The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 299

The queen thought about Concubine Le's words, nodded when she felt it was reasonable, then turned to Madam Yang and said, "You go to the East Palace yourself and tell Concubine Xie to take good care of the prince, and pay special attention to the prince's meals, soups, and tea. , as long as anything related to food is not allowed to be touched by strangers, these last three days are very important."

"Yes, I will go to the East Palace to inform you to thank the side concubine." Yang Nanny replied, then turned and walked towards the East Palace.

When Aunt Yang arrived at the East Palace, Concubine Xie was checking Li Dingkang's meals with the imperial physician, and after making sure that there was no problem, she served Li Dingkang to eat. During the whole meal, Concubine Xie was meticulous, considerate and considerate.

Nanny Yang watched from the side, and couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.After Li Dingkang finished his meal, Concubine Xie ordered someone to help Li Dingkang back to the inner bed, then she turned to Yang Nanny and said, "Yang Nanny, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Nanny Yang shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, this servant just obeyed the queen's order to come and visit the prince, seeing that the prince can eat now, this servant is relieved."

Concubine Xie is smart, so she naturally knew that Nanny Yang came here not only to see the prince, but now it is the critical period for the prince to detoxify. She must have been ordered by the queen to come here to tell her, so she smiled and said : "I don't know if the queen has something to tell the nanny to the concubine."

Nanny Yang glanced at Concubine Xie appreciatively, and then replied: "Concubine Xie is so considerate and considerate. The prince's meals, soups and tea are all checked by the imperial physician before being used by the prince. The queen has nothing to worry about. .”

As soon as Concubine Xie heard this, she knew what the queen meant, so she said with a smile: "The concubine is afraid that someone will tamper with the prince's meal, soup and tea, so I asked the imperial doctor to check again and again. Although the process is a bit troublesome, but At least it ensures the safety of the prince's diet. And in the prince's bedroom, only concubines and people the prince can trust."

There is no need to say the words of exhortation, Yang Nanny left the East Palace satisfied, Xie side concubine watched Yang Nanny leave, with a special and profound smile on her beautiful face.

Three days later, Li Dingkang reappeared in the morning court. When Li Yi saw Li Dingkang, he was also quite surprised. He thought that Li Dingkang would need to rest for at least a while before he could go to the morning court, but he did not expect him to recover so quickly. .

After the morning court, Li Dingkang followed Li Yi to the imperial study. After Li Yi sat down before the imperial case, he said to Li Dingkang with concern: "Kang'er, do you really need to rest for a while?"

Li Dingkang shook his head vigorously and said: "My son feels very energetic now, and there is no need to rest."

Hearing this, Li Yi saw that Li Dingkang was really in good spirits, so he felt relieved and said, "Seeing that you have successfully quit Wutian Poison, I am very comforted. You really did not disappoint me."

Hearing this, Li Dingkang smiled emotionally and said: "My minister was able to get rid of Wutian Poison successfully, thanks to Concubine Xie who was by my side, if she hadn't been waiting for my son day and night, giving me help when I was most sad. If you support me, I may not be able to persist."

Hearing Li Dingkang mention Concubine Xie, Li Yi thought of the woman he had met several times before. He remembered that it was a gift from Daxin officials when they learned that Kanger was so beautiful when he was an envoy. Unexpectedly, in just over a year, she actually climbed to the position of side concubine. Thinking that the woman was sent by an official from another country, Li Yi didn't like it, so he just said lightly: "So it's her, I can tell Kang'er, you like side concubine Xie very much, do you intend to make her the right concubine?"

Li Dingkang had such thoughts, but he didn't mention it yet, but his father already knew what he was thinking, so he said truthfully: "Xie's side concubine is dignified and virtuous, and the empress mother also praised her very much. My son really intends to promote her as the right concubine." , and she deserves it with her character."

Li Yi knew that he couldn't refuse this matter outright, so he just wondered: "Your mother said yes, it must be very good, but after all, side concubine Xie is from Daxin, her family background is not high, and she has no background behind her. For the first time, I am afraid that those side concubines in your East Palace who have family background and background will feel unwilling to be promoted to the position of main concubine, and I think this should be slowed down."

It's not that Li Yi doesn't agree, it's just that it's difficult for the forces of all parties, which makes it difficult for Li Dingkang to persist. He originally wanted to surprise Concubine Xie, but now it seems that this surprise is afraid to be delayed.

Seeing that Li Dingkang no longer persisted, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment a servant came in to report: "Master, there is a maid outside the palace who claims to be serving by Concubine Xie's side. She has something to report to the lord and the prince."

Hearing this, Li Yi frowned in displeasure, thinking in his heart that Concubine Xie was really ignorant, but on his face he ordered the servant calmly: "Bring the man in!"

After a while, the servant brought a maid with delicate features and calm temperament into the palace.At this time, Li Dingkang said eagerly: "Your mother sent you here, what's the matter?"

"The lord is overjoyed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is overjoyed. The maidservant is ordered by the Queen Mother to inform the Lord and His Royal Highness that Concubine Xie is pregnant." The maid said happily.

Li Yi and Li Dingkang were startled when they heard the words, they didn't expect such good news to come suddenly.Li Dingkang was the first to react, and he happily said to the maid: "How long has Concubine Xie been pregnant, but today the imperial doctor asked Ping An to find out."

The palace lady heard the words, showing a distressed look on her face, and said: "Your Majesty suddenly has a stomachache today, and seeing the red, the servant was worried that something might happen, so she invited the imperial doctor to see it, and found out that the Majesty was pregnant for more than two months. I worked so hard to activate the fetal gas, fortunately it was discovered early, and the imperial doctor prescribed anti-fetal medicine, and after taking a few pastes, everything will be fine."

As soon as Li Yi heard that she was more than two months pregnant, the thoughts that came to her mind had to be dispelled, and she only took the first step and said to Li Dingkang: "Kang Er, Concubine Xie is pregnant with royal blood. Giving her the title of concubine, I just thought about giving her the title of concubine now. If she gives birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor in the future, it will be a miracle. What should I reward him for? So I decided to reward some gold, silver and jewelry first. After she gives birth in the future, I will issue a decree to bestow the position of concubine, so it will be much more legitimate."

Hearing this, Li Dingkang felt that it was reasonable, and he didn't force anything. He just thanked Concubine Xie, then hurriedly resigned, and went back to the East Palace to visit Concubine Xie.

In the bedroom where Concubine Xie lived, Li Dingkang came back just after the queen left. He sat down beside the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Xie's hands, and said with a happy face: "My concubine, I found out that you are pregnant with us." As soon as the father is happy, he promises that you will give birth in the future, and he will personally decree to give you the title of concubine."

Concubine Xie leaned gently into Li Dingkang's arms, and said softly, "Your Highness must have won this for my concubine. Thank you Your Highness for doting on my concubine so much."
