royal princess

Chapter 241 She Wants That Hug, Too 1
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor only sealed his pen at this year, which can be regarded as the latest year to seal his pen in recent years.After the real sealing of the pen, the new year will be imminent, and no one is making a fuss about the fact that the emperor lived in Yihexuan directly after sealing the pen.

Is it strange that the emperor doesn't go?
Concubine Xi has this ability, but if she refuses to accept it, if you have the ability, you can snatch it back?
No one can get it back.

Especially after childhood sweetheart Qiao Xiaoyi was severely injured, everyone in the harem temporarily died down.

After the incidents of Dou Fangyi and Qin Yuchuan, no one would overreach themselves to challenge the emperor's patience with an egg and a stone.

No matter which matter it is, it is actually not a small matter. If it is placed on others, even if it does not fall out of favor, it will at least be left in the cold by the emperor for a few months.But Concubine Xi was banned, and the emperor still went to accompany her every day, no matter how much unwillingness there was, he could only swallow it forcefully.

Concubine Xi must have been a vixen in her previous life.

Everyone thinks so.

On New Year's Eve, Fenghuan Palace was brightly lit. Everyone first went to Shoukang Palace to greet the Queen Mother and celebrate the new year, and then moved to Fenghuan Palace to watch the new year.After all, the queen mother said that she was old and it was cold, so she didn't want to move.

The respectful and filial empress, of course, could not let the empress dowager move to Fenghuan Palace, so she took all the concubines to Shoukang Palace to celebrate the new year for the empress dowager.After such a back and forth, it was snowing again, and everyone's face was as cold as a purple eggplant.

Even though Si Jin was wrapped in thick fox fur and stepped on calfskin boots, she was still shivering from the cold.After returning to Fenghuan Palace, the empress was very considerate and asked everyone to rest in the side hall, and asked their personal palace servants to go back to get clothes and change.The snow on the road was all stained on the shoes and skirts, and it was already out of sight.

Si Jin thought that it was a pity that she didn't hold her son to suffer, so she put it in Fenghuan Palace for Aunt Tong to watch, the Queen's Niannian was indeed a brilliant move.

Yun Chang went back to Yihexuan to pick up her clothes and shoes, Qi Ronghua was sitting beside Si Jin, and her palace servants also went back.The maid of Fenghuan Palace brought hot tea, Si Jin suspected that she had kicked another one in her stomach, so she didn't dare to drink tea, looked at the palace maid and said, "Bring a cup of fruit tea instead."

"Yes." The palace man didn't ask any further questions, and withdrew while holding the original teacup.

Qi Ronghua glanced at Concubine Xi's belly, then turned his eyes away immediately, then smiled softly, and said in a low voice, "Congratulations, empress."

"I can't do it right now." Si Jin whispered to Qi Ronghua, "I'm the one who should be more careful, but there are some generals and mobs. Sister Qi, don't laugh at me."

Qi Ronghua looked at Si Jin and smiled, "It's about the heir of the dragon, so you can't be too careful, you should."

The two lowered their voices to chat and laugh, and the people around looked here intentionally or unintentionally. Now that everyone knows that they can talk to Concubine Xi, it is really surprising that there is only the humble Qi Ronghua in the palace. I don't know when Qi Ronghua hugged the big tree of Concubine Xi.

Without making a sound, it entered Concubine Xi's eyes.

Qi Ronghua was thinking in his heart, the last time the empress dowager used the emperor's heir to press the emperor to get close to others, who knew that she would find more life, and the empress dowager Xi had good news again.After the news was confirmed, Qi Ronghua thought in his heart that if the second prince was born, Concubine Xi's position would be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one would easily shake her.

There is no child in the middle palace, and no descendants.If Concubine Xi's two sons are all high in the rankings, and there are no accidents in the future, it can be regarded as half of the income in the bag.

What's more, the emperor cared so much about Concubine Xi that even such a thing as a marriage contract, he could lift it up high and put it down lightly. What else could not happen?Besides, there may not be more children in the future. Concubine Xi is still young, she still has a few years of good life, and she has enough time to give birth to enough children.

As long as the dragon's favor persists.

Qi Ronghua breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart. She really hoped that Concubine Xi would always be favored like this, and her position would always be stable. One day in the future, Concubine Xi would remember their original agreement and help avenge her.

Thinking of this, Qi Ronghua's eyes lightly fell on the concubine not far away.Luxurious and rich palace attire, complicated and exquisite headgear, the imperial concubine is still the only one in the palace.It's just that, now, even if she is still a noble concubine, her aura is still there, but without the grace, she always lacks so much confidence.

Soon all the palace servants brought their clothes, and Si Jin took Qi Ronghua to another room to change.In the process of changing clothes, Qi Ronghua looked at Concubine Xi and said, "When is your empress going to announce this good news?"

Si Jin really didn't think about this question carefully. After listening to Qi Ronghua's words, she turned her head to look at her, "Wait until after the Lantern Festival." It's not good if you accidentally touch it.

Qi Ronghua pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Concubine Xi, stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "During the good days of getting rid of the old and ushering in the new, don't you think the emperor will be happier after hearing this news?"

Si Jin looked at Xi Ronghua and said nothing.

"Your Majesty is now a concubine, and you will be able to accept the invitation from your wife after the next year." Qi Ronghua said softly.

Si Jin blinked. She really didn't know that she would be treated like this. She looked at Qi Ronghua, "It's always been the empress's business to meet married women."

"Yes, but even if the empress has three heads and six arms, she can't finish seeing so many wives. Therefore, every year, the empress will distribute the wives she cannot entertain to the concubines such as noble concubines and virtuous concubines. Although the empress is not Not ranked as the fourth concubine, but the news of being pregnant after the eldest prince undoubtedly increased the weight of the empress, and this kind of honor falls on the empress, which is a good opportunity to pave the way for the future eldest prince."

Si Jin understood now that she was in a low position before, and she was basically in a closed environment when she was pregnant and gave birth, so she basically didn't pay attention to such things.Even if someone mentioned it occasionally, I'm afraid she wouldn't take it to heart.

Now that Qi Ronghua reminded her like this, she realized that she already had the right to make a wife.Subconsciously stroking his belly, he still felt a little stunned, that is to say, even ordinary empresses and concubines could no longer communicate with their family members as before, with such frequent contacts, as long as they could see the wives outside, they could still spread the news.

No wonder, Si Jin never felt how flustered the empress and concubine were after the emperor built the palace wall and took charge of the inner court.

There is also a second move.

She didn't even pay attention at all, Si Jin felt that after staying in the palace for so many years, did she really have to be pregnant for three years after giving birth to a child?

Looking at Concubine Xi's appearance, Qi Ronghua knew that his guess was right, that Concubine Xi really didn't pay attention to such things.I can't help but sigh in my heart, sometimes the empress is thoughtful and convincing when she does things.But sometimes I'm really confused, I don't care about such a big thing, and I think it's a bit funny.

It was the first time she opened her eyes that a complex yet simple temperament could be perfectly reflected in a person.

After the two changed their clothes, Si Jin slowly came back to his senses, looked at Xi Ronghua and said, "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I didn't notice this."

"Your Majesty has to take care of the First Prince every day, so I don't want to think about it. It's just me saying something more." Qi Ronghua smiled, she really envied Concubine Xi for living such a happy and carefree life.

It can make her carelessly pay attention to the struggle for power and profit, which shows that the emperor treats Concubine Xi really well.

Whether a man treats a woman well or not, one only needs to look at her normal living conditions to know.The more perfect a person is, the more tiring his life is, because there are too many things that need to be done by himself.The more Concubine Xi is so forgetful, the happier she is.

Because you don't need to think about those complicated things, someone will take care of it for you.

Si Jin naturally didn't know what was going on in Qi Ronghua's mind, she was only thinking about one thing now, whether she should tell Xiao Qi about her pregnancy.

After the two changed their clothes and came out, there were already a lot of people outside, which showed that everyone moved very quickly.

Si Jin sat back in his seat, Qi Ronghua also returned to his seat, and the two separated.Concubine Xian sat on one side of Si Jin, and Concubine Mei on the other. Although Concubine Mei was more senior than her and entered the palace earlier than her, she had no children, so when ranking, Si Jin took the position of Concubine Mei. the first one.

This is a subtle rule in the palace, even if Concubine Mei is unhappy in her heart, she doesn't show it on her face.

Through the curtain, you can still hear the laughter of children coming from inside, it's Princess Yuzhen and the First Prince.On such a day, although the two children did not go to Shoukang Palace, Fenghuan Palace will still come. After all, Xiao Qi will also come. How can there be fewer children on a family reunion day?

It is really surprising that the noble concubine let Yuzhen run around in Fenghuan Palace so reassuringly today. In the past, the noble concubine regarded Princess Yuzhen very seriously, and whenever she went out, she had to see where her eyes could see.

Although she didn't know why there was such a change, Si Jin was really not worried that her son would suffer a disadvantage in Fenghuan Palace.

"I didn't expect Princess Yuzhen and the eldest prince to play together. We were all happy when we heard the two children laughing happily." Concubine Xian looked at the concubine and Si Jin with a smile and said.

The imperial concubine smiled lightly, glanced at the concubine Xian, and then said slowly: "After all, they are sisters and brothers, and there are many feelings in many places."

The smile on Si Jin's face did not change, she looked at the imperial concubine and nodded, "Sister imperial concubine said that there are only these two children in the palace, who can kiss them if they are not close. In the past, the children were small, and there were few children in the palace. Take care of it carefully. Now that the children are growing up, they can rest assured."

Children in the palace are not easy to feed, and it is not uncommon for them to die when they are five or six years old. The imperial concubine guards the children like eyeballs, and there is nothing to blame.Si Jin herself took her son very seriously. Although she didn't like Yuzhen's temperament, it was not good for her son to have no playmates.With Aunt Tong and Aunt Jiang guarding them, the two children will be fine.

Speaking of children, listening to Concubine Xi's tone, Concubine Xi felt much more at ease.Others said that she kept the child in the Changle Palace and was not allowed to come out even a single step, but no one knew her painstaking efforts.Children in the palace are not easy to raise, and now the emperor is becoming more and more dissatisfied with her natal family, I am afraid that the hope of having another child is very slim, not to mention that there is still a concubine Xi who regards the emperor to death.Right now, there is only such a child who can remind the emperor of Changle Palace, and often go to sit and sit. Naturally, she has raised the child well.

Yuzhen's temperament is not very good, and she did her best, but the child was raised and raised, and she couldn't bear any grievances.Can she really fight?She couldn't bear it.

After what happened last time, she has also become alert in her heart, and now when she is free, she always takes Yuzhen by her side to teach herself.Although it caused her a lot of headaches, at least it had some effect, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to let her daughter, girl, and eldest prince be together.

If the eldest prince is bumped into, it doesn't matter which one the emperor feels sorry for, and the one who suffers is naturally his own daughter.

Listening to Concubine Xi's words now, it really tickles the imperial concubine's itch. Concubine Xi also has children, so naturally she knows that raising children is not easy.As far as the bridge of the child is concerned, the two of them can really look good, and they talk with each other in a friendly and relaxed manner, which really blinds everyone.

The promised concubine and concubine Xi don't get along?
"What the concubine sister said is that my Yihe Pavilion was full of smoke from the first prince's torment all day long, and there was a long list of people following him to clean up. When I couldn't leave, I hoped that he would leave, but now he will. I really have a headache when I leave." Si Jin could only smile when he thought of how Chen De'an brought a group of little eunuchs to follow behind his son in a mess every day.

It's good to be the emperor's child, and someone will take care of you.It's not like when she was a child, if she dared to do this, her parents would have slapped her ass.At that time, the parents of the family had to go to work, so there was no time to spend time with the kid.

"Where are you now, when the eldest prince is as old as Yuzhen, you will have even more headaches. I catch you every day asking why this and why, and if you can't answer, she will still roll her eyes and despise you. I think I have to stay up late with a book and study hard when I am here, and people will laugh at me when I say it, what can I do?" The imperial concubine sighed, her daughter has a bad temper and she likes to ask why, she can't do it at this age. Invite a master to teach her. She hasn't read a few of the palace people's books in the palace, so she can only go into battle by herself.

I haven't stayed up late holding a book like this for many years, and the dark circles under my eyes have come out.

"Princess Yuzhen is really motivated in her studies. In the future, her homework must be excellent. The elder sister of the imperial concubine is complaining at the moment, and there will be a talented girl in the future. You are laughing." Recommended, in fact, she is also favored, but her stomach is not up to the mark, and she has not been able to conceive a child. At this age, there are many concubines in the palace, not to mention Xie who is eyeing her. Concubine, I'm afraid I won't have children in this life.

Concubine Xian also nodded with a smile, "Yes, it is said that children's debts, children's debts, no matter how much you worry about children, you are happy. Don't look at the concubine and sister complaining hard, but my heart is full of joy."

"That's right, the last time when the concubine went to Changle Palace, Princess Yuzhen broke the mother's favorite jade cup, and I didn't see you frowning. You were always worried that the princess would cut your hands. The hearts of mothers are the same in the world. I think Didn't our family pamper us like this when we were young?" Concubine Qu squeezed the handkerchief and smiled, she glanced at Concubine Xi from the corner of her eyes, and then lightly looked away.

The concubines in the front were talking happily, while the low-ranking concubines in the back watched the excitement from a distance.Chu Chenglan would never appear on such an occasion. It was said that the Empress specially ordered someone to deliver a sumptuous meal. Everyone said that the Empress cherished the love of brothers and sisters, and at this time, she still missed Mrs. Chu Guiren.

Sitting next to Qiao Lingyi was Wang Jingyun, one of them was from the fifth rank, and the other was from the sixth rank, right next to each other.

Wang Jingyun looked at Qiao Xiaoyi's thin face, and knew the reason in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, and the two of them couldn't just sit like this and think that they didn't agree when they saw other people's eyes.She could only rack her brains to think of topics, and when she heard the happy words of the ladies in front of her, she took the opportunity to say, "Speaking of which, Elder Sister Qiao and Princess Yuzhen get along quite well, we are all envious."
