Chapter 91 Rouge Tiger

"Your majesty is going to entertain the feudal lord tonight?" Si Luoyun heard the emperor's sigh, and looked up at him with a haggard face, "Too much wine will hurt your health, your majesty should be more careful."

Years ago, Dugu Ye issued an order to various feudal lords to come to Beijing, and some feudal lords came to Beijing one after another before and after the year.Some of these vassals are his uncles, some are cousins, some are brothers... and some are the royal family of nephews and grandchildren.

Regardless of the size of the fief, these vassal kings governed the country according to the old system, and the imperial court only paid annual tribute, but did not care about other things.If the land is barren, the vassals there are sometimes not as comfortable as officials in the court!Therefore, some vassal kings still agree with the cutting of vassals!

The imperial court took back the vassal lands that owned a large area of ​​rich land, and then divided them into fiefdoms; at the same time, all those lands will belong to the imperial court in the future. If there is any natural or man-made disaster, the imperial court will send money, food and soldiers to help.

When a vassal prince enters the capital, the emperor naturally wants to entertain him graciously, but having too many banquets is also a burden!What's more, Dugu Ye was really tired at the banquet with some vassal lords!

"I know." Dugu Ye put his arms around Si Luoyun's shoulder and said softly, "It's almost time to finish interviewing these vassal kings."

"The concubine heard that the only one left is King Chen who hasn't entered the capital yet?" Si Luoyun thought of her "nephew".

Dugu Ye's eyes flickered, and he said softly: "I have postponed the time for King Chen to enter Beijing, and ordered him to enter Beijing in October this year."

Si Luoyun was slightly surprised, she never expected that Wang Chen would make an exception!

Dugu Ye's hand gently slid onto Si Luoyun's lower abdomen, his eyes softened again.

What should come will still come!He thought that with Fubao and Hu'er in this life, this child would have no chance with them. Unexpectedly, the child who hadn't met in the previous life still came!Dugu Ye always thought that Hu'er was a child born in its stead, but now it seems that's not the case!
Before the new year, Si Luoyun always felt tired, and she thought it was due to the busy palace affairs.After hosting the birthday party for her daughter and son, she started to feel sick again!Because of the normal menstruation, neither she nor the maid in the palace had ever thought about getting pregnant!
When watching the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she fell into the emperor's arms in a dizzy state, frightening everyone!The imperial physician rushed to Feng Palace to feel the queen's pulse, and found out that Si Luoyun was more than a month pregnant!

Si Luoyun didn't believe it, and said that although her menstruation was two or three days late and her blood volume was less, she still came normally.

The imperial physician reassured that some pregnant women would have bleeding symptoms in the early stage, which was often mistaken for menstruation.If you don't pay attention, the child will not be able to keep it!

This was really an unexpected surprise, and the emperor was so happy from ear to ear again!How wonderful that he is going to be a dad again soon!

But thinking about all the dangers in the previous life, Duguye decided to temporarily hide the news that the queen was pregnant again, and ordered the people in Fenggong Palace to keep their mouths shut and the gate of the palace tightly guarded!
At the same time, after consulting Si Luoyun's opinion, the palace affairs were once again handed over to Concubine Liao Xian and Concubine Si Shu for joint management.

The queen handed over the palace affairs again due to illness, which made the queen mother very dissatisfied!Called the emperor to chatter for a few words, vaguely meaning that "the empress is useless, the emperor should be more fortunate to the new concubine who entered the palace, and give birth to more children as soon as possible".

The emperor was just perfunctory, but he didn't listen to a word of Queen Mother Xu's words!

Dugu Ye stayed with Si Luoyun for a while in Feng Palace, and then reluctantly got up to meet the feudal lords.

Si Luoyun sent the emperor away, then went to the side hall to see the sleeping daughter and son, told the wet nurse a few words and went back to the bedroom.

Now Fubao and Hu'er had only changed two wet nurses, that is, sent Fubao's two wet nurses out of the palace, but the two wet nurses Li and Wang who had taken care of Hu'er stayed behind.Si Luoyun separated them and brought the newly entered nurse to take care of the two children.

With the example of Qiao and Du Nurse, Li and Wang no longer dare to treat them differently!Do your best to take care of the princess and prince!This is also the result that Si Luoyun wanted!

"Your Majesty." Liao Mu'er walked in from the outside, her cheeks were rosy from the cold after she had already driven away the cold outside.

It was still very cold in February, and it snowed just a few days ago, so the ground dragons and charcoal fires in each hall were still well supplied.

Chunxiao served tea to Liao Muer, and handed over a hand warmer with replaced charcoal.

After Liao Mu'er sat down, Si Luoyun asked, "How are Mr. Xing and Mr. Nian?"

The day before yesterday, someone from the palace came to report that nobleman Xing and nobleman Nian both had a cold. The imperial doctor of the imperial hospital went to see it and prescribed a prescription.But after drinking the medicine for a few days, it still didn't work, and the condition became more and more serious!

Liao Mu'er put down the stove and took a sip of tea, and her stomach felt much warmer immediately.

"Returning to your mother, I think that nobleman Xing is seriously ill." Liao Mu'er said, "Besides, the halls of the two noblemen are a bit cold. The first place for servants is the Baolan Hall of nobleman Nian. In the charcoal basin, there is only burning fire. A few pieces of charcoal did not look like silver frost charcoal. The palace maid who served the nobleman said that the amount of silver frost charcoal dispatched in the past month has decreased a lot. I went to talk to Empress Zhen, but she only said the share. Such is the case."

Si Luoyun frowned after hearing Liao Muer's words, but did not interrupt.

"Later, the maidservant went to the Baohua Palace of Lord Xing, and the charcoal basin in the hall was full of charcoal fire, but the maidservant said that the concubine Zhen sent someone to send it over... the charcoal that was burnt before was also ordinary charcoal, and it was handed out. It's also a deficiency." Liao Muer continued, "The slave felt strange, so she secretly asked the maid next to the Nian nobleman when she came out, and the palace maid said that after the snowfall last year, the Xing nobleman had some conflicts with the Nian nobleman. With the words of Concubine Zhen and the Eldest Princess, there will be fewer quotas for these two palaces in the future."

Liao Mu'er roughly learned what noble Xing and noble Nian said she had heard from the maidservant.

Si Luoyun lowered her eyes after listening, her red lips were slightly pursed.

Although concubine Liao Xian and Concubine Si Shu are temporarily in charge of the palace affairs, Si Luoyun still asks Liao Muer to go to Jinglan Palace every day to learn about palace affairs for a day.Now she will not let go of palace affairs easily and completely!For the sake of the child, she has to treat this queen as a competent person!

This is obviously because Concubine Zhen hated Xing and Nian for talking against her and deliberately withholding the rules!This is sick and cold, it's no wonder the condition doesn't get worse!
"My servant has been walking around in various palaces these days, and I heard that Concubine Zhen often goes to Funing Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and sometimes she takes the Eldest Princess there with her. The Empress Dowager likes the Eldest Princess very much." Liao Muer said, "My Lady, Concubine Zhen probably has some restless thoughts!"

Si Luoyun pondered for a while, then raised her eyes and smiled and said: "Concubine Zhen had no Sacred Heart when she was in the Chen Kingdom, and even if she gave birth to the eldest princess in the harem, her status is not high. Going to Funing Palace, it should be to From now on, rely on the Queen Mother."

"How could the queen mother let her rely on her?" Liao Mu'er mocked, "It's hard to see clearly."

"Forget it, I don't want to guess what Concubine Zhen's plans are! Send people to the palaces to pass on the message, and let the concubines of the palaces come to Fenggong Palace to talk to each other tomorrow!" Si Luoyun said calmly.

"Your Majesty, you want to..." Liao Muer looked at Queen Si questioningly.

Si Luoyun shook her head lightly and sighed: "I let them play tricks in order to fight for favor, but I can't let them break the rules in the palace! If something really happened to Mrs. Don't you blame me for not managing the palace affairs?"

In his position, he must bear his responsibility!
The next day, except for nobleman Xing and nobleman Nian who were ill, all other concubines went to Feng Palace to pay their respects.Although Xing and Nian couldn't come, according to the rules set by the emperor, the maids beside them were waiting at the door of the hall of ceremonies.

When these concubines entered the Hall of Ceremony for the first time, they could smell the smell of incense mixed with medicine, and the seats were moved closer to the door, and the concubines couldn't help but look at each other.

The last time the seat was moved away from the empress' main seat was when the empress was pregnant!this time……

Si Luoyun had already sat on the main seat waiting for the concubines, and after everyone was ready, the concubines saluted the queen and greeted her.

After the concubines were seated, Si Luoyun said in a low voice: "I am sick and resting, I shouldn't have called you here, so as not to get sick. But something happened in the palace that violated the palace rules. I had to call you all over."

Concubine Liao Xian and Concubine Si Shu were taken aback. As concubines and concubines who were in charge of palace affairs, they didn't know that someone in the palace violated the palace rules. On the contrary, the empress who ignored palace affairs found out!This matter is serious!

"This... I don't know who violated the palace rules and alarmed you, empress?" Concubine Si Shu raised her eyebrows and said softly, "I will definitely punish you severely!"

Concubine Liao Xian had already stood up and wanted to admit her mistake to the queen, but seeing Concubine Si Shu sitting and saying this, she couldn't take off Concubine Shu's face!He had no choice but to stand up and agree: "Concubine Shu is right, and this concubine thinks so too."

Si Luoyun looked at Concubine Liao Xian and shook her head secretly.

In terms of status, although Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu are both one of the four concubines, the position of Concubine Xian is higher than Concubine Shu!Concubine Liao Xian is also a concubine who served the emperor earlier, Concubine Shu should be a head shorter when she sees her!However, Concubine Liao Xian gave way to Concubine Si Shu everywhere, and often let Concubine Si Shu steal the limelight!
"Concubine Xian, sit down." Si Luoyun said to Concubine Liao Xian gently, "It's not because you and Concubine Shu have neglected their duties, this palace also learned about it by accident."

After finishing speaking, Si Luoyun turned her eyes to the calm Concubine Zhen.

"Concubine Zhen?" Si Luoyun's voice turned cold, and she called Concubine Zhen, "Are you convicted?"

Concubine Zhen is getting along like a duck to water with Empress Dowager Xu recently, and she and the eldest princess coaxed the Empress Dowager into a smile!The empress dowager also said that she wanted to bring the eldest princess to Funing Palace to raise her herself!

In the eyes of the subjects, the princess raised by the queen mother is no less inferior than the eldest princess from the first line!
Concubine Zhen is now full of thoughts on how to take advantage of Empress Dowager Xu to send the Eldest Princess to Funing Palace, but she lost her mind in front of Empress Si!Empress Si called her, but she didn't hear her!

Everyone looked at Concubine Zhen who was still in a daze, and the eyes couldn't help but feel weird!

The Empress asked, "Concubine Zhen, are you guilty?"!Wasn't it audacious for her to act so nonchalant!

"Concubine Zhen!" Concubine Si Shu took the opportunity to shout angrily, "You are so bold! You pretended not to hear what the empress said!"

Concubine Si Shu was sitting next to Concubine Zhen, this time she heard it!

"Shu... Concubine Shu? Empress?" Concubine Zhen was so frightened that she stood up, a little at a loss.

Concubine Si Shu and Concubine Zhen's Liang Zi got married when they first entered the palace!Empress Dowager Xu once wanted to use Concubine Zhen to trample on other concubines, and even belittled herself!

Recently, when I heard that Concubine Zhen often went to Funing Palace to please the Queen Mother, Concubine Si Shu disliked her even more!

Si Luoyun looked coldly at Concubine Zhen who was still in shock, and repeated: "Concubine Zhen, are you convicted?"
