Resourceful beauty

Chapter 248
"The Crown Princess is pregnant, one of you is a side concubine and the other is Liangdi, whether you serve the Crown Prince or the common affairs in the East Palace, you should share the worries of the Crown Princess, understand?"

When Hu Moyan and Lin Ke'er saluted and stood up, Queen Zhou asked gently.

Hu Moyan's face was as usual, but Lin Ke'er's eyes flickered a little after hearing the phrase "share worries". reward.

Coming out of Fengming Palace, the group of three followed Concubine Han Shu to Changle Palace.

Still just like before, Concubine Han Shu rewarded the two of them with something, but she didn't mention the words of worrying, and even beat the two of them with cryptic words.

Fang Ruxuan watched coldly, Hu Moyan responded simply, as if she wished that the matter of the East Palace had nothing to do with her, but Lin Keer, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment and then agreed, but it was a little perfunctory, thinking about it, in Lin Keer's heart , naturally the words of Queen Zhou, the master of the harem/palace, carry more weight.

After sending the two of them back first, Concubine Han Shu left Fang Ruxuan to talk.

"Those two are the eyeliners that the Empress Dowager and Queen placed in the East Palace. It is wise for His Highness not to move them, but for these two, one is the side concubine and the other is Liang Di. , before the empress dowager and the queen are dissatisfied, even the king will definitely think that you, the princess, are not virtuous enough."

Concubine Han Shu's words were gentle, but the meaning in her words made Fang Ruxuan know it well, and arranged for Hu Moyan and Lin Ke'er to sleep with her earlier.

Fang Ruxuan nodded, "Ruxuan knows, thank you, Concubine Mu, for pointing it out."

Concubine Han Shu didn't say anything more, she asked Fang Ruxuan about the child in Fang Ruxuan's womb, knowing that the child is well-behaved every day, Concubine Han Shu smiled and said: "Only girls can care about the hardships of mother's pregnancy in October. "

However, after speaking, she looked a little sad. Thinking about it, she also hoped that Fang Ruxuan's child would be a prince.

Concubine Fang gave birth to the fourteenth prince, not many days after the Ghost Festival, King Yao gave him a name, Chu He, a well-established name, neither good nor bad.

Immediately afterwards, King Yao's reward came down, and Queen Zhou and others also sent congratulatory gifts to Lanyue Pavilion.

The day of the full moon happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the Mid-Autumn Festival banquets in the palace were cancelled, and Concubine Fang didn't mention that she would celebrate the full moon for her child. However, King Yao and Queen Zhou had their own rewards.

Now, although Lanyue Pavilion is no longer deserted as it was during the Ghost Festival, it has gradually gained some popularity, and everyone in the palace also consciously called the Fourteenth Prince "Little Prince".

"I don't know if Concubine Fang regrets that day. Even if it's only one day later, I'm afraid this child won't have the reputation she has now, and instead dragged her down. You can't live without committing crimes..."

Sighing softly, Concubine Han Shu glanced at Fang Ruxuan's stomach, and said carefully: "You must be cautious, you should be more careful, you know?"

Fang Ruxuan nodded yes.

After returning from Changle Palace, in the main hall of Xuanyi Hall, Lin Ke'er was sitting there alone, even though no one paid attention to her, she also had a calm face, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Fang Ruxuan stepped through the palace gate and saw Lin Ke'er got up to salute, she asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Lin Liang?"

Lin Ke'er shook her head, smiling softly, "The concubine is sitting alone when I go back, so it's better to come and talk to the princess, and pass the time. If the princess has anything to do, I can also send my concubine to do it. "

Lin Ke'er ignored Chu Yuan's words when she woke up early.

After receiving Ding Xiang's helpless look, Fang Ruxuan knew that she must have persuaded Lin Ke'er to go back on her own, but Lin Ke'er didn't take it seriously, thinking that her actions were just what she liked.

You know, the women in the palace are bored all day long, and it would be great to have someone to talk to to pass the time.

She stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that Lin Keer had only entered the palace for a few days, Fang Ruxuan couldn't spoil her interest, and immediately ordered Ding Xiang to prepare cakes and tea fruits, Lin Keer graciously stepped forward to support Fang Ruxuan, and the two Into the inner hall.

Fang Ruxuan sat down on the soft couch, and Lin Keer sat on the round stool next to the brocade table, chatting with Fang Ruxuan about the interesting things in Shangyang City, but she always accompanied her cautiously, which made her Fang Ruxuan couldn't like her from the bottom of her heart.

Near lunch time, Chu Yuan came back.

I thought Lin Ke'er would realize that after receiving Chu Yuan's words during breakfast, but Chu Yuan took Fang Ruxuan's hand and headed towards the dining table, Lin Ke'er still had no intention of saying goodbye.

Seeing her standing behind Fang Ruxuan, Chu Yuan frowned again, "I don't have the habit of being served by others, and neither does the Crown Princess. Lin Liangdi can just go back to her room to eat, and she doesn't need to be served in Xuanyi Palace."

Lin Ke'er was stunned, and only then did she realize that she had misunderstood Chu Yuan's meaning.

Her pretty face was flushed red, but there was a sparkle in her eyes again, she bent over and saluted, Lin Ke'er turned around and left the Hall of Xuanyi, almost as soon as the curtain fell, tears also fell down, letting the guard at the door Mulberry and Mulberry Ye outside were dumbfounded, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Didn't His Highness reprimand her?Why is she wronged?
Sangye looked at Sangshen with a questioning face, and saw Sangshen pouted her lips, opened her mouth silently, and spit out two words: hypocritical.

After lunch, seeing that the sky outside was gray and not sunny, Chu Yuan took Fang Ruxuan's hand, and the two started to stroll in the yard.

"Is something wrong? I see you are frowning..."

While stopping to rest, Fang Ruxuan stretched out her hand to caress Chu Yuan's frowning brows, and asked with concern.

With a long sigh, Chu Yuan said in a deep voice: "All the food collected by the states and counties has been transported to the drought-stricken areas, but it is a drop in the bucket. In addition, the drought was too severe before, and there are endless rogues and horse thieves everywhere. Now, the situation is getting worse. If the court If there is no further action, I am afraid that it will become uncontrollable."

It is still just a bandit and bandit now, if it develops into a riot of refugees, it will be a big turmoil.

Throughout the ages, such examples are not uncommon.

"Then in the morning, what was the result of the discussion?"

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but wrinkled her face.

Chu Yuan shook his head, "We can only order to pacify and calm the chaos first. As for the follow-up, it depends on the actions of the court. But, I see, my father wants to send troops to dry areas."

"You want to go?"

With a heartbeat, Fang Ruxuan asked nervously.

Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then comforted Fang Ruxuan and said, "Right now, I just have such an idea, but don't worry, I won't rush straight up in a daze."

As if she didn't understand what Chu Yuan meant, Fang Ruxuan looked at him suspiciously, as if she felt that he was lying to herself.

Chu Yuan smiled and took Fang Ruxuan's hand, and said in a low voice as he walked forward: "King Yong is in charge of the military department, and he usually shows his loyalty in front of his father. This time something happened, but he didn't show up. But I reckon that the meaning of the father is also to send him to the dry area."

"Then he will go?"

Fang Ruxuan expressed doubts about this.

Since the drought broke out, Chu Yuan took the king's order to go to Mingzhao Temple to offer sacrifices to heaven, and King Xuan even went to the drought-stricken area with the rescue supplies allocated from the treasury. King Ping and King Rui also had their own actions. Nothing outstanding.

Nowadays, there are many bandits, it is reasonable for King Yao to let King Yong lead the army to quell the chaos.

However, as the saying goes, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and those who become bandits are forced to take that road. If they really want to fight, let alone swords without eyes, they just have eyes. They are not afraid either, so King Yong led his troops to quell the chaos, needless to say the risks involved.

Injuries are inevitable, and one carelessness may cost his life. With King Yong's personality, how could he put himself in such a dangerous situation?

"It's almost September, Princess Yong is about to give birth, will he use this as an excuse?"

Fang Ruxuan guessed softly.

Chu Yuan shook his head, "If he doesn't want to go, he will definitely find another way, but this method is not very appropriate. If he really uses it, not to mention the father, even the courtiers will look down on him."

What's the use of a woman giving birth and a man guarding her?Even though King Yong's mansion does not have a son-in-law now, this birth is very important, but it is insignificant to the people in dry areas who can't even guarantee food and clothing but face raids from bandits. If King Yong uses this as an excuse, he will surely become a laughing stock.

"If King Yong doesn't go..."

With a face full of struggles, Chu Yuan finally didn't want to hide Fang Ruxuan, and said frankly: "Xuan'er, if King Yong doesn't go, I want to ask for orders to go to the drought-stricken area, please forgive me, okay?"

When Fang Ruxuan was diagnosed as pregnant, Chu Yuan went to Tongzhou, and this trip lasted nearly three months.

When she came back, she was not around from time to time, but now, Fang Ruxuan's body became more and more cumbersome, and it was the most critical moment, Chu Yuan always blamed herself for thinking about it.

Fang Ruxuan comforted him with a smile, "It is a blessing for all the people of Yao Kingdom to have a prince who cares about the people like you. Naturally, I will be a virtuous princess. Don't worry, if King Yong doesn't go, you can just go to King Father Ask for your life in front of me, I will not stop you."

As she spoke, Fang Ruxuan lowered her head and patted her belly, "The child will understand you too."

"Xuan'er..."

Heartbroken, Chu Yuan held Fang Ruxuan's hand tightly, feeling that there were thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't speak them.

Back in the inner hall, Fang Ruxuan said softly: "The child was only born in November, I think, by then, you will come back anyway, so you just need to make sure that you are safe and sound, where are you going? I'm not stopping you."

Chu Yuan nodded, but said hopefully: "Maybe, we underestimated King Yong. Maybe he will gladly take orders to go to the drought-stricken area."

It would be great if King Yong could go, but unfortunately, Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan still overestimated him.

Before King Yao's edict was promulgated, the steward of Prince Yong's Mansion handed over a sign, begging the Imperial Hospital to send two doctors who are good at orthopedics to Prince Yong's Mansion.

When King Yong was sparring with his lieutenant in the barracks, the horse under his crotch stepped on the ground, and King Yong was thrown off the horse, and his arms and legs were injured in many places.
