Resourceful beauty

Chapter 251

"Sister Fangpin, what's the matter?"

Coming out of Fengming Palace, Concubine Fang was a little dazed, she didn't even hear someone calling her around.

Turning his head away, it was the Ming nobleman who entered the palace together in the draft and is now still the nobleman.

"Sister Ming..."

Greeting with a smile, Concubine Fang shook her head and said, "Sister Lao is worried, I'm fine."

Walking forward side by side, the two chatted as usual, greeted the little prince, knowing that everything is fine now, Ming Gui said enviously: "With the little prince, my sister will feel at ease in the future. There are too many. In the future, my sister Qingyun will go straight up, so please remember to support my sister."

Concubine Fang smiled wryly, "Sister, stop joking."

These days, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the big weddings of the two princes, although no one has said that the little prince is inauspicious, but the day of his birth is not very auspicious, and there may be twists and turns in the future. , not to mention, that was not his own child.

The pain in Concubine Fang's heart cannot be expressed to others, every time she sees that child, she thinks of her own child even more, and in less than two months, she has already lost a little weight.

Master Ming knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly changed to talking about the excitement in Fengming Palace just now.

Turning around and looking around, there was no one else around except the maidservants who followed each other. The nobleman said in a low voice, "Sister Fang, have you heard about it? Even the imperial physician diagnosed the baby of Princess Yong as a girl. Why? Now that it was born, it is a boy? I don’t know if it’s because the imperial physician made a mistake, or because Princess Yong is lucky.”

With her heart pounding, Concubine Fang smiled and said, "Concubine Yong is a blessed person. Isn't it natural that she gave birth to a son-in-law now? Perhaps the imperial doctor misunderstood it."

Ming Gui curled his lips and didn't say anything else, the two of them chatted with each other and gradually moved away.

Back at Lanyue Pavilion, when she heard the child crying, Concubine Fang couldn't help frowning, and the next moment, thinking that her son might be crying like this, Concubine Fang could not bear to order: "Take the baby The prince hugs..."

The baby was swaddled into her arms, and the crying of the child had gradually weakened. When Concubine Fang gently shook her a few times, the little guy had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed, and there were still two crystal clear teardrops hanging on her cheeks.

I don't know where my child is now, and who is taking care of it.

Could the child named Chu Xingzhong in Yongwang Mansion be...

Thinking absently, Concubine Fang actually had some unspeakable expectations in her heart.

Carefully handing the swaddle back to the wet nurse, Concubine Fang softly instructed: "Take care of it carefully."

The nurse backed away, and Concubine Fang called Liushang, and said in a low voice: "In a moment, you go to the House of Internal Affairs to help me get some pearl powder, and by the way, send him a message."

This is something that Liuzhang has always done, Liuzhang nodded in response, turned around and went out.

In the afternoon, the eldest princess Chu Xiu entered the palace and went straight to Fengming Palace.

"How about it, Queen Mother, I'll say that method is effective, right? If Princess Yong's birth doesn't use the method of yin-yang transformation, it's sure to be another girl."

Smiling triumphantly, Chu Xiu had an expression of asking for credit.

Queen Zhou smiled, and asked instead: "I've gone to Prince Yong's Mansion, have you seen that child?"

For so many years, she regarded King Yong as her own. Although there was no blood relationship, Queen Zhou was still very happy when she heard that King Yong's mansion was finally established, as if the child was her grandson.

Chu Xiu nodded, then shook her head again, "I went, but I only saw King Yong, but not the child. King Yong said that the child was born a few days earlier and was a little weak. The doctor said it was better." I will be raising it, so I didn’t take it out and show it to me.”

Earlier, I sent Fang Shanggong to visit Prince Yong's Mansion, and what I brought back also said that Princess Yong was due to give birth in mid-September. Now that she was born a few days earlier, it doesn't matter, but after all, it is King Yong's first child. Son, it's okay for him to be so careful.

Queen Zhou smiled, and at the same time ordered Fang Shanggong to prepare some supplements and send them to King Yong's Mansion.

Looking back, he asked again: "Where is King Yong? He was injured a few days ago, and he will be recuperating for a few days. Will he be better?"

Chu Xiu nodded, "It's much better, but I can't walk too fast, and I still have a little limp."

"Then let him live well..."

Queen Zhou said softly.

Because of the birth of the eldest son of Prince Yong's mansion, King Yong's injury was gradually forgotten. Even King Yao, whose gloomy face had been gloomy since Chu Yuan left, also improved a little.

In Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan got up after taking a nap, and heard laughter in the courtyard.

He got up and opened the window, and saw Dexi climbing on the ladder, as if he was thrusting something into the palace gate, outside the gate, a few maids in the palace were pointing and laughing.

When she looked away, Fang Ruxuan found that there were clusters of dogwoods planted on the pillars in the yard, and the dark red fruits were full of joy under the sunlight.

Fang Ruxuan knew that this must be another idea that Dexi came up with.

Cornus officinalis is said to ward off evil spirits. On Double Ninth Festival, most people wear sachets filled with cornel, like Dexi, planting them all over the yard. It can be seen that Lilac and others are willing, Fang Ruxuan laughed.

When she lifted the quilt and got up, she saw Mulberry coming in, and whispered back: "When I went to the House of Internal Affairs to get the cornel, I saw Qing'er. She said that Concubine Fang came out of the palace with a message and wanted to see King Yong."

The suspicion in her heart had a chance to be confirmed, Fang Ruxuan told Sangsan, "These days, keep an eye on Concubine Fang, especially when King Yong enters the palace."

Mulberry nodded yes.

For several days in a row, she didn't hear that King Yong handed over the sign to enter the palace, and when she saw Concubine Fang in Fengming Palace, Fang Ruxuan felt that there was a little more sadness in her brows.

However, those who don't know must think that she is worried about the little prince or her current situation.

And Fang Ruxuan counted the days, in mid-September, Chu Yuan had almost arrived in the dry area.

Thinking that he was going to be in a place full of bandits and hungry people, Fang Ruxuan couldn't sleep well all night, and thinking that if Chu Yuan came back and saw herself haggard, she would definitely blame herself even more, so Fang Ruxuan forced herself to comfort herself and find something to do. Don't let your imagination run wild.

Until the end of September, when Fang Ruxuan went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager Lou on this day, Fang Ruxuan unexpectedly met King Yong at the gate of Shouchang Palace.

"My brother has seen the crown princess..."

King Yong greeted Fang Ruxuan with a smile and cupped his fists.

"Is the prince in good health?"

Fang Ruxuan asked with concern.

King Yong nodded, "I have been injured for a hundred days, and the imperial doctor said that I need to take care of the general for a few more days. After a few days, I feel better, so my ministers will come to the palace to greet the Queen Mother, so that she will not worry about her."

Fang Ruxuan smiled, and the two passed each other without saying a word.

When stepping through the palace gate, Fang Ruxuan looked back again.

The back of King Yong when he was away was no different from the one he had seen before, just as tall, perhaps because of having a son, and a happy event in Prince Yong's mansion, looking at it now, there is actually a bit of proud stalwart.

Fang Ruxuan's heart couldn't help but feel a little cold: Why should Chu Yuan take the lead in going to the dry area to appease the hungry people and resist the bandits, while you can enjoy honor in Shangyang City?Why?
Xing Ping greeted the Empress Dowager Lou peacefully, and then returned to Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan asked Ding Xiang to call the kapok.

"Chu Dong, are you going to the drought-stricken area with His Highness again? Can Chu Nan go?"

Fang Ruxuan asked when Kapok entered the room.

"Chunan didn't go, and he has to respond to the news from the south, so most of the time, His Highness will not take him outside."

Kapok replied.

Nodding her head, thinking that the wind and waves are calm these days, and there is no urgent news from the dry area because of the arrival of Chu Yuan, Fang Ruxuan told Kapok, "You go to find Chu Nan, just like last time, in Shangyang City. To spread the news, you don’t need to be too convincing, as long as people know that King Yong was injured after the king sent him to fight against bandits in a dry area, that’s enough.”

Kapok soon understood what Fang Ruxuan meant.

Three people become tigers, and people's words are formidable.

It has been six or seven years since King Yong became king, but when it comes to talking about it, it seems that there is nothing worth mentioning.

The sudden appearance of Chu Yuan, and the fact that he won the position of the crown prince with a thunderous force, many people in Shangyang City may have doubts, but this time, Fang Ruxuan is determined to create momentum for Chu Yuan while attacking King Yong. Let the common people see clearly how Chu Yuan took the lead as the prince.

I don't know whether to say that Chu Nan is efficient in handling affairs, or that the power of speech is great. In just a few days, the rumors that were disturbing in Shangyang City spread to the palace.

At that time, King Yao was holding the memorial that Chu Yuan handed over from the dry area in his hand.

Although there are a large number of bandits, they are disorganized and undisciplined. What's more, some of them have no choice but to take this road because they can't fill their stomachs. After Chu Yuan arrived, he didn't rush to suppress the bandits first. The rice grain raised along the way was distributed to ensure that no one would go hungry again.

Then, Chu Yuan sent people to places where there were many rogues, and put up notices that those who were willing to give up resistance would not be punished, and they would be sent back to their places to continue farming.

Everything was not as serious as imagined. With the strong cooperation of the local government, the number of robbery cases in various places has decreased by [-]% compared to before Chu Yuan left.

If this situation continues, perhaps, Chu Yuan will be able to calm down the situation soon and return to the palace as soon as possible.

Fang Ruxuan was secretly delighted to hear Zheng Ping's reply to the news he had inquired about.

And these news made the people of Shangyang City, who were already discussing things in the drought-stricken area, discuss more lively, and King Yong, who was still recuperating behind closed doors, seemed to be on the cusp of the storm for a while, and was privately called the "Yongwang".

In the study room of King Yong's Mansion, after hearing Chang Gui's hesitant reply, King Yong's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Goodbye Chang Gui's eyes shrank a little, King Yong asked with a bad face: "What else?"

"Master, in the palace, another message has been sent from the palace. The concubine Fang wants to see you..."

Before Chang Gui finished speaking, the tea bowl in King Yong's hand was thrown out and shattered on the screen a few steps away.
