Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 459
Entering February, Huan Guiren's belly is getting bigger day by day. Inside the Peony Pavilion, every day there is a crowd, and local officials from all over the country come to give gifts one after another. It is really indescribable excitement. In the incomparable joy of having a child in the middle age, he actually left the important matter of patrolling the Hulao on the west behind.

In the early morning of this day, in the Shuilong Shuren Hall of the Lishan Palace, due to the absence of the emperor, the important officials lined up at the bottom of the steps were whispering and chattering.

"Master Cheng Rong, what's the matter with the king these days? For a concubine who is pregnant with Liujia, he treats state affairs as a trifle. It will not be that the emperor dreams of being in a gentle country, and the king will not go to court early, right?" the worried cabinet minister Song Cheng Rong, who was talking and laughing freely, asked with his hands clasped.

Cheng Rong said with a pleasant smile: "Master Song, if you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing. Although your majesty has been caught in the harem these days, maybe this is also the day when the nobleman of Song will come out."

Song Yanxin knew that Cheng Rong was alluding to his daughter Song Xue, so he couldn't help but forced a smile and said, "Master Cheng, although I am also worried about my little girl, state affairs are more important. Your Majesty stayed in Lishan for more than three months. Now, is it true that Sheng Jia has to wait until Huan Guisheng gives birth to a dragon son before considering whether to go to the border or not?"

Cheng Rong said with a mysterious smile: "Sir Song, don't be impatient. As the saying goes, the bridge is naturally straight from the bow to the bow. We just need to concentrate on helping the king manage the government affairs, be meticulous, and make no mistakes."

Song Yan stared at Cheng Rong in puzzlement, unable to say a word.

"It's unreasonable. The nobleman Huan has been pregnant for more than two months. These days, she has been cheating the king to stay in her palace by acting coquettishly and foolishly. If this continues, how can the king concentrate on government affairs? Empress, Your Majesty has always only listened to you, you have to persuade your Majesty!" On this day, Concubine Ge and Concubine Jing, who were full of sorrow, pulled Mei Guiren and Song Guiren, and when they greeted Baosi, they said in unison. Bao Si complained and asked Bao Si to come forward.

Bao Si pursed her lips into a smile, quickly ordered Axi to help them up, and said slowly: "My sisters, since this palace is the middle palace, it is naturally the duty to manage the sixth palace and be a grand duke. Even though it is state affairs, this matter is caused by the harem after all, so I have to intervene, but I want to trouble my sisters, please don't provoke the king, I will make decisions and advise on everything."

Bao Si's words convinced everyone, and they all owed their respects.

"Song Guiren, although Huan Guiren is the only favorite now, but after all, she is pregnant and can't stay in bed for a long time. You have to serve the king well." Song Guiren, who had bright eyes and shyness, knew it well, and hurriedly agreed .

After everyone dispersed, Axi who was beside Baosi couldn't help asking Baosi: "My lord, it's been such a long time. If Mrs. Huan had a fake pregnancy, I'm afraid it would have been exposed, but now her belly is obviously bigger. Get up, is this true or false?"

Bao Si stared at Ah Xi and said, "This is called making a fake come true. Before, Mrs. Huan took a specially prepared progestin, which made the doctor Zhou diagnose a happy pulse. Afterwards, the king was ecstatic. He really favored Mrs. Huan every day. Then The gestational medicine worked, making Mrs. Huan really pregnant with the dragon seed, but unfortunately, both us and Imperial Physician Zhou were deceived by their tricks."

"What? My lord, this isn't just taking advantage of these villains for nothing. We won't do anything outrageous, such as ringing a nobleman's womb. If this continues, my lord will gradually be forgotten by the king." Axi He frowned.

Bao Si looked sad, looked into Axi's eyes and said, "Silly girl, after so many years, does this palace still care about the king's favor? In fact, since Jutu sacrificed at the border, my heart has been completely dead. Now, the reason why I am still alive now is to do more good things for the people I care about, so why bother about favors."
