Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 169 A Rare Favoritism

Looking back on this period of time, although the two have never met, the affectionate letters Qin Yan handed to Yuming Temple made Haitang feel that he was never far away.

Looking at the figure in the distance, what came out of my heart were all the words in those letters.She read each letter over and over again, almost memorizing everything she saw.When I saw Qin Yan, these words couldn't go away, as if he was whispering in his ear.

Haitang smiled and waved to Qin Yan.

At this time, Qin Yan's heart was overwhelmed.

He stood on the curved bridge, looking at the begonias under the corridor of Yuming Hall.He couldn't see her face clearly, but he could clearly feel her smile.

He wrote so many letters and handed them to Yuming Palace, but Haitang never replied.He knew that this was Haitang's insistence.The close servants in Yuming Palace are people from the palace, but the servants are all from the palace.They all have eyes that could be the Queen Mother.

Qin Yan's letters came in one by one, but nothing came to light.But if Haitang writes a reply letter, it will be called a private exchange, and the nature is completely different.

What's more, Qin Yan has always been in control of Haitang's recent situation.What does it matter if there are no words from her?
He saw that Haitang's figure had changed a little, it was no longer the gleaming waist of the past.Suddenly feeling distressed, he quickly gestured to Haitang, signaling her not to keep standing, it would make her tired.

Haitang understood what he meant, her heart was still sweet, but for some reason, she suddenly became sour and shed tears.Fortunately, it was far away, so Qin Yan couldn't see it.

The eunuch who was following Qin Yan silently watched the two of them look at each other from a distance.After a long while, he finally said: "Your Highness, it's time to go back to the palace. The cabinet ministers are still waiting for you to discuss the river project."

This eunuch, in the past in the main hall, was considered to have a head and face, and the one with the most face has been serving in front of Emperor Zhengheng's sickbed, and this eunuch named Hua Fu was assigned to serve the new crown prince.

Qin Yan knew what Hua Fu meant. He was afraid that if he stayed for too long, someone would report to the Empress Dowager, causing serious complications.

He looked deeply at Haitang again, remembering her appearance.As if afraid that he would not be able to move his legs, he turned his head and left firmly.

He knew very well that Haitang would definitely not blame him, and would definitely understand his departure.

Today's departure is for a better reunion in the future.

Qin Yan's study in the main hall is very spacious.This study room was originally the place where Emperor Zhengheng continued to meet with his ministers after he came down to court. It has been more than two months now, and it has been temporarily governed by the former King Mu and the current Crown Prince.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Prime Minister Yuan, and several important cabinet ministers were already waiting, and several officials from the six ministries including Gu Shangshu of the Ministry of War were also present.

Mainly talking about river workers.According to the diversion proposal discussed by Qin Yan and Cui Hailin, the provinces along the river have made sufficient preparations this year. The relocation, resettlement, and resettlement, the Ministry of Households has to give money, the Ministry of Military Affairs has to give people, and the Ministry of Industry has to give plans. Very happy.

When the talk was about the same, several members of the cabinet withdrew first. They still had a lot of business to do, and only officials from the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Households and Ministry of War remained and continued to explain some details.

Qin Yan suddenly asked, "Cui Hailin, the supervisor of the Fengzhou River in the Ministry of Industry, is he going to leave Beijing in a few days?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry's heart tightened.He already knew that Cui Hailin had a great background, far from being the son of Cui Guozhen of the Imperial Academy.In the past, King Mu was just King Mu, not to be feared, but now it is different, Cui Hailin is obviously the elder brother of the crown prince's favorite concubine, this relationship is intriguing.

Immediately stepped forward and replied: "Yes, he studied in the Ministry of Industry for several months and helped a lot. Fengzhou is short of manpower, so he has to go back."

Qin Yan nodded, pretending to be casual and said: "Go to Fengzhou with another person, and leave him in the capital for another appointment."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was taken aback, but he didn't dare to ask further questions. If the prince said that he had another appointment, he must have his own ideas.Besides, Cui Hailin, a small Xiaohe supervisor, although he has made great contributions in Henan, is not considered a pivotal figure, so he can be changed if he changes.The prince made a special trip to say something, but it was a bit solemn.

In fact, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry had misunderstood the prince.Qin Yan did not intervene in this matter for the sake of his concubine, but for his own sister.

Qin Yan is also emotional, he has always been a principled person, even for Haitang, he has never made an exception in the appointment and dismissal of the Cui family, but now it is for Yongrou that he keeps Cui Hailin in Beijing.

If he knew the inside story, Cui Hailin would not only not be grateful to Yongrou, but would blame him for being troublesome.This dull man, to his duty is to really treat each other with all his heart.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry received the instructions, but there was another person present who secretly watched this scene, and this person was Gu Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Gu Shangshu is the half-father-in-law of the prince.The reason why I say half is because Gu Qiying is just a prince's side concubine, not a prince concubine.

For the Cui family, Gu Shangshu is quite jealous, and this fear is mainly due to his beloved baby daughter.

Originally sending Gu Qiying to Prince Mu's mansion was a bit of a hassle. Who knew that her daughter was born blessed, but by mistake, she was promoted from the side concubine of King Mu to the side concubine of the prince.

Especially since the Crown Princess gave birth to a young princess, the child in Gu Qiying's womb was particularly eye-catching.

Gu Shangshu didn't know how many times he thought about it.If Gu Qiying gave birth to a son, then this son would be the eldest grandson of Emperor Zhengheng and the youngest son of the Prince's Mansion.

What a heart-pounding thing this is.

He never thought that his grandson would be able to rule the world one day.

But now he can think freely, the only threat may come from the woman surnamed Cui in Yuming Palace.

If she also gave birth to a son, the situation of her grandson would be a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, when Qin Yan wanted to keep Cui Hailin in Beijing, he paid attention to it, and quickly passed the news to Gu Qiying in the East Palace.

Speaking of which, Gu Qiying's labor period is just around the corner.

In the East Palace, Yun Xihua gave birth to the little princess, who almost died half of her life. She couldn't recover after recuperating for a long time. Although the imperial physician didn't say it clearly, the Gu family had already dredged up the imperial hospital and got the most secret first-hand news: the princess It is impossible to have any more children, absolutely impossible.

Gu Qiying remained calm, while taking care of Yun Xihua with her clothes untidy, at the same time she took over the matter of serving Qin Yan.

Doing these things in the East Palace, naturally the palace will soon spread the word, even the queen mother said that the crown prince and side concubine are indeed virtuous and worthy of great responsibility.

Well, in the eyes of everyone, the prince has only one side concubine, and that is Gu Qiying.

As for Cui Haitang, she is called Yaofei, not side concubine.

Gu Qiying pretended not to hear these compliments, and did what she "wanted to do" day after day.
