Chapter 264

Zhuang Youyi was stunned and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "My memory has decreased a lot recently. I always don't remember what you said to me."

Linlang pushed her arm with worried eyes. "Empress. Do you still have a shadow in your heart when you saw minjieyu's body that day?"

"How can I forget such a miserable scene?" Zhuang Youyi lowered her eyes. "I'm afraid the emperor has sent minjieyu's head to Prince Chun. I don't know how heartache he will feel when he sees his lover's body."

"Empress, don't think about Prince Chun. After all, this is the Penglai hall where empress lives. Minjieyu has lived here for so long, and the emperor's accountability will come to empress's head." Linlang swallowed and said earnestly, "empress. We have to think of a perfect idea to protect ourselves."

Zhuang Youyi sighed faintly. "My father has just retired from the battlefield. He is already covered with pain. He doesn't allow me to go out of the palace to take care of him. The last big tree that protects me will collapse."

Linlang bited her lips and said, "madam, don't think about going out of the palace. If the general has something wrong, she will become the target of public criticism outside the palace."

"I also know," Zhuang Youyi's eyes darkened. "But it will fall on me sooner or later. I just ask the emperor to keep me a whole body so that I can go to see my father completely."

"Don't be so pessimistic, madam," Lin Lang hurriedly comforted. "The Emperor didn't ask about her. She shouldn't mess up first. Besides, isn't the last big tree protecting her still standing in the palace?"

Zhuang Youyi frowned, "who, who can protect me?"

"It's the emperor. Since the emperor took you into the palace, he is naturally the most comprehensive person who can protect you," Lin Lang said word by word. "The empress just needs to push everything on Min Jieyu, and then... Be the emperor's concubine." she swallowed and stole to see her expression.

Zhuang Youyi didn't quite understand, and asked, "minjieyu's thing is to protect herself, but what's the meaning of being a good concubine? I'm not the emperor's concubine."

"Empress..." Lin Lang showed her earnest expression, "Rufei has just lost her child, and the sincere talent is not liked by the emperor. The instrument talent hasn't served the bed since Shen Jieyu left, while the German princess is old, and there is only one liang Jieyu around the emperor. It's the best time for her to come forward at this time."

Zhuang Youyi's heart stagnated and quickly waved her hand. "How is it possible? I never wanted to be his... His woman." she argued hastily, and her face was half white.

"Empress, you can't stand the brand of general Zhuang's daughter alone," said Lin Lang with tears in her eyes. "Do you remember the time when you admired your family army? If the emperor turns over one day, we don't have any backers, the situation will be very miserable. If you become the emperor's concubine and give birth to a man and a woman for the emperor, at least you have chips in your hands."

"But I don't like him," Zhuang Youyi said embarrassedly, "and I don't want my future children to become chips for life."

"Empress, don't pay attention to these details any more. Now it's the most important to protect your life. Prince Chun did an evil plot to usurp the throne in the northeast. If someone sent by the imperial court caught him, he would be sentenced to death."

Zhuang Youyi frowned and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. "Stop it. It's not a small thing. I want to think about it myself."

Seeing that her face was not good, Linlang didn't dare to force her too hard, so she had to sigh: "my mother has spent too much time and energy on Prince Chun. I don't know if Prince Chun will be grateful to her if he breaks the Imperial City in the future."

"I don't need his gratitude," said Zhuang Youyi, pursing her lips. "I just have a clear conscience."

Across a curtain, the imperial doctor wrapped a red thread around his fingers, carefully took his pulse and led it to the red thread in the curtain. He couldn't help but brighten his eyes, got up and knelt on the ground, said happily: "old minister, congratulations to the emperor, Liang Jieyu is happy."

Meng Qianzhong stood up excitedly and said anxiously, "is it true that Liang Jieyu will be happy so soon?"

"Yes, the old minister has been practicing medicine for many years, and there will be no mistakes. Liang Jieyu has been pregnant for more than a month."

The people inside the curtain also looked very happy. There was a beautiful laugh like a silver bell, faintly through the cloth curtain embroidered with auspicious patterns.

"I also believe in your medical skills," Meng Qianzhong winked at Chen Wanqian. "Jieyu is happy. The whole people in Yanyi palace have a lot of rewards. Chen Wanqian, go to the interior office to get something."

The whole palace immediately became jubilant. All the palace ladies knelt down and shouted, "congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress."

Song Erhuai lifted the curtain on one side, and the smile on his lips grew stronger. He slowly came over and snuggled up to him. "Emperor, my concubine used to watch Princess jou Chia play in the yard and wanted to give the emperor a beautiful little princess. I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Meng Qianchong's eyes and eyebrows were smiling. His eyes were as gentle as water. He stopped the waist of Aifei with both hands and said with a soft smile: "I also dreamed last night that a good big red fruit was born on the big locust tree in Yanyi palace. When I wanted to come, I thought it was a auspicious omen of the imperial palace. I didn't expect it was related to my children."

Song Erhuai smiled. "Emperor, my concubines think this auspicious omen is also related to the outside of the palace. The locust trees in Yanyi Palace are planted in the northeast. I'm afraid it means something. It's also a auspicious omen to cut off the rebels for the great Qi."

Meng Qianchong thought about it in his heart, and was even more delighted. He reached out and touched her stomach and said, "I think the fruit is of great significance. As soon as Princess Ai reminded me, it still has such a wonderful meaning."

"My concubines are also thinking of Daqi," song Erhuai said with a smile. "I hope the emperor won't laugh at my childishness."

"How can it be? My concubine is also kind-hearted. You want me to be happy," Meng Qianzhong kissed her side face. "Did she just say you want a beautiful princess?"

Song Erhuai's cheeks were flushed. He looked at him with shame and timidity. His eyes were bright. "My concubine wants a princess. Does the emperor want it?"

"I like all the children of concubine AI," Meng Qianzhong buried his head in the nest of her neck and breathed the aroma of her hair. "There are already two princes in the palace, and jou Chia should have a little sister."

Song Erhuai put his hands around his neck and said with a smile, "then let my concubine give birth to a little princess for the emperor."

"It's still early. You've only been here for more than a month," Meng Qianzhong gently closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace. "I've only been watching you for eight months. I've been watching our children come to the world."

Song Erhuai said with a low smile, "the emperor should think about what name to choose."

Meng Qianchong trembled and stared at the locust tree outside.

Every time the German imperial concubine encounters something that makes her unhappy, her bedroom is always full of the smell of flowers. Maybe it's for the palace maids to pick it to calm her anger. Xue ronghua stopped in the corridor and sniffed the fragrance of Magnolia. He made some preparations and went in again.

"When spring comes, the Magnolias on the other side of Mengyang garden are in bloom," Luo Ninghai turned her head and looked at her. "Each flower is as big as a bowl, which is more beautiful than the lotus Princess Qi gave to the palace in summer."

"The magnolia tree was planted in Mengyang garden because of her mother's instructions," Xue ronghua smiled. "We should thank her for letting us enjoy such magnolias."

Luo Ninghai straightened the jade button on the skirt and said with a faint smile: "what the palace thinks of is not magnolia, but Shen Jieyu often played the flute to the emperor in Mengyang garden at that time. Now the man is dead, and the palace will never hear such a gentle flute again."

Regret could not stop her gloating. Xue ronghua sat quietly aside. I'm afraid she didn't know that Shen Jieyu continued to live with other people's faces.

"Yicai doesn't have much ability, just like her former leader of the palace," Luo Ninghai stared at her with a smile. "She hasn't been able since she was frightened. Liang Jieyu is good. The emperor has raised her position, and she will be a good concubine in the future."

Xue ronghua was stunned. Song Erhuai had only been a Jieyu for a few days. How could he be promoted to Jieyu so soon.

Luo Ninghai saw her doubts at a glance and pursed his lips and said, "the good concubine is pregnant for more than a month."

"I see." no wonder she was unhappy. Xue ronghua lowered his eyes. "Did the mother allow her to have children?"

"You ask this question like how bad the palace is," Luo Ninghai gave her a bad look. "The palace is not half interested in her children. Do you think the palace is angry about this?"

"The maidservant thought that the empress didn't want a good concubine to give birth to a dragon."

Luo Ninghai's eyebrows were horizontal. "The emperor had a dream the night before yesterday. He dreamed that the locust tree in Yanyi palace had a big fruit. He thought it was an auspicious omen in the palace, and then the good concubines had children."

Xue ronghua could hardly cry or laugh. It was just a coincidence. "Empress, the emperor had so many dreams. Not every dream will be meaningful."

"Don't be in a hurry to laugh. The emperor said there was another meaning of the fruit," Luo Ninghai sighed helplessly. "Another meaning is that the Northeast war is expected. General Luo can catch all the traitors and return with defeat."

"That's a good thing," Xue ronghua looked at her strangely. "Why is your mother unhappy?"

"Because the palace doesn't think it has anything to do with general Luo at all. It can be seen that the emperor doesn't pay serious attention to the life and death of the soldiers. He is all in this demon," said Luo Ning Haidun, pursing her lips. "A fruit is not a demon, but the palace is upset."

"Don't worry, madam. General Luo has been on the battlefield for many years. He is a famous young general. It's nothing to kill Prince Chun's traitors," Xue ronghua comforted in a soft language. "Madam, maybe the emperor's dream has really come true."

"His dream has come true in the belly of a good concubine," Luo Ninghai rubbed his eyebrows in a disturbed way. "Well, how can his mind be on the soldiers of the expedition? This palace is just empty concern here."

Meng Qianzhong has always been diligent, and his government affairs are not reliable at all. At this time, general Zhuang is also old, and it is difficult to have a pillar in the military. Xue ronghua's eyes flashed a strange look, "don't worry, madam. General Luo is lucky..."

"Empress," the little maid hurriedly ran in, "the emperor is coming."

Luo Ninghai stood up. "Why did the emperor come at this time? Shouldn't he be with his good concubines in Yanyi palace?"

The little maidservant trembled and said, "I don't know, but the emperor is very worried."

Xue ronghua hurried up to hold her arm and whispered, "the emperor is worried. What happened to the good concubine?"
