Li and Palace inside. [Fengyun Network.]
Jiang Xi leaned against the bed, stroking her belly, with a soft and happy glow on her face. She smiled at the emperor beside her: "Being able to conceive the emperor's child, I am truly delighted. Does Your Majesty hope for a prince or a princess? I hope it is a prince, one who will be as great and powerful as Your Majesty..."
The emperor seemed distracted, as if he hadn't heard what she was saying at all.
Jiang Xi saw him and involuntarily shouted: "Your Majesty."
The emperor finally came back to his senses, "uh" a sound, asked: "What did the talent just say?"
Jiang Xi pretended to be angry, turned her head away and said, "Nothing."
She was expecting the emperor to coax her a bit, after all she was pregnant and had the right to be a little spoiled.
But the Emperor stood up from his stool and said: "Since nothing is wrong, I will leave first. You take good care of your pregnancy, if you need anything, just tell the palace staff."
Jiang turned back, looking at the emperor in disbelief: "Your Majesty is leaving already, can't you stay and accompany your subject a bit longer?"
He just came for a short while, is there a needle on the stool? This makes him eager to leave.
The Emperor said: "If you want someone to accompany you, find He Meiren to keep you company and chat with you. I see that the two of you are usually on good terms. I have something else to attend to." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
The Jiang clan hastily grasped his hand, looking at him with a somewhat hesitant expression, but seeing the impatience on his face, she finally spoke up: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite my family members to come and see me."
The emperor paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will tell the empress." After finishing speaking, he brushed aside his own hand and turned around to walk out of the palace.
Next to him, Wang Gonggong hastily shouted "Start the sedan chair", and then the eunuchs stood up one after another, following the emperor out.
After the emperor left, Jiang Xi was so angry that he threw a pillow on the bed to the ground and ordered the palace maid: "Go out and see which direction the emperor went."
The palace maid replied with a "yes" and then left.
After a while, he came back from outside and carefully said to Jiang Shi: "It seems to have gone in the direction of Changkung Palace."
Changkun Palace Changkun Palace, what is it that makes the empress inside unable to let go.
She thought she was pregnant and he should be delighted about it, would make him contact her more often, but the result is still like this.
When the Emperor entered Changkun Palace, Lin Daiyu was holding a book and instructing Mu Qing: "...send the list of Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to Liu Shangju, remember to let them set up a seat for Mrs. Zhao in the front row of Changkun Palace."
The emperor mentioned Zhao Lin several times, and the crown prince also attached great importance to him. It seems that Zhao Lin is about to be heavily used. As the empress, she naturally had to follow the emperor's footsteps and show some kindness to Zhao Lin's mother as well. Moreover, due to some stupid things done by Lin Yu, Lin Dai felt guilty towards both Zhao Lin and his wife.
Madam Zhao used to be a servant, and it's not easy for her to be accepted by the noble ladies. To them, she is just an extra chair in Changkun Palace, but for Madam Zhao, this can help her open up social connections in the capital city and expand the Zhao family's network of relationships.
The emperor came in without letting the palace staff make an announcement, waving his hand and entering directly. But Lin Xiao still keenly heard his footsteps, turned around, and smiled: "Your Majesty coming to Changkun Palace now is more and more fond of playing surprise attacks, not even letting the palace staff notify a word."
Said as he walked over, slightly bent his knees.
Mu Qing and others also knelt down.
The emperor took her hand and asked as they walked in: "What were you just doing?"
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Making a list for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner."
The emperor showed no interest in this and asked no more questions.
Lin Xiao asked with a hint of curiosity: "Your Majesty has just come from Jiang Cairen's palace, hasn't he? Is Jiang Cairen's body better now?"
The emperor, however, did not want to talk about Jiang Caiping today and changed the subject: "Your father's brother should have arrived in the northwest by now, shouldn't he?"
Lin Dai nodded and said, "Just this morning, I received a letter from them saying that as soon as they returned, they encountered a small group of Hu people invading the border. They even fought with them, and my youngest brother-in-law went too."
The emperor sighed: "You Lin family have a bloodthirsty nature, brave and good at fighting."
This is extremely high praise.
Lin Yan smiled and said: "It's all because of the emperor's wisdom, heroes choose a wise lord, because there is this wise lord, the Lin family has the opportunity to exert their blood nature."
This is a flattering but also serious statement, in terms of military power, the emperor can be said to have given the Lin family the greatest trust.
The emperor gently patted her head, smiled slightly, and then leaned back on the couch.
Lin Xiao wanted to get up, but the Emperor held her hand and said, "Sit with me for a while."
Lin Daiyu carefully looked at him and asked with some surprise, "Your Majesty, what's wrong today? I thought you'd be delighted to know that Jiang Cairen is pregnant."
But looking at his appearance, it doesn't seem like he's happy.
The emperor did not speak.
When he first heard that Jiang was pregnant, he was more surprised than happy, and instead felt a kind of inexplicable loss.
Lin He quietly leaned forward, resting against the Emperor's body, hugging his waist and asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong today? Tell me... let me tease you into a good mood."
The emperor placed his hand on her waist and paused for a moment before saying, "It's always good to have two more children in the palace."
Lin was stunned for a while before she realized he was responding to her previous sentence "thinking that the emperor would be happy if he knew Jiang Cairen was pregnant".
The emperor put his hand on her belly and touched it gently, expecting that one day there would be a child in here too.
He was also a bit strange. Although he came to Changkun Palace the most, Jiangshi got it right on her first try, but she didn't make any noise at all.
Lin Xiao was touched by him and moved slightly in his arms, smiling and saying: "Your Majesty, it's ticklish."
The emperor heard this and removed his hand from her belly, then grasped her hand and pressed several times on her wrist on the ground, finding her pulse, and surprisingly, he took her pulse in a regular manner.
Lin Xiang took a smile and said: "I didn't expect the emperor would also know medical skills."
The emperor murmured: "I have been fond of reading medical books since I was a child and have some knowledge of the art of Qibo."
Does he really understand medicine?
Lin Xiao thought of the medicine she had taken and immediately tensed up, her hands struggling, wanting to pull back.
"The Emperor said: 'Don't move, if you move I won't allow it.'"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have the imperial physician take my pulse every month." Meaning to say, it's really not necessary for you to take it yourself.
The emperor didn't speak, his hand still pressed against her pulse, his expression serious. After a while, he suddenly furrowed his brow again, his expression becoming stern, causing Lin Xiang to become even more tense, thinking that he had discovered something.
The emperor put down her hand and said seriously: "You have a weak spleen and stomach, and your blood is not enough. You should let the imperial physician help you adjust it."
Lin Yan: "......"
After being diagnosed for half a day, it was diagnosed as "spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness"? Hehe, the medical skills are really amazing.
Lin Yan said: "No need, Mu Ye understands medicine, and every day she takes care of me."
She can rest assured that the imperial physician's medical skills won't detect anything, but she is also worried that the imperial physician might not detect anything either.
The emperor said: "How much medical skill can a palace maid have? Don't be a quack and harm people's good."
Lin Xinyi said, but you are more clever than this emperor, at least others didn't diagnose a "spleen and stomach deficiency cold".
