Work overtime

Chapter 762

"Your Majesty's analogy is really interesting. Do they know that mother sees them this way?" Rui Zhaoyi burst into laughter. "The nine sons of the dragon are all different. It means different personalities. Not humble or arrogant refers to an attitude towards life, not a personality. Not humble means not being humble to those in higher positions, and not arrogant means not being arrogant to those in lower positions. The five children have different personalities, but the emperor and the queen have taught them well, and they are all neither humble nor arrogant."

After listening to this, Jiang Yuebai said happily, "Reward! Master!"

"You are amazing. I admit you are worthy of the word 'wise'," said Concubine Lu with a smile. "Just now I didn't accept your self-proclaimed great god, but now I do!"

The poor student Yuan Xipin had starry eyes, "Sister Rui, I admire you so much. I really want to let you teach my child. I will definitely not be humble or overbearing."

Rui Zhaoyi said hurriedly, "No, no, no, no, you will definitely teach well if you teach yourself. I am just a storyteller. I can talk nicely, but I can't do it myself."

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, "You are welcome to come and give me more guidance on parenting."

Suddenly, Concubine Lu said, "My Lady, you should not let Concubine Sun take care of your child."

"Why?" Jiang Yuebai put down his chopsticks and listened to Concubine Lu carefully.

Kunning Palace is different from other palaces. Since ancient times, only the queen can live there. So since Jiang Yuebai moved to Kunning Palace last May, Concubine Sun has lived alone in the nearby Qingya Pavilion. She goes there to help look after the children during the day and goes back after dinner. It's like hiring an aunt.

"Because this is human nature," Rui Zhaoyi said slowly, "In the beginning, Concubine Sun will be grateful for being able to see the emperor more often. Later, she will resent you for not giving her opportunities. People's hearts are always full of desires. If there is meat in front of you every day but you can't eat it, you will feel uncomfortable."

As he said this, he picked up the meat and put it into his mouth.

Rui Zhaoyi's elegant dirty jokes made everyone laugh.

Jiang Yuebai also had the same idea.

Ever since playing Landlord on New Year's Eve, Concubine Sun has changed. The girl who used to be very gentle and kind has become complicated. She was still deceiving herself before, but now that the two little sisters have exposed her, she has made a decision immediately.

She also instantly understood her subconscious choice. She did not really regard Concubine Sun as her own. Concubine Sun seemed to be the same kind of person as her, but in fact she was not.

But before she had time to go back, someone came to report that Concubine Hua had beaten Concubine Qin for "disobeying a higher-ranking concubine" and punished her to kneel in the hot sun in the yard.

"Your Majesty, this is a lesson for us." Rui Zhaoyi looked deeply concerned.

After Concubine Hua fell ill last time, Li Beichen appeased Concubine Hua by favoring Concubine Qin. He planned to let Concubine Qin give birth to a child and raise it with Concubine Hua, so that Concubine Hua would have someone to rely on.

At first, Hua Fei thought it would be nice if Concubine Qin's child was raised by her. But later, she waited anxiously for the emperor to come, but in the end, the emperor was intercepted and welcomed to the neighboring house with laughter and joy. How could she not feel uncomfortable?

Jiang Yuebai thought about it, put down her chopsticks and was about to stand up. Concubine Lu quickly stopped her, "Madam, don't worry about the lawsuit between them. This is their internal palace affairs. Concubine Qin is a person with her own ideas, and she is not easy to control."

Jiang Yuebai didn't listen to the advice and stood up, "Let's go take a look."

Concubine Lu stood up and said, "Alas, your majesty, this is your fate of worrying. You are still pregnant with the prince. Don't go. I will go and take a look for you."

Three pregnant women, plus a quiet lady named Wu who quietly passed handkerchiefs and spoons to everyone to scoop up the bottom of the pot. If she didn't go to work, who would?

Anyway, the emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering her to assist the queen in handling harem affairs. Even if her position is not as high as Concubine Hua's, the authority here is always useful.

When Jiang Yuebai was halfway there, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, Miss Qin was kneeling under the sun and felt dizzy and wanted to go in, but Concubine Hua would not let her and beat her to death."

Jiang Yuebai frowned, "Have you sent someone to tell the emperor?"

How could a life be lost in just a moment of hesitation?

"I have asked Fu Zi to run over and report the news." The eunuch was already quite old, and the wrinkles on his face were deeper.

Concubine Lu supported Jiang Yuebai and said, "Don't be anxious, Empress. You have to take care of yourself. Let the Emperor decide. No one who fights against the Empress will have a good ending. Besides, the Emperor has asked the gods to cure her, so there must not be many human means. Empress, you should learn from history and think twice." The eunuch next to her twitched his mouth when he heard this. Concubine Lu was too bold. If it were an ordinary person, he would be dragged out and beheaded.

Jiang Yuebai understood and cooperated with Concubine Lu tacitly. She stroked her belly and slowly sat down, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable. Quick, call the imperial physician!"

Concubine Lu said to the old eunuch who was standing there stupidly, "Go quickly, what are you still standing there for? Call the imperial physician, go and call the imperial physician! Don't delay any longer."

"Yes, I'll go right away, right away!" The old eunuch immediately came to his senses, the opportunity for promotion and salary increase had come. He immediately ran away desperately.

While running, he also encouraged Jiang Yuebai, "Quick, go get the imperial physician. The queen is having a miscarriage!"

When the emperor and the imperial physician arrived, the pots and other things had already been put away. Jiang Yuebai was lying in the side hall of Jingren Palace, her face pale and her eyes full of tears.

"Queen, how are you?" Li Beichen asked anxiously.

"I am fine," Jiang Yuebai smiled softly and fragilely, then asked anxiously, "I just heard about Concubine Hua's sister. I was so anxious that I had a stomachache and was unable to go to see her. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's nothing serious."

Li Beichen pulled up Jiang Yuebai's hand that had touched the ice, "Why are your hands so cold?"

"I'm worried about Sister Hua Fei." Jiang Yuebai said with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry about her." Li Beichen's voice was a little deep. He hugged Jiang Yuebai into his arms, "I am more worried about you."

Jiang Yuebai leaned on Li Beichen's chest and drew circles on his chest with her fingers, "Your Majesty is so good to me."

Li Beichen grabbed her finger and put it in his mouth and sucked it.

Jiang Yuebai didn't react for a moment. Could it be that there was a smell of hot pot on his fingers, and the emperor smelled it?

Li Beichen raised his eyes and said to Liang Xiaobao, "Bury Qin properly. Concubine Hua's emotional illness has become more serious. Go to the Imperial Hospital to invite an imperial physician for her. No one is allowed to visit her without my order."

Liang Xiaobao received the order and retreated.

Jiang Yuebai felt that Concubine Hua was actually quite pitiful. Ever since she insisted on saying that Concubine Wu had an affair with the young and handsome imperial physician, she was destined to be "driven crazy". In fact, she dared to publicly announce that the emperor was cheated on. Her brain was already kicked by a donkey, so it was not an exaggeration to say that she was crazy.

After Li Beichen dismissed everyone, he climbed onto the bed, lay down next to Jiang Yuebai, and closed his eyes, "I'm so tired."

Jiang Yuebai turned around and hugged Li Beichen in his arms, letting him rest his head on his arm. He hugged him like the third prince, "I know, you should get some sleep."

Just like the first favor given to Concubine Hua during the Chinese New Year, it was not really for anything, but an honor given to Ye Xiang and her, to show that she valued him. But she insisted on going to bed, ruining her health and destroying the little affection she had left with the emperor.

But from her perspective, such a request is not wrong, because if you don't seize this opportunity, you don't know where the next one will be.

forget it.

Li Beichen felt a sense of peace in Jiang Yuebai's arms, and he quickly fell into a coma. Soon he heard the palace servant come to report that Concubine Hua was crying and making a fuss, insisting on seeing the emperor, and refused to let the imperial physician feel her pulse, let alone take medicine.

Jiang Yuebai quietly stood up and took Lichun and the guards with him.

"Let's go and have a look."
