Is the emperor cremated today?

Chapter 65 Rumors
At the beginning of Yinshi, the sky was still dark, and only a few palaces were lit with lights. However, the lights all the way outside Fengyi Palace next to Taiji Palace were never extinguished, because the emperor welcomed the imperial concubine into the palace and stayed in Fengyi. The people in the palace were all curious about how charming this imperial concubine was, so much so that the emperor, who had never been around women all year round, could dote on her alone.

It's a pity that Concubine Xu has been in frail health since entering the palace and rarely leaves Fengyi Palace. Even if she comes in and out occasionally, she only goes to Tai Chi Palace and returns to Fengyi Palace within a short time. Most of the time, the emperor comes in person. Fengyi Palace came to see the imperial concubine, so there were gradually more rumors about the imperial concubine. Some said that the imperial concubine was beautiful and could charm a whole country, but her temperament was gentle, dignified and easy to get along with. Others said that the imperial concubine was aloof and jealous, and loved to use tricks. It was a trick of lust and lust that charmed His Majesty into favoring only her. From then on, the imperial concubine gained the title of a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country.

Xiao Qi woke up when he heard Zhu Weng's wake-up call through the window. He turned his head and looked at Xu Miaoyin, who was sleeping with her back to him. He pulled the quilt up to cover her shoulders and back, and gently He made a move and got out of bed and walked out of the dormitory, heading towards the West Nuan Pavilion. Zhu Weng had already prepared a set of toiletries with his waiter, waiting for Xiao Qi to freshen up.

Xiao Qi finished washing up and was waiting for Zhu Weng to put on court clothes with his eyes closed and open arms. He was also thinking about the major events in the court in recent days. There seemed to be ships always being attacked by pirates along the southeast coast, but the current garrison was not good at water. The war was about to begin, and winter was about to begin. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs had to come up with a plan for the material reserves of the border officers, as well as the taxation of Jiangnan and other tedious matters. Thousands of complicated matters were filled in my mind, but I suddenly smelled a familiar smell. The warm fragrance.

Xiao Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Miaoyin dressing him in court clothes. His brows, which were frowning just now, were now smiling. He was looking at her with a smile on his lips.

Xu Miaoyin glanced at him, saw the smile on his face as he looked at her, and said helplessly: "Reach out your hand."

Xiao Qi obediently stretched out his hands to put on both sleeves, waiting for her to continue dressing him. He liked to see her busy for him.

Xu Miaoyin helped him get dressed and said, "Why don't you wake me up?"

"Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't want to wake you up."

Xu Miaoyin helped him get dressed, took the belt from Zhu Weng and put it on for him. Xiao Qi also raised his hands in cooperation and looked down at her as she hugged him and helped him tie the belt at the back. When it was tied, Xu Miaoyin As soon as Miaoyin took her hand away from his waist, Xiao Qi took her hand and pulled him into his arms.

Zhu Wengxin took everyone out and gently closed the door.

Xu Miaoyin looked at Zhu Weng who was exiting, pressed against Xiao Qi's leaning chest, and struggled slightly, "Your Majesty, stop making trouble, the time is coming."

Xiao Qi didn't pay attention to her slight struggle. He still held her in his arms with his lips curled up, and kissed her ear.

"You are not in good health. You don't have to get up so early to serve me in the future. I told you that you don't need to care about the rules in the palace. No one dares to say anything."

What he said didn't matter, but with so many people in the palace watching, who can really do whatever they want? Otherwise, how did those rumors come about?
Xu Miaoyin gave him a light hammer and said angrily: "If your Majesty is so free as you say, then the impeachment memorial will not always be kept on your court."

Xiao Qi said domineeringly: "You don't have to worry about that. If I can't even protect my own woman, I won't be the emperor for nothing."

Xu Miaoyin looked at the dragon pattern on his clothes, a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes, and then her peach blossom eyes looked at Xiao Qi with a smile, she hooked his belt and approached him actively, her moist red lips spoke as if He seemed to be touching his chin, and said with a clear breath: "Then your Majesty also thinks that I am a demon concubine?"

Xiao Qi didn't know if she was a demon concubine. He only knew that the woman in front of him who specially seduced him was like a demon, making him unable to extricate himself.

Xiao Qi's dark eyes darkened a little more. He held her in his arms and wanted to eat the lips that were so close, but he heard her giggle.

"It seems that His Majesty's determination is no more than this."

Xiao Qi was not annoyed at being laughed at, but seeing her smiling proudly and not wanting to let her go just like that, he sucked on her neck and didn't let her go until he heard her cry out in pain.

"There's a lot going on today, no need to wait for me to have lunch."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking with a smile, he turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion to go out to the palace. For a moment, he only heard Zhu Weng's voice exclaiming, "Your Majesty, it's cold, you'd better put on your big cloak! Oh, Your Majesty, wait for me, old slave..." "Xu Miaoyin covered the painful place where he sucked her just now and smiled slightly. Yu Qiao put a cloak made of fox fur on Xu Miaoyin's body, and naturally saw the smile on her face.

"Mother, be careful of catching a cold."

Yu Qiao helped Xu Miaoyin turn back to the dormitory, but Xu Miaoyin suddenly stopped and frowned slightly, "Yu Qiao, help me go to the clean room."

Yu Qiao calculated the time and found that it was indeed Xu Miaoyin's menstrual time. The time was accurate, but every time she would be in pain and unable to get out of bed.

After placing Xu Miaoyin on the bed, she sent someone to the imperial doctor's office to get medicine. After drinking the medicine, she saw Xu Miaoyin relaxed slightly and fell asleep.

Yu Qiao looked at the weak Xu Miaoyin and murmured in her heart. Except for the five years since the empress left, and the fact that His Majesty still loved the empress in Yangzhou, she should have been pregnant long ago, but why has there been no movement so far? nothing?

Yu Qiao was worried about Xu Miaoyin, but she had no one to talk to, so she could only keep her worries in her heart.

Xu Miaoyin woke up after only half an hour of sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yu Qiao's eyes looking at her with sadness, and asked, "What happened? Why are you looking so miserable?"

Yu Qiao glanced at the palace attendants who were guarding the door with their heads down, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's ask your Majesty to find someone to nurse you back. It's not an option for you to feel so uncomfortable every time. It's not easy to get pregnant this way. !”

Xu Miaoyin was a little surprised that Yuqiao, a girl who was not married to Yunying, would mention this to her, and with Yuqiao's character, she would definitely not think of this.

Xu Miaoyin thought for a while and asked, "But has my aunt ever asked about this matter?"

Yu Qiao raised her eyes and saw that although Xu Miaoyin's face was pale, she was not displeased, so she said truthfully: "Mrs. Chen warned me and the fourth maid before you entered the palace, and asked us to pay more attention, saying that you are the only one in His Majesty's harem. One, it’s best to get pregnant now to secure your position in the harem. Mrs. Chen also said that it won’t be long before someone in the court will definitely ask your majesty to admit another person into the palace. Who will your majesty’s favor be given to at that time? These are all uncertain things, so I asked my servant to pay more attention to your body."

Xu Miaoyin touched her lower abdomen, lowering her eyes and feeling a little sad. His and her children had been conceived here, but there would no longer be any.

Seeing that her words seemed to make Xu Miaoyin feel uncomfortable, Yu Qiao said anxiously: "Girl, don't feel bad. His Majesty has only been in love with you for so many years and will definitely not admit anyone else into the palace. When do you want to You can get pregnant whenever you want."

Obviously Yu Qiao misunderstood what she was thinking, but she didn't want to explain too much. Seeing that Yu Qiao was so anxious that she even used her old name at that time, she said: "Yu Qiao, I'm a little tired, I want to take a nap."

Yu Qiao saw that Xu Miaoyin was really weak, so she tucked her quilt properly. Seeing that she closed her eyes, Yu Qiao quietly left the bedroom. But as soon as she lifted the curtain and went out, she heard something outside. There seemed to be some noise, so he frowned and walked out quickly.

"What are you yelling about? If it disturbs the queen to rest, none of you can afford it!"

After some harsh words, everyone outside the palace became silent, which also made the boy standing by, whose arm was being grabbed, even more abrupt.

I saw him looking at the palace attendant holding him with a raised eyebrow, breathing heavily, not sure whether he was tired or angry.
