Chapter 113 A night of disputes
Pei Wei knew how to turn his back on others at certain moments. For example, at this moment, when he looked at the chaos in the palace, he immediately accused Wang Shu, who was following behind him in a hurry:
"How does the queen manage the harem? How can such a person serve Yin Meiren personally?"

He completely forgot that he thought Wang Shu was enough to take care of pregnant concubines before.

Wang Shu looked at the palace people who were kneeling on the ground in a panic when Pei Wei came in. To be honest, these people were not arranged by her - she entered the palace at the same time as the other concubines, even though they had the phoenix seal, But it's not worth it to arrange manpower for other concubines.

But facing Pei Wei's dissatisfaction, she couldn't refute anything, she just apologized for her sake.

Pei Wei said this, but didn't mention Wang Shu's replacement, and hurried into the inner hall to visit Yin Meiren.

As soon as Yin Meiren saw Pei Wei, the tears that had been rolling down started to fall again, and her expression showed infinite grievance and forbearance.

If she were a caring man, she would probably hold her hand and comfort her, but Pei Wei had no intention of paying attention to her. All his attention at the moment was on his son.

"Imperial doctor, what is going on? Is something wrong with my son?"

The old doctor knelt down and saluted before answering:

"Your Majesty, Yin Meiren is only experiencing physical discomfort caused by excessive emotional fluctuations. There is nothing serious at the moment. But if Yin Meiren is left emotionally unstable for a long time, it will inevitably affect the fetus."

He can also be regarded as an imperial physician who has been in the palace for decades, and in view of the special ecological model of the harem, he is deeply involved in women's diseases, especially the medical theory from pregnancy to childbirth.

Therefore, I have seen many concubines whose fetuses were unstable or even miscarried due to mood, foreign objects, or poisonous substances. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yin Meiren's condition is the mildest.

It's just that the current emperor got married too late, making this child too precious.

The old doctor also saw that Yin Meiren was a bit pretentious, and she didn't know what kind of request she wanted to take the opportunity to make.

He didn't want to get involved, so he kept his words open for Yin Meiren to take advantage of the opportunity.If she continues to feel bad because she failed to achieve her goal and ultimately leads to miscarriage, it is not his fault.

"Why are you in a bad mood? I'm afraid it's because these servants don't serve you wholeheartedly that makes the beauty sad? Come—"

"His Majesty,"

Wang Shu had been listening to the conversation between the imperial physician and Pei Wei before, but she didn't speak. Now she heard that Pei Wei wanted to anger the dozens of people in the palace, so she stopped her.

Wang Shu tactfully advised:

"You should still listen to Yin Meiren's thoughts. If you rush to replace the palace people she is familiar with, it will be even more detrimental to her raising a baby."

Yin Meiren was also supported from the couch to sit up, and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, what the Empress said is right. They served them with all their heart and never angered me. The concubine was a little sad because of other things, but now she has figured it out. There is really no need to mobilize people like this."

Pei Wei sat aside and asked:

"Whatever it is, just tell me and I will solve it for you."

When Wang Shu saw that Yin Meiren was still reluctant to speak, she knew that she didn't want to hear her, so she said goodbye to Pei Wei and took the imperial doctor out with her.

"Doctor Wang, now that the palace is full, only Yin Meiren is pregnant. I will entrust her to you and ensure that she will give birth to your majesty's heir smoothly."

Wang Shu took the imperial physician out of the inner hall, and then told him.

"Yes, Queen, Yin Meiren's pregnancy is actually in good shape. She is in good health and is at the right age for childbirth. As long as there are no major twists and turns, the birth can still go smoothly."

Physician Wang became a little more real when he spoke to Wang Shu, showing all his cards.

Wang Shu felt relieved. The emperor's first child, especially if it did not come from her belly, had better be delivered smoothly.

Wang Shu bid farewell to Imperial Physician Wang, and did not enter Yin Meiren's inner palace again, and turned to go back to her own palace. Unexpectedly, while walking on the road, she met Li Xiafu who was walking on the palace road with an exquisite jade rabbit palace lantern.

Li Xiafu was originally a bit older than Wang Shu, and the blood of the general family made her naturally tall and tall, and after a few months in the palace, she gradually revealed a bit of slim and graceful style.

Compared with Wang Shu's rather indifferent and reserved appearance, Li Xiafu liked Pei Wei more, and she was undoubtedly quite unwilling to seize the opportunity to become the first candidate to conceive.

In fact, the Li family didn't care much about this. Duke Cheng Guo saw it very clearly. By sending his granddaughter into the palace and standing there, it proved that their Li family Jane was in the heart of the emperor.

As for further promoting his grandson to the throne, it would be a bit risky for a family that has held military power for generations. He has not yet decided whether to take this step.

Therefore, Li Xiafu communicated with her family reluctantly, but only got a reply that allowed her to live in peace.

For the grandfather, it was enough to have a granddaughter come to the palace to make decorations, but for her, how could this be enough, she was not willing to be a decoration.

"Is the queen coming out to enjoy the moon too?"

Li Xiafu gently lifted the palace lantern and tilted her head to look. It illuminated Wang Shu's tired expression, and also Li Xiafu's plain and pretty face without makeup.

"Well, the moonlight is like water, and the moon is full like a disk. It's always good to come out and have a look."

Wang Shu didn't want to talk about Yin Meiren's physical condition, even though she guessed that Li Xiafu probably already knew about it.

Li Xiafu smiled, saluted lightly, and quickly stood up straight. The hem of the wide robe skipped across the ground, and she said:

"I'm afraid His Highness is already tired. I'd better go back and rest as soon as possible. The concubine wants to continue admiring the moon. After all, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's time for a family reunion, so it's inevitable that I will think of my family's company."

Wang Shu nodded, not caring what Li Xiafu wanted to do, and walked away.

Yin Meiren was lying in Pei Wei's arms, her hair covered with black hair scattered on his clothes embroidered with dark patterns. One hand was placed on her lower abdomen, and the other took Pei Wei's hand to touch it.

"Your Majesty, look, our child is a little older. When I think that he will come out to meet us in a few months, I can't help being happy. But, when I think about it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to look at him When I grow up, I can’t help but feel sad.”

"What is this? What do you mean you can't watch him grow up?"

Yin Meiren raised her head and looked clearly into Pei Wei's eyes:

"Why do you want to hide it from me, Your Majesty? This child is going to be raised by the queen, and the whole palace has spread the word."

She lowered her eyebrows again and continued:
"I know this is a good thing. I am from a humble background. If I give birth to a princess, I can always protect it. If I give birth to a prince,"

Yin Meiren thought of the emperor's life experience that her father had mentioned before she entered the palace, and continued to say pointedly:
"If you were a prince, with a mother like me, I'm afraid even the maids and servants would be able to bully him."

Pei Wei's face suddenly darkened. He didn't think that Yin Meiren meant to mention this kind of thing, he just thought that someone was chewing her tongue.

How could his eldest son, his only son at present, end up like this?

Yin Meiren seemed unaware and continued:
"It's actually a good thing for the empress to raise her. The empress is noble and dignified, so she will definitely protect the prince. Besides, the empress is kind. She has been taking good care of her ministers and concubines these days, so she must also take good care of the prince."

"Okay, stop talking. This kind of thing is not what you should think about. The most important thing is to take good care of the fetus and not hurt my son."

However, Pei Wei did not promise to promote her status or give her father a promotion as Yin Meiren expected. Instead, she could not hide her anger and walked away.

Pei Wei quickly walked out of the somewhat remote palace where Yin Meiren was staying, only feeling bored, and seeing the obedient servant behind her, she was even more unhappy.

This kind of person has always been like this. He always has nice words to say, but once he gets angry, they dare not persuade him. He is not as eloquent as before.

He thought of what Yin Meiren said just now, and couldn't help but think of the past when he was bullied by his servants when he was young.

When Pei Wei looked at the chamberlain who had been following him for more than two years, he felt even more disgusting. If he was not the emperor, how could he follow him?

Pei Wei stood still and suddenly kicked him. After knocking the opponent down, he was very angry. He raised his foot and kicked hard a few more times. While doing so, he asked:

"Tell me, would you bully an unfavored prince? Have you ever done such a thing? Why do you do such a thing? Ah? Why bully me? You are slaves, why should you bully me!"

If Pei Wei had the intention to take the opportunity to vent his anger at the beginning, later he inevitably had some feelings of questioning the servants on behalf of his childhood self.

When he was tired from kicking, he laughed breathlessly, turned around and left without looking at the people on the ground.

What he didn't notice was that there were two figures standing behind the flower tree not far away. One was Li Xiafu who came out to admire the moon, and the other was her maid.

The maid was already a little bit scared by the sudden change. As a slave, it is easier for her to empathize with her. Zhao's servant is already the pinnacle of slaves in the palace. She is a person close to the emperor, but she will still be treated as an object of anger... …

Li Xiafu glanced at Chambermaid Zhao on the ground and said to the maid behind her:

"You go find two people, help him up and send him back, and find him some ointment. Don't worry about anything else. He has offended His Majesty. We interfere too much and can easily be implicated."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiafu lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked quickly to the place she guessed Pei Wei might pass by.

Wang Shu has returned to her palace and is writing a letter to Wang Yin.

She was grateful that her grandfather had prepared so many generous gifts for her, but she also felt sorry for her grandpa, who had always been unrestrained, to worry about these things. She felt ashamed and hurt, and couldn't help but shed tears when she wrote.

At this time, someone hurried in and said a few words in Wang Shu's ear.

"Why did your Majesty suddenly... no matter what the servant Zhao did wrong? The country has national laws and the palace has palace rules. The king of a country should not resort to lynching and beat people like this."

"Your Majesty, be careful. How can your Majesty do it? How can you comment on it?"

The older woman beside Wang Shu said.

She is Wang Shu's nanny. She was originally a well-educated and sensible daughter-in-law specially chosen by Wang Shu's mother-in-law for her daughter. She can not only take care of the young Wang Shu, but also do things for her.Therefore, to this day, Wang Shu still takes the nanny with her.

Wang Shu was silent, thinking about what Li Xiafu had said to her.

Li Xiafu's helping Zhao's servant is doing good, and it is her responsibility as a concubine not to fight against Pei Wei for Zhao's servant, and the key is to please the emperor by obedience.

But Wang Shu couldn't do this. As a queen, she was a person who wanted to stand side by side with the emperor, so she had to abide by the laws of the country and the rules of the family, and advised Pei Wei to be a wise king.

"Nanny, please send someone to Zhao Nei Shi's Concubine Hospital to find a doctor who is good at treating falls. Ask him to bring appropriate medicinal materials to diagnose Zhao Nei Shi."

"Let someone find out more about what happened. If Chamberlain Zhao is at fault, then it will be dealt with according to the palace rules. If not, then let him recover."

A lot happened that night.

Some people steal the chicken but lose the rice. For example, Yin Meiren didn't get a good rest the night after Pei Wei left. She felt her stomach hurt again the next day, but she didn't dare to call the imperial doctor like she did yesterday. In the end, she just asked the maid I took the money and went to the Tai Hospital to hire a medical lady.

There are also people who get what they want, such as Li Xiafu.She understands the truth of seeking wealth and insurance, and indeed has this ability. Pei Wei, who was coaxed into anger with a few words, was very happy, and finally followed her back to her palace.

There are also people who have suffered innocent disasters, such as Zhao Neishi.While sending doctors to see him, Wang Shu went to find out why he angered Pei Wei. After learning that he was implicated by Yin Meiren's words, she sent someone to appease him.

Zhao Neishi accepted Wang Shu's words, even though he was still worried that Pei Wei would not be persuaded by Wang Shu, he still felt a little bit at ease.

Fortunately, the godson he adopted was quite honest, even if his godfather temporarily lost power, he didn't run away, and served him respectfully.

Wang Shu's kindness and godson's filial piety could not alleviate the resentment in Chamberlain Zhao's heart. On the contrary, after knowing that he would not fall into the worst ending, he finally had the energy to bear his grudge against Yin Meiren.

Pei Wei couldn't see what Yin Meiren was playing, but Zhao's servant could clearly see it.

The more he saw clearly, the more he hated her for interfering with others for his own benefit, causing him to almost be beaten to death.He remembered this grudge.

A long night passed, and the next day after the court meeting was over, Wang Yin sent a gift-giving team, and Pei Peng sent a gift-giving team, and then they came to the gate of the palace to ask someone to deliver a letter, begging to see the emperor.

Pei Wei was curious about whether the Wang family really wanted to adopt Yin Mei's child under the empress' knees, so Wang Yin's people begged to see him, and Pei Peng's people and gifts accompanied him.

He simply met him together.

The gifts Wang Yin prepared for me were quite satisfactory.The most was given to Pei Wei to congratulate him on having a son; there was also some to Wang Shu, which was a grandfather's wish; to Yin Meiren were some Taizhou local specialty cloths, as well as pens, inks, paper and inkstones for the children.

It's not heavy, it can be said to be a courtesy gift.Pei Wei understood at a glance, what the rest of the Wang family thought was hard to say, Wang Yin really didn't want to snatch the child.

Pei Wei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He still wanted his eldest son to have an origin as the queen's adopted son. It would be better if the Wang family could regard him as their grandson.

But Wang Yin didn't mean it, and Yin Meiren was sad about it. Pei Wei didn't do anything. He thanked Wang Yin for the gift and let him go.

Then he came to see the congratulatory gift from Pei Peng.
