famous eldest daughter

Chapter 718
As they were talking, dusk was approaching, and a chamberlain reported back, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui has improved slightly, and she is about to have a meal at this time."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately relaxed his frown and stood up, "Are you awake? I'll go take a look."

The chief chamberlain immediately turned around and fetched the great cloak to keep out the cold, and put it on the emperor. The soft sedan was lifted up smoothly, and with the help of the bright octagonal portable palace lantern, the group went straight to Concubine Hui's bedroom.

After banning the palace people's communication, the emperor warmed himself up in the outer room. As soon as he raised the door curtain and entered the inner room, he saw Concubine Hui taking a bowl of soup from the palace maid and raising her head to drink it.

After not seeing him for only two days, he looked haggard and haggard.

A pair of eyes that were usually lively and charming were now as red and swollen as peach. The emperor looked at her sallow face and his heart twitched, "Why are you so sick?"

Following the words, the medicine bowl that Concubine Hui brought to her lips paused. She looked towards the direction of the emperor with astonishment. When she saw the emperor, she was startled, "Why is your majesty here without even announcing it? How can I pick you up when I'm like this? You too, why don't you notify me when your Majesty is here? There's not even anyone to greet you. Since I'm sick, you've become even more unruly."

As he spoke, he pushed away the brocade quilt covering his body, and struggled to get down to the ground to kneel down to greet the holy driver. I don’t know if it was because his hands were not steady or something, but he moved his legs off the bed. Before his feet even landed on the ground, he raised his hands to hold his forehead. , the whole person fell forward.

The emperor's eyelids jumped in fright, and he immediately stepped forward, caught her firmly, and picked her up in a hug. He was sweating from the shock, "I didn't let them report it, because I was afraid that you would get up again because of my coming. "Welcome, I'm sick, so I don't have the energy to do anything, but look, I still fell."

Put Concubine Hui on the bed firmly, the emperor looked her up and down, "But where is the injury? Lie down quickly, I will let the imperial doctor come and have a look, these bastards have not cured your illness for two days .”

Concubine Hui shook her head shyly, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I'm fine. It's just that I was overly sad and grieved and had low energy. I fainted just now. Firstly, I was a little dizzy because of the sudden onset. Secondly, I also Because I haven't eaten or drank in the past few days, my hands and feet are weak, so I can't blame the imperial doctor. If the imperial doctor knew that His Majesty was angry about this, he would be wronged and cry."

Watching Concubine Hui speak, the emperor knew that she was indeed fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's why they are useless."

Concubine Hui did not answer His Majesty's request. She no longer struggled to salute. She supported the bed with one hand, moved her body, leaned on the big pillow behind her, and asked, "Your Majesty is here at this time, but you have had dinner?"

The emperor shook his head, "Not yet."

"My concubine here, because of my illness, there are only some light porridge and side dishes, and the only non-vegetarian food is a sour bamboo shoot and ham soup, which really has no taste. Your Majesty, why don't you go to Concubine Tong first? She is pregnant and has a little baby." The food in the kitchen is also exquisite..."

"I have just arrived, and you have to drive me away!" The emperor gave Concubine Hui an angry look and spoke like a child having a tantrum. He kicked his feet, took off his shoes, put his legs up and got on the bed, "Where am I?" You’re not going either. Since you’re awake, I’ll be right here with you. White porridge, side dishes, pickled bamboo shoots and ham soup, it sounds pretty good to me.”

Several palace maids stood on one side, covering their faces with handkerchiefs and smiling slightly.

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned to the maid in charge and said, "Tell the kitchenette to give me another bowl of your shredded chicken wontons, sprinkle with some chopped green onion, don't put too much sesame oil, and just a little chili pepper."

Concubine Hui burst out laughing as she listened. The emperor looked away and looked at Concubine Hui, "What are you laughing at?"

"I am listening to His Majesty's instructions. No matter how I listen, I feel that it is Yu'er who is talking. Don't put too much sesame oil and just a little chili pepper. That's not what Yu'er says all the time." Concubine Hui said with a smile on her lips.

The emperor sighed slowly, "When it comes to chicken soup wontons, the chefs in the imperial kitchen have been cooking for a lifetime, but they are not as good as Yu'er's craftsmanship. It's a pity that this brat married a daughter-in-law and forgot about his father, so he didn't make it for me for a long time. I ate wontons, but I was too embarrassed to mention it to him, so you hinted at him that day?"

The emperor intended to make Concubine Hui happy, so how could Concubine Hui not know it and cooperated: "Then what benefits will your Majesty give me?"

The emperor pretended to think and said: "Ask Yu'er to make wontons for me. I will take you to the Xishan Tangchi to soak in the hot springs the day after tomorrow. Yu'er personally supervised the work and became a crab eater. He said it is very comfortable."

Concubine Hui listened without moving even a little, a flash of light flashed through her eyes, she let out a breath and said: "Your Majesty is kind, I thank you for your kindness, it's just... It's just that in my brother's family, people with white hair give away people with black hair, concubine... My concubine is really..."

While speaking, tears welled up in her reddened eyes, and she hurriedly wiped them off with a handkerchief, "Your concubine is rude."

"I just want to take you to relax because I know you are depressed. Your illness may be cured. Yu'er also said that she will take Gu Yuqing with you. If you don't go, She has gone without a companion, and when the time comes, Gu Yuqing will have a bad time, and Yu'er will have a bad time with me." In order to persuade Concubine Hui, the emperor tried his best to put on a pitiful look, "You too You know, I really have a headache when Yu'er starts acting up, who can afford to offend that little ancestor?"

"Gu Yuqing is also going? That is the soup pool used by the royal family. Although she has a different status, she has not been married yet. It would be against the rules to take her there!" Concubine Hui frowned.

The emperor sighed, "There are no rules in front of your son. Anyway, I can only agree. If you have the ability, you might as well persuade him not to take Gu Yuqing with him."

When Concubine Hui heard this, her mouth trembled and she looked at the Emperor with embarrassment.

The emperor laughed immediately, took Concubine Hui into his arms, lowered his head and pecked her forehead where her hair was scattered, "Okay, as long as the child is happy, whatever is in line with the rules, I have already granted the marriage to Gu Yuqing. She is a legitimate member of the royal family, so she will go naturally, so don’t worry about these things."

Putting her body against the emperor's chest, Concubine Hui nodded slightly, "I'll take a look at my body. If my body bones can hold up, I'll go. If you don't believe it, I'm afraid you will still live up to your majesty's favor. But one thing, since your majesty wants to take Yu'er with you." Instead of going together, why not take the prince and princess in the palace with you so that the children can be happy."

The emperor stretched out his hand and scratched Concubine Hui's nose, "You are so kind-hearted!"

Concubine Hui ignored the emperor and continued: "There is also Concubine Tong. She was pregnant. She complained to the concubines during those days, saying that her belly was too heavy and her legs hurt from the pressure. Your Majesty, why don't you take her with you?"

The emperor listened and couldn't help laughing and said: "Let me take Concubine Tong with me. Firstly, your good sister can go and relax. Secondly, if you are afraid that you won't be able to go, you can also let her keep an eye on me for you, so that I don't miss her." Human, huh? You are a little calculating, but your calculations are getting better and better."

After hearing this, Concubine Hui immediately sat upright from the emperor's arms and glared at him angrily, "Is this my concubine such a stingy person?"
