Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1473

Because at this stage, everyone's attention was focused on Chu Qingyan's imminent childbirth, and they didn't pay much attention to the outside affairs, and Xiao Lieqi had sent up the information earlier, but Xiao Xu was not in the mood to deal with it and put it at the bottom. Now these rumors finally reached his ears.

"Snapped--"

Xiao Xu threw those memorials on the table viciously, and the whole imperial study trembled three times.

Xiao Yao glanced at a memorial scattered on the ground, and there were a few words on it that were very eye-catching, seductive and culprit, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, these people really dare to say it.

"Third brother, what do you think?" Seeing that his imperial brother was angry, Xiao Yao couldn't help poking the people around him.

Xiao Hou frowned slightly and looked away from those memorials, then cupped his hands and said to the people seated, "This incident is a big one, and it has been widely circulated outside. It used to be that the people were making a fuss, but now even the ministers are involved. Well, the situation is not very good."

Xiao Yao snorted, "It must have been some time ago that the imperial brother rejected the courtiers' choice of concubine, and was stunned by the imperial brother's taunts. They were dissatisfied, so now they are taking this opportunity to put pressure on the imperial brother. "

Since ancient times, the emperor has been the heaven of the country, the lord who no one dares to disobey, but once the emperor deviates from the normal track and does not go in the direction expected by the courtiers, they will form a force invisible to persecute the emperor.

Now the matter of Chu Qingyan is a knife they have been dormant for a long time, and they are going to use it as a threat.

Xiao Xu rubbed his tired brows and eyes. He didn't know if the little guy was going to give birth recently. She didn't sleep well all night, and her cramps became more and more frequent. He often got up in the middle of the night to massage her For the calf, she originally wanted to sleep in a separate bed with her, and was worried that his rest would be affected because of too many things, but at this time, it was more impossible for him to let her bear the pain alone.Even if it is hard for a while, so what?
It's just that this kind of thing happened again at such a critical moment, he really has the heart to kill.

It's not that he has any influence on the court, but he is worried that the little guy will affect his body because of these things. Kong Ling has already said that during this period, it is best not to let her have any mood swings, otherwise it will lead to difficulties in giving birth.

"Third brother, go and find out who is behind the scenes!" Xiao Xu's voice was as cold as ice.

Xiao Hou responded immediately, "Your brother obeys the order."

"No matter what, don't let your sister-in-law know about this matter. You must keep your mouth shut and don't leak any rumors."

Facing the imperial brother's exhortation, the two finally realized the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that the people behind this were not targeting the court as simply as the court.

The two responded with serious expressions.

"It seems that we should not hang out in front of the emperor's sister-in-law these two days, just to be on the safe side!" Xiao Yao covered his mouth with self-knowledge.

Xiao Hou glanced at him, "It seems that's right."

Harem, Yanxu Palace.

Chu Qingyan was half lying on the bed with a lazy expression.

Originally, her belly was not that big. At that time, Da Bingcuo was still worried about whether she would give birth to a baby the size of a kitten. Unexpectedly, since three months ago, her belly began to swell like a balloon When she woke up, she seemed to be carrying a big ball in her arms, and her body was getting heavier and heavier. She once suspected that the baby was struggling with the big ice cube.

Didn't you say I'm a kitten?I'll show you!A chubby baby rolled his eyes with his waist thrust forward, moaning and chirping.

After she made up the picture in her brain, she couldn't help laughing at herself.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Xining immediately asked someone to bring fresh fruits, which were cut into small pieces and inserted with toothpicks for her convenience.

After the fruit plate was served, Xining ordered the imperial dining room to bring up the warm soup.

Now Xining seems to have become the most powerful maid in the entire harem, because there is only her master in the harem.

The former concubines of Emperor Xixuan have basically been sent out. Even if they stay in the palace to die, they will not come to find a sense of existence in front of Chu Qingyan, who is loved by three thousand people and who is all in one. Retire in the palace.

And Empress Liang has stayed behind closed doors since the Liang family's affairs got her wish, presumably because she didn't want to hinder her son and daughter-in-law's eyes.

Although Chu Qingyan wants to take charge of the entire harem, but now the harem is sparsely populated, she doesn't have to bother to manage it at all, and in addition she is pregnant, Xiao Xu will not be willing to let her work hard.

"Xining, you girl, you didn't see that I have become so fat, and you still want to give me nourishment."

Xi Ning knew that her master was just looking for fun, and she was willing to be said a few words by her master, and then began to repeat those few words, "Master, you also know that the little master is about to be born, you want to eat more Get something, gather some strength, and then the delivery will go smoothly, isn't this what Master Kong Ling told you?"

As he spoke, Xining innocently wiped away the non-existent tears in the corners of his eyes, as if his good intentions were not rewarded.

"Your servant knows that what you say has no weight. When His Majesty comes back, he will say three words more than your servant. Then you should wait for His Majesty to come back and preach to you!"

Chu Qingyan laughed, "You girl, you know how to block me with such words! Cheng Chengcheng, can I still eat it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Ning graciously handed over the toothpick, Chu Qingyan couldn't help but shook her head amusedly, "It's only been a few months, and you are so eloquent, let's see if Jinxin can stand you in the future!"

"He dares!" Xining snorted.

Chu Qingyan's eyes brightened slightly, it seemed that before she knew it, the relationship between the couple had taken a qualitative leap!
"Master, don't worry, your appearance and figure have not changed at all because of this, and you are still so beautiful, so you can just eat!" Xi Ning said mischievously, blinking.

Chu Qingyan smiled, "You are the only one with sweet lips!"

At this time, Kong Ling walked in with a few midwives.

These midwives were selected by Xiao Xuming Kong Ling half a year ago. They were experienced women who had given birth to the official family and had been raised in the palace. Now that they are about to give birth, Kong Ling brought them here to get acquainted.

These midwives, Chu Qingyan, had seen each other before, and their faces were familiar.

At this time, Kong Ling opened the medicine box and prepared a hand pillow for daily pulse diagnosis.

And because the midwives in front of them have a noble status, if they can handle this errand well, they will have a bright future in the future, so they began to scramble to talk about the precautions during childbirth, and said some flattering words.

Chu Qingyan knew that childbirth in ancient times was like going through the gate of hell, so she listened with a sinking heart.

As we talked, we started talking about other topics.

"Your Majesty is so beautiful, the old woman is so stupid, she doesn't know how to describe it." One of the women flattered her.

Another woman continued, "Isn't it said that a smile can turn a country into a city?"

At this time, another voice sounded, "Yes, the empress is kind-hearted and beautiful, and the old woman is thinking, how can someone not have long eyes and say that the empress is charming?"

Kong Ling, who was preparing to give his little princess a pulse diagnosis, shook his hand, and was about to stop her, but it was already a step too late.

"What did you say, say it again!"
