farmer's husband

Chapter 450 It's just a test
"Why?" An Fei's bright eyes suddenly darkened.

"No reason, I will go on my own career, I don't need my sister to beg for an official position for me, you just need to take care of yourself now." Chai Dong said quietly.

"You really think so?" Concubine An said softly, "But you have to know that you are only a seventh-rank official now, and you don't know how long it will take you to climb up step by step. Not to mention, with your current status, you can't just come into the palace to meet me. We have been separated for many years, and we are finally reunited now. Ever since I became pregnant, I suddenly miss my relatives more and more, almost every night I dream I dreamed of my parents, and your brothers. In my dream, you were only a little older, and you smiled at me in the swaddling baby, laughing so hard that my heart melted! But when I woke up, I realized that my father Mother and the others are gone, I only have you as my relative in this world. At that time, I went crazy and wanted to see you, do you understand how I feel?"

At the end, her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, she looked so pitiful.

I have to say, Concubine An is really blessed by God.Although she is in her 30s, but now she frowns and tears, and looks like a girl, no wonder the emperor likes her so much.

Seeing this, Chai Dong was also a little moved.

However, he only hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "That doesn't work either. There are many shortcuts in this world that you can take, but there are also many that you can't take. Now this one can't. The reason, sister, you should understand in your heart."

"Don't you think about it any more? This is the emperor's own promise!" Concubine An bit her lips and looked at her fixedly.

Chai Dong shook his head without thinking this time. "no."

"Alright then!" Concubine An sighed helplessly, but immediately burst out laughing again.

Chai Dong frowned. "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, my sister is happy for you." Concubine An looked at him again with a smile, "When the emperor said this, I also refused. I also told him clearly that you can't agree. But the emperor will not believe it. I'll try you. I have no choice but to try."

Chai Dong's expression darkened immediately.

"So you were just trying to test me?"

Concubine An's smiling face froze, she blinked again, and looked at Chai Dong pitifully: "Little brother, are you angry with me? Indeed, sister shouldn't test you like this. My sister is wrong. My sister apologizes to you. Don't fight with me." Is my sister angry?"

Faced with her cautious expression, even if Chai Dong is full of anger, how can he express it?
Now he can only turn his head away: "From now on, don't do this kind of thing! I said at the beginning that I will climb up step by step with my own ability, and I will not follow in the footsteps of my father!"

Concubine An's eyes flashed, she nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, sister knows. I will definitely tell the emperor what you said later, don't be angry now, okay? Brother, seeing you are unhappy, sister feels very uncomfortable, I can hardly breathe coming!"

She clutched her chest, looking like she was about to cry.

Chai Dong couldn't bear to be angry at all.

"I'm not angry with you. It's just that you don't want to do this kind of thing again in the future." He said in a low voice, then stepped aside and winked at Chun Zhi, "Didn't you say you have a gift for your sister?" ?”

"Oh, yes." Chunzhi quickly came over with the fox fur in his hands, "This is the red fox we hunted in the village. The skin has just been peeled off and dried for a few days. Sister, you can use it to make a scarf or something! Take it as our gift to you."

"This leather is really beautiful!" Concubine An happily took it.But as soon as she turned her head, she handed the leather to the maid at the bedside, without even looking at it herself.

Chunzhi lowered his eyes.

Concubine An is pregnant and old, so her physical condition is not very good now.Chai Dong and Chun Zhi stayed for a short while, said a few words with her, and then left under the hint of the court lady.

When going out this time, Chai Dong's expression became a little ugly.

"Sanggong, what's the matter?" Chunzhi asked in a low voice.

"Sister, she... has become a little different." Chai Dong whispered.

She was always like this, okay?It's just that I didn't show it in front of you before.Chun Zhi said quietly in his heart.

Anyway, in her eyes, Concubine An has always been like this.It's just that since she got the grace, she has become more arrogant and bold.

Chai Dong was still whispering to her in his heart: "She seems to stretch her hands too far now. She shouldn't meddle in official affairs."

But she just intervened, and the emperor followed her lead, so what can they do?
Harue still didn't say anything.

Chai Dong sighed again. "I'll talk to King Liang later, let him persuade my sister! She has just been favored, and her position in the palace is still not stable. What is she doing outside the matter at this time? This is not to blame others. Send it by hand? She still thinks there are fewer people in the palace waiting to catch her wrong?"

Hey, after talking for a long time, he thought so much only because of Chu Yu's consideration of her safety.

Chunzhi was secretly thankful that she didn't talk too much.

Fortunately, that's what Chai Dong said.Later, he just conveyed the words to Liang Wang, and then he didn't care about it.

Concubine An seems to have listened to it, and she really didn't mention those things in the next few days, and just cared about raising the baby with peace of mind.The emperor and empress dowager were very satisfied with her sensibility and rewarded her a lot.

Because of her pregnancy, Concubine An was favored even more than before.The emperor would go to her almost every other day.Even if you don't stay overnight, sit down and talk to her.Although everyone understood that the emperor mainly looked at her belly, after all, the child in her womb was the key to the emperor's self-certification that he was still healthy and strong, and he would not allow any mistakes in this child.

It's just that a mother is more expensive than a child, so naturally people in the palace began to scramble to curry favor with Concubine An.Coupled with the empress quietly helping the flames, Concubine An's momentum in the harem is about to catch up with that of the imperial concubine!

Fortunately, she has always been low-key and obedient, no matter in front of the queen or the imperial concubine, she is very obedient and obedient, never causing trouble.

Chai Dong outside the palace is also doing his best to do his best. Although Liang Wang works in the Ministry of Industry, he has not made much achievements.After all, he and Concubine Liang have more important things to do now, and that is to seek a child!
Especially Concubine An, who is a mother-in-law, is already pregnant, and Princess Liang, a daughter-in-law who has been married for more than a year, has yet to give birth. Not only Princess Liang is anxious, but King Liang is also anxious, and Princess Liang's natal family is even more anxious.

In the days that followed, the couple kept seeing the doctor, taking medicine, and kowtow to the Bodhisattva in the temple to pray for a child.But after a few months, they spent a lot of money and energy, but Princess Liang's belly just didn't get bigger.

By this time, Chun Zhi's stomach was already distended, and she was due to give birth in another month.

As for Concubine An in the palace, her belly began to swell rapidly in the third month, and in four or five months, she was already as big as Chun Zhi in seven or eight months!
After the imperial doctor saw it, she said that there was a high possibility of twins in her belly.The emperor was even more delighted, and rewarded her continuously every day, and went to sit in her bedroom from time to time.She is in the limelight in the palace now.

In comparison, Princess Liang's life is even more difficult.

Every time Chun Zhi sees her, she finds that she has lost weight again, and in the end she is almost skinny.Chun Zhi also once advised her not to worry, Princess Liang smiled wryly: "I don't want to be in a hurry either, but everyone around me is in a hurry, can I not be in a hurry? Even now, some people are persuading me to take a concubine for the prince."

Here comes another person who wants to take a concubine because he won't be able to have a child for a while.

Chunzhi's heart sank. "What about King Liang? What's he thinking?"

"Of course he doesn't agree, but is it useful?" Concubine Liang smiled lightly, "As a prince, he is always ridiculed by me. Now that I haven't announced the good news for a long time, I think he is also very anxious." No, the complexion is getting uglier these days. Now I have entrusted my mother to help choose a few girls who are good to have children, and as long as they are pregnant, I will give them a title."

"As for this?" Chun Zhi heard, her whole heart became heavy.

"As for it!" Concubine Liang pulled the corners of her lips reluctantly again, "Little aunt, don't try to persuade me anymore. This is my fate, I have already accepted it. I have been able to monopolize the prince for a year and a half, and I have been favored by him for such a long time." , I am already content, really!"

After this time, there were indeed newcomers in Prince Liang's mansion.Then, Concubine Liang didn't come out for a long time.

Because of this matter, Chunzhi has secretly sighed with Chaidong many times.

"You said that this young couple is fine, so why did they get into trouble again? She was pregnant last year!"

"Maybe, someone doesn't want them to conceive?" Chai Dong suddenly blurted out after hearing this.
