Long Harem Road

Chapter 46

The third prince's three banquets were well organized, but Concubine Wei's status was there. She was also a healthy prince, a member of the imperial family, and the imperial court's order was full of courtesy.

The auspicious time was in the morning, I heard the voices of people outside, it was very lively, the emperor and the empress dowager all attended on time, which gave Concubine Wei enough face, and loved the third prince very much, the rewards were like flowing water.

Baozhu didn't participate, she held her stomach excitedly, paced back and forth in the inner room, and was finally going to see her mother.

After the banquet, Mother Ji was sent by the emperor's servant to Cuiluxuan in person, and she got a lot of red eyes along the way.

"Mother." Huanxi directly led him into the inner room, retreated to guard the door, Baozhu supported his stomach, and walked up quickly.

Mother Ji was startled when she saw her daughter walking quickly with a big belly, "Be careful, I'm going to be a mother, why are you still so careless, and be careful not to hurt the child.", hurried forward to support her , and helped her lean on the bed.

Baozhu stuck out her tongue with a blushing face, and said coquettishly, "Mother, how can you be so delicate? My daughter plays sports every day. You know that you care about the baby, and you don't feel sorry for her anymore."

"Let's just say you're still a child, and you're jealous of the child in your belly." Mother Ji secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her hand to touch Baozhu's belly, but felt that her identity was wrong, so she put it down in embarrassment , smiled and said, "How is it? Are you still good?"

"Mother, my daughter is fine." Baozhu grabbed Mother Ji's hand and put it on her belly, "Baby, say hello to grandma, be good." Don't let go.

"I heard that you are pregnant, and your family is very happy. Just when you were about to pass the sign to enter the palace, you heard that you were grounded. Mother's heart rose to her throat. Later, she received a message from you saying that it was all right. rest assured.

Who knows, something happened later, your father said that the news was unknown, he was afraid of getting you into trouble, so he didn't dare to hand over the sign to visit, mother was worried, and finally got the news that you were fine. "Mother Ji said, tears falling down uncontrollably.

"Mother, don't you think my daughter is doing well? She has gained a lot of weight. You see, my daughter is very worried." Baozhu pinched the flesh on her face and laughed to make Ji's mother happy.

"Don't talk nonsense, good health is the most important thing." Mother Ji shook her head and said, "My mother is worried about my son traveling thousands of miles. You really don't want to let mother rest assured. What's going on? Your father can't find out the news, and you just let me When someone sends a word, the letter disappears.”

Baozhu straightened her face, and explained the matter concisely. Although she said it plainly, Mother Ji felt the danger inside, her face paled again, and hurriedly pulled Baozhu, "Fortunately, my son is blessed with great life, and the Bodhisattva blesses you." .

Why are these people so vicious, they want your life. ", Mother Ji said bitterly, wishing to rush out and swallow the queen and others alive.

"Mother, isn't my daughter all right now? Mother doesn't need to worry. The purpose of my daughter's meeting with her mother this time is to tell her the truth about this matter.

The empress suffered a lot this time, although not all because of her daughter, but because of her daughter, the empress will definitely not let it go.The Li family has stood in the imperial court for a hundred years, with over ten thousand disciples, an intricate network of relationships, and an empress dowager in charge.

Although he didn't dare to blatantly harm his father and brother in the court, it was hard to guarantee that he would not use tricks behind his back, especially when the second brother was still on the battlefield, mother must go home and remind father to be careful. "

Baozhu cautiously reminded, and Ji's mother nodded cautiously, "Don't worry, daughter doesn't have to worry about things outside, mother will definitely tell your father.

You don't have to think too much, worrying too much is not good for the fetus. The most important thing for you now is to raise the fetus with peace of mind and give birth to a healthy prince. "Mother Ji spoke earnestly, and Baozhu nodded in response.

"The emperor can't be contemptuous, understand? Mother sees that the emperor has some affection for you. Don't let yourself be distracted for a while, and be provoked by others to do something bad."

Ji's mother thought of the three princes being killed today, and the importance of the emperor and queen mother, and reminded Baozhu that she didn't want her daughter to do anything that she would regret.

Baozhu couldn't laugh or cry, why did everyone think she would be sad, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter understands very well and won't do unnecessary things. My daughter is surrounded by the emperor's people, so don't worry."

"That's good. The empress must ensure her own safety in this palace, so that the family can feel at ease."

"Well, my daughter understands. By the way, when will my sister-in-law be born?" The month of my sister-in-law is about the same as that of Concubine Wei, so it should be soon.

"Soon, it will be the end of this month." Speaking of sister-in-law, Mother Ji finally had a smile on her face.

When Ji's mother left, Baozhu was reluctant to leave, and gave a lot of medicinal materials rewarded by the emperor to Ji's mother to take away, and told her sister-in-law to inform her when she gave birth, so she let her go with tears in her eyes.

The emperor inquired about Concubine Li Mingzhong's situation, and learned that Baozhu felt a little depressed after seeing her mother, worried that she would be emotionally hurt and hurt her body, so he arranged to go to Cuiluxuan, and had dinner with Baozhu.

Good news came from the south again. The Nanluo Kingdom was defeated and wanted to surrender.

The emperor became more and more busy. He went to court every day, summoned the ministers, and dealt with government affairs. The time spent in the harem became shorter and shorter. Afterwards, the annual royal ancestor worship, the emperor was even more busy.

The other concubines in the harem began a new round of open and covert struggles for the number of places to go out to sacrifice.

In the end, beyond everyone's expectations, the emperor ordered two low-status, duty-bound imperial maids to accompany him, and the people in the harem who were full of chicken blood and ready to do a big fight died down.

In the middle of May, Baozhu's birthday, she herself had forgotten this date after entering the palace, but fortunately she remembered it early in the morning with joy and joy.

During the special period, the emperor was not in the palace, no one would remember a concubine's birthday, Baozhu didn't announce it, Huanxi cooked the kitchen herself, made a bowl of longevity noodles, it was a simple birthday.

At the end of May, Ji Xi's wife gave birth to the second golden grandson of the Ji family. Baozhu was overjoyed, and rewarded a large amount of medicinal materials and cloth to Ji's mansion.

The mild and comfortable May has come to an end without a sound, and the turbulent June can't wait to come, and the air is starting to become hotter. In the blink of an eye, Baozhu has entered the palace for a year.

Last year she was a lively and pleasant little girl. This year she is a young woman with a big belly. Baozhu caressed her rounder belly and smiled at herself. There is a sense of vicissitudes in the wasted time.

The baby in her stomach is six months old, Baozhu's abdomen is more prominent, her waist is obviously thicker, and she is full of charm. She began to feel powerless, and her back hurt after standing for a while. Appetite is getting better and better.

At this time, the cousin Ma Leling, who has been a transparent person in the harem for a long time, has been keeping a low profile since Concubine Ma was grounded. Finally, she no longer keeps a low profile. Like a powerful dark horse that suddenly appeared, she announced her return in a high-profile manner. .

On June [-]th, Father Sun suddenly launched an attack without warning. The scorching sun baked the earth, and the bluestone board seemed to be steaming, roasting everyone.

Except for Baozhu and Concubine Wei who was in confinement, the queen led all the concubines to gather outside the palace gate, anxiously welcoming the emperor to return from offering sacrifices to the ancestors. After a while, they were already sweating profusely, and their delicate makeup had lost color.

The emperor's guard of honor came late, and the concubines in the harem saluted respectfully. They followed the guard of honor and returned to the palace. When everyone was thinking about how to seduce the emperor, they kept following behind the team. The silent Ma Meiren suddenly passed out.

The emperor frowned and did not speak. The empress secretly twisted the brocade handkerchief, without showing any signs of expression, and called the accompanying imperial doctor with concern to make a diagnosis.

Everyone gloated over other people's misfortune, and keenly felt that Ma Meiren had violated the emperor's taboo, and was afraid that she would be buried in the snow forever. There was a thunder on the ground, and the imperial doctor's words made everyone's thoughts fall into the mortal world.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Beauty Ma is a month and a half pregnant!"

All the people froze on the spot, envious and jealous, just like the smudged makeup, showing up one after another.

The emperor didn't pay too much attention to the surprise that came suddenly, he gave a symbolic reward, sent someone to send Ma Meiren back, and returned directly to Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs, this move eased the complex expressions of the concubines a little Some.

Ma Meiren knew that the situation was weak, and after the surprise, she cautiously shrank in the Zhongcui Palace behind closed doors, presuming that she was unwell, and declined visitors. No matter how jealous the other concubines in the harem were, they had no choice but to give up.

The emperor stepped into the Cuilu Pavilion again, and it has been a month since the last time. Seeing the pregnant woman with a big belly, the expression of joy and surprise because of his arrival, the smile in his eyes couldn't stop overflowing, a little There was a radiant look on his tired face.

Lean down, lie on your stomach and listen.

"Baby, I am the father, do you think the father is there?" Baozhu looked at all this, and it would be hypocritical to say that she was not moved.

She did not expect that on the first night of the emperor's return to the palace, he would arrive at the Cuiluxuan. In this palace, there is a conscientious queen, the third prince who is about to be full moon, and the beautiful woman Ma who has just been diagnosed with pregnancy. Let her here.

Now the other people in the harem have to regard themselves as a thorn in their side. There are too many lice and it doesn't itch. Fortunately, in this Cui Lu Xuan, idlers are not allowed to get close, otherwise they will be drowned in jealousy.

Early the next morning, Zhao Zhen kissed the little girl who was still sleeping soundly, got up on tiptoe, and went to morning refreshed.

The people of Cuilvxuan are in good spirits on happy occasions, the emperor stayed at the master's side on the first day after returning to the palace, it shows how favored the master is, naturally he takes things seriously again.
