Concubine Biography

Chapter 52

After Li Jiarong experienced a year of silence, Fuer's child undoubtedly came at a very good time. Although Li Jiarong is not the first time to be a father, but now there are many Li Jiarong who stay in the palace all day long. Lots of time to enjoy being a father to the fullest.

"Is he hungry?" Li Jiarong put down the book in his hand, turned his head slightly to look at Fu'er's slightly protruding belly.

Fu'er stopped the hand that was stuffing the apple into her mouth, and smiled helplessly, "Didn't you see that I was feeding 'him' apples?"

Li Jiarong raised his eyebrows, "Then you continue to feed."

Puchi!

Xiao Shanzi couldn't hold back, and accidentally overflowed with a teasing smirk.Fu'er raised her head, Hong Ying's usually serious face was also slightly red at this moment, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, showing that she was in a very happy mood.On the other hand, Xiao Qinzi pretended to be talking to Nanny Liu, even when he turned his back, he could still see his shoulders shaking.

"Who's just being condescending? Hurry up and pull it out to get some air." Li Jiarong flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, lying without changing his face or beating his heart.

Xiao Shanzi's face immediately collapsed, and he stood pitifully at the door blowing in the wind, looking at the room with sad eyes from time to time.

Li Jiarong likes to let his wife serve him every time he comes. Since his wife became pregnant, Hongying and Xiao Qinzi have been serving her personally.It was hard for him to get together with the masters, and he was kicked out.

Fu'er suppressed her smile and continued to eat the apple.There was a gentle breeze coming from the window, and it was really indescribably comfortable to blow on people's faces.

"Close the window." Li Jiarong looked at the window and put down the book in his hand.

Fu'er hurriedly stopped Xiao Qinzi who was about to close the window, "Don't close it, the wind is very comfortable."

"This..." Xiao Qinzi looked at the two of them in embarrassment.

Li Jiarong nodded at Xiao Qinzi, Xiao Qinzi understood, walked over and closed the window.

"You can't blow the wind now, it's easy to catch a cold." Li Jiarong said softly, and glanced at Xiao Qinzi, who immediately left the room with Hong Ying and closed the door.

Fu'er stood up and walked around the house, and said sullenly, "I've been holding it in for a long time. I'm in the house all day, and I can't go in the yard. If I keep holding it like this, I will definitely get bored. It's only five months now." , there are still five months to go, what should I do?"

Li Jiarong stood up and helped her walk back and forth, "Didn't the weather not allow you to go to the yard a while ago? Now you are exempted from the morning and evening appointments every day. When the weather is better, you can take a walk in the yard." , don't go out if you have nothing to do."

Fuer nodded, "I know, don't worry, Lord, I will take care of myself." While walking, Fuer suddenly stopped, and Li Jiarong immediately became nervous.

"what happened?"

Fu'er rubbed her belly with her hands, and smiled happily, "He's moving, he's really naughty."

Li Jiarong's eyes lit up, and he immediately supported Fu'er to sit down, held his breath, and pressed his hands against Fu'er's abdomen, feeling a bulge. Li Jiarong didn't think it was enough, so he directly reached into Fu'er's stomach In the skirt of the clothes, his hands were pressed against his belly and rubbed the small raised bump, and the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger.

After a while, the small pimple disappeared, and Li Jiarong stroked it reluctantly for a long time before taking out his hand.

"I really want to see him soon. It must be a fat boy."

Fu'er touched the flesh on her cheek. She has become fatter and fatter since she was pregnant, and she is very sensitive to the word fat.Immediately, he said a little unhappy, "How did you know it was a fat boy? Maybe it was a girl?"

Li Jiarong nodded, "A fat girl is fine, but it would be even better if she was a son."

"Hmph..." Fu'er snorted softly, and quietly rolled her eyes at Li Jiarong.Li Jiarong saw it, smiled secretly and shook his head.

In the evening, Fu'er was sleepy not long after dinner, so Li Jiarong ordered Hong Ying to wait for Fu'er to wash up. Now Fu'er goes to bed early every day, and he is used to watching something before going to bed.

"Master," Xiao Qinzi's low voice sounded outside, with a trace of solemnity in his voice.

Li Jiarong's face was serious, "What's wrong?"

"The concubine Yan is here, and she said she wants to see the concubine." Xiao Qinzi said in a low voice.

When asked about Fu'er's courtyard, the side concubine naturally refers to Fu'er's.Li Jiarong glanced at Fu'er, and Fu'er said inexplicably, "I only saw her once...."

"It doesn't matter," Li Jiarong comforted Fu'er, "Do you want to see her?"

Fu'er thought for a while, and asked Li Jiarong, "It's not easy for her to go out of the palace?"

"He must have left the palace secretly at this time," Li Jiarong nodded, "If you don't want to see him, then disappear."

"See you then, she must have something urgent to come to me right now." Fu'er took off her coat and put it on her body, and sat back on the chair again.

"Please." Li Jiarong sat next to Fu'er and said softly.

Xiao Qinzi replied outside the house, "Yes." The footsteps gradually faded away, and after a while, I heard light footsteps coming in again.

The door opened, and Xiao Qinzi was followed by a woman in a black cloak. The woman took off the cap of the cloak, and it was Huang Shi dressed as a court lady.

Seeing Li Jiarong here, Mrs. Huang wasn't surprised at all, she sat down straight down, and said to Hong Ying, "Pour me a cup of tea."

Hong Ying glanced at Li Jiarong, and retreated in response.

After drinking two cups of tea, Mrs. Huang complained as if she was out of breath, "I was so frightened to death. I was almost caught on the road. The guards in the capital city became more and more strict. If it wasn't for Bengong's cleverness, I'm afraid Can't get out."

"What's the matter with you coming to the palace late at night?" Li Jiarong asked coldly.

Huang sneered, "Prince Rong is still as deserted as before, what's the rush? I haven't congratulated Sister Chen on her pregnancy yet. I came out in a hurry today. I didn't bring a gift with me. Don't be offended by my sister."

Before Fu'er could speak, Li Jiarong frowned and said, "This king's side concubine has no sisterhood with your empress, please remember your identity."

Huang's winking eyes turned around, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Prince Rong is really stingy, since the prince doesn't want to have anything to do with this palace, I will send a gift to Concubine Chen in the future."

"Thank you." Fu'er smiled and nodded, not daring to say a single word, she felt that Huang's actually came to find Li Jiarong, and looking for her was just a cover.

"My lord," Huang's face straightened, "It's not easy for me to go out of the palace, so I won't talk much about it. My lord, I have already dealt with Concubine Degui for you. The prince's line is ruined, as the saying goes Courtesy is reciprocal, so does Prince Rong have to do something for the Palace?"

Was Concubine Degui killed by the Huang family?Fu'er's heart tightened, Li Jiarong was right, the Huang family was no longer the old Huang family.

"What do you want?" Without a trace, Li Jiarong embraced Fuer from behind, making Fuer's heart calm down immediately.

A look of grievance flashed across Huang's face, and she soon calmed down again, "Before I say what I want, I want to ask Prince Rong one thing."

Li Jiarong raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to ask.

"During the 100 years since the founding of the Xi Dynasty, has there been any incident of burial of concubines?" Taking a deep breath, Huang asked seriously.

Li Jiarong's eyes flashed, but his tone was very steady, "No."

"My lord, are you sure?" Huang still couldn't believe it.

Li Jiarong nodded, "This king swears in the name of the royal family that since the establishment of the Xi Dynasty, no concubine has ever been buried."

Huang's face was not as relaxed as it should be, but more serious, and a little flustered, "But the emperor said... that he would want me to accompany him in a hundred years..."

Li Jiarong remained silent.

Fu'er looked at Li Jiarong, and saw Li Jiarong's face was calm, and seeing Huang's flustered and confused look, she couldn't help sighing, Huang probably wanted to negotiate terms with Li Jiarong, but unfortunately she didn't have a bargaining chip, and she didn't know What will she ask for.

"Prince Rong, I helped you ascend the throne, so why don't you help me with one thing?" After thinking for a long time, Huang finally said this sentence.

Li Jiarong did not agree, but asked instead, "How sure are you that you can help me ascend the throne?"

"I know where the emperor's secret intention to pass the throne is." Huang smiled slightly, full of self-satisfaction.

Fu'er was shocked. What Huang meant...couldn't be tampering with the secret decree, right?
Li Jiarong smiled, and shook his head with a smile, "I don't need to know the secret decree, but I would like to advise you, don't try to use the secret decree. The royal family that has been established for a hundred years is not just talking about it."

Huang's face froze slightly, and she wanted to say something, but Li Jiarong interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "Talk about your request first, maybe this king can agree to you."

"After a hundred years from the emperor, I will leave the palace! Leave the palace safely, live the rest of my life freely without worrying about food and clothing." Huang thought for a moment, looked at Li Jiarong, and said word by word.

Li Jiarong raised his eyebrows, but did not answer.

Fu'er couldn't help asking, "Except for the queen mother, concubines with children can live with the prince, and concubines without children can also leave the palace? What are you worried about?"

Huang smiled miserably, "You can go out of the palace? Do you know where you are going? It is to practice in a temple! If you only need to abide by the rules and regulations, that's all. But in a place like Ning'an Temple, you need to practice hard! Three meals a day Don’t talk about basic food and drink, you still have to work in the fields, you can’t have anyone around you, and you have to do everything yourself! I don’t want to go to that kind of place! I don’t even want to die!”

"This matter is easy to handle, I promise you." Li Jiarong interrupted her without hesitation.

Huang was taken aback, "You agreed to Ben Gong? But, but the emperor said that he would let Ben Gong accompany him... Will he kill Ben Gong and be buried?"

Li Jiarong said with a cold face, "Since I promised you that I will do it, don't bother me about the rest."

"Then thank you, my lord." Knowing Li Jiarong's temperament of doing what he said, Mrs. Huang happily thanked her.

Li Jiarong waved his hand, "Hurry up and go back to the palace, if it's later, if the father goes to your palace and can't see you..."

"What the lord said is that I will leave first." Huang Shi nodded and left without hesitation.

After she left, Fu'er said angrily, "Where did you come looking for me? It's clearly looking for you!"

Li Jiarong laughed, "If she came to me directly, I might not necessarily meet her. But you are different. Now that you are pregnant, you can't tolerate any mistakes. As long as she sees you, she will definitely find a way to see me."

"Fortunately, she just wanted to leave the palace. I thought she would have other ideas." Fu'er sighed.

Li Jiarong patted her head and said with a smile, "She used to be my concubine after all. If she stayed in the palace as a concubine, wouldn't she be asking for trouble? I don't know where she heard the gossip. It's not like you can go wherever you want." Although Li Jiarong said so, the smile in his eyes was full.

Fu'er looked at him suspiciously, "Master, your tone seems to be..." Taizhi was sure to get something.

"What does it seem?" Li Jiarong pinched her face.

Fu'er avoided his hand, "No, it's nothing."

Two months later, news came from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill, and all the princes and female relatives above the side concubine came to the palace to serve the sick.

After receiving the order, Fu'er held her seven-month-old belly and looked at Su Shi who had a strange smile on her face, feeling inexplicably afraid in her heart.
