Emperor's Women

But she left for a while. It's troublesome to let her sit and serve tea.

Unexpectedly, Rong Guifei sneered, looked at Fang Yan and said, "sure enough, the empress is a noble person who forgets things. After fighting with the empress into friendship, she forgot to have such a person as a minister and concubine. I still remember how good she said when she was looking for an alliance between ministers and concubines."

Upon hearing what Rong Guifei said, Fang Yan looked up at her and said with a smile, "when did the palace turn war into friendship with the imperial concubine? Where did you hear all this news?"

"There's no need to listen. Just look with your eyes. Today, the empress really gave her a good hand like that of the imperial concubine." then she stretched out her hand and spread it out to Fang Yan, with an angry look on her face: "What about my concubine? What is it? It's just a carved hairpin. In the eyes of the empress, my concubine and other concubines can be dismissed as a carved hairpin?"

In the face of the groundless accusations of imperial concubine Rong, anyone will have a temper, not to mention the square face that can't rub the sand in his eyes.

She held back her anger, but said with a smile: "so, you came to see your concubine just because you didn't get enough new year greetings? Rong Guifei, when did you lose these things in your palace? The house of internal affairs didn't deduct any points from your food and clothing expenses. Now you're here to worry about these. Don't you think you're making trouble?"

Not to mention the value of the carved hairpin, where she found it and how many skilled craftsmen she hired to make it carefully. Which one is bad to say that it is the Queen's reward? No wonder the imperial concubine Rong and mingyuke haven't made any progress after fighting for so many years. It turned out to be stupid.

After listening to Fang Yan's words, Rong Guifei blushed and whitened for a while. After a long time, she said, "you came to my concubine and said you wanted to form an alliance! But after such a long time, have you summoned my concubine? Have you helped my concubine fight for favor? What did my concubine get from you?"

"You're fresh." Fang Yan finally understood the purpose of Rong Guifei's visit, looked coldly at Rong Guifei and said, "it was good for our palace to find your alliance at the beginning, but after such a long time, our palace is not idle. Besides, it depends on your own ability to compete for favor. If you don't have the ability, you have to blame our palace? You're really a joke."

Fang Yan covered her mouth and smiled secretly. Zixi was also giggling on one side. When she looked at Zixi, she couldn't hang her face. "Then you asked me to alliance with you. I helped you. In addition to mingyuke, the benefit you gave me is to help me compete for favor!"

"But the palace doesn't need your help. Mingyuke's relationship with the palace is getting better and better day by day." Fang Yan looked at Rong Guifei, who was getting close to time and space. At this time, she may have been angry, even forgot to call herself, and became more and more disrespectful to mingyuke.

Rong Guifei didn't get anything cheap here. On the contrary, she was humiliated. At present, she turned her head and ran out without even giving a gift.

Seeing Rong Guifei run out, Zixi looked at her and said with a disdainful smile: "with his brain, do you dare to challenge her? Go and Practice for a few more years."

The compassionate branch next to her said: "it's not easy for her to come to this step. I think she didn't get much favor in those years, but now she has survived to the imperial concubine step by step. Moreover, she is still pressed by the imperial concubine everywhere. No wonder she will be so angry."

"Why, was she pressed by mingyuke before?" Fang Yan asked back.

Compassionate branch nodded: "it's not. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't have made an alliance with her, would she?"

"But now it seems that she is a person who can't accomplish anything but fail. It seems right that she hasn't done anything with her for such a long time." Fang Yan secretly rejoices. If she really cooperates with her, she doesn't know how to do bad things.

While he was talking, Rong Chengjin came in outside the door. Today Fang Yan received the audience's concubines' good morning, and Rong Chengjin also accepted the worship of civil and military officials. At this time, he just came back. He is waiting for the emperor and empress to burn incense together in the ancestral hall.

"What are you talking about?" Rong Chengjin came in and looked at the master and servant Sanren with a smile.

Fang Yan Lian said, "no, why do you like to ask so many questions. Now you can go to the ancestral hall?"

I didn't expect Fang Yan to be so positive, but it was better early than late at this time, so Rong Chengjin didn't ask anything, so she went with Fang Yan.

Every year, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day for emperor Yunzhao to worship the heaven, so the day when Fang Yan promised mu manling to go back on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year is a few days later. Anyway, he promised to go back, and it's not bad to worship the heaven. Therefore, Fang Yan began to order Ming Yuke to fully prepare the things needed for the heaven worship ceremony.

Mingyuke takes care of these things every year. It's rare to take a break after having Fang Yan. Now Fang Yan is pregnant, she has to pick up these things again and continue to do them.

"Empress, I really don't understand. In the past, no one in the back palace let you work all day. Now that there is a queen, why does empress let you work so hard." yue'er looked at mingyuke with some displeasure and said.

Mingyuke looked at the list and the things prepared by the house of interior. Then he said, "the queen is pregnant now. The emperor loves the queen and doesn't let her take care of these things. Naturally, the burden falls on the shoulders of the palace."

Then he took a closer look at what yue'er touched in her hand and said, "besides, I didn't see what you said when I did it every year. Why, if I only did it once this year, you'll be full of complaints. When the empress has a little prince all her life, I can't do it in the future."

Yue'er was even more aggrieved: "empress, you only know that the emperor loves the queen. Can't the empress love you? Look at you, you've lost weight these days..."

Mingyuke put the things in her hand aside, looked up at the moon and wondered, "you've never been like this before. When did you care so much?"

It seems that she has been haggling about everything since she met Fang Yan? Mingyuke asked with a doubt in her heart.

The moon flattened her mouth and said, "it's not the slave and maid who haggle over every detail. It's your mother who is too generous. Sometimes, what you can't bear is that you can't bear..."

"There's nothing I can't bear. She's the queen. We naturally have to do this. Mingyuke said, pointing to something at the hand of Yuer:" that, take it. "

The heaven worship ceremony will come soon. Mingyuke's actions have always been agile. Rao is only a few days to take care of the ceremony.

At the heaven worship ceremony, the concubines followed Rong Chengjin and Fang Yan. Rong Chengjin and Fang Yan wore bright yellow dragon and Phoenix robes and slowly walked onto the platform of the heaven worship ceremony.

Rong Chengjin took Fang Yan's hand and walked up the steps step by step. Fang Yan stood behind Rong Chengjin like this. Rao is pregnant and has thousands of Fengyi.

When they reached the Dingqian station, Rong Chengjin and Fang Yan turned around hand in hand. All the sacrificial supplies had been arranged. Chupan handed Rong Chengjin the sword for heaven worship. Rong Chengjin took it. Fang Yan leaned slightly and knelt beside Rong Chengjin.

"Sacrifice to heaven!" Fang Yan Sang loudly.

Rong Chengjin danced his sword and poured sacrificial objects into the tripod, and the musician began to play music. After a song, Rong Chengjin's sword also neatly pulled a sword flower and put it away. Then Fang Yan stood up and poured the wine into the tripod with Rong Chengjin.

Holding torches in both hands, they threw the fire into the tripod.

The fire burned more and more. All the ministers and concubines knelt down together and shouted long live and long live.

In the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the more prosperous the fire in the tripod, the better the weather will be in the coming year.

Everything went well, but when I returned to the palace, it didn't go so smoothly.

When Fang Yan followed everyone back to the palace in a carriage, he was walking on the official road. For some reason, a fierce tiger suddenly appeared from the jungle beside the official road.

The fierce tiger went straight to Fang Yan's carriage. The horse was frightened and raised its front hooves with a long hiss. Fang Yan fell heavily in the carriage.

The imperial Lin army rushed to escort Fang Yan. Zixi and Mianzhi sat next to Fang Yan. They helped Fang Yan and followed the carriage.

"Empress, empress!" it was easy to restore the calm of the carriage, but Fang Yan fainted in the car.

"Empress, wake up, empress!" Zixi desperately called Fang Yan in the carriage, but found that there was no movement.

Just when Zixi was about to call Rong Chengjin, Mianzhi screamed: "sister Zixi! Look! Blood!"

Zixi looked down at Minzhi's hand. Sure enough, there was red blood on the couch!

Rong Chengjin also rushed over at this time. Ignoring the fierce tiger not far away who was still ready to attack here, she suddenly got into the carriage and hugged Fang Yan. Seeing that there was no blood on her face, she picked her up and ran to the front.

Not far away, a few inaudible whistles sounded, but the tiger listened really. After getting up, he looked left and right, and ran away along the grass not far away.

Seeing this, Rong Guifei, who followed the concubines, sneered, put down the curtain in the car and closed her eyes.

He hurried back to the palace. The imperial doctor who had been checking Fang Yan's pulse and fixing her fetus had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Fang Yan busy checking her pulse, he found that she had moved her fetal Qi.

After boiling the medicine and carrying out some hemostatic rescue, the child was finally saved after tossing for a long time.

I don't know how long it took Fang Yan to wake up.

Rong Chengjin, who had been on the side and never left, saw Fang Yan open her eyes for the first time, took her hand and asked eagerly, "how do you feel, thirsty? Hungry? Is there anything uncomfortable? Taiyi? Taiyi!"

Relative to his nervousness, Fang Yan was very calm. He reached out and touched his stomach. When he found that the child was still there, he had a bottom in his heart. He said to Rong Chengjin, "it doesn't matter. I'm fine."

The imperial doctor came in from the outside and said after feeling Fang Yan's pulse: "the empress has moved her fetal Qi. She can't get out of bed and walk these days. She needs to rest."

"I know, go down." Rong Chengjin waved impatiently, and the imperial doctor withdrew.

In the imperial concubine Rong's palace.

"What are you talking about? The queen is all right? The child is still there? How can it be? Just then, the turbulence must have moved the fetal Qi, and the violent impact will probably make the child unable to survive. How can it be safe?" it was already dark at that time, and the face of the imperial concubine looked even more terrible under the moonlight and candlelight.

The maid in waiting knelt down beside her and wondered, "I don't understand, but I haven't been moving for so long. It's really wrong. I went to check. The neutron in the Queen's belly is still there. And..."

"Don't hesitate to say," said the imperial concubine.
