Chapter 86 Two Decrees
"In reply to your Majesty, Xu Wanyi's pulse is indeed slightly different from that of an ordinary pregnant woman, but everyone's constitution is different, and some differences are normal, so I dare not make a conclusion. I leave it to your Majesty to decide."
How can Xiao Jingfan decide?
He naturally believed in Chu Liuzheng's system, and sending Wu Yuanshi there was just for confirmation.
He tapped the memorial in front of him with his fingers and said, "My dear Wen, you have really given birth to a good daughter."
The corners of his lips curled up in a playful arc, and Xiao Jingfan waved his hand towards Wu Yuanshi: "Back off, and don't reveal a single word."
"only!"
"Come back." Xiao Jingfan suddenly changed his mind.
Wu Yuanshi, who had just taken two steps, immediately returned and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any further instructions?"
Xiao Jingfan looked at him, "Is Xu Wanyi's pregnancy stable?"
Envoy Wu looked up at him and said, following the emperor's wishes, "Empress Wanyi is weak. It was not easy for her to have this baby. She needs to rest and take care of the baby."
Xiao Jingfan frowned, seeming to be genuinely worried, "Do you want to take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine?"
The corner of Wu Yuanshi's mouth twitched, but he still followed Xiao Jingfan's meaning and said, "Your Majesty, since the fetus is unstable, it is natural to take the medicine to maintain the pregnancy."
Xiao Jingfan nodded: "It's best to drink for a few more days, otherwise I will be uneasy."
Wu Yuanshi: "..."
What's the trouble? Isn't the medicine bitter enough?
Another day when I want to retire from the Imperial Hospital!
Half an hour later, an imperial decree arrived at Huayin Palace.
Because Xu Wanyi had contributed greatly to the birth of the imperial heir, Emperor Shunguang issued an edict to restore her position as a concubine, and even her title "Yun" was restored.
It is not appropriate for Concubine Yun to move while she is pregnant. She will move back to the main hall of Yaohua Palace after she gives birth to the royal heir.
Not only that, the emperor also gave down a lot of things as rewards, which shows how much honor and favor he had.
As soon as this decree was issued, the Yaohua Palace, which had been deserted for a long time, became popular again.
But before anyone could arrive to join in the fun, they were stopped by another decree from Emperor Shunguang.
According to the diagnosis of the Imperial Hospital, Concubine Yun's pregnancy is unstable. In order to prevent outsiders from disturbing the fetus, no one is allowed to visit her in Yaohua Palace unless it is an urgent matter. Concubines living in other palaces of Yaohua Palace are also not allowed to disturb her in Huayin Palace without permission.
He also asked Concubine Yun to rest and take care of her pregnancy in the palace, and not to go out again until the three-month dangerous period was over.
If it weren't for the imperial decree of restoration, everyone would have thought that Emperor Shunguang intended to put Concubine Yun under house arrest.
But now the two edicts came one after the other, which made people feel that Emperor Shunguang attached great importance to Concubine Yun's pregnancy and was afraid that there would be any accident to the child in Concubine Yun's belly.
Even the queen can't match his meticulousness.
For a moment, all the concubines felt jealous. Some of them who were quick-witted would inevitably go to Changchun Palace to sit there, probably saying some sour words to put Concubine Yun in a bad light in front of the Queen.
"Alright, shut up," Empress Zhong said, sounding annoyed. "Your Majesty has had few children, and now that Concubine Yun is pregnant, it's only right that His Majesty dote on her a little more. Instead of complaining here, why not find ways to please His Majesty and get him to visit your palace more often?"
"Empress, we sisters are speaking up for you." Concubine Xiao snorted, "She is just a concubine, how can she compare to you..."
"Alright!" Queen Zhong interrupted her, raising her hand to her forehead, her expression showing a bit of fatigue, "I am tired, you all should go back."
Concubine Xiao looked embarrassed. She stood up with the other concubines and took her leave with a formal ceremony.
After leaving Changchun Palace, Concubine Xiao's expression did not ease much.
Xie Jieyu glanced at her sideways and said, "Sister Xiao is outspoken. If someone spreads Sister Xiao's words to Concubine Yun's ears, I wonder how Concubine Yun would view Sister Xiao."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Xiao glared at her, a hint of panic flashing across her eyes.
Xie Jieyu smiled and said, "My sister heard that when Concubine Yun was in seclusion in Huayin Palace, Sister Xiao often visited her. With such a deep sisterly love, I'm sure Concubine Yun won't hold a few words with Sister Xiao to account."
Concubine Xiao: "..."
That bitch Xu Rushuang, every time His Majesty comes to her palace, she sends someone to ask His Majesty to leave. If Xu Rushuang's status was not higher than hers and she could not please His Majesty, she would have taught Xu Rushuang a lesson long ago!
I finally saw her in trouble, so what's wrong with her coming to her house and making a few sarcastic remarks?
Who knew that bitch Xu was so lucky that she was pregnant with a dragon heir!
Now it's back in place. I wonder how I'll deal with her after the baby is born.
Concubine Xiao was a little flustered and unconsciously clenched her handkerchief.
"It's snowing, why are Sister Xiao's palms sweaty?"
Xie Jieyu held Concubine Xiao's wrist and gently wiped the sweat from her palm with a handkerchief.
"Sister Xiao and Concubine Yun live in the same palace and visit each other frequently. Their bond is naturally unmatched by anyone else. I've heard Sister Xiao is very skilled in blending perfumes. Concubine Yun is pregnant with a dragon heir, a happy occasion like this. Sister Xiao should personally blend a scent to send to her."
Concubine Xiao's pupils shrank as she stared at the smiling woman in front of her, "You..."
"Sister Xiao." Xie Jieyu let go of her wrist and interrupted her, taking the hand warmer handed to her by the palace maid. "It's getting late, and I have to go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I won't talk to Sister Xiao anymore. Goodbye."
Concubine Xiao knelt and bowed: "Goodbye, Madam Concubine."
"My lady," said the head maid Zhu Qing, stepping forward to hold her hand. "The snow is getting heavier. Let's go back."
Xiao Guipin took her hand and walked back, asking softly, "What do you think she meant by that just now?"
Zhu Qing heard something was wrong and hurriedly advised, "Master, please don't fall into her trap. Concubine Xie has bad intentions."
"But she's right, isn't she?" Concubine Xiao looked at the slowly falling snowflakes before her eyes. "Concubine Yun is pregnant with the dragon heir. Once her pregnancy is stable and she can walk around, where will my good life be?"
"But..." Zhu Qing wanted to persuade her again, but Xiao Guipin didn't let her finish and quickened her pace. "We didn't bring an umbrella with us, so let's go quickly."
Inside the hall, everyone had left and the various aromas and flavors suddenly faded a lot.
Queen Zhong let out a sigh and felt less suffocated, so she stood up and was supported by Qiu Sui to go for a walk in the small garden.
Because it was snowing, I just walked under the corridor and looked at the chrysanthemums that had been moved in.
"My Lady, please don't take what I just said to heart. Right now, nothing is more important than your own health."
"It's just a few words. Why would I care?" Empress Zhong bent down and cut off a branch of the most blossoming marigold and handed it to Qiu Sui. "Put it in the white jade vase in the flower hall later."
Qiu Sui glanced at the flower that was about to fall apart after blooming so much, and said, "My Lady, let's change it. This marigold looks fine now, but I'm afraid it will wither tomorrow."
"That's why I have to put it in a vase and look at it carefully." Queen Zhong reached out to catch a fallen petal, a faint smile on her face. "If you miss today, you won't be able to see it again."
Qiu Sui blinked, as if she understood something, and smiled, "Then I'll have someone fuck you right away."
She waved to the little palace maid behind her and said, "Put this marigold in the white jade vase in the flower hall. The Queen will want to see it later."
"Yes." The little palace maid took the marigold and left.
Empress Zhong took two slow steps and saw a yellowing leaf on a branch. She reached out and snipped it off. While examining the yellow leaf, she asked, "What's going on in Nongyun Garden?"
