Chapter 81 No One is Worry-Free
Liang Yuhe lost her appetite completely because she was worried about her daughter.
Seeing her eat a few bites, Wen Tingkuan and Wen Zhiyan took turns coaxing her to eat half a bowl more.
"Mother, don't worry. Although Li'er doesn't look very smart, she's actually quite clever. Look, she's been in the palace for two years, and nothing has happened to her, right?"
"Yes, ma'am, don't worry. Li'er is a good child, and the Buddha will definitely bless her. Aren't you planning to go to the temple to pray for Li'er? Remember to add some extra money for the incense."
Liang Yuhe wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded.
"I'll go tomorrow. Li'er is about to give birth, and I won't feel safe if I don't go and pray for her. She's always been timid, and she'll definitely be scared of giving birth. It's a pity that I can't go into the palace to accompany her."
When Wen Tingkuan thought about the scene when Liang Yuhe gave birth to her child, he was actually very worried.
But he still tried to comfort his wife.
"The palace is filled with the best doctors in Dayan, and there are maids and maids accompanying her. Li'er won't be afraid. And that's the Crown Prince's first child. The Queen Mother won't allow anything to happen to that child, so don't worry."
Liang Yuhe nodded.
The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became a little heavy.
What we are facing now is a very realistic problem.
No matter how worried they were, it was impossible for them to enter the palace to see Li'er.
unless……
Li'er has the ability to become a concubine.
Imperial Palace, Cining Palace.
“Click…”
“Click…”
“Click…”
The sound of melon seeds being peeled off one after another echoed in the hall.
Two small hills had already piled up in front of the queen.
A melon seed kernel and a melon seed shell placed on a white plate.
The melon seeds were all intact and full, without any broken ones.
This shows how skilled the queen is at peeling melon seeds.
The Queen Mother rubbed her brows and looked at her, her forehead throbbing.
She scolded him, "Go back to your Fengxiang Palace. You're giving me a headache from all the noise."
Upon hearing this, the queen finally stopped peeling melon seeds.
She moved the pile of melon seeds in front of the Queen Mother.
"Aunt, I peeled it specially for you, please enjoy it slowly."
The Queen Mother glared at her for a long moment and sneered.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
The queen pursed her lips, carefully glanced at the queen mother's expression, and finally explained the purpose of peeling this bowl of melon seeds.
"Aunt, are you still angry about the last time the Crown Prince let Yang Guifei go? He came to you to wish you a happy new year a few days ago, but you ignored him."
The Queen Mother looked at her in surprise.
The queen behaves coldly and indifferently every day, and ignores the prince.
Now she actually cares about the prince, which really makes the empress dowager feel a little relieved.
She looked at the Queen and suddenly asked, "Tell me, under the pressure of the Emperor, he was so spineless as to choose not to pursue Yang Guifei. Was he right?"
The Queen thought for a moment and said truthfully, "He has no choice. Even if he insisted on holding Yang Guifei accountable that day, the Emperor would certainly not agree. Then, a huge fight would rage between father and son over a woman, and their already precarious relationship would be exacerbated."
The Queen paused for a long moment before adding, "However, the Crown Prince did do something wrong. Your aunt has worked so hard for him. Before he succumbed to the Emperor's pressure, he should have considered your feelings."
"Consider me?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly.
"He's the crown prince, the future heir apparent. Why should he consider my feelings? It's right not to."
The Queen was a little confused: "Then why are you angry, Aunt?"
Seeing her frowning and deep in thought, the Queen Mother couldn't help but scold her, "You've been in the palace for so many years, and you can't even understand this. What are you doing?"
The queen twitched her lips and accepted the scolding obediently.
Seeing that she didn't dare to refute, the Queen Mother snorted coldly.
"The Emperor is quite dissatisfied with Xu'er's acting as the magistrate. Now, Xu'er has disobeyed me for Yang Guifei's sake, and I have neglected her. Given the Emperor's temperament, he will at least want to compensate Xu'er. In that case, why not put on a show?"
In this way, the emperor wanted to repay the favor for Yang Guifei.
The queen said nothing more and left.
The Queen Mother looked at her aloof figure and rubbed her brows helplessly.
There is really no peace of mind.
…
Eastern Palace, Yuqing Hall.
Yan Shixu was buried in a pile of memorials, writing furiously.
Zhang Sicheng hurried in.
Yan Shixu raised his eyes to look at him.
"What is it?"
Zhang Sicheng replied, "Your Highness, a spy from the Western Yu Kingdom has been discovered in the capital."
Yan Shixu frowned: "How many people?"
"More than ten people."
Yan Shixu nodded: "You take a group of people to track them secretly. There is no need to alert the enemy. Once you find their base, you can arrest them."
Zhang Sicheng hesitated. "Your Highness, how about sending Zuo Qing? You're going hunting with General Luo and Young Master Su today, and I need to protect your safety at all times."
Yan Shixu shook his head: "I have another important matter for Zuo Qing to do, you go ahead with this one."
Seeing that His Highness insisted, Zhang Sicheng could only nod in agreement.
When he was about to leave the study, Zhang Sicheng thought of another thing.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Hospital presented a pill to the Emperor today, and I noticed something unusual."
"What's unusual?"
"The timing is wrong. Usually, the Imperial Hospital usually gives medicine after dinner, but this time it's at noon."
Yan Shixu nodded and waited for him to continue.
"I sent someone to investigate. It turns out the Emperor was dissatisfied with the slow effectiveness of the pills prescribed by Court Judge He. A doctor named Liao volunteered and presented a more effective medicine. The Emperor took it and was impressed, so he decided that Doctor Liao would be in charge of his medication from now on."
Yan Shixu frowned.
My father's illness has accumulated over time. It is impossible to cure it overnight.
The most conservative treatment method is to slowly adjust the condition and return to the root cause.
But given my father's temperament, no one can persuade him, so we can only let him do what he wants.
After Zhang Sicheng left, Yan Shixu finished reviewing the last memorial and stood up.
Before leaving Yuqing Palace, Yongtai came to report: "Your Highness, the Third Prince is here."
Yan Shixu had no choice but to move to the main hall.
When he saw Yan Shicheng, who had become several shades darker, Yan Shixu was surprised.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you've become so dark?"
"Royal brother, I got this while practicing horseback archery."
Yan Shixu smiled and said, "It looks a bit tougher this way."
Yan Shicheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly. After a while, he remembered the purpose of his visit today.
He waved behind him, and two eunuchs came forward and presented the pear wood box in their hands.
