Ganxin Palace.
Helian Qi spent the whole morning reviewing memorials, and Ning Wanyin came to pay him a visit with some ginseng soup.
He also took a break, got up and sat on the coffee table at the side to drink ginseng soup, and asked:
"Tomorrow is Xi'er's first birthday ceremony, but is everything ready?"
"Everything in the palace is ready. There is only one thing I want to discuss with Your Majesty. There are four incense burners in Tinglan Palace, and the concubines love to use incense, so the fragrance is lingering around the table. The smell of spices has no effect on us adults, but the children are weak and I am afraid it will be bad for their health."
"According to the etiquette of the prince's first birthday ceremony, all the concubines in the harem and the prince's heir must attend the ceremony. I think the safety of the prince is the most important thing. I wonder if Your Majesty can allow the prince under ten years old to not attend."
The prince’s first birthday ceremony is a very important ceremony.
In addition to the royal heirs and concubines, the audience also included royal relatives and some important officials of the court.
Direct cancellation is not possible.
The so-called aromatherapy is harmful to people is obviously just an excuse.
The safety of the heir to the throne is the most important thing. Helian Qi understood Ning Wanyin's hint.
"You've thought it through very well." Helian Qi nodded in agreement.
He had not made such arrangements originally, because as long as the perpetrator was not caught, the risk would remain the same whether the princes attended the palace banquet or went somewhere else.
Not allowing the princes to attend the palace banquet would not solve the most fundamental problem. We can't restrict them from going to the imperial garden, going to the academy for classes, or practicing martial arts in the military training grounds...
Even if you lock someone up in the room, it's not safe. And raising a prince is not possible to keep him indoors.
So after the second prince got into trouble, the emperor secretly ordered the palace servants to strengthen their defenses in order to catch the assassin once and for all.
But as the host of the palace banquet, Ning Wanyin thought that the children might be in danger if they came to attend the palace banquet...
She was concerned about the safety of the royal heir and was worried that something might happen if there were too many people. She was so dedicated and conscientious that Helian Qi naturally would not refuse her kindness.
"Our Xier can't be suffocated. Bring him out to see the nanny, and then let nanny take him back." Helian Qi said.
This is exactly what Ning Wanyin wanted to say in the next paragraph. The emperor and she had considered the same thing.
According to the first birthday ceremonies of previous years, the prince would stay from the beginning of the ceremony until the end of the banquet.
Using spices as an excuse, the princes don't need to come, and her Xier can also leave early.
"Your Majesty and I are in tune with each other." Ning Wanyin smiled and said:
"There is another thing. Concubine Lin is eight months pregnant and will give birth in the next two months. I see that she still likes to join in the fun. I am really worried that she has a miscarriage. It is better for her to rest. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
There will be a lot of people tomorrow, what if someone bumps into Concubine Lin...
The child may not be saved.
At her son's first birthday ceremony, Ning Wanyin couldn't let anything happen to any prince, including the unborn one.
Otherwise, if it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it may be detrimental to Xier's reputation.
As for those concubines, even if someone started pulling hair and fighting on the spot, as long as the royal heir was not involved, it was not a big deal in Ning Wanyin's opinion.
"Wanwan has considered everything." Helian Qi nodded.
Concubine Lin was safe and well during her pregnancy, so Helian Qi did not keep her under house arrest.
But things are not peaceful in the palace right now. We should make plans early.
Helian Qi looked at Wang Degui and ordered:
"Pass on my oral order. Considering the young age of the crown prince, those under the age of ten do not need to attend the ceremony."
He also said:
"Jieyu Lin's pregnancy is unstable. I have ordered her to stay indoors and take care of her pregnancy."
Wang Degui took the order and hurried out to convey it.
…
In Huanxiang Pavilion.
Concubine Lin looked at Wang Degui who came to announce the decree and was very puzzled:
"Eunuch Wang, I am very healthy and have no discomfort. Did the imperial physician report something wrong to Your Majesty? Judge Zhao came to check my pulse yesterday and did not say that my fetus was unstable."
Wang Degui thought, it wasn't the imperial physician who reported that the Concubine Chen was worried that your fetus was unstable, so you are unstable.
"President Zhao didn't dare to tell you directly yesterday because he was afraid of scaring you. Just rest assured and take care of the baby." Wang Degui said.
Your Majesty has verbally stated that Concubine Lin's fetus is unstable. So starting from tomorrow, when Zhao Yuanpan diagnoses her pulse, it will definitely be that the fetus is unstable.
Concubine Lin was fooled at once. She also felt that the imperial physician must know more about the fetus' condition than she did, so she stayed in the room obediently.
Shuyu Garden.
Xiao Yunyao's face turned pale with anger:
"Why did the fetus suddenly become unstable? I think it was Ning Wanyin who was causing this!"
She had everything arranged.
Spices, replacement peonies, and palace maids taking action.
result……
Concubine Lin was under house arrest by the emperor!
Xiao Yunyao angrily tore the petals to vent her anger.
The newly sent peonies in a vase by the palace maids were all bright red and pleasing, which should have been a very festive sight. But now she was upset and irritable, and she found it very unpleasant to look at.
When the whole vase of peony flowers was reduced to nothing but petals on the ground.
Xiao Yunyao suppressed her irritability and returned to her usual gentle and dignified demeanor. "If Concubine Lin is not here, then we can use the pawns of the Fairy Palace instead."
She originally intended to use this chess piece to make Ning Wanyin lose her power over the six palaces.
The cleaning, burning of incense and other matters of the Xianling Palace and other shrines are the responsibility of the Shrine Department among the twenty-four departments, which is one of the twelve departments under the jurisdiction of Ning Wanyin.
Something happened in Linyuansi, and Concubine Kang handed over power.
If something happens to the Jingu Si, then it will be Ning Wanyin's turn.
As for this chess piece...
Since his brother became the Governor-General of the Southwest, Xiao Yunyao gradually made a name for himself in the capital and built up momentum for himself. At the same time, when the imperial palace selected palace ladies twice, he sent chess pieces with seemingly clean backgrounds into the palace.
