E Shuo was flattered when Xinyue said this, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Gege, this makes me seem distant. Well, I'll call you Xinyue, and you don't have to call me Sir, just call me Amuqi."
Xinyue called "Amuqi" happily, and miraculously felt that she was the Xinyue Gege who was loved by her family again!
Although E Shuo was a first-rank internal minister and had a closer relationship with the emperor, he had a first-rank internal minister who led the imperial guards above him, and there were five internal ministers of the same level, so he didn't have much real power. His son was still young, and he didn't know what he would do in the future. His daughter was favored, but she didn't like the empress dowager and couldn't help the family for the time being. This time, he saw an opportunity to raise an orphan according to the imperial order, and he felt that he had gained more trust from the emperor. He didn't expect that Gege was so easy to get along with. If he could win this relationship, it would be a great help to his family.
Nanny Fang and the maid Dong Qing, who were given by Xiaozhuang, looked at each other and did not speak to stop them. Before leaving the palace, Su Moer specifically told them not to care too much about Xinyue's affairs, as long as they did not make any scandals that would embarrass the royal family. They did not understand what it meant at first, but now they suddenly realized when they saw how the two of them were getting along. Both Xinyue and Xianfei's fathers were people who did not know the rules. I am afraid that the queen mother would rather they make some mistakes, so that there would be an excuse to punish them.
After Fei Yanggu finished practicing riding and shooting, his personal servant hurriedly ran up to tell him the news he had inquired about. Although Fei Yanggu had made up his mind to stay away from the siblings, he still had to keep an eye on them in his own mansion to know what was going on. When he heard E Shuo's actions, he immediately guessed what E Shuo was thinking. He felt helpless. His father was getting more and more confused. So what kind of help was a princess without a backer and background? But his father still felt that he had picked up a bargain.
Fei Yanggu simply washed himself and went to the study to try to persuade E Shuo, "Father, isn't it a bit hasty to get close to them now? After all, the princess and the prince are the masters. We, as servants, are ordered to raise the orphan. As long as we respect them well, we can satisfy the superiors. After the mourning period is over, the queen mother will definitely arrange a marriage for the princess. Then we can see how the superiors arrange the prince and decide whether to get close. My son thinks this is safer." E Shuo was happy and didn't listen to his son. Besides, Fei Yanggu was only thirteen years old and was still a child in his eyes. "Okay, Fei Yanggu, don't be so cautious. Although we are servants, your sister is already the master. She specially took on the responsibility of raising the orphan to her family, saying Ming Xinyue and Keshan are still very important to the emperor. If we wait and see for a while, we will lose the first opportunity. "
He saw Fei Yanggu frowning and trying to persuade him, and sighed, "You, you are young but you think a lot, why are you so timid? Your sister is pregnant with a prince now, and she may have great luck in the future! We should pave the way in advance and give your sister some help. Keshan will inherit the title in the future. It is possible that the emperor will inherit the title directly. Then he will be a prince. Xinyue's status will not be low. When our family raises two nobles, won't it be better?" E Shuo stroked his beard and smiled slowly when he thought of the future glory of his family.
Fei Yanggu looked at E Shuo, frowning more and more, knowing that it was useless to say anything. Sometimes he couldn't help thinking that if his sister was a man, he might not be so good in this family. Thinking of his mother who was lying in bed to recuperate, he sighed and said nothing more.
With E's occasional visits and concerns, Xinyue gradually came out of the painful memory. She was just sentimental. As long as she was not given so much time to think about it, she would be as lively and youthful as other teenage girls.
Xiaozhuang listened to the news sent back by Fang Mama and smiled indifferently. Dealing with this type of people several times made her deeply understand their ability to cause trouble. She didn't need to do anything personally. As long as she added fuel to the fire when they were making trouble, she could easily solve them.
She asked Eunuch Chang to pass on a message to Shunzhi, meaning that although the matter of Nu Dahai was suppressed, it was inappropriate in the end, and it had a bad influence in the army. According to military regulations, he should be punished with 80 strokes of the cane.
Shunzhi hated her the most for instructing government affairs. She said 80 strokes of the cane, but Shunzhi directly changed it to 30 strokes. After passing the order down, he couldn't read the memorials anymore. He got up and called Xiao Lizi to go to Chenggan Palace. Now, Wu Yunzhu is the only one who can be considered as his own in the palace. Wu Yunzhu's family is weak, and she has made too many enemies in the palace. She is also disliked by the Queen Mother, so she can only rely on him wholeheartedly. It can be said that life and death are all in his hands.
He feels at ease with Wu Yunzhu, and whenever he is in a bad mood, Wu Yunzhu can always say something he likes to hear to make him happy. Unlike other people, they are either timid, shy, rigid, or ambitious in front of him, which is really boring. There was originally a concubine Tong and a queen, but Tong concubine harmed Wu Yunzhu for her child, which shows that she is a vicious person. As for the queen, he already has a knot in his heart after the last incident with Wu Liangfu, and it is impossible for him to go to her again.
"Fulin, do you still keep the buffalo painting I gave you? That is the best painting I have ever drawn. I can't find that feeling when I want to draw it again."
Shunzhi looked down at Wu Yunzhu who was leaning on his arms, and smiled as he brushed the hair on her cheek behind her ear, "Keep it, it's hanging in my study. If you can't paint it, you can paint it later. Now the most important thing for you is to take good care of the baby. The baby will be born in two months, and I can't wait any longer."
Wu Yunzhu closed her eyes to hide her panic, calmed down, and smiled, "The child always kicks me, maybe he can't wait to meet his father."
"Oh? Let me see." Shunzhi's eyes flashed with surprise. He had been curious about Concubine Tong's belly before, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye. He gently placed his hand on Wu Yunzhu's belly, and after a while he really felt a strong collision. He was surprised and said, "Wu Yunzhu, my son is saying hello to me!"
Wu Yunzhu looked at his happy look, thinking that if the emperor could always treat her so well, she would be happy even if she couldn't become the queen, right? However, this idea was only a flash in the pan. She was so favored now, but she still couldn't sleep well every night, fearing that one day the emperor would get tired of her and suppress her. Even if she was the queen, Mengguqing was deposed before. Only by ascending to the position of Xiaozhuang could she solve the problem once and for all, call the wind and rain, and live steadily in the harem.
Wu Yunzhu's actual pregnancy period was only one month left. She kept looking for opportunities to create the illusion of premature birth. Unfortunately, the four maids sent by Xiaozhuang kept a close eye on her every day, and Aunt Cui sent by Shunzhi often followed her. She couldn't find any chance at all.
Xiaozhuang sent people to inquire about the four pregnant women from time to time, and ordered people to clean up the places where they might go to prevent any accidents. Wu Yunzhu spent a month anxiously, trying all kinds of ways, and finally entered the delivery room smoothly.
Shunzhi rushed to Chenggan Palace as soon as he learned about it. He heard Wu Yunzhu's screams in the delivery room, kicked over the stool, and angrily questioned the people around Wu Yunzhu, "How did you serve her? Why did Concubine Xian give birth prematurely? Tell me!"
The maids and nannies looked at each other, and no one dared to face Shunzhi's anger. It was Nanny Cui who bit the bullet and whispered, "Your Majesty, we have been serving carefully, and nothing unexpected has happened. Concubine Xian has not shown any discomfort. It looks like... it looks like the date has come..."
"How is it possible? Didn't you say there is still a month?" Shunzhi felt something was wrong, but Nanny Cui was his confidant and would not lie to him. Could it be that there was really no accident with the premature birth this time?
Wu Yunzhu had bribed the imperial physician to lie about the month of pregnancy. Xiaozhuang knew about it, but she didn't expose her. Seeing Shunzhi's irritable look, she just smiled and said, "Emperor, sit down and wait. Except for Aunt Cui, all of you should leave."
Shunzhi frowned and sat aside. In the room, except for him and Xiaozhuang, there were only Aunt Cui and Su Moer. He thought that Xiaozhuang just didn't want him to vent his anger on others, so he didn't care. Who knew that Xiaozhuang said directly, "Emperor, I sent four maids to take care of Concubine Xian. In the past few months, Concubine Xian has taken care of her with a rosy complexion and a very healthy body. You should be able to see it."
Shunzhi looked at Xiaozhuang in confusion. Xiaozhuang turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, looked at him and said, "Emperor, you sent Aunt Cui to serve Concubine Xian to prevent me from attacking Concubine Xian. Now all the outsiders have been dispersed. Aunt Cui has carefully checked the delivery room and there is nothing wrong, but?" She turned her head and looked at Aunt Cui for the last sentence.
Aunt Cui was so scared that her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground. Xiaozhuang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. The emperor has sent you to do this job. You should be careful. Now you go in and guard Concubine Xian until the baby is born safely. You are also an old man in the palace. You can still tell whether a woman is in good health or not, right?" Shunzhi clenched his fists and asked coldly, "How is Concubine Xian?" Aunt Cui trembled and sweat broke out on her forehead. She knew that the emperor and the empress dowager were not on good terms, but she didn't expect the empress dowager to point it out to her face. "Reply... Reply to the emperor, I have been serving Concubine Xian before. Concubine Xian is in good health. Seeing that the weather is good today, she said she wants to go to the courtyard. Go get some sun, but before I got up, I started having labor pains. The delivery room, the delivery room and the servants inside have also been carefully checked, and there is nothing wrong. "
Shunzhi stared at her for a while. The reason why he sent her here was because she knew some medical knowledge and was good at taking care of pregnant women. Since she said so, Wu Yunzhu might really be fine. He glanced at Xiaozhuang's smiling face, "In that case, you go in and guard Concubine Xian."
Mammy Cui did not dare to delay, and hurriedly got up and went into the delivery room. Wu Yunzhu's face was a little pale, but she could see that she was very energetic. She went forward and took a closer look. Seeing that the delivery was normal, she was relieved.
At this time, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "The noble concubine Yijing is here!" `P`JJWXC`P``P`JJWXC`P`
