   Chapter 308 Good News

   Zhou Yuan’s envoy quickly entered the main hall to diagnose Wang Meiren’s pulse.

   Everyone's eyes swept over. Among them, the Empress Dowager Zhao and Emperor Yongjia were the most eager.

  The youngest fifth prince is already thirteen years old. Over the years, Emperor Yongjia has been leading troops to fight, worrying about labor, and there is no movement in the harem.

Of course,    five princes and two princesses are not too few, but in the Tian family, the more children, the better.

   After the Zhou Yuan envoy checked the pulse, he smiled and congratulated: "Wang Meiren is a happy pulse, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress. There will be a little prince or little princess in the palace."

  Emperor Yongjia was overjoyed: "Okay! Such a happy event must be rewarded!"

   Empress Dowager Zhao was also full of smiles: "Ai's family has been looking forward to the good news from the harem. After all these years, I finally waited. Wang Meiren's belly is so good, Ai's family is also very happy. It is best to give birth to a prince!"

   Queen Qiao continued with a smile: "I am also very happy to have a princess."

   Empress Dowager Zhao rarely did not find fault, and smiled cheerfully: "What the queen said is. The prince and the princess are all good!"

  Emperor Yongjia said with a smile: "Wang Meiren has good news, and her position should be lifted. The Queen looked at it, what kind of position should be given to Wang Meiren?"

   Queen Qiao said with a smile: "Let's be promoted to Jieyu first!"

  Emperor Yongjia nodded: "Alright."

   In just half a year, from an ordinary palace person to the position of Jieyu, it can be seen that he is very favored.

   Wang Meiren's pale and pretty face flashed a blush, and she stood up shyly to thank her: "I thank the emperor and the queen's concubine."

   Concubine Su felt extremely sad.

  She served in the inner house for many years, and gave birth to two sons, and she only became Zhaorong. This Wang Meiren is good, she has only become Jieyu in half a year. In the future, there will be another little prince, so what?

   Concubine Qin rolled her eyes.

   Pregnancy is something that I know best. It happened that Wang Meiren was diagnosed with a happy pulse at the palace banquet at the end of the year. If it was said that there was no "credit" from Queen Qiao, she would not believe it at all.

  Look at the happy look of Emperor Yongjia, how satisfied he is with the "virtuous, benevolent" Queen Qiao!

   Sure enough, after the banquet was over, Emperor Yongjia stayed in Jiaofang Hall.

  Emperor Yongjia smiled at Queen Qiao: "I didn't expect to hear such good news before I set off."

   Queen Qiao said with a smile: "The emperor is in his prime, his sons and daughters are prosperous, and the concubines are also happy. The emperor can rest assured, and the concubines will take good care of Wang Meiren."

  Emperor Yongjia held Queen Qiao's hand and smiled pleasantly: "The queen is virtuous, it is my blessing."

   It's disgusting to pretend to be affectionate at an age.

Queen Qiao's heart was not disturbed, and there was a happy smile on her face: "The emperor praises his concubine so much, but the concubine is disrespectful." After a while, he said: "Wang Meiren is happy, she must calmly raise the child. The concubine will pick two more. A young man serving the emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia said with a smile: "It's not necessary. After the new year, I will lead the army to go on an expedition, how can I have such a leisurely heart. The queen has this heart, and I will lead it."

  …

   "Wang Meiren's pregnancy came at the right time."

  In the East Palace, Li Jing laughed in a low voice: "You can see how happy your father is tonight."

   Wang Meiren was favored and pregnant, which was another blow to Concubine Meng. For Queen Qiao, it is very good news. The crown prince has already established, even if there is an extra prince, it will not affect Li Jing's status.

  Lu Mingyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her voice: "Wang Meiren had a good news half a month ago. The queen mother deliberately suppressed the good news for half a month, and she did a good show at the palace banquet tonight."

   So, it works best.

  Li Jing nodded clearly.

   The couple whispered a few words, then put the topic aside and teased with a pair of children. The child grows up day by day, and the little fist has strength.

  Li Jing stretched out a finger, and Sister Xuan immediately clenched it tightly. Li Jing was playful and deliberately twisted his fingers around. Sister Xuan clenched her fingers hard.

  Li Jing exclaimed with a smile: "Look at our sister Xuan, she is so powerful. When she grows up in the future, she will be born with divine power like you."

  Lu Mingyu has been by the child's side all day, naturally clear, and whispered with a smile: "My strength is probably really passed on to Sister Xuan. Brother Jue's strength is not small, but not as good as my sister."

  Li Jing didn't care and said cheerfully, "Sister Xuan would be better. No one will be able to bully our precious daughter in the future."

  Xuan grinned with a small toothless mouth.

  Li Jingle hugged his daughter reluctantly and was reluctant to let go.

  Lu Mingyu smiled, bowed his head and tapped his brother lightly with his finger: "You are the elder brother, you have to take care of the younger sister in the future."

   Brother Jue kicked his legs and babbled in his mouth, I don't know if he understood.

  …

  This New Year, the crown prince and concubine and a pair of children live in the East Palace, and the palace is also very lively.

  Queen Qiao is accompanied by her grandchildren every day, and the smile on her face is more than a day.

Empress Dowager Zhao was also full of joy, which made Wang Jieyu highly rewarded, and said to Queen Qiao: "Wang Jieyu is happy, the queen must take good care of Wang Jieyu. When a little prince is added to the palace, Aijia will also remember the queen. A credit."

   Queen Qiao replied with a smile.

  Concubine Qin Su Fei was so upset that she had to squeeze out a smile to congratulate Wang Jieyu and send congratulations by the way.

  Emperor Yongjia was in a good mood and went to Yanxi Palace.

After leaving the Yanxi Palace, Emperor Yongjia discussed with Queen Qiao: "Concubine Meng has been imprisoned for more than half a year, and she also knew that she was wrong. After the first month, I will lead the army. Let Concubine Meng also come out of the palace to meet people. !"

  The imperial court had been preparing for the battle against Yanchu for two years, and the army set off in February. Emperor Yongjia personally led the troops, and I don't know how long this battle will take.

Queen Qiao originally wanted to stop her, but when she thought of this, she became a little soft-hearted, and said after thinking about it: "Meng Fei made a big mistake, the emperor wants to let her out of the palace, and the concubine can't stop her. However, she has to apologize to Lu Shi. Apologize. And we must make a poisonous oath, and we can no longer be disgusting and malicious!"

  Emperor Yongjia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Queen Qiao's answer, and replied without saying a word: "Okay. However, this matter should not be made public. Let Concubine Meng apologize to Lu Clan in private!"

   The matter involves the face of the Tianjia, and the publicity has always been that Concubine Meng closed the palace to recuperate.

   This layer of fig leaf still has to be kept.

Queen Qiao snorted coldly in her heart, and said lightly, "Just follow the emperor's orders." The topic was soon torn aside: "The emperor will lead troops to expedition in a few days, and I don't know how long it will take to return to Beijing. This child of Wang Jieyu, The emperor is afraid that he will not be able to return to Beijing in time. The emperor should name the little prince and princess first!"

  Emperor Yongjia's attention shifted immediately, he thought for a moment and said, "If it's the little prince, it's called Li Sheng. If it's the princess, it's called Ping An."

   Queen Qiao smiled: "They are all good names."

After Emperor Yongjia left, Queen Qiao asked Lu Mingyu to come over and tell Lu Mingyu that Concubine Meng was going to leave the palace: "... Concubine Meng was restless years ago, and the emperor was patient until after the year. Gong wants to stop it."
