Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 501

  Compared to the liveliness of the Yu Family and the Third Prince's Mansion, the reaction in the palace was much more dull.

   The first few princes and concubines were all generals and ladies with prominent backgrounds. Princess Jing'an, Princess Hui'an's concubine, is also a talented person in the capital.

   It is not unusual for Li Chang to marry a daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

   Empress Dowager Zhao and Queen Qiao rewarded the five princes respectively, and the rest of the palace concubines also congratulated and congratulated, and this matter has passed.

  The wedding date is set for May of the following year, and there is still half a year left, which is enough to prepare for the marriage.

   The responsibility of taking care of the marriage naturally falls on Queen Qiao's body.

   The Fifth Prince's Mansion is about to be cleaned up and the dowry is to be prepared. It is the end of the year and the palace affairs are busy. When Queen Qiao is busy, her body can't bear it, and she falls ill soon.

   Queen Qiao's illness requires someone to take charge of the palace affairs.

   Concubine Meng and Concubine Qin were about to move.

   One automatically invited the tassel in front of Emperor Yongjia, and the other blew in the ear of Empress Dowager Zhao, all wanting to "share the worries" for Queen Qiao.

   However, before Emperor Yongjia and Empress Dowager Zhao could open their mouths, Crown Princess Lu Mingyu had already stepped forward and sat in Jiaofang Hall every day to take care of palace affairs on her behalf.

   Concubine Meng was unhappy, and she had to apply eye drops in front of Emperor Yongjia: "Prince Concubine is pregnant, so she should feel at ease to raise the baby. With such hard work, what should I do if the fetal gas is moved?"

   "The queen can't trust the concubine, and the concubine has nothing to say. Even if it is to let Concubine Qin or Wang Jieyu assist in palace affairs, it is much better than the concubine."

  Emperor Yongjia frowned.

However, Emperor Yongjia had not been in the Jiaofang Palace for nearly a month, and he did not want to quarrel again with Queen Qiao over this trivial matter, and said casually: "The Queen will not be sick all the time, and it will be better in a few days. Lu It's okay to hold on for a few days."

Seeing the impatience on Emperor Yongjia's face, Concubine Meng had to swallow the words that came to her lips, and instead asked for an errand for the eldest prince: "...Although Ayi's right leg is not very convenient, she also wants to be a difference for the emperor. In the future, he will always leave the capital and become a vassal one day. To be a vassal king in one place, he must not be ignorant of political affairs."

  Emperor Yongjia had favored the eldest prince for more than ten years, and he was a little embarrassed when he mentioned the first prince's lame leg.

   He thought for a moment and said, "Before I let them work in the Sixth Division. Now he has injured his leg, and the Ministry of War is not suitable for the Ministry of Punishment. Just go to the Ministry of Housing!"

  The youngest son of the noble noble book of the household department is the consort of Princess Jing'an.

   With this relationship, the eldest prince entered the household department, and it was convenient to get along with the noble book.

   Concubine Meng was overjoyed and thanked Emperor Yongjia.

  Emperor Yongjia looked at Concubine Meng's excited and happy smiling face, and felt a little bored in his heart.

  I used to be petted and petted, put it in my heart and held it in the palm of my hand. I don't know since when, this face is getting old day by day, and he is getting tired of looking at it.

   In the harem, Wang Jieyu is docile and pleasant, but after seeing her for a long time, she has lost her freshness.

  Emperor Yongjia had dinner and left Yanxi Palace on the pretext of reviewing the memorial.

   Eunuch Liu is the best at trying to figure out the master's mind, glanced at the emperor's face, and said in a low voice: "It's so late, the emperor might as well go to Fanghua Palace to sit, and the memorial will be approved tomorrow."

  Emperor Yongjia said, "No need, I will go back to Wenhua Hall."

   Eunuch Liu stopped.

  …

   The next day, Jiaofang Hall.

  Lu Mingyu is nearly three months pregnant, and her lower abdomen has slightly bulged. Wearing a loose dress, it doesn't show at all.

  This pregnancy is healthy, it is extraordinarily tossing people. Lu Mingyu felt nauseous from time to time, his heart was very angry, and his temper also grew. At this time, she was sitting on the chair, her face slightly dark.

   A manager with unclear accounts happened, and he scolded the two clerks for being slack. The rest of the people were silent and didn't dare to breathe.

  It will be an hour later when the palace affairs are finished.

   All the stewards saluted and retired, walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, and invariably breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite fortunate that they had escaped the catastrophe.

   After the princess became pregnant, her temper became more and more serious. I've had to be more cautious lately on errands.

   "Niangniang, don't get angry," Qiyun said with a cup of chrysanthemum tea: "Drink some tea to clear the heat."

  Lu Mingyu calmed down, took the tea, and took a sip. The warm tea has a faint aroma, the entrance is sweet, and the burning heart fire slowly subsides.

   "I'm almost turning into a cannonball," Lu Mingyu laughed and laughed at himself: "With a little spark, it can explode."

  Qiyun pursed her lips and smiled, jokingly said: "The lady is so powerful, where would you need Mars."

  Lu Mingyu gave Qiyun a white smile, and then sighed helplessly: "I also know that my temper has been unstable recently, and I thought about restraining it. But I can't help it."

   You really don't need sparks, and you're about to ignite.

  Qiyun held back her smile and comforted her master: "It's nothing. Empress is pregnant and her temper is different from the past. Everyone knows it and will be considerate."

   Not to mention the palace servants, even the Crown Prince has to be careful when he speaks recently.

  Lu Mingyu touched his stomach: "I have a hunch that I have a bad-tempered son in my stomach."

   Qiyun was amused and kept laughing.

   Sister Jue, who was playing outside, came over hand in hand, glanced at her mother, and immediately walked away again.

  Lu Mingyu: "..."

  The palace staff covered their mouths and laughed.

  Lu Mingyu got angry and got up suddenly. Qiyun was taken aback, and immediately said: "What is the maiden doing? The two little princes are still young, madam, please don't do anything to them."

  Lu Mingyu was speechless: "When did I say I was going to beat them? I got up because I had been sitting for a long time and wanted to move my hands and feet."

  Qiyun hurriedly came over with a smile and supported Lu Mingyu's arm: "The slave maid helped the empress out."

The palace servant beside    secretly pursed his lips and smiled.

  The Crown Princess was angry from time to time, like a cat frying. She was fierce and cute, and she was not cute. At this time, only Qiyun can appease the master.

  Lu Mingyu got up and turned around and went to Queen Qiao's bedroom.

   Princess Hui'an was also there, holding a bowl and waiting for Queen Qiao to drink medicine. The mother and daughter didn't know what they were talking about, but Lu Mingyu naturally stopped when he came.

  Lu Mingyu didn't ask much.

   It is common sense for mother and daughter to speak some private whispers and not want to be heard. If she wants to talk, she doesn't have to ask. Since she didn't say it, she would be too indifferent and disgusting to ask the truth.

After drinking the medicine, Queen Qiao asked Lu Mingyu with a smile: "I heard that you have had a few more seizures today, and you didn't do a good job, so just open your mouth to reprimand. However, don't take it to heart, let alone hurt your fetus for these slaves. ."

  Lu Mingyu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I know what I know."

   Princess Hui'an smiled and teased: "Thank you for knowing that, otherwise, instead of reprimanding, you would beat people."

  Lu Mingyu: "..."

   Amidst the laughter in the room, Brother Jue and Sister Xuan ran in happily: "What are you laughing at?"

   "I want to hear it too, I also want to laugh."

   After saying this, everyone laughed even more.
