Chapter 483 The pain of deceiving comes to an end 31
Xue Pinggui was so noisy that his head hurt. When these ministers encountered issues of interest, they would quarrel with each other to the point of turning the world upside down.
"Report~" someone shouted outside, holding a plate with a bamboo tube in both hands and bringing it in.
It was only when important urgent messages were delivered to the court.
The motor standing below took the plate and brought it up. Xue Pinggui picked up the bamboo tube and unscrewed the lid. When the lid was turned, the sealing wax on it was unscrewed.
Xue Pinggui opened the bamboo tube and poured out a rolled piece of paper, and read it.
What was written? The courtiers all looked at him curiously. Often one thing, one letter can change the entire situation.
After Xue Pinggui read it, he immediately became happy and clapped his hands on the throne: "My queen, I will give birth to a prince for you!"
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty on the birth of Longzi..." Every courtier was full of compliments, but felt bitter in their hearts. I know that Queen Wang is returning to her hometown to visit relatives. Since when were you pregnant with a child? She also gave birth to the dragon son first, now it's good, everyone can rest, the phoenix seal belongs to the queen.
Xue Pinggui made a decision immediately: "The Queen is the master of the East Palace. Before returning, Concubine Shu and Concubine De will jointly take charge of Feng Yin and handle the affairs of the palace. That's it!"
All the ministers had no choice but to kneel down: "Long live my emperor!"
The so-called shielding means falling into a coma. Xining fell asleep as soon as he had some reaction. When he woke up, it was already two hours later. The body owner's mother, Mrs. Chen, was waiting beside her. She said it was a baby boy and asked the wet nurse to carry him over to feed him.
Rich people hire wet nurses. On the one hand, they can make themselves less tired; on the other hand, they can take good care of their health as soon as possible so that they can get pregnant again sooner.
After one day, the baby was nursed back, and Xining was too tired to rest. The baby was left to the wet nurse to take care of, and he sat up for confinement.
Lying in bed all day, either eating or sleeping, is a hard life. Moreover, Mrs. Chen would not let her get out of bed, saying that she would get confinement syndrome if she got out of bed.
Before I was out of confinement, a letter from Xiliang came. Not only the letter, but also 20,000 taels of silver notes were included with it.
Xue Pinggui expressed the pain of missing her and wanted to see her and her children. Then she said that Dai Zan died of illness and there was no one in charge in the palace... This was the first letter she received since returning to the Tang Dynasty. Xue Pinggui has been busy these past few months, so he never has time to think of her.
If she hadn't given birth to a child, she could have been left for about 18 years.
Mrs. Chen was naturally happy after seeing her. What an honor it would be for her daughter to go back and become the queen. Start nagging, take the child back to Xiliang and become the queen after confinement.
No matter, don’t care, don’t go!
Mo Ming: "Erase!"
Okay, think about it, at least give birth to your confinement first, right?
After the New Year, the confinement period came. Xining said the child is young, wait a minute.
Spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The children are still young. Wait a little longer and at least bear fruit for a hundred days... It is a good time to enjoy peach blossoms. The beautiful scenery of West Lake in Jiangnan is a must-see.
In summer, the weather is hot, the children are still young, and the journey is far away. I might not be able to bear it until after summer... I pick lotus leaves and lotus flowers on a boat by the lake, and enjoy the wind blowing from the lake. My whole body feels much cooler.
Autumn... No, the child is already half a year old, why hasn't he returned to Xiliang to become the queen? In such an era of inconvenient transportation, and Xining's hidden residence, all letters were conveyed through Wang Chong. Xiliang's letters are returned two or three times a month, and I have been urged seventeen or eight times.
Mo Ming: "Are you going to Xiliang or not?"
"We'll go there after eating hairy crabs in the autumn." Xining lazily ate the chicken thighs of the lotus leaf chicken. There were fish just caught from the lake on the table, plus a pot of rice wine with plum blossoms. Gods are all here these days. Don’t change.
You have to wait until winter comes and the cold wind blows, then the hairy crabs will be the most plump! In winter, it would be beautiful to eat mutton pot around the stove, look at the snowy scenery, and fold a few wintersweets.
Mo Ming...: "Erase!" Xining was very helpless: "Go, can you go? I will leave when the next letter comes."
Upon returning to the house, the maid handed over a letter from Xiliang.
Xi Ning... you idiot, why are you writing letters so diligently?
I saw Wang Baochuan's letter and said he was leaving for Xiliang. Xue Pinggui breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally coming back.
Xining got off the carriage, and Xue Pinggui and his ministers greeted him at the door.
When Queen Wang got out of the carriage, everyone was stunned. Is this the old, dry, yellow-faced woman?
After raising it for nearly a year, Xi Ning has become fat by eating and drinking delicious food every day. Fortunately, under the influence of the Tang Dynasty, fatness was regarded as beauty. Without a few kilograms of meat on the body, one could not be considered a beauty, so she felt more confident and bold in eating.
My skin becomes white and tender after eating it, and I eat bird's nest and ginseng every day, so my wrinkles are smoothed out.
Look in the mirror and you are back to at least ten years ago.
Xue Pinggui was almost going crazy with joy when he saw the white, tender and youthful Queen Wang and the handsome prince.
Back at Zhaoyangyuan, a group of concubines were already waiting.
After sitting on the phoenix chair, the concubines lined up according to their rank and all knelt down to salute.
"Get up, sit down, and serve tea!" Xining looked around and saw that Xue Pinggui was not idle at all. He counted about twenty people, and he filled up quickly enough.
She saw Linglong: "Linglong, you have finally been sealed. What have you been sealed for?"
Linglong quickly stood up and replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, she is a beauty. My surname is Sun."
"Oh, Beauty Sun." Xining pretended to be an old fool and recalled: "When I left, you seemed to be pregnant. The child was born, right? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a boy, but he died after birth." Sun Meiren bit her lip with her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.
"That's a pity!" Xining waved his hand: "Hurry up and sit down."
Sun Meiren sat down and lowered her head. If the child hadn't died at birth, and the mother is more valuable than the child, her title would be more than just a beauty. She got pregnant before everyone else, so she gave birth first. But the birth turned out to be a stillbirth. At that time, her liver and intestines were severely damaged, and she fainted from crying on the spot. Xue Pinggui thought that it was not easy for her to give birth, and she had been secretive before, thinking that she had been a beauty in the past.
Xining comforted: "You are still young and so beautiful, and you will be again in the future."
"Yes, empress!" Sun Meiren lowered her head, trying hard not to let the queen see her tears.
Xining turned to ask others: "Who else has given birth to children, and how many are currently pregnant?"
There were a total of twelve pregnancies, but only six gave birth to children. In addition to Sun Meiren, two others got sick and died before they were a hundred days old, and three are still alive. They are from the family of Zhao Guogong, the family of Prime Minister Zhou, and the family of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
Xi Ning sneered secretly in her heart, palace battles will always exist, and there will be endless battles.
Concubine Zhou De smiled, not seeing her for a year, as if she had become much older: "Since the Queen has returned to the palace, the phoenix seal should be returned to the Queen."
"Exactly, exactly!" Concubine Zhao Shu quickly agreed, fearing that it would be too late.
Xi Ning quickly waved her hand: "No, you two are doing a good job, so just keep on doing it. I will be happy and free!" Don't ask her to take care of such nonsense, she just wants to eat and drink and be a leisure queen.
