The newly appointed Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was still from Jiang Yankun. He told Jiang Yankun that this time Princess Lihua of Goguryeo, one of the four vassal states, also came with the envoy.
After Jiang Yankun told Jiang Xinyue the news, she didn't understand for a while. What happened to the princess of Goguryeo? What's so special?
She didn't take the princess to heart, and forgot about it because another thing made her more concerned.
She is pregnant again.
The lotus pond in front of Xihe Hall has been filled in. Xihe Hall is now renamed Qingyang Palace. I heard that the emperor himself mentioned the word "Yang".
The filled lotus pond was filled with roses. When Jiang Xinyue saw it, she couldn't help complaining in her heart: The emperor is keen on planting flowers. He should be the one who plants the flowers that the concubine he favors. The most outstanding gardener in the palace!
When the large roses are in full bloom, it will probably be March next year, the time of the triennial draft.
The entrance to Qingyang Palace will become a popular attraction.
But it had nothing to do with Jiang Xinyue. The arrival of the little one in her belly delayed the time when the emperor wanted to hold the canonization ceremony.
Emperor Xuanwu patted her belly lightly before she was pregnant and immediately touched it again: "You little thing, it would be better if you wait a few days. I have finally finished my work, and you are here again. Let your mother How can the concubine’s body cope with this?”
Imperial Physician Yan once said that Jiang Xinyue had a cold body and it was extremely difficult to conceive. At that time, she had to wait for a year and a half to give birth to her first child.
It is indispensable that he works hard every night.
This time I had my second child so soon, so I had to be careful and careful not to let her suffer a little bit or suffer a little bit of fatigue, otherwise it would be easy for her to have a miscarriage.
Jiang Xinyue thought it was nothing. Concubine De, a little expert in abortion, was no longer offline. Concubine Wen in the harem, Concubine Yu, Ye Guiren, and Concubine Zhuang, who came out to expose Concubine De's crimes this time, were all Jiang Xinyue's people. Who would harm her?
It should be said, who else dares to harm her?
Oh, by the way, there is also Cheng Jieyu, I actually forgot about her.
She has been so quiet recently that Jiang Xinyue had forgotten about this person.
If a child is quiet, he must be acting like a monster. The same saying applies to Cheng Jieyu, a naughty child.
"Where's the pigeon soup I asked the imperial kitchen to stew? Is it ready?"
When Jiang Xinyue was pregnant with the sixth prince, the emperor had seen her reaction.
She vomited whatever she ate, and she was so thin that she was reduced to skin and bones. This time, he had to keep an eye on her meals no matter what. Losing even one kilogram would be regarded as his incompetence as a husband.
"Drinking pigeon soup again?"
Jiang Xinyue pursed her lips: "Your Majesty, this concubine is almost drunk to the point of becoming pigeon spirit. If you don't believe me, just listen... cluck, cluck..."
Emperor Xuanwu was amused by her cute look: "Cluck is a chicken, pigeons are cuckoo..."
"It turns out that the emperor was transformed from a pigeon."
Jiang Xinyue shook her little head proudly: "No wonder I let my concubine eat pigeons all day long!"
She deliberately imitated the crow of a rooster and asked the emperor to imitate the crow of a dove.
The emperor was even dumbfounded. He grabbed her and held her in his arms. The smell of happiness filled the entire Hexi Palace.
Shuangjiang and Magpie looked at each other and exited the flower hall with light steps.
Tang Shiliang followed the emperor's order and brought out the pigeon soup that the imperial concubine wanted to drink in the imperial dining room: "General Manager Gao, you have been keeping watch and haven't left!"
"No."
Gao Yuchu shook his head: "But for the sake of your safety, you should test the poison before eating it!"
If someone poisoned the ingredients in advance, he would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.
Tang Shiliang raised his hand, grabbed a white mouse from a small box, took a small spoonful of the soup from the stew pot, and poured it in front of the white mouse. The white mouse licked the table clean after smelling it.
After waiting for a moment, but the mouse didn't respond, Tang Shiliang put away the box and left.
Since the last time Zhang Meiren poisoned the emperor, and Wang Dequan was also poisoned, the emperor did not allow him to test the poison, and instead used mice instead of humans.
Wang Dequan was extremely moved by this. The emperor was afraid that something would happen to him, so he changed the rules passed down by his ancestors!
Could this pigeon soup be a chronic poison, used to harm the child in her belly?
When Tang Shiliang walked out of the imperial dining room, he seemed to be suffering from paranoia and kept thinking wildly.
If you hesitate at this thought, you will be wasted.
"Wow!"
"Who are you? Why are you climbing the wall? Stop!"
Walking to a palace, a figure wearing a dark red cloak with his face covered appeared on the palace wall, and under the palace wall, there were two guards standing on the ground.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the hat of the red cloak fell down, revealing a face that made Tang Shiliang afraid.
The palace attendants behind him even shouted: "Concubine De... Concubine De... Concubine De... Empress De Concubine has faked her corpse!!"
Fake corpse?
Emperor Xuanwu sat up suddenly from his chair: "Tang Shiliang, are you sure you are seeing Concubine De?"
Tang Shiliang nodded with a worried look on his face: "It's absolutely true, not only the slave saw it, but also those who went to the imperial dining room saw it."
But because they made too much noise, Concubine De was frightened and she fell directly from the palace wall. The two guards also ran away quickly.
By the time they chased them to the other side of the palace wall, Concubine De's figure had disappeared.
"Bang!"
"You actually changed things under my nose, great! How brave you are!"
Emperor Xuanwu made a fist with his fingers and hit the small tea table. The loud noise made Jiang Xinyue was startled. The emperor patted her, his eyes softened and said: "Stay well in Hexi Palace until you find Concubine De." , can’t be away from others.”
Concubine De is already a terminal madman, and she might be able to do something.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wen and Concubine Yu are outside asking to see you."
"Let them in."
The emperor felt that the more people around Jiang Xinyue at this time, the better. Concubine Wen and the others came at the right time.
Jiang Xinyue raised her hand: "No, Your Majesty, Concubine De faked her death and escaped, but she has been lurking in the palace for so long. It is clear that she came for my concubine. She wants my life, and will stay here if she can't find a chance." In the palace, this is too dangerous, I can lure her out."
"no!"
The emperor directly objected: "You also said that she is dangerous. I will not allow you to do such a dangerous thing. You are still pregnant with a child. What if..."
He couldn't even imagine it.
"Let me come!"
Yu Concubine had already heard their words outside the door: "I heard a maid in Shun'an Palace say that Concubine De seemed to be alive, which frightened Tang Shiliang so much. Although my appearance is not one ten thousandth like that of the Imperial Concubine, But my concubine’s body shape is most similar to that of the empress, so let me lure the concubine to appear.”
"What Concubine Yu said makes sense, let her come."
This time Emperor Xuanwu quickly agreed.
Concubine Yu rolled her eyes and almost rolled her eyes to the sky: You are taking my life as a favor!
She is the royal concubine, not the dog emperor. He is really very capable.
