Seeing the unpredictable expression on King Zhong's face, Imperial Physician Chong became more and more uneasy, "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I'm willing to accept any punishment. I just ask for Your Highness's mercy and not to harm the angry minister's family."
"It has nothing to do with you." Zhao Mengqi waved his hand, "I came up with the plan, and if something went wrong during the execution, it can only be blamed on God's will. Don't worry, I won't blame you. By the way, is your son okay?"
"Thank you for your generosity, your highness, and your concern. The dog returned home safely a few days ago, and everything is fine." Dr. Chong breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little touched.
"That's good. At least I have rescued your son, and my hard work is not in vain. Okay, you can go down first. I will think about how to deal with it myself. If I still need you, I will let you know."
After dismissing Dr. Chong, Zhao Mengqi sighed and murmured, "Actually, it's not a big deal. If you can't even fight for an unborn baby, you might as well just go to bed early and talk about saving the world."
"Squeak..."
The door of the palace was pushed open without any warning, and Qian Duo, who had changed into a palace maid's clothes and had the face of a creditor, walked in sullenly.
Zhao Mengqi stared and said angrily, "Are you polite? You don't know how to knock on the door?"
Qian Duo, who was scared to death half an hour ago, found courage from nowhere, and actually came over, "There is no sound in this hall, who knew there would be someone? Besides, this is not you. Do you want me to clean up the bedroom?"
After saying that, I realized that Prince Zhong was actually naked from the waist up. His pretty face couldn't help but blush. Then he saw the medicine on his shoulder. He immediately remembered that he had bitten him. He didn't know why he felt strange in his heart, and then thought of what happened at the same time. , the feeling of shame and annoyance reappeared, and the momentum that was finally built up fell again.
Zhao Mengqi didn't notice her expression and said in surprise, "Oh, you are so brave? How dare you be so arrogant? Your dinner today is gone!"
These words made Qian Duo turn into a holy warrior again, "No, no, you can starve me to death if you can! And, to put it bluntly, I am the Qian family. I want to express my sincerity of surrender to Your Highness. I can obey your orders, but I’m not really a palace maid! So if you dare to do anything excessive, the Qian family may break up with you!"
"Well, you've actually become smarter!" Zhao Mengqi was a little surprised, "Now that you've figured it out, do what you should do and don't disturb me!"
"Hmph!" Qian Duo raised a victorious smile and happily but clumsily started to pack it up.
She had never done these things before, so she could only recall how the servants at home did things, and then raked and broomed here and there, making the whole dormitory full of noise. Zhao Mengqi couldn't bear the disturbance and couldn't calm down to think about things.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
After saying this, Zhao Mengqi decided to retreat, put on a robe and left the dormitory.
…
Ciyuan Hall.
This place seems to have become the most festive place in the entire palace. There are several times more palace maids and chambermaids running around than before, all with smiles on their faces. Just because of the big wave of Zhao Guan's family, they all received a generous reward.
Although there were more people, they seemed quieter. No matter what they were doing, everyone was tiptoeing around, handling things gently, and holding their throats even when they spoke.
In the bedroom, Concubine Yan, who was leaning on the bedside, moved her body. Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to support her nervously, "Just tell me what you want, there is no need to work yourself."
"There is no need for officials to be so nervous. I just need to adjust my posture. It doesn't matter if I do a little work, otherwise I will turn into wood."
Concubine Yan gave Zhao Guanjia a look that was both angry and charming, which actually made Zhao Guanjia feel particularly touching.
"What I'm saying makes sense, but the imperial doctor said that the fetal air is still unstable at this time, so you can't go wrong by being careful. I'll just make do with it," Zhao Guanjia said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you are right. This concubine's belly seems to hold thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. It is as heavy as a thousand stones. I don't dare to neglect it at all."
Concubine Yan sounded helpless, but in reality she was extremely proud. She didn't even know whether she was a son or a daughter, but she started to reserve a place secretly.
"Haha, in my heart, the wife has always been very important, as important as the country."
Zhao Guan's family didn't want to talk about it at this time, so they talked about it.
Concubine Yan Guifei just made some innuendoes and did not press hard. Anyway, she had plenty of stuff in her stomach, and she would never be able to escape.
So he changed the topic and said lazily, "Guan family, I suddenly remembered that I dreamed a few days ago that I was standing by a big lake and was thinking about how to cross the lake, when a fish appeared in the water. The huge black turtle carried me to the other side, and before leaving, it spit out a spiritual elixir and gave it to me. After I woke up, I still felt that I was vividly in my mind, and it was extremely real, but I didn’t think much about it at the time. If you think about it carefully, could it be that the black turtle was transformed by the True Lord Blessing Saint?"
Zhao Guan's family was shocked, "Is this happening? Is my wife's pregnancy a blessing given by the Lord Blessing Saint?"
"How do you know this concubine? But it should have some relationship with the True Lord Blessing Saint, otherwise it would be such a coincidence, I think, we can't go wrong by making more offerings to the True Lord."
Concubine Yan Guifei was very good at figuring out the psychology of the Zhao Guan family. Just a few specious words made the Zhao Guan family take notice.
Zhao Guanjia began to think deeply, and after a while he said, "Indeed, it is always good to be more diligent in worshiping the true king no matter what. I just thought that the Yousheng Palace seems to have not been repaired for many years and is already dilapidated. It is better to take this opportunity to overhaul it." After a while, it can be regarded as a hint of the true king's intention. Let me think about it and let me take charge of it."
"My official family, there is no need to think about it. Since you are offering your heart and soul, it is best to be someone close to you. I think it is better to let Dong Songchen and Lu Yunsheng host it, which can represent you and me as husband and wife." Concubine Yan Guifei said it very casually, but in fact she had deliberate intentions.
However, Zhao Guan's family didn't think much about it and felt that this idea was a good one. "My wife's words are very good. There really is no more suitable candidate than these two people. Haha, my wife is really a good housekeeper."
A project worth more than 100,000 yuan was decided with just one word, so it was terrible for the emperor to be willful, and it was even more terrible for the harem to interfere in politics.
The emperor had to consider the country at least, after all, it was about the stability of the throne, and most of the harem only cared about their own interests.
The Yousheng Palace was originally the residence of the prince, and the regulated area is not small. It needs to be repaired, but it is a big project. No matter ancient or modern, if there is a project, there will be money. Even if the person in charge is honest, the benefits will not be lost. If you are greedy, That would be equivalent to digging into a golden mountain.
Dong Songchen and Lu Yunsheng were accompanying them. When they heard the official Zhao family's decision, their hearts were filled with joy. However, they suppressed their excitement and bowed together, "Young men, you must be sincere in your work and live up to the trust of the official family and the noble concubine. You will definitely let me." The Yousheng Palace has regained its splendor, and the pious hearts of the officials and concubines are presented to the throne of the true king, hoping that the true king will protect the dragon son's health."
Zhao Guanjia nodded, "As long as you two complete this matter well, a reward will be indispensable."
When the two heard this, they were even more happy. They were getting rich and promoted, and they quickly thanked him.
Seeing that Zhao Guan's family was in a good mood, Concubine Yan added, "This time I am pregnant with a dragon seed. It is not only the blessing of my ancestors, but also the blessing of the gods. However, it is also indispensable for the contributions of several ministers."
"Oh?" Zhao Guanjia was a little puzzled, "I know the merits of Imperial Physician Chong, how come there are other ministers who have merits?"
"The officials don't know that there is a magical elixir in the prescription of Dr. Chong. Although it is not valuable, it is extremely rare. Thanks to Ding Daquan who found it in time, both Dr. Chong and Ding Daquan have made great contributions."
"Ding Daquan? How can he, a foreign minister, know what medicine my wife needs?"
"Have the officials forgotten? My wet nurse is his wife. I mentioned it to my parents before, so I didn't have high hopes. Unexpectedly, after Ding Daquan heard about it, he was very attentive, and he actually found him. ”
Zhao Guanjia suddenly realized, "So it turns out that Ding Daquan is a loyal person. Well, it happens that the censor is vacant, so I just promoted him to the post and added him as a censor to repay his merit."
Concubine Yan's plan succeeded and she smiled charmingly, "The official is a wise man!"
