Because the funeral was a dignified event, all the royal family members went to pay their respects, but Leng Xiao refused to go because he was feeling unwell.
The weather was getting hot, so Ape made her a bowl of sour plum soup. After drinking it, she felt that her whole body was in good health, and she needed to drink some of this sour soup to feel comfortable.
There is still no reaction, except for the occasional feeling of nausea in the stomach, which is within the tolerable range.
I ate less, but the weather was hot and no one was suspicious of my poor appetite.
She picked up needlework again, and when she learned how to do it, she could make a small dress for the child in her belly.
Ape was talking to her about things in the palace, "I heard from people around the emperor that Princess Qing begged to go to the nunnery, but the emperor finally refused. When she finally spoke, her expression became much gentler."
"Yeah!" Leng Xiao smiled faintly, "It's a bitter trick to force out the emperor's father-daughter love for her."
"Yes, and due to other factors, he did not send Princess Luo Qing." Ape said, but felt unfair in his heart, "The emperor is too partial. This time Princess Qing went out to find those medicines for Concubine Hui, and gave birth to that You are a freak and even killed Concubine Hui, but he didn't do anything about it. You didn't do anything wrong, Crown Princess, but they always target you. I even have to tell you that you didn't go to say hello. I really feel aggrieved for you."
Leng Xiao smiled and said, "What's there to be aggrieved about? They have always had the status of father and daughter, and they have been raised under their knees since childhood."
"Princess, you are so generous."
Leng Xiao laughed, what can I do if I'm not generous? Rush to the emperor and ask him why he prefers one to another?
Moreover, as she said, when the emperor was not an emperor, but just a father, he had some father-daughter feelings for the Qing princess.
Moreover, Princess Qing was absolutely respectful to the emperor no matter what she felt in her heart.
Or, as an emperor, he is used to being conceited, so how can he think deeply about the thoughts behind the princess? Anyway, in his eyes, he can control anyone's fate.
At this juncture, he must also be angry. The woman he has doted on for so many years has never loved him in the end. Not to mention that he is an emperor, even an ordinary man will be angry.
After the funeral of Concubine Hui, the palace was like a pool of stagnant water, and the queen was unable to recover from her illness. Although the concubines were happy in their hearts, they had to show grief on the surface. Therefore, the atmosphere in the palace was very depressed, and this depression even spread to the public. Arrive at the East Palace.
Leng Xiao goes there every day to say hello, says a few words and then comes back, and then acts like a virtuous and gentle mother, serving the children's meals.
However, when she was cooking in the past two days, she felt a little nauseous and couldn't smell the fumes, so she used the excuse that she was feeling unwell and stopped cooking. She also made a reasonable excuse for her lack of appetite.
It's not that she's careless, it's that not everyone in the East Palace can trust her.
And most importantly, she believed that the Queen Mother might not want her to get pregnant again.
But things finally happened. After the death of Concubine Hui, because of the lackluster atmosphere in the palace, the Empress Dowager felt that something happy should be held. Therefore, she personally sent a message to choose another good girl for the prince to enrich the East Palace. It would be better to give birth to younger siblings to Si Nian as soon as possible.
The emperor had originally given instructions to the queen about this matter, but after the queen met Leng Xiao with Concubine Hui that day, she suppressed the matter and always wanted to help Leng Xiao delay it.
Therefore, after the Empress Dowager spoke, the Empress went to apologize to the Empress Dowager with a smile and said that if she was afraid of being lonely this year, she could ask the imperial doctor to adjust the princess's body so that she could become pregnant as soon as possible.
The purpose of saying these words is also to help Leng Xiao delay for another year or two, so that the young couple can live their own lives.
After all, having a legitimate son or daughter, and bringing new people into the palace, would be considered as a kindness to Leng Xiao.
