Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 297 Are you willing to help me?
The two days of Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival are the days when the Yan court and people worship their ancestors.

During the Cold Food Festival, people do not open the stove, eat cold food, and worship ancestors. The folk customs are relatively simple.

But in the royal family, people have been busy since early morning. They first go to the imperial mausoleum and the imperial temple to pay homage to their ancestors, and then burn incense and worship the city god.

On this day, all civil and military officials would enter the palace, and they would also bring their families. Now Ling Wangjun Yu Yan was in charge of political affairs, and he was also responsible for ancestor worship. As Princess Ling, Murong Jiu had to receive these female family members.

Women were not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum and the imperial temple, and only the queen of a country could enter to pay homage.

Thanks to this, Murong Jiu didn't need to get up too early with Jun Yuyan, but this was relatively speaking. She also got up earlier than usual, wearing very heavy princess clothes.

However, whether it was because of the nightmare last night, Murong Jiu felt very tired, and that indescribable feeling of panic still lingered in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the fourth prince noticed that she looked bad just after arriving here.

Is it so obvious?
Murong Jiu thought to herself that she specifically asked Chuntao to put rouge on her face in the morning to make her complexion look better. She also had lipstick on her mouth, so it shouldn't be so obvious.

and……

The fourth prince clearly looked concerned, so why did she feel a sense of disobedience in her heart?

To be honest, she had very little contact with the fourth prince. Every time she met, they were always in the palace.

In her impression, the fourth prince was a cautious and mediocre prince. The second prince once commented on him - indecisive, talentless and incompetent.

In the previous life, although the fourth prince surrendered to the second prince very early, he still made a mistake under the second prince's scheme and was thrown by the emperor to a remote and poor place to work as an idle prince.

Maybe it was because he didn't have a good rest. Murong Jiu didn't think much and thanked the fourth prince:
"Thank you for your concern, His Highness Prince Jing. It won't be a problem."

Hearing this, the fourth prince nodded and stepped aside politely.

Of course, the second prince couldn't come for today's sacrifice. The third prince could come, but he didn't show up on the pretext of recovering from illness.

The emperor was still seriously ill and the queen was grounded, so it fell on Jun Yuyan to preside over the sacrifice, while the fourth prince played a supporting role.

Jun Yuyan was too busy to move away and looked over from time to time.

Murong Jiu didn't want him to worry, so she cheered up. Fortunately, although her clothes were heavy, she wasn't too tired with Hongyi and Chuntao by her side.

The fourth prince was as inconspicuous as before, and seemed to have little sense of presence.

It was a busy day before returning to the palace until sunset. Murong Jiu fell asleep. Maybe he was too tired, but he no longer had nightmares.

After a good night's sleep, her complexion returned to its original state, and Jun Yuyan felt relieved.

The second day of Qingming Festival is actually much easier than the first day. The sacrifice is only half a day, and the remaining half day has now developed into an outing activity. The dignitaries and common people in the capital will gather together to break willows, play on swings, fight cocks, and hunt. Polo, kite flying, etc.

Jun Yuyan also took Murong Jiu to fly a kite in the palace instead of going to the river embankment or the suburbs to join in the fun.

The two children also have kites, but they are wood-carved kites, carved by Jun Yuyan himself. They are polished to be very smooth and cute, and the little guys can hold them in their hands for a while.

Murong Jiu couldn't bring up much interest, so Jun Yuyan took her to relax for a while and then accompanied her back to Qiyun Courtyard.

"Ajiu, the dream you had is the same as the one you had before? Do you need me to invite Master Huijue?"

Jun Yuyan's eyes were filled with concern.

With the same concerned look, Jun Yuyan looked normal, but the Fourth Prince looked strange. Wait, why did she still think of the Fourth Prince?

Murong Jiu shook his head to get rid of the strange thoughts in his head, and said to Jun Yuyan:

"Perhaps the sunflower water is approaching, so I will feel a little tired. I should rest for two days and I will be fine. Besides, I can't remember what was in my dream, so there is no need to invite Master Huijue. The journey is too long." Then, she shook the Buddhist beads in her hand and joked: "As long as I have the soul-soothing beads given to me by the master, no evil spirit dares to approach me!"

This is also true. Since she put on the beads, she has never had a dream about her past life, but she can't remember what she dreamed about yesterday.

Jun Yuyan went to see Divine Doctor Zhai and came back with a bowl of soothing soup.

Murong Jiu no longer had nightmares in the next few days, her spirits improved significantly, and the weirdness of that day was forgotten.

She was teasing Xiao Jin Xiaoyu with a rattle when she suddenly heard that Concubine Qin asked her to come to the palace to see a doctor. It turned out that she was frightened by a wild cat and had fetal contractions.

Murong Jiu glanced at the sky: "Why at this point, the palace is about to lose its key."

Jun Yuyan walked quickly from the study and told the housekeeper directly that he had accepted the order and would go back tomorrow.

Butler Lin was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the person who is here to convey the order is your majesty's steward. It seems that this is not only Concubine Qin's wish, but also your majesty's wish. I'm afraid it will be difficult to refuse."

As expected, not long after Butler Lin came here, a servant came again, saying that the chief steward couldn't wait any longer and wanted to come to Qiyun Court in person to invite the princess.

It seems that he will not give up until he is invited to the palace.

Since you can't refuse, then go ahead. You can't keep refusing and anger the emperor.

Murong Jiu changed her clothes, and Jun Yuyan accompanied her into the palace.

When I met the father-in-law named Chen, he smiled and said: "It's really our family's fault to disturb the prince and princess at such a late hour. It's just that Concubine Qin has fetal gas. Princess, you have experience in childbirth and have superb medical skills. Concubine Qin just wants you to see how far behind those medical women are compared to you."

Jun Yuyan said coldly: "Isn't Divine Doctor Miao still in the palace? Why not let Divine Doctor Miao see me?"

"It just so happened that the third prince was not feeling well, so Miracle Doctor Miao went to Prince Rui's Mansion. Besides, Miracle Doctor Miao is a man and it would be inconvenient for him to see Concubine Qin."

The two of them walked into the palace without saying anything more and arrived outside Concubine Qin's palace.

Jun Yuyan was a foreigner and it was difficult to go in. Murong Jiu carried the medicine box and followed Eunuch Chen in.

Two maids who looked like they were from the Western Regions came over and said, "Princess, please come in quickly. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

The other said to Eunuch Chen: "Thank you for your hard work. Your Majesty is feeling tired and will go back first. You can go back and do your work as soon as possible."

As he said this, he took a purse and stuffed it into his father-in-law's hand.

Eunuch Chen smiled and bowed to Murong Jiu before leaving.

Murong Jiu walked quickly to Concubine Qin's bedroom without changing her expression. Concubine Qin was lying on the bed at the moment. She had not applied makeup, but her face was still rosy, and her facial features were deep and gorgeous. She straightened up with a smile:

"Princess Ling, you are finally here. I was very frightened today. Can you help me check if there is any fetal fluid?"

Murong Jiu asked: "Did you see red?"

"Never."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that our queen was frightened and the fetus had some abnormal movements. However, after resting for such a long time, she is much better now than before."

A palace maid said, speaking fluent Chinese.

Murong Jiu took Concubine Qin's pulse seriously, but Concubine Qin looked at her and whispered: "Princess Ling, are you willing to help me?"
