Chapter 284
Wen Wan always thought it was a charming guest from somewhere, but unexpectedly it turned out to be Concubine Duan who was rumored to be suffering from a serious illness and was ordered by the emperor to be sent to the Rehe Palace to rest in isolation.

She glanced at the other party, and at the same time her eyes were complicated, she did not forget to kneel down with her in-laws and bow to the concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan came forward, looked down at the family kneeling on the ground, with a kind smile on her face, "The emperor would think of using this method to let me raise a baby outside, and it is also out of respect for the emperor's heirs." In consideration of safety, I am afraid that in the next six months or so, I will disturb your family a lot."

As soon as Concubine Duan explained, Wen Wan understood everything in an instant.

The so-called 'sickness of the body' and the so-called 'isolation and rest' are all pretense to deceive Queen Su. Everything is just because Concubine Duan is pregnant. Emperor Guangxi was worried that Queen Su would be unfavorable to the emperor's heir, so he thought about it Such a golden cicada's method of escaping her shell was to send Concubine Duan to the Rehe Palace, but in fact she found a substitute to stay five hundred miles away for her, and then brought the real Concubine Duan back under her nose to raise her.

Song Wei got close to Emperor Guangxi, Concubine Duan was raising a baby in the Song family, one was safe, outsiders would never expect it, and two, Emperor Guangxi could know the movements of this beloved concubine at any time.

Thinking of this, Wen Wan had no choice but to give the emperor a thumbs up in her heart.

At the same time, I was also secretly startled, the palace was indeed not a place for ordinary people to stay, to give birth to a child, and to be surrounded by wolves from the day of conception.

If it is said that getting pregnant depends on luck, then being able to survive until the end and give birth smoothly is either the blessing of the Bodhisattva or the means are too high.

Compared with the gentle and calm, the mother-in-law was obviously frightened.

Although he had heard Saburo mentioning the emperor all the time before, and knew that his son was someone who had frequent contact with the emperor, but he listened too much, and it was inevitable that he would become numb.

It was the first time for Mrs. Song to come into contact with a living person in the palace, and she didn't know how to react at all.

In addition, she complained about this "distinguished guest" in her heart because of the arrangement of the room before, and now she knows that he is the emperor's favorite concubine. The shock and impact made her unable to calm down.

Wen Wan could see that her mother-in-law was probably scared to death, and after Concubine Duan let her down, she bent down to help her.

Song Pozi stood up tremblingly, her legs were still weak.

Sensing that the nobleman was looking at her, Mrs. Song was even more afraid to raise her head.

She was really guilty, and at the same time, she was glad that she hadn't said something too harsh or harsh, otherwise she would really have caused a disaster to her son if it reached the nobleman's ears.

Song Wei asked if the room was ready.

Wen Wan said that it had been prepared a few days ago, and she could move in at any time. After speaking, she personally led Concubine Duan to the west chamber.

The layout of this room, for the Song family with average conditions, is already very rich and powerful. However, after the two maids saw it, they couldn't help frowning, obviously not up to the standard that would satisfy them.

One of the palace maids said: "Your Majesty, stay here first. After a few days, the slaves and servants will go out to buy more for you."

Concubine Duan didn't think there was anything wrong, she sat down and looked at the two of them, "Do you know why the emperor asked me to come to the Song family?"

The maid replied: "The emperor hopes that the empress can have a clean place to raise her baby."

Concubine Duan smiled, "What is purity?"

Seeing that the maid could not answer, she no longer felt embarrassed, and waved her hand and said: "I am pregnant with a dragon's heir, so it is only natural to be demanding on food. As for the furnishings in the room, follow the layout of the Song family. , no need to add any more."

"Your servant will obey your mother's orders." The two maids squatted down together, not daring to complain any more.

After that, the two retreated, one boiled hot water for the empress to soak her feet, and the other prepared to cook a bowl of bird's nest porridge for the empress.

Concubine Duan raised her eyes to Wen Wan, who had been standing silently beside her, with a gentle expression, "Mistress Song, don't be restrained, sit down!"

Wen Wan didn't sit down, and said in a low voice: "I didn't know that it was the empress who came here, the room is a little rough, and the empress will live in it first, if there is something wrong, just bring it up, the minister will try her best to make changes according to the empress's preferences."

Concubine Duan chuckled, "Since I came here to take refuge to raise a baby, I have to follow the rules outside more or less. If everything is according to my preference, it's better to go back to the palace and enjoy it."

What's more, even if she really changed it according to her preferences, it was too far behind the Song family's conditions.

Wen Wan understood what Concubine Duan meant - the Song family is a small family, if you add too many valuables, it will inevitably attract the suspicion of outsiders. Will be exposed.

After studying in Hongwen Museum for nearly a year, her gentle temperament is much more cheerful than before, and she doesn't feel the slightest restraint when talking with a noble person like Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan looked at Wen Wan who was sitting at the bottom. Before she came, she heard the emperor mention that the young lady of the Song family was shy. Concubine Duan thought that she was not good enough to stand on the stage. When she saw Song Wei, she asked. A lady from the Song Dynasty was studying in the Hongwen Museum, and she usually studied pretty well. In front of her, her demeanor and demeanor were not artificial at all, which made people feel indescribably natural and comfortable.

Concubine Duan has been pregnant for three months. When she was in the palace, she found out after more than a month, but she didn't publicize it, and ordered the palace people in Yonghe Palace not to speak out. Slowly, she should show her feelings, but Concubine Duan had nothing to do, so she had to pretend to be sick and invite Emperor Guangxi to discuss countermeasures.

The emperor is almost a slap in the face, and there is only a 13-year-old prince under his knees. It can be seen that Empress Su has made a lot of contributions to his weak son.

Concubine Duan didn't want to be brutally murdered by Empress Su like other concubines, even if she was sent to the countryside, as long as she could give birth to a royal heir safely, she would have nothing to say.

……

The journey was tiring, and now that she had a rest, Concubine Duan started yawning again and again after she could not talk a few words.

Wen Wan didn't dare to stay any longer, and when the maid with hot water came in to serve Concubine Duan's feet, she took the initiative to say goodbye, left the West Wing, and went directly to the main room.

Mrs. Song was still immersed in the horror that she had almost offended the nobleman. When her daughter-in-law came back, she hurriedly asked, "How is it? Do you like the room we arranged?"

Wen Wan didn't say anything about the reactions of the two maids, but nodded and said: "Your Majesty said, it's not bad."

Song Pozi breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, "That's good."

Ever since she learned that the honored guest is the favorite concubine of the current emperor, Mrs. Song's heart has been hanging high.

Wen Wan was afraid that her mother-in-law would not be able to make it through this hurdle, so she sat down and persuaded her: "Mother, don't think too much, I see that the concubine Duan is quite kind-hearted, and she doesn't seem like someone who gets angry easily. About the room, only a few of us know about it, if we don’t talk about it, where can the empress go to find out?”

Having said that, Mrs. Song still couldn't completely let go of her heart, the smile on her face was a little bit less than before.

……

The arrival of Concubine Duan made the Song family's New Year's Eve a bit awkward. Everyone at the dinner table had different thoughts, but Jinbao, who was greedy for food, saw so many dishes on the table for the first time. Holding a spoon, he wanted to have a bite. That one wanted to dig a spoonful, but in fact there were not many that he could eat. The little guy finally drank half a bowl of fish porridge and fell asleep in his mother's arms.

This year, as usual, Mrs. Song and Dad Song are still watching the new year, and Wen Wan and his wife go back to their room to sleep.

Sitting on the head of the bed, he asked Song Wei gently, "When did Mr. Xiang take over this task?"

Song Wei said truthfully: "Before leaving Beijing, the emperor had a secret talk with me."

Originally, Emperor Guangxi's plan was to send Concubine Duan to the Rehe Palace five hundred miles away on the pretext of being "infected with a serious illness", so that she could give birth to an heir safely, but later someone pushed Song Wei out, and Emperor Guangxi After thinking about it, I felt that Concubine Duan could not guarantee her safety all the time in the palace. Once something happened to her, people from the palace would not be able to arrive for a while, and it would be difficult for the news to come back.

After thinking about it all night, Emperor Guangxi decided to let Concubine Duan come to the Song family.

For one thing, he trusted Song Wei's character, and once he agreed, Song Wei would definitely protect Concubine Duan's safety even if he risked his life.

Second, there are young people around Song Wei. Emperor Guangxi has seen how powerful those people are. Once Concubine Duan enters the Song family, those people will protect Concubine Duan in disguise while protecting the Song family. .In this way, he no longer needs to send his own people to protect him, which reduces the chance of Concubine Duan being exposed to a certain extent.

What's more, Song Wei is now often able to face the saint, and he can know immediately what is going on with Concubine Duan.

……

Wen Wan remembered what Concubine Duan said during the day, and asked Song Wei, "Is your empress planning to stay at our house until she gives birth?"

Song Wei said that it was not possible to give birth, but at least it was after seven or eight months that the fetal image was completely stabilized.

Wen Wan was silent for a while, then turned her head to look at the man, "Then do we need to go there every day to say hello to the empress?"

"The empress likes to be quiet, so don't bother her when you're free."

Wen Wan nodded her head and said she got it.

Song Wei looked back at Wen Wan, thinking of her reaction outside the gate during the day, her handsome facial features were stained with a lingering smile, "When Wan Wan saw me during the day, what was she thinking?"

Her slightly jealous expression did not escape his eyes.

Wen Wan would never admit that she was jealous, her ears were a little hot, fearing that something strange would be noticed, she huddled under the quilt, and only replied Song Wei with two words: "Sleep!"
