Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 837 The Imperial Concubine Visits (2 More)
Dong Han didn't expect Zhao Xi to come over, so he was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly stood up from the couch, ready to see the ceremony.

Wen Wan also stopped eating, squatting down to be blessed.

Imperial Physician Miao and Nian Chunxiudong both knelt on the ground.

Zhao Xirang exempted himself from courtesy, and looked at Dong Han, "Don't you know medicine? Why didn't you know you were pregnant?"

"Doctors don't heal themselves." Afraid of the stiff atmosphere, he answered the words with a gentle smile, "It's the first time your mother is a mother, so there are bound to be things that you don't notice. Many women are like this. Your Majesty need not be offended."

Considering that Wen Wan was still on the sidelines, Zhao Xi looked away from Dong Han, "Is the princess still used to meals in the palace?"

Wen Wan hummed, "There are top chefs in the world gathered in the Imperial Dining Room, and the dishes are naturally delicious."

"If there is something that doesn't suit your taste, you have to bring it up yourself. You don't have to be too cautious." Zhao Xidao: "The queen is young and has no experience in pregnancy. I'm afraid I will have to trouble the princess to come and talk to her often."

Wen Wan nodded, she had been paying attention to Zhao Xi's reaction.

If it were any newly married young man, when he learned that he was going to be a father, his first reaction, whether it was joy or anger, would be more obvious, but Zhao Xi didn't.

From the moment he entered the palace to the present, Qingjun's face has not had much ups and downs, as if the queen is pregnant, it's just that there is an extra book on the desk in the imperial study.

Could it be that even his wife's pregnancy couldn't move him?
Wen Wan was thinking wildly, when she heard Dong Han's soft voice, "In a few days, it will be His Majesty's future, the Ministry of Rites has come to ask for instructions, and the concubine is thinking, now the war in northern Xinjiang is catching up with the epidemic. Seriously, it should be simple, but this year is the first year of His Majesty's enthronement, according to the etiquette, it should be a big deal, so what does His Majesty mean...?"

"Let's keep everything simple." Zhao Xi's tone was extremely light, "The war and plague have not yet been settled, and I have no intention of enjoying myself."

"Yes." Dong Han knelt, "So, the concubine knows how to arrange it."

Zhao Xi casually instructed her to pay attention to her body and then drove away.

Wen Wan didn't want to eat any more, so she had to tell Empress Dong that she was full and had some things to deal with, so she had to leave first.

Empress Dong did not keep her.

After Wen Wan left, Nian Chun personally sent Imperial Physician Miao out, Xiu Dong collected the leftovers on the table, and then while Dong Han was taking a nap on the couch, the two whispered outside.

Nian Chun said: "Your Majesty's attitude towards the empress is so indifferent. The empress is pregnant with the emperor's heir, which should be a great joy in the palace, but your majesty has not responded at all. Now I don't know whether I should be happy or not."

Xiu Dong is also helpless, although His Majesty is cold-tempered, when he was in the East Palace, he treated Pan Qiu very well, and he didn't think he was so heartless back then!
"The emperor's heart is unpredictable, you should keep your mouth shut and stop talking nonsense. Be careful that the walls have ears, so that outsiders can hear you stabbing up. Even peeling your skin will not be enough for you to make amends."

Nianchun muttered, "I also heard recently that a minister proposed in the court hall that His Majesty should accept the harem as soon as possible to open up branches and leaves for the royal family. Sister Xiudong, do you think Your Majesty has someone he likes?"

Xiudong raised his hand, as if to slap her on the mouth, "Are you going to shut up or not?"

At this time, Dong Han, who was leaning on the couch, was not asleep at all. She supported her head with one hand, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with the other hand. Although it was still flat, she seemed to feel the little life inside, and the corners of her lips followed slightly. raised.

This is His Majesty's first child, and she must do her best to give birth safely.

……

When Wen Wan returned to Changning Marquis Mansion, it was already past noon, Zhao Xunyin said: "Usually, I would go home early for dinner at this hour, but it's so late today, is there something that delayed me?"

Wen Wan came back to her senses, and smiled at Zhao Xunyin, "It was His Majesty who asked me to accompany the empress to talk, so I came back late."

She promised in Yikun Palace that she would not reveal the queen's pregnancy, so even if the other party was the biological mother, she planned to keep it a secret.

"I see that you are restless, it's not just talking, is it?" Zhao Xunyin asked while ordering Doukou to pass the meal in the kitchen.

"I heard from my mother that it will be His Majesty's Qianqiu in a few days. I have been thinking about what gift to give Your Majesty along the way."

Wen Wan walked to the edge of the soft couch and sat down, leaned on her side after a while, and yawned, compared to being in the palace, she seemed out of order at this time.

Knowing that she was tired, Zhao Xunyin smiled and said angrily, "Go to sleep after eating."

Wen Wan rubbed her belly, she didn't have enough to eat in the palace, but she was really sleepy!
After thinking about it, he still waved his hand, "No, I'll talk about it when I wake up."

Zhao Xunyin brought a brocade quilt to cover her, and whispered in her ear, "You can't do this. In the future, Sanlang will reach out and ask me for someone. If I give him a skinny wife, he won't have to blame me for not keeping you. Take care of it?"

Hearing Zhao Xunyin mention Song Wei, the gentle drowsiness dissipated a bit, turned over to face his mother, and said with a giggle, "How dare Sanlang? Even if he wanted to complain, he would do so secretly."

Zhao Xunyin gave her a white look, "You are really a cause for concern."

……

A few days later, Kang Wang led a group of guards and more than a hundred doctors to the northern border, almost non-stop, and arrived in the shortest time.

People from the northern Xinjiang government wanted to be courteous, but Kang Wang refused one by one. He covered his mouth and nose with a white cloth boiled at high temperature and led the doctors straight to the epidemic area.

Kang Wang was in charge of appeasing the hearts of the people, and the doctors were in charge of diagnosing pulses and grading and isolating them. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Knowing that the imperial court only closed the village and would not burn it down, the people's anxiety finally stabilized.

Within half a month, the number of daily infections began to decline.

When the news was transmitted back to the capital of Chu State, it naturally reached the ears of Imperial Concubine Beiyan.

She asked the spies lurking in northern Xinjiang to find ways to incite the officials in northern Xinjiang to burn down villages and cause panic. The little emperor of Chu sent King Kang to calm people's hearts and said that the imperial court attaches great importance to the epidemic, and His Majesty governs the country with benevolence and righteousness. , as long as there is still a breath, we will do our best to treat them, and there will never be a phenomenon of burning village grass and killing people.

"What's going on here?" The imperial concubine's beautiful eyes were filled with gloom, "There are spies from Chu State in Beiyan Palace?"

Apart from this explanation, she really couldn't think of Zhao Xi's all-hands-on-the-eyes ability to ruin her good deeds again and again.

Last time in the Liaodong Iron Mine, the transaction was about to be completed. The little emperor suddenly sent an imperial envoy to verify the progress of the weapon improvement, and directly cut off the supply of mineral materials to Beiyan.

But this time, her plan hadn't been implemented yet, and the little emperor seemed to know about it in advance, and he thought of a way to block her back.

"Let me check!" The imperial concubine's luxurious sleeves swept off the tea set on the table, and she shouted angrily: "I want to see who has such a great ability to steal from Beiyan Palace without anyone noticing. Send the news to Chu!"

The spy hesitated for a moment, "Ma'am, there is one more thing. The subordinates got the news that the Emperor Chu recently appointed a female officer."

"What is there for a female official to report?" The imperial concubine sneered coldly, there were so many female officials in Beiyan's inner court.

"It's a court lady." The spies said, "The Emperor Chu allowed her to participate in political affairs. This time, northern Xinjiang only closed the villages for isolation, and the proposal of not burning the villages was made by her."

After hearing this, the imperial concubine's face sank, "Who is this person?"

"It's the daughter of Princess Huguo, Princess Yong'an."

Princess Huguo Zhao Xunyin, the imperial concubine has heard of it, but she doesn't know Princess Yong'an, let alone Wen Wan. All she knows is that the person who made the suggestion this time completely ruined her plan.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine frowned even more ugly, "Emperor Xuan Jing is strict and cautious, how could he suddenly appoint a female official? And he is a princess, there must be something strange about this matter."

The spy said: "This subordinate will go to investigate again, and will give the information about Princess Yong'an to the empress as soon as possible."

The imperial concubine raised her hand, "I heard that the little emperor's birthday is coming soon?"

"Yes."

A hint of calculation flashed across the charming eyes of the imperial concubine, "Chu Kingdom's capital is strictly guarded, and our people will not be exposed if they can't be exposed. Regarding Princess Yong'an, there is no need for you to investigate. I will go to see her in person."

……

Zhao Xi received a national post from Beiyan, which said that Emperor Yan heard that Emperor Xuanjing's birthday was approaching, and would arrange for a delegation to celebrate his birthday.

When Zhao Xi read the post, Wen Wan was on the sidelines, and said with a sarcasm, "The plague will be spread and fought. I heard that His Majesty's birthday, but they have arranged for a mission to congratulate them. The Beiyan royal family is really thick-skinned, but ..." She changed the subject, "There is a special person in the mission this time, Your Majesty, we can arrange ahead of time."

Zhao Xi turned his eyes and looked at Wen Wan, "Special person?"

Wen Wan nodded, "Emperor Beiyan, she will disguise herself as an envoy and come to Chu with the envoy."

Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback, "Can you really predict it in advance?"

Wen Wan felt a little helpless and wanted to laugh, "Your Majesty still doesn't believe me?"

With Emperor Xuanjing's imperial decree allowing her to enter the court, what she can predict now has long been beyond her own scope, and is related to the world, and even more related to the country of Chu.
