The little princess is also very pampered today

Chapter 5 Concubine Shu
In the Xu Dynasty, Concubine Shu brought the eldest prince Gu Yichang to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to greet Gu Huaicheng. Yichang was only four years old and had reached the age of going to the study room.

Gu Huaicheng picked up Yichang and praised Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu has taught Chang'er hard work."

Concubine Shu raised her lips and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Gu Huaicheng held Yichang in his arms and was practicing calligraphy on the desk, while Concubine Shu stood aside grinding, talking and smiling at Yanyan, with something hidden in her heart.

Gu Huaicheng also saw that she was absent-minded, but just didn't bother to ask.

After a long time, Concubine Shu finally spoke: "Your Majesty, the empress has returned to her home country, and there is no one in charge in the harem, but someone has to take care of such a big harem as the emperor. Below the empress are concubines and pure concubines. ..."

"Does Concubine Shu want to govern the power of the Six Palaces?" Gu Huaicheng raised his head and glanced at her faintly, then turned his mind to practicing calligraphy with Yichang.

At a young age, Yichang already knew a lot of characters and could write neatly.

"The concubine does not mean this, but the second prince, Yixu, is still young. Since the concubine Chun wants to raise the prince, she can't take care of managing the harem. If the concubine is forced to manage the harem, the concubine has no objection, but she has to work hard for the concubine." Come."

Gu Huaicheng curled his lips: "Concubine Chun has worked hard to take care of Yi Xu, but if it is about managing the harem, she may not be incompetent. Isn't the queen also taking care of Yu Xian while managing my harem in an orderly manner?"

Concubine Shu's tone lowered: "The emperor means that during this period of time the harem will be governed by Concubine Chun on behalf of the queen?"

Gu Huaicheng shook his head: "Once the empress leaves, you and the concubine Chun will naturally be respected in the palace. Both of you are the ones who gave birth to the prince for me, and you have contributed a lot. If I just gave you the right to manage the harem I'm afraid that Concubine Chun will be unhappy, so I will tell Concubine Chun to come over and ask her what she means, and I will make a decision later."

Concubine Chun came in a hurry, with an anxious look on her face, and hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects when she entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Gu Huaicheng said "Pingshen", and then asked: "Why are you in such a hurry, what happened to Hui'an Palace?"

Concubine Chun said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, Hui'an Palace is fine, but when the concubine just left the palace, Xu'er just woke up, and the wet nurse couldn't coax her after crying for a while, so the concubine was a little anxious."

"Later, I will go to Hui'an Palace with Concubine Chun to have a look."

Gu Huaicheng hugged Yichang and chatted with Concubine Chun without saying a word, and let Concubine Shu wait for a while before getting to the point.

"This time the empress has returned to her home country, the harem cannot be left without a master for a day. Concubine Chun sees it, who is more competent to manage the six palaces on behalf of the empress, you or concubine Shu."

Concubine Chun thought for a moment, and said politely: "In the past, when the emperor was still the prince, sister Concubine Shu had already served the king, and her qualifications were deep. Besides, sister Concubine Shu has contributed to raising the eldest prince. Under the queen, she is sister Concubine Shu."

Gu Huaicheng asked Concubine Shu: "Do you think so too? Under the queen, you are the one?"

Concubine Shu knelt down: "I dare not think so."

"I see, that's what you think!"

Gu Huaicheng patted the desk, and Yichang was so frightened that he didn't understand, so he threw away the ink pen, but he didn't dare to cry, because his father said that a man is not allowed to shed tears.

"When the empress returns to her mother country, you and Concubine Chun are naturally the ones to be respected in the harem, but you should also sit on an equal footing with Concubine Chun. As soon as the Empress leaves, you will come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to ask for the right to be the assistant harem. Is it higher than Concubine Chun?"

Concubine Chun also hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor calm down!"

The emperor put Yichang down: "Concubine Shu takes the eldest prince back to the palace to manage the power of the harem. Concubine Chun will take over first."

After finishing speaking, he strode out: "I will follow Concubine Chun back to Hui'an Palace to see the Second Prince."

Concubine Shu dared not speak out.

She is the Princess of Yan State, and the niece of the current Empress Dowager of Wei State. When Gu Huaicheng first returned to Wei State, she was already serving her. She thought that after Gu Huaicheng ascended the throne, she would be a queen under one person and above ten thousand people, but unexpectedly, It's just a mere concubine.

The sudden appearance of the little princess of the Yin Kingdom, who is only 16 years old, has become a queen, how can she be convinced.

Now I thought that after the queen left, Concubine Chun was busy taking care of the second prince, and the right to favor and govern the harem was naturally hers, so she brought Yichang to pay her respects tonight, but the emperor suddenly became angry and reprimanded her.

In Hui'an Palace, the wet nurse gave Yi Xu breast milk, and Yi Xu fell asleep again, so he clicked his mouth twice.

Concubine Chun watched the child fall asleep, and then calmed down Gu Huaicheng's holy anger: "Why does the emperor have to reprimand sister Concubine Shu severely? The concubine was pregnant with the empress at the same time, and it was Concubine Shu who ruled the six palaces. Now the queen is not here. , Sister Concubine Shu should take on this burden, besides, the concubine still has to take care of Xu'er, even if she wants to take care of it, she has no time to take care of it."

The empress dowager was seriously ill and was busy recuperating, but she was still protecting her own niece. If Qi Yin hadn't left the palace, Gu Huaicheng wouldn't have dared to suppress concubine Shu suddenly, otherwise his mother would embarrass her again.

"You have kept your duty in the past few years since you entered the palace. Even though you gave birth to Xu'er, you didn't invite your child to favor you. But she, thinking that she gave birth to the eldest prince, felt that she was the next queen. After all, it's time for me to frustrate her. You're getting more vigor." The emperor patted her hand, "Don't worry, I asked Lin Zhaoyi to help you with it, Concubine Shu has no face to do anything wrong during this time."

The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and at night there is a sudden strong wind, the sound of bleakness is not heard, and there is a cloudy light rain with the leaves falling.

That night, the emperor did not fall asleep, stood up alone, walked to the window, and looked at the pattering rain outside the window.

Missing... Worrying, Ju'er's illness has not recovered, and her body is not good. Every time it rains continuously, she will have a headache and brain fever for a period of time. It will take at least seven or eight days to travel from Anyang, the capital of Wei State, to Yin State.

Do you miss him?

When Gu Huaicheng was 14 years old, he lived in the Yin Palace as a proton, doing homework in the study with the Yin Crown Prince Qi Xiaochen and his son-in-law Qin Shangjun.

That afternoon, the four-year-old little Princess Yinxuan came to look for the prince's elder brother. Qi Xiaochen hugged her, and she leaned against the prince's ear, biting her finger and asked softly, "Brother emperor, which of the two people behind you is the one?" Hu'er's son-in-law?"

Qi Xiaochen paused, then laughed, it turned out that the younger sister came to see her future husband-in-law.

He pretended to be sullen, and put on a straight face: "It turns out that the emperor didn't come to pick up the emperor's brother back to the palace, did he?"

Qi Yinzhen shook his head like a rattle drum: "I came to pick up the emperor's brother back to the palace, and I will take a look at the son-in-law of the emperor. If he doesn't look very good, wouldn't he be wronged..."

Ten-year-old Qin Shangjun was amused by Qi Yinxuan's words, and he said to the prince: "Fourth brother, let the little princess see, who is more like her future husband-in-law, Brother Cheng or I?"

Qi Yinzheng was placed on the ground by the crown prince, walked around the two of them twice, hugged Gu Huaicheng's calf, and said solemnly: "Brother Huang, this is the husband-in-law of Yuaner."

Qin Shangjun couldn't hold back his face anymore, he just felt that the little princess was stupid, she didn't even have such vision, he asked her: "Why do you think Huaicheng is your husband-in-law, obviously I am!"

The little princess was not frightened by his yelling, she said wrongedly: "Because big brother is taller, big brother is taller than you..."

The ten-year-old Qin Shangjun is naturally shorter than the 14-year-old Gu Huaicheng by more than a head, after all, his age...
