Chapter 143 The end of the year is coming
"Good daughter. If she is as beautiful as Ling Xiao in the future, those young talents will compete to be the son-in-law." Feng Yuqi smiled and said, as if he had seen the beautiful scene in the future.
Before Ling Xiao answered, Feng Yuqi said, "However, my son, I will teach him to ride and shoot and teach him to govern the country in the future. I will definitely become my good helper and will definitely become our pride."
Governing the country? Ling Xiao listened and felt a tingling in his heart, but he just pretended not to understand the meaning. When he was about to say something more, there was a slight knock on the door from outside.
"What's the matter?" Feng Yuqi asked in a loud voice.
It was Liu Quan's voice, which came in through the door and the thick curtain. It seemed a little unreal in the night. "Xiao Ronghua just ordered someone to report that he felt uncomfortable in his stomach."
Ling Xiao frowned and unconsciously looked at Feng Yuqi. Seeing a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, he immediately disappeared. He only replied indifferently, "I told you that I ordered Dr. Liu to diagnose and treat Xiao Ronghua. I must do my best."
"Yes." After Liu Quan answered, he didn't hear any more movement, and there were no footsteps.
"Is it true that the emperor won't visit his sister?" Ling Xiao turned sideways slightly and asked.
Feng Yuqi only said, "I'm not a doctor. What's the use of going there?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said no more. They hugged each other and slept. At night, Feng Yuqi slept very lightly. As long as the people around him moved a little, he would get up and help her with the quilt. Looking at her sleepy face, even his sleepiness dissipated a lot.
The consequences can be imagined. After getting up the next day, Feng Yuqi had a shallow green block under his eyes. Ling Xiao laughed at him like a white skin, but he was heartbroken and very moved. He knew that he was taking care of himself. Ling Xiao helped him wipe some powder for his makeup under his eyes. He carefully decorated it, but he couldn't see it. His face was still very good.
Feng Yuqi originally refused. He was a man, who was still the king of a country, and actually applied fans. If this was known, wouldn't he laugh at everyone? However, on second thought, this is also good, otherwise I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to Ling Xiao if it is seen by ministers or other concubines. How many emperor's favorite concubines in history died in the mouth of Youyou and were killed as a disaster?!
After Feng Yuqi left Shang Chao, Ling Xiao knew from the mouth of Qingwu that after Liu Quan refused Zhu Lian last night, Bi He came again and almost made trouble. She said that Xiao Ronghua was not feeling well and was in danger of endangering the prince. If she didn't tell the emperor, who could bear it if something really happened?
"What happened later? Why didn't you see Grandpa Liu come in again to report? Ling Xiao asked, eating brown sugar milk soup.
The green fog looked a little happy and said, "Who is Grandpa Liu? How could she be scared by her little maid of honor! At that moment, Euke Liu said to her that the emperor is not a doctor. What's the use of going there? If there is really something wrong, he Liu Quan will bear it. But if you want him to report it now, don't even think about it. If he annoys the emperor, he will have a hundred heads that are not enough to cut.
"Oh?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, and he was really worthy of the people around Feng Yuqi.
"That's really domineering!" Qingwu's tone even brought worship, "I really didn't expect that my father-in-law could be so manly, making that Bi He angry!"
"Puff!" The catwoman next to her immediately laughed, and the others also squeezed their mouths and smiled secretly.
Ling Xiao also felt a little funny, but deliberately restrained his face and motioned Qingwu to take the wet handkerchief on one side to her. Qingwu immediately handed it over and wiped the corners of his mouth before Ling Xiao said, "Don't say these words in the future. Can you arrange the people around the emperor?"
"Yes." The green fog was serious, "I know what's wrong."
In fact, Ling Xiao felt that she was quite serious. Although she was teaching Qingwu a lesson, she was actually very funny.
In this way, there is Feng Yuqi accompanying him at night, Qingwu and others to take care of him during the day. There is also a catwoman and cute steamed buns. Every day, he is lively in the hall. Ling Xiao is in a very good mood.
In the beautiful expectation, it unconsciously ushered in the second New Year's Eve after Ling Xiao entered the palace.
Although it has only been a year, the scenery in the Luan Hall is very different from last year. Last year, she was a spoiled Lingcai, but now, she is pregnant and spoiled Ling Jieyu. If nothing unexpected happens, she guesses that Feng Yuqi will be promoted to the throne again at the New Year's Eve banquet.
And this promotion is fundamentally different from before. Because no matter why the promotion is, even if it is only half a grade, from the third grade to the third grade, it is also a qualitative leap. Because, above the noble concubine, he is the real master, who can be called "mother".
In the past, Ling Xiao didn't care much about it, but now it's different. She is going to have a child. She must be a strong mother concubine, otherwise she will be involved with the child.
All parts of the palace are still very busy, especially in the queen's palace. They not only have to prepare sacrifices, night banquets, gifts and other complicated matters, but also to meet the ladies. They are very busy. The noble concubine and the medicine concubine are also asked by the queen for help. However, when the affairs are busy, the interior is orderly, which shows the skills of the Empress, the coordinator of the harem.
Ling Xiao has a lot more things than last year, but it's okay. In the end, she is just a Jieyu, which is not enough for her to take on the "heavy responsibilities". In addition to preparing for the night banquet, I also send some small embroidery products made by myself to a few concubines who are close friends on weekdays, so that they can play Shuanglu with Lin Xuanyu and Lu Qianmo in a hurry.
Feng Yuqi is busier than the queen. There are foreign envoys visiting. He has to meet them one by one, as well as officials from all over the country who go to Beijing to report their duties. These are all government affairs and can't be careless. However, every day or two, he will still go to the harem to see Ling Xiao and Ling Yuechan, and the queen often sends people to visit.
This year's winter does not seem to be very cold. There are lanterns everywhere in the palace. The skillful palace people use good red silk to tie into large silk flowers, clusters tied to the trees, and there are good knots made of big red thick ropes. The long drooping tassels sway in the wind, indicating the enthusiasm of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
All kinds of paper-cuts were also pasted on the windows of Qiluantang, many of which were made by Ling Xiao himself, and the craftsmanship was so exquisite that even Er Lan was amazed. That's what her mother taught her at home. Every year, as long as those bright patterns are glued to the windows, no matter how dilapidated the home is, it shows vitality and hope.
It will soon be New Year's Eve. Because the evening banquet only started in the evening, Ling Xiao did not have to get up very early, and because everyone was trying their best to prepare for the evening banquet, it was empty today than before.
Ling Xiao is born with a thin constitution, so even if she eats and sleeps well now, she is only slightly plump. Except for the slightly prominent abdomen, at first glance, she doesn't look like a woman who has been pregnant for three months.
Tonight's night banquet is very important. It can be said that all the important people in the country are going to be present. Even Ling Xiao no longer wants to pick, but now she is the most popular person in the palace. If she doesn't pick, she will be picky. If it is too ordinary, it will attract gossip.
So she asked Qingwu to help her pull an ordinary fan-shaped bun, but two red treasures decorated with fine beads and jade tassels were inserted side by side on the bun, and a few plum blossom jade carved from white jade were inserted in a hairpin, which was extremely elegant, gorgeous but not extravagant. The palace skirt on the body is made of rose red and light purple double-line twisted silk brocade. The style is simple, but the cuffs and skirt are embroidered with blue and white silk threads. However, there are a few more ingenuity, adding a few fresh and elegant beauty.
In addition, there is a red jade glazed lotus bracelet on her wrist, and there is no other jewelry. When Lin Xuanyu came to find her, he also said whether she was too simple, but as soon as he looked up and saw her bun, he immediately sighed. I don't know how many people can be overwhelmed by these two steps, not to mention the white jade. If it were not for the noble concubine and others, how could they have it easily?
Lin Xuanyu has been favored a lot since he emerged at the New Snow Festival, but there has been no movement so far, and Ling Xiao is a little worried. But Lin Xuanyu didn't seem to care about it at all, and even had a faint impatience when he mentioned the child, which made Ling Xiao feel a little strange.
However, soon, the two shifted the topic to the child in Ling Xiao's abdomen. Lin Xuanyu pestered her that when the child was born, she must be her godmother. At this moment, Lu Qianmo also came, so the child who didn't even have a shadow had two godmothers.
When it was almost time, several people took the palace people to Zhaoyang Palace together. In the evening, the Zhaoyang Palace looked particularly holy in the reflection of the sunset glow, and the palace and pavilion seemed to be shrouded in a layer of red light, which was faint, and there was an illusion of universal Buddha's light.
After entering Zhaoyang Palace, the people sat down in their respective positions under the leadership of the guide palace. Naturally, the emperor is in the middle of the main position. On the right hand of the emperor is the queen, and the position on the left was originally the empress dowager. However, the empress dowager said that due to the cold weather, she was not well in good health, so these things should be handed over to the empress. My old lady would not join in the fun.
So the Empress Dowager's Ancese is now empty, depending on which concubine the emperor will give this honor. Now the medicine concubine doesn't want to think about it. She has always been lukewarm, not to mention that there is a Xie Guifei at the top. Although Ling Xiao and Ling Yuechan are not in a high position, everyone knows that today's limelight can surpass the noble concubine.
They are now sitting in the position that the queen originally arranged for them. Even this is only under the medicine concubine, and even a number of high-ranking concubines have to lean back. Knowing that the Empress Dowager would not attend the New Year's Eve banquet, the queen offered to let a sister get closer to the emperor.
Feng Yuqi Yanfeng swept over several people nearby and did not stay on anyone. He only turned his head slightly and said something softly to the queen. The queen's dignified face turned slightly red, revealing a little bit of the little girl's original shyness, so that everyone in the seat praised: the queen and wife Deep affection is the blessing of the society.
