Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Since the emperor said so, Emperor Jin An could only obey and order his subordinates to prepare for the emperor's relocation.

It's easy to say that moving the palace is easy, but it can't be done in a day or two. The preliminary preparations alone will take some time. First of all, the West Garden needs to be cleaned and arranged. This is not just one or two places, but dozens of palaces. The palaces where the concubines live and who lives in which palace must be properly allocated.

If the allocation is not good, or the place makes a concubine dissatisfied, there are many things for the women to do, and it is not known when it will be delayed.

Recently, the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace have been lively. Those who have face in front of the emperor have gone to the emperor, and those who don't have face use their status to find Yao Niang, the queen of the central palace.

But Yao Niang doesn't have time to toss these things at the moment. Doctor Liu Liang came to check her pulse before, and he found out that she was pregnant with twins.

This incident shocked the Kunning Palace. They had checked the pulse before, and there was no mention of single or twin pregnancy. How come it was twin pregnancy now? Later, they found out that it was too early to check the pulse. They had to wait until the month was big. Yao Niang was just over five months pregnant.

In addition to being surprised, they were naturally happy. You know, the last time the Zhao royal family gave birth to twins was during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. If the queen can really give birth to twins safely this time, this blessing will be really enviable.

In the queen's situation, she naturally had no time to care about which palace the concubines lived in.

Just when the people below were busy because of the words of the emperor, the emperor seemed a little unhappy. He stopped listening to books and playing with fish. The whole Qianqing Palace was much quieter.

On this day, Xiaobao came to Qianqing Palace. As soon as he walked into the palace gate, he seemed a little uncomfortable because of the rare quietness of Qianqing Palace.

"Why didn't the emperor invite anyone to perform opera and storytelling today?"

Li Dequan said from the side: "The old emperor is tired and is tired of listening all the time. Does the prince want to listen? If so, I will report to the emperor and arrange a show for you."

In the past, when Xiaobao was free, he always came to the Qianqing Palace to accompany the emperor to watch opera and listen to storytelling. He was a little kid and didn't know if he could understand it, but he listened with great interest. The emperor also listened with great interest. With some tea and fruit, it was simply a deity who would not change it.

The emperor was inside and naturally heard what was said outside. Before Xiaobao followed Li Dequan in, he heard him say with full energy: "Since the prince wants to listen, go and arrange it. You deliberately said it to me. I am not an old stubborn person who will not change."

"Hey, I will prepare it right away."

Li Dequan smiled and ran faster than a rabbit, as if he was afraid that the emperor would regret it. The emperor has been depressed these days, and everyone in the Qianqing Palace is living a tense life. So it is most useful to invite the prince to come, and the emperor will be in high spirits.

Li Dequan passed the message on, and the emperor moved the side hall with Xiaobao. Now the side hall has changed a lot, and a small stage has been set up. The big play can't be performed, but a few actors can perform small scenes.

The blind storyteller was brought in soon, which was unprecedented. Who would have thought that such a person could be invited to the palace to tell stories to the emperor. The blind man has been in the palace for quite a while, and now he feels like he is dreaming.

The blind man sat down and held the sanxian, and tea and fruit plates were served here, as well as a few snacks that Xiaobao liked.

In the past, Xiaobao always craved the snacks made by the chef from the south of Yueyue's family. It's not that Jinwangfu can't invite him, but it's hard to find a good one for the time being. After entering the palace, there is nothing missing. The emperor gave an order and the best white-case chef in Jiangnan was sent to the palace.

The book has already started, and it started from what Xiaobao heard last time.

On the big kang under the south window, there was an old man and a young man, with tea at hand. Xiaobao took a piece of dessert and ate it, and the emperor also picked up a piece and ate it.

"Grandpa, my father said you are going to move to the West Garden. Do you really want to go?"

"Of course it's true, is it false?"

"Then does Xiaobao want to accompany the emperor?"

The emperor glanced at his grandson: "You can accompany him, or not."

"My grandson selfishly wants to accompany the emperor, but I can't delay studying in the study. Besides, I can't bear to leave Erbao and my father and mother. Now my mother is pregnant, and I am a little worried as a son."

So the emperor is relieved? But the emperor didn't have the face to say this, he was not a child.

Xiao Bao seemed to be unaware and continued, "This palace is so lively, crowded, and spacious. Although the West Garden has beautiful scenery, it is a bit remote. Let me think that moving there is a bit unnecessary. It is enough to go there for a month or two a year. Moreover, it is close to the water and it is not easy to live there permanently. If you live there for a long time, it will be humid and not good for the emperor's dragon body."

"How do you know that it is not easy to live near the water? Who told you?"

"Father, father is very worried about the emperor's dragon body, but father never says anything."

The emperor snorted.

"In fact, father doesn't want you to move there, but he doesn't dare to disobey."

"So he sent you to disobey the emperor?"

Xiaobao didn't take up the conversation and continued, "Xiaobao can't bear to leave Grandpa Huang either. Actually, the Queen Mother can't bear to leave either. Yesterday, she was still saying that if Grandpa Huang moved away, how could she send food to you in the future. She said that in the folk, a family lives in one place. If there are not four generations living together, there are three generations living together. Although we live in the palace and cannot live under the same roof, we can still come here easily. If you go to the West Garden, we have to run out of the palace to see you. People in this palace are different from ordinary people. They are always surrounded by people. It's okay once or twice, but if you do it too many times, you will inevitably be lazy and delay your filial piety."

The retired emperor became curious as he listened. Although he rarely met his daughter-in-law, he could roughly outline her appearance through Xiaobao's words.

Gentle and virtuous, good-natured, of course, this is on the surface.

Let the retired emperor say that she is quite considerate and always just right, but she is nagging like an old woman. Because he was born in a small family and had little experience, he liked to use the trivial things in the folk to make examples. How could he, a member of the Zhao royal family, be compared with the common people in the folk? He was not one of those lonely old men who relied on his children to be filial.

He was the emperor!

But the emperor liked this. He insisted on not taking concubines, but just put this little old woman by his side. Wouldn't he find it annoying? !

"Your mother is so nagging!" The emperor said disdainfully.

Xiaobao disagreed: "Father is quiet, and mother is not lonely even if she talks more."

The emperor snorted and didn't say anything. He went to eat the peanuts in the fruit plate.

"Then will you move to another palace?"

"Why move? Your mother is pregnant and can't manage palace affairs. Those concubines and concubines come to me every day. I'm so annoyed. Let's wait until your mother gives birth." After a pause, the emperor seemed to feel that he was too weak and said, "Your mother has been filial to you several times. She is pregnant. If I move her out, there may be conflicting rumors, and those ministers will make a fuss about it."

Xiao Bao smiled and said, "Grandson said that although the emperor is cold-faced, he is warm-hearted, just like my father. My mother still doesn't believe it and is always a little afraid of you."

Who is like the emperor? He doesn't have so many tricks! He keeps everything in his heart and sends his children to deal with him.

At this time, there was a clamor outside the palace, mixed with the shouting of a child, which blew in at lightning speed.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Erbao is here. Erbao is here to see you. Great, big brother, you came to see Grandpa without calling me, and came secretly. Did you eat something delicious behind my back? Let me see."

"We didn't eat anything."

"Really?" Erbao looked at Xiaobao with a disbelieving look, and then looked at the emperor.

Both nodded seriously.

Erbao pointed at the peanut shells on the table, looked at the two again, and said with sharp eyes: "You obviously ate it, there are peanut shells, and there are cake residues on your mouth, big brother."

Xiaobao said embarrassedly: "This is not delicious."

While Erbao and Xiaobao were arguing about delicious food, the emperor subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, fearing that the little grandson would catch him eating something.

Because he had a beard, the emperor was quite worried, and he even signaled Li Dequan to let him see it with his eyes. It was not until Li Dequan shook his head at him that he was relieved and focused his attention on the two grandsons.

One is extremely intelligent, the other is a little bit stupid.

That Su will give birth!

Inexplicably, the emperor felt a kind of expectation for the unborn grandchildren.

Never mind, he would wait until the grandchildren were born before leaving, it would always be a happy occasion. What the emperor did not expect was that he would not be able to move to Xiyuan for the rest of his life, because the pair of little people were more annoying than the pair of little people in front of him.

Chapter 213

As the months went by, Yao Niang's body became heavier.

Unlike when she was pregnant with Xiaobao and Erbao, her belly was too big this time, which made people always worried.

In fact, Yao Niang's belly was not much bigger than when she was pregnant with Erbao, but she was much thinner now, so her belly looked big. Ever since the diagnosis of twins, the already retired Mu Mama came out in person, bringing several old maids in the palace to personally take care of Yao Niang's body.

Twins are not ordinary. It is difficult for women to give birth nowadays. If twins are not handled well, the result is dystocia. Your Majesty values ​​the Queen. If something really happens to her, it will surely be a bloody storm. We really have to take it seriously.
