Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 813 The Empress Dowager

The Son of Heaven is the elder brother of the eldest princess. They are all concubines of the Chengde Dynasty, the concubines of the current empress dowager. At the time of the Chengde Dynasty, the concubine Shu was not a very powerful or favored concubine. Said to be normal.

You must know that the emperor of Chengde has more than a dozen sons alone, plus nine daughters, there are more than 20 children in total. Because of the reason of being born in a family of heaven, more than 20 people are unlikely to love each other, so in these 20 Among many people, one mother's compatriots are particularly close.

  Li Xin's wife, the eldest princess Ji Lingxiu, is the sister of the Taikang Emperor, so among the more than 20 brothers and sisters, the two of them have been very close since childhood.

When the ninth princess was not yet sixteen and did not leave the palace to open the palace, she often lived in the palace of the king of Wei. His Royal Highness, the king of Wei, who was a little weak by nature, always treated his sister very well. No matter what the girl asked, he did his best. Satisfy.

   This is also one of the reasons why he took Xiao Jiu to see Li Xin because of the mutton skewers.

  Now, His Highness King Wei, who led the nine princesses to eat and drink around the capital, was already in such a bad state that he said he wanted to see his sister...

   That is really want to meet.

   This is a real blood relationship.

   Of course, it is unknown how much political element it contains.

  Li Xin stopped with a complicated look on his face, and after a long silence, he said, "I will tell Xiao Jiu about His Majesty."

   "Whether or not to come back to see His Majesty, let Xiao Jiu decide for himself."

At this time, no one has any reason to block this kind of sincere blood and family relationship. Li Xin also really felt the relationship between His Royal Highness King Wei and Xiao Jiu. For this kind of thing, he can only decide The power is in the hands of the parties themselves.

  The emperor let out a sigh of relief.

   "Mom... On the mother's side, you should also go and see her. She hasn't seen Xiao Jiu and her grandson for several months. She often asks me what happened..."

   "Go and make it clear to the old man..."

The news of the emperor's serious illness should still be kept strictly confidential at this time. Even her own mother, the present empress dowager doesn't know about it. The empress dowager doesn't even know what happened between her son and her son-in-law. what's the problem.

  Li Xin nodded silently.

   "I'll go now."

This mother-in-law, who lives in the harem, has been kind to him all these years, especially after the eldest princess gave birth to her granddaughter, the old lady was even more happy. own granddaughter.

  Li Xin's eldest daughter, Xiao Ahan, also likes this grandmother very much and often goes to the palace to accompany her.

   Now, his daughter and granddaughter have not been in the palace for several months, and there is no news at all. No matter what, Li Xin has to go to see the old man and give him an explanation.

   After Li Xin said this, he walked towards the outside of the hall. After taking two or three steps, he stopped and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. Your Majesty is in his prime, there is no reason to accept his fate at this age, so he can take care of his body with peace of mind, and let the inner guard send people to go out and hire famous doctors. I believe that Your Majesty's body will definitely improve. of."

Li Xin's remarks are sincere. To be honest, given the current contradiction between him and the emperor, the death of the emperor may still be a good thing for him, but this is from the perspective of political interests. Aside from political interests, as a former friend, Li Xin still hopes that the Son of Heaven can survive.

  The emperor was half lying on the dragon couch and closed his eyes.

   "I...I know."

  Li Xin shook his head and walked out of Weiyang Palace.

   After he left Weiyang Palace, he stood outside the palace gate for a long time, and finally looked back at the palace gate of Weiyang Palace and sighed a long time.

   He looked complicated.

   "If there is really any **** fate, what should my life be?"

After he muttered to himself, he left Weiyang Palace like this, but he did not leave the palace, but walked towards the Kunde Palace in the harem under the leadership of a eunuch. Kunde Palace is the residence of the Queen Mother. When Li Xin lived in the capital, he often visited the old lady. He was very familiar with it, and it didn't take long before he arrived at the entrance of Kunde Palace.

   The little **** entered the Kunde Palace to report, while Li Xin was waiting outside the palace gate with his hands down.

   Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the Kunde Palace. An old lady dressed in ordinary rich and noble family clothes, supported by a few palace maids, walked quickly towards the palace gate.

   "Chang'an."

   After seeing Li Xin from a distance, the old lady immediately called her name, and her footsteps became more hurried.

   "You are here, Aijia has asked His Majesty to find you several times..."

The old lady is a daughter of a rich family. Although she has been in the palace for decades, she has not been contaminated with the yin in the palace. Instead, she is more kind. Li Xin stepped forward, kneeling on the ground respectfully, bowing her head. Said: "Li Xin has seen his mother-in-law."

   After his mentor Ye Sheng left, Li Xin basically had no elders, and this real mother-in-law was his only elder in the capital.

   In addition, this mother-in-law has been very good to their family over the years, so Li Xin has always respected her.

  The Empress Dowager didn't know the son-in-law in front of her at all, what happened between her son and her son during this period of time, she quickly stretched out her hand to help Li Xin up, and dragged Li Xin to the Kunde Palace.

   "A few days ago, Ai's family told His Majesty that he wanted to go out of the palace to see your Li family, but His Majesty did not know why, and kept Ai's family from leaving the palace."

   Mentioning her son, the old lady sighed worriedly.

   "I heard that His Majesty has been in poor health for the past two years and often cannot sleep well. The Aijia made a few sleeping pills for him to put under the pillow when he slept. I don't know if it works or not."

   Li Xin walked behind the old lady with his hands down, his face respectful.

The old lady murmured a few words, then looked back at her son-in-law behind her, and complained: "And you, I haven't visited the Aijia in the palace in recent months. When Aijia asked others, they all said that you went to Beijing to work. Well, you are busy, but Xiaojiu never came to see me, the old woman, so if you count the time, the Ai family hasn't seen Ahan for several months..."

   The old lady was full of resentment.

   "They're all in the capital, and it's not that far apart. How can you not come to see your mother?"

Speaking of this matter, Li Xin felt a little uncomfortable. After being silent for a while, he lowered his head and said, "The queen mother doesn't know anything, Xiao Jiu, Ahan and Ping'er are not in the capital now, and it will take some time before I'm back in Beijing, so I can't come to greet my mother."

  The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Marquis of Jing'an has always been close, so Li Xin called her from the title of the eldest princess.

   This empress dowager has been treating Li Xin as her own son all these years.

   Hearing this, the old lady frowned.

   "Where did they go, why doesn't Aijia know?"

  Li Xin bit the bullet and whispered: "My mother doesn't know anything, this year is ten years since my mother's tomb was completed, so Xiao Jiu brought Ah Han and Ping'er back to Yongzhou to visit my mother's grave."

   "It happened that Ping'er was born and hadn't told his mother yet, so he also asked him to go back and give his mother a sweet treat."

   "It's right to go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors. After all, you are a filial child."

  The Empress Dowager looked back at Li Xin, a little unhappy.

   "Just how did Ping'er go? The road is high and the road is long, and he is only over a year old. How can he withstand such bumps?"
