Chapter 248 Not having children is my blessing
Concubine Hua went out in high spirits and returned in high spirits.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Concubine Hua even wanted to hum a tune.
"Your Majesty, why did you have to remind Ling Xiang just now? Isn't it just right for her now?" Song Zhi was standing behind Concubine Hua and listening to Concubine Hua reminding Ling Xiang to be careful. She was almost dying of anxiety.
"I am not trying to remind her. I am only trying to prick the Queen's guilty heart. If Ling Xiang really has that brain, wouldn't it be satisfying to watch them fight each other? It's a pity that Ling Xiang may not have that brain." Concubine Hua is in a good mood today and explains a few more things to Song Zhi.
"So that's how it is. I am the stupid one, and your majesty is the wise one." (I really don't dare to type "smart")
"Oh, by the way, what's for lunch today?"
Song Zhi: ······
"I was in a hurry to accompany you out just now, and I didn't go to the small kitchen to take a look."
"It's okay. There's no harm in leaving a little surprise." Concubine Hua asked casually, "Songzhi, have you prepared the ingredients for the four kinds of flower water for washing hands in spring, summer, autumn and winter that I asked you to make last time?"
Songzhi: Your Majesty, do you think everyone is as gifted as An Changzai?
"I am not talented enough, not yet."
"Oh, not yet. You better hurry up, or this spring will be gone."
"Yes."
Concubine Hua's mind was clattering with calculations. Zhou Ninghai followed closely behind the sedan chair. He could not be locked outside anymore.
Arriving at the Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua stepped over the threshold of the palace and was about to say in a sweet voice, "Xiao Huanzi, close the door."
A lot of noise later reached Hua Fei's ears.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty. My legs are not as strong as your sedan chair that is carried by eight people." Xin Changzai was bending over in the back, panting.
Concubine Hua had just knelt down to pay her respects, and the rest of the people also knelt down to pay their respects.
Xin Chang kept thinking about Nanny Zhang's matter and felt that it would be better to interrogate her as soon as possible, for fear that something unexpected would happen like what happened to Noble Lady Fucha.
She hurried all the way to catch up.
Hua Fei stood at the door waiting for Xin Changzai to approach. When Xin Changzai came in, Hua Fei wanted to say, "Xiao Huanzi, close the door."
The sedan chairs of Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui appeared from the corner of the long street like a long queue.
Judging from the situation, it doesn't seem like they are going back to their own palaces. They all seem to be running towards the Yikun Palace.
"Ouch, why are you walking so fast? It hurts my waist." Cuiguo helped Concubine Qi get off the sedan chair. Concubine Qi rubbed her waist and complained about Concubine Hua.
Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang also got off the sedan chair behind.
"What's the matter, Sister Qi Fei?"
"It's okay." Concubine Qi calmed down, "If it's okay, can't I come to you?"
Concubine Qi rolled her eyes speechlessly at Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua looked at the other two people.
"Are you two not going back to the palace to take care of the children?"
Concubine Hua was puzzled. The feng shui of the Yikun Palace was quite evil today. Was it so attractive?
Just as Concubine Hua finished asking, she saw a small figure poking out from the Xianfu Palace diagonally opposite. After not seeing him for a long time, Wen Yi walked more and more skillfully, with a wet nurse following behind him.
Looking at Chuxiu Palace behind Yikun Palace, the wet nurse also came out carrying Jinghe.
"I heard that your palace is having a hotpot meal at noon today, so we all came here to ask for help." Concubine Jing smiled, revealing a row of neat teeth.
Concubine Hua turned her head and looked at Songzhi behind her. How come she didn’t know that they were going to have hotpot for lunch today?
Songzhi lowered her head, huddled together and said nothing. These ladies had arrived too early.
"Miss Songzhi said that the Yiku Palace prepared a pot today and specially invited us to come and taste it." Shen Meizhuang felt strange when she saw Concubine Hua's confused look, so she explained.
Hua Fei turned her head again and looked at Song Zhi behind her, "Really?"
Songzhi shrank her neck and dared not speak: Empress Huifei, you are too honest.
"Hey, now that you're here, why are you standing at the door? Let's go inside first." Concubine Qi pulled Xin Changzai inside, and their footsteps were so skillful as if they had entered Changchun Palace.
"Xiao Huanzi, don't close the door later. Cuiguo, go to Changchun Palace and get my mahjong. There are many people here today, so it's a good time to set up a mahjong game."
Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang also followed into the Yikun Palace.
Only Hua Fei, Song Zhi and Zhou Ninghai were left standing at the door staring at each other.
"My lady, I noticed that you didn't go out all day, so... I didn't expect you to go out today. What a coincidence, what a coincidence."
Songzhi explained awkwardly.
"So we're having a pot for lunch today."
Songzhi: ??? Your Majesty, your emphasis seems to be off.
This pot was originally only available in October, but now in spring, the Yiku Palace is eating it.
Concubine Hua ignored Songzhi and walked into the main hall.
Nowadays, this group of people are increasingly not considering themselves outsiders.
Walking into the hall, the wet nurse held Jinghe in her arms. After Wen Yi could walk more and more steadily, he became very active.
The wet nurse didn't keep an eye on her, and when Concubine Hua saw it, the girl stacked two cushions together and tried to climb from the cushions to the incense table.
"Wen Yi, what do you want to do?" After having Linglong, Concubine Hua felt that these were all small scenes.
"Fat baby, fat baby, Empress Hua, we want the fat baby." Wen Yi said as he reached out to grab the Maitreya Buddha.
Fortunately, no incense was burned today, otherwise Wen Yi would have been scalded by now.
"You can't touch this. Empress Hua will get you something else." Concubine Hua pinched Wen Yi's armpits with both hands and took him down from the futon.
What's going on? Shouldn't this little girl be quiet and gentle?
Why do they all like to climb up the ladder?
"Concubine Jing, why don't you keep an eye on Wen Yi?" Concubine Hua hurried Wen Yi to Concubine Jing's side, and asked Songzhi to bring Wen Yi the wooden carved fat lucky doll that Linglong had taken a fancy to outside the palace last time.
Wen Yi has gained a lot of weight after not seeing him for a long time.
"It's okay. Climbing up and down helps children grow taller." Concubine Jing took a sip of Biluochun tea from Lanzhi, which was so fragrant that her mouth was full of saliva.
Concubine Hua was just about to ask whether this was said by the imperial physician or by Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi quickly spoke up, "That's right. When the Third Prince was a child, I didn't restrict him too much. Now he's grown taller, right? This child needs to be able to move around."
Concubine Hua: It is my blessing not to have children.
Concubine Qi is indeed the only concubine in the harem who has raised a child, and she does have a lot of say in front of Concubine Jing, Shen Meizhuang and others.
