Chapter 218: Tiger Roar and Dragon Yin He Nongzhang (3)

My cheeks flushed slightly, but my voice solemnly said, "Today is the big day of Concubine Hui, the emperor must always be there."
As I said, I looked up at him, and saw a joking look in his eyes. I knew I was teasing me. I just didn't see it at the moment, and walked out side by side with him.
Pinghu Qiuyue is built on the north bank of Feilong Pond. It is a three-volume high platform and double eaves hall built after the famous scenic spot "Pinghu Qiuyue" in the south of the Yangtze River. Leaning against the mountain and the lake, the bamboo trees are densely covered. This is also the best place for autumn night viewing. Every autumn, the moon is bright and the waves are bright, and the sky is boundless. Shen Xiyao once wrote a poem: "I can't distinguish between the sky and the water, the knot pool hall celebrates the coolness of the sky, and the lotus smoke and lotus are in the sky. Bai Fu Su Gong is elegant, and a cup persuades to dance the neon clothes. At this time, no one will visit the Qiantang."
When we arrived, the concubines and concubines had gathered, and the stars surrounded Hui Fei with a smile and Yan Yan.
Concubine Hui wore a magenta woven gold-luan bird large-sleeved shirt, Xia 帔 with crimson multicolored gold and silver silk cloud sea long skirt, set off her plump body, white skin, shiny muscles and bones, plus a full head of gold ornaments even more shows the second product benefits The concubine is dignified, graceful and luxurious. Since she was a new mother, her eyebrows and eye corners are all gentle and feminine. It is completely different from her former plain and elegant. Today's Concubine Hui is rich in qualifications, like a bottle of mellow and fragrant wine, clear but not light, strong but not gorgeous.
I whispered to Shen Xiyao: "Sister Huifei used to be too clean and simple, but now she is really different! The concubines think she is so beautiful."
Shen Xiyao inadvertently smiled appreciatively on her face and nodded: "It seems that after a woman gave birth, it really changed a lot."
I hid my mouth and smiled and said, "Sister Huifei is blessed. The concubine may be worried that she will be out of shape by then. You don't like Xiyao anymore."
He was moved by the intimacy in my words, and he held my hand tightly, and his eyes looked at me softer as spring water.
I only felt a cold gaze across my face. The place where the gaze came from was the position of Concubine Hui, the head of the concubines. I looked at her, the woman who has been in the palace and drove the longest, in fact Should have the most status in the palace. For so many years, she seems to be very indifferent to the favored Concubine Liu and the domineering Concubine Li. She is always dignified and general. Although there is no long pet, she has a long-lasting love.
I think she has been forbearing, and after so many years of keeping a low profile, she has finally gained the dignity of one person in the harem today. In fact, she is the smartest.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind. Without me, even though Concubine Liu is favored, she is narrow-minded. Although Li Fei is bright and colorful, but domineering. The Queen Mother will not let them become queens. Well, Concubine Hui, she has a distinguished family background and qualifications, and she has an atmosphere. Without me, she would be the most suitable queen in the harem.
So? ? I felt a strange feeling. Is it true that becoming a queen is also the deepest secret in Huifei's heart?
"The concubine pleases the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The concubine Hui led a group of concubines and ordered the wives to bow to the ground, and said loudly: "The concubine pleases the queen and the empress, the queen is thousands of years old."
Shen Xiyao let go of the hand that was holding me, stepped forward to help Concubine Hui, and then said to everyone: "Get up all."
Yi Fei and I looked at each other, each with a sorrowful smile, and then looked away gently.
Concubine Liu stood behind Concubine Hui, her beautiful eyes looked at Shen Xiyao, who was smiling warmly at Concubine Hui, with grief and jealousy in her eyes.
Huiju helped me to walk towards the phoenix couch, Shen Xiyao sat on the dragon chair, and motioned to Concubine Hui to sit down where he started.
After everyone sat down by rank, Shen Xiyao smiled at Concubine Hui: "First name the prince."
Concubine Hui smiled shyly, but she was a little bit unwilling in her eyes, and said softly: "The concubine will let them carry the child out."
Shen Xiyao shook his head and glanced at me gently and said: "The queen is pregnant, it is not suitable to see a newborn baby, for fear of collision. You will take the decree on behalf of the prince."
As soon as the words came out, Concubine Hui and I were both taken aback. I was about to speak. Concubine Hui had already stood up and saluted, with a calm and respectful tone, "It is the imperfect thought of the concubine, and I hope the empress will forgive her."
Afterwards, Zhang Dehai held the edict and said to the concubine Hui happily: "Please take the name of the little prince with the concubine."
After all, Concubine Hui hadn't been sealed at this time, so although she was dissatisfied with Zhang Dehai calling her "Concubine", she couldn't do anything.
Concubine Hui prowled at Shen Xiyao three times and unfolded the Huang Zhaoshu. She was surprised and overjoyed on her face: "The concubine's concubine, the emperor Shen Shengyuan, is pleased to thank the emperor for giving her a name."
Only then did I know that the name Shen Xiyao chose for the emperor's eldest son was "Shengyuan". I can also understand the joy on the face of Concubine Hui, this "Yuan", but a word in the name of Huangdi, the deep meaning is self-evident.
Sure enough, both the concubine and the concubine below were shocked, and the eyes looking at Concubine Hui became more respectful and congratulated. And Yue Guiren, I seemed to glance at her accidentally, and I was even more excited than others.
With a decent smile, I said, "Congratulations to the eldest son of the emperor, this is a good name."
Concubine Hui carefully put away her proud look on her face, and bowed to me: "The concubine thanked the empress empress for praise on behalf of the emperor."
I looked at Shen Xiyao, his eyes were calm, and he smiled softly at me. It suddenly occurred to me that I asked him what name he had named for the eldest son of the emperor that day. He only laughed without answering, but said, "I thought of a good name for our child!"
So I was relieved and reminded him softly: "The emperor, it's time to read the edict to the concubine."
Shen Xiyao nodded and motioned to Zhang Dehai. When the surroundings calm down, Concubine Hui is still kneeling on the ground, but her body is trembling slightly. I know that it is not tension, but excitement.
"Feng Tian, ​​the emperor's edict said: today there is Feng Shi Shuxian, the door is Xunyong, the Dihua Yinghong, and the talent is selected into the backyard. The famous pepper, Deguanglanye; in the palace pot, Heng I bowed myself; I never went to my head between my concubines and my daughters; I gave birth to a prince, and his achievements are clear. I am the second concubine, the second-ranked concubine, and this is my honor!"
Concubine Hui held the edict three times and knelt nine times to thank God.
I sat up and said solemnly: "In the future, I hope that the concubine Hui will practice her position, abide by women's way, honour the harem, respect the ceremonies of the ancestors, give the prudence while giving care, and raise the eldest son of the prince, and most of them will be the royal family."
Concubine Hui bowed to me again, and I personally handed her the golden seal of Concubine Hui.
So, Li Cheng. From now on, she will be the first concubine of Zhang Xuan Emperor Shen Xiyao. In this harem, below one person, above ten thousand!
Concubine Hui was overwhelmed with joy and triumph, and after praising her thanks again, she sat on the right hand side of Shen Xiyao and looked at him affectionately. And Shen Xiyao also gave her an affectionate look, which made others envious.
After Zhang Dehai ordered the banquet, I coughed slightly and owed Shen Xiyao: "The emperor, the concubines will leave first."
Concubine Hui was surprised: "Don't the empress empress have a feast with us?"
I only looked at Shen Xiyao with a smile, and he looked at me with concern: "Is it uncomfortable?"
In this case, how can I say that I am not comfortable? Only said: "The imperial doctor ordered only one hour to come out, so I asked the emperor to forgive me, and sister Huifei to be considerate."
Shen Xiyao nodded and stood up: "Yes, I will send you back."
I saw the resentment flashing in Hui Fei's eyes, and gave Shen Xiyao a nudge, with a generous smile: "Today is a good day for Hui Fei's sister and the emperor's eldest son. The emperor should be by their mother and son." I gestured to Huiju, she stepped forward to firmly support my arm, and then I leaned towards Shen Xiyao: "The concubine retire."
Shen Xiyao said uneasy: "You came out with only a few attendants, so I don't worry about going back."
I lowered my eyes and thought about it. Yu Guang saw the concubine in front of her: "If the emperor is not at ease, sister Yi concubine has always been stable, so let her send her concubine back."
Concubine Yi immediately stepped forward upon hearing the words: "Thanks to the empress, empress for her trust, this is the blessing of the concubine."
Shen Xiyao looked at her, then looked at me, and when he saw that I insisted, he agreed.
Concubine Yi held my other arm, and the concubines on both sides kneeled to the ground: "Send the empress and empress." In this respect, I slowly walked out of the hall step by step.
Walking out of Pinghu Qiuyue, heading east is the direction of Kunning Palace. Concubine Yi was about to help me up, but I waved her hand: "It's so easy to come out, this palace wants to breathe."
Concubine Yi glanced at my high-pitched belly worriedly: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that you can only come out for an hour? Niangniang should go back earlier."
Hui Ju whispered from the side: "The imperial doctor said that, but she also said that the empress can move around appropriately, and it will be easier when she gives birth."
Only then did Yi Fei relax, "Where do you want to go for a walk?"
I pointed to the Zibi Mountain House not far away, "Go over there."
I found a pavilion and sat down, Yi Fei played with a gold-wrapped Tangyu chrysanthemum pendant on her waist, and smiled at me, her smile is comparable to the golden light on the lake at this time.
"The name that Niang Niang chose for the eldest son of the emperor is really good." She put her cheek in one hand: "Shengyuan, Concubine Hui doesn't know how happy she will be."
I took a red gold and red pomegranate hairpin off my head and stroked the pomegranate seeds that were lifelikely carved and said, "My palace and you know the name at the same time. Before," I sneered: "The emperor did not take the register. Show it to my palace."
"But, Concubine Hui is indeed your empress." Concubine Yi threw away the jade pendant and looked at the sparkling lake in the distance.
"She gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and she should be the concubine Hui." I pretended not to see Concubine Yi, and my eyes were sad.
"The concubine understands." Concubine Yi still looked respectful, "It's just," she hesitated for a moment and finally said: "It's just that, Concubine Hui and the empress will become a fire and water."
I didn't take it seriously: "Originally, she was the oldest concubine in this palace, and you couldn't get past it."
"The concubine didn't want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Hui, just because she was worthless. She treated you like that, but you?" Yi Fei blurted out.
"Why did she treat this palace?" Although I looked at her with a smile, my eyes were cold.
Concubine Yi twisted the veil in her hands, biting her lip, her face was pale, but she didn't speak.
I waved, Hui Ju took the eunuchs and palace ladies around Shili away, I looked at Yi Fei: "Now you can talk."
Concubine Yi looked at me carefully, after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke.
"The concubine didn't want to say, I was afraid that it would disturb my mother's fetus." She lowered her eyes, her hands trembled lightly, as if she had fear in her heart.
"It's okay."
"That's what happened when the empress came back." Concubine Yi sat upright and said a little uneasy: "The concubine and other sisters went to visit the pregnant concubine. When they came back, I remembered that I forgot to send the peace I asked for from Guanyin Temple. He returned to Paixue Palace with the fetal talisman. Unfortunately, I heard that Hefei was scolding Yueguiren.
"Oh?" I got interested, and leaned forward slightly: "What did you hear?"
Concubine Yi pursed her lips and thought about it for a moment: "The concubine only heard that He concubine seemed to be very angry, saying that Yue Gui was useless, and it was hard to find a chance now that she left it at such a good time. Yue Gui argued. It was said that the snake was released and the medicine was given. I didn't expect it to be so fateful.
My brows furrowed tightly, "What's next?"
