Chapter 176: Attendance record

The emperor was staring at the battle report on the table in a daze, and Duke Qin finally came back from the outside, holding something in his hand and said: "The emperor, my wife's reply."
Reaching out to take it, Yu Wenjie returned to his senses and opened his eyes brightly, only to find that it was also a painting.
"What does this mean?" He narrowed his eyes for a long time, but he still couldn't understand, and helplessly asked Qin Gonggong.
Duke Qin leaned his head and frowned, "This...this should be your mother who is holding the child. You should be the one who is holding the baby. You should be running towards the mother. It probably means that the mother is looking forward to your triumph. Go back."
Yu Wenjie was taken aback, and after watching for a long time, it seemed to mean that.
"Then beat the drums and send troops."
Duke Qin nodded and was about to go out to pass the order, who knew that the emperor himself also stood up.
"The emperor?" He was startled. Wouldn't this master want to go out and join the battle on the battlefield?
Thinking correctly, Yu Wenjie stretched out his hand and pulled the cloak next to him and wrapped it around his body, then strode out.
Duke Qin's face turned pale, and he continued to persuade him: "The emperor, there is General Huo, you don't need to..."
"I go, morale will be better."
"The reason is the same, but you need to take care of the dragon body. There is no eye on the battlefield. In case of any accident..."
"I've been ahead all the way. I can see who hurt me?" Yu Wenjie tilted his head and his eyes were clear: "I am not an embroidered pillow, and I don't need to be guarded behind a human wall. The knife should be taken out for use, or else kept on. Now, waiting for rust?"
Duke Qin: "..."
Shocked by the emperor's momentum, he opened his mouth and couldn't say much, so he could only bow and watch the emperor lift the curtain out, his back was tall.
Huachun was still folding a thousand paper cranes, muttering while folding the edges: "I don't know if he can understand what I drew."
Qing Qi said: "You painted so simple and rudely, the emperor would not fail to understand."
Do not ask you to kill thousands of enemies, but ask you to return safely. The painting Huachun felt that she gave Yu Wenjie a realistic art class. The horse head turned around expressed her wish for him to return safely, and the figure of herself holding the child expressed her expectation for his return. Hope and wait!
She feels that she is very talented in drawing.
"Manny."
He Changan walked in, looked at her and said, "We have to go into the palace."
For a moment, Huachun put down the things in his hand and looked at him: "What happened?"
It's rare to see him with such a serious expression. In the past few days, staying in the Hou Mansion has been calm, rare and leisurely. What big things can happen?
Taking a deep breath, He Changan pursed his lips: "Get on the carriage first, and then talk more about it on the road."
"Okay." Huachun got up, put on a thick outer robe, and supported the green handcart.
In the mid-winter weather, she wore a large fox fur cloak, so even if her belly bulged out, others couldn't see clearly, at best they thought she had gained weight. It has been a long time since Huachun was in a good mood.
As a result, after sitting down and listening to what He Changan said, she became bored.
"I don't know how the news leaked in the palace. Someone went to tell the queen mother that you were pregnant." He Changan said: "Now the situation is a bit embarrassing. You have been concealing the queen mother without telling it, but the month of your body is more expensive than Wu. It's still big, there are a lot of rumors in the palace, so today I have to accompany you into the palace to explain."
Hua Chun was silent, her face was not very pretty.
You don’t need to think about what the group of long-tongued women would say. After being pregnant for so long, she hasn’t said anything. Once the emperor left, she went to the Hou Mansion to have a baby. Now she was exposed to pregnancy by others, and the queen mother probably wouldn’t take it. Look at her with a good face.
This day is still coming, and what should be faced is still to be faced.
Taking a deep breath, Huachun sat in a precarious manner, staring straight ahead, secretly preparing herself for the battle.
The atmosphere in the Huiming Hall was very solemn. The queen mother leaned on the soft couch and rubbed her forehead. Wu Gui's concubine sat on the side with her belly covered. There were many concubines beside her, but none of them spoke.
Huachun went in with He Chang'an and saluted: "Please peace to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother did not say a word, did not raise her eyelids, but Huachun felt an invisible pressure, like a huge stone, pressed down from the top of her head.
So she knelt down slowly, kneeling upright.
He Changan felt a little distressed, but he could only continue to give his hands. It would be outrageous if he knelt down together.
After half a stick of incense, the queen mother raised her head, her eyes fell on the two people in front of her coldly: "Is Concubine Dee still doesn't like letting the imperial doctor get her pulse?"
With a heartbeat, Huachun stretched out her hand, opened her sleeve and exposed her wrist: "If the queen mother wants to take the pulse of the concubine, the concubine is not unhappy."
"Very good." The queen mother nodded and lifted her chin slightly, and the doctor next to her came over to get her pulse.
Yuejian reached out and helped Huachun onto the chair next to him. The imperial doctor took less than a minute to get the pulse, and then said: "It's obviously a happy pulse. It should have been more than three months."
Despite guessing it early in the morning, everyone present, including the queen mother, couldn't help taking a breath.
"Concubine De, you... knew it early in the morning?" The queen mother asked her with complicated eyes.
Huachun nodded, and then knelt down and said: "The emperor knew about the matter early in the morning, but the harem was sinister, and many people stared at the concubine, so the emperor asked the concubine to conceal it, planning to wait for the fetal image to stabilize before telling the queen mother. But... last time I wanted to talk about it, Wu Gui's concubine happened to be pregnant too, and the queen mother had no time for him to take care of, so his concubine gave up."
With this explanation, the queen mother's face looked much better, and she also remembered that Defei said that she wanted to speak with her alone, but was interrupted by Wu Guibi's pregnancy. At that time, she just wanted to talk about pregnancy.
Originally, this matter was first spoken of by others, but the queen mother was very unhappy. She was hiding this thing while pregnant. Isn't it clear that there is a ghost? But after she figured it out, she figured it out, and De Fei just wanted to be alone.
"In that case, Empress De Concubine was pregnant earlier than Empress Wu Gui. If she gave birth to a prince, she would be the eldest son of the emperor." Xu Guipi whispered.
Wu Guibi's face was slightly stiff, but he still smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a good thing that we have many harem sons."
The Queen Mother glanced at her appreciatively, and then said: "Whoever has the prince, whoever can take the back seat. However, the Ai family does not want any fighting between the two of you because of this. The young, the young and the young, must support each other. It is."
Hua Chun nodded and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard the next to him say: "The empress dowager, can I ask the doctor to figure out the specific pregnancy time? So that the minion can check the records of the attendance."
The queen mother nodded: "This is necessary. It is also for the sake of my prince Liang's pedigree. Please see the doctor again."
Huachun stretched out her hand cooperatively, thinking that this shouldn't be a big problem. In the end, she reacted after extending her hand. According to the calculation of the day, the emperor was a nocturnal during that time, and he turned the window to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. How could the House of Internal Affairs have a record of attending the bed?
There was a layer of cold sweat behind her back, and Huachun subconsciously made a gesture of recycling her hands.
This action fell in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and it seemed particularly guilty.
The aunt Yuejian next to her helped her to fix her wrist gently. The royal doctor examined her for a long while and said: "It should be about three and a half months pregnant. The father-in-law can estimate the bedtime based on this."
The nodded and immediately checked it with the booklet. The more he faced, the more ugly his face became: "Is it three and a half months for the royal doctor, isn't it four months?"
"No, it's not enough, it's obvious, so it's the same to call other doctors to diagnose." The doctor said firmly.
The queen mother's face became heavy, she glanced at the eunuch, then swept across Saw Huachun and He Changan, and suddenly said, "The rest of the people are all going down. The Ai family has something to ask Hou Ye and Defei separately."
Everyone glanced at each other, they couldn't help thinking in a crooked place, secretly glanced at the parties, and then bowed out.
He Changan frowned, clenched his fists, but couldn't refute anything. After all, the queen mother didn't say anything, just gave such an order.
The of the House of Internal Affairs immediately knelt down and said, "The Concubine De Fei was still a flower girl at the beginning, and the attendance records were only available four months ago, about three and a half months...There is no attendance record, but I left the palace and gave a kiss."
