Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 489 Holy Family (1)

   Lu Mingyu's pregnancy greatly relieved the gloom in everyone's heart.

   Queen Qiao smiled and urged Li Jing: "It's getting late, you go to the court. Things in the harem will be taken care of by this palace, so you don't have to worry about it."

  Li Jing kissed the little face of brother and sister Xuan, and then held Lu Mingyu's hand and instructed again and again. Until Lu Mingyu couldn't bear it any longer, he opened his mouth to expel people. Only then did he go to court in high spirits.

   The half-day meeting came over and was criticized by Emperor Yongjia three times, but it didn't affect Li Jing's good mood.

When the court was leaving, the fourth prince came over with a sympathetic face and patted Li Jing on the shoulder: "Second brother, the fifth brother's troubles are like this, the father is not happy, and I have to let you down these days. to beat."

  Li Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Being a son, it's nothing to be scolded by my own father. Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart at all."

  Look at the complacent look on his face, he really didn’t take it to heart!

  The fourth prince was both amusing and a little strange, and asked casually, "Second brother is in such a good mood today, is there some happy event?"

  Li Jing grinned and dropped a sentence: "You will know later."

   Left without waiting for the fourth prince to ask questions.

  The Fourth Prince: "..."

  Second brother, this is too inauthentic.

  It is said that people who are half hidden and half are the most annoying!

   Li Hao watched coldly, his eyes darkened.

   He figured out what was going on... which made him even more gloomy.

   "His Royal Highness the Third Prince," Eunuch Liu came over with a smile and saluted diligently: "The emperor ordered the servants to pass the word, please go down to the Wenhua Hall and dine with the emperor."

   The haze in Li Hao's heart was swept away, and he responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go right now."

  The days are still long!

   See who can have the last laugh.

  The eldest prince watched Li Hao go with Eunuch Liu to the Wenhua Palace, with no smile on his face, and his heart was full of haze. A few years ago, he was most loved by Emperor Yongjia and was often called into the Wenhua Hall.

   Later, Li Jing, who was in the limelight when he was established as the crown prince.

   Now, the person with a strong holy family has become Li Hao.

  …

  The depressed eldest prince did not go back to the palace, but went directly to the Yanxi Palace.

   Concubine Meng watched the eldest prince limping in, both distressed and annoyed: "I told you how many times. Your legs and feet are not so neat, so you are raised in the prince's mansion, but you want to be brave and enter the palace."

   What can I do if I go to the court?

   just stood there and listened dryly, neither errand nor interrupted. What is this picture? Does the picture look good on the face? Wouldn't it be more embarrassing?

   Concubine Meng didn't say these poking words, and the eldest prince could hear them. His face became more and more ugly: "If Mother Concubine doesn't want to see me, I'll leave now."

   After saying that, he turned around angrily to leave.

   Concubine Meng was angry and helpless, she stepped forward quickly and stopped the eldest prince: "Okay, I said a few words casually, you are shaming your mother. What's wrong with you today? Who provokes you?"

   The eldest prince snorted from his nose: "It's nothing."

   Concubine Meng glanced at the eldest prince and guessed a few points: "Your father, the emperor, called Li Hao to Wenhua Hall."

   The eldest prince snorted again.

Concubine Meng's heart was full of bitterness, and she let out a slow sigh: "You are all princes, and the sons of your father. Your father will call whomever he likes to accompany you. What's wrong with you? You are allowed to be favored, and others are not allowed to be strong?"

   The eldest prince looked down at his right leg, then raised his head and smiled sadly: "I'm half a **** now, what do I think, who cares."

Concubine Meng's nose turned sour, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "You said these heart-piercing words because you wanted to be angry with me. You hurt your leg on the battlefield, and I, my mother, feel more distressed than anyone else. I don't care. But now it's like this, what can I do if I don't accept my fate."

   A terrifying light flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I just don't recognize it."

   The hostility in the words is shocking,

   Concubine Meng was startled, and immediately wiped her tears with her sleeve, and ordered the palace people to step back. Then he said angrily, "You've eaten lard and you're stunned. Can you say such things in front of the palace servants?"

   The eldest prince knew that he was wrong, and his tone softened by three points: "I didn't think of it for a while, and I blurted it out, not on purpose."

Concubine Meng's chest rose and fell for a moment, and she patiently reassured the eldest prince: "It's not bad now. I'm still decent in the palace. No one dares to bully you, the eldest prince. We have nothing to do with each other. We just watch the fun."

Two dogs fight, play off.

   No one can say what will happen in the future.

  The eldest prince didn't know what to think, but his face finally softened: "Mother's words are reasonable. I will be careful in the future."

now it's right.

   Concubine Meng glanced at the eldest prince approvingly, and asked casually, "Is there any movement in Liang's family recently?"

   The eldest prince looked a little uncomfortable, and answered vaguely: "No."

   Concubine Meng's face sank and she snorted, "You've been back in Beijing for more than half a year, why haven't you made a move." The daughter-in-law's belly was too unsatisfactory.

   The eldest prince coughed: "There is brother Tang in the mansion, but it's not that he has no children, so there is nothing to worry about."

   A descendant, how can he be the same as his son?

   Concubine Meng gave the eldest prince a sullen look: "If you were the direct descendant, where would you get Li Jing when you established the Chu Chu."

  The eldest prince was also annoyed: "Can you blame me for not being a concubine? Back then, it was not the mother-in-law who insisted on being a concubine, and as a result, I became the eldest son of a concubine as soon as I was born."

   Concubine Meng: "..."

   Concubine Meng was trembling with anger and couldn't bear it any longer, so she directly threw the eldest prince out. The eldest prince had a calm face and left angrily.

   Leaving Concubine Meng's heart worsened the more she thought about it, and she burst into tears.

  …

  There are no secrets in the palace.

   A few days later, news came out that Crown Princess Lu was pregnant.

  In the past, Lu Mingyu would save time every morning and evening. There are very few people in sight these days. Queen Qiao specially selected an imperial doctor who was good at miscarriage to go to the East Palace. Which means, self-evident.

  The concubines congratulated Queen Qiao.

   Queen Qiao smiled beamingly: "Lu Shi's happy days are short, so he didn't speak up for the time being. I didn't expect that, but you all guessed it."

   Concubine Qin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "The Queen Mother asked the Crown Princess to keep the Crown Princess in the East Palace, and the imperial physician has been sent. If the courtiers and concubines can't guess it again, wouldn't they be fools."

   "This kind of happy event, the concubine is also happy for the Queen and the Crown Princess." The young Wang Jieyu took over the words with a smile: "If the emperor knew about it, he would be happy too."

   Referring to Emperor Yongjia, Queen Qiao's smile faded: "I haven't had time to congratulate the emperor. I just hope that as you said, the emperor will know the good news and be happy."

  The number of times that Emperor Yongjia set foot on Jiaofang Hall was very rare. It is not uncommon for the Empress to not see each other for ten days and a half months.
