Luoyang Brocade Chapter 331: Servant
The emperor's grandson and the king of Yan were at each other's throats.
After Jiang Rongyue came in, the two of them stopped at the same time.
The emperor's grandson glanced around and saw no sign of Ling Jingshu. He frowned slightly but didn't ask anything. He only said to Jiang Rongyue: "You are weak, so you should not work too hard. Sit down and rest for a while."
Jiang Rongyue responded meekly, sat down and waited.
The side hall quickly became quiet.
Half an hour later, the emperor finally woke up. Hearing that the emperor's grandson had arrived with his concubine, the emperor immediately ordered the two of them to go in.
After some greetings, the emperor's grandson told the emperor that Jiang Rongyue was pregnant.
After hearing the good news, the emperor was delighted and rewarded him with a bunch of supplements.
After having lunch with the emperor, the emperor's grandson and Jiang Rongyue left the palace and returned to the prince's residence together. After getting on the carriage, the couple took off the smiles on their faces and remained silent.
After a long while, Jiang Rongyue broke the silence: "Your Highness, why don't you ask me what you said to Ling Jingshu today?"
The Emperor Taisun pursed his thin lips tightly, and his eyes were cold: "Does it matter what you say?"
He had been forced to cut off all his reluctance and turned a blind eye to Ling Jingshu's situation. It was obvious what Jiang Rongyue would say to Ling Jingshu.
Jiang Rongyue looked at the handsome and indifferent face of the emperor's grandson, and felt pain in her heart. She said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I know you blame me. But I am doing this for you, for our children, and for the prince. For the sake of the house. Apart from her, no matter who His Highness likes or wants to bring into the house in the future, I will never stop him!"
The emperor's grandson closed his eyes and did not want to open his mouth to talk about this topic again.
Then there was silence all the way.
……
From this day on, Ling Jingshu officially became an errand.
What I do every day is similar to what I did in Jiaofang Hall before. There is only one more thing: to "serve" the potted plants in the emperor's bedroom every morning, and to show his face in front of the emperor.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
The emperor's eyes fell on her more and more.
Fortunately, the emperor's dragon body is weak. He has the heart but not the physical strength. As the emperor, he cannot do anything impetuous. The most he can do is look at her a few more times.
Wei Yan spent most of every day in the Zichen Palace, diagnosing pulses, administering acupuncture, adjusting prescriptions, and sometimes chatting with the emperor to relieve his boredom.
There are many opportunities for her to meet Wei Yan. It's just that there are many people in Zichen Palace, so both of them are very cautious and only maintain courtesy and greetings in front of people.
Only when our eyes meet occasionally, can we indulge ourselves for a short moment, and the sweetness that only each other knows is welling up in our hearts.
Even though the environment is difficult, even though the road ahead is bumpy, even though there are many difficulties. It cannot stop lovers who are in love with each other from silently supporting each other.
The emperor also asked Wei Yan twice in private: "Physician Wei, how is Lady Ling's illness? Are you sure it can be cured?"
Wei Yan respectfully raised his hands and responded: "Return to the Emperor. Because Ling's illness is special, Wei Chen cannot diagnose her pulse, so he can only inquire about her condition and make a diagnosis. Wei Chen gave her a prescription and asked her to follow it. The prescription is to drink the medicine every day. It has not been effective in a short period of time. Please be patient for a while, Your Majesty."
The emperor did not have any suspicion, but there was more pity in his tone: "It is really a pity that such a young girl has such a strange disease. You should pay more attention to it, no matter what, To cure her. If you need any rare medicinal materials, just ask people to go to Tai Hospital to find them. If they don’t exist in Tai Hospital, just ask people to go outside the palace to find them."
Wei Yan responded with a smile: "I will obey the emperor's will. The emperor is generous and benevolent. It is also her blessing that Ling can serve as an errand in the Zichen Palace and be so favored and valued by the emperor."
No matter how pleasant this is to your ears.
The emperor felt comfortable, his brows relaxed, and he said with a smile: "When did you learn to flatter me?"
Wei Yan said with a smile: "Wei Chen has been serving the emperor for many years, and his tongue has become clumsy every day. He can only tell the truth, but there is no way to flatter him. Your Majesty, please don't make fun of Wei Chen."
The emperor was coaxed into smiling: "You are clumsy in your tongue, so there is no one in this palace who speaks to my liking."
Eunuch Ding also joined in the fun: "Yes, I'm looking at it. In this palace, the one who has the most trust and favor from the emperor is Dr. Wei. Oh, and now there is an additional female official Ling."
Wei Yan glanced at Eunuch Ding calmly.
This Eunuch Ding is famous for being cunning and difficult to deal with, and he is also the best at pleasing the emperor. If Eunuch Ding notices his secret love with Ling Jingshu, it will be very bad.
Fortunately, Eunuch Ding didn't say any more, as if he just said this inadvertently.
The chamberlain came in and reported: "Empress Jieyu and Princess Anya have come to pay their respects to the emperor and are waiting outside."
Hearing that Wei Jieyu and Princess Anya were coming, the emperor's eyebrows softened a little: "Let them come in!"
……
Wei Jieyu, dressed in light pink palace attire, has a beautiful face and graceful temperament. With a smile on her lips, she saluted: "My concubine, please give your regards to the emperor."
Princess Anya, who followed Wei Jieyu, was childish and cute, with an innocent look on her face: "Father, are you feeling better?"
The emperor smiled and said, "When I saw you, my health immediately improved."
The emperor only had two daughters. After the eldest daughter Changping, who was originally his favorite, was sent to Ciyun Nunnery, the father's love naturally transferred to Princess Anya.
Princess Anya is not as eloquent as Princess Changping, but she is better than Princess Changping in her innocence, kindness, cuteness and innocent heart. The emperor was tired of scheming women, but he found his younger daughter more and more pleasing to his eyes. ~IndoMTL.com~ Princess Anya sat beside the bed and chatted with the emperor in a low voice: "Father, my daughter has begun to become popular in the past few days. My daughter wants to give the first embroidered handkerchief to her father. Is it good?"
After a pause, he blushed in embarrassment: "It's just that the embroidery doesn't look good. Father, please don't dislike it."
"How could my father dislike the handkerchief Anya embroidered by herself?" The emperor smiled.
Wei Jieyu felt quite happy as she watched the emperor and Anya talking and laughing. He stepped forward and said: "The emperor's birthday is coming soon. I came here today just to ask the emperor for instructions on how to organize this birthday banquet?"
In previous years, Empress Xu hosted the birthday banquet.
This year the task fell to Li Shufei and Wei Jieyu. Concubine Li Shu was old, weak in physical strength, and knew that she would not be happy with the emperor, so she simply passed on the job of showing her face to Wei Jieyu.
When the emperor thought about the birthday banquet, he couldn't help but think of Empress Xu, and subconsciously frowned: "In previous years, there was too much extravagance and waste, so there is no need to do so this year. Pass on my instructions and keep everything simple." (To be continued.)
