Chapter 669 Pincer attack! Nangong Lizhu
Nangong Lizhu said: "The Queen is pregnant and her body is slightly ailing now. She really should take good care of herself. In my opinion, it is not appropriate for the Queen to work too hard."
Pei Yuanhao nodded: "Yeah."
Chang Qing glanced at her and said with a smile: "Sister Li Fei has been worrying a lot for me these days."
Nangong Lizhu also smiled and said: "But my concubine is really worried when she sees your empress acting like this just now."
"Oh."
"I heard that recently, His Highness's homework has become more and more arduous. I'm afraid the Queen is working even harder and has no time to spare."
As soon as I heard her words, I sat there calmly, but my lowered eyelashes trembled slightly.
She continued: "Your Majesty is now pregnant with Liujia and is already very tired. It would be too hard to educate the eldest prince. So, I am thinking——"
Before she finished speaking, Chang Qing smiled and said: "What sister Li Fei said makes sense."
Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows: "Queen——"
Chang Qing smiled and turned to Pei Yuanhao and said: "Your Majesty, I have actually had this intention for a long time. Now that I am getting heavier day by day, it is indeed a bit distracting to deal with the affairs of the harem.
, Nian Shen has a lot of lessons to learn, and it’s the most important time to learn. I can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable, and want to ask others to help me look after the eldest prince.”
Pei Yuanhao sat in the chair, gently stroking the edge of the bowl with one hand, and lowered his eyelashes: "Then what is the queen's plan?"
Seeing that Nangong Lizhu was about to say something, Chang Qing had already said: "I plan to ask Qingying to help me look after His Highness for a while."
As soon as she spoke, there was no sound in the room.
Even Pei Yuanhao's fingertips sliding along the edge of the bowl stopped slightly, and Nangong Lizhu's brows were already frowning.
After being silent for a while, Pei Yuanhao said dryly: "Qingying?"
Chang Qing smiled and said: "Yes. Your Majesty also knows that Nianshen was ill before and it was Qingying who took care of him before he recovered. Moreover, Qingying was a straight calligrapher in Jixian Palace and was literate, so she was asked to take care of Nianshen and do his homework.
The concubine is not that worried either. They have a good relationship——"
At this point, as if her words came true, Nian Shen's voice came from outside, trotting in: "Queen Mother——"
As soon as he stepped through the door, Eunuch Yu stopped him at the door. Nian Shen had already seen the room full of people inside, as well as Pei Yuanhao sitting directly above him. He was immediately frightened into silence and straightened his clothes.
Walking in carefully: "Nian Shen paid homage to my father, my mother, and all the empresses."
Pei Yuanhao waved: "Nian Shen, come to Father."
Nian Shen stood up and walked carefully in front of him.
Pei Yuanhao has too many things to do these days. I heard that he spent most of the night in the Imperial Study Room several times. He took time out to visit Chang Qing during the day. He didn't stay long and saw Nian Shen less. My son
Being so young, he felt somewhat alienated. Looking at his cautious eyes, Pei Yuanhao just smiled lightly and reached out to caress his face: "I haven't come to see you these days. Have you studied hard?"
Nianshen nodded hurriedly: "Yes."
"Really?"
Nian Shen nodded seriously and said: "Father once said, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. Regardless of whether Father comes to supervise or not, Nian Shen must do his own thing well. Children and ministers should be obedient."
Hearing these words, Pei Yuanhao seemed to look up at me, and a smile emerged from the corners of his eyes: "My highness, you are sensible."
Being praised like this by him, Nian Shen's cheeks turned slightly red with joy.
Pei Yuanhao raised his head and said: "Qingying."
I had already taken a step forward and said respectfully: "I am here."
"Did you hear what the queen just said?"
"Yes."
He looked at me scorchingly. In such a cold weather, his gaze seemed to be filled with scalding temperature, as if any part of my skin would be burned: "What did you say?"
After a few swipes, everyone turned to look at me.
The house was so quiet, it seemed like you could even hear the sound of the wind outside and the sound of snow falling on the roof.
I said calmly: "But it depends on the emperor and the queen's orders."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone in the room gasping for air. As for who it was, I didn't care. I just raised my head gently and saw Nangong Lizhu's pale face.
A look of shock. She didn't expect that I would answer like this. She couldn't recover for a while and looked at me blankly.
The next moment, her delicate lips pursed slightly, and her cherry red lips were bitten until they turned white.
I still stood there calmly, looking at the eyes with different emotions around me, as if there were holes in my body, but I still thought deeply and said stupidly: "Father, what do you want Aunt Qing to do?
?"
Pei Yuanhao smiled and stretched out his hand, stroking his soft hair: "Nianshen, from now on you will follow - your Aunt Qing, she will take care of you."
Nian Shen suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Pei Yuanhao said: "Your queen mother is not in good health. She needs to take a good breath these days. You have to be obedient and don't make your Aunt Qing angry. Do you understand?"
"..."
Nian Shen still couldn't react, and after a long while he said stupidly: "Ah——"
Pei Yuanhao raised his head and looked at me. There was no joy or other emotions on his face. He was as calm as if nothing had happened: "Since I have to take care of the eldest prince, I will set up another place for you to live.
.Yuquan."
Eunuch Yu hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty."
"Clean up the Yihua Hall tomorrow and Mr. Yue will take His Highness there."
"Yes."
This time, everyone no longer looked surprised, but almost panicked.
Everyone already knew the meaning of Yihua Palace. They had moved in with so much fanfare before, but then came back in despair. Everyone was looking at it as a joke. But now, Pei Yuanhao has brought up the old matter again.
, but the meaning is different from usual.
My canonization may seem to some people to be a matter of time, but if it also carries the heavy responsibility of taking care of Pei Nianshen, it will be even more different.
Lu Xinrong and Zhu Fanghua looked at each other and hesitated several times, but were speechless.
If Shen Rou was still here at this time, she would definitely speak up and point out that I was not a concubine and could not enter the Yihua Palace. But at this time, no one dared to raise this point in this situation.
For a while, everyone fell silent.
I sat back slowly, and Nian Shen seemed to have realized it at this time. He opened his eyes excitedly and looked at his father, emperor and mother, then carefully moved to my side and said softly: "Aunt Qing..."
p>
I looked at him with a smile: "Your Highness."
No matter how many undercurrents there were in this room, the child couldn't see it. Only pure joy made his eyes light up. At this time, Chang Qing looked at us with a smile for a while, then turned her head and leaned against the child slightly.
A few days ago, he said softly: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Pei Yuanhao looked at her and smiled lightly: "What's the big deal that the Queen needs to say 'please' to?"
"I am afraid that the emperor will not allow it."
"That's what you say."
Chang Qing said: "Qingying was originally taking care of my food and daily life these days. I think she had been pregnant before and knew the severity of it, so I felt more at ease. Now she has to move to Yihua Palace to take care of Nian Shen. I think this
The side is short by one person."
Pei Yuanhao smiled and said: "What's the matter? Let Yuquan pick another one."
"Your Majesty, if I want to come here, it would be better to find someone experienced."
"What does the queen mean——"
Chang Qing said: "To choose Mingzhu, I have taken care of you - I have taken care of pregnant women, and I want to take her over. Firstly, she is smart and can do things safely; secondly, I don't have to choose someone anymore, and I also treat her well."
I feel more at ease."
Pei Yuanhao's expression changed slightly.
"You want her to come over?"
"Yes, I hope the emperor will give me permission."
Pei Yuanhao pondered for a while: "But now, she is still taking care of the second prince."
"My concubine also knows, so——" Chang Qing turned her head and looked at Nangong Lizhu, and said with a smile: "Sister Li Fei."
When she was suddenly called, Nangong Lizhu didn't react yet, but when she did, her expression suddenly changed, and she raised her head slightly at a loss: "I am here."
"Thanks to sister Li Fei for helping me solve my problems these days, I think I will help take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace in the future, so my sister will have to worry more."
Nangong Lizhu's expression changed a few times when he mentioned the title of Assistant to the Sixth Palace.
Naturally, she had been looking forward to having this power fall into her hands. As long as she finished this period of work and made no mistakes, she would have her chance after being canonized as a noble concubine. However, when Chang Qing mentioned it at this time, she seemed to be still...
It's a bit difficult to weigh, and even the originally bright and charming smile looks a bit stiff: "The Queen has spoken seriously. It is my duty to share the worries of the Emperor and the Queen."
Chang Qing's smile became more gentle: "Then, my sister will have to work harder on the second prince's affairs?"
Nangong Lizhu's face became stiffer and stiffer.
Just now, she said those words on the pretext that Chang Qing was pregnant with Liujia. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to take care of the eldest prince, but she was cut off by Chang Qing. Now, she continued her words,
But he was replaced by the second prince!
