Chapter 399 Wen Yi 28
Ulanara Yixiu quickly recalled a line of poetry.
"Wan, I remember in Tang poetry and spring lyrics..."
It seems there's a line that goes something like, "The willow branches are lush and yellow, and the flowers are drooping in the mist."
The chubby orange-haired man said, "I find Lady Zhen's gentle smile quite beautiful."
These words successfully increased Ulanara Yixiu's wariness of Zhen Huan.
Hearing what the chubby orange said, Ulanara Yixiu could only smile in response.
Big Fat Orange then remembered that Hongshi didn't have a concubine yet.
“Hongshi is fifteen this year, it’s time to have a baby for him.”
Ulanara Yixiu heard the fat orange tree mention Hongshi's bedroom affairs.
Her expression changed instantly, and she knew in her heart that something was wrong.
Hongshi was the emperor's eldest son, and in her heart, the emperor's throne...
From now on, it will be Hongshi's turn, and Hongshi's wife will naturally be a girl from the Ulanara clan.
But among the girls of the Ulanara family's generation, only Qingying was barely suitable.
But Qingying was a few years younger than him, which is why she delayed.
No one was assigned to Hongshi's side, otherwise Qingying wouldn't have entered the manor yet.
Hongshi then had a favored concubine by his side.
The chubby orange cat noticed the Empress's unusual expression and felt displeased.
"Your Majesty, as the legal mother, why are you so indifferent to Hongshi's lifelong happiness?"
Ulanara Yixiu hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I was only thinking that Hongshi is still young."
I want to wait until he's older before I choose a proper one for him.
The big, fat orange cat snorted coldly.
"Fifteen years old is not young anymore. When the late Emperor was my age..."
They already have many grandchildren; I'm quite impressed with the ladies selected this time.
There was a woman surnamed Liu and another surnamed Jiang, both from good families.
She is gentle and compliant, and has a pleasing appearance; let her be given to Hongshi as a princess.
Ulanara Yixiu was unwilling, but could only express her gratitude and reply:
"Your Majesty is wise, your concubine obeys the decree."
The big, fat orange cat waved its hand.
"Get up. You should carefully consider the arrangements for the palace for the selected ladies, so as not to make any mistakes."
Ulanara Yixiu hurriedly agreed.
After she left the Hall of Mental Cultivation,
Ulanara Yixiu's face instantly turned gloomy.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Why would the Emperor, who was perfectly fine, suddenly decide to place someone by Hongshi's side?
Jianqiu remained outside the door, unaware of what the Emperor and Empress were saying inside.
Seeing that the Empress looked unwell, it wasn't appropriate for her to ask while she was outside.
Once back at Jingren Palace, Jianqiu dared to step forward and ask:
"Your Majesty, what did the Emperor say that made you so angry?"
Ulanara Yixiu sat in front of the dressing table, letting Jianqiu remove the hair ornaments from her head.
She said with a gloomy expression, "The Emperor has suddenly decided to add more people to Hongshi's side."
Jianqiu frowned upon hearing this; she had served the Empress for so many years.
She understands the Empress's thoughts best.
As Jianqiu gently combed the Empress's long hair, she asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed somewhat sudden."
Is Consort Qi eager to have a grandson?
What did they whisper in the Emperor's ear?
So that's why the Emperor thought of adding more people to the Third Prince's entourage?
Ulanara Yixiu snorted coldly upon hearing Jianqiu's words, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes:
"Consort Qi? She doesn't have that ability!"
If she had such intentions, she would have placed someone by Hongshi's side long ago. Why wait until today?
If she had this idea, she would have discussed it with me first.
How could you possibly do such a thing behind my back?
"I suspect someone is whispering in His Majesty's ear about this."
Jianqiu was slightly taken aback, then a look of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:
"Your Majesty is referring to... Consort Hua?"
Ulanara Yixiu's first reaction was also that of Consort Hua, but she quickly shook her head in denial.
Consort Hua was not the type to think of such things.
At most, Consort Hua would only mention it when Consort Qi said that the Third Prince had grown taller.
I can't help but make a few sarcastic remarks; the Third Prince really isn't very bright.
Jianqiu asked cautiously, "Could it be the Empress Dowager...?"
Ulanara Yixiu thought for a moment and then shook her head.
The Empress Dowager wouldn't have spoken directly to the Emperor without saying a word.
"Tomorrow, arrange for Liu and Jiang to move into Prince Hongshi's courtyard."
They are fortunate to be able to serve Hongshi.
But if they wanted to have Hongshi's child, then forget about it.
Jianqiu clearly understood what Ulanara Yixiu meant.
"Your Majesty, shall we send some rewards over?"
Ulanara Yixiu removed the armor from her hands.
Looking at his fair and slender fingers, he said
"Hmm, send some fabric over there; they're all young, fresh-faced girls."
It's the age when people love to look good.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Xiazi cautiously reminded the chubby orange-haired man who was reviewing memorials.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Which concubine's palace are we visiting tonight?"
still……"
The chubby orange cat looked up and pressed its finger between its eyebrows.
He hadn't seen the harem these past few days, and it really was time for him to go and visit them.
Seeing that the chubby orange looked hesitant, Xiao Xiazi tentatively said:
"Your Majesty, how about we go to Consort Hua's place tonight?"
The Empress has been quite preoccupied with the imperial concubine selection lately, and she misses the Emperor very much.
After Xiaoxia finished speaking, his back started to sweat.
Tianlingkun Palace has indeed been sending people over to deliver things these past few days.
They just wanted the Emperor to visit Consort Hua.
Xiao Xiazi's problem wasn't because he accepted gifts from Consort Hua.
She had just spoken well of Consort Hua in the Emperor's ear.
The main reason is that the Emperor's most frequent destination when visiting the inner palace was Lingkun Palace, where Consort Hua resided.
Xiao Xiazi felt that Consort Hua was indeed very devoted to the Emperor.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange frowned slightly, feeling somewhat hesitant.
He has indeed not gone to the inner palace or visited Shilan these past few days.
But ever since that nightmare in which the King of Hell said he would never have a son again...
He somewhat regretted acquiescing to the Empress Dowager's decision to have Consort Duan deliver medicine that caused Shilan's miscarriage.
Thinking about all this, he temporarily didn't want to face Shilan.
Thinking of the child, Da Pang Liu thought of Wen Yi.
He hadn't visited Wenyi for some time.
Wen Yike is his only daughter.
Big Fat Orange thought for a moment and said to Little Xiazi:
"Let's go to Qixiang Palace. It's been quite a while since we visited Wenyi."
Xiao Xiazi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
When Da Pang Ju arrived at Qixiang Palace, Cao Qinmo was already waiting for him at the palace gate.
Upon seeing the large, chubby orange, she quickly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I greet you. May Your Majesty be blessed."
Big Fat Orange nodded slightly, signaling her to get up, and then walked straight into Wen Yi's room.
Wen Yi was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a rattle drum in her hand.
They were having a great time, babbling and playing happily.
When she saw the chubby orange cat come in, her little eyes lit up immediately.
She made cheerful noises and waved her little hands like a rattle drum, as if welcoming him.
Big Fat Orange watched as Wenyi sat there steadily and played.
I'm so happy, Wenyi was sickly from birth.
He used to get sick often, but now he can sit and play steadily, which fills him with joy.
He stepped forward, picked up the cloth tiger that was placed to the side, and teased Wen Yixian.
Wenyi giggled and reached out to grab the cloth tiger from the big orange cat's hand.
The big, chubby orange cat also started laughing.
This long-awaited family time greatly improved his mood, which had been rather unpleasant these past few days.
