Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character
Chapter 447: Lowly Concubine 7
Zhao Yan looked at the little princess who had already opened her eyes, and his heart softened. This was not the first time he had been a father. At first he was very excited when he saw his first child, but then he calmed down and even had no expression on his face.
Zhao Yan stretched out his finger, intending to poke the child's fair and tender face, but just as he stretched out his finger, the little girl took the opportunity to grab his finger, blinking her big watery eyes, looking so adorable.
"Concubine Yu has raised the child very well." In fact, Zhao Yan had long forgotten why he gave her such a title. Perhaps it was because the sun was shining and the spring was bright, Zhao Yan's heart calmed down after a long time. He was even willing to sit on the chair, holding the child and teasing him carefully.
Su Tong was always worried. As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The emperor was indeed a monarch who never showed his emotions. He was afraid that the child would do something to anger the emperor. Even if the child did not mean it, he was afraid that the emperor would think too much.
Until the evening, the emperor showed no intention of leaving, and even had dinner here. Because the child was older, Su Tong also began to prepare complementary foods for the child. Even the meals he ate himself were mostly bland, but extremely healthy.
The emperor was used to eating sumptuous meals, so he still found it a bit novel to eat Qingzhou side dishes, especially when he saw the little kid next to him picking up his own rice spoon and eating ravenously. Even the emperor wanted to help feed the kid, but the child was very independent. He couldn't even walk yet, but he was already eating by himself with the rice spoon.
Zhao Yan also has several sons, but many of them still need to be fed by wet nurses when they are three years old, and sometimes they need nannies and palace maids to coax them. But this little princess of his own does not need anyone to coax her, and she even eats with special relish. No wonder she grows so fair and tender, and you can tell at first glance that she is a good child who is not picky about food.
Zhao Yan also stayed here at night. It was a great thing for other concubines, but for Su Tong, he wanted to roll his eyes to the sky. Who would want to sleep with a stinky man like you? I just want to sleep with my sweet and soft daughter in my arms.
Fortunately, the emperor was just chatting under the quilt this time, and nothing happened between the two. But when they were about to fall asleep, Zhao Yan suddenly said, "Sing a lullaby for me, too."
Su Tong was about to fall asleep, but after hearing this, he could only resign himself to opening his eyes. He smiled gently, and as if coaxing a child, he patted the emperor and hummed a lullaby.
Su Tong originally thought that the other party would be able to fall asleep after listening to two songs, but after singing several songs in succession, the other party still looked energetic. My goodness, if this continues, my throat will really be ruined.
Su Tong could only think of some crooked ideas, such as taking out some sleeping spices from the space when the other party was not paying attention, and then inadvertently pressing a certain acupoint while slapping the other party.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yan fell asleep. Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief, finally being able to sleep peacefully. But even so, he still had to be nervous, fearing that Zhao Yan would wake up in the middle of the night.
The next morning, Zhao Yan woke up early because he had to attend the morning court. Su Tong could only get up and help him put on his clothes while squinting his eyes. What a damn feudalism! After finally sending the person away, Su Tong quickly took a nap.
Su Tong currently only holds the position of Jieyushi, which gives her the special qualification to pay respects to the Empress. However, she only needs to pay respects on the first day of every month, which is called the major payment. The remaining minor payments, which are those on the 15th, are made by concubines above the rank of concubine.
Su Tong felt that the queen was quite nice and didn't make things difficult for them. She only required the queen to pay respects on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and the concubines didn't have to run back and forth.
When Concubine Qing learned that the emperor was resting here, she came to her courtyard with an indignant look on her face, "Sister, you are so lucky. You picked up my leak for nothing."
Su Tong wanted to ask if you wanted this blessing, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. There was no need to say anything to such a stupid woman.
Seeing that Su Tong ignored her, Concubine Qing was no longer angry. Instead, she sat down on the chair next to her, her eyes red with grievance.
"The emperor hasn't come to see me since I became pregnant. He finally came yesterday, but he wanted to leave in less than an incense stick of time. I know it's because I've aged and lost my looks since I became pregnant, and the emperor doesn't want to see me, but it's because I'm pregnant with the royal heir..." Concubine Qing became more and more sad as she spoke, and her tears even fell harder when she touched her face.
Su Tong sighed, and in order to quiet his ears, he could only comfort her: "Good sister, your future does not lie with the emperor, but in your belly. If you continue crying, the prince in your belly will probably be unhappy. Hurry up and put away your tears."
Concubine Qing thought about it and agreed. She had won the emperor's favor with her beauty. Now that her youth was gone, her only support in the future would be the child in her belly, so she wiped away her tears.
"You think it through clearly. It's not that I, as her elder sister, am jealous. It's the emperor's fault... Oh, forget it." Concubine Qing actually understood that instead of letting other women be favored, it would be better to let Su Tong be favored. At least Su Tong and she were in the same courtyard, and the two sisters could take care of each other.
Concubine Qing had only come here to show off her temper, but now that she had calmed down, she sat there and looked after the child for a while before leaving, holding her belly.
Su Tong originally thought that the emperor was just in a momentary mood, but in the following period of time, the emperor would always come to his yard, and most of the time he would sit there watching the clouds rise and fall, and drinking fine tea. Su Tong did not say a word and acted like a wooden man, but the emperor came more frequently, even coming to his yard four or five times a month.
Su Tong really sensed something was wrong. My goodness, could she be the favorite concubine? But could she really make a name for herself in the harem with her looks?
But it really made Su Tong think too much. The emperor came here mainly to relax, and Su Tong was not as chattering as other women in the harem. More importantly, she slept better at night after coming here.
When a man gets older, it is inevitable that he may not be able to do things well sometimes. However, he cannot help but have concubines to sleep with him, otherwise there will be speculations from the former dynasty and the harem. So after much deliberation, Su Tong is the best choice. He doesn't talk, and the songs he sings are very nice, which can especially help people fall asleep.
Su Tong was indeed very angry, because his peaceful life was gone. The key point was that others thought that he had used some seductive means to keep the emperor. After all, with his appearance, he did not have the capital to be the most favored in the harem.
Fortunately, Su Tong is also an old man in the palace. In addition, he has been law-abiding over the years and has always stayed in his own palace honestly, so the fact that he is favored did not cause much waves. At most, he was just gossiped by others.
