"Sister Concubine Shu has never given birth, so I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of children." The queen was not to be outdone.

Concubine Shu was still grinning: "Sister Empress, why don't you just give my younger sister a chance and let her enjoy being a mother too."

"Being a mother is not a child's play. Taking care of children is very trivial. My sister may not be able to handle it." The queen said, as if she was determined to take Su Huan over.

"How do you know if you don't try it? Do you think so, Your Majesty." Concubine Shu smiled like a flower.

"Just follow what Concubine Shu said." Xia Wenxuan agreed.

Seeing that Xia Wenxuan favored Concubine Shu so much, the queen gritted her silver teeth.

"The queen mother is tired of talking for so long, let's stop here today." Xia Wenxuan put Su Huan on the ground and stood up. He also got up from the chair and said to Concubine Shu, "I will accompany you to take Su Huan back to the palace." .”

"The Ai family is exhausted, let's leave." Xia Wenxuan's decision was always unquestionable, and the Queen Mother did not want to make trouble with him because of this matter.She glanced at the queen, and asked the nanny who followed her to help her into the bedroom behind.

After seeing off the Queen Mother, Xia Wenxuan also took Su Huan and Concubine Shu away.

"Sister Noble Concubine, don't you think the Emperor treats Su Huan too much?" The Empress was probably mad, and complained to the Noble Concubine.

The imperial concubine Guo Shi didn't look surprised, she just said: "The emperor really cares about the eldest son of the emperor, please come back to Taifu Wu from a long distance, the eldest son of the emperor will have a bright future with his assistance in the future."

These words reached the Queen's heart, she rubbed her forehead, and said: "The princess is probably going to be hungry, so please hurry back, little sister of the imperial concubine."

"Yes, the empress first." The empress and concubine led the crowd out in a file, and the lively room returned to silence.

"Look, I've helped you a lot!" Su Huan slept peacefully on the bed, and Concubine Shu came to Xia Wenxuan to playfully ask for credit.

"Hush!" Xia Wenxuan glared at her, pulled her outside, and closed the bedroom door.

"You look like an old mother now. Is this child really not yours? I have never seen you care so much about things other than official business." Concubine Shu waved away all the maids and eunuchs serving in the main hall, and went to the Lord. Sitting down, he poured himself a cup of tea.

"I don't remember when you liked children." Xia Wenxuan seemed accustomed to her rudeness, poured a cup of tea by himself, and found a place to sit down.

"Hey, didn't I see that your brows were all wrinkled, so I had no choice but to take care of Su Huan for you! You see, I have helped you so much. How can you reward your gentle, generous and understanding Shu?" Where's the imperial concubine?" Concubine Shu was so forthright that she pushed all her hair from her shoulders back, drinking tea as if she was drinking white wine, and took a sip.

Xia Wenxuan was ashamed, the words gentle, generous and understanding would not have anything to do with his concubine Shu for about eight lifetimes.

Concubine Shu Yuanshi, whose boudoir name is Xinyan, is the daughter of Yuanlong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

The Yuan family favored martial arts, and there have been many generals in the past dynasties. Everyone in the family practiced martial arts, even the women were no exception.In Yuanlong's generation, even his only daughter went to the battlefield and became the first female general since the founding of Xia Kingdom.

Xia Wenxuan joined the army at the age of 13. During the six years of the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, he made great military exploits for Xia Guo. There are many reasons why he has a good military adviser.It's a pity that the military adviser died in a sneak attack by the enemy. Concubine Shu and the military adviser were childhood sweethearts and had a very close relationship.Since then, my heart has been ashamed.

In the year Xia Wenxuan ascended the throne, Yuan Xinyan complained that she refused to marry and wanted to become a monk.The elders of the Yuan family were naturally unwilling, and her grandmother forced her to die, so she rejected her idea.Later she came to Xia Wenxuan and asked him for help.Xia Wenxuan accepted her and canonized her as Concubine Shu. The huge palace became Yuan Xinyan's safe haven and her own execution ground.

Xia Wenxuan made an agreement with her that he could let her go at any time.

"You can say what you want." Xia Wenxuan thought he couldn't guess what this eccentric heroine was thinking, so he let her say it herself to save trouble.

"Cut, it's really boring." Concubine Shu curled her lips, with an expression of "you are so boring", Xia Wenxuan was unmoved, so she could only say angrily, "I want to see the bloody BMW that Dawan Kingdom paid tribute to!"

"Okay, I'll take you to see it when the horse arrives." Xia Wenxuan put down his teacup and got up, "That's it?"

"I still want to ride and watch!" Yuan Xinyan raised her voice, obviously Xia Wenxuan's agreement made her very excited.

"The purebred horses are very powerful, and I don't object if you dare to ride them. It's getting late, so I'm leaving first." Xia Wenxuan walked towards the door without looking back.

"It's great! Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Yuan Xinyan made a half trumpet shape with one hand and shouted to Xia Wenxuan.

Xia Wenxuan raised a hand and shook it, probably saying that you are welcome, then opened the door and left.

Xia Wenxuan returned to Qingliang Hall, Qi Ruibai was already waiting in the side hall.

He picked up a cup of hot tea and blew on it. Just as he was about to drink it, Li Yuan sang, and Xia Wenxuan returned to the palace.

"My minister sees the emperor!" Qi Ruibai saluted swiftly, and then got up quickly after Xia Wenxuan snorted inexplicably and began to report, "Your Majesty, the envoy will arrive in Beijing early tomorrow morning, and Cheng Zhonghuai will bring someone to greet him personally. After a night's rest, I will formally meet you at the Golden Luan Hall the morning after tomorrow."

Xia Wenxuan nodded, very satisfied with Qi Ruibai's efficiency.

As the prime minister, Qi Ruibai assisted Xia Wenxuan in managing the affairs of the six departments, and immediately reported a bunch of things about the other six departments.

Xia Wenxuan listened to them one by one, nodded in agreement, and shook his head in rejection, the two monarchs and ministers had a very good understanding.

When the business was finished, Qi Ruibai couldn't hold back his nonsensical temper, and began to inquire about Su Huan's affairs: "Your Majesty, I heard that you brought a child back from outside the palace?"

Xia Wenxuan didn't even bother to answer, and gave him a look of "what does it have to do with you".

Qi Ruibai's soul of gossip is endless: "I wonder if it is the crystallization of the emperor and which lucky person?"

Xia Wenxuan knew that Qi Ruibai was going to ask this question, and without raising his head while reviewing the memorial, he said coldly: "Master Qi, if you feel too free, there is still a lack of cleaning staff in the palace, why don't you make up for this vacancy?"

Qi Ruibai repeatedly begged for forgiveness: "No, no, it's very good of me, thank you for your kindness."

"Why don't you go back to work quickly? Waiting for me to keep you for dinner?" Xia Wenxuan said coldly.

Qi Ruibai laughed and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor will be lonely, so I'm talking with the emperor."

"Get out." Xia Wenxuan raised his head from the memorial, left him the word, and then buried his head in looking at the official business.

Qi Ruibai had no choice but to leave in despair.

There are many things to do today, and Xia Wenxuan's time is even more precious because of Su Huan's matter.Later, he summoned Yuan Long from the Ministry of War to discuss matters, and it was already midnight after all the work was done.

Li Yuan brought the supper lightly: "Your Majesty, go to bed after drinking the red bean porridge."

Only then did Xia Wenxuan stretch his body. Fortunately, today is Xiumu, so he doesn't have to go to court.He pushed open the door of the palace and saw Dongfang's pale belly, wondering if Su Huan slept well?

Su Huan fell into a drowsy sleep for a long time, and when he woke up again, it was already dusk the next day.

He was sweating a lot, the quilt was damp, his whole body seemed to be drained, and his lips were pale.

With no one around, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed.His throat was so dry that he wanted to drink some water, but before taking two steps, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.

"Young master, why are you up!" A young palace maid about fifteen or sixteen years old pushed open the door and saw Su Huan, and hurried in, "I help you back to bed and rest."

Su Huan was supported by her and sat back on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed weakly.

This is not the small wing room he is familiar with, it is bigger, the bed is bigger, and the room is bigger.He remembered that in his sleep he was brought to his uncle, who was still holding him.

But why did Uncle disappear after waking up?

"Uncle...Uncle..." Su Huan opened his mouth with difficulty, and after only two words, he felt that his throat was about to smoke, and he couldn't say anything more.

"What did you say?" The little maid didn't understand, so she moved her ear closer.

"Yun Duo, are you awake, young master?" At this moment, Concubine Shu opened the door and walked in, asking as she walked.

The maid named Yun Duo was startled when she heard the words. She was sitting on the edge of Su Huan's bed for the convenience of speaking, but immediately jumped up when she heard the sound, and hurriedly walked out a few steps to salute Concubine Shu.

"You're awake!" Concubine Shu happily sat beside Su Huan's bed, "Are you hungry? Thirsty?"

Su Huan looked at her timidly with pale lips and opened eyes.

"Drink some water first." Concubine Shu didn't seem to see his expression, so Yun Duo brought a glass of water and stuffed it into Su Huan's hand, "Can you drink it? Do you want me to feed you?"

When Su Huan heard this, he obediently drank the water in the glass, his throat was moistened, and he finally felt more comfortable.

"Concubine Shu, Empress Guifei and the Eldest Princess are here."

"Let them come in quickly." Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui have a good relationship, and when they heard that they came to visit, she immediately smiled.

"Xinyan, I brought Xilan to see Su Huan, how is he?" The imperial concubine led a girl who was slightly older than Su Huan and walked in. She was wearing a dark blue Confucian dress with gold silk, Dignified and generous.

Concubine Shu: "Sister Guo, come in quickly, he just woke up."

The imperial concubine Guo Shi led her daughter Xilan in, the mother and daughter were both generous and calm.

Seeing someone coming again, Su Huan couldn't help shrinking back into the bed.Who are these?Is it Uncle's family?But what about Uncle, where is Uncle?

"Why are you crying?" Xi Lan walked to the bed first, and Su Huan's tears just rolled down, and she saw her.

Only then did Concubine Shu know that Su Huan was crying, and she came over to comfort him, but she didn't know what to do, so she had to hug him up.Su Huan sneezed immediately after leaving the bedding, which startled Concubine Shu.

"Put him back on the bed, he will catch a cold." The imperial concubine came over and touched Su Huan's forehead, "I have a low fever, it must be due to the cold, he is sweating all over, don't you wipe him off? "

Concubine Shu stuck out her tongue: "I don't know, I have never taken care of children."

"Don't take this job if you don't know how to take care of it." The imperial concubine said angrily, and then turned to tell the maid she had brought, "Xia'er, call the imperial physician to take a look."

"Did brother have a fever?" Xi Lan's small face like a jade carving was not covered with makeup, and some of her jet-black hair was tied up with a bright hairpin, and most of it was draped over her shoulders, looking innocent and cute.

"My younger brother just arrived here, he was not used to it, so he got sick." The imperial concubine said to her daughter.

Xilan has a younger brother named Jinli, the queen's son.Although he is younger than her, but he is the queen's son, he is higher than Xilan in terms of family background, and he is a boy, so he is hardly seen on weekdays.

So Concubine Shu is very happy to have a little brother here. There are too few children in the palace, so she is always lonely.

"Mother and concubine, when my younger brother recovers from his illness, can Xilan take him to play in the Imperial Garden?" Xilan asked.

"Of course." The imperial concubine hugged her daughter lovingly, "But my brother seems to be a little uncomfortable with the new environment, can you come and accompany him more?"

"Okay." Xilan smiled sweetly.

It was the first time that Su Huan saw such a beautiful young lady, and for a while he liked Xilan very much, and when he saw Xilan smiling, he wasn't too scared anymore.

"Brother, I'm sister Xilan, what's your name?" Xilan sat on Su Huan's bedside, determined to be a good sister.

"Su Huan." Su Huan was still a little weak, leaning against the head of the bed, trying to smile with the corners of his mouth pulled up.

"Huan Zhe, Dong Liang also. Good name." Su Huan always went to eavesdrop on Mr. Wu's class. Although he eavesdropped, he understood a little more after listening to him. Knowing that Xi Lan was praising him, he smiled happily. up.

"It's better for children to come with each other." Concubine Gui said to Concubine Shu at the side.

"Isn't it? We still feel lonely in the palace, let alone the children." Concubine Shu seemed to be responding to what she said, opened and closed the lid of the teapot, shook it, and opened it again.

The noble concubine ignored her tossing the teapot, and lightly plucked the tassels of the palace fan she was holding: "You don't have to be trapped in this palace."

Concubine Shu smiled: "Isn't my sister also trapped in by herself?"

"I'm different from you. This is the only way to give birth to Xilan and let her grow up safely." The imperial concubine adjusted the tassels in her hand, looked sideways at Xilan and Su Huan, and smiled gratifiedly. Lan is fine, I am satisfied."
