and total

Concubine Pan made a request for Li Cairen's seal.

This is rare in the past, because once the emperor is able to conceive an heir, the emperor will naturally have this idea. However, the harem of this dynasty is different from the past, and Concubine Pan is very clear. It seems that no one will remind Wei Liao of this matter except herself. .

His mind was never in the harem.

But with this request, Wei Liao finally thought of his own child, thought for a while, and not only agreed to Concubine Pan's request, but also sent Zi Qiong there.

Because she mentioned more things: "The matter of delivery should be planned early, and the nanny should also get ready. The birth of the emperor's heir is very important, Your Majesty..."

It was these trivial matters that forced Wei Liao to truly feel that he was welcoming a child.Although he never expected it, let alone full of expectation and hope, he finally learned to deal with it from countless lessons he refused to admit.

Ziqiong has made a lot of efforts secretly, but she always keeps Wei Liao's offspring in mind, but she can't remind Wei Liao to really think about it, and Concubine Pan has helped her.Wei Liao simply asked her to preside over it on his behalf. With Gong Zheng's assistance, Li Cairen's delivery bed just couldn't get in.

Wei Liao didn't know that the child would come so early, and he didn't know it would come so soon.Li Cairen was almost four months pregnant when he found out, and now there are only four or five months left until the time of delivery.He was full of confusion, wondering if all the emperors knew that they were going to be fathers from such trifles as good news, preparations for childbirth, and wet nurses.

This method was too contemptuous, he thought that the child would have a harder time, and he had to look forward to it.But it was not like that at all, he just felt at a loss, and he didn't feel happy looking at the gentle face of a pregnant woman.

His mother's empress was a noble daughter, and within two years after entering the palace, she met the former empress and passed away. A few years later, she became an empress herself. To be valued so highly by the late emperor, she should have been deeply loved by the late emperor, but Wei Liao didn't witness it, and he didn't even remember his mother very much, so he had no way of knowing what his father looked like when he was born.

He is really lonely, neither knows what a mother is, nor does he have a loving father in the true sense.

He also stopped writing anything, and asked someone to give it to Fu Xiru.He restrained himself quietly, like a calamus flower that closes at night.He spent one night watching it, and another night dreaming about it. He always suspected that he had a strange fragrance from inside to outside. Whenever he thought of Fu Xiru or saw him, the smell would be like a gust of wind. , was heard by all.

He will have nothing to hide.

Wei Liao has never tried asking for nothing before, but everything now pushes him away. He is a father, and Fu Xiru is about to get married. This is a reality that he could not imagine in the past, but it seems to be defined in the future. their everything.

He never saw Fu Xiru again, and he would always see him in the future.In fact, there will be no difference between the next few decades and the past. They are still monarchs and ministers, and they still have to fight for their lives, but other than that, there is nothing left. A big hole was made, the water flowed away, and there was nothing left, and the bottom of the pool became a guillotine.

It was logical for Ziqiong to take over Li Cairen, because she represented the emperor's wishes.She is a female official in front of the imperial court, and she has never lost Wei Liao's trust for a day, and she also bears the responsibility of being a palace official, so she has a lot of prestige in the harem.

However, she has never given birth to a child, and all the matters were arranged after asking the old man early and making a preliminary charter.There are not many concubines left, and there is no one who can rest assured that they can help. Whether it is the former court or the harem, it seems that a group of young people are crossing the river by feeling the stones.

She also didn't know whether the child could alleviate Wei Liao's inner loneliness in the current chaos, give him more hope and reasons, and cheer him up.She is too familiar with the personnel and affairs around Wei Liao, so she doesn't feel that this evil relationship is over now, but she can't push in the direction Wei Liao wants.

She had no idea what Wei Liao wanted.Usually he can always reveal a little bit of expectation, but now he acts as if nothing had happened every day, expressionless, without anger or resentment, as peaceful as the dead ashes of a burnt flame.

Ziqiong had no choice but to take care of Li Jieyu who was in stable labor.She is at a loss when she is free, and would rather use these trivial things to pass her emotions.

The princess occasionally came to visit Li Jieyu with Concubine Pan, but her identities were different. Zi Qiong also knew that Wei Liao was on guard against her and was always very careful.Wei Chenrui obviously also understood the insurmountable gap, at most he stood by the couch to appease Li Jieyu, and echoed Concubine Pan's greetings.

Ziqiong observed her quietly, admitting that she couldn't see anything.Wei Chenrui and Fu Xiru have absolutely no affair, it's easy to judge.Many years earlier, when the late emperor was still alive, because of the etiquette and the special nature of the East Palace, they had no chance to meet each other, let alone have an affair.

However, there are many couples in Chang'an City who are strangers. Fu Xiru's proposal to marry the princess may not be out of desperation and anger for a while, but who knows what the princess did in it?Ziqiong wanted to understand Wei Chenrui's plan and what he wanted, but it was still confusing.

She has always been quiet, and she is naturally so in front of the princess. What is more worrying is when will this peace end now.

The wedding is still several months away, the princess has to wait even longer than Li Jieyu's waiting for the birth, there is room for countless variables.

After half a month, Wei Liao almost recovered the appearance when Fu Xiru was far away in the sky.Bai Jigeng was kept by his side as usual, but now everything is calm, and Zhongshusheren is not as nervous as before.

Wei Liao didn't mention it, it was a bit strange for Bai Jigeng to figure it out after a period of time before he remembered that Fu Xiru hadn't come yet.

He went to Hongwen Pavilion, took the note to find some classics about the emperor's heir, and still guessed whether Li Jieyu was pregnant with a man or a woman.It's not that the previous generation had no male heirs and princesses were used in the reserve. Since the founding of the country, there have been two female protagonists. It's just that everyone wants Wei Liao to have more children.

More children, more blessings, more children, more protection.

Just like childbirth, no child has been born in the palace for a long time, and it always makes people feel uneasy. It may be a difficult time for Wei Liao now, but everyone around him already feels that the dawn has come.

When walking back, Bai Jigeng ran into Fu Xiru, looking in the same direction as him, he was going to Mount Penglai, when Fu Xiru saw him, he nodded in salute, Bai Jigeng was holding the classics in his hand, naturally he couldn't raise his hand, He nodded roughly, and had no choice but to take the same boat with him and go to the center of the lake.

Bai Jigeng still couldn't see Fu Xiru's mood. He vaguely felt that his curiosity was unreasonable and not good for him, just like Lu Zhong's advice to him, "Don't be stupid or deaf, don't be a family man, you think this reason is just doing something. Is it A Jiaweng's?" Same, he should have closed his eyes and listened, pretending that he doesn't know anything and can't see anything to last for a long time.

It's a pity that he is still very young after all, but his enthusiasm was almost lost in the day-to-day performances of Zichen Palace, only the curiosity that quietly protruded out like tentacles, when he met a person whom he believed to be harmless... People, just want to touch it and say a few more words.

"How is Master Fu these days? Looks like he's calmed down a bit." After all, Bai Jigeng knew his identity and the identity of the other party, and he greeted him dryly, breaking the silence.

Fu Xiru thought about the same as him, nodded and answered: "It's too hot, I don't have an appetite."

That scar is not new to the people in the palace, but it has completely changed his appearance. Bai Jigeng sometimes has a hard time imagining that this person is the Yushu Qiongzhi who was rumored to be the handsome and angry horse back then, and he feels a little embarrassed, because The sharp and sparse outline now is again because of those people and things that have been scattered in the wind and heard by him over the years.

Such emotion was too inappropriate, Bai Jigeng could only put them far away, and answered in a neutral manner: "The weather this summer is not very good, first it was heavy rain, then it was hot..."

He sighed.

In fact, he shouldn't be in charge of this matter, there is a special person from the Ministry of Accounts to watch, but it's just unbearable to worry about.

These words made Fu Xiru really look at him.

For a long time, Fu Xiru has firmly followed the first attitude towards Bai Jigeng, being gentle and alienated.This is not wrong, they have never met each other, except for Wei Liao's temporary joke and two words of love outside, there is no connection left.

If Wei Liao hadn't pulled him in willfully, he might not even be able to say a few words.

He also sighed: "It's worrying. This year's harvest in the counties of the capital, I'm afraid..."

After all, it's not yet the autumn harvest, so I haven't finished this sentence.

Bai Jigeng is a smart person, and after hearing this, he asked one more question: "Could it be the treasury..."

This cannot be said casually. The national treasury is the money of the world, and taxes and taxes are in it. It is a big deal to easily question the deficit of the national treasury. Fu Xiru just shook his head: "I don't know."

He had been in Shangshutai for a while, and Bai Jigeng didn't expect that he didn't even know the accounts of the household department, so he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise: "How come...Master Fu, you..."

Immediately thinking of Pei Mi's calculating face and Lu Zhong's comments, he took another look at the calm expression on Fu Xiru's face, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down: "The Ministry of Accounts always hides the accounts and refuses to see them?"

If this is the case, the situation is very bad.

Fu Xiru smiled, and said slowly: "How come? You worry too much, the accounts of the account department are naturally clean, which is reassuring."

Bai Jigeng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this sentence was not finished yet, and sure enough, Fu Xiru continued word by word: "Only the state treasury is unknown."

Once you want to hide it from people, it is very bad.

Bai Jigeng's expression was uncertain, he knew that these words were not just for himself.Regardless of whether the treasury has anything to do with Pei Mi, regardless of whether Fu Xiru and Pei Mi have already fought, no matter whether he wants to tell Lu Zhong what he said, he has to do it after all.

"Master Bai," Fu Xiru looked at him meaningfully, and said a word of advice: "You arrived at Xuanzheng Hall too early."

He is right.

=========

The author has something to say

The rhythm of things has begun, the baby is about to be born, the princess is about to get married, rounding up: it is almost over. (Look at this person is sick again!!!)

Xiaobai in the middle of the lake panicked and confused: whose mistress am I now?Even if he wants to unspoken rules, I have the fear that I can't resist and I have to obey. (Actually, you may not necessarily resist, really)

Seriously, the last sentence is workplace bullying, right?
