Chapter 116

The next day, it was almost the hour when Emperor Yong woke up with Chu Yanzi. Fortunately, there was no need for morning court today. Emperor Yong looked at the slightly blue and black eyes in Chu Yanzi, and finally understood why she had been sleeping for so long every day. Thinking of what happened last night, Emperor Yong had some care in his eyes.

Late at night, when Emperor Yong was sleeping in a daze, there was a little movement around him. Emperor Yong frowned and opened his eyes, but saw Chu Yanzi biting his lips, holding back the tears in his eyes, rubbing his legs with one hand. Emperor Yong suddenly lost his sleepiness and asked anxiously,

"Ayan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Emperor Yong wake up, Chu Yanzi no longer suppressed his voice. As soon as he relaxed, tears in his eyes fell down, his tone soft and delicate, "It hurts, my master, I hurt."

Emperor Yong's eyes flashed with heartache. He had never encountered such a situation before. He was a little busy for a while and didn't know what to do. He could only massage Chu Yanzi's legs with one hand, while shouting anxiously at the palace servant.

"Zhang Jin!"

When Zhang Jin heard the sound in the room, he was ready to come in. When he heard the voice of Emperor Yong, he did not waste any time. He came in directly. Seeing the scene in the room, he quickly lowered his head and asked,

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

"Go and pass on the imperial physician!"

Chu Yanzi lay in Emperor Yong's arms and cried in a coquettish manner. In fact, she was prone to cramps when she was pregnant. She had heard of it before, but this was the first time she encountered it. It was painful and uncomfortable at this time. She could hold back and not shout out just now, which was already useless to have all her strength.

When the imperial physician arrived, Chu Yanzi's cramps had slowed down at that time, but Emperor Yong was still worried. After asking the imperial physician to take Chu Yanzi's pulse, he asked in a deep voice.

"What's going on with Concubine Zhen? Why does it hurt?"

"If you go back to the emperor, this is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy. However, some people have a shallow reaction, and some people have a stronger reaction. You can only keep massaged until it slows down."

Listening to the imperial physician's words, Emperor Yong frowned. Although he knew that this was normal, he looked at Chu Yanzi crying in pain in the middle of the night. How could he bear to let him go? Ask the imperial physician Xiang,

"There is no way to relieve it?"

"This, let the doctor massage the empress several times a day, which may relieve some of the pain."

After hearing the imperial physician's words, Bai Hua couldn't help but ask, "Can I learn?" If the empress in her family often felt pain, how could she insist on waiting for the doctor's daughter to come?

The imperial physician nodded and said, "Yes, this technique is simple and can be easily learned."

Listening to the imperial physician's words, Emperor Yong waved his hand a little irritatedly, signaling them to withdraw, and looked down at Chu Yanzi, but saw that she leaned against her in a daze and fell asleep. Emperor Yong felt slightly relieved and leaned down to sleep with Chu Yanzi.

But as soon as Emperor Yong fell asleep, he heard some sounds around him again. He quickly opened his eyes and saw Chu Yanzi hurt again. That night, Chu Yanzi actually thrust several times. Emperor Yong almost never fell asleep and massaged her the cramps.

At the time of Si, Chu Yanzi slowly opened his eyes, looked at Emperor Yong sitting up, looking at himself with a careless look on his face. After a while, he frowned and sat up when he remembered what happened last night.

"Do you think it's better?"

Listening to Emperor Yong’s question, Chu Yanzi curled the corners of his mouth, smiled reluctantly, and said, “I’m fine now. The emperor didn’t sleep well last night, so should I sleep for a while?”

Emperor Yong saw that her face was not ugly, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He heard her question again, shook his head, lifted his cup and got out of bed, and then responded to her, "No need."

Seeing Zhang Jin walk in and serve Emperor Yong to change his clothes, Chu Yanzi suddenly said, "Wait!"

The people in the hall looked at her in confusion, but Chu Yanzi did not explain, but instead said to Bai Hua beside him, "Go and take the belt that I embroidered before."

When Emperor Yong heard Chu Yanzi's words, he knew that she had made another belt for him. Warmth flashed in his eyes, but the next moment, Emperor Yong frowned and scolded him,

"Didn't you say that you can't touch needles and threads during pregnancy?"

Chu Yanzi personally took the belt from Bai Hua's hand, walked out of bed, patted Emperor Yong's hand, signaled him to raise his hands, then tied the belt for Emperor Yong himself, carefully took care of it, and then answered Emperor Yong's words just now, "It's just a belt, it doesn't take much attention."

It has been done, and Emperor Yong can say something about her, so he can only instruct, "No next time."

But Chu Yanzi didn't like to listen to these things. He glanced at him with a squint, snorted, and then said, "I worked hard to sew a belt for you. It would be fine if you didn't say thank you, but I would also have a few more words of evil. If you don't like it, please take it down and send it to someone else!"

Emperor Yong was so amused that he was just caring about her, so why didn’t he betray her? Moreover, sending her to someone else? Emperor Yong frowned, looked at Chu Yanzi, and said with some dissatisfaction,

"Send it to someone else? Who do Ayan want to give it to?" She made a man's belt with her own hands. Who else did she want to give it to besides him?

Chu Yanzi was not afraid of his displeasure. He just glanced at Zhang Jin and said casually, "Give it to Zhang Jin."

Emperor Yong looked coldly and looked at Zhang Jin. Zhang Jin was so scared that he lowered his head and lowered his head. He said in his heart, "Empress, you are angry, don't bring your servants with you. The emperor is reluctant to punish you, but he is willing to punish you!"

Seeing that he was actually staring at Zhang Jin, Chu Yanzi couldn't help but chuckled, walked forward, gently hit Emperor Yong's shoulder, and said in a sweet voice, "Okay, it's almost noon, let's prepare quickly and go to the Taihe Palace."

Listening to Chu Yanzi stop continuing the topic just now, Emperor Yong followed her and saw her put on the clothes from the ceremony of the Concubine Awards that day, and then sat in front of the dressing table. Emperor Yong didn't feel itchy, so he stepped forward and said,

"I'm going to draw a thrush for Ayan today?"

Chu Yanzi ignored him at all. After Bai Hua combed her hair bun, she said lightly, "It's not appropriate to put on makeup when you are pregnant."

Listening to her meaning, she was preparing to go to the Taihe Palace without makeup. Emperor Yong couldn't help but be a little surprised. You should know that the women in the harem, not to mention going out, were meticulous and delicately made of them in the palace. However, Emperor Yong glanced at Chu Yanzi and smiled in his eyes. Even if his Ayan didn't have any makeup, he could still be more beautiful than the people.

In fact, Emperor Yong’s birthday banquet was quite boring. After all, the palace was just a banquet for a few months. After entering the palace for a long time, she felt tired of it. She went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with Emperor Yong. Looking at the singing and dancing in the hall, it was better to chat with Concubine Yun.

The person who arranged the seats this time arranged Chu Yanzi's position on the top of Concubine Yun, which was the closest to Emperor Yong. Chu Yanzi smiled at Emperor Yong, turned his head and talked to Concubine Yun, and heard Concubine Yun speak with interest.

"Does Zhenfei know the gifts from the concubines today?"

Chu Yanzi looked at Concubine Yun with some strangeness. It was not a harem gift that was hidden strictly. If she knew, it would be a little strange. So Chu Yanzi shook her head. Knowing that Concubine Yun would not mention this matter for no reason, she couldn't help but be interested. She glanced at the show and lowered her voice and asked,

"I don't know, what does my sister know? Tell me and I'll listen to it."

Concubine Yun covered her mouth and smiled, not in a hurry to explain, but waited for the end of the show, and then signaled Chu Yanzi to look to the center of the hall, "Hey—"

Chu Yanzi looked over and saw a group of palace ladies dancing around a woman in red, dancing in an orderly manner. After just one look, Chu Yanzi withdrew his gaze and asked Concubine Yun beside him in confusion.

"I haven't left the palace for a long time, but I don't know who the person in the hall is?"

Concubine Yun glanced at the woman in the middle of the hall, then retracted her gaze and looked at Chu Yanzi, reached out to block her from peeling lychees, and then said softly,

"Use less lychees, which can easily cause inflammation and are not good for children in the belly." Seeing Chu Yanzi smile, and then put down the lychees in his hand, Yun Fei's eyes were filled with a smile and continued,

"It's not surprising that you don't know each other. This is Bai Changzai, named Bai Wan'er, a concubine of the Bai family in the capital. The Bai family and the Shen family are in a marriage relationship, so Bai Chang also got closer to Shen Ronghua after entering the palace."

When Concubine Yun talked about this, Chu Yanzi was a little clear-headed, but she was still a little puzzled. "If I remember correctly, then Shen Ronghua is favored on weekdays. How could Bai Chang use this method to present a gift?"

Generally speaking, only the maiden or actors will dance in public. Although this can be favored for a while, it is equivalent to losing Bai Chang's future path to rise.

After hearing Chu Yanzi's question, Concubine Yun smiled but said nothing, but looking at the faint deep smile on the corner of her mouth, Chu Yanzi suddenly understood a little and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

Although Bai Changzai has a good relationship with Shen Ronghua, if the two of them say they are like sisters, it would be a joke. It must be just a chess piece in Shen Ronghua's hand. Since it is a chess piece, while helping herself, she cannot give her a chance to turn things around. In this way, it can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone.

Chu Yanzi couldn't help but remember that when she saw Shen Ronghua that day, Shen Ronghua was really willing to let her go. The emperor said that he would separate the favor and then leave it. It was a neat way. Chu Yanzi couldn't help but remember the man Shen Ronghua in his heart.

Chu Yanzi was not interested in Bai Changzai's dance. Just as he was about to turn to see Emperor Yong, Yu Guang glanced at Bao Zhaoyi's quiet appearance. Suddenly, his body paused, his eyes became deeper, and he asked Xiang Yunfei,

"Has Bao Zhaoyi been much quieter recently?"

When she heard Chu Yanzi suddenly mention Bao Zhaoyi, Concubine Yun was not surprised, because Bao Zhaoyi had indeed changed a lot recently. Chu Yanzi realized at this time that she did not expect that Concubine Yun covered her lips with a veil and lowered her voice slightly.

"It's indeed quiet, but when it comes to favor, it's a lot tougher." Speaking of this, Concubine Yun couldn't help but look at Chu Yanzi more, and then said softly,

"Except when you were in your palace, she basically stopped the emperor from other concubines. The emperor didn't know what it was. He seemed to think this game was very interesting, and he always followed Bao Zhaoyi's will."

Chu Yanzi also knew about Bao Zhaoyi's attempt to intercept people and compete for favor. After all, she had also been to Jinhe Palace to invite people. However, Chu Yanzi did not expect that Emperor Yong would indulge her. If it were once or twice, Chu Yanzi would not find it strange, but just thought it was Emperor Yong's favor to Bao Zhaoyi.

But so many times, Emperor Yong has followed her, and this is not just favor. Chu Yanzi's eyes turned dark. Moreover, the emperor should not be the more reckless young man back then. Would he not know that this would make the entire harem hold a grudge against Bao Zhaoyi? Chu Yanzi frowned, and for a moment he couldn't tell what Emperor Yong was thinking about Bao Zhaoyi?

Chu Yanzi looked up slightly at Emperor Yong, but saw Emperor Yong looking at him, with gentle eyes and eyes. Seeing that he turned around, he asked in a low voice, "Is it uncomfortable?" He was worried that she would feel uncomfortable and vomit.

Chu Yanzi shook her head, bit her lower lip, looked at Emperor Yong with some inexplicable emotions, and then said softly, "I'm fine." Seeing that Emperor Yong's eyes were slightly confused, and then there was a deep meaning, Chu Yanzi lowered his head, covered the emotions in his eyes, and asked in his heart.

"System, help me check the favorability of Emperor Yong."

"——Ding! Target character favorability: 92."

Chu Yanzi paused, I had a sentence of MMP, I don’t know whether to say it or not, your affectionate look has only increased by 2 points during this period! Chu Yanzi pinched his palms and took a breath, and then he felt a little better and didn’t want to see the man next to him at all.

Emperor Yong saw Chu Yanzi's body trembling, and then stopped looking at this side. He seemed to have a bright red face. He thought she was thinking about something, and she was a little shy, and a soft feeling flashed in her eyes.

I had no idea that Chu Yanzi's trembling body caused a pain when he pinched himself, and his cheeks were slightly red because he was only stingy and gave him two favorable feelings.

After relieving the depression in his heart, Chu Yanzi raised his head and looked at the dance in the center of the hall. At this time, Bai Changzai had already jumped to the end, and he swung a spin to finish his tail, walked forward delicately, Yingying saluted, and then said softly,

"I am offering this dance to the emperor, wishing the emperor all the best and the peace of the country and the peace of the people!"

Chu Yanzi was in a bad mood and did not show a smile when she saw this scene. However, her expression was not inconsistent among the crowd. After all, the concubines present could maintain a smile in addition to Shen Ronghua, and even Concubine Yun smiled a little.

It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, but you must show your attitude towards the emperor's attention. Chu Yanzi picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, then he regained his smile, turned his eyes to Emperor Yong, waiting for his answer.

Emperor Yong looked at Bai Changzai underneath, wrapped in red clothes, delicate makeup, pink face, and graceful figure. However, Emperor Yong frowned for some reason and looked at Chu Yanzi beside him. In the past, Chu Yanzi liked to wear pink, so everyone in the harem avoided it, and no one was wearing the same clothes as her. Today, she suddenly had an idea of ​​wearing a red dress, but unexpectedly, Bai Changzai bumped into it.

Emperor Yong's thoughts were just a circle, with a smile on his face, looking at Bai Changzai, and said calmly, "I have the heart to do it, I will reward you!"

"Thank you for the reward of the emperor!" Bai Chang held a little joy and shyness in the corner of his eyes, bent his waist, exuding a sense of astringency, and then returned to his position.

After the birthday banquet, Chu Yanzi returned to Jujiu Palace and heard Bai Lu coming over. He didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow on his face. Finally, he curled his lips and said, "Empress, the emperor just passed the order to go to Bai Chang to rest in the palace."

Chu Yanzi nodded, without much surprise, it was normal to win favor in a short period of time with Bai Changzai's performance. Before he could pick up the book in his hand, he saw Bai Lu stammering, as if he wanted to say something. Chu Yanzi raised his eyebrows and asked her,

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Oh, that's right, when the emperor went to Bai Chang there, he was intercepted by Bao Zhaoyi halfway!"

Although I heard Concubine Yun talk about this situation just now in the Supreme Hall, when I heard it again, Chu Yanzi couldn't help but pause, fiddle with the book at hand, frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, but said to Bai Lu,

"Okay, I know, you go down first."

Bai Lu heard her order and was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that her empress seemed to have no food to eat today, so she turned around and asked, "Empress, do you want to prepare some food?"

Chu Yanzi thought that Emperor Yong had only increased his favorability by 2 points during this period, so he was not in a mood. He just lowered his head slightly and said casually, "You can do it yourself."

Bai Lu glanced at Chu Yanzi and then owed her body, but she was slightly confused in her eyes, as if the Empress was not very happy?

Chu Yanzi has been getting more and more pregnant recently. Whenever she eats, she doesn't eat enough to vomit. On this day, Chu Yanzi's face turned pale and leaned against the bed. However, in just one month, she became more and more thin, her chin became more and more pointed, and she no longer had the rosy as she was a month ago.

When Emperor Yong arrived at Jujiu Palace, he saw her appearance, but he had no choice. He had asked the imperial physician countless times this month, but Chu Yanzi's condition became more and more serious. He only had a bulge on his stomach, and he lost weight in other places.

The child in Chu Yanzi's belly has been five months old. Due to her health, she still did not attend this year's New Year banquet. Emperor Yong surrounded her with heartache, except for stroking her back with one hand to make her feel more comfortable, and didn't know what she could do.

Bai Hua hurriedly changed the spittoon, but his body shook, but he hooked up several jars on the shelf. Recalling what Roumei said when she brought the jar over that day, Bai Hua's eyes lit up slightly. At this time, she didn't care whether she was uneasy or not, and only hoped that the sour orange would really relieve the Empress's situation.

Bai Hua handed the spittoon to the maid beside her and asked her to take it out. She carried the jar to Chu Yanzi and walked to Chu Yanzi. Seeing Chu Yanzi's retching look, he hurriedly said,

"Empress, do you try this sour orange if it is useful?"

Hearing Bai Hua's voice, Emperor Yong looked over in surprise, but when he saw the jar in her hand, he frowned. He didn't know what it was, but now it was the top priority to alleviate Chu Yanzi's situation. He couldn't help but speak.

"What is this? Is it useful? Ayan, should I try it?"

The author has something to say: It's five thousand words, five thousand words, and there's a breakthrough, right?
