Chapter 396
The black hair is no longer there, and there are many white hairs that cannot be hidden.
Moreover, ever since Yongqi was born, the Empress Dowager has been taking care of everything.
Looking at her now, she is indeed not as energetic as when Qingying first came into this world.
But after all, it is well maintained, so I think it will be no problem.
Suppressing her worries, Qingying smiled and said, "If the people here don't serve my aunt wholeheartedly, then Qingying will have to deal with them."
After joking, Qingying turned around and pointed outside the door.
"Aunt, the Double Ninth Festival is just around the corner. Qingying got a pot of rare purple chrysanthemums and put it outside. Aunt, please take a look when you have time. If you like it, I will ask someone to find another one."
The Queen Mother nodded.
"You have always been the most filial. Are you here today for the Chongyang Palace Banquet?"
"Yes, next year is my aunt's birthday, and the emperor wants to celebrate it in a grand manner. Double Ninth Festival is also a day to show filial piety, so he wants to start with a grand celebration from this year's Double Ninth Festival to show filial piety."
The Queen Mother gestured to Qingying to take a sip of tea.
He replied, "I am old and don't care about these things. As my birthday approaches, I feel even older."
"Invite the Emperor to Shoukang Palace in two days. There's no need to go overboard with the celebrations for next year's birthday. Other festivals can be celebrated according to the old traditions."
The Queen Mother declined, but Qingying was unwilling to let her celebrate her sixtieth birthday so hastily.
Just as he was about to speak, Jianqiu hurried in.
"Empress Dowager, Queen Mother, Sanbao from Jingren Palace has arrived and said something happened at Zhongcui Palace. Please go there immediately."
"Zhongcui Palace?"
Qingying was stunned, and the Queen Mother immediately spoke, "I remember that Concubine Chun was pregnant. Did something happen to her?"
"Empress Dowager, it's Concubine Chun. Sanbao said that news came from Zhongcui Palace that Concubine Chun suddenly had a miscarriage."
The aunt and niece looked at each other and both felt a little strange.
How could a concubine who had given birth to two children suddenly have a miscarriage without doing anything herself?
But this matter cannot be delayed.
Qingying stood up and said, "Aunt, I'll go take a look at your birthday banquet. I'll ask the emperor what he thinks later."
"Okay, the matter of the royal heir is important, go quickly."
The sedan chair hurried along the way, and when it entered Zhongcui Palace, things were already starting to get a little lively inside.
Noble Lady Ke stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking at the people coming in and out, looking very helpless.
After hearing Sanbao's chanting, Concubine Ke turned around and saw Qingying, and immediately felt relieved.
She hurried forward and said, "This concubine pays respects to the Empress. Your Majesty, Concubine Chun...she..."
Qingying saw that the other party didn't understand what he was saying and was too lazy to listen anymore.
"I'll go in and take a look."
When I entered the hall, I found that Concubine Chun was lying on the bed with a pale face.
The imperial physician was kneeling in front of him, taking the patient's pulse.
After withdrawing her hand for a moment, Qingying immediately said, "Doctor Zhang, how is Concubine Chun?"
Zhang Xun quickly turned on his knees upon hearing the voice, and greeted Qingying before sighing, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. Your Majesty's pulse is due to the large amount of musk you used. You will definitely not be able to keep the baby in your womb."
"Musk?"
Qingying narrowed her eyes and said, "I'll leave Concubine Chun to you. Sanbao, go to the Yangxin Palace and invite the emperor to come."
Sanbao hurriedly turned around and walked out.
Qingying stood there for a moment, then turned and left the hall.
"Xiu Xia, take someone down there and investigate thoroughly to find out where the musk that caused Concubine Chun to have a miscarriage came from."
Xiuxia took the order and went down, and Qingying led Concubine Ke to sit in the main hall.
Since it was a matter of the imperial heir, the two did not have to wait long before Hongli hurried in.
Before I could sit down, Xiuxia brought someone in again.
She looked up at Concubine Ke and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, along with my men, found this item in the Imperial Concubine's bedroom."
Everyone turned around and saw Xiuxia holding a brocade box in her hand.
When Qingying saw the box, her expression changed slightly.
He quickly glanced at Hongli and asked first, "What is it?"
"Your Highness, I have already asked the people around the Imperial Concubine, and they say that the box contains the goose pear tent incense that Noble Lady Ke gave to Your Highness."
