Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 339

   Chapter 339 Named

  The time is getting colder every day, and the new year is here again.

   Last year, there was a palace change in the twelfth lunar month. The emperor fell ill and the queen mother died. The New Year was extremely depressing and dull.

   This year, Qi Shuo has shared most of the government affairs. Emperor Tai'an has plenty of time to cultivate well, and his vitality has recovered a lot. Not to mention the fullness of the treasury and the steadfastness and ability of the prince, he is in a better and better mood.

   Emperor Tai'an was not good at showing others, so he didn't have to endure it in front of King Jing, and every now and then he would praise Shuo'er for being prudent and capable.

   King Jing smiled and cursed in his heart: Is the fourth child still a person?

  Before the family banquet on New Year's Eve, Concubine Zhuang saw that Emperor Tai'an was in a good mood and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you want the little prince to see his brother-in-law?"

   Up to now, the little prince has no name, and has never stepped out of the Yungui Palace.

   When the little prince was born, he lived in Concubine Zhuang's palace for a month. Concubine Zhuang was empty under her knees, and she inevitably developed a feeling for him. Later, I went to visit Yungui Palace from time to time. Seeing that the little prince went from only feeding on milk to walking staggeringly, and now he can clearly call her Empress, the one or two points of affection have become seven or eight points.

  This is the case with people. If you don't have feelings, you can naturally turn a blind eye. When you have feelings, you can't help but plan for it.

   In the eyes of Concubine Zhuang today, the little prince is good in everything except his body, but it is too pitiful to be trapped in Yungui Palace so alone.

   Emperor Tai'an's face sank when he heard this: "The little prince is weak, what should I do if I catch a cold when I go out? Let's stay in Yungui Palace."

   Concubine Zhuang moved her lips, but she didn't insist any longer. She stepped back and said, "The little prince will be three years old after this year. It's not appropriate for the little prince to call him that. The emperor can give him a name."

   Emperor Tai'an subconsciously wanted to refuse. Looking at Concubine Zhuang's earnest eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips: "I think about it."

   "Then the concubine thanked the emperor on behalf of the little prince." Concubine Zhuang said with a smile.

   Two requests, the emperor can agree to one, and it is not in vain that the child is one year older.

   Emperor Tai'an gave Concubine Zhuang a fixed look, with an inexplicable tone: "Concubine Ai really cares about him."

   He hadn't seen the child again for more than a year. The existence of the child was a fear and shame for him that he couldn't be humane.

  If the world knows that the royal family has given birth to a prince with a long tail, I am afraid that the rumor that the country will die will be born with evil spirits.

   Emperor Tai'an once again insisted on one thing: the less people have seen the child, the better.

At the family banquet, Qi Shuo also mentioned the little prince: "I don't know how my brother is doing."

   Concubine Zhuang was worried that Emperor Tai'an would slap his face directly, and hurriedly said: "The little prince is born weak and can't blow the wind. It's not good to go out in this weather."

   Qi Shuo smiled and said, "Hao and I have never seen my brother since we've been in the palace for so long. Since my brother can't go out, I'll go back and see him."

   Emperor Tai'an's complexion changed slightly, and he said lightly: "The imperial doctor said that he can't stand the cold and heat brought by strangers. It's enough for you to have this heart."

  Lin Haoxai gently pulled La Qishuo with his hand under the table.

  Qi Shuo didn't seem to notice Emperor Tai'an's indifference, and smiled in response.

   After returning to the East Palace to wash and lie down, Lin Hao looked sideways at Qi Shuo: "Ashuo, I don't think it's as simple as being weak for the little prince."

  Qi Shuo nodded: "I guess so too."

   "Then why do you keep mentioning it?"

   Looking at the emperor's face, he was obviously unhappy.

   "Besides King Liang, the father is the only son of the little prince, and the little prince lives in the palace. With our current status, we can't avoid it. We have a certain idea in our hearts after testing, so as not to be unprepared in the future."

   "Then what do you think is the matter with the little prince?" Lin Hao asked with his cheeks raised.

  Qi Shuo frowned slightly, his tone uncertain: "Maybe it's not an ordinary disease, but a hidden disease that is inconvenient for outsiders to know."

   "It's very likely that this is the case." Lin Hao lay down and stopped discussing, but he had deep doubts in his heart.

  What is the hidden illness of the little prince that makes the emperor so secretive?

   And does this affect her and Ah Shuo?

  In the palace wall is different from the other side, a tiny ripple may turn into a huge wave in the future, so you have to be careful.

   Qi Shuo leaned over, his voice low and firm: "Don't worry, there is me."

"Um."

  The candlelight flickered and gradually became quiet.

   Emperor Tai'an rested in the Yuhe Palace. Seeing his pale face, Concubine Zhuang warmly persuaded: "The prince also values ​​siblings—"

   "I know." Emperor Tai'an was obviously reluctant to talk about it, "Just rest."

   Concubine Zhuang bit her head and said, "Little prince—"

   She knew that the emperor was in a bad mood at this time, but if this opportunity was missed, the little prince would not know when he would have a name.

   "Let's call him Qi An." Emperor Tai'an said casually, and simply got up and went back to the bedroom.

   Concubine Zhuang, who escorted Emperor Tai'an to the gate of the palace, stood quietly for a moment. Knowing that the emperor was offended, Bu Buwen sighed and went to Yungui Palace.

  On New Year's Eve, there are lanterns everywhere, and the lanterns carried by the palace staff are almost useless, but when you enter the Yungui Palace, there are many lanterns that are brightly lit, but it makes people feel gloomy for no reason.

   Looking at the palace staff who saluted her, Concubine Zhuang suddenly realized: It is because there are too few palace staff here.

   And this is something she cannot change.

   "Niangniang——" The little prince, who was held by the wet nurse, saw Concubine Zhuang coming, smiled and opened his hands to beg for a hug.

   At the beginning, Concubine Zhuang was somewhat resistant to contacting the little prince, and a year later she naturally picked him up.

When    arrived in Concubine Zhuang's arms, the little prince giggled, and shouted "Niangniangniangniang".

   Concubine Zhuang softened her heart when she was shouted, and touched his face lightly: "You have a name, and it was given by your royal father. It's called An An, does it sound good?"

   This "An", maybe the emperor asked him to stay in the Yungui Palace like a cage, but in her opinion, this is the "An" of "Peace", and it is a good name.

   "An An, An An..." Concubine Zhuang called out the little prince's name, laughing and teasing him.

   "An-an-" The little prince learned in a milky voice.

   The little prince was so young that he soon fell asleep. Concubine Zhuang personally put the New Year's money on his pillow before leaving.

  In the blink of an eye, winter is coming to spring, and the flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, competing for beauty.

  Because it was the first day of the new year, Lin Hao went to Yuhe Palace early in the morning to greet Concubine Zhuang.

   Concubine Zhuang's temperament is calm, and Lin Hao is generous and refreshing. The two have been getting along well for more than a year. While talking and laughing, a servant hurried in.

   "Niangniang, it's not good, something happened to the little prince!"

   Concubine Zhuang stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, "What happened to the little prince?"

   It was Xiao Guizi of Yungui Palace who came to report the letter, and his voice was full of tears: "The little prince suddenly fell into a coma!"

   Concubine Zhuang walked out as soon as she heard it, and several palace servants hurriedly followed.

  Lin Hao hesitated for a moment and followed silently.

   Yungui Palace's few palace attendants were all circling around the little prince. Seeing that Concubine Zhuang seemed to have found the backbone, she cried and told the story of the little prince's coma, but no one noticed Lin Hao.

  Lin Hao met the little prince for the first time.

   The three-year-old here is an imaginary year, but it is actually only a year old.
