Chapter 395 Concubine Xiao is extremely haggard
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kun raised his eyebrows and showed some interest.
"Oh? Tell me, Yu'er has never asked me for anything before."
"Your Majesty, Yu'er has lost contact with her family since entering the palace. After so many years, my family may have thought that I was no longer alive.
Now that I am getting older, I miss my family more and more. I beg the emperor to show mercy and allow Yu'er to go home to see her, okay?"
Emperor Kun did not expect it to be such a small matter.
Aunt Yu looked at Emperor Kun expectantly with her beautiful eyes. More than 20 years had passed in a flash, and traces of time could be seen on her still charming face.
Emperor Kun said happily,
"Yu'er, I've really wronged you by letting you serve in the imperial study without any title or status! It's not a big deal to meet your family members for such a small matter.
In a few days, I will send someone to find out if you have any family members. If any of your brothers or nephews have good conduct,
I will make an exception and give Yu'er a favor, arrange a job for her, and let them have food and clothing without worries, okay?"
Aunt Yu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and the smile on her face gradually widened. She stood up hurriedly, knelt down and bowed to Emperor Kun, saying,
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
"Hahaha, Yu'er, get up quickly."
After Aunt Jingyu's interruption, Emperor Kun put aside the doubts in his heart.

New Year's Eve passed as people looked forward to having enough food and clothing and a happy life in the coming year!
However, the cold weather this year was exceptionally long, and luck did not favor us when the new year arrived.
The cold wind was raging, and the poor crops in the fields were frozen to death by the extreme cold weather, and disasters occurred in various places.
The common people were living in dire straits, and people fleeing famine, dragging their children with them, could be seen everywhere.
The Daliang State, which already had an empty treasury, was even more stretched, making Emperor Kun busy all day long.
Two months have passed since the Chinese New Year.
Meanwhile, in the imperial mausoleum outside Beijing, the prince was obediently guarding the tombs of his ancestors and reflecting on his mistakes.
Prince Rui was in the palace and was taken by the emperor to handle government affairs. However, he was not immune to the depression of his father every day.
*
"King Rui, how could you handle this matter like this?"
With a "bang", a thick memorial book was thrown heavily onto the desk under the window by Emperor Kun.
Liang Hengrui was so shocked that he raised his head suddenly.
He stood up and bowed,
"Father, please calm down. I will review it again."
His humble attitude made Emperor Kun even more angry, and he angrily said,
"How many times have I told you, do you need your father to tell you everything? If the prince were here, I wouldn't have to worry about you so much."
"Yes, Father is right in teaching me. I will remember it."
The veins on the fist hidden in Prince Rui's sleeve were exposed.
The prince! The prince! The prince again! Liang Hengrui was so angry that his heart seemed to be about to jump out. He was stimulated to collapse by his father's devilish voice, which was not as good as the prince's.
*
At this time, Emperor Kun sighed.
"Alright! Go take a break, think about it carefully, and then come back to deal with it!"
"Yes. I obey your command."
This time, Liang Hengrui did not pretend to be active. He bowed and walked out of the imperial study quickly.
Eunuch De, who was waiting at the door, stepped forward and bowed,
"Prince Rui, the Imperial Concubine just sent someone to tell you to go to Ruyi Palace when you are free. She said the Imperial Concubine missed you!"
Liang Hengrui paused, nodded and said,
"Thank you, Eunuch. I will be there soon. If father asks...?"
Eunuch De hurriedly said,
"Don't worry! I will report back."
Prince Rui then strode towards the harem, and Eunuch Xiaodongzi followed him at a trot!
*
Ruyi Palace,
Concubine Xiao is now acting out of character, closing the door of Ruyi Palace and focusing on her pregnancy.
Because of her silence, the harem was in harmony.
When Prince Rui entered the room, he saw Madam Yao, who had broken bones all over her body, sitting in a wooden wheelchair and being pushed out in the sun by a palace maid.
"Prince Rui, you are here? The Imperial Concubine has mentioned you many times! I knew you were very busy with the Emperor and didn't have time to visit.
That's good, the queen will be very happy to see you."
Aunt Yao grinned with her eyes and eyebrows curved.
Neither she nor Concubine Xiao mentioned the sudden and unexpected fracture that day, and both seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic.
Prince Rui nodded to Nanny Yao, and without asking any further questions, he strode into the inner hall.
Aunt Yao's smiling mouth slowly closed, and there was a moment of loss on her face.
But it was fleeting, and she instructed the little maid,
"Push me into the inner hall."
"Yes, Aunt Yao."
*
In the inner temple,
As soon as Liang Hengrui entered the door,
I saw my mother lying on the soft couch under the window, and two palace maids were gently massaging her calves.
Chunhua and Qiushi immediately saluted King Rui.
"Your servant pays respect to King Rui."
"Well, all of you go down!"
The two looked at Concubine Xiao, waved their hands, and hurried out.
"My son, I pay my respects to my mother and concubine."
Concubine Xiao's belly was already showing, and she said with some resentment,
"My son, you finally remembered your mother."
After saying that, Concubine Xiao sat up and pretended to be displeased.
"Mother, why do you look so haggard?"
Liang Hengrui hadn't seen Concubine Xiao for more than a month, and he was surprised when he saw her suddenly.
I saw that Concubine Xiao had lost a lot of weight, her face was pale with a dark blue tint, and her eyes were big and bulging.
The most worrying thing is that the only thing that looks abnormal is the bulging belly on the skinny body.
*
Liang Hengrui walked over and said nervously,
"Mother, the baby in your belly should be more than five months old, why is it so big? When Bingcheng was pregnant with Changge, it was not like this either."
Concubine Xiao was grinning when she heard her son's concern, but suddenly she heard her son mention Ding Bingcheng and said with some displeasure,
"Why bring up that short-lived girl? You're comparing her to my mother."
Liang Hengrui knew that he had spoken out of turn, so he gently pulled Concubine Xiao's hand and slapped himself on the mouth.
"Mother, I was wrong. When I saw your big belly, I recalled the time when Princess Rui was young."
Concubine Xiao thought of her daughter-in-law who had died long ago, sighed, and held her son's hand.
"Tell Concubine Li to take good care of Chang Ge'er. If anything goes wrong, be careful of the Li family."
"Mother, don't worry! She doesn't dare. Chang Ge'er is fine."
"Well, that's good. But my son, don't rush to marry a princess. When you take that position, your mother will definitely find the best one for you."
When Liang Hengrui heard about marrying a princess, Fang Qingge's figure instantly appeared before his eyes. He frowned and
"Mother, there is no rush for this matter."
"Yes, mother knows."
King Rui couldn't help but ask,
"Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
"I?"
*
At this time,
Yao Ma, who had been pushed in by the palace maid a long time ago, saw that there were only three of them in the room, so she took up the conversation.
"Prince Rui, don't blame Madam for being nosy, the Queen is pregnant too early.
Could you please persuade the Imperial Concubine to let the Imperial Physician Niu come to check her pulse every day? !
Madam is so worried! The queen always says that she is in good health, but she refuses to let the imperial physician Niu to check her pulse for various reasons. "
