After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

Emperor Jiaqing usually visited Jiang Wan every day, so he did not visit Jiang Wan for several days. Eunuch Wei mistakenly thought that there was another conflict between the two.

Otherwise, Emperor Jiaqing valued and cared about Jiang Wan. He used to visit her every day, but now he suddenly stopped visiting her for several days. Apart from this reason, Eunuch Wei really couldn't think of any other reason.

During these days, Emperor Jiaqing was obviously in a bad mood. Not to mention the people serving around him, even the ministers felt it, so they all acted cautiously, for fear of accidentally touching him.

"Eunuch Wei, you serve the emperor every day, do you know what's going on with the emperor recently?" Master Cui, the Minister of Punishment, was called by Emperor Jiaqing to discuss matters. He knew that Emperor Jiaqing was not in a good mood these days. Every official was scolded by him for finding fault, so before going to the study to see Emperor Jiaqing, he secretly asked Eunuch Wei about the situation so that he could have an idea.

Cui Yuan held an important position and had a good personal relationship with Emperor Jiaqing. He was both a minister and a friend of Emperor Jiaqing.

Eunuch Wei, who had served Emperor Jiaqing for many years, naturally had some friendship with Cui Yuan.

On weekdays, if Cui Yuanlai encounters Jiaqing and is angry, Eunuch Wei will remind him and let him be mentally prepared to avoid hitting the muzzle of a gun.

"Our family is not very clear about this, but we speculate that this may have something to do with Concubine Hui." Eunuch Wei did not hide it from Cui Yuan and told him his guess.

After all, the emperor's behavior in the past few days was indeed a bit abnormal. He originally went to visit Concubine Hui every day, but now he has not gone for several days in a row.

"Master Cui, you have a close relationship with the Emperor. Why don't you explain it to the Emperor? After all, continuing like this is not an option."

Cui Yuan certainly knew about this Empress Hui, and had even met her several times.

Hearing what Eunuch Wei said, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that Concubine Hui had such a great influence on Emperor Jiaqing.

"I will do my best." Although Cui Yuan and Emperor Jiaqing had known each other for many years and had a close friendship, he did not dare to guarantee it.

Emperor Jiaqing didn't dare to keep waiting, so the two of them didn't talk for long before Cui Yuan went in.

After Cui Yuan saluted Emperor Jiaqing and discussed official matters, Cui Yuan talked about private matters.

"Wei Chen seems to have something on your mind. I wonder if Your Majesty can talk to Wei Chen. Maybe Wei Chen can share your worries."

"I'm fine." Emperor Jiaqing didn't want to tell Cui Yuan about his troubles.

What's more, it's not easy for people to know about this kind of thing.

However, Cui Yuan didn't believe his words at all. His behavior in the past few days was obviously that something was wrong.

But Emperor Jiaqing didn't want to say it, and Cui Yuan couldn't force him.

"As long as nothing happens, I am also concerned about Your Majesty and your Majesty's dragon body."

"Zi Ling, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. Come have a drink with me." Emperor Jiaqing said.

‘Zi Ling’ is Cui Yuan’s cousin, and generally only people who are close to him would call him that.

"Okay." Cui Yuan naturally would not refuse.

Emperor Jiaqing ordered Wei Eunuch to prepare wine and food, and he wanted to drink with Cui Yuan.

When Eunuch Wei heard the order, he immediately sent someone to prepare a table.

Emperor Jiaqing and Cui Yuan did not drink in the house, but went to the pavilion in the garden.

The pavilion is covered with blue bricks, and the stone tables and chairs in the pavilion are made of white marble. They are not only beautiful, but also very cool to sit on.

Trees were planted around the pavilion to block the sunlight, so it was extremely cool to sit in the pavilion.

There is a pond next to it, which is full of lotus flowers. It is midsummer, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a drink." Cui Yuan raised his glass and said to Emperor Jiaqing.

When Emperor Jiaqing heard this, he picked up the wine glasses, clinked the glasses together, and then they both drank.

Although Emperor Jiaqing said he didn't want to say it before, he still couldn't hold it back after drinking a few glasses of wine. He vented his worries over the past few days to Cui Yuan.

"Zi Ling, how can I, as an emperor, be swayed by a woman?"

Although Emperor Jiaqing didn't say who it was, Cui Yuan had already guessed who the woman he was talking about was.

I think there should be no one else except Concubine Hui.

Although he had heard that Concubine Hui was favored more than once, he only thought that Emperor Jiaqing favored her so much because Concubine Hui gave birth to the eldest prince.

After all, he had met Concubine Hui and knew what Concubine Hui looked like. Although her appearance was not bad, in this harem where beauties gathered, she was not really eye-catching.

If she hadn't given birth to Emperor Jiaqing's only heir, Cui Yuan felt that with her appearance, it would have been difficult for her to get ahead in the harem.

But now that he heard Emperor Jiaqing's words, he knew that Concubine Hui's status in Emperor Jiaqing's heart was much higher than he imagined.

"Your Majesty, what do you say?" Cui Yuan looked at him and asked.

At this moment, there were only two of them in the pavilion. The other palace people were standing more than ten meters away from them. Emperor Jiaqing was not afraid that others would listen to what he said.

If it had been anyone else, Emperor Jiaqing would naturally not have said it, but although Cui Yuan and he were in a relationship between emperor and minister, they were also very good friends. Before he became emperor, the two of them had talked about everything. He wanted to talk, so he told him about his troubles these days.

"I found that her influence on me was too great, so I wanted to change so that I would not be emotionally affected by her, so I didn't visit her for a few days, but even so, I still couldn't restrain my worry about her. , secretly asking the chamberlain about her situation every day."

Emperor Jiaqing felt very conflicted. He was worried that Jiang Wan would have too much influence on him, so he did not dare to see Jiang Wan and deliberately avoided him. He wanted to use this to reduce Jiang Wan's influence on him.

It's just that doing this doesn't seem to be of much use. Instead, it makes me feel even worse.

"Your Majesty, maybe you are in love with Concubine Hui, that's why you are like this." Listening to his description, Cui Yuan was sure that his feelings for Jiang Wan were unusual.

He was probably in love with Concubine Hui without knowing it.
