Chapter 218 Teaching
Concubine Xian nodded slightly, pondered for a moment before saying, "The Empress's child... may be a prince."
"Prince?" Shu Shu frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "So even if it is a prince, he is just a baby in a cradle. He is still far from growing up. Our eldest prince is the emperor's eldest son."
"You only know one thing, but not the other. It doesn't matter whether you are the eldest son in the emperor's heart. What's important is... only the legitimate son, the child born by the queen, is qualified to inherit the throne. In the future, the princes in the palace will have no chance!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Shu's little red face was filled with fear, then she took a deep breath and said, "What cousin means is, if the Empress gave birth to a prince, then the eldest prince will have no chance in the future?"
Concubine Xian nodded slightly and said no more.
"The Queen may give birth to a princess!" Shu Shu said with a glimmer of hope.
"I have asked several imperial physicians who took the queen's pulse, and most of them are princes!" Concubine Xian whispered.
Upon hearing this, Shu Shu bit her lip tightly, and said for a while: "I must not let the eldest prince down!"
"Don't do stupid things, you girl. I'm just talking casually. If the queen can give birth to a prince, it will be a blessing in the world and a blessing in the country!" Concubine Xian smiled.
Shu Shu said for a long time and said for a while: "Cousin, it's getting late, I have to go back for a meal. I'm afraid my sister and the eldest brother will wait for a long time!"
"Go!" Concubine Xian patted her hands and smiled.
"Yes!" Shushu immediately retreated.
"Why are you afraid that the Empress will be unable to think about it and do something beheaded?" Mu Yun then walked in and whispered.
She could hear it clearly just now.
"I envy her for being stupid, but... the more a person she is like, the more he can do something earth-shaking!" Concubine Xian's face was full of smiles.
"If something happens in a day, she will give up the empress, how can it be better?" Mu Yun was worried that Shu Shu would not be reliable.
"I didn't say anything to her and never gave her advice. If something really happened, no one could think of throwing dirty water on me!" Concubine Xian paused slightly, and then smiled and said, "Mu Yun, look for an opportunity to invite Aunt Lu Mo beside the Empress Dowager to come!"
"The Empress ordered me to invite you last time. Although Aunt Lu Mo came to see the Empress Dowager, she was a little reluctant. Now..." Mu Yun hesitated a little.
"Tell her, if you want to know how Empress Huixian died, come to Yikun Palace!" Concubine Xian said after pondering for a moment.
"Empress, you?" Mu Yun was stunned.
"Guy Xiu is dead, and Qingzhu is also dead. Only I and you know the inside story. We will decide who the dirty water is going to pour onto whom! "Concubine Xian smiled.
"What the Empress said is that I will go and invite Aunt Lumo tonight!"
"Well, prepare a big gift. I will have to go to Yongshou Palace to see Concubine Jia later. She is full of ambition today. If the child in her belly can be born safely, I will make her regret it if she cannot!" Concubine Xian said coldly.
"Yes, I'll prepare now!"
Compared to the desertedness of Yikun Palace, Jiafei's Yongshou Palace was overcrowded at this time.
Since she asked the imperial physician to report to the emperor that she was pregnant, the rewards from the emperor, the empress dowager and the empress have been successively received, and the concubines in the harem have also rushed to congratulate him.
"Concubine Jia, you must raise your body well and give birth to a little prince for the Ai family!" The empress dowager held Concubine Jia's hand and smiled.
"Empress Dowager, this is not certain. What should I do if it is a princess?" Concubine Jia pretended to be scared.
"It's the princess, Ai's family, and the emperor also likes it! Seeing the emperor's descendants more and more, Ai's family is so happy!" After a series of concubines and joy, the empress dowager was naturally happy.
"Yes, Empress Dowager Xie!" Concubine Jia smiled.
"Mother, it's getting late, and Concubine Jia should take a break. My son will send you back to Cining Palace!" The emperor looked at the Empress Dowager Xi Zhuyankai and smiled.
"No need, the Ai family will go back to the palace by themselves. Emperor, please accompany Concubine Jia!" The empress dowager smiled and then left.
When he returned to Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch for a moment, sighed, and said to Lu Mo beside him: "Send someone to invite Concubine Xian!"
"Yes, Empress Dowager!" Lu Mo immediately ordered the eunuch beside him to go.
When he learned that the Empress Dowager was going to see her, Concubine Xian naturally did not dare to delay and immediately sat on her shoulder and headed to Cining Palace.
"I wish you a blessing to the Empress Dowager!" After entering the bedroom, Concubine Xian had a great blessing.
"Get up, Lu Mo, give me a seat!" The empress dowager said with a little fatigue.
"Thank you Empress Dowager!" Concubine Xian sat down.
"Minruo, I heard from the Ai family that you told the concubines in the harem early this morning that you would reduce the cost of the harem. Is this a matter?" The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Xian, her eyes full of solemnity.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in her heart, and then she smiled and said, "You are the Queen Mother, this is indeed the case!"
"I'll tell them tomorrow, let me give up this matter and don't mention it again in the future!" the empress dowager shook her head and said.
"Why?" Concubine Xian couldn't help asking.
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly: "You are so confused. This month's money and cost are the basis for concubines to live in this palace. How can you change it at will? This will make them panic and let them join forces to deal with you. What's more, if you are careless about reducing the cost, it will cause trouble!"
"Empress, is this... so serious?" Concubine Xian was a little disbelief.
"Do you think the Ai family is lying to you?" The empress dowager couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Concubine Xian, thinking, this child was very sensible in his usual work, but why has he become more and more extreme in recent days?
"I don't dare, but Empress Dowager, I dare to guarantee that if the Empress Dowager agrees, I will definitely do this beautifully, and the emperor will definitely be satisfied!" Concubine Xian said unwillingly.
"What are you going to guarantee the Ai family?" The Empress Dowager suddenly lowered her face.
"This..." Concubine Xian hesitated.
