Chapter 216: Give Her a Princess
If such a woman becomes a queen in the future, won't the entire harem be a mess?
In addition, Gu Yingxun also felt that Ying Ning's appearance and personality satisfied him more, so the queen finally settled on Ying Ning.
Who knew what would happen next?
Nature plays tricks on people.
When Concubine Shu thought of this, her heart became filled with panic and she felt aggrieved for her precious niece.
"My age is not much different from your mother's. Your eldest brother is already in his twenties, and your younger brother is only eleven years old? Do you know why my aunt had no children in the first few years?" Concubine Shu asked Ying Ning.
Ying Ning shook her head.
My parents never mentioned it, and my aunt never mentioned it either.
As for herself, she would not take the initiative to inquire into the privacy of her elders.
According to her own ideas, as an emperor's woman, with so many concubines in the harem, it is inevitable that there will be some overt and covert fighting. It is normal to have children later.
How many concubines have never been able to have a child in their entire lives.
It's all ordinary.
Concubine Shu stood up, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, drank half the cup silently, and then said softly: "In fact, before Xiao Shiyi, I once gave birth to a child. It was a girl."
Ying Ning was slightly startled.
"Not long after the child was born, he... died." Concubine Shu's voice was astringent. "The imperial doctor said that the child was born with deficiencies and his heart did not grow properly."
Ying Ning listened silently.
Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Not long after, your mother gave birth to you. When I saw it, I thought your eyes looked so much like mine, and I loved her so much. Later, your mother became ill.
When you died, I took the initiative to bring you back to take care of you. I sincerely raised you as my own daughter."
Yingning wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said softly: "Aunt, I am your daughter."
"I know, you are my daughter."
Concubine Shu held her in her arms.
"What's going on? The two of us are holding our heads and crying. What sad thing has occurred to us?"
The emperor's voice came.
Concubine Shu hurriedly stood up to say hello.
"No courtesy." The emperor stretched out his hand to help Concubine Shu up.
He changed into a homely robe, looking calm and dignified.
It's completely different from the previous time when I was running away and feeling apathetic and haggard.
Ying Ning also wanted to stand up and salute, but the emperor stopped her.
"Girl Ning is ill, farewell." The emperor sat on the chair brought by Concubine Shu and said with a smile, "I heard that Girl Ning is ill, so I came here to have a look. What did the imperial doctor say?"
Concubine Shu replied: "When I got back to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that I have caught wind and cold. I need to take a few doses of medicine to evacuate, and then sleep well for a few days and rest. It will be fine. It's nothing serious."
The emperor sighed: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for bringing me and Lao Liu back, Ning Yatou wouldn't be so sick. Don't be in a hurry to go back these days. Stay in the palace and let me know.
Concubine Shu, take good care of you."
"My concubine said the same thing, but this child insists on going back."
"Not urgent."
The emperor smiled and said, "Girl Ning, you have made great achievements this time, and I will definitely reward you. Whatever you want, just say it, as long as I can do it."
Ying Ning said in a hoarse voice: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for the gift, but I haven't thought of it yet."
"Ying Ning is still ill, so the reward is not urgent." Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and said half-jokingly, "Or, the emperor gives a princess to Ying Ning to do?"
Ying Ning thought to herself, isn't this a dream?
