"Don't compare them." The emperor said this angrily, and the imperial doctor was startled, and quickly changed his words and did not mention the concubine, and explained, "Ping Gui is still a few months old. After weighing the pros and cons, abandoning the fetus at the moment is indeed a protection.
The most effective way to maintain maternal health will become more and more dangerous as the month goes by. Even if you survive until the last moment, I assert that the fetus will die in infancy."
"Died in infancy?" Xuan Ye's heart was shocked. Although he did not let the imperial doctor compare Ping Gui and Lan Qi, they had a daughter who died in infancy. At that time, the imperial doctor also said every day that it would be better to give up the child. As for other children who died in infancy, he
I never paid much attention to the condition of my biological mother during pregnancy.
"Your Majesty, look..."
"Let Pinggui give birth to a child. Pinggui likes children. Now if you tell her that you can't give birth, she will suffer even more." After a few words, Xuan Ye already had an idea in his mind. He looked at the imperial doctor calmly and said, "Let Pinggui give birth to the child."
After giving birth, you can do what you can to keep her child until the final moment of delivery, don't make any mistakes, and do your best."
The emperor's words seemed to be categorical, but they were broken into paragraphs. He just repeatedly emphasized his decision. Obviously, he did not have a complete idea in his mind. All he wanted was a result. As for the process, he didn't care at all.
The imperial doctors have been walking deep in the palace for decades, and they all know how to look at each other's eyes and understand the emperor's attitude. Afterwards, they can understand the emperor's intention by talking to Eunuch Liang a little bit. In this matter, as long as they "try their best" to keep Ping Guihe and
The final outcome of the fetus, mother and child is not important. What is important is that they have to show all this to outsiders, or in other words, to the prince’s maternal grandfather’s family.
At the same time, another pregnant woman in the palace lived in a corner of the Sixth Palace. After returning from Changchun Garden, she was almost forgotten. The emperor was busy with the war and did not even get close to the harem, let alone think of her. Zhang promised
My belly is gradually getting pregnant, but everything is stable and nothing is wrong.
But this time something happened to Ping Guiren, and people remembered the other pregnant woman. At that time, she was sitting quietly in the corner of the banquet. After Ping Guiren was carried away by people, Zhang Yaoyong felt that many people were looking at her.
She looked at herself. Several people around her were busy expressing their concern for her. The Queen Mother saw this and asked: "Where does Zhang Xuancheng live now? Why don't I see you often?"
The Queen Mother just said that casually, but Concubine Yi seized the opportunity and elaborated on the inappropriateness of the place where Zhang promised to live. She coaxed the Queen Mother in the hope of getting Zhang to agree to move back to Yikun Palace, saying: "Concubine and Zhang agree to love each other.
Sisters know each other's tempers best. Princess Wen Ke was also raised in the concubine's palace, so it would be most appropriate for the concubine to take care of her. But it was Empress Xiaoyi's idea that day, and she sent Zhang to that quiet place, and the concubine has been there ever since.
It's not easy to mention it, for fear of being said to be disrespectful to Queen Xiaoyi, but I don't have any such intention in my heart."
While listening to Concubine Yi's words, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at Lan Qi. Seeing that she was holding the wine glass in her hand with a calm expression, she understood what she meant and casually told Concubine Yi: "Pregnant women should not move too much.
It’s not good for your health and the child, so let Zhang agree to give birth there. As for where to live in the future, we’ll wait until the child is born.”
Being so rejected, Yi Fei was very angry. Afterwards, she agreed to meet with Zhang, but instead blamed her: "Are you stupid? I already spoke for you like that, why didn't you take the initiative to speak up? If you said you wanted to move out,
, Queen Mother, can you still agree? Seeing your unwillingness to live or die, others will think that we two can't get along."
On the Queen Mother's side, Lan Qi was left to ask her privately: "I heard a few words, but I don't know if they are true. The relationship between you and Zhang Xu is not what it seems to others? Just now, Concubine Yi said that, I almost
I was about to agree to her casually, but suddenly I thought about your past relationship, looked at you one more time, and saw the faint look on your face, I felt inappropriate in my heart, so I didn't agree to Concubine Yi."
Lan Qi was grateful to the Empress Dowager for thinking of her in everything. The relationship with the Empress Dowager now is different from that with the Empress Dowager before. At that time, the Empress Dowager just relied on Lan Qi to have a companion who could joke and entertain her and take good care of her.
She, but now the Queen Mother and her are truly dependent on each other. This time the emperor personally went on the expedition, and everything was explained clearly to each other.
So Lan Qi chose to tell the Queen Mother little by little about these things that could be said in order to reach a tacit understanding with her, and the Queen Mother also understood Lan Qi's intentions. Moreover, she had always disliked Concubine Yi because of the fifth elder brother.
Instead of explaining, he said reassuringly: "I've seen you and Yi Fei walking around very diligently in recent days. I was worried that you were confused. How can someone like Yi Fei be suitable for talking to each other and having no conscience?"
In this case, Lan Qi did not continue talking to the Queen Mother. Lan Qi knew why the Queen Mother was unhappy. As the fifth elder brother grew up, it became more and more obvious that Concubine Yi and the fifth elder brother were not close to their mother and son. The fifth elder brother
He still had an attitude of completely ignoring his background in Yikun Palace. Everyone said that he was raised by the imperial grandmother, and he only showed respect to his biological mother when he met her. To put it bluntly, he didn't take her seriously at all.
In fact, the Queen Mother never taught the fifth elder brother to deny his biological mother. When he was a child, the Queen Mother asked him not to have any contact with his biological mother. When he grew up, he entered the study room and learned poetry, calligraphy and etiquette. The fifth elder brother gradually developed
His own idea gradually became the eldest child's. He himself did not want to recognize this biological mother. The Queen Mother even mentioned that she hoped that he would respect filial piety and not offend the emperor. However, the fifth elder brother still went his own way, serving his grandmother with all his heart, being very filial and treating his biological mother.
But like a stranger.
All this was seen by everyone in the palace, but Concubine Yi secretly claimed everywhere that the fifth elder brother became like this because the Queen Mother deliberately instigated them and their son. It was inevitable that some words would reach the Queen Mother's ears. How could the Queen Mother be willing to be
Concubine Yifei was so criticized from behind. She worked hard to raise her fifth elder brother to grow up safely. The biological mother did not say a word of gratitude, but accused her behind her back. Just because she did not hear it with her own ears and eyes, the Empress Dowager kept silent.
, but I don’t have a good look at Yifei’s attitude.
This is not a bad thing for Lan Qi, or even for everyone else. In the past, the Queen Mother was still worried that the Queen Mother would get close to Concubine Yi because of the connection of the fifth elder brother. Unexpectedly, they were probably destined to be incompatible.
Personally, the relationship becomes tense because of this.
Speaking of which, there are more and more children in the palace who are not raised by their biological mothers. The fifth princess is also raised in Ningshou Palace, but there is no such awkward relationship. Not only does Concubine Yi herself have no intention of reflecting, but she also
I was isolated, and other good things didn't show much, but this incident made it eye-catching, and everyone who looked at it snickered inwardly.
For example, in Concubine Hui's eyes, Concubine Yi is a fool. Ever since Concubine Yi broke up with her, she has made several attempts to show her goodwill to no avail, and has made up her mind that no matter how hard life gets, she will never interact with this woman again. Recently, the two of them have
The further they walked, the more Concubine Yi felt embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother that day. When they returned to the palace with her, they chatted a few words on the road. In the past, Concubine Hui would definitely take the opportunity to win Concubine Yi over, but now she no longer has this chance.
I'm just trying to be polite and listen.
Regardless of what others think of the current Concubine Hui, she is currently living with her tail between her legs all the time. One of the reasons is that she does not have a trustworthy person like Yan Zhu around her to rely on, and more importantly, her son has not come back yet.
At present, Prince Yu and Prince Gong are still leading troops to garrison in Mobei to prevent Galdan from counterattacking. The eldest brother is Prince Yu's deputy general and has followed Prince Yu from the beginning to the end of the battle. Now that Prince Yu's army has not returned, the eldest brother is still there.
Outside, no one dared to mention it unless the emperor took the initiative to ask him to come back.
Concubine Hui watched the prince return safely and the emperor recover, but his son was still left outside. The palace was bustling with celebrations for winning the war for more than a month, and her heart was still hanging in her throat. She couldn't do anything.
quiet.
When she returned from Ningshou Palace on the Double Ninth Festival, she saw the young brothers and princesses playing in Ningshou Palace who had not gone to study. She felt very disappointed. It is said that her eldest granddaughter is also cute and exquisite now, but her daughter-in-law
Even if she really wanted to see the child, she wouldn't be able to send it to the palace. For some reason, every time she calmed down and thought about it, Concubine Hui would fall into the panic that she had nothing.
But that night, the eighth prince came back from the study and brought good news to Concubine Hui. Yinsu excitedly told his adoptive mother: "I heard that the eldest brother is going back to Beijing, so don't worry, mother-in-law."
The eighth elder brother heard those words from the third elder brother. Since the third elder brother went to Mobei with the prince, his relationship with the prince has become much closer than before. Although he is not studying in Yuqing Palace, he often visits the prince now.
He would be called by the prince, and he and his fourth brother were already frequently in and out of Yuqing Palace.
Yinsu gently comforted: "Third brother said it was the prince's brother who mentioned it. It will be soon. Don't worry, Eniang. The eldest brother will return safely."
Although it was just a child's words, no one in the deep palace really cared about his concubine Hui, but hearing it made his heart warm inexplicably. Thinking back to the excitement of the children in Ningshou Palace, he understood even more that he could not lose his eighth prince.
Even if it is just to maintain a decent relationship, she must hold it firmly.
But Concubine Hui could only feel at ease for a few days. Four or five days later, although the court also said that a group of people under Prince Yu and Prince Gong were going to return to Beijing first, and the eldest brother seemed to be among them, but before Concubine Hui could feel at ease, another voice came out
Rumor has it that this time Galdan was allowed to flee and failed to eliminate him, all because Prince Yu underestimated the enemy and delayed the best opportunity to pursue him. In other words, he let Galdan go.
The emperor's attitude has always been to pursue this matter, and Prince Yu will inevitably be held accountable. However, there are rumors these days that the eldest brother is also involved. If the emperor pursues the matter, the eldest brother will also bear the responsibility. Now the eldest brother
He is about to return to Beijing early. How the emperor will punish the eldest brother will be revealed in these few days.
