The imperial concubine was born with unusual beauty. She was very popular with the emperor in the past. Later, under the careful care of Dr. Cao, she gave birth to a prince.
Although Xie Xun was not the eldest son, he was deeply loved by the emperor.
In addition, when Xie Xun grew up, he volunteered to join the army camp and start from scratch. He did not have the airs of a prince at all. Instead, he tamed the border guards and was recognized by the soldiers. He even saved the Daqi border in the border battle. The emperor commended Xie Xun for his efforts.
At the same time, he doted on the imperial concubine even more.
Now in the palace, apart from the queen, the most favored and highest-status person is the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine's palace is in a good location in the palace, very close to the emperor's bedroom.
When Qin Rushuang took the female family members to the palace, Grandma Wan Hong was already waiting at the door.
"Hurry, hurry, my concubine, I've been looking forward to her arrival since early in the morning!"
Qin Rushuang smiled and quickly walked into the palace. Sure enough, the imperial concubine had prepared tea and was waiting.
"You child!" The imperial concubine held Qin Rushuang's hand affectionately: "It's really difficult for my mother to see you!"
"Isn't my son coming now? I also miss my mother. Aren't I afraid that if I come too often, my mother will be bored?"
The imperial concubine pretended to be angry and patted her hand gently: "Except your mother, who else loves you the most?"
Qin Rushuang smiled, "Of course it's the queen mother!"
Qin Rushuang was no stranger to the imperial concubine. When she was a child, she often went to the palace with her mother and ate a lot of the imperial concubine's cakes.
I just don't know if she is really destined to miss Xie Xun. Every time she comes, she can't meet Xie Xun.
Either Xie Xun was in class with the Taifu, or Xie Xun went out with other princes, or later went to the military camp.
She obviously knew Xie Xun earlier than anyone else, but she finally met him from a distance outside the city.
Maybe this is just a fate that plays tricks on people, and they are destined but not destined.
Putting away all the emotions in her heart, Qin Rushuang said with a smile: "Today I mainly bring them to show the mother and concubine. The mother and concubine know that the prince's temperament is somewhat unclear, and I don't know who to bring. The mother and concubine will help.
I came up with an idea, and if the prince doesn’t like it, I will say that my mother chose the person!”
Qin Rushuang winked playfully.
"You!" The imperial concubine scraped Qin Rushuang's nose affectionately: "You have a beautiful idea!"
"Would the mother-in-law help the son-in-law?"
"Help! Help!"
As the imperial concubine spoke, she really looked at these people carefully.
When Qin Rushuang was talking to the imperial concubine, they, the concubines, had no room to talk. Now Qin Rushuang brought the topic to them, and all of them sat up straight.
Qin Fanghao was especially nervous.
The imperial concubine asked several concubines in detail about their situation, and all of them answered truthfully, except for one thing: they tacitly lied.
The princess asked about the prince's overnight stay, and several people chose to say that the prince occasionally came over, but not often.
They said this not because they were afraid of Qin Rushuang, but because of their own status.
The status of Da Qi's concubines is not high. If it is true that she has not stayed with her for a long time after entering the palace, the noble concubine will not blame Qin Rushuang, the principal concubine, but will only think that they are useless.
Concubines originally existed to please their husbands, but now that your husbands won’t even enter your room, what’s the use of you?
Maybe if the imperial concubine is unhappy, she will expel them from the house and replace them with new concubines.
Thinking like this, several people even secretly prayed that the princess would not expose them.
However, when she asked how Qin Fang was doing, her answer made the imperial concubine very satisfied.
The imperial concubine knew about this second young lady who was a concubine of the Qin family, and she also knew a little bit about the disputes between the three of them.
How should I put it? It stands to reason that she doesn't like this Qin Fanghao. Beauty has been a disaster since ancient times.
He was afraid that his son would really disregard the overall situation for a woman. In any case, Qin Rushuang was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion after all, and she was a child who knew everything.
But secretly, the concubine hopes that her son can also find the one he loves.
Her son was already cold-tempered, and it would be too pitiful if he didn't have a caring and loving woman.
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine's mood was really complicated when she faced Qin Fanghao.
As usual, she asked some trivial things about the back house, and when she asked about the overnight stay, Qin Fanghao thought about what he should say in his heart, and made sure that there were no mistakes before speaking cautiously.
"Go back to your Majesty, Your Majesty has not spent the night with me yet."
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows, she had not thought of this.
Seeing that the imperial concubine seemed to have doubts, Qin Fanghao explained: "Thanks to my sister, when Dr. Cao was treating my sister last time, he also looked at the slave and said that the slave was in poor health and it would be difficult to keep her pregnant.
So I have prescribed a prescription for recuperation, and I am eating it now, but it turns out that the servant is really useless, and I am afraid that I will not be able to serve the prince these days."
As she said this, there was no regret on her face, but a look of joy: "Fortunately, I found it early, and now I am well on my way to recovery. In the future..."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the girl's face, she glanced at Qin Rushuang for the last time, and whispered: "Besides, the princess has just become pregnant with her eldest son. It would be best to wait until the eldest son is born before adding a new child."
Qin Rushuang gave Qin Fang a surprised look.
Has this concubine of hers finally figured it out after so many bad moves?
Qin Fanghao's words simply spoke to the imperial concubine's heart.
She did not fight, grab, or complain. She focused on recuperating her body and adding children to the palace. She also considered the issue of the eldest son and pleased the imperial concubine.
This is the secret of the palace that she spent a lot of money to find out.
When the imperial concubine was pregnant, the child was only diagnosed two months ago. A palace maid next to her climbed into the emperor's bed. A month later, she was also diagnosed with pregnancy and her title was sealed.
The girl soared into the sky and thought she was great. She provoked her old master, the imperial concubine, at every turn, and even said bluntly: "It's not certain who will succeed her."
This really offended the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was not a vegetarian. In the end, the palace maid did not survive until the child was brought to full term, killing two people.
Because of this, the imperial concubine is very taboo about these things. This time she called people here, in addition to selecting the female relatives who would accompany her on the spring hunt, the other purpose was to give medicine to avoid children.
She hoped that after the concubine's child was safely delivered, the concubine would become pregnant again.
Qin Fanghao's words made the imperial concubine appreciate and love her even more.
Aunt Wan Hong knew the imperial concubine best. With a glance, the number of medicines brought by the palace maid changed from four bowls to three bowls.
The three concubines all drank the medicine peacefully. After all, even if they didn't drink it, there was nothing they could do if the prince didn't come to their room.
The effect of this medicine is only temporary. Once the princess gives birth, she will be fine after stopping the medicine.
Qin Fanghao was relieved because of what he just said, he was relieved of the need for anti-pregnancy medicine.
In this way, she should be able to accompany Chun Lie, and her plan should be able to proceed normally without taking the anti-pregnant medicine.
After drinking the medicine, the imperial concubine was very satisfied: "There are not many female relatives in Xun'er's house, so let's take them all with us this time, so as not to mistreat the servants."
Qin Rushuang smiled and nodded, but looked at Qin Fanghao with a deeper look.
