Time passed in the middle of May in a blink of an eye, and the weather gradually became hotter. Even the palace attendants changed into thinner spring clothes. During this period, the emperor kept all the new concubines who entered the palace out of the Minglu. Except for one person.
, that is Feng Zhihe, this lady Feng actually said bad things about everyone in the harem when she was sleeping, and even sued the queen. When Xie Xiao heard those words, she originally wanted to see her brother
She was tolerant to her because she was loyal and capable, until she actually took the Queen's eye drops. Even Xie Xiao was shocked by her stupidity and asked someone to send her back. When the Queen heard about it, she immediately
Following Yi's decree, he was fined and banned for three months, and his salary was half a year.
Now Feng Zhihe suddenly became the laughing stock of the whole palace. Lady Feng was confined to her own residence. She also listened to some comments from outside and was so angry that she threw everything in the house.
Gu Panfu's life was becoming more and more leisurely. She paid greetings to the queen every day and came back to sleep in her cage. The rest of the time was spent by herself. Gu Panfu looked for a few travel notes and read them, and gained some insights from them.
I asked Hanlu to find some more. The emperor didn't know where he found out about it, so he sent a few copies over. Gu Panfu was a little flattered, so she went to Taichen Palace in the evening to thank her, and it was natural that she stayed there.
Come down.
Gu Panfu discovered that Xie Xiao is a very interesting person. When he is with the concubines, he does not stick to those rigid rules. The way he looks at you is always gentle and affectionate, but when you want to explore more, then
It was calm and emotionless again below. Gu Panfu didn't care. She wasn't here to fall in love with the emperor. She didn't want to do anything with his sincerity. If she was dissatisfied at this stage, it was probably that the weather was getting hotter.
, and she has a body that is intolerant to heat. But the ice in her quota is limited, and the rest has to be bought with her own money. It would be great if she can buy it, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to put it on the hot stove, so she
Even if you give out money, you won't get much.
The next day I went to pay my respects to the queen. Gu Panfu was a little drowsy. Xie Xiao had been too hard on her last night and she couldn't bear it. Xie Xiao was "considerate" and wanted to help her apply for leave, but she declined. She was not a precious concubine.
, it’s okay to ask for leave as soon as she goes to bed, she has no plans to offend the queen yet.
Just when Gu Panfu was going to meet Duke Zhou, Song Yunv, who was sitting at the bottom, suddenly stood up, touched her belly tenderly and saluted the queen with a happy look on her face: "Queen, my concubine seems to be pregnant. I would like to invite you.
The queen asked an imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse."
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in Fengyi Palace. The queen was the first to react and said with a smile: "Zilan, go and ask the Baiyuan of Taiyuan Hospital to judge in person."
While waiting for the Baiyuan Judgment to arrive, the concubines all came to their senses and put on decent smiles again, but there was a hint of stiffness in the smiles. Gu Panfu was no longer sleepy, and she looked a little surprised.
Look at Song Yunu's belly. Didn't she go to bed with her last month?
Not long after, Bai Yuanju came and checked her pulse repeatedly: "To report to the Empress, Princess Song is indeed two months pregnant."
"Okay, reward." The queen asked someone to give Song Yunv a soft cushion, and asked someone to go to Taichen Palace to report. She then said to Song Yunv gently and kindly: "This is the emperor's first child since he ascended the throne. Song
You have to take good care of me, my maid, and I will also take care of you."
These words were like a reminder, and everyone had different expressions on their faces. Princess Song's face paled slightly, and her hand holding the handkerchief was slightly harder, but she had to stand up to express her gratitude: "Concubine, thank you, Queen Mother."
Gu Panfu concealed the emotion in her eyes by drinking tea. The harem was going to be lively again. When she put down the tea cup, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the expression of the precious concubine. She saw that the precious concubine pursed her lips tightly, and there was something in her eyes.
A hint of anger.
Princess Song frowned slightly all the way back to her residence. Her eldest maid, Kidney, gently squeezed her shoulders and asked: "Master, why are you doing this? Why don't you wait three months for the emperor's heir to be safe?"
What are we telling the Queen?" Kiddou has been following Song Yunv since she was in the mansion, and the two of them have supported her until now, so she naturally speaks more boldly.
Song Yunv leaned on the couch a little tiredly, and her tone was not very good: "In a few days, it will be the day to ask for peace of mind again. Last time I used money to gag, how much money can I give this time?"
Kiddou fell silent. She knew her master's situation very well. Song Yunv was just a maid who served the prince's personnel at that time. She was even one year older than Xie Xiao. Because she looked better than the other maid, she was left to be a maid.
Concubine. Being able to have a serious position in the palace is considered a great favor. Now, her already sparse favor has become less and less. Having this child is really a surprise. How could she not want to keep this child?
It’s just that her foundation is too shallow, and it is too difficult for her to rely on herself. Song Yunv originally wanted to surrender to the queen and ask the queen to keep the child. But she did not inform the queen in advance, but chose to say it when greeting her. So she was dismissed by the queen.
Using the words of the emperor's first child after he ascended the throne as a warning, Song Yunv thought a little nervously that the queen seemed to be unsafe and she had to think of a way.
Princess Song's pregnancy attracted the attention of the whole palace. In the afternoon, the emperor also sent a reward. Although it was given according to the quota, there was nothing special about it. However, the precious concubine was still so angry that she couldn't breathe.
"She is lucky." The precious concubine drank the pear soup to calm down, and gently stroked her belly with her right hand. Her eyes turned red unconsciously. The steward who was serving her quickly stepped forward and advised: "Master, don't be sad.
As long as the master takes good care of her, she will definitely get pregnant." In fact, the precious concubine does not have a serious problem, it is just weak. When Qian Di gave birth to a miscarriage, the precious concubine was anxious, spoiled, and emotionally excited, so she failed to raise her well.
So I have never been pregnant again for so many years.
"Mommy, but I have taken good supplements according to the instructions of the imperial doctor and taken so many prescriptions, why is it still useless?" The precious concubine firmly grabbed the hand of the steward, tears already rolling in her eyes.
She didn't envy anyone who was favored in the palace, only the heir. She was obviously the most favored person in the palace, so why didn't she even show any signs of pregnancy? She regretted more than once her carelessness and trusting Zhao Jiarong.
That bitch harmed her own child. But that bitch actually gave birth to a prince safely. Every time she thought about it, she seemed to be filled with rage and wanted to peel off that bitch's skin.
Not only that, the precious concubine also felt that given the emperor's love for her, it was not a problem to give the ninth concubine the rank. In the end, only the noble concubine was given the rank, which was only one step away from the ninth concubine. At first, she was a little complaining.
Yes, but the emperor personally explained it to her, saying that her family background was not good and she could not be given too high a position all at once. The precious concubine believed it at first, but as time went by, she felt that in addition to her family background, she also
Because of the heir, even if she has a princess.
The precious concubine burst into tears, and the stewardess could not persuade her. The eldest palace maid Zhu'er, who was standing aside, moved her eyes slightly, walked to the center of the room and knelt down: "Master, please take care of yourself. I have a stupid idea, but I don't know."
Say it right or wrong."
The steward turned around. She had a bad premonition and wanted to stop Pearl from speaking. But it was too late. The precious concubine took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears. She looked at Pearl and said, "Speak first if you are stupid or not."
Listen, if you can relieve my worries, you will be greatly rewarded."
Zhu'er kowtowed: "I think the master can adopt Song Yunv's child."
The precious concubine frowned after hearing this. She had never thought about it. In order to improve the background of the princes and princesses, it was actually very common for high-ranking concubines in the palace to adopt the children of low-ranking concubines. If she had spoken, I think the emperor would have agreed.
.It’s just that what she has always wanted is her and the emperor’s own child. That is the fruit of their love. Other people’s children are nothing.
The precious concubine was a little hesitant. She had not been pregnant for many years, and watched new couples enter the palace year after year. Will the emperor still treat her the same as before? If she doesn't have a child, will she end up being pregnant in the end?
The end of old age, beauty, and loneliness.
Zhu'er saw her hesitation and understood that there was something wrong with this. If she could accomplish this, she could replace the nun in charge and become the most trusted person of the precious concubine. "Master, I heard that there is a saying among the people that if you have not been pregnant for a long time, you will be pregnant."
If a woman raises a child in front of her, the child will attract other children, and she will be pregnant soon." Zhu'er looked at the face of the precious concubine and continued: "Master, you can bring the child to adopt first.
Keep it in your own name. When you have your own child, you can also return Song Yunu's child."
This statement was full of loopholes. If the heirs in the palace allowed them to make random arrangements, wouldn't it be a mess? The stewardess immediately interrupted Pearl's words and scolded her severely: "Nonsense!" Then she turned to Xi Jinping.
The concubine said: "Master, this is not a small matter. You should still consider it. If the child is adopted, you will be the adoptive mother. The rules in the palace cannot be wrong. Even the emperor will not allow you to send the child back."
The precious concubine naturally knew that if she adopted her, she would keep her, but she had tried all the methods, praying to God and praying to the Buddha, taking tonics and home remedies, but to no avail. Pearl's words made her feel a little moved, what if, what if?
It will work this time. She pointed at Zhu'er and said, "Go and give Song Yunv some supplements and test her a few words. Don't say anything else for now."
Zhu'er took her life and left. Looking at the look on Mammy's hesitant expression, Precious Concubine said: "I understand everything Mammy said, and I've heard what Zhu'er said before. Besides, I'm not here.
If I can't afford to raise a child, just think of me as leaving a way out for myself."
"But Princess Song is the biological mother of the emperor's heir after all." The stewardess said with a hint of worry.
"Oh, let her raise the fetus first and then we can talk." The precious concubine returned to her usual appearance. She pretended to cough twice, but in her heart she was thinking about how to tell the emperor.
Gu Panfu is admiring flowers in the Imperial Garden. The sun is just right today and it is warm and pleasant. The flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming more prosperously, and each one is delicate and lovely.
Hanlu led people to set up refreshments in a pavilion not far away, and Hanrui came to reply: "Master, all the gifts have been sent, and it was the kidney beans in front of Princess Song who picked them up, saying that Princess Song was asleep.
Tell Lady Song immediately when she wakes up."
"It's okay, just be polite."
"Master, don't worry, you will definitely have an heir in the future." Hanrui said hesitantly, fearing that Princess Song's pregnancy would make his master anxious.
"Huh? Silly girl, how long have I been in the palace? Why are you so anxious?" Gu Panfu looked at Hanrui in a funny way, thinking of something, and gave some serious orders, "During this period, everyone who told us should be careful, you still have
Aunt Hanlu Ma must keep the door open and don't let anyone with bad intentions take advantage of it."
