Bozhu saw it and laughed sarcastically: "Why are you so cautious? Are you treating the Queen Mother as a scourge?"
Qiuzhi paused and lied awkwardly: "Your Majesty, the Lord, misunderstood. I, I am just worried."
Bozhu obviously didn't believe her.
But he didn't say anything. He looked at Sang Yan and said, "Miss Sang, let's go. Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting."
Sang Yan followed.
Accompanying him were the eunuch Xiao Guizi, and several lower-level maids and eunuchs.
Qiuzhi stayed behind and went to find the emperor as soon as they left.
Yongshou Hall
Sang Yan stepped in again, her mentality was different.
Last time I was scared, this time I was calm.
Maybe it was the emperor's love that gave her the confidence?
The hall is filled with Buddhist incense.
The Queen Mother sat at the head of the throne, eyes slightly closed, twirling Buddhist beads, looking peaceful.
"My daughter has met the Queen Mother."
Sang Yan bowed and saluted.
The Queen Mother heard the sound and opened her eyes with a kind smile: "You are here. Bozhu, please give me a seat."
Bozhu asked someone to move the chair over.
Sang Yan thanked her, sat down, and waited quietly for her to speak.
The Queen Mother was also silent for a long time before speaking out: "You have changed a lot compared to before."
I used to be a bit petty, but now I am much more calm and dignified.
Sang Yan felt that the words were complimenting her, but she seemed a little dissatisfied, so she didn't answer, but asked: "I wonder why the Queen Mother summoned her ministers?"
When the Queen Mother saw her asking, she didn't mince words and told the truth: "The Ai family has sent people to try the strategy you proposed. One out of ten times it is feasible."
Sang Yan was dumbfounded - she had almost forgotten this. One in ten, the chance is so high?
While thinking about it, the Queen Mother continued: "What is your identity, what is your fate, and how you are related to the Emperor? The Ai family can leave it alone. The only thing about the Emperor's heir is that we must not be careless."
Sang Yan listened and vaguely guessed the Queen Mother's plan - she wouldn't let her persuade the emperor to use that method to obtain an heir, right?
Day, this time I really shot myself in the foot!
Will He Ying be mad at himself?
What are you afraid of, what will come.
The Queen Mother said: "You are very smart and should know what the Ai family means. The Ai family will give you three days to persuade the emperor to adopt a method to continue the emperor's heir."
Sang Yan felt threatened.
But she can't fight head-on.
Feeling frustrated——
A word came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived."
A stone suddenly fell to Sang Yan's heart - to untie the bell, one must tie the bell.
She really doesn't know how to handle this kind of relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"I have come to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
He Ying walked in hurriedly, glanced at Sang Yan first to make sure she was fine, and then spoke to the Queen Mother in a rude tone.
It's me, not my son.
See the difference between superior and inferior.
How could the Queen Mother not know the tough attitude in the Emperor's words?
She didn't care, and her tone was as gentle as water: "Don't be so angry, or you might scare your sweetheart. Okay, I'm done with what Ai Jia has said, you can take your sweetheart and go back."
She let him go easily, but when Sang Yan turned around, she said: "Sang Yan, remember the words of the Ai family, don't let the Ai family down."
Sang Yan instantly felt a heavy pressure on her heart.
She turned around and bowed her head to the Queen Mother, then followed the emperor back.
The Queen Mother watched the two figures disappear, closed her eyes again, and twisted the Buddhist beads.
Bo Zhu whispered from the side: "Will she do it? The harem is so jealous because she left so many concubines, how could she let others become pregnant with the emperor's heir?"
"Let's see."
The Queen Mother's voice gradually became murderous: "She is a smart girl. If she cannot persuade the emperor to continue his heirs, it will be an obstacle. The Ai family will never leave anyone who is an obstacle."
The emperor is infatuated.
There is a strong intention to abandon the harem for her.
This is a royal taboo.
If she involves the emperor's heir again, she will be a sinner in the world.
Can't stay.
*
As soon as He Ying left the Yongshou Hall, he asked: "What did the Queen Mother tell you?"
Sang Yan felt this was embarrassing, so she said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. There are many people here."
He Ying agreed.
They got on the chariot and returned to the side hall of Qingning Hall.
As soon as he entered the side hall, He Ying waved his hand to let him go.
The palace became quiet.
Sang Yan was very embarrassed, but she also considered her words and said: "I...didn't I tell the Queen Mother an idea before? The Queen Mother asked someone to try it. It seemed to be effective. Let me persuade the Emperor to adopt that idea to extend the succession of the Emperor's heirs.
.”
He Ying was stunned for a while before he realized what she was talking about.
Awkward.
He was really embarrassed, and there was a bit of resentment in his tone: "I let you come up with random ideas. Tell me, what should I do now?"
Sang Yan couldn't tell.
That method is equivalent to surrogacy/pregnancy.
Surrogacy/pregnancy is against ethics and morals.
Although this is ancient times and many things have no ethics or morals, it is disgusting enough to let the man you love have children with other women, even though they have not had a relationship.
It's not that she can't give birth, she just doesn't want to give birth.
But he is the emperor.
There is indeed a legacy to inherit.
And up to now, there is still no heir to the throne.
The previous dynasties and harems were all promoting births. If it wasn't for the hope that the He Dynasty could prosper, who would keep an eye on the emperor's bedding affairs?
what to do?
Was she being selfish by refusing?
Alas, it turns out that when it comes to falling in love, there are a lot of troubles.
"Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore."
He Ying saw her frowning and unhappy, and felt distressed, so he said: "I will handle this matter. Don't think too much about it."
When Sang Yan heard this, he asked: "How will the emperor deal with it?"
He Ying said in a casual tone: "Don't she want an heir? I'll just give it to her."
Sang Yan was surprised: "The emperor agreed?"
She disagrees!
She couldn't let another woman give birth to his child.
She unknowingly became possessive of him.
"no!"
She got excited and said, "I don't agree with you having a baby with someone else."
He Ying didn't want anyone else to give birth to an heir. Not to mention the humiliation of the method, the heir obtained by that method might not be his. He didn't want to create a bunch of messy children, and besides, he would have children.
, the crystallization of love with her.
He didn't say this, because he didn't want to, and she disagreed first.
It turns out that she is also possessive of him.
In order to get her to reveal his feelings, he pretended not to understand: "Why don't you agree?"
Sang Yan became mute.
Yes, why don't you agree?
Isn't it good for someone to give birth to her child?
That was obviously her idea too!
"It's just...it just doesn't work."
She was confused and even more sour and jealous: "If the emperor has children with other women, then live a good life with other women. In the future, my wife and children will be on the bed, and they will be very happy. Please forgive me, but I can't participate in it anymore."
.”
After saying that, he drove people away: "Your Majesty, go and have a baby now. I'm going to pack up my gifts and go back to Zhuangzi."
Seeing that he had made people anxious, He Ying hurriedly apologized: "I was wrong. You misunderstood. I don't have an heir with anyone else. I only have an heir with you. I just said I would give her an heir, and that's what I meant. I will."
Waiting for you, waiting for you to be willing to give birth to an heir for me."
