Zhao Ziye, who had returned to Gaomi Palace, had no idea what his mother was saying behind his back.
Although with the help of Mrs. Qin, she quickly prepared Zhuangzi for the birth, as well as Wen Po, the doctor who had medicinal materials, etc., she had something in her heart that made her feel a little depressed throughout the pregnancy.
That situation caught Concubine Mo's attention. Although she didn't know why she was sad, she told the concubine with a sad face: "The princess has been depressed during that time, and he really doesn't know how to make her happy! "
"Why did she look so mean to me?" Concubine Mo immediately turned pale when she heard this, "I'll call her over then!"
Concubine Mo went to say: "Auntie, please don't misunderstand, it's nothing! Just no... just no..."
She hesitated for a while, then said cautiously, "Is it because he is thinking about it... Is it about the crown prince?"
Concubine Mo frowned and asked, "Your Majesty? What's wrong with Your Majesty? I came here not long ago to pay my respects. Didn't it seem like there was nothing wrong with me at that time?"
Rong Qing decided whether she was her direct grandson or her first grandson. Of course, the concubine was more affectionate than the concubine, but she felt a little pity for her biological grandson who had her own blood.
Now that I heard that, I felt a little worried.
"Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. The prince is in good health!" Concubine Mo noticed, her eyes flashed, and she said softly, "Just... the prince's homework... He heard in the house that my cousin has been neglected recently. This incident happened several times, and the prince was so frightened that he became more and more trembling in front of his cousin! He thought, could the princess be in a bad mood because of this incident? Otherwise, the princess would be pregnant. You should be happy!"
Concubine Mo sighed and said a little disappointedly: "Let's think about whether that prince's filial piety is very good! That point is, I don't know how much better than his mother-in-law! As for that Ziren... Well, is it really... very... Well, he, the Crown Prince, doesn’t want to take the No. 1 exam. It’s just that he’s not good at his homework. I just hope that he can be decent enough in the future after he gets his legs started. Otherwise, Jing’er will already be there. , the prince has no way to help him, not only makes him disappointed, but also the people of Didong look at him, they are in disgrace!"
"Aunt, he is thinking that too! Judging from the appearance of the princess, she seems to be wrong about the prince's future, but she is not very optimistic about it!" Concubine Mo lowered her head and said softly, "I wonder if the princess can do it?" Are you worrying too much? After all, the heir that cousin Ruming cares about the most is the heir. Although it is said that a child is better than a mother, there is also a saying that no one is perfect. Did the princess probably miss the mark that time? Is it unfounded? "
Concubine Mo listened, her brows furrowed more and more, and she murmured to herself: "Although Qingzui is filial, in the end he is not a grandson. I have so many grandchildren...even if he is not the eldest grandson, if not, he can't share Jing'er's worries." ... You must know whether Jing'er's success or failure is related to the safety of the Zhao family and me! If it really happens for a month, even if Jing'er can't open her mouth, I will have a good talk with the Zhao family for him. !”
Concubine Mo saw all the changes in her expression, and the corner of her mouth curled up silently: She had been thinking about becoming the concubine for a long, long time.
Even if Mrs. Mo had said those words, she couldn't tell but she thought she was just dreaming.
After all, not to mention that her background is incomparable to that of King Gaomi. After all, although the late emperor doted on Concubine Mo, his favorite was Concubine Rou. Therefore, Concubine Mo had a very comfortable life in the palace, but she was wronged by the family. Nothing to give back.
At that time, Concubine Rou was racking her brains to deal with Empress Dowager Meng and her son, and was working hard to establish Prince Guangling as heir. Concubine Mo also had a son, who was much older than Prince Guangling. At that time, she was pestering the late emperor to support her natal family. If Concubine Rou knew about it, how could she not suspect that she coveted the position of crown prince and deliberately cultivated the Mo family
Therefore, despite the birth of a beloved concubine, the Mo family is still a small family... No matter how favored the Mo family is in the family, there is a huge gap in status between her and the King of Gaomi.
What's more, the concubine Zhao Ziye not only came from a scholarly family, but her brothers were also the right-hand men of King Gaomi. The marriage was not granted by the late emperor himself despite his illness, and she had three or four children to rely on... Zhao Ziye himself was born in Chang'an. The famous lady from a well-known family was not old enough to discuss marriage, and many high-ranking families were watching. If the late emperor intervened, the matchmakers who proposed marriage to the Zhao family would be lined up from the gate of Zhao's house to outside the city. go.
With such a wrong leg, Concubine Mo could easily target the main concubine, or even the Queen Mother in the future. It must be said that the Shu sisters rose to the sky in one step, and gave many people who were from a low background, or even from a lowly background, but pride themselves on their beauty. Women, great inspiration.
Although Concubine Mo was not very beautiful, not to mention compared with the alluring Shu sisters, the concubine Zhao Ziye was also better than her.
Can...she is gentle!
She is a cousin and has the support of her aunt!
What did the Shu sisters have back then
Born into a poor family, the dancer in Princess Wuyang's mansion is so lowly that even if she marries a son of a good family, she would be surprising.
Not to mention any help.
Is it true that relying on Emperor Xuan Jing's favor and cruelty to rise to prominence, even Empress Dowager Meng had to swallow her anger in front of them? !
Therefore, Concubine Mo didn't pay attention to Zhao Ziye at all. She believed it and begged herself to continue working hard to go east. The King of Gaomi did not belong to her, the title did not belong to her biological son, and the future of King Gaomi did not belong to their mother and son!
As for Zhao Ziye, he deserves to be the stepping stone for her and her children!
Oh, will Zhao Ziye's children be a stepping stone
... Concubine Mo, who had such thoughts, would be ecstatic and as if she had found a treasure after accidentally knowing the true birth date of the third son of the royal family.
She finally suppressed the urge to go to the palace to report to the concubine. She told herself over and over again that, despite the mere rumors, Zhao Ziye's background meant that she could not be killed with one strike. She could not be shaken at all!
After all, did the princess spend her confinement in the back house relying on the favor of King Gaomi
"How is Prince Qingzui doing lately?" After thinking deeply, Concubine Mo called her confidants to her and asked.
After knowing that Rong Qingzui had been as tired of studying as usual recently, she raised her eyebrows and ordered someone to take Rong Qingzui out to cause trouble. I beg you to be tight, in short, please let the princess go through all the troubles, so much so that in recent months she has been unable to spare any time to care about the house... Is Minghong red? "
After taking advantage of the nearly accumulated relationship she had with Rong Qingzui over the years and scheming him to get into a dispute to trap Zhao Ziye, Concubine Mo stepped up her efforts to get close to King Gaomi.
In front of Zhao Ziye, King Gaomi behaved very coldly towards his concubine.
In that case, first of all, it was because the King of Gaomi was really a little tired of Concubine Mo. After all, Concubine Mo came into the palace to be his concubine. It was not the normal way, but through Concubine Mo, while he was going to Xinshou Palace. When the palace asked him to pay his respects, after adding some medicine to the tea and cooking the raw rice, Concubine Mo came forward to force him to take responsibility for his status. Only then did he get his wish.
Although King Gaomi had some affection for his cousin because of Concubine Mo, this was just a blood relationship between relatives, and he never thought about the relationship between men and women... Is Concubine Mo considered a slight among ordinary people? Beauty, can it be placed in the royal family, which has no shortage of beauties? It is really ordinary.
Although Concubine Mo was always gentle and agreeable in front of him, how many of King Gaomi, as the beloved concubine of the late emperor and the current powerful officials, were not gentle and agreeable in front of him
As for the royal concubine Zhao Ziye, the legitimate daughter of a family that has been married for generations, so many aristocratic children in Chang'an dreamed of having someone else in their heart, so how could it be bad if she wronged him
So King Gaomi had no intention of sleeping with Concubine Mo, but he was forced to sleep with Concubine Mo by his biological mother and Concubine Mo. Even though he acquiesced to the matter out of filial piety and the concession of his concubine Zhao Ziye, how could he not feel any resentment in his heart
If he didn't hate his mother, he could blame Concubine Mo for everything.
Secondly, of course it should be done for Zhao Ziye to see.
After all, King Gaomi was not confused. He knew that before the death of the late emperor, he had not allowed the Zhao family to agree to the marriage. He had almost summoned the Zhao family father and son to the sickbed and begged with tears in his eyes... Only when the emperor went to that point did he allow the Zhao family to agree to the marriage. The Zhao family had nothing to say, so they agreed to marry their only legitimate daughter.
If the late emperor did that, in the final analysis, it would pave the way for him.
How could he bear to offend the Yue family that the late emperor had finally won for him over a trivial matter, and ruin a major event
So since Zhao Ziye came in, King Gaomi has been following her in almost everything, at least whether it's a situation or not.
Even though Concubine Mo was not cruel to him, she had forced it on him. After all, she had been in the palace for a few years and had been serving him and raising children. Concubine Mo was very good at finding every opportunity to give birth to her niece in front of him. Say good things... After a long time, Gaomi Wangcuo's resentment towards his cousin gradually disappeared. Seeing her serving him diligently for several years, his attitude softened somewhat in the absence of Zhao Ziye.
Concubine Mo took advantage of that softening and went in and out of his study from time to time, wearing red sleeves to add fragrance.
Zhao Ziye seldom had such time because he was busy hosting. Moreover, she is not everyone's legitimate daughter. She is reserved, but she cannot do that kind of thing that is almost groveling to please.
Ruming Zhao Ziye was busy talking about the matter of Rong Qingzui. When he heard that the concubine went to the study to see King Gaomi again, he didn't take it to heart: "If she goes away, just let her go! Anyway, she doesn't have to serve the prince." , and there are others serving the prince."
"You can't change the habit of being a low-key person like that." Aunt Zhao said, "You are already a concubine. In front of the concubine and the prince, you look like a lowly slave!" I don’t know how the Mo family, who are considered country squires after all, could raise a daughter like that, who doesn’t have the slightest bearing that a concubine should have!”
He added, "If I take that time to approach the prince, I don't know how many bad things will be said about our prince!"
Speaking of her son, Princess Gaomi's face was gloomy: "Please don't live up to his expectations. Mr. Mo dares to talk nonsense, how can he spare her?! In the final analysis, it's not good for him to be drunk... He really doesn't know if he can pass it on." Who did he kill? He was not a person who entered school, why was he so disobedient! He was told not to do anything, but he did what he had to do! Even if he refused to listen, he would only be beaten for a few days... Sigh... "
"The prince is very young after all!" Aunt Zhao comforted her, "When you grow up in two years, you will naturally appreciate your hard work!"
As the master and servant talked, they changed the subject... Even a few months later, they heard that King Gaomi suddenly fell ill. Zhao Ziye asked and found out if it was an ordinary cold, so he didn't take it to heart and went to see it in person. Once, I saw Concubine Mo waiting at the bedside attentively, greeting her with greetings and showing concern... Whether she was too lazy to look at Concubine Mo's little tenderness, or caring about teaching Rong Qingzui a lesson, she didn't go there again.
Neither she nor Aunt Zhao knew what kind of storms and storms Zedong Lai would cause due to her negligence at that time.
So when Zhao Ziye received the summons from Concubine Mo, he was confused and said to Aunt Zhao with a frown: "His mother-in-law will not call him if she is fine. If she is summoned suddenly, there is a high probability that something will happen!" Judging from what happened in the house recently, Qiu Mobu reprimanded him for not taking good care of Gao Mi!"
Aunt Zhao comforted her and said, "If she asks you to talk casually, please bear with her. After all, she is not your mother-in-law, she is not an elder, she is not a concubine. What she asked for is too much. Let's come back and tell the prince. The prince will definitely do it." Give us an explanation! Prince Ruming is in very bad shape, and the concubine must feel sorry for her! I will definitely not dare to say anything by then!"
