"You bastard!" As soon as Shu Zhaoyi finished speaking, Empress Dowager Meng grabbed a whisk and threw it at it. She shouted with a livid face, "You dare to be so unruly in front of the Ai family. It's going to make you dizzy! Everyone on the left and right is stunned. What are you doing? Why don't you drag this bitch out quickly and teach her how a palace concubine should behave?!"
Queen Meng next to her didn't even look at Shu Zhaoyi. She only held the Queen Mother's arm and whispered: "Auntie, please stop being angry. It's not worth it to hurt yourself over such a thing."
The queen was a little surprised, because Shu Zhaoyi was not a fool. It was impossible not to know that since the death of the imperial concubine, Peng Baolin and other concubines were vying for favor. Although she still ranked first in the favor of Emperor Xuanjing, compared with the previous favors for special rooms, the queen was a little surprised. After all, it is different.
Although Emperor Xuan Jing was between her and the Queen Mother, he could not say that he still protected her, but today was different from the past. After the suppression of the "substitute" rumors, and the emperor's style of forgetting his troubles during this period, it can be said that this emperor The prestige has dropped to an unprecedented level.
At this moment, the overall situation of Shanglinyuan is in Meng Guiyu's hands. To Meng Guiyu, the Queen Mother is much more useful than the Emperor... Compared to the Queen Mother who is willing to cooperate with him in everything, Emperor Xuanjing just needs to live.
As for how to live, how many people in the deep palace... really saw Emperor Xuan Jing's life
If Emperor Xuan Jing disobeys the Queen Mother again because of his beloved concubine, it's hard to say whether his oral instructions will be effective.
So in the past, Shu Zhaoyi relied on her favor and didn't take the Queen Mother seriously, so that's all!
At this moment, he is still brazenly quarreling with the mother of the emperor. Isn't this a bad idea
The Queen was thinking this, and sure enough, Shu Zhaoyi shook off the palace maid who tried to catch her, and said in a loud voice: "The Queen Mother, it is indeed rude for me to barge in front of you without permission! However, this is also because I am eager to announce the good news to you. As for the misconduct in words and deeds! I ask the Queen Mother, for the sake of the emperor’s heir, to tolerate this concubine!”
In the days before, Empress Dowager Meng was often angry with the Shu sisters, and she could be said to be extremely disgusted with these two sisters.
Now that he finally had a chance to take revenge, he had already made up his mind. Even if Shu Zhaoyi carried Emperor Xuan Jing out again, he would have to teach this cheap servant a lesson!
Just as he was about to speak, he was stunned when he heard the word "Emperor's heir"!
Empress Meng, who was holding her arm, suddenly changed her face and blurted out: "Emperor?! Don't say you are pregnant?!"
Shu Zhaoyi gave him a provocative look and said with a half-smile: "I haven't had my period for the past two days, so I don't want to eat or drink. I just feel sad and tired after my sister passed away! Who knew that I hired someone to nurse your Majesty's health?" The imperial doctor has seen it and said... she is nearly two months pregnant!"
"..." These words caused the entire palace to be silent for a moment. After a while, Queen Mother Meng asked in confusion, "Is it true?!"
Shu Zhaoyi smiled and said: "The Queen Mother, such a big thing... How dare I lie to you?"
Turning to Queen Meng again, "The reason why I have to rush in in such a hurry is not only to tell the Queen Mother the good news, but also mainly because I heard that the Queen Mother has just given birth to a child from God knows what origin. What do you mean by the children of King Guangling and Concubine Meng, whom they plan to raise under their knees? It’s not that I’m careless, it’s just that the parents, King Guangling and Concubine Meng, are no longer alive. How could an infant child actually be born? Are you living well? I'm afraid there's some fraud involved, right?"
"Even if it wasn't... His Majesty's knees were empty before, that's all!"
"Now that I am pregnant, the queen is lonely in the palace. She wants to adopt a child, adopt a girl, and make her a princess or something like that. I am not a stingy person and will not care about it. What! How can this male heir be raised in front of the middle palace?"
Her eyes flashed, she looked at Queen Mother Meng again, and said sweetly, "Queen Mother, do you think this is true?"
If this was any other matter, Queen Mother Meng would definitely not help her niece.
But this time involving her own flesh and blood, the Queen Mother's expression changed, but she remained silent for a while.
"The reason why I will adopt a male heir is because Your Majesty has no children!" Queen Meng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If Zhaoyi can give birth to an heir for Your Majesty, of course it would be the best thing! Of course, the children in front of me come from where they are and go there!”
"But, isn't Zhaoyi too arrogant?"
"Not to mention that His Majesty has nothing to do, and how important the emperor's heir is to the royal family and the country, let's talk about Zhaoyi's age. It is not easy to be happy. How can he come to his aunt in person when he should immediately go to bed to recuperate? !”
"What if we stumble and bump into each other, and there are three shortcomings... Can Zhaoyi afford the responsibility?!"
While Queen Meng reprimanded Shu Zhaoyi, she quickly thought in her mind: "Although my aunt is not very smart, she has been coaxed and persuaded by Meng over the years, and she considers everything from Meng's perspective. However, she thinks about her grandchildren. Regret comes from the bottom of my heart! When things went wrong with the two previous emperors, Xuan Jing was still young. His aunt was instigated by the Meng family, thinking that Xuan Jing was the emperor and had seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, so he lost the two emperors. , don’t be afraid that there will be no successors!”
"But at this moment, no one expects Xuan Jing to have any biological children. My aunt even agreed to let Sister Eleven and Prince Guangling's children be adopted and raised by me so that they can inherit the throne. The royal heir who came out at this time , regardless of whether he is a boy or a girl, my aunt must pay attention to it!"
"Now that my aunt is silent, she must be thinking, if Shu Zhaoyi gives birth to a boy, how can we ensure the child's future?"
When the Queen thought of this, her eyes darkened, "If it's an irrelevant child, even the boy in the side hall where I live now who is the son of the Eleventh Sister and Prince Guangling, if it is not a last resort, I will I don’t want to do anything cruel either.”
"But Shu Zhaoyi's child..."
Queen Meng hoped from the bottom of her heart that the child would not die well.
Better not to come into this world at all!
The reason is very simple. Since the queen came to Wangchun Palace, the Shu sisters have been humiliated and tortured many times. Especially in the past two years at Chunbo Lake, they almost killed the queen. The queen has been accumulating these grudges in her heart. What do you think of the children of the Shu sisters
Especially once Shu Zhaoyi gave birth to a male heir and was really promoted to the throne, and Shu Zhaoyi had another mother who was more precious than her son... Empress Meng would just think about it! ! !
Even if Empress Dowager Meng was happy with Shu Zhaoyi leaving the mother and keeping the child, and handing the child over to Empress Meng to raise, the Empress still felt happy that the child had been killed.
Well, she hates the Shu sisters so much!
"The Queen is worried too much. As for me, the reason why I came to Chengluan Palace in person to tell the Queen Mother the good news is, firstly, because I have never been a mother before. In many things, I can't understand the Queen Mother's mood. Now, although the child I haven't landed yet, but I feel the same way, and I came here to apologize to the Queen Mother!" Shu Zhaoyi glanced at the queen who was old enough to be her daughter, and said with a smile, "Secondly, the imperial doctor said that my body and fetal image are stable. Now is the time to take more walks, which is good for the child... After all, I and my sister have served Your Majesty for many years, but they have never been able to give Your Majesty a son and a half daughters. Over the years, the guilt in my heart and the hope for an heir, This is not what someone like the Queen, who has only been out of the cabinet for a few days, can understand!"
Queen Meng said calmly: "So you can already understand my aunt's mood? I saw your arrogance when you came all the way in, and I thought you came here specifically to cause trouble."
Shu Zhaoyi said: "Queen, don't talk nonsense, I am eager to announce the good news!"
He added, "Originally, I didn't need to be so anxious. However, after I just heard about the Queen Mother's adoption of an heir, I was worried that the Queen Mother would do something she shouldn't do for the sake of her own status, so I forced myself to visit the Queen Mother. Empress... Empress Dowager, I am doing this all for the sake of your grandson!"
"...Since you are pregnant, don't stand and talk." Queen Mother Meng's eyes flickered until this moment, then she slowly said, "Sit down first!"
After Shu Zhaoyi thanked her and sat down, the Queen Mother organized her words and then asked, "You... you sisters have been silent for so many years. This time there is a sudden joy. The Ai family really feels a little... don't know what to do?"
"The Queen Mother, you think it's because of fate?" Shu Zhaoyi heard the Queen Mother's doubts about her pregnancy and said quickly, "Didn't the Kangzhao County Lord's natal mother, Mrs. Feng from Nanfeng County, give birth to the Kangzhao County Lord? There has been no movement for more than ten years. In the end, her husband Sheng Lanci of Nanfeng Sanren felt that he did not have the blessing of a biological son, so he accepted Mi Zhen County Prince as his heir. Unexpectedly, Mi Zhen County Prince came into the family only three or two years ago. Mrs. Feng is pregnant, and she still has a boy at one stroke?"
"I think about it, my situation is very similar to that of Mrs. Feng."
"Furthermore, the rebellion caused by the rebel king Rong Jing caused the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to stay here in Shanglin Garden for many days and are not allowed to return to the imperial city!"
"I heard that King Rong Jing was suddenly poisoned two days ago, so Chongxin Hou took the opportunity to attack the city. The battle went very smoothly!"
"It can be seen that the clouds were gathering in the past, but now it is finally time to clear the clouds and see the light of day. Not only did King Rong Jing suffer a complete defeat, but His Majesty is also happy to have his own flesh and blood. God bless the royal family, God bless Your Majesty, and God wills that the Queen Mother will have a biological grandson to serve as her daughter-in-law!"
Queen Mother Meng looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "Of course the Ai family hopes so."
After a moment of silence, he said, "But the matter is serious, Chi Zuosi, please call over the imperial doctor who has been taking pulses from the Ai family these days, and let Zhaoyi take a look!"
After a while, the imperial physician stationed at Chengluan Palace came into the palace to salute.
This imperial doctor has been serving Empress Dowager Meng in recent years. Meng's guarantee is that he will never help Shu Zhaoyi cheat.
He felt Shu Zhaoyi's pulse for a moment, then nodded slightly to the Empress Dowager Meng who was looking up at her, and said, "Empress, from what I can see, Empress Zhaoyi indeed has a happy pulse!"
Empress Meng subconsciously grasped the veil, but with a surprise smile on her face, she said to Empress Dowager Meng: "Auntie, this is really a double happiness!"
"You are a twin now, don't be as careless as before!" Empress Dowager Meng nodded to the empress, and looked at Shu Zhaoyi kindly, "The Ai family already knows about this happy event. In this way, you Just go back and have a good baby, everything else will be taken care of by the Aijia!"
The Queen Mother coaxed Shu Zhaoyi away with her kind words. Queen Meng was about to hold back her disgust and resentment and say a few words of congratulations when she turned around and saw that the aunt's face instantly darkened. She ordered everyone around to leave, leaving only Chi Zuo. When Si was talking to Queen Meng, he said, "You say that the child Shu is carrying is really the emperor's heir?!"
Chi Zuosi and Queen Meng were both shocked when they heard this. The queen wanted to say that Shu Zhaoyi stole someone, but because her grudges with Shu Zhaoyi were kept in the open, it was hard to be too straightforward at the moment. Seeing Chi Due to the difference in status, Zuo Si did not dare to answer first, so he said hypocritically: "Auntie, I haven't come with you before. We have not met again for a long time. I haven't visited His Majesty's place... You said this, I... I Thinking about the people around His Majesty, they wouldn’t be so bold as to let such a thing go, right?!”
Chi Zuosi then said: "Your Majesty, Zhaoyi has a distinguished status, and a large number of palace people follow her when she goes out. And counting the days, when she was pregnant, it should have been when she came to Shanglinyuan? At that time, the situation was still Not messing around?"
"Although Mrs. Shu just cited the example of Mrs. Feng of the Sheng family, Mrs. Feng gave birth to the head of Kangzhao County three years ago after entering the Sheng family, which proves that she is not infertile, but it is just more difficult to have heirs." Empress Dowager Meng said with a gloomy face. , "But the Shu sisters, since they entered the palace when they were young, have been favoring special houses for all these years... they have never even had a miscarriage! They were young and young at that time, and they couldn't hear anything, not to mention that they are old and yellow now?! The Ai family has always felt that they cannot have children at all! Now even if God gives Qilin'er, if it were other people who have been serving the emperor recently, Peng Baolin, the Ai family would believe it."
"Only this Shu family... why does the Ai family feel something is wrong?"
Empress Meng said cautiously: "But just now the imperial doctor took her pulse in front of us and said it was indeed a happy pulse?"
This seems to indicate that Shu Zhaoyi cannot give birth
