Queen Meng, who had just picked up the toothbrush, quickly stopped and said to the Queen Mother: "Auntie, let's wait for Zhaoyi's situation first?"
The Queen Mother was dissatisfied: "What's the point of waiting? The doctor and palace officials will naturally take care of her! The Ai family has already said that we will wait here for the news. You can just eat! Don't be hungry! Don't forget that you are my elder." Mu Zhengzheng’s empress is just a concubine. Not to mention that she is just feeling unwell during pregnancy. Even if she is really about to give birth, isn’t it worth your inconvenience?”
Queen Meng said to herself that I don't care about the life and death of Shu Zhaoyi's mother and her son. Isn't it just to make you think that I value Xuan Jing's bloodline
She pretended for a while, but seeing that the Queen Mother was resolute, she had no choice but to continue eating.
However, because there was something on my mind, and the road from Wangchun Palace to Leyi Palace was not close, even if the palace people did not dare to delay, there was still a tin slave in the food box, and the dishes were almost cold when they were placed here.
Therefore, the Queen had no appetite, but after a few moves with the chopsticks, she put it down, asked people to leave, made tea, picked a topic from her childhood, and chatted with the Queen Mother.
After a while, the imperial doctor who had diagnosed Shu Zhaoyi came over and reported that Shu Zhaoyi was fine, but that she was old and had her first child, so it was inevitable that she would have a lot of discomfort.
"This bastard!" Empress Dowager Meng behaved quite decently when she was in Leyi Palace. After listening to the doctor's words, she ordered the rewards and told the palace attendants to serve Shu Zhaoyi well. After that, she and the empress boarded the chariot to return to Xinshou Palace. He darkened his face and cursed bitterly, "I know that at such an old age, if I had given birth early, I would be a grandmother by now, but I still want to dominate the emperor's son! Ruoguo should have called me younger earlier." How come the emperor’s knees are so empty when the concubines are here to serve him?!”
"It's okay now. She's pregnant with her first child at such an old age. She's not even a hundred days old yet. How will she spend the next seven months?"
"If she can't hold on any longer, forget it and die. It won't harm the blood of the Ai family!"
Queen Meng comforted her softly: "Auntie, don't be angry. When we were in Shanglin Garden, Peng Baolin, ah, she seems to have been promoted to Peng Concubine, right? There are several other concubines. Aren't they all taking turns serving His Majesty now? ? Now that Shu Zhaoyi is pregnant, she has been concentrating on the pregnancy all day long. Your Majesty has been taking care of those people! Those people are much younger than Shu Zhaoyi. It is impossible to say that it will be three to five years. The aunt's knees are so tight that they are all day long. I have to worry about being given a headache by the emperor’s grandsons!”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother burst into laughter and said, "It would be great if this were true!"
After saying this, he thought thoughtfully and said, "Bijun, the emperor has been summoning Peng and others these past two days? Haven't you seen Shu's bastard?"
"According to the information I heard, it is like this." Queen Meng didn't know what the queen mother meant by asking this, so she said cautiously, "I don't have any other meaning. I just think that Shu Zhaoyi will be happy at this age, so I can't ignore it! She She was always uneasy before, so she asked people to keep an eye on her so as not to make a fuss. She can just pay for whatever she has suffered, so as not to drag down His Majesty's flesh and blood!"
"You kid!" The Queen Mother noticed her caution and couldn't help but said lightly, "Why are you still so cautious with the Ai family? Not to mention that as the middle palace, it is your duty to pay attention to the concubines! Just say Shu Shi, this wretched maid, let alone you, the Ai family can't rest assured either! You are sending people to keep an eye on her, but you are just sharing the worries of the Ai family! Are you afraid that the Ai family will blame you if they ask?"
When the Queen Mother said this, she pondered for a moment and suddenly asked quietly, "Bijun, what do you think?"
"Myself?" Queen Meng didn't realize what the Queen Mother meant for a moment. She was surprised and said casually, "Did Auntie talk about Shu Zhaoyi's pregnancy? I have said this a long time ago, and I listen to Auntie! "
Although she didn't want to raise the flesh and blood of the Shu sisters at all, she didn't want to create any rift with Queen Mother Meng... Besides, with Meng Guiyu around, Shu Zhaoyi would basically not be able to give birth to her child!
Why are you so anxious to contradict the Queen Mother now
While he was thinking about it, he was slapped on the back of his hand by the Queen Mother. He looked up in shock and saw the Queen Mother giving her a look of hatred: "Bijun, you are really a fan of the authorities! You only think about the concubines of the Peng family that the Ai family cannot remember. To serve the emperor, the Shu family's maid has not been around the emperor these days, and the emperor has not made any trouble... It can be seen that the emperor has finally come out of the foxy charm of the two sisters!"
"So, Mrs. Peng and the others know to seize the opportunity to conceive the emperor's heir so that they can have someone to rely on in the future!"
"As a dignified palace...don't you want to have a legitimate son?!"
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Queen Meng almost couldn't help but curse. She just wanted to comfort the Queen Mother. How could it arouse such associations in the Queen Mother? !
Taking a deep breath, the queen forced a smile and said, "Auntie, how can I be so lucky?"
"Why don't you have such a blessing?" Empress Dowager Meng was displeased and said, "In terms of age, not to mention the age of a grandmother like Shu's humble maid, even the Peng family, who is younger than you?!"
This is a fact. After Emperor Xuanjing had the Shu sisters earlier, he also recruited some people one after another.
At first, some people had the idea of imitating the Shu sisters and offering beauties.
Later, it was discovered that the status of the Shu sisters was unshakable at all. Not only would they not get much favor if they were sent to the palace, but if they were not good enough, they would be suppressed and angered by the Shu sisters. Little Wen of the Wen family is a ready example, the one who gave birth to a prince! It was even reduced to the point where the little prince was strangled, himself was dealt with, and the family was exiled.
If you want to send people to the palace again under such circumstances, you would be really stupid.
In addition, the Shu sisters have gradually lost their timidity and inferiority complex due to their poor family origins, and have begun to indulge in pampering. The sisters have joined forces to keep Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes firmly on them, and will not let Emperor Xuan Jing have any chance to steal any more words. In the past ten years, But there was no one else in the palace.
So the youngest concubine, now nearly thirty years old, can't compare to Queen Meng, who is only twenty-nine years old and in her prime
The Queen Mother therefore advised her, "It is a good time for you to have children now. Previously, the Ai family thought that at the age of the Emperor, there was no hope of having any heirs. Moreover, the Shu sisters were so arrogant at the time that they were afraid that you would consummate your marriage with the Emperor." , will harm you! The prince has never set foot in Wangchun Palace since his wedding, so the Ai family has no care!"
"Shu's maid is pregnant now, how can you make her look more beautiful than before?!"
"Not to mention that even if we remove her mother and keep her children in the future, the flesh of other people will not be able to be used on our body!"
"Besides, Bijun, you entered the palace at a young age and have been wronged a lot in the past two years!"
"If I can have a biological son now, I won't be lonely in the future, right?"
Queen Meng's mouth twitched when she heard this. If she had not had a relationship with Gongsun Xi before, she might have hesitated if it had hindered the situation.
But after having an affair with Gongsun Xi, they all agreed to trick Meng Guiyu and his gang, and when Rong Suihe came to power, he and Gongsun Xi would stay and fly together. How could he want to give birth to a child for Emperor Xuan Jing?
This emperor said he was her cousin, but he was actually thirty years older than her. He was enough to be her grandfather these days!
There is no comparison with the young and delicate Gongsun Xi who is also highly skilled in martial arts!
Let the queen go to bed with him, the queen would rather hang herself!
It's just that Empress Dowager Meng wholeheartedly thinks about her niece. Despite the empress's various tactful refusals, the Empress Dowager feels that her niece is still a virgin. This is because she is shy, or she is afraid that the greater her hopes, the greater her disappointment. Even if she served Emperor Xuan Jing, she could not get pregnant. superior.
She encouraged her kindly: "You have already married the emperor, so why are you embarrassed? As for the result, if you are not together, you will never have the emperor's legitimate son in this life! Now that you are together, there is a possibility that he will not be?" The Aijia is not saying that you have to give birth to an heir. What are you afraid of? It is about your dependence for the rest of your life, how can you back down now? The Aijia are saying this from the bottom of their hearts, for your own good! "
To give my own example, "If the Ai family hadn't given birth to the emperor's son, where would the Xinshou Palace have been for the Ai family to live in?"
Empress Meng couldn't help but fake a smile: "Aunt, your Majesty and I have been married for a long time, but your Majesty has never looked at me... Now that I'm getting close to you, I've made your Majesty unhappy, but why bother?" ?”
"You silly boy, is this the time to stop moving forward in a life-long matter?" Empress Dowager Meng sighed and taught earnestly, "The prince is so drunk all day long, how can he clearly see the people who are serving him? What's more, the reason why the emperor didn't go to the Spring Palace in the past was ultimately the fault of the Shu family's cheap maid? Now that Concubine Shu is dead, Shu Zhaoyi is also doomed! Without the two of them to charm the emperor and sow discord, how can the emperor possibly do it? do not like you?"
"In terms of youth and beauty, Peng's screwball guy is not even worthy of carrying your shoes!"
"When it comes to status, they are even further behind you!"
"They can serve the emperor every day, why are you so timid?"
He added, "The emperor's fortune is booming at the moment! Even a despicable maid from the Shu family, who has done many evil things, can still be pregnant with Liujia, let alone you, Bijun?"
She said that it would be too suspicious if Queen Meng refused again, so she could only endure the feeling of vomiting blood and delay: "After all, Shu Zhaoyi is pregnant, and now His Majesty has no heirs. Any emperor will, They all need to be taken care of carefully! I'd better wait until Shu Zhaoyi has reached 100 days and the fetal image is stable before considering anything else, right?"
"This kind of thing should happen sooner rather than later!" From her own point of view, the Queen Mother really thought about her. After hearing this, she said, "If the emperor had no other bloodline, the heirs born of the Shu family's humble maid would be counted in front of the Ai family. What is she? So don't worry about her. Anyway, she entered the palace ten or twenty years earlier than you. She knows much better than you how to live in this palace! You'd better pay attention first. Take care of your own future!"
The Queen Mother was so enthusiastic. When Queen Meng finally returned to Wangchun Palace, she was so exhausted that she asked someone to make ginseng tea and take a big sip. She also asked Suiyin and Luixin to rub their shoulders and legs. After a while, she said : "Because of Shu Zhaoyi's pregnancy, my aunt feels that Zhaoyi can be happy at such an old age. If I were to serve His Majesty, I might be able to give birth to a legitimate grandson for her!"
Luyin and Luixin were both shocked when they heard this. After Dong Liang set up the Queen and Gongsun Xi, in order to appease Gongsun Xi, he promised not to let Queen Meng be taken advantage of when she returned to the royal family. They were the executors of this promise.
During these days of accompanying Queen Meng to reunite with her relatives, Emperor Xuanjing and Queen Meng seemed to be strangers to each other. They had always lived their own lives, and no one could think of the other. They had almost forgotten about this errand.
When I heard these words, I felt a cold sweat break out on my back. After calming myself down, I asked in a deep voice: "What on earth is going on? Is there any way to refuse?"
