Chu Fei'er: "The emperor has said a lot to me, how do I know which sentence the emperor is referring to?"
Yan Li: "I once told you that if you are pregnant with a child, you have to become strong and able to protect yourself, because in the palace, there are many people who are planning on you."
Chu Fei'er remembered that it was what Yan Li said on her first night. She was ignorant at the time, and now she is still half-knowledgeable.
"Why do so many people think of me?"
The more pure Chu Fei'er is like a white lotus, the more tangled Yan Li's eyebrows become. How can a woman who has no city and no power survive in the harem safely
"Self-protection is the most basic instinct of a person. When everyone finds that their own interests and their lives are threatened, they will attack others to achieve the purpose of self-protection. The harem is not different from the outside, but anyone who is pregnant If my child is a woman, she will harm the interests of other women."
"Why?" Chu Fei'er was still confused.
Yan Li stroked Chu Fei'er's smooth and greasy face with his hands, his eyes were full of eager expectations: "Do you know about the matter of Concubine Zixuan?"
Zixuan's child was aborted because of an assassin's assassination at night, and no one in the harem knew about it. Moreover, almost everyone believed that the assassin was Rong Changan.
Chu Feier nodded.
Yan Li said sadly: "Before Zixuan is pregnant with my child, no one will regard her as an enemy. Once she is pregnant with a child, she will become the target of public criticism. I admit that I did not protect Zixuan. There is a great responsibility. But Zixuan is too innocent, if it is one of the reasons for the miscarriage of the child."
Chu Fei'er thought about it, the words were stuck in her throat, she didn't know whether she should spit them out or not.
"Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say, I don't know whether to ask it or not."
"you say."
Chu Fei'er asked timidly: "People say that the person who caused Concubine Zixuan to have a miscarriage was... Queen Rong, right?" Gossamer, who can barely hear herself.
But in Yan Li's case, it's like a thunderbolt. He turned his face away and looked elsewhere, his eyes were confused and deep. There was clearly a trace of pain hanging around his mouth.
"Your Majesty, did my concubine ask about your sore spot? If so, your Majesty doesn't need to answer me, just pretend you haven't asked."
Yan Li: "About this question, I don't know how to answer you. You just need to remember what I said, learn to be strong, learn to protect yourself, so that other women can't see your flaws, or don't dare to peep at you. Only in this way can you protect the baby in your womb and let him be born smoothly."
At this time, in Yan Li's mind, he had already thought of a way to make Chu Fei'er stronger.
After being silent for a while, Chu Fei'er pursed her lips for a while, before she asked: "Your Majesty, if it's the Empress... she will also deal with me and hurt my child..."
"Impossible!" Yan Li turned his head suddenly, his scarlet eyes sparkling, "She...she won't hurt your child...how could she hurt your child?"
Yan Li's subsequent words were also as thin as a gossamer, even he himself couldn't hear clearly.
That's right, if the person who went to assassinate Zixuan was really Rong Changan, then Rong Changan might also come to assassinate Chu Fei'er, if that's the case, what should we do? He had persuaded himself a thousand times and ten thousand times that Rong Changan would not do such a thing, but the facts before him, the logic that was clear at the thought, all said that Rong Changan was actually the assassin!
A woman who has had a miscarriage and is no longer able to conceive a child has a strong sense of jealousy, and it is possible to do such a thing.
After a few days, the Jinluan Palace, the place of the early dynasty. Just as Yan Li sat on the throne, Eunuch Lu took out an imperial decree from the red lacquered wooden box and read it out to the ministers.
"It is hereby that Concubine Chu is pregnant, and she will give birth to a prince after September. The mother is the son, and I canonize Concubine Chu as the Empress of the Eastern Palace. The Empress of Chu takes care of her every day, and the empress of the Western Palace shall prevail. Respect, kiss , This is the virtue of China. Since Concubine Chu has been conferred the title of Empress of the Eastern Palace, how can she not be favored by her father? How to confer the title of Chu Lin, I will discuss it with my ministers. Here it is!"
When the ministers heard that Chu Fei'er was pregnant with a child, they knelt down and congratulated together: "Congratulations to the emperor for having a new prince!"
Even though the first two children were not kept, the ministers still spoke nicely, so they congratulated Yan Li and said that it was "another prince", as if the previous two children had not been lost.
At the time of congratulations, some ministers have already started beating Xiao Jiujiu. Since Chu Fei'er was conceived as the Dragon Seed and was canonized as Queen of the Eastern Palace, then Chu Lin's title and official position must not be small, and after the dynasty dissipates, she will be the first to curry favor with Chu Lin.
Yan Li flicked his dragon eyes and scanned all the ministers.
"Today, I want to discuss with all my lovers how to bestow Chu Lin. Last time, because of a poisoning incident in a refugee camp, I dismissed him and investigated. Later, I investigated clearly. In fact, that incident was related to Chu Lin It has nothing to do with it, but someone is trying to frame Chu Lin, I don't know, it almost turned into a typo."
There are many ministers who want to speak, and everyone wants to express their support for Chu Lin.
"Your Majesty!" Almost all the ministers scrambled to be the first to shout out this sentence in unison, "I feel that Master Chu..."
Yan Li didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm to be so high today, so he pointed to one of the ministers: "Master Zeng, tell me, how should I grant Chu Lin the title?"
The minister surnamed Zeng was ordered first by Yan Li, so he naturally smiled with joy. If it got to Chu Lin's ears, and he was the first to say that Chu Lin was good, Chu Lin would definitely look at him differently.
"Actually, at the beginning, I felt that the poisoning incident had nothing to do with Lord Chu, and that Lord Chu was innocent. Now that the Empress of Chu is on the throne, she should compensate Lord Chu. I investigated the allusions of the past dynasties, and all the fathers of the empress If you want to be a Marquis, you will be a first-rank official.”
Yan Li said: "Chu Lin was already the Marquis of Guannei before, and now I will make him Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. As for the official position, among the first rank, which position do you think is most suitable for him?"
Chu Lin was greedy and cowardly, and was not suitable for an important position, but in order to protect Chu Fei'er, Yan Li had to plan to ask Chu Lin to take up an important position to strengthen the power of the Chu family, making those who wanted to harm Chu Fei'er afraid.
In order to attract Yan Li's attention, an official kowtowed three times: "Your Majesty, as a foreign relative, Mr. Chu is not arrogant and domineering. It is really rare among foreign relatives. I also investigated the allusions and found that the Queen The father of the father usually wants to be a general of chariots and riders. Therefore, the minister thinks that Lord Chu should be appointed as a general of chariots and riders to honor and favor the noble concubine Chu."
The General Cheqi is in charge of the military power of the entire country, not to mention that Chu Lin is greedy or not, but in terms of prestige, Chu Lin is unable to subdue those warriors galloping on the battlefield.
Yan Li weighed it up and said, "General Cheqi is not suitable for Chu Lin, you should think about another position."
There was a murmur of discussion in the court, and then another minister said: "What do you think of the position of the three princes, Your Majesty?"
Sangong refers to Sikong, Sima, and Situ, and their power is greater than that of Shangshu.
