Yun Chang's heart was shocked, what did Concubine Shu mean by this? Whenever a concubine becomes pregnant in the palace, Prince Jing will order Concubine Shu to get rid of the child? Yun Chang only felt a cold air spread from her heart.
That's right, although Prince Jing is only the adopted son of the late Emperor, he is still a prince after all. It is impossible to say that he has no idea about the throne. Moreover, Prince Jing is good at fighting, and most of the country of Ning was defeated or defeated by him. Guard down. However, if the father had a prince, then the throne would most likely belong to the prince. King Jing coveted the throne in his heart, so the best way is to let the father have no prince. King Jing is more than twenty years younger than his father. If his father has no children, after a hundred years, the throne will only belong to Prince Jing.
I had been thinking before that Prince Jing's biggest opponent in the court was Li's power, but I didn't see him making any big moves. Instead, he carefully arranged Concubine Shu's move in the harem. What. Now, he suddenly discovered that Prince Jing is the most scheming person, and he deeply knows how to achieve his goal quietly.
If it was just someone else, then Yunshang felt that she would probably sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but now, it is a little different, because Concubine Jin is also pregnant now. In this palace, if someone else, even the empress, wants to do harm to the child in Concubine Jin's belly, he can prevent it with certainty. However, if that person is Prince Jing, then he really has no certainty of victory.
Concubine Shu and her court lady walked farther and farther, but Yunshang didn't move a step for a long time, her mind was full of what she had just heard, and she was entangled in how to deal with it.
After a long time, Yunshang came out from behind the tree and returned to Qingxin Hall.
The next day, when Yunshang went to Qiwu Palace to greet the queen, she saw that Hua Jing was there, and Yunshang greeted her respectfully, and stood aside to listen to the two mothers and daughters, perhaps because the queen was pregnant. Because Hua Jing was also very happy, he didn't mention anything about the small banquet yesterday. Yun Chang stood for a while, then left. Originally planning to go back to Qingxin Palace, halfway there, he suddenly changed his mind and headed towards the palace gate.
After leaving the palace, Yunshang went straight to Prince Jing's mansion, and when he arrived at Prince Jing's mansion, the attendants at the door saw Yunshang, and let him in without further questioning. It was only after entering Prince Jing's mansion that Yunshang discovered that Prince Jing had gone to the training ground outside the city to train troops.
"Princess, the prince should be back in a while, please sit down for a while, and the servant will serve you a cup of tea first." The butler said softly, then turned around and ordered the attendants to make tea.
Yun Shang sat for about half an hour before King Jing returned to the mansion, and Wang Jinhuan came with him.
Yun Shang looked at the two of them. King Jing was wearing a black outfit today, while Wang Jinhuan was always red. After seeing it several times, Yun Shang was always very strange. Obviously these two people have very different personalities, how could they become friends.
"The little princess is here? I heard that Mrs. Zhao came into the palace with a blood book to find the emperor yesterday, and wanted the emperor to order Hua Jing to divorce her husband. What happened? It's a pity that my son was not there. It looks great." When Wang Jinhuan saw Yun Shang, he hurriedly sat beside Yun Shang.
Jing Dynasty looked at Yunshang and nodded, "I'll go change first."
It's "I" again, Yun Chang thought in her heart, a little lost in thought.
"Hey, hey, I asked you something, what happened?" Wang Jinhuan pulled Yunshang's arm.
Only then did Yunshang come back to her senses, turned her head with a smile, and said, "You are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. How can Mrs. Zhao succeed with the queen around? Yes, after all, Mrs. Zhao just relied on the words of a young monk to blame Hua Jing for the crime of being trapped by the son-in-law. After all, she is also the daughter of the emperor..."
"Oh, it's really boring. After making a fuss, I still haven't upset the vicious princess. You don't know. That time when I sent you back to the princess mansion, I lost my way in the princess mansion. So I wanted to fly out of the princess mansion with my light work, but I heard that Princess Huajing was discussing to harm you at the banquet." Wang Jinhuan pouted his lips and said with some hatred, "How much hatred do you have with Princess Huajing? Ah, you are obviously sisters, although you are not from the same mother, but you are still sisters... "
Yun Chang heard the words, turned his eyes to look at Wang Jinhuan, "Oh? There is such a thing?"
Wang Jinhuan nodded again and again, "Yeah, don't you know? I thought Luo Qingyan would tell you. That day, after I heard this, I rushed to tell Luo Qingyan. I was thinking, you and Luo Qingyan Qingyan has a good relationship, and I think he will tell you. However, after hearing what I said, he said something, you can handle it yourself, and then left. I thought he would not go to those troublesome things As for the small banquet, many people sent him invitations before, but he never went there, but he did not expect to go anyway. My son thinks, he must still be worried about you, um, it must be like this... "
Yun Shang looked at Wang Jinhuan with some doubts, not understanding why he would say that, after all, he and Prince Jing were not very familiar. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a light cough, and Prince Jing walked in.
Yun Shang swallowed the question she was about to say, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said, "The queen is pregnant."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Jinhuan jumped up first, "What? That old woman can still get pregnant?"
After Yun Shang said this, her eyes never left Prince Jing's face, but she saw that he was just drinking tea with a calm face, as if... she knew it all along...
Wang Jinhuan seemed to feel that his reaction was too intense. He looked at King Jing, then at Yunshang, sat down resentfully, and said "oh".
Yun Chang didn't know what to say next, so she fell silent.
After a while, I heard Prince Jing's voice, "Are you all right?"
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment before realizing that King Jing's words were probably asking herself, so she quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, the medicine given by Uncle Huang is very good. I'll let people see it after I go back. It's just because I resisted for a while, so my body is a little weak, and I'll be fine after a night's sleep."
Prince Jing nodded, "Well, that's good."
Then fell silent again. Wang Jinhuan looked back and forth between the two for a long time, then coughed twice, stood up and said, "Ah, the weather is fine today, I'm going out to admire the flowers, so I won't sit here with you." Then he stood up, winked at King Jing for a while, and then ran out.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and after a long while, Yunshang said, "Actually, today, I came to look for Uncle Huang because Chang'er accidentally learned something, and it has something to do with Uncle Huang. Is it true or not? After thinking about it for a long time, I think that instead of guessing randomly, it is better to ask the emperor directly."
"Oh?" Prince Jing put down his teacup and looked up at Yunshang, "Well, since it's about me, it's always right to ask me. Tell me, what troubles you so much."
Yun Chang thought for a moment before saying, "The queen's pregnancy has not been announced, but the emperor already knows, right?"
Prince Jing nodded, but did not answer.
Yun Shang pondered for a while again, "I couldn't sleep because of some things last night, so I went for a walk in the Imperial Garden, and I happened to meet Concubine Shu, but she didn't notice me, and I accidentally heard something about the imperial concubine. Heir."
Prince Jing nodded again, "What's the matter?"
"Concubine Shu said that if there is a concubine in the palace who is pregnant, within a few days, she will receive the order of the emperor to get rid of the child quietly." Yun Shang slightly clenched the teacup in her hand , whispered.
Prince Jing was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he responded, "There is indeed such a thing..."
Yun Shang looked up at King Jing in astonishment, "Why did the emperor do this?"
Prince Jing put down his teacup, stood up, walked up to Yunshang, looked down at her, "What do you think about me and your father?"
Such a question was a bit inexplicable, but Yun Shang immediately understood what he meant, but was silent for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Huang is brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful."
Prince Jing smiled, "I ask myself that I am no worse than your father in any respect. When I was brought back to the palace by my father, I was three years old. When your father ascended the throne, I was seven years old. I When I was seven years old, I was praised by your grandfather, who was the Tai Tuo at the time, saying that I have the talent to manage the world. However, I did not argue with your father, firstly because I am only the adopted son of the father. Two Yes, at that time, I had no power or power, and in the court, there was not even a single person who could be used by me... "
"But, Uncle Huang still wants that position, right?" Yun Shang didn't expect that Prince Jing would tell her this, and after a long pause, he asked softly.
Prince Jing smiled, turned around, and turned to Yunshang, "Who wouldn't want that position?"
"But you are afraid that it will be difficult to start in the previous court, and you are also afraid that excessive participation in the previous court will arouse the vigilance of the emperor and those courtiers, so you have carefully placed your chess pieces in the harem, right?"
Prince Jing smiled, "That's right. In the current former dynasty, the Li family is in power. I lead troops outside all the year round, so I don't want to do something too blatantly. Besides, I always feel that the Li family has never been a threat to me. Because The only thing they can rely on is the queen. Once something happens to the queen and she can no longer support them, or if the queen has no children, then the Li family will collapse in an instant, and there is no need for me to do it something."
Yun Shang only felt a little cold in her body, and said after a long time, "Then why, my mother and concubine have been pregnant for three months, but you haven't done anything yet."
Hearing this, King Jing turned around to look at Yunshang, with a smile on his lips, a little confused in his eyes, and after a while, he seemed to mutter to himself, "Why? Actually, I also want to know why?"
Yun Shang didn't understand what King Jing meant, and looked at King Jing with some doubts, but saw that Prince Jing had returned to his usual expression, as if the confusion just now was just Yun Shang's illusion.
"The queen..." Yun Shang asked again.
Prince Jing glanced at Yunshang, "Empress? She doesn't need me to do anything at all."
Yun Chang looked at Prince Jing as if he was very sure, but was taken aback for a moment, wondering what the words meant. It suddenly occurred to me that yesterday, when Concubine Shu was talking about the child in the empress's belly, she seemed to have said that the empress's belly has too many people in the palace. was born smoothly.
Thinking of this, Yun Shang also understood a little bit, then raised her head and said to King Jing, "Shang'er knows, thank you, Uncle Huang, for telling me frankly."
King Jing stared at Yunshang for a long while, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Is it true that in your heart now, I have become a pretender to the throne? Do you think that my trick is It's too vicious."
Yun Chang shook her head, "No poison, no husband."
When King Jing heard this, his eyes paused for a long time, and then he smiled, "No poison, no husband, well said, no poison, no husband."
Yun Shang got up to say goodbye, and Prince Jing followed him to the gate of the courtyard. After a long time, he almost muttered to himself, "I seem to know why I failed to attack Concubine Jin, probably because of you."
Yunshang paused, and looked at King Jing with some astonishment, but saw that he seemed to have never said that just now, looking at Yunshang with a smile, "Then I won't see you off." Then he turned around and entered again. up the yard.
Yun Chang stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, feeling as if she was in a dream. After a long time, she turned and left.
"Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, roughly, it's because of you... God, Luo Qingyan, you would say such a thing, I almost fell off the roof in fright, you know? I always thought, In fact, you have the habit of breaking your sleeves. Once, I thought about it. Could it be that I am too beautiful, which makes you have unreasonable thoughts about me, so I have been reluctant to contact women. Once, I was also So I feel guilty, I feel sorry for those girls who like you. Once, every time you looked at me so affectionately, every time I was always by your side, I even thought about it , Should I follow you..." Wang Jinhuan looked at King Jing standing in the study and was still staring at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, so he circled around King Jing several times and said in admiration.
"Oh, but now that your merits and virtues have finally come to fruition, you, Luo Qingyan, would miss a girl so much. Oh, it makes me feel very happy to think about it. This little princess must have been sent down by the heavens to punish you. , It seems that I have communicated with her a lot... However, Luo Qingyan, she is your niece, she is twelve years younger than you, how can you do it..." A high-pitched voice came out, and immediately, there was a "bang", and a red figure lay on the ground in the yard.
"Luo Qingyan, you are cruel, I will go to the little princess to complain later..." Wang Jinhuan's voice was a bit painful, "My God, my arm, my arm is about to break, Luo Qingyan, hurry up!" Ask the doctor to show me..."
When Yunshang returned to Qingxin Hall, Qinyi and Qianyin were standing at the door and kept looking around, and they were relieved when they saw Yunshang's figure, and hurried forward and said, "Princess, where have you been? Earlier, you went to ask the queen to ask for peace and not let the servants follow, and the servants waited in the palace for a long time but did not see you coming back, so the servants were anxious to death."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "It's nothing, thanks to Uncle Huang, otherwise I wouldn't have been so relaxed. I went to invite the Queen to invite An on the way back, and suddenly remembered that I left in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't I thanked Uncle Huang well, so I made a special trip to Prince Jing's Mansion, and Uncle Huang went to the training ground outside the city again, so I waited a little longer."
Yun Shang told Qin Yi and Qian Yin what happened last night, causing the two girls to scold Hua Jing for a whole night, and she was a little more grateful to King Jing. Hearing what Yun Shang said, Qin Yi Yi Bian nodded and said, "I should thank Prince Jing very much. Recently, Prince Jing has helped a lot when I encountered troubles. Speaking of which, Prince Jing is really the lucky star of the princess."
Upon hearing the words, Yunshang suddenly remembered the sentence she said before leaving Prince Jing's mansion, "Probably, it's because of you..." Yunshang thought about it all the time, but she didn't understand why Prince Jing said that suddenly.
"Princess, princess..." Qin Yi's voice came from next to her ear, and Yun Shang suddenly came back to her senses, realizing that she seemed to be fascinated by thinking of Prince Jing more and more recently, and her heart trembled secretly, " Um?"
Qin Yi stared at Yun Shang for a while, and then said, "Why is the princess in a daze recently?" After complaining, she quickly continued, "Princess, I heard from Manager Zheng that Mrs. Zhao really went alone After crossing the border..."
Yun Shang nodded when she heard the words, "Mrs. Zhao is not a bad person. Although she has a strange temper, she is really good to her son."
Hearing the words, Qianyin also took up the words and said, "I feel very happy every time I see Princess Huajing being speechless by Mrs. Zhao. In this world, there are still people who are completely against Huajing." He didn't have any good impressions, and he targeted him everywhere, which made Hua Jing dare not fight back blatantly."
Yun Shang also smiled slightly, "Qianyin, ask someone to ask how things are with Zhao Yingjie."
Qianyin nodded, "The servant will let someone take the letter out later."
Yun Shang let out a "hmm", sat down on the soft couch, and took a book casually, "By the way, during the time I'm leaving today, is there any movement from the Queen's side?"
Qianyin helped Yunshang take a blanket to cover it, and then said, "The winter solstice will be in a few days. I heard that the queen and Hua Jing discussed and planned to announce the queen's pregnancy on the winter solstice celebration..."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "She knows how to attract the most attention."
Speaking of the celebration of the winter solstice, Yunshang remembered something that was ordered a long time ago, and said, "Is the thing prepared by my people ready? About... the winter solstice ceremony..."
When Qianyin heard this, her brows and eyes were a little proud, "Reporting to the princess, everything has been prepared. On the day of the winter solstice, the servant will definitely give the empress a big gift."
