New Year's Eve, palace banquet.
Concubine Li De attended with the little prince. The emperor even hugged the little prince.
Seeing this scene, everyone had various guesses in their hearts.
Is Concubine Li De going to regain her favor
The little prince is really a killer!
Once the little prince comes out, who will fight
Concubine Li De, on the other hand, behaved well from the beginning to the end, without showing the slightest complacency.
The beheading of the man from the Li family seemed to have also cut off Concubine Li De's pride.
Everyone ate the cold food and wine, but they couldn't taste it.
The emperor has a big temper, the adult princes are not around, the princesses of the palaces don't have the guts to hate the emperor, and the emperor's grandchildren are even more law-abiding.
A palace banquet, apart from the melodious sounds of silk and bamboo, was surprisingly quiet.
This should be the most deserted palace banquet ever.
However, it turns out that everyone thought this palace banquet was too simple.
Halfway through the palace banquet, Jiang Shuyi suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.
"Your Majesty, this concubine is in so much pain, this concubine is suffering so much. Your Majesty, save this concubine! This concubine doesn't want to die!"
Jiang Shuyi fell directly to the ground, curled up, and cried out in pain.
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
What happened to Jiang Shuyi
Did someone poison it
"Tell the imperial physician! What's wrong with my concubine?"
The emperor cared about Jiang Shuyi very much and helped her up himself.
Jiang Shuyi broke out in cold sweat from the pain, her complexion twisted.
She grabbed the sleeve of the emperor, "Your Majesty, save me, I, I am in pain. I don't want to die."
"I won't let you die! Where did the imperial doctor die? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Everyone was shocked, is the harem going to change again
Concubine Xue stomped her feet anxiously, "Come here, go and urge the imperial physician to hurry up. Jiang Shuyi must not be allowed to make any mistakes."
Jiang Shuyi was writhing in pain, hearing Concubine Xue's voice buzzing in her ears, she just wanted to shout, "Shut up!"
Concubine Li De hugged the little prince with a gloomy expression.
The doctor finally arrived.
The emperor said sharply: "Hurry up and give Jiang Shuyi a diagnosis and treatment, and there will be no mistakes."
The imperial physician was sweating coldly and under great pressure.
To be an imperial physician seems to have infinite glory, as if he is in charge of the medical field.
In fact, I put my head on my belt every day, maybe one day my head will fall to the ground.
The imperial doctor calmed down, drove away all kinds of wild thoughts in his head, squatted down, and diagnosed Jiang Shuyi's pulse.
He snorted.
The emperor was not angry and arrogant, "What's the situation?"
The imperial doctor shivered for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Mistress Shuyi is pregnant. But because of her cold body, she also ate cold food, which caused her abdominal pain. I will prescribe a prescription for Mistress Shuyi to protect her pregnancy. "
The emperor was overjoyed, "Is she really pregnant?"
How could the imperial physician dare to talk nonsense, "Miss Shuyi is indeed pregnant."
"Ha ha… "
The emperor laughed with excitement, "Rewards, there are many rewards. Quickly prescribe a prescription to protect the baby, and be sure to keep the child."
"The humble minister obeys the order."
Everyone: It's not true.
The emperor is almost seventy, can Jiang Shuyi still get pregnant
Could it be that those old-fashioned and old-fashioned people presented the secret recipe for health, which can make men regain their glory
Jiang Shuyi herself was also confused.
What about her pregnancy
She turned out to be pregnant. This, is this true
How could she be pregnant? She didn't feel anything before.
Immediately afterwards, she was in ecstasy again. She was pregnant, haha, she was pregnant.
The good news of the pregnancy even diluted the abdominal pain and cheered her up.
She subconsciously looked at Concubine Li De, with writing all over her face: If you can give birth to a little prince, so can I.
Concubine Li De hugged the little prince tightly, with a smile that was not a smile, and the meaning was unclear.
Concubine Xue Gui exchanged glances with Concubine Xiao Shu.
hell!
In the past ten years, none of the concubines in the harem has moved.
Your Majesty is in his sixties and seventies, and the concubines in the harem are pregnant one after another. It's so weird.
If she hadn't been sure that there was no man around Jiang Shuyi, she would have wondered if Jiang Shuyi was pregnant with a bastard.
"Sister Concubine Shu, what do you think?" Concubine Xue asked in a low voice.
Concubine Xiao Shu was poisoned and became old.
She said softly: "Of course I want to congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty."
Xue Guifei was mocking and hypocritical in her heart.
Jiang Shuyi was carried down with a happy face.
Having a child is equivalent to having a hole card.
She is so happy.
For the first time in such a long time, the emperor laughed heartily.
Old and strong, really old and strong!
Jiang Shuyi's pregnancy gave the emperor the confidence to live another ten or twenty years.
So those adult princes who are an eyesore, let them all go away.
The Son of Heaven was so happy that Concubine Li De was much more pleasing to the eye.
"My concubine, give me a hug for the little prince. This child is really lucky, and he can even recruit a brother."
Concubine Li De handed the little prince to the emperor, then pursed her lips and smiled, "The blessing of the little prince comes from His Majesty."
"Haha, then I will distribute more blessings to the little prince."
The emperor was in a very good mood, and even seeing the many emperors and grandchildren felt particularly pleasing to the eye.
The emperor also specially ordered Liu Zhao and the king of Chu to talk to him.
The other emperors and grandchildren were all envious and jealous.
The person who is the most jealous is the eldest son of Prince Zhao's residence.
The same is the eldest son of the emperor, why did the emperor's grandfather only favor Liu Zhao and the king of Chu
Liu Yi is also jealous, but he is self-aware.
He knew that he had no outstanding achievements, nor did he have the ability to make others stand out. If you want to win the favor of the imperial grandfather, you have to work harder and take the initiative to take on more responsibilities.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
In the coming year, he will redouble his efforts to catch up. One day, he will let the imperial grandfather pay attention to him.
The palace banquet was over, and everyone set off to return home.
That night, the emperor called Concubine Li De to bed.
Jiang Shuyi, who finally stopped the abdominal pain and kept the fetus, was obviously stunned when she heard the news.
"Your Majesty, don't get angry, and be careful of the child in your belly."
The maid persuaded.
Jiang Shuyi gritted her teeth and sneered, "She will look for opportunities. I am pregnant, but it turned out to be cheap for her."
"Your Majesty can take care of her baby with peace of mind, as long as she can give birth to the prince smoothly, Concubine Li De is nothing."
"I don't dare to underestimate her."
Jiang Shuyi was extremely depressed, but she could only bear it.
Her most important thing now is to raise the baby, and other things can be put aside.
…
On the second day of junior high school, Gu Jiu led Liu Zhao back to her natal home for a banquet.
Gu Zhen also came back with the child.
Among the married girls, only Gu Yue did not come back.
Gu Yue's current status is Liangdi of the Wangfu, she can't help herself, she can't come back if she wants to.
Gu Shan whispered: "It's better if she doesn't come back. If she comes back, everyone will be ashamed."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Fourth sister, I heard that you are about to get engaged."
With a bang, Gu Shan's face turned blood red, and the roots of her ears turned red.
"Second sister, you are not allowed to laugh at me."
"Being engaged is a good thing. Why would I laugh at you. Tell me, what kind of person is the man?"
Gu Shan was shy and a little embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law Liu introduced it to me, the grandson of the Minister of Rites."
"Oh? Did you see me?"
Gu Shan nodded shyly and looked at each other.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Looking at the appearance of the fourth younger sister, she should be very satisfied with her."
Gu Shan didn't deny it, and her face became more and more red.
She said: "Father also took care of the grandson of the Household Minister's family for me."
"Is it settled?"
Gu Shan shook her head, and said again: "Auntie in the lobby of the Hou's Mansion next door, she also introduced the second son of Zhu Guogong's Mansion."
what!
Do you want to get married to the Wei family of Duke Zhu's mansion
Gu Jiu simply asked: "What is father's plan?"
"I don't know, my father didn't tell me. But my mother is more satisfied with the second son of Duke Zhu's mansion."
Gu Jiu understood.
She is clear about Xie Shi's thoughts. After all, Zhu Guogong's mansion is a noble family, rich and honored for generations. It looks more colorful and decent.
Gu Jiu asked, "Fourth sister, what do you think?"
Gu Shan shook her head, "I will listen to my father."
She believed in Mr. Gu's vision, but not Xie's.
Xie's picky left and right have delayed her youth.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Do you want me to ask your father for you?"
"Is it possible?" Gu Shan was surprised.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course."
"Thank you, Second Sister."
Gu Shan was overjoyed, her red cheeks never faded.
Gu Lin is very envious of Gu Shan, who has so many choices. And they are all first-class people.
The reason why Gu Shan has so many choices in her marriage is also due to Gu Jiu's contribution.
Only relying on Mr. Gu, such as Zhu Guogong's mansion, such as Hubu Shangshu's mansion, would not want to get married with Gu's mansion.
One is because Mr. Gu has limited talent. It's just that his talents are limited, and he is very slow in the face of court struggles. It is definitely not the kind of person who is good at dancing with long sleeves and exquisite heart.
The second is that Xie's family background is too low. People are not willing to be in-laws with people like Mrs. Xie.
But Gu Jiu's performance in the past six months has been too eye-catching, so eye-catching, she put a lot of weight on Gu Shan's marriage.
Gu Shan's marriage has been seeing each other since last year. It wasn't until this year that the Wei family of Duke Zhu's Mansion expressed their willingness to marry Gu's mansion. It can be said that it was all for Gu Jiu's sake.
Even the Minister of the Household Department decided to marry the Gu family after watching the bidding conference.
Both of these two families wanted to form a good relationship with Gu Jiu.
As for the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion, they are not picky about Mr. Gu. People Buddhism!
Anyway, their family has many grandchildren, so if they pay a grandson for a marriage, there is no loss.
If the granddaughter-in-law can bring all kinds of network resources, then she will earn it.
Gu Lin sighed quietly, "I don't know what kind of person I can marry."
"Is fifth sister in a hurry too?"
Gu Lin smiled shyly, "Just curious."
"Is Aunt Bai okay?" Gu Jiu asked casually.
Gu Lin frowned, "I don't know if it's good or not. You can ask Fourth Sister."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Shan.
Gu Shan coughed lightly, gossiping: "Second sister doesn't know yet, Aunt Tan and Aunt Chun are pregnant successively."
Gu Jiu opened his mouth, Mr. Gu is really powerful.
Aunt Tan is a woman brought back by Mr. Gu from outside. She is a ditty singer, and was brought back by Mr. Gu's eyes just after her debut.
Aunt Chun was originally Chunhe, the maid next to Mrs. Xie. With the help of Aunt Bai, she secretly climbed onto Mrs. Gu's bed. Then she was raised as an aunt.
It was a coincidence that the two were pregnant successively.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Father must be very happy."
Gu Shan said: "I'm not too happy. After all, my father already has so many sons. Only my mother has been sullen for two days."
"What does this have to do with Aunt Bai?" Gu Jiu was quite curious.
Gu Shan was a little embarrassed, but finally said: "Aunt Tan and Aunt Chun got pregnant one after another, and then my father went to Aunt Bai's room to spend the night."
I see.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "For Aunt Bai, this is a good thing, right? How could Fifth Sister not be clear?"
Gu Lin waved her hand, "It's because I'm not very happy to see my aunt."
This is strange.
Gu Jiu didn't ask further questions.
For this kind of matter, you still have to ask the mothers-in-law and maidservants in the mansion, they know more.
Hu Shi, the sixth young lady, invited everyone to have tea and snacks.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Now the sixth sister-in-law is in charge of the family, sister-in-law is working hard."
"It's all what I should do. Second aunt, don't be polite to me."
The Hu family is in a hurry, and he is extremely quick in doing things.
Gu Zhen handed the child over to the maid to play with. She whispered to Gu Jiu, "I heard that the sixth sister-in-law is not only an assistant housekeeper, but also takes care of the housekeeping of the second house, and also manages the property in the mansion with the eldest aunt."
"Sister-in-law Six is really capable."
The thing that Mrs. Xie has been asking for all along is to take care of the property in Fuchu.
The eldest wife Zhang is the eldest daughter-in-law, she will not let go, Xie has nothing to do.
Mrs. Xie didn't even know how much property the Gu family had under their name.
Because the account books are all handed over to Mr. Gu for review, but Mr. Gu never refuses to hand over the account books to Mrs. Xie for review.
Whether Xie lost his temper or made a fuss, it was useless.
Unexpectedly, less than a year after her marriage, the Hu family has already started to take over the management of Fuchu's property.
"Sister-in-law Liu has started to take over the property in the Fuchu. Madam must be very happy."
Gu Zhen often takes her children back to her natal home, so she knows better than Gu Jiu what she is dealing with.
She said: "The wife is not happy at all. Because of this, the wife even lost her temper. She said that her daughter-in-law passed her and made her lose face. After a few days of trouble, the sixth brother came forward to let her calm down."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled.
As always, Mrs. Xie just likes to make noise.
Only Master Gu and Gu Teng can hold her down.
The sisters were talking when Mrs. Xie arrived.
Gu Zhen felt guilty and did not dare to continue biting ears with Gu Jiu.
Mrs. Xie came to the Flower Hall and made a special trip to find Gu Jiu.
"Gu Jiu, it should be very convenient for you to contact Yue'er in Prince Ning's Mansion. Can you post a post and ask her to come out of the mansion as a guest?"
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "For no reason, how can I post a post to my third sister."
Xie frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied, "Why is it for no reason. You are sisters, isn't it normal for you to invite her to the palace as a guest?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Madam, please tell me why I invited her to be a guest? Madam should know that my third sister and I have never had anything to say."
Xie took a deep breath, "Because I want to see Yue'er. If you invite her out, I have something to say to her."
"My wife has something to tell my third sister, go to the palace to find her directly! Or send someone to invite her back."
"That's not appropriate."
There was sadness in Xie's brows, she waved her hands again and again, repeating that it was inappropriate several times.
Gu Jiu knew it well, but she wanted to pretend to be stupid, "It's not inappropriate for Madam to see her own daughter. Madam, don't worry, Chu Palace will not embarrass Madam."
Is this a difficult question? This is a matter of face.
Thinking of her majestic Mrs. Shi Lang, her daughter is made a concubine for others, and she took the initiative to go to the palace, what a shame.
Not to mention coming to the door, even if she sent someone to deliver a message to Gu Yue, Xie felt ashamed.
And Master Gu would not allow her to do so.
Mrs. Xie really dared to go to Chu Palace, Mr. Gu must turn against her.
Mrs. Xie had concerns, but wanted to see Gu Yue, and asked how Gu Yue was doing. So she wanted to ask Gu Jiu to come forward and post an invitation to Gu Yue.
Gu Jiu and Gu Yue are sisters, so there's no such thing as losing face if they interact with each other.
Mrs. Xie shook her head and said, "It's not appropriate anyway. You post for me and invite Gu Yue out of the house to get together. Don't worry, I will remember your kindness."
It's not rare that you will remember my kindness.
Gu Jiu smiled, "The first month is very busy, and I don't have time to invite the third sister. After the first month, it will be even busier, and I'm afraid I will be so busy that I won't touch the ground. Why don't I wait a year or so, and I'll see what If you have time, you must write a post for Third Sister."
Xie was furious.
Gu Jiu did it on purpose.
Gu just pursed her lips and smiled, she did it on purpose.
"In a year and a half, Yue'er's children will be born. Then why should I ask you to ask her out?" Xie said dissatisfied.
"That's just right. It's not too late for the wife to wait for the third sister to visit her after she gives birth."
Xie fell back angrily, "Gu Jiu, are you really unwilling to post a post for Gu Yue?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "No time, no appointment!"
Gu Shan couldn't help but asked, "Mother, what do you want to see Third Sister? She has already married into the palace and became a good concubine of the palace. Whether she lives or dies, can we still manage it?"
"Shut up. Yue'er is your own sister, how can you say that about her?" Mrs. Xie snapped at Gu Shan.
Gu Shan was very dissatisfied, "What kind of sister. Would a real sister burn his own sister to death?"
But Mrs. Xie said: "Yue'er has corrected herself, why are you still holding on to this matter? Besides, Yue'er was so miserable, first she suffered in the Haixibo Mansion, and now she is suffering in the Wang Mansion. No matter how many mistakes she made, she will suffer. Aren't these hardships enough to offset? Can't you have a little sympathy for your own sister? "
