Everything was progressing slowly outside the palace, and inside the palace, the condition of the Grand Concubine suddenly improved.
At her age, if she suddenly gets better after being ill for a long time, it seems like a last gasp of vitality.
But the imperial physician did not dare to say so, and he still boiled the tonic for three meals a day.
However, Prince Ping and the Princess were probably also exposed.
What I mean is, if we can survive this winter, it would be good, but if we can’t, we may not be able to make it.
The Grand Imperial Concubine endured her entire life in the palace, gave birth to a son, and was canonized as a Imperial Concubine. However, her son was incompetent and she was not able to become the Empress Dowager.
Later, her niece Yao Xiang entered the palace. She was smart, beautiful, ambitious, and strong-willed. This was her new hope and expectation.
The result was contrary to expectations. Yao Xiang was defeated, and even the entire Yao family declined.
It was only when she was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine that her brother earned the title of Marquis, but now he has nothing.
This completely destroyed the family honor that she valued, and also shattered her hopes for the future.
Once a person loses his faith, he loses his spiritual support. How can he survive when he is seriously ill
Ci'an Palace, on the couch in the inner room.
As soon as I came in, I smelled a scent of medicine.
"The prince is gone?" The imperial concubine coughed twice.
Li Ma, who was serving her personally, tucked the corner of the quilt for her and said, "He just left. After all, the prince is a foreigner, so it's not good for him to stay in the harem for a long time."
"Yes, now this palace belongs to the Third Prince and Chen, how can Haoer stay?"
The Imperial Concubine closed her eyes, her voice sounding weak and hollow.
Nanny Li gently corrected her, "Madam, Chen is now the Queen Mother, and the Third Prince is the current Emperor. You must not say the wrong thing."
"Ahem, spread the word. Tomorrow the princess will come to the palace to take care of the sick. Let her bring the children with her. I want to see them." The Grand Concubine sighed, "The world belongs to them and their children. I should be able to see my own children and grandchildren."
Nanny Li nodded, helped the Grand Concubine to lie down, and then went out to make arrangements.
King Ping was a little surprised. Why did he want to see his grandchildren for no reason
But thinking that my mother might not live long, and it would be bad to not let her see her, I agreed.
That night, Concubine Yao had many dreams.
She was chosen to enter the palace and accompany the emperor. After giving birth to a prince, she gradually became a royal concubine. Until all her plans were disrupted by the imperial edict of the late emperor to enthrone the third prince Ning Chen as the crown prince.
Only at this moment did she realize that the late emperor had never truly loved anyone in the harem.
The favor and support shown to her was simply because Empress Zhang was very powerful at the time and needed someone with strong authority to restrain her.
Prince Ping's talent is mediocre, and his temperament is unlike her and the late emperor. He is too kind and will definitely not be able to sit firmly on the throne. The fourth prince Ning Rui looks like he may die at any time, so Chen mother and son have really gotten a great advantage for nothing.
But I never thought that Chen was not a powerful person, but her son was.
During these eight or nine years, Ning Chen actually sat firmly on the throne.
But even now, she was unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to be suppressed by the stupid Chen, and she was unwilling to accept that everything she had planned was ruined by this mother and son.
Chen was stupid and had been at odds with the emperor for many years. So, she decided to let the mother and son turn against each other in this life.
The Yao family can't get any worse after reaching this point. The emperor values brotherhood, and Prince Ping has been well-behaved and honest for many years. Even if she, his biological mother, makes a mistake, she will not implicate Prince Ping's mansion.
This life is almost over, I should do something.
The struggles in the late emperor’s harem were so brutal that he didn’t care about getting a little blood on his body.
On the second day, the Imperial Concubine was declared recovered from her illness.
Taking advantage of the good sunshine, she went out for a walk and spent half a day playing with her grandchildren who had come to the palace in the Imperial Garden.
The Queen Mother had been pretending that her condition had worsened, and she had almost recovered after these days of recuperation.
I heard that the Imperial Concubine and her grandchildren went out for a stroll, and I felt itchy too.
So he ordered someone to invite Wan Xiuyi to bring the eldest prince to the Cining Palace tomorrow to have a visit.
However, when Wan Xiuyi came the next day, she started chatting with the empress dowager.
The general meaning is that the eldest prince has grown up and needs to go to school, so he probably won't have much time to accompany the empress dowager. However, the fourth prince is still young, lively and smart, so it is best for him to be with the empress dowager.
"How could Ming Zhaoyuan be willing to give the fourth prince to me?" The Queen Mother waved her hands, very annoyed.
Wan smiled and said, "I'm going to pray for you. Your illness won't be cured, and Ming Zhaoyuan can't come back. The New Year's Eve palace banquet cannot be without the emperor, and it won't matter if one concubine is missing. If she can't come back, the queen mother will take care of the fourth prince for her. Ming Zhaoyuan will be very grateful."
This statement was to remind the Queen Mother.
We went out together, but it’s hard to say whether we can come back together.
The emperor must return to the palace on New Year's Eve, but it doesn't matter whether Ye Jun comes back or not. If she doesn't come back, what will happen to the Fourth Prince
Maybe if I sell my old face, the emperor will definitely grant the Chen family a child.
Just because Concubine Qian cannot give birth to children herself does not necessarily mean she cannot raise other people's children.
He was the child of the emperor's favorite woman, and his youngest son, so he should be cherished in every way.
"Well, look at what I say. The Queen Mother's body is blessed by God, so she will recover soon. Then the Emperor and Ming Zhaoyuan can return to the palace to celebrate the New Year together."
Wan Xiuyi smiled and changed the subject.
But she intentionally guided him, and the Queen Mother still remembered it.
However, Wan Shi did not have such a good intention to plan for her. She was just more ambitious and unwilling to raise a hopeless prince like the eldest prince.
After returning to Qixiang Palace, Wan Xiuyi sent the eldest prince to read.
Shiqin brewed a cup of hot tea and brought it over.
"Xiuyi, do you think the Queen Mother will really take action against Ming Zhaoyuan?"
"Then tell me, does the Empress Dowager want the Chen family to hold the next emperor of Nanqi again?" Wan curled her lips slightly.
Shiqin thought about it and nodded.
Wan Xiuyi took a sip of tea and said, "That's it. I just said it casually. What to do is up to the Queen Mother. If I can use the Queen Mother's hand to prevent Ye from returning to the palace, then I will make a profit. If not, then I won't lose anything."
"But Xiuyi already has an eldest prince. Will the emperor give you two princes?" Shihua couldn't help but ask.
Wan Xiuyi smiled indifferently.
"If I lose another child, the emperor will definitely give me another child to appease the Wan family of Shenzhou."
It is true that I have raised the eldest prince for a year and there is some friendship between them, but for the sake of family honor, these friendships are not worth mentioning.
Others can use her children as sacrifices in their fights, so why can't she sacrifice other people's children
How nice it would be to have Ye’s child.
My uncle holds military power, which just fills the shortage of civil officials in the Wan family.
By then, the Wan family and the Ye family will both lend their full support, and the emperor will favor this child, so it will be much easier for him to become the crown prince.
Even without her own children, she could still be the queen mother.
She could trample under her feet those who caused her to lose her fertility.
