In fact, Shen Jin's life in the palace was not difficult. Although there were many people in Emperor Cheng's harem who exalted the high and trampled the low, but on the first day when Shen Jin came here, he closed the door and thought about the glorious Concubine Lu who was pregnant with a dragon heir. In this way, who would want to provoke Shen Jin? What's more, in Emperor Cheng's harem, there are really not many women from aristocratic families. Emperor Cheng was on guard against the aristocratic families, so naturally he was unwilling to let the daughters of the aristocratic families be favored and give birth to heirs. When Emperor Cheng came to the throne, there were still some aristocratic families who were willing to marry their daughters to Emperor Cheng, but after discovering such a situation, coupled with the daughter of the aristocratic family secretly crying to her family...
Emperor Cheng's method is really not good. He likes to pamper the daughters of aristocratic families. After all, such pampered women are very good in appearance or other aspects, but after the pampering is over, they are given to these women to drink. If the queen has no children, they can understand the contraceptive decoction, but the queen already has a child. If the women in the harem want to drink it, they will bear it, but in the end only they need to drink it.
Aristocratic girls' junior high schools are not only about their appearance, they also have their own arrogance, and drinking too much contraceptive soup can hurt their health. As a result, although they dare not openly resist Emperor Cheng, they have cried a lot with their family in private, very These aristocratic families are already aware of some things about Emperor Kuaicheng's harem, and they have no choice but to let their own family's daughters fall into it again, and some aristocratic daughters would rather die than enter the harem , This is clearly trampling on their dignity.
However, most of the women from aristocratic families who entered the palace died of depression in hopelessness and pain, and most of the rest were women of low status, and Emperor Cheng liked women who could be controlled. I like those who are scheming, so most of the rest in Emperor Cheng's harem are shallow-sighted.
These people didn't dare touch Concubine Lu's limelight at the beginning, and now they dare not come to find out about Shen Jin. They also sent people to inquire about the news of Ganlu Palace, but they didn't know much. They just said that Mrs. Yongning Hou cried, Then Concubine Lu was punished, so these people in the palace just sent gifts to Shen Jin, and they didn't even dare to come, for fear that Shen Jin would cry again, they were not as favored as Concubine Lu.
It's just that the queen mother's palace is not peaceful now, the imperial doctor is almost resident in the queen mother's palace, either Shen Jin is not feeling well or the queen mother is not feeling well, although Emperor Cheng is very dissatisfied with the queen mother because of King Rui's affairs, but no matter what to do From the perspective of the people below, they still have feelings for the queen mother in their hearts, so they have to visit the queen mother more or less. On the day Emperor Cheng went, the queen was talking with the queen mother. The queen mother is not young, especially during this period of time. He is much older than the early days, wearing the blessing character and wiping his forehead. When he sat on the bed, his face was sallow. Even Emperor Cheng knew that the empress dowager's behavior was not good, and there were still people in the room who couldn't get rid of it. Medicinal.
The queen mother smiled when she saw Emperor Cheng, "The emperor is here."
Emperor Cheng said, "Queen, why didn't anyone tell me that Queen Mother is so seriously ill?"
"I didn't let anyone tell the emperor." The queen mother smiled and said, "The emperor puts state affairs first, and this is just a small problem of mine."
The queen stood aside and did not speak. The queen took a look and said, "Queen, girl Jin has been sick and can't get out of bed recently. Go and see for me."
"Yes." The empress knew that it was the empress dowager who had something to say to Emperor Cheng, and seeing that Emperor Cheng didn't say anything, she respectfully agreed and pushed it down first.
After the queen left, Emperor Cheng sat by the queen mother's bed and held her hand. It was the first time he realized that the queen mother was really old, and he felt a little sad for a while, "Queen mother, what else do you need? I Have someone bring it to you."
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Emperor, the Prince of England's son is still concerned with the Marquis of Yongning. It will be enough to bother the Emperor in the future. I will take care of him."
Hearing what the queen mother said, Emperor Cheng felt a little more guilty. He felt that it was wrong to get angry with the queen mother because of the matter of King Rui a few days ago, but Emperor Cheng has been emperor for so long, even if he feels that something is wrong, he will not Apologizing, just comforting, "Don't say that, mother."
"King Rui..." The Queen Mother sighed slowly, and took the initiative to mention this son, "If I had known today, I should have disciplined King Rui a lot."
Emperor Cheng heard the words, but he also thought in his heart that the queen mother really didn't interfere with King Rui's affairs, and she acquiesced in him to discipline King Rui. At most, she gave King Rui a lot of rewards. The Buddhist hall eats fast and recites Buddha, King Rui escaped and really couldn't blame the queen mother, she lowered her eyes slightly and coughed a few times, the maid hurriedly brought water for the queen mother to drink, the queen mother got better now, "At that time..." the queen mother Her voice was a bit old, and she was talking about things from the past, but she was very measured, even if she could arouse Emperor Cheng's feelings for the Queen Mother, she would not feel bored.
At the same time, Shen Jin, who was said to be bedridden by the queen mother, was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch. When she saw the queen, she stood up with a smile, and looked at her ruddy face, which seemed a little weak, "Aunt Huang."
The queen's eyes flickered, the queen was not surprised that Shen Jin was fine, but Shen Jin didn't hide this from the queen, the queen felt... maybe there was something wrong, even though she thought so, the queen didn't say anything, just left Come over, and said softly, "The queen mother said that you are sick, and I am worried."
"Deliberately deceiving." Shen Jin said indifferently. After inviting the queen to sit down, he asked the maid to bring tremella lotus seed wolfberry soup, and said, "Auntie Huang, try it."
The queen didn't think that Shen Jin would harm her, so she took a few sips, and it tasted good, with a pear fragrance, but the queen ate a lot of good things, so she put down the spoon after drinking a little and half, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief Said, "It's really good."
Shen Jin had already used up a bowl, nodded and said, "As long as Aunt Huang likes it."
The queen said, "Are you still used to being in the mother's harem?"
"It's okay." Shen Jin said, "Grandmother takes good care of me."
The queen nodded, and asked a few more questions, such as what Shen Jin usually uses, what he likes, and whether he lacks anything.
Shen Jin answered one by one, and after chatting for a while the queen said, "Your Majesty is talking at the queen's place."
"En." Shen Jin said indifferently.
The queen wanted to know why the queen mother helped Shen Jin to deceive Emperor Cheng, so she asked around the corner, "Do you want to say hello to your majesty?"
"No need." Shen Jin said, "The imperial grandmother asked me to pretend to be sick."
"Oh?" The queen looked at Shen Jin pretending to be surprised.
Shen Jin didn't mean to hide it, as if she had no intentions at all, "Because of the father's affairs with the emperor's grandmother, His Majesty often misunderstood the father."
The queen frowned and said, "Then I..."
"The emperor's grandmother said that there is no need to hide it from the emperor's aunt." Shen Jin said bluntly, "Actually...the emperor's grandmother wants to persuade the emperor's uncle to appoint a prince."
The Queen's hand trembled, Shen Jin seemed unaware, took a sip of water and said, "Grandmother said, my father and king don't know what's going on now."
Shen Jin just told the queen what the queen mother said, but the queen thought in her heart that something might happen to King Rui, so the queen mother also had a knot with Emperor Cheng. After all, King Rui was also the queen mother's son. Shen Jin suddenly said, "Yes. Yes, the imperial grandmother asked me to have a word with the imperial aunt, no matter which prince is her grandson."
The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "It's only natural, why did the queen mother suddenly say such things?"
Shen Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
The queen nodded, thinking about it in her heart, and vaguely guessed what the queen mother meant, no matter which prince finally succeeded to the throne, it was her grandson, her position was very stable, and because of the matter of King Rui, the queen mother might be right Emperor Cheng already had a grudge in his heart. Thinking of the Queen Mother letting go of the power in the palace during this period of time, the Queen pursed her lips and said a word. When Emperor Cheng left, the Queen also left with Emperor Cheng.
Emperor Cheng and the empress were sitting on the same sedan chair, and Emperor Cheng suddenly asked, "How is Madam Yongninghou?"
The queen lowered her eyes slightly and sighed, "Something is not very good."
"En?" Emperor Cheng frowned and looked at the queen. Emperor Cheng was still dubious about the words of the queen mother and the imperial physician, but now he heard the queen say the same, and asked carefully, "What's going on?"
The queen knew what the imperial doctor said, and said, "I look very bad, and I don't have much energy, not only that... I saw that most of the things are nourishing, and I noticed a lot of hair on the pillow..." The queen didn't say Shen How serious is Jin's illness, but let's start with the details.
Emperor Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Got it."
The queen glanced at Emperor Cheng, but said nothing. After Emperor Cheng returned to his study, he called the imperial physician directly, told the imperial physician what the empress had told her, and asked, "What disease does the imperial physician think it is?"
The imperial doctor frowned and thought for a while, after all, he didn't see the pulse with his own eyes, so he just said, "Returning to Your Majesty, as His Majesty described, I'm afraid this is not well, hurting his vitality..."
Emperor Cheng nodded when he heard the words, "Then it means raising it carefully?"
"Yes." The imperial physician said.
Emperor Cheng asked, "Why did you get up? I saw that I was still healthy a few days ago."
"Great joy and great sorrow, or suffering from cold and heat on weekdays, but it didn't show up at the beginning, but now it's flared up, and it's serious." The imperial physician said respectfully.
Emperor Cheng nodded, "Okay, let's go down, today's matter..."
"I understand." The imperial doctor kowtowed.
After the imperial doctor left, Emperor Cheng narrowed his eyes. If only one or two people said it, Emperor Cheng might still have doubts, but now he believed it seven or eight points. Thinking of what the queen mother said today, Emperor Cheng pondered for a while and said, "Li Fu, tell Concubine Lan that I will accompany her for dinner today."
"Yes." Li Fu has been standing behind Emperor Cheng, and when Emperor Cheng didn't call him, he was like a shadow.
Emperor Cheng nodded, and Li Fu withdrew seeing that Emperor Cheng had no other orders.
In the border town, King Rui was not a person who could hide things, so he went directly to Zhao Duan and asked, "Is the matter about the prince's grandson true or false?"
Zhao Duan looked at King Rui in a daze when he heard the words, and said, "Of course it's true."
King Rui let out a breath slowly, "This is also my nephew, I want to meet."
Zhao Duan nodded, "It should be so."
