It was the picture of the king's emperor who couldn't help but stepped forward to support Qu Qingju.
It turned out that she had never forgotten that scene, and even remembered it deeply in her heart.
The fireworks at that time seemed to be as gorgeous as they are today, but all she could remember was the hand that the emperor couldn't help holding out at that time.
Maybe some things are already doomed.
Just like her and He Qi, Qu Qingju and the emperor, Qin Bailu and King Rui.
☆, 106 · Hugh Book
After the Chinese New Year, it is time to move around in the various prefectures. As the Queen of the Middle Palace, Qu Qing Ju naturally received a lot of invitations, but because she is pregnant now, she only met Tian Luoshi and others from the family of the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces. , I need to see Princess Ning and Princess Cheng today.
"Princess Ning, Princess Cheng, please come in quickly," Huang Yang hurriedly walked out from the door of the apse, bowed to Wei Qing'e and Luo Wenyao with a smile on his face, and led them into the door.
"There is Eunuch Lao," Luo Wenyao smiled politely at Huang Yang. She knew that Huang Yang was someone who was needed by the queen, so she treated him very politely.
"Princess Cheng is polite, please," Huang Yang said with a more humble attitude and walked in unhurriedly, "The Queen Mother knew that the two princesses were coming, so she waited early in the morning."
Wei Qing'e followed Huang Yang's words and said a few words of gratitude. When she reached the door of the main house, she stopped talking, and Huang Yang said in a loud voice, "The Empress, Princess Ning and Princess Cheng are here."
"Please," Wei Qing'e vaguely heard Qu Qing Ju's voice, and then the curtain in front of her was beaten up, and a very familiar palace maid came out to greet them, and greeted the two of them into the main room.
This was Wei Qing'e's first visit to this place. She could see at a glance that the furnishings in the room were very particular, and there were no sharp objects. She was worried that those objects might hurt Qu Qing Ju, who was pregnant.
She looked at Qu Qingju, who was sitting at the top. Qu Qingju only combed her hair in a simple bun, with a step rocker beside her sideburns. With her jet-black hair, she could see that she was a little carefree. Lazy beauty.
"I have seen the Empress," Wei Qing'e and Luo Wenyao saluted in unison, and their behavior was full of respect.
"There's no need to be so polite between our concubines," Qu Qingju beckoned, and asked the maid to bring a carved round stool for the two of them, and after giving them a seat, she said, "It's snowing today, so the two of you are tossing and looking at it. This is the palace."
"Niangniang's words are a shame for the court lady," Wei Qing'e said with a smile, "The court lady should have entered the palace to express her gratitude, but things have been hectic these few days, so it has been delayed for a few days. Fortunately, the lady is kind and never blamed Yuchen. woman."
"Sister-in-law's words are outrageous," Qu Qingju sighed when she saw that Wei Qing'e was dressed more dignifiedly than before. There were also many women in Prince Ning's mansion, and Wei Qing'e herself had a son-in-law. "Prince Ning's mansion has been empty for many days, so naturally I have to take care of it. Originally, this palace should send someone to clean it up, but the emperor always thinks about the uncle, so he announced that you will return to Beijing early, but your family is tired."
"The emperor's recitation of our prince is a blessing for our family," Wei Qing'e said with a smile. "The prince also often recites the emperor's goodness in the house, and he also said that he could not repay the emperor's kindness even if he died."
At the beginning, although Wei Qing'e was not like Qin Bailu, she was not always embarrassed by Qu Qingju, but she was also a eldest sister-in-law. Now she wants to hold her second sister-in-law inside and out. Qu Qingju seems to have a little bit of behavior when she sees her. Not happy, I couldn't help sighing, such a virtuous daughter-in-law still never abandons King Ning. Now that King Ning has returned to Beijing, he has accepted several beauties for his room, which is too inauthentic.
"My brother, what are you saying about being kind or not?" Qu Qing Ju waved her hand and said to Luo Wenyao, "Bengong heard that you have had a good news in the past two days. This is really a great event to congratulate."
Luo Wenyao's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "It was diagnosed by the imperial physician the day before yesterday. The court lady originally wanted to tell you later."
"You can't hide such a good thing from Ben Gong," Qu Qing Ju smiled, "Ben Gong has prepared some things that pregnant women often use, and you will bring them back with you later. If there is anything missing, even if you have someone come and tell Ben Gong, don't wrong yourself."
Listening to the conversation between the queen and Princess Cheng, Wei Qing'e could perceive the closeness of the queen to Princess Cheng, which was very different from her politeness and alienation. Who would have thought a year ago that even King Cheng would turn over.
"Speaking of which, I heard that Princess Ruijun was ill yesterday. I wonder if the two of you have heard about it?" I only attended the New Year banquet in the palace three days ago, and I fell ill when I got back.
"The third brother and sister have always been weak. It snowed all night before, and I thought I was ill because I didn't pay attention," Wei Qing'e continued. She understood the Queen's meaning more or less, and would naturally follow her meaning. " It's just that the third younger siblings never interact with the courtiers and the fourth younger siblings, so we don't really know."
Qu Qing Ju nodded with a look of emotion: "That's true, the third younger brother and sister have always been arrogant, and even she is not very willing to come and go in this palace, and when this palace will let people give you something to reward, it can be regarded as this. Palace's will."
It sounds like she cares about Qin Bailu, but it means that Qin Bailu is being rude to the queen. Wei Qing'e glanced at the room, and there are several eunuchs and eunuchs who are waiting for her. If this word spreads out, Isn't it to let everyone know Qin Bailu's arrogance.
She lowered her eyelids slightly, and did not look at the gentle smile on Qu Qing Ju's face. She agreed in a tone of voice: "The empress is kind and kind, and Princess Ruijun's actions are really rude."
Isn't she kind, kind-hearted, and even a princess who is rude to her will reward her without taking the blame. Who doesn't praise her for being virtuous
"It's all a family, you and I know her temperament," Qu Qing Ju showed a helpless look, "Bengong hopes that her illness will recover sooner."
Luo Wenyao covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and echoed with a smile: "The Empress is right, it is the best thing for the third sister-in-law to recover."
Wei Qing'e inexplicably felt that the closeness of the Empress and Princess Cheng might be due to some strange similarity
"Your Majesty?" Seeing the Emperor walking to the entrance of the back hall, Ming He turned around and went back to the front hall. He couldn't help but cautiously said, "Would you like the servant to inform the Queen?"
"No need," He Heng waved his hand, took a book from the bookshelf and immersed himself in reading it, Ming He glanced at it, it was the same book "A Thousand Gold Recipes" that the emperor had read for several days, since the queen's wife was diagnosed with pregnancy Later, the emperor seemed to be interested in medical books.
I don't know how long it took, just when Minghe thought that the emperor would keep reading, the people around the queen came to ask the emperor if they would go to lunch together, and then he saw the emperor dropped the book and stood up.
Looking at the medical skill that was ruthlessly thrown aside by the emperor, no matter what it was, in front of the empress, it was not even comparable to the strands of hair.
In the Ruijun Prince's Mansion, Qin Bailu was so angry that she smashed all the things that were rewarded in the palace, only then did she feel that her anger had subsided a little, she looked at these people with ginseng and angelica, and sneered: "It's hard to pretend to be virtuous. Don't I have these things?"
She used to hate Qu Yuesu the most, but when Qu Yuesu was gone, she hated Qu Qingju the most. The two sisters of the Qu family seemed to be born to fight against her, making her restless every day.
"Princess, these days you said you were sick and didn't go to see the queen. The lord is not happy. Now you have smashed the reward of the queen. If you let the lord know, it would be a big deal." After all the people had retreated, he comforted him, "Now even if it's for yourself, you have to be patient."
"Forbearance?" Qin Bailu pointed in the direction of the main courtyard, "He spends all day drinking and having fun in the courtyard. When did he ever think of me? Even if I demolish the house, he won't be able to control it!"
"But if you go on like this..."
"You don't have to persuade me. In the eyes of the lord, I'm afraid that even the queen is better than me. Maybe he regrets not marrying the queen, but marrying me!" Qin Bailu was so angry that he couldn't say anything. "How noble and beautiful the empress is, what am I!"
The picturesque sighed helplessly, thinking about all the rumors about the princess outside, what kind of jealousy, arrogance, disrespect to the queen, and even someone said that the prince would abandon the princess. If the princess knew about these things, it would also be I don't know how sad it will be.
She didn't quite understand what exactly was the enmity between the queen and the princess. The princess would hate the queen so much. It was obvious that the two of them didn't communicate much. Could it be true because of the rumor about the marriage? But the queen and the emperor are very good, there is really no need for the princess to hate the queen.
Outside the door, He Fu'er stood behind He Yuan, his feet trembling with fright. He really didn't expect the princess to say such bold words. If this matter spread to the emperor's ears, wouldn't it cost the prince's life
Thinking about the stories about the deep love between the emperor and the empress in Beijing, He Fuer swallowed, but it was really terrible, how could he be so unlucky to hear these words.
Carefully glanced at the prince's expression, He Fu'er's legs became softer, he hadn't seen the prince's face so ugly for a long time. Hearing that the princess was still complaining in the room, He Fuer finally couldn't hold it anymore, and knelt down with a thud.
He Yuan didn't look at He Fu'er next to him, he kicked the door open with a sullen face, looked at Qin Bailu who suddenly froze, and said coldly, "He Fu'er, bring a pen and paper."
"Your Highness!" Qin Bailu screamed, "I am the princess who was married to you by the late emperor. You can't divorce me."
"So you know that these words will make this king divorce you, so why can't you keep your mouth shut?" He Yuan looked at Qin Bailu in disgust, "Even if this king is only a county king now, he won't be able to bear it. You princess."
"Take a pen and paper!" He Heng's voice was stern.
Soon someone picked up a pen and paper, grinded and laid the paper, and when these things were done, it was just a blink of an eye in Qin Bailu's eyes.
"My lord," Qin Bailu knelt down. She knew that He Yuan was serious this time, so she couldn't help hugging his leg and cried bitterly, "You can't treat me like this."
"Pull her away!" He Heng didn't look at Qin Bailu, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and started to write smoothly.
"My lord, my lord," she knelt down to He Yuan's feet, "Princess is unintentional, I beg you to spare her this time, my lord."
The two little eunuchs next to him saw that the prince's face became more and more ugly, so they stepped forward and dragged the pictures to the side to hold him.
Picturesquely watched the prince complete a letter of divorce in one go, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally vented, she suddenly couldn't say anything to beg for mercy, because she felt that no matter what she and the princess begged, the prince would not change his mind .
"Take it," He Yuan threw the unfinished divorce letter in front of Qin Bailu, and looked at her kneeling on the ground coldly, "The thing that this king regrets most in this life is to marry you back."
There was a buzzing sound in Qin Bailu's head, as if he couldn't hear anything. He stared blankly at the man who was looking down at him. He suddenly stood up and pushed He Yuan away. He Fuer pulled it back.
"If you want to die back to your Qin family and then die, don't dirty this king's place," He Yuan sneered, "come here, put away all the Qin family's things, and send them back to the Qin family together with the Qin family."
"Yes," He Fu'er didn't dare to offend the prince when he saw that the matter had gotten to this point, so he had to take someone to clean it up.
He Yuan didn't look at Qin Bailu again, turned around and walked away.
The news that the Qin family's daughter was divorced by the Rui Jun Wang spread throughout the capital that afternoon, and almost everyone could not believe that Rui Jun Wang would do such a thing. Now that King Rui Jun has no real power, if he offends the Qin family again, wouldn't it be more difficult in the future
Some people also felt that the Qin family daughter was really unbearable to be a princess, and by the way expressed emotion at Ruijun Wang's unwillingness to wrong her temperament, and by the way, sighed again.
The next day, the imperial censor impeached the Ruijun king for this move, to the effect that the Qin family daughter was a gift from the late emperor, and the Ruijun king Xiu abandoning the Qin family daughter’s move was unfilial to the late emperor and ruined the ethos of the Dalong Dynasty. By the way, he also praised the emperor's love for the queen.
"The queen acts virtuous, treats elders filial piety, and treats me considerate. It's human nature to love her more than her," He Heng said with a sullen face, "The Qin's daughter is arrogant in her words and deeds." She has no virtue, and is very arrogant and rude even in front of me and the queen. King Ruijun is my younger brother, how can I bear to be served by such a princess?"
The imperial censor choked at the moment, the Qin family's bad reputation had already spread throughout the capital, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to compare the Qin family with the queen, so he knelt down and was speechless.
"I think that a man should be filial to his elders, respect his first wife, and take care of his youngest son; while a woman should be polite in his words and deeds, respect his husband, be virtuous and wise. Only in this way can we achieve harmony between husband and wife." He Heng frowned. Said, "I heard that Master Lu, a scholar of Hongyuan Pavilion, has a good girl, both talented and beautiful. It is better for me to be a matchmaker and let Miss Lu and my third brother marry Qin and Jin, and we will get married this winter."
Lu Jinghong was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out a smile and knelt down and said, "Wei Chen Xie the Emperor for the marriage."
The emperor broke the Qin family's back, and also involved his daughter, but he couldn't refuse.
I just hope that the King of Rui County will treat his daughter better in the future, and he will be thankful for not making trouble like the Qin family.
☆、107 · Childbirth
Lu Yurong knelt down and listened to the imperial decree read by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then respectfully kowtowed with her family, watching her father take the imperial decree from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the expression on her face was neither happy nor angry, making it impossible to see what she really was What do you think about this gift of marriage.
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites left, Mrs. Lu looked at the imperial decree with a sad face: "Master, what can I do now, the temperament of the Ruijun king..." No one in the capital does not know what the Ruijun king's temperament is. What good life is there to marry such a person
Not to mention that the emperor was not close to the Ruijun king, and Concubine Shugui did not deal with the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and even did something stupid like framing the queen. Their Lu family and Ruijun king were involved, wouldn't it be heaven? big trouble.
"Don't worry, since this marriage was bestowed by the emperor, it means that he trusts our Lu family," Lu Jinghong sighed, not knowing whether he was comforting Madam Lu or himself, "What's more, now that King Rui Jun has no real power, the emperor What else is suspicious?"
Mrs. Lu also knew that the matter had become a foregone conclusion, and it was useless to say more, she just felt sorry for her daughter and married a lost royal.
"Mother don't have to worry about me," Lu Yurong squeezed out a smile, "The king of Rui Jun is also a king, and he has no children in his mansion. Although his daughter married her to fill the house, her ex was abandoned. It's not bad. Besides, it's not necessarily better to marry someone else than the King of Rui County."
When Lu Jinghong's direct son Lu Zhan heard what his sister said, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, don't worry, there is a brother in everything. If the King of Ruijun dares to treat you harshly, even if the brother goes to the imperial court, he will take you back."
"It's so terrifying," Lu Yurong's smile became more obvious. She glanced at the imperial decree in Lu Jinghong's hand, "Let's live like that."
As soon as these words came out, the Lu family fell silent, but no matter what, they always felt that they owed their daughter a little.
When the peach blossoms were in full bloom, He Heng, under the repeated invitations of the ministers, finally changed the title to Jiayou, and told the Ancestor-Sacrificing Temple to start the year in the first year of Jiayou, and the world called He Heng as Emperor Jiayou.
In April of Jiayou's first year, it rained continuously for several days, but it was not the drizzle that made He Heng feel irritated, but Qu Qingju, who was about to give birth. The closer the days were, the more restless he became. When this woman gave birth to a child, she stepped on the door with one foot and stepped on the door with one foot. The more he thought about these terrible things, the more he could not meditate.
Although it was the end of April now, the weather was a bit cooler because of the rain for three consecutive days. He Heng was about to get up and go to the apse after turning over the book in his hand when he saw Ming He hurried in, and even a The ceremony was done in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is about to give birth."
"What?!" His expression changed slightly, he stood up and strode outside, even before changing the robe that had a drop of ink on his body.
The group came to the apse of Tianqi Palace, and the door of the delivery room was closed. He Heng still didn't know that his pale face scared everyone in the palace to be cautious. He glanced at the closed delivery room door and said solemnly: "The Queen Mother When did it happen?"
"The Empress felt a little pain in her stomach this morning, and asked the servants to wait for her to bathe and eat. She walked in the house for a while before entering the delivery room," Jinzhan bowed, "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, the midwife said. The master's fetal image is very good, so it will be smooth."
He Heng's mind was in a mess, and he unconsciously took a sip from the teacup, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Niangniang said that the emperor is busy with political affairs, and will let the servants report to you when she enters the delivery room." Jinzhan heard the anger in the emperor's words, and knelt in front of He Heng in fright, "Please forgive the emperor."
He waved his hand to make the answering maid stand up. Although he was in a bad mood now, he could still recognize that the answering maid was Qu Qing Ju's close maid, so he didn't want to embarrass her, and just kept pouring himself tea.
When the Empress Dowager Wei and the Empress Dowager arrived, they saw that the emperor had a blue face, the room was dead silent, and there was not much sound from the delivery room. He asked anxiously, "How is the queen?"
"Returning to the Queen Mother, a midwife just now came out and said that everything is fine with the Queen Mother, and she just used a bowl of ginseng soup porridge." Jinzhan replied cautiously, "It's just that Your Highness may have to wait for a while to give birth."
"This woman suffers from having a child," Empress Wei looked at the room worriedly, and sat down on the chair. She even forgot to invite her mother, the Empress Dowager to sit down with her. She frowned and said to Jin Zhan, "Call the girl below. Everyone, be careful, as long as the midwife says you want something, you will send it in immediately, you know?"
"Slave made a note," Jinzhan turned around and left the hall, and conveyed the Queen Mother's decree to the people serving below.
The mother Queen Mother sat down beside Queen Mother Wei. She rarely saw Queen Mother Wei appear so anxious, so she had to comfort her: "Sister, don't worry, these days the imperial doctor and the pregnant mother have said that the Queen's fetus looks very good, You will soon have a big fat grandson to hug."
Empress Dowager Wei forced a smile, but her eyes still fell on the door of the delivery room, not even He Heng saluting her.
He Heng saw that the two queen mothers were late, and his mood did not calm down much. After drinking a belly of tea, he couldn't help getting up and walking around the room, but after walking for half an hour, his forehead was full. Sweat, I don't know if it's nervous or hot.
The palace servants in the room were so frightened that they did not dare to come out. Seeing that the emperor became more and more irritable, they wished to bury their heads lower and lower, so that the emperor could not see them.
"what!"
Finally, there was a cry of pain from Qu Qing Ju in the room. He Heng hurriedly took a few steps towards the delivery room door, but couldn't hear any sound again, so he couldn't help saying, "Why is there no news yet?"
Ming He glanced at the hourglass in the corner. It was only two quarters of an hour. Although he was a eunuch, he knew that it was not easy for most women to give birth to their first child.
"Why is the Queen silent?" He Heng pointed to a palace maid, "Go in and have a look."
"The queen is giving birth, what are the people who have nothing to do in there?" Empress Dowager Wei got up and walked to He Heng, barely suppressing her anxiety, "When is this, when the Ai family gave birth to you, it was so frustrating. One night, don't panic first, no one comes out inside, it means that the queen is fine."
He Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead at will, and turned around twice. If it wasn't for the royal family breaking the rules and worrying that others would gossip about Qing Ju in the future, he would have rushed in, and he would have been standing outside the door in a hurry. .
The quiet environment made him feel particularly hard, and he didn't know how long it took. He seemed to faintly hear what the midwife said in the room. He couldn't help standing against the door of the delivery room, trying to see something from the crack in the door. It's a pity that in order to prevent the wind from blowing in, the curtains are tightly drawn everywhere in the delivery room, and he can't see anything except the darkness.
I don't know how long it took, He Heng felt as if several hours had passed. In fact, only half an hour had passed. Just when he finally couldn't help rushing in, a loud cry of the baby suddenly came from the delivery room. This cry. It was so loud that it almost knocked over the roof.
He Heng exhaled a long breath, only to feel that his whole body became weak, and the tea in his stomach was a little uncomfortable.
"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager," a midwife opened the door with a happy face and walked out, followed by a midwife with a baby in her arms, kneeling in front of the three nobles, "The empress gave birth to a sturdy Prince!"
"Reward, reward," Empress Dowager Wei walked to the door, took the swaddle from the midwife, and looked at the chubby prince with a smile, "Such a heavy boy, good, good, these eyebrows and ears are like the emperor, the emperor, you come ..." Empress Wei looked in the direction of He Heng Station, and forgot about it in the room again, where is there anyone else
She glanced at the half-open door of the delivery room, stunned slightly, then shook her head with a smile, and looked at the fat grandson with a smile with her mother, the Queen Mother.
After giving birth, Qu Qing Ju felt that she had used up all her energy in her life. She yawned sleepily and stared at He Heng, who pushed away the two midwives who were trying to stop him, and strode away. When she got to the bed, she was sweating profusely and looked very embarrassed. She couldn't help but suspect that it was the other party who gave birth to the child, not herself.
"Your Majesty, the delivery room is full of blood, you can't come in..." A midwife wanted to persuade again, but was frightened by He Heng's cold eyes.
"I'm in a good mood today, don't make me angry," he sat down on the edge of the bed without any hesitation, and after drinking the midwife, he held Qu Qingju's hand distressedly, "Thank you for your hard work, do you feel any discomfort? The place?"
"I'm just sleepy, I want to sleep," Qu Qing Ju yawned, "I've run out of strength."
"Okay," He Heng glanced at the delivery room and asked the maid to bring a clean quilt, wrapping Qu Qingju's head and feet in the quilt, bending over and hugging him with the quilt, "Here is bloody, I'll take you back to the house to sleep."
The people in the room were dumbfounded as they watched the emperor walk away with the queen in his arms.
The midwife looked at the bloody quilt on the birthing bed and couldn't help but sigh. She has delivered births for many aristocratic families, but I have never seen a husband as caring as the emperor. Who said the emperor is ruthless, and the emperor treats the queen better than those The family son is more considerate.
Qu Qingju's house had already been tidied up, and after He Heng put her on a clean bed, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and said softly, "Our child's mother will be carried to breastfeed, you Go to sleep first, and when you wake up, I'll let someone hold him to show you."
"Okay," Qu Qing Ju said with a smile when he saw the sweat on his forehead, "The emperor should also change his clothes."
Who knew that after she said this, He Heng's face changed, as if he was holding back something.
"What's wrong?" Qu Qing Ju asked in confusion.
"I just drank more tea," He Heng stood up and hurriedly said, "I will come as soon as I go." After speaking, he walked towards the Gong Bucket in the side room.
Qu Qing Ju was stunned for a moment, then let out a muffled laugh, but she was in an indescribably good mood.
Mujin and the others who were serving Qu Qingju in the room saw the empress smiling like this, and they didn't know what the emperor had just said to her, so they laughed along, no matter what, as long as the empress was good, they would be fine.
After He Heng hurriedly resolved Gong's problem and returned to the room, seeing that Qu Qing Ju was already asleep, he sat quietly beside the bed, looked at her sleeping face, twisted the quilt for her, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile Come.
Empress Dowager Wei stood at the door and put down her raised feet. After a while, she turned around and stepped out. Looking at the clear sky for some time, she sighed softly, "That's fine."
"The queen mother, the sun is out," said Ding mama beside her in surprise, "the little highness was born with clear skies, which is really auspicious."
Empress Dowager Wei squinted at the sun emerging from the clouds, and said with a smile, "The grandson of Ai's family is naturally blessed with auspicious life."
Ding mama nodded: "The slave maid sees that His Royal Highness has big and fleshy earlobes, brightly painted halls, and thick black hair. This is an image of good fortune."
Empress Dowager Wei smiled, obviously very satisfied with Ding Ma's words.
"The Empress gave birth to a prince?" Jiang Yongxu smiled lightly after hearing Ai Lu's words, "Then those little clothes I made are finally useful."
The emperor has long stopped coming to her. Fortunately, the queen treats her well. For her, she can live a good life only if the queen's status is always stable. For example, her position, if there is no queen, what qualifications does she have to be a concubine when she is first named
"I heard that the empress was carried out of the delivery room by the emperor himself," Ai Lu said in a low voice, "The emperor treats the empress very well."
"That's very good," Jiang Yongxu took the needle for the little apron in his hand, embroidered on it was a fat doll holding a big red carp, the size was just right for a few months old baby, "Hello queen, it is We're all right."
The news that the queen gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor quickly spread to the ears of the various generations of the family, which caused the family to be in a hurry. Many women who wrote the Hexi Zhezi and prepared the ceremony were envied by many women. The queen was originally favored by the emperor. , and he is a man in one fell swoop, this is really a blessing that others can't envy.
In the Ruijun Prince's Mansion, He Yuan was slightly drunk. After hearing He Fu'er's report, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Send all the gifts that this king prepared a few days ago to Tianqi Palace."
He Fu'er was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a while and said, "But your lord, should we wait for the full moon to send..."
"Send it if you want, why do you do so much nonsense," He Yuan raised the glass and drank the wine in it, "This king does not lack such a thing."
He Fuer reluctantly responded, but sighed in his heart. Those things were sent to the palace, and I wonder if the emperor would misunderstand. If he thought that the prince wanted to borrow these gifts to return to the imperial court, it would be troublesome.
Alas, now the king's thoughts are more and more incomprehensible to him.
☆, 108
His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor is the only heir of the emperor. Everyone knows that the eldest son of the emperor is of great significance. Therefore, in the third ceremony of the baptism of the eldest son of the emperor, all those who can come have prepared an auspicious gift basin to show that they are right The eldest son's attention.
Because the queen was still in the confinement period, the eldest son was actually carried out by the two empress dowagers personally, and the emperor sat from beginning to end, and no one could see that several giants in the palace valued the eldest son.
After the third ceremony, some well-positioned wives were fortunate enough to take a few glances at the eldest son of the emperor, and went out of the palace to praise how good the eldest son was and how blessed his face was.
People who didn't have the identity to get close to the Queen Mother also followed and praised, as if they would offend someone if they said it was too late.
More and more people in Beijing began to hold the Tian family, but what was surprising was that the Tian family became more and more low-key, and even the married concubine of the Tian family also kept a low profile. After the Tian family's move was heard by He Heng, he had a better impression of the Tian family. Soon after serving, he took the opportunity to reward the Tian family with some things, implying that he was very satisfied with the Tian family's approach.
The capital has always been a prosperous place, and there are naturally people who set up stalls on both sides of the streets. Therefore, when the stall owners saw a tall horse with bright yellow silk galloping past, they knew that this was the person who announced the decree in the palace. The customer has a few words.
"After the Empress gave birth to the eldest son, our capital also became lively." A steamed bun stall owner wrapped a basket of steamed buns in lotus leaves with a smile and handed them to the customers in front of him. "We can also follow along with joy."
Qu Wangzhi looked at the cabbage stuffed bun in his hand with mixed feelings, looked back at the distant horse, and wondered, "That alley used to be the Zhongyi Gongfu?"
"No, Duke Zhongyi is a good official, and he is the maiden's family of the Queen's maiden. Is it normal for any reward in the palace to go to Duke Zhongyi's mansion?" The boss put the prepared buns in the steamer and looked down. The fire in the stove looked smug, "The Empress also bought the braised eggs from my eldest sister's house, and now many noble people in Beijing go to taste the braised eggs from my eldest sister's house, and they all say that the braised eggs from my eldest sister's house taste good. , if this guest officer is interested, he will also buy two to try." He pointed to the braised egg stall across the street with a proud look on his face.
Qu Wangzhi turned his head and saw that many people were crowding around the stall to buy marinated eggs. He had even seen a few people, as if they were the housekeepers of a few noble families.
"Yo, isn't this Young Master Qu?" A half-aged teenager in a student robe of Dongshan Academy rode on a horse, looking down at Qu Wangzhi with a mocking smile on his face, "What a good day today, I was fortunate enough to see Master Qu come to buy buns in person?"
The little servant who held the reins for the young man bowed in a polite manner, "I have seen Young Master Qu before."
Qu Wangzhi recognized that this young man was the son of Zhongyi Gongshumei's sister, and immediately felt that his face was burning with panic, he smiled dryly and said: "Hello, Young Master Chen."
"But I can't take the gift of Young Master Qu," the young man rode straight on the horse and sneered, "The noble family in your palace does not even care about the empress, how can we poor families afford such a thing? Ritual." That was how Liang Shi laughed at his mother at the empress and concubine's wedding ceremony, so angry that her mother cried a lot after returning to the house, and finally became seriously ill because of it. If it wasn't for the sage's decree to give her cousin a marriage in half a month, I'm afraid my mother would be sad for a while.
Although he had never met his aunt, he had heard her say that her aunt took great care of her, and she did not bully others just because she was a concubine, so even though more than ten years had passed, her mother sighed when she mentioned her aunt.
Thinking of the family in Changde Gongfu, he felt a little disgusting. After all, it was still a Gongyefu, but it was not as good as ordinary people. In addition, this young master Qu used to think highly of himself in Dongshan Academy. Every time he saw him, his nostrils were upturned. Now, when he saw Qu Wangzhi's abject appearance, he felt that it was all retribution.
"Young Master Chen is joking," Qu Wangzhi couldn't squeeze the smile out. He even felt that the eyes of the stall owners around him were looking weird, which made him, who was always good-faced, a little bit unbearable, and gave him a random bow. Said, "I still have something to do next, let's take a step first, Master Chen will do it at his own discretion."
Pushing aside the crowd watching the excitement, he didn't even know that the bun in his hand was squashed by himself, the steps under his feet became faster and faster, and finally he even sprinted. He didn't find it until no one looked at him anymore. A medicinal herb shop grabbed a packet of medicine and walked out of the city slowly.
After my father was pardoned, his knee was broken due to the cold in prison. Now he can only lie in bed all day. My mother is crying every day because her sister is gone. The elder sister paid the money to do it, and thinking about the parents who complained about each other, he wanted to turn around and leave, never going back to the dilapidated village house.
"Why do you blame me? You were the one who asked me to marry me back then. Your own daughter doesn't care. Now you blame me for treating her harshly. You don't even think about what you did before?!"
"You poisonous woman, I really shouldn't have married you back then. If it weren't for you, I would be the father of the country now. It's all you poisonous woman..."
Hearing the quarrel in the room, Qu Wangzhi showed a look of boredom on his face, and finally put the steamed buns and herbs to the door, turned around and left the noisy place.
In the apse of Tianqi Palace, Qu Qing Ju was finally out of confinement, took a bath, put on a beautiful gauze skirt, sat on the edge of the bed and slowly fanned her son who was sleeping soundly, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. Live kissed his son on the mouth.
Seeing the action of the Empress, Mujin smiled, walked to the bed and glanced at the prince who was sleeping with his small fists clenched, and whispered, "Niangniang, Concubine Xian has come to greet you.
