After finally listening to Kunal's nagging, Guan Suyi hurriedly changed the subject, "I went to Changle Palace to visit the Empress Dowager today. She hated me very much in her words, and the eldest prince even showed a resentful look. Is there something strange about death? Could it be you... "
"No," Emperor Sheng Yuan slapped her back and comforted her, "Don't think about it, I'm not bad enough to deal with a few weak children. The queen mother wants to find a disfigured child to replace the sixth grandson, and then secretly sends the deity back to the clan, It is taken care of by a few clan elders. Although those people stayed in their hometown and never participated in the political affairs, their words are very important. If they are willing to draw the sixth emperor's grandson, the future of the other party will definitely not be bad. However, where there are people, there are Disputes, several princes and concubines seem to be in harmony on the surface, but inside they have already fought openly and secretly, forging deadly feuds. The first prince and concubine wants to send her son out, why don't the other two? If the sixth grandson dies, the rest of the grandsons will benefit."
"So, the other two princes and concubines moved their hands?" Guan Suyi breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as the sixth emperor's grandson died, she spread the good news. If the other party was killed by Kunal, wouldn't it mean that the unborn child would be burdened with sin
Emperor Shengyuan saw her concerns and comforted, "Madam, don't worry, for you and the child, I will try my best to be a benevolent king. I will announce the news of your pregnancy to me early tomorrow, and then amnesty the world and accumulate blessings for you and your child. ."
"Would it be too early to amnesty the world now?" Guan Suyi smiled, "What should you do when the child is born?"
"Then continue the amnesty and allow all the sinners who have been exiled to return to their original places and make a change." Wei Guo lacks people, no matter how vast the country is, without farmers farming, it will not be able to quickly restore its national strength. If the court can accept even the criminals, the refugees who fled to the Western Regions due to the war will return one after another. Emperor Shengyuan is racking his brains to recruit people, and his wife may be pregnant or able to operate.
"Everything is up to the husband." Guan Suyi hooked her shoes with her feet, "I'm much better, I'll continue weaving."
"What kind of cloth to weave, you are not allowed to weave." Emperor Shengyuan hurriedly hugged her and ordered, "Golden, let someone remove the loom."
"Don't! Didn't my grandmother tell me to move around properly? We only need to step on the pedals to weave, and it won't be tiring. I knit for half an hour every day. After we finish, I will make a new set of clothes for you and your child."
Hearing this, Emperor Shengyuan felt hot in his heart, and said helplessly, "Well then, you are only allowed to weave for half an hour a day. Jin Zi, Ming Lan, you all look at Madam carefully, don't let her get tired."
The two only complied with their promises and did not dare to neglect.
----
The next day, the news of the Queen's happiness spread to everyone. The emperor was in a very comfortable mood. Even if he received the battle report of the defeat at the border, he did not frown. He even rejected the memorial for changing coaches before the battle, and encouraged Zhao Hai to fight again. Zhao Hai received the decree and became more and more loyal to the emperor.
The cost of the harem is finally a little more generous, but all the delicious and delicious things are sent to the Jiaofang Palace. The emperor still maintains a frugal style, so that the concubines and concubines dare not make trouble. I don't know since when, when the concubines met the queen, they always said "how about the little prince", as if they were sure that the queen was pregnant with a male child. When the courtiers heard the news, they also placed high expectations on the queen, hoping that she would quickly give birth to the eldest son of Wei.
Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zuo noticed that the situation was wrong and went to the palace several times to comfort the queen. Such rumors spread before men and women are determined, and the most anxious person is none other than the queen. She was a boy in one fell swoop, but if she gave birth to a daughter, she would surely disappoint everyone. Under the circumstance of public attention, she can imagine the great pressure. If her mood cannot be adjusted in time, it will have extremely adverse effects on the fetus.
This is someone who is deliberately disturbing the audiovisual and indirectly harming the queen!
"Grandmother, mother, don't worry, I can think freely. Whether this child is a child or a daughter, it is my child. I will never be confused because of this." Guan Suyi stroked her belly and smiled, "My son and daughter. I love both."
"The question is what does the emperor think? If he doesn't like his daughter, he will have some grudge against you. Besides, he is nearly thirty years old and urgently needs a eldest son." Zhongshi said worriedly.
"The emperor is not that kind of person, he won't care about this." Guan Suyi said firmly.
"Then don't think about anything, just take good care of the baby." Madam Zuo picked up the gifts from the concubines and sneered, "The rumors are spread from the palace, and it's just a few. Look, the little clothes and trousers sent are all men's styles, and they are considered to be attentive."
"There are more hearts. At this time, I have already found a good beauty for the emperor, and I am ready to take the opportunity to compete for favor." Guan Suyi smiled sarcastically.
Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Zhong hurriedly comforted her to look away, and they said goodbye after sitting for half an hour. As soon as they left, Emperor Shengyuan came back, sat down and asked the lady what she did and ate today, and then lay on her belly and called out a few stupid cubs.
Seeing him like this, Guan Suyi immediately put her troubles behind her and covered her mouth with a chuckle. At this time, Shen Jieyu went outside to ask for a meeting, and after entering, she saluted respectfully, and asked the palace maid to present the gift she brought to the queen. In addition to the two big palace maids, Dunxi and Dengfu, she was accompanied by a 15- or 16-year-old little palace maid. Her figure and appearance were all outstanding, even if she wore the most ordinary palace clothes and wore the simplest bun. , also like a peach blossom, rich and charming. What's even better is that she also has a crisp and melodious voice, slowly speaking auspicious words, which makes people's ears soft.
Guan Suyi gave her a fixed look, and then looked at Shen Jieyu, who had a calm expression, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
Before the group of people sat on the stools, Pan Jieyu also came with the concubines, but she saw that the emperor was in the Jiaofang Palace, and wanted to remind him that the rain and dew were covered.
"Niangniang, how is the little prince today?" Pan Jieyu asked.
Guan Suyi would correct them at first, saying that she may not be pregnant with a little prince, but now she is too lazy to pay attention to it, stroking her belly and smiling, "Today is very good, but the mouth is very light, and I want to eat something with a strong taste."
"Eat some plums to be appetizing, so you don't have to spit them out later when you eat." Emperor Shengyuan took out a jar of plums from the drawer, picked a plump one and stuffed it into his wife's mouth, and poured her another glass He cupped hot tea with both hands and fed her little by little, whispering like coaxing a child, "Slow down, be careful of spilling it. Huamei is delicious, but you can't live on it all day. If you like it For things with heavy taste, I will go to the backyard to pick some courgettes and make you a courgette salad for you."
"Okay, the concubine loves cold dishes now." Guan Suyi smiled and nodded.
The rest of the concubines were jealous and envious, with mixed feelings in their hearts. Pan Jieyu lost her tongue and asked, "Does the emperor cook for the empress in person?"
"Why, can't you? My wife and children, do I have to trouble others to take care of them?" Emperor Shengyuan asked back as a matter of course.
Guan Suyi pursed her lips and smiled. This person said it so succinctly, but in fact he can only cook this one dish. She didn't like to eat, she just wanted to satisfy his urgent desire to take care of his wife and children.
Pan Jieyu's face became extremely ugly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "This is the emperor's first heir, and he should have taken care of it carefully. With the empress's rush of joy, many princes and princesses will be born in the harem, and the royal family will also When branches and leaves are scattered, many children are blessed. Madam, don’t you think so?”
This is a disguised reminder not to dominate the emperor and prevent him from sowing dragon seeds. Guan Suyi was terribly disgusted, spit out the plum core, and said lightly, "Of course. The emperor is not rich now, and this palace is very worried. The emperor, the ministers and concubines are short, you have nothing to do, then go to another palace to sit. sit down."
Emperor Sheng Yuan's impatient expression completely turned gloomy, he put down the tea cup heavily, and said coldly, "Is the Queen chasing me? How can I allow you to tell me about my whereabouts?" Then he looked at the concubine under the hall, and his words were mocking. , "I still keep all of you who have done the best of benevolence and righteousness. Don't think that I know nothing about the things you have done. I am the ruler of a country and rich in the world, but I am not a beggar who can pick up and eat pickled things. "
These words were too harsh, and the concubines were so embarrassed that they were so embarrassed that they wanted to die. It turns out that in the eyes of the emperor, they are actually a group of pickled objects? Also, he is a dignified emperor, what kind of beauty does he want? Why should I bow down to a bunch of idiots who used to avoid him
It's not necessarily because he loves the queen so much, but it's probably just because she has never looked down on him, let alone submissive on the surface, but secretly avoids him, and even makes use of it. Pan Jieyu remembered what she had done, and a look of despair appeared on her face. She finally knew that the emperor would never fall in love with her in this life, let alone look at her more.
She can turn from love to terror just because of a few bewitching words from others, what qualifications does she have to be favored and forgiven by the emperor? Thinking of this, she knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then quickly walked out of the Jiaofang Hall to a remote place, and then she burst into tears and cried silently.
Shen Jieyu and the others' faces suddenly turned green and white, so ugly, where did they still have the heart to compete for favor, they quickly kowtowed to plead guilty, and filed out. If the emperor didn't say it, they didn't know that he had already made up his mind. The heart is puzzled, they have never been in this life. bit of hope. The dignity of a man cannot be compromised, not to mention that the other party is the respect of the emperor, which is more inviolable. It seems that he really has to find someone to be a favorite and give birth to a child on his belly.
After waiting for the idle people to walk away, the dark-faced Emperor Sheng Yuan immediately put on a smiley expression, hugged his wife, and asked, "Are you scared just now?"
"No." Guan Suyi couldn't help laughing.
Emperor Shengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he lay down on his wife's belly, and said softly, "Are you scared of the little brat? Don't be afraid, father is not angry with your mother, father is playing with your mother, you will be in the future. Then I know. Dad will try his best to restrain himself, not to speak loudly in front of your mother, you grow up well, land smoothly, and don't toss your mother. "
Guan Suyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pinched his ear and cursed "idiot".
