Su Fengyi is pregnant with twins!
The prince specially hired two cooks from Jiangnan, because Su Fengyi is from Yangzhou and likes to eat Huaiyang cuisine!
Since Su Fengyi came back, she didn't go to Jide Hall to pay her respects!
Naturally, no one would dare to say such things in front of a human being, but how many people who can hang around in the palace are fools, and everyone has water in their eyes, and no one can see it.
Not to mention anything else, just say that on the day Su Fengyi came back, the servants helped carry the box and cage for a whole afternoon. It is said that the cage was too heavy for two people to lift it, and it took four people.
The things that can be put into the cage are naturally good things, how many things Su Fengyi brought when he left, and how many things he brought back now, everyone has an account in their hearts.
So Xiao Dezi became Brother De again, and he was followed wherever he went, and many people wanted to follow him to serve Su Fengyi, because it was obvious that after Su Fengyi gave birth, the little master had to be served by someone.
This is a road to the sky. When the crown prince succeeds, the young master will be a prince at worst when he grows up. If he can serve by his side since he was a child, he will not be able to escape from the position of a great eunuch in the palace. Besides, maybe the little master is lucky and can go further, thinking about it makes me tremble with excitement.
In Jide Hall, the morale that had been boosted up with great difficulty was beaten to pieces again.
The princess experienced anger, panic, anger again, and then numbness.
No, to put it bluntly, panic still prevailed.
If it is said that before discovering Liu Chenghui's matter, the crown prince's behavior towards the crown prince could be traced, but after this incident, the crown prince did not make faces for her like before.
It wasn't obvious before, but at that time she was busy trying to save the baby, and later the prince went out to Beijing and South for a tour, which was like giving the relationship between the two a period of relaxation.
Following the birth of Duo'er, she wrote many letters to the prince because of anxiety, and the husband and wife talked about the child in the letters, as if they had returned to the past.
She thought that incident was over, but she didn't know that it wasn't over at all, but got worse.
From that night, the prince only sat in Jide hall and then went to Su Fengyi's place, and the princess felt it. She thought it was because she gave Su Fengyi a blow outside the gate of the East Palace, and the prince was dissatisfied with her.
She even complained that she couldn't hold her breath, and planned to bow her head to the prince tomorrow, and then talk about Duo'er's matter, maybe it would ease the tension. Unexpectedly, she saw the prince, but the prince told her that Su Fengyi's month is too old, so she should be excused.
After that, one after another, even if it was a little sesame seed, it made the crown princess feel like a pain in the heart. Mother Chen originally did not allow people to report, but she ordered people to report.
Then she listened and calmed down.
It can't go on like this. The princess said to herself, if this continues, she will lose, it doesn't matter if she loses, what about the second princess and Duo'er
When thinking about this, the crown princess was in the eldest son's room.
The second princess likes his younger brother very much, so he has to come and see him every day. During the past year when the prince left, the concubine was busy with her son's affairs, and she did not forget the second princess. Knowing that the prince didn't like her treating the second princess too delicately, she hardened her heart and forced the child to walk and learn the rules.
Now the second princess has also learned to look good. The little girl who is less than four years old already has the appearance of the big princess. In fact, after looking at it carefully, the princess finally understood why the prince liked the eldest princess, but she was indifferent to the second princess. She was blinded by a leaf before.
People always have to go through some blows before they can see themselves more clearly, and the princess felt that she was going through these now.
So she was calm like never before, Chen Momo and others were afraid that she would do something in a moment of confusion, but she remained calm and calm. That's why when she heard that the Empress called Su Fengyi to go to Kunning Palace to talk, instead of being angry, she ordered a few more people to wait on her so that no accidents would happen.
Nanny Chen and the others were very surprised. The Crown Princess had nothing on her face, but her wry smile was in her heart.
Pan'er was carried all the way to Kunning Palace in a soft sedan chair.
It might be a bit useless to say it, she had ridden in the Forbidden City and even the dragon chariot of Emperor Jianping in her previous life, but now she was a little frightened to sit in such a soft sedan chair.
Not only the Empress Dowager wants to see her, but also the Crown Princess.
Instead of being angry, the Crown Princess ordered to bring more people with her so that there would be no trouble on the road.
To be honest, Pan'er was very surprised, but it was more of a subconscious defense.
Well, she is a bit of a villain with the heart of a gentleman, but abnormally she is a demon. Not to mention CDs, even Aunt Qing was extra cautious, not only did Cattail Qingdai bring them, but also Bai Zhu and Xiao Dezi.
If there were more servants in the small courtyard, she definitely wouldn't mind bringing a few more of her own people, but it's a pity that there are only a few people around Pan'er, which is already a full force.
It was very peaceful along the way, and we arrived at Kunning Palace without anything happening.
Nian Ci waited outside with his people, and Pan'er hurriedly greeted her after she got off the sedan chair.
It's not that Pan'er's small Fengyi is worthy of her flattery, but Pan'er's belly is so big that even Nian Chi was a little surprised when he first saw it. It is a good thing for the Empress to call Su Fengyi to speak, but it must not become a bad thing.
Including Empress Fu, after Pan'er came in, she was surprised and quickly ordered someone to give her a seat.
"I know you are pregnant with twins, but I didn't expect you to have such a big belly? What did the imperial doctor say, is this good?"
Pan'er sat on the bottom, and replied honestly: "Physician Wang will come to ask for pulse every few days, and said that the children are all well. The empress thinks that the concubine's belly is big because I am thin. Since the doctor Wang diagnosed that it is twins Afterwards, the concubine didn’t dare to eat very much at ordinary times, and the doctor Wang said that the child should not be too big, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth and easy to be born prematurely.”
"So that's how it is."
Seeing that Empress Fu was still a little worried, Nian Ci smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since the imperial doctor said it, it must be true. I have heard a saying in the folks before, and it is worth staying in the mother's belly for one more day." Stay outside for an extra month, although the imperial physician told you that there is a high possibility of premature birth with twins, but with so many imperial physicians in the palace, Su Fengyi will definitely be able to give birth to the little emperor's grandson safely."
Empress Fu nodded, looked at Pan'er and said, "I don't ask for anything now, I just hope that you can give birth to the child safely and raise a healthy little grandson. Originally, you are still pregnant with twins this month. , I shouldn’t have called you here, but I’m always worried if I don’t call you in. Seeing that you’re fine now, I’m much more at ease. Since the imperial doctor won’t let you eat more, then eat some Close mouth, tell the dining room what you want to eat, don't hold back."
"Thank you for your kindness, my concubine must not be limited to me." Pan'er said respectfully.
Empress Fu was very satisfied with her attitude: "Before I saw you as a well-behaved and sensible person, and the prince also told me that you were a sensible person, so I will make an exception. If you can help the prince give birth to a child this time Kang Jian's little emperor's grandson, I will personally invite you to be named Concubine Liang."
To be honest, this matter really surprised Pan'er, she thought that after the child was born, the crown prince might give her a promotion, but she didn't expect that it was Empress Fu who mentioned it, and it was Liangdi's position.
You must know that the crown prince can only have two concubines, and the crown prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty has no concubines, and the concubine Liang is the concubine.
The so-called three wives and four concubines do not only mean that a man has many wives and concubines, but a long-standing bad habit in ancient rituals. For example, it is recorded in the bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty that in addition to the main wife, men also have partial wives and second wives. It is said in the "Northern History": the ancient princes married nine women, and the scholar had one wife and two concubines; Ma'am, these three ladies are actually a kind of wife.
Times have changed, and ancient rituals have changed from polygamy to polygamy, which means that a man can only have one wife, and the others are all concubines.
But there are always exceptions to everything, or where do those side concubines and flat wives come from? There are also some businessmen who make two big ones, but some people make them in order to distinguish women with higher status in the concubine's room. The gimmick itself is not recognized by the court law, but it is recognized by the secular.
She didn't go into these dishes, she only knew that if she could become Liangdi, she would be able to get the jade certificate.
Yes, although there are many concubines in the Eastern Palace, only concubines and concubines with official titles. It can be placed on the Jade Disc, although it is only recorded as Liang Di's certain clan, but if he has given birth to an heir, the Jade Disc will record the name of the heir born by him under his name.
And other people, unless they have meritorious service in childbirth, will make a small note under the name of the child they gave birth to, which is from a certain family.
It seems that it is just one up and one down, but in fact the meaning is extraordinary.
The palace has always paid attention to "the mother is more valuable than the son" and "the son is more valuable than the mother". The two seem similar, but in fact they have very different meanings. To use the simplest analogy, can a child born of a concubine compare with a child born of a little noble? Even if a nobleman is promoted to a position because of his meritorious service in childbirth, he is still a head shorter than his peers.
Empress Fu's words were obviously a promise that Pan'er would take the position of Concubine Liang first, because it would take a year or even a few years before the royal family had an heir before they could be granted the jade certificate. This is related to the fact that children are prone to premature death nowadays, so I won't go into details here.
All these thoughts just happened between the sparks of calcium carbide, and soon Pan'er showed a bit of surprise appropriately, and pretended to kneel down to thank him.
It was blocked by Empress Fu.
"Okay, you don't need to be too polite. You should remember what I said in your heart, and don't spread it around. I am waiting for you to make a contribution to Donggong."
Empress Fu has always been self-restrained in front of others, and being able to say these words is enough to prove that the rumors about the frailty of the eldest son of the prince have not had no impact on the Zhonggong family, and may have had a great impact. Empress Fu lost her composure today.
Pan'er half-cast her eyes and thought silently, but she only nodded in agreement on her face, and then Empress Fu ordered her to be sent out of Kunning Palace without mentioning it.
After the plate was sent away, Nian Qiu, who had been silent all this time, said worriedly: "The empress promised her so much, if she is uncontrollable, something will happen again."
Empress Fu said: "You also think that I am in a hurry? But, I am really in a hurry. Those two lowly servants ordered people to spread the news that the eldest son of the crown prince is weak, and that the crown prince is more than twenty-five years old, but the heirs are in a hurry. It is so thin that it even involves the matter of the crown prince’s infirmity when he was young, and the false rumors that this weakness may have roots. Now there are even ignorant ministers in the court, saying that it is for the sake of the country and the country, and the crown prince should be discussed.”
Empress Fu patted the armrest angrily, and the more she said, the more angry her face became: "In this case, if Mrs. Chen is smart, she should understand the seriousness of it. Even if she wants to blame me, I don't care. Anyway, here I am." My daughter-in-law blames me a lot. She knows how many sins she has committed herself. If it wasn’t for her, how could the prince’s heirs be so weak?! I can allow her to continue to sit in the position of the prince concubine, which is already for her. face."
Empress Fu has already said this, so it's not easy for Nian Qiu to say more.
To put it bluntly, as Empress Fu's confidant maid, she is not without resentment towards the Crown Princess. If the dignified queen wanted to see her grandson, she had to go to visit her in person. Although this had something to do with the eldest son's frailty, since the eldest son had survived a hundred days, it was not as serious as outsiders imagined.
It is true that she is weak, but she is not too weak. It is just that the princess thinks too much about children.
Of course, it is true that it is important. But Empress Fu had hinted both openly and secretly that the Crown Princess would bring the child to her for a look, but the Crown Princess just turned a deaf ear to it, maybe she didn't understand Empress Fu's hint? But at least it can explain one essence, she didn't take Empress Fu seriously.
Empress Fu couldn't see her grandson all the time, she couldn't sleep or eat well, so she went there in person. Sure enough, after going there, she was made a fuss, and she secretly regretted it in her heart and didn't mention it. The Crown Princess also seemed to be complaining, and she hadn't come to Kunning Palace to pay her respects for a long time.
It is said that he wants to take care of the eldest son, but in fact, no one knows why.
Thinking of this, Nianqiu felt that it was right for the empress to do this. There are some people in this world who rely on other people's good temper to act unscrupulously, so she has to suffer a lot before she can understand.
This is Nian Ci's original words, but Nian Qiu actually thinks it makes sense at this moment.
The author has something to say: Nian Chi never waited to see the Crown Princess, and never forgot to trip her up, refer to that folk saying. It seems that Empress Fu is afraid of Pan'er's premature birth, but she is actually talking about the princess.
But she didn't want to see her, and it was also related to Empress Fu.
