Chapter 326: Pregnancy
Jing Kangdi felt that he had been disgraced.
He said to Empress Chen: "The Empress continues to judge, I listen." ”
Empress Chen said solemnly: "The concubine is in charge." Then turn down.
Empress Chen was carefully selected by Zuo Duanyang for Emperor Jing Kang.
Zuo Duanyang, the emperor, really has nothing to say to Emperor Jing Kang, he is very worried, and even his daughter-in-law is personally selected. The queen's father was originally a minor official who compiled the history books of the Hanlin Academy, and his family background was ordinary, so he did not have to worry about the power of his relatives;
Of course, this is not to say that Empress Chen looks ugly, in fact, Empress Chen is dignified and beautiful, but she seems to pay more attention to the position of "queen" and ignore the role of "wife".
Jing Kangdi felt that being with Empress Chen was more like a monarch than a husband and wife.
Empress Chen was very serious as a "queen", and Emperor Jing Kang went to the early court to discuss state affairs with his courtiers; when he went to the queen at night, he felt like he was in the "late dynasty", and the queen also had many things to play with him. After saying that, he didn't even bother to do the little thing about husband and wife. - Are you interested in doing that kind of thing for your courtiers?
So I went to sleep.
Pure sleep!
Jing Kangdi is still very obedient to the rules and has never snubbed the queen.
The queen also thinks that there is nothing wrong with getting along like this, and being a queen should be like this.
Sometimes the emperor was tired and impatient to listen to the empress's music, so he simply asked the empress to write an excerpt to him. The queen really wrote him an excerpt. As a result, there were more twists and turns of the queen in the recitals reviewed by Emperor Jing Kang. Both horizontally and vertically are batches, and it's nothing to have one more.
Empress Chen is conscientious and loyal to her duties, managing the harem and concubines. If the emperor behaves out of the ordinary, she will dare to admonish like Zuo Xiang. Who made her queen? But the emperor is not stupid, and he never favors a certain concubine for a long time, which makes the queen very sorry and feels that she has not been able to show her strengths.
Suddenly, there was an incident of Wu Guiren, and the queen suddenly came to her senses.
Someone in the palace reported to the queen about this matter, accusing He Jia and Xiaoxi. Both were harshly interrogated. He Jia recruited first, anyway, he didn't kill Liang County, but just followed Lord Liang on the order of Wu Guiren to check his whereabouts.
Another person who only follows but does not admit to doing it!
Emperor Jing Kangdi thought angrily: "Is there anything else?"
These people all want Liang Xinming to die, who did it first?
No matter who makes the first move, don't even think about escaping, the murderous intent has risen, and they have begun to act, is there a difference between a late move or an earlier move?
He made up his mind to chase it to the end.
This result was something Zuo Duanyang never dreamed of, and he thought that with Meng Yuanxiang as a scapegoat, everything would be fine.
Empress Chen ordered people to continue to interrogate He Jia and Xiaoxi, and she was sure to pry open their mouths and ask the truth, and said sternly to Wu Guiren: "Wu Guiren, you are so bold! You dare to send someone to follow Liang County Order, what do you want to do? You are really crazy, the emperor is just late to discuss political affairs with Liang County Order, and after a few games of chess, you are jealous and red-eyed, and you do this kind of immoral thing." Who are you as the emperor? Ignoring the government and politics, do you only drink and have fun with you every day?"
Although she usually allows the emperor to favor the concubines and never embarrass them, she doesn't look down on them in her heart, thinking that they are Israel's servants, and she, the queen, is different, she and the emperor are together, and they talk about "business".
Wu Guiren knelt down tremblingly, and said with tears in his eyes: "The concubine heard that Liang Xinming is a woman...... It was the concubines who let people follow him......"
The whole hall was taken aback.
Empress Chen said, "Ridiculous! Why don't you come back to the palace?"
Such a big matter, whether it is true or not, should first be returned to her, the queen, right? Wu Guiren privately sent the dragon guards in the palace to follow the court officials, and he didn't take her and the emperor seriously.
Emperor Jing Kangdi interjected: "I heard! Who said it? Listen to what Meng Qingquan said!"
Wu Guiren wondered: How did the emperor know? She didn't dare to answer, she didn't know whether this answer was a blessing or a curse, she was cold and afraid, and her body trembled.
Empress Chen said: "No matter who you listen to, do you believe this?"
In addition, she had heard about Liang Xinming's clothes being stripped of during the examination, and she had heard about him in the deep palace, saying that it was impossible for him to disguise himself as a man.
Emperor Jing Kang's anger was suppressed to the extreme, and he asked, "When did you become so close to Meng Qingquan, and still listen to her and be instructed by her?"
Wu Guiren didn't need to answer, he collapsed when he heard this question.
Jing Kangdi's tone and eyes made her feel unprecedented panic, and fear—not only afraid of losing favor, but also afraid of being convicted, afraid of affecting her father and family. All kinds of feelings gathered, and because she knelt on the cold ground for a long time, she couldn't bear it anymore, her eyes were dark, and her body was soft and crooked.
Empress Chen said decisively: "Call the imperial doctor!"
She's seen this situation a lot, pretending to be dizzy!
Emperor Jing Kang also thought that Wu Ci was pretending to be dizzy.
So, the emperor and queen all sat upright, let the palace maid help Wu Guiren up, leaned on the chair, waited for the imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat, and refused to end the interrogation.
The imperial doctor came, and after a brief diagnosis, he got up and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, Wu Guiren has been happy for more than a month." ”
Empress Chen was stunned.
Jing Kangdi was also stunned.
Wu Guiren was sent back to the inner kang, and the palace maids were busy, some prepared hot water for her to soak her feet, some brought soup women to warm her stomach, and some prepared meals and decoction of fetal protection medicine...... Looking at the people coming in and out, she felt like she was in the aftermath of a catastrophe.
This kid is so timely!
This child has become her hope.
Emperor Jing Kang sat on the side of the kang and looked at Wu Guiren with a complicated expression.
He has a lot of concubines, and he married early, but his heirs are not very prosperous, only two princes and one princess. The little princess was born to Concubine Dong Guifei. Dong Guifei can be named a concubine, one is because he likes her Jiangnan gentle temperament, and another reason is that she gave birth to a lively and lovely little princess. The two princes are very weak, one is from Empress Chen, and the other is from Concubine De. Although the emperor felt sorry for his sons, he never thought of cultivating them as heirs, because he really didn't look like longevity, and he only hoped that they would grow up safely, and he was satisfied.
Now that Wu Guiren is pregnant, his joy is undoubted, but this great happy event is at this juncture, which makes him feel disappointed. No matter what the result of the interrogation is, it goes without saying that Wu Guiren's scheming is far from "chaste and tranquil", which makes the emperor feel very strange and very disappointed.
Wu Guiren also regretted it, she knew that she was pregnant, what was she anxious about!
