Although the emperor agreed not to tell the queen mother and queen in the palace about her pregnancy for the time being, he naturally couldn't hide it in the Hangzhou palace. The concubine Nalan, who has the highest median rank among the concubines, is pregnant, which is tantamount to a thunderbolt, which really shocked the women in the palace.

"What are you talking about?Concubine Shu is pregnant?!! Concubine Kang stood up from her chair with a swoop, and looked at the promised Zhang who came in to report the news.

Zhang replied and nodded hurriedly: "It's all spread! The emperor asked the Zhang Yuan to give Concubine Shu a safe birth!"

Concubine Kang's body softened, and she sat back on the chair again, "Yes, I heard that she is tired and lazy in the past few days, it turns out that she is not unaccustomed to the soil and water, but she is pregnant!" Immediately, Concubine Kang hurriedly shook her head, "But this palace heard earlier that after Concubine Shu gave birth to the fourth princess, she somehow hurt her body, and she couldn't get pregnant anymore, how did she get pregnant?!"

Zhang promised to speculate: "Xu is it that after all these years, his body has been conditioned?"

Concubine Kang held her forehead and said: "Zhang Yuan's judgment is indeed superb, if Concubine Shu can have another elder brother, the position of concubine is also within reach!"

Zhang promised and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, this is not harmful to you." On the contrary, when the emperor is happy, you can also get some benefits, and being ranked as the fourth concubine is just around the corner. ”

Concubine Kang nodded, and she groaned lightly: "That's right, what's the harm to this palace? Concubine Shu is pregnant, and it is Concubine Xian and the queen who should be anxious!" Concubine Kang snorted coldly, "With the emperor's favor for her, she will not be able to keep the queen's position in the future! This palace wants to see how many days the queen in the palace has to live!" -- Thinking of the child she had left behind, Concubine Kang gritted her teeth with hatred! Although she had been jealous of Concubine Shu's favor for many years. But if Concubine Shu can snatch the queen's throne, she can only be happy!

Zhang promised to frighten her little face, did Concubine Kang look at her and have a grudge against the queen? ?

Concubine Kang glanced at Zhang. "What are you afraid of? The queen is just a waning day, and she is already a person waiting for death!"

Zhang agreed to shudder, and didn't dare to say a word.

Concubine Kang secretly took a sip, she was as bold as a mouse, it was really useless! She hurriedly asked the palace maid to go to her private treasury to find the best jade antiques, and planned to choose the good ones and send them to Concubine Shu to congratulate her.

The emperor called Ming to quietly raise the fetus. But where is she who can calm down if she wants to meditate, early the next morning, Kang Concubine, Fu Guiren, Shou Guiren, Bai Guiren, Liu Changzai and others came to congratulate her. Naturally, everyone who comes has a place. The worst is that Zhang promised this.

Others are just that, and they deal with a few words with kindness, and then they say that there is no thunder, and the send-off is enough. Ke Kang Concubine Xu's. But he was left alone.

Concubine Kang drank the same red date tea as her. smiled and said: "Niangniang can hide the concubine so bitterly!"

He smiled warmly and said, "I didn't expect it to be pregnant, but I only thought it was because I didn't adapt to the soil and water." This is just to say that it is appropriate to the situation, Concubine Kang will not take it seriously, and there is naturally no need to explain more, but it is a waste of lips and tongues.

Concubine Kang is a smart person, so naturally she didn't continue to talk more, but said sweetly: "With the favor of Niangniang." No matter if this child is a princess, a concubine can't run. If it is an elder brother, the imperial concubine is also in the pocket of the mother. ”

The queen is still here, how can there be an imperial concubine? The imperial concubine is the same as the deputy queen, and she never easily seals it, especially when the middle palace is alive, she has never established an imperial concubine. How could she not understand the deep meaning of Concubine Kang's words? Concubine Kang hated the queen and wanted to die, so she naturally knew it.

He smiled and said, "It's too early to say this now." But now that the concubine position is empty, with her sister's talent and virtue, she should have been promoted to the position a long time ago. ”

Concubine Kang really smiled, "Cheng Niangniang is auspicious." If the concubine can be honored as a concubine, it is also your blessing. ”

Bo Ming opened his mouth and wrote a blank check to Concubine Kang, and Concubine Kang also expressed her gratitude in a timely manner. A concubine, Hao Ming doesn't mind opening up with the emperor, as long as Concubine Kang fights for her stomach and gives birth to a son to the emperor, it is a matter of nine out of ten.

At this time, Xu Jinlu stood outside the curtain and reported, "Niangniang, the former prince came to spread the word that the emperor will come over for lunch later, please prepare it." ”

Humming nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Concubine Kang's heart couldn't help but be a little sour, but immediately she raised a smile, got up very interestingly, and said, "Since this is the case, the concubine will not bother the mother." ”

Hao Ming hurriedly said kind words: "My sister should stay and have lunch together." ”

How could Concubine Kang be so ignorant of current affairs, and immediately said: "When I came, there was still a hump simmering on the stove, and this child must have been rotten." ”

With a smile, he asked Xu Jinlu to send Concubine Kang out.

Although the emperor almost **** came to accompany him to eat, he didn't often stay overnight, mainly because he pushed the emperor out every time. Naturally, the emperor could only summon others, but the emperor's interest in those small-footed beauties had decreased a lot, and he began to gradually summon the concubines brought out from the palace, especially the Fu nobles, Shou nobles and Zhang Jie beside Kang Concubine who promised to sleep the most. Those small-footed beauties who live in the Lantai Pavilion in the northwest corner of the palace also have attendants, but none of them have ever been hired.

The emperor's rain and dew were evenly wet, but it calmed down the jealousy of the palace. Ming was pregnant, but she did not occupy the emperor, but she greatly won the praise and gratitude of the concubines. Fu Guiren and Shou Guiren were very flattering, and even made several sets of small clothes for the child in her womb to express their gratitude. The small clothes, exquisite and exquisite, although they are not necessarily embroidered by the two nobles of Fushou, but thinking of their children, Ming Ming is very satisfied.

In the afternoon of this day, the scorching sun was like fire, and the sound of the two-month fetus in Hangzhou Xinggong finally passed the most dangerous time in the first three months.

Hangzhou is already in the middle of summer in June, and the daily ice is also strictly limited by the emperor, so it is not very useful. Fortunately, the palace was built on the shore of the West Lake, where there is water, but it is quite cool and pleasant.

"The Queen Mother has urged me to return to the palace, saying that Concubine Kang's belly has grown, and if she doesn't return to Beijing, I'm afraid that she will be born in Hangzhou. The emperor said helplessly.

Hao Ming stroked his stomach, the emperor has been living in Hangzhou for two months, and he is afraid that it will get hotter and hotter in the future.

The Emperor smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, when your womb is four months old, I will leave for Beijing." After a pause, the emperor said again: "In the letter sent back to the palace this time, I have already told the Queen Mother that you are pregnant. ”

Bo Ming's eyebrows sank, yes, I said earlier, after the first three months, it was time to report to the Queen Mother. It's already rare to be able to hide it for two more months, not to mention that Hangzhou is far away from the capital, and I'm afraid it will take more than half a month on the road, right?

He nodded and didn't say anything more.

The emperor said again: "I waited and returned to Beijing." I told the emperor's mother, seal you as a concubine. ”

He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But Concubine Xian is still a concubine, how can a concubine be a latecomer?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have thought about it, and I will also be a concubine and a concubine." In this way, the emperor has nothing to say, right?"

Hao Ming thought to himself, this is also a method, the same concubine, impartial.

groaned slightly, and said again: "But the concubine is pregnant, so it is not suitable for the canonization ceremony." Why don't you wait for the concubine to give birth, and then the emperor will make an order?"

The Emperor nodded, "I originally wanted to give you a blessing early...... It's up to you!"

He smiled and smiled. (To be continued.) )
