"I want to talk to the Empress...... Heirs......"
As soon as the words of the young son of heaven came out, all the attendants were stunned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The emperor and queen are still children, and the palace people, eunuchs and ministers who serve, except for those with identities such as Jin Xian and Jin Jian, are mostly elderly and mature people, in order to educate the two at all times.
Except for one or two special cases, the two who served the emperor and queen were not unsavvy, if it was only the young Son of Heaven who mentioned the word "heir", few people here would blush, but the Son of Heaven was talking to the queen......
- Talking about ...... "heir" with the nine-year-old queen......
All people have a sense of incompetence in understanding.
- Nine-year-old...... But it's not like five or six years old...... Ignorance......
After being stunned for a while, Xijun's face turned red, and he only felt that his cheeks were hot. She shook off the hand of the Son of Heaven and ran away without caring about anything.
The queen's mother-in-law, nanny and other palace people suddenly came back to their senses, but they didn't know whether to catch up with the young queen.
As if he was pleased by the queen's actions, the young man's pursed lips raised the arc of a smile, and his eyes flashed, showing a feeling of tenderness and sweetness.
β¦β¦ It is said that if the Son of Heaven is like this, everyone in the middle palace should rest assured...... However, glancing at the nanny and Changyu beside him, Yihua lowered his head, knowing in his heart that they felt the same as herβeven more uneasy.
There are many people who think the same as Yihua, at least, Fu Mu, who is the leader of the people in the middle palace, also feels uneasy, but as soon as she raised her head, before she could speak, she saw the Son of Heaven standing at the gate of the palace turn around with his hand in his hand, and threw down two fluttering words: "You don't have to be with you." Just a few words. β
As he spoke, the young man in a dark coat had already walked to the apse.
Everyone in the middle palace immediately looked at the queen Fu Mu who was standing in the first place, and silently asked what to do.
The queen's mother was startled by everyone's substantial gaze, and her originally calm mind suddenly became confused, and she looked at the people closest to her almost as if she was asking for help.
Who can have any idea about this at this time?
The few people who were watching silently dodged Fu's mother's gaze, making the woman who had always been calm even more flustered. When she was anxious, she saw Yi Hua smile slightly mockingly.
"Changyu Yihua ......" Fu's mother called lightly, thinking that she had an idea.
The others' eyes immediately turned to the young Changyu.
Yihua turned his eyes and motioned to Fu's mother to look at the palace door, and everyone looked over with Fu's mother, but saw that the two eunuchs who accompanied the Son of Heaven were closing the palace door.
Fu Mu frowned suddenly, but it was inconvenient to teach the subordinates of the Shaofu a lesson, so she could only look at the eunuch Cheng on the side.
Without waiting for the queen's mother Fu to ask, Huang Menling, who was with the Son of Heaven, stepped forward with Xiao and explained: "Since Your Majesty said it, I can only wait outside......
The eunuch Cheng, who was in charge of the eunuchs in the middle palace, immediately said without softness or hardness: "Let the princes have to do it themselves in the Jiaofang Palace, it is really impossible to control it." Xie Huangmen order, the servant later asked the eunuch order for guilt. β
This means that he has overstepped his bounds.
Huang Men Ling could only laugh dryly twice, and he was polite.
After all, the eunuch has a lower rank than him, and he is reasonable, so he is not easy to argue with him, so it is better to wait for the eunuch of the same rank to explain himself when Ling Xingshi asks about the crime.
However, Huang Men Ling didn't care too much about this.
The subordinate offices of the Shaofu, the Yellow Gate Department, are close to the position, dedicated to the Son of Heaven, and all things are in their offices, and their status is second only to the Zhongshu Confessor Office who is in charge of the selection of the office and the clerkship, but the eunuch office responsible for the prohibition of eunuchs and internal servants, in the eyes of the Yellow Gate Order, is nothing.
Most of the people in the palace are well aware of this, so knowing that the Yellow Gate Order is perfunctory, the people in the middle palace have no choice but to bow their heads and act as if they are unaware.
Yihua didn't pay much attention to the "conversation" between Huangmen Ling and the eunuch Cheng, and kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. The other Changyu standing beside her had a worried face, staring at the closed door of the palace, and after looking at it for a while, she reluctantly looked away and looked at the people around her, she still chose Yihua.
The sleeves of his shirt were torn off, Yi Hua raised his eyes to look at the initiator, but saw that the other party was worried, and when he saw that he had looked over, he said in a low voice: "There will be nothing wrong in the middle palace......"
Yihua looked surprised, and asked in a puzzled low voice, "What can it be?" β
- Isn't it just talking?
The chief royal bit his lip, lowered his voice, and said, "Your Majesty wants to talk about the heir......"
Yihua raised his eyebrows slightly, still puzzled.
After all, Changyu is a palace person, not a married woman like Fu's mother, and some things are not easy to say, so the other party is silent, and his face is extremely ugly.
Yihua blinked, didn't ask any more questions, just lowered his head and stared at the square inch in front of his feet. No one saw it, and a dim but sharp light flashed in the young Changyu's eyes.
- That young man is here to talk about "heirs"...... But it's not about the "heirs" of the queen......
Yihua realized, and he could no longer contain a terrible thought in his heart.
- The Dead Eighth Son...... Is pregnant......
Yihua couldn't help but clench his fists.
In the main hall of the apse, Xijun, who was sitting across the case from the Son of Heaven, also clenched his fists.
Under the body is a delicate pu mat, but the body is a thick brocade embroidered robe, and there is a gilded furnace in the hall, which is not cold...... However, Xijun still felt that the cold chill seeped in from under his body and pierced to the bottom of his heart, and it did not stop......
Xijun felt that he was almost numb from the cold, but a muffled voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Her whole body stiffened, and it took a while to distinguish that it was the voice of the Son of Heaven, but he didn't seem to notice Xijun's abnormality, and said what he wanted to say, so Xijun only heard the last sentence.
The young man said, "...... ι’ε...... I need an heir! β
Xi Jun blinked, confirmed that he had finished, and nodded: "What Your Majesty said is very true!" β
- Heirs......
Xijun is very clear - marriage ...... Husband and wife...... The Emperor ...... Concubine ...... In the final analysis, it is the descendants of the clan who continue to reproduce, so that the ancestors ...... and with them, they will be able to enjoy the food of blood from generation to generation.
- The Son of Heaven is also a mortal, and he also needs to be enshrined, so naturally he needs an heir!
- She is the queen, husband and wife are one, and they have been married for the succession of the surname after all......
The little girl thought deeply on her face - she ...... Heirs are needed too!
It wasn't until this moment that Liu Fuling discovered that his queen didn't seem to understand what she meant at all.
- Is it too young...... Or don't care about him at all......
The fifteen-year-old Son of Heaven frowned slightly, wanting to repeat Fang Cai's words, but felt annoyed and unwilling, and in the end, he snorted coldly and said unhappily: "I'm right? What did I say? β
Xijun was still thinking about the matter of the "heir" along her own lines, because she was immersed in thinking, the chill that made her whole body stiff retreated, and because of this, the displeasure of the Son of Heaven came to her ears for the first time.
When she came back to her senses, the young queen raised her eyes to look at the Son of Heaven, her eyes were full of inexplicability, and she was about to reply, but she couldn't help blushing, so she lowered her head and replied to the Son of Heaven in an almost murmuring voice: "Your Majesty said...... Need an offspring......"
Liu Fuling was silent and sighed for a long time, but he didn't know whether he felt helpless for himself or the other party.
"Jijun, I'm fifteen years old...... I can't live without an heir......" Liu Fuling said slowly, "You're young...... Naturally, no one cares, but I'm not...... There are other concubines in my harem, and I can't be without heirs! β
Xijun blinked and didn't speak, but his dark eyes were full of obvious confusion and incomprehension.
Liu Fuling smiled bitterly, and habitually supported the jade table beside him with his right hand, gently swiping back and forth.
"The sixteenth emperor took the throne, because he had no children, and even his own uncle showed favor to the princes and kings...... Childless...... It means that the collateral has a chance to win...... Do you understand what I'm saying? Looking at the young queen's increasingly obvious puzzled look, Liu Fuling had to stop and helplessly asked her if she understood.
Xijun shook his head blankly. Liu Fuling smiled helplessly.
The young queen bowed her head embarrassedly and said something vaguely, but her voice was too low, Liu Fuling didn't understand anything, so she could only lean over and say softly: "What did you say?" β
Xijun raised his eyes and looked at him, and said a word quickly, this time, Liu Fuling heard clearly.
The young queen said, "Concubines also need heirs." β
Liu Fuling's face brushed the ground, and the blood faded.
- The queen has no children, and the concubines have children......
- The most recent example is his imperial examination......
- and his even more praised imperial ancestor......
- Bo and Chen......
The reasons for the deposition of the queen are always complex, but childlessness is clearly one of the most important reasons......
Liu Fuling vaguely understood why the Huo family and the Shangguan family behind the queen were so taboo that his harem was pregnant......
- Should I be excused?
- After all, his empress is not the same as the deposed queen Chen of the first emperor......
Chen was nearly ten years older than Emperor Xiaowu, Chen had always been infertile, and Emperor Kaowu naturally wanted to find other women, but his empress was too young...... Obviously, her protectors don't want her position to be threatened in any way β including her eldest son!
β¦β¦ Maybe...... What's more β his queen is also aware of this!
Liu Fuling couldn't help but close his eyes, and when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was hoarse, and he said, "The emperor ...... The queen needs an heir...... Therefore, there will be no woman in the court who will give birth to my heirs...... Isn't it? β
The Son of Heaven spoke slowly, and every word seemed to be said after careful consideration, so he could clearly see that the queen opposite him could not help but tremble as his words slowly spoke.
- Sure enough...... So...... Is it?
Liu Fuling only felt that layers of chill were tightly entangled around him...... If you are in an ice cave......
In the silence, the young queen calmed down, raised her eyes to look at her husband, the two looked at each other for a long time, after all, the little girl couldn't bear it anymore and looked away, but at the same time, she said a word calmly in a calm tone: "Yes! β
