Chapter 58: Flowers Bloom in the Summer

Fuquan was suspicious of Su Wanqing, so what he said was also trying his best to control the proportions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He only said the contradiction between the emperor and the queen mother, and did not mention anything else.

"Little master, do you know why the emperor is so estranged from the queen mother?"

Su Wanqing thought for a moment, "The birth of the emperor did not bring supreme glory to the queen mother, and the birth of Prince Kangmi made her the middle palace in one fell swoop. Because the queen mother gave all her maternal love to her younger brother, the emperor was estranged from her. ”

The orange candlelight reflected Fuquan's old face, the old eunuch's eyes were wrinkled, his face was brown, and he remembered the past, and his eyes couldn't help but be far-reaching and lonely.

"If only it were that simple!" His lamenting voice was mixed with helplessness about the past, "In the tenth year of Longhua, Sejong officially canonized the second daughter of the Zhou Mansion as a nobleman. In August of the following year, the third son of the emperor, who is the current emperor, was promoted to Zhaoyi in one fell swoop. Later, he was also favored until the sixth son of the emperor was reborn in the nineteenth year, and he was directly crowned queen. What the little lord said is not bad. But the little master ignored a problem, a very important one. ”

"What?"

"Even if the mother gives all her love to her brother, it is also the brother and sister of the mother's compatriots, why do you hate it so much?"

The old eunuch was heartbroken, which made Su Wanqing feel that there was something hidden in the matter, but she was about to break her head, but she didn't come up with a reason.

Fu Quan's voice gradually became low, but his words were very shocking, "Because that younger brother is not the blood of the former emperor at all!" ”

"What?!" Su Wanqing was surprised and said, "My father-in-law is bluffing me, who doesn't know that the former emperor favored Prince Kangmi deeply, how could he not be the blood of the first emperor?" ”

"Naturally, the old slave will not talk nonsense. Lafayette had been recuperating in Longhua for 17 years to Chengde Mansion, when the emperor had entered the barracks, and the old slave was also assigned to serve the queen mother. At that time, Prince Li was ordered to be stationed there. So back and forth..."

The next words were hard to say. Su Wanqing was at a loss, she had come to investigate the secret of Chu Xiuze's birth, but she inadvertently learned about another secret. How romantic is this Empress Dowager Zhou's nature?! Before seducing the king of Nanchu County, she entered the harem of Emperor Xia, and later got together with her brother-in-law, no wonder her aunt said that she was debauched by nature!

"Wait! Father-in-law Fu said, the Queen Mother is recuperating in Chengde, and you are serving closely, is this really the case? Su Wanqing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve robe.

"It's... Little Lord, this is..."

Su Wanqing smiled inexplicably, squinted and asked, "At that time, the Queen Mother was pregnant and recuperating in Chengde Mansion?" ”

Fu Quan was terrified, his face was pale and weak at the mention of this, and his lips trembled up and down. Seeing his appearance, Su Wanqing already knew the answer, and she bowed slightly, "Don't worry, Father-in-law Fu, Wanqing didn't ask anything just now, and you didn't say anything." ”

"You... Who are you? "The matter back then was a forbidden secret, and the emperor secretly executed so many people back then, if it weren't for the queen mother's efforts to protect it, he would have been a pile of white bones at this moment.

"I'm Jia Shunyi! Father-in-law Fu, I came to you today to ease the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, have you forgotten? She replied playfully, Fuquan had begun to doubt her, and it was superfluous to say anything at the moment.

Fu Quan was so angry that he stretched out his finger and was about to scold loudly, Su Wanqing rushed in front and said, "Don't worry, Father-in-law Fu, I won't shake it out if you don't intend to say it tonight." If you decide that I have ill intentions, go to the emperor to admonish me, as long as you believe that the emperor will believe it. ”

Of course, the emperor would not believe it, and there was very little trust between him and Shoukang Palace. At this moment, Fu Quan realized that he was sloppy, and only then did Su Wanqing say that it was because he was worried about falling out of favor, and he actually forgot that the little master was pregnant. If you can give birth to an heir, how can you say that you have fallen out of favor!

Su Wanqing didn't want to tear her face with Fuquan so early, she still repeated her "purpose", and promised not to divulge any secrets, and only dared to leave after Fuquan's mood stabilized.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining, and after the fog in the early morning cleared, the sunlight poured down, refracted through the prismatic glass window, and sprinkled on the body with warmth. Su Wanqing changed into a newly cut robe from the Shangyi Bureau, covered with a cloak of cotton wool, and went to the Qianqing Palace.

The tile roof of Qianqing Palace is made of yellow glazed tiles, which is golden and sparkling under the sunlight. Within the red wall, you can see the palace on the white marble steps, with mountains and mountains, high and low. Every few steps, there are guards standing, and under the carving of the dragon in the green beam, it looks more and more erect.

By the time the emperor had finished meeting with the minister, it had already passed three quarters. The emperor breathed a rare sigh of relief, took off his boots and lay down leisurely, "It's really not easy for me to be the emperor, I haven't been idle for a moment from morning to night, for a while there is a snow disaster in southern Jiangnan, and for a while there is a rebellion in northern Xinjiang, and if there is a bad arrangement, it will cause civil unrest." ”

"There is a saying that 'capable people work hard', and the emperor has become the king of the ages who has unified the north and the south, so naturally the burden is heavy." Su Wanqing also took off his shoes and sat beside him, bending over and massaging.

Seeing that her posture was quite uncomfortable, the emperor sat up and pressed her hand, "Now that you are pregnant, you don't have to work so hard, and I am not so tired." ”

"This is a matter for concubines, why bother?" She lowered her head and smiled lightly, but it was not from the heart.

The emperor had already seen this, and she had also heard about the arrangements for the war in northern Xinjiang, Song Kang was a rare handsome talent, not to mention that he had fought bloody battles in northern Xinjiang for many years, and he knew the local situation very well. It is very appropriate to appoint Song Kang as the marshal, but there is only one point, if Song Kang makes meritorious service, Song Xintong's favor must be restored immediately. She is a delicate and transparent person, how can she not see it, probably because she is flustered, so she can't help but come to herself to explore the truth!

"I remember that you had a good relationship with Concubine Rong before?"

"What Concubine Rong, the emperor forgot, Sister Rong was promoted to the throne a few years ago."

The emperor patted his head, and indeed forgot about it, and continued, "Whether you give birth to a child first, or Rong Chongyuan gives birth to a child first, I will not lose my favor for you. No matter what the future holds, you must believe in me, okay? ”

The emperor's words have ulterior motives, they are nothing more than to explain in advance, and it will not seem too hasty to wait until Song Xintong returns to favor. Su Wanqing pulled the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were red, and she said in a suppressed voice, "The concubine understands, so naturally she will not embarrass the emperor." ”

The emperor saw all her grievances in his eyes, and deliberately comforted her, saying, "You have to be in a good mood when you are pregnant with a child, you haven't stepped out of the palace for almost a year, I will take you out of the palace to walk around in a few days, the world of the capital is interesting, you will definitely like it." ”
