Chapter 38: The Alliance Collapses

"Son!" Li Zhi was overjoyed, "You said it's a son?" ”

Wu Mei glanced at him coquettishly and gently untied the baby's swaddling clothes. Li Zhi glanced at his son and looked at her, smiling from ear to ear. As soon as the queen entered the door, she was about to say two words of congratulations, but she was choked back by a "son". She crept against the wall, like someone completely unrelated.

"Good! I want to talk about meritorious deeds! Everyone who helps Zhaoyi deliver babies has a share! As soon as the holy mouth was opened, they all fell to their knees, but no one dared to ask for a reward, because they did not help in any way in the delivery.

Tang Ying saw that the queen's face turned pale, and she seemed to be worried about something, and slowly had a plan. Looking at Wu Mei again, her face was full of the joy of being a first-time mother, as if yesterday's horror was a dream.

She's still gritting her teeth in the morning! Aren't you ready to be pampered today?

I only heard her smile and speak: "Everyone has worked hard, and the reward is naturally indispensable." The slaves below breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to thank them. She was able to suppress her anger and take the opportunity to win people's hearts, Tang Ying really had to admire.

"Shadow." Suddenly she heard the call, and she hurried over. Wu Mei took her hand, her eyes were already filled with tears, "Bixia was not by her side last night, thanks to Ying's continuous relief, this only kept our mother and son safe." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Zhi looked at Tang Ying, she hadn't replied yet, and the palace maids below nodded yes one after another, and some people danced and depicted it, as if they were really there.

Li Zhi couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled her over and said, "In this way, Shadow is the number one hero." Say, "What reward do you want?" ”

She looked at Wu Mei, Wu Mei nodded at her, and there was infinite friendship in her big moist eyes. Sharing happiness is not an empty phrase. But she didn't know what to say for a while, so she replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, can I keep it?" ”

"Good, good!" Li Zhi happily pointed to the little baby and said, "Look, who does my son look like more?" Tang Ying tilted his head and looked at it carefully, and replied sweetly: "The nose is like the emperor, and the mouth is like a mother." Eye...... It's not open yet. I'll tell Bixia when I open it. ”

Li Zhi listened to hahadaxiao, "Okay! You're so young that you know you can't slip around and shoot horses, and I'm so happy! Come, I will reward you with another honor, and give my child a name! ”

The name has long been a ready-made one in history, but Tang Ying never expected that she would be the one who named the child. Everyone waited with bated breath for this 9-year-old girl to name the prince, only to hear her say slowly: "Hong." ”

"Hiro? Li Hong ......" Li Zhi asked with interest: "Why did you think of this word?" ”

Tang Ying said: "Hongshi, Daya." This is the first child of Zhaoyi Niangniang and the emperor, and she will definitely achieve great things when she grows up. ”

Li Zhi nodded frequently, "Okay, that's a good point!" He held the baby in his arms and looked at it again and again, and said lovingly, "Hong." From now on, you will be called Hong! ”

The servants and doctors of the whole room fell to their knees and cheered. Queen Wang also had to force a smile to come over and say goodbye. Li Zhi just nodded perfunctorily to her, and soon re-created an aura of "no one else" outside him, Wu Mei and the child. It was Wu Mei who unexpectedly handed the baby in her arms to the queen, "Wu Mei can have today's honor thanks to the queen's care, if the mother doesn't dislike it, you can hug Hong." ”

The queen was already a little embarrassed, but after listening to Wu Mei's kind proposal, her cheeks turned red. But Wu Mei was so sincere that her eyes were about to burst into tears. She had no choice but to take the swaddling clothes.

Tang Ying leaned on the emperor's lap, staring at her with big shining eyes, looking innocent, but in fact, he was staring at her every little expression to find clues.

When Queen Wang first took the baby, her expression was still a little restrained, but the moment her little hand stretched out of the swaddling clothes, her expression was as tender as looking at her own child. However, after a while, a trace of sorrow shrouded her eyebrows, and she reluctantly handed the swaddling clothes back to Wu Mei.

Tang Ying guessed that Queen Wang was indeed involved in last night's incident, but she seemed to have remorse, not like an incurable person.

Just as he was thinking, a delicate laugh floated in from outside the house. Concubine Xiao Shu, who was dressed up, walked in with a curly manner, and swept all the people in the room with her big eyes, looking very longing.

As soon as she entered the door, the scent with the charm spell immediately rushed towards the emperor. Fortunately, Tang Ying was already wary, and the emperor just nodded at her, and went to tease the little baby in Wu Mei's arms again.

Concubine Xiao Shu saw that the emperor did not fall into her "charm", and she was very angry when she received a cold reception. Seeing that Wu Mei was not only unharmed, but even the prince was born, she was even more angry. However, she restrained herself and did not lose her temper, and spread the evil fire to the queen and queen, and her mouth was, "Yo, congratulations to the emperor for getting another prince." Queen Mother, you have to hurry, after all, the adopted son is not as good as the biological one! ”

Tang Ying secretly guessed that in yesterday's battle, Concubine Xiao Shufei and Queen Wang must have reached some kind of agreement. If Queen Wang hadn't deliberately helped, she wouldn't have used a blindfold to fence Ruyiju to cover up Concubine Xiao's crime. Now that the two have failed, the already unstable alliance immediately falls apart. Concubine Xiao Shu complained that the queen was smiling, and let the masters outside enter the palace to save Wu Mei. Queen Wang also blamed Concubine Xiao Shu's demon method for not being strong enough, and she wasted a great opportunity in vain!

Queen Wang herself doesn't have any Taoism, and the method of blinding is also the method given by her uncle Lord Liu. As a result, last night, Li Chunfeng broke this method under the leadership of Xiao Meng, and Lord Liu immediately noticed that something was wrong. On the one hand, he felt that it was not worth it to bet on the Wang clan to be destroyed in the harem struggle, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the masters who broke his magic circle. Therefore, he warned Queen Wang that she should stop fighting with Wu Mei and just be alone. Anyway, she is now the queen of the main palace, and she has an adopted son, the crown prince, and she also has the support of the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, is she still afraid of the little Wu Mei?

In the face of Concubine Xiao Shu's fierce words, the queen smiled, and turned to Li Zhi and said: "Bixia, Zhaoyi's sister has a new Lin'er, and the palace maid of Ru has to add some." The concubine sees that Ruyiju is too small and not worthy of the prince's daughter, so it is better to clean up the Zhaoqing Hall in the north for her sister, okay? ”

Wu Mei and Concubine Xiao Shufei were both shocked when they heard this. Zhaoqing Palace, there are two attics of Ningxiang and Ningyun in the east and west, and the south is the Lingyan Pavilion that is famous for storing the portrait of the founding hero, and it is a palace with extremely elegant scenery of Taiji Palace.

Concubine Xiao Shu wanted to live here very much, but was blocked by Queen Wang for various reasons, and today she gave Wu Mei so easily?

Queen Wang's smile did not change, waiting for the emperor to speak. That kind of grace seems to show Concubine Xiao Shu that she is the master of the harem.

Li Zhi's eyes were always tied to the little prince's body, and he replied without raising his head: "Okay!" The queen quickly sent someone to prepare and move over as soon as possible! ”
