Chapter 90: The Firstborn Son I
Song Jun didn't move, it was Ma Shiquan talking to Lian'er. Since Ma Shiquan entered the cold palace, in addition to sending rice and grain every day, he rarely talked to her, even if he talked to her, she ignored her, she was a waste concubine, that is to say, there was never a day to come out, whether he stammered or insulted, he had nothing to do with her, just as a noisy crow.
"Manager Ma, Niangniang is worried about Song Guiren, after all, she is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, she always has to take care of one or two, can I go in and ask about the situation and say a few words to Song Guiren?" Lian'er patiently talked to Ma Shiquan.
"What did Miss Lian'er say? Niangniang takes care of her, it is not Niangniang's kindness, thinking of the royal blood, what is she, this is the blessing she has cultivated. Miss Lian'er, please, my old horse is guarding you outside. "Ma Shiquan has been in the palace for decades, and he hasn't seen anything, and it's not so simple to take care of a noble person who has passed down to the world. On the surface of the palace, the warblers and swallows are beautiful, but they are fighting to the death, where will there be any good intentions. The one inside who doesn't say a word on weekdays, but is the most shrewd lord, must have some handle of the Yin nobles, otherwise he will have a prince, and I am afraid that he is also looking forward to death.
Although I think like this in my heart, I can't say this in my mouth, the yin nobles are now the celebrities in front of the emperor, and if they are offended, they still have their own lives, and if they file a complaint, their heads will have to be moved, which is not a joke. So he smiled and opened the small corner door for Lian'er and made a gesture of please.
Lian'er ignored him, entered the small corner gate, and saw that the empty yard was clean, and there was a small forest on one side, which was dark and gloomy. The main hall is a slippery hall, except for the dilapidated appearance, it is no different from other palaces. On the steps at the entrance of the main hall, Song Jun sat against the stone beast on one side, and the beast couldn't see what it was, the beast's head was gone, and there were many pieces on its body. It's terrifying.
Song Jun didn't speak when she saw her come in. A pair of clear eyes slanted at her, and there was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Lian'er remembered the scene when she saw her in the Pear Blossom Pavilion that day, and the pear blossoms fell all over the sky. Her graceful figure danced. Now he is bloated, wearing a washed blue dark coat, sitting on the steps, which looks so sad that it is sad. Originally, it was still a stomach of reluctance. I want to teach this wicked woman a lesson, but now I can't help but feel soft when I see it. Sympathize.
She put the basket she brought on the steps, and said with a slight salute: "The slave has seen the noble lady! ”
Song Jun said lightly: "Miss Lian'er doesn't have to be formal, I have no one to see, who is annoying to see me." Don't bother to salute! ”
Lian'er coughed lightly and said with a smile: "The noble man is joking, this should be a courtesy." Although the emperor asked Niangniang to move to the palace, he has not abolished Niangniang's position. ”
Song Jun ignored her words. only looked at the distant horizon where a touch of red glow was about to disappear, and asked in a voice that seemed to be nothing: "Now that the Yin nobles are beautiful, I heard that she has been in charge of the harem, and it seems that the Queen Mother also likes her very much?" ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, yes, it's just a little tired, the Queen Mother is not forgiving in her years, and she almost doesn't care about the affairs of the palace anymore, she only makes ideas about major matters, and she has to find our nobles for big and small things, which is tired enough. However, our nobles have always remembered the mother, let me take a look, and let the slave and maid spread the word that everything assigned by the mother has been done. Let the mother raise the baby with peace of mind, give birth to an heir for the emperor, and then find a way to let the mother get out of this cold palace. After Lian'er finished what she was about to say in one breath, she took her eyes to see the master's reaction, but saw that she was still expressionless, and her eyes reflected the red glow of the sky, as if with tears, but as calm as a puddle of water.
"Okay, your mother's methods are still amazing, with my current situation, I can see that everyone is hiding, but it is not easy to do this, have you heard who did it?" Song Jun still didn't look at her, and asked in a low voice.
"The slave and maid don't know, but I also heard some gossip, saying that I begged the concubine Feng You, and Feng You begged the prince of Qinghe, which was the prince's request in front of the emperor." Lian'er suddenly felt that she had too much to say, so she closed her mouth, and her face changed suddenly.
Song Jun sighed lightly and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, who can come and see me except for the pig-headed person at the door?" That's the end of it. Thank you mother, I said to reassure her, I am very strict here. After she said this, she waved her hand and said, "Go back!" With great difficulty, he got up and picked up the basket on the ground, held his waist, and walked into the temple.
Lian'er watched her figure disappear, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes, sighed, turned around and went out.
Song Jun entered the inner hall, sat on the couch and was stunned for a long time, his face was pale, and he seemed to have a lot of things on his mind, but he didn't care about them one after another, but he couldn't tell why he was so heavy. Outside the window, the sky had darkened, and the fiery clouds had disappeared from the sky. The creeping creeping in the corner of the temple made her heart clench, and she took out the flint, and lit the lamp, and her eyes were confused, and she looked at the fire for many nights, and kept watching it, and watching, until she fell asleep on the desk. At dawn, tears were already wet on his sleeves.
She remembered that when she was a child, there were many children in the family, and she was the one in the middle, neither big nor small, and no one paid attention to what was good about her, and even her parents sometimes forgot her existence. It wasn't until she grew up and her beauty was revealed that she remembered that she could be allowed to enter the palace in exchange for wealth. She had already done this for them, and as for the future, she could not protect herself, and there was no way to think about their lives or deaths. The word filial piety is easy to say, but it weighs a thousand pounds when it is done. She doesn't regret what she did, she feels that getting rid of Li Meiren's child is something she must do, as for the risk she has to take for this, she doesn't care, she just needs her child to be the emperor's first child, even if she dies after giving birth to him in the end, at least he will be the emperor's eldest son, and this may also be the guarantee after he ascends the throne.
The candle flame flickered, she heard a sound at the door, and saw Ma Shiquan's fat body appear at the door, and snorted coldly, her face was gloomy than the night around her.
"I said Niangniang, I don't ask why this Lian'er girl came, I don't ask what story you have with the Yin nobles, but I have to ask this emperor's heir, I have to take on this relationship here, you don't see the imperial doctor once, if something happens, I can't afford it." Tell me, my mother, when is the day? Ma Shiquan snorted and chirped, and asked unclearly.
"You go and tell the emperor, it's only been a few days, if the emperor is sympathetic to this child, he will send a doctor or a midwife. If you ignore it, it doesn't matter if you don't care about this palace, it's a big deal, our mother and son went together. When he thought of the emperor, Song Jun's heart hurt like a pinprick. No matter what he did wrong, this child Bijian is his biological blood, do you want to accompany yourself to be born in the cold palace and grow up in the cold palace? In the past eight months, I haven't even asked once, and I haven't seen her once, so it's just that, did you forget her?
"Come on, the minister will go back to the emperor, I said Niangniang, it's not that the slave is not good for you, this is also the emperor's meaning, the slave is not allowed to be good to you. I have been frightened for the past few days, and I also feel that my mother seems to be approaching, and I don't even dare to sleep, so I set up a shed outside, and listen to the movements inside every day. If the mother has this, the slave will be relieved, this is the farewell to Da Changqiu. Ma Shiquan seemed to be happy, withdrew from the hall, and trotted to find Zheng Zhong.
Zheng Zhong has not forgotten Song Jun's affairs, although these days the Yin nobles are assistant to the harem, and there are more things to explain, but when it comes to the emperor's heir, he always dare not slack off. He asked Imperial Physician Jia, calculating that the days were just in the past few days, and he was also thinking about when to ask the emperor, when he saw Ma Shiquan coming to find him, he chuckled in his heart and asked, "What, is the master born?" ”
"Not yet, I'm so scared that I don't dare to sleep, although the emperor is ruthless, after all, it is the emperor's blood and bones, what happened, my head can't be saved, today I finally begged the master to spit out, and then I came to ask Da Changqiu to ask the emperor, or send a doctor over, how to keep her mother and son safe!"
Zheng Zhong nodded: "You're right, I'm also worried about this matter, you follow me to Deyang Palace, you can't ask the Yin nobles about this matter, I think I have to ask the emperor and the queen mother what they mean!" ”
The two of them hurried to the Deyang Palace, saw Liu Zhao, and saw that the Yin nobles were waiting for pen and ink next to them, they were all stunned, but the matter could not be delayed, so they knelt down together.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to tell you!" Liu Zhao waved his hand indifferently and said: "Let's all get up and talk, oh, it's Ma Shiquan, why are you so fat, isn't the food in the cold palace too good?" Liu Zhao was in a good mood and joked with Ma Shiquan.
"Your Majesty, the cold dishes and cold rice in the cold palace, the slaves eat well, they all say that the slave is a pig's head, and everything he eats is fragrant.
One sentence made Yin Li and Liu Zhao laugh, Liu Zhao pointed at him and said: "You old immortal, when I was young, you were so fat, and now you are even fatter and don't look good, and you have the face to say, you really eat everything deliciously." ”
Yin Li saw Ma Shiquan for the first time and thought he was still interesting, so he asked, "How is Song Guiren?" How do you come to see the emperor, isn't it Song Guiren who is going to give birth? ”
As soon as the words came out, he saw that Liu Zhao's face changed, and he deeply regretted that he had said the wrong thing.
Zheng Zhong said: "Your Majesty, the Song Guiren has indeed given birth in the past few days, and the minister wants to be related to the emperor's heir, and there can be no accidents, so please ask the emperor's intentions, is it to send a doctor or a midwife?" ”
Liu Zhao glanced at Yin Li, and when he saw her showing concern, he warmed his heart and said: "You let Imperial Doctor Jia go, and a few more palace maids will be transferred to the palace, and the midwife must also go." Clean up the cold palace, this is my first child, and I can't be sloppy, since I didn't kill her, I can't ignore her life at this time, and in the palace, after the child was born, red cloth was hung to show great joy.
