Inside the palace, now the emperor's body is slowly recovering, and he can already walk slowly. After the emperor recovered, he did not let the crown prince supervise the country. The emperor who regained power examined Liu Yan's governance during the period when he didn't care about the government. The results made him very satisfied. Liu Yan did not use this period to promote his own people and attack the old ministry of King Qi, but did some real things seriously. For example, some problems have been solved about the rewards for the Northwest Army, as well as the supply of food and grass for the Northwest Army. There are also a few places where there are not big or small disasters, which have also been dealt with by Liu Yan, and disaster relief and relief are all carried out in an orderly manner. The Emperor couldn't help but nod. This son himself has always been neglected, but he didn't expect that in addition to his good looks, he is open-minded and forbearing, and among his sons, he is really not so capable.

After the emperor returned to the government, although he did not let the prince supervise the country, he also let the prince Liu Yan continue to follow the court every day, and often dealt with some specific things for the prince.

In the harem, after the sealing ceremony, the new queen Empress Chen, graced the harem and promoted some concubines. Among them, Zhao Chonghua became Zhao Concubine. One of the Chen concubine sisters became the new Chen Defei, and the other became the new Chen Shufei. Shi Guiren improved even more quickly, because she was pregnant, the emperor was very happy, although he didn't see that it was a boy or a girl, the emperor still named her as Chen Guifei. At this point, in the harem, the important positions are all Queen Chen's people. Empress Chen is even more handy in dealing with the affairs in the harem at this time, and she is powerful for a while.

Of course, there are also frustrated people among these people, who are the previous concubines. Qian Shufei. Concubine Qian Shufei was Queen Chen's earliest follower. But later, Qian Shufei followed Wan Guifei, although Qian Shufei made a great contribution in exposing Wan Guifei, but I don't know why, the emperor not only did not favor her, but annoyed her very much, and gave her no face several times. The smart and clever Concubine Qian naturally knows. The emperor put all the hatred of the loss of his lover on her. The people in her palace were very worried. Only Qian Shufei didn't care at all. She slowly transported the valuable things in her palace, the acquiescence and help of Empress Guò Chen out of the palace. Half of it was given to her mother's family, and half was given to the palace maids and eunuchs who served her in the palace. In particular, the big palace maid gets the most. and was also released from the palace by her to live. After dealing with this qiē, Qian Shufei hanged herself.

Although the emperor still hated Qian Shufei for exposing Wan Guifei and indirectly leading to the death of the Ying family, he saw the previously favored Qian Shufei die so tragically. I was still moved by compassion. He ordered a thick burial and rewarded the people of the Qian family. Empress Chen came to thank her for following her first. The second is to thank her for helping except for Concubine Wan, and the third is very sympathetic to her plight, besides, she left to make room for her niece. It's really time to leave, so Queen Chen is very dedicated to her funeral. The handling was very grand, and it was like the emperor asking for an honor to promote Concubine Qian Shu to a concubine. Buried with the rites of a concubine.

Shi Guifei was raising in the palace, gossiping with the palace maid Cuiyu: "Hey, this Qian Guifei is really pitiful, what about the glory behind her?" Isn't it childless and lifeless? ”

Cuiyu immediately stopped talking when she heard this, this topic was too heavy to discuss with Shi Guifei, who was pregnant. Thinking of this, Cuiyu hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Recently, there have been a lot of concubines in the palace who have been promoted, and there is a lot of joy everywhere. ”

Shi Guifei smiled. Jade continued: "Of course, the happiest thing is the Hall of Pleasure. Niangniang suddenly became a noble concubine, how many levels did she jump in between? Well, let me count. ”

After saying that, Jade really raised her fingers and counted them. Shi Guifei looked interesting, her frowning brows unfolded, Cuiyu counted for a while, and saw that the master was happy, so she said: "Ah, this time I skipped Chonghua, Ronghua, Zhaoyi, and the nine concubines, and became the concubine, or the head of the four concubines, even Zhao Chonghua at the beginning could only be willing to live under the mother, and he didn't even get a concubine, just a concubine." Also, the niece of the queen's mother, the Chen sisters, who are deeply favored by the emperor, are only concubines and concubines, although they are also concubines, but they are behind the concubines. Niangniang is really one person under ten thousand people. ”

Shi Guifei laughed and said, "It's not the blessing of the dragon seed in the belly. ”

Cuiyu said: "That is, for our Yiqing Palace, the little prince carried by Niangniang is the most expensive, Niangniang must let go of her arms and think more about happy things, so that it is beneficial to prenatal education." ”

Shi Guifei said: "Hey, don't say it's the little prince, in fact, I know, this baby must be pregnant with a princess." ”

Cuiyu's face changed, and she hurriedly said: "The imperial doctor also said that the month is too shallow to see, how can Niangniang say that?" ”

Shi Guifei smiled and said, "Silly girl, do you know why I can become a concubine?" Of course, it is thanks to the blessing of this dragon species, but the people who gave birth to children in the palace are not without the biological mother of the five princes and have not been mixed into this position. And the biological mother of the second prince, King Zhou, is not as high as mine, why do you let me sit on this concubine who is above 10,000 people under one person? It's because the Imperial Doctor has already seen that my baby is a princess. ”

Cuiyu looked puzzled: "How is this possible?" Hasn't the palace always been more expensive than the mother? Giving birth to a princess and giving birth to a prince are very different? ”

Shi Guifei smiled coldly and said: "At this time and that time, the general situation is that mothers are more expensive than children, and it is better to give birth to ten princesses than to give birth to one prince." But now the situation is different. The emperor is not in good health, the spring and autumn period has flourished, the crown prince's position has been settled again, and the storage position is stable, at this time, the princes are not welcomed. You see, because the crown prince is the fourth prince, the second prince is immediately deserted in front of the door, and it is not even as good as the ordinary clan. Because he had fought against the prince before, it was on the side of King Qi. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future, King Zhou's life will be even more difficult. Therefore, in this harem, King Zhou's biological mother is not welcomed. In the future, after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, King Zhou's biological mother will definitely be the first to be driven out of the palace and live with King Zhou. If you can live in peace from now on, it is not bad to leave the palace, but King Zhou is so untreated by the prince, can he live well in the future? King Zhou is not good, can King Zhou's biological mother get a good death? ”

Jade thought about it and nodded.

Shi Guifei continued: "The fifth prince is young and did not participate in the battle for succession, so he did not offend the prince, but he is also one of the heirs to the throne. How is it possible to rise to the position of the biological mother of the fifth prince again, and now their mother and son are living in the palace with trepidation, don't you see it? ”

Jade nodded hurriedly.

Shi Guifei continued: "Then I am pregnant. If I am pregnant with a prince, wouldn't I be the heir to the throne? Aren't the queen and the crown prince afraid? I will never be elevated. However, all of a sudden, I became a concubine above 10,000 people under one person, so it can be seen that I am pregnant with a princess. According to the rules of our Great Chu Dynasty, the princess has always been powerful and favored, and the relationship between the princess and the prince and the emperor in the past dynasties is very good. Look at it now, how powerful is the eldest princess in our current court? How powerful is Princess Lichuan? The reason why the queen can become the queen is half because of the Chen family, and half because the emperor's favorite is Princess Lichuan. Now the one I am pregnant with is the emperor's old son, so naturally the emperor is very happy and pampers more. But if it is a prince, can the queen and the crown prince protect me so much and give birth to my position? Because the imperial doctor has already sued the queen and the crown prince, I am a princess. Naturally, they are happy to give me a high position, and after the princess is born in the future, she will be close to the prince and become the prince's assistant. ”

Cuiyu suddenly realized and said, "In this way, it is better to give birth to a princess than to give birth to a prince?" ”

Shi Guifei said, "Of course. If I was pregnant with a prince, the most indispensable thing in this harem was the means, I might have miscarried a long time ago, how many concubines in the palace were pregnant after so many years, why did the emperor only have five princes? ”

Cuiyu smiled and said: "It's really, look at the present, the emperor now loves Niangniang very much, he has to visit Niangniang every day, and there are rewards every day." We moved from that side hall to this gorgeous palace of pleasure, and now the treasury of the palace of pleasure is filled with things that the emperor has given us. And our Shi family is all stained with Niangniang. The master's official position has also been promoted, and several disciples in the clan have embarked on their official careers, so it is really good to give birth to a princess. ”

Shi Guifei smiled and said, "Yes, actually, this is the best." In the future, our whole family will be blessed with this princess I gave birth to. If the prince wants this little princess to be his arm in the future, he will naturally cultivate the power of the little princess, and my mother's family will be able to follow suit. Have you ever heard that the crown prince will cultivate the power of his brothers? ”

Cuiyu said: "Not to mention the power of cultivating brothers, it's too late to suppress it." ”

Shi Guifei said: "Yes, and I think that because of this little princess, my life will be better and better in the future." In the future, as long as I take care of the little princess, even if the emperor has a case, I can stay in the palace, be a concubine, and enjoy the honor. When the little princess got married, the dowry of the princesses of the Great Chu Dynasty has always been rich, and I followed the princess out of the palace to the princess's mansion, and it was indispensable to be prosperous and rich, although this day is not as good as the queen, but it is much better than the biological mother of King Zhou and the five princes. ”

After speaking, there was a yearning on his face. (To be continued)
