Chapter 161: The Pregnancy of the Final Daughter-in-law
When Luo Cong heard this, he was very surprised.
"Why is that? The King of Qin has always hated the disputes in the palace, and no matter how fierce the ladies are in private, they are all as harmonious as possible when they meet the King of Qin. Could it be that Mrs. Li has frequent contacts with important ministers of the previous dynasty, and when Mrs. Jing is enthroned, he will not get tired of it? ”
What Luo Onion said makes perfect sense, but in my opinion, there is something else in this matter.
"Who can prove that Li Si came to see his granddaughter for the purpose of Mrs. Li's ascension to the throne?" I asked directly.
Luo Cong was silent when he heard this, thinking silently.
"Mrs. Jing has been with the king for so many years, it stands to reason that I have been thinking that she and the king have reached this age, and they should have a status as the main palace a long time ago." I lowered my voice and whispered to Luo Cong: "But do you think, why is she still waiting for the honor to be sealed with me and Mrs. Jean, who are outsiders?" ”
Luo Cong's expression froze, frowned, pondered, and slowly shook his head.
I frowned too, because I didn't know if I was right.
"Above the court, the most taboo is that the king and the king are alone, because this is likely to cause a situation where traitors are in power and the king's power is empty;
The king did not let Mrs. Jing come to the world side by side with her, and I wondered if he had also appropriated the Gangchang of the previous dynasty to the palace for use. ”
This is not to tell Luo Cong anything, it's just a conjecture after I can't understand Yingzheng's logic.
"Madam, are you saying that King Qin wants the courtiers and concubines in the palace to stand side by side, rather than one person on top, so he is always wet with rain and dew, and his attitude towards which lady is much the same?"
After Luo Liang finished speaking, she nodded self-apologetically, but soon she denied me again.
"How can the royal palace be the same as the previous dynasty?
The former dynasty was a place where the Qin king's desire for power was poured in, and the people there were all going to charge into battle; But the slave felt that the palace was only a place for the king's pleasures. Even if it is enjoyable, there should be no troubles, and there should always be a person who comes out to help King Qin restrain the rules.
If Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Li, or other wives are all on an equal footing, then what is the place in this palace? Every master wants to be superior. Enjoying the exclusive love of King Qin, wouldn't this palace be turned upside down, so that King Qin who stepped into it would have a headache and be restless. ”
Luo Onion said the Tao, and her words were also confirmed in my incomprehension.
"It makes sense, so I've been wondering, but I can't figure it out." I was at a loss.
Equally puzzled, Luo Cong looked at me worriedly.
"Madam, Mrs. Li can't get used to seeing our Qixi Palace on weekdays, if she thinks of some clever plan to deal with Mrs. Jing and even take us with her, then how can she prevent it?" Her biggest concern was my safety.
I winked my brow and gave her a reassuring look.
"Didn't you say that? Li Si has been in the palace frequently recently. The king must have been the first to hear of this. If there is really any movement in Zimian Palace that is unfavorable to her, the first person to be suspected is not Mrs. Li?
Therefore, I think, Mrs. Li is so high-profile. Her brains must not have been used to squeeze her people. ”
Although I say this, there are exceptions to everything, and Mrs. Li has a very high heart, and it is possible that she has been irritated by Mrs. Jing's repeated actions of taking a step forward, so I still keep an eye on myself.
"Then, other ladies, such as Mrs. Jean, who had a very unpleasant quarrel with you, will she take advantage of the palace people's attention to make a move at the perfect time in Jingshuxian Palace and Zimian Palace?" Luo Onion's heart is so subtle that it explodes.
I know that Luo Onion is all there to protect me. She wants to take precautions and defend against all bad things in advance.
"Let's wait and see, they are in the dark, we are in the light, if there is no direction to be vigilant, it will be too laborious."
I looked at Luo Onion with a relaxed gaze. smiled at her nervousness: "If they don't have this plan, won't we waste our efforts, not only was we disgusted by them before, but now we have to be burdened by them?" ”
Luo Onion was amused by me when he heard this, pouted, and nodded to listen to me.
The simpler a person's life is, the happier he is, and it was good to be a canary and be raised by the Qin State, but - I can only wait for the unknown and dangerous future while wasting food.
I waited, but this time it wasn't their boring actions to deal with me again, but good news.
Finally Li Wu is pregnant!
Zhong Liwen has been recruiting imperial doctors to enter the palace to ask for a pulse these days, and I thought that she had this premonition or preparation, so she is pregnant today, and I don't think it's a surprise.
The ancients felt that the noisy population gathering would collide with the major events related to "yin and yang" such as "birth, old age, sickness, and death", so it was generally taboo to accept tedious visits in the first pregnancy stage.
When Ying Zheng was about to go, Mrs. Jing went with her, so she invited the ladies of the palace to go with her.
Although I, Concubine Qin, did not do it truthfully, but Concubine Qin's etiquette must be done perfectly, so that I can minimize the trouble for myself - although right and wrong did not go there because of this, so I also followed everyone to Pear Flower Palace to congratulate.
The Ewha Palace dormitory is filled with clusters of flowers, and the whole hall is full of vitality and festivity. In the end, Li Wu was lying on the bed weakly, and when she saw Ying Zheng coming, she was stopped by Ying Zheng when she wanted to give a gift, so she leaned on the back cushion, and the whole person was soft and charming and delicate.
"If you're not in good health, just lie down."
Ying Zheng stood in the middle of the bed, and the ladies who followed behind lined up one after another, and they all cast smiling eyes at Zhong Li's stomach, which was not yet obvious.
In the end, Li Wu calmly and proudly endured it, no matter how true the smile contained in this attention ceremony was.
"When the king came up, so many sisters visited the slave concubine, and the slave concubine was happy." Her voice was soft.
Wandering with a smile in her eyes, it was a happy and peaceful time, but in the end, Li Yan's eyes stopped abruptly when she saw me, and her face became very frightened.
My heart sank, and I instinctively felt that I was going to be in the limelight again.
"The slave concubine deserves to die, and she failed to ask Mrs. Xi for peace in time, because the slave concubine does not know how to be respectful and humble, please forgive Mrs. Xi."
Sure enough, relying on the fact that there is a winner, Li Wu finally embarrassed me.
I secretly gritted my teeth and waited to see what happened.
Ying Zheng was a little puzzled by this sudden situation, and when he saw Zhong Li's expression, he grimaced his face and looked back at me.
There was also a stunned uproar in the hall, and the princesses whispered a few words, and soon all looked at Ying Zheng.
It seems that my popularity is indeed not good, and there should have been someone who came out of the harmonious atmosphere after such an embarrassing situation, but at this time, the ladies who are usually smart and their heads are standing excitedly, and the scene becomes quieter and quieter, and finally falls into a strange silence.
