At the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass

***

After arranging the matter, Ji Xiaotang didn't pay attention to Zheng Zi, but took the fragrant tea handed over by Song Xinyue, took a sip slowly, and then put it down.

Song Xinyue took the teacup respectfully with both hands and handed it to the little girl who was serving on the side, and then took a step back and stood still.

Being able to serve Ji Xiaotang personally is a real honor for the two side concubines of the palace.

Under normal circumstances, even if Ji Xiaotang allows the two of them to be in her room, she doesn't want the two of them to serve, only occasionally when they are in a good mood, or when the two of them are particularly sensible, they will be allowed to serve closely.

Now, Zheng Zi is kneeling underground, but Song Xinyue can serve Ji Xiaotang's tea, and the dignity of the two of them is immediately revealed.

Ji Xiaotang drank the fragrant tea and moistened his throat, and then slowly looked at Zheng Zi again.

"Now that you know you're wrong, what else do you have to report to me?" Ji Xiaotang asked Zheng Zi.

Zheng Zi's heart trembled slightly, but she really didn't dare to tell Ji Xiaotang about that incident.

Ji Xiaotang saw that Zheng Zi said very well, but he didn't mention anything about the medicine in Qin Zhen's tea, so he knew that Zheng Zi didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin.

"Bring people in!" Ji Xiaotang commanded.

After a while, Wang Ruhai was brought in with a girl wearing a parrot green jacket, and with this girl ~ came in, as well as the two imperial doctors of the palace.

Next, even if Zheng Zi wants to confess, there is no more chance.

Wang Ruhai reported to Ji Xiaotang how he was instructed by Qin Zhen. went to Zheng Zi's house, and through Zheng Zi's henchmen, he found the tea root that they hadn't had time to completely destroy. It was confirmed that it was Qin Zhen who drank it in Zheng Zi's house.

Subsequently, how to prove what kind of ingredients are contained in the so-called tea through the identification of the imperial doctor, and how some of the ingredients will damage the human body.

After hearing this, Ji Xiaotang's face sank like water, but Zheng Zi's face was colorless.

This time. Zheng Zi didn't dare to hide it anymore.

“…… It's just a recipe for giving birth to a child, and it will never cause any damage to the prince's body. Even if you lend a thousand guts to the concubine, the concubine will not dare and will not do so. Please princess Mingjian! ”

Zheng Zi admitted. The tea did have ingredients in it, but it was not a harmful thing, but a recipe for having a child that she had worked so hard to find.

At this time, Zheng Zi didn't dare to push Fang Zi on someone who didn't have to. He confessed that she had begged it from home.

"Princess Su used this method. Yu'er. ”

Zheng Zi wanted to use this example to prove that Fang Zi was indeed reliable and effective, and that it did not cause any harm to Qin Zhen's body.

Ji Xiaotang sneered.

"Whether there is any harm to the prince's body, it doesn't matter what others say, it doesn't matter if the prince says it. You want to invite pets, you want to have children, I don't blame you, which backyard woman doesn't want to. It's just human nature, and I used to be able to tolerate it. It can still be tolerated in the future. Not only that, but I also hope that you can open up branches and leaves for the prince as soon as possible, so that our palace can be more prosperous. ”

"However, secretly giving the prince ~ medicine, not only the prince, but I must not tolerate it! What did you do as a prince! If we tolerate this matter, we can't say it well, when will the prince fall victim to your poisonous hands! ”

"Fang Zi is indeed safe, if you don't believe it, you can ask Princess Su to ask. Whether it is a concubine or not, you should report it to the prince and the princess in advance. While begging for mercy, she told Ji Xiaotang that she was willing to show Fang Zi.

Zheng Zi hopes to impress Ji Xiaotang with the birth of a child, so that Ji Xiaotang can open up to her.

But Ji Xiaotang was not tempted ~ at all.

"On the side, the heir is important, but the more important thing is the prince's body!"

Ji Xiaotang ordered Zheng Zi to be locked up in the firewood room, waiting for further distribution, and sent people to Zheng Mian's house to reprimand Zheng Mian and his wife.

This matter, because of Zheng Zi's words, also implicated the Su Wangfu.

Ji Xiaotang groaned slightly, and did not change his clothes, so he took someone to hurry to the palace.

On this day, a small event happened in the capital.

Princess An Ji Xiaotang made a big fuss in the palace.

People who saw this with their own eyes were secretive, but those who just heard about it said it vividly, and there are legends that Ji Xiaotang made a big fuss in Su Wangfu, not only smashed a lot of things, but also beat Zheng Gui, the princess of Su.

After Ji Xiaotang made a big fuss about King Su's Mansion, he did not go back to his own King An's Mansion, but went directly to the palace.

She wore only homely clothes and hardly any decorations, but when she took out the gold medal at her waist, no one dared to stop her. Empress Dowager Han had already received the report, and she specially asked people to go to the gate of the palace and take Ji Xiaotang into Cining Palace.

Ji Xiaotang had tears on his face, so he went to the Empress Dowager Han to complain.

This case not only sued Zheng Mian's family, but also sued King Su and Princess Su. Ji Xiaotang didn't specifically mention Zheng Zi, because although she herself was not good at dealing with Zheng Mian's family and Su Wang's family, she could dispose of Zheng Zi as she liked.

Empress Dowager Han gently persuaded Ji Xiaotang for a long time, and said that she would definitely make decisions for Ji Xiaotang. She summoned King Su Qin Lin and Princess Su Zheng Gui into the palace and reprimanded the two of them in person.

Qin Lin and Zheng Gui both said that they were wronged, and they didn't know that Zheng Zi gave Qin Zhen ~ medicine in order to ask for a son. Zheng Gui also swore that she had never used any child-giving medicine.

"If I eat it, how dare I use something like that for the prince."

Not only did Qin Lin and Zheng Gui flatly deny it, but when Empress Dowager Han summoned Zheng Mian and his wife into the palace, Zheng Mian also flatly denied it, saying that he didn't know anything about it.

"If you know, you will definitely stop it, and you will not be so ignorant and bold again." Zheng Mian deliberately emphasized the word ignorance, it seems that Zheng Zi did such a thing, mainly because of ignorance.

Finally, I asked Mrs. Zheng Mian.

Everyone else denied it, and Zheng Mian's wife Song took everything over. She told Empress Dowager Han that Zheng Zi told her the idea of asking for a son. She wanted to help her daughter, so she found a prescription for a child-giving medicine.

As for Zheng Gui, he ate this recipe, so he was able to give birth to Qin Yu. She made it up in order to make Zheng Zi more confident.

Song said that apart from her and Zheng Zi, no one else knew about this matter. And she also repeatedly emphasized that she dared to hand it over to Zheng Zi only after she was sure that Fang Zi did not have any damage to people's bodies.

In Song's words, Zheng Zi is Qin Zhen's side concubine. The life and death honor and disgrace in this life are on Qin Zhen's body, not to mention that she doesn't have that guts, just for Zheng Zi. She would never want Qin Zhen to have something happen.

Song kowtowed to Empress Dowager Han, and then kowtowed to Ji Xiaotang, saying that it was all her fault, and Zheng Zi was also deceived by her. Empress Dowager Han and Ji Xiaotang have to deal with it. Just dispose of her, no matter what kind of disposition, she has no complaints.

The Song family kowtowed in Cining Palace and was covered with blood, and wanted to die on the pillar of Cining Palace while people were not paying attention.

Empress Dowager Han finally made a decision, the Song family was taken away from his life, ordered to think about it behind closed doors at home, and Zheng Mian was demoted three levels in a row. was fined for one year, but he still remained in the position of the head of the household.

As for Qin Lin and Zheng Gui, who have skimmed themselves cleanly. Nor did they escape punishment.

Empress Dowager Han reprimanded the two of them again and fined them for two years.

There is also a Zheng Zi, Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang's opinion on how she wanted to punish Zheng Zi.

"It's all up to the Queen Mother." Ji Xiaotang only said.

Empress Dowager Han sent someone to pass on the decree, reprimanded Zheng Zi fiercely, and fined Zheng Zi for two years, and ordered Zheng Zi to be grounded for three months, during which he could not enjoy the treatment of a side concubine.

"It's also their mother and daughter who are confused that they do such a thing. Now that I have learned such a lesson, I will definitely never dare to do it again in the future. "Empress Dowager Han meant to let Ji Xiaotang give up.

Ji Xiaotang also nodded.

Empress Dowager Han's punishment of everyone, in Ji Xiaotang's opinion, is not painful or itchy. Empress Dowager Han said it nicely, but she never really planned to call the shots for her. Ji Xiaotang knows this very well in his heart.

However, she made a fuss like this, and asked the Empress Dowager Han to call the shots, and she didn't plan to punish these people heavily because of this.

Ji Xiaotang just used the topic to play and make a gesture.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang nodded, Empress Dowager Han praised her virtuousness again and again, and rewarded Ji Xiaotang with a lot of things as a comfort, and when Qin Zhen came into the palace to pick up Ji Xiaotang, Empress Dowager Han let Ji Xiaotang go back.

When they returned to the Xuchun Hall of King An's Mansion, the girls immediately fetched water and served Ji Xiaotang to wash up first.

Ji Xiaotang washed his face and didn't make up, so he sat on the kang with a plain face.

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang and smiled.

Ji Xiaotang's face was white and red, and he really couldn't see how sad he was, let alone haggard.

"How?" Qin Zhen only asked two words.

"It's going well." Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly, "The most satisfying thing about this matter should be the Queen Mother." ”

Ji Xiaotang asked the Empress Dowager Han to call the shots, and the Empress Dowager Han looked very distressed Ji Xiaotang, and was also angry about this matter, but Ji Xiaotang could still see that the Empress Dowager Han was not hiding a very perfect joy.

That's right, this incident made Empress Dowager Han very happy.

Qin Zhen's back house was restless, and he also pulled Qin Lin and Zheng Gui because of this, which should be the most happy thing for Empress Dowager Han.

"The Song family took care of everything, King Su and Princess Su were completely cleared, although the Queen Mother took the opportunity to reprimand the two, but she could not be further punished, if the Queen Mother had any dissatisfaction for a few days, it was only this matter."

"She should be content, too." Qin Zhen laughed.

Qin Lin's prestige in the court is increasing, and the princess Zheng Gui is two things~ things are not leaking, and it is difficult for Empress Dowager Han to find an opportunity, and she can justifiably send two people.

Today's opportunity is very rare for Empress Dowager Han.

"She gave you so many good things, not mainly to appease you, but to thank you for giving her such an opportunity." Qin Zhen continued to laugh.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.

"There's another reason, she probably likes me more." In the eyes of Empress Dowager Han, this matter is clear proof that Ji Xiaotang can't control the backyard of King An's mansion. Anyway, Ji Xiaotang is still young, and her family background is too simple, so she has never seen the complexity and cruelty of the back house.

From this point of view, Ji Xiaotang is a little naïve. And when the naïve Ji Xiaotang encountered something, the first thing he thought of was to go to the Empress Dowager Han to make the decision.

Of course, Empress Dowager Han will like her even more because of this.

Because this way she is not only easier to control, but also more convenient to use.

Today's thing. In the opinion of Empress Dowager Han, it should be just the beginning, and it should be the future. She will think that Ji Xiaotang will create more opportunities for her in the future.

Moreover, today's events undoubtedly reveal another thing to the outside world.

That is, Qin Zhen has no heirs, and there is no successor to King An's Mansion.

Even those who planned to follow Qin Zhen saw such a situation, but they were afraid that they would hesitate in their hearts.

There are no heirs in the harem. There are no heirs in King An's Mansion, only King Su's Mansion has heirs.

The Su Wangfu is bound to attract more people's attention, in comparison. The brilliance of King An's Mansion will be even darker.

What others can see, Empress Dowager Han can see very clearly.

And this is Ji Xiaotang's main purpose.

Bide.

This is the strategy that Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen have already decided, everything Ji Xiaotang has done today. All for this purpose. But. The whole thing was not planned by the two of them.

It was Zheng Zi's stupidity that provided them with the best opportunity.

However, today's events have another effect.

"Lord, it's time for King An's Mansion to have an heir." Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen and saw that Qin Zhen was in a good mood, so he slowly tentatively spoke.

"Hmm." Qin Zhen nodded, "Xiaotang, you think so too." That would be great. ”

Looking at Qin Zhen's shining eyes, Ji Xiaotang knew. Qin Zhen must have thought badly.

"The two side concubines, the Zheng family can't be trusted. There is also a Concubine Song, I have been paying attention to her, and she is still a safe person. Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen's face while speaking.

Qin Zhen's face was a little unpleasant.

"In addition to Concubine Song, several concubines in the palace are also old men who serve the prince, and they are all safe and reliable. If the prince still doesn't like it, I'll ...... again."

Ji Xiaotang wanted to say that if Qin Zhen was not satisfied with the women in the mansion, she could find a few more women with good looks and good birth for Qin Zhen to enter the door, and give birth to an heir for Qin Zhen for King An's Mansion earlier.

However, before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Qin Zhen waving his hand.

Qin Zhen's face was serious.

"Xiaotang, I just want the eldest son." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang that his firstborn son must be from Ji Xiaotang's belly.

Qin Zhen doesn't want his eldest son, which is why Song Xinyue and Zheng Zi are both older than Ji Xiaotang when they enter the door, and they are older and more suitable for childbirth, but they have never been pregnant~ The fundamental reason.

Because Qin Zhen didn't want them to get pregnant, he couldn't control them to give birth to boys and girls, so he had to control them not to give birth.

"Xiaotang, do you understand what I mean?" Qin Zhen raised his hand and gently pressed Ji Xiaotang's shoulder, letting Ji Xiaotang face him. "I did this not only to uphold orthodoxy, but also out of my heart."

"I hope that all my children will be born to you."

Qin Zhen's tone was low, and his voice fell to the ground, and there was a brief silence between the two of them.

Ji Xiaotang was slightly stunned.

Qin Zhen's identity, saying such words, is almost a confession and promise of a lifetime and a couple.

"Lord Wang......" Ji Xiaotang na.

"Xiaotang, have you forgotten what I said?"

"Ah Zhen......" Ji Xiaotang changed his words.

Qin Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

"Ah Zhen, I ......, it's not that I don't want to give you a son, but until now, I haven't been pregnant~. You know, I've seen a doctor, and I've asked my mother and grandmother......"

The imperial doctor diagnosed Ji Xiaotang's pulse and said that Ji Xiaotang's body was completely fine.

And Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji also said similar things to Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaotang is still too young, although he is taller and plump than his peers, but his body is not fully developed.

This is the only reason why Ji Xiaotang is not pregnant yet.

And Mrs. Ji Er also told Ji Xiaotang in private that not getting pregnant ~ so early may not be a good thing for Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang's body, giving birth in another year or two, is the best.

In that way, you can reduce a lot of the risk of childbirth.

For a woman, giving birth is equivalent to going to the ghost gate before going to the gate. Every day, women die on it. For Ji Xiaotang's safety, it is best to give birth later.

However, Qin Zhen is much older than Ji Xiaotang, and Qin Zhen and An Wangfu both need heirs.

Ji Xiaotang said these words to Qin Zhen after careful thinking, she can accept the eldest son, and she will take her with her to raise her personally. But Qin Zhen had a completely different insistence.

"Then wait another year or two, two or three years, or even longer, I can wait." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang that he had enough patience, and he insisted on having his eldest son.

"But ......" However, this is not good for An Wangfu and Qin Zhen.

"Let's let the third brother be more in the limelight." Qin Zhen smiled, "This may be better for us." ”

Qin Zhen's words are not unreasonable, but Ji Xiaotang knows that if An Wangfu has an heir now, things will never be worse, only better.

She and Qin Zhen have the ability to protect the heirs of King An's Mansion.

But Qin Zhen seems to have made up his mind a long time ago and refuses to give in no matter what.

"Xiaotang, I'm in charge of this matter." Qin Zhen finally said such a sentence, and then terminated the topic very domineeringly, "It's not early, Xiaotang, it's time for us to rest......"

Looking at Qin Zhen's smiling eyes, what else could Ji Xiaotang say.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the wax moon.

The mighty Hou Ye has been escorted back to Beijing, and he is indeed not lightly injured, and when he arrives in the capital, he almost only has one breath left. However, after returning to the capital, there were many famous doctors to take care of him, and the mighty Hou Ye finally saved his life, as for what he could recover, no doctor dared to assert it now.

In any case, saving his life is a good thing, which is enough to appease the people in the Mighty Marquis Mansion and inspire Qi Younian on the front line.

Zhenshan Pass constantly has battle reports coming back.

When Qi Younian arrived at Zhenshan Pass, he immediately fought hard and had several clashes with the small army of the Northern Barbarians, each with its own victory or defeat. Just entered the lunar month, Qi Younian finally sent the good news back.

On the twenty-ninth day of the winter month, Qi Younian led the elite of the Zhenshan Pass army to ambush the Northern Barbarian army at Liangshanyu, twenty miles outside Zhenshan Pass, and won the victory on all fronts, causing the Northern Barbarian army to withdraw thirty miles!

The day after the good news entered Beijing, news came from Zhenshanguan that the Beiban sent envoys to negotiate peace with Daqin.
