Chapter 456: The Rumored Old Lady Wu
With a smile, Mrs. Jing saw that I was not punished by Ying Zheng for saying this, and there was a great possibility that Ying Zheng would turn over this unpleasant topic, and she was a little unhappy.
"Speaking of the old people, the slave concubine is really sentimental, and the good family will be ignored and the inner palace will be disrupted, so the slave concubine is more and more worried about the obedience of the emperor's heir.
Mrs. Xi was hit by a cheap maid before, and it was a great blessing to be able to have no danger, and the mother and son had nothing to do, but after that, whether it was for herself or foreign affairs, she still had to be doubly careful. ”
Suddenly it came up to me, is it about to start? I thought to myself, paying close attention to Mrs. Jing's words, but I didn't dare to give her the message that I was wary of her.
Zhao Wu's actions and her results have always been topics that everyone in the palace carefully avoided with each other, and everyone was afraid that one would accidentally say something wrong and cause trouble, but now this sensitive topic was brought up by Mrs. Jing in front of Ying Zheng, and everyone listened attentively without a trace of noise.
"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that Mrs. Xi's midwife is to be selected, and the child that Mrs. Xi is pregnant with is the first imperial heir after His Majesty ascended the throne as the emperor, but our little fortune general of Daqin, to choose this crucial midwife to deliver the baby, there must be no mistakes, sloppiness and trouble."
Mrs. Jing was worried, and her voice was sincere.
Sure enough, it's going to shoot at me, it's going to start with my child's midwife, her demeanor and tone, if it weren't for the precautions and the inside situation, I would really be confused and moved by her exaggerated concern.
"In the past, there were frequent accidents with pregnant concubines, and I was only busy with the former affairs and paid little attention to the affairs of the inner palace, so that the truth only surfaced after several years;
And now that Tianxi is about to give birth, he has been careful again and again but he is still in danger repeatedly, and it can be seen that there are unclean people in the inner palace at the moment, no matter who this person is, I will not let Tianxi have an accident anyway! ”
Ying Zheng said firmly, if there were people present who were said to be the ones he said, then he wanted this person to see his seriousness, so that he could stop it in advance.
For me and the child. Ying Zheng is also merciful enough, if it was in the past, he would have directly used his iron hand to eradicate the people who might cause trouble or cause trouble and their families together to make an example to achieve his goal.
"The slave concubine was ordered by His Majesty to temporarily assist the inner palace but suffered disasters again and again, and she was ashamed in her heart, and she really didn't want to see another grievance in the palace, so the slave concubine went to listen to the information of the midwife to be selected and some reliable midwives in the periphery."
Mrs. Jing spoke softly, but what she said became more and more exciting.
"But what's wrong?" Ying Zheng asked.
smiled warmly, and met Ying Zheng's concerned gaze, and Mrs. Jing seemed to answer as if he had to reassure him.
"Not really, but the concubine heard that there are many good hands outside the palace. In the past, when the midwife was selected, she was not selected because of other reasons.
Among them, there is an old woman Wu, who is over sixty years old, has delivered 100 newborn children in her life, no one is sick, last year in Feng Mansion when the adults had no strength, everyone was helpless, and could only wait and see when the mother and child were sent away, she was bold and skillful, and actually pulled out to save the lives of two people.
Previously, she was widowed and in the mourning period, so she was not selected to wait in the palace, and now she has passed the mourning period. Your Majesty, the slave concubine feels that there are many people and multiple guarantees, but they can be selected to give Mama Wei a lesson. If so, it's okay to be out and wait. ”
Knowing that Ying Zheng likes people who are bold and capable, Mrs. Jing knows how to judge the situation to exaggerate the atmosphere and promote the probability of achieving the goal.
"If it's really as good as you say, it's naturally excellent, what does Tian Xi think?"
Really. Ying Zheng agreed.
When I was asked, I turned my head to look back at Ying Zheng, and during this time, I saw Mrs. Li's sudden and sneering expression after hearing Mrs. Jing's words, and I knew that she understood Mrs. Jing's attack method and understood the situation I was in. I don't know if her sneer changes after watching, or reminiscing about herself at the beginning, or both.
"Slave concubine Mrs. Xie Jing cares."
I thanked me in reply, and then fell silent for Ying Zheng's inquiry. I haven't figured out how to answer yet.
I can't agree if I agree, but if I don't agree, Yingzheng has already agreed, can I say no?
"Your Majesty, Princess Huayang asks to see you." Lin Jixiang opened his mouth to relieve my cold siege.
Ying Zheng also saw my disapproval from my hesitation, and he withdrew his gaze from me and announced the Huayang audience.
Huayang finished greeting Ying Zheng and the princesses, and as soon as he sat down, before Ying Zheng and Mrs. Jing could speak, they heard Mrs. Li take the lead in saying the opening remarks in an unclear tone.
"What a coincidence that Princess Huayang came." She was smiling, but she was laughing with a deep meaning.
Huayang didn't greet Mrs. Li with kindness, she squeezed out a few thick smiles, and looked at Yingzheng inquiringly.
"What, is the emperor coming to the right place or is it wrong?"
Ying Zheng was full of tolerance for Huayang's questioning questions, he smiled "hehe" and said that he wanted Huayang to be happy.
"You are here, your mothers and concubines are all welcome, how could it be wrong," although it was a reproach, it was affectionate.
Ying Zheng's deep affection for Huayang's father and daughter is undoubtedly the easiest platform and bargaining chip for Mrs. Jing to use, how could she let it go.
"We are talking to your father about the birth of your concubine on the side of the river, and the matter of the midwife has not yet been finalized, if you are hungry, you can eat some food by yourself." Mrs. Jing's charitable attitude is as if she and Huayang have never had unpleasant calculations, and it is completely the tenderness of a loving mother to her daughter.
"The concubine on the side of the stream is about to give birth, and the midwife has not yet been decided?"
Huayang seemed surprised to hear the news, but it was because of her surprise that I was convinced of the fact that she wasn't surprised.
Ying Zheng glanced at me with a smile, not wanting me to be embarrassed and anxious, and said, "There are still a few days, it's too late." ”
I returned to Yingzheng to smile, but it was inevitable that Yingzheng was too protective of my undecided midwife's behavior and Mrs. Jing induced Yingzheng to agree to her candidate for the nomination, and I also followed suit.
"Your Majesty, the matter that has been pending by the midwife is a little strange, this matter is handled by Mama Wei, I don't know if there is a hidden reason to delay the time, it is better to ask Mama Wei to discuss it together, maybe she will tell us the reason why we have not decided on a candidate, if it is really difficult, Mama Xi à can also solve it for her."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement with what I said, and looked back and let Lin Jixiang do it.
"What Tian Xi said is reasonable, Zhao Gao, Xuanwei Mama will see you."
Everyone saw Ying Zheng's expression of "obeying my words" in their eyes, and naturally jealousy and vinegar were indispensable, but it was inconvenient for them to say anything to make Ying Zheng unhappy, so only Huayang opened his mouth.
"Mama Wei is the grandmother of her father, what does she want to do in this palace, what can't she do, the mother concubine on the side of the stream is too worried."
denied me, and Huayang continued to conquer Yingzheng's advances.
"Father, according to the son's opinion, most of the undecided matters of the midwife are not among the candidates who are satisfied with Mama Wei, and the father said that there are still days, so it is better to find some capable doctors to try, and the sons will know a very good candidate.
This person has been in the palace several times to give birth, by the way, the husband said that Wang Ben is her delivery, earlier Zongzheng Temple selected the midwife into the palace, this person was abandoned because of the mourning was not full, so although the son knew her, but did not mention it again, now I think about it, time is running out and the responsibility is heavy, you might as well ask her to try it. ”
Such foreshadowing and such interpretation are really seamless and mysterious.
"Huayang, are you talking about Old Lady Wu in the east of Xianyang City?"
As expected, Mrs. Jing answered.
"How did the concubine know?"
Still as I thought, Huayang was surprised again.
smiled at Ying Zheng, and saw that Ying Zheng also smiled, and then Mrs. Jing continued.
"Coincidentally, this palace heard the people below talk about her magic skills and deeds, no, I just mentioned it to your father."
This play is lively enough, and the rhythm of bringing a halo to Mrs. Wu is also well controlled, without any sense of disobedience.
"Really? Even the mother concubine knows about this person, and it seems that the father can really send someone to investigate. ”
The harmony between Mrs. Jing and Huayang's mother and daughter is one of the scenes that Ying Zheng wants to see the most, so even if Ying Zheng sees something unusual, he must not break the situation created by the two of them, not to mention that the two of them are perfectly fit, and they can't see anything wrong at all.
Xu asked me before but couldn't get a response from me, although Yingzheng looked satisfied, he still looked at me to verify whether my opinion had changed.
I watched Mrs. Li "admire" them and "pity" my face after enjoying the performance of Mrs. Jing's mother and daughter, and did not turn my head to respond to Ying Zheng's gaze; Ying Zheng followed my gaze to Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li's expression tightened, and she gave Ying Zheng an ignorant smile.
Mrs. Li and I didn't speak, Ying Zheng probably knew what to expect, he looked around the huge hall, stared at Mrs. Zhao and spoke.
"You're so talkative, why don't you have your voice today?" He asked teasingly.
Ying Zheng wants to find out the reason for my warm treatment of Mrs. Jing from Mrs. Zhao's words, but Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Jing are standing on the same road, where will she give Ying Zheng the meaning of the words that are beneficial to me.
"Back to His Majesty, although the slave concubines have given birth to a lot, but Ban Mu died young, Mrs. Xi seems to have some scruples about the mention of slave concubines and others, so the slave concubines dare not speak up."
What she said was to remind Ying Zheng that the heir of the king died because of me, and I was obviously very suspicious and didn't know the hearts of good people, so she didn't dare to speak, Mrs. Jing dared to "worry" about me, which is rare in itself?
From time to time, the palace directed the accusations against me and put me in a situation of being blamed, and Madame Zhao's unconcealed and almost explicit dissatisfaction pushed me to the point that it would be obvious that Yingzheng would protect me again, although Yingzheng may not care about this, but I can't let him cause public resentment because of me.
