Either don't come, or come in a row, could it be that the emperor's children's fortunes began to reverse at the age of thirty, the second son of the emperor and the crown prince, came to everyone is surprised, of course, the emperor was naturally surprised and happy, and immediately raised the treatment enjoyed by Xiao Wu Meiren to a higher level, and personally went to the side hall where she lived to see her son. Even the queen, after hearing the good news, immediately rushed to the scene to extend cordial greetings to her old subordinate Xiao Wu Meiren, and commended her outstanding achievements in her work.

This son was born well, not only gave the throne a double insurance, but also saved the fate of his biological mother as soon as he was born. Originally, with the filthy things that Xiao Wu Meiren did, she could go directly to the cold palace if she gave birth to a princess. But now that she has given birth to a son, although it is impossible to be the crown prince, but it is also a rare second son of the emperor, maybe the emperor is happy, not only does she not have to be confined, but she can also be promoted to the concubine position. - Anyway, except for the emperor himself and the people in Yong'an Palace, no one in the palace knows what Xiao Wu Meiren has done. Most people, including Empress Sun, may still think that the reason why Xiao Wu Meiren moved to the side hall was to find a stable environment to raise the baby with peace of mind.

When several grandmothers knew the news, they were a little indignant, and Grandma Sun sighed, "I can't complain that the sky has no eyes, the first few are all daughters, and with her character, she just gave birth to a son." ”

Yes, Xiao Wu Mei's birth of a son is somewhat of a bad thing for Yong'an Palace, she was stimulated by Liu Zhien to step on Xu Xun before, and now although Liu Zhien went to Nanjing, the grudges left behind are there, if she is promoted to a concubine, with Xiao Wu Beauty's personality, I am afraid that she will go all the way to the dark and continue to be against Huangzhuang Concubine Niangniang. After all, she has a son by her side, although she can't walk sideways, but it is always a bad thing to have such an old opponent who is difficult to completely trample to death.

Xu Xun didn't react, "If she can be promoted to a concubine, so that she can live in a palace by herself, wouldn't she have achieved her wish and didn't have to move back to Yong'an Palace?" ”

The reason why she was relocated was only because Xiao Wu Meiren was pregnant with the imperial heir at that time. In fact, as a beauty, she can't have an administrative unit on her own, and theoretically speaking, after she gives birth, she always has to return to a concubine. Now that the old boss Sun Guifei has been sealed, she either went to Concubine He Hui or Concubine Huangzhuang. ――With Concubine He Hui's temperament and her friendship with Concubine Huangzhuang, maybe Xiao Wu Meiren still hopes that she can return to Concubine Huangzhuang, anyway, Concubine Huangzhuang has not done anything to obstruct people from sleeping and reduce treatment.

"Niangniang......" Mama Zhao was a little speechless - this is one thing to refuse the queen's overtures, anyway, the relationship between Concubine Xu Huang Zhuang and Queen Sun cannot be any worse, and the face is passable, so as not to say that it is not polite to see it, and it is enough to insult the queen in person, and the rest is ...... At that time, how did Sun Guifei respond to Queen Hu, and Concubine Xu Huang Zhuang could move the trick and repeat it again today, anyway, with such a good example in front of her, who can say more? Maybe the more she responds to the queen, the more the queen mother will appreciate it. Anyway, Concubine Huangzhuang is not short of people to support her now. Regarding her words and deeds in Kunning Palace, several grandmothers did not admonish, and this is the truth-Mama Zhao is selfish, and she still feels that her own son and mother are sitting on the queen to win over He Niangniang, which is a little soft.

But not paying attention to the relationship with the queen does not mean that Concubine Xu Huang Zhuang is an invincible existence in the palace, which may be so indifferent to another strong hostility in the palace, it is completely a matter of attitude. Some of these enemies are too strong, and there is no way to destroy them for a while, Xiao Wu Meiren, an enemy who is still relatively weak, can be stepped on with a hard work, if she doesn't make a move at this time, do you have to wait until she becomes a concubine and starts to do the right thing with Yong'an Palace and then regret it?

This thought, I don't know how to say it to be decent, Mama Zhao rarely fell into a tangle, and she stopped talking for a while, but she couldn't sort out the meaningful advice, or Mama Sun directly picked it out. "Now that Xiao Wu has a son, the queen is courteous, and the two have a long relationship, I am afraid that after they become a line, it will be very unfavorable to you in the future."

It has been three days since the second son of the emperor landed, and he had washed three times in the side hall before he said this, so it can be seen that he had already discussed it and came to advise Xu Xun. Xu Xun was a little amused and a little moved—but more of it was quite incomprehensible, could it be that the situation in the palace was not clear enough now? A few grandmothers used to be so powerful and knowledgeable, but now they can't keep up.

"Actually, there's nothing to rush about." She didn't want to explain, she was holding a small leather ball in her hand to tease Diandian, where the ball went, the little eyes followed her, Xu Xun hid the ball behind her, and the little girl broke down from the nurse and pounced on Xu Xun, wanting to snatch the ball from her mother's hand. "Big brother knows this in his heart."

How could such a perfunctory answer satisfy a few grandmothers? Although due to the difference in identity, they did not continue to ask, but the eyes of one or two widened, obviously waiting for Xu Xun to explain further.

You still don't understand this, huh? Xu Xun sighed, but still made his words clear. "Have you all forgotten why she went to the side hall to raise the baby? What kind of person she is, the eldest brother knows best in his heart. ”

This is not bad, except for the limited high-level leaders of Xu Xun, the emperor, and the queen mother, even Xiao Wu Meiren herself doesn't know what she went to the side hall for, maybe she thought that she went to the side hall to let her raise her baby with peace of mind. If she wants to step on Xu Xun in turn, it can only make the emperor recognize her true face better, which will only be bad for her personal future, and what impact can it have on Xu Xun? She can't conjure up a pack of arsenic to poison Xu Xun and Diandian, right?

Several grandmothers suddenly realized, and a smile suddenly bloomed on the faces of Mama Zhao and Mama Sun. But Mama Qian, who had never been angry, said a word.

"You're putting all the treasure on the emperor."

The implication is that he doesn't seem to trust the emperor's vision and character so much.

After abolishing Hu and seizing the palace, it was indeed a shadow on the image of the emperor, Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and then said, "Mama, we've been in the palace for so long, haven't we recognized it clearly?" How do you fight, how do you shoot, in fact, it will not affect the situation at all, what is it like in this palace, you can't rely on the will of the eldest brother? If you don't bet your treasure on him, will you bet it on someone else? We don't have a son to rely on, we don't rely on our eldest brother, who else can we rely on? ”

If you can't give birth to a son, you can't help but feel a little gloomy, she swallowed the unspoken worry into her stomach, and said with a smile, "It's the old slave who is too worried." ”

Where can Xu Xun not see her worries - when will Israel be able to do things well? Although everything in this palace is according to the emperor's wishes, it is precisely the emperor's favor that is the most unreliable.

But she didn't know how to explain her feelings, and she didn't stand by and watch, in fact, in the end, it was just because she wanted to. The rest of the reasons are nothing more than far-fetched and stiff talk, so as to give an explanation to the people around them. It's like she was too lazy to take care of Queen Sun's little tricks, and she didn't even want to talk to her for a few more words, and to put it bluntly, it wasn't because she was too hot with Queen Sun, and the Queen Mother would be pantothenic...... will care about the queen mother's opinion, and she will not go to Qingning Palace for a few months to ask the old lady to say goodbye.

I used to always want to be loyal and worthy of the price that Heaven bought her, but now...... Hehe, Concubine Xu Huangzhuang is passive and slacking off, she is determined to relax her requirements for herself, grasp the key points, and be able to serve the emperor This work focus will be on the line, what else is 'bow carefully, Roujia rules' and other requirements, who loves to believe and who loves to learn, then believe and learn, anyway, she has limited qualifications, give up her hard work. When the emperor came, she went to work, and when the emperor left, she was on duty, and she didn't want people to live their own little lives?

Compared with the little fart crying in the side hall, Xu Xun paid more attention to her own little day, she waved her hand, and changed the topic without disobedience, "Petal's belly is getting bigger and bigger in the past few days, maybe she will give birth in a few days, you give her more raw egg yolks to make up for her body - find out who is the father?" ”

"The cats in our palace are all female." Hua'er said happily, "It seems to go down the West Second Long Street, there are cats and mice in the gatehouse, and there may be male cats there." A while ago, when the petals were in spring, a cat could be faintly heard in the gatehouse at night. ”

"I still have to talk to them, take the male cat to the gelding, and there are many cat attendants." Mama Qian interjected, "Otherwise, our seven or eight cats have all given birth to cubs, and how many cats will come out in a year." ”

So, Yong'an Palace handed over the whole matter to the emperor with peace of mind, and they themselves said that the cat went.

Compared with Yong'an Palace, which knows the inside story, the atmosphere of Kunning Palace is more anxious. Mama Zhou has been investigating for a few days, but there are still no clues, and when she reports to the queen, her tone is a little weak, "I know that after her fetal gas was unstable, the emperor called Liu Zhien, the original eunuch of Yong'an Palace, to interrogate, and not long after, Liu Zhien was sent out - I heard that he went to Nanjing to supervise the ceremony, and then Xiao Wu Guiren was sent to the side hall to raise the fetus." It's very tightly guarded, and it's hard to get in and hear from outside, let alone eat or something. ”

Nanjing is a good place to care for the elderly, not like he was sent out for a crime? Empress Sun was suspicious, and calculated the timing of Xu Xun's escape from Nannei: the emperor went to Nannei not a small number of times, but Concubine Huangzhuang never succeeded in returning to Yong'an Palace from Nannei. That is, the Queen Mother played a bitter trick before she could take the opportunity to get out. Judging from the eldest brother's favor for her after getting out, the previous embarrassment was not like it was because she had fallen out of favor, could it be because Liu Zhien made a mistake. Although the eldest brother concealed the matter, gave him a decent place to go, and maintained the Yong'an Palace, he still imposed a slight punishment in the end, and intended to let her live until the dust settles after the closure is settled?

Looking at it this way, it should only be Liu Zhien who attacked Xiao Wu Beauty, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Huangzhuang...... At least, the eldest brother is convinced of this. It is said that Concubine Huangzhuang has no motive for Wu Yu'er, and when she was in Yong'an Palace, Wu Yu'er must have behaved very peacefully.

――But does Wu Yu'er know this? Liu Zhien is Concubine Zhuang's confidant, this matter is well known, but I am afraid that in Wu Yu'er's heart, it should be Concubine Zhuang who is hiding behind Liu Zhien who killed her......

"On the other side of Yong'an Palace, there is still no movement at all?" She confirmed it with Mama Zhou again.

"No movement." Mama Zhou said, "Concubine Huangzhuang is still the same, she takes her daughter to the imperial garden for a walk every day, and she can't see any change in her expression. ”

"What about the Qingning Palace?" Empress Sun asked.

"Except for the third washing, after taking the child to Qingning Palace to see it once, there was no movement." Mama Zhou said, "It doesn't seem to have the intention of elevating Xiao Wu Guiren." ”

The reactions on both sides were a little surprising, which inevitably made the queen's brows furrow tighter and tighter, she pondered for a long time, and knocked on the table slightly nervously, "You go and ask Xiao Wu Guiren...... When I asked her if she knew that she was going to the side hall, I always wondered what else she knew, but I didn't say it. ”

Mama Zhou was ordered to retreat, and she was about to walk out of the door, and the queen called her back again. "Big brother has only been there once in the past few days?"

"I went once when I was born." Mama Zhou said, "The slave maid has also inquired, and the emperor has not been there once in the past few months." ”

Not only is I indifferent to Wu Meiren, but the second son's washing is also very simple, compared with the washing of the crown prince, it is basically a heaven and an underground. Not to mention the amnesty of the world, until now, even Xiao Wu Meiren's family has not been sealed, except for the notice from the palace to let everyone know that there is an additional second son of the emperor, the emperor does not seem to plan to do anything more for the time being.

Of course, the emperor values the crown prince more, and the queen is only happy. She played with the reason why the emperor was indifferent to Xiao Wu Meiren, and put it aside: the eldest brother has a mediocre affection for Wu Yu'er, so it is not surprising that he behaves like this. It should be said that it is because of her mediocre affection for Wu Yuer, so she did not get angry with Concubine Huangzhuang because of Liu Zhien's attack on her.

This inference is more certain because of the news brought back by Mama Zhou.

"It's arsenic...... Mama Zhou couldn't help but sigh, "Su Rili looked at Liu Zhien, he is still an understanding person, how could he do such a thing - the emperor is too soft, such a lowly slave maid, he was just sent to Nanjing as a celebrant eunuch?" ”

"After all, it's Concubine Zhuang's confidant, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha......" The queen said slowly, and suddenly sighed: It seems that the reason why Concubine Zhuang has been kept in Nannei is not because the eldest brother did not lose his anger, but because she came out too early, and the future will inevitably have variables...... Although the eldest brother's affection still has nothing to say, after all, he made her the queen, but he is really not very bad for Concubine Zhuang.

She thought of the draft that day, and Concubine Zhuang and her read the sentence at the same time, 'Thirty-six spring water, Baitou wants to see Jiangnan'.

Although the two of them read it at the same time, the emperor's smiling eyes looked at Xu first......

Suddenly, she was a little less jealous of the Yuan daughter who had not yet entered the palace: maybe let her come in and share some pampering, or good, the eldest brother's affection for Concubine Zhuang was like a grass, and it looked like nothing on her face, but when she began to pay attention and began to dig deeper, she found that the foundation of this favor may be deeper than she thought......

"Mother?" Mama Zhou called tentatively-she has served the queen for many years, and she can see some of the master's thoughts, "Why should Niangniang worry too much, the woman next to her is just a flower, and if she blooms, she will fail." Only the mother is the evergreen pine and cypress, which can be white-headed with the emperor in winter...... Don't say anything else, just say how long you have been sick, and the emperor hasn't made you the queen, doesn't he understand everything? ”

Mama Zhou didn't know that her eldest brother had also wavered, and Zuihou's decision was fueled and provoked by her. - The queen's pride did not allow her to share her worries with Mama Zhou, she squeezed out a smile and followed her words to comfort herself, "Yes, don't you understand everything?" ”

But after all, he couldn't help sighing anymore, and then continued, "Concubine Zhuang's affairs, don't worry about it, the eldest brother spoils her." We don't have to embarrass her - you take the four treasures of the study, and I'll write a cover first. ”

"Please make Wu Meiren a concubine?" Ma Shi repeated incredulously, "This-"

The emperor threw the fold in his hand to him, "See for yourself, won't everything be clear?" ”

There was a faint smile on his lips, it seemed that he was really funny, Ma Shiyi was stunned, and after a while, Fang Cai suddenly remembered the reason, and when he opened the fold to see, he was not so surprised. "Yes, the queen doesn't know the details, and it is reasonable to ask for the seal because Xiao Wu beauty has a meritorious child."

"Really?" The Emperor said, "Do you really think that's all there is to it? ”

"Then ......," Ma Shi was a little puzzled, "if that's not the case, then what should it be?" ”

"Vonne." The emperor waved to a middle-aged eunuch in the corner, "You can talk to him." ”

He leaned back, as if waiting to hear the story, knocked comfortably on the handle of the chair, and tasted the tea with half-squinted eyes. Feng En nodded at Ma Shi and said in a low and steady voice, "In the past few days, the queen mother has sent people to visit Xiao Wu nobles many times, and presented precious medicinal materials and auspicious jewelry, and there are no abnormalities in many exchanges. Only once yesterday, I asked Xiao Wu Guiren the truth about his stomach ache during pregnancy - Xiao Wu Guiren replied that it was the Huangzhuang Concubine Niangniang who instructed Liu Zhien, the eunuch in charge of the Yong'an Palace, to do it, just because she had the heart to lean on Empress Sun. ”

It is said that it is only because it is the two of you who know what I know, Feng En said the same as what he saw, Ma Shi was stunned and then realized: Yes, he still did this by relocating Xiao Wu Meiren to Zhaoyang Palace. Because he was afraid that after Xiao Wu Meiren learned the truth, emotional instability would damage the fetus, he casually said perfunctory at the time, hinting at Xiao Wu Beauty a few words, and said, "Grandpa already knows everything, but at this time, the emperor's heir is important, or take care of you first, don't think so much, let's have a safe baby, other things, grandpa knows it in his heart."

Moreover, after Xiao Wu Meiren was relocated, the people who served beside her were washed with water, and the palace maids who served her were replaced. If the emperor speaks, wouldn't it be a gesture to put some eyes and ears in her close attendants? Feng En took over Liu Siqing's position, and it is not unusual for him to know everything about it.

This please seal the expression of Xiao Wu beauty, not after giving birth to a child, not after washing the third queen, but just yesterday after knowing the 'truth' of Xiao Wu beauty's move to the palace, what is the true meaning of the queen...... This is very intriguing.

Ma Shi couldn't help but glance at Feng En, but the other party was peaceful, and he didn't even show the slightest emotion. He pondered Feng En's position in his heart: Uncle Shi had received the favor of Concubine Huangzhuang, although it was not big, but when he was in the palace a few years ago, he had always been very affectionate. This Ma Shi knows it in his heart, but in addition, Feng En has always been promoted by the Queen Mother, which is also an indisputable fact.

In the past, this was not a big deal, but now Uncle Shi is sitting in the position of the governor and eunuch of Dongchang, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is no longer the same as before...... It seems that he has to find an opportunity to mention Uncle Shi, lest he fall down without knowing it.

"Arsenic case-" He glanced at the emperor inquiringly, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he continued. "What is the truth, grandpa and the old lady are clear in their hearts, but the queen mother does not know the truth, and the above table can be regarded as a matter of responsibility, which is understandable. Grandpa summoned the slave and maid to ask the slave and maid to share the reason with the queen's mother-"

"How can you think that?" The emperor couldn't help laughing, "I came to you to ask you to send this letter to the queen mother, and you said, I read it, I didn't say anything, just let you send it over, and ask the queen mother to show me." ”

Ma Shiyi was confused, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he kowtowed to the errand and sent it to the Queen Mother with an excerpt.

Qingning Palace also quickly gave a reply, and her attitude was also very resolute - Xiao Wu Beauty was not right-hearted and unstable, because the time to serve the emperor was wrong, she was a beauty without a book, and her virtue was not enough to be a concubine.

The time to serve the emperor is wrong, which is wrong? This point, even the old people of the feudal mansion will not understand: in the year when the emperor became the crown prince, the queen mother gave a death order, asking the emperor to close the mountain to cultivate forests and recuperate. The East Palace is all forbidden. If you want the spirit, no one dares to violate the righteousness of filial piety.

And Xiao Wu Beauty was favored at this time...... Whether it is her favor, whether she takes the initiative to seduce or the emperor is strong with a gun, it is her fault anyway, weishenme is looking for you if she doesn't look for others? It must be that you have given others the wrong signal and seduced the gentlemen to ignore filial piety, how can you be a concubine if you are so virtuous?

Although it is also a very powerful argument, because it has touched the emperor's embarrassment to some extent, the queen mother's response is not too high-profile, and she just wrote a note to the emperor. But I don't know what's going on, the news spread very quickly, but after more than a day's work, in Kunning Palace, I heard about the Queen Mother's tone.

The author has something to say: what a good intelligence war!

Update~

Anyway, my cat likes to eat his dinner on the mat, but if there is blood and water, it will get dirty, so we have to stop it, but he won't change it...... Today I heard my mom outside in a very broken and hysterical and pampered tone asking it, 'Weishenme! You tell me you're weishenme! weishenme, you have to do it! ’

It's even better than Qiong Yao's male protagonist, Qiong Yao's male protagonist hahahahahaha......
