Chapter 367: Side Concubine
The sixth sense is really amazing, and as Cheng Xi expected, after the emperor's reward was finished, the queen mother began to block her.
The queen mother looked at Cheng Xi, smiled slightly, and said: "Princess Qin, you and King Qin have been married for more than a month, and the queen mother is eager to hold her grandson, I don't know if you have any good news to make the queen mother happy and happy to hear it?" “
Cheng Xi was shocked, but there was no change on her face, she smiled faintly and replied: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid that the daughter-in-law will disappoint the imperial grandmother." “
Listening to Cheng Xi's words, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Really?" The queen mother looked at the queen mother, turned her eyes back on Cheng Xi, and said with a smile: "As a royal daughter-in-law, it is your top priority to spread the branches for the royal family, and I hope that Princess Qin can spread the good news as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, King Qin felt that the queen's words might have a bad impact on Cheng Xi, and he said loudly: "The queen mother, as the head of the harem, you need to worry about a lot of things, and you don't need to worry about this little matter in the son's family. “
The implication of King Qin's words is to say, Queen, you are too nosy, right? What does it matter to you whether I have children or not?
Cheng Xi looked at King Qin, her eyes were full of gratitude, and a warm current surged in her heart, she knew that King Qin confronted the queen mother in front of her like this, completely because he wanted to protect her.
The queen mother was a little annoyed when King Qin said this, but her face did not change, she smiled faintly, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Qin's words are wrong, Princess Qin is the daughter-in-law of this palace, this branch is not only your King Qin's family affairs, but also the family affairs of this palace, if Princess Qin can add Ding to our royal family as soon as possible, the emperor and the queen mother still have this palace, I don't know how happy I will be!" “
Cheng Xi gently pulled King Qin's sleeve and signaled him not to contradict the queen mother anymore, this queen mother has been in charge of the harem for so many years, this verbal effort is definitely not simple, if King Qin fights with her, he may not be her opponent, not to mention, she doesn't want King Qin to offend the queen mother for herself.
Although in the future, when King Qin joins the battle for succession, he will inevitably stand on the opposite side of the queen, but the superficial work must still be done sufficiently, and no handle can be left.
Besides, the queen mother can say these things here, maybe it was ordered by the emperor, otherwise, why would she say these things after the emperor rewarded herself?
Cheng Xi said respectfully to the queen mother: "The queen mother, what you said is very true, you care about your daughter-in-law, and your daughter-in-law is grateful. ”
Seeing Cheng Xi's respectful attitude towards herself, the smile on her face softened a lot, nodded to Cheng Xi, and said with a smile: "Princess Qin is knowledgeable, dignified and graceful, and has excellent medical skills, she is indeed a good match for His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”
The emperor and the queen mother both showed satisfied smiles on their faces when they heard this, and when King Qin heard this, he felt that the queen was still acquainted, but if King Qin knew what the queen was going to say next, he would definitely not think so.
"Your Majesty, if the concubine is not mistaken, when the emperor was at the age of His Royal Highness King Qin, he already had a prince and a princess, and the emperor's palace was not like His Royal Highness the King of Qin, there was only one princess, and the concubine remembered that when the concubine entered the palace, there were already two side concubine sisters in your house, I don't know if the emperor still remembers?" The queen said as if she was reminiscing about the past.
"Really? It seems like so. The emperor stroked his beard with a smile, as if he was really thinking about the things of the year, and after a while, he looked at his beloved son with a smile, his eyes were full of love, "Yes, I did become a father back then, Lao Qi, you have to work harder." ”
King Qin said respectfully: "Father, rest assured, the sons will definitely not live up to their father's high expectations." ”
The corner of King Qin's eyes swept towards the queen, and he secretly wondered what kind of medicine was sold in this queen's gourd?
She doesn't say the word heir today, and she also mentioned her father's side concubine back then, is her intention to be the side concubine? Who exactly does she want to be his side concubine? It can't be her niece who can't get on the stage, right? Before, she wanted to give her niece to Lu Yuchen so that she could win over the Protectorate Mansion, but now she can't do it, so she will use another plan to let her niece marry into the Qin Palace?
Hum! Her queen's wishful thinking is clanging! Is it to use his Qin Wangfu as a garbage can? Can any shit and garbage get in?
The queen mother looked at King Qin with a smile and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, you are now in good health, you are the prince of my Huaxia Kingdom, your status is noble, but you only have one princess now, wouldn't it make the people of the world laugh, so, this palace has discussed with the emperor and the queen mother, and is ready to help you find a few more candidates for side concubines, I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Qin is?" “
The emperor and the queen mother glanced at each other, and there was some annoyance in their eyes, but they quickly disappeared. The queen mother did propose this matter to the two of them, but they didn't agree, but just said that they wanted to see what King Qin thought first? I didn't expect this queen to actually cut first and then play, and say this above the hall, but let the two of them eat coptis dumbly, and they can't say anything about their suffering.
In fact, in the hearts of the two of them, they also agree with the proposal of the queen's mother, Huaxia has been like this since ancient times, the more noble the man, the more wives and concubines he marries, and only marrying a man with one wife is like a rarity, extremely rare, because such a man will be made fun of by everyone.
As the husband and grandmother of King Qin, of course the two of them hope that King Qin can marry a few more daughters-in-law, and the more the better, but they all take into account: First, King Qin and Princess Qin are newly married Yan'er, and it seems a little inappropriate to mention this now; Second, Princess Qin has just cured King Qin's leg disease, and now she mentions the matter of giving King Qin a side concubine, which seems to make people feel that they have crossed the river and demolished the bridge, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey. Even if Princess Qin is generous and doesn't care, I'm afraid that General Cheng will find out and feel unfair for his daughter.
However, now that the queen is willing to come forward to be this wicked person, they don't want to say anything, but they secretly apologize to Cheng Xi in their hearts, they all know the temperament of King Qin, Cheng Xi was the one he asked to marry in public, and he must have loved him very much, and they also heard some rumors, knowing that King Qin spoiled Cheng Xi to the extreme after getting married, and stayed in Cheng Xi's courtyard every night.
And just now, the queen didn't say a word, and let King Qin confront her in person, I'm afraid King Qin won't let Cheng Xi be wronged a little. They hoped that Cheng Xi would understand their painstaking efforts as elders and persuade King Qin to agree to this. It's just that these thoughts are not easy to put on the table.
Cheng Xi listened, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly scolded this queen mother is really not a thing, King Qin himself didn't plan to marry a side concubine, you yellow-faced woman and old witch are not his own mother, what are you anxious about? It's infuriating!
She, a woman in the 21st century, really doesn't understand that this ancient woman is really so generous, and she is really willing to share her husband with other women?
Looking at the performance of the queen mother and Concubine Rong on the feast of flowers, she doesn't think that these two women are willing to serve a husband, they seem to be living in harmony on the surface, but who knows how fierce the struggle between them and their sons is in secret?
Cheng Xi glanced at King Qin and wondered what he was thinking? Will you gladly accept it, or will it ......
King Qin caught Cheng Xi's glance, and his heart suddenly understood, she cared about him, and she was in a very good mood. Since Cheng Xi didn't want him to marry a side concubine, of course he wouldn't do anything to make her unhappy.
And the queen saw that King Qin didn't speak, so she said to the emperor and the queen mother: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin is thin-skinned, and if he doesn't speak, he must be acquiescing!" In this way, the concubines feel that Li Chulian, the daughter of Taishi Li's mansion, and Lin Yuelan, the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, are both talented and beautiful, dignified and skillful women, and they will not insult His Royal Highness the King of Qin if they are married to King Qin as a side concubine. “
King Qin saw that the emperor and the queen mother were looking at him and Cheng Xi, and knew that they probably wanted Cheng Xi to speak out and show his attitude, but he suddenly understood, it turned out that the queen mother praised Cheng Xi like that just now for a purpose, put a high hat on Cheng Xi, and said that she was virtuous and virtuous, so that even if Cheng Xi was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't say in public that she didn't agree, otherwise he would catch the handle for the queen mother, and I don't know how to arrange Cheng Xi.
He didn't want to hear his beloved woman being forced to say words against his will, nor did he want her to be wronged, he took the lead and said: "Father, Erchen's body has just recovered, and it is still very weak, one princess is enough, and there are two more side concubines, Erchen's body is weak, I'm afraid I can't bear it." ”
When Cheng Xi heard this, he set off a storm in his heart, in order to live up to his original promise to her, in order not to marry a side concubine, King Qin actually said that he was like this!
Where is his body weak? Seeing him fight against ten like yesterday is simply incredibly powerful. He belittled himself so much, it was all for her, which made her very moved, and her heart was warm, and she had more feelings for King Qin.
The emperor and the empress dowager listened to King Qin's words, glanced at each other, sighed, and said: "Princess Qin, King Qin's body will be handed over to you, you can take good care of him and start a branch for our royal family as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Xi stood up, saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and said respectfully: "Father, grandmother, please rest assured, the ministers and daughters-in-law will definitely take care of His Royal Highness King Qin." ”
And King Qin was already thinking about the queen's intention of proposing the two side concubine candidates, did she want to rely on these two women to win herself over?
