Li Guifei was secretly suspicious, and suddenly heard someone say: "Why should Sister be careless? The emperor is here today, no matter whether these words are sincere or false, in fact, it shows that the current status of the elder sister and the crown prince is deep-rooted. ”

Li Guifei turned her head to look and saw a young man dressed in eunuch costume and smiling out.

"What's your say?" Concubine Li Guifei didn't seem surprised, but raised her eyebrows slightly: "Has the emperor been to the queen recently?" I mean the last few days. ”

The young man smiled and said: "Sister don't worry, since the queen advised the emperor last year, the emperor has never been to her again, this time the matter is about the prince in the final analysis, sister, you are the prince's biological mother, the emperor is annoyed that the queen talks a lot, so naturally he will not go to her." Sister, tomorrow except for the emperor, you will be the only one who will appear on behalf of the harem! ”

Li Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

The young man naturally walked behind Li Guifei and stood still, stretched out his hand and gently kneaded it on Li Guifei's shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "The queen has no appearance, and the emperor refuses to see her at all now, so there will be no more 'heirs' sons, and the status of the prince will be as stable as Mount Tai from now on." As for you, sister, you don't have to worry about anything anymore. ”

While enjoying his massage, Concubine Li frowned slightly, and said: "But Wen Jin, don't forget, although the emperor still comes to me often, but his speed of drafting in the palace is getting faster and faster, I am worried that sooner or later there will be a few who will give birth to dragons, you see that Concubine Wei Ying has been in body for three or four months now......"

"Sister is too worried." The young man named "Wen Jin" said with confidence: "After the death of the former princess, she is the most favored by Sister A, not to mention that the emperor only has two sons, both of whom are from Sister A, and the status of the eldest and youngest has been decided. What's more, on Concubine Wei Ying's side, it is uncertain whether she will make Zhang or tiles. ”

"Princess......" Li Guifei sighed inexplicably: "It's also a little blessed." ”

When Emperor Longqing was still King Yu, the original wife at the beginning, Princess Yu, had the same surname as Concubine Li, and she also had the surname Li, she gave birth to a son for Zhu Zaiyuan, and it stands to reason that the child is Longqing's real son-in-law. But it's a pity that the mother and son are really thin, one has no emperor's life, and the other has no queen's life, both of them died of illness when Longqing was not on the throne, Longqing has a deep affection for this original wife, and feels very sad about the death of their mother and son.

By the way: even though the Yu princess Li and her children had long since died, Longqing took great care of her family: Lu Bing, the former favorite of the Jiajing Dynasty and the brother of the Jiajing Emperor, was rewarded to her family for the ultra-luxurious main mansion that remained in Beijing after his death.

Longqing's Continuation Lady is surnamed Chen, which is now Empress Chen.

The greatest sorrow of this Empress Chen is that she has never had a son, and Emperor Longqing did not care about it, and she has never shaken her status as an empress. It is likely that Longqing, who has experienced the pain of no family affection, does pay more attention to family affection than his father, and he treats his wife and son much better than Jiajing.

But it's a pity that at the beginning of last year, because of Emperor Longqing's excessive femininity, the queen was deeply disturbed, and in view of the queen's duties, she bluntly advised the emperor to take care of the dragon body. may have been said more bluntly, which made the emperor dissatisfied, and the emperor never went to Kunning Palace again.

A few months later, the queen fell ill in depression, and she asked to go to another palace to recuperate, and the emperor complied.

Concubine Li Guifei has two sons, and Queen Chen has none, which in itself will inevitably make outsiders feel that the queen has fallen out of favor, and now this is even more consolidated.

In fact, this kind of topic of mediocrity has always been the most interesting to the officials, who are like the paparazzi of later generations who closely watch everything that happens in the deep palace. Sure enough, Yunnan Provincial Inspector Yu Shi Zhan Yangpi is such a qualified paparazzi. One day, he met the imperial doctor who had just come out of the palace on the road, and hurriedly went up to inquire closely about the situation in the palace, and the imperial doctor told him that the queen had recently fallen ill and had moved from Kunning Palace to another palace to recuperate.

Originally, this was not a big deal, the queen did get sick because of depression after making the emperor unhappy, but the emperor did not make any accusations against her except for not going to her, but it was a bit like an escape. And the queen moved to another palace, in fact, it was the queen's own request, as for whether she was angry or really felt that Kunning Palace was not suitable for recuperation, there is no way to know.

But Zhan Yangpi seemed to have gotten an exclusive headline, and immediately picked up a pen and wrote a note, accusing the emperor of abusing the empress, saying that the empress's illness must be the emperor's insensitiveness, ignoring or even abusing the empress, and also accusing the empress of moving to other palaces because the emperor forced her to move to other palaces.

Naturally, this note was not only presented to the emperor, but it immediately spread throughout the government and the opposition. When the officials looked at it, what a big event! Everyone suddenly came to the spirit, for example, a moral gentleman named Luo Wenli, who talked about the relationship between the emperor and the queen, of course, there was no new point of view, it was nothing more than accusing the emperor of being bad to the queen as usual, and accusing the emperor of being too lascivious.

In fact, the relationship between the emperor and the queen has always been okay before this incident - otherwise it can't be explained, and the queen dares to speak out and advise, right? Obviously, most of what Zhan Yangpi wrote was based on his own speculation, and there was almost no evidence that he was sure of, but Zhu Yuanzhang's rules were very hard-rooted, and the words and officials were heard, even if they used the news to scold the emperor, it didn't matter, and it was even their duty.

Long Qing got these notes that scolded him, and it can be imagined that he was naturally in a bad mood. But in view of the fact that Gao Gong had not come back at that time, Yan Lu was very powerful and domineering under the connivance of Xu Jie, and he had no choice but to give an explanation, saying that the queen was not in good health, and it was beneficial to recuperate her body by living in another place, and you guys didn't know anything about the palace, don't talk nonsense, this time I read that you are ignorant, and I won't pursue it.

However, the government and the opposition almost unanimously recognized the lust of Emperor Longqing, and even the people unanimously believed that the emperor was a good woman, and there was also a fraud incident. For example, if there is a eunuch named Zhang Jinchao, who falsely claimed that he wanted to go to Huguang to choose a concubine for the emperor, the outside world believed it to be true, and hurriedly had a daughter who desperately married his daughter, no matter what kind of family it was, if he could marry, he would marry out quickly, for fear that his daughter would be sent to the palace and separated from heaven and man. Later, it was discovered that it was fake, so the eunuch was beheaded.

So the next Emperor Longqing was miserable, and anything could be associated with women. Once, Cai Ruxian gave the emperor a brief message, which roughly means: The minister was the emperor's guide a few days ago, and the emperor felt that the emperor seemed to be a little thinner than before. The emperor's body is very important, and he must cherish it more, so the minister hopes that the emperor will be cautious about women in the future, read a little history every day if he has nothing to do, get close to the knowledgeable ministers, and stop indulging in women.

Long Qing was quite annoyed by this, it is indeed true that he is lustful, but which emperor is not lustful? Some people are good women and even lose the country, but he didn't delay state affairs for women, he feels that staying with women for a longer time and fulfilling the duties of a good emperor are fundamentally different things.

Fortunately, after Gao Gong recovered, the officials stopped talking about it because many of them had a grudge against Gao Gong. Then not long after, Gao Gong persuaded the emperor to stage a big drama of "the prince's playmate", and Emperor Longqing gave birth to a lot.

This is also one of the reasons why Longqing attaches great importance to this scene.
