Chapter 69: The Limelight

As soon as such imposing words came out, Concubine Jiang's face was full of relief, and a pair of eyes looked at her son tightly, and when she saw the praise around her, she was not proud, but just smiled gently.

"My father is now in good health, and the world is too peaceful and stable, and my sons only hope that my father can make his wishes come true and everything goes well." The second princess is as gentle as a person, but the words she said were pleasing to people: "The son heard that the mother concubine said that Lichun wanted to drink spring wine, so he begged the mother to take the son to brew spring wine together, and the father wanted to taste it?"

The emperor's gaze attracted by the eldest brother just now had completely shifted, and when he heard that this usually silent daughter was so attentive, he said happily: "That's natural, Wen Ruzhen is really my good daughter, Concubine Xiu, you have also worked hard." After finishing speaking, the servants went to deliver the spring wine brewed by the second princess to the emperor's table.

"It's just a wine, how hard to talk about, the concubine is stupid, and she won't let Wen Ru say auspicious words, don't care about Wen Ru's nonsense." Concubine Xiu got up generously, although her appearance was not outstanding, she was lined with gorgeous auspicious clothes and had a bit of a posture, otherwise the emperor would not be hungry at that time, but what she said was secretly to give Concubine Jiang eye medicine, what the eldest brother said was nothing more than what Concubine Jiang taught, and she would only teach the child to do things, not to speak.

"Don't look at Ergege's young age, he has some courage to do things." Concubine Jing and Hua Ying said.

Hua Ying also sighed: "Yes, it is worthy of being a child taught by Sister Xiu Concubine, but will this be too prominent and steal the limelight of the eldest brother?" Even if Er Gege is not a brother, with Concubine Jiang's temperament, it is inevitable to target. ”

"This is not something we can worry about, since Sister Xiu Concubine got the position, all her thoughts are on the second princess, we want to persuade it, but we can't persuade it." Concubine Jing didn't think as much as Hua Ying thought, but pointed to a plate of dishes on the table and said: "Look, this is the best dish in the imperial dining room, try it quickly, Yan Xichun is only available in every spring." ”

"It's nothing more than taking some vegetables and fruits and carving them into the shape of swallows, although it is not often seen, but there is no heat when the things in the imperial dining room are brought here, and now it is just warm, don't use too much." Hua Ying saw that she was aroused, so she reminded.

Seeing that Concubine Jiang kept giving the eldest brother a look, the eldest brother didn't speak for a long time, probably because he felt that his sister had already said it, and the emperor would not value him if he opened his mouth again.

There was a smile on the corner of Concubine Xiu's mouth, and she also pretended not to see Concubine Jiang's eyes that were about to breathe fire, her child was really promising, and she only needed her slight reminder and teaching to make the emperor's favor rise suddenly, unlike the big brother who was not good at pulling hard.

Seeing this scene, Hua Ying was actually worried about Concubine Xiu, Concubine Xiu used to be low-key and silent, but now she jumped out, just like a live target in Concubine Jiang's eyes, she didn't want Concubine Xiu to become a vicious person fighting for power and profit for her child, but she also had to admit that the reason why Concubine Xiu became Concubine Xiu was because of this child, so the second princess was her motivation and her weakness.

I don't know what the fifth elder brother will look like, Hua Ying thought to herself, as long as he is safe, there is no need to compete for favor and fame, as long as he grows up healthy, even if he is not talented, it can be regarded as a complete life.

"Why is she so proud!" Concubine Ling smashed her once favorite glass cup, and the subordinate next to her didn't dare to gasp: "It's not that you rely on your own family!" Oh, and that precious son!"

"Don't worry, this thing can't be broken." Witty Yu saw Concubine Ling hold up the jade bottle rewarded by the emperor last time, and hurriedly stopped her: "If Concubine Yun doesn't have the fifth elder brother, it can be regarded as a bird with broken wings, and it can't fly, the slave maid asked Yao'er to find a way to go, you put down the jade bottle first, this thing is all registered, and you are not unclear." ”

"Niangniang, let's do this, if we blatantly harm the fifth elder brother, it will definitely not work, it is better to frame that person." Yao Er came over after a short time, whispered to Concubine Ling, and finally said.

"Concubine Jiang?" Concubine Ling also knows Concubine Jiang's habits in the palace for so many years: "She is also a scheming person, she has sent away all the eyeliner placed in the palace, how can she be framed on her?"

"Sometimes you don't need evidence, people are terrible, as long as everyone thinks that Concubine Jiang did it, then she can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, and the queen can't disturb people's sight when she investigates?"

After that, Yao Er discussed with Concubine Ling for a long time, and the witty words were not very clear, but she knew that Concubine Ling was already in a good mood after Yao Er left.

In Yanxi Palace, Concubine Ji hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and she was happy, but now she was a little apprehensive in her heart, thinking of Concubine Ling's instructions, she could only speak to the emperor who was sitting next to her and reading a book.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a request, I don't know whether to say it or not."

The emperor raised his eyelids and continued to look at the book in his hand: "You say yes." ”

"The concubine went to see Concubine Ling, Concubine Ling knew that she had done something wrong, her face of regret was not good these days, everyone was emaciated, and the concubine felt sorry for Niangniang." Concubine Ji paused and secretly glanced at the emperor's face: "Later, Concubine Ling told her concubine that she was alone, and she was not even accompanied by a son and a half daughter. ”

The emperor looked as usual, but just closed the book: "What, do you want Da Gege to be raised by Concubine Ling?"

Concubine Ji's face turned pale, and she said in a hurry: "That's not what the concubine meant, Da Gege is older, not as good as other princes and princesses, and she is introverted, how can you bother Concubine Ling, or the concubine can take care of Da Gege by herself." ”

The emperor didn't speak, she had to continue: "The concubine wants to let other elder brothers or Gege of the right age accompany Concubine Ling." ”

In fact, as soon as she opened her mouth, the emperor knew what it meant, Concubine Jiang gave birth to the eldest brother, the eldest brother is almost an adult, the second elder brother born by Concubine Jing is not in good health, Concubine Jing has been carefully raised for a year before she has just improved, Concubine Ling will never have the patience of Concubine Jing. Concubine Xiu gave birth to Ergege, Ergege is already sensible, not the age of casual walking, the third elder brother is not to mention the queen to raise, although the fifth elder brother is young, but Yun Concubine is a concubine and has a prominent family background, and it is not the turn of Concubine Ling to raise her.

Now what Concubine Ji said is just a child who has not yet been born in the belly of the noble person, and I think it is Concubine Ling who paid attention to this and asked Concubine Ji to be a lobbyist.

"I thought about it too, but I thought that Concubine Ling was not very old and could give birth, and I didn't want her to hold someone else's child to raise." Concubine Ling's family now occupies half of the sky in the court, and is equal to Concubine Yue's father, and in the middle is a family like Concubine Yun that she has worked so hard to rise. The emperor will never give her the support of the prince, although it is not known whether the noble is a man or a woman in her belly now, and the emperor does not want to give Concubine Ling an heir.

Ji Concubine was dull no matter how dull she was, and she knew that the emperor meant to disagree, so she stopped talking about this topic: "Also, Da Gege painted a painting a few days ago, can the emperor take a look?"

For Concubine Ji's well-behavedness, the emperor was in a better mood and readily agreed, he didn't know that Concubine Ji's family was under the protection of Concubine Ling's mother, and he also turned a blind eye to some things, and he would not embarrass her.

Concubine Ling listened to Concubine Ji's relay, and couldn't calm down for a long time, the emperor felt that she still had a chance to give birth at this time, why didn't she think so herself, although she was only in her twenties, it was the age when she could still have children, but she was impatient with many beautiful flowers in the palace, since the draft, one child after another was born, and she had nothing, the imperial doctor said that she was weak, and there was no news after a long time, how could she not be in a hurry?
