Imperial Concubine
Staying alone in the palace Hao Cai, no one to talk to her, she was really bored, there was a child in her belly, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad. She had to find a way to go to the Old Summer Palace, and she was always restless.
The news was intercepted by the queen mother halfway, and she asked her subordinates to pass the word to her, as long as Hao Caizhen obediently obeyed her, she could come whenever she wanted.
went to the Old Summer Palace first, and Hao Caizhen verbally promised the queen. The Old Summer Palace quickly sent someone to pick up Hao Caizhen. The Old Summer Palace also got the news here, causing an uproar.
Although it is in the palace, the etiquette should not be missing, and the concubines will still go to the queen on time to say goodbye.
Ying Concubine said: "I heard that the promise is coming, has the queen arranged a place to live?" β
The queen mother looked at Tang Jiayu: "The Old Summer Palace is already full, there is no extra dormitory, this palace thinks that she and Jia Chang are the best, why don't you two live together." β
In the eyes of outsiders, Tang Jiayu and Hao Caizhen are still a pair of good sisters, so it is not wrong for the two of them to live together. Only Tang Jiayu herself knows that she will be really scared when she sees Hao Cai now.
What's more, now that Hao Caizhen is pregnant, if she has something, it is all her responsibility.
The concubine said: "The emperor asked her to raise the fetus in the palace with peace of mind, but she couldn't sit still." β
"True sister will naturally be afraid when she is alone in the palace, there are many people here, and the imperial doctors in the palace have brought it out, so she can raise the fetus with peace of mind when she comes here." Yao Concubine said.
Even if she doesn't like Hao Caizhen, since people are going to be picked up, she welcomes it.
It's just that Concubine Yao is a little worried about Tang Jiayu, and she has to tell her well for a while.
On the way, Concubine Yao stopped Tang Jiayu, and the two of them prepared to go back side by side as if they were in the palace.
Yao Concubine said: "The real noble person is here, you have to be careful, I see that she is not a simple character." β
Just rely on her means to compete for favor.
Tang Jiayu said: "The queen handed over Hao Caizhen to me, don't you have another purpose, right?" β
To be honest, Tang Jiayu was really scared.
"Just be careful yourself, if you really tell the emperor about something, are you two not normal now?" Concubine Yao teased.
yes, she had to be careful.
Knowing that Hao Cai was really coming, Tang Jiayu instructed Zhuju to clean up her wings, but fortunately, there were two wings in the Spring Rain Pavilion, so they wouldn't sleep together.
They used to sleep in the same bed, but not anymore.
Hao Cai's belly is really a lot bigger, Tang Jiayu looked at her thin appearance, let the small kitchen make something to eat, she must be hungry all the way.
In front of Hao Caizhen, Tang Jiayu still smiled and greeted her politely.
Hao Caizhen said: "Before I knew it, this little thing had been in my stomach for two months, and the doctor said that my delivery date was in December, and it was almost winter at that time." I was expecting and scared. β
Everyone who has just become a mother is like this, right?
To be honest, Tang Jiayu is very envious of the current Hao Caizhen, and she also thought about the day when she was pregnant.
It's just that I had an unpleasant relationship with the emperor before, and I don't drink the fetal pill anymore, so I don't know if there will be any news. The last month's monthly letter has also come strangely, it has been gone for two days, and it used to take many days.
"By the way, hasn't my sister been drinking fetal pills before? Any news? Hao Caizhen said.
She seemed to know what she was thinking or was she testing her?
Tang Jiayu said: "You also know that I had a very unpleasant quarrel with the emperor before, and I never drank the fetal pill again." Just take care of the one in your belly now, eat something, you'll be hungry all the way. I'm going to go to the Queen Mother in a while, will you go? β
Originally, Hao Caizhen didn't want to go, she remembered that the Queen Mother was not in a very good mood, maybe her stomach would be better when she saw it.
It just so happened that the emperor and the concubine were there when the two of them arrived at Cishun Zhai, and the three of them were talking and laughing. Looks like they're not here at the right time.
The concubine said: "My real sister's belly is much bigger." β
"It's only been more than a month, and it makes Sister Guifei smile." Hao Caizhen.
Even if the emperor and they are all here, facing the concubine, Hao Caizhen will still be afraid, not only her, but Tang Jiayu is also afraid. She leaned closer to the emperor's side, and the emperor was very satisfied with her actions.
The Queen Mother said: "Then it is decided, the concubine is canonized as the imperial concubine, and all etiquette is handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Even if it's in the palace, you have to be prepared. β
I have long said that I would be canonized as the imperial concubine, but I have not taken action. This time when I arrived at the Old Summer Palace, the emperor also wanted to do it, and everyone was so lively and lively on the day of the concubine's canonization.
Although it was in the palace, the emperor did not delay the affairs of the previous dynasty, and he would still go to the early dynasty as usual.
Today, the emperor allowed Master Ma to meet with his own daughter, and he can't be too unconscionable. The emperor is also a father, and he can understand the feelings of Lord Ma.
Knowing that his father was coming, the imperial concubine asked people to prepare his favorite snacks and fine tea.
Master Ma said: "Weichen greets the imperial concubine." β
"Father, please get up and sit inside." The imperial concubine is rare and gentle.
I took a closer look at my father, who was getting old and wrinkled.
I remember that the last time I saw my father was before I was pregnant, and it took so long for the emperor to let them meet. It seems that the emperor is still wary of them.
Master Ma said: "It's finally come to this day, after you become the imperial concubine, even if your father goes home to care for the elderly in his old age, you won't be wronged in the palace." β
Hearing her father's concerned voice, Ma Ruxian burst into tears uncomfortably.
She always looks unruly in front of outsiders, but in fact, Ma Ruxian keeps all the pain to herself. It will only be shown in front of the family.
"I don't know if my mother is good, last time I was unexpectedly born prematurely, my mother didn't have time to enter the palace." The imperial concubine said.
At that time, he only cared about Tang Jiayu, but he forgot about this matter.
Master Ma said: "Your mother is doing well, there are so many girls waiting, wearing gold and silver, can it be bad?" β
The imperial concubine said: "I know my mother's temperament, I like to show off, you can also talk more about her, don't always fiddle with the things rewarded by the emperor." β
Her mother is good at everything, not good at all, and likes to show off, especially what the emperor has rewarded her.
According to her mother, she has a lot of face, and if the matter reaches the emperor's ears, their Ma family will be unlucky. I couldn't persuade her in the palace, so I had to let my father go.
Sighing, Master Ma said: "You also know your mother's temperament, I have to listen to her, your mother doesn't enter the palace, it saves you trouble." β
"I didn't let you look at my nephew even when I patronized and talked, so I went to bring the third elder brother." The imperial concubine commanded.
It is rare for the father and daughter to see each other, and Master Ma has something to tell her daughter, since she let herself see the third elder brother, let's take a look. That's his nephew, after all.
Carefully took over the third elder brother from the hands of his subordinates, and Master Ma was overjoyed. The third elder brother also smiled at him.
Master Ma said: "Okay, okay, in the future, the hope of our Ma family will be on him alone, such as immortals, no, imperial concubine, you have to make persistent efforts." β
"For the sake of our Ma family, I will definitely have a few more elder brothers." The imperial concubine said.
Giving birth to an elder brother in the royal family is an extra layer of dependence, the queen has two elder brothers, and she always has to surpass the queen.
When the time came, it was time for Master Ma to leave, and the imperial concubine reluctantly sent her father away. Looking at the son in her arms, she was somewhat relieved.
The queen mother's decision to have a child is known to the queen mother, and she wants to talk to the queen.
If they were in ordinary people's homes, they would also be regarded as mother-in-law and daughters-in-law, and the queen mother followed the queen mother quietly.
The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family and the queen haven't been like this for a long time, right? β
When you think about it, it's true.
"The concubines are not filial, and they can't be by the emperor's side all the time." The queen looked at her guiltily.
She knew that the Queen Mother was good to her, and the Queen Mother also knew her expectations for the two elder brothers. If there is another one, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely be even happier.
The Queen Mother said: "You are the queen and you want to manage the six palaces, so naturally you can't be empty, Queen, you already have three children, dog, don't joke with your life anymore." When you gave birth to the third princess, you encountered a difficult birth, and the mourning family was worried about your body. β
In the past, he was always too harsh on the queen, and he never cared so much about her. Today, since I asked her out, let them have a good chat.
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, the queen's eyes dimmed, she didn't expect that they would support her, but despite this, she still wanted to have another one.
The queen said: "Don't worry about the emperor's mother, the son's body has already been conditioned, and the son's minister will definitely add another brother to the royal family." The son is the queen and should lead by example. β
Unexpectedly, the queen's temper was quite hard, and the queen mother said a few words, but she didn't listen, so she had to give up.
In the past few days, Imperial Doctor Zhang has often been in and out and has been seen by the imperial concubine's people, and the imperial concubine has also received news.
"Niangniang, the slave maid saw Imperial Doctor Zhang coming out of the Autumn Rain Painting Museum today." That's really it.
The imperial concubine was quite surprised: "Imperial Doctor Zhang? Didn't he have a gynecology for a long time? What did the queen ask him for? β
Suddenly, the imperial concubine who thought of something looked panicked, and she called the fifth aunt to call Imperial Doctor Zhang.
Although Imperial Physician Zhang is the queen's mother, it is nothing for him to come over and ask questions. Imperial Doctor Zhang is very good at clichΓ©s, and he asked as soon as he asked.
It turned out that the queen wanted to have another child.
After thinking about it, the imperial concubine said: "Since the queen mother wants to have another child so much, then you can help her." β
The people on the side looked at their mother strangely, since she asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to help her, if the queen mother really had another one, wouldn't it be a threat to herself?
Isn't she supposed to stop it at this time?
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhenke looked at her with a puzzled expression.
The imperial concubine said: "Everyone knows that the queen had a heavy hemorrhage when she gave birth to the third princess, even if she returns to normal and wants to give birth to one, even if she is pregnant, I am afraid that it will be difficult to give birth." When the time comes, they will lose both mother and child. β
The queen mother, who is bent on having a child, has never thought of this layer, and she will drink fetal medicine every day. After drinking for a long time, there was still no news, and she herself was in a hurry.
Jian Dong said: "Since the queen can't give birth, let someone else give birth for you." β
"Let someone else take the place of Hongu? What do you mean? The queen said.
Glancing around, Jian Dong told the queen about his plan, and after thinking about it, the queen felt that it was too. It is so difficult for her to have a child by herself, so it is better to find a way to get Hao Caizhen to promise to give her the child to her to raise.
