Chapter 9 A Moment of Favor
Since the emperor suddenly went to Lu Wan's dormitory that night, he seems to like Lu Wan very much, well, at least in the eyes of the concubines in the harem.
Not only are the rewards constant, but also the concubines are summoned to sleep every once in a while, which is an unprecedented grace.
Within two months, Lu Wan was pregnant and was named Concubine Wan, shocking the government and the opposition.
All the children of Emperor Renhe are already adults, and the queen thunders the means, and there are no underage children in the harem, and suddenly Concubine Wan has a child in her belly who doesn't know whether it is a prince or a princess, and everyone is surprised.
Recently, the most gossip in the capital is Concubine Wan's children and the Lu family.
"This Lu family, it's lucky, if Concubine Wan gives birth to a prince, Mrs. Lu will definitely support Concubine Wan's child, it's her own grandson."
"People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, pity His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Hahaha, why are they all watching the excitement, no matter what, they are all ordinary people, just live their lives safely."
······
Old lady Lu was so angry when he heard these gossips, the key is that everyone in his house said so, he was afraid that some people would think about it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has no two hearts, the minister is the prince and the prince, His Royal Highness the prince is amazingly talented, and he will definitely be a good monarch in the future." Old lady Lu also heard those gossips, so she hurriedly came to the East Palace to explain to the prince.
"Taifu, Lonely, naturally believe in Taifu, the concubine in the palace, what is Taifu going to do?" The prince is twenty years old, and he has been working on state affairs in recent years, and his health has long been out of order, and he has no heirs, once the child in Concubine Wan's belly is born, it is good to be a princess, he will be one more royal sister, if it is a prince, once he has the support of the Lu family, it is enough to pose a threat to him, really don't blame him for being ruthless.
"The minister understands that the minister will definitely solve this worry for His Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured." Old Lady Lu has always wanted to assist the crown prince, even if his concubine Concubine Wan is already pregnant with a dragon fetus, he has never wavered.
"In this way, Lone can rest assured." The prince heard a satisfactory reply, but he was not at ease.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Taifu, he just doesn't believe in people's hearts, born in the emperor's family, everyone is planning for themselves and planning for themselves, he has seen too many such people.
Old Lady Lu's answer is probably because Concubine Wan's child has not yet been born, I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, no matter what kind of plan he has, he will force Old Lady Lu to strangle all unknown changes in the cradle.
After Mrs. Lu returned to Lu's house, she went to see Zhang. The Zhang family still has that clear and quiet appearance, dedicated to worshiping the Buddha, even when he sees Mrs. Lu, there is not the slightest wave in his heart.
Old lady Lu was busy with the affairs of the court all day long, and rarely saw the Zhang family, since the Zhang family lived in the Buddhist hall, he had hardly seen the Zhang family. Now at first glance, Mrs. Lu is a little unaccustomed to it.
Zhang didn't seem to see Old Lady Lu come in, she continued to read her scriptures, knocking on the wooden fish, and her heart was not distracted.
Old lady Lu didn't make a sound to disturb Zhang, he just looked at her quietly.
In the end, it was Old Lady Lu who couldn't help but open his mouth first, he didn't have such good patience.
"I'll discuss something with you." Old lady Lu hadn't spoken to the Zhang family for a long time, and she didn't know how to say it for a while, so she said stiffly.
When Zhang heard Mrs. Lu's words, he stopped knocking on the wooden fish and didn't read the scriptures, so he waited quietly for Mrs. Lu's next words.
Old lady Lu didn't look back when he saw Zhang's head, nor did he speak, so he didn't get angry.
"Lu Wan is pregnant with a dragon fetus and has been made a concubine, it is estimated that after the first three months, the emperor will have a gift to allow the family to visit the palace, and when the time comes, you will go to see her and bring her something." Old lady Lu gave a simple explanation, then raised her leg and walked out.
"Why should I go?" The Zhang family finally reacted, she hid in the ancestral hall, what else do you want her to do?
His concubine, what does it have to do with her, what does she do?
Old Lady Lu paused, "Go and bring her something that has been aborted, I owe you." ”
When Zhang heard this, he was very shocked, he was also his own grandson, how dare he, how could he bear it.
However, as long as Lu Wan is not happy, she will be happy.
When Zhang was young, Mrs. Lu still liked her very much. Although it was a blind marriage, they were very satisfied with each other, and the husband and wife had been in love for several years.
Ever since Mrs. Lu became the crown prince, his cousin has been thinking about him all the time, but he doesn't know it, even if she reminds him, he always says, if you think so, I can't help it.
In the end, his cousin Liang actually took advantage of his drunkenness and climbed into his bed, and he had no choice but to take Liang as a concubine.
That's it, but the Liang family is not a worry-free person, and there will be a fuss at both ends in three days, and no matter how good the relationship between the husband and wife is, they can't withstand such a fuss.
Especially after the Liang family gave birth to a concubine for him, he became more and more kind to the Liang family, she really couldn't bear it, and fought with the Liang family for decades. Later, she finally got the opportunity to put the Liang family to death, but her relationship with Mrs. Lu was completely gone.
Now that Liang's daughter is going to suffer, she is naturally very happy. Although she didn't understand why Lu Wan's child couldn't be wanted, she knew that Lu Wan must be sad if she didn't have a child, and she was happy to see such a situation.
After a few days, as expected by Mrs. Lu, the emperor really asked the people of the Lu family to enter the palace to visit Concubine Wan.
According to the rules of the palace, the pregnant concubine, her family will be called into the palace to stay for a day, this is a gift, even if the relationship with the family is not good, the family members of the concubines have to enter the palace, after all, not entering the palace, it is equivalent to refusing the emperor's gift, in this dynasty where the imperial power is supreme, no one dares to offend the son of heaven.
It was already past noon when Zhang entered the palace, anyway, she and Liang's daughter had nothing to say, and they could leave after a while.
Because the Zhang family has a fate, she doesn't have to walk when she enters the palace, she sits in a sedan chair and sits all the way to Lu Wan's bedroom.
"Concubine Wan Niangniang is worthy of being a pregnant woman, and the palaces she lives in are so luxurious, which makes people envious." Although Zhang said words of envy, the disdain in his eyes made people look really good.
"Time has come and gone, and in the past, the main palace was not as good as it should be, but everything will be different from now on. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Zhang, you have to be careful. Lu Wan covered her mouth and smiled, she had never taken the Zhang family in her eyes, not to mention that now she had the emperor's support.
Zhang only felt that Lu Wan had become extremely abnormal.
