Chapter 6 The Hidden Knot of the Bead Birth

Since having Wang Qiang's 'bed', Concubine Li has become more and more beautiful, and she cherishes Wang Qiang even more, and she can't wait to stay with him day and night, she is a dignified and noble lady during the day, and at night, she will treat Wang Qiang as the emperor's general waiter, and the two of them have been together for more than a month.

At lunch at noon that day, Concubine Li felt that she had no appetite, so she put down her chopsticks after only a few bites, and asked Cai Ling'er to give the table full of meals to the people below, and hid in the room by herself. The weather is hot in summer, a basin of ice cubes was put in the room to cool down, she took off her smock and rested on the bamboo recliner to rest, suddenly felt a burst of disgust in her heart, retched twice, got up and saw a plate of hawthorn cake on the table, felt slanderous, sandwiched a piece and ate it, sweet and sour to the appetite, after a while, I ate a fine light, just wanted to ask the palace maid to bring another plate, but suddenly my heart tightened, how could I like to eat sour seedlings, she thought again, her monthly "red" days have passed seven or eight days and have not come, Could it be that there is? Thinking of this, Concubine Li suddenly slumped in her chair, her face was pale, and she almost fainted with horror.

If men and women get along with each other and don't take measures, they will naturally get pregnant, Wang Qiang is a first-time menstrual person, and he can't think of this layer if he is only greedy for pleasure, Concubine Li has never had any knowledge of contraception, and she even ignored this between her willful forgetfulness, and the love of men and women has been mixed for more than a month, and it will naturally take root!

The emperor's concubine had such a thing, not only was she killed, but also the family was beheaded, and she had to leave behind the eternal infamy of lewd and cheap materials, Concubine Li suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing on her, making her breathless. She sat there motionless, her mind blank and unable to think of anything. After a long time, she came back to her senses a little, frowned and thought about what to do, and asked Wang Qiang to get an idea? No, he's just a little eunuch, and he can't afford such a big thing; RBT? She's just a little girl, and she can't do it; It seems that I can only find Concubine Rong to find a way!

Concubine Rong is the concubine of the first emperor and the aunt of Concubine Li, after the death of the first emperor, she accompanied the queen mother to live in the palace, and her identity became a concubine. Concubine Li thought that Concubine Rong had lived in the palace for many years, had a lot of things, was familiar with people, and usually treated herself kindly, so there was no reason to betray herself. As if she had caught a boat gang in a drowning, she saw hope and immediately got up to look for Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong's residence is in a side hall next to Cining Palace, when Concubine Rong arrived there, Concubine Rong was playing cards with a few old palace people, Concubine Rong saw Concubine Li's heart-wrenched appearance, knew that she had encountered a problem, and hurriedly waved her hand to support a few palace people, and took Concubine Li to the back room alone, the two sat side by side on the bed, Concubine Rong took Concubine Li's hand and asked softly: "What's the matter, it's like losing your soul, is it possible that there is anyone in this palace who has wronged you?" ”

Concubine Li hesitated for a long time before she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Auntie, I, I seem to have it." ”

"Oh, you, you're pregnant?" The concubine asked softly, and then looked at Concubine Li suspiciously, from Concubine Li's expression, she felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, and deliberately said tentatively: "Pregnant with the prince, this is a good thing!" ”

Concubine Li suddenly grabbed the concubine's hand tightly and said tremblingly: "But, but, but the emperor hasn't been to me for half a year!" ”

The concubine narrowed her eyes and asked lightly, "So, this child is not the emperor?" ”

Concubine Li knelt down in front of the concubine with a plop, supported the concubine's knees with both hands, and said anxiously: "It's all my fault for being greedy for pleasure, auntie, you must help me find a way, you have always loved me the most, you must help me this time." Woooooo He began to cry.

The concubine helped Concubine Li up and said slowly: "Don't worry, tell me what's going on." ”

"That's the case------ Concubine Li told the matter between herself and Wang Qiang in detail without concealment, and then looked at the concubine expectantly with a pair of teary eyes. Concubine Na Rong has been widowed for many years, and she knows the pain of being a woman in the palace, and she is worried about Concubine Li's affairs, and she has a trace of inexplicable jealousy. After listening to Concubine Li's narration, the concubine closed her eyes slightly, slowly shook her fan, and thought about countermeasures. The concubines in the palace because of the loneliness of the empty boudoir, fornication with other men, and the fact that they were pregnant with children has been in the past dynasties, and it is not surprising that there are three strategies for encountering such a thing, one is to be fortunate by the emperor in recent days, so that the child is naturally a legitimate prince, and it is common to make a few wrong days before and after the day of production, and then dispose of the man who has fornicated with him privately, so that the ugly thing will be covered up unconsciously, and you can enjoy the glory in a down-to-earth manner, which is the best policy; The middle strategy is to quietly find a doctor to prescribe fetal medicine to beat the child in the womb, but there is a great risk in doing so, after all, it is in the palace, there are many people, and the fetus needs to prescribe, grab the medicine, decoction and other links, any link is slightly negligent, the consequences are unimaginable; The next strategy is to find a reason to cut yourself off, although you lose your life, you can save your reputation and your family from being involved. Concubine Li has just become pregnant, and the opportunity has not yet been revealed, of course, she has to fight for the best strategy, but Concubine Rong knows that Emperor Chongzhen is busy with government affairs, has few desires, and rarely returns to the harem, it is not easy for him to visit Concubine Li in the near future, how to think of a way to call the emperor to Zhongcui Palace? After pondering for a long time, Concubine Rong opened her eyes and asked, "What is the name of the little eunuch you said?" ”

"It's called Xiao Duozi." Concubine Li replied.

"Is his story really good?" The concubine asked.

"Yes, it's really good, better than what was sung in that play." Concubine Li remembered the stories and jokes that Wang Qiang had told her, and said sincerely.

"Well, I think so, in half a day, I went to the Queen Mother, went to you to listen to the story, and tried to let the Queen Mother invite the emperor over, you go back and prepare carefully, if the emperor stays with you for the night, this matter will be covered up. Let that little duozi prepare carefully, so that the queen mother and the emperor are happy, but this little eunuch must be disposed of afterwards, so that there will be no future troubles forever. You gave birth to a prince, and you will have something to rely on in the future, and you should also take care of your heart, and you can't mess around anymore. Alas, the life of this woman who is the emperor is the same, what do I not know, take it slowly! ”

Concubine Li nodded again and again, thinking that she would deal with Wang Qiang afterwards, she was reluctant to do so, and secretly thought that she would pass the current level first.

This Concubine Li returned to Zhongcui Palace to prepare according to the meaning of the concubine, and after sending Concubine Li away, Concubine Rong thought about it alone for a long time, and when she saw that it was still early, she got up and went to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had just taken a nap, and was panicking alone, when she saw Concubine Rong visiting, she laughed loudly: "The mourning family is panicking alone, and I want to find someone to talk to, but it just so happens that you came." ”

Concubine Rong stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "No, this person stays in the middle of nowhere, and always wants to talk to people to be more solid." ”

The two sat down, and the palace maid brought the freshly cut chilled watermelon, and the two chatted while eating. After chatting for a while, Concubine Rong deliberately changed the topic and said: "It's really not as good as a few years ago, a few years ago, there was often a drama troupe in this palace, and it could be lively for a few days, but now, it has been so clear and clear, I feel that life is difficult, alas." ”

"Yes! Now there are a lot of things going on outside, and after years of war, the money in the inner treasury is also tight, so I can't take care of these things, so let's talk about it when the situation is better. The Queen Mother was also deeply touched.

"It's not easy to say that this emperor is not easy, how many troubles are busy all day long, I heard that I haven't even returned to the harem for a few days, tsk, tsk, they all say that the emperor is majestic and noble, who knows these hardships inside, sometimes it is really not as happy and free as a flat-headed people." The concubine said.

These words reached the heart of the Queen Mother, and she sighed and said, "Alas! Who said it's not you, which mother's mother doesn't hurt, looking at his sad face all day long, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but I'm a woman, I can't help him, I just follow the hurry. ”

"This state affair is important, but the emperor's body and bones are not a trivial matter, you should persuade him to combine work and rest, and let go of it." The concubine said inducingly.

"yes, that's the reason." The Queen Mother nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the opportunity was almost over, Concubine Rong said as if she suddenly remembered: "By the way, yesterday Concubine Li came to me and told me that there was a little eunuch in her palace, who was the best at telling jokes and stories, making people happy. ”

"Such a good thing! I can't complain that I see that Concubine Li is always beautiful these days, and I dare to hold back the treasure in private, so let's go and stir her up together! The Queen Mother said excitedly.

Concubine Rong continued: "Okay, let's have some fun by ourselves, and we won't cause any trouble to the emperor, it couldn't be better." ”

"Eh, you also reminded me, I think it's better to take the emperor with me, and tell him to be loose and loose, don't keep straining that string all day long, and count me as a son who is a mother." The Queen Mother said with a smile. After speaking, the queen mother waved her hand and called Liu Hai, the chief eunuch in the palace, and ordered: "Go, tell Concubine Li, just say that I will go to her with the emperor, the concubine, oh, and the queen to listen to the story in the afternoon, and tell her to be prepared." Also, you go to the front and tell the emperor that you will rest for half a day tomorrow afternoon and accompany me to listen to the story. ”

"Yes, follow the decree of the Queen Mother" Liu Hai received the order, turned around and went out to deliver the decree. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Concubine Rong got up and said goodbye after a few more idle words.
