Chapter X
: The Queen's Premeditated Plan [I]
There was a new foreigner pastry chef in the Queen Mother's Palace, and he made some delicious pastries that were appreciated by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother invited the palace concubines to come to Cining Palace for a tea party.
After the arson murder case was investigated, Xian Guifei was released by the emperor, but she would never be favored again, because she almost killed Chenxi, the emperor was really disgusted with her, and the queen asked her family to get some incense from outside the palace to confuse the emperor, but left the emperor by her side.
The queen uses that incense every day, but there has been no movement, the queen is very anxious, she especially hopes that she will have a child immediately, and she can really keep the emperor. What's more, the emperor doesn't have a son, if he can give birth to an eldest son, if the emperor makes her son the crown prince, then she will be the only queen mother in the future, and her good life is completely counting on her belly, and it doesn't mean anything if she gives birth to a princess and a jade concubine. The queen mother has been in a hurry to hug the emperor and grandson, but everyone is not angry, and the Ulanala clan is angry, but the child died in the stomach.
The Queen Mother sat on the main seat, on both sides were the Queen and Chenxi, the Jade Concubine did not come because she was unwell, Concubine Li, Ying Guiren, Yue Guiren, Peng Meiren, Xu Changzai, Zhao Changzai, Chen promised to sit in the back seat. Mama Sun brought a few palace maids to bring up snacks and tea. Chinese court dim sum includes: sugar steamed cheese, osmanthus sugar steamed, chestnut flour cake, ruyi cake, auspicious fruit, pearl jade glutinous rice balls, lotus leaf soup, plum blossom cake, fragrant drink, rose cake, tangram dim sum, flower blossom wealth, Zhaoji abalone cup, four-color halva, and fresh meat moon cakes, Jinhua shortbread, wick cake, square cake, peach shortbread, radish cake, muffin cake and so on. Pearl jade rice balls, lotus leaf soup. There are also some western dim sum. Tea is coffee.
The Queen Mother ate a piece of tangram dim sum and said, "Let's try it, it's really delicious." All the concubines moved their chopsticks to eat snacks, and the queen just bit "uh" and vomited, Mama Su hurriedly supported the queen, and the queen mother asked Mama Sun to pass the imperial doctor.
Imperial Physician Chen said with joy on his face after taking a pulse: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen, the Queen Mother has been pregnant for a month, but the fetal direction is unstable, please don't be angry from time to time, let alone worry too much, the old minister prescribes a prescription for the Queen Mother, and it will be no problem to recuperate for a week."
The queen mother is very happy, the emperor has not had a concubine pregnant since he ascended the throne, the queen is pregnant, the queen mother ordered the imperial dining room to send bird's nest to the queen every morning, noon and evening, and the small snacks she usually eats should be more exquisite.
The concubines in the harem were unhappy, but the queen mother was happy and could only go against her own heart to laugh. The queen mother ordered everyone to go back to the palace to rest, and everyone retired, and the concubines and concubines of the palace prepared congratulatory gifts to go to Kunning Palace to congratulate them.
Chenxi and Concubine Li went to Kunning Palace together, and Concubine Li said to Chenxi, "Xi'er, what gift have you prepared?" I need to warn you, you are now on the cusp of the limelight, beware of the queen using this child to bring you down. The Queen Mother doesn't let you get up in the morning to say hello to the queen, it's better for you, so that the queen won't be unfavorable to you. Concubine Yu Niangniang is a good talker, she is much better than the queen. Chen Xi said: "Sister Min, don't worry, I will be careful of the queen." I won't be easily moved down by her, and the emperor and the queen mother are protecting me. ”
Imperial Physician Chen happened to be there, and the queen also asked Imperial Physician Chen to check these gifts to see if there were any things that hurt the fetus in these gifts. Imperial Physician Chen checked very carefully one by one, and Chenxi sent two excellent Dongzhu, as well as a tourmaline peace card, which was determined to be no problem after being inspected by Imperial Physician Chen.
The queen sat on the bed and said to everyone: "Thank you sisters for the gifts, I like every one very much, and I will thank my sisters after the birth of the prince." Chenxi spoke first: "The things sent by the concubines are all ordinary small objects, and the concubines only hope that the queen mother and the little prince like it, and as for the mother's thanks, the concubines dare not ask for extravagance." Concubine Li said: "Niangniang is now in a dangerous stage, and it is most important to maintain her body, as for the rest, it is not too late to wait for the little prince to speak when the moon is full." The queen said a few words to everyone and asked everyone to step down.
The queen said to Mama Su, "Mama Su, tell me." If this palace sacrifices this child, it is also worth it to bring down the Niu Hulu clan, and this palace will definitely have the opportunity to bring down her. Su touched the feeling that it was not worth it for the queen to do this, so she said: "Queen Mother, did you sacrifice the little prince just for a Zhen Zhaoyi?" In the future, Niangniang's child is the eldest son, and the emperor wants to make him the crown prince, and you will be the only queen mother in the future, and it is really not worth sacrificing the little prince. The queen glanced at Mama Su and said, "What's not worth it?" Bengong thinks it's worth it, she will have children after she dies, but there will never be her, and the children reborn in Bengong will still be the eldest son, and the children of Bengong can be truly happy without her, and the days after Bengong can be really happy, so it's worth it. ”
Although Mama Su and the queen have been together for a long time, the things that the queen has to sacrifice in this matter are really not worth it, and if there is a period of time, there may be more suitable sacrifices. The queen is really hopeless!
The emperor attaches great importance to the queen's children, and has always asked people to send food and supplements to Kunning Palace, and the emperor also tried to visit the queen in Kunning Palace, and other women in the harem were also snubbed by the emperor because of this child who did not know gender.
In the afternoon, Concubine Yu took her daughter Princess Jiayi to Yikun Palace to play with Chenxi, Chenxi liked Princess Jiayi very much, Princess Jiayi saw Chenxi, and she was not as recognizant as if she saw others, she had a good time with Chenxi, and Chenxi also liked this child more and more, how she hoped that she would have such a cute child in the future.
When Concubine Yu saw that Jiayi and Chenxi were having fun, she said to Chenxi: "Sister Zhen, are you willing to accept Jiayi as a righteous daughter." My sister is favored by the sixth palace, and her future future will definitely be much farther than my sister and me, if Jiayi can have such a stepmother as her sister, this palace will no longer have to worry about the second half of her life. Look at Princess Wencheng of Concubine Xin, who was married to Bianzang and his relatives by the emperor and the queen mother, and married a khan who could be his grandfather. ”
Chenxi understood what Concubine Yu meant, "My sister likes Princess Jiayi very much, since my sister's biological mother is willing, how can my sister refuse?" Sister rest assured, as long as my sister and I can have a good life, I will never let Jiayi suffer. If my sister's life is not good, it will not affect the future of the princess and her mother. ”
Concubine Yu said to Jiayi: "Jiayi, your blessing is really good, it's good to have such a stepmother who thinks she has a bright future!" Jiayi, don't be rude. Quick, call the stepmother. Jiayi called out sweetly, "Mother-in-law!" ”
