After several imperial doctors consulted and asked for a pulse, they all congratulated Jinshang: Wenxi County Jun is pregnant.

I can't fully describe Imagami's reaction at the time, but I can only say that this is undoubtedly the most joyful thing for him in more than a decade.

He first let out a long breath, as if half of the burden on his shoulders had suddenly been lifted, and then, he was surprised and smiled, and his eyes crossed the one hundred and ten people in front of him who were waiting for news outside the curtain, and now he was saluting him and congratulated the palace family, and found a few people from the two provinces before and after, and said in a trembling voice: "Go and prepare for the Taimiao ceremony...... Then he went and took an inventory of the gold and silk, and the vessels, and the things that were in the storehouse, that they might be given to them in the future...... Go to the door of Zhongshu to see if Xianggong is still there...... Who is the bachelor on duty today? ”

This time, the harem is happy, and it has received unprecedented attention and attention in the Great Internal Ban, both inside and outside the government and the opposition. After waiting for more than ten years, the forty-nine-year-old emperor finally had the hope of getting an heir, so the ministers who urged him to elect the prince of the clan as soon as possible all died down and congratulated him one by one. Under the joy of Longyan, it was announced the next day that a large construction project would be carried out to transform the house used by Emperor Zhenzong to handle official business when he was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion into a "Qianlong Palace" for the prince's future use.

Qiuhe's pavilion suddenly became lively, except for the emperor who would come to see her several times a day, the rest of the palace dependents, whether they were close to her on weekdays or not, always came to visit in an endless stream. Therefore, the princess stayed in the palace for two more days, and chose with her mother the embroidery pattern of the raw color cloth to be given when the child was born, and prepared to embroider the autumn and embroidered for the autumn with great interest.

"If you give birth to a little sister for me, I will personally make a flower dress for her in the future." The princess said to Qiu He with a smile.

As a result, he was slapped by Concubine Miao Xian's fan. "Nonsense! What Mrs. Dong wants to give birth to you is a little brother. Miao Niangzi said, turned to Qiuhe, and said with emotion, "Sister, if you can give birth to a prince, then you will ascend to the sky in one step......"

Qiu He just smiled lightly and bowed his head, and did not answer.

Before I went out of the palace with the princess, I went to see Qiuhe again, and I happened to meet Jinshang coming out of her pavilion, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a spring breeze on his face. When you go in, you can see that the hall is full of gold and jade utensils, silk and silk, which is really dazzling.

And Qiu He hid behind the veil and secretly wiped his tears.

I cautiously asked her why she was unhappy, and she smiled at me reluctantly and said, "Waiji, bless me, okay?" Please let me have a prince. ”

I immediately bowed my head: "Of course, I will pray for you." ”

"I ...... Very scared. She lowered her eyes and whispered her worries to me, "I'm afraid of disappointing the officials...... He's so happy now, but if I hadn't given birth to a boy, he'd be very sad in the future......"

Although I can't say many words of relief to her, I can imagine how she felt. Several imperial doctors said that judging from the pulse, Qiuhe is likely to be pregnant with a male fetus, and all the palace relatives also say that she has a suitable male appearance, and Jinshang has almost decided that she will give birth to a son, and every time she gives an order, it is to prepare for the birth of the "prince", as if it is for the minister, but also for herself. It's just that if the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, how much you look forward to it now, how disappointed you will be in the future. As a concubine, Qiu He is also an outlier, she doesn't like to compete for favor and chase fame and fortune, and other ladies are worried that they can't give birth to a prince mostly because of their own future, while she is simply afraid of making her husband sad, although her feelings for him may not be called love.

Therefore, when a month later, there was good news in the palace that the Zhou family of Anding County Jun was pregnant, I think Qiuhe should feel a little more relaxed. When I saw her again, she was very good-looking, and her smile was much brighter than it had been at first.

The two ladies have been happy, the possibility of giving birth to the prince has increased greatly, and now the more and more happy, several imperial feasts have been set up in the palace in a row, and the minister's wife and the family members of the clan have also entered the palace to congratulate.

After an internal banquet, the emperor and queen left the princess and the uncle and wife to talk in the inner hall. Because the people present were all familiar relatives and the topic was not very formal, Yu Chongyi asked the princess with a smile: "The princess has been down for more than a year, I don't know when the official family will be happy and hold a grandson?" ”

The princess was not stunned, frowned and said nothing, Yu Chongyi also said that she was shy, so she still smiled and turned to Mrs. Guo: "I heard that the Holy Mother of the Jade Immortal Temple outside the city is very effective, why not let the princess take the princess to the incense to ask for an heir?" Maybe next year, at this time, Uncle Guo will be able to enter the palace with her grandson. ”

Hearing Yu Chongyi say that to the princess, Mrs. Yang's face was already very ugly, and when she heard this again, she immediately showed a sneer, and replied to Yu Chongyi: "Where is the mother who sends a child so effective that a couple who has never touched their fingers can give birth to a child?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the palace relatives looked at each other in amazement, and Yu Chongyi was also stunned and did not speak again.

As soon as Mrs. Yang's heart was aroused, she couldn't help but say: "Carrying your grandson into the palace? I would have liked, but that grandson was not born to a colt alone. The couple's bedrooms are separated by 3,000 miles, and it is strange that they can give birth to children! No matter how effective the mother is, people don't want to give birth at all, what's the use......"

Concubine Miao Xian saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly diverted the topic: "The wife of the uncle has already had a grandson. A few days ago, the sister-in-law of the horse also brought a few of her brothers into the palace, I think the eldest brother is also in his teens, I don't know what officials can be made up? ”

This successfully diverted Mrs. Yang's attention, and she quickly shifted her focus to seeking an official for her eldest grandson: "A few days ago, I was still telling my sister-in-law, it's okay to take the child out, the child is more than ten years old, and it is inevitable to meet some nobles when he goes out, and he is always dressed in white clothes, and he is not like words, saying that he is a relative of the emperor and the country, wouldn't it be a shame for the official family......"

The day's gathering ended with the addition of the son of Li Zhang, the eldest brother of the horse, who promised to be the horse, and then the uncle and wife went back to the princess's house first, and the queen left the princess, summoned into the inner room of the Rouyi Palace, and let Miao Xianfei and Yu Chongyi go together, probably to ask the princess about the princess.

In the past year, the queen and Concubine Miao Xian have not asked about the princess's husband and wife, but the princess was silent and did not answer, and then asked Liang Dujian, he also excused himself and said that it was inconvenient to ask about this matter, and suggested that they ask the Han family, and the Han family was dedicated to protecting the princess, and Su Ri couldn't get used to Li Wei's simple and ugly appearance, so he never told them the truth, but just said that everything was fine, and prevaricated the question.

Therefore, now the information revealed by Madame Yang was unexpected by them, and the princess was summoned into the inner room for a secret talk, obviously to persuade her.

I went with the princess to the palace of Rouyi, but I did not enter the inner room, but only stood in the hall and waited. Far away, I couldn't hear what the concubines were saying, but I felt that they were whispering, thinking that they should be taking turns to persuade the princess to accept the concubine.

I waited like this for more than half an hour. At first the princess was silent, but when she finally spoke, she spoke in a raised and indignant voice: "No, you are not me, how can you understand my feelings?" Daddy, if not the emperor, was a gentle and handsome scribe, so you can't imagine how I feel when I face a mediocre and ugly husband...... He has nothing, only a copper smell, squandering the money given by his father, making frivolous fox friends and dog friends, wanting to be elegant and elegant, but not the essentials, the last time he wanted to buy calligraphy and paintings to his father and his son, but he bought a bunch of fakes and came back, and the paintings of Xu Chongsi and Guo Xi that were finally presented were still found by Huaiji...... If your husband is such a person, can you also be in the same room with him without any worries? ”

I was slightly surprised to see her so excited, and I couldn't help but take a few steps in the direction of the inner room.

After that, there was silence, and the three concubines did not speak again. The princess calmed down a little and continued, her tone was not as aggressive as before, but her voice was still very clear: "Daddy married me to him to glorify the lintel of the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, so as soon as I enter his house, this purpose will be achieved, and the Li family will have another layer of imperial status, and Li Wei can also enjoy the title of Captain of the Horse for the rest of his life." I am not a man, I don't have to bear the responsibility of continuing the bloodline of the clan, and I don't limit Li Wei to concubines, he can have as many women as he wants, he can have as many children as he wants, and his heirs will not be cut off because of me. In the future, if his concubine gives birth to a child, I can also treat it as my own, and ask my father to make them more official and knighted...... Isn't that enough? Why do you want me to ...... with him?"

Concubine Miao Xian lowered her voice and said something to her earnestly, but the princess still didn't accept it, and only replied: "Do you mean happiness, sister?" We are different. Your happiness may be that you are favored by your husband and can spend more time with him, and the only happiness I can pray for now is that the person I hate is far away from me, so that I can live in peace. ”

The princess ended the conversation with these few categorical words, and then several concubines persuaded her several times, but they all returned in vain. Jinshang was also quite worried, and summoned Liang Dujian to ask Han, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to ask Liang Dujian to convey his meaning to the concubine: The princess still needs to be enlightened, and the concubine must wait patiently and not anger the princess.

In addition, it is also shown that a colt can take a concubine.

When Mrs. Yang heard the news, she immediately began to ask for a concubine for her concubine, and declared in a high-profile manner that this was an order, but Li Wei did not cooperate, and he blindly rejected the beautiful woman his mother found, and he was not even interested in seeing it.

Mrs. Yang was displeased, and couldn't help but scold again, and had many opinions about the princess. Han was angry when he heard this, and with the consent of the princess, he asked Liang Dujian to persuade the concubine to take a concubine as soon as possible. Liang Dujian also went, and soon after he brought the news of the horse's refusal: "I persuaded him for a long time, but he just bowed his head and said nothing, and finally only said: 'If I take a concubine, then I and the princess can only be like this forever?'" ’”
