Chapter 167: Autumn Hunting
Finally coaxed the queen to be happy, Chu Jinrong pulled the emperor aside and said to him: "If the father doesn't want to coax the queen mother every three or five days in the future, don't accept the harem again."
Seeing that the queen no longer pursued the matter of the concubine, the big stone in the emperor's heart finally fell to the ground, he glanced at Chu Jinrong angrily, but first praised his approach.
"The person who made the merit is Li Qiuchi, and the method is what she thinks." Chu Jinrong kindly reminded.
"She is the crown princess, can you think of a way, isn't it because you teach your wife well?" The emperor didn't care, in his opinion, the two of them were together, and everyone was the same.
Chu Jinrong didn't intend to entangle with him in this regard, so he turned his words and said, "Father, please listen to your son's words, don't go to other concubines often, so as not to make people gossip."
"Is there anything wrong with the harem? Who dares to gossip about me! The emperor spread his hands and answered confidently.
Chu Jinrong rolled his eyes and said, "But if you have a conflict with the queen mother next time, don't ask your sons to come to help."
The emperor finally changed his complexion: "Your solution is to let me favor the queen, but if this is the case, where will my heirs come from?"
Chu Jinrong was helpless, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but when the emperor saw Chu Jinrong like this, he actually eased his expression, and persuaded him bitterly: "You are now the crown prince, and when you sit in this position of me, you will also be widely accepted in the harem, maybe it will be better than me."
Chu Jinrong hurriedly knelt down and refused: "But Erchen doesn't want to recruit the harem after ascending the throne."
The emperor was puzzled: "Why is this?"
Where did Chu Jinrong dare to say that he didn't want to make too much trouble in An Cheng, this must not be used as a reason not to accept a concubine, so he had to use Li Qiuchi to block the gun in a hurry: "If I accept the three palaces and six courtyards, I'm afraid Qiuchi will not be very happy."
The emperor felt that Chu Jinrong was too willful, and as soon as he thought of the absurd words, he couldn't help it because he wanted to be decent, so he had to change his words, and said angrily: "It's not difficult for you to think that only Li Qiuchi is alone, as long as you let Li Qiuchi give me a grandson, I won't ask about your concubine."
It is enough to give birth to a child with royal blood, such conditions seem very tempting, although Chu Jinrong was a little shaken, he did not agree for a while: "That's too early, let's talk about it later."
The emperor thought about this matter, and in order to let Li Qiuchi give birth to a grandson for him, he waved his hand and gave Li Qiuchi a lot of rewards.
People come from the sky to sit at home, Li Qiuchi can't help but look at the big supplements that keep pouring into his home every day, and he wants to send them back for fear of saving the emperor's face, so he has to accept it first, and then make another plan when he is free.
But the emperor's gifts are never low-key, and the news that Li Qiuchi has received a lot of rewards has been spread, and for a while, many dignitaries and nobles in Ancheng were red-eyed, and even the emperor's harem concubines have heard of it.
"Li Qiuchi!" The new concubine gritted her teeth and read the name, the emperor has rarely come to her since the queen was angry once, it is rumored that the crown princess is good at regulating family chores, is it that the affairs of the emperor and the queen are also her ghosts?
If that's the case, she will make Li Qiuchi have a hard time!
After thinking about it again and again, she secretly ordered people to spread rumors everywhere, since the emperor sent people everywhere to send great supplements, he must have wanted to take care of Li Qiuchi's body, so this Li Qiuchi is afraid that his body is weak and he can't give birth to children?
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Since Li Qiuchi has used means to make her no longer favored, she also has to make Li Qiuchi unable to sit firmly in the position of the crown princess!
And as soon as this rumor came out, coupled with the fact that the emperor kept asking people to give gifts to Li Qiuchi, naturally many people believed in this matter.
After hearing the news, many officials began to activate their minds, racking their brains to stuff people around Chu Jinrong. Once you catch the crown prince, even if you are a side concubine, you can make your own family soar and make countless profits.
How many people are jealous of this position, and Yushi Chen Jing is naturally no exception.
"It's true that this princess can't give birth to children?" He was cautious and sent someone out to investigate, but the rumor spread ten or ten hundreds, and the source was no longer verifiable, and what he found was nothing more than those people swore that it was true.
So he made a calculation in his heart, not because he was upset, but because he thought that his family background was not bad, and his daughter Chen Ruoliu was not bad, so he was not afraid that Chu Jinrong would not be moved.
It just takes some means.
But before these people could fight for a victory, it was the day of the annual autumn hunt, and Li Qiuchi, as the crown princess, naturally wanted to go with him, stay away from those rumors, and listen to the maid when he packed up his clothes.
"Who are the people who went to the autumn hunt?" Li Qiuchi said curiously.
"Back to the crown princess, it's still the usual people, but this time the second prince's concubine brought the newborn child with her, cute and tight." The maid gave a long list of names.
Li Qiuchi's eyes lit up, and he first sent someone to inquire about the carriage where the concubine was sitting, and then slipped to the carriage she was in when the carriage was moving.
Seeing her come in, the concubine was stunned for a moment, and then she was about to get up and salute her, Li Qiuchi waved her hand to signal no, but her eyes fell on the child in the concubine's arms.
Concubine Zheng understood, and after Li Qiuchi sat down, she immediately asked the child to call her.
"This child is as dexterous as you are." Li Qiuchi praised while teasing the child.
"If the crown princess also has children, she must be as beautiful as you." Concubine Zheng said, "I wonder when the crown princess plans to have one?" ”
Li Qiuchi looked embarrassed, and was thinking about how to find an excuse to cover it up, when he felt that the carriage had stopped bumping.
The eyes of the two fell to the window in unison, and when someone asked, they realized that they had arrived at the royal station.
"I see, the road is long, and it is not uncommon for carriages to stop." Concubine Zheng explained to Li Qiuchi with a smile. The latter breathed a sigh of relief, and when the maid came, he was helped out of the carriage to rest, and the children around him did not forget to take them down and hand them to the maid on the side.
Li Qiuchi has never been to this place, after getting off the carriage, she moved around this post house, in the end, it is a royal post house, covering a large area, and she even found a lake behind this post house.
The children who followed the maid also felt the novelty, and went to the lake to play in the company of the maid.
But they are not the only ones by the lake, Chen Ruoliu is also there, she sits on the shore and weaves the grass, and the child's laughter comes from far and near, she turns her head and sees a child running in front of her, looking at herself curiously, and it didn't take long for her eyes to fall on the little tiger woven with grass in her hand.
