Chapter 619: The Empress's Troubles
Chu Moyang does not have many concubines in the harem, and he does not work hard, so there are not many heirs.
The queen had nothing to do, Concubine Shu gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Chu Zheng, and Concubine Jing gave birth to Princess Chu Yan, one was three years old and the other was two years old.
Chu Moyang ordered the prince to be brought over so that the children could get acquainted with it.
Chu Zheng was already able to speak, but it wasn't clear yet, and he called his cousin twice.
Chu Yan was babbling, but she could barely understand that she was calling her cousin.
Yan Hong and Yan Yu were overjoyed, full of protection, and the four children quickly got together.
Chu Moyang watched from the side and smiled and didn't go down, but he still had political affairs to deal with, so he asked Mu Qingzhi to take care of them more.
Before leaving, he asked Father-in-law Qi to bring two delicate jade locks carved from white jade and hung them on the Yanhong brothers to show his gratitude.
Chu Moyang is a virtuous person, and he asked his biological mother to raise the princess.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing came to the Phoenix Hall to pick up the children, and naturally saw the jade lock around their necks.
The two were not in a hurry to leave, they went to the side hall to talk to the queen, listening to the laughter of the children, the two glanced at each other, and they were not in a good mood.
"Queen Mother, I didn't expect the emperor to reward them with this pair of jade locks." Concubine Shu was sour, "The concubine still thinks that the emperor kept this pair of jade locks because he wanted to reward the concubine born to the queen's mother in the future." ”
When she gave birth to Chu Zheng, she asked Chu Moyang for something to do with this piece of jade to keep the child safe.
But Chu Moyang didn't agree, but gave her other rewards.
Unexpectedly, now this piece of jade hit a pair of jade locks and fell on the neck of King Ling's son.
How could she not be angry, her son was the eldest son of the emperor, or Chu Moyang's own son!
Mu Qingzhi twisted her eyebrows, she had been in the harem for a long time, and she could hear the jealousy of the concubine, so her face was pale, and she said: "The emperor will reward whoever he likes, and the palace will naturally have no opinions." ”
Concubine Jing is actually the same as Concubine Shu, although she was born a princess, but the emperor has few heirs, and she feels that the princess should also be valued.
She smacked her mouth and said, "The queen mother is the most tolerant, but the queen mother is not worried, the emperor loves King Ling's son too much, will there be more trouble?" ”
When Mu Qingzhi calculated about Su Yinyue, they naturally heard about it, after all, Mu Qingzhi was still in seclusion for a period of time because of this.
Coupled with the fact that Mu Qingzhi was younger than them, Concubine Jing naturally did not speak much respectfully.
Mu Qingzhi couldn't hear what she meant, didn't it just mean that she was on guard.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a sneer: "What is there to worry about in this palace, there are no biological children in this palace, so I can't understand your feelings." ”
Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing choked, but they didn't expect the queen to speak with thorns today, not soft persimmons.
"The queen doesn't need to worry, the emperor often comes to you, maybe the queen will have good news soon." Concubine Shu said.
Concubine Jing nodded: "Yes, the queen mother will take the two children with her for a while, it will work, the people say so." ”
Mu Qingzhi didn't care about this, she had been recuperating her body for a long time, and if she couldn't conceive it, she had already looked down on it.
She replied casually and coped with it.
Concubine Shu rolled her eyes, but said, "Niangniang, it's better for you to keep Your Highness by your side, Your Highness should still follow the mother of the main palace." ”
After hearing this, Concubine Jing immediately glared at Concubine Shu, thinking that this Concubine Shu is really ambitious!
This is thinking that the queen can't give birth to a son, so she wants Chu Zheng to be raised under the queen's knees, and it will be justified in the future!
Mu Qingzhi lowered her eyes, thinking of Chu Zheng's little face, Chu Zheng followed Concubine Shu's temperament, had some small ambitions, and was not very well-behaved, so she naturally didn't like it very much.
"His Royal Highness has been following you, and he will be unhappy when he comes to this palace." Mu Qingzhi refused, "The emperor let you, your biological mother, raise him, this is your grace, are you going to live up to the emperor's grace?" ”
Concubine Shu's face froze, and she quickly got up: "Concubine is scared, I don't mean this, I just think about ......"
"In that case, don't mention it again." Mu Qingzhi interrupted her.
Concubine Shu's face was pale, and there was nothing else to say.
Concubine Jing gloated and glanced at Concubine Shu, the two didn't get any benefits, so they took their children and went back to the palace, after all, they had to go back to the palace banquet later, and they had to go back to prepare.
There is a grandmother who takes Yan Hong and them to freshen up, and Mu Qingzhi also has to start preparing, after all, she is the queen of the main palace, and there are still a lot of things to arrange.
was combing her makeup, Mu Qingzhi remembered something and said, "By the way, the palace made two small sachets before, you take them out, and the palace will give them to the children later." ”
"Is Niangniang a gift to the little son of King Ling's Mansion?" The aunt in charge asked.
Mu Qingzhi bowed slightly.
The aunt in charge first responded, and then said: "Niangniang, in fact, what Concubine Shu just said is reasonable, looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that she values those two little sons very much. Niangniang also knows what happened before, the emperor values affection, and it is very likely that he will ...... Mother, you have to get pregnant quickly. ”
King Ling is unwilling to be the emperor of the Great Apocalypse, but it doesn't mean that his son is unwilling, not to mention that King Ling has two sons, one person has a throne, and there is no need to fight for it.
Mu Qingzhi subconsciously looked at her stomach, and her eyes faded a little: "There is no fate for children in this palace, this is a helpless thing, the emperor has such an idea, it is not impossible, the emperor has the final say." ”
"How can this work!" The aunt in charge was anxious, "In this case, Niangniang might as well lead His Royal Highness to her side to raise, even if Niangniang doesn't like His Royal Highness, when other concubines give birth to the prince, Niangniang can also bring the prince over, this is better than that idea." ”
Mu Qingzhi seemed to be thinking and didn't speak for a long time.
Later, Yan Hong and Yan Yu freshened up, changed into a clean little brocade robe, and ran in happily.
Yan Yu ate some delicious food here at Mu Qingzhi last night, and forgot about the previous grudge, and saw Mu Qingzhi beautiful, honorable and luxurious, and wowed: "Second aunt, you are so beautiful!" ”
Mu Qing's eyebrows were full of smiles, and she said softly, "Really? Yu'er is really good at talking. ”
Yan Yu simply asked: "The honey crisp I ate yesterday, can I eat it again today?" ”
Yan Hong was speechless, tugged on Yan Yu's sleeve, and reminded: "My mother said, if you eat so much sugar all day long, you will be prone to tooth decay." ”
"It's not in the way, just rinse your mouth well after eating, I have added this pastry to the palace banquet, and Yu'er will be able to eat it at the banquet later."
Mu Qingzhi glanced at the aunt in charge, and the aunt in charge immediately understood, and took out the two small sachets, which were festive red and embroidered with bats, implying peace and blessings.
"This is embroidered by the second aunt herself, it is filled with mosquito repellent spices, and there is a peace charm, the second aunt hopes that you will be safe and happy in the future." Mu Qingzhi said.
