Chapter 61: The Scourge of Production (5)
On the other side, the concubine of King De, who came with the Queen Mother, hurriedly came over and saluted Yun Xiao:
"The slave maid Jiang has seen the queen's mother, the mother is ......"
"Hurry up, look at you like this, you're about to give birth, sit down!"
When Yun Xiao heard that she still called herself a "slave" instead of a "concubine", she knew that Princess De had given her a lot of hardship, and she was also a woman with a hard life, so she let her sit without waiting for her to finish.
The queen mother above glanced at Yun Xiao faintly, stretched out her hand to take the tea presented by the palace people, and said while leisurely fiddling with the tea lid:
"Queen, the mourning family came to you today with King De's concubine, first, to let the two of you meet, and secondly, to ...... She is about to give birth, but she doesn't even have a name, it's too unseemly, she comes from a humble background, but what she is carrying in her belly is the child of King De, and when the child is born, you can't let the child follow her and suffer the eyes of the world together! ”
It turned out that this was the case, Yun Xiao's eyes turned slightly, and he said:
"The queen mother is thoughtful, and she really needs to give her a name! It's just that...... I don't know, what does Princess De mean in this matter? This matter was originally handed over to Princess De to be the master, not to mention, the emperor had already handed over their mother and son to Princess De to take care of, and now it seems that Princess De also takes good care of it......"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she deliberately let out a long sigh, put down the teacup in her hand, and said:
"This princess of virtue looks virtuous on the surface, and she looks like a person, but in fact...... Queen, you have also seen it, if this Princess De is willing to give this Jiang family a name, the Mourning family will not bring her to you, anyway, no matter what, the affairs of the harem are up to you, and the Mourning family also knows that you have always been soft-hearted, so you will look at the child in her belly, reward her with a name, so that the child can be born decently, you are in charge, Princess De naturally does not dare to say anything. When the time comes, the child will be born, and King De will also remember your kindness......"
The Queen Mother's words are good, but the things that offend people are told to Yun Xiao to do it, will King De read Yun Xiao's kindness, Yun Xiao doesn't know, Princess De will definitely hate Yun Xiao because of this, but she can't run away anyway.
Remember the URL mom
Yun Xiao secretly sighed in her heart, and then turned her eyes to look at the Jiang family, she was really pitiful, originally Xia Rui let Princess De enter the De Palace, and she didn't think about giving her a good life.
However, Yun Xiao knew in her heart that no matter how pitiful the Jiang family was, it was also her opposite, and she should not be sympathetic to her, she could have pushed the queen mother's request, and asked the queen mother to take the Jiang family directly to find Xia Rui on the grounds that "the emperor does not allow the middle palace to interfere in the affairs of the harem for the time being", but Yun Xiao couldn't bear it after all, as a woman.
She said: "What the queen mother said is reasonable, since this is the case, for the sake of the emperor's heir, she will be named Liangdi first, and after the child is born, if there is a promotion, it will be handed over to Princess Yude to be the master!" ”
According to the regulations of the harem of the Great Xia Kingdom, in addition to the princess, the royal concubines have four ranks: side concubines, concubines, beloved, and Liangdi, among them, Liangdi is the lowest level, but compared with the concubines who have no name, they are already regarded as serious masters in the palace.
When the Jiang family on the side heard this, she couldn't help crying with joy, she hurriedly got up again, so excited that she even knotted her words:
"Slave maid...... Slaves...... Slave and maid, thank you to the queen...... Thank you, Queen Mother......"
The Queen Mother glanced at her lightly, as if she hated iron but not steel, she cleared her throat and interrupted Jiang's words:
"You are now a serious master, why do you still call yourself a slave?"
When Jiang heard this, his face turned pale, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly changed his name:
"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother, thank you Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother was finally satisfied, she waved her hand at the Jiang family, and the Jiang family hurriedly retreated to her seat and sat down, not daring to say another word.
Here, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at Yun Xiao again, and praised with a smile:
"Or the queen is virtuous and sensible, and the mourning family is a little bit clear, in fact, the mourning family has long said that the emperor chose you to be the crown princess, which is the most suitable, and now, you have become the queen again, and it is very appropriate to take charge of the harem, and you can take care of this harem, and the mourning family also saves a lot of worry! You are also pregnant now, and you should rest more, the mourning family will not stay with you longer, queen, you should rest early! ”
"Yes, the concubine sends off the queen mother!"
finally sent the Queen Mother and the Jiang family away, and Yun Xiao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, on the same night, there was shocking news in the palace of King De.
The Jiang family, who had just been promoted to Liangdi, actually died in her own bedroom in the middle of the night.
When the news came into the palace, the harem was in an uproar, and when the queen mother heard the news, she was grieved and cried, and even sent the imperial doctor to Shou'an Palace for treatment.
At that time, Xia Rui was resting in the Chengqian Palace, and when he received the news, he got up as soon as possible and asked Liu An about the ins and outs of the matter.
Liu An knelt at his feet, bowed his head slightly, and reported to him:
"Today, during the day, the Queen Mother took the Jiang family to the Middle Palace, saying that it was ...... The Jiang family is about to give birth, and the princess of De is reluctant to give the Jiang family a title, so she wants the queen to reward the Jiang family's title, which is not a big deal, the queen rewarded the Jiang family's position of Liangdi, and the Jiang family left the middle palace and returned to the Dewang Mansion. Princess De heard that the title was rewarded by the queen, and she did not embarrass the Jiang family, and later ...... In the evening, there was news of abdominal pain in Jiang's pavilion, which was still a month before the birth, everyone thought that Jiang was born prematurely, so they hurried to find the midwife, but when the midwife arrived, they found that Jiang was out of breath, and the child was ...... The child was not saved......"
How does all this sound so weird?!
This Jiang family, why did they give birth prematurely after seeing Yun Xiao again, and the mother and son died?!
What's going on here?
The more Xia Rui thought about it, the more frightened he felt, a thick layer of cold sweat unconsciously oozed from his back, he stared at Liu An deadly, and asked in a deep voice:
"Liu An, the Queen Mother has been to the Middle Palace during the day today, why didn't you report it to me in advance? Didn't I already pass on the decree and not allow the middle palace to interfere in the affairs of the harem? When will the matter of Queen Tade's backyard be used to annoy the queen?! How did you get on an errand?! ”
Xia Rui was angry, and Liu An was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
He hurriedly kowtowed three times in a row and explained:
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry...... The errand handed over by the emperor to the slave, the slave did not dare to slack off, and the slave also just learned that the queen mother had been to the middle palace during the day, and she did not intend to hide it, and asked the emperor for forgiveness...... You also know that the queen mother has always been soft-hearted, she probably thought it was not a big deal, but poor Jiang gave her a name, who knew that there would be a file thing......"
