The lady who said this last sentence was a small character who had never been eye-catching, and her name had not been passed down for a long time, but it was the first time that this sentence came out of her mouth today, and it was the first time that it was so influential that everyone in the palace was stunned.

Those in the know, such as Chu Zikai and the ladies, have long been excited, and when they mention it at this time, they are very calm, while those who don't know, such as the ministers and concubines, suddenly learned the news of the emperor's inheritance, and their expressions were sad and joyful in addition to the common slight stunned, and it seemed that it was really exciting.

"How is that possible!"

Hate to the bone, can not accept the fact that Yu Zhao is pregnant, Liu Zhaorong is impatient, blocked by jealousy and hatred, slapped the table and got up, his words and deeds are a little out of proportion:

"Why don't we know any news, how can she be pregnant, how can she ......?"

"Presumptuous! What kind of bastard are you talking about?"

As soon as he mentioned the child, Chu Zikai was so happy in his heart, there was always such a nasty person to obstruct his eyes and ears, and he hurriedly frowned and scolded Liu Zhaorong back.

In order to save face for Yu Zhao again, Chu Zikai then got up and left his seat, went to the table next to Yu Zhao, took her side by side, carefully supported her waist, raised a glass and announced to His Royal Highness:

"In the afternoon, the first diagnosis of the Hu Hospital of the Imperial Hospital, Concubine Yi is happy, it has been a month long, on the occasion of the New Year's Festival, and such a happy event, my heart is very happy and gratified, with the great Chu up and down, sharing the joy of I and Concubine Yi, all of you love Qing at the end of the year, one should be rewarded twice, the people and farmers, the next year's tax, one should be reduced by half!"

Looking at Chu Zikai's body that week, Yu Zhao was in a state of boredom, and he couldn't help but feel too funny, and his eyebrows stretched slightly.

On the other hand, the ministers, they don't think there is anything funny about such a solemn thing, they all put their hearts very cautious, you must know that since Chu Zikai ascended the throne, they have never seen him happy like this, from which it can be inferred that his attention to the child in Yu Zhao's womb can definitely be called extraordinary.

If it is a prince, as soon as he is born, the eldest son and the noble son occupy all the titles, and the mother concubine is a prominent person who can monopolize the favor, then the position of the prince can be determined nine times out of ten...... The ministers had a small calculation in their hearts, but they were afraid that they would slow down others to show their loyalty, so they rushed to put on a smile, knelt down and bowed their heads:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

There are so many people who are maintaining, and their stomachs are still so competitive, at this time, if they can find out Yu Zhao's big problem, I am afraid that they will not be able to shake her status a few points, Liu Zhaorong and Zhao Guiren's expectations have been completely shattered.

Seeing that the matter was not successful, a dragon fetus appeared in Yu Zhao's stomach, Liu Zhaorong and the others were so angry that they couldn't control their bodies and trembled, gritting their teeth and cursing them with unbearable words such as sluts in their hearts, even so, it was not enough to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

And Concubine Ling, who suddenly ate this unexpected big move, after a moment of surprise, the sense of loss that welled up in her heart was enough to beat her into discouragement, knowing that this defeat was a foregone conclusion, no matter how she was powerless, in addition to the pain, she had to pull the corners of her mouth to show a smile, and said against her heart in a happy tone:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, concubine, sister Yi!"

It's not simple, Yu Zhao looked coldly at Concubine Ling's face, which changed very quickly and very naturally, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she was not carried away by everyone's congratulations, and still remembered the unsettled accounts, and said directly:

"No need, since you have calculated the heart of the palace, there is no need to congratulate the palace against your will, this is with a false blessing, the palace and the child in the womb can't afford it!"

People with straightforward temperament are rare in the world, and there are even fewer people like Yu Zhao who will say their sincere words without reservation and listen to them, Concubine Ling will not be refuted by her in public, the stiff smile on her face can't hold it, and gradually disappears, and then tears rain down, sobbing and defending herself:

"Sister, you are Mingjian, my sister really doesn't have this heart......"

"Whether Concubine Ling has this intention or not, only you know best," Over the years, Mrs. Li's discerning eyes, how many moths she has seen, no matter how old and confused, she can see clearly and understand, and she is not salty or indifferent: "But Zhaorong Niangniang and others, as well as Ling Shilang, have just been disrespectful to Concubine Yi, and the courtiers and adults have seen it in their eyes, so you can't just forget it!" ”

The situation has obviously been completely reversed, in fact, since the moment Mrs. Zhang stood up to speak for Yu Zhao, Concubine Ling had already noticed that the recruitment that Yu Zhao secretly used to buy people's hearts was used very well, and the group of ladies in the palace had reached a concept of blessing and sharing with her.

And now, Yu Zhao has already seen through the tricks behind the scenes, and has obtained the maintenance of Li Lao Taijun, Chu Zikai, as usual, is still partial to her, she has another imperial heir in her belly for her long body, all kinds of confidence blessings, so that Concubine Ling is besieged on all sides and has no way to escape, in order to be able to retreat with her whole body, she can only bite the last reason:

"Your Majesty, sister, the concubine really only thinks of the hardships of the victims in northern Xinjiang, so she will practice frugality, and she has never touched her sister's bad luck......

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said for Yu Zhao:

"Concubine Yi Niangniang is also wearing a gorgeous dress and crown in order to follow Si Tiantai's prophecy, but she has just been criticized by the ladies for being so pitiful, Ling Shilang is even more excessive, and even moved out of the demon Concubine Yu to insult her, and now just by your words, let her and you not care, this is unreasonable."

Liu Zhaorong was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent, so he immediately chose to cheer for Concubine Ling, and retorted: "It's because I saw that Concubine Yi didn't contribute to the victims in northern Xinjiang!" The squire is a man who is unhappy for the people! ”

Zhang Yunzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that his wife had curryed favor with the right person, and his courage to see the situation clearly was also magnified, and he said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhaorong Niangniang's words are wrong, to know that the disaster in northern Xinjiang can be alleviated so quickly, the help of Yecheng Wangfu to Dachu is still the key, and the materials, rice and grain, and silver money for disaster relief, Yecheng Wang can give it in the name of Concubine Yi, how can she say that she has no heart to contribute?"

"Chen Lingfeng, I am willing to admit the crime of offense, but there is one thing that feels unjust!" Seeing that Concubine Ling was about to lose her dignity when she was attacked from all sides, Ling Feng tried his best to stabilize his position, and asked in a voice:

"Concubine Yi Niangniang's prophecy of receiving blessings in response to the Tiantai of the Ying Division, or for the sake of the dragon fetus in the womb, there is nothing wrong with being able to enjoy gorgeous clothes and jade food, and the meritorious ministers of the Yecheng Palace's contribution to the relief of the famine in northern Xinjiang also admit that why Concubine Ling Niangniang acted frugally at the time of the catastrophe, that is, it was useless but guilty? Why should it be called hypocrisy? Your Majesty is like this, is there any suspicion of favoritism? ”

"Now is the time of great calamity? Why don't I know? ”

In order to ensure that the wind direction would not deviate to the direction unfavorable to Yu Zhao, Chu Zikai began to play the role of the backbone, and interjected to block Ling Feng's momentum of wanting to play the justice card to support, and asked rhetorically:

"Ling Feng, at the beginning of the famine in Northern Xinjiang, I didn't see you and Concubine Ling's brothers and sisters giving advice, but now it's not at this time of celebration to hype up the action of thrifty disaster relief, and how much do you two know about the current situation in Northern Xinjiang, let's listen to it immediately."
