Chapter 21: Pregnant Again
Mama smiled and said, "It's useless for her to make trouble." If you can't give birth to a son, everything will be over. Now that her appearance is gone, she is confused, and her master doesn't want to deal with her for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that I had a daughter, I wouldn't have visited her once a year. Such a stupid person, still want to fight with you? What a dream! ”
When Concubine Zheng heard this, instead of feeling happy, she became even more uncomfortable.
She touched her belly: "Why do you think I can't give birth?" It's been a few years since I entered the house, and my master and grandfather are on my side on the fifteenth day of the first month, and he also wants a son-in-law. Compared to the other princesses, I am already very lucky, but I still have nothing. What should I do in the long run? "In terms of age, I am about the same as the Li family, and the fourth prince is tired of the Li family, will he like me?
Concubine Zheng knows very well in her heart that her appearance and figure can only be regarded as average, there are too many beauties in the house, and after a long time, what should the four princes do if they are tired of her?
Mama hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, a wife is a wife, and the master is not that kind of person." We've looked for more doctors. The imperial doctor in the palace has also shown you. There is nothing wrong with your body. Pregnancy is unavoidable, and the slave said, "You, your temperament is too serious." Men like to be gentle, otherwise how can they be called gentle township? Next time, it's a little softer. ”
The princess irritated and put the ledger aside. She didn't know Mama's advice. But let her go to the main room of a famous family to please a man like a concubine, she can't do it anyway, not to mention that the concubines of the fourth prince haven't done anything in order to get his favor?
And to whom did he have his heart set for him? I can't do it better than those people.
Mama didn't dare to say more when she saw that the young lady was unhappy, so she turned her head and talked about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
The princess looked at last year's booklet and said, "Last year, I gave a jade carved statue of Guanyin Buddha. The year before last was a jadeite carving, a few years ago, I never married it, it is said that they are some jadeite carvings, or pendants, screens and the like, the gift is not outstanding at all, but it is not lost, alas. I also understand the meaning of the Four Princes. ”
Among the four princes, the attention they can get is the last.
His biological mother was just a low-end girl, and when she died, she was just a Jieyu, which was sealed by the emperor in order to save face for her son. The mother clan withered, and there was no way to support him. The other princes either have a strong background behind them, or their mothers are favored. Otherwise, it is when you are young, and the emperor is the most favored. Only the fourth prince is the most neglected one, and it is difficult for him.
The fourth princess was very unwilling: "Mama, my parents told me fortunes since I was a child, saying that my life is extraordinary, and sooner or later I will soar to the sky, but after two years of marriage, I feel more and more aggrieved, my future is bleak, and I can't see any hope at all." Can I really soar to the sky? In the end, whether it is me or the master, it is the life of kowtowing to people. ”
Mama was so frightened that her face changed, and she quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "My master, you can't talk nonsense about these words." What should I do if someone with a heart hears it? Something big is going to happen! ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's see if there are any ready-made things in the warehouse, whether it's a screen or a ceramic, oh yes, my mother's family sent me a pair of glazed horses before, and it just so happens that the Queen Mother is a horse, so if it's okay, send it over. ”
Mama agreed: "That glass is a specialty of Dongying, made by the best master, and the master got it with great effort from the Nanbanzi." It is also extremely valuable to give it to the Queen Mother, and this thing is low-key. You won't be caught. ”
The fourth princess didn't speak, stood up and walked outside, her heart was full of panic.
Everyone says that she is the fourth princess, noble and decent, but who knows the anxiety in her heart and the countless regrets, why was she not chosen by the queen to give it to the prince at that time?
The concubines in the front yard are here, and the four princesses are not late at all, when the normal time comes, all the concubines and concubines are stunned. Hurry up and say goodbye.
Concubine Zheng sat there and looked around, and the two vacant seats frowned, "Who didn't come over?" An's is grounded, why are there two who are not there? ”
Bai Shi hurriedly got up: "Back to Concubine Zheng, Li is not feeling well, I just asked the girl to come over and say it, saying that I am afraid that the illness will pass the others, so I will not come for the time being." "She doesn't want to care about that. But the Bai family is the oldest, and there is no side concubine in the house, so the Li family can't ignore it, so they can only say it hard.
"Humph! This woman is very considerate of others. If you don't come, forget it, find someone to tell the Li family, it's cold in winter, don't freeze the little county lord, you don't have to come out before the year. ”
Bai agreed, and then continued; "There is also a Zhang family, who suddenly fainted on the way to ask for peace."
Concubine Zheng said with concern: "How is it?" Is it serious? ”
"Well, the house doctor has seen it, and she is more than a month pregnant." Bai said seriously. He didn't dare to raise his head.
After the sentence was finished, the whole room was quiet for a moment, and then everyone put on an ecstatic expression together, and got up to congratulate: "Congratulations to Concubine Zheng!" Congratulations to the Four Princes! ”
Concubine Zheng smiled happily: "It's really a good thing!" This Zhang family is usually inconspicuous and leaky, who knew that there would be such a blessing! Come on, send my reward over, and find two reliable grandmothers, be sure to protect Zhang's baby. There is only one county lord in our house, and there has been no good news for a long time! ”
Everyone praised the virtue of the concubine.
Mama lowered her head behind the concubine, feeling sorry for the concubine. Prevention comes, prevention goes, there are still fish that slip through the net!
This Zhang is just a girl in the front yard! Relying on being able to write a good hand. In the eyes of the fourth prince, I took her out once before, and I actually had it?
This woman usually hides it tightly, and she thinks she is honest, but it seems that it can't be done!
Concubine Zheng was already in a bad mood, but this time she was even more hit, and it didn't take long for them to disperse.
After the person left, Concubine Zheng still sat in her original position motionless, her eyes straight. I don't know what I'm thinking.
Mama said, "Master... Master! ”
Concubine Zhengfei was short of breath, her eyes were red, and her long nails poked into her palms.
Mama was frightened and quickly grabbed her wrist: "Don't be angry, as long as you don't like it, the slave can do it directly!" No one knows, guaranteed. It's just a girl, who cares if she lives or dies! ”
