Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Beginning of Love

Chu Shumo sat by the window, covered with a thin blanket, which seemed out of place on this summer day.

The red lotus slowly fanned the fan, and the breeze was afraid of choking the queen who was holding the scroll and reading it seriously.

The imperial doctor checked the pulse every day and adjusted the content of the fetal pills at any time, and repeatedly told them to be cautious when using ice, even if they fanned the fan, it can be seen that the queen's physical condition is really not optimistic, and ordinary women are not so fragile when they are pregnant.

Chu Shumo felt sleepy after reading five pages of the book, rubbed his eyes and yawned uncontrollably.

"If you are tired, just rest."

Honglian stepped forward and wanted to take the scroll from Chu Shumo's hand, but was refused.

"Is there still no news from the palace?"

Chu Shumo held the scroll, and looked over with a little watery eyes because of yawning, and Honglian subconsciously lowered her head, not letting the queen see the look on her face, because she would not lie.

"Today, the emperor feasted the ministers in the Liuyun Pavilion, in order to celebrate the happiness of the mother, it can be seen that the emperor is happy."

Honglian said what she could say about the news she heard, and she didn't dare to look up at the face of the queen prince, and only after a long time did she hear a soft sigh.

"I still don't come back, so I can see that I really complain about it. Also, how can he do what makes his sweetheart sad......"

"Mother's ......"

Honglian couldn't help but look up, only to see the lonely side face of the queen prince, these days only in the first few days the queen's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, but she couldn't wait for the news of the emperor's return to Beijing, and the queen was beaten into the cruel reality.

An original wife who risked her life to give birth to a man is far less than a noble concubine, and this contrast makes the queen sad and at the same time has a strange sense of masochism.

I have long known Jiang Ronghua's status in Jiakangdi's mind, but he has repeatedly wanted to fight with him, but now he has completely cut off his thoughts and not to say anything, but also to think about how to face those two people.

Xianhui has understood how to advance and retreat for so many years, and now because this child has completely torn his face, he can't go back to the old days.

Listening to the sound of cicadas outside the window, Chu Shumo's thoughts drifted back to a long time ago, long enough to be when his body was not so bad.

The generation of the Chu family doesn't know what's wrong, the heirs are not difficult, but they are all sons, and there is no half of the girl.

After giving birth to four or five sons one after another, the first girl of the Chu family's generation was finally born, but unfortunately God is not merciful, this girl was born weak, and she almost couldn't be saved several times.

At that time, the family of the Chu family strongly supported Emperor Jingcheng, who was still the king of Yan, and Emperor Changzong did not have many heirs, but he looked down on King Yan very much, and the father and son sometimes had different political views.

Emperor Changzong advocated moral government, and King Yan loved to march and fight, conquering the Quartet, and whenever there was chaos on the border, he must be the backbone of the main battle faction.

Although Emperor Changzong didn't like this son very much, but in the end there were not many sons, and there were even fewer outstanding sons, although there were disputes from time to time, but for this son, Emperor Changzong was still tolerant, at least the courtiers made friends with him, and Emperor Changzong never said anything.

The Chu family had a close relationship with King Yan, and Emperor Changzong also turned a blind eye, and the only concubine of the Chu family asked for medical advice and medicine to King Yan's mansion, and King Yan also entered the palace to ask Emperor Changzong to send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat.

After several times, the child was finally saved, and he was carefully raised until he was sixteen years old.

With the help of the princess Qiao's family, King Yan finally defeated his brother and ascended the throne as Emperor Jingcheng through the courtier forces gathered by the Chu family.

Qiao's sister-in-law was naturally named the crown prince, that is, today's Jiakangdi, who was initially crowned as the prince at that time, was not married, and for a time the position of the crown princess became the target of the princes and ministers.

As a family that supported Emperor Jingcheng's accession to the throne, the Chu family has won the extraordinary trust of Emperor Jingcheng, and Chu Shumo, the only daughter of the Chu family, is faintly expected to become the best candidate for the crown princess, but Chu Shumo's physical health problems have become the most powerful point of criticism by others.

The crown princess is the queen of the future mother's world, how can a woman who is not in good health become the crown princess?

Chu Shumo was not interested in this princess, but one day after entering the palace to greet Qiao's family, the queen at that time, he bumped into the prince who danced the sword in the plum garden, and that heart fell......

In order to prove herself, Chu Shumo insisted on going to the women's school to study, instead of asking the family to invite someone to the house to teach, she went to the women's school every day rain or shine, and also made friends with several young ladies from low-level officials.

Chu Shumo did not use her real identity to go to women's school, but only waited for the right time to show herself in front of everyone and inform the world that the daughter of the Chu family was in good health, and she was by no means as weak as rumored.

However, before the day his identity was revealed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an accident.

The prince sneaked out of the palace to ride and shoot in Xishan, lost his traces, and was found for nine days, and was still with a woman when he was found, and this woman was Jiang Ronghua, one of Chu Shumo's close friends at that time.

Jiang Ronghua's father has no talent, he is only barely a six-grade petty official, and the family's expenses are far from enough to rely on that little money, so Jiang Ronghua's brothers and sisters often think of supplementing it.

Jiang Ronghua's elder brother often goes into the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, occasionally makes a trap to catch some game and sells it to some small restaurants, and when he is lucky, he can catch five or six pheasants and hares or something, Jiang Ronghua occasionally goes to help dig wild vegetables together, and sometimes he takes leave to go to the women's class, just to watch the weather is good and help his brother go into the mountains to dig vegetables and catch game.

The disappearance of the prince is a big deal, but Xishan is also some distance from the capital, and by the time the guards found out that the situation was wrong and rushed back to the palace to report, it had already been a night.

Jiang Ronghua and his brother were separated in the mountains, bumped into the prince who was also lost, and were found together for several days, which could not be hidden.

But it is impossible for the daughter of a six-rank petty official to be the crown princess.

In the end, Chu Shumo got his wish and became the crown princess, Jiang Ronghua was just a small concubine, even if the prince ascended the throne and became Emperor Jiakang, he did not become a master all of a sudden, but he also got a concubine, and the title was also given the word "yuan".

This title also caused a heated discussion at the time, but they didn't pay much attention to Jiakangdi's attitude, and everyone didn't think much about this woman who had shared hardships with Jiakangdi.

Only Chu Shumo knew that Emperor Jiakang had always loved this woman who had been with him for a few days, and his position as the crown princess was Emperor Jiakangdi.

At that time, although he was heartbroken and his loved ones were full of eyes pretending to be his best friends, after all, he was the position of his wife, and the only position qualified to be buried with him a hundred years later, Chu Shumo was still moved.

It's just to do his best to protect some of Jiang Ronghua's concubines, for Chu Shumo, it is not a difficult thing, Chu Shumo thought that there would always be a chance to get a little bit of that person's heart after marriage, but he didn't expect the reality to be so cruel......
