Qu listened to Ah Shan's pleading, pondered for a moment, and said, "This palace alone can't help you." ”

Ah Shan listened, he didn't feel cold, but he was frightened first, so he listened to Qu and said, "After all these years in the palace, the Communist Party has only survived with the eldest son of the emperor who is now raised by the queen mother, and even the princess has only given birth to three. ”

Ah Shan heard that Qu was going to tell the Queen Mother about the matter, and she couldn't help but secretly regret that she had listened to Mu Biwei's meaning and came to entrust Princess Xiping to Qu's - if the Queen Mother was suspicious and asked the Imperial Doctor Ren to go for a consultation, then ......

She didn't dare to think about it, after such a hesitation, Qu Shi wanted to see that she had some scruples about the Queen Mother, so she said: "This matter can be said by the palace for Mu Guangyou." ”

"Slave and maid on behalf of Guangyou Niangniang, Xie Zuo Zhaoyi!" Whether Ah Shan was willing to stab the matter to the Queen Mother at this moment, he had to thank Qu Shi first, and then said, "It's just...... The slave maid told the truth, Guangyou Niangniang has always been not very loved by the Queen Mother......"

"Although the Queen Mother doesn't like Mu Guangyou very much, Her Majesty's blood and bones, the Queen Mother naturally attaches great importance to it." Qu said lightly, "How can a mother not look forward to the prosperity and prosperity of her son's heirs?" ”

Ah Shan hurriedly said the promise of Mu Biwei's instructions: "If we get the help of Zuo Zhaoyi, so that our mother can give birth safely in the palace, the mother will definitely take Zuo Zhaoyi as the head of the horse in the future!" She said in a low voice, "Unless Zuo Zhaoyi, if the rest want to trample on the Guilu Palace, our mother will definitely not give up with it!" ”

Qu Shi listened, but laughed: "What does that rear position mean to the palace?" Could it be that this palace is justifiably in charge of these six palaces, and some people will be willing to interfere in the affairs of her palace? She glanced at Ah Shan, "Even Mu Guangyou, is it extremely reluctant?" When Nanqi came to envoy, the princess of Shanfu, who was thousands of miles away, made our concubines in Beiliang hate it all over again - didn't your mother add fuel to the fire in the middle? ”

Ah Shan's face was embarrassed, but then said: "Previously, Guangyou Niangniang was worried about Princess Xiping, and said that there was no one else in the palace to entrust except Zuo Zhaoyi, and she also asked Zuo Zhaoyi to be thoughtful, if there is an order, if you can do it, you will not shirk!" ”

"There's nothing I want you to do in this palace." Qu said calmly, "Princess Xiping Yuxue is cute, and the palace also likes her very much, although the palace now raises Princess Changkang here, but Princess Xiping is not a few years older than Changkang, and the two sisters raise it together, and it doesn't take much effort...... There you go. ”

"Slave and maid on behalf of Guangyou Niangniang, Xie Zuo Zhaoyi!" Ah Shan bowed cautiously, and then respectfully withdrew.

Out of the Hualuo Palace, Ah Shan was not at ease in his heart, so he quietly went to the Chenglian Palace, and after disguise, he avoided people and went to Ganquan Palace.

In the Hall of Le Nian, Concubine Wen was taken aback when she heard that Ah Shan was coming, and asked Xie Yu who came to report in a low voice: "What's going on?" Isn't it just a time sickness? How did you get sick enough to ask her to come over? ”

The news that Mu Biwei fell ill when she arrived at the Yuquan Palace had naturally been transmitted back to the palace a long time ago, and some palace concubines were not less gloating in private, and Concubine Wen also heard about it, but because she knew that there was a rightful Bu Shunhua in the car this time, she also guessed a few points, it may be that Mu Biwei deliberately avoided its edge, and now that she suddenly heard that Ah Shan was coming, she naturally thought that something big must have happened in the palace, so she was worried.

When he saw Ah Shan, he asked, "What's wrong with Wei Niang?" ”

"If you go back to the concubine, the girl is in good health." Ah Shan knew that Concubine Wen really cared about Mu Biwei, so she didn't dare to call her suspenseful, so she hurriedly said, "And, thank you for Concubine Wen's prescription, the girl is pregnant now!" ”

Concubine Wen was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "This is a good thing!" Immediately understood, and said in a deep voice, "Then Wei Niang called sick...... But for the sake of this? ”

Ah Shan nodded, concealing that the child was born by Nie Yuan, and said: "The girl didn't know about this before, so she followed her to the palace as usual, I don't want the girl of the Su family to follow her to the palace that day, and she also wants to stay in Jingcheng Hall, the concubine knows that Jingcheng Hall is where the queens of the past dynasties live, how can she be asked to live?" Among the concubines who accompanied the palace this time, she was the most respectful of the girl, and she was in charge of things, so she was called over, and the girl had to refuse the Su family girl on behalf of His Majesty...... Later, seeing that Bu Shunhua had a good fight with the girl of the Su family, the girl simply thought about calling it sick for a few days, and asked the girl of the Su family to devote her attention to Bu Shunhua...... Got pregnant! ”

Concubine Wen was pleasantly surprised: "How many months? ”

"More than two months." Ah Shan deliberately said that the time was an extra month, and whispered, "After the girl knew, she told the imperial doctor not to go out, first called the illness, and now she has no idea, no, these days the girl feels that since she is already in the palace, it is better to simply give birth in the palace - although it is not as comfortable as living in the palace, but His Majesty will not live there for a long time, and he will return to the palace in early August. ”

Concubine Wen's face became solemn: "What you said is very true, it is not easy for the heirs in this palace to land!" Even if Wei Niang is a vigilant person, and you are loyal, I also take care of one or two, but I can't prevent it! This miscarriage hurts your body more than anything else! ”

"There is another thing, that is, Princess Xiping, the girl plans to stay in the palace to give birth, but Princess Xiping can't stay there, not to mention that the people who serve the girl must be busy when the girl is inconvenient, I am afraid that I will not take care of the princess, and the palace is simple, the princess is young and delicate, and it is better to come back in the end." Ah Shan said, "Today, the slave maid is ordered by the girl to return to the palace to ask Zuo Zhaoyi to take care of Princess Xiping for a while." ”

"Youshu, this child is good, Princess Xiping entrusts her with no need to worry." Concubine Wen groaned, "But you also told her the news of Wei Niang's pregnancy, right?" ”

Ah Shan nodded worriedly.

Concubine Wen asked, "What did she say?" ”

"Zuo Zhaoyi said that since he wants to live in the palace and plans to give birth there, he must tell the Queen Mother."

"She's right." Concubine Wen nodded, "You went to her and came to me again, but you don't worry about Youshu?" This is not necessary, although she does not have the heart to save the dead in this palace, but she also refuses to reach out to harm people, since she has asked for it, she will naturally not use any sneaky means! ”

Ah Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "If the concubine says so, the slave and maid will be relieved." ”

"You go back and guard Wei Niang." Concubine Wen said gently, "Since Youshu wants to tell the Queen Mother to come here, I have to help say a few words, not to mention that I am close to the Queen Mother, I will try my best, but the palace is more simple and the mountain is up, if there is anything wrong, it is better to return to the palace...... In this palace, didn't Xiao He Beauty also give birth? ”

"Back to the concubine, the concubine also knows that the girl has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, her skills are good, and her body is good, if it weren't for the fact that she drank the shunzi soup for nearly half a year when she entered the palace and damaged her body, she wouldn't have had no news for more than two years." Ah Shan said, "Later, the concubine gave that recipe, as the concubine said, it was only a few months after drinking, and now there is news, it is a girl's birth, although it was a little tired when I didn't know it before, according to the imperial doctor, it is extremely stable, even if it is born in the mountains, it will not hurt." ”

Concubine Wen nodded with satisfaction: "If that's the case, that's the best." ”

After Ah Shan left, Concubine Wen found an excuse and took Xie Yu to the Heyi Palace, which now only has a little ice in the Heyi Palace, feeling a slight heat, because she is afraid that the emperor's eldest son will catch a cold.

Empress Dowager Gao wore a gauze dress and personally guarded the cradle, lovingly teasing Ji Hui, who woke up, and when she saw Concubine Wen coming, she asked with a smile: "Aren't you busy today?" ”

——Before Ji Shen went to the summer, he had already made a holy decree, and Su Jiayi, the second daughter of Su Pingyan, the prince of Wuying County, gave her marriage to Gaoyang Wang Ji Zhao, and the marriage was completed at the end of the year, Concubine Wen finally chose a daughter-in-law, and it was her favorite family and appearance, and even her temperament was also related to the King of Gaoyang, and she was happy in her heart. This is really the bride marrying into the door, and the matchmaker throwing it over the wall! ”

"The bride hasn't been married yet!" Concubine Wen said with a smile, "It's just that I've been thinking about what to give to the second mother of the Su family a few days ago, and I'm always picking and choosing, so I don't have the heart to come over - I haven't seen you for a few days, but the eldest son of the emperor has grown a lot?" ”

"Hui Lang is very well-behaved, rarely cries, eats a lot, and grows fast." Empress Dowager Gao said with a smile, "Now I feel a lot better when I look at him every day." ”

"People say that the beauty is delicious, and the eldest son of the emperor is still in swaddling clothes, so the queen mother has a great appetite, so it can be seen that when she grows up in the future, she doesn't know what Junxiu will become?" Concubine Wen said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Gao said: "It's nothing if he is handsome or not, the mourning family only hopes that he will grow up safely." Saying that, he sighed, "The heirs under San Lang's knees are still a little thinner!" ”

Concubine Wen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is still young, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother who has many emperors and grandsons will be overwhelmed!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao said: "If that's the case, the mourning family will really wake up laughing from a dream." ”

The two said a few words of gossip, seeing that the emperor's eldest son was about to sleep again, the Empress Dowager Gao called the Song family to come over and send Ji Hui to the side hall specially vacated for him, the two went to the palace to sit, and the Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but ask about the preparations for the wedding of King Gaoyang, Concubine Wen said: "The second mother of the Su family is excellent sex. Son, it is even more rare to have talents and virtues, Gaoyang Wangfu previously set aside a place for the princess to plan, the Ministry of Industry made a look several times, drew a picture and looked at her, the Su family and the second mother did not like it, and finally simply rolled up her sleeves and drew a picture to the Ministry of Industry, and even the craftsmen who had accumulated years praised her for her quick thinking, unheard of! Let's say a witty thing in private - now Ah Shiro likes her so much, and I secretly reprimanded her several times before I didn't go to the palace to pester His Majesty so that he could get married early! ”

Empress Dowager Gao laughed when she heard this: "The two of them have a good relationship, this is the best, at our age, don't we just want to have a good relationship with our children and grandchildren?" ”

Concubine Wen said: "It's not much worse at the end of the year, but he can't wait...... How can you not speak of him? ”

At this time, someone from the palace came up to tell him, saying that Zuo Zhaoyi was asking to see him outside the palace.

Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Wen both laughed: "She hasn't been here for a few days, please come in." ”

After a while, I saw Qu Shi bring Ling Xianren and Spring and Autumn in, and Qu Shi of the Yidian is very familiar, although he came to meet the Queen Mother, but he only wore ordinary dresses and saluted, and the Queen Mother Gao asked her to sit not far in front of her, and said with a smile: "You can get off now?" ”

This is to say that the Qu family raised Princess Changkang, and the Qu family smiled slightly: "Changkang is very well-behaved, he doesn't cry much, and he mostly falls asleep, so I can come over." ”

"These words are the same as the Empress Dowager Fang Cai saying that the eldest son of the emperor." Concubine Wen said to the Empress Dowager Gao, "It's really the Empress Dowager who grew up, and even the words used are the same." ”

Everyone laughed for a moment.

After laughing, Empress Dowager Gao asked Qu again: "But is there something?" ”

"Exactly." Qu Shi said first, "In the past few days, I have also been a little negligent because of watching Changkang, and this morning, I reminded that Anfu Palace had only called the imperial doctor not long ago. ”

Empress Dowager Gao was stunned, and Concubine Wen said curiously: "Who is sick?" ”

"The Imperial Physician was summoned to the Hall of Prayer." Qu said calmly, "Originally, I was going to send someone to the imperial doctor to ask about the situation, and then I came to tell my mother, but I didn't want to, I just got another news!" ”

"Huh?"

Qu said quietly: "Mu Guangyou, who is now in the palace, is pregnant!" ”

"Really?" Empress Dowager Gao was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't know whether she was surprised or delighted and asked.

"It was the nurse who Mu Guangyou brought into the palace to report quietly, and I guess it couldn't be a lie." Qu said, "Although I don't know if it's a man or a woman now, I have to congratulate the queen mother first!" ”

Although the Empress Dowager Gao doesn't like Mu Biwei, but as Qu said to Ah Shan, she attaches great importance to her grandchildren, even if she has the eldest son of the emperor now, she still feels that Ji Shen's heirs are thin, and she can't wait for the princes to come one after another, not to mention that although Mu Biwei doesn't like her, but compared with the Sun family, she is now cute, and she clapped her hands and ordered: "Then quickly arrange someone to take her back!" ”

complained to Mu Biwei again, "Since you are pregnant, why did you run away to the palace again?" It's a bump back and forth, but don't get an accident! ”

Concubine Wen was about to speak, and Qu said first: "Queen Mother, there is more than this happy event. ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao looked at her expectantly, Qu said indifferently: "I just got the news of Mu Guangyou, and I remembered You Zhaoyi's side again, and called the imperial doctor who went to check Right Zhaoyi's pulse to Hualuo Hall to ask, but You Zhaoyi has been pregnant for more than five months...... And, according to the doctor, eight times out of ten. Nine is a prince! ”

Empress Dowager Gao's face was complicated: "Is it really the prince?" ”

"The Imperial Doctor is very sure." Qu said calmly.

She can be very calm, but Empress Dowager Gao's mood is very complicated, she was silent for a moment, and said: "The mourning family knows, you can take the Mu family back first, so that you can settle her." ”

"Queen Mother, Mu Guangyou is still sick." Qu said, "She sent the nurse to tell me this first, that is, to beg me to plead with the queen mother—she wanted to ask the queen mother to let her stay in the palace until the full moon of childbirth before returning to the palace!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao was furious when she heard this: "What are these words? The dignified concubine was actually given birth in the palace! What is the rationale for this? ”

"Mu Guangyou's original words are that she is in good shape, and she is expected to have no major problems in the mountains, just for both men and women, to be able to land safely and smoothly." Qu said calmly, and Concubine Wen also frowned, and said, "This is ...... In the end, ...... in the palace in the past two years"

Empress Dowager Gao frowned, and said for a while: "The conditions of the palace are simple, and besides, there are already three princesses and Huilang in this palace, all of whom have landed safely, why can't she be?" ”

Concubine Wen coughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid I think there are too many people in the palace." ”

There are many people in the palace, and these four words are all tasted in it, Qu said: "Queen Mother, in my opinion, I might as well agree to her." ”

"It's not in order!" Empress Dowager Gao said in a deep voice, "It's spread out, and who in this palace can't tolerate her!" ”

"Mu Guangyou has been in the palace for three years now, and she is also an old man in the palace, there will be a lot of newcomers, she is easy to get pregnant, and she will not joke about it." Qu Shi said first, "It is because she gave birth in the palace, she must have confidence in her body, the reason why she dare not return to the palace, I tell you the truth, Xu is the matter of the palace in the past two years, which makes her suspicious!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao was very unhappy when she heard this: "Why is she extra delicate?" Besides, those people in the palace who have not been born in the past few years, are they all man-made disasters? It's not that the blessings are not enough! ”

"I mean, what You Zhaoyi said earlier, saying that the concubines who came out early in the palace always had bad births, either miscarriages or difficult births." Qu Shi said, "If you listen to these words normally and laugh at them, when they really come to your head, you can't help but be confused." ”

"Why do you listen to that Sun's nonsense?" Empress Dowager Gao scolded lightly, "She said that, just to hide the fact that the beauty and the little wife were pregnant, and she didn't want to be questioned for the sake of this, if this palace is really not suitable for childbirth, not to mention, where did the princes and grandsons from Gaozu come from?" ”

Qu Shi smiled faintly: "I also don't think these words are credible, but Mu Guangyou believes it now, I'm afraid to force her to come back, but to be suspicious of this and that, it's not good, but it's not good for the imperial heir." ”

Concubine Wen smiled and said: "Youshu is virtuous in the end, the Mu clan has competed with you for Princess Xiping before, and I don't want to think about you for her now." ”

was reminded by her, and the Empress Dowager Gao asked: "If she lives in the palace, what will Xiping do?" Are you there? ”

"Take it to Hualuo Hall and raise it with Changkang." Qu Shi smiled, "Speaking of which, Xiping also came to live with me for a few days in the past, and it just so happened that their sisters were companions. ”

Empress Dowager Gao pondered for a moment and said, "You go back to see Changkang first, and then think about it." ”

Qu didn't get entangled, got up and saluted, and then retreated.
