Chapter 388: Serial Bureau: Borrowing a knife to kill
"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, so what am I going to do? Yujiu, I'm so scared! “
Jun Yuchen stroked Zichu's love silk and comforted him softly: "What are you afraid of?" I'm here for everything, as I said, no matter what happens, we have to face it together, right? ”
Zichu nodded with tears, and his heart was moved and troubled. The husband and wife were hugging, and suddenly heard someone coming over from the door, and said: "Qi Yu princess, the queen mother sent someone to say, it can be seen that it is much better today, and the emperor also specially gave a banquet, and invited the princess and princess to take the little princess over to drink tea and eat some snacks." ”
Empress Dowager Nalan has been sick for so long, although Zichu often goes to see her with Jun Yuchen, but in fact, she hasn't seen Zichu a few times. At this time, when he heard that his mother-in-law sent someone to invite, Zichu naturally couldn't refuse, and when he saw Jun Yuchen after hearing that his mother was well, he was also happy, and immediately said: "Okay, after going back to my mother, I said that we would come later." ”
Zichu heard that the father-in-law of the Emperor Taishang was also involved, and he knew that his mother-in-law, because of such an illness, had repaired the previous gap between husband and wife. Come to think of it, after all, she is a woman who has been favored by the Emperor Taishang for more than 20 years, if she didn't have true feelings, how could she be supported as Empress Zhang of the Middle Palace, and then spoiled for so long?
Now it seems that all the previous things are just that the emperor had to make such a gesture because of Shangguan's graceful death, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his son Jun Yuxuan.
And at this time, if he learned the news that the Emperor Taishang had reconciled with the Empress Dowager Nalan, Zichu didn't know, what would Jun Yusulfone feel in his heart?
With these thoughts in mind, Zichu came to Yihe Palace hand in hand with Jun Yuchen. Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down, I learned a shocking news.
It turned out that during the Cold War between the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Nalan, a palace maid had been canonized as a concubine. Now, a few months have passed, and the concubine has been diagnosed as pregnant. It's just that the concubine is young and has a very supple personality, and after learning that she was pregnant, she didn't dare to speak out for a while.
Later, the emperor inadvertently remembered it, and when he went to her to see, his stomach was revealed; , which was a big surprise. summoned the imperial doctor to ask, this child is actually four or five months old, which is a little older than the one Zichu was pregnant.
Therefore, after learning the news, even the Emperor Taishang had to pull down his son, on the one hand, he was soft with the Empress Dowager Nalan, and on the other hand, he also hoped that the husband and wife could get back together, after all, after the child was born, I am afraid that he will not be able to watch him grow up in the future. Therefore, the care of the two brothers, Jun Yusulfone and Jun Yuchen, is particularly important.
Hearing the news, Zichu secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately Ning Huan had already fallen asleep when he came out, otherwise, if she let her granddaughter know that her grandfather actually had a baby to be born, I am afraid that this girl may not think what she will think!
Jun Yuchen was also a little embarrassed, but looking at his father, who was sitting next to his mother and looked gentle and very protective of his wife, he quickly chose to accept and understand. After all, it is not uncommon for such things to happen in the royal family. It's just an extra half-sibling, and it doesn't have much impact on him. As long as he can see his parents reconciled, he is very happy.
However, it was the Empress Dowager Nalan, whose face had been a little unnatural since she saw her son and daughter-in-law appear. Zichu thought she was depressed because the concubine was pregnant, but later found out that it was not. Because the Empress Dowager Nalan kept looking at her belly, and finally when everyone was in a good mood, she said: "Zichu, look at your belly, this baby seems to be another girl!" You don't know, when Concubine Hui came to greet me before, I took a closer look at her belly, her belly was pointy, and there was no doubt that she was a boy. ”
When Zichu heard this, he naturally felt depressed for a while. Not again! As a mother-in-law, why can't she save some trouble, what is she going to do? Do you want to stuff a woman in your son's room again?
Seeing that Zichu's face sank instantly, the Empress Dowager Nalan turned to her husband and said, "Didn't the imperial doctor say it before?" Concubine Hui's birth should be a boy. This is a great joy, our royal family, the heirs should be prosperous, so it is a good omen. Emperor Taishang, I think, should be given the throne of Concubine Hui and canonized as a concubine. In the future, this child will be more decent, don't you say? ”
The Emperor Taishang didn't seem to expect his wife to say this, but what the Empress Dowager Nalan said was extremely pleasant to him. Originally, having a child in old age means that he is still energetic and has a long life.
So, after thinking for a while, he also echoed: "Well, what the Queen Mother said is reasonable. When someone came, according to the queen mother's words, she canonized Concubine Hui as Concubine Hui, and rewarded her with some tonic and gold bead jewelry. Let's just say that after the child is born safely, I will reward him again. ”
After such a small episode, Zichu watched coldly from the side, and gradually understood. This time, I am a mother-in-law and has grown up. She no longer rushes to stuff women for her son, but beats herself in this way of teaching and doing, and lets herself rush to stuff women for her husband. Why? It's also very simple! Because her belly looks like she is pregnant with another daughter, as a virtuous woman, if she knows that she is pregnant with a daughter, but she does not give her husband a concubine, it is not virtuous and unfilial! It is to be condemned and despised!
Zichu looked at the snacks and tea on the table a little speechlessly, and she even thought vaguely in her heart, perhaps, the existence of the Empress Dowager Nalan proves that her husband is also a mortal! Otherwise, the man who is too playful may not be able to match himself!
Seeing that Zichu was just in a daze when he heard this, and did not say anything, the Empress Dowager Nalan was naturally dissatisfied. If she just didn't like this daughter-in-law before, and then she was a little jealous of her son's deep love for her, now, the jealousy in her heart has really turned into jealousy!
She just doesn't understand, why is she Song Zichu so good as a woman? What a handsome and gentle man is his son? Not only is he noble, but he is also talented and has a temperament that is difficult to find in the world. has a soft spot for her, no matter what she does, he loves her unconditionally. Even for her, he turned against his mother, who gave birth to him!
And what about yourself? is also a noble birth, and her appearance and temperament are by no means comparable to idle women, but now, at this age, her granddaughters are one or two years old, but her husband is still holding her new love, and she has a child out. As a wife, she not only has to put on a virtuous and generous appearance, but also takes the initiative to propose a promotion to the woman and a long face, doing all this against her will, just hoping that her husband can reconcile with her from now on, and stop pursuing the past!
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Nalan's heart was like a fire, this fire made her restless, and her heart, liver and lungs were full of evil fire. Especially when she saw her son's attentive and careful care for Song Zichu, it was even more unbearable for her.
After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager Nalan had an idea. At this time, Concubine Hui, who had received the decree of canonization, came to thank her, and the Empress Dowager Nalan smiled and said, "You are a person who is pregnant with a dragon descendant, how can you still perform these false courtesies?" Hurry up and sit here, no need to be polite. ”
Concubine Hui was born as a palace maid before, and her family situation was naturally ordinary. At this time, I suddenly got such a canonization will, and I don't know whether it is happy or sad. But there is one thing she is clear, that is, for this queen mother, the emperor has never forgotten his feelings.
Because even when she was favored, she had overheard the Emperor Taishang calling her name in her sleep. The Queen Mother's name is Liancheng, and the Emperor Taishang called this name. Because of this, she felt a heartfelt awe of the Queen Mother in her heart. It is clearer that if there is any dispute between himself and the Empress Dowager Nalan, even if she is pregnant, I am afraid that the Emperor Taishang may not be able to protect herself.
So, since this concubine Hui came in, she has been very respectful and humble. She didn't forget her identity, although the Empress Dowager Nalan motioned for her to sit on the left side of the Emperor, she still respectfully separated the two positions, and got up from time to time to add tea and water to the few people in the banquet.
Empress Dowager Nalan looked at Concubine Hui's movements, and gradually gained insight into her thoughts. Seeing this, Song Zichu was giving her son a look, signaling Jun Yuchen to get up early and say goodbye, and she was angry again.
"By the way, Concubine Hui, look at your belly, it is a ten-class male fetal image. Don't know what you like to eat? What do you have in your spare time? ”
After the Empress Dowager Nalan asked, she looked at Zichu on the side as if unintentionally, and explained with a smile: "You also know, Princess Ding is also pregnant now, according to the calculation, she is about the same month as you, maybe a little younger than yours." But I see that her belly is much smaller than yours, and the most important thing for our royal family is the prosperity of the heirs, so I would like to ask you to talk about your experience, so that Princess Ding can also learn how to raise the child in her womb to be healthy. ”
When the Empress Dowager Nalan said this, Concubine Hui hurriedly got up, blushed, and said a little crampedly: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's appreciation, it's just that the concubines don't have much experience, but they eat a little more on weekdays, and they often take a walk after dinner, and they are in a good mood, and they think about the children in everything, that's all." ”
"Well, looking at your ruddy face, it's obvious that you're usually well-raised. It's just a pity that Bengong has been sick before, and he didn't send anyone to take care of you. Speaking of raising a fetus, Bengong suddenly remembered that in the past, when Bengong was pregnant with Chen'er, he liked to eat a dish called jade magnolia flowers. Emperor Tai, do you remember this? ”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Nalan and Concubine Hui's wife and concubine were talking very happily, the Empress Dowager Nalan was also very good at taking care of her face tonight, and when she heard this, the Empress Dowager naturally nodded her head immediately, and said to Jun Yuchen: "Well, I naturally remember." Chen'er, your mother was very hard when she was pregnant with you, and in the future, you must honor her well, you know? ”
