Gu Qingwan sneered in her heart, since even the child's father didn't care about the child's life or death, why did she care? If she has time to hold on to Concubine Rou, she might as well plan for her own children, she will never allow her own children to become the fish and meat to be slaughtered.

This night's Dayan Palace is destined to have people who can't sleep quietly.

In the Qiyuan Palace, Shao Ye listened to the person sent by the queen to spread the good news, but there was no expression of joy on his face. After Gong Ruhai took the palace people away, Shao Ye scooped up the folds that were placed on the table.

And in the middle of the night, I saw a person wearing a shawl being brought in by Gong Ruhai.

Shao Ye raised his head again at this time, and when he saw the person standing below, the expression on his face changed, and finally asked, "Are you with her?" ”

Hongxi was wearing a stone blue shawl, and there were still a few snowflakes on her shoulders, but the snowflakes quickly melted into clouds of water in this warm temple.

"The master has always been smart, and the slave and maid have already guessed it at the slightest mention."

Shao Ye had a smile on his face, but in the end it turned into a joke, he said, "Then what's wrong with her, does she think I'm ruthless?" ”

Hongxi lowered his head, his eyes flashed and flashed, and finally said: "The master looked a little frightened, but he quickly calmed down. ”

Shao Ye pondered for a long time and said: "She has always been kind-hearted, but how can there be so many kind-hearted people in this harem." ”

Hongxi was shocked when she heard this, and then said: "The slave and maid understand what the emperor means, and the slave and maid will definitely not live up to the emperor's entrustment." ”

There is no room for kind-hearted people in this harem, so let her become less kind-hearted.

And after a night of tossing and turning, everyone in this harem finally waited for the emperor's decree at dawn.

Concubine Rou was promoted to Concubine Congpin, although she was one of the four concubines, she was also the last of the four concubines. However, the queen was grounded for five days because of her ineffective care of the prince.

These two wills are enough to cause the vibration of the harem.

The women of the harem are probably more difficult than any other woman in the house, and the October pregnancy not only has to endure all kinds of intrigues, but also has to face the danger of falling out of favor.

And Concubine Rou, who woke up from childbirth, opened her confused eyes, her thoughts were not clear, but when she turned her head to look at the side, she saw Hongru guarding next to her.

"Niangniang, you're finally awake," Hongru immediately called out in surprise when she saw Concubine Rou's slightly open eyes.

"Where's the kid?" Concubine Rou's body is still weak, and her head is still groggy, but the first thing she thinks about is the child.

Hongru immediately comforted: "Niangniang, you can rest first, the prince is fine." ”

Concubine Rou listened to the word prince, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she then asked, "What about the emperor?" ”

When Hongru heard this, there was a trace of unbearability on her face, and then she said: "Niangniang, please rest assured, the emperor sent someone to announce his will this morning, and he made Niangniang a concubine, and rewarded us with a lot of things to Guan Ju Palace." ”

The expression on Concubine Rou's face also relaxed with Hongru's words, but then she asked, "Didn't the emperor come?" ”

"Maybe it's because the government affairs of the previous dynasty were busy, and the emperor hasn't had time to see the master yet." Although Hongru is like this, she is uneasy in her heart, for fear that her master will be unhappy and scoop herself out.

A trace of despair appeared in Concubine Rou's eyes, and then she immediately struggled and said, "I want to see the prince." ”

If Hong didn't dare to delay more, he immediately asked the nurse to carry the prince over.

Concubine Rou looked at the red and wrinkled child in her arms, her heart was soft and messy, she reached out and stroked the child's soft face, although Zou Baba's was the cutest child in her eyes at this time.

"When the prince was born, he screamed loudly." The nurse said a little flattering on the side, and the joy on her face made Concubine Rou look very happy.

After three years in the palace, even if he has been loved by thousands of people, only when this child is in his arms is he truly at ease. She also has a child of her own.

Concubine Rou also seemed to have strength at this time, she turned her head to Hongru who was standing next to her and said, "The palace rewards all the minions in this palace. ”

Compared with the jubilant atmosphere of Guan Ju Palace, the other palace rooms are obviously a little too quiet. The queen was grounded, and these concubines naturally didn't have to say hello to the queen.

Gu Qingwan stood in front of the bookcase in thick clothes, practicing calligraphy over and over again, but Shui Bi next to her didn't dare to say a word when she was grinding ink.

"Master, why don't you take a break first, you've been practicing for almost an hour?" In the end, Shui Bi's hands were sour, and she dared to dissuade them.

Today, there is just a maid who scooped the wrong purse she usually uses on weekdays, and she was so angry that Shui Bi didn't dare to say anything at that time.

Gu Qingwan looked up at Shui Bi, suppressed the irritability in her eyes, and reluctantly said, "Help me go over and rest." ”

"Master, you are now heavy, and the imperial doctor is not easy to think too deeply, with the emperor's favor for the master, the prince will be born in the future." Shui Bi thought that Gu Qingwan was so unkind because Concubine Rou gave birth to a prince, so she had to comfort her heartily, for fear that she would touch her brow.

Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows and glared at her, and then said loudly in displeasure: "It's just that you have written a few more words, and it's worth it for you to read me like this every day, do you know that you are very annoying like this?" ”

Even Gu Qingwan herself was stunned, but the anger in her heart was not less, but there was a tendency to increase.

Yurong heard the movement inside and immediately came in, and saw Gu Qingwan glaring at Shui Bi angrily, Shui Bi looked like she was about to cry, so she immediately pulled Shui Bi's sleeve and motioned her to come out.

And Shui Bi had to retreat, but Gu Qingwan turned her head and didn't look at Yurong's face.

"If the master has something in his heart, he will come out, I wonder if the slave can share the master's worries?"

Gu Qingwan looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and the group of people in the distance were walking slowly in the snow, she turned her head to look at Yurong and said, "No one can save me, I can only save myself." ”

The queen was grounded for five days because of Concubine Rou's birth, and that night the emperor immediately went to the queen's palace Zheng, which made everyone who originally thought that the queen had lost her heart and couldn't help but regret it, and they also knew at this time that the emperor meant to warn them not to have any disrespect for the queen.

And Concubine Rou's will to be promoted to Concubine Shu has spread throughout the palace, and it has not taken effect before because all the concubines are promoted to the throne to be stamped by the queen's phoenix seal, and the queen is still in the ground, so naturally it cannot take effect.

When others thought that the queen would definitely embarrass Concubine Shu in this matter, the queen decreed that she would canonize Concubine Rou in public when the prince was full moon.

However, Concubine Rou is not suffering, because the queen is in the ground, although the people of the internal affairs office are all ready, but they have to ask the emperor, and in the end they actually got the emperor's words to obey the queen's orders, and the three baptisms of the prince were postponed for five days.

On the day of washing, Concubine Shu was still in confinement, and although she listened to the excitement outside, she didn't see it.

Although Gu Qingwan's body is getting heavier and heavier, she has to attend such a day, otherwise she will let others gossip. Not only did she have to attend, but she also had to laugh and have fun.

The good sister in this palace gave birth to a child, and she gave birth to her husband's child, can she not be happy?

And Gu Qingwan sat there, watching everyone look at each other at the child whose eyebrows and eyes were still not clear, and praised this child for looking really similar to Concubine Shu. I haven't seen a day of praising this child for looking like the emperor, presumably so sparingly, at this time, everyone doesn't want to.

And the emperor still did not appear in person, the ancients have always believed that this delivery room is a symbol of uncleanness, so even if this concubine gives birth, the emperor cannot approach this delivery room according to the rules.

This time, Shao Ye did not give the prince special favor, but only rewarded the prince according to the rules of the four concubines.

"Sister Gu?" The queen sitting at the head of the phoenix looked at Gu Qingwan and called softly, but Gu Qingwan was stunned for a long time before raising her head.

She immediately got up and pleaded guilty: "I hope that Niangniang will forgive the concubine for being rude, but the spirit of the concubine has been worse day by day." ”

The queen said quite understandingly: "This palace understands, you can sit down first." ”

Then the queen looked around again: "Because this harem has not had a prince born for several years, it is the full moon banquet of these two princes, the emperor and the palace feel that it should be done, and I hope that the sisters will cooperate with one or two when the time comes." ”

The concubines below didn't have much else, and only obeyed the queen's orders.

After a while, the congregation skirts discussed the matter of the full moon banquet, and they all looked like they really liked the birth of the prince with great interest, but they didn't know how many tears they had swallowed with blood in their hearts.

"Sister Gu, I heard that the sixth master of the Gu family has been discussing marriage recently, I don't know which lady can get into Gu's husband's eyes?" Concubine Jingde next to her suddenly said to Gu Qingwan.

When Gu Qingwan heard this, she immediately said strangely: "Huh? Is my sixth brother talking about marriage? I hadn't seen my mother in a long time, and I didn't know anything about it. ”

Yue Chongyuan next to her immediately laughed: "Concubine De is well-informed, she doesn't know anything about Sister Gu's own family, but Sister Gu understands it clearly." ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Liang and said, "When did my sister care about these trivial matters?" ”

"The sixth master of the Gu family is a rare young talent in Beijing, but as long as there is a sister in the family, he will naturally care a little more, and the concubine is naturally no exception."

Concubine Jingde didn't beat around the bush, she directly curtained the meaning clearly, but the queen at the top was a little surprised.

As soon as Gu Qingwan heard it, she knew that it was Concubine Jingde who fell in love with Gu Qingyang, first of all, there are a lot of ladies in the capital now, but there are fewer and fewer men who can really let their parents marry their daughters-in-law. And Gu Qingyang's identity and status are there, and now he is quite favored by the emperor, and it is natural for him to become a prosperous person in the future.

It's no wonder that everyone wants to compete for this kind of high-performance stock, but she doesn't know why this Concubine Jingde actually mentioned this matter in front of everyone? Could it be that she wants to put pressure on herself in public to nod her head and agree to this family business?

"This marriage event has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, that is, I can just help each other look at each other, after all, the daughter-in-law will enter the house in the future to serve her in-laws and husband. I have to let my mother choose a suitable one. ”

Gu Qingwan's words were also reasonable, but Concubine Jingde couldn't refute them, but the queen at the top also showed a look of satisfaction, which made Gu Qingwan quite strange, could it be that this queen didn't want the two families to marry?

But it makes sense to think about it, the only people who have the heirs in this palace are Concubine Jingde and Concubine Shu, the eldest prince is four years old and has always been healthy, and Gu Qingwan also has a dragon fetus in her womb at this time. If her two families get married, the queen estimates that she will never be able to sleep again in the future.

The full moon banquet of the prince was held in the Jiaotai Hall in the palace, and the ministers and wives were all ordered to enter the palace.

At this time, there are a lot of red silks hanging around the Jiaotai Palace, and the new hall looks a little more festive, and today's full moon banquet is a little brighter.

Gu Qingwan sat far away but saw the people of the Gu family, not only her mother came, but also her second uncle's wife, Zhou, came to chat. It's just that she was a little surprised that her second aunt actually brought the seventh girl, Gu Shuzhi, with her.

Gu Shuzhi is the eldest daughter of her second aunt, ranking seventh among the sisters in the family, although she has only met a few times, but this girl was very polite to Gu Qingwan at that time.

But think about it, Gu Qingwan, who is also a concubine, not only did she follow the name of the boy in the family, so as to clear her head, and the preface of the girls in the Gu family was in the book. What's more, as soon as she went home, she entered the palace, and such a turn of events was really good in the eyes of others.

Because the queen mother, the emperor and others are in the future, this palace is not so restrained. Even the Liu family also brought Zhou and Gu Shuzhi to greet her.

"Mother, second aunt, please get up," Gu Qingwan glanced at Gu Shuzhi twice, the girl was really dressed up today, looking at this lovely appearance, even Gu Qingwan felt very pleasing to the eye.

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I'll give my sister as a meeting gift," Gu Qingwan pulled out the jade bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Gu Shuzhi.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that she didn't immediately reach out to take it, but her second aunt Zhou was next to her and immediately landed on her arm, and then Gu Shuzhi took the thing under her mother's explicit hint.

"There are a lot of people here, if the mother feels uncomfortable, she has to come out early," Liu Shi looked at the surrounding situation, and looked at Gu Qingwan's big belly with some worry.

And Gu Shuzhi also looked at it at this time, but when she saw Gu Qingwan's bulging belly, there seemed to be unwillingness and jealousy in her eyes.

Eat one's heart out? Gu Qingwan chuckled in her heart.

Gu Qingwan has seen too much in the harem with such eyes, how can she be wrong, the original girl actually had such a thought.

But also, Shao Ye ascended the throne as the emperor at a young age, and years of immersion on the throne added to his dignity and majesty, not to mention that he also had the face of an idol male star. This makes a girl who stays in the boudoir all the year round and can't see other men except her father and brother, how can she resist his charm.

Gu Qingwan was only a little funny in her heart at this time, but she also kept an eye on it. After all, there are enough nieces of the Queen Mother in this palace, and she doesn't plan to let anyone come to share this glory with her.

When the emperor appeared with the Queen Mother, the hall was silent. And the prince was soon carried out, but although it was already a full moon, the skin on the child's face still showed an unhealthy color. And the prince doesn't cry or make trouble, although he looks well-behaved, but he can't help but caries his health problems.

Of course, the vast majority of people look at such a second prince, and their hearts are also relieved. After all, this concubine has always been favored, and when the queen has no children, it is not impossible for these two princes to ascend to the throne of the crown prince.

Although the Queen Mother is not the prince's own grandmother, she is also the name of Danlin's grandmother, so she still hugs the prince with a smile on her face.

However, halfway through the ceremony, the Queen Mother asked the prince to be sent back to the Guan Ju Palace. This full moon banquet is not so much for the prince as it is for the prince's mother.

Originally, the emperor's will to canonize Concubine Rou as a concubine had already been issued, but it was delayed because the queen was grounded.

Today, he was canonized in front of these ministers and the wife, and the concubine was one of the four concubines, that is, she had to accept the ceremony of kneeling down to the woman.

Because the children of the royal family are prone to death, the prince is usually given a name when he is a hundred days or one year old, and Shao Ye did not give the prince a name today, but it made many people in this palace feel relieved.

Gu Qingwan looked at the newly baked concubine smiling so happily, and suddenly laughed at herself in her heart, even the concubine herself didn't care if her son was being used, why should she care?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingwan looked around at the beings in this hall again, and suddenly felt like an epiphany, the world was already boring, and if there was no fighting word, it would be that even the last interesting things would be gone.

Towards the end of this ceremony, suddenly Yurong whispered to Gu Qingwan: "Master, it seems that something is wrong with my seventh sister." ”

Gu Qingwan raised her eyes to look at the other side, and saw that Gu Shuzhi seemed to be in a hurry, Gu Qingwan followed her gaze and looked at the seat on the other side of the Zhang family.

Gu Qingwan asked softly, "Which sister of the Zhang family is good friends with the seventh sister?" ”

Yurong was a little surprised to hear Gu Qingwan ask like this, and then said, "I didn't hear it before, but just now the slave maid looked at the spring peach next to the seventh sister and the ginkgo next to the fifth sister Zhang was talking together." And the two of them looked a little sneaky. ”

Gu Qingwan put down the cup in her hand and immediately said, "You and the sixth son take two of them and keep an eye on the seventh sister for me." ”

Gu Shuzhi behaved like this today, coupled with her thoughts about Shao Ye, it was not difficult for Gu Qingwan to guess what her idea was. It's just that what she hasn't determined now is whether this idea is just her own arbitrary act or with the consent of her mother Zhou, or even the old lady of the Gu family.

At the end of the banquet, the Queen Mother withdrew first, and the Emperor then left.

For a while, the conversation in this banquet was much louder, and those who were familiar with each other and those who were not familiar with each other were together to exchange news. However, Gu Qingwan saw that her mother Liu was being pestered by Concubine Jingde's mother, and the Zhou family next to her was also smiling and funny.

"Why isn't the seventh sister with the second aunt?" Gu Qingwan immediately turned around and asked Shui Bi, but Shui Bi was also at a loss.

Hongxi immediately replied: "The slave maid just saw that the seventh sister went out through the side door. ”

Gu Qingwan sneered, and immediately said, "Then bother your aunt, you can accompany me out to breathe, it's really boring here." ”

Gu Qingwan's words were deliberately a little loud, and Liang Yuanrong on the side looked up at her and said with concern: "It's good for my sister to go out to breathe, even if I stay here, it's a little boring." ”

And she took Hongxi's hand out of this Jiaotai Palace, and she asked sideways, "I don't know if my aunt knows where else to rest around here?" ”

Hongxi glanced at Gu Qingwan, I don't know why she is so persistent today, asking this emperor to find a woman, even the queen can't stop it.

"The emperor is fortunate that I can't control anyone else, but there can only be one daughter of the Gu family in this palace."

Although Gu Qingwan's words were soft, this tone made Hongxi unable to ignore the terrifying.

After hearing this, Hongxi held her arm and said, "This road is still quite slippery, but Niangniang is hearty." ”

After walking for a long time, he arrived at the side hall of the Jiaotai Palace, and Gu Qingwan saw the bright yellow guard of honor from a distance, and was shocked.

She suddenly stopped, looked at Gong Ruhai who was waiting outside the hall not far away, and immediately said, "Let's go back." ”

Just when she wanted to turn her head, she saw someone hurrying over next to her, and Gu Qingwan was surprised when she saw Gu Shuzhi. She thought she was already in that temple.

And Yurong followed behind Gu Shuzhi, although she was respectful, her footsteps did not fall for a moment.

As soon as Gu Shuzhi saw Gu Qingwan standing here, her face changed and changed, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "My sister asks my sister to say goodbye." ”

She was half-squatting there, but Gu Qingwan didn't tell her to get up for a long time. In the end, Gu Shuzhi couldn't help but look up at her, but saw Gu Qingwan's eyes looking at her with a deep coldness.

"Fifth sister," Gu Shuzhi knew that she was scared at this time, and she had to call Gu Qingwan weakly.

Gu Qingwan finally looked away from her, only to see that in addition to following Yurong, she was also followed by the maid of the fifth sister of the Zhang family. It's not your own maid who came out to bring it, but don't spare the maid, and it's really interesting tonight.

"What are you doing out there?" Gu Qingwan asked in a deep voice.

Gu Shuzhi just bit her lip and didn't reply, only listened to Gu Qingwan move lightly to her side, and whispered in her ear: "Did you come out to see the emperor, someone must have given you an idea to seduce the emperor at this full moon banquet." It's just that you're just a praying mantis, but this yellow finch has already had that fish and water with the emperor in this palace. ”

Gu Qingwan turned her head to look at the side hall next to her with a flickering candle flame, Gu Shuzhi's face showed disbelief, but she also saw the imperial guard of honor at the door, but Gong Ruhai, who had always been inseparable from the emperor, stood respectfully outside the palace gate.

At this point, Gu Qingwan really wanted to admire the good means of the fifth sister of the Zhang family, thinking that she knew this Gu Shuzhi's love for the emperor early on, so she used Gu Shuzhi to get the emperor's itinerary. He pretended to meet the emperor here, but let his maid take Gu Shuzhi to wander around in this Jiaotai Palace.
