The emperor suddenly went to the Empress Dowager's palace, which naturally attracted the attention of the public, and some forces in the palace naturally knew that this matter was not as simple as a son visiting his mother-in-law.

The queen checked the accounts reported by the Internal Affairs Office, and her brows were furrowed, the rewards of this Changle Palace may not be too much, but it is far more than the share that a concubine should have.

When Mama Sun reported this to the queen, the corners of the queen's mouth curved slightly, and she raised her head and asked, "Has the person in the imperial dining room handled it?" ”

Grandma Sun said with a calm face: "Niangniang, just rest assured, I will solve him that night." ”

In this palace, who has no power in this palace, not to mention that the queen is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and each palace has its own nails, but some nails are the most secret.

Lin Ziyu just relied on the power of the Queen Mother in the palace, so he wanted to take advantage of the accident of this banquet to get rid of the fetus in Gu Qingwan's womb, and the queen just pushed the boat down the river to add this Ye Xiuyi. If it weren't for her deliberate arrangement, how could this Gu Qingwan sit with this Ye Xiuyi.

The queen is still very relieved of her plan, but it's a pity that these two people gave birth to evil sons safely, but it's okay, these three princes will live in the shadow of this princess in the future, because there is only one princess in the eyes of the emperor.

The queen's eyes flickered, and then she asked, "Has the gift from Ye Xiuyi's side been delivered?" ”

Grandma Sun lowered her head, "The gift has already been delivered, I think there will be news in a few days." ”

Gu Qingwan is now guarding against the people who are waiting around the city, and the lessons of the eldest princess are still vivid. It was because she specially begged two nurses, that is, the daily food and clothes she wore had to be checked by Shui Bi.

Because Gu Qingwan is sitting in confinement, the only thing she can do every day is to tease this baby. Just like Hongxi, she sees this child every day, but she still looks the same.

After just a few days of hard work, Allure has become white and fat, and there is no more Zou Baba when he was born. At this time, she had just been fed by the nurse, and Gu Qingwan looked at her with a red and bright mouth, so she stretched out her hand and poked it.

Shui Bi next to him palpitated for a while, and hurriedly said: "The master can't poke the princess indiscriminately, the princess's skin is so delicate, it's not good to poke it." ”

After a while, Yurong packed up her things and came in, and when she saw the master and servant staring at the princess stupidly, she burst out laughing.

"The master only has a princess in his eyes now," Yurong teased Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan held the baby indifferently and shook her slowly, while the girl was sleeping in her mother's arms.

Since giving birth to a child, she feels that this day has passed really fast, and it feels like it has passed from her birth to her full moon in a blink of an eye, Gu Qingwan is afraid that when she doesn't care, this girl is going to get married.

Shao Ye has also come to see Allure every once in a month, but Ye Xiuyi rarely goes there. Gu Qingwan didn't have the generosity to push him to others, after all, her family hadn't enjoyed enough of her father's love.

And when Shao Ye is holding Allure now, the girl actually showed him the first smile in her life. Originally, Gu Qingwan thought that the child would have an expression and get it two or three months later, but that day Shao Ye was proud of Gu Qingwan, and just smiled at him, Gu Qingwan still despised him in his heart for his delusions.

As a result, when she really saw Allure smiling at Shao Ye, she immediately scolded this unfilial girl in her heart. Her mother worries about her safety day and night, and she never has a blank expression when she looks at herself.

In the evening, Gu Qingwan learned from the sixth son that the third prince was actually sick.

"Is it serious?" Gu Qingwan asked with a frown.

The sixth son replied: "I heard that the queen mother is preparing to cancel the full moon wine of the third prince with the emperor." ”

Gu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect it to be so serious. Thinking of this, she thought of Allure again, that is, she wanted Shui Bi to immediately hug Allure to her side.

When Shao Ye came, he saw Gu Qingwan sitting on the bed, and the baby wrapped in the big red swaddling clothes. When Shao Ye walked to her side, Gu Qingwan came back to her senses.

As soon as Shao Ye saw it, he immediately reached out to take the child, and said with some displeasure: "How can you be a concubine, holding the child in a daze, what if the princess falls on me?" ”

At this time, the girl who originally had her eyes closed opened her eyes, and the child's eyes have always been clear and bright, and when such a pair of pure eyes looked at Shao Ye, the original troubled mood was not so boring.

"Why did the emperor come here?" Gu Qingwan looked at the dark sky outside, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Didn't the imperial doctors all gather at Ye Xiuyi's place tonight, and he should be there too?

Shao Ye looked at such a white, tender and lovely princess, and then thought of the fat but weak body of the third prince, and he was even more unhappy in his heart. Although he got two princes in succession, whether it was the second prince born to Concubine Shu or the third prince born by Ye Xiuyi, they were not healthy, and they had to ask for a doctor every three or five times.

Looking at Gu Qingwan's eldest princess again, it is really a stark contrast, and it is naturally clear who he likes in this situation.

Tomorrow is the full moon ceremony of the eldest princess, but the emperor only handed over the will of canonizing Gu Concubine to the queen today. When the queen just scooped up this will, she hoped in her heart that the emperor would not give Gu Qingwan too high a position.

But as she sat at her desk, her lips began to tremble when she looked at the will, and she remained silent for a long time. The red sleeves who were waiting next to her looked at her like this, and he was also scared, so he only called her softly.

And when Grandma Sun came in, she heard the queen muttering: "The emperor treats her like this, I'm really stupid, I didn't see it." ”

"What's wrong with the mother?" Grandma Sun asked worriedly.

The queen got up, stuffed the will in her hand into Mama Sun's hand, and said tremblingly: "The emperor actually canonized her as this subposition." ”

If you don't know what to do, although this wise saying has been circulated for a long time, there are always people who feel that they can become the fish that slips through the net.

The full moon ceremony is the beginning of life, and Shao Ye loves Allure so much, so he naturally wants to do it in a big way. And this day is also the first day of Gu Qingwan's confinement, the ancients observed this confinement thing very authentically, basically in this month, she is one with this bed.

A woman can only be regarded as having experienced her whole life if she has experienced childbirth, Gu Qingwan stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, her original beautiful temperament was also dyed with a little charm.

She was not much fatter, and with a month of conditioning, the proportion of her body at this time was better than before she was pregnant.

And today is the full moon wine of the alluring city, and it stands to reason that the full moon wine of the princess only invites some palace concubines and clans, but because of the serious illness of the three princes, the queen wants to hold the full moon wine of the alluring city to be more happy, so as to pray for the blessing of the three princes.

Probably the queen's suggestion was really right for the emperor, and the emperor rested in Fengyi Palace that night.

Today is the day when Gu Qingwan reappears in front of everyone, how dare the people around her dress her up at will, and it is not how grand and how to dress up.

Shui Bi specially chose a rose-red hibiscus color folded branch flower palace dress for her, with a wide embroidered skirt with a long hem behind her, and today Shui Bi specially combed a morning bun for her, and she had a dark red gem hanging from her forehead, which was just right. There is a little emerald inlaid red agate gold step on his head, and with the light movement of the lotus step, there is a tinkling sound. And the crimson teardrop earrings on her earlobes are even more beautiful with the ruby on her forehead.

Gu Qingwan has always been dressed indifferently, but today she is so gorgeous, she looks at the mirror for a long time and thinks it looks good.

And Shui Bi put on a gorgeous makeup for her in order to set off her dress, and when it was finished, Hongxi praised her again and again.

Gu Qingwan remembered that she seemed to be a little unkempt a few days ago, and the too comfortable life of confinement basically removed her vigilance, but today she felt that her fighting spirit seemed to be back.

Work hard and strive for promotion, this is the eight-character mantra for harem survival that Gu Qingwan formulated for herself.

Obviously, having a child is also one of the important indicators to test the results of her work, obviously she has completed this indicator, and it is not far from her to be promoted.

After she was dressed, she got up and looked at the person waiting next to her, and only whispered, "Let's go, the hour is almost up." ”

And the nurse had already taken the princess out, Gu Qingwan looked at this girl who was also dressed up red today, and it was really festive to look at it.

She took two steps forward to check the baby's swaddling clothes, and then asked, "But have you already fed the milk?" ”

The nurse immediately bowed her head and replied respectfully: "I just fed it." ”

Gu Qingwan nodded and walked out with Shui Bi's arm, and Yurong was only allowed to recuperate with peace of mind these days because of Yurong's accident last time.

Even so, there were a lot of people who followed her, and there were six people standing outside her sedan chair alone, not to mention the palace people who accompanied the princess.

And today's banquet was held in the Beichen Palace, which was at the intersection of the East and West Six Palaces, because the Jiaotai Palace touched Gu Qingwan's bad head before, this time the emperor specially instructed the queen to change places.

And this Beichen Hall is also extremely grand, and it is not dishonoring the princess to hold a full moon banquet here.

At this time, the Beichen Hall has been decorated, looking particularly festive, and the main hall is also particularly lively.

When Gu Qingwan came in, almost everyone in the hall turned their eyes to her for the first time, and Gu Qingwan was extremely calm in the face of this searchlight-like gaze.

She slowly walked towards the queen on the first seat, and the long ruby chain hanging from the golden step was gently swaying, and even the earrings on her earlobes were gently swaying slowly, such a noble and gorgeous outfit really amazed the people in the palace.

Gu Qingwan walked in front of the queen, saluted and said respectfully: "The concubine greets the queen." ”

The queen also had a little joyful smile on her face at this time, and said gently: "Sister is exempt, today is the princess's big day, and you don't need to be so formal." ”

Gu Qingwan only smiled but also stood up, although the queen looked indifferent on the surface, she believed that the queen hated herself very much in her heart. But who in this harem has no enmity with whom.

And Gu Qingwan then saluted as if she had already come to talk about Concubine De and Yue Chongyuan, and sat in her own place, and after she sat down, she saw Liang Yuanrong sitting opposite.

This Liang Yuanrong fell for herself, because she was well-intentioned, so the queen only punished her for copying a few scriptures. And Gu Qingwan also knew that Liang Yuanrong must not have participated in the murder of the emperor's heir, otherwise the queen would not be so merciful, after all, Liang Yuanrong's identity is not low compared to the queen.

"The princess is born to the emperor himself, how can she not love her?" Gu Qingwan didn't know what she meant, and went back lightly.

At this time, if she still doesn't understand, she is really stupid, but she is favored or not, as long as you have a child, don't spare the thorn in the flesh. Since they are all targets, it is better to firmly grasp the emperor and use the emperor's grace as a shield to protect from the wind and rain.

"It's just a pity for the third prince, his body is so weak that he can't even hold a full moon banquet, but he was born with the princess in one day," Rong Jieyu continued, she entered the palace before Gu Qingwan, and she was also quite favored, but her stomach was not angry, not a prince or even a princess.

Gu Qingwan's face showed anger when she heard this, this Rong Jieyu consciousness meant that she had robbed the third prince of the blessings, and when the queen saw Gu Qingwan's face change, she immediately reprimanded.

"I see that Sister Rong is already very polite on weekdays, how can she speak so falsely today," the queen immediately made a fair gesture and said: "This palace reads that you are a first offense today, and after the banquet, I will go back and copy the female rules and female rings a hundred times to this palace." ”

Rong Jieyu regretted it a little as soon as she spoke, seeing that the queen didn't intend to embarrass her too much, she was relieved, and hurriedly got up to ask for guilt.

And then the queen said to everyone: "Although the third prince is weak, everyone in the harem is not allowed to discuss the prince's affairs." ”

And everyone immediately said respectfully: "Follow the teachings of the queen's mother." ”

After a while, there was the sound of singing and reporting outside, and the emperor and the queen mother arrived.

When she heard that the Queen Mother was also coming, Gu Qingwan was slightly surprised in her heart, could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to stage a motherly scene with her in front of everyone.

And soon Allure was also hugged by the nurse, and after saluting the emperor and the queen mother, he took Allure to the emperor's dragon seat and half-erected the swaddling clothes.

The people present are all people with status and face in Beijing, and they are naturally aware of the major events that happen in the palace, and the princess and the third prince were born at the same time, but the emperor prefers the princess from Gu Concubine. Everyone was puzzled, but looking at the princess's appearance, it was a little clear for a while.

After the official of the Ministry of Rites read the proclamation, Gu Qingwan stepped forward and hugged the princess under the gaze of everyone.

And the emperor glanced at the two mothers and daughters, with a gentle smile on their faces, and at this time, Gong Ruhai took a step forward to scoop out a yellow brocade box, and after opening the lid of the box, Shao Ye reached out and scooped out the jade pendant in it. The jade pendant is snow-white and crystal all over, and Gu Qingwan was standing beside the emperor because she was holding the child, and when the emperor approached the jade pendant to her, she saw the carved pattern on the jade pendant.

I saw that the jade pendant was engraved with Liuyun Baifu, which was composed of Liuyun and bats. The moire shape is like wish, continuous, which means that it is long-lasting; And "bat" means "all blessings", symbolizing happiness, wishful thinking or happiness stretching endlessly.

Gu Qingwan was glad in her heart that Shao Ye didn't choose any phoenix pattern, otherwise the queen would really have the heart to kill her.

And then Shao Ye said loudly to everyone: "Today is the joy of the eldest princess's full moon, and at this auspicious time, I personally gave the eldest princess the name 'Wei Qi'." ”

For a while, there were some voices below, and everyone was shocked. Everyone knows that this royal child is prone to early death, and it is usually given to him until the first birthday banquet. The second prince born by Concubine Shu has not been given a name until now, but the princess who is several months older than the second prince has been given a name.

This name means that the child has entered the genealogy ranking, and the princess who died before has not been given a name, so even the preface is not in order.

And what made everyone more concerned was the eldest princess and the Qi character that the emperor just said, because the emperor just read this Qi word, so everyone didn't know which word it was. If you know, I'm afraid that those officials will be admonished to the end, because the name of the eldest prince of Concubine Jingde is Shao Youyi.

At this time, the place where the princes and ministers were located was even more discussed, and at this time, everyone saw a figure out of the grain

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of our dynasty, only the queen's concubine can be respected as the eldest princess, the princess neither occupies the heir nor the longest, and she is only a princess born from the third concubine mother, how can she be called the eldest princess, and I hope the emperor will think twice."

Zhang Xing's words were reasonable, Shao Ye looked at the expressions of the crowd, and it seemed that most of them agreed with the right minister. However, Gu Zhongyan still sat in the seat quite calmly, without the slightest intention of getting up and stumbling with the right side.

Seeing the reaction of the people, the emperor sneered in his heart, but his face was quite calm and said: "Since Zhang Qing is like this, why don't you listen to my other will first." ”

The queen sat on the top and looked at her father a little anxiously, after all, her father came out to refute the emperor in order to protect her queen's face, but the queen knew what the emperor's other will was.

Gong Ruhai took a few steps out of the line, stood on the steps and scooped out a holy decree, which was read out in public. The above is nothing more than praising how virtuous and virtuous Gu Qingwan is, but what makes everyone in an uproar is the last sentence, which is now Jin Feng.

Distant?

All the concubines in the harem, including Gu Qingwan herself, felt that they had heard it wrong, but everyone knew that Gong Ruhai could not read it wrong.

Gu Qingwan was a little embarrassed, although she knew that she would be promoted, but Comrade Shao Ye suddenly promoted her, the head of the department, to the position of department director, which was really a bit conspicuous.

I saw Shao Ye looking at Zhang Xingdao condescendingly: "The princess born in Myanmar is the eldest princess, I don't know if the right minister thinks it is suitable?" ”

Although Shao Ye was smiling at this time, his words were also faint, but these courtiers were waiting for this master every day, how could he not know that he was just informing them at this time, and he didn't plan to discuss it with them at all.

Seeing the emperor like this, Zhang Xing also gritted his teeth and insisted: "Your Majesty, although Concubine Gu is a princess, she has merit. But Gu Concubine Niangniang has only been in the palace for more than a year, so she jumped to the concubine and thought it was inappropriate. ”

Originally, it would have been just the title of the eldest princess, but Gu Concubine was promoted from the concubine position of Sanpin to the concubine position, because the ministers who had daughters in the harem in the family came out one after another to meet the right minister.

And Gu Qingwan just looked at the ministers below idly and said another inappropriate, and thought twice, it was really a lotus flower.

At this time, the emperor's faction and Gu Zhongxian's old Zheng Ge came out and said: "Concubine Jin Feng has always been the emperor's family affair, doesn't the right minister feel that he is too lenient?" What's more, Concubine Gu's family background is not bad, I don't know what the right minister's intention is to try his best to obstruct it? ”

Literati have always been stubborn and sharp-tongued, this Zheng Ge Lao is also known for his straightforwardness in the court, this time he pointed out that Zhang Xing was so obstructed for the queen, that is, the queen's face was pulled down at this time.

Zhang Xing sneered and replied: "Could it be that Lord Zheng doesn't know the sentence that his son has no family, and I am thinking about the emperor wholeheartedly, how can I allow you to slander you like this?"

Shao Ye looked at the quarrel below, so he opened his voice and said: "I don't know that the niece of the Queen Mother, the daughter of a first-class official, is so difficult?" “

He squinted and glanced at the ministers, and he exuded a cold aura all over his body, even Gu Qingwan stood aside and knew that the emperor was extremely unhappy now.

"Concubine Gu is the niece of the Empress Dowager Duanzhang, the daughter of Gu Zhongyan, the secretary of the Ministry of First Grade, the minister of the humerus of the court for several generations in the family, and she has been gentle and kind since she entered the palace.

The emperor's words, Zhang Xing couldn't refute it, he naturally knew that this Gu Qingwan's family background was not weak, but because it was not weak, the Gu family was not bad compared to their Zhang family. That's why he has to prevent her from ascending to the throne like this, otherwise the queen's throne will be in danger.

Gu Zhongyan couldn't do it if he didn't stand up this time, so he knelt down and said: "Although the son has no family affairs, this harem matter should still be decided by the emperor, after all, this is the emperor's subordinate." ”

Everyone kneeling there, as soon as the minister heard Gu Zhongyan's words, he secretly said that he was a cunning old fox, although he did not directly agree with the emperor's decision, but he knocked on the side of the emperor and they were too careful.

Gu Zhongyan's words reached Shao Ye's heart, originally in this harem, he could seal whoever he wanted, which was the turn of these people, not to mention that they were just thinking about their own selfishness.

Gu Qingwan was still standing at the top with the child in her arms at this time, she had never worried that Shao Ye would change her mind because of a few words from these ministers, after all, he was not an emperor who could be slaughtered by others. But it's really enjoyable to watch these people fight, and in the end, it's clear that her father's words are really effective.

And even in the end of the debate, it was still the emperor's strong victory, not to mention that there were many people who supported Gu Qingwan, after all, her father who was a good product was not a master of idle meals.
