Since the addition of a prince to the palace, the atmosphere of the harem has become completely different.

Because it is the beginning of spring, it is a suitable day to go out and walk around, and even the concubines with big bellies often go to greet Queen Zhou.

When the concubines gather in Kunning Palace, they will inevitably hear the cry of the eldest prince, or the nurse will walk around with the eldest prince who has woken up.

As far as the eye can see, there are many more things used by children, such as small wooden spoons and small wooden bowls used by children, which are painted with cute patterns.

There are also rocking chairs and other things for children, which add a touch of interest to the solemn Kunning Palace.

Queen Zhou didn't care if the concubines were not there, as long as the eldest prince woke up, she asked the nurse to bring the child over, and she held it herself.

came and went, and all the concubines noticed something unusual.

"The queen mother is also too distressed about the eldest prince, the children in the palace have been taught by the nurse since childhood, and the queen mother is golden and noble, but she always holds the child with her own hands."

Qian Chang was asking questions, and Queen Zhou patted the eldest prince in her hand and said with a smile: "The child is still young, and no matter how good the nurse is, she is not as good as her own mother." The emperor specially instructed Chen'er to stay in Kunning Palace and be personally raised by the palace until he was old enough to go to study in Dongsi School. ”

If you want to officially go to Dongsi to study, you have to wait for six or seven years old, so the eldest prince will be educated in Kunning Palace for six or seven years before leaving?

The concubine was envious when she heard this, "It's still a blessing for the queen mother and the eldest prince, and the concubine's child will be born in the future...... I don't know how the emperor will decide. ”

The level of the concubines is too low, and they may not be able to raise their children by themselves, and even if they do, they may be taken to the East Fourth Institute by the nurses early to be isolated.

Just like those little princes who stayed in Dongsi Institute in the past, they rarely met their own mothers.

Seeing her envious, Queen Zhou smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, if the child is born as a princess, this palace will let her stay by your side and raise her." If it is a prince, at least you will be raised by your own hands until you are four or five years old, after all, the prince will govern the government in the future, and if the emperor has any ideas, it is not easy for the palace to interfere. ”

He Concubine just said by chance, but she didn't expect Queen Zhou to give her such a promise, she was overjoyed, and quickly stood up, "What the queen said is true?" If so, the concubine has thanked the mother in advance! ”

Even if a prince can only be raised by himself until he is four or five years old, it is much better than others.

Concubine Li frowned slightly when she heard this, "Will Concubine He be happy too early, the queen mother just said casually, are you still serious?" It must be known that the prince's affairs are state affairs, and they are only talented by the emperor's sacred heart, and it is possible if it is a princess. ”

The joy that had just been ignited by the concubine was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water, "You are not the queen mother, how do you know?" Queen Mother, is Concubine Li's words true? ”

Empress Zhou pursed her lips and smiled, giving Concubine He a reassuring look, "Don't worry, this palace can't do the master's thing, and it won't promise you easily." ”

She glanced at Concubine Li lightly, and the smile on the corner of her lips did not change, "The emperor has long said that the affairs of the harem are handled by the palace with full authority, even if it is the reward and punishment of concubines and concubines at the top of the throne." The affairs of the little prince and the little princess, the palace can naturally call the shots. ”

"That's great!"

and the concubine rejoiced.

Concubine Li read the words concubine and above, and her heart felt like a frost fell.

In other words, even if she is still Concubine Li Xian, Queen Zhou can hold the power of life and death for her, not to mention that she is only Concubine Li now.

She had palpitations, and immediately didn't dare to say anything, "The emperor really believes in the queen's mother, so the power has been handed over to the queen's mother, it seems that in the future, our concubines will only rely on the queen's mother." ”

"Yes, yes, the queen mother is deeply trusted by the emperor, no wonder, who can have such a virtuous lady as our queen mother?"

The two Chang Zai also complimented Concubine Li's words, if they also hoped to be favored by the emperor in the past, they could live better in the harem, but now that they have been in the palace for a year, they can be considered to understand-

The emperor is devoted to the political affairs of the previous dynasty, and the queen of the harem is a fair and kind person, as long as they serve the queen well as concubines, they don't have to worry about life.

In this way, these concubines with mediocre qualifications will not have to be snubbed, and there will not be so many intrigues in the harem.

Since everything has been said about this, Queen Zhou took advantage of the situation and said: "Your sisters live in the palace, in fact, it is no different from ordinary marrying other people's wives. As long as you keep to yourself and serve the emperor wholeheartedly, life will still be peaceful. I don't believe you look at the concubines in the Imperial Garden, why aren't you happy? ”

Everyone had been to the Imperial Garden, and they were deeply impressed by Queen Zhou's words.

Queen Zhou said: "Everyone has been together for a year, you also know what kind of character this palace is, as long as everyone is harmonious and beautiful, it is not better than anything?" Seeing that there are many more cries to the harem, and there may be many more newcomers, everyone must relax and live their lives. ”

"Yes, thank you for teaching the Queen."

All the concubines and concubines saluted, and Queen Zhou walked out of the palace with the eldest prince in her arms, "The peony in Kunning Palace is blooming just right, go, this palace will take you to take a look, and help the concubine." ”

"Yes."

The palace maids supported the concubines, and everyone walked towards the outside of the hall, and Queen Zhou hugged the eldest prince and talked to him, "Chen'er, have you seen it?" Does this peony look good? When you are older, the queen mother will pick this peony for you to play. ”

The eldest prince was still an infant baby, but as if he could understand what Queen Zhou was saying, he giggled when he heard this, and there seemed to be shiny saliva at the corner of his mouth.

Everyone laughed.

He Concubine hurriedly said: "The eldest prince is really smart, he seems to understand everything at a young age, it must be because the queen mother read a lot when she was pregnant!" ”

He Concubine thought in her heart, if she starts studying now, I don't know if it's too late?

Just thinking about it, as soon as she looked up, she saw Concubine Li glancing at her with a look of disdain.

And concubine: "......"

When she saw Concubine Li's eyes, she knew that the other party was despising herself in her heart, and she couldn't wait to go up and beat Concubine Li.

In front of Queen Zhou, she had to endure it.

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "Where, I study just to cultivate my temperament, but Chen'er is indeed more spiritual than ordinary children, probably because she inherited the emperor's intelligence." ”

Concubine Li heard another compliment from Concubine He and others.

She was lazy to listen to the concubines' naked sycophants, so she set her eyes on the eldest prince, pretending to be looking at the eldest prince, and when she saw it, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The goose yellow Du Dou worn by the eldest prince looks so familiar, and she came to Kunning Palace last month to ask for peace, as if she saw Dan'er embroidering this in her hand.
