Chapter 48: Victory and Defeat
It is never a trivial matter for a concubine to be pregnant, and Yan Ning is even more pregnant, because it is a matter of the queen, her pregnancy is not only shocking in the harem, but also uneasy in the previous dynasty.
In Chaohua Palace, Yan Ning leaned on the big pillow, her eyes were red from crying, and she was happy.
She has been married to the emperor for a long time, and she spoils the harem alone, Mei Meiren was only fortunate to be pregnant once, but she didn't, before it can be said that she was given a child avoidance medicine by the queen mother, but then she cautiously avoided it and did not get pregnant, Yan Ning began to worry.
Fortunately, Huang Tian lived up to her high expectations, and she finally became pregnant.
The emperor was happy, and the good things were sent to her as if she didn't want money, Yan Ning wondered if the emperor had entered the treasury, and when he saw something, he asked Xiaofu Gong to send it to her, and it was all piled up in the palace.
Yun Chu was also happy for Yan Ning, but he was also worried that the Queen Mother was in the back position, if she didn't want Yan Ning to give birth to the prince before Concubine Zaobao, she would not have given Yan Ning a child-avoiding drug, how many pregnant concubines in the palace had an unknown miscarriage in the end.
How careful they were before will be doubly careful in the future.
The Queen Mother didn't like Yan Ning anymore, but Yan Ning was pregnant, and the Queen Mother would also say that she sent someone to send a lot of supplements, and Yun Chu told Chunlan to be sure to collect it, not to be confused with what the emperor sent.
Not only that, but you have to be extra careful with the meals delivered by the imperial dining room in the future.
Yun Chu said these again, and Mrs. Beihou of Ji Bei entered the palace and told her again, Yan Ning said, "Uncle and Yun Chu said the same." ”
Mrs. Jibei Hou looked at Yun Chu and said with a smile, "If it weren't for Yun Chu accompanying you in the palace, my aunt and your uncle wouldn't know how worried." ”
Yan Ning also knew that it was not suitable for her to stay in the palace, and she was able to get pregnant thanks to Yun Chu's meticulous observation, otherwise she might not have found out that the Queen Mother had drugged her until now.
Mrs. Jibei Hou was not at ease, and said, "Ming'er, I sent someone to find two pregnant female cats to send them, but let the cats eat all imported things, and be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years." ”
Yan Ning nodded.
She won't be bored now, and she won't be tired all day long making small clothes for the fetus in her womb.
Yan Ning was pregnant and couldn't sleep, the queen mother wanted the emperor to favor the concubine, and the draft was mostly for the royal family.
At the same time, he encouraged the ministers of the former dynasty to overturn the previous decision that whoever was the prince would be the queen, Concubine Yun and Concubine Bao married into the palace one day, and the emperor favored Concubine Yun alone and snubbed Concubine Bao, which was too unfair to Concubine Bao, even if Mr. Concubine Yun was the prince, he could not just make her the queen.
The queen mother also put pressure on the emperor, if the emperor made up his mind to only favor Concubine Yun alone, he would let Concubine Bao out of the palace to marry, and the daughter of Duke Chongguo was just that, and it was the emperor's will to let her enter the palace, not to enter the palace to waste time.
The emperor really can't bear the pressure, Yan Ning is pregnant and can't sleep is the queen mother's biggest reliance, so he can't let the emperor guard a concubine for a year, right?
All the officials agreed with the emperor's draft and expanded the harem, and Yan Ning knew that this time she and the emperor couldn't hide.
The emperor carried it for half a month, and after the queen mother put pressure again, she lit some aphrodisiac incense in the pavilion where the emperor often went to sit down, and the emperor stayed for a while, and the situation was not right, and he wanted to go to Chaohua Palace.
Xiaofu's father-in-law is also a fine person, at a glance, he knows that the emperor is emotional, Concubine Yun is pregnant and is protecting the fetus, and the imperial doctor has repeatedly told him not to have sex in the first three months, this is going to go, but I am afraid that the fetus will not be protected.
Xiaofu's father-in-law insisted on pulling the emperor to Xinyang Palace, no way, he couldn't just find a palace maid to send the emperor away, moreover, this can also sell the queen mother a favor, the emperor favored the concubine once, and the queen mother had no chance to talk about the late round house, let alone send the concubine out of the palace to marry.
Afterwards, the emperor punished Xiaofu Gonggong for kneeling under the sun for three hours, or Yun Chu sent him some water, Xiaofu Gong almost didn't dare to cry, "The slave is sorry Concubine Yun......." ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Yesterday I stopped the emperor, and Concubine Yun asked me to thank you on her behalf." ”
The emperor was given an aphrodisiac, the emperor went up to question the queen mother, the queen mother admitted it, and also reprimanded the emperor.
Even if Concubine Yun can give birth again, how many children will she have in her life?!
If it weren't for the fact that she could give an explanation to her ancestors and ancestors, would she, as the queen mother, be able to give the emperor an aphrodisiac? !
What the Queen Mother wants is just for the emperor to spread the branches for the royal family, as for going to the concubine, that is the emperor's own choice, and it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother admitted so calmly, that is, the emperor did not go to Chaohua Palace, and there was no irreparable mistake caused by aphrodisiac incense, if Concubine Yun had a miscarriage because of this, the Queen Mother would not admit it, let alone rush the emperor to spread the branches for the royal family, it is best not to give birth for the rest of his life, so that the King of Qi does not have to fight or fight, and this throne will be his.
The queen mother's behavior disgusted the emperor, and the emperor made up his mind that he would no longer favor Concubine Bao in his life, but some people have such good luck, but once around, Concubine Bao became pregnant, and calculated the time, and Yan Ning was separated by two months.
Concubine Bao is pregnant, the Queen Mother's urgency eased a little, now it depends on whether Concubine Yun and Concubine Bao are pregnant with a man or a woman, the possibility of both being princes is too small.
When she learned that Concubine Bao was pregnant, it was the expiration of Shangguan Ji's March period for Shen Junshan, and the Queen Mother was happy and wanted to watch Shen Junshan compete with Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Ji in person.
Not only the Queen Mother, but also many ministers, especially military generals, the Queen Mother is afraid that Shangguan Ji will release water to Shen Junshan.
It is impossible for Shangguan Tong to beat Shangguan Ji, the Queen Mother knows in her heart, poisoning has been used once, especially after failure, it must not be used a second time, the Queen Mother only needs to stare at Shangguan Ji and not release water to Shen Junshan.
The Queen Mother asked Shangguan Ji to compete with Shen Junshan first, so that Shangguan Tong would take advantage.
Shen Junshan didn't shirk it, he couldn't help but compete with Shangguan Ji, and only by making a draw with him in a dignified manner, the Queen Mother had nothing to say.
Seeing Shen Junshan's readiness in agreeing, the Queen Mother reacted, she shouldn't have done this, in case Shen Junshan could really have a draw with Shangguan Ji, she would have no reason to find fault.
Shen Junshan and Shangguan Ji fought, and the generals who watched it were enthusiastic, and the Marquis of Jibei couldn't believe it.
The son went out early and returned late for three months, and their father and son had never met a few times, and his son had made such a big progress?
can pass fifty moves under Shangguan Ji, and the Marquis of Ji Bei is already satisfied.
Watching them come and go on the test bench, Ji Beihou dared to believe what Chongguo Gong said, his son has greater potential than his father......
After a quarter of an hour of fighting, there was no winner or loser, you punched me, I kicked you.
Finally thigh to thigh, your fist is close to my nose, my fist is almost to the tip of your nose.
Chongguo Gong stepped forward and said, "Stop! ”
Only then did the two stop.
The Queen Mother said coldly, "The winner hasn't been decided yet, why don't you fight?" ”
Chongguo Gong replied, "There is no need to fight anymore." ”
The emperor clapped his hands and said, "This competition is really exciting." ”
The Queen Mother looked at her confidant general, and the general shook his head.
There is really no need to fight anymore, the prince of Chongguo has no mercy, and the second young master of the Hou Mansion in northern Hebei does not.
The two are evenly matched.
The Queen Mother let Shangguan Tong play, and didn't give Shangguan Ji a chance to breathe.
Shangguan Ji didn't fight for it either.
But that's it, Shangguan Tong didn't get through twenty moves from Shangguan Ji's hand.
As many people as you take advantage, you lose as many people as you lose.
The emperor congratulated Shangguan Ji, "It seems that the Flying Tiger Army has one more fierce general, and it is still a fierce general who does not lose to you, a great general." ”
Shangguan Ji was also very happy.
Shen Junshan said modestly, "Brother Shangguan's best skill is not martial arts, but bows and arrows. ”
"If I compare the bow and arrow, I will be defeated."
Compared with bows and arrows, there is no one in the entire Great Qi who can win over Shangguan Ji.
It is precisely because Shangguan Ji is talented in archery that Shangguan Tong has never touched bows and arrows since he was a child, and he doesn't want to be a foil for his eldest brother.
Shen Junshan is even more so, he is a gentleman, he is good at playing dice, and he is ...... bow and arrow I haven't touched it a few times.
Otherwise, if it is compared to the bow and arrow, Shangguan Tong is not as good as Shangguan Ji, and it is still easy to win against Shen Junshan.
At this point, Shen Junshan officially joined the Flying Tiger Army.
The queen mother couldn't see him too proud, and forced her to marry him.
Xing poured cold water on his head, Shen Junshan had the heart to kill the Queen Mother, he had nothing to do all day long, looking for things everywhere, and if he didn't add some blockage to her, he was not Shen Junshan.
After Shen Junshan left the palace, he asked the queen mother who her henchmen were, and if she couldn't kill the queen mother, it was not difficult to chop off a few of her fingers.
One targeted the Queen Mother's henchmen outside the palace, and the Queen Mother was angry, so she took Yun Chu under the knife.
Yun Chu was careful to take precautions, but in the end, it was inevitable that he would be hit, and Yan Ning, who was forced by the Queen Mother, had to ask the emperor for help to intercede.
The emperor didn't hesitate and sent Yun Chu to see the library pavilion.
This time, Daqi will be a disaster.
Drought in the east and floods in the west.
Nanliang took the opportunity to make trouble, and the border passed down a few months after the war broke out again.
Shangguan Ji was ordered to go on the expedition, and Shen Junshan followed left and right.
Yan Ning was pregnant, Yun Chu was punished, and she couldn't leave the palace to see her off.
And this farewell, Yan Ning never saw Shen Junshan again.
