Concubine An had a miscarriage, the queen was pregnant, and a royal doctor was escorted to the execution ground for questioning and beheading, and all kinds of rumors spread in the capital for a while.

Many people believe that the queen is pregnant, so they want to get rid of Concubine An's child to ensure that the heir of the imperial family is not threatened.

Such rumors also spread to the palace, but in order not to affect the queen's peace of mind, the emperor did not let the rumors flow into the middle palace, and those who dared to chew their tongues were directly killed.

Because of the testimony of that day, the chess concubine was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, and asked the palace people to go to the torture every day to extract confessions, and the torture was not human, but the chess concubine insisted that she was not lying, and insisted that the queen framed her.

No one cares whether the words of the chess concubine are true or not, everyone knows it, no matter what the truth is, the queen who is pregnant again is already the biggest winner.

Nowadays, there are few heirs, and the queen is a descendant in the womb, and the emperor's attention to this unborn bloodline makes everyone feel surprised, even when Concubine An is pregnant, although the emperor is overjoyed, and all kinds of protection, but compared with the protection of the queen, it is not worth mentioning at all.

I don't know if it was to reassure the empress, or to let others put an end to the idea of competing for the crown, the emperor actually announced that Zhou Feng was the crown prince, and the identity of his son and grandson was also worthy of the name.

"Mother, are you serious?" stayed with the queen in the middle palace for a few days, Zhou Jin has always tried to make the queen laugh, but hearing the queen say let her go to the dry city surprised her.

You must know that the queen did not approve of Zhou Jin marrying Song Yang more than the emperor, and even put her under house arrest regardless of Zhou Jin's physical condition.

"What did the queen mother deceive you?" glared at Zhou Jin angrily, and the queen smiled: "Since your father has acquiesced to this family business, it's better for you to go and watch it, lest the woman over there in the dry city want to climb into bed shamelessly, and then it will be Zhaoyang of the palace who will be sad." ”

"Queen Mother!" Zhou Jin was a little shy, but more moved and reluctant, "But the queen mother's current condition is not good, and it will be the end of the year soon, how can Zhaoyang leave at this time?" It's better to wait for the queen mother to give birth, and then Zhaoyang will go to the dry city. ”

"You want to be beautiful, the queen mother said that she agreed to let you go to the dry city, when did she say that you would get up immediately?" Pointing at the tip of Zhou Jin's nose, the queen shook her head and said: "Sure enough, it's a big woman, and she wants to fly to her sweetheart, and only at this time will she thank the queen mother, right?" ”

"Who said that? In Zhaoyang's heart, the queen mother is the most important person and the best mother in the world, and she will always rank first in Zhaoyang's heart. Zhou Jin said coquettishly.

"Your mother is the most important person in your heart, the first, what about your father?" After the early court, the emperor came to visit the empress.

Under Shen Yi's careful conditioning, the queen's situation has improved a lot, and the emperor is happy to see Shen Yi when he can sit and talk these days, and he will reward Shen Yi with some good things at every turn.

If it weren't for Shen Yi's unwillingness to be an official, the emperor really wanted to leave Shen Yi in the imperial hospital as an errand, and it happened that there was a shortage of people in the palace, especially a skilled imperial doctor like Shen Yi.

"Father, don't fight with the queen mother, the queen mother is now a double body, as long as the queen mother is happy, the little brother will be happy, won't the father be happy?" After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he pretended to sigh and said: "I hope that the queen mother can give birth to a royal brother, although the people say that the old man is the most favored, but Zhaoyang is at least the only princess!" If the queen mother gives birth to a royal sister, then Zhaoyang's status in the heart of the queen mother will become so low, or even lower, I feel so pitiful when I think about it, Zhaoyang doesn't want to be so miserable. ”

Watching Zhou Jin play tricks, the queen chuckled, and the emperor also laughed when he saw this, not as if he was a little restrained when he first entered the door, for fear of upsetting the queen, and he couldn't pull down his worth to coax people.

The main thing is that in front of his children, how can the emperor not maintain some majesty?

However, after knowing that the queen was pregnant, the queen always had the little tail of Zhou Jin by her side, and the emperor couldn't ignore it if he wanted to.

"You girl, you will play poor, your father and mother have loved you for more than ten years, even if your mother gives birth to a princess, then you haven't had time to cultivate feelings, how can you compare to your weight?" The emperor sat on the edge of the queen's bed, pointed at Zhou Jin and said to the queen: "Look, our pearl in the palm of our hand has careful thoughts, even our younger brothers and sisters have to compete for favor, and when I go to my mother-in-law's house in the future, if I compete for favor with my concubine, can my mother-in-law treat her?" ”

"Didn't the emperor already choose his mother-in-law's family for Zhaoyang? The Song family is not a family with a lot of things, General Song's wife, as well as the county lord of Anran, who recruited a lot of money, and Zhaoyang are good sisters, they are together, I am afraid that Mrs. Song will get along too well with the juniors, and feel that she has no chance to put on a stand as a mother-in-law. The queen smiled lightly, and there was always some imperceptible alienation in the face of the emperor.

The emperor noticed that the empress was different from before, but he also understood that he had hurt his wife, so he was not displeased.

"That's the blessing of their Song family, to be able to marry such a good daughter-in-law as Zhaoyang, not only has a good personality, but also allows the lintel of the Song family to be labeled with the logo of the emperor, which is how many people can't ask for it, when the dynasty is such a princess, which minister is not looking forward to his own family can have this good luck!" The emperor made a tiger face and said to Zhou Jin: "Zhaoyang, although my father intends to marry you to Song Yang, you must remember that you are a princess, if the Song family dares to bully you, you will directly scold me back, and you don't have to show mercy." Our royal princess should be pampered, even when she arrives at her husband's house. ”

"Father!" Zhou Jin blushed and stomped his feet, then covered his face and ran out.

The emperor said secretly: Sure enough, his daughter is still intimate, and after several days, he finally saw that he, the father and emperor, wanted to talk to her mother alone.

The queen smiled lightly, looking at Zhou Jin's back, her eyes were full of doting.

"I know that I have made you suffer a lot of grievances before, and it is also my suspicion that previous emperors would have. In the past 20 days, I have been thinking about the past 20 years, when you married me, you were the size of Zhaoyang, I don't know how many grievances you have suffered by my side, how many hardships you have experienced, and how many times you have gone through life and death to be able to stay by my side and raise such a pair of outstanding children for me. Holding the Empress's hand, the Emperor asked in a low voice, "I am awake now, is the Empress willing to give me another chance?" ”

"The emperor doesn't have to say this, since the day the concubine married the emperor, she told herself that her husband and wife had the same fate, everything the concubine paid was willing, as long as the emperor still remembered the concubine's goodness, the concubine would be satisfied." The queen smiled lightly, and couldn't tell whether she was really relieved, or she was careful to do her duty and replied, "The concubine has nothing else to ask for now, but to ask the emperor to be healthy, the children to be safe and obedient, and the child in the concubine's womb to grow up healthily." ”

Holding the emperor's hand on her lower abdomen, the queen hung her head slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Although she couldn't feel the fetal movement for three months, the queen's actions made the emperor's eyes more warm.

In the past, when the queen was pregnant, every time the emperor came to her side, the queen would do this, and then tell the child in the womb how much the father was looking forward to his arrival, so that the child must remember the voice of the father, and when he grows up, he must be filial to his father and share his worries for his father......

Those scenes, the emperor occasionally recalled, after all, in his most difficult period, only with the empress, he could find a trace of warmth, and could he experience emotions other than the brotherhood that King Rui gave him.

"Queen, when you give birth to this child, I will retire to the emperor and hand over the country to Feng'er. After Zhaoyang gets married, I will take you and your children to travel through the mountains and rivers, don't you want to experience the charm of Jiangnan the most? How about I take you to the days of smoke and rain, let you live in the painting every day, and turn your life into poetry? The emperor suddenly had a feeling in his heart, so he blurted out.

The queen raised her head in surprise, and saw that the emperor did not regret it after speaking, let alone a temptation, but she didn't know how to answer.

"The queen doesn't believe me?" Holding the Empress's hand tightly, the Emperor asked.

"The concubines are looking forward to such a day, but the emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he leave the country for the sake of the concubines?" The queen frowned, "How can the concubine explain to the queen mother?" How to explain to the ancestors of the past generations? ”

"The person who should be confessed is me, and the queen, as my wife, should teach her husband and children, and respect her husband." After listening to the empress's words, the emperor only felt a lot happier.

At the beginning, he would leave that corner of his heart to the queen, because of the queen's general knowledge, and later because the queen always retained sincerity to him.

If you change to other concubines, she will never answer like the queen, but she will be happy and forgetful, wanting to monopolize the favor, or show loyalty, but also show that she has no heart for Zhou Feng.

"What the emperor decides, how can the concubines ever refuse?" The queen chuckled and said: "As long as the emperor remembers to inform the concubines, don't say that it is the picturesque beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, it is the desert land, and the concubines will accompany the emperor without hesitation." It's just that I don't know which sister the emperor wants to take besides the concubines and mothers and sons? How should those who don't bring them are placed? The emperor still thought about the aftermath, and then came to talk to the concubines, and the concubines would definitely be convinced at that time. Now that the concubine is pregnant, she doesn't want to work anymore, and she doesn't want to be disappointed. ”

"Okay, when I arrange everything, I'll leave with your mother and son." The Emperor nodded solemnly.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the queen said: "The concubine wants to explain something to the emperor, and I hope the emperor can grant permission." ”

"But it doesn't hurt for the queen to say." The Emperor waved his hand.

"The concubine wants Zhaoyang to go north to the dry city after the year to pursue her own happiness." The queen said and sighed lightly: "This time the concubine walked around the life and death pass, and almost lost the child in her womb, and she understands that there are too many accidents in people's lives, and there is never room for regret, and the concubine does not want Zhaoyang to lose happiness in the future, and be depressed and unhappy all her life." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and said: "It's okay, if Zhaoyang marries Song Yang in the future, she can't always be pampered in the palace, let her experience the people's livelihood, and she will have a better understanding of the people's husband and wife relationship mode in the future." The royal princess orphan is proud and noble, but after all, it is necessary to capture the heart of a man to have happiness at all. ”

Hearing this, the queen covered her mouth and smiled: "The concubine still thinks that the emperor really wants Zhaoyang to have the princess's score all her life, and she is thinking about whether Zhaoyang will teach her some ways to be a son when she marries in the future, but she doesn't want the emperor to have other plans in his heart." ”

"Hmph, although I don't agree that women are too strong, but my daughter just can't be bullied, otherwise I don't mind changing Zhaoyang to a colt!" The Emperor's beard immediately cocked, and there were things he could say, but he couldn't hear anyone say that.

The relationship between the emperor and the queen eased on this day, whether it was a real estrangement or a superficial harmony, at least it showed that on some things, the husband and wife's position was the same.

Especially with the two brother and sister Zhou Feng and Zhou Jin, the relationship between the emperor and the queen can never be frozen.
