Chapter 45: The Adoptive Mother (2)
King Zhao nodded in agreement, but Concubine Hui still said coldly: "As long as I know from anyone in the future that you have leaked, I will not spare you." Purple Pavilion"
King Zhao was really frightened, and when he left, he kept saying in his heart that he must not say that he could not leak his mouth, and he must not offend Concubine Hui.
Then he wanted to recognize Concubine Wen as his adoptive mother. He never calmed down and thought about it, why did Concubine Hui help him for no reason, and how did she know about Lord Xu?
He never thought about whether Concubine Wen would really be good to him.
"Erchen...... Erchen listened to Mama Wang. King Zhao lowered his head and began to fiddle with the corners of his clothes. This reason is also Hui Concubine Niangniang helped him think about it, Hui Concubine said, Wang Mama is dead, and when others ask, you will push the matter on her, and there is no proof of death.
Takubahiro's gaze at him gradually became meaningful. This kid has always had no city government, and I am afraid that someone will teach him these words today.
Is it a concubine?
Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't.
He glanced at his son again, waved his hand, and said, "You stand down first." What you ask me for, I will consider. ”
***
King Zhao's incident stirred up the entire harem. In fact, the matter of concubines raising stepsons is very common in all dynasties, but it is a very amazing event in the harem of the Qianwu Dynasty, for no other reason, Tuoba Hong has few sons, and a prince is a piece of fat. For example, in Tuoba Hong's father's generation, it is not distressing to lose one of the eleven sons, and the concubines all want to give birth to themselves, and they are too lazy to fight for others.
Three days later, Tuoba Hong issued an edict, and the emperor's eldest son, King Zhao, was recorded in the name of Wen Concubine. In addition, Wen Concubine has been in the palace for many years, has served meritoriously, and is specially registered as a noble concubine.
The six palaces looked sideways.
Wen Gui Concubine went to Jianzhang Palace to thank the emperor, and then opened the Tai Temple by the Ministry of Rites, and King Zhao knelt in front of Wen Gui Concubine in front of the Tai Temple, and then he could recognize Wen Gui Concubine as his mother.
Because he is an adopted son whose name is named, he has to follow this rule, and the etiquette is cumbersome. The children who have no mother in the palace are looking for their adoptive mothers, and they will not all be "named", and if the emperor takes care of his biological mother, he will only find a place for the children to live. That kind of adoptive mother suffers the most, and she raises her children with hard work, which is not her own. But there are also many names, all of whom are born to mothers from humble backgrounds or committed crimes, and the emperor thinks about the future of the child, finds him a noble adoptive mother, and at the same time erases the existence of his biological mother.
King Zhao's mother was executed for a felony. The emperor registered the name of Concubine Wen, which was to tell the world that King Zhao was the biological son of Concubine Wen, and Concubine Shen had nothing to do with King Zhao.
Everyone sighed at the good fortune of Wen Guifei.
The concubine Wen Gui, who took King Zhao back to Bixiao Hall together, was a little dizzy. From the time she heard rumors in the palace that King Zhao personally went to ask the emperor, to now that the emperor came down with a holy decree and gave the child to her for nothing, she didn't understand why this pie fell on her head.
And because of King Zhao, she was also promoted to a noble concubine. King Zhao is the eldest son of the emperor, and the emperor will naturally elevate her status and let her be the mother of the emperor's eldest son.
Looking at King Zhao who was holding his hand with a happy face, Concubine Wen sighed secretly - I don't know what this kid thinks. She didn't deliberately try to please this kid on weekdays, how could he recognize herself?
To be honest, Concubine Wen really didn't have the heart to fight for King Zhao. It's not that she can't give birth, Tuoba Hong has given her a lot of rain and dew, and she has been carefully conditioning her body recently, just preparing to give birth. King Zhao is seven years old and the son of the Shen family's poisonous woman...... Concubine Wen is not a benevolent woman, she has no love for other people's children.
Having your own children is the right way to go.
But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, she can't throw King Zhao out again. At the moment, she hasn't given birth yet, and having an adopted son is better than nothing, so let's raise it first.
This is the end of King Zhao's affairs. In the past, the noble concubines who competed for favor with Tian Concubine like a New Year's drama have now been pushed to the forefront again.
Concubine Tian once recommended herself to the emperor, and the matter of her intention to raise King Zhao slowly spread in the palace. The sleek Tian Concubine's popularity is much better than that of Wen Guifei, and the concubines are very jealous when they see Wen Gui Concubine's success, and they all begin to make friends with Tian Concubine.
But Concubine Tian no longer dared to mention the matter of King Zhao, and served Tuoba Hong in peace every day.
Lin Yuan in the Scarlet Building listened to the news from the palace, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and as soon as the golden scissors in his hand were cut down, the two kumquat branches fell in response. Several palace maids on the side exclaimed again and again: "Niangniang! That's the fruit-bearing branch, how did you cut it! ”
Lin Yuan looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, he cut it wrong. Then he put down the scissors to the side, and this time, the person behind him shouted again: "Mother! That's the main vein! I'm afraid this pot won't survive......"
"Today, the emperor turned over the sign of Wen Guifei again?" Lin Yuan simply put down the scissors and asked left and right.
"It's been three days in a row." Chu Xue replied softly, and then waved her hand to order the little palace maids on both sides to retreat, and stepped forward and whispered to Lin Yuan: "It seems that things have developed in the second direction." The emperor treated Wen Guifei as before, and did not snub her because of her ambition to compete for the prince. ”
"It's okay, the emperor will never know that I am doing something inside, he will only suspect Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen is not like Concubine Tian, there is no second way to go except to hold and raise, and she doesn't want to accept King Zhao in her heart. Lin Yuan condensed and said: "The reason why the emperor didn't snub her is just because her father is a Qingliu bachelor and has no real power in his hands, even if he raises King Zhao, he can't make any waves." Now although the result is that King Zhao personally asked the emperor, the emperor already has his own choice in his heart. Concubine Wen and Wang Shurong and Zhao Shuyuan are the same kind of people, and they are all suitable. ”
Chu Xue was a little suddenly enlightened, and nodded again and again: "I see." Niangniang is following the emperor's wishes, and the emperor will smoothly agree to King Zhao. ”
"I had no choice but to make this decision." Lin Yuan shook his head: "If there is another way, how can I let Concubine Wen get cheap." Concubine Wen and Concubine Tian have always been incompatible, and now she is the only one who can help me restrain Concubine Tian. Although Concubine Jing can also be used, she is too powerful, and if I help her, I will be raising tigers. ”
"Don't look at the emperor's favor of me more than Tian Concubine, but it's really arguing, Tian Concubine's mother family has its own power in the previous dynasty, if you compete for the concubine position or even the prince in the future, even if the emperor favors me, I can't compete for Tian Concubine."
"That's right." Chu Xue also began to sigh: "And Tian Concubine's scheming is not inferior to Niangniang......"
The days in the harem, on the surface, are still peaceful.
Concubine Wen is already the mother of the eldest son of the emperor who is serious, but unlike the emperor who can grow up in the palace of the mother concubine until she gets married, the prince has to go to the study since he was five years old, and he gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, and he can't get along with his mother much. King Zhao was the emperor who had personally ordered him to move to the five places in Qianxi, and the Bixiao Hall where the concubines lived was too far away from the upper study, so he could not return to the Bixiao Hall every day.
King Zhao just went to ask for peace in front of Wen Guifei on the third or fifth day, and at most they had dinner together.
However, even so, after having an adoptive mother, King Zhao's life seems to have returned to the world from hell. With the favor of the noble concubines, Mo said that the people in the palace did not dare to snub King Zhao anymore, and even the masters of the concubines dared to be disrespectful to King Zhao.
Concubine Wen took over King Zhao, and she also understood the principle of the unity of mother and son, and treated King Zhao very wholeheartedly. King Zhao was practiced by his subordinates before, and he often couldn't eat enough, and the first thing Wen Guifei did was to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for King Zhao to eat and supplement. After that, she did the second thing, which was to ask King Zhao which concubines had bullied him, and then reported it to the queen. Where would the queen show favoritism, after finding out that Wu Jieyu had committed the following crimes against King Zhao, Qian Meiren insulted King Zhao as a "cheap species", and Feng Xuan's attendant pushed King Zhao into the lotus pond, and disposed of the three of them in accordance with the palace rules.
In the end, Wu Jieyu, who was born in a prestigious family, was reduced to a girl, Qian Meiren, the daughter of the Liupintong Judgment, entered the cold palace, and Feng Xuanzhi, who was born as a palace maid, was once a person under the seat of Changhe Guifei, but now she has long fallen out of favor because of the concubine's departure from the palace. She was dragged by the queen to the front yard of Changxin Palace and beaten to death with a stick.
When Feng Xuanzhi was killed by the cane, the concubines were coming out of the Changxin Palace, and Feng Xuanzhi's sharp screams almost pierced the sky. The stick used to kill the cane was a black round wooden cane with thick arms, and the concubines didn't dare to look at Feng Xuanshi's blood-drenched lower body, and they hurriedly fled from Changxin Palace with pale faces.
And Concubine Wen, she took King Zhao's hand and walked at the end of everyone. When he walked to the front yard, King Zhao subconsciously covered his ears and pleaded to Concubine Wen: "It's so noisy, it's so ugly!" Mother, let's hurry up. ”
Wen Guifei grabbed his wrist: "Take your hand down, and look over there." You take a good look at the fate of this woman, the same woman who once caused you to fall into the pond and almost freeze to death. By the way, Your Highness, do you want to go up and beat her with two sticks? ”
King Zhao looked at his mother in surprise: "Mother! This...... It's cruel......"
"No, Your Highness." Concubine Wen shook her head, but there was insistence in her eyes: "Let the Feng family be punished in this place, it was the concubine who asked the queen mother, and the purpose was to let you see it." You see, this is the royal family, you are a child of the royal family, so you must not be soft on your enemies. ”
King Zhao's eyes were still filled with fear. He was still a child, and looking at the blood on Feng Xuanshi's body, he instinctively was afraid.
Concubine Wen sighed, secretly hated in her heart, and she didn't know how the woman of the Shen family raised her children, King Zhao was simply a little sheep...... It is also that the Shen family used to be too powerful, and even with King Zhao is like the stars holding the moon, a person who has not suffered will not grow up.
