Chapter 4, Section 25 The Queen's Worries

The next day, the two new Duanyi asked me to go with me to greet the queen.

When they arrived at the queen, Hu Guifei and Zhuge Liangren were already there, and looking at the eyes of the two Duanyi, they were obviously ambiguous.

Do they still plan to fail in three sessions?

However, I have already thought of a countermeasure.

Just as Concubine Hu and Mrs. Zhuge were whispering to their respective nieces, Xiaocui came to me in a hurry and said, "Your Royal Highness, it's not good, little princess ......."

I stood up on the ground, "What's wrong with the little princess?" ”

"The little princess suddenly had a high fever and has already gone to the doctor."

In this case, what else can the queen be entangled with except to say, "Then you should go back and have a look"?

I'm sorry, child, my mother has no choice but to use your health as a pretext. But my mother did this so that you and your sister could live happily ever after.

These quacks in the Tai Hospital are incapable of curing diseases, and they will only see money one by one. However, this is where this comes in.

gave Imperial Doctor Hu a sum of money to the doctor and let him spread the word that the little princess was not in good health. Anyway, I have a high fever today, diarrhea tomorrow, and I was frightened the day after tomorrow, so I didn't stop it. I also have a sad face when I see people every day. went to the queen to say goodbye, but after sitting for a while, he said that he wanted to come back to see the child.

I'm so pitiful, so anxious, and the queen is embarrassed to force me again. I was embarrassed to mention it.

Because of the little princess's "illness", when the two newly sealed Duanyi came, I also hurriedly sent them back, lest they sit still and don't leave, and they want to wait for Tai to come back.

It dragged on for several months, and finally it was delayed until the day Yang Shufei gave birth.

After a night of tossing. At dawn the next day, news finally came that Concubine Yang Shu gave birth to a chubby child!

At this moment, the entire harem was boiling.

On the day of production, the computer station is updated the fastest. After the queen went to see Concubine Yang Shu, she came directly to the East Palace. As soon as I entered the door, he asked me, "What do you say?" ”

I was confused when I asked, "Erchen didn't understand what the queen mother meant, what should I do?" ”

She said angrily, "You still pretend to be with me!" Concubine Shu gave birth to a son. As for you, you still only have two daughters. I deliberately canonized the two duanyi, but you were too domineering, so that they still have no real name. You say, what the hell are you going to do? Are you going to make my heart abolish and you will be happy? ”

Since she has said everything to this point, and she doesn't intercede with me at all, I also said with a straight face, "Erchen doesn't understand, why does the queen mother look down on her son so much?" always feels that he has no ability to keep his position, and he has to rely on others, or even his own land, in order to gain a firm foothold? ”

The queen was speechless, she didn't expect me to dare to question her like this.

Before she could start fighting back, I simply finished speaking. Anyway, it looks like that. She won't let me go today, so she has to force me to take a stand.

I continued, "Actually, I just don't like to read those poems, and I don't like the hypocrisy of officialdom. I'm a person I've lived with for several years. I dare say that Tai is actually a very sensitive and meticulous person. He's smart. He is keen, and others do not see him. People who don't understand say he's stupid. But why does the queen mother look at him like this? The queen mother is not stupid at all, in my eyes, he is the cutest and most clever man! I will assist him to ascend to the throne of the emperor, and his throne will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

The queen finally came to her senses, looked at me with disdain, and said, "You promise?" What can you guarantee? You can't even give birth! ”

Seeing that I was not ashamed and still looked at her with burning eyes, she said more and more aggressively, "Now that Concubine Yang Shu has given birth, the emperor will definitely make her the queen in the future." Her child will be a concubine in the future, you say, how can you guarantee it? ”

If that's the case, then what does it matter if I have children or not? I gave birth to a child, and her child is still a concubine. She's still so young, even younger than me, and she's got plenty of time to have a few more. And in the decades to come, lay a solid foundation for her to lead to the throne. Even now, isn't the mother's mother's family a famous Sanyang? Among the three Yangs, except for the queen mother's father, Lord Sikong, the rest of the two, I am afraid that they will be the children of the concubine. Because, in this way, I can completely hollow out my father's power and let your Yang family be in charge alone. ”

"You ......" The queen pointed at me angrily, and was speechless for a long time.

I hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother, we're talking about too much." As for their struggle for power in the court, that's their men's business, and we women can't control it. We can only exert ourselves in this inner palace. ”

Looking at the queen again, perhaps because of her anxiety and annoyance, her face had turned pale, and she stood there shaky, as if she might faint at any moment.

I felt sad when I saw it. In fact, she was sick like this, and she still supported her sick body to run, just for her own son. I poured her a cup of tea with my own hands and begged her to drink two sips, I helped her lie down on the Xiangfei couch, knelt down on the couch and said, "Erchen should die, seeing that the queen mother is sick like this, he dares to talk back to the queen mother." The son hereby asks the queen mother for guilt, and asks the queen mother to forgive the son for not being guilty. I bowed my head.

The queen owed a debt and said, "Forget it, you should also get up and speak." It's just us and my son here, so it's good if everyone has anything to say. I stood up, moved a stool, sat down in front of her, and said, "Actually, there should be no conflict between the son and the queen mother." Because our purpose is the same, we are all for the sake of too. We love and miss you for the same man. We do not have a fundamental conflict of interests, what we do have is only a difference in the cognition and application of strategies, methods and means to maintain the position of Tai. ”

Seeing that the queen nodded in agreement, I said, "For example, the queen mother thinks that whether the queen mother can keep the throne does not depend on the queen herself, but on whether the queen has a smart and healthy heir, and whether the queen can get the future queen." Did the queen mother ever think that such a perception itself was a disservice to Tai, just like he was a waste? ”

The queen's face was a little embarrassed, and her mouth moved, as if she wanted to justify, but she didn't say anything after all.

Also, the queen mother thinks that whether the position of Taizhi can be kept, the key lies in whether Zhang Liangren can give birth to a child and then get Hu Guifei. But has the queen mother ever thought that now that Concubine Yang Shu is born, maybe the emperor will not make Concubine Hu Guifei the queen at all, but will make Concubine Shu the queen? ”

The queen nodded, "I've thought about that too. I just went to Concubine Shu, and when I saw the emperor smiling from ear to ear, my heart was cold. I'm also afraid that the emperor will eventually look at this child and make Concubine Shu the queen. In this way, it is really difficult to keep the position of Taizhi. ”

"So", I said, "The key to whether the throne of the Taizhi can be kept now is not at all in me, or whether any concubine in the East Palace can have children, but in how to prevent Concubine Shu from being made the queen ......."

"How to stop it?" The queen spread her hands and said, "Once I am gone, which concubine the emperor wants to appoint as the queen, isn't it just his words?" What's more, Concubine Shu has children and relatives. Isn't it appropriate to set her up? ”

"Didn't the queen mother say that she could persuade the emperor to appoint Hu Guifei as the queen?"

The queen smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, I did have this kind of confidence, but today I see the emperor's love for the child of the concubine, and I am not sure." ”

"What does the queen mother mean is that only if these two people have no children, can they have a tie in the emperor's mind? So that the emperor can obey the will of the queen mother? ”

"Yes", replied the queen in the affirmative.

"Alas, if only Concubine Yang Shu didn't have a child." I sighed.

The queen looked up at me suddenly, and without knowing what suddenly came to mind, her face turned pale with abruptness.

I was also silent.
