158 Grace and righteousness

Duchess An Guo stared at Gui Yue, looking at the changing expression on her face, knowing that this girl was afraid that she had hidden some words, and was about to ask again, but a little palace maid came to report: "Madam, the mother is awake, and she is calling for someone to carry the little prince in." ”

Duchess An Guo couldn't care about Guiyue anymore, and hurriedly got up and went to the inner hall.

"Mother, where is the child?" The queen asked weakly.

"Rest in the side hall!" Duchess An Guo sat down beside her daughter, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead, "How do you feel?" Why did you sweat so much? Don't you have a fever? ”

She raised her hand to test the temperature of the queen's forehead, but there was no sign of fever.

"Mother, I'm fine." The queen said softly, "I just feel that my body is weak, and I can't use my strength in my hands and legs." ”

"What are you going to do!" Duchess An Guo said angrily, "Just take care of it!" The doctor said that although this birth is thrilling, in the end, you and the child are blessed, and they are already fine. As long as you take care of it in the future, you can still be the same as before, and you can walk with the wind and ......."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. The imperial doctor quietly told her that the queen's premature birth this time was caused by qi, which hurt the fundamentals, and it was hopeless to have another child in the future.

"Look at you, you can't make up a nonsense." The queen smiled reluctantly, "What are you sad about?" Anyway, I have two sons by my side, who can bully me? ”

"Then the emperor's side......" Duchess An Guo felt sad when she thought of this, "The emperor is not an ordinary man, even if you have a little temperament, think about the prince, think about the little prince, you should be more restrained." Could it be that you must not suffer in front of the emperor? ”

At the mention of Chen Yuantai, the queen's heart shrank suddenly. She slowly closed her eyes and said softly: "Don't say it anymore, in the future, the emperor and I will return to the bridge and the road." I took care of the harem for him, and he taught the prince carefully, and there was no more affection for him. ”

When Duchess An Guo heard this, she was shocked. Chen Yuantai has always treated her daughter indifferently, and she and An Guogong know this. However, Chen Yuantai does not have any special favorites in his harem, and there is only one concubine who has a son, Concubine De, and Chen Yuantai does not have any out-of-the-ordinary care for their mother and son.

Therefore, whether it is the Deng family or the courtiers, they all think that Chen Yuantai is not a person who cares about women. It's just that the Dragon Boat Festival banquet made them wary of Qian Yulan. But at present, Qian Yulan has not yet entered the palace, and it is difficult for the emperor and queen to have anything to do with her this dispute.

"What do you say?" Duchess An Guo rebuked softly, "The emperor is the Ninety-Five, and he is the only one in the world who has wronged others, where can anyone suffer the grievances of the emperor and want to make up for it?" Don't get dizzy! Even if you want to be separated from the emperor, with these two children, can you be separated? ”

"At present, the prince's position is stable, but the emperor is in full bloom, in case any concubine is favored in the future, and the next smart one will be reborn, I will see what you will do then!" And this little one, don't you want to fight for him for the title of prince? ”

The queen shook her head and said, "No matter how the emperor is, he will not be wrong in the big face." I don't have to fight for the title of this little prince, the emperor will definitely give it. As for the prince, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, no matter how smart and favored the son born by the concubine is, he is ten years behind the prince, and he can't catch up with the horse. Besides, isn't there still you? ”

"You!" Duchess An Guo was so blocked by the queen's words that she had nothing to say, so she had to say, "Last year, because your sister-in-law recognized the second lady of the Wei Guogong Mansion as her goddaughter, and wanted to keep a matchmaker for the two of them, how angry do you see the emperor?" This time in the war, I borrowed Wen Jiao's marriage again, and forcibly pulled out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from our family! King Ning went to Jinling with a trip to Jinling, there is no merit, there is always hard work, right? The emperor didn't give him a penny of credit, but only rewarded the pro-army commander with a four-grade affair! Isn't it a joke that you say that he is a prince and still obeys the orders of others? Look at King Jin, now he is the palm print governor of Zhengyipin! ”

"What's the use of talking about that now?" The queen said tiredly, "My father is getting older and older, and my brother is a person who can't do anything, so it's right to quickly call Brother Hong'er back and let my father teach him for two years." ”

Duchess An Guo said in a low voice: "Brother Hong'er is now going to sea with the fleet in the south, and when he left, he said that he would come back in about a year and a half, and now it has been more than five months. ”

"Brother Hong'er is the only seedling of our family, so don't you let him go?" The queen asked, surprised.

"If I had known earlier, would your father and I have let him go?" Duchess An Guo also had a sad expression, "This kid has always had a big idea, originally said that he would go to Huguang to check the accounts, and he didn't send someone back to report the news until he went to sea." ”

The matter has come to this point, and the queen is not good to say anything. It happened that the palace people hugged the little prince over, and the queen struggled to sit up, and as soon as she lifted the quilt, tears rolled down.

The child born more than eight months pregnant, born by his own desperate life, looks as weak as a newborn kitten, and a slight anger comes out of his young body, almost making people feel the existence of breathing.

"You have to be good," the queen stroked her son's little face and said softly, "In the future, my mother will point to you and your brother to live......"

Chen Xi hurried to the gate of the palace and hurried to the Qianqing Palace. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the jade steps outside the Qianqing Palace, Chen Xi saw the prince coming from the Wenhua Hall in the east.

"Your Highness." Chen Xi stopped and bowed to the prince.

"Second brother, why be polite." The crown prince stepped forward to help him up with his own hands, and asked with some concern, "Are you also going to see your father?" ”

"Well," Chen Xi responded, "I discussed the matter of the Liaodong Guard with my father yesterday, and I haven't finished talking about it. When I entered the palace, I heard that the queen mother had given birth prematurely this morning, so I hurried over to take a look......"

The crown prince nodded and said softly: "I am also here for this matter, and I want to ask my father to allow me to go to see the queen mother......"

Chen Xi then remembered that since the last time the queen and Deng Wenjiao took the opportunity to make trouble in the Baohua Hall and punished Du Mingxin for kneeling and reciting Buddhist scriptures, Chen Yuantai did not allow the queen to meet the prince at will.

Chen Xi felt slightly embarrassed on his face, but fortunately, the two of them had already walked to the door of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and the prince directly greeted him.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Jin." After he finished saluting, he whispered, "An Guogong is inside at this time...... Would you two wait a bit? ”

Chen Xi realized that he had come at an inopportune time, and was about to leave and go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but was pulled by the prince: "Second brother, you can wait with me for a while." After a while, my father asked me to go in, and you can help me plead for mercy, I am afraid that my father will not agree to let me go to see my mother...... But as long as you open your mouth, your father will definitely agree......"
