γFlag .γ, popular free reading!
Now it is a bright March day in spring, the peach blossoms in the back garden of Shouchang Palace are blooming, Jiang Guifei stole half a day of leisure, and took Qingming and a few palace maids to the back garden to watch the peach blossoms.
Looking at the peach blossoms like clouds, Jiang Guifei couldn't help but sigh: "Unconsciously, it's been a year since this palace entered the palace......"
She is obviously only sixteen years old, but she has experienced countless ups and downs in life, and her heart has long been old.
When Qingming saw it, he pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand to fold a peach blossom and gave it to Jiang Guifei, and said softly: "Niangniang, you are still so young, but you are already the concubine Niangniang of the harem, didn't Your Majesty say it last night?" If you give birth to an heir, you will be made queen! β
Jiang Guifei didn't expect that she and Emperor Yongtai would say the love words between the bed, Qingming, and this girl heard all of them, and couldn't help blushing slightly, stretched out a snow-white finger, nodded on Qingming's forehead, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" β
Qingming pursed his lips and smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for the rest of the palace maids to step back, and then said in a very soft voice: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is already over forty years old, and the slave maid listened to the old eunuch in the palace talk about the ancients, saying that none of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty lived to be fifty years old!" In the future, the prince born to you will inherit the throne, you are not the queen mother, and you will only be in your twenties at that time, if you want a beautiful boy, you must be a beautiful boy, if you want a strong man, you must be a strong man, even if you want a woman, who can stop you......"
In the end, Qingming's eyes flashed slightly: "Besides, there are slaves and maids, slaves and maids will always accompany you......"
Listening to Qingming's words, Jiang Guifei smiled, with a hint of melancholy in her smile.
She put the peach blossom to the end of her nose and sniffed it gently, but did not speak.
Since knowing the personnel, her dream lover is Lin Jia, such a handsome and noble Lin Jia, she wants to marry Lin Jia, and one day become the most noble woman in the Great Zhou, and her family has also become the most noble family in the Great Zhou except for the royal family, and the blood of her and Lin Jia has been passed down from generation to generation in the royal family.
But by mistake, she became the concubine of Emperor Yongtai.
Although Emperor Yongtai is handsome, he is in his 40s after all, where can he compare with Lin Jia?
Thinking of this, Jiang Guifei's heart was full of resentment.
I didn't kill Bai Yuyu and Lin Yin last time, it's a pity, she will kill this mother and son sooner or later!
Qingming looked back and saw those palace maids standing beside an apricot tree far away, so he said in a low voice: "Niangniang, today Your Majesty went to Concubine Lian Hui after the court meeting......
Jiang Guifei smiled coldly and said, "An old woman with no family background is not a matter of concern. β
In the eyes of the sixteen-year-old Jiang Guifei, the twenty-one-year-old Concubine Lian Hui is not an "old woman"!
Qingming said softly: "Niangniang, the person we sent to Qingzhou has returned!" β
When Jiang Guifei heard this, her peach blossom eyes lit up: "How are things going?" β
Qingming approached Jiang Guifei and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, everything has been arranged in Qingzhou, that is, within this month, don't worry!" β
Jiang Guifei walked slowly along the bluestone path, and went through the Qingzhou incident again in her heart, making sure that there was nothing wrong, so she put her mind at ease and walked forward with Qingming.
She received news from her father that Lin Jia was about to go on an expedition to Goryeo, and after Lin Jia left, she would definitely lead Yuyu's mother and son to Qingzhou and then implement her plan......
In front of it, there is an elm-leaved plum tree, with its gorgeous petals overlapping and blooming brilliantly, decorating this garden with a gorgeous landscape.
Qingming pinched an elm leaf plum and crushed it, and suddenly asked, "Niangniang, it's time for you to come this month, right?" The slave remembered that it was due at the end of last month! β
Jiang Guifei's heart moved, and said, "Wait a little longer!" β
Since the beginning of the first month, every time she serves Emperor Yongtai, she has used the secret medicine of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang, so that Emperor Yongtai can't wait to die on her, so that even Concubine Hui, although she is a new favorite, can't cross her.
This kind of secret medicine is pregnant, maybe she is pregnant!
Qingming suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, why don't you ask Imperial Doctor Liang to come again!" β
Imperial Physician Liang is the Imperial Physician Liang Bixiu who is attached to the Jiang family, and his son has just married Jiang Guifei's sister-in-law, and the relationship with the Jiang Mansion has become closer and closer.
Jiang Guifei thought for a moment and said: "You can't let Imperial Doctor Liang come this time, if he comes, it will be too conspicuous, tomorrow you go out of the palace, and let Mrs. Tai bring a proper female doctor into the palace pretending to be a waiter." β
After experiencing the last miscarriage, Jiang Guifei became more and more cautious.
Now that she has become the concubine of Emperor Yongtai, there is only one way for her to give birth to the imperial heir and become the queen mother!
At this time, the courtyard of Shouchang Palace was quiet,
Xiaohuan, the palace maid who is responsible for washing the concubine's skirt, is washing at the well with another palace maid, Ruyan, who is responsible for cleaning the concubine's underwear.
Xiaohuan rinsed a pomegranate skirt with clean water, and said with envy: "Niangniang's clothes, except for underwear, only wear one water, you see Niangniang's clothes are so beautiful, the clothes are so exquisite, and the embroidery is so complicated, but Niangniang only wears one water to appreciate people, it's a pity!" β
Ruyan smiled, and while scrubbing the dirty pants in his hands, he said: "No matter how beautiful these clothes are, Niangniang will not reward a low-level palace maid like us, you will die of this heart!" β
Xiaohuan's eyes rolled: "Hey, you said that these intimate clothes of Niangniang, if they are stained with the moon letter, won't they have to be thrown away?" β
Ruyan said while washing clothes: "Naturally, let me burn it!" β
Xiaohuan smiled and said: "But this month, Niangniang didn't let you burn your underwear, did you burn it last month?" β
Ruyan didn't care: "I haven't burned it for two months, but I burned two dirty pants last month!" β
Xiaohuan smiled and changed the topic: "Ruyan, how many years do you have to leave the palace?" β
Ruyan only cared about counting the time, and forgot the topic he was talking about for a while.
That night, while the palace maid Xiumei in the same room was asleep, Xiaohuan got up and quietly went to find Li Xiuzhen.
The next morning, Li Xiuzhen found an excuse to take leave and went to Prince He's mansion.
The courtyard where Li Rui lived was very lively at this time.
Xiao Lin Yin is almost two years old, surprisingly lively and active, and he is Li Rui's senior follower, since Li Rui appeared in front of him after he came back, Ah Yin has been pestering Li Rui, for fear that Li Rui will disappear quietly again.
Li Rui has always been in charge of the housework of the palace, and he is also in charge of the feather coat guard, this time he has been out for so long, there is really a backlog of things to deal with, so he has to bring Xiao Lin Yin when he sees people.
The people in the palace talked back and forth, and when they saw that the monkey was on Li Rui, they couldn't help but smile: "Steward Li, the prince and you are really close!" β
Li Rui reached out and touched the soft little hand that Lin Yin placed on his face, and his heart was unusually soft.
The Flying Shadow and Spirit Magpie of the Feather Guard came to see Li Rui.
Seeing Shizi lying on Li Rui's shoulder, Lingque couldn't help but say, "Shizi, my subordinates will take you outside to catch birds, okay?" β
Lin Yin lay on Li Rui's back, and said like a little adult: "Thank you, but I made an appointment with Uncle Rui to fish together!" β
Seeing the white and cute children talking seriously, Lingque couldn't help laughing.
As soon as Feiying and Lingque left, Xiao Gang came in and reported: "Father-in-law Xiao Li asks to see you!" β
Li Rui was waiting for Li Xiuzhen, and immediately said, "Please let him in!" β
As soon as Li Xiuzhen came in, he saw the monkey on Li Rui's body, and couldn't help but smile: "The slave has seen the son!" β
Lin Yin tilted his head and looked at it, and said in a serious way: "Get up!" β
Li Xiuzhen got up with a smile.
Li Rui and Li Xiuzhen had a good relationship, and beckoned: "Xiuzhen, come and sit!" β
Li Xiuzhen agreed and sat down on the chair closest to Li Rui.
Li Rui turned Lin Yin over from his shoulders and held it in his arms, and then asked Li Xiuzhen: "How did that matter go?" β
Li Xiuzhen's eyes were dark: "I didn't come last month, and I didn't come this month, I'm afraid it's already there!" β
Li Rui nodded and said, "It's better to believe it than to believe it." You go back and keep watching, and if we can be sure, we should prepare. β
Li Xiuzhen agreed, glanced at the prince, and saw Lin Yin sitting in Li Rui's arms listening with his ears pricked up, and hurriedly whispered: "Brother, the prince is listening on the side, is it okay?" β
Li Rui stroked the black hair that hung down smoothly on Lin Yin's head, and his voice was gentle: "Although the prince is young, these things should be touched by him!" β
Li Xiuzhen looked at Lin Yin and saw that his pair of little phoenix eyes were exactly the same as the prince's, and he obviously understood, so he sighed: "The prince is really smart, what did we know when we were young, like fools!" β
Li Rui laughed, touched Lin Yin's head again, and said, "The son of the world will be a person who will do great things in the future, how can he be the same as us?" β
After sending Li Xiuzhen away, Li Rui took Lin Yin's hand and went to Tingsong Courtyard.
Today's weather is sunny, the spring breeze is smooth, Yu Yu is sitting under the porch reading, Han Lin, Doctor Jin and Aunt Shen are accompanying her.
Beside the railing lay a small carved crib, on which a lovely little baby girl was lying, and the sun shone through the balustrade and the flowers and trees outside the railing, casting mottled shadows on her white little face. It looks fairer and fairer.
Lin Yin took Li Rui's finger and walked over, and said, "Uncle Rui looks at my sister!" β
Li Rui walked over, looked at the baby girl who was sleeping soundly, and felt a little sad in his heart - this girl will replace the real Chang'an County Lord and become the new Chang'an County Lord in the future!
Yu Yu put down the book and looked at it, her eyes were gentle: "The prince named her Tinglan." Tinglan eats well and sleeps well, but she is a good person to feed, and her personality will definitely be good in the future! β
She thought of her daughter in her heart, and raised her eyes to look at Li Rui: "Naya...... Is Han Qing good to Naya? β
Li Rui couldn't help but feel sad when he saw Yu Yu's big eyes moist, and said in a low voice: "Han Qing is very good to Naya, Liangchen said that Han Qing is ready to let Naya be the king of Western Xia!" β
Yu Yu couldn't help laughing, sighed, and said: "The women of the Great Zhou Dynasty live a fairly arbitrary life, the state religion of Western Xia is the Guizhen Sect, how can the Guizhen Sect let a queen appear in the Western Xia?" Han Qing is really whimsical! β
She got up and walked to the railing, lying on the railing to look at the peach blossoms outside the railing: "It's okay, we will definitely think of a way to let Naya come back in the future!" β
Li Rui could feel Yu Yu's sadness, and said in a dumb voice: "There will be such a day!" β
Spring is warm, fragrant flowers, and peach blossoms swaying in the spring breeze, which is the most beautiful season of the year.
Yu Yu knew that Li Ruilai was going to return to Concubine Jiang Guifei, so he asked the female doctor Jin to look at Ah Yin and Ting Lan, and walked to the Bauhinia tree in front of him with the cold forest.
After listening to Li Rui's words, Yu Yu took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Let's be sure, if she is really pregnant, let's start acting!" β
She has always been a person who will repay her, and if others treat her well, she will do her best to reciprocate; If someone wants to harm her, she will repay the favor in the way of others.
Jiang Hao wanted to harm her, hurt her Ah Yin, and then Yu Yu made Jiang Zhen lose her most important thing!
Mrs. Jiang is very mobile, and a few days after Qingming went to the house to spread the word, Mrs. Jiang took a maid and a daughter-in-law to hand over a sign to the audience.
Jiang Guifei was waiting in the main hall of Shouchang Palace, and when she heard the report of the palace maid outside, she hurriedly ordered: "You all retreat, just stay in Qingming!" β
Old Madam Jiang soon came in with the palace maid who ushered her, and she was about to curtsy, but was stopped by Jiang Guifei herself: "Grandmother! β
Seeing that Jiang Guifei insisted on refusing to let herself salute, Mrs. Jiang did not insist on saluting, and sat down on the red sandalwood couch with Jiang Guifei.
Seeing that the hall was full of her own people, Mrs. Jiang gave the decent daughter-in-law who came with her a look.
The daughter-in-law stepped forward respectfully, knelt in front of Jiang Guifei, stretched out her fingers and began to look at the pulse.
After reading the pulse, she seemed to look at it again in order to be sure, and then she got up and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Niangniang!" Congratulations to the old lady! β
Mrs. Jiang was overjoyed and immediately got up: "Congratulations to Niangniang for being pregnant with a dragonborn!" β
Qingming, Lichun and the cronies who came with the old lady also bowed: "Congratulations to Niangniang!" β
Jiang Zhen raised her head and forced back the tears that were about to gush out - she lost her first child too unjustly, this child is related to her bright future and the wealth and glory of the Jiang family, no matter what, she must be saved!
Hearing the news that Mrs. Jiang had brought a strange daughter-in-law into the palace, Yu Yu laughed and said in an affirmative tone: "Jiang Zhen must be pregnant!" β
She looked at Li Rui, her big eyes shining: "You go and act, just follow our plan in advance!" β
Li Rui replied "yes" and retreated.
At this time, Yu Yu was in the outer study, she got up and walked to Lin Jia's side and told her about it.
Lin Jia never cared about these things, but said: "Keep things confidential, if you are really involved, you must tell me!" β
He can't help but let Yu Yu do what she wants, so he will be Yu Yu's strong backing, if Yu Yu needs him, he will be a husband who protects his shortcomings, and he can clean up the mess for Yu Yu at any time.
Yu Yan smiled and leaned over to Lin Jia's lips and kissed her.
Seeing Lin Jia holding a letter paper in her hand, her delicate brows frowned slightly, Yu Yu hurriedly asked, "Ajia, what are you looking at?" β
Lin Jia handed the letter to Yu Yu and said, "Father is here again, now I don't know how many concubines there are, I am messing around every day, and I am not afraid of ruining my body!" β
Although he passed on to Emperor Yongtai, the king of Xingping is his father after all, Lin Jia has always restrained his father and prevented the king of Xingping from making too much trouble, who knows that he still can't prevent it.
Yu Yu was silent for a moment and said: "When the matter of Goryeo is resolved, you will show your majesty and let the prince come to live in the capital, and you can also watch him!" β
Lin Jia nodded and said, "That's the only way!" β
He took a pen, dipped some ink in it, and began to write a letter, ready to warn him of this ridiculous father.
After confirming that she was pregnant again, Jiang Guifei became cautious, rarely went out, and refused to even sit in the sedan chair.
On this day, the flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, the spring breeze is smooth, and Emperor Yongtai held a banquet in the spring pavilion of the imperial garden to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Lian Hui.
Now even Concubine Hui is being favored by Emperor Yongtai, and the concubines in the palace have also come to cheer.
Concubine Lian Hui had already found out that Concubine Jiang Guifei had not come, but she had not said anything, and when the banquet began, she snuggled up to Emperor Yongtai and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, did the concubine do something wrong?" β
Emperor Yongtai stroked Concubine Lian Hui's plump jade arm, and said in his heart: "What's the matter, my beloved concubine?" β
He has been working on state affairs for decades, and now that Lin Jia has shared his worries and relieved his labor, he can finally enjoy the warm fragrance of nephrite.
Concubine Lian Hui had already received Yu Yu's advice, and her pretty face was full of sadness at this time: "Your Majesty, today is the birthday of the concubine, Your Majesty loves the concubine, and personally organizes a banquet for the concubine, and the sisters in the palace all come to cheer, but the concubine refuses to come, it must be the concubine who offended her......"
Emperor Yongtai has been in love with Concubine Lian Hui very much recently, so he immediately beckoned to Gonggong Ding and instructed: "Ding Dang, you go to pick up the concubine, just say that it is my will!" β
Ding Dang smiled respectfully: "Your Majesty, the distance from Shouchang Palace to the Imperial Garden is quite far away, and the concubine Niangniang's body is delicate......"
Emperor Yongtai said indifferently: "You take my sedan chair with you!" β
Ding Dang lowered his eyes and replied softly "yes".
