"Sometimes when I think about it, it's all about making people." Concubine Ning's voice was low, "Concubine Taisun is a blessed and noble person, but she didn't keep the child in her womb, and the humble body of the concubine is safe and sound. You don't know, when you heard the news that day, the concubine couldn't wait to go for you! โ
It's obviously impossible to replace, what's the use of saying this? Can you change what and get something back? It's just to make people sigh that the world is impermanent and the will of heaven is unpredictable!
Hu Shanxiang really couldn't understand what Ning Concubine was talking to himself about, and she was trying to arouse her sadness for no reason. She didn't want to go around in circles anymore, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Concubine Ning came to me today, but what's the matter?" โ
"It's okay, it's okay." Concubine Ning heard the bitterness in her words, raised her head, and smiled a little guilty, "The concubine is just because the child in this womb is getting older day by day, and she stretches out her arms and kicks her legs from time to time, so I think of your situation that day, the heart of a mother is the same in this world, so I want to see if there is any concubine you can do here." I don't want to do the opposite, but it arouses your sadness, it's really a concubine's. โ
Saying that, she sighed long, "Concubine Taisun, speaking of which the concubine and you are also fateful, can be pregnant before and after, although the double happiness of the day was not able to become a flower and a flower, but in the end it is our fate, the previous concubine also asked you about this pregnancy and childbirth, some words, should not be said, just for such a feeling, you are the most generous and benevolent, can you allow the concubine to say a heartfelt word to you?" โ
She looked at the maid standing on Hu Shanxiang's left and right.
Hu Shanggong was ordered to go back to the concubine Niangniang of Yong'an Palace this day, Hu Shanxiang stood in front of her two most trusted maids, Zhihe and Ruolian, and there were a few little maids next to him who poured tea and water to listen to the call, and glanced at Ning Concubine, Hu Shanxiang waved his hand, "Let them all go down." โ
There were only a few little maids who retreated, and Zhihe and Ruolian didn't move, lowering their eyebrows and lowering their eyes, as if they were settled.
Concubine Ning knew that it was impossible for them to leave her and Hu Shanxiang alone, she was pregnant at this time, and if something happened, even Concubine Taisun would not be able to get out of it. She stood up and knelt down, "Concubine Taisun, the concubine knows that this should not be said, but please take pity on the concubine with sincerity ......"
Before she finished speaking, Hu Shanxiang had already asked Ruolian to help her up, and said with a displeased face: "You are pregnant with a child in your belly, even if you don't take it seriously, you should also think of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, treat her well, how can you do this great gift?" Look at the nest with the child. Whatever is there, rise up and speak. As long as you don't overstep the rules too much, I will promise you that you will not be guilty of tossing the child. โ
She thought that Concubine Ning had something bad to say to herself, so she would make this big gift regardless of her body.
"Concubine Taisun, I don't know if you have heard the folk saying of 'introducing younger brothers'?" Seeing Hu Shanxiang looking at his puzzled eyes, Ning Concubine sat back on the brocade and said with a smile: "It's that some rich and noble children are not easy to raise, and raising one in front of them attracted the golden boy to look happy and come to reincarnate. โ
Hu Shanxiang looked at the humility in the corner of her eyes, and slowly picked up the tea, "That child has no chance with me, and it can't be attracted at this time, the doctor said that my body needs to be raised for more than a year before I can plan again, otherwise it will completely damage my body." โ
"The concubine is about to give birth in more than a month, and the concubine is willing to raise this child in the name of the princess." Ning Concubine rushed out.
Not only Hu Shanxiang, but even Zhihe and Ruolian changed color when they heard this.
Hu Shanxiang put down the teacup in shock, "Raised in my name?" Do you know that in such a situation, it is necessary to go to the mother to keep the child, so as not to rely on his own identity and bully his mother in the future. โ
"The concubine knows that because of the concubine's low status, this child is in front of me, and there is no big prospect, so it is better to raise it in front of you, the princess. In the future, when you give birth to a son-in-law, he will be more intimate than other brothers, and he will have the opportunity to help his younger brother govern the country and the world like the princes. And your kindness and generosity, the concubine doesn't have to worry that you will treat him badly, the concubine only begs you, let me be a nurse, be a concubine, take him to the age of two, he still has no long-term memory at that time, and he has been in front of you, calling you mother, even if the concubine goes, there will be no big thoughts, and the concubine can be regarded as a mother-son relationship who is pregnant with him......"
After Ning Concubine finished speaking, she looked at Hu Shanxiang without saying a word, she knew how much temptation she was for Hu Shanxiang, there was a ready-made child to raise in front of her, not only to be able to lead the younger brother, but also to have more certainty, in this palace, one more son is more to rely on, so the crown princess with three sons, Li Liangdi, and Guo Liangdi are the three women with the highest position in the East Palace, and other concubines can't go beyond them no matter how favored they are, so although Wang Guifei, who has no son, has ruled the six palaces for many years, she is praised for her talent, Zori's palace administration was in charge of affairs in the slightest, and she was very holy in her calm and graceful delivery, but she still couldn't ascend to the back position that was only one step away from her.
Listening to Concubine Ning's words, Hu Shanxiang couldn't help but be moved, his child fell, there was one in front of him, and he would be able to hold him in more than a month, and he would be able to call himself in the coming year, and he would be able to walk, maybe he would soon be able to get pregnant again. Concubine Ning also said that she volunteered to keep her son to go to her mother, even if she didn't want her life at that time, she could also send her away, and she was not afraid of any turmoil she would make.
Hu Shanxiang didn't show her temptation, she said with a faint smile: "Concubine Ning has a heart, but this child is still wronged after leaving his mother." You better dispel this thought, even if he is not raised in my name, he still wants to call me his mother, I am still his mother-in-law, and I will treat him well. This concubine of the dragon son and phoenix grandson is not as good as ordinary people's, that is also the heir of the emperor, and he can always be a prince in the future, you can also be an old feudal king, or take care of the child in the belly, waiting to enjoy his blessings. โ
Ning Concubine saw Hu Shanxiang's silent appearance, knowing that she would not reply to herself at this time, anyway, she had said everything she should say, no matter what the result was, it would not be harmful to herself, even if she didn't agree, she also showed her own heart of dependence, with today's statement, Concubine Taisun will always treat herself differently than others, and she will pay more attention to the child in her belly.
She stood up and bowed and said: "The concubine really thinks so, and I hope that the concubine will think about it, no matter when, you have thought about it and let someone tell the concubine that is, even if the liver and brain are ruined, the concubine is willing." There are many disturbances today, please forgive me, don't blame me for being rude. โ
Then she bowed her knees and withdrew.
Hu Shanxiang looked at her back, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
Not long after Concubine Ning left, the little maid came in and said, "Concubine He asks to see Concubine Taisun, if it is convenient for you here, the slave maid will invite her in." โ
Hu Shanxiang felt that his health was acceptable, so he asked the little maid to invite He Guifei in.
He Jiayu is here to ask for needlework," ...... The concubine made a summer dress for His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun according to what the princess had taught before, and I don't know if it fits, do you see if there is anything that needs to be changed? โ
Let her maid hand over the cyan poplin burden in her hand. Zhihe stepped forward to take it, took out the lilac-colored Hangzhou silk robe in the baggage and held it to Hu Shanxiang.
The stitches are fine and dense, and the placket is embroidered with dragon patterns before and after, which is very exquisite, although it is not as good as the royal thing, but it is still very suitable for wearing as homely clothes. It's just that Hu Shanxiang doesn't understand, why didn't He Jiayu just take it to curry favor with Zhu Zhanji and pass his own level?
"Concubine He has worked hard, I see that you have done a lot of needlework." Hu Shanxiang politely praised, "His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun and his father have gone out, and when he comes back, I will give it to him to try, and if there is anything to change, I will tell you about it." โ
As if she was happy to get her affirmation, He Jiayu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then the concubine will rest assured, as long as it is in your eyes, Your Highness will not be dissatisfied!" โ
Hu Shanxiang smiled, "I haven't made any clothes for His Highness these days, thank you for your hard work." She picked up the tea, with the intention of sending off the guests.
He Jiayu was not in a hurry to leave, and chatted idly, "...... Speaking of which, the concubine can have such a craft, and she also met the princess, and we all know everything about Islam, and we are all endless. It is not only our luck to have a housewife like you, but also our blessing. โ
Her face showed a slight amazement, "Sometimes the concubines want to ask God, how can someone as good as you lose a child?" As soon as the words fell, as if remembering that these words were a little out of place, he showed a little regret, and hurriedly explained, "The concubine doesn't have the intention to arouse your sadness, it's just that we have been married to the mansion for almost two years, and there has been no movement. As he spoke, he sat on the brocade and peeked at Hu Shanxiang's expression.
Hu Shanxiang smiled, no matter how good her temperament was, she knew that He Jiayu did it on purpose, and her face showed some coldness.
He Jiayu hurriedly euphemistically excused, "Originally, we had stopped the decoction before, but we hadn't waited for us to recuperate." Because of your affairs, the mother concubine told us to start eating the decoction of the child......"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, "Although this is for the sake of the elder, isn't Concubine Ning also pregnant with the elder?" Since the princess can tolerate her, she must also be able to tolerate us, why don't you go and talk to the concubine, or let us stop our decoction. โ
He Jiayu Xiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, "Everyone has their own blessings, if you can conceive, you are also a great meritorious, maybe you can give birth to a son-in-law early?" After all, the rule of our Ming Dynasty is that there is a grandson, and there is no grandson to grow, even if we are pregnant, we can't go beyond the one you gave birth to......"
