Ruian Palace, there was a dead silence, and there was no sound.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch, frowning and worried.

The palace people all retreated in recognition of each other.

After a long time, the curtain moved, and Concubine Ling walked out from behind the brocade tent and slowly walked to the Queen Mother: "Aunt Huang, do you say that what Shao Ziqing said is true?" ”

The Queen Mother swallowed: "The ancestor did have the admonition of not marrying with the same surname, but this cousin's marriage is everywhere in the world, so he is a little arrogant, right?" ”

"But why hasn't Ling'er been pregnant? In this palace, Ling'er has been waiting for the emperor for the longest time, and before Chu Yuehua entered the palace, Ling'er also received the most favor from the emperor. Seeing that they were all pregnant one after another, Ling'er was left without moving, and the bitter decoction was drunk like a sea, and even Shi Yunhai, the imperial doctor specially found by his father, couldn't see any way. ”

Concubine Ling said depressedly and a little depressed.

"Maybe it's just that Shao Ziqing deliberately talked nonsense in order to anger you, after all, your radical method is a bit too much. Don't take it to heart, concubines in this palace are full of infertility for several years, just like fate, you can't find it. The Queen Mother patiently persuaded her.

Concubine Ling was a little distracted, and she was stunned and thought for a while: "Perhaps, many imperial doctors in the palace also know the reason, but they are afraid of my identity, so they don't dare to tell the truth." If they were like this today, Ling'er hid their identities, and then threatened them with death or coldly provoked them, maybe they would have said such things. ”

The Queen Mother herself was also bottomless, and when she heard Concubine Ling say this, she was even more flustered.

"Impossible, Ling'er, you are good at raising your body, stick to it, there will always be hope."

"Hope? What hope is there? Concubine Ling's words suddenly became sharp: "Since the emperor has Chu Yuehua, he has never touched us again." There are already cobwebs on the door of my Jiaofang Palace! Just like the people in the palace said, we can't fight Chu Yuehua, and now that God is helping her, we don't have to waste our efforts. ”

"Which bold minion is this, who dares to talk about the master behind his back?"

"The whole harem is talking like this! They said, Queen Mother, you were just an unfavored concubine. After you can become a country, you are just borrowing the light of the emperor and the queen mother. Now, the Empress Dowager has fallen into the hands of the Empress, which shows that the Empress is even better than the Empress Dowager. Therefore, even if you help me, we are not her opponent Chu Yuehua. Now, she is pregnant again, once she gives birth to a prince, she is the eldest son, and everything will be a foregone conclusion! ”

Concubine Ling's deliberate provocation made the Queen Mother instantly annoyed and angry: "Dream! As long as there is a mourning family, this Forbidden City will not have her Chu Yuehua's place to speak! ”

Concubine Ling's tears crackled down in time: "It's all because Ling'er is not angry, so that the imperial aunt is worried and tired." Now there is no way out, there is no heir, and in the future, Ling'er may not even be qualified in the lonely old palace, and she is destined to end up in a bleak end. ”

The Queen Mother wiped the tears from her face distressedly: "Silly boy, what are you afraid of, even if you can't give birth to the prince and grandson, don't be discouraged, we can still follow the example of the Queen Mother back then, and give birth to a child in the womb, isn't it the same to stabilize the position?" ”

"But if Chu Yuehua can give birth to a dragon son, isn't it the same as riding on the head of the concubine? The concubine body is also a day when she has no future. ”

Concubine Ling pleaded with a wailing voice.

The Queen Mother's expression was furnished, and she became extremely serious: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that what you want to do? ”

Concubine Ling's eyes suddenly flashed a grim color, and she gritted her teeth: "Didn't the imperial aunt say that Chu Yuehua categorically cannot have an heir." ”

"That was before!" The Queen Mother interrupted her sharply: "Now that the Chang family and the party have been destroyed, Chu Yuehua's power above the court does not pose much of a threat to us, and it doesn't matter much whether she has children or not."

Moreover, the emperor's heirs are thin, and for so many years, no one has been able to give birth to a dragon son for the emperor. The mourning family has thought about it, so don't be too harsh, no matter what her identity is, as long as she can continue to have children for the royal family, the mourning family will accept it. ”

One sentence made Concubine Ling a little dumbfounded: "Aunt Huang, you don't want to compromise with her Chu Yuehua, right?" ”

"It's not a compromise, what she is pregnant with in her belly is always lonely and cold, and she is also the grandson of the mourning family, so the mourning family will never allow it, you have the idea of beating the fetus in her womb."

Concubine Ling instantly howled and cried: "In the final analysis, the imperial aunt still dislikes Ling'er and has not come out, and she is disappointed in Ling'er!" ”

"Ling'er!" The Queen Mother blamed: "It's true that the mourning family hurts you, even more so than your daughter." But the mourning family also has to think about the design of the country and the royal heirs, and you can't let you do whatever you want. The mourning family will naturally make decisions for you and plan a splendid way out for you, but you must not think crankily and do things that are not good for Yuehua's fetus, otherwise Hugh blames the imperial aunt for not remembering the past relationship between us. ”

The Queen Mother spoke sharply and reprimanded Concubine Ling with her head and face. Concubine Ling slowly stopped sobbing and covered her face with her sleeves to hide her fierceness.

The news of the queen's joy quickly spread throughout the Forbidden City, and the joy in the sky enveloped the Qingqiu Palace.

Mo Guhan insisted on letting Yuehua move back to live in the Qianqing Palace, and Yuehua wanted to stay here under the pretext that she needed to recuperate.

Mo Guhan can be obedient to other things, but he is not worried about Yuehua's body, and he has repeatedly told him that he can't move in here himself, and he is inseparable.

In fact, it doesn't make much difference which palace Yuehua lives in, Mo Gu always has to sleep with her at night. It's just that those old ministers in the court always catch this matter and repeatedly admonish him, Yuehua doesn't want him to be too embarrassed.

What's more, now that she is pregnant, she can't sleep, so it's better to separate from him.

Mo Gu Han ordered Rong Xiang to check the background of the subordinates in the Qingqiu Palace again, especially the palace people who were serving Yuehua in the near future, and the palace sent several secret guards to secretly protect Yuehua's safety, and the matter of asking her for a pulse all fell on Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was now not only promoted to the imperial doctor, but also was promoted by Mo Guhan in the matter of the plague in the Qingqiu Palace, and was given the responsibility of deputy court judge.

He knew that he had received Yuehua's kind words, so he did his best for her, and he was very attentive to her in many aspects such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Yuehua found an opportunity to transfer Shui Yao into the Qingqiu Palace and let her serve in front of her. Although Yushu is clever, after all, he has not had much time to enter the palace, and he speaks as bluntly and quickly as incense, and he still lacks tempering. In contrast, Shui Yao is much calmer, and there are some secret things that can be explained to her to do.

Yuehua's every move is restricted, many things can't be done, no matter where she goes, there are ten pairs of eight pairs of eyes staring, where is there still a little freedom? Life in the palace also became extremely boring.

She originally planned to find a secluded place in the harem to plant some vegetables and vegetables to pass the time. I heard that a greenhouse was built, and there was a warm kang in it, even if the vegetables are planted now, in the middle of winter, as long as the management is meticulous, there can be fresh vegetables to eat.

There has never been a shortage of fresh vegetables and fruits in the palace, and Yuehua just misses the peace in the maple forest.

Now that the ground has been turned over, the fat has been soaked, and the shed has been built neatly, Mo Guhan does not allow her to work inside.

Wynne volunteered to take on all of this, directing the minions below to clean up the greenhouse properly.

The news of Yuehua's pregnancy naturally also spread to Ci'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager sat in the courtyard of Ci'an Palace, basking in the sun, obviously a little old. Sitting there motionless, like a frost-beaten leaf, hanging low and listless.

Her hands are still extremely delicately maintained, and under the white flesh skin, the cyan veins are abruptly arched like earthworms, slightly hideous.

The concubines who were sent in by Yuehua were all locked up in a room by Mama Lin, and they were sent rouge gouache and silk satin on time.

At this time of the day, they would fight and bleed their heads, fight, snatch, scream, curse, or curse in the house.

But at the end of the day, it can be exchanged for more peace and tranquility. The temptation of rouge makes them obediently obey Mama Lin's orders.

If the Empress Dowager appeared in their sight, they would scold even more ugly, all kinds of unbearable, and show crazy hostility towards her. She was already in bad spirits, and these people tossed and abused day and night, making her more and more depressed.

She sat in the sun for a while, and then she fell asleep.

Someone passed by the gate of Ci'an Palace, and as usual, he screamed at the top of his throat: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Today's voice is desolate, and it is already a little hoarse, as if his wife is shouting with all her strength. The Empress Dowager woke up with a stirring spirit, and she was completely sleepy.

Suddenly, the concubines who were locked in the house immediately became energetic again, and rushed to the window, desperately shaking the fence on the window.

"The emperor is here, the emperor has come to see us."

Then there was endless bickering, invective.

The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes, looked at the closed door of the palace, and found that she also had a faint expectation. She was also looking forward to it, the door of the palace slowly opened, and then the husband and emperor who had been with her for half her life, wearing a dazzling dragon robe, appeared in front of her, stretched out his hand to her, and said slowly: "Let's go with me." ”

It is said that if people have been frequently recalling the people and things in the past, then they are not far from Huangquan Road.

Mama Lin came out of the house with a pair of wet hands and shouted angrily: "Mama Wei, Mama Wei, they are making a fuss again!" ”

Then Mama Wei came out of the next room with a book, threw it in through the window, and lied: "The emperor has an order, if any of you can memorize this book as soon as possible, you will summon whoever you are to bed." ”

There was still a lot of scramble inside, and some people cursed Mama Wei viciously.

Mama Wei was already poor in donkey skills, and she helplessly spread her hands at the Queen Mother. The guards guarding outside the Ci'an Palace would shout coldly on a whim, which made these women instantly excited. There is no rouge gouache in the palace anymore, and it is always a method, and these crazy women have learned to be smart.

The Empress Dowager got up helplessly and wanted to go back to her room, which was quieter.

The door of the palace sounded, it was the little eunuch who delivered lunch came in, Mama Wei wanted to go forward to pick it up, Mama Lin was already a step faster, and hurriedly pushed her away: "You go and get busy." ”
