Chapter 178: The Empress

When spring turns to autumn, when the queen diagnoses the happy pulse, the leaves of the imperial garden also turn from green to yellow.

The entire Jianzhang Palace was filled with joy.

At that time, Jiang Xian was holding the sorted account book to report to her on official business, the queen was still dignified, but her beautiful young face was shrouded in confusion: "Gu Zhaoyi, can you tell me how you felt when you were pregnant with the eldest prince?" ”

Hearing the uneasiness in her boss's words, Jiang Xian picked up some precautions and said to her, and after speaking, she said: "But when I saw Fujin's reaction, I knew that I was too worried." ”

"Why?"

"As soon as I talked about the discomfort of being pregnant, Fu Jin was anxious, and when she heard me say that as long as there is a degree in everything, there is no need to taboo it, she quickly jumped up from the spot to refute me, for fear that I would teach my mother badly. With such a palace maid envisioned for Niangniang by her side, how could she not serve her thoughtfully? ”

The queen turned around, and sure enough, she saw that the palace maid Fujin behind her was red-faced.

She smiled, shook her head and said, "Gu Zhaoyi is from here, and Fujin is still a girl." ”

"My body is congenitally strong, and the queen's phoenix body is precious, so I should pay more attention to it."

"The preciousness is fake, the heavy is true, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the first emperor's sacrifice are close at hand, you can't be sloppy, there is no adult prince in the court, and you can't hand it over to the Ministry of Rites, how much do you want me to keep an eye on, Concubine Zhang Xian can't be idle, I want to promote Lu Ronghua, and I'm afraid that she will cause trouble in vain."

The harem is one after another, and it is not easier than the emperor to deal with it.

The unity of the emperor and queen is both a right and an obligation.

Jiang Xian: "Lu Ronghua was born in a family, so I guess I can help my mother share her worries with a few clicks." ”

The queen glanced at her: "You are speaking easily! I'm thinking about it, didn't she always come to provoke you before? ”

That's what happened!

The queen is sparse and distinct, although she does not treat her friends warmly like a concubine, she can always take Jiang Xian into account in her business and do not teach her to suffer. Jiang Xian knew very well how rare such a boss was, so she also reciprocated, got along for several years, and never had a conflict.

Jiang Xian said that she didn't care: "I'm not in Jianzhang Palace or in Zhaoyang Palace, Lu Ronghua She didn't dare to come to these two palaces to find my trouble, besides, I am now in a higher position than her, she has to salute me when she sees me, and she has not taken the initiative to come to me for a long time." ”

The queen remembered that there was such a difference.

In the harem day after day, neither Rong Hua nor Zhaoyi can threaten her status, she still habitually protects Gu Zhaoyi, who is from a low background, so as not to be bullied.

"Now that I am finally pregnant, the emperor and the queen mother can rest assured."

The queen's hand was placed on her abdomen and her hand was clenched: "You don't have to worry about the relationship between the two of us after having a child, it is a matter between two children, and even if there is, it will be more than ten years later - when the child is older, his father has to take care of it." ”

The queen said that she was looking forward to having a son in one fell swoop, and when she had a son-in-law, she would stare at her stomach much less, and she would have fulfilled the responsibility of a wife: "If he is sensible and qualified, I am very pleased, no mother will look forward to the son is not good, but he is still so young, so small that I am even afraid that the sound of celebration outside will be too loud and disturb him." ”

The queen couldn't speak, but she held Jiang Xian's hand but exerted a little strength.

will not hold Jiang Xian painfully, but can feel the solemnity in her words: "Whether it is for ourselves or our children, we can't be estranged." ”

"The concubine understands."

The two have a good relationship, and they often refer to you and me in private.

Only this sentence, Jiang Xian called herself a concubine and replied solemnly.

The leader will not speak too thoroughly, and the stupid person who can understand the words will not be able to mix in front of the queen, what she wants to express to Jiang Xian is a red. If the prince is mediocre and incompetent, other princes are well valued by the emperor, and the prince who occupies the position of the prince but is not the prince is in a dangerous and embarrassing situation.

Xie Wang Ye is the best example.

He is not even a son-in-law, just because he has a good literary talent, he was valued by the first emperor and cultivated as a prince for a period of time, which is enough to become a reason for the new emperor to take him quickly.

The only solution is to be familiar with the new emperor since childhood, and the biological mother on both sides has a good relationship.

Having an emotional foundation cultivates trust, and no matter who sits on the dragon chair in the end, they will treat each other well.

After walking out of Jianzhang Palace, Jiang Xian had only one feeling: "The queen has lost weight again." ”

The queen does not like extravagance, daily wear is to maintain the royal dignity under the premise of maintaining the royal dignity, as simple and clean as possible, such as the jewelry and rouge gouache she wears, are the top royal rouge in the internal affairs house, but the palace is like Rong Guifei, her requirements for rouge are fine to the variety of roses, the color of the fashion in Beijing is different every year, she has requirements for the color number, and a lot of beauty things are added to it.

This is not in the case on the surface, and you have to pay for your own money.

If the queen wants, of course she has it at her fingertips, but she is not keen on it, and the rouge gouache on the dressing table is only the most basic ones.

In the modern era, it's the powder, eyebrow pencil, lipstick foundation...... There is only one of each, and the same cosmetics are used day after day: "I asked the queen last time if she didn't buy more?" She gave me more than she had on her dressing table. ”

"The queen is so simple and self-suffering, she deserves to be an example of motherhood in the world."

Chen Cairen rarely said a decent word.

β€”β€”The low-ranking concubines have the opportunity to be promoted together on the New Year's Festival, although they have no holy favor but they are favored, and they live in a corner of Bihua Palace, and Chen Changzai has also been promoted to the position of a talented person.

"The queen said that she had enough things to choose every day, and she really didn't have the heart to sit down at the dressing table and think about what kind of rouge to use today."

Man's energy is limited, and if he uses it more in one place, he will use it less in other places.

Every quarter, the Ministry of Internal Affairs plays out the jewelry in the case, and the queen never replaces it, and when she holds her hand today, the rings and bracelets on the queen's hands are all new patterns - she has lost a lot of weight, the old ring can't be hung, and the bracelet is too big, so she can only melt and beat, so Jiang Xian can see that she has lost weight.

I lost weight just after I was pregnant, can the queen really hold on?

Jiang Xian's worries are not entirely unreasonable, because there will be not only the Mid-Autumn Festival and the sacrifice to the emperor, but also the general election. The harem has not entered the newcomer for a long time, the emperor's heirs are not abundant, and the courtiers can't blame the emperor, so they can only go to the perspective of "not enough concubines are not good enough".

In the matter of the draft, even if the queen divides power, she can't be all in charge.

Jiang Xian looked back at the Jianzhang Palace, which had become smaller because of the distance, and was worried.

It's just that although the queen doesn't love power, she has a very strong sense of responsibility, and she holds back her strength to sort out the draft matters, and Jiang Xian is also entangled in other things - her stepmother Zhang handed a sign into the palace and vomited bitterness, just because of the draft, the threshold of the Jiang family is about to be broken!
