Mama Yuan's face turned pale the moment she heard those words.

With her experience of serving in the palace for a long time, how can she not know that the Queen Mother is pregnant?

But she didn't dare to say it, and even intentionally or unintentionally didn't let the Queen Mother invite the Imperial Doctor, in order to let the Queen Mother react by herself, and then think of a way by herself.

But I didn't expect that now that I am in power, Your Majesty is young, and the affairs of the Queen Mother are extremely heavy, so that I am too busy to think about this.

But what I didn't expect was that this aunt of Jianning Hou was so straightforward and quick to break the situation in one sentence.

Concubine De was also stunned when she heard this.

In the silence, Xia Li suddenly spoke: "The first emperor actually has a posthumous son? ”

It's not that her brain is spinning fast, but they don't know the previous secrets, and they don't have to worry about guessing whether the Queen Mother has any chances after leaving the city, just thinking that the Queen Mother is pregnant, and the first emperor has only been dead for a month or two, counting the days, isn't it normal to react at this time.

Mama Yuan's brain was also struck by this lightning, and her heart was settled, and she pretended to pat her head, "Oh, the old body is really old and confused, and I didn't even think about it!" Just being a mother is overworked! If so, it would be a great joy! Niangniang deserves to be a person of good fortune! ”

Concubine De obviously heard the irrepressible reminder in Mama Yuan's words, and then looked at Xia Li again, and two blushes flew on her face, "Pass on the imperial doctor." ”

"How? Niangniang is really pregnant with the first emperor dragon species? ”

The imperial doctor just put his finger on Concubine De's wrist, and when she just started to take the pulse, Mama Yuan reminded her appropriately.

The imperial doctor did not doubt that he was there, so he looked into it carefully, and got up with great joy, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, it is indeed a happy pulse!" ”

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, renew the bloodline for the first emperor!"

Mama Yuan shouted loudly, and the palace maids and eunuchs of Changle Palace behind her knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, renew the bloodline for the first emperor." ”

And the three daughters of the Xia family, who happened to meet them, also followed in a fog.

The matter was settled.

When the news came out, no one in the palace felt anything, after all, the queen mother favored the harem, and how normal it was to have a former emperor's posthumous abdomen.

What is a coincidence, pregnancy is a mysterious thing, no one can say.

What's more, now that the power of the government is in the hands of others, who dares to say anything else?

And when the news reached the ears of the courtiers, everyone did not make too many waves except for the novelty and discussion for a while.

Without him, the current Majesty is also Concubine De's own son, and Concubine De has no reason to change the current Majesty from any point of view.

In this case, there will be no change in the situation of the court.

The court situation has not changed, for these courtiers who pay attention to interests, it is just a woman giving birth to a baby, who cares!

The news reached Dongfang Bai's ears, and he hurriedly went to Changle Palace while reading a book, and after asking for the exact news, he was stunned and digested for a while, and then left very happily.

Although he is the Son of Heaven, he is only a seventeen-year-old child.

Watching Dongfang Bai's back leave, Concubine De sighed secretly in her heart.

Only she knows that the first emperor is old and has long been pure-hearted, and this child can only possibly

She gently clutched her lower abdomen and gradually lost her mind.

——

"Second brother!"

As soon as the three daughters of the Xia family returned to the Jianning Hou Mansion, they saw Xia Jingyun who had time to return to the house at noon, and Xia Ningzhen happily stepped forward to greet her.

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "How is the situation of entering the palace today?" Nothing went wrong, did it? ”

He seemed to ask her, and his eyes looked at his mother and aunt inquiringly.

Xia Ningzhen preemptively said: "The Queen Mother is very good!" He also said that he would make me the lord of the county! But second brother, we learned a big thing today! ”

Xia Jingyun looked at Xia Ningzhen's troubled appearance, smiled dumbly, and said very loudly: "What is a big thing?" ”

"The Queen Mother is happy!"

！！！

Xia Jingyun's footsteps slammed, and he turned his head to look at Xia Ningzhen in disbelief.

Xia Ning really didn't know the reason for his second brother's shock, and said with a smile: "Really, we were on the spot when the imperial doctor diagnosed, and we were all shocked at that time, but we didn't expect that the first emperor had died for two months, and there was still unborn bloodline." ”

Xia Jingyun listened to the first half of the sentence, and finally regained some composure after listening to the second half.

He turned his head to look at Feng Xiuyun who was standing aside, and Feng Xiuyun nodded slightly with a complicated expression.

He replied haphazardly, and made an excuse to go to the study.

walked all the way to the study and sat down, he slowly came back to his senses and settled down, and smiled bitterly, maybe this is a thief?

Obviously, everyone didn't think about anything else, but they couldn't help but be suspicious.

Gradually, there was only one doubt left in his mind: Is it his own?

After thinking for a while, he pressed his head speechlessly, how does this thing know, go and ask my sister Maybe she doesn't know, and there is no paternity test these days.

More importantly, can this be asked?

In a moment of melancholy, Feng Xiuyun pushed the door and walked in, walked to his side, and gently pressed his shoulder, "Don't worry." ”

Except for the two of them, only Feng Xiuyun knew about this matter, and after listening to her words at this moment, Xia Jingyun rubbed his eyebrows, and just wanted to say that if Feng Xiuyun went to the palace that day to ask, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Fugui's voice was a little eager, "Childe, Your Majesty is here." ”

Xia Jingyun stood up and hurriedly greeted him.

When he went out, he was kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and Dongfang Bai was also smiling gently and asking everyone to be polite.

Seeing Xia Jingyun, Dongfang Bai smiled and said, "Uncle, I heard that you have moved to a new mansion, so I came to take a look." ”

Xia Jingyun saluted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister has not been able to welcome him from afar, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame you." ”

"Okay, uncle, let's be polite, take me to see your mansion! If there's something missing, I'll make it up for you. ”

As he spoke, Dongfang Bai stepped forward and skillfully took Xia Jingyun's hand.

Xia Jingyun smiled and led him towards the mansion.

Looking at the backs of the two, the servants and guests in the hall, including the Xia family, really realized Xia Jingyun's monstrous power.

"Uncle, the queen mother is going to give birth to a younger brother to me."

Dongfang Bai opened his mouth to say the biggest news of the day, Xia Jingyun calmed down a lot after the initial extreme shock, and said with a smile: "How does Your Majesty know if it is a younger brother or a younger sister?" What if it's a princess? ”

Dongfang Bai was stunned, "The queen mother has the physique to give birth to a son, how can she give birth to a sister?" ”

Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "If you say this, then there should only be brothers and sisters in the world, where are the brothers and sisters and brothers from?" ”

Dongfang Bai was stunned again, right.

Xia Jingyun continued: "The minister speculates that what determines whether we give birth to a boy or a girl should be a substance in our body, and there is one piece between men and women, and the so-called combination of yin and yang will have an heir." But the sex and appearance of the offspring will change according to these two things, just as yellow and red are orange, and yellow and blue are green. ”

Dongfang Bai didn't seem to understand, "Can you still do this?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Our human body is also extremely mysterious, and there is a saying in the Dao Treasure that the human body is also like a secret treasure, and it has its own world, maybe in each of our bodies, there is really a wonderful world." For example, if the body is bleeding from a breach, just like the river bursting its banks, there are countless sandbags of villain carriers that are difficult for us to see with the naked eye to plug the gap, and in our eyes, it is the wound that stops bleeding and scabs. ”

Dongfang Bai was dumbfounded when he heard it, there were a lot of these strange things in his uncle's mouth in the past, and he could barely understand it, but what he said today, how could it feel so absurd!

"Don't believe me?" Xia Jingyun turned his head and smiled.

Dongfang Bai didn't hide it, and nodded decisively.

"I know you don't believe it. Go, take you there, see a good thing. ”

While speaking, Xia Jingyun took Dongfang Bai to a small courtyard that was strictly guarded by a nursing home.

Pushing open the door, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

I saw that there were many tools and various spare parts neatly placed in the room, and several basic rulers and sticks were prepared according to different sizes.

"Originally, I planned to build a room for Your Majesty in the palace, but the Yanguan's mouth is not forgiving, give them such a good opportunity, even if they don't dare to scold Your Majesty, it is ironclad to scold the ministers with blood, so I had to set up a room in the house, and Your Majesty can come often when I go back."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Dongfang Bai's thanks, but picked up a wooden box on the table, opened it slowly, took out a small object from it and handed it to Dongfang Bai, "Your Majesty, look at this." ”

Dongfang Bai subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, "What is this?" ”

"The name of this thing is magnifying glass. After the minister also used this thing to see it, he gave birth to many whimsical ideas, Your Majesty might as well try it. ”

Saying that, Xia Jingyun took out another piece of paper and put it on the table, letting Dongfang Bai sit on the chair and look at it with a magnifying glass.

Dongfang Bai looked at the letter suspiciously, and was almost so frightened that he threw it out at once.

The small characters that were originally as thin as mosquitoes and flies have become the size of a child's palm under the mirror!

After he calmed down his panic, collected his mind, looked slowly, and finally realized the wonder of this mirror.

"Your Majesty might as well take another look at this."

Saying that, Xia Jingyun handed over a leaf of an evergreen shrub, Dongfang Bai took a look, and saw that on the leaves that he usually ignored, there were many clear and dense lines, and under the lines, there seemed to be a small grid, but when he tried to see more clearly, no matter how he widened his eyes, it was in vain.

"This mirror can only be magnified to this extent."

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "I have already informed Young Eunuch Zhang, who will be the prisoner, of the specific production method, and when he makes a better one, he will definitely present it to His Majesty as soon as possible." ”

Dongfang Bai nodded again and again, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xia Jingyun said slowly: "Whether it is flowers and leaves, sand and gravel, although it is subtle, there may be something inside, just like the Buddhist saying that one flower is one world." ”

Dongfang Bai sighed with emotion, "Between heaven and earth, there is a miracle." ”

"But Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to say a word, these things are all strange and clever skills in the eyes of ordinary readers, not the right way. Although the minister does not approve of it, he is willing to study the truth of heaven and earth, but His Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should give priority to governing the country and nurturing the people, and must not indulge in it and waste state affairs, otherwise the minister will not atone for his sins, and he is even more sorry for the people with lofty ideals who have worked hard and even sacrificed their lives for His Majesty's accession to the throne. ”

Looking at Xia Jingyun's straight face, Dongfang Bai also smiled, "In order for me to ascend the throne, isn't it the uncle and the queen mother who spend the most effort?" ”

He stood up, although his body was small, he already had a bit of an imperial bearing, "Uncle, don't worry, I know how difficult it is for me to get this position, and I will definitely not waste it." The three teachers will soon be in Beijing, and I will continue to study as before. ”

Xia Jingyun subconsciously stretched out his hand, then reacted and hurriedly retracted.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by Dongfang Bai, pulled it over and pressed it on his head, grinning at him.

Xia Jingyun's face showed relief and rubbed it gently.

"Uncle, I will have a gift for you today."

"Oh? What? ”

"Don't worry, we'll find out until the afternoon."

Dongfang Bai sold a pass, showing a smug smile.

——

In the afternoon, Su Laogong, who had just returned to the house to rest for a while, was called into the palace gate again.

Confused, he suddenly understood after seeing the old master of Qin, who had also entered the palace.

"The two princes are both outstanding people, what is the matter of mourning the family, there must be no need to say more, right?"

Concubine De, who was sitting through the beaded curtain, said lightly, and threw the problem to the two old men.

Aren't you two smart, so let the two of you fight for yourselves.

Su Lao Xianggong and the old god were there, and he didn't speak.

The old master of Qin lowered his eyebrows, as if he was in a state of mind.

Concubine De was not angry, the three of them seemed to be participating in the meditation, and there was silence in the hall, only long breaths came and went.

"The old minister is brave, may I ask the Queen Mother, but do you want the daughters of our two families to marry Brother Ling?"

In the end, it was the courtier Su Lao Xianggong who seemed to "take the overall situation into account" and took the lead in speaking.

And this opening also shows the wisdom of this old man who has read all the world.

The Su and Qin families are both rare helpers, with the current situation, unless Concubine De is already an emperor's heart, and she begins to be afraid of Xia Jingyun's future and intends to restrict it, otherwise with their relationship, Xia Jingyun will never let Xia Jingyun give up any person.

Moreover, if you want to persuade one party to withdraw, you should not invite both parties at the same time.

But Old Minister Su didn't seem to have realized this level, and asked a very simple question stupidly.

And the title is also very subtle, not Jianning Hou, not Xia Jingyun, but Ling Di.

Concubine De naturally understood, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty can ascend the throne, Ah Di has made great contributions, he is bright and upright by nature, and he loves the people, and the mourning family believes that he will be a good courtier, and he will never be suspicious and wary of him." And he and the two noble daughters of the country's family are in love, in this case, what reason does the mourning family have, if they don't help him fulfill his wishes, what kind of face does he have to let him give up any beloved? ”

Speaking of this, she sighed silently in her heart, and unconsciously covered her lower abdomen.

After getting the information he wanted, Old Minister Su asked again: "Is there a precedent for this matter?" ”

The Su family and the Qin family are both top families, although Xia Jingyun is now powerful, they still don't want to bear the reputation of clinging to the powerful and selling women for glory.

Concubine De smiled and picked up the two booklets in her hand and asked Mama Yuan to hand them to the two of them.

"This is what Han Xueming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, found in ancient books."

Old Minister Su took a look, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, Han Xueming's dog thing was clearly half-copied and half-made.

But after thinking about it, it is estimated that a well-read person like him can find the mistakes and omissions, and as for others, how many people can understand it!

And he really likes the atmosphere of this negotiation, there is no power coercion and consideration behind it, there is just a sense of truth.

Because in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Yanyan and Qin Li are already in love with Xia Jingyun, and from a practical point of view, if they don't marry Xia Jingyun, others will not dare to marry, and the Queen Mother can completely take care of them in reverse.

But the Queen Mother did not, not only did not, but also did not let them hand over part of their real power while agreeing to this marriage, so as to weaken the power of this marriage group, but negotiated amicably with a little pleading.

This means that the Queen Mother really treats them as her own family.

Between your own family members, just convey the meaning.

Just because he's proficient in power doesn't mean he doesn't have any feelings.

So he stopped talking, and the old master of Qin took over the conversation and said slowly: "Although it is a co-marriage, there is always a distinction, otherwise there will be two doors, how can the family house be safe, and how will the heirs inherit it?" ”

In front of the Queen Mother, he restrained his words and did not say anything about his concubine.

Old Minister Su also calmly waited for Concubine De's reply, which was indeed the top priority.

Concubine De smiled and said: "Since they are all wives, they are naturally sisters-in-law." As for the back house in the house, the Su family is in politics, the Qin family is in business, the Su family Dongting Pearl is known for its ability to make decisions, and the Qin family Jingqionghua operates the Mingyu Building, which is praised by the world, one person is in charge of family affairs, and one person is in charge of the family's financial power. As for inheritance, it depends on their respective bellies, and they can go back to their parents' homes to inherit the family business, how can they have a good future. ”

She has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and finally figured out a self-conscious truth.

Old Xianggong Su and Old Master Qin were silent.

Concubine De smiled and said: "If the two princes agree, Your Majesty will personally decree the marriage, and the mourning family has invited Tu Shan Sanjie to give the wedding gift, and the Ministry of Rites will handle it, so as not to insult the two noble daughters." ”

As soon as these words came out, especially the name of Tu Shan Sanjie, the two old men were not easy to pretend.

"The old minister is willing to follow the orders of the mother."

——

In the afternoon of the same day, two pieces of news spread throughout Zhongjing City one after another.

First of all, the Queen Mother found out that she was pregnant and had the posthumous son of the first emperor.

Then His Majesty personally gave the marriage, and the Ministry of Rites chose a good day and an auspicious day to hold the wedding.

Coupled with tomorrow's celebration ceremony, the entire Zhongjing City was completely ignited by these three joys.

With the celebration of the night, in the early winter of the twenty-fourth year of Chongning in Great Xia, a celebration ceremony announced the complete establishment of the new power and new pattern of the court.

Here it comes!

This huge turmoil that provoked the drastic changes in the entire Great Xia Dynasty and the change of the throne itself is about to come to an end after this ceremony. (End of chapter)
