Chapter 167. Dominate

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, and it took a while to react: "It turns out that you killed Ankang for this." Her heart sank all the way, "Ankang is gone, the concubine washes her face with tears all day long, and now she is delirious, even if she still has a prince under her knees, even if her mother's family is prosperous, she can't pose any threat to you." ”

The queen put on a smiling face and persuaded: "Huang Eniang, so no matter how angry you are, you can't not fulfill your concubines, but also fulfill yourself." ”

"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother was so angry that her fingertips were trembling, "You can now be regarded as a stand-alone and dominate the palace." ”

"Naturally, thank you for the hard work and careful protection of the imperial mother over the years, and the concubines are grateful." The queen bowed deeply, and then said worriedly, "When the emperor is seriously ill for a long time, there is really no need to worry about the concubines, it is important to take care of the illness, so as not to be suspicious again, it is because of Long Keduo that the emperor's phoenix body is sick." ”

The Queen Mother was extremely angry, but she just closed her eyes and endured her tears, and kept nodding: "You are really becoming more and more like a queen, the mourning family hopes that you can sit firmly in the queen's seat, but I want to tell you," the Queen Mother turned her eyes to look at the queen, and seriously persuaded her for the last time, "You must leave room for life and work, and you will cut off your own way of doing everything." ”

"Thank you for your teaching." The queen's eyes were full of ridicule, "With the emperor's mother as an example, the concubines will definitely be able to come out of the blue, and the emperor's mother will be at ease." After speaking, she got up and retired, "If there is nothing to do, then the concubine will retire first." ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and didn't want to look at her again, and only after she left did she open her eyes and laugh self-deprecatingly: "Zhuxi, look, the child taught by the Mourning family." She seemed to remember the past, "Chunyuan is too soft-hearted, Yixiu is too ruthless, and the mourning family ......" can't do anything.

"Queen Mother, you have to pay more attention to your body." Zhu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to ease the Queen Mother, and it took a while for the Queen Mother to stop coughing.

"It's not that the mourning family doesn't pay attention to their bodies, but they are afraid that if Yixiu continues like this, the Wulanala clan and the Wuya clan will be lost in her hands." The Queen Mother gasped and said intermittently, "The mourning family doesn't want the Empress of the Qing Dynasty to be in her own family all the time, but if there is no one in the palace to compete with her, her viciousness will definitely force herself to death and all the heirs of Aixin Jueluo." She stretched out her hand and grabbed the bamboo breath, "Tomorrow, you go to see the concubine in person, and if she is still clear, please ask her to come over." ”

Zhu Xi lowered his head and answered the order.

In the afternoon of the next day, An Lingrong came to Shoukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother: "The concubine asks the Queen Mother for peace, and I wish the Queen Mother a long and prosperous life." ”

"The concubine looks much better today, have you slept and eaten well lately?" The Queen Mother beckoned her to sit down next to her, took her hand and asked gently, seeing that she looked fine, she thought she was fine for a while, "Why didn't Honghao bring it with you?" The mourning family hadn't seen him for a few days. ”

An Lingrong's eyes were straight, and he was stunned for a long time before he looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously: "Who is Honghao?" ”

The Queen Mother pursed the corners of her mouth, looked up at Dill and Zhao Xuan behind her, and saw that they just shook their heads and sighed, and their hearts cooled inch by inch. She looked at An Lingrong and said slowly: "In the past two years, I have worked hard for you, concubine, you have done a good job." ”

Over the years, the six palaces have been divided into two forces, An Lingrong and the queen are evenly matched, containing and balancing each other, and the harem has been able to be peaceful and worry-free, so the queen mother has more appreciation for An Lingrong, but after all, it can't be counted on. The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, thinking about who to help to take the throne to fight against the queen.

Concubine Hui is passive and avoids favor, Concubine Duan has been sick for a long time, and Concubine Jing is too gentle, so she is not the queen's opponent.

"The Queen Mother has been sick for so many days, the emperor is worried, and recently he often goes out of the palace to Ganlu Temple to pray for incense, pray for the Queen Mother, filial piety touches the heavens, and the Queen Mother's illness will definitely get better soon." An Lingrong seemed to mention it unintentionally.

"The emperor has a heart." The Queen Mother said lightly, but she didn't pay much attention.

An Lingrong didn't say much, and instead talked about the side: "When I got up in the morning, I seemed to hear who was reading. The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in the people, in the perfection, after knowing the family, after the family can be quiet, after the quiet family can be safe, after the family can be safe, after the family can be considered, after the family can be obtained. Things have a beginning and an end, and if you know the order, you will be the shortest...... I read the opening chapter of "University". She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at the Queen Mother, "The third elder brother has already passed the age of the weak crown, but the concubine is strange, why are you still reading this?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "That's the fourth elder brother, he has been crowned for two years, and he has not been formally taught, and when he cried for Ankang, he also rushed over from the Old Summer Palace. After all, he is also the heir of the Aixin Jueluo family, so he can't be blind, follow the master and learn hard, and he can understand some truths. ”

"It turned out to be the fourth elder brother." An Lingrong's eyebrows moved, and he sighed softly, "There are so many motherless children in this palace, and the fourth elder brother is also pitiful, it is difficult for him to be willing to endure hardships and work hard, if only Honghao, the concubine, could work as hard as him in the future." ”

Dill's face changed slightly, but soon returned to its original state, Zhao Xuan saw this, patted her hand and comforted her silently.

An Lingrong also occasionally has good times, but only unintentionally, just like a person's subconscious reaction, some words will blurt out, and some things will be done according to the trend, but when he really thinks about it, he doesn't remember anything.

The Queen Mother also noticed this, looked at An Lingrong with pity and love, and talked about homely gossip again.

At that time, the queen was talking to the third elder brother in the elder brother's office, and suddenly heard the sound of reading aloud outside the door, she got up and walked to the door to take a look, and saw that the fourth elder brother was still studying hard after school, and raised three points of vigilance in her heart: "Jian Qiu, who will take care of the fourth elder brother now?" ”

"It's a few nannies and grandmothers from the Old Summer Palace." Jian Qiu replied with a smile.

"Did the emperor come to see the fourth elder brother?" The queen asked again.

"Unless the emperor asks about homework, he never mentions it." Jian Qiu's tone was a little proud.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, she already had a consideration in her heart, she turned her head to look at the third elder brother: "The fourth elder brother is studying with you, what do you think of his grades?" ”

The third elder brother first said to the point: "The master always said that the fourth brother was enlightened late, but he was talented, so he learned quickly." Then there was a look of pride on his face, and he continued, "The fourth brother is diligent, but he is enlightened late, and he has not learned many things, so he is not as good as Erchen." ”

The queen didn't think so, she squinted at the fourth elder brother in the courtyard, and her face slowly turned cold: "It's not comparable now, but he still studies so hard after school, but he is much more attentive than you." She glanced at the third elder brother, and hated that iron could not become steel, but then she smiled again, "Such a hard-working child, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not succeed in the future." ”

But in this palace, there is no need for an elder brother who has become a big weapon except for the third elder brother. The queen gritted her back molars, her eyes full of frost.

Under the New Year's Holiday, the emperor went out of the palace more and more frequently, and finally, the night before Chinese New Year's Eve, good news came from outside the palace.

"Imperial Physician Wen said that Huan'er is pregnant and will be able to return to the palace soon." Shen Meizhuang came to talk to An Lingrong as usual, and didn't expect her to have any response, and said to himself, "I look forward to her coming back, but I'm afraid of her coming back, Su Peisheng said that the emperor and Huan'er have affection for each other, so everything fell into place after they met, and it was very smooth, but I always felt uneasy......

"King Guojun, do you know about this?" An Lingrong looked at the plum blossoms that had been bent by the snow outside the window, and said coldly.

Shen Meizhuang stopped the embroidery in his hand and glanced at An Lingrong with some surprise: "What does this have to do with King Guojun?" But An Lingrong was silent again, and she thought she was having auditory hallucinations.

However, when it came to King Guojun, Shen Meizhuang remembered something: "I heard that King Guojun was missing, and the emperor sent people to look for him along the road, but only found an unrecognizable corpse, and the emperor was sad for several days, but for the sake of the court situation, he finally decided not to mourn." I also heard this by chance from others, and it's a pity, King Guojun is so young and doesn't have any children, so this vein is broken. ”

King Guojun is dead?

An Lingrong blinked his eyes slightly, and his mind suddenly became clear: "Since Sister Zhen wants to return to the palace, then this matter must be done quickly, before the news leaks to the queen, we must settle the matter." ”

It turns out that this is the reason why Zhen Huan returned to the palace, so is the child she is pregnant with the emperor or the king of Guojun?

In Lingyun Peak, Zhen Huan was letting Liuzhu wrap his waist with raw silk.

"Miss, will the silk bundle hurt the fetus?" Although Liuzhu's hands kept moving, his eyes were full of sorrow and worry.

"Probably not." Zhen Huan raised her hand to cooperate with Liuzhu's movements, panting lowly, "Imperial Doctor Wen said, Emperor Han Ling's Wang Meiren didn't dare to say anything because she was afraid of Empress He's might, and she didn't dare to say anything when she was pregnant, and she hid her abdomen every day until she gave birth, not to mention, I only need to bundle it for two or three months a day, and I don't have to tie it too tightly." ”

Liuzhu put on Zhen Huan's coat, tidied up her hair, and said softly: "Imperial Doctor Wen also prescribed a lot of fetal strengthening drugs, Jinxi has already gone to boil, wait for Miss Xia to drink before going to sleep." She glanced at Zhen Huan's appearance after getting dressed, and said with a smile, "Miss is really about the same as more than a month when she wears this wide dress!" ”

"Three months ago, I wouldn't have been pregnant much, but in a few days, four months of belly and two months will be different." Zhen Huan spit out the turbidity accumulated in her chest, and her expression was indifferent, "As long as the emperor is not close to me, he can hide from the world." ”

She looked up at the window, and in that direction it was the Imperial City.

As the night was about to get dark, Shen Meizhuang said goodbye to An Lingrong and went to Shoukang Palace to serve the Queen Mother as usual. Sister Mei, this matter should not be delayed, and while the queen has not reacted yet, she has to quickly stab this matter in front of the queen mother. ”

She stared at her for a moment and walked slowly into the queen mother's bedroom.

"I drink medicine all day long, and my tongue is numb when I drink it." The Queen Mother turned her head and waved her hand to signal that she would not drink.

Shen Meizhuang coaxed her like a child, and said with a smile on her face: "The Queen Mother is becoming more and more childish now, how can the medicine say that if you don't drink it, you won't drink it?" The concubine told the queen mother a happy event, and the queen mother was happy to hear it, so she didn't care about the bitterness of drinking medicine. She approached the Queen Mother and whispered, "Heaven favors me, and then Lin'er will descend on me in the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother's face turned bright, and she hurriedly asked who was pregnant.

Shen Meizhuang raised the medicine bowl in his hand and smiled at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "You little slippery head, don't be a mourner." She took the medicine bowl and slowly drank it down, "Okay, now you can talk?" ”

"The emperor has been going to Ganlu Temple to pray for blessings recently, I heard that Mo Chou is sick, so he often goes to visit, the two of them are not in love, and they will rebuild the old good when they come and go, and now, Mo Chou has been pregnant for more than a month, counting the days, it is the day when the emperor first went there, isn't it a good fortune?"

Shen Meizhuang had a smile on her face, but she was a little worried in her heart, seeing the Queen Mother's face gradually sinking, she put away the last note and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, Mo Chou left the palace willfully, because she was too stubborn, and two years of practice smoothed out her edges and corners, she must have known that she was wrong." ”

From here on, the plot of the original drama version will gradually increase
