Chapter 64: Heirs
Shen Qingjiao pretended to be calm, and met the Queen Mother's cold gaze head-on, she said: "The Queen Mother's words, the concubine doesn't understand very well, even if the Virtuous Concubine is favored, but no matter how arrogant she is, if the Empress Dowager can discipline the Virtuous Concubine Niangniang, then the Virtuous Concubine Niangniang is afraid that she will also be restrained, as for this majesty?" Concubines are stupid. β
"You're not stupid. I just don't dare to say it. The Queen Mother sneered: "If Concubine Xian really knows how to respect the queen, then she should also know how important the eldest son is to the queen, the mourning family has not mentioned this matter to the concubine, the concubine in the open and secretly just pretending not to understand, she is looking forward to the heir, the mourning family knows, but which concubine in the palace is not looking forward to the heir?" The mourning family just wants you to wait longer, and when the queen gives birth to the eldest son who is rightfully promising, the mourning family naturally hopes that the heirs of the harem will multiply. You don't understand, how important the eldest son is to Zhongchen, to the saint, and to the world, and the mourning family is also well-intentioned. β
"But Concubine Xian, she not only disregarded the thoughts of the mourning family, but also tried every means to give birth to the eldest son before the queen, what is the use? is only the eldest son, and it will only occupy the name of the eldest son, and the rest is of no use at all. So much thought has been spent in front of the mourning family, and there is another one, how can the mourning family tolerate it? β
Again?
Shen Qingjiao's heart was sharp, she quickly glanced at the Queen Mother's expression, probably in extreme displeasure, the Queen Mother didn't find out that she was speechless, she continued: "The mourning family asked you to drink that decoction before, presumably you know what it is, and the mourning family doesn't have to hide it from you." Originally, the mourning family thought that you are now less graceful, and you are still a nobleman, even if you give birth to a child, you may not be raised by your side, but the mourning family now thinks that if you can do something for the mourning family, when the queen is pregnant with a dragon, the mourning family should give you a reward, and immediately stop your medicine, even if you give birth to a child, before you reach the third grade, the mourning family will let you raise the child by yourself. How is it? β
The only phoenix with jade tassel hairpin in the center of the queen mother's bun, with the queen mother's body leaning forward, the red jade beads flashed a dazzling and sharp light in the warm sunshine, among which the red Yinyin light is particularly eye-catching, it is like a dagger quenched with poisonous wine suddenly out of the sheath, and it is not wrong to want to cut people's lives.
But Shen Qingjiao didn't want to be this knife wielder, and he was afraid of being hurt by the dropping poison on the tip of the knife. πΌ.ππ Ύπ³ππ.π²ππ
She pretended not to understand and said: "The concubine doesn't know what the queen mother means, as for the medicine that the queen mother said, the concubine knows that the queen mother is for the good of the concubine." And the concubine is up to the queen mother to decide whether she can have children, and the concubine has no complaints. β
The Queen Mother didn't expect Shen Qingjiao to refuse the words that she could have an heir, she looked at Shen Qingjiao's expression carefully, except for uneasiness and confusion, there was indeed no struggle, it seems that the heir is not a temptation for Shen Qingjiao, but the Queen Mother can't allow Shen Qingjiao to refuse.
"The mourning family may not be clear enough, the mourning family means that as long as you can do this, you can give you whatever the mourning family wants, since you don't care about the heirs, then the concubine or concubine mourning family can also agree." The Queen Mother simply spread out her words in front of Shen Qingjiao and said, "As for what the mourning family wants you to do, it's very simple. You also know that the child in Concubine Xian's womb has been almost six months old, but the Mourning family got bad news, and the medical officer Zhang told the Wai family that Concubine Xian was six months pregnant, but she still had fetal gas from time to time, which proves that the child in Concubine Xian's womb is frail and sickly, and even if she is born, she can't survive for long. Medicine, the mourning family has prepared it for you, and after the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, let Concubine Xian have a miscarriage. β
"Think about you, think about the people around you, and don't think about refusing to mourn."
Shen Qingjiao stepped out of the inner hall, his face instantly dripping gloomily, and Honeysuckle came from the corner of the corridor, and couldn't help asking, "Little master, what's wrong with you?" But what happened? Little lord, your face is ugly? β
Shen Qingjiao saw Sanshuang coming over, and slowly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's nothing, the Queen Mother just chatted with me, the hour is almost up, go back quickly." β
"Hey." When Honeysuckle saw Shen Qingjiao smiling and smiling, he knew that it was not good, and the scattered frost who greeted him smiled, and the master and servant immediately left the Ci'an Palace.
On the way back, a few dark clouds rolled in the sky in the distance, and after a while, the heaven and earth were covered down, and the wind that rose from the flat ground blew so that people couldn't open their eyes, and the skirt danced wildly, and the honeysuckle blocked the wind and walked in front of Shen Qingjiao, and Shen Qingjiao saw half of the honeysuckle from the wind.
Honeysuckle is the only person in this palace who thinks about her, and it is also when Shen Qingjiao is the most helpless, Honeysuckle can choose her regardless of the side, such a good Honeysuckle, how can the Queen Mother take her to threaten herself.
Shen Qingjiao hated the Queen Mother, hated the indifferent and cannibalistic harem, and hated that she couldn't protect the people around her, and she was coerced again and again and couldn't do anything.
