After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 237
With the imperial decree, Xiao Jingheng's status as a prince can be regarded as cleared.Many people thought that he would be crowned prince soon, only one person didn't think so, and that was Empress Chen who stayed behind closed doors in Weiyang Palace all day long, concentrating on taking care of Shangguan Luan.

Empress Chen, who was still immersed in grief, seemed to have pinned all her hopes on Shangguan Luan's stomach. She took care of everything around Shangguan Luan herself. As long as it was eaten and used by Shangguan Luan, she would trust the imperial doctor to examine it. Don't worry.

Being taken care of so carefully, Shangguan Luan's fetus is of course very stable. She has been pregnant for more than five months, but her appetite is still not very good. Although the baby in her stomach is healthy, her stomach looks unusual pregnant women are smaller.

This smaller belly almost grabbed all of Empress Chen's attention. She asked Weiyang Palace's small kitchen to cook food for Shangguan Luan in different ways, but she didn't dare to force Shangguan Luan to eat too much, for fear of backfire.

Being so careful, Empress Chen had almost no time for him. Even when she heard that the emperor had really agreed to let Concubine Lin be Xiao Jingheng's adoptive mother, she just sneered and turned to staring at Shangguan Luan's soup.

Empress Chen is not the only sad mother in the harem. Compared with Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine Li, Empress Chen is obviously considered lucky. Fortunately, she has an unborn grandson as her sustenance.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Lin Gui, who was doing well, was already in her heart like a shattered porcelain vase, as if her chest was pierced with pain even when she breathed.She forced herself to smile happily during the day, not daring to show the slightest sign of fatigue, but at night, she shed tears every night, mourning her dead child alone.

As the adoptive mother of the new prince, she doesn't even have the right to be bedridden like Concubine Li, wantonly expressing her pain of losing a child.She must, according to Lin Taiwei's request, be a "loving mother" for another child.

But her adopted son, who replaced her dead child, had the opportunity to return to the palace and stand in front of her!Everything that Xiao Jingheng has now was bought at the price of her son's life!How could Concubine Lin Gui not hate this? !

But she didn't dare to hate.She also has no right to hate.

Because she knew very well that the emperor agreed to her to be the adoptive mother of the new prince, not only to give her a chance, but also to give her a warning to the Lin family.

"Think about it." Mrs. Taiwei held her daughter's hand, with a little distress in her eyes: "The emperor agreed to you to be the adoptive mother of the prince. This is a happy event, and it is also the last chance for our Lin family. You have to seize it." , can't be emotional!"

"I know." Concubine Lin Gui smiled. There was a smile on her face, but there were strings of tears rolling down her eyes.

"Don't think too much, treat him as your own, and you won't complain so much." Mrs. Taiwei sighed, and continued to persuade: "With him, you will be counted on in the palace in the future. He will be on board in the future." Liao Ji, you are a ready-made empress dowager, which is a great thing, so, promise mother, try to be nice to him."

"Okay!" When Concubine Lin Gui answered, she couldn't help but choked up slightly.Mrs. Taiwei took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears with her own hands, then said to her back: "Fix up your makeup, Your Highness will come to pay your respects to Your Highness later, please don't let His Highness see anything."

"Yes!" Concubine Lin's personal maid hurriedly took out the rouge, ready to touch up Concubine Lin's makeup again.

"And you," Mrs. Taiwei sat aside, telling her worriedly: "Your Highness will come later, you have to be careful and wait on you."

"Madam, don't worry," Concubine Lin's confidant maid quickly replied, "Slaves don't have to worry about it. Your Highness will be our mother's son from now on, and servants know the importance."

When Xiao Jingheng came to pay his respects, Concubine Lin Guifei had already finished her makeup and was still as radiant as before, while Mrs. Taiwei, who was over 60 years old, was sitting aside, with a kind smile on her face, watching Xiao Jingheng greet her daughter, Like a real grandmother.

Of course Xiao Jingheng was very clever, and he didn't need anyone to remind him. After greeting Concubine Lin Gui, he turned around and took the initiative to salute Mrs. Taiwei, saying "grandmother" to make the old lady smile.

Heh... Xiao Jingheng looked at Mrs. Taiwei who couldn't hide her complacency, and couldn't help but want to see how Mrs. Su would feel when she saw this scene.

I really can't wait to see these two old ladies get together!Xiao Jingheng decided that after his family Jing'er entered the palace, he must find an opportunity for Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lin to get together so that Jing'er could enjoy the excitement.

Mrs. Lin Taiwei didn't know that Xiao Jingheng was making a fuss, she only knew that this cheap grandson was good-looking, gentle and polite, he was also very clever, he gave her face very much, and it seemed that he also wanted to get in touch with the Lin family on purpose , Not bad, it really makes people more and more satisfied.

With such a clever prince as an adopted son, her daughter's future is guaranteed.

Empress Chen is now guarding Princess Cheng carefully, so what if she is more careful?It should be useless to be born.There is a ready-made shrewd prince, the emperor will not consider others.

But well!It's better to be on guard, the one from Weiyang Palace can do anything.

Mrs. Lin Taiwei immediately decided to remind her daughter to be more careful before leaving, lest Empress Chen would harm her new grandson.

It was the first time for Xiao Jingheng to pay respects to Concubine Lin's palace, and he didn't stay long. He quickly excused himself to go to school at the right time, took his leave and left.

After he left, Concubine Lin Gui breathed a sigh of relief.She didn't really want to see her new son, but helplessly, she had to get used to it.

Xiao Jingheng didn't care.It is not a troublesome thing for him to pay more attention to Concubine Lin every day, and with Concubine Lin, he has an extra layer of protection in the palace. This matter is beneficial and harmless. We have to weigh first whether we can bypass Concubine Lin Gui.

Therefore, after coming out of Concubine Lin's palace, Xiao Jingheng was in a very good mood. He went directly to Mingyi Hall to prepare for martial arts practice. Unexpectedly, He Lingjun, who had entered the palace early, was already waiting for him in Mingyi Hall.

"It's so early, cousin." Xiao Jingheng smiled when he saw He Lingjun.

"Morning, Your Highness," He Lingjun smiled and cupped his hands at Xiao Jingheng, and then replied: "Of course it's early. It's not good to be late to accompany you on the first day. From now on, I will enter the palace every morning to accompany you to practice martial arts and study." .”

"Do you want to accompany you when practicing martial arts?" Xiao Jingheng sighed with a smile: "Master Qin is very strict, I'm afraid my cousin will suffer a lot."

"Hey!" He Lingjun also sighed heavily: "I didn't like to practice martial arts when I was young, and I was lazy on weekdays, and my father always turned a blind eye. If I had known today, I should have worked harder when I was young."

　——Here is the dividing line of Concubine Lin——
　　Who is better than a woman under the patriarchal system?So what about the high-ranking concubines on the surface, as resources and tools in the hands of men and families, their personality and self-esteem have been brutally buried. They are like inconspicuous parts in a huge machine, under tremendous pressure, but unable to To escape the fate of being completely exploited.
