Chapter 318 13500+ words 【The Finale】
Since she was promoted to Concubine Chun and moved to Yilan Palace, there were about twenty more servants in the courtyard.
Chun Xing and Chun Tao, as first-class maids, were responsible for serving her personally, while the rest of the servants performed their duties.
"Okay, servant girl will remember." Chun Xing nodded cautiously.
Under Jiang Shishi's order, Chun Xing and Chun Tao found out in the kitchen that night, and they came to the inner room with a maid in their hands.
Chun Xing: "My lord, you really guessed it right. Today, after the Lan Xiang boiled the medicine for you, the servant girl asked her to take out the medicine dregs, and she began to hesitate, saying that the medicine dregs were poured out. The servant girl asked her where she poured the medicine dregs, but she couldn't tell where."
"In the end, the servant girl and Chuntao led people to search the bedroom for a long time before they found a pot of medicine dregs under her bed. It was estimated that they were going to throw it away secretly, and the servant girl checked it. Those medicine residues are not for regulating the spleen and stomach at all. , but the medicine that Miss Qingdai gave you to regulate your body!"
"Apart from changing the bag when you boiled the medicine today, did you change the bag before?" Jiang Shishi asked the maid named Lan Xiang.
"The maidservant has never changed the medicinal materials, even today. It is not intentional, but accidentally took the wrong medicine bag." Lan Xiang argued.
Chun Xing: "I found medicine dregs under your bed, how dare you argue?!"
Chuntao: "You said you took the wrong medicine by accident, so why didn't you tell us? Or boiled a new pack of medicine? Why did you refuse to hand over the medicine residue when we asked you to hand it over? You didn't Did you say that the medicine dregs have been dumped long ago? Why are they hidden under your bed?"
Lan Xiang couldn't answer several questions in a row.
"It seems that you won't cry when you see the coffin." Jiang Shishi was already unwell and was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lan Xiang, "Chun Xing, Chun Tao, you take her down, you have to pry her mouth open no matter what, and ask the truth .”
"Yes." After Chun Xing agreed, she and Chun Tao forked Lan Xiang out.
Chun Xing and Chun Tao have been in the palace for many years, and they have naturally learned a lot about those torture methods.
Na Lanxiang was just an ordinary court lady, she couldn't stand the torture, but she was tortured overnight, so she recruited everything.
The next morning, when Chun Xing waited for Jiang Shishi to get up, she said to Jiang Shishi, "Master, it was Lan Xiang who was bought by Lu Meiren. Then Lu Meiren gave Lan Xiang a golden hairpin, and encouraged Lan Xiang to give you a medicine package."
"Lu Meiren also told Lan Xiang that your health is not good, and the emperor once said that he did not intend to have a child in your womb. Even if something happened to you, it would not be discovered, and the emperor would not blame it. "
Jiang Shishi knew long ago that Lu Meiren was just like her father, Lu Darong, and was not a good person.
I never thought that a little beauty would dare to bribe the maid in her yard and murder the child in her womb. I am really tired of work!
"Ouch~" Jiang Shishi just gargled with peppermint water and retched for a while.
After suffering for a while, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked, "Did you find all the three packets of medicine?"
She was afraid that some of the three packs of medicine had entered her stomach.
Chun Xing: "As for the three packs of medicine, Lan Xiang also recruited them all. She hid two packs under the bed, and one pack is the dregs of the pack of medicine she boiled for you last night. The total is exactly three packs."
Chuntao: "Your Majesty, thank you for letting us clean up the medicine bags in the warehouse yesterday, and Na Lanxiang was just about to do it last night, otherwise, if we were a step late, the consequences would be disastrous."
After washing up, Jiang Shishi reluctantly ate a white flour steamed bun, and ordered in a deep voice: "Chun Xing, go and bring Lu Meiren to Ben Gong."
After about a stick of incense, Jiang Shishi held Mrs. Tang to read the account book in the inner room, and Chun Xing brought Beauty Lu into the inner room.
"Blessed Concubine Chun." As soon as she entered the room, Beauty Lu bowed to Jiang Shishi.
This Jiang Shishi, who is wearing a mint-colored jacket and dresses, is imitated. She looks [-] to [-]% similar to Jiang Shishi.
If people who don't know look at it, they really think they are sisters.
"." Jiang Shishi didn't raise her head, and didn't cry out.
Lu Meiren didn't dare to get up, but she was too tired to bend her knees, so she simply knelt down to Jiang Shishi, "I don't know why your mother called me here today?"
"Why did I call you here? I think you know better than Bengong." Jiang Shishi lowered her head, flipping through the ledger casually.
"." Lu Meiren lowered her head, "I don't know what your mother is talking about."
"Lu Meiren, don't put on an air here!" Chun Xing snorted coldly, "Yesterday, Lan Xiang was already recruited, and you bought her, and asked her to replace the medicine used by Empress Chun to regulate the spleen and stomach with one that can cause abortion This is Lan Xianghua's confession!"
After speaking, Chun Xing threw the confession in front of Lu Meiren.
Lu Meiren picked up the rice paper on the ground and took a glance at it, "Then Lan Xiang is a maid of the Yilan Palace, so of course she will help you to give false testimony."
Chun Tao: "This is a fact, so why do we need to give false testimony? Besides, why do we need Lan Xiang to give false testimony?"
"Since Concubine Chun's concubine was pregnant, the emperor has visited me the most, so she is jealous of me being favored and wants to harm me!" After saying that, Beauty Lu threw the rice paper into the charcoal basin beside her.
Immediately, the rice paper representing the evidence was burned to ashes.
"You just burn it." Chun Xing said disdainfully: "My young master knows you are despicable, and has been on guard against you for a long time. Lan Xiang has drawn three testimonies in total, one in the hands of the concubine Chun and one in the emperor's place." , and there is another copy in the concubine Xian's place. As for the copy you burned... it's just a draft of the record of honor."
Chuntao: "Lu Meiren, now that there are witnesses and material evidence, no matter how much you argue, it's useless."
"." Hearing this, Lu Meiren finally couldn't calm down anymore, with a look of panic on her face.
After a short period of panic, Lu Meiren stared at Jiang Shishi jealously: "So what if I bribed Lan Xiang to cause your miscarriage? I just can't understand the way you dote on the harem!"
"Obviously Dongliang Kingdom regards thinness as beauty, but you can be favored by being fat, but I tried my best to imitate you, and I dressed myself like you from the beginning to the end. I became no longer like myself. The mirror almost doesn't know who it is, but it can never take your place in the emperor's heart, and it can never conceive an heir."
Chun Xing: "It's not the concubine Chun who forced you, it's you who insist on imitating the empress, the empress is generous and doesn't care about you, but you feel resentful, it's like a slap in the face!"
"." Lu Meiren couldn't listen to Chun Xing's words at all, she thought that everything she did was caused by Concubine Chun!
Lu Meiren said to Jiang Shishi: "And my father, if you hadn't dropped the weapon artwork when you were exercising in Shiyue Pavilion, my father would not have been beheaded, and I would not have lost my father and my mother's backing." , is still a beauty!"
Chun Xing rolled her eyes angrily at Lu Meiren's words, "You figured it out, you picked things up and didn't return them, that's called stealing!"
"That's right!" Chuntao echoed, "And your father, who plagiarized my little master's artwork, even if he was demoted or beheaded, that's his own fault. You father and daughter can't blame others, if you want to blame, blame yourselves for being unrighteous!"
Chun Xing: "Besides, you were just a beauty when you entered the palace. Where did you get your backing? Your father was only a petty official in the Ministry of Industry for many years. If it wasn't for plagiarizing my young master's drawings, he was promoted to an official position." Son"
"Okay." Jiang Shishi stopped Chun Xing and Chun Tao, "You two are too, she just made it clear that she is being unreasonable, what reason can she have with such an unreasonable person?"
Hearing this, Chun Xing and Chun Tao shut up one after another.
"It's really noisy, it's making me feel sore." Jiang Shishi rubbed her temples with her middle finger, "You two just take Lu Meiren out, and hand over her, other witnesses, and physical evidence to Concubine Xian, and say that Bengong is not feeling well. Just let Concubine Xian deal with her according to the palace rules."
If she hadn't discovered it in time this time, Meiren Lu's trick might have succeeded.
And if she drank the packaged medicine, the child in her stomach would probably be gone.
As for Lu Meiren's murder of the emperor's heir, if she remembers correctly, she must be executed according to the palace rules.
It's just that she is pregnant after all, this kind of thing should not be handled in Yilan Temple.
Now that she is unwell, and the harem has been managed by Concubine Xian, it would be best to let Concubine Xian take care of it.
Chun Xing and Chun Tao answered "Yes" in unison.
"." Hearing that Jiang Shishi was going to hand her over to Concubine Xian, Beauty Lu knew that she would die.
Then, Lu Meiren, who was kneeling, suddenly stood up, her sweet and lovely face became hateful, she stared at Jiang Shishi fiercely, and was about to bump her head into Jiang Shishi's stomach, "Mr. Jiang! Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go." !"
Fortunately, Chun Xing and Chun Tao responded in a timely manner, before Meiren Lu bumped into Jiang Shishi, she was kicked out by Chun Xing and Chun Tao.
On weekdays, this beauty Lu imitated the concubine Chun everywhere, and the two of them had been unhappy with beauty Lu for a long time, and now they couldn't even mention how happy they were.
On the same day, the court lady who made the medicine was killed with a stick in the Palace of Concubine Xian.
As for Lu Meiren, Concubine Xian gave a piece of white silk to kill herself according to the palace rules, and the servants directly threw the body to the mass grave in the back mountain.
**
After October, the painful morning sickness continued to torment Jiang Shishi daily.
Xu Shitai's medicine started to take effect. After drinking the herbal medicine for regulating the spleen and stomach for a while, he vomited, but his stomach didn't bleed.
It is disgusting to smell all kinds of smells. Her sense of smell not only rejects the smell of oily smoke and food, but also the smell of flowers, rouge powder, and saponins.
Even when the emperor approached her, she used to think that the faint ambergris on the other party's body smelled strange, but now just smelling it makes her sick.
It is said that as the months get older, this reaction will gradually reduce to disappear.
Therefore, Jiang Shishi is looking forward to that day.
However, until the first month of the first year of Shunde, Jiang Shishi's situation still did not improve.
Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can't eat anything when faced with a table of delicious dishes.
This kind of life that feels like years makes Jiang Shishi feel very desperate, and doesn't know when she will be tall.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital diagnosed a happy event for her.
At this time, she was already four months pregnant, and the imperial hospital diagnosed that she was pregnant with twins, so it was no wonder that her reaction was bigger than that of ordinary women.
As for gender, you don't know until you're born.
In this way, no matter how hard Jiang Shishi worked, it was worth it.
In this way, at the end of the first month, Jiang Shishi's appetite suddenly improved.
She used to only eat half a bowl of rice per meal, but now she eats three bowls of rice per meal.
However, this good appetite also has its disadvantages. Jiang Shishi gained five catties in a month!
The belly is also getting bigger day by day, and the twins she is pregnant with are bigger than the belly of ordinary pregnant women.
Therefore, the doctor at the Imperial Hospital reminded her, saying that if this continues, the nutrition of the fetus will be sufficient, and I am afraid that Concubine Chun will have a hard time giving birth.
Under normal circumstances, most men in the dynasty only care about the children in their stomachs, and don't care about whether women live or die.
Anyway, children are rare, especially twins, which need nutrition even more. As for women, there are plenty of them!
But Pei Xuanling was different. I was afraid that Jiang Shishi would have to work too hard during childbirth.
After learning about this, he ordered the servant of Yilan Temple to supervise Jiang Shishi, and only allowed him to eat one bowl of rice, one bowl of soup, and a moderate amount of fruits and vegetables for each meal.
On the evening of the sixth day of February, after finishing his business, Pei Xuanling went to the Yilan Hall to inspect the post.
It was snowing heavily outside, and it was freezing cold. He didn't want the woman to come out to greet her pregnant, so he didn't sing the newspaper, and let someone push the door into the hall.
As soon as I entered the room, I could smell the aroma of food floating in the hall, and I saw a table of meals on the table of the Eight Immortals.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Shishi stood up and was about to salute.
Before the woman saluted, Pei Xuanling raised his hand and made a gesture of "Excuse me", "You eat yours."
Jiang Shishi said "Oh" and continued to sit down to eat.
Huang Dechang swept the snow off the emperor with Buddha dust, helped the emperor take off his cloak, and waited for the emperor to clean his hands.
Then, Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi sat face to face at the Eight Immortals table.
When Huang Dechang helped him serve the meal, he glanced at the woman opposite, who was eating the meal with a big appetite.
Seeing that the woman had a good appetite, the corners of Pei Xuanling's mouth rose slightly.
It's just that when his eyes fell on the big bowl placed in front of the woman, the smile on Pei Xuanling's mouth gradually disappeared.
It's not that he didn't see the sea bowl in front of the woman before, he thought it was a soup bowl, so this is her rice bowl?
Seeing this, Pei Xuanling glanced sharply at the servants in the room, "I asked you to supervise Concubine Chun, and only let you eat one bowl of rice for each meal. Is this how you supervise?"
Hearing this, all the servants in the room knelt down tremblingly, and the whole hall instantly became silent.
"Your majesty, you are the one who said that the concubines can only eat one bowl of rice per meal. They have supervised the concubines well, and the concubines have also listened to you well. They can only eat one bowl of rice per meal." Hai Wan, who has a big face, looks innocent.
The corner of Pei Xuanling's mouth twitched slightly, but he was speechless.
After a while, he said with a sullen face: "I don't even look at the size of your sea bowl, one bowl is worth at least three bowls of rice, or even more than three bowls!"
He asked the imperial doctor that a pregnant woman would eat a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup every meal, plus vegetables and fruits would be enough.
If you eat too much, not only the pregnant woman will gain weight, but the fetus will also be too large, which will increase the risk of dystocia!
Especially the woman in front of her is pregnant with twins, so she needs to pay more attention to this aspect.
That's why he asked people to supervise her, and she was only allowed to eat one bowl of rice per meal.
Unexpectedly, she actually changed to such a big sea bowl. It seems that it is not a bowl problem, but a human problem. What a greedy cat!
"But the concubine doesn't want to. Every time I eat less, I will be hungry in less than half an hour. Even if I eat such a big bowl of rice, I will still be hungry after an hour!"
Jiang Shishi said pitifully: "Besides, it's not that the concubines want to eat, but the children in their stomachs want to eat, or two children. This is equivalent to one person eating and three people making up."
She is so hungry recently!
"." Seeing the pitiful look of the woman, Pei Xuanling couldn't bear to say anything more, he just said to Huang Dechang: "Bring in the chicken soup that I asked to cook for Concubine Chun!"
"Yes." After Huang Dechang agreed, he went out to serve chicken soup.
Not long after, Huang Dechang came in with a casserole and placed it in the middle of the Eight Immortals table.
Jiang Shishi looked at the chicken soup that occupied the C position on the table. The chicken was golden yellow, the soup was light yellow, and there were a few bright red dates floating on it. It looked light, nutritious and delicious.
"Your Majesty, although my concubine has had fish soup just now, can I have another bowl of this chicken soup?" Jiang Shishi asked the man obediently.
From Pei Xuanling's point of view, this woman seemed well-behaved, but she was actually very cunning.
"I specially prepared this for you, of course you can drink it." Pei Xuanling was rarely able to talk: "You can also drink a bowl of chicken soup, anyway, it's just a bowl, it's within my rules."
Jiang Shishi: "." Why did she feel that there was something in this man's words?
Sure enough, the man asked, "Do you know how this chicken died?"
Jiang Shishi: "Isn't it just slaughtered by the cook?"
Pei Xuanling glanced lightly at Huang Dechang who was next to him, and heard Huang Dechang holding his whisk and saying, "Madam Chun, because this chicken is too fat and has too much fat in its body, it can't lay eggs, and it can't lay eggs smoothly to death."
Jiang Shishi: "." So, this chicken died of dystocia?
Therefore, Jiang Shishi imagined the scene of an old hen squatting in the chicken coop to lay eggs, but because she was too fat to lay eggs, she was suffocated to death.
It can be called miserable, no, forbear, and see!
Although she knew it was a trick of the emperor, she had to admit that the prince had successfully frightened her.
"I just drank fish soup, so I don't want to drink chicken soup." Not only that, Jiang Shishi also said: "By the way, the emperor, there is too much rice in the concubine's bowl, can I share some with you?"
Pei Xuanling didn't dislike it at all, and naturally handed over his job to the woman.
Jiang Shishi at least reduced half of the rice for the emperor, and, when eating, she did not dare to eat more greasy dishes on the table.
Huang Dechang, who was on the side, saw this scene and smiled as his aunt.
In order to make Concubine Chun restrain her diet, the emperor really worked hard with good intentions.
It's freezing outside now, so it's not easy to go out to digest food.
After dinner, Pei Xuanling reviewed the memorial in the inner room.
After Jiang Shishi rested for a while, she did some maternity exercises in the inner room.
When it was Haishi, the two of them washed and went to bed under the service of their servants.
Now that Jiang Shishi has a big belly, she slept on her left side as usual, but the man behind her suddenly hugged her from behind.
Moreover, the man kissed her neck from behind.
Jiang Shishi shrank her neck, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Since she was pregnant, this man has always been very well-behaved, never moving his hands and feet, at most he just kissed her on the cheek.
What's the matter today?
"I want you." The man's straight nose was pressed against the woman's snowy neck, breathing heavily.
"But the concubine is still pregnant." Jiang Shishi pushed the man, but was hugged even tighter by the man.
"I know, but I've heard people say that it doesn't matter after the first three months." The man deftly untied the woman's clothes while kissing the woman's snowy neck, "Don't be afraid, I will take it easy It hurts you."
A while ago, a woman had a severe reaction to morning sickness, and every time he approached, she would say that the ambergris on his body smelled bad.
Therefore, he specifically asked his servants not to use ambergris to fumigate his clothes.
However, even so, the woman still said that the scent on his body made her sick, and the woman's fetal position was still unstable at that time, so he hadn't been close to her for several months.
Now that she was finally willing to get close to him, and the fetal position was secured, Pei Xuanling indulged a little.
After a long time, Pei Xuanling called for water, and the two of them lay down again after scrubbing.
Pei Xuanling hugged the woman in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Shishi, I want to dismiss the harem and make you the queen."
"." Jiang Shishi was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open. When she heard the man's words, she suddenly opened her eyes, turned around and lay on her side facing the man, "Your Majesty, aren't you joking with my concubine?"
In her opinion, as an emperor, he can treat her wholeheartedly.
Even if you go to other concubines, it's just going through the motions with "dream-like fragrance".
This is unprecedented in Dongliang country.
Now, this man actually said that he would dismiss the palace and make her his empress.
The point is that she didn't bring it up on her own initiative, but he said it on her own initiative.
As an ancient man, his awareness is too high, right?
It is simply higher consciousness than most modern men in later generations!
"Since I told you, I must have thought it over carefully." The man looked at Jiang Shishi affectionately, and said in a deep voice, "You know, I have never favored any concubine in the harem except you. Under normal circumstances, nothing can be seen in a short period of time, but after a long time, paper cannot contain fire after all."
"In addition, when I was the crown prince, it was okay. There were not many officials who wanted to fill the East Palace. Now that I am the emperor, when the show girl election is held, it is better to designate how many people want to fill the harem. Cut off their thoughts earlier."
In fact, as early as when he ascended the throne, he thought about canonizing her as a queen.
It's just that the father had just passed away at that time, if he wanted to confer the title of empress, he had to wait until the second year, this was the rule.
It was also because the father had just passed away that the civil and military officials had no intention of stuffing people into the harem.
However, at the beginning of this year, several important ministers in the court faintly revealed the idea of stuffing their daughters, granddaughters, granddaughters, and nieces into the harem and marrying with the royal family, but he was perfunctory in a few words.
It's okay to be perfunctory once or twice, but if he is more perfunctory, if he loses patience, the ministers will inevitably have disagreements.
"How do you plan to break their thoughts?" Jiang Shishi asked curiously.
Will the harem of the former dynasty really allow only one person in the harem of an emperor?Will he agree to let her be the queen?
Even if they agreed, would they, who could not marry the royal family, collude with each other to deal with the emperor together?
"I have my own way, you just need to raise your baby with peace of mind."
"." Now that the emperor said so, Jiang Shishi believed that he could handle it well, so she just asked nonchalantly, "Your majesty, why are you different from the emperors of all dynasties, and also different from most men in Dongliang?"
"." The man was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice: "Jiao Mei Wan Duo, I just want to pick one for myself, and now I have found that unique peony, so I don't want to reward others."
After Jiang Shishi heard it, she felt like eating honey in her heart, so sweet that she wanted to scream.
How can someone never say love, but express love so perfectly in words and deeds.
After pursing her lips and smiling sweetly for a while, Jiang Shishi said softly: "What a coincidence, my concubine thinks the same as you."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"The heart and the stomach are both small, so you can't just settle for the food you like and the people you love." Jiang Shi said, "Especially the heart, you have to be single-minded."
"." Can this also be linked to food?Pei Xuanling chuckled lightly, "It's not rough to say anything."
Jiang Shishi: "It's just the emperor, why do you compare your courtiers and concubines to peony?"
"People in the world say that peony flowers avoid the season of warm spring when flowers bloom, and don't compete with them for beauty. They have a reputation of being indifferent to fame and wealth, having no desires, no desires, and no competition with the world. Therefore, I think it is very similar to you."
"Is the concubine as good as you said?" Jiang Shishi raised her head and asked.
No wonder he gave her peony flowers a long time ago. At that time, Chun Xing said that the flower language of peony flowers was a symbol of love, with a sincere meaning. He asked people to send peony flowers to her to show his love.
At that time, she didn't believe it and didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that what Chun Xing said is right, this man sent her off on purpose.
"Of course there is, and it's more than that." The man's voice was low.
Jiang Shishi was embarrassed by the man's praise, her eyes fell on the man's sexy Adam's apple, and she kissed the man's Adam's apple lightly.
The man trembled, "Don't make trouble, don't blame me if you make trouble again, I should make trouble with you again."
"A concubine like you won't dare to touch you next time"
Now the belly of the woman in his arms was getting bigger and bigger, not to mention the woman didn't dare to let him touch him more, even Pei Xuanling didn't dare to touch him more.
That night, two people with the same view of love hugged each other intimately and fell asleep
**
From that day on, Jiang Shishi no longer dared to overeat, but ate less and more meals, plus doing maternity exercises.
Meanwhile, Pei Xuanling was just about to disband the harem and canonize Jiang Shishi as empress.
As a result, within a few days, there were rumors that "the emperor spared no effort to save Concubine Chun, and asked Taoist priests to save Concubine Chun with ten years of longevity".
On the afternoon of the tenth day of February, after lunch, the Empress Dowager leaned on the imperial concubine's bed and closed her eyes for a rest.
Several maids and nurses were helping her beat her legs, pinch her shoulders, and massage her head.
One of the nuns whispered: "Master, I heard that the emperor wants to appoint Concubine Chun as the queen and dismiss the harem, why don't you persuade the emperor?"
"The emperor's doing this cut off the civil and military officials' desire to marry the royal family. The first ones who disagreed should be those civil and military officials. The Ai family would not persuade them. They are not biological mothers and children, so there is no need to be disgusted." The Queen Mother returned lazily.
When the emperor was still the crown prince, she often stuffed girls from her natal family into the backyard of the East Palace.
As a result, none of them could fall into the eyes of the emperor.
And that Yu Bing, last year when the emperor often brought Yu Bing by his side, she thought that her natal family finally had a promising girl.
However, after inquiring, I found out that neither Yu Bing nor the emperor had a crush on anyone.
The reason why the emperor brought Yu Bing with him was because of Yu Bing's martial arts and ability.
The reason why Yu Bing surrendered to the emperor was that he could show his talents in the military camp through the emperor.
She was so angry that from then on, she stopped thinking about stuffing people into the emperor's harem.
Now, the girls in her natal family are hopeless, so why should she worry about helping others and annoying the emperor.
Anyway, no matter who is the queen, she is the queen mother!
Mother: "Then what if the officials agree with the emperor to dismiss the harem and make Concubine Chun the empress?"
"As long as the emperor has passed the test of the officials, the Ai family will have nothing to say." The queen mother is quite open-minded, "It is not easy for the emperor to come to this day. Since he made this decision, it means that he must have passed the test." thoroughly considered."
"The Ai family has long said that whoever gives birth to the emperor's first son will be the empress. Concubine Chun has a twin in her belly, so she must be the empress."
Mother: "But the emperor wants to dismiss the harem, which has never been preceded in our Eastern Liang Kingdom."
"The emperor's temperament, Aijia thought he was really as the outside world said. Now he has finally opened up, but he is just a little infatuated, so let him go."
From the Empress Dowager's point of view, the emperor is both civil and military. Now that he has ascended the throne and has an heir, the royal family has descendants. She is already very satisfied with this adopted son.
**
Not long after it was reported in the harem of the former dynasty that "the emperor spared no effort to save Concubine Chun, and asked Taoist priests to save Concubine Chun with ten years of longevity".
Soon, another rumor spread in the palace.
It is said that the child in the womb of Concubine Chun was conceived while the emperor was immersed in the grief of losing his father and drank too much wine.
One morning in mid-February, Pei Xuanling got up before dawn, changed his clothes, washed and prepared to go to court.
Huang Dechang dismissed all the servants in the house, and while serving the emperor to change his clothes, he whispered in the emperor's ear, telling the emperor who was spreading the rumors. "It's her?" Pei Xuanling's eyes turned slightly, "I know."
After burning incense, Pei Xuanling had his breakfast and then went to the Palace of Preserving Harmony in a dragon chariot to pay his respects.
Today's morning is extremely lively.
At this moment, Pei Xuanling was sitting on the dragon chair above.
Next, the ministers gave their advice.
"Your Majesty, the figure of Concubine Chun does not conform to our Dongliang country's aesthetics at all. How can she let you save her with all your heart and soul for such a woman?"
"I heard that in order to save her, you did not hesitate to reduce your life by ten years. Such a selfish woman has no sense of the overall situation, and does not have the courage to mother the world. Not to mention that she is not worthy of being the queen of Dongliang Kingdom, she is simply a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country and the people." !"
"Compared to Concubine Chun, Concubine Xian has always been virtuous and virtuous, with the demeanor of mothering the world, she is the most suitable candidate for empress."
"Your Majesty, there are only a few concubines in the harem now. I suggest that you recruit more concubines to enrich the harem. By then... it won't be too late for you to establish a queen."
so and so
Above, Pei Xuanling pursed his thin lips tightly, and slightly frowned his heroic thick eyebrows.
These ministers either advised her not to make Concubine Chun as queen, or recommended him to make Concubine Xian as queen.
What's more, it is suggested that he should accept the harem widely, and then it will not be too late to establish a harem. This is rushing to fill the harem with people.
He just listened quietly until the ministers had finished speaking, then looked down at the officials in the hall and asked in a deep voice, "Have you finished?"
The officials heard the coldness in the emperor's tone, but no one dared to talk anymore.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Pei Xuanling said indifferently: "Okay, since you've all finished speaking, I have something to say to you."
All the ministers held their breaths and waited quietly for the emperor to speak.
Pei Xuanling: "About the rumors that have spread in Beijing recently, they are considered rumors, but they are not entirely true, because... half of them are true."
After hearing this, the ministers did not change their faces, but they were thinking in their hearts that it is true that the emperor wants to make Concubine Chun the empress.
As for the matter of the emperor saving Concubine Chun, the emperor would definitely not admit it.
However, the emperor's voice sounded like a bell: "These days, I really plan to disband the harem. As for making Concubine Chun the queen, I have no such plan."
Pei Xuanling said lightly: "I have been studying various Buddhist books since I was a child. When I buried the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum last time, I looked at the late emperor's tomb and thought that the late emperor had been in office for ten years. Concerned about the people, when they come, they are confused and when they go, they are confused, and they are not as free as the monk's house for half a day."
"No matter what the imperial power and wealth are, in the end, there is not only one mausoleum left, it is better to exchange this yellow robe for cassocks, put aside the worldly affairs, forget all the troubles in the world, enter the Buddha's seed, and reach the other shore!"
After speaking, Pei Xuanling got up and began to untie the dragon robe on his own.
Hearing this, the civil and military officials below were astonished and paled in panic!
What?His Majesty the emperor is going to become a monk? !
They were so scared that they all knelt down one by one.
"Your majesty, absolutely not. You are the emperor of our Dongliang country, the heaven of Dongliang country. If you become a monk, what should the court and the people of the whole country do?"
"Leaving aside these things, what should we do with Concubine Chun and the twins in her belly?"
Taking off the dragon robe, Pei Xuanling wore a black robe and stood up for the first time: "Since I have decided to become a monk and dismiss the harem, I will also dismiss Concubine Chun as well!"
At this moment, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked!
What, the emperor actually ignored the child in Concubine Chun's womb, and was so indifferent that even Concubine Chun wanted to be sent out of the palace?
Then, the story about "the emperor rescued Concubine Chun with all his heart and soul and ten years of longevity" must be false!
It's a rumor! ! !
Seeing the emperor rejecting the concubines in the harem so much, it reminded them of the rumors that have been circulating in Beijing.
It is said that the emperor has the goodness of Longyang, hidden diseases, and misogyny
Now that Concubine Chun is pregnant, the goodness of Longyang and hidden illnesses have been ruled out.
So, I guess it's misogyny.
Also, there have been rumors in the capital recently that Concubine Chun conceived the emperor's heir while the emperor was drunk. I guess this rumor should also be true.
That being the case, why did they send the women of the family to the palace, wouldn't they have to be widowed for a lifetime?
Moreover, if the misogynistic emperor is pushed into a hurry, the emperor will even become a monk.
Compared with the various virtues and talents of the emperor, the problem of misogyny is nothing in their eyes.
Besides, if the emperor really became a monk, it is estimated that the concubine Chun and the child in her belly would not be able to leave the palace.
Especially Concubine Chun, if she gave birth to a prince, she would become a puppet emperor when she was young.
In this way, concubine Chun will be the queen anyway!
And the position of listening to the government behind the curtain will be overwhelmed by the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Chun.
At that time, not only will the imperial court fall into the hands of women, but it will inevitably be bloody again.
"This must not be absolutely impossible," an official hurriedly said: "The child in the womb of Concubine Chun is your only flesh and blood, and it is also the blood of the royal family. How could it be possible to live among the people? This, this, this is not proper!"
"If that's the case, you might as well confer concubine Chun as the empress. The prince born by Concubine Chun will be the crown prince. It's better than letting him live among the people."
During this period, Jiang Chongjin knew that the emperor and Concubine Chun were in love. Although he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly wanted to become a monk, he still kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun has not yet given birth. You will send her out of the palace. She will take two children with her in the future." But how do you live?"
A minister nearby persuaded: "Your Majesty, even if you advocate Buddhism and want to practice Buddhism, you don't have to become a monk. You can practice at home. While practicing Buddhism, you can also govern the government."
"No, the status of emperor will only affect my practice." Pei Xuanling returned to the dragon chair and sat down. "Practicing Buddhism requires meditation. I deal with government affairs all day long. How can I practice Buddhism properly when I am in power?"
Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, one of the important court officials knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, you have been trained with all the power of the court. How can you become a monk to practice Buddhism? Only governing the country is your greatest responsibility! "
"Also, if you really don't like women, you can dismiss the harem, but Concubine Chun and the child in her belly must stay in the palace!"
And this minister is Xue Mao who has always been upright and outspoken.
"Master Xue's words are very true, I second my opinion!"
"My minister agrees!"
"Wei Chen agrees!"
so and so
Over the years, the ability of the new emperor to govern the government is obvious to all.
First, manage the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry in an orderly manner, and lead troops to fight.
The new emperor is resolute and brave, and has excellent command and leadership skills. Every time he goes out, he wins most of the battles, which makes the border soldiers and famous generals in the court feel inferior.
The year before last, the new emperor proposed to garrison land in the west. This move was appropriate. It not only greatly saved the loss of transporting military rations, but also fed the soldiers in the west. Only then did they win the battle and take the Xixia Kingdom.
Not only that, this year's bumper harvest, the west will get millions of hu, not to mention that the soldiers guarding the west can have enough food, and they can also hand over some grain to enrich the national treasury.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has made many achievements in selecting talents, prohibiting corruption, enforcing punishments, accumulating extensive reserves, sympathizing with scholars, saving expenses, caring for the four descendants, and preparing armies.
This man practiced benevolent government, ruled the country with virtue, loved the people like a son, practiced frugality, was not close to women, was diligent in political affairs, won the love and respect of the majority of the people, and had good governance skills.
The new emperor not only guarded the country left by the first emperor, but also had stronger national power than when the first emperor was in power.
Such a good emperor, they will keep him no matter what they say, and let him continue to manage Dongliang.
Otherwise, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no one in the royal family who is more suitable to sit on the throne than the new emperor.
The officials present still had a big-picture perspective. For the long-term development of the Dongliang Kingdom and everyone in the Dongliang Kingdom, it didn't matter who was the queen whether they were married or not.
The important thing is who is the emperor!
Facing the minister who knelt down on the ground, Pei Xuanling had a calm and handsome face, and said majesticly: "I have made up my mind, and I will shave my head on an auspicious day, so don't persuade me any longer!"
The man's attitude is resolute and firm, and there is room for no doubt in his tone!
Putting down the ultimate ruthless words, the man flicked his sleeves and left through the emperor's passage on the side, leaving all the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground.
After the emperor left, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely united and discussed how to keep the emperor.
In the days that followed, the emperor directly dismissed the court.
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty did not distinguish between day and night, and gathered people to kneel in the Longyuan Hall to beg the new emperor not to become a monk.
This matter also alarmed the Queen Mother, even the Empress Dowager who had been eating vegetarian food and praying in temples in Beijing all year round was also alarmed, and they all rushed to Longyuan Hall to persuade the emperor.
In this regard, the emperor closed the door one after another.
Annoyed by the noise, he simply threatened to go out of the palace to find a temple and shave his hair off as soon as possible.
When Pei Xuanling went to the major temples, they were so frightened that they closed their doors tightly when they heard the wind.
Because the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty said that if any temple dared to shave the emperor's hair, they would take all the students from all over the world to the temple to debate, and drown the temple and the monks inside with saliva.
The military officer of the Manchu Dynasty also said that if any temple dares to take in the emperor, it will directly lead soldiers and horses to the temple!
The empress dowager and the empress dowager also spoke one after another. Anyone who dares to shave the emperor's hair will be a sinner through the ages.
The imperial court not only wanted to behead the shaved man to show the public, but also set fire to the temple!
For a time, the whole capital was panicked.
Only Jiang Shishi knew that that man was fighting wits and courage with the former court and the harem.
After nearly half a month like this, Pei Xuanling ran all over the major temples in Beijing, but none of them dared to take him in.
One early morning in early March, the emperor, who had been in power for half a month, summoned the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
He first complained and scolded the ministers, saying that they blocked his path of practice.
In the end, he reluctantly continued to be his emperor.
And dismissed the harem, reluctantly left Concubine Chun, who was about to give birth, and agreed to make Concubine Chun embarrassingly embarrassing.
However, Concubine Chun is still pregnant, and there are a lot of things that need to be prepared to be a queen.
After Concubine Chun gave birth to the emperor's heir, the Ministry of Rites happened to be almost ready, and then she would be crowned queen.
All of a sudden, civil and military officials kowtowed and thanked everyone, everyone was happy!
Now there are not many concubines left in the harem, only Concubine Xian, Concubine Jin, Xue Jieyu, and Jiang Shishi.
The emperor said that after dismissing the harem, those who want to stay in the palace can continue to stay in the palace and live with the former emperor's concubines.
If you want to leave the palace, you can get married after leaving the palace, it's all possible.
Concubine Jin said that she wanted to go out of the palace to find an errand in the capital, so Pei Xuanling appointed her an official and noble title and made her a female general in the military camp.
Xue Jieyu was also going to go out to do business in the palace, so Jiang Shishi spoke to the Seventh Prince, asking him to find Xue Jieyu a job in the capital and find a man of the right age for Xue Jieyu.
As for Concubine Xian, she said she wanted to stay in the palace.
For other concubines, Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi responded to their requests out of guilt.
But for Concubine Xian, the more she wanted to stay in the palace, the more Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi wanted to send her out of the palace.
Because the ones spreading rumors in Beijing this time are Concubine Xian and the Ruan family.
Compared with the previous concubines, Concubine Xian didn't do too much.
Even, from a certain point of view, if Concubine Xian hadn't made such a fuss, Pei Xuanling would not have been able to dismiss the harem so successfully and make Jiang Shishi the empress.
Therefore, Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi still left a way for Concubine Xian to survive for the sake of Concubine Xian's duty these years, but she was not allowed to stay in the palace.
Because the Ruan family was involved in this matter, Pei Xuanling found a random excuse to bring down the Ruan family.
If Concubine Xian left the palace at this time, let alone having nowhere to go, even if she returned to the Ruan family, everyone in the Ruan family would not treat her as an abandoned concubine who was kicked out of the palace.
On the morning of the tenth day of March, after eating breakfast, Jiang Shishi walked in the imperial garden with her big belly holding Chun Xing's hand.
It happened to meet the concubine Xian who was expelled from the palace. She was in a hurry with a few dowry maids, and the master and servant carried a few big and small burdens on their backs.
Jiang Shishi glanced at it lightly, then continued to visit the Imperial Garden.
On the contrary, the concubine Xian took the initiative to walk in front of Jiang Shishi with a burden on her back.
Seeing this, the servants of Yilan Palace guarded Jiang Shishi vigilantly.
Across the servant, Concubine Xian's eyes fell on Jiang Shishi's huge belly, "Concubine Chun, I never thought that the one who had the last laugh would be a person like you who has no desires or desires."
"." Jiang Shishi looked at Concubine Xian fixedly, "I didn't expect that you have been doing your duty for many years, but you made a mistake in the end."
Concubine Xian raised her chin slightly. She was always gentle, and she rarely showed aloofness, "People are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. With my ability and family, since I have come to this point, I naturally want to win the best one." Location."
"I've heard that you are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Before you entered the palace, you were the most talented woman in Beijing, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that." Jiang Shishi said indifferently: "If you don't do it for yourself, it doesn't mean that you don't do it for yourself. If you plan, you will be tolerated by the heaven and earth, but if a person does not cultivate himself, then he will be tolerated by the heaven and earth!"
Concubine Xian thought that Concubine Chun deliberately satirized her with a high profile, until after hearing this sentence, Concubine Xian's face was slightly startled, and then she saluted, "Now what the empress said, it is what it is, if there is nothing else, I will It's out of the palace."
Jiang Shishi waved her hands indifferently, and continued to visit the Imperial Garden.
Concubine Xian stood where she was, looked at Jiang Shishi's back with a complicated expression, and then left with the maid.
**
Twins were often born prematurely, and one night at the end of April, Jiang Shishi began to go into labor pains.
After two days and two nights of labor pains, a pair of twins were born on the night of April 29th.
It is said that boys are like mothers and girls are like parents.
But Jiang Shishi gave birth to a girl like her, and a boy like an emperor.
Therefore, the emperor said at the time that the girl was like her, and she was born cute and beautiful.
If the boy is like him, he will be able to inherit the throne earlier.
Jiang Shishi, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but twitched her mouth slightly after hearing this.
Mom's big boy, he was just born, and he was missed by his father.
The woman in the family gave birth to twins, which is a happy thing for any family.
As soon as the emperor was happy, he rewarded the front court and the harem, and gave amnesty to the world!
For a moment, the whole world of Dongliang Kingdom celebrated together! ! !
As early as two months ago, the Ministry of Rites had been preparing for the canonization of the queen.
Now that Jiang Shishi gave birth to twins, the Ministry of Rites chose a good day, which was June [-]th, when Jiang Shishi just gave birth to her confinement.
Three days before the canonization, Jiang Shishi fasted and took a bath.
The day before the canonization, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals asked for sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the apse of the Taimiao.
Just after dawn on the canonization day, Jiang Shishi got up to dress, changed into a phoenix robe, and rode a phoenix chariot outside the Baohe Hall.
There, all the princes and ministers stood outside the Baohe Hall according to their status under the scorching sun of June.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the emperor sat in the Hall of Preserving Harmony.
As soon as Jiang Shishi's phoenix chariot stopped outside the Palace of Preservation and Harmony, she heard the guard of Luanyi praise "cracking the whip".
Outside the spacious hall, the whip was sounded three times.
After the sound of the whip was over, the "Chapter of Qingping" was played outside the hall.
Amidst the sound of playing music, Jiang Shishi wore a phoenix robe, walked on the red carpet, then stepped on Dan Bi, and walked slowly into the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
During this period, the surrounding princes and ministers kowtowed three times and kowtowed to her one after another.
At the end of the ceremony, Jiang Shishi just entered the hall and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the emperor, empress dowager, and empress dowager.
In the hall, the minister of the Ministry of Rites asked the emperor whether to start the canonization ceremony. After the emperor agreed, the minister of the Ministry of Rites went to the steps and read out the order: "In the first year of Shunde, on June [-]th, the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager was enshrined. Your family is the empress, and I ordered you to salute with respect."
The princes and ministers continued to kneel three times and kowtow nine times: "Congratulations to Concubine Chun for her ascension to the throne, and the empress will be a thousand years old and a thousand years old."
Then, the guard of honor and the music team led the way and led Jiang Shishi to play music outside the palace gate.
Jiang Shishi, wearing a nine-dragon and four-phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, stands in the center of the hall, facing south.
Immediately afterwards, the two ministers knelt in front of Jiang Shishi and handed over the queen's book and the seal to Jiang Shishi.
After Jiang Shishi took over the book and the seal, she had to kneel three times and knock nine times
After some red tape, the ceremonial ceremony for conferring the queen was over.
Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi walked down from the Hall of Preserving Harmony side by side. They supported each other's palms and walked down the Hall of Preserving Harmony hand in hand, and each returned to Jiang Shishi's new bedroom in a dragon and phoenix chariot: Fengluan Palace!
Outside, Jiang Shishi had to carry it no matter standing or sitting.
Now back in the inner room of Fengluan Palace, she sat down in front of the dressing table sweating profusely, and asked Chun Xing Chuntao to quickly remove the hair ornament from her head.
The crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes on her head today weighs at least a few kilograms!
As soon as Pei Xuanling entered the inner room, he saw a woman sitting in front of the dressing table, dripping with sweat.
After dismissing the maid in the inner room with his hand, the man ordered the servants to bring in more ice basins, and beside the woman, he helped the woman remove her hair accessories.
"Are you tired today?" The man removed the hair accessories very gently, as if he was afraid of hurting the woman or hurting her beautiful black hair.
"It's okay." On a June day, Jiang Shishi was extremely hot today, and she was wearing very heavy clothes. She was just out of confinement and walked around staring at the scorching sun, her whole body was very hot.
As a result, being treated so tenderly by a man, my heart seemed to calm down all of a sudden.
Looking at the dragon robe on the man's body and the crown on his head, in Jiang Shishi's impression, this man is dressed so tightly every summer.
Now, Jiang Shishi really admires how he can still calmly remove her hair accessories.
After helping the woman remove all the hair ornaments from her head, Pei Xuanling held the woman's hands, and the two sat facing each other, "Shishi, do you still remember what I told you when the seventh brother got married?"
"What did you say when the Seventh Prince got married?" Jiang Shishi tilted her head and thought for a long time before finally shaking her head, "I don't remember."
"On the day when the seventh brother got married, when you visited the Seventh Concubine, your face was always filled with a joyful smile, and there was also a look of longing in your eyes. I said at that time that if other women have it, you also have it."
Rubbing the woman's fair hands, the man's tone was quite deep, "You and I have known each other for a long time, skipping the wedding and getting to this point, there is no way to hold another wedding, but I can give you a queen sealing ceremony."
"So that's what you were talking about. It's much bigger than a wedding." After the man said this, Jiang Shishi could be considered to have remembered what happened back then.
I still remember the man saying to her at that time: Don't envy others, they are all women, and what other women have, you will also have.
At that time, she thought that he was just casually comforting her, but she never thought that he was making a promise to her, and now he has fulfilled his promise!
With a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, Jiang Shishi raised her head and looked at the man with full eyes.
And the man in front of her was looking at her affectionately with a pair of deep black pupils.
At this moment, silence speaks louder than words, and only the other's face is reflected in each other's eyes.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman approached unconsciously, and slowly put their foreheads together. The man turned his head slightly, and gently pecked at the corner of the woman's lips.
The woman raised her head and responded naturally to the man
Since this day, Dongliang Kingdom has a plump queen, which ended the beauty aesthetics of being thin, ended body anxiety, and opened a new dynasty of plumpness.
After all, the empress is so plump and can still be favored by His Majesty alone. Why do they try every means to hurt their bodies and maintain a slender figure? ——

This is the first time I tried 1V1 Gong Douwen, thank you for all the treasures who supported this book, I love you~
(End of this chapter)
Since she was promoted to Concubine Chun and moved to Yilan Palace, there were about twenty more servants in the courtyard.
Chun Xing and Chun Tao, as first-class maids, were responsible for serving her personally, while the rest of the servants performed their duties.
"Okay, servant girl will remember." Chun Xing nodded cautiously.
Under Jiang Shishi's order, Chun Xing and Chun Tao found out in the kitchen that night, and they came to the inner room with a maid in their hands.
Chun Xing: "My lord, you really guessed it right. Today, after the Lan Xiang boiled the medicine for you, the servant girl asked her to take out the medicine dregs, and she began to hesitate, saying that the medicine dregs were poured out. The servant girl asked her where she poured the medicine dregs, but she couldn't tell where."
"In the end, the servant girl and Chuntao led people to search the bedroom for a long time before they found a pot of medicine dregs under her bed. It was estimated that they were going to throw it away secretly, and the servant girl checked it. Those medicine residues are not for regulating the spleen and stomach at all. , but the medicine that Miss Qingdai gave you to regulate your body!"
"Apart from changing the bag when you boiled the medicine today, did you change the bag before?" Jiang Shishi asked the maid named Lan Xiang.
"The maidservant has never changed the medicinal materials, even today. It is not intentional, but accidentally took the wrong medicine bag." Lan Xiang argued.
Chun Xing: "I found medicine dregs under your bed, how dare you argue?!"
Chuntao: "You said you took the wrong medicine by accident, so why didn't you tell us? Or boiled a new pack of medicine? Why did you refuse to hand over the medicine residue when we asked you to hand it over? You didn't Did you say that the medicine dregs have been dumped long ago? Why are they hidden under your bed?"
Lan Xiang couldn't answer several questions in a row.
"It seems that you won't cry when you see the coffin." Jiang Shishi was already unwell and was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lan Xiang, "Chun Xing, Chun Tao, you take her down, you have to pry her mouth open no matter what, and ask the truth .”
"Yes." After Chun Xing agreed, she and Chun Tao forked Lan Xiang out.
Chun Xing and Chun Tao have been in the palace for many years, and they have naturally learned a lot about those torture methods.
Na Lanxiang was just an ordinary court lady, she couldn't stand the torture, but she was tortured overnight, so she recruited everything.
The next morning, when Chun Xing waited for Jiang Shishi to get up, she said to Jiang Shishi, "Master, it was Lan Xiang who was bought by Lu Meiren. Then Lu Meiren gave Lan Xiang a golden hairpin, and encouraged Lan Xiang to give you a medicine package."
"Lu Meiren also told Lan Xiang that your health is not good, and the emperor once said that he did not intend to have a child in your womb. Even if something happened to you, it would not be discovered, and the emperor would not blame it. "
Jiang Shishi knew long ago that Lu Meiren was just like her father, Lu Darong, and was not a good person.
I never thought that a little beauty would dare to bribe the maid in her yard and murder the child in her womb. I am really tired of work!
"Ouch~" Jiang Shishi just gargled with peppermint water and retched for a while.
After suffering for a while, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked, "Did you find all the three packets of medicine?"
She was afraid that some of the three packs of medicine had entered her stomach.
Chun Xing: "As for the three packs of medicine, Lan Xiang also recruited them all. She hid two packs under the bed, and one pack is the dregs of the pack of medicine she boiled for you last night. The total is exactly three packs."
Chuntao: "Your Majesty, thank you for letting us clean up the medicine bags in the warehouse yesterday, and Na Lanxiang was just about to do it last night, otherwise, if we were a step late, the consequences would be disastrous."
After washing up, Jiang Shishi reluctantly ate a white flour steamed bun, and ordered in a deep voice: "Chun Xing, go and bring Lu Meiren to Ben Gong."
After about a stick of incense, Jiang Shishi held Mrs. Tang to read the account book in the inner room, and Chun Xing brought Beauty Lu into the inner room.
"Blessed Concubine Chun." As soon as she entered the room, Beauty Lu bowed to Jiang Shishi.
This Jiang Shishi, who is wearing a mint-colored jacket and dresses, is imitated. She looks [-] to [-]% similar to Jiang Shishi.
If people who don't know look at it, they really think they are sisters.
"." Jiang Shishi didn't raise her head, and didn't cry out.
Lu Meiren didn't dare to get up, but she was too tired to bend her knees, so she simply knelt down to Jiang Shishi, "I don't know why your mother called me here today?"
"Why did I call you here? I think you know better than Bengong." Jiang Shishi lowered her head, flipping through the ledger casually.
"." Lu Meiren lowered her head, "I don't know what your mother is talking about."
"Lu Meiren, don't put on an air here!" Chun Xing snorted coldly, "Yesterday, Lan Xiang was already recruited, and you bought her, and asked her to replace the medicine used by Empress Chun to regulate the spleen and stomach with one that can cause abortion This is Lan Xianghua's confession!"
After speaking, Chun Xing threw the confession in front of Lu Meiren.
Lu Meiren picked up the rice paper on the ground and took a glance at it, "Then Lan Xiang is a maid of the Yilan Palace, so of course she will help you to give false testimony."
Chun Tao: "This is a fact, so why do we need to give false testimony? Besides, why do we need Lan Xiang to give false testimony?"
"Since Concubine Chun's concubine was pregnant, the emperor has visited me the most, so she is jealous of me being favored and wants to harm me!" After saying that, Beauty Lu threw the rice paper into the charcoal basin beside her.
Immediately, the rice paper representing the evidence was burned to ashes.
"You just burn it." Chun Xing said disdainfully: "My young master knows you are despicable, and has been on guard against you for a long time. Lan Xiang has drawn three testimonies in total, one in the hands of the concubine Chun and one in the emperor's place." , and there is another copy in the concubine Xian's place. As for the copy you burned... it's just a draft of the record of honor."
Chuntao: "Lu Meiren, now that there are witnesses and material evidence, no matter how much you argue, it's useless."
"." Hearing this, Lu Meiren finally couldn't calm down anymore, with a look of panic on her face.
After a short period of panic, Lu Meiren stared at Jiang Shishi jealously: "So what if I bribed Lan Xiang to cause your miscarriage? I just can't understand the way you dote on the harem!"
"Obviously Dongliang Kingdom regards thinness as beauty, but you can be favored by being fat, but I tried my best to imitate you, and I dressed myself like you from the beginning to the end. I became no longer like myself. The mirror almost doesn't know who it is, but it can never take your place in the emperor's heart, and it can never conceive an heir."
Chun Xing: "It's not the concubine Chun who forced you, it's you who insist on imitating the empress, the empress is generous and doesn't care about you, but you feel resentful, it's like a slap in the face!"
"." Lu Meiren couldn't listen to Chun Xing's words at all, she thought that everything she did was caused by Concubine Chun!
Lu Meiren said to Jiang Shishi: "And my father, if you hadn't dropped the weapon artwork when you were exercising in Shiyue Pavilion, my father would not have been beheaded, and I would not have lost my father and my mother's backing." , is still a beauty!"
Chun Xing rolled her eyes angrily at Lu Meiren's words, "You figured it out, you picked things up and didn't return them, that's called stealing!"
"That's right!" Chuntao echoed, "And your father, who plagiarized my little master's artwork, even if he was demoted or beheaded, that's his own fault. You father and daughter can't blame others, if you want to blame, blame yourselves for being unrighteous!"
Chun Xing: "Besides, you were just a beauty when you entered the palace. Where did you get your backing? Your father was only a petty official in the Ministry of Industry for many years. If it wasn't for plagiarizing my young master's drawings, he was promoted to an official position." Son"
"Okay." Jiang Shishi stopped Chun Xing and Chun Tao, "You two are too, she just made it clear that she is being unreasonable, what reason can she have with such an unreasonable person?"
Hearing this, Chun Xing and Chun Tao shut up one after another.
"It's really noisy, it's making me feel sore." Jiang Shishi rubbed her temples with her middle finger, "You two just take Lu Meiren out, and hand over her, other witnesses, and physical evidence to Concubine Xian, and say that Bengong is not feeling well. Just let Concubine Xian deal with her according to the palace rules."
If she hadn't discovered it in time this time, Meiren Lu's trick might have succeeded.
And if she drank the packaged medicine, the child in her stomach would probably be gone.
As for Lu Meiren's murder of the emperor's heir, if she remembers correctly, she must be executed according to the palace rules.
It's just that she is pregnant after all, this kind of thing should not be handled in Yilan Temple.
Now that she is unwell, and the harem has been managed by Concubine Xian, it would be best to let Concubine Xian take care of it.
Chun Xing and Chun Tao answered "Yes" in unison.
"." Hearing that Jiang Shishi was going to hand her over to Concubine Xian, Beauty Lu knew that she would die.
Then, Lu Meiren, who was kneeling, suddenly stood up, her sweet and lovely face became hateful, she stared at Jiang Shishi fiercely, and was about to bump her head into Jiang Shishi's stomach, "Mr. Jiang! Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go." !"
Fortunately, Chun Xing and Chun Tao responded in a timely manner, before Meiren Lu bumped into Jiang Shishi, she was kicked out by Chun Xing and Chun Tao.
On weekdays, this beauty Lu imitated the concubine Chun everywhere, and the two of them had been unhappy with beauty Lu for a long time, and now they couldn't even mention how happy they were.
On the same day, the court lady who made the medicine was killed with a stick in the Palace of Concubine Xian.
As for Lu Meiren, Concubine Xian gave a piece of white silk to kill herself according to the palace rules, and the servants directly threw the body to the mass grave in the back mountain.
**
After October, the painful morning sickness continued to torment Jiang Shishi daily.
Xu Shitai's medicine started to take effect. After drinking the herbal medicine for regulating the spleen and stomach for a while, he vomited, but his stomach didn't bleed.
It is disgusting to smell all kinds of smells. Her sense of smell not only rejects the smell of oily smoke and food, but also the smell of flowers, rouge powder, and saponins.
Even when the emperor approached her, she used to think that the faint ambergris on the other party's body smelled strange, but now just smelling it makes her sick.
It is said that as the months get older, this reaction will gradually reduce to disappear.
Therefore, Jiang Shishi is looking forward to that day.
However, until the first month of the first year of Shunde, Jiang Shishi's situation still did not improve.
Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can't eat anything when faced with a table of delicious dishes.
This kind of life that feels like years makes Jiang Shishi feel very desperate, and doesn't know when she will be tall.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital diagnosed a happy event for her.
At this time, she was already four months pregnant, and the imperial hospital diagnosed that she was pregnant with twins, so it was no wonder that her reaction was bigger than that of ordinary women.
As for gender, you don't know until you're born.
In this way, no matter how hard Jiang Shishi worked, it was worth it.
In this way, at the end of the first month, Jiang Shishi's appetite suddenly improved.
She used to only eat half a bowl of rice per meal, but now she eats three bowls of rice per meal.
However, this good appetite also has its disadvantages. Jiang Shishi gained five catties in a month!
The belly is also getting bigger day by day, and the twins she is pregnant with are bigger than the belly of ordinary pregnant women.
Therefore, the doctor at the Imperial Hospital reminded her, saying that if this continues, the nutrition of the fetus will be sufficient, and I am afraid that Concubine Chun will have a hard time giving birth.
Under normal circumstances, most men in the dynasty only care about the children in their stomachs, and don't care about whether women live or die.
Anyway, children are rare, especially twins, which need nutrition even more. As for women, there are plenty of them!
But Pei Xuanling was different. I was afraid that Jiang Shishi would have to work too hard during childbirth.
After learning about this, he ordered the servant of Yilan Temple to supervise Jiang Shishi, and only allowed him to eat one bowl of rice, one bowl of soup, and a moderate amount of fruits and vegetables for each meal.
On the evening of the sixth day of February, after finishing his business, Pei Xuanling went to the Yilan Hall to inspect the post.
It was snowing heavily outside, and it was freezing cold. He didn't want the woman to come out to greet her pregnant, so he didn't sing the newspaper, and let someone push the door into the hall.
As soon as I entered the room, I could smell the aroma of food floating in the hall, and I saw a table of meals on the table of the Eight Immortals.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Shishi stood up and was about to salute.
Before the woman saluted, Pei Xuanling raised his hand and made a gesture of "Excuse me", "You eat yours."
Jiang Shishi said "Oh" and continued to sit down to eat.
Huang Dechang swept the snow off the emperor with Buddha dust, helped the emperor take off his cloak, and waited for the emperor to clean his hands.
Then, Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi sat face to face at the Eight Immortals table.
When Huang Dechang helped him serve the meal, he glanced at the woman opposite, who was eating the meal with a big appetite.
Seeing that the woman had a good appetite, the corners of Pei Xuanling's mouth rose slightly.
It's just that when his eyes fell on the big bowl placed in front of the woman, the smile on Pei Xuanling's mouth gradually disappeared.
It's not that he didn't see the sea bowl in front of the woman before, he thought it was a soup bowl, so this is her rice bowl?
Seeing this, Pei Xuanling glanced sharply at the servants in the room, "I asked you to supervise Concubine Chun, and only let you eat one bowl of rice for each meal. Is this how you supervise?"
Hearing this, all the servants in the room knelt down tremblingly, and the whole hall instantly became silent.
"Your majesty, you are the one who said that the concubines can only eat one bowl of rice per meal. They have supervised the concubines well, and the concubines have also listened to you well. They can only eat one bowl of rice per meal." Hai Wan, who has a big face, looks innocent.
The corner of Pei Xuanling's mouth twitched slightly, but he was speechless.
After a while, he said with a sullen face: "I don't even look at the size of your sea bowl, one bowl is worth at least three bowls of rice, or even more than three bowls!"
He asked the imperial doctor that a pregnant woman would eat a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup every meal, plus vegetables and fruits would be enough.
If you eat too much, not only the pregnant woman will gain weight, but the fetus will also be too large, which will increase the risk of dystocia!
Especially the woman in front of her is pregnant with twins, so she needs to pay more attention to this aspect.
That's why he asked people to supervise her, and she was only allowed to eat one bowl of rice per meal.
Unexpectedly, she actually changed to such a big sea bowl. It seems that it is not a bowl problem, but a human problem. What a greedy cat!
"But the concubine doesn't want to. Every time I eat less, I will be hungry in less than half an hour. Even if I eat such a big bowl of rice, I will still be hungry after an hour!"
Jiang Shishi said pitifully: "Besides, it's not that the concubines want to eat, but the children in their stomachs want to eat, or two children. This is equivalent to one person eating and three people making up."
She is so hungry recently!
"." Seeing the pitiful look of the woman, Pei Xuanling couldn't bear to say anything more, he just said to Huang Dechang: "Bring in the chicken soup that I asked to cook for Concubine Chun!"
"Yes." After Huang Dechang agreed, he went out to serve chicken soup.
Not long after, Huang Dechang came in with a casserole and placed it in the middle of the Eight Immortals table.
Jiang Shishi looked at the chicken soup that occupied the C position on the table. The chicken was golden yellow, the soup was light yellow, and there were a few bright red dates floating on it. It looked light, nutritious and delicious.
"Your Majesty, although my concubine has had fish soup just now, can I have another bowl of this chicken soup?" Jiang Shishi asked the man obediently.
From Pei Xuanling's point of view, this woman seemed well-behaved, but she was actually very cunning.
"I specially prepared this for you, of course you can drink it." Pei Xuanling was rarely able to talk: "You can also drink a bowl of chicken soup, anyway, it's just a bowl, it's within my rules."
Jiang Shishi: "." Why did she feel that there was something in this man's words?
Sure enough, the man asked, "Do you know how this chicken died?"
Jiang Shishi: "Isn't it just slaughtered by the cook?"
Pei Xuanling glanced lightly at Huang Dechang who was next to him, and heard Huang Dechang holding his whisk and saying, "Madam Chun, because this chicken is too fat and has too much fat in its body, it can't lay eggs, and it can't lay eggs smoothly to death."
Jiang Shishi: "." So, this chicken died of dystocia?
Therefore, Jiang Shishi imagined the scene of an old hen squatting in the chicken coop to lay eggs, but because she was too fat to lay eggs, she was suffocated to death.
It can be called miserable, no, forbear, and see!
Although she knew it was a trick of the emperor, she had to admit that the prince had successfully frightened her.
"I just drank fish soup, so I don't want to drink chicken soup." Not only that, Jiang Shishi also said: "By the way, the emperor, there is too much rice in the concubine's bowl, can I share some with you?"
Pei Xuanling didn't dislike it at all, and naturally handed over his job to the woman.
Jiang Shishi at least reduced half of the rice for the emperor, and, when eating, she did not dare to eat more greasy dishes on the table.
Huang Dechang, who was on the side, saw this scene and smiled as his aunt.
In order to make Concubine Chun restrain her diet, the emperor really worked hard with good intentions.
It's freezing outside now, so it's not easy to go out to digest food.
After dinner, Pei Xuanling reviewed the memorial in the inner room.
After Jiang Shishi rested for a while, she did some maternity exercises in the inner room.
When it was Haishi, the two of them washed and went to bed under the service of their servants.
Now that Jiang Shishi has a big belly, she slept on her left side as usual, but the man behind her suddenly hugged her from behind.
Moreover, the man kissed her neck from behind.
Jiang Shishi shrank her neck, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Since she was pregnant, this man has always been very well-behaved, never moving his hands and feet, at most he just kissed her on the cheek.
What's the matter today?
"I want you." The man's straight nose was pressed against the woman's snowy neck, breathing heavily.
"But the concubine is still pregnant." Jiang Shishi pushed the man, but was hugged even tighter by the man.
"I know, but I've heard people say that it doesn't matter after the first three months." The man deftly untied the woman's clothes while kissing the woman's snowy neck, "Don't be afraid, I will take it easy It hurts you."
A while ago, a woman had a severe reaction to morning sickness, and every time he approached, she would say that the ambergris on his body smelled bad.
Therefore, he specifically asked his servants not to use ambergris to fumigate his clothes.
However, even so, the woman still said that the scent on his body made her sick, and the woman's fetal position was still unstable at that time, so he hadn't been close to her for several months.
Now that she was finally willing to get close to him, and the fetal position was secured, Pei Xuanling indulged a little.
After a long time, Pei Xuanling called for water, and the two of them lay down again after scrubbing.
Pei Xuanling hugged the woman in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Shishi, I want to dismiss the harem and make you the queen."
"." Jiang Shishi was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open. When she heard the man's words, she suddenly opened her eyes, turned around and lay on her side facing the man, "Your Majesty, aren't you joking with my concubine?"
In her opinion, as an emperor, he can treat her wholeheartedly.
Even if you go to other concubines, it's just going through the motions with "dream-like fragrance".
This is unprecedented in Dongliang country.
Now, this man actually said that he would dismiss the palace and make her his empress.
The point is that she didn't bring it up on her own initiative, but he said it on her own initiative.
As an ancient man, his awareness is too high, right?
It is simply higher consciousness than most modern men in later generations!
"Since I told you, I must have thought it over carefully." The man looked at Jiang Shishi affectionately, and said in a deep voice, "You know, I have never favored any concubine in the harem except you. Under normal circumstances, nothing can be seen in a short period of time, but after a long time, paper cannot contain fire after all."
"In addition, when I was the crown prince, it was okay. There were not many officials who wanted to fill the East Palace. Now that I am the emperor, when the show girl election is held, it is better to designate how many people want to fill the harem. Cut off their thoughts earlier."
In fact, as early as when he ascended the throne, he thought about canonizing her as a queen.
It's just that the father had just passed away at that time, if he wanted to confer the title of empress, he had to wait until the second year, this was the rule.
It was also because the father had just passed away that the civil and military officials had no intention of stuffing people into the harem.
However, at the beginning of this year, several important ministers in the court faintly revealed the idea of stuffing their daughters, granddaughters, granddaughters, and nieces into the harem and marrying with the royal family, but he was perfunctory in a few words.
It's okay to be perfunctory once or twice, but if he is more perfunctory, if he loses patience, the ministers will inevitably have disagreements.
"How do you plan to break their thoughts?" Jiang Shishi asked curiously.
Will the harem of the former dynasty really allow only one person in the harem of an emperor?Will he agree to let her be the queen?
Even if they agreed, would they, who could not marry the royal family, collude with each other to deal with the emperor together?
"I have my own way, you just need to raise your baby with peace of mind."
"." Now that the emperor said so, Jiang Shishi believed that he could handle it well, so she just asked nonchalantly, "Your majesty, why are you different from the emperors of all dynasties, and also different from most men in Dongliang?"
"." The man was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice: "Jiao Mei Wan Duo, I just want to pick one for myself, and now I have found that unique peony, so I don't want to reward others."
After Jiang Shishi heard it, she felt like eating honey in her heart, so sweet that she wanted to scream.
How can someone never say love, but express love so perfectly in words and deeds.
After pursing her lips and smiling sweetly for a while, Jiang Shishi said softly: "What a coincidence, my concubine thinks the same as you."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"The heart and the stomach are both small, so you can't just settle for the food you like and the people you love." Jiang Shi said, "Especially the heart, you have to be single-minded."
"." Can this also be linked to food?Pei Xuanling chuckled lightly, "It's not rough to say anything."
Jiang Shishi: "It's just the emperor, why do you compare your courtiers and concubines to peony?"
"People in the world say that peony flowers avoid the season of warm spring when flowers bloom, and don't compete with them for beauty. They have a reputation of being indifferent to fame and wealth, having no desires, no desires, and no competition with the world. Therefore, I think it is very similar to you."
"Is the concubine as good as you said?" Jiang Shishi raised her head and asked.
No wonder he gave her peony flowers a long time ago. At that time, Chun Xing said that the flower language of peony flowers was a symbol of love, with a sincere meaning. He asked people to send peony flowers to her to show his love.
At that time, she didn't believe it and didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that what Chun Xing said is right, this man sent her off on purpose.
"Of course there is, and it's more than that." The man's voice was low.
Jiang Shishi was embarrassed by the man's praise, her eyes fell on the man's sexy Adam's apple, and she kissed the man's Adam's apple lightly.
The man trembled, "Don't make trouble, don't blame me if you make trouble again, I should make trouble with you again."
"A concubine like you won't dare to touch you next time"
Now the belly of the woman in his arms was getting bigger and bigger, not to mention the woman didn't dare to let him touch him more, even Pei Xuanling didn't dare to touch him more.
That night, two people with the same view of love hugged each other intimately and fell asleep
**
From that day on, Jiang Shishi no longer dared to overeat, but ate less and more meals, plus doing maternity exercises.
Meanwhile, Pei Xuanling was just about to disband the harem and canonize Jiang Shishi as empress.
As a result, within a few days, there were rumors that "the emperor spared no effort to save Concubine Chun, and asked Taoist priests to save Concubine Chun with ten years of longevity".
On the afternoon of the tenth day of February, after lunch, the Empress Dowager leaned on the imperial concubine's bed and closed her eyes for a rest.
Several maids and nurses were helping her beat her legs, pinch her shoulders, and massage her head.
One of the nuns whispered: "Master, I heard that the emperor wants to appoint Concubine Chun as the queen and dismiss the harem, why don't you persuade the emperor?"
"The emperor's doing this cut off the civil and military officials' desire to marry the royal family. The first ones who disagreed should be those civil and military officials. The Ai family would not persuade them. They are not biological mothers and children, so there is no need to be disgusted." The Queen Mother returned lazily.
When the emperor was still the crown prince, she often stuffed girls from her natal family into the backyard of the East Palace.
As a result, none of them could fall into the eyes of the emperor.
And that Yu Bing, last year when the emperor often brought Yu Bing by his side, she thought that her natal family finally had a promising girl.
However, after inquiring, I found out that neither Yu Bing nor the emperor had a crush on anyone.
The reason why the emperor brought Yu Bing with him was because of Yu Bing's martial arts and ability.
The reason why Yu Bing surrendered to the emperor was that he could show his talents in the military camp through the emperor.
She was so angry that from then on, she stopped thinking about stuffing people into the emperor's harem.
Now, the girls in her natal family are hopeless, so why should she worry about helping others and annoying the emperor.
Anyway, no matter who is the queen, she is the queen mother!
Mother: "Then what if the officials agree with the emperor to dismiss the harem and make Concubine Chun the empress?"
"As long as the emperor has passed the test of the officials, the Ai family will have nothing to say." The queen mother is quite open-minded, "It is not easy for the emperor to come to this day. Since he made this decision, it means that he must have passed the test." thoroughly considered."
"The Ai family has long said that whoever gives birth to the emperor's first son will be the empress. Concubine Chun has a twin in her belly, so she must be the empress."
Mother: "But the emperor wants to dismiss the harem, which has never been preceded in our Eastern Liang Kingdom."
"The emperor's temperament, Aijia thought he was really as the outside world said. Now he has finally opened up, but he is just a little infatuated, so let him go."
From the Empress Dowager's point of view, the emperor is both civil and military. Now that he has ascended the throne and has an heir, the royal family has descendants. She is already very satisfied with this adopted son.
**
Not long after it was reported in the harem of the former dynasty that "the emperor spared no effort to save Concubine Chun, and asked Taoist priests to save Concubine Chun with ten years of longevity".
Soon, another rumor spread in the palace.
It is said that the child in the womb of Concubine Chun was conceived while the emperor was immersed in the grief of losing his father and drank too much wine.
One morning in mid-February, Pei Xuanling got up before dawn, changed his clothes, washed and prepared to go to court.
Huang Dechang dismissed all the servants in the house, and while serving the emperor to change his clothes, he whispered in the emperor's ear, telling the emperor who was spreading the rumors. "It's her?" Pei Xuanling's eyes turned slightly, "I know."
After burning incense, Pei Xuanling had his breakfast and then went to the Palace of Preserving Harmony in a dragon chariot to pay his respects.
Today's morning is extremely lively.
At this moment, Pei Xuanling was sitting on the dragon chair above.
Next, the ministers gave their advice.
"Your Majesty, the figure of Concubine Chun does not conform to our Dongliang country's aesthetics at all. How can she let you save her with all your heart and soul for such a woman?"
"I heard that in order to save her, you did not hesitate to reduce your life by ten years. Such a selfish woman has no sense of the overall situation, and does not have the courage to mother the world. Not to mention that she is not worthy of being the queen of Dongliang Kingdom, she is simply a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country and the people." !"
"Compared to Concubine Chun, Concubine Xian has always been virtuous and virtuous, with the demeanor of mothering the world, she is the most suitable candidate for empress."
"Your Majesty, there are only a few concubines in the harem now. I suggest that you recruit more concubines to enrich the harem. By then... it won't be too late for you to establish a queen."
so and so
Above, Pei Xuanling pursed his thin lips tightly, and slightly frowned his heroic thick eyebrows.
These ministers either advised her not to make Concubine Chun as queen, or recommended him to make Concubine Xian as queen.
What's more, it is suggested that he should accept the harem widely, and then it will not be too late to establish a harem. This is rushing to fill the harem with people.
He just listened quietly until the ministers had finished speaking, then looked down at the officials in the hall and asked in a deep voice, "Have you finished?"
The officials heard the coldness in the emperor's tone, but no one dared to talk anymore.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Pei Xuanling said indifferently: "Okay, since you've all finished speaking, I have something to say to you."
All the ministers held their breaths and waited quietly for the emperor to speak.
Pei Xuanling: "About the rumors that have spread in Beijing recently, they are considered rumors, but they are not entirely true, because... half of them are true."
After hearing this, the ministers did not change their faces, but they were thinking in their hearts that it is true that the emperor wants to make Concubine Chun the empress.
As for the matter of the emperor saving Concubine Chun, the emperor would definitely not admit it.
However, the emperor's voice sounded like a bell: "These days, I really plan to disband the harem. As for making Concubine Chun the queen, I have no such plan."
Pei Xuanling said lightly: "I have been studying various Buddhist books since I was a child. When I buried the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum last time, I looked at the late emperor's tomb and thought that the late emperor had been in office for ten years. Concerned about the people, when they come, they are confused and when they go, they are confused, and they are not as free as the monk's house for half a day."
"No matter what the imperial power and wealth are, in the end, there is not only one mausoleum left, it is better to exchange this yellow robe for cassocks, put aside the worldly affairs, forget all the troubles in the world, enter the Buddha's seed, and reach the other shore!"
After speaking, Pei Xuanling got up and began to untie the dragon robe on his own.
Hearing this, the civil and military officials below were astonished and paled in panic!
What?His Majesty the emperor is going to become a monk? !
They were so scared that they all knelt down one by one.
"Your majesty, absolutely not. You are the emperor of our Dongliang country, the heaven of Dongliang country. If you become a monk, what should the court and the people of the whole country do?"
"Leaving aside these things, what should we do with Concubine Chun and the twins in her belly?"
Taking off the dragon robe, Pei Xuanling wore a black robe and stood up for the first time: "Since I have decided to become a monk and dismiss the harem, I will also dismiss Concubine Chun as well!"
At this moment, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked!
What, the emperor actually ignored the child in Concubine Chun's womb, and was so indifferent that even Concubine Chun wanted to be sent out of the palace?
Then, the story about "the emperor rescued Concubine Chun with all his heart and soul and ten years of longevity" must be false!
It's a rumor! ! !
Seeing the emperor rejecting the concubines in the harem so much, it reminded them of the rumors that have been circulating in Beijing.
It is said that the emperor has the goodness of Longyang, hidden diseases, and misogyny
Now that Concubine Chun is pregnant, the goodness of Longyang and hidden illnesses have been ruled out.
So, I guess it's misogyny.
Also, there have been rumors in the capital recently that Concubine Chun conceived the emperor's heir while the emperor was drunk. I guess this rumor should also be true.
That being the case, why did they send the women of the family to the palace, wouldn't they have to be widowed for a lifetime?
Moreover, if the misogynistic emperor is pushed into a hurry, the emperor will even become a monk.
Compared with the various virtues and talents of the emperor, the problem of misogyny is nothing in their eyes.
Besides, if the emperor really became a monk, it is estimated that the concubine Chun and the child in her belly would not be able to leave the palace.
Especially Concubine Chun, if she gave birth to a prince, she would become a puppet emperor when she was young.
In this way, concubine Chun will be the queen anyway!
And the position of listening to the government behind the curtain will be overwhelmed by the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Chun.
At that time, not only will the imperial court fall into the hands of women, but it will inevitably be bloody again.
"This must not be absolutely impossible," an official hurriedly said: "The child in the womb of Concubine Chun is your only flesh and blood, and it is also the blood of the royal family. How could it be possible to live among the people? This, this, this is not proper!"
"If that's the case, you might as well confer concubine Chun as the empress. The prince born by Concubine Chun will be the crown prince. It's better than letting him live among the people."
During this period, Jiang Chongjin knew that the emperor and Concubine Chun were in love. Although he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly wanted to become a monk, he still kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun has not yet given birth. You will send her out of the palace. She will take two children with her in the future." But how do you live?"
A minister nearby persuaded: "Your Majesty, even if you advocate Buddhism and want to practice Buddhism, you don't have to become a monk. You can practice at home. While practicing Buddhism, you can also govern the government."
"No, the status of emperor will only affect my practice." Pei Xuanling returned to the dragon chair and sat down. "Practicing Buddhism requires meditation. I deal with government affairs all day long. How can I practice Buddhism properly when I am in power?"
Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, one of the important court officials knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, you have been trained with all the power of the court. How can you become a monk to practice Buddhism? Only governing the country is your greatest responsibility! "
"Also, if you really don't like women, you can dismiss the harem, but Concubine Chun and the child in her belly must stay in the palace!"
And this minister is Xue Mao who has always been upright and outspoken.
"Master Xue's words are very true, I second my opinion!"
"My minister agrees!"
"Wei Chen agrees!"
so and so
Over the years, the ability of the new emperor to govern the government is obvious to all.
First, manage the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry in an orderly manner, and lead troops to fight.
The new emperor is resolute and brave, and has excellent command and leadership skills. Every time he goes out, he wins most of the battles, which makes the border soldiers and famous generals in the court feel inferior.
The year before last, the new emperor proposed to garrison land in the west. This move was appropriate. It not only greatly saved the loss of transporting military rations, but also fed the soldiers in the west. Only then did they win the battle and take the Xixia Kingdom.
Not only that, this year's bumper harvest, the west will get millions of hu, not to mention that the soldiers guarding the west can have enough food, and they can also hand over some grain to enrich the national treasury.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has made many achievements in selecting talents, prohibiting corruption, enforcing punishments, accumulating extensive reserves, sympathizing with scholars, saving expenses, caring for the four descendants, and preparing armies.
This man practiced benevolent government, ruled the country with virtue, loved the people like a son, practiced frugality, was not close to women, was diligent in political affairs, won the love and respect of the majority of the people, and had good governance skills.
The new emperor not only guarded the country left by the first emperor, but also had stronger national power than when the first emperor was in power.
Such a good emperor, they will keep him no matter what they say, and let him continue to manage Dongliang.
Otherwise, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no one in the royal family who is more suitable to sit on the throne than the new emperor.
The officials present still had a big-picture perspective. For the long-term development of the Dongliang Kingdom and everyone in the Dongliang Kingdom, it didn't matter who was the queen whether they were married or not.
The important thing is who is the emperor!
Facing the minister who knelt down on the ground, Pei Xuanling had a calm and handsome face, and said majesticly: "I have made up my mind, and I will shave my head on an auspicious day, so don't persuade me any longer!"
The man's attitude is resolute and firm, and there is room for no doubt in his tone!
Putting down the ultimate ruthless words, the man flicked his sleeves and left through the emperor's passage on the side, leaving all the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground.
After the emperor left, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely united and discussed how to keep the emperor.
In the days that followed, the emperor directly dismissed the court.
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty did not distinguish between day and night, and gathered people to kneel in the Longyuan Hall to beg the new emperor not to become a monk.
This matter also alarmed the Queen Mother, even the Empress Dowager who had been eating vegetarian food and praying in temples in Beijing all year round was also alarmed, and they all rushed to Longyuan Hall to persuade the emperor.
In this regard, the emperor closed the door one after another.
Annoyed by the noise, he simply threatened to go out of the palace to find a temple and shave his hair off as soon as possible.
When Pei Xuanling went to the major temples, they were so frightened that they closed their doors tightly when they heard the wind.
Because the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty said that if any temple dared to shave the emperor's hair, they would take all the students from all over the world to the temple to debate, and drown the temple and the monks inside with saliva.
The military officer of the Manchu Dynasty also said that if any temple dares to take in the emperor, it will directly lead soldiers and horses to the temple!
The empress dowager and the empress dowager also spoke one after another. Anyone who dares to shave the emperor's hair will be a sinner through the ages.
The imperial court not only wanted to behead the shaved man to show the public, but also set fire to the temple!
For a time, the whole capital was panicked.
Only Jiang Shishi knew that that man was fighting wits and courage with the former court and the harem.
After nearly half a month like this, Pei Xuanling ran all over the major temples in Beijing, but none of them dared to take him in.
One early morning in early March, the emperor, who had been in power for half a month, summoned the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
He first complained and scolded the ministers, saying that they blocked his path of practice.
In the end, he reluctantly continued to be his emperor.
And dismissed the harem, reluctantly left Concubine Chun, who was about to give birth, and agreed to make Concubine Chun embarrassingly embarrassing.
However, Concubine Chun is still pregnant, and there are a lot of things that need to be prepared to be a queen.
After Concubine Chun gave birth to the emperor's heir, the Ministry of Rites happened to be almost ready, and then she would be crowned queen.
All of a sudden, civil and military officials kowtowed and thanked everyone, everyone was happy!
Now there are not many concubines left in the harem, only Concubine Xian, Concubine Jin, Xue Jieyu, and Jiang Shishi.
The emperor said that after dismissing the harem, those who want to stay in the palace can continue to stay in the palace and live with the former emperor's concubines.
If you want to leave the palace, you can get married after leaving the palace, it's all possible.
Concubine Jin said that she wanted to go out of the palace to find an errand in the capital, so Pei Xuanling appointed her an official and noble title and made her a female general in the military camp.
Xue Jieyu was also going to go out to do business in the palace, so Jiang Shishi spoke to the Seventh Prince, asking him to find Xue Jieyu a job in the capital and find a man of the right age for Xue Jieyu.
As for Concubine Xian, she said she wanted to stay in the palace.
For other concubines, Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi responded to their requests out of guilt.
But for Concubine Xian, the more she wanted to stay in the palace, the more Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi wanted to send her out of the palace.
Because the ones spreading rumors in Beijing this time are Concubine Xian and the Ruan family.
Compared with the previous concubines, Concubine Xian didn't do too much.
Even, from a certain point of view, if Concubine Xian hadn't made such a fuss, Pei Xuanling would not have been able to dismiss the harem so successfully and make Jiang Shishi the empress.
Therefore, Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi still left a way for Concubine Xian to survive for the sake of Concubine Xian's duty these years, but she was not allowed to stay in the palace.
Because the Ruan family was involved in this matter, Pei Xuanling found a random excuse to bring down the Ruan family.
If Concubine Xian left the palace at this time, let alone having nowhere to go, even if she returned to the Ruan family, everyone in the Ruan family would not treat her as an abandoned concubine who was kicked out of the palace.
On the morning of the tenth day of March, after eating breakfast, Jiang Shishi walked in the imperial garden with her big belly holding Chun Xing's hand.
It happened to meet the concubine Xian who was expelled from the palace. She was in a hurry with a few dowry maids, and the master and servant carried a few big and small burdens on their backs.
Jiang Shishi glanced at it lightly, then continued to visit the Imperial Garden.
On the contrary, the concubine Xian took the initiative to walk in front of Jiang Shishi with a burden on her back.
Seeing this, the servants of Yilan Palace guarded Jiang Shishi vigilantly.
Across the servant, Concubine Xian's eyes fell on Jiang Shishi's huge belly, "Concubine Chun, I never thought that the one who had the last laugh would be a person like you who has no desires or desires."
"." Jiang Shishi looked at Concubine Xian fixedly, "I didn't expect that you have been doing your duty for many years, but you made a mistake in the end."
Concubine Xian raised her chin slightly. She was always gentle, and she rarely showed aloofness, "People are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. With my ability and family, since I have come to this point, I naturally want to win the best one." Location."
"I've heard that you are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Before you entered the palace, you were the most talented woman in Beijing, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that." Jiang Shishi said indifferently: "If you don't do it for yourself, it doesn't mean that you don't do it for yourself. If you plan, you will be tolerated by the heaven and earth, but if a person does not cultivate himself, then he will be tolerated by the heaven and earth!"
Concubine Xian thought that Concubine Chun deliberately satirized her with a high profile, until after hearing this sentence, Concubine Xian's face was slightly startled, and then she saluted, "Now what the empress said, it is what it is, if there is nothing else, I will It's out of the palace."
Jiang Shishi waved her hands indifferently, and continued to visit the Imperial Garden.
Concubine Xian stood where she was, looked at Jiang Shishi's back with a complicated expression, and then left with the maid.
**
Twins were often born prematurely, and one night at the end of April, Jiang Shishi began to go into labor pains.
After two days and two nights of labor pains, a pair of twins were born on the night of April 29th.
It is said that boys are like mothers and girls are like parents.
But Jiang Shishi gave birth to a girl like her, and a boy like an emperor.
Therefore, the emperor said at the time that the girl was like her, and she was born cute and beautiful.
If the boy is like him, he will be able to inherit the throne earlier.
Jiang Shishi, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but twitched her mouth slightly after hearing this.
Mom's big boy, he was just born, and he was missed by his father.
The woman in the family gave birth to twins, which is a happy thing for any family.
As soon as the emperor was happy, he rewarded the front court and the harem, and gave amnesty to the world!
For a moment, the whole world of Dongliang Kingdom celebrated together! ! !
As early as two months ago, the Ministry of Rites had been preparing for the canonization of the queen.
Now that Jiang Shishi gave birth to twins, the Ministry of Rites chose a good day, which was June [-]th, when Jiang Shishi just gave birth to her confinement.
Three days before the canonization, Jiang Shishi fasted and took a bath.
The day before the canonization, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals asked for sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the apse of the Taimiao.
Just after dawn on the canonization day, Jiang Shishi got up to dress, changed into a phoenix robe, and rode a phoenix chariot outside the Baohe Hall.
There, all the princes and ministers stood outside the Baohe Hall according to their status under the scorching sun of June.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the emperor sat in the Hall of Preserving Harmony.
As soon as Jiang Shishi's phoenix chariot stopped outside the Palace of Preservation and Harmony, she heard the guard of Luanyi praise "cracking the whip".
Outside the spacious hall, the whip was sounded three times.
After the sound of the whip was over, the "Chapter of Qingping" was played outside the hall.
Amidst the sound of playing music, Jiang Shishi wore a phoenix robe, walked on the red carpet, then stepped on Dan Bi, and walked slowly into the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
During this period, the surrounding princes and ministers kowtowed three times and kowtowed to her one after another.
At the end of the ceremony, Jiang Shishi just entered the hall and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the emperor, empress dowager, and empress dowager.
In the hall, the minister of the Ministry of Rites asked the emperor whether to start the canonization ceremony. After the emperor agreed, the minister of the Ministry of Rites went to the steps and read out the order: "In the first year of Shunde, on June [-]th, the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager was enshrined. Your family is the empress, and I ordered you to salute with respect."
The princes and ministers continued to kneel three times and kowtow nine times: "Congratulations to Concubine Chun for her ascension to the throne, and the empress will be a thousand years old and a thousand years old."
Then, the guard of honor and the music team led the way and led Jiang Shishi to play music outside the palace gate.
Jiang Shishi, wearing a nine-dragon and four-phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, stands in the center of the hall, facing south.
Immediately afterwards, the two ministers knelt in front of Jiang Shishi and handed over the queen's book and the seal to Jiang Shishi.
After Jiang Shishi took over the book and the seal, she had to kneel three times and knock nine times
After some red tape, the ceremonial ceremony for conferring the queen was over.
Pei Xuanling and Jiang Shishi walked down from the Hall of Preserving Harmony side by side. They supported each other's palms and walked down the Hall of Preserving Harmony hand in hand, and each returned to Jiang Shishi's new bedroom in a dragon and phoenix chariot: Fengluan Palace!
Outside, Jiang Shishi had to carry it no matter standing or sitting.
Now back in the inner room of Fengluan Palace, she sat down in front of the dressing table sweating profusely, and asked Chun Xing Chuntao to quickly remove the hair ornament from her head.
The crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes on her head today weighs at least a few kilograms!
As soon as Pei Xuanling entered the inner room, he saw a woman sitting in front of the dressing table, dripping with sweat.
After dismissing the maid in the inner room with his hand, the man ordered the servants to bring in more ice basins, and beside the woman, he helped the woman remove her hair accessories.
"Are you tired today?" The man removed the hair accessories very gently, as if he was afraid of hurting the woman or hurting her beautiful black hair.
"It's okay." On a June day, Jiang Shishi was extremely hot today, and she was wearing very heavy clothes. She was just out of confinement and walked around staring at the scorching sun, her whole body was very hot.
As a result, being treated so tenderly by a man, my heart seemed to calm down all of a sudden.
Looking at the dragon robe on the man's body and the crown on his head, in Jiang Shishi's impression, this man is dressed so tightly every summer.
Now, Jiang Shishi really admires how he can still calmly remove her hair accessories.
After helping the woman remove all the hair ornaments from her head, Pei Xuanling held the woman's hands, and the two sat facing each other, "Shishi, do you still remember what I told you when the seventh brother got married?"
"What did you say when the Seventh Prince got married?" Jiang Shishi tilted her head and thought for a long time before finally shaking her head, "I don't remember."
"On the day when the seventh brother got married, when you visited the Seventh Concubine, your face was always filled with a joyful smile, and there was also a look of longing in your eyes. I said at that time that if other women have it, you also have it."
Rubbing the woman's fair hands, the man's tone was quite deep, "You and I have known each other for a long time, skipping the wedding and getting to this point, there is no way to hold another wedding, but I can give you a queen sealing ceremony."
"So that's what you were talking about. It's much bigger than a wedding." After the man said this, Jiang Shishi could be considered to have remembered what happened back then.
I still remember the man saying to her at that time: Don't envy others, they are all women, and what other women have, you will also have.
At that time, she thought that he was just casually comforting her, but she never thought that he was making a promise to her, and now he has fulfilled his promise!
With a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, Jiang Shishi raised her head and looked at the man with full eyes.
And the man in front of her was looking at her affectionately with a pair of deep black pupils.
At this moment, silence speaks louder than words, and only the other's face is reflected in each other's eyes.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman approached unconsciously, and slowly put their foreheads together. The man turned his head slightly, and gently pecked at the corner of the woman's lips.
The woman raised her head and responded naturally to the man
Since this day, Dongliang Kingdom has a plump queen, which ended the beauty aesthetics of being thin, ended body anxiety, and opened a new dynasty of plumpness.
After all, the empress is so plump and can still be favored by His Majesty alone. Why do they try every means to hurt their bodies and maintain a slender figure? ——
