Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

"The palace rules are strict and there is no room for arrogance. It is up to Du to choose whether she will be thrown into the cold palace or become a white lady." The Queen Mother's golden nanmu crutch fell heavily to the ground.

The door of Taihe Palace suddenly opened.

The emperor held Du Jiyan's hand and walked out slowly.

The round-necked silver robe is embroidered with gold, the cuffs are embroidered with Ruyi patterns, and the whole body is embroidered. The needlework is filled with gold threads, and every small pattern is decorated with a pearl the size of a rice grain. The hair is tied up with a silver crown, with a pearl inlaid in the middle of the hair crown. Even the shoes are inlaid with silver patterns.

The emperor held a folding fan in his hand and stood in the rising sun of the Taihe Palace. The young man's heroic appearance and wealth came to him.

Du Jiyan wore a bright green fragrant cloud gauze skirt, covered with a water-colored fragrant cloud gauze shirt. The fragrant cloud gauze was thin and light. It was cool and smooth when worn on the body. The shadowy fragrant cloud gauze was embroidered with a pair of wings. The white crane is about to fly. The crane's eyes are decorated with pearls and coiled with silver thread. Even the clouds above the crane are embroidered with silver thread. Gray forbidden steps, tired and drooping.

Her eyes are bright, her eyebrows are delicate, and her temples are decorated with delicate peonies. Under the peonies, there is delicate pink rouge. The rouge is hazy and tranquil, and the lip color is as bright as peach blossoms.

She held a round fan in her hand. The white round fan was embroidered with colorful peonies. The stamens of each peony flower were embroidered with gold thread, and the bright yellow stamens were decorated with smaller and smaller pearls smaller than a grain of rice. .

This is the outfit I wore when I was in Yongxing City.

This heaven-shattering wealth.

This damn sense of CP.

The Queen Mother looked a little stunned. I couldn't remember a single line of the lines I had planned to accuse the emperor and Du Jiyan.

It was the emperor's first salute: "My son, please give your regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be happy."

"You also know how to salute the Ai family. The Ai family hasn't seen you in several days. Fortunately, you still know that the Ai family is your mother."

"People can lack great virtues, but they cannot lack small etiquette. If the Queen Mother scolds her ministers, they will listen to her. But the Queen Mother should not be so angry." The emperor pretended to be very respectful.

Fortunately, those secret guards were very skilled in martial arts. After sneaking into the palace through the back door, they forcefully sent the emperor and Du Jiyan into the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

In the past ten years, Tiantaihe Palace had been singing and dancing, and taking advantage of the excitement, the Emperor and Du Jiyan sneaked back to Yongxing City, but luckily no one recognized them.

"The emperor is the emperor after all. If the emperor is deceived by others, that person should not be treated lightly. Your Majesty, you have to give an explanation to all the civil and military officials." The Queen Mother looked at Du Jiyan pointedly.

"Mother, it wasn't her who seduced her sons and ministers, it was her sons who seduced her."

"You..." The Queen Mother shook her crutches, it was really unreasonable: "You want the Ai family to personally issue the edict? You left the pregnant queen alone with the Wei family and messed with the Du family. The Du family violated the palace rules and cannot be forgiven. Now the queen If you are pregnant, you should not move. It is reasonable and reasonable for the Ai family to follow the palace rules. Does the emperor still want to stop her?"

Du Jiyan knelt down directly.

"It's too late to kneel down." The Queen Mother said with a sullen face.

Du Jiyan vomited and almost vomited on the Queen Mother's shoes.

"Du Changzai, how are you?" The emperor quickly supported him.

"I'm dizzy."

"I'm trying to pretend to be sick to avoid punishment. The Ai family has seen her too much. Someone, please ask the doctor on duty to take her pulse. The Ai family wants to see how long the emperor will protect her."

The imperial doctor came in a hurry with a medicine box, checked his pulse, and happily reported to the Emperor and Queen Mother that Du Jiyan was happy.

There was a burst of sparks and lightning in Du Jiyan's head, what? Are you happy?

Did you go to Yongxing City to get pregnant?

No wonder she felt refreshed when she went there, but was vomited when she came back. It turned out to be a sign of pregnancy. It was just that she was too young, had not experienced it, and did not understand it.

The emperor was also dumbfounded: "Mrs. Du, you are pregnant. I thought you were infertile."

"Bah, bah, bah." The Queen Mother hurriedly supported Du Jiyan: "What did the emperor say? It seems that Du is easy to have a child. This pregnancy comes at the right time. The emperor's heirs are few. With this extra child, we Chen Guo The country will be more stable."

The Queen Mother's attitude made a 180-degree change.

Yan Guan also tried to add: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, although Mrs. Du is pregnant, it is not enough to offset her mistakes. In short, she deceived the Emperor into not wanting to make progress, and deceived the Emperor into lusting after beauty. If such a woman is not punished, she will If everyone in the harem follows suit, wouldn’t it be chaos?”

The emperor really wants to kick this official down the steps and come to court every day, so you can't wink: "According to your wishes, how should I deal with Du Changzai?"

"The death penalty can be spared, but at the very least, you have to be sent to the cold palace."

The Queen Mother was reluctant at first: "You want to send the grandson of the Ai family to the cold palace? Which dynasty are you a minister of?"

The Emperor: "Maybe they are remnants of the previous dynasty."

The Queen Mother: "Although the emperor is behind closed doors these days, watching singing and dancing, it is to relax his mind. Once he relaxes, won't the children come? Compared with inheriting the incense from Chen Guo, the Ai family feels that it is not a big deal if the emperor does not attend the morning court for ten days. Wrong. What do you think?"

The direction of the wind is changing very quickly.

Otherwise, we are one family.

The Queen Mother is very cruel when she talks harsh words, but she never does any cruel things.

In front of him, he was still leaning on a cane and scolding the emperor and Du Shi. Now Kung Fu was smiling so brightly that crow's feet appeared from the corners of his eyes.

"The emperor has worked hard these days. Gao Rang, please quickly tell the imperial kitchen to stew the bird's nest for the emperor. By the way, steam one kilogram of sea cucumber for the emperor."

"Ms. Du is pregnant with a child, so she shouldn't be overworked. Aunt Guan, please tell her to go down and leave the Ai family's chariot and sedan chair to Mrs. Du."

"But Queen Mother, your legs and feet"

"What are you afraid of? No matter how bad the Ai family's legs and feet are, they can always walk back slowly. Now that Du is pregnant with a dragon fetus, don't be careless. Someone must look after every word and action. The chariot and sedan chair will be left to Du."

Are they all so adaptable to the wind?

The officials below have already started to flatter Eucommia ulmoides.

"Mr. Du really gave birth to a good daughter. Du Changzai is very lucky. This baby will definitely be a dragon child."

"Master Du will still need to promote him in the future. Any offenses he made before are all our fault."

The emperor personally helped Du Jiyan sit on the sedan chair. He could not express his joy. In front of all the civil and military officials, he directly gave Du Jiyan a welfare increase: "Ms. Du is pregnant with a dragon fetus. It is a great achievement and she will be specially promoted." Du Changzai is Du's concubine. One should be rewarded according to the concubine's position."

The people from the Ministry of Rites poked their heads in and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Du jumped to the concubine position just after she got pregnant. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop Youyou from talking."

"Where is Youyouzhikou?" The emperor pointed to the officials of the Ministry of Rites: "Do you have an opinion? Or you?"

The people from the Ministry of Etiquette were so frightened that they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to do this. It's just that the Queen is pregnant and has not been promoted. If she is promoted to Du Family rashly, she may not be able to convince everyone."

"The errands of the Ministry of Rites are clearly for you to do. Tell me, the queen is already the mother of the world and is in the middle palace. How can she be promoted? Pull me and let her be promoted to the queen mother?"

The people in the Ministry of Rites did not dare to raise their heads: "I made a mistake."

"I said that the Du family should be promoted to Du Concubine, and the people in the Ministry of Rites should handle it according to the regulations. Who has any objections?"

"I don't dare."

Du Jiyan returned to Wanru Hall in the Queen Mother's carriage. The eunuchs and maids of Wanru Hall almost burst into tears. I always thought that my master had caused resentment and was afraid of being punished. Who would have thought that in ten days, my master was not only fine, but also came back pregnant with a child.

If you're pregnant with a child, isn't that stable?

Shi Jing came to the Wanru Hall happily. He first served Du Jiyan with sheepskin filigree, then longevity porridge, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, Yunmeng meat with entangled flowers, milk jade pistil soup, ginger vinegar and fragrant snails, filling the table with piles. He was worried that Du Jiyan wouldn't be able to reach him, so he personally served Du Jiyan with food: "You've lost weight after not seeing me for ten days. It's not easy to serve the emperor. Hurry up and eat something good to replenish your body."

Du Jiyan's mouth was stuffed into a small bun.

"Don't tell me, the emperor is really good at dealing with him."

"kindness?"

"Look, if you play with him for a few days, he will give you a child."

Du Jiyan

"In the past, I often said that the emperor was afraid of being unable to have children. Thinking that I had slandered the emperor, I felt regretful." Shi Jing held a pink handkerchief to his chest and said with emotion: "Now it seems that the emperor is not infertile. You see Now all three women in the palace are pregnant, which shows that the emperor has profound skills and strong martial arts."

Du Jiyan

Shi Jing, you are very good at finishing lyrics.

The ginger and vinegar snails were delicious, crispy and sour. Du Jiyan ate three pieces in a row, and Gao Rang came to the emperor's side.

Shi Jing was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear: "I made you a concubine just after I got pregnant, but Gao Rang came again before I finished the meal. Is it possible that the emperor wants to make you a concubine?"

Gao Rang came to pass on the historical scene.

"The Emperor summons Young Master Shi to see him at Taihe Palace."

Shi Jing held the rice bowl and looked at Du Jiyan helplessly: "The queen's concubines and you are pregnant, and I am the only one who is idle. Sure enough, I can't just wander around when I am idle. I must have been caught by the emperor now. Let me go to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to serve you. You also know that the emperor has been very evil recently, and whoever touches him will get pregnant."

"It's a good thing if you serve as a bed attendant. This will happen even if you enter the palace." Du Jiyan comforted her.

"I'm shocked to hear the bad news. I can't eat anymore." Shi Yan put down his rice bowl and went to Taihe Palace with Gao Rang with a thunderous expression.

After a while, Shi Jing came back happily.

It turned out that the emperor summoned her not to let her sleep with him, but to directly reward her with the status of a noble person, and also rewarded her with the word "乐" (乐 noble person).

If you don't go to bed and directly reward noble people with status, it will be a historical phenomenon.

Shi Jing wiped away the gloom on his face, drank three bowls of longevity porridge, and expressed two thoughts.

The emperor does not need her to sleep with him.

The emperor decided to promote her status out of gratitude to his master.

Shi Jing was so happy that she had been promoted and no longer had to sleep with the emperor or have children. She had never dreamed of such a good thing.

On the night of the seventh day of the second lunar month, the queen suffered from a severe stomachache. Doctor Zhang stayed overnight, boiling medicine and administering acupuncture. The queen struggled for more than two hours and was covered in sweat.

The movement in the main hall of Jingren Palace woke up the concubine Wei. Wearing a thin shirt and shuffling her shoes, the concubine Wei came to the queen's bed. After asking, she found out that the queen was not expecting a baby. The concubine Wei was a little disappointed. After counting the days, the queen always refused If the queen doesn't give birth, she has to pretend to be pregnant. It's hard to be pregnant, and it's hard to pretend to be pregnant. A few days ago, when Zhao promised to Bao Guiren and they went to Jingren Palace to pay their respects, Concubine Wei was sitting there playing the piano, and the fake pregnancy was crooked. .

Zhao Wenren and others all watched. Zhao Wenxing pointed at Wei Bin's belly and said how her belly had almost reached her buttocks.

Fortunately, Wei Bin was calm. She held the fake pregnant belly and explained to Zhao Yaoyong that the child was a month old and was often moving around in the belly. This was what the doctors called fetal movement, so there was nothing strange about it.

Zhao promised to favor Shao Xing, but he had never conceived a child. She believed whatever Wei concubine said, and she was able to get away with it.

That night, Concubine Wei came to visit the queen with bare feet and shoes. The queen under the gauze tent looked a little haggard.

After drinking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhang, the queen leaned on the head of the bed with a soft pillow. When she raised her eyes, she saw that Wei Bin's stomach was flat.

"Sister, your belly."

"What's wrong with my belly?"

"You forgot to stuff the cloth bag in."

Wei Bin then remembered that the cloth bag was still on the bed, so she quickly took it and stuffed it into her abdomen, which made her abdomen swell again.

During the first ten months of pregnancy, such cloth bags increase from small to large, and the concubines must make one every month.

Therefore, in the past few months of false pregnancy, she imitated the queen's belly and expanded her belly bit by bit. It was considered a near miss and no one noticed it.

"Sister is about to give birth, and our good days are coming soon." Wei Concubine was very nostalgic for the queen's belly: "I made an agreement with my sister a long time ago. When my sister gives birth to twins, she will give me the girl. In this way, my sister will give birth to a prince, and I will give birth to a princess, and the glory of our Wei family will be preserved."

The queen bit her lip lightly.

She also knew that if she didn't agree to Wei Bin's suggestion, Wei Bin would have to deal with the suicide again.

There are only two daughters in the Wei family, and she is the only sister.

She couldn't just watch her sister die.

Although the queen is stupid, she never does anything bad.

Concubine Wei came up with this bad idea because of the matter of giving birth to a child, and the queen was already in a state of panic. Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor gave another piece of bad news.

"The Queen's fetus has changed."

Wei Bin hurriedly said: "It was said before that they were a boy and a girl. Now that there has been a change, has it become two boys?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head.

"Two female fetuses?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head again.

Concubine Wei was a little nervous: "What happened to the Queen's fetus? It's hard for you to tell me."

"The Empress has only one child now." Doctor Zhang carefully considered his words: "The Empress only has one child in her belly."

Wei Bin didn't believe it: "You were the one who took the Queen's pulse when she was pregnant. In the past few months, you have been prescribed by Dr. Zhang. Now that the Queen is about to give birth, you say she only has one baby in her belly? What about the other one? Where are the children?"

"Back to the Empress, back to the concubines of Wei, a woman's pregnancy is full of dangers, with a narrow escape from death. When the Empress was pregnant for the first time, according to her pulse, it was indeed twins, but the twins were developing in the belly, and one of them was not as good as the other. The fetus either slowly disappears or is absorbed by another fetus. This can be found in medical books."

"Impossible." Wei Bin sat crookedly on the couch: "My sister didn't want to give me a child, so she deliberately let the imperial doctor say this, right?"

The queen was wronged.

The queen originally thought she was pregnant with a boy and a girl, but now she had a baby, and the queen didn't know why.

I only know that the more I eat, the less I eat. Even if I am pregnant, I will eat less and less.

Concubine Wei had already pulled out the hairpin and pointed it at her throat: "My sister's position in the palace, and she is pregnant with an heir, so naturally it is perfect. If I live, I will only embarrass the Wei family. It is better to die and avoid making people laugh."
