Queen's scheming

Chapter 319 Dong Xiaoyuan's Bounce
"How is it? Did you find out?" Dong Xiaoyuan asked impatiently, and handed Rui Xin a cup of warm honey water.

Rui Xin ran a little anxiously, didn't care about the rules, drank it in a hurry, and said with a long breath: "I have already found out, no wonder the news of Ningsu Palace is so tightly sealed, it turns out it is for the Fuguo Gongfu Even if Ningsu Palace doesn't keep their mouth shut, Cihui Palace will definitely keep their mouth shut."

"About the government office? What do you say?" Dong Xiaoyuan picked up the needle and thread, and wanted to seal the children's clothes with a needle, but after listening to Ruixin's words, she put down the things in her hand again. It was related to the Empress Dowager of Cihui Palace, and it was also related to the noble concubine Duanjing of Qinzhu Palace, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.

Ruixin put down the white-glazed blue-and-white teacup in her hand, and said softly beside Dong Xiaoyuan: "The Fuguo Mansion issued an obituary, and the old Fuguo has passed away!"

"Is this true?" Dong Xiaoyuan was a little unbelievable, but she had never heard of the saying that Mr. Fu was not in good health. It had always been rumored that Mr. Fu was always in good health. If there was anything to do with war, he would definitely do it. General?Why is it gone all of a sudden?

Rui Xin nodded, and pouted angrily in the direction of the main hall of Ningsu Palace: "If such a thing hadn't happened, why would the crown prince's inauguration ceremony have been cancelled?"

Dong Xiaoyuan thought for a while, and it was indeed true. If it wasn't for such a big event, the Ningsu Palace would not have easily canceled the grand ceremony. Dong Xiaoyuan suddenly laughed. It must be that the heavens took pity on her, and she was always worried about the imperial concubine Duanjing Now that Grandpa Fu is gone, isn't this a chance that God bestowed on her?
Dong Xiaoyuan gently caressed her lower abdomen, where the youngest figure had swelled up, just like a big round pot, and said with a smile: "Let's go and greet the empress!"

Ruixin was a little puzzled, and asked doubtfully: "My lord, what does this mean? Didn't my lord never go out of the palace door except for the daily greetings? Why do you want to go there now?"

"Today is different from the past. Tell me, when the prince grows up, there must always be someone to accompany him to study, ride and shoot! Except for the princes and marquises outside the palace, who is the most honorable?" Dong Xiaoyuan stood up Going to rummage through the clothes, he threw the question to Rui Xin and asked.

Ruixin replied with a smile: "Of course it's the one in my lord's stomach. How can I say that he's a brother at that time? Don't people often say that father and son are soldiers in battle, brothers who fight tigers?"

"Isn't it? Earlier I heard that the imperial concubine Duanjing was pregnant. I was so anxious. I thought that once the crown prince was born, the one in my stomach would only be a few months away. It wasn't me, the little prince, who accompanied me." , who else? My life experience is humble, and the empress will definitely not shy away from it. When the time comes, my prince and the prince will get along well, and the future will definitely not be bad, but it is a coincidence. Imperial Concubine Jing is also pregnant, I am really worried, don't even mention the one in her belly, just talk about the current Princess Hejing, the empress is so spoiled."

As Dong Xiaoyuan said, she continued in a puzzled way: "I don't know what the Empress Dowager thinks, but she is just a girl, and this has to be left outside the palace. The girl is a loser, so how can she stay by her side and hold her?" Beloved, the little lady next door to my house, when she was as old as Princess Hejing, got up early to cook and cook, but if the family's father, mother, brother, and younger brothers got up, her meal hadn't been cooked yet. She will definitely be beaten. This is the life of a girl! But look at how the empress has spoiled Princess Hejing? It doesn’t look like the daughter of the imperial concubine, but she has become the princess of the empress’s direct line!”

Rui Xin seemed to be feeling a little bit emotional, so she just said lightly, "Maybe she is the daughter of the royal family, Jingui!"

Dong Xiaoyuan rolled her eyes and said: "That's right, I heard that all princesses are going to get married, just like Princess Ruiwei back then, even if she brought dozens of carts of dowry, it wouldn't change that she married to another country Miserable."

"Hey, let's not talk about this, you went to Huangjue Temple to ask for a lottery for me when you left the palace that day. Since you got a lottery, I must be a little prince in my belly, so I won't fight with the imperial concubine for those. Now that Duke Fu has passed away, she doesn't have much to rely on, and the queen mother has been indifferent these years, but she has given me a chance!" Dong Xiaoyuan picked out an extremely bright peach red, and compared it with her body, it perfectly complemented her. Her complexion is very good, but the spots on her face are a bit of an eyesore.

Ruixin helped Dong Xiaoyuan get dressed, and said worriedly: "I heard that a few days ago, the Empress Dowager killed Madam Ding in front of her with a cane, and she said that Madam Ding disobeyed the Empress Dowager's intentions, and that Emperor Qinzhu Palace On the imperial concubine's side, a little maid was also shot, saying she was talking nonsense."

Dong Xiaoyuan smiled and said: "The Fu Guogong is dead, and the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine Duanjing have no backing. This is killing chickens to warn monkeys! I'm afraid people in this palace will treat them slowly! Alas, this palace has always worshiped the high and trampled the low. The queen mother and the imperial concubine Duanjing are used to being in high positions. If they are like me, when they have no heirs and no favors, they will be honest and do their duty, just like there is no such person in the palace. It's too bad, they show their sharpness so well, they can only be hated!"

Ruixin felt that Dong Xiaoyuan's words were not quite right, but she couldn't say anything, so she didn't think about it any more, she just dressed up for Dong Xiaoyuan, looked at the dark spots on Dong Xiaoyuan's face, frowned and said: "The little master's face The freckles are getting heavier, it’s okay to go out of the palace, let’s go to the Ningsu Palace today, do you want to put some powder on it to cover it up?”

"No, what's black spots? Haven't you heard of it outside the palace? A woman will turn ugly when she gives birth to a son. Look at the good looks of Concubine Tang Gui and Concubine Duanjing. Maybe this child will be a princess. Only those who become ugly like me will have a son!" Dong Xiaoyuan said excitedly: "If I am the only one who gives birth to a son, the crown prince will definitely make friends with my son, and we live together in the same palace. To be a great general, or to be a wealthy prince, who doesn’t need to do anything, is just like the current Prince Cheng, who wants wind and rain, alas, when the time comes, he will take me out of the palace, I can have a good time too!"

Ruixin heard Dong Xiaoyuan mention Tang Guifei's pregnancy, and immediately asked: "Oh, what if Tang Guifei gave birth to a son? Duanjing's natal family Fuguo Gongfu has fallen, but Tang Gui The concubine's natal family is very honorable! At that time, I will definitely overwhelm my little master!"

Dong Xiaoyuan smiled softly and said: "No, have you forgotten that I have stayed in front of Concubine Tang, the Empress is extremely jealous of Concubine Tang, how can her child get close to the crown prince? Suppression is good!"

Rui Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, the little master in my belly is blessed!"

Dong Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, feeling overjoyed, she gently stroked her belly and said, "I must have a son!"

Dong Xiaoyuan brought Rui Xin to the gate of the main hall of Ningsu Palace, Mother Jiang was waiting outside, seeing Dong Xiaoyuan coming from a distance in a pink dress, she felt contemptuous in her heart.

This Dong Xiaoyuan had paid her dues before, but since the canonization ceremony of the crown prince failed, she started jumping up and down, not knowing what she was up to!
"Slave maid greets Dong Xiaoyuan, my lord is happy and safe!" No matter how much Madam Jiang hated Dong Xiaoyuan, she should have the courtesy. How could an old man who has been in the palace for many years be manipulated on the surface.

How could Dong Xiaoyuan dare to accept Jiang Nanny's gift, she hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Jiang Nanny, the empress is in the palace, the concubine wants to greet the empress!"

Mother Jiang had a smile on her face, but her feet blocked Dong Xiaoyuan's way, she said with a smile: "Master Dong, it's really a coincidence that Imperial Concubine Duanjing and Princess Hejing are inside, and they just came for half a cup of tea. I'm teasing the little prince. I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain the young master. Anyway, the young master lives in the East Wing. He can visit the empress whenever he wants, so why fight with the imperial concubine Duanjing for a moment! What do you say? Isn't it such a gift?"

Dong Xiaoyuan didn't expect that Mi Yurou actually brought Princess Hejing here because she was able to put on clothes. That's right, Mi Yurou has no backer, so she must rely on Shen Qingyi's love for Princess Hejing, and take good care of her Shen Qingyi is a big tree.

"Oh, that's how it is! The concubine should come back another day. Speaking of which, the concubine has not been out of the house for quite a while. The imperial doctor said several times before that activities are conducive to production, and there will be more concubines in the future. Come out for some activities, when the time comes, please ask Mother Jiang to make it easier for you!" Dong Xiaoyuan said, quietly stuffing a jade bracelet on her wrist into Mother Jiang's neck through the wide armhole. hands.

It is no wonder that there are many people in the court. After being a court lady for so many years, Dong Xiaoyuan knows best that no matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible to buy people's hearts without a little blood in their hands.

Sure enough, Mother Jiang's complexion softened a little, and she reminded softly: "The Queen's Empress has not held the canonization ceremony of the little prince these days as scheduled, and she feels depressed and flustered, and loses her temper at every turn. Why does Xiaozhu Dong have to come here at this pass? , why don't you wait for a while, when the twelfth lunar month is under, and take advantage of the happy New Year's atmosphere to please your empress again, wouldn't it be more timely?"

Dong Xiaoyuan lowered her head lightly and said, "Thank you, Mommy, for reminding me!"

"Where is the little master, the future of the young master is bright, it is better to raise it well in the palace, the children in this palace, which one is not active, will disappear, the young master should be careful!" Mother Jiang pointed out something.

Dong Xiaoyuan immediately looked like a formidable enemy, stroked Ruixin's hand, and went back.

Mother Jiang looked at Dong Xiaoyuan's back, squinted her eyes, and casually summoned a little palace maid, and said softly, "Keep an eye on the east chamber!"

Yuhe was coming out of the main hall, the martial arts practitioner, with sharp ears, stepped forward and whispered to Mother Jiang, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Jiang Nanny said softly: "The one in the East Wing can't sit still, I don't know what kind of bad intentions came up again, I was scared back, the delicious food should be sent to the East Wing, I looked at her The belly is getting bigger, the bigger it is, the harder it is to give birth. At that time, it is best to keep the child and go to the mother. Dong Xiaoyuan is really very shallow-sighted. Living in the Ningsu Palace is not a very good thing! "

Yu He nodded and said: "It's still Mammy who thinks carefully, Deng Zhaoyi is very concerned about this child!"
