Queen's scheming

Chapter 4
Shen Qingyi kept Yumei and Yuju in the palace, and only wanted them to wait in the palace to serve the second young lady, Shen Qingwan. The two of them did not suspect him, thinking that it was because Shen Qingyi valued her two, they were happy Yes.

After spending three days peacefully in Huangjue Temple, after eating the vegetarian diet on the third day, the queen mother took Shen Qingyi's hand, the originally soft and plump fingers felt a little uncomfortable in the hand, the queen mother sighed and comforted her. He said, "Let's just expose the matter of the little prince. You take good care of your body. The Ai family is still counting on you to give birth to a dragon heir. If you are so worried all day long, it will be bad if you lose your health." The Empress Dowager really felt sorry for Shen Qingyi, and it is said that the Empress Dowager was also unable to conceive because of the loss of her health after giving birth to Li Tianyou.Now that Shen Qingyi has lost her health before giving birth to the dragon heir, according to the imperial physician's report, it may be very difficult to have children in the future.

Shen Qingyi caressed the dark brown Fu Lu Shou Su embroidery patterns on the sleeves of the Empress Dowager, and slowly leaned against the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is only in her 30s this year, perhaps because of her long-term worship to Buddha, she is dignified and elegant, always surrounded by a sense of motherhood, Shen Qingyi couldn't help being close to someone who lacked maternal love since childhood.It's just that this trip to Huangjue Temple was deliberately used by Shen Qingyi to use the Queen Mother.

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true, the concubine took it down." Shen Qingyi said politely.The moon-white opal falling under the ear is shining coldly. Does a male fetus that has already formed just peel it off?It would be fine if it was a natural disaster, but it happened to be a man-made disaster.Shen Qingyi will not let those people go, not even one.

The Empress Dowager gently pulled Shen Qingyi's broken hair behind her ears, and said, "Don't be perfunctory." The Empress Dowager glanced at Shen Qingyi's moon-white, clean face, four-happiness pattern and colorful makeup, and said, "You Not only a mother, but also the queen of our Dali Kingdom. You feel sorry for your unborn son. You haven’t left the gate of the Lengsu Palace for two months. Both the family and the emperor feel pity for you. Those old men in the hall are not easy to get along with, and we royal people don't have time to hide in the corner and be sad."

Shen Qingyi looked up at the queen mother, the queen mother's eyes were full of perseverance and love, Shen Qingyi lowered her head silently, her fingertips embedded in her palm, the slight tingling pain reminded Shen Qingyi how wrong she was at the beginning, relying on The love of everyone, never thought about her duty as a country, her heartless and straightforward temperament every day, everything is done according to her preferences, she will praise the person she likes to the sky, and she will Shen Qingyi if she doesn't like it She can't even blink an eyelid, such a queen, even if Shen Qingwan didn't show up, someone else would drag her off that seat.But from today, everything will be different.With Shen Qingyi alive in Dali Kingdom for a day, no one can take the queen's seat away.Shen Qingwan!Don't talk about the pre-term child she Shen Qingyi gave birth to, just say that this formed male fetus is enough for her to die thousands of times.It's just that everything is immature now, what she wants is not Shen Qingwan's death, not Feng Guogong's death, she wants them to live, life is worse than death, she wants them to suffer every day in this world, yes every day!To achieve all this, all Shen Qingyi can do now is to be patient and plan step by step.

Looking up again, Shen Qingyi with a warm smile, said obediently, "What is the condition of the concubine's body, the concubine's own size is also clear, and before leaving the palace, I welcomed the concubine's second sister into the palace, now that I think about it, it's not a bad idea." It is somewhat inappropriate. It is said that the concubine and the emperor have only been married for one year, so it is not suitable for the draft, but considering the royal blood, the concubine thinks it is better to bring a few more people into the palace."

The queen mother glanced at Shen Qingyi. The women in the harem pride themselves on being virtuous, but which woman is willing to have more people to compete with her? Since Shen Qingyi entered the palace, she can almost be called the most favored in the harem. The emperor only needs to treat others If the concubines were a little better, Shen Qingyi would lose her temper for a few days, so the concubines in the harem complained a lot.Earlier, he brought his younger sister into the palace because he thought that after she gave birth to the emperor's heir, it would be under his own name. Although Shen Qingwan came from the second wife, she was a family of sisters after all, with broken bones and tendons still connected. , naturally she is more intimate than other people, so regarding Shen Qingwan's entry into the palace, the Queen Mother turned a blind eye and didn't say anything.But at this moment, Shen Qingyi actually wants to carry someone into the palace, and it's not a draft, the meaning behind the words is that she was selected from several other duke's mansions, but the young lady who came out of the duke's mansion, because of her family background, Sooner or later, she will become a concubine. If Shen Qingyi does this, isn't she afraid that she will fall out of favor?
The queen mother stared at Shen Qingyi for a while, did this miscarriage really make Shen Qingyi change her temperament?The queen mother saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so she thought about it and said, "You mean to pick someone from the Duke's mansion? But there are no young ladies of the right age."

The Empress Dowager's words are indeed true. When Shen Qingyi and Mi Yurou were chosen as successors, only Shen Qingyi and Mi Yurou were about the same age. Shen Qingwan was three years younger than Qing Yi, and this year she was about thirteen. It was already a reluctance to enter the palace at this time. , I have to say that the Fengguo government is too impatient, so rushing to send his other daughter into the palace to consolidate his family's position, isn't it afraid that Li Tianyou will be suspicious?
Let's not mention the family affairs of the Shen residence.Shen Qingyi was stunned for a long while, the suet jade hollowed out and inlaid with colorful glass beads step by step lotus tassel hairpin was shaking beside her ears, making a rustling sound, like weeping, then raised her head, Shen Qingyi smiled warmly, and said, "Fuguo Gong!" The mansion and the Fengguo mansion are really not suitable, not to mention the Yangguo mansion. The only young lady is only three years old, but the concubine heard that there is a former empress's sister in the Zhenguo mansion who is always waiting for her. boudoir?"

The empress dowager was taken aback for a moment, obviously she did not expect Shen Qingyi to mention this person, after all, she was the real sister of the former empress, how would she get along with Shen Qingyi, the successor, if she entered the palace, the empress dowager looked at Shen Qingyi suspiciously, could it be possible This miscarriage Shen Qingyi still hurt her brain, no one would bring such a hot potato into the palace.The queen mother thought so, then hesitated and said, "This Ai family knows that the girl is indeed in the government of Zhen Guo. She is seventeen this year and is one year older than you. When the queen was here, she was originally appointed as the Marquis of Zhongshan. The young master of the mansion, but he did not expect that the young master passed away due to illness. In fact, the young master was weak and had nothing to do with the girl, but the Mrs. Zhongshan Hou was a bastard, so she said That girl had a hard life, and killed her own son. Although some people came to propose marriage later, the high-ranking and wealthy families were afraid of this. Those who could come to the door either wanted to curry favor with the Duke of Zhen, marry back and make offerings, or As the stepwife, that girl has a stubborn temper, how can she bear this, after making a fuss in the meeting hall of Duke Zhen's mansion, no one dares to come to the door again."

Shen Qingyi smiled sweetly, she went out of the palace with the Queen Mother, and the purpose was this stubborn Miss Zhen Guo Gongfu, and hurriedly said, "The concubine has heard of the late empress's virtuous name, and her sister who is a direct relative is no different. After all, the Duke’s Mansion is the mother’s family of the former empress, and there is no reason for the world to criticize it so much. If the Queen Mother agrees, the concubine will drop by the Duke’s Mansion when she returns to the palace this afternoon.”

At this moment, the Empress Dowager firmly believed that Shen Qingyi really wanted to pick someone for Li Tianyou, she held Shen Qingyi's hand and did not let go, and comforted her, "As expected, the Ai family did not misunderstand the person. I saw what you have done in the past two months, the Ai family Still a little disappointed." The Empress Dowager lovingly took the tourmaline bracelet off her wrist into Qing Yi's hands, and said cordially, "This bracelet is the dowry for the marriage between the Ai family and the first emperor. It has been with the Ai family for many years. It is hard for you to get over this grief. When you come out, the first thing you think about is the emperor."

Shen Qingyi smiled gently, "As the Empress Dowager said, the emperor is not only the husband of his concubines, but also the son of the emperor. The concubines must do their duty for the continuation of the royal bloodline. It's just..." Shen Qingyi was a little embarrassed He looked at the queen mother, "I don't know if the queen mother might go with the concubines?"

The queen mother is so wise, but she figured it out in a flash, patted Qing Yi's hand and said, "The younger sister in your mansion has just entered the palace, and you have found another daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, will you let Mrs. I feel uncomfortable, even though you are the queen now, there is no reason for the royal family to put you in a dilemma, so why not, Aijia will go through this for you, and no one can find a reason."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your understanding. The young lady of the Duke of Zhen entered the palace a few days later than the second sister of the concubine, but after all, she is the former empress's direct sister, so there is no reason for people to belittle her. What the concubine means is I don't know if it's appropriate for the Empress Dowager to enter the palace as a noble concubine of the third rank and hold the lordship of the palace?" Shen Qingyi asked softly.

"Is this wronging you too much?" The queen mother hesitated.

"Where can you say that you are wronged? Speaking of concubines, they are the successor queens, and they are incomparable with the previous queens. Moreover, the second sister of the concubine is born of the stepmother. The concubine's younger sister is incomparable, three things, the younger sister of the concubine has already entered the palace first, if you don't take care of this, wouldn't it be cold to Duke Zhen's heart?" Shen Qingyi insisted, looking for it for Shen Qingwan. How could she feel wronged by an equal opponent?She wanted Shen Qingwan to have a taste of the battle in the deep palace first. In her previous life, Shen Qingwan had her care, but she didn't have such a wonderful experience.

After thinking about it, she thought about the first sister of the first empress. In her previous life, she remembered very clearly that this younger sister of the first empress was named Tang Aoxue, but she was very proud. Seeing that she was getting older, Duke Zhen ignored her. Due to her own objection, she was forced to match her with a marriage of the Marquis's Mansion, just as a second wife to fill in the house. Tang Aoxue couldn't bear this humiliation, so she found her own way of death that night.It has to be said that Shen Qingyi admired such a strong woman, with such an opponent, her weak second sister would also have a headache for a while.

The Empress Dowager didn't know what Shen Qingyi was thinking, she just felt that such actions could win over the Duke of Zhenguo, so she felt more and more satisfied, and said, "Don't worry, no matter who enters the palace, the Ai Family and the Emperor will not treat you poorly, any No one can surpass you." The Empress Dowager patted Shen Qingyi's hand lovingly, and said seriously.

　I’m working hard, thank you for your encouragement (*^__^*)
