Chapter 351
Soon it was December, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Ning Qing was wearing thick clothes, and she didn't want to go out when she was alone at home.Only after Song Zhuo went down did he take her for a walk in the garden.
She was pregnant, and Song Zhuo slept with her all the time, and did not move to the study or other rooms.
Yingya waited until her neck grew long.
Since the news of Ning Qing's pregnancy came out, she has been looking forward to Song Zhuo's happiness every day.I also hope that Ning Qing will be magnanimous and will take the initiative to show her face when she can no longer serve Song Zhuo.Even if it's a concubine!
But she had been looking forward to it day after day, for three full months, Song Zhuo and Ning Qing hadn't moved yet.
She counted the days, now Ning Qing has been almost four months, although she can serve Song Zhuo, but after seven months she will not be able to!This would have to wait until Ning Qing confinement after giving birth. Some aristocratic men would usually wait at least half a year after the woman gave birth before she was willing to have intercourse until the woman was completely clean.
Then Ning Qing will not be able to have sex with Song Zhuo for at least a year.
In such a situation, isn't she ready yet?Or is someone already arranged?Is it Hui Ping or spring rolls?
Forget about the spring rolls, they are so ugly, they are more likely to be Zi Wan and Zi Lu!
Maybe these few have served Song Zhuo long ago, she just doesn't know!
The more Yingya thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and her heart became more and more anxious. She couldn't wait any longer, and she should take the initiative.
But she has served Song Zhuo for many years, and she knows Song Zhuo's character well. If he hadn't taken the initiative to look for her, she would end up like Xueyan back then.
Therefore, she could only attack Ning Qing.
It's a pity that since Ning Qing and Song Zhuo returned to the capital, Ning Qing has been surrounded by her maids, and no one else can get close.
Yingya had no choice but to seize the opportunity.
On this day, Ning Qing was taking a nap, and several maids happened to be out.The rest of the maids were let out to play, and only two second-class maids were watching.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Yingya walked in.The two second-class maids were startled, and asked one by one, "Sister Yingya, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing. I made a pair of little shoes, and I want to give them to the young master in the future." Yingya said.
"If you are interested, just leave it to me." The second-class maid said.
Just when Ning Qing woke up, she rubbed her eyes sleepily: "Hui Ping, my legs are numb..."
"Hui Ping went to the small kitchen to prepare porridge for the girl." The second maid said. "Let the servant..."
"My family has a secret massage recipe for numb feet." Yingya's eyes lit up, and she walked up as she spoke.
"Legs are numb, press..." Ning Qing muttered.
Yingya was overjoyed, and hurried over to sit on the bedside for Ning Qing to hold her. "Is the princess better?"
Ning Qing just woke up now, seeing that it was Yingya, she was taken aback.Then the whole person is bad.After Yingya kneaded for a while, she said, "It's ready."
"Maidservant give Shi Zifei a rub again." Yingya said with a smile.
"No, I have to get up." Ning Qing said.
The two second-class maids served Ning Qing for half a year, and they knew that Ning Qing didn't like Yingya at a glance, and then thought that Yingya was Song Zhuo's prepared concubine, so her attitude cooled down.
Yingya wanted to reach out to help, but two second-class maids had already come over: "Sister Yingya, go out first, we will wait for the crown prince to freshen up."
At this time, Huiping and Ziwan came back, and Yingya couldn't squeeze in even more.
Yingya also felt that Ning Qing didn't want to see her.Why don't you wait to see her? Naturally, I don't want to give her face as an aunt!Yingya felt aggrieved, her nose turned sore, she turned and went out.
When Song Zhuo came back later, before entering Biyun Pavilion, he knew that Yingya was approaching Ning Qing today.
He has always been very clear about Yingya's thoughts, and it will be sooner or later to dismiss her.
But when she just came back, she was too busy preparing for the big wedding. After the marriage, it was confirmed that Ning Qing was pregnant, and she was even busier.Yingya was almost forgotten.These two or three months have been more leisurely, but as soon as they got married, they dismissed Yingya, and their reputation was really bad.
Now this time is just right, he was about to cook her, but she couldn't hold it anymore unexpectedly.
Song Zhuo returned to the house and saw Ning Qing depressed, so he hugged her into his arms, kissed her first, and then touched her belly: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see Yingya today?"
Seeing that he mentioned it first, Ning Qing glared at him with pouted lips: "It's killing me."
"Cousin will send her away tonight." Song Zhuo rubbed against her shoulder. "The timing was not suitable before, because I was afraid that others would say about you."
"I'm not afraid of people talking about it." Ning Qing said, "It won't be long anyway. People will know that I'm a jealous woman sooner or later."
When Song Zhuo heard that she thought she was a jealous woman, she burst out laughing, feeling sweet in her heart, and pressed her little head into the socket of her shoulder, rubbing her head incessantly. "Okay, send it away immediately. My little jealous woman!"
After dinner, Ning Qing was crocheting. She wanted to make a little hat for the baby.
Song Zhuo went out.
Since returning to Beijing, Song Zhuo seldom went out at night, and stayed at home with Ning Qing unless there was business.
Before Song Zhuo went out, he specially called Yingya.
Yingya was overjoyed when she learned that Song Zhuo took her out.Both shy and excited.Song Zhuo never took her maid out, and she was the first one.
Yingya thought, maybe it was Song Zhuo who couldn't bear it anymore, and she went to Ning Qing today, her mind was unclear, and Song Zhuo knew it, so she wanted to ask her to wait on her.As for why she went outside, she didn't know.
It was snowing outside, Song Zhuo rode a horse, Yingya sat in the pony carriage, and occasionally lifted the curtain to see Song Zhuo in front of her, for a moment, she felt like a bride.The person in front of her was her groom, and she was not sitting in a carriage but a bridal sedan chair.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, we finally arrived at our destination, which is a very famous winery.
Song Zhuo brought Yingya up.Yingya was very happy to see this elegant winery, thinking that Song Zhuo treated her differently, so she actually brought her to such a good place.
After entering the wing room, Yingya was startled because there was someone in the room!And there are three!
One is Shen Chenggong, one is Song Ke, and the other is Prince Xiaomo.
Song Zhuo asked Yingya to sit aside. He only drank and chatted with Shen Chenggong and the others. After sitting for almost an hour, everyone dispersed.
Song Zhuo took Yingya downstairs.Seeing that Song Zhuo was not in the winery, Yingya was a little disappointed, a little baffled, and had a bad premonition in her heart.
It wasn't until they went downstairs that Song Zhuo said, "You know all three of them, right?"
"Of course." Yingya smiled and said, "One is the most important foreign surname king in our Tiansheng, one is the fourth prince, and the other is the county king of the princess mansion. They are all well-known figures in Beijing."
"You choose one of these three people. Be Shen Chenggong's concubine, or the fourth prince's concubine. You can also be Xiaomo's concubine." Song Zhuoyun said lightly.
Yingya heard the words as if struck by lightning, she couldn't believe it: "Your Highness, what did you say..."
"Be a concubine for Shen Chenggong or Xiao Mo! Be a concubine for the fourth prince! You choose one! You heard me right, this is not a joke." Song Zhuo's voice was slightly cold. "These three are my close friends. Shen Chenggong and the fourth brother are steady friends. Although Xiao Mo is a little messy, he is also someone who can be entrusted to him for life. Although you have been with me for a few years, there is nothing between you and me. There is only the relationship between master and servant. They all know it and accept it. They will not dislike you."
"Why..." Yingya burst into tears, these people are all first-class figures in Shangjing, it is not a loss for her to marry one of them, but she loves Song Zhuo.
"You don't have to ask why. This son will not take concubines in this life." Song Zhuo said coldly: "If you don't want these people, then this son will send you back to the Meng family."
Yingya's surname is Meng.She is the eldest daughter of Dr. Zhongsan, a civil official of the fifth rank.Yingya is already 21 years old. If she is sent back at this age, and she has been with Song Zhuo for several years, she is afraid that she will never be able to marry again, so she will have to go up the mountain to become a sister-in-law.
Song Zhuo didn't feel that he was unfeeling.But it's not her fault, he has already paved the way for her, and he has exhausted his benevolence, if she doesn't want to go, she can't blame him.
Yingya was struck by lightning when she heard his words.
She waited for so many years, and what she waited for was this ending!
She knew that Ning Qing was jealous a long time ago, but she didn't expect that she would be so jealous that she would kill her!
It must be because she went in today that Ning Qing let Song Zhuo kick her out!
Early the next morning, Yingya took the sign and went into the palace to look for Empress Dowager Jingren.
If she hadn't been driven to a dead end, she would never have complained to Empress Dowager Jingren, because she knew that Song Zhuo didn't like them going to the palace to file complaints.
Empress Dowager Jingren was talking about Ning Qing: "This girl hasn't been here for a long time."
Mother Qiu smiled and said, "Shizi Concubine's body is heavy, she's almost seven months old, she shouldn't move around."
"Ask Li De to send some supplements! The thousand-year-old Scrophulariaceae that I paid tribute to last time, send it to her!" Empress Dowager Jingren said.
"Your servant just delivered something there yesterday, and I have to run again today! You can drink the plum tea from Chenwang Mansion again!" Li De joked with a smile.
Empress Dowager Jingren glared at him feigning anger: "If I tell you to run an errand, you still want to eat this or something, your skin is itchy?"
"It's winter, you can't run without something to eat!" Li De laughed jokingly.
"Come on, take that plate of five plum cakes and stuff his mouth!"
Mother Qiu brought five plum cakes, and Li De ate them.Empress Dowager Jingren burst out laughing.
"Your Majesty, Miss Yingya is here." The maid outside said.
"Let her come in." The Empress Dowager Jingren said.
After a while, Yingya came in.She was a little haggard, her eyes were swollen from crying, she walked forward with a pale face, her voice was hoarse: "My maidservant pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."
He said and made a big gift.
Empress Dowager Jingren looked at her: "What's wrong with you? It's been a while since you entered the palace, and you cry when you come in, what's the matter?"
Yingya quickly apologized and said, "Your Highness, I want to give away my servant."
"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Jingren was taken aback, "Why did Zhuo'er send you away?"
"It's the imperial concubine..." Yingya bit her lips: "The imperial concubine can't tolerate slaves."
"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Jingren became angry when she heard her speak ill of Ning Qing, "You must have done something wrong, so she kicked you out!"
"Your Majesty, this servant is wronged!" Yingya said urgently: "Since Your Highness brought the Shizi Concubine back to Beijing, this servant has never had the chance to get close to her! Let alone after marriage! It is difficult for this servant to even look at her from a distance. Your Highness We were never allowed to get close to her, and His Highness never saw us. Let alone... openly as a concubine."
"What, haven't you served yet?" Empress Dowager Jingren frowned.Although Song Zhuo and Ning Qing hadn't moved yet, she always thought that Yingya had already served her.The reason why she hasn't been promoted as an aunt is probably because she has to wait for Ning Qing to give birth to her child.
"No." Yingya bit her lip and shook her head. "Yesterday, my servant passed away at Zifei's room. When I heard Shizifei say her legs were numb, I pressed her. In the evening, His Highness took this servant out, saying that he would give this servant to King Kang or the Fourth Prince."
Yingya burst into tears as she spoke.
Empress Dowager Jingren's complexion is not good.What she cares about is not Yingya, but Song Zhuo's concubine issue. "Li De, go and invite the eldest concubine into the palace."
Li De was stunned and had no choice but to back down.Who knows, he was the only one who came back half an hour later, with a livid face and said: "I can't get into the palace! The servant went to the Chen Palace, and he couldn't even enter the door of Biyunxuan! The guards outside said that the concubine is pregnant. , the body is a little weak recently, and no one will go out."
Empress Dowager Jingren only felt that her eyes were darkened, and she was very angry: "It's ridiculous! Song Zhuo must have stopped it on purpose!"
"Then we can only wait for the son to go to court, and talk to the son slowly." Qiu Nanny said.
"That bastard can listen? Look, now that he is on guard, he will still listen?" Empress Dowager Jingren said angrily.
The corner of Qiu Nanny's mouth twitched, since everyone knew that the son would not listen, then don't mention it!
"But the concubine is not invited into the palace at all." Qiu Nanny said.
Strong can't be used at all.One is that Song Zhuo is there to stop her, and the other is that Ning Qing is pregnant. If she struggles and something happens, what should I do?
"It's a big matter, we can't just leave them alone!" Empress Dowager Jingren thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "The Ai family went to find her personally!"
"Your Majesty, no!" Li De, Mother Qiu, and even Yingya were startled.
"What's wrong!" Empress Dowager Jingren raised her eyebrows, "It's been a long time since Ai's family has had a private visit in private! Li De, bring that ginseng with you."
Empress Dowager Jingren left the palace under the cover of Mother Qiu and Li De.
Ning Qing was knitting her little hat.Song Zhuo told her not to go out to play today, she was very obedient and did not go out.At most, take a walk in Biyunxuan.
The guards outside didn't allow Mother Qiu to wait in, but when they saw that it was Empress Dowager Jingren, they were all startled and couldn't stop them, so they had to let Empress Dowager Jingren in.
"Girl Qing." Empress Dowager Jingren walked into the room.
"Imperial Grandmother?" Ning Qing didn't expect Empress Dowager Jingren to leave the palace, she was shocked, got up quickly, and stepped forward: "Why did you leave the palace?"
"Cough...you haven't come in for a long time. Ai's house is a little boring. I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, so I came out for a walk." The Empress Dowager Jingren looked at her belly, smiled broadly, took her little hand and walked to the couch, letting her Sitting down: "Almost seven months."
"Yeah." Ning Qing touched her stomach.When he looked up, he suddenly saw Yingya, and his expression changed.
Empress Dowager Jingren saw her face in her eyes and frowned: "You are almost seven months old, and you can no longer serve Zhuo'er. It is not suitable to have intercourse within half a year after giving birth. It is time to take a concubine. Yingya is mourning." Gift from the family, good distance, and security, you should choose a good day to pick her up."
When Ning Qing heard this, her eye circles turned red, and she shook her head without thinking, "No."
Empress Dowager Jingren choked, she didn't expect her to be so direct, she refused without even going around the corner.
Yingya became anxious, and knelt down with a plop: "Concubine Shizi... I have known you concubine Shizi for a few years. I should know what kind of concubine Shizi is. Besides, this servant is inferior to you in terms of appearance, talent and fame! In my duty, I will never do anything to be jealous, I only hope that the crown prince will give this servant a title."
"Look, what an honest person." Empress Dowager Jingren was very satisfied with Yingya's confession. "And you have known each other for so many years, so you have an extra sister!"
Ning Qing still shook her head and said in a low voice, "No."
Yingya's heart fell to the bottom, she refused even in front of the Empress Dowager Jingren, and she burst into tears: "The concubine...the servant girl... If the concubine does not believe it, the servant can drink the sterilization medicine, so that she can stay and serve the concubine. "
Where are you serving me? You obviously want to serve my cousin.Ning Qing thought so and shook her head.
"Girl Qing, you can't be so jealous!" Empress Dowager Jingren looked cold, and finally sighed slightly: "Women should be tolerant! You will be an extra servant! Or you will have an extra kitten." Dog, if you like it, tease it, if you don't like it, leave it alone."
"I don't keep kittens or dogs." Ning Qing curled her lips.
Yingya's mind went blank, her eyes were filled with anxiety, and she looked at Queen Mother Jingren expectantly and imploringly.
"Then put her far away." Empress Dowager Jingren was a little annoyed by Ning Qing: "Put her in the West Courtyard, and she doesn't need to come to pay her respects, just treat her as dead. In fact, there is not much change from now .She doesn't come to you now, don't you live a happy life?"
Ning Qing still shook her head.
Yingya collapsed!Couldn't help but howl.
"Why are you crying! Get out!" Empress Dowager Jingren was furious.
Yingya had no choice but to stumble out.
Empress Dowager Jingren smiled wryly: "Well, you don't like her. You already have someone you like? Huiping, or Ziwan?"
Huiping and Ziwan on the side turned pale.
Ning Qing was very aggrieved by Queen Mother Jingren, so she said: "No. I will not give my cousin a concubine. My cousin is mine alone. My cousin also said that I will not take a concubine. I am the only one in this life. Otherwise, I will Don't follow him!"
Empress Dowager Jingren felt her eyes darken, and said in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about! It is the duty of a wife to take a concubine for her husband! Even if it is a jealous jar, if you don't give it to your husband, you can't stop your husband from taking a concubine, right?"
"I didn't stop him, he responded by himself." Ning Qing repeated: "If he should not me, I will not follow him! If he repents now, I will take the baby away. He won't let me Let’s go, I’ll climb onto his bed and castrate him before committing suicide.”
"You!" Empress Dowager Jingren only felt that Ning Qing's words were too shocking!For a moment, I was shocked so much that my head was ringing.And what else did she say?Castrated Song Zhuo? "Suicide, you don't even care about the child in your belly?"
"If I castrate him, he will become psychopathic. Will he let me go? Our mother and son will be reincarnated together. Maybe we can be mother and son again in the next life." Ning Qing seemed to have seen the scene, and wiped her tears.
Empress Dowager Jingren's eyes went dark again, and she was terrified for a moment, and she held back for a long time before she said: "You are like this, others will say you are jealous!"
"I'm a jealous woman, and I'm willing to listen to others telling the truth." Ning Qing said quite proudly.
Empress Dowager Jingren almost died of anger, there are still such women in the world! "Your reputation will be ruined!"
"Fame can't be eaten!" Ning Qing said: "If it is for the so-called fame, I will be cut by a knife, and I will have to smile for my husband to take a concubine, and to discuss my husband's marriage with other people. , I would rather not have this kind of reputation!"
"You..." Empress Dowager Jingren was speechless for a moment.
"Grandmother." At this time Song Zhuo walked in quickly.He was panting for breath, obviously rushing back.
"Cousin." Ning Qing burst into tears when she saw Song Zhuo.She was so wronged by the Empress Dowager Jingren that she wanted to pounce on her, begging for comfort.
Song Zhuo looked at Ning Qing, thinking of what she had suffered now, her heart ached, and regardless of Queen Mother Jingren, she walked over in three steps and hugged Ning Qing into her arms.Then he carried her into the inner room, put her on the bed, and kissed her again and again.
"Qingqing is obedient, cousin will solve it." Song Zhuo hugged her tightly and rubbed her little face: "Qingqing stay here, cousin told grandma."
Ning Qing nodded.
Song Zhuo kissed her on the brow and went out.He didn't ask Empress Dowager Jingren to speak elsewhere, because he knew that Ning Qing would be at ease only if Ning Qing listened to such matters.
"Grandmother, why did you leave the palace?" Song Zhuo asked.
Empress Dowager Jingren snorted coldly: "Ai's family is old, and they can't even summon their grandchildren and daughter-in-laws!"
"Let me make it clear now that I will not have a concubine. I promised when I brought her back that I would never take a concubine."
"Don't take concubines, how bad is this reputation? Not only do you say that she is a jealous woman, but you also say that you are afraid of internal affairs!" Empress Dowager Jingren said.
"She doesn't care about reputation anymore, do I still care?" Song Zhuo said: "And being afraid of guilt is not reflected in setting up a concubine. Who am I, Song Zhuo? Everyone knows! Even if others really think that I am afraid of guilt , let them talk! Anyway, I, Song Zhuo, are too good, how can I do without one or two shortcomings!"
Ning Qing inside couldn't help it, she burst out laughing, pointed to the outside, and whispered to Huiping: "How shameless!"
Song Zhuo has profound internal skills, so I heard it.The corner of her mouth twitched, bad girl, let's see how to deal with her later.
"You—" Empress Dowager Jingren was about to die of anger, "Even if you don't care about your reputation, you still have to take concubines."
"Why does the imperial grandmother have to let me take a concubine?" Song Zhuo said: "It's not that Qingqing can't have children, she has one in her stomach."
"In case the one born is a daughter!"
"What's wrong with my daughter? Is the emperor's grandmother planning to make my eldest son a concubine?"
"Of course not!"
"Then the emperor's grandmother likes the children of concubines?"
"Evil..." Empress Dowager Jingren curled her lips.As a concubine, she doesn't like any of them!Prince Chen is her most beloved son, but she hates Song Xian and Song Ren who are concubines, and even Princess Yuehe, she doesn't like it!
"Then it's over!" Song Zhuo said: "You only like the ones from the concubine. You don't like the ones from the concubine, so what's the use of being born? Since the concubine's house doesn't have children, what's the point of accepting them?"
Empress Dowager Jingren was speechless.After thinking for a long time, he said, "Grandmother misses you happy!"
"I'm not happy!" Song Zhuo's mouth twitched: "Not every man likes to take concubines!"
"Oh, you're wrong, every man likes it!"
"Then just treat me as an outlier."
Empress Dowager Jingren choked.
"Anyway, no matter what other people are, all men like it or not. Anyway, I don't like it." Song Zhuo said: "I want Qingqing to be enough. Grandmother remembers the dish I gave you when I first entered the palace when I returned to Beijing." Jujube cake?"
Empress Dowager Jingren choked again.
"Besides, Qingqing's reputation is already very good. I'm afraid that if it's too good, some people will dislike it. It's fine to have one or two shortcomings. Let her be a jealous woman!"
Empress Dowager Jingren shuddered.Ning Qing can be said to be in full swing, and almost the entire Tiansheng people think of her well.All day long, she keeps saying about the noble lady of destiny, and she is afraid that someone will say that the noble lady of destiny is ordered by the sky, and her mother respects the world.
Empress Xu and the Crown Princess were afraid that they could hardly hold back, and they were going to make a move.
Moreover, Ning Qing married Song Zhuo, Song Zhuo was a person with amazing talent and brilliant talent, a perfect match, no one would be intimidated.If the reputation of jealousy or fear of internal affairs spreads now, it can be buffered.
"As you like!" Empress Dowager Jingren snorted coldly, then turned around and walked out quickly.
Song Zhuo quickly caught up, mounted his horse, and personally sent Empress Dowager Jingren into the palace.
Back in the palace, Empress Dowager Jingren was still depressed.
Nanny Qiu and Li De have followed her for decades, so they can tell what she is thinking at a glance.
Mother Qiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it worth doing for Your Highness?"
"He is the son of Prince Chen!" Empress Dowager Jingren said angrily.
Here, men in every era have three wives and four concubines, and she thinks she knows men best.So he felt that a man with three wives and four concubines was happy, and she didn't want Song Zhuo to wrong herself for Ning Qing.Empress Dowager Jingren's mentality is legendary - there is a kind of cold called your mother thinks you are cold!
"Your Majesty, don't you like Shizi Concubine and think that Shizi Concubine is not good enough?" Mother Qiu said.
"Why don't I like her?" Empress Dowager Jingren said.
Whether it's Ning Qing's destiny as a noble daughter, Ning Qing's cute character, or Ning Qing's amazing talent.Empress Dowager Jingren was very satisfied, even pleasantly surprised, and felt that only someone like Ning Qing was worthy of Song Zhuo.
"I feel that with the appearance and talent of the concubine, not to mention being a concubine, even... is qualified!" Mother Qiu said: "It is difficult to find another woman like this in the world. If there is no She, the crown prince has to marry someone like Cheng Yuhua. Therefore, if you want to marry her, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price. The crown prince also said that if he hadn't promised her not to have a concubine, she would not have married the crown prince."
Empress Dowager Jingren was silent for a while.
"Your Majesty, think about it. Instead of marrying Ning Qing, marry an ordinary noble girl and have a bunch of concubines. Or just marry her. Compare it, which one is more cost-effective?" Qiu Nanny said.
Empress Dowager Jingren choked.In her opinion, Ning Qing alone is better than all the noble girls in Shangjing combined.Except for Ning Qing, there is no one in Shangjing who is worthy of Song Zhuo.
"You can't have both." Mother Qiu said, "And Master Yuanzhen also said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't worry too much about the lives of the son and concubine. The son has his own ideas. The tighter it is, the faster it flows.”
Empress Dowager Jingren was stunned, and immediately nodded: "The Ai family almost forgot." Then she sighed: "Come on, let them do whatever they like! The Ai family doesn't care!"
Empress Dowager Jingren leaned back on the imperial concubine chair, and remembered what Ning Qing said in the Prince Chen's mansion.
Suddenly remembered that when he was young, the first emperor welcomed newcomers after newcomers, and young and beautiful concubines one after another.At that time, she was smiling, but her heart was crying.The heart is cold inch by inch, and broken inch by inch.The so-called not caring, seeing through, are all forced.
She didn't recognize Ning Qing's words, but she envied Ning Qing's courage to be a jealous woman regardless of her reputation!
This kind of courage, she will never have in her life!
……
Song Zhuo had just settled down with Empress Dowager Jingren, and when he walked into Biyun Pavilion, Xiao Song came to report: "Your Highness, Uncle Jing is here."
Song Zhuo's eyebrows were slightly cold: "Well, please go to the side hall."
After Song changed his clothes, he came to Pianting and saw Uncle Jing Guo sitting there.He was the only one who came, without any other family members.
Uncle Jing Guo was wearing a dark black simple robe, with a gray beard and hair, and a thin and haggard face.No one could have guessed that this was the old, majestic, red-faced Duke Yasukuni.
"Grandfather." Song Zhuo walked in.
"You're here, Zhuo'er." Uncle Jing Guo's eyes lit up when he saw Song Zhuo, and he smiled: "Since you returned to Beijing, this is the first time our grandparents and grandchildren have met alone."
"I was too busy some time ago." Song Zhuo said.
Uncle Yasukuni nodded.When I first came back, I was rushing to get married. Later, Song Zhuo had a lot of business to deal with, and I only saw him once from a distance during the big wedding.
"I also knew that you came here recently when you were free." Uncle Jing Guo was silent as he spoke, and after a while he said, "I'm really sorry about the matter between Yuhua and your grandmother..."
"Don't mention it after it's over." Song Zhuo waved his hand.
"That's right." Uncle Jingguo nodded, his beard trembling slightly: "I also hope that you can find a good woman to marry. When you brought the eldest son back to Beijing, there were many difficulties. I originally wanted to do something for you, and wanted her to recognize you. Uncle Wu is a adoptive father. Although our family has fallen in the middle of nowhere and our reputation is not good, we are still nobles. Later, when the matter of the noble daughter of destiny happened, we were afraid that others would say that we were climbing up, so we would let it go. Now that we have What a great reputation! Facts have proved that Shizi Concubine is more than ten thousand times better than Yuhua."
"Don't compare back and forth, it's meaningless." Song Zhuo said.
Uncle Jingguo's face froze, and he said, "It's actually like this. Your two cousins haven't married yet. One is Yuxuan, the youngest daughter of your second uncle, and the other is Yuqin, the daughter of your fifth uncle. You are a concubine."
Song Zhuo's eyebrows turned cold: "I won't marry them. Grandfather should choose another son-in-law for them!"
Uncle Jing Guo was startled: "Zhuo'er, they are your cousins after all!"
Song Zhuo said: "The cousins of my son's direct relatives in Shangjing add up to dozens if not a hundred."
Uncle Jingguo's old face froze, and he felt even more chilling: "They don't ask for the position of wife, not even the position of side concubine or concubine, they just ask for a concubine! Now that the world is in full swing, how can we, Uncle Jingguo, be able to marry her? Bi, we don't want to do anything, just ask for a concubine."
"You don't want to do anything, why don't you marry someone decently, and you have to come here to be a concubine?" Song Zhuo didn't say anything.
Uncle Jingguo was sad and angry at the same time. He hoped that after Song Zhuo married Cheng Yuxuan and Cheng Yuqin, he would pull them out of Uncle Jingguo's mansion!You know, since that incident, their entire Yasukuni House has been completely defeated!A man cannot become an official, and a woman cannot marry a wealthy family!
The so-called family friends or relatives in the past suddenly fell apart.Not to mention how bleak it is!If there is no one to support the Yasukuni House, it will definitely disappear in Shangjing in the end!
Song Zhuo was the only one he wanted to rely on!Only Song Zhuo has that ability!Support Yasukuni House step by step.
"Are you so ruthless? Is that your maternal grandfather's family? I am your maternal grandfather! I am your biological mother's father! Uncle Jingguo's mansion is the root of your biological mother!" Uncle Jingguo couldn't help but burst into tears.
Song Zhuo was silent and kept silent.
Uncle Jingguo saw that he didn't answer, and his heart sank to the bottom: "I think back then, if your uncle hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, neither you nor Min'er would have survived! Although it's only natural for him to save his sister and nephew, it's true. Take your life to save him!"
It is only natural for his eldest son to save his sister and nephew, so isn't it also natural for Song Zhuo, as a nephew, to support his grandfather's family?Not to mention the one who risked his life to save him!
"There is also Yuhua... She has blocked wolves for you! She has blocked swords for you! Even though she is weak, she is not fake in saving her life!" Uncle Jing Guo said: "There is also the matter of retiring, Although it is rumored that you left because you knew about the incident, we all know whether it is true or not!"
"We don't ask for anything, it's just two concubines!" Uncle Jing Guo said: "We are my grandfather's family, so I beg you as my grandfather! Just help me!"
Uncle Jingguo was moved with emotion and understood with reason, but Song Zhuo, like a cold-blooded animal, did not respond at all.In the end, he only said coldly: "Needless to say. This son will not marry them, nor will he support the House of Uncle Jingguo. Qinghe, see off!"
After speaking, he turned around and left.
Looking at his heartless back, Uncle Jingguo seemed to have turned ten years old all of a sudden, lost his soul, as if his soul had been taken out!
Everyone in the Yasukuni House was waiting for his return.
His most beloved concubine, that is, the current son Cheng Xian, granddaughters Cheng Yuqin and Cheng Yuxuan.
Even Cheng Yuhua and Cheng Yuzhi were waiting for his news.
And the result is disappointing!Cheng Yuzhi's face was livid: "He is so unfeeling! He doesn't care about family at all!"
He has changed from a concubine to a concubine now, and his position as the son of the world has also been stripped.But he still looks forward to his cousin Cheng Yuxuan being sent in.Song Zhuo will support him again!After all, it was his own father who sacrificed his life to save Song Zhuo and Cheng Min!
"Song Zhuo! That beast!" Cheng Yuzhi roared angrily, wanting to rush out of the house.
In the past, Uncle Jing Guo kept him trapped and prevented him from going out to make trouble.Now, Cheng Yuzhi is going to make trouble, and Uncle Jing Guo will never stop him!
Song Zhuo is cold-blooded and heartless, and no longer recognizes their grandfather's family, why should he save face for him!It's better to break the jar and smash it. If they die, they will have to tear off a layer of his skin!
Cheng Yuzhi ran to the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion and yelled, saying that Song Zhuo was heartless and ungrateful, and that his grandfather's family had fallen, so he would not recognize his ancestors!If you marry a niece from your stepmother's family, you don't want to have your mother's family!The color makes the mind faint!
The main wife married is from the stepmother's family, and the first cousin of the biological mother's family can't do it if she wants to be a concubine!Cool by nature!
With snot and tears, he said that when his own father died to save Song Zhuo and Cheng Min, Cheng Yuhua saved his life twice, he paid it back once, but there was another one!Song Zhuo is ungrateful!
Don't mention how ugly the scolding is!The rumors outside are getting worse gradually!
No matter how bad the Jingguo Mansion is, it is also my grandfather's home!It was the crime of the former Duke and Mrs. Yasukuni!But it didn't hurt Song Zhuo, did it?Cheng Yuzhi's own father died to save his mother and child.Even if you don't marry those two cousins, what if you pull them out?
Ning Qing had a bad face when she heard the rumors outside.She knew that her cousin was not a heartless person.This is the ancestral home of the direct relatives, even if they don't marry those two cousins, they will promise to help.It was impossible to refuse so simply.
Ning Qing turned to look at Song Zhuo.I saw Song Zhuo's stunning appearance becoming more and more gloomy: "I originally wanted them to have a stable year, but they are going to bump into each other!"
He was startled as he spoke, and turned around to see Ning Qing looking at him eagerly.Afraid of scaring Ning Qing, he patted her head: "But scared?"
Ning Qing shook her head: "No."
"Hey, don't worry, the matter will be resolved soon." Song Zhuo took her into his arms and sighed slightly.
Early the next morning, when Song Zhuo entered the palace, all the officials looked at him with probing eyes.
Who knows, as soon as he came to court, Song Zhuo sued the Jingguo Mansion 12 years ago with a plot to kill him and the former concubine Cheng Min.
This news blew up the entire upper capital at once!
Even Empress Dowager Jingren rushed to the hall immediately after hearing the news: "What's going on?"
As we all know, it was Cheng Min, the former concubine of the Chen Dynasty, who advocated going to Shuangtuo Mountain for an outing.Later, I met Xiong Xiazi.At that time, Cheng Ji, the heir of the Duke of Yasukuni, died at the paw of the blind bear in order to save Cheng Min and Song Zhuo.
Cheng Min was also seriously injured.Later, Cheng Min's injuries were difficult to recover, and he stayed on the bed for a month, and finally passed away.Song Zhuo was only ten years old that year.
Everyone regards this incident as an accident.After all, the Jingguo Mansion has no reason to harm Song Zhuo's mother and son.
Cheng Min is Uncle Jingguo's direct daughter, and Song Zhuo is Uncle Jingguo's grandson.In the end, a Cheng Ji died!How could it be that Uncle Yasukuni murdered him?It's so unbelievable!
"Back then, I couldn't believe that my own grandparents would harm my daughter and grandson. But I intuitively felt that this matter was not easy! At that time, I was young, and although I had doubts, there was no evidence, and the grandparents of my first relatives were still there. The ancestors, so they didn’t make it public. Instead, they secretly asked someone to investigate.” Song Zhuo said: “The investigation lasted more than ten years, and I hope it’s not them! But I finally got all the evidence half a year ago.”
"I asked the internal affairs of Uncle Jingguo's mansion to find out the receipts that Uncle Jingguo spent a lot of money to buy anesthetics for bears, as well as a 'dead' maid of the concubine's mother at that time. That maid has always been the concubine's favorite. People, she was the one who encouraged our mother and concubine to go to Shuangtuo Mountain for an outing. Later, she protected our mother and son to leave, but she fell off the cliff. At that time, the mother and concubine was seriously injured, and I didn't care about her. Already 'dead'. I searched for her body at the bottom of the cliff, but found nothing."
As Song Zhuo said, he got the receipts and letters from Uncle Jing Guo for buying anesthetics.Emperor Yuande saw that it was really Uncle Jing's handwriting. The letter turned yellow and must have been stored for more than ten years!
"Quickly pass on Uncle Jing!" Emperor Yuande shouted coldly.
The eunuch immediately went out of the palace to deliver the decree.When Uncle Jing's mansion heard the news, everyone just felt a bang in their head, went blank, and looked at Uncle Jing in disbelief.
Uncle Jingguo was horrified, how could it be...
Cheng Yuzhi looked like a fool, it's impossible!Back then, his father had given up his life to save Song Zhuo, who would risk his own life just to murder his own sister and nephew!
Their family was obviously Song Zhuo's savior, how could they suddenly become murdered sinners?
Cheng Yuhua was dumbfounded, startled and startled, his mind went blank.
The soldiers pushed Uncle Yasukuni into the palace.And the maid whom Song Zhuo found also went to court.
(End of this chapter)
Soon it was December, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Ning Qing was wearing thick clothes, and she didn't want to go out when she was alone at home.Only after Song Zhuo went down did he take her for a walk in the garden.
She was pregnant, and Song Zhuo slept with her all the time, and did not move to the study or other rooms.
Yingya waited until her neck grew long.
Since the news of Ning Qing's pregnancy came out, she has been looking forward to Song Zhuo's happiness every day.I also hope that Ning Qing will be magnanimous and will take the initiative to show her face when she can no longer serve Song Zhuo.Even if it's a concubine!
But she had been looking forward to it day after day, for three full months, Song Zhuo and Ning Qing hadn't moved yet.
She counted the days, now Ning Qing has been almost four months, although she can serve Song Zhuo, but after seven months she will not be able to!This would have to wait until Ning Qing confinement after giving birth. Some aristocratic men would usually wait at least half a year after the woman gave birth before she was willing to have intercourse until the woman was completely clean.
Then Ning Qing will not be able to have sex with Song Zhuo for at least a year.
In such a situation, isn't she ready yet?Or is someone already arranged?Is it Hui Ping or spring rolls?
Forget about the spring rolls, they are so ugly, they are more likely to be Zi Wan and Zi Lu!
Maybe these few have served Song Zhuo long ago, she just doesn't know!
The more Yingya thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and her heart became more and more anxious. She couldn't wait any longer, and she should take the initiative.
But she has served Song Zhuo for many years, and she knows Song Zhuo's character well. If he hadn't taken the initiative to look for her, she would end up like Xueyan back then.
Therefore, she could only attack Ning Qing.
It's a pity that since Ning Qing and Song Zhuo returned to the capital, Ning Qing has been surrounded by her maids, and no one else can get close.
Yingya had no choice but to seize the opportunity.
On this day, Ning Qing was taking a nap, and several maids happened to be out.The rest of the maids were let out to play, and only two second-class maids were watching.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Yingya walked in.The two second-class maids were startled, and asked one by one, "Sister Yingya, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing. I made a pair of little shoes, and I want to give them to the young master in the future." Yingya said.
"If you are interested, just leave it to me." The second-class maid said.
Just when Ning Qing woke up, she rubbed her eyes sleepily: "Hui Ping, my legs are numb..."
"Hui Ping went to the small kitchen to prepare porridge for the girl." The second maid said. "Let the servant..."
"My family has a secret massage recipe for numb feet." Yingya's eyes lit up, and she walked up as she spoke.
"Legs are numb, press..." Ning Qing muttered.
Yingya was overjoyed, and hurried over to sit on the bedside for Ning Qing to hold her. "Is the princess better?"
Ning Qing just woke up now, seeing that it was Yingya, she was taken aback.Then the whole person is bad.After Yingya kneaded for a while, she said, "It's ready."
"Maidservant give Shi Zifei a rub again." Yingya said with a smile.
"No, I have to get up." Ning Qing said.
The two second-class maids served Ning Qing for half a year, and they knew that Ning Qing didn't like Yingya at a glance, and then thought that Yingya was Song Zhuo's prepared concubine, so her attitude cooled down.
Yingya wanted to reach out to help, but two second-class maids had already come over: "Sister Yingya, go out first, we will wait for the crown prince to freshen up."
At this time, Huiping and Ziwan came back, and Yingya couldn't squeeze in even more.
Yingya also felt that Ning Qing didn't want to see her.Why don't you wait to see her? Naturally, I don't want to give her face as an aunt!Yingya felt aggrieved, her nose turned sore, she turned and went out.
When Song Zhuo came back later, before entering Biyun Pavilion, he knew that Yingya was approaching Ning Qing today.
He has always been very clear about Yingya's thoughts, and it will be sooner or later to dismiss her.
But when she just came back, she was too busy preparing for the big wedding. After the marriage, it was confirmed that Ning Qing was pregnant, and she was even busier.Yingya was almost forgotten.These two or three months have been more leisurely, but as soon as they got married, they dismissed Yingya, and their reputation was really bad.
Now this time is just right, he was about to cook her, but she couldn't hold it anymore unexpectedly.
Song Zhuo returned to the house and saw Ning Qing depressed, so he hugged her into his arms, kissed her first, and then touched her belly: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see Yingya today?"
Seeing that he mentioned it first, Ning Qing glared at him with pouted lips: "It's killing me."
"Cousin will send her away tonight." Song Zhuo rubbed against her shoulder. "The timing was not suitable before, because I was afraid that others would say about you."
"I'm not afraid of people talking about it." Ning Qing said, "It won't be long anyway. People will know that I'm a jealous woman sooner or later."
When Song Zhuo heard that she thought she was a jealous woman, she burst out laughing, feeling sweet in her heart, and pressed her little head into the socket of her shoulder, rubbing her head incessantly. "Okay, send it away immediately. My little jealous woman!"
After dinner, Ning Qing was crocheting. She wanted to make a little hat for the baby.
Song Zhuo went out.
Since returning to Beijing, Song Zhuo seldom went out at night, and stayed at home with Ning Qing unless there was business.
Before Song Zhuo went out, he specially called Yingya.
Yingya was overjoyed when she learned that Song Zhuo took her out.Both shy and excited.Song Zhuo never took her maid out, and she was the first one.
Yingya thought, maybe it was Song Zhuo who couldn't bear it anymore, and she went to Ning Qing today, her mind was unclear, and Song Zhuo knew it, so she wanted to ask her to wait on her.As for why she went outside, she didn't know.
It was snowing outside, Song Zhuo rode a horse, Yingya sat in the pony carriage, and occasionally lifted the curtain to see Song Zhuo in front of her, for a moment, she felt like a bride.The person in front of her was her groom, and she was not sitting in a carriage but a bridal sedan chair.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, we finally arrived at our destination, which is a very famous winery.
Song Zhuo brought Yingya up.Yingya was very happy to see this elegant winery, thinking that Song Zhuo treated her differently, so she actually brought her to such a good place.
After entering the wing room, Yingya was startled because there was someone in the room!And there are three!
One is Shen Chenggong, one is Song Ke, and the other is Prince Xiaomo.
Song Zhuo asked Yingya to sit aside. He only drank and chatted with Shen Chenggong and the others. After sitting for almost an hour, everyone dispersed.
Song Zhuo took Yingya downstairs.Seeing that Song Zhuo was not in the winery, Yingya was a little disappointed, a little baffled, and had a bad premonition in her heart.
It wasn't until they went downstairs that Song Zhuo said, "You know all three of them, right?"
"Of course." Yingya smiled and said, "One is the most important foreign surname king in our Tiansheng, one is the fourth prince, and the other is the county king of the princess mansion. They are all well-known figures in Beijing."
"You choose one of these three people. Be Shen Chenggong's concubine, or the fourth prince's concubine. You can also be Xiaomo's concubine." Song Zhuoyun said lightly.
Yingya heard the words as if struck by lightning, she couldn't believe it: "Your Highness, what did you say..."
"Be a concubine for Shen Chenggong or Xiao Mo! Be a concubine for the fourth prince! You choose one! You heard me right, this is not a joke." Song Zhuo's voice was slightly cold. "These three are my close friends. Shen Chenggong and the fourth brother are steady friends. Although Xiao Mo is a little messy, he is also someone who can be entrusted to him for life. Although you have been with me for a few years, there is nothing between you and me. There is only the relationship between master and servant. They all know it and accept it. They will not dislike you."
"Why..." Yingya burst into tears, these people are all first-class figures in Shangjing, it is not a loss for her to marry one of them, but she loves Song Zhuo.
"You don't have to ask why. This son will not take concubines in this life." Song Zhuo said coldly: "If you don't want these people, then this son will send you back to the Meng family."
Yingya's surname is Meng.She is the eldest daughter of Dr. Zhongsan, a civil official of the fifth rank.Yingya is already 21 years old. If she is sent back at this age, and she has been with Song Zhuo for several years, she is afraid that she will never be able to marry again, so she will have to go up the mountain to become a sister-in-law.
Song Zhuo didn't feel that he was unfeeling.But it's not her fault, he has already paved the way for her, and he has exhausted his benevolence, if she doesn't want to go, she can't blame him.
Yingya was struck by lightning when she heard his words.
She waited for so many years, and what she waited for was this ending!
She knew that Ning Qing was jealous a long time ago, but she didn't expect that she would be so jealous that she would kill her!
It must be because she went in today that Ning Qing let Song Zhuo kick her out!
Early the next morning, Yingya took the sign and went into the palace to look for Empress Dowager Jingren.
If she hadn't been driven to a dead end, she would never have complained to Empress Dowager Jingren, because she knew that Song Zhuo didn't like them going to the palace to file complaints.
Empress Dowager Jingren was talking about Ning Qing: "This girl hasn't been here for a long time."
Mother Qiu smiled and said, "Shizi Concubine's body is heavy, she's almost seven months old, she shouldn't move around."
"Ask Li De to send some supplements! The thousand-year-old Scrophulariaceae that I paid tribute to last time, send it to her!" Empress Dowager Jingren said.
"Your servant just delivered something there yesterday, and I have to run again today! You can drink the plum tea from Chenwang Mansion again!" Li De joked with a smile.
Empress Dowager Jingren glared at him feigning anger: "If I tell you to run an errand, you still want to eat this or something, your skin is itchy?"
"It's winter, you can't run without something to eat!" Li De laughed jokingly.
"Come on, take that plate of five plum cakes and stuff his mouth!"
Mother Qiu brought five plum cakes, and Li De ate them.Empress Dowager Jingren burst out laughing.
"Your Majesty, Miss Yingya is here." The maid outside said.
"Let her come in." The Empress Dowager Jingren said.
After a while, Yingya came in.She was a little haggard, her eyes were swollen from crying, she walked forward with a pale face, her voice was hoarse: "My maidservant pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."
He said and made a big gift.
Empress Dowager Jingren looked at her: "What's wrong with you? It's been a while since you entered the palace, and you cry when you come in, what's the matter?"
Yingya quickly apologized and said, "Your Highness, I want to give away my servant."
"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Jingren was taken aback, "Why did Zhuo'er send you away?"
"It's the imperial concubine..." Yingya bit her lips: "The imperial concubine can't tolerate slaves."
"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Jingren became angry when she heard her speak ill of Ning Qing, "You must have done something wrong, so she kicked you out!"
"Your Majesty, this servant is wronged!" Yingya said urgently: "Since Your Highness brought the Shizi Concubine back to Beijing, this servant has never had the chance to get close to her! Let alone after marriage! It is difficult for this servant to even look at her from a distance. Your Highness We were never allowed to get close to her, and His Highness never saw us. Let alone... openly as a concubine."
"What, haven't you served yet?" Empress Dowager Jingren frowned.Although Song Zhuo and Ning Qing hadn't moved yet, she always thought that Yingya had already served her.The reason why she hasn't been promoted as an aunt is probably because she has to wait for Ning Qing to give birth to her child.
"No." Yingya bit her lip and shook her head. "Yesterday, my servant passed away at Zifei's room. When I heard Shizifei say her legs were numb, I pressed her. In the evening, His Highness took this servant out, saying that he would give this servant to King Kang or the Fourth Prince."
Yingya burst into tears as she spoke.
Empress Dowager Jingren's complexion is not good.What she cares about is not Yingya, but Song Zhuo's concubine issue. "Li De, go and invite the eldest concubine into the palace."
Li De was stunned and had no choice but to back down.Who knows, he was the only one who came back half an hour later, with a livid face and said: "I can't get into the palace! The servant went to the Chen Palace, and he couldn't even enter the door of Biyunxuan! The guards outside said that the concubine is pregnant. , the body is a little weak recently, and no one will go out."
Empress Dowager Jingren only felt that her eyes were darkened, and she was very angry: "It's ridiculous! Song Zhuo must have stopped it on purpose!"
"Then we can only wait for the son to go to court, and talk to the son slowly." Qiu Nanny said.
"That bastard can listen? Look, now that he is on guard, he will still listen?" Empress Dowager Jingren said angrily.
The corner of Qiu Nanny's mouth twitched, since everyone knew that the son would not listen, then don't mention it!
"But the concubine is not invited into the palace at all." Qiu Nanny said.
Strong can't be used at all.One is that Song Zhuo is there to stop her, and the other is that Ning Qing is pregnant. If she struggles and something happens, what should I do?
"It's a big matter, we can't just leave them alone!" Empress Dowager Jingren thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "The Ai family went to find her personally!"
"Your Majesty, no!" Li De, Mother Qiu, and even Yingya were startled.
"What's wrong!" Empress Dowager Jingren raised her eyebrows, "It's been a long time since Ai's family has had a private visit in private! Li De, bring that ginseng with you."
Empress Dowager Jingren left the palace under the cover of Mother Qiu and Li De.
Ning Qing was knitting her little hat.Song Zhuo told her not to go out to play today, she was very obedient and did not go out.At most, take a walk in Biyunxuan.
The guards outside didn't allow Mother Qiu to wait in, but when they saw that it was Empress Dowager Jingren, they were all startled and couldn't stop them, so they had to let Empress Dowager Jingren in.
"Girl Qing." Empress Dowager Jingren walked into the room.
"Imperial Grandmother?" Ning Qing didn't expect Empress Dowager Jingren to leave the palace, she was shocked, got up quickly, and stepped forward: "Why did you leave the palace?"
"Cough...you haven't come in for a long time. Ai's house is a little boring. I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, so I came out for a walk." The Empress Dowager Jingren looked at her belly, smiled broadly, took her little hand and walked to the couch, letting her Sitting down: "Almost seven months."
"Yeah." Ning Qing touched her stomach.When he looked up, he suddenly saw Yingya, and his expression changed.
Empress Dowager Jingren saw her face in her eyes and frowned: "You are almost seven months old, and you can no longer serve Zhuo'er. It is not suitable to have intercourse within half a year after giving birth. It is time to take a concubine. Yingya is mourning." Gift from the family, good distance, and security, you should choose a good day to pick her up."
When Ning Qing heard this, her eye circles turned red, and she shook her head without thinking, "No."
Empress Dowager Jingren choked, she didn't expect her to be so direct, she refused without even going around the corner.
Yingya became anxious, and knelt down with a plop: "Concubine Shizi... I have known you concubine Shizi for a few years. I should know what kind of concubine Shizi is. Besides, this servant is inferior to you in terms of appearance, talent and fame! In my duty, I will never do anything to be jealous, I only hope that the crown prince will give this servant a title."
"Look, what an honest person." Empress Dowager Jingren was very satisfied with Yingya's confession. "And you have known each other for so many years, so you have an extra sister!"
Ning Qing still shook her head and said in a low voice, "No."
Yingya's heart fell to the bottom, she refused even in front of the Empress Dowager Jingren, and she burst into tears: "The concubine...the servant girl... If the concubine does not believe it, the servant can drink the sterilization medicine, so that she can stay and serve the concubine. "
Where are you serving me? You obviously want to serve my cousin.Ning Qing thought so and shook her head.
"Girl Qing, you can't be so jealous!" Empress Dowager Jingren looked cold, and finally sighed slightly: "Women should be tolerant! You will be an extra servant! Or you will have an extra kitten." Dog, if you like it, tease it, if you don't like it, leave it alone."
"I don't keep kittens or dogs." Ning Qing curled her lips.
Yingya's mind went blank, her eyes were filled with anxiety, and she looked at Queen Mother Jingren expectantly and imploringly.
"Then put her far away." Empress Dowager Jingren was a little annoyed by Ning Qing: "Put her in the West Courtyard, and she doesn't need to come to pay her respects, just treat her as dead. In fact, there is not much change from now .She doesn't come to you now, don't you live a happy life?"
Ning Qing still shook her head.
Yingya collapsed!Couldn't help but howl.
"Why are you crying! Get out!" Empress Dowager Jingren was furious.
Yingya had no choice but to stumble out.
Empress Dowager Jingren smiled wryly: "Well, you don't like her. You already have someone you like? Huiping, or Ziwan?"
Huiping and Ziwan on the side turned pale.
Ning Qing was very aggrieved by Queen Mother Jingren, so she said: "No. I will not give my cousin a concubine. My cousin is mine alone. My cousin also said that I will not take a concubine. I am the only one in this life. Otherwise, I will Don't follow him!"
Empress Dowager Jingren felt her eyes darken, and said in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about! It is the duty of a wife to take a concubine for her husband! Even if it is a jealous jar, if you don't give it to your husband, you can't stop your husband from taking a concubine, right?"
"I didn't stop him, he responded by himself." Ning Qing repeated: "If he should not me, I will not follow him! If he repents now, I will take the baby away. He won't let me Let’s go, I’ll climb onto his bed and castrate him before committing suicide.”
"You!" Empress Dowager Jingren only felt that Ning Qing's words were too shocking!For a moment, I was shocked so much that my head was ringing.And what else did she say?Castrated Song Zhuo? "Suicide, you don't even care about the child in your belly?"
"If I castrate him, he will become psychopathic. Will he let me go? Our mother and son will be reincarnated together. Maybe we can be mother and son again in the next life." Ning Qing seemed to have seen the scene, and wiped her tears.
Empress Dowager Jingren's eyes went dark again, and she was terrified for a moment, and she held back for a long time before she said: "You are like this, others will say you are jealous!"
"I'm a jealous woman, and I'm willing to listen to others telling the truth." Ning Qing said quite proudly.
Empress Dowager Jingren almost died of anger, there are still such women in the world! "Your reputation will be ruined!"
"Fame can't be eaten!" Ning Qing said: "If it is for the so-called fame, I will be cut by a knife, and I will have to smile for my husband to take a concubine, and to discuss my husband's marriage with other people. , I would rather not have this kind of reputation!"
"You..." Empress Dowager Jingren was speechless for a moment.
"Grandmother." At this time Song Zhuo walked in quickly.He was panting for breath, obviously rushing back.
"Cousin." Ning Qing burst into tears when she saw Song Zhuo.She was so wronged by the Empress Dowager Jingren that she wanted to pounce on her, begging for comfort.
Song Zhuo looked at Ning Qing, thinking of what she had suffered now, her heart ached, and regardless of Queen Mother Jingren, she walked over in three steps and hugged Ning Qing into her arms.Then he carried her into the inner room, put her on the bed, and kissed her again and again.
"Qingqing is obedient, cousin will solve it." Song Zhuo hugged her tightly and rubbed her little face: "Qingqing stay here, cousin told grandma."
Ning Qing nodded.
Song Zhuo kissed her on the brow and went out.He didn't ask Empress Dowager Jingren to speak elsewhere, because he knew that Ning Qing would be at ease only if Ning Qing listened to such matters.
"Grandmother, why did you leave the palace?" Song Zhuo asked.
Empress Dowager Jingren snorted coldly: "Ai's family is old, and they can't even summon their grandchildren and daughter-in-laws!"
"Let me make it clear now that I will not have a concubine. I promised when I brought her back that I would never take a concubine."
"Don't take concubines, how bad is this reputation? Not only do you say that she is a jealous woman, but you also say that you are afraid of internal affairs!" Empress Dowager Jingren said.
"She doesn't care about reputation anymore, do I still care?" Song Zhuo said: "And being afraid of guilt is not reflected in setting up a concubine. Who am I, Song Zhuo? Everyone knows! Even if others really think that I am afraid of guilt , let them talk! Anyway, I, Song Zhuo, are too good, how can I do without one or two shortcomings!"
Ning Qing inside couldn't help it, she burst out laughing, pointed to the outside, and whispered to Huiping: "How shameless!"
Song Zhuo has profound internal skills, so I heard it.The corner of her mouth twitched, bad girl, let's see how to deal with her later.
"You—" Empress Dowager Jingren was about to die of anger, "Even if you don't care about your reputation, you still have to take concubines."
"Why does the imperial grandmother have to let me take a concubine?" Song Zhuo said: "It's not that Qingqing can't have children, she has one in her stomach."
"In case the one born is a daughter!"
"What's wrong with my daughter? Is the emperor's grandmother planning to make my eldest son a concubine?"
"Of course not!"
"Then the emperor's grandmother likes the children of concubines?"
"Evil..." Empress Dowager Jingren curled her lips.As a concubine, she doesn't like any of them!Prince Chen is her most beloved son, but she hates Song Xian and Song Ren who are concubines, and even Princess Yuehe, she doesn't like it!
"Then it's over!" Song Zhuo said: "You only like the ones from the concubine. You don't like the ones from the concubine, so what's the use of being born? Since the concubine's house doesn't have children, what's the point of accepting them?"
Empress Dowager Jingren was speechless.After thinking for a long time, he said, "Grandmother misses you happy!"
"I'm not happy!" Song Zhuo's mouth twitched: "Not every man likes to take concubines!"
"Oh, you're wrong, every man likes it!"
"Then just treat me as an outlier."
Empress Dowager Jingren choked.
"Anyway, no matter what other people are, all men like it or not. Anyway, I don't like it." Song Zhuo said: "I want Qingqing to be enough. Grandmother remembers the dish I gave you when I first entered the palace when I returned to Beijing." Jujube cake?"
Empress Dowager Jingren choked again.
"Besides, Qingqing's reputation is already very good. I'm afraid that if it's too good, some people will dislike it. It's fine to have one or two shortcomings. Let her be a jealous woman!"
Empress Dowager Jingren shuddered.Ning Qing can be said to be in full swing, and almost the entire Tiansheng people think of her well.All day long, she keeps saying about the noble lady of destiny, and she is afraid that someone will say that the noble lady of destiny is ordered by the sky, and her mother respects the world.
Empress Xu and the Crown Princess were afraid that they could hardly hold back, and they were going to make a move.
Moreover, Ning Qing married Song Zhuo, Song Zhuo was a person with amazing talent and brilliant talent, a perfect match, no one would be intimidated.If the reputation of jealousy or fear of internal affairs spreads now, it can be buffered.
"As you like!" Empress Dowager Jingren snorted coldly, then turned around and walked out quickly.
Song Zhuo quickly caught up, mounted his horse, and personally sent Empress Dowager Jingren into the palace.
Back in the palace, Empress Dowager Jingren was still depressed.
Nanny Qiu and Li De have followed her for decades, so they can tell what she is thinking at a glance.
Mother Qiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it worth doing for Your Highness?"
"He is the son of Prince Chen!" Empress Dowager Jingren said angrily.
Here, men in every era have three wives and four concubines, and she thinks she knows men best.So he felt that a man with three wives and four concubines was happy, and she didn't want Song Zhuo to wrong herself for Ning Qing.Empress Dowager Jingren's mentality is legendary - there is a kind of cold called your mother thinks you are cold!
"Your Majesty, don't you like Shizi Concubine and think that Shizi Concubine is not good enough?" Mother Qiu said.
"Why don't I like her?" Empress Dowager Jingren said.
Whether it's Ning Qing's destiny as a noble daughter, Ning Qing's cute character, or Ning Qing's amazing talent.Empress Dowager Jingren was very satisfied, even pleasantly surprised, and felt that only someone like Ning Qing was worthy of Song Zhuo.
"I feel that with the appearance and talent of the concubine, not to mention being a concubine, even... is qualified!" Mother Qiu said: "It is difficult to find another woman like this in the world. If there is no She, the crown prince has to marry someone like Cheng Yuhua. Therefore, if you want to marry her, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price. The crown prince also said that if he hadn't promised her not to have a concubine, she would not have married the crown prince."
Empress Dowager Jingren was silent for a while.
"Your Majesty, think about it. Instead of marrying Ning Qing, marry an ordinary noble girl and have a bunch of concubines. Or just marry her. Compare it, which one is more cost-effective?" Qiu Nanny said.
Empress Dowager Jingren choked.In her opinion, Ning Qing alone is better than all the noble girls in Shangjing combined.Except for Ning Qing, there is no one in Shangjing who is worthy of Song Zhuo.
"You can't have both." Mother Qiu said, "And Master Yuanzhen also said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't worry too much about the lives of the son and concubine. The son has his own ideas. The tighter it is, the faster it flows.”
Empress Dowager Jingren was stunned, and immediately nodded: "The Ai family almost forgot." Then she sighed: "Come on, let them do whatever they like! The Ai family doesn't care!"
Empress Dowager Jingren leaned back on the imperial concubine chair, and remembered what Ning Qing said in the Prince Chen's mansion.
Suddenly remembered that when he was young, the first emperor welcomed newcomers after newcomers, and young and beautiful concubines one after another.At that time, she was smiling, but her heart was crying.The heart is cold inch by inch, and broken inch by inch.The so-called not caring, seeing through, are all forced.
She didn't recognize Ning Qing's words, but she envied Ning Qing's courage to be a jealous woman regardless of her reputation!
This kind of courage, she will never have in her life!
……
Song Zhuo had just settled down with Empress Dowager Jingren, and when he walked into Biyun Pavilion, Xiao Song came to report: "Your Highness, Uncle Jing is here."
Song Zhuo's eyebrows were slightly cold: "Well, please go to the side hall."
After Song changed his clothes, he came to Pianting and saw Uncle Jing Guo sitting there.He was the only one who came, without any other family members.
Uncle Jing Guo was wearing a dark black simple robe, with a gray beard and hair, and a thin and haggard face.No one could have guessed that this was the old, majestic, red-faced Duke Yasukuni.
"Grandfather." Song Zhuo walked in.
"You're here, Zhuo'er." Uncle Jing Guo's eyes lit up when he saw Song Zhuo, and he smiled: "Since you returned to Beijing, this is the first time our grandparents and grandchildren have met alone."
"I was too busy some time ago." Song Zhuo said.
Uncle Yasukuni nodded.When I first came back, I was rushing to get married. Later, Song Zhuo had a lot of business to deal with, and I only saw him once from a distance during the big wedding.
"I also knew that you came here recently when you were free." Uncle Jing Guo was silent as he spoke, and after a while he said, "I'm really sorry about the matter between Yuhua and your grandmother..."
"Don't mention it after it's over." Song Zhuo waved his hand.
"That's right." Uncle Jingguo nodded, his beard trembling slightly: "I also hope that you can find a good woman to marry. When you brought the eldest son back to Beijing, there were many difficulties. I originally wanted to do something for you, and wanted her to recognize you. Uncle Wu is a adoptive father. Although our family has fallen in the middle of nowhere and our reputation is not good, we are still nobles. Later, when the matter of the noble daughter of destiny happened, we were afraid that others would say that we were climbing up, so we would let it go. Now that we have What a great reputation! Facts have proved that Shizi Concubine is more than ten thousand times better than Yuhua."
"Don't compare back and forth, it's meaningless." Song Zhuo said.
Uncle Jingguo's face froze, and he said, "It's actually like this. Your two cousins haven't married yet. One is Yuxuan, the youngest daughter of your second uncle, and the other is Yuqin, the daughter of your fifth uncle. You are a concubine."
Song Zhuo's eyebrows turned cold: "I won't marry them. Grandfather should choose another son-in-law for them!"
Uncle Jing Guo was startled: "Zhuo'er, they are your cousins after all!"
Song Zhuo said: "The cousins of my son's direct relatives in Shangjing add up to dozens if not a hundred."
Uncle Jingguo's old face froze, and he felt even more chilling: "They don't ask for the position of wife, not even the position of side concubine or concubine, they just ask for a concubine! Now that the world is in full swing, how can we, Uncle Jingguo, be able to marry her? Bi, we don't want to do anything, just ask for a concubine."
"You don't want to do anything, why don't you marry someone decently, and you have to come here to be a concubine?" Song Zhuo didn't say anything.
Uncle Jingguo was sad and angry at the same time. He hoped that after Song Zhuo married Cheng Yuxuan and Cheng Yuqin, he would pull them out of Uncle Jingguo's mansion!You know, since that incident, their entire Yasukuni House has been completely defeated!A man cannot become an official, and a woman cannot marry a wealthy family!
The so-called family friends or relatives in the past suddenly fell apart.Not to mention how bleak it is!If there is no one to support the Yasukuni House, it will definitely disappear in Shangjing in the end!
Song Zhuo was the only one he wanted to rely on!Only Song Zhuo has that ability!Support Yasukuni House step by step.
"Are you so ruthless? Is that your maternal grandfather's family? I am your maternal grandfather! I am your biological mother's father! Uncle Jingguo's mansion is the root of your biological mother!" Uncle Jingguo couldn't help but burst into tears.
Song Zhuo was silent and kept silent.
Uncle Jingguo saw that he didn't answer, and his heart sank to the bottom: "I think back then, if your uncle hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, neither you nor Min'er would have survived! Although it's only natural for him to save his sister and nephew, it's true. Take your life to save him!"
It is only natural for his eldest son to save his sister and nephew, so isn't it also natural for Song Zhuo, as a nephew, to support his grandfather's family?Not to mention the one who risked his life to save him!
"There is also Yuhua... She has blocked wolves for you! She has blocked swords for you! Even though she is weak, she is not fake in saving her life!" Uncle Jing Guo said: "There is also the matter of retiring, Although it is rumored that you left because you knew about the incident, we all know whether it is true or not!"
"We don't ask for anything, it's just two concubines!" Uncle Jing Guo said: "We are my grandfather's family, so I beg you as my grandfather! Just help me!"
Uncle Jingguo was moved with emotion and understood with reason, but Song Zhuo, like a cold-blooded animal, did not respond at all.In the end, he only said coldly: "Needless to say. This son will not marry them, nor will he support the House of Uncle Jingguo. Qinghe, see off!"
After speaking, he turned around and left.
Looking at his heartless back, Uncle Jingguo seemed to have turned ten years old all of a sudden, lost his soul, as if his soul had been taken out!
Everyone in the Yasukuni House was waiting for his return.
His most beloved concubine, that is, the current son Cheng Xian, granddaughters Cheng Yuqin and Cheng Yuxuan.
Even Cheng Yuhua and Cheng Yuzhi were waiting for his news.
And the result is disappointing!Cheng Yuzhi's face was livid: "He is so unfeeling! He doesn't care about family at all!"
He has changed from a concubine to a concubine now, and his position as the son of the world has also been stripped.But he still looks forward to his cousin Cheng Yuxuan being sent in.Song Zhuo will support him again!After all, it was his own father who sacrificed his life to save Song Zhuo and Cheng Min!
"Song Zhuo! That beast!" Cheng Yuzhi roared angrily, wanting to rush out of the house.
In the past, Uncle Jing Guo kept him trapped and prevented him from going out to make trouble.Now, Cheng Yuzhi is going to make trouble, and Uncle Jing Guo will never stop him!
Song Zhuo is cold-blooded and heartless, and no longer recognizes their grandfather's family, why should he save face for him!It's better to break the jar and smash it. If they die, they will have to tear off a layer of his skin!
Cheng Yuzhi ran to the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion and yelled, saying that Song Zhuo was heartless and ungrateful, and that his grandfather's family had fallen, so he would not recognize his ancestors!If you marry a niece from your stepmother's family, you don't want to have your mother's family!The color makes the mind faint!
The main wife married is from the stepmother's family, and the first cousin of the biological mother's family can't do it if she wants to be a concubine!Cool by nature!
With snot and tears, he said that when his own father died to save Song Zhuo and Cheng Min, Cheng Yuhua saved his life twice, he paid it back once, but there was another one!Song Zhuo is ungrateful!
Don't mention how ugly the scolding is!The rumors outside are getting worse gradually!
No matter how bad the Jingguo Mansion is, it is also my grandfather's home!It was the crime of the former Duke and Mrs. Yasukuni!But it didn't hurt Song Zhuo, did it?Cheng Yuzhi's own father died to save his mother and child.Even if you don't marry those two cousins, what if you pull them out?
Ning Qing had a bad face when she heard the rumors outside.She knew that her cousin was not a heartless person.This is the ancestral home of the direct relatives, even if they don't marry those two cousins, they will promise to help.It was impossible to refuse so simply.
Ning Qing turned to look at Song Zhuo.I saw Song Zhuo's stunning appearance becoming more and more gloomy: "I originally wanted them to have a stable year, but they are going to bump into each other!"
He was startled as he spoke, and turned around to see Ning Qing looking at him eagerly.Afraid of scaring Ning Qing, he patted her head: "But scared?"
Ning Qing shook her head: "No."
"Hey, don't worry, the matter will be resolved soon." Song Zhuo took her into his arms and sighed slightly.
Early the next morning, when Song Zhuo entered the palace, all the officials looked at him with probing eyes.
Who knows, as soon as he came to court, Song Zhuo sued the Jingguo Mansion 12 years ago with a plot to kill him and the former concubine Cheng Min.
This news blew up the entire upper capital at once!
Even Empress Dowager Jingren rushed to the hall immediately after hearing the news: "What's going on?"
As we all know, it was Cheng Min, the former concubine of the Chen Dynasty, who advocated going to Shuangtuo Mountain for an outing.Later, I met Xiong Xiazi.At that time, Cheng Ji, the heir of the Duke of Yasukuni, died at the paw of the blind bear in order to save Cheng Min and Song Zhuo.
Cheng Min was also seriously injured.Later, Cheng Min's injuries were difficult to recover, and he stayed on the bed for a month, and finally passed away.Song Zhuo was only ten years old that year.
Everyone regards this incident as an accident.After all, the Jingguo Mansion has no reason to harm Song Zhuo's mother and son.
Cheng Min is Uncle Jingguo's direct daughter, and Song Zhuo is Uncle Jingguo's grandson.In the end, a Cheng Ji died!How could it be that Uncle Yasukuni murdered him?It's so unbelievable!
"Back then, I couldn't believe that my own grandparents would harm my daughter and grandson. But I intuitively felt that this matter was not easy! At that time, I was young, and although I had doubts, there was no evidence, and the grandparents of my first relatives were still there. The ancestors, so they didn’t make it public. Instead, they secretly asked someone to investigate.” Song Zhuo said: “The investigation lasted more than ten years, and I hope it’s not them! But I finally got all the evidence half a year ago.”
"I asked the internal affairs of Uncle Jingguo's mansion to find out the receipts that Uncle Jingguo spent a lot of money to buy anesthetics for bears, as well as a 'dead' maid of the concubine's mother at that time. That maid has always been the concubine's favorite. People, she was the one who encouraged our mother and concubine to go to Shuangtuo Mountain for an outing. Later, she protected our mother and son to leave, but she fell off the cliff. At that time, the mother and concubine was seriously injured, and I didn't care about her. Already 'dead'. I searched for her body at the bottom of the cliff, but found nothing."
As Song Zhuo said, he got the receipts and letters from Uncle Jing Guo for buying anesthetics.Emperor Yuande saw that it was really Uncle Jing's handwriting. The letter turned yellow and must have been stored for more than ten years!
"Quickly pass on Uncle Jing!" Emperor Yuande shouted coldly.
The eunuch immediately went out of the palace to deliver the decree.When Uncle Jing's mansion heard the news, everyone just felt a bang in their head, went blank, and looked at Uncle Jing in disbelief.
Uncle Jingguo was horrified, how could it be...
Cheng Yuzhi looked like a fool, it's impossible!Back then, his father had given up his life to save Song Zhuo, who would risk his own life just to murder his own sister and nephew!
Their family was obviously Song Zhuo's savior, how could they suddenly become murdered sinners?
Cheng Yuhua was dumbfounded, startled and startled, his mind went blank.
The soldiers pushed Uncle Yasukuni into the palace.And the maid whom Song Zhuo found also went to court.
