The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 62

Thinking of the current situation in the palace, Chang'an also hated it, why the mother couldn't give birth to a son.The concubines in the palace were rarely pregnant, but in the past few years, they often had miscarriages within a few months of pregnancy.She knew that those concubines in the palace fought fiercely. At first, she thought that other low-ranking concubines would be pregnant and raised by her mother's side. If she had a son, she would have the capital to compete with Concubine De and the prince. Now It's such a precarious situation...

Chang An glanced at the queen's belly, but he still had no hope in the end, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and with a move in his heart, he whispered a few words in the queen's ear.

The queen hesitated, "Is this okay? If it is discovered, it would be a serious crime to confuse Longzi..."

Changan sneered, "As long as the mother is careful, how did you find out? At that time, as long as the imperial doctor and midwife are arranged, as long as the arrangements are made, this matter will definitely be done. Does the mother want to watch the crown prince take the position and put us under pressure?" Is it in the mud? If the crown prince really takes over, Concubine De will not like us long ago, and she will kill us sooner or later, queen mother, you have to think clearly, you must have a prince by your side."

The queen's expression gradually became firm, "Then as you said, no matter what, there must always be a prince by your side." Sighing, she continued, "Speaking of which, my sister-in-law can give me the secret recipe. I also gave birth to you back then. It was difficult to give birth at the time, and the root cause of the disease has fallen. After these years of raising it, it is almost healed, but it has never been conceived, but the woman insisted on the prescription and refused to give it."

Chang'an said, "My queen, I'm afraid that Fu Guogong's wife doesn't have a prescription. If so, why did she give birth to only one son and not give birth? Why do you think there are too many sons? The queen just listens to me."

The queen stroked Chang'an's bun, "Good boy, I just hope that it will work..." She still hesitated.

The girls of the Rong family got into the carriage and left the palace. Baozhu hummed comfortably, stopped sitting upright, took off her cloak and leaned against a soft pillow, drank another big mouthful of tea, and sighed comfortably. Take a breath.

Haizhu laughed and said, "Look at how thirsty you are, even if you drink water in the palace, they won't say anything about you."

Baozhu put down the glass, "Who dares to drink water, but if the skin is whiter, I will be ridiculed by that girl." The voice paused, and Baozhu asked curiously, "Who is that girl? I think she is the most flattering The princess." In the end, she was humiliated by the princess, and spread among the honored family, and the embarrassment was embarrassing to death, and it might even affect her marriage.

Haizhu snorted twice, "It's just a down and out family. Seventh sister has heard of Uncle Zhongshan. Just like Zhongyi Bosheng's family, they were all involved in the case of corruption and perverting the law. It's down and out, unlike today's Loyal Lord Bo Sheng and the children of the Sheng family who are all capable, the Sheng family has slowly grown up. But the children of the Bolin family in Zhongshan are not good, the son is a dude, and the daughter is not good. She can only flatter the princess, but based on her family background, where would she be invited into the palace? Wouldn't she know how to flatter her? Palace."

Baozhu was not familiar with Bolin's family in Zhongshan, nor did she know the round-faced girl, so she only enviously said, "Why don't I try to flatter a horse's leg, so that I don't have to enter the palace in the future."

Mingzhu smiled and said, "Stop thinking about it, Princess Chang'an has lost such a big face this time, I'm afraid she won't let us enter the palace for a long time in the future, so we can live in peace for a while." Who wants to spend the whole day Going into the palace to flatter the princess, almost all the girls in their Rong family pretended to be sick to avoid the princess's post.

The girls returned to Rongfu while talking and laughing.

After hearing Ziqian's report, the King of Shu in the palace said in a low voice, "Let Bizhen watch carefully, don't cause any trouble."

Ziqian said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Crown Prince believes in Bizhen wholeheartedly, and the eunuch is fine. Your Highness, in fact, you don't have to blame yourself at all. The Crown Prince has nothing to do with you. In the final analysis, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager favor you." If it came out, even without your medicine, his life would be ruined. How can such a person be able to enter the elegant hall? Besides, Master Fenghua has already quietly started to arrange it outside. One day, he can regain his highness your stuff."

The king of Shu was silent. In the past few years, he already knew how his father died. It was an old eunuch beside his father who told him, and even told him that the first emperor had drafted an imperial decree to let him inherit the throne. Before it was read out, he was killed by the queen mother and the emperor, and the imperial edict was quietly handed over to him by the old eunuch.

The king of Shu knew that it was not the right time, so what if he took out the imperial decree, he had no connections, no military strength, no financial resources, how could he fight against the emperor and queen mother.

Ziqian continued, "Your Highness, I heard that today the princess is entertaining female guests, and she met the crown prince in the imperial garden, and the seventh girl from the Rong family happened to be in the middle, so it doesn't matter where the crown prince is?"

The King of Shu raised his eyes, "It doesn't matter. Bizhen's medicine is used up. From then on, you don't have to worry about the prince. He is already eleven or twelve years old, his temperament has been developed, and he will be limited in what he can do in the future. If you have to worry about other things, let him do it."

Ziqian said again, "Your Highness, you really want to marry a girl from the Zhang family. If you don't want to, I will have my own way to ruin this marriage."

"No need." King Shu said calmly, "It doesn't matter who it is."

Baozhu returned to the Rong Mansion, and in the evening, the children of the fourth room accompanied Mrs. Cen and the fourth master Rong to eat. Rong Yuanlu seemed in a good mood, and even ate an extra bowl of dinner. Baozhu smiled, "Daddy, do you have a meal?" Are you happy?"

Rong Yuanlu put the bowl away and asked the servant girl to clean up the things, then he took his daughter and sat on the low couch next to him, and said with a smile, "Dad really has a happy event, the paperwork for today's appointment has come down, everyone in the house should Got it, in a few days the Ministry of Officials will officially announce the date of taking office."

Baozhu was overjoyed, "Daddy is the best!"

The other sons and daughters also congratulated Rong Yuanlu, and Rong Yuanlu felt extremely happy. After staying in the Imperial Academy for so many years, he finally has such a substantial position, and it will be much easier in the future.

Mrs. Cen is also happy. Now the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, Mr. Rong is the right servant of the military department, the second master is still in the Hanlin Academy, and the third master is also in a idle position. Now her master is also going to join the official department. After the family was separated, the four of them were able to survive.

Cen said with a smile, "Do you plan to invite your colleagues to the mansion for a banquet?"

Rong Yuanlu smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after it's officially settled. There's no rush now."

Rong Sifang was happy and smiling, but the Duke's room was full of crying, Wan Niang pulled the Duke and cried miserably, "Master, you have to think about Yuanshou, how much is he in the Imperial Academy now?" It's been a year, and this is still a waiting edict from the ninth rank, but Yuanlu is already ready to take up a post in the Ministry of Officials, master, you can go and talk to the fourth brother, and give this position to his second brother."

The Duke still prefers the second son in his heart, but he is still a little ashamed to mention the matter of grabbing an official position from the fourth son, "Nonsense, this is planned by the bureaucrats, how can you just ask for it?" If you ask for it, who made the second child not live up to himself, how could he snatch his own brother's official position? The only thing to blame is his incompetence!"

"Master." Wan Niang wiped away her tears, and looked at Rong Jiang pitifully, "I have just been around the master all my life. When the master went to the military camp, the concubine stayed by the old ancestor's side to wait on you. When you come back after you become famous , I married my wife, I didn't say much, I'm still willing to wait for you, willing to be a concubine, I don't ask for anything, I and the master are just a child like Yuanshou, I don't want to see him depressed, now I just ask the master to give Yuanshou a chance. My wife has three children, Yuanfu, Yuanxi and Yuanlu. Yuanfu is the eldest son and is still serving in the Ministry of War. Yuanxi also has a position. Yuanlu is capable. Even if you give up this time There will be better things in the future, as long as he goes to the emperor and says this, the emperor will definitely agree, so he can win the reputation of being a virtuous person outside, and it will be more powerful for his future career."

The Duke was silent, obviously a little moved. He turned his head to look at this woman who had been with him for half his life without asking for a name. After all, he still felt that she was wronged. Come down."

Wan Niang said anxiously, "Why discuss it with Madam, just talk to Yuan Lu directly."

Grandpa Guo waved his hand, "I see, let someone call Yuanlu here."

The fourth room of the Rong family was still immersed in joy, and the servants beside the Duke came over and called the fourth master Rong, who smiled and said, "I'll go back as soon as I go, and I will check your homework later." He said to Rong Rong, "Although you are going to the military camp, you must not miss the homework of the past few months."

Rong Cheng's smiling face immediately dropped, and he bowed his head in response.

The fourth master Rong went to the study of the Duke with a smile on his face.

Fourth Master Rong came back in less than half an hour, but the smile on his face was gone. Seeing his expressionless face, Cen hurriedly said, "Master, what's the matter? Didn't you feel fine just now?"

"Father asked me to give up the position of official department to my second brother." Fourth Master Rong spat out a few words coldly.

The children were startled, Rong Lang, who had always been calm, had already stood up, frowned and said, "Second Uncle is too bullying, why take Dad's place if I don't have the skills."

Haizhu also said angrily, "It's too much, my grandfather is too much, how can he be a father like this!"

Baozhu was also dumbfounded. She always knew that her grandfather was eccentric, so she didn't like him, and she never used lotion for him in the past few years. Sometimes she even felt a little guilty, thinking that she had gone too far.Looking at it now, she really wasn't too much, such a father, a grandfather, favored a bastard, Baozhu really wanted to scold this confused grandfather!

Mrs. Cen also anxiously said, "Why is Dad doing this? That old aunt must have provoked it. Does Mother know about this? You can't just let it go. How many years have you been in the Imperial Academy before you survived? That's your fault." Why should I give up my skills to the second room!"

Rong Yuanlu was silent for a while before he gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't agree, he will use filial piety to suppress me. If there is a reputation for being unfilial, he will tell me how to mess around in the officialdom! This is to cut off my way out!"
