Harem strategy

Chapter 112 Hope and Disappointment

After entering the palace, the Empress Dowager always wants to give birth to a baby quickly, but if she can give birth, why is she still in such a hurry every day?

She had already crushed her good second aunt to ashes in her heart!My good second aunt ruined all my plans!and all hope!To let myself be in the palace, I have to be very careful and careful, for fear of showing my feet!

However, she would never tell the Queen Mother that she could no longer have children.

It can only be said that I was unlucky, that's why I haven't conceived until now. After all, many women in the palace have never conceived, and she is no exception.

She was taking the pills given by the queen mother every day, but she knew it was useless, and her life was ruined by her second aunt.

As for the future, if the Empress Dowager finds out, she can only say that she is so innocent, and if she wants to blame the dead second aunt, she is also a victim, and she doesn't know her situation at all.

What's more, when she entered the palace, she followed the Queen Mother in everything, listened to her, competed for favor, took medicine, and was much smarter and more sensible than her cousin.

After a year, if she is not pregnant, the empress dowager must be in a hurry, and she must see the imperial physician.

That's when things can't be covered up.But she's innocent, she's just been tricked.

Moreover, when the time comes, if the empress dowager doesn't like herself, then she can raise Lin Xiuyi's child.

Of course, it is impossible for the Wang family to give up on themselves. The Wang family has already given up one person. If they want to give up another person, this palace is not opened by the Wang family themselves. Anyone who wants to enter can enter.

And at most, it would be a girl from a side branch, and after giving birth to a child, she would raise it by her side.

Instead of this, you might as well choose it yourself.

Lin Xiuyi came from a tall family. If she and she have been sisters from the very beginning, and she dies in a 'difficult childbirth', then she is worried about the child, so she can only leave it to herself, the one who treats her wholeheartedly.

Therefore, she didn't have any bad intentions towards Lin Xiuyi at all, she just wanted to have a good relationship with her.

The girl chosen by the Wang family will definitely not leave a son to go to the mother. After all, it is the Wang family. Instead of keeping a living adult, it is better to raise a dead child.

It wasn't born by herself anyway, so what does she care about?
After Li Jialuo gave birth to the fourth prince, he slept soundly.

After waking up, Hu Po told herself that during the delivery, the emperor came over and liked the fourth prince very much, so he named him Xiao Yuan.

The princes of their generation all have the word "water" in their names.

"Silly girl, do you think your master and I will still be angry with the emperor, there is no need for that."

Li Jialuo knew what Hu Po was thinking. During this period of time, the emperor had been ignoring him, and he didn't even look at him. Hu Po was afraid that the emperor would come over again, and he would shake his face.

But this face-smacking won't work for the Ninth Five-Year Master, no matter how wronged he is, he still has to greet him with a smile.

The emperor's favor and neglect should be regarded as normal things, and you should not be wronged and unbalanced just because you are ignored for a while. After all, the emperor is not the emperor alone.

Hu Po smiled embarrassedly: "Master, just be a slave and say a few more words, master will not be angry with slaves."

Li Jialuo said: "Don't say anything else, you are not too young now, do you have any plans?"

Although the palace said that she would not be released from the palace until she was 25 years old, but Amber was brought over from her natal family. She can be released to marry someone after talking about favors, and she is currently in a good position. Find her a good family. Absolutely no problem.

After all, she is already a noble concubine and has given birth to two princes.

As the big maid next to the noble concubine, she is definitely a sought-after item.

After hearing this, Amber hurriedly said: "Girl, do you want to drive the slaves away?"

"Why would I drive you away? It's just a girl's family, and she's already at the age of marriage, and I don't want to delay you." She had given birth to two children by herself, and looking at Amber who grew up with her, she was still a Naturally, she wants to find a good home for her.

Amber said: "Master, this servant does not want to marry, nor does she want to leave Master, so please don't drive this servant away." Humber knelt down.

"Get up quickly, talk as soon as you say, and don't agree if you don't agree, I will never force you, don't kneel down." Li Jialuo hurriedly said: "Just, why? Don't you want to have your own home?"

Amber said: "Master, I have been used to following you since I was a child. When I go outside, I don't know how to live. Besides, I really don't like to live with strangers. Besides, I also know that I really want to live with you. Most of the people who look at slaves are looking at your identity, your empress. What's the use of asking for such a marriage?

I just want to get in the way. To put it bluntly, I just want to use the slave to cause trouble for the empress. I have to trouble the empress all the time. The slave is not willing to do this!What is the identity of the servant girl, the servant girl knows in her heart, empress, please let the servant girl stay by your side all the time, there are many aunts in the palace who have never married, and they are still living well, as long as the servant girl follows the empress, everything will be fine. Don't worry anymore. "

"Silly girl, don't you really want to marry you? We two masters and servants, even if others think that you are my personal maid and want to get some glory, but this is also human nature. As long as you are not greedy, Basically, it’s okay. Don’t everyone in the world pay attention to one prosperity and one loss?

Since I dare to marry you, I put my honor and disgrace on me. Moreover, the two married people also get along with each other. You are so good, it is easy for people to like you.Just so lack of self-confidence, afraid of being abandoned as soon as it is useless?Such a person, even if you are willing, I am not willing to marry you. Naturally, among the people who want to marry you, choose someone with good character and talent. How can you give those unreliable ones to you? ? "

Li Jialuo and Hu Po's master and servant have been saying these things for so many years, and there is no need to shy away from them.

Amber was thinking too much, thinking of the worst for everyone.

"However, if you don't like it, just take it as what it is today. I didn't say it. How about we remain the same as before?" Li Jialuo said.

Hu Po hurriedly nodded, she didn't want to marry out, it would be nice to be with the master and the young master in this palace, why go out and suffer?

If you really want to get married, serve your parents-in-law, but also serve a man, and take care of the housework for him. When you have no money, you can share adversity, but when you have money, this man doesn't want to marry ten or eight?
She didn't want to take care of these women's eating, drinking, and messing around in addition to serving her in-laws and men.

And I follow my master, I serve my master and my little master, and I am willing and happy. It is completely from the heart, and there is absolutely no reluctance.

In this Changchun Palace, she lives so freely, why should she go out to be a cow or a horse?
Li Jialuo saw that Amber was really unwilling to go out to marry, so he didn't force it. The marriage of a man and a woman was originally a matter of mutual consent, and she would not send Amber out to marry to increase her own leverage. It's useless to ask for such chips, besides, Amber is very important to her.

"The emperor is here!" A voice sang outside, and the emperor came in to see Li Jialuo.

Li Jialuo wanted to salute, the emperor hurriedly said: "You still need to take care of your body, so there is no need to salute."

"Your majesty, it's not easy to entertain you with a concubine like this."

After all, she is still in confinement, fortunately she has no smell yet.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for the emperor to come in and smell a bad smell.

As if there was no barrier between the two, the emperor said: "You have worked hard." It meant that Li Jialuo gave birth to another son for him.

Li Jialuo said with a smile: "What does the emperor say about hard work or hard work? When my own child is born, you can only be happy in your heart. Why do you think about hard work or not?"

The emperor has always known that the imperial concubine is a good mother, but he was suddenly at a loss for words and wanted to explain something, but he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he can favor whomever he wants to favor, and he doesn't need to explain to anyone at all.

This is also his usual practice, but why is he so eager to explain on the imperial concubine's side?
But the imperial concubine didn't ask herself, is she too sensible?
Back then, when Concubine Wang Xian was still there, as long as she was left in the cold for a day or two, she would cry and make noises, causing him a headache, and even the queen mother called Concubine Wang Xian.

When it came to the imperial concubine's side, she didn't even ask anything.

Forget it, there is nothing to explain this kind of thing, and he doesn't need to explain it, and he doesn't have to feel guilty at all. He is the emperor, so why should he feel uncomfortable opening his mouth because of this matter?
The emperor said: "Take good care of your body, I will go to see Luo'er and Yuan'er."

Since the third prince had his younger brother, every day when he woke up, he ran to his fourth brother's side to watch him spit bubbles.

Or sometimes say something to my fourth brother that no one can understand.

So when the emperor came over, he saw the third prince lowering his head, whispering to the fourth prince Xiao Yuan.

"Luo'er." The emperor liked the third prince very much, seeing that the third prince had grown a little taller, he couldn't help but hugged him up, and it really weighed a lot.

"Father." The third prince was a little excited. The child did not hold grudges. His father came to visit him again during this period of time, and he was happy again.

Now being hugged by his father again, he laughed even more.

On the contrary, the relationship with the emperor became closer.

The eldest princess also brought the second princess over, and the third prince was also very happy to see these two sisters, because during this time, the three of them often came to play together.

The emperor was also very pleased to see that the three siblings were so harmonious.

As a father, he naturally hopes that his children will not be separated.

The eldest princess smiled and said to the emperor: "Father, the fourth brother is too young, he sleeps every day, it's not fun at all."

The third prince immediately retorted: "Elder Sister, the fourth brother sleeps to grow his body and grow taller. My mother and concubine told me that we all did this when we were young."

The second princess also whispered: "Yes, eldest sister, my mother and concubine also said it."

The emperor said: "Don't wake up your fourth brother, go out and play Cuju."

The eldest princess said: "The third emperor's younger brother is still too young, that is the eldest emperor's brother. Every time I go to call him, his mother and concubine always say that the eldest emperor's health is not good and he can't play with this, but the imperial doctor didn't say that it takes more time." Will your body be better if you move it? Father, when you see the eldest brother, tell his mother and concubine when the time comes, don't keep the eldest brother in the room. The eldest brother is a boy, how can you talk to him? Like a little girl, stuck in the house? We want to play with him, but we can't."

The reason why the eldest prince is called is because the eldest prince is not much younger than the eldest princess.

The emperor heard this, and said: "You are a good sister, I have this matter in mind, and I will tell them."

Thinking of my eldest son, who is weak and sick, it is time for him to exercise.

Otherwise, it would be nice for this body to grow up.

So after the emperor came out of Changchun Palace, he went directly to Li Ronghua's side.

Li Ronghua is the eldest prince's biological mother, she was born as a court lady, and she is submissive every time, the emperor doesn't like it very much.

But for the sake of her giving birth to the eldest prince, and the fact that she sent the eldest prince to Concubine Xian to be raised by her side, she also let the empress take good care of her.

"The emperor is here?" Li Ronghua couldn't believe it, she got up in a panic, she wanted to change her clothes and comb her hair again, but there was no time, Li Ronghua came out in a panic, seeing When he arrived at the emperor, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to salute.

The emperor asked, "Where's Mu'er?"

The emperor came over and asked the eldest prince directly.

Li Ronghua said respectfully: "The eldest prince is studying."

"It's not that Mu'er hasn't started school yet, how can she know how to study?" the emperor asked.

Li Ronghua said with some pride: "It's the concubine who knows a few words, so I taught the eldest prince first."

"In this case, in a few days, I will find some gentlemen and let Muer go to school." The emperor said, "Let Muer come out, and I will test him."

Li Ronghua has been waiting for this day for a long time, she has long wanted the eldest prince to ask him to read and read, but she and the eldest prince are not favored, and it is difficult to tell the emperor.

Now the emperor has solved this problem at once, Li Ronghua thinks today is really a good day.

The emperor saw the emaciated eldest prince, who was seven or eight years old and looked the same as five or six years old.

His face was pale, without any rosiness.

The emperor asked the Eldest Prince a few questions, but the Eldest Prince's voice was very low. Li Ronghua was anxious when he saw this, how did he usually teach him, and how did he become like this when he was in front of the Emperor?

But no matter how anxious she was, she didn't dare to interrupt the emperor's questioning, so she could only think about talking to the eldest prince after the emperor left.

The emperor's brows became more and more wrinkled, the eldest prince's voice became lower and lower, and finally his head could not be lowered any more.

The emperor asked: "In the future, go out and move around a bit more. Your elder sister comes to play with you. Why don't you come along?"

Li Ronghua hurriedly said: "Reporting to the emperor, the eldest prince is very weak and is not suitable for more exercise."

"Weak? Let's go to school after you get better, so you don't feel unwell and miss the class. The teachers I invite are all great Confucians. If the students are not good, the teacher will not be happy."

"The eldest prince still has no problem studying." Hearing what the emperor said, Li Ronghua hurriedly said, but because of this reason, the important matter of studying cannot be delayed.

"Okay, what I'm asking is Mu'er, what's the point of you talking for him all the time? Could it be that when he grows up, you, a mother, will still be by his side and speak for him?" The emperor said unhappily.

Li Ronghua didn't dare to speak anymore.

In the eyes of the emperor, the eldest prince was a little trembling.In the end he fainted from fright.

Li Ronghua was so frightened that he immediately called the imperial physician.After a while of confusion, the emperor was very disappointed. His elder son was so frightened that he even answered his own question. What will he do in the future?
Every time he had a glimmer of hope for this elder son, he would be more disappointed, making himself never want to ask this elder son a word.
