Harem strategy

Chapter 69
The emperor regards the concubine Shu's birth very seriously at any time. This birth might stabilize the court and give those people with ulterior motives a rest, so the queen mother's people passed on the queen mother's words, and the emperor did not leave.

In this way, from day to night, the lights in Changchun Palace were lit up, as bright as day.

"Your Majesty, you should have something to eat first." Empress Zhao was also waiting here. She went to the delivery room to see it just now, but Concubine Shu still hadn't given birth. This first child was indeed difficult.

As for Empress Zhao's wish for Concubine Wu Shu to have a prince, she can't have one now, and she doesn't have a son of her own, so it's the same for everyone, the more princes concubines give birth to, the better for her.

The emperor listened to Empress Zhao's persuasion, and was about to sit down to eat, when suddenly a person rushed out from the delivery room, knelt down in front of the emperor and empress, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "Congratulations to the emperor and empress! Concubine Shu gave birth Already!"

The emperor immediately stood up and asked, "Is the baby a boy or a girl? How is your body? Where is Concubine Shu?"

That person was a stable woman, and she hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine Shu gave birth to a little prince, and now the mother and child are safe!"

"Okay! There are rewards! There are rewards for everything!" The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, more joy.

He also asked the imperial physician to take a good look at the little prince. The imperial physician confirmed that the little prince is in good health. As long as he takes good care of him, he will never suffer from weakness in the future. The emperor also rewarded the imperial physician heavily. Everyone has a reward!
The entire Changchun Palace was beaming.

Empress Zhao also congratulated the emperor with a smile. The emperor smiled and said: "It's my prince, and also your queen's child. I'm happy. The queen also has an extra son."

Queen Zhao nodded, "What the emperor said is that the concubines also want to give everyone a reward, but the emperor, the person who deserves the reward most is Concubine Shu. She has been pregnant for so long, and it is hard enough to give birth to the emperor. For the healthy prince, he is the hero of our Great Chu!"

The emperor said: "Concubine Shu really deserves a reward!" And he wants a lot of rewards!Even Concubine Jing can get a concubine. Concubine Shu doesn't have any bad intentions, and she gave birth to a healthy prince, she should really be rewarded.

"Then make Concubine Shu the concubine Shu." The emperor said.

Empress Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines do not object to Concubine Shu being concubine Shu. The women in our palace should serve the Emperor well, and the most important thing is to spread branches and leaves for him. However, Concubine Shu is one of the four concubines. One, do you want to say something about the queen mother?"

Empress Zhao thought to herself, the Empress Dowager is still counting on one of the four concubines to have her niece, so now she is not very happy to let Concubine Shu occupy one of them.

And this time, the emperor would definitely feel uncomfortable if he was not happy, and if he was unhappy a few more times, the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother would gradually fade away.

The emperor nodded after hearing this, and said: "Yes, I will go in and have a look, and then go to the mother's side to talk about this matter." In the emperor's heart, he is the emperor, and it is just a normal thing to be a concubine, especially if he is still a concubine. It is meritorious to give birth to a prince, so he went in and looked at Concubine Shu for a while, and saw that Concubine Shu had fallen asleep, so he went to see his third prince. sweet.

The emperor ordered people to take good care of Concubine Shu and the third prince, and left Liu Yongquan behind to help take care of Changchun Palace.

He himself went out to the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Now that he has a healthy prince, it is very important to tell the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother already knew about it, it is much better to say it personally than others.

What's more, he had to tell the Queen Mother about Concubine Feng.

The Empress Dowager heard the news and saw the emperor coming, and the palace nurse was busy congratulating the emperor.

"The emperor is here! How is the little prince?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile, "Originally, Aijia wanted to go and have a look, but once Aijia passed, Changchun Palace over there would have to worry about Aijia, so we should wait a few days talk later."

"The third child is in very good health, and he is especially good at eating." The emperor said with a smile: "The queen mother wants to see it, and my son asks someone to bring the third child here."

"It can't be like this. The child is just born and you are weak. Ai's family can't do it just because they want to see their grandson in a hurry. Isn't that a sin? Or wait a few days, and Ai's family will go and see in person."

The emperor smiled and said: "The queen mother is considerate of her grandson, this is the third child's blessing."

"Queen Mother, my son came here to tell you that Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince, and my son wants to make her Concubine Shu."

"Concubine Shu?" The Queen Mother said: "Emperor, is Concubine Shu a bit taller? Concubine Jing also gave birth to a second prince and became a concubine directly. It can't be said that it will bring trouble to Concubine Shu and the third prince. From the Ai family's point of view, it's better to be a concubine directly, and then wait for the third prince to grow up, and then seal it up, so that others will have nothing to say."

The emperor nodded after hearing this, and said: "Then, according to the mother's queen, make Concubine Shu the Concubine Hui."

The emperor was no longer as happy as he was before he came.But not on the face.Because the prince was born, there were many things to do, including naming the prince.

The first prince's name is Xiao Mu, the second prince's name is Xiao Qing, and the third prince's name, he has several names, so he will go back to the imperial study this time and choose carefully.At that time, it will be rewarded with Concubine Hui's position.

In the emperor's heart, he really wanted to make Concubine Shu the Concubine Shu. At that time, he conferred the Concubine Shu just for future plans.

But when the Queen Mother said that just now, he only made Concubine Hui.

The Empress Dowager talked about Concubine Jing, which made the Emperor very unhappy. Can Concubine Jing's vicious temperament be compared with Concubine Shu's?
If it wasn't for the sake of the second prince, he would have demoted Concubine Jing immediately.

The emperor was still somewhat dissatisfied with the empress dowager in his heart. At the beginning, the concubine Xian didn't even give birth to a princess, but she was named a concubine in the end. At that time, the empress dowager didn't say a word.

Now he is just concubine Shu for the concubine who gave birth to the prince, the queen mother is not happy.

It is said that it is causing trouble to Concubine Shu and the third child, shouldn't the higher the status, the less dare others provoke it?

A beauty or a concubine, who has more power?You don't need to ask.

The emperor thought of the girl from the Wang family who entered the palace not long ago, the Wang family was really kind.It's just that he's not that easy to manipulate.

Sometimes, the emperor would ask himself in private, or ask the queen mother, is it important for him as a son, or her mother's family?

Does she still feel unsafe with him, the emperor's son?Those who insisted on supporting the Wang family even surpassed themselves as their son sometimes.

Thinking of the Wang family, the emperor thought of Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing was the same, she only regarded her son as a tool to climb up, her natal family and herself were the most important.

So now the emperor hates Concubine Jing more and more, Concubine Jing doesn't know it yet.

It's better for Concubine Shu, at least she has a loving mother's heart, maybe it's because she grew up with her biological mother, her biological mother really taught her well.

The emperor thought about it, since he couldn't confer the title of Concubine Shu as one of the four concubines, why didn't he exchange this favor for Concubine Shu's biological mother?
If there is not such a mother, it is impossible to say that his son has become a tool of his mother's superiority.

So with a swipe of his pen, the emperor sent the little six sons to announce the decree to the Wu family.

When the people of the Wu family heard that someone was coming from the palace, and they were still proclaiming the imperial decree, they all thought that Wu Zhengdao was about to be named Duke of the county.

But hasn't the concubine Shu concubine given birth to the prince yet?Is it already born?

That must be the birth of a prince, otherwise why did the imperial decree arrive so soon?

Their Wu family has developed!The future is full of flowers!

Wu Zhengdao came out in formal attire, Lian Yun's makeup was also in accordance with the standard, and the old lady Wu was also helped out quickly. When she arrived at the main hall, the incense table was set up, and everyone in the Wu family knelt down to receive the order.

The person from the palace who delivered the decree finished reading the decree, but the Wu family didn't respond at all. What's going on?Isn't this a good thing?Why are both of them stunned?Is it really silly to be happy?

"Lord Wu, accept the order."

For the sake of Concubine Shu, the eunuch who delivered the decree reminded her.

Wu Zhengdao hurriedly smiled, exchanged greetings with the father-in-law, and then presented a red envelope, asking: "This father-in-law, why did you suddenly pass on such a decree to our family? How is our empress doing in the palace now?" ?”

"Hehe, then congratulations to Mr. Wu, concubine Shu, oh, no, she should be called Concubine Hui, she gave birth to a little prince last night, the emperor was very happy, and immediately made her a concubine. Then the emperor gave the empress's mother a commandment, Mr. Wu, this is a great thing, the ladies in the palace, except for the Zhao family and the Wang family, are the first ones of the Wuda family! , Our family has talked enough today, we still have something to do, and we have to go back to renew the decree, Mr. Wu, you just wait to enter the palace to thank you."

Wu Zhengdao quickly came back to his senses, and said, "Elder-in-law, why don't you go out after having a meal in the humble house?"

The servant said: "No, I guess the Emperor and Concubine Hui are still waiting for news, our family has to go back quickly."

"How could this happen? Why did you seal that woman's life? If you want to seal it, I should be sealed as a grandmother. How can I seal that bitch?" Mrs. Wu quit, and her granddaughter gave birth to a prince. What about the woman who got a lady's order?This is too inappropriate, she is still an elder!
Wu Zhengdao hurriedly said: "Mother, don't talk nonsense! That's the mother of the empress!" What kind of slut is heard by others and passed into the ears of the empress, it will be even worse. Today's empress is no longer what they can understand. It's under control!
