Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 189 Bai Pingting is Pregnant

Hearing what she said, the Empress Dowager's expression eased a lot, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"You don't serve Runyu well in Prince Lin's mansion, what are you doing here at Ai's house?"

Bai Pingting was about to mention this point, but she grinned when she saw the Empress Dowager asked a question beforehand.

"To tell you the truth, empress dowager, Pingting came to the palace with the son this time. The son and the prince went to talk about things in front of the emperor, so Pingting came to see you, empress dowager."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen. On her finger was a gemstone ring the size of a pigeon egg that was bright red like blood.

"Pingting's fortune is poor. I don't have the blessing to be a wife to serve the son. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and looked down on me. I know that Pingting is alone now, and I can't bear Pingting to live in the palace. gave Pingting a child."

The Empress Dowager was really taken aback when she heard these words, she sat up to look at her, seeing Bai Pingting's joyful expression didn't look like a joke, she asked quickly: "Are you pregnant? "

Bai Pingting nodded shyly.

"It's only been two months. The son ordered someone to see Pingting. He said that the fetal image is very stable, so he must be a very healthy child."

Since Lin Runyu and Huang Chenyan got married, there has been no movement. As Lin Runyu's imperial grandmother, the queen mother is very concerned about the incense in her grandson's house, and often orders people to send tonics to Huang Chenyan to recuperate his body, but Huang Chenyan's belly can't be bulging. The other concubines in the mansion were also unsatisfactory, either they couldn't conceive or they couldn't keep their concubines, which really worried the Empress Dowager.

In this way, the child in Bai Pingting's womb is Lin Runyu's first child. If it can be born safely, it will be the No. 1 grandchild of Lin Wang's lineage.

The queen mother was overjoyed, and quickly ordered the maid to show Bai Pingting a seat.

"You child is very competitive. The Ai family has sent so many tonics to the imperial concubine this year, but she may not be pregnant, but you are ahead of the curve."

After all, Bai Pingting is a child of the Bai family. Rather than allowing Huang Chenyan to conceive a child and give birth to the first grandson of Prince Lin's Mansion, it is better to let Bai Pingting be born again. Thinking about the Queen Mother's attitude towards Bai Pingting is fleeting. big turn.

Bai Pingting was very good at observing words and expressions, knowing in her heart that the Empress Dowager was looking at her differently, so her attitude inevitably became more eager.

"Pingting would like to thank the empress dowager for the compliment. Pingting, as the side concubine of the prince, naturally misses the prince. The prince loves Pingting so much, and she just needs to let Pingting take care of her baby. She doesn't have to worry about the rest. When the prince is unhappy, Pingting also wants to help, but there is nothing she can do, it is really useless." She sighed pretendingly, and looked up at the queen mother's face.

"Oh?" The queen mother moved her body, but she didn't react much, "Why is Runyu unhappy again?"

"Empress Dowager, you also know that the eldest son is in his prime now, young and healthy, and has a heart to serve the country. However, the emperor has been unwilling to let the elder son go to court because of the incident in the past. In the past year, the elder son He can only go back and forth in the business world, which is really disappointing."

As the eldest son of the royal family, it was a shameful thing for Lin Runyu to be conferred an official position by Ming Shengdi, but he hadn't paid much attention to doing business in the past year, and he still looked more like a fool all day long.

In the past few years, he was young, so it's okay to be lazy because of his deep family background, but if it takes another ten or twenty years, Lin Runyu, who has no guarantee of official career, will be incomparable with other royal children after all.

"Oh? Hearing what you said, the Ai family remembered it. Two months ago, that child Runyu seemed to be saying that he was going to open a business in Shangjing. Why didn't he say anything later?"

Bai Pingting was slightly embarrassed. Lin Runyu originally planned to open the firm, but later Ming Shengdi organized the Maritime Silk Trade, and Lin Runyu hurried over and invested all the money for the establishment of the firm. Who knows how the crown prince will be? All the money that was easy to earn back was taken away.

"The empress dowager doesn't know that the business of the firm was delayed because of other conflicts... Now the son of the world is also thinking about picking a kind of business in Shangjing to grow safely, if he can hold it The lifeblood of a shop in the capital city, that is something that can accomplish a lot.”

Saying that, Bai Pingting got up, raised her skirt and knelt down towards the Queen Mother.

"Empress Dowager, Pingting has something to ask for!"

Her sudden kneeling made the Empress Dowager a little at a loss, and ordered the maid to help her up, then raised her hand to rub her forehead and asked, "What are you doing?"

Bai Pingting didn't get up, but bent down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother again.

"Empress Dowager, please listen to Pingting. Although he is your grandson, Empress Dowager, he is also a subject of the emperor. If the emperor does not allow him to enter the court, the elder son can only be a businessman. However, the competition for talents here is fierce. In the upper capital of China, there is no official position to overwhelm him. It is extremely difficult to achieve great things in the Shanghai. Even if the son of the world has a title, it is not very useful. Handy."

It was quite interesting to hear her words, the Queen Mother frowned, and sat upright again to listen to her continue.

"Empress Dowager, you just recovered from a serious illness a few days ago. The Shizi and Pingting didn't dare to disturb you. Now, Empress Dowager, you are in better health, so Pingting dared to ask you..." Bai Pingting paused and looked up. , there was a faint light in his eyes, "Empress Dowager, are you planning to be controlled by the emperor for the rest of your life?"

The Empress Dowager, who was still very interested at first, became angry instantly when she heard this sentence, patted the edge heavily and scolded: "Presumptuous! How can you allow you to speak arbitrarily in front of the Ai family!"

Bai Pingting's body trembled in fright, remembering what Lin Runyu had told her before entering the palace, she swallowed again and regained her courage.

"The empress dowager, calm down. Pingting didn't mean to be disrespectful, but she just spoke the truth from the perspective of a niece and a granddaughter-in-law." She bowed and kowtowed and continued, " Pingting knows that the emperor is not your biological son. This parent-son treats his biological mother with different degrees of warmth and estrangement. Besides, he is only a stepmother... Think about it, empress dowager, did the emperor visit you when you were bedridden and sick? Come here to show some filial piety?"

Indeed, everything Bai Pingting said was true, even if the Queen Mother was angry, she had to calm down and listen to her patiently.

"So what, the emperor is always in charge of everything. Is it possible that he has to guard the old woman Aijia all the time?" The queen mother moved her eyelids and stared deeply at Bai Pingting to see what she could say. Come on.

And Bai Pingting saw that the Queen Mother's tone relaxed slightly, and she had something that Lin Runyu had told her in advance, so she also gained confidence in her heart.

"You can't say that, empress dowager, you are kind, and you treat the emperor as if you are your own flesh and blood. But the emperor is different, not to mention whether the emperor would mind that King Lin is your biological son, empress dowager, even if you are the empress dowager. Without his own flesh and blood, the emperor will never forget that you once replaced his mother. As an emperor, the emperor naturally cannot tolerate the empress dowager over him. Empress dowager, how have you ever felt at ease in the past few months? "

What was hidden in those eyes was a peeping key that could see into the Empress Dowager's heart. The Empress Dowager moved her body sideways and narrowed her eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

Indeed, judging from the incident at the Mercy Villa, Ming Shengdi was already wary of her. Even if he later sent a servant, Xia Shengqing, to his palace and said kind words, he still couldn't hide his secrets. Little by little the fact of suppressing one's own rights.

When the Queen Mother was young, she was also a tough and undefeated temperament, and she gradually became tired under Ming Shengdi's deliberate suppression. If Ming Shengdi can be afraid of her power again, then her descendants of the Bai family can still be in the world. Between elated.

"Go on."

The Queen Mother meditated silently.

Bai Pingting was delighted in her heart. It seems that the queen mother has shaken slightly. After all, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the queen mother is restrained by Ming Shengdi, it will not change the fact that she is the most honorable woman in the entire palace. In fact, only with the help of the queen mother can Lin Runyu's business journey be smooth.

"Think about it, Empress Dowager, the son of the world is your grandson, and he is also the closest person in our Bai family. As your niece, Pingting is naturally thinking of you, Queen Mother. As long as we We all united to help each other, how could the eldest son forget about your kindness, the empress dowager, the emperor just issued a death order to prevent the eldest son from entering the court, but he didn't say that the empress dowager is not allowed to help the empress dowager businessman."

After such a pros and cons analysis, Bai Pingting spoke clearly and logically, and the Empress Dowager's eyes flickered, obviously thinking about it.

Originally, she thought that she was no match for Ming Shengdi, so she had to gradually restrain herself due to the current situation and not intervene in the affairs of the palace.

But after listening to Bai Pingting's words, the queen mother felt that what she had thought before was not very thoughtful.

Even if I obey Ming Shengdi's words, according to Ming Shengdi's temperament, I still won't be soft when I want to take the Bai family in the future. Don't dare to bully her Bai family anymore.

"Did Runyu ask you to say these words?" The queen mother restrained her thoughts and asked.

Bai Pingting nodded and shook her head again, lowering her eyebrows and saying sympathetically, "Master, he really intends to let the Empress Dowager help you, but he also knows how inconvenient you are for the Empress Dowager in the palace, so he doesn't dare to bother her, so Pingting will do it for the Empress Dowager." I'll do it for you!"

"You are sensible."

The queen mother laughed, and raised her hand towards her, "Go and tell Runyu, the Ai family will do what he wishes."

There was a strong smile on Bai Pingting's lips, and she saluted the Queen Mother sweetly.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
