Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 266 Unexpected Pregnancy
Mr. Chang has fame and fame. He had been waiting for a vacancy in the Imperial Academy. After he got engaged to Xixi, he had more contacts with Prince Ping who was also in the Imperial Academy. In fact, the oppressive King Ping has always enjoyed it.He couldn't help but also learned a few tricks from Prince Ping, the joy that is most effective when used to coax anger.

In August, Mr. Chang found a job without a word, and he was sent to Liangzhou as a county magistrate.When Xixi heard him say this, she knew he was doing it for her.Her step-mother-in-law knew about this, and she said that she and Master Chang were not in good health, and wanted her daughter-in-law to stay and serve.Xixi remained unmoved, until before leaving, she sent two good concubines to Master Chang as a token of filial piety, which made her step-mother-in-law sick again.She didn't care what the outside world thought of her as a daughter-in-law who was put in a public house. When it was time to leave, she followed Mr. Chang to take office with a happy face.

Now she is no longer greedy for the prosperity of Chang'an, but feels that as long as her in-laws are not around, she can go anywhere.She also understands why her second aunt has been reluctant to take her in-laws to live here, but when the little tiger is going to get married, Yinhua has to take them in, after all, they are getting older.

Before Xixi left, Jiajia and Yuanyuan had already left Chang'an with Li Sishi, a famous doctor who was an old friend of Mrs. Wu, a few days earlier.Wanning was very envious of Yuanyuan's departure, and she naturally couldn't follow her. She might go out of the palace less in the future, and without Yuanyuan to accompany her, it would be no fun for her to go out of the palace.Yuanyuan promised that King Ping would only go for three years, and when she came back in three years, Wanning was probably engaged, and it would be difficult to leave the palace at that time.

Others only knew that the family left Beijing to study medicine, as for Yuanyuan and the others, they heard that they went to Zhuangzi to recuperate with the car.Many ministers did not believe that the family went to study medicine. They thought that King Ping had found a reclusive great Confucian to accept the son as his disciple, and let the son go out to hide for a few years. The returning son will naturally come to fight for that position.

Everyone in Prince Ping's Mansion didn't care what the outside world thought, and even lived their own lives.The relationship between His Majesty and King Heping has not yet been restored. When Zhuhua went to the palace to pay her respects, Princess Chen sometimes made sarcastic remarks.Zhuhua knew that at this moment, King Chen was highly valued by his majesty, and even beat Duke Qing a few times in court, and now was the time to be proud.Facing her showing off, Zhuhua always responded neither humble nor overbearing, she would avoid arguing with her but was not afraid of her.

But not long after, a piece of news from the palace surprised everyone and changed many people's calculations - Zhao Shupin, who entered the palace this year, was actually pregnant.

After hearing the news, the Holy Majesty was silent for a moment, which greatly rewarded Concubine Shu and raised her rank, making Concubine Zhao Shu Concubine Zhao Shu.The queen and queen mother were very happy when they knew about this, and they rewarded many things.

At night, when the emperor went to Shu Concubine to spend the night, she saw that her expression was normal, and even when the emperor said something that praised her for her contribution to the country, she accepted it with a light smile, and she did not seem guilty.During the day, the Holy Majesty had already invited the imperial physician to give a diagnosis and treatment. The imperial physician did not dare to speak too much. He only said that the Holy Majesty was indeed ill. However, it did not mean that he would not be able to conceive a child. It was just that the possibility of conceiving a child was lower. As for how much younger? , the imperial physician did not dare to speak in vain, after all, it was related to the child in Concubine Shu's belly who might indeed be the prince.

The Holy Majesty saw that Concubine Shu didn't feel guilty, and became a little uncertain.Now if Concubine Shu is really pregnant with his child, he is also willing to have this child born.He gagged and refused to take off the medicine on his body, but he sincerely hoped that he could keep his son.Concubine Shu is well educated and reasonable, when she smiles she looks a bit like Empress Jingyi in profile, the Holy Majesty has valued her a lot since she entered the palace, if she is lucky enough to conceive a dragon son, the Holy Majesty will give her another face.

Because of doubts about her pregnancy, the Holy Majesty put a lot of eyeliner in Concubine Shu's palace, but it was hard to see that she had the opportunity to contact a foreigner.The Holy Majesty was still worried, and finally secretly ordered Geng Jieqing to enter the palace.

Geng Jieqing was surprised when he heard what the Holy Majesty said, and started to try his best to find out the truth for the Holy Majesty, even pretending to be a eunuch and sneaking into Concubine Shu's palace.

Since Concubine Shu became pregnant, there were frequent changes in the palace personnel. Some people knew that Concubine Shu was about to get rich, and wanted to put some of their own people in front of Concubine Shu to show their faces, but it was rare to see someone as old as Geng Jieqing.Fortunately, others didn't ask too much, even Concubine Shu didn't think too much about why the people in her palace kept changing.

Geng Jieqing lurked for several days, but he didn't see anything unusual about Concubine Shu, that is, her personal maid treated an ordinary eunuch in charge very courteously, as if this eunuch had an unusual status.But he is not the most useful eunuch by Concubine Shu's side, why does he make the maid that Concubine Shu brought from her natal family be cautious?Geng Jie checked the details of this eunuch, and found that he was in the palace before Concubine Shu entered the palace, and he probably didn't know Concubine Shu and the maids around him before.

Geng Jieqing checked again, and found that several eunuchs in the same room as him had been ill a few days ago, and the imperial doctor could not find out the illness, so they were isolated, and this eunuch was also released after a period of isolation. To work as an errand in Concubine Shu's palace.Geng Jieqing felt that there was something strange about it, and it was only after checking in the middle of the night that he was not a real eunuch, not even the eunuch at the beginning, but a seemingly deceased gardener in Concubine Shu's natal family.

To say that Concubine Shu and this self-taught gardener from a poor family have long been in love with each other, but the disparity in status can only bury their feelings in the bottom of their hearts.

On this day, someone from the palace came to deliver an order for Concubine Shu to enter the palace. The gardener happened to find that there was a father-in-law who was very similar to him.It was also this father-in-law who was unlucky. He didn't go back to the palace with the other father-in-laws in order to run some private business. On the way, he was robbed of his purse by a thief. The thief got into an argument and was pushed unconscious by the thief.

The gardener has been following behind. When he saw the father-in-law fainted in a secluded abandoned house, he hit the fainted father-in-law on the head a few more times as soon as his brain got hot. He even exchanged clothes with him and pretended to be dead. People are themselves.When he really entered the palace, he was always trembling for fear of revealing his flaws. In order to prevent a few people in the same room from finding out, he put medicine in his diet, thinking about being sick for a few days and making more clichés.

As a gardener, he just discovered that there are several kinds of flowers and plants that can make people feel uncomfortable if they eat them.After a few people felt unwell, the imperial physician also thought about whether they had eaten something wrong when they came to check at the beginning, so that they could be isolated first and then prescribed some medicine just in case.It is reasonable to say that drinking the medicine will have some effect, but who knows that only one person was saved.The imperial hospital did not say that the imperial physician's prescription was at fault, but instead praised him for making prompt decisions and not letting the disease spread.

Gardener also thanked the imperial physician, if it wasn't for him, how could he have such a good chance to prescribe the medicine, and finally let them "disease and die".After he recovered from his illness, his appearance changed slightly, and everyone thought it was because of his serious illness.After he was released, his original position had already been replaced by others. Later, when he heard that Concubine Shu was quite favored, he secretly found her to meet her, and with the help of Concubine Shu, he was transferred to her palace. errand.

Concubine Shu still has friendship with him. At first she thought he was dead and entered the palace disheartened. Now that her lover came back and knew how much he had put in for her, she was willing to put aside her reserve to repay him. Affectionately.

The Holy Majesty has no impression of this eunuch, and it is even more impossible to know how happy the two of them were when he was not going to Concubine Shu's palace.After Concubine Shu found out that she was pregnant, she wanted to give birth to the child wholeheartedly. Because of this, she dispelled the Holy Majesty's doubts because of the fear in her heart, but she didn't know that the Holy Majesty never fully believed it from the beginning to the end.

When the incident was revealed, the two of them knew that it was a capital crime, so they took the hidden poison.Concubine Shu was already a month old, and after drinking the poison, she suffered from pain for a long time, and she broke the water and gave birth to a child the size of a palm.The Holy Majesty suddenly heard the child's cry, and the initial anger disappeared. He even wanted to save the child's life, but was stopped by the Queen Mother who heard the news.The child was already weak, so he went with him after he lived for a while, saving the Queen Mother from bothering to drown him.

Concubine Shu's affair with others is a scandal in the palace. Except for the people involved in the investigation, only the Holy Majesty and the Queen Mother know about it, and even the Queen doesn't know about it.The queen also prepared a lot of small clothes for Concubine Shu's children, and suddenly heard that a eunuch and a maid in Concubine Shu's palace had fought and collided with Concubine Shu, killing her twice, and ran away in shock.When she arrived at Concubine Shu's palace, all the people in Concubine Shu's palace, including the corpses, had been cleaned up. She only saw a few pools of blood on the ground, which made her heart beat.

"How do you manage the harem." The Holy One asked in a deep voice.

At this moment, he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. He could only swear at the always weak queen. Even the queen mother shook her head when she looked at the queen.Not only can this empress not be able to conceive a child, but she can't manage the harem. She is really worried that there will be other troubles in the palace in a hundred years.

The empress knelt down and confessed wronged. Originally, the empress was responsible for the accidents in the palace. Even though many matters in the palace are still in the hands of the empress dowager, she knew that if she was in charge, she could not be in charge of it more than the empress dowager. it is good.

After this day, the queen mother fell ill.The Queen Mother didn't know about it until she heard that the Holy Majesty was going to kill Concubine Shu. Seeing that the grandson was about to be embraced, but it turned out to be someone else's, how could she not be disappointed.Compared with the current queen mother, she has always been looking forward to having a grandson, why is it so difficult for the Holy One to have a son.

When the Empress Dowager got sick, the concubines of each family had to go to the palace to serve her sick. Zhuhua had already heard about Concubine Shu, and she didn't believe the reason that the eunuchs and palace maids fought and collided with Concubine Shu, resulting in one dead body and two lives.She suspected that there was something wrong with Concubine Shu's pregnancy, so she waited to see if something would happen to the successor Zhao's family. If anything happened, it would be Concubine Shu who was having selfish interests.She didn't want to go to the palace to inquire about any news. She was afraid that if she found out something she shouldn't know, she would lose her life in vain.

Even if the concubine was ill during the day, the empress was the one who served the empress dowager most of the time. In addition, when the empress dowager fell ill, the empress had to help with many affairs in the palace, and fell ill within a few days.

The empress dowager's illness made Concubine Hui happy. She is the highest-ranking concubine remaining in the palace. If she didn't take this opportunity to recruit some people, wouldn't she be sorry for herself?But her calculations came to nothing in the end, the Queen Mother did not entrust her with the matters of the harem, but instead summoned the Changle Princess to the palace to help with the affairs of the council.

In fact, according to the meaning of the Holy Majesty, he wanted to call Princess Wan'an into the palace, but now that Princess Wan'an is pregnant, the Holy Majesty did not want her to work too hard, and was afraid that something would happen to her after entering the palace, so he let her stay in the palace. Let's take care of the baby.

After she became pregnant, Zhuhua also visited the princess mansion several times, and in addition to sending some medicinal materials, she also gave a lot of clothes that children can use.She heard that Mrs. Meng's family often went to see Wan'an, and it didn't matter whether she went or not with them.Instead, she went to Princess Ji's tomb, which has now been changed into the cemetery of Empress Jingyi. When the emperor dies in the future, Empress Jingyi's tomb will be moved there to be buried with the emperor.She thought that Princess Ji would be very happy to meet King Ji underground, but would King Ji, who was the emperor at that time, be the husband she wanted to remarry in the next life?
After a month like this, the queen mother's illness finally recovered, but the queen was still sick, and she couldn't let the princess take care of the harem all the time, so she asked Concubine Gao Xian to help manage the affairs together.Concubine Gao Xian was more capable than the empress. The empress dowager gave her a few words, and she managed the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner. Her sweet mouth usually coaxed the empress dowager to give her a high look.When the queen heard about this, she was disturbed by the concerns raised by the people around her, and her illness, which had not fully recovered, became even more serious.

The Empress is ill, so the Holy Majesty can't stay with her overnight. He is disgusted by the matter of Concubine Shu at the moment, and he doesn't want to go to anyone's palace. Annoyed, but often go to Sang Bin's place.

Now there are two high-ranking concubines in the womb, one has power and the other is favored, and they often fight, which makes the palace lively for a while.No matter how they fight, the Holy Majesty is even less concerned about these women now.

At the end of the year, the Holy One took advantage of the officials' return to Beijing to report on their duties, and formally promoted Geng Jieqing who had secretly returned to Beijing.Duke Qing also felt that it was useful for Geng Jieqing to stay in the capital, otherwise others would not be able to find out about Concubine Shu. I heard that she gave birth to a baby boy prematurely. If this child really confuses the royal lineage, he And how to explain to Emperor Huizhuang under Jiuquan.

Besides Geng Jieqing, there is another person who also returned to the capital, that is Yu Boyan, who is about to be 23 years old.As soon as he returned to the capital, her mother formally entrusted someone to go to Prince Ping's mansion to find out Zhuhua's tone.
