The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 26 The Empress Dowager Birth

On this day Xuan Jue rushed to the Empress Dowager Zhang's Palace to greet her after morning court.

When she came, Empress Dowager Zhang was leaning on the back of her chair, 'gudu' smoking a hookah.

After Xuanjue and Empress Dowager Zhang paid their respects, she sat beside her in a cloud of mist, coughing a few times due to the smoke, "The imperial doctor said that this stuff is harmful to the body, the empress should smoke less."

Empress Dowager Zhang took a sharp sip, and exhaled a long stream of misty white smoke with a happy face, "The Ai family is idle every day, so they rely on these to pass the time. The Ai family is not like the concubines in the emperor's harem. I can calculate my own little thoughts every day. Aijia used to think that becoming the queen mother was the end of the day, but looking at it now, it is not as interesting as the previous days."

Xuan Jue said with a smile: "My mother still has a long time to take care of her life, if you are bored, you can also ask the concubines to come and sit in the palace."

"They?" The queen mother sneered, "Hehe, each of them doesn't know how much they hate Aijia, what can they talk about when they come to the palace? You see, since the late emperor has gone, they all have white hair as long as they are. They are faster than the seedlings in the grass, and Aijia doesn't want to see them. When I see them, I always feel that I am old too."

Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand, ordered the maid to put away the hookah, and wrote lightly: "I saw the noble concubine in the imperial garden before, and told Ai's family that the fourth wife's house gave her a fat grandson again. .”

Xuan Jue nodded and said: "Then let the fourth brother often bring his wife and children to the palace to see the noble concubine."

"Look at what she is doing?" Empress Dowager Zhang said without hesitation: "The Ai family felt angry after hearing what she said. Her son's wife gave birth to two children in three years, and the concubine's room did not do anything every day but only knew about giving birth. It looks like a house of delicious and lazy breeding pigs. The Ai family can't look down on the expression of the noble concubine when she said this in front of the Ai family. Who is she showing her power? So the Ai family issued a Taoist decree and will not allow it in the future. The fourth child enters the palace, let's see what kind of prestige she will have in the future!"

"Among all the princes, the fourth brother is the closest to his son. If the queen mother is like this, it will hurt the hearts of the imperial concubine and the fourth brother."

"It hurts their hearts? Why don't you think about whether Ai's family is hurt or not?" Empress Dowager Zhang straightened her sitting posture and said solemnly: "Don't blame Ai's family for not reminding you, you have been an emperor for more than a year, and the world It is good that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but if you want to talk about Ai’s family, it’s not enough. The emperor wants Ai’s family to be happy, and he wants Ai’s family to take care of him, so he quickly adds a little grandson to Ai’s family. Those who get grandchildren are the ones who care for their lives. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be possible to hold a hookah bag and laugh foolishly every day?”

Xuan Jue said with a helpless smile: "Such a thing is not something that the son can have just as he says, it depends on the right time, place and people."

"What is the right time and place for people? Yi Ai's family said that you should go less to the Queen's Palace. It is a piece of land that can't be cultivated. Why do you waste time with her all the time? And those few A nobleman is always there, and there is no movement in his stomach, so he has the guts to be jealous all day long?"

Every time this matter was mentioned, Empress Dowager Zhang would keep nagging, Xuan Jue didn't bother to argue with her, so he followed her words.

Empress Dowager Zhang heard his perfunctory, and said again: "The Ai family has read the records of the respect room, and there is a Chu Chang, who has not served in bed since entering the palace? Has it?"

When mentioning Chu Jin, only two impressions flashed in Xuan Jue's mind.

The first is that her hateful sister killed the queen, and the second is the extremely ugly woman who rescued her that day.

"She has never served her. She is Concubine Li's older sister, Chu Huaishan's direct daughter. She was born extremely ugly."

"Do you care if she is ugly or not? With a mother's background like Chu Huaishan, we want to win him over. He rushed to send all the prostitutes to the palace. If you don't even touch her, won't you hurt her?" The old minister's heart?" Empress Dowager Zhang sighed briefly, "Furthermore, don't those beautiful and ugly ones look the same when the lights are off? Why, the emperor, you still like to fight at night with lights on?"

Xuan Jue burst out laughing at the words of Empress Dowager Zhang, but Empress Dowager Zhang said seriously, "What are you laughing at? The Aijia didn't joke with you. Those widowed concubines of the former emperor in the harem are all talkative, and they often talk about the emperor behind their backs." Your family affairs. The emperor lived in Chaoyang Palace, so he couldn't hear these gossips. But Ai's family could hear them. The emperor knew the temper of Ai's family, and he couldn't listen to other people's tongues. When the late emperor went, he buried so many concubines with him. The number of old people who come down is small. Is the emperor willing to listen to the words of the Ai family because he wants to watch the Ai family kill them all?"

Xuan Jue hurriedly said: "Mother, can you change your habit of beating and killing at every turn? Those concubines have been with the father all their lives, and they will be pitiful when they die, so don't embarrass them."

"They don't pity the Ai family. I don't know. The Ai family only knows that when the late emperor was here, they didn't think much about the Ai family. The winner is the king and the loser is a bandit. The Ai family will never pity the weak. Just like you, never go It is the same reason to pity your rebellious eldest brother and third brother."

After saying this, Empress Dowager Zhang stood up and called the maids to help her go to the bedroom. Too long to wait."

It was the night when Xuanjue finished handling the government affairs, Liu Qi rushed to bring the plaques of the concubines in front of Xuanjue.

In this palace, there has always been a secret that even Queen Mother Zhang does not know.

That is Xuan Jue and the female relatives of the harem, and there has never been a fish-and-water affair.

Every time I entered the concubine's palace, or summoned the concubine to Chaoyang Palace, I would avoid it if I could, or just watch the concubine singing and dancing to pass the time.

It's not that Xuan Jue has the obsession with Long Yang or has unspeakable secrets, it's just that he is used to seeing so many concubines fighting fiercely when the late emperor was there, and he almost calculated that the late emperor would cut off his children and grandchildren, so he was really afraid.

And in his heart, he has always been looking forward to a unique woman walking into his heart.

Born in an emperor's family, it is extremely difficult not to have three wives and four concubines.

But whoever one's heart is willing to fall on, others have no way to intervene.

Xuan Jue looked at the sign Liu Qi was holding, and casually took Chu Jin's sign and turned it over, "It must be her."

Liu Qi was slightly startled, and hurriedly got ready to go.

When the happy news came to Zhaochun Palace, Chu Jin was lying on the couch clutching his belly like a salted fish.

When Linglong came to announce the good news to her with a smile all over her face, she saw Chu Jin frowning in embarrassment, and said, "This is a happy event, why is Miss not happy?"

It's a happy event.The purpose of Chu Jin's entry into the palace was to hook up with the emperor and gain favor, and take the opportunity to get rid of the Chu family and avenge his mother.

But today she happens to be having Tiankui (period), and the emperor's 'favor' just came, how happy can she be?
"Linglong, do you think His Majesty has ever seen a bloody stick?"

"Ah? Miss, what are you talking about?" Linglong looked at Chu Jin in a daze.

Chu Jin smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
