Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 85

"Your fat girl, at least you have to wait for a few years. You, you can't eat hot tofu even if you are impatient." Shi Niang glanced at the emperor, "It's Xiaoqi who is arguing to see you these days. The emperor can't just pay attention If you look at your sister, you will forget about your sister."

"Sisters and sisters are all my treasures, and their mother is even more precious." The emperor teased, "I just don't know where I rank in the heart of Empress Jieyu!"

"The emperor has also learned to be jealous with the child. He has neglected the child's father these days. Come, in order to express the apology of the concubine, let the child's father drink this carefully cooked pigeon soup."

"You!" The emperor took the soup bowl from Shi Niang's hand with a green face, and finished the last bit of pigeon soup with difficulty.

"Entering the painting, stop when the soup is almost finished. Since your master doesn't like to drink it, it won't be of much use if you boil it. Hurry up to the doctor Zheng tomorrow and prescribe some bitter medicine juice for your master to drink. See if she still hates tonic soup. "

"I understand." Ru Hua and Ruo Min held back their smiles, put away the soup bowls and cups, and retreated.These days, the imperial concubine has a good relationship and often does not allow people to serve her by her side.

Only the emperor and Shi Niang were left in the room, and Shi Niang lowered her head to tease the Eighth Emperor Daughter, while the Emperor looked at her in a daze.

She was wearing loose clothes, her hair was loosely tied, and a few strands came out from the temples. She exuded a calm and leisurely atmosphere, which made people feel relaxed.

"Yue'er, you've taken care of her well, she's still chubby, she's much better than Xiao Wu and Jiu."

"Sister Meng left early, and the fifth prince also suffered a crime when he was born. He is naturally thinner than Yue'er. Now he is in the empress's palace. The empress can't be better for the princes and daughters. Don't worry, fifth prince. It will get stronger and stronger."

"Meng Shi, it was I who dragged her down. If I hadn't followed Zhen on the southern patrol road, I wouldn't have risked my life." The emperor's voice was a little low.

"It's all bad for the concubine. The mention of Sister Meng made you sad. The concubine thinks that Sister Meng must be happy to have an heir for you. She will also bless you and the fifth prince. You should comfort the prince a little bit, My sister's spirit in heaven will definitely be gratified."

"That's right, I should raise Xiao Wu more. A child without a mother will most likely be neglected by the servants in this palace. Girl, tell me, who is suitable to raise Xiao Wu?" the emperor asked naturally.

"Don't embarrass the concubine. This kind of matter is related to the emperor's heir. The concubine is just a little Jieyu and has no right to comment. You have to discuss the issue of the emperor's heir's upbringing with the master and empress."

"The empress, I think about it myself. Xiaowu is currently being raised by her. During this time, I'm afraid it's out of affection. The empress is more or less subjective in this matter. I allow you to express your opinion."

"Sister Meng's position was Wanyi, the head of the fifth-rank Sanyi. After she became pregnant, according to the rules of the palace, she should have been promoted to the fourth-rank Sanchong, but because she couldn't take care of these outside at the time, Just delay."

"I originally planned to wait for her to be promoted together after giving birth, but I didn't expect her to go."

"So it is reasonable for Sister Meng to be buried according to Ronghua's ceremony." Shi Niang paused, "Only in this way, she is the third-ranked Sanguiyi. There are basically no candidates who are comparable to her and can raise a prince. "

"Above the third rank and above, the Ning family has four concubines, the second prince Siqin is the same age as Yao'er, and the fifth and sixth maids of Rong Jing and Minxian are also young." The emperor thought of his concubines who were above the third rank. I searched over and over again, but none of them fit. "It's really not possible, just choose a suitable promotion point below the fourth grade."

"The positive grades are all empty. From the fourth grade, Shu Chongyi is raising the fourth prince. Lan Chongrong has the third prince daughter. Then we can only choose a suitable one from the fifth grade."

"Liu family and Nalan family?" The emperor pondered for a moment, "It seems that this is the only way."

"Then who do you like?" Seeing the emperor's reluctance, Shi Niang had no choice but to persuade, "From the fifth rank, you have no right to raise children. You have to choose one of the two positions of the fifth rank anyway."

"Is there a suitable person from the fifth rank? You can move down the position appropriately."

"Miaogui is helping the queen to take care of the second prince. Bai Meiren is the mother of the sixth prince, and Xincai is her. She is the birth mother of the fourth prince and is not suitable to raise the second prince. The rest are Jiang Liangren and Shunshu Renping. Naturally, the family background is Pingshun, and it is the same to choose one of her two sisters, Sister Congxi and Sister Congxi."

"Then Daliu and Nalan."

"Do you think this will work? On the Ninth Emperor's side, Li Chang's position is low and he can't raise it by himself. He also wants to be raised by a high-ranking concubine. Why don't the Fifth Prince and Ninth Emperor be hugged by the two who are on the fifth rank?" .”

"Alright, let's decide for now." The emperor insisted, "Liu or Nalan?"

"The concubine privately thinks Nalan's is better."

"How to say?" The emperor gave Shi Niang an appreciative look.

"The Liu family has been very powerful in recent years, and there is still a gap between the Nalan family and the Liu family. You have taught that the two sides that check and balance each other can only achieve good results if there is a small difference in strength. Now the Liu family is not much stronger than the Nalan family. , but it should have something to do with you secretly supporting the Nalan family and suppressing the Liu family. The Nalan family is not as good as the Liu family in many ways."

"That's right, let's continue." The emperor was satisfied with Shi Niang's reaction.

"Give Hefenyi a prince, and the Nalan family will be more confident than the childless Liu sisters. For this prince, she and her family will stand against the Liu family. They will rise up for the prince. etc. When the two of them are fighting for their rights, you can free up your hands to regulate the Northwest."

"Young girl is right, Northwest! The reform of Nanluo has already achieved initial results. Fengyang's chess pieces have also been buried. It is time for the Northwest to start training troops."

"For the stability of your previous dynasty, the Nalan family plays a greater role than the Liu family. The concubine thinks that it should be with Fenyi."

"Jiu girl, give it to Mrs. Liu. It's not good to treat one more than another."

"I think the two ladies will be grateful for your kindness." Ten Niang watched her daughter spit bubbles while sleeping, and couldn't help poking her little round face.

The emperor saw that Mang grabbed Shi Niang and wanted to poke the hand of the Eighth Emperor, "You should cry when you wake up. Since she is asleep, don't make trouble with her."

"It's not a problem that she always sleeps during the day and makes trouble at night. But you always stop her from waking her up. She cries again tonight, so you can't be bothered."

"Bring her to the nanny tonight." The emperor pointed, "Let's..."

When Shi Niang heard this, she smiled and said, "Yue'er is a weird girl, she always looks for me at night, otherwise she will cry hard. Or you should go to the other sisters."

"This girl is too attached to you." The emperor complained, "Back then Yao'er and Han'er were much more at ease than her."

A few days ago, Shi Niang just gave birth to confinement, and the emperor flipped her sign.The two were in high spirits, but they were interrupted by Ba Yatou who kept crying, and they didn't stop crying until they hugged her back.Because of her, the two of them could only cover the quilt and chat purely that day.

"It's the absence of her brothers and sisters that makes people worry."

"Hey, I will accompany you mother and daughter to the meeting, and I will go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review papers in the evening."

"Don't worry too much. You haven't taken care of yourself since you came back from the south. Political affairs are important, but you should also pay more attention to your health."

"You ordered someone to cook the pigeon soup for me?" The emperor thought of her behavior of forcing himself to share the food these days, and suddenly realized.

"You understand." Shi Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "The concubine has been eating the medicinal diet prescribed by Dr. Zheng, and there is no need to eat too much of this tonic soup."

"It's hard for you." The emperor took her hand and rubbed it, "I remember that you have always hated those big tonic things, and you always dislike the fishy smell."

"There is a fishy smell." Shi Niang frowned, "It's better to be a painter, otherwise I wouldn't love those soups."

"You're the only picky girl." The emperor scolded, "There are so many things you don't eat, and it's hard to find some food to reward you. Unlike other people, I'm happy with everything I reward. I always hope that I will be happy and reward you." their things."

"You are not quite right about what you said." Shi Niang joked, "The sisters in the palace are not looking forward to your reward, but you to flip their cards."

"Are you jealous again?" the emperor asked, nodding her nose.

"No. The concubine is just discussing the matter. Speaking of it, after you came back from the south, you haven't done a good job for a while. The sisters in the harem almost hate the concubine to death."

"How can they compare with you, girl." The emperor smiled.

"You don't need to coax me with nice words. I'm not that intolerable, and I'm just out of confinement, so it's not convenient for me to serve you." Said the last ten mother's face flushed slightly.The last time the emperor stayed in her palace, if it wasn't for Xiao Ba, the two of them would have...

"You rest well, I'll wait for you to be all right." The emperor patted Shi Niang's head, "I'll go back to review the papers, so I won't come over for dinner at night. Go to the queen and make arrangements for Xiao Wu and Jiu girl. Son."

"Chen and concubine respectfully send the emperor."

When Shi Niang was about to get up, she was pressed down by the emperor, "You don't need to give it away, you are in good health, and you don't need to perform these empty rituals."

The emperor left with a group of people.

After the emperor left, Shi Niang smiled in the direction of the East Sixth Palace, "Sister Liu and Nalan, the gift from this palace will arrive soon, are you ready?"

At this time, one of the two who was gifted by her was discussing with the maid how to win the custody of the prince.

"Your Majesty, don't think about anything. Find a chance to ask the Empress Empress several times, and there will always be a solution to the prince's support." The big maid beside Nalan's side helped her with ideas.

The servant girl suggested to her that the prince's problem can be dealt with by the queen.

"We should beg the queen more. After all, only the queen can make arrangements for the emperor's heir. It's not shameful to beg her. As long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter how you get ridiculed."

The servant girl heard the words and persuaded, "You are right, but you can no longer be so calm, don't forget, Xi Fangyi, that is Miss Liu, she is never soft. You are slow The chances of the prince raising you will be less."

"Although it's an exaggeration, it's true that sister Liu is also planning on this child. I know your concerns. Let me think about it. Let's ask the queen."
