Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 99

The prince's office, the courtyard of the third prince.

"Hey, my master, what time is this, are you still hesitating? Are you really going to be friends with the unborn prince?" The little eunuch in bean green eunuch uniform said anxiously.

"Think about it, the mother loves the young son so much, if the empress really has another son, will there still be a place for you?"

"Mother and concubine won't do it." The boy said just now with his eyes shaking.

"You went to the Empress Palace this month to greet you. How many times has the Empress met you?" The little eunuch asked unfairly, "Have you used the gift you gave the Empress?"

"Shut up, mother and concubine is something you can talk about at will." The young man called the master, who was worried by the little eunuch's heart, scolded with frosty face and thick eyebrows.

The little eunuch saw the hesitation and struggle in his expression, and added more fire, "Before she was born, she has already taken away all the attention of the empress. If I ignore you once, there will be two, three, or even times. Are you sure this is the case?" Is it what you want?"

"The mother and concubine are also very concerned about Xiaoba." The third prince didn't know whether he was convincing himself or others.

"But the eighth princess is just an imperial daughter." The little eunuch whispered, "Even the empress's birth, even the maternity and child master doctor Zheng Tai of the imperial hospital said it was an imperial son."

"It's a prince, good prince. My concubine really lacks a healthy prince!" The third prince's words carried a sense of loneliness and jealousy that he didn't realize.

Since he fell off a horse at the age of seven, he was unable to learn martial arts and ride a horse. When he was weak, he even trembled all over his body and was unable to walk.Over the years, relying on the medicine prescribed by Aunt Hei beside the concubine, he barely suppressed the sequelae.He is different.

But he was not reconciled. From the unclear words of his mother and concubine, and from the guilty eyes of his father who occasionally saw him fall ill, he vaguely guessed the vague truth about his assassination back then.

I am afraid that the father really planned to train himself as an heir back then.That's why I was pulled down as a target.

Whenever the third prince thinks of these things that cannot be explained to outsiders, he will secretly hate him.

After the accident that year, his mother and concubine once asked him if he hated it, and he said he didn't hate it at the time, but as time went on, he became more and more aware of the worry that his mother and concubine asked him when she asked him that question.

After all these years in the palace, he missed many opportunities because of his body, and when he was secretly ridiculed, he hated it, how could he not hate it.

He wanted to hate the person who assassinated him, but he didn't know when it started. He found that he didn't say much about his hatred, and it also brought resentment.He blamed his father for pushing himself out as a target, he blamed the deep palace for taking away his health, he blamed...

"With the prince, you are not alone." The little eunuch sighed slightly, "You have already entered the court to listen to the government, and the emperor has always praised you very well. Even the second prince can't go past you, because this is not uncommon. Mrs. Zhuang scolded me. The slave also heard people in the palace talk that the emperor planned to pass the throne to the empress's son. Now the empress's son is only you, and it will be hard to say in the future."

When he came back to his senses, the voice of the little eunuch was still in his ears. Many people had speculated and paid attention to what happened back then.

"What's the point of bringing up what happened back then? Because of the rumors, this prince fell off his horse and was injured. Isn't that miserable enough?" The third prince avoided the serious, but his mood was affected after all.

"The master is recovering very well now, and the emperor also attaches great importance to you. The empress has been counting on you before. But..."

"Xiao Chengzi, don't talk about it." The third prince put the teacup on the table annoyedly, and rubbed his forehead with his fingers.

This little Chengzi came to him after the prince purged him three years ago. He is quite clever, and he is good at finding out information.After Xin Yin left the palace, he did not keep the man Xin Yin left for him in the open, but promoted this little eunuch who had been with him for several years to become a personal eunuch.Firstly, he wanted to cultivate his own power, and secondly, he had some secrets that he didn't want to be known by his concubine mother and aunt Ruhua.

Ever since his mother and concubine became pregnant in July, he has been feeling uncomfortable.The concubine mother had a lot of trouble with her father in the past few years, and it has gradually improved in recent years.He knew and understood that his chances of getting into that position were slim because of his body.

It would be lying to say he has no idea about that position.But the cruelty of reality made him miss the opportunity prematurely.He is unwilling and resentful.But he buried this resentment and resentment, and worked harder than before to do his best.Suppress all the princes and become the most favored prince in front of the father.

The opportunity was won by himself, even though it was slim, he still wanted to give it his best.In this way, he will not regret it.

All the concubine's experiences since she was pregnant made him feel that everything was back to the original point.Seeing his father, queen, mother and concubine looking forward to the birth of this child so much, the complicated emotions in his heart deepened day by day, and the devil in his heart grew day by day.

What Xiao Chengzi said is correct, the father will definitely pass the throne to the son of the mother concubine, if his younger brother is not born, then...

He was surprised, how could he have such an idea.

"Master, this dessert, if you hesitate any longer, it will be cold." Xiao Cheng reminded.

"Put it down, let me think about it."

The third prince waved Xiao Cheng back, and sat alone, staring at the dim sum on the round table in a daze, with a lonely back.

After a long time, he got up, carried the snack out of the room and walked out.There is that sentence in my heart that I dare not say, concubine mother, I'm sorry.

Yaohua Palace, dinner time.

"Mother Concubine, Yao'er has brought you some snacks." The third prince came in with a large food box, and said to the woman who was leaning on the couch to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

"Your aunt in painting has developed a new snack for you to send?" Ten Niang regained her senses and asked with a smile at her son who grew older and missed someone.

"This time it wasn't made by Aunt Ruhua, it was my son who secretly went to our pastry shop to get it." The third prince winked at Shi Niang,
"Try it, it's the new sour plum cake in the shop."

The third prince opened the food box neatly, took out the dessert plate, and handed it to his mother and concubine.

"Looking at the shape, it's a novelty. You pick a few and I'll use them, and leave the rest for your sisters. Girls love these sweets."

"Don't worry, Auntie, each of the younger sisters will have a share, and I will send them to the princess."

"That's good, help me get up, and use the snacks my son brought to his mother when he came out of the palace."

The third prince held up a brown snack in the shape of a ebony petal, and fed it to Ten Niang's mouth, "You lean on it, my son will feed you."

The third prince's unusual intimacy made Shi Niang startled, she stared at her son's sincere face, and slightly opened her mouth to swallow the snack on the chopsticks.

"How are you doing?" The third prince was concerned, "The staff in the shop said that it was made according to the recipe handed down from the ancestors, and this ebony cake is the most delicious."

"Our shop is still passed down from the ancestors?" Shi Niang met her son's disbelieving eyes, and patted his head, "I was coaxed by the guy brought out by Xin Yin again."

"Brother Xin taught the guys that way, isn't it good?"

"Stupid boy, it's just a gimmick. People who buy dim sum will think that this dim sum is rare, and they can take it home to make their relatives happy. Why not do it?"

"So there is such a thing. To make people happy?"

"A Niang is very happy. I have neglected Yao'er these days, and Yao'er still misses A Niang and your sisters all the time."

"What are you talking about, A Niang? It's the right thing to do to you and your sister."

"Aniang's Yao'er is becoming more and more like a man."

"Ma'am." The third prince trembled slightly with his hand holding the chopsticks, "Eat another piece."

"Don't worry, it's almost time for dinner. If you eat too much, it won't be easy to eat. Save this night's supper, and let your father taste the snacks brought back by Yao'er himself."

"Okay, the son will ask you to get up and walk?" The third prince put down the dessert plate and stretched out his hand.

"Come on, you've been busy all day today, so go eat first." Ten Niang supported her stomach, "Ask Huaping and Si Jin to come over and clean my hands."

That night, in Yaohua Palace, Zhaoyi's fetal gas moved.

Under the emperor's glaring gaze, the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital said to the emperor, "Ms. Shuyi is fine, it's just that she ate cold food by mistake.
It caused abdominal pain, so I went to prescribe medicine for the empress. "

Under the anger of the emperor, Li Taiyi got up to write the prescription.

Doctor Li, who was writing the prescription, was complaining in his heart, how could he have moved his fetus and eaten food by mistake, the pulse of this Empress Shuyi is very stable and healthy.

It seems that this empress who has been complaining about her stomachache is going to make a big move.

Doctor Li thought that someone had secretly passed him the news before, so he lowered his head and quickly wrote the prescription.

The emperor was very angry about Shuyi's fetal gas.He bluntly said that everyone who took care of Shuyi would be punished.It was Shuyi's intercession that saved them from punishment.

This was a simple matter of accidentally eating cold food, and everyone in the palace didn't pay much attention to it.At least on the surface, everyone doesn't care.

Only a few sensible people vaguely guessed that someone secretly made a move on this favored and pregnant prince Shuyi.

It's just that I don't know what kind of thank you gift this skilled Empress Shuyi will give back to the other party.

Everyone was still guessing, but there was a message that Shuyi begged the emperor to find out the truth and give fair news to herself and her child on the hospital bed.

Immediately afterwards, Shuyi got the emperor's permission to investigate the matter thoroughly.Assisting the people around Shuyi in the investigation is the celebrity Lu Gonggong who is close to the emperor.

The investigation was carried out very quickly. First, it was found out that the food that caused Shuyi's fetal gas was a plate of snacks sent by the third prince.

Everyone is sighing, brothers are fighting against the wall, waiting to see Shuyi's jokes.The plot suddenly took a turn for the worse.The third prince knelt before the emperor to plead guilty, and reported on Mrs. Dezhuang.He said that on the way to Yaohua Palace, he had met Mrs. De Zhuang, and a maid next to Mrs. had inadvertently touched the food box he brought snacks for his mother and concubine.It was his negligence that caused his mother and concubine to suffer. He was willing to be punished, and he only hoped that the emperor would find out the truth and return justice to his mother, concubine and younger brother.

As for the maid mentioned by the third prince, unfortunately, she disappeared on the night of Shuyi's accident.The emperor ordered to search everywhere in the palace,

Finally, the body of the maid was found in a well in the cold palace.

The maid's body was transported to the palace man's office for an autopsy, and a little maid who had a good relationship with the court lady tremblingly presented a letter to the third prince, a letter that the court lady handed to her before she died.

The third prince presented the letter, and the emperor was shocked.

In the letter, the maid stated that she was persecuted by Mrs. Dezhuang, so she had to attack Empress Shuyi as a last resort.If she was found missing, she must have been assassinated.If things get serious, give this letter to the Third Prince.

The emperor immediately summoned Mrs. De Zhuang to question her. Mrs. De Zhuang was furious and slapped the little maid who presented the letter, saying that she was sent by someone with a heart to slander her and provoke her relationship with Shuyi.

The emperor stared at Mrs. Dezhuang coldly, listening to her explanation.

Mrs. Dezhuang couldn't produce evidence to prove that she was framed, she could only swear and swear, saying that she had nothing to do with this matter, and she was also a victim, and it was the dog slave who betrayed her master and bit her back.

Because there was no proof of death, the emperor had no choice but to endure his anger.

Although he didn't punish Mrs. Dezhuang severely.But still, on the grounds that she missed the emperor's heir, she was dismissed from the title of wife and demoted to concubine, and she was the third-ranked concubine of virtue.

Madam De Zhuang was demoted to concubine. After the news spread in the harem, everyone was shocked.

First, it shocked the emperor's attention to Shuyi's child.Second, at a young age, the third prince has mastered Shuyi's true scheming skills, and he is quick, precise and ruthless in his attacks against opponents, leaving no room for error.

For a while, those concubines who were about to make a move did not dare to do it easily.

In a strange and quiet atmosphere, Jia Shuyi's childcare has only come to fruition.

On February 21nd of Xijia's [-]st year, Jia Shuyi gave birth to the prince and Yaohua Palace.

The sixth prince, who was born on the day when the dragon raised its head, was named Mu Jing by the emperor.Jing means taking peace and making order stable.

Jia Shuyi, who made great achievements in conceiving an heir, was immediately promoted to the title of Concubine Shu by the emperor himself, and she was the first of the second rank and four concubines.
