Long Harem Road

Chapter 77

Everyone in the harem was unaware of the turmoil in Yongshou Palace. At this time, Baozhu was taking a nap with the emperor, and the other concubines were gnashing their teeth and cursing Concubine De, racking their brains to think of ways to seduce the emperor.

The empress was all focused on the secret recipe for childbirth, and even followed the advice of Divine Doctor Xue. During this period of time, she had a pleasant face, cultivated her body, and maintained a good attitude in order to be able to conceive. She only waited for the ingredients to be prepared.

Although she has contempt for Zhou Wan'er, she has to admire the Queen Mother's foresight. For the sake of her prince who has not been seen yet, she finally put aside her prejudice all along and decided to make good use of this pawn.

It can be said that misfortunes never come singly in Wei Shilang's mansion during this time, the sudden impeachment was overwhelming, Mr. Wei was devastated, and the people who had been deceived by Wei's mansion before suddenly launched an organized attack and sued everywhere.

This is naturally due to the contribution of Ji Ershao Ji Xu, who has the same view as the emperor's heroes, and when the emperor strikes, he sees the right time and starts with the oppressed people in the capital, making Wei's family even worse, and Concubine Wei becomes the lifesaver The last straw!
Concubine Wei was extremely anxious. Ever since she got the news, she racked her brains to think of countermeasures, busily inquired about inside information, and even wishful thinking to persuade other concubines' families to help her, and tried her best to save the family.

However, the emperor, contrary to the vigorous and resolute behavior of the past, had a strange attitude towards Wei's mansion. He did not protect or deal with it, but ordered the imperial envoys to conduct strict scrutiny, and hung a sharp sword over Wei's mansion, forcing them not to relax for a moment. Racking his brains to exonerate himself.

Concubine Wei Gui and the Wei Mansion were terrified, slipping away day by day in exhaustion, and the empress dowager also calmed down, but she was quite confident in her arrangement and waited for the good news.

Baozhu can finally raise her baby with peace of mind. Concubine Wei Gui is restrained. Although the noble empress dowager is staring at her, she is full of confidence. She will not make any moves in the short term; tells.

Concubine Xian didn't know what the Empress Dowager did to the treasure orb, but she always firmly believed that with Concubine Xian's forbearance and intelligence, it took six or seven years to bury people in the Yongshou Palace, definitely not just to find out whether it was dispensable or not. peripheral news.

I don't know when, the noisy cicadas have disappeared, and the impetuous heat has also disappeared. Autumn suddenly slipped in at a certain dawn. It gently skimmed the top of the tree and dyed the leaves red. The autumn is crisp and the breeze is comfortable.

Baozhu finally passed through the difficult period of morning sickness, her belly swelled slightly, but she lost a lot of weight. She was nearly four months pregnant, and it was already the end of September, with the fragrance of chrysanthemums in full bloom and only half a month left until "Christmas".

Because it is the emperor's 30th birthday, this year's birthday banquet is bigger than ever before. The envoys of Li, Xian, Mi, Luo, and Nanluo countries have entered Beijing one after another since late September. The emperor offered a birthday gift.

At this time, the busiest place in the harem was the Roufu Palace where Yang Meiren and Zhou Baolin lived. Zhou Waner finally ended her three-month confinement 20 days ago. Oh, no, it was for the blessing of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The results of the Buddhist scriptures copied in three months went to Yongshou Palace to thank you.

Just when everyone thought that Zhou Baolin was humiliating himself, and that a little Baolin wanted to approach the queen mother with such clumsy means, the queen mother unexpectedly received her.

Those who knew the Queen Mother's actions well, apart from the parties concerned, probably only Baozhu and the Queen remained, and the other one was the Emperor who had been paying attention to the Queen Mother and Queen's dynamics.

Even though she boarded the Queen Mother's speedboat, Zhou Baolin still failed to win the emperor's pity. After dinner, the emperor turned over Zhou Baolin's sign with a dark face.

Overnight, Roufu Palace became the focus of attention of everyone in the harem, whether they were jealous or gloating, they all guessed what the queen mother said?

Regardless of the process, the result was that the emperor flipped Zhou Baolin's signboard. So far, the 33 new concubines who entered the palace have all slept in bed.

The most favored are the lively and lovely Gu Jieyu, who seems to be the granddaughter of the emperor's master, and Zhou Jieyu, who is both talented and beautiful. , but the rewards he received were not inferior to those of the two.

The iceberg beauty Liu Jieyu was quite favored in the first one or two months, but she was gradually neglected by the emperor in the past two months. Presumably the emperor was also very interested in seeing the iceberg beauty for the first time, and now she has lost interest, while other newcomers to the palace Most of the concubines probably have never been named by the emperor.

At this time, the concubine Xian, who formed an alliance with Baozhu because of jointly dealing with the empress dowager, secretly sent an inexplicable message from her confidant, the palace maid, after nearly two months.

"This palace wants Yang Meiren's child, no matter male or female, if they can help to fulfill their wish, I will fully support the fourth prince at the behest of Defei's younger sister from now on."

Baozhu gently stroked her slightly protruding abdomen, her watery clear eyes contained a soft light, after listening to the joyful report standing beside her, she turned to ask, "Miss Yang is giving birth soon?"

"Yes, master, the due date is about one month away."

"Well, what happened over there?"

"Back to the master, because Yang Meiren and Zhou Baolin lived together in Roufu Palace, they naturally paid more attention to it. The servants noticed that the queen seemed to have given up on Yang Meiren." Joyful knew that Yang Meiren secretly took refuge in the queen, so this child can be saved. Now.

"Oh? What's the sign?"

"In the past two months, apart from inviting An to stay at home, Yang Meiren has experienced various accidents. She even almost gave birth a few times, and her body seems to be getting weaker and weaker. She must be on the right track.

The servant girl began to suspect that it was the queen who wanted to leave the mother and keep the child, but later found out that it was not the queen. "

"In this palace, unfavored, low-ranking, and not strong enough family background, wanting to give birth to a royal heir in peace, is tantamount to idiotic dreams. However, Zhou Baolin refused to stop for a moment. What happened last night is terrible. Did you find out?" Baozhu snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"There is only a little gossip. It is said that the queen mother used Zhou Baolin to pray for the emperor as an excuse to persuade the emperor that the rain and dew should not chill Zhou Shangshu's heart. The emperor left with a dark face in anger. Baolin brand."

"Well, the emperor has his own way of doing things, so there is no need to worry too much. It is strange that the queen gave up on Yang Meiren. Either the queen is sure that Yang Meiren is pregnant with the princess, or the queen has a better choice. pregnancy?"

Baozhu's eyes flickered slightly, two or three months?Is there really such a coincidence in the world?She suddenly remembered that three months ago, Concubine Wei Gui and the Empress Dowager confronted tit for tat. When the war was about to break out, they suddenly reconciled. What made the Empress Dowager give up her revenge?What moved the Queen Mother?
Baozhu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed that she was too stupid, never guessed in this respect, and the divine doctor Xue entered the palace that day, presumably he had diagnosed it for the queen, so is there really nothing wrong with the queen's body?
Then the queen gave birth to the eldest princess for eight years. The biggest possibility is that the emperor didn't want her to give birth to a prince. She suddenly remembered the Qing palace birth form that was circulated on the Internet in her previous life. Could it be that the imperial physicians in the palace also studied this?
Baozhu couldn't help guessing, but it was only guessing. She was more willing to believe that the emperor had other means. How could the majestic king of a country have the leisure to pay attention to such trivial matters?

It can't be that the queen's luck is too bad. Every time she goes to bed in the past eight years is a safe period, right?Baozhu laughed a few times unkindly, and hurriedly pulled back her thoughts of running away, no longer entangled in this problem, and continued, "Happiness, what Xianfei wants, what do you think?"

In the palace, only concubines who are of the third rank or above are eligible to raise an heir. Yang Meiren is now only the fifth rank, even if she gives birth to a prince, as usual, she is only promoted to the fourth rank Jieyu, and she is still not eligible to raise an heir.

Of course, this depends on the attitude of the superior. If the emperor shows mercy, Yang Meiren will be promoted two levels in a row, and it will only be a matter of one sentence to reach the third rank.

However, she was not favored, and the chance of the emperor violating the ancestral system for her was almost zero, and he would definitely raise the child in other high-ranking concubines' palaces.

I am afraid that the only thing that can make Yang Meiren feel gratified is that under normal circumstances, a high-ranking child who raises a low-ranking concubine will not change Yudie. That is to say, the biological mother of Yudie's child is still Yang Meiren. After becoming the third grade, there is still a chance to get her child back.

At present, there are only a few people in the palace who are qualified to support. Although the queen was very active before, Baozhu is sure that even if the queen does not give up, even if the queen mother interferes, the emperor may not allow her to raise a prince.

The other high-ranking concubines all have children and are still young, so the possibility is extremely small. The most likely ones are Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhang Shu, who are also childless, but Concubine Zhang Shu is young and has a chance to give birth to her own children. Go, the one with the best chance is Concubine Xian.

Even though she doesn't say she's sure, Xianfei wouldn't make a big promise to ask for help, would she?Could it be that Concubine Xian is concerned about chaos, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong?
A light flashed in Baozhu's eyes, or could it be said that Concubine Xian is not satisfied with just raising Yang Meiren's child, what she wants is to change Yudie Ji to her own name?
Yes, the child who worked so hard for several years was taken back by his mother in a blink of an eye, and the bamboo basket was empty, which is really annoying; but the child was born in October after all, so he directly robbed him Children, too inhuman;
If it is more cruel to leave the mother and keep the child, and it is too sinister and risky, this matter will be difficult, Bao Zhu smiled bitterly, Xian Concubine tempted her, and such a big problem has arisen, can she ask for more rewards?
