Chapter 125 Congratulations
Because the second prince died young, he was sent out to be buried without even having a funeral.

After a while, there was no trace of the Second Prince and Concubine Jing in the palace.

Yuan Shuhua said to Li Jialuo: "You said she made such a toss and ended up like this, did she regret it?"

I lost my life, and even lost my child.

She wants a child, but she can't. Why doesn't this person take her child seriously?
However, Li Jialuo knew that for some women in the palace, children are just tools to fight for favor. If the child is sick, it can attract the emperor's visit. , but also let the emperor not forget himself.

Such things are probably common.Those like Concubine Jing are more powerful.

Or, if she wants to give it a go, if she succeeds, she will be able to return to Chonghua Palace.

But she didn't expect that failure would take her and her child's life away.

Li Jialuo had no sympathy for Concubine Jing at all. If the emperor had not given Concubine Jing to death, Li Jialuo would not have let her live, because this time she almost killed her two children.For Li Jialuo, the two closest to her in this palace are her two children, and if something happens to any of them, she will be heartbroken.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, it was a big deal, mainly because of the bad luck of going to the palace. In the past year, Concubine Zhuang died, Concubine Jing was also given death, and a prince also died, which made everyone feel that the power was dark. It's heavy, so in this festival, it needs to be done even more.

Make it lively, so that the gloomy atmosphere can be eliminated.

Even wives who are of high grade are invited to the palace.

Yun's brought good news to Li Jialuo, that is, Wu Wanting is pregnant.

Although to Li Jialuo, this news is just so-so, but to Yun, Wu Wanting is his own flesh and blood, and Wu Wanting and the imperial concubine are related by blood, and there are only benefits and no harm in going to the palace to say it.

After hearing this, Li Jialuo said, "It's also very good. After becoming a mother, my temperament can be calmer."

Yun's heart said, she needs to be more calm, now Wanting doesn't know how dull she is, when she returns to her mother's house, she behaves in a well-behaved manner, and talks a lot less than before, and there are two foster mothers by her side.

Yun's heart ached when she saw it, but there was nothing she could do. After all, this was the best way for her daughter.

Li Jialuo knew what Yun meant, but it was just icing on the cake, so he chose some materials, medicinal materials, etc., and asked Hu Po to take people to Lian's house and send things to Wu Wanting.

The people of the Lian family have a lot of rules. Generally, the daughters-in-law of this family do not leave the door. They will only leave the door of the Lian family unless they are going to a banquet.

Wu Wanting has never stopped since the first day she got married. She challenged the Lian family's rules, and her words made people feel very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Lian, who is Wu Wanting's mother-in-law, took the family rules directly and asked Wu Wanting to copy it a hundred times first, and then say it again.

At that time, Wu Wanting and her husband, the second master of the Lian family, were newlyweds, and it was the time when the honey was mixed with oil. Wu Wanting didn't obey the discipline, and instead of talking to her mother-in-law, she directly sued her husband.

Because when she was a child, her parents had a very good relationship. Usually, if her mother and her grandmother had conflicts, it was often her father who would support her mother. Therefore, Wu Wanting also felt that she and her husband had a good relationship, and her husband would definitely Backing her up.

Unexpectedly, things backfired, and the husband was a little annoyed when he heard this, thinking that his wife, how could he say anything wrong with his mother? It's over.

Then she slept in the study by herself at night, making Wu Wanting angry.In the first round, it was completely defeated!

Because she didn't finish copying, the second master of the Lian family would not come back, and the Lian family looked up and down, feeling that Wu Wanting was not good, and slept separately from her husband.

She is a new daughter-in-law with a thin skin, so she gritted her teeth and copied the family rules a hundred times.

I handed it over to Mrs. Lian. Mrs. Lian read the house rules, not only did she not say that she copied it well, she also said that she was impatient, and she must refrain from arrogance and impetuosity in the future. In this way, let her hold Mrs. Lian to eat fast and chant Buddha together. It took a few days before the person was released.

This time, Wu Wanting was made a little ashamed.

I want to go back and file a complaint, but usually, if it's not a festival or a banquet, the daughter-in-law is not allowed to go out, she didn't even touch the door.

Once you get married and become the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, it is impossible to come and go freely.

Well, Wu Wanting was suppressed temporarily, but she was not convinced. At first, she didn't want to use the name of imperial concubine in the palace at all. After all, she had irreconcilable conflicts with Wu Wanzhen, and she was a bit arrogant, so Disdain to continue Wu Wanzhen's name.

Since she married the second master of the Lian family, there must be a master of the Lian family.

Wu Wanting also looked down on her sister-in-law, thinking that she was rigid and boring, and her family background was not high. When she was her sister-in-law, she didn't have any respect in her heart.

Usually she looks indifferent, and even the eldest grandma doesn't care about her, because before Wu Wanting married, even the eldest grandma knew what kind of temperament she was.

That's right, the grandma of the Lian family had inquired about it, but she didn't care, anyway, if she entered the Lian family, she would become well-behaved sooner or later.

In Wu Wanting's confrontation with the grandma of the Lian family, there were victories and losses. Generally speaking, there were more losses and fewer victories.

Because the eldest grandma of the Lian family has rules compared to Wu Wanting, and she has children, but Wu Wanting, the new wife, has not yet had a child. In terms of seniority and the degree of admiration of the servants of the Lian family, they are not as good in everything. People, so Wu Wanting bowed again.

In addition, with the passage of time, her stomach has not moved, and she feels a little empty in her heart.

But the Lian family has an advantage, that is, without the birth of the eldest son, there can be no concubine sons, which makes Wu Wanting feel that it is beneficial to marry into the Lian family.

With a guilty conscience and no heirs, Wu Wanting calmed down all at once.

This time she was pregnant and sent news to her natal family. Mrs. Yun came to see her specially, and thanked Mrs. Lian for being tolerant of Wu Wanting's temper.

Her own daughter knew it herself, and just like that, her family didn't treat her badly. After waiting for several years, she finally got her daughter pregnant, and she didn't even have a concubine.

So even if the Lian family is a very strict family with many rules, the Yun family does not regret it.

It is because there are so many rules that they will not mess around and make things like doting on concubines and killing wives.

If her daughter really meets such a person, she will definitely become more irritable!
Maybe I can't stay in Lian's house anymore.

Wu Wanting saw Hu Po, and Hu Po gave the things to the servants on the side, and Mrs. Lian and her two daughters-in-law knelt down to thank her.

After all, it was rewarded by the imperial concubine in the palace.Moreover, Concubine Wu not only gave things to her second daughter-in-law, but also rewarded her and the eldest daughter-in-law.

In the past, Mrs. Lian had never gone to the palace to look for Concubine Wu Guifei, because they were connected to each other, Mr. Lian was the censor, and it was best not to get involved with the people in the harem.

Even the adults, the people who usually attend, have nothing to do with the Wu family, let alone the imperial concubine.

Moreover, in the past few years, Concubine Wu has not done anything that people can participate in, except that she is more favored, but being favored is being favored, but she also gave birth to two princes, who can be regarded as people who have contributed to the royal blood .

Isn't the main purpose of choosing concubines in the palace to continue the royal bloodline?People have already done it, and others have nothing to say.

What's more, I have never heard that Concubine Wu Gui is that kind of charming person.

Therefore, Mrs. Lian was a little tolerant towards her second daughter-in-law. She used to be afraid that she would disobey discipline because she had an older sister who was a favorite concubine in the palace. (That's because Wu Wanting disdains the glory of the imperial concubine, but Mrs. Lian doesn't know that Wu Wanting thinks so.)
After giving Wu Wanting something this time, Wu Wanting was still a little awkward, but Li Jialuo didn't care if she was awkward or not. Giving rewards was the attitude he should express after knowing the "good news", otherwise his own sister would have If you don't ask about good news, it will definitely be criticized.

It's just a reward for something, and she won't feel bad.

There are too many things she gave to others in the past.

"Prince Xin's mother? What is she looking for in this palace?" Li Jialuo and Concubine Xin met during the New Year's Eve banquet. At that time, Concubine Xin was looking for the clothes she wanted Luo Er to wear, and she asked Hu Po to prepare them.

After that, she seldom saw Princess Xin.

Not to mention Xin Wangfei's mother, she has never dealt with her before.

Princess Xin's mother is the wife of a scholarly family, her husband is Hanlin, and Princess Xin's surname is Hu.

Now that the sign had been handed over, Li Jialuo did not refuse to see Mrs. Hu because he went to Queen Zhao first.

Mrs. Hu was waiting outside, afraid that she would be too abrupt and displease the imperial concubine.

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine still saw him. This Changchun Palace is really nice, grand and elegant, but Mrs. Hu didn't dare to look at it too much.

Although she is the mother of Concubine Xin, everyone knows the situation of Concubine Xin in Prince Xin's Mansion.

Mrs. Hu visited the imperial concubine, took a look at the imperial concubine, and found that the noble concubine was dignified and did not look like a favorite concubine at all. In Mrs. Hu's heart, the favorite concubine must be very foxy, which is why she learned from her. Believe in the experience gained from Wang's son-in-law.

So sometimes, this experience is not accurate. Mrs. Hu's impression of the imperial concubine has improved, and the imperial concubine has also done her daughter a favor. She came here this time to thank her.

Li Jialuo said with a smile: "Mrs. Hu said, Princess Xin just gave birth to a son this morning?"

This news must have just been sent to the palace, otherwise Li Jialuo would not have been unaware.

Mrs. Hu smiled and said: "Yes, I gave birth this morning, weighing more than seven catties. He is a fat boy. Thanks to the clothes that the empress gave the princess, otherwise how could the princess have such a good thing?"

It was about giving clothes to Princess Xin Luoer back then.

Is this a coincidence, where can I get that clothes and give birth to a son?
Li Jialuo hurriedly said: "This is the blessing of Princess Xin herself, and here in this palace, it is nothing."

Mrs. Hu hurriedly waved her hands, and said: "We will always remember the great kindness and virtue of the empress to us. The princess herself can't come because of childbirth, so the minister's wife is here to kowtow to the empress first." After Mrs. Hu finished speaking, she knelt down Kowtow three times to Li Jialuo.

Li Jialuo hurriedly got Mrs. Hu up, and said: "Your thank you is too heavy, and please Mrs. Hu not to be so polite, I really haven't done anything."

The matter of having a child is a matter between men and women, and it is half and half to have a boy or a girl. Who knows whether a son or a daughter will be born.

But Mrs. Hu felt that the imperial concubine was too polite. You must know that after Concubine Xin gave birth to a son, her position would be more stable. King Xin was so happy to have a son. Generally, who can have a son, who would like to have a son.

If in the past, her daughter's position in Prince Xin's Mansion was not stable, wouldn't it mean that she didn't have a son?Now that they have a son, do those vixens who believe in the palace dare to disrespect their daughters?
Before they had a son, others looked at their daughters with sympathy and pity, but now that they have a son, they still look at them like this!

So the imperial concubine is the great benefactor of their family.She only kowtowed three times, all lightly.

Finally, the thankful Mrs. Hu was sent away.Li Jialuo himself breathed a sigh of relief.

Because in front of Mrs. Hu, she felt inexplicably guilty. The clothes she brought to Princess Xin back then were really not Luo Er's.Just giving her clothes, Princess Xin feels at ease, so it's easy to get pregnant?
But it's really a joke to say that it's really because of that dress that it has such a magical effect.

Amber also smiled, and said to Li Jialuo: "Master, do you think the people from the Hu family will tell you about it? Isn't it that the empress has become a Guanyin for giving away children, and there are many people who come to the empress to ask for clothes. went."

Xiao Liuzi heard this and said: "Our lady is the master, how many people are there who are qualified to ask for things? So there is no need to worry about it at all, the lady refuses if she wants to, and she doesn't have to be afraid of offending others."

Amber listened and nodded, "That's very true. If everyone came over to ask for clothes, wouldn't our Changchun Palace be full of people coming and going? This is impossible."

Li Jialuo said with a smile: "If you really can't refuse, when they feel unsure, they won't ask me for it."

As long as anyone who gave birth to a daughter knows that this matter is not allowed, the enthusiasm will disappear.

However, it is true that like what Xiaoliuzi said, not everyone can ask for things from him.

The identity of the superior is still easy to use, and this is a harem, not everyone can enter the palace.

"Let the palace people in Changchun Palace also remember, don't be greedy for cheap, just promise others anything, when the time comes, I will know, but I won't obey!"

If she can't get anything from this imperial concubine, it's hard to guarantee that she won't get the idea of ​​a servant here, and it's not difficult to ask for a little prince's old clothes.

If you don't tell them, they don't think it's an important thing, and it will be bad if they are used by others, so you have to be careful to gain a foothold in this harem.

Both Xiaoliuzi and Hu Po respectfully responded, this deserves everyone's attention.

However, when the emperor came over, Li Jialuo joked about this matter to the emperor, mainly not because he was afraid of people outside, but because people in the palace would come to his Changchun Palace to seek a son after they knew about it. , there are many things about the women in the palace, and in order to cause unnecessary trouble, the emperor must know about it first.

"Your majesty, what if everyone believed it and came to my concubine to ask for Luoer's old clothes? It would be bad if I didn't give it to you, but if I did, it would mean that I would hate my concubine if he didn't give birth to a son. ?”

The emperor said: "How can this kind of thing be done with just a piece of clothing? In the future, if anyone comes to ask you for it, he will send someone to find me. Only if I agree will it count." The emperor also knew that there must be some Trouble, since the third prince and the fourth prince had chickenpox, the emperor has been more concerned about the Changchun Palace, and children who have had chickenpox will never regenerate in the rest of their lives, and the chance of growing up is higher than others .

"Remember, you are a noble concubine. In this palace, except for the queen mother and empress, no one dares to ask you to do anything!" said the emperor.
