Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 578 The Empress Is Sick 1
　The queen is sick.

The queen was scared a few days ago - by Ye Qiqi's letter.This is a shocking secret that has been sealed for a long time. More than 20 years ago, the current emperor Yuan Yiming was still the prince, and the current empress Deng was not the princess, but a side concubine. The princess was Zhu, the aunt of Zhu Xiaozhuang.

　Yuan Yiming's father, the emperor, made a request for Yuan Yiming's selection of the crown princess. It doesn't have to be like a fish and a wild goose, but she must have both ability and political integrity, a noble character, a noble personality, and a lady who can be a mother to the world. .

After the order to choose the crown princess was issued, beauty pageants across the country were immediately busy. After layers of screening and strict, comprehensive, and detailed comparisons, three young girls with outstanding appearance were selected.

　One is Zhu Xiaozhuang's aunt, Zhu Shi, who is both talented and beautiful, dignified and graceful, and knowledgeable; (the current queen), petite and exquisite, with wavy eyebrows and eyes, smart and smart.

　The empress of the past—the present empress dowager prefers the Zhu family. She thinks that the Zhu family is talented, intelligent, dignified and graceful, virtuous and enlightened. She is the only candidate to be the crown princess, the future empress.

　Yuan Yiming likes Deng Shi.

　Deng Shi is smart, good at observing words and demeanor, and also good at dealing with flattery, which is quite popular with Yuan Yiming.

　It's just that the queen was born in a famous family with a strong sense of family status.The Deng family has been in business for generations and made a fortune by selling wood. Although they are rich, their status is not high. It was not until Deng's grandfather became an official, a small seven-rank sesame official. Achieved the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Sanpin.

　But because of her low foundation, the queen didn't think much of her, she was picky in every possible way, saying that when choosing a concubine, she must choose a lady from everyone, and she couldn't choose Xiaojiabiyu, because Xiaojiabiyu couldn't be on the stage at all.

　Xiaojiabiyu's "jasper" is just a low-level piece of jade, and "Xiaojia" is definitely not a wealthy family. It's just a small and medium-sized family with no worries about food and clothing.

　The daughter of Xiaojiabiyu can only go to the kitchen, but not to the hall.

　As for the ladies, they are women from aristocratic families. They are often well-educated since they were young.

　In the eyes of the empress, Mrs. Deng is just a jade from a small family, and she can't be hooked to be a lady of the family at all.

　So Zhu became the crown princess, and Wu and Deng were side concubines.

　One year after the marriage, Zhu gave birth to Princess Jianping.

　Not long after, Zhu became pregnant again.But when Mrs. Zhu was three months pregnant, she contracted a strange disease. Inexplicably, many black spots appeared all over her body. At the beginning, they were as thin as the eyes of a needle, and later developed into the size of soybeans, and then gradually rotted. The charming and charming Zhu Shi was overwhelmed by a strange disease in a blink of an eye, and his life was at stake.All the doctors couldn't find out the reason and were helpless.

　The fetus in the womb was not born in time, and Zhu's family died.

　More than a year after Zhu's death, Deng and Wu were pregnant almost at the same time—to be precise, Wu was a month later than Deng.
