Chapter 132 Hands-On
After the tenth prince finished his calligraphy, he ordered someone to fetch water to wash his hands.
Pulling off the brocade handkerchief and wiping the drops of water between his fingers, he asked casually, "Is there any news from the palace recently?"
Since her tenth birthday has passed, since she moved into the Qiongjiu Palace, although she can theoretically go to the harem to pay her respects every day, she is no more informed about the sixth palace than when she lived with the empress before.
In the past two days, the imperial concubine who has been making a fuss in the six palaces has severe morning sickness, which he still doesn't quite understand.
At this moment, a close servant came up and said softly: "There is nothing serious in Liugong recently, but the imperial concubine is quite disturbed during her pregnancy, so that Liugong is concerned, and even His Majesty has come to visit again and again."
"It's just that the imperial concubine is concerned about the children in her womb, and she refuses to let the imperial physician use heavy medicines. After tossing about, since yesterday, she has had to stay on the couch to protect the pregnancy."
"Your mother and concubine are about to become grandmothers, so what are you going to do with such suffering?" The tenth prince curled his lips with some disdain, and said maliciously, "It's better to simply have an abortion and live in peace. .”
"Your Highness..." The attendant was a little worried and hesitated to speak, "The imperial concubine is powerful, this..."
The tenth prince didn't care too much: "Even if the concubine knows what the prince has said, so what? If there is no proof, how can I ask the father to take the prince? If she wants to have that face, she doesn't need to think of ways to do it all these years." It's aimed at the queen mother."
Both the left and the right knew about their master's temper, so they dared not make a sound.
The servant who had reported before said softly: "Your Highness, please be careful, the concubine's pregnancy this time is different from the last time she was pregnant with King Jin. Your Majesty pays special attention to her. I heard from the people in Taichu Palace... At this moment, the imperial concubine and empress do not know whether the heirs in the womb are male or female, but His Majesty has already chosen a name and a title, so that the imperial concubine and empress can choose freely. This is a kind of favor that even His Royal Highness King Qin has never had. This is still It hasn't landed yet, if it's after birth, I still don't know how His Majesty will pamper you. The servants in front of the imperial court speculate..."
As the Tenth Prince's face darkened instantly, he immediately fell silent.
"continue."
After hearing this, the waiter dared to continue: "The waiter in front of the imperial concubine guessed that when the imperial concubine was pregnant with His Royal Highness, the imperial concubine and the harem had not yet settled down, and the imperial concubine even made some plots so that she gave birth prematurely... For a while, His Majesty didn't have any worries in his heart, but wanted to make up for the imperial concubine, so he greeted the imperial concubine and loved her a lot. Even the emperor's heir is still in the womb, so he is valued and pampered by His Majesty .”
"I heard that even His Royal Highness King Jin is quite disappointed at the moment."
"After all, if the imperial concubine's concubine gave birth to an imperial daughter, it's all right. No matter how much she is favored, she is just like Princess Zhaoqing."
"But if he is also a prince, I really don't know what will happen in the future?"
The expression of the tenth prince changed, and he sneered and said, "Don't you worry about King Jin? He is the biological flesh and blood of your mother and concubine! Over the years, your mother and concubine have given loving mother's money to many children raised under her knees, but she treats him with respect. He has been strictly trained since he was a child, and it can be said that his desire to see his son become a dragon is clearly revealed... What is there to worry about? Even if he is another emperor's younger brother, with orderly seniority, can he go past him?"
The waiter reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the reason why His Majesty Jin Wang can be favored by His Majesty is simply because he is the flesh and blood of the imperial concubine. It is not because he has the ability to make His Majesty treat him differently! If this is the case, if Your Majesty and the imperial concubine dote on the future prince even more, so what can he do?"
"Besides, for the imperial concubine, whether it's the eldest son or the youngest son, whoever sits in that seat is her own mother!"
"If His Majesty is interested in the future little prince, how can he forcefully support His Royal Highness King Jin with the imperial concubine's good at flattering?"
"That's why His Royal Highness King Jin has been quite uneasy these past two days. He ran to the Huanhua Palace several times under the banner of paying his respects."
"Then he didn't say anything and did something?" The tenth prince's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "King Jin is not a cheap lamp! After all, he is the biological flesh and blood of the noble mother and concubine, and he is definitely not a good stubble!"
The waiter whispered: "Your Highness, after all, they are the biological mother and child...His Royal Highness saw the distressed appearance of the imperial concubine, but he didn't say anything."
"Trash." The tenth prince frowned and said in disgust, "However, this idiot's thinking is also simple. He is not the only child of the father. It is so naive to think so well!"
He pondered for a while, then said slowly, "In this way, let someone tell my great-grandfather, it's almost time for the East Palace to be registered at this moment."
"Since ancient times, there have been direct descendants."
"It is the emperor father who is wise and powerful, but because the emperor is a virtuous king, he will not listen to the concubine bewitched by your mother..."
"It just so happens that the imperial concubine has had severe morning sickness these past few days, so this should be a good opportunity for us to do it!"
"If the news spreads, the noble mother and concubine can't bear it, whether it's a slippery tire or something wrong, it's a long-term pain rather than a short-term pain, so I will be my prince and do my filial piety to my father."
"It's better than father and emperor not only taking care of everything, but also remembering the pregnancy of the noble mother and concubine."
The waiter agreed, and then asked in a low voice: "Where is the imperial concubine...?"
"Is it because you and I hang out in the palace for a long time, or is your mother and concubine good at it?" The tenth prince smiled disdainfully, and said softly, "Are you stupid to be a prince when you fight with your mother and concubine in the palace? Dou, go to the front court! The front court is established, and some women and Taoists in the harem, what kind of trouble can they make?"
...These words were passed to Yun Fenghuang, she couldn't help sighing, and said to the Qing people: "You can see it? Your Majesty's eyesight is higher than this palace. This little ten has never been very good. He treats brothers and sisters very well." There is no way to invite people to buy people's hearts, but looking at things, it hits the nail on the head."
Not only was she not deceived and tried to poison Xuanqing Palace, but she wanted to take this opportunity to incite the former imperial court...
It would be fine if it was carefully trained by someone, but the tenth prince's adoptive mother, the empress, is incompetent. Chunjia's side, as far as Yun Fenghuang knows, has not been clearly guided and educated, and has even done some deceptive acts. For example, it shows that Ming is very satisfied with the estrangement between the tenth prince and the empress in his heart, but on the surface he has repeatedly blamed the tenth prince for not respecting the empress enough.
Under such circumstances, the Tenth Prince's current level can only be said to be talented.
As for his usual behavior, the imperial concubine sighed, "I used to think that he was a child, and the empress blindly pampered him. It is not surprising that he has some bad habits. Looking at it now, I am afraid that he is a professional Made it for my palace to see."
Just imagine, if the tenth prince was not close to his adoptive mother since he was a child, he was still a well-behaved, sensible, friendly brother, courteous, understanding, considerate... prince, would Yun Fenghuang allow him to live until now?
That is trying to kill him by any means!
Look at the two princes in the palace who have a better reputation: the third prince and the seventh prince.
Because of his biological mother, the third prince has never been considered as a candidate for the heir apparent by the previous harem.
Coupled with the fact that he was not in a good situation since he was a child, it would be surprising if he behaved too arrogantly.
His humility, forbearance and low-key, are understandable.
It is not easy to cause killing intent.
After all, being born is inherently deficient, and in the eyes of a concubine like Yun Fenghuang who aspires to Qingci Palace, the priority is not high.
Not the kind of person who has to be killed.
As for the Seventh Prince, his pleasing temperament is a little more pure.
But this is because he has two extremely powerful elders above him to shield him from the wind and rain.
Moreover, he was not recorded under Yun Fenghuang's name, and the Yin family had no intention of cultivating him as the next king... In short, the third prince and the seventh prince have a good reputation and give people a good impression inside and outside, but in the competition for the crown prince In the position, they all have bruises.
Like the ten princes, they are noble princes in name.
However, the Queen's means were insufficient and she was too busy to take care of herself. Although Chunjia had sheltered him for these years, she obviously did not sideline him just because he was the eldest son.
It was just raising him in the side hall of Taichu Palace for a few years to ensure his safety.
She didn't even raise him alone, but raised the twelve princes together.
From the standpoint of the Tenth Prince, he is actually very nervous.
Because the most important thing he can do is his identity as the son of the eldest son. The problem is, he is not the only one after deducting the stupid king of Chu.
The Twelve Princes even had Gu's blood flowing.
Even if it wasn't for the fact that the daughter of the Gu family was pregnant too late, the tenth prince would have no chance to be recorded in the empress's name as the first son.
In this case, it is impossible for a child who is born with many eyes not to pretend.
Yun Fenghuang pinched the forehead, only thinking that there are talented people from generation to generation, and it's really bad if these little things are not cleaned up.
In contrast, among the few children she carefully taught, none of them could fight.
"When I first entered the palace, everyone felt that I was born in a humble family. Even if I gained power temporarily, it would not last long." The noble concubine couldn't help saying to the left and right, "It turned out that they were spoiled and spoiled, and they only became empresses because of their family background. The owner of the opportunity is not at all the opponent of this concubine who has been promoted step by step by herself. I didn't expect that the feng shui turns, and the children who rely on me to be favored can't compete with the queen's knees. Those two children who rely on themselves to make a living in the palace."
Of course she was talking about the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince.
The people of Qing Dynasty felt sorry for the imperial concubine's analysis, but they still argued for their highness: "Our highness is born with great blessings, but we don't care about them. Otherwise, how could they be ours?" Your Highness's opponent?"
Then he said, "Besides, with how scheming they are, aren't they all under the control of the empress now? It can be seen how can they compare with the empress back then? The empress is both smart and lucky. These people, how lucky are they?" is not enough."
Yun Fenghuang was just feeling a little emotional, after all, no matter how outstanding the child is, she is not in front of her, but an opponent, so the more outstanding the child, the less he can keep it.
She watched the ginkgo leaves falling outside the glazed window, and said slowly: "The weather is fine today, let this child stay with me for one more day... just tomorrow."
The next day, the imperial concubine finally stopped the morning sickness.
Hegong was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and even Chunjia was quite happy to receive the report, and even opened a private treasury to reward Huanhua Palace and the imperial physician, but in the evening, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Yun Fenghuang suddenly fell into a coma!
When the news came out, Liugong was shocked!
