Chapter 107: The Queen of the Heavenly Family, My Family's First Daughter

The younger sisters who were placed with high hopes were not up to the mark one by one, but the old subordinates who didn't care much were happy. Queen Gu Zhen's mood was naturally very complicated.

What made her even more troublesome was that Ping Xianyi was following such an unfavorable master as her. Ever since she was a concubine, the emperor's favor was very rare.

I am very happy to be a concubine, and I don't even expect to be able to conceive an emperor's heir.

So after Cheng Xing didn't take it to heart at all, he lived as he wanted.

Isn't it hot now?

She just ate cold food to cool off the heat, and thought about going to the queen to say hello to her if she had nothing to do, and rubbing the ice drink at the queen's side. In short, I don't pay attention to how I feel happy.

As a result, the day was not comfortable, and it was said that she drank too much ice. Who knew that the imperial doctor would give her congratulations as soon as she got a pulse, so she was happy. I was also told that because I don’t eat food these days, the fetus looks a little unstable. It is recommended to rest on the couch for three months For two months, take precautions.

"Your Majesty, what should I do with my concubine?" Ping Xianyi cried out to the queen, "Soon the emperor will send the Empress Dowager and the two empress dowagers to Qishan Palace, if the concubine goes together, If you can't bear it on the way, then... how can you be worthy of the empress's love? But if you stay in the palace, and the empress is not around, the concubine will have nothing in her heart!"

Gu Zhen said sullenly: "You still mean to talk? You are such a big man, and you are one of the nine concubines anyway, so you can't control your own mouth?! You see, Qu Shi and Yi Shi also came from a poor family and were promoted by the imperial concubine. Your status is not as high as yours, and no one is so greedy! If you are not greedy, why are you like this?"

Ping Xianyi has a very good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and immediately knelt down and said that it was all his own fault. He knew that he was wrong, and he would never dare to do it again. He begged the empress to show mercy, and don't be as knowledgeable as her. , must keep her child.

After all, if Chunjia is alive, she is now one of the nine concubines and the queen's direct descendant. As long as she doesn't commit suicide, generally speaking, life will not be much worse.

But once there is something wrong with the emperor who is serving, let alone nine concubines, even a noble concubine with no heirs under her knees, that is also her life in the palace.

Ping Xianyi was born as a court lady, because she was beautiful and pleasing, she was recommended to Chunjia by Gu Zhen. If she was thrown into the palace, there would be no one in the family to help her make her live more comfortably. .

Besides, if she can be a concubine and have a child under her knees, why should she go to that ghostly place and wait to die?

It's okay if I didn't expect it before, but now that she is pregnant, of course Ping Xianyi has to work hard. For her, it doesn't matter if she is a man or a woman, the key is to be born and live, so even if she is a princess, she still can't. My favorite princess, she has something to rely on when she grows old.

So at this moment, he is pestering the queen not to let go, telling her to do whatever she wants, but she must keep the heir in her womb.

The Queen is in trouble.

It is impossible for her to stay in the palace for the sake of a concubine's pregnancy and not go to the palace to escape the summer heat.

Not to mention the weight of Ping Xianyi, this matter is not up to the Queen to decide.

Because it is filial piety to accompany the emperor to serve their imperial grandmother and queen mother to escape the summer heat. Unless the empress dowager speaks to the two empress dowagers, how can anyone say that he is a serious granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law who neglects his grandmother and empress mother for the sake of a concubine's pregnancy? reason?

It's not the time for Chunjia to have nothing to do.

It is strange that the empress dowager and the two empress dowagers are willing to speak this way.

But as Ping Xianyi said, since this pregnancy is unstable, it is of course safer not to go to the palace.

In this way, leaving her alone in the palace, Ping Xianyi is not at ease, how can Gu Zhen relax?

"This matter is too sudden, and I can't think of any safe solution for a while." Gu Zhen thought for a long time, and finally had to tell the truth, "You go back to have an abortion first, and I can think of a way."

Ping Xianyi left with tears in her eyes.

Gu Zhen discussed with the left and right how to deal with this matter?

Master and servant are very sad.

Not only to keep Ping Xianyi's child, but also thinking that it would be fine if Ping Xianyi gave birth to a princess, but what if she gave birth to a prince?

The queen is in urgent need of a healthy prince. If Ping Xianyi gives birth to a male heir, she should be willing to raise him for the queen.

but……

If Gu Shao, Gu Liman and the others are sure that they will not give birth to a prince in the future, or that it will take many years to give birth to a prince, that's fine.

If the two Gu daughters were able to give birth to male heirs, Gu Zhen would not be able to have the prince born by Ping Xianyi.

Otherwise, this child will be ranked ahead of the prince born by Gu's daughter. If he is the son of the eldest son, there will be troubles when he becomes the heir.

"Either way, if Ping Zhaoyuan gives birth to a prince, it will be recorded in her own name first, and the decision will be made later?" The servant suggested.

But it was quickly rejected by his companions: "In this way, this little prince will be a concubine, and it will be troublesome if he wants to record it under his mother's name in the future."

The point is that Gu Zhen doesn't have a strong voice in the palace, and concubines and the like may come out to disrupt the situation.

And as far as Concubine Min's temperament is concerned, she will disrupt the situation 100% of the time.

A group of people discussed for a long time, but failed to come up with a perfect solution. In the end, the queen had to ask her natal family for help again.

This time, Old Master Gu is still cutting through the mess quickly: "King Qin is three years old. After the summer vacation is over, it will be the New Year's Eve after returning to the palace, and it will be four years old in the coming year... Children grow up so fast, and they can go to school right away. The emperor is right The favor of Xuanqing Palace, can you not invite a famous teacher for him? He is the grandson of Duke Yi's mansion, and with the help of his teacher, he may have unreasonable ambitions in the future. At this moment, Ping Zhaoyuan is happy It's a good thing. She is a person promoted by the empress, so she should be facing the empress anyway. Therefore, the offspring born by her should be recorded in the empress's name and raised by the empress."

Mrs. Zhao Wubo wondered: "But if the nieces and they also give birth to male heirs, Ping Zhaoyuan's heirs are older!"

"What does that matter?" Old Master Gu's tone was very flat, "The real eldest son of His Majesty is King Qi, not King Qin, but now, how many people remember King Qi? The ranking is not static."

Mrs. Zhao Wu was startled, then forced a smile and said: "Yes."

...The words turned to Gu Zhen, and Gu Zhen was speechless for a while.

"In fact, Ping Zhaoyuan still can't tell a man and a woman, and she may not be the little prince." Mrs. Zhao Wu knows that although her daughter is not ruthless to outsiders, she still loves her own people very much. Although Ping Xianyi is not the Gu family The family has a son, but since she took refuge in Gu Zhen, she has always been well-behaved, obedient, sensible and docile. Gu Zhen raised her to be Zhaoyuan. Apart from saving and cultivating her own influence, she also really likes this confidant.

It is not impossible for her to count on the enemy's children, such as the eighth prince born by Yuan Zhiniang.

However, Ping Xian should...

Looking at Gu Zhen's pale face, Mrs. Zhao Wubo persuaded in a low voice, "That's what your grandfather said, but he was just planning for the worst. Besides, it still depends on your Majesty who will be appointed as the reserve in the future. The prince born by Ping Zhaoyuan has not yet grown up, but Gu Shao and Gu Liman will give birth to your heir, so if you let the child be more playful, His Majesty will naturally give up on him, and you don't have to do anything to him."

Gu Zhen panicked in his heart: "But if His Majesty doesn't give up on him, if the officials still ask for an older son...he must die after all, right?"

Mrs. Uncle Zhaowu sighed lightly, and did not answer her daughter's words directly, but said: "My son, you are the queen of the Tian family and the daughter of my family. This position and these two identities have never been so simple."

Seeing that Gu Zhen was silent, she changed the topic, "It's too early to talk about this now, let's talk about how to save Ping Zhaoyuan's pregnancy. The meaning of the family is that, as a queen, you can't do it for Ping's family." The first child, stay here and not go to the palace! But it is not the case for Empress Dowager Qu or Concubine Min. The family plans to have a talk with them to see if they are willing to help and protect Ping family a little bit?"

Gu Zhen frowned and said, "Concubine Min is very ambitious, I'm afraid that Ping's family will have a miscarriage, how could she agree to such a condition? As for Empress Dowager Qu, she might lend a helping hand because Ping's family is pregnant with her own grandson." , but her own status in the palace is just like that, can she have that ability?"

Mrs. Zhaowu Bo said lightly: "Others look down on Empress Dowager Qu, why are you so confused? Think about it, you have always been respectful and filial to that person in Chunlang Palace, who has ever been soft on us? Even if Empress Dowager Qu did nothing, Chong With her status as the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, who can accommodate her in Chunlang Palace? After many years, Empress Qu is still alive and well, and she is still sitting firmly in the empress dowager's seat, and even raised her up. A princess, is this incompetent?"

"It was your grandfather's idea to entrust Concubine Min with Empress Dowager Qu. In my opinion, Empress Dowager Qu is more credible."

"After all, as you said, Your Majesty is not the real child of Chunyou Palace, so she was relentless when she murdered Su'er's unborn child. But any of Your Majesty's children are the biological grandchildren of Empress Dowager Qu. How could Empress Dowager Qu have pity?"

Mrs. Uncle Zhao Wu narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Even if Empress Dowager Qu doesn't really care about it, she still has to act as if she valued her bloodline, right? Otherwise, how can she win His Majesty's trust?"

After all, Empress Dowager Qu never raised Chunjia, and she didn't even get along with Chunjia much.

Her only hole card is that the two are biological mother and son, and they are related by blood.

If this Empress Dowager is like Empress Yuan, who doesn't take her grandchildren seriously, and if Chunjia sees it, won't she also think that the same thing happened to her biological mother, and there is no need to pay more attention?

"..." Gu Zhen pinched his forehead, "Forget it, that's it."

The next day she went to Jiashan Palace to seek an audience in person, and told the Queen Mother Qu who was surprised by her intentions.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Qu readily agreed after only a little consideration, and said that the queen had lost weight, and asked her to pay more attention to her body: "Otherwise, how can I share your worries for Your Majesty?"

Although he knew that this might just be a casual polite remark, but because of the comparison made by Queen Mother Yuan, Gu Zhen felt very moved...

When she returned to Chongchang Palace, she even fantasized that if Empress Dowager Yuan died, her mother-in-law would be just Empress Dowager Qu.

On the eve of this year's summer vacation, there was another event, that is, Concubine Shu Ouyang Fu was due to give birth, and after a lot of struggle, she gave birth to the fourth princess.

She had been a little sleepy on the eve of giving birth, and after giving birth to the fourth princess, she almost bled heavily. It took a long time for the imperial doctor to stabilize her, and finally she did not follow in the footsteps of Concubine Wen Huixian.

After becoming an important minister, Concubine Shu's treatment is of course not comparable to that of Ping Xianyi.

Although she also had to stay in the palace for confinement and could not go to the palace to escape the summer heat, the empress did not need to discuss with the emperor, so she gave the female family members of Ouyang family the grace to accompany them in the palace.

Once this matter is dealt with, it's time to set off.

Learning from Gu Su's lesson, Gu Zhen went to the Pingxianyi Palace before leaving. She was told to be careful, especially to guard against anything under the banner of herself, Gu Su, Gu Shao, Gu Liman and even the Gu family. People and things close by.

In fact, she doesn't need to talk about the importance of being ordinary and delicate. She is not the queen's blood sister, like Gu Su, no matter how noisy she is after the miscarriage, Gu Zhen will still protect her, and will continue to fight for her opportunities.

Ping Xianyi knew very well in his heart that when the queen herself was not favored, it was a blessing to have such a child. Once she missed it, she would never have such a blessing again in this life.

So she made up her mind that no one could do anything to her publicly for the sake of the emperor's heir during her pregnancy, so do as she was safe.

She doesn't intend to give anyone face.

She was so careful, but the results were outstanding. Even after the end of this year's summer vacation, Shengjia accompanied the empress dowager and the empress dowager back to the palace in a mighty way. No more need to worry about lying on the couch.

After Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, she turned her head to look at Gu Shao and Gu Liman, feeling a little annoyed.

During the summer vacation, Chunjia visited many times because of her request and for the sake of the Gu family's face, but I don't know if it's because of her physique or the fate of her children. This month, Guishui still arrived as scheduled.

Concubine De, on the other hand, broke the news of her pregnancy again the day after she came back from the summer vacation.

"It seems that the palace can only hope that Mrs. Ping will get a man in one fell swoop!" Gu Zhen sighed, looking at the roster of concubines in his hand, "Madam Rou Kun is getting older, and it is time to continue serving Your Majesty."

There is one more person to be favored, and she is still a high-ranking concubine who needs to be given basic respect by the princess of a foreign country. Even if Chunjia gives the Gu family face, the number of times she can give it to the Gu sisters will decrease.

If things go on like this, how long will Gu Shao and Gu Liman be lucky?

It wasn't just the middle palace who had a headache for the heir, Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift to the Yijia Palace next door, and his expression became a little lonely.

"Your Majesty is still young, maybe the fate has not come yet." The Qing people knew that she was in a bad mood, and motioned for the others to back down, and he stepped forward to comfort her softly, "And King Qin and His Highness Zhaoqing are both filial and lovely."

Yun Fenghuang didn't take it seriously: "Now they rely on me for food, clothing, housing, transportation and even the emperor's favor, so they are naturally cute and cute. As for the future, who knows?"

In the past, Chunjia could be used as a model to prove that adopted sons can be very reliable.

But the facts of the past two years have proved that Chunjia is not as reliable as expected for Queen Mother Yuan.

Now she looks at King Qin and the Seventh Prince with kindness on their faces, but she always wonders in her heart whether they will be like Chunjia when they grow up, lying to herself to worry about them, and throwing them aside after they are useless ?

It would have been better not to have given them that much in the first place.

After all, she is not the kind of real loving mother.

"In the future, if you teach me well, why won't you continue to be filial to you?" The Qing people actually hoped that Yun Fenghuang would have his own flesh and blood. But how should I put it, since I was born in October, I will admit it even if I don't live up to it.

But in other people's lives, they are very angry if they spend their hearts and lungs in exchange for wolf-heartedness.

I always felt that I was blind and didn't see the essence of the bastard.

Now that there is no news from Yun Fenghuang, she can only coax her with her true thoughts, "Besides, think about Concubine Wen Huixian, Concubine Shu and Concubine De, who gave birth last time. In the coffin?"

That's true.

Although Yun Fenghuang wanted to have her own son now, but she was absolutely unwilling to trade her own life.

Hearing this, her complexion gradually eased, and she turned to ask the concubine Zhu Shi: "She is coming to an end, how are you getting ready?"
