In the Zhaoyang Palace, Queen Xie learned that Emperor Zhou Wu had rewarded Liang Zhaoyi with something, and she was confused: "It's so good, why did the emperor suddenly reward Liang Zhaoyi with something?"
Jiang Chuan didn't understand either: "This has not yet come to the day when Liang Zhaoyi is sleeping. Liang Zhaoyi has not seen the emperor during this period, let alone sent anything to Chengguang Hall. It is really strange that the emperor suddenly rewards Liang Zhaoyi with something. "
Queen Xie never took Liang Zhaoyi seriously. The only person she could consider as her opponent was Concubine Rong. Even Concubine De and Concubine Shu were ignored by her.
"Perhaps the emperor has a whim."
"Then, do you want to give something to Liang Zhaoyi?" Every time the emperor gave something to the concubines in the harem, the queen would also give a reward.
"Give her a few pieces of material." Queen Xie didn't take this matter seriously. "Let others deliver her reward. You and I will go to Yongxin Palace."
At this time, Grandma Sun held the gift of Guanyin in a brocade box with both hands.
"Ask Meng Gang to send the imperial physician and the beauty to Prince Dai's Mansion." Queen Xie ordered.
"Your Majesty, why don't you bring this beauty to Concubine Rong to see?" Jiang Chuan asked.
"Take it to her. She will definitely be dissatisfied. Send it directly to Prince Dai's Mansion."
"Yes, concubine."
Queen Xie raised her lips and smiled maliciously: "Let's go to Yongxin Palace."
A gloating smile appeared on Jiang Chuan's face: "Yes, empress."
Queen Xie held Jiang Chuan's hand and walked toward Yongxin Palace.
Another palace maid, Baizhu, took some pieces of cloth from last year and went to Kunde Hall.
In the Yongxin Palace, Concubine Rong was very angry when she heard that everyone was saying that the acting king was not good enough and could not have any heirs. Just now, I got very angry.
"Your Majesty, be careful of your anger." Jin Mei brought a cup of chrysanthemum tea, "My Majesty, drink some tea first to calm down your anger."
Concubine Rong took the tea cup with a livid face. After taking a few sips of tea, the anger in her heart did not diminish. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she smashed the tea cup on the ground.
Seeing that Concubine Rong had a hand full of tea, Jin Mei quickly took out a kerchief from her sleeve and squatted on the ground to wipe Concubine Rong's hands.
"Mother, what should you do if you become so angry?"
"How can I, the Duke of Zhen, humiliate the King like this?" Concubine Rong's face turned uglier because of her anger, "Sooner or later, I will make the Xie family pay for their blood debt!"
"Your Majesty, there should be good news from the palace soon. By then, this rumor will be disproven."
"It's all because of Changying's poor stomach." Concubine Rong Gui was originally very satisfied with her biological niece, after all, she grew up beside her. Furthermore, her niece was well trained by her. Now that the king was ridiculed because he had no heirs, Concubine Rong became dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law. "I have been married to the king for two years, but there is no news about my stomach."
Jin Mei thought that this could not only be blamed on Princess Dai, but at this time Concubine Rong blamed Princess Dai because she could not put in a good word for Princess Dai.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for Princess Dai to take good care of herself?"
Concubine Rong nodded lightly: "Let Dr. Xu go." Dr. Xu is the best gynecologist in the palace.
Jin Mei consoled her, "My dear, you don't have to worry too much. Doctor Xu is here to nurse the princess back and give birth to a baby. The princess will definitely be pregnant soon."
"It's best." Concubine Rong said, with a look of self-blame on her face, "It's all my fault for being careless. I should have sent an imperial physician to Chang Ying just a few months after they got married. Look, it will save you from being laughed at by everyone in the world now."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness was sent by the Emperor to quell the chaos just a few months after getting married. Your Highness even wants a child and has no time to do so."
"I originally asked him to bring one or two people to serve him by his side. He said there could be no women in the military camp and rejected my proposal." Concubine Rong said, "If he had listened to me, he would have brought one or two people to serve him by his side. , I have already given birth to a grandson."
"Empress, our Highness is a person of etiquette. What will the Princess do if the concubine becomes pregnant first?" Jin Mei persuaded, "The Princess is His Highness's cousin. The two grew up together, how could Your Highness let her go?" Embarrassing the princess.”
"He was reluctant to embarrass the princess, and he ended up being laughed at."
"Your Majesty, the princess will have good news soon." Jin Mei continued to comfort Concubine Rong, "When the Kong family girl enters the palace and can do something for His Highness, don't worry too much."
Concubine Rong suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly: "Kong Taichang's family doesn't have many heirs. I remember that he only has two sons."
"There are also two daughters, and the Kong family girl is the youngest daughter." Jin Mei said, "The four children of the Kong family were all born to Mrs. Kong. Kong Taichang did not have concubines, and relatively speaking, he had not many heirs. "
"If you put it that way, it's not too bad." Concubine Rong said with a worried look on her face, "I am worried that Kong Taichang's little daughter is not a fertile person."
"Mother, you are so..."
While they were talking, Nanny Shi walked in and respectfully reported to Concubine Rong: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here."
Concubine Rong frowned when she heard this, with an unhappy look on her face: "What is she here for?"
Jin Mei guessed: "Your Majesty, the Queen is afraid that the visitor is not good."
Concubine Rong guessed Queen Xie's purpose, and her bright face suddenly turned gloomy and cold.
"She came just in time."
She said to Aunt Shi, "Let her come in."
According to the rules, Concubine Rong should get up and go out to greet Queen Xie, but she did not. Instead, she sat in the hall, waiting for Queen Xie to come in.
Nanny Shi walked up to Queen Xie and said, "Queen, please come in."
When Jin Mei heard this, her face was full of anger, and she yelled at Nanny Shi: "How outrageous! How dare you let the Queen in? Has the Queen forgotten the dignity of superiors and inferiors?"
Aunt Shi stood aside and said nothing.
Queen Xie was not angry, and still had a kind expression on her face: "Tell Concubine Rong that I am here based on the emperor's instructions. If she doesn't come out, I will leave."
After hearing this, Aunt Shi had a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then hurried back.
"Your Majesty, the Queen said she came here based on the Emperor's oral instructions."
"Your Majesty's decree?" Concubine Rong stood up immediately, straightened her appearance, and immediately went out to greet Queen Xie.
When Concubine Rong saw Empress Xie, she did not salute and said coldly: "I wonder what the empress did she receive from the emperor?"
When Queen Xie saw Concubine Rong, she looked very stern.
"Concubine Rong, pay attention to your attitude."
Concubine Rong was not afraid of thanking the queen, and said in a bad tone: "Queen, if you don't follow the emperor's instructions, I will go to the emperor myself."
Empress Xie suppressed her anger and said: "The emperor has been married for two years and there is still no heir. The emperor and I are very worried."
When Concubine Rong heard this, her face immediately darkened.
"The fact that the king has no heirs is all due to the negligence of my aunt, my aunt, and I specifically apologize to the emperor." Queen Xie's tone was full of self-blame, "Although the emperor did not blame me, I did neglect this matter. I I remember that when I first entered the palace, my mother specially requested a Guanyin statue for me..."
Before she finished speaking, she was coldly interrupted by Concubine Rong.
"unnecessary."
"This Avalokitesvara is very effective in giving birth to children. I soon became pregnant with the seventh prince..."
Concubine Rong interrupted Queen Xie again: "No need."
After being interrupted twice, Empress Xie did not get angry, and still smiled and said: "Concubine Rong, the emperor asked me to give this Guanyin to give birth to children to the king and the queen. Are you sure you don't need it?"
"Queen, is this what you mean?" Concubine Rong said coldly, "My cousin wouldn't do that."
The title "cousin" sounded a little harsh to Queen Xie.
"The Emperor agreed. By the way, I have also sent imperial doctors to the Dai Wang's Mansion, asking them to take a good look at the pulses of the Dai Wang and Dai Wang Concubine. If there is a problem with the Dai Wang and Dai Wang Concubine, there is still time to treat and nurse them back to health."
"you……"
As soon as Concubine Rong opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Empress Xie: "Concubine Rong, I am conveying the emperor's oral instructions, how unbecoming of you to interrupt repeatedly!" She lectured with a straight face, "Do you still have the emperor in your eyes? "
"Stop holding me down with my cousin." Concubine Rong glared at Queen Xie without fear.
"Like mother, like son. You are arrogant and domineering, and you have taught the king a bad lesson, which is why he was rude to the imperial censor." Empress Xie said sarcastically with a cold face, "Concubine Rong, now you are even with the emperor. Even if you don’t take it seriously, do you and King Dai want to rebel?”
"Queen, don't be a mouthful." Concubine Rong suddenly laughed, smiling very proudly, "My cousin will never blame me."
Queen Xie knew that Concubine Rong was telling the truth. Emperor Wu of Zhou always loved Concubine Rong and was very tolerant of her.
