Seeing the happy scene of the family of three, Empress Zhu couldn't help but feel sad again.
Once upon a time, when her eldest prince and second prince were still alive, she had such a sweet time with the emperor.
Her eyes were moist and she looked envious.
Jiang Xinyue glanced at her and said proactively: "Queen, please hug Xiaotuanzi too! You are his aunt!"
Empress Zhu is the main palace official. In popular terms, the sixth prince would call her mother, while Jiang Xinyue could only be called aunt.
"Me... this palace?"
Empress Zhu did not expect that Jiang Xinyue would take the initiative to bring it up: "Can I hug you?"
"sure."
Jiang Xinyue sat up, pushed the emperor, and looked at him to give the queen a hug.
Emperor Xuanwu, who was not yet satisfied with the hug, reluctantly handed the dumpling over: "Queen, be careful."
Empress Zhu had just raised a fifth prince, and her physical memory was still there, so she was much more skilled at holding him than the emperor.
The Sixth Prince closed his eyes tightly, but he could still see the beautiful curves of his big eyes from his two big eyelids.
He slept soundly, with little bubbles coming out of his mouth.
Empress Zhu popped his little bubble with her finger, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously: "He looks so cute."
It's not like the emperor's cold face at all. She looks very well-behaved, but she looks a lot like a concubine.
"Your Majesty...the Queen...I am wrong..."
"Ms. Liang Fei, you can't go in. Concubine Zhen has just given birth to a child. If you are wet with moisture, if you hit the Sixth Prince..."
"I won't go in."
Liang Fei knelt in the yard outside the delivery room in a daze: "I am waiting here for the Emperor and the Queen."
The pouring rain instantly turned Liang Fei into a pale female water ghost.
When the noise came in, Emperor Xuanwu remembered that there was still a good concubine that he had not dealt with.
"Mother Li, take the Sixth Prince down to breastfeed him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanny Li came forward to pick up the Sixth Prince and took the nanny to the back hall.
"Yue'er, you have a good rest. I will see you again after I deal with the good concubine."
Jiang Xinyue rested her hands on the bed, her long black hair resting on her shoulders, and her thin clothes slipped off her shoulders, revealing her delicate white shoulders.
Her beautiful eyes were lowered: "The good concubine...she...probably didn't mean it. I was also at fault at that time. Those eunuchs bullied Xiao Man, saying that she was a good concubine..."
The beautiful girl... no... although her appearance is still youthful and beautiful, she has given birth to a child and can be called a beautiful woman.
Jiang Xinyue bit her lips lightly: "I am too impulsive. I should not lead people to destroy Shun'an Palace."
These words made Emperor Xuanwu even more dissatisfied with Concubine Liang: "Don't worry about this matter, Yue'er. I've had enough of Concubine Liang's temper. Although she always made quarrels in the past, she never used it against her children. What kind of methods? I didn’t expect that it has become more and more excessive recently. If I don’t teach her a lesson this time, she will become ignorant of the world.”
Empress Zhu was worried about Liang Fei, so she forced a smile at Jiang Xinyue, and quickly followed the emperor out to see the situation.
Liang Fei shivered in the heavy rain, her eyes were so wet that she couldn't open her eyes, but she didn't dare to complain at all.
"Let her in."
The rain outside was so heavy that he couldn't even hear him shouting at the top of his lungs. Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. After a brief glance, he returned to the lobby of the delivery room.
The weather in April has become somewhat warmer, but Liang Fei is still shivering from the cold.
She did something wrong and pushed down Concubine Zhen, which caused her to give birth early and almost killed two people. The palace people in Hexi Palace hated her, and no one would give her anything to dry the rain on her body. No one would give her clean clothes to change.
So she could only kneel in the hall in embarrassment.
Empress Zhu was afraid that the emperor would not even listen to the explanation, so she directly condemned Concubine Liang. Before the emperor could speak, she asked: "Concubine Liang, why did you push down Concubine Zhen?"
With the support of Magpie and Shuangjiang, Jiang Xinyue walked behind the screen outside the delivery room and eavesdropped on Liang Fei's answer.
Speaking of this, Liang Fei's face was still a little aggrieved: "Back to the Emperor, Queen Mother, it is certainly wrong for me to push down Concubine Zhen, but it was Concubine Zhen who made the rude remarks first. She actually proposed to the Emperor that the eldest princess should be married off to the Fusang Kingdom. The prince who died of the princess and was old enough to be the father of the eldest princess became her step-brother, so my concubine was so indignant that... she accidentally pushed her down."
Behind the screen, Concubine Zhen raised her lips: "Idiot."
"That's nonsense!"
Emperor Xuanwu laughed angrily at Concubine Liang's nonsense "framed": "Concubine Zhen was speaking for you just now. You really don't deserve her to be so tolerant and kind to you. It's time now." , what you want to do is not to apologize to her, but to frame her."
"I don't have it!"
Liang Fei hurriedly argued: "If the Emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask Concubine Zhen to come out and confront you. If I tell a lie, then..."
"The good concubine has really taken great pains to prevent my concubine from getting sick."
Jiang Xinyue was dressed in white clothes and walked out weakly from Fufeng. She held Magpie's hand and looked shocked: "Even if I die here today, I still have to explain it to the good concubine. I don't know Prince Fufeng at all." , and he never said that he would marry the eldest princess to a Fuso man."
"You...you...it was obviously you who said..."
"enough!"
The emperor interrupted her: "Prince Fusang was seventeen years old and had never married. Why did the princess want to marry her stepmother after her death? I don't know where you heard that Prince Fusang asked me to marry the princess, but I tell you, It was Concubine Zhen who said that the small country of Fusang was not worthy of the princess of Dayan, so I rejected Fusang’s request for a marriage. You said that Concubine Zhen wanted the eldest princess to marry far away from Fusang. How is this possible? "
Fusang has always been a vassal state of Dayan. It has been surrendered to Dayan for hundreds of years. It is understandable that it wants to marry a princess of Dayan to make the relationship between the two countries closer.
After hearing the news, many ministers in the DPRK agreed that the eldest princess should go and get married, so as to achieve good relations between the two countries.
Only Jiang Aiqing objected and said to him privately: "Your Majesty, he is not of my race, his heart must be different. The two countries are good. If you have the intention, you don't have to marry the princess far away. If you don't have the intention, even if the princess marries, it will still be a sacrifice of an innocent person." A woman, do we, Dayan, have to rely on the marriage of princesses to maintain the relationship with the vassal country?"
What Jiang Yankun meant was that if the Fusang Kingdom's request for a marriage was agreed to this time, then the Koryo Kingdom would also request the same thing, the Niluo Kingdom would also ask for the same thing, and all the dependent countries would ask for it. How many princesses in the Yan Kingdom would be able to make a marriage proposal?
How come the country of Yan is a vassal country and needs to send a princess in exchange for peace?
Emperor Xuanwu just mentioned it to Jiang Xinyue, but he didn't expect that she was also firmly opposed to sending the princess for marriage. She was very disdainful of Fusang Kingdom and said similar things to Jiang Aiqing.
People who are not of my race must have different minds. The princess has been trying to overcome the tribulation. If she failed to survive, she lost her life in vain. Wouldn’t it be harming the princess?
Would such a person be like Concubine Liang said?
impossible!
