At this point, He Yao looked at He Yao who was obviously lacking in energy after being pregnant. After saying these words to herself, He Yao was already showing signs of fatigue. Huang Qiong kissed her face lovingly, then took off He Yao's coat with her own hands and said, "If you are tired, you should die earlier. I won't go to anyone today, I will stay here with you." and children.”
Hearing that Huang Qiong wanted to stay with him here, although he was quite touched, he also hoped that Huang Qiong would spend more time with him. But He Yao also knew that she could not be arrogant due to favor. Huang Qiong is not her own husband, there are so many sisters in the house. Now that he is the wife of the housekeeper, what he should do most is to let Huang Qiong get the rain and dew equally.
Especially now that she is pregnant and is not suitable for sleeping with her, she cannot monopolize Huang Qiong. So He Yao still said resolutely: "Master, your heart is enough. I am satisfied that you can do this. But you are not my husband alone. There are so many people in the house." Sister, I can’t be so selfish.”
"You want to be a good king, and I also want to be a good wife. What's more, you have been away for several months and now you have finally come back. The original sisters in the house should also comfort you. Don't worry about me. Come on, go and accompany them." After saying that, He Yao pushed Huang Qiong's body out of the bed to show that what she said was true.
No matter what he said when he saw He Yao, he insisted on his own ideas. Fearing that she would be too stubborn and cause fetal distress, Huang Qiong had no choice but to agree to her and leave after she fell asleep. Huang Qiong took a step back, and He Yao didn't insist on her own ideas too much. After He Yao, who couldn't bear the exhaustion, fell asleep, Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment and finally obeyed her wishes.
It's not that Huang Qiong doesn't want to accompany He Yao, but He Yao's insistence on being a good wife makes him feel helpless sometimes. And He Yao is pregnant again now, and Huang Qiong doesn't want her to have too much pressure. So after carefully instructing the two maids called by Mrs. Liu and taking good care of her, I finally chose to obey her wishes.
At this time, according to the rules set by He Yao on taking turns to attend the bed, Tingting and Tingting were already waiting in his bedroom. Seeing Huang Qiong back, the two girls breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to undress Huang Qiong. Perhaps it was Huang Qiong's words at the dinner table that relieved the two girls of their worries. Maybe it was because Huang Qiong had been apart for several months and had been away for a long time.
So when it comes to sleeping, the two girls work extra hard. Especially Tingting, who was completely at ease, tried her best to please Huang Qiong. The second daughter had been with Huang Qiong for such a long time, and Huang Qiong didn't know the second daughter's real name until tonight. Tingting's own surname was Zhao. Because her father was a musician, she was named Zhao Jinse.
As for the other girl, her real name is much more rustic and she is called Cheng Zhaodi. Looking at the woman who was somewhat ashamed to say her real name, Huang Qiong was in high spirits during happy events, and felt a little comfortable because the two girls were working hard to serve her. He followed the woman's plump yet graceful figure, Changed her name to Cheng Ying.
Although Huang Qiong said it casually, although she was better than Zhao Jinse, who had been married before, she was also born as a dancer. Although she gave her virginity to the master in front of her, her background was too low, and she was even still Cheng Ying had shown her body in front of other men, and she still had a sense of inferiority in her heart, but the feeling in her heart was different.
Being able to receive this gift from her master made her feel unintentionally that she was valued by others, and even felt that her status in her master's heart was different from before. She was named after Huang Qiong, and even worked harder than Zhao Jinse to a certain extent. The three of them kept tossing for a long time before the clouds cleared up and the two girls snuggled tightly beside Huang Qiong and fell asleep.
Seeing the two girls sleeping deeply, Huang Qiong was still lying on the bed without feeling sleepy. Originally, I wanted to explore the King of Shu's courtyard at night to see if I could find any clues, at least to find the two secret passages Yi Ying told me. But unexpectedly, he was disrupted by the good news of He Yao's pregnancy. It's quite late at night now, and if we go now, I'm afraid we won't be able to return at dawn.
If someone discovers that he is not in the palace tomorrow morning, he will not only expose his secret to the emperor, but also threaten his mother's safety. It might even scare the newly pregnant He Yao. If this affects the fetus in He Yao's belly, then he will really lose more than he gains. So as soon as the idea of going to the King of Shu's Courtyard arose, Huang Qiong suppressed it immediately.
What makes Huang Qiong even more worried is whether the emperor will give up the idea of marrying him to the princess of Guilin County. If the emperor persists, what should he do? What Huang Qiong is most worried about now is that the emperor will threaten him with He Yao's daughters and accept the princess. How could Huang Qiong not understand the longing look in He Yao's eyes when she mentioned her child's identity?
The child has no identity, which means that if the child wants to be on the jade plate, he will have to be raised by someone else, especially his aunt. This child may even be adopted to others at will. When He Yao was in Zhengzhou, he had a close relationship with Lin Hanyan. Apart from Duan Jin, she was the only woman around Huang Qiong who Lin Hanyan looked at in a different light.
Apart from Li Xiu, he is also the only person who can serve Huang Qiong on the same bed. This kind of thing is very common in the Tian family, but for He Yao, it is something that will affect the rest of her life. Lin Hanyan will definitely tell He Yao. Huang Qiong didn't blame Lin Hanyan for talking to He Yao about these things. On the contrary, Huang Qiong was still very grateful to Lin Hanyan for remembering and telling He Yao these things in advance.
There is nothing more ruthless than the emperor's family. Fighting within the Tian family, and even within the prince's family, is not as cruel as usual. In the Tian family, not every woman who gives birth to a child for the emperor will be promoted to a concubine. Princes in the past dynasties have had many mothers. Some women who had a close relationship with the emperor for one reason or another, even if they gave birth to children, they would at best be separated from their status as palace maids.
It is no longer rare for a woman to be a talented and noble person throughout her life. Not to mention others, even my own emperor, among all the biological mothers of princes and princesses, there are only six concubines. Except for Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shen, the other four were promoted because of their natal families' great contributions to the emperor or the court.
Even Concubine Shen, if it hadn't been for the manipulation by the King of Shu, it would have been good to be promoted to Jieyu. As for Concubine Zhuang, the mother of King Yong, she was given the title of concubine by the Jin Dynasty because she had been with the emperor as early as when she was staying in the mansion. For the rest, if the son is more successful, the mother may get some glory because of the son, and may be promoted to the positions of Zhaoyi or Zhaorong.
If the son fails to live up to his expectations or dies early, his promotion to Jieyu's position will be the limit. As an emperor, I am very generous to my son, but I am particularly stingy with my concubines. Even though Concubine De is currently in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, she is just an ordinary concubine and has never been given to an imperial concubine.
Therefore, in the palace, you will not be promoted to concubine if you have a son. It also depends on whether you have something for yourself in the emperor's heart. In the Prince's Mansion, the situation is even more serious. Some women are not loved by their husbands, and their remaining sons have grown up. The mother may still have the status of a maid, and may not even have the status of a concubine.
Without status, the son can only be raised by his wife or a concubine designated by the prince. He can only call his biological mother aunt. If the name is wrong, both mother and child will be in trouble. And without identity, even if the biological son has married a wife and has children, the mother may be sold at any time.
In the Xuanzong Dynasty of this dynasty, a huge joke was made. Prince Su, the second son of Emperor Gaozong, happened to be lucky enough to meet a maid next to a princess. Unexpectedly, after the spring breeze, the maid became pregnant and gave birth to the king's eldest son. Prince Su had never looked at this maid seriously, and the reason why he was lucky was just the result of a whim and a grudge against his own princess.
After giving birth to the child, he simply gave the child to a favored but never pregnant concubine to raise. That maid is still the clone of a maid. In the eyes of King Su, she was the princess's person, but as for the princess, she was very dissatisfied with her, a maid who was originally someone close to her, who took advantage of his loopholes and left a son behind.
When the child was five years old, he simply sold the maid to the palace. Originally, the matter ended here. Unexpectedly, the two sons born and raised by Princess Su did not stand still. The sons above him were severely punished by Emperor Xuanzong who succeeded him because they were too noisy. It is because of this or that reason that he cannot inherit the throne.
In the end, the child became the one who had the last laugh. It's just that this old man, after taking over the title of county king descended from King Su. His father had just been buried. Regardless of whether his aunt and adoptive mother were still there, he offered a high reward to find his biological mother, and the whole world was in an uproar. In this era when the direct descendants are born, this behavior of the county prince can be said to be against common ethics in the eyes of some people.
The county prince Quan pretended not to hear other people's criticisms. As for the accusations made by his legitimate mother and adoptive mother, he simply sent the two women, who had been fighting for almost half their lives but had formed a united front on this matter, to the Wangfu Courtyard for supervision. Out of sight, out of mind. . .
However, Huang Tian lived up to his intentions. In the end, the county prince, after searching hard for three years, finally found his biological mother who had been sold. At this time, she was just an ordinary driver's wife. After finding his biological mother, he immediately took her to his residence and served her with the utmost filial piety. Even because his princess, who was born in the same family as Zhizhi, looked down on his biological mother, he got rid of her in anger.
Fortunately, Emperor Xuanzong at that time, perhaps because of his mother's experience, did not pursue his nephew's actions. Even if he didn't acknowledge the woman's identity, and he didn't impose any punishment on the county king, he was acquiescing to the matter. Therefore, even if you give birth to a child in Tianjia, the child may not be yours.
It would only be beneficial for He Yao to know these things earlier. Otherwise, if He Yao is left to explore on her own, she still doesn’t know how much it will cost and what she will accomplish. Huang Qiong knew that although He Yao was older, she was extremely sensitive because of her age. Huang Qiong always felt a vague sense of worry about gain and loss in her heart.
She is the oldest among the girls. Perhaps this is her only child, so she will naturally regard it as a treasure. He Yao wanted to give this child an identity, which Huang Qiong naturally understood. As for Huang Qiong's character, even He Yao would not mention it. Not only the child's identity, but also He Yao's identity will be fought for.
Just as he said, there was nothing he could do in the name of his wife, because that was the bottom line for challenging the emperor. But in the name of a concubine, Huang Qiong would fight for He Yao no matter what before He Yao gave birth. Otherwise, I would be sorry for He Yao's deep love. I have already betrayed a sister Yao, and I must not betray a second one.
