Emperor Daqian had a prince born nine years later, which shocked everyone in the dynasty and harem.
In the Wuning Marquis Mansion, the Crown Prince's wife Luo Ning was uneasy at the moment and was waiting anxiously in their yard for the Crown Prince to return from the Ministry of War.
She paced back and forth in the hall, which attracted the attention of the maid Wen Zhu beside her, and she couldn't help but say something.
"Young lady, what's wrong with you? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
Luo Ning shook his head, waved his hand, and said angrily: "No need, I'm fine, you all can go down."
She waved the maid away, and then she sat on the chair, pondering in her heart.
In his previous life, His Majesty was also forced by the ministers to have an heir. As a result, a maid in the palace revealed that she was pregnant. After the imperial doctor diagnosed her pulse, she was undoubtedly the prince and was promoted to the title of Jade Concubine.
After that, Concubine Yu had difficulty giving birth to the sixth prince and passed away, so she was posthumously named Concubine Yu Yi.
But in just three days, the sixth prince died, and the emperor was deeply saddened.
In anger, he issued a decree to deprive Emperor Yu Yi of her posthumous title, and demoted the deceased second-grade concubine to a third-grade concubine, which shows the strong anger in her heart.
You must know that the first-class imperial concubine is the deputy concubine, not far behind the empress, and can be buried with the emperor's main mausoleum, which is slightly better than the high-ranking concubines.
The third-grade noble concubines were only middle-ranking concubines. Not only did they not have their own palaces, they even had to depend on high-ranking concubines. After their death, they were only buried in the side hall of the concubine's mausoleum. There is a huge difference in status between the two, which shows how angry His Majesty is.
Later, in the 24th year of Yongde's reign, the ministers used the excuse that Your Majesty had no children and once again forced His Majesty to appoint an heir.
His Majesty stayed in a stalemate for half a year, picking and choosing among various clansmen, and finally adopted his distant nephew, Prince Yunjun, as his heir.
And her sister is the concubine that Prince Yun loves.
Prince Yun is the bloodline passed down from Emperor Taizong's third son, Prince Yun, while His Majesty is the direct descendant of Emperor Taizong's direct son, Emperor Gaozong Xuan. After all, the bloodlines between the two are a bit far apart.
However, His Majesty refused to listen and said that if he was not allowed to adopt Prince Yun, he would not succeed.
The clan relatives had no choice but to agree, while the courtiers didn't care who His Majesty appointed as his heir. As long as Da Gan had an heir, they would settle down.
In her previous life, Luo Ning had hastily married into the concubine of her aunt's mother's family, and her life was not good.
And her biological sister from the same mother already had her childhood sweetheart Tanhua Lang as her son-in-law, but because of her sister's jealousy.
At a flower party, she was plotted against her and she became Prince Yun's concubine. She was always depressed.
Although my brother-in-law, Prince Yun, is a distant relative of His Majesty, he still has a title. At first, he showed pity and love for his sister. Even though the princess was targeting her, he still protected her a lot.
But since he was appointed as his heir by His Majesty and moved into the palace, he not only had to face difficulties from the palace, but also faced criticism from the officials. His whole body became gloomy, and naturally he couldn't care about his sister.
Because he lived in the palace for sixteen years, during this period he and the princess were dependent on each other and developed an extraordinary relationship.
When he ascended the throne, he named the princess as the queen, the eldest prince she gave birth to as the prince, the third prince and the fourth prince as princes, and his legitimate daughter as the eldest princess. It can be said that the lineage of the princess has taken advantage of everything.
As for the elder sister, she was obviously favored by her brother-in-law at the beginning, but because she only cared about herself in the palace, she was abandoned by His Majesty.
Even the maidservant who served her brother-in-law once when she was in the dormitory was finally a seventh-grade Baolin. Sister Qian, a serious concubine and an old man in the dormitory, only got the promised position of the eighth-grade.
It is only one step higher than the lowest dressing position in the harem, which obviously offended His Majesty.
The queen's natal family was in decline, and the only time she entered the palace was when her sister was seriously ill. The queen showed mercy and announced that she would see her sister one last time.
Her sister told her all this and said that she had regretted it for a long time, but it was a pity that His Majesty would never see her again. If there was an afterlife, she would definitely live up to the Emperor's kindness.
Who would have thought that she would have a chance to do it again.
In this life, she told her sister about this in the form of a dream. I was just afraid that my sister would be tricked when she was young and got along with her brother-in-law, so I hid the fact that my brother-in-law was adopted by His Majesty. She told her sister that her natal family was in decline and her sister died of illness in the palace instead of dying of illness in the palace.
Later, the two sisters learned about their sister's plan and used it to make their sister the concubine of Prince Yunjun again.
Later, with the help of her sister, she tricked her eldest sister into marrying her husband in her previous life, who was also the bastard son of her aunt's mother's family and her eldest cousin's concubine.
She also got in touch with the prince of Wuninghou Mansion and became the prince's wife.
Immediately afterwards, she borrowed the power of Wuninghou Mansion to help her sister become the concubine of Yunjun Prince Mansion.
The two sisters joined forces, and one of them dominated Yunjun Prince's Mansion, and even the princess of the county had to shun the concubines. The other of them dominated the Wuning Marquis Mansion, forcing Mrs. Hou in the mansion to look at their daughter-in-law, who was born as a concubine, with admiration. '.
In short, the daughters of Luo Shangshu's family became famous outside the country, and all the daughters of concubines were married off. The legitimate daughter is a little lame, having married the third concubine of a mighty general, but now she is a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Industry, supported by her father-in-law and the general's palace, and has a bright future.
Therefore, the outside world's evaluation of the women in the household minister's family is still quite high.
Luo Ning is very satisfied with her life now, but she wouldn't mind being more satisfied.
If Duke Yun ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, my sister will have no problem becoming a noble concubine due to her two sons and one daughter, as well as her relationship with her brother-in-law during her stay in the residence.
But all this had to start with the early death of His Majesty's sixth son.
However, as a woman in the back house, she really had no way to inquire about all the news in the palace. She could only ask her husband.
Therefore, Luo Ning has been waiting at home for the prince's return.
In the evening, as the sun set over the western mountains, Shen Lianghan, the eldest son of Wuning Houfu, returned in a hurry.
He first went to the main courtyard to visit his father, Marquis Wu Ning, and then went to the courtyard of the old lady and Madam Hou to pay their respects. Finally, he returned to the Xunfeng courtyard where he and his wife, the Crown Prince, lived.
"Your Majesty, please freshen up first. Dinner will be here soon." Luo Ning said warmly.
"That's fine."
Immediately afterwards, the prince went to the bathroom to freshen up briefly, and then sat in the hall to eat.
The family in Wuninghou Mansion was very strict, and the couple rarely spoke during meals. But the couple didn't have any concubines, so they complemented each other well.
After the meal, Mrs. Shizi inquired without leaving any trace.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Jade Concubine gave birth to a son today. Is this true?"
The prince sat on the chair and fell asleep. After hearing what she said, he immediately opened his eyes, his eyes were like a torch, and he said.
"How did you find out about this?"
Prince Wu Ninghou was a rough man on the outside but meticulous on the inside.
In his previous life, his wife died early in childbirth, and the son she gave birth to was not over full moon. She later followed Wu Ninghou to the border to fight, and died early, leaving only the concubine of the Hou family to inherit the title.
Therefore, Luo Ning did not feel guilty for taking the position of the crown prince's wife from the Wang family's daughter in her previous life, and felt that she had saved her life. However, after getting married, she realized how difficult it was to be the wife of this prince.
Her husband was very attentive and would be suspicious of her if something was wrong. That is to say, seeing that she had given birth to two eldest sons, Shen Yu, in recent years, he felt more at ease with her.
But she had been stupid again just now. Before the emperor could grant a pardon to the whole world, she had spoken out the news that the emperor had given birth to a prince, which aroused the prince's suspicion.
After much thought, Luo Ning had no choice but to let her sister take the blame for her first.
"It's the news from my sister from Prince Yun's Mansion."
The eldest son Shen Lianghan pondered for a moment, thinking in his mind that the concubine's sister in his wife's family had received news that His Majesty had a son. This news was not far behind the news he had received.
He was the minister of the Ministry of War. He heard the news of the prince's birth from Lord Shangshu.
But the Yunjun Prince's Mansion quickly learned that His Majesty had a son. Could it be that they also had expectations for His Majesty's adoption of an heir?
"Yes, the Jade Concubine in the harem gave birth to the sixth prince for Your Majesty. Several prime ministers in the cabinet received your Majesty's decree to posthumously confer the Jade Concubine as the Noble Concubine of the Yuyi Emperor because of the merits of the Jade Concubine in giving birth to the six princes. I am also following the instructions from Cheng. The minister knows about it."
Cheng Shangshu was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he and Wang Zaifu were relatives, so he learned about the news that Concubine Yu had given birth to a son, and by chance, he was heard by the eldest son Shen Lianghan.
That's why he was curious about his wife's source.
Luo Ning, the Crown Prince's wife, was extremely upset. She had lived a good life for too long and her brain was no longer useful.
In the previous life, His Majesty gave birth to a prince and did not offer a general amnesty to the whole world. Instead, he gave a general amnesty to the whole world one day later in order to pray for the little prince. Unexpectedly, the little prince died early on the third day.
But the imperial edict has been issued, and the Amnesty for the World can only continue to be implemented.
Luo Ning only remembered that the emperor was happy when the prince was born and granted amnesty to the world, but he forgot that it was the second day after the prince was born that the emperor issued the edict.
Today's events have tightened her strings again, making her afraid to continue to rely on uncertain memories of her past life.
The Crown Prince's wife, Luo Ning, didn't want the atmosphere to be too awkward, so she said dryly.
"That's great. Your Majesty's childlessness has long become a concern for the court and the people."
Shen Lianghan was sorting out the military documents. After a pause, he naturally heard the insincerity of his wife's words and said with subtle eyes.
"Your Majesty has a son, and I'm afraid he won't have any further heirs in the future."
Luo Ning subconsciously said: "That's not necessarily the case. After all, even if you have a child, you will die young."
Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed that her husband narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her with a strange look.
The look in his eyes was so sharp that Luo Ning didn't dare to look any further, so she had to avoid his eyes and hurriedly spoke.
"Ms. sir, the purse I embroidered for you is ready. I will go to the embroidery room to get it now."
Immediately afterwards, Luo Ning left in a hurry.
