Chapter 417
and raised the sons of other women under his knees. This is not right.
Emperor Jian'an raised his eyebrows, looking at the woman sitting next to him, he only felt it was funny. Withdrawing the arm that was casually resting on the kang table, he was about to get up, but Helian Minmin, who had seen his intention, suddenly knelt down in front of him.
"Empress, what is the purpose of this move?" This woman has put in a lot of effort today.
Clenching his hands into fists, he knelt on the fur cushion covered with Wu Zhaoda's tribute, and even for a moment, he couldn't feel the coolness of the bluestone and jade floor. There is only one heart, but it is falling down, like a bottomless pit, about to be swallowed by the despair around.
She put so much effort into getting rid of the poison of Niu Qi, but her obsession had already been deeply buried in her bones, and she couldn't get rid of it.
"Your Majesty, concubines should be elected to the palace at the age of sixteen. I left a plaque for the empress dowager's attention, pointing out that I have become the concubine of the prince's mansion. Now six years have passed, and concubines are no longer what they used to be. The arrogance of a daughter of a family It's exhausted, the best years are gone, if I don't get your care for six years, I'm afraid I will be even more powerless after that. I also asked myself why I can't do what you want, after much deliberation, "He Lianmin Min's shoulders trembled a little, "It's no wonder the others, I just think it's a concubine with poor fortune, and I don't have this fate."
Zong Zhenglin folded his arms and leaned back on the Grand Master's chair. He looked down, but saw that the woman had applied a thin layer of makeup, only to realize that it seemed that he hadn't looked carefully at his original wife who came in for a long time.
The man's eyes were fixed, and he tried to recall in his mind, but no matter what, he couldn't remember what she looked like when she entered the door. On the night of wedding candles in the bridal chamber, the wedding room was full of goblins snatched from Danruo Garden, lingering around him, unwilling to stretch out their claws to scratch him. At that time, she was still pregnant, and her body trembled violently when touched, twisting him tight and shrinking...
The queen empress could never have imagined that she was trying to impress Emperor Jian'an's cold and hard-hearted heart, but accidentally aroused the man's affection for the bewitching girl in Yuxiu Palace.
"Six years." Zong Zhenglin murmured in a low voice, thoughtful. The worry-free Jiao Niu Zhanghe entered the mansion in the 11th year of the draft, and now it is the second year of Yongqing, so it has been eight years. It took eight years to have two sons, and although she is still pregnant with one, the interval is still a bit longer.
After this baby is over, it doesn't hurt to try harder.
"In the past six years, the emperor has been very tolerant towards his concubines. The concubines know that they have done something wrong, and they feel guilty. If it weren't for your benevolence, and you still think about the relationship between husband and wife, the concubines have already been harmed by others. How can they be like this now? Decent occupies the seat of the harem."
It's a pity that the woman doesn't grow up, otherwise he can hand over the harem to her to take care of, so he can rest assured. In the emperor's ear was the empress' empress's heartfelt gratitude, but Helian had no way of knowing what she was thinking.
Slightly raising her head, seeing the emperor's deep eyes seemed to be considering, and he didn't provoke his impatience, annoyance, the empress was secretly relieved, it was much better to listen to her than to walk away.
"The concubines are mediocre, and they already feel powerless to take care of the affairs of the six palaces. Your Majesty, the concubines have no other expectations in the future. They only hope to give birth to a son for you, and to do their best as a wife. Not to mention living up to the Queen Mother's long-standing expectations."
Her father once reminded her that a noble concubine must have something unique to win the emperor's fancy. If she can learn three points of the essence, there must be a place for her, Helian Minmin, in the harem.
He had no choice but to let her inquire repeatedly. Apart from being arrogant and domineering, that woman didn't know the rules. She was able to please Zong Zhenglin, but her words and deeds were vulgar and straightforward.
In today's situation, the queen can only tentatively choose her not to talk around the corner and imitate it a little. This time he dared to say that he wanted a son, but he didn't know if he could accept it.
This is different from the previous ancestors' rules on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. If the emperor agrees, he will definitely come and settle in her palace from time to time until there is a son in the middle palace.
"My son." Zong Zhenglin whispered slowly.
"Yes. The ancestors once warned the courtiers and concubines that the matter of the son must not be neglected, and it is closely related to the major events of the previous court." Zhong Gong has nothing to do for a long time, and the ministers of the previous court must have their own ghosts. The emperor should know more about it than she does.
Kneeling was a little numb, Helian Minmin didn't dare to move a little, for fear that the slightest mistake would offend him.
Zong Zhenglin's downcast eyes stared at Helian's half-raised face.
This woman is actually Xiao Xiang's legitimate son. very good!
"The queen said just now that she is not strong enough. If you get a son-in-law, wouldn't the burden be even heavier." He leaned forward slowly, and when he got closer, the woman's body was filled with a clear and intoxicating fragrance, and Zong Zhenglin frowned unconsciously .
The little girl occasionally uses incense, and she has also smoked aloes, but it is not as good as this kind of fragrance floating on the surface and losing its rhyme.
A shadow suddenly cast over his head, unexpectedly he would take the initiative to approach, Helian Minmin tensed and straightened his back. Just now when I raised my eyes, I saw the emperor frowned, the empress was startled, and thinking back to what he said just now, could it be...
Gritting his teeth, the power in front of him is to give away a little bit. If he can exchange for heirs, it will be worth a thousand times.
"Grand Concubine Xi is also a smart person. When I was still in the mansion, I heard the chief steward mention that before and after the concubine entered the mansion, the concubine took care of the household affairs, and everything was done in an orderly manner. The concubine thought, if she is really pregnant, Forget it, but it's a big deal, maybe I have to trouble my sister to take care of it."
When he was in front of him, he divided the benefits, so he naturally had to support that bitch. Such a reply should always cater to his preferences.
Zong Zhenglin looked at her deeply for a long time, and when he looked closely, there were fine lines at the corners of this woman's eyes. Although the eye sockets were covered with powder and powder, you could still see the traces of blue shadows.
All the people in the harem heard from hearsay, they only thought that he didn't like women wearing heavy make-up, and they all tidied up in a gentle and elegant way, even when dressing up. But he didn't know that he just wanted the little goblin to be clean, and he could catch someone to get close to him at any time.
When that woman acted mischievously, he knocked her down a few times, she was amazed, but she didn't want others to see her coquettish appearance. She was simply not allowed to add more makeup.
Now that he can't look at Helian's who is one year older than Mu Xiyao, Emperor Jian'an only feels that this woman is too thoughtful, naturally she is no less heartless than that one, she looks like a young girl in her teens, she is charming and charming.
It is not entirely unreasonable to be born from the heart.
"The queen's body is not suitable for pregnancy. Yugu took the pulse last time, you should understand." Fu Er sat up and stared at her, his eyes were deep and unreadable.
Afraid that he would use this as an excuse, Helian Minmin was already prepared. "The concubine can trust Yugu. It's just that in the past few years, the concubine has asked her family to conceal her identity, searched for famous doctors, and asked for medicine. I got a single prescription from a wandering Taoist priest. I took a few doses of the medicine and the poison was gone. Although it can't be completely eliminated, it won't hinder conception, and it won't do any harm to children. It's just that it takes a lot of hard work during childbirth, but the concubines enjoy it."
Wandering Taoist... Emperor Jian'an paused for a moment while stroking his fingers. The hatred in the eyes is deeply hidden.
"I will keep the queen's words in mind today. It's late, and I have other important matters to deal with. I will order Tian Fushan to give you an answer to your request tomorrow morning."
Helian Minmin had mixed feelings. How could she not be disappointed if he didn't get his consent right now. Fortunately, Zong Zhenglin didn't say no, she figured that even if the man was moved, she should go to Yuxiu Palace to appease him. After all, Mrs. Mu is the woman on his heart, and she still has a body. If, uncharacteristically, she often stays in Kunning Palace, that bitch will inevitably lose his temper and hurt the dragon's heir in his belly.
"So, my concubine, I would like to thank the emperor for his sympathy." Holding herself up, she didn't even bother to tidy up the phoenix robe, and personally sent Emperor Jian'an out of the palace gate, watching him drive away, Helian finally let go .
"Gu Changde."
In the dragon chariot, Zong Zhenglin's mouth slowly showed a hint of sarcasm.
"Order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to order the six ministers to go to Kunning Palace tomorrow afternoon to find the queen to take over the affairs of the harem. If you have any doubts, you can go to Feng'an Palace and ask the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace for instructions."
Talents and virtues are mediocre... Except for Yuxiu Palace, who is extremely cunning and habitually lazy, in the harem, there are many people who can share the empress' worries.
No matter how hard the empress could have guessed, the matter of her begging has not yet been settled. The emperor here has deeply sympathized with her difficulties, and took advantage of the situation to seize her power over the palace.
