There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 47. The fifth dragon scale (five)
The fifth dragon scale (five)
Concubine Shu found that her life suddenly became difficult. Although it is said that it is early spring, the spring is cold and she is used to being afraid of the cold, so the earth dragon is still burning in the house, and the charcoal is made of high-quality silver wire. carbon. There is no peculiar smell when the charcoal is burned, and there is no smoke. The practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated to each palace is the same, but Concubine Shu always asks for more.
But the silver wire charcoal was burnt out in a few days, so she asked the maid to ask for it, but what she sent was ordinary charcoal! Not to mention the smoke lingers when it burns, there is also a strange smell that makes people suffocate! Where did Concubine Shu suffer from this grievance? The first year she was confined, she had a good life. She was going to find someone to explain, but she was stopped by Madam Liu.
Mother Liu sighed: "Mother is confused, you still can't see, if this is not the acquiescence of Your Majesty, would they dare to treat you like this?"
Concubine Shu was so angry that she burst into tears: "Back then, when Ben Gong was favored, they all came over like flies that saw honey to be of help to the Palace, and now Ben Gong is just being favored by His Majesty. After being grounded, they all changed their faces, and when this palace is free, I will never let them go!"
"Niangniang!" As soon as Madam Liu spoke hard, her body hurt. This is the after-effect of that stick. After all, she is old, and her foundation is not good. It will not improve after a year of care, but it is just support. With a sigh of relief, Concubine Shu can't be relieved. "Why are you still so childish? The servant asked you to admit your mistake to His Majesty and treat Princess Baohua well. Can you do it?"
She didn't ask Concubine Shu to ask the princess to come back to raise her, because anyone with eyes could see how much His Majesty loves and values Princess Baohua, not to mention that Princess Baohua is now recorded under the name of Queen Xiaoren, it stands to reason It has nothing to do with Concubine Shu. Not having a daughter is actually not scary. What is scary is that if you lose the emperor's favor, you won't have the chance to have another prince in the future!
How could Liu mama know that when Concubine Shu saw His Majesty's face, she opened her mouth and wanted to bring her daughter back to raise—because she felt that this would impress His Majesty more, and let His Majesty feel her motherly love.
If Madam Liu knew about it, I'm afraid it would be another mouthful of old blood.
Charcoal is only the first step. Next, what is the Weixi Palace asking for? Who is it? The dignified Concubine Shu has lived a miserable life, but she has nowhere to tell—she can't even get out of the Weixi Palace's door!
Actually, her life is more enjoyable than ordinary people, but it is not enough for Concubine Shu. She is extravagant and greedy for enjoyment, which is a bit like Linglong.
Eunuch Guanying listened to the little eunuch's reply, and thought to himself, just change the charcoal and you will be cold, and you will not be able to live. The little princess was born only a few months ago. You broke the charcoal basin and wore so little. What does it mean again? The little princess Jinzhiyuyefu can hold on to her life, but why can't you, a concubine from a poor and humble background, hold on?
In order to prevent the rise of foreign relatives in the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of the selections in the harem targeted folk women, that is, the first empress was the daughter of Emperor Yongwen's Taifu, and the others were no more than four-rank officials. This concubine Shu is the daughter of a gentleman in a private school. Because of her beauty since childhood, she was elected to the general election as soon as she was in the palace. After entering the palace, she won the love of Emperor Yongwen with her fairy-like appearance, but she was an embroidered pillow. He was also quite greedy, and after being spoiled by Emperor Yongwen for a few years, it was tasteless.
Mother Liu is a smart one. It is said that she used to be the nanny of a big family. Later, she was sold because of a mistake. She happened to ask Concubine Shu's father to buy it back to take care of his wife and children. Concubine Shu was brought up by her, so she was very caring. Fortunately, with her advice, Concubine Shu was able to get the favor of those years and be promoted to one of the four concubines.
Is Emperor Yongwen really deceived?
How is that possible.
He prefers straw-baled beauties. There is no ink in his stomach, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns. Concubine Shu happens to be like this. In addition, her appearance is really his favorite, so she is willing to give favor. Unfortunately, the rebellious words that Concubine Shu said during childbirth made Emperor Yongwen very angry, which made him reflect on whether he had given too much, and let her Getting greedy.
So even if Concubine Shu lifted her foot ban and regained her freedom, she still did not regain her favor. Every two years, new people are admitted in the palace. There are many people who are more beautiful than her, who are more temperamental than her, and who are more talented than her. She really can't be regarded as one of the best.
In the past two years, Emperor Yongwen favored a concubine from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She gave birth to a concubine from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She was born soft, weak and graceful, with a pair of eyes that looked like tears but not tears. She was named a concubine just two years after entering the palace. The word "cherish" was also given, and this cherished concubine was also very good. The news came out early, but it made Emperor Yongwen happy. There is no man who doesn't like having many children, especially the emperor.
Linglong is three years old. She can walk and talk, but she is still carried by Emperor Yongwen. In the past two years, several younger brothers and sisters were born in the palace, but Linglong is not a threat to her status at all. It's not just anyone who can have the luck to be raised by Emperor Yongwen himself, but this concubine has a bit of meaning. She is always respectful to Emperor Yongwen and Linglong. Emperor Yongwen loves Linglong and likes it too. Others love Linglong, and he can always get a few words of appreciation for Linglong's good concubine. For a time, Linglong has become the unparalleled figure in the harem.
On Linglong's third birthday, Xibi started. Emperor Yongwen was accustomed to concubines giving birth, and after a few words of warning, he continued to talk to his courtiers and concubines. From this, it was obvious that His Majesty was only the same with his concubines. Otherwise, why would he not even take a look at it?
Actually, the maids in the palace are experienced in delivering births, and there is an imperial physician. Whether the concubine has a child or a daughter, for Emperor Yongwen, it means that there is an extra child. Most of his princes went out of the palace to open the mansion, and the princesses also married a few, and a few were too young, not to mention that tonight was his Long'er's birthday.
When Guanying came to report that Empress Xi had given birth to a princess, and both mother and daughter were safe, Emperor Yongwen nodded, raised his glass, and never mentioned it - celebrating a concubine's daughter on Long'er's birthday , I'm afraid it's going to make people look down on Qing Long'er.
Linglong is still sitting on Emperor Yongwen's lap. She may be the only guy other than Emperor Yongwen who dares to shake his dragon chair. Emperor Yongwen noticed that his daughter was a little unhappy, so he lowered his head and asked softly, "What happened to our Longer? Today, Aye also let someone prepare fireworks for Longer, do you want Longer to watch?"
Linglong raised her moist eyes sentimentally, whimpered, grabbed Emperor Yongwen's dragon robe and buried his head in his arms, his small body shaking. Emperor Yongwen hurriedly held her and coaxed her. After a while, he heard her anxious voice: "Ah 7776... Do you still love Long'er after you have a younger sister?"
Emperor Yongwen immediately turned cold and looked at Guanying. Guanying was so frightened that she fell to her knees: "This servant is negligent! The servant is negligent! Let people chew their tongues in front of the little princess, and ask Your Majesty to punish them!"
Linglong rubbed her eyes: "Aye is going to get mad at Grandpa Guanying again."
Emperor Yongwen almost didn't come up in one breath, this little **** knew that he was angry with him. He called him Aye, but Guanying called him Grandpa, so what did he have to do with Guanyingcheng? Simply funny! I've corrected it several times, but it still doesn't work!
Although the little princess called her grandfather so happy, Guanying didn't dare to respond! He hurriedly knocked his head lower, but his eyes were extremely cold. Who said such a thing in front of the little princess? Otherwise, there were also princesses born in the former palace. Why didn't you hear the little princess ask this? His Majesty attaches great importance to maintaining the innocence and purity of the little princess. If there is no instigation, it is absolutely impossible to think of it by yourself.
Although the little **** is irritating, he is pitiful in the end. How could Emperor Yongwen be willing to get angry at her, and coaxedly said: "Aye loves Long'er the most, and doesn't love other sisters and sisters."
Linglong then became happy. Emperor Yongwen saw her little face with a smile and made fun of her: "Crying and laughing, shy face." He lamented that his dragon was really coaxing!
Until the banquet was over, he coaxed Linglong to sleep, and then went to Xibi's Chengying Palace to see the situation. Xibi had already woken up, cleaned her body, and the room was ventilated, but there was no **** smell when she gave birth. Seeing Emperor Yongwen coming, he still struggled to salute, but was supported by Emperor Yongwen: "I don't need to do more salute, Concubine Ai, is my body better?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, it is a blessing from a previous life that a concubine can give birth to a princess for His Majesty. How can you say that you are in good health?"
Emperor Yongwen smiled.
To learn that she gave birth to a daughter, Xi Concubine was actually a little disappointed. In this palace, if you want to rely on, it is better to have a son. The princess always wants to get married in the future, what's the use? It's just a daughter, cherishing concubine can be considered to be full of thoughts. Seeing that His Majesty loves Princess Baohua like that on weekdays, and even calls her baby name affectionately, she also cares a bit in her heart. If it is said that His Majesty can also love her daughter so much. , hold him by his side to raise...
This is purely cherishing the concubine's own will|prostitution. Emperor Yongwen was dealing with all kinds of opportunities, and he was so busy every day that he had already spent most of his energy and effort in raising Linglong, so how could he raise another one. What's more, Linglong is smart and cute, can other children compare? Xi Concubine's appearance is average, and unless the daughter is born with a genetic mutation, at most it can be regarded as a middle-aged person.
She was anxious to have the wet nurse carry the princess over to show His Majesty, hoping to win His Majesty's pity, after all, more contact can cultivate feelings. However, how ugly a newborn child is... Everyone knows it well. Emperor Yongwen looked at the wrinkled and red baby. Although he liked it in his heart, it was no different from his feelings for other children.
Xi Concubine carefully observed Emperor Yongwen's expression. Seeing that he only hugged him twice and handed it over to the wet nurse, she felt a little uncomfortable. She is also a daughter, why is Your Majesty so partial? Princess Baohua is so doted on her body, but her daughter doesn't seem to be even half of Princess Baohua's.
But in this world, whose heart is not partial?
Not to mention the emperor who reigns over the world.
It would be ridiculous to ask him to be fair.
