A few days before the emperor left Beijing, the queen held a banquet in the palace, and all the concubines in the palace arrived.
The queen still had the same kind and gentle attitude.
Even though he and Cen Yunchu had broken up before, he could still talk and laugh with Cen Yunchu calmly in front of the emperor and other concubines.
"Cen Zhaoyi, I think your pregnancy looks like you are probably a prince." The queen smiled and said, "Have you asked the imperial doctor?"
Cen Yunchu also smiled and replied: "When you ask the imperial doctor to diagnose your pulse, you only ask for Ping'an's pulse, and you don't ask about men and women.
Just let nature take its course, everything will be fine. This is not something you can force."
"That's right, as long as you are born safely and smoothly, that's better than anything else.
Besides, you are still young! You can't be the only one left." Uninformed people might have thought that the Queen longed for the prosperity of her royal heirs.
"In my opinion, the child in Cen Zhaoyi's belly is a lucky one." Concubine Gao Hui slowly put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "Tubo took the initiative to request an alliance. Isn't this a great event?
We are about to usher in a peaceful and prosperous age, and this child really rises to the occasion!"
After everyone heard this, although they smiled on their faces, they were thinking about their own things in their hearts.
Gao Yueying was particularly angry. Every time she saw Cen Yunchu's full belly, she wanted to rush up and push her down.
When she was at home, her father had a concubine who was particularly favored. She was dressed up and dressed up every day.
Later, she became pregnant, and she walked around in front of people with her bulging belly all day long. She was clearly showing off!
Once, a foreign official gave his father a coral necklace, which was of excellent quality.
Gao Yueying liked it very much and asked her father for it.
Unexpectedly, her father said that she was still a child and would break it if she didn't know what to do. He would talk about it later.
Then he turned around and gave this thing to the concubine with a big belly.
Gao Yueying was filled with hatred, and one day she took advantage of others and pushed the concubine down from behind.
She watched the other person screaming and rolling down the steps, feeling extremely happy in her heart.
The concubine was thrown and bled profusely. Although she managed to survive, the child in her belly did not survive.
And that concubine was no longer able to have children from then on, because her Qi and blood were damaged, and her whole body was like withered flowers and grass.
Those who serve others with sex will lose their sex and love will be with them.
The concubine fell out of favor and died within a few years.
Gao Yueying was only twelve years old at that time.
But she already understood that women are most vulnerable when they are pregnant.
In her opinion, even if Cen Yun was originally Zhaoyi, she was no different from his father's concubine. They were both serving people with sex.
And she also knew that she was not the only one who wanted to get rid of Cen Yunchu.
Of course Cen Yunchu understood that Concubine Gao Hui was flattering her.
Deliberately saying this in front of everyone is obviously to make the child in your belly hateful.
But she just pretended not to hear it, and said with a chuckle: "I don't agree with what Concubine Hui said. The alliance with Tubo is clearly a sage who has good governance of the country. His fame has accumulated blessings and prestige. What does it have to do with this little kid?
?”
The emperor nodded and said, "Cen Zhaoyi is right. The child hasn't been born yet. What does it have to do with him?"
Concubine Gao Hui could only smile and say: "I have learned a lesson."
The queen looked around and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, let's have a banquet!
As soon as the Holy Emperor leaves the capital, I will lead all the concubines in the harem to respectfully wish that the Emperor's holy majesty will spread far and wide, and that all people will admire him."
The other concubines also raised their wine glasses and congratulated the emperor together.
"Everyone, sit down." The emperor said after finishing the glass of wine, "I will leave the capital and entrust the harem to the queen."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best," the queen agreed.
"I know that you are working hard. There are hundreds of things to do in the harem, and it is a bit too hard to leave them all in your hands." The emperor said, "Let Shui Zhaoyi help you manage the harem for these two months!
With one more person to share the burden with, you will have someone to rely on and consult with."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty," the Queen said, "I was just thinking of asking Your Majesty to give me another helper."
"I am relieved about everything else, except for one thing," the emperor glanced at Cen Yunchu and said, "Cen Zhaoyi is about to give birth, and she is a mother for the first time. I am really worried.
Entrusting her to you, you must take good care of her and make sure that both she and the child are safe.
I will definitely thank you again when I come back."
"The Holy One is out of touch when he says this. Since I am the head of the Sixth Palace, I should take care of and protect the concubines.
What's more, Yunchu is the beloved Zhaoyi of the Holy Emperor, and I will definitely take extra care of her." The queen looked at Cen Yunchu with a smile and said.
"I feel relieved to have the queen." The emperor nodded, "I am too worried. The queen has been in the post for ten years, so she naturally knows how to manage the harem and take care of others."
Cen Yunchu was at the side, but he smiled and said nothing.
She knew that the emperor said this to the queen in front of everyone, ostensibly asking the queen to take more care of herself.
In fact, it was a warning to the queen not to do anything that would harm their mother and son.
Others listening will surely understand the meaning of the emperor's words.
The queen also arranged songs and dances. During the dinner, she asked the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, this trip has been going on for a long time. I would like to have my sister Hui Fei and Yu Cairen accompany me. What do you think your Majesty's intention is?"
The emperor said: "The queen's arrangements are very appropriate, so be it."
The emperor had an alliance with Zanpu of Tubo. Zanpu brought his wife with him, so it would be appropriate for the emperor to bring a concubine with him.
But the queen could not leave the palace, so she could only send a higher-ranking concubine to accompany her.
At the same time, you should bring someone with a lower status to serve you at all times.
Although Concubine Gao Hui didn't want to go, she had no choice but to do so. It was a matter of state and she couldn't refuse.
That Yucai man is the Queen's man.
After the banquet was over, Concubine Gao Hui called her niece to her palace.
"I want to go out of the capital with the emperor, and I have to give you some instructions." Concubine Gao Hui said, "I am not in the palace, so you must stay safe and stay safe and never go into troubled waters.
You also saw and heard at the banquet today that the emperor treated the queen like this, let alone you.
Never provoke Cen Yunchu, otherwise you will only make knives for others, have you remembered that?"
"Auntie, are you so worried about me?" Gao Yueying asked, "If something happens to her, Cen Yunchu, it means her fate is bad. What does it have to do with me?
Besides, there are so many people who want to harm her, and it’s not my turn!”
"You know how to talk back to me all day long." Gao Huifei shook her head and said, "But you must keep what I say in mind.
I am not in this palace, and no one will protect you. The queen is a smiling tigress. She could stab your heart with a knife, but she still has a pleasant look on her face.
If she tries to win you over, don't believe her. As long as she can handle it on the surface, that's all.
Otherwise, if something happens and the emperor comes back to investigate, the queen can protect herself, but you can't.
Not only you, but our Gao family will also be affected."
Gao Yueying was impatient, her aunt would always make trouble with the Quan Gao family, as if she would dishonor the family lintel if she was not careful.
