While they were talking, Mrs. Wang also arrived. With a big belly, she held Qiuyue's hand and came to Concubine Xin. She knelt down and said, "Congratulations, empress!"
Concubine Xin quickly glanced at her swollen belly, jealousy flashed across her eyes, raised her hand and said: "Sister, I'm sorry." After Mrs. Wang stood up, she added: "I have been busy recently, and I haven't been able to get enough.
I have free time to visit my sister. Is she okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, my concubine. Everything is fine with me." After saying that, she stroked her belly and chuckled: "It's just that this child is very naughty and often moves around in the house. He refuses to stop at night, which makes me often
Can't sleep."
Concubine Xin secretly clenched her hands. This bitch, Mrs. Wang, was clearly showing off. If her child had not been killed by that stupid misfortune of Xiao Huazi, she would be as old as she is now.
She smiled weakly and said: "If the child is naughty, it means that the child is healthy. If he is motionless all day long, it will be worrying."
Mrs. Chen heard their words from the side and came over and said: "So naughty, it seems that he must be a little brother."
Mrs. Wang felt happy when she heard this and was about to speak when Concubine Xin suddenly said: "I don't know you that way. When I was pregnant with the two little princesses, the nun who served me once said that the one with the pointed belly is a boy and the one with the round belly is a boy."
The baby is a girl, and it turns out that the baby I gave birth to is indeed a princess. Now Dunbi’s belly is exactly the same as mine back then. According to me, there is a high probability that she is a little princess.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly darkened. Concubine Xin knew that she was looking forward to giving birth to a little brother, but she still said such words. It was simply revenge for what she had just said, and she was not happy about it.
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Ms. Chen quickly smoothed things over, "Brother or princess, they are both heirs of the emperor, there is no difference."
Mrs. Wang took a breath, raised her lips and said, "Your Majesty is right, they are all the emperor's heirs, the emperor's flesh and blood. Besides, those words about a round belly and a pointed belly are all the ignorant opinions of village women in the mountains.
It’s ridiculous to think that you can believe it, but some people take it as a wise saying!”
Concubine Xin was already unhappy, and when she said this, she became even more angry. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Chen already said in advance: "Concubine Dun must be tired after standing for so long. Please sit down quickly.
When the emperor comes, we can start the banquet."
After Wang left, Concubine Xin pulled the silk with resentment and said: "Today is a great day for me to be canonized, but she wants to make trouble for me. She takes advantage of the fact that she is pregnant with a dragon fetus and doesn't take me seriously at all."
inside!"
Mrs. Chen advised: "Forget it, she has that kind of temperament, why do you need to be on the same level with her, so as not to cause trouble to yourself."
Concubine Xin looked at Mrs. Wang's back and gritted her teeth and said, "I know it too, but when I saw her face, I couldn't help but get angry. It's so irritating!"
Xiuzhu interjected: "I heard that Concubine Dun complained many times in front of the Emperor about the Emperor's promotion of his master as his concubine. It wasn't until the Emperor was unhappy that he calmed down a little." As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said.
"I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but it will be fine if I give birth to a princess from now on. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this palace to have a peaceful life in the future."
Mrs. Chen frowned and said: "After all, the Queen is still here, so I think the concubine Dun will not be able to cause any trouble."
Concubine Xin glanced at Xianyue not far away and remained silent. Seeing this, Mrs. Chen said softly: "What's wrong? The Queen still misunderstood you because of what happened before?"
Concubine Xin smiled sadly and said, "It's not a misunderstanding. After all, I did do something wrong at that time."
Ms. Chen said distressedly: "You also have good intentions and want to help me. Besides, you don't know what Xiao Huazi did."
Concubine Xin shook her head and said: "It would be great if the Queen thought like my sister, but it's a pity...she always thinks that Xiao Huazi is my instigator, and even A Deyin is mine, so I can't argue with her."
Mrs. Chen sighed and comforted: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't think too much; no matter what, I will help you."
Concubine Xin said gratefully: "Fortunately, I still have a sister, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "Okay, take a seat, the emperor will be here in a while."
In the Yangxin Hall, Hongli was frowning tightly, "You said Wende refused to hand over the military talisman?"
Zhaohui said: "He didn't say it clearly. He only said that there are still some things in the two flags of Zhenglan and Xianglan. After they are dealt with, he will hand over the military symbols immediately."
Hong Zhou was also in the palace. He frowned and said, "Even if there is something really wrong in the army, he shouldn't hold on to the military talisman like this." After saying that, he said, "Your Majesty, has Wende noticed our secret?
Intention, after all we have been sending people to track down his affairs in the past few months?"
Hongli didn't say anything. He took a few steps with his hands behind his hands and said, "Zhaohui, go to Wende Mansion again and tell him that if you have anything to do, just tell him and the new governor will take care of it."
Zhaohui responded and said hesitantly: "What should we do if... Wende insists on refusing to hand over the military talisman?"
Hongli said coldly: "Does he really think that a mere military talisman can protect his Dai Jia family for the rest of his life? Ridiculous!" After that, he added: "Just follow my words and pass it on."
"I obey the order!" After Zhaohui left, Hongli looked at the red-hot silver charcoal in the charcoal basin in the corner and said: "Lao Wu, you will go to Fengtai Camp later to let them prepare.
, Agui, I will pass the order to him."
"My brother understands." Hong Zhou agreed and said tentatively: "Is the emperor worried that Wen De will rebel?"
Hongli said in a deep voice: "If he really knows my intention to grant him the title of Jin, but refuses to hand over his military power and takes risks... it may not be impossible, so he has to make preparations as soon as possible." At this point, he sighed.
Said: "I hope I am over-worrying about all this."
"Brother, I will make arrangements." After saying that, Hong Zhou turned around and said, "Brother, I heard that the emperor imprisoned Master Kongjing. I wonder why?"
Hongli's eyes turned cold and he said calmly: "I have my own opinion on this matter. You don't need to interfere. Just step aside."
Hong Zhou did not retreat as he was told, but said: "The emperor did this for the sake of the twelfth elder brother? But isn't Wei Xiuyan ready to give birth in two months? Why..."
Hongli interrupted him sharply, "I tell you to stand down!"
His attitude made Hong Zhou feel that there was something wrong even more, but Hong Li refused to say anything, so he had to follow Xiao Wu out. Looking at the closed palace door behind him, he whispered: "Fifth Eunuch, do you know what happened?
?”
Xiao Wu bowed and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter."
Hong Zhouyuan didn't hold out much hope. After all, Xiao Wu was from Hongli. Even if he knew about many things, he wouldn't tell him due to his status and Hongli's orders.
Just when Hongli was about to leave, Xiao Wu whispered: "But I know that when Brother Eleven just passed away, Tang Jianzheng went to see the emperor."
