Yun Shang was shocked. What did Concubine Shu mean? Whenever a concubine in the palace was pregnant, Prince Jing would order Concubine Shu to get rid of the child? Yun Shang felt a cold air spreading from her heart.
Yes, although Prince Jing was only the adopted son of the late emperor, he was still a prince. It would be impossible to say that he had no idea about the throne. Moreover, Prince Jing was good at fighting, and most of the country of Ning was conquered by him.
Guarded. However, if the father has a prince, then the throne will most likely belong to the prince. Prince Jing covets the throne in his heart, so the best way is to leave the father without a prince. Prince Jing is twenty years younger than the father.
For many years, if the father has no children, then after a hundred years, the throne will only belong to Prince Jing.
I had been thinking before that Prince Jing's biggest opponent in the court was the power of the Li family. However, he did not make any big moves. Instead, he carefully planned the move of Concubine Shu in the harem. What was this for?
What. Now, I suddenly discovered that Prince Jing was the most scheming person, and he knew how to achieve his goals quietly.
If it were just someone else, then Yun Shang felt that she would probably sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but now, it is a little different, because Concubine Jin is also pregnant now. If it is someone else in this palace, even the queen, wants to do something to Jin Fei
If the child in the concubine's belly is disadvantageous, he can be sure to prevent it. However, if that person is Prince Jing, then he is really not sure of victory.
Concubine Shu and her maids walked further and further away, but Yun Shang didn't move a step for a long time. Her mind was filled with what she had just heard, and her heart was haunted by how she should respond.
After a long time, Yun Shang walked out from behind the tree and returned to Qingxin Hall.
The next day when Yun Shang went to Qiwu Palace to say hello to the Queen, he saw Hua Jing was there. Yun Shang said hello politely, and then stood aside and listened to the mother and daughter talking. Maybe it was because the Queen was pregnant.
, because Hua Jing was also very happy, he didn’t mention anything about what happened at the small banquet yesterday. Yun Shang stood for a while and then left. He originally planned to go back to Qingxin Palace, but halfway through, he suddenly changed his mind.
, heading towards the palace gate.
After leaving the palace, Yun Shang went straight to Prince Jing's Mansion. When he arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, the attendant at the door saw Yun Shang and let him in without any further questioning. It was only after entering Prince Jing's Mansion that Yun Shang discovered that Prince Jing had gone to
He went to the training ground outside the city to train troops.
"Princess, the prince should be back soon. Please sit down for a while, and I will serve you a cup of tea first." The steward said softly, and then turned around and ordered the attendant to make tea.
Yun Shang sat there for about half an hour before Prince Jing returned home, along with Wang Jinhuan.
Yun Shang looked at the two of them. Prince Jing was wearing a black outfit today, but Wang Jinhuan was always red. Even if she saw it several times, Yun Shang was always surprised. The two people obviously had very different personalities, how could they become
Where are my friends?
"The little princess is here? I heard that yesterday Mrs. Zhao came to the palace to see the emperor with a blood letter, hoping that the emperor would order Hua Jing to divorce her husband. What happened? It's a pity that I couldn't be there.
It's so beautiful." As soon as Wang Jinhuan saw Yun Shang, he hurriedly sat down next to Yun Shang.
King Jing looked at Yun Shang and nodded, "I'll go change my clothes first."
It's "me" again, Yun Shang thought, a little lost in thought.
"Hey, hey, I'm asking you, what happened?" Wang Jinhuan pulled Yunshang's arm.
Only then did Yun Shang come back to her senses, turned around with a smile and said, "You are just worried that the world will not be in chaos. How can you let Mrs. Zhao succeed with the queen here? However, in fact, even if it is only the father, it will definitely not happen."
Yes, after all, Mrs. Zhao just relied on the words of a young monk to blame all the blame for the prince consort being trapped on Hua Jing. There is no evidence and no one will find it absurd. What's more, Hua Jing
After all, she is also the daughter of the father..."
"Oh, it's really boring. After all the trouble, I still didn't knock that vicious princess over. You don't know, that time when I sent you back to the princess's mansion, I got lost in the princess's mansion.
So I used Qinggong to fly out of the princess's house, but I heard that Princess Huajing was planning to harm you at the banquet." Wang Jinhuan pursed his lips and said with some hatred, "How big an enmity do you have with Princess Huajing?
Ah, they are obviously sisters. Although they are not from the same mother, you are still sisters..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang turned her eyes and looked at Wang Jinhuan, "Oh? Is this happening?"
Wang Jinhuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, don't you know? I thought Luo Qingyan would tell you. After hearing this that day, I rushed to tell Luo Qingyan. I was thinking, you and Luo Qingyan
Qingyan's relationship is good, I think he will tell you. However, after hearing what I said, he said something, you will handle it yourself, and left. I thought he would not go to that Laoshizi.
As for the small banquet, many people have sent him invitations before, but he has never been there, but I didn't expect him to go anyway. I think he still can't worry about you, well, that must be the case..."
Yun Shang looked at Wang Jinhuan with some confusion, not understanding why he said this. After all, she and Prince Jing were not very familiar. Just as she was about to ask, she heard a slight cough and Prince Jing walked in.
Yun Shang swallowed the question she was about to ask, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea before saying, "The queen is pregnant."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jinhuan jumped up first, "What? Can that old woman still be pregnant?"
After Yun Shang said these words, her eyes never left Prince Jing's face, but she saw that he was just drinking tea with a calm expression, as if... he had known it for a long time...
Wang Jinhuan seemed to feel that his reaction was too intense. He looked at Prince Jing, then at Yun Shang, sat down angrily, and said lightly "Oh."
Yun Shang didn't know what to say next, so she fell silent.
After a long while, I heard Prince Jing's voice, "Are you okay?"
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment before she realized that Prince Jing's words were probably asking herself, so she quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, the medicine given by the emperor is very good. I will show it to others when I get back.
It’s just that I’ve been resisting for a while, so my body is a little weak, and I’ll be fine after a good sleep.”
Prince Jing nodded, "Well, that's good."
Then he fell silent again. Wang Jinhuan looked back and forth between the two of them for a long time, then coughed twice, stood up and said, "Ah, the weather is nice today. I will go out to enjoy flowers, so I won't accompany you here."
Let’s sit quietly here.” After saying that, he stood up, winked at Prince Jing for a while, and then ran out.
For a while, neither of them spoke. After a long while, Yun Chang said, "Actually, I came to see the emperor today because Chang'er accidentally found out something and had some relationship with the emperor. I don't know.
I’ve been thinking about it for a long time whether it’s true or not, and I feel that instead of making random guesses, it’s better to ask the emperor directly.”
"Oh?" Prince Jing put down his teacup and raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang, "Well, since it's about me, it's always right to ask me. Tell me, what is it that makes you so distressed?"
Yun Shang thought for a moment and then said, "The Queen's pregnancy has not been announced to the public, but the Emperor's uncle already knows about it, right?"
Prince Jing nodded but did not answer.
Yun Shang pondered for a while, "Last night I couldn't sleep because of some things. I went for a walk in the Imperial Garden and happened to meet Concubine Shu. However, she didn't notice me. I accidentally heard something about the Emperor.
Heir."
Prince Jing nodded again, "What's the matter?"
"Concubine Shu said that if a concubine in the palace is pregnant, she will definitely receive an order from the emperor's uncle within a few days, asking her to get rid of the child quietly." Yun Shang's hand slightly clenched the teacup in her hand.
, said softly.
Prince Jing was stunned and silent for a moment before he responded, "It is true..."
Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Prince Jing in astonishment, "Why is your uncle doing this?"
Prince Jing put down his tea cup, stood up, walked to Yun Shang, lowered his head and looked at her, "What do you think about your father and me?"
Such a question was a bit confusing, but Yun Shang immediately understood what he meant. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Uncle Huang is brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful."
Prince Jing smiled, "I ask myself, no matter in any aspect, I am no worse than your father. I was three years old when I was brought back to the palace by your father. I was seven years old when your father ascended the throne. I
When I was seven years old, I was praised by your grandfather, who was the Taifu at that time, and said that I had the talent to manage the world. However, I did not compete with your father, firstly, because I was only his adopted son. Secondly, I did not compete with your father.
Yes, at that time, I had no power and no one in the court who could be used by me..."
"But the emperor still wants that position, right?" Yun Shang didn't expect that Prince Jing would say this to her. She was stunned for a long time before asking softly.
Prince Jing smiled, turned around, and faced Yun Shang sideways, "Who wouldn't want that position?"
"But you were afraid that it would be difficult to make a good move in the previous dynasty, and you were also afraid that excessive participation in the previous dynasty would arouse the vigilance of the father and the ministers, so you deliberately placed your own chess pieces in the harem, right?"
Prince Jing smiled and said, "Yes, in the previous dynasty, the Li family was in power. I led troops out all the year round, so I couldn't do something too blatantly. Besides, I have always felt that the Li family was never a threat to me. Because
, the only thing they can rely on is the Queen. Once something happens to the Queen and she can no longer support them, or the Queen remains childless, then the Li family will collapse in an instant, and there is no need for me to do it.
Something."
Yun Shang felt a little cold all over her body, and after a long time she said, "Then why, my mother-in-law has been pregnant for three months, but you haven't done anything yet."
After hearing this, Prince Jing turned around and looked at Yun Shang, with a smile on his lips and a bit of confusion in his eyes. After a long while, he seemed to mutter to himself, "Why? Actually, I also want to know why?"
Yun Shang didn't understand what Prince Jing meant, and looked at Prince Jing with some doubts, but saw that Prince Jing had returned to his usual expression, as if the confusion just now was just Yun Shang's hallucination.
"Then Queen..." Yun Shang asked again.
Prince Jing turned his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, "Queen? She doesn't need me to do anything at all."
Yun Shang looked at King Jing who seemed to be very sure, and was stunned again. What did this mean? Suddenly she remembered that when the concubine was talking about the child in the queen's belly yesterday, she seemed to have said,
There were many people in the palace who were worried about the Queen's belly. Even if she didn't do anything, the birth would definitely not be so smooth.
Thinking of this, Yun Chang understood something in her heart. She raised her head and said to Prince Jing, "Shang'er understands. Thank you uncle for telling me frankly."
Prince Jing stared at Yun Shang for a long time, then nodded and said with a smile, "Am I now a pretender to the throne in your heart? Do you think that this move of mine?
It’s too vicious.”
Yun Shang shook her head, "If you are not poisonous, then you are not a husband."
When King Jing heard this, his eyes paused for a long time before he smiled and said, "If you are not poisonous, you will not be a husband. That is right. If you are not poisonous, you will not be a husband."
Yun Shang stood up and said goodbye. Prince Jing followed him to the door of the courtyard. After a long time, he almost murmured to himself, "I seem to understand why I failed to attack Concubine Jin. It's probably because of you."
Yun Shang paused and looked at Prince Jing in shock, but saw that he looked at Yun Shang with a smile as if he had never said those words just now, "Then I won't send it away." After saying that, he turned around and went in again.
The yard.
Yun Shang stood at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time, feeling as if she was in a dream. After a long time, she turned around and left.
"Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, probably it's because of you... Oh my god, Luo Qingyan, you would say such a thing, I almost fell off the roof in fright, you know? I always thought that
, in fact, you have a habit of cutting off your sleeves. Once upon a time, I also thought that it was because I was so beautiful that you had an undue desire for me, so you have been unwilling to contact women. Once upon a time, I once thought
I feel guilty for this, and I feel sorry for those girls who like you. Once, every time you looked at me so affectionately, and every time I was the only one by your side, I even thought about it.
, should I obey you..." Wang Jinhuan looked at Prince Jing standing in the study room, staring blankly at the door of the courtyard, then he circled around Prince Jing several times and said in wonder.
"Oh, but now that the merits have finally been fulfilled, you, Luo Qingyan, can actually miss a girl so much. Oh, it makes me feel very happy just thinking about it. This little princess must have been sent down by God to punish you because he can't stand you.
, it seems that I have more communication with her... However, Luo Qingyan, she is your niece, she is twelve years younger than you, how can you do it...
..." A louder voice came out, and then there was a "bang" sound, and a red figure lay on the ground in the yard.
"Luo Qingyan, you are cruel, I will go to the little princess to complain later..." Wang Jinhuan's voice was filled with pain, "Oh my God, my arm, my arm is about to break, Luo Qingyan,
Ask the doctor to take a look at it quickly..."
When Yun Shang returned to Qingxin Hall, Qinyi and Qianyin were standing at the door and looking around. They were relieved when they saw Yun Shang's figure and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess, where have you been?"
Earlier, you went to greet the queen and didn't let the slaves follow you. The slaves have been waiting in the palace for a long time without seeing you come back, but the slaves are so anxious."
Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. It was all thanks to the emperor's uncle yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have been so relaxed. When I went to greet the queen and came back, I suddenly remembered that I left in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't even think about it.
I wanted to express my gratitude to the emperor's uncle, so I made a special trip to Prince Jing's Mansion. When I went there, the emperor's uncle went to the military training ground outside the city, so I waited a little longer."
Last night Yun Shang told Qin Yi and Qian Yin what had happened, causing the two girls to scold Hua Jing for the whole night. They also felt a little more grateful to Prince Jing. When Yun Shang said this, Qin Yi
Yi Bian nodded and said, "You should thank Prince Jing properly. Prince Jing has helped a lot when things happened several times recently. Speaking of which, Prince Jing is really the princess's lucky star."
Hearing this, Yun Shang suddenly remembered what she said when she left Prince Jing's Mansion earlier, "Probably, it's because of you..." Yun Shang thought about it all the way, but she still didn't understand why Prince Jing suddenly said this.
"Princess, princess..." Qin Yi's call came to her ears, and Yun Shang suddenly came back to her senses. She was surprised to realize that she seemed to be thinking about Prince Jing more and more recently, and she trembled secretly in her heart.
"Um?"
Qin Yi stared at Yun Shang for a while and then said, "Princess, why are you so old and so dazed recently?" She complained, and then quickly continued, "Princess, I heard from Manager Zheng that Mrs. Zhao really went alone.
At the border..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang nodded, "Mrs. Zhao is not a bad person. Although her temper is a bit strange, she is indeed very good to her son."
Hearing this, Qianyin also took over the words and said, "Every time I see Princess Hua Jing being rendered speechless by Mrs. Zhao, I feel very happy. In this world, there are still people who completely hate Hua Jing."
She doesn’t have any good feelings and targets her at every turn, which makes Hua Jing afraid to fight back blatantly.”
Yun Shang also smiled slightly and said, "Qianyin, ask someone to ask how Zhao Yingjie's affairs are going."
Qianyin nodded, "I will send someone out with the letter later."
Yun Shang said "Yes", sat down on the soft couch, and took a book casually, "By the way, while I was gone today, was there any movement at the Queen's side?"
Qianyin helped Yun Shang get a blanket to cover her, and then said, "The Winter Solstice will be here in a few days. I heard that the Queen and Hua Jing are discussing and are planning to announce the Queen's pregnancy during the Winter Solstice celebration..."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "She does know how to attract the most attention."
Speaking of the Winter Solstice celebration, Yun Shang remembered something she had ordered a long time ago and asked, "Are the things I asked people to prepare ready? Regarding...the Winter Solstice Ceremony..."
Hearing this, Qianyin's eyebrows showed a bit of pride, "I'm reporting back to the princess, everything is ready. On the winter solstice, I will definitely give the queen a big gift." (To be continued)
