"Okay..." Si Ningchi seemed to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and slowly raised his hand to touch his abdomen, seeming to murmur with some complicated emotions: "The children of this palace can only be the most noble."
man of."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Si Ningchi said.
They were really afraid that the Queen would go crazy regardless of her, and if she committed any mass murder, she would not care about the horror of the child in her belly!
Concubine De and Concubine Shu sat for a while, said some comforting words, and then turned the topic to the child in the Empress's belly.
Perhaps because of the confinement and the good care of the imperial doctor, the Empress's fetus is very stable, and the Empress's own body is also strong. As long as she is raised with peace of mind, she will be fine.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat for a while before going back.
Because of the drama played by Si Ningchi and Zhao Zongheng, Empress Dowager Cui was finally relieved, and because of Zhao Zongheng's attitude, Mrs. Cui had endless reveries in her heart.
Even Cui couldn't help but wonder, if that incident had not happened that year, she would have been Zhao Zongheng's legitimate crown princess, and then it would not be Si Ningchi who is sitting as the queen now!
Cui couldn't help but tremble with excitement when she thought of this. She breathed a little quickly, raised her voice and called the waiter in and asked: "Where is the emperor now?"
"The Emperor is in his chamber." The palace people were not surprised that Queen Mother Cui asked where the Emperor was. In the past, Queen Mother Cui always asked because it was clear that the Emperor never came to see the Queen Mother.
"How is the emperor feeling now? What are you doing?" But this time Queen Mother Cui asked more carefully.
"This servant is not in a good mood when looking at the Emperor. The Queen and the Emperor are quarreling like this..." the palace man muttered secretly.
"Answer the Ai family's questions, why do you need to say more." Empress Dowager Cui glanced at the palace man coldly, stood up and walked out, saying: "From now on, send someone to keep an eye on the emperor's every move. If the emperor goes
If you are looking for your concubine, write down every detail of their relationship!"
"Yes." The person in the lower palace shrank his head, not daring to ask any more questions and responded repeatedly.
In the days that followed, the emperor and empress seemed to have completely broken up.
Except for summoning the imperial physician to inquire about the status of the fetus in the queen's belly, Zhao Zongheng did not even set foot in Fengwu Palace once.
In addition to handling government affairs and going to court, in the last free time he spent time with his concubine.
The two people's actions cannot be said to be very intimate, but there is a hint of ambiguity invisibly.
Now Yibi has even set foot in Xuanming Hall. When Zhao Zongheng was handling court affairs, Yibi knelt down and polished it carefully.
This kind of relationship made Queen Mother Cui very clearly and intuitively think of the relationship between her and Zhao Zongheng when they were young. Isn't it exactly the same as them?
"He really still misses me..." When she learned about this situation, Mrs. Cui felt unspeakable excitement and ecstasy in her heart, as if she had discovered something extremely important secret. Even because of this, she would not go there again.
When I was looking for Zhao Zongheng, I was no longer angry when I saw Zhao Zongheng’s cold face.
"Why is the emperor so resistant to seeing the Ai family?" Cui looked at Zhao Zongheng calmly and said with a smile: "The emperor can be so affectionate to a fake, why is he unwilling to get closer to the Ai family?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, the Queen Mother?" Zhao Zongheng's eyes were full of boredom, and his brows furrowed even more when he heard Cui's words.
"Why don't you admit it, Your Majesty?" Ms. Cui smiled, walked towards Zhao Zongheng and said, "Isn't it because the Emperor kept his concubine because he loved his family?"
"It's just that he has a face similar to that of the Aijia..." Cui was a little disdainful, then raised her eyes to Zhao Zongheng and said: "If it weren't for this intention, the Aijia would have never noticed the emperor's thoughts at all.
."
"It turns out that the emperor..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Zongheng seemed to have been poked at some sensitive point. He suddenly stood up with an angry look on his face, scolded Ms. Cui and said, "Be careful what you say, Queen Mother!"
"I have nothing to say between you and me." Zhao Zongheng seemed to be trying his best to hide something, and rolled his sleeves to drive Mr. Cui out.
But the more Ms. Cui looked at Zhao Zongheng like this, the more certain she became in her mind.
Ms. Cui no longer left as obediently as before. Instead of retreating, she advanced, her eyes looked directly at Zhao Zongheng and said: "Why do you need to hide it! If Queen Qi hadn't intervened back then, you and I would have been husband and wife!"
Zhao Zongheng's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable. He suddenly looked at Ms. Cui and said, "What did you say? What meddling? What did my queen mother meddle in?"
"It turns out that the emperor really knows nothing..." Seeing Zhao Zongheng's reaction, Ms. Cui felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
"Speak clearly." Zhao Zongheng forced himself to calm down. It was the first time in so many years that Zhao Zongheng heard such something related to his mother from Cui's mouth. Judging from Cui's tone, it was very likely that it had something to do with his mother's accident.
"It doesn't matter, everything is over." Ms. Cui didn't want to say anything. Instead, she looked at Zhao Zongheng with a smile and said, "It's enough for me to know the emperor's wishes."
"..."
Zhao Zongheng's face was distorted for a moment, he held back his emotions, looked at Cui in a cold voice and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
Mrs. Cui looked at Zhao Zongheng with complicated eyes, and Wang Chengxiang's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the concubine has brought soup to you."
Mrs. Cui's face turned ugly for a moment, as if she was dissatisfied with being disturbed by the concubine.
"If nothing happens to the Queen Mother, please go back to the palace." Zhao Zongheng showed that he couldn't wait to see his concubine, and immediately spoke out to drive Cui away.
When Mrs. Cui was about to leave the palace, she raised her eyes and saw the delicately dressed concubine. Staring at her face, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she strode away with a soft hum.
Empress Dowager Cui's attitude toward the emperor changed very obviously, and she even began to wash his hands and make soup for the emperor herself.
If this was a 'mother and son', it would be worth talking about. However, the Queen Mother's behavior makes people unable to help but think about it. She does not seem to have the attitude of an elder. She is clearly suspected of competing for favor. It is really unsightly...
However, Empress Dowager Cui didn't seem to care about those words at all. Not only did she start to take care of the emperor's food, she even cared about the emperor's clothes, and personally sewed a knee-protecting belt for the emperor.
Now the court can only say one thing bravely: it is a good thing that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is easing, and there is such nonsense as mother and son being harmonious.
"What do you mean, Queen Mother!" The most unhappy one right now was the concubine. After being disturbed by Queen Mother Cui several times when she went to see the emperor, she finally became dissatisfied.
"Not even mother and son can dominate the emperor like this." Yi Bi said with a frown.
