Chapter
In fact, Chen Jin's life in the palace is not difficult. Although there are many people in Emperor Cheng's harem who are complimenting and slapped, on the first day of Shen Jin's arrival, he made Lu Concubine Lu, who was so glorious about his dragon heir, think of his mistakes behind closed doors. Who would be willing to provoke Chen Jin? What's more, there are not many women from aristocratic families in Emperor Cheng's harem. Emperor Cheng is wary of the aristocratic families, so he naturally does not want the daughters of the aristocratic families to be favored and gave birth to children. When Emperor Cheng's throne, some aristocratic families were willing to marry their daughters to Emperor Cheng, but they discovered this situation, and the daughters of the aristocratic families secretly cried to their families...
Emperor Cheng’s methods are really hard to say. He likes to favor women from aristocratic families. After all, women who are so coquettish are very good at both appearance and other aspects. However, after being favored, people even give these women a contraceptive medicine. If the queen has no children, they can understand it, but the queen already has a son. If the women in the harem have to drink it, they will endure it, but in the end they only need to drink it.
The girls in the aristocratic family are not only about their appearance, but also their own arrogance. Drinking too much contraceptive medicine can also harm their bodies. In this way, although they dare not resist Emperor Cheng openly, they cried a lot with their family in private. Soon, some of the things in Emperor Cheng's harem were already well aware of. They had no choice but to let the women of their family fall into it again. Some girls in the aristocratic family would rather die than enter the harem, which clearly trampled on their dignity.
It turns out that most of the girls from the aristocratic families who entered the palace died of depression in hopelessness and pain. Most of the remaining ones were women with low status. Moreover, Emperor Cheng liked women who could control them, and the queen and the queen didn't like those who were scheming, so now most of the remaining ones in Emperor Cheng's harem are shallow-skinned.
These people did not dare to expose the limelight of the concubine at the beginning, and now they did not dare to come to find Chen Jin. They also sent people to inquire about the news about the Ganlu Palace, but they didn't know much, just saying that the wife of Yongning Hou cried, and then Concubine Lu was punished. So now these people in the palace just sent people to give gifts to Chen Jin, and they didn't even dare to come, for fear that Chen Jin would cry again, and they were not as favored as Concubine Lu.
However, the empress dowager's harem is not calm now, and the imperial physician is almost always in the empress dowager's harem. Either Chen Jin feels uncomfortable or the empress dowager is unwell. Although Emperor Cheng is dissatisfied with the empress dowager because of King Rui, he has to visit the empress dowager, whether he wants to show it to the people below or has feelings for the empress dowager in his heart. On the day Emperor Cheng goes, the empress was talking to the empress dowager. The empress dowager is not young anymore, especially during this period, when he looks much older than the early days. He wears the word "Fu" and sits on the bed, looking at his face sallow. Even if Emperor Cheng does not know medical skills, he knows that the empress dowager is really bad, and there is also the smell of medicine that cannot be dissipated in the house.
When the Empress Dowager saw Emperor Cheng, she smiled and said, "The Emperor is here."
Emperor Cheng said, "Mother, why didn't anyone tell me that Mother is so sick?"
"I didn't let someone tell the emperor." The empress dowager smiled and said, "The emperor puts national affairs first, and I'm just a minor problem."
The queen stood aside and didn't say anything. The queen mother glanced at her and said, "Empress, the child Jinyato has also been sick recently and cannot get out of bed. You can go and see me."
"Yes." The queen knew that the empress dowager had something to say to Emperor Cheng. Seeing that Emperor Cheng had nothing to say, she responded respectfully and pushed it down first.
When the queen left, Emperor Cheng sat by the empress dowager's bed and reached out to hold the empress dowager's hand. For the first time, he realized that the empress dowager was really old, and he felt a little sad for a moment, "Mother, what else is there? I'll send it to you."
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Emperor, now there is still the matter between the Prince of Ying and the Marquis of Yongning. It will be enough to bother the emperor in the future. I will just raise it."
Emperor Cheng felt a little more guilty when he heard the Empress Dowager say this. He felt that he was not angry with the Empress Dowager a few days ago because of King Rui. However, Emperor Cheng had been the emperor for so long, even if he felt that he was wrong, he would not apologize. He just comforted him, "Don't say this like this from the Queen Mother."
"King Rui..." The Empress Dowager sighed slowly and took the initiative to mention this son, "If I had known today, I would have disciplined King Rui more."
When Emperor Cheng heard this, he thought in his heart that the Empress Dowager had never interfered in the matter of King Rui. He had accused him of discipline King Rui. At most, he gave King Rui a lot of rewards. He had never even left the palace and ate vegetarian food in the Buddhist temple all day long. King Rui couldn't blame the empress dowager for escape. The empress dowager lowered his eyes and coughed a few times. The palace maid quickly brought water to let the empress dowager drink it. The empress dowager was a little better. "At that time..." The empress dowager's voice was a little old, and she was talking about the past, but she was very sensible, and she could stir up the feelings for the empress dowager as her mother, and she would not feel bored.
At the same time, Shen Jin, who was said to be bedridden by the empress dowager, was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch. When she saw the queen, she smiled and stood up. Looking at her rosy face, she was a little weak, "Auntie the Queen."
The queen's eyes flashed. The queen was not surprised that Shen Jin was fine, but Shen Jin did not hide this from the queen. The queen felt that... she was afraid there was something wrong. Although she thought so, the queen didn't say anything. She just walked over and said softly, "My mother said you are sick, I'm worried."
"I deliberately lied to others." Shen Jin said indifferently. After asking the queen to sit down, he asked the maid to serve tremella lotus seeds and wolfberry soup, and said, "Auntie the emperor."
The queen didn't think Shen Jin would harm her, so she tasted a few bites and it tasted good, and she also had a pear fragrance. However, the queen ate too much good things, drank a small half of it and put down the spoon, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "It's really good."
Shen Jin had already used up a bowl and nodded and said, "Auntie the emperor likes it."
The queen said, "Are you still used to it in your mother's harem?"
"It's okay." Shen Jin said, "The emperor's grandmother takes good care of me."
The queen nodded and asked a few more questions, such as what Shen Jin used and liked, and whether she lacked things. Although it was all about scenes, it really gave people a good feeling.
Shen Jin answered one by one, chatting for a while and the queen said, "Your Majesty is talking to the queen of mother."
"Yeah." Shen Jin said indifferently.
The queen was determined to know why the Empress Dowager helped Shen Jin deceive Emperor Cheng, so she asked around the corner, "Do you want to say hello to Your Majesty?"
"No need." Shen Jin said, "The emperor's grandmother asked me to pretend to be sick."
"Oh?" The queen looked at Shen Jin in surprise.
Chen Jin had no intention of hiding it, as if he had no scheming at all. "The emperor's grandmother has many misunderstandings about his father because of his father's affairs."
The queen frowned and said, "Then I..."
"The emperor's grandmother said you don't need to hide it from the emperor's aunt." Chen Jin said bluntly, "Actually... the emperor's grandmother wants to persuade the emperor's uncle to become a crown prince."
The queen's hand trembled, and Chen Jin seemed to be unaware of it. She took the water and drank it and continued, "The emperor's grandmother said, my father doesn't know what's going on now."
Chen Jin just told the Empress Dowager about the words, but the Empress thought in her heart that she was afraid that something happened to King Rui, so the Empress Dowager also had a knot with Emperor Cheng. After all, King Rui was also the Empress Dowager's son. Chen Jin suddenly said, "By the way, the Emperor's grandmother asked me to say something to the Emperor's aunt, no matter which prince is her grandson."
The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "This is natural, why did the Queen Mother suddenly say this?"
Chen Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
The queen nodded, thought in her heart, and vaguely guessed the meaning of the empress dowager. No matter which prince inherited the throne in the end, she was her grandson. Her position was very stable. Moreover, because of King Rui, the empress dowager was afraid that the empress dowager had a grudge against Emperor Cheng. Thinking of this period, the empress dowager let go of power in the palace, the empress pursed her lips and said a while. When Emperor Cheng left, the empress also left with Emperor Cheng.
Emperor Cheng and the Empress sat in the same sedan chair. Emperor Cheng suddenly asked, "How is Mrs. Yongning Hou's health?"
The queen lowered her eyes slightly and sighed, "Somewhat is not good."
"Yeah?" Emperor Cheng frowned and looked at the queen. Emperor Cheng was still half-believing and half-doubted about the words of the queen and the imperial physician. Now that he heard the queen say this, he asked carefully, "What's going on?"
The queen knew what the imperial physician said, and said, "Looking at the bad complexion, I don't have much energy, not only that... I saw that most of the things are nourishing, and I noticed that a lot of hair fell from the pillow..." The queen did not say how serious Chen Jin's disease was, but started from the details.
Emperor Cheng frowned and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand."
The queen glanced at Emperor Cheng and said nothing. After Emperor Cheng returned to the study, he called the imperial physician directly, told the imperial physician what the queen said to her, and asked, "What disease does the imperial physician think is?"
The imperial physician frowned and thought for a moment. After all, he didn't see the pulse with his own eyes. He just said, "Reply to Your Majesty's words, as His Majesty's description, I'm afraid this person is not good and hurts his vitality..."
Emperor Cheng nodded after hearing this, "That's to keep it carefully?"
"Yes." The imperial physician spoke.
Emperor Cheng asked, "Why did you get up? I saw that I was still healthy a few days ago."
"I was very happy and sad, or I suffered from cold and heat on weekdays, but I didn't show it at the beginning. Now that I have started, it will be serious." The imperial physician said respectfully.
Emperor Cheng nodded, "Okay, go ahead, what's going on today..."
"The official understands." The imperial physician kowtowed.
When the imperial physician left, Emperor Cheng narrowed his eyes. If it were just one person and two people, he would be suspicious. Now he believed it seven or eight points. Thinking about what the Empress Dowager said today, Emperor Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Li Fu, say to Concubine Lan, I will accompany her to have dinner today."
"Yes." Li Fu has been standing behind Emperor Cheng. When Emperor Cheng didn't call him, he was like a shadow.
Emperor Cheng nodded, and Li Fu stepped down when he saw that Emperor Cheng had no other instructions.
In the border town, King Rui was not a person who could hide the matter. He went to Zhao Duan early and asked, "Is the matter between the prince and the grandson true or not?"
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looking at King Rui and said, "Of course it's true."
King Rui slowly breathed, "This is also my nephew, I want to meet him."
Zhao Duan nodded, "Should it be like this."
