Chapter 208 When the Queen is an Expert in Abortion
"Girl, you are born with a noble destiny, which is beyond words. You are destined to have a child, but you have no fate of having a child in this life. If you want a child, you will have to give up your noble destiny."
This is already the eleventh girl that Zhang Shan has fooled, and they are all old acquaintances. In the previous life, the original owner entered the palace at the same time as them and was loved by the emperor. They were in good health, so naturally they soon had good news.
The emperor is over thirty years old, but he only has the eldest son born to the queen. There have been women who got pregnant over the years, but they were all aborted by the queen.
Even though the emperor knew that it was the queen's doing, for the sake of the eldest prince, he could only deal with it perfunctorily.
This also fueled the queen's arrogance, and she became more and more adept at dealing with pregnant concubines in the harem.
The original owner's concubines were naturally murdered by the queen. Those who were lucky could still survive, but those who were unlucky were killed. The original owner was not sure whether she was lucky or unlucky, but she was a woman who was very easy to conceive. She got pregnant fifteen times in ten years, and she was either pregnant or in the confinement of a baby.
Later, the eldest prince jumped off his horse and died. In order to consolidate her position, the queen caused the original owner to give birth prematurely, killing the mother and keeping the child. She then held the second prince in her hand and became arrogant again.
When the second prince was twelve years old, the emperor died suddenly, and the original owner's son ascended the throne. Due to his weak health, the empress dowager took control of the government. From then on, the people of Daye Dynasty lived in misery.
There was a very spiritual monk in Lingyin Temple who once read the fortune of the empress, who was still in her boudoir. He concluded that she was a real phoenix of inestimable value, and that was why she was betrothed to the current emperor by the late emperor.
But that monk had disappeared for many years. When Zhang Shan came, he had passed away for a long time, so she dared to pretend to be a ghost and cheat people.
But what she said was only the truth. If they chose wealth and glory, they would be destined to have no children.
The turning point lies in the draft.
Zhang Shan is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works. Naturally, she is as beautiful as a peach or plum, otherwise she would not have been chosen by the emperor and entered the palace to accompany him.
The current emperor has two younger brothers, but they are not born to the late empress dowager. After the emperor ascended the throne, he detained them in the imperial mausoleum. There were too many rumors during this period, so they were brought back to the capital and named Prince Ping and Prince An.
Just by looking at the titles, you can tell that the emperor does not like these two younger brothers.
"Have Prince Ping and Prince An arrived?"
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the tea bowl, and asked with seeming concern.
Eunuch Li knew very well that the Emperor was afraid of these two princes. The Emperor now had only one eldest prince, who was raised to be arrogant and domineering by the Queen.
Of course, the emperor was reluctant to blame his only child.
It is not a good thing that the emperor has few offspring. He cannot solve the problem himself, but can only solve the problem of his enemies.
As a result, the emperor delayed inviting the two princes to the capital, and had no plans to grant them a marriage.
Today, the two princes are already in their twenties, and they don’t even have someone to warm their beds.
"The two princes' carriages have arrived outside the city gate."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction. Although he brought the two men back because of the rumors, he still felt happy to see his two beloved brothers in such a miserable state.
Prince Ping and Prince An were sent to the imperial mausoleum when they were six years old. Now they are twenty-three years old. With the emperor's supervision, they can't cause any trouble at all. They have been completely spoiled.
"Pass on my order. My two brothers are exhausted from the journey. Please return to your respective residences to rest before entering the palace for the banquet."
"Yes, Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. I'm sure the two princes will be grateful and thank you for your great grace."
The emperor was so pleased with the flattery that he stood up and planned to go to the imperial garden to meet the concubines. He enjoyed the competition for favor among the concubines, which made him happy both physically and mentally.
At this time, the Queen held a memorial in her hand with an unpleasant expression on her face, "Is this daughter of Minister Zhang really destined to have many children and great fortune?"
"Your Majesty, this is how the Lingyin Temple's approval document is written. There has never been a mistake. And that Zhang looks like a demon. We must not let her have the opportunity to confuse the emperor!"
She is beautiful and fertile, each of which precisely touches the queen's tear points.
"If that's the case, then she's just unlucky."
Her prince must be the emperor's only son, the future emperor, and no one else can get involved.
The queen threw the letter with Zhang Shan's name on it into the brazier, and the flames quickly burned the letter to ashes.
Zhang Shan is also starting her next plan.
Although rumors were used to force the emperor to bring the two princes back to Jingjing, it was not necessarily a good thing for the two princes. They would be invisible people when they came to the capital, and it was even more impossible for them to be granted marriage.
Even if she was granted marriage, she was not a good girl.
Therefore, the next step is to make the emperor "pay attention" to these two princes.
Prince Ping and Prince An were sent to the imperial mausoleum when they were six years old. Seventeen years have passed, and no one in the capital recognizes them.
In fact, Prince An had died on the way to the imperial mausoleum. His wet nurse was afraid that he would be beheaded by the emperor, so she pulled out her own son to replace him. The current Prince An is not of royal blood.
"I have enjoyed seventeen years of wealth and glory. It's time to pay the price for it."
Zhang Shan burned the letters with the life story of Prince An one by one. Now that she had a goal in mind, the next step was easier to carry out.
When Zhang Shan entered the primary election, Prince An, who had just returned to the capital, was murdered. His death was tragic.
At the same time, Prince Ping was also assassinated in his palace. Having never seen such a scene before, Prince Ping fainted.
No matter how they investigated the two assassinations, they could not find the real culprit behind them. All suspicions pointed to the emperor, who was so angry that his face turned green.
"How dare such a thing happen under the emperor's feet? This is a challenge to the emperor's power. Check it for me!"
He was not angry about the assassinations of Prince Ping and Prince An. He wished that his two brothers would die together. Instead, he was angry that the assassin put the blame on him and caused the world to misunderstand him.
The emperor was very angry, but in order to show that he was not the kind of person who killed his brothers and sisters, he sent more than a dozen imperial doctors to Prince Ping's mansion to treat Prince Ping.
In order to show his respect for Prince Ping, he also decided to choose a dignified and beautiful princess for him during this year's selection.
King Ping felt that he had experienced more during this period than he had seen in the first half of his life. His mood was up and down, and he was even more nervous.
But he always had a hunch that there seemed to be a hand pushing all this to happen, whether it was the previous rumors, the death of Prince An, or the emperor's plan to grant him a marriage.
The emperor was worried that his two brothers would unite together and have a bad influence on him, so even though they were both in the imperial mausoleum, they had not seen each other once in seventeen years.
Therefore, King Ping was not sad about the death of King An. What he was worried about was the invisible hand, the person who was plotting everything behind the scenes.
Because the eldest prince suddenly fell ill, the emperor was not present for the selection, so the final step of the palace selection was presided over by the queen. Whoever she wanted to enter the palace could enter.
Not surprisingly, except for Zhang Shan, the other eleven girls whose fortunes had been told entered the palace. The reason was simple: the emperor had seen them in the imperial garden and they all left an impression on him.
"Is there anyone suitable for Prince Ping in this selection? Prince Ping is already 23 years old and doesn't even have a close friend around him. Queen, please give him some advice and choose a suitable princess for him."
For some reason, the queen thought of the daughter of Minister Zhang, who was destined to have many children. The emperor had given her to Prince Ping with his own words, and he could not go back on his word.
Worried that Zhang Shan would confuse the emperor like the other eleven beauties, the emperor pulled out Zhang Shan's "portrait" and said, "This is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works. She is very dignified and polite. I think she is a perfect match for Prince Ping."
When the emperor saw the girl in the portrait who was only pretty, he immediately lost interest and with a wave of his hand, he gave Zhang Shan to Prince Ping as his wife.
Compared to Zhang Shan's strategic planning, the rest of the Zhang family showed worried expressions. Even the cousin who had always been at odds with him sighed, "Prince Ping is a noble prince of the royal family, but to put it bluntly, he is just an old man without power who is regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side. The emperor doesn't even like Zhang Shan's appearance. Is he blind?"
Third Aunt was so scared that she quickly covered her daughter's mouth. It was also because Zhang Fei had such a mouth that could easily offend people that Third Uncle bribed the nanny in charge of the selection early on to have her eliminated before the palace selection.
"Just shut up now, be careful what you say!"
"I'm just telling the truth. What's there to be afraid of? We are all on the list of nine clans. Who wouldn't want to die tell it to others?" Zhang Fei looked indifferent.
The selected beauties had been in the palace for a long time before the emperor chose a wedding date for Zhang Shan and Prince Ping.
King Ping was like a puppet, he strolled around the street and then returned to the palace. The palace was decorated with lights and colors everywhere, but there were very few guests. All who came were colleagues of Zhang's father and Zhang Sanshu, and they all left after drinking.
When the veil was lifted, a beautiful face was revealed. Prince Ping was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would really be willing to give such a beautiful woman to him as his princess.
"Your Majesty."
Prince Ping looked away, but his ears were already red. "Princess, let's get some rest."
The unreliable emperor did not arrange any palace maids to teach Prince Ping about human affairs, so when the two of them had been lying in bed for half an hour, Zhang Shan almost fell asleep, and there was no movement from Prince Ping.
Zhang Shan, who originally wanted to create the character of a gentle, kind, dignified and elegant princess, was completely numb, so she took the initiative. Otherwise, where would the child come from?
"Princess, you you you... um..."
That night, King Ping tossed and turned and did not fall asleep until dawn.
"My Lord, my Princess, it's time to get up!"
There is also going to the palace to express gratitude.
Taohong only dared to go in after hearing the noise inside. She didn't even dare to raise her head. She walked straight behind Zhang Shan and helped her wash and dress.
After getting dressed, Zhang Shan called Prince Ping to wake up, "Prince, it's time to get up."
King Ping turned over and continued to sleep.
Zhang Shan looked at the scratches on Prince Ping's back with satisfaction before letting the servant come in to help Prince Ping put on his clothes.
After a long time, King Ping finally woke up, but his eyes were black and blue, as if a demon had sucked all his energy away.
Zhang Shan did not go to pay a visit to the Emperor, but went to the Queen's Kunning Palace, and listened calmly to the open and hidden sarcasm of those ladies with imperial titles. The Queen looked at Zhang Shan's face and still felt disgusted for no reason. Fortunately, such a person did not enter the palace.
After leaving the palace, Prince Ping fell asleep in the carriage. Even when they arrived at the palace, he could not be awakened. In the end, a servant had to carry him in on a stretcher.
"If this princess hears rumors about what happened today, she might get into trouble and even bring trouble to her family."
After beating the servant, Zhang Shan went back to catch up on her sleep. After all, she was the one who did the most work last night.
The two woke up in a daze in the evening, their stomachs growling with hunger.
King Ping blushed when he thought about what happened last night and this morning.
"Don't worry, I've asked the servants to keep their mouths shut, no one else will know." Zhang Shan leaned lazily against the head of the bed, her rosy face reminded King Ping of a word -
Satisfied!
Prince Ping quickly got out of bed. After he was dressed, Tao Hong came in to help Zhang Shan get up. "Princess, Xiao Li sent a message back saying that the medicine has run out. Should we continue?"
"No need, one course of treatment is enough. Have you found someone in the imperial kitchen?"
Taohong nodded, "She is from the same hometown as Xiaoli. She is a great cook, but she has always been excluded. Last month, she accidentally knocked over an oil bottle and was beaten by the manager. She was then transferred to chop wood."
"Is your hand not badly injured? Can you still chop wood?"
