The nine princesses of the East Palace

"Yong Niang, have the quarrel between Your Majesty and the Empress resolved?" the ancestor asked me.

"It's reconciled." I replied, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty have a very good relationship."

After hearing this, the old ancestor just sighed and asked me to back down.Before I walked out of the palace gate, I heard her old man talking to herself, "Why is there still no movement in Xiaofeng's stomach?"

I, too, find this to be weird.

Although His Majesty and Queen have been married for three years, their relationship is just like when they were newly married.The empress is not as shy as the girl from the Central Plains, she is as passionate as fire, and she and His Majesty often have a good time, often lingering until late at night, but she has never conceived.

All the officials in the court are worried about the issue of His Majesty's heirs.But His Majesty doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, every time someone advances this matter with him, he just laughs it off.

His Majesty has been on the throne for more than a year. To the common people, he is undoubtedly a good emperor. He knows people and uses them well, and manages the politics of the dynasty in an orderly manner. Today's N Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe and sound.But for the minister, he is really a headache. There are no concubines in his harem, only the queen, the queen has no children, and he is a foreigner. How can this be reassuring.However, apart from being close to the queen, His Majesty only occasionally hunts, and has no bad habits. He just doesn't take concubines, doesn't have children, and the officials are helpless.

For the royal family, having few children is not a good sign. It is not required to have ten or eight sons, but there must be one or two.Therefore, the most restless is the ancestors.

For this reason, the ancestors came to me every now and then to ask about the situation of His Majesty and the Empress, and talked to the Empress frequently, and even asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for the Empress.However, no matter which imperial physician looked at it, they all said that the queen was in good health and there was nothing wrong with it.

The queen is healthy, but she hasn't had anything to do for three years, so the problem naturally lies with Her Majesty.The old ancestor had no choice but to order someone to invite His Majesty.

When your Majesty came down, I happened to have something to do with Yingniang, so I was also there.He only listened to the old ancestor's words, and he said it with reason and emotion, but His Majesty just smiled slightly, "Grandma, Xiao Feng, is still young. This woman's childbirth is like entering the gate of hell. I don't want her to give birth." Suffering from production."

The old ancestor rolled his eyes in anger, but he could only say in a good voice: "Then you should accept a few concubines and ask other women to give birth to you."

His Majesty said: "That's not okay. I'm most afraid of those messy women. If I get a group of them into the palace, if they have evil intentions, I can't deal with them even if I want to."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, you just conjured up my great-great-grandson out of thin air!" The old ancestor stroked his brows and said, "My body is getting worse every year, you want to let my old bones You can't hug your great-great-grandson before you die, right?"

When His Majesty heard this, he hurriedly said: "Grandma, it's not just that you can have this child, you have to let nature take its course."

The old ancestor said: "You have been saying this for three years. I am tired of hearing it since you got married."

"The past was the past, and the present is the present," His Majesty said.

The old ancestor's eyes lit up, he stared at His Majesty and asked, "Really?"

His Majesty just smiled.

After that, the ancestor didn't ask His Majesty any more questions about the child for two months.Just occasionally ask me about the relationship between His Majesty and the Queen, and whether they will sleep together at night.

Your Majesty and the Empress are naturally in a good relationship, and their lives are as smooth as honey. I sometimes feel envious when I see them.

The queen was diagnosed to be pregnant on a hot sunny day in March. She felt that the palace was very stuffy that day, so she took people out of the palace to enjoy the peach blossoms on the mountain.Halfway through the walk, I suddenly felt nauseous and my face turned pale. I hurriedly sent people down the mountain to invite a doctor. The doctor felt her pulse and said that she was more than one month pregnant.

The queen was very happy when she learned about it, and she stopped rewarding the flowers. Her whole life became lively, she trotted all the way down the mountain, got on her horse and went back to the palace.

I was frightened half to death, I don't know how to ride a horse, so naturally I couldn't keep up with her, so I had to ask several guards to follow her quickly.

When I returned to the palace, the Queen kept her face down and said nothing, while His Majesty kept a downcast face. Both of them stood up straight, as if they were confronting each other, neither would let the other.

This...why are we arguing again?

I hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame your majesty. Your majesty is so happy that she wants to share the joy with your majesty at the first time, so that she forgets her own safety. It's the maidservant's fault. I couldn't stop your majesty. Please give me a death penalty." .”

"Oh, Yong Niang, what are you doing kneeling!" The queen stretched out her hand to pull me, "You are not wrong, I am the one who wants to come back."

Naturally, I didn't dare to get up, but I didn't say anything, I just knelt there.

The empress is kind and soft-hearted, she doesn't want me to kneel, so she immediately pulled on His Majesty's sleeve, "Li Chengyin, just let Yong Niang get up. I was wrong, can't I be wrong? I won't run around anymore, I will protect the child in my womb..."

His Majesty pressed her onto the chair with a sullen face, "Can't you sit down?"

"I..." The queen could only sit still.

His Majesty said: "Of course you have to protect the child, but you have to protect yourself even more. Otherwise, don't give birth. I don't want to be scared to death by you."

"How can this be done? I want to give you two...no, three children." The queen's voice was crisp and sweet.

His Majesty seemed to be stunned, and after a while he said: "Fool, one is enough. One is good, there is no need to fight for power, and you don't have to worry about brothers killing each other."

"Not good." The Queen said, "One is so lonely."

His Majesty said: "What are you talking about, how can he be lonely with a mother like you?"

"You're just bluffing." The Queen muttered.

Your Majesty didn't continue talking about this issue with her, but just remembered me who was still kneeling on the ground, and said to me: "Yong Niang, get up."

So I got up.

His Majesty continued: "Pregnancy is the most dangerous thing for a woman. The queen is confused and careless. You are an old man in the palace and have a delicate mind. Look at her more. You can't go wrong with what you eat or use. Although the world is peaceful now, but People's hearts are unpredictable, and we should not let our guard down at any time, we must ensure the safety of the Queen."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this maid understands." I said.

"Well. You go out." His Majesty said.

So I went out of the palace gate.

The queen was pregnant, and the ancestors were very happy when they found out. Her old man thought that the Shouning Palace was too far away from the Central Palace, so he moved into the Central Palace. If you are pregnant, you should not have intercourse in the first three months.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the old ancestor is the biggest. Your Majesty has always been filial to the old ancestor, but she couldn't hold her back, so she had to move away.

The ancestors looked closely at the queen, like looking at some precious lumps, and all matters in the palace were no longer in the hands of the queen, but were handed over to the concubines.

The queen was completely free, and for two months, she just accompanied her ancestors to listen to music and scriptures.

The queen has a restless temperament, so it's okay to ask her to listen to the scriptures for a few days, but to listen to it for two months without letting her out of the middle palace, she is really bored.Fortunately, His Majesty often sneaks over to take a look during his busy schedule, and brings her interesting gadgets, otherwise, she will probably be depressed for a long time.

Your Majesty will not stay in the Central Palace for too long every day, let alone stay overnight, because the old ancestors and her elders do not allow it.

After finally passing the first three months, the fetus in the queen's womb has always been healthy, and the ancestors finally felt relieved, and they no longer obstructed His Majesty from meeting the queen.Even if His Majesty stayed in the Central Palace, she would turn a blind eye and be happy.

But as her belly got bigger day by day, the queen didn't like to get close to her majesty.I often hear her complain to His Majesty that the bed is too small and he always squeezes her.

In fact, the bed in the queen's hall is not small, and it is no problem for three or five people to lie on it.She felt crowded, but it was because His Majesty liked to hold her to sleep at night.When your majesty was still the crown prince, he liked to sleep with her in his arms. I know this because once the princess had a nightmare, crying and making noises. I thought something serious happened, so I opened the door and came in to see the prince patting her. The princess' back, softly coaxing her to sleep.After coaxing her well, the prince gestured to me to close the door and go out.

I remembered that since the prince got married, he often felt shoulder pain and always asked the princess to rub it for him. Only then did I realize that the prince's shoulder pain was not pretending, but the princess was pressing it .

Not only did the Queen think the bed was too small, but it was also too hot, so she didn't want to share the bed with His Majesty, but His Majesty ignored her resistance, saying that the Tai Chi Palace was deserted, and he would not be able to sleep when he went back. A stable life will not be guaranteed.The empress is pure-hearted. After His Majesty said this, she really didn't drive him away.

The little prince was born in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. Because the little prince was born fat, the queen suffered a lot during childbirth. She didn't give birth all day and night. The mother-in-law said it was a dystocia.His Majesty was furious and refused to mention the word "difficult childbirth", and immediately ordered those stable women to be killed.

I have never seen His Majesty so furious, his face is ferocious, his whole face is almost distorted, if not for the order of the ancestors to hold him down, he would have drawn his sword and stabbed those stable women to death.The Wen women fainted from fright on the spot, and none of the palace people dared to vent their anger.

After being restrained by General Pei and a dozen guards, His Majesty finally calmed down a bit.He ordered the Queen of Medical Insurance not to mention the child.

The imperial doctor delivered the queen tremblingly, and the blood was poured down one after another.I saw that His Majesty's eyes were red. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the Queen's hand dejectedly, cheering her up with a hoarse voice, tears rolling down silently, dripping on the Queen's hand.No one dared to step forward to chase him, and no one dared to make a sound, not even the ancestors.

For half a day, the entire palace was shrouded in haze, and the queen finally gave birth to the little prince safely.The imperial physician said that luckily the queen was in good health, and if someone else had changed, she might have returned to hell.

The little prince was born beautiful, white and clean from the moment he was born, much better looking than children from ordinary families.But His Majesty didn't seem to like him, he just glanced at him, didn't give him a hug, and went to guard the queen.He guarded the empress all day without taking off his clothes, neither eating nor drinking, nor talking, silent, ignoring anyone, not even going to the court, and the ministers waited in the court all day, no one dare not leave.

The Queen woke up after a day of coma.The moment she opened her eyes, His Majesty wept with joy, and immediately shouted for the imperial doctor, and told me to bring the little prince to the queen.

The queen was injured during childbirth, and it took two months of recuperation before she recovered.During this period of time, His Majesty cleaned up the entire central palace. He seemed worried about anyone, thinking that there was a ghost in the central palace, which almost killed the queen.

After such a great turmoil, several people were actually caught and interrogated by His Majesty himself. They couldn't stand the heavy punishment and confessed their crimes.They claimed to be members of the Gao family, and they had been lurking in the palace more than ten years ago. Seeing the Gao family's loss of power, they felt that there was a bad breath in their hearts, and they dared not take action against His Majesty, so they took advantage of the Queen's delivery to obstruct it.

These few people were executed in the end, and the number of maids and eunuchs in the central palace was cut by half by His Majesty, leaving only a dozen or so people.

The queen does not know about this matter, and His Majesty will not allow it to be revealed.When the queen asked, I just said that His Majesty doesn't like crowds, just think it's enough.The queen probably believed it, and didn't ask about it again.

The little prince grew up day by day, he was carved in powder and jade, just like a miniature version of His Majesty, but he liked to laugh more, whenever he was teased, no one in the palace didn't like him.Except, of course, Your Majesty.

When the little prince was two years old, His Majesty only hugged him a few times.The queen especially likes to hug the little prince, and she is unwilling to let go of her when she holds her. For this reason, His Majesty has been angry with the little prince, causing the queen to say that he is stingy all day long.

Probably because His Majesty was not close to the little prince, the little prince never called him "Father Emperor" when he was two years old, but he started calling "Mother Queen" when he was ten months old.

"The more you coax Archie and play with him, he will call you." The Queen said in front of His Majesty more than once.Archie is the nickname of the little prince, and His Majesty personally took it. His Majesty said that the queen was a miracle of his fate, so he named their child Archie.

His Majesty probably listened to the Queen's words, and stopped being stern to His Royal Highness Archie, and often hugged him to ride horses and swing.His Royal Highness Archie likes horseback riding and swinging. Every time His Majesty takes him with him, he giggles non-stop, and the entire central palace is full of his laughter.

His Majesty probably found a way to get along with His Royal Highness Archie, and often took him and the Queen to play together as soon as he came to court. His Royal Highness Archie also got closer and closer to His Majesty, and called "Father Emperor" very crisply.

When His Royal Highness Archie was three years old, the Queen was pregnant again, and His Majesty's son was thin. The whole court was very happy about this, and hoped that the Queen would give birth to a prince again.His Majesty was not very happy when he heard about this, because after the Queen gave birth to His Royal Highness Archie, he has been avoiding his son.

The queen is naturally happy. She likes the lively feeling of a big family and hopes that His Majesty will have sons and daughters. She still wants to have three children, but His Majesty was frightened when she gave birth for the first time. In order to keep the baby in her womb, she had a big fight with His Majesty, and she didn't say a word to His Majesty for three whole days.

His Majesty finally compromised.

The queen was pregnant this time, and she was very sick. She couldn't eat for several months and lost a lot of weight. Her majesty asked the imperial doctor to think of countless methods, but nothing worked.After five months, the situation finally got better.Although the pregnancy was difficult, the delivery went smoothly. One day in June, the queen gave birth to the little princess.

The little princess was also born extremely beautiful, with round eyes and fair skin, she was almost carved out of the same mold as the queen.His Majesty was overjoyed and named it "Tianci", which shows his love for the little princess.

Princess Tianci has a lively personality. When she was born, she laughed instead of crying. When His Majesty took her from Mrs. Wen, she giggled and smiled at His Majesty. His Majesty's heart melted, and he also laughed, hugging her. The little princess refused to let go.

His Majesty's favored daughter is known all over the world, but he is diligent and manages the government well. Although the ministers are good, they dare not say anything.

Princess Tianci grew up day by day, her temper became more and more naughty, and she often got into trouble.When the queen wanted to punish her, she stretched out her short hand, ran towards His Majesty, hid in His Majesty's arms, and then began to complain: "Father, Queen Mother wants to beat me."

His Majesty always hugged Princess Tianci, and said to the Queen with a smile on his face: "She is still young, don't scare her."

At this time, Princess Tianci would sit in His Majesty's arms and nod wildly, "Yes, yes, Queen Mother, I am still young."

When the queen saw their father and daughter singing together, she laughed out of anger and had no choice.

The relationship between Princess Tianci and His Royal Highness Archie is also very good. They often play together, catching bugs, playing with mud, climbing trees to pick fruits, and often getting dirty. I made it dirty myself, the princess was taught by the queen to climb trees.

His Majesty loves to be clean, and often scolded the three of them together, and had to wash them off one by one, so that his complexion would be better.

After the queen gave birth, her temperament became more and more like a child's. She loved to play with all kinds of things, and often forgot about her majesty.His Majesty was very angry about this.But the empress had figured out His Majesty's temper long ago, and first asked Princess Tianci to coax him, and then let it go when she was well coaxed, and then went into battle in person if she couldn't coax him well.

In most cases, it can be coaxed well, but if the queen looks at any guard more than once, Princess Tianci can't coax Her Majesty well, and the queen has to come in person.The Queen's method of coaxing His Majesty is simple and rude, that is, kiss once and hug her, if one kiss is not enough, then two or three times, if His Majesty can't stand it, he will forcefully kiss back, and then the red candles will warm the room, and the room will be full of spring... …

The queen wanted to have another child, but His Majesty refused. He always said that His Royal Highness Archie and Princess Tianci were too naughty, which gave him a headache.Although he loved the two children, he sometimes felt that they took up too much of the Empress's time, and he couldn't be alone with her.

When the queen heard him say this, she always laughed at him, saying that he was so old that he actually competed with the child for favor, and her majesty also laughed, saying that he just wanted to fight for the rest of his life, but the queen just laughed when she heard it.

His Majesty was determined not to accept his concubine and no longer wanted an heir, so the officials naturally refused to agree, but the ancestors didn't care about it. The Supreme Emperor died when Princess Tianci was two years old, so no one can control His Majesty.

In this way, the ministers fought with His Majesty for most of their lives. They are old, and His Majesty is also old. The government has been handed over to His Highness Archie, and the concubine and the third child are still there.
