Chapter 41 Chapter 41
From the beginning of the banquet, the queen has been keeping a close eye on Wang Meiren.
Wu Junyi may not understand Wang Meiren's actions, but the queen has stayed in the harem for many years, and she can see Wang Meiren's wishful thinking at a glance: His Majesty will be overjoyed if she is diagnosed with pregnancy on Wanshou Festival, and maybe she will be promoted single digits.And if she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, she would have already won the favor of Emperor Jianning in her infancy, and maybe she had other plans.
The queen had no intention of exposing it, but just ordered the maid in advance to replace all the dishes on Wang Meiren's table with light and palatable ones, not irritating.In addition to paying attention to diet, the surrounding maids also confessed that this person must not be bumped.
It was her business that Wang Meiren was willing to take the risk of concealing her pregnancy, but if she made a mistake at the palace banquet, the queen would not be able to bear it.
So when the palace banquet just started, Wang Meiren suddenly retched, the queen felt a sense of relief, and calmly announced: "Wang Meiren is not feeling well, you can go to the side hall to rest for a while, Xuan imperial physician will come to treat you."
Wang Meiren and the queen have both greeted the imperial hospital, and the imperial doctor has already made preparations early, and only waits for the queen to call.
The palace maid helped up the weak beauty Wang and walked towards the side hall.The concubines around her realized something, and all cast envious expressions.How could her life be so good!
No matter when, the birth of an emperor's heir is always a happy event, not to mention the weak breath of Emperor Jianning, the palace has been silent for a long time and just needs a new life to break the deadlock.
It's just that the queen didn't expect that, paying attention to this one, she almost ignored the other one.
Wang Meiren colluded with Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Zhao, whom the Queen ordered in advance, took the eunuchs and maids in together, and then came out together. Just as Imperial Physician Zhang was about to speak, Imperial Physician Zhao suddenly said: "Excuse me for your impoliteness, Mrs. Zhang, may I ask for a safe pulse by the way?" ?”
The queen looked at Zhang Jieyu in surprise, and Zhang Jieyu seemed to be absent-minded for a while, and then looked at the queen.
The Queen nodded.The palace maid immediately supported Zhang Jieyu.
"Thank you." Zhang Jieyu walked over with the maid to ask him to feel his pulse.
When Imperial Physician Zhao took the pulse, Imperial Physician Zhang looked restless.Unexpectedly, Imperial Physician Zhao took the pulse, knelt down immediately, and kowtowed to say good news: "Congratulations to Your Majesty and Empress Empress, both empresses are pregnant. And the pulse is stable, and the dragon's heir is in good health."
"Ms. Zhang's pregnancy is only more than a month. Before that, the pulse was faint, and I dared not speak. Now, I apologize to the empress."
Physician Zhang was stunned when he heard that this woman was also pregnant, but when she realized it and knelt down, she realized that she had already finished her words.
The queen was also taken aback.Zhang Jieyu has always been honest and responsible, and she is not very favored. She did not expect this to happen. "Where's Wang Meiren?"
Imperial Physician Zhao looked at Imperial Physician Zhang.
"Two...more than two months." Imperial Doctor Zhang hesitated when answering.
The empress understood that Zhang Jieyu's child seemed to be unwilling to publicize, not out of intention to flatter her. As for Wang Meiren, she already knew it and didn't want to say anything.
"This is a happy event, hurry up and report it to Your Majesty." The queen secretly pinched her mouth to refresh herself, and hurriedly asked someone to help Zhang Jieyu down to rest, let's all rest.The imperial physician went to prescribe anti-fetal medicine, and then sent them to their respective palaces to decoct the medicine.The manpower of the two palaces also needs to be replenished.There is no need to worry about Wen Potai Hospital, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs still needs to choose nurses, maids of honor, and foster mothers... Thinking of this, the queen can't help but feel a little dizzy.
Therefore, there was this one at the banquet in the front palace.
Wu Junyi held his breath for a moment when he heard the news, and then he realized that he just clenched his palms tightly with his fingers in his sleeves.It turned out that the Queen of Weidao wanted to greet him first.
As early as in the draft, Wu Junyi thought that he would have younger brothers and sisters, but it was inevitable to see his father so overjoyed and disappointed.
Wu Junyi stared down at the clear wine, and suddenly felt warmth on the back of his hand.
He turned his head in surprise, and saw the king of Chu calmly raised his glass and stepped forward, with his wide sleeves touching him inadvertently.
The King of Chu didn't look at him, but pressed his fingers on the back of his hand, then removed his sleeve, and gave him a suggestive glance.
"My son, congratulations to my father." Wu Junyi raised his wine cup and stood up, saying maturely.His eyes and voice were full of joy.
With the beginning of the prince, others also joined the congratulatory team.
Emperor Jianning also readily accepted and toasted again and again.The Daqi royal family has always had a difficult time with offspring. He is in his prime, and he has two more children, which undoubtedly proves himself.
After the banquet, Emperor Jianning visited the two pregnant concubines respectively, and bestowed countless treasures of calligraphy and paintings, and promised that there would be other rewards after the birth of the emperor, and stayed overnight in Changchun Palace.
At that time, the Changchun Palace favored the family members very much, and everyone in the world knew it.
After the Longevity Festival, the queen issued an edict, announcing ten girls to enter the palace.
In the blink of an eye, it was autumn again, and the draft was just held last year, and the empress did not order people into the palace casually.Even the girl from the queen's family was not called, the meaning of this is very intriguing.
Shen Yue was also among these ten people.Shen Tai was in office and he couldn't leave easily, so Chang Shi personally sent Lu and Shen Yue to Beijing.
When Shen Yue entered Beijing, her Mr. Chen followed her all the way.When Mr. Chen heard that Shen Yue was going to enter the palace, he took the time to teach her many etiquettes and taboos in the palace.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Shen He talked with his wife with a serious expression.
Shen Mu is still recovering from his illness, so in order not to worry him, Shen He did not let him know about it.Just ask someone to clean up the house for the niece and sister-in-law to live temporarily.
"Ms. Xuan's entry into the palace must be for marriage." Mrs. Song was born as an official, so she is very familiar with these things.
Shen He murmured: "The palace is old, and His Majesty needs to grant a marriage in person..." Now, there is only his younger brother, King Chu.
It seems that whether this trip to Beijing is a blessing or a curse is really hard to say.
"You haven't fixed it yet, and this time Yueniang came, and you have to take care of it again. I'm really sorry." Shen He couldn't hide his apology when talking to his wife in private.
Soon after her confinement, Mrs. Song began to take care of Shen Lin.Although I don't have to come in person for breastfeeding, but I still have to take care of the housework and take care of my son and nephew, which is inevitably exhausting.
"What are you talking about? This is what I should do." Song looked at her husband and smiled shyly.
"Yue Niang." Shen Yu smiled sincerely when she saw her younger sister.Shen Yue also smiled sweetly, and went forward to salute her uncle, aunt and elder brother.Between the manners, there is a bit more grandeur.
Shen He also saw it, and said with a smile: "It seems that the gentlemen who come out of the palace are different."
Mr. Chen saluted lightly, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Sister!" When Shen Qi saw her long-lost sister, she couldn't restrain her excitement and threw herself into her arms.
Shen Yue had always been concerned about this little brother, but when she was suddenly bumped into her arms by him, she realized that he had grown taller and sank, so she couldn't help but giggled, "San Lang, come down quickly, I can't hold you anymore."
After Shen He settled the family, he went on to teach the students.The sisters-in-law talk and the children reunite.
"You don't have to worry too much." After hearing her husband's speculation, Song comforted Lu in turn, "Don't say that our small family may not be selected, just say that if Yueniang is really blessed to be a princess, we will all be happy. where is your light?"
Seeing that his sister-in-law hadn't seen her for a few months, Lu's speech became much calmer, and she couldn't help feeling secretly that it was a lucky fate to give birth to a son like Yu Lang.She also gradually stretched her brows: "If it is true... then it is also the emperor's grace, so there is no way you can't refuse, but if you lose the election..."
"That's also the identity of the empress to praise Yue Niang. A girl who can be taught by the empress do not worry about finding a good one." Song teased.
Lu's also laughed, "Let's go, it's time to visit father."
When Shen Mu just fell ill, Shen He wrote letters to his younger brothers and sisters, and Mrs. Lu knew about the situation, but she was dragged by Mrs. Song before she could go out.Mrs. Song whispered: "Our lord hasn't told father about this. He is not in good health. The doctor told me not to get excited. If..."
If it made him happy first, Shen Yue would be defeated in the end, maybe her body would not be able to bear it.
Mrs. Lu also understood, so she nodded, and stopped mentioning this matter, and started talking with Mrs. Song. "You've only been confinement for a while, and I'm really sorry for bothering you."
"Where do you need me to bother, Yue Niang is very good with Mr. Chen, but it's just a matter of explaining to the servants." Song said it very easily.
Chen asked her to take her to meet her little nephew whom she had never met.
Not long after Shen Lin opened her eyes, she was sitting on the bed playing with her nurse, with a pair of bright black eyes staring at the rattle turning left and right.
"Ma'am." The wet nurse saw the two get up and move away, and Mrs. Lu hugged Shen Lin with her own hands.Shen Lin didn't recognize her birth, she generously let her hug her, and even held her fingers tightly.Lu couldn't help saying angrily: "What a strong, fat boy."
Song Shi also smiled gratifiedly.
On the other side, Shen Yue was asking Shen Yu. "Brother, you are in the Imperial College and are well-informed. Do you know that the empress chose me to enter the palace, is it for... marriage?"
A girl of her age would blush at the mention of these two words.
Shen Yu could also guess the queen's purpose, so she just nodded.
Shen Yue's ears were also completely red, she lowered her eyes, rubbed the little head of Shen Qi who was bewildered, and asked softly, "Is it... King Chu?"
Shen Yu nodded again.
Shen Yu hasn't contacted King Chu for a long time.He is a student, so he shouldn't have been in close contact with the prince.After confirming that the Yangma was useful, he never took the initiative to look for it again.Butler Zhao didn't look for him either.
"Don't worry..." Shen Yu racked her brains to find words to comfort her sister, but was interrupted by Shen Yue: "It's nothing, these things are not up to me."
This is the truth, but Shen Yu felt that his heart was hit hard, and it hurt suddenly.
The day of entering the palace is coming soon, Shen Yue got up early in the morning, and according to Mr. Chen's instructions, she changed into light yellow clothes that fit her age and status, combed her hair, and used a few pieces of simple and elegant jewelry that were not prohibited.
Then, the welcoming palace servants arrived at the gate of Shen's residence.
The queen has been busy running around recently because the two concubines in the harem are pregnant. Before meeting these girls, she was still busy directing the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select candidates.It was only after lunch at noon that she remembered this incident. She greeted Concubine Shu, who had been invited into the palace in advance, and signaled the maid to bring him in.
Among the girls summoned this time, some had participated in the draft and entered the palace, and some entered the palace for the first time, so they were taken to the side hall as soon as they came, and the maids explained the etiquette.Shen Yue was not old enough to miss the draft last year, but after being taught by Mr. Chen, her actions and manners are all in accordance with etiquette.The palace ladies were also paying attention secretly, and asked them to line up before leading people into the main hall.
The situation of teaching etiquette in the side hall has long been reported to the queen by the palace people.So a group of young ladies entered the palace with their heads bowed, and the queen immediately noticed the one standing in the middle who seemed to be leading.
"The one in the middle in light yellow clothes, what's your name, come forward and talk back."
