The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

The Queen Mother was a little surprised: "Oh? Xiao'er is a good boy, different from his mother. Moreover, he likes you very much, so you don't have to worry about raising him well. It would be a good thing if you can have a prince under your knees."

Jiang Shiying rested her head on the Queen Mother's shoulder and said, "Ah Ying knows. But on the one hand, Ah Ying is still a child herself, and suddenly she has to be the mother of a four or five-year-old child. In fact, she is a little worried and scared.

On the other hand, Ah Ying will always have her own biological heirs in the future, and it is difficult for Ah Ying to guarantee that a bowl of water will be balanced. At that time, I am afraid that both children will be harmed, and Ah Ying does not want this to happen. "

The Queen Mother could tell that she was speaking from her heart. Therefore, he patted her hand and said, "In that case, that's it."

She originally wanted to keep the fifth prince in Jingyang Palace. In her heart, this was a beneficial and harmless thing for both Jiang Shiying and the fifth prince.

But since Jiang Shiying is unwilling, there is no need to mention it again.

After another hour and a half, Aunt Qingshan knew that she had almost said everything that needed to be said in the main hall, so she came back with the fifth prince.

As soon as the fifth prince sat down, the maid sent a message: "To the Queen Mother, Concubine Li would like to see you."

The Queen Mother frowned. Of course she had also heard about Concubine Li's behavior these days and was very unhappy with her. She just said: "Let her go back. The Ai family is too lazy to see her."

At the gate of Shoukang Palace, Li Bin heard the words of the young palace maid and learned that she was rejected by the Queen Mother. She was angry in her heart, but she did not dare to show it on her face.

After another half an hour, Concubine Fang and Concubine Ning came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother shouted, and then asked: "Why don't you bring Jin'er and Xun'er?"

The fifth prince also looked up when he heard the names of his third and fourth brothers being mentioned.

Concubine Fang smiled and said, "Jin'er and Xun'er are playing in the imperial garden with their puppies."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fifth prince's eyes lit up.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Shiying knew that he must also want to play with the puppy, so she asked, "Xiao'er, do you want to go play with your brothers?"

"Is that okay?" The fifth prince looked at her with bright eyes full of desire.

Jiang Shiying deliberately teased him: "I have to ask your imperial grandmother about this matter."

The fifth prince looked at the queen mother again: "Grandma, can my grandson go?"

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing: "Go ahead, go ahead."

Jiang Shiying said: "Qiu Yu, you go with me and take the wet nurse and Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Pingzi with you."

Qiu Yu saluted with a "promise", put on the cotton cloak for the fifth prince, and then led the fifth prince out of the palace.

In the palace, Concubine Fang said: "The concubines were originally worried that Chun Zhaoyi had never given birth to a child before, so they might not know how to raise a child. Now it seems that Chun Zhaoyi and the fifth prince get along very well."

The Queen Mother nodded: "No."

After saying that, he gave Jiang Shiying an angry look.

Jiang Shiying smiled flatteringly at the Queen Mother.

Concubine Fang and Concubine Ning couldn't understand the quarrel between them, and they wisely didn't ask.

After a few people chatted for a long time, a young eunuch came to deliver a message.

"Report to the Queen Mother, report to the empresses, several princes are fighting in the imperial garden."

"What?" As soon as these words came out, several people in the hall were shocked.

Concubine Fang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "The three brothers have always gotten along well, why did they suddenly start fighting?"

The little eunuch said: "It's not the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince who are fighting, it's the three princes and the eldest prince who are fighting."

Jiang Shiying first said: "The eldest prince is six or seven years older than them, how could they fight together?"

Then he asked: "Where are they now?"

The young eunuch said: "I don't know the specific process. Several princes have been taken to Ganquan Palace by Eunuch Yao."

Jiang Shiying looked at the Queen Mother, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have to leave first."

After her, Concubine Fang and Concubine Ning also bowed and said goodbye.

But the Queen Mother shook her head: "The Ai family will go with you."

Ganquan Palace.

When he learned that the Queen Mother was here, Lu Zhaolin went out to greet her in person.

"Why did the Labor Queen come here in person?"

"All the grandchildren of the Ai family are fighting. Why don't you come and see for yourself?"

The second and sixth princes died young, and now the emperor's surviving sons are all kneeling in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I am here to attend." Jiang Shiying, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Ning all saluted.

Just as Lu Zhaolin shouted, Concubine Shu arrived.

In this way, the mothers and concubines of these princes have also arrived.

Jiang Shiying glanced at the princes kneeling in the palace. With such a sharp glance, she couldn't see where the fourth prince and the fifth prince were injured. What was more obvious were the bruises at the corners of the third prince's mouth, and the scratches on the clothes of the fourth and fifth princes.

At this time, the Queen Mother asked: "Who will tell the Ai family what is going on today?"

Lu Zhaolin had already asked about this matter before they arrived at Ganquan Palace.

He was about to instruct Yao Xingde to tell the story to the Queen Mother and several concubines when he heard the eldest prince say: "It's all my grandson's fault. He believed the rumors and said inappropriate words in front of his younger brother."

"Oh? What kind of rumor is it?" asked the Queen Mother.

The eldest prince said: "My grandson heard that Qi concubine was demoted to a commoner and was thrown into the cold palace, all because of Chun Zhaoyi. It was Chun Zhaoyi who wanted to take away the fifth brother."

After he finished speaking, he saw both the fourth prince and the fifth prince looking at him angrily.

The Queen Mother asked again: "Who did you hear such nonsense?"

The eldest prince said: "My grandson heard what the little eunuch in the palace said."

The Queen Mother said: "Pull down all the people who are serving the eldest prince, beat them fifty times each, and put them into Ye Ting."

The eldest prince said anxiously: "Royal Grandmother Rong Bing, my grandson did not listen to the people serving around him, but the ugly little eunuch in the palace."

"The people around you don't know how to advise, and they are not good." The Queen Mother said, then looked at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu, you are the biological mother of the eldest prince, it is up to you to choose a new group of people to serve him. .This time, we must choose some sensible people, do you understand?"

Concubine Shu bowed and said, "I obey my command."

The eldest prince still wanted to plead for mercy, but the queen mother asked him: "Did you say this in front of your fifth brother?"

The eldest prince lowered his head and said, "My grandson lost his sense in speaking."

The Queen Mother asked: "How did the fight start?"

This time, before the eldest prince could speak, the fifth prince said: "Eldest brother said that Concubine Chun had harmed my concubine and wanted to take me away. I didn't believe it, so eldest brother said that I was a thief and my mother. Fourth brother and I both I was angry with the eldest brother for slandering the pure mother concubine, but we couldn't beat the eldest brother, so we had to bite his hand, and then the eldest brother kicked the fourth brother and me down. The third brother fought with the eldest brother to protect us."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying looked at the palace people kneeling in the corner: "Qiu Yu, I asked you to take care of the fifth prince. Is this how you take care of him?"

Before Qiu Yu could speak, she heard the fifth prince say: "I don't blame Sister Qiu Yu. It was the elder brother who said that he would take care of us and ask the slaves to stay away."

The Queen Mother looked at the eldest prince: "Is this how you take care of your brothers?"

The eldest prince quickly admitted his mistake: "It was the grandson's fault, but the fourth and fifth brothers bit him on the hand. The grandson was in pain for a moment, so he accidentally kicked the fourth and fifth brothers down."

The Queen Mother remained silent.

Concubine Shu took a step forward, knelt on the ground and said, "I am a concubine who has not been strict in raising my son. Please, Your Majesty, please punish me, the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother glanced at her, then looked at Lu Zhaolin and said, "The emperor is looking at it, how should I punish him for this?"

Lu Zhaolin said: "Concubine Shu is not strict in educating her children, so she will be fined one year's salary."

Concubine Shu said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Then, Lu Zhaolin asked: "You are the eldest prince's concubine. In your opinion, how should he be punished for not being friendly to his younger brother?"

The eldest prince was overjoyed and felt that his mother-in-law would definitely protect him.

However, after he finished listening to Concubine Shu's words, he broke out in a cold sweat and felt that his heart was freezing.

I saw Concubine Shu kneeling on the ground. She kowtowed first, and then said: "I heard that Prince Rui's line of descendants has withered away, and there is no successor. I kindly ask Your Majesty to adopt the eldest prince to Prince Rui."
