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

Jiang Shiying said: "Are you thinking of choosing an adoptive mother for the fifth prince?"

The Queen Mother frowned and nodded: "It's not that easy to choose a suitable adoptive mother."

Before any conclusion could be reached on this matter, someone from the palace came into the palace to send a message, saying that Concubine Qian and Concubine Zhen wanted to see them.

By the time the two concubines came in, the Queen Mother and Jiang Shiying had already changed the topic and started talking about the new ninth prince born to the imperial concubine.

Concubine Qian echoed with a smile on her face: "Everything has been good in the palace in the past two years. There have been three princes."

Concubine Zhen looked at Jiang Shiying and said, "It's been more than half a year since Concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth prince. In a few days, there may be good news again."

Jiang Shiying took a sip of tea and simply said, "I'd like to lend you your kind words."

Concubine Qian, who was opposite, chuckled lightly and said, "Sister Zhen, I'm afraid it will take a long time for me to live."

Concubine Zhen looked puzzled: "How did you say this?"

Isn’t Concubine Chen the most favored? If she is favored more, good news will naturally come.

Concubine Qian said: "I heard that Concubine Chen was injured when she gave birth to the eighth prince, and she should not be pregnant in recent years."

Upon hearing this, without waiting for Jiang Shiying to say anything, the Queen Mother said: "You are quite well-informed."

As she spoke, her eyes turned cold and fell on Concubine Qian.

Concubine Qian's heart trembled, and then she remembered that in addition to His Majesty's favor, Concubine Chen also had the Queen Mother as her backer. And these concubines and concubines all have to rely on the Queen Mother to make a living in the palace.

She said after careful consideration: "I also care about His Majesty's heirs."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said nothing more.

After returning to Jingyang Palace, Qiu Yu helped Jiang Shiying change her clothes while frowning and saying, "How did Concubine Qian know that you were injured during childbirth and would not be able to get pregnant within a few years?"

After Jiang Shiying gave birth, when Zhao Yuanshi checked her pulse, there was not a single concubine in the delivery room.

Zhao Yuanshi is tight-lipped and will not let this matter out.

It was even more impossible for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to tell Concubine Qian about this.

The rest of the people still in the delivery room were the palace servants of their Jingyang Palace, as well as those serving the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Could it be that someone here has been bribed?

Jiang Shiying looked at her tangled look and said nonchalantly: "You forgot, the stable women hadn't left the delivery room yet."

Qiu Yu suddenly realized and muttered: "These steady women are too talkative."

Jiang Shiying said: "They are not from our Jingyang Palace."

Naturally, he will not keep any secrets for Jingyang Palace.

As long as someone lures you with gold and silver, what can't these stable women say?

I'm afraid many concubines in the harem knew that she was injured during childbirth.

It's just that her holy family is solemn and no one dares to mention this matter in front of her.

Concubine Qian, on the other hand, if she hadn't stepped forward so boldly today, Jiang Shiying would have almost forgotten what happened with Aunt Ji.

Since Concubine Qian acted first, don't blame her for taking revenge.

However, it is not difficult to teach Concubine Qian a lesson, but it is really not interesting. When fighting a snake, it is better to hit it within seven inches.

Thinking like this, Jiang Shiying said: "Go and call A Yuan to come in."

···

Two days later, before there was any progress in Princess Qian's affairs, I heard that the fifth prince who lived in Shoukang Palace was ill.

Knowing this, Jiang Shiying should go and see him just to save face.

She went there with Lu Zhaolin before dinner.

The fifth prince was lying on the bed, his little face burning red.

Seeing them in a daze, he forced a smile on his lips: "Father and Concubine Chen are here."

Lu Zhaolin touched his forehead and asked, "How do you feel now?"

The fifth prince's face wrinkled into a ball, with tears filling his eyelashes: "Xiao'er feels uncomfortable."

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhaolin felt very distressed.

He sat on the edge of the bed and coaxed the fifth prince very gently and patiently.

Jiang Shiying stood on the side and said a few words in agreement, such as a good life and a good life.

When the two were about to leave, the fifth prince suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Shiying's sleeve.

Jiang Shiying stopped and looked at the fifth prince: "Is there anything else Xiaoer can do?"

The fifth prince looked at her eagerly: "Concubine Chen, can you give Xiaoer a hug?"

Jiang Shiying was naturally unwilling in her heart, but Lu Zhaolin was still watching from the side. With a smile on her face, she leaned down slightly, hugged the fifth prince in her arms, and said softly: "Of course it's okay."

When she let go of her embrace, the fifth prince looked full of attachment: "Thank you, Concubine Chen."

After coming out of the fifth prince's room, the two of them had dinner with the Queen Mother at Shoukang Palace, and then walked together to Jingyang Palace.

The palace hall was silent for a long time. Suddenly, Lu Zhaolin was heard asking: "Ah Ying, are you willing to keep Xiao'er under your knees?"

He mentioned this matter once more than a year ago, but Jiang Shiying rejected it.

Now that I mention it again, on the one hand, there are really no good candidates. On the other hand, I also saw the fifth prince's attachment to Jiang Shiying today, and felt a little sigh in my heart.

Jiang Shiying shook her head: "I don't want to."

Lu Zhaolin let out a long sigh, not surprised by the answer. But in his heart, he still hoped that she would agree, so he persuaded her, "Xiao'er likes you very much."

Jiang Shiying pulled him to a stop, Lu Zhaolin turned around, and their eyes met.

Her expression was serious: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't like Xiao'er, it's just that I can't spare the time and energy."

Lu Zhaolin said: "Xiao'er is a sensible child and will not cause trouble for you."

Jiang Shiying covered his mouth with one hand and said: "Ah Ying still has Ping An to take care of. Ping An has been weak since he was born. After raising him for more than half a year, he finally gained some weight. Ah Ying was hung up day and night. He has a heart, for fear that if he doesn’t take good care of him, he will——”

Speaking of this, there was a rare hint of choking in her voice.

Lu Zhaolin stretched out his arms, held her in his arms, and comforted her: "Okay, okay, I won't say this again. Just take care of her and keep her safe."

The spring shirt was thin, and after a while, he felt wet on his chest.

Lu Zhaolin felt even more guilty.

The reason why Ping An was born prematurely and was weak was because of his father.

Today, he was thinking of putting the fifth prince in Jingyang Palace and letting Ah Ying take care of him. It's really unfair to Ping An.

That night.

After the clouds and rain passed, Lu Zhaolin fell into a deep sleep tiredly.

Jiang Shiying was not sleepy, she turned over lightly, threw on some clothes and left the bedroom.

Guarding outside the palace gate were Yao Xingde and A Yuan.

Seeing her coming out, the two of them quickly saluted.

"Shhh" Jiang Shiying gently raised her finger to her lips: "Keep your voice down, your majesty is asleep."

"What orders do you have, Madam?" Yao Xingde asked in a low voice.

Jiang Shiying said: "I can't sleep and want to admire the moon. Just follow me, Ah Yuan."

Yao Xingde bowed and watched the two of them walking outside into the courtyard.
