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

Concubine De was speechless.

The third prince continued: "Mr. Yan is right, the son is more than honest and honest, but lacks wit. Even if the father wanted to give it to his son, the son would not dare to take it. But the eighth brother is different. At such a young age, no matter how much knowledge he has, He is the best among the brothers in terms of conduct and conduct. Although I am stupid, I can still see that my eighth brother is really a talented person. My father and Mr. Yan both chose my eighth brother, and I am convinced."

After saying that, without waiting for Concubine De's reaction, he directly asked the young eunuch beside him to ask for the imperial doctor.

At this time, in Jingren Palace, a very different scene was also playing out between Concubine Ning and the fourth prince.

Like Concubine De, Concubine Ning's discomfort was mostly caused by a mental illness, but in fact, she was fine physically.

But after seeing the fourth prince's attitude that "only the eighth brother is worthy of the position of prince", Concubine Ning really felt that her heart began to hurt.

The next day, after the greetings at Fengyi Palace were over.

All the concubines dispersed, but the imperial concubine remained.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Shiying guessed that she probably had something to say, so she took the others to sit in the flower hall at the back.

As soon as she sat down, the imperial concubine spoke.

"I heard that Concubine De sent a doctor to the imperial concubine yesterday." At this point, she paused and added: "When I look at Concubine Ning today, she seems to have put on a lot of powder."

These words were a reminder to Jiang Shiying that both of them were probably unhappy about being established as prince for Ping An's sake. Only then did one feel unwell, and the other's eyes were black and blue.

This situation suddenly reminded Jiang Shiying that a few years ago, when she gave birth to Ping An, the concubine who was the Jade Concubine at the time came to remind her that Concubine Ning had a close relationship with the Queen at that time.

Thinking of this, she smiled on her lips: "The weather has been hot and cold these days. I guess I caught a cold accidentally. The imperial concubine should also take care of herself."

The imperial concubine was a little surprised at first, but after meeting her eyes, she suddenly realized that the little thoughts of Concubine De and Concubine Ning had probably been noticed by the queen.

Since the queen knew what was going on, there was no need for her to say anything more. She sat down for a while and then left.

Jiang Shiying sat on the soft couch, slowly drank a cup of honeydew, and then said, "Pass the meal around."

Even if she didn't tell her exactly what Concubine De and Concubine Ning were thinking, she could at least guess it.

It's nothing more than the position of crown prince.

Among the women in this palace, who has a prince at their knees, who doesn’t have that thought in their mind?

If the imperial concubine's tenth prince wasn't born with that appearance, she would have fought for it.

It's okay to have this thought. She held it back in her heart, so Jiang Shiying wouldn't do anything to them.

But if she couldn't hold it back for a moment and stretched out her hand, don't blame her for chopping off all those restless claws.

This was generally the case with the turmoil that arose in the harem of the previous dynasty due to the establishment of the crown prince.

Let’s talk about the people of Jin Dynasty at this time.

What Prince Jing said in the court that day was spread out for some unknown reason.

The common people originally only knew that there was an eighth prince under his successor's knees, and this eighth prince was established as the crown prince.

They had no idea whether the prince was round or flat or what his temperament was.

When King Jing's words came out, someone suddenly remembered: "It turns out that your Majesty's new crown prince is that young highness!"

At first, for the sake of the food given by His Majesty and Concubine Chen, they said good things and wished the young Highness a long and healthy life.

Is it possible that God really heard these words?

Speaking of which, His Highness the Crown Prince has quite a connection with ordinary people like them!

In this way, the people of Jin Dynasty developed a close and favorable impression of the prince.

It didn't take long for this matter to reach Jiang Shiying's ears.

Qiu Yu's face was filled with joy: "Our Highness has just ascended to the throne, and he is so supported by the people. This is a great thing!"

Jiang Shiying frowned: "Now that the father is strong and the son is weak, the father is kind and the son is filial, it is naturally a good thing for the people to support the prince. But if one day -"

If one day, His Majesty grows old, and Ping An grows stronger day by day, facing such a prince who is quite popular among the people and seems to be "blessed by God", can His Majesty really not mind at all?

I just hope that this day will never come.

Or, wait until she is fully prepared before coming back.

···

Ten years later.

The summer of the 25th year of Yongxing began with crying.

In the first month of the year, the Chinese New Year had just passed and the seal had not yet been opened by the previous dynasty, the Queen Mother accidentally contracted the cold.

This is just the beginning.

Soon, the Queen Mother fell ill.

The doctors in the Imperial Hospital, headed by Fang Yuanshi, scratched their bald heads and exhausted all kinds of rare medicinal materials, but they could only wait until the end of May.

On the last day of May, at night, the Queen Mother passed away.

At that time, the emperor and empress, Prince Jing, the prince, and the other princes and princesses all stood guard in front of the queen mother's bed.

Jiang Shiying heard the Queen Mother say with her own ears: "You came to pick me up?"

Then, he saw a smile on her face and slowly closed her eyes.

Lu Zhaolin was silent for a long time, and then he tremblingly stretched out his hand to detect the Queen Mother's breathing. After that, he struggled to utter a few words: "The Queen Mother is dead."

Jiang Shiying had already had a premonition in her heart, but when she actually heard these words, she still felt a lump in her throat and her breathing was stagnant.

Then, tears burst into her eyes, and Jiang Shiying cried until she fainted.

When she woke up, she still had to hold back the grief in her heart and carefully arrange the funeral ceremony for the Queen Mother.

Lu Zhaolin is the Queen Mother's own son. He grew up under the Queen Mother's knees since he was a child. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the relationship between mother and son.

From that day on, no matter who tried to persuade him, he refused to leave the Queen Mother's presence.

This matter spread to the previous dynasty and the people. Some people praised him for his pure filial piety, but some people secretly slandered him. Two years ago, when his mother, the Empress Dowager, passed away in the palace in Jiutai Mountain, His Majesty was not like this.

Of course, you can only think about this in your heart. Who dares to say it out loud?

Let’s talk about the Queen Mother’s presence.

As an emperor, Lu Zhaolin kept vigil for the Queen Mother day and night. Naturally, the princes of the clan and the princes also had to act like filial sons and virtuous grandchildren and did not dare to slack off.

Jiang Shiying was not afraid of anything else. She was only worried that Ping An's newly healed body would not be able to bear it.

She thought again and again, ordered someone to boil a bowl of ginseng soup, and delivered it to the funeral in person.

Lu Zhaolin refused to drink.

Jiang Shiying frowned and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, are you doing this to make your mother's spirit in heaven uneasy?"

When Lu Zhaolin heard this, he turned to look at her.

Jiang Shiying handed the bowl of ginseng soup to him: "The hair and skin of your body are received by your parents, and you dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety."

Lu Zhaolin was silent for a moment, then took the bowl and drank it all.

Yao Xingde took the empty bowl and was about to ask someone to take it away when he listened to his instructions: "Let me make ginseng soup every day. The princes and princes will each have a bowl."

The royal princes and princes kneeling behind him kowtowed and said "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty" in their mouths, but in their hearts they were grateful to the queen Jiang Shiying.

If it hadn't been for the empress's persuasion, Your Majesty would have wanted to stop drinking water and rice, so why would he care about their life and death?
