Consort Zhanzhao

That night, many people in the palace did not sleep well, but Renzong was not among them.

Early the next morning, Wu Chengye brought the imperial physician and the emperor's oral instructions to Concubine Pang's Huayang Palace.When the imperial physician finished his pulse diagnosis and confirmed that Concubine Pang Gui was indeed pregnant for more than a month, Wu Chengye read out the emperor's oral order.

Huaying Yuezhang died, Pang Guifei was demoted to concubine, and her feet were grounded until she gave birth.

Wu Chengye didn't care about Concubine Pang Gui who was crying like pear blossoms and rain—by ​​the way, she is Concubine Pang now—and asked someone to drag Hua Yingyue away.

Although Concubine Pang still has one in her belly, Wu Chengye has been serving the emperor all these years, and the ups and downs in the concubine's palace can make up more than a dozen tables of mahjong, but she was demoted while pregnant She is still the first.

So according to Wu Chengye's deduction, she was completely screwed.

"You eunuch!" Concubine Pang held her unrecognizable belly with one hand, pointed at Wu Chengye with the other and cursed, "You wait for me! When I give birth to a baby, I will kill you!" !"

Wu Chengye followed the emperor to the Empress Dowager's Palace yesterday. After the emperor came out, he vaguely mentioned that the child would be raised by the Empress Dowager, and ordered Wu Chengye to prepare it. Therefore, Wu Chengye was completely expressionless about Pang Concubine's words.

"I'm waiting." The eunuch's voice was already thin, but he added a little smile, which sounded even more vicious.

It's not that he doesn't want to irritate Concubine Pang anymore, but what the emperor told him yesterday, he will sell today.Furthermore, if Concubine Pang got emotional after hearing this and treated the child badly, then he would be to blame.

It’s just that Wu Chengye was still not reconciled, he bent down and reached into Concubine Pang’s ear, “I’m going to escape the summer heat next month, your position has already been taken by Concubine Jing.” After speaking, Wu Chengye straightened up, “Your Majesty is still very favored, The empress dowager stays in the palace specially for you. Take care, empress dowager."

After finishing speaking, Wu Chengye said sharply: "Take it away! Take it all away!"

"By the way," he turned around again, and said, "Your Majesty ordered some honest and hardworking maids and eunuchs to be replaced in the palace, but there are not so many manpower in the palace. Be in a hurry, when you have a good one, I will replace it for you."

"Get lost!" Concubine Pang yelled, pointing at the door, but she felt chest tightness in a hurry, and even her stomach hurt a little, so she hurriedly stopped her voice and asked the new maid to help her up.

When Wu Chengye walked out of the palace gate, Concubine Pang said angrily: "Wait for my father... I will wait!"

As the second person in the palace, Concubine Pang's liveliness resounded through the six palaces within half a day, some were laughing and some were crying.

Concubine Jing offered incense to the portrait of Patriarch Sanqing, shed tears and said silently: "Although I wake up late, but...it's not too late."

The palace maid Duo'er stepped forward to help Concubine Jing up, and said: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your legs."

Concubine Jing patted her arm to comfort her, and said, "I'm not going to take you with me this time to escape the summer heat."

Duo'er was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything.

"You stay in the palace." Concubine Jing sat down slowly, "Your Majesty will take the group of people from Kaifeng Mansion with you when you go to escape the summer heat, and I estimate that this summer escape will take at least one month to come back. You see that people leave almost Yes, let's go out of the palace."

Duo'er narrowed her eyes, waiting for Concubine Jing to continue.

Concubine Jing picked up the tea, took a couple of sips gracefully, and said, "Take away his family members cleanly, without leaving the beginning and the end. Although... But after much deliberation, the dead are the safest."

Duo Er said yes.

Concubine Jing lifted the red cloth, and there was a pile of folded ingots underneath. She squinted her eyes and looked at the sky.

"Promise your family's silver... I have already folded it, so I will burn it to them first."

Saying that, Duo'er stepped forward to hold the large pile of ingots, and Concubine Jing went to the room where the Patriarch Sanqing was enshrined.

Not two days later, just after entering July, Renzong issued an imperial decree, making Zhao Xuan King of Wei.

Although she knew that her father was only such a son, sooner or later she would be crowned prince and succeed to the throne, but she was also very happy to see that her brother was one step closer to the throne.

The succession of the emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty probably went through several steps.

First make a county king, then make a king, and then maybe add some official positions, and then make a few more thrones, and change the name at the same time when you make a prince, from a three-letter name to a two-letter name.

Putting it on Zhao Xuan, although he has not been crowned prince yet, his name has already been changed to a two-character name.

This time another prince was added, and Zhao Bijia couldn't help congratulating her mother and concubine with a venomous tongue, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank Concubine Pang, otherwise Xuan'er would not have been named a prince so soon."

Concubine Zhang Guifei glared at her, but the upturned corners of her mouth had already revealed her thoughts, and the words she said were not intimidating at all, "How do you speak, that is also your elder."

He just laughed after he finished speaking, "Tomorrow we will go to escape the summer heat, there is probably not enough ice in the palace, so send some to her."

"Don't," Zhao Bijia hurriedly stopped her mother, "Her stomach—don't give away anything that can affect her stomach if I say it can be eaten or drank."

Concubine Zhang immediately lost her interest. If she wanted to say that she was going to show off, but her daughter was right, "Oh, I'm always unwilling to do so many things she has done."

Although Concubine Zhang has been favored for so many years, the power of the Pang family should not be underestimated. It was so easy for her to kill herself, and she couldn't show her face to show her contempt. Thinking about it, even Zhao Bijia felt uncomfortable.

With her daughter's persuasion, Concubine Zhang Gui still felt uncomfortable, but to be on the safe side, she didn't go to see Concubine Pang alone, but called three or five concubines together, with someone as companion and witness, and left after putting down her things. Not a word of nonsense.

It surprised those who were familiar with Concubine Zhang, when can she bear it?

You must know that this one has overthrown the first queen. If she hadn't been born badly, there would be nothing wrong with the current queen.

Even the current empress didn't dare to speak loudly when she saw her, for fear that she would lose her name as an empress who didn't deserve her name. Anyway, it was not the first time for Concubine Zhang Guifei to overthrow an empress, and she was very skilled.

The only one in the palace who can barely compete with Concubine Zhang Guifei is Concubine Pang, by the way... now she is Concubine Pang.It's just that Concubine Zhang Guifei has a son and a daughter under her knees, and she is the only son of the emperor. She is definitely the empress dowager. In front of such a winner in life, none of the concubines in the palace dare to shake face with her.

There is only Concubine Pang, but there are more losses than victories.

So seeing this opportunity, why didn't Concubine Zhang Gui show off her might?Many concubines in the palace were secretly looking forward to things getting bigger, for example, under Zhang Guifei's stern words, something happened to the child in Pang Fei's belly, and the two giants died together.

It's just that Concubine Zhang Gui went there once and said three sentences in total.

"It's a great blessing that my sister is pregnant."

"Sister eats and sleeps well, raises the dragon fetus well."

"It's getting late, my sister is leaving now."

It really disappointed a group of people who eat melons.

After working overtime for two days, Renzong temporarily cleaned up the government affairs, and took a group of concubines and a group of sons and daughters, and set foot on the road to the summer resort.

The Summer Resort was built at the foot of the mountain, not far from the outskirts of Beijing. If a martial arts master like Zhan Zhao worked fast and set off in the morning, he would still be able to catch dinner when he arrived.However, the emperor traveled in a carriage, and in some places he had to change to a sedan chair carried by manpower. This day's journey was stretched into three days.
