Chapter 490

…… The donation went on smoothly. When the rich businessmen in Beijing heard that this was the meaning of the Duke of Qin, they all expressed it whether they were willing or not.

Xue Chang personally presided over and raised enough food and grass for the Western army before the end of March. During this period, the news of Shazhou even spread. The city of Shazhou and a series of towns and fortresses after it were lost one after another. Even the city of Wangcheng was in danger.

Before Xue Chang and Yi Taizhang, let chaoye know that the two so-called Xiongguan after Wangcheng were ruined by the guard of Gu family. That is to say, if Wangcheng can't be defended, it's hard for Ximan to be kept out of Xiangzhou.

Xiangzhou, a place with dense population and goods circulation, should belong to Zhongzhou, but administratively it has been divided into Shangzhou: the reason is very simple, the tomb of the ancestors of the DARUI royal family was built in Xiangzhou.

In fact, the Sangzi of the Chu family is not in Xiangzhou. The reason why the cemetery was chosen there is that the ancestors of the Chu family found a treasure land of geomancy there, which is said to be able to shade the great wealth of future generations.

It can be imagined that after the establishment of Darui, the Chu family believed this. Although it is said that the Fengshui treasure land is limited and inconvenient to build the imperial mausoleum, all the great Rui princes from Rui Taizu can not be buried in the past, but it has also been greatly repaired and guarded by the forbidden army, which attaches great importance to it.

In the Xiangzhou rebellion of Emperor Gaozong, although Ximan was stopped by Chu's mausoleum, Emperor Gaozong still beat his heart and beat his feet to punish the general of Zhenxi army at that time. This is also the reason why Duke Qin let Qiu Jinglan take over the Zhenxi army and defend Xiangzhou in any way.

After all, winning or losing is a common business of soldiers, but it's not so easy to get rid of the accusation of disturbing the spirits of the ancestors of the royal family of Darui. Qiujinglan wants to let Ximan hang the Chu family's ancestral tomb in Xiangzhou. No one can help him talk in the wild!

In a word, after checking the accounts with Xue Chang, Empress Dowager Jiang sent people to escort west Xinjiang quickly, lest the war be delayed!

"If there is no accident, there should be no problem after the autumn harvest!" After the food and grass were sent away, Empress Dowager Jiang was relieved and hurriedly cared about the life of her own daughter. "Yongfu is going down next month. How are things going?"

As Jiang Huizhi predicted, Xin Fubing was released by the Empress Dowager Jiang a few days ago for the reason that "the long princess will descend, and no one will be in charge of the harem". At this moment, Wen Yan reported: "according to the regulations that your majesty discussed with your cousin 19 in the past, they have been prepared!"

I'll tell empress dowager Jiang the same.

Jiang taihou listens to while nodding, smile way: "you work, mourning is at ease."

The Queen's face was slightly red: "my daughter-in-law had been in the palace of beque before, which is mostly done by your majesty. Only in these days will it be handed over to my daughter-in-law! "

"Husband and wife, he does not do the same as you do?" The Empress Dowager joked and called Chu Shao, who was leaning on the empress's lap, "I haven't seen her for several days. Come and have a good look at her!"

In name, Chu Shao, the three-year-old prince who is not yet two years old, can walk and talk, but he is not very steady and his words are not very clear. With the encouragement of his mother, he threw himself into the arms of the Empress Dowager Jiang with small fat legs, and called out "grandma Huang" softly, which led the Empress Dowager Jiang to hug him to his knees and kiss him.

Such a time of harmony was not long interrupted by a message: "Princess Jiang just got sick. Please have a look at it. It's the way!"

Jiang taihou, who was feeding Chu Shao a snack, looked at the queen, but saw a trace of loneliness on her face, and then a gentle smile came out: "this is really good news!" Then she said to the empress dowager, "congratulations to her mother, and she will have another grandson or granddaughter!"

"It's also your child!" The Empress Dowager Jiang sighed, bowed her head and touched chushao's little head, chuckled, "Shaoer, you need more brothers or sisters!" The implication is to remind the empress that no matter Jiang Huizhi's baby is male or female, it is not as good as Chu Shao.

Indeed speaking of Chu Shao, the empress sipped her lips and calmed down from pretending to be calm: "empress mother, the imperial concubine is happy, according to the rules..."

"Look at the memory of the mourner!" Of course, Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't really forget that the imperial concubine's regular reward after pregnancy. The reason why she doesn't mention it is that she is waiting for the queen to ask. This is not only to give the empress dignity, but also to knock on Jiang Huizhi. Don't think that if she is pregnant, she will start something wrong!

At the moment, with the words of the empress, she lightly told the female official Lin, "you should be rewarded if you are pregnant! You can do it! "

However, in such a sentence, she was not at all interested - this attitude made the empress feel much better. She chuckled and said, "there is a reward for her mother, and her daughter-in-law can't help but express it..." He proposed to leave. He had to go back to beique in person to prepare the ceremony and visit the magpie branch palace.

When she left the temple, the Queen's face sank.

People in the palace all know that she must be in a bad mood. They all look down and dare not make a sound for fear of offending her.

When the Phoenix chariot arrived at the beique palace, the empress forced chushao to smile and coax Chu Shao and his nurse to go back to the side hall. She walked into her bedroom with her maid in her heart, but she was stunned: "why is your majesty here?"

She often lies on a low mica couch, with a young man in a bright yellow suit leaning on his pillow and arm, turning over a half old but not new book. Who is not the emperor?"Don't I often borrow you for a rest?" The emperor put down the scroll and asked.

"But just now the palace people said that the imperial concubine was pregnant." The queen doubted, "does your majesty not know?" It should be impossible. Although the emperor was not involved in state affairs, how could the news of his offspring not be reported in time? At present, there is only one imperial concubine in the harem, which is very simple.

As expected, when the emperor heard the words, there was no expression of surprise or surprise, only a faint "um" voice: "I know!"

The queen looked around her eyes, and the maids all walked out.

She then sat not far from the emperor and asked with concern, "why didn't your majesty come to see her? For the first time, this woman is pregnant, and she is looking forward to her husband's company! "

"You are tolerant!" The emperor looked at her with a smile, and said lightly, "but husband, it seems that you are the only one in the palace who is entitled to call me husband, right? After all, she is just a concubine. "

The queen likes to hear such words most, but she is still angry in front of the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that only here! Let the princess know that it's time to be sad Is it because of her poor service recently that her majesty is not pleased? Otherwise, your majesty has always been the most generous, how can you not go to see her? "

In fact, the queen had some doubts in her mind: "Jiang Huizhi is very scheming. He has been following the rules since entering the palace. I was forbidden to use my feet a few days ago to please the Empress Dowager by all means How can I offend your majesty? "

What's more, "even if there's something you don't care about offending, you're pregnant anyway, why should your majesty be so indifferent to her? It's like It's like it's specially made for me! "

Although she hoped that the emperor's mind would be all on her, she also knew that, "your majesty and I have the feeling of knot and Shaoer, and the feeling must be deeper than that of Jiang Huizhi. But the reason why she is considerate and considerate to me all over the place is that I am chosen by the Empress Dowager. Although Jiang Huizhi has not been favored since she entered the palace, her majesty will go there once or twice a month. Since she is pregnant, it's not natural for her to visit? Your majesty deliberately does not go, and does not know why? "

Listen to the Emperor: "the original to go, but just on the way to hear some bad words, think about it or tomorrow to go!"

The queen asked doubtfully, "what is it?"

"Nothing How about Shaoer? " Instead of answering, the emperor asked his son.

“…… The nurse took her to the temple to change The queen thought for a moment and said, "I'll call him over!"

Let Chu Shao go into the bedroom to haunt the emperor. The empress could not attend to go to quezhi palace in person for a while. She called a female official to do it, and then called Cen Wei up to him: "on the way to quezhi palace, your majesty just wanted to go. What did you say not to go?"

CEN Wei wanted to talk and then stopped, and then he couldn't say. At first, the empress was kind enough to persuade her. Later, seeing him avoid, he was impatient: "is the beique hall in this palace not qualified to let Mr. Cen talk to you?! Or I will go to ask for my mother and ask you to go to the temple of Taishi before you say it

"Maidservant dare not!" When Cen Wei heard this, he quickly fell to his knees and showed his loyalty. "My maidservant was greatly favored by the Empress Dowager's mother, and the Queen's mother looked after her maidservant in all ways. How dare you despise her? I really don't know how to say it! "

The empress's heart sank, and her face murmured, "how can there be so much nonsense - do you say it or not?"

CEN Wei's face is bitter. He looks up to the left and right.

The empress winked and retreated except for her confidant. In a whisper, cen Wei said, "it was the two maids who gossiped after the rockery that made your majesty unhappy!"

"What kind of gossip?! You make it clear to me! " For such a long time, the queen was really impatient!

CEN Wei heard that her tone was wrong, and hurriedly said: "those two cheap maids said Say Said something about the prince! "

The queen suddenly said, "what did they say?"

"They said As the first prince, the great prince of strange way is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager's wife, but he has not been established as the prince so far. He is in harmony We are waiting for the news of Jiang Guifei! " CEN Wei said all his words with a gnash of his teeth. Then he fell down on the ground and dared not look up. Quan thought he was a dead man.

The first empress's face was first iron blue, then red, then white Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, then asked coldly, "where did the palace maid say that?"

"It's the maid who swept the imperial garden. The maidservant was brave. Seeing that her Majesty was not very happy at that time, she asked people to take them to the violence room!" CEN Wei buried his face in the carpet, the way of buzzing.

“……” The empress was silent for a long time, until cenwei was already sweating, and then she said lightly, "I know, you go down to serve your majesty, remember that don't spread it around!"

"Maids and maidservants shall abide by the orders of justice!" CEN Wei breathed a sigh of relief in a loud voice.
