His Majesty didn't like the eldest son of the emperor, so the empress gave him all sorts of rewards in accordance with the rules. It was hard to tell if the empress liked the reward or not.
But without the affection of his Majesty, the Emperor's eldest son, Xi San, and Yue Guang, although not shabby, still revealed a little coldness. They could not compare to what Princess Rong Chang had experienced in the past.
The empress dowager was finally fully recovered after the first full moon of her eldest son. When Zhu Yijun went to pay his respects to the empress dowager, she was a bit disheartened. "His Majesty has already gotten married long ago, and his eldest son already has a son. He is well versed in government affairs and has no need for an old woman like me to guide him from the sidelines.
"In the future, This Dowager will wholeheartedly pay her respects to the Buddha in the Palace of Tzu An. She will not do worldly affairs."
"mother has worked hard before, and now that I am able to rest and recuperate my body, it is very good." Zhu Yijun said.
"During these few months, This Dowager has truly understood what is going on with Leng Ning Palace." "The Empress Dowager Li mocked himself. This one's heart is as cold as the palace. "
"In the future, the Queen and I will come visit the mother at the Ci'an Palace." Zhu Yijun said, "Rei An had long wanted to come to see mother, but because I was worried that she would come to see mother get infected, mother was even more worried, so I did not ask her to come over.
It was as if the Empress Dowager Li had sealed off the palace due to an illness. However, they all knew that this was just an excuse. Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun. His own son was more and more like a mature monarch, and he would also use his monarch nature to look at her, this mother. Some were unable to adapt, but they had to.
The Empress Dowager Li sighed, "Your Majesty and Rei An are both aware of their filial piety, Rei An is now too old, in two years she will be married. Now, I am going to grind her temper, I do not wish for her to appear. Yesterday, Imperial Lower Consort Jing came over with Eldest Prince in her arms. When I saw him, I felt my heart go soft.
"Why don't we have the Eldest Prince bring him to Zhe An Palace to be raised, and accompany This Dowager in relaxing and entertaining." Empress Dowager Li said after pausing for a while.
"Since the status of the Emperor's eldest son is special, let him stay at the Imperial Lower Consort Jing to raise it." Zhu Yijun rejected him without thinking, "What's more, children love to cry, we do not want our mother to worry too much about it."
"It is our fortune that the mother is well taken care of." Zhu Yijun said.
When Zhu Yijun arrived at the Kunning Palace, he still did not look happy. Wang Rong and seeing this, let Wulv slowly carry Rong Chang over, he only looked at the emperor and said, "Who has angered His Majesty again?"
"The mother wishes to carry the eldest son of the Emperor into the Tzu An Palace to be raised." Zhu Yijun said with a gloomy face.
Wang Rong He was stunned for a moment, then said: "Perhaps mother was worried that Eldest Prince was born of low status, and wanted to hug Eldest Prince to raise him, and also just wanted to increase his power."
"It's good that he's that simple. If mother was the one raising the Great Eldest Prince, I'm afraid we wouldn't need to live anymore." Zhu Yijun said that when he was young, the Empress Dowager Li had threatened him to go report to the Tai Temple and change him to the Emperor. Thus, he believed that if the Emperor's eldest son managed to grow up to the age of six or seven, the mother would raise an obedient grandson who could kill his son and help the Emperor to raise his grandson. The Emperor's eldest son held the natural etiquette;
"Your Majesty." She pushed Zhu Yijun away, "Your majesty thinks too badly of the mother, there's no need for you to think this way."
"You don't know, mother had this thought before." Zhu Yijun said coldly, "Furthermore, I am not a good emperor who would listen to the words of the mother."
"From the look of your majesty, you must have also not agreed with mother. If that's the case, then don't be unhappy about it. " Wang Rong advised.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Rong and sighed, touching her wrist. He would call Xu Duzhong over to ask how the empress was doing in recuperating.
After Princess Rong Chang's extravagant birthday, she caught the princess' small bow with one hand and her book with the other. Zhu Yijun laughed loudly as he looked up and said, "My Rong Chang is still a princess with both martial arts and literature, and also a great reward for serving you all in the palace."
Imperial Lower Consort Jing gently hugged Eldest Prince to observe the ceremony. Even now, he had not taken a name, and only allowed his son who was called Eldest Prince to sit at the side with a bitter mouth.
After that, even the Imperial Lower Consort Lan and the Imperial Lower Consort Liu started to produce one after another, and when the Imperial Lower Consort Lan was halfway through activating it, the Imperial Lower Consort Liu started to do the same. Wang Rong and the Imperial Consort Guo stayed at the Jingyang Palace to look at the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, while she went to Yonghe Palace to look at the Imperial Lower Consort Liu.
Even the Imperial Physician had a bitter face as he shook his head repeatedly. Imperial Consort Guo was even afraid that if she were to say it in congratulation, the little princess would die if he were to leave a little later. She only had a few words of consolation for Imperial Lower Consort Lan and Beauty Wang to see the Imperial Lower Consort Lan and the little princess.
The Imperial Lower Consort Liu was in a difficult situation to bear, and even after struggling for a whole day and night, she was still unable to give birth to any of the pills. After drinking them one by one, Wang Rong pulled the imperial physician and said, "With so many medicines, will the Imperial Lower Consort Liu still be able to recover?"
"empress." The Imperial Physician was anxious. "If the child can't be born, esteemed Imperial Lower Consort Liu won't be able to do the same."
Wang Rong He didn't care about persuading her to enter the delivery room, as Imperial Lower Consort Liu's hair was all wet, her face was pale, and she was no longer able to follow the pregnant woman's orders and exert her strength. Wang Rong He looked at her and asked, "Are you going to give up just like that?"
Seeing that Wang Rong He had entered, Imperial Lower Consort Liu smiled in relief, "Empress, am I going to die?"
"Dead or what?" "" Wang Rong Yun, what's wrong? " "You just want to give up. Think about the child in your belly, you are pregnant for ten months, and the child in your belly has yet to see the light of day, so you had the heart to give up with him."
Imperial Lower Consort Liu used all her strength, causing the midwife to exclaim in surprise, "We saw the head, the Queen of Imperial Lower Consort Liu used all her strength, we saw the child's head!"
However, it was as if Imperial Lower Consort Liu had used all of her strength that time. She looked at the top of the bed with her dim eyes, as if she couldn't sense the reactions of the outside world. Wang Rong went to her bed with Imperial Lower Consort Liu and hugged her upper body to her chest.
"Empress, I can't live." Imperial Lower Consort Liu shook her head and said.
"Even if you can't live anymore, do you want to die with your child?" Wang Rong clenched her teeth and said, "This is the child you cherish in your heart. You finally got a child, and you want to give it up?"
Imperial Lower Consort Liu used too much strength to grab onto Wang Rong He's sleeve, and even tore apart some fine clothes. Wang Rong She did not care, but encouraged her and said sternly to the midwife, "What are you waiting for?"
As the midwife continued to receive the pills, another one pushed against Imperial Lower Consort Liu's stomach. After some effort, Imperial Lower Consort Liu finally bit her tongue and bit a mouthful of blood. Only then did her body loosen and give birth to a child.
"It's a little princess." The midwife excitedly said. She slapped the girl's butt and the baby girl cried. Wang Rong and Imperial Lower Consort Liu shook their hands, "Did you hear that? The crying of a child is a healthy and good child. "
Imperial Lower Consort Liu laughed absentmindedly.
"The midwife tidied up Imperial Lower Consort Liu's lower body, and suddenly her face changed greatly. Not good, the Imperial Lower Consort Liu's passed away in blood. "
"What is it? Hurry and get the imperial physician. " Wang Rong He shouted, "Imperial Physician!" Imperial Physician! "
"Empress, I'm so tired. "It's so cold. I really want to sleep." The Imperial Lower Consort Liu muttered.
"Don't sleep." Wang Rong He shook her. "Hold on a little longer. The imperial physician will be here soon. He won't be cold right away, and he won't be tired either."
Imperial Lower Consort Liu smiled as she shook her head, "Empress, we really can't live anymore."
"How do you survive?" Wang Rong said, "You will definitely be able to live. Your body has always been good, better than ours. You'll definitely be able to pass this trial."
"Think about it, little princess. If you die, little princess will have no mother. Do you have the heart to bear it?" Wang Yunzhi put her arms around her and said, "Where's the film? to let the Imperial Lower Consort Liu eat it. "
The imperial physician looked at Imperial Lower Consort Liu's body and finally shook his head in embarrassment, saying it was because he was powerless. "What kind of imperial physician are you? "He's still fine, why is there no hope?" Wang Rong shouted, "Go get Xu Duzhong, quickly."
"Empress, give the Little Princess to Imperial Lower Consort Yang and treat it as her own. Don't tell the Little Princess that there's still a mother."
"With the Empress and the Imperial Lower Consort Yang watching out for me, I don't have to worry." Imperial Lower Consort Liu said slowly.
"How can Imperial Lower Consort Yang and I compare to a mother like you? Don't give up, we've already persisted up to this point. If you continue persevering, even a dead Xu Duzhong can be saved. He definitely has a way." Wang Rong He said.
"Empress." "The harem is so cold, I'm not as indifferent as I thought I was. Every day I suffer in the harem, I can't sleep at night without Your Majesty's care and care, I even had to pretend that I didn't care during the day. I tried my best to be a woman that Your Majesty liked, but I was too stupid to do that."
"If this goes on, I will definitely change. When I change, the Empress and the Imperial Lower Consort Yang will no longer treat me like a sister. Then, in this imperial harem, there will be no place that can make me feel warm. I will die from cold."
"Empress, when I went to Ying Tai, I knew that something was wrong with the palace, but I did not say anything. If I had said anything, when the Empress returned to the palace at that time, those three pitiful children would not have given birth."
"Empress, tell me, is this my retribution?" The Imperial Lower Consort Liu looked at Wang Rong and said that she had always been straightforward and loyal, but that time, she was not loyal, because she had her own little thoughts. She was pregnant, and with the Empress protecting her child, the child would naturally be safe, so why would she care about those people?
When she realized that her three concubines had become mind shackles after having given birth to a child, she felt a bit of a misconception. However, she was still kind-hearted, so she found it hard to sleep and eat.
"What does that have to do with you?" Wang Rong said in a low voice, "It's not like you're the one who harmed their little baby, while the one who harmed them is a high and mighty sleeper. You're just a bystander, yet you're forcing yourself to such a degree. Are you stupid?"
"Yeah, I'm an idiot." "I've been a fool since I was young. Mother only hopes that I can marry into the families on the street in front of us and look after me at all times."
"Empress, I think I saw the great locust tree at my doorstep." Imperial Lower Consort Liu revealed a blissful smile, "It's so beautiful."
"Imperial Lower Consort Liu, Liu Jing." Wang Rong called out repeatedly.
Imperial Lower Consort Liu's hand slipped from Wang Rong He's sleeve and landed on the bedside. Wang Rong She seemed to have been frozen and did not move at all.
When Xu Duzhong came over and saw this, he reached out and touched the Imperial Lower Consort Liu's veins before kneeling down. This humble subject came late, the Imperial Lower Consort Liu Empress has already come. "
Wang Rong shook her head and said, "She's just sleeping. Go and get her some medicine to replenish her Qi and blood. She's lost a lot of blood from giving birth and needs to be treated."
Imperial Lower Consort Yang came in, her face filled with tears as she said to Wang Rong She, "Empress, don't be like this. Jing'er doesn't want you to be like this either."
"I only thought that she was careless and had always been able to see through everything. I didn't expect her to be unable to see through me and have so many things on her mind." Wang Rong muttered, "Her begging for death has nothing to do with watching without doing anything."
"Empress, don't think like that." Imperial Lower Consort Yang cried even harder when she heard this. "Jing Er and I have been together for even longer periods of time, I can't tell at all, not to mention esteemed wangfei."
"I just need to be more concerned about her." Even now, Wang Rongzhi did not cry. She was still in a daze, stupefied. I wish I had known. "
When Zhu Yijun heard that Wang Rong had lost his composure at Yonghe Palace, he immediately came over to see. When he saw that Wang Rong He was still hugging Imperial Lower Consort Liu's corpse, he became angry at the servants of Yonghe Palace, "What are you all doing? And had the Empress wait at the side of the Imperial Lower Consort Liu. "
Zhu Yijun went over to coax Wang Rong and her brother, "Zitong, let go of my hand and let palace maid clean Imperial Lower Consort Liu's clothes.
Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun, "Your majesty, Imperial Lower Consort Liu is dead."
"I know." Zhu Yijun nodded his head, "I don't want to, but life and death depends on it, and it's not up to us to decide." He tried to break Wang Rong's and Imperial Lower Consort Liu's hands.
"Your Majesty isn't sad at all?" Wang Rong asked with a tremble.
"Sad, sad." Zhu Yijun said, "But I feel even more hurt looking at you like this."
Wang Rong He closed his eyes, and finally, tears began to fall from his eyes.
"Imperial Lower Consort Liu died for His Majesty." Wang Rong and Zhu Yijun shouted. Your majesty, don't you have a heart? "
