The Imperial Consort Zheng gave birth to a healthy prince who was ranked third son of the Emperor. The Emperor was overjoyed and gave his name at the first full moon of the Little Prince, Zhu Changxun, and conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort Zheng as Imperial Noble Consort Zheng.
As a result, the Imperial Noble Consort Zheng became a true concubine and rode on a cloud of dust within the imperial harem. Rumor had it that the Imperial Noble Consort and the Empress would be able to see the other end of the story.
When the words were passed down from the palace, Zhu Yijun was still in the Kunning Palace and had experienced the first month of every year. Most of the time, he slept under a blanket, and when Zhu Yijun was in a good mood, Wang Rong didn't push him. Wang Rong said indifferently. It wasn't made of porcelain, so could it be that serving His Majesty would cause him to break into pieces?
It might be because he hadn't seen Dunlun in many years, Zhu Yijun also felt that it was a little strange. It was also good to lie down with Zitong and talk, so he didn't have to do that thing.
Wang Rong He also couldn't help but laugh at himself. Look, it wasn't as serious as an obsession with cleanliness. He would just have to bear with it for a bit before letting it pass. He wouldn't die.
Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, was having intimate conversations with Wang Rong, his husband, and their wife. It was very comfortable there, where Imperial Noble Consort's Jiao Er was acting coquettishly and acting crazy, and there were even other girls comforting her body.
As his children grew up, the Emperor doted on the Third Prince, and on empress, who had never been able to give birth to him, Imperial Noble Consort Zheng had thought of something. After serving the Emperor once, he said in a spoiled tone, "Why is the luck of this son of mine so bad, empress?"
Zhu Yijun said groggily, "The empress was injured while giving birth to Rong Chang, so it was not easy to get pregnant."
Zhu Yijun didn't know what he said, but the Imperial Noble Consort Zheng covered her mouth and swallowed the surprise that she received the news.
If the empress could not give birth, then there would be no direct son.
Although he didn't have a direct leader, his Majesty doted on him and it wasn't impossible for him to make a request. This was especially so for an unfavored eldest son. Even if he died, what would be so strange about it?
It was practically a day and a night, and news had spread outside the palace. empress's body was injured, and she would not be able to give birth to any more children in her lifetime.
The imperial palace was filled with people.
The old lady immediately entered the palace and held Wang Rong He's hand. "Is that true?"
"It's not that serious." Wang Rong He could only comfort her.
"Then there is." The old lady cried. "Rong Chang is six years old this year, six whole years and you still haven't told Grandmother how bitter you must feel."
"I'm fine." Wang Rong helped her up, "At least I still have Rong Chang."
The old lady grabbed his hand. "Can't the imperial physicians treat it?"
Wang Rong became silent. The old lady hugged her and cried, "My darling, what should I do?"
After much difficulty in coaxing the old lady and sending her out of the palace, Wang Rong and the rest felt both physically and mentally exhausted. Other than the fact that there was no illness in their Kunning Palace, it was only now that they found out that the Empress had actually broken down.
Without any problems, he brought over a cup of tea and asked, "May I know who's blabbering?"
"Who else?" Wang Rong Yun said indifferently, "You and I won't say, Imperial Physician Xu won't say. Perhaps His Majesty said it on some concubine's bed."
"For it to be spread so easily in such a short period of time, it must be extremely profitable." Wang Rong He said, "Go call Imperial Consort Gong over."
When Imperial Consort Gong heard the empress's summons, she immediately rushed to the Kunning Palace. With an uneasy look on her face, she didn't want the empress to see the joy she had after hearing the news.
The Empress couldn't possibly have believed that she was the one who spread the news. Heavens, she didn't have the ability to investigate such a private matter. The unease on his face was no longer an act, but a real worry.
When Wang Rong He saw her, the first words that came out of his mouth was, "When the news spread, eldest son stood at the center of the storm. As a mother, you need to be more attentive than usual.
Imperial Consort Gong's face reddened, and she realized that she was being petty. Her face turned red and her face turned white, as if she had understood what Wang Rong meant. "I beg the Empress to save Eldest Prince's life."
"Thousand Li Defensive Thief, only the person beside you can do it." Wang Rong He shook his head, "You should be careful, but if you have definite evidence that someone is harming the Eldest Prince, you should look for me, I can't just sit there and do nothing."
"Many thanks, Empress." Imperial Consort Gong said. She hated the fact that she couldn't immediately return to the Jingyang Palace to comb through Eldest Prince's body. In the future, she would let the Eldest Prince live in her eyes.
After all, this would be her life for the rest of her life.
The Empress Dowager Li looked at Wang Rong and his past carefully. "You can't give birth to your son?"
Wang Rong was silent.
"Then you must advise His Majesty to appoint a leader as your next leader." Empress Dowager Li said, "The ancestral family rules are law and order, and cannot be changed because of Imperial Noble Consort being pampered."
"The creation of a heir is the foundation of the kingdom. Since His Majesty has no plans to do so now, I can't say it rashly to avoid interfering with the political affairs of the kingdom." Wang Rong Yun slowly said.
"The heir is not only related to the previous dynasty, it is also related to the harem. If you don't speak now, when will you speak?" Empress Dowager Li said. "Don't be so unbalanced, who told you to be so weak."
"If His Majesty has the intention of making a heir, I will naturally stand on the side of the ancestral family's law." Wang Rong He said. Even the ministers and court officials will not allow His Majesty to do as he pleases. "
"Is Your Majesty not willful enough now?" The Empress Dowager Li slapped the table and said, "If you can properly advise me against it, His Majesty would not be so indulgent."
"I really can't argue with mother's accusation." Wang Rong He said. mother knows more than I do about His Majesty's temper. I am incapable and can only beg him to step out and advise Your Majesty. "
Empress Dowager Li's throat was thumped by her words. If his Majesty still listened to her, why would she let Wang Rong pass on her message? Empress Dowager Li's face showed displeasure as she allowed Wang Rong to return first.
The people of the Palace of Tzu Ning were waiting outside, allowing the empress to make a trip to the Palace of Tzu Ning when she had time.
Wang Rong sighed faintly. If they wanted to come, then so be it.
When the Empress Dowager Chen saw her, she backed off a bit. "The imperial physician has seen it, is it true?"
Wang Rong smiled bitterly. Now that everyone said she couldn't be born, they all treated it as if she couldn't be born to prepare for the future. She wondered if she would break their big teeth if she got pregnant one day.
"If the court doctor were to be afflicted with any illness, he would not dare to use any medicine. If we were to talk about medical techniques, it might not necessarily be better than those of the common folk." The Empress Dowager Chen said, "You asked the mansion's people to find a famous doctor for you. You are so young, what can't you treat?"
Wang Rong He extended his hand to hold Empress Dowager Chen's hand, "Imperial Mother still dotes on me."
"What did your mother say?" The Empress Dowager Chen asked, "Don't worry about her. She isn't the empress herself, so she naturally doesn't know that the empress won't be able to give birth to a child."
"Only the Empress." Empress Dowager Chen looked at her, "There is a high chance that something bad will happen in this world. If there is really no son in the world, Eldest Prince is the leader, Imperial Consort Gong is unfavoured, and he has no backing. Eldest Prince being the crown prince is for you the best."
"Imperial Noble Consort is a powerful being, but His Majesty likes him. "If His Majesty were to claim the position of third prince, I'm afraid that the empress's seat would be unsteady." The Empress Dowager Chen advised her.
"There is no difference between the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince here. Wang Rong He said, "Naturally, I will stand on the side of the ancestral family's law."
"It's not easy for you either." The Empress Dowager Chen sighed.
"No one is easy." Wang Rong said.
In fact, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry in response to the current situation. He didn't know who was the one who insisted on supporting her so that she could stop the crown prince and let him off the hook, but her stomach was fine and she was really having a good time.
Just one or two of them were already worried about the emperor's heir. She was betting on something, but the emperor wouldn't do it now.
Not for her, and not for your majesty.
The next Emperor is the King of the Kingdom. If anything goes wrong with His Majesty, the courtier can make the Crown Prince their Lord, and the Emperor will be in danger. Furthermore, the Emperor doesn't have complete trust in the mother. The mother is someone who has been in charge of the political affairs of the country, she can turn the tide easily with a flip of her hand, which is why she doesn't like the mother to get close to her eldest son.
In the past few days, Zhu Yijun had been avoiding the Kunning Palace, and perhaps was vexed over how his mouth was quick to speak. After saying it out, he had provoked some trouble, so if his Kunning Palace did not come, he would not go to the imperial harem.
Those who chewed on their lips would be directly punished by the staff of the palace maid, while the concubines would have their salaries suspended for six months.
He finally managed to suppress the fluctuations on the surface.
The hearts of the people who were secretly beating would not be able to calm down.
There was one more heart in the harem that was so excited because the empress was too sick to have children, and that was Wang Rong's younger sister, Beauty Wang Wang Zhixi.
also came along. When Beauty Wang saw her mother at Kunning Palace, she asked her to persuade her grandmother and have the empress give birth to a child from her womb.
"Borrowing a baby?" Lady Cui did not understand.
"I'm the Empress's twin sister. If I don't come out at this time to help the Empress share a bit of the burden, when will I be able to do anything for the Empress?" Wang Zhixi said, "Sister will take care of me everywhere, I do not have anything else to repay you, only my healthy body can help sister share her worries."
"You," the Lady Cui didn't understand. "Even if you were born, you wouldn't be able to become the direct descendant, how can you help the Empress to share her worries?"
Since Your Majesty doesn't like the Emperor's eldest son, then you will naturally not make the Emperor's eldest son the crown prince. Since the Emperor's eldest son doesn't make a name for himself, then what difference does the Emperor's third son have to the other sons of the Emperor? Why didn't the Empress push for a prince who has the bloodline of the Wang family to become her crown prince, allowing the Duke Yongnian Palace to reap another hundred years of glory? "
"The Empress cannot give birth now." Wang Zhixi said, "This, in the future, just who the person sitting on the throne will be, it's extremely important."
"The Empress and I are sisters. The children I give birth to are no different from those the Empress gave birth to." Wang Zhixi said.
Lady Cui opened her eyes wide, "Could it be that you want the Empress to impregnate and then you want to trade the place of Crown Prince?"
Wang Zhixi looked at her, "What are you thinking about?"
"The Empress would definitely not agree to such a foolish idea."
Lady Cui held onto her chest, "I don't think she would be happy to see you give birth."
"It's true that she's unhappy about it, but she can't bear to see it happen anymore. She can only accept her fate." Wang Zhixi's eyes flashed with a strange light.
