Comprehensive attack cannon fodder

Chapter 111

"Your Majesty, this is the purple perilla and plum ginger pickled by the maidservants. Your Majesty, try it." Jing Qiu brought up a plate of plums and said.

Jiang Ning threw a plum into his mouth, smashed it a few mouthfuls, spit out the core, and praised: "It tastes good." Then, he took his square handkerchief and spread it on the small case, and put a plum on the plate. One picked up in Fampari.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Jing Qiu asked.

After Jiang Ning put all the plums into Fang Parri, he wiped his hands, then picked up the Persian cat lying on the side, and said: "The weather is fine today, I'm going out for a walk, you take the plums with you, I'm free If you have nothing to do, you can eat a few."

nice weather?

"..." Jing Qiu silently raised her eyes to look at the thick black clouds in the sky, and then hurriedly stopped Jiang Ning's pace: "Your Majesty, it's going to rain, so don't go."

Jiang Ning waved his hand, walked out, and said, "I'm in a good mood today, and I can go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the rain."

Jing Qiu had no choice but to wrap the plums in a square handkerchief and take them out together with an umbrella.

When he walked to the imperial garden, he happened to see Yang Wanruo and her maid walking carefully along the gravel road.

Jiang Ning secretly said: Sure enough, it's here!

She hugged the kitten and walked towards Yang Wanruo seemingly unintentionally.

Yang Wanruo saw her, and after being stunned for a moment, Yingying bowed down and said, "Join the imperial concubine." At the same time, she saw the cat in Jiang Ning's hand, and subconsciously touched her lower abdomen with her left hand.

Jiang Ning glanced at her, and said calmly, "Young talent, what a coincidence."

Now Yang Wanruo has been pregnant for more than a month. In order to protect the child, Yang Wanruo is going to wait until the three-month pregnancy is stable before revealing it.

But she refused to let Yang Wanruo fulfill her wish.

Yang Wanruo straightened up with the help of the maid, and said: "It's about to rain, why did your mother come out?"

"I'm here to appreciate the rain. If it's convenient for Yang Cairen, I'll give you face and come with me."

The imperial concubine said so, if Yang Wan refused, she would be too unreasonable, so she nodded and agreed.

I followed Jiang Ning to the gazebo not far away. Coincidentally, I went in with my front feet, and there was drizzle outside my back feet.

Yang Wanruo looked at it, and felt very fortunate in her heart, fortunately she didn't go back to the palace now, if it rains heavily later, she will get sick from the rain.It's a small matter when the pregnancy is revealed, but if something goes wrong with the child, it's a big deal.

Sitting in the gazebo quietly watching the rain and the scenery, Jing Qiu put the plums in her hands on the stone table, and Jiang Ning took one in her mouth when she was free.

The ginger smell of plums is very strong, and it rushed straight into Yang Wanruo's nose, choking her to the point of nausea.

Watching Jiang Ning put one plum after another in her mouth, Yang Wanruo couldn't bear it anymore, turned her head and retched.

Jiang Ning spat out the plum core and said in surprise, "Yo! What's wrong with my sister?"

She caught a glimpse of Concubine Xianggui and Xue Jieyu who were walking towards the pavilion, preparing to hide from the rain, and raised her voice: "My sister must be pregnant, right? When I was pregnant earlier, I also had this symptom!"

Shan Shi and Xue Shi paused, and then rushed towards the pavilion.

These two people both have children, and naturally they also have experience. After asking Yang Wanruo's maid a few questions, they knew the answer.

Even if you are unhappy, you still have to congratulate Yang Shi with a smile.

Yang Wanruo's face turned pale with anger. When she entered the palace, she did not bring a maidservant with her. This maidservant was assigned to her side from Ye Ting Palace. I don't know if there is anyone behind it, so Yang Wanruo can't trust her a little bit, and there are many things. tell her.

I didn't expect this court lady to be so careful. What she tried to hide was revealed in a few words. She must be someone behind, who was instructed by the master to harm her child!

Yang Wanruo felt that when she returned to the palace, she would definitely find a way to change to a palace lady.

Jiang Ning said: "It's better to ask the imperial physician to take a look, don't eat bad stomach."

"That's right." Concubine Xianggui and Xue Jieyu echoed, and Xue Jieyu hurriedly sent the palace maid out: "Hurry up and get the imperial physician."

Then Concubine Xianggui asked her palace servants to go to Fengqing Palace to tell the queen.

There are so many people in the harem, and within a short period of time, the entire harem knew about it. The concubines gritted their teeth with hatred for Yang Wanruo, and they usually kept silent, but who knew they were pregnant with the child!

Except for Concubine De, who was recuperating from illness, all the concubines from the harem came out, and even the empress hurried over in a sedan chair.

As soon as she arrived at the gazebo, the queen asked the imperial physician who was taking the pulse: "How is it? Is Yang Cairen really pregnant?"

The imperial doctor bowed his hands and said: "Reporting to the empress, Yang Cairen is indeed pregnant, and she has been pregnant for more than a month."

The queen had already made preparations on the way, but when she heard the exact news, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

Another one is pregnant, but what about her?When will she hear the news of her pregnancy from the imperial physician.

The queen twitched the corners of her mouth, and forced a dignified smile: "That's good, let someone inform the emperor."

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the noise of the rain could not stop the excitement in the pavilion.

Braving the light rain, Xiao Yan also came. Although there was an inner eunuch holding an umbrella, Xiao Yan walked very fast, and the palace servants holding umbrellas couldn't keep up with his footsteps, so umbrellas were basically useless. Xiao Yan Most of the body was wet.

The concubines hurriedly knelt down to salute, and when Xiao Yan told them to get up, the queen walked up, wiped off the raindrops on Xiao Yan with a handkerchief, cast a reproachful look at Rong An beside him, and said, "It's raining, the emperor is too Pay attention to the dragon's body, and the palace people around me don't know how to persuade him."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and asked directly: "Is Yang Cairen really pregnant?"

The queen smiled and said, "Yes, it's been more than a month..."

Before the queen's words fell, Xiao Yan laughed twice and said: "Okay! Mrs. Yang has meritorious service, and Mrs. Yang will be registered as..."

Before the word "concubine" could be uttered, the queen said: "Your Majesty, Yang Cairen has just become pregnant, so it is not appropriate to be promoted too high, so as not to overwhelm your luck..."

Seeing that the emperor wanted to promote Yang's status, and the status might be quite high, the queen quickly interrupted him.

Since the emperor came to visit Yang Cairen in the gazebo just now in the rain, the queen could see that the emperor might have some sincerity towards Yang Cairen.

As soon as the pregnancy was confirmed, I planned to move up.

Back then, even the noble concubine, or the concubine De who was pregnant with the eldest son of the emperor, did not receive such treatment.

The time when Yang's menstruation comes, Shang Gongju clearly remembers that it is the middle of every month, but now it is almost the end of the month.She has been pregnant for more than a month, and Yang Cairen didn't have her period at the beginning of the month. Could it be that she doesn't know about it?When she checks the file every day, she sees that it is clearly written in the file: On the second day of this month, Yang Cairen's menstruation is coming, so it is not suitable to go to bed.

Knowing that she was pregnant, but not telling the truth, she even lied to the Shang Palace Bureau with false news, making it clear that she wanted to wait for the fetal image to stabilize before revealing it. This kind of thinking is really not a simple business woman.

The queen felt that it was necessary for her to send someone to investigate the situation of Mrs. Yang at home!

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice.

Of course the concubines don't want Yang Wanruo to rise too high, now that she is so tall, when she gives birth to a prince, she won't be able to climb on top of them!

Therefore, upon hearing the emperor's question, the concubines unanimously said: "What the empress said is true."

In fact, Xiao Yan felt that Jiang Ning was the only one who became pregnant after he had ascended the throne for more than four years, and the new concubine entered the palace for three months. With so many favors, only Yang was pregnant.

For Xiao Yan, who is eager to have a son, Yang's pregnancy is a great achievement, and being a concubine is nothing at all.

But think about it, Yang Wanruo is a newcomer, jumping so many levels is really eye-catching.

"Then it will be promoted to normal."

Although it was still a promotion, the queen's complexion improved a lot, and she told the maid beside her, "Turn around and send the white jade consecrated by the eminent monk to Zi Guanyin to Yang Shunchang's palace."

Yang Wanruo quickly stood up, blessed her body, and said: "Thank you, Empress."

When the queen said this, the concubines also told the maids around them what they wanted to give Yang Wanruo in front of the emperor. Firstly, it was to show their magnanimity. Let's salute for a while!

Xiao Yan didn't know the twists and turns in the concubine's heart, he turned his head, and saw Jiang Ning who was sitting quietly, eating plums in silence, and he hummed coldly in his heart, she was in a panic!I let her see her family, but she didn't come to thank me, she didn't see that Concubine De and Concubine Xianggui both sent things to Zichen Hall, and even the queen came to Zichen Hall to thank me in person!

She was the only one who didn't even give a hint!

"Your concubine, do you have something to give me?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback, and then said: "I don't have anything good about me." Jiang Ning thought for a while, and then took off the bracelet inlaid with gold and jade that he always had on his hand: "If you want to give it away, the concubine should give it to me."

"This jade is very fine." Although Yang Wanruo liked it very much, she still declined a bit, and said: "I have seen my mother wearing it several times, this jade bracelet must be my mother's favorite thing, and I cannot accept it."

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "It's just a jade bracelet, just treat it as a gift from the palace for the children."

Yang Wanruo rejected it a few times, then accepted it with a smile, but she didn't see any strange expressions on the emperor's and empress' faces.

The next day, after Xiao Yan came down to court, he went to the Queen's bedroom, just as the concubine came to say good morning and was still there.

Just as Xiao Yan sat down, there was a message from the inner eunuch at the door: "Report to the Emperor, Empress Concubine De, has passed away—"

All the concubines were shocked, they all knelt down and stood up and said: "Please mourn, Your Majesty."

At this time, no matter what you think in your heart, you have to pretend to be sad in front of the emperor.

Concubine De is the emperor's first woman and also the eldest prince's biological mother. Once she dies, no one will take care of the young eldest prince.

It's time for the harem to stir up trouble again.

"Pass down the decree, posthumously designate Concubine De as Imperial Concubine, and the posthumous name will be drawn up by the Inspector of the Inner Palace."

Originally, Xiao Yan came here today to discuss with the Queen about raising Concubine De's position, so that she could leave with peace of mind, but unexpectedly, Concubine De could not wait any longer, and this promotion became a posthumous title.

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that this matter should not be brought up at this time, but it is related to the prince, and the concubine has to consider it for the heir of the emperor."

Xiao Yan already knew what the queen was going to say, so he sneered from the bottom of his heart and asked, "Just tell me what the queen has to say."

The queen said with a sad face: "The imperial concubine's younger sister has gone, but the eldest prince is still young, and there is really no need for someone to take care of him. I would like to ask, what arrangements will the emperor have for the eldest prince in the future?"

The queen has no children and is nearly thirty years old, so it is unlikely that she will become pregnant in the future.

She only raised a second princess by her side, and the princess was going to marry when she was old, so it was useless except to marry the minister to win over her.

For the sake of herself and the glory of the Sun family, the queen must have a son, if she can't bear it herself, she can only adopt someone else's.

Now, the emperor has only one eldest prince by his side, and Yang's stomach is not known whether it is a man or a woman.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the emperor has no legitimate son, so the crown prince is very likely to belong to the eldest prince.

If the eldest prince is raised by the empress, then Cheng Xu is half a legitimate son.

It's good that the future prince is Cheng Xu. If there is a son who is more suitable to be a king than Cheng Xu, wouldn't it be like repeating the tragedy of his father and his brother killing each other in his later years?

"As for the eldest prince's adoptive mother, I already have someone in mind." Xiao Yan said.

The queen was taken aback: "Who is it?"
