Difficult for a son-in-law

Ming Zhan still learned about the premature birth of Du's concubine from Princess Fuchang.

Ever since the incident happened, Princess Fuchang always lacked confidence in front of Ming Zhan. At this time, she apologized 12 points and said to Ming Zhan brightly, "That lowly servant girl originally asked her to pack up her things yesterday. Come on now. Unexpectedly, the fetal gas was moved, and it was born in the middle of the night, and now I can’t move it.”

Ming Zhan didn't speak, Ming Yan was the most understanding, and said softly, "A servant, maybe she has been frightened these days, her pregnancy is unstable, and premature labor is normal. Auntie, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl?"

A girl who has not been out of the cabinet is not shy at all when it comes to having children.Mingyan was born in the palace, and she served in front of the Empress Dowager Wei when she entered the palace, and she was very favored by the Empress Dowager Wei, so she must have some means.The eldest princess Fuchang sighed nervously, "It's a kid."

The corners of Mingyan's lips curled up, her eyes rolled, she lowered her head to stare at the Jianyao porcelain cup in her hand, thought for a while, then raised her head and said lightly, "Our family has always been merciful, since we gave birth, let's let her be confinement. The young master's beloved, if he moves now, what kind of disease or disaster will happen to him, wouldn't it make Du Gongzi feel distressed." These days Ren's heart hurts, Mingyan couldn't help but sneer a few words.

Princess Fuchang hurriedly confessed for her son, "You can rest assured, Rulan knows how to measure, she will definitely not do this."

Proper!With the sense of propriety, you can do such a thing that makes a girl's stomach big!Ming Yan was disdainful in her heart, Ming Zhan told her the truth about Du Rulan long ago, marrying such a man, she might as well raise a dog!

It's really funny, even if she was born as a concubine, she was raised in front of the concubine. She has to be named princess, has a title and title, has a family background and brothers, and now she has to worry about her husband's concubine before she enters her husband's house!

Mingyan laughed suddenly, Empress Dowager Wei knew that her granddaughter had been wronged, and said with a smile, "Your aunt will take care of these little things, so let's not mention them. It's just a disappointment. Girl Yan thought of something interesting, so happy." Because of Du Rulan's incident, Empress Dowager Wei severely reprimanded the eldest princess Fuchang in private, scolding her for being dizzy, that she couldn't even control a slave.

It's just that this marriage has been clearly issued, for the sake of the face of the two sons, besides, breaking the marriage just because of a lowly maid is a bit of a big deal.

Mingyan looked at Empress Dowager Wei, and said with a smile, "I think of a playbook that my third younger sister told me before. The emperor's grandmother must have never heard of it, why don't I tell it to the emperor's grandmother."

In this era, listening to operas is like a modern live concert, which is loved by the people of the Celestial Dynasty.

When Empress Dowager Wei heard that there was a play she hadn't heard before, she suddenly became interested and said with a smile, "You should tell me about it."

"This play is about a certain dynasty and a certain generation. In the palace, the emperor is over [-] years old and still has no heirs. I can't help but feel very anxious." Mingyan always speaks neatly, speaking in a cadence, and her eyebrows are beaming. "This emperor worships God." I prayed to Buddha, and finally I got a son from God. In the harem, a concubine Li Chen and a concubine Liu Gui were pregnant successively. The Holy Majesty Longyan was very happy, and the two concubines were very favored by him. At this time, the Holy Majesty said, "Whoever is the first After giving birth to Lin'er, he became the crown prince'. Concubine Li Chen was beautiful and kind-hearted before she conceived, but Concubine Liu Gui was beautiful and poisonous, thinking that Concubine Li Chen must have given birth earlier than her. It is a princess, of course there is no need to mention it; but if both of them are princes in their womb, then Concubine Liu Chen's son will be the crown prince, which will inevitably lead to Concubine Liu Chen becoming the queen."

"At this moment, the eunuch next to Concubine Liu Gui offered a plan to buy the midwife during Concubine Li Chen's delivery. If Concubine Li Chen gave birth to a princess, he would live in peace. If it was the prince, he would prepare a skinned civet cat in advance. Prince. At the time of introduction, it was only when Concubine Li Chen gave birth to a monster." This matter stemmed from the court's competition for favor, and when it came to the climax, Ming Yan deliberately lowered her voice, and the word "monster" was particularly low.Empress Dowager Wei was engrossed in listening, her heart skipped a beat, she couldn't help asking, "Then what happened next?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ming Yan's lips, "Later, on the day of delivery, Concubine Li Chen gave birth to the prince. Then, the midwife was bought by Concubine Liu Gui and replaced the prince with a civet cat. When the emperor saw Concubine Li Chen gave birth to a civet cat, Long Yan In a rage, concubine Li Chen was thrown into limbo."

Empress Dowager Wei sighed that it was a pity.

"The little prince was wrapped in swaddling clothes, and was sent to be drowned in the imperial river by Concubine Liu Guifei's confidantes. As a result, the palace people couldn't bear it, so the little prince was left behind. In the future, Concubine Liu will indeed give birth to a son. Your Majesty Long Yan was very happy, and made Concubine Liu the queen. Unexpectedly, concubine Liu's prince died before the full moon. At this time, the confidants took the opportunity to present the little prince. Concubine Liu didn't know that the little prince was the prince born to Concubine Li, and she even hid it from the emperor. Later, when the little prince ascended the throne, she knew that her biological mother had been wronged. Unfortunately, Concubine Li had been suffering outside the palace for many years and was blind. In the end, Empress Liu committed suicide in fear of crime. The so-called, people are not as good as heaven, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end, that's how it is." Mingyan glanced at the uncomfortable expression of Princess Fuchang, and said to the queen mother with a smile, " This play is called 'civet cat for prince'."

Princess Fuchang's heart was suddenly empty, and she had nowhere to go.

It was Ming Yan who told her to listen to this play.

Empress Dowager Wei laughed and said, "This play is interesting and tortuous. The sky net is extensive, and it is sparse but not leaky. However, the person who wrote the play book must not know the strictness of the palace. For example, when a concubine gives birth, there can only be a midwife to wait on it. The Ai family gave birth to the emperor. At that time, the status was extremely low, and there were seven or eight palace people in the room, three or four midwives serving, and there were even imperial physicians outside. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, who would dare to change the prince?"

Ming Yan smiled and said, "The emperor's grandmother said so. This show is just a fun joke, how can it be taken seriously? It's a fun for everyone. The emperor's grandmother is not a granddaughter boasting. The third sister in the family is the smartest, but we When the sister is bored, she will write a few good plays and let the family's small theater troupe perform them. It is both boring and interesting. The imperial grandmother is holding the beautiful girl baby at the moment. If the third sister comes, she is afraid that the imperial grandmother will watch I will never look at Yan girl again."

Empress Dowager Wei laughed loudly, "You girl, you are still jealous of your own sister. Ai Jia remembers that your second sister is Ming Qi, your third sister is Ming Fei, and there is Ming Ya, right?"

"The emperor's grandmother has a good memory." Mingyan smiled, peeled a grape and served it to the Queen Mother Wei.The Empress Dowager Wei is extremely protective of the Wei family. Although her niece is a side concubine in the Zhennan Palace, she is closer to her grandson Mingli than to her grandson Mingzhan.Mingyan is clever, although she and Mingfei don't get along very well, at the moment she just picks up what Queen Mother Wei likes to say, "Mingfei is used to making a lot of weird things, I don't know how she came up with it , even my royal father is particularly partial to the third younger sister."

"Yes, one year, among the birthday presents from your father, there was a kaleidoscope, which was fresh and interesting. I heard that it was made by Ming Fei." The Queen Mother Wei smiled and nodded, "She is a smart child, it is difficult for her to do this. intelligent."

Ming Yan smiled slightly, and continued to flatter Queen Mother Wei.

Princess Fuchang was a little restless, Mingyan smiled and said, "Aunt finally came to the palace, imperial grandmother, please let Auntie have lunch with you. I'll go and order the longevity dining room to make some side dishes that Auntie likes. "

The Empress Dowager Wei was pleased that Mingyan was sensible, and glanced at her languid companion—Ming Zhan, and said with a smile, "Let them cook some of Ming Zhan's favorite food, and Ai's food will be delicious if you are with Ai's family." Son."

Mingyan stood up and blessed her, and left with a smile on her face.

Ming Zhan then stood up, pointed to Mingyan, and bowed to Queen Mother Wei.Empress Dowager Wei happened to have something to say to Princess Fuchang, and she agreed with a smile, "Go, I know that your siblings have something to say in private."

Mingyan paused for a moment, then stretched out her hand, the emerald bracelet set off her bright wrist, jade white as snow.

Ming Zhan stepped forward, and the two siblings clasped hands and walked away hand in hand.
