[Comprehensive Classics] Guide to Cannon Fodder Counterattack

The imperial concubine's funeral was very grand. Although she was not posthumously conferred the title of empress, the emperor granted her the honorable imperial concubine. This title shows how much the emperor loves her.

In addition, he also ordered the concubines in the palace, the prince and the princess to keep watch for her.

Yuan Chun, as Shui Mu's side concubine, would have wanted to go, but she was pregnant and had taboos, and the emperor thought that Duan Jing, the imperial concubine, was still thinking about her child before she died, so he specially ordered her not to go.

So for three days in a row, Shui Mu took Princess He and Shui Yun to the palace to guard the spirit.

He Shi was timid, and there were so many people in the palace this time, even though Shui Mu had warned her well before going out, she was still terrified.

She also knew that there must be no mistakes, so she just kept crying with her arms in her arms no matter what, completely venting her fear and helplessness through crying, crying so sincerely, it changed the emperor's view of her a lot.

After Duan Jing's concubine's funeral, Shui Mu lost a lot of weight, and Yuan Chun was very distressed, but she abstained from meat during the filial piety period, so she could only think of ways to cook various supplements for him.

So, Shui Mu and Yuan Chun had a meal for pregnant women together.

"Yuan'er, I've thought about it. Tomorrow, I will submit a letter to my father and emperor to resign from my job in the household department. I will serve my mother and concubine for three years, so I can just spend time with you and watch over the birth of our child."

After all, the imperial concubine is not a queen, and she is not Shui Mu's biological mother. In principle, after her death, Shui Mu only needs to observe filial piety for a hundred days.

Yuan Chun understood: "Okay, let's simply close the gate of the palace, so we can keep filial piety for our mother and concubine quietly, so as not to disturb others."

Yuan Chun knew what Shui Mu was thinking. These days, Shui Mu had already proved his ability to the emperor and courtiers, and now the battle for the reserve position was getting more and more fierce, and he might fall into it if he was not careful.

And the emperor's jealousy is getting heavier and heavier, the better you behave, the more jealous he will be, they might as well avoid it by keeping filial piety.

Anyway, most of the ministers behind him are either the emperor's people, or just some fools, and those who are really loyal to him are hiding in the dark.

Instead of being the emperor's pawn, defeating King Xuan and King An and then being killed by the emperor, it is better to step back, lower their defenses, and let the emperor directly confront his two sons, and develop his power in private Good hit.

Shui Mu knew that this method was a bit risky, but Yuan Chun was going to give birth in a few months, and his brothers were fighting to the death, if they were worried that Yuan'er would give birth to his eldest son and secretly attack him, he was afraid that he would be unable to guard against it .

It's better to show weakness first and withdraw. As long as Yuan'er gives birth safely, the rest can be recovered slowly in the future.

So the next day in the court hall, Shui Mu respected that the imperial concubine loved him very much during her lifetime, raised him for 15 years, and as a show of filial piety, he was willing to eat fast, chant Buddha and observe filial piety in the mansion for three years.

All the courtiers were stunned by this remark. Now that Shui Mu has the support of the emperor and has made good achievements, he is very popular in the court. Once he has kept his filial piety for three years, it will all be in vain. Could it be that King Jin is this Don't plan to fight for the seat?

The emperor was also unwilling, Shui Mu had always been extremely filial to the imperial concubine, he didn't doubt anything, he just felt that although this son was capable, he was too affectionate, and this was the reason why he was willing to use him.

Lovely people are better to control than ruthless people, but at this time, there are some troubles.

However, Shui Muyi had already said this in front of the courtiers. Although King Xuan and King An didn't know what Shui Mu was planning, they would not miss this opportunity to attack political opponents. They praised King Jin's efforts Filial piety, please the emperor agree with his filial piety.

The emperor has always governed the country with filial piety, and he couldn't slap himself in the face, so he had no choice but to agree.

Originally, everyone was a little suspicious of Shui Mu's intentions, and they were tested, but for several months in a row, there was no one else in Prince Jin's mansion except for the servants who bought it, and the whole mansion looked deserted.

Not only that, even King Xuan and the others took action to suppress Shui Mu's power, Shui Mu was indifferent, and everyone gradually relaxed, thinking that the imperial concubine died and King Jin was stimulated and did not intend to fight for the position. There seems to be nothing wrong with such an odd temper.

King An Jun said to Concubine Zhen in the palace: "Mother and Concubine is a good planner, if you don't make a move, it's fine. If you make a move, not only the imperial concubine dies, but even the fourth son, the slave, is also suppressed."

Ever since Shui Mu beat him because of a dog when he was a child, Shui Ze has always held a grudge, but Shui Mu hid under the imperial concubine's wings, and even Zhen Concubine did not dare to act rashly, this time he finally let out a sigh of relief , how could he be unhappy.

Although Concubine Zhen is in her 30s, she is well maintained and looks like she is only in her early twenties.Different from the elegant and beautiful imperial concubine, she is an extremely gorgeous woman with the charm of a mature woman, and her every move is full of charm.

She raised her hand, and the newly dyed nails had been washed off because of the imperial concubine's death. Although her fingers were long and her skin was like jade, they looked quite plain and unpleasant.

"I didn't expect that bitch to be so angry. I wanted her to know that the emperor ordered her to get rid of her child. I just wanted her to break up with the emperor. It would be better for the emperor to throw her into the cold palace in a fit of anger. How can I be so angry to death, this can be regarded as a surprise. There is also Shui Mu, who is just a bastard born of a slave, who actually crushed my son, and caused my palace to be counted in this palace. The ten-year business was almost ruined in one fell swoop, and it is hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart if I don't take revenge."

"Mother and concubine, don't be angry. Now the fourth child is nothing to worry about. What we have to deal with is the fifth child. We just need to get rid of him and wait for the son to inherit the great treasure. Mother concubine, you are the honorable empress dowager. When the time comes, the fourth child will be the empress dowager." It’s not about doing whatever you want.”

Seeing Concubine Zhen's satisfied expression, Shui Ze couldn't hold back his curiosity, he asked, "Mother Concubine, is it true that Imperial Concubine's child was really touched by Father?"

Concubine Zhen's eyes sharpened, she firmly grasped Shui Ze's arm, her long nails almost pierced into his flesh.

"Ze'er, what did my mother and concubine tell you? Don't inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about, or you won't know how to die. Or do you think your father can't do this? I told you earlier, In the royal family, never trust your aloof father, isn't the prince's lesson from the past not enough for you to be sober?"

Shui Ze was in pain, and he said to Concubine Zhen: "Concubine Mother, I know this, and I will never ask such stupid questions again."

Concubine Zhen let him go, lovingly touching his face,

"Ze'er, you have to remember that no one in this palace can be trusted. Only the mother and concubine who gave birth to you and raised you will not harm you, and your younger brother who has the same blood as you. Help you get that seat."

Mizusawa also knew that the concubine mother had paid a lot for him and his younger brother over the years, no matter what, the concubine mother was always with him, and now she swore that she would never question the concubine mother again, and promised to be filial to her in the future.

The two of them are loving mothers and filial sons here, enjoying themselves in harmony, but they don't know that the seventh prince, who is only 15 years old, is standing outside the door, watching this scene with unwillingness and jealousy in his eyes.

Soon, the days passed, and when King Xuan and King An fought more and more fiercely, and even the emperor gradually lost control, Yuanchun launched.

"Side concubine, hurry up, use your strength quickly, the baby will be able to see the head soon." The midwife wiped Yuan Chun's sweat and kept encouraging her.

"Ah...it hurts...I, I can't bear it...child, why don't you...come out." Yuan Chun grabbed the bed sheet tightly, even though her nails were chopped off, she couldn't feel the pain. It's all on the child who has been refusing to come out of the stomach for a long time, and I feel that if he doesn't come out, I will die of pain.

Shui Mu stood outside the door, looking at the pots of blood brought out by the maids, Yuan Chun's constant whimpering of pain could be heard in his ears, he kept pacing, and finally couldn't help but punch the wall

"What's going on, it's been an hour, why hasn't the baby been born yet?" He said and wanted to hit him a few more times.

Li Yan watched in horror, and quickly stopped Shui Mu's movements.

"Don't worry, my lord. There is no rush to have a baby. Besides, didn't the midwife say that the concubine's fetus is in the right position, and it will be born soon. If you hurt your hand, the concubine will see it soon." How distressed."

Shui Mu waved Li Yan away, "Very soon, I said the same thing half an hour ago, I really can't wait any longer. No, I want to go in and have a look."

"My lord, no, this delivery room is unlucky, you can't go in."

Just when Shui Mu was impatient and wanted to rush in, suddenly the sound of a baby crying came from inside, "Wow-wah-." He froze.

"It's born, it's born! The side concubine gave birth to a little grandson!"

Before the midwife could announce the baby, Shui Mu pushed open the door and rushed in. He didn't even look at the newborn baby, and ran straight to Yuan Chun's bedside, looking at Yuan Chun who was pale and without expression. With a blood-colored face, she reached out and pinned her sweaty hair aside.

"Yuan'er, thank you for your hard work."

Yuan Chun shook his head, because he had just exhausted his energy and screamed so hard, now he felt a sore throat when he opened his mouth.

Shui Mu quickly poured her a glass of water, and fed her to drink a little.Yuan Chun suddenly felt much better. She asked in a hoarse voice: "It's not hard, my lord, what about the child, have you seen it? Does it look like you or me?"

Shui Mu felt a little guilty when she heard her question, he seemed to have forgotten his son.Fortunately, by this time the midwife had already packed up the child, wrapped it in swaddling clothes and sent it to Shui Mu.

"My lord, side concubine, look at the little grandson, I have delivered so many children, my old lady, and I have never seen such a handsome one. The eyebrows and eyes are just like the lord's."

Shui Mu took the baby stiffly, and hugged it under the guidance of the midwife.

His mind was blank at the moment, only the soft touch on his arm, he didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting the little guy.

Seeing Shui Mu's wooden appearance, Yuan Chun became a little anxious, she hadn't even seen the child she gave birth with such great effort.

"My lord, let me take a look at myself."

Shui Mu was like a puppet on a string, Yuan Chun put the child next to her in a daze.

Yuan Chun looked at the little baby. The baby was raised well in the mother's womb, with thick fetal hair and a chubby face. However, she frowned in disgust: "Why is the baby's face so red? Isn't it all white and fat? Is it?"

Since waking up from this body, the children she saw were Jia Baoyu, Yingchun, and Tanchun in Jia's mansion, and they had never seen a newborn baby.

As for their newborn appearance, I'm sorry, the memory left by the original owner is not so detailed yet.

But judging from the little fairy children of her younger siblings, her son shouldn't look like this no matter what.Her genetics are quite good here, could it be Shui Mu?

By the way, what the midwife said just now is like Shui Mu, right?Yuan Chun turned suspicious eyes to Shui Mu.
