Palace Scheming: Golden Bell Has a Son

Jin Ling thought she would wait until Li Yi accepted the concubine.

However, as time passed year after year, all the maids and eunuchs in the palace had newcomers, except for the emperor's harem.

Empress Dowager Zheng's body became weaker and weaker due to the dark wounds left earlier, and she often had trouble sleeping at night, and became lethargic and drowsy during the day.She has always liked Xiao Wuyou, so Li Yi asked Wuyou from the Chongwen Museum to accompany her, and the Empress Dowager's face was a little more joyful.

Xiao Wuyou is currently eleven years old, and his name Li Wen is called more often.

Maybe it's because the people in the palace are used to the slowly slender figure and the always straight back, which is not as fat as the baby's still rosy face.Looking from the back, he is a little adult, with a well-regulated behavior and royal demeanor, and he is very cute when he shows his face.

His appearance is more like that of his mother, with red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows, and wearing red clothes, he looks like a lucky baby in New Year pictures.

Li Wen was born in Chenghuan Palace, but stayed in Qingsi Palace the longest, and his relationship with the Empress Dowager is very close, grandparents and grandchildren often whisper behind the palace people's back.These golden bells are all known, but she probably gave birth to a son who smeared honey in his mouth, and his speech was particularly pleasant.

In Qingsi Palace, he would pester the Empress Dowager, saying that grandma loves grandson so much, grandson must love grandma the most.

In front of Jinling, he often hugged his mother's arms, saying that mother had a hard time giving birth to a child, and that her son was filial to her grandmother to make her happy, but that her son loved her mother the most.

Xiao Wuyou seems to be born to be coquettish and foolish, and he responds to the elders with a smile at any time.At the beginning there were rumors spread by the palace people that Concubine Li taught the child to be too flattering and scheming, without the slightest princely air. Because of this sentence, the Queen Mother was so angry that she didn't look good towards Li Yi for several days.

It turned out that it wasn't the court lady who was talking too much, but someone who intended to ruin Xiao Wuyou's reputation outside.At that time, there was only one prince in the palace, and Li Yi had been unwilling to adopt a concubine. They thought that Li Yi would think that this son was not good, so they would naturally recruit a new man to give birth to a little prince.

The officialdom is turbulent, and it is not easy to rise to the top, but the relatives only have to sacrifice their daughters.

Those Qingliu officials and aristocratic families naturally don't think so, but there are always people who want to get to the sky without any effort.Li Yi was very powerful in the court, he was furious, and a group of officials broke out again, stealing chickens would lead to losses, and those people naturally thought about it.

On the contrary, the Queen Mother and Jin Ling had a sense of urgency.

Later, Concubine Xian gave birth to a son after her previous daughter.

The princess's name is Li Mei, and little Li Wen is ten months old. The second prince's name is Li Ya, and little Li Wen is five years old.

The relationship between Xiao Wuyou and the eldest princess has been good since childhood. They used to play together often, and even after Wuyou went to school, she would often give her gadgets.Li Ya was influenced by her same mother and sister, and often went to hug him when she saw Wuyou.

But Li Yi's attitude is here. Right now the brotherhood is good, and they may not fight for power in the future.

Finally one day, Empress Dowager Zheng, who was getting worse and worse, called the emperor's son Li Yi to the bed, and let all the servants go down, and closed the door tightly.The emperor knelt by her bed, tightly holding one of the queen mother's hands, his eyes full of worry.

In the past, the traces of beauty could be seen on the face of Empress Dowager Zheng, but now there is only a haggardness that cannot be concealed by heavy makeup.

Because she had been bedridden for a long time, her body inevitably smelled of medicine, her cheekbones were protruding, and her hands were skinny.The whole person was lying on the wide bed, and his figure seemed extremely small, as if he was exhausting every breath.

Li Yi looked at her and almost cried, but Empress Dowager Zheng smiled at him.

"Prince, Aijia is getting more and more uncomfortable these days. Last night, I even dreamed of your father. I am afraid that time will not be long. The past is vivid in my memory. You and I have managed to survive until today, but Aijia can no longer be with you. gone."

Li Yi held back her grief, and went to refute her words: "Mother, my son sent someone to visit a famous doctor, who will surely make you healthy. Last night, I dreamed about my father must be an unfilial child. I haven't personally saluted and offered incense to my father for a long time, so I entrusted my dream to you You, so that the mother can discipline my unfilial son."

Queen Mother Zheng shook her head, her voice was full of weakness.

"Emperor, don't be like this. Since you ascended the throne, you have purged the government and cleared the traitors. You have promoted the talented and never favored yourself. The family knows that the people praise you as a wise king! Your father will be happy when Hexi returns to the Tang Dynasty. How can you blame Xianghuo?" I'm afraid it's because Ai's family doesn't have a long life, so the first emperor asked his mother to explain the funeral."

"Mother!" Li Yi shouted, unable to speak.

Empress Dowager Zheng looked at him with a pleading look in her eyes.She stretched out her other hand and firmly grasped Li Yi's arm with great force.

Li Yi looked at her, ignored the pain in her arm, and nodded her head heavily.No matter what the queen mother said next, he agreed, even if he couldn't for the time being, he would think twice.

"One thing, because of the matter of Concubine De, over the years, you and my mother and son have always had grudges and lack of closeness. Aijia actually doesn't regret it, but Aijia wants you to take good care of yourself in the future. Reviewing memorials also depends on the time. You can't stay awake for a long time. , three meals a day have to come on time, those eunuchs and maids dare not keep persuading you, you have to keep it in mind.”

Thinking of Miyoshi, Li Yi felt a pain in her heart, worried and at a loss.

But looking at the guilt in Queen Mother Zheng's eyes, he didn't have the heart to think about anything else.Now it is his biological mother who is seriously ill and bedridden, not to mention that what happened back then is still his fault, he was the one who made the queen mother worry.

"It was my son who hurt my mother's heart. The three good things are all my wishful thinking. My son has never complained. Everything my mother said about my son is in my heart."

"The second is Wuyou. The Ai family knows that the harem is not allowed to do politics, but the Ai family single-handedly brought Wuyou to the grandparents. Since ancient times, it is difficult for the eldest son to live long. Now you only have two princes, Wuyou and Aping. Son, will you accept a concubine again?"

Li Yi looked at the expectation on Empress Dowager Zheng's face, shook her head and said, "I am devoted to government affairs, and I am determined not to accept concubines in the future."

Empress Dowager Zheng breathed a sigh of relief immediately, with tears in her eyes, and she chanted Xiao Wuyou's name.

However, she doesn't know how long her prince can live. As a mother, she hopes that the prince can live a long and healthy life.But as a worry-free grandmother, she is also afraid that like every prince in the past dynasties, once she meets a long-lived king, she will be jealous.

"The Ai family is really afraid, afraid that Wuyou, who was brought up in vain and fat, will be persecuted in the end. Concubine Li was born as a maidservant, and so is the Ai family. How much our mother and son have suffered back then, my son, please let the Ai family beg you , even if you like Aping more than Wuyou in the future, you have to leave a way out for him, okay?"

Li Yi looked at her and said with a smile: "Wuyou is smart, intelligent, and filial, I will make Jinling the queen and make Wuyou the prince, mother queen, I won't mess up the elder and younger and let their brothers kill each other in the future. I can swear to the queen mother that I will be free from worry every day, and the world will never violate it."

Empress Dowager Zheng's face showed joy, and she gradually became tired, she closed her eyes contentedly.

"Mother!"

Li Yi panicked, but when he put his fingers under the Queen Mother Zheng's nose, breathing was weak but still there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The author has something to say:

In the previous writing, Li Yi called the concubine mother in desperation. Here, she thought that she had been the emperor for several years, so she called her queen mother.
