[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

Although Liu Che said that he didn't care much about women's pregnancy, but in five or six months, it must have been obvious. If it's only two or three months, it's really hard to see it on the surface.Although it is said that you should wear loose clothes after pregnancy, but these days, whether it is a skirt or a deep garment, the waist will be exposed. The deep garment will have a belt tied outside, and the skirt is relatively short these days. It will be tied directly above the waist, so that if the belly is protruding, it will look very obvious.

Mrs. Zheng's people found that Mrs. Gouyi's lower abdomen protruded more obviously. When she thought about it, she felt that Mrs. Gouyi should have stuffed something in her lower abdomen. The belly was exposed, and she turned around and said that because Mrs. Gouyi had been pregnant for nearly half a year, but she had never had any special reaction, so she suspected that Mrs. Gouyi was a fake pregnancy, intending to confuse the Tian family's blood.

Although Mrs. Gouyi is very careful, she can't stay in the palace all the time, she always needs to come out for a walk. Of course, unless necessary, she will not leave the atmosphere of Gouyi Palace.The palaces these days use rammed earth buildings, which are very tall and occupy an exaggerated area. The palace rooms are usually connected by multiple roads.

Mrs. Gouyi is walking on the back road at the moment. After walking for a while, she is planning to take a rest. The waiters around her immediately and methodically prepare a low couch, a tooth mat for Mrs. Gouyi, and take out water, drinks, snacks and fruits from the food box. , Then, just when Mrs. Gouyi was about to drink a cup of honey water, a court lady cut open a melon with a bamboo knife, took out the seeds from the melon, peeled off the skin, and cut the flesh into small pieces , placed in front of Mrs. Gou Yi.Mrs. Gouyi raised her chin, and another court lady took a silver fork to pick up a melon, ready to deliver it to Mrs. Gouyi's mouth. Then, the hand of the lady holding the melon suddenly shook, and the lacquer plate in her hand was smashed. Overturned, the melon on it fell on Mrs. Guyi, and then, the maid dropped the lacquer plate in horror, and reached out to take the melon away from her body, saying repeatedly: "Madam, please forgive me!"

This was so sudden that Mrs. Gouyi hadn't had time to react, and then found that when the maid was picking up the melons, she stretched out her hand and tore loose the ribbon on her stomach that was used to fix the silk cushion through the skirt.I also blame Mrs. Gouyi herself. Originally, everyone kneels and sits these days, but kneeling is really difficult. Therefore, many people generally do not maintain such a sitting posture in front of servants, especially Mrs. Gouyi is really pregnant. So, what she brought with her was not an ordinary seat, but a low couch, so now she is sitting directly on the low couch with her legs slightly bent, so at this moment, almost everyone present can see her There was an obvious collapse in the bulging abdomen, and then Mrs. Gouyi moved a little, and a cushion made of silk floss about three fingers thick fell from under her skirt.

In the palace, as long as you have the heart, there will be no secrets. Although Mrs. Gouyi has been in the palace for several years, after discovering that she actually engages in such a thing, even those loyal palace people will They all had different intentions. After all, if something happened to confuse the blood, they would inevitably die by then.Therefore, the news of Mrs. Gouyi's fraudulent pregnancy spread quickly, and if a group of palace people could not leave casually, they would have rushed to inform the police.After all, the Han law does not advocate "relatives concealing each other" nowadays. If someone around you breaks the law, if you don't show up, you will be counted as an accomplice.Although Mrs. Gouyi can do this, someone will help to cover it up, but it must be a confidant who has received enough benefits. This is a crime that may be punished by the family. These palace people who don't even have a salary But I don't have the ability to carry it.

Although Liu Che knew that most of the concubines in the palace had their own petty thoughts, he never expected that someone would dare to play such a trick.Why was it that when Chen Ajiao was pregnant, he was worried that someone would steal the show, but in the end, he was always very confident in other people, but in the end, he was played by a little woman.Liu Che is always conceited and arrogant, and now he is furious. If he hadn't found several imperial physicians afterwards, he would have confirmed that Mrs. Gou Yi was actually pregnant, but only for about two months, not the so-called near-term pregnancy. In six months, he was able to kill Mrs. Gou Yi directly.

Even so, Liu Che did not spare Mrs. Gouyi lightly. No, this person cannot be called Mrs. Gouyi now. She has directly changed from a wife who is only under the queen to a young lady who can be regarded as the bottom of the palace concubine. , if Mrs. Gouyi was not pregnant, I'm afraid she would be able to enter Yongxiang directly.And Liu Che didn't let anyone who was involved in this matter go unnoticed.Mrs. Gouyi's father originally had a high position in the Shaofu because of Mrs. Gouyi, so he could give Mrs. Gouyi a lot of convenience.It is precisely because of this reason that they found out the reason for the imperial physician who often consulted Mrs. Gouyi, coerced and lured the imperial doctor into boarding the boat, and gave Mrs. Gouyi, who was less than two months pregnant, a six-month-old baby. months of diagnosis.This time, Mrs. Gouyi, no, it should be called Young Envoy Zhao now. Young Envoy Zhao's father was directly beheaded. As for the imperial physician who became their accomplice, he was also beheaded. Most of the others were also executed.Most of the palace maids in Gouyi Palace did not escape with their lives. After all, you have been serving for so long, don't you know that Madam is not pregnant?The remaining ones were also thrown into Yongxiang, and they would never have a bright future.

The ever-popular Mrs. Guyi ended like this. After that, even if she gave birth to a prince, she would end up being like the unfavored princes of Emperor Xiaojing, who would be divided into remote villages and become princes and kings. Even without the protection of his parents, he was very They may not even live to be named princes and kings.

As for why Mrs. Gouyi came to this point, most people suspect that it was Wei Zifu's method. After all, apart from Wei Zifu who is the queen, there are several people who can drive a maid at will to expose Gouyi at the risk of death. What about Madam's plan?After the news got out, the court lady who exposed the matter swallowed gold and committed suicide, and then the clues were cut off.That court lady has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has nothing to rely on outside. Being able to handle her is not something ordinary people can do.

As soon as this incident happened, those who had looked down on Wei Zifu all of a sudden increased their attention to Wei Zifu again, but Wei Zifu was also very confused.In fact, she really never interfered with the birth situation of the concubines in the palace. In her opinion, Liu Che is already at this age, and the ones who can really compete with Liu Shi should be the older princes and kings, not a young prince. She was born as a baby, so even if Mrs. Gouyi once took her momentum in the palace, she didn't intend to attack Mrs. Gouyi.Wei Zifu really didn't do anything evil, she came from a low family background, so although she was not timid when doing things, she was always very self-aware.She has long realized that the person next to her pillow is ruthless. If you really do something sneaky in secret, it's okay if you don't get caught. If you really get caught, then what awaits you will never be a good result .

Therefore, Wei Zifu has indeed had a lot of small thoughts over the years, but he never does anything out of line. In addition, he is very tolerant and virtuous to the outside world, but this kind of reputation is actually of little use. Chen Ajiao can be a queen with Liu Che On the contrary, when Wei Zifu is the queen, Liu Che kills at most. She rewards some property to the orphans. Although this is considered a kindness, it is actually better than nothing.How many people who can be killed by Liu Che really have no roots?At least the family wealth will not be too short.Except for Zhang Tang, but Zhang Tang really has nothing to do with the Wei family. This is a lonely minister. He doesn't recognize anyone except Liu Che, so naturally he won't have a relationship with the Wei family.Zhang Tang was killed, and Wei Zifu wanted to send some property to Zhang Tang's widow, but the other party confiscated it at all.After all, Zhang Tang's lifelong reputation is the best political legacy left to his son Zhang Anshi, and he can't put his son's future in it just because of the lack of money.

So, for so many years, Wei Zifu seems to have given a lot of kindness, but in fact, when it comes to the critical moment, how many people can come in handy?

Like this incident, many people thought that Wei Zifu had a deep mind, but Wei Zifu was also thinking to himself, who exactly did it.The first thing she suspected was naturally the concubines in the palace, and naturally, Mrs. Zheng was the first to bear the brunt.It's just that, after searching secretly for a long time, she didn't find any trace of Mrs. Zheng's hands.You know, Madam Zheng has been living in secluded life since her second son became a feudal clan, just like a transparent person in the palace. No matter what the maid in Gouyi Palace is, she has nothing to do with Madam Zheng.As for Mrs. Zheng's purpose to pave the way for her son, at this time, who would have thought that Mrs. Gouyi would be the final winner?Even the princess of Zhuyi and Mrs. Wei, who had been resurrected for the rest of their lives, couldn't believe that Liu Che finally chose a young boy to inherit the throne.Therefore, Wei Zifu felt that even if Mrs. Zheng really had the heart, she should deal with those princes and kings who had already entered the vassal state, or even the uterus, rather than a fetus that did not know whether it was male or female.But if it's other people, it might be that after Mrs. Gouyi entered the palace, she took away the favor of some favored concubines and offended many people. At this time, the heart of revenge was born?

Of course, Mrs. Zheng's suspicion cannot be ruled out directly. Wei Zifu didn't understand at first why Mrs. Gouyi pretended to be pregnant for nearly half a year when she was clearly pregnant, but later she heard people around her say that in ancient times Emperor Yao was born in fourteen months of pregnancy, that is to say, Mrs. Gouyi took a gamble. When she didn't know whether the child in her womb was a boy or a girl, she bet that the child was a prince. Naturally, it will attract Liu Che's attention.If Mrs. Zheng also understood this meaning, then maybe it was Mrs. Zheng who did it.

Even if Wei Zifu had doubts in his heart, when everyone outside suspected her, even if she knew who it was, she couldn't act rashly, because outsiders would only suspect you as a thief and call "stop the thief" and find a scapegoat for yourself.

In fact, even Liu Che doubted Wei Zifu very much. However, since Mrs. Gouyi made a fake first, even if Wei Zifu exposed it, it would not hurt the child in Mrs. Gouyi's belly, so naturally Liu Che would not pursued.Compared to being fooled by others, Liu Che still doesn't pay attention to the fight between women.

"Did you say that Wei Zifu did this?" Chen Ajiao was very excited when she got a new gossip, and she asked while playing with a sandalwood Ruyi inlaid with pearls and gems.

"It should be Mrs. Zheng!" Feng Yu peeled the nuts and said, since the Han people communicated with the Western Regions, especially Zhang Qian brought back a lot of plants with the characteristics of the Western Regions, which brought a lot of bright colors to the dining table of the Han people. , Feng Yu actually knows more about the plants of the Western Regions, so after talking to the Shaofu a few times, more crops were introduced, such as cotton, although it is still short-staple cotton, but it is better than kapok .In addition, the yield of wheat in the Mediterranean region is also higher, and various spices are also good things. Now that the Dahan area is relatively wide, things that cannot be grown here in Guanzhong are not impossible to grow in Hetao. , and all kinds of nuts!Like walnuts and pistachios, which are good things.Therefore, now Fengyu's side has more and more types of snacks. Chen Ajiao likes to eat ready-made ones, but Fengyu prefers to do it herself, otherwise it will taste less delicious.

Chen Ajiao waited while the maid peeled a plate of melon seeds. Naturally, these are not sunflower seeds, but watermelon seeds. Watermelons these days are not sweet, and the taste is not as good as local melons. That is to say, the water content is not bad, and there are many melon seeds. Feng Yu After eating it, I was very disappointed with the watermelon, but since I can't eat the flesh, I can eat the seeds.Before the stir-fried dishes appeared, Feng Yu ate stir-fried melon seeds first.Chen Ajiao likes to eat melon seeds very much, but she thinks eating melon seeds is a bit indecent, so she always asks someone to peel the shells directly, eat melon seeds by herself, grab a handful of melon seeds and put them in her mouth, Chen Ajiao chews them a few times, and then swallows them After going down, she said: "I also think it's her. She knows a lot of things. It seems that the child in the Gouyi Palace is very unusual!" Even she knows who they are, so when she speaks privately, she will avoid those people, as if the person who is serving her now is prepared by Da Changqiu for Chen Ajiao back then, and one of them is even born She is just a mute, and she is the one who is giving Chen Ajiao seeds at the moment.Therefore, Chen Ajiao didn't have much scruples when speaking.

Feng Yu also screened the people around her long ago. She is sensitive to five senses and is good at interpreting micro-expressions. She was also sure that these people around her would not say anything to the outside world, so she said, "Who knows, but before, the emperor Mrs. Gouyi is very different, so it's no wonder Mrs. Zheng is targeting Mrs. Gouyi! Besides, Mrs. Gouyi has some ideas. Others can at most talk about what they dreamed. Anyway, there is no proof of death. In the end, she directly wanted to conceive a sage!" As she said that, Feng Yu couldn't help curling her lips. If it wasn't for Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Gouyi would have succeeded. It's outrageous!

Chen Ajiao didn't know what was going to happen next, she just looked at Mrs. Zheng's reaction, and knew that Mrs. Gouyi was the final winner. However, Chen Ajiao also thought that Mrs. Zheng was stupid. If Liu Che really made up her mind, even if she didn't The ones surnamed Zhao, the ones surnamed Sun, and the ones surnamed Li, can she solve them all?Moreover, even if Mrs. Gouyi is really solved, are those other princes and kings all stupid?She thought that without Mrs. Guyi's son, it would be her own child's turn?Is there anything special about Mrs. Zheng's child?Mrs. Zheng's two sons were not very old when they entered the feudal domain. It's hard to say what the children of such age will look like when they arrive in the fiefdom.In the past, whether it was Liu Dan, Liu Xu, or Liu Mao, they were all relatively intelligent when they were in Chang'an, and most of them were considered wise when they came to the fief, but how long has it been?

Most of them were still half-grown teenagers when they entered the feudal clan. According to the saying at this time, they were still boys. At this age, can you expect them to settle down early?When I was in Chang'an, I needed to consider Liu Che's father's perception, but when it came to Fengguo, the only ones who could influence them were the Taifu and the Prime Minister, but although these people shouldered the responsibility of monitoring the princes and kings, they generally would not be fine. Looking for trouble, because if the princes really do something, they will also take the blame.Therefore, as long as everything the princes and kings do is within the scope allowed by the rules, then even if they are a little absurd, no one will care.Even, the possibility that the princes and kings colluded with Taifu cannot be ruled out.Therefore, after the general princes and kings arrived in the fief, if they did not have enough self-restraint ability, then they soon realized that, as the masters of the feudal country, although they were not able to do whatever they wanted, they were almost there.This kind of power without obvious constraints, how many people can control themselves?Those emperors who came to the throne at a young age may still need to be trembling because of the oppression of powerful ministers and relatives, but these princes and kings don't need to think about it at all, because there is a court behind them, so over time, you can imagine what they will become .It can be said that Huo Qubing's strategy of asking the princes to become kings and vassals through his military exploits has been successful, because apart from Liu Ju who stayed in Chang'an, he has been in constant contact with the political affairs of the court. Even if there is a problem with his political stance, he at least has a normal Political thinking, but for other princes and kings, it's really hard to say.Governing the vassal state is the job of the prime minister, and it would be nice if they can not add chaos.Under such circumstances, why does Mrs. Zheng think that her child can maintain the xinxing she had when she was still in Chang'an?

Chen Ajiao can think of this level because she has been in contact with too many people and affairs over the years. Even though she doesn't care about these things on the surface, she has banquets almost once or twice a month. During the pilgrimage, there were also princes and kings who came to support her, so she actually had a wide range of sources of information. Sometimes those noble ladies only shared some gossip, but after Chen Ajiao came back and talked with Feng Yu, she could always analyze something Now, coupled with the education given to her by Empress Dowager Dou back then, she has acquired considerable political literacy over time. Therefore, in her eyes, none of the few people in the palace now have the strength to become a queen mother.

Wei Zifu, barely qualified, that's because Liu Ju is already an adult, and she only needs to be red-faced in the future, but the more troublesome thing is that Liu Ju himself is not very qualified, his buttocks are completely crooked.Since Liu Bang became the emperor, the old Liu family has been able to stabilize the basic market by fighting against the powerful and supporting small and medium landlords. Perseverance, in the saying of later generations, is to support the middle class. If the number of the middle class occupies the mainstream of society, then the country can develop healthily.Chen Ajiao didn't understand this truth for the time being, but she knew that Liu Ju had been trained by Gu Liang to take the position of a powerful landlord and felt that he should govern the world together with this class. What about ordinary people?Without the support of the imperial court, how could they have played against those powerful landlords?

Therefore, Chen Ajiao seems heartless now, but she is actually really worried about the future of the big man. After all, the existing successors are unreliable, and the backup candidates seem to be unreliable. Now she suddenly realized that, Why in the end, Mrs. Gouyi's son had the last laugh, because the other princes who had already been established were obviously not enough to entrust the community, so Liu Che had to choose the youngest son and teach him again.

"Hmph, if I knew this earlier, why did I do it in the first place!" Chen Ajiao grabbed another handful of melon seeds, but put them into her mouth one by one, muttering to herself.Over the years, if Liu Che had taught Liu Shi well, and if he found signs of crookedness in Liu Ju, he would straighten it out with thunderous means, or even leave a few princes behind and observe and teach slowly, then he would not fall into the trap. Later, he could only choose the embarrassing situation of a young son.As a result, at this juncture, I was not too young, and found that Liu Zheng was completely crooked, and the other sons also had various shortcomings, so I could only catch them blind.

However, under such circumstances, if the young envoy Zhao gave birth to a son, he might really become the winner, but it's hard to say what will happen to young envoy Zhao.

Chen Ajiao can only think about how the world of the big man is. Afterwards, she put aside this idea, and she is not in her position. Liu Che is the emperor, and he should care about this matter. It has something to do with her. what relationship.As a result, Chen Ajiao found that she didn't know Liu Che well enough. Eight months later, Liu Che brought a newborn baby to Nagato Palace.
