[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 8 mourning the death of 19

"What did you say?" Xu Hui's eyes widened upon hearing this, "What Concubine Xiao Shu?"

Wu Xu quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no... I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue... Hahaha..."

When people in later generations talk about Queen Wang, they will inevitably mention her rival, Concubine Xiao Shu, so now that little sister Xu mentions the Lanling Xiao family, Wu Xu's first reaction is um...'Concubine Xiao Shu'==

I didn't expect Sister Xiao to appear so early...

However, isn't the Xiao family of Lanling the descendants of the Qi and Liang royal families?

Unexpectedly, Sister Xiao has such a big background =. =

No wonder she was able to fight evenly with such a prominent queen as Wang, and almost killed her...

"By the way... how old is that young lady of the Xiao family?" Wu Xu continued to gossip.

Xu Hui thought for a while and said, "12 years old..."

"Pfft—" This time it was Wu Xu's turn to spray water.

12 years old? !

Isn't that about the same age as Li Mingda?

In November of the 17th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin asked Concubine Wei's palace to choose two fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, Yang Shi and Li Shi, who seemed to have good births, to serve in the East Palace;

A month later, His Majesty Li Er chose the daughters of the Mingmen family to serve in the East Palace in the name of the lack of ladies around the prince.

After careful screening, Li Shimin finally settled on the young ladies of Lanling Xiao and Jingzhao Wei.

The two young ladies were only twelve or thirteen years old, and they were canonized as Liang Di as soon as they entered the East Palace. They were only a head shorter than the Crown Princess Wang Shi, and they were full of pride.

The backyard of the East Palace has never been peaceful again...

but! !

Without the Crown Prince's East Palace, no matter how messy the backyard is, there is no use! !

Li Er, you are really a second-hand emperor!

Surrounding Li Xiaojiu all day, and blaming his wife and concubine for not being able to give birth to a baby, is this stupid or stupid or stupid...

Wu Xu has always wanted to complain about this.

Obviously, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs also had the same idea as Wu Xu.

So, the censors of justice began to spray people again, this time it was still His Majesty Li Er, and the content of the spray was: Saint, please let the prince go back to live in the East Palace, please...

You criticize your daughter-in-law for not having a baby, but you also have to create the necessary conditions and provide time for others to have a baby...

Later, Lian Changsun Wuji also euphemistically mentioned this issue to His Majesty Li Er in private.

Under the strong request of the courtiers, His Majesty Li Er made a difficult decision, ordering the crown prince to live half of the time in the East Palace and half of the time in the Qianqiu Palace every month...

In this way, it not only satisfies His Majesty Li Er's nearby guidance on his son's professional level, but also satisfies his son's need to have a younger sister and give him a grandson.

Li Zhi didn't complain, he ran back and forth between the East Palace and the Qianqiu Palace twice a month.

When returning to the East Palace on the first day, Mrs. Wang led a group of concubines to hold a grand welcome ceremony.

At the banquet, Li Zhi also showed Wang's face very much, instead of having a good time drinking and laughing away all grievances, he stayed in Cheng'en Hall to rest that night.

His Majesty Li Er was very happy to be reconciled with the young couple the next day.

When he was happy, Li Shimin ordered people to select a few popular Kabuki from the teaching workshop, trained them and sent them to the East Palace...

Wang was so angry that she grabbed several pieces of silk and had to make a special trip to the palace to thank the saint and father-in-law for the reward. She was so aggrieved that she died.

Well, although Li Zhi loves music and dancing very much, he is not interested in these beauties who come out of the workshop. He always asks them to perform and forbids them to dedicate themselves, so Wang is relieved.

This is something.

On the second day after Li Zhi returned to the East Palace, he went to sit in the two palaces of Emperor Liang respectively for a while, but he didn't stay overnight—it was obvious that Li Xiaojiu had no interest in Little Lolita.

On the contrary, Li Zhi took special care of the palace servants Yang and Li.

The two of them don't have status yet, so according to the case when Liu Shi and Zheng Shi first entered the Prince Jin's Mansion, they each arranged a small courtyard.

Li Zhi made a special trip to take a look to make sure that Wang did not abuse the two of them.

In return, Li Zhi stayed at the Wang family's place to rest for three consecutive nights after returning to the East Palace, which was regarded as giving Wang's princess enough face-as for whether the two of them did something inappropriate for children, it is unknown up.

In the following days, five or six out of ten times, Li Zhi went to rest in Liu's and Zheng's yards.

Liu and Zheng are the only two people so far who have given birth to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is understandable for Li Zhi to be closer to them.

Moreover, who doesn't know that Mrs. Liu has an eldest son, and Mrs. Zheng is very fond of the crown prince even though she only has one daughter. A while ago, the lady of the Eastern Palace died, but there was a lot of trouble, and the crown princess was all eaten because of it...

Why did His Majesty Li Er suddenly give people to the East Palace? Isn't it because the Crown Princess has no heirs so far.

The prince has always been known as a kind person, if they are pregnant with his heirs, their future will be limitless...

Liu and Zheng are good examples, aren't they?

Which of the people is not eager to try?

Especially Yang Shi and Li Shi, who entered the palace, tried their best. After staying alone for a few days, His Royal Highness succeeded in buying the servants around him, and entered the study to serve...

Following the success of Yang and Li, Zheng also made a move...

God knows, His Royal Highness said that she was resting in the yard, that is literally 'resting'!

Ever since her aunt died, Zheng felt like the whole sky was falling...

She was in so much pain that she cried so hard, but no one paid any attention to her—the Crown Princess Wang only cared about clarifying herself in front of the sage and the prince, and restoring her image. Others were jealous that she gave birth to a daughter, and the prince valued others. Who wouldn't secretly laugh, gloat.

In the end, Mrs. Liu quietly came to comfort her...

Tell her that the child is gone, no matter how heartbroken it is, it is better to think about the future...

Mrs. Zheng knew that Mrs. Liu was an honest person, and she spoke very honestly, without any cynicism or innuendo.

Correct!

The child is gone, it can be regenerated!

If people are crippled, then there will be nothing...

But Mrs. Zheng is still a child now, how could she recommend herself as a pillow like Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li...

However, Zheng also has his own way.

Compared with Liu Shi and even Wang Shi, Zheng Shi is really a smart woman. She has not been with Li Zhi for a long time, but she has already discovered that he is actually quite soft in heart, and she will be especially sympathetic to weak and weak people.

Therefore, Mrs. Zheng didn't make any detours, and just knelt and cried in front of Li Zhi on the day of Li Zhi's arrival, expressing how much she missed her, and didn't say anything else...

"Get up..." Li Zhi stretched out his hand to help Zheng Shi, and Zheng Shi stood up gracefully, looking like pear blossoms with rain, which made people feel pity.Xiao Shunzi and the others tactfully avoided going to a farther place.

"Don't worry, Gu won't treat you badly..." Li Zhi waved his hand and asked Mrs. Zheng to sit on the table beside the couch.

"Gu is a little busy these days, and I can't take care of you. If you... have something to say, just say it..." Li Zhi is not stupid, just looking at Zheng's cautious look, he knows that she must have something to ask for.

Mrs. Zheng sat with her body crossed at one side, lowered her head and said softly, "Your lord is so virtuous, how can I dare to ask extravagantly?"

"It's just...now that my concubine just thinks of my aunt..." Mrs. Zheng began to sob again as she spoke.

"Ma'am, I will give you an explanation..." Li Zhi's expression turned cold.

Mrs. Zheng raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes were full of panic, she immediately knelt on the ground and shook her head, "No, no, no...Your Majesty, don't want it! A concubine is just a lowly person, not worth it...All aunts are unlucky, woo..."

"My concubine doesn't ask for anything... I just ask my husband to give me another child..." After Zheng finished speaking, she began to weep silently.

Li Zhi heard the words, but did not speak,

Mrs. Zheng knelt on the ground quietly, her heart getting heavier and heavier. Just when she thought that there was no hope for her begging, she heard Li Zhi sighing from above: "Okay, Gu promises you..."

Three months later, Donggong Zheng was diagnosed with pregnancy again.

His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, and soon learned through special channels that Mrs. Zheng was begging Li Zhishi that day, and also found out Mrs. Zheng was playing some tricks along the way.

Therefore, Li Shimin sighed quietly to his eldest grandson Wuji who was summoned by him again to drink tea in Ganlu Hall: "You persuaded me to establish Jiulang, so I established Jiulang, but he is so benevolent and weak, how can he be better in the future..." Even a woman dares to plot against him, what should I do if I become an emperor in the future╮╭

Changsun Wuji didn't understand what His Majesty Li Er was up to, and said flatly: "Jiulang is still young, he is just beginning to take charge of the universe, so he is inevitably cowardly... Rest assured, the humble minister has observed that Jiulang has been managing politics in a very orderly manner recently. Given time, You will definitely be able to be a king who defends the city!"

Changsun Wuji is not like Li Shimin, who always blames every son for perfection, wishing that all his sons are both civil and military, unparalleled in morality and wisdom!

He has already seen that it is impossible for Jiulang to be ruthless and hard-hearted like his two elder brothers Chengqian or Li Tai. It would be nice for that child to be the king of the city...

This is why Changsun Wuji valued Li Zhi so much. It would be easier to assist a generous and benevolent monarch than to serve a strong and cold-blooded emperor, right?

Therefore, no matter how cowardly Li Zhi behaved, Changsun Wuji would not feel that there was anything wrong.

"Yeah... Jiulang is indeed too young..." His Majesty Li Er suddenly seemed to have suddenly realized, and murmured: "It's all my fault..."

"Saint!" Changsun Wuji felt anxious when he saw Li Shimin's expression was wrong.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er suddenly said at this moment: "Wu Wang is old, Ying Guo is like me, if he is established, what do you think?"

Changsun Wuji almost vomited blood when he heard the words.

Nima, who was holding the sword to die or live? It must be Likuro?

Now he actually said such a thing!

"Is the saint joking?! Or do you think that the crown prince can be replaced at will?" Changsun Wuji laughed back angrily.

What's wrong with Kuro?

Why do you want to hurt him like this? !

His Majesty Li Er didn't know whether he was dead or alive, but upon hearing the words, he asked Changsun Wuji resentfully, "Is it because San Lang is not your own nephew that you object so much?"

We have reason to believe that one day, His Majesty Li Er will pay a heavy price for his words!

The author has something to say: don't tease your brother-in-law at will~~
