Chapter 339: 2 Months Pregnant
Chapter 339: 2 Months Pregnant
"Royal heir? What royal heir?" The Grand Empress Dowager cried out in shock and anger. The Empress Dowager also looked confused.
However, in Ji Nai's opinion, the Empress Dowager's confusion was genuine, but the Grand Empress Dowager's surprise was not necessarily genuine.
The queen taunted, "Why are you playing dumb, Grand Empress Dowager? I'm already two months pregnant."
"Ridiculous. I was afraid that there would be a concubine in the palace who was pregnant but didn't know it, and carelessly harmed the royal heir, so I ordered the imperial physician to come to check the pulse regularly and report any good news immediately, without hiding anything. And you, because of your illness, the imperial physician came to Kunning Palace every day. If you were really pregnant, how could I not know."
The Empress Dowager looked at the Queen suspiciously, "Could it be that you deliberately concealed the news?"
When the Queen heard the Grand Empress Dowager's first words, her expression became a little unnatural. She could naturally hear the Grand Empress Dowager's sarcasm. After all, the so-called "carelessness" was all her own doing.
However, if the Queen was worried about the attack on the heir long ago, she would have collapsed long ago. What she cared about more was that the Grand Empress Dowager seemed to be really unaware of this matter.
Originally, the Queen thought it was her fault, so even though the child was the Emperor's legitimate son, he was not taken seriously by the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager, and were even ignored.
For so long, the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace had not taken any action. Today, the Empress Dowager came to search the palace with great fanfare, without any regard for the royal heir. She thought they did not want to keep the child, so when she supported Nanny Zheng just now, she hinted to them to make a big deal out of it.
The more people know, the safer you and your children will be.
But it seems that things are not what she thought? The queen always feels that something is wrong, but she can't figure out what the problem is for a while.
Originally, the Queen's body was already full of wounds, and she had used secret medicine to force herself to get pregnant. She was extremely weak and frightened. Now her confrontation with the Grand Empress Dowager was just a forced effort to cheer herself up, so the Queen's thoughts were led by the Grand Empress Dowager.
"Some time ago, when the imperial physician came to check my pulse, he discovered that I was pregnant, so he immediately sent people to the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace to announce the good news. The imperial physician can confirm this."
The Empress Dowager said solemnly: "Come, go get the imperial physician!"
"No need."
When they heard the voice, they looked and found that it was Kangxi who came, and they all bowed and greeted him.
After Kangxi greeted the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, he explained: "This is just as Hesheli said, but I blocked the news."
"Your Majesty!" The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi disapprovingly, "This is about the heir to the throne, how can you be so disrespectful? Besides, this is your legitimate son."
Kangxi said indifferently: "This child is not born gloriously, but he is still a legitimate son, and I..."
The Empress Dowager said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Looking at the Empress Dowager who firmly opposed him, Kangxi touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. After all, she is my own flesh and blood. I just don't want to cause trouble."
The Empress Dowager was very displeased, "So, the Emperor is on guard against me?"
Kangxi immediately explained: "Why does the Royal Grandmother think so? I just...ah, I am afraid that this child will follow in Chenghu's footsteps."
Hearing Chenghu's name, the Empress Dowager's attitude softened immediately and she sighed, "It's all retribution!"
The Queen felt that the words of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager were like heavy slaps in the face, causing pain in her face and heart.
Seeing that the situation was not right, a concubine said, "Even if the Queen is really pregnant with the heir, the matter of Yi Lanhua is true. It concerns His Majesty, how can we let her go?"
This person was one of the concubines who was lucky enough to be pregnant with the royal heir but lost the child due to carelessness. She did not want to see the queen escape the death penalty, and even more did not want to see her safely give birth to a legitimate son, so she spoke hurriedly, but did not notice that the people around her slowly moved away from her after she spoke.
Yilan flower was exactly what Kangxi was most reluctant to mention. This person just happened to touch his reverse scale. Kangxi immediately scolded him: "I am talking to the Empress Dowager, why are you butting in? It's impolite!"
Kangxi looked at the huge crowd again, his eyes fell on Ji Nai in front, paused for a few seconds, and then quickly walked away, impatiently saying, "Go back to your own palaces."
No matter how unwilling everyone is, what can they do?
Before leaving, someone said to Ji Nai and Hui Concubine in an ambiguous tone: "What a pity! I thought we could finally get justice today. But it is also true that the Queen's son is not comparable to other princes after all."
Everyone knows that in the palace nowadays, only Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui have princes. The provocative intention in these words is too obvious.
After everyone left, Huipin snorted coldly, "Now all kinds of monsters and demons in this palace dare to plot against me."
"Although you and I were promoted because of our sons, I'm sure you understand that it's more because Hesheli was too much, so someone needs to suppress him. Otherwise, if you look at the concubines besides you and me, you will know how stingy His Majesty is with positions."
Huipin looked at Ji Nai strangely. Sometimes she really felt that Ma Jia and she were from the same hometown, but after many attempts, the other party did not reveal any flaws.
In particular, her idea that it was natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines made Huipin extremely uncomfortable. How could someone who really came from the same background as her, especially a woman, accept this theory so calmly?
But every time, just when Huipin had put aside her doubts, Ma Jia's uniqueness would arouse her doubts again, just like now.
In history, Kangxi was indeed stingy with positions in the early days. Even the famous Empress Xiaozhaoren and Empress Xiaoyiren were only concubines in the early days. Of course, they were concubines who enjoyed the position of concubine, just like Borjigit.
However, when the six palaces were conferred titles for the first time, the two of them were directly promoted from concubines at the lowest level to concubines.
Thinking of the first grand appointment of concubines in the harem, Huipin suddenly had an epiphany. Could it be that Ma Jia had heard some news from Kangxi, or learned the news from other channels, so she wanted to form an alliance with her.
After all, none of the two future queens who entered the palace later, as well as Uya and Guoluo, were good people. Niuhulu and Tongjia had not given birth yet, and myself and Majia, who had princes, would become thorns in their eyes no matter how you looked at it.
Huipin smiled kindly at Ji Nai, "Sister, you are very thoughtful. Today I finally figured it out. We are the only two people in the palace who have children and positions. Naturally, we should fight the enemy together."
Although Ji Nai didn't understand what Huipin had figured out, he didn't refuse and gave her a nod and a smile in return.
Huipin left with satisfaction. Looking at her back, Yuan Xu asked in confusion, "No, why is she so inexplicable? And, did you just form an alliance with her?"
