Chapter 44 The Dowager's Doubt

When Mr. Qu left, the Empress Dowager asked Princess Wen: "Do you think...is the young..."

As she spoke, she wanted to stop talking. Princess Wen had been prepared for a long time and said with a smile, "Mu Guangyou doesn't know whether it's a man or a woman!"

"She is so enthusiastic, I'm afraid she is probably a prince?" The Empress Dowager Gao said thoughtfully, "It's okay to say that Mu's origin is not bad. Except that she is not the daughter of a family, Mu Qi's official position is not low. Why is she so big? I don't know when it started?"

Princess Wen said, "I'm afraid Mu Guangyu didn't think much about it, otherwise, what would she do in the palace at the beginning? It's not easy to bump on this road.

Empress Dowager Gao snorted coldly: "Do you know that she has been pregnant for a long time, so she deliberately went to the palace... Hey, people as shrewd by He had given birth in the palace before. She has not done anything to murder her children in the past two years, but has she done less to frame the imperial concubine? After all, I feel guilty! That's why I dare not give birth in the palace!"

Seeing that Princess Wen hesitated, Empress Dowager Gao said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly."

"I thought of the words that the emperor's eldest son said when he was born." Princess Wen said.

The Empress Dowager Gao said, "Huh?"

"At the beginning, it was said that your majesty's children responded to a sentence, saying that they bloom first and then bear fruit. Since there are three princesses in the palace, the eldest son of the emperor will not be alone for too long. I didn't expect this to come true now - if Muguang is really a prince in his stomach!"

Empress Dowager Gao listened and softened his face: "Sanlang's prince is indeed too few!"

She thought for a moment and sighed again: "Why are these people pregnant? Even though the young and Cui are not favored, there are many low-level concubines who are favored. When it comes to little He Shifu, they are not so favored!"

"The heir is a blessing, how can it be if there are many favors?" Princess Wen smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the Empress Dowager's resent me. Let me talk about our situation at that time - the one in Hongshou Palace now, how could he not be favored in those years? But after so many years, she has been just a princess. It can be seen that blessing is not something that people can force.

Of course, what she said was Princess Bo. The Empress Dowager Gao sneered and said, "She is blessed even if she doesn't have a son!"

"The blessing is profound and not everyone can afford it!" Princess Wen said with a smile, "Just like Sun, what she relies on most is beauty, but now the following Shunhua, how can she be worse than her? There are also cold and elegant as Gao Jieyu, heroic as Ye Ronghua. The new women and royal daughters who have entered the palace are all good colors and considerate and gentle. Even if she gave birth to a prince, what can she do? What's more, the empress dowager has always been the most sympathetic to the emperor's heir. The world knows that You Zhaoyi is not talented, and there is nothing to talk about. It's okay for the princess to raise her. Isn't the prince... just a companion for the eldest son?

Empress Dowager Gao squeezed her lips. She also felt that Sun's out of favor could not be saved by giving birth to a prince, so she said, "She was born in the palace, and now there are still two or three months left - but the one in the palace... Hey, what the young man said is ridiculous! She can tell us privately in the Yi Hall that Mu is afraid of several man-made disasters in the palace and dares not go back to the palace to give birth, but can this be told outside?

"I have an idea." Princess Wen said, "She didn't find out that she was pregnant until she arrived at the palace, but because she was not aware of it before, she was inconvenient to move, so she had to stay in the palace to give birth."

"Do you think you should follow her?" The Empress Dowager Gao was unhappy and said, "Isn't she too indulgent?"

Princess Wen smiled and said, "I'm not condoning her, but I'm just thinking about your majesty's children and the Empress Dowager's smile often!"

When Empress Dowager Wen said so, Empress Dowager Gao thought about it, but she still didn't like it: "There has never been such a rule..."

"Aren't the Empress Dowager still thinking about Zuo Zhaoyi?" Princess Wen smiled and said, "Isn't it just an opportunity now?"

"Hmm?"

"Although I don't know whether Mu Guangyu's middle son is male or female now, Zuo Zhaoyi speaks for her like this. The Empress Dowager thinks that most of them are princes, and I also think so." Princess Wen smiled and said, "If you want to talk about what happened in those years, Zuo Zhaoyi was indeed wronged. In recent years, except for being instigated by You Zhaoyi and others to plead guilty, your majesty has never been to the Hualuo Hall. Zuo Zhaoyi is also lonely in this palace. Otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager raise Princess Changkang to her?"

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "You know that the mourning family doesn't love her, but there are some things that you can all rely on her if you don't love her!"

"Speaking of which, although Zuo Zhaoyi is the daughter of the Qu family, she has often entered the palace since childhood and grew up with the eldest princess Xuanning. Speaking of which, she also grew up with the Empress Dowager." Princess Wen whispered, "If you want me to say, the Empress Dowager is not much worse than the eldest princess Xuanning! Of course, Zuo Zhaoyi is also loved, but... After all, Zuo Zhaoyi's surname is Qu!"

The Empress Dowager Gao said, "My family is worried about this!" What do you want to do to support yourself? Are you only willing to give Changkang to the young dragonfly? One is that the young man is young, and he has never been raised. He can't take care of him. Instead, he made Sanlang blame her! The second is that I'm afraid that the Qu family will have thoughts that they shouldn't have!"

Speaking of this, she sighed and said helplessly, "After all, Sanlang is young. Every time I think of the entrustment of the previous emperor, I can't help but think more about him!"

After all, the Empress Dowager Gao still refused to say that Ji Shen neglected the government, but blamed Ji Shen for being young. Princess Wen would not expose her, but smiled in her heart. In addition to the two reasons why the Empress Dowager Gao wanted to raise Ji Hui in person, there was another reason, that is, to worry about the future of the Gao family. !

According to the rules of having a direct descendant and no direct parent, the eldest son has an advantage in the position of prince in the future of Ji Shen. What's more, he is raised by the empress dowager herself. Compared with other princes, he is naturally noble. The eldest son of the emperor was raised by the empress dowager Gao, and his biological mother is only from a humble background and is still only a palace concubine. If you are the crown prince in the future, you can imagine who you will prefer!

Princess Wen also guessed that the Empress Dowager thought so after listening to Shan that Zuo Zhaoyi promised to take care of the matter. Now she said, "Please think about it, Mu Guangyi wants to stay in the palace in order to be able to give birth safely. Although she asked Zuo Zhaoyi for this reason, why not ask others? It's just that she also knows that the favorite person in this palace is Zuo Zhaoyi, not that she is close to Zuo Zhaoyi!"

The Empress Dowager Gao muttered, "You mean..."

"The Empress Dowager also said that Mu Guangyu's birth is not very low among the concubines in the palace. Now she just asked Zuo Zhaoyi to come and say something. How can she be willing to return her easily obtained children to Zuo Zhaoyi's name? Besides, she is the head of the nine concubines, and she is not qualified to raise the prince. How can she vote for Zuo Zhaoyi like this? Princess Wen smiled and said, "If the empress dowager must have brought her back, she is uncertain, which makes it easy for the emperor's heir to have an accident. Second, if the empress dowager does not allow her, she must be closer and closer to Zuo Zhaoyi, but it is easier for her to get close to Zuo Zhaoyi! It's better for the empress dowager to give her permission. How can Mu Guangyu not know how can she be allowed to give birth in the palace with Zuo Zhaoyi? It must be the Empress Dowager's kindness!"

Princess Wen said slowly, "With the kindness of the Empress Dowager, will Mu Guangyou still give up near and far to follow Zuo Zhaoyi?"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Gao was still a little hesitant, the Empress Dowager Wen smiled gently: "Zuo Zhaoyi is the empress dowager who grew up. Her Majesty is also the beloved son of the Empress Dowager. The royal family takes the world as his home. This crown prince candidate can only follow the meaning of one person and two people. The Empress Dowager not only loves your majesty and loves Zuo Zhaoyi, but I don't want to be sad on both sides. Therefore, I feel that if the empress dowager gives permission to Mu Guangyou, look back, Mu Guangyou will be close to the empress dowager and estranged from Zuo Zhaoyi. Zuo Zhaoyi knows that she will not do anything to embarrass the empress do... After all, many things have happened that have happened. The best way It's better to prevent problems before they happen!"

Empress Dowager Gao was finally persuaded and nodded, "That's right! Youqi is a smart person. Although the mourning family doesn't know why she is helping the Mu family speak like this now,... the matter of the crown prince is not something that the harem concubines can interfere with!"

After thinking about it, she added, "Although Mu thinks that her body can give birth on the mountain, she still has to rest for a few more days after giving birth before returning to the palace to avoid falling ill!"

Princess Wen was stunned - the Empress Dowager Gao felt that she would not force Mu Biwei to be completely forgotten by Ji Shen. I'm afraid that Mu Biwei will make waves again in the palace! Therefore, she was worried that the time for production and the full moon of the emperor's heir was not enough for Ji to forget her. She had to delay for a while, and even the excitement of the birth of the emperor's heir was over, so she was allowed to return to the palace...

Princess Wen is worried about Mu Biwei, but now she can't continue to talk, so as not to be suspicious, she has to remember it in her heart and secretly think that she will find an opportunity in the future and have to ask the Empress Dowager to give up this idea...
