Chapter 619: The Queen's Troubles
There are not many concubines in Chu Moyang's harem and do not work hard, so there are not many descendants.
The queen had nothing to come out. Concubine Shu gave birth to the eldest son Chu Zheng, and Concubine Jing gave birth to the princess Chu Yan, one three years old and the other two years old.
Chu Moyang ordered the prince to be brought over to make the children familiar.
Chu Zheng could speak, but he didn't know it yet, so he called out two cousins.
Chu Yan was silly, but she could barely know that she was calling her cousin.
Yan Hong and Yan Yu were so happy that they were full of protection, and the four children quickly got together.
Chu Moyang looked around and smiled, but he still had political affairs to deal with, so he asked Mu Qingzhi to take care of them.
Before leaving, he asked Eunuch Qi to bring two exquisite jade locks carved from white jade and hang them on the Yan Hong brothers to express his feelings.
Chu Moyang is a wise man, who lets his biological mother raise the princess.
When Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing came to Phoenix Palace, you picked up the children, and naturally they saw the jade lock on their necks.
The two left without a hurry, and went to the side hall to talk to the queen. Listening to the children's laughter, they looked at each other and were in a bad mood.
"Empress, I didn't expect the emperor to reward them with this pair of jade locks." Shufei was sour, "I thought that the emperor kept this pair of jade locks, and wanted to reward the legitimate son born to the Empress in the future."
When she gave birth to Chu Zheng, she asked Chu Moyang for something to prepare for this piece of jade to keep the child safe.
But Chu Moyang did not agree, but instead gave her other rewards.
Unexpectedly, the jade piece now had a pair of jade locks and fell on the neck of King Ling's son.
How could she not be angry? Is her son the eldest son or Chu Moyang's biological son?
Mu Qingzhi frowned. She had been in the harem for a long time and could hear Concubine Shu's jealousy, so she looked light and said, "I will give you whoever the emperor likes to give you, so I will naturally not have any objection."
Jingpin is actually the same as Shufei. Although she gave birth to a princess, the emperor had few children, so she felt that the princess should also be valued.
She put on her mouth and said, "The Empress is the most tolerant, but the Empress is not worried. Will the Emperor be too fond of King Ling's son cause more trouble?"
When Mu Qingzhi plotted against Su Yinyue, they naturally heard about it. After all, Mu Qingzhi was still imprisoned for a while.
In addition, Mu Qingzhi is younger than them, so Jingpin naturally doesn’t have much respect for her words.
Why can't Mu Qingzhi hear what she meant? Isn't it just to let her be wary of it?
She touched the corner of her mouth and showed a sneer: "What are you worried about in this palace? I don't have a biological child, so I can't understand your feelings."
Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing choked, but they didn't expect that the queen was talking with thorns today, and she was no longer a soft persimmon.
"Empress, don't worry, the emperor often comes to your place, maybe the empress will have good news soon." said Shufei.
Jingpin nodded, "Yes, it will be useful to keep the two children by her side for a while, and the people say so."
Mu Qingzhi didn't care about this. She had been caring for a long time and could not bear it. She had long been indifferent.
She responded casually and dealt with it.
Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and said, "Empress, why not keep Your Highness by your side to raise it. Your Highness should follow the official mother of the palace."
After hearing this, Jingpin immediately glared at Concubine Shu, thinking that Concubine Shu had such a great ambition!
This is because the queen cannot give birth to a son, so she wants Chu Zheng to keep it under the queen's knees. In the future, it will be legitimate!
Mu Qingzhi lowered her eyes and remembered Chu Zheng's little face. Chu Zheng followed Shufei's temperament and had some ambitions and was not very well-behaved, so she naturally didn't like it very much.
"Your Highness has been following you. He will be unhappy when he comes to this palace." Mu Qingzhi refused, "The emperor asked your biological mother to raise him. This is your grace. Are you going to let the emperor down?"
Concubine Shu's face froze and she quickly stood up: "I'm afraid, I don't mean that, I'm just thinking..."
"Since that's the case, don't mention it anymore." Mu Qingzhi interrupted her.
Concubine Shu looked embarrassed and said nothing else.
Jingpin looked at Concubine Shu with gloating. The two of them didn't get any benefits, so they took their children back to the palace. After all, they had to attend the palace banquet later, so they had to go back and prepare.
A nanny took Yan Hong and the others to wash, and Mu Qingzhi also had to start preparing. After all, she was the queen of the palace and there were still many things to arrange.
While wearing makeup, Mu Qingori remembered something and said, "By the way, I made two small sachets before. Take it out and I will give it to the children later."
"Did the Empress give it to the young master of Prince Ling's Mansion?" asked the aunt in charge.
Mu Qingzhi nodded slightly.
The aunt in charge responded first, then said: "Empress, what Concubine Shu said just now is reasonable. Looking at the emperor's appearance, she seems to attach great importance to the two young masters. The empress also knows what happened before. The emperor values friendship and may... Empress, you have to get pregnant quickly."
King Ling is unwilling to be the emperor of Daqi, but it does not mean that his son is unwilling. What's more, King Ling has two sons, one person and one throne, so there is no need to fight for it.
Mu Qingzhi subconsciously looked at her belly and her eyes faded a little: "I have no fate with children, so there is no way to do it. It is not impossible for the emperor to have such an idea. It is the emperor who has the final say."
"How can this be done!" The aunt in charge became anxious. "Since that's the case, the Empress might as well bring the Lord Highness to the side to raise him. Even if the Empress doesn't like the Lord Highness, when the other concubines give birth to the prince, the Empress can still carry the prince over. This is better than that idea."
Mu Qingzhi seemed to be thinking and didn't speak for a long time.
Later, Yan Hong and Yan Yu finished washing, put on clean brocade robes, and ran in happily.
Yan Yu ate something delicious at Mu Qingzhi last night, but forgot his previous grudges. Seeing Mu Qingzhi beautiful and noble, he whispered: "Second Aunt, you are so beautiful!"
Mu Qingzhi smiled all over her eyebrows and said gently: "Is that so? Yu'er is really good at talking."
Yan Yu simply asked, "Can I eat the honey crispy I ate yesterday? Today?"
Yan Hong was speechless, pulled Yan Yu's sleeve and reminded: "Mom said that if you eat so much sugar all day, you will easily get tooth decay."
"It's okay. Just rinse your mouth well after eating. I have added this pastry to the palace banquet. Yu'er will be able to eat it later."
Mu Qingzhi glanced at the aunt in charge, and the aunt in charge immediately understood and took out the two small sachets, which were festive red, embroidered with bats, meaning peace and happiness.
"This is embroidered by my second aunt, with mosquito repellent spices and a peace talisman. Second aunt hopes you will be safe and happy in the future." Mu Qingzhi said.
