Chapter 2280 Charms
The capital in May looks like a big oven, and it looks very stuffy.
Longqing's body became more and more obese. Now facing such a scorching heat and often staying in Xiyuan overnight, he simply moved to Xiyuan to escape the summer heat, and continued his extravagant and extremely desireful emperor life.
Empress Chen has been pregnant for ten months and has been staying in Kunning Palace to maintain her fetus.
After being invited by Longqing, he looked at the Forbidden City as if it was really like a big steamer that made people breathless, but no matter whether Longqing was sincere or false, he immediately chose to move to Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan.
Yuxi Palace was a temporary residence in Jiajing when Wanshou Palace was burned. Longqing lived here all these years when he came to Xiyuan, especially close to Taiye Pond, so this palace is a very good choice.
A breeze blows across the lake, gently swaying the weeping willows by the lake. The green islands in the lake present the lake and the mountains, which is already a place suitable for summer vacation.
Wu Qiuyu and Empress Chen have always had a close relationship. After learning that Empress Chen has moved to Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan, she also took the initiative to visit her.
Queen Chen's belly is already very big and has many inconveniences to walk. In addition, the weather outside is very hot, so she also lie on the head of the bed to meet Wu Qiuyu.
Tang Su'er sent some irrelevant people away, and stood in front of the bed waiting for instructions.
Wu Qiuyu talked about family matters with Empress Chen like usual. When she learned that Longqing had not come to visit her recently, she deliberately told her childbirth condition and said: "I went back to my hometown in Jiangxi when I gave birth to Hu'er. My husband was not there at that time.
My heart is also very empty!"
"I heard that Mr. Lin wrote letters to you a lot at that time, for fear that you have poor appetite, so he specially arranged for famous chefs from the capital to cook for you!" Empress Chen knew that Wu Qiuyu's production was indeed separated from Lin Qingran.
But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Wu Qiuyu didn't want to show her love in front of Queen Chen, but she deliberately said: "My husband had no children at that time, so I'm afraid he was more interested in the Lin family!"
"Haha...Ai family sees that Mr. Lin is not such a person. Ai family remembers that you always complain that Mr. Lin does not love you and Yingrong's son!" Empress Chen looked up at Wu Qiuyu, looking at him with a smile.
Kiss.
Wu Qiuyu actually knew that Lin Qingran was not the kind of man who treated her as a fertility tool, and said pertinently: "He doesn't love Hu'er, but his husband is becoming more and more like my father, and he looks like a piece in front of his children.
Bing made Hu Zi very apart from him, but now he always talks about his aunt every day!”
"Old Lin Ge is the prime minister who cares about the world! The situation today is getting better and better. This is due to Master Lin's hard work and great contributions. You can't force these things too much!" Empress Chen thought about Lin Junran's image, but
It means that it is very understanding and authentic.
Not many people can talk to her, except Wu Qiuyu, but only Hua Yingrong and Lin Pingchang were left. However, these women were related to Lin Qingran, and even Tang Suer, whom she trusted the most, had a lot to do with Lin Qingran.
The same is true. Although she didn't have much contact with Lin Xuran, she had already had a specific appearance for Lin Xuran.
Wu Qiurong did not forget that he wanted to forgive Queen Chen, so he followed Queen Chen's point of view and said: "I don't blame my husband, I just told you! Their men's minds are different from our women's family. They all want to work hard on the world.
Things don't care about our flesh and blood as much as we do."
Tang Su'er, who was standing next to her, sighed in her heart when she heard these words.
Although she didn't know what Lin Xuran was doing to Hu Zi, Long Qing only came here once in the past two months and stayed for a moment before leaving. She was indifferent to Empress Chen and his son.
The reason why many palace ladies in the harem stood on Concubine Li's side is related to Longqing's indifference.
Even the blind man could see that Longqing and Empress Chen had a bad relationship. He did not want Empress Chen to give birth to the emperor's legitimate son, but he hoped that the throne would be taken over by the eldest son Zhu Yijun.
That's right, Emperor Longqing and Mr. Lin are not the same as Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin may be the father who is cold outside and hot inside, but Longqing is cold from the inside to the outside.
"Qiuyu, you have been with the Ai family for a long time, and you still have to forgive the Ai family!" Empress Chen was a smart person, and immediately pointed at the bitter look on her face.
Wu Qiuyu saw that his little thoughts were pointed out, but she said without embarrassment: "All men in the world are like this, they all think about their men's affairs, but they rarely pay attention to our women's feelings! Only our women's family really put their own things.
Children should be the most precious thing. For the sake of the dragon in your belly, you should really relax your heart!"
"The Ai family knows that this matter will not cause any fetal aura!" Queen Chen's eyes flashed with determination, but nodded gently and agreed.
After years of cold war, especially now the emperor's indifference to her and the children in her belly, her heart has long been dead. In fact, if Long Qing does not appear in front of her, she will be in a better mood.
As for which new love Longqing is with, which beauty he recently gave jewelry, or where he drank and had fun all night tonight, these things have nothing to do with her.
Now she actually has only one idea. She will give birth to the baby in her belly, and whether it is a prince or a princess, she will do her best to take care of her.
Tang Su'er found that Queen Chen looked at her and asked her two confidant palace maids to guard the door.
Empress Chen no longer had family conversations with Wu Qiuyu, and said very seriously: "Qiuyu, the Ai family originally wanted someone to invite you to the palace today, but now you come in to visit the Ai family and save trouble. The Ai family has something to ask for!
"Queen, please tell me, the wife will do her best!" Wu Qiuyu knew that Empress Chen was not the one who spoke intentionally, and immediately cheered up and responded.
Tang Su'er looked up at Queen Chen at the head of the bed, and then respectfully handed a rune to Wu Qiuyu.
A hint of anger flashed across Queen Chen's face and said helplessly: "After the Ai family moved here, Tang Su'er also checked carefully, and found this talisman in the cracks in this bed!"
"Is this... a spell for giving birth to a girl?" Wu Qiuyu immediately stared at the sight of the spell and said in surprise.
Although this kind of curse will not kill anyone, it is already one of the most vicious curses for the Ming Dynasty and for Empress Chen herself.
Because it is related to the dragon species, no matter who is involved in this kind of thing, the royal family usually holds it responsible, and even implicates the nine clans.
Queen Chen's elegant and luxurious face looked very calm, and nodded gently and said, "Yes, this is the talisman of birth! This talisman is obviously a master-level thing that has been opened, but she doesn't want to be hidden by the traitor.
Here, I want the Ai family to give birth to a princess!”
As her belly bulged day by day, no one in the court dared to propose to confer the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun as the crown prince. Now countless eyes are staring at her belly in the world.
Once she gives birth to a princess, it will naturally undoubtedly affect the court; once she gives birth to the emperor's legitimate son, not to mention whether her son can inherit the throne in the future, at least the eldest son Zhu Yijun will find it difficult to ascend the crown prince.
I thought everything would have to wait for her to give birth to the baby in her belly before deciding, but I didn't expect that someone could not wait to put such a vicious talisman on her.
"Empress, who did this? Do you have any clues?" Wu Qiuyu knew that this was a taboo thing, so he asked seriously.
Queen Chen shook her head gently and said with a hint of resentment: "There is no clue to this matter. This is not Kunyu Palace after all, so I am afraid there is no way to investigate it in the palace! Ai family hopes that you will help investigate outside the palace and investigate it.
Once I checked the source of this talisman of giving birth to a girl, I want to know who is going to frame the Ai family!"
Although this kind of talisman of giving birth to a daughter is not a murder, it is indeed a kind of "framework" for Empress Chen, who needs to rely on her mother to be noble.
"Okay!" Although Wu Qiuyu didn't think that the spell of giving birth to a girl could be so effective, she still nodded seriously to agree.
Unlike ordinary officials' families, the Lin family has a very large intelligence network and money, even unlike the previous family of cabinet ministers.
If you really want to investigate the origin of the talisman of a girl, especially when you look at it, you will know that the talisman of a girl is from the master. It is not difficult to investigate.
In just two days, the matter has been investigated clearly.
A bright full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the entire capital seems to have fallen asleep. The main hall of the Lin House is showered in the light blue moonlight.
Wu Qiuyu is no longer the young and shy girl he was back then, but she resolutely became a generous first-class lady. She is becoming more and more attractive in her twenties, and her figure and face are more prominent.
The hairs of thousands of black are dense and soft, the two willow eyebrows are slender and gentle, the eyes are like autumn water, the bridge of the nose is high, and the teeth are lightly biting the lower lip, which has an indescribable temptation.
Wu Qiuyu and Lin Qingran are already old couples. They do many loving things on weekdays, but things are so wonderful, but their stomachs have not moved.
After a rain of clouds, Lin Qingran was also lying on the bed with a breath.
After several years of infertility, he also hoped that Wu Qiuyu could have another child, preferably a daughter. But no matter how hard he worked on Wu Qiuyu or Hua Yingrong, it has never ended.
Things seem to be just to follow God's will.
"My husband, I thought this was done by Concubine Li, but I didn't expect that the person who was seeking the talisman of the female survivor was the prince-in-law Li He!" Wu Qiuyu's pretty face was a little satisfied, and he pressed against Lin Yanran's arms and said softly.
.
"This is not surprising. Although the eldest princess is stupid and brainless, she does have some ambitions!" Lin Weiran's mouth raised slightly, and she looked very disdainful.
The princess of the Ming Dynasty were bound by ethics and even if they were extremely involuntary in marriage, they turned out to be strange figures like Ning'an.
Not to mention that she and the groom were not clear about it, she actually wanted to participate in the battle for the throne. Now she has created a talisman of birth to a daughter, and I really don’t know how to write the word “death”.
"My husband, do you think you should blame Li for this matter..." Wu Qiuyu knew that Princess Ning'an was just a little fish and shrimp, and she also felt slightly moved.
Lin Qingran knew that this was indeed a good opportunity for Queen Chen and Concubine Li to have a complete rupture. She thought for a while and shook her head firmly and said, "We and Queen Chen should still focus on sincerity, and now this kind of thing must not be deceived by her.
.Empress Chen was disheartened and unwilling to get involved in the palace struggles before, but it does not mean that she is not a shrewd person. Once the matter is exposed, it will be worth the loss!"
Although he only met Empress Chen for the first time, after his observation over the years, he found that Empress Chen was actually a shrewd person.
Not to mention anything else, just because she received her gift from Prince Yu's Mansion but did not feel greedy, it already shows that this woman is not a stupid woman as short-sighted as Concubine Li.
That's right, in this struggle in the inner palace, they'd better not interfere and guide too much, but just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
The most important thing is that once Empress Chen gave birth to the emperor's legitimate son, their earlier insignificant "sisterly relationship" is simply not worth mentioning. The conflict between the two will be incompatible without provoking.
"Okay, I will tell the queen truthfully!" Wu Qiuyu is a typical woman who follows the husband and wife, and nodded obediently.
Lin Qingran nodded slightly, and a wise look flashed across his eyes and said, "Well! Actually, although this matter was a talisman of the daughter born by Li Heqiu, it cannot be said that it really has nothing to do with Concubine Li!"
"What do you mean?" Wu Qiuyu immediately supported her body with one elbow and asked with great interest.
Lin Weiran saw the spring light suddenly blew, and couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Empress Chen has received our silver bills, and now he controls the female official system. Most eunuchs and palace maids are afraid of the queen! If it weren't for Concubine Li or those eunuchs.
As a slut, how could that stupid woman put the runes in the bed? I believe Queen Chen will know the joints in it!"
Although he could not tell which step Li Guifei would do for Zhu Yijun, a woman with such a petty family might not be able to accept the throne she had to give up.
It is precisely because of this talisman incident that Li Guifei is not ruled out to participate in it, and even Li Guifei is the person behind the entire incident.
"Okay, I will go to the palace to tell the queen in person tomorrow!" Wu Qiuyu believed Lin Xuran's judgment, so she nodded solemnly.
Lin Xuran turned over and pressed Wu Qiuyu down, but groped on her and said, "You should not enter the palace in person tomorrow, so as not to alarm the enemy. It's better to have those trustworthy palace maids lead the conversation!"
When Longqing selected the beautiful girl this year, Lin Qingran also asked Jiang Ronghua to arrange some trained girls to enter the palace, and now it has a stronger influence on the palace.
He actually knows a lot about many things in the palace now, and he even knows Longqing's daily life and diet well.
Wu Qiuyu didn't expect Lin Qingran to be so energetic tonight. She bit her red lips lightly, but she could only spit out a word "Yeah" from her nose to answer.
