Two months after being deposed, I returned to the palace in a beautiful manner
And this time, I am no longer the unfavored Empress of the Middle Palace, I have become the most special exception in the emperor's heart...
1.
In the imperial palace, Gao Yao had just finished the headache of the early dynasty and was about to go to the Shang Study Room, when he suddenly received a report that Qingning Mountain Qingning Guan was burned and looted by robbers, and almost all the guards on duty at night were killed, Qingning Guan is still burning, and the life and death of the former empress are uncertain.
As soon as I heard "The life and death of the former queen is uncertain!" ", Gao Yao's whole person couldn't help but panic and rush to his heart, and suddenly he stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, the eunuch next to him quickly held him with his eyes, so that he would not fall to the ground. Then he hurried out and ordered in a panic: "Go and prepare the horse!" Fast! There is also the Royal Forest Army. ”
"Your Majesty, do you want to change your clothes first?" The eunuch chief Ji Fangxuan followed behind and reminded respectfully.
Suddenly realized that he was wearing a court uniform and a crown, which was not suitable for riding a horse at all, and it would take time to prepare a horse and escort, so Gao Yao hurriedly turned around and rushed back to the dormitory to change into civilian clothes, and then hurried out of the palace and out of the city, and rushed to Qingning Mountain.
When he rushed to Qingningguan with the Royal Forest Army in a hurry, it was already early afternoon, and the fire had burned Qingningguan completely, leaving only a charred black mess, rubble, black smoke, and more than twenty charred corpses that could not be identified.
Gao Yao ignored it, personally stepped forward to inspect the corpse, and couldn't help but ask nervously: "The corpses are all here?" Among them, there can be Xu's? ”
While judging men and women by body size, he tried his best to recall the characteristics of Xu Qionghua's body to confirm as soon as possible whether she was also among the scorched corpses. He only knew that she often wore a white jade bracelet, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he scanned the circle and didn't see a scorched corpse wearing a white jade bracelet.
But the next moment, he thought about it, and he was afraid that if it was taken away, he couldn't help but be very nervous and afraid to take a closer look at the past, and he couldn't care about the nausea and discomfort caused by the strong smell.
"All the corpses in the Taoist temple have been moved out, of which eleven are male corpses, all are Yulin Army, and fifteen are female corpses, all of them are Taoist aunts in the Taoist temple, and the specific identity has not yet been confirmed." The person in charge of investigating the case replied directly.
"How many Taoist aunts are there in the original Taoist temple?" Gao Yao asked anxiously.
"Items like the roster have all been burned, it's not yet known." Ji Zuo said.
Gao Yao sighed helplessly, suppressed his emotions and asked again: "Is it certain that it was done by bandits?" ”
"Judging from the injuries of the corpses that were not burned around, almost killed by the knife, there were no extra injuries, if it was done by the bandits, the knife method should not be so crisp and neat, and the property was not all looted, and the belongings on some corpses were still there, moreover, Qingningguan is special, taboo, and there is no property, there is no need to burn and kill so much, so it is inferred that it was not done by the bandits."
Listening to his inference, Gao Yao confirmed his speculation a little more in his heart, and his resentment also increased a little, he turned his head to look at Rong Yi, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and asked, "Rong Yi, what do you think?" ”
"The lowly post also believes that it is not the work of bandits, and the guards who remain in Qingning Mountain are all called from the Royal Forest Army, but they are strictly trained soldiers, but almost all of them are killed here, which is definitely not something ordinary bandits can do." Rong Yi said with a serious face.
After listening to the inference, Gao Yao's heart couldn't help but be a little more frightened, and he only felt that if it was really a premeditated assassination, Xu Qionghua's survival might be even lower and lower.
"Send people to search the mountain, to find all the corpses, all the clues." Gao Yao was irritable and annoyed and ordered.
"Yes!"
After Rong Yi received the order, he directly transferred to carry out the order and began to send soldiers to search the mountain.
"Your Majesty."
Xu Qionghua's brother Xu Bolin hurried to the place and saluted Gao Yao with a worried and uneasy face.
"It has not yet been determined that Qionghua is among the corpses, and people have been sent to search the mountains to find her whereabouts." Gao Yao's eyes were sad and he responded directly.
"Hmm."
Xu Berlin still couldn't help but personally come forward to confirm the corpse to see if his sister was among them, otherwise it would be difficult to feel at ease and it would be difficult to explain to his parents.
The soldiers searched the mountains for an afternoon, and found only the bodies of four guards, two bodies of Taoist aunts, and some broken cloth from the mountains and forests.
At nightfall, a light rain began to fall in the sky, so that the search operation could only be stopped, allowing the soldiers to evacuate Qingning Mountain; All the bodies were handed over to the Yamen in charge of investigating the case for proper handling and placement.
Gao Yao ordered that after the case was clarified, a heavy amount of money should be paid to the families of the deceased and wounded, and the Qingning Temple should be rebuilt to enshrine the deceased's tablet. Then brave the rain to return to the city and return to the palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, as soon as Gao Yao bathed and changed clothes and prepared for dinner, Guo Chun'er suddenly arrived with ginger soup, and pretended to come forward to comfort, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you were raining, so she specially boiled ginger soup for you to ward off the cold, so as not to get cold in the dragon body." ”
"Exhausted, put down the ginger soup and kneel down!"
Gao Yao's face was gloomy, and he didn't look at it, and directly ordered.
Guo Chun'er was unhappy in her heart, and insisted with a smile: "Your Majesty, let the concubines stay and wait for you to eat, right?" ”
"Go down!" Gao Yao scolded with a cold face, his eyes sharp and murderous.
Guo Chun'er and the others couldn't help but be frightened and frightened, and hurriedly saluted and retreated, "Yes, the concubine retreats." ”
Watching Guo Chun'er retreat and leave, the cold murderous aura in Gao Yao's eyes couldn't help but grow a little stronger. He had already guessed that Qingningguan's assassination must have been directed by the Guo family, but he had no evidence.
Recently, hundreds of officials have written to request that the new queen and the crown prince be established as soon as possible, and the recommended candidates are Guo Chun'er and her son, and it would be strange if no one secretly pampered behind this.
In addition, since Xu Qionghua was given marriage and made the crown princess, the small actions on the Guo family's side have not stopped, and it has been all these years, suppressing the Xu family in the previous dynasty, suppressing Xu Qionghua in the harem, and even secretly instructing poisoning many times, he is not unaware, but the time has not been ripe.
When he was still the crown prince, Xu Qionghua often said to him: Don't be too greedy, if you want rivers and mountains, you want rivers and mountains, if you want beauty, you want beauty, you can't want everything, you can think about everything, and in the end you will get nothing.
She Xu Qionghua is not greedy, and he Xu Xiangguo is not greedy, but what did he get in the end? She Guo Chun'er wants everything and fights for everything, and his Guo family wants everything, but in the end it is not monstrous and satisfied!
Thinking of this, Gao Yao couldn't help but sigh helplessly, looking a little powerless, unable to protect everything he wanted to protect, Xu Qionghua, who was ice clear and jade and as light as a chrysanthemum, still disappeared from his eyes! Maybe never see you again!
2.
A few days later, an advisor sent a letter asking Xu Qionghua to be restored to the empress title according to the ceremony, and to go through the canonization of the title and the ceremony of attaching sacrifices to the temple court, and to be buried in the mausoleum and enjoy the temple god.
That is to say, it is necessary to hurry up and deal with the aftermath of the former empress, and tell the world that Xu Qionghua has collapsed, and from now on, whether she is dead or alive, it is not enough to have an impact anymore.
However, in the courtroom, after Gao Yao saw the song shu, he was directly furious in front of the hundred officials, and almost threw the song shu into the face of the advisor, and angrily rebuked: "Xu's life and death are uncertain, what funeral is there?" Who is so impatient to stand up for Shu! ”
The officials bowed their heads respectfully, and some looked at each other and did not dare to say anything more.
Gao Yao stood on the high platform and in front of the dragon chair, and angrily rebuked: "The political affairs of the previous dynasty were chaotic, all industries were waiting to be prospered, and everything was waiting to be done, but he was not in the community and the people, but he was very active in the affairs of the harem, what was his intention?" For what purpose? Isn't the rise and fall of the world more important than the affairs of the harem? What is the use of not seeking government in office, not fulfilling his duties, and doing his best? ”
After he angrily rebuked, without waiting for the officials to speak again, he directly turned his head to look at Ji Fang, the eunuch chief, and Ji Fang instantly understood what he meant, and shouted directly: "There is a book to play, no book to retreat!" ”
The officials did not hit the gun on the head again very knowingly, and directly saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Gao Yao didn't say anything more, his face was gloomy, and he directly brushed his sleeves and left the main hall and went to Shang's study.
Xu Qionghua, together with Grandma Yao and Mei Yue, after a few days of recuperation in a farmhouse, the scratches on their feet and the sprains on Grandma Yao's feet were almost better, so they left valuable things in return, and then secretly returned to the city and sneaked back to Xiangguo Mansion.
Because it is not clear who the mastermind of the premeditated assassination is and which forces want to kill her, and for fear of bringing disaster to her family, Xu Qionghua did not dare to go home openly and let outsiders know that she was still alive, so as to face assassination again.
Quietly returning home from the back door, when Xu Qionghua saw her mother Kang, she was already too emaciated due to sadness and was recuperating in bed, and her grandmother Zhang was also sick in bed, looking much older and thinner. Just because there have been many things at home recently, people simply can't bear the blow.
Her father Xu Shouzheng was demoted to Guizhou Longchang as a post shopkeeper, the second brother Xu Baiyi was also demoted from the capital, to Jinling as a waiter in the bureau, brother Xu Baimao was beaten by the Guo family to fracture, is bedridden to recuperate, sister Xu Yaohua was just withdrawn from marriage two days ago, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were afraid of being implicated, and have returned to their mother's house separately, and the second sister-in-law just can't bear the child, so she hasn't left, it's really a loss, and there are many disasters, only the eldest brother Xu Bolin is still fine for the time being, and he is still a cabinet scholar.
As soon as her grandmother Zhang was emotional, she couldn't help but be angry and accuse her, saying that she failed to become the Xu family's dependence, it was simply useless, she didn't act in the harem, she couldn't even give birth to a child, and finally ended up being abandoned, so that the whole family suffered with it, and now that the family is not a family, she almost lost her home and died. If her father has a long and short when he is outside, she will not stay in the Xu family, and the Xu family will not have her daughter!
And her mother Kang Shi also begged bitterly, asking her if there was a way to return to the palace, asking the emperor to take back her order, not to let the Xu family disperse like this, so that her sister-in-law and sister-in-law could return quickly, and her sister would not be difficult to marry and unable to be a person.
Looking at her sister's extremely aggrieved and pleading eyes, Xu Qionghua couldn't help but lower her head in guilt, and didn't want to face it.
Listening to the number and pleading, she suddenly didn't know where to go and how to choose.
She thought this was her home, a place where she could shelter from the wind and rain, but it wasn't!
Go, sorry for the whole family, can't bear the consequences, will blame yourself for a lifetime, don't go, sorry for yourself, can only be wronged!
She does not have any retreat to speak of, except for the palace, there seems to be no place for her to go, to death, even if it is an abandoned woman, she can only be a royal abandoned woman, and there is no other choice, there is no more from the beginning! It's just that she naively thought there was a choice.
At night, when the eldest brother Xu Bolin returned from the palace, Xu Qionghua hurriedly ran to his courtyard and asked: "Why was my father belittled?" What crime was committed that was demoted and thus transferred to a remote location? ”
Suddenly seeing her appear, as if coming back from the dead, Xu Bolin was suddenly surprised and surprised, and then the retreat person said very seriously: "After Your Majesty is abolished, sending you to the Taoist temple for retreat, in fact, it is also a last resort, the northern border is unstable, the southwest rebellion, King Gao Hao of Ning has been trying to seize the throne, the Guo family is powerful, holding heavy soldiers, the Yang family is a faction to secretly control the court, the Shang family is greedy and forms a party, withholding taxes, these four forces seem to be separate, but secretly colluded, in the past half a year, have been working hard to suppress your father, since you are not in the harem, They fought secretly because of the competition for the lord of the harem, and his father was derogatory in name, but in fact, he was temporarily left to fight in the court to quell the southwest rebellion, and as for everything in the family, there is always a past, you don't have to worry. ”
After listening carefully, I don't know if there are any facts to hide, whether it is only a happy but not a worry, but in fact, there are hidden dangers and disasters of extinction. In addition, the damage caused by this in the family has been formed, and it is not a false or blind method, which makes Xu Qionghua suddenly fall into contemplation and can't help but think about ways to break the situation.
After a long time, Xu Bolin was having dinner, and she suddenly said: "As far as the current situation in the dynasty is concerned, it is not unbreakable..."
"How to break?" Xu Berlin chewed the food and asked curiously.
"Qingming is coming, the Son of Heaven sacrifice to the earth god will be held on time, let His Majesty recall the king of Fan in the name of ancestor worship, those who do not obey, those who have different intentions, judge the crime, abolish the title of the feudal state, if someone takes the opportunity to rebel, use the Guo family's military strength to deal with it, if the Guo family unites to rebel, there is a punishment for the Guo family, if there is no rebellion, it is better, let the Guo family lead the troops to suppress the northern border, let the king of Fan donate money and materials as a military sound, and at the same time promote capable people, and then eliminate the internal troubles in the imperial court, that is, to disperse and transfer the forces of all parties, and then clear the hidden dangers one by one."
After listening carefully to the strategy that Xu Qionghua came up with, Xu Bolin suddenly asked with a smile: "The most important thing is that the important ministers of the court have their own selfish intentions, His Majesty's foundation is not stable, the military strength in his hands is limited, and the financial resources are also limited, what if there is a situation where the king of Fan and the Guo family jointly rebel and force the palace, what should we do?" ”
"Can you first appoint the grandson of the Guo family as the crown prince to stabilize the situation on one side, what the Guo family wants is nothing more than a high position, can it be that they still want to usurp the throne?" Xu Qionghua blurted out directly.
"Make the crown prince, that is, the mother of the crown prince, but with the son of the noble, the Guo family may become the empress, don't you mind?" Xu Bolin asked with a smile.
Xu Qionghua was first surprised, and then said depressedly: "The matter of the harem has nothing to do with me, why do I still mind?" ”
"But Your Majesty doesn't want to do this, Qingningguan was burned and looted, he personally drove his horse to find you, do you know how worried he was at that time?"
"Impossible!" Xu Qionghua blurted out with a shocked face, completely unable to believe it, and then asked weakly, "He... Did you really go in person? ”
"Hmm! Never lie to you. Xu Bolin said with certainty.
Xu Qionghua suddenly thought that he was now a wasted queen, and suddenly said very depressed and lost: "But, why bother?" What does it have to do with me? I will not return to the palace, I told him earlier, don't be too greedy, don't want the beauty of the rivers and mountains to think, if he made a sacrifice early, how could he end up in this situation? ”
"But as a man, there are always a few things that he tries to protect and can't bear to give up." Xu Bolin said with a helpless smile.
"But he is not an ordinary man, if he wants to sit on the throne, he should not have a personal weakness, otherwise, he will not even protect his life." Xu Qionghua said with a complaining tone, a little hating that iron is not steel.
Xu Bolin listened, smiled helplessly, continued to eat, and did not say anything more.
Sometimes, he sincerely felt that if his sister were a boy, how good she would be, and if she was not bound in the boudoir, she would definitely be able to do a great job, and she would definitely be no worse than him. She has been studious and intelligent since she was a child, looking at things like their father, always calm and sharp, always able to see the key to things, find a way to deal with it, if you can be comfortable in the harem, you can be a virtuous helper, but that heaven and earth are limited after all, how can you use the talent to govern the world and benefit the people, and achieve great achievements?
3.
The next day, Xu Bolin combined his own ideas and talked privately with Gao Yao about the strategy proposed by Xu Qionghua, thinking that it was up to him to decide whether to use the strategy to break the situation, or whether there was any further addition.
When he heard that Xu Qionghua was still alive and had returned to the Xu family safely, he was suddenly surprised and extremely excited, stood up abruptly and strode out, wanting to personally go out of the palace to pick up people at the Xu family. But as soon as he walked out of the door of Shang's study, he thought very rationally that it was not the time, and taking her back to the palace at the moment would only kill her.
Therefore, he returned to the hall very disappointed, began to think of further strategies to break the situation, and then asked people to draft an edict to recruit back to the kings of various places in the name of ancestor worship, including, of course, King Ning Gao Hao.
More than a month later, before the Qingming Dynasty, Xu Qionghua suddenly received a letter from Gao Hao, who had just returned to the capital, and wanted to invite her to Cuichunlou for dinner to catch up. But for fear that it would bring disaster to the Xu family, she did not agree to go to the appointment, but directly refused.
Because in the past month, many ministers in Beijing have been convicted and exiled, and even beheaded by Zhulian, causing panic and self-danger, and Gao Yao has been crowned with the title of tyrant by the ministers, and if it is not good, the Xu family will unfortunately be affected, and the family will be ruined and killed. Therefore, Xu Qionghua really did not dare to take personal risks.
One night, on the way home from government affairs in the palace, Xu Bolin was directly assassinated on the street, and when people were hurriedly carried home by the guards, he only hung his breath, and people were about to die.
As soon as he saw Xu Qionghua rushing to the front, he grabbed her with trembling hands, and explained with a mouth full of blood: "Your Majesty... It's going to be... A good emperor, you must help him ... To go back to... Go to the palace, the Xu family... The Xu family..."
"Good, good, I know, I know, I will definitely protect the Xu family, my father and mother and grandmother will be fine, the children will grow up, the eldest brother can rest assured, there will be no problem!"
In a panic, in a hurry, Xu Qionghua hurriedly made various promises with tears and trembling, wanting his eldest brother to rest assured and not to walk uneasy.
"Your sister-in-law... Your sister-in-law..."
Xu Berlin finally failed to explain the matter, and suddenly died, causing Xu's mother to faint suddenly, and his children suddenly cried silently and cried continuously.
Xu Qionghua, as a person who can carry things in the family, quickly suppressed her emotions, endured her grief and began to explain various aftermath, ordered her subordinates to report the funeral, and sent someone to inform her sister-in-law Qian Shi that how to make a decision was left to the other party to decide, and she was only responsible for informing it.
However, Qian was still quite affectionate, and as soon as he heard the evil news, he hurried back to Xu's house overnight, accompanied the child to keep a vigil, and promised not to leave.
The next day, the Xu family held a funeral, and the imperial court sent someone to send Xu Berlin an evaluation document on his deeds before his death, posthumously presenting Xu Berlin as the first assistant of the cabinet, and the nickname Wen Jing.
Two days later, Qingming, the postponed Son of Heaven festival ceremony was held in the palace, after which the ancestor worship ceremony was held, and in the evening was the palace banquet.
Everything was like premeditated, planned, and prepared step by step, and the palace banquet became a Hongmen banquet, and it was a Hongmen banquet that cleansed the internal troubles with blood.
After that, the Guo family declined, and military power returned to the imperial court. King Gao Hao of Ning, King Gao Jin of Xian, and King Gao Yi of Kang were granted the state, and their titles were abolished, and they became commoners and placed under house arrest in the Zongren Mansion. The property embezzled by the party headed by the Shang family has also been returned to the state treasury one after another, and the group of people led by the Yang family who formed a party can no longer control the court and threaten the society.
Since then, Gao Yao has been completely crowned with the title of tyrant, but he does not seem to care about fame, and after having troops and financial resources in hand, he directly sends troops north to fight against foreign countries and regain lost territory. He also sent troops and grain to the south to support Xu Shouzheng in quelling the southwest rebellion, and also restored his official position to help quell the rebellion and control the situation in the southwest.
In addition, the harem of the former dynasty was closely related, and the glory and loss were shared, and the concubines of the harem such as Concubine Jing from the Yang family, Yang Meiren, and Concubine Shu from the Shang family were all demoted, some became commoners, and some even couldn't withstand the blow, and directly chose to commit suicide. Even Guo Guifei Guo Chuner, who has always been known as the favored harem, has become a deposed concubine and a commoner, living in a cold palace, and even her own children cannot stay by her side to raise them, and she has completely lost her relationship with the queen throne since then.
It fully confirms the saying: the companion is like a companion tiger, and it is the most ruthless imperial family. No one can guess what the mind of the person sitting on the throne is, how many hearts and eyes he has, and what his end will be. Everything is just a matter of involuntary life, passing clouds, and until the last moment, no one knows what their end will be.
A month later, Gao Yao personally went to Xiangguo Mansion to pick up Xu Qionghua back to the palace. She also made her sister-in-law Qian Shi a commanded lady in advance, and her second brother and younger brother were promoted to their positions, while other family members had rewards, making it impossible for her to refuse, nor did she dare to flee out of the capital and refused to return to the palace.
In addition, her sister's family who had previously chosen to withdraw from marriage came back with a shy face to ask for the fulfillment of the marriage contract, and put forward a desire to marry as soon as possible, but her sister decisively refused, and did not want to marry a ruthless and unrighteous family.
Back at the Kunning Palace, everything seems to have not changed, only some new furnishings have been added, and the Phoenix Seal Treasure Book is also there.
When she flipped through the treasure book, Gao Yao, who had been looking at her without leaving her, suddenly hugged her from behind, her ears were very drunk and rubbed against her neck, obsessively sniffing her body fragrance, which made her can't help but be startled, her body instantly froze, and she didn't dare to move, and then she didn't want to, and directly asked the doubts in her heart, "I'm not just a decoration?" What is your majesty doing? ”
"Hehehe..." Gao Yao couldn't help but laugh awkwardly and wantonly, and hurriedly denied the laugh, "It's never a decoration, it's just a last resort..."
Xu Qionghua directly pushed away his hands, turned around and sat on the seat on the side, and said without looking coldly: "I am pure and ciful, I don't mind continuing to do this middle palace decoration at all, if Your Majesty wants to expand the harem and add beauty, I will immediately order someone to arrange it." ”
"Are you angry?" Gao Yao was helpless to ask.
"It's not."
"Then why is Zhu Yuan so cold?" Gao Yao looked lost, and then asked, "You don't want to give birth to an heir?" ”
"My brother just died, and I don't want to talk about such things."
Suddenly understood, Gao Yao's face suddenly apologized, and he let out a long sigh, then turned around and sat on the couch, "Your brother's death, Shu is also responsible..."
"My brother just did what he was supposed to do." Xu Qionghua interrupted Gao Yao's words and said that he did not want Gao Yao to blame himself for this, let alone that his eldest brother who died for justice would be denied half a point, "He said, Your Majesty will become a good emperor, and I also hope that Your Majesty can be a good emperor." ”
Gao Yao was very relaxed and casually leaned on the bed, without the slightest majesty of the emperor, and asked with a surprised smile: "Then can you help you?" ”
To be honest, he didn't even know what a good emperor was, because there were no standards to speak of, and whether it was good or bad was judged by others, and whether he said it or not. He just wanted the stability of the imperial court, the peace of the society, the freedom of the people from war and misery, the ability to live and work in peace and contentment, and the guarantee of food and clothing. The rest is that the woman in front of him can always be by his side, and he doesn't have much luxury.
Xu Qionghua just looked at him silently and did not answer.
At night, he slept in the Kunning Palace, like a newlywed, he kept clinging to Xu Qionghua in the bed, hugging her tightly, but he respected her mourning heart, and did not uncontrollably do something out of the ordinary.
The next day, the concubines of the harem came to the Kunning Palace to ask the empress for peace, the so-called favored concubines have long disappeared, and the so-called unfavored queens are still sitting on the phoenix throne they cannot climb, and they can only bow down and salute, and can no longer laugh and mock.
A few months later, the war in the north was victorious, and the class division could return to the DPRK before the mid-autumn festival, and the situation in the southwest had long been calmed down and was developing in a good direction, and Xu Xiangguo could return to the capital to succeed the prime minister and seal the town for peace. In addition, the imperial court continued to promote and add many talents, so that the structure of the court tended to be stable and began to show a vigorous trend.
This made Gao Yao finally relax a little, and did not have to spend his days with thousands of hearts and eyes all day, so most of his thoughts and energy turned to Xu Qionghua, nagging her every day to give birth to a prince and a princess, so that she could only be very speechless to him.
In a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and at the lively palace banquet, there are many fewer concubines in the harem than in previous years, and there is no new face, all of them are old people, and they dare not disrespect the empress, let alone mock jokes in private, unless they are afraid of a long life or want to live in the cold palace.
Xu Qionghua sat on Gao Yao's right, no longer a foil for any favorite concubine, just because she was the only favorite of the harem, Gao Yao only had her in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to let her suffer the slightest grievance. He wasn't even interested in dancing, and seeing that she had been eating green peel tangerines, his face was full of pampering, and he couldn't help but smile and ask: "Are you pregnant?" ”
Xu Qionghua suddenly looked shocked and surprised, couldn't help but stop chewing oranges, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then directly glanced at him, stuffed all the peeled oranges in his hand into his mouth, and said proudly: "Mouthful!" ”
Everyone else couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but the Queen Mother smiled and said nothing.
"Hehehe..." Gao Yao couldn't help but be handsome, chewed and swallowed the orange, and leaned close to her ear and said, "The first child, Shun wants a prince." ”
"Think beautifully!" Xu Qionghua was very arrogant.
"Son follows mother, don't you want to?" Gao Yao asked with a smile.
"Shut up!" Xu Qionghua didn't want to make a statement, but he couldn't help but say, "Everything is as it is." ”
"Well, good! It's all about it. Gao Yao couldn't help but touch her stomach, and asked with a happy smile, "Have you asked the Tai Doctor to confirm it?" ”
"No, but it should be, I once dreamed that the golden dragon flew into my arms through the colorful clouds." Xu Qionghua picked up the green peel orange on the table and peeled it again.
Gao Yao smiled and took the orange in her hand, directly helped her peel the orange and clear the orange silk, and then fed it to her very gently, completely ignoring what others would think or think, just taking care of himself and doing what he wanted to do in his heart, and didn't care about anything else. It caused a group of concubines to be envious and jealous, but there was nothing they could do, so they could only help.
More than half a year later, the next summer, Xu Qionghua successfully gave birth to a boy, as Gao Yao wished, named Gao Shan, and a hundred days later, he was directly made the crown prince, giving her all the tenderness and favoritism to her, as well as the child she gave birth.
This makes the other concubines in the harem forever unreachable and insurmountable, just like her name, it is a very special and special existence, but it is always an exception in Gao Yao's heart, the tiger-sniffing rose. (Original title: "Phoenix Leaves the Nest, Game in the Game (Part II)")
