Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced, then lowered his eyes again, leisurely playing with the string of beads in his hand.

Jiang Ning recognized the bead string as a personal belonging of Concubine Jin.

After Concubine Jin passed away, most of her things were buried with her, but this string of beads became the emperor's personal belongings.

The emperor didn't say anything about the first group of beautiful women who came up.

His expression didn't change at all.

But the queen frowned slightly, looking quite dissatisfied, and said, "How did the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple do things this year? The beautiful girls they selected are all mediocre in appearance."

Although she complained about the Ministry of Rites and the adults of Honglu Temple, she actually blamed Sang and Huai and accused Jiang Ning of being indifferent to human affairs.

I deliberately selected some mediocre looking ladies.

Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and other concubines looked at each other and remained silent.

Only Concubine Yu said: "As the saying goes, you should marry a virtuous wife. For us women, appearance is not the only thing that matters. Honest temperament, modesty, and noble character are the most important. If The kind of person who only relies on his face to be charming and enchanting will not be allowed in the palace."

The queen sneered: "It's just choosing a few beautiful girls to serve people, how can it be compared with marrying a wife? What do you mean, Concubine Yu?"

Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that her words were indeed easily misunderstood.

Marry a virtuous wife?

Do these showgirls still want to take the place of the queen?

Jiang Ning originally didn't want to pay attention to the queen, but Concubine Yu spoke for her, so she was criticized by the queen, so she couldn't pretend she didn't hear her.

"I think what Concubine Yu said is not unreasonable." Jiang Ning said with a smile, "The virtuous win the hearts of the people. If I, the Crown Princess, do something bad, I should abdicate in favor of the virtuous. Queen, don't get me wrong, I am not When I talk about you, I talk about myself."

The Queen straightened her back and said with the most graceful smile: "Since the Crown Princess said this, it is obvious that she is extremely virtuous. I believe that it won't be long before the East Palace will have a few more children."

The implication is that if no concubine in the East Palace becomes pregnant in the next period of time, it means that she, the Crown Princess, is not virtuous and is being slapped in the face.

But will Jiang Ning care?

of course not.

Li Hongyuan once praised her for being as thick-skinned as a city wall.

What's wrong with hitting yourself a few times?

At this time, His Royal Highness, who was far away at the military aircraft handling government affairs, suddenly sneezed.

Li Quan quickly brought a cloak and hot tea, and served him carefully: "Your Highness is working hard for military affairs today, so you must take care of yourself."

Li Hongyuan took a sip of hot tea and asked casually: "Did your father go to Chuxiu Palace?"

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty and the Queen have all gone, as well as Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and many other concubines. The Crown Princess is the last to go." As the father-in-law in charge of the Crown Prince, Li Quan knew that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to go there. Knowing what he knew, without waiting for the prince to ask, he immediately told the news that he had been paying close attention to, "The draft has just started. I don't know the details yet."

Li Hongyuan nodded.

Li Quan asked again: "Your Highness, won't you go and take a look?"

"What are you looking at? Are you looking at the Crown Princess fighting the concubine for 300 rounds in the Chuxiu Palace?"

"..." Li Quan laughed dryly, not daring to answer.

When he saw His Highness the Prince picking up this chapter to read again, he silently withdrew.

The young eunuch was waiting at the door and asked quietly: "Master, should I go to Chuxiugong to inquire about the news?"
