10, secret
Emperor Xuanren, who had suffered a lot of losses, was cautious before Xiao Wu gave birth, for fear that his empress dowager's mother would be tyrannical again.
This imperial concubine, the position of imperial concubine, is not an ordinary concubine. In some special times, he can replace the central palace and hold the power of the harem alone. The queen is virtuous and kind, and the eldest son is smart and thoughtful. If he doesn't mention that Emperor Xuanren really likes the queen and his son. Even if it is for the harem to stabilize the previous dynasty, he cannot let his uncle's cousin become the imperial concubine like this.
According to Emperor Xuanren's previous plan, when my cousin entered the palace, he would be almost the same as giving him a concubine. If he was lucky enough to have a son or daughter in the future, he would be fine to be able to enter the position of concubine.
The empress dowager's mother refused to rely on her, and she was determined to give her parents a face. In the end, under the perplexity of the empress dowager's mother, Emperor Xuanren had to compromise with her mother, granted her uncle's cousin's position as a concubine, and directly gave her a title to show her honor and favor.
From the position of concubine to the position of noble concubine, the empress dowager, emperor and empress must agree at the same time.
What made Emperor Xuanren extremely speechless was that after his cousin Xiao Wu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Empress Dowager Wu issued an imperial edict on the spot, and promoted Concubine De to Concubine De. When the news reached Emperor Xuanren and Empress Dowager Hui'an, the imperial edict of the empress dowager's imperial edict was already teleported to the Office of Internal Affairs. Emperor Xuanren was so angry that he was angry by his own mother's arbitrary act, but he could no longer issue an edict to take back Cheng's life. That would be a slap in the mouth of his own mother.
Emperor Xuan Ren, who was full of suffocation, could only turn around and comfort the empress and her son.
After appeaseing the empress and her son, Emperor Xuanren was patient and reasoned with the empress dowager's mother, and warned her that she would not be allowed to do this again in the future.
He is not a talented person, a low-level rank like a beauties, a nobleman, or a nobleman. You can get promoted as much as you want. Can you do this indiscriminately? The empress dowager's mother agreed at that time, but when she turned her face, she used the same trick again. Fortunately, he was on guard this time. No matter how much the empress dowager's mother cried and talked, he would harden her heart and refuse to agree.
For this trouble, the empress dowager's mother was clamoring for him, while serving as an elder, she controlled and oppressed the empress and her son regardless of respect and dignity, which made Emperor Xuan Ren so angry that she was so angry.
After two years of delay, Emperor Xuanren looked at his biological mother who fell ill on the bed and finally agreed to promote Concubine De to the Imperial Concubine.
Facing Emperor Xuanren's reluctance, Xiao Wu was overjoyed without waiting for the satisfaction of the old Empress Wu. Emperor Xuanren issued another heavy-handed decree, conferring only five-year-old eldest son Ji Ziqing as the crown prince of a country, and ordered him to follow the court and follow the government every day.
The rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty generally required that the crown princes of the Eastern Palace who were enthroned must be at least ten years old. Ji Ziqing was promoted to the crown prince at the age of five, which immediately caused a stir in the court.
At this time, Empress Wu talked about the rules of ancestors to Emperor Xuanren.
Emperor Xuanren had made up his mind and naturally no longer changed. He could not ignore his own mother's life, but he could not help but give the queen an explanation. After a long discussion, everyone temporarily accepted the established fact.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old Empress Wu intends to improve her niece to promote her second grandson, and her mind is obvious.
The old empress Wu is one foot taller, but Emperor Xuanren said he is one foot taller.
He directly used the position of crown prince to make one carrot and one pit for the eldest son, and then the men in the Fujinhou Mansion only installed some idle and scattered and none of them were allowed to get into the Wu family. This was to tell everyone that although the second prince's mother became the imperial concubine, I had no intention of being partial to him at all.
Not only that, after Xiao Wu was promoted to the Imperial Concubine, Emperor Xuanren never summoned her to be favored. Xiao Wu's position in the harem was only under the queen, but there was no more Yu Lu Jun's kindness.
To be honest, before the late emperor passed away, Xiao Wu had been a widow.
However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone the treacherous deep palaces.
Old Empress Wu successfully promoted her niece to the position of imperial concubine, but she also completely lost the emperor's favor. No matter how old Empress Wu forced Emperor Xuanren, even if Emperor Xuanren went to sleep with a palace maid, she would not be happy to go to Xiaowu again.
This made Old Empress Wu furious.
Old Empress Wu had no choice but to treat the emperor's son, so she could bully the queen and treat her grandson coldly.
Although the eldest grandson Ji Ziqing was very similar to Emperor Xuanren, the old lady Wu ignored him and only wanted to be the second grandson with her Wu family bloodline. As for the eldest princess who was born one after another with the second prince, the old lady Wu ignored her.
Similarly, Emperor Xuanren also had no choice but to be so partial to the Queen Mother, who was so partial to the second grandson.
He could not force his mother to pamper his legitimate son, so he would compensate his extremely sensible baby beloved son with multiple fatherly love. Not only would he lead him to the court to follow the government every day, but he also taught him step by step to read and write, and even personally guided his skills in cavalry and martial arts.
To be honest, Ji Ziqing spent much more time with Emperor Xuan Ren than any younger brother or younger sister.
When Ji Zi was growing up with a clear and beautiful woman, Ji Ziming was doting on the verge of being spoiled by the old Empress Wu, and even Emperor Xuanren didn't beat and scold him.
In order to pave the bridge for his favorite grandson, Emperor Xuanren did not give the Wu family the real power, so Empress Wu married the wealthy families everywhere. Although Emperor Xuanren had a headache and destroyed several related matters, he still took on several wealthy family mansions. In the meantime, Empress Wu almost picked the bones from the eggs and accused the mistakes of finding Empress Dowager Hui'an, as if she was trying to pull her off the throne of the queen.
This kind of stalemate situation was unreasonable, and it continued until almost five years ago.
What happened next is already a secret to the palace.
That year, one day, Empress Dowager Hui'an, who was having a meal with Emperor Xuanren, suddenly felt unwell. Emperor Xuanren hurriedly summoned the Imperial Hospital, the best medical skills, to ask for the Ping'an pulse. This request for the pulse was amazing. The Imperial Hospital actually diagnosed that Empress Dowager Hui'an was pregnant. Since giving birth to his eldest son Ji Ziqing, Empress Dowager Hui'an has not given birth to another twelve years. He suddenly heard that the empress whom he loved ten minutes later had been pregnant again, and Emperor Xuanren was immediately dissatisfied.
But the next sentence of the Imperial Hospital was trembling, but Emperor Xuanren's scalp was numb, as if he was falling into an ice cave.
The Imperial Hospital was kneeling down to report to Emperor Xuanren, saying that Empress Dowager Hui'an seemed to have a little sign of poisoning.
Emperor Xuan Ren took a deep breath and ordered the Imperial Hospital to conduct a careful examination of Empress Dowager Hui'an first, and ordered him not to leak any rumors.
After careful examination by the Imperial Hospital, we finally came to a conclusion that Empress Dowager Hui'an was infected with an extremely hidden chronic and strange poison. The Imperial Hospital routinely asked for pulse once a month was basically difficult to detect. When the Imperial Hospital could find out, the poisoned person would almost have no medicine.
However, while Empress Dowager Hui'an was poisoned, she was also a little lucky because she happened to be pregnant with the child.
If Empress Dowager Hui'an did not happen to be pregnant, she might have died of a despicable poisonous killing method. It was because the fetus in her abdomen felt uncomfortable that the knowledgeable Imperial Hospital Hospital caught a little abnormality. Fortunately, Empress Dowager Hui'an was not seriously poisoned. After using all his skills at the Imperial Hospital Hospital, she finally saved the safety of Empress Dowager Hui'an and the fifth prince. However, because she was seriously guilty in her mother's body, although the fifth prince was born alive, her body was extremely weak, very difficult to raise, and was very prone to illness.
In a sense, the fifth prince can be regarded as the life-saving benefactor of Empress Dowager Hui'an.
If it weren't for him, perhaps the one who died a few years later would be the one who died. Therefore, whether it was Empress Dowager Hui'an, who was his biological mother, or Ji Ziqing, who was his brother, they all loved and cherished the fifth prince.
As for the poisoned person, it was Emperor Xuanren's biological mother, Empress Wu.
After confirming the health of Empress Dowager Hui'an, Emperor Xuanren began to personally investigate the poisoning of his wife. The Imperial Hospital told him that the chronic strange poison usually enters the body with his diet. The Empress of the Central Palace has an independent kitchen, and her daily diet and daily life are controlled by several nannies who have been in charge of them for many years. In addition to eating and drinking tea in his palace, another place where Empress Dowager Hui'an often goes is the Cining Palace of Empress Dowager Wu.
As a daughter-in-law, Empress Dowager Hui'an had to pay tribute to her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Wu.
Emperor Xuanren respected his biological mother as the sage and mercy of the Queen Mother, hoping that she would give her mercy. Although he did not want to doubt her, the biological mother has been targeting her wife everywhere for more than ten years. If she said that she had hatred for a long time and wanted to kill her disliked daughter-in-law, it would be entirely possible. Therefore, Emperor Xuanren captured all the important confidants around her, and watched them personally as being punished. Then, when they could not stand it, they would tell them truthfully.
It was indeed ordered by Empress Wu, but Xiao Wu was not aware of it.
