Chapter 171: The powerful general VS the arrogant and domineering beautiful concubine (17)
·
Ye Xiu Lao Po
When Yan Mingting heard what Zhao Xuanyi said, he looked at Zhao Jieyu and said, "Zhao Jieyu, do you think so too?"
Xian'er is Zhao Jieyu's biological child. Is she really willing to give the child to the queen to raise?
Of course, Yan Mingting is not looking forward to Zhao Jieyu's answer. How can Jieyu's children be as noble as the queen's children?
Maybe Zhao Jieyu also hopes that one day the child adopted by the queen will inherit the throne, and then she will be given the title of Queen Mother?
When Zhao Jieyu heard Yan Mingting ask her, she looked up at him in surprise. After touching Zhao Xuanyi, she quickly lowered her head and said, "It's up to your Majesty to make the decision."
She was not originally such a timid character, but after entering the palace, Zhao Xuanyi sent people to control her everywhere, and she gradually became timid.
Zhao Jieyu is really afraid of Zhao Xuanyi, the Queen's aunt.
She wasn't so timid and quiet when she was still in her parents' home, but she wasn't an overly active child, nor was she a very independent person.
If she had had big ideas, her family would not have sent her to the palace to give birth to Zhao Xuanyi's child.
Yan Mingting obviously knew Zhao Jieyu's answer a long time ago, but he was still a little disappointed when he heard it.
Zhao Xuanyi beside her continued, "Your Majesty, can you just promise me to be my concubine?"
"I have worked hard for so many years without any merit. My only wish is to have a child of my own..."
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Xuanyi pinched Yan Mingting's sleeve and begged.
Although she is in her early forties, she has taken good care of herself, and it would not be too abrupt to show weakness like this.
But who is Yan Mingting?
He is an emperor who has countless young beauties. He doesn't accept the coquettish behavior of someone as old as Zhao Xuanyi.
But Zhao Xuanyi was the queen, his first wife who had been with him through so many years of ups and downs since he was young, so he could only fulfill her wish.
Yan Mingting looked at her and said, "Have you really decided to put Xian'er in your name?"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I like Xian'er very much. The first time I saw Xian'er, I knew that it was destined to be my child."
"Your Majesty, will you fulfill the fate of mother and son between my concubine and Xian'er?"
Yan Mingting nodded, "In this case, I decree that Xian'er will be recorded in your name. From now on, he will be the Queen's legitimate son."
Zhao Xuanyi said happily after hearing this, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty..."
Zhao Jieyu also thanked Yan Mingting. It was a good thing that her child could become a legitimate son.
Yan Mingting stood up and said, "Now that the matter is over, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
He didn't want to stay any longer.
The queen was also old and not good-looking enough. He was really in no mood to stay with her any longer.
On the 15th of each month, he stayed in the queen's palace according to the rules. In fact, he just covered himself with quilts and chatted, and there was no excitement at all.
Zhao Xuanyi couldn't bear the maids in her palace to climb into bed, so Yan Mingting almost abstained from sex during the first two days of the 15th day of the lunar month.
Today is not the 15th of the Lunar New Year. Yan Mingting doesn’t want to be abstinent. Why should I wrong myself when he has a beautiful woman by his side?
Looking at Yan Mingting's decisive departure, Zhao Xuanyi's joy dimmed a lot because he said he would order an adopted child for her.
"Go find that bitch He Wushuang again!" Zhao Xuanyi said angrily. She looked at Zhao Jieyu angrily and said, "Why are you so unlucky? Why are you just a little Jieyu now?"
"You are not one of the nine concubines, nor are you a concubine. After all, you have given birth to a prince. Why are you so useless?" Zhao Xuanyi scolded.
Zhao Jieyu listened to her scolding quietly. She had heard a lot of such words during this time.
Zhao Jieyu lowered her head and smiled bitterly.
Doesn't she want to make a concubine a concubine?
But she knew very well that it was impossible for His Majesty to put her in the same high position as her aunt.
The Zhao family has already given birth to a queen, and it is impossible for her to be promoted to a higher rank. Maybe she will stop at Jieyu in this life.
But it doesn't matter, she still has hope.
As long as her son is crowned prince and inherits the throne after His Majesty's death, she can become the Queen Mother based on her son's worth.
She quietly glanced at Zhao Xuanyi, silently estimated the age gap between their aunt and nephew, and secretly persuaded herself that her aunt was more than 20 years older than her, and she would definitely be able to get rid of her after becoming the Queen Mother.
As long as her aunt and your majesty are gone and her son becomes the new emperor, does she still need to be afraid of others?
So now she just has to endure it.
……
After Yan Mingting returned, he drafted a decree to adopt the prince born to Zhao Jieyu under the name of Queen Zhao Xuanyi. From then on, he would be the legitimate son.
After hearing the news, other concubines who originally didn't take it seriously felt a sense of peace and quiet.
When Zhao Jieyu entered the palace, they knew what the queen had in mind.
After that, Zhao Jieyu got a boy in one fell swoop and was conferred the title of Jieyu by His Majesty. Looking at the way the queen visited the little prince every day, it was clear that her intention was to adopt the child.
But they didn't expect that His Majesty would directly record the child in the Queen's name, making him the confirmed legitimate son.
Qixiang Palace.
"So what about the legitimate son? There is no crown prince." Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled, but her smile looked superficial.
"Even if you are a prince, not many can successfully ascend the throne..." Although the corners of Concubine Shu's mouth seemed to be smiling, her eyes were very cold.
"Zhao Xuanyi, this bitch, thinks that by letting Zhao's girls raise her children, she can make Zhao's family reach a higher level?"
"Haha, let's dream." Concubine Shu said with cold eyes.
Concubine Shu also has children. Her son is a few years older than Zhao Jieyu. Concubine Shu thinks that her son is very smart and talented.
She hoped to train her son so that he might be favored by the emperor and choose him as his heir.
The main hall of Yunjing Palace.
"The queen is really...lucky..." Concubine Xian dropped the chess piece in her hand, with only a gentle expression on her elegant face.
"The Queen is happy to have a son, remember to send her a gift to celebrate." Concubine Xian ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid responded.
"Empress, should we..." Concubine Xian's confidant came up and asked in a low voice.
How old is the little prince?
It is very suitable for a child of this age to die young. After all, there are many children who die young, and the most indispensable thing in the palace is the children who die young.
The queen's legitimate son also died young, right?
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Well, the Queen is blessed with great blessings, but the little prince is not blessed... He is not blessed to enjoy the Queen's blessings..."
"The legitimate son..." Concubine Xian placed another chess piece on the chessboard and said with a smile, "Find a way to sow discord with Concubine Shu's son and let him attack the little prince."
"The drama of brothers killing each other is quite fun to watch, isn't it?" As soon as the stone fell, the black stone instantly killed the white stone without leaving any trace behind.
"Your Majesty is right." The confidant palace maid felt that her master's idea was good. She borrowed a knife to kill people and let them kill each other. This was a good strategy.
Concubine Xian smiled, it took skill to provoke Concubine Shu's son.
If any link is not done well, then the whole game is lost.
She can't lose.
