Chapter 210 Shen Zhinian and Jiang Wange meet
Concubine Liang was the daughter of the Grand Tutor.
Because of this relationship, she and the emperor grew up together and had very close contacts since childhood.
Later, Nangong Xuanyu emerged in the battle for the throne, and many people believed that he would be the future crown prince.
If it weren't for the fact that since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Queen Mother could only come from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion or the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, I'm afraid Concubine Liang would have become his principal wife.
This has always been a thorn in Queen Jiang's heart.
When Concubine Liang married into the palace as a concubine, Queen Jiang was fighting with Concubine Liu and had no time to deal with her.
When Concubine Ke Liang was still waiting to be married, she was already known for her virtue in the capital. After entering the palace, she became even more gentle and kind, and was very considerate in her dealings with people. The entire palace praised her highly.
There were even many people who discussed in private that Concubine Liang was more like a legal wife than she, the legal wife, except that she lost because her family background was not as good as hers.
Queen Jiang had always been resentful of Concubine Liang. How could she not hate him after hearing similar words every day?
Later, Concubine Liang gave birth to the eldest son of the palace, and her status became even more noble.
Before the eldest prince died, Queen Jiang's position was already precarious. She finally got pregnant, but the baby died in her womb.
She was worried every day that after His Majesty ascended the throne, Concubine Liang would use her son's status to replace her as the legal wife!
There has been a long-standing grudge between the two.
"That bitch is always good at pretending to be a good person! And there are many people in the harem who are deceived by her and think she is really a soft-hearted Bodhisattva. Ha!"
"This time she is meddling in other people's business again, and she is meddling in Concubine Meng's affairs. She is so idle!"
Gao Yunhuai said in a gentle voice: "Queen, please calm down!"
"Women in the harem without offspring are like rootless duckweed. No matter how experienced they are, they can't make any waves!"
At this point, he suddenly realized that it was not only Consort Liang who had a long career but no children, but also the Empress...
"My servant spoke out of turn, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Gao Yunhuai immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "What I mean is that Concubine Liang helped Concubine Meng not just out of kindness, but probably because she had her eyes on Concubine Meng's belly."
"With Concubine Liang's qualifications and family background, if she has another child, it is not impossible for her to be promoted to Imperial Concubine. The thing you are most worried about may happen..."
If Gao Yunhuai understood it, how could Queen Jiang not know it?
"Her own son is dead, and she wants to take someone else's child. How can I give her such an opportunity! Concubine Meng's baby... I want her to not give birth to it! Do you understand?"
Gao Yunhuai nodded solemnly: "I know that your Majesty's eldest son must be born to a concubine from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If there are other children who want to block your Majesty's way, I will eliminate them one by one!"
Queen Jiang lay on the couch, her eyes gradually softening: "Over the years, only you and Fanghua have been with me..."
Gao Yunhuai's eyes no longer had the fierceness from before, but were filled with tenderness: "No matter where the Majesty is, this servant will stay with the Majesty for the rest of her life."
Queen Jiang coughed a few times and asked intermittently, "There are so many guards in the Zhenguo Mansion, and your skills are among the best. Back then, your dream was to fight on the battlefield and become a famous general. But in the end, for this palace..."
"Gao Yunhuai, do you have any regrets over the years?"
Gao Yunhuai smiled gently, and his eyes were filled with deep affection as he looked at her: "I remember the day when I first met Your Majesty, I was seventeen years old, and Your Majesty was only fourteen, but she had already grown into a stunning beauty. At that first glance, I thought I saw a fairy descending to earth..."
"From then on, I will do anything for you without regrets."
Queen Jiang felt somewhat complicated.
However, as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, securing the throne of queen and protecting the glory of the family are more important to her than life.
Other people and other things were never within her consideration.
"…I only met Lady Wen from a distance on the New Year's Eve banquet, so I am not familiar with this sister's temperament. Send someone to Yawen Garden to tell Lady Wen to come see me."
"Yes."
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Nanny Lin said that it is not good for pregnant women to always lie down. On the contrary, moderate exercise is helpful to physical health and will make childbirth easier.
These days, Shen Zhinian has developed the habit of taking a walk in the Imperial Garden after dinner, accompanied by a group of palace servants.
But her foot had not yet healed, and it was not suitable for her to bear too much force, so she could only lie in bed to recover. While she was not used to it, she also felt a little suffocated.
Nanny Lin knew that pregnant women's moods were changeable and that they should not be unhappy, so she immediately coaxed her, "The wintersweets, spring orchids, daffodils, dahlias, and winter jasmines in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. Your Majesty can take a sedan chair to enjoy the flowers."
"Looking at the bright colors will make you feel better."
In his past and present lives, Shen Zhinian has always been a person with a very stable inner core, rarely experiencing frequent mood swings due to any reason.
But since she got pregnant, her mood has become more sensitive, and sometimes she would get upset over the smallest things. When the mood has passed, it is hard not to find it funny when she thinks back on it.
When Nanny Lin told her that this was a normal phenomenon for pregnant women, her heart dropped back into her chest. She should try to satisfy herself as much as possible when conditions permit.
"Then let's go to the Imperial Garden to get some fresh air."
Xiao Zhouzi said, "I will go and fetch the sedan chair right away."
Admiring the beautiful scenery in the imperial garden, Shen Zhinian gently touched her belly, feeling helpless yet somewhat magical.
Why do women’s emotions become changeable when they are pregnant?
After crossing a path, Shen Zhinian and his group met another group of people.
"This servant pays respects to Concubine Rou. May your majesty be blessed with good health!"
After the little palace maid finished her greetings, she quickly reminded Jiang Wange: "My lady, that is Concubine Rou."
There were too many people at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and Jiang Wange had just transmigrated into a book and was too busy to take care of herself to notice Shen Zhinian.
For her, this was the first time she met Shen Zhinian.
In fact, Jiang Wange recognized Shen Zhinian at a glance without the little palace maid reminding her.
Because this woman is just like what is described in the book, charming and charming. Although her appearance is only 70%, her enchanting and charming temperament makes everyone's eyes uncontrollably attracted to her wherever she appears.
Jiang Wange knew that every era had its own rules. It would take thousands of years of subtle changes for progress to happen, and it could not be changed by one person.
Since she traveled to ancient times, she had to adapt to the rules of this era. If she was unconventional and shouted that everyone was equal, no one would appreciate her uniqueness and would only think that she had a brain problem.
Her final fate was to be executed for insubordination.
Therefore, Jiang Wange did not insist on being aloof like modern people, and bowed to Shen Zhinian according to the palace rules: "I greet Madam Roupin, may Madam Rou live in peace and happiness!"
