Chapter 874

In the Kunning Palace, the queen didn't see Xiao Wenyu, and was full of displeasure, but it wasn't easy to show it in front of Lu Jiao.

She only pretended to be concerned and asked Lu Jiao: "Concubine Shu's child will be okay?"

Lu Jiao chuckled: "Don't worry, Empress, Concubine Shu's child will be fine."

The queen smiled happily: "That's really great. Your Majesty can have two children at once. I'm really happy for Your Majesty."

Lu Jiao raised her head and glanced at the queen. She didn't believe that the queen was happy, but she didn't point her out when she said this, but the queen must not be stupid to touch Concubine Shu's stomach.

Lu Jiao said while thinking, "Queen Langniang is His Majesty's wife. It's a good idea."

After Lu Jiao examined the queen, she confirmed that her stomach was fine.

"Empress, don't worry, the fetus is fine, it's fine, empress is at ease."

The Empress looked at Lu Jiao with a look of hesitation. Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Does the Empress have something to ask my wife?"

The queen suddenly lowered her voice and asked softly: "Mrs. Zhou Guo, can you find out whether I am pregnant with a man or a woman?"

Originally, the empress paid special attention to her belly, but now that concubine Shu is pregnant, she is even more nervous. She wholeheartedly hopes that there will be a prince in her belly.

If the prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, she will not be afraid of the child in Concubine Shu's belly. Even if Concubine Shu has a boy in her belly, it will at most be the second prince.

But if she was pregnant with a princess and Concubine Shu was pregnant with a prince, then Concubine Shu's son would be the eldest son of the emperor.

This is not good for her.

So the queen really wanted to know whether her belly was a boy or a girl. Lu Jiao glanced at the queen and said slowly: "My empress, please forgive me. I can't find out whether your belly is a boy or a girl, but whether it's a prince or a princess , Your Majesty will love it."

Xiao Wenyu even loves his sister Xie Linglong very much, let alone the princess born by him, he must like it.

The queen gave Lu Jiao a deep look, could it be the same?

She heard that Mrs. Zhou Guo's medical skills are very good. Logically, she should be able to tell whether the child in her belly is a prince or a princess. Now she doesn't want to say, is she pregnant with a princess?

"Mrs. Zhou Guo, I'm not pregnant with a princess, right?"

Lu Jiao immediately said in displeasure, "What nonsense is your empress talking about?"

"Is that a prince?"

The queen tried to tell from Lu Jiao's face whether she was pregnant with a prince or a princess.

Lu Jiao didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, she got up and packed her things to leave the palace.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, the queen quickly said with a smile, "Don't be upset, Mrs. Zhou, I just joked."

Lu Jiao said flatly, "That's good."

She said goodbye and left the palace.

One night passed, Zhao's daughter was so arrogant and domineering that Concubine Shu fell down, and the fact that she almost had a miscarriage leaked out.

Many people in the streets and alleys of the capital talked about this incident, and all of them said that Zhao's daughter was arrogant and vicious.

When the Zhao family heard the news, they immediately sent a post to the palace.

After receiving the post, the queen didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and sent someone directly to ask the emperor for instructions.

Xiao Wenyu did not object to Mrs. Zhao's coming to the palace to visit nobleman Zhao.

Right now, his liquidation of the Zhao family has just begun, and it is not appropriate to confront the Zhao family head-on.

"Yes."

Only after receiving His Majesty's oral order did the queen dare to announce that the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion entered the palace to meet Zhao nobleman.

Mrs. Zhao already knew that the queen in the palace was pregnant, and concubine Shu was pregnant, so is her granddaughter pregnant?

When the old lady entered the palace, she specially brought a nanny who knew medicine into the palace, just to check on Zhao Guiren to see if she was pregnant, and the old lady wanted to see if Zhao Guiren had been drugged by the present, but she knew that the emperor He is afraid of their Zhao family.

The Supreme Emperor had drugged Zhao's daughter before, did the new emperor drug Zhao this time?

If nobleman Zhao is drugged, it means that His Majesty is as jealous of their Zhao family as the Supreme Emperor, then there is no need for their Zhao family to hang themselves on His Majesty, they have to find a way out.

However, after the inspection by the people brought by the old lady, it was found that Zhao Guiren had not been drugged at all, but she was not pregnant either.

Mrs. Zhao asked Zhao Guiren: "Has Your Majesty favored you?"

Zhao Guiren was a little embarrassed when he heard Mrs. Zhao's question, and lowered his head and said, "I do, and Your Majesty dotes on me very much."

After hearing Zhao Guiren's words, the old lady sighed. This granddaughter's luck is not very good. His Majesty favors her, and she is not pregnant.

But after thinking about it, I feel that the time is too short.

She can't blame her granddaughter, but thinking of her granddaughter being grounded now, the old lady poked Zhao Guiren's forehead with a look of hatred.

"You, it's really not enough to achieve success, but more than failure. What are you fighting with Concubine Shu, and you are grounded? How many times have I told you to strive for favor and get pregnant early. Now the queen is pregnant, Concubine Shu. If you are pregnant, you are the only one who is not pregnant, and you have been grounded."

Zhao Guiren suddenly became dumb, and looked at the old lady nervously: "Grandmother, what should we do now?"

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow, I will ask your second uncle to make an apology. I believe His Majesty will give the Zhao family face and relieve you. In the future, you will work hard to win favor and conceive the emperor's heir as soon as possible. If you can give birth to the prince in one fell swoop, It is good for you and our Zhao family."

After hearing what the old lady said, Zhao Guiren immediately grabbed the old lady's sleeve and promised: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will be obedient and not cause trouble."

"I hope you will do what you say, and you almost caused Concubine Shu to have a miscarriage before. His Majesty must be annoyed at you now. You have to coax His Majesty a little bit and win his heart over."

"I see, I will."

The old lady said some more words before leaving the palace.

In the morning court the next day, the Zhao family really pleaded guilty in court, saying that the Zhao family did not know how to educate and almost harmed His Majesty's heir, and begged His Majesty to come down.

Xiao Wenyu looked at the second son of the Zhao family who was kneeling down, and slightly curled his lips. The Zhao family is indeed an old fox.

Their family pleaded guilty, if he refused to let go, it would appear that he, the emperor, is not very tolerant.

Xiao Wenyu looked at Zhao Shilang at the bottom with dim eyes, and slowly said: "Zhao Qing, get up, the Zhao family is the mainstay of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the old lady is also a model of a famous lady. The daughters brought up by the Zhao family are not bad. Yes, nobleman Zhao must have lost his mind."

Zhao Shilang hurriedly kowtowed to thank Shengen, and Xiao Wenyu issued a decree after he came down to the court, which spared Zhao Guiren's feet, but did not promote her status.

Zhao Guiren originally thought that His Majesty would come over in the evening, but that night, His Majesty went down to Concubine Hua's palace.

When Zhao Guiren heard this, he was so angry that he dropped two precious vases, thinking of Concubine Cui again in his heart.
