The princess's funeral was held in a grand and dignified manner, and many people came to express their condolences. Everyone had to go to the front yard to keep a vigil, but Jin Xin didn't need it.
But she also had to burn incense every day. After burning incense, she was driven back and was not allowed to stay in front of the spirit.
According to the rules, he will stay in the mansion for seven days, and then he will be buried after seven days.
Jin Xin stood at the highest point of the palace and could see the mourning procession outside the palace, slowly setting off outside the city.
There was a lot of melancholy in my heart.
She was twenty years old and was in her prime. She spent all her efforts in this house and got nothing in the end. Nothing in her life was worth it.
As for yourself, are you going to follow this path?
But Jin Xin asked herself, she is not the one whose emotions dominate everything. Jiang Yushu cares about Prince Rui and is obsessed with his love. But for a person like Prince Rui, he only cares about his own dominance. For him, women are just life. condiment, a tool for him to vent his stress.
Maybe he liked this tool very much for a while, but he was very sober and would not have any feelings for the tool.
Jin Xin has understood that she cannot surrender her feelings. Now that she has entered the mansion, she has no way out and can only go on.
Turn around and go downstairs, not thinking about it anymore.
At the end of March, Jin Xin was already more than five months pregnant. Her belly was swollen and she was wearing less clothes, so she could see the round bulge. But looking behind her, she couldn't tell that she was pregnant at all. woman.
According to Dr. Chen, she should walk for an hour every day, preferably two hours, so that the delivery would go smoothly.
King Rui asked Dr. Chen before if the baby was a boy or a girl. Dr. Chen said it was most likely a boy. King Rui was very happy after hearing this.
He is also more interested in Jin Xin.
And the Gao family has not been released yet, because the princess just passed away, and if he were released, it would cause discussion from outside.
Prince Rui is currently in a good situation, so naturally he doesn't want to ruin his reputation over trivial matters and give the two princes an excuse to interfere with him.
As for the last assassination, after investigation, all the evidence pointed to the King of Shu. For this matter, the King of Shu was impeached by officials and participated in several books. Finally, he pushed out his confidants to take the blame. All the confidants confessed, but the emperor's attitude Unknown, after he was punished, the matter was considered over.
As summer comes, the emperor's health seems to be getting better again.
But at this time, the direction of the court situation became strange. Many officials expressed their wishes to the emperor, asking the emperor to establish the throne as soon as possible, and the candidate was naturally the second prince, King Wei.
The King of Wei is an honest man, always kind, conscientious in his work, and has a well-organized family structure. He is the prince after King Xian. In any case, he is a suitable candidate.
But such a situation was naturally not what the emperor wanted to see. The more the ministers unanimously supported King Wei, the more the emperor would not mention it, and he was extremely dissatisfied with King Wei's wooing of officials.
But the matter of establishing a crown prince has been raised and will eventually be implemented.
Jin Xin doesn't care about outside things and focuses on raising a baby.
She is now six months old and will give birth in the autumn.
Cui Gu checked Jin Xin's pulse as usual, and there was no problem. Jin Xin asked, "Chen Yuyi said that it is most likely a boy. Cui Gu, what do you think?"
Cui Gu nodded and acknowledged her words, "Congratulations, Concubine, it is indeed a boy."
Jin Xin looked at her round belly and felt relieved.
She is not patriarchal, even if it is a daughter, she feels good about it. However, if the first child is a boy, it will help her fight for what she wants. Even if the second child gives birth to a daughter, she will also have a sister who is loved by her brother. Rui The king's first daughter would never treat these two children badly.
Fortunately, it was a boy, so she didn't need to rush to give birth to a second child, and she would have to fight for the position of princess.
Since Jiang Yushu was buried, Cui Gu and Qiao'er came to her with all the things Jiang Yushu had before her death.
Cuigu is a medical woman. Although she treats diseases, she is also good at poisoning. She administered all the infertility medicines that the women in the backyard have taken.
According to what she said, when Gao's body was pregnant with her miscarriage, Jiang Yushu had put medicine in the soup she gave her, which had already injured the palace body. The red gold bracelet in Concubine Lin's hand also contained medicine in the hidden compartment. If she wears it, she cannot get pregnant. As time goes by, she will naturally not be able to give birth.
Concubine Liu was very scheming, and Jiang Yushu's people couldn't penetrate her. But when she had a miscarriage, she was bleeding all over the ground before she was discovered, and she was in trouble. Qiao'er said that they knew Liu Concubine's song While taking the medicine to induce pregnancy, the prince didn't go all the year round, he went at least twice a month, but he couldn't get pregnant, which was probably very difficult.
As for those concubines who had intercourse with each other, the princess naturally solved the problem in various ways.
After Jin Xin knew this, she felt really unspeakable. She was very glad that she had not been sterilized by Jiang Yushu. The method was indeed terrible.
But she didn't dare to really believe Cui Gu and Qiao'er. Jiang Yushu kept them by her side just to control herself and not have any second thoughts.
It cannot be ruled out that Cuigu's medical skills are good and she is indeed a good helper, but Qiaoer is not good at it. This girl does not really serve her at all. Since she came to this house, she has treated herself like her master, and even treated some of Jinxin's behaviors. They will all point fingers.
Jiang Yushu's things, except the dead things, and the money were all returned to her account, but the shop workers and the servants still listened to Qiao'er.
In other words, all the money has to be managed by Qiao'er before it can reach Jinxin's hands. Under such circumstances, Qiao'er's ambition will inevitably be nurtured.
She was only twenty, and it was time for her to get married at this age, but she had no plans to leave the palace, saying she wanted to help Jin Xin win the position of princess.
Jin Xin also smiled and didn't say much, but she gave orders and found a suitable person, planning to send Qiao'er away.
At noon, the prince rushed to Yalanxuan just after leaving court. He seemed to be in a good mood. Looking at Jin Xin's round belly, his mood became even better.
Jin Xin poured him tea, and seeing the joy on his brows, she asked with a smile, "Did something happy happen to you today, Your Majesty?"
"Of course it was a happy thing. The emperor rebuked King Wei. He spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, which caused unrest in the back house. The Yangzhou thin horse actually beat Princess Wei, bruised her face, and reported it to the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered His concubine was strangled, and the King of Wei was asked to think about his mistakes behind closed doors."
When Jin Xin heard this, she remembered that when she met Princess Wei on New Year's Eve, her temper was a little abnormal at that time. She insulted someone else's concubine. It seemed that she was so angry that she was a little bit crazy. .
King Wei really deserves to be punished for being so ignorant.
"The King of Wei is really acting like a monster. Such a person is really not worthy of competing with the prince." Jin Xin agreed.
Prince Rui grabbed Jin Xin's hand, pulled her to sit on him, put his hand on her belly, and said gently, "Did you know? The Imperial Master watched the stars at night and said that the purple star is about to descend to earth, which means that the royal family is pregnant. The woman is likely to give birth to this extraordinary child, but there is no concubine in the palace who is pregnant. The only pregnant women in the royal family are you and a concubine of the King of Shu, who just had a miscarriage yesterday."
"How did it flow?" Jin Xin asked subconsciously.
King Rui smiled when he heard this, and said meaningfully, "Of course he should have left before he was born."
She met his ambitious eyes and was shocked.
Was this Ziweixing planned by him, or was it really predicted by the National Master?
