"How does the queen mother feel?"

The Empress Dowager didn't expect the Emperor to look at the portrait and ask her instead, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it's all good."

"What about the queen?"

Lu Hebei signaled the little eunuch behind him to hand the portrait to the queen.

The queen pursed her lips and raised her hand to take over the portrait and read it carefully. She knew most of the girls in the portrait. Even if she didn't, there were small characters marked on the side of the portrait, which clearly marked the person's name, birth date, and He Fu. .

Gongsun Wanying raised her head and looked at the emperor opposite. Recently, the emperor seemed to have lost some weight, and her eyes could not see the original look. She always thought that this man only had her in his heart.

But now, the emperor asked her to choose a concubine for him!

The empress wanted to ask her to clear her throat before speaking, but it was in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, Gongsun Wanying endured and endured so much that she finally said, "I think everything is good, too."

Not only are they good, the portraits sent to the Empress Dowager are all outstanding among the boudoir women in Beijing.

The woman in the top portrait is the best-looking woman, who has just reached the age of hairpin, just like the petals of a flower.This woman is from the Zhao family in southern Anhui. The Zhao family is a century-old family in southern Anhui. Several of the descendants of the family are officials in Beijing.

This Zhao's father was born in Erjia and is currently the prefect of Lin'an.

The woman in the second portrait, Gongsun Wanying, is even more familiar with Murong Ru.Her grandfather was the former Taifu. When the old and the new were changing, he jumped down from the Gangu Temple and claimed his loyal name.

Murong Ru's father is the current crown prince, Shao Fu. It is said that this man is knowledgeable and talented. Even a child as young as Xing'er can listen to his class without dozing off.

Murong Ru has an older sister named Murong Wan, who used to be Gongsun Wanying's best friend. The two have known each other since they were young, and they have always had a good relationship. Later, Murong Wan married far away, and the two gradually became estranged, and there was no news.

She still remembered the appearance of Murong Ru, who was several years younger than her and Murong Wan, with twin girls combing, and always liked to run behind them.

A very sweet and cute little girl.

Now, this little girl has grown up, can she marry?
How old is Murong Ru this year?
Thirteen or fourteen?

Gongsun Wanying retched as if thinking of something.

She always felt that these portraits were a bit weird, but she didn't want to understand where the weirdness was.

Now she knows.

The woman in these portraits, the oldest Zhao's daughter, has just reached the age of Ji.The rest of them are all thirteen or fourteen years old, not yet Ji's age.

Lu Zhaoyi in the palace did not catch up with Ji, because Lu Zhaoyi was young, and the emperor was reprimanded by the queen mother in front of her.

No wonder!
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help retching a few times.

It's really disgusting, how dare these people, they are not afraid of trying to figure out the holy will like this...

Gongsun Wanying's eyes fell on the emperor opposite, she was in a daze for a moment, as if she had forgotten what the emperor was like in the beginning.

At that time, she had just married the emperor who was still the King of Qin. It was rumored that the emperor had a weakness since he was a child, and his health was not very good.

When Concubine Zhou was in power, when the rumors spread the most, someone sneaked in and said that King Qin would not live to be 25 years old.

A prince with a weak body is not suitable to be a crown prince, which is why the emperor has not appointed a prince.

When Gongsun Wanying was enshrined in the Qin Palace, let alone her relatives, even her own mother secretly wiped away tears several times, fearing that she would become a widow once she married into the Qin Palace.

The uncle's cousin has been envious and jealous of her identity since she was a child, and when she heard that she was going to marry the frail and sick King Qin, she even secretly persuaded her to escape the marriage.

It was her grandfather and father who supported her all the time and told her that even if the path she chose was full of thorns, she must go on bravely.

When the former emperor chose her to be Princess Qin, everyone thought it was because of her grandfather, but they didn't know that it was because she fell in love with His Majesty, who was still King Qin at that time, and risked being a widow to marry her.

It was she who begged her grandfather to be the queen she is today.

Lu Hebei frowned and looked at the retching queen, with worry in his tone: "Wanying?"

Gongsun Wanying waved her hand, signaling that she was fine.

Since she was pregnant, her bones have been in good shape, she can eat and sleep, and she has no morning sickness for a long time.

But now, looking at the immature faces in these portraits, Gongsun Wanying still shuddered and couldn't help retching again and again.

"What happened to the queen?"

The Empress Dowager looked over, "But you are cold, why do you keep retching?"

Gongsun Wanying's pregnancy was very good, she only had nausea for more than ten days, she ate well and slept soundly, if it wasn't for Wu Yueniang's troubles, or the new beauty Lu Qingluan in the palace, Gongsun Wanying said she was pregnant this time. Maybe I can grow more than ten or twenty catties of meat.

"A concubine...a concubine..."

Gongsun Wanying hesitated, and didn't know how to answer for a long time.

It was the emperor who said, "Is it because the ink on this drawing paper smells bad?"

Gongsun Wanying wanted to refute, if she said that she retched because of the smell of the ink, would the empress dowager and the emperor think that she was jealous and acted like this?
Thinking over and over again in her heart, Gongsun Wanying's voice was astringent: "It's because I was blown by the wind last night, and I just smelled the ink today, and I feel uncomfortable."

"Since the queen can't smell the ink, then take it down and burn it."

The queen mother snorted coldly before continuing, "A group of shameless people dare to speculate on the holy will without authorization, and their hearts are to be punished."

Not to mention that the queen saw the strangeness here, in fact, the emperor and the queen mother also saw the meaning of these people sending portraits.

The emperor and empress did not dare to say anything when they heard the empress dowager swearing.

The emperor touched his nose in embarrassment, but he didn't dare to defend himself.

If these people who sell their daughters for glory are shameless, wouldn't the emperor who has just adopted Lu Zhaoyi, who is not yet mature, be even more shameless?

Lu Hebei was innocent, but he couldn't defend himself.

The queen mother knew that he was innocent, but the queen didn't know that!

Lu Hebei's gaze fell on the pale-faced queen opposite him, and his heart ached. Singe's sending Lu Qingluan into the palace had indeed wronged the queen.

But if you don't do this, after he dies, those courtiers must let the emperor choose the draft on the grounds that there is no space in the harem and the royal family is not fertile.

How can the song be.

No matter whether he chooses or not, as long as Lu Qingluan is standing in front of him, no one dares to suspect that the emperor has something wrong with his body.

As for the queen, it would be best if she could understand clearly, but it would be fine if she couldn't understand.

When Xing'er grows up, presumably the queen will also understand the painstaking efforts of him and Yan Ge, and will no longer hate him.

The portrait was burned by the empress dowager. It is said that the empress is pregnant, so I can't smell the ink.

When the girls who sent the portraits heard the news, they felt panicked, fearing that they would offend the queen mother and empress by taking this step too hastily.

On the contrary, those few women who were given portraits were ashamed, angry and grateful.

This fever completely cut off the possibility of them entering the palace, but it also made those who did not want to enter the palace slightly relieved.
