Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Although the letter sent by General He explained that these gems were obtained after he captured a Xirong spy disguised as a businessman, Concubine Jing also knew that this should be just an excuse used by General He to fool everyone and deal with the emperor.

But there is no need to tell the princess about these.

Concubine Jing smiled lightly, and told the eldest princess what General He wrote in the letter.

The Eldest Princess asked about this just casually, not really interested in the source of these gems, anyway, no matter how these gems came from, since her grandfather gave her jewelry made of these gems, then These are all hers.

On the day the fourth prince was washed for the third time, Luo Chengjing gave the fourth prince a name, and the fourth prince named him Luo Rui.

It was just a name, but it made all kinds of speculations by the ministers in the harem and court.

In Fu'an Palace, Concubine Ming opened her eyes from the state of closing her eyes and resting her mind. The emotion in her eyes flashed, and then she returned to her previous calmness.

"Rui, it's a good name. The emperor probably has high hopes for the fourth prince!"

Congying paused for a while before continuing to beat Concubine Ming's legs, while whispering: "Wang Meiren's father is just a small Zhizhou, no matter what, the Fourth Prince does not have the help of his mother's family. Even if you have that idea, there is not much advantage."

Concubine Ming shook her head when she heard the words, and said: "You don't understand, so what if you don't have the help of your mother's family. As long as the emperor likes it, your emperor will plan for him and clear the obstacles for him."

"But..." Congying said unrelentingly: "But our third prince is also the emperor's biological son, and the third prince is older than the fourth prince."

Da Yong Li Chu has always been established as the eldest son, after all, the third prince occupies the eldest son, the fourth prince wants to surpass the third prince unless the emperor records her under the name of the future queen, or the fourth prince's biological mother Wang Meiren can Become a queen and enter the central palace.

"Now it depends on who the emperor will entrust the fourth prince to be educated. If the emperor directly entrusts the fourth prince to Concubine Shu to be educated, then the fourth prince will be the biggest threat to the third prince in the future."

With Concubine Shu's current favor, if the emperor really handed over the fourth prince to Concubine Shu to raise him, then it would be just around the corner that the fourth prince would become his son.

And even if the emperor did not entrust the fourth prince to Concubine Shu to be raised, but to Concubine Kang or Concubine Xian to be raised, but with Wang Meiren as his biological mother, it is not impossible for the fourth prince to make a leap in the future Become the first son.

After all, Wang Meiren was still favored among the concubines who entered the palace the year before last, and the most important thing was that Wang Meiren was young.

Given her a few years, no one can guarantee where she will go.

Compared with the fourth prince, the biggest disadvantage of their third prince is that they don't have a mother concubine. The fourth prince may become a legitimate son, while the third prince will never become a legitimate son in this lifetime.

Concubine Ming couldn't help frowning when she thought of this, and scolded the Ming family who had been imprisoned in the cold palace again in her heart.

After scolding the Ming family, Concubine Ming thought of Beauty Xia who was brought into Qingren Palace by Concubine Jing.

If Xia Meiren also gave birth to a prince this time, the future road for the third prince may be even more difficult.

Xia Meiren is already in Qingren Palace now, if Xia Meiren gives birth to a prince, the emperor will definitely teach him to Concubine Jing to raise him.

With General He behind Concubine Jing, it means that the child in Xia Meiren's stomach is standing behind General He.

Now that there is going to be a war between Dayong and Xirong, General He, the general guarding Xirong, is more valued than ever.

If the people sent by General He took the opportunity to ask the emperor to make Concubine Jing his queen, I don't know if the emperor would compromise.

And once the emperor compromises, the child in Xia Meiren's belly will become a legitimate son.

Of course, it would be best if the child in Xia Meiren's womb was a girl.

But Concubine Ming felt that since Concubine Jing had tried every means to get Beauty Xia into her palace, Concubine Jing had probably used some special method to determine whether the child in Beauty Xia's belly was a boy or a girl.

If the child in Xia Meiren's womb was a girl, Concubine Jing would not have expended such effort.

Therefore, the child in Xia Meiren's womb is very likely to be a boy.

It's just that even if she guessed this, she can't act rashly at this time. If something happens to the fourth prince or the child in Xia Meiren's belly, the emperor may be the first to suspect her.

In addition, Concubine Jing valued Xia Meiren's stomach so much, even if she wanted to do something, it would not be easy for her.

In this case, let's wait until the child in Xia Meiren's belly is born.

If the child in Xia Meiren's womb is really a prince, maybe the concubine Jing and others behind that child and Wang Meiren and others behind the fourth prince can fight each other.

It would be best if the two sides can fight and lose both sides, even if they can't lose both, it's good if one side loses the ability to compete for that position.

At that time, she only needs to deal with one party.

Now we are waiting to see when Xia Meiren will be born, and who the emperor will entrust the fourth prince to raise.

Concubine Jing didn't take the risk of giving Xia Meiren the medicine even though she was in a hurry after listening to the doctor Zhang's words.

Concubine Jing finally made it to the end of the month, and seeing that it was almost the day that Dr. Zhang said that Beauty Xia was expected to give birth, but Dr. Zhang broke her leg because of the shock of the carriage.

Although it is not very serious, it can hurt the muscles and bones for a hundred days. Although Doctor Zhang's broken leg has been reattached, he still needs to stay in bed to recuperate. Naturally, he can no longer work in the palace.

Physician Zhang had no choice but to take leave of absence from the imperial hospital and recuperate at home.

Xia Meiren has been diagnosed and treated by Imperial Physician Zhang since she became pregnant. At this time, Imperial Physician Zhang can no longer be on duty. The Imperial Hospital can only send another imperial physician to treat Xia Meiren, and replace Zhang Imperial Physician as the guardian of Xia Meiren's delivery. The doctor outside.

The new Imperial Physician surnamed Chen was sent by the Imperial Hospital. Imperial Physician Chen is good at medical skills, and he is no worse than Imperial Doctor Zhang. More importantly, Imperial Physician Chen has just entered the Imperial Hospital in the past two years, and it doesn't matter who he belongs to.

Concubine Jing listened to the information about Imperial Physician Chen from the Great Palace Maid Sujin, her expression was gloomy.

"How could it be such a coincidence? Doctor Zhang broke his leg at this critical moment."

"Ma'am, do you suspect that the accident of Imperial Doctor Zhang is related to that person?" Su Jin said, looking in the direction of the side hall, and said: "Isn't that person lying in bed all the time? And she has always trusted you, Ma'am. She also drank all the medicines prescribed by Doctor Zhang, if she really doubted the empress or Doctor Zhang, she would not drink those medicines prescribed by Doctor Zhang, would she?"

The most important thing is that Dr. Zhang is still the one Xia Meiren wanted for herself and Concubine Jing.

Su Jin felt that Xia Meiren had absolutely no reason to cause Doctor Zhang to break her leg.
