   Chapter 203 Making things difficult (1)

  Lu Mingyu is healthy and strong, and there is no pregnancy reaction at all.

   However, Queen Qiao sent someone to prepare a soft sedan to pick him up, which was also a good idea. Lu Mingyu naturally could not refuse, accepted it calmly, and took the soft sedan chair to Shouning Palace.

   Along the way, I don’t know how many palace servants and courtiers quietly looked around.

   So, there are never real secrets in the palace. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at it and guessing, and the news that the second prince and concubine is pregnant has quietly spread.

   This is also what the Empress Dowager Zhao wanted to toss her on purpose.

   Want to raise your baby with peace of mind? impossible!

   "The slave and maid have seen the second prince and the concubine." Outside the Shouning Palace, all the maids came together to greet him.

  Lu Mingyu stepped out of the soft sedan chair with the support of Cailan, and said lightly, "Go to the Empress Dowager, and the grandson-in-law Lu has come to greet the imperial grandmother."

   This time, Empress Dowager Zhao did not leave her alone.

   After all, having a pregnant granddaughter-in-law waiting outside the hall was too dazzling. There are many ways to make things difficult for the grandson-in-law. This method is too crude and obvious.

  Lu Mingyu entered the Shouning Palace under the guidance of the palace servants.

  Lu Mingyu glanced at the look of Queen Qiao's worried expression, and glanced at Concubine Qin Xian, who seemed to be concerned but was waiting for a good show.

   Then he went up to the front and gave a salute.

   Empress Dowager Zhao laughed and said, "Get up quickly, sit down and talk."

  …

  When Lu Mingyu sat down, the Empress Dowager Zhao's loving expression was not mentioned: "You haven't entered the palace for two days, and Aijia remembers it very much. After asking the Queen, I know that you are happy."

   "At the age of Aijia, I was looking forward to seeing my great-grandson soon. As soon as you entered the door, there was good news, and Aijia was really happy."

Facing the eager and joyful Empress Dowager Zhao, Lu Mingyu showed just the right amount of shyness and joy: "My grandson-in-law didn't expect that there would be a good news so soon. Whether it is a son or a daughter in her belly, the grandson-in-law is not sure. If she has a daughter in the future , I just hope that the imperial grandmother doesn't dislike it."

   Empress Dowager Zhao said, "Aijia dares to assert that this child must be a great-grandson!"

   This is the benefit of being a queen mother. Anyway, I want a great-grandson.

  You grandson-in-law, worry about raising a baby!

  Lu Mingyu didn't seem to see that the Empress Dowager Zhao was harboring malicious intentions, and replied with a smile: "Being a mother, whether it is a son or a daughter, it is the same joy."

   Empress Dowager Zhao raised her eyebrows and smiled: "That also has to be a husband and a son. Since the eldest prince and concubine entered the door, Ai's family has been looking forward to it for several years, but she has not been looking forward to her great-grandson. Now I am counting on you to become a man in one fell swoop."

   Queen Qiao couldn't bear it any longer, opened her mouth and said, "It's a happy event to be pregnant, and it's too early to talk about a man and a woman. Back then, my daughter-in-law was also married to Hui'an, and then Ajing. It's also a happy event to bloom first and then bear fruit."

   Empress Dowager Zhao said tactfully and meanly: "What is the first flowering and then the fruit, that is your belly is useless. Look at Meng Shi, you have a son when you enter the door. Qin Shi and Su Shi are also born sons."

  Queen Joe: "..."

   Queen Qiao was trembling with anger.

   "The grandmother said these words, but the granddaughter-in-law really does not agree."

Lu Mingyu's voice sounded faintly: "The mother is the father's wife. What is a right wife? Three matchmakers and six hires, eight carry a large sedan chair to marry back, and enter the ancestral hall to worship ancestors, which is recorded in the genealogy. Of course, having children is important, but more importantly, It is to take charge of the central feeder and take care of the inner house."

   "Let's not talk about a few concubines, even the successor to fill the house, and the main wife can't be compared."

   Empress Dowager Zhao: "..."

   The last sentence is really too heartbreaking!

   Wasn't Empress Dowager Zhao the successor?

   This time, the person who was so pale with anger was replaced by Empress Dowager Zhao.

   Empress Dowager Zhao slammed the table, the teacup on the table was shaken, and a crisp sound came out: "Damn! Dare to say such things in front of Aijia! You make fun of Aijia for not being able to fill the house!"

  Concubine Qin Xian, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager Zhao. She seemed to be comforting and was actually provoking the fire: "The Empress Dowager calms down. The second prince definitely didn't mean that. She was in a hurry and said the wrong thing."

   Then rushed to Lu Mingyu and said, "Don't hurry up and admit your mistake to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is kind and kind and won't punish you."

Lu Mingyu restrained his smile and said lightly: "Concubines are always concubines, and they are not worthy of being compared with the real wife at all. After the house is filled, the concubine ceremony is also performed in front of the deceased original tablet. This has been handed down since the previous dynasty. rule."

   "I'm telling the truth, I don't know what's wrong? I also ask Concubine Xian to teach me!"

  Concubine Qin Xian was choked.

Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes were about to burst into flames, and she pointed at Lu Mingyu: "Okay, what a Lu family! In front of Aijia, you dared to make fun of Aijia's successor. You didn't take Aijia in your eyes at all. Aijia will have someone send a letter to the emperor and ask the emperor to judge."

   How angry is the Queen Mother Zhao, how calm is Lu Mingyu.

   Comparing the two, you can see who has the upper hand at a glance.

   However, Empress Dowager Zhao also has a trump card. If you can't argue with your tongue, then ask your son to complain. Anyway, what Lu Mingyu said today was a big taboo.

  Because Emperor Yongjia was also not happy for anyone to mention the fact that he was the successor.

   Queen Qiao naturally knew this very well, a heart suddenly raised, and she winked at Lu Mingyu again and again.

Lu Mingyu glanced at Queen Qiao soothingly, and then said to the Queen Mother Zhao: "My father is going to the court to deal with major affairs of state affairs. A little quarrel, please don't disturb the court. It will also prevent it from being heard by the courtiers, and the grandmother will ask again. Get a bad reputation."

   Empress Dowager Zhao was so angry that she could hear her, and said sternly: "What Aijia does, it's not your turn to criticize. Aijia has to see, who dares to say that Aijia is not a word."

Lu Mingyu pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Grandma's insistence, grandson-in-law can't do anything about it." Then, she called the maid behind Queen Qiao to come over: "You went to the Golden Palace to deliver the letter, and said that the grandmother was angry and unhappy, please the emperor immediately Stopped the morning and came to Shouning Palace."

   The waiter responded neatly and stepped back.

   The whole process was fast and quick, and there was no chance for Empress Dowager Zhao to react at all.

   Queen Qiao reacted at this time, secretly relieved.

  Concubine Qin Xian was not slow to respond. She already knew that something was wrong. She hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager Zhao: "The Empress Dowager will calm down and call the servants back!"

   The key point is that the one who delivered the letter was the servant of Jiaofang Hall. When he went to the Golden Throne Hall, he didn't know how to add fuel to it!

   Empress Dowager Zhao was so angry that no one could listen to her words: "Aijia is about to see the emperor! Shut up for me too!"

  Concubine Qin Xian had to shut up, crying inwardly.

   It's over!

   Today's matter, I don't know how it will end.

  Emperor Yongjia was a filial son and a diligent in government affairs. How could Emperor Yongjia not be angry for disturbing the early dynasty and delaying state affairs for a little quarrel?

  When the time comes, who will be the punching bag scapegoat?
