Chapter 170 The Queen Mother who picked up the bargain is very upset 16
Feng An went to do his work in confusion.
System: "Host, what are you doing?"
"Of course, it's to change the emperor's impression of Liang Bao. If Liang Bao is sent north, he will definitely wither. How would the emperor feel when he sees a withered flower? If the empress is more magnanimous, the emperor will only feel more guilty. I don't expect him to change his sexual orientation. I just want to use a combination of punches to suppress the emperor's love for men and concentrate on reproducing offspring."
System: "Ah! Who would have thought that the emperor at that time wanted to make a man the queen? If it happened in an ordinary family, it would be fine, but in the royal family, it is too absurd."
"System, is there any pill that can change a person's sexual orientation?"
"No, I haven't seen it. Usually it's medication that promotes hormone secretion."
"That doesn't sound like it would be helpful."
"It's really useless. You're the top guy in homosexual relationships. No matter how much testosterone you take, it won't help. If you take estrogen, you might become the bottom guy."
Yun Xi agreed with this and believed that hormone drugs should not be taken casually.
"let it go."
This winter was a time of chaos and war. When the New Year came to an end, the emperor was preparing to offer sacrifices and change his luck, but then he thought of what the Imperial Observatory had said, and he became even more worried. Why was life so difficult?
I hope the queen can give birth to a son, so that I can leave the state affairs to my son and be lazy every day.
"Your Majesty, news has come in that Concubine Li and Lian Qi have passed away. Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Lian Cheng paused, "Go tell the Queen Mother."
Zhang Lai was puzzled, and Lian Cheng looked conflicted.
When Yun Xi heard the news, she thought about it for a long time. Before the late emperor passed away, both Concubine Li and the eleventh prince were still alive. For some reason, Concubine Li escaped burial. Later, Lian Cheng ascended the throne and deprived the eleventh prince of his royal status, but did not take action against Concubine Li. Lian Qi was also blind in one eye, and was destined to have a hard time after becoming a commoner. Concubine Li often subsidized him.
"Find a thin coffin and bury him casually."
Time stretches out memories. After a few years, the emperor and the original owner seemed to have forgotten their hatred and did not attack Concubine Li. Yun Xi thought that with her vengeful character, she would definitely take revenge if she encountered such a thing. Life is short. It is not shameful to endure when you should, and to retaliate when you should. This is called courage.
Zhang Lai thought that the Empress Dowager's reaction was correct. His Majesty was too soft-hearted after all. He only wanted to show the emperor's magnanimity, but he didn't realize that such an emperor would easily allow his subjects to take advantage of him.
Celebrating the New Year in the palace is very complicated. Fortunately, the original owner has already completed the most difficult part. She is the queen mother and can enjoy the New Year in peace. The ones who suffer are the queen and concubines.
"Your Majesty, the list of rewards is ready."
Yun Xi took the gift list with her bare hands, looked at it, and instructed, "The reward for the Meng family will be increased by 10%, the reward for the Lin family, the Shufei's family, will be reduced by 30%, and the reward for the Lin Zhaoyi family will be increased by 10%."
Nanny Yue thought about it for a moment and understood. Concubine Shu loved to stir up trouble among the concubines. Although no harm was caused each time, the Empress Dowager did get angry with her, and this was a warning. As for Concubine Meng and Concubine Ling, one was very smart and the other was very capable. Not to mention the Empress Dowager, the servants also liked them very much.
Nanny Yue took the gift list to the big warehouse in Renshou Palace to choose gifts. The big warehouse was different from Yunxi's small warehouse. Most of the things stored in it were made by the emperor, and their exquisiteness was no less than that of the small warehouse.
"As the most senior person, should I give out red envelopes? Will I receive any filial respect?"
The system wasn't quite sure. "The emperor is your son, so he must show respect to you. Your daughters will come back home on the second day of the New Year. You have two daughters, so they should come to show respect to you, right?"
"Speaking of them, it feels like I haven't seen them for a long time. What are they doing recently?" Yun Xi slid the screen and turned the camera towards the two princess palaces.
"They are busy having children. They heard you say that you would choose a child from the royal family to adopt. They thought it was an opportunity and went back to have children. Unexpectedly, not long after the first pregnancy, the queen got pregnant again. In March of this year, their children will be born one after another."
Yun Xi:......
"If the emperor had half the courage of those two, I could rest easy. Yue'er, give Zhaoyang and Zhaoyue a 50% bonus and say they're my future grandchildren."
Nanny Yue, who hurried over, was shocked. "Ah? The two princesses are pregnant? When did it happen?"
"That's right. He will be born in March this year. Have someone prepare more things for the child, send more supplements, and also send the female doctors and nurses in the palace."
"Yes!"
When the emperor heard that the two sisters were pregnant, he rewarded them with many things and even promised that the children would be made princesses or princes after they were born. As for the prince title, he was not stupid enough to agree to it. If the princess title was given, then it would be given. Unless the child would do great deeds in the future, otherwise it would be better to forget about the prince title.
Zhaoyang and Zhaoyue were feeling depressed, and they felt relieved when they heard that the child could be named a princess. Although the child was an illegitimate child, it was already very good that she could have a good title.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yun Xi asked her two daughters, "Do you want to marry the child's father as your son-in-law? At least the children's reputation will be much better."
Zhaoyang shook his head repeatedly, "Mother, forget it. I like freedom and don't want to be constrained. The children have noble status. Their uncle is His Majesty the Emperor, and their grandmother is the Empress Dowager. Who dares to laugh at them?"
Zhao Yue agreed, "Having a husband is so troublesome. You have to take care of his emotions and face. It's really not beautiful."
Yun Xi:......
Just be happy.
"In that case, whose surname will your child take?"
Zhao Yang probed, "That's a problem. If they take their father's surname, it will easily cause discord among the family. It would be better if they take our surname. Royal brother, what do you think, Queen Mother?"
The emperor frowned, hesitant. Yun Xi said, "As long as I don't have any improper intentions, it doesn't matter if I use your surname."
Lian Cheng nodded, that's what she meant.
Zhao Yue choked on her tea. "Ahem, ahem, mother, what are you thinking? The children don't even know who their father is, how could you possibly have any improper thoughts?"
Originally, she thought that if she didn't know who the father was, it would be easier to be adopted by the emperor. Now that the emperor has his own child, he must be reconciled.
Zhaoyang nodded, "That's right, mother, please don't misunderstand us."
"Okay, I feel relieved with what you said. Don't let things get awkward between relatives."
Yun Xi turned her head and focused all her thoughts on the Queen. There have been a lot of things going on recently, and there have been many palace banquets. Many people are keeping an eye on the Queen. She hopes nothing will go wrong. Those who have read novels know that usually times like this are the most likely to cause trouble, and all kinds of monsters and demons will be in trouble.
After all, not everyone wants to see the queen give birth to the emperor's eldest son safely.
