Chapter 506
She was about to call Yu Ping to go to the emperor's side when an eunuch who had just gone out to see Zhou Xin came back and said. "Empress, Eunuch Wang is here, passing the message to Empress Wei, that your majesty must go over to Shouning Palace."
Old Madam Wei: "..."
Her finally calming mind became tense again, as she squeezed the right armrest tightly, and veins appeared on the back of her hand.
She had to think more. After all, Lord Chengen was the elder brother of Empress Dowager Liu, so he framed her husband like this, would this also be Empress Dowager Liu's intentions?
At this time, Qin Jiu stood up and said, "Auntie, it's also been a long time since I've greeted the Empress Dowager, so I'll accompany you to Shouning Palace."
Empress Wei nodded in agreement and reassured Old Madam Wei again before leaving the old madam to wait at Fengluan Palace while she went to Shouning Palace with Qin Jiu.
The weather in the first month was still very cold, and the thick cloak could not block the cold wind. Fortunately, the palace servants of Fengluan Palace thoughtfully prepared a hand stove for Qin Jiu.
Eunuch Wang walked at Empress Wei's side, lagging half a step behind, and reminded in one sentence, "Empress, the noble consort and his highness the second prince are also in the Shouning Palace."
At this time, the atmosphere in the Shouning Palace was quite lively.
Noble Consort Liu smiled and said to Empress Dowager Liu, "Empress Mother, yesterday I even purposely had Imperial Physician Wang diagnose Qin's Xin pulse, and in all likelihood, the one she's carrying is a male fetus."
Imperial Physician Wang specializes in gynecology. Empress Dowager Liu smiled so much that her eyes squinted when she heard this, and earnestly advised Gu Jing. "Second Prince, you're about to be a father, and it's time for you to grow up so that you can do your job well."
Although Empress Dowager Liu looked down upon Qin Xin, the child in her stomach was royal blood and her great-grandson. For this reason, she temporarily tolerated the slight displeasure in her heart and was still looking forward to the arrival of this great-grandson.
A sinister light flashed through Gu Jing's eyes that disappeared in a flash. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Grandmother, don't worry, your grandson will strive for success in the future."
Empress Dowager Liu was relieved to see Gu Jing look sincere and respectful, and look more stable again. She also pondered whether to wait until the child was born and took advantage of the emperor's good mood to persuade him to at least appoint Gu Jing as a county prince. He had already left the palace to build himself, and after all, he was the emperor's flesh and blood, so he should be given the dignity he deserves to not keep outsiders guessing.
Noble Consort Liu was also observing Empress Dowager Liu's expressions and seeing her smile kindly, she said casually. "Imperial Mother, the child will be born in a few months, so I already have prepared a lot of toys for that child, and since in another two or three months, the sixth prince should be seven years old, I also prepared a set for the sixth prince, so the uncle and nephew can have one each once the child is born, by then the two can play together."
Noble Consort Liu said this casually, but in fact, there was another layer of meaning in her words, implying that Gu Zhen was just a baby, young enough to be the second prince's son, so how could he be the crown prince?!
