Chapter 965: Palace Maids and Concubines 8
"Oh! Now you're scared. Weren't you so stubborn just now?" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Forget it. Since you're begging so pitifully, I'll show mercy and spare you this time. While the death penalty may be spared, the punishment of life and death cannot be avoided."
"From today on, you will kneel before the Buddha every day and recite sutras and chant for the child in my belly," Jiang Chunxi said to Ziqing, "Go and tell them to remove the green plaque that Jing promised. Don't hang it up until I give birth to the child."
Jing agreed and felt so angry!
This bitch Jiang Chunxi wanted to block her way to win the emperor's favor and make the emperor completely forget about her. This might be the ultimate purpose of Jiang Chunxi releasing her from the cold palace, which was to make sure she no longer had any place in the emperor's heart.
No matter how unwilling or resentful Jing agreed, she had to kneel in front of the Buddha for four hours every day. Four hours equals eight hours. Kneeling for eight hours every day is too much for even the strongest knees!
So when Jiang Chunxi gave birth to the child, Jing Da Ying's legs were almost useless and he could not walk properly. His slow pace was almost like that of an old man in his seventies or eighties, and his knees ached with every step he took.
But even so, Jing agreed to survive. On the one hand, it was for her family, and on the other hand, it was naturally because she was still unwilling to give up.
Naturally, Jiang Chunxi gave birth to a son. After Concubine Li and the Queen gave birth to princesses one after another, it is easy to imagine how ecstatic the emperor was that Jiang Chunxi finally gave birth to a prince.
Anyway, ever since he had a son, the emperor would walk with a breeze when he went to court every day, feeling that he could finally stand up straight. After all, men in ancient times felt that they could not stand up straight if they did not have a son, especially if there was a throne to inherit in the family. Because he had no son, the emperor always felt that the royal relatives were eyeing the dragon throne under his butt.
Oh! By the way, Jiang Chunxi was promoted to Imperial Concubine on the day she gave birth, and her child was sent to the Empress Dowager's palace to be raised.
This made the Queen even more resentful, as she felt that Jiang Chunxi's decision to give her son to the Queen Mother to raise was a clear move aimed at the throne.
But in the face of Jiang Chunxi's ambition, the queen was powerless to stop her, because her womb was not cooperating and she couldn't give birth to a son.
"Your Majesty, last night the Empress' palace announced that the imperial physician had diagnosed her with pregnancy, and they sent someone to inform the Emperor early that night," Ziqing reported as soon as Jiang Chunxi had gotten up that morning. "For over a year now, the Empress has practically been taking pregnancy-maintaining pills like meals, and finally, she's gotten her wish and is pregnant again."
"So what if she's pregnant?" Zixuan said as she helped Jiang Chunxi wash up. "The Empress is destined to give birth to a princess. Who knows how devastated she'll be when this one is born? I guess now that she's got four children, the Empress should just accept her fate."
"Haha!" Ziqing laughed. "When a princess is born this time, the Empress will have no choice but to accept her fate. If it weren't for the desire to have a legitimate son, the Emperor wouldn't even be willing to touch the Empress."
"After all, not all women can be like the master, who can still fascinate men with her girlish figure even after giving birth. What's more, the queen has already given birth to several children."
"Men! They're all the same," Jiang Chunxi said after washing her face. "They all like delicate bodies, especially the high and mighty emperors. But since the Empress is pregnant again, it's time for me to have another son."
Jiang Chunxi naturally had no good feelings towards the Queen. After all, the Queen's malice towards her was so obvious, not to mention the Queen's attitude towards the original owner in the original owner's previous life.
Sometimes you don't have to do anything to hurt someone. A mental attack alone can bring a person down. Although Jiang Chunxi didn't want to take revenge on the queen, it wasn't too much to give her a mental attack!
"Your Majesty, the servants in the back hall come to report that Jing Dianwei, that bitch, is unable to get up again," Zixuan helped Jiang Chunxi to sit down at the dressing table. "It rained last night, and Jing Dianwei's knee problem has recurred."
Jing Da Ying's knees would ache so much when it rained that she couldn't get out of bed. So even though Jiang Chunxi had reduced her torture during this period of time, Jing Da Ying's life wasn't much better.
"Poor thing! Jing Da Ying has such a miserable life! Seeing how pitiful she is, I can't help but feel pity for her," Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically. "Forget it, let's get someone to invite a royal physician to take a good look at Jing Da Ying! I was hoping Jing Da Ying could live longer. Life in the harem is so boring. Without Jing Da Ying, I wouldn't even have any fun."
"Yes, I will ask someone to invite a doctor to come and see Jing Chunxi." Ziqing said while combing Jiang Chunxi's hair:
After dressing up, Jiang Chunxi had breakfast before going to pay her respects to the Queen. Not long after Jiang Chunxi left the Liuli Palace, a young eunuch led the imperial physician to the Liuli Palace.
Jing Danying naturally lived in the worst room in the back hall of the Glazed Palace. It didn't look like a concubine's residence at all, but rather like a servant's residence. Or, in other words, the room where Jing Danying lived was not as good as the room where the head maid lived.
When the eunuch came to take Jing Da Ying's pulse, Jing Da Ying was struggling to get out of bed to drink water.
As for the servants who served her.
Haha! Considering Jing's situation in Liuli Palace, it's natural that the servants serving her couldn't be attentive and often made her angry. It was even more impossible for them to serve her diligently.
"Doctor, is it possible to cure this young lady's knee?" Jing agreed. After the doctor took her pulse, she asked with hope in her eyes:
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "There is nothing I can do. I can only prescribe some medicine to ease the pain in your knees."
Jing agreed with a bitter smile: "What on earth am I expecting!"
"My lady, there is no need to despair. As long as you take good care of your knee disease..." The imperial physician was unable to continue. After all, everyone knew about Jing's situation in the palace.
At the same time, in the Queen's Palace.
"The Empress is pregnant. This is truly a great joy. I congratulate the Empress and hope that she will fulfill her wish of giving birth to a legitimate son for the Emperor and a younger brother for the eldest prince." Jiang Chunxi sighed pretentiously as she spoke. "These past few days, the eldest prince has been clamoring for me to give him a younger brother. I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, the Empress would actually be pregnant."
"That's good now. When the Empress gives birth to a prince, the eldest prince will have a younger brother, and he won't have to pester me to give him a younger brother."
Jiang Chunxi's son is already over one year old. The child could speak when he was over eight months old. Therefore, he is very eloquent at just over one year old. It is hard to say how much the empress dowager and the emperor love him.
