Chapter 769 Chapter 769
There was no doctor in the mansion, but Qi Yueniang brought a few maids over and asked about the situation. Seeing that Gao looked pale, she just said that she had lower abdominal discomfort.
Aunt Qiao also put her sister down and came over to help.
The experienced maid asked about important matters, such as when her period came. Gao lowered her head with tears in her eyes, "It came last month, but it was just a little bit and then it was over. I thought it was winter and I was cold, so I didn't care."
After a series of questions, I found out that she was pregnant.
Pei Chen was standing by, feeling anxious and worried, "If you had known you were pregnant earlier, you shouldn't have knelt for so long."
Gao lay on the bed, lowering her head and said embarrassedly, "Today, I was ignorant of the situation and said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing—"
Having said this, he stroked his lower abdomen and choked up.
Now that she has really seen blood, she is afraid that she can't keep it. After Qi Yue Niang comforted her, she kept Pei Chen to accompany her. "It's not a big deal in a short time."
Pei Chen was full of hatred. "Just because I laughed a few times with Qiao'er and Jie'er, she got mad and started copying Buddhist scriptures and kneeling down to worship. Why does she want to be so pious? How about I build a Buddhist temple for her?"
Not much!
Qi Yueniang quickly stopped her, "Husband and wife quarrel, this is something that will happen behind closed doors. If a man can stand firm, there will be no chaos in the backyard. You keep doing this day in and day out. Let's not talk about the hard work Ah Xiu has put in raising two brothers. Just think of it as the love between husband and wife over the years, and don't say harsh words."
After that, she did not let him leave Gao's courtyard. She came out with her maid and told Pei An and others in the main house the general situation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yinxiu grabbed Qi Yueniang and said, "Sister-in-law, is that little bitch really pregnant?"
"Second sister-in-law!"
Pei An could no longer bear to hear Xiao Yinxiu's foul language, and immediately rebuked her, "She is also the good concubine brought in by Second Brother, be careful with your words."
Xiao Yinxiu whispered, "She usually uses some coquettish tactics..."
Then he looked up at Pei An and said, "Old Four, you are the only one in the room, so you don't know!"
Xiao Bei waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this, "Eldest sister, we are all from the same house, please be more lenient for the sake of the prince's brother-in-law."
Xiao Yinxiu snorted coldly, "I am the mistress of this house, can I not control a few concubines?"
"Of course you care! If you like to care, why did you call us here so late at night? Fourth brother has to go to the academy tomorrow, and Fourth sister-in-law is pregnant and worried about you. As for Fourth cousin, he has to go to work before dawn. We all have a lot of things to do. You are really amazing. You have learned to torture a concubine."
Xiao Cang's words were unpleasant. Pei An didn't say much when he saw this. He just whispered a few words to Qi Yueniang, which basically told her to go back and rest first.
Back at Shaohua Garden, the main room was brightly lit with candles. When Pei An entered the room, Ren Dong stood up to greet him. On the kang bed, Song Guanzhou, who was wrapped in a soft blanket, looked up and asked, "Are you ready?"
Pei An took off his coat and sent Rendong away.
He walked forward and hugged Song Guanzhou with one hand, "Why aren't you sleeping? Instead, you look very energetic. Didn't you say you have a lot of things to do tomorrow?"
Song Guanzhou's eyes were as bright as torches and he was full of energy. How could he sleep? He grabbed Pei An and asked him what was going on?
Pei An tapped her nose. "There was a dispute between the wives and concubines. The second sister-in-law punished the concubines to kneel down and copy Buddhist scriptures. The second brother was so angry that he grabbed the second sister-in-law and the two of them fought. Both were injured. Gao also heard that she had seen blood--"
Tsk tsk tsk!
Song Guanzhou's eyes widened as he listened, and he was shocked again and again, "After all, Aunt Gao is a daughter of a scholar, she can read and understand some principles. If the second sister-in-law really relies on her status to fight with her, she will definitely not be a match for Aunt Gao."
Pei An let Song Guanzhou rest his head on his arm, with his eyes closed, listening to Song Guanzhou talk.
"My second sister-in-law reminds me of my mother. She has treated my father's concubines the same way since I was a child. Among them, Aunt Qin... It's okay if she's not around. If she is, she will either be punished to kneel today or copy scriptures tomorrow."
Due to his status, Pei Jian cannot and should not interfere too much in the affairs of the inner chamber.
When things are really excessive, he would say a few words to the wife. The fighting among the women in the harem is just an ordinary trivial matter in the eyes of men.
How can it compare to the flashing swords and shadows in the court...
It was not until Aunt Qin died of poisoning that Pei Jian realized that the fights among the women in the back house also concerned one's future and life.
This was the first time Song Guanzhou heard Pei An say these words. Thinking of the secret he had heard from the old lady of the Qin family, he immediately became curious. He leaned close to Pei An's ear and whispered, "Your mother has always been a strong-willed person since she was a child. Now she is forced to cultivate herself in a small Buddhist temple. As sons, don't you and your second brother think this is a little cruel?"
How could Pei An not hear her temptation and sighed softly.
"This is the best. If the Empress Dowager is no longer around, it all depends on your Majesty's wishes."
Upon hearing this, Song Guanzhou hadn't figured out the reason yet. Suddenly, his head buzzed. He sat up suddenly and looked at Pei An with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty... Could it be that Madam Xiao's matter is related to my mother?"
This is already a palace secret.
Pei An slowly opened his eyes, and in the darkness, he pulled Song Guanzhou, who had sat up, down and embraced him again, "I don't know the details, but Madam Xiao is a taboo in the mansion and in the palace."
Song Guanzhou perked up, leaned close to Pei An's ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty..., does he love Empress Xiao very much?"
After hearing this, Pei An hesitated for a moment.
The room was filled with silence, and one could almost hear Pei An's heartbeat. After a while, Pei An finally sighed, "The iron heart of the emperor may be just a little soft."
Song Guanzhou sighed and asked, "I'm afraid the emperor is thinking of giving Madam Xiao a title."
puff!
Pei An heard this and suddenly turned his head, unable to help laughing, "Hun said, these things have never been made public, so there is no room for suspicion."
How could the late emperor's favorite concubine be canonized again?
Song Guanzhou yawned, "How difficult is this? If you really have the heart, it will be easy in front of the emperor."
Isn't this how the Empress Wu Zetian in our history came about?
It's just a pity.
Pei An shook his head. "Whether it was regrettable or not, only my father and His Majesty understood. I was born late, so I saw that my mother and Aunt Qin were not getting along. Even though my father took Aunt Qin, me, and my third brother to the border, I still couldn't escape these tricks in the harem."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
Song Guanzhou laughed softly when he heard this, playing with Pei An's big hand, "If you bring a girl to Shaohua Garden in the future and ask us to make a fuss for you, I'm afraid we can't do that."
Pei An turned his head and kissed her forehead.
"There won't be such a day. I've seen enough of father and second brother in their rooms. Besides, with your personality, if I really have second thoughts, can I still see you?"
Song Guanzhou raised his head and kissed him on the lips.
"Shiro, the simplest and purest relationship is the most cost-effective."
