After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

However, with the speculation, Jiang Wan felt a lot more relieved. Although people in the palace apparently did not allow people outside the palace to communicate with each other, in fact, there were not many people who secretly communicated with people outside the palace. In fact, The people above all know this, but they just turn a blind eye.

If the Queen wants to use this incident to punish herself, she is afraid that the accusation will not be painful to her, but the Queen herself will end up with a reputation of making a fuss and being inhumane because of this incident.

After all, there are so many maids, eunuchs, and concubines in this palace. They all have families. They cannot leave the palace after entering the palace. The maids can still be released from the palace when they reach the age of twenty-five, but the eunuchs They will not be released from the palace until they are around fifty years old and unable to perform the work in the palace. As for the concubines in the harem, they will not be released from the palace unless they have the emperor's permission to leave the palace, or there are relatives in the family who are officials in the court. During the palace banquet Only when family members come to participate can we meet each other. Otherwise, we may not be able to see our loved ones again in this life.

As for their contact with their families, they relied on entrusters to help send messages. Although the palace was strictly managed, there was still room for kindness, and the management of such matters was not strict.

The Queen Mother arrived soon after. The Queen Mother must have been kept in the dark, so she was a little surprised to see Emperor Jiaqing and Jiang Wan here.

"The Emperor and Concubine Hui are also here."

"If you want to go back to your mother, it was the queen who asked me to come here." Emperor Jiaqing replied.

"Queen, now that everyone is here, can you speak?" Emperor Jiaqing looked at the queen and said.

As he spoke, the Queen Mother and Jiang Wan also looked at the Queen, waiting for her to explain the situation.

Even the Queen Mother and the Emperor have been invited, so what the Queen wants to say must be a big deal.

The Queen Mother rarely leaves Cining Palace on weekdays. If the Queen hadn't asked someone to invite her, she wouldn't have come.

"To inform the emperor and the queen, what I want to say is related to Concubine Hui." The queen said with her eyes to the maid next to her, asking her to bring the things up.

Soon the palace maid brought over two letters and a purse.

"This is the evidence of Concubine Hui's affair with someone else. Your Majesty, please take a look at it." The queen pointed to the purse and letter placed on the tray and said to Emperor Jiaqing and the Queen Mother.

When Jiang Wan heard the queen's words, she immediately knelt on her knees and cried out that she was wronged.

"I have been wronged! Please ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to find out the truth and clear my name!"

Naturally, she also saw the things in the tray, which she had just read yesterday, and even one of the letters was written by her own hand, so she knew exactly what it was.

Jiang Wan was not thinking about how the things fell into the Queen's hands, but how to avoid the difficulties in front of her.

She knew in her heart that the letter was written to her brother, but she was afraid that the queen would forge the letter.

"Concubine Hui, you still dare to quibble and refuse to admit your guilt!" The queen said sharply after hearing this.

Jiang Wan ignored the queen's words and looked at Emperor Jiaqing.

At this time, Emperor Jiaqing's face was not good-looking. He glanced at Jiang Wan, and then said coldly: "Show me the thing."

Soon the things were brought to Emperor Jiaqing.

Emperor Jiaqing picked up the two letters, opened the envelopes, and browsed them.

After reading the letter, he closed it, looked at the queen with an unkind expression, and said: "How did the queen determine that Concubine Hui was having an affair with someone? I read that Concubine Hui called her brother in the letter. It shows that the two The relationship between people may be that of brother and sister, not the relationship that the queen thinks."

"Your Majesty, this is the brilliance of Concubine Hui. The reason why Concubine Hui calls her this way is to prevent her from saying that it is a letter to her brother when the matter is exposed. Now that Concubine Hui is so valued by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, But she never mentioned her family members, which shows that Concubine Hui is not close to her family members, so how could she interact with them?" the queen explained.

"Queen, don't you think you are too arbitrary? Based on two letters and a purse, you concluded that I had an affair with someone. That was my brother. We are biological siblings, not the kind of relationship you mentioned!" When Jiang Wan heard the queen's words, she thought it was ridiculous and at the same time, she was particularly angry. That was her biological brother, and she actually suspected that their brother and sister had that kind of relationship.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Although the Queen Mother heard what the two said, she didn't know whose words were true, so she looked at Emperor Jiaqing and asked.

"This matter is of great importance. The things in the Queen's hands are not enough to prove Concubine Hui's guilt. It is better to wait until the matter is investigated clearly." Emperor Jiaqing said.

In fact, Emperor Jiaqing knew whether Jiang Wan had a brother, and even knew that Jiang Wan's brother had come to the capital to look for her, so he believed Jiang Wan in his heart. But since the Queen Dio said so, she naturally had to tell the truth To find out clearly, it would be better to clear Jiang Wan's name so as not to damage her reputation.

Jiang Wan is the second prince's biological mother. If her reputation is not good, it will also affect the second prince. He did this for Jiang Wan's mother and son.

The queen originally thought that the emperor would be very angry when she heard such things, but she did not expect what she expected.

The reason why she invited the Queen Mother over was because the Queen Mother was present so that the Queen Mother could testify and prevent the Emperor from trying to protect Jiang Wan in the future.

However, the queen calmed down now and felt that she was too impatient. Although she had letters between Jiang Wan and other men, the evidence was not so strong because of the name Jiang Wan addressed to the other man in the letters. Persuasiveness.

The queen determined in her heart that the person communicating with Jiang Wan could not be Jiang Wan's brother, so she did not feel that she had misunderstood. She felt that the emperor's investigation would definitely lead to the same result.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is not suitable to raise the second prince now. Why don't you keep the second prince with me for the time being." The queen said, and then asked the queen mother: "What do you think of this proposal?"

After hearing the Queen's words, Jiang Wan realized what the Queen had in mind. It turned out that she hadn't given up yet and was still thinking of taking Chen'er away.

"It turns out that the empress had this idea. In order to snatch Chen'er away from my concubine, she would even do such a thing!" Jiang Wan looked at the empress coldly and said.

"If you want to raise a child, have one yourself if you can!" The system was equally indignant.

"Oh, I almost forgot, it's not that the queen doesn't want to give birth, it's that she can't give birth even if she wants to." The system sneered.

If Chen'er is taken away by the queen, it will definitely not be easy to bring her back. Even if Jiang Wan's innocence is proven by then, what if the queen doesn't want to send the child back.

"I have my own arrangements for Chen'er's whereabouts, so I won't trouble the Queen." Emperor Jiaqing said, looking at the Queen Mother and saying: "Mother, can Chen'er be kept at your place for a few days? When the matter is investigated clearly, it will be proven that if Concubine Hui is Innocent, I am bringing Chen'er back."

The Queen Mother was able to win the battle and push her son to the throne, so she was certainly not an ordinary person. She could clearly see such things, and felt that the Queen was too eager and stupid, but based on this, she wanted to settle the favor. It’s the concubine’s fault, where did she get her confidence?

In the past, the Queen Mother thought that the Queen's daughter-in-law was quite good and managed the harem in an orderly manner, but now she felt that she had made a mistake.

It would be fine if this was true. The Queen Mother felt that the Queen had done the right thing to prevent the Emperor from being deceived by Concubine Hui. But if this was false, then the person who corresponded with Concubine Hui was indeed Concubine Hui's brother, and the Queen Mother would naturally be angry. .

Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the second prince, and she represents the prince's face. If she is indeed wrong, then she will naturally not object to the queen questioning Concubine Hui's crime, but the evidence must be sufficient, instead of asking for a purse and two letters. Punish the other party for their sins.

But the Queen Mother knew it, so she couldn't blame the Queen. The Emperor rarely entered the harem and had no heirs. His harem was the most harmonious and clean among all the emperors in history, with almost no disputes, so it was not too complicated to raise a Queen.

"Chen'er is the grandson of the Ai family. The Ai family naturally loves him. If Chen'er can be raised in the Ai family, it's too late for the Ai family to be happy. How could they refuse?" the Queen Mother said.

The Queen Mother didn't lie. She naturally loved her only grandson. She kept her grandson with her and could see her every day. It was too late to be happy, so why would she find it troublesome.

"The queen is old, so why bother her? It's better to keep the second prince with my concubine." After hearing this, the queen became anxious and said hurriedly.

If the second prince was raised by the Queen Mother, then everything she had done would be in vain.

However, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Don't worry, Chen'er has a wet nurse and a serving maid by his side. Besides, there is no shortage of people in the Ai family to help take care of the children. It's just taking care of one child. If they can't even do this well, What’s the use of keeping them?”

The Queen Mother told the truth. If the second prince was raised by her, there would be no need for her to do anything personally. The second prince was surrounded by many people who served him. She only needed to tease the child every day and check on the child's condition. Someone would take care of the child.

The second prince, Chen'er, has now been named Li Ping, which means peace. Emperor Jiaqing gave him this name in the hope that he would grow up safely and live a long and healthy life.

The Queen Mother had said so, and the Queen naturally had no excuse to refute, so she could only say: "Since you, the Queen Mother, have said so, then let me raise the second prince with you."

It's just that although she compromised, she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart. Since she married the emperor, she has always respected the queen mother, and she took care of the queen mother herself when she was sick.

She thought that after all she had done, the Queen Mother would stand by her side, but she did not expect that the Queen Mother agreed to the Emperor's proposal.

It was clear that the Queen Mother agreed when she proposed to have the child in her name, but she disagreed now.

Now it seems that no matter how much she does, she can't compare to Jiang Wan who gave birth to the prince in the Queen Mother's eyes.

But no matter how reluctant the Queen was, she couldn't do it. The Queen Mother and Emperor Jiaqing, the two most powerful people, disagreed. No matter how much she wanted to raise the second prince in her own name, there was nothing she could do.

The Queen Mother did not speak for the Queen, so she naturally had her own considerations. Even though the Queen had a hundred courages, she did not dare to treat the Second Prince badly, but she was a little disappointed in seeing the Queen being so stupid today.

Besides, what the emperor told her at the beginning made sense to her. After all, the queen was not the biological mother of the second prince. If the child was given to her to raise, how could the child's biological mother be so devoted?

If the child grows up in the future and knows that the queen is not his biological mother, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

Chen'er was the treasure that she had only hoped for because of the stars and the moon. The Queen Mother could not bear to let her precious grandson suffer even the slightest injustice.
