Zhuang Huanting reacted to what King Rui pointed out and defended: "Chunyang is the prince's own sister, and this time I have been wronged by marrying Dajiguo, I just want to earn as much dignity as possible for her, and the dignity of the princess is also the dignity of the prince!"

King Rui said angrily: "Still quibbling! Do you dare to say that you don't know that I have a heart for Nahe's girl, so I deliberately designed to frame her?"

King Rui grew up in the palace, and since he was a child, he was accustomed to seeing her mother and concubine compete with others for favor, how could he not know the twists and turns in a woman's heart? He is different from other men, and has never believed that a man's backyard will really be peaceful.

Because he understands and is tired of the calculations between these women, although he doesn't like Zhuang Huanting, he is willing to give her a little more decency, and never favors any concubine in the backyard.

Zhuang Huanting was a little weak-hearted, she didn't actually mind Rui Wang Na He Linwan as a side concubine, but her aunt whispered in her ear from time to time, saying that He Linwan had provoked the family before he entered the mansion, and he must be uneasy.

Zhuang Huanting listened a lot, and she inevitably had a mustard in her heart, and now the backyard of the Rui Wangfu and the palace are respected by her, she tasted the sweetness of being the master of the house, so she pondered in her heart, and when she was pregnant with a child, she opened her face to the two maids that her aunt specially picked for her, if the prince felt that the status of the maid was low, she could also go to him and ask him for a family girl whose family background was not as good as her to come back as a side concubine, as compensation, this He Linwan should not enter the mansion.

At first, when Chunyang discussed with her to take He Linwan to Daji Kingdom, she was still a little hesitant, but when she heard Chunyang tell her about the prince's deep-rooted love for He Linwan over the years, she felt very sour, and finally agreed.

She knew that the prince might be angry when he learned about this, but she felt that she was the princess's concubine, and the prince respected and trusted her very much on weekdays.

She was willing to take that risk for the sake of their future.

It's just that Zhuang Huanting didn't expect that King Rui, who has always been gentle towards her since she got married, would be angry with her in front of a room of people, and even made a move.

Zhuang Huanting was ashamed and angry in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't quarrel with King Rui at this time, otherwise she would be even more embarrassed.

Zhuang Wanting wanted to get the methods that her aunt taught her, so she couldn't help but raise a pair of teary eyes to look at King Rui, and said sadly: "The prince actually thinks of me so much in his heart?

But when King Rui saw Zhuang Huanting's bland and boring face, he pretended to be pretentious, and he only felt unappetizing.

He used to think that although Princess Rui was not as good as she could have been, she was at least dignified and polite, but he didn't expect that now she didn't even have this advantage.

King Rui didn't even bother to say anything to Zhuang Huanting at this time, and only left a sentence coldly, "I don't need you to enter the palace recently, stay in the mansion and cultivate your temperament." ”

After speaking, King Rui brushed his sleeves and left.

Zhuang Huanting couldn't help but be stunned when she saw him leave like this, and she didn't react for a while.

The maids hurriedly came over to check the injury on Zhuang Huanting's hand, and when King Rui was there just now, they were too frightened to get close.

"Ah, the princess's hand is swollen!"

"Quick, get the medicine!"

"Soak in cold water first!"

The maids were in a hurry, but Zhuang Huanting looked at the direction that King Rui left in a daze and did not move, as if she didn't feel a pain in her hands.

Two days later, the palace issued a decree that four women would be selected as concubines among the nobles of the clan to accompany Princess Chunyang to marry.

As soon as this decree was issued, most people breathed a sigh of relief, since it was to select the women of the clan and the noble family, it did not include ordinary families and courtiers.

The clan is the Li family of the same clan as the Li family, and Guixun is the prince and uncle and other mansions with titles and meritorious deeds, but He Linwan is among the nobles, and the He family has a title.

When He Lin went to greet his grandmother Wei in the evening, he saw that her grandmother, who had always been calm and calm, also had a little sadness on her face.

"Grandmother. He Linwan bowed first.

Wei smiled, pointed to the stool in front of him, and said gently, "Come and sit." ”

He Linwan sat down as he said.

Wei Shi pondered for a moment before saying to He Linwan: "This will is not issued by the Middle Palace. ”

He Linwan looked puzzled at the right time, waiting for Wei to continue.

Wei waved her hand to Mama Wang, and Mama Wang immediately withdrew with the maids and mothers-in-law who were waiting in the house.

Wei Shi continued: "The queen mother argues with reason in front of His Majesty, opposing the old custom of concubines and concubines, saying that it is not the time of hundreds of years ago, and the ancient rites are no longer applicable to the present. It's a pity that His Majesty has made up his mind and refuses to listen to the queen's words, and the emperor and queen finally broke up unhappily. ”

He Linwan was silent and did not speak.

Wei Shi said: "Afterwards, His Majesty ordered the queen mother to make a decree and let her choose a suitable candidate, but the queen mother ignored it when she said she was sick. His Majesty was furious and wanted to abolish it, but fortunately he was persuaded by the ministers. Later, the decree was issued by His Majesty's chamberlain in the voice of the Empress, and it was not stamped with a posterior seal. ”

He Linwan frowned and couldn't help but sigh, "Queen Mother...... It's not easy, either. ”

Wei glanced at He Linwan and sighed helplessly, "You, aren't you worried about yourself?" Although the candidate has not yet been decided, Princess Chunyang's side is afraid that she will not give up easily. ”

He Linwan smiled at Wei, "Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven." Grandmother doesn't have to worry too much about me, even if I do let me go to Daji Country in the end, I can live well. ”

Of course, listening to the specific details of the personnel before the Mandate of Heaven, He Linwan did not tell Wei.

Wei Shi looked at the eldest granddaughter in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, "I like your temperament the most, and it's a big thing." ”

It's a pity.

Wei also did not tell He Linwan, according to the news that the Wei family found out from the palace, although the candidate for the concubine was not finalized, Princess Chunyang had already begged He Linwan in front of the emperor, and the emperor did not immediately refuse at that time.

Because the queen interceded for He Linwan, the emperor is now angry with the queen, and Princess Chunyang is pleading on the side, I am afraid that His Majesty will agree in the end.

Wei was about to say something to He Linwan, but Mama Wang, who was guarding outside, said through the curtain: "Madam, the slave has something to do." ”

Mama Wang's voice sounded a little anxious.

"Come in and talk back. Wei frowned.

Mama Wang lifted the curtain, walked in quickly, and said hurriedly: "Madam, just now the outer courtyard came to report, and the palace made a decree to summon the uncle into the palace to face the saint." ”
