"Brother, I think Your Majesty is really getting more and more impatient with us. Xia Bohou said, "Maybe one day Your Majesty will really depose the queen." ”

Marquis Guangping glared at him, "You will forget what Your Majesty said in the court, why we are different from others, because we are the uncle of the country, why we are the uncle of the country, it is all because of the mother." ”

"Of course I don't look forward to the dethronement of Niangniang, I also hope that Niangniang can go all the way to the Queen Mother safely, but it all depends on Your Majesty's wishes. Xia Bohou said, "Your Majesty doesn't like it, and it's not in recent years." ”

"Your Majesty will not be easily deposed. The Marquis of Guangping said, "A complaint to the emperor will make Your Majesty so angry, it is not a good reputation after the abolition, and Your Majesty will not want to bear it." ”

"But there is one thing you reminded me, it is a fact that Niang Niang is not loved by His Majesty, and we can't watch their relationship deteriorate even more, at least, at least until the Seventh Prince is older, so that we can have more than enough. Guangping Hou said.

"It's a pity that my mother died early, and no one can persuade my mother. Xia Bohou said, "How can this please Your Majesty, who can teach Niangniang?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I already have a candidate. Guangping Hou said, "You go and persuade all the subordinates and ministers, all of them are gathered away, the sin is too great, find someone to settle the matter for the dead ghost, we can't produce a Li Qiang." ”

The Marquis of Guangping went to the imperial mausoleum again, the nobleman was a little older, and when he saw him coming, his eyes brightened, and the Marquis of Guangping coughed, "Now there is no one in the capital to discuss the matter of the king of Huaiping." ”

"There are too many things happening in Beijing in one day, and the matter of Huaiping will be forgotten sooner or later. The noble man said, "Master Hou is here, it seems that he has encountered something difficult and needs my help." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't like the queen and has a lot of misunderstandings about the queen, which is really a headache. Guangping Hou said.

"This, if the queen just entered the palace, the Hou Ye came to me and said, maybe it can be reversed, now, I'm afraid it's too late. The nobleman said with a smile.

"Ben Hou also knows, he just wants this situation not to continue, at least the relationship between the emperor and the queen can't be bad anymore. The Marquis of Guangping said, he looked at the noble man, "The king of Huaiping County, if the noble man is useful, he can speak." ”

"As long as the child is safe and well, I have nothing more to ask for. The noble man said, "But it's not a matter of such chaos in the mansion, if there is a capable side concubine in charge of the mansion, I can rest assured." ”

"It's easy to do. Guangping Hou said. "If you are too noble, just wait for the good news. ”

The noble man smiled and nodded, and then said, "What the queen mother has to do now is to show weakness." ”

"Show weakness?" asked the Marquis of Guangping, "I'm afraid it's too late to show weakness now, will Your Majesty believe it?"

"Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, if Niangniang shows weakness and her posture should be low, the more pitiful Niangniang is, the greater the resistance after His Majesty wants to abolish it. The noble man said, "If it weren't for the Queen Mother who suddenly pretended to be sick and died, the first emperor would have been abolished and succeeded." ”

The Marquis of Guangping listened thoughtfully, this also makes sense, the first emperor was not so particular about the reputation of the Ming monarch, and he couldn't get his wish, His Majesty paid attention to reputation, and he couldn't act willfully.

"Niangniang not only wants to show weakness to His Majesty, but also to the noble concubine, to the Queen Mother, and to the concubines who have children in the palace. "Too noble said.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Concubine, that's all. ”

"Why do even concubines who have children show weakness? Guangping Hou said angrily. "Niangniang is a wife, a queen, and her mother's family also has a lord, and there are princes and princesses under her knees. ”

"What's the use of face?" said the nobleman, "Niangniang is too face-saving, so she will drift away from Your Majesty, so that now she is incompatible." ”

The Marquis of Guangping fell into deep thought, and the noble man said, "Your Majesty's favored concubine and wife have been rumored since the palace, and at that time, it was the mother who got the benefit, but in the long run, it was the mother who lost the big because of the small thing." ”

"The concubine has no relatives, although there is no help, there is no drag, no matter whether the Hou Ye admits it or not, the concubine has not been as pampered and arrogant as rumors over the years, arrogant and domineering, after a long time, everyone will look at it, they will doubt the original rumors, they will doubt the mother, is it the rumored virtuous and generous?"

"And I suspect that the separation between His Majesty and Niangniang began with the rumors of the year. ”

"Although Niangniang originally intended to say that the concubine was pampered and arrogant, but it was Your Majesty who spoiled the concubine, in the early years, Your Majesty's reputation was not good, but it was all because of Niangniang. ”

Guangping Hou's face turned pale when he heard this, he didn't expect it at first, but now that he thinks about it, isn't this the truth, if his wife says outside that he spoils his concubine and kills his wife, he will also turn off the fire, and the inner curtain is also a manifestation of a person's incompetence, why is Huaiping laughed at, isn't it because something happened to the inner curtain.

"Showing weakness is not a matter of one or two years. The noble man said, "During this period, the eldest princes should also get married, and after they get married, they will enter the court and participate in state affairs. ”

"During this period, don't confront the concubine again. "Too noble said.

"Concubine?" Marquis Guangping said, over the years, it was not that he despised her, the concubine really didn't look like a scheming person, but His Majesty loved her and always defended her.

"How difficult is it to hold a man's heart all the time, Master Hou wants to underestimate the concubine, I'm afraid I'm going to be on the wrong side. "Too noble said.

After Guangping Hou went back, he thought about it, and also felt that he had recently committed Tai Sui, first Niangniang's inner chamberlain, and then Niangniang's nurse brother, these two things were led by the people around Niangniang, which made people have to be suspicious.

Worried that the lady would not understand when she entered the palace, the Marquis of Guangping went into the palace to tell the queen that the queen was sent back to the Ditai Palace because she stood outside the Tianqing Palace for a day and a night, and finally fainted. Guangping Hou was anxious, "Why is Niangniang so stubborn, since Your Majesty doesn't want to see Niangniang, can't Niangniang go back to the palace first?"

"Your Majesty can't not see her mother for the rest of your life. ”

"My brother doesn't understand the bitterness in my heart. Jiang Suyu said with a pale face, "Both times, Qin Yunyi came out of His Majesty's dormitory and walked past me, she was demonstrating to me. ”

"It's been nearly twenty years, and I've never been humiliated like this. Your Majesty didn't want to see me, but let her walk freely in Tianqing Palace, who is the queen and who is the master of the harem?"

"Niangniang's situation is so critical, and she is still fighting for these little things, and I am also very worried, I am afraid that the Jiang family's situation will not last long. Guangping Hou sighed, the heart knot between Niangniang and the concubine is not ordinary, how to persuade her to show weakness to the concubine, I am afraid that she will be half angry first.

"Your Majesty treats me well, but he really loves Lijia, brother, I said last time, let Lijia marry back to the Jiang family, can you have a chance?" said the queen, "In this way, the Jiang family can also protect the glory of two generations." ”

"Lijia's matter has to wait until the eldest princess gets married. Guangping Hou said, "Of course, it is best for Lijia to marry back, her temperament is strangely said to be withdrawn and strange by outsiders, that is, her uncle and aunt will not dislike her, but she doesn't know His Majesty's mind?"

"Lijia is my daughter, and who she wants to marry is naturally up to me. The queen said.

"Li Qiang's matter, the court has already made a decision, and acting according to the law is that he is too greedy himself, and he almost affected his mother, and it is not a pity to die. Guangping Hou said, "At most, I will be fined for two more years, and this matter will be over, and Niangniang must not fight with His Majesty for this matter." ”

"Niangniang went to ask for guilt, Your Majesty didn't see it, you didn't see it, Your Majesty was lost face, and you had to be on fire for several days, why didn't Niangniang go up to find it uncomfortable. Guangping Hou said. "Anyway, please fold the guilt, and the mother's attitude is also clear. ”

"When the year is over, Niangniang will take care of her illness, and she will be sick once in ten days and half a month, don't go to Your Majesty, and don't go to the concubine's discomfort. ”

"Brother, is this asking me to show weakness?" the queen laughed miserably and said, "I just want to be strong, and now the position of the queen is also shaky, if I show weakness, my brother will not worry, and the Jiang family will be finished if the princess gets married." ”

"No, it won't. Guangping Hou said, "Can I still harm my mother?"

"Niangniang goes to your majesty like this, there is no benefit, it is all bad. If it goes on like this, without the concubine's hands, the mother will finish playing herself. ”
