Chapter 534: Yu Niang

Of course, the Queen Mother would not just agree to the princess's request. She was cautious and wanted to avoid any misunderstanding of the emperor about her, her daughter Princess Lin'an, and her family, but a few words of gossip were not as important as the Holy Will. Before she makes a big decision, of course, she has to look at what the emperor means.

The emperor is not interesting, and the affairs of his son's backyard are naturally up to his son. Unless the son is affected by some trivial things that affect his judgment and affect the situation of the country and the court, he will intervene to take care of it, otherwise, how many women does the son want, which woman does he want to spoil more, and is it necessary for the father to meddle in his affairs?

It's just that the crown princess is both soft and hard, and she has repeatedly said that she knows her mistake and wants to repent, and she also talked about the past when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in good health, and the husband and wife struggled to support each other to get by, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little soft-hearted. He may still have some doubts about the Chu family, but if he rejects the Chu family, it will make his wife fall into the pain of suspicion, so there is nothing to give up as a concubine in the East Palace.

Even if the daughter of the Chu family enters the East Palace, it doesn't mean anything. Since his birth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been a star and a pamper, except for suffering in infancy. Even if people outside the palace despise him because of his physical condition and believe that he cannot really hold real power, no one in the palace will dare to force him to do something he is not willing to do. He didn't want to pamper any woman, so it was useless even if the other party was an immortal. He is not short of women now, and compared with a daughter of the Chu family, he feels that it is more important to appease his wife.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such an attitude, and the Queen Mother also knows what to do. However, she didn't really let go and said that she wanted to let the daughter of the Chu family enter the palace, but when Chen Liangyuan was selected, she was repeatedly inspected, and she paid careful attention to it for a month or two to make sure that her behavior and etiquette were good, and then she was recognized by the queen mother and the emperor. Now although this daughter of the Chu family has entered the eyes of the crown princess, after inquiry, the crown princess has only seen her twice in total, even if she performs well, she may not be reliable, and she has to go through careful observation and testing to determine whether she is qualified to become the woman of the prince of the East Palace. Therefore, the Queen Mother did not issue an order to say anything about the draft, but only said that the Chu family had a daughter, and the Buddha was sincere, and specially announced that she would enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother to copy the scriptures.

The so-called accompanying the Queen Mother to copy the scriptures is just an excuse. In fact, it is to let the daughter of the Chu family live in Cining Palace for a period of time and receive various inspections and learning and training, so that she can become familiar with the etiquette rules of the palace as soon as possible. If there is anything wrong with her, she can also find out as soon as possible, and then be given out of the candidate team for concubines in the East Palace. But if there is nothing wrong with her and her performance is good, then she can successfully obtain the approval of the Queen Mother and the emperor, and become the second show girl to be elected to the East Palace after Chen Liangyuan.

The crown princess gladly accepted the result. Because it's a very normal arrangement. And Mrs. Chu Zhengfang's various praises for Chu Zhengfang's cousin, as well as Chu Yuniang's perfect performance in front of her, also made her have great confidence in Chu Yuniang, thinking that it was impossible for the Queen Mother to find out what was wrong with Chu Yuniang. Chu Yuniang, who entered the East Palace in this way, wanted to elevate the other party in the future and canonize the other party's higher position, which was logical.

The crown princess did not have any objections, in front of Mrs. Chu Zhengfang, she also expressed her happiness, feeling that the queen mother, the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince finally faced up to her needs, understood her feelings, and were willing to give her more protection, and maintain the authority and dignity of her concubine, even if she wanted to give His Royal Highness the crown prince a concubine and ensure that His Royal Highness the prince had a successor, she could not pass her as a concubine. She didn't pick someone from her mother's Tang family, it wasn't because of selfishness, it was entirely because Chu Yuniang was very good that she fell in love with it.

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang didn't know how to react. Of course, the couple was not satisfied with the result. Even if Chu Yuniang only lived in Cining Palace for a month or two, God knows what will happen during this time? In their opinion, Chu Yuniang has nothing to find fault with in terms of appearance and temperament, and she has already memorized the etiquette in the palace, and she will not make any mistakes in her actions, but no matter how safe the candidate is, she can't stop someone from picking on her. What if the Queen Mother is prejudiced against the Chu family and picks a bone in the egg? No one can guarantee that Chu Yuniang will not go wrong.

What's more, Chu Yuniang's background is problematic. Now they have passed Chu Yuniang to another cousin in the family, who has been in the foreign office a few years ago and has only recently returned to Beijing, and has also had a concubine of the same age as Chu Yuniang, but she died in the foreign office when she was a child. This can just hide Chu Yuniang's true identity. In order to be safe, they also sent several of the young children of the cousin elsewhere to prevent anyone from leaking the news. With such careful preparations, it stands to reason that Chu Yuniang's life experience will not be exposed. But in the world, I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid of what happens. What if someone finds out?

A long delay means many hitches. Chu Yuniang determined her status in the backyard of the East Palace one day earlier, and became pregnant with the emperor's grandson one day earlier, so that Chu Zhengfang and his wife could really put their minds at ease.

But the crown princess didn't think there was anything bad about such a result, and it was impossible for Mrs. Chu Zhengfang to force her to make trouble again, which would only make the crown princess suspicious. Mrs. Chu Zhengfang once again determined the unreliability and uncertainty of the crown princess, and the idea of having a backer who really belonged to the Chu family in the backyard of the East Palace became more and more solid. After returning home from the palace, she talked with her husband Chu Zhengfang for a night, and told Chu Yuniang many things, and finally two days later, solemnly dressed Chu Yuniang, prepared the necessary luggage for the latter, and then handed it over to Chu Yuniang's current "parents", and sent the person to Cining Palace.

And Qin Hanzhen, who had been observing and paying attention to the Chu family's sending women to the palace, also got information about the new arrivals in Cining Palace from Zhao Mo.

She looked at the name and age of the daughter of the Chu family on the information, as well as the white portrait that Zhao Mo didn't know where she got it, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Chu Yu Niang seems to be born with a little resemblance to Chen Liangyuan, and her facial features look much more delicate." However, she is a little younger than Chen Liangyuan, and when it comes to the prosperity of the family, the Chu family cannot be compared with the Chen family, so it can only be said that it is okay. If she is not Chu Zhengfang's cousin, and her cousin-in-law is particularly favored by the crown princess, I am afraid she may not be able to choose. ”

Zhao Mo said: "It's too coincidental." How could the Chu family have such a candidate? I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say what was wrong. ”

Qin Hanzhen asked him: "Have you seen this Chu Yu Niang? Is she really as good as the information shows? Not only is she both talented and beautiful, but she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." I don't think the Chu family is like a family that would raise its daughter so carefully, and she just said on the side that her father was just the master of the Taifu Temple from the seventh grade, right? ”

Zhao Mo has already investigated this: "It is from Wuju. However, her father was actually transferred to Taifu Temple last year, and he had been in the foreign office for more than ten years, and he was awarded the official after the martial arts examination. But her parents seem to have suffered enough in their foreign positions, and they don't want to stay any longer, and they are anxious to return to the capital. In order to return to Beijing smoothly, he would rather take a position with a much lower grade, so he will now only be the master of the Taifu Temple of the seventh grade. Of course, with the Chu family as the backing, it should be easy for him to be promoted again after his tenure in the main book has expired. The Chu family has another family member who was also transferred back to the capital last year with him. After returning to Beijing, he was only the fifth grade at first, but now he has been promoted from the fourth grade, and he can also be called a hall in the capital. And if Chu Yuniang can really enter the East Palace smoothly, no matter whether she is favored or not, the royal family will also give her father a grace. "There will be no real power, but the rank can be mentioned. Chen Liangdi back then and Chen Liangyuan now are also treated the same.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but snort: "That's really lucky." If Chu Yuniang is not the daughter of a seventh-grade official, but the one from a fourth-rank official, I am afraid that as soon as she enters the East Palace, she will be able to suppress Chen Liangdi and Chen Liangyuan together, right? Now she can still be on an equal footing with Chen Liangyuan. One more good lady in the East Palace will not affect the overall situation. ”

Zhao Mo thought for a while: "Speaking of which, didn't the court always have remarks some time ago, thinking that since the prince wants to accept a new favorite, he should choose someone from the family daughter or the family of high-ranking officials and eunuchs? I think this kind of gossip seems to be released by some ambitious people, and after a little inquiry, I found that this matter may have something to do with the Chu family...... But what the Chu family finally sent to the palace was just a daughter from the seventh rank official. The people of several houses with relatively high official positions in his family have no suitable daughters, although there are daughters who have not yet been allowed, and their appearance is relatively ordinary, not better than this Chu Yu Niang. Then what did the Chu family want to do when they were well mixed into that rumor at that time?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled in surprise: "No, right? Is it really the rumor released by his family? I heard you say that when the Chu family intended to send a daughter into the palace, I doubted whether those rumors would be released by his family, after all, there are Chu Lao Lang and Chu Zhengfang here, and the Chu family is also a high-ranking official and eunuch's house, but the daughter of the side branch does not count. What are they trying to do with such a momentum? Do they still plan that once the emperor relents and really chooses the daughter of a high-ranking official's eunuch's family, he can still record Chu Yuniang's name in the name of the high-ranking official's cousin, count it as the daughter of a high-ranking official, and send it to the East Palace?"

Zhao Mo couldn't figure it out, and said with a smile: "Chu Zhengfang is not that stupid. Chu Yuniang is such a big person, and she is not a mediocre and inconspicuous figure, even if her reputation is not obvious, and her relatives and friends are there, she can't still recognize which house she is the daughter of?

Qin Hanzhen said casually: "It's hard to say, after all, Chu Yuniang's family has only recently returned from her foreign post, and she doesn't seem to be very involved in the communication between the ladies in Beijing, who can outsiders say clearly? Speaking of which, she is really low-key enough." I have met other girls in the Chu family on various occasions, but this one is the only one, and I have never even heard of the name before. Suddenly there was such a person, and I wondered where she came from. ”

Zhao Mo was stunned: "You ladies are beautiful...... Have you never heard of this person, even in the last two years?"

Qin Hanzhen shook his head: "No." Speaking of which, she is not young, if she is not going to enter the palace, it is really the age when she should have started talking about her relatives a long time ago, why didn't she see her parents looking at each other for her? Could it be that her family had already saved the heart of sending her to the palace?"

Zhao Mo frowned and fell into deep thought. 2k reading web
