Chapter 245: Wife and Concubine

The crown princess Tang returned to her dormitory, and she didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

Seeing this, Mama Cen, a confidant she brought from her mother's house, stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with Niangniang?" But what did the west say that didn't please make Niangniang angry?"

Mama Cen refers to the Liangdi Chen family who lives in the West Side Hall. Chen Liangdi and the crown princess Tang were friends in the boudoir, and after entering the palace, there were also a few years of watching and helping each other, and the wives and concubines were in harmony, but as time went by, some friendships would inevitably change. Now the crown princess Tang and Chen Liangdi are still good sisters in front of people, close to each other and caring for each other, but in private, they have long been separated from their hearts. In fact, since the death of the emperor's grandson, Chen Liangdi has been seriously ill, and she has been silent a lot, but in recent years, she seems to be active again, and recently she has said something from time to time that makes the crown princess Tang angry. Therefore, when Mama Cen saw that the crown princess was in a bad mood, she guessed that she was playing ghosts.

However, the crown princess Tang still returned Chen Liangdi's innocence very fairly: "It has nothing to do with her, I'm worried about other things." She told Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, to enter the palace and ask the prince to tell the emperor about his marriage to Qin Hanzhen, the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Yongjia, and then sighed, "The third girl of Qin will only be married next year, and her father is far away as an official in Guangzhou, so it stands to reason that the king of Suning County should not be so anxious, he is only seventeen years old." Presumably some time ago, I was planning to match him with the eldest daughter of Yunyang Hou, but he was not happy, so he wanted to settle the family affairs as soon as possible. I wanted to persuade him again, but I was afraid that if I pushed him hard, he would be upset. ”

Mama Cen knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. In fact, the prince of Suning County and the eldest lady of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion discussed this family affair with her at the beginning.

She hurriedly said: "The king of Suning County and the third girl of Qin must be childhood sweethearts, and they have a deep friendship, so they will identify her." He is still young, how can he understand the importance of it? He was confused for a while, and he didn't understand the hard work of his mother. Niangniang doesn't need to worry, just ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to explain to the king of Suning County. ”

The crown princess shook her head: "Your Royal Highness is in favor of the relationship between the king of Suning County and the third girl of Qin. How do you want me to speak? Isn't it possible to tell His Highness that his uncle's granddaughter is not as good as the daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang?"

Mama Cen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Of course, this cannot be said. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always respected Yongjiahou very much. The latter is not like Cheng Enhou, but the little brother of the late Empress Qin who has always cared about Nian, and because of various misunderstandings, he stayed in the frontier for 30 years, suffered a lot, and wasted his youth. Both the emperor and the crown prince were eager to compensate him. But Yongjiahou is a very sensible and sensible, good person who knows the proportions, he abides by the duties of his relatives, never crosses the line, obviously in the northwest is quite a famous Confucian, after going to Beijing, he has never officially accepted students, and even the original students have reduced their contacts, for many years only indulged in poetry, calligraphy and painting, traveling in the mountains and rivers, and never asked for officials for their children and grandchildren. If the relatives of this dynasty were as trouble-free as him, the emperor would be much easier. Therefore, the emperor and the crown prince respected him even more.

It is said that the third girl of Qin has been learning calligraphy and painting with Yongjiahou, and she is very favored by Yongjiahou. said that she is not good, and she is not worthy of the king of Suning County, this is clearly looking for a fight in front of His Royal Highness the Prince!

The crown princess sighed again: "Actually, there is nothing bad about Miss Qinsan. She didn't enter the palace much, but every time she went quietly, she was well-mannered, she was pleasing to Sven, and she was a good painter! The paintings she painted were stronger than the calligraphy and paintings of many people in the boudoir, and she was more well-informed, and she was a very good girl. People outside say how vulgar Mrs. Yongjiahou is, but in fact, they haven't seen her much at all, she is just a more straightforward temperament, and she is not used to talking to people in a twisted and circumferential manner, just like the wives and wives of those military generals, and even more gentle than the wives of several generals. The girl she raised, and Yongjiahou himself taught poetry and books, where is the difference? If Miss Qin San is just a princess of Suning County, there will be no problem at all. I really like to have such a straightforward and good-natured nephew and daughter-in-law, saving sesame mung beans and small things, and I have to fight with others. ”

Mama Cen immediately understood the meaning of the crown princess's words: "But...... The king of Suning County will not be just a county king in the future! How can the temperament of the third girl of Qin be worthy of being the mother of a country?"

The crown princess frowned slightly: "Isn't it? To be the master of these six palaces, it is not enough to only know poetry and etiquette." Cai's is a natural queen, and her age is the same as Guanglu's, but Guanglu is determined to marry Qin San's girl, and he doesn't even look at Cai......"

Mama Cen smiled: "Maybe it's because the king of Suning County hasn't seen Miss Cai much, if he sees such a beauty......"

The crown princess shook her head and interrupted her words: "It's not that he hasn't seen it, and after seeing it, he is still indifferent, what can I do? I asked the Cai family to test him before, but he didn't answer at all, and the Cai family also understood in their hearts, and they didn't plan to force it, and they were already showing the Cai family another person." Can I still force the Cai family to marry a daughter? In this matter, Guanglu is not happy, and the Cai family is not happy, so I can only do it. It's just that when I think that Guanglu will succeed the East Palace in the future, because the queen grandson has little help in the court, and it is difficult to move, I feel uncomfortable...... Anyway, if my father is still there on that day, I will have to ask him to support Guanglu as an old man. ”

Mama Cen looked at the crown princess lovingly: "Niangniang is very hard, but it's a pity that the king of Suning County can't understand ......"

The crown princess smiled bitterly: "How can he understand it? He has told His Highness more than once that he doesn't want to enter the palace." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is noncommittal, but I know in my heart that if I really want to succeed, His Highness will only succeed him. So it's just a matter of time. She sighed, "If only the succession had been settled as soon as possible, I would have been able to manage the marriage for him justifiably, and I would not be as helpless as I am now." But the emperor refuses to agree, and he still hopes that our Highness can have his own heir!"

Mama Cen whispered: "The slave and maid are taboo to say, Your Highness has taken care of her body, and she may not have the opportunity to have more children, but it is not easy for the mother to have children." The son who came out of someone else's belly, no matter how well he was raised, there was also a biological mother in front of him, and it was impossible to be of the same heart as his mother, and his mother would inevitably be constrained in the future. Even if Niangniang doesn't think about herself, she must think about the county lord! Although the king of Suning County is not Niangniang's biological son, his biological mother died early and he is estranged from his biological father, and his character is also trustworthy. Instead of asking the sons of other concubines to press on the heads of Niangniang and the county lord in the future, it is better to support the king of Suning County!"

The crown princess lowered her eyes: "Don't say such things again in the palace." As long as it is the son of His Highness, whoever gives birth to it must call me mother, and it is no different. It's just that His Royal Highness wants to succeed the king of Suning County, so I just follow his wishes. He is older and has passed away early, and he can share His Highness's worries as soon as possible. I don't have any selfish intentions, don't talk nonsense in front of people, but let people misunderstand my true meaning. ”

Mama Cen hurriedly lowered her head: "The slave said the wrong thing, please forgive the mother." ”

The crown princess waved her hand and sighed: "That's it, it's too late to say anything now, just follow Guanglu's intentions, let him marry the granddaughter of Yongjiahou." Anyway, it came out of the uncle's mansion, and the holy family is prosperous, and the emperor will take care of it a little more for the sake of the queen's mother. Later, when he enters the step-palace, if the court does not accept his background, it is a big deal to find him two side concubines with good backgrounds. His health is much better than that of His Royal Highness, and the number of concubines in the backyard does not need to be too tight. ”

Mrs. Cen asked in a low voice: "Do you want to choose someone from the family?" Even if there is only one, if you can get a little favor from the king of Suning, the mother and the county lord will be more confident in the future......

The crown princess was silent. This is a bit taboo, and it also seems that she is selfish. This is different from her matching Zhao Mo and Cai Yuanzhen. She wasn't sure if she should try it.

At this time, the palace people suddenly came to report: "Chen Liangdi asks to see the crown princess." ”

The crown princess came back to her senses and learned that it was Chen Liangdi who came, so she couldn't help sighing: "Let her come in." He also instructed Mama Cen, "I'll report that Yi'er (Zhao Yi, the county lord of Minshun) is looking for me, so that Chen Liangdi won't have to talk endlessly." Mama Cen nodded knowingly and withdrew.

Chen Liangdi's complexion is not bad, she has been actively taking supplements for more than two years, and she looks a lot fatter than before, but fortunately she has not become a big fat person out of control, but she just looks plump. She came to hint to the crown princess that the prince had only been to her palace twice this year, and the number of times was too few. When the prince is busy with official business, she certainly won't pester him ignorantly. But I heard that the crown prince has been relatively idle recently, so can he stay in the East Palace for a while longer?

The crown princess pursed her lips. She and Chen Liangdi were best friends when they were not married, but the latter was two years younger than her, and this year is 323. Although this age is not young, but it can still give birth, and it is common to hear the news that official daughters of similar age have children. Chen Liangdi's body also looks very good, and she herself has great expectations for another imperial grandson.

It's just that in front of the crown princess, who is already thirty-five years old and has been injured in childbirth, it is very likely that she will no longer be able to have children, how can the princess be in a good mood when discussing this topic of having children?

She just lightly asked Chen Liangdi to be patient and recuperate more, and when the prince is free and sexual, she will naturally visit Chen Liangdi. In addition to their wife and concubine, there is no third prince's woman in the East Palace, she is already a handful of age, there is nothing to fight for, and Chen Liangdi is not the only one who can wait for the prince at that time?

Of course, the Crown Princess's words are much more tactful, but that's what it means. Chen Liangdi has known her for 20 years, what can't she hear? Chen Liangdi barely held on to the courtesy, quit, and walked back to the West Side Hall quickly, threw herself on the bed and cried.

Seeing this, her maid Cuizhi hurriedly asked people to close the doors and windows, for fear that her crying would spread outside, so that the princess would know, and she reassured Chen Liangdi and asked her not to be sad.

Chen Liangdi's crying stopped suddenly, she got up from the bed, gritted her teeth and asked, "When you sent something home on my order, what did your mother say? She wants her niece to come into the East Palace to be my companion?"
