Chapter 261: The Princess's Choice
γ62 Chinese Networkγ., to provide you with wonderful reading.
After calming down, Concubine Shu slowed down her tone and said, "Our sister is blessed, and we have served Your Majesty for many years, and we have not been able to have a son and a half daughter under our knees. It's okay as usual, in the past two years, maybe I'm older, but I'm more and more envious of other people's children and grandchildren. β
"Because of this, I can better understand your feelings of being separated from Mizhen's mother and son for many years. β
"Although Mi Zhen is really a good child, in terms of talent, appearance, and intelligence, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is unparalleled in the world!"
"But the thought that we will take him to your knees is like ripping a piece of flesh out of your heart...... In the end, it's a little unbearable. β
"After all, everyone else is okay, your words...... Let's be considered a concubine, not to say that we are sisters, but after all, we have some friendship. β
Speaking of this, Zhaoyi said knowingly: "So I discussed it with my sister, I think that the matter of the succession, it is better to slow it down for a while, and when Mizhen returns to Chang'an, your mother and son will have a good talk?" Of course, Mizhen is a child, we like it very much, so this time the demon made by the old woman of the Mo family, we will always solve it together." β
The Shu sisters thought that they had said so, Princess Gaomi should kowtow happily and thank you, right?
However, when Princess Gaomi heard this, she was stunned, but secretly thought: "The meaning of these sisters' words is that they don't want Mizhen to be their heir?
After the princess had discovered the concealment of Aunt Zhao and others from herself, she really interrogated King Gaomi fiercely, so she knew that Rong Mianhe and Huan Guanlan were suspected of having a close relationship, and even a series of actions, including taking the initiative to go to Western Xinjiang, had the shadow of Huan Guanlan.
But after all, she was not trusted by Rong Sleepy Crane and his wife, so the Shu sisters also knew about this, and the youngest son and daughter-in-law did not report to her.
At this time, I naturally felt that the Shu sisters' move was very suspicious, "These sisters are very old, Your Majesty is over half a hundred years old, do you still expect to give birth to your own flesh and blood to rely on in your old age?!"
If you don't have your own flesh and blood, but you don't succeed, is it resigned to fate?
Princess Gaomi didn't think that the Shu sisters looked like people who would accept their fate, so her mind turned, and she wondered: "Could it be that these two sisters are talking the opposite and deliberately testing me?"
Thinking like this, her heart was hot, "Could it be that He'er didn't send anyone to urge them to follow the matter at all, or even the other way around, He'er...... He'er, he doesn't want to succeed at all?"
Judging from the situation that the princess has mastered, it is very likely: you see, Rong Mianhe has a close relationship with Huan Guanlan, and he took the initiative to go to Western Xinjiang to develop before, and his back is full of Huan Guanlan's shadow.
And Huan Guanlan was expelled from the court that year, and disappeared in Sangzi, all of them were written by the Shu sisters.
So Rong Sleeping Crane will definitely not be so affectionate to the Shu sisters on the surface, and the reason why he is close to them is that he is uneasy and has other intentions.
Now that he has defeated Ru Ru and rebelled against Huaihua General Zhao Shi, Rong Sleeping Crane doesn't need to make any big moves in the future, and he will be able to consolidate the forces at hand, and he will be able to become one of the people who come from behind the Great Mu Dynasty!
In his current situation, the degree of reliance on the Shu sisters is not almost none, and it is not big.
So, maybe it's to show loyalty to Huan Guanlan in secret, maybe it's because I don't like the Shu sisters, or maybe it's ...... Princess Gaomi bit her lip stubbornly: Maybe she still has a little attachment to her biological parents?
In short, it is very likely that Rong Sleeping Crane tore up the agreement with the Shu sisters.
The unwilling Shu sisters took advantage of Concubine Mo's matter at this moment to invite their biological mother to come and try to redeem it?
As for saying that since the sisters want to redeem themselves, why do they keep saying that they can't bear to see Princess Gaomi's mother and son separated, Princess Gaomi thinks that these sisters are vicious, maybe they have the idea of taking themselves as hostages and blackmailing Rong Sleeping Crane in private, but on the surface, they pretend to test their true thoughts, so that they can attack Rong Sleeping Crane?
She thought quickly: "Of course I don't want He'er to call other women 'mother'...... But if He'er doesn't succeed, Mo's old immortal doesn't want to live anymore, even if I urge the imperial doctor to hang her life every day, it will be impossible to hang her for three and five years! And He'er has only been in the Western Xinjiang for a few days? Even if the development so far has exceeded everyone's imagination, after all, the time is still shallow, and the foundation is not deep!"
"It's not three years and five years...... Three years and five years are actually too short, and without time for precipitation, where does he have the capital to confront a behemoth like Meng's?"
"If I follow my own wishes and leave He'er behind, won't it hurt him?!"
The princess, who was dedicated to being a sensible and good mother, gritted her teeth, raised her head and said: "The two mothers are so compassionate, what else do I have to say? He'er, oh, it's Mizhen who can have a mother like you to take care of, and it can be regarded as a bittersweet come!"
She reached out and pressed her chest and said sadly, "As for me...... My own mother has always been sorry for him, and forced him to be commensurate with mother and son in front of his knees, and he is not comfortable, how can I have the face? I only hope that he will be filial to the two mothers in the future, and enjoy the joy of family life with you two, and completely forget the debt that my incompetent mother owes him!!"
What she said was sincere, and the Shu sisters were stupid!
After a while, Shu Zhaoyi was dumbfounded and said, "Princess, you ...... Did you misunderstand something?"
Shouldn't this princess think that they are thinking too much about Jirong Sleeping Crane, but they are afraid that her mother-in-law will interfere with it, so they will take retreat as a beating?
"......" It was only before Zhaoyi's words came out of her mouth that she was quietly pinched by the concubine, and hurriedly changed her words, "Actually, the reason why I didn't mention this matter to Your Majesty at this time is mainly because I am afraid of the opposition of the Meng family and King Gaomi." Princess, you know, this is a big matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the fortunes of the country, and it is not something that the three of us women can do if they decide. β
Fortunately, although Princess Gaomi decided to consider Rong Sleeping Crane's future, her mood was agitated, and she didn't notice the flaws, so she only said: "Those people always don't look down on the two mothers, but the two mothers have their own Your Majesty to protect them, how can they be afraid of them?"
"......" The Shu sisters looked at each other again, did this princess not take the medicine or took the wrong medicine, why did she rush to stuff her son to them?
What about the preference for the younger son?!
"This matter can't be done in a moment, let's discuss the old woman of the Mo family!" Shu Zhaoyi pinched her eyebrows, "According to your words, princess, it's not that the old woman wants to live by herself, otherwise it won't be long ago?"
Princess Gaomi sighed and said: "That's why I said that the two are the concubines that Mizhen should have! If he continues to be under my knees, such a grandmother and father, you two will tell me, how will you live this day?!"
He hated again, "Don't say anything else, let's just say that Mizhen's daughter-in-law has just become pregnant, and it is at a critical time! The child is in northern Xinjiang, how far away is Chang'an! If that old woman has three long and two short, even if Mizhen is in love, she will inevitably come to mourn on behalf of her husband! That child was a well-known pampered when she was in her mother's house, and her biological parents loved her like a treasure, where did she suffer hardship? After leaving the cabinet, Mizhen also pampered her with a thousand dependencies! This time, the western Xinjiang is in an emergency, and it is not easy for her to drag her pregnancy for a long time. If there is a bad thing because of returning to Chang'an...... The old woman is not afraid to count her sins at the bottom, and she will not be able to do it for eight lifetimes!!"
The Shu sisters said patiently: "It is natural for the old woman to die 100,000 times, but she can't die right now." Alas, this thing...... In this way, everyone can't come up with a better way at the moment, so why don't we disperse first, and then go back and find someone to figure out how to deal with it?"
After hastily sending Princess Gaomi away, the sisters suspected: "Could it be that Mizhen communicated with her in advance? Otherwise, this person still had the posture of 'who dares to touch my youngest son, I will fight with whom' a few days ago, why is it now that I am afraid that we will not want Mizhen?"
"It's really not good, let Mi Zhen guess it!" Shu Guifei pinched her eyebrows and said upset, "Pretending to be all day long...... I'm tired if he's not tired!"
Zhaoyi hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be like this! We have been pretending to be with him for so long, and before we didn't see through his details earlier, we also got a lot of benefits for him." I can't say where he will be used. Wouldn't it be a loss to tear your face with him at this time?"
"I really regret it. The concubine was just talking angrily, but when she saw that her sister persuaded her, she stepped down stupidly and said, "I knew that there would be today, why did I have to have a child back then!"
"There's no way around it. Zhaoyi smiled bitterly, "The world says that the Son of Heaven has no children under his knees, and it all depends on us." But in fact, apart from the two heirs of Jin Meiren and Xiao Wen, has His Majesty ever had any other children?"
"Jin Meiren is looking for her own death, we just entered the palace at that time, and the limelight is in full swing, she thinks that she is pregnant, she shows her belly three times and twice, let's not take her prestige, there is never a shortage of high-ranking ladies and famous ladies in this huge palace, how can you afford to look down on concubines from such a background as you and me?!"
"As for Xiao Wen's family, the attitude of the Queen Mother, the Meng family, and the King of Gaomi is not to mention, because she is the maiden sister of the Wen family after the abolition and the Wen family behind her, it is impossible for us to adopt her son. That's tantamount to helping the Wen family!"
The concubine said gloomily: "Get an orphan girl who has no father, no mother and six relatives are gone, go to the mother and keep the child, do a little more hidden, and raise the child seriously, even if there is no impermeable wall in the world, when the child grows up, he knows the truth, and there is always a buffer of nurturing feelings for many years, and there may not be no possibility of continuing to be filial to us." It's better than pouring my heart and soul into Mizhen at this time and discovering that I was deceived...... But it's useless to talk about that now. β
Fixed, "Let's talk about the old woman of the Mo family, it seems that the Princess Gaomi who can do it is already doing it, looking at her like that, the next eighty percent is to try to persuade us to hurry up and pass the secret ...... This is unreasonable!"
ββ¦β¦ Why don't you call Chongxin Hou to come over?" Shu Zhaoyi is also helpless, their sisters are actually average in terms of intrigue, after all, Emperor Xuanjing has not taken a fancy to their intelligence and cleverness over the years, and then relying on the emperor's favor to have everything, who still spends so much effort to go to the deep city?
It's serious to be busy with the emperor, isn't it?
At this moment, he racked his brains and found nothing, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhaoyi said, "Let's see if he has a way...... When he suggested that we move here to Shanglin Yuan before, he was calm, and he didn't look like he was worried about Mi Zhen at all? If it's neither, at most let him run errands, and he won't be able to work left and right. β
The concubine felt that it made sense, so the sisters ordered the palace people to pass on Meng Guiyu.
The Meng Guiyu brothers are now serving in the forbidden army, and they are also in Shanglin Yuan, so they came very quickly.
After arriving, he saluted An Bi, and after listening to the Shu sisters' inquiry, he thought for a moment and said: "Actually, the minister does have an idea, but after using it, it is difficult to say what kind of consequences it will cause...... The point is that this scheme is very vicious, and the number of people offended is not ordinary. After saying it, the minister's life may not be his own!"
