Chapter 226: The Questioning of the Prince's Wife
Remember [62 Chinese Network] in one second, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Zhao Taojiao has been very low-key since he came out of the cabinet because of the embarrassing position of the Guangling Mansion among the nobles of Chang'an.
So much so that while many people despise the Guangling Palace, they also ignore her in the past.
In fact, she, like Zhao Taocheng, is the biological daughter of Huaihua General Zhao Shi.
Even as the eldest daughter, she spent more time with Zhao Shi.
It's just that everyone knows that the Zhao family has always supported King Gaomi, and they don't think somuch about Zhao Taojiao marrying the prince of Guangling.
At this time, Concubine Meng relayed Meng Guiyu's words, and asked Rong Qing'an to covet the big position, Zhao Taojiao naturally immediately thought that this brother and sister were trying to win over their mother's father!
She couldn't help but hesitately said: "The virtuous brothers and sisters are all bitter, but it's a pity not to mention marrying a woman outside the door, splashing the water outside the door, since I am the son of the Guangling Palace, then the ups and downs of my mother's family have little to do with me;
As he spoke, he got up, "Brother and Sister Xian have made a mistake! For the sake of the concubine who is still in confinement, I won't tell anyone about this! But in the future, there is no need to summon me for this kind of thing!"
"The Princess!" Seeing this, Concubine Meng raised her voice slightly, and shouted, "Ling Zun's loyalty to King Gaomi is known to the world! How dare our brothers and sisters think of letting you persuade General Huaihua?!"
Zhao Taojiao had already taken two steps and paused, and turned back with some surprise: "Oh? Then what did the virtuous brothers and sisters do to pry the prince to fight for that position? To put it mildly, the side concubine is also a person from the palace now, and she should know the situation in the palace: even if the king of Mizhen County fails to compete for the crown prince, there is a prince of Gaomi and the son of the prince of Gaomi and the heir of the prince, how can it not be the turn of the Guangling Palace, right?!"
"Have you forgotten how the prince of Mizhen County rose so quickly?" said Concubine Meng, "Although this county king is indeed outstanding, in the final analysis, it is also in the eyes of the noble concubine!"
"If there is no noble concubine Niangniang to persuade Zhaoyi Niangniang, she will talk to him in front of His Majesty and give him all kinds of conveniences...... How could he be where he is today?"
"With His Majesty's favor for those two mothers, and the heir candidates that the two mothers fancie, can Your Majesty not be cultivated by the prince with all his might?!"
Zhao Taojiao said with a smile: "Concubine Fang, you have said it, those two have already taken a fancy to the king of Mizhen County." There has always been only one East Palace and the Great Throne! Do you think that the prince can compete with Mi Zhen? It's not that I look down on my husband, but Mi Zhen is definitely the most outstanding in the Rong clan's same age! How confused do those two have to be before they give up such an excellent candidate for heir and choose the son?"
"Or is Brother Ling's position in front of those two to the point where he can persuade them to give up their secret chastity?"
The last sentence reveals a little ridicule.
Concubine Meng bit her lip before she said, "My brother is in front of those two mothers, of course, he doesn't have such a status. ”
She lowered her eyes, "Actually...... It was my brother who noticed the thoughts of those two mothers and planned to take advantage of the fact before the matter was revealed, so I asked me to pass on the message to you!"
Zhao Taojiao's face changed slightly: "Could it be that Mi Zhen died in the Western Frontier? It is impossible, right?!" Recently, I haven't heard that there are eight hundred miles to rush into the city!" "We are not very clear about the current specific situation of the King of Mizhen County, but there is really no bad news...... " Concubine Meng was halfway through her explanation, but she was interrupted by Zhao Taojiao: "Since Mi Zhen is still alive, how can the two of them change the heir candidates?!"
Concubine Meng sighed: "It's because of the princess of Mizhen County!"
"County Lord Kangzhao?" Zhao Taojiao said curiously, "Didn't she go to the Western Xinjiang with Mizhen?" Although I heard that this lord is very squeamish, so she has never been very fond of the elders, so she is a treasure from her mother's side...... But how can they offend those two in the palace who have traveled thousands of miles?"
"Didn't this person write a letter a few days ago, saying that she was pregnant?" Concubine Meng pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile without a smile, and said lightly, "According to the rules of ordinary people, at this time, if you want to sleep in a separate room with your husband, you should naturally prepare for the selection of your aunt?"
"Although the king of Mizhen County can have two side concubines according to the rules, the two ladies in the palace consider that the princess of Mizhen County has a reputation for being jealous, and they don't plan to be too aggressive, thinking that it would be good to let the girl of the Shu family be an aunt!"
Zhao Taojiao frowned: "What's the matter? The master didn't agree, so the two in the palace wanted to change people?"
Concubine Meng hesitated and said: "If the princess of Mizhen County doesn't agree, the two people in the palace will resent the princess of the county at most, but they won't say that they have the idea of changing the princess of the county." ”
"It's just...... As you probably know, the county princess is very fond of the princess, and he is always obedient. ”
Perhaps because of this, when he coaxed the princess of the county, he said something that was unacceptable to the two ladies in the palace. ”
"After the two ladies learned about it, they were very sad, worried that in the future, when His Majesty was gone, they would cross the river and tear down the bridge!"
"After all, even if the county princess was trying to appease the county princess at that time, he talked about it casually and didn't take it to heart, but he was so obedient to the county princess, what if the county princess remembered?"
"Dig up the old accounts in the future...... The two in the palace...... You said yes, right?"
Zhao Taojiao has not met Sheng Weiqiao in person, and her understanding of the former county lord and current princess of the county is all from her mother's family.
And the Zhao family has a deep understanding of Sheng Weiqiao's favor and pampering, especially when the old lady Sheng personally went to the Zhao Mansion in order to break up Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Sleeping Crane, although the Zhao Mansion apologized for the big thing and turned it into a small matter, but even the old lady Qin, who has always shown her generous image, has no complaints about Sheng Weiqiao in private...... The old lady manages her granddaughters tightly, and she doesn't love them.
So at this time, I was a little skeptical about Concubine Meng's words.
But thinking of the Meng siblings' proposal, he still felt strange: "Okay, even if the two in the palace move the idea of changing heirs...... Mi Zhen has no chance, Uncle Gaomi and those two peers, aren't there still the sons and grandchildren of King Gaomi?"
When she didn't know that Rong Qing'an's biological mother, Princess Chai, died so vaguely and unclearly, and she had an inextricable relationship with the two in the palace?
Since he would be worried about Sheng Weiqiao settling accounts in the future, how could he not be afraid that Rong Qing'an would avenge his mother after the autumn?!
Zhao Taojiao thinks that the Meng brothers and sisters must have a conspiracy.
When Princess Chai passed away suddenly, she panicked and immediately sent a letter to her parents.
The Zhao Mansion was also very surprised when she heard the news, because Princess Chai was an orphan girl left by the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang, raised by the Zhao Mansion, and it was also the Zhao Mansion that matched the King of Guangling to be the concubine, and the Zhao Mansion was not only Zhao Taojiao's maiden family, but also the maiden family of Princess Chai.
Later, Mrs. Qin and the Ji family personally went to the house to mourn, and took advantage of the situation to sort out the ins and outs of the matter with Zhao Taojiao, and she was suspicious of Ershu at that time.
It's just that Old Madam Qin has always refused to allow Zhao Taojiao to tell the truth to the prince Rong Qing'an.
Rong Qing'an, as the eldest son of Princess Chai and King Guangling, has a very deep relationship with his mother, when Princess Chai passed away, he once cried and fainted, and his grief was full of true feelings.
And Princess Chai is gone, but Zhao Taojiao's mother and son still have to live.
Although Mrs. Qin is also full of pity for Princess Chai, who was raised single-handedly, and has the idea of avenging this righteous daughter, she can't ignore the life or death of her granddaughter, right?
At that time, Zhao Taojiao looked at Rong Qing'an's grief and was a little unbearable, and later saw that he was going crazy and consuming it with Concubine Meng, so she didn't dare to say anything at all...... This is just tossing Concubine Meng, and it has also attracted the counterattack and suppression of the Meng Guiyu brothers; if you know the truth, who knows if you will rush to the palace to die?
At that time, how will she and her children live!
However, although Rong Qing'an is not clear about this matter until now, the Shu sisters in the palace must know it.
So even if they don't tolerate sleeping cranes, it is impossible to consider the heirs of the Guangling Palace: the heirs of the Guangling Palace, except for the pair of dragon and phoenix twins born to Concubine Meng, are all the blood of Princess Chai.
"The Yue family of Gaomi Shizi is the Qi family, the Qi family is powerful, and they are very hostile to the king of Mizhen County, and they are obviously ambitious, so they may be the next Meng family. Concubine Meng said, "The most important thing is that the prince of Gaomi himself is indecisive, which makes the two mothers unable to trust. ”
Zhao Taojiao said: "Then there is also the heir of the son of Gaomi, the three sons under his knees are not very old, even if they are also the nephews of the Qi family, they will start raising at this time, and they will soon be estranged from their biological parents, and they are close to their adoptive mothers, aren't they?"
"The most important thing is that the East Palace is from the Gaomi Palace, and it is easy to get the support of the Gaomi Prince, which is good news for the two in the palace, right? After all, the powerful position of the Shu family cannot be compared with the Meng family. ”
She looked at Concubine Meng's expression, "And your brother and sister suggested that my husband consider practicing Zuo...... Could it be that the prince of the world has any special advantages in the eyes of the two Shu Niangniang? I have no clue about this, but I don't know if the concubine can teach me?"
Concubine Meng said: "The main thing is that after the princess left, the prince was very sad and moving. ”
Seeing Zhao Tao's sarcasm, she paused before continuing, "Actually, the reason why I asked the princess to talk alone is mainly because the reason why the two people in the palace will dislike Mizhen this time is, in the final analysis, to let the niece of the mother's family have a place in the backyard of the heir!"
"So, do you want me to take the initiative to ask the two Shu Niangniang to let the prince accept their maiden niece as a concubine?" Zhao Taojiao said with a smile, "Or should you simply be more generous and virtuous, and invite yourself to the court and give up the position of the son and wife of the world?"
