Chapter 700: The Emperor's Scheme
Yi Dong Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the appearance of the imperial doctor, the emperor should not be seriously ill. But what does this harem matter with them?
The acting king had already pounced in front of the emperor's bed, and he choked up: "Brother Huang, where are you uncomfortable?" ”
The emperor patted the acting king on the shoulder, and Zhang Fuhai said in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said that Your Majesty is angry. ”
King Qing said: "What does the imperial brother have to order?" ”
The emperor said in a low voice, "It's because I condone the Liu family too much on weekdays." ”
King Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother Huang knows about the Chen family?" ”
The acting king looked at King Qing puzzled, "Chen family, what Chen family?" ”
"The matter of the Chen family, why didn't you talk to me earlier?" The emperor's voice carried a hint of anger, obviously he was still angry at the moment.
Dong Ruyi stepped forward, "Uncle Huang is angry, everyone doesn't tell you, it's not that I'm afraid that you will be angry." ”
The emperor looked at Dong Ruyi, "Heh, you all know the feelings, but I am alone in the dark." ”
Dong Ruyi didn't make a sound, she reviewed the recital every day, how could she not know such a thing.
King Qing glanced at him and said: "Although what Liu Xiang did was excessive, it was also reasonable. ”
The acting king also understood at this moment, he had heard earlier that although Concubine Liu Shufei had lost power, the Liu family did not let the Chen family have a good time.
He was a bastard, but he was not a fool, he said directly: "Brother Huang, this fly doesn't stare at the seamless egg, what are you angry about?" ”
When the king said this, he didn't want to help King Qing speak, he didn't want their brothers to quarrel over this matter.
Besides, what Ruyi said is right, the emperor knows, isn't this angry?
The emperor looked at the acting king for a while before saying, "The acting king has grown up." ”
When the acting king heard the emperor's praise, he immediately became excited, "As long as the imperial brother is well, the younger brother will be more sensible in the future." ”
Dong Ruyi lowered her eyebrows, her heart was sinking a little bit, she always felt that something was wrong. The emperor is not a fool, why didn't King Qing mention this matter, how could he not understand. There is also today's big battle, she thinks that the emperor urgently summoned King Qing into the palace, and he will never just say this.
The emperor grabbed the wrist of the acting king, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang's time is running out, I want to ......"
Without waiting for the emperor to finish speaking, the acting king cried out, "What nonsense is the imperial brother talking about, the imperial brother will live a hundred years old." ”
The emperor held his forehead, and he felt that what he had just said could be taken back.
The emperor sighed, "Such an adult, no matter how you say crying, you can cry." "The main thing is that it doesn't matter if you cry, you have to listen to him finish talking!
The acting king sobbed, "My brother doesn't cry, it's just that the royal brother can't say dead anymore." ”
Dong Ruyi said in his heart: "That's true." She sighed heavily in her heart.
The emperor said: "I don't say death, but I want to ask you to promise me one thing." ”
The acting king was unhappy and said: "Brother don't listen, if the royal brother has anything to say, what to ask for or not." ”
The emperor nodded, "You're still my little brother." Then I will say it bluntly, I want Miss Chen to be your concubine. ”
The acting king's expression froze.
King Qing turned his face away and didn't look at the acting king, obviously he also understood the emperor's intentions.
Dong Ruyi thought in his heart. The prince has no mother's family, but he has the support of Wei Xiang; Although Concubine Liu Shu lost power, the five princes were supported by Liu Xiangyi; If the father marries Miss Chen, then the mother concubine of the four princes is not only in charge of the harem, but also has the power of the royal mansion.
And she and the Dong family can also be officially classified into the side of the four princes.
She looked at the emperor and thought to herself, "What is the emperor going to do?" Does he really want to support the Four Princes, or does he just want to reduce Liu Xiang's power? ”
The voice of the acting king sounded in the hall, "The younger brother is all up to the royal brother, but the main concubine is forgotten, can you give her a side concubine?" ”
The voice of the acting king was earnest, and it was obvious that he was reluctant in his heart.
The emperor patted the acting king on the shoulder, "It's okay to be a side concubine, and then ask for a concubine when she has a son." ”
The acting king shook his head, "My younger brother doesn't want to marry a concubine." He said and looked behind him.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then followed the line of sight of the acting king, Dong Ruyi stood there in a daze.
Obviously, she didn't understand what the acting king had to do with her whether he married a concubine or not.
The emperor said: "Ruyi, you go and see if the queen and the crown prince have arrived." ”
Dong Ruyi saluted and left, she didn't understand what her father was going to do, and she didn't want to understand, anyway, her father's thoughts were not something that normal people could understand.
Waiting for Dong Ruyi to leave, the acting king let go and cried, "Brother Huang, my younger brother is useless, my younger brother can't bear the entire palace." Now, if it weren't for Ruyi, my younger brother didn't know what would happen in the house.
Now the younger brother is already very satisfied, and the younger brother doesn't want to block Ruyi, and he doesn't want others to press on top of her head. ”
Can he not be satisfied? The silver is spent casually, and Dong Ruyi was in charge of it before, but now that Dong Ruyi has entered the palace, what does he want to do, and what he likes to do.
When he thought of Aunt Liu, he was stunned in his heart, he felt that it was right not to want a princess. Unless he has a brain disease, he will think of marrying a princess to take care of him.
The emperor took a while before he said, "Just do as you say." ”
He began to envy the father and daughter of the acting king, father and daughter.
When the acting king saw that the emperor agreed, he relaxed his tense nerves.
The emperor issued a decree on marriage, and the officials kneeling outside the hall realized at this moment that the emperor's illness was faked.
The emperor's fake illness made Concubine De and the four princes the biggest winners.
And the queen and the crown prince are not at a loss, at least their mother and son returned to the palace from the hot spring villa far away from the imperial court.
Liu Xiang suffered a dumb loss and fell ill directly. He was really sick, and even the imperial doctor said that Liu Xiang needed to recuperate for a while.
The emperor was not arrogant and appeased the Liu family, and his appeasement was to lift the ban on Concubine Liu Shu and the five princes.
Now the situation between the DPRK and China is unclear, and the forces behind the crown prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are equal. Everyone knew that the future battle for the prince would sweep the entire court.
The most exciting thing now is how the household department led by Dong Wende will stand in line.
The Chen family did not complain at all about the holy decree of the side concubine, the acting palace has strong assets, and has the support of the Marquis of Ruyi, as long as the four princes can ascend to the throne, what does the Chen family want in the future?
As for the concubine, they felt that as long as their daughter gave birth to a son, the position of the acting princess would be in the bag sooner or later.
Now the most difficult thing for the Chen family is the dowry of Concubine Chen, thinking about the one hundred and eight lifts that the Dong family married to the righteous daughter, the Chen family has a bitterness and can't say it.
Their daughters can't even compare to the righteous daughters of other people!
The Chen family barely scraped together one hundred and eight dowries, and finally sent them to the palace of the acting king in front of Ruyi Hou and Lu.
The Chen family thinks so, the side concubine is not the main concubine, everything is done according to the side concubine of the Jin Palace. More importantly, they don't want to wait for Ruyi Hou and Lu to marry their daughters.
