Since the collapse of the first queen, the status of the Zhenguo Mansion has been getting worse day by day. The men of the Guogong Mansion could not get the attention of the emperor, and the women could not be summoned by the queen.

The cold reception from the palace is the weather vane, and the imperial relatives and eunuchs of Chang'an City are all alienated from the Zhenguo Mansion, lest they dislike His Majesty and bring disaster to the family.

The second young master and the third young master of the Zhenguo Mansion have reached the age of looking for relatives and marrying, and the Zhenguo Mansion has searched around Chang'an City, but they have not found a family that is married to their own family.

If it weren't for the cold reception in the palace, the young masters of the Zhenguo Mansion would be the sought-after husbands of the major families. They are handsome, well-behaved, have a clean backyard, and have a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Now there are young masters who have deep girls who fall in love with the Guogong Mansion, and the family will not let them marry into the Guogong Mansion.

When they heard the news of the marriage in the Zhenguo Mansion, the masters of the family were drinking and chatting around a table, and the news extinguished their happy mood. The emperor doesn't like the prince so much, and the marriage given to the second prince is even a concubine. The prince was given a marriage of two little hairy girls, and the side concubine was still a concubine.

Although he felt that his son-in-law was bullied and unhappy, the wives of the Zhenguo Mansion were still willing in their hearts, and no one wanted to have such an existence as the eldest son.

The eldest princess's mansion was full of joy, and the master and his subordinates were all happy that the eldest lady of their family could become the second princess. The eldest princess and her son Wei Shounian are discussing matters related to this marriage.

They believed that His Majesty trusted the Eldest Princess's Mansion, so he gave his family's granddaughter to the second prince who was most likely to replace the crown prince. The eldest princess was very optimistic and thought: With me being the only aunt of the saint, it is just around the corner to let the second prince replace the crown prince in the future. His granddaughter became the queen, and his grandson became a ......

The eldest princess's point of view is: if you don't have it in your life, you have to find all kinds of ways to get it. She has been in the deep palace since she was a child, and she has used this method to obtain greater benefits.

The biological mother of the eldest princess had a low status until her death, and after her death, because she gave birth to a princess, she had to be buried as a four-grade concubine. Her biological mother is Concubine De's palace maid, once when the emperor was fortunate to Concubine De, Concubine De was unwell, so she asked the palace maid to sleep on her behalf, and she was pregnant overnight.

Concubine De is also the mother of the former emperor and the grandmother of the current emperor. Because she has children and no daughters, she treats the daughters born to her palace maids well, and the first emperor is much older than her, because the two often get together in the palace of Concubine De, compared with other brothers and sisters in the harem, they have a very good relationship.

The eldest princess's name is Yunxia, it is said that on the day she was born, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the first emperor thought it was an auspicious omen, named her Yunxia, and instructed Concubine De and her son to treat her preferentially. She herself also has scheming, and she has a degree of advance and retreat, in front of her brothers and sisters who are weaker than herself, she can fight and grab if she can. In the face of Concubine De's mother and son, she won by not fighting.

Therefore, although her biological mother had no grace, the eldest princess enjoyed the favor of the three dynasties.

The eldest princess's only son, Wei Shounian, actually has no daughters. The two current concubines of his family were born from the concubines he liked, and they were recorded in the name of the Wu family when they were born.

These two concubines are nominally raised under the name of the eldest princess, but the eldest princess does not discipline them personally at all, and she only loves her grandson in her heart. She sent her two grandmothers to raise her two granddaughters, and the eldest princess's mansion needed to use her daughters to marry the big families, so they were raised with their daughters since they were young. The two of them are as beautiful as flowers, and they are still proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but their upbringing is a little worse. These two granddaughters have the same looks and talents as concubines, but they don't have the same demeanor and wisdom as a master's mother. The grandmother who raised them just hoped that they would never be separated from the princess's mansion and their own control.

The third and fourth ladies of the eldest princess's mansion were born of the Wu family's marrying maids, because Wei Shounian didn't like the Wu family, and even the children born to the maids who didn't like anything to protect the Wu family, the third miss Wei Ziyu and the fourth miss Wei Zihan grew up with the Wu family since they were children.

The two young ladies who grew up with the Wu family naturally have similar personalities to the Wu family: dignified, courteous, and duty-bound.

Wu learned the news of the marriage and talked to Ziyu once. She said: "This marriage is not good for the princess's mansion and the crown prince. Therefore, your grandmother and your father will not care about your life and death in the future, they value your eldest sister. You went to the Prince's Mansion, and everything was on your own. Get along well with the crown princess, respect her, help her, and keep your duty, and you will naturally have a place for you. The tutor in the Zhenguo Mansion is very good, and the princess must not be difficult to get along with. In the future, I am afraid that my mother will not be able to help you much, so I can only give you as much dowry as possible and arrange for a few loyal subordinates to follow you. ”

She thought for a moment and then said, "Since this family has given up on you, you only live for yourself and find a way to live." The future is good and yours for the bad, and it has nothing to do with others. Do you see what I mean?"

Ziyu was just twelve years old, and she was already very sensible at a young age, she cried and knelt on the ground holding Wu's legs: "Mother, my daughter understands, I understand, I don't care about others, my daughter still has to take care of her mother's brother and sister." ”

Wu touched her head and sighed: "Good boy, you have to face risks at such a young age, and your mother is very heartbroken and helpless. Mother is a person who has no ability, and her son can't protect her, so naturally I can't help you. ”

The concubine who was given to the crown prince's side concubine, the third lady of the Wei family, was abandoned by the family before she got married because she could not bring benefits to the family.

In the face of the previous marriage in the palace, the Huang family was mixed. Several owners also got together to discuss matters.

Ren sat on the top with a fat face and said sullenly: "The third daughter of my family only got a side concubine, which makes people feel aggrieved." ”

Uncle Huang Zuoxiang drank tea and was silent, sneering in his heart. The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and it is not afraid of choking you.

The second master looked at his mother and then at his eldest brother, and comforted: "Now the second highness can ...... is important, there will be more opportunities in the future of the concubine and the concubine. Look at our eldest sister...... "Anyway, it's not the daughter of the second room who becomes a side concubine, the youngest daughter of the second room is not yet an adult, and there will be more opportunities in the future.

The third master was unhappy: "What's the way, how can you and I influence Niangniang's decision?" ”

Ren sighed and said, "That's the only way." Now Niangniang is also anxious in the palace, that fox spirit dominates Your Majesty, and the concubines in the harem can't even see a single ...... the emperor's hair. ”

Several masters were so shocked by Mrs. Ren's words that they almost threw away the teacups in their hands, which was too disrespectful and vulgar.

Zuo Xiang sneered in his heart, surprised, your mother is so vulgar. Mrs. Ren has always been decently in front of people, but in fact, she is vulgar and vicious.

When it comes to the queen's current situation, everyone is silent and thinking of a way in their hearts, after all, the glory and wealth of the family are tied to the mother's body.

Zuo Xiang said: "It would be nice if my family had a beautiful sister like a flower." ”

Zuo Xiang can see the anxiety in the emperor's heart these days, and Zuo Xiang, who is a traitor, quickly figured out the reason: His Majesty's favorite concubine has become the target of the harem, and he is a little worried that he can't protect her.

Zuo Xiang is a qualified traitor, and he must find a way to share his worries and solve problems for His Majesty, right? Therefore, he wants the Huang family to take the initiative to send a target to His Majesty to block arrows for his concubine.

Mrs. Ren patted the chair: "Send a sister to compete for my sister's favor, you can think of it, you ......"

The second old man hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Ren's next words, to say that the most important thing in the family is Zuo Xiang, this person is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he still has an old enmity with the family, if he turns his face and goes against the family, then their Huang family will suffer a big loss.

"Mother, think about it, the sisters of the Huang family are all helping our Huang family, what's the difference? It's better than having your favor robbed by others, if Concubine Wan gives birth to a boy and half a girl, it will not be good for His Royal Highness. ”

The third old man nodded: "Niangniang is also past the age of competing for favor, she should put her mind on achieving things for His Royal Highness." It is more appropriate to give the little woman of the Huang family what this kind of young woman does. ”

Mrs. Ren agreed after a sip of tea after simmering on her daughter's grace and the future of the Huang family, and decided to choose a young and beautiful Huang family girl from her family to send to the harem, so as to consolidate the favor of the queen and strive for more benefits for the Huang family.

Zuo Xiang's wish was fulfilled, he took a sip of tea, and smiled secretly in his heart: In the face of the target sent by your own family, will you shoot or not?
