67. Reprimand
Waiting until the sun was about to set, Zhu and Mrs. Qin, who were very happy, went out of the Great Compassion Temple, and before parting, there was a period of reluctance, and the next day to worship the Buddha together, Zhu watched Mrs. Qin leave. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing Mrs. Qin walking away, Zhu's face was full of joy, and he walked to his carriage with a smile, as soon as he got into the carriage, he saw that there was only Yao Keqing in the carriage, and was about to ask Yao Qishen where he went, Yao Keqing said to Chunxiang behind her: "You go to the carriage behind, I have something to say to your wife!"
Chunxiang looked at Zhu, Zhu was surprised, but because she was in a good mood, she thought that Yao Keqing had something to tell her in private, so she nodded and motioned for Chunxiang to go down.
The carriage walked all the way, Yao Keqing only looked at the Zhu family, but did not speak, and the Zhu family who saw it was furious, so he had to speak: "What do you have to say to me?"
Yao Keqing smiled lightly, "Mother and Mrs. Qin have a good conversation today?"
Zhu was proud in his heart, "Mrs. Qin's maiden home is also from the north, so we talked about some of the scenery and customs of the north! Although Mrs. Qin has not been back for many years, she remembers the things in the north very clearly!"
It's all about her mother's family, it seems that there is really a lot to say, Yao Keqing said: "It seems that Mrs. Qin likes her mother very much, and she even told her mother about her mother's family!"
Zhu pretended to smile reservedly, "It's just that they all happen to come from the north, and Mrs. Qin misses her hometown very much, so she left me to talk for a while!"
Yao Keqing asked, "What did you say?"
"Mrs. Qin said......" Zhu suddenly reacted and said unhappily: "What are you asking for?"
Yao Keqing snorted coldly, "I know it even if I don't say it! After all, it is inseparable from Concubine Qin and the eldest prince in the palace!"
The Zhu family was unimpressed by Yao Keqing's attitude, "It's also a fact that the Qin family has a mother, that is, it's nothing, there are more girls in the palace in Beijing, is it possible that we have to avoid these people?"
Yao Keqing ignored her, and asked again, "Did you already know that Mrs. Qin was going to burn incense today, so you took me and my brother as a reason and ran to the Great Compassion Temple?"
Seeing Yao Keqing directly call her "you", Zhu Shi was a little annoyed, "What's the matter, I'm your mother, and it's too rude for you to call me 'you'!"
Yao Keqing sneered: "I don't know whether to live or die!"
Zhu said angrily: "What did you say?"
"I said you don't know whether you live or die!" Yao Keqing repeated.
Zhu was furious, and raised his hand to slap Yao Keqing, but Yao Keqing had already taken precautions, and slammed the hand she threw over, "Do you think I said something wrong?"
Zhu's good mood just now was completely ruined, and he said angrily: "I've been married for more than a year, but few people in Beijing know that I'm such a person, I'm going to be bullied and oppressed to death in the mansion, is it possible that I am not allowed to find a way to live for myself?
Yao Keqing hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I think you are not looking for a way to live, but a faster way to die than sitting in Yao's house and waiting for death!"
Zhu Shi was taken aback, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yao Keqing asked, "Why did you find the Qin family?"
Zhu asked rhetorically: "Why can't I find the Qin family? Qin Taishi is an old minister who has gone through three dynasties, and the Qin family has another mother who gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the eldest prince is about to get married, and the main concubine and side concubine he married are all daughters of the family. Why should I let go of such a great opportunity?"
Yao Keqing glanced at her contemptuously, "That's why I said that you don't know whether you live or die! Such a person, others are afraid to avoid it, and only you will be hot-headed to paste it!"
Zhu Shi was stunned and said: "Why are others afraid to avoid it? How many people in such a powerful family can't even get a tie?"
Yao Keqing asked her in turn: "Do you think the eldest prince will definitely be able to sit in that seat in the future?"
Zhu nodded, "Isn't it?" He is the eldest son, the queen has no outcome, and his mother's family also has power, which prince can compare to him?"
Yao Keqing sighed, this stepmother has a brain, but it is limited to a large area in the backyard, once it involves the affairs of the previous dynasty, she will be confused. The Xiao Miao clan in the previous life dared to marry his own daughter to the third prince on the cusp of that kind of limelight, probably because he lacked political consciousness and was blinded by the wealth in front of him!
Glancing at Zhu again, I had to warn her, otherwise I don't know what stupid thing she would do. "I'll tell you about this now, if you're still obsessed, don't blame me!"
Zhu Shi nodded stunned, although she didn't like the tone of Yao Keqing's talk to her, but I had to say that she really didn't understand this, she just wanted to find a backer and keep her status, but this didn't mean that she wanted to make trouble for herself.
"It's true that the Qin family is the Taishi Mansion, but this Taishi is a posthumous gift, not something that Taishi Qin got when he was alive. The position of the three princes of this dynasty has long been fictitious, except for a name, there is no real power at all. After the death of the Qin family, Concubine Qin cried and begged for the infant prince in Qianqing Palace in order to earn greater glory for her mother's family and to give the eldest prince a more stable backer.
For the sake of the eldest prince, the emperor was impatient with Concubine Qin's crying! At the beginning, Concubine Qin was not asking for the position of a prince, she was asking for a title, she wanted the emperor to give the Qin family a title that has been passed down from generation to generation, but the emperor had no choice but to retreat and named her father as a prince! Do you know what the title of the Qin princess is? It is deferential! This is the emperor's warning to the Qin family! The Qin family is required to be respectful and obedient to the holy will!
But since the old lady was named the prince, the Qin family has always regarded itself as the Taishi Mansion, and even the serious ministers and nobles do not look at it, and they have always acted arrogantly, which has annoyed many people in Beijing, and everyone just endures it for the sake of the Qin family and a prince! Now, the eldest prince is getting bigger and bigger, and the heart of the Qin family is also bigger! Because the Qin family and the capital family had a friendship earlier, in the past few years, they have tried to get in touch with the big families in Beijing, form a gang for the eldest prince, and cultivate power.
The eldest prince turned sixteen years ago, and when he reached the marriageable age, he set up a concubine and a side concubine according to the system, but Concubine Qin picked for two years, widely selected celebrities in Beijing, and set a concubine and three side concubines for the eldest prince at one time, almost half of the major forces in Beijing were co-opted. The Yao family has only risen for three generations, and the foundation is still shallow, and they don't have the ability to compete for the dragon's merits, otherwise, once something goes wrong, they will be pushed out to blame. The Yao family has no close friends in the court, and there are no reliable in-laws, so when the time comes, there will only be a dead end!"
Moreover, the emperor is now in the prime of life, and he can still reign for more than ten or twenty years, is he happy to see that before he dies, his son has begun to befriend ministers, cultivate party henchmen and do the right thing with himself? As a superior person, no one wants the power they still hold in their hands to be taken away by someone who has hollowed out their minds, and what the Qin family is doing now has made the emperor very taboo, but they still don't know it!
"The emperor now has six princes, and the eldest prince is just one of them, but he is just the name of the chief, but Huaguo has never said that he has a long. Although there is no prince in the middle palace today, there are princesses, and it is not impossible to give birth, so who knows when the queen will give birth to a prince? When the time comes, what will the eldest prince be?
In terms of talent, he is inferior to the second prince, the second prince is one year younger than him, but his views on political affairs are much stronger than him, and he has already been praised by the emperor many times; in terms of identity, the third prince born by Yu Guifei is more noble than him; in terms of favor, the youngest sixth prince from Li Concubine is the most loved by the emperor, why do you think that the eldest prince will be the final winner?"
After listening to Yao Keqing's words, Zhu was stunned, and had long forgotten that he was unhappy to be slapped in the face by Yao Keqing, "It turns out that this matter is so complicated! I'm still wondering why Mrs. Qin is so kind to me, I thought she was really friends with me!"
Yao Keqing didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, "Did you tell her that the Fang family worked hard to get you to marry into the Yao family for me and my brother? And my brother and I are close to you, and the Fang family is also very good to you? You have a lot of face in the Yao family?"
Zhu nodded unconsciously when he heard this, and froze as soon as he nodded.
Yao Keqing said coldly: "I won't stop you if you want to do anything yourself, but if you want to drag the Fang family, as well as me and my brother into the water, you'd better not fight this idea!"
Zhu Shi said unnaturally: "I didn't say anything else, just a few words, and I didn't ruin the reputation of the Fang family, and I didn't promise her to let the Fang family help do anything!"
"It's good that you didn't agree!" Yao Keqing took a sip of tea and continued: "Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be sitting in this seat talking to me now!"
Zhu's heart jumped, "What do you mean by this?"
"Literally! you understand, don't you?" Yao Keqing put down the teacup leisurely.
The Zhu family was first shocked, then angry, and then calmed down again, "What you said lightly, I was given marriage by the emperor, and now that I have married into the Yao family, the Fang family can't do anything to me!"
Yao Keqing asked: "How did you marry into the Yao family, do you remember?" Seeing the Zhu family nodding, he said again: "It's true that the Fang family found you, but do you know why the Fang family found you?"
Zhu had an ominous premonition in his heart, and sure enough, Yao Keqing's next words verified this premonition.
"It was I who told my grandmother that I needed a stepmother, a stepmother who was at odds with the Miao family, and was not at peace enough, so my grandmother came to you! So, you don't have to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous in front of me, I know your nature clearly, save some effort! Don't make a show in front of me! I don't care how you fight with the second room, but don't mess with me, I can let you sit on this son, and you can also sit on it with another person. If you dare to use me and my brother as an excuse again, I will keep you and regret not being at the beginning! What about you? I will obediently sit in this position of Mrs. Changxianghou, and with me, you will not be able to die after all. As for the other things you are delusional? Forget it! You yourself don't have children yet, and my brother and I are your talismans, so you'd better not offend us, otherwise, you'll really be alone in the Yao family! Besides, not everyone can sit in the position of Changxianghou! Don't you say?"
In the previous life, the Zhu family was not a safe person, so she had to get her in, but she asked the Zhu family to come to contain the Xiao Miao family, not to block herself.
Hearing Yao Keqing's last words, Zhu sat paralyzed in the carriage and couldn't speak for a long time. Yao Keqing was very satisfied with Zhu's quietness, and leaned on the pillow to close his eyes and recuperate.
