Chapter 68: Ah Ruan Girl
Rich and noble have always tempted the world, and they have never seen poverty and sorrow.
Concubine Liang has been sober, or rather, since she was awakened by Concubine Xian, she has been sober.
Soberly and Mingjing Emperor tune. love, soberly selected the only few princes of Emperor Ming Jing, and soberly obeyed the orders of the Yuan family to kick away the prince and the Su family......
It's just that Emperor Mingjing still needs her Yuan family, and seeks skin with the tiger, and he can't look down on the credit of assisting the prince, and wants to climb the ladder and follow the dragon's skills, and then send the Yuan family to a new height.
This is the desire of every family - to go to the next level.
However, some people may be timid, maybe they are big-minded, steady and steady, even if they seek wealth in danger, it is also a steady "risk", however, some people are like the Yuan family, there is no fear.
But I don't know that sometimes, people are not as good as heaven.
In the face of death, nothing more than the past is smoke.
Zhongcui Palace.
Huang Shun is Emperor Mingjing's personal eunuch, and it is overkill to read a reward decree, however, a trip for a favorite concubine is not worth it.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said...... Imperial ...... Golden silk fragrant wood inlaid cicada jade beads, a color palace makeup thousand leaves save gold peony bracelet, a pair of exquisite dotted emerald grass head insects inlaid with beads and silver hairpins, a pair of tired silk bead hairpins, a pair of royal blue dotted emerald bead hairpins, a pair of jasper Tenghua jade pendants, and cloud foot pearl tendril hairpins
Burnt blue inlaid with gold flowers, a pair of red jade dripping bead earrings, a set of red gold inlaid jade dripping bead armor, a pair of red gold phoenix tail agate tassels, red gold treasure hairpin, a pair of cloisonne red coral earrings, a silver magpie Dengmei hairpin ......"
As Huang Shun's voice fluctuated, the little eunuchs outside the Zhongcui Palace also moved the corresponding treasures into the Zhongcui Palace one after another, and filled the entire courtyard.
Concubine Liang knelt on the ground to listen to the order, her jade hands clenched into fists, and her beautifully trimmed nails pierced into the flesh, causing pain.
Peizhu knelt behind her, lowered her head and gently tugged at her sleeve, and called in a low voice, "Niangniang......"
The month of March is not always sunny, with occasional clouds obscuring the sun hanging in the sky and the only radiance.
Concubine Liang was stunned, her numb expression barely squeezed out a smile, looked at the holy decree in front of her, and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
stood up, took the holy decree, looked at the imperial gift of this courtyard, smiled, and sent Huang Shun away.
After a while, Concubine Liang said faintly, "Peizhu, Peihuan, you are the girl who has been with the palace for the longest time, and you have reached the age of marriage, can you have someone in mind?" ”
Before Pei Zhu and Pei Huan could get up, they knelt down again and said, "The slave is willing to follow Niangniang for the rest of her life!" ”
Indeed, Peizhu and Peihuan are two girls, and the Yuan family has always been cultivated as grandmothers, if it weren't for the current situation, Concubine Liang would not have mentioned the question of whether they were willing to leave.
However, now, it can be regarded as the last bit of protection for the two of them by Concubine Liang.
It is better to marry out early and leave this harem than to follow her master in the cold palace for the rest of your life.
Concubine Liang is not stupid, she clearly understands what kind of blow her father, General Yuan's death is to the Yuan family and to her!
Although the Yuan family joined the army, however, there was only one Yuan general with the highest official position and the most real power, and the other children of the Yuan family, under the deliberate suppression of Emperor Ming Jing, just took on a false position with a good reputation.
In other words, General Yuan is the heaven of the Yuan family.
And now, the sky is falling......
She, the concubine, was also canonized by her father, and she has this self-knowledge.
Concubine Liang didn't even have time to cry for her dead father, so she had to think about the way out of the Yuan family now.
Now, she is the only one who can take charge of the Yuan family.
"Get up first, this is the last thing this palace can do, you have to think about it."
Peizhu Peihuan looked at each other, their eyes were full of trepidation, they had never seen their master like this.
Overnight, heaven and hell are nothing more than that.
Concubine Liang stepped forward and tried to help them up, but found that their legs seemed to have roots, nailed to the ground, and they did not move at all.
It is enough to show their loyalty.
sighed, regardless of the group of minions behind him, holding the bright yellow holy decree in his hand, he walked step by step along the bluestone slab towards the inner hall of Zhongcui Palace.
She walked extremely slowly, and every step seemed to take a great deal of effort, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
After a while, Concubine Liang seemed to remember something, turned her head, and said, "A few days ago, Ah Ruan went to see the crown prince?" ”
Ah Ruan was the little girl she brought into the palace when she was still a good concubine, six years have passed, and now she has grown up.
It's time for marriage.
Daming's lady is not a girl who does not go out of the door, and with a maid, you can also hand over a post to visit the girls in other mansions.
However, there is no one in the Prince's East Palace who can justifiably visit.
In this way, what Yuan Aruan's idea is can be regarded as Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows.
It's just that no one thought that she was so bold as a little woman.
"Back to Niangniang, two days ago, Miss Yuan went to the East Palace to ask for a meeting with His Royal Highness the Prince."
Although the East Palace is one of the palaces of the harem, it is located on the edge of the harem and is only separated from the imperial city by a wall.
Emperor Ming Jing took pity on His Royal Highness the Prince's young age and troublesome entry and exit from the palace, so he specially built a door connecting the palace and the outside of the palace for His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Has the prince seen her?" Concubine Liang asked.
"The little plum beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince welcomed Miss Yuan in."
Concubine Liang was stunned for a moment, and said for a while, "They can be regarded as a little childhood sweetheart, so ...... It's good. ”
Of course, Concubine Liang is a childhood sweetheart, and the prince will never admit it.
No one knew how frightened he was when he returned to the East Palace that day and saw a girl with a delicate smile on her face and looking at him shyly and timidly.
The first reaction was not who this girl was, or that this girl was beautiful or something. Instead, I was thinking: I finally ate meat, and I guess it's going to be gone.
Sometimes, however, misunderstandings arise in this way.
Li Chengze looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and was distracted, and the little Li Zi on the side thought that he had figured out what his master meant, and he grinned secretly.
Yuan Aruan, who was on the other side, also had a proud arc at the corners of his mouth.
A fifteen-year-old girl, who was precocious and married and had children in Daming, is naturally not too young.
In the early years, the original triennial draft, Emperor Ming Jing shelved it on the grounds of the Ming War, and directly went up to the age of the girl to marry on her own, or wait for the next draft.
Yuan Aruan is the eldest daughter of the Yuan family of this generation, a pampered daughter, and a noble status. There is a well-favored concubine in the palace, and there is a general Yuan Da who is reused by the emperor outside the palace.
Her marriage, in a certain sense, represents what position the Yuan family will stand in with all the soldiers and horses under his command.
The right age is the eldest prince and His Royal Highness the crown prince.
Although the latter status is more noble, however, the Yuan family secretly cares about the eldest prince.
The biological mother of the eldest prince has a low status and needs a strong wife.
And what the Yuan family needs is to follow the dragon's skill, which is coveted by everyone.
Just when the Yuan family was choosing Yuan Aruan's marriage, they didn't want a bad news to fall on her head, and it fell on the head of the Yuan family, dizzy and out of breath.
People with a bit of political brains understand that the Yuan family is going to be defeated, and it is not stronger than two generations, it will be like a flash in the pan, and finally disappear without a trace.
However, how could the Yuan family allow all the hard work of General Yuan to be ruined!
In this regard, Yuan Aruan's marriage is even more important!
Her husband is either the emperor or the crown prince!
Only in this way can we save the Yuan family, which is now gradually going to ruin.
Everyone knows that the body of the saint is getting worse and worse, and no one knows that one day he will suddenly ring the death knell and pass away.
Besides, now it is enough to have a good concubine in the harem, and it is impossible to take another Yuan Aruan.
So after weighing it again and again, the Yuan family could only put the last straw on the prince.
What's more, in the eyes of outsiders, the two who have had a childhood sweetheart are the most compatible, besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no wife so far, and even Liangdi and others have never heard of it, once Yuan Aruan marries the prince, the rest of his life can be regarded as settled.
At least you don't have to think like Concubine Liang, who learned from it, but it ended up dismally.
Of course, these are the plans of the Yuan family.
If the crown prince is still the original prince, perhaps, the Yuan family's plan can be successful.
However, the crown prince here became Li Chengze.
They didn't know that this so-called life-saving straw ended up being the last mountain that crushed the Yuan family.
On this day, Li Chengze sneaked into Su Zhiwan's Xianfu Palace as usual.
What greeted him was not his daughter-in-law's fragrant and soft body, or even the imaginary petal bath.
Rather, it was a few young girls who were smiling and groaning.
In the dormitory, in addition to Su Zhiwan and Li Chengze, there are only a few young girls.
There are all kinds of types.
Innocent and charming, mature and intellectual, delicate and lovely, full of amorous feelings.
"How is it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still satisfied?" Su Zhiwan said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also worked hard over the years, but he really lacks a confidant, and this palace is negligent." I think it's time for the crown princess to choose carefully. ”
She wanted to send people directly to the East Palace, but after thinking about it, she still pushed it in front of him with her own hands.
Li Chengze sighed helplessly, he has been thinking about Qiang Wu these days, how can he think about the crown princess?
He had never thought about the crown princess or anything like that.
Through the faint silver gauze curtain, Su Zhiwan's hazy figure was not very clear.
The night breeze blew slowly, very light, and the silver gauze swayed slightly, like rippling blue waves, and like a beauty pulling her hair, revealing a stunning face.
At least in Li Chengze's eyes, it is stunning.
Waving off these girls, Li Chengze gradually approached and lifted the curtain.
