131. Chen family
Empress Dowager Chen was born in Jiangnan and was the daughter of an official eunuch. With the current Empress Dowager Chen ruling the harem, the Chen family has become powerful.
The Chen family is Situ Yun's maternal family, and it is also Situ Yun's helper used to deal with the Wu family.
On this day, the daughters of the Chen family, under the leadership of the eldest lady of the Chen family, went to the palace to ask the queen mother for peace.
The news spread suddenly, and Wei Qian, who was the real power of the harem, immediately heard the news.
Xiangling hurriedly came to the Plum Garden Yufang Courtyard with the news.
Because of the brilliant plum blossoms in the past few days, Wei Qian moved from the Qingbian Palace to the plum garden to live. Moreover, she was confined by Situ Yun, and she happened to take the opportunity to relax for two days. However, this leisure is only not to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. It still retains some sovereignty over the harem.
Wei Qian, as the main concubine, still did not build her own palace and lived in the Qingbian Palace. Situ Yun couldn't see it, so he simply used the confinement to put Meiyuan under Wei Qian's name.
As one of the five halls of Mei that was widely rumored in later generations. Yufangyuan is known as Yumei, and the aroma is familiar. The courtyard is not big, but it is elegant and exquisite, and it is the favorite place of a concubine in the previous dynasty. Moreover, Situ Yun invited Wei Qian here at the beginning, and later Wei Qian walked into the palace. Outside, this is rumored to be the place where Wei Qian and Situ Yun are in love.
Of course, the two parties don't have this idea.
Because Wei Qian worships the Tao and often summons Kun Dao here, the Sanqing statue is set up in the Yufang Courtyard. These three clear images are introverted aura, supporting the three clear realms to offset some of the dragon qi suppression.
This is the method of avoiding dragon qi that Wei Qian pondered by observing the Dao at last year's Dao Conference.
In Yufang Courtyard, Wei Qian lives freely and often asks the plum blossom fairy to chat with her.
At this time, she was painting and calligraphy in the yard with a plum tree not far away. In addition to Xue Baochai serving on the side, there was also a red-clothed girl who was invisible to others lying next to Wei Qian. Quietly looked at the plain-clothed woman who was concentrating on painting next to her.
The plum blossom fairy walks in the plum garden, because the Sanqing realm resists the dragon qi and goes in and out at will.
"Niangniang, the grandmother of the Chen family took a few girls into the palace to meet the Queen Mother."
In Yufang Courtyard, Wei Qian was stunned when she heard this, and a little ink rendered white paper. The half-painted plum tree was suddenly destroyed by ink.
Xue Baochai stepped forward to help her change the paper.
After entering the palace for a year and a half, Xue Baochai has adapted to life in the palace. Now as the most favored female official next to Concubine Ning, she is not bad in the palace.
Wei Qian waved her hand: "Not busy." The woman pondered, stopping Xue Baochai's move.
Her skin is as white as snow, her hair is shawl, her clothes are fluttering, and the woman sits there quietly like a figure in a painting.
A gust of wind blew, and the plum blossoms fell on the black hair, and then they were plucked by the plum fairy.
Wei Qian sighed faintly: "Baochai, go to Ningshou Palace to see, are those daughters of the Chen family already old enough to be married?" By the way, let's see who is accompanying the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace. ”
Wei Qian's face sank like water, and when the news came, she immediately thought of the possible impact of this incident.
Holding the falling jade plum blossoms, Wei Qian said softly: "The wind is blowing." ”
The news brought by Xiangling shows that there are new waves after the harem has been silent for a few months.
"Xiangling, you go to the Qingbian Palace to bring the snow water buried in the palace last year, and go back to make tea for Your Majesty."
After the second daughter went down, Wei Qian put away half of the plum blossom picture she had drawn. The plum blossom fairy next to him asked curiously, "Why don't you continue?" Are you worried about those daughters of the Chen family? Isn't it common for them to come to see Empress Dowager Chen as nieces? ”
"It is normal for the Chen family to order the wife to visit the Queen Mother. But with the daughter of the Chen family, it is different. Wei Qian laughed mockingly: "Who blew the ears of the Queen Mother, and actually wanted to let the daughter of the Chen family enter the palace?" ”
Wei Qian was too lazy to fight with those palace concubines, and most of her interest was in the previous dynasty to learn dynasty governance. Now that Southern Qin is steaming, the land of the three islands has been digested, and diplomatic relations with other countries have begun to be established.
Because of Tao Ping's relationship, Peng Sangguo was the first group of countries to establish diplomatic relations.
Under the banner of Nanqin, he sailed in the South Seas to trade, and according to the map of the Immortal Lord, he has found the location of the New World.
But this first wave of exploration requires at least a year of preparation. Therefore, Nanqin is recuperating and preparing for the first wave of people to explore Nanqin.
This is a first-class event, and Wei Qian's energy is here. In contrast, the palace affairs on the side of Daming Palace are all ranked behind. But fortunately, there has been nothing major in the harem in the past few months, and everyone is safe after a few people die.
Therefore, Wei Qian still has leisure to have a tryst with the plum blossom fairy in Yufang Courtyard.
But what kind of person Wei Qian is, when the news came, he immediately thought of the Chen family's thoughts.
The plum blossom fairy was stunned: "Entering the palace, is it possible that the Chen family wants to have another queen?" ”
"The queen can't be. The prince of the East Palace is here, his position is unshakable, and the emperor will not let a successor threaten the prince. After a pause, Wei Qian said again: "But a noble concubine can come to ensure that after the death of the Queen Mother, the Chen family still occupies a high position." According to the emperor's filial piety, if the queen mother has this idea, he will not stop it. ”
When the Chen family enters the palace, will the Queen Mother still favor Wei Qian?
Wei Qian can see clearly, this is clearly someone to deal with her!
"The Queen Mother herself shouldn't have thought of this, thinking that someone was provoking. Let Xue Baochai go to find out the news, and when he comes back, he will naturally know what is going on. Hongu wants to see who is tossing. ”
At the same time, Wei Qian was also pondering. A daughter of the Chen family entered the palace, for herself......
"It doesn't matter." Wei Qian thought for a while: "What if there is a Chen family girl?" Anyway, I don't care about harem pampering. ”
"But the key is that you can't let the Chen family girl have an affair with His Majesty in the past few months."
The former head Wei Qian just took out the demeanor of the imperial concubine and reprimanded a group of princesses and princes, not allowing them to secretly have sex during the filial piety period of the emperor. If Situ Yun dares to come like this, this is a naked slap in the face.
"Situ Yun is not stupid, he will never take the initiative to do this. I'm afraid that someone will frame ......" Wei Qian thought about it, and asked Hongchun to invite Situ Yun, and let Situ Yun stay in Yufang Courtyard tonight.
said that Xue Baochai went to Ningshou Palace to inquire about the news. Seeing the car of Fengzao Palace at the door, Xue Baochai's face suddenly changed.
She is very intelligent, and when she sees this, she knows that this matter is inseparable from her cousin.
"Suffered! If it is really manipulated by my cousin, in the future, my cousin and sister of the Wei family will fight, and I will ...... "Xue Baochai is caught in the middle, and I am afraid that life will not be easy.
At this time, the women walked out of the Ningshou Palace. The daughters of the Chen family, Yingying Yanyan, surrounded the Empress Dowager Chen, and Jia Yuanchun stood next to her and smiled and flattered.
Seeing Xue Baochai, Jia Yuanchun stopped her: "You come here, but what's the matter with my cousin?" ”
The Queen Mother restrained her smile and looked at Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang heard that the Chen family is coming, and wants to ask the Queen Mother if she wants to stay for dinner at noon." ”
"Don't bother Concubine Ning, let them accompany the mourning family in Ningshou Palace." Empress Dowager Chen commanded, Xue Baochai knew the opportunity to retire, and hurriedly went back to report.
Hearing that Jia Yuanchun was here, Wei Qian's face turned cold, and he was silent for a while: "That's it, you go down first." Don't think about it these days. ”
In the evening, please Situ Yun rest here. Wei Qian talked about the affairs of Empress Dowager Chen.
"The concubine is thinking, does Your Majesty want to marry a daughter of the Chen family?"
"Cousin of the Chen family?" Situ Yun thought for a while: "Now? ”
"Naturally, not now. However, a marriage contract can be made after one year of filial piety, and the three-year period will be welcomed into the palace. After all, it is the mother of His Majesty Xià and the relatives of the Queen Mother. If the mother is really a little bad, she can also use this to protect the wealth of the Chen family. ”
Situ Yun does have some feelings for the Chen family. If it weren't for the help of the Chen family, he might not even be able to live to adulthood.
"How many cousins of the Chen family, have you seen it?" The two respect each other like guests and are like-minded, Situ Yun still believes in Wei Qian's construction.
"Nope." Wei Qian shook her head: "But today, my sister invited the daughter of the Chen family into the palace, presumably with the intention of seeing each other for marriage." "I'm afraid there are still thoughts of letting Jia Baoyu marry the daughter of the Chen family.
Wei Qian needs to make arrangements as soon as possible: "Your Majesty will choose one or two people to enter the palace, and go back and let the Queen Mother marry her." I think there are a few people on the Ninth Prince's side. There are also a few young people from the royal family, all of whom can enter a few people. ”
"You and the queen mother arrange this. But I'll take the time to check it out tomorrow. Situ Yun already likes beauty, otherwise he would not love Wei Qian's "vase".
"It doesn't matter if you go and see, but be careful. I just said it in front of other people two days ago, and if His Majesty causes trouble, everyone's faces will not look good. ”
Smiled and made tea for Situ Yun, Situ Yun's expression was dark, and he thought of a deeper level. is so coincidental, suddenly a daughter of the Chen family enters the palace, who is calculating herself?
