Chapter 534: An Embarrassing Request
The three princes have always been not very forbidden on women, except for the main concubine of the eldest grandson, the position of the four side concubines is full, except for the women of the Chen family who have been implicated in the previous rebellion and have not come out much, the other three side concubines are the Su family, the Zhu family, and the Lu family.
Needless to say, the Lu family is the concubine of a branch of the Lu family, the mother of the three princes, who has a daughter, and is quite favored, and the Zhu family is the daughter of the original military squire, and she has no children, and she is older, and her appearance is inferior to the other two. And the most favored of the three is Su Xun'er of the Su family, and this Su family is the maiden family of the late prince's crown princess.
The daughter of the Su family can be elected as the crown princess, and her strength is naturally not weak, although she is average in the ranks, she is a well-known Wenchen family, and the old man Su is even more learned. This Su Xun'er is not like the crown princess is a concubine of the long house, but a concubine of the second room, and she is not as virtuous and virtuous as her cousin, elegant and kind, but a scheming woman, just like a mutant, and she also has the natural gentle and kind appearance of the Su family as a cover, her words are also kind, and she is also kind to others, which is actually very good to disguise.
Before the third prince gained power, the eldest grandson and the Su family fought constantly in the mansion, the eldest grandson had two sons, the Su family had a son and a daughter, and Du Lingxiu was very smart. And the background of the two people is not weak, although the eldest grandson's family is strong, but the Su family is more favored, and he is more scheming, so he has the upper hand more, the eldest grandson has suffered a lot of hidden losses in her hands, and what she hates is itchy teeth, but she can't catch her fox tail.
If the previous competition for favor in the back house could still be endured, but the three princes only let people protect the eldest son and the daughter born by the Su family to go out of the city to avoid it for the time being, but they touched the reverse scales of the eldest grandson. A man can not do it, but the power of a son cannot be disputed. After the third prince quickly crowned the queen of the eldest grandson clan this time, he quickly named the Su family as a concubine. It is also the intention of appeasing the Su family.
After all, in the matter of his accession to the throne, although the Su family did not come out to wave their flags and shout, they also remained silent, which was already a rare support for the third prince. With the Su family always supporting the orthodox style, and there are indeed a few old stubborns in the family, this time they can remain silent, and I have to say that there is a role of the Su family in it.
This is a very normal behavior for the three princes. It has touched the sensitive nerves of the eldest grandson. Of course, she still took the overall situation into account, although she complained to the third prince twice, and complained more in private. But he also knew that the current throne of the third prince was not very stable, and there was no trouble.
It's just that the cause of this time is not the fight between the Changsun clan and the Su clan, at least not on the surface. This time it was the thirteenth princess, the daughter of Queen Liu, who had an accident.
The third prince ascended the throne. Queen Liu's life is not easy, Concubine Lu Li's death is directly related to Queen Liu, and even if it has nothing to do with Concubine Lu Li's death, as the queen of Yuwenji, it is completely different from the wife of the emperor who was forced to abdicate.
However, the strategy of the Liu family is to stay still, and the third prince also promised the Liu family that he would not attack Queen Liu, so Queen Liu has remained silent during this time. Even the prayer ceremony held for her did not show up.
However, if you don't show up at the blessing ceremony, you will definitely show up at the birthday banquet. On the same day, the thirteenth princess was pushed into the pond of the imperial garden, but fortunately, the autumn water was not deep, and the people around her arrived quickly, so the thirteenth princess was not drowned. But although he was not drowned, this incident spread at that time, and everyone knew that the thirteenth princess was even more sick because of the cold weather and cold water.
When such a thing happened, it was when the third prince was doing a face project to hold a birthday banquet for his stepmother, and the anger of the third prince can be imagined. He called for someone to find out what was going on at once. This investigation was found on the eldest grandson. The man kept saying that the new queen of the Changsun clan resented Queen Liu in her heart, because she became the queen, Queen Liu still gave her a cold face, and in the past, Queen Liu was harsh on her.
The third prince actually didn't believe it a little, not that he believed that the eldest grandson had no complaints in his heart, but he felt that the eldest grandson should not be so reckless, but all the evidence pointed to the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson couldn't prove that he was wronged, and the third prince also hesitated, after all, the eldest grandson was not completely unable to do that kind of thing.
The top priority is to appease Empress Liu and the families she represents and can influence, so the third prince first severely reprimanded the eldest grandson, thinking that even if she didn't do it, she would have to take leadership responsibility, and said that she would ask someone to investigate it carefully, and added three hundred fiefs to the thirteenth princess, which can be regarded as temporarily calming down.
Although Lin Yu knew about the thirteenth princess of Lu Dao falling into the water, she was afraid to avoid the affairs in the palace now, and the investigation and disposal were all confidential, so she didn't know much about Lu Dao from the beginning.
But the next thing made her have to pay attention to this matter - Empress Liu sent someone in private.
This is already the third wave of guests, Lin Yu is very helpless, in the morning first received a holy decree, and then received King Qi, and then King Qi and Pei Ze had a secret chat about Qingqing's marriage As soon as they left, Zhang Wan'er came to show off, Zhang Wan'er left, and Queen Liu sent someone again.
This person still can't help but receive it, and the one who left the palace is the begonia that Lin Yu knows, the big celebrity around Queen Liu, and the absolute cronies.
Haitang came in and saluted Lin Yu first, and then said with a smile, "The county lord looks good these days, and he looks comfortable." ”
Lin Yu felt that she had a little meaning, and she didn't answer much, "Thanks to the careful care of the family when I was recuperating." ”
"That's also less worrying." Begonia sighed.
Lin Yu said in his heart that he still has few things to worry about, he has long been about to die, the three princes are not dead, Yin Susu is asleep, and many people are eyeing the assets left by Yin Susu, at least the Zhao family has begun to make up their minds, and Yin Susu's enemies are not dead. Qingqing's marriage over there is also a problem, but fortunately, there is still King Qi's father to worry about.
As for yourself, you can not care about money and business, or you can not have reputation and status, but you can't do without it.
It's just that she didn't want to complain about this kind of bitterness to Haitang, so she kept smiling, Haitang saw that she didn't answer, and there was no good way, so she sighed softly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly, this time, the queen mother is very angry, Her Royal Highness the princess was really almost killed, if it wasn't for Princess Pingyang teaching her that she should learn to swim." ”
"But with the current situation, I don't think I can help much." Lin Yu glanced at Begonia and said very directly, "I can't enter the palace at all now, and even if I do, I can't venture into that troubled water, my own troubles are enough." ”
Haitang hurriedly said, "I don't mean this, Niangniang didn't force it, it's just another thing, but I still want to test it to see if you can agree?" ”
Lin Yu looked at her, didn't speak, and motioned for Begonia to continue.
Haitang looked at Youxi, and said busily, "It's the eleventh prince and the thirteenth princess, there are some things, you know the way, and our mother doesn't want to hide it from you, this matter, Niangniang is really angry and shocked, plus the previous things, it is impossible to really swallow this breath." But the fighting in the palace is cruel, and no one dares to guarantee that anyone will be able to go smoothly, and if something happens again, the queen mother can no longer afford it. Therefore, the mother wanted to give the child out to a reliable person. ”
Saying that, Haitang's eyes were filled with infinite hope, looking at Lin Yu, Lin Yu also understood what she meant, "After all, your mother wants me to take care of the child for her?" It's unlikely that such a big child will disappear for no reason. ”
Haitang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Because of the special situation, our mother has already prepared a stand-in, and it is enough to replace it at this time, and now no one will really pay attention to the eleventh prince and the thirteenth princess." ”
The eleventh prince is just that, the current situation of the thirteenth princess, if a stand-in is prepared, wouldn't it mean that an innocent child was mutilated? Therefore, after Lin Yu heard about it, there was not much joy on his face, but he frowned slightly.
Begonia is mixed in the palace, and she is a confidant of Queen Liu, she can be sent to do this, so she is naturally very good at observing words and colors, seeing Lin Yu frowning, she knew that she didn't like it, and hurriedly changed her words, "I know that Lu Dao is also a little embarrassed about this matter, but I don't ask you, Niangniang really can't think of any proper people." ”
Lin Yu didn't listen to her, Xiaobai was even more direct, "Queen Liu's mother's family is the Liu family, and now the family is the queen's brother's brother and the princess's uncle." No matter how you look at it, you can't ask for us who are not relatives? What's more, strictly speaking, there are still some grudges between our family and the queen. ”
Haitang glanced at Lin Yu, who looked indifferent, and always felt that it was better for her to tell the truth, and after thinking about it in her heart, she still told the truth, "It's not that our mother hasn't thought about the Liu family's side, but the situation over there is complicated." Because the queen mother and the third prince have formed some enmity, and the third prince has already ascended the throne, she naturally suppresses her own brother. And there are some villains on the Liu family's side, and Grandpa Guo is now very troubled by the affairs of the family, and it is difficult to divide his energy. ”
"Oh? Does this have to be taken care of by Liu Guogong himself? Xiao Bai thought that Queen Liu was still angry in her heart, so she continued to taunt.
"To make you laugh, Guogong has a lot of things, and he won't take care of their diet and daily life, but he doesn't dare to guarantee that the other Liu family members won't notice anything and do something, this is what Niangniang is most worried about." Begonia sighed.
In other words, the Liu family has now been divided into two factions, and their opinions are not unanimous, and Liu Guogong can no longer control the situation, and even the safety of his niece is a little difficult to guarantee. For Lin Yu, this is not a good phenomenon, so he thought about it a little.
And when Haitang saw her like this, she thought she was going to refuse, so she was busy sitting with the most difficult efforts, "You just don't look at the queen's face, for the sake of the thirteenth princess, help her." ”
In Haitang's opinion, Lin Yu has a good relationship with the Thirteenth Princess, and it may be different to be able to impress her. (To be continued......)
