Chapter 2: Once Became a Phoenix (2)
"Lord, what does the emperor mean by this?" A noblely dressed woman in a gorgeous brocade dress asked worriedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she is the mistress of the palace, Prince Gong, Fujin Wang Huan.
"What do you mean? If this king guesses correctly, it seems that this time the royal brother is really going to do it! ”
"Lord, what do you say?"
"Madam, have you heard some rumors about the Five Princes recently?"
"What the prince is asking about Concubine Yu wants to make a concubine for the five princes?"
"Exactly."
"What does that have to do with the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
"Madame, think about it, now the DPRK and China are divided into factions, and I am the only one who is neutral. Although the imperial brother explicitly forbade the ministers of the court to discuss the affairs of the crown prince, there were a few things that the courtiers did not understand. The eldest prince is the first queen, although the first queen has passed away, but the Liu family is still there, and now in the court, it can be regarded as a one-handed cover of the sky, although the royal brother intends to set up the five princes as the prince, but because of the Liu family, he has not made up his mind. This time, the five princes suddenly contracted a serious illness, and it is estimated that it has nothing to do with the Liu family and the eldest prince. The imperial brother was probably really enraged, so he wasn't ready to endure it anymore. If my guess is correct, the imperial brother wants to use the queen mother's birthday banquet to marry Rou'er and the five princes, so that we will naturally stand on the side of the five princes, and with the 500,000 elite soldiers left by the emperor in my hand, the Liu family will be afraid. ”
"So earlier, there were rumors in the palace that they were going to rejoice for the five princes. This is the emperor's general's calculation. No wonder, Galeries Lafayette has always advocated frugality, and his past birthdays were just to summon a few royal relatives to have a simple dinner. When was it so extravagant? It was only after listening to the prince's analysis of the concubine's body that he understood. However, with Rou'er's character, would she be willing to enter the palace? Even if she is willing, I am afraid that Concubine Yu will not have a good time. After all, ...... before"
"Well, yes. That's what the king fears. Rou'er's temperament is really not suitable for staying in the palace, where you need to be worried and intrigue all the time. Besides, even if the fifth prince can care about her and treat her as before, the relationship between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not easy to handle. This king is not worried about Concubine Yu's obstruction, after all, it is the emperor's order that cannot be disobeyed, but this king is worried that in the future, Rou'er will enter the palace, and she will make things difficult for Rou'er in every way. The king fears that Rou'er will be wronged by the friendship between our face and her five princes. ”
"Lord Wang, is there no other way? Now everything is our guess. Even if that were the case, would we just sit back and wait? ”
"Madam, do you know what this king is thinking now?"
Wang Wan was a little puzzled: "What? ”
"The king wondered how fortunate we were to have met each other twenty-five years ago. I've always been an idle prince, and I'm not interested in getting involved in the dispute over the throne, and you're just the daughter of a businessman, powerless. So for twenty-five years we have not been involved in the struggle for power. Before my father died, I asked my brother and I to swear to heaven in front of him: No matter what happens in the future, we will be brothers, friends and brothers, I will never covet the throne, and the emperor will never doubt my sincerity. The 500,000 elite soldiers left to me by my father are not only my protection but also the protection of my brother. If one day the emperor's country is threatened, I must take these 500,000 elite soldiers to support the emperor. ”
"If so, why should there be a marriage?"
"After so many years, I am still my idle prince, and all the major affairs in the court are thrown to the imperial brother, and he will probably hate me to death a long time ago. For so many years, he never forced me to do anything, this is the first time, and I think the last time. I think on the one hand, he wants to borrow the strength in my hands to fight against the Liu clan, and on the other hand, maybe he is still a little jealous of me in his heart, so he wants to use Rou'er to contain me and make me avoidable. Three years ago, if it weren't for the fact that Yi'er was still learning art, and the Queen Mother helped him out, now the sixth princess is your daughter-in-law, how can we still have these three years of peaceful life. ”
"Then it's better for the prince to ask the queen mother again this time......"
"This time is different, the Queen Mother will not agree."
"Why?"
"Madam, think about it, the Queen Mother was opposed to our adoption of Rou'er in the first place. In her heart, the royal blood is pure and noble, and it is absolutely not allowed to be mixed. Rou'er's origin is unknown, which is an eternal hurdle in her heart, so she doesn't like Rou'er, so how can she help her. ”
"But because of this, shouldn't she stop Rou'er from marrying into the royal family?"
"You'd be wrong. Although she doesn't like Rou'er, the fifth prince is her heart, and now it is a top priority to be happy for him. The royal brother will definitely understand her and be moved by affection. So when she knew that Rou'er was the most suitable candidate to marry the Fifth Prince now, she would not refuse. Maybe she still thinks that when the situation is stable, she can find a way to beat Rou'er into the cold palace from the beginning, and then find a woman who suits her heart and point it to the five princes, so wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone. ”
"If that's the case, how can Rou'er be embarrassed!"
"Alas, that's it, ma'am, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since you can't hide, you can only face it. Besides, I believe that no matter how well the Queen Mother's wishful thinking is played, it will only require the cooperation of the five princes and Rou'er. In my opinion, the fifth prince is not a merciless person, and Rou'er is not a lady who will go against the grain. Wait, the best is yet to come. Let's think about it now, when the dust settles, I will take you back to the mountains and forests, how about it? Now, let's go and rest early. With that, he hugged Wang Wan and walked to the inner room.
Wang Wan knew that he had made a decision, so he only smiled and nodded. But I still can't let go of Rou'er in my heart......
"Ma'am, when will they be back?"
"It should be these two days, two days ago, Ji'er asked people to come back with a message saying that Jinyun contracted a cold on the way back, so he delayed his return for some time."
"Hmm. That's the best, when he comes back, we'll discuss Rou'er's entry into the palace again. If this matter is a foregone conclusion, then the lady will have to make up for Rou'er's court etiquette before performing in front of the palace. ”
"Don't worry, the concubine understands."
