The more the concubine listened, the more she frowned.

"That Fang family...... But that, the filial son that His Majesty once boasted about during the Qionglin banquet? The concubine asked.

Liu Tong bowed: "There has been such a thing, but ......" Liu Tong said curiously: "Niangniang actually knows such a person?" ”

The concubine shook her head and said, "You don't know, Your Majesty used to admire him very much, and after the imperial examination was released, he was named a five-rank official." His Majesty originally wanted to see his ability to be an official, and if it was to his liking, maybe he would marry him a princess of the right age. ”

Liu Tongton was surprised.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Marquis An Yuan was one step ahead, and the Fang family kid became his son-in-law." The concubine sighed and said: "Your Majesty said later, looking at the Fang family's boy who is dignified and extremely filial, in fact, he is just a person who is eager to climb up, and he is overwhelmed by it. So to this day, he is still a five-rank official, and His Majesty does not have any idea of reusing him. Now that I hear you talk about it, it's a good thing that I didn't marry the princess. ”

When Liu Tong heard this, he only felt that the world was really impermanent, and the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable.

If Fang Shuozhang knew that he could have been the emperor's son-in-law, I don't know if he would sigh for a mistake?

"If you fancy that woman, your majesty probably doesn't agree to this matter."

The concubine said bluntly: "It's okay to be a concubine, but this is the same woman who has left...... How to match you? ”

"Niangniang, the son-in-law is also a widower, isn't he?" Liu Tong said softly: "What's more, Erchen still carries the reputation of his wife." ”

"Little Jiu!" The concubine suddenly shouted, her eyes full of sadness.

The concubine's expression also paused for a moment, and she was a little in a trance.

Liu Tong sighed, smiled at the concubine soothingly, and said to the concubine: "Niangniang, the son doesn't ask to marry any noble girl, he just wants a confidant." Niangniang will help her son! ”

The concubine lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, but she still shook her head: "Nine Emperor Princes, I am not necessarily sure about this matter. If I hadn't done you this favor, I'm afraid it would have caused some results that you didn't want to see, and maybe you'd blame me in turn......"

The concubine said softly: "Once you tell Your Majesty about this, Your Majesty will learn that you have taken a fancy to a divorced concubine, not only may not agree to this marriage, but may also point out another marriage to you in a short period of time in order to dispel your thoughts." Wouldn't you gain more than you gained? ”

Liu Tong looked at the concubine for a while, and said softly: "If the mother is willing to work hard to help her son, presumably the father will not object...... After all, the son is just a dispensable prince to his father, and the father will not care too much about the marriage of the son. ”

"What are you talking about?" The concubine frowned and reprimanded: "It's okay to say two words in front of me, if it falls into the ears of others, how many incidents will it cause?" ”

The concubine's face was also a little bad, and she was holding a handkerchief in her hand.

Liu Tong lowered his head slightly and was silent, the concubine was a little angry because of Liu Tong's words, and her tone was a little tougher, and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, and there is no hurry." ”

"Erchen is in a hurry." Liu Tong said softly: "If I miss this good time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my wish in the future." ”

The concubine frowned, and was about to speak, but she heard Liu Tong say to the concubine: "Can you ask the concubine to avoid it for the time being, the son and the concubine have secret matters to discuss." ”

The concubine was surprised, and then understood that maybe Liu Tong wanted to negotiate conditions with the concubine, and it was inconvenient for her to listen.

Although she complained a little, the concubine still nodded, got up and avoided it.

Seeing Liu Tong's solemn expression, the concubine also raised her hand and waved away the people who were waiting in the palace.

"What do the Nine Emperor Princes have to say?" The concubine asked.

saw Liu Tong lift his hem and kneel straight in front of the concubine.

"Niangniang," Liu Tong's voice was very low, but he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Erchen wants to set the marriage within a month when the prince is grounded, not for anything else, just because he doesn't want his marriage to be manipulated by the prince again." ”

The surprised expression on the concubine's face flashed, and she coughed and said, "Where are you talking about this?" How did the prince manipulate your marriage? ”

Liu Tong sneered: "Niangniang should know that what Erchen said is not a lie. ”

He looked up at the concubine: "Back then, the prince was a matchmaker and asked his son to marry the daughter of the Mo family, although the father was happy that he loved and cared about his brother, but he still asked the mother to personally inquire about the Mo family's daughter. If there is no mother to cover up, how can the daughter of the Mo family enter the prince's mansion when she gets married? How could the concubine of the Mo family assume the identity of a concubine and marry into my prince's mansion? ”

With Liu Tong's words, the concubine sat up straighter and straighter, her shoulders slightly shrunk, and she looked defensive.

"Although Niangniang is now the one with the highest rank among the father's concubines, because she was born in the people, she actually has no power in her own family. When my father was alive, it was okay, if one day my father was in the sky and the prince succeeded to the throne, wouldn't my mother have to look at the prince's face? So Niangniang covered up the matter for the prince, and although the sons were dissatisfied, they would not resent Niangniang because of this. ”

Liu Tong said this and glanced at the concubine: "But this doesn't mean that Erchen has been calculated once, and he can tolerate being calculated a second time." ”

Liu Tong kowtowed to the concubine and said solemnly: "Marriage must be done with the nod of my father." Erchen thought about it, and only the mother could help Erchen with this. ”

The concubine didn't speak, and when Liu Tong finished speaking, she squinted her eyes and shot at Liu Tong directly: "Are you threatening the palace?" If this palace doesn't help you, do you want to go to His Majesty and turn this matter out? ”

Listening to the meaning of the concubine's words, she did not deny what Liu Tong said back then.

Liu Tong knew that the concubine also understood the strangeness of this, and he noticed it when he went to the palace to greet the concubine after the wedding.

Because Mo's leg was injured at that time, it was inconvenient to travel, so Liu Tong went alone for Xie En and other things.

When she saw the concubine at that time, the concubine looked at him with a strange expression.

It's easy to say pity, but what's the point of guilt?

The concubine also asked a lot about Mo's family, and asked Liu Tong if he was dissatisfied with Mo's man. After receiving Liu Tong's affirmative answer, she seemed to be relieved.

Liu Tong didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, until Mo confessed to him before he died, and later he secretly investigated it himself, and then he felt that it was not so easy to hide this matter if he really wanted to hide it.

The concubine is also an important part there.

In tandem, the concubine knew the inside story of the matter, and it was logical that she secretly covered it up for the prince.

At this time, the concubine asked Liu Tong like this, firstly, she was weak-hearted, and secondly, she was a little annoyed and angry.

Even the "I", which has always been called in an easy-going manner, has been replaced by the majestic "Hongu".

Liu Tong's answer is acquiescence.

He didn't say a word, just knelt upright, waiting for the concubine's answer.

The concubine's question was also very inward-looking.

She clearly knew that if the Nine Emperor Princes really revealed this matter in front of His Majesty, then she would definitely not be able to hide it.

Everyone said that His Majesty was old, but she, who had been with him for more than 20 or 30 years, clearly knew that His Majesty was not confused, but because he was older, his heart was softer.

And she, who has been up and down in the palace for more than 20 years, can't afford to lose.
