Chapter 434: A Taste
Qi You's decree this time has indeed disturbed the minds of too many people, the first to bear the brunt should belong to the Gongsun family, Concubine Xian has been cautious since Emperor Yong took over the queen's palace affairs for six years, steady and proper, even many ministers in front of the court are impressed with her, and the eldest prince is becoming more and more stable in the court, and everyone regards the Gongsun family as the most favorable heir to the throne of the prince.
But now there is a commotion, it seems that all of a sudden it has fallen from the nine clouds to hell, and there is a difference between clouds and mud, and the courtiers who clinged to the Gongsun family have also dispersed, after all, this matter will still affect the future of the eldest prince.
Although Gongsun Shangshu has not expressed his position, this does not mean that he is not anxious in his heart, especially since the eldest prince has been hit by this holy decree and has been decadent for a long time.
But these are things that Gongsun Clan, who is imprisoned in the cold palace as a sinner, can expect but can't accept, until now she can't accept the truth that she was deposed and imprisoned, she has endured it for more than ten years, and she has been treated like this for a few years, her heart is full of curses, but the most worried is her proud son Qi Huanzhen.
She knew that her current appearance would definitely affect him, because she was imprisoned and she couldn't know any news from the outside world at all, because the emperor gave a special explanation, and the Imperial Forest Army personally guarded her, even if she made the money, she couldn't hear any news, so she lived in fear for a few days, and people quickly lost weight.
The same deprecated Le Shi did not get much better, from the position of the fourth concubine of the first product to the Baolin of the sixth grade, and also lost the custody of the prince, this qiē is like returning to the original point, it seems that all efforts have been wasted, and the Le family has been shaking for several days, even if he sees the imperial doctor, he has not been able to alleviate it, this Le Shi is afraid that he has madness because he can't stand the blow, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and it is embarrassing for a generation of favorite concubines to fall into such a field.
However, Wei made an unexpected profit, and picked up a half-sized prince for nothing, which made the rest of the harem a little envious.
And the queen naturally couldn't be happy. is in this situation, the power of the palace has not fallen into her hands, and the emperor would rather hand over a concubine who has no experience in power than believe her again. The queen felt very uncomfortable, and she was depressed for a few days.
The queen's personal palace maid red note was a little worried and comforted: "Queen mother, why don't you go out for a walk with you, the peach blossoms in the yard are blooming, and you have been in the house for several days." Let's get some air outside. ”
Queen Liu lay on her side on the chaise longue and said in a low voice: "What to do when you go out, you have to listen to some crazy words, it's better to stay in the house." ”
"Queen Mother, even crazy words are all about Concubine De and Concubine Xian, what do you have to do? Don't you know that it's all over the womb these days? Red Notes.
"How can this have nothing to do with the palace, she has been temporarily acting for the palace for many years, and now she is imprisoned, but the power to hold the palace has fallen into the hands of the concubine, so it seems that the palace still has no good impression at all in the emperor." The queen sighed.
The red note was relieved: "Niangniang." You are really worried, isn't Concubine Xian also temporarily acting for palace affairs for all these years, look at what she ended up with, not only is she in prison, but even the eldest prince is also implicated, and now it is the concubine who replaces her, what will happen, don't forget that the phoenix seal has always been in the hands of the queen mother, as long as the phoenix seal is still there, the mother is not afraid of the day when she will not come out, and now the eldest prince is implicated, this is an excellent opportunity for the second prince. Why is the queen still so low?
Hongjian has been following the queen for more than 20 years, and she knows the queen's heart very clearly, so she can get to the point.
When the queen heard this, she was a little relaxed and said, "Can you find out what the eldest prince and Gongsun are doing?" ”
The red note sighed: "It's still the same, Lord Gongsun is worthy of being an old minister in the court." It's really calm, and it's still closed, and it's unusually low-key to see no one. ”
"Humph! He's just weighing who to protect," the queen snorted coldly.
"The slave maid thought that she naturally wanted to protect the eldest prince, after all, this virtuous concubine had been abolished as a concubine, and it was really difficult to turn over, and the eldest prince is still good now. This Gongsun family should not be stupid. Red Note speculated.
"Then it depends on the eldest prince's thoughts, whether it is self-protection or mother-protection, it all depends on the eldest prince's heart, but in any case, the eldest prince has been eliminated from the ranks of potential candidates for the prince, and now there are only the four princes around Wei'er and the concubine." The queen analyzed.
"Niangniang, the fourth prince is still young, and it will take time to compete with the second prince." Red Note thinks.
The queen shook her head and said: "The four princes are favored by the emperor at a young age, coupled with the favor of the concubine, the strength of the two elder brothers of the concubine in the court, the power of the four princes cannot be underestimated, and the emperor is in the prime of life, and there is time to cultivate the four princes into talents, and the four princes and the concubine are Huanwei's biggest opponents at present." ”
"Niangniang, if this is the case, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous for the second prince?" Red Note became worried.
"Yes, this is really what I am worried about, and now the emperor has put the concubine in charge of palace affairs, is that also a hint in disguise?" The queen worried.
"This ...... Isn't that bad, sis, so what's to be done? He asked.
"This matter is also a doubt in the heart of the palace, and Xuan Wei'er has to go into the palace to discuss it." The queen still has to listen to her son's opinion before making a decision, after all, the lessons of the past are in front of her.
The queen is also worried here, and Xibao's in Changxin Palace is also very tired, Rao is Xibao's brain is lively, this entire harem affairs are really beyond Xibao's bearing, especially when he first took over in the first few days, it can really be said that it is a mess, full of paste, fortunately, Xibao is born to be tricky, she was stunned to listen to the work reports of all the palace affairs leaders and checked a large number of palace affairs processing records, these geniuses were rough and rough, but it can be regarded as a smooth passage through such an extraordinary transition period.
On this day, Xi Bao only dealt with a few palace affairs and was about to squint for a while to rest, and this happy talk came again.
Xibao yawned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Huan Yan said with a decadent face: "Since the mother concubine took over the palace affairs, there are fewer and fewer times when this daughter can see the mother concubine." ”
Xibao knew that this was her daughter coquettish, so she smiled and said: "You are about to get married, and you will have less time to see your mother in the future, and it is good for you to get used to it in advance." ”
"Mother ......" Huanyan was a little helpless.
"Isn't it? You will get married in more than three months, and it will not be good for you to come back often if you get married, and the mother concubine is not wrong, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Jiang Hengkun and their family, right? Xibao said.
"Mother, even if I get married, I'm still your daughter, can't I go back to the palace to see my mother and father after I get married? How can there be such a reason! Huan Yan raised his eyebrows and said.
Xibao put down the fold in his hand and smiled: "Yes, even if you are married, you are still your mother's daughter." But if you look at a girl who gets married and still runs to her parents' house, aren't you afraid of others gossiping? ”
Huan Yan sat down in front of Xibao and muttered: "When have I ever been afraid of other people's gossip, really, this marriage is not for people to go home to see." The mother concubine is really ruthless. ”
Xibao smiled and said: "At the beginning, you resolutely wanted to marry Jiang Hengkun, I couldn't stop it, this will not be married yet, but the strange mother is ruthless, what is the reason?" ”
"Mother, I didn't mean that. I was just...... It's just that I can't bear it......" Huan knew that she was anxious during this time, so she had to throw herself into Xibao's arms and said coquettishly.
Xibao hugged Huanyan and smiled softly: "Silly girl, this man should get married, and the woman should get married, it is also fortunate that you and Jiang Hengkun can get along, although I am reluctant to be a concubine, but I can't stop your happiness." ”
"Then why does the mother still laugh at her daughter?" Joy does not follow the word.
"Silly girl, the mother knows that you are uncomfortable, this is a joke with you, the mother was younger than you when she got married. At that time, it was a holy decree in the palace that decided the fate of the mother concubine, and the time was very fast, so I didn't even have time to panic, so I married your father in such a daze, your anxiety, your reluctance I can understand, but you are much better than the mother concubine, at least you are sure in your heart, you are married to the person you like, isn't it much better than the mother concubine? Xibao comforted Huan Yan's bun.
"Mother, were you restless when you were preparing to get married?" Huan Yan asked.
"Absolutely. I didn't know anything about your father before I married him, but after the holy decree came down, your uncle popularized the information to me for a long time, and it wasn't until I married into the palace for half a year that I slowly digested it, and at that time it can be said that the future was bleak. Your father's temperament, likes and dislikes, and the background relationships of your father's other women were all slowly figured out later, and those days were really difficult, so why not be uneasy. Xibao recalled that when he entered the palace at the beginning of that year, the smoke of gunpowder dimmed.
"It's more to marry someone who is a complete stranger than to have a daughter, but a mother. Looking at the way your father spoils you now, I really can't imagine that you used to be so tormented. Huan Yan sighed.
Xibao smiled and said: "Actually, I won't tell you, my mother's previous thoughts are the same as your maternal grandfather and grandmother, just marry the son of a well-connected minister, the family is simpler, the mother concubine I don't require him to be prosperous, I just want him to treat me well, but I can make people, I reject the life of deceitful and deceitful the most, but God wants me to marry your father, which is difficult and unwilling, I think you can understand." ”
"Mother, I heard Uncle Wuwang say that when his father was still King Yong, he was a hot candidate for husband, and many girls from the family sharpened their heads and squeezed around their father, why are you still unwilling?" Huan Yan was puzzled, in her opinion, his father was the first great man in the world, even Jiang Hengkun was not as good as him, but the mother concubine was unwilling, which was strange.
Xibao Xu is chat and said to Huanyan: "Xu is what everyone wants is different, you know your mother and me, lazy and accustomed, I just want a simple kind of life, just like your grandfather and grandmother, simple but happy, I never wanted to get involved in the imperial power half a step, because I know that the things here are not what I want to experience, so I have always been very repulsed, and your father is the most powerful candidate for the throne as the prince of Yong, This is equivalent to stepping into this treacherous harem land, and I naturally don't want to. ”
"Does he know about the Emperor?" Huan Yan asked.
"A wise person like your father can naturally see it, but I also want to thank your father, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to see what I was thinking, if it weren't for his patience and tolerance, I wouldn't have two lovely children like you and Huanyue." Xi Bao remembered Qi You's long-term spoiling, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.
"My father is really good, especially if you treat you much better than us, I will say, my father is so good, how could you not want to, were you moved by your father's affection later?" Huan Yan began to gossip. (To be continued.) )
