Chapter Seventy-One: Shock
Today's King Rui is the most inconspicuous of the emperor's adult princes, the biological mother is Concubine Lian Niangniang, who was originally a female official around the imperial concubine, seeing that the day is about to be released, but I didn't expect to be fortunate by the drunken emperor, and only once I was pregnant, and after giving birth to the emperor's sixth son, I was promoted to the concubine position, at first the emperor read that she gave birth to a son and went a few times, but every time the lotus concubine Niangniang was faint, and she didn't go again after a long time.
Concubine Lian was originally drafted into the palace, and her father was just a county order in Jiangnan. In the draft army of beautiful women, he can only be regarded as mediocre, because he had no background and no appearance, so he was not selected into the emperor's harem, but was left to be a palace maid, and later because of his diligence and willingness to work step by step to become the consul of the clothing bureau, until he became a female official with grade in the imperial concubine's palace.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's drunkenness ended her dream of going out of the palace to reunite with her family, although she gave birth to a son, it was also faint, according to the regulations of the Great Xia Dynasty, the harem concubines and above were qualified to take their own children with them to raise, but the lotus concubine shirked her body and threw the six princes directly in the **** mansion to be taken care of by the grandmothers, so the six emperors have not been close to their biological mothers.
At the age of eighteen, he was crowned King Rui by the emperor, and he was given a small house in the east of the city, which seemed to be a meal compared to the disciples of several other princes. But the six princes have never had any complaints, and it should be said that even if there are complaints, no one will listen.
There is another reason why everyone is not close to him, that is, the two wives of this prince died in childbirth when they gave birth, and they both left their sons. Therefore, all kinds of reasons are added together, and King Rui's marriage has become a big problem.
Now twenty-four years old, although he is a prince, but looking at the entire capital, there is no high-ranking family who is willing to marry his daughter to such a person who is not favored, motherly, and has a wife. And as the emperor's own son, it is impossible to marry a low-status or a concubine, so he has been hanging there.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the emperor personally pointed out this marriage. Not to mention that the age difference between the two is nine years old, it's just Xie Ping's scandal a while ago, and the driver in Beijing can even say a few words, but the reason for this is something that ordinary people can't guess.
Now, Xie Zhong is sitting in his father's study and talking about it.
"What the hell is Hong Hai going to do? Lord Rui has always been a loner and has never been involved in any disputes, what are they pulling him in for? Xie Yuan said as he clasped the table with his hand.
The son couldn't guess it, just like the last time he found out that Gao Yang went to the northwest purely because he fell in love with Tongzhi's daughter, he snatched it halfway and tossed it to death. Judging from the results of inquiries from all sides, it was really not arranged by Xie Hai in advance, it was just a coincidence. "Gao Yang is the younger brother of Princess Jing.
"Now King Jing's move is really incomprehensible, giving a famous Xie Ping to King Rui, isn't this a slap in the face of King Rui? Sometimes the son really can't believe that King Rui is not the emperor's own son, how can he allow the people below to insult him so much. β
"What do you say, the meaning of the saint is also what you can say." Xie Yuan heard his son say this, raised his eyelids, and said sharply.
Xie Zhong also felt that his words were a bit too much, so he stopped squeaking.
"I think there are two reasons for this. One is that King Jing is beating King Rui, although King Rui is an unpopular prince, but as you said, he is also the emperor's son, if King Jing really thinks of that position, he can't ...... all his brothers" Xie Yuan made a cutting motion with his hand.
Therefore, he needs someone to stand up and recognize him at a critical moment, and this person is undoubtedly the best for Ruiwang. Another reason is that King Rui must have made some moves that touched King Jing's interests, and King Jing wanted to take revenge back, so he asked the queen to secretly pick Sister Ping for King Rui. β
"Dad, do you mean that King Rui leaned towards King Duan?"
"It's hard to say, after all, with the strength of King Rui, only by relying on one can he protect himself in this future war. While you sent secret messages to your second and third uncles, you continued to stare at Hong Hai and King Rui. We had never paid attention to Ruiwang before, and it seems that we were careless. β
"Yes, son, I'll do it." Xie Yuan watched his son cross the bridge and walk out, turned to the corner and said, "Qi Bo, this day is going to change." β
The old servant who poured tea for them that day walked out slowly, "It's long overdue for a change." β
"What do you think we should do?"
"If the appearance of the sky that my master saw twenty years ago is not unexpected, now the wolf array has begun to move."
"What do you say? This time. Duan Wang and King Jing have not activated the wolf evil array after so many years of action, how can it be ...... at this time Is it ......?"
The old servant nodded, "It won't hurt to ask Zhiyuan to get closer to him." β
At this time, Mrs. Huai'en Houfu also looked at her husband in disbelief. Xie Qing was overjoyed.
"I really didn't expect Sister Ping to have such a humiliating thing and get such a marriage. Haha, think about how much face it is for me to be the prince's Taishan, and it will be more face-saving to go out in the future. β
"Master, but the concubine heard that King Narui is 24 years old this year, and the first two princesses were born in childbirth, so he is a wife."
"So what, it's better to be killed by the prince than to drag the whole family to death, it's not that you didn't understand what your father meant that day, if you don't have this step, Sister Ping will either go to the nunnery, or it will be a white silk, is this what you want to see?" Xie Qing looked at his wife impatiently.
"I sue you, it's okay for you to raise Sister Ping with such a temperament in Suo Rili, but you have to be smart in her marriage, don't screw your father again, otherwise don't blame me for ignoring the love between husband and wife."
"By the way, also, because Sister Ping's wedding date is in a hurry, I specially went to ask my father, the dowry is still up to you, don't lie there day by day, even my mother's invitation is not a day." After saying that, he walked out.
Wang watched her husband go out, hated in her heart, and since she kicked herself, she has never appeared again, not even a word of concern. I wanted to go and ask for peace, but I can't help it now, and my chest hurts when I use it too much. But after all, it is a daughter who marries, and no matter how she marries, she must take care of it, which is the will of the emperor himself.
Xie Ping stayed in the house without saying a word since she knew that she was going to marry a man she had never met who was nine years older than her and had two dead wives. Although Xie Changfeng lifted her grounding since the marriage decree came down, she still didn't go anywhere.
Sitting in the room like this every day, she didn't know how it could be like this, as soon as she closed her eyes, she was greeted by the smile of a handsome young man dressed in white. It's completely different from what I thought. No, no, she doesn't want to marry such a man, that man is a wife, she doesn't want to be killed by him, don't.
Xie Ping hurriedly got off the ground when she thought of this, took out a piece of paper from the table, picked up the pen and wrote it quickly, and after finding an envelope and sealing it, she took it and circulated it in the room, let it be passed on, seeing that the divorce period was more than a month and a half away, and she couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, the girl came to report that Miss Four came to see her, and Xie Xuan was the fourth among the girls in Huai'en Houfu. Xie Ping heard the inspiration, stood at the door and welcomed Sister Xuan in very warmly. For Xie Ping's enthusiasm, Xie Xuan is obviously not adaptable, although the two are young ladies in two rooms, but because they are concubines, Xie Ping has never been waiting to see herself, no matter how many people there are, as long as she is unhappy, she will scold a few words, and never take into account her feelings.
After the two of them sat down, Xie Xuan made it clear what he meant. It turned out that although Xie Ping had caused such a big disaster, it was also the joy of the Gu family to be able to marry King Rui. Therefore, he begged Huai Enhou to hold a flower party for Xie Ping, and let Xie Ping show a positive image, so that he could come out and walk around in the future. Second, among the people who have come, you can explore the meaning of the major clans in Beijing.
Xie Xuan specially took some jewelry drawings and clothes materials for Xie Ping, which Xie Ping selected, and went to the silver building to help her set it, but Xie Changfeng still didn't worry about letting this granddaughter out.
Xie Ping pretended to choose a few, and quickly stuffed the letter into Xie Xuan's sleeve while the girls weren't paying attention, "Good sister, be sure to help your sister pass it out, if your wish comes true, you will be rewarded as a cow and a horse in the next life." β
Xie Xuan looked incredulous, and just wanted to speak, Xie Ping said in a loud voice, "Then that's it, my sister can just watch it, I'm going to rest." β
Xie Xuan had no choice but to walk out, the letter in her sleeve seemed to weigh a thousand gold, what should I do? This Xie Ping is really a person who doesn't know death, can't she see that Hong Zhe doesn't have any thoughts about her, and besides, there is a county lord's daughter-in-law, how can she be fascinated by this kind of Cheng dΓΉ. On weekdays, I am proud of myself, and I am just sneering. Now that he is implicated by him again, he is 16 years old this year, and no one has come to propose marriage. The mother-in-law doesn't care at all, and the aunt is one of the father's many concubines, and she is not shameless in front of the Gu family.
Xie Xuan pinched the letter in his sleeve, maybe this was an opportunity for herself.
