Chapter 420: Fancies
Zhen Pingle hopes that the princess can tell her younger brother more about her mother, and let her listen to it too. Only the step-princess is the closest person to Shen Muhuai, and she will never find a second person who can know more about Shen Muhuai.
In the past, Zhen Pingle couldn't think about this kind of thing, but now that she can think about it, she doesn't want to just think about it, but hopes to achieve what she wants. Everything is man-made, Zhen Pingle hopes that she will be tolerant of others, and others will be more tolerant of her, without permanent harm, if you can, it is best for everyone to ignore past suspicions, even if you can't be a family, it is also excellent to be able to say two words without being salty when you meet.
Among them, Zhen Pingdan is the most critical person.
The only question now is, where should I send Zhen Pingdan?
Zhen Pingle's thoughts drifted away, and he was suddenly pulled back because of Zhen Pingdan's matter. After thinking about it, she felt that sending Zhen Pingdan away was not the best way, but the New Year is approaching, and the New Year is spring, and the palace draft is about to start, if she can't make up her mind now, then it will inevitably delay things.
Almost at the same time that Zhen Pingle was troubled, the princess handed a message to Zhen Pingle again, before entering the palace at the beginning of the year, she planned to take Zhen Pingdan to the Jokhang Temple to pray for incense, and asked Zhen Pingle if he wanted to go together. Jokhang Temple is a royal temple, has always been admired by the royal family and the people, although the previous dynasty has not opened the Jokhang Temple to the people, but to the time of Chengping, the emperor vigorously admired Buddhism, so it also made fun of the door, not only so that the sincere people can also see the style of the royal temple, and every emperor will go to the Jokhang Temple every year to worship the Buddha for three days, the time is not certain when, but it has not changed in nearly a hundred years.
Although the current emperor is still young, but the old emperor left the Buddha, the new emperor has not abolished, succeeded to the throne for three years, all respected the old system, no matter how busy the year was, will always find time to go to the Jokhang Temple. Zhen Ping'an met the new emperor in the backyard of the Jokhang Temple, and later reunited in the market, the new emperor thought that this was the fate of him and Zhen Ping'an. In the past three years, every time he went to the Jokhang Temple to worship the Buddha, Zhen Ping'an would accompany him on the side of the holy car, which can be described as quite an honor.
Zhen Pingle thought of the news sent by the princess, this time, I am afraid that the matter was not brought up by the princess on her own initiative, it is very likely that Prime Minister Xie Cheng had planned it a long time ago. If the emperor wants to go to the Jokhang Temple in the spring, he will definitely follow the ministers of the court, as well as the concubines who are close to him, and now the emperor has no concubines, when he was still the prince, the emperor only had two concubines, and the concubines did not give birth to a little prince, and now the harem is empty, and only needs to be filled by newcomers.
I heard Zhen Ping'an say that the emperor is a very gentle person, he usually doesn't lose his temper, and he always has a smile on his face, even if Zhen Pingle has never seen the emperor, but he doesn't believe it at all, the person who can sit in that position will really be as charitable as Zhen Ping'an said, at least on the surface, the more harmless people and animals, maybe the more twists and turns in his heart, Zhen Pingle didn't believe that the emperor would be a soft-hearted person at all. If Prime Minister Xie has the ability to know that the emperor will go to the Jokhang Temple to worship the Buddha in the spring, and Prime Minister Xie Cheng thinks that the draft after the spring can be successful, then Prime Minister Xie will definitely make some preparations.
The concubines in the palace, if they are just ordinary Zhaoyi, concubines and the like, do not need to be sent to the emperor to ask in person, and now there is the emperor's biological mother in the harem, as long as the concubine recognizes the concubine, then the draft can be done. Coincidentally, the concubine Niangniang had a holiday with the Xie family when she was young, because of the dispute between the crown prince, the concubine Niangniang and the Xie family fought to the death, and now the Xie family still wants to let their granddaughter enter the palace as the queen, how can the concubine Niangniang allow it. Therefore, Prime Minister Xie Cheng must not hand over Zhen Pingdan's future to the hands of the concubine, and when the time comes, not only will this move not be able to play, but it is very likely that it will be counterattacked.
The biggest possibility for Prime Minister Xie is that he will let Zhen Pingdan pass the eyes of the emperor, as long as the emperor personally approves and identifies Zhen Pingdan as the future queen, then no matter how the concubine wants to obstruct it, as long as Prime Minister Xie grasps the sentence "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", he can completely suppress the concubine. After all, the queen is the mother of a country, if the concubine Niangniang does not want to recognize the person selected by the emperor because of her own dislike, then it will make the emperor embarrassed, and the emperor is not a foolish person, of course he knows that everything must be focused on state affairs, Prime Minister Xie is now covering the sky with one hand, and wants the emperor to canonize Zhen Pingdan as the queen's mother, even if it is forced, Prime Minister Xie also has this ability, the key is whether the emperor can take a fancy to Zhen Pingdan.
In Prime Minister Xie's heart, he is just missing a chance, a chance to let Zhen Pingdan and the emperor meet, in the eyes of Prime Minister Xie, not to mention whether Zhen Pingdan is the best candidate to be the queen, with Zhen Pingdan's intelligence, the emperor, who has always liked to appoint talents, will definitely be attracted by Zhen Pingdan. Prime Minister Xie Cheng's plan is very thoughtful, he knows very well what the emperor likes and what he needs, as long as he likes it, coupled with the appropriate thrust, Zhen Pingdan can't do it without entering the emperor's eyes, but Zhen Pingdan's surname is Zhen, and he can't enter the palace under normal circumstances, Zhen Pingdan is not the Xie family, and it's just the Zhen family, Prime Minister Xie can take a person surnamed Xie to participate in the palace banquet, but he can't take a person with a foreign surname into the palace casually, it is not a folk flower viewing party, not a place where you can be presumptuous if you have status, Prime Minister Xie has always been very cautious, and he will never let others grab his handle.
At first, Prime Minister Xie also thought about choosing the daughter of the Xie family to enter the palace to be a chess piece, but since there was a Xie Qinghe, the Xie family no longer has a smart woman. The emperor is not a straw bag, what kind of woman can't get it, if it's just an ordinary person, and it's the daughter of the Xie family who has a holiday with the concubine, the emperor doesn't like ordinary women, and he won't go against the concubine for an ordinary person, so why is the emperor willing to crown the daughter of the Xie family as the queen? Prime Minister Xie also noticed Zhen Pingdan after Zhen Pingdan lived in Xie's house, because of Xie Qinghe's relationship.
Sure enough, Xie Qinghe's daughter is most like Xie Qinghe, and even the simplicity and enthusiasm of her youth are so similar to Xie Qinghe back then, just like a person. (To be continued.) )
