Chapter 145: Conflict
"Oops! Concubine Chen is really blessed, look, the four princes are really carved out of the same mold as the emperor, and they will definitely be for the king in the future. ”
Wu Shuyi is really a little envious, it is not easy to be satisfied when people have more things, although it looks good to have three princesses, but the princess can't inherit the throne.
Concubine Chen, Concubine Jingxian and the queen all have their own sons under their knees, although she can also be taken out of the palace to retire in the future, she has nothing to do with the most expensive position.
Angel shook her head and smiled, "I don't expect this little thing, I will be the king in the future, I just hope that he can grow up safely, and this palace will be content." The third princess showed off her wisdom, and listened to the princess's wife say that the princess's piano skills have made a lot of progress recently! ”
Wu Shuyi's smile was particularly lost, caressing the other party's blank little face with pity, and the corners of her mouth were dyed with a little bitterness and helplessness.
"This child's piano sound can only barely be regarded as on the stage, the sixth princess and the seventh princess are much higher than this child at a young age, where can they be regarded as outstanding, as long as they don't embarrass me outside, it will be considered to give me face."
Angel frowned, the sixth princess and the seventh princess are the daughters of the queen and Concubine Jingxian, the two have no children in their lives, they are particularly doting on their daughters, and they have great hopes, they are too strict with their daughters, and under the contradictions, they have shaped the irritable personalities of the two children.
The eldest princess is better, she is the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson Yuanhong, she has been in front of the eldest grandson Yuanhong for the longest time, the emperor will not be partial, the fifth princess Xueyu is cute, and the preference of the eldest grandson Yuanhong, who has always been deep, will be more restrained in this matter.
The identity of the second princess and the third princess is the most embarrassing, there is no biological mother, and the status of the adoptive mother is also to the point, and from time to time she is embarrassed by the sixth princess and the seventh princess, and it is said that she almost dare not go to the study to study.
"Today, it's the queen's autumn banquet, let's go in!"
Angel smiled faintly, waved her sleeves, and let people continue to move forward, ignoring the so-called 'hardship' of Wu Shuyi.
Speaking ill of the other party at the door of someone else's house is an inauthentic behavior, and it may also be passed on to the queen's ears, which is like sending her own handle to the queen's hands, giving her the opportunity to restrain herself.
Wu Shuyi looked at the gorgeous steps in the distance, and touched the third princess's cheek with pity, maybe she was a little dissatisfied, but fortunately, her daughter was still by her side.
Angel arrived with the four princes, and did not bring much surprise to the concubines who participated in the autumn banquet, looking at it, Concubine Ran took the eldest princess, Wen Shunyi took the second princess, Qin Xiuyuan took the fifth princess, and Liang Chongyuan sat next to a well-behaved and obedient third prince with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.
The eldest grandson Yuening shook her biological mother's hand, and said a little uncomfortably, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with the third brother?" Laugh so fake! ”
Children are always the most sensitive, the third prince is already four years old, the royal children are precocious, and the children who are not concerned are even more precocious, the three princes give people the feeling that they are always gentle as jade, as the saying goes, a gentleman is like jade, but Angel and his son don't like this feeling very much, this kind of person is very fake.
Angel picked up her soft body, and said in a voice that could be heard by only two people, "I'm afraid that your third brother has something on his mind!" ”
Leaned on Concubine Ran and sat down, and threw the little guy to her eldest sister, all of whom were children, and they had a companion with each other, and the banquet was generally very boring, Angel was really afraid that this little guy would not be able to sit still.
At this banquet, the queen only said some decent words from beginning to end, and then sent the tribute is autumn crab and rewarded everyone to taste.
Angel tasted the fresh and lightly sweet crab roe, the fatty crab paste, and the delicious crab meat, which was really an indescribable taste of happiness.
Concubine Jingxian stabbed Angel, she was not interested in the queen's reward at all, but she was very excited about what happened next.
Angel raised her eyebrows, she was enjoying it, she was disturbed, and she was still a little displeased, "How is Concubine Jingxian?" But autumn crabs don't suit your appetite? ”
Concubine Jingxian shook her veil, "How can this little thing here meet my appetite, isn't it that Concubine Chen covets this little thing here from the queen!?" ”
"You're here to find fault?" Angel raised her eyebrows in displeasure, this woman's brain, which line is wrong.
"I don't have this leisure, haven't you noticed these unfamiliar faces below?" ”
After Angel listened, she turned around, this banquet was very special, in addition to a lot of concubines present, there were also many strange women, almost all of them were girls in their twenties, and they were careful to serve by the side of some concubines.
"See, what's the matter with me?"
"Why is it none of your business!" Concubine Jingxian hates that iron is not steel, and I don't know what else she has to take out in addition to giving birth, "These women are all going to be sent to each prince." ”
"I know!"
Angel was a little impatient, Concubine Jingxian and her today can be said to be a rare soft voice, but this makes her feel even more uncomfortable.
These women are all to be given to the princes, and she knows this, she heard the rumor earlier that the queen wants to choose concubines for several princes.
That draft was for the concubines, although there were also people who gave it to the princes as concubines, but they were all some uncles, and several of the emperor's brothers did not have some serious side concubines and concubines, this time the queen was so fanfare, it must be for those princes, but this qiē has a half-dime relationship with her!
"You know, you're still sitting so securely?" Concubine Jingxian's eyes widened, and she looked at Angel in disbelief, feeling as if she had seen a ghost.
Angel directly threw a hygienic eye at the other party, for this kind of thing, it can be said that she has no interest in it at all, since ancient times, the marriage of her daughter's family has been linked to the interests of wealthy nobles.
The prince chooses concubines and concubines, and the major families have long stretched their necks and waited, and the most important mission of the woman in ** is to operate in the dark and link these interests.
Angel is different from others, the An family is often dispensable for power, An Ruozhi has long been angry with Angel, you just like it.
Such an answer made Angel listen to the black lines on her head, just call it if you like it, the daughters of various families seem to have become daughters' goods in the eyes of their own fathers, as long as their daughters like it.
Concubine Jingxian gritted her teeth, she didn't know what the difference between Angel and her own essence was, a woman without family baggage was often more able to get the emperor's favor.
"I want you to join forces with me, if you help me this time, I will try my best to help you in your brother's marriage!"
The two sons of the An family should have been married a long time ago, the prince of the An family has already given birth to two sons-in-law with the princess, and the girl who was in the room back then was also promoted to the side lady, and gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus like Angel, and the daughter is still the eldest daughter of An Yeting.
The second master of the An family, no one can control it, the woman who wants to marry him can almost line up from the gate of the palace to the outside of the city, and the emperor also intends to give him a marriage, but he is all stirred up, and over time, the eldest grandson Yuanhong is not willing to be an old man, and he is left to fend for himself.
But there are several other sons in the An family, the third son and the fourth son are about to turn twenty, and they have not yet married a wife.
An family is a wealthy family, and he is not afraid that his son will not be able to get a wife, but the woman is not up or down, but it really costs people's lives, besides, the son of the An family is not a concubine in the end, and not many people are willing to marry a concubine.
A year ago, it was the time when the previous dynasty was turbulent, and if you want to get married, I am afraid that you have to see clearly whether the position you are standing in is appropriate, come and go, and delay the marriage.
Now, it has long been impossible to delay any longer, and this banquet is an excellent time, and Concubine Jingxian doesn't believe that Angel will not be moved.
Angel is really tempted, in addition to Ye's daughter, she and the other sisters in the family also get along well, the marriage of the two brothers, she naturally has to pay attention to it, but with the cooperation of Concubine Jingxian, Angel doesn't feel at ease.
"These are all concubines for the princes, my brother, no matter how much they are behind, I'm afraid I can't afford it!"
If you want it, it's more, it's going to provoke the resentment of the royal family, and the impeachment chapter will be able to fill the Qianqing Palace of the eldest grandson Yuanhong tomorrow.
Concubine Jingxian was a little disdainful of Angel's ignorance, "How can there be such a simple thing, if you like it, you can go back to the emperor first to ask for the holy decree, the marriage is not said to be concluded, in the end, these people are sent to those princes, and they still have to play the emperor." After these wealthy families, they will choose to marry each other during this time period, and you are not the only one, so you don't need to worry. ”
Since there is no need to worry, it is even more careless, "Then why should I help you?" It's thankless to offend the queen, and it makes Her Majesty jealous of me, I don't want that kind of day. ”
Concubine Jingxian gritted her teeth angrily, the two of them were constantly fighting with each other here, there was really no meaning, Concubine Jingxian thought she was a cultured woman, and she didn't want to scold Angel shrews here.
"This time, I said that I was choosing a concubine for the prince, but in the end, only five women would be selected, and in the end, only one person could be selected."
Angel was stunned for a moment, and looked at Concubine Jingxian differently, what is this? At best, it's a side concubine, and if it doesn't sound good, it's a concubine's room, but why is it so strict? Do you have to go through layers of deletions?
Angel's reaction may have satisfied Concubine Jingxian, and she tilted her head arrogantly, "Maybe you don't know the inside story of this, although the An family has already received the news, I guess I won't say anything more to you." This time, it is indeed a concubine for the prince, and she is also a side concubine, but the identity of the prince is also special, not the prince of his country, but a prince of the Ji country. ”
Ji country, a country with a special geographical location, after passing through the grassland, is the territory of Ji country, it is the closest ancient civilization to Da Yu, has a long history.
"Ji Guo? The prince of Ji Kingdom? Why? Choosing a concubine? Majesty Xià wants to marry Ji Guo? Angel immediately pointed out the key to this, and the eldest grandson Yuanhong probably had plans to marry this country.
The most puzzling thing is that Yu Guo and Ji Guo are both capital countries of equal status, since the eldest grandson Yuanhong intends to marry the other party's prince, he should fancy the name of the concubine, so he is so popular and conceals the court, why is it a side concubine?
"The prince of Ji Guo this time is really different from ordinary princes, even the emperor of Ji Guo is extremely jealous of this person!"
Angel smiled disdainfully, "Then this prince, I'm afraid that he won't live long, and he is actually jealous of his own father, what a pitiful person." ”
The feudal society is like this, people always have a blind respect for the emperor, unless it is really your emperor's ability is too weak, it is possible to be replaced.
As a parent, his ability is stronger than that of his father, and he is still a little uncontrollable, and the emperor of Ji State must be quick to deal with that prince.
"Concubine Chen, this may be a little bit ignorant!" Concubine Ran also intervened appropriately, she was already at odds with Concubine Jingxian, and she didn't want Angel to help Concubine Jingxian, "If it was an ordinary prince, the king of the Ji Kingdom, he would have done it a long time ago, but the other party is Ji Jinghong, the king of Yan." Before the age of ten, he was stupid and stupid, and a serious illness made his condition better. Moreover, after that, he could often settle the country in the court, and he also studied the welfare system of soldiers, and the whole army did everything about him. Joined the army at the age of fifteen, more than 60 battles before and after, never defeated, Ji Guo regarded him as the god of war, if there was no him, Ji Guo was afraid that there would be a crisis of annexation, no matter how unpleasant the old emperor was, he didn't dare to joke about the country. ”
Concubine Jingxian snorted coldly, she didn't like this Concubine Ran, she hated it very much, she relied on herself to rely on Concubine Chen, and fought against her everywhere, sooner or later, she would let her know how powerful she was.
"Concubine Ran, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"
Concubine Ran pursed her lips without caring at all, Concubine Jingxian was like a paper tiger, in the past, she was afraid of Concubine Jingxian, but now in the situation, I still think that she is a subservient to this woman, it's a dream!
"Concubine Jingxian still takes care of her mouth first, lest she will not be able to do it next time, so she will start to let go of big words, beware of the wind flashing her tongue. Concubine Chen doesn't need to join forces with you, it's better not to meddle with rats there! ”
"You...... You are so bold, you little Concubine Ran, you dare to do this to this palace! ”
"Oh, I'm so scared!" Concubine Ran pretended to be worried and patted her chest, and glanced at the other party fiercely, "I am a little Concubine Ran, but Concubine Jing Xian, you listen to Concubine Xian, you are the same, just a concubine." It's just a little taller than me, even if you give birth to a daughter, you are also a position at the end of the four concubines! ”
How fiercely Concubine Jingxian fought with the queen at the beginning, they were old people who entered the palace early, and they were reluctant to recall, and the moment of memory was always endless white bones and blood, accompanied by the haze of despair, and the despair of never seeing the light of day.
The child has always been a bargaining chip for the two to compete for fame and fortune, she killed so many people's children, sacrificed so many people's lives, and finally did not die well.
"Even if it is, this palace only has the position of the end of the fourth lady, and it is a head higher than your concubine. A concubine is a concubine, a virtuous concubine is a virtuous concubine, there is only a difference of one word, but it is also a world of difference, you can only obediently guard yourself in front of this palace. ”
Concubine Ran's eyes darkened, when she gave birth to a son and a daughter, in the eyes of others, the emperor loved her very much, but because of her brother, she couldn't sit on the concubine seat for a long time, and the reality was only clear to herself.
The emperor was very jealous of the queen and Concubine Jingxian at the beginning, and most of his children could stay by his side, most of them in exchange for their noble status.
When the newcomer entered the palace, the emperor finally found an excuse to promote her to her current position, but the woman in front of her was still more noble than her, and she still had to grovel in front of the other party.
"This doesn't need Concubine Jingxian to worry, the concubine's brother made a mistake back then, and the emperor began to dislike the concubine, maybe at that time, the emperor decided in his heart that he would not be promoted to a concubine for the rest of his life!"
Concubine Ran seemed to be smiling, but now she still climbed to the concubine position, in the heart of the eldest grandson Yuanhong, there will always be a Yuan Shuyi, she still climbed to this position, when you and the queen fought each other, she still gave birth to a child, the emperor's eldest son and eldest daughter.
Where there is one, there are two, she can climb up once, she can climb up a second time, anyone has an endless desire for that position, the daughter of the family, how can she only have that extreme thirst for the position of that concubine, if you want to do it, you will be the king of ten thousand phoenixes.
Concubine Jingxian really wants to slap the other party now and teach her what to be respectful and humble, who is the real master.
"Concubine Chen! Concubine Chen! Concubine Jingxian's voice suddenly raised an octave, and the people present suddenly turned their heads.
The queen was also startled by this earth-shattering roar, and when she looked back, Angel's face was already pale, and she couldn't help herself, and the four princes stayed in each other's arms obediently, looking at their mother pitifully.
"Concubine Chen, what's wrong with you?" The queen was very surprised, Angel's appearance was like losing her soul.
Angel touched the blood connection between her son and her son, and then she was much more awake, her body was still trembling, she was not sure if she could still use the word life to describe her, she was out of the country at the moment.
"Concubine, it's just ...... Occasional discomfort! Angel didn't know what kind of way she used to say such an answer, the only thing she knew was that her face must be very ugly.
