Mingzhu said with a smile: "This matter, even if the queen mother doesn't tell me, I am also ready to advise the queen mother." Before, my husband, about this matter, had a few words, and wanted me to give a little to the queen. ”

Chen Wenfeng is very clear about Liu Jingyuan's ability. Liu Jingyuan is not only extremely wise, but also very trusted by the emperor, but he can be said to be the emperor's most trusted person. His words, of course, are very important.

Chen Wenfeng showed a solemn look and asked Mingzhu, "What does Lord Liu teach me?" ”

Mingzhu said: "Where does Jingyuan dare to teach the queen mother." It's just a wake-up call for the mother. In fact, Niangniang herself can figure it out, but caring about it is chaotic, and I haven't thought of it for a while. So, he gave the mother a reminder. ”

"Niangniang has been the biggest enemy for so many years, isn't it Bai Guifei? Why can Bai Guifei be favored by the emperor. Isn't it still leaning on the Bai family behind him? However, as a woman from a family, it is clear that she wants to come to the queen. The cultivation of concubines in the clan land is to compete for power in the palace. It is not only the struggle for the power of this dynasty, but also the power of the future. ”

"At present, Niangniang's position is very stable, giving birth to a smart eldest son of the emperor, as well as the support of the Queen Mother and the Chen family. Bai Guifei wanted to cross the mother, it was too difficult. However, the Bai family had no choice, and the Bai family had no concubines who had power in the palace for several generations. They can only support Bai Guifei. ”

"However, if the eldest son of the emperor marries a woman from the Bai family, is the Bai family willing to support a Bai concubine? Or are you willing to support a future crown princess, or even a future queen mother? ”

Chen Wenfeng suddenly understood.

As a woman of a family. The rules of the family are still very clear about this. Mingzhu and Liu Jingyuan are right, once the Bai family has a crown princess, I am afraid that they will not support Bai Guifei, and even, Bai Guifei and the prince born to her will become the target of the Bai family's eradication. As soon as he thought of this, Chen Wenfeng became excited.

How much she wanted to see Bai Guifei abandoned by the Bai family, or even eradicated by the Bai family.

Chen Wenfeng said: "Mingzhu, thank you. Thank you and Lord Yanagi. I already know what to do. ”

Mingzhu hesitated.

Chen Wenfeng said: "Sister Mingzhu." If you have anything to say, the person I trust the most is you. ”

Mingzhu had to say: "Actually, I'm just one more mouth." Keihara used to tell me about it. It seems like. The emperor also has ideas about the Li family's clan land. But. That should be after dealing with southern Xinjiang. In case, at that time, the emperor really had ideas about the Li family. The eldest son of the emperor married a woman from the Li family, wouldn't it cause the emperor's speculation? The eldest son of the emperor will also be caught in the middle, which is not good. ”

This reminded Chen Wenfeng. Actually, before, the emperor also told her about this. However, that is really just an idea, in fact, the emperors of the Liu family in the past generations want to destroy the family. This is most evident in the Emperor. However, successive emperors have not been able to achieve this.

As the daughter of the family, Chen Wenfeng knows how powerful the family is, and this wish may not be realized until the end of the Liu family's Great Chu Dynasty. Therefore, at that time, Chen Wenfeng didn't take it to heart when he heard it.

It's one thing to not be able to achieve it, but if it makes the emperor suspicious of her son because of this, she will definitely be a hundred unwilling.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenfeng clearly realized that there was only one choice, and that was the concubine of the Bai family.

Chen Wenfeng couldn't help but have a headache, and said, "Then I can only choose among the Bai family's concubines?" The concubines of the Bai family are probably still young, I don't know, did Mingzhu have any contact with them outside the palace? ”

Mingzhu hurriedly replied: "I have seen a lot of the concubines of the Bai family, but there are many who are young and suitable for the eldest son of the emperor, because the Bai family is now a few houses in the capital, so there are still seven or eight alternatives." If the queen is interested, she can meet these little girls in batches or by holding a palace banquet, and she can still choose them. ”

The queen nodded.

After Mingzhu left, Lan Ping came over to serve tea to Chen Wenfeng. Chen Wenfeng was still thinking about Mingzhu's words, and Lan Ping stood quietly. lowered her eyebrows, in fact, she had been here all the time just now, she was the queen's confidant, and Mingzhu was also very familiar with her, so when she said those words, she did not avoid her.

Half paid, Queen Chen Wenfeng said to Lan Ping: "Lan Ping, you heard what you said just now, what do you think?" ”

Lan Ping hurriedly said: "Qi Yu Niangniang." The slave maid thinks that Mrs. Mingzhu and Lord Liu are very right, and the advice to Niangniang is also correct. It's really a loyal servant of the mother. ”

Chen Wenfeng said: "Yes, the two of them are the eldest son of me and the emperor. ”

Lan Ping said: "However, the slave maid still has a little opinion. ”

Chen Wenfeng suddenly became interested and asked, "Come on, what else do you think?" ”

Lan Ping said: "Mrs. Mingzhu, what Lord Liu said is very right. Among the four major families, the Li family should not be chosen, the Wang family could not be chosen at all, and the Chen family was too close. You can only choose the Bai family. That's quite right. However, the mother probably thinks that the noodles are too narrow. Actually, in addition to the Bai family, we now have another choice. ”

Chen Wenfeng asked strangely: "The emperor said that you must choose, upbring, and have a background in the family to match the emperor's eldest son." You must know that it is not surprising that the eldest son of the emperor is going to become the crown prince and will inherit the world in the future. His concubine may be the crown princess in the future, or even the next queen, without strong support, but she can't sit in this position. ”

Lan Ping said with a smile: "What the emperor said must be chosen in the family." Of course, we can only choose within the Maison. However, the current world is different from the previous world, and the current family, or the future family, is no longer the four great families. ”

Chen Wenfeng asked strangely: "How do you say this?" ”

Lan Ping said: "The so-called family is to have clan land, troops, money, and power. Isn't it a family that meets this condition? Of course, for thousands of years, they have been the four great families. The Chen family is in the northeast, the Bai family is in the northwest, the Li family is in the plateau, and the Wang family is in the southwest. The four great families guarded the frontier for the Great Chu. But that's no longer the case. Now we have a lot more overseas territories. ”

Chen Wenfeng's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, how did I forget this?" Now there is a little more Chen family. In terms of strength, it is actually not much worse than our Chen family, but the population of the family is too small. The area of the clan land may be larger than that of the Chen family. However, the Xiao Chen family is also the Chen family? and I are in the same family, and even, the head of the Xiao Chen family is my third uncle. The eldest and second masters of the Xiao Chen family are all my cousins. If the eldest son of the emperor chooses in the Xiao Chen family, he can only choose from Chen Wenjun, Chen Wenlin's daughter. But this blood relationship is too close. Definitely not. ”

Lan Ping said: "What Niangniang said is, in fact, Chen Yuanheng, although he is Niangniang's third uncle, but he is a concubine, and his blood relationship with Niangniang is a little farther away, and when it comes to his son and granddaughter's generation, it is naturally a little farther away, and it is not impossible." I heard that the eldest daughter of Lord Chen Wenjun is the same age as the eldest son of the emperor, and she has shown her intelligent talent since she was a child, and is known as the smartest girl of the Chen family after Lord Wenhui. Some people even compare her with the Queen Mother when she was young. Xiao Chen's family also dotes on her very much. ”

"I heard that when Lord Wen Hui was in Nanyang, he personally taught her. Madame Bai also attached great importance to this eldest granddaughter, and for the sake of her granddaughter's family, she specially sent her grandmother from the capital to teach this girl named Shanling. From this point of view, the good spirit girl must be extremely intelligent, and her upbringing is very good, and she will be the mother of the world in the future, and there is no problem. However, if the mother thinks that the blood relationship is too close. That can only be left unconsidered. However, there is one more to consider. ”

Chen Wenfeng said: "I know this child. My grandfather and grandmother were at the funeral, and although I didn't leave the palace, I sent Hongxing to go. Hongxing came back and praised the good spirit girl many times, she was very smart and very capable, I heard that Chen Wenjun's Wan Lady had handed over the housework of the city lord's mansion to the young good spirit girl to take care of. This talent is not very powerful. As far as I know, the eldest aunt didn't have this ability back then, that is, Wen Hui had this ability. Hongxing also said that she is very good-looking, although she is still a little girl, she is already a beauty. ”

"However, the blood relationship is still too close. Plus, although the good spirit belongs to Xiao Chen's family. However, after all, it is also surnamed Chen. The Queen Mother, I, have been two generations of Empress Chen. The emperor didn't want to see the next queen or Empress Chen. ”

"In addition to Xiao Chen's family, you said that there is another family to consider, whose family is it?"

Lan Ping said with a smile: "This family also has overseas territories, and now there are four cities in Nanyang, and one-third of the entire Luzon Island is hers." In addition, in the Spice Islands, in Sumatra, etc., there are also a large number of territories. He is powerful and very rich. ”

The queen smiled and said, "Isn't this talking about Wen Hui?" Isn't that still from my Chen family? No, don't think about it. ”

Lan Ping smiled and said, "Niangniang, those territories belong to the county lord of Wenhui. The county lord of Wenhui is surnamed Chen. And Niangniang is a cousin. However, Niangniang forgot that the county lord of Wenhui is now married, a member of the Zhao family, a duchess of the northwest, and a son for the duke of the northwest. Some time ago, Niangniang also sent people to send rewards to the Northwest Tiebi Pass. That child will inevitably inherit everything that the county lord of Wenhui has in Nanyang in the future, but he is not surnamed Chen, I heard that his birth made the old Zhongyi Gong who was fighting in Nanyang very happy, and personally sent his name and reward to the northwest. Named Zhao Honglie. ”

"His surname is Zhao, not Chen." (To be continued......)
