Chapter 77: Confession

seventy-seven

Wu Yuehua is a side concubine, and she doesn't need to meet the emperor on the second day, but all the concubines and concubines in the inner palace have to meet her, and the crown prince saw that she finished dressing up, her eyebrows became more and more beautiful, she looked forward and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, it doesn't seem appropriate here." ”

Pick up the eyebrow pencil and add a little bit to the left eyebrow.

After a second look, he nodded, "Okay, let's go!" I haven't said hello to the concubines for a few days, so let's go with you. ”

This series of favors is simply dizzying.

The first place is Concubine Zheng, Concubine Zheng is the highest-ranking palace concubine in the palace today, although Concubine Zheng has no children and no daughters, but therefore did not get involved in the tragic battle of the first emperor and the first emperor, the fourth concubine, the virtuous concubine with two sons died of illness in the prime of life, the fourth son's biological mother Concubine Wan secretly gave death, father and brother seized the title, the second son's biological mother became a concubine into the cold palace, and soon died violently, only the childless Concubine Zheng, although it looks inconspicuous, no one took her as a threat, but the concubine has been stable, after the collapse of the first emperor, it is for the concubine, and there is no queen mother in the harem, It is Concubine Zheng who is the most noble.

At this time, Concubine Zheng's palace was lively, Princess Shen, Princess Dunmin County and Princess Ping'an were all sitting there to talk, seeing Xiao Hongcheng and Wu Yuehua coming in together, Concubine Zheng laughed, she was actually only in her early forties, because she had never given birth, her figure was better, curling Tingting, her creamy face, it looked like she hadn't even reached thirty, like a rose in full bloom.

Because Xiao Hongcheng was present, the two princesses and the eldest princess of Ping'an stood up, Xiao Hongcheng first asked Concubine Zheng to say goodbye, and then said hello to the princess and princess, Wu Yuehua knelt down and kowtowed, Concubine Zheng smiled and said, "Get up, come and take a look at me." ”

took Wu Yuehua's hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's a neat child, it's strange that the prince is afraid that I will eat you, so I will accompany you personally."

Several princesses and princesses laughed along, making fun of Wu Yuehua and making Wu Yuehua blush, but Xiao Hongcheng also laughed along, not embarrassed at all.

After saying a few words, Xiao Hongcheng said with a smile: "Because I have to go elsewhere, it is not good to stay for a long time today, so I will ask her to go to worship first, and then come back to dine with you." ”

Concubine Zheng smiled and said: "This is right, and it should be over, but I have something to ask you here, the eldest daughter of your uncle Shenwang's family, the lord of Chang'an, was engaged to marry in the old year, and the son-in-law's family only has the title of earl. But now that I'm going to have a happy event, my uncle's grade is low and not good-looking, can you see if you can appreciate decency? ”

Even the princess had to hit Concubine Zheng's wooden clock, and her face could be imagined.

Xiao Hongcheng smiled and said: "You have spoken, then it is naturally rewarded, and my uncle and grandmother Ming'er called him to come to make up for the lack of a Luan Yiwei, which is the most decent." ”

Concubine Zheng smiled and nodded: "I know that the prince of the Dao is the most thoughtful." ”

Princess Shen hurriedly thanked her, and Xiao Hongcheng led Wu Yuehua away.

After going out, Xiao Hongcheng said: "What do you think of this move by Princess Shen?" ”

Wu Yuehua might as well Xiao Hongcheng suddenly asked her this, a little unclear for a while, but she was still smart, and when she recalled the affairs of King Shen's family, she replied after a while: "Princess Shen is the stepfamily, King Shen has not returned from going to sea for three years, so she promised the eldest daughter of the county lord to the second son of the earl's family who cannot attack the lord, so no matter how good the son-in-law is, and today she entered the palace to ask for the title, she still treats the county lord poorly." ”

Xiao Hongcheng nodded, still in a gentle voice, and the two walked slowly, talking one sentence at a time: "What else?" ”

And also?

Wu Yuehua began to be at a loss, didn't she make this matter clear? What else?

Xiao Hongcheng sighed secretly in his heart, this woman is also a little smart, at least she can understand the affairs of the county lord, but unfortunately she will not draw inferences from one another, she will only talk about things, her vision is not far enough, and her perspective is not big enough.

Of course, the first thing he thought of was Zhou Baolu, Uncle Shen praised Zhou Baolu's overall view, and at this time, his feelings were particularly profound.

That night, Xiao Hongcheng slipped away to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinghe, and honestly reported yesterday's actions to his daughter-in-law in detail, Zhou Baolu didn't expect Xiao Hongcheng to do this, and felt quite unbelievable, and couldn't help asking: "You do this, is she willing to cooperate with you?" ”

Xiao Hongcheng said with a smile: "You are raised in the deep boudoir, and all you see are little girls, even if you whisper something unruly in private, it is just love and love, and the little girl is in her heart." I don't know how big the world outside the road is, how many things can be fought for, and love is just icing on the cake in a person's life, not fundamental. ”

He looked at Zhou Baolu and smiled: "The icing on the cake, it's us." ”

This man is too thick-skinned! Zhou Baolu rolled her lovely eyes to show him.

Xiao Hongcheng teased his daughter-in-law before continuing: "In a person's life, how many lovers can have like-minded interests and work side by side? What am I trying to do to save the country like this than be so honest with you? It's because I know how difficult it is to do such a thing, and it's already the only blessing in the world that I have to be crowned the prince, and I can still get a lover who has the same heart and interests, and can also protect me and protect me, how dare I spare no blessing? My father fought his way out of many princes and became a great treasure, and he was also a person with great blessings, but even if he was sincere, he did not have such blessings. It can be seen that this thing cannot be forced, you and I have encountered it, it is our blessing, even if we can't meet it, this life will not be miserable, there will always be many others to fight for. ”

Zhou Baolu was stunned when she heard it.

She is a perceptive person, a person who does not like to follow the rules, but in the end she is just a little girl, she really didn't think so much, she didn't think so much, she was only happy that Xiao Hongcheng was canonized as the prince, and she didn't realize what Nabian meant to her at all.

But Xiao Hongcheng's words can really be described as heartfelt and honest.

Xiao Hongcheng said: "Concubine Wu looks like a smart person, her maternal grandfather is even smarter, I hinted at Lin Ge Lao, and I also believe in Lin Ge Lao's teachings. The Wu family also has two children who are quite promising, I hope she can palm up, enough to match the name of the favorite concubine, the honorable position in the palace, the family Xuanhe, enough to be glorious for a lifetime, and it is also a blessing that can be counted in the world, if you are still not content, you have to be perfect, there are many women in the world who want this honor, and it is not difficult to change one. ”

He said: "You are noble in birth, noble in your long, and you don't feel deep, and the charm of the way of power is enough to make people eat the marrow and know the taste, much."

Few people spend their lives and pay all their lives to chase power, when you can determine life and death with a word, you can make people bow down, everyone chases you, prostrate at your feet, and can become the center on any occasion, how many people are willing to give up? For many years in the palace, the princes have competed for the title, the court has fought for the official position, and even the lives have been put on countless occasions, not just for the power, this transaction, the conditions I gave are generous enough, and it is because her identity is just right, where is her room to choose? ”

Zhou Baolu is indeed a little ignorant, she has been protected since she was a child, only she oppresses people with her identity, and she has not suffered a loss under power, so she does not feel very deeply about the power of power, but even so, of course she also knows how rare Xiao Hongcheng's heart is, so she smiled: "Well, I can trust you." ”

Xiao Hongcheng said again: "Today I personally took her to kowtow to the masters in the palace, and the day after tomorrow when she returns to the door, I will personally pick her up, and then hand over the internal affairs of the East Palace to her. ”

He looked at Zhou Baolu and said softly: "Qing Concubine Niangniang has come out of the Meditation Palace, she has been in charge of the palace for many years, she has her own foundation, the second brother is afraid that he will not really settle down, and having Concubine Wu in front of her is naturally only good for you." ”

Zhou Baolu was a little unbearable in her heart: "Can she resist it?" There are some things that fall into the trap of others, and they can't be kept even if they want to. ”

For the first time, Xiao Hongcheng revealed the coldness of a prince and a prince in front of Zhou Baolu: "If she doesn't have this ability, why should she enjoy this glory?" ”

After explaining the matter, he gossiped with Zhou Baolu again, told her about Princess Shen's events today, and asked an exact question: "What do you think of Princess Shen's move?" ”

Zhou Baolu also recalled the pattern of King Shen's mansion, and said, "Hasn't King Shen established a son yet?" Why, there is hope for the son born by Princess Shen? ”

Xiao Hongcheng is very satisfied, or his daughter-in-law has a view of the overall situation, and can draw inferences from one another, the eldest son of the county lord of Chang'an and King Shen is from the princess of King Shen, and now this princess Shen can't wait to order such a family affair for the dignified county lord, which is nothing more than because the county lord cannot borrow the situation from her husband's family to help her brother fight for the throne.

Zhou Baolu saw the essence of the matter at a glance, but Wu Yuehua could only focus on the surface of the matter, but at least she was not deceived by Princess Shen's coy attitude, she could see that this matter was inappropriate, and she was smart, and it might be better to teach more in the future.

Who can compare with his own daughter-in-law? Wu Yuehua almost deserved.

Xiao Hongcheng was relieved when he thought about it.

Zhou Baolu also told him: "It's March, it's a good time, my mother is coming home." ”

Xiao Hongcheng smiled: "Then I want to come to see my mother-in-law?" ”

Zhou Baolu glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, I just told you, it's rare for my mother to go home, I want to accompany my mother more, it's not so idle, you come a few less." ”

Xiao Hongcheng was reluctant.

Zhou Baolu had to coax him with good words, this person, when it comes to reasoning, is one set, but in fact, he is still like a child.

It's funny to think about.

In March, the Chen family really returned to the imperial capital, Zhou Baolu was not happy, Mang Yu had quietly told her one thing: "It was originally scheduled to leave on March 12, but Mrs. Qian'er received a letter from the imperial capital, and she was in a hurry to urge, and it was only the sixth day of the first month, the slave maid was not at ease, and she dared to peek at it, it turned out to be written by Mrs. Hou to Mrs., but the slave and maid did not see what was inside. ”

Zhou Baolu frowned, Mrs. Yang only came out of the Buddhist hall in October last year, and she was lucky, she just came out and caught up with Chen Xiyu, the fourth aunt and grandmother, Chen Xiyu gave birth to a son, it was like a live baby, the family was happy or something, Mrs. Yang even had a good face to Zhou Baolu, the family of Wu'an Houfu was unprecedentedly peaceful and harmonious, Zhou Baolu also thought that she had been in the Buddhist hall for half a year, what was the matter with this letter to her mother?

Chen's temperament, Zhou Baolu is fully aware of the way, the most abided by the rules and etiquette, there is filial piety in the etiquette, she has to do her filial piety, Mrs. Yang relies on this to pinch her, good things can't think of her, but if there is anything else, she will take out the identity of the mother-in-law.

Zhou Baolu is particularly annoyed by this.

After thinking about it, she said to Mangyu: "Don't worry, you are waiting for your mother's side, just tell me if you have any actions, and I will deal with it." ”

Miss Mangyu Zhilu Dao is the most understanding person, and she often ventilates and reports the news, and now Zhou Baolu knows the Dao, and she is really not in a hurry.

After sending Mangyu, Zhou Baolu sent Sakura again: "Go to the Wu'an Hou Mansion to ask my uncle and aunt for me, and tell my aunt that my mother received a letter from my grandmother before leaving, and she looked very anxious, and asked my aunt if she knew what was going on." ”

Sakura is the most clever at doing this kind of thing, and sure enough, it didn't take long for her to come back and return to her life, Zhou Baolu listened to it incredulously: "This is too good at thinking, our family is really so stupid?" ”

After thinking for a while, Zhou Baolu sent someone to call Aunt Gu again, Aunt Gu was waiting in Chen's room, and when she saw that the maid avoided Chen, she quietly told her that the eldest lady was looking for her, and immediately knew that she had concealed it from Chen, and pointed out one thing casually, and came out.

Aunt Gu's belly was big, and she was about to give birth, so Zhou Baolu helped her sit down and asked her, "Who is in charge of my mother's dowry?" What about my father's estate? ”

Aunt Gu was a little inexplicable: "Madame's dowry, naturally the mother and sisters around Madame, the master's property, the princess spoke, all of them are taken care of in the house, only the rent silver in the spring and autumn every year and the dividends in the shop, calculated clearly, registered the book, handed over to the Ganlan Courtyard, and now I collect the book, and the silver is paid to the treasury." ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "My mother doesn't have any silver in her hand?" ”

How is this worth smiling? Aunt Gu wondered in her heart, but still said: "Yes, even the dowry of the lady is mostly antique utensils, only two shops and two Zhuangzi, and the annual income is limited, and they are all registered." ”

Zhou Baolu nodded: "Well, that's good, let me tell you, if my mother asks you to bring the silver to her, don't give it to you, come and tell me, do you know the way?" ”

Who is in charge of this house, Aunt Gu is like a mirror in her heart, so she naturally agrees. Zhou Baolu turned his head and called the housekeeper mother and maids around Chen's side to do the same, so as not to leak.

As soon as the order was finished, the next day, Chen Jiu's grandmother Chen Xiqing came to the door, her usual wind and fire, her face was gloomy, and she said when she entered the door: "It's a shame that they can figure it out!" ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "Who called you a rich man?" ”

Chen Xiqing tilted his head: "Hey, do you know the truth?" Ouch, you little guy, but your hands and eyes are all over the sky, how do you know the way? The other child called me back to the Hou Mansion and told me about this, I was angry and my liver hurt! ”

Zhou Baolu warmly brought hot tea and fruits, and said with a smile: "What is so angry, you just say that there is no silver, who will still hold your hand?" Okay, okay, don't be angry......"

Chen Xiqing laughed out loud, and said: "I don't say that I don't have silver, I said in front of my father that I have silver, but I don't lack heart and eyes, don't be fooled like this!" You didn't see how ugly the old woman's face was at that time, she really didn't have enough of the Buddha Hall, so she shouldn't have been let out! The seventh sister still looked like she was crying, saying that she was a sister in the family, and she refused to help her, and said this, she was very wronged, and she was embarrassed! ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "You have said so, what else is there to be angry about, you have silver, my mother wants to help, but there is no silver, hahaha." ”

Chen Xiqing said with a smile: "With you, even if your mother has silver, she can only become no silver immediately." ”

"That's it!" Zhou Baolu said proudly.

The author has something to say: Regarding the logic of Wu Yuehua's matter, I think it is because this is a romance novel, so love accounts for a large proportion of thinking, but in fact, in this world, male and female love is really different from the pursuit of power, so Wu Yuehua can be regarded as seeking benevolence.

In fact, the harem concubines compete for favor, do they really love the emperor? I think most of them are chasing the status and honor obtained through the emperor's favor. Even the wives of the princes' families, how many of them are really in love with men? Like Zeng and Chen Xihua, they are essentially just partners.

In the past, when I was watching Wu Zetian's biography, I used to think that maybe Ah Wu was trembling under the deterrence of power, because of an order from the superior, she almost died of old age in the nunnery, so later she could even kill her own son in order to grasp power.

We are all ordinary people, and we should not have a deep understanding of these things, and I am just demonstrating a logic, but every woman regards love as the most important, and it doesn't matter at all if you use other ways to get status.

Now Wu Yuehua is not facing the problem of being in love with the prince at all, but the problem that she has to prove that she is qualified to be the prince's partner first
