Chapter 128
"I've found out who is behind my back, trying to kill me." Shen Xuanzhen and Zhao Shijiao whispered between the west and the west.
Shen Wanzhen was stunned, unexpectedly, King An found out the black hand behind it so quickly, "Who is it?" ”
"King Ping's person, but I'm not sure that King Ping is behind it, and I still need to investigate."
She weighed repeatedly in her heart, whether to tell Zhao Shijiao about seeing King Ping in the palace, if she didn't say it, Wang Wengui knew that once she said it, she deliberately concealed it, and it would be easy for King An to think crookedly.
Thinking of this, she said: "When I entered the palace, I met King Ping and said a few words. ”
Zhao Shijiao's eyes swept over her face, "What did you say?" ”
"What can you say? Now everyone in and outside the palace treats me as a jealous woman and ridicules me. Shen Wanzhen said lightly, she skipped the words that could not be spoken.
"It seems that he knows a lot about King An's mansion?" Zhao Shijiao said thoughtfully.
"The concubine also feels like this" Shen Wanzhen was inconvenient to say that King Ping asked her to leave Zhao Shijiao, but it was necessary to remind him that there were fine works in the house.
"In the future, we have to be more careful, there are many people in the house, and we can't find out for a while."
"If it's really King Ping, what is the prince going to do?" Shen Xuanzhen is worried that the brothers will turn against each other and kill each other, so it is difficult to determine who will kill the deer, the brothers have the same personalities, they are thoughtful, calm and sharp in trouble, and if the two tigers fight, there will be an injury.
Zhao Shijiao deliberately glanced at her, "Are you a little worried about him in your heart?" ”
Shen Wanzhen looked at Zhao Shijiao with a calm gaze, "You are my husband, the two of us are closely related, life and death, of course I stand firmly beside you, King Ping and Wang Ye are brothers, fratricidal, and I don't want to see it." ”
Zhao Shijiao grabbed the pear on the crystal plate on the rosewood kang table and took a bite, "I won't do it until I figure out the truth of the matter, I always feel that this matter is strange, if it is really the fourth brother, why did he target me, there must be something hidden in it that we don't know the secret." ”
"There is no conflict of interest between the prince and King Ping, and the prince has no disobedience, and he can't hinder King Ping, if there is a grudge, it is not a personal matter between the prince and the king, is there a misunderstanding here, or someone has created some kind of misunderstanding from it, or it is not a misunderstanding, in the deep palace, something unbearable has happened."
Shen Wanzhen's words didn't make it clear, this matter is mostly a royal struggle for power, and there is something dirty in it.
Shen Xuanzhen looked at Zhao Shijiao and said: "The prince is born to the queen mother, the prince, the status is noble, and the status is higher than that of other princes, is it an invisible obstacle for them." Shen Wanzhen secretly thought, Zhao Shijiao's position is not embarrassing, once someone covets the throne, in addition to the emperor, he is also a roadblock.
"We'll find out about this soon, but we need to be cautious until we get to the bottom of it."
The husband and wife were talking, and Xiuju raised his voice at the door: "Go back to the prince, the princess, and Concubine Xue asks to see you." ”
"Let her in," Shen Wanzhen ordered, and the husband and wife stopped talking.
Xue Jin entered the house, squatted down and saluted, "Concubine please princess and princess"
"Is there something wrong?" Zhao Shijiao glanced at her and saw that she was dressed neatly, as if she was going out.
"Back to the princess and princess, the concubine's mother's house sent a letter saying that the concubine's mother is sick, and the concubine wants to go back to her mother's house." Concubine Xue's soul-hooking eyes drifted to Zhao Shijiao intentionally or unintentionally, and boldly seduced the prince in front of the princess, although she relied on the support of the queen mother, she was too bold.
Shen Wanzhen secretly thought that she had seen Xue Jin's aunt, who was spoiled and spoiled, had no one in her eyes, and was very disrespectful to her wife, which influenced Xue Jin not to take her mother-in-law in her eyes, and used the excuse that her mother-in-law was sick and went back to her parents' house to visit, which was obviously a lie.
Zhao Shijiao was beside him, Shen Wanzhen smiled lightly, and looked at Zhao Shijiao to see how he reacted.
Zhao Shijiao said in a flat voice: "If your mother's family has something, you can go back!" ”
didn't ask any extra words, just turned his head and smiled at Shen Wanzhen and said, "Big queen, can this king take you to the spring outing?" ”
Shen Wanzhen was very satisfied with his performance, "Is it okay to go to Xishan?" I would like to see it. ”
"Just according to the princess," Zhao Shijiao looked at her dotingly.
Xue Jin was interested, squatted and retired, walked out of the door of the west room, listened to the laughter of the prince and the princess inside, secretly pinched the cuffs, and said in his heart, the coming day will be long, see who laughs the most.
Xue Jin went back to her parents' house and pointed out that her mother-in-law was sick, but in fact, it was her aunt who sent her a letter and asked her to go back, saying that she had something to discuss with her.
Xue's mansion is in the northeast of the capital, an hour later, Xue Jin's sedan chair arrived at the door of Xue's mansion, the guards guarding the door knew the sedan chair of the palace, and knew that the girl was coming back, so he hurriedly opened the door of the mansion, and let the sedan chair be carried directly from the main gate, entered the middle gate, and got off the sedan chair, Xue Jin went straight to her biological mother Aunt Yan's house.
Aunt Yan went out to see five or six times, and the little maid ran back as soon as she saw Xue Jin's shadow, "Grandma is back." ”
Aunt Yan saw Xue Jin enter the courtyard from the window, and hurriedly greeted her, "Grandma is back"
"Auntie has something important to do with me?" Xue Jin said as he walked into the house.
Aunt Yan instructed the maid: "Go to the door and watch the people, I will talk to my aunt and grandmother, don't let people disturb you." ”
The people in the house went out, and in the summer, it was hot, and Xue Jin saw that there were no outsiders in her aunt's house, so she loosened her neckline and sat on the kang.
Aunt Yan hurriedly grabbed the fan on the table and shook it for her, Fang said: "It's not too important for me to find the girl back, that is, your brother has to be recorded in the name of the lady several times, for the son-in-law, the lady is reluctant in every way, saying that there is already a sister-in-law, there is no reason to raise the concubine under her name, the concubine is different, and the elder and the young should be respectful, if the concubine is raised as a concubine, it will cause a dispute between the brothers, and the family house will be restless, not for the good of your brother, but for the harm of your two brothers." ”
Aunt Yan became angry as she spoke, "Listen, how good Mrs. said is for the good of the Xue family, in fact, she just doesn't want us to be good, let your brother be inferior, aunt has a low background, although you are married, you can't raise your head in your husband's family." ”
Aunt Yan said in her ear, but Xue Jin remembered another matter, and whispered excitedly: "I told my aunt something, the queen mother rewarded our two side concubines alone, and also talked about the heirs of the heart." ”
Aunt Yan said happily: "So, the queen mother is seeing that the concubine has not been pregnant for a long time when she marries into the palace, and wants to let the two side concubines get pregnant, too, the prince has been accepting the side concubines for a year, and the concubines entered the palace earlier, why doesn't the prince have a man and a woman, and the queen mother is a son of the prince, can you not be in a hurry?" It stands to reason that the prince is not young, and it seems that the heirs are having a hard time. ”
Xue Jin pursed her lips and snorted, "What kind of heir is difficult, it's not that Shen Wanzhen is mean and small-minded, and she always guards against other women approaching the prince." ”
Aunt Yan said: "The concubine has a son, and she is also a concubine, and it does not hinder her, she gave birth to a concubine, and she will inherit the throne in the future, that is, the first one born by the emperor is also a concubine, and the concubine is no longer favored, and the concubine is not as noble as the concubine, these three girls are too childish, and it is really difficult to get along." ”
"Who said no, if she can give birth, the Queen Mother will not interfere, complaining that she is not angry."
Aunt Yan approached and whispered: "I don't think the three girls are easy to give birth to, in this way, the concubines of the palace will have a chance, the queen mother values the two side concubines, it would be good if you were a concubine, your status is high, you will have children in the future, and you will be decent, and the queen mother can also take a look at it." ”
Xue Jin tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and said worriedly: "It's not that Mrs. refused to put me in her name at the beginning, saying that the concubine was in the way of the sister-in-law's affairs, and the concubine hindered anything, it's not that she has a bad heart, and she wishes that my mother and children are not good, so she wishes." ”
Aunt Yan snorted coldly, "Over the years, don't look at her on the surface, your father spoils me, she hates me in her heart, everything is aimed at our mother and children, and she doesn't let us have a good time, fortunately your father is protected, she doesn't dare to do anything, your father looks at her like this, and looks down on her more and more, in a year, she rarely goes to her house, she only cares about her anger, and she can't do anything about me." ”
"My father didn't treat us badly, I had a good dowry, my mother was angry, and my aunt also got a lot of benefits, but my aunt was famous, she was a head shorter in front of people, and my brothers were older when they came and went, so I still thought about it in my wife's name."
"Who said no, now that your father is here, she doesn't dare to do anything, in case your father is gone in the future, our mother and daughter are not bullied by her, how much property can we share."
Xue Jin rolled her eyes and pulled her aunt to say; "I told the prince, stay at my mother's house tonight, don't go back to the palace, wait for my father to come back, I beg my father to agree, my brother is a sister-in-law, and he will have a good future in the future, and the rising tide will be good for my mother and daughter."
The mother and daughter agreed, Yan opened the door and called a little maid, "Go to the room to see if the lady has come back." ”
After a short time, the little maid came back and said, "The slave and maid saw that the lady was busy passing food in the house, and the slave and maid did not come forward, thinking that the lady had returned." ”
Aunt Yan said to her daughter, "Are you going to meet Madame?" ”
Xue Jin was looking at a pot of pothos on the windowsill, and didn't reply: "I won't go, and she won't have anything to say if she goes?" ”
"You stay in my house and wait for your father to come back, and if your father asks about it, he will pretend not to know that she has returned." Aunt Yan saw that she was reluctant to go, so she came up with an excuse to help her cover up.
In the evening, the little maid outside the door was clever, and when she saw the old man enter the yard, she shouted, "The old man is back"
Xue Jin hid in the room first, and Aunt Yan greeted her with a spring breeze, "Good master"
Xue Yanling helped Aunt Yan, "There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite"
"Have you eaten dinner, sir?" Aunt Yan guessed that she must have eaten it when she came over at this time.
Xue Yanling took off his boots and went to the kang and sat cross-legged, "I have eaten in the upper room." Aunt Yan thought, it seems that the master went back to the room directly, and I don't know if I said it, I won't forget it, right?
Aunt Yan said to the maid: "Go and pick two kinds of fresh fruits, put them on the guy, and then bring the chilled watermelon juice, on this hot day, the lord quenches his thirst." ”
"You don't have to be busy, sit down and I've got something to say."
Aunt Yan sat down opposite, "The master has something to say, the concubine listens, the concubine listens to the master." ”
"You have followed me for many years, and you have suffered a lot of grievances, even Jin'er and Wu'er I feel sorry, Jin'er is married anyway, Wu'er I originally planned to be recorded as a sister-in-law, so that I will not be looked down upon and bullied in the future, but Mrs. ...... You also know that Lu Dao, stubborn temperament, narrow-minded, this matter has to be put aside for a while, and when there is a chance to mention, now I am transferred to the Beijing Division, no more than casual in the northwest, everything has to worry about the impact. ”
When Aunt Yan heard this, she was a little discouraged, when the master was transferred to the capital, she was secretly happy that she was close to her daughter, but now it seems that not only is it not beneficial, the old man has too many scruples, and he is careful not to cause gossip.
While the two were talking, Xue Jin came out of the inner room with a curtain, startling Xue Yanling, and asked in surprise, "Jin'er, when did you come back, why didn't you hear your mother-in-law talk about it." ”
Xue Jin met his father and said, "I'll come here in the next morning, my grandmother didn't go to the house when she went out, so she didn't go to the room, and came directly to my aunt." ”
Xue Yanling smiled and said, "Is it good to be in the palace?" ”
Aunt Yan hurriedly helped: "Isn't this yesterday the Queen Mother specially rewarded the two side concubines, and now the concubine is gone, the Queen Mother means that the two side concubines will work hard, it is best to get pregnant, the Queen Mother hugs her grandson eagerly, regardless of which one you have, aren't they all the grandsons of the Queen Mother and her old man?" ”
Xue Yanling said: "If Jin'er is blessed to get pregnant first, the Queen Mother and her old man are happy, Jin'er's position in the palace is stable, and the three girls of the Shen family heard that it is not easy to get along, and they can't move Jin'er." ”
Xue Jin waited for her father to finish speaking, then knelt down in front of the kang, solemnly kowtowed a few heads, and panicked Xue Yanling hurriedly said to Yan: "Quickly help Jin'er, Jin'er is now a concubine of the palace, and it is absolutely impossible to make this big gift, let people see it, and lose their identity." ”
Aunt Yan went down to the ground to help, but Xue Jin didn't get up, and said, "Father, if my daughter has something to say, my father promised my daughter to get up." ”
Xue Yanling was a little puzzled, and suddenly her daughter was so solemn, she hurriedly said: "If you have anything to say, say it."
"Brother Wu is remembered as a matter of the son-in-law, ask the father to be the master, the brother is the daughter of the brother, if it is the son-in-law, the daughter also has face, Mrs. is afraid that the brother will fight for property in the future, the same is the father and son, is the father bear to watch one enjoy the wealth, the other is down-and-out, poor food and clothing, the mother-in-law is selfish, afraid that the father's other concubines will be involved in the Xue family's property, is the father willing to listen to the mother-in-law in the future, the father will be the son of the martial brother on the family tree, the mother makes trouble, this is a family matter, and it has nothing to do with state affairs, even the emperor can not interfere, outsiders know the way, at most, his father is a military general, a rough man, my father thinks about it, is this the reason. ”
Xue Yanling frowned and pondered, what her daughter said seemed to make sense.
Aunt Yan saw that the old man was moved, and said with a smile; "The concubine and the lord have been wronged for many years, and it is nothing for the master, but Wu'er's future is a big deal, and now Jin'er has entered the palace again, and the concubine of the palace is more than a family background, and they all complain that the concubine is from a low background, she is a concubine, and she can't even raise her head, if she has a good brother, Jin'er can also be stained, with this appearance, she is giving birth to a son, the future is unlimited, Jin'er is beautiful, and the lord can also follow the light, right?"
Xue Yanling was told by this mother and daughter that she had no idea, and wanted to admit it, but she remembered that her wife resolutely refused, and felt a little embarrassed.
Xue Jin saw that his father didn't speak, and stood up, "My daughter doesn't embarrass my father, and my mother and children deserve to die." ”
When Xue Yanling heard her daughter's complaining words, she didn't feel good in her heart, and her blood was stirred up by her, and she slapped the table, "As long as I don't die in this family, I have the final say, and it is not her turn for a woman to make irresponsible remarks." ”
The mother and daughter looked at each other, smiled, and busily flattered the lord and father.
Xue Yanling was poured ** soup by the mother and daughter, and promised Aunt Yan that she wouldn't agree, "Didn't she agree?" I want to see who can screw whom, I won't let your mother and son have no security, and when I point to you part of the family property tomorrow, I won't have to look at my wife's face in the future, and your mother and son can rest assured, if Jin'er can come out, my face as a father will also shine. ”
