Chapter 304: The Female Honor's Succession (4)
Everyone thought that Ning Gongzi would become the queen queen, but to everyone's expectations, a few days later, the emperor gave Ning Yuxuan to the four princesses to be the king. For this move, everyone was puzzled, including Yao Huang, no one guessed the emperor's mind. If you don't marry Ning Yuxuan to the eldest princess and Yao Huang, you are afraid of the two of you, and you don't want to increase the bargaining chips for the two, so why don't you marry Ning Yuxuan to someone else or the fifth princess who doesn't have much power in the court, but the fourth princess? On the surface, the four princesses are the "loyal" subordinates of the princess, so doesn't this add strength to Yao Huang's side?
Yao Huang affirmed that the emperor must have a deep meaning in doing this, and his mind quickly recalled the growth experience of the four imperial daughters: the emperor was neither salty nor indifferent, but at critical times, he would always help him; Yi Guijun's attitude towards his two sons is very different, he loves and dotes on the five princesses, but he treats the four princesses like enemies, which makes people wonder if they are father and daughter. Thinking of the mysterious bedroom in the emperor's bedroom, a bold conjecture popped up in Yao Huang's mind.
"Zhang Xun, you are an old man in the palace, do you know who lived in that room in the palace of the Mother Emperor of the Dao Dao?" Yao Huang asked the general manager.
"The slave doesn't know." Zhang Xun's answer disappointed Yao Huang, "That room has been closed for twenty years. More than 20 years ago, the slave maid had just entered the palace. ”
"Do you know the old man who served in Xian'an Palace twenty years ago?"
"Except for the emperor's side of General Manager Yan, all the people who served in Xian'an Palace at that time died." Zhang Xun's body trembled, and he couldn't help but be afraid. Something must have happened twenty years ago, when the emperor wiped out all the people he had served.
"Yan Xi? With her loyalty to the Mother Empress, she wants to get the truth out of her mouth. It's harder than killing her! Yao Huang sighed. Let the chief manager do what he wants.
The chief manager was not long gone. Limbo walked in.
"Your Highness, it turns out that the four princesses really have other thoughts." Ling Bo stared at Yao Huang in admiration. The four princesses were deeply thoughtful, they were all deceived by it, thinking that the four princesses were really loyal to the princess, but they didn't expect the four princesses to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and hibernate beside the princess waiting for an opportunity. Thanks to Her Royal Highness's sharp eyes, she saw through the sinister thoughts of the four princesses, allowing them to discover the true colors of the four princesses.
"Got it all figured out?" Yao Huang asked.
"Yes!" Limbo replied. "The power that the Four Princesses have secretly established has been fully investigated by us."
"Watch first, don't startle the snake." Yao Huangdao.
"Yes!" Ling Bo raised his head and said, "Your Highness, our people around Yi Guijun have discovered a great secret. ”
"Oh? What secret? Yao Huang asked flatly, the most important thing in the palace is secrets.
"The fourth princess is not the daughter of Yi Guijun."
Yao Huang's flat expression suddenly cracked, and he asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Yes, this secret was told by Yi Guijun himself. The emperor decreed that Ning Gongzi be married to the fourth princess, and the five princesses were very dissatisfied with this, and when they complained to Yi Guijun, Yi Guijun said it out of his mouth. "Ling Bodao.
"Since it was Yi Guijun himself. That should be true. Yao Huang smiled in a good mood, it seems that his previous guess was correct.
"What is my eldest sister doing now?"
"The eldest princess goes to the barracks every day to train her soldiers. Every hour and quarter go out of the city, and return to the city at the hour. ”
"Ling Bo, book a private room in Taibai Building the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to invite my eldest sister to have a few drinks."
Taibai Building is located in the most prosperous street market, and the queen must pass through Taibai Building when entering and leaving the city. Taibai Building is the property of the Three Princesses, and many people don't understand why it is called "Taibai" with such a strange name.
Two days later, Yao Lan, the eldest princess, was stopped by Ling Bo when she passed by the Taibai Restaurant.
"Your Highness, my Highness is invited."
"Her Royal Highness invited me to drink? Is the sun coming out of the west? Yao Lan smiled mockingly, "Lead the way, I don't want people to say that I'm afraid of you and your master." ”
Ling Bo lowered his head to hide his dissatisfaction with the eldest princess, and led the eldest princess into the box where Yao Huang was.
"Big sister!" Yao Huang invited the eldest princess to the table with a smile, and her attitude was so friendly that she was jealous.
"Second brother, what purpose do you have to say it directly! I'm not interested in playing sisterhood with you! The eldest princess stared at the wine that Yao Huang poured for her, and did not move.
Yao Huang drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, sighed and said, "Eldest sister, when did our two sisters become like enemies meeting each other?" I still remember when I was a child, we had a very strong relationship, and the two of us went over the wall to play outside the palace together......"
The eldest princess also remembered an interesting story when she was a child: "As a result, the mother emperor found out and punished us for kneeling on the ancestral tablet......"
As soon as the nostalgic expression was closed, the eldest princess sneered: "Enough emotional cards have been played, tell your purpose!" ”
"Eldest sister, I said that my purpose is to contact you?"
"Are you fooling me?"
Yao Huang sighed again: "Eldest sister, although we have not dealt with each other in the past few years, I have always regarded you as a relative and an opponent worthy of respect in my heart." ”
"Loved ones? How can the royal family have relatives. And your best sister is your fourth ass! The Grand Empress said sarcastically.
"Fourth?" The corners of Yao Huang's mouth hooked up the angle of mockery, "If I say that the winner in that position is the fourth, will you believe it?" ”
"Just her? How can it be? The eldest princess thought Yao Huang was telling a joke.
"She herself has a heart and is good at forbearance, which makes it possible to succeed, and the most important thing is that she has the mother queen as a strong reinforcement to defeat the two of us."
"Nonsense, how could the queen mother help her? The queen mother has always been partial to you is the person, you were born only three years ago and became a daughter, past my eldest daughter, it can be seen how much the queen mother favors you. The eldest princess hated to say the resentment she had had for many years, and this was what she was most unconvinced about. As the emperor's first child, his ability is not as good as Yao Huang, why is Yao Huang a princess? Just because she's a concubine?
Yao Huang shook his head: "Eldest sister, is the mother queen's attitude towards me now favoring me?" Let's be honest, I'm just a target pushed by the mother in the foreground, blocking the knife for her true heir; She provoked us sisters to fight, because she wanted to justifiably abolish our sisters, after all, whether it was the eldest or the heir, it was not the turn of the fourth child. ”
"How is that possible!" The eldest princess retorted, and as soon as the words came out, she remembered all kinds of encouragement from the emperor, and the words seemed to imply that if there was no Yao Huang, the position of the princess would not belong to her. What is this not provocation? Obviously, he had such a good relationship with Yao Huang when he was a child, why did he grow up and become an enemy? Father is a low-key person, he always tells himself not to fight, just be healthy for a lifetime, he was originally obedient, when did he become unable to listen to his father's words? It is the mother queen, and it is all the mother emperor who encourages her behind her back, so that she will embark on the road of going against Yao Huang. (To be continued......)
