Chapter 64

“…… How are you staying? Chunjia persuaded a few words of irritability, and when she saw that the queen was resolute and kneeling without moving, as if she was determined to abolish him, her eyes were completely cold, and she slowly exhaled and asked.

Gu Zhen knew that his patience was almost exhausted, so he pursed his lips and said, "The concubine is not worthy of being the queen, how dare she continue to occupy the rear position?" ”

"Since you received the canonization, the phoenix seal has been in your hand, and you have taken the lead in taking care of the affairs of the palace." Chunjia looked at her with disappointment, "The dignity that a queen should have, I have never been in short supply." Although the concubine is pampered and willful, she generally respects you, the middle palace. Now just for such a little quarrel, you are thinking about not being a queen, are you worthy of Gu's hard work for you? ”

Gu Zhen was unmoved, she thought to herself that it was because she was afraid that the Gu family would throw your head and spill blood for you, and finally become the second Ji clan of the national dynasty, so the palace could not go on like this: "Your Majesty is indeed very good to the concubine." It's the concubine who is sorry for Your Majesty, she has no talent and no virtue, she can't take care of the six palaces, and she can't restrain the concubines and others well, so she has no face to be in the middle palace anymore. Please also ask Your Majesty to choose another merit before matching you. ”

Chunjia closed his eyes, pinched the corners of his forehead, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "I ordered Concubine Min to be grounded in Xuanqing Palace, and reflect on it behind closed doors, are you satisfied?" ”

"Your Majesty thinks that the concubine body is forcing you to dispose of the concubine today?" Gu Zhen looked at him, smiled self-deprecatingly, there was a glitter in his eyes, and choked up, "The concubine body just wants to know why His Majesty made the concubine the queen!" ”

Chun Jia said lightly: "You are the old man at my wedding, how do you have a temperament, I know in my heart, among the six palaces, only you are the queen, I can rest assured." ”

This sounds like a love story, but Gu Zhen knows that it is not: "The concubine is dull, and she is definitely not the opponent of the concubine whom His Majesty loves; has enough background, and his father is in charge of the Dingbei Army, and has a close relationship with the regent; In addition, there is no child under his knees, even if he holds the prince, he is not his own child in the end, and there is a gap between mother and son, which will not cause a repeat of the Ji family in the future...... So is Your Majesty at ease? ”

"Does the queen think, does the Gu family have the heart of the Ji family?" Chunjia did not answer the rhetorical question.

Gu Zhen was silent for a while, and said, "Even if the Gu family doesn't have the heart of the Ji family, the key is, does Your Majesty believe it?" ”

Chunjia said lightly: "I am not a mean person. ”

He said this calmly, Gu Zhen was a little speechless for a while, she wanted to say why did you treat Ji like that?

Even the former queen and Kang Jieyu, these two Ji daughters who have served you for many years, you haven't let go?

Xiaozong's wife Ji Sheng, how could you ever be soft-hearted?

It's Xiaozong's mother, the Empress Dowager, and you're not just in love?

The most chilling thing is that the second prince and the third prince are still the emperor's biological flesh and blood, but when did the emperor look at these two children squarely?

Are you qualified to say you're not mean?

But she knew that if she asked so, Chunjia would definitely have a reason, that is, how the Ji clan was sorry for him, and how to control the situation if she was not cruel to the Ji clan.

Anyway, the emperor really doesn't feel mean.

…… Gu Zhen felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, she settled down, and said: "Your Majesty is naturally merciful, but the blood relatives of the noble concubine have successively married the royal family and the high gate, and now she holds the son of Concubine Zhenxi Shufei and Concubine Wen Huixian, dare to ask Your Majesty if you are a concubine, how should you deal with yourself?" ”

When Chunjia heard this, he raised his eyes at her, and wanted to laugh or not.

He sensitively sensed that the queen was trying to make him empathize, or rather, to hint at his current situation, which was the same as Chunjia's original illness.

They are all empty and righteous, but they are in danger due to various threats, so they cannot sleep and eat.

"If I am the queen, I will not think nonsense, and I will do my duty as a middle palace frankly." Chunjia took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Actually, I really don't understand why the queen wants to endanger herself with the Ji family? If it wasn't because the Gu family had committed Ji's past crimes, or planned to emulate Ji's in the future, was it because the queen thought that Ji was wronged? ”

Without waiting for the queen to answer, he continued, "It is true that I have a preference for the concubine, but the concubine is always just a concubine. No matter how prominent the foreign family of King Qin and Lao Qi is, they are just concubines. I have many heirs under my knees, but only the king of Chu in front of you is the son-in-law! ”

"Everyone has selfish desires, and I am no exception."

"But there is nothing wrong with me consciously taking care of the proportions, the concubine is young and pampered, the queen is an old man in the palace, and she is the lord of the six palaces, why can't she show the bearing of the lord of the six palaces and be more tolerant?"

Gu Zhen was silent, and suddenly sneered: "What about the concubine?" If it is the concubine, Your Majesty, will you also persuade her to be lenient and patient? ”

Chunjia said calmly: "First of all, the concubine will not be the queen; Secondly, when the former queen was sick and the concubine presided over the six palaces on her behalf, she had never felt wronged like the queen, so she gave up. ”

After thinking about it, he added, "Of course, the concubine rarely allows herself to be wronged. ”

The implication is that you are too incompetent, Queen.

There is no way to keep yourself from being wronged.

So who's to blame for this?

Naturally, the queen you are too wasteful.

"......" Gu Zhen understood what he meant, opened his mouth, but was a little speechless for a while.

What else could she say?

The emperor calmly admitted that he was partial to the concubine, but he also emphasized that he also respected the empress.

According to the world situation at this time, on the premise of respecting the main room, it is human nature to prefer a few side rooms, and it should not be blamed.

In this way, the main chamber can't suppress the side chamber, and the main chamber can only be blamed for its own lack of ability.

As for what Gu Zhen really cares about, will the emperor abandon himself in the future and set up Yunfeng Huang instead, will he choose Yun Fenghuang's heir to enter the East Palace instead of the prince under the queen's name? Chun Jiadu resolutely denied it.

As the Son of Heaven, he said this, Gu Zhen couldn't say that he didn't believe it, let him come up with more credentials?

After being silent for a long time, Gu Zhen slowly stood up from the ground.

Because of the long kneeling time, she stumbled when she got up, but fortunately, the emperor quickly reached out to help her, otherwise she almost fell.

"Queen." She held her breath in her heart, and didn't want to thank him, so she silently pushed his arm away and staggered to a place farther away from him.

The emperor was not angry, he calmly watched her sit down, and then said slowly, "I am the Son of Heaven, and I am the Middle Palace." Since you sit in this position, while holding great power, you naturally have responsibilities. The queen is not my wife, she was promoted from the position of lady, and the days of living in this Yanfu Palace are less than a year. Therefore, the queen's gaffe today is not considered by me. But...... There will be no next time. ”

Seeing Gu Zhen pursing his lips and turning his head to the side, he asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"......" Gu Zhen didn't say a word, stalemate with him for a moment, and said in an extremely reluctant tone, "The concubine obeys orders." ”

She was still not happy.

However, Chunjia didn't care, and asked about the situation of the king of Chu casually, and made enough to respect the posture of the middle palace and attach importance to his son-in-law, so Shi Shiran left.

It's just that after leaving Yanfu Palace, the emperor's expression was a little bad, and he groaned, and ordered the emperor to go to the Huanhua Palace.

"Your Majesty is coming over now, isn't it the queen's mother who has sued you?" Yun Fenghuang heard that the queen invited Chunjia to Yanfu Palace early in the morning, and when he saw that the emperor came to him again, he had already thought of the reason, and welcomed him into the house with a smile, picked up the tea made by the palace people and blew it, and asked with a smile.

Chunjia was more relaxed with her, and she didn't hide it much: "It's not that you don't know the queen's sex, but why bother to tease her?" How many things have happened in the previous dynasty, and I am still running around worrying about the harmony of your harem. ”

"The concubine body is also afraid that she will do bad things with good intentions, so she reminded a few words, maybe the concubine can't speak and offends the queen mother without knowing it." Yun Fenghuan's expression was relaxed, and he pushed two, six and five, "But how did you know that the queen couldn't wait for a moment and a half, so she had to judge Your Majesty?" In this case, the concubine will wait for a while to ask the queen for sin, and she can't embarrass His Majesty! ”

Chunjia didn't believe a word about this.

He dared to be sure that as long as he agreed to let Yun Fenglian go to ask for sin, Yun Fenglian could ask Gu Zhen to be hysterical.

"I've already told her, don't worry about it." He glanced at the concubine warningly, and said, "You too, don't mess around next time!" ”

Yun Fenghuan didn't pay attention to this level of warning at all, he responded with a smile, and he was tired of asking Gu Zhen what was going on today?

Chunjia refused to say it at first, but she couldn't help pestering her again and again, and only then did she reveal a little: "You are angry with the queen today, and I just passed, so she knelt down and said that the queen can't do it, and I want to make you the queen...... I had to talk about it to make her stop. If the Gu family knows about this matter, I'm afraid that they won't learn from Yin Qu and fight with me in the previous dynasty to seek justice for their daughter? ”

Yun Fenghuan was also awe-inspiring when he heard this, although Gu Zhen himself was very easy to deal with, but after all, Zhaowu Bofu had a special status, and if it really made a fuss, it was impossible for Chunjia not to give in at all.

In fact, the news revealed by the emperor at this time is to suggest that she should not be too stingy in the future.

Otherwise, if the Gu family exerts its strength, the emperor will have to temporarily wronged her to play a round.

…… This kind of noble girl is so annoying!

No, no, no, it's the family behind them that I really hate.

So when is this Gu family cool?!

Yun Fenghuan was malicious in his heart, but he smiled to himself on his face, and promised Chunjia that there would be no next time.

Although she knew that her promise might not be credible, it was still comfortable to look at, and Chunjia's expression eased, rubbing her sideburns and saying, "Gu Zhen is the queen, it was also what you meant at the beginning, and I agreed." Now that she has been on the throne for less than a year, even if there are some things that are not thorough, you can just talk to her. If she can't listen, you can come and talk to me, but why do you want to tell her that she can't get off the stage? In the end, you are just a concubine, and if you have such a dispute with the middle palace, it will not be good for your reputation. ”

Yun Fenghuang felt that the emperor looked up to herself too much, what kind of good name did she have?

mentioned her inside and out, saying that she was smart, vicious, blessed, and profound, where did she say that she was virtuous?

That's absolutely blind.

If you think about it carefully, oh, the emperor himself seems to have said so......

The concubine coughed dryly, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, is the concubine the kind of person who has no sense of proportion?" It's just that I think the queen is hearty, so I don't talk to her anymore. Since the queen mother has gone to her heart, of course she will not be misunderstood in the future. ”

The emperor did not expect the concubine and the empress to be like sisters, as long as they were willing to compromise with each other to maintain a semblance of harmony, or at least not to make trouble at every turn, he would be satisfied.

So at this time, I didn't care whether Yun Fenglian's words were true or not, I encouraged him, asked about the situation of the Seventh Prince, and went back to the previous dynasty to continue to deal with government affairs.

"Is there no man in the dynasty?" As soon as the emperor left, Yun Fenghuan's face became gloomy, and he secretly hated, "The Dingbei Army has been in the hands of Zhao Wubo for many years, and since his son is incompetent, many generals are also guarding themselves?" ”

If the Dingbei Army is full of mountains, and the Gu family doesn't have so much right to speak, can Gu Zhen still be brought out of his mother's house to suppress people?

But after thinking about it, it is true that the Dingbei army protects the country, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the tranquility in the north, which is where his Sangzi is located...... Forget it, the Dingbei Army is still too peaceful.

Yun Fenghuang thought unwillingly: The coming day is long, Gu Zhen is not satisfied, coupled with these several troubles, the emperor must be bored in his heart, let's take my time.

She turned to think about the flood, thinking about whether to let Xie Wuzheng or Xie Fu get involved to earn some credit?

Although these two brothers have no experience in flood control and disaster relief at all, it doesn't matter, go and accumulate some experience, and when she goes back, she helps to advocate a few words in front of the emperor, which is also a qualification.

Thinking so, she thought about how to bring it up to the emperor.

A few days later, Chunjia officially decreed that the eldest princess of Minghui would be crowned the eldest princess and give the marriage of Yunxike, the son of the Yun family.

The eldest princess was originally treated only by the emperor's aunt, and now he has sealed Minghui, naturally to show that he attaches special importance to the first emperor's concubine.

In addition, after Yunxi Ke was a prominent eunuch of the wang clan, his talent and appearance were all seen by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in person, compared to the concubines of the two eldest princesses of Yun'an and Sui'an, more than one or two points, and the Yun family has always been considered the emperor's most trusted and relied on lineage because Yunzhao, the prince of Yiguo, has resolutely stood on Chunjia from the beginning.

Descending the eldest princess of Minghui to the children of the Yun family, it can be seen that the emperor really loves this heir, and he never cares about the meaning that her biological mother is the daughter of the Ji family.

For this reason, many people in the government and the opposition said that the Son of Heaven was merciful, and even the Empress Dowager couldn't say anything.

In fact, the Empress Dowager did not express any opinion on this marriage, and only concentrated on preparing makeup for this granddaughter.

On the Yun family's side, they naturally happily prepared to welcome the golden branches and jade leaves.

The only one who is unhappy is Minghui himself.

She made a lot of trouble in the Yaoyu Palace, but now the palace is different from before, without the support of the concubine Ji Sheng, even the Ji family has been destroyed.

Even if the Ji family still has some manpower in the palace, they don't dare to come forward.

Therefore, the news is blocked, and with the eldest princess's tossing method, there is a singing and dancing inside and out, looking forward to the grand prosperity of the emperor's descending.

In the end, Minghui's close attendant couldn't stand it, and secretly went to Qingci Palace to beg the Empress Dowager, asking her to send a message to persuade Minghui: "Niangniang is no longer here, and now Your Highness's only relative in this world is only you." When you speak, she can listen, otherwise, the servant really doesn't know, what will she do next? ”

"The emperor has made up his mind, is it useful to make trouble like this?" The Empress Dowager sighed softly, and finally ordered someone to summon Minghui to her, "It's useless, and it's only you who tortures yourself, and the people who really care about you, you say, it's worth it?" ”

Seeing that Ming Hui didn't speak with a wooden face, he said, "Yunxi Ke is a good person, and he is worthy of you, and it is not an insult to your background." If you are really not satisfied, wait for a year and a half after the decline, raise a few favorite noodles, as long as it is not full of wind and rain in the city, the mourning family thinks, and the emperor will not care. As for the Yun clan, they didn't dare to care. ”

“…… But if Chunjia is in charge, his granddaughter doesn't want to fulfill him. Minghui lowered his head, and big tears fell, "Imperial grandmother, could it be that our ancestors and grandchildren can really only live by looking at his face in the future?!" And the enmity of the queen mother...... As you know, the biggest regret of the queen mother during her lifetime was that her father did not have a male heir. It doesn't matter which of the father's concubines gave birth to the emperor's heir, they were all born for the mother's queen. Will the queen mother understand this truth? The queen mother herself has no children under her knees, and what she is looking forward to most is that the harem will give birth to an heir for her father, how can she murder them?! Chunjia is simply spewing blood!! ”

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Becoming a king or losing a coward, it is like this." Think that at the beginning, your imperial grandfather won the crown and was in the East Palace, who could please the heirs of your uncles and grandfathers? Like us, although it is incompatible with the emperor, it is very good that he has preserved his status and glory. This is also the reason why your sisters are all girls, no matter how much you mess around, you can't threaten Chunjia, so he is willing to keep us as an archway. ”

Seeing Minghui crying bitterly on the ground, she didn't support or persuade her, but she was tired of crying, so she continued, "Born in the emperor's family, if you can't afford to let it go, you will inevitably live in pain...... Chunjia can have today, although it was the Ji family who chose him, but he also earned it himself, willing to gamble and lose, and the mourning family was unwilling, but there was not much resentment. The right to repay the debts of your imperial grandfather for what he did back then. Now that your wedding date is set, it is about to fall. Since the woman is out of the pavilion is someone else's family, in the future, forget about these disturbances, and live a good life with the horse. ”

Minghui slammed the ground and choked up: "How can you forget the grace of birth and nurturing?" ”

"Are you Junjia's opponent, then?" The Empress Dowager asked unhurriedly, "When the time comes, Chunjia has been given enough reasons to eradicate you, what will be the mood of you when you go underground to see your mother?" ”

Saying that, he slowly exhaled, and said, "The mourning family regrets it, and it shouldn't have been entangled with you in the first place, and you were involved." ”

"Even if the imperial grandmother doesn't involve her granddaughter, will her granddaughter do nothing?" Ming Hui choked up and said, "And the imperial grandmother said that she wanted to repay the debts of the imperial grandfather, but Chunjia accepted the throne of her father, but she couldn't even tolerate the queen mother!" Doesn't he owe us?! ”

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "Then what do you want?" ”
