Chapter 4: The Cold Palace Years
No matter who does it, with Huang Qiong's somewhat flawed character in his bones, he will not let the person who attacks him have a good time. The most important thing is that his wife's family is doing this, and how to deal with the follow-up problems must be clearer than himself. Huang Qiong knew that the value of the cultural relics in her private collection was enough to become a sensational case once exposed.
Selling and smuggling cultural relics, coupled with intentional homicide, it is estimated that there is no problem for those three to sit at least in prison. That woman Huang Qiong knew very well, but she was just very nervous. There are some things that dare to be done, but there is absolutely no courage to dare to take them. As soon as the police were scared, it was estimated that they would even explain clearly when they had sex with themselves for the first time.
Even with the personalities of the three of them, in order to get away with it, they don't need to be scared by the police, they will eat dogs themselves. And those cultural relics in his private collection, as long as one or two of them, are enough to sentence people to more than ten years. What's more, there are hundreds of bronzes, porcelain, and jade, which are enough for them to spend their next life in prison.
Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, but Huang Qiong smiled slightly. If there are no accidents, according to the calculation of time, it is estimated that the three people have each received a pair of silver bracelets. It's just that the silver bracelet they received had a small chain attached to it in the middle.
Even if they were lucky enough not to be caught red-handed by the police, I am afraid that when they rush back, they will be empty-handed. Do they really think they're nerds who don't know how to play at all? I made this result by looking at the wrong person, but I wasn't really stupid to get home.
And with his own understanding of that woman, without money, the adultererous husband ** couldn't even live for three days, and they fell apart. Not counting the habit of not using non-brand-name clothes, bags, and cosmetics that she has developed over the years after following her, just her family that knows all day long about asking for money is enough for the pair of men and women who just use each other to part ways for money.
It's just that for those who hurt themselves, whether to spend time in prison next, or dog-eat-dog-eat-dog, is no longer something Huang Qiong should consider now. For him, he already knew how he got here. But for how to go back now, I'm afraid that the hope is already extremely slim for Huang Qiong.
He knows very well that the only thing he can do now is to figure out how to survive in this era, at least not to starve to death in this era when the productive forces are still underdeveloped. And what he can comfort a little is that, at least from the perspective of the environment he is in now, this family is a wealthy family, even if it is not a prince and noble.
Rosewood is not only in its original era, it is definitely a sky-high collector's item. Even in the Chinese dynasties, since the Tang Dynasty introduced beds, cabinets and other nonsense on a large scale, making all kinds of expensive wood popular, it is not something that ordinary people can afford. When you arrive at such a family, at least for the time being, you won't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It's just that he didn't expect that the family he is in now is not as simple as a high-ranking official or a local tyrant? Such a large amount of red sandalwood and huanghuali precious wood is not even affordable for ordinary high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it can even be said to be prohibited. In ancient times, only the royal family would have the financial resources to use it on such a large scale.
And for a long time, this kind of wood was the same as the golden silk nanmu was used exclusively by the royal family, and ordinary people and others were guilty of using it without authorization. It's just that the focus of Huang Qiong's research in his previous life is not in this area, he knows these things, but he doesn't really understand the history he uses.
But although he didn't know it now, it didn't make him wonder for long. Someone will soon let him know who his parents are in this era, what kind of family he came to this family, and what kind of identity he is at the moment.
When Huang Qiong, who was already a little thirsty, couldn't bear it, she barely struggled to let out a low **. Sitting on the chair over there, I didn't know what was whispering, even if Huang Qiong stood up and listened desperately, he only heard the two women who sent him somewhere, and this time he finally noticed him.
The younger of the two women, the one who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, heard Huang Qiong's voice and hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed. looked at Huang Qiong, who had already opened her eyes, and said to the older woman in surprise: "Niangniang, God bless, the little prince has finally woken up." ”
The older woman, on the other hand, seemed very stable. walked to Huang Qiong's side, stretched out his hand and gave him the pulse, and said in a flat tone: "How many times have I told you, don't mention the word Niangniang in the future, why can't you always remember it?" "Letting you follow me all these years has already wronged you, so why bother to tell so clearly?"
"If you really don't want to call me sister, then call me Miss according to the old habit. I have already told you before, this child is just a little tired, a little out of strength, and he will be fine after a few days of rest, and you are always not at ease. Now that you've seen it, he's fine, and you can rest assured. Feed him some water, and you go to rest. ”
With that, he sat back in his original position, picked up a book, and said nothing. This woman's statement made Huang Qiong a little surprised and a little puzzled at the same time. What was surprising was that judging from the conversation between these two women, he actually became the emperor's son by doing this.
Judging from his current age, he should still be in the palace. Because according to his understanding of history, there was no prince of that dynasty, and he left the palace at the age of four or five to open a palace. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although I don't know which dynasty it is, the emperor's son is not bad after all, and he still doesn't have to worry about starvation.
Even if it is not his turn to take the throne, it is basically no problem to be rich and rich. Even if you want to be a rice worm for a lifetime, no one interferes, let alone worry about eating. And his own Lao Tzu and brothers, as long as they don't fight for power and profit, they must be optimistic about being rice worms.
It's just that what puzzled him was, what are the identities of these two women? The older one should have some status in the palace. Niangniang, this is not a status that ordinary women in the palace can have. Even if she is not a queen, she is at least a concubine. In the strict ancient Chinese society, even concubines and nobles with a certain level could not be called Niangniang.
can be called a mother, it seems that she is at least a concubine. And the younger one should be the maid before she entered the palace. At this point, Huang Qiong has no surprises. In ancient times, if the lady of the official eunuch family entered the palace directly, she would generally bring one or two personal maids into the palace to take care of her.
It is not for nothing that these maids who were brought into the palace called their masters by their original titles. From the tone of the older woman's speech, Huang Qiong always felt that something was wrong. But what was wrong, Huang Qiong didn't figure it out. The most important thing is, what is the relationship between these two women and their current selves?
From the tone of the older woman who gave him the pulse, he really didn't hear a mother's concern for her son. Don't they all say that mothers and children are more expensive in this palace? If she is really the mother of her own time, when she sees herself awake from a coma, why is her tone so flat, and she is not even half happy?
And the younger woman was full of joy that she had come to her senses. From her words, she just regarded herself as a little master. Could it be that her mother in this life has already died, and the concubine in front of her was only raised according to the emperor's requirements, and she is not her biological at all, so she is so cold to herself?
Although because it involves her future life, Huang Qiong is very anxious to figure things out. But he couldn't survive the fatigue after the "initial recovery from a serious illness", and after barely drinking some water to relieve his hungry throat, he fell asleep again.
Fortunately, the mystery didn't last long before it was solved. Just the next day, Huang Qiong knew at least something. That cold and indifferent older woman is indeed his biological mother in this life. It's just that this mother, for some reason, has developed a very cold character towards people and things. Even for his own son, he seems very bland.
However, Huang Qiong didn't understand what kind of environment she was reborn in until she was able to go to the ground. When she knew that she had really crossed over to become a prince, Huang Qiong was almost not frightened in her jaw, but she also had a little excitement in her heart.
He has no hope of being an emperor, but being a prince of peace, it is not unacceptable to live a life of glory and wealth. At least for now, it's not the worst, is it? However, the excitement of Huang Qiong's leap from the grassroots to the top figure of the times lasted for two days.
On the third day of his arrival, he came to a rather unfortunate conclusion from the words of the maid who had followed his mother in this life before he entered the palace. That is, he is indeed a prince now, and his mother in this life is not an ordinary concubine, but the queen of the main palace who is in charge of the six palaces.
As the only son of the empress, his son is not only the emperor's son, but also the eldest son. The only difference is that the position of his mother's queen in this life, when he came to this era, was already in the past, and now she is just a deposed queen in the cold palace.
And he, the original eldest son, not only did he not enjoy the benefits that the eldest son should have, but he was even confined in this small courtyard. In other words, except for a small side gate used to deliver daily necessities, the main entrance is blocked by a brick wall, and the only place where he can move.
Except for wandering around this courtyard, it was impossible for him to browse this palace, which did not know what dynasty it was, and even outsiders could not see it. If his Lao Tzu is willing, if it is not good, he will still be confined in this courtyard until the end of his life.
However, after learning about this, Huang Qiong was confused. As far as Huang Qiong knows, the biggest implication for the son born to a general queen who is deposed is that he can no longer become the heir to the throne. But if you want to say that you were imprisoned with the abolition queen, even if you read history books in your previous life, you have never heard of it.
In all dynasties, even if the mother was abolished, the son who was a minor was at most handed over to other concubines to raise. The adult ones were sent to the fiefdom early. Even if there is no feudal dynasty, it is generally because the emperor does not like it, and basically loses the possibility of inheriting the throne.
Even the knighthood was not affected much, except for a few unlucky ones, most of them came in a decent way. After all, tiger poison doesn't eat children, as long as he doesn't do anything rebellious, even if the emperor doesn't like it, he generally won't do too much, at least the glory and wealth are still guaranteed.
