Chapter 272: Secret
"The second prince's mother has a low status, he is also ambitious, he is a good candidate for the crown prince, she has been very filial to me since these days, if nothing else, I will always support him."
"What did you say?"
"Bo Zheng, Situ Huaibo is the person I have chosen, and I hope you can support him as well." Mu Wanshu repeated it again.
"Queen Mother, are you stupid?" Situ Bozheng asked directly, his eyes staring at Mu Wanshu like an eagle soaring in the sky.
Mu Wanshu was stunned.
"Who is Situ Huaibo, can't you see clearly? Yes, he's ambitious, but do you think you can control him? ”
"Of course I can, I have his handle, and I know everything he does, including all the bad things."
"You really look down on Situ Huaibo, although I have been at the border, but I also know that Situ Huaibo is not a simple character, he has been staring at me at the banquet just now, if I guess correctly, immediately her quasi-imperial concubine will come to talk to me and please me."
"Bo Zheng, you are too sensitive, Huaibo is your nephew, and he is related to you by blood, shouldn't he be close to you?" Mu Wanshu thought that Situ Bozheng would say something, but it turned out that these weights were light, she waved her hand and explained.
"Queen Mother, Situ Huaibin is not as simple as you think, his ambitions are huge, even I can't compare, you are a woman in the deep palace, do you know everything about what Situ Huaibo did outside?" Situ Bozheng is worthy of leading soldiers to fight, and he was stunned immediately when he hit the nail on the head and bought a book.
Seeing that Mu Wanshu's expression changed slightly, Situ Bozheng continued: "Situ Huaibo doesn't trust you, even if you find an heir to An An'an, it's better than looking for him. ”
In Situ Bozheng's heart, Mu Wanshu has always been that innocent little girl.
Who knew that Mu Wanshu suddenly became difficult, "I've already left it here, can I help you do it yourself." ”
With that, Mu Wanshu turned around and returned to the inner room.
Situ Bozheng was in a hurry and chased in.
"I have one more question, if you answer me, I'll tell you the answer."
"You say."
"Does the Bo character in Situ Huaibo's name have anything to do with me?"
Situ Huaibo's mother's status is really too low, and she is not qualified to name her child, and the emperor didn't pay attention to him at that time, so he asked the queen to pick it up.
The queen didn't say a word, her eyes drooped, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and Situ Bozheng said softly: "I understand." ”
He turned around and left Fengyi Palace, strode away and carefully avoided people, and returned to Suxi Palace.
He didn't know that after he left, the queen suddenly raised her head, and the sadness on her face dissipated, she looked at Situ Bozheng's back and smiled slowly.
Her purpose was achieved.
After Situ Bozheng returned to Suxi Palace, he happened to meet the old lady who came out of the room.
"Your Highness, where have you been?"
"I have a new environment, and I can't sleep comfortably and go out for a walk."
The old lady did not suspect it, so she went to sleep peacefully.
But as soon as she took a few steps, the old lady turned her head and watched Situ Bozheng push open the door of the wing room and step in.
The old lady thought in a trance that an hour ago, when she came out, she didn't see the light in this room, could it be that King Zheng had been out for more than an hour?
The old lady hesitated in her heart, but she still went back to the house to rest, and did not forget to take good care of the king before leaving.
After Situ Bozheng closed the door, he sat at the table, like a dead man, he didn't move, the light in the room was dim, and the bed was not turned on, so he sat down all night.
The next morning, the Queen Mother invited him over for breakfast, and when the palace maid came in to wash Situ Bozheng, she saw the bed that hadn't even moved the quilt.
The palace maid was shocked, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he honestly brought the copper basin in and put the towel to wipe his face.
"Put down the things, and the king will come by himself."
The palace maid withdrew with hesitation on her face, didn't King Zheng sleep with a quilt at night?
The palace maid walked with her head down, and bumped into the old lady who came to urge.
"Hey, hey, how did you do it so carelessly."
The old lady is the first noble person in this Suxi Palace except for the Queen Mother, and no palace maid dares to provoke her.
"Mama spared the slave and maid, but the slave and maid were distracted."
"Why don't you wait for King Zheng to come out of the house!" The old lady's tone was very stern.
"King Zheng doesn't want slaves and maids to serve, and drives them out."
"In this way, then you should also be guarding the door, running around and bumping into it, and people should be punished."
The palace maid's body trembled, and the old lady talked to the queen mother well, but she was extremely strict with the people below.
"Mama, the slave knows that it is wrong, just now the slave and maid saw that the beds in His Highness's room were all intact, as if they had not slept at night."
"What?"
The old woman's eyes twitched, as if she didn't believe it.
She seemed to think of something, her eyelashes fluttered, and she said sharply to the palace maid: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, do you understand?" ”
"The slave understands."
After the old lady drove the maid away, she knocked on the door and entered the palace.
"Your Highness, can you pack it up? The Queen Mother was in a hurry. ”
"It's okay right away, let the queen mother wait for a long time, it's not the king's."
The old lady still smiled and said tentatively: "Your Highness, didn't you sleep well last night, if this bed is uncomfortable, the slave maid will let you change it." ”
"No need, this bed is very good, this king slept very well last night."
"Your Highness is well rested, if you don't sleep well, the Queen Mother should be angry."
Situ Bo curled his lips slightly in a reserved manner.
accompanied the Queen Mother for breakfast, and Situ Bozheng was called away by the emperor.
The old lady looked at the back of Situ Bozheng leaving, and stood behind the Queen Mother with a heavy heart.
She didn't know what to say to the Queen Mother.
I just held it in my heart first.
But she had already begun to investigate, he had gone to the end of the last night, and had not received any news yet.
Qu Miaoling had no intention of being with Situ Huai Boxu and the snake, and after the banquet was over, he returned to the Wude Hou Mansion, thinking about Situ Bozheng's eyes looking at the queen just now, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly went to the old lady's courtyard, wanting to ask this matter clearly.
But she wasn't stupid enough to ask directly, around the bush, although the old lady didn't know what was going on, she also told Qu Miaoling about the situation at that time.
"Miao Ling, why did you suddenly remember these things?"
"It's not that King Zheng has just returned, King Huai asked Miao Ling to befriend King Zhou, Miao Ling must know King Zheng's past before he can please him."
Qu Miaoling's rhetoric had already been thought of, and even the old lady couldn't find a flaw.
The old lady nodded and recalled: "Back then, your mother, the Empress Emperor, and King Zheng were all childhood sweethearts. ”
The old lady opened the conversation with these words, and the ethereal past gradually became real in Qu Miaoling's heart.
In fact, the past was very simple and nothing complicated, it was a story of you like me, I like you, you don't like me, but I like you.
In the current opinion, many words are written like this, but Qu Miaoling didn't expect this incident to really happen to him, or in the court.
The current emperor Situ Qingchun was just a little-known prince at that time, and the queen mother's status was low, and she was not favored, Situ Qingchun and Situ Bozheng were the same mother, but the emperor treated them very differently.
Situ Bozheng is also clever when he comes to things, and the emperor likes it a little.
But Situ Qingchu is a wooden person who can't speak, and he is like an invisible person in this palace, Mu Wanshu's father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and at that time, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the emperor also trusted him very much.
For her father's character, coupled with the fact that her own aunt was also a concubine for the emperor in the palace, Mu Wanshu was able to enter and leave the court, and Mu Wanshu's father had high hopes for her, so Mu Wanshu entered and exited the palace more frequently.
Therefore, he also got acquainted with Situ Bozheng and Situ Qingchu.
At that time, the lord of Huiling was the proud daughter of the sky, and his father Duanwang was a figure who said the same, but the shopkeeper did not develop the character of traffic police protection but was euphemistic and light, and at that time it was a figure imitated by many noble daughters of the family.
Situ Qingchun inevitably fell in love with her.
It's just that the emperor also loves the lord of Huiling very much, and promised to find a wishful man for the lord of Huiling.
King Duan didn't know that his daughter was on good terms with Situ Qingchu, and specially asked the emperor to choose a good match in the capital, and the emperor immediately took action, and all kinds of atlases were sent to Duanwang's mansion.
After Situ Qingchu learned about it, he was very angry in his heart, but he also knew that with his current status, the emperor would never marry the Lord of Huilin to him.
He secretly clenched his fists, he made a decision, and this decision made him regret it for the rest of his life, and he did not forgive himself until now.
Situ Qingchun decided to marry Mu Wanshu, so as to get the support of Mu Wanshu's father, so as to open up his isolation in the court.
This also kicked off the competition for the big position.
But no one knows that Situ Bozheng's sweetheart is Mu Wanshu.
As a young man, his heart as a boy was hung on Mu Wanshu, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, Mu Wanshu was sick, and he was more anxious than Mu Wanshu's biological father.
If it weren't for the strict palace rules and the great defense of men and women, he would have rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion and drilled into Mu Wanshu's boudoir.
After Mu Wanshu and Situ Qingchun got married, Situ Bozheng was very sad, and of course the county lord of Huiling was also grief-stricken.
The old lady thought that her eyes blinked twice at that time, and she was still a little red.
"Was that when my father married my mother?"
Qu Miaoling suddenly asked, the old lady was stunned, but then nodded and said: "Miaoling, you are right, the county lord of Huiling is heartbroken, he didn't take a fancy to any of those who persuaded the old man, but personally asked the emperor to marry Wu Dehou, that is, your father." ”
"My mother married my father, she was angry."
The old lady continued to nod.
She also knows what her son looks like, and he is definitely not a candidate that the county lord of Huiling can look at.
Wu Dehou just took the shit luck and married the county lord of Huiling, the old lady still remembered that when she got married, Situ Qingqi's eyes were red, he stared at the bride dressed in red, and there were no personal guards around him who were afraid that he would snatch the bride away.
At that time, Situ Qingchu's eyes were like a desperate lone wolf.
Vicious and brutal, overwhelmed, confused and desperate.
All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined, but the old lady was still young at that time and didn't know so much.
Later, after Situ Qingchun ascended the throne, he learned these secrets little by little, but it was too late, the county lord of Huiling was gone, and Qu Miaoling was also sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside.
Fortunately, the emperor loved the house and Wu, and gave Qu Miaoling the identity of the county lord at that time, otherwise he would have been rubbed to death by Qu Miaoling all these years.
"Your mother is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, although your father was cowardly at that time, but his temperament was gentle, and he was not as irritable as he is now, and you also know that your father's appearance is one of the best in Beijing, but now that he is old, he looks a little vicissitudes."
After all, it is her own son, no matter how much the old lady talks about him, she still has him in her heart.
Qu Miaoling nodded, Wu Dehou's appearance is indeed one of the best in Jingzhou, even if there are few middle-aged men who are more handsome than him now.
"Your mother and father walked together by mistake, but I am glad that they have developed feelings for years of getting along and getting along with each other, if your mother hadn't left first, I'm afraid there would be no Wen entering the door."
The old lady sighed and continued: "Your father is an infatuated man, when he married your mother, he was as happy as anything, he didn't need others to pour him when he got married, he drank two large jars of wine, and when he entered the cave room, he stepped on the cotton in a flutter, and the four guards dragged him in. ”
