Chapter 63 Retreat as Advance
"How can Niangniang let that concubine raise the Seventh Prince?" This time it was a sister-in-law of Gu Zhen, whose maiden name was Li, and Li's sex was straight, and when she looked at her face, she met the courtesy, hinting that the queen had cleared the scene, and she couldn't take care of the greetings, so she said straight to the point, "Originally, the concubine was deeply interested, and the courtiers said something that she didn't like, if she also had a good background, it was really hard to say who would sit in the seat of Yanfu Palace today!" But in the past two years, she has relied on pampering, first making her blood brothers and sisters both lords and marriage partners, so as to strengthen her momentum! also enveloped Concubine Shu and Concubine De, and indirectly got hooked up with the Ouyang family and the Wei family! ”
"That's not enough for our family's vigilance?"
"Now even the Yin family has asked her to win her over, this is ...... If the princes grow up in the future, she has some thoughts that shouldn't be raised, what do you think we should do? ”
Gu Zhen was stunned, and he would come to his senses, and subconsciously said: "But the Seventh Prince is weak, and he doesn't know if he can raise it?" As for Yin Qu's importance to his daughter, if he raised his grandson but couldn't support him, he wouldn't be hated to death? ”
"You also said that I don't know if I can raise it, and I don't have to be able to raise it." Li said in a low voice, "What if she raises me?" Even if it's not very likely, you can't take the risk! You must know that the position of the East Palace is very important, and there is no room for the slightest mercy! ”
Moreover, "The Seventh Prince was born at full term, even if he looks weak because of difficult childbirth, who can guarantee that he will not survive?" ”
Gu Zhen's face was a little ugly, remembering the words that Yun Fenghuang had sworn before that the Seventh Prince was a hot potato.
At that time, she felt very reasonable, so after knowing that Yun Fenghuang was "forced" to take over the Seventh Prince, she also comforted her.
As a result, now that she was reminded by her sister-in-law, she suspected that the concubine did it on purpose.
The purpose is to make her jealous, and she doesn't dare to consider taking over the Seventh Prince, let alone prevent the concubine from getting the Seventh Prince!
"......" felt that he was too stupid at this time, he was simply played with by the concubine, Gu Zhen really didn't have the face to tell the Li family about this, and only said, "The Seven Princes are not the masters of the palace and handed over to the concubine to raise, it is the meaning of the Seventh Prince's maternal grandfather Yin Qu, for this reason he also cried in front of the palace for a long time, and His Majesty couldn't help it, so he specially called the concubine to the front court to express his position in person, and in desperation, he agreed." What can Hongu do? This palace can't let Your Majesty not give Yin Qu face? In this way, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty must all be regarded as cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and they don't care about their hard work and merits for the country? ”
Seeing that she was not very happy, Li Shi hurriedly slowed down his tone: "The concubine doesn't mean this, and the mother is angry." ”
"This matter is now a foregone conclusion, the concubine's personality, even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it, relying on the emperor's favor, this palace has always wanted to let her have a few points." Gu Zhen stiffened his voice and said, "The matter that is still being discussed, this palace can still try to stop one or two, but now that the seven princes have been hugged to her palace, what else can this palace do?" ”
The Li family is a little unwilling, after all, the concubine has already gained the upper hand in favor, and she has the eldest son of the emperor, in the case of the queen's sister-in-law, King Chu, who is sick, plus the help of the Yin family, it is really hard to say what the candidates for the East Palace will be in the future.
Although the emperor acquiesced to Gu Su and other Gu daughters entering the palace, he gave birth to an heir and raised the queen, ensuring that the queen had a healthy prince under her knees and could live in the East Palace. But Gu Su and they have only been in the palace for a few days? There is no news yet, and I don't know when it will be.
Now King Qin and they are still young, in two years, the age gap between the brothers will widen, the eldest son can take care of things, and the sister-in-law is still innocent, this ......
"I heard that the second prince, the third prince, and Princess Zhaoqing all had it after their biological mother took a Yizi recipe from the Ji family." She thought about it, and asked the queen in a low voice, "Do you want us to try to find it and let the eighth sister try it?" ”
Gu Zhen frowned slightly, the so-called Yizi Fangzi had tried a lot in private in her early years.
At that time, everyone didn't know about the three corpse insects, seeing that Concubine Zhenxi and Concubine An, and many palace concubines were pregnant one after another, even if they didn't give birth, they were pregnant, so they wanted to work hard.
Not only Gu Zhen, as far as she knew, the palace concubines were very interested in Yizi's secret recipe at that time, and they tried it a lot.
It's just that I haven't been able to see the effect later, and this thought has gradually faded.
At this moment, he was a little disapproving: "Where did you get such a good formula?" Eighty percent of them are rumors of the palace and cannot be taken seriously. If it's really that useful, do you think that the Ji family can not let the former queen use it, but only let Kang Jieyu use it? The difference between the son-in-law and the son-in-law is not one or two. If the former queen gave birth to a son-in-law before the fall of the Ji family, could the Ji family still be like that? ”
Li Shi thought about it, so he sighed and said, "The family is also afraid that the mother will be wronged in the future." ”
“…… Anyway, it's a long time coming. Gu Zhen was upset and didn't want to say more to her, so he said simply, "Let's talk about it then." ”
After all, everyone has arrived in the Huanhua Palace, so she can't bring people to rush in and snatch the Seven Princes to Yanfu Palace, right?
Despite this, Gu Zhen was not happy in his heart.
When I saw Yun Fenghuan again, her face was not very good, Yun Fenghuan thought that something was wrong with her, so she cared a few words meaningfully, Gu Zhen didn't want to pay attention to her, turned her face away, and said straight to business: "You must have heard about the breaking of the embankment of the Long River, the meaning of this palace is that the royal family is supported by the people of the world, and now Li Shu, who has suffered from the flood, is very difficult and hard, even if it is a harem, he can't be indifferent." How about cutting the number of cases and donating to the innocent? ”
This is the second time that the queen has mentioned the reduction of the number of shares, the previous time for the preparation of the expedition, and this time for the people who have been affected by the disaster.
To be honest, there is no problem with the starting point of these two times, and Yun Fenghuan persuaded the queen to slowly try it out earlier in order not to fall into the trap, not to disapprove of the queen's intentions.
But this time, although I don't know why Queen Gu suddenly gave her face, Yun Fenghuang in line with the principle of "you dare to lose face in public, why should this palace give you face", and decisively objected: "The imperial court has already sent Lord Ouyang as the main envoy and Shou Ninghou as the deputy envoy to go to disaster relief, and now I don't know what the situation is, why should Niangniang bother?" ”
Gu Zhen frowned and said, "Why does the concubine think that it is a lot of things to help the victims?" ”
"Of course the concubine doesn't mean that." Yun Fenghuang said-for-tat, "But there is a specialization in the art industry, and this world does not mean that it is a good thing to have good intentions." Now the former dynasty and the harem have never heard of the lack of treasury, and we need to save money, but why should Niangniang be anxious? I don't know, I thought that the former emperor and the extravagant people of the present day have squandered the family funds saved by His Majesty Emperor Shenzong in just these years! Wouldn't such a mother do bad things with good intentions? ”
This is tantamount to euphemistically saying that Gu Zhen is not sincere in disaster relief at all, but just wants to use this method to invite fame.
“…… The concubine herself eats and drinks spicy food and spicy food in the palace, wears gold and silver, and is unwilling to be thrifty, and the palace is not reluctant. Gu Zhen did have the intention of spreading his virtuous name through this, and when he heard this, he stared at Yun Fenghuan for a while, sneered slightly, and said, "This palace will do it yourself." ”
Hearing this, the concubines below are all numb scalps!
Sure enough, the queen's next step was to look around and ask everyone: "If anyone cares about the victims, they can be the same as this palace, if they don't want to, this palace will never be embarrassed!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to respond, and got up and left directly.
Seeing this, the concubines looked at each other, and the hall was quiet and could smell the needle.
At this moment, there was a sound that was not light or heavy, it was Yun Fenghuang who put the tea bowl on the case, her face was not very good-looking, she stared at the vacant phoenix seat after the queen left for a moment, and said slowly: "Go." ”
Concubine Shu Defei was the first to get up and keep up with her pace.
Then it was Jia Yu Ye Yi Xingen Qu Hongzhu, and Mrs. Qingshu and other concubines hesitated and deliberately fell behind a little distance before getting up and leaving.
Before leaving, they also blessed the queen of the palace as a farewell.
"Concubine Xian is not here, Concubine An is not invited, although Concubine Wan did not immediately follow the concubine, but she also has an ambiguous attitude, Mrs. Qingshu and Mrs. Roukun have shown favor to the concubine in private......" The attendants of the Chongchang Hall were worried, "The lord of the six palaces is obviously our mother, looking at it like this, the concubine is like a deputy queen." ”
Gu Zhen was expressionless and said, "Deputy queen? Then you can't help but look down on Xiao Yun's clan too much. Is she more than a vice queen? She can do all the things that the palace can't do, and how many things His Majesty doesn't say a word to the palace, and she talks freely about them......"
The attendant said cautiously: "Niangniang is angry." Even so, His Majesty only made her a concubine in the end, which shows that even if he has a little preference for her, he is still measured. ”
"This is what Hongu used to think." Gu Zhen was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "But now...... I really don't know if Your Majesty has a sense of proportion or does he feel that the time is not yet ripe, and he still needs my Gu family, so he has to be perfunctory to this palace? ”
She said to herself, "If it's the latter, what do you say, what should this palace do so that it doesn't repeat the mistakes of the former queen?" ”
The attendant subconsciously held his breath, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Gu Zhen didn't need her answer, but said slowly: "That's it, you send someone to invite Your Majesty over." Just said that the palace had something important to discuss with him. ”
The two empresses rarely took the initiative to invite the emperor to Yanfu Palace, and basically sent people to have something to do, and it was a serious matter.
Therefore, Chunjia did not delay much after receiving the news, and directly drove the Chongchang Palace.
After arriving, Gu Zhen asked people to clear the scene, and 1510 told him about the scene of the dispute with the concubine just now, and Chunjia was puzzled: "Just for this?" ”
"Your Majesty thinks this is a trivial matter?" Gu Zhen looked at him, "But the concubine doesn't think so." ”
Chun Jia was a little impatient in his heart, because of the flood, it caused a change in his strategy towards Wei Su, and he was really busy in the past two days.
At this time, the queen still has to call herself out for being jealous, and he also gave the Gu family face so that he didn't have a seizure, but his expression was also a little cold, and he said slowly: "If the queen thinks it's inappropriate, just tell the concubine." I said that you are the master of the harem, and you can handle these things yourself. ”
Anyway, he didn't think that the queen could dispose of the concubine...... He felt that the queen herself should have this awareness, so why did she have to go against the concubine?
Get along with each other as politely as before, what's wrong with pretending to be intimate occasionally?
"Your Majesty." Gu Zhen suddenly knelt down, and Zhengse said, "In terms of qualifications, the concubine is an old man who entered the palace when His Majesty got married, but the concubine has been in the palace for less than three years; In terms of origin, the concubine is just the daughter of a squire, but the concubine is the daughter of the Bofu; In terms of position, the concubine is the lord of the middle palace, but the concubine is just a concubine. Despite this, the concubines in the palace, at critical moments, are all towards the concubine, not the concubine! The concubine felt that she was not virtuous enough and was not worthy of being a queen! Please abolish the position behind the concubine and fill it with the concubine! ”
"......" Chunjia was expressionless for a moment, and after a while, he said lightly, "If the queen is annoyed by the concubine, why should she take the back seat to vent her anger?" ”
Gu Zhen insisted: "The concubine has no talent and no virtue and is not worthy of the phoenix seal, please fulfill it Your Majesty!" ”
She knew that she was doing this because she was clearly retreating, and Chunjia would not be unclear, and she would definitely be angry, it should be said, very angry.
But it doesn't matter, the emperor's heart has never been on her, and she knows this very well.
So why care about doing things he likes or not?
If you don't take advantage of the fact that the Gu family is still useful to him now, even if she is scolded and beaten, she will definitely not do anything to her, will she wait for the Son of Heaven to stabilize his position in the future, and he will not need their family, and then tell his grievances? When the time comes, who cares? Who will bother listening?
