Chapter 178: Concubine Mu
When the news of the Peach Palace came out, everyone thought that it was done by the Queen Mother.
After all, Concubine An was only eaten, and even the six princes were taken to the Chunyu Palace to be raised, and Empress Dowager Yuan was very angry with the queen for this...... Everyone knows it.
So I heard that this fire was set by Gu Su, a great Gu nobleman, and the purpose was to save himself, in order to escape from the queen's hands, the palace was inevitably surprised.
This time, even Concubine Shu and Concubine De were talking about Gu Zhen's incompetence in private: "This Gu Su is so many years younger than her, and she has only been in the palace for a few days, so she has tossed such a turmoil, and the queen is really ...... Soft-hearted. ”
Concubine De snorted and said, "Gu Su is a person who doesn't have many brains, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled into the palace by his family." I'm afraid that this thing can't be done by her own master and servant. ”
She felt that Empress Dowager Yuan still couldn't get out of it.
"Even so, it's useless for the queen." Concubine Shu said in a low voice, "When do you see when Yun Jieyu is alive, when did she cause trouble for the concubine?" Is Yun Jieyu not wanting to? Or do others not think of making a fuss with her? There's just no chance. ”
They were in the side hall of Chunyun Palace at this time, and the queen and the concubine were called into the main hall by the Empress Dowager Yuan.
Also going in were the queen's three younger sisters.
The left and right are not their own family, the Queen Mother is not distressed, and said that let the relevant people understand, then the people who are related to it must be present, including the injured Gu Liman was also dragged up from the couch.
Originally, the Queen Mother only wanted the four sisters of the queen's family to confront her, but Emperor Yunfeng Huang was favored and insisted on watching from the sidelines, and she was not able to resolutely oppose it.
I don't really want to oppose it.
Because the relationship between the concubine and the queen is not very good, Yun Fenghuan is on the side, and maybe she can be more down-to-earth to the queen.
"The concubine remembered that the miscarriage was related to Gu Liman, so she confronted her, but she not only spoke disrespectfully, but also threatened the concubine with the twelve princes." When Gu Su agreed to set fire to make things bigger, she had already thought about it, she was originally a little extreme, and after making up her mind at this time, her attitude was very calm, not guilty at all, and she said loudly, "The concubine is not angry, so she missed and hurt her...... The concubine knew that she was at a loss, and she was willing to apologize, but the queen's sister wanted to use this to eradicate Gu Liman's false concubine, and the concubine had to set fire to the residence in order to attract the attention of the queen mother and Her Majesty! Otherwise, with the humility of the concubine's position, I am afraid that I don't know how I died! ”
Gu Zhen repeatedly mentally prepared himself before he came, telling himself that no matter whether Chunjia's words were true or false, he said so, and in order to stabilize his back position, he should pretend to be a pretend.
But listening to this sister's words reversed black and white, she felt that she couldn't pretend to be a little bit.
"Queen Mother, this is talking nonsense, in fact, she is ...... plainly"
As the queen thought, Empress Dowager Yuan didn't know what was going on, she just wanted to make a fuss about nothing, Gu Su took the initiative to send such a handle, she immediately maintained it, and told her to shut up without waiting for the queen to speak: "It's you who looks at the nonsense of the mourning family!" Da Gu said a few words, and you were busy scolding! Does she have to look at your face when she speaks and acts, and what you say is what you say? In that case, why do you want so many people to come?! I'll just leave it to you! ”
"What the Queen Mother said is very true." Yun Fenghuang insisted on mixing in just to sow discord, and when he heard this, he immediately gave the Queen Mother help, "Queen Mother, you better take it easy, the two Gu nobles on the left and right and this Gu Cairen have been brought over." What are the facts, there is a ruling of the Queen Mother, why should you be anxious? The Queen Mother is the most wise and decisive, why is it that her old man can't see a thousand miles clearly? ”
Empress Dowager Yuan was also very annoyed when she looked at Yun Fenghuan, and she was just expressionless when she heard these words, but she felt in her heart that it was really right to let this cheap maid on her side.
It's nothing to help stimulate Gu Zhen at the moment, the key is to wait for Chunjia to come later, with how firmly he can protect Gu Zhen's position, how much support can he give Gu Zhen when the Queen Mother and Yun Fenghuang are united front?
The Queen Mother and the concubine glanced at each other, and there was no warmth in each other's eyes, but they were tacitly acknowledged.
After that, it was about the same as they estimated, Gu Zhen was reminded by the emperor that she was not so impulsive, but she couldn't stand the grief and anger of being sold by her cousin, and the heart-wrenching words of the queen mother's concubine, she almost wanted to go out immediately to grab a knife with the guards and hack all the living creatures present!!
It's just that the queen mother and the concubine were disappointed that the emperor didn't show up, not only did he not show up, but he didn't even send someone from beginning to end, just like he didn't know how to pinch it here.
Yun Fenghuang regretted that he had lost an opportunity to greatly stimulate Gu Zhen, but he also knew very well that this was in line with Chunjia's personality.
He didn't want to change the queen at all, but he didn't want to offend the queen mother and the concubine.
So this kind of scene is simply pretending to be confused.
Otherwise, if he intervenes, who will he help?
Help the queen, he is reluctant to grieve the queen mother and the concubine.
Help the queen mother's concubine, the queen is already short of chips, and if there is bad news at this time, even if you don't work hard outside to pull the Gu family down, judging from the fact that Gu Zhen has been sick several times in a row before, don't die of grief at that time......
The emperor simply let it go.
His idea was that these three were not stupid, even if Gu Zhen's ability as a queen was indeed a little lacking, but it was not all brainless.
So even if the trouble is unbreakable, it will not be completely out of control.
Just wait for them to finish the trouble, and then think about how to deal with the aftermath.
So the emperor didn't go back to the harem that night, and the next morning, I heard that the queen and concubine had gone to various places the night before, and the flag had died down, so Shi Shiran went to the Chunyu Palace to ask for peace to appease the Empress Dowager Yuan.
Then he was told that he had an extra concubine.
Well, it's Gu Su.
"The mourning family doesn't understand what the Gu family's tutor is about? Obviously they are sisters who are related by blood, and they enter the palace together to serve the emperor, why can't they get along in harmony? Empress Dowager Yuan calmly told the emperor, "Like the noble concubine and the concubine Zhenxi, then they are still not related, when the concubine Zhenxi is here, are their sisters not affectionate?" Even if there are some grievances in private, for the sake of family decency, you should pretend to be one, right? As a result, the four daughters of the Gu family are good! It's like a hater! The mourning family doesn't want to care about it anymore when they are old, so they think about giving this Gu Su a concubine, so as to remind the four sisters of the future way to get along! ”
Chunjia: "......"
He calmed down and tried to object, "Queen Mother, this Gu Su was just a nobleman in the past, and it was too much to be a concubine all of a sudden?" ”
"It's nothing." Empress Dowager Yuan is reasonable, "Concubine Mu's background is not low, if it weren't for the queen's deliberate suppression of her sisters, the first concubine would be qualified." Aren't they concubines and concubines? Moreover, if you want to talk about the exceptional promotion, what is the background of the concubine, she didn't rise to the position of the concubine step by step back then, did it? ”
Seeing that the emperor was still entangled, the queen mother made a look and asked everyone else to go down, so she persuaded in a serious voice, "The queen mother is also for your good." Although you don't like Gu Zhen, the queen, for the sake of the overall situation, you have never thought of shaking her throne, let alone taking the concubine as the prince, right? ”
This point, even Yun Fenghuan knows it in his heart, and the Queen Mother, who raised Chunjia single-handedly, naturally will not fail to see it.
Now it's just to grasp the emperor's thoughts, "But have you thought about it?" Although Gu Zhen is not very smart, she doesn't look like she can interfere in the government, but because she is not smart, sometimes she is more prone to bad things! In this world, are there still few examples of good intentions doing bad things? You've personally persuaded her in the past two years, but she just won't listen! Why? Because she always feels that she can stay in the back position because of the Gu family, not you! In this way, even if you deliberately connived at the concubine against her, she was mainly back down, and she didn't think about improving her scheming city government and being more worthy of you! ”
"But Concubine Mu is different."
"This is the queen's cousin, she really loves her sister as a sister!"
"The queen can tolerate your preference for the concubine, but how can she bear to step on her on the throne?"
"The mourning family deliberately raised Concubine Mu, so as to stimulate the queen to be smarter, don't always drag you back in a daze!"
Chunjia knew that the Queen Mother's words were not true, and the main purpose was to suppress the Queen and the Gu family.
But he also has his own considerations, that is, the fundamental reason why he tried to protect Gu Zhen's position is because Gu Zhen is not very smart, and although the Gu family has prosperous heirs, there is no successor, and it is unlikely that he will threaten the new monarch in the future, and he has no potential to become the next Ji family.
However, the previous dynasty was not without the queen mother, and the later clan did not have any smart people, but with filial piety and the filial piety of the young emperor, they suppressed the imperial power and caused chaos in the dynasty.
Although such descendants are often rich and noble, the damage to the royal family is not necessarily small.
If he accepted the existence of Concubine Mu, maybe he could also provoke disputes within the Gu family and further weaken this time-honored high-ranking family?
Thinking so, the emperor acquiesced to the Queen Mother's arrangement.
But after leaving the Chunyun Palace, when he arrived at the Huanhua Palace, he still put on a face, and asked Yun Fenghuang to make it clear what it meant to make trouble happen to the biological mother of the twelve princes?
"Your Majesty, why does all the dirty water pour on the concubine's head?!" Yun Fenghuang immediately exploded, "You just said that Concubine Mu's lost child was also done by the concubine!" ”
Chunjia just lied to her, and when she saw this, she was afraid that she had really wronged her, and she was afraid that she would not be stimulated if she was pregnant, so she had to soften her tone and start coaxing.
And Yun Fenghuan actually deceived him, seeing that he was soft, he suddenly had a number in his heart, and he became more and more unrelenting, crying and fussing, and shouting that his stomach was uncomfortable...... tossed the emperor for a long time, and still refused to reveal it, and asked him to investigate thoroughly to the end, and he must find out who did the Gu family's sisters' trouble, she is not guilty of this crime!
"Okay, okay, it should be that their sisters themselves have a disgrace, I said the wrong thing, I actually didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask your twelfth biological mother how she was injured like that, but just now I was thinking about other things in my heart, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I said that it was bad!" The emperor pondered that if this matter was not done by the concubine, then it was basically the handiwork of the Empress Dowager Yuan.
The reason why he questioned Yun Fenghuan was not to blame her for poisoning Gu Liman, but because of his preferred prince, he gave priority to the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes, but he also really liked Yun Fenglian, so of course he didn't want Yun Fenghuang to have a feud with the Twelve Princes.
But it's hard to say this, and now he is forced by Yun Fenghuan to get to the bottom of it, so he has to say perfunctorily, "Ah Huang is the most magnanimous, don't worry about me, ah?" ”
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty thinks so, so you said it?" ”
"How is that possible?" Chunjia coaxed her in a good voice, "Is that kind of person?" The one I trust the most is Ah Huang. ”
Yun Fenghuang pinched the shelf, and made it difficult for a while before he eased his face: "Although the concubine body is a person who can't rub sand in her eyes, but now it is not as good as in the past, even if it is to accumulate virtue for the child in her belly, where does the concubine dare to do anything with this eye-catching concubine?" It's too late to take care of the baby now! Your Majesty, don't forget, the concubine was not pregnant at the beginning, but when the news came out that she could get pregnant, the medicine bag on King Qin's body was ...... The concubine still feels frightened when she thinks about it. ”
Chunjia also felt that it made sense when he heard it, after all, he was convinced that the concubine valued the heir.
Even if the concubine is innocent and indulgent, and now it is easy to get pregnant, it is indeed for the sake of the child's wife, and for the sake of the child's wife, she should rather believe it or not.
In this way, this time the matter is really wronged by the concubine?
He felt a little guilty in his heart, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "You also agreed when the queen mother forced the queen to be a concubine?" ”
"Can the concubine disagree?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at him, "At that time, the Empress Dowager was very resolute, the concubine's energy was not as good as usual since she was pregnant, and she felt tired after sitting for a while, and she wished she had ended the matter and left as soon as possible, this is a." The second ......"
She stretched out her hand to stroke her lower abdomen, which was already pregnant, and sighed, "The Empress Dowager said that there have been no newcomers in the palace in the past two years, and Concubine Mu is a fresh. The concubine is now pregnant and inconvenient to serve His Majesty, His Majesty always comes to the Huanhua Palace to visit the concubine is His Majesty's kindness, but the concubine cannot but consider His Majesty...... It's time to bring some people up and serve you. ”
Chunjia couldn't laugh or cry a little, and said, "There are already a lot of people in the palace, and there are also many heirs under my knees. But why bother with what is new and not new? I am not the king of heavy colors. ”
"What can the concubine do?" Yun Fenghuang said aggrievedly, "How can the concubine not want His Majesty to accompany the concubine when he sees the sky?" But who calls himself the Son of Heaven? Not to mention the busy government affairs, always leave you in the Huanhua Palace, after a long time, maybe you will forget that you are willing to accompany the concubine, but feel that the concubine is jealous, and she refuses to let go if she is pregnant! What will the concubine do when the time comes? ”
Chun Jia said: "When have I ever done such a thing? ”
"Your Majesty just suspected that the concubine had killed the biological mother of the Twelve Princes?" Yun Fenghuang quickly asked rhetorically.
The emperor coughed dryly: "It was a slip of the tongue." ”
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said: "Anyway, the Empress Dowager said so, if the concubine didn't agree at that time, it would seem that she didn't feel sorry for Your Majesty." Besides, it's just a concubine, Your Majesty doesn't want to go, can the concubine force you to pass? You can't make the Queen Mother unhappy for such a thing. ”
"You pretended to be tolerant and generous in front of your mother, but you hope that I won't go to Concubine Mu's?" Chun Jia smiled and twisted her cheeks, "Ah Huang is still so bad, use me as a raft." ”
The last doubts in my heart were gone.
After all, the concubine is indeed not a virtuous and generous master.
Jealousy and arrogance are clear.
So in the speechlessness of the six palaces, Gu Su ascended to the sky in such a step, from a noble person to a concubine.
This turn of events has left many people with a bit of a sense of composure.
Even Yun Fenghuan was after sending Chunjia away, Fang remembered and asked, "By the way, then...... What did the biological mother of the Twelve Princes do? ”
