Chapter 231: Hunger Strike
Since King Hui is also suspicious of Concubine Jin, it shouldn't be difficult for him to learn some of Concubine Jin's recent developments from Concubine Xi.
"Sixth brother, since you mentioned it, I don't know if you can find out with Concubine Xi Niangniang, who this Concubine Jin has been with recently." King Rui frowned.
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult, a few days ago, my mother and Concubine Jin met in the garden, my brother Heng accidentally bumped into Concubine Jin, Concubine Jin pushed Brother Heng, my mother reasoned with her, who knew that after my father knew, my mother and concubine were grounded in the palace." King Hui frowned.
This emperor has always been very fair in doing things, if this matter is as King Hui said, it is obvious that Concubine Jin is spoiled, Zhao Heng is still a four or five-year-old child, even if he bumps into someone, there will be no problem.
What's more, no matter how Zhao Heng says it, he is also a prince, and he is always much more expensive than a woman sent by a vassal country.
"Fifth brother, is my father so confused? He's never been fascinated by a woman like this. King Huai pouted.
As soon as the words fell, King Rui reached out and patted the back of King Huai's head, "You kid, how can you say that about your father?" Aren't you afraid that it will reach the ears of your father? ”
"Fifth brother, your house is like an iron bucket, if there were spies, you would have been disposed of a long time ago, if you can't say something psychological in your house, then what's the point." King Huai scratched his head and said.
"Ninth brother, even if it is us, we don't talk casually, the people who serve in close proximity can be relied on, but those miscellaneous servants are not necessarily." Gu Yunxin said softly.
"So what are we going to do? Now there is not even a single person in the palace to help. King Huai frowned.
"Lord, why don't I invite Princess Xiangyang to accompany me into the palace tomorrow to greet the imperial grandmother?" Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
Even in the previous life, Gu Yunxin didn't have much impression of this Jin Fei, but he knew that this Jin Concubine ended up depressed. I didn't expect her to change in this life? Could it be that she is also reborn?
Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin was even more determined to want to meet this Jin Concubine for a while. If this concubine really has the same fate as herself, then this is even more interesting.
"Does the fifth sister-in-law want to take Princess Xiangyang with her? That Concubine Jin has a vicious mind, if he plots to kill you, then what if it ......," King Hui worried.
"Princess Xiangyang's status is noble, and there is a Zhan family behind her, even if Concubine Jin has the courage, she doesn't dare to do anything to Princess Xiangyang, not to mention, her father will not lose the help of both parties at once for a woman." Gu Yunxin said softly.
"What my sister-in-law said is reasonable, but Concubine Jin's mind should not be underestimated, if my sister-in-law meets her after entering the palace, she must be extremely careful." King Hui reminded softly.
"I don't know if Concubine Xi has anything she likes to eat, I'll send it to her when I enter the palace." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"Help me enter the palace and send it?" King Hui wondered.
"Yes, your mother
The concubine was grounded by her father, if you want to visit, I'm afraid it's not okay, I'm the same, I have no contact with Concubine Xi, if it's just a matter of being entrusted by someone to be loyal, send her something over, and those guards won't stop it, right? Even that Jin Concubine will not have many suspicions. Gu Yunxin smiled lightly.
The next day, Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue came to the palace to greet the Queen Mother. When I came to Funing Palace, I saw Mama Su coming out with a bowl of soup, and saw Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue coming together, as if she was seeing a savior.
"Two princesses, Jin An." Mama Su bowed.
"Mama Su is exempt, is this a soup for the emperor's grandmother? Why didn't you drink a sip? Gu Yunxin asked.
"Princess, the Queen Mother can't eat and sleep these days. The slave maid is really worried, can the two princesses help the slave and maid persuade the queen mother not to hurt her body. Mama Su said worriedly.
As for why the Queen Mother is like this, Gu Yunxin knows, but she didn't mention it to Zhan Xinyue, after all, this is a matter of the emperor's harem, and the fewer people who know, the better. What's more, the affairs of the emperor's harem are family matters for Gu Yunxin, but for Zhan Xinyue, it is not as simple as a family matter.
"Okay, Mama Su will go make a bowl of bird's nest porridge for the imperial grandmother, and add a few pieces of jade cake. My sister and I tried to persuade the Imperial Grandmother. Gu Yunxin smiled lightly.
"That's great, slave and maid." Mama Su smiled and walked away quickly.
The queen mother has been unable to eat lately, but it is really difficult for them to serve the people, if the queen mother has any damage, the emperor will definitely not be able to spare them. If Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue were able to persuade the Queen Mother to start eating, it would naturally help them a lot.
Walking into the main hall, I saw that the queen mother was leaning on the soft collapse, and there was a palace maid beside her who was beating her legs and rubbing her shoulders. Hearing someone step in, he raised his eyes slightly, "Why did you two girls enter the palace?" ”
"Grandmother Huang, the prince originally wanted to enter the palace to visit you, but he was entangled in military affairs, and he couldn't get out of it for a while, so he sent me to see you." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"He's got something to do, so let him be busy. There are people waiting for the mourning family. The Queen Mother said lightly.
"Imperial grandmother, I heard Mama Su say just now, you haven't been eating well lately, and you haven't been resting well, if your father knows about this, wouldn't you have to worry?"
"Huh, he's worried? He doesn't have me as the queen mother in his eyes now, I don't know if you have heard of this Jin Concubine suddenly being favored? The Queen Mother sat up and sighed.
"Well, just now on the way to Funing Palace, I heard the palace maids and eunuchs talk about it, saying that Concubine Jin's current favor in the palace surpasses everyone. I also heard that my father also grounded Concubine Xi because of Concubine Jin. Gu Yunxin frowned.
"But it's not, this emperor doesn't know what's wrong, he has become so confused, a child as young as the fifteenth prince, even if he hits Concubine Jin, it won't be anything, the emperor doesn't ask Qinghong
The indiscriminate grounded Concubine Xi, and the mourning family persuaded him, but he refused to listen. Seeing that the Queen Mother became more and more angry the more she spoke, Gu Yunxin understood that this Jin Concubine had provoked the anger of everyone.
The harem concubines are not afraid of being favored, but if the rules of the palace are broken because of this, it will not be tolerable.
Hearing this, Zhan Xinyue said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, this Jin Concubine has been neglected, how did she suddenly become favored?" The emperor is not such a person who doesn't care about the overall situation. ”
Originally, Zhan Xinyue wanted to say that the emperor is not such a lustful person, but if this word spreads, I am afraid that it will bring trouble to the entire Xiangyang Palace, taking into account the overall situation, it is a more appropriate word.
"Who said no, now no one can persuade the emperor, a few days ago, King Hui interceded for his mother, and was reprimanded by the emperor, and then he was not allowed to visit Concubine Xi. Even the fifteenth prince was sent to the queen to take care of him. The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
This kind of thing is also common in the royal family, and some low-ranking concubines are not qualified to raise the prince, and they are all sent to high-ranking concubines or queens to raise. Concubine Xi was grounded, and the emperor sent the fifteenth prince to the queen's palace, which was also in line with the rules.
To say that this queen is also a person with a son, she wants to support her son to become the prince, she should not be willing to help other people's sons in that position.
Just thinking about it, Mama Su walked in with hot bird's nest porridge and two bowls of dessert. Seeing that Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue were chatting with the Queen Mother, they put the food on the small table on the soft side.
"Queen Mother, you can eat some bird's nest porridge, no matter what, you have to think about your body, right?" After finishing speaking, Mama Su brought the bird's nest porridge to the queen mother.
The Queen Mother glanced at the bird's nest porridge lightly, but still didn't have the heart to eat it, Gu Yunxin took the bird's nest porridge from Mama Su's hand, scooped a spoonful and sent it to the Queen Mother's mouth, "Imperial grandmother, you can eat some, if the prince knows, but blame me for not persuading you well." ”
"Hehe, you girl, he is good to you, the whole Da Zhou knows, how can Yi'er reprimand you." The Queen Mother smiled and ate the bird's nest porridge fed by Gu Yunxin.
"Of course it will, the prince is good to Yun Xin, that's because Yun Xin didn't do anything wrong, if Yun Xin did something wrong, the prince would also reprimand him. The imperial grandmother was distressed and distressed, and ate bird's nest porridge and these jade cakes. Gu Yunxin said coquettishly.
"Okay, in order not to let you be reprimanded, the mourning family will eat something." After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother took the bird's nest porridge in Gu Yunxin's hand and ate it slowly.
When Mama Su saw that the Queen Mother was finally willing to eat, her hanging heart also fell. Sure enough, Princess Rui has face, and it is useless to think about it if others are so coquettish.
As soon as the Queen Mother ate the bird's nest porridge, she heard a eunuch outside the door singing loudly, "The emperor has arrived...... Concubine Jin drove to ......"
"Hmph, it's really a weasel who didn't have a good heart to give the chickens a New Year's greeting." The Queen Mother said displeased.
This weasel is natural
It's Concubine Jin, if you say that your son is a weasel, won't you even have to scold yourself?
When Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue heard the voice, they immediately stood up, took the emperor in, and saluted together, "See the emperor, the emperor is blessed with Jin'an, and Concubine Jin'an." ”
The emperor was also slightly stunned when he saw Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue in the Empress Dowager's palace, where would he have thought that there were still two juniors present today.
Since they are here, he can't drive people away, so he immediately straightened his face, "You two girls also have a heart, and you know that you are coming to visit the Queen Mother." ”
"Father, filial piety to the emperor's grandmother and father, this is what Yun Xin should do, the prince is busy with official business, Yun Xin wants to add the prince's filial piety together."
"Well, good boy. King Rui has been very busy lately, and he is also working hard in the army, so you have to take care of his body. The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Father, rest assured, Yun Xin will take care of the prince." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
As soon as Gu Yunxin's words fell, Concubine Jin stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Gu Yunxin's hand, "Yo, this is Princess Rui, she is really a first-class beauty, no wonder King Rui will not accept side concubines or accept rooms for the sake of the princess." ”
Looking at the smile on Concubine Jin's face, Gu Yunxin was really interested in this Concubine Jin......
