After the new year, Wen Qingzhu entered the palace to bring Wen Mingxuan back.

At the place where he left the palace, he met Mrs. Jingyuan, and Li Qing, who was still standing beside him, was wearing a big hat.

The maid beside her held her hand, looking weak.

Mrs. Jingyuan Hou stepped forward and asked gently, "Miss Wen, can you have a chat?" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought about it and asked Lu Tao to take Wen Mingxuan to the carriage first.

She walked up to Mrs. Jingyuan, bowed and said, "Madam." ”

Mrs. Jingyuan Hou glanced at the carriage behind her and proposed, "Why don't you let Young Master Wen go back first, and you can go to my Daohou Mansion to have a good chat?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly and politely refused: "Madam, there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, and there is not so much time for the time being, so it is better to make a long story short if Madame has anything to say." ”

Mrs. Hou reluctantly kept a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will make a long story short, I heard that Concubine Wan Niangniang agreed to let the King of Chu ask to marry the Wen sisters, and she has already met Wen Sanye, I don't know if Miss Wen knows about this?" ”

"Really?" Wen Qingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone sank.

Mrs. Jingyuan Hou covered her lips and chuckled: "Isn't it, Miss Wen is interested in going to the Hou Mansion to talk now?" ”

"No need." Wen Qingzhu still refused without hesitation.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Jiang Yuanhou, Wen Qingzhu got in the car and left the palace gate.

Mrs. Jingyuan Hou looked at her back as she left, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Hmph! I'm afraid you don't know the means of the concubine yet. ”

Finally, Mrs. Jingyuan Hou looked sideways and stared at Li Qing dissatisfied: "Let's go!" Now it's up to whom! Your stomach ......"

Li Qing was startled, and hurriedly said: "In the future, I will eat less, and I will definitely not let my stomach be obvious!" ”

"That's good, if this matter leaks out, this kid must be killed!" Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis also had a resentment in her heart.

Since King Ning didn't want to marry her daughter, why did he seduce and seduce her!

When I arrived at the gate of Xue's mansion, the carriage just stopped.

Before Xi'er outside could lift the curtain, she whispered: "Miss, Third Master Wen and Fourth Miss are here." ”

Wen Qingzhu thought of Mrs. Jingyuan's words, the corners of his mouth curled, and he got up and got out of the car.

Sure enough, I saw Wen Shuquan and Wen Qinglan waiting at the door.

When he arrived at the door, Wen Qingzhu asked with a smile, "Third Master Wen, Miss Wen, why are you here?" But what's the matter? ”

"Zhu'er, do you still refuse to forgive your father?" Uncle Wen's face was full of fake heartache, and he was supported by Wen Qinglan, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Wen Qinglan, who was standing on the side, wiped her tears in a timely manner, and said hypocritically: "Seventh sister, no matter what you say, your father has raised you so much, and you should always go back with Mingxuan during the New Year." ”

"Miss Four's words are wrong, it's not that I should go back, but I don't want to go back. Besides, why do you think I don't know? ”

Wen Qingzhu raised his chin and looked at them, only feeling ridiculous.

Seeing that Wen Qinglan was about to speak, Wen Qingzhu preemptively said, "Fourth Miss, you seem to be over eighteen years old this year, haven't you said anything yet?" Do you want me to introduce you? ”

"You-" Wen Qinglan blocked her throat, but in the end she endured it and did not refute.

But her hand under her sleeve tightened, thinking in her heart, as long as she entered the Chu Palace, who would dare to say anything!

"Let's go, I'm not going back." Wen Qingzhu took Wen Mingxuan and turned his head into the house, ignoring them again.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wen Qingzhu and Wen Mingxuan paid tribute to their grandfather's family at home.

Wen Mingxuan is a son, so he will naturally preside over it.

Looking at his younger brother who was maturing day by day, Wen Qingzhu was very pleased.

She picked up the ancient jade in her hand, and the cracked wound had been stitched up by Mother Ye.

At this moment, Xi'er's voice came from outside.

"Miss, General Fu has gone to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing."

Wen Qingzhu turned his head, asked Lu Tao to take the cloak, and quietly went out in the wind and snow.

In the heavy snow, Wen Qingzhu paid tribute to the lonely graves of his grandfather and grandmother.

Kneeling on the futon, Wen Qingzhu handed over the yellow paper money one by one.

The flames were like snakes and dragons, instantly burning the yellow paper money into ashes.

Green Tao stood behind her, holding an umbrella for her.

Even so, there were snowflakes that hit her face.

After burning the last handful of paper money, Wen Qingzhu looked at his grandfather's tombstone and said, "Grandfather, you wait, Zhu'er will get justice for you." ”

Leaving here, Wen Qingzhu went to the Lu family's tomb again.

Originally, this tomb was supposed to be buried under the ancestral grave of the Wen family, but the grandmother did not like it and insisted on not letting the Lu family enter the ancestral grave.

Wen Qingzhu felt that it didn't matter if he couldn't enter the ancestral tomb or not.

It's hard enough to live, so why die and go to the underworld to serve the Wen family.

Not long after leaving the cemetery, Jiang Yuancheng appeared in front of Imperial Physician Lu's grave.

Look at the ashes on the ground, which has been covered with a thin layer of snow.

"Does she also know that King Huai is going to make a move?"

"It should be."

Jiang Yuancheng turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that my imperial brother is really obsessed!" ”

At the beginning of the new year, Concubine Wen's son, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, made Jiang Yue very happy for a few days.

But the good times didn't last long, the emperor's eldest grandson smashed Empress Zheng's relics, and Jiang Yue sent someone to send the emperor's eldest grandson and Concubine Wen back to the Huai Palace.

In order to appease the emperor, Luo Chan offered a dance.

It imitates the drum dance of the demon concubine of the previous dynasty, and only those with a light body can dance this dance gracefully.

All of a sudden, Jiang Yuelong's face was very happy, and he wanted to give Luo Chan a promotion.

This matter was opposed by the eldest princess.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Luo's promotion is the same status as Concubine Li and Concubine Wei, the position of concubine, according to the laws of this dynasty, there are only two, is it possible that Your Majesty wants to crown her queen?"

Jiang Wuyang knelt in front of Jiang Yue, his back was straight, and he asked Jiang Yue righteously. 33 Listen to the book

In the banquet hall where there was laughter and laughter, there was suddenly a deathly silence.

The smile on Jiang Yue's face disappeared, and his right hand rubbed the luminous cup, his face was cloudy.

Wei Guifei sighed in her heart, and was about to come forward to persuade when He Wenru suddenly stepped forward.

"Father, the son thinks that my aunt is right, there are only two concubines, and now Wei Guifei and Li Guifei each occupy one, does my father want Concubine Luo to inherit the Qingning Palace of the Queen Mother?"

"Oh? Do you think so too? Jiang Yue put down the cup, shifted his gaze, and looked at Jiang Yuansheng, the king of Huai.

At this moment, Jiang Yuansheng couldn't wait to pull He Wenru down.

But he can't, at this time, He Wenru and him are one.

He had to come forward and explain: "Back to my father, the son didn't mean this, but the words of the princess and the eldest princess were not wrong. If Concubine Luo is promoted again, there will be no place for her. ”

"Really? What do you all think? Jiang Yue glanced at Wei Guifei and the others.

Concubine Wei, who was temporarily in charge of the phoenix seal, could only step forward and answer: "Your Majesty, in the harem, although there are indeed regulations for the grade of concubines, it is not impossible to change. ”

"Then tell me how to change the Fa?" Jiang Yue now feels more and more that Wei Guifei is still sensible.

Wei Guifei glanced at Concubine Luo and said: "During the Taizu period, there were three concubines who followed Taizu, but according to the law, only one queen and two concubines could be set. ”

The fact that the founding ancestor of the Great Qi Dynasty canonized the three noble concubines is known to everyone.

But that's because the three concubines all followed Taizu to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions.

It was not appropriate to choose anyone as the queen, so the three concubines were canonized.

Jiang Yue was silent for a moment, Luo Chan was just a Qing Qian who was snatched away by Li Du before entering the palace.

She was lucky enough to be in this position today.

Jiang Yue understood a little, and looked up at Concubine Luo: "I should have been promoted to concubine, but I can't give the position of queen, and the position of concubine is gone, so it's better to do this, I promise you a request, what can you ask for?" ”

"The concubine doesn't want anything, as long as she can be by His Majesty's side." Luo Chan walked to Jiang Yue's side and snuggled up to him, looking like a little bird, so well-behaved.

But this scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and it was another stormy wave.

In the end, Jiang Yue let He Wenru and Jiang Wuyang stay.

Jiang Yuansheng was overjoyed, and when he was about to say thanks, he heard Jiang Yue say: "The emperor's eldest grandson is frightened, so King Huai will go back and take care of it." ”

Jiang Yuansheng's breath stagnated, but he could only retreat.

When he turned around, he glanced behind him unwillingly.

Wait!

At the end of the banquet, Jiang Yue took He Wenru and Jiang Wuyang to Qianyuan Palace.

Concubine Luo stepped back in amusement and left them to speak.

After giving the seat, Jiang Yue looked at them: "If you have anything to ask, just ask." ”

He Wenru and Jiang Wuyang glanced at each other, Jiang Wuyang raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of abnormal cases in the capital recently, do you know?" ”

"How is it unusual?" Jiang Yue smiled, her sister, he still understands.

Unlike Concubine Cheng, she has a very straight temperament.

"The palace has found traces of the remnants of the Yue Kingdom." Jiang Wuyang watched Jiang Yue sit on the throne, and she knew exactly what his scheming was.

Even if he guessed that Jiang Yue might be taking advantage of it; Concubine Luo, confuse some people.

But today's approach is too excessive.

Jiang Yue nodded: "Well, they were sent to the capital by General Lu by me." ”

Listening to their chat, He Wenru suddenly thought of Jiang Yuansheng's frequent outings recently.

On several occasions, I also brought back a few strangers.

Unlike ordinary doorman friends, these strangers wear hoods and masks, and only show a pair of eyes.

This made her heart very uneasy.

"Princess Huai!"

Jiang Yue's voice interrupted her contemplation, and He Wenru hurriedly raised her head: "Your Majesty." ”

I saw Jiang Yue looking at her with a smile: "What's wrong with King Huai recently?" ”

"This ......" He Wenru was difficult to decide for a while.

She looked at Jiang Yue's expression, this look was too familiar to her.

The emperor must have known what King Huai was quietly preparing, but he came to ask her alone.

The father is dead, and only two brothers are left in the He family to support the court.

Suddenly, her and Jiang Yuansheng's beautiful past flashed quickly in front of her.

But in a flash, all the good things were shattered.

What appeared in front of me again was the cold corpse of my father, and the tragic state of my two miscarriages.

Jiang Yuansheng's love for Concubine Wen's children is already there.

After closing her eyes, He Wenru finally made a decision.

She stood up, knelt in front of Jiang Yue, and said word by word: "Father, King Huai is indeed abnormal. ”

"Say." Jiang Yue also felt a little bad in his heart, some was happy and some regretful.

Fortunately, he and the daughter-in-law selected by the queen are loyal and patriotic, and can sacrifice everything for the sake of righteousness.

It's a pity that a person like He Wenru can be a good queen, but she is not destined to be a good wife.

He Wenru elaborated on all the anomalies in the Huaiwang Mansion.

Jiang Wuyang, who was sitting, became more and more frightened the more he listened.

But she found that Jiang Yue's expression had hardly changed, so she slowly felt at ease.

It seems that the emperor should have known all this a long time ago.

After He Wenru finished speaking, Jiang Yue raised his hand: "Well, I know, you can stay in Qingning Palace to accompany Xiao Jiu for the time being." ”
