Chapter 87: My cousin enters the palace
"Your Majesty should be able to rectify Concubine Lin this time."
"Niangniang, there is news from the Guifei Palace, saying that the Guifei Niangniang is pregnant."
Jiang Wan was peeling oranges for a moment, and his cold eyes swept to the palace maid who sent the message, "What did you say?" ”
"Yes, it's the concubine Niangniang who is pregnant, and Your Majesty is guarding the concubine palace."
"It's none of your business, step down."
Jiang Wan then peeled the orange, put a petal in his mouth casually, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes when he bit it.
"Master, master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Jiang Wan crying, Ping'er hurriedly asked.
"Nothing." Jiang Wan swallowed the orange in his mouth, "It's just that this orange is too sour." After speaking, Jiang Wan ate another petal, and the tears did not stop.
Ping'er knew that Jiang Wan was just making excuses for her tears, so she didn't stop her, but said softly, "Master, the oranges are sour, let's not eat them." ”
"Well, I won't eat it."
Jiang Wan looked at the remaining orange in his hand, threw it on the coffee table, and stopped looking at it. Lin Yao is pregnant, Jiang Wan naturally knows what it means, that is to say, Lu Zhiye had pampered Lin Yao before.
He said those nice words, but his body was still an amorous species. Jiang Wan smiled bitterly, she should have seen it a long time ago, where would Lu Zhixing be able to be a couple for the rest of her life. Ping'er looked at Jiang Wan's sad appearance, silent, and asked which woman in the world could share her husband with others calmly.
"Concubine Lin Guifei escaped this time when she was pregnant, and I will have a way to deal with her in the future."
In the palace of the concubine, Lin Yao was lying on the bed, and Lu Zhixing was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her with a complicated expression.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been pregnant for more than a month, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, there is a successor."
"Your Majesty, the concubine has our child again, Your Majesty will forgive the concubine for the sake of this child."
Listening to Lin Yao's weak speech, Lu Zhixing stood up. "Since you are pregnant, take care of the baby, and don't leave the palace in the future."
Lu Zhixing gave Lin Yao a grounding order in disguise, but Lin Yao couldn't resist, so he had to nod and agree.
"The concubine obeys."
This autumn hunt was very fruitful, and Lu Zhixing sent people to spread the news in the capital. This is a sign of the country's prosperity and good weather, and it is precisely because Jiang Wan was brought with him this year that it appeared. The previous drought was also properly solved thanks to Jiang Wan's idea, and Jiang Wan improved social welfare, which benefited the people a lot.
For a time, it was rumored in the capital that Jiang Wan was a fairy descending to earth, bringing benefits to the people of Wei. And because Jiang Wan's grade is already the concubine of the third grade, some people began to take the lead in supporting Jiang Wan to re-ascend to the queen's throne.
"Niangniang, I heard that people outside the palace are now preaching that Niangniang will be the queen!"
Huan Yan inquired in the palace, and told Jiang Wan the news as soon as he got it. Jiang Wan was practicing female red, and she was not very happy to hear the news.
"It's just that the people are talking and playing, where will Your Majesty really seal the palace as the queen because of this."
Jiang Wan doesn't care about these things now, Lu Zhixing hasn't come to Changle Palace for the past few days. Xu was because of the child in Lin Yao's womb, which made Lu Zhixing stumbling. Jiang Wan looked at the work in her hand, when did she start, and she also complained like a real concubine of the deep palace.
Lu Zhixing did have some expectations for the child in Lin Yao's womb, after all, he had children for so many years, but none of them could be born safely. And he didn't spoil the concubines much, many of the concubines in the harem had to stay in the palace because of their family background.
He is only Jiang Wan who really has feelings, but although he has feelings, the royal family is also the most favored successor. As an emperor, he could not live without children. When Lin Yao gives birth to the imperial heir, both men and women will be raised by Jiang Wan, and Lin Yao still needs to be disposed of according to the rules.
"Your Majesty, the people outside the palace have been spreading the word recently, I don't know when Your Majesty will appoint Concubine Hui as the new queen?"
Lu Zhixing was in the imperial study when he heard Lu Zhiye push the door and walk in. There was obvious joking in Lu Zhiye's words, and he knew that those rumors of well-being were instigated by Lu Zhixing's faction. It seems that Lu Zhixing is preparing to re-establish Jiang Wan as the queen.
"Brother Huang."
Looking at Lu Zhiye's free and easy appearance, Lu Zhixing's heart was very guilty. He took his country, and now he has taken his beloved.
"Brother Huang, you really don't think about this throne anymore?"
"As long as you are willing, I can immediately write the Zen Decree, and this country should be yours."
Lu Zhiye smiled, I don't know how many times Lu Zhixing mentioned it to return the country to him, but it has already been justified in Lu Zhixing's hands, and he will never ask for it. The country is like this, and so is Jiang Wan.
"Your Majesty no longer has to feel guilty about your ministers, Your Majesty will rule the Wei State and the people of the country, and he is a rare Ming monarch."
"And although the minister once had a love for Concubine Hui, it is what the minister hopes the most to see His Majesty and Concubine Hui Niangniang being happy."
Although Lu Zhiye couldn't erase his feelings for Jiang Wan from his heart for a while, as long as he could see her happy, it was his greatest satisfaction.
"Brother Huang."
Lu Zhixing looked at Lu Zhiye, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth for a long time. Lu Ye is always such an immortal posture, never fighting or grabbing, and his character is not like a brother.
Just when everything was happy, the Xiao family suddenly challenged Lu Zhixing. The Xiao family sent a woman into the palace and hinted that Lu Zhixing could not be treated harshly. This woman is the cousin of Lu Zhixing and Lu Zhiye, Lu Ya's cousin, Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian's temperament is very rude, and he will only be obedient like a cat in front of Lu Zhixing. Lu Ya was also tricked by her when she was a child, and she has always avoided her like a snake and scorpion.
"Cousin, Mian'er came to the palace to accompany you, is my cousin happy?"
Since entering the palace, Xiao Mian has been pestering Lu Zhixing, and Lu Zhixing can't get rid of her. And Xiao Mianhe always likes to "surprise" Lu Zhixing, and Lu Zhixing's heart disease is about to be scared out in a few days.
"Xiao Mian, you honestly live in your flower pavilion and rest to disturb me again."
"Is my cousin angry with Mian'er?"
Xiao Mian began to have teary eyes after being coldly scolded by Lu Zhixing, and he spoke with a crying tone.
"The flower pavilion is too small and remote, Mian'er wants to live in Fengyi Palace, is it okay for my cousin to promise Mian'er?"
Xiao Mian's words made Lu Zhixing vigilant, could it be that the Xiao family saw this opportunity so they sent Xiao Mian into the palace. Thinking of the appearance of Xiao Yun in the previous autumn hunt, all this is much more reasonable.
The Xiao family originally wanted to produce another queen, but he had always been grateful that the Xiao family was his mother's family, so he had not been too restrained, but now he actually started the idea of imperial power.
"Xiao Mian, if you think the Flower Pavilion is small, I will let you go to live in the cold palace, which is very spacious."
"Mian'er is not too small, Mian'er will not go to the cold palace."
Xiao Mian panicked as soon as she heard that Lu Zhixing was going to beat herself into the cold palace, her original intention of entering the palace was to ascend to the throne of the queen and seek greater power for the Xiao family.
"Niangniang, there is a new young lady in the palace, and she still has something to do with Your Majesty."
"Oh?"
Huan Yan was passing information to Jiang Wan again, telling Xiao Mian about his entry into the palace and the past of the Xiao family and the royal family. Jiang Wan soon knew Xiao Mian's personality and the relationship between Xiao Mian and Lu Zhixing and others. These news that the original owner should know are not very clear in the memory of the original owner, which makes Jiang Wan very puzzled
"It seems that His Majesty's mother family wants to overstep the bounds."
"Huan Yan feels that the Xiao family is digging their own grave, and the current Wei State is no longer the Wei State that can't do without the Xiao family."
It turned out that the first emperor was able to ascend the throne precisely because he married Xiao Ruolian, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Xiao, and received the support of the Xiao family. And after Lu Zhixing ascended the throne, he successfully disposed of other princes, and the Xiao family also did a lot of work. Because of this, Lu Zhixing did not refuse the Xiao family to send people to the palace.
"Today, that Xiao Mian was still clamoring to live in Fengyi Palace, but he was threatened by His Majesty to go to the cold palace before he kept his mouth shut."
Huan Yan had a gloating smile on his face when he said this, but Jiang Wan didn't react. She was wondering why the Xiao family would send such a woman who had no brains into the palace, and she was not afraid of being swallowed by the whirlpool of the harem.
"This Xiao Mian may not be as simple as it seems, but the Xiao family sent someone, and the most disturbing person is the one who raised the baby in the Guifei Palace."
Jiang Wan was not ready to make a move, because naturally someone would clean up Xiao Mian for her. Because if Xiao Mian wants to be the queen, the child in Lin Yao's womb is also one of the factors in her competition.
"The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, so let the palace also be a fisherman."
"But when it comes to the Xiao family, there is actually one more thing, but it is about Prince Ye."
"Let's let Hongu hear about it."
Huan Yan told Jiang Wan about a past incident many years ago, which she had inadvertently heard from chatting with a few grandmothers before. At the beginning, Lu Yiye was robbed of the position of prince by the former emperor, and the reason why he left the capital in anger was not because he wanted to assassinate the emperor, but because of a woman.
"Women?"
"A woman from the Xiao family."
There is a woman in the Xiao family named Xiao Diemeng, who is a more partial branch of the Xiao family, and once when she followed her parents to the main house to congratulate Xiao Cheng on his birthday, she met Lu Zhiye.
Xiao Diemeng and Lu Zhiye fell in love at first sight, and they were even more affectionate in their later relationship. originally thought that Lang Qing and concubines would be a good story, but unfortunately it was always providence that made people.
Lu Yiye took Xiao Diemeng to the emperor and asked the emperor to give him a marriage. But who could know that the emperor did not agree, and sternly rejected Lu Yeye.
"Why did the emperor refuse Prince Ye, it stands to reason that the side of the Xiao family can also be regarded as the Xiao family."
Jiang Wan was very curious, if she felt that Xiao Diemeng's family background was not worthy of the position of the crown princess, then it would be okay for her to make a side room.
"People say that the first emperor pointed out the right family affairs to the prince of the night, and it was the prince of the night who refused to annoy the first emperor, but in fact it was not." Huan Yan sighed and continued.
The first emperor was actually not so unenlightened, and it was a good thing that Lu Zhiye could have a woman who was happy with each other. Moreover, Lu Zhiye also said that Xiao Diemeng agreed to be a side room, and the position of the crown princess was left to the family who could help Lu Zhiye.
But the moment the emperor saw Xiao Diemeng, it was the beginning of Lu Zhiye and Xiao Diemeng's sadness.
