Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wooing
Hongru couldn't bear to glance at the two little eunuchs who were wailing under the board, although they had frightened themselves just now, they had not made a big mistake after all. Just as she was about to plead, a servant woman beside her quietly pinched her, suggesting that she should not act rashly.
"Hongru, fortunately, the people around you are still smart enough, otherwise you will have to suffer today." Concubine Yu smiled and said, "Concubine De really doesn't know what to do, even if you speak disrespectfully to her, it won't be her turn to discipline her, hmph, she thinks that the harem wants her to be the master?" This palace gave you this bad breath today, but in the future, you have to be careful when you speak, don't make trouble for yourself and Wuji. β
Hongru lowered his head suddenly, he was indeed a little impulsive today, and it didn't matter if he hurt himself, but if there was anything wrong with the fetus in his womb, it would be a big sin. "The mother's lesson is that the slave has written it down."
"It's all already in the royal jade, why do you still call yourself a slave?" Concubine Yu seemed to be a little unhappy, "According to the rules, you can call me my mother, and it's too angry to call me Niangniang." At this time, she completely lost the high shelf of the past, but she really had the appearance of a kind mother-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that Hongru had been severely beaten once, she would have almost been moved.
"Yes, Princess." Hongru said with a little shyness, "I really bothered the mother concubine just now,...... As soon as she said half of the sentence, she saw Rouping running in happily to report, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Seventh has brought a lot of gifts to Niangniang, and there is also a letter!" β
Concubine Yu was shocked in her heart, most of the letters that were traceless on weekdays were sandwiched in the excerpts presented to the emperor, and they were rarely sent so directly, is there anything important? Reluctantly squeezing out a smile, Xiao Shi ordered: "Let them bring things in, Rouping, what about the letter, take it to the palace to see." β
Red as a stunned eye saw Rouping hand the letter to Concubine Yu, although she wanted to know the content of the letter, but it was not good to ask for a look at it clearly, besides, maybe this was a secret between His Royal Highness's mother and son, she could only force herself to hold back her thoughts, and secretly looked at Concubine Yu's face.
Concubine Yu scanned the letter almost at a glance, her face changed, she didn't expect that her son had sent such a "good intention", if it weren't for Hongru's presence, she could hardly hold back the anger in her heart. However, Xiao is not a superficial woman like Concubine Lan, she understands very well that her son's feelings for her are only faint, and it is by no means a simple means to send gifts and letters so much, and the emperor must have also sent secret folds. Then, it may really make sense for him to persuade himself not to fight for the queen's throne, after all, it is very beneficial for him to have a mother who is the queen, and there is no reason to write a letter to stop it.
Concubine Yu put down the letter, and Rouping beside her hurriedly asked the eunuch to present things one by one. Although she was not very interested, the flowing gifts still made Xiao aware of her son's achievements in Fujian, and it was because of this that she had a new perspective on her son's advice. Xiao Shi glanced at Hongru beside her, only to see that she was curiously staring at the exquisitely crafted Xiyi or Dongyi things, but her eyes were extremely clear, obviously not greedy, it seems that this son is really lucky, he actually picked such a baby.
"Hongru, which of these things do you like, even if you open your mouth, they are all sent without a trace, presumably he also expected that this palace will reward you." Concubine Yu casually tucked the letter into her sleeve and pointed to the few new ornaments, "Those Yiren objects are the most pleasing to women, you can choose yourself." β
"Thank you for your kindness." Hongru hurriedly got up and saluted, although there were indeed one or two things that she liked, but her mind was almost entirely on the letter. Hongru, who has always been fine, looked at Xiao's initial unhappiness and then contemplation in his eyes, and he was already suspicious in his heart, but he couldn't ask because of his identity, so he had to put the question in his heart.
Among the shiny ornaments, there is no shortage of gold, jade, coral and jadeite, and Hongru just picked two or three pieces, and then put down his hand knowingly. She is not such a greedy for wealth and the like, and besides, she is in front of Concubine Yu, so it is naturally not good to be too presumptuous. After choosing, Rouping waved her hand slightly, and several eunuchs hurriedly covered the tray with yellow silk and placed it neatly on the table on the side, and then bowed and withdrew. A few rough little eunuchs struggled to carry the several bulky and large items, these things were still put in the treasury before Concubine Yu spoke, after all, there were many people in the palace, and there were many people with red eyes.
"No trace has also grown." Concubine Yu seemed a little confused, "This palace still treats him as a child, and it seems that he will be impressed in the future." This time, he also brought a lot of things to the other concubines, and he sent someone to send them to the palace when he met him, so as not to disappoint him. Hongru, since you follow him, you have to be more dedicated in the future, and this palace will entrust you with a traceless life. β
Hongru rarely heard such humane words from this noble lady, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and instantly came back to her senses. "Don't worry, the concubine has written it down." She bowed down, her expression full of determination.
In order to prevent encountering any difficult characters again, Concubine Yu sent Rouping to send Hongru out. She remembered the letter in her sleeve again, and her face suddenly became gloomy. After so many years of wish, it seemed that it was about to be fulfilled, and her son actually asked her to put it off, no matter what she couldn't accept. Suddenly, she remembered the inexplicable words of the emperor last time, and her heart suddenly felt cold. "The wall is down and everyone pushes it", is the emperor really still unbearable to abolish the queen? Xiao couldn't help but clench the letter, then take a gamble according to his son's words, anyway, the queen's illness is heavy, maybe she won't live long, and she can't make the emperor disgusted with his impatience.
The emperor had to admit that his seventh prince always brought some strange feelings, and when he received his son's detailed and almost wordy recital two days ago, Long Yan was so angry that he almost threw the paper, ink, pen and inkstone in the imperial study everywhere. One is angry at the killer's viciousness, the other is heartbroken with the queen's paranoia, and the third is extremely dissatisfied with Feng Wuxi's attitude. Although the entire compromises were only a statement of facts, without a personal opinion, the emperor still sensed a trace of resentment. He could understand that, after all, anyone who survived an assassination attempt would do so. What he couldn't bear was that Feng Wuxian poked himself in the heart again at this cusp moment.
However, Feng Wuxian soon did something that shocked him, and actually sent the recital of the Empress Bao to the emperor, although it did not spread all over the world, but almost all the civil and military officials in the capital heard about it, and the study that did not dare to slack off was sent to the emperor at the first time. In just a few days, there was such a big change in attitude that the emperor, as the only person in the know, had to reconsider this son.
The distraught emperor paced in the palace at will, and several guards were driven away, leaving only Shi Liushun to follow him. Walking around, Feng Huanzhao was stunned to find that he had actually come to Kunning Palace, after that anger, he had never set foot here again, thinking of the dead palace maid beside the queen and her later sorrow, the emperor couldn't help but sigh. The lord of the six palaces has fallen to the point where he is now, and it is indeed as Feng Wuji said, he is the name of the abolished queen and has the reality of the abolished queen, so there is no need to force each other. Shen Ruhai said that the queen may not survive the spring, so let her bring the title of the mother of the country.
"Your Majesty, ...... you" The sharp-eyed Shi Liushun couldn't help but feel his heart jump when he saw the emperor's eyes shining, and hurriedly and cautiously stepped forward.
"Forget it, go back to the Qinzheng Palace!" The Emperor glanced back at Kunning Palace again, then turned around and strode away. No matter what the previous relationship was, he really couldn't tolerate the queen repeatedly and repeatedly murdering his son. The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the He family, after all, it is a deep-rooted family, and if you act in a hurry, I am afraid it will be another mess.
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor." Although it was a late night visit, Hai Guanyu's spirit was still very good, he clapped his hands and praised as soon as he learned about Feng Wuxi's book, and at this time, seeing the emperor's peaceful eyes, he was even more convinced that the emperor had dispelled the idea of abolishing the queen.
"Hai Aiqing, I summoned you overnight, I guess you already know what it is for. Regarding the disposal of He's family, I don't know what foolproof plan you have? The Emperor asked without hesitation.
"Emperor Qi, although He Furong is guilty, his crime does not lead to death, and his family is judged in vain. If the emperor dissipates the idea of abolishing the queen, he should be dealt with leniently, after all, he is concerned about the face of the royal family. Hai Guanyu's face was calm, "As the emperor of a country, everything should be based on the community, and you can't be arbitrary!" β
"Does Hai Aiqing know what He Furong has done?" Emperor Tie said with a blushing face, "If you knew everything, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so calm." Shu wanted to be lenient, but he had no choice but to set this precedent, and after the Chinese martial arts, he would be even more unscrupulous, and the laws and regulations would be strict, and they could not be set by one person, nor could they be abolished by one person! β
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, does the emperor want to say this?" Haiguanyu said-for-tat, "Wechen really doesn't know He Furong's true sins, but Wechen knows that He's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and they have been in important positions for many years. The court situation is now at the time of ****, and the princes who have become adults are far away, once someone deliberately instigates the ministers, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. Wechen implored the emperor to think twice! β
"As a human monarch, you have to take care of the overall situation in everything, Hai Aiqing, you are still the same as back then!" The Emperor suddenly burst out laughing, "Speaking of which, He Furong is really well prepared, his eldest son He Mofei was still in the palace before my guards arrived, and then he actually disappeared. The same is true for the He family, there are a lot of valuables, and the fields and Zhuangzi far exceed the other courtiers, only the silver taels are only tens of thousands, and there is almost no silver ticket left, obviously either hidden by someone or taken away by He Mofei. You say, such a courtier who is very guarded against the monarch's father, disloyal and unfilial, I actually let him be a high-ranking official for so many years, I am really blind! β
"Your Majesty!" Haiguan Yu saw that the emperor was getting more and more excited, and he couldn't help but stop him.
"Okay, I know what to do, Hai Aiqing, it's a pity that your son Hai Congrui has no intention of inheriting your mantle, otherwise I won't have anything to worry about in a hundred years, can't you come and retire?" The emperor laughed at himself, "It's late at night, you will stay in the palace tonight, save the morning and come again, my Qinzheng Palace has never left outsiders, let's make an exception today!" β
"Wechen thank the emperor for his grace." Hai Guanyu bowed down deeply, "Weichen only hopes that Lingyun Sheji can be passed down from generation to generation, how dare he easily retreat?" β
