Chapter 283: Break into the Palace!
Queen Wang is the middle palace, ruling the six palaces, governing the harem in an orderly manner, and having the Empress Dowager Li to support her, even the emperor must be respected! It can be said that in this harem, no one can shake her status, even the Zheng family, who favors the harem. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But under the glamour, Empress Wang is not without weaknesses, at least in terms of influence on the emperor, she is not as good as the Zheng family in any way, and more seriously, she also has her own weakness, this weakness is Princess Zhu Xuanyuan of Rongchang.
Strictly speaking, this is the emperor's first child, earlier than Zhu Changluo was born, and not only the eldest daughter of the emperor, but also the eldest daughter of the emperor from the main palace, if she is born as a man, it will be a sure and undoubted candidate for the crown prince.
But it's a pity that Princess Rongchang is a girl, and since then, Queen Wang has never had any children, which is why there is today's national dispute.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that if Zhu Changluo is not mistaken, his half-sister is one year older than him, and now he is sixteen years old, according to convention, it is the age of getting out of the cabinet and getting married.
And generally speaking, an unmarried princess will not have her own title, and Princess Rongchang's title was announced to the world half a year ago, that is, the emperor also intends to choose a son-in-law for her.
It's just that what Zhu Changluo didn't expect was that the Zheng family would make a fuss about this matter......
"That Zheng family used rhetoric in front of the emperor, and the emperor who instigated it intended to give Rongchang to the nephew of her own family, and what did she say about kissing and kissing!"
Yun Niang said angrily.
"Zheng Wenshan?"
Zhu Changluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a name that was thrown in the corner jumped out of his heart.
"Yes, Your Highness, the Zheng family is planning to give Rongchang to that person who is called Zheng Wenshan, but what kind of virtue this gentleman is, His Highness should know best, not to mention the wandering around the Chu Pavilion in the Qinglou all day long, he is one year younger than Rongchang, but there are already two concubines in the family!"
Yun Niang and Queen Wang are like sisters, she has never been married in her life, and she almost treats Princess Rongchang as her own daughter, so she is naturally very excited when she talks about such a thing.
"And the most important thing is that Zheng's younger brother, Zheng Wenshan's father is the most lustful and greedy for flowers, none of the maids in his house have escaped his poisonous hands, and even Zheng Wenshan's two concubines are not clear with him, doesn't this push Rongchang into the fire pit?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the Zheng family and the emperor, I only see the benefits of marriage!"
Zhu Changluo snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice.
For the Zheng family, the benefits of marriage are obvious, Princess Rongchang is the only daughter of Queen Wang, marrying her is equivalent to bringing Queen Wang over, whether Queen Wang wants it or not, it is impossible for her not to think about her daughter, so it is not impossible to turn to Zhu Changxun in the battle for the country.
And for the emperor, his biggest headache is that the Zheng family is very disgusted by his own mother, and coincidentally, the queen is very much loved by the Empress Dowager Li, if the two families can marry, maybe it will improve the relationship between the Zheng family and the Empress Dowager Li, even if it doesn't work, it can also increase the chances of winning for his precious son Zhu Changxun, why not?
However, according to this line of thought, things are much clearer, the Zheng family took Princess Rongchang, and Queen Wang naturally threw a mouse trap......
"Of course the queen didn't agree to this matter, so the first time she got the news, she had a big quarrel with His Majesty, and the emperor was furious and grounded the mother in Kunning Palace, and then never returned to Kunning Palace......"
Yun Niang sighed and continued.
Zhu Changluo doesn't have to guess the next thing to know, Empress Dowager Li went out of the palace to pray for the emperor, which means that the queen's biggest backer is gone, and after the queen is grounded, the power in the palace naturally falls into the hands of the Zheng family, after all, in this palace, in addition to the queen, she has the highest position.
"Then you are ......"
Zhu Changluo looked at Yun Niang and asked with some doubts.
Even if Empress Wang is grounded by the emperor, she is the lord of the six palaces after all, and it is impossible for even Yun Niang to be unable to protect her, but even she was assigned to the Huanyi Bureau, obviously there is something else.
"Your Royal Highness, Rong Chang is the royal concubine after all, her status is noble, and her marriage cannot be directly decided even by the emperor, not to mention that the queen's operation in the harem over the years has not been useless, so although the emperor was furious, the matter was put on hold.
It's just that the emperor doesn't mention it anymore, but the Zheng family doesn't give up, and goes to the Kunning Palace every day to persuade the mother, but the slave and maid can't see it, and after saying a few more words, they ......"
Zhu Changluo shook his head, he should have known that Yun Niang's temperament was much stronger than that of Queen Wang, and Queen Wang might be able to deal with this kind of thing indifferently, but Yun Niang would definitely not be able to do it.
And the Zheng family can't help Queen Wang, but the power of the harem is in hand, and it is effortless to deal with Yun Niang.
Walking here, he arrived in front of Kunning Palace, but what Zhu Changluo didn't expect was that he actually saw an old acquaintance here.
"Qin Xiaoyu?"
Looking at the commanding figure in Kunning Palace, Zhu Changluo was in a trance for a while, and slapped his head.
He should have thought that Qin Xiaoyu, as the Zheng family's favorite palace maid, was assigned to the Huanyi Bureau at the beginning, but he was able to bring Yun Niang out of the Huanyi Bureau, and the Zheng family must have a way to rescue Qin Xiaoyu, not to mention, now that Queen Wang is grounded and Empress Dowager Li is not there, she can be said to be the king and hegemon in the harem.
At the same time, Qin Xiaoyu also caught a glimpse of the mighty team of people in front of Kunning Palace, and walked out of the palace gate with a few palace maids to find out, but happened to see Zhu Changluo's smiling face, and immediately took two steps back in a panic.
"Brother...... Brother......"
"Qin Xiaoyu, long time no see!"
Zhu Changluo grinned and spoke, but Qin Xiaoyu clearly heard the cold breath of Sensen, this face had appeared countless times in her nightmares, she cursed the person in front of her viciously day and night during the suffering in the Huanyi Bureau, but when she really met, she found that all she had left was fear, and even her teeth were chattering.
"This king really regrets that he didn't let the queen mother kill you directly, and kept you until today......"
Looking at the deserted Kunning Palace, Zhu Changluo's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice.
Now that it has passed the winter, he is wrapped in cotton clothes, but there is no earth dragon rising in this Kunning Palace, it is very cold, only in the middle of the main hall, the place where Qin Xiaoyu and others sat before was lit with a stove, you don't have to think about it, you know, this must be the masterpiece of the Zheng family, and this Qin Xiaoyu must have played a big role in it.
However, his voice of this king woke up Qin Xiaoyu, and she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was no longer the prince in the deep palace, and he was going through the title of prince, and the prince under the system could not enter the palace casually, His Majesty had been staying in Changchun Palace for the past few days, and if Zhu Changluo was summoned to meet her, he would definitely mention it to Niangniang, but she didn't hear any rumors, so she could only explain ......
He snuck in!
And with such fanfare, it must have alarmed the guards in the palace, and if he recruited the concubine Niangniang, a charge of trespassing in the palace would be enough for him.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Xiaoyu's heart suddenly added a lot of courage, and the resentment in his heart overpowered the fear, and he said coldly.
"Where did you come from......
"Smack"
With a crisp voice, a slap was thrown heavily on Qin Xiaoyu's face, pain and humiliation intertwined, making her feel as if she had returned to the scene in Gyeongbokgung Palace two years ago......
And Zhu Changluo rubbed his wrists, his face was cold.
"It seems that these two years have passed, and the Zheng family still hasn't taught you how to speak, so today, this king will continue to teach you how to behave in this palace......"
As soon as the words fell, seven or eight chamberlains stepped forward and controlled Qin Xiaoyu and several palace maids beside her......
