Chapter Seventy-One: The Annunciation of the Concubine

Just as Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Yilian were whispering below, the queen's lecture above was also over for a while, and the banquet was carried out in a festive and peaceful atmosphere, and the second and fourth children performed very well, as if there had never been any unhappiness between the two before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiao Yixuan was most tired of this kind of boring banquet, and finally stayed up patiently for half an hour, and the banquet was finally coming to an end, and just as the queen was about to give the order to disperse, the concubine on the side cleared her throat and spoke: "Sister, wait a minute, my sister sees that people are rare to come neatly today, so I think I want to announce a happy event, I don't know what my sister thinks?" ”

"Oh? Wedding? ”

The queen smiled when she heard this, nodded and responded: "It's a family banquet, how can there be a reason not to let people talk?" Sister, but it doesn't hurt to say! ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

When the words fell, I saw Concubine Zhen cover her mouth and smile, turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yixuan, the second son of the son in the seat, and then faced everyone in the audience, and continued to speak: "My son Yiquan, although he is stubborn by nature and sloppy, but it is inevitable that he should be at the age of starting a family. ”

"Is that so?"

"Oh, my good sister, you hide such a big thing deep enough, how can you have no warning at all!"

"Congratulations!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet field immediately became lively, and several princes did not react much, at most they looked at each other, and on the other hand, the concubines were happy again and again, and after a while, with a few light coughs from the queen, the chatter of this group of women finally subsided, and then I heard the queen smile and say: "Sister, why haven't I heard you tell me about this?" Even His Majesty's side, there is no news... ”

"Oh, sister, what has Your Majesty been busy with in the past two years, you don't know what! Speaking of which, about this matter, my sister and I can be regarded as improvising, this is not watching the prince and the third prince get married one after another, and I am also anxious! That day, I happened to think of this matter when I was asking for peace, and when I said it, His Majesty was very happy when I heard it, but in recent days, it has coincided with the critical moment of cultivation, and I can't spare too much time, so I didn't deliberately summon everyone, oh, speaking of which, this kind of thing is indeed something that should be reported to your sister, but I was too busy a few days ago, and I forgot about it, until I remembered it, this is really inappropriate, and my sister shouldn't blame my sister, right? ”

Concubine Zhen smiled leisurely, although she said sorry, but looking at the tone of expression, there was no sense of apology, it stands to reason that the queen, as the master of the harem, no matter how big or small, but she must report to her in detail, especially the prince's wedding, according to the original process, even should be reported to her first, and then she will pass the word to the emperor, and Concubine Zhen is obviously overstepping the level by doing this.

In fact, the reason why Concubine Zhen behaved like this is not very surprising.

As the saying goes, if there is a son, there must be a mother, and this concubine is no exception, don't look at this person who looks quiet and quiet in appearance, but in fact, in private, she is a spicy and arrogant woman, since entering the palace, she has been on the wrong path with Queen Chan Suer, and she wants to usurp the queen's position, which is an open secret.

In addition, on the background of power, she is not better than the rest of the concubines, not to mention that her father is the founding of the country, and her mother's family is a huge wealth in the previous dynasty, from the time when Emperor Xiao Tianjing raised troops to seek the world, she funded and supported the huge military expenditure of grain and grass for the former, which can be described as a well-deserved super hero, even today, his mother's position in the business community of the Dayue Dynasty is also the first place to be stable, unshakable, and its wealth rivals the country!

After talking about her father's generation, let's talk about her three elder brothers, they are Yin Ke, the head of the household department, Yin Ce, the left inspector of the Inspectorate, and Yin Ce, the commander of the Tongzhi Yin Jian, these three are all powerful figures in charge of their own affairs, plus the connections of their fathers, the financial resources of the maternal line, and finally the power in their hands and the name of the concubine and the second prince, all the resources are gathered together, and they are used by them to call friends and call the party, recruit ministers, and in the past few years, they have really gathered a great force in the court. It has even reached the point of competing with the two prime ministers of the current dynasty!

Therefore, with such a force firmly erected behind him, this concubine really has no reason to be afraid of the queen!

"It's okay, preparing for marriage is a troublesome matter, not to mention that it's not too late for my sister to speak now."

In the end, the queen finally laughed, responded to Concubine Zhen's words, and then hastily dispersed the banquet.

Regarding Concubine Zhen's disrespect, the surrounding concubines naturally pretended to be stupid, as if they were completely unaware, and the queen, who was the party concerned, also knew that she was bitter.

It's just that her suffering is not hindered by the other party's power, but is just because of her gentle heart.

In fact, if you only talk about power, then Concubine Zhen is indeed okay, but when it comes to brains, she is just a young lady who has been spoiled by her family.

In fact, this kind of thing, as long as a clear-eyed person, can clearly understand that if a concubine with a huge family and a mother who is deeply favored by the emperor, the mother of the prince, and the queen of the world tear their faces, who will win in the end.

In the final analysis, no matter how great the power of your minister is, even if you cover the sky with one hand, it is also given to you by the emperor above, since you are the minister of Dayue, without the emperor's grace, then it is nothing, but it is ridiculous that Concubine Nazhen has always thought that she has the upper hand, but she doesn't know that the reason why she has been arrogant and carefree over the years is actually just because of Chan Suer's kindness.

It's just that Chan Suer's heart is so good, but the people around her don't think like this.

After the banquet was over, the concubines and princes left one after another, Xiao Yixuan came to the queen's side and said in an unkind tone: "Queen Mother, how long are you going to put up with her?" ”

The queen naturally understood what her son was talking about, so she shook her head and smiled indifferently, and said, "How can you say that you put up with her?" After all, they are all a family, and they have lived together for so long, and I also know her temperament, even if she is more perverse on weekdays, it won't affect anything, so let her go, it's better than tearing her face, which makes everyone unhappy. ”

You said it nicely, but the problem is that she taught a good son, but it really affected me badly!

Xiao Yixuan couldn't help muttering in her heart when she heard what her mother said, and then continued to persuade her: "Mother, don't say that, as the saying goes, wicked people love to pinch soft persimmons, that concubine, no matter how you look at it, she is not a person who knows people well, blindly forbearance like you is not a way after all, according to Erchen, it is better to find an opportunity to beat her well!" ”

"Don't talk about this, I know it for my mother."

When the words fell, I saw the queen shake her head and smile, stretched out her hand and gently supported Xiao Yixuan's arm, and changed the topic: "Good emperor, it has been a few days since you got married, how are you doing in this small life in the East Palace?" ”

Seeing the posture of the queen, Xiao Yixuan knew that the other party would not listen to her persuasion, so she sighed in her heart at the moment, and then reluctantly replied to her question: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the emperor has been quite comfortable these days." ”

"Your crown princesses, are they all satisfied? What do you get as an adult that night? ”

Although the queen's words were vague, Xiao Yixuan immediately understood the meaning of the words, and her face turned a little red: "Eh, this, naturally satisfied!" ”

"Humph! You are comfortable, but your mother's heart is about to be blocked! ”

Xiao Yixuan originally wanted to fool the past, but the queen's face changed at this time, and said: "I heard that since your wedding, you have not left any crown princess, but you have been hanging out with the guests surnamed Mu all day long, what are you thinking in your mind?" Do you know that my mother is still thinking about it day and night, waiting to hold a grandchild? ”

“。。。。。。”

Next, Xiao Yixuan was bombarded by the queen for a long time, and after a few quarters of an hour of speech, he reluctantly convinced the queen that he had nothing to do with Mu Jingjing, and when he finally came out of Yipinge, it had been a full hour.

"Brother Huang! Over here! ”

As soon as Xiao Yixuan walked out of the gate, he saw Xiao Yilian who was sitting upright not far away and waved to him, and stepped forward to step on the horse that had been prepared for himself with a long sigh of relief, and then he complained: "One seat down and one seat, at the end of this day, nothing can be done, and everything is wasted to drink and eat!" ”

"Hehe, brother understands that the emperor has worked hard, this time it should be for my good!"

The next moment, I saw Xiao Yilian grinning, clasping his fists and saying: "Speaking of which, this time the imperial brother gave my family Yue'e a long face, and the credit is credited to the minister's brother, and she should finally be better to my brother and me, so she won't sleep on the floor anymore... ”

As he was talking, Xiao Yilian ordered his subordinates to start marching, the Golden Toad Lane is in the west market of the capital, and it is still quite a distance from here, so now they got up immediately, and it is estimated that when they get there, they will have to be close to eating.

"Quack--- quack---"

Xiao Yilian and Xiao Yilian walked side by side on the horse, and when they passed through an alley, they suddenly heard a crow's cry, which made Xiao Yilian frown: "Where did the crow come from in broad daylight?" It's really unlucky! ”

When the words fell, Xiao Yilian shook the reins in his hand, thinking about leaving here as soon as possible, but heard Xiao Yixuan say: "Wait! ”

"Brother Huang?"

Xiao Yilian was puzzled, and saw that Xiao Yixuan actually got off the horse, handed the reins to the guards beside him, and said to Xiao Yilian: "You wait for me here for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”

Xiao Yixuan's face was cold when he said this, and Xiao Yilian, who was familiar with him, immediately understood that the other party must have something serious to do, and it was inconvenient for everyone to ask more, so he nodded and let him go.

Looking at Xiao Yixuan again, he only led Liu Wengui and a few guards to accompany him, and went straight into the deep alley, and walked straight for a while, only to see that at the end of the alley, a man in gray clothes was waiting here, and as soon as he saw Xiao Yixuan appear, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Wu Ming, grass people, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
