Chapter 41: The Noble Concubine is Reset
?
After returning from Yanying Palace, what I recalled in my mind was nothing else, but Jiang Shouquan's sentence "The emperor has already chosen ...... in his heart" Who is this candidate, Jiang Shouquan is the closest person to the emperor, and he is also the person who is the most proficient in understanding the emperor's wishes, since he leaked the news, it is naturally true, and it is related to me.
I don't want to think about it, but I can't help but think about it again, this person must not be one of the young ladies of the family, otherwise he wouldn't say the word "early", then it is in the harem, thinking of this, I frowned, I don't want to be a queen, because once I become a queen, some things I want to get, I will never get it.
Late one night in March, I was sleeping soundly in the room, and dimly heard a sound outside, and asked what happened to the frost on duty at night, and the frost went out to see, and came back with the 'spring equinox', and said to me: "Niang Niang, it's okay, it's just that the small kitchen is running water!"
I was drowsy, so I ignored it and went back to sleep.
When I got up the next morning, when I was dressing up, I asked again: "What happened last night, didn't there be a rule in the small kitchen, no open fire, who broke the rules!"
'Chun'fen hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang's words, no one broke the rules, the blame is here, there was no open fire that night, but I saw a red light falling on it, and somehow it caught fire!"
"Yes. "I'm full of suspicions, although I think it's strange, but it's not good to ask, there must be a demon when things are abnormal, how dare I send it to the 'door' by myself, let people grab the handle, so I reminded the 'spring' equinox, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense about this matter, especially tell the people below, if anyone is talking nonsense, they will be sent to the court as a hard labor!"
"The slave knows the severity, so she will order it!"
But this matter still spread out, just a few days to close the palace to know, in the end had to invite the Taishi Bureau to come, who knew that Taishi Ling stood outside the Yaoguang Palace 'door' and looked, turned around, and happily shook me to the end, and said loudly: "Niang Niang is very happy, Niang Niang is very happy!"
My heart tightened, and I asked with a tense face, "Where does the joy come from!"
Tai Shi Ling said with a smile: "The red light of Yaoguang Palace is all over the sky, the purple qi comes from the east, and the mother's 'jade' Yan Cihe is like a fairy, which is an auspicious omen!"
At a glance, the faces of the palace people all appeared with joy, and some people whispered about the inexplicable fire that night, saying that the red light they saw with their own eyes at that time came, and there was a faint fairy spirit, and what they said was amazing.
I sneered, returned to the hall, and stood behind me in the 'spring' screen, and I asked her, "You say, whose person is Tai Shiling!"
'Chun' parted: "No matter who he was in the past, now, he is the emperor's person!"
"You mean, this is the emperor's order, and also, except the emperor's order, no one else wants this!"
'Spring' was puzzled: "Don't you really want to do it!"
I sighed and said, "If I really sit in that seat, I'm afraid I won't be able to have any more children in the future!"
"Why. "The 'spring' equinox was shocked.
I smiled bitterly and said, "The son of Concubine Rao can't escape their clutches, let alone the son of the middle palace, then, it's a serious son-in-law!"
'Spring' fell into silence, and after a while, he said: "But now there is no way, as soon as Tai Shi Ling spoke, within half a day, the whole palace will know about the auspicious things in the Niangniang Palace, and within one day, the entire court will know about it, and suddenly there is such a stubble at this juncture after the establishment, and everyone will think in that direction, so Niangniang can't escape and become the center of the whirlpool!"
After listening to her words, I was silent for a moment, looked into her eyes, and asked, "'Chun', do you want me to be the queen!"
She was stunned for a moment, first nodded, then shook her head, then smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I hoped before, but Niangniang is so cautious, let's follow Niangniang's wishes!"
I can feel her hope for me in this matter, she wants me to be the queen, maybe she thinks that as long as I become the queen, I can contain the Zheng family and get rid of her faster, but I am afraid of the posteriority, I want to have a child, but I am afraid that after having a child, I will disappear like a 'jade'.
Don't guess, someone will talk about me the next day.
The courtiers who went against Zhongshuling began to support me, I know, like the emperor, they fancy the benefits of my lack of family background and no heirs, but some people say that I am still young, and maybe there will be heirs in the future, so the political enemies of the person who said this said that it is not good for the middle palace to give birth to an heir, that is a concubine, and the matter of the heir is still quarrelling, and some people say that my 'leg' is sick, and the queen of the middle palace is a model for the harem.
In short, the appearance of my so-called auspicious rui did not stop the quarrel, but became powerful.
"Those courtiers know what is right and wrong, the officials they support are not in agreement with the political views they don't support, and the officials they don't support are not in agreement with the political opinions of the same subject or 'protégé' or teacher who they support, in short, what they care about is not who is the queen, but their own interests!"
I listened to Jiang Shouquan's 'brilliant' explanation with a smile, and I had to admit that what he said was reasonable.
"Ah, the old slave is really talkative, what are you talking about, please come in, the emperor is waiting. Jiang Shouquan sent me in respectfully, and I didn't bother to pretend anymore, so I stopped outside and walked in by myself.
Qiheng was rare not to approve the folding, but to wait for me behind the 'door', and when he saw me coming in, he came and took my hand and entered the inner room.
I felt like I had become a pillow 'medicine' to help him sleep.
When he woke up two hours later, I helped him get dressed and said, "It's always bad for the emperor to be like this, so let the imperial doctor take a look and prescribe 'medicine'!"
He said: "With you, what do I have to drink those bitter 'medicines'!"
"But it's not good to always turn day and night upside down like this!"
He looked down at me, a smile tugged at his lips, and said, "Yes, I won't invite you over tomorrow, let's go to your palace!"
I was stunned and said, "In this way, Sister Zheng won't be ...... there" These days, although he recruited me to Yanying Hall to accompany him during the day, he was at Zheng Zhaoyuan's place at night, but I heard Jiang Shouquan say that even if he was there, he would be a good night.
"Not for anything else, but for a good night's sleep in the future. He said meaningfully.
I kept my head down, not daring to look into his eyes, he seemed to be talking about it, but it didn't seem to be it, I didn't dare to ask, lest it would be related to the matter of the future.
I didn't ask, but he did.
"Tomorrow, I plan to restore the position of the Zheng family's concubine, but don't worry, I won't let you suffer her grievances again!"
I didn't answer, but I knew in my heart that the dust had settled!! Zheng family and the queen have no chance, otherwise, the concubine and the queen are only one step away, since the concubine can be restored, why not become the queen, I am not angry, the matter of the six princes, I am sorry for Qiheng after all, he wants to restore the Zheng family, but it is just a compensation that does not suit her own wishes.
On the second day in the court, Qiheng restored the position of Zheng's concubine, and the opponents of Zhongshuling gave him congratulations in court, but he was not happy, nor was he happy, but those political enemies were rejoicing, because they knew that the latter would not fall to Zheng's head.
"Cao Hong went to announce the decree, but when Zheng Guifei heard it, it was a concubine, not a queen, and her face immediately turned green, haha, and asked Cao Hong if she was 'wrong', and Cao Hong's face was not very good, but unfortunately the slave didn't see it with her own eyes, otherwise, it was really happy. Gu Yu said with a smile, and couldn't wait to clap his hands in the end.
Cao Hong laughed when I heard it on the side, I glanced at Gu Yu with a smile, and said, "Cao Hong is also called by you, and you don't call Cao Gonggong seriously!"
Cao Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said that he didn't dare to be, and said: "The slave has been 'serving' the province for so many years, how can he 'get it' wrong, isn't this a slap in the face of the slave, hehe, Sister Gu Yu doesn't need to be polite, in a few days, the little one should call you aunt!"
Gu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked him to call now, 'Chunfen' glared at her, and said to Cao Hong: "Father-in-law Lao sent the emperor's reward, father-in-law drink a cup of tea and leave!"
Cao Hong is a clever person, so he naturally knows the meaning of 'spring', and hurriedly said: "No, the slave has to go back to the emperor to reply, so I won't bother the mother and a few aunts, and the slave will retire!"
When he left, the 'spring' said to Gu Yu: "You don't want to be so big and small in the future, Cao Hong is a person in front of the emperor, like a 'fine', you don't feel it yourself, but you have offended him, it doesn't matter if you offend him yourself, it will affect the mother, what should you do!"
Gu Yu stuck out his tongue and whispered, "I know it's wrong, sister, don't always discipline me!"
I also laughed and said, "yes, don't be too restrained by her!"
'Chun' sighed: "Niangniang is always used to her, and in a few years, she will also be a member of her mother-in-law's family!"
Gu Yu's face turned crimson, and he snorted: "If you don't want to train me, you will arrange me, I won't tell you, if you want to marry, you will marry first!"
"I've decided to follow my mother for the rest of my life. "'Spring' said with a smile, but his eyes were looking at me.
I was about to say something, but I remembered that Shen Qi already had a wife, and even if he let 'Chun' go out of the palace, he would be helpless, so he didn't say anything.
Gu Yu began to hesitate and said, "I also want to stay and serve Niangniang......
'Chun'fen smiled and asked: "You stayed, what should General Huo do!"
Gu Yu's face turned even redder, he glanced at me timidly, and said hurriedly: "You, don't talk nonsense!"
I looked at them in amazement, although the 'spring' was smiling, but there was sorrow in his eyes, Gu Yu was shy and anxious, and wanted to explain to me, but he opened his mouth a few times but didn't know what to say, and he was so anxious that tears fell.
"Niangniang, don't listen to her, I ......"
I was 'lusting' and said: "Gu Yu, this was originally a good thing, but you have seen your 'Chun' sister, I don't want you to be the second her!"
"He, he's different," Gu Yu explained...... sobbing.
I sighed and glanced at the 'spring equinox', she looked like this, it was clear that she had fallen into a deep state, and I didn't even know when it started.
I sighed again and said, "Okay, I don't mean to blame you, now, I won't ask you, it's not too late to tell me when you think about it!"
'Spring' took Gu Yu down first, I was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when I was in Yangzhou, let Gu Yu go to 'fascination' Huo Qing, should it be from that time on...... Alas, I just hope that she will be safe and happy in this life, Huo Qing, don't let me down.
