Chapter 40: Concubine Cheng Falls Ill (1)
"Your Majesty, Princess Cheng handed over the text and came in today to ask to see Concubine Cheng, and now the sedan chair has arrived at the gate of the palace." The dark guard appeared silently, leaving a word and disappearing silently.
"Keep an eye on them."
"Yes."
In this eventful season, the Cheng family also has frequent contact with people in the harem, which is not a good sign.
"What? Father is still thinking about sending Cheng Mengyao into the palace? Is he really confused? Cheng Guifei listened to her mother's relay, and was so angry that she almost fainted.
Seeing this, Princess Cheng fell directly to her knees.
"Mother, what are you doing here?! Ning Cui, help the princess up. Princess Cheng couldn't take care of being angry now, and hurriedly asked someone to help Princess Cheng up.
"I don't know where the rumors came out, saying that the emperor didn't choose the daughter of the family to enter the palace because I didn't respect Concubine Xian Niangniang, the family education was not strict, your father was angry, and he had forced me several times, if I didn't want to send the daughter of the Li family into the palace, he would marry Mengxi to the desolate place of the border, and I really had no choice but to enter the palace to ask for the concubine."
Princess Cheng's anxious tears and snot flowed down her face, Cheng Mengxi was her heart's meat, she was reluctant to marry into a powerful family in the capital, let alone marry to the desolate land of the border pass and suffer, Lord Cheng choked her life this time, forcing her to enter the palace to intercede.
"Mother, you are confused, Mengxi is also my father's own daughter, even if he is willing to let his sister suffer, but how can a face-loving person like my father marry his daughter and make people laugh?" If you care, you will be in chaos, and Princess Cheng is in this situation now.
"Niangniang doesn't know, yesterday the prince had already written a letter to General Hu Qingyang, who was guarding Qingzhou, saying that he was willing to marry Mengxi to him as a concubine, that Hu Qingyang has a wife and six concubines, Mengxi's temperament is not bullied in the past, it's strange that you don't want to bring Cheng Mengyao into the palace today, the prince will send the letter out, Niangniang, you can save Mengxi."
If it weren't for Cheng Mengxi's marriage in the hands of Prince Cheng, or if Princess Cheng was killed, it would be impossible for her father to ask the eldest daughter for the daughter of a concubine.
After all, Cheng Mengyao entered the palace, and it may threaten the status of the eldest daughter.
"Mother, you get up first, if I can do anything, I naturally won't watch my sister suffer, how many people in the harem are staring at me to find my fault, and now if I take Cheng Mengyao into the palace, wouldn't it be a yin to tell everyone that I was close to Your Majesty? Is it a great sin to seduce you? "There's nothing she can do in this situation.
She also didn't believe that her father would really send her little sister to the border, otherwise how would Prince Cheng hold his head up in front of other powerful families in the future.
Although Hu Qingyang is also a second-grade border general, but the concubine of the prince is actually a concubine, this alone is enough to make people laugh off their big teeth.
"Niangniang, but if Mengxi marries Qingzhou and sends a sheep into the tiger's den, you can't see death and not save it!" Princess Cheng loves her daughter so much that she can't listen to Concubine Cheng's words at all.
"Mother, why aren't you white? Dad is just using the little sister to threaten you, he can't really send the little sister to Qingzhou. ”
Facing her emotionally uncontrollable mother, Concubine Cheng is really a headache.
Has she been guilty of any rush lately? Why is everything coming for her!
"Niangniang, the courtier's whiteness is extremely unfair to Niangniang, but Mengxi and you are compatriots of the same mother after all, please help her for the sake of flesh and blood, courtiers beg you!" Princess Cheng saw that Concubine Cheng refused to let go, and suddenly began to kowtow non-stop.
