Chapter Sixty-Nine: Upstart
The south gate has always been a place where those fallen out of favor or low-level palace ladies lived, and it was actually a humiliation to let Sheng Guifei, who was accustomed to living in gorgeous palaces, go there.
However, this humiliation is now less emotionally appealing to Sheng Guifei.
Because she has now lost her family and fallen from the clouds to hell.
Although victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, ten years ago, she won over Queen Wei and became the most noble person in the harem except for the queen mother, but when it was her turn to lose the party, it was not so pleasant.
Sheng Guifei straightened up, still with the pride of her former favorite concubine, and walked out without saying a word.
Empress Wei was inexplicable.
She didn't know what was going on, the direction of the wind in the palace suddenly changed, the fourth prince was about to die, Sheng Guifei was finished, and there was basically no one left in the Sheng family, but this did not prevent her from watching Sheng Guifei's jokes.
When Sheng Guifei went out, she couldn't wait to look at the Queen Mother: "Old lady, she is ......"
What the hell is going on? How did the Sheng family offend Emperor Jiaping to make Emperor Jiaping so angry?
She had already heard that Sheng Ge Lao had written a blood letter to Emperor Jiaping in the prison, and secretly sent it to his protΓ©gΓ©, but Emperor Jiaping was even more angry after reading it, and within a few days after that, Sheng Ge Lao died.
The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at her: "Where is Su Ri's prudence?" This is also something that can be inquired about? β
The relationship between Empress Wei and Emperor Jiaping was originally very bad, and if Empress Wei knew this secret again, I was afraid that Emperor Jiaping would feel even more awkward against her in the future.
The Queen Mother didn't intend to let her know, waved her hand and said coldly: "As the queen of the middle palace, there are many rumors in the palace now, and it is time to perform the duties of the queen well and manage the inner palace for the emperor, and Xiao Wu's body should also have more snacks." β
From then on, the fifth prince was the eldest son of Emperor Jiaping in the true sense.
His heart disease was caused by the fact that he was startled by Princess Jing'an's cat and fell from a tree and fainted, and then he was planted from a horse during a hunting and almost lost his life, and his body has always been very weak.
In the past, Concubine Sheng always got in the way and repeatedly prevented him from finding a famous doctor.
But now, there is nothing that can stop it, and it is important to cure the disease first.
Empress Wei didn't dare not care, her relationship with Emperor Jiaping broke down, and now she almost hates each other, she can't count on Emperor Jiaping who may abolish her at any time, so she can only care about the child.
She nodded, and immediately blurted out without thinking: "Speaking of which, didn't Xiao Wu say that this Zhu Yuan girl is his life-saving benefactor, and her life has also been seen by the Heavenly Master, saying that it is very suitable for Xiao Wu?" β
At the beginning, Huangjue Temple also gave the five princes a fate, saying that he had to be extremely fierce and hard, so he could hold it down?
But now Zhu Yuan's identity is indeed a little mismatched----- the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has never been concerned about the family, and there are many private women who have been drafted into the palace, but they still have to pay attention to some influences------ Zhu Yuan sued his father, why don't you be a side concubine?
The Queen Mother ignored what she said, she glanced at Empress Wei and reminded her: "The title of Marquis of Cheng'en, the emperor mentioned it to the mourning family just now, and the Ministry of Rites should be done these days." β
Empress Wei was struck by lightning.
Did she hear it wrong?
As a queen of the main palace, Empress Wei has always felt that she is probably the most aggrieved by no one before or since, because she has neither love nor family affection with the emperor, and she has no affection at all.
Emperor Jiaping didn't even bother to make face for her.
According to common sense, the queen's maiden family should have a graceful title, and the generous emperor will generally give the old man a title of Duke Chengen, the stingy one will give a Chengenbo, and the moderately generous one will generally give a Chengenhou.
In fact, at the beginning, the emperor did give it, and made Empress Wei's father the Marquis of Chengen.
It's just that after the death of Marquis Chengen, the Wei family made a joke about fighting for the title, and Emperor Jiaping not only put Empress Wei's two younger brothers who were fighting for property in prison and sent them to the army, but also asked for the title back.
The name is called to see the after-effects.
But this view has been observed for so many years.
Empress Wei didn't have much hope for her mother's family----- after all, she herself was not very competitive and couldn't get into the eyes of the emperor, let alone her mother's family.
But unexpectedly, there were two outliers in her mother's family.
One is Wei Minzhai, the son of her eldest brother.
One is Wei Shunhui, the son of her fourth brother.
These two people, a talented young genius, have shown extremely strong strength since they were young, and they dared to run to be soldiers at a young age, and they really walked out of a green road.
One is Wei Shunhui, because he has his back to the Sheng family, and he has gone very smoothly.
She subconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother, and asked with some trepidation: "What about ......?"
"It's time to send a congratulatory gift to my mother's house." The Queen Mother sighed a little: "Wei Minzhai will soon be the commander of Chengenhou and Jinyi Guard. β
It's amazing, it's really amazing, Gu Mingzhang couldn't help but praise him with his beard at home: "Wei Minzhai is really on the way this time, so young, but now he is already a first-class marquis, it's really ......"
It's really someone else's child.
Gu Chuanju's face was indifferent.
He just asked his father: "Is the Wu family's post down?" β
Gu Mingzhang nodded, thinking of this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little sad on his face: "What are you going to do?" β
"I didn't do anything." Gu Chuanyu no longer has the leisure he used to be, he said with a cold face: "Gongshun Hou is the uncle of the saint, the saint has given him a lot of face along the way, his daughter is the county lord, I married back, naturally I should treat it well." β
It's okay, it's okay.
It's just that the target's status is not as perfect as it was predetermined, but it's still useful.
This time it involves so much, Wu Shun can make them safe and sound, which shows Wu Shun's energy.
That being the case, it's a good deal.
However, before marrying Wu Shun's daughter, he still had one more thing to do, he looked at his father Gu Mingzhang and said, "Father, we still have one thing to do." β
Gu Mingzhang raised his eyebrows in confusion, he didn't know why he felt a little troublesome for his son to say this, he thought for a while, and tried his best to say to his son calmly: "If it's for the sake of a deficit, we can slowly think of a way......"
"That's not a problem." Gu Chuanyu looked at him: "It's Zhu Yuan." β
Gu Mingzhang didn't want to hear this name.
After all, every time I hear it, it's not a good thing.
However, Gu Chuanyu ignored his thoughts, and he said bluntly: "With what I know about her, she is not a person who knows proportion, and we have formed a bond with her." β
So?
