Yuan Qingling was also puzzled, "Concubine Xian is grounded now and has no contact with the outside world, how did she ask the people of the Su family to go out and spread rumors?"

Why didn't the people of the Su family listen to the Queen Mother, but to the virtuous concubine?

And, what good is it for them when they say that? ”

Moreover, Concubine Xian is making trouble like this, it will do more harm than good, and she is actually not a stupid person, right?

Moreover, the emperor decided to raise the status of a businessman, but he made up such a faction outside, which was not conducive to the court buying people's hearts.

"Concubine Xian has been in the palace for many years, how can there not be a few credible people around to help her convey her meaning?

The Su family doesn't listen to the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother cares less about the Su family, but Concubine Xian has been working for the well-being of the Su family, and now that the fifth child is the prince, Concubine Xian's future is unlimited, and the Su family must be stuttering, as for why Concubine Xian is opposed, can't you think of it? ”

After Princess Anfeng finished speaking, she looked at her.

Yuan Qingling hesitated, "Is it because she looks down on businessmen?" ”

Princess Anfeng said: "This is just one of them, she must look down on businessmen, the princess married a market businessman, this is a slap in the face of her, now the princess to be married is not only Yu Wenling, she thinks that the emperor can choose other princesses to marry."

And the biggest reason is that since the crown prince was canonized, she has not only not been promoted, but also grounded, how can she be willing?

But even the crown prince and you don't support her, don't help her, she wants to fight this turnaround battle, and only the princess's marriage can make her justifiably intervene. ”

Yuan Qingling was so little by Princess Anfeng, and immediately understood, "So, her ultimate goal is not to stop this family business, but to use such a family business as a threat, she wants to be promoted to a position or some other real power, and the Su family helps her, and because of this, only if she is promoted to a position and has real power, can she benefit from the Su family." ”

No wonder, she told the fifth child that it was okay if she didn't make trouble, but if she wanted the fifth child to make the Su family stronger, she and the Su family supported each other, and the Su family was strong, so she could put pressure on the emperor to promote her position, and if she was strong, she could help the Su family.

She didn't even believe in her own son, she only believed in the Su family.

Therefore, in the end, this matter is for herself and the Su family.

Yuan Qingling had heard a lot of stories about the Brother Demon and the Phoenix Girl in modern times, but when he really came into contact with it, he felt that it was so terrible that he could even ignore his own children.

"So, you went to Qingyu Palace?"

Yuan Qingling asked.

"That's right, she opened her mouth to ask for the position of imperial concubine, saying that she deserved it."

Princess Anfeng said lightly.

Yuan Qingling was speechless, that's right, if according to the rules of the promotion of this concubine, before the fifth child was named the prince, she was already a concubine, and the fifth child was canonized as the prince, it is said that she will be promoted to a concubine or an imperial concubine, this dynasty stipulates that there can be two concubines in the harem, and she asks for the position of the imperial concubine, which is to press the concubine.

Yuan Qingling's heart was half cold, "In other words, she has to make trouble?" ”

"She can't actually affect the emperor's decision, but it can affect her own life and death, and at the same time affect Leng Yan's reputation."

Yuan Qingling was really unspeakably sad in his heart, not for anyone, but for the fifth child.

If something happened to Concubine Xian, the fifth child would definitely feel uncomfortable.

No matter what, in the end, it is the biological mother.

Yuan Qingling didn't think it was so complicated, but he also knew that the emperor's purpose in marrying the princess to the fourth master was to win over businessmen and vigorously develop the economy.

She began to think that Concubine Xian had to compromise in the end, at most she yelled two more times in Qingyu Palace, who knew that she actually asked the people of the Su family to go outside to make trouble first, probably this time even the emperor underestimated Concubine Xian, right?

In this way, the life and death of Concubine Xian can almost be decided, no wonder the Queen Mother urgently invited Princess Anfeng back.

Concubine Xian is crazy and obsessed to this point, invisibly, it is the effect of power infiltration.

She pondered, is Concubine Xian stupid?

Not at all, if the emperor is still the former emperor, Concubine Xian will win, because the emperor always has to take care of the biological mother of the prince and the princess, and would rather endure the fire in the backyard than let a little spark splash outside.

The emperor attaches the most importance to royal decency, has been married for many years, and Concubine Xian knows the emperor very well, she thinks that she has grasped the weakness of the emperor.

She also probably thought that once the emperor compromised, she would become the virtuous concubine she used to be, and the emperor would most likely think about the love between husband and wife, and open up to her, and the Su family, in the end, is the queen mother's mother's family, the emperor is filial, and it will not be too much, and as soon as the limelight passes, it can be promoted.

She thought that this time it was the princess's marriage, a family matter.

But I don't know that on the emperor's side, it is a major matter of governance, a major event related to the people's livelihood of the country, especially, the emperor has been poor for too long, he needs to find a way out for the Northern Tang Dynasty, and the worries of the high-ranking people force him to kill decisively, who stands in the way and who dies.

"The emperor may really open up to the Su family, but he probably won't tolerate the source of Concubine Xian, you look at it, after the New Year, I'm afraid I will announce that Concubine Xian's condition has worsened."

Princess Anfeng said.

Yuan Qingling looked at Prince Anfeng, "You called me out and analyzed it for me, did you want me to do something?" ”

Prince Anfeng nodded, "That's right, if the emperor finally wants to do something to Concubine Xian, then please think of a way to coax the fifth child out of the capital first, he stays in the capital, knows about it, he can't stand by as a son of man, but if he helps Concubine Xian, he will definitely annoy the emperor, which is not conducive to the relationship between father and son." ”

Yuan Qingling's heart suddenly became melancholy.

She never felt pity for Concubine Xian, and after learning what Concubine Xian had done to the patients on the leprosy mountain, she thought that Concubine Xian's death was not a pity.

She just felt sorry for the fifth child, if she coaxed the fifth child to go out of the city, then after coming back, Concubine Xian would "die violently", what would he think?

"Are you afraid that the old man will blame you in the future?"

Prince Anfeng saw her embarrassment and sighed softly, "Actually, this is what the Emperor Taishang meant, he didn't tell you himself, knowing your embarrassment, he couldn't bear it, Prince Anfeng and I received a letter from the Emperor and the Queen Mother at the same time, and we decided to come back, because Leng Yan is my disciple, I can't stand idly by, the Queen Mother hopes that I can convince Concubine Xian, but the Emperor Taishang thinks about the things that follow." ”

Yuan Qingling could probably guess that the emperor and Prince Anfeng had no contact, and the emperor did not have it before, I am afraid that it was specifically for this matter.

In fact, the Emperor Taishang did this, which really gave Concubine Xian a lot of face, he has not cared about the affairs of the court for a long time, and now he has to worry about this matter.

"Fourth Master......" Yuan Qingling sighed softly, "He probably knows what the emperor meant by marrying the princess to him, right?"

How could he be involved in this maelstrom? ”

"He must know that he can refuse, but after refusing, is he going to be an enemy of the court and the emperor?

He is just a businessman, no matter how capable he is, it is impossible to oppose the imperial court, your master is not as simple as you think, he is far-sighted, much farther than you, he is also afraid of involving me, the master, he can only agree. ”

This family business, at first Yuan Qingling thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated, but he lost a bit of purity.
