The queen was furious by her defense, and said in an unkind tone: "This palace didn't say that you shouldn't save people, this saving people should be done whenever and where, but people didn't let you take advantage of your reputation, a girl's family is a little too despised of herself." ”

Wei Baofu laughed angrily and replied coldly: "Then what does the queen think I should do?" The queen replied indifferently: "No matter what you should do in the future, it is now a foregone conclusion, what we should discuss is how to solve it, how to deal with the aftermath, after all, this is related to the dignity of our entire royal family." ”

Concubine Shu said casually: "Queen Mother, although this incident has happened, and there have been bad rumors, but the county lord of Kangping has already explained, this is just a simple saving of people's lives, why are you aggressive, and it has risen to the dignity of our royal family, isn't it too much of a fuss." ”

The queen was not angry, and said earnestly: "Sister Shufei, the fourth prince is still young, you don't understand, now the prince is about to choose a concubine, make such a thing, let those ministers think of us, you can't blindly favor the county lord because of a special relationship, this is not to love her, it hurts her." ”

Yao Guifei took the opportunity to open her mouth and said: "Our lady concubine is just worried that her face is not good-looking, how can it be as complicated as the queen mother said, if you want me to say, it is better for the lady to prepare a dowry for the county lord as soon as possible, although the town of Beihou may not be willing to marry, but always have to prepare no." ”

These women are more bitter and mean than one another, Wei Baofu doesn't feel much, and becomes more and more calm, it's not that they don't see the advantages of Zhenbei Hou, but they are sure that Zhenbei Hou is amorous, and they will not be willing to marry her, but they just want to humiliate her and see her jokes.

Although Concubine Yu loves to watch the excitement, she is also a person with a daughter after all, and she has a good impression of Wei Baofu, so she said: "According to me, it's just a trivial matter, obviously the county lord is a good person, but you poured sewage on it, and it doesn't look like it, what you say here is just speculation, it's better to listen to what Zhenbei Hou says, so that the emperor can judge and judge." ”

No matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, he is always fairer than the queen, Wei Baofu glanced at Concubine Yu gratefully, and said softly: "Kang Ping is willing to ask the emperor's uncle to adjudicate, not asking for anything else, only willing to return my innocent reputation." ”

Wei Baofu was crying at the moment, showing a little girl who had been wronged to the fullest, Zhang Dewang, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, saw that the time was almost up, and shouted loudly: "The emperor Xuankangping county lord and the palace masters went to the imperial study to see the driver. ”

The queen was a little caught off guard when she heard the news, and glanced at Wei Baofu with deep eyes, only feeling that she was afraid that she might not be able to do so today, but she still had a smile on her face, and said kindly: "It is also your blessing that the emperor has asked about this matter, we should admit our mistakes when we are wrong, and don't talk back in front of the emperor, like this, hurt others and hurt yourself." ”

The Queen Mother stood with Wei Baofu at this moment and said to the queen: "Since the emperor wants to inquire about this matter, the queen still has less thoughts, there is a mourning family and the emperor here, and it is not your turn to talk nonsense." With that, he led Wei Baofu to the imperial study.

Concubine Shu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a sneer: "Why is the queen nosy, there is a mess on her own body, if she is idle, it is better to let the prince pay off the debts as soon as possible, so as not to be looked down upon." ”

The queen was not angry, but said to Yao Guifei: "Sister Yao go with me to have a look, our emperor is kind-hearted, but we can't let him be deceived at will." Yao Guifei nodded cooperatively and gave Concubine Shu a provocative look, but Concubine Shu just couldn't see it and turned to leave.

When Wei Baofu arrived at the imperial study, he was unexpectedly found that Rong Yanzong was actually there, his face was a little pale, after all, the residual poison had just been removed, and he was assassinated, and his body must need time to recuperate.

Rong Yanzong also knew the etiquette in front of the emperor, and respectfully saluted the masters, and the emperor glanced at the queen and said: "I heard that you are a little uneasy in Cining Palace, but is there such a thing?" ”

The queen said with a smile: "The emperor said that the emperor is joking, how can the concubines make trouble, but they just want to clean up the aftermath for the county lord of Kangping, and let her be innocent." These words were high-sounding, and the Queen Mother was very angry when she heard it, and she really wanted to slap her and teach her how to behave.

The emperor frowned and said: "The queen is too mean, as the mother of a country, you should be cautious in your words, the Marquis of Zhenbei has already explained to me, the two of them did not exceed the slightest bit, but the situation was urgent at that time." ”

The queen seemed to guess that this would be the case, and said with a smile: "The emperor taught me a lesson, but after all, this matter has caused a great impact, our county lord is a woman, and the damage to her reputation will affect her for the rest of her life, even if it is for other nobles in the clan, the Marquis of Zhenbei should have an explanation." ”

In the queen's cognition, a man like the Marquis of Zhenbei would not be willing to marry a clan lord who was placed at home, he was greedy and lustful, and he must not want someone to take care of him, although the lord of Kangping County has the support of the Queen Mother, in fact, they are just two old and weak women and children, even if the Marquis of Zhenbei refuses, then no one can say anything.

Just when she was full of ambition, waiting to see Wei Baofu's jokes, thinking about making her dignity sweep away, and finally her maiden nephew was willing to marry her, then Kang Ping would not refuse, thinking about it beautifully, the Marquis of Zhenbei knelt straight towards the emperor.

Said sincerely: "I pray that the emperor can marry the county lord of Kangping to Weichen, although Weichen is much older than the county lord, but if he can marry the county lord, I wish to guard her only in this life, do not take concubines, do not leave a house, do not raise an outer room, if it violates today's words, it will not be a good death." ”

These words made everyone present think that they had heard it wrong, and the queen was even more stunned, but the queen mother was excited and tearful.

Concubine Shu was also in a complicated mood and tightened her veil, she didn't know whether she hoped that Wei Baofu would agree or hope that she would refuse, Yao Guifei looked like a ghost, Wei Baofu was very calm, Zhenbei Hou was not what the outside world said.

The emperor is satisfied with the behavior of the Marquis of Zhenbei in his heart, after all, Wei Baofu is a noble daughter of the clan, representing the face of the royal family, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is a powerful minister with real power.

Although he thought so in his heart, the emperor did not express it, and asked Wei Baofu kindly, "What does Kang Ping think, although you are young, I know that you have a lot of ideas, and you are a good one." ”

Wei Baofu also walked to Rong Yanzong's side and knelt down, and said solemnly: "Back to the emperor's uncle's words, Kangping's original intention was just to save people, thinking that the Marquis of Zhenbei was the hero of my Dazhao, and it was also appropriate to save him, but he didn't expect to suffer from this stigma, and it is also Kangping's blessing to be able to marry the Marquis of Zhenbei, but Kangping hopes that you can clear the stigma for me, if it is engaged, then you must first ask a matchmaker to discuss with your grandmother and uncle, even if you are married, Kangping is also holding his head high, and marrying three books and six ceremonies is open. ”

This was said extremely sonorously, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You are reasonable, can the Marquis of Zhenbei hear it?" My niece still depends on the sincerity of your family, if you really have a heart, hurry home and prepare. ”

Rong Yanzong was also extremely happy, which was even more exciting than his victory, "The emperor can rest assured, my mother has been waiting for the news for a long time to prepare for action, and she will not let the county lord be wronged." The emperor laughed with satisfaction.

"This matter ends here, if anyone still spreads rumors and beats them to death with sticks, how can you talk nonsense about the gossip of the county lord." The emperor said this to the queen, and the queen had a feeling of stealing chickens and rice, and she was very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything.

As a result of this matter, Wei Baofu is not dissatisfied, no matter who she marries, she has to run in well, Rong Yanzong is not what she likes, but it is not what she dislikes, if she can really do what he said, what is there to fear about marrying him.

Leaving from the imperial study, the Queen Mother stayed and had something to say to the emperor, Wei Baofu went out alone, Concubine Shu took the opportunity to walk to her side, and said softly: "This matter is finally over, if you are not satisfied, we can be positive." ”

Wei Baofu smiled and shook his head: "Thank you aunt for your concern, the Marquis of Zhenbei can be regarded as a good match, if he changes his hexagram in the future, it will not be too late for me to withdraw, and it will be good for you and the four princes to be able to marry him." ”

Concubine Shu was stunned, and said a little stunned: "You know everything?" Actually, my sister and I don't want you to get involved, you can live your own life, become relatives in the future, and don't have too close relationships with the four princes, everything will be said when the situation is clear, you can't let you all fill in. ”

Wei Baofu smiled and comforted: "Aunt should believe in my ability with the fourth brother, besides, according to our relationship, even if we are estranged, no one can run away when we should be implicated, it is better to help each other openly, the most important thing at present is that the fourth brother can establish his own team as soon as possible." ”

The two of them spoke very little, and they deliberately fell behind others, but no one paid too much attention, Concubine Shu said: "Don't worry, although there are not many people around him who have to be used temporarily, but there are also loyal ones, he is still young, it will be good to wait until he enters the court to deal with political affairs, and now he is young, which is also a good thing." ”

The emperor is dissatisfied with the crown prince, this is something that the former dynasty and harem all know, the main thing is that the prince is not capable and does things improperly, the four princes are watching and learning more on the side, and now it is the best to be inconspicuous, and when the accumulated power is strong enough, then no one dares to bully.

"If you have time, let's go and meet your grandmother, it's not easy for anyone, it's inevitable to have grievances and anger, in the end, there is still a blood relationship, and it can't be broken."
