369: Harm others is not good for yourself
The emperor showed great trust in the empress, and the eldest prince looked very dazzling.
As long as it involves the "art of disgust with victory", if Concubine Shu encounters something similar, don't care whether the emperor believes it or not, he will imprison Concubine Shu as soon as possible, how can he hold Concubine Shu's hand like this, and appease him with a good voice?
I used to know that my father had a husband and wife relationship with the queen, but I didn't know that my father took the queen so seriously.
The eldest prince hid his true thoughts, and took the initiative to step forward with a worried face:
"Father, the son also wants to do something for the queen mother."
The emperor nodded, "Your filial piety is known, so you will wait here for the time being." ”
What the third prince wanted to say, he finally shut up.
The third prince is not weak anyway, if the virtuous concubine has such a great ability to set up a situation for the queen, and the same mind is spent on the emperor, she will have regained her favor a long time ago!
What should be worried is the eldest prince, and the third prince looks at this group of brothers, all of whom are suspicious.
The three princes were suspicious when they saw a group of brothers, but they didn't know that the emperor also thought the same.
Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning, these three high-ranking concubines were the first objects of the emperor's suspicion, and even the three princes did not completely rule out suspicion in the eyes of the emperor.
The emperor was very angry, and he ordered a banquet for the queen, but it turned out to be a joke!
……
This year's Qianqiu Banquet, the queen mother was edicted to go to the Huangji Palace to accept the birthday congratulations of the ministers and clansmen, and there was also a banquet here in the harem, which was the harem concubines and clan women, as well as the wives.
The rules are similar to those of the Imperial Palace, in addition to the wives of the big and small Jiuqing, they also need to be more than four rank to participate in the banquet.
The Liu family is just stuck on this threshold.
Entering the palace, where did the Liu family think before, she was the continuation of the seven-rank county order.
How do you know that the afterglow left by Cheng Zhiyuan after his death made the Liu family get the fate of the four respects, and Cheng Qing was really angry, and became the champion of the sixth yuan and the first, and brought the whole family to settle in the capital.
Since he was in Jingli, the Liu clan had qualifications.
Cheng Qing's enthusiasm for six yuan and the first has not yet dissipated, and he is in charge of this Qianqiu banquet, how can the Liu family not be invited!
Mrs. Dong did not enter the palace this time, Lord Dong is not a Beijing official, and Mrs. Dong is not counted.
But among the other ladies who came to the palace banquet, there was no shortage of people known to the Liu family.
The first one was Mrs. May.
Since I saw it in Qiao's Mansion, the Liu family and Mrs. Mei are on the line, today you send me some food, tomorrow I will give you some specialties, and the affection is deepened in the walk.
Not only Mrs. Mei and the Liu family are good, but Mei Pujia and the two sisters Cheng Ci and Cheng Min are also very deed.
The Liu family entered the palace for the first time to receive the banquet, and Mrs. Mei did the same.
The two accompanied each other and encouraged each other, and Mrs. Mei was ruthless and made fun of herself: "A few years ago, the village women in my hometown laughed at me for not being able to get married, but now I can participate in the palace banquet, and those village women are still counting ducks in the countryside, and no one can say for sure what happens in this life." ”
Mrs. Mei's mother's business is big, where have she dealt with real village women, but she just remembered that those long-tongued women who looked down on people in the past got angry and deliberately said so.
Mrs. Mei is funny, how can the Liu family not cooperate.
"Yes, in the early years, he never thought of being able to participate in the palace banquet, thinking about how to eat enough in the hands of his stepmother and be less rubbed."
Mrs. Mei can talk about her old age and unmarried past, and the Liu family naturally does not hesitate to mention the difficult days in the past.
Those who can only share happiness are not called true friends, Mrs. Mei and Liu can openly mention bad things, and friendship is somewhat true.
Liu was rubbed in the hands of his stepmother, so he was reluctant to rub his stepdaughter again, which happened to Mrs. Mei's appetite, so Mrs. Mei looked at Liu's eyes.
With the help of Mrs. Mei, Liu's entry into the palace to participate in the palace banquet was smooth and smooth, and he did not suffer any trouble.
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou wanted to come over and talk to the Liu family for a few words, but she saw that Mrs. Mei was worried.
Master Mei entered the cabinet, and Mrs. Mei is no longer the stepfamily of the five-rank official.
There are also Cheng Shangshu's wife Qin's family, Cheng Shilang's wife Zhong's family, both of which are Liu's natural allies - Nanyi Cheng's is not a harmonious group inside, but he can't show it when he enters the palace, in the eyes of outsiders, Nanyi Cheng's is one, if Liu's family loses face, what face do Qin and Zhong's have?
will not deliberately frame the Liu family, if the Liu family has an accident alone, it may be the entire Cheng family who is unlucky.
It's that the eldest princess took Roujia to the banquet, which is so much higher than the rank of the Liu family, and the two will not sit in the same place, and it is difficult to think of the conflict.
The eldest princess is here to brush up on her sense of existence today, not to stir up trouble, and she didn't give the Liu family much in her eyes.
Liu was not afraid of being left out in the cold, so she wanted to go home after the palace banquet in peace.
Although the queen went to the Huangji Palace, she did not delay the liveliness of the palace banquet in Kunning Palace, and the queen mother presided over the palace banquet on her behalf, and the concubine was the highest-ranking concubine under the queen, and she accompanied the queen mother.
On the other side, she is the eldest princess of Fuzhen.
The Queen Mother looked at her granddaughter carefully, and saw that Rou Jia's expression was calm, she had lost her former domineering, and she had the bearing of the future princess in every word and deed, how could she always be angry with Rou Jia.
It was Concubine Shu, who still remembered the Cheng family's refusal to kiss, and deliberately mentioned the Liu family.
"I don't know how her family raised her son, she was only seventeen years old, she was six yuan and the first, the queen mother, and the concubine was really curious about Liu Gongren!"
How many ministers are attending the banquet in the Huangji Palace, and how many foreign women are coming to Kunning Palace to attend the banquet today, and a four-grade Gongren like the Liu family can have a seat, which is inconspicuous, but was named by Concubine Shu.
The Queen Mother also gave Concubine Shu face, and Xuanliu stepped forward to look at her.
Liu remembered the palace rules practiced at home these days, and did not show timidity in front of the Queen Mother, and bowed in a proper manner.
The Queen Mother is old and has the experience of being young, and she has always disliked frivolous beauties. Among the three high-ranking concubines of Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning, the Queen Mother looked down on Concubine Ning's light bones.
I didn't expect Liu Gong to be so beautiful in life, and he was not much worse than the mother in the palace.
However, looking at the eyes were quite correct, and she didn't look around, the Queen Mother had a good impression of Liu, and she also encouraged Liu's a few words, recognizing Liu's godson.
"The Queen Mother praised it falsely."
Concubine Shu smiled, "Liu Gongren not only teaches children, but also raises daughters, there are two beautiful daughters hidden in the family, and even the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion was rejected to propose marriage, and I don't know what kind of family Liu Gongren wants to marry his daughter into." ”
Mrs. May wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this.
Concubine Shu and Mrs. Yingchuan Hou are really sisters-in-law, why are they so cheap!
Whether the Cheng family marries their daughter or not, what does it have to do with them?
If you can't get it, you will destroy it, hurting others and not benefiting yourself, Mrs. Mei was secretly anxious for the Liu family, and sure enough, she saw that the smile on the queen mother's face faded.
The Queen Mother must have thought too much.
I can't look down on the family of the Marquis of Yingchuan, and I want to marry my daughter to a high place, so don't you want to marry into the royal family?
is also Cheng's daughter, and the Queen Mother will inevitably compare Liu's two daughters with Cheng Rong in her heart. Cheng Rong is relatively dignified, she has been dead for more than two years, and the Queen Mother has not forgotten it.
If Concubine Shu didn't lie, the two daughters taught by Liu Gongren would definitely be much inferior to Cheng Rong.
Concubine Shu didn't have a good heart when she said this.
The Liu family has no other skills, and since he was a child, he has begged for a living under his stepmother, and he is very good at looking at people's eyes carefully, and he immediately noticed the change in the attitude of the queen mother.
Why is the Queen Mother unhappy, because the Cheng family didn't marry their daughter into the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion?
Liu's intuition was not like that.
