Chapter 261: If there is gain, there will be loss
Hearing that Xiao Ming fainted, Concubine Yun couldn't care less about getting angry, so she hurried to see him, followed by Yan Ran and Zhang Yunshu.
What the palace maid said that Xiao Ming fainted was an exaggeration, he was just dizzy and didn't stand firm, but the discomfort was true.
Yan Ran checked his pulse while asking him where he was uncomfortable.
Xiao Ming couldn't tell what was going on, but he felt stuffy in his chest and couldn't breathe.
Yan Ran carefully diagnosed, found an acupuncture point on Xiao Ming's arm, and gently pressed it a few times.
After a while, Xiao Ming suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity, suddenly felt that his whole body was unobstructed, and his eyes lit up with joy: "Okay!" ”
Concubine Yun saw that Xiao Ming was fine, so she said to Zhang Yunshu: "Yun Shu, can you help the mourning family take care of the prince for a while?" ”
Zhang Yunshu had no room to refuse, and nodded in agreement.
Yan Ran knew that Concubine Yun was an excuse to keep others from having something to say to her, so she followed.
Walking outside, Concubine Yun tightened the cloak on her body and asked in a cold voice, "How do you plan to do it?" ”
Before Yan Ran could react, she listened to Concubine Yun say: "According to the opinion of the mourning family, the noble daughter of the family doesn't want it, so you don't have to think about it again." Just find a woman with a gentle temperament from a small family, who can take care of the prince and give birth to an heir for him, what do you say? ”
Yan Ran was stunned, what does Concubine Yun mean, does she not need Zhang Yunshu to enter the palace?
Seeing Yan Ran's sluggish expression, Concubine Yun sighed helplessly, and her cold and hard voice softened a little: "In this case, Ming'er is destined to not be able to give his wife the love of her husband." The deep palace is lonely, and the heart has nothing to rely on, how difficult it is, how can the mourning family not know. If you think about your sisters, you can understand the mourning family. In the face of this supreme power and honor, although you do not want to, there will always be people who are willing to eat. In this case, why should the mourning family hold on to the unwilling? ”
When Yan Ran heard this, she suddenly felt ashamed, knelt down and said: "It's Ran'er who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, please forgive the concubine!" ”
Yan Ran thought that with Concubine Yun's love for Xiao Ming, she would inevitably respond to his needs.
He likes Zhang Yunshu, and Concubine Yun will let Zhang Yunshu come to him at all costs.
In this matter, Yan Ran and Concubine Yun are opposites.
Therefore, Yan Ran secretly sent Zhang Yunshu away and instigated Xiao Ming to talk back, but she did not ask Concubine Yun for help.
But I didn't expect that Concubine Yun would be so transparent and open-minded.
In fact, Concubine Yun didn't want to obey Xiao Ming's wishes, but Zhang Yunshu was Yan Ran's close relative, and if she wanted to force Zhang Yunshu, she would inevitably have an irreparable rift with Yan Ran.
Now, Wen Rongan's influence in the court is overwhelming.
Cabinet, Khanh Quoc Mansion, General's Mansion, Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Thanh Ha, Bac Ninh...... These forces that caged the Wenchen generals in their hands formed a net and tightly protected Xiao Ming.
And this net was woven by Wen Rong'an.
When Concubine Yun and Yan Ran had a rift, it was a rift with Wen Rongan, which tore a hole in this net.
Putting aside these interests, Concubine Yun pinned all her feelings for Yun Ran on Yan Ran, she really regarded Yan Ran as a relative.
No matter what the reason, she was unwilling to stand on the opposite side of Yan Ran.
Compared with the above factors, Xiao Ming's preferences became less important, because in Concubine Yun's opinion, he was just a child.
Children like one thing, how long can the enthusiasm last, as long as they meet a more favorite thing, they will soon forget these unhappy things.
When he left the palace, Zhang Yunshu seemed preoccupied.
Yan Ran said with concern: "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhang Yunshu went to the palace and already knew that Emperor Sheng intended to marry, so Yan Ran was in a hurry to let her go back to Beining.
She asked apologetically, "Ranran, is the concubine to blame you?" ”
Yan Ran smiled and shook her head: "No." ”
Zhang Yunshu was skeptical of Yan Ran's words, and made a free and easy appearance: "Actually, I always want to get married, and it's the same wherever I marry." ”
Yan Ran was a little surprised, she couldn't tell her mind for a while, and asked hesitantly, "Cousin, do you like the prince?" ”
Zhang Yunshu's eyes flashed with a moment of confusion.
Yan Ran added: "The kind of love for the love of men and women? ”
This time, Zhang Yunshu immediately shook his head: "The prince's heart is as pure and kind as a child, I have always treated him as a younger brother, how can I have this kind of feeling." ”
Yan Ran breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she almost beat the mandarin duck.
She said seriously: "Marriage is a big event, don't play with it." Since you don't have a love for him, and you don't want to lose your freedom and be trapped in the deep palace, he is not your destination, and you don't have to worry about it. ”
Zhang Yunshu chuckled, his smile was wrapped in a thick sense of helplessness: "The king's order cannot be violated, if the holy decree is made, how can I have the right to refuse?" Besides, how can I hide behind you and let you bear everything for me? ”
Yan Ran held her hand and was slightly excited: "Why not?" You used to protect me, but now I protect you! ”
Zhang Yunshu looked at Yan Ran in a daze, but he didn't expect that this little cousin, who loved to cry when he was young, now has a solid arm that people can rely on.
Yan Ran smiled and said easily: "Concubine Yun has already promised me that she will persuade the Holy Lord to change her mind." Rest assured, as long as I'm here, you'll never have to do anything against your will. ”
Yan Ran's assurance was loud and smashed heavily into Zhang Yunshu's heart.
Zhang Yunshu's heart was relieved, and he smiled lightly: "Hmm! ”
*
"Didn't Concubine Yun already promise you to make a proposal to the Holy Lord and choose a concubine for the crown prince again, why are you still unhappy?"
Wen Rongan hugged Yan Ran in his arms and asked softly.
Yan Ran's expression was abrupt: "I just think it's too unfair to the prince." ”
Yan Ran can find a way out for Zhang Yunshu, and Concubine Yun can also compromise with Yan Ran.
They all had choices, but Xiao Ming didn't.
If he can make a choice, Xiao Ming may give up Zhang Yunshu for the throne, or maybe give up the throne for Zhang Yunshu.
Either way, it was a brave step he had taken for his life.
And now, whether he takes the throne or loses the person he likes, he has no right to choose, he can only passively accept it.
Wen Rongan smiled and said: "If you say it's fair, everyone is born unfair. If you had a choice in your background at the beginning, then you don't think there would be people in this world who are poor, born with disabilities, and have no parents, right? The fairest thing in this world is that there will be gains and losses, and there will be compensation for losses. The crown prince enjoys the dignity of the emperor with his incomplete wisdom, which is already a blessing from heaven, how can everything go well? ”
Yan Ran listened to Wen Rong'an's words, and actually heard a hint of Zen, blinked his eyes and said playfully: "Cousin's wisdom is detached, and it is really not beyond the reach of ordinary people like me." ”
Wen Rongan lowered her head to rub Yan Ran's nose, which made her laugh constantly, and finally made her let go of her thoughts.
After uniting with Concubine Yun, Yan Ran was not in a hurry to let Zhang Yunshu and the others go.
There are a lot of delicious and fun things in Anyang City, and she wants to take them all around.
Emperor Sheng originally thought that the crown princess would be a queen in the future, and she must be noble and have a strong family.
If Xiao Ming hadn't said that he liked Zhang Yunshu, he would not be very satisfied with Zhang Yunshu's background.
However, under the analysis of the pros and cons of Concubine Yun, Emperor Sheng completely overturned the original idea and finally decided to choose a concubine among the people.
Master Yan is very positive about this, he was born in a small town, and it is not easy to go back to his hometown to find a gentle and docile girl from a small family.
If the person he recommended can ascend to the phoenix throne in the future, it will always be good for him.
There are many people who have the same idea as Master Yan, so in just a few days, the show girls who entered Beijing to participate in the election were overcrowded.
After layers of investigation and selection, five show girls finally entered the palace to be selected.
Concubine Yun let these five show girls enter the palace in order to let Xiao Ming get along with them for a while, get familiar with each other, and cultivate feelings.
She and the queen can also learn more about their conduct, and then choose a candidate for the crown princess.
"How is the prince doing?"
After Xiao Ming entered the East Palace, Yan Ran could no longer visit him as casually as before, and could only ask Wen Rongan about his current situation.
Wen Rongan said: "It's good, I eat and sleep well, I study very hard, and I get along well with those show girls." ”
Xiao Ming knew that one of those girls would become his wife, but he didn't have any concept of the word husband and wife, just a few more playmates.
The girls are in awe of his identity, and they are not as proud as the nobles of the family, and they can put down their bodies and coax him, and he is living smoothly.
Yan Ran learned that Xiao Ming was not affected by the previous incident, and he still got along well with his new friends, and he was also relieved: "That's good." ”
Sure enough, children are children, they like the new and hate the old, and they are forgetful.
Yan Ran didn't think it was bad, but was very glad that he wouldn't be sad or hurt.
Wen Rongan mentioned the few girls to be drafted, and said: "However, among those show girls, the one who is the most face-saving in front of the saint and the queen is the person from Minyang. ”
Yan Ran smiled: "Such a rare opportunity to cultivate power around the future emperor, it would be abnormal if Minyang didn't want to get a piece of the pie." ”
Wen Rongan nodded and said: "It's just a show girl with no foundation, if she can really get into the eyes of the saint and the prince, it doesn't hurt to stay." ”
Yan Ran didn't care either, if this woman stayed, she would be reversed.
At that time, Minyang learned that he had worked hard but made a wedding dress for others, and the expression on his face must be very good-looking.
Yan Ran's eyebrows were crooked, revealing a sweet but dangerous smile.
However, I just don't know if I will be able to see that day again.
Because Minyang can't be around for a few days, when the evidence of Princess Yan Rantuo Roujia's investigation is sent, it will be the day of Minyang's downfall!
It's a pity that Yan Ran really didn't get her wish, but not because her evidence arrived, but because the show girl died by herself.
She actually poisoned the pastry and murdered other show girls, but was accidentally eaten by Xiao Ming and almost caused a catastrophe.
"This idiot! If it affects this palace, this palace will definitely make her life worse than death! ”
Min Yang is extremely angry, although this show girl has nothing to do with her on the surface, she can't help but feel weak, and because it is related to the safety of the prince, she still hurriedly enters the palace to inquire about the situation.
