Chapter 334: Mother and Daughter Centrifuge
The so-called private banquet refers to a private banquet, and most of the people entertained are relatives and friends. I haven't heard of anyone who would be cheeky enough to have a private banquet.
The tenth princess knew it and had a hint of expectation. was exposed by the little palace maid's words, and he couldn't hold his face at that time.
Not to mention what happened to this little palace maid, the tenth princess had a reason to go to Queen Jiang to hold grievances.
Since the wrong thing he did when he returned to the Shen family, Empress Jiang was provoked to eat at the emperor's place, and she has always said that she is sick. She stays in Fengyi Palace every day, and she only asks about things in the harem.
Secretly, there is no shortage of jokes. In the final analysis, it is a small door and a small family, and the eyelids are shallow. Although the first Empress Zhao was deposed by the emperor, and even the Zhao family rebelled and beheaded all over the house, this Empress Zhao is now guarding the imperial mausoleum.
But in terms of identity, the Zhao family is the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, and Queen Zhao grew up in brocade clothes and jade food. She has seen thousands of good things, if not tens of thousands, but thousands. said that Empress Jiang is wearing a pair of jade bracelets now, if it is left with Empress Zhao, it will also fall and listen to it.
It is an indisputable fact that the Zhao family rebelled, but the identity of Empress Zhao is enough to match the position of the queen, and she can be the mother of the country. In contrast, Empress Jiang has a small family spirit. In addition, the Shen family is swaggering and deceiving under the banner of Empress Jiang outside, and even involves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is really a joke.
Some people even said: "What royal family, what family, heh...... It's just a broken house. ”
Empress Jiang at first said that she was sick to avoid the limelight, but as there were more and more rumors from the outside world, she was really sick. I eat the decoction every day, but it is not good.
When the imperial doctor came, he only said that his heart was depressed.
If there is no one in the harem who is not a human spirit, it is known that Empress Jiang is narrow-minded and is sick with anger. When it reached the emperor, it made him more and more shameless.
"Even the phoenix seal has been confiscated, and she is really tasteless as a queen."
"If it weren't for the identity of a concubine for the prince, how could she become a queen in that identity. Your Majesty has given her grace, and she should have taken it properly. But she didn't want it, but she was pampered and arrogant, and it also affected the reputation of the prince. ”
"But no, the prince is a dignified person, he must be a wise monarch one day, but he will be smeared by the Shen family, which is really pitiful."
"How can you say that a barking dog doesn't bite, you look at her appearance of not fighting or grabbing over the years, but she is actually thoughtful. Otherwise, this palace change will implicate the entire harem, why is she not in the slightest? It can be seen that this person has been dormant for so many years, and he doesn't know what he is operating in private. ”
In just a few days, Empress Jiang's good reputation in the past was completely ruined. The outside world has said everything, and even many people do not approve of Empress Jiang being named queen.
To say that the emperor did not regret it must be false. But the matter has come to this, he has abolished a queen, and the new queen has only been sealed for a long time, if it is withdrawn again, how will the historian record it?
The emperor could only turn a blind eye and never go to Fengyi Palace again in private. So much so that the queen's bedroom, which is good, has become the most deserted place in the palace.
When the tenth princess came, Empress Jiang had just used the medicine, and she was crooked on a big pillow. Because he was sick and there were no outsiders in the dormitory, he did not put on makeup.
In addition to the fat powder, a face is sick, and there are some spots on the sallow skin. His unkempt hair was faintly yellow, and his already pale lips were bloodless.
Empress Jiang is not a bright look, without the cover of makeup, she is haggard like a flower withered in the soil, and she can't even bear to look at it.
Empress Jiang hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time, so she naturally didn't know that her 'broken flowers and willows' posture was not only not pitiful, but because of the depression and gloom that could not be dispersed between her eyebrows, it was unpleasant.
Hearing the tenth princess begging to see, she lifted her eyelids and said lazily, "Call her in." ”
Although she and the tenth princess are biological mother and daughter, the relationship is not too close. After the Ten Princes wanted to coerce her and help her sit on the throne of the queen, their mother-daughter relationship was only face-saving.
As soon as the tenth princess entered the door, her face showed a little unhappy.
Empress Jiang took a look at it and felt bored.
Her daughter has been raised to this age, and it is useless except to make her angry. I will only ask for it from her, and I don't know how to return it.
Alas, children are enemies.
Empress Jiang couldn't help but remember that when she was pregnant, she was in a huge panic after the joy. There is no child in the middle palace, how dare she be pregnant. From the fact that she asked her to secretly replace the avoidance soup, she was destined to embark on a road of no return.
When she learns that she is pregnant, she becomes more and more cautious in her work, lest she be discovered. The ever-expanding ambition has not been realized.
Empress Zhao...... Oh, no matter what she Jiang Yi is today, her surname Zhao is now a prisoner, except for guarding the imperial tomb for the rest of her life, she can only wither day by day in hopeless anticipation.
She is the queen, but if the child hadn't fallen at the beginning, would she be the crown prince now......
Empress Jiang didn't dare to think about it, as long as she thought about it, the huge grief was enough to drown her whole person.
The tenth princess didn't notice Empress Jiang's expression, so she picked up an embroidery pier and sat down before she entered the door.
When the palace maid showed her tea, she realized that Empress Jiang's complexion was not very good.
"The queen mother seems to be a little haggard."
Empress Jiang raised her head and looked at the tenth princess for a moment. Her eyes were not concerned, only impatient. Hehe, she raised her daughter for half her life, and just used her as a useful tool.
"The whole capital knows that the palace is sick in bed, and it seems that the princess has a lot of opportunities, and she must not know such a trivial matter."
The tenth princess's face stiffened, and she said stupidly: "My daughter has been staying in the Cuiyang Palace for the past few days, and she doesn't ask about things outside the window...... It's the daughter's no, and I ask the queen mother to forgive me. ”
She said how aggrieved she was, as if she was deliberately making things difficult.
Empress Jiang sighed, not wanting to deal with her. How much she has covered up the rights and wrongs of the tenth princess over the years, how could she not know that this is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with her, and only knows that she is happy and doesn't care about her mother.
"Why did you come to Fengyi Palace today? If you ask about marriage, this palace can't help you. She glanced at the tenth princess again, and when she saw the unhappiness that had just risen on her face, she sneered in her heart, and her face was also cold, "The palace has done everything it promised you, and the rest should be up to you." You're not too young, don't look like a little girl. ”
The tenth princess was unhappy in her heart, and said in her heart: You are now the queen, and you still don't want to care about me, which shows that you have not loved me much over the years. But if you care about me so much, why should I do this? The daughters of other families have their own mothers to handle the marriage, and I have to rely on myself.
It can be seen that you cherish your feathers, and after becoming a queen, you will hold your own identity? Hehe, this is my good mother.
The tenth princess felt cold in her heart, and there was a little more resentment in her eyes when she looked at Queen Jiang.
Bai Shao, the palace maid, was about to serve snacks, but accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, and her heart was cold.
Empress Jiang didn't notice it, and there was a warm smile on the corner of her lips, "But is there anything else?" ”
The tenth princess failed to get the benefits, so she only took a coral ornament from Empress Jiang and went back.
As soon as the people left, Bai Shao told Empress Jiang about the scene she had just seen.
Empress Jiang's eyes were melancholy, and she sighed faintly: "This palace knows." In the future, there is no need to report the matter of the ten princesses to the palace. This palace has raised her for so many years, and she has worked a little hard. Now that people are at this age, they don't care about any gains and losses. I only hope that I can spend 10,000 years without illness and disaster. ”
Bai Shao was sad when she heard this, so she persuaded her to want to open more.
When Empress Jiang heard this, she burst out laughing: "What if you want to open it, what if you don't want to open it?" If the palace can't be opened, she will be angry to death all these years. ”
Let's not mention that the tenth princess ate a row in Fengyi Palace, and after she went back, she dropped a room of porcelain and became a joke in the palace.
After the prince learned about this, he inevitably felt a little disgusted in his heart.
Although he and the tenth princess were not born to the same mother, he had to call Queen Jiang the queen mother. His son, who later recognized him, had to greet the queen every day when he learned that the queen was seriously ill. Although people were not able to enter Fengyi Palace, etiquette and concern were also there.
On the other hand, the tenth princess, she is the only daughter of Queen Jiang, and she came to the door after Queen Jiang was sick for seven or eight days. And listening to the meaning of the palace people, the tenth princess did not go to visit the sick, but asked for Queen Jiang.
"The tenth princess is just a princess, and she has no impact on Her Highness's great cause, and I ask Your Highness not to worry about such irrelevant people." There is a way of strategists.
The crown prince sighed, looking guilty, "It is a great luck that the general is willing to accept this palace as an apprentice, but because of the tenth princess, this palace and the general have a disagreement. ”
Another adviser said, "It is not necessarily a bad thing that Your Highness is estranged from the general. Your Highness has seen the wind direction recently, but has you noticed it? His Majesty has long been suspicious of the general, and this time he trapped people in Beijing with a reward, but he was afraid that there would be other variables. ”
When the prince heard this, his face changed, and he said in a panic: "Father, he can ...... him."
Before the crown prince was crowned, he was not close to the emperor. Now he can get the crown prince, because the rest of the brothers are more or less involved in the rebellion. Whenever he thought that he had picked up the position of prince for nothing, he also felt like a joke. Or the strategists around him enlightened, saying that His Majesty won the position of emperor in the first place, and it was also because of his own luck.
"The prince does not need to be arrogant, His Royal Highness is born with a dragon, and he is blessed by God. Therefore, no matter what, the position of the crown prince is bound to fall to His Royal Highness. ”
Although the prince is too humble, he is a keen and studious person. Therefore, the courtiers were very pleased, and the emperor boasted that he was a wise man, but in fact he was mediocre. For many years, he did not make any achievements, but because he framed the general for rebellion, he almost led to the destruction of the country.
Therefore, the courtiers knew that at His Majesty's age, it was impossible for him to repent. It's better to focus on the prince, so that he can grow up all the way, and he won't be too biased.
"This palace respects the great general, he is my master for life."
"That being the case," the counsellor sighed...... "I only hope that Your Majesty will not have a problem with Your Highness because of this matter." The general is a man of great integrity and has taught His Highness well. Although he was born in the countryside, his martial arts are indeed admirable. His Highness can make a difference if he learns a lot from him. ”
"Having said that, I'm still worried that Your Majesty doesn't like the general so much that it implicates His Highness."
The prince said: "This is not allowed, that is not allowed." This palace will inherit the unification in the future, and now it is cautious, and how to become the king of a country. ”
On this day, the East Palace stayed awake all night, who would have thought that the cause was just a small private banquet.
It can be seen that small things can also affect the overall situation.
