Chapter 142: Canonization of the royal concubine
So, the queen said to her: "The concubine of Shangshu Changde of the Ministry of War, Miss Yuhan, this palace will inform the emperor that you will be promoted to the second prince's concubine, and you and the second prince's concubine Nianwei will live in the second prince's mansion together." ”
A trace of surprise flashed in Yuhan's eyes, although her father was an important minister of the court, but as a concubine, she had a humble status, and she never thought that she would be directly selected by the queen, and immediately said gratefully: "The courtiers thank the queen for their love, and they will do their best to assist the second prince and Sister Nianwei." ”
"That's very good." The queen likes her straightforward temperament, joy, anger and sorrow are on her face, which is just the opposite of Nianwei's calm and calm personality, the two of them are one inside and one outside, one rigid and one soft, which can perfectly help the second prince ascend the throne as the emperor.
Concubine Jin couldn't help but hide her lips and snicker, she originally thought that the queen would be more humble and recommend a few show girls to Concubine Shu, but she didn't expect the queen to choose the concubines of the second prince first, as if she was afraid of being robbed.
"Since the queen already has a favorite girl, Concubine Shu, you can also talk about it."
Concubine Jin raised the corners of her scarlet lips and said, she is here to assist the queen, but she can't let the Jing nobles take the lead, only the queen and Concubine Shu can pick the rest to get the Jing nobles!
Concubine Shu glanced at the remaining show girls, and her gentle gaze fixed on Tang Wanning and Tang Anxia. She had heard that the eldest prince Li Mu had been in love with Tang Anxia for a long time, and if she hadn't accidentally gone to the northwest fiefdom, Mu'er would definitely ask to marry Tang Anxia as a concubine.
For this reason, Concubine Shu also privately sent someone to investigate Tang Anxia, but the result was that this woman's mind was on Prince Wen's body, and she didn't take her Mu'er in her eyes at all.
How painful and torturous it would be to love someone who doesn't love you?
Concubine Shu couldn't imagine that if Tang Anxia stayed by Mu'er's side, she was still involved with Prince Wen every day, and Mu'er's efforts were not reciprocated, and the two of them would inevitably fall into the whirlpool of feelings, struggling with each other and grieving each other.
If there is no good ending, it is better not to have a connection from the beginning, and if there is no beginning, there will naturally be no pain.
Concubine Shu's eyes were determined, and her voice was gentle like water, but it had an undoubted deterrent: "The palace decided to choose the concubine of the General's Mansion, Tang Wanning, to be canonized as the eldest princess, first to live in Longmu Hall, and then choose an auspicious day to send to the northwest fiefdom to help the eldest prince benefit the people and stay together." ”
The queen frowned, and her tone was a little sour: "Concubine Shu thinks about Zhou Xiang, after all, the eldest prince has a great relationship with General Tang, and now she has married the daughter of the Tang family, and she will be even more close to her in the future, which is enviable." ”
Concubine Shu's eyes were as indifferent as water, her mouth was smiling and tender, and her voice was unhurried: "Mu'er is now the king of the northwest, General Tang guards the country in the imperial city and is loyal to the emperor, Mu'er and the Tang family are afraid that they are inseparable, and which prince will inherit the unification in the future is the person that the Tang family really appreciates." ”
After that, Concubine Shu deliberately glanced at the Jing nobleman who was about to move, her eyebrows tightened, and she was dissatisfied with every show girl in the photo being selected by others.
Tang Wan stared at the queen and said no more, so she blessed her body with interest: "The courtiers thank Concubine Shu for their love, and the courtiers are willing to go to the northwest to cover the back and rely on the eldest prince." ”
Concubine Shu nodded with satisfaction, she knew that it was wiser to choose a concubine than a concubine, Tang Anxia.
On the one hand, Tang Wanning was able to ensure the relationship between the eldest prince and the general's mansion, and on the other hand, Tang Wanning looked like a beautiful lady, able to be the master of the house, and able to treat the eldest prince well.
Concubine Jin stretched out a hand and counted the remaining show girls, then turned her face and asked, "Concubine Shu, doesn't your eldest prince choose a concubine?" The younger sister of this palace is proficient in all kinds of calligraphy and painting, and has learned the four books and five classics of female virtue, although the background is ordinary, but after all, she is the sister of the mother's family in this palace. ”
Ruoyan lowered her head shyly, her long and thick eyelashes covered the expression under her eyes, her beautiful face climbed a touch of crimson, and her well-behaved and sensible appearance was pitiful.
However, her weakness is only pretending on the surface, and her heart is like a mirror: my sister is afraid, worried that she will be selected by Jing Gui and become the child daughter-in-law of the little prince, with no future at all, and she has to endure Jing Guiren's nest in vain. It is better to go to the fiefdom to be a prince and concubine, the status is second only to Tang Wanning, and there is no suppression of the harem concubines, as long as you serve the prince well, the future is immeasurable.
Concubine Shu smiled lightly, although she disdained intrigue, but she could stay out of the harem from time to time, and naturally she was not a woman without a city. She knew what Concubine Jin meant, and politely refused: "The sister of Concubine Gui Niang is really a good girl." In fact, the concubine originally didn't plan to choose a concubine for the eldest prince, after all, the northwest fiefdom was too far away from the imperial city, and it was enough to have a confidant who knew the cold and the hot to accompany the eldest prince. ”
"How can that work?" Concubine Jin raised her eyebrows, her cheeks with heavy makeup were radiant, and her eyes were silently smiling as if she could speak, "How can this royal man have a reason to marry one?" The eldest prince is the king of the northwest, and there is only one concubine in the backyard who will be laughed at! Spread out and reproduce heirs, this is also the responsibility of the eldest prince! ”
When Concubine Shu heard this, she simply pushed the boat down the river to sell her favor, agreed to Concubine Jin, and said helplessly: "That's it, since Sister Guifei said so, then let your mother's sister be the eldest prince's concubine, stay in Longmu Hall first, and set off with Tang Wanning in the coming day to serve the eldest prince in the northwest fiefdom." ”
"Concubine Shu is really an enlightened person!" Concubine Jin suddenly smiled, turned her head to Ruoyan and pouted, "Don't thank Concubine Shu soon." ”
Ruoyan hurriedly blessed her body, looking a little playful, a little stupid and said, "Courtier...... The courtiers thanked Concubine Shu, and the courtiers will live up to expectations and treat the prince well. ”
"Okay, this palace believes that you two sisters will definitely work together to solve problems for the eldest prince."
Tang Wanning and Ruoyan said at the same time: "The courtiers take the order." ”
After the two prominent princes finished selecting the concubines, the queen glanced at the Jing nobleman who was left out in the cold and couldn't even say a word, and sneered: "Oh, look at the memory of this palace, I almost forgot the little prince!" ”
Concubine Jin Guifei smiled so much that she smiled like a blooming rose: "Isn't it, our sisters patronize and talk, and we forget that there is still a little prince!" Let me see, the show girls with famous flowers are Yuhan, Nian Wei, Tang Wanning and Ruoyan, and the rest are Manwen, Mengqi, Tang Anxia, Yurong, and Zhilei. Jing noble, you are very blessed! Among the rest of the show girls, do you have a picture? ”
"Wait!" Zhilei's shout suddenly interrupted Concubine Jin's words.
Aunt Jiang Rong's face changed suddenly, she stepped forward a few steps, slapped Zhilei's cold little face, and scolded angrily: "There are no rules!" In front of all the mothers! How can you speak! ”
Zhilei covered her red face with one hand, and suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Concubine Shu and said, "Niangniang, please forgive the courtiers for being rude!" The courtiers are the adopted daughters of the Taifu Yang Qing, and the eldest prince has had several encounters, and the courtiers come to Chuxiu Palace, just to serve the eldest prince, to be a maid and a concubine, as long as they can stay by the side of the eldest prince, the courtiers have nothing else to ask for! ”
Concubine Shu's calm cheeks flashed with a hint of understated disgust, and she said in a calm tone: "Speaking of which, the father of this palace was in the market back then, and he saw that you were pitiful, so he took you into the house. Bengong was not married to the emperor at that time, I remember clearly, you said the same thing, as a maid and a concubine, you want to stay in the Taifu Mansion. It's a pity that Bengong's father is upright and upright, and he didn't have the intention of taking a concubine at all. Seeing your miserable appearance, I had no choice but to accept you as my adopted daughter, on the one hand, I cut off your thoughts, and on the other hand, I blocked the mouths of others, so as not to tarnish my father's reputation! ”
As soon as this past incident came out, Zhilei's cheeks turned red and white with shame for a while, and she stammered and explained: "Courtier...... The courtiers were young and ignorant at that time, just to protect themselves......"
"Self-preservation?" Concubine Shu interrupted her impatiently, "Then, this palace will guess that in the future, in order to protect yourself, you can be unfavorable to the eldest prince, and in order to compete for power, you can be unfavorable to the prince's concubines!" This palace, you can't leave a disaster by the side of the eldest prince, the father of this palace only has my daughter, and I married the emperor, your adopted daughter is nothing more than to come in to fill the number, in terms of seniority, I want to call you a sister! How can I marry my sister to my Mu'er? ”
Zhi Lei collapsed to the ground, she trembled all over, tears fell uncontrollably, she admitted that she was poor and afraid, there were too many hard days, she was afraid that the wealth she had fought for would disappear, so she would always desperately hold it in her hands, even if it hurt people and hurt people, even if it violated her conscience, she had to win a place in the Taifu Mansion.
However, for the eldest prince Li Mu, she fell in love at first sight, and then fell again. She fell in love with Li Mu, sincerely, not simply for her prominent status!
The queen looked at her crying and crying, with a look of disgust, and raised her face towards Jiang Rong: "Hurry up and pull it out and send it back to Lord Taifu's mansion, this palace is here for the draft, not to see which show girl's situation is miserable and pitiful, a woman who can not understand the rules in front of people and shed tears in exchange for sympathy is not worthy of marrying into the royal family, don't dirty the eyes of this palace." ”
"Yes!" Jiang Rong immediately led a few minions and dragged Zhilei away.
In the distance, only Zhilei's struggling cries and heart-rending begging for mercy were heard: "Queen Mother! Concubine Shu! I beg you to spare your courtiers! The courtiers know that they are wrong! Concubine Shu's ......"
Concubine Jin straightened her posture, her eyes were like silk, and her smile was like a flower, as if she had watched a wonderful show, and said jokingly: "Hehe, Concubine Shu, you are too, I knew that she was like this, I shouldn't have let the Taifu send her in the first place, it's embarrassing!" ”
Concubine Shu hurriedly stood up and saluted the queen and Concubine Jin: "The concubine is guilty!" When the emperor drafted, he asked the Taifu Mansion to send a daughter to the palace, but unfortunately the father only had a daughter from the concubine, and he couldn't send his son into the palace, and he couldn't send the maidservant girl into the palace, so he had to choose Zhilei, who had been raised for many years. ”
The queen didn't want to hold on to this matter, so she waved her hand impatiently: "Get up, your father is an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to be flexible, it's not your fault." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a resentment towards Concubine Jin in her heart!
Just took in her sister Ruoyan, Concubine Jin Guifei was so quick to be unforgiving, it seems that Ruoyan is not a good type! I want to warn Mu'er to beware of her!
The queen glanced at Jing Guiren, and said in a tired voice: "Jing Guiren, this palace is lacking, which show girl do you want to choose, say it quickly!" ”
In fact, Jing Guiren has not been idle, and his head is like a wheel.
As soon as she heard the queen's words, Jing Guiren was unequivocal, and opened her mouth to say: "The concubine has thought about it, among the remaining show girls, the concubine will choose Man Wenfeng as the little princess, and Yurong as the little princess!" ”
"......" Manwen and Yurong's eyes widened at the same time, looking at Jing Guiren in disbelief.
Would they rather be sent out of the palace and find a lover than be a concubine for a ten-year-old child!? What's more, the little prince's mother is a Jing nobleman, and she is a scum known to everyone in the harem!
The queen didn't answer immediately, thinking about what Cheng Cheng had said at the beginning, if the general's mansion was successful, she would assist the second prince to ascend the throne.
But the god operator said that the person who supports the second prince is the descendant who helped the emperor lay down the country, so he is not the prime minister.
Moreover, the matter of the General's Mansion ended in failure, and I believe that the Prime Minister's promise will not be counted.
In this way, it will not be a problem for his daughter to marry the little prince.
As for Matsuzawa's daughter...... Matsuzawa had already died under the sword of Taifu's Shang Fang, and I heard that Matsuzawa and Jing Guiren had a close relationship, and the two often joked and joked, it seems that Jing Guiren was to miss Matsuzawa, or to thank Matsuzawa.
Manwen and Yurong's hearts both rose to their throats, and the little hands of the two of them grabbed the corner of their clothes, rubbing them back and forth, for fear that the queen would agree to the marriage.
If it weren't for Zhilei resisting just now, being pulled out by someone, and losing face, Manwen and Yurong would be afraid that they would not be able to hold their breath and take the initiative to kneel on the ground and plead.
In today's situation, they don't dare to act rashly!
"Since the Jing nobles have spoken, then send Manwen and Yurong to your Yihong Pavilion. After all, the little prince is young and does not have a separate dormitory, so he will live in Yihong Pavilion for a period of time, and then wait until the emperor will reward Li Jia with the dormitory, and then take Manwen and Yurong to go together! ”
The queen happily came down.
Manwen and Yurong's faces turned pale in an instant, their eyes turned black for a while, and they almost fell to the ground!
Jing Guiren was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, as if he had picked up a big bargain, and kowtowed happily: "The queen is wise!" The concubine thanked the mother for her grace! ”
The queen ignored her and moved her gaze to the last two remaining show girls, one was the second lady of General Tang's mansion, and the other was Mengqi, the daughter of Shangshu Xumin of the Criminal Department.
Sent out of the palace for no reason, I am afraid that I will offend the General's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion.
One is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of the criminal department, neither of which can be provoked.
Thinking of the words of the gods, Prince Wen may be the nobleman of the second prince, and the queen has produced a year that even she herself is surprised.
I have long heard that Prince Wen and Tang Anxia have a close relationship, and they are childhood sweethearts, so they are not as good as ......
