Chapter Twenty-Seven: Amber's Offer
After being questioned by Gonggong Qin's thunderous means, Zheng Da finally couldn't stand it anymore and confessed to Mrs. Du, the mastermind behind the assassination of Cheng Wang.
Although Mrs. Du is Du Miaoyi's biological mother, her favorite daughter is Du Concubine in the palace. Du Miaoyi did bring her glory when she was the crown princess, but Prince Duanhui is dead, and Du Miaoyi can't change anything even if she gives birth to a son.
And the second daughter in the palace is pregnant with a dragon heir, and if she is born a son, she is the eldest son of the emperor. At that time, not only will the daughters and mothers be more expensive than their sons, but their Du family will also be able to follow to the next level.
The new emperor has always been wary of Chengwangfu, if the only bloodline of Chengwangfu is gone at this time, the new emperor will be relieved of the big trouble, and Du Concubine can also get benefits.
Mrs. Du did not discuss with Hou Ye Du, completely out of her own selfishness. Du Miaoyi felt that even if her mother didn't want to see her, she was at most indifferent, but she didn't expect to put her poisonous hand into Chengwang's mansion.
And she was also derelict in her duties, the rules of the Chengwang Mansion were too lax, and the minions dared to deceive their superiors and subordinates, almost killing their son.
Zheng Da owed gambling debts and was bribed by Mrs. Du, and Mama Zheng learned that her son had really betrayed her master, and cried bitterly for her son.
Du Miaoyi is determined to vigorously rectify the rules of the palace, and Zheng Da is the best example of killing chickens and monkeys. So she turned a deaf ear to Mama Zheng's plea, and Mama Zheng saw that she was hard-hearted, and she couldn't help but collapse on the ground all of a sudden.
Zheng Da was handed over to Father-in-law Qin for disposal, and the two nurses who concealed the lack of milk were also kicked out of the house. As for Mama Zheng, if something like this happened, she would never leave her in the palace to serve, and sent someone to send her back to her hometown in Straw County despite Mama Zheng's plea.
The next step is to re-select the person who will serve his son and rectify the rules of the palace. The son's nurse was re-founded, and she was allowed to enter the house after layers of screening to ensure that she was innocent and clean, and because Jinxin was cautious and thoughtful, she asked Jinxin to take care of her son.
The housekeeping of the house was handed over to Father-in-law Qin, as long as it was not a matter related to human life, there was no need to report it to her, and Father-in-law Qin was in charge.
Gonggong Qin took over the task, and when he retreated, he suddenly said: "Niangniang, the person rescued by the secret guard before has recovered from his injuries, and he wants to come and thank Niangniang!" ”
Du Miaoyi chuckled lightly when she heard this, "He has a big life, and he can survive if he is so badly injured." He waved his hand, "No need, let him leave on his own, it will be regarded as a blessing for the king." ”
Father-in-law Qin: "The slave also said the same, but he was too stubborn, saying that he must repay his mother's life-saving grace." ”
Hearing this, Du Miaoyi didn't care much, "Since this is the case, let's check his details first, and if there is no problem, let him enter the Xuanyi Hall." ”
"The minions obey."
Xuanyitang is a guard on the face of the Chengwang Mansion, named because all the members wear Xuanxi clothes. It was originally a gift from Prince Duanhui to his unborn child, and after Prince Duanhui's death, Xuanyitang had already become a place for each family to plant nails.
Du Miaoyi didn't care about Xuanyitang, she held the two secret guards she had taken over from her husband in her hands. One is responsible for the security of the palace, and the other is responsible for checking all kinds of information. Xuanyitang was nothing more than a tool to whitewash the peace, so as to lower the vigilance of the new emperor and the regent.
When Prince Duanhui was alive, as the prince, he had already begun to install his own people in the palace. Du Miaoyi, the crown princess, is not idle, there are forty-two palaces in the palace, and even the cold palace has her eyeliner.
When she left the palace in a hurry, she didn't have time to explain many things to them, and after her son's murder, she decided to find something to do for the nails.
She sent a message to the eyeliner of Chaoyun Palace and Lingyun Pavilion, and asked them to make a big fuss about Concubine Du's pregnancy.
Du Concubine is now the envy of everyone in the palace, with a dragon heir, as long as she gives birth to a child safely, she can rely on her mother. She has an enemy in the palace, and that is the concubine of Lingyun Pavilion.
When Concubine Du didn't enter the palace, she didn't deal with Concubine Jia, and at that time, she relied on her sister who was the princess to frequently give Concubine Jia no face. Jia Concubine is a grudge, Du Concubine entered the palace, and she was also sent in by her family.
The enemies are very red when they meet, everyone is a concubine, and the palace where they live has a cloud word. It's just that Du Concubine is the palace, she is the pavilion, and Jia Concubine is unwilling, so she often goes to intercept Du Concubine's Hu, and Du Concubine is not to be outdone, and she goes to compete for Jia Concubine's favor every now and then.
Du Concubine was lucky and took the lead in conceiving the dragon heir, Jia Concubine didn't know how many handkerchiefs she had broken for this matter, and cursed Du Concubine every day.
There is a palace maid named Pearl in her palace who is responsible for combing her hair, and she is usually silent. On this day, Concubine Jia came back from the queen's invitation, and was angry with Du Concubine's appearance, so she asked Pearl to send it for herself, intending to make up for sleep.
Pearl hesitated to persuade her while passing her hair: "Niangniang, you still don't want to compete with Concubine Du Niangniang, the slave maid heard that her birth is auspicious from heaven, Xiangrui in order to protect the mother, no one can please her." ”
Jia Concubine's face changed, "What did you say?" ”
Pearl immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Niangniang forgives sin, Niangniang forgives sin, and the slave maid only listened to what people said." ”
Jia Concubine sneered, "Just with her disgusting appearance of Du Huayi, can she get Xiangrui's favor?" It must be that slut who deliberately spread rumors in order to win the emperor's favor, and this concubine will never let her get her wish. ”
After speaking, he looked at Pearl suspiciously, and asked sharply: "I am the most honest on weekdays, why did I suddenly talk about this in front of my concubine today, and say, who are you?" ”
Pearl hurriedly kowtowed twice, "Niangniang is clear, the slave maid has no malicious intent." The slave knows that she is not as pleasing as the other sisters, but she really says this for the good of the mother. Before the slave maid was sent to serve the mother, she was often bullied, and no one dared to bully the slave and maid after she arrived at the mother's side. Only when the mother is good, can those of us who serve have something to rely on. ”
Pearl made her heart clear to Jia Concubine, and Amber, the maid brought in by Jia Concubine from outside the palace, coughed pretendedly, and Jia Concubine waved her hand to let Pearl retreat.
When there were only two masters and servants left in the main hall, Amber spoke: "Niangniang, although I don't know if the pearl is really for the good of Niangniang, her words are not unreasonable. The palace maids and eunuchs of the entire Lingyun Pavilion know that only when the mother is favored, can our waist pole as slaves and maids be hard. ”
"Also, there are indeed rumors in the palace these days that the dragon fetus of Chaoyun Palace is auspicious from the sky. The slave estimated that if it wasn't Chaoyun Palace's own fault, someone deliberately passed it on, and the purpose was still the lump of meat in Concubine Du's stomach. ”
Amber has been serving Jia Concubine since she was a child, and Jia Concubine trusts her very much, so she only took one with her when she entered the palace. After listening to Amber's analysis, Jia Concubine asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
Amber suddenly smiled, "Xiangrui is not so good, since it is rumored that she is pregnant with Xiangrui, then let's Liu do the opposite." ”
Speaking of this, she leaned into Jia Concubine's ear and whispered: "The emperor is only superficially kind to the regent, but in fact, he can't wait to get rid of him." Let's let people spread that Xiangrui and the regent are incompatible, or follow the regent's eight characters Ke Xiangrui, so that we may be able to get rid of Xiangrui by the hand of the regent. ”
"What if the regent doesn't do the same?" Jia Concubine was a little worried.
Amber shook her head, "It doesn't matter if the regent doesn't care, as long as the emperor and the queen mother care." Now that the regent is in power, the emperor naturally does not dare to offend the regent, if such rumors appear, do you think the emperor will still care about the child in her belly? ”
Concubine Jia's eyes lit up when she heard this, yes, if the emperor and the queen mother didn't care about the child in Concubine Du's belly, it would be equivalent to giving others a chance to take advantage of. Even if she doesn't do it, there will be someone else.
After all, the queen has always hoped to give birth to the eldest son for the emperor!
After a few days, it was rumored in the palace and outside the palace that Du Concubine's birth was auspicious from heaven, and God sent the chosen son to the world to experience and benefit the people of the world. However, the Chosen Son is not compatible with the powerful Regent, and if he wants the Chosen Son to be born smoothly, the regent must go to Putuo Mountain to practice for a year in plain clothes.
When the Fang family heard this rumor, Fang Mojiao said: "The words of the Chosen One are exactly the same as when I heard the Double Immortal Sect preach two fairy children when I was in Jiangnan. ”
She glanced at King Cheng, who had been raised in the Fang family for a few days, and her intuition told her that this matter had nothing to do with Du Miaoyi.
