"Are you standing so far away because you're worried that this king will eat you?" King Zhou was very dissatisfied.

Pan Gu had no choice but to take two steps forward with courage, but he drooped his head even more, as if he couldn't hide his eyebrows and eyes under his face.

"Don't you want to be the king's concubine?"

Hearing this question, Pan Gu only felt that cold sweat suddenly oozed from his spine, and he knelt down on his knees before he could think about it, and his eyes didn't even dare to look at King Zhou's black boots: "The slave maid only wants to be able to serve the princess in peace, and she doesn't dare to ask for extravagance...... His Highness is merciful. ”

"What are you so afraid of, is it true that there are rumors that this king is difficult for strong people outside?" King Zhou sneered: "It's okay, it's not difficult for you, the princess is a pure temperament, you are good to serve, and the princess will naturally think about marriage for you in the future." ”

This sudden good news once again shocked Pan Gu.

"Get up and speak." What the man didn't like the most was to scold the slave and maid for kneeling down at every turn, King Zhou secretly thought, and at the same time felt that he was ridiculous.

Pan Gu hurriedly stood up, his panicked mood calmed down slightly, and he had a little composure in the past.

"You should know in your heart why the Xu family can't tolerate you, yesterday you wanted to come to the Chengguo Mansion and met Gu Yiren, do you think you and Gu Yiren ...... Is it similar? ”

"Slaves and maids dare not compare with nobles......"

"Tell the truth."

Pan Gu took a long breath: "In the past, Shen Langjun only thought that the appearance of the slave was somewhat similar to Gu Yiren's childhood, and the slave and maid were only fortunate to witness Gu Yiren's appearance until yesterday...... There are no similarities. ”

"Since you think so, you will not mention these old things again in the future." King Zhou walked forward, hoping that Gu Gangjue was relieved, this relaxation almost hit His Royal Highness King Zhou, who suddenly stopped again, and Pan Gu was frightened and almost knelt down to confess again.

"Do you know who bought you out of a prostitute?"

"The slave and maid did not know, but the slave and maid were settled in a house after getting out of the prostitute, and there were several servants in the house to take care of the daily life of the slave and maid, and refused to reveal who was the engong who ransomed the slave and maid from the prostitute.

"That's really the case......" King Zhou raised his eyebrows.

"But the slave also felt strange in her heart."

"Oh?" King Zhou raised his eyebrows again: "What's wrong, tell me the truth." ”

"The slave maid has never seen the Tao family uncle since she got out of the prostitute, and although Grandma Tao said that she came to make a noise, she was not stopped by the Tao family, but she never really embarrassed the slave and maid."

King Zhou smiled: "You are not stupid, you are quite smart...... Pangu, remember the words of this king, although you are recommended by Tao Cai to enter the Zhou Palace, but your master mother is the princess and not Tao Cai, and you are loyal to the master, which includes reminding the princess not to be instigated by gossip and used by people with ill intentions. ”

"Slaves and maids remember His Royal Highness's teachings, and they will not dare to have two thoughts about the princess."

"Good." King Zhou felt that tonight's walk seemed to have an unexpected joy, he looked at the maids around the princess as if they were not as alert as Pan Gu, if Pan Gu was indeed a smart person, and served the princess wholeheartedly in the future, the inner house of the Zhou palace might be able to gain a powerful arm.

So when King Zhou returned from a walk this night, he was open and honest with Mingzhu: "I have no intention of accepting Pan Gu as a concubine, and transferring her to the princess's residence is another proposition

The concubine's personal maidservant should be good in the future to marry and match the guards, but the princess will hide this matter from everyone for the time being, especially the Tao family. ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Mingzhu was puzzled.

King Zhou was helpless: "The Tao family has a lot of scheming, although it is shallow, but the princess is pure-hearted and afraid that she will be deceived by her, so it is better to be more careful of her." ”

"Your Highness can't make such a decision for no reason." Mingzhu Zhengse said: "Bad intentions can be called sins for women in the house." ”

"Princess, let me be suspicious." King Zhou sighed.

He knew that he couldn't convince his own fair and selfless princess, and his wife was really too virtuous, as his grandmother said, if he really had a position and a day of the ninety-five, the princess would naturally be suitable for the mother's world, so that the intrigues in the six palaces were greatly reduced, but he was still fighting to seize the prince, this war was extremely cruel, Concubine Dong's strategy was not enough to stabilize the inner house of the Zhou Palace, the princess did need help and help, Tao could not be trusted, but Tao had the Empress Dowager Shengci as a backer, and even he would inevitably throw a mouse taboo, At this critical time, we must be careful not to grow extraneous branches.

He had to make a false deal with Tao Cairen, but the princess still refused to be estranged from Tao Cairen and neglected him...... This is really worrying, is it possible that this kind of thing still needs to ask Lan Ting for countermeasures? King Zhou deeply felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person, and sighed endlessly.

——

Yuan Ji returned to the inner house with a solemn face on this day, and before his temper came out, he saw his old wife lift the curtain and enter, with a look of anticipation: "I heard that there is a royal history in the court today to impeach the queen and the emperor's eldest grandson, what is the situation?" The plan of the Chengguo Mansion should be completed, as soon as the storage position was abandoned, the emperor immediately favored Concubine Xian Niangniang and her father, as if he was also completely disappointed in Queen Shen, Queen Shen has lost the qualification of the mother in the world, as long as the virtuous concubine Niangniang ascends to the phoenix throne, His Royal Highness the King of Qi will not become a righteous son-in-law? How else did the king of Qin and the king of Zhou fight with the king of Qi? ”

It's not that Mrs. Hong didn't notice that her husband's face was calm, but she had long been accustomed to the dignified and majestic posture of the old Yuan Pavilion, and she couldn't help but be angry when she didn't notice that her husband was about to be angry, and she raised her eyebrows and sneered again and again: "The shallow woman of the Gu family dares to be so arrogant because of the power of the Empress Dowager Shengde and Princess Zhou, and when the King of Zhou loses power, the Empress Dowager Shengde is afraid that she will have to move out of the Cining Palace, and Zhao Lanting's cultivation can still protect her from running rampant?" I can see if Gu dared to be sharp in front of me at that time. ”

"Madame, did you hear that Cheng Guogong intends to abolish the post?"

"At the banquet that day, there were relatives and friends of the Chengguo Mansion who said this, the eldest grandson of the emperor committed a series of crimes, and it was inseparable from Queen Shen's protection and indulgence all the way, since the emperor has been unbearable to abolish the throne of the eldest grandson, wouldn't it be a matter of course to abolish the throne? Speaking of which, Queen Shen's moral and talented background is indeed inferior to that of a virtuous concubine, and she is not qualified to be a mother in the world at all. ”

"That's nonsense!" Yuan Ji slapped his palm on the bookcase, felt a pain in his palm, shook his wrist a few times, and glared at Mrs. Hong angrily: "The emperor hesitated so much when he deposed the East Palace, precisely because he was worried that the emperor's eldest grandson was the only blood and blood of Prince Xiaoci, and he was forced to depose the emperor's eldest grandson!" The emperor even delayed the holy order to move the emperor's eldest grandson to the high wall of Fengyang, but he was only confined in Nantai, what does it mean, it shows that the emperor feels guilty about the relationship between father and son! Empress Shen is the biological mother of Prince Xiaoci, even if the emperor does not remember the love that has been married for many years, where can he even ignore the biological mother of the late prince!

The situation is so good, it is so ruined, you are still scheming with such a woman as the Gu family, and you feel that you can raise your eyebrows!

What is the importance of whether the virtuous concubine ascends the phoenix throne or not, whether the king of Qi is a concubine? Therefore, there is nothing under the prince

A prince or a concubine? The king of Qi is the longest, and the chief is also justifiable, and the etiquette is legitimate, you want to do this more and add more snakes!

The emperor was feeling ashamed in his heart at this time, and the Wan family actually jumped after the abolition of the imperial history, just like Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, how can the emperor not hate the Wan family and the virtuous concubine? The emperor just gave Concubine Xian and Wan Jia a little sweetness, and they couldn't help but rush to seize power, and you still think such a stupid act is logical?

Empress Shen came from a humble background, even if Concubine Jing was also from a humble background, but there are still concubines and concubines in the palace, and how many concubines are from the family, and the family background of the virtuous concubine is second to none? The ancestral law has long been restricted, the draft is not selected from the elite family, what about Queen Shen's humble background, and there is no shortage of queens from poor backgrounds in our dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China? When you accuse Empress Shen of her origin, you are denouncing the absurdity of the Ancestral Law! ”

Mrs. Hong was stunned by Yuan Ge Lao's stormy reprimand, and she only pressed her chest for a long time.

"It seems that you didn't take the lesson of the first emperor to heart, but now you are still so ignorant and confused, I think you will not go out to socialize with the officials and relatives in the future, and the horizontal and vertical will not help the family at all, if you are ...... If I had been informed in time that the Chengguo Mansion would have such a stupid idea, I would have stopped it in time, and the situation would not have deteriorated to this point! Do you know that Concubine Xian has been degraded again and demoted to Concubine Xian, and King Qi is still kneeling in the Qianqing Palace to plead guilty! ”

In the Taishi Mansion, Chun Gui also heard about this news, which was actually expected, and mentioned it to the third lady and the fourth lady by the way, and the fourth lady laughed out loud: "How many days does the virtuous concubine have to be sealed?" In a blink of an eye, she became a virtuous concubine again, and the Wan family had a lot of fun this time, just to see if the Chengguo Mansion would have a big banquet this time. ”

"The emperor's mercy shows that he has not completely broken off the idea of choosing King Qi as the crown prince." The third lady in one word.

Chungui said: "After all, it is the Chengguo Mansion that came out, and even the virtuous concubines are angry, and the King of Qi will not still insist on abolishing the advice of the queen in this situation, he must choose his own, although the emperor will not completely despair the king of Qi because of this, but it should also reduce points, and the old group of Yuan Ge only use the argument that the king of Qi should be the prince of the prince, and the convincing power is not enough." ”

This night, when Lan Ting returned home, he brought back more news than the rumors: "The King of Qin refuted the advice of the Empress in public in the court, saying that the crime of the emperor's eldest grandson could not implicate the queen, and even more opposed to imprisoning the emperor's eldest grandson on the high wall of Fengyang. ”

"What about King Zhou?"

"His Royal Highness is just an invitation to admonish King Qin." Lan Ting said: "In fact, the Empress Dowager Shengde has already said to the emperor, although the emperor's eldest grandson committed a crime, but since he has been deposed and banned in Nantai, it is already considered a crime, and there is no need to move to Fengyang High Wall to imprison, and the queen is seriously ill at this time, if you know that the emperor's eldest grandson is imprisoned in Fengyang, it is not conducive to the recovery of the disease, and if you don't think about the emperor's eldest grandson, even if it is to take care of the relationship between the husband and wife, the emperor should be lenient." The emperor believed that His Royal Highness King Zhou would never disobey the Empress Dowager Shengde, and it was enough for King Zhou to admonish him. ”

If the king of Zhou followed the example of the king of Qin to refute the advice of the queen in public, but it seemed pretentious, after all, he was different from the king of Qin, the king of Zhou had the queen mother to take care of him, and he never walked on thin ice like the king of Qin in the back court, he did not have to show deference in front of the emperor, for fear that a little negligence would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Among the many princes of Emperor Hongfu, in addition to the late crown prince, it is indeed the most favored king of Zhou.

"Tomorrow, the Empress Dowager Shengci will summon me to the palace to see me." Chungui said suddenly.

Lan Ting's brows furrowed.
