238 Chapter 231 Joy

"Concubine thank the emperor for the reward." Xie Danniang smiled, bowed slightly to Lan Shikang and said.

"I not only want to reward my concubine today, but also make my concubine even more happy." Lan Shikang said rather mysteriously.

Xie Danniang's eyes swept towards the queen, her smug look was revealed, and she said, "I don't know what the concubine is happy about?" ”

"One here is a daughter, the other is a sister-in-law, they are all their own families, and they are already quite restrictive on weekdays, so today they are exempted from those rules! Spread my word, let Scholar Xie and the mighty Marquis not have to be formal, just come in! After speaking, Lan Shikang glanced at Xie Danniang and Jiang Ruyue, and said, "The two of you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, so you may not have seen Scholar Xie and the mighty Marquis for a long time. I am happy today, and I will make you happy and happy. ”

"Sure enough, it's a joy and a joy, thank you to the emperor." If Xie Danniang was the first blooming flower with a smile just now, then at this moment, it could be regarded as a completely blooming appearance. Looking at her expression, she was even more proud than just now. It seems that Jiang Ruyue can see Marquis Wei Wu today, and it is all because of her blessings.

Since entering the palace for more than five years, Xie Danniang has seen her father many times, and she can count it on one hand. Many things rely on Concubine Shu to make people to spread the letter. Even if she wanted to see her mother, she had to go to Jiang Ruyue in person to ask for a gift. Seeing my father today is also a joy to be had.

"Minister, see the queen mother, mother thousand years old thousand years old; See the imperial concubine Niangniang, Niangniang is healthy and happy. Xie Zhengzhong and the mighty Marquis both knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two most noble women in the harem.

"Brother." Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but be overjoyed, and many tears oozed from the corners of her eyes. He personally stepped forward, and after calling lightly, he helped up the mighty marquis.

"Auntie, let my father get up quickly!" Xie Danniang was inconvenient to stay, but she couldn't bear to kneel in front of her father who had not seen her for a long time, and saw that the queen had already helped up the mighty marquis with her own hands, and hurriedly opened her mouth to urge Concubine Shu.

"Haha, looking at the two concubines, I was so happy that I cried. Okay, I'll go back to the Imperial Study first, and I won't disturb your family's reunion here. After talking about your own thoughtful words later, don't be in a hurry to get out of the palace. Come to the study, I have something to discuss with the two of you. With that, Lan Shikang got up and strode towards the door of the dormitory.

"Congratulations to the emperor." The crowd shouted.

Seeing that the emperor had already left, Jiang Ruyue couldn't wait to say: "Presumably, Scholar Xie also has a lot to say to his sister, so the palace will not bother here." Saying that, Jiang Ruyue looked at the mighty Marquis and said, "Brother, come with me to the study?" ”

The mighty Marquis nodded, and said to Xie Danniang who was above the phoenix collapse: "The imperial concubine is resting, and the minister will leave first." ”

Xie Danniang was also in a hurry to talk to her father, where would she say something that she didn't like again, so she naturally nodded casually and looked at her father with a blank eye.

"Congratulations to the Queen." Xie Zhengzhong, like the mighty marquis, bowed to Jiang Ruyue with a very respectful attitude and said. Although their relationship is their own master, after all, this is in the harem, and their every move must not escape Lan Shikang's eyes.

Jiang Ruyue took the mighty Marquis to the study, led him to a seat with her own hands, and after ordering the palace maid to serve tea, only Mama Fang was left to serve, and the rest were sent outside the study by her.

"Brother, tell me what you and your father are planning to do? That Xie Danniang was against me everywhere, I just reprimanded her twice, and the emperor was grounded in the Feng Dynasty Palace. It's good now, she is even more pregnant, forcibly occupying my bedroom, you say, how can you want me to endure it? "Harem women, don't see men easily. Jiang Ruyue finally saw her brother, so she naturally poured out all the bitter water in one go.

"Yue'er, you are not young anymore, why are you still so temperamental? Before you got married, your father often taught you at home to think calmly, think later, and plan before acting. Look at what you look like now, have you done that? The mighty Marquis raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ruyue, and after taking a sip of tea, he said.

"Calm? How can I still be calm? You're not in this harem, so you naturally don't know how I've been here all these years. My father asked me to marry the man he fancied, and well, I got married. My husband became emperor, and everyone was envious of me. But who knows how many women I will share a husband with? That's it, but in this harem, I don't know how many people like Xie Danniang are waiting to find my fault. I do a lot of calculations every day, for fear of making a mistake. Xie Danniang was a little hysterical, looked at the mighty Marquis and said.

"You were born in the Mighty Marquis Mansion, and you have been pampered since you were a child. You said when you were a child, you don't want things that are not the first in the world, and you don't marry men who are not the first in the world. Thousands of miles of territory are all owned by the Son of Heaven. Father helped the emperor ascend to the throne, isn't it so that you can enjoy more glory. That being the case, it is natural to give something. The mighty Marquis looked at Jiang Ruyue seriously and said with a serious face.

Jiang Ruyue stood up from her seat, turned her back to the mighty Marquis and said, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it anymore, have I heard less of these words over the years?" Jiang Ruyue suddenly turned around, looked at the mighty Marquis and said, "Brother, I just want to know, what are you going to do with the child in Xie Danniang's belly?" Every time I see my sister-in-law, the answer she gets is always a little calm. But these things cannot be mentioned in the letters, and if she does not ask clearly at this time, then when? The emperor is not so interested in letting her meet her brother every day.

After the mighty Marquis lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he stared at Jiang Ruyue and said, "Recently, Xie Zhengzhong deliberately asked the courtiers to jointly write a letter, take the throne of your queen, and support his daughter to the throne. ”

Jiang Ruyue felt that this matter was really ridiculous, and asked with a sneer: "Why?" Who does he think he is? If it hadn't been for the mighty Marquis Mansion to pull him, he would have been crushed by the emperor five years ago! ”

"Maybe he needed to rely on us to survive, but now, the emperor needs him to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers, so he can't be killed. As for why? Don't you know? You have not been able to produce anything for so many years, and you have not been able to give birth to a justifiable crown prince for the emperor, which has long been criticized by the courtiers. Xie Zhengzhong, the old horseman, naturally wanted to use this as a reason for the abolition. "The mighty marquis is also quite helpless about this matter. If Jiang Ruyue can successfully give birth to the prince, then the status of the Mighty Marquis Mansion will naturally not have any possibility of being shaken. Even if those rats want to stir up some troubled waters, they can't mess with the emperor's heart.

"Brother, didn't you say that you want to foster Xie Danniang's child under my name? Even so, even if I don't have anything to do, the Nalan Dynasty already has an heir. So what excuse does he have to abolish the queen? Xie Danniang felt ridiculous, just a child, just wanting to shake her queen's position, it was too ridiculous.

"Last time, Xie Danniang almost had a miscarriage in your Feng Dynasty Palace, and I have already asked your sister-in-law to reprimand you. Even now, you still have this as your whole hope all day long? Even if you are willing to accept Xie Danniang's child, will Xie Danniang be willing to give up the child? Xie Zhengzhong's plan is probably far from that. The mighty marquis's face looked quite serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What more does that old puppet want? can make the child born to his daughter become the crown prince, and he has already raised their family! Besides, there is also the emperor! It is impossible for the emperor to abandon the mighty Marquis Mansion for a small Xie Zhengzhong. If there is no support from the Mighty Marquis Mansion, I don't know who this throne will pass on! Although Lan Shikang has been quite fond of Xie Danniang during this time, she knows that the emperor has always kept her in his heart. Otherwise, he would not ignore the opposition of the courtiers and allow her to stay overnight in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"A few days ago, the emperor secretly left the palace, and you shouldn't know about it." The mighty Marquis looked at Jiang Ruyue and said.

"Out of the palace?" Jiang Ruyue's expression was quite surprised. She was in charge of the affairs of the harem, and she didn't even know when the emperor had left the palace. Jiang Ruyue asked with a puzzled expression: "What is the emperor doing when he leaves the palace?" Where did it go? ”

"When the emperor left the palace that day, he naturally went to see his father in the mansion of the Marquis of Weiwu. The two talked for a long time in the study, and did not leave until the sky began to turn a little gray. The mighty Marquis knew what Jiang Ruyue wanted to ask next, paused, and continued: "Father didn't tell me clearly, but I asked that day, and my father said, 'It seems that my decision that day is indeed the most correct choice. ”

When Jiang Ruyue heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "What my father means is that the emperor's heart is still towards us." I don't know what they said, but as long as we know this, we don't have to be afraid of anything! ”

"You're too early to be happy. The current emperor may decide to abandon Xie Baojiang, but if one day, he feels that the existence of our mighty Marquis Mansion has no use for him, what do you think will be the consequences for us? The higher you stand, the more painful you fall, haven't you yet understood? Marquis Wei Wu sighed and said. In this world, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies. In a different state of affairs, all kinds of relationships will change.

"I know, but what can I do?" Jiang Ruyue touched her abdomen and said confusedly: "If I have a child, if he is already the future emperor of this Lan Dynasty, then what else do I need to plan?" ”

"So, no matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, the prince in Xie Danniang's womb must be fostered in your name and become the crown prince of this Lan Dynasty!" Marquis Wei Wu looked at Jiang Ruyue's eyes, and the essence flashed.
