Chapter Seventy-Four: The Crown Princess Zhang
Shangguan Wanyin said disapprenously: "So what? Daddy, you are a general, you have military power, even the crown prince is trying to win you over, even if he knows, what can he do? Can I still turn my face against you? ”
The old general Shangguan was speechless at his daughter's young innocence, and after a while he muttered, "You are childish to say. It is said that once a son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor values our Shangguan family, which does not necessarily mean that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will still value our Shangguan family......".
"Then Daddy, why don't you just support Dingwang? Isn't it good? ”
As soon as Shangguan Wanyin's words came out, the old general Shangguan was so frightened that he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this, turn around and let people hear it, it's a big crime." ”
Shangguan Wanyin looked fearless, she said firmly: "Daddy, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth." My daughter likes Brother Chen, I hope he can be the prince and become the emperor in the future, when the time comes, our Shangguan family will be a relative, at that time, what do you have to worry about? ”
"What do you know as a little child? Who is the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country, and this is not something you can joke about. ”
Shangguan Wanyin grinded in front of her father for a long time, and finally saw that she couldn't grind anything, so she left with a pouting mouth and an unhappy face.
"General, look at Wan'er like this, but what did you tell her just now that she didn't like?"
Seeing Xiao Luo come in with tea, and was given a blank look by his daughter who was angry and walked out, the old general Shangguan shook his head a little uneasily and said: "Wan'er is not sensible, you also know, the child's words don't have to be taken seriously with her." ”
"Yes, the concubine only treats Wan'er as her own daughter, but she thinks of her sister's trust before she dies, and she will feel uneasy when she sees her unhappy. However, general, if Wan'er insists on marrying His Royal Highness King Ding, this family concubine feels that it is a good match. After all, His Royal Highness King Ding is young and heroic, and he was born to the queen's mother, and Wan'er is also a talented man and a woman, which complements each other. What do you say? ”
Seeing that his wife also said the same, the old general Shangguan smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't I know these truths? It's just that the crown prince is fledgling, and the biggest threat to his position as the prince is the king. At this time, let's get involved in the royal family's succession, what good fruit do you say we can eat? ”
Xiao Luo said: "But Wan'er has had a big idea since she was a child, since she likes to set the king, if we don't agree, then won't she want to make trouble?" ”
"That can't be left to her! It's a matter of life and death for our Shangguan family, and this matter can't be tolerated by her! ”
After the old general Shangguan finished speaking, he ordered his wife to call his two sons to discuss the matter. It seems that he is going to deal with many things before King Jun Yuchen returns to Beijing.
Little Roche came out from here and returned to his room. After thinking about it for a long time, he called his confidant and handed her a secret letter he had just written, and instructed: "You go, give such a thing to the crown princess Zhang Niangniang, and tell her ........"
In the East Palace, the crown princess Zhang received Xiao Luo's secret letter, and after reading it, she sneered: "This palace doesn't see it, this Shangguan family style is really open." Shangguan Wanyin, this girl used to look honest, but now that she is older, she also knows how to do some such things. ”
The people around Zhang's side said: "Niangniang, are you worried that the old general Shangguan will secretly throw himself to the side of King Ding because of his daughter?" ”
Zhang nodded and said, "Everyone in the world knows that the old general Shangguan prefers women over men. Several sons can fight well, but they are not looked at by him. It's just that this daughter is not only arrogant but also very willful, but he is obedient to his words, and he almost wants to praise this girl to the sky. Therefore, if Shangguan Wanyin really has this thought, we have to guard against it. ”
"What are you going to do, master? The Shangguan family has a heavy army, if the old general Shangguan really surrenders to King Ding, then it ......".
"Hmph, don't worry, this palace won't let him have this chance."
After speaking, Zhang instructed: "Go and send someone to inform His Highness, and say that after returning to Beijing, he must be left in the palace, and he is not allowed to see anyone in private." As for the Shangguan family, they have their own palace to clean it up. ”
"Yes, sissy."
In Fengyi Palace, Jun Yuchen was kneeling in front of Queen Nalan's bed, begging bitterly: "Queen Mother, my son doesn't want you to use this way to save his son's life. You don't hesitate to hurt your body for the sake of your son, you say, how can I feel sorry in my heart? ”
Queen Nalan opened her eyes and said with some difficulty: "Silly child, the queen mother is your son, and she is willing to do anything for you." ”
"But you can't hurt yourself like that!"
"It's nothing, don't worry, the queen mother's medication has its own measure, and it won't really hurt herself."
Having said that, after Queen Nalan finished speaking, she coughed violently again. Looking at Jun Yuchen's eyes, he felt a burst of distress.
"Master, there is something I don't understand, didn't you always support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the throne? Why do you know that the queen is playing ghosts in it, or do you order to recall His Royal Highness King Ding back to the palace? Aren't you afraid, what will the queen do with it? ”
In the Zizhu Courtyard, the Queen Mother was dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes, sitting on a futon under the shade of a tree drinking tea, listening to Rong Jia's question, she put on a smile and said: "The mourning family still supports His Royal Highness the Prince's accession to the throne now, but the mourning family is still uncertain, so it is good to follow the queen's wishes and make the news of King Ding's return to the palace public." After all, there are some things that you can't take seriously unless you see them with your own eyes. ”
"You mean, the cause of the emperor's illness this time?"
The Queen Mother was noncommittal about Rong Jia's speculation, and only pondered for a moment before saying: "Of course, the mourning family misses Chen'er's child, which is also the most important one. can settle his marriage as soon as possible, and the major events in the heart of the mourning family will go to one. ”
Rong Jia smiled and quipped: "Oh, the slave understands, it turns out that the master wants to hug your great-grandson as soon as possible." Hehe, but the eldest lady of the Song family is indeed a lovely person, master, you have matched this pair, then it is a real talented woman with immeasurable merits. ”
The Queen Mother smiled indifferently and said, "Zichu, this child mourns the family, and it is good, but I don't know what the queen has to do with her and Chen'er in the palace this time?" Also, we all know the queen's temperament, she doesn't plan to match Chen'er and Zichu, but she treats Zichu very politely, which must be a little weird. ”
Rong Jia also nodded and said, "Indeed, this matter is a little strange. Why don't you let our people inquire about it again? ”
"No, the queen knows her way of believing well. If she has the heart to prevent others from knowing, even if our people inquire hard, I am afraid that there will be no result. In short, after the news of Chen'er's return to the palace was made public, the mourning family first facilitated the marriage. In this way, the queen was caught off guard, and at that time, no matter how much conspiracy she had, it would not be useful. ”
In Fengyi Palace, Zichu came back from Zichen Palace, and just after taking off Zijuan's makeup, he saw Jun Yuchen walking back from outside.
Seeing that there was some decadence and sadness on his face, she looked curious and asked, "What's wrong with you?" The sun is coming back from outside, but it's a heat stroke? ”
"No, I just went to see the Queen's Mother. Seeing that she was not lightly ill, she was a little sad. ”
Zichu was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "What you said seems to be how familiar you are with the queen." I advise you not to think about it, people are queens, but not we people can cling to it. ”
"Where do you want to go? The queen is actually ......".
Jun Yuchen wanted to simply tell his true identity and the relationship between the queen and himself, but at this moment, he heard someone outside shouting: "Song Zichu, you come out for me!" ”
Zichu heard that voice very familiarly, and when he thought about it, it was actually Shangguan Wanshu!
Jun Yuchen's face changed suddenly, he looked at Zichu hesitantly, and said a little timidly: "It's terrible, this girl is here again, what's that, you help me deal with it first, I won't go out!" ”
After speaking, Jun Yuchen actually ran behind the screen with his head in his arms and hid, seeing this, Zichu could only roll his eyes at him weakly. Then he opened the door, walked out majestically, crossed his hands and said, "Which dog is barking outside?" It's noisy! ”
Shangguan Wan was stunned when he saw Zichu coming out, and it was a rival in love who was extremely red when he saw him, so he immediately rushed over and said angrily: "You dare to scold people? You- you're so daring! ”
Zichu glanced at her, Xindao had just been stung by a wasp, so soon the scar forgot the pain? Then he replied with a smile: "Who said I cursed? I'm clearly scolding a dog! Miss Shangguan, you are not a dog, why are you in such a hurry to admit it? ”
Hearing this, several palace maids standing aside couldn't help but laugh softly. Shangguan Wanxuan had never suffered such a loss, and immediately said: "You dare to be presumptuous in the palace of the queen mother, who gave you such courage?" ”
"Wait, who said I was presumptuous in the queen's palace? I only brought one maid, and at most I could only put a pair of them. ”
Shangguan Wan couldn't fight Zichu in his mouth, and said with some annoyance: "You-hmph, I won't talk to you about this first, you can tell me, what kind of medicine did you give the queen mother?" Why did she just tell me that she treats you like a daughter now? “
Shangguan Wanyin has had a crush on Jun Yuchen for a long time, and has long treated Queen Nalan as her future mother-in-law. So last time, Queen Nalan told her that Jun Yuchen did not return to the palace, and she believed that she was wrong.
But today, she rushed into the palace in such a hurry, but Queen Nalan praised Song Zichu for being sensible and well-behaved in front of everyone, and the alarm bell in her heart rang up.
