Chapter 43: The Consequences of Love

As the saying goes, if you take a thief, you have to take the stolen goods, and if you catch a traitor, you have to catch a double!

Gao Chengyan and the Seventh Princess did see the two having a tryst and cheating, but they couldn't stop the man from slipping away fast? In addition, the five princesses swore to die and did not confess, Dou Yingshuo himself and his family were not happy to marry the fifth princess, and the whole family liked Qin Yuhe, who was "extraordinary in life and talent", and the whole thing did not take half a day, and different people for different purposes made the whole capital know, and all classes were boiling and discussing. Concubine De and Concubine Ning ordered several times to kill two mouthy palace maids before they stopped the discussion in the palace.

The emperor was furious: "I don't have such a bad daughter for her!" Concubine Ning, look at what you taught her? ”

Concubine Ning cried to death, no matter how good her verbal skills were, she could only defend at this time: "I'm afraid that Xiao Shizi and the Seventh Princess are wrong, what do they know about children?" ”

"Concubine Ning said this, two people have four eyes, how can they see it wrong? Now you don't want to think about how to clean up the mess, but you still think about how to get rid of it? Concubine De's willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide open, and Concubine Ning, who was blocked all of a sudden, couldn't speak.

In fact, Concubine De has both children and daughters, and is favored by the emperor, since the death of the opponent Concubine Shu, she has hardly torn the concubines in the past few years. It is also because the queen has a headache for the affairs of the third princess and her husband in the past few days, so she has come forward to clean up the mess of the fifth princess. didn't expect that he hadn't been out of the rivers and lakes for a long time, his methods were rusty, and he didn't control other people's mouths in time, so that the gossip spread all over the capital, and the emperor was embarrassed, and he was angry with Concubine De, so she sprinkled this belly of resentment on Concubine Ning's head.

Concubine Ning pinched her handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Your Majesty, Yue'er has not been raised by the concubine since she was a child, and she is not close to the concubine, she has nothing to say in her heart, and she doesn't say anything to the concubine, but she is young and confused, so she has such a big disaster!" ”

"Is being young a reason? Who in the world doesn't know that the fifth princess and the Duke of Dou are married? Now that this scene has come to an end, how should it end? I know that you are a mother who is not strict in discipline, and those who don't know think that the emperor suppressed the courtiers and deliberately made the elders of the Three Dynasties shameless! Concubine De said bluntly, half mocking and half emotionally staring at the kneeling fifth princess: "Fifth princess, what do you say is good about you doing this?" What a picture! ”

The emperor rubbed his temples, looked at the five princesses who were crying bitterly and stubbornly, and looked at Concubine Ning, one head and two big, tired and angry: "Concubine Ning is not strict with her godson, she has caused a big disaster, she has been demoted to a concubine, she has thought about it behind closed doors, and she can't be summoned." ”

"Father!"

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Concubine Ning worked hard to climb to the concubine position, and once she returned to the pre-liberation period, the huge blow made her faint from crying in an instant.

"Father, this matter was done by my daughter alone, and it has nothing to do with my mother! Father ...... "The fifth princess panicked now, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Father, my daughter knows that she is wrong!" ”

"Shut up!" The emperor turned pale, pointed at the fifth princess and said: "People often say that daughters are intimate, but I have a daughter who doesn't know how to be filial every day!" Since ancient times, daughters have listened to their parents, but you are a big idea, and they all want to solve lifelong matters by themselves, and do such bastard things! There is no shame in it! It's okay, since you don't want to marry, then you don't have to marry. I see that Ancheng Temple in the suburbs of Beijing is good, so you can go and meditate! ”

"Father! Father! The fifth princess was frightened, and even crawled and hugged the emperor's leg and begged for mercy: "Father, my daughter knows that she is wrong, her daughter is married to the Dou Guogong family, this time Yue'er must be obedient!" ”

"Drag it out!" The emperor shook his hand and pushed her away, and still entered the inner room without looking back.

———————————

"Is it really that serious?" Jin Shu was dumbfounded: "All sent to Ancheng Temple?" ”

"Everyone knows about this matter, and this is already the emperor's forgiveness of her." Concubine Jing sighed: "It's a pity, it's obviously a good game of chess!" ”

The strength of the five princesses deduced how to break a good hand of cards, not to mention destroying themselves, but also implicated Concubine Ning, not to be Concubine Ning. Jinshu feels sorry when he thinks about it, impulsiveness is the devil, young people still can't be too impulsive!

"But in the end, it is the daughter of my father, and now doing this, it should also be a delaying tactic, right?" Jin Shu felt that in a few days, Ning Concubine would go over and cry and wait for a day or two, and it should be calm.

"Perhaps." Concubine Jing put down the embroidery shed in her hand, looked at the brocade book and said, "You take the seventh princess out to live for two days, and let her relax." Wait until this period is over and then return to the palace. ”

"Uh-huh." Jin Shu nodded in response, this matter is not difficult.

But I heard Concubine Jing say again: "Concubine Fu's brother is doing things in the military department, and it will be useful in the future." ”

"With what?" Jin Shu didn't react for a while.

"Sooner or later, the empty shell will fall, and only with some ability and status can you survive in the capital." Concubine Jing patted her hands and persuaded: "One is prosperous, and one is lost." Can you really ignore the colt? ”

"He doesn't want to go up himself, why should I let him go through the back door?" Jin Shu immediately retorted, staring at Concubine Jing in disbelief: "Besides, can I still beg my father to give him a job?" ”

Concubine Jing stared into Jinshu's eyes, the mother and daughter looked at each other speechlessly, and after a long time, she asked meaningfully: "Shu'er, do you think Shen Zhizhang is really as unbearable as the rumors outside?" ”

"Of course not."

"If it's not, why don't you help him?"

Jin Shu laughed angrily, sure enough, no matter how transparent Concubine Jing is, she can't do without the three obedience and four virtues of ancient women, mainly men. She asked rhetorically, "What does it matter to me whether he is good or not?" ”

Concubine Jing looked confused, as if she couldn't understand what Jinshu was saying: "What is irrelevant?" He's your colt, why is it irrelevant? ”

"Mother." Jin Shu was aggrieved in his heart, and said in his heart, didn't you say that when you asked me to marry? She took a deep breath to adjust her mood, and said slowly, "Mother, I understand what you mean." ”

"If he's motivated, it's not hard for us to find some connections for him. But now that he is playful, is it possible that I will force him to study and improve? Jin Shu expressed his views seriously: "Life is your own, and how you choose is also your own." No matter how much others do, they can't compare to their own determination. What's more, I don't care if he's good or not. ”

Concubine Jing lowered her eyes after listening, turned her head sideways, pondered for a long time, and then sighed leisurely: "You can think so clearly, it is beyond my expectations." ”

"It's just that the two of you have already married, and the wood has become a boat. If you have been so alienated in this life, like a passerby, it will be unfair to yourself, isn't it? Concubine Jing smiled slightly, with a little bitterness: "The mother concubine has tasted a lifetime of suffering, and I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Jin Shu's heart moved slightly, yes, why didn't he think of this? Do you want to be lonely for the rest of your life? Looking at the fate of the fifth princess, it is estimated that it will not work for Hongxing to go out of the wall, and then look at the fate of the third princess, and it has become unrealistic to leave, is she a dignified woman in the new era, and she really wants to hang herself on Shen Zhizhang's crooked neck tree?

Concubine Jing saw that Jinshu was already out of the world, turned her back slightly, and tried to remove a tear from the corner of her eye.

——————————

The carriage creaked forward, Jin Shu listened to the noisy voices on the street, and still thought about what Concubine Jing had said, although some ancient women were pedantic and feudal, but there was some truth. In ancient times, even if you had a mind that was more than thousands of years old, you might not be able to control your own life.

"Sixth sister." The seventh princess hugged Jinshu's arm and asked in a low voice, "Sister, sister, what do you want?" I called you several times and ignored me. ”

"Huh?" Jin Shu came back to his senses and asked with a side face, "What's wrong?" ”

"We don't ...... Don't you go to Shenfu? The Seventh Princess asked tentatively.

"If you don't go to Shen Mansion, let's go back to Mingyuan."

The seventh princess held her cheeks in her hands and said, "My mother told me that if I went to the Shen Mansion, I would say hello to the old lady of their family." Sixth sister, do you have time to take me to the Shen Mansion? ”

"Why do you want you to say hello to the old lady?" Jin Shu wondered.

"My uncle once served as a soldier under the old grandfather for a few years, and he has some friendship with the current grandfather." The seventh princess attached to Jinshu's ear and said: "My mother said that when she was in the boudoir, Grandpa Guo was still General Shen Shao, and he had been to the house once or twice, and he helped my uncle a lot. That's why my mother asked me to say hello to Mrs. Shen. ”

Jin Shu sensitively caught a hint of gossip from her words. According to the age calculation, Fu Concubine and Shen Zhiyan are about the same age, and her brother worked under General Shen and dealt with Shen Zhiyan. At that time, the young general of the Shen family, who was freshly dressed and angry, must have been an arsonist? Who knows how many young girls' hearts have been taken captive?

Maybe it burned to the heart of the concubine back then!

Jin Shunao made up an emotional drama, but the smile on his face was gentle and amiable: "Okay, let's go to Shen Mansion tomorrow and say hello to the old lady." ”
