Chapter 139: The palace is in turmoil
According to the Dayong system, not all the daughters of the vassal king can be named the county lord, and the daughters of the queen are only qualified for this. And unless the daughter of the concubine is specially favored by the emperor and the queen mother, she will be crowned by grace before she can get the share of the county lord. In addition, when it comes to marriage, because they need to balance the forces of all parties, sometimes the marriage is too high, so they will be specially named the county lord to give them the matching status.
For example, Lord Rou Shu is an example.
This county lord is the third daughter of King Ning, four years older than the main county of Huaizhen, originally three years ago and Xu, two years ago he promised to marry can be married, but because she wants to marry Liu Lie, the fourth son of the Donghu Liu family, and Liu Lie was promoted to the general of Zhengsi Pin Zhongwu because of the brave battle in the Northern Expedition, but Beirong was not destroyed, he was still left in the border guard of Donghu County.
The lord of Roushu County married, it was a real distant marriage, not to mention the bitter cold of Donghu, her mother Concubine Song was very unbearable, and deliberately entered the palace in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and begged tactfully, the Queen Mother remembered that Concubine Song was such a daughter, and she was born as a concubine of the Song family in Fengzhou, so she was especially allowed to keep her daughter for two years and then marry.
Originally, the county lord's wedding date was set for October this year, and the last time An entered the palace, he casually mentioned it.
Su Ruhui had also heard the name of the county lord of Roushu once, and now she was surprised when she heard Zi Ran say that the county lord jumped into the well well, and immediately threw aside what Gan Ran had just come to, urging Zi Ran to explain.
Zi Ran threw a piece of agarwood into the golden incense burner in the tent, and even in Zhao Nanyuan, he deliberately lowered his voice, obviously this matter is not small: "It is said that the third son of Ning Wangshu and the half-brother of the county lord of Rou Shu, Gan Yuan, drank a few more cups, and strayed into the Yao Bixuan where the county lord lived for a moment, what happened here is only known to the county lord and her personal maid, but the two maids were already dead when they were found, and I heard that they were strangled to death by Gan Yuan himself!" ”
"What?" Su Ruhui was dumbfounded, "Could it be that Gan Yuan ......?"
"After King Ning found out, he tried his best to block the news, and on the other hand, he sent an order from the palace to urge Queen Ning to return to the palace as soon as possible, but the news still came out in the end - now the entire imperial capital is in an uproar!" Purple Dye said carefully.
Su Ruhui thought about it quickly, but she didn't get angry, but laughed knowingly: "Queen Ning was born in the Wang family, and she has always taken care of the palace very carefully, and when she returns to the palace, there will probably be no rumors - however, I heard that Concubine Song is the daughter of the county lord of Roushu, and she has made a marriage contract with the concubine of the Liu family of Donghu, and now that this kind of thing has happened, let alone marriage, whether she can have the face to continue to live is a question, I'm afraid she will fight hard with the Duanmu clan, right?" ”
"What Miss said is very true, but you don't know that this time King Ning is even more angry than Concubine Song-" Zi Ran pursed her lips and smiled, "Queen Ning returned to the palace about two hours ago, and as soon as she entered the mansion, Concubine Song had not yet gone up to fight with her, but King Ning actually gave her a slap in the face in front of his subordinates!" ”
"Huh?" Su Ruhui stopped smiling and said in surprise, "King Ning is so far?" It seems that what his father and brother said are right, King Ning is indeed very fond of his third son, Gan Yuan! However, the Duanmu clan was not in the palace at the time, even if she was the queen, she was the mother of many children in the palace, and if something happened to King Ning's two children, how could she be counted as a crime of having no way to discipline, but King Ning had too much, and it was estimated that the imperial history would be impeached in two days! ”
Zi Ran shook his head and grinned: "Miss, this is a mistake, the imperial history will definitely not impeach King Ning for slapping the queen in public!" ”
"Oh, why is that?"
"According to King Ning, the pot of wine that Gan Yuan drank was given by Queen Ning the day before yesterday, and the reason why Gan Yuan strayed into Yao Bixuan was precisely because Queen Ning was temporarily summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother this time, and many of the things used by the little prince did not bring all the things, and this morning I invited a father-in-law in the palace to take her letter back to the palace to get some things, and it happened that the father-in-law met Gan Yuan, because the father-in-law urged him tightly, Gan Yuan took a shortcut, and this will pass outside Yao Bixuan!" Zi Ran said with a smile, "These words were drunk by King Ning in public to question the queen, and now the imperial capital has spread the word, and it is said that the Duanmu clan deliberately framed King Ning's beloved son in order to consolidate the position of the little prince, and even did not hesitate to implicate the lord of Roushu!" ”
Su Ruhui narrowed her eyes: "What did King Ning say personally?" Ha, then it will be difficult for Duanmu to get out this time. ”
"Isn't it?" Zi Ran said with a smile, "Mrs. Fangcai sent a slave maid to give you good news, but seeing that you haven't woken up yet, this will be the Hou Ye, Mrs., and the three sons are discussing in Youguang Hall, whether to take the opportunity to bring the county lord Huaizhen in." ”
"Father, their hands and feet are really fast, but Lord Huaizhen is afraid that she is not so easy to start, after all, she is King Ning's blood, King Ning will not wait to see her, at most he will not care about her marriage, not to mention that the concubines in the palace will call her into the palace from time to time to meet her, and they will take care of one or two."
"Miss praised the wrong person this time!" Zi Ran suddenly said, "This time it wasn't Hou Ye and they did it!" Otherwise, there is no need to discuss it now, and the next step is naturally ready. ”
Su Ru said strangely: "Isn't it my father's plan? So who did it? It can't really be Duanmu, right? In my opinion, this Queen Ning is not such a brainless person, she will never leave so many flaws if she wants to harm Gan Yuan! ”
"This ...... Master Hou, they were still discussing who did this just now. Purple said.
Su Ruhui frowned for a long time, and felt clueless: "No matter who it is, but the Duanmu clan is finished now, but I didn't expect King Naning to love Gan Yuan to such a degree, but unfortunately, the private matter is the most difficult to explain, especially the lord of Roushu and Gan Yuan are half-siblings, even if the Duanmu clan is abolished, the status of the little prince Ganzhen has plummeted, but Gan Yuan's reputation has become bad, and he can't bear the position of the son of the world." ”
"In this matter, Duanmu and Gan Yuan both lost, and it is naturally the other concubines of King Ning who take advantage, presumably one of these people." Su Ruhui groaned.
"Good young lady, you can think about these things later, and drink the medicine of this hour." Zi Ran pursed her lips and smiled, walked out of the tent and brought in a bowl of medicine, this medicine was hot when she brought it over just now, so she put it outside to cool down, and took the opportunity to lead Su Ruhua to talk and cheer up, and now it is estimated that the time is almost up, so she naturally has to take advantage of the warm and warm to bring it in.
Su Ruhui frowned and drank the bitter medicinal juice, returned the medicine bowl to Zi Ran and said: "I am dizzy after drinking this medicine, you don't have to wait here, and go to the front to inquire about the situation to tell me, especially how is the Duanmu clan now?" ”
"Slave and maid, go now." When Zi Ran heard this, she served her to lie down again, and carefully put a lamp on the outside, and then quietly retreated and closed the door of the inner room.
As soon as Zi Ran left, Su Ruhui hadn't closed her eyes yet, the figure in front of her flickered, and Gan Ran's face was not very good-looking, and Su Ruhui's eyes suddenly widened when she saw this: "Why haven't you left yet?" ”
"Your family wants to deal with Queen Ning and Huaizhen?" Gan Ran asked rhetorically.
