Chapter Eighty-Eight: Delusion
Guo Xueying entered the East Palace five years ago as the crown prince, became pregnant the next year, and gave birth to the prince's eldest daughter after being pregnant in October. Because she gave birth to a daughter, except for the crown prince, Emperor Xianqing and Empress Dowager Fu were not very happy. Emperor Xianqing gave his eldest granddaughter the name "Zhao", hoping that she could recruit several sons to the crown prince.
After the prince heard the name given by Emperor Xianqing for his daughter, he immediately quit and grinded in Chenghui Hall for half a month before changing the "Zhao" in his daughter's name to "Zhao".
Although it was not Guo Xueying's idea to change the name, Emperor Xianqing thought that Guo Xueying had blown the pillow wind on the prince. So on the grounds that Guo Xueying's position as Chenghui was not worthy of raising the heirs of the East Palace, he ordered Wei Zhao to be taken to the crown princess Derong County Lord, and was raised by the County Lord Derong.
After her daughter was taken away, Guo Xueying suffered a big blow, and the prince felt even more pity for her when he saw this. Resting in her yard for more than ten days a month, Guo Xueying wanted to take this opportunity to conceive another child, but two years have passed, and her stomach has not moved.
At this time, newcomers entered the East Palace, and one of them also robbed Mr. of the eldest son of the prince. Guo Xueying slowly lost her original favor from the prince.
Although Mrs. Guo is not in the palace, she is always paying attention to her daughter. There is a noble crown princess in the East Palace, Fu Liangdi, the niece and granddaughter of the queen mother, and Yong Fengyi, who gave birth to the eldest son of the prince, Guo Xueying's situation is becoming more and more difficult.
Mrs. Guo asked Yan Niang for the secret of having a child, and Yan Niang was embarrassed when she heard it, because she didn't have any secrets at all.
Mrs. Guo saw that she didn't seem to be a fake, so she asked her family to secretly look for a secret recipe that could make a woman a man in one fell swoop.
Mrs. Guo frowned, which caused Yan Niang and the three of them to become a little depressed.
Xu said quickly: "Sister Sun, today is the birthday of the old lady of Jinyang, you should smile more, so as not to be gossiped about by people with a heart." ”
Mrs. Guo nodded, revealing a reluctant smile. Seeing this, Xu Shi exchanged a look with Yan Niang.
Yan Niang immediately understood, and the topic returned to Guo Hongying, and Mrs. Guo was a little happier.
In the middle of the day, the little girl of the Marquis of Jinyang came to invite the ladies and wives of each family to move to the banquet hall, and the birthday banquet was about to begin.
Yan Niang followed everyone to the banquet hall and sat down according to the order of their seats. She has Xu on her left, Heinz on her right, and Mrs. Guo is a little higher.
Yan Niang was talking to Xu and Heinz when a bewitching middle-aged woman in an emerald green dress walked over.
She said to Yan Niang: "Mrs. Jiang, my eldest sister and I haven't been at the same table for many years, please give me a convenience today, so that my sisters can sit and talk." ”
Yan Niang glanced at her, her eyes looked at Xu, and she saw that there was undisguised disgust on her face.
Yan Niang smiled, and didn't plan to give up her seat, "It should be half a year since Mrs. Yong returned to Beijing, if she really wanted to tell Sister Xu about her sister's affection, she would have gone to Yufu to pay a visit." This will be to make love with Sister Xu at the banquet, and we outsiders feel that it is inappropriate. ”
Xiao Xu's expression changed, and he quickly regained his smile, "Our family first came to the capital, and because of a lot of things, we didn't bother my sister and brother-in-law, thinking about visiting again when we were free." ”
Yan Niang sighed, "Since this is the case, then wait for you to go to Yufu to talk to Sister Xu when you are free." Today's banquet seats are all arranged by the master's family, I'm afraid I won't let you go. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Heinz said: "Don't weigh your identity, can you sit in this position?" ”
Heinz's words didn't give Xiao Xu any face, which made Xiao Xu look embarrassed. She said unwillingly: "I am the grandmother of the emperor's eldest grandson, why am I not qualified to sit here?" ”
Xu, who had not spoken, got up and said, "For the sake of our common origin, I advise you not to say such things again." Everyone in the country knows that the grandmother of the emperor's eldest grandson is Princess Qinyang, which card do you count. ”
After speaking, he lowered his voice and said: "Princess Qinyang also came to the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang today, if she hears that you claim to be the grandmother of the emperor's eldest grandson, what do you think she will think?" ”
Xiao Xu's face turned pale, and he threw down the sentence "I'm too lazy to talk to you" and left in a panic.
Xu sat down and said disdainfully: "The villain is rampant, and when he was not married, he pretended to be weak and bullied all day long, and my good father scolded me several times because of this." ”
Heinz hated the concubine the most, and echoed it: "It's all raised by a little lady, and if you care about her, you will lose your identity." ”
Yan Niang didn't speak, because he really didn't know what to say.
After returning from the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang, Yan Niang and Jiang Yucheng talked about it, Jiang Yucheng shook his head, "The Yong family is too public, and one day it will reap the consequences." ”
Yan Niang was stunned when she heard this, thinking of her husband's current official position, I was afraid that she would see something when she was walking in Chenghui Palace.
At this time, Manman suddenly said to Yan Niang: "Mother, I met Ling Junjun in the Hou Mansion today, she was very arrogant at a young age, and she showed off to her daughter that her sister Ling Wanwan was going to be the second princess." ”
Hearing this, Yan Niang looked at Jiang Yucheng, Jiang Yucheng smiled and said, "The Ling family is also too anxious. ”
What this means is that letting Ling Wanwan be the second princess is wishful thinking on the part of the Ling family. After all, Emperor Xianqing and Concubine Xiang didn't express their position.
At this time, Ling Wanwan, who was being discussed by them, had just gotten up from the punishment kneeling. She rubbed her knees, which were about to lose consciousness, and the hatred for the second prince in her heart was a little more.
She has been in the palace to accompany this wasted second prince for eight years, and she was almost tortured to death by him when she was eight years old. She pleaded with Concubine Xiang and asked her parents for help, and all she got was to let her stay with the second prince for a good life, just don't make him angry.
She was only eight years old at the time, and she cried all night under the quilt, and the next day she tried to play with the waste.
Over time, she also knew how not to provoke him to anger, and how to minimize the damage when he was angry with herself.
In the process of her patience, the second prince became more and more dependent on her, and the torture and punishment became lighter and lighter.
Today's punishment had nothing to do with her. The second prince is fourteen years old this year, and Concubine Xiang felt that he had reached the time to know people, so she gave two palace maids who taught him sexual affairs.
One of the palace maids taught that in order to complete the task of Concubine Xiang, she hid in the room of the second prince wearing a thin veil, and after being discovered by the second prince, she was dragged out before she could make a sound.
The enraged second prince ordered her to be beaten to death with a stick, and the other one did not let go. After killing the two palace maids, he was still angry, and ordered Ling Wanwan to kneel outside the hall for an hour.
Over the years, Ling Wanwan gradually knew the reason why he entered the palace, and hated the Yongyi Marquis Mansion and Concubine Xiang to the core. She desperately hoped that the second prince would marry as soon as possible, so that she could leave the cannibalistic palace.
What she didn't know was that Concubine Xiang's mother and son were also talking about the second prince's wife at this time.
Concubine Xiang remembered that her son killed the palace maid she gave in a fit of rage, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You don't like them to tell the concubine, why do you want to kill them." When your father knows about it, he will rebuke you for being tyrannical and cruel. ”
The second prince said casually: "I am a wasted person, if I am soft-hearted, I am afraid that I will not be able to live for a long time." ”
Concubine Xiang was stunned when she heard this, and said: "A few days ago, your great-grandfather discussed with me that he wanted to marry Chun'er to you as his wife, and give birth to a grandson with the blood of the Liu family as soon as possible after the marriage, so that we can have a chance to compete with the prince." ”
Concubine Xiang's words made the second prince raise his head suddenly, and he sneered, "My father is not yet old, the prince has just passed the age of the crown, and there is a lively son under his knees. ”
Concubine Xiang was a little annoyed, "How can you kid do your best to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?" What if the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang is powerful, your great-grandfather has also attracted a lot of courtiers over the years, and before the end, who can be sure that the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang will win? ”
The second prince snorted, not wanting to say another word to his delusional mother.
When he left Concubine Xiang's residence, he said: "If the mother concubine really wants to marry a wife for me, why bother to seek the near and far, the son thinks that Ling Wanwan can take on this great responsibility." ”
"Bastard, how old is Ling Wanwan." Concubine Xiang was annoyed, "Besides, where is her identity worthy of you." ”
The second prince hooked his lips and ignored her again.
