"What's the matter with the Queen Mother?" Grandpa Wei asked.

"Chase Concubine Yu."

Gonggong Wei put down the teapot and asked, "It's time for Concubine Yu to be posthumously sealed, a while ago, the slave heard some rumors." ”

"The King of Beiping?"

Gonggong Wei nodded and said, "A few years ago, the Queen Mother, you posthumously crowned Concubine Liu as the Jade Concubine, and the King of Beiping had a lot of complaints about this. ”

"What did he say?"

"What can the king of Beiping say, during the New Year, the king of Dong'an County set up wine and invited a few princes to eat and watch the play, I heard that in the palace of Dong'an County, the king of Beiping drank two more glasses, and complained a few words with the strength of the wine."

"He complained that the mourning family had sealed the concubine Liu who had no heirs, and his mother gave birth to the emperor's eldest son or was she just a concubine?" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea.

"Queen Mother, you are really a god, that's what the King of Beiping said."

"Can this be the same? Not to mention her background, Concubine Liu is also a young lady from an official eunuch's family, and when Concubine Yu entered the palace, her family was still a slave. It was precisely because she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son that the first emperor abolished their slavery. ”

"What position is the Queen Mother going to give Concubine Yu Jin?"

"It stands to reason that the king of Beiping is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is not too much for Yu Concubine Jin to be crowned as a noble concubine, but Yu Concubine was against and insulted the first emperor back then, and the first emperor was a little dissatisfied with Yu Concubine, so he was promoted to Yu Taifei!"

"Queen Mother, there is already a Jade Concubine, and another Concubine Yu, and the minions are all muddy. Moreover, Concubine Yu has no heirs, and Concubine Yu is the biological mother of King Beiping. Two concubines whose nicknames sound the same, if the king of Beiping complains, he still has something to say. Do you think that's the reason? ”

"Also, since you can't be promoted to the concubine, let's add a nickname, and add the word 'Zhe' in front of 'Yu', and call it Concubine Zheyu."

"Concubine Zheyu, the king of Beiping has nothing to say now."

"The King of Beiping is a kind-hearted child, and this rumor came from the Dong'an Palace, and it can also reach the ears of your chief administrator. Whether it was the king of Beiping who was drunk and talking nonsense, or someone deliberately fabricated it, the mourning family also knew it in their hearts. In any case, the king of Beiping is the eldest son of the emperor, and the mother is more precious than the son, and I believe that the first emperor will not blame the mourning family in heaven. ”

"If it was so difficult for the first emperor to see the queen mother in the sky, it is estimated that he would have helped the queen mother a long time ago."

"There is also the emperor's biological mother, Mrs. Baohua, when the mourning family was the second concubine, she was the lady of the first grade, the emperor has ascended the throne for the eleventh year this year, and she is still the title of Mrs. Baohua, and it is time to be promoted."

"Look, the emperor doesn't want the queen mother to be careful, so he would rather wronged his own mother than make the queen mother feel uncomfortable."

"The more he is like this, the more uncomfortable the mourning family becomes."

"The queen mother's truth, the slave also understands."

"It's just that it's not the right time yet, so let's wait a while."

"Anyway, it's been dragging on for ten years, and I don't care about this day or two, the slave wants to ask the Queen Mother, are you going to be crowned Mrs. Baohua's concubine? Or the imperial concubine? ”

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly: "His son is the current emperor, and she is a veritable Queen Mother." It's okay if you don't get promoted, but if you don't get promoted to the concubine, the imperial concubine will definitely not work. The officials outside did not agree. ”

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she and Gonggong Wei looked at each other and smiled.

The common heart tumbled in the depths of the hearts of the two: if it weren't for Qin Tianjian's words back then, the position of the empress dowager now would definitely be Mrs. Baohua's.

……

In the depths of the lights of thousands of homes, a ride of red dust flies on the unmanned streets.

In Prince Rong's mansion, a few sleepy doormen sat under the porch to blow the cool breeze. I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that Prince Rong had come back alone.

One of the doormen went out to lead the horse, and the other ran quickly into the inner courtyard to call the butler.

"Lord Wang, you're back." The doorman asked as he took the reins from Prince Rong's hand.

"Go feed some forage, this king will have to go back to the palace later."

"Lord, are you going out now?"

Prince Rong glanced at the doorman and asked, "How many people are on duty tonight?" ”

"Ten people in total."

"Starting tomorrow, I will transfer three hundred forest guards for you, no matter day or night, you four hundred people will guard the gate of the palace for this king."

The doorman did not dare to ask the reason, but when he heard that there were 400 people, forty times the number of people now, he knew that something big was wrong when he thought about it with his toes. Thinking of this, he nodded like garlic.

Prince Rong ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and just happened to meet the butler who hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Lord Wang, you haven't been back for many days."

"Butler, where is the concubine now?"

"Did you say Concubine Feng?"

"Yes!"

"It's not good to be in Xia Qing Pavilion yet."

"Go and tell her that the king wants to see her."

The housekeeper said happily: "What else to say, just go directly, the side concubine has long been looking forward to it." ”

The two of them turned around and walked into Xia Qing Pavilion, only to see that it was pitch black.

"She rested so early?" Prince Rong asked incredulously.

"The slave doesn't know, the slave goes to ask, the prince will wait for a while."

After speaking, the housekeeper stepped forward with a lantern, lifted the curtain and was about to knock on the door, but his body tilted and almost fell into Xia Qing Pavilion.

"Who?"

"I'm the housekeeper, and the prince came to see the side concubine."

"The prince came to see me?"

"Concubine Niangniang, the prince has already arrived at the gate of the courtyard."

"Really? The prince came to see me? ”

"Concubine Fang, take a look outside, don't you?"

"Come on, come in."

The butler went out with a lantern. In the moonlight room, Feng Jiahui walked to the lampstand, lit flints, and lit candles. Silently dragging this candle, he led one, and Prince Rong had already entered the hall.

Feng Jiahui was dressed in homely clothes that could not be seen in color, and her hair was tied in a delicate bun on her head. The slender jade hand held the candlestick, and blessed a blessing, "Lord Jin'an." ”

"Jiahui, why don't you light up the house in the house?"

Feng Jiahui continued to hold the candlestick and lit the second candle flame. The hall is a little brighter, and there are much fewer ghosts of furniture and antiques. Feng Jiahui didn't say a word, walked to the farthest place from Prince Rong, lit the third candle, and the hall was a little brighter, and the ghost was much shallower.

Until all the candlesticks in the hall were lit, Feng Jiahui walked to Prince Rong's side and stood the candlesticks in her hands on the high table beside Prince Rong.

"When I light the lamp, I always feel that the house is empty, and if I don't light the lamp, I can't see anything, but I don't feel that the house is empty."

"Jiahui, if you don't light the lamp, you can make a maid to accompany you, aren't you afraid of such a dark room?"

Feng Jiahui walked to Prince Rong's side, and her affectionate gaze almost swallowed Prince Rong.

"The sixth brother is here, and Jiahui is not afraid." After Feng Jiahui finished speaking, she tied Prince Rong with her arms.

"Jiahui, Jiahui ......"

Prince Rong was obviously frightened by this move, and struggled to break free from Feng Jiahui's embrace.

"Sixth brother, when you hugged Jiahui when you were a child, Jiahui didn't refuse you."

"Jiahui ......" Prince Rong was red-faced by Feng Jiahui.

Feng Jiahui continued to hug Prince Rong again, eager to embed her body into Prince Rong's body.

Prince Rong couldn't break free this time, so he could only let Feng Jiahui hold himself tightly.

"Sixth brother, you finally came to me."

Feng Jiahui pressed her face against Prince Rong's chest. I actually heard a clear heartbeat inside.

Prince Rong's body was already a little swollen, and he pushed Feng Jiahui away and said, "Jiahui, this king has come to you for something else." ”

"Sixth brother, Jiahui heard your heartbeat. You can't fool me, your heart is pounding. ”

"Jiahui, this king wants you to help me."

"Sixth brother, you said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

Prince Rong took Feng Jiahui's hand and sat on the two chairs with the brightest light.

"This king is not using you, this king hopes that you can help this king."

Feng Jiahui smiled and said softly: "Is it for my mother to expose my father?" ”

Prince Rong was a little unexpected, and was still hesitant to tell her about it, but he didn't expect her to know.

"Now that you know, this king doesn't talk much nonsense. Would you like to? ”

Feng Jiahui shook her head, two lines of pear blossom tears slid down her cheeks, looked at Prince Rong with affection, and said, "Jiahui has long been dead to her father. ”

"Don't be upset. This king has heard about your family. ”

"Sixth brother, you and I grew up together, you also know what my father did to my mother."

"Then why wouldn't you?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that my mother doesn't want to."

"Madam Feng is unwilling?"

Feng Jiahui nodded, "If my mother is willing, I won't stop it, but if my mother is unwilling, it's my father after all, and I don't want to lobby my mother to expose my father." ”

"Mrs. Feng's current situation in the mansion, can she still endure it?"

Feng Jiahui still shook her head with tears.

"My mother is a first-class lady, and she is not as good as a concubine."

"Then why wouldn't she?"

Feng Jiahui still shook her head. "I don't know, and I don't want to ask."

Prince Rong was a little embarrassed, and it was a little unkind for Feng Jiahui to lobby Mrs. Feng for this matter. After all, Wu Anhou is Feng Jiahui's biological father.

"Can you let this king meet Madame Feng?"

Feng Jiahui raised her head, looked at Prince Rong with tears in her eyes, and said, "Sixth brother, don't you have anything to say to Jiahui?" ”

"Jiahui, this king has married Wanying, and we are already like this."

"Sixth brother, I also married into the palace, and I am also your family."

"Jiahui, don't be like this, emotional things, you can't be forced, this king will treat you as a sister for the rest of your life."

"Sister? If I want to be your sister for the rest of my life, why should I go to the trouble of marrying into the palace? ”

"If you want to leave, this king can give you a letter of resignation, and you are still free."

Feng Jiahui, in tears, cried bitterly: "Retirement? Brother, Jiahui has liked you since she was six years old, and it has been ten years. Brother, Jiahui likes you. ”

"If you are willing to be in the palace, this king will treat you favorably for the rest of your life."

"Preferential treatment of Jiahui...... Preferential treatment of Jiahui ......"

"Jiahui, this king wants to meet Mrs. Feng recently, can you ask the maids to report to Mrs. Feng."

"Mother probably won't promise you."

"Did Madam Feng tell you?"

Feng Jiahui nodded and said, "Although my father is unbearable and treats my mother harshly, he is my mother's husband and my father after all." ”
