Chapter 24: The Beginning of the War
The first emperor did not give birth to a son, but left behind a full five princesses.
Among them, the eldest princess of Ruyang, her husband Xie's family is the most powerful, and she is arrogant and extravagant by nature. Emperor Yan Cheng had already been unpleasant, and it was not good for him to come forward in person, so he came to force the Xu family to make a move.
Queen Xu is now feeling the heavy weight of her phoenix crown day by day.
If you want the ultimate wealth in the world, how can you not pay the price?
At the beginning, Taishi Xu secretly made a bad move, forcing Emperor Yan Cheng to make his wife and concubine into a concubine and concubine, and helped his daughter to take the throne.
Now that I can't think of anything, I'm afraid that her life as a queen will not be easy.
Not to mention whether she was pregnant with a man or a woman, it is not yet known.
Since Concubine Xian left, she was not the only one pregnant in this palace.
The background of some concubines is not much lower than her. The emperor may not be the only one who can choose.
Empress Xu closed her eyes and summoned her mother to the palace.
When Mrs. Xu heard this, her face was embarrassed, "The eldest princess of Ruyang has always been arrogant, so how can the Xie family be easy to mess with?" And several princesses are in the same breath, and there is also the queen mother in the palace. ”
Empress Xu smiled bitterly, "Mother thinks I don't know?" But you see, Concubine Xian sent those unseemly things on the front foot, and the emperor followed on the back foot. With a peace charm in the main hall alone, I have to be grateful, and hang this peace charm on my tent every day. Mother, don't you understand? ”
Mrs. Xu is also from a family, and she has more than ordinary people when she is born.
The daughter mentioned it a little and understood.
With Concubine Xian's unobtrusive temperament, she must have deliberately sent some little girl clothes to disgust the queen, and the peace charm was just a remedy for His Royal Highness the King of Han.
But the problem is that the emperor's heart is biased!
He is willing to help the mother and son play a round, in the world, who can say that they are not?
Queen Xu stroked her belly, her eyes were complicated, "If I am lucky to get a boy in this child, my mother thinks that the princess will be very happy?" ”
No way.
The princesses had to give up the throne to outsiders because they had no brothers. But after Emperor Yan becomes emperor, who will help him to ascend to the throne?
Now there are a few princesses, but they are desperately searching for beauties, wanting to be stuffed into the harem and have children.
The deep meaning is self-evident.
Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth, "I'll tell your father when I go back!" ”
The Xu family wants to splash the sky, and helping their daughter to ascend to the back seat is only half of the success, and helping the child in her daughter's belly to sit on the dragon chair is considered to be a positive result.
Since sooner or later there will be a battle with the princesses, let's get started!
"Wait." Empress Xu grabbed her mother and whispered in her ear, "Let my father think of a child, and place a few people in Jiangzhou and other places near Huzhou, and make sure that there are no traces." ”
Looking at the coldness in her daughter's eyes, Mrs. Xu was slightly shocked.
"Your Highness, you're still young, aren't you?"
"No matter how young you are, you know the reputation of the tree. It's not about doing anything right away, it's about it first, and then it's about it. ”
Mrs. Xu has been in charge of the inner house for many years, but she is really not a soft-hearted master.
secretly thought that if her daughter really gave birth to a son, the eldest son of King Han would indeed be too much of an eyesore.
In the eyes of nobles like them, they never felt that they had robbed their husbands and sons-in-law.
On the contrary, if what I want is first tainted by such a low-born slut, then this slut deserves to die. It is already generous to allow their mother and son to live for so long.
Mrs. Xu should leave the palace, and Queen Xu looked up at the peace charm on the tent, hooking her lips to reveal a touch of sarcasm.
emperor
More and more like an emperor.
I don't know how long he and his eldest son can last together?
Huzhou Mansion.
The originally lively backyard is now quiet.
His Royal Highness the King of Han finally said that Concubine Xu Xian moved to the Han Palace.
Originally, Concubine Xu Xian was unhappy.
Due to a flood, except for a few main courtyards, there is not even a garden cleared up there. Not to mention that Min Bai dragged a lot of materials and went to Bailongguan to repair the lighthouse first.
But Min Bai insisted on moving.
So many of them live in the government office, it is too disturbing to other people's official business. And his mother doesn't know how to be humble, so she simply wants to treat this mansion as her own back house.
Although Huzhou was his fiefdom, the imperial court only had the power to collect taxes and defend in order to prevent the vassal king from making rebellion, but it could not interfere too much with officials.
Therefore, His Royal Highness coaxed Concubine Xu Xian away under the pretext of saying that he wanted to "study quietly", saving him from "delaying his homework and displeasing his father".
Others just returned it, but Lord Taihe, the governor of Huzhou, was very grateful to His Royal Highness for his thoughtful heart. All the needs of the royal palace are met first.
Ruigu, who stayed in the government on this day, ushered in the official Yapo again, and thirty or forty little girls who wanted to sell themselves.
It's a pity that Ruigu still didn't take a fancy to it.
Ya Po smiled, "Good aunt, I've been here three times, and you haven't picked a few." What's wrong with it, I'll change it, okay? ”
Rui Gu said, "It's not that I mean to make things difficult, it's just that these girls have mediocre qualifications." Even if you stay, you will have to get a messenger to sweep the floor and bring water in the future, so why bother with training? ”
She can't say it directly, what she wants to pick now is the personal palace maid prepared for His Royal Highness.
After learning the rules for a few years, and then choose the best one, before the marriage of the King of Han, guide the personnel for him and serve as a concubine.
That Ya Po is also used to moving around in large families, and when she said this, she guessed a little, but she was just embarrassed.
It is difficult for poor families to raise beautiful people. Where there is a little scheming, who is willing to be content with their duties?
Those big families, if they want to choose a good maid, they have to choose from the children born in the family. But the mother and son of King Han had a shallow foundation, so they had to buy and train from outside.
Ya Po thought for a while, "If my aunt wants to find a good one, can I let my mother-in-law go to the good book to inquire?" Naturally, they will not force Liang to be a slave, but if they can enter the palace, many families may not be unwilling. ”
After all, there have always been many sparrows that want to fly on the branches to be phoenixes.
Rui Gu shook her head suddenly, "We are new here, so we don't need to disturb the people for this." If there are bad rumors, it's not good. Horizontal and vertical are not in a hurry, you just pay attention slowly. ”
Ya Po answered the call and left.
But privately, I quietly expanded the scope of my search.
And Rui Gu couldn't help but think more and more about the beautiful girl at this time.
This little girl is the most suitable person in her mind.
The character is good, but also pure and intelligent.
As long as it is trained, it can be a very good personal palace maid and concubine.
It's a pity that he came from a good family.
That's still to be a lady quietly and live a life in peace.
At this time, Mama Zhao and Xiaocui, who sent the beauty back to her hometown, came back.
After a hard journey, Xiaocui angrily began to complain.
She said all kinds of evil things about Lin Junren, and Mama Zhao supplemented it more objectively, but she also sighed.
"It's a pity that such a good little girl has such a pair of fathers and mothers. If we weren't there, we would have almost lost our lives. ”
Rui Gu sighed in her heart.
When she saw that the beautiful girl was so precocious and sensible, she felt that she was not a favored girl. But what is the way to be reincarnated into such a family?
Just wanted to let them go down to rest, His Royal Highness King Han came in with a black face, obviously having heard it.
"Go and invite He Zhifu here, I have something to say!"
it!
The little beauty he rescued from the flood is worth sixty taels?
He is a dignified king of Han who sacrificed himself to save others, and it is worth sixty taels?
What a bastard!
