Chapter 187: The Concubine's Counterattack
"The rules of the palace, only those who are above the third grade can be considered concubines, and they can live in the main hall, hold a palace, and raise the emperor's heir!" Yuan Xuepei sighed, "If the former princess Feinuan was only promoted to two levels, and now she is a talent from the fourth grade, even if he successfully gives birth to the imperial heir, pregnancy and childbirth, he is only a concubine from the third grade, and he is just not qualified to raise his own flesh and blood!" β
Although it is said that Feinuan has not yet had a full moon, she has the emperor's favor and her physique is much better than the lady on Da Rui's side, if there is no accident, it won't be long before she will get pregnant again!
"And the Lanqiu Palace where she lives now has no main position." Jian Xubai said, "So in the future, her child will be directly taken away and raised by the imperial aunt!" β
If there is a lord in Lanqiu Palace, the lord has priority for the children of the people in his palace.
For example, King Wei's biological mother was a palace concubine in the side hall of Mingguang Palace, and after he landed, his biological mother was directly carried to Concubine Jiang Xian according to the rules before she could take a look.
But if there is no main throne in the palace, if the palace concubine gives birth to an heir, it will be up to the queen to decide to raise someone - of course, the queen can also raise it herself!
Queen Su obviously had the idea of holding her mother hostage, so she promoted Feinuan by two levels on the scene, which seemed kind, but in fact, she couldn't raise her own child after giving birth, so she could just hold her knees as a hostage;
Who would have thought that Cui Guifei could see the queen's thoughts, and at the critical moment, she took Fei Nuan's miscarriage and forced the queen to give her another level!
In this way, Fei Nuan is now a fourth-grade beauty, and once she is pregnant, she can be promoted to a third-grade concubine; was born, and it happened to be the third grade Jieyu!
At that time, the queen will not be able to take away her children to raise, there is no hostage in hand, and she has a great favor, why should she be loyal to the queen?
It's just that although Cui Guifei did this and put the queen together, if Fei Warm becomes the climate and gives birth to a male heir, the prince is not the first to bear the brunt?
"The concubine should do this not just to block the queen." Yuan Xuepei frowned and said, "The Queen Mother and the two eldest princesses are very taboo about repeating the events of the previous dynasty, Princess Feinuan was just an unknown lady before, these three can still tolerate it, and now they are not only meddling in the matter of competing for the prince, but also the possibility of being promoted to Jieyu and ruling a palace alone, how can the queen mother and the two eldest princesses keep her?" β
"But the imperial aunt and the concubine nodded in unison, and they couldn't resist the imperial grandmother!" Jian Xubai's face was solemn and said, "What's more, the imperial aunt is in danger of raising tigers in the future, and I wish this matter was stopped by the imperial grandmother - I'm afraid the imperial uncle nodded!" Otherwise, nothing can be achieved at this level three! β
- Princess Feinuan was pregnant before and was not promoted, which is the meaning of the queen mother!
So how could the Queen Mother agree to give her a third-level promotion?
"I haven't seen Your Majesty pay much attention to her in the past year, otherwise she wouldn't have been obscure!" Yuan Xuepei pinched his eyebrows and muttered, "How can you come out of your head now?" β
But when I thought about Princess Feinuan's amazing beauty, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's troublesome now!" Jane's master in the emperor's heart, even if it's just a palace concubine, it's not easy for us to moveβat least not openly! You have to guard against playing bitter tricks over there! β
Speaking of this, Yuan Xuepei's face changed suddenly, he looked at the doors and windows, lowered his voice again, and then said, "When we were in Wuhuan, the lord of Wuhuan had intended to marry Princess Feinuan to you-this matter, do the concubines and sons know?" β
Jian Xubai understood what he meant, and after a deep sigh, he said, "It's just a private matter, and it involves a woman's name, so I didn't tell them." But even if they knew, they wouldn't make a big deal about it in order to bring down Princess Feinuan. After all, it can't be drawn, not to mention, just to say that this matter was brought up by the lord of Wuhuan at that time, Princess Feinuan said, 'The order of her parents, she never had such intentions', can the imperial uncle still suspect her of anything? β
Yuan Xuepei also knew this truth, he would remind his friends, but it was: "The original marriage, in fact, Princess Feinuan took a fancy to you, and privately said that the lord of Wuhuan would personally come forward as a matchmaker - but you had no intention of her, so you insisted on not accepting it, and it took a few days to get rid of it!" However, the princess who will fly warm is still the golden branch and jade leaf of Wuhuan, although she has suffered such a blow, she can still not lose her innocence; But now ......"
The current princess Feinuan is ruined, has no relatives, and is still in the harem - who knows if she will hate Jian Xubai out of love?
"Originally, Mrs. Song's incident this time made the concubine's mother and son save mustard, if you add such a thing, I'm afraid that even if you are cousins between you and the prince, you will have to fall into the gap!" Yuan Xuepei said solemnly, "It's not that I suspect that the prince is open-minded, but although you have been raised in the palace since you were a child and often see him, you haven't seen him for six years, this prince is different from Your Majesty, he has always been used to smooth sailing!" β
The crown prince has been a prince since he was a child, and he has always lived under the wing of Emperor Xianjia, and suddenly encountered a major setback, and it is naturally difficult to adjust his mentality quickly.
But Song Yixiao made a plan, so that the dormant Princess Wuhuan found an opportunity; If you add another Jian Xubai refusal to marry, it will cause Fei Nuan to anger the entire prince faction after gaining power - the prince is very likely to blame his predicament on Jian Xubai and his wife!
"At that time, even if he hinders the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and the queen mother, and can't bear it, but these two, let me say something disrespectful: they are both a little old in the end!"
Yuan Xuepei sighed, "It's not that I said Mrs. Song, she misses the maid's loyalty, but this move is really too much for Meng Lang!" Of course, I'm also to blame for this, if I hadn't gone through that troubled water back then, her maid might not have had an accident! β
Speaking of this, seeing Jian Xubai glancing at himself, he thought for a moment and said busily, "Now that the matter has happened, let's discuss how to deal with the aftermath - in my opinion, this warm beauty must be eradicated as soon as possible!" In this way, the prince can avoid being separated from you to the greatest extent! β
"The imperial uncle is obviously already interested in her, this will rashly move her, and it will only cause trouble for the prince!" Jian Xubai was silent for a while, but shook his head and said, "Besides, there is the imperial grandmother watching in the palace, and she can't make any waves for the time being!" β
He also said, "My mother asked me to solve the problem with the Jin family for the prince, I went to visit Jin Suke today, but he simply looked at the credentials I gave him and nodded directly!" But there are also a few requests, what kind of consent method do I want? Please come here to discuss this. β
β¦β¦ When twilight fell, Yuan Xuepei returned to the Marquis of Boling's mansion.
At the second gate, Yuan Xuexu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Yuan Zhan pushing his brother in, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Brother, you are back!" β
Walking to the side of the wheelchair, she immediately stuffed the heater in her hand, and tucked the blanket covering her lap for Yuan Xuepei, seeing a few snowflakes falling on the blanket, she couldn't help complaining, "Grandpa Jian is really good!" What urgent matter does my brother have to go to the Yanguo Mansion to discuss? Can't he come to our house? This big winter calls you to run around! β
Yuan Xuepei smiled and watched his sister busy around him, and said gently: "He will be uncertain, but he doesn't dare to get angry, so he has to choose a familiar place to speak, so as not to be unable to control his temper!" β
Speaking of this, I couldn't help sighing, "Princess Feinuan is so stunning, she didn't succeed Ah Xu when she took the initiative to make a promise, I don't want this Mrs. Song to be able to make Ah Xu pay attention to this!" Xue Cao, after you leave the cabinet in the future, learn more from her! β
"How's Shanmiao doing now?" When Yuan Xuexu heard this, she asked with concern, "Is she okay?" The eldest princess and Grandpa Jane...... Have you ever embarrassed her? β
When Yuan Xuepei heard this, he frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I said that you are waiting here to worry about me, and you are not worried about your girlfriend?" β
"Oops! Brother, of course I'm waiting for you here! Seeing this, Yuan Xuecao hurriedly hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Doesn't it look at you well, let go of this heart, can you care about Shanyao?" β
"Don't worry, the eldest princess took her to the eldest princess's mansion last night, but this morning she let her go back to her mansion well, what kind of punishment is this?" When Yuan Xuepei heard this, his eyes flashed, and he chuckled, "As for Ah Xu, didn't I say it?" Ah Xu will be angry like something, but he is afraid that he will be angry with her and leave a mustard, and he will force her to say good words! β
Yuan Xuexu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked worriedly: "Now there are rumors outside, although it is said that the culprit is Cui Jianlian, but the matter is big, will the royal family be angry and good?" β
"It's hard to say, but you also know that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has a lot of status in the royal family, not to mention that the crown prince can't afford to offend this aunt right now." Yuan Xuepei said, "So I think she shouldn't be in any big trouble!" β
Speaking of this, he quietly changed his words, "Grandmother has been moving these days?" β
"The day before yesterday, the second aunt came again, locked up in the house with my grandmother and muttered for a while, God knows what she was thinking?" Yuan Xuexu didn't suspect it, and was immediately distracted.
While speaking, the two brothers and sisters had already entered the house, and Yuan Xuepei patiently listened to her sister talk about the changes between her grandmother Mrs. Tu and her aunt Liang, and gave a few words of encouragement, so she sent her back to her embroidery building to settle down under the pretext that it was late.
After his sister left, the warmth in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he was silent for a while, and then he said to Yuan Zhan, who was standing beside him: "You ask the guards in our family who are not married, who is young and passable, and who has no parents above, who is willing to do something for me, there will be a heavy reward!" β
Yuan Zhan hurriedly asked, "What does Master Hou want them to do?" β
"Marry that crippled maid of the Song family!" A touch of coldness flashed in Yuan Xuepei's eyes, "I also have a share in the cripple of that maid back then!" There is no me in the design of the Song family this time, it may not be that I don't care about Xuecao and Ah Xu's face, I am afraid that it was the idea of letting the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and Ah Xu give her the aftermath from the beginning, so she deliberately bypassed me! β
"It's just that you think seven years ago how old she was? is such a good at forbearance, but he is also deeply favored by Ah Xu! β
"If I attack her, I basically can't hide it, won't it ruin our friendship for many years? But it didn't go well to instigate Ah Xuan to dislike her - it was impossible to guard her carefully in the future, right? β
Yuan Xuepei pinched his eyebrows tiredly, "In addition to bowing his head and admitting his mistakes, what else can I do to make amends?" The Song family is now a noble order, and after she has this. Taiwan, that maid doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and what she lacks now is a good home! β
"Grandpa Jane is too chilling!" Seeing the haggard look of the master in the wheelchair, Yuan Zhan couldn't help but say angrily, "How many years has he been friends with you?" If nothing else, just your legs, if it weren't for him, how could something happen? The Song family only married into the Yanguo Mansion in September last year, which will make a big deal for her crippled maid, and make such a big fuss, even Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is anxious - if he doesn't hurry up to deal with such a troublesome woman, he will even acquiesce to the woman's threat to you! β
"If you hadn't tried to 'talk' with him back then, would you still be able to live as our brother and sister?" When Yuan Xuepei heard this, he showed a hint of ridicule and said, "What do you say I have been friends with him for many years, in fact, I am afraid of following in the footsteps of my parents, so I seized the opportunity to coax him to communicate with me often, and took advantage of his momentum to save my life and this title!" β
As for his cripplement, "it is not so much a matter of being implicated by him as it is ......"
After a pause, he didn't mean to say it, but said, "The love between husband and wife is no less than the righteousness of friends, not to mention that he and the Song family are still among the newlyweds, how can this be ruthless?" β
What's more, "Let a guard suffer a little grievance can turn a war into a jade silk, why do you want to go against such a person?" β
As for the aggrieved guard, in his capacity, it is only a trivial matter to compensate the other party willingly.
Yuan Xuepei decided to put down his body, and after ordering Yuan Zhan to do it immediately, he leaned back, closed his eyes and recuperated, and secretly thought: "This Song family is so forbearant and so resentful, and the suspicion must not be small!" She gets along with Ah Xuan day and night, and she is sure that Ah Xuan is willing to protect her-how can Wei Mengying's biological daughter not even have this confidence? β
The question is, "She is so reckless about Ah Xu's future, isn't she afraid of the eldest princess or the queen mother?!" β
He didn't believe that Song Yixiao, who had never taken a few photos with his mother-in-law and had met the Queen Mother very rarely, would risk his life to bet on the love and partiality of these two!
"There must be a backhand!"
But the city government is like Yuan Xuepei, this will also be incomprehensible, "What is the back hand that makes her sure that she will be fine?" β
In the flash of light, a thought crossed his mind, "Could it be that she is pregnant?!" β
