One hundred and eight, become a wind demon
She said solemnly to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, I have said all I have to say. To this day, everyone knows that you are the most favored by the emperor in the harem. But despite this, there are still two palaces above you, the queen mother and the eldest princess, is there no one to control what you are doing in the palace today? ”
"Hmph, who can control me, the emperor has indulged me so far. Even the queen mother of the two palaces doesn't care about the emperor and me. As for the eldest princess you mentioned, the eldest princess doesn't care about our business. If you don't believe me, just ask. ”
Wan Zhen'er smiled proudly as she spoke, and Tang was stunned by her and didn't know what to say for a while.
Wan Zhen'er sighed and said, "Alas, old lady, although you said that you were unkind to me back then, I can't be unjust to you." You've lived this old life, and I don't want it. If I want your life, won't others say that I am unkind? So, I'm definitely not going to do you any favors. But you did something wrong in the first place, and you can't help but pay the price. So as long as you kowtow three times in front of me now, I can be okay with the things of that day, if not..."
After speaking, Wan Zhen'er glanced at Yu Mian fixedly.
In fact, she looked at Yu Mian this time, just to see what kind of attitude Yu Mian showed when she said to herself and Mrs. Zhang.
Who knew that this eye fell on Mrs. Zhang's eyes, and Mrs. Zhang thought that Wan Zhen'er would be unfavorable to the crown.
She and Yu Qian only have one son, Yu Mian, and they have always regarded them as pearls in their palms.
And Yu Mian has always been the most obedient. So I have always been very precious in the crown.
She saw that Wan Zhen'er seemed to be casually glancing at Yu Mian just now, and felt that she had a deep meaning.
So she was very panicked and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, what are your intentions? You might as well say it, but why bother. Okay, since you want Lao Sheng to kneel down and kowtow to you three times, then Lao Sheng will kneel down for you right now. ”
After speaking, Mrs. Zhang leaned forward and was about to kneel down for Wan Zhen'er, but Tang was shocked but quickly stopped Mrs. Zhang, she turned her face and angrily reprimanded Wan Zhen'er and said: "Mrs. Zhang is the wife of a loyal minister, and she is so old now. You still want her to kneel on this cold floor and kowtow to you, can you afford it? ”
Wan Zhen'er sneered and said, "What can't I stand it? Some people do it themselves, but that's not the case with me. Shouldn't some people be punished for doing wrong? ”
As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear her breath any longer, so she knelt down and kowtowed to her.
And at this time, Mrs. Zhang Tang was shocked and stopped.
Tang was shocked to change her previous gentleness, and she said to Wan Zhen'er with frost on her face: "Okay, since this is the case, we will go to the palace to find the eldest princess to comment on it today, and see what the eldest princess has to say about it." Didn't you say that the eldest princess had already ignored the affairs of the harem? Okay, I'm going to take a look at it today. ”
After speaking, Tang was shocked and pulled Wan Zhen'er to go out.
Wan Zhen'er just wanted to humiliate Yu Mian's mother to vent a bad breath in her heart.
I didn't expect that Tang Jingran was also here.
And what surprised her the most was that Tang Jingran and Yu Mian were in love, which made her very unacceptable.
But she knew that Tang Jingran had always been a person on Jian Huaizhen's side, and she couldn't be offended, so she wanted to vent her anger at Mrs. Zhang.
Who knows, this Tang was shocked but ran out to help Mrs. Zhang, which made Wan Zhen'er very unhappy.
But as soon as she heard Tang said that she was going to find the eldest princess to comment, Wan Zhen'er's face suddenly turned pale.
She looked at Tang Jingran's appearance as if she really wanted to do this, and she felt that if she and Tang Jingran went to the eldest princess to comment on it, the eldest princess would not be on her side anyway. Then it will be you who will be humiliated.
Therefore, she refused to go with this Tang Panic no matter what.
Seeing this, Tang Jingran understood that she was weak-hearted.
Therefore, she solemnly said to her: "Okay, since you don't want to go with me to the eldest princess for comment, then Concubine Wan Guifei asks you to leave here quickly." If not, I'll go and invite the eldest princess over at once. ”
Wan Zhen'er saw that Tang was shocked to suppress herself with Jian Huaizhen, and for a while, she was angry.
But she also knows that although she has now become a concubine. But compared to the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Eldest Princess Jian Huaizhen, he is really insignificant.
They are now taking care of the emperor's face, so they don't do anything to themselves.
But if one day, they won't even give the emperor face. If you have to settle old accounts with yourself, you won't be able to save your nine lives at that time.
Therefore, she flicked her sleeves and said to Tang Jingran: "Don't pull and pull." Okay, okay, for your sake of saving me that day, I'll stop here for today. But old lady, the grudge between me and you is not over. ”
After saying that, Wan Zhen'er turned around and left without looking back, and Mama Chen hurriedly followed from behind.
When Wan Zhen'er disappeared, Mrs. Zhang fell heavily on the chair.
She looked up to the sky and sighed, "I have never encountered this kind of anger in my life. And it's the concubines in the palace who make me so angry, and it's really a joke when I say it. It's all because I didn't know Jin Xiangyu at the beginning, so I didn't leave this Wan Zhen'er in the house. So much so that today she became the imperial concubine, and only then did she come back to bully me. ”
Mrs. Zhang is usually a very arrogant person, but now that she has been humiliated by this Wan Zhen'er, she will inevitably feel resentful.
Seeing this, Tang was shocked and hurriedly persuaded from the side: "Old lady, don't think so, this Wan Zhen'er can be seen from this, she is a person with a bad heart." If the old lady had left her in this mansion in the first place, maybe she would have done something earth-shattering. Although she is now in the palace and is the imperial concubine, in this harem, there are still two queen mothers, as well as the eldest princess, and no one will be able to control her. Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely talk to the eldest princess about today's incident after I go back. ”
After Mrs. Zhang heard Tang's many persuasions, her heart calmed down.
After the old housekeeper helped Mrs. Zhang to rest, today's matter ended unhappily.
Yu Mian said to Tang Jingran very gratefully: "Jingran, today's incident is thanks to you, if not, I really don't know how to end." I really didn't expect that this Wan Zhen'er would suddenly become a person like this. I remember when I rescued her, she was a very pure person. ”
Tang shook his head and said to him: "There are many things you don't know, there are originally sinister people in the rivers and lakes, let alone in the harem. The harem is a bloody place, compared to the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes. ”
Therefore, after this Tang Jingran has been trained in the harem, he has become what he is now, which can be encountered.
"Maybe you're right, but I really didn't expect her to be where she is today, and I remember when my mother kicked her out of the house. Actually, my mother didn't do that on purpose. Because her background is not good, her mother thinks that if she lives in the house, she will be talked about. Although her mother threw her out, she also gave her thirty taels of silver at that time. ”
Tang was shocked to hear this, and nodded lightly in understanding.
Because thirty taels of silver was already a year's income for an average farmer at that time.
If Wan Zhen'er can use the thirty taels of silver to start a small business, or do something, she will definitely survive well.
But instead of being grateful to the old lady, Wan Zhen'er also tried every means to humiliate and retaliate against her. It can be seen that Wan Zhen'er was originally a person with a bad heart.
She is at this point today, and she has no reason with others, but her own demons are troubled.
Tang was shocked to be the same as the crown, and the two of them talked for a while.
Yu Mian felt very sorry, and said to Tang Jingran: "Jingran, I'm really sorry, what was supposed to be a good thing today was so disturbed." I was going to bring you to my mother, and we all had a good meal together, but—" He said this and looked at Don with great apologies.
Tang shook his head and said with a smile, "Do we still need to say such kind words between us?" Besides, it's just a homely meal, and when you can't eat it. As long as you have time, go to Huaiming Garden to find me, I have come to your house for dinner, is it okay? ”
When Yu Mian heard this, his heart was full of joy, and he liked Tang Jingran more and more.
Not only because Tang was shocked to have a peerless beauty, but also because Tang was shocked by this person, and all the women he saw on weekdays were different.
Tang Jingran is not only empathetic, but also strong in martial arts. And she has her own opinions and reasons about everything, and she is a very righteous person. This made Yu Mian feel very appreciative.
After Tang and Yu Mian and I talked privately for a while, the two of them said goodbye.
Tang was shocked and returned to Huaiming Garden, and Ji Qihan greeted him. teased her and said, "Shocked, you went to see Mrs. Zhang today, I don't know how it is, how are you doing?" Can you pass Mrs. Zhang's level? ”
Tang was not as happy as Ji Qihan thought, and her face was covered with a layer of frost.
When Ji Kaihan saw it, he thought that she was acting very well in front of Mrs. Zhang, so he persuaded her: "Okay, I'm just joking with you, don't take anything to heart." Sometimes when people get older, their thoughts will inevitably be stranger. If Mrs. Zhang is dissatisfied with you in any way, don't take it to heart. Wait for her to slowly influence her in the future, time will tell. ”
Tang was shocked but still shook his head, and said to Ji Qihan: "Uncle Ji, it's not like that. Today I went to Yufu to visit the old lady, who was very kind to me. ”
"Oh? In that case, why are you still frowning? Is there anything more serious than the old lady treating you badly? When Ji Qihan heard this, he became interested, and he looked at Tang and asked in a hurry.
Seeing this, Tang was shocked to tell Ji Qihan about Wan Zhen'er taking Mama Chen to the Mian Mansion to provoke in the palace.
It just so happened that Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng also happened to come over, and when they heard Tang Jingran say it, they both felt very different.
said in a loud voice: "How can this Wan Zhen'er say that she is also a concubine in the palace, how can she go to the minister's house at will to make such nonsense?" ”
"Isn't it, it's too much. Throughout the ages, I have never heard of a concubine running to the minister's house to make a fuss, this matter is really ridiculous. Ji Qihan said from the side.
Ji Qihan was born in a family of eunuchs, and he knows the affairs of the court and the court very well.
He was really angry in his heart, so he said this.
Tang was shocked and frowned, and when Fang Xiao saw this, he comforted her and said, "Apprentice, if you have any matter, you might as well tell your princess and aunt, she will definitely be able to help you solve it." ”
Tang was stunned and meditated for a long time, but did not speak.
Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng and others, seeing her like this, had to let her go.
They knew that Tang Jingran was a very thoughtful person, and she must have a way to solve this matter.
Since she didn't speak, she must have a solution in her heart.
Two days later, Jian Huaizhen came to Huaiming Garden, and everyone wanted to surprise Tang and tell Jian Huaizhen what happened in the mansion.
However, because Tang Jingran did not agree to let everyone speak, it was difficult for everyone to speak.
Jian Huaizhen had heard Ji Qihan say before that Tang was going to the Mian Mansion.
So after she saw Tang Jingran, she pulled Tang Jingran over and asked, "I heard that you went to Yu Mian's Mansion before, I don't know what the old lady's impression of you is?" ”
Tang was shocked to see Jian Huaizhen asking, and couldn't help but have a sad face, and nodded to Jian Huaizhen for a long time.
Jian Huaizhen saw that she nodded very reluctantly, so he asked her, "What's the matter, isn't the old lady dissatisfied with you?" ”
Tang shook his head in shock, and said to Jian Huaizhen with some embarrassment: "Aunt Princess, don't ask about this matter again." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Jian Huaizhen was slightly surprised, because she had never seen Tang Jingran look like this.
Tang was shocked to see that Jian Huaizhen had been asking, so he had to tell the situation that day.
She said to Jian Huaizhen: "I didn't want to tell Aunt Princess about this matter, I don't want to bother Aunt Princess. ”
Jian Huaizhen's face turned pale with anger, and she said, "You have to tell me about this matter." If I hadn't told me, how would I have known that this Wan Zhen'er was so bold that she dared to sprinkle outside the palace. This matter, after the palace goes back, we must question her well, and we must not let her get away with it. As a dignified imperial concubine, she went to the minister's house privately to humiliate the minister's mother. It's unbelievable to say this. The more Jian Huaizhen spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he spoke, the more difficult it became to restrain himself.
Tang Jingran had long known that if he told Jian Huaizhen, it would definitely cause this consequence.
After all, Jian Huaizhen is the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and she has always been very concerned about things in the palace.
Although because she didn't want to put too much pressure on Zhu Jianshen, she didn't ask too much about the things in the palace for the time being.
didn't expect that Wan Zhen'er would become more and more lawless, and dare to do such a thing behind their backs.
Jian Huaizhen decided that no matter what this matter was, he had to tell Zhu Jianshen about it.
If Zhu Jianshen doesn't care, she will also unite the queen mothers of the two palaces to interrogate Wan Zhen'er together.
Wan Zhen'er must not be allowed to be so arrogant and destroy the rules of the harem and the court.
Tang was shocked to see that Jian Huaizhen was already angry, and she felt a little regretful for her quick mouth just now.
Jian Huaizhen comforted her instead: "Shocked, you didn't do anything wrong in this matter, you should have told me." If you don't tell me, how do I know that Wan Zhen'er is so unreliable. If I don't know that she does things like this, how can I teach her a lesson and set an example for the concubines in the six palaces. If everyone is so ignorant, then there is no order in these six houses. ”
Tang was shocked to hear what Jian Huaizhen said very reasonably, so he nodded slowly and said, "I respect the teachings of the princess's aunt." ”
Tang Jingran talked to Jian Huaizhen for a while, she remembered something, and for a while, she wanted to speak and stopped.
Jian Huaizhen saw that her face was embarrassed, so he first asked, "Shocked, I look at you, it seems that something has happened?" What the hell is going on, you might as well tell me about it. ”
Tang was shocked and said to Jian Huaizhen slowly: "Aunt Princess, when I was poisoned and sick in bed before, that Wan Zhen'er once came to me. ”
"Huh? Wan Zhen'er brought you to this Huaiming Garden? Tang's shocked words were beyond Jian Huaizhen's expectations.
Tang nodded slowly and said, "Yes, it's just that she asked me not to tell you about it at that time, so I didn't say anything to anyone." ”
Jian Huaizhen asked very strangely: "What is the matter that Wan Zhen'er came to you, does she have any intentions against you?" Jian Huaizhen looked at Tang in disbelief.
Tang Jingran thought for a while before he said slowly: "That's not it, when she came, she told me that it was Aunt Princess who told the emperor that I was dead." So she wanted me to give a strand of my hair to the emperor, and at the same time persuaded the emperor to be diligent in politics and stop indulging in the nostalgia of my death. ”
When Tang said this, she raised her face and looked at Jian Huaizhen.
Jian Huaizhen finally knew why Tang Jingran didn't tell what happened that day today, it turned out that she was afraid of revealing this matter.
Jian Huaizhen lowered his head and thought for a while, before he raised his head and asked Tang Jingran and said, "Jingran, you shouldn't tell a lie in front of the emperor, saying that you have died of incense." ”
Tang Jingran pondered for a moment, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Aunt Princess, I wouldn't think like that. I know that no matter what you do, you must have your own reasons. ”
"Yes, I have my own reasons. That's because the emperor likes you, and he likes you to the point of going crazy. I think if you don't think about dispelling the emperor's thoughts, it will not only be the emperor who will suffer, but also you. ”
Tang was shocked and didn't understand why Jian Huaizhen said that he would be sad at that time.
Jian Huaizhen explained to her: "I know that you yearn for freedom, you don't like the court, you don't like the emperor, and you don't like to be a little concubine in the harem, right?" ”
Jian Huaizhen's words resonated with Tang Jingran.
She immediately nodded and said, "Aunt Princess, you're right, I don't like the life like a cage in the harem at all. What I like is to be free and live outside. It's like a bird flying freely in the sky. ”
Jian Huaizhen's eyes were as calm as water, and she said to Tang Jingran: "Yes, I have always known that you have this kind of thought in your heart, but the emperor's love for you has reached the point of going crazy. I can only say to the emperor that you are no longer in this world, so that the emperor can dispel his thoughts about you. And you don't have to be uneasy because you are afraid that the emperor will summon you to the palace. ”
Tang was shocked to hear Jian Huaizhen finish speaking, and then he understood why Jian Huaizhen did this. It turned out that everything she did was for the sake of herself and the emperor.
Tang was shocked with embarrassment on his face, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Aunt Princess, I really didn't expect that the emperor would like me. I don't even know why the emperor likes me, and I'm so much older than him. ”
Jian Huaizhen laughed, her smile was very warm.
She said to Tang Jingran: "Jingran, you are a little out of sight when you say that. Don't say that the emperor likes you, if I were a man, I would definitely like you. You are a good girl, and it is a blessing for the emperor that he likes you. But the emperor can't deprive you of the right to pursue your freedom just because he likes you, let alone summon you into the palace to trap you. I know that you like Yu Mian, and Yu Mian also likes you, you are two lovers and two loves. So I told the emperor that you were dead, so that the emperor could completely dispel his thoughts about you. ”
