Chapter 48: Schadenfreude
[Chapter 2, Volume 2]
Section 83
Duanmu's worry-free reaction was expected by Gu Yiran, and he smiled: "It's not Wei Changfeng, it's Wei Changfeng's sister." ”
"Miss Wei?" This time, even Liu Xixun showed a look of surprise, leaning forward slightly, with interest, "Shen Zangfeng's fiancée? Wei Changfeng said that there is a female dependent on Xiaozhu Mountain, is this one? What about the people? He asked "how is the person", but his face almost wrote "It's best that this Miss Wei family is ugly and difficult to see, ask Shen Zangfeng to marry a dominatrix" and "Not only is the appearance of the deputy dominatrix, but even better is that this young lady has a bad temper, and it is good to be jealous and quarrelsome"......
Duanmu was worry-free but very suspicious: "The living people go up the mountain, but the dignified daughter doesn't want to avoid it, what you see is really Miss Wei's family?" ”
Although he doesn't like Wei Changfeng, Fengzhou Wei's and Jinxiu Duanmu and Donghu Liu's are tied for the six valves in the sea. If it is really the young lady of the Wei family, especially the young lady who has already decided to marry and is about to leave the cabinet, how can it be possible for a foreign man to bump into him at will?
So Duanmu Wuwu thought, "Don't you Wei Changfeng, a child who is obsessed with women at a young age, and under the guise of traveling, brings beautiful maids, domestic prostitutes and the like to the mountains to hang around?" ”
Famous families and nobles have been rich and noble for generations, and they can be inherited for hundreds of years without falling into the family's reputation, and most of the descendants are prosperous, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven. The children of the clan are certainly intelligent, capable, and diligent and motivated, so as to bring the family to the next level; There are also those who pay attention to manners, elegance and good talk, and only enjoy family support, but do not ask about world affairs, such as respecting the public and the like; There are also people who rely on their family backgrounds to be wealthy, spend all their days drinking, and do not want to make progress.
The last one is available to all ethnic groups, although people in the same clan also look down on them, but in the end, they are connected by blood, except for scolding a few unworthy descendants, they can't drag people out and beat them to death.
Since Duanmu Wuwu has made up for Yiwei, of course he is not this kind of person who does not want to make progress, and he does not look down on this kind of famous disciple. He hated Wei Changfeng very much, so he naturally thought about Wei Changfeng in such a place - even if he knew that Wei Changfeng was so familiar with the laws of scripture and history, he was definitely not an enterprising person, but ...... Let's talk about it well!
Gu Yiran reminded implicitly: "The hut on the mountain is small, and that young lady should not know that we will go up the mountain, so she will bump into us." If it weren't for an accident, how could we meet at will? When I went up, I saw her strolling along the stream with her maidservants, and her attendants were all good, and the people wore hats, and I did not dare to look at them more. But it's also a coincidence, when going down the mountain, Wei Qing wanted to take us to avoid, and deliberately chose the path behind the house, not wanting the young lady to think the same way, so he just spent time in the bamboo pavilion behind the house...... On the bamboo pillar of the new bamboo in the bamboo leaf green pan Huan Pavilion, it is almost the same color, and it is a loss to Zong Qi's eyes, and the dagger in the sleeve is popped out, and the snake is nailed to the column. ”
"Brother Deng's eyesight has always been unmatched." Duanmu Wuwu heard what Gu Yiran meant, since Gu Yiran was sure that they met Miss Wei, he casually speculated that the identity of the female dependent was bad, which was an offense to Miss Wei, although there was no Wei family here, but he plainly slandered the real daughter as a maid and a prostitute, and he was undignified.
What's more, this Miss Wei is also the fiancée of someone they know...... Then he said, "If it weren't for Brother Deng, our Shen Zangfeng, who was not the first person in the imperial capital, hehe!" "Shen Zangfeng is known as the first person among the young people who have not been crowned by the emperor, and he is a personal guard, and he has been in the limelight in recent years, and he is also very praised in front of the saint. Although Duanmu Wuwu is from a slightly lower background than Shen Zangfeng, they are all noble children, and it is when their blood is strong, who is willing to serve whom?
I only heard that this head was always a little hostile to Shen Zangfeng, but now that he thought that his companion had saved Shen Zangfeng's fiancée once, he felt that he had the opportunity to laugh at Shen Zangfeng - no matter how powerful Shen Zangfeng was, what would he do? It's not Deng Zongqi, even his fiancée can't protect him!
I didn't want Deng Zongqi to smile indifferently: "Originally, I thought it would be a good shot, but later I found out that even if I didn't make a move, that Miss Wei might not be fine." ”
"Why did Brother Deng say this?" In addition to Gu Yiran, Duanmu Wuwu and Liu Xixun were very surprised.
Deng Zongqi and Gu Yiran glanced at each other, and then said: "It's just because this Miss Wei is really not weak, although I don't know if she has only learned hidden weapons, but more than ten zhang away, she can use a jade hairpin with a round hairpin to pierce another bamboo leaf green ...... With such strength, I'm afraid that even if Zhu Yeqing swims into the clothes, once it is discovered, with this young lady's agility, she may not be able to hurt her. ”
Duanmu Wuwu and Liu Xixun's faces were full of incredulity, and they were dumbfounded: "Are you talking about Miss Wei, or is it the secret guard of the Wei family?" ”
Deng Zongqi said: "Since she is Miss Wei Family, Wei Changfeng knew about this change, and chased to the back of the house in a panic, and even called 'eldest sister', the granddaughter of the Wei family is in the imperial capital, and the only one who can make Wei Changfeng call her the eldest sister is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the big house, and his only sister is the one who was promised to Shen Zangfeng." ”
Gu Yiran saw Duanmu Wuwu and Liu Xixun looking at him, understood what they meant, and nodded: "That's true, this Miss Wei is very bold, Zong Qi found that the first bamboo leaf green was only at the height of her head, and because the situation was critical, he didn't have time to explain, and the dagger flew into the pavilion and pointed directly at her head...... It is said that the women in the boudoir are men such as us, and when they are sitting in the pavilion and suddenly encounter this change, they will be so frightened that they will cry out and even collapse to the ground. However, the young lady was not only not shocked, but even after understanding the reason, she was able to immediately tidy up her dress and come out of the pavilion to thank Zong Qi! In the middle, his maid found another bamboo leaf more than a dozen feet away, and before the Wei family guards could make a move, they were killed by this young lady who pulled out the hairpin between the maid's hair! ”
He and Deng Zongqi glanced at each other and said with a wry smile, "It's the first time I've seen such a lady!" In this sentence, seven points of amazement and two points of appreciation, and one point is more complicated.
"......" Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi are not liars, the two of them proved in unison that Miss Wei is skilled, Duanmu Wuwu and Liu Xixun suddenly fell silent, and for a while, the burly and stout Liu Xixun actually sighed and said, "Shen Zangfeng himself has firmly sat on the throne of the first person in the imperial capital, how can even his wife be so terrible!" ”
Everyone knows that he has lost to Shen Zangfeng three times and twice, and he doesn't often say it, but he really holds back his strength in his heart, but he doesn't want Shen Zangfeng to defeat him several times, even his fiancée is so fierce...... Gu Yiran was about to comfort him, not wanting Liu Xixun to roll his eyes, and suddenly his resentment disappeared, but he gloated, "This Miss Wei is so powerful, and she was shocked by Zhu Yeqing in the pavilion, in front of your foreign guests, she killed another Zhu Yeqing without suspicion to take revenge - such a decisive killing, I'm afraid it's not a tigress?" I'm afraid that as soon as I pass the door next year, I will roll up my sleeves, and Shen Zangfeng will play obediently and obediently...... This marriage is well knotted! Well done! ”
He happily raised the tea bowl and said sincerely, "I wish this Miss Wei a long future and a long journey for her children, and she will manage Shen Zangfeng so much that she does not dare to look east and west, and south to the north!" ”
…… Gu Yiran coughed dryly and said, "Let's talk about the next hurried." "A group of people are so far away from the imperial capital, and they also have a holy destiny in their bodies, and they still don't forget to curse Shen Zangfeng to marry a tigress through the door - the more this happens, the more you can see the depth of the shadow that Shen Zangfeng gave them.
If you continue to talk about it, I'm afraid I don't expect to beat this person in my life.
Soon after, the meal was prepared, and the entourage tested it with silver chopsticks, and brought it up.
Deng Zongqi was eating with a calm expression and dignified demeanor, but his heart felt that it was beating a little fast......
- It turns out that that is Miss Wei, not the quasi-crown princess?
On Xiaozhu Mountain, Deng Zongqi repeatedly looked at Wei Changying wearing a hat, not because he didn't know etiquette or was greedy for beauty.
He is the son of the Rongcheng Deng clan, but his father died of illness when he was seven years old, and he was a fifth-rank official during his lifetime - if it is based on the qualifications of his grandfather, who was a third-rank official, he can be added to the guard. However, his father had a very bad temperament during his lifetime, and he offended all his brothers, and even the Yue family was so angry that he cut off contact with him.
With such a father, Deng Zongqi's situation after his loss can be imagined.
Although he is said to be at least qualified to make up for Yiwei, what can he do if his uncle tacitly makes a stumbling block? If it weren't for the aunt who was the concubine to protect ......
Speaking of which, the status of the concubine in the harem of the Great Wei Dynasty is not low, and under the queen, she is the concubine. It can be seen that Deng Zongqi's aunt is in a decent situation in the palace.
But Deng Guifei has been a concubine since she entered the palace, and decades have passed, and the queen has changed three terms, but she is still a concubine...... This one, it is difficult not to reveal regret and desolation.
Originally, Deng Guifei was not without opportunities.
After the death of Empress Liu, who was born in the Donghu Liu family, the position was vacant, and there was a rumor in the palace at that time, and the saint had no intention of choosing a high-ranking lady to enrich the court, but intended to let the concubine be in the middle palace.
Although it is unreasonable to say that it is unreasonable to take a concubine as a wife, there are many unruly things that this saint has done in this pilgrimage. The Valle Reading family also has a discernment, and some people dare to do it, but if they do it, they will also involve the family, even if someone really continues, the clan will not agree.
After several lonely ministers in the court were given death, the saint was more free to do what he wanted......
In terms of background, Concubine Deng Guifei is not as good as Queen Liu, but she is the cousin of the saint...... Shengshang's biological mother was one of the nine concubines of the first emperor, and she was also born in Rongcheng Deng.
So Deng Guifei was a concubine as soon as she entered the palace......
But who would have thought that just when the phoenix seal was about to be handed over to Concubine Deng Guifei, Empress Liu's aunt cousin, a very beautiful concubine of the Qian family of Zhao County, entered the palace with her mother to mourn her cousin, and "accidentally" got lost in Changle Palace, so that she failed to leave the palace on time, but she "coincidentally" met with the saint who happened to go to the front of the Yuan Empress Ling to offer incense.
So the second queen of this dynasty was surnamed Qian.
This Queen Qian's mother is Queen Liu's cousin.
It's just that although the Donghu Liu clan successfully used the money queen to prevent the appearance of Queen Deng, they also suffered a big loss. In the second year after Empress Qian had her own flesh and blood, the eldest son of Empress Liu, the crown prince who had been a prince for ten years at that time, was revealed to be practicing witchcraft in the East Palace and wanted to succeed to the throne in advance......
Although the saint did not kill his son, but the abolition and debasement still let the abolished prince, who was born pampered and strong-tempered, draw his sword and commit suicide, leaving a suicide note to confess his heart, and the abolished princess was also martyred - this is the first tragic prince of this dynasty.
The next to live in the East Palace is naturally the fourth prince born to Queen Qian.
When Queen Qian took away the position of the middle palace, although Concubine Deng regretted it, she was not sad for too long, because she had nothing to do at that time, and she could still care about when she could have a biological child. A few years later, she finally had the six princes, but Queen Qian's status was stable, and Concubine Deng Guifei had no other thoughts, and she just devoted herself to raising the six princes.
But who would have thought that the sixth prince was smart and clever, young and very likable, and gradually compared the new prince who was a few years older than him...... At that time, Concubine Deng was still young, proud of her beloved son's intelligence, as a holy cousin, the emperor also had a lot of favors, and her position in the palace was second only to the queen. Although he was also guarding against Queen Qian, he was not willing to let the six princes die.
The result of her unwillingness was that the sixth prince died of a violent illness before he reached the age of binding his hair.
Concubine Deng almost went crazy because of this, and the saint was also furious. But the result of the thorough investigation was that there was only one princess, Huo Shufei, who had always been modest and silent, colluded with the Tai Hospital to sentence Ji Ying to murder the six princes, on the grounds that Huo Shufei and Deng Guifei were both concubines of the first grade, and Huo Shufei was not only ranked after the concubine, but the concubine had a son, but she did not......
How can Deng Guifei accept such a funny reason? She kowtowed outside the imperial study until her face was covered with blood, but what she was waiting for was the Holy Lord's close service to reprimand her for slandering the queen and despising the middle palace. If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Deng was still there at that time, the position of the concubine would not have been stable, and Rao was like this, and Concubine Deng was still grounded for more than half a year.
After more than half a year, a newcomer was added to the palace, and the favor plummeted...... But this half-year ban is not completely useless, at least after the grounding is over, Deng Guifei is quiet, and she is more respectful to Queen Qian than before.
This respect and guilt are also rewarded.
…… About ten years later, not long after the birth of the eldest son of the second prince of this dynasty, Empress Qian was given death on the charge of "jealousy and murder of the palace concubine" - until death, there was not a word saying that Empress Qian was related to the death of the sixth prince.
But Queen Qian was finally given to death, and her reputation was ruined, and even the Qian family was hit hard.
