Chapter 400: The Truth
Qian Haoyao was crying, after telling what happened, Concubine Zheng Xian comforted her son while thinking that as the child grows up, the content of the emperor's examination will definitely become more and more complicated, and there will definitely be fewer and fewer endorsements, which means that her son always learns from a nerd, which is very bad.
At this time, Concubine Zheng Xian saw more and more that Dong Jincai had ulterior motives for herself, he could be in the court and mix well, how could he not understand how to educate children? Sending an old virgin with a strange temper to his side and teaching his son to be a nerd, Dong Jincai had already planned it.
After thinking about this, Concubine Zheng Xian's stomach was like a fire burning, burning so much that she was about to explode, thinking about her over the years, she had done a lot for the Dong family, but in the end she ended up like this, not to mention being used, and being fooled and framed, how could Concubine Zheng Xian not be angry?
But all of these can't take revenge openly, and they can't even stop their son from studying with the old virgin immediately, otherwise, Dong Jincai will see that something is wrong, thinking of the eyes that she drove away from Dong Jincai next to her a while ago, there must be some vigilance over there, and Concubine Zheng Xian regretted that she was too impulsive.
Two days later, after thinking about it, Concubine Zheng Xian sent Yang Jing to buy a few brushes in the Four Treasures Shop of the Scholar's Room opened by the Dong family, and sent a message to the other side: The concubine was suspicious of the two palace maids, and she had to send people out.
Dong Jincai and Mrs. Dong couldn't help but be happy when they saw that this was the case, and within a few days, Dong Jincai asked Concubine Zheng Xian to help him say good things in front of the emperor, hoping to return to the cabinet.
Concubine Zheng Xian agreed, but she sneered in her heart, and pretended to discuss with the person sent by Mrs. Dong how to deal with Concubine Miaode, she was really prepared, and she almost didn't hesitate, so she gave Concubine Zheng Xian a good idea - it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor would definitely miss the original prince when he saw things and people, so he asked Concubine Zheng Xian to hold a literary meeting, and invited the three princes in the palace and several children of the same age as close relatives of the clan to come over and write poems to commemorate Qian Haoyu.
"The four princes are brilliant, and they must be able to overwhelm the crowd and get good luck."
When Concubine Zheng Xian heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of it?" Tell Mr. Dong that I will definitely hold this meeting well. ”
Sending people away, Concubine Zheng Xian inquired in front of her son, and sure enough, the five princes were good at poetry, and even the emperor said that he had too white talent.
"Hmph, I'm glad I have more eyes, otherwise, this hard work would have done good things for that slut of Concubine Miaode." Concubine Zheng Xian scolded in her heart, her eyes rolled up, and she wanted to find a good way to teach Concubine De and the fifth prince a good lesson, and let them have a hard time.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, Concubine Zheng Xian this time, let Yang Jing inquire and see what the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three princes, the fourth prince and the fifth prince are.
Yang Jing contacted several masters of Zongxue respectively, and finally asked Shen Mingzhao, the crown prince, to be busy, but he was worried, and he didn't know how to make his words clear in front of Concubine Zheng Xian - the four princes really have no advantages at all, and they can't be martial, especially if they don't know how to be flexible, they can get a few words of praise from Mr. by rote memorization before, but now, Zongxue is a child, and they seem to be better than him.
Yang Jing didn't say it, it didn't mean that Concubine Zheng Xian didn't ask, on this day, she looked at Yang Jing hopefully, waiting for him to tell her the results of the investigation.
Yang Jing's mouth seemed to be stuffed with food, and he stammered vaguely: "Mr. said that the fourth prince is the hardest working student, no matter what he learns, he remembers it very well." ”
Concubine Zheng Xian was very dissatisfied, although the emperor is still testing his memory, he is no longer so early to memorize paragraphs into paragraphs, but to investigate how the prince uses the content of the book to solve practical problems, therefore, she asked: "What else?" ”
Yang Jing sweated violently: "The four princes are the most well-behaved, and they never make trouble when they are studying." ”
What is this? Concubine Zheng Xian was a little unhappy: "Is it gone?" ”
Yang Jing's voice was like a gnat: "The four princes, the four princes are the most honest and reliable-"
"Enough!" Concubine Zheng Xian finally knew what she had taught her son, and at this time, she realized that she was looking at Wang Shufen, and others would think the same, a mother died early, grew up with a nerdy father, and didn't know how to plan a good marriage for herself, so that she missed the best age to marry, and had to plan to be an old virgin who combed herself, how could she teach her son to be smart and smart?
Dong Jincai, this is a black heart, not only used herself, but also harmed her son, she Concubine Zheng Xian, she is a fool, she works hard every day, she is a foil for Concubine Miaode's mother and son.
Yang Jing trembled, lest the master be angry with him, and after a while, seeing that there was no movement in the house, he let go of his bold son and gave his master a speech: "The fourth prince is still young, why don't you quietly give some gifts to the Taifu, let him do more dedication, before, the prince was cold and arrogant, less than a year, now, the court does not like him." ”
Concubine Zheng Xian listened to the first half of the words, and was still a little moved, and the second half of the words were like a scoop of cold water, splashing over her head, making her heart cool from the inside out - so far, no one supports her outside the palace, and in the palace, her son is not outstanding, the new prince is smart and has military exploits, what does her son earn with others? After more than ten years of the dream of the queen mother, she suddenly woke up, Concubine Zheng Xian almost didn't even have the strength to sit, she only felt that the ground under her feet seemed to be as soft as water, she couldn't support the chair she was sitting on, the sky collapsed, her eyes rolled, and she fainted.
Yang Jing hurriedly supported Concubine Zheng Xian, who was crooked, carefully helped her to lie down on the bed, and sent someone to invite the imperial doctor.
Concubine Zheng Xian's serious illness dragged on for more than ten days before she got better, mourning, nothing more than death, she lost the momentum of striving for the top.
Yang Jing carefully served every day, searched the intestines and scraped the belly, trying to please the master, but the effect was very little, on this day, although Concubine Zheng Xian was well and no longer needed to take medicine, she still looked sad, staring at the begonia flowers in the yard with her eyes blankly, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Yang Jing excused himself to go to the kitchen to get snacks for the master, let a few palace maids wait, and walked out by himself, if the master has been like this, even if he can be the director of Ningxiang Palace, what is the point? Although the palace is big, compared to the outside world, it is too small, and the people who are encircled inside want to fight for their own piece of sunshine in a small space, and they have to fight for each other, showing their magical powers, Yang Jing walked around the palace at will, with a straight face, trying not to let people guess his mood from his expression, but his efforts still can't hide from some sharp-eyed people.
