Chapter 64: The Summer Palace
Looking at Yu Wenlong's appearance of hooking up with the palace maids beside the Empress Dowager in order to obtain benefits, he also knows that he is not an ordinary character. However, as soon as Mingzhu thought that she had just climbed out of Yuwenyou's fire pit, and was about to jump headlong into Yuwenlong's dung pit in a blink of an eye, she couldn't stop being nauseous, and she couldn't help it.
She couldn't do everything at her aunt and father's beheels. Empress Dowager Min and the young emperor's mother and son are unreliable, and the risk of rebellion is too great, so let's compromise and choose a suitable one among the several princes left by my cousin to cultivate, this is always okay, right?
Thinking of this, Mingzhu was overjoyed and went out excitedly. The Empress Dowager stood behind the window and watched, and couldn't help frowning: "Which one does she think of?" ”
Aunt Mu smiled: "The girl can't pretend to be a child since she was a child, maybe she went to relax." ”
The Empress Dowager sighed: "The little girl cares too much about those things, man, who is not three wives and four concubines, who is not eating in the bowl and thinking about the pot?" It's me, when I was the queen, I didn't want to take care of the three palaces and six courtyards for the first emperor, or our first emperor was not a good woman, and there were dozens of famous people in this palace, and there were later Zhou's ...... What can I do? It's just a matter of seeing who has the last laugh and who laughs the best. ”
Aunt Mu thought it was: "According to the slave maid, King Anyang and Wanru should have nothing to do with the one in Zhaoyang Palace, she is not happy that this family affair can be completed, and she can't see the Xiao family and the Fu family join forces, so she will perform this good show." King Lin'an was not angry in his heart, and he was willing to be her helper. ”
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. I don't want to care about all this, but I also want to see if she has the ability, and look at the greedy and despicable appearance of her mother's brother! The Empress Dowager called Aunt Mu and commanded in a low voice: "Check it out, as if there is anyone else behind you." In this matter, it must be done to convince King Anyang, and he can't say that it is not good! Where else to start, he's so indecent, isn't he in a hurry to let people smoke? Concubine Xiao, you also knock and knock there. ”
Aunt Mu took the order and walked outside the palace gate, only to see Yu Wenchu coming over, and said with a firm expression: "Please tell my aunt to pass the word, I want to see the Queen Mother." ”
Aunt Mu has been with the Empress Dowager for a long time, and she knows a lot of inside information, and when she saw Yu Wenchu's appearance, she frowned, knowing that he must have wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to withdraw his marriage with Jiang Shanshan. But the Changxing Hou Jiang family is the founding of the country, and has been operating in Beijing for several generations, and it is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, and this marriage was requested by Concubine Min herself.
The so-called Jun has no jokes, since he has made a decree, where can it be so easy to take it back? The Queen Mother is in a state of wanting to win over Concubine Min and the Queen Mother and Son, the King of England has been tossing for so long, if the Queen Mother is willing to fulfill him, this family business would have been done a long time ago, where is the need to wait until now? Aunt Mu kindly reminded: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has already rested. “
Yu Wenchu looked directly at her and said in a tough tone: "This king has something important to tell the Empress Dowager." Please also ask my aunt to be accommodating, I am grateful. ”
He has already said this, Aunt Mu can't shirk anymore, otherwise she will seem to be ignorant and arrogant, so she had to sigh lightly and said: "If you shouldn't say something, Niangniang was also good for His Royal Highness before, the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion is one of the few families in Beijing, and the second girl Jiang is even more talented and beautiful, and others are still envious, Your Highness should think twice." ”
"I know. Please tell my aunt to spread it to me. Yu Wenchu looked up at the front, and his chin stretched out a cold and hard arc. Even if he can't let the Empress Dowager loosen his mouth, he must let others know that he is not satisfied with the marriage with the Marquis of Changxing. In this way, you can leave more time to prepare and maneuver. He waited too long to miss this opportunity, otherwise, he was afraid of lifelong regrets.
"Please wait, Your Highness." Aunt Mu saluted and reluctantly went in to spread the word.
The Empress Dowager was reading a book on the couch, and when she heard this, she was silent for a long time, and sneered: "Xuan him in." Hongu wants to see what this little cub wants to do. ”
Yu Wenchu politely thanked Aunt Mu and slowly walked into the main hall.
Aunt Mu stood under the porch and listened quietly, first it was quiet, and then there was a crisp sound, and the Empress Dowager was angry: "Get out!" Unfilial and unrighteous things! Dare to disobey his mother's order, and even dare to disobey Yi's will! Go to the palace gate and kneel, when you figure it out and when you get up! ”
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager refused.
How many people are satisfied with the royal marriage? Aunt Mu saw too much, sighed, and hurriedly retreated.
Mingzhu rushed out of Changxin Palace and went directly to the Summer Palace in the north. Emperor Zhengqian died young, leaving behind five sons and three daughters are still young, except for the eldest son who has ascended the throne as the emperor, everyone else is still living in the palace with their mothers, and several princes are not titled.
Empress Dowager Min is not a benevolent master, but due to the existence of the Empress Dowager and the Fu family in power, she can't kill these concubines and princesses as she wants. But she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, under the pretext of asking these concubines to eat fast and pray for the Buddha for Emperor Zhengqian, these concubines and their princes and princesses are all gathered in the Summer Palace to live. Not to mention the cramped residence and harsh use, the key is that these princes and concubines are not allowed to come out easily every day, let alone communicate with the ministers and noble clans outside.
Even if the Empress Dowager sent a message to let the princess and princess of the right age study and be taught, she reluctantly agreed, and she arranged a lot of eyes and ears around these people, who were a little troubled, and it would soon reach her ears. If anyone gets the praise of Mr., he will have a minor illness, or a serious illness and lose six or seven points of his life, and over time, all the princes of this generation will be those who don't like to read or are dull.
Seeing that Mingzhu was going to the Summer Palace, the palace man Sang Wei hurriedly grabbed her and persuaded: "It's not fun over there, why don't you go to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Changhua?" ”
Mingzhu Li ignored her and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen a few little radish heads, I miss them." Seeing that the mulberry was about to come up to stop him, he squinted at it, smiled lightly, and said, "What? I'm a cousin, and I can't see my cousin? ”
She is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, and she has Fu Xiang's support outside, even if the Empress Dowager Min has to give her some face, it is reasonable to walk sideways in this palace. Mulberry was afraid that she would not be able to please herself by arousing her temperament, so she gave another palace person who accompanied her a leisurely look, and signaled her to go back quickly to inform the Empress Dowager, lest she behave indiscriminately and get involved in the dispute between the Summer Palace and the Empress Dowager Min.
