"You old! So help her speak. Empress Dowager Min looked at Mama Hai sharply and said, "Say! Did you get her benefit? ”

Mama Hai hurriedly knelt on the ground, took out a delicate carved box from her arms and offered it: "This is Miss Jiang's filial piety." ”

A golden pearl the size of a pigeon's egg and round all over the body shone in the box, and the Empress Dowager Min fell in love with it after just one glance, but she only made a disdainful look: "What is my Tao, isn't it just a bead?" My son is rich in the world, what do I want? ”

Mama Hai knew her temperament, she was most greedy for money but wanted to pretend to be high, so she persuaded: "Things are not worth anything, but what is rare is a piece of filial piety of Miss Jiang Er." He added: "Does Niangniang want to look at Fu Mingzhu and be complacent?" She robbed someone's husband, can't she still allow someone to be a side room? That's too bullying, too. What's more, according to the system, a prince should have one concubine and two concubines, and a number of concubines. ”

Yes, she can't let Fu Mingzhu be proud, and she can't make Fu Mingzhu too comfortable, so Empress Dowager Min said: "It's also the same reason, it's not bad for her to occupy the position of the concubine, it can't be too much, is it possible to let her occupy the entire British Palace?" And said: "It's just cheaper Yu Wenchu!" He got Fu Mingzhu and Jiang Shanshan, wouldn't his wings be harder? Not. ”

Mama Hai smiled: "It's not cheap, Fu Xiang is not a vegetarian, Changxinghou is not a vegetarian, and this Jiang Er girl is not a vegetarian, so that the wives and concubines can only be interesting when they compete with each other, it is better to make a fuss, we will have a chance." Otherwise, if they are all crushed by Fu Mingzhu, what is the point. ”

Didn't Yu Wenchu want to borrow the power of the Fu family? Anyway, I can't stop myself, so let's have another veteran lord like the Marquis of Changxing, and wait for his backyard to fight to the death, it's best that a son can't be born, see how he fights! Empress Dowager Min laughed: "You said it very well, I will try to facilitate this." ”

Mama Hai put the box on the table with a smile, found an excuse to retreat, and instructed her confidants: "You go and tell Miss Jiang Er, the two things she said have been done, please wait with peace of mind." ”

When the palace people retreated, Mama Hai stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist and pondered, to say that this Jiang Er girl is really interesting, looking at such a dignified and virtuous person, but her heart is so vicious and vicious. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it, but the plot against Fu Mingzhu and the two things that were about to happen were enough to see that this person was smart and powerful, and it was not easy to offend. It's just that she doesn't understand why Second Miss Jiang is only willing to give her an idea, but she is unwilling to let the Queen Mother know who came up with the idea. But that's fine, the Queen Mother has obviously relied on her more recently.

"I hope we can work together happily, Miss Jiang." Mama Hai laughed, and she could almost foresee how lively the British King's Mansion would be in the future.

But it was said that Concubine Min went straight to Changxin Palace when she left Zhaoyang Palace, and when she saw the Empress Dowager, she said: "The Empress Dowager called the concubine over." ”

The Empress Dowager already knew, and she was not surprised: "What did she tell you to do?" ”

Concubine Min said: "It's about the Queen Mother's mother." The Queen Mother said that she didn't dare to go past the elders, so she compared it to the last time the concubine came. He also said that there were a few good things that he wanted to give to Mingzhu personally, and he was afraid that Mingzhu's relatives would be too shy to come, so he had to ask me to invite her. ”

The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, just listen to her." ”

Concubine Min hesitated for a while, and then stopped talking: "It is also common sense for children to be shy, I am afraid that many people will come at that time, and there must be a lot of gossip, otherwise I would better think of another way to push it......"

The Empress Dowager was so smart, of course she understood that she was reminding herself that there was no good feast, but she didn't think so: "What are you afraid of? Sooner or later, she will have to see people, even if she doesn't come this time, will she have to hide and not see anyone after the big wedding in September? What is hidden and tucked makes people think that there is something unsightly. ”

Concubine Min knew that the Empress Dowager was not very happy about this family business, so she had some opinions about herself and her son, and she was even more jealous because of this, so she knelt down again to plead guilty: "Niangniang is angry, it is because the concubine has not disciplined her son well." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Forget it, it's also unjust." Alon's child is deeply hidden, if he told us well in the early years, he would not have been involved in so many people, he was also grown up by me, among these children, except for the first emperor, my favorite is him......"

Ah Lang is Yu Wenchu's nickname, and when Concubine Min heard the Empress Dowager call Yu Wenchu so affectionately, she couldn't help but redden, and choked up: "Who would have thought that?" He is so many years older than Mingzhu, if it weren't for his refusal to get married and repeatedly make trouble, the concubine would not have noticed anything wrong. He swore again: "But don't worry, he is sincere to Mingzhu's child." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been fighting with me for so many years, knowing that it would make my mother sad. ”

"It's nothing, can I still worry about him?" At this point, the Empress Dowager was no longer satisfied with Yuwen's deep thoughts, and no matter how jealous she was, she would not push people out, so she only sighed: "It's just a pity that the second girl of the Jiang family, what a good child." If I go back on my word, she won't have a grudge in her heart, right? ”

Concubine Min also secretly felt sorry, but she was afraid that the Empress Dowager was testing herself, so she hurriedly said: "Marriage and marriage, it always depends on fate, you are merciful, you have already promised her a prominent family business, she should be content." is also a strange concubine, in the early years Ah Lang refused, so he should not be forced to do this family business. "But at that time, Fu Mingzhu and Yu Wenyou's family affairs had already been decided by the first emperor, and Jiang Shanshan was the best candidate. It's not so easy to be a mother either.

The Empress Dowager thought of the dispute between Fu Cong and herself, and her mood really didn't get better, so she said wistfully: "You go back first." ”

Concubine Min went back in a worried mood, and the palace people came to report: "His Royal Highness has come down." ”

Concubine Min walked in with a gloomy face: "You still have the face to see me!" I've lost all my face to you! is not a person inside and outside, the people of the Jiang family are weak-hearted, I feel that I have hurt other people's girls, and I am ashamed of the queen mother, I feel that I am ungrateful and calculating others, and I am afraid that she will think too much, which is not good for you. You unfilial disobedient son! ”

Yuwen Chu stood quietly and listened, and waited for her to finish scolding before she said softly: "When I was a child, I loved a sword very much, but the imperial father rewarded him to the eldest brother, you don't allow me to fight, tell me, the eldest brother is the prince, and he will be the master of the country in the future, I am the younger brother, I am the courtier, and even liking it is wrong." I wrote it down and didn't fight with him.

Later, the ninth brother robbed me of the cockatoo that I had raised for five years, and you told me that if you want to live safely, you can't fight with Zhou Guifei and can't disgust the imperial father. I wrote it down and didn't fight with him. Zhou Guifei poisoned me, you said to bear it, pretending that there was no such thing, I also endured it. The imperial father knew that the ninth brother didn't like Fu Mingzhu, but he still gave her to him, just to save his life, and he didn't care if he liked her or not, and whether I really liked her.

I've been enduring it, enduring until the death of the imperial father, enduring until the empress dowager can call the shots, if Fu Mingzhu has always had only the ninth brother in his heart, I can't make it difficult for others, but she doesn't want to, why can't I fight? Could it be that I was born inferior to the eighth and ninth children? I'm clearly much better than all of them. ”
