Chapter 18: The Conspiracy Approaches
The queen is still planning for Wen Jinghua's future, but Qi Yuanshen and Wan Guifei have long been thinking about it.
Glass cups, jade plates, crystal curtains...
Wan Guifei's Chengqian Hall is many times more gorgeous than the Queen's Furen Palace, if someone who doesn't know sees it first, he will definitely think that the one who lives in this Chengqian Hall is the queen of their Great Liang Kingdom.
"The son greets his mother. Qi Yuan knelt on his knees and bowed prostrately.
Opposite him, Wan Zhen'er was lying lazily on the chaise longue, casually tracing her kedan nails, "Well, get up, it's hard for you to have filial piety." β
Qi Yuanshen is indeed very filial, at least it seems.
When Qi Yuanmin was there, it was just a shallow salute to greet Wan Zhen'er, and he would never be like him.
Wan Zhen'er was very disgusted with Qi Yuanmin's uncontrolled son, so Qi Yuanshen learned his lesson and did what he liked, and the effect was really good.
"I've heard that you seem to be very interested in that orphan girl who is waiting for you?" asked Wan Zhen'er.
A trace of disgust flashed in Qi Yuanshen's eyes, and he chuckled: "That's true. β
"Oh?" Wan Zhen'er glanced at him, "He treated that girl very differently when he was alive, I didn't expect you to be like this." The tone was flat, and I couldn't hear likes and dislikes.
But Qi Yuanshen was keenly aware that Wan Zhen'er didn't like Wen Jinghua.
He immediately knelt down in front of the concubine couch and gently pinched Wan Zhen'er's legs, "I hope my mother knows that Erchen's interest in that girl is not out of love between men and women, but out of future planning..."
"Huh?" Wan Zhen'er raised her eyelids and looked at him, "Let's hear it." β
Qi Yuan said cautiously: "Although Wen Jinghua is an orphan girl, the queen's affection for her is now almost the same as her own daughter, and she is a person who attaches great importance to love, and now the relationship with the queen can be said to be unbreakable." With the prestige of Wen Zhengrong in the court, coupled with the queen's plan, it can be said that Wen Jinghua is logical to find a husband who holds a lot of power. If only it was her life's work, but she was..."
"But she's the queen's person..." Wan Zhen'er frowned slightly, "If she finds her husband's family, this husband's family will definitely fall to the queen in the future..."
Wan Zhen'er never underestimated the power of the pillow wind, because she relied on the favor of a man to get to where she is today.
"We must not let the queen get her wish!" Wan Zhen'er sat up from the couch suddenly, looked at Qi Yuan and said cautiously: "Since you mentioned it, you must already have an idea, just say it." β
Qi Yuanshen stopped the movement in his hand, lowered his hand and said: "Erchen has a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which can not only prevent Wen Jinghua from marrying into Ruyi's husband's family for the queen to drive, but also divide the relationship between Wen Jinghua and the queen..."
"So... , do you want Wen Jinghua?" Wan Zhen'er looked at Qi Yuanshen meaningfully.
Qi Yuanshen immediately knelt on the ground again, "Ask the mother concubine to be fulfilled." β
Wan Zhen'er's eyes narrowed slightly, "I really can't figure out what is so special about that woman, he and you are so troublesome." β
Qi Yuanshen hurriedly explained: "Mother misunderstood, Erchen will never dare to deceive his mother, Erchen and her really don't have half of the love between men and women, what Erchen has, it's just hate..."
Wan Zhen'er stared at Qi Yuanshen who was lying on the ground, and after a while, she relaxed, lay back on the couch, and chuckled: "Zuo is just an orphan girl, if it gets in the way, a glass of poisonous wine is enough." Stand down. β
Qi Yuanshen knelt on the ground and did not move.
"What else is the matter with you?" Wan Zhen'er was a little impatient.
Qi Yuanshen lowered his head, "Mother, Wen Jinghua's marriage is the queen's decision..."
"Oh, I forgot..." Wan Zhen'er chuckled, "If you come to the door to ask for marriage yourself, and the queen refuses, this matter will not be easy to do..."
She smiled to herself, "So you're waiting for me here..." Okay, let me go to Your Majesty's place and ask for a decree of marriage. β
"Thank you, mother!" Qi Yuanshen kowtowed again.
"Kneel down. β
"Yes. β
Walking out of Concubine Wan's Chengqian Palace, the turbidity in Qi Yuanshen's chest could not dissipate for a long time.
He really hated that domineering and pretentious woman.
But he had to be this woman's good son.
At least until the wings are full, all things must be refrained from forbearance.
Qi Yuanshen knew very well what he wanted to get, and he knew what he needed to sacrifice.
It's too simple to sacrifice a little dignity to please a woman.
Qi Yuanshen didn't regard this woman as his mother at all.
He is not as stupid as Qi Yuanmin, and when he comes out of this woman's belly, he has to bear her for the rest of his life.
I believe that Wan Zhener is the same.
didn't treat him as his own son's affection.
More than ten years ago, this woman knew that he was alive in the world, but she still acted as if there was no him.
If it weren't for Qi Yuanmin's short life, I'm afraid Wan Zhen'er wouldn't have thought of him until he died.
In the final analysis, whether it is him or Qi Yuanmin, they are just a chess piece of Wan Zhen'er, a chess piece called "son".
In fact, he should hate the queen even more.
If it weren't for the queen's fault, his birth should be the same as Qi Yuanmin, the son of a righteous emperor.
Instead of now, only when Qi Yuanmin dies can he be used as a substitute.
The women in the harem have a lot of means.
When Wan Zhen'er was pregnant with twin sons and was still complacent, Qin Tianjian immediately said the celestial phenomenon of "twin trapped dragons".
Twin trapped dragons, which means that twins are about to be born in the harem, but these two twins will trap the true dragon Tianzi.
The emperor was convinced of this.
Before Wan Zhen'er had time to tell the news to the emperor to compete for favor, she immediately cleaned the Chengqian Palace.
With the exception of her confidants, everyone who knew she was pregnant with a twin son was dead.
Later, when the twins landed, she immediately picked out the thinner looking abandonment.
Originally, Wan Zhen'er's order was to take him out of the palace and kill him, but the old lady who was doing the work couldn't bear to do it, so she found a street corner and abandoned the child.
That kid is Qi Yuanshen.
He grew up eating hundreds of meals all the way, suffered the cold eyes of the world, and later fell into the grass.
But Wan Zhen'er not only did not protect him, but even had the idea of getting rid of him several times.
Just because his face was exactly the same as Qi Yuanmin's, if his existence was discovered by the emperor, the twin dragons would really arouse the emperor's suspicions.
So she was going to kill her own son.
Later, it was Qi Yuanmin who protected him.
He took advantage of Qi Yuanmin's convenience to build a cottage, and he was also equipped with a lot of sophisticated weapons, specializing in the business of killing people and stealing goods.
I thought that he would live his life like this.
But all this was ruined by Wen Jinghua's fire!
Later, Qi Yuanmin couldn't do it, and he became Qi Yuanshen.
Wen JinghuaΒ·Β·Β· , he does not die!
Qi Yuan carefully straightened out his clothes, and Concubine Wan had already set up half of her queen's honor guard, and went to the emperor's Wende Palace...
