Shen Ze listened to Lu Yingquan's words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I have to say that what Lu Yingquan said was right in his mind, and he knew that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's letter must have been instructed by the Queen Mother, because Yang Liangren in the past also became a concubine in this way. This is the most common method used by the queen mother, using concubines to link the court and the harem, and then expand her power.

Looking at it, the daughters of the ministers of the DPRK and China are only the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and the daughter of Lord Dong of Dali Temple.

Among the three dukes, the prime minister is the empress dowager's person, and the imperial historian Sun Hui, who took office in the heart of the imperial history, is Shen Ze's person, as for this Lord Dong, like General Jiang, he is a neutral position, he has always been fair and honest, and he has never been involved in the partisan dispute between the DPRK and China.

If you really want to be drafted, to put it bluntly, it will also pave the way for the Zhang family and the Dong family's young lady to build a bridge, and from the perspective of identity, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zhang's family is naturally superior, and when she enters the harem, she is high up, which is comparable to the queen.

If this Miss Zhang also becomes the queen mother's pawn and strictly controls the harem, then Shen Ze is afraid that he will not have freedom in the future, even if he favors which concubine or who gives birth to an heir, it will be under the control of the queen mother.

"It's okay to consolidate the harem, what I'm most worried about is that the queen mother has other intentions. Shen Ze said with some concern, "Now in this harem, Ya'er is ostensibly the queen mother's person, but Ya'er is young and my cousin's niece, so I will never spoil a ten-year-old girl." The Queen Mother must have known this, so she understood that it was impossible for Ya'er to give birth to a child for me, so she had to find someone else to complete this task. ”

When Lu Yingquan heard this, he nodded suddenly in realization, and sighed that Shen Ze had always considered one more layer than himself.

If other concubines are pregnant with the eldest son of the emperor first, then there will be a lot of trouble when they take the heir in the future, and the queen mother will definitely let herself be pregnant with the dragon seed in order to avoid this kind of trouble, so that the mother and son will become the chess pieces in the palm of the queen mother's hand.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid just took a cursory look at these twists and turns, and found that the letter requesting the emperor to fill the harem in the draft used the same reason, that is, to extend the heirs for the Daning Kingdom. Lu Yingquan thought for a while and said, "They keep saying that they think about the emperor and Daning, so they use the matter of the emperor's heir to persecute Your Majesty, making Your Majesty angry but there is no reason to scold them." That's how these people do it. ”

"That's true, I am now forty-four in my twenties, the number of concubines in the harem is small, and the imperial heir is even more far away, and when my father was at my age, the eldest brother and the second imperial sister had been born for two years. Shen Ze nodded and said, "They use this as an excuse, and I really can't refute it." ”

"That'...... What if the emperor has an heir?" Lu Yingquan thought for a while and asked.

She said it very carefully, because she didn't know if it was a bad idea, but she couldn't bear to see the emperor so embarrassed.

Lu Yingquan always remembered that when she was a third-class palace maid, the emperor in front of her was still like a ruffian, sitting on the ground with her casually and chatting all night, but the longer she contacted Shen Ze, the more she felt that he was carrying too many things.

The burden of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is not something that anyone can bear.

Especially after she became the emperor Shangyi, as the open and secret struggle between the emperor and the queen mother became more and more intense, the emperor's face has always been sad, and there are few times when he has really smiled.

Therefore, she really wanted to help Shen Ze.

"What nonsense are you talking about, the heir is very important, how can you say that you can have it?" Shen Ze shook his head helplessly, just thinking that what Lu Yingquan said was a joke, but the moment the words fell, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but look at Lu Yingquan with surprised eyes, and asked with a face full of questions.

Lu Yingquan looked at Shen Ze's expression and knew that Shen Ze might have understood what he meant, so he nodded and said:

"Yes, that's what slave means. Anyway, the harem is not without concubines, in addition to the queen's mother, there are also Mrs. Li, Jiang Meiren, Xu Liang and Du Liangren, the emperor might as well pick a suitable person and let her get pregnant. With an heir, the emperor has a reason to gag those people's mouths and delay the draft. ”

"That's a good idea. A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Ze's mouth, then he got up from the dragon chair and patted Lu Yingquan's shoulder, very satisfied with Lu Yingquan's proposal.

"The emperor thinks it's good, the most important thing now is to determine the candidate, this person must have a gentle temperament, an innocent background, and no relationship with the Queen Mother. Lu Yingquan said.

"Then ...... Xu Liangren. After thinking for a moment, Shen Ze said the name, "Ya'er doesn't think about it, Jiang Meiren is too variable, Du Liangren's father is Zhang Chengxiang's protégé, and only Xu Liangren is the most suitable." ”

"What about Mrs. Li?" Lu Yingquan was very curious about this Mrs. Li, who had never appeared, "When I entered the palace, I heard that there was a Mrs. Li in this palace, but why did she never appear? Not only did she not attend the palace banquets, but she also did not come to the monthly morning and dusk of the Empress Dowager. The strangest thing is that all the people in the palace seem to be accustomed to this......"

Lu Yingquan babbled about her doubts, which was a question that had been bothering her for a long time, and she especially wanted to see the truth of this mysterious Mrs. Li.

"Mrs. Li......" Shen Ze flashed a bitter smile in his eyes when he mentioned this name, and then shook his head, "It's okay not to mention it." ”

Yingquan looked at Shen Ze and knew that Shen Ze was reluctant to mention more, even if he was curious in his heart, he didn't continue to ask.

"Then the emperor, if this plan is feasible, can it be acted? Why don't you call Gonggong Luo to Qutai Pavilion to pass the decree?" Lu Yingquan tried to ask.

"It's fine. Shen Ze nodded, then called Luo Song in and asked him to go to Qutai Pavilion to deliver the decree.

At this time, Qutai Pavilion is also lively, Du Liangren is taking Xiaoyu to visit the Qutai Pavilion, anyway, these two concubines with the lowest rank have never had a sense of existence in the palace, the emperor does not like it, the queen mother does not love, there is neither a noble identity, nor a peerless appearance.

In terms of talent and qualifications, it is not as good as the previous beauties, although Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren are dead, but there is also a Jiang Mei, there is also Mrs. Li above, and there is a queen at the top, even if there is a desire to compete for favor, but there is nothing to be done.

But I didn't expect that there was really a pie in the sky in this world, and it hit Xu Liangren's head.

Before the arrival of this holy decree, Xu Liangren had not received the emperor's favor for several months. After all, too many things have happened during this time, and the emperor is also a little exhausted.

"Qiyu beloved, Chief Manager Luo came, saying that the emperor had a will to come down. Seeing Yue coming in from outside, he said to Xu Liangren.

When Xu Liangren heard this, he immediately got up, hurriedly walked out of the inner hall with the support of Haitang, and personally went out to greet Grandpa Luo, after all, Luo Song was a person around the emperor and could not be offended.

Seeing this, Du Liangren on the side also got up and walked out, and came to the courtyard with Xu Liangren, just in time to see Father-in-law Luo coming towards him.

"Congratulations to Xu Liangren, congratulations to Xu Liangren. As soon as Luo Song saw Xu Liangren, he arched his hand and said, smiling happily, which made people confused.

"Dare to ask Grandpa Luo, where does the joy come from?" Xu Liangren was a little surprised.

"The emperor has a decree to set up a Qutai Pavilion tonight. Luo Song stood up straight, said the emperor's message loudly, and after he was done, he said to Xu Liangren, "The weather is a little cooler today, please also ask the beloved to bother to prepare some hot meals, preferably jade soup, I think the emperor will like it." ”

"Thank you Grandpa Luo for the point. Xu Liang was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly took out the silver and handed it to Luo Song's hand, "Be careful, please accept it from Father-in-law Luo, and ask Father-in-law Luo to take care of it in the future." ”

"The beloved is polite, and the slave still has to go to the emperor to report his life, so he won't stay much. Luo Song said this, then said goodbye to Xu Liang and Du Liangren, and left Qutai Pavilion.

After Luo Song left, Xu Liangren couldn't hide the joy in his heart, grabbed Du Liangren's hand, and said: "Sister can hear it, my sister can accept the favor tonight, if there is a chance, my sister will definitely not forget to mention my sister in front of the emperor." ”

"That being the case, then thank you Sister Xu. Du Liangren said, "It's not too early, I'll leave first, you are ready to try to please the emperor." ”

"Thank you, sister. Xu Liangren said gratefully, and then watched Du Liangren leave.

Qutai Pavilion fell silent in an instant, and Haitang and Jianyue gathered around Xu Liangren, congratulating one by one, and said that the emperor finally remembered Xu Liangren's goodness, and Xu Liangren finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon.

These words made Xu Liangren very happy, she hurriedly instructed the palace people in Qutai Pavilion to start preparing dinner, and asked Haitang and Jianyue to accompany her, go to the inner hall to pick out a few beautiful dresses, and try them one by one, obviously seeing this opportunity as very important.

However, Du Liang, who left Qutai Pavilion, was extremely depressed in his heart, and complained as he walked: "What is so good about her? Why did the emperor pick her? Even if there is really no one in the palace, it will not be her turn!"

"Maybe the emperor will pamper your beloved tomorrow. Xiaoyu said, "There have been successive accidents in the palace, according to the slave maid, you and Xu Liangren have a good chance to be promoted." ”

"Hmph, she entered the palace later than me, where can she compare with me. Du Liangren said, "I usually call her sister, that's because she doesn't pose a threat, and I need to wait for an opportunity." In that case, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

"What does the beloved mean......" Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, "But even if Xu Liangren is favored today, she may not be able to capture the emperor's heart, maybe it will be thankless?"

"Yes, it's not urgent. Du Liangren nodded and said, "By the way, how is your fellow sister?

"There hasn't been any news from Furong's side, but it doesn't matter, the slave will go to Changming Palace tomorrow to find out about her. Xiaoyu said, "Also, if the lover doesn't want Xu Liangren to go well tonight, you can still ......."

While speaking, Xiaoyu leaned into Du Liangren's ear, not knowing what to say, but saw a look of satisfaction flash in Du Liangren's eyes, and then nodded:

"I'll leave this matter to you, go back quickly. ”

"The slave obeys. Xiaoyu said, turned around and turned back to Qutai Pavilion again, while Du Liangren went back to Lantai Pavilion slowly by himself.
