Chapter 185: Turning the Tide
Before entering the palace, Mrs. Pei summoned the staff in the palace to discuss this matter, and there was a result.
Old Lady Pei reluctantly kowtowed to the emperor, "The eldest daughter of the Pei family, Xiuniang, is willing to enter the palace of the Fourth Highness as a concubine!" β
The Emperor's eyes lit up.
The concubine of the Pei family as the concubine of the fourth son not only solves the problem of the Pei family, but also gives the fourth son another good marriage.
Now, both the Gao family and the Pei family have been damaged, especially the Gao family, after being trampled on by Mr. Youya of Qingyang Academy, they simply fell into the quagmire.
Mr. Ariya......
The emperor's eyes suddenly brightened, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his eyes flashed with calculation......
In the office of Tokai Department Store.
Chu Jue was resentful, "This time it's really cheap, Pei You'an, but the sister has changed from a wife to a concubine, so he will be exonerated from prison!" β
Xie Xun was also a little surprised. Mrs. Pei was willing to let her granddaughter give the fourth prince as a concubine!
This is a scandal that slaps the Pei family in the face~
However, such a result is the best for Pei Youan and Pei Xiuniang.
It is said that the matter of being a concubine was brought up by Pei Xiuniang herself.
Pei Xiuniang can bend and stretch to this extent, it's not easy~
It was when she met Chu Jue's mallet that she lost her proportion.
Pei Fu.
Pei Xiuniang and Pei Youan hugged and cried.
They all lost too much in this calculation. Pei Xiuniang was directly reduced from the prince's concubine to a concubine, and Pei Youan was also demoted by the emperor to an ordinary sword guard, and was even punished for thinking about it.
The emperor did this to prevent the Pei brothers and sisters from causing trouble again.
"Alright. People are fine, Hou Mansion is fine, it's a blessing. Old Mrs. Pei, whose head was wrapped in layers of gauze, leaned crookedly on the soft pillow. In the palace, she almost lost half her life. If it weren't for the thousand-year-old ginseng of the Gao family before, I was afraid that she would have died.
Pei Youan and Pei Xiuniang separated, wiped away the tears on their faces, and knelt in front of Mrs. Pei's bed.
"Grandmother, don't worry, no matter what noble girl His Royal Highness marries as a concubine in the future, the granddaughter will definitely snatch back the position of the concubine!" Pei Xiuniang raised her finger to the sky and swore an oath.
Old Madam Pei shook her head, "Don't be impatient. This time it was your impatience that caused it. Even if the emperor chooses another concubine for the four princes, it is also to help the four princes ascend. The Hou Mansion has been tied to the ship of the Four Princes, and only by helping the Four Princes ascend to the high positions first, will your struggle be meaningful. Otherwise, it is just to weaken the power of the faction of the four princes and let others reap the benefits. β
In the end, he is young, he is not long-term enough, and he is not patient enough.
Pei Xiuniang bowed and kowtowed, "My granddaughter wrote it down." β
Old Lady Pei nodded, and closed her eyes tiredly.
I believe that with this lesson, my grandson and granddaughter will not act rashly again......
The capital, the royal residence.
This is a very wide area, but the faΓ§ade is simple and inconspicuous. Pedestrians may not take a second look at it. But if you look at the family standing at the door, you will find that there is something in this house.
In the study room of the main courtyard of the royal mansion, there were more than a dozen people sitting around.
The man at the head was in his fifties, with a beard, a Confucian robe and a crown, and his eyes contained a dark light of wisdom.
He is Wang Kun, the head of the Langya Wang family.
In front of him, sat a dozen or so people in the same Confucian robes, ranging in age from seventeen or eighteen to thirty or forty.
"You all know what happened in the capital during this time." Wang Kun twisted his beard, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "The son of the Xie family is really powerful!" In three or two clicks, the Gao and Pei families will be beaten to the ground. There will soon be new changes in the current situation in the court, and you will be careful with the old man for the rest of the time, don't cause trouble, especially don't touch Xie Xun! β
"Uncle~"
The voice was made by a young man, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, but he sat in the first row, which showed his status in the family.
"Uncle, do we Wang family want to be silent like this forever? If that's the case, why did my uncle bring us to the capital? β
The young man was very puzzled, didn't he bring them to the capital just to help the crown prince seize the throne?
"Qijian, you are anxious again!" Wang Kun tapped the young man with his finger, "Our Wang family naturally wants to make a move, but not now." β
"When?" The teenager asked.
Wang Kun smiled silently.
Naturally, it was to wait until the Four Princes faction and the Seven Princes faction were defeated. Although Xie Shi has become very capable of fighting because of the sudden growth of the world, he believes that as long as he is patient enough, he will always be able to make him wait.
Wang Kun frowned, "If anyone dares to be disobedient and venture out to cause trouble, no matter what his identity is, I will definitely cross his name off the family tree!" β
Everyone gasped.
Expulsion from the family tree is the heaviest punishment, and it is only punished if you commit a felony that will implicate the entire family.
Although everyone was amazed, they all answered yes one after another.
Wang Kun waved his hand, "Let's go down." β
Soon, only a man in his thirties was left in the huge study room and stood beside Wang Kun.
"Father, do you have any other commands?"
This person is Wang Kun's eldest son, Wang Qiheng. He is now in the Ministry of Punishment.
"You send someone to take a good look at Qijian. He is young and vigorous, and he always wants to find Xie Xun to learn something. Don't you know that the most useless thing in the court dispute is the word learning. β
The most important thing for a qualified politician is to be an official. Young people usually don't understand, especially the talented and learned.
Wang Qiheng nodded, "Don't worry, father, my son will persuade my cousin." β
Wang Kun nodded with satisfaction. He has always been very relieved about this eldest son. This eldest son has been polished very sleek in the officialdom of the capital, and he can sit firmly in the position of the squire of the criminal department at the age of thirty.
The secretary of the criminal department is already old, at most three years, he will be a minister, and when the time comes, the position of the secretary of the criminal department will be his eldest son's.
At that time, it was time for the Wang family to really walk in front of everyone.
Now, let those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods fight to the death!
"By the way, how is Jin Niang doing?" Wang Kun suddenly thought of the reason why the Gao and Pei families fell into the quagmire, and it was the concubine who was given marriage that had a big problem. He couldn't help but worry about his eldest daughter.
"Except for being naughty on the day she entered the city, Jin Niang went to Donghai Department Store to buy ice cream and shaved ice, and stayed in the inner courtyard obediently the rest of the time, learning etiquette from the grandmother sent by the queen to prepare for the wedding."
Wang Kun nodded, "To Jin Niang, the old man is still very relieved." However, things like the day of the city must not happen again. Tell the maids and mothers-in-law in the inner courtyard to keep a close eye on the young lady, if there is a slight mistake, the old man will beat them all to death! β
In the embroidery building full of the smell of books.
On the chaise longue lay a slender woman with white and tender skin that could not even find the slightest flaw, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, but she was cold, like a snow lotus growing on the top of a high mountain.
"Miss, if you have anything uncomfortable, tell the slave and maid, don't be so depressed, it will hurt your body." The maid handed a bowl of shaved ice to the woman, "I just asked the little girl to buy it at the Donghai Department Store, and I brought it back with ice." β
The woman took the bowl of shaved ice, but only poked it a few times with a silver spoon before throwing it away.
"The thought that in less than a month I would be locked up in that unsightly place. I lost all my appetite. β
"Miss~"
"Layue, I heard that the concubine of the Pei family was canceled because she suffered from a disease that would be passed on to others, right?" The woman suddenly looked up, and there was a glint of excitement in her cold eyes.
The maid Layue immediately shouted nervously, "No! You don't know how much the old lady values your marriage to the crown prince! If the old lady knew that you were in your mind, she would definitely beat you to death! β
