52. The Queen Mother's dream
The eighth prince, Prince Qin, has always been the knot in Jiang Guifei's heart.
No one knew her state of mind when she learned that Emperor Yanchang had named the eighth prince Prince Qin, how could a stinky child be named the prince?
Concubine Jiang Guifei thinks that she is not inferior to Concubine Ji De in the slightest, her family background is not bad, her beauty is not bad, and even her grace, who is worse than whom?
Emperor Yanchang's choice of the Eighth Prince means that Concubine Jiang's struggle over the years is just a joke.
Jiang Guifei wants to be the queen mother, the queen mother of beautiful scenery, unwilling to grovel, and let everyone succumb to her skirt, which is her ideal.
Queen Lu has no favor and no children, unlike her who has children and favors, the queen mother's throne, Queen Lu sits, can't she sit?
That's not her character, she should be the best. What kind of concubine, is there a queen mother shining? Empress Dowager Ji, an old immortal, dared to point fingers at her only because her son was the emperor, she didn't believe it, her children were not as good as others!
"Sister Guifei, Chu'er knows the etiquette, the second prince and the third prince are harmonious brothers, I think Chu'er is also very happy that he has two brothers who love him."
Concubine Ji Defei smiled.
Jiang Guifei is really ambitious, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she wants Prince Qin to be a minister, and she is really impatient.
But it doesn't matter, Prince Qin really needs the help of the second prince and the third prince at present, who made him just a child?
Concubine Ji De took a deep breath, she gave up everything for the sake of Chu'er. Chu'er, please be sure to fight for it.
"That's okay," Jiang Guifei looked cold, "The eighth prince is also Bing'er's younger brother, the fourth prince has always been humble, and the eighth prince's gift is waiting for Bing'er to be accepted by the palace." ”
You're not polite at all, Jiang Guifei has this attitude, if she wants to come, she will come, and she will not come to pull it down.
"The concubine thanked the concubine."
Concubine Ji De made a big salute.
Don't look at Emperor Yanchang's treatment of Concubine Ji De's mother and son, but Jiang Guifei can't go over in terms of reputation, Jiang Guifei has deep qualifications, and there are two princes, with straight waists, it is impossible to be a low-ranking concubine.
"Concubine De, these eight princes are also my child from now on, and I have the opportunity to bring him to Fuqing Palace to play more."
Concubine Jiang Guifei's wish came true, and Concubine Ji De's expression eased a lot.
Let the eighth prince attract the attention of Emperor Yanchang for the second prince and the third prince, and then send the eighth prince away after the matter is completed.
Concubine Jiang will not tolerate any heirs who are not born to her, especially those who threaten the throne.
The eighth prince, Prince Qin, is the stepping stone for Jiang Guifei to reach the top of the Queen Mother.
Concubine Ji De pretended not to know, and smiled slightly: "The words of the concubine Niangniang, the concubine body remembered it." ”
What else can you do when you bring the Eighth Prince to Fuqing Palace? Isn't it Emperor Yanchang?
Concubine Ji De sneered in her heart, you do the first year of junior high school and I will do the fifteenth, just see who is smarter than whom.
"Sister Concubine De, speaking of which, you are a relative of the Queen Mother, and in terms of relationship, you are closer than this palace. The Queen Mother likes you so much, you have to serve her well. ”
was busy with the eighth prince, and he did not forget the Empress Dowager Ji.
For Empress Dowager Ji, Concubine Jiang Guifei also has an attitude, she is going to die horizontally and vertically, so it is better to lend her a hand.
Concubine Ji De said: "The queen mother has always been considerate of the concubine, and also considerate of the many concubines in the harem, the queen mother often serves the queen mother, and the concubine does not dare to fight in front of the queen mother." ”
Even if Empress Lu is not Empress Dowager Ji's favorite daughter-in-law candidate, but over the years, Empress Lu has managed the harem in an orderly manner, is not jealous or resentful, suppresses Jiang Guifei and them, spreads branches, and raises the imperial heir, but it proves that she is a virtuous queen.
Every once in a while, Empress Lu also wants to ask the Empress Dowager Ji for peace.
"The queen mother has always been lenient, you go to serve the queen mother, that is filial piety, and the queen mother has no reason to send you away."
Jiang Guifei seemed to be smiling. What do you want to prove when Queen Lu comes out? Concubine Ji De's careful thinking was too obvious.
Not only did Concubine Jiang want to be the queen mother, but Concubine Ji De even wanted to, otherwise she would not have given up her childhood sweetheart, and resolutely entered the palace to become the emperor's woman, and she was a concubine.
Being in the harem, it can't be said that there is no benefit at all, at least Concubine Ji De has obtained the scenery and happiness that outsiders can't taste, the ups and downs, it depends on the individual.
"After all, the queen is the mother of the country, and the concubine retreats behind her willingly."
Concubine Ji De reminded Concubine Jiang that Empress Lu was the rightful daughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Ji, and she was just a concubine.
Jiang Guifei's face froze. After being a concubine for so many years, what she is most worried about is that after a hundred years, she can only even be buried with Queen Lu in the imperial mausoleum, and it is very likely that she is not even qualified for a joint burial.
No, she wants a grand funeral, and she is the only one who can occupy the position next to Emperor Yanchang.
No matter how noble the concubine is, in the end it is not as practical as the queen's joint burial.
"Humph!"
Concubine Jiang Guifei slowly walked down the steps, facing Concubine Ji De, she said word by word: "Concubine Ji De, are you here to remind the palace?" Even if you are a concubine, this palace can crush you to death! ”
Stretching out a finger, his face was pale.
Concubine Ji De quickly bowed her head and said respectfully: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
"What's not to dare?" Jiang Guifei said disdainfully, "You Ji Tingfu gave up her fiancé and chose to enter the palace, you can't fall in love with Your Majesty, right?" What does Your Majesty have more than your fiancé? Don't you think it's ridiculous and funny to say this kind of thing? ”
Not to mention Concubine Ji De's other purpose, Concubine Jiang Guifei, an old man who has followed Emperor Yanchang for many years, does not have the deep friendship for Emperor Yanchang that it seems.
Jiang Guifei thought very clearly, if she can't be a righteous wife, it won't be love, not to mention, Emperor Yanchang has so many women, how can she love? The Jiang family and their sons are more important than Emperor Yanchang.
The husband can find another woman, but she can only have these two sons.
This is the difference between her husband and her children, she loves her children, loves the Jiang family, and she will not love Emperor Yanchang. Looking at the harem, there are few people who really like Emperor Yanchang, Queen Lu definitely doesn't love it, she hasn't even been jealous all these years, obviously she is more respectful than admired.
Concubine Ji De was said to be thoughtful, and her face turned red.
Emperor Yanchang is indeed here for a rich future, and it is her dream to be the queen mother, which her fiancé cannot give.
"What the concubine wants, Your Majesty knows best."
Anyway, Concubine Ji De refused to admit her heart's desire.
It is precisely this point that Jiang Guifei looks down on Concubine Ji De the most, hypocrisy, why bother?
"Forget it, if you don't say it, this palace won't force it. Anyway, the answer is clear at a glance. Speaking of this, Concubine Jiang Guifei smiled proudly.
"Concubine Ji De, you are the one who judges the situation, go back."
Concubine Jiang Guifei sent Concubine Ji De away, she was in no mood to face Concubine Ji De anymore, she was not broad-minded, and she also held grudges, Concubine Ji De's grand favor and provocation back then are still vivid.
It's not a fuel-efficient lamp, Emperor Yanchang thinks she's pure and cute, empathetic, Jiang Guifei, hehe, this kind of creature is cheap, and he likes the demon slut the most, and he pretends to say that he doesn't like it.
When Concubine Ji De heard this, she called the nurse and left Fuqing Palace with the eighth prince.
Jiang Guifei's palace maiden said: "Concubine De Niangniang is clearly a trap for Niangniang, why did Niangniang still agree to Concubine De?" ”
Concubine Ji De said it well back then just to serve the Queen Mother and enter the palace, but Emperor Yanchang was extremely partial to her, and went to her palace for several months in a row, not pampering other concubines at all, which also made Concubine Ji De win in one fell swoop and become famous.
Concubine Ji De is very favored, and she is also quite provocative to Concubine Jiang This kind of thing is remembered clearly, and she doesn't think that Concubine Jiang will be relieved and forgive Concubine Ji De.
"So what? She has Prince Qin, and the Eighth Prince is much more important than Concubine Ji De. ”
Jiang Guifei smiled incomprehensibly.
The eighth prince is the most favored son of Emperor Yanchang, with the prince of Qin, is the second prince and the third prince still worried about the big thing?
Shanniang said: "Niangniang is high. ”
Wouldn't it be advantageous to pull Prince Qin into the camp of the second princes?
"Your Majesty loves Prince Qin so much, then this palace should also take good care of the Eighth Prince."
Jiang Guifei's eyes flashed with a strange light, Qin Chu Qin Chu, hum!
The intrigue of the harem women is only the tip of the iceberg, but Yuan Lingchao followed Mrs. Ke to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to pray for blessings.
When Mrs. Ke's mother, Mrs. Xu, was seriously ill for a long time, seeing that time was running out, Mrs. Ke specially took her daughter Yuan Lingchao to the temple to pray for blessings.

Yuan Lingchao asked Mrs. Ke: "Mother, are the cousins coming?" ”
"They will come too, and praying for blessings is a big event, and they can't be absent."
Mrs. Ke has two elder brothers, four younger brothers and two younger sisters, and the concubines have less contact with each other, and her half-brother, the second master, has gone more.
Even with it, the children of the second master and Yuan Lingchao's side also have frequent contacts. Yuan Lingchao and the daughters of the second master are also acquaintances, and they won't care too much when the girls in the boudoir make friends.
"Mother, look, is that my uncle's family?"
Yuan Lingchao pointed to a gorgeous carriage.
