Chapter 222: Storytelling
The queen is really difficult to ride a tiger, these ten girls were all personally selected by her, and now they have all become long-tongued women.
Being a lady is every woman's ultimate dream, Niangniang is the role model of women all over the world, and Niangniang is the existence that women all over the world look up to.
Their quality is directly pulled to the level of village women, how can this be worthy of the phoenix crown and phoenix skirt?
Take them all out and replace them? That would offend at least ten heavyweight courtiers, and it was a great honor for her daughter to be elected to the East Palace, wouldn't it be a shameful courtier for the queen to be returned for no reason?
The ten people who were replaced, and the courtiers behind them would also be dissatisfied. Why didn't you choose our daughter in the first place? Rather, to take their place after someone else has been returned? Is our daughter at the spare tire level?
And the ten families that are replaced will be put on the fire again, and whoever has a child who is returned and replaced by someone else will shout that there is a shady scene inside.
Therefore, the road of substitution is absolutely impossible, then there are only two ways.
Or just stick to it, no matter how good or bad it is to forcibly enter the palace, whether you can be a competent mother or not, who is really virtuous and disposed of later.
Either cancel the matter of taking a concubine for the prince, and only say that the prince has not yet returned to Beijing.
After learning the palace etiquette, these girls will go home and wait for the next year's draft, they are all set show girls, and they will only be divided into palaces after the draft.
After the show girl was selected, she entered the palace to learn palace etiquette, and then most of them were assigned to the emperor as concubines, and the level of the first palace was generally very low. But there are also some things that will be distributed to the prince and the county king, which is not a matter of certainty.
It is definitely not possible for the queen to cancel the concubine after thinking about it, if it is so easy to cancel this time, it will be even more difficult to give Ye Guyuanhong a concubine next time.
This matter must be settled quickly, and it is not advisable to change people. There is nothing wrong with these girls, the problem is in the rumors.
These girls have all been examined when they enter the palace, and no matter how fierce the rumors are, at least their bodies are innocent.
Rumors are surging all of a sudden, there must be something wrong with this, this phenomenon is not normal. So who will be making small moves behind the scenes?
The queen didn't have to think about it, she knew that this must be the ghost of the crown princess, because the matter of giving the crown prince a concubine only hindered her interests.
There is no conflict of interest with anyone else. No one is going to do a thankless job.
There are two reasons why the queen wants to give the crown prince a concubine, one is that she is afraid that Su Ruoshui's body will still have residual poison, and she is afraid that the child she gave birth to will not be healthy.
The other is that Su Ruoshui is too capable, and it is a good thing to have ability, but the queen always feels that she is too scheming.
It's definitely not good to be too scheming, especially if you use your scheming on the queen. The ledger after the last Qionglin banquet made the queen in a dilemma.
This time she gave the crown prince a concubine, she promised on the surface, pretending to be so well-behaved and submissive, and then came to such a hand, which put the queen in a dilemma.
The more the queen thought about it, the more depressed she became, this Su Ruoshui simply didn't know what to do, even if you could stop the prince from taking a concubine, could you stop the emperor from taking a concubine?
If you don't adapt to this life now, will you govern the harem in the future? The position of the queen is so easy to do? Are you safe without any means?
Giving the prince a concubine is for the sake of the prince, isn't it for your sake? A piece of kindness is exchanged for such a wolf heart and dog lungs of you.
The queen felt that her chest was clogged in a panic, which really responded to the saying, 'marry a daughter-in-law early and get angry early'.
The queen sighed heavily: "If only there were no such rumors." After that, the queen suddenly became energetic, right, wouldn't it be nice to have no such rumors?
The queen immediately ordered that no one should mention any of the ten girls before they entered the palace, and cut off their tongues with a word.
The rumors were cut by a knife and stopped with a 'click'.
"Queen Mother, something is wrong." A little eunuch ran into Kunning Palace in a panic, panting heavily: "Du Du Du"
"Speak well!" The queen made his nerves tense, he couldn't make a sentence, how anxious?
"Yes, yes, yes." He gasped twice: "Du Yuzhen hanged herself." ”
Du Yuzhen was tortured by this incident and was about to go crazy, she was wantonly bullied in prison, beaten and confined at home.
She thought that her life would be over, but she didn't expect to receive a notice from the palace that she was selected as a show girl to become the person next to the prince.
This is her dream all along, as long as she can get by Ye Gu Yuanhong's side, she believes that she will get better and better.
After entering the palace and starting to learn palace rituals, she was overjoyed, and finally said goodbye to the previous darkness.
Unexpectedly, the previous humiliation hit her over and over again, and the shots she wanted to forget were always inadvertently magnified in front of her.
Her psychological defense line had already collapsed to the point that there was no scum left, and when she woke up from a nap, there was no one in the room, and she suddenly felt good that she was asleep.
Anyway, she has become the biggest laughing stock of Tanglin, and she is just a laughed at when she lives, so it is better to relieve a thousand sorrows.
The queen was taken aback when she heard this, there has never been anything before, she learned a palace ritual in the palace and learned human life.
"Are you dead?"
"It's been resolved, the imperial doctor has gone, I don't know if I can save it, Mama Wang asked the slave to come and report it first."
When the queen led people over, Du Yuzhen had already relieved her breath, and there was a purple-blue strangulation mark on her neck, which didn't seem to be a joke.
The rumors in the palace stopped like a brake, but the rumors outside the palace couldn't stop like a rising tide.
There is always a source in the Yangtze River, and the roots can always be found in the trees that are thousands of feet high. It is said that on that day, Su Ruoyu took the two girls to Lingyun Temple to make incense, and just after bowing to Zi Guanyin, she wanted to ask for a lot, and when she turned around, she saw the sixth prince Ye Guyuan Ming looking at her with a smile.
Su Ruoyu was excited in broad daylight, not like seeing the Sixth Highness as if she had seen a ghost, her face was so frightened that her face turned pale, she didn't say hello, she didn't draw a lot, she raised her legs and ran out.
"Sister-in-law, where do you want to go?" Ye Gu Yuanming grabbed her as soon as he stretched out his hand, and pushed her into his arms with a little force, Su Ruoyu stood unsteadily and hugged the Sixth Highness directly.
"Ahh Su Ruoyu screamed in fright and hurriedly pushed him.
Ye Gu Yuanming let go of his hand, dusted off his dragon robe, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you always so enthusiastic?" ”
"See, see the Sixth Highness." Su Ruoyu stabilized his mind, he wouldn't mess around in this Buddhist pure land, right? Su Ruoyu looked at him, and somehow his legs felt like they were going to cramp.
"You're welcome." Ye Gu Yuanming didn't care about the Pure Land of Buddhism, but today he was not interested in Su Ruoyu. "I heard that you have a good relationship with Du Yuzhen, so I came over to tell you a story."
