Chapter 447 Colleagues Discuss
The private meeting between Yi Xingen and the minister in Xiaoshulin finally came to nothing!
The empress dowager was furious when she heard the news, and was told that the two were biological brothers and sisters, and what happened that day was caused by various accidents, and it was not out of deliberate ignorance to avoid suspicion... The empress dowager listened to the rest of the story, and in a word, With the blood relationship of their own brothers and sisters as a guarantee, coupled with the concubine's eloquent tongue, the two passed this test without any risk.
It's just that whether it's the loving mother, the empress dowager, or the empress, how can she be reconciled?
"To put it bluntly, there is a saying that sons avoid their mothers and daughters avoid their fathers. If this is the case between the parents and children of the direct relatives, let alone brothers and sisters?" Mother, brother and sister? Now that both of them are young and Yishi is beautiful, this... this... Your Majesty is too fond of the noble concubine!"
This is also knowing that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, still loves Chunjia after all, and dare not say it too frankly.
In fact, what the queen really wanted to say was that the emperor had lost his head?
The young and beautiful concubine meets her cousin privately in a dark grove. This stranger is a strong man, is it important to be a brother or sister? It's not that there are no blood relatives in a big family, and it's not a dirty thing!
There were similar examples in the royal family in the previous dynasties. Chunjia didn't have any sympathy at all, and let the two of them go lightly!
If it wasn't for the noble concubine's slander, how could it be possible!
"The Ai family knows." The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, said calmly, "But this is not something to be ashamed of. Of course it would be best if the big things can be turned into small things. Is it necessary to make it known to the whole world? On her birthday, did the imperial concubine and the foreign officials flirt with each other? Where does the royal face face? It is you, the empress, so is it very glorious?"
Even if the high-level people know that the harem has been assisted by the concubine and others for the past two years, how can the outside world know so much?
If outsiders know about Yi Xingen Hongxing's cheating, everyone will only think that the queen is a waste, how do you manage the harem to control the concubines?
Gu Zhen is also aware of this truth, but she is too unwilling.
Yun Fenghuang acted domineeringly and domineeringly, but he was precise in his measures. The queen had not been able to catch her decently all these years. After finally having such an opportunity, she still escaped from birth, what? ? ?
This is how the queen can swallow this breath willingly!
"What the queen mother said is true, but it's a big matter. If you follow your majesty, let's forget it. In the future, won't the rules be more relaxed?" The queen calmed down and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law knows It's okay to be stupid and shameful, but if the palace is in chaos because of this, how will the... daughter-in-law explain it in the future?"
The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, knew her thoughts well, but the Empress Dowager did not want Yun Fenghuang to be too complacent. After thinking for a moment, she said softly: "This time, you and I must have been used by the imperial concubine. She must be I already knew the relationship between Yi Shi and Du Langu, and I did it on purpose, just to use our hands to force Du Langu to recognize Yi Shi as her sister. However, you know nothing about her plan, so you just hit her head Get into the trap set by her! How can she have a lot of money for the farce she arranged? If you can turn this matter over at this moment, she will have been in the palace all these years in vain. "
He reminded, "Since the emperor has personally determined the nature of this matter, if you continue to toss about it, it will embarrass the emperor. This is not a smart way. How about this, there are people around your family, let's go and look at it." That Dulan Valley."
The queen was thoughtful.
The Empress Dowager did not dare to count on her comprehension ability, so she had to speak more carefully: "Du Langu did not come from a high family background, so he was appreciated by the emperor with his talent. Judging from the emperor's protection of him this time, there will be no accidents in the future." , must be of great use. Such a character, you, the queen, can't find it, and the noble concubine can't look at it? So you either try to win him over, or destroy him completely, and don't give the noble concubine his use. Chance, understand?"
"...Yes." The queen replied, after thinking for a while, she couldn't help asking, "My mother, but looking at Du Langu's words and deeds, it seems that she has no intention of colluding with the noble concubine?"
The Empress Dowager sighed: "At this time, at that time... When you entered the palace after changing the imperial concubine, did you see her? But now, going to the harem, and even to the Ai family, who dare not take the attitude of the imperial concubine as a return?" What? Du Langu hates the concubine right now, but he may not turn to the concubine in the future! He is not that kind of insignificant person, so, either let him become one of his own, or let him become a dead person who will not get in the way!"
The turmoil of the birthday banquet was covered up by various aspects, and it finally disappeared. Many people didn't even know it at all.
Afterwards, Du Langu paid a special visit to Deng Chengzhai to confirm his marriage with Xie Meng.
Deng Chengzhai didn't hide it, he directly admitted the matter, and revealed that he was quite satisfied with Xie Meng: "Miss Xie is very innocent and bright. Although she looks exactly like a concubine, her temperament is quite different."
"But I heard that Ms. Xie obeys the imperial concubine's orders?" In fact, Du Langu doesn't know how the imperial concubine, aunt, and nephew get along with each other. What he said was just to test Deng Chengzhai's attitude in the matter of seizing the heirloom in the future.
Sure enough, Deng Chengzhai shook his head slightly: "Where did you hear the rumors? Although the imperial concubine is a bit impatient, she has nothing to say to the younger generation of blood relatives. Miss Xie is the direct daughter of her brother and her direct niece. , and exactly like the empress when she was a child. Therefore, the imperial concubine and empress have always treated her as a daughter. In the Xuanqing Palace, the treatment is only worse than that of Princess Zhaoqing. Everything is based on Miss Xie's own decision. Don't force it. This is the past, since the Xie Clan was destroyed, the Miss Xie are the darlings of imperial concubines, and they are even more precious."
Du Langu didn't really believe this.
Because not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Da Yan family chose this one. How could a normal girl be willing to marry Wei He far away?
It's not that he looks down on Wei He.
The key is how old Xie Kuo is now?
Generally speaking, girls at such a young age, as Deng Chengzhai said, are mostly innocent. Unless there are elders in the family who see the sky and ask for orders, otherwise they will not be contaminated with too many worldly trade-offs.
The wishful husband in their minds is generally a noble son of a similar age, with both talent and appearance, gentle and considerate.
It's not an alien monarch who has no understanding thousands of miles away, and is even cruel and inhumane in the elders' comments.
It is difficult for the nobleness of the Da Yan family to attract them themselves. At most, after attracting the elders who can make decisions for them, they can only be ordered, coaxed, or induced to make them agree.
So whether Xie Kuo is happy or not, in Du Langu's view, it is evidence that the imperial concubine is not as considerate and indulgent to her niece as Deng Chengzhai said.
He and Deng Chengzhai had known each other for a long time, and they had a good relationship with each other, and there were not so many twists and turns, so he raised any doubts directly.
Deng Chengzhai was not angry when he heard this, and said: "You have been released for many years, maybe you don't know. Although they are all the nieces of the noble concubine, the three Miss Xie raised in the Xuanqing Palace are also different."
He told Du Langu about the situation of Xie Meng, Xie Kuo, and Xie's father and brother. He didn't deliberately deceive Du Langu, and he thought so too: in fact, it was Yun Fenghuang who deliberately let the outside world, including Chun Jia, think.
That is, the one Yun Fenghuang loves the most and treats like a daughter is without a doubt Xie Meng.
Because not only was Xie Meng born exactly like Yun Fenghuang, but he was also close to this aunt by blood, the most important thing was that she was the first to be brought into the palace, and the imperial concubine took the initiative to do it.
As for Xie Kuo, the second to enter the palace, he was brought along, and it can even be said that he used family affection to kidnap the noble concubine and forcibly force him.
Let alone the last thank you, this was arranged by the concubine's biological mother, Mrs. Jiang, and outsiders speculated that it was to balance Xie's fourth wife's quarrel with the concubine. It is also to let Xie Xie marry a good man in the future to increase his value.
All in all, Xie Meng is the only one who dotes on the imperial concubine as a niece without asking for anything in return.
The other two nieces made more or less calculations and arrangements.
Therefore, Deng Chengzhai has a relatively optimistic view of his relationship with the noble concubine after marrying Xie Meng. Even Xie Meng, a child who was spoiled by the noble concubine, may not necessarily obey the noble concubine. He may still coax this young prospective fiancee to the right. He obeyed his own words.
Furthermore, as a close minister of the emperor, he is very sensitive to Chunjia's attitude.
But it's not very disgusting to be close to the imperial concubine.
At least not for now.
As for the future...
It's not like he can't turn his face!
After all, right now he looks at the noble concubine as acceptable, and Xie Meng is very satisfied.
Besides, what if you are not satisfied? This is the emperor himself as a matchmaker, is there any room for him to refuse!
After hearing his words, Du Langu pondered for a long time, and finally told the whole story about his relationship with Yi Xingen. Of course, regarding the fact that Yi Xingen once lived in a brothel, both siblings tacitly kept their mouths shut.
After all, it is a great insult to the emperor for a brothel girl, even a brothel girl who has never lost her body, to enter the palace to serve Chunjia.
At the beginning Du Langu knew that Yi Xingen's identity was not qualified, not only did he not expose it, he even let her do it. With this, it was very difficult for him not to be stained in front of the emperor.
Although he was so stubborn that he didn't even give the imperial concubine face, he was not so stupid that he didn't know who gave him the capital to not give the imperial concubine face.
Without the protection of the emperor, even if he is a foreign minister, the imperial concubine's killing him is nothing more than a few times of pillow gossip.
It's just that if he offends the imperial concubine, he will be in some trouble at most; if he offends the imperial concubine, then he will really have no future or even no future.
At this moment, I only said that Yi Xingen is my half-sister. When I became an heir, I lost contact with my biological parents' family. When I became an adult, my heir's parents passed away. I missed my blood relatives. After inquiring, I found out that Yi Xing'en was living abroad and living under the fence: " At that time, my heart softened and I sent someone to bring her out. Originally, I wanted to let her find a honest man as a wife, and I was worthy of my biological parents. But she didn't want to, and just used the excuse of amnesia to get in among the girls. I am so angry that I don't want to have any more contact with her... but I don't know if this incident was an accident, or the imperial concubine ordered her to do it deliberately in order to win me over?"
