Chapter Fortieth Du's Second Daughter

After Qian's mother and daughter received the news that the palace maid was pregnant, they really became anxious.

If only one servant girl was pregnant, they could still pray that the other party was only pregnant with a female fetus.

The big deal is that a dowry will be sent out with her in the future, that's all.

But both of them are happy, what if a male heir is born?

At that time, even if the concubine and concubines are different, they will not be able to withstand the support of the imperial concubine behind them. If the house fights, how can the concubine born of the Qian family resist it?

The second daughter was complained by her mother and sisters again, but this girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp. After crying and crying, she said: "It's like this now, so what if you blame me? Even if you force me to die, can I become a noble concubine?" I will let you go back? Don't dream, this master is not good. I heard that His Majesty's first imperial concubine died at her hands. That is a serious imperial concubine, isn't she a success? The stepping stone for her to sit on the position of imperial concubine? Don't you think that my life can make her feel afraid?"

"So for the present plan, we should quickly find a way to fulfill the request of the imperial concubine."

"Otherwise none of us will have good fruit to eat!"

Then he said, "Furthermore, it's time now, why not think about the benefits? If this job is done well, maybe the imperial concubine will be happy. Not only will the maids be dealt with, but it will also give us some benefits."

Qian's heart was tired and said: "When is it, do you still dare to think about the benefits? Besides, your father has a bright future, if it wasn't for the noble concubine's being unreasonable this time, why would we be here? Why should you expect her to give you your future?"

"Mother, you are so confused!" The second daughter said with a sneer, "It's because we are relying on Daddy alone, so you saw it? Once Daddy can't count on us, we can only wait for death. You are Daddy who is married Even if a few maidservants enter the backyard and give birth to children, you shouldn’t be so terrified at first! But when you heard the news, you lost your mind. Why? Apart from youthful affection and daughters, there is nothing else that can win over daddy! But if you are favored by the imperial concubine and empress, how can daddy abandon you at will?"

"You are the one who is confused!" Qian's face darkened, "Don't forget, your father never liked the imperial concubine! Otherwise, your aunt is the proud person in front of the imperial concubine. If he wants to seek refuge with the imperial concubine, who would be more inconvenient? "

The second daughter said: "The reason why daddy did this is because he has long been in the heart of the emperor. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he will have a bright future! So naturally, there is no need to please the imperial concubine or empress. After all, your majesty is wise and mighty, no matter how much you love the imperial concubine, you will never lose your temper." I definitely don’t like courtiers who value you in collusion with the harem. But mother, forgive my daughter, the only one in our family who is in the emperor’s heart is father alone, and our mother and daughter are not among them! If you don’t take advantage of this moment to catch the line of imperial concubine, today A noble concubine can use the maids to make you restless, and tomorrow, if we offend someone, or block someone's way, maybe someone else will also try to get Daddy... At that time, what do you think we will do? ?”

"Like the imperial concubine herself is a clear example!"

"Your Majesty's love for the concubine is much more important than that of your father! If that's the case, the concubine is still trying every means to uplift her natal family and win over the courtiers? What do you think she is not doing a good job in the harem? Is there such a thing? Don’t you think it’s not reliable to place all your hopes on the emperor’s favor. I also don’t think about how indulgent your majesty is to the imperial concubine. The queen depends on the imperial concubine’s face. The imperial concubine is still so prepared. Your mother If you still think that everything will be fine as long as you get through this test, then you should make an appointment for your daughter earlier in the future, and don't let something happen to you, causing your daughter to have no good family."

Qian was so angry that he raised his hand: "You bastard! How dare you talk to Wei Niang like this! Besides, you, a girl who has never been out of the court, can say something like this?!"

Talking and scolding, although the second daughter's attitude is not polite, and her words are not pleasant, but every sentence speaks to Qian's heart.

If she was born into a wealthy family, not to mention that she doesn't have to be afraid of a few maidservants, even noble concubines, can she and her daughters be driven to Shanyuan Temple and placed under house arrest until now?

For someone who was born in a famous family like the Yin family, the Luo family, the Meng family, and the Ouyang family, the husband does not show up, and his father, brother, and mother's family help to intercede.

But how can it be like them that the imperial concubine really can't get out without speaking?

"...This unfilial daughter is right in saying that the husband is young and promising, and he is very fond of him. He doesn't need the support of the imperial concubine or empress." Qian sighed in his heart, and secretly said, "But it's not the case for me and my daughters. .”

Her heart was shaken immediately.

She didn't know that the second daughter who had been chatting with her just a moment ago now wandered into a corner, and cautiously asked the figure in the corner who couldn't see her face: "...I told my mother what you taught, I must have She will think clearly in two days. But she doesn't know what to do next?"

"The next step is naturally to find a way to leave the Taoist temple." The man chuckled and said slowly, "You probably don't know. At the beginning of the year, the imperial concubine and the empress discussed that they would use the summer vacation as an excuse to let Her Royal Highness Princess Xincheng Before marrying far away, I bid farewell to the female companions I used to know, set up a few more banquets, and invited the daughters of official families to participate... As for the real purpose, I don’t think I need to say too much. Now the princes in the palace There is no one who is married, such an opportunity is simply rare..."

The second daughter opened her eyes wide, her breathing subconsciously rapid.

Although she knew that the other party was deliberately seducing, the second daughter had to admit that she was moved.

This can't be blamed on her greed for wealth and honor. After all, the princes were all young, regardless of their aptitude, they could be called handsome and upright, regardless of their status. This alone is enough to seduce many young girls, and their noble background , a transcendent status, and a guaranteed future is also a vassal king... Unless it is a girl who really doesn't care about fame, fortune and status, no one can control her.

As for the fact that the emperor is in his prime and the crown prince has not yet been registered, these princes will definitely be subject to conflicts for the crown prince.

How to say it?

At this time, the identity and future of a girl are closely related to her father, brother and husband, and it is not in her own hands.

Now that it's time to rush, even if you don't marry into the royal family, but only marry the children of the right family, you can't keep your husband's family from being involved in the turmoil, standing in the wrong line, and being implicated.

In contrast, after entering the prince's backyard, he enjoyed the scenery, didn't he?

The second daughter knew in her heart that the Du family was weak, and only her father had the qualifications to enter the central government.

In order to be a direct minister, her father even refused to take advantage of the relationship between her aunt and concubine, and even deliberately alienated her.

In this case, it is impossible for her to marry into the royal family in her spare time.

Because her father would not allow it first... Du Langu is going to be a straight minister and a lonely minister. He is walking the route of keeping his ears to the outside world and only focusing on the Holy Son of Heaven. How could it be possible for his daughter, Or a prostitute, marrying the prince? Isn't this rushing to get involved in the next crown prince battle!

Therefore, if the second daughter wants to be the clan's wife, she can only seize the opportunity of this banquet. It is best to try to make the prince or a certain prince's mother, stepmother and concubine fancy. With the help of these people, it is possible to make Du Langu compromise, or I have to compromise. Otherwise, how could she beat her own father?

As for how embarrassing Du Langu should be after doing this... The second daughter doesn't care.

In order to instigate the imperial daughter's cousin to help her against Wei's daughter, she even dared to reveal the background of Qin Wang Zhaoqing, which is obviously a bold and strong one.

At this moment, I comforted myself: "I am doing this for my father's good. If I marry the prince, I will be able to support and take care of my father when I get a higher status in the future... I can't wrong my marriage for my father's sake? In that case, Daddy won't think that I've been wronged because of him, he just thinks that I should listen to him, but why bother?"

The second daughter regained her composure, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the imperial concubine is ready to let us go out?"

The man smiled and said: "How is this possible? What is the status of a noble concubine, how can you take back what you say so easily?"

"...But the assignment given by the imperial concubine is too difficult." The second daughter was immediately disappointed, and even a little suspicious that the other party was just entertaining herself, "We have been inquiring about these days, but you have also said some trivial things. There is no need to tell the imperial concubine...the people in this Taoist temple greeted the empress dowager back then, so why are they afraid of us? They are not afraid, so they refuse to pay attention to our insinuations, so what are we going to do?"

The man thought for a while, then sighed: "It's been a long time, and you are still like this, and it's really not a problem. How about this, I will show you a clear way, so as not to delay it all the time, and it will also hinder me not to make a deal .”

So he said euphemistically, "It's true that the nuns in the Taoist temple are not easy to deal with directly, but if there is a way to catch them... wouldn't it be easy?"

Seeing the second daughter thoughtful, the man secretly smiled and retreated quietly.

This incident was reported to Yun Fenghuang the next morning, Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly after listening, "That's right, everything is done by Qian's mother and daughter, it has nothing to do with us."

Thinking about it again, I asked, "What's the name of the second daughter of the Qian family? If she needs to use it, it doesn't hurt to give her a future at that time."

The main reason is that this kind of filial daughter who puts her own future ahead of her own father's has a good use, so she might be a good candidate to coerce Du Langu.

Chen Jing said with a smile, and said: "Speaking of this banquet, the servants have also received many requests in the past two days, all of which are for the servants to speak well for their girls in front of the empress."

"You just keep it." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Don't waste the benefits of being delivered to your door."

He asked again, "It's just that there are really outstanding ones, let's talk about it with Bengong alone. After all, the children are raised by Bengong with hard work, and if there are good ones, I don't want to make it easier for others."

After discussing things like this for a while, some palace people from outside came to report, saying that the seventh prince came back from the empress dowager to get some things.

"It's been hard for him to serve the Empress Dowager these days." Yun Fenghuang stopped talking about Chen Jing, ordered someone to summon the Seventh Prince, and sighed, "Poor thing, King Qin and the others He is eager to go out and play, but he is fine, seeing Tianzhu in the palace, I don't know when the Empress Dowager will be well?"

The left and right are busy comforting and saying that it will be fine soon.

Just as he was talking, the seventh prince came in, and after seeing the ceremony, he smiled and took a box of incense sticks and Yunfeng Huang, saying that they were rewarded by the Empress Dowager: "The great-great-grandmother said that these were the spices that the great-grandfather paid tribute to the Jiaozhi Kingdom. It's also very rare, and it's useless for the minister to hold it, so why not let the concubine mother play with it."

"Your great-grandmother gave it to you. What did you do for your mother and concubine?" Yun Fenghuang listened happily, took it over and opened it, then smiled and annoyed him. Grab everything from the former prince, and take it back."

The seventh prince said that he had no interest in spices: "If you don't give it to the concubine, it will be put in the box. Isn't it a waste?"

"My son is also at this age, even if he doesn't need it, he can put it away first and save it for the concubine later." Yun Fenghuang teased him, "Where would it be wasted?"

"Mother and concubine!" The seventh prince blushed slightly, and said, "My son is the seventh, even if he is old, and the marriage of the elder brothers is still undecided, it is still not the son's turn."

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Mother Concubine, after taking care of your elder brother is you, why are there so many things?"

After a few jokes, seeing that the Seventh Prince was really embarrassed, he let the son go and asked about his recent situation in front of the Empress Dowager.

When I heard that the tenth prince was going to ask An to take care of him the next day, and the queen's niece Gu Jue was also going to bring tea and water the next day, I couldn't help raising my eyebrows slightly.
