Chapter 77: Gu Jue Speaks

After the literary meeting was over, news of Koch's engagement came out before all the rumors and accidents at the meeting were fully spread.

His fiancée is beyond everyone's expectations: Mrs. Zhun Yongchun's youngest sister, Xiao Feng.

The Feng family just barely stepped into the category of officials and officials. In terms of the lintel, if Marquis Yongchun insisted on taking stunning beauty as his main wife, then he would be qualified to be a concubine.

At first everyone thought that this was the limit of the daughters of the Feng family, and when they heard that they took advantage of the royal family's respect for Marquis Yongchun, they licked their faces and stuffed both daughters into the Wenhui hosted by Princess Zhaoqing, they were a little mocking, thinking that this The whole family wants to climb the dragon and attach itself to the phoenix, and they are crazy.

Even if Feng's daughter is really stunning, being able to catch up with the Marquis of Yongchun is a blessing, why is it that the nobles will make a second mistake?

Who knew that this little Feng family was assigned to Ke He who was said to only want Princess Shang Zhaoqing wholeheartedly?

For a moment, people were extremely curious, just how beautiful is this daughter of the Feng family?

Could it be that she could be better than the most beautiful Princess Zhaoqing among the princesses rumored to be?

Otherwise, why would Koch be called to empathize with another at a literary meeting?

"Mother and concubine, is little Feng really beautiful?" In the palace, Princess Zhaoqing crossed the courtyard unhappily, walked up to Yun Fenghuang, and said aggrievedly, "At the banquet that day, because of Jin Xi's advice, Erchen also took a look, isn't that the case? This is not because Erchen is jealous!"

"You are a majestic empress, what is that identity?" Yun Fenghuang couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's just a girl from a humble background, comparable to you, is she worthy? You are also from a child's family, so you only account Compared with such words. Those who say these words, I am afraid that any maid in the palace will be dragged out, and they have never seen them in their lives."

Zhaoqing was immediately happy when he heard it, and curled his lips again: "It's just that other people are fine, then Koch..."

"Do you really believe that Ke He has moved on?" Yun Fenghuang interrupted with a sneer, "It's still the same sentence: Is Xiao Feng a match? It's just that someone didn't want him to marry you, so he did it on purpose."

She looked at the ignorant daughter in front of her, sighed, and analyzed patiently, "It's not a day or two since Ke He admired you, and it's not a day or two since his grandfather Ning Guogong objected to this matter. The previous fan meeting, it should be Let Ning Guogong make up his mind to cut the mess quickly. You are the emperor's daughter, Ning Guogong can't do anything to you, so naturally he can only discipline his grandson. The best and most convenient way to stop Ke He from pursuing you is of course to let He is engaged to other people! It's just Koch's feelings for you, no one of the nobles knows? How can a girl who is really carefully cultivated be allowed to be tortured in the past? It would be too hasty to marry a random one. The Feng family came from a humble background, but her birth was considered outstanding, and she was the future sister-in-law of the Marquis of Yongchun. This status is not high, but she also has a little reliance. Being a brother-in-law of a Marquis from the same clan is not a big grievance. Great. The key point is that the Feng family tends to follow others, and whenever the Ke family proposes marriage, even if they know that Ke He admires you, they will never disagree."

Zhaoqing frowned. To be honest, she didn't have any special feelings for Koch.

Although it is said that Ke He has loved her for many years, how affectionate and righteous it is, but in Zhao Qing's view... Isn't this a matter of course?

She knows better than anyone else that she is born noble, overwhelmed by the country, talented and beautiful, smart and intelligent... okay?

So she deserves this kind of deep affection, so what's so touching about it?

The reason why she brought this matter up to Yun Fenghuang at this moment is because she is not convinced that the outside world thinks she is being compared to Xiao Feng!

"As far as Ke He's temper is concerned, it's fine for the little Feng family not to be in front of him, but if he is in front of him, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive." Yun Fenghuang continued, "It's just that this should be the plan of the Ke family... You are the eldest daughter of the royal family, how precious you are! Ke He is good enough to match you, but if you have been engaged to the death of your fiancée or even your wife, what qualifications do you have to court you?"

"Mother Concubine!" Zhaoqing couldn't help but said, "Could it be that the marriage of Erchen is left to these people's calculations?"

She didn't necessarily want Ke He to be her son-in-law. The key point was that, in the eyes of the princess, she could only pick and choose and say no to Ko He. It could not be Ko He or Ko He's family members who made a statement!

She is the master!

Yun Fenghuang sighed and said: "Of course the concubine mother is looking for you, but your father...he is the emperor after all, and he has to think about the thousands of miles! Originally, on the day of the literary conference, he wanted to make you come down!" For Yin's son, the mother and concubine fought hard on the grounds to ask him to agree to let you wait for two years before choosing a son-in-law, so as not to be involved in the situation. Originally thought, so to speak, there is always room for buffering. Who knew that the Ke family moved so fast ?”

Here, I'm afraid Chunjia and Gu's have contributed a lot.

If there was a little more delay, it would be Yun Fenghuang's turn to make a move.

In fact, this time it wasn't that she was unresponsive, but that she had just been beaten by Chunjia, and it was inconvenient to do it immediately.

Who knew that after Chunjia stabilized her, she was really worried, which made the Ke family hire Xiao Feng, and even impatiently set a wedding date in two months?

Yun Fenghuang was clear about Ke's plan at a glance, they knew very well that Ke He could not accept little Feng, even this little Feng was very beautiful.

But it doesn't matter, as long as this little Feng family blocks Ke He's way to become the Lord, the Ke family doesn't care about his own experience and life or death.

If you want to break the situation right now, of course start with Koch himself.

It's just that since the Ke family betrothed this grandson so quickly, how could they give Yun Fenghuang a chance to get in touch with him?

At this moment, the imperial concubine told Zhaoqing exactly what Chunjia planned. What she meant was that your father still loves you. .

If it were another princess, even if she was a little wronged, she should be satisfied.

After all, Chunjia basically didn't pay much attention to the imperial daughters other than Zhaoqing, including the nine imperial daughters who were also at Yunfenghuang's knee.

But precisely because Zhaoqing has received too much love from her father, she has long been used to being always ranked first, but now she realizes that this is not the case at all. It is rumored that Xiao Feng is more beautiful than her, and she is simply vulnerable , Holding back tears after listening, he ran away crying.

Seeing this, the left and right couldn't bear it, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your highness is young, and now you know so much at once, will you be unbearable?"

"What can't you bear?" Yun Fenghuang was very calm, "Anyway, she is also the most favored princess, if she can't stand it, the other princesses will also stop living."

She thought to herself that because Chunjia had been kind to Zhaoqing all these years, although this daughter listened to her very much, she still had a lot of admiration for Chunjia.

At this moment, she is going to take a strong medicine to make Zhaoqing understand that Chunjia is really unreliable.

In this way, this daughter can completely rely on herself, which is convenient for the next plan.

"It's a good thing that the palace has been prepared, otherwise, this time, I will have to be passive." The imperial concubine ignored Zhaoqing's affairs and sighed softly, "Although the empress is dull, she has a good niece! That Gu Jue is not very old, but she has a lot of thoughts! Taking advantage of Ke Chaoruo's siege at the literary meeting, these days, have you been in contact with Ke Chaoruo? If things go on like this, I'm afraid that this girl will be won over by Zhonggong... When the time comes, I will How difficult is it going to be here?"

Although the two palaces have plans to compete with the grandchildren of the Ke family, in fact, they each have their own priorities: the queen wants Ke Chaoruo more, after all, she has no daughter, and if the niece marries Ke He, there is a layer of separation, why not? It is convenient for the direct son-in-law to order.

But Yun Fenghuang wanted Koch more.

The main reason is that her biological son, King Jin, is young and not suitable for Ke Chaoruo.

If the three sons, King Qin, Seventh Prince, and Ninth Prince, were to marry Ke Chaoruo, it would be embarrassing if the adopted son was brought up by the Yue family, so that King Jin would not be there a few times.

So Yun Fenghuang pretended to attach importance to Ke Chaoruo on the surface, but in private, he was already prepared...

Not two days after Ke He got married, news spread that Ke Chaoruo, a young lady of the Ke family, had been promised to a new scholar from a poor family.

It is said that this marriage happened by chance, because Ke Chaoruo encountered trouble when he went out, and after a hero rescued the beauty, each of them had a relationship... Of course, this was specially spread to confuse right and wrong, but in fact it was Xie Wuzheng who sent someone I contacted Ke Chaoruo's parents in private, and told them with facts and reason, if Ke Chaoruo became the daughter-in-law of the Zhonggong, it would be absolutely impossible to protect the daughter-in-law in the court with the methods of the Zhonggong.

And Ke Chaoruo himself did not have the ability to be a royal daughter-in-law.

So I don't want my daughter to have a bad end, and I don't want the bamboo basket to fetch water in time, so I just be honest.

Although the Ke family was very angry, but considering the noble concubine's record in palace battles and the queen's successive defeats, after much deliberation, it was really unnecessary to bet on a daughter who had worked so hard to raise for a moment of anger.

After all, the meaning of Ning Guogong and the emperor is there...

In the end, he made an engagement to his daughter as soon as possible.

"This round is considered a tie." In the Woxia Tower, the queen's face sank like water, and she said slowly, "The noble concubine failed to recruit Ke He as her son-in-law, and my palace failed to make Ke Chaoruo my daughter-in-law...there is still more to come. fight."

After all, after deducting the Ke family, which holds the military power, other high-ranking families, such as the Yin family, the Meng family, the Luo family, the Ouyang family, the Yun family, etc... Although they are also time-honored and famous families, they lack the Ke family's ability to control at critical moments. Live the power of the scene.

Chunjia is not stupid, how could she allow a family with a deep foundation to hold a heavy army?

Such a national struggle will inevitably enter into a long and complicated intrigue.

This is Chunjia's purpose, because the more the situation is like this, the more able to see the princes' ability, talent and disposition, but this is extremely tense and painful for both parties involved, no matter the queen, the imperial concubine or the princes.

Thinking of this, the queen pinched the center of her brows, and said wearily, "Without Ke Chaoruo, who should I choose as Xiao Shi's concubine? You will all be by my side that day, so let's talk about your opinions?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Miss Jue?" Looking at each other, she said in a low voice, "Didn't the old lady keep saying that Miss Jue has a lot of ideas?"

"Jue'er?" The queen hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Forget it, then let her come over."

However, after Gu Jue arrived, he made a suggestion that was beyond the Queen's expectations: "Auntie, of course the tenth cousin's concubine must be carefully selected. But my niece feels that there is no need to focus on Cousin Ten. Cousin Six and Cousin Twelve are worthy of careful cultivation."

"After all, on the imperial concubine's side, although King Qin is mediocre, he has a reputation of pure filial piety. Not to mention how useful this reputation is outside, at least His Majesty likes it very much."

"Your Majesty likes it. Even if the King of Qin can't become a prince, His Majesty can listen to his advice in many cases."

"Even if His Majesty thinks something is wrong, sometimes, in order to save face for the King of Qin, he will have to compromise!"

"It goes without saying that Princess Zhaoqing is favored."

"There are also the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince. The former is highly valued by the Yin family. If it weren't for him, Yin Qu would not be so devoted to supporting the noble concubine! The Seventh Prince himself is also loved by His Majesty everywhere."

"Although the Ninth Prince is lazy in the rumors, it can be seen from His Majesty's personal discipline that His Majesty still attaches great importance to this prince."

"Otherwise, if the Second Prince and his ilk do this, do you think His Majesty will care about it?"

"Not to mention the King Jin who is below. With the fact that the imperial concubine gave birth to a son, His Majesty will never ignore it."

"Compared to this, we only have a tenth cousin who has a little status in front of His Majesty. Auntie, it's hard to support yourself!"

The queen said a little irritably: "Why doesn't this palace know this truth? It's just that the twelve natures are weak, Xiao Liu...how could you think of Xiao Liu?"

"Auntie, how old is Twelve Cousin? Temperament can be changed." Gu Jue sighed and said, "Besides, there is no perfect thing in this world, and there is no perfect person. Twelve Cousin's temperament can be said It’s weakness, but it can also be said to be benevolent, isn’t it? Look at the King of Qin in Xuanqing Palace, according to us, he is nothing but a prince! But the noble concubine is smart, and we didn’t think much of it at the time when he publicized his filial piety. After all these years, no matter who mentions King Qin, no matter how he thinks that he doesn’t learn well, he still has the advantage of filial piety, which makes people feel that there is still something to be desired, isn’t it?”

"At that time, we would spread the benevolence of the twelve cousin everywhere...Who would say he is cowardly now?"

Seeing that the queen's face was changing, I was afraid that the aunt would not be able to keep her face, so she hurriedly said to the sixth prince, "The sixth prince doesn't say anything else, because of his relationship with Concubine An and the loving mother, the empress dowager, do you think the benevolent empress dowager will support it?" Him one or two? The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is all right, there are His Majesty protecting her left and right. Concubine An is still empty under her knees!"
