Chapter 86 Trouble

Yun Fenghuang said sadly: "The concubine also can't figure it out. If Gu Jue is beautiful and virtuous, the concubine will recognize it too! But that's the way she is put in the group of noble girls! No! The concubine deliberately buried her, but in terms of talent, appearance and temperament, she couldn't say it was bad, but how could she be able to get out of the crowd to the point where the King of Qin was thinking about it? Don't talk about anything else, let's just say how beautiful Zhaoqing is. Qing grew up together, so why shouldn't his vision fall in love with Gu Jue?"

Chunjia mused, thinking quickly whether this matter is right or not, and what are the pros and cons of whether it is right or not?

In the end, before she could come up with a result, she heard the noble concubine continue to say: "Besides, who doesn't know that the queen mother raised Gu Jing and Gu Jue in the palace for the sake of the ten princes under her knees? King Qin is the eldest brother of the ten princes, why? Can you snatch a woman from your younger brother? Do you know what King Qin said? He said that everyone knows that the tenth prince still has a little love for Gu Jing, but he is very indifferent to Gu Jue. If so, why can't he like Gu Jue?"

When the tenth prince was mentioned, Chunjia's expression turned pale.

Just as Yun Fenghuang estimated, he is not someone who can't afford to have children.

Back when he was not in charge, many heirs in the harem didn't even have a chance to land, and I didn't see how sad he was... After going through a lot of things, he became bearish.

But as the son of heaven, it is hard for Chunjia not to have a view that the emperor's heir who is no longer valued by him is also the emperor's heir.

Why fight over a Gu Jue?

"Don't worry, Ah Huang, I will deal with this matter." The emperor thought for a moment, comforted the noble concubine, promised to help resolve the matter, and then sent Yun Fenghuang away.

He ordered someone to pass the queen to the front, and asked straight to the point: "Then Gu Jue, are you planning to promise Xiao Shi?"

The queen was startled when she heard the words, and said: "It's just to keep it in front of me, I haven't made up my mind yet... Why does Your Majesty suddenly care about this child?"

Gu Zhen said this mainly because she was worried that once she admitted, the emperor would follow suit. The key point is that she did not intend to make this niece a concubine.

The position of the first wife of the Tenth Prince must be reserved for noble daughters from other families.

You can't ask your niece to take it.

Don't let Gu Jue change from a concubine to a concubine just because of Chunjia's golden words, and just waste a chance to win over a high family.

At this moment, I was trying to figure out the sacred meaning in my heart, and I heard the emperor say: "Nowadays, it is no different from before. When the imperial concubine's nieces and daughters come to accompany her in the palace, the children are either not born, or they are still young, so it's fine. But now, King Qin They are all thirteen, and the girls are about the same age. Even if they are not in the same house, after all the years, the number of times they meet is more than outside. It is the age of vigorous blood, how can you not have some ideas? You niece, I see It's better to arrange it as soon as possible. If you don't plan to give it to the royal family, then you can simply send it back. If you really like girls in front of you, look at the younger princesses in the palace, and you can choose one to keep by your side."

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly mention this?" Gu Zhen said with her heart skipping a beat, "But what did Jue Er do wrong?"

Chunjia said indifferently: "It may not have anything to do with that child, but after all the princes are our children, right?"

The queen tried a few more words, and Chun Jia revealed a little tone to her: "The King of Qin seems to be very concerned about Gu Jue, but I know that you took this child into the palace for Xiao Shi. The concubine is sensible, just came to say Well, I thought, what the imperial concubine said is also reasonable, and the title should be settled early, so that the king of Qin will not continue to worry about it, and in the future there will be quarrels with Xiao Shi because of this, and people will know the joke."

"This bitch is talking nonsense!" Gu Zhen couldn't help being furious when he heard this, and said without thinking, "When did the King of Qin pay attention to Jue'er!? This must be because the bitch didn't like Jue'er! He deliberately targeted Jue'er!"

The emperor's face suddenly sank when he heard this: "Enough! You are the empress of the royal family, how can you speak so vulgarly?! Even though the imperial concubine was a little anxious, when has she ever been rude to you?! How decent is it for you to speak of a majestic concubine like this!"

Gu Zhen didn't even have the strength to argue with him that the imperial concubine was not a matter of "temper-temper", so he just sneered and said: "Your Majesty, since entering the palace, Jing'er and Jue'er have followed her as a concubine and rarely go anywhere else. The King of Qin is close to the noble concubine, and stays far away from the concubine. Except for the New Year's Day, he does not go to the concubine at all. The chances for him and Jing'er Jue'er to meet are nothing more than occasions such as palace banquets. At that time, the daughter of the foreign minister will also Entering the palace. Therefore, even though Jue'er was in the palace, she never increased her relationship with the King of Qin! As for the King of Qin's attention to Jue'er, it is even more nonsense! There are many people in the palace. The report is coming!"

"So how can it be the turn of the noble concubine to come to you in a hurry and gossip?"

"It's impossible for a concubine to agree!"

"But in these years, when did such a word spread in the palace!"

"It's clear that it's not enough for the imperial concubine to harm Jing'er, she must continue to persecute Jue'er! At the beginning, she raised all three nieces in the palace, and the concubine never said anything! Now Jing'er and Jue'er live in the palace It's only been a few days, and she's been doing such a murderous thing, so what if I call her a 'bad maid'?"

"I've never seen her so cruel and merciless!"

Chun Jia said coldly: "The deputy manager in front of you was confused by others back then, and you didn't realize it until the other party bit back in public. You are so confused and don't know about Qin Wang and Gu Jue, what's so strange? Besides, Gu Jingzhi Die, who did it, you don’t know in your mind? She was kicked out, so she was wronged?! You keep saying that you love the King of Chu, how many wrongs the King of Chu has suffered over the years, do you want me to count you one by one? Calculate?"

"..." Gu Zhen's face was pale, and the deputy manager's betrayal without knowing it was a great blow to her.

The Emperor Piansheng mentioned it from time to time, and every time he favored the imperial concubine, he would say a few words intentionally or unintentionally, so that she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.

The most important thing is that after this example was cited, she really had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty still remembers the King of Chu?" Gu Zhen was sad for a moment, and couldn't help asking rhetorically, "I thought Your Majesty had forgotten about this son long ago!"

When the king of Chu was safe, the emperor loved the first son-in-law quite a lot.

At that time, there were also some high hopes.

But after King Chu's accident, the emperor only cherished it briefly for a few days, and then seldom paid attention to it.

Occasionally, when he went to Yanfu Palace, the king of Chu took the initiative to lean on him. Although his attitude was still gentle and compassionate, he would find excuses to take him away after a while, because he didn't want to spend time on this useless son. .

Later, after having the ten princes and other heirs, Chunjia became more and more lazy to show affection to the King of Chu.

Counting it, the emperor has not seen the king of Chu face to face for many years...

The queen sneered and said, "The king of Chu is still talking about his father, but he doesn't know, does his father still remember his appearance?"

But these words can't hurt Chunjia at all, and the emperor can even blame him: "I have deliberately neglected the King of Chu all these years, and the little ten you raised can't tolerate him! If I love that child a little bit, wouldn't the child die Until now?!"

The queen was almost pissed off. What the emperor said meant beyond words, that the king of Chu is still alive, so it was his grace!

"Do you really think I don't know what Xiao Shi is doing in private?" Chunjia didn't give her a chance to continue, and said coldly, "That's your son-in-law, if I neglect him, no one will neglect him! In the end, what happened to this child who was doted on by you? You still have the nerve to tell me about the King of Chu! If the King of Chu regains his sanity, I don’t know what he will think of you, the queen mother who was once full of trust and dependence!"

"Since Your Majesty hates Xiao Shi so much, why give him a chance?" Gu Zhen couldn't help crying, "Just appoint the prince of Xuanqing Palace as the crown prince, and give the concubine, mother and child a happy and happy life." Okay?! It’s been so many years. Who in the court and the public still remember the late emperor? Who doesn’t know your brilliance and martial arts? It’s not a matter of you saying who will live in the East Palace?! Don’t delay any longer, okay? I’m a real concubine Enough is enough! Enough is enough!"

Chunjia looked at her coldly, and after a while said softly: "Is it over crying? Go down if you have nothing else to do."

Gu Zhen simply stepped forward to support Yu An, and looked at him straight: "Please give me a word from your Majesty: Since you don't like Xiao Shi, why..."

"I just said what Xiao Shi did, and in your eyes, I don't like Xiao Shi?" Chunjia laughed angrily, and said forcefully, "I didn't ask the bottom line at the beginning, but I just wanted to give him a chance. Now I have no plans to do anything, but you are good, and the opening is a posture that I intend to take your mother and child... What? I am still patient, but you can't tolerate me anymore?!"

He unceremoniously scolded the queen, and finally issued an order to evict the guest, "...I still have government affairs to deal with, unlike the queen who has the leisure of a noble concubine around me, you go down, don't make trouble if you have nothing to do!"

Not to mention how aggrieved Gu Zhen returned to Woxia Tower, seeing that Gu Jue was already waiting with his attendants, he didn't know how he felt for a while.

In fact, she didn't trust Gu Jue very much, mainly because before Gu Jing's accident, this niece had always behaved mediocrely.

It was hard for her to be convinced.

Furthermore, the frequent battles and defeats during the more than ten years of losing to Yun Fenghuang gave Gu Zhen endless psychological shadows, so that she couldn't believe that her young niece was enough to rival the imperial concubine.

But now she finally admitted that Gu Jue might indeed have this ability.

Otherwise, the imperial concubine would not have fabricated the fact that King Qin loved her niece, and would have gone to Chunjia to tell her in person.

"Jue'er, you're in trouble." Gathering his mind, Gu Zhen called Gu Jue to him, and told him exactly what happened just now, "...Now His Majesty's intention is to ask me to take care of your life-long event. Just make a decision so that King Qin won't worry about it. This is a big matter, I have to discuss with the family to finalize Xiao Shi's concubine as soon as possible, so that I can take care of your affairs."

After all, before the main concubine is decided, a side concubine should be chosen first. She is still a noble cousin in terms of etiquette, the queen's niece, and the value of the tenth prince in marriage must be discounted.

No matter how precious the prince is, he is not the only one waiting to marry a noble daughter.

As for a side concubine like Gu Jue, a lady with a slightly inferior status and means, who can hold her back?

Even if it can be suppressed, one has to consider whether the mother-in-law, Empress Gu, will sidestep her niece overtly or secretly?

Therefore, even though Gu Zhen appointed Gu Jue as a side concubine early in the morning, and even many people knew it in their hearts, but before the name of the side concubine was determined, at least she kept the dignity of the main concubine, showing respect for the main concubine.

If the side concubine is appointed first, who knows what Gao Men will think?

No matter how many girls there are in each family, there are only a few who can concentrate on cultivating outstanding ones.

The imperial concubine made it clear that she would not let her nieces be concubines for the prince. Based on this alone, even if Yun Fenghuang's tricks were out of the way, many people were relieved: no nieces would come into their sons' backyard , at least it means that the imperial concubine will treat the daughters-in-law relatively fairly.

In order to compete with the noble concubine, the queen would not easily let Gu Jue and the tenth prince finalize their names in advance unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Auntie, this is not the trouble of my niece alone." Gu Jue listened, his face paled slightly, and he forced himself to be calm, "The imperial concubine's move seems to be aimed at my niece, but it is actually aimed at my entire Gu family...she is I don't want to give Gu Shi any chance at all!"
