Chapter 120: Xie Wuzheng Returns to Court

After Princess Yi learned that Wei Shi had rejected the Seventh Prince, she couldn't recover for a long time.

Then there is rage!

"What kind of thing is Webster?! If it weren't for the imminent dispute over the country, even their daughter-in-law would not be qualified to be Xiao Qi's side concubine, let alone a concubine?!" Princess Yi is a typical aristocratic daughter. She has been doing a good job of teaching that emotions are invisible over the years.

Except for the gaffe when my sister Yin Jie passed away in dystocia, I have never been so excited for many years, and slapped the young couple in front of me loudly, "They dare to refuse... What are they...they... "

"Calm down first." King Yi who rushed over after hearing the news comforted him, "The news was sent by the noble concubine, how do you know that Webster really refused?"

Princess Yi was taken aback when she heard the words, but she didn't continue to be furious, she said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

"The noble concubine has a deep mind and many wrists." Yi Wang said, "If she doesn't approve of Xiao Qi's marriage to Wei Shi's daughter, how can Wei Shi have the room to agree?"

"But the imperial concubine is not stupid. She will rely on my father." Princess Yi frowned. Although she, Yin Qu's father and daughter, and the imperial concubine have been working together happily over the years, she is also very clear in her heart. Getting along mainly depends on the basis of each other's needs to maintain friendship.

In fact, Yun Fenghuang is not a good stubble.

They, the Yin family, are not purely good-hearted people either.

It is not impossible to say that the noble concubine has disagreements with Yin's father and daughter in the marriage of the seventh prince.

The problem is that the imperial concubine is also not a master who doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons.

The Seventh Prince's marriage to a noble daughter may be able to win some help, but how can it compare to the importance that Yin's father and daughter attach to the Seventh Prince?

For an in-law who doesn't know whether he is willing to work hard at the critical moment, how can it be worthwhile to be separated from the Yin family?

Concubine Yi pondered for a while, and she still felt that the noble concubine should have done nothing, "Xiaoqi's marriage was agreed earlier, and I asked my father to check it out. Even if His Royal Highness Sui'an's son-in-law is about to return, can the Xie brothers and sisters Can you still get away from my Yin family's help? I don't really believe that the imperial concubine will turn against us because of this bone."

King Yi waved his hand to make the left and right people retreat, and then said: "Although the imperial concubine has several imperial heirs, there are also many princes under the empress's knees. In terms of relying on the marriage of the imperial heirs to win over in-laws, the imperial concubine is of course a bit weak at present. The advantage is limited, but the queen's righteousness may not be wiped out by such a small advantage. You also know the character of the noble concubine, and it's not that you can't do unscrupulous things. You still have to guard against it!"

"You are right." Princess Yi was silent for a moment, but she nodded, Yun Fenghuang is not a person who follows the rules, to be precise, she has not done a few things that follow the rules.

According to common sense, she shouldn't have a grudge with Yin's father and daughter because of the Seventh Prince's marriage, but...

Who knows if she will do the opposite?

"Then who is the concubine looking at?" Princess Yi pondered for a while, then asked her husband, "Could it be Meng Posuo?"

King Yi said slowly: "I don't know. It's best for us to ask someone to find out the reason for Wei Shi's refusal."

The result of their inquiry has nothing to do with the imperial concubine, but Webster himself rejected the imperial concubine's temptation.

This time, Yi Wang and his wife were very calm, but they were aware of Yun Fenghuang's worry: "Wei's background is not deep, so Wei Xiyan said that she is one of the top three talented women in the imperial capital, but how can she be talented and learned for a mere woman? After all, it is insignificant, and there is really no reason to refuse the prince under the imperial concubine's knee... Not only did they refuse, but their attitude was very firm, leaving no room for mediation, who gave them the confidence?"

Princess Yi even came up with an absurd idea: "There is no one in the harem. Could it be that they moved their family to the Imperial Capital in the past two years, and they don't know the temper of the imperial concubine?"

Concubine Min Gui has restrained a lot in the past two years, and she has become more and more like a loving mother.

In the eyes of the younger generation, or those who have only moved to the Imperial Capital in recent years, this imperial concubine is often considered virtuous and generous.

Only those who watched Yun Fenghuang walking all the way could still remember the noble concubine's methods.

"How is this possible?" Yi Wang said hesitantly, "There is no one in Wei's harem, but Wei Changkong has been staying in the imperial capital for these years, so there are still countless? Besides, what the imperial concubine did is not the same as in the past few years." For hundreds of years, Wei Shi has Wei Changkong, so he won't fail to inquire about those things, so how dare he despise the imperial concubine?"

After a pause, he said slowly, "Please ask father-in-law to find out what's going on in the temple recently."

As a vassal king, or a vassal king of the near branch, and was proposed to be adopted by Emperor Xiaozong, Gong Xiangxiao seemed to have a high status, but in fact, he was not as comfortable as any official in matters related to the temple.

But dare not act without authorization.

Yin Qu was furious when he heard the news, and it was Princess Yi who persuaded her again and again, especially saying: "Nowadays, not many people know about this matter, so let's forget about it. If my father makes a big fuss, everyone will know that Xiao Qi was disgusted by Webster, and spread the word." , wouldn’t it make that concubine become famous by stepping on Xiao Qi?!”

In particular, Wei Xiyan is not an ordinary girl in a boudoir, but one of the three talented women in the imperial capital, and she walks the path of aloofness and self-promise.

If you can add a deed of Gao Jie politely rejecting the prince, you will become famous in one battle. It can be said that in the blink of an eye, you can step down the two talented companions who come from high families, and become the undisputed number one talented woman in the imperial capital... What about Princess Yi? Maybe give this girl who rejected her nephew such a good chance?

Even though Wei Xiyan was not the one who refused, but Wei Shi, Princess Yi already held a grudge.

Yin Qu was shocked by what the youngest daughter said, but she was thoughtful, and forcibly endured it, and said: "I will send someone to inquire... It's just that Webster dared to underestimate Xiaoqi, which one can't bear?" ! We always have to reciprocate one or two!"

When Yin's father and daughter were discussing how to help the seventh prince deal with the uninterested Wei Shi, Xie Wuzheng arrived in the imperial capital in a hurry.

Hearing the news, the noble concubine was overjoyed and sent Chen Jing to greet her at the gate of the city.

King Qin is restless, and upon hearing the news, he excused that Xie Li, one of his companions, missed his uncle, and pestered Yun Fenghuang to allow him to take people out of the city to meet his uncle.

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he remembered that Xie Fuwang was also Xie Wuzheng's nephew, and expressed that he would also go with him.

The two moved, and of course the Ninth Prince was unwilling to lag behind.

Upon hearing the news, King Jin clamored to be together...

In the end, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help them to make a fuss, and after reporting to Chunjia, he released the four princes to welcome them together.

As for the matter of Xie Wuzheng's return to court, even if someone paid attention to it, there are still more important matters that need to be paid attention to.

All of a sudden, it seems that this son-in-law is extremely important.

The queen couldn't help but go to the Empress Dowager, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and King Yi to remind her: "It's okay for your highness to go out to welcome the elders, but in these years, the Yiwang and his wife have never seen the princes so attentive. .”

The father is more important than the mother. As a relative of the father's family of the princes, King Yi has served as a companion to Chunjia. The elders who have been with each other for many years, in terms of status, status and affection, should be compared to Yun Fenghuang, the mother's brother Xie Wuzheng What matters is. But Qin Wang and other four princes' actions obviously vetoed this point, but they were more enthusiastic towards Xie Wuzheng than they were towards Yi Wang.

The Empress Dowager listened, with a calm expression, and said: "The children are young, so it's okay to escape a bit. The emperor didn't say anything, where did all the nonsense come from?"

The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is still in a state of desperation about Jiahe's affairs, and has no time to pay attention to it.

As for King Yi himself, there was an expression of boredom between his brows: "Anyone who chews their tongue will be killed!"

He doesn't want to have anything to do with the imperial concubine at all, anything!

...So the turmoil dissipated before it got up at all. The empress was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only listen to the people below with a sullen face and continue to tell the whole story of Xie Wuzheng's entry into Beijing: "...at this moment, the four highnesses are accompanying you. After Xie Wuzheng went back to the Eldest Princess Mansion, Her Highness the Eldest Princess brought two young ladies out to greet her, and they were talking in the front hall, saying that they were very happy."

"Xie Wuzheng brought some things to your highnesses, among which is an ancient book for His Highness the Seventh Prince, which is very rare, and His Highness the Seventh Prince likes it very much."

"The news has reached the Yin family."

"Yin Shangshu is said to have laughed when he heard it."

In the past two years, everyone knew that the quickest way to please Yin Qu was to make a fuss about the Seventh Prince.

As long as the Seventh Prince is well coaxed, even if he is rude to Yin Qu himself, Yin Qu will think it is a good thing.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about these things. Yin Qu and the imperial concubine have been hooking up for a long time. It doesn't matter if the relationship is better now." Seeing that the queen's face is not good, the servant said, "There is a news recently that I don't know whether it is true or not. If it is true Yes, but interesting."

Seeing the queen looking over, the waiter said: "The Yin family and the imperial concubine have made some plans to propose marriage to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and the Wei family's daughter. She is one of the three talented women in the imperial capital. In the end, Wei Shi has no room for change." refused!"

The queen was slightly stunned, and said: "The Seventh Prince and the others all look down on them, who are they looking at?"

"My maidservant doesn't know." The waiter said, "But now the Yin family's father, daughter and noble concubine seem to be very angry."

Who can not be angry?

Gu Zhen thought in her heart, if she proposes marriage to her prince but is rejected, she will be angry too!

This is because Zhonggong has been suppressed in the past two years, and he has long been used to all kinds of nails.

What's more, how many years has the noble concubine been flamboyant?

It was also because Yun Fenghuang was pregnant recently, and she rushed Xincheng out of the court and Xie Wuzheng back, probably because she was entangled in all kinds of things and didn't care about it.

Otherwise, Webster's Thunderbolt would have been used long ago.

only……

Although Webster's family background is not too deep, because of Wei Changkong, it has always attracted the attention of the world.

Wei Changkong has a very high reputation among scholars.

If the imperial concubine angered them because of her refusal to marry and did something...

The queen couldn't help squinting her eyes, and asked someone: "Go and find out about Webster's recent situation."

She finally understood that it was useless to catch Yun Fenghuang in the court.

Firstly, the noble concubine is cunning, so she won't leave many loopholes for others to plot against; secondly, the noble concubine is favored, even if she is clearly wrong many times, the emperor can pretend not to see it.

So if you want to bring down Yunfenghuang, you still have to work hard at her weak points, such as outside the palace.

Especially Wei Changkong, who has considerable influence, has always had a bad impression of noble concubines.

After all, these people are the most respectful of rules, and in their eyes, the queen must be obedient, docile and chaste, and Yun Fenghuang's series of operations since entering the palace have not been contrary to them.

Of course, what made them envy and hate the most was the concubine's dedication to her natal family after she was favored.

If Xie Wuzheng didn't have such a powerful younger sister, would he be able to get into the top armor?

Not to mention being the Lord and rising to the top, in just a few years, the young son of a border country gentry has already entered the imperial court...

If, like Wei Changkong, he came out with six consecutive imperial examination results, everyone would be more convinced.

However, Xie Wuzheng...his talent, learning, means and background are not worthy of his current status.

Relying on the younger sister in the early stage, and then relying on the princess wife... Of course, without the imperial concubine sister, there will be no princess wife.

Therefore, many people in the scholar community don't say anything, but they hate Yun Fenghuang in their hearts.

After all, to put it mildly, Yun Fenghuang's move has destroyed the fairness among scholars; to put it more practically: why is this kind of good deed not shared by them? ? ?

Therefore, as long as the noble concubine was caught taking private revenge on Webster, the scholars would definitely not let it go.

Chunjia's favoritism?

Yes, Chunjia will definitely favor his darling... But there are so many scholars in the country, even if the emperor is not a soft-hearted master, can he kill him?

What's more, not all of these scholars hold great power, but if the emperor does something to these people in order to protect the imperial concubine, the courtiers in court will inevitably be aroused with great hostility against the imperial concubine.

By the time……

Well, the only problem is that the imperial concubine is cunning, and she must be aware of this, so she might hold back her anger?

No, no, the imperial concubine is not one to swallow her anger.

That……

Yin?

Gu Zhen's eyes darkened.

Yes, if there was no Yin family, the imperial concubine would not easily let Wei Shi go, no matter it was out of domineering nature or to frighten everyone, so Gu Shi would be given a chance.

But the Seventh Prince is not only Yun Fenghuang's adopted son, but also the highly valued younger generation of Yin's father and daughter...

If the Yin family's father and daughter took action, the identities of these two were different from Yun Fenghuang's, but they might not arouse great resentment among the scholars.

In particular, Yin Qu himself has outstanding talents and learning, and his prestige among scholars is not low...

"Go to someone's family and say, if the imperial concubine can't deal with it for the time being, first think of a way to deal with Yin Qu." The queen pondered, and ordered, "If Yin Qu is not eliminated, it is really a serious problem for us to cooperate with the imperial concubine!"

Just thinking that because of successive years of defeats in the palace fights, her right to speak at home has been further reduced, and even, the old master Gu asked her to listen to Gu Jue's advice last time, Gu Zhen felt agitated for a while.

Gathering his mind, he said again, "Let Jue'er come here."
