Chapter 25 Pleasant

Yun Fenghuang's predictions were correct, the next day the old lady of the Gu family begged to see Chunjia, and said that she had no way to plead guilty for the goddaughter, saying that Gu Zhen disturbed the balance of the harem without knowing how serious it was, and caused Chunjia trouble.

Chunjia's eyes were already wooing them, so of course it was impossible to blame them, but instead she said a lot of comforting words, and said that the queen is very virtuous and he is very satisfied... At this time, the old man changed the subject and told Gu Zhen's grievances, said that Gu Zhen was not a person who would cause trouble, but the reason for this was because he was deeply concerned about the illness of the King of Chu.

The point is, on the eve of the illness, the King of Chu sent him and the third prince to the noble concubine for a while because the queen went to Shanyuan Temple to serve the empress dowager.

Later, the noble concubine offered to go to Shanyuan Temple, and changed the queen back, and within two days, the king of Chu died.

The queen was suspicious but had no evidence, so she got angry and immediately took over the royal power of the three concubines including the noble concubine after she recovered.

"I have already asked my daughter-in-law to persuade the empress. His Royal Highness Chu is not only the prince of the empress alone, but also the flesh and blood of his majesty. If the imperial concubine is indeed obstructing it, how could your majesty not notice it, and how could he let the imperial concubine go? What about it?" Old Master Gu said very sincerely, "The empress is really too worried! Speaking of it, it is also a matter of the three corpses, which caused the empress to suffer from the root cause of the disease. Since then, she has been worried about encountering similar situations. The empress has no biological flesh and blood. It is also impossible to have biological flesh and blood in this life, so even if the prince is adopted, he will treat it as his own."

"As the saying goes, sickness lies in the child's body and pain lies in the mother's heart."

"The empress loves the two princes from the bottom of her heart, and she also loves all the heirs in the palace."

"In the eyes of the empress, the matter this time was not intended to cause trouble for His Majesty, but for the safety of the emperor's heirs!"

"I know." Chunjia said gently, "The Gu family has worked hard and made great achievements, and the daughter is strict. The queen entered the palace when I was married. She has always been dignified and reserved, and has the demeanor of a mother. This time, I also I didn't say anything, but I knew that the queen was not a person who would mess around. It was just that the king of Chu recovered from his illness not long ago, and the queen took care of her for a long time. I often visited Woxia Tower, and I was deeply moved. Now the queen is better , and immediately took over the power, I couldn't help worrying about whether the queen would be able to bear it."

"I'm just afraid that the queen will misunderstand, so I can't say more."

"I am very relieved that the old man can mediate from this."

"As for the palace, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, and all palace affairs should be decided by the queen."

"In the final analysis, the imperial concubine and the others are just helping the queen."

"The queen's status is precious, and so are the children under her knees. How can I not take care of her?"

Sending off the old man so politely, Chunjia frowned and thought for a while, then ordered Yanyin to take some things from the inner storehouse and send them to Gu's family as a comfort.

Of course the queen also has a copy.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion also send some things, just be quiet, don't let the outside see."

When Yun Fenghuang received the items, he left the errand servant for tea, and asked him who got them?

Because Yan Yin didn't have any special instructions, the little servant said bluntly: "Today, old Mrs. Gu came into the palace to greet His Majesty. When he arrived at Xingxin Hall, he knelt down and said that the Gu family was not strict with the daughters. These days, the queen empress is causing chaos in the palace Yes. Later, the old man talked with His Majesty alone for a while, and after the old man left, His Majesty ordered rewards for the Gu family and the empress. Then, he arranged a copy for the empress..."

The voice lowered, "Your Majesty said, the empress is here, the movement is quieter. However, let me take the best ones."

"Your Majesty's intentions, I understand." Yun Fenghuang said gently, "Don't worry, I will tell them to shut up later, and they are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense."

After seeing off the little servant in this way, she squinted her eyes and concentrated for a moment, then asked someone to notify her own people in the palace to be more vigilant, and not to do anything to make the queen catch her in the near future, so as not to offend Chunjia. Mildew.

"You said, in this fight between the empress and the imperial concubine, who will lose and who will win? Why can't I understand?" In this situation, Liu Gong couldn't help whispering, "It is said that the empress voluntarily backed down, and the natal old man would personally enter the palace to plead guilty Now, it can be seen that the empress is no match for the emperor's favor. But now the empress has ordered not to provoke the empress, what?"

"It doesn't matter so much, anyway, just listen to what the boss said. The empress and the imperial concubine, who can you offend?"

"It's true, even if the empress is more talkative... After all, where is the status, who would dare to disobey except the empress of the imperial concubine?"

As they discussed like this, some floating thoughts disappeared.

After all, in such a large palace, no one but a noble concubine dared to openly oppose the queen.

Even Concubine Shu and Concubine De are the ones who lost their face in the palace after following the concubine.

They are not willing to let them have trouble with the queen alone.

Now that the imperial concubine has spoken, who dares to provoke?

So Liu Gong calmed down as if nothing had happened.

The empress dowager sighed in private: "I thought that for helping Minghui to reprimand the empress like that, the empress would hold a grudge and anger the concubine more and more. Since then, the empress and concubine have been at odds, and the harem is not peaceful. As a result, the successor is so lifeless. , what a disappointment!"

Having said that, her eyes were calm, because she didn't expect Gu Zhen to cause any serious disturbance in the palace.

Gu Zhen is not the type to make trouble.

In contrast, Mrs. Zhao Wubo, who entered the palace again, was also very disappointed, but she was not disappointed by Gu Zhen, but by Yun Fenghuang: "Your grandfather and uncle still expect the concubine to get overjoyed and show off when she hears that our family has retreated." She appeared to be arrogant. In the end, she held back her words, and even those concubines who openly took refuge in her were restrained from making trouble... Your Majesty, this is the formidable enemy. With her background, she can have today's , How is the sky soaring? I haven't lost my head yet, and I know how to advance and retreat, so it's no wonder that His Majesty likes it."

Gu Zhen said sullenly: "It is generally accepted that a noble concubine is favored, so mother should not mention it. By the way, how is the investigation of the Xingningbo Mansion?"

Mentioning this, Mrs. Zhao Wubo's face was not very good-looking, and she said: "Their family has indeed entered the palace quite frequently recently, and they often enter the palace to have an audience under the banner of serving the empress dowager."

After a pause, "However, according to the information our family inquired, I didn't hear that the loving mother Empress Dowager wanted you to adopt Concubine Yuan Xian's heir, but she wanted to point out Princess Kunze to Yuan's son."

"Princess Kunze?" Gu Zhen was a little surprised, because when Yun Fenghuang sent someone to say that the candidate for the husband-in-law of Princess Kunze didn't need them to worry about, she didn't mention the details, and she didn't know the Queen Mother Yuan's plan. Can't help but be surprised, "This princess was brought up by the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. The Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the loving Empress Dowager have always been a little bit out of tune. I'm afraid she won't?"

Mrs. Zhao Wubo said: "Isn't it? I don't know how those two will argue. But if it's just about this matter, it has nothing to do with our family. However, after your grandfather learned about this matter, he thought about it for a while and felt that The loving mother empress dowager probably wouldn't think of the idea of ​​attacking Princess Kunze for no reason. If she wanted Kunze princess to marry Yuan's son early in the morning, even if the loving mother empress did not try to get close to the holy mother empress dowager, at least she would often Did you call the princess to get closer? After all, she is the legitimate aunt of the princess, so it's only natural to feel sorry for the princess."

But Empress Dowager Yuan usually ignored this concubine as if she had no such person as Princess Kunze at all.

Even similar to Chunjia's time, he paid more attention to the three eldest princesses of Minghui than to Kunze.

In this situation, he suddenly wanted to decide the marriage for this concubine, or for his nephews, and the old man Gu came to the same conclusion as Chen Jing, "I'm afraid the Xingning uncle's mansion did say something in front of the loving mother, the empress dowager." So much so that the loving mother Empress Dowager moved this idea."

Gu Zhen couldn't help but said: "What else can I say? Although Uncle Xingning's house was His Majesty's natal family when he was Fuyang King, he was not close to His Majesty, and he did a few foolish things in the middle, so that he hasn't heard of it until now. Two people who are highly valued by the court. Even Concubine An, who was a childhood sweetheart with His Majesty, fell out of favor because of the noble concubine's entry into the palace... Now that the loving mother and empress dowager are here, His Majesty still has some affection for them. When the loving mother and empress dowager are gone, they What else can I do? Now looking for the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, besides my own future, what else can I talk about?"

She snorted coldly, "With such a future in people's hearts, what could be more comfortable than continuing to be the emperor's wife?"

"That's what you say, but who knows that it's not someone else's plan?" Mrs. Zhao Wu shook her head and said, "Your grandfather said that the empress dowager's position in His Majesty's heart is very special and should not be easily offended. This matter He will put it in his heart and slowly search for the root cause, if it is really the Xingning uncle's mansion who is confused, it's fine, if not, it's the noble concubine who is scheming, then..."

She sneered and said, "Didn't you always worry that His Majesty would no longer need our family in the future, would cross rivers and tear down bridges, and even bring your children under your knees? In fact, it is reasonable to say that His Majesty would not do this unless there is a favor. The concubine urged him to abolish the establishment because of selfishness, looking at the current Six Palaces, the most likely person to do so is the noble concubine. This is a ready-made opportunity to take advantage of the noble concubine!"

"If the noble concubine did it, how could she be unprepared?" Gu Zhen didn't have much hope for the situation, and sighed, "Don't be another trap then?"

Mrs. Zhao Wubo paused, and said: "The family will pay attention to it, and won't let her fool it."

I didn’t want to talk about it any more, I just asked Gu Zhen about the situation in the past two days, and when he learned that nothing had happened, he said, “I’m afraid His Majesty will have something to say about the marriage of His Royal Highness Princess Minghui in the near future. Excuse me, if not, you can just leave the matter to the noble concubine to deal with it. You don’t need to hold this kind of hot potato in your hands. Doesn’t Ming Hui think that the noble concubine is better than you? Then let her feel the important things in her life. The feeling of being in the hands of the imperial concubine."

Gu Zhen also thought so, so after asking Chunjia for instructions, she not only handed over the task of finding Minghui's son-in-law to Yunfenghuang, but also asked Yunfenghuang to ask Minghui about her preferences in front of her.

So after a few days, Princess Minghui came to Woxia Tower again.

When she came in, her complexion was not very good-looking, Gu Zhen whispered softly and asked for warmth, while gloating in his heart, he said to Ben Gong, I want to see how you will be willing to Concubine Min, who is more real than Ben Gong ?

As for Yun Fenghuang, he was almost forced to death at the court meeting that day, so what good countermeasures can he have at this moment?

Yun Fenghuang knew what the empress was thinking, so he didn't make a sound from the beginning, and after the empress finished the greetings, he explained the purpose of inviting the imperial concubine and Minghui over today, which was to revisit Minghui's lifelong events and find out what kind of consort Minghui likes ... After saying this, Princess Minghui's not-so-good face over there became more and more gloomy, and before she finished speaking, she interrupted sharply: "Last time, I said that you and the emperor's brother If you don’t want to leave me, you still don’t admit it, this time even Xiao Yun’s family has come out to help sit in the town, how dare you lie and say that you don’t think Bengong is an eyesore in this palace?!”

"Your Highness misunderstood." Yun Fenghuang squinted at the Queen, took over the conversation unhurriedly, and said, "Your Highness is filial and unwilling to surrender. Your Majesty, the Empress, and the concubines of this palace are too late to respect you." , how could it be possible for His Highness to be an eyesore? After all, in the past dynasties, it is rare to see such a pure and filial golden branch and jade leaf as His Highness, let alone a daughter-in-law. His Highness's move is a testament to His Majesty's enlightenment! It's just that His Highness is Huaxin after all, His Majesty is also good, the Queen No matter your empress, even I feel pity for it!"

Princess Minghui was puzzled, she was dazed for a while before realizing what she meant, her complexion changed, and she said sullenly: "You!!!"

"Did I misunderstand?" Yun Fenghuang looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said slowly, "His Royal Highness has reached the age of marriage, and the two eldest princesses have already descended. Her Royal Highness Yun'an is still pregnant. Your Highness But she insisted on refusing to leave the palace. Apart from being filial to the Empress Dowager, or remembering the late emperor, what other reasons could there be? Among the filial daughters throughout the ages, there are not none who never marry to serve the elders or keep filial piety for their ancestors. This Palace understands Your Highness, Your Highness does not need to say too much, the person I respect the most is a pure and filial person, Your Highness's actions, this Palace believes that it is enough to compete with..."

"Shut up!" Princess Minghui became more and more wrong the more she heard it. If she continued to speak like this, wouldn't this vicious imperial concubine want to confirm on the spot the "fact" that she would never marry for the sake of filial piety?

The country governs the world with filial piety, and even the emperor pays attention to filial piety.

Not to mention that Minghui's special treatment comes from the emperor's daughter of the first emperor Xiaozong!

If Yun Fenghuang's publicity is so uproarious that everyone believes that Minghui has decided to spend a lifetime of chastity as a filial piety, then Minghui will either bite the bullet and accept the banner of this "big filial daughter" and die alone, or accept the decline and be punished by various This kind of discussion and even the ending of contempt, this...

Minghui said decisively, "I just don't want to descend, so I just want to stay in the palace to make things difficult for you! How are you doing?!"

The superior, Gu Zhen, drank his tea calmly, feeling that the scene in front of him was really pleasing to the eye.
