Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 65 Promise Over the Years

What do you want?

Minghui didn't know how to answer for a while, from the heart, of course she wanted revenge.

For this reason, she doesn't care about anything, her status and even her life, as long as she can get revenge successfully, she doesn't care.

The problem is that Chunjia's wings are already established, and her niece, the Ji family, was so prominent, didn't it disappear after only a few years after this pro-government?

What's more, she is a golden branch and jade leaf who has been pampered and raised without any scheming?

Intellectually, she knew very well that she would not be Chunjia's opponent at all.

The wish of avenging her dead mother may not come true in this life.

But emotionally, as the empress dowager said, let her forget all these troubles, descend to Yunxi guest according to the imperial decree, and concentrate on living her own life from now on...she can't do it.

It can only be said that Chunjia was too ruthless, if he charged Ji Sheng with other crimes, it would be fine. Minghui really couldn't do it, and he could still use his death to accuse him of revenge for Xiaozong's kindness and cruelty to orphans and widows.

However, Ji Sheng was abolished on the charge of murdering his concubine and leaving Xiaozong without an heir.

According to the current rule that fathers are more important than mothers, if Minghui dared to commit suicide for Ji Sheng, not only would people in the world not think there was anything wrong with Chunjia, but they would think her unfilial.

Think she is sorry for Xiaozong.

So Ming Hui is in great pain now, but there is nothing he can do.

She once pinned her hopes on the Empress Dowager and the Regent, but it was clear that the two put aside their previous suspicions and joined forces, but it was only a matter of letting Chunjia be wary.

There is little hope for what to do to Chunjia.

Seeing her granddaughter's bewildered look, the Empress Dowager remained silent for a while before saying, "If you really can't let go of your grievances... there is a way."

Seeing Minghui looking at her suddenly, she said slowly, "But I can't tell you now, you are too naive to be raised by Sheng'er, and Ai's family is not sure if telling you will cause the news to leak. In this way, you go down first, wait After a year, the Ai family will see your changes and decide whether to tell you or not."

"How could it be possible for the granddaughter to leak such news?" Minghui was a little unwilling, and retorted in a low voice, "It is impossible for the granddaughter to die..."

"Leaking the news may not be intentional." The Empress Dowager interrupted her, "In short, if you are sincere, Zuo Sheng'er is gone, and Chunjia can endure it for eight years in order to be in charge of the government. Can't survive for a year? Then what qualifications do you have to fight against him?"

Ming Hui fell silent for a moment, and after a while she whispered: "Yes."

After a pause, she asked tentatively, "The method you mentioned...can it really work?"

The Empress Dowager did not answer this question directly, but said: "The Ji family has indeed been too proud and contemptuous in the past two years, so that Chunjia has an opportunity to take advantage of it... But the Ji family will also learn from it."

…The conversation between the grandfather and grandson is unknown to outsiders. After hearing that the Yaoyu Palace has calmed down, Concubine De still guessed with Yun Fenghuang: "Could it be that they find that it is useless to make a fuss now, and plan to save energy and make a big fuss at the wedding? "

"How could Your Majesty give her such an opportunity?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Never mind her, anyway, the wedding date has been fixed, and when the date comes, whether she likes it or not, she will eventually decline."

The two then discussed the topic of how much makeup they put on, and Concubine De was quite envious and jealous: "Your Majesty has treated this golden branch and jade leaf with extra courtesy, how can we be stingy? My sister has almost emptied the family."

"It's just this one time." Yun Fenghuang persuaded her, "This Kunze princess who has descended after all, can't compare with the three Xiaozong's flesh and blood. After that, he will be the son and daughter under our knees, and it's still too early. "

Concubine De said: "If it were Princess Zhaoqing, my sister would be willing to search all the storerooms to add makeup to her. However, the relationship between Princess Minghui and us is not harmonious. Even if we give her a needle, my sister will feel guilty. "

"We're not trying to save face for the Eldest Princess, it's nothing more than showing Your Majesty that's all." Yun Fenghuang said to her, "If that's the case, why don't we just ask His Majesty to make it up for you later? I remember that you still have Is it time for a younger sister to discuss marriage? When the time comes, when the good things are settled, you will ask His Majesty to add makeup to your younger sister. Your Majesty has always been generous, how can you not agree?"

"Sister, that young sister..." Concubine Wen Yan immediately showed an indescribable expression, sighed a long time, and then said, "Sister, I don't know, but my sister, that young sister, is very unhappy in her marriage. Now... oh, all Don't know what to do?"

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, isn't it because your Wei family is not greedy enough? When the Empress Dowager was acting as a matchmaker, she was thinking about Uncle Dingzhao Wu's care; after the flood happened, she thought of Marquis Shou Ning, but Yin Qu quickly set her up for the second daughter. Although this experience was not publicly spread outside, but she knew it all, and it is estimated that almost everyone knew it in their hearts.

So De Concubine's younger sister doesn't talk about her own temperament, but if the Wei family is so unpredictable, who would like it?

The noble concubine showed concern on her face: "I remember you mentioned this sister when you just entered the palace. You haven't said anything about it in the past two years. You thought you had a candidate early in the morning. How could it not go well? But what's the reason?"

Concubine De was really embarrassed to say that her elders acted on the wind, so she could only say: "At first, the elders in the family gave her a good look, but because of various reasons, they shelved it. I have to make a decision, but my love is taken away... I don’t know what to do now.”

Yun Fenghuang pretended not to know: "Huh? Then when did Deng Chengzhai get married? I haven't even heard of it?"

Concubine De was startled and said, "Deng Chengzhai?"

After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that at the summer banquet, she had mentioned to the imperial concubine that she wanted to find a sister-in-law for her younger sister, and Deng Chengzhai was the one she liked the most.

"...Deng Chengzhai is now His Majesty's favorite person. The elders in the family are afraid that His Majesty will misunderstand him, so they dare not speak of him, but they did not mention it." De Fei paused, and explained, "It's about other people. Because the matter is not But I dare not say it out loud, for fear of making it look bad."

When she said this, her heart moved, she raised her eyes to look at Yun Fenghuang, and said earnestly, "But I don't know if my sister can...?"

Yun Fenghuang mentioned Deng Chengzhai just to get her to think about it. After all, Gong Xiangxiao was already engaged to Yin Nvluo, and Yin Qu was not an easy way to save money.

Don't be disappointed by Wei Shi, and think about Gu Shizi again.

So I still found another person to block the gun, and took the Wei family's daughter-in-law.

As for Deng Chengzhai's reluctance, or Chunjia's impatience in tying Deng Chengzhai and the Wei family together... It doesn't matter, it's not that the son of Uncle Zhaowu's family can't marry a noble daughter. Gu's son, of course, greatly increased their face.

Later, because of the flood, the use of troops against Wei He was put on hold, and the Wei family turned to Shou Ninghou. I believe that the Gu family was already a little unhappy.

Adding Deng Chengzhai, I don't believe that Mrs. Gu will consider marrying Mrs. Wei again...

Although doing so would be very detrimental to Concubine De's younger sister, but the Wei family did it all by themselves, and Yun Fenghuang is not a direct sister, so there's no need to be considerate of her, right?

"Deng Chengzhai is one of His Majesty's companions. It seems that he is among the companions, and he is also the one closest to His Majesty." Seeing Concubine De's surprised expression, she calmly declined, "Your family doesn't care about his marriage. Dare I mention it, how can I talk about it? After all, Grandmother Ling is the eldest princess."

"My sister's grandmother said she was the eldest princess, but she didn't get along with His Majesty very much. How can her relationship be as good as my sister's dignity in front of His Majesty?" Concubine De said quickly, "Besides, I just ask my sister to mention it, regardless of whether Your Majesty Promise, my sister and the whole family will miss her well!"

Wei Shi has learned the lesson of being on the wrong team back then, and his behavior in the past two years has been a bit of betting everywhere and acting on camera.

Deng Chengzhai, as Chunjia's companion, and a companion who plans to govern together, is young and handsome, and he is very attractive. Even if the official position is not very high now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if there is no accident, this person may not be named a marquis in the future. characters.

Focusing on this point, countless seniors are willing to give him carefully cultivated daughters.

It's just that Deng Chengzhai is Cui Wan's nephew. There are several young ladies in the Cui clan who are waiting to be married. People probably want to be pure ministers, and they may not be willing to marry a noble girl, so they are disappointed, so they don't mention it anymore.

Wei felt that although her daughter was outstanding, she was not a witch who would harm the country, she might not have the ability to make Deng Chengzhai risk her life for her, so after hearing the news, she let it go.

Now that Yun Fenghuang mentioned it, Concubine De just remembered that her youngest sister is indeed not a concubine who will harm the country, but the elder sister of the noble concubine in front of her has the aptitude to charm the emperor and disrupt the world.

Maybe if the imperial concubine is willing to help...

Can Deng Chengzhai really become his brother-in-law?

Concubine De quickly figured in her heart that the reason why Deng Chengzhai refused to marry a noble girl was simply because he had an old relationship with the emperor, and he was also a confidant who the emperor could even discuss and entrust with such matters as being in charge of the government. Talent, even if you don't marry a noble family, it is expected that you will rise to the top.

Marrying a noble daughter is just icing on the cake for his official career, and has no real benefits. Instead, he will be dragged into various positions and relationships because of his Yue family.

It's better to find a low-born but virtuous wife, to maintain the nature of a lonely and pure minister, and to be trusted and relied on by Chunjia.

But for Wei, if he can turn this young talent into a son-in-law, there will be many benefits.

First of all, Deng Chengzhai himself was worthy of them taking out a prostitute daughter; secondly, the Deng family from which Deng Chengzhai was born was in decline, but his uncle Cui Wan, even though his power was not as powerful as before, was still one of the important ministers.

Anyway, it's worth it.

That's why Concubine De was tired of Yun Fenghuang, begging and pestering, after a while, Yun Fenghuang said helplessly: "Look at your helpless look, that's all, I will help you meet the premise with Your Majesty later. Say it, but I hope His Majesty will not criticize me."

That evening when Chunjia came to Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang kept his promise. When the two of them entered the dormitory to settle down, they mentioned the marriage of Wei's first daughter-in-law: "Let's talk to Concubine De today about Princess Minghui. Well, as I was talking, I talked about Concubine De's younger sister. I remember that when I first entered the palace, Concubine De mentioned that I wanted to tell her younger sister someone, but just now I remembered and asked, That’s why I know it hasn’t been done yet.”

"Don't listen to Concubine De." Chunjia said disapprovingly, "Wei has been thinking about this and that for the past two days, and he knows what he should know. How could it be possible that what he liked two years ago has not been said so far? It's probably true. Then it felt better.”

Yun Fenghuang was certain when he heard the words, secretly thinking that the emperor didn't have a good impression of the Wei family, so there is a high probability that they will not be allowed to mix with the Dingbei Army?

"That's De Concubine's house, De Concubine only told this concubine." Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "I just never dared to speak to you."

Chunjia guessed it right away, and said, "Could it be someone beside me?"

Then I thought for a while, "Could it be Yueting?"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang nodding his head, he sneered and said, "They have good eyesight."

"The concubine said I would mention it to you, but I didn't agree to anything." Yun Fenghuang pushed two six five, "It's also Concubine De who talked here for a long time. After all, the friendship came from entering the palace. The concubine is not It’s easy to refuse, so I can only promise to say something.”

Chunjia snorted, "You're taking me as a favor again."

But he didn't get very angry when he heard the tone, he just said, "Yueting's marriage is his own decision, and I won't do it for him. It's useless for you to tell me about this matter, it's better to let the Wei family find Yueting to discuss it."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and asked: "Then will he agree?"

"Of course not." Chun Jia said, "He doesn't even want to marry Cui's daughter, let alone Wei's daughter? You don't want Concubine De to worry about this matter. It would be glorious for Wei's family to get Yueting as his son-in-law. But what is the benefit of Yueting marrying her younger sister?"

"What Your Majesty said, isn't Concubine De your favorite concubine?" Yun Fenghuang scolded him, "The more Deng Yueting marries Concubine De's younger sister, is he afraid that Concubine De will not speak to him in the future?"

Chunjia said casually: "If it is to get help in the harem, then Yueting might as well marry your sister."

After saying this, seeing Yun Fenghuang staring at her intently, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek, "Don't mess around! I haven't even asked about Yueting's marriage, what are you meddling with? Arrangement!"
