Chapter 217 Are You Really Fooling Me?
When the emperor was tossing and turning that night, in Yijia Palace and Qinde Hall, Concubine De's master and servant were also whispering.
"Why would your empress want to go to the Marquis of Yongchun?" The attendant asked a little dumbfounded, "Now it's all over, your majesty actually went to confront your concubine and empress for this... Fortunately, neither of you meant to blame your empress, otherwise, no Are you in trouble?"
That day when Yun Fenghuang talked to Concubine De, he didn't let too many people present. When Concubine De gave orders afterwards, her people naturally wouldn't think that his mother would understand the mistake.
"What do you know?" Concubine De didn't think so, and said, "Even though the noble concubine's background is not very good, she has a high spirit. This palace said that she hinted at this place, probably because she wanted to marry me, the Wei family. After all, I am the Wei family. The children are not without excellence! If the imperial concubine is not favored, then Xie Meng is not worthy of my family. But the imperial concubine's meaning is that she does not consider the Wei family, so you say, apart from the clan like Yongchunhou, she still has Who can be considered? If she considers other high-ranking and wealthy children, she doesn't have to come to find me? As for the poor family, even if he is the top scholar, do you think the imperial concubine will like it? The imperial concubine does not lack the praise of her own brothers. Isn't what she lacks a family background like this palace's natal family, or is it something that can help her and her children plan for the East Palace in the future?"
After thinking about it in this way, Concubine De felt that she understood.
Although Marquis Yongchun was young, even if he was the youngest son of the Prince Regent, he didn't inherit any legacy. It can be said that he had nothing but a clan name.
But it is also because he is young that he may be used by Chunjia in the future.
After all, who said that the Gongxiang clan's population is now withered?
For the life experience of the eighth prince, what did Chunjia temporarily confer the title of Duke Xiangzhen? Isn't it because he doesn't have any other suitable people in his hands?
Had to summon my cousin who was only about ten years old?
From this point, it can be seen that as long as Marquis Yongchun does not commit suicide himself, there is still a basic guarantee for his future.
Even when the emperor's heirs grow up one after another in the future and Chunjia wants to establish a crown prince, the Marquis of Yongchun may not be qualified to make insinuations.
Although it is said that Yun Fenghuang raised the Seventh Prince, he has already had a relationship with Princess Yi, and in the future, King Yi will probably stand on the side of Xuanqing Palace, but he is also the cousin of the Son of Heaven. The title is lower, but it is more convenient to do things.
In short, Concubine De believed that the imperial concubine had three nieces under her knees, and it was not wrong to arrange for Xie Meng to marry Yongchun Hou, and to win over a clan member who could speak in front of the emperor in advance!
Furthermore, she did have some understanding of Xie Meng's temperament, and knew that this girl had a long and beautiful appearance resembling a noble concubine, but in fact, in terms of mind, eyes and means, she couldn't compare to Yun Fenghuang. If such a master married into a high-ranking and wealthy family, without a noble concubine to watch over him all the time, he would probably be fooled and be ignorant. Since the imperial concubine loves Xie Meng dearly, how can she find a husband who can't handle it?
So no matter how you look at it, the Marquis of Yongchun is the most suitable!
…Concubine De was still a little depressed at the moment, and said: "Your Majesty's attitude towards the concubine is also strange. If you say you don't care, you are obviously very fond of the concubine, and you protect her tightly! Even the loving mother, the empress dowager, can't do anything to the concubine because of this! But if you want to say you care about it, you don't like Xie's revitalization. Even with the marriage to Xie's daughter, you don't like to marry too high. Bengong thought, maybe, it's not that I got it wrong, but the noble concubine saw His Majesty I personally asked about this matter, worried that His Majesty would disapprove, so I pulled the tank on the roof of the palace?"
When she said that, it was not impossible to think about it left and right.
After all, Yun Fenghuang's temperament may not be incapable of doing such a thing.
"I don't think His Majesty has taken this matter seriously, otherwise how can I be in the mood to drive me out?" Concubine De sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it..."
So most of the servants were dispersed, and only the dowry palace servants were left to serve.
This one saw that there were only two masters and servants in the dormitory, just now he got closer to Concubine De, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in this way, the imperial concubine has no intention of marrying Miss Meng to Marquis Yongchun, what should we do about this matter? "
"What else can I do? This is the only way to go." Concubine De frowned and said, "What kind of character is the concubine? We haven't figured it out after all these years in the palace? Since she didn't mean it, I forcefully said, It must make her suspicious! Then things will be more troublesome... It's all my family's fault. Since I was dating the Prince Regent two years ago, didn't I know how to do things more neatly? I don't know what happened. The handle, in such a hurry, tell Bengong to tell Miss Meng to Marquis Yongchun!"
"The family has its own sense of propriety, so why don't you know that the noble concubine is difficult?" The dowry persuaded, "Since I still asked the empress, there is obviously nothing I can do. Why don't you go to test it with the imperial concubine in two days? The imperial concubine is cultivated Miss Meng is also for the future of her children. Marquis Yongchun and Miss Meng are similar in age, so they are not bad candidates. The concubine may not have thought of it at first, or she may be afraid of His Majesty's objection and dare not admit it. In short, she may not look down on her Marquis of Yongchun."
Concubine De shook her head and said: "The noble concubine is extremely astute, today I can get away with fooling around by making a mistake. If you try to persuade her to make the mistake, do you think she is the queen? Is that easy to deceive?"
As for the troubles that the Wei family is facing now, "Your Majesty is already chasing down those people, and you are trying to drag our family into the water with things that you can't protect yourself? You really think that the Wei family is easy to bully! Let the family tell them that the Wei family has no grievances with the Marquis of Yongchun." There is no enmity, but if they continue to entangle, the Wei family does not mind any quarrels with the Marquis of Yongchun! Now that the Regent and his wife are not here, I don’t know if there is a mistake in the Marquis of Yongchun, will the Yiwang and his wife decide for him? ?”
That must be impossible.
Although Gong Xiangxiao and Gong Xiangzhen are half-brothers, there is a lot of estrangement between them.
To be precise, it was Gong Xiangxiao who had a lot of estrangement from Gong Xiangzhen.
Even if it was later discovered that the regent did not really prefer the youngest son over the eldest son, the grievances accumulated over the years were not so easy to dissipate.
The relationship between the brothers is still very cold.
King Yi didn't have much kindness towards Marquis Yongchun, let alone run away for him.
"This..." The dowry wanted to persuade her again, but Concubine De was not happy: "You are so close to the family, I might as well send you back! You just think that your family was killed by the Prince Regent because of the affair with the Prince Regent in the early years." Persecuted by his party members, he wants to find a good marriage for Marquis Yongchun, who can protect him in the future. I don't want my palace to be able to rise to the top in this palace until now, suppressing the Luo family, Yin family, and Meng family as concubines. The next couple of children are mediocre, what do you rely on? Is it the family? Or the emperor’s favor? Neither! What this palace relies on is the support of the noble concubine when she is in her last days!"
"If you lose the trust and favor of the imperial concubine, how did I get up in the first place, and how do I get down!"
"Why does your empress think so?" The dowry disagreed with her statement that she gave the credit to the noble concubine, "If it doesn't matter if the empress's family background, appearance, talent and talent don't matter, then why are you a concubine De and not Na Yi? Na Yi is the concubine's hand." I was born as a concubine, so when it comes to flattering the imperial concubine and empress, she is much more unreserved than the empress!"
Concubine De snorted: "Don't say such words to deceive me! Don't forget the example of Mrs. Zheng and Concubine Zhenxi Shu. The noble concubine's ability to lift people is not small, but how can it compare to her ability to deceive people? That is an old man who entered the palace when His Majesty got married, and Concubine Zhenxi Shu is the daughter of Duke Yi, and she died under the hands of the noble concubine for no apparent reason, so I don't want to follow in their footsteps!"
Wei Hengyan figured it out clearly in his heart, she is the only daughter of the Wei family in the palace now, and has a pair of children under her knees, even if the third prince is not very popular with Chunjia, and the eleventh prince has nothing to do with the position of the crown prince, but the emperor The heir is the emperor's heir. These two siblings are enough to ensure that even if the children of the Wei family are unworthy in the next three or two generations, they will have a certain amount of wealth and honor.
Even if Wei shi rushed to send her daughter back to the palace, it would be impossible for her to have such an achievement in a while.
Therefore, even if she rejected Wei Shi this time, Wei Shi wouldn't dare to do anything to her even if she didn't care about feelings and only about benefits.
As for the noble concubine, the noble concubine has never been a soft-hearted master.
In case she is made aware of her petty actions, although it is possible that Yun Fenghuang doesn't mind, or the matter of punishing her is over, but... there is also a possibility that the imperial concubine said that it doesn't matter , turned her head and let her feel cold for no reason?
Wei Hengyan didn't want to use his own life, future, and even his two children to test the noble concubine.
She is quite satisfied with her current life. Although Chunjia hasn't been to her place for more than half a year, she has a high status and holds a part of the palace power in her hand. She has both children and her mother's family is no big deal. I feel pretty good.
I don't want to break this peaceful and good time because of my mother's family.
"Tomorrow, pack up some things and send them to Xuanqing Palace. I will say that this palace will make amends to Miss Meng for my unintentional mistake." Concubine De thought for a while, and then ordered, "Speak nicely, but in short, you must not Tell the noble concubine sister to hate me."
Although she was afraid of the noble concubine, Concubine De felt that Yun Fenghuang was quite good.
Let's see, since I hugged this thigh, as long as I concentrate on pleasing Huanhua Palace, the ups and downs of these years have nothing to do with her Yijia Palace, but there are various benefits. She basically has no been left behind.
Anyway, she thinks this thigh is worth hugging.
So for her natal family, it is a great deal of face for her to make a move once, and let her disregard the future of her mother and child to tease the imperial concubine... Do you really think she is stupid?
... Concubine De concubine had a bad start and planned to give up, but the rumors had already reached the ears of the three sisters Xie Meng.
"Meng'er, what should we do about this?" Mrs. Xie asked worriedly, "Even we have heard gossiping outside that you miss Yongchunhou, which shows how rampant the rumors are! What is going on here? How about we Go see your aunt and ask me to understand?"
"I still don't want it anymore." Xie Meng frowned, and before he could speak, Xie Kuo whispered next to him, "What we all know, can there be no news from aunt? Besides, aunt is now in a heavy body and is about to give birth. For the sake of what my aunt knew earlier, my aunt has to force her spirits to comfort us."
What Xie Meng and Xie Mu said were silent.
Xie Mo couldn't help but said: "But, it's about Meng'er's boudoir reputation..."
"That's nothing!" Although Xie Meng is domineering and doesn't care about the city, he really cares about Yun Fenghuang. He hesitated for a while, but quickly endured it and said, "We are aunt's niece, It was my aunt who picked up many nieces and brought them up in the palace herself. For this, they would talk behind their backs at most, who would dare to embarrass them face to face? Even if the boudoir's reputation is really bad, with my aunt around, I'm afraid there will be no more in the future. Future? There is nothing more important than aunt now!"
"..." Xie Xie thought about it too, and sighed, "Then let's not go out for the next two days. Maybe it's boring to discuss outside, so we won't mention it."
After hesitating for a while, he said again, "But Meng'er has never seen Marquis Yongchun at all, who is playing tricks behind his back to plant Meng'er like this?"
