Chapter 372 Chunjia, only Chunjia.
Yun Fenghuang didn't want Jiang Cainu to live, but Gu Zhen was just the opposite.
In Woxia Tower, the queen put down the roster of girls in her hand, and sighed softly: "This time, let's say that there is no beauty like Yi Shi who would amaze anyone. Two, isn't that how His Majesty treats her? Our Majesty, let's say he is ruthless. He used to treat Concubine An, but now he treats Concubine Noble with all his strength. Even Ji and his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, can Disobedience. Call him affectionate, abandon Concubine An only in a blink of an eye, and don't care about people like Bengong who have been with him for so many years, who are said to have no credit but also hard work, and even the children under his knees... Ben Gong ah, I have seen it through, I have never received the blessing of His Majesty's soft-heartedness in this life."
Seeing that the left and right were about to come up to comfort her, she waved her hand, "This is something I knew early on. Is it hard for me to think about it at such an age? It's just that when I saw this young Jiang, I suddenly remembered that the imperial concubine had just entered It happened in the palace. At that time, who took her seriously? At first she was able to make a fuss, although it was because of some loopholes in the disharmony between Empress Yuan and Concubine An, it was because everyone didn't take it to heart and thought about it. The mind of drama. Otherwise, she would not have those opportunities later, let alone win the favor."
The servant asked cautiously: "Could it be that the empress doesn't like this Jiang family? If that's the case, this servant will go..."
"No." The queen shook her head and said, "Although I don't like her, I will definitely not target her. Even, I will help her become a concubine in one fell swoop! Let her occupy a place in the palace!"
"Your Majesty, why should you wrong yourself?" The attendant advised, "This Mrs. Jiang is just as restless as a noble concubine at first glance. There is a noble concubine in the palace, which is enough for your empress to worry about. If there is another one, this..."
"If this Jiang family entered the palace at about the same time as the imperial concubine, there might still be a lot of fighting, but now?" The queen sighed, and said, "How many imperial heirs does the imperial concubine have under her knees? I will accompany your majesty to come here through ups and downs, Jiang It is impossible for the imperial concubine alone to be the opponent of the imperial concubine. Even the imperial concubine will not allow Jiang to live if she receives news at this moment! So if she still wants to live, she can only seek the middle palace as the imperial concubine did at the beginning. I don’t expect her to do anything, I just need to involve some of the noble concubine’s energy, so that the noble concubine can’t plan on my side.”
The attendant said: "But if the Jiang family is like how the imperial concubine dealt with Concubine An, after causing the imperial concubine to fall out of favor, His Majesty's thoughts are all turned to her, wouldn't it be another noble concubine Min?"
The queen said softly: "How could she have the chance to become the next noble concubine? Not to mention Concubine Min's means, if she really lost to this Jiang family, she would definitely not lose in a muddle like Concubine An, who has a loving mother Empress Dowager Even if the imperial concubine loses her hand and Jiang only enters the palace this year, she will give birth to a royal heir next year, and she wants to be with the palace The Emperor's Son, when did that happen?"
As for the fact that if Jiang shi wins the imperial concubine, even if she has no chance to become the next imperial concubine Min, according to Chunjia's temperament, she can be favored for quite a few years, so the queen doesn't care.
Since she was in the middle palace, her goal was not love, but the east palace, the future Qingci Palace.
As long as this matter doesn't hinder her, she doesn't care who the emperor favors.
A few days later, Qin Tianjian reckoned that it would be a good time to leave, and the royal family packed up their belongings and took the lead on the journey back to the palace city of the imperial capital.
There was no accident on the return trip this year... It can't be said that it didn't happen. Concubine Mu once personally reported to the queen that Mrs. Xu's pregnancy was a bit of a toss, and asked if the schedule could be slowed down?
Of course the empress refused, now that there are so many imperial heirs, the pregnancy of a mere concubine is not qualified to ask nobles like the emperor, empress, empress dowager to bother her.
Besides, Da Xu, as one of the concubines who entered the palace during the confinement period, it was very difficult not to let the empress, who had been tortured by life and death several times at that time, be shocked.
To put it simply, from the queen to the noble concubine to all the concubines who were locked in the harem and resigned to their fate at that time, they didn't like people like Da Xu.
Therefore, Da Xu's child loves to have children.
The queen has been with Chunjia for these years, so she naturally knows that if the head of the Daxu family comes from a poor family, Chunjia might still pay attention to this child.
But now that Mrs. Xu came to Concubine Mu, even if Concubine Mu had a quarrel with the Empress, she came from Uncle Zhaowu's Mansion after all. The emperor's indifference these days obviously shows that he has no shortage of contacts with noble ladies. Emperor's heir.
Even if he is a prince, he is destined not to get Chunjia's attention and care.
So the queen told Concubine Mu straightforwardly: "In the past, it was not that there were no concubines who were pregnant and rushed by. In terms of seniority and status, who among them is better than Da Xu? But who is dragging down the team's itinerary? You can tell this, Ben The palace has no face to speak to His Majesty. Just let Mrs. Xu bear it, if she can bear it, then it’s fine; if she can’t, it means that neither she nor you have this blessing, so don’t force it!"
Concubine Mu's complexion changed when she heard the words, because she wanted to get angry subconsciously, but her eyes touched Gu Zhen's cold expression, she finally softened, she pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Mother, it's my concubine who became reckless in a hurry. "
Before the queen could speak, she said again, "Then, can I let the concubine accompany Da Xu to stay nearby for a while, and catch up with the team after she calms down a little?"
This was originally a second-best request. Considering that Da Xu's family is pregnant with the emperor's heir after all, Concubine Mu thinks this request is not too much.
But the queen's expression darkened instantly, and she said coldly: "This is absolutely impossible! Don't make mistakes!"
In the end, he didn't say anything to her, just dropped the curtain and told people, "Send Concubine Mu back."
Forcibly dismissing Concubine Mu, the Empress was still worried, and asked the waiter to look at Concubine Mu and Da Xu, "No matter what, they are not allowed to leave the team. Also, Da Xu's pregnancy, give me a good check. Is she really happy or just pretending, and the pulse-diagnosing doctor sent me a reply from Ben Gong to see if she is pregnant with a boy or a girl!"
It's not that the empress is too worrying, it's really the matter of Yuan Zhiniang back then, although it's not easy to tell, those who know it are all terrified.
After all, it was the natal family of the loving mother Empress Dowager who was destroyed because of this!
It also directly caused the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to leave Fuyang County.
If the Gu family was involved in similar matters, wouldn't everyone in Uncle Zhaowu's mansion be left alone?
No matter how much Chunjia likes the descendants of the Gu family, not to mention that this move touches the bottom line of the royal family, even the loving mother Empress Dowager and Concubine Min will not let go of this opportunity to make trouble!
Gu Zhen was really worried about Concubine Mu, because she was afraid that her head would get hot and she wouldn't be able to see the situation clearly. In order to get a prince or something, she would learn from Yuan Zhiniang.
For this reason, she not only asked people to keep an eye on this cousin, but also blocked the news, so she didn't dare to let people know.
So as not to cause any associations.
These actions ensured the calm on the way back, but Concubine Mu became more and more resentful towards her.
The person sent to monitor reported back that Concubine Mu had been cursing Zhonggong in private, and even told Mrs. Da Xu, who was seriously injured by the forced journey, that the queen deliberately tormented her.
It's because she became pregnant not long after entering the palace, and the queen has been serving the emperor since her wedding until now, and there is no news!
This is because the empress has always known the virtues of this cousin, so she can't help but change her face.
Facing the words of the waiter suggesting to teach Concubine Mu some lessons, she was silent for a moment, but shook her head.
It's not that Gu Zhen is so soft-hearted and can't bear to treat Concubine Mu at this moment, but because of the overall situation: Uncle Zhao Wu is still at the border, and the future of the ten and twelve princes under his knees is still uncertain. At this time, she is targeting Concubine Mu. What good would it do if it was reported that the Gu sisters were feuding with each other?
Maybe Chunjia didn't care, maybe Chunjia wanted the Gu family to fight among themselves, lest there be any possibility of threatening the new king in the future... But more people are afraid that they will impeach Gu's goddaughter for being lax.
Gu Su is young, ignorant and doesn't know the overall situation, but Gu Zhen can't learn from her.
"It's just some complaints." The queen took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and said to the left and right, "She is young after all. When she gets older, she will feel that she has no energy, and she will not be so."
When I don't need to look forward and backward so much, this cousin will clean up for her sooner or later!
She didn't want to pay any more attention to this miserable relative, so she asked someone, "How is the situation at Xiuzhuo Palace? Let's report it!"
In Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang was also asking about the matter of Xiuzhuo Palace, and she was not very happy: "Didn't I give you an order earlier? Why is this Jiang family still doing well? It is a girl from the Xie family and the Jiang family who sprained her ankle. A sprained ankle, a diseased disease?"
"Returning to your mother's words, the maidservant made an agreement with the steward of Xiuzhuo Palace." Chen Jing wiped his cold sweat, because Yun Fenghuang had been extremely powerful since he first entered the palace. People always do things to their advantage, and they never regret or fail to act after saying yes.
So after sending the news, I thought it was a sure thing.
Who knew something went wrong this time?
At this moment, I was in a hurry to apologize, "The servant is planning to go over there immediately after returning to have a look, and asked the steward what he meant face to face!"
Yun Fenghuang said with a sullen face: "Then why are you still standing here? Just say that I care about my cousins, cousins and nieces, go!"
Chen Jing hurriedly kowtowed, got up and went out. The Qing people looked worried: "The manager would refuse such a trivial matter. Could it be that someone gave him instructions?"
"..." The imperial concubine pursed her lips, but she was actually so suspicious in her heart.
The steward of Xiuzhuo Palace is not a newcomer, but an old man in the palace for many years. He should know who can offend and who cannot.
Ordinarily, Yun Fenghuang's explanation was past, even if the queen came forward to defend it, he should not obey it.
After all, everyone knows, not to mention what will happen in the future, at present, the queen can't handle the imperial concubine at all.
It's hard to say whether this steward will succeed in offending the noble concubine or not.
In the past, the order of the loving mother, the empress dowager, might still make the steward hesitate.
Right now... Right now, there is only one person who can tell the steward to ignore the imperial concubine's order and keep Jiang Cainu.
Chun Jia.
Only Chunjia.
Yun Fenghuang had suspected that Jiang Cainu was introduced by the emperor before, but he still had some guesses in his heart. When he tried it last time, he saw that the emperor didn't seem to know the excitement of Xiuzhuo Palace at all, so this suspicion faded away.
But now, I heard that Jiang Cainu, who she told me must be sent to the underworld before Sheng Jia came back, is still fine...
It really couldn't help her not to suspect that Jiang Cainu was standing behind Chunjia.
So here comes the question, what is Chunjia's purpose in arranging her, keeping her, and protecting her? ? ?
