Rong Suihe sent two envoys this time, one each from Jishan Camp and Wuyi Camp.
After they entered the city, they first found an inn to freshen up and change clothes. After that, they went to the street to buy gifts. After getting ready, they went to Sheng Mansion to find Mr. Feng.
When Mr. Feng heard the report from his servants, he came out and saw that they looked familiar to each other, but he was surprised: "You two, I'm sorry for my blindness, but I don't know who you two are?"
After hearing their identity, he asked with concern, "But are you here because of Concubine Mo's critical illness?"
"Old Master, that's exactly what happened." The man from Wuyi Camp was from Tortoiseshell Island, and he was also a fellow villager with Old Master Feng. He said at this moment, "The prince's subordinates all have their own opinions and have been arguing for a while, so we arrived at this time. . These days, I have caused you to worry!"
Old Mrs. Feng sighed: "Let's not talk about these, let's talk about what Mi Zhen is planning to do? I didn't mean to instigate discord between father and son, but this time, King Gaomi really went too far. He is a direct blood relative, as for the trouble with Are they like life-and-death enemies?"
These two people followed Rong Suihe for their future. Even if King Gaomi was Rong Suihe's biological father, in their eyes at this moment, he was no different from the enemy who killed his father. They naturally agreed and agreed with what Mr. Feng said. After a few sentences, he said: "The prince's intention is to ask the old master for help. He will visit Shu Mansion and ask the two empresses in the palace to facilitate the adoption as soon as possible!"
"As long as the county prince changes from the son of King Gaomi to the current heir, then even if Princess Mo is the prince's biological grandmother, she will become a concubine. The Queen Mother is still here, so how can the life and death of a mere concubine be of any concern? Do you have the qualifications to ask the prince to worry about it? Let alone keep filial piety for her!"
Mr. Feng was shocked when he heard this, and asked his confidants to go out and watch, so that others would not listen to him. Then he whispered: "But there was news from Qiao'er before, not that Marquis Chongxin Said...?"
In order to strengthen Sheng Weiqiao's determination to go north, Meng Guiyu did not hesitate to throw out the Shu sisters. He already knew that Rong Suihe and Huan Guanlan had a close relationship, so he gave up the idea of relying on Rong Suihe for the rest of his life. He instead told Rong Suihe The Crane is full of guarded and malicious secrets.
After Sheng Weiqiao found out about this, he not only sent people to fly to report to Rong Suihe in Western Xinjiang, but also left a group of relatives in Chang'an, lest they didn't know what was going on and were plotted by the Shu sisters without knowing it.
At this moment, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but be confused, "How can those two ladies in the palace agree?"
When he came to Chang'an, because he didn't know the inside story, he still thought about using the Feng family's long-standing relationship with the Shu family to seek justice for Rong Suihe. Later, he was prevaricated by the Shu sisters and only said that the two sisters Things are different now, and now my appetite is getting bigger and bigger. I want to take the opportunity to give myself a big blow, and I am still drafting the gift list. But then the news from Sheng Weiqiao arrives, and I know the reason.
The two sisters now harbor ill intentions towards Rong Suihe and are not even willing to help suppress King Gaomi, let alone adopt Rong Suihe into their name
After all, if Rong Suihe can be suppressed by the sisters, it can be said that after having the status of mother and son, they can use filial piety to better control the heir.
The problem is that before all the experiences of Prince Mi Zhen’s exile were exposed, everyone thought that he was not an economical person. Recently, his true experiences were revealed to the public. As long as his brain is not filled with water, no one would dare to underestimate him.
The Shu sisters must have been crazy, otherwise how could they agree to adopt him into the lap of Emperor Xuanjing and give him the title of the emperor's heir and the lord of the East Palace? !
"Old Master, it's like this. Mr. Leyang said, since the two ladies in the palace still pretended to be nonchalant after knowing about the relationship between the king and our county king, it is obvious that they do not want to fall out with the county king, at least. We don't want to have a falling out for the time being." The visitor also explained in a low voice, "So now if the king comes to see them for something, there is still a possibility that they will continue to help to avoid the king's suspicion!"
Mr. Feng said: "I know this. The problem is that this is not a trivial matter! What should we do if those two refuse?"
"Does the old man think there is room for close cooperation between those two men, the Meng family, and King Gaomi?" The visitor asked without answering.
"This..." Mr. Feng didn't understand what he meant, but he still thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it's impossible! Let's talk about the Meng family first. The Shu sisters repeatedly contradicted and humiliated the Queen Mother. Everyone in Chang'an has heard about it, now it's no longer a secret."
"The Queen is young and has a lower seniority. It is said that she is not favored by Marquis Zheng, so that's all."
"The Queen Mother is the foundation for the rise of the Meng family. Even now, the Meng family has lost all power. The importance of the Queen Mother to the Meng family is still irreplaceable."
"Not to mention that the Queen Mother and the head of the Meng family, Zheng Hou, have the same mother and sister. They are close friends."
"If the Meng family takes over the power, how could Zheng Hou not seek justice for the Queen Mother?"
"Even the Queen Mother herself would not be able to let the two sisters go. Concubine Rou during the reign of the late Emperor is a ready example."
"And it's impossible for the Shu sisters to trust the Meng family!"
"As for King Gaomi, although I have never heard of any grievances between the Shu sisters and the Gaomi Palace, and on the issue of Mi Zhen, the Gaomi King and the Shu sisters seem to have the same position. However, as long as the Gaomi Princess is here, then The two sisters may not be at ease either."
Although it was said that Princess Gaomi did not stand up to speak to her younger son when rumors arose that Rong Suihe had "killed his adoptive father", everyone who knew the inside story knew that this was because it involved the dispute between the two legitimate sons of King Gaomi and his wife. , the mother-in-law has no choice.
But if King Gaomi wins and Princess Gaomi becomes queen, she won't care about risking the lives of the Shu sisters to make her youngest son happy!
After all, Damu's senior officials basically believed that the "epidemic" in the Gaomi Palace that year was caused by Princess Gaomi.
How could the princess kill all of King Gaomi's concubines, concubines, and Princess Deping's concubine children for the sake of this little son, let alone two of the world-famous adulterers
Mr. Feng concluded, "Although His Majesty is over fifty years old and has been seriously ill several times before, his actions have been fine so far. Considering that the Queen Mother, as His Majesty's biological mother, is still sharp-sighted and His Majesty is still young, it may not be impossible. Therefore, these two empresses may not necessarily give up the hope of entering the Xinshou Palace in the future."
"That's it." The visitor said, "The county prince and Mr. Leyang also think so. It's just that King Gaomi and Meng may not be willing to let the sisters get what they want. Meng won't say anything. There is a deep rift between them and the Shu sisters. After the little prince born to King Guangling and Concubine Meng died in Leyi Palace, the two sides almost fell out."
"It's King Gaomi who almost adopted his second son Rong Qingzui to the two sisters. Although I don't know why it didn't happen in the first place. But judging from the ruthless way King Gaomi dealt with the county prince this time, it is obvious that he is determined to do it. Favoring the crown prince. Our county prince is outstanding in both literary and military skills. It can be said that he is the most wanted heir of all parents in the world, and yet he is not accepted by him, let alone Rong Qingzui, who was left under the care of the Zhao family since he was a child? "
"Unless they adopt the Crown Prince of Gaomi, the Shu sisters will worry that after the fall of the Meng clan, the King of Gaomi will immediately turn against them, kill their heirs, and replace them with the Crown Prince! Then how can the adoptive mother of the heir take care of herself? ?!”
"However, the Crown Prince of Gaomi is the eldest son of King Gaomi. According to the rules, it is difficult for him to succeed. Especially since his biological mother, Princess Gaomi, is still there, and the Crown Prince is a famously filial princess. How much affection can he have for his adoptive mother? ! Secondly, even if he is forced to succeed, because General Huaihua has clearly stated his support for our county king, King Gaomi may not still have the ability to ensure that he can smoothly sit in the East Palace!"
"So the reason why the Shu sisters knew about the relationship between the Prince and that person, but kept it secret. After discussion with the Prince, they all agreed that they were afraid that there would be no one like the Prince to come out and disturb the Meng family and the King of Gaomi for many years. With the situation of equally dividing the temple, even if a suitable heir is found, even if the old clam gives birth to a child, His Majesty's biological heir will follow in the footsteps of the little prince born by the little Wen family in the past, and he will not even survive in his infancy!"
"Under such circumstances, how dare they cause the prince to suffer a huge blow?"
"And since we don't want the prince to be completely defeated right now, do you think a smart person would fall out with the prince?"
When Mr. Feng heard this, he straightened his brows, stroked his long beard, and said with a smile: "As human beings, we should keep a secret line so that we can meet each other in the future. Since those two still need the prince to disturb the water, of course they should not quarrel with each other first. Okay. Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that if the county prince has been kept in the dark by them, not to mention how skillfully they will stab the knife at the critical moment in the future, let’s just say that once they fail, the county prince has succeeded and can still pretend to have nothing. As you know, count your support to the prince in exchange for the courtesy!"
He said with enthusiasm, "This is a very good plan! You two young men, I will send someone to Shu Mansion to offer advice: Although the two ladies are very reserved, their father Shu Ting is quite nostalgic. These days, , you are very polite to me, I think you will be able to visit me tomorrow or the day after!"
Facts have proved that Shu Ting really misses the old relationship. Of course, it may be that the Feng family has paid a lot of tribute to the Shu family, but has never troubled the Shu family in these years. Not to mention, Mrs. Feng personally went north to make the request, but ultimately ignored it, which made The Shu family, who had been accustomed to receiving benefits over the years, also felt embarrassed.
After Mrs. Feng handed over the greeting card, there was a response that afternoon. Shu Ting personally summoned the servant who sent the greeting card, saying that Mr. Feng was not an outsider and that if anything happened, he could just come over at any time.
The next day, the old man personally came to the door with a large gift. Taking advantage of Shu Ting's smile as she looked at the thick gift list, he tactfully mentioned the adoption. Shu Ting firstly didn't know about Rong Suihe's visit with Huan, and secondly, she was in a happy mood because of the windfall. Immediately he agreed: "Actually, when I entered the palace before, I persuaded the two empresses that it is serious to settle their names with Mi Zhen as early as possible! However, the two empresses also have difficulties in the palace. After all, the old man also knows it. The Queen Mother, Meng, the King of Gaomi, etc. are all quite hostile to the Prince of Mi Zhen. The two empresses can’t help but feel that they can’t beat four hands with one fist, so they delay it!”
Mr. Feng smiled and said: "The ordinary people can also understand the difficulties of the two empresses. It's just that this time Meng and King Gaomi teamed up to deliberately put Mi Zhen to death! Mi Zhen was also afraid of letting down the expectations of the two empresses, so she called the two empresses I’ll be wronged in the future!”
"After all, the Meng family has a deep grudge against the two empresses, and the King of Gaomi has shown no mercy to his own flesh and blood, let alone outsiders?"
"The two empresses have been His Majesty's treasures over the years, and they look at each other with similar eyes!"
"If one day everything happens... Mi Zhen really can't bear to think about it!"
"If you make a mistake, the consequences will be serious. Mi Zhen really can't think of any countermeasures at the moment. You know, this kid always knows how to repay his kindness. When he was in Chang'an, the two empresses expressed their sincerity to him, and he During the days when he went to Western Xinjiang, the two ladies spoke kindly of him in front of His Majesty, and he did not dare to disturb the two ladies rashly!"
Shu Ting said: "What the old man said is right. Don't worry, after I see the two empresses, I will tell them about the filial piety and consideration of the prince."
Then he pretended to refuse the gift, "Mi Zhen will soon be the heir of the two empresses, that is, my biological grandson! You are the biological grandfather of Mi Zhen's daughter-in-law, and we are also the in-laws! These are our own people, but they are doing it." What? Just take it back!"
Naturally, Mr. Feng did not take these kind words seriously and insisted on keeping the generous gift. He also said: "My granddaughter is spoiled. When the name is finalized later, she will come back to Chang'an and she will definitely come to see you! Then she will come to see you!" If there are any irregularities, please be tolerant!"
Shu Ting immediately understood. This was a hint that if Rong Suihe was successfully adopted to Emperor Xuan Jing, Sheng Weiqiao, his cheap grandson-in-law, would be no less filial to him during the holidays.
He had long coveted the name of that wealthy woman, and now he felt more motivated. Even though he found out that the Shu sisters were urgently moving to Shanglin Garden, and both the Leyi and Anfu palaces were busy, he still ignored the palace people. He hinted that he was fine and shouldn't disturb him at this time. After seeing off Mr. Feng, he hurriedly ran to report to his two daughters.
