The princesses learned good news that night.
The ninth princess born of a cheap maid, her commoner prince-in-law bought a top-notch brothel girl back.
They were so happy that they all ate a little more.
Early the next morning, he entered the palace and told Concubine Yang the good news.
Concubine Yang ate bird's nests in the morning.
She is getting older and has given birth to a son and a daughter, so she pays great attention to taking care of her body. A bowl of bird's nest every morning is an absolute must.
Concubine Yang was able to receive such treatment because of her title of prince.
Although your Majesty has many children, only two are princes. The eldest prince born to Concubine Yang has always been very popular with the emperor.
The second prince had a bad temper and liked to abuse the palace people. The emperor didn't like this son very much.
He was able to receive the treatment he received now because there were only two princes in the palace.
It is certain that Concubine Yang's son will inherit the throne in the future, so even though she is only a concubine, the concubines in the palace still regard her as the leader.
Drinking the bird's nest, listening to what the princesses below said to each other, they couldn't hide the joy of telling the news, and Concubine Yang also had a hint of joy in her eyebrows.
It's just that she has always been good at doing Erzi Kung Fu, but Shang reprimanded her softly:
"If the Ninth Prince-in-law did such a thing, it would not be nice to tell anyone about it. Don't tell anyone about it, so as not to make your father angry."
The princesses all agreed.
There are five princesses who came specifically to pay their respects. The eldest three princesses are already twenty-three years old this year.
It doesn't matter if it's big or small, it doesn't mean it's small.
At this moment, he said with a smile: "Ninth sister is not as well married as the other sisters, and the only thing that is considered good is that the prince-in-law is infatuated. I didn't expect that people's hearts can change. At first, the ninth prince-in-law was so in love with ninth sister, but now he has also changed his mind. .”
Concubine Yang listened to her words with a smile on her lips.
"It's the Ninth Princess's fate that deserves it."
"Ninth sister has not been lovable since she was a child. Even my father doesn't like her. He says he gets bored whenever he sees her. I didn't expect her prince-in-law to be the same way. Hey, I feel really sorry for her."
While they were having the above conversation, they also specially called Jiang Xinyan's mother, Wang Cainu, to sit and listen to the princesses who appeared to be worried about their sister, but in fact each one was more mocking than the last.
Concubine Yang was sitting upright, looking at Wang Cainu's eyes filled with worry and numbness, and felt extremely happy in her heart.
However, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I saw that Wang Cainu still looked prettier than me even after years of hard work.
Concubine Yang and Wang Cainu actually knew each other before entering the palace.
At that time, her father was not the powerful official he is today, and she was not the majestic Concubine Yang. She was just a concubine from a small official's family in a small county.
At that time, it was said that all the noble girls in the capital could read and read. In order to help his daughter marry into a family with a better family background than his own, her father sent her to a girls' school in the county.
In a girls' school, there are fifteen girls in a class.
She and Wang Cainu are in the same class.
Wang Cainv's father was a scholar, and she was also extremely beautiful. Even her academic performance was far behind them.
As for Concubine Yang, her proud appearance was not good enough in front of Wang Cainu. Although her father had a higher status than Wang Cainu's father, Wang Cainu was the legitimate daughter.
Her father clearly had only one daughter, but he still refused to take a concubine. It is said that Wang Xiucai regarded this daughter as the apple of his eye.
If all this just makes Concubine Yang dislike Wang Cainu, who is better than her in every aspect.
So for the first time, I was in love with my cousin who was a frequent visitor to my home and whose status was much higher than my own. However, I learned that his family had proposed marriage to Wang Xiucai and wanted to marry Wang Cainu. Those jealousies turned into It became hate.
At that time, my cousin was the best husband that Concubine Yang could have.
And they were childhood sweethearts, so it was only fitting that they be together.
But my cousin only saw Wang Cainu once when he was offering incense, and he wanted to marry her.
The aunt had always disliked her as a concubine and was unwilling to agree to the marriage between the two families.
But if it were Wang Cainu, she would directly send someone to propose marriage.
At that time, Concubine Yang felt countless humiliations being placed on herself. Later, her father sent her to a talent show, and she was selected to go to the palace as a show girl.
Before departure, Concubine Yang specially asked a fortune teller to tell her fortune.
She originally wanted to figure out whether she could be successful in the palace, but before she knew it, she thought of Wang Cainu.
The woman who always puts pressure on her.
She asked the fortune teller if she had a nemesis who was even more beautiful than her and would become a threat to her.
The fortune teller calculated for a long time and muttered:
"Girl is destined to be rich and noble, but that girl is ahead of you in terms of destiny. I am afraid that in the future, I will have to work with the same husband and compete with you, girl."
In fact, the fortune teller said this very deliberately.
After all, he knew that Concubine Yang was a show girl who was about to enter the palace, and girls in the draft were all about beauty. Since she was prettier than Concubine Yang, she would definitely be selected to enter the palace.
Everyone has entered the palace, everyone is serving the emperor, and they must be working together.
At that time, Concubine Yang didn't know these twists and turns. After hearing this, she was shocked and gave her money to ask for details.
The fortune teller started to talk nonsense: "Although that girl has a precious destiny, she can still be suppressed. But if she gives birth to an heir, it's hard to say whether the heir will be a man in the future. If it is a woman, I'm afraid... "
He dipped his hand in water and wrote the character "phoenix" for "phoenix".
Huang can have many explanations in Feng Kingdom, but the most popular explanation is that the queen can use phoenix.
According to the fortune teller, if Wang Caineng gives birth to a daughter, then this daughter will definitely be a serious problem for Concubine Yang.
This child is born with wealth and destiny, and can definitely become the mother of a country.
If she wanted to suppress the other party, in addition to giving him money and listening to his feng shui, she would also have to find a way to suppress the other party when Wang Cainu's daughter was still young.
But he couldn't be killed, at least not by her hands.
Otherwise, the enemy's grievance will be entangled and it will be impossible to suppress it.
This fortune teller was well-known in the local area (he was good at cheating). Concubine Yang was stunned for a moment after being fooled. She didn't fully believe it at the time, but only had some doubts.
After all, every year, girls are accused of being destined to be queens.
This is also a common tactic used by charlatans. They say that men will be crowned kings and prime ministers, and that girls will be the future mothers of the world.
In this way, parents will naturally happily spend money.
The fortune-telling liar probably didn't even think of it. He just saw that the other party was a beautiful girl, so he randomly assigned the destiny of a concubine to the other party, and Concubine Yang really became a concubine.
In just two years, Concubine Yang gave birth to the eldest prince, not because of her own abilities, but because there were only princesses in the palace at that time.
At that time, the emperor could not have a son for so long after he took the throne. The concubines were either stillborn or gave birth to only princesses. Concubine Yang's eldest prince was in good health. He was overjoyed and made him a concubine.
In just two years, Concubine Yang went from being a little showgirl to a concubine raising the only prince in the palace.
But at the same time, she still had that thing hidden in her heart.
The fortune teller said she would become a concubine, and she did.
The fortune teller said that the woman will have a husband with her, is it accurate
Concubine Yang called her family to inquire. She thought that the other party had already married her cousin, but when she asked, she found out that before the marriage was completed, Wang Xiucai passed away, leaving Wang Cainu alone as an orphan.
Her aunt immediately regretted it after learning about it and never mentioned the marriage again.
Wang Cai's family property was confiscated by her tribe on the grounds that Wang Xiucai had no male sons. She was kicked out of the Wang family because she had nowhere to go. It happened that a palace maiden was being selected, and she was chosen.
When the incident happened, Concubine Yang was pregnant and had not been promoted to the rank of concubine. Naturally, she could not contact her family, so she knew nothing about it.
After discovering that Wang Cainu had actually entered the palace, Concubine Yang wanted to find her and kill her immediately.
But she didn't dare to kill him openly.
The fortune teller said that if she was killed and the wronged soul was haunted, she would be helpless by then.
Concubine Yang thought about it and searched around, and found Wang Cainu, who was assigned to do easy work because of her good looks.
She called the person over and asked her to do the dirtiest work of emptying chamber pots and washing bedpans.
She knew that the emperor loved cleanliness and was particular about bloodlines.
Even if he falls in love with the palace maid, he will give her a refuge soup after one night.
The emperor did not allow humble palace ladies to give birth to their own children.
It's even more impossible to do that kind of dirty work.
But that didn't stop him from having a drink in Concubine Yang's palace, and then ran into Wang Cai's house in a domineering manner.
Wang Cainu's house was very small, and Concubine Yang did not allow her to sleep with other palace maids, fearing that they would secretly help her, so she was given a small room for her, saying that she was taking care of her for the sake of her fellow countrymen. Give her a private room.
So this also led to the fact that when Wang Cainu woke up and found a man pressing on her, no matter how she panicked for help, she could not stop the other man's actions.
She struggled so hard that the emperor was displeased and beat her severely.
As the night passed, Wang Cainu could hardly breathe out.
Afterwards, Concubine Yang learned the news, and when the emperor woke up, she told the other party that Wang Cainu was doing the lowest and dirty work.
The emperor naturally thought of something that had been washed by the hands that grabbed him and hit him in the face last night.
In an instant, all the charming thoughts that arose because of Wang Cainv's beauty disappeared.
He even suspected that this despicable palace maid was responsible for the tricks he found in Wang Cai's room along the way.
Otherwise, why would other people's houses not be as fragrant as hers
Therefore, Wang Cainu was ordered by the emperor to beat her dozens of times in the name of seducing the emperor.
No one gave her a chance to defend herself.
No one believed that the smell in her house was because she was always laughed at by others for doing dirty work, saying that she stunk. Wang Cainu didn't know that they were just making excuses and thought she really stunk, so she specially made a sachet. Want to cover up the smell.
That day, she was beaten almost to death, and no one gave her medicine.
The emperor knew her miserable condition and didn't even think of sending Bizi Tang there.
No one expected that she would actually become pregnant.
After all, his majesty's blood is in his belly. No matter how much the emperor hates Wang Cainu's origin, he still looks forward to having another prince.
So Wang Cainv had the title of Cainv and no longer had to work as a palace maid.
Concubine Yang still asked her to come from time to time, saying she was concerned, but in fact, she always asked her to stand with her big belly.
Things have come to this.
Concubine Yang herself couldn't tell. She was jealous that Wang Cainu was better than her in everything and easily took away what she wanted.
I am still worried that the other person will become the winner by relying on the child in his belly, as the fortune teller said.
Although the emperor did not like Wang Cainu, he valued the prince.
Concubine Yang did not dare to do anything to the child in Wang Cainu's belly, so she could only try her best to tease her.
It’s just that the kid is really stubborn.
Even though this was the case, Wang Cainu still had trouble giving birth to her.
When Concubine Yang found out it was a daughter, she was relieved and worried.
She was afraid that the fortune teller's prediction would come true.
So she had to nip the mother and daughter's hope of being favored in the cradle.
She arranged for her slave to go over and asked the emperor to come and take a look.
Yipai gently mentioned the birth of the Ninth Princess and wanted the emperor to see her.
The emperor didn't care about the princess, but he didn't mind being teased like a toy. He nodded, and a slave immediately hugged the ninth princess and came forward.
Then, the emperor saw some filth exposed in the palm of the swaddled baby's hand.
His face turned green at that time.
In fact, it is normal for a child to be covered with dirt when he is born. The eldest prince was not covered with dirt when he was born.
The mothers will wash the children well before sending them out.
But the Ninth Princess didn't have this kind of treatment, especially under Concubine Yang's hint, they even stuffed some into the Ninth Princess's hand.
The emperor immediately thought that he had given birth to a child with a humble maid.
His noble royal blood was mixed with the blood of a humble palace maid.
The name of the ninth princess was decided an hour after the emperor walked away.
Disgusted.
The status of the Ninth Princess is clear at a glance.
Concubine Yang looked at the little baby and waited until there was no one around before she smiled happily.
This child was destined not to be loved by the emperor from birth.
She will only hold it in her own hands for the rest of her life and live out her miserable life according to her own arrangements.
Jiang Xinyan's childhood was undoubtedly miserable.
Any of her sisters can bully her, and children can sometimes be more cruel than adults.
They may not really hate Jiang Xinyan, but bullying this sister will not result in reprimand from the elders, and will also get the love of Concubine Yang. This is enough for the princesses to get what they want by bullying Jiang Xinyan.
When Jiang Xinyan grew up and became more beautiful than them all, the eighth princess gradually felt that this sister was no longer so annoying.
So he quit bullying the Ninth Princess.
The eldest princess and the second princess are older and more sensible, and will not rely on bullying their younger sisters to get what they want.
The remaining five princesses were the main group bullying Jiang Xinyan.
Especially when everyone grew up, the emperor specially held several palace parties. The princesses sat in their seats and could look down at the young talents below.
At this time, most of the young talents' eyes were on the Ninth Princess.
There was no way, the princesses were very young at that time, and the young talents were naturally young as well. Boys of this age naturally like better-looking ones.
The five princesses hated Jiang Xinyan even more.
They knew from childhood that Jiang Xinyan was of low status and inferior to them.
But others thought Jiang Xinyan was better than them.
What makes them happy is that even if those teenagers are looking at Jiang Xinyan, their family will not consider the unpopular Ninth Princess as an option.
When the emperor said that he wanted Jiang Xinyan to get married, Concubine Yang instantly thought of the fortune teller's prediction.
Queen's fate.
Jiang Xinyan is the princess of this dynasty, so naturally she can be the queen of another dynasty.
She immediately thought of a way to dispel the emperor's idea.
Later, in order to prevent Jiang Xinyan from really becoming a queen, she thought about it and decided that she should find an ordinary person in this dynasty.
By coincidence, a commoner accidentally saw the princess and was so obsessed with her that he even stopped eating and sleeping just to look at the portrait of the Ninth Princess. The news reached Concubine Yang's ears.
Isn't this the Nine Prince Consort sent to her by God
He was a humble person, not even a child, and he openly admired the Ninth Princess. Even if the royal family married the Ninth Princess to him, he would not say anything else.
So, everything fell into place.
A poor consort who came from the countryside and had no experience.
With such a husband, the Ninth Princess will never be destined to be a queen in her whole life, as the fortune teller said.
Even if she reconciles with her consort, a remarried woman can't be the queen of the world, right
She was very happy and satisfied, and rewarded several princesses with heads on the same day.
The princesses went back happily, even more happy when they thought about the miserable situation of the ninth princess.
Then they welcomed their consort.
"Ji Changze is really a villain. He just bought Yin'er back. Today he has taken a fancy to the newcomer. After the newcomer gave her a few words of instigation, he kicked Yin'er out of the house."
The princes-in-law asked themselves, none of them could be so scumbag.
Such a great beauty was driven away directly! !
Why are you driving me away
If you don’t want it, leave it to us!
Otherwise, if you sell it back, you can get your money back! ! !
But that man Ji Changze actually drove him away as soon as he said he wanted to. Hearing that Yin'er cried and begged him at that time, he was unmoved and said that he didn't want the princess to be sad.
Nonsence!
It's obvious that he has fallen in love with the newcomer, what about the Ninth Princess
The princesses were also shocked after hearing their prince-in-law's beeping: "Is that ninth prince-in-law really so heartless? Wasn't it just one night?"
"That's right. When he saw Lian'er today, he wanted to redeem Lian'er with all his heart, but he had no money, so he stayed at the Third Prince Consort's house and drank to drown his sorrows!"
The fifth prince-in-law wanted to hit someone.
He has never seen such a vicious and stupid person.
You said you like Lian'er and want to redeem Lian'er's life, but why don't you drive away such a valuable Yin'er.
Now that Yin'er is gone and Lian'er can't redeem herself, she acts like a rogue and stays at the Third Prince Consort's house, drinking his wine, soaking in his baths, and even dreaming of sleeping on a jade pillow.
The third prince-in-law couldn't quarrel, so he could only coax him nicely and angrily.
"What should I do now? I originally wanted to separate through Yin'er, but now he has changed his mind and Yin'er has been driven away..."
The fifth princess frowned:
"Isn't there another Lian'er? Ransom that Lian'er and send him to him."
The fifth prince-in-law: "..."
He took a careful look at the fifth princess and said in a low voice: "Although this Lian'er is not the top one, she still needs a lot of money to redeem herself. It needs three thousand taels... We don't have enough money in our hands."
The fifth princess suddenly became angry.
"Your father is also a second-grade man after all! You don't even have three thousand taels in your hand?! Why, do you want me to redeem that prostitute myself?!!"
When the fifth princess got angry, the fifth prince-in-law could only smile and apologize: "Where is the princess? With a daughter of gold, I will naturally take care of these little things for you."
After finally coaxing the person, he couldn't help but kick the stone on the ground hard after he went out.
The fifth princess was absolutely unscrupulous because her brother was the eldest prince and her mother was Concubine Yang.
It would be fine if the husband and wife got along harmoniously and normally, but she basically treated him as a servant.
Think about Ji Changze again. Although he has no servants to serve him, and he speaks softly to the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess is also willing to reciprocate to him.
Ji Changze just spent two taels of silver to buy a silver hairpin for the ninth princess, and the princess was filled with joy.
Look at him again, working hard for the fifth princess, not only giving money but also showing strength, and still getting scolded.
He kicked the stone hard again, his eyes filled with darkness.
That night, the five princes-in-law were all filled with depression.
They had no money and had to go to their parents to get money.
But after they took the money, their family members always wanted to find out what they had done.
After finding out that they were taking the money to ransom a prostitute, the originally peaceful mansion became lively.
Originally, these consorts all lived with the princess in the princess's mansion, but now they still come back every three days to get money, which makes their brothers and sisters-in-law feel unhappy.
This unhappiness reached its peak when it was discovered that they had taken the money from the house to redeem the woman.
On the one hand, he was scolded by his family and looked down upon by his brother and sister-in-law, and on the other hand, he was scolded by the princess for being useless and failing to get things done.
Here we have to watch Ji Changze fall in love with each other, spend their money, and enjoy themselves more than they do. The ninth princess in the family is gentle and considerate and never complains.
Under such a three-layer attack.
The consorts successfully broke out in silence.
Jiang Xinyan was called to the palace as usual. Halfway through, the fifth princess came running back crying with a big slap mark on her face.
She was shocked, and Chunzhu asked other palace maids to find out that the fifth prince-in-law had drunk wine, had a dispute with the fifth princess, and even beat the fifth princess.
Concubine Yang was so distressed and furious that she immediately complained to the emperor. The father of the fifth prince-in-law was indeed a second-rank man in the court, but even if he was a second-rank man, the emperor would not tolerate it if he beat the emperor's daughter.
He directly sent people to beat the five princes thirty times as a warning to others.
When Jiang Xinyan returned home, she felt incredible when she mentioned it to Ji Changze:
"Fifth sister has always refused to suffer losses, but she let the prince-in-law slap her and ran back crying. I saw that her face was red and swollen."
Sure enough, does love make people blind
The always powerful fifth sister was actually beaten by the consort.
Ji Changze, the culprit, nodded repeatedly: "No, I really don't know why they made such a fuss."
"Isn't it good to live a good life? He actually dared to hit people. In the past, I thought he was a good person. He really knows what people know but not what they know."
After finishing his meal, he took a stroll and went to the Fifth Prince Consort's father's house to visit the Fifth Prince Consort.
On the bed, the fifth princess called a group of guards and maids to beat him so hard that several bones in his body were broken and there was no good piece of meat at all. The fifth prince-in-law was wrapped up into a mummy and had received thirty strokes from the emperor, lying stiffly on the bed.
Obviously, the real situation of the battle was that the fifth princess was slapped and the fifth prince-in-law was beaten into a mummy. They all spoke in trembling words:
"I really didn't expect that you would be the first person to come see me."
If something happens to him, the other princes-in-law will not dare to expose it for fear of being affected.
The fifth prince-in-law was filled with hatred.
His father was a second-grade man after all, but after he was beaten like this, His Majesty actually sent someone to beat him.
If the fifth princess hadn't gone too far and called some handsome men to her every day, but wouldn't let him take a look at the pretty girl, and treated her like a slave, how could he be depressed and drunk, and how could he get into arguments.
"Your father is a second-grade man. It's okay if His Majesty doesn't help you, but unexpectedly, eh!"
The five princes consort felt cold in their hearts.
So what about the second grade... It seems like he should have a talk with his father. Your Majesty can beat him indiscriminately today, and raid his home tomorrow.
The king is ruthless, it is not just words.
Darkness flashed in his eyes.
Ji Changze could see clearly, but Shang still had the look of a country prince who had no knowledge and could only sigh:
"Hey, why did it happen like this? I beat you like this. I think the fifth princess is usually quite nice."
"It's true that you know people but don't know the heart."
The fifth prince-in-law trembled and looked at Ji Changze.
That's right, people know what they know but don't know their hearts. Even His Majesty will fall out whenever he wants. Their family still can't take sides too early.
Now that the eldest prince has not ascended the throne, the fifth princess no longer regards him as a human being.
If he ascends the throne, will he still have a way to survive
These people are all masters of face-changing.
They call each other brothers on weekdays, but at critical moments neither of them shows up.
Everyone has several holes.
Except…
He looked at Ji Changze who was still chattering about everything going well with his family and the princess was too much.
This man simply didn't understand what His Majesty's reprimanding him meant.
He will never understand that this not only means that His Majesty does not take their family seriously, but also means that his father will reconsider how to treat the royal family in such a heartless situation.
People who saw him being beaten like this can understand these things just thinking about it.
The fifth prince-in-law could not control the contempt in his eyes.
Except Ji Changze, the ninth prince-in-law who came from the countryside.
——Stick to the stupidity as always.
The five princes-in-law, who had just been struck by the emperor and the fifth princess, found confidence in each other.
Oh, country people.
