"Use more, this cucumber is not bad. Didn't you think it tasted good just now? Why have you lost your appetite now?" Feng Juoran smiled and reached out to put another cucumber in the bowl for her. "Don't worry, He's coming in. Let Mrs. Qin live with her and free up some garden space. My palace doesn’t have much garden to begin with, so if we let them live like this, my son and daughter will live there in the future!"
"How do you have so many sons and daughters?" Mo Xuetong was very dissatisfied with his arrogant attitude. His palace was still relatively small. Compared with other palaces, Mo Xuetong knew that his palace was the largest. At first it was because there were many women in his backyard, and the emperor favored him, so he specially found a big house for him. Now the women in the backyard all live in a few specific gardens, and so many gardens are empty. How many sons do you need for your daughter to live here
"Well, not yet, but later..." Feng Juoran pulled the chair towards her and whispered evilly in her ear, "When Tong'er gives birth to me one by one, then there will be ”
What he said was extremely ambiguous. Mo Xuetong couldn't help but blush. She glanced sideways at the maids who lowered their heads and suppressed laughter with serious expressions. She felt even more embarrassed and pushed him away: "Just talk, no matter what you do." come over."
"Since Tong'er agreed, I know that Tong'er is the best to me."
The more he talked, the more he became less and less restrained. Mo Xuetong could only marvel at how thick-skinned this man was and simply ignored him. She also knew that he would not care about He Yufen's matter. She had already seen it when the He family came to the capital. Feng Jueran has always disliked them. The marriage between the He family and Yu Mingyong was sometimes a big one, sometimes a small one, and it has become a mess now.
After He Yuxiu disappeared suddenly, the Yu family also came to ask He Yuxiu. How could a good person just disappear like this? No one could find a clue. Even if the matter was left there, I heard that the Yu family also came to ask He Yuxiu. The family brought up the matter of He Yufen and Yu Mingyong, but the He family refused to let go.
Even if this matter is left there!
Of course Mo Xuetong understood what the He family was thinking. They sent a beautiful woman to the palace in the name of the He family. If she got Feng Juoran's favor, the He family would be able to soar into the sky again. Besides, there was always someone in the harem. Concubine Zhao, who didn't like her, wanted to get rid of her quickly.
His own existence has become an obstacle for the He family to obtain Feng Juoran's favor. He Yufen's entry into the house may be the beginning of a dispute.
"Don't worry, Aunt Qin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Besides, my backyard has always been very messy. Once you enter my palace, life and death are all up to me. Okay, don't think about this. It will be your birthday in a while. I want to What?" Seeing Mo Xuetong's brows frowning slightly, Feng Juoran knew that she was worrying about those things again, so he simply changed the subject and smiled.
Mo Xuetong was not in good health, and she vomited blood yesterday. Being too worried was not conducive to her recovery. Feng Juoran knew that she should relax at this time, so he comforted her and said, "What happened in the backyard?" There is really no need for her to do anything. He has already planned it. Anyway, in this huge palace, who cares if there is one more person or one less person.
"I didn't think about it!"
"Then, take some time to think about it."
Several princes' palaces and the four princes' palaces were all attacked by assassins in one night. King Yan even broke his arm. Once such a big thing happened, the previous affairs of Prince Yan's palace were completely out of the question. Even Princess Yan rushed back at night. At home, the matter of falling off the carriage and breaking his leg disappeared without a trace.
Compared with such a large-scale assassination, the farce between a few women is really not a big deal.
King Yan was locked up in the palace and could not get out. King Chu was still in the military camp. King Xuan was frightened. Among the princes, only Prince Ning, who had always been low-key these days, went to the emperor's study room with the people from the four princes' palaces. Of course, The most dissatisfying thing here is the arrogant Prince Xuan who is "frightened" and "cannot sleep at night or eat well". I heard that the prince is lying on the bed now and dare not even leave the door. Where would I come to the palace
This makes people feel more and more that His Highness Prince Xuan is really an embroidered pillow.
But this kind of embroidered pillow comes from the royal family. Even if everyone looks down on it, when talking about Feng Jue Ranlai, they can't help but ask more about the assassination of Prince Xuan's Mansion, and pay attention to His Highness Prince Xuan's " Disease," another well-informed person said, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's backyard was opened again.
Those beautiful concubines are now on the rise again. I heard that a concubine was promoted to a high position a while ago. It seems that His Highness, Prince Xuan, has relapsed into his old habits. It is really impossible to support the wall with mud. He is so noble. His identity and his beautiful appearance are really useless.
It’s just that the discussion in the royal study room ended up with no results. Everyone knew that someone must be operating secretly, but no one had any evidence for the problem, especially now that the emperor’s princes were not present, no one could tell. After four, five or six, in the end we had to have people step up their investigation.
The others all retreated, but Duke Dingguo was the last one.
Seeing everyone retreating, Duke Dingguo suddenly knelt down to Emperor Zongwen and shouted: "I am guilty, please forgive me!"
There was no emotion or anger on Emperor Zongwen's face. He sat high behind the throne and asked calmly: "I don't know what crime Ling Aiqing is guilty of."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is really guilty, Wei Chen..." Duke Dingguo seemed to be a little embarrassed. He looked up at Emperor Zongwen who was sitting on the high throne, and finally made up his mind and said, "My second uncle, Wei Chen, I have been with the Queen Mother these days. The empress is so close that I am worried about you..."
He didn't finish what he said, but all the meaning was expressed in it. Dingguo Gongfu is the Queen Mother's natal family, and it is appropriate to be close to the Queen Mother. But the mention of Dingguo Gongfu at this time, and at such a delicate time, is really shocking. Had to think a few more rounds.
Duke Dingguo's second uncle was the Queen Mother's biological brother. He was an important figure in Duke Dingguo's palace who supported the Queen Mother's lineage. Some of the important arrangements linking Duke Dingguo's palace and the Queen Mother were all made by him.
"Qing's second uncle is the biological brother of the Queen Mother. It is normal for the two of them to be close to each other. Since your father passed away, the Queen Mother has fewer and fewer close relatives connected by blood. Seeing that your Dingguo Palace and the Queen Mother We are becoming less and less close to her. When I look at her, I feel pity for the Queen Mother."
A smile slowly appeared on Emperor Zongwen's face, as if he was really just a son who was uneasy about his mother's loneliness and loneliness, and he spoke with emotion.
But these words fell into the ears of Duke Ding, and they made him even more determined. Although the Queen Mother was also from the lineage of Duke Ding, she was far from his bloodline. She raised her head firmly: "Your Majesty, my lord. Not long ago, my second uncle has been saying some treacherous words in front of me, about His Highness Prince Ning. On the one hand, I am my second uncle and aunt, and on the other hand, I am also a minister. Your Majesty, please give me a clear explanation."
Duke Dingguo looked at Emperor Zongwen with a troubled face, and there was a sense of loyalty in his eyes, which made people like him very much. He felt that the Duke Dingguo in front of him was really loyal to the emperor, and he did not hesitate to let go of his elders. On one side, in the country and in the world, he has the country first and then the family, and he deserves to be loyal and courageous.
What an emperor likes best is such ministers who devote themselves wholeheartedly to themselves.
"It's really gratifying that Aiqing is so loyal. As for your second uncle, Aiqing should pay more attention to it and don't let anything happen that affects the foundation of your Dingguo Palace for more than a hundred years." Emperor Zongwen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Looking at the expressionless Emperor Zongwen, Duke Dingguo secretly wiped his hands with cold sweat. It seemed that his move was indeed correct. The Queen Mother's changes had long been in the hands of the Emperor. If he had followed suit, If the Queen Mother messes around together, then the century-old foundation of Dingguo Palace may disappear.
At this point, Feng Juexuan also admired Feng Juexuan more and more. He could even guess the emperor's reaction. It was indeed not simple.
At the same time, I was also secretly worried. If the emperor really knew that the Dingguo Palace had been moving between the Queen Mother and him, then the glory and wealth of the Dingguo Palace would be over.
"Go down." Emperor Zongwen waved his hand.
"Yes." Duke Dingguo did not dare to say anything, stood up, bowed and retreated.
"Go back, dear, does Princess Chu still live in your house?" As he walked to the door, Duke Dingguo heard the gentle question from the emperor before he could even lift his legs to leave. He was so excited that he almost tripped over. After he reacted quickly, he stepped a little faster with his right foot to keep up with the previous steps. Then he immediately stopped respectfully, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Rui'er has been staying in Dingguo Duke's Mansion these days."
"Okay, let her go back to the palace later. The boss is not here. There is no one in charge of the palace, and the same goes for the Mo family. Let her help others recuperate. No matter what, she will still be the boss. As a daughter-in-law, how can there be so many things between one and the other? A woman should take humility as her virtue and live a good life."
Emperor Zongwen, who was sitting in a high position, spoke slowly and slowly.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Duke Ding to reply, he waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
Although he had already guessed, Duke Ding's face still trembled with excitement, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, as His Highness King Chu said, he became more respectful and decent at the moment. He knelt down at the door and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Go ahead, the will will come soon." Emperor Zongwen said with a faint smile.
Duke Dingguo retreated slowly, only to get out of the imperial study room, then he breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.
Ling Ruier's matter is finally over!
Ling Rui'er's matter is a major event that weighs heavily on Duke Dingguo's mind. She caused such a big stir and was demoted from a princess to a concubine. This is a scandal that has never happened in the Duke of Dingguo's palace. When I think of this, Ding The Duke's heart ached heavily, and the entire Dingguo Duke's daughter's face was completely lost. Who would dare to marry the Dingguo Duke's daughter from now on.
They also talk about inheriting the family etiquette, talking about a dignified descendant, and a role model for women. If Ling Rui'er really can't regain her position, what kind of face will the daughter of Duke Ding have in the future, and who can marry her? Better, every daughter of the Ling family represents an inseparable force of in-laws when she gets married. The fact that the daughters of the Ling family are not marrying well is a sign of the weakness of the Ling family.
Whenever he thinks of this, Duke Dingguo's heart is on fire.
Unfortunately, regarding Ling Rui'er, the Queen Mother said that she was ill and could not interfere with this matter, otherwise it would arouse the emperor's suspicion. The queen wanted to wait until some time later, saying that Ling Rui'er was too arrogant and the emperor was extremely dissatisfied. Sometimes they said it would make the emperor angry, but no matter which way they said it, Dingguo Gong knew that they were all trying to avoid King Chu, but they never thought that it would be Dingguo Gong who was ruined in this way. The reputation of the government.
With no choice, Duke Dingguo could only use the methods of King Chu to save himself. If he did not save Ling Rui'er, if the emperor decreed another marriage, even if Ling Rui'er gave birth to a son, she would no longer have the title of legitimate daughter. The legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo became a concubine who was not worthy of publicity. This made Duke Ding how to deal with himself. (To be continued)
