Although the negotiation between the father and son in the study room of the East Palace was smooth, there is no airtight wall in the world. Especially the prince was very angry afterwards and went to the princess to talk to him. Two or three days later, King Chong persuaded King Hui to give up the prince. The news that he had taken the throne of Sun, and that King Huijun was accompanying him to interview the prince, spread to the ears of several big shots in the court.
King Yongyi, who always showed himself to be elegant and kind, almost lost his temper: "This is simply... simply unreasonable?!"
The old prince has experienced six dynasties in his life, and he has successfully survived the change of dynasties. He is used to the wind and rain, but he has never seen anything so unsatisfactory - but no matter how crazy he is, he can't directly interfere with this matter. The thing is that as a member of the former clan, he was able to become a king. Now he is still in a high position in the court because of his position at the beginning. Previously, when he sought the post of Minister of War, it could be said that he got the hint from the prince to help his son-in-law. If he were to seriously roll up his sleeves and encourage his son-in-law to fight for the position, not to mention the prince's reaction, Emperor Zhaode would never let him go!
The old emperor was born in the army, so don't be too decisive in killing!
King Yongyi doesn’t want to get into trouble with this!
Besides, in Prince Hui's mind, his direct brothers are not comparable to his father-in-law - after all, he, who regards his brothers as brothers and women as clothes, doesn't even pay much attention to his wife, let alone his wife's biological father? It’s not like he’s his own father! As for his own biological father, the prince, wasn't he also very angry this time because he was doting on his younger brother
Therefore, King Yongyi could only reveal the matter to his daughter: "If it is not convenient for my father to come forward, you can only rely on yourself!"
Of course Princess Huijun vomited blood when she heard the news: "Jiang Yashuang is such a shameless thing!!!"
It’s basically a plan to wipe out the entire household, okay? ! The prince simply didn't agree, otherwise the matter would have ended right here!
"There is already a gap between the empress and Princess Chongjun. If Prince Chongjun succeeds to the throne and loves Princess Chongjun, how will the empress deal with herself in the future?" Wet nurse Zhu's mother was also worried, "But our county prince is so stupid that he actually I was coaxed into agreeing to such a thing by Prince Chong! I don’t know if it’s too late to persuade him now?”
If it weren't for the prince's efforts to promote him, and Prince Hui's consistent performance, there would be no hope of getting a big position!
The results of it
The prince tried his best to support his eldest son, and even his youngest son was so cruel that he suppressed him again and again. The eldest son actually helped his youngest son to dismantle him as a father. It really makes my heart hurt to think about it!
"It's too late and it's not possible!" Princess Huijun slapped the table, "My husband is not in the house today. Go and call Aunt Gu and the others!"
Princess Huijun usually didn't like her concubines very much, even Gu Weina, who was not born under her. Today's situation of calling them all together was unprecedented.
Therefore, the people who were called out, including Gu Grace, were very frightened.
After all, it’s not a secret that King Huijun respects his parents; it’s also not a secret that the princess hates concubines and even directly instigates her daughters-in-law to crush their concubines to death—even though some of them are currently liked by King Huijun very much, but Princess Huijun If they suddenly go crazy and want them to die... If Prince Hui doesn't come back in time, they will definitely die!
Fortunately, after Princess Huijun called everyone together, she ordered the place to be cleared. She looked around at everyone, and did not put on an expression like "I've tolerated you for a long time. You should be smart enough to die yourself and leave a whole body." Instead, she spoke slowly. He said: "Come here today, I have something big to tell you!"
"May I ask your Majesty, what is it?" The concubines were so frightened that they all made up their mind to say less and make fewer mistakes, so that after the princess said it, there was silence, and she actually became cold. After waiting for a while, it was Gu Grace again. After thinking about it for a while, I praised it.
Princess Huijun suppressed her anger and said coldly: "I guess you have heard some rumors about the government and the public these days! However, you also know your husband's nature, and he is most filial! So, before After two days of in-depth talks between Prince Chong and her husband, the husband said that he did not want to block Prince Chong’s way... "
She paused for a moment when she said this - as expected, she saw that all the concubines, including Gu Wanna, were first shocked, then angry, and then furious: "Your Majesty, is this true?!"
"That's right!" Princess Huijun sneered, but what she said was, "We women should obey our father at home and our husbands when we get married! Since your husband has made such a decision, of course we will follow it! So in the future, if If someone is trying to sow discord in front of you, don't be confused! You must know that your husband has always loved Prince Chong. If you offend Prince Chong, and you blame him, don't blame me, the princess, for not feeling sorry for you... I know. Yet?!"
"... Got it!" The concubines responded with ugly faces one by one - can their faces not be ugly? Although there is a mother-in-law like a princess, no matter how favored they are as concubines, they still live in trepidation, fearing that the princess will clear up her son's backyard if she wants to commit suicide. But the prince's favor for Prince Hui allowed them to see a glorious road to heaven - if they walked on this road, they would be the empresses of each palace. This was a good thing that they could not even dream of before, let alone think about it!
How many days did it take for this hope to arise? It's about to be destroyed!
At this moment, even the most wealthy Gu Wanna's face turned livid: "Jiang Yadan likes the new and hates the old very much. If Chu Yitong hadn't come here, the princess would have hated the concubine's grandchildren and didn't want them to disturb the young step-in-law's life. I’m newly married, and I don’t want Chu Yitong to be known as neglecting his concubine’s children, so I have no chance of getting in!”
"Even though I have raised Jiang Yadan's group of concubine children with conscientious teaching after entering the family - after all, I will never be able to win the eyes of a princess who only looks at concubines! I can only settle it in this life. Being a concubine in the prince's palace is not the same as being a neglected one in the harem. A concubine is nothing more than a good or bad name... her life is not the same!"
"But to Shan'er, that's a huge difference!"
According to the system that Great Qin inherited from Qian Rui, the legitimate daughter of a county prince was granted the title of county lord, and the concubine's daughter was granted the title of county monarch - but in the young Great Qin, no concubine of a county prince has been officially canonized yet.
The reason is simple: Queen Tao fell ill before Emperor Zhaode ascended the throne. He barely managed to survive the ceremony, and has been recuperating in Zishen Palace - Feng Yinjiao and the Crown Princess are in charge. The Crown Princess is famous for hating concubines, and she doesn't even bother to pay attention to her own grandchildren and granddaughters, let alone other people's families.
Judging from the age of the Crown Princess and her health condition, Gu Wanna desperately estimated that her daughter might not be canonized before she leaves the cabinet! Without canonization, even if Jiang Huishan is the biological daughter of Prince Hui, she is just an ordinary noble lady after all!
What's more, although she can still be called young and beautiful, she is no longer fresh to Prince Hui. The last time she served Prince Hui was several months ago!
And Jiang Huishan is only five years old this year - by the time she reaches the age to talk about marriage, Gu Wanna is sure that she will have been forgotten by King Huijun!
With the previous example of Jiang Huizhu's marriage, Gu Wanna can imagine Jiang Huishan's future treatment, which is probably not much different from that of her half-sister. Under such circumstances, no matter how scheming Gu Wegna is, she is not sure that she can get her daughter married!
After all, outstanding people are either capable themselves or have capable elders standing behind them, or even both. Gu Weanna can scheme, but others can’t? In this government and the public, in which year and month, whose family does not have many girls who need to find a suitable husband? Outstanding talents have always been looked down upon by countless people and fought for by all means. A girl who has no father's favor, no title, and no support from her maternal family, what can she use to compete with others? !
"Qiu Yilan's success is just a special case after all - her charming appearance is destined to be something that ordinary people will not be able to have in this life. Even if she was born in the countryside, she will succeed sooner or later! What's more, although she was mistreated by her uncle because of her parents' death and her grandfather's illness, But not to mention her background, which was higher than that of Jiang Yashuang at that time, just because she was the legitimate daughter of the first wife of the King of Xihe, even if she fell into decline, the fact that she was a descendant of the Qiu Ruan family would always be there!" Gu Wanna was in pain! He thought, "Not to mention her brother Qiu Jinglan, who lives by name, is still her supporter to this day!"
"So if Jiang Yadan doesn't ascend the throne, it's hard to say anything about Shan'er's future unless a miracle happens!"
If it were Jiang Yadan who ascended the throne - it has been a system since ancient times for the emperor's daughter to be granted the title of princess. Even if the current crown princess was still alive at that time, there would be no way to stop her. After all, this represents the face of the emperor!
And if Jiang Huishan becomes a princess, even if Gu Grace falls out of favor, it doesn't matter - a golden branch and jade leaf is a golden branch and jade leaf, and if she is no longer favored, she will still be the daughter of the Supreme! Not to mention anything else, just because this dynasty copied the benefits of the imperial daughter from Qian Rui, Gu Weina can rest assured that her daughter will be safe for the rest of her life!
"We must find a way!" The pros and cons of whether Jiang Yadan ascends the throne or not are clear at a glance. What else does Gu Wegna have to hesitate? If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop! So after Princess Huijun finished speaking and sent everyone away, she followed the crowd outside. When no one noticed her, she ducked into the flowers and hurried back to Chu Yitong's yard after the others had gone away.
After being led to the flower hall by Zhu's mother, she saw that a new pot of tea had just been served - obviously Chu Yitong had expected that she would come back, and even the tea had been prepared in advance.
"What are you doing here?" Chu Yitong's thoughts were clear, but he still pretended to be confused. Gu Weanna knew it well, and after saluting, she solemnly said: "My dear, the king loves his brothers, and the women in our backyard should not talk too much! But my dear, please think about it, this brotherly love cannot exceed the righteousness between father and son, right?" The prince has high hopes for the prince, but the prince is holding back because of his respect for the prince. Doesn't this hurt the prince's heart? "
Chu Yitong sneered inwardly: "This Gu family is indeed the apple of the eye of the former Guangyang Palace. She is clearly unhappy that her husband was persuaded by that boy Jiang Yashuang's few words to come to his side, yet she still speaks in such a high-sounding way!"
But she also knew that this was necessary - otherwise she had summoned all the concubines just now with the purpose of letting them know that Chongjun Prince's Palace wanted to end their dream of becoming queens, so why did they do so under the pretext of "We are all Huijun Princes"? "Women, want to advance and retreat with Prince Hui"
The crime of instigating a fight between royal brothers is something they cannot bear!
So he nodded along with her words: "What you said is not unreasonable! It's just a matter between their brothers, I'm afraid we women can't get in on it?"
"Your Majesty, maybe you can say this to the prince..."
When Gu Wanna gave Chu Yitong advice, Qiu Yilan was frowning and complaining to her husband in the Chongjun Palace: "You and Bage are just talking about it, why are you dragging Bage to go to your father? This is not to ask for permission from your father. Are you scolding me?”
My husband has always been smart, why is he so stupid now
