Once the daughter of the Xiao family really married King Jingjun, would the Zhennan Palace be willing that the daughter of the Xiao family was just a mere princess of the county
of course not!
The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will definitely help King Jingjun find the crown prince!
All civil and military men in the court knew this well, and Han Lingfu naturally figured it out, and his heart sank little by little. The eldest brother, the second brother and himself already have concubines, and Xiao Fei is absolutely impossible to be the side, so among the four adult princes, the only fifth brother who has not married a wife has become the best candidate!
Could it be that after all my painstaking efforts and planning, I ended up making wedding dresses for others? !
Han Lingfu clenched his fists tightly, with bulging veins on the back of his hands. He is not reconciled! He finally pushed the fifth emperor brother to a desperate situation, how could he make him rise again!
At this time, the emperor above said thoughtfully: "Cheng Aiqing, this matter is postponed, let me think about it for a while, and then make a decision!"
Then, the emperor announced his retirement.
Although the emperor hadn't made a decision yet, Han Lingfu's heart sank to a trough, and the royal party of Gong County looked at each other in blank dismay. Some people had already begun to regret whether they stood in line too early.
Looking back at history, the seizure of the heirloom often takes a turn for the worse. No one can be sure which prince will have the last laugh until the final imperial decree is issued!
The early dynasty ended in this weird atmosphere, and all the civil and military officials went out of the palace and returned to their residences.
For the next few days, the emperor did not express his position. The capital city seemed to be calm, but the undercurrent was already raging. It is unknown when this hypocritical calm will be torn apart.
Three days later, another shocking news spread among the royal capital—
Concubine Chen of Gongjun was seriously ill and died suddenly!
The news spread in the blink of an eye, causing ripples in the royal capital. After hearing the news, all the governments had complicated thoughts.
A series of white silks had been hung inside and outside the Prince Gong's Mansion, one could tell at a glance that there was a funeral in the Prince Gong's Mansion.
The atmosphere in the county prince's mansion was strange and dignified, with a sense of bleakness that everyone was in danger of, especially the main courtyard, even the servants in the mansion walked around, avoiding it for fear of being late.
Only Xinghuiyuan seems to be isolated from the world, and it is still so quiet and elegant.
At this moment, Bai Muxiao was sitting on the Arhat bed in the Dongci room, glanced coldly out of the window, and said mockingly: "In just a few short years, he killed two concubines violently, he is not afraid of others saying that he Ke wife!"
Sitting beside Bai Muxiao was a boy about one year old wearing an indigo thin jacket. The boy looked handsome, and sat shyly and quietly on the Arhat's bed, looking at Bai Muxiao for a while, and looking out the window following Bai Muxiao's gaze for a while.
The corner of Bai Muxiao's mouth curled up in a disdainful arc. When she thought that the man she once adored was so despicable, she felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed something dirty!
"Han Lingfu, he wants to be a prince, he is crazy, thinking that this will make the eldest girl of the Zhennan Palace marry off?!" Bai Muxiao said while looking away, and looked up at the person sitting on her right. A middle-aged woman in a mahogany armchair.
It was a woman in her early forties, wearing a simple and elegant lake-colored dress. At first glance, she looked like a nurse in charge, but after a second look, she sat there calmly, elegantly and calmly, by no means an ordinary woman. woman.
She is Ayim.
Ayimu picked up the white porcelain teacup and said calmly, "He's just a cornered beast."
The rabbit is in a hurry and wants to bite people, not to mention Han Lingfu, an ambitious man who wants to be a big treasure!
Ayimu drank tea slowly, half-lidded his eyes to hide the sharpness in them.
On the way to the king's capital, A Dachi had told her in detail that Kui Lang's son was named Han Weijun, and now he was raised in the Gongjun palace as the son of Prince Gong. In the addiction of cream and ointment, they have to be subject to their Baiyue
On February 22, Ayimu arrived in the capital, but she didn't come to find Bai Muxiao immediately, but stayed in the inn for a while, and learned about the dynamics of the capital, especially the palace of Gongjun. Condition!
Aimu originally wanted to bring his grandson Han Weijun back to Baiyue, and in the name of his grandson, regain control of the Baiyue regime, but he did not expect the situation in the capital to be like this—
Duke Gong Han Lingfu is only one step away from being crown prince!
Ayimu's heart was moved. Once Han Lingfu "unfortunately" died suddenly after ascending the throne, then his grandson Han Weijun would be granted the throne as a matter of course. By then, Dayu would belong to Baiyue!
Thinking of this possibility, Ayimu's blood was excited.
She is determined to stay in King Dayu and plan well!
Afterwards, Ayimu managed to sneak into Prince Gong's mansion and came directly to see Bai Muxiao.
Ayimu openly and honestly revealed her identity to Bai Muxiao and the purpose of her coming to the capital this time. Just as Ayimu expected, Bai Muxiao immediately agreed to cooperate with her.
Ayimu has investigated Bai Muxiao a long time ago, knowing her background and experience, she can get to this point, she can be ruthless to give birth to another man's child and raise it under her husband's name, isn't it? A person who is content with the status quo and content with the ordinary.
For Bai Muxiao's courage to use whatever means to achieve his goals, Ayimu still appreciates it a little. Today's Baiyue doesn't need a weak national mother.
These two have a common goal and hit it off!
Ayimu put down the teacup, and said: "Based on what I know about the Zhennan Palace, Xiao Fei might not be willing to be a stepmother." A stepwife who needs to be a concubine to the original spouse! The Crown Princess Nangong Yue probably wouldn't agree either.
Bai Muxiao nodded slightly, the sarcasm in her eyes grew stronger, and she thought: Yes, and, besides, that is a man who has lost two first wives and countless concubines in the house!
That's still a man who turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone, and can kill the person next to him at any time!
Thinking about it, Bai Muxiao couldn't help touching her slender neck. The feeling of almost suffocating was like a nightmare last night. At that moment, she really thought she would die; at that moment, she seemed to feel My own soul almost floated out of her body
Didn't expect her to die!
Unexpectedly, she survived. In this case, she must make Han Lingfu pay the price!
The corner of Bai Muxiao's mouth revealed a hint of sternness, and said in a deep voice, "Compared to this, King Jingjun is the son of the emperor, has no wife, and no side concubine, so it stands to reason that he is more suitable to marry Xiao Fei."
"Whether it's Han Lingfu or Han Lingfan, whoever can marry the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace will be the future prince!" Ayimu said calmly, his dark eyes shining with wisdom.
Bai Muxiao was silent, with a trace of unwillingness in her heart.
Of course she wished that Han Lingfu would die immediately, and of course she didn't want Han Lingfu to marry Xiao Fei as he wished, but reason told her that for them, only Han Lingfu became the prince and then ascended the throne, so she Only the things planned with Ayimu have a chance of winning!
For the "great cause", she had to wait patiently, waiting for Han Lingfu to ascend the throne before letting him die!
Thinking about it, Bai Muxiao's eyes became colder and colder, like the ten thousand year frost.
Ayimu naturally noticed the subtle changes in Bai Muxiao's expression, but he remained calm, with a leisurely smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth. She doesn't care what petty thoughts Bai Muxiao has in her heart, as long as the other party knows how to put the overall situation first!
People always have to have a thought in order to move forward!
Little Dongci was silent for a moment, only the sound of the boy swinging the rattle, "Boom! Boom! Boom"
Bai Muxiao frowned, and was about to reprimand, when she heard the sound of curtains being raised, and Bihen, who was wearing a blue-blue beanie, walked into the room quickly, not daring to look at Bai Muxiao and Ah Yimu bent her knees and said: "Concubine side, there is a message from the main courtyard, please concubine take the son to cry."
The corner of Bai Muxiao's mouth curled into a cruel smile. She got up and stroked her dress, and at the same time ordered the nanny to hug Han Weijun, and said politely, "Mr. Excuse me."
Bai Muxiao left, and Ayimu watched her and the child leave, the smile on his lips deepened, and his eyes sparkled.
There is an old saying: good fortune lies in misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing. If the planning is proper, perhaps Baiyue's biggest crisis will become Baiyue's biggest opportunity, and let Baiyue's territory cover the Central Plains!
For the ancestors of Baiyue, this was almost an unattainable dream, but it seems to be within sight!
The Xinghui courtyard fell silent following the departure of Bai Muxiao and Han Weijun, while in the main courtyard, there were cries and wailing sounds, filled with a deep sense of sadness.
Three days after the coffin stopped, it was time for the funeral ceremony of Princess Gong, and Chen's coffin was sent out of the county mansion under the escort of a team of people.
All the servants in the mansion are whispering to themselves, this ordinary commoner has only been suspended for three days, even if Mrs. Chen is the successor concubine, she is of noble status, not to mention seventy-seven forty-nine days, she can always afford to be suspended for seven days Bar? !
Han Lingfu, who was at the forefront of the spirit sending team, didn't notice it. He just felt relieved, wishing that the team would move as fast as possible, so that he could quickly get rid of the cumbersome burden of Mrs. Chen.
The Chen family's father, Chen Rentai, has been trapped in southern Xinjiang since last year. His life and death are unknown. He may have been buried under the butcher knife of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion long ago. However, the Chen family's brothers have mediocre qualifications and are unlikely to become great talents.
To him, the Chen family was useless.
What's more, this Chen family has nothing to do, and she is coquettish and domineering. He has long been tired of her!
Letting the Chen family continue to occupy the position of the concubine is simply a vegetarian meal, but the Chen family is his own county princess, and her name is on the jade. There's only one way left to go—
The only way is to let her "make room" for Miss Xiao! ..
"rustle rustle"
A gust of cool spring breeze blew, blowing the white paper money flying all over the sky like goose feathers and heavy snow, and also messed up Han Lingfu's hair. A few strands of blue hair on his cheeks fluttered wantonly, and those black eyes were as deep as a deep pool. He is so cold that he has no emotion, only plans and calculations.
Now that he has no concubine and is valued by his father, compared to the fifth emperor's younger brother, his father will definitely choose him to marry Miss Xiao.
Han Lingfu raised his head and chest high, and a ray of hope flashed in his eyes.
On the day of Princess Gong's funeral, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, layered like thick ink, and I don't know when it will rain violently.
The sudden death of Concubine Gongjun caused some ripples like a spring breeze blowing across the lake. However, it subsided in an instant. From the surface, this incident did not cause any disturbances, but the mansions of the royal capital secretly There was a lot of discussion, no one was a fool, and they all understood what the reason for Chen's sudden "sudden death" at this time was.
Non-toxic and not a husband, King Gong's heart is really cruel enough!
After some sighing, the royal party of Gongjun secretly heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, now that the concubine of Gongjun is vacant, the royal party of Gongjun finally has a chance to compete.
The eyes of all the governments all cast their eyes on the imperial palace, secretly speculating and wondering how the Sacred Heart of that one would choose.
"Ah-"
The emperor in the imperial study seemed to feel something and sneezed.
Seeing this, Eunuch Liu hurriedly served hot tea to the emperor, and respectfully advised the emperor to pay attention to the dragon body.
The emperor took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. He doesn't want to take care of his health, but now that Dayu is in crisis, how can he rest with peace of mind.
"Why-"
The emperor couldn't help but sighed again.
Regarding Cheng Dongyang's proposal, the emperor has been hesitating for several days. Xiao Wu is the legitimate son and has not yet married a wife. Logically speaking, he is the most suitable candidate.
However, Xiaosan's actions recently are quite grand, with the style of a prince, unlike Xiaowu who is too benevolent for a woman. In comparison, he prefers Xiaosan to be the prince
But the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has just reached the age of Ji, and for her, Xiaosan is indeed a bit older.
I don't know if the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will agree to Miss Xiao as his successor
and
In a trance, the emperor gently brushed away the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea soup with the tea cover.
He really didn't want to show weakness to Zhennan Palace.
If he is a majestic Emperor Dayu and bows his knees to the mere vassal king, how will the people of the world think of him as an emperor? !
The emperor picked up the teacup, put it down again, and picked it up again
While hesitating, a servant hurriedly came to report, and there was another military report from Xijiang!
After a while, a travel-stained soldier submitted a three-thousand-mile urgent military report to the imperial case.
The military situation in the military newspaper made the emperor change his face again—
The Southern Border Army defeated the Xiye Army and occupied the west of Feixia Mountain!
For the emperor, this news was like a bolt from the blue, causing chaos in his mind, and he could not recover for a long time.
The emperor looked down at his right hand with a gray face. He still clearly remembered that before his death, the late emperor held his right hand tightly and told him weakly:
"Prince, I have entrusted you with the Great Yu Jiangshan!"
The late emperor's earnest and trusting eyes have always been engraved in the emperor's heart. For so many years, it seems like yesterday.
Jiangshan is the most important thing, and the future will last forever.
The emperor said to himself in his heart, his expression became dignified and determined.
As long as he can hold on to this piece of great wealth, so what if he endures the humiliation for a while!
"Pen and ink serve!"
The sonorous and powerful voice of the emperor echoed in the royal study.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly waited on the side, after a short while of grinding ink and laying paper, the emperor straightened his pen and wrote, and the imperial study was quiet.
An hour later, a still warm imperial decree followed the envoy to leave the royal capital, and hurried to the southern border.
This was the most humiliating imperial decree that the emperor had ever written in his life. It was not so much an imperial decree, but more like a letter to Zhennan King begging for mercy and marrying Xiao Fei.
In the letter, the emperor tactfully stated that he had two grown-up princes, King Gongjun and King Jingjun, and he heard that the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was waiting in his boudoir, and wanted to ask for a good wife for the two princes. Immediately afterwards, the emperor praised Xiao Fei eloquently for being knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous.
The emperor's implication is already obvious, as long as Xiao Fei is willing to marry into the royal family, she will be the future crown princess. No matter whoever is chosen by the Zhennan Palace, the emperor will make him the crown prince!
For a moment, everyone in the royal capital was agitated by the emperor's imperial decree, full of sighs, emotions, and shocks.
But there were also people who watched with cold eyes, such as Princess Yongyang.
Ever since the emperor condemned Lord Han Huai and appointed Han Lingfan as Queen of Jingjun, everything the emperor did made Yong Yang feel cold, and Yong Yang ignored the court situation for a long time until Han Lingfan came in person Find her in the princess mansion
On this day, after the envoys left the capital, En Guogong, Han Lingfan, Nangong Xin and Pei Yuanchen gathered in the mansion of Princess Yongyang.
Pei Yuanchen just rushed back from Southern Xinjiang last night, and now he is talking about what he saw and heard in Southern Xinjiang. Although there are some things he has mentioned in the letter sent to Wangdu, but until now When he said it himself, everyone knew the details and how Xiao Yi defeated the few with more
Everyone is listening intently, with expressions of surprise, suspicion, and sigh
Yong Yang, who was wearing a black dark flowered beanie, sat at the head, staring at Pei Yuanchen in a daze, his lips were slightly pursed, his face seemed expressionless, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Among the few people present, she is the only one who is a real military general. She has experienced many battles, and she has sympathy for Xiao Yi as a military general. The old man was delighted and relieved.
In the past, I and the old Zhennan King followed the late emperor to gallop on the battlefield together, what a joyful enmity, but now that the old man has passed away, only my old bones are left!
The Xiao family had Xiao Yi, and her Han family
Can Han Lingfan become the successor of the Han family? !
Yong Yang looked at Han Lingfan complicatedly, and sighed in his heart.
At this time, I heard Pei Yuanchen finally say: "His Royal Highness, the prince, the Duke, Xiao Shizi personally promised that I will not take the initiative to make a northern expedition." Originally, he was worried that the emperor would provoke Nanjiang again, but he did not expect to wait for him to come to the capital. After that, the situation has changed drastically.
Hearing this, En Guogong heaved a sigh of relief, and Nangong Xin did the same, but most of the other people in the hall still looked dignified, not relieved by Pei Yuanchen's words, the majestic royal family wants to beg for mercy from Nanjiang, how lucky is it? have? !
In the hall, there was a moment of silence.
Duke En Guo seemed to have thought of something, and said with some hesitation: "I heard that the eldest girl in Zhennan Prince's Mansion is excellent in both learning and character."
Yong Yang frowned slightly and looked at En Guogong, half-closed his sharp eyes, and there was an awe-inspiring aura exuding between his descriptions.
She knew what En Guogong meant, but she didn't take it seriously.
Yong Yang said lightly: "Jiang Guogong, you'd better not be too troublesome!"
During the speech, Yong Yang's eyebrows showed a touch of sarcasm, "No matter how good the emperor thinks, it depends on whether the Zhennan Prince's government appreciates it or not!"
The imperial decree of the emperor only made Yong Yang even more disappointed, the emperor actually bullied the weak and feared the strong so far! If it wasn't for the late emperor, if it wasn't for Han Lingfan, a nephew who was barely worthy of support, Yong Yang felt that he was getting old, and he didn't want to care about these messy things in the court anymore.
But En Guogong was a little hesitant, hesitated to speak, and finally did not refute Yong Yang face to face, his eyes sank slightly, his thoughts had drifted away, and even what other people said later did not reach his ears
After returning to Duke Enguo's mansion that day, the first thing Duke Enguo did was to ask someone to inquire about the current situation of Duke Gong's mansion.
That night, the young man in Tsing Yi came back hurriedly with a complex expression and told: "Master Gong, Princess Gongjun is going to have a funeral today."
Hearing this, En Guogong and En Guogong's eldest son in the study couldn't help but look at each other, they both disagreed and said: It's only been three days since the death, Duke Gong's heart must be too anxious!
The little servant bowed his head and continued to report: "My lord, I have inquired about the concierge of the prince's mansion. After hearing that the concubine of Gongjun died suddenly, the king of Gongjun sent all the concubines in the mansion to Zhuangzi. , Only side concubine Bai and side concubine Cui are left." The side concubine is a second-rank imperial order, so naturally she can't deal with it casually, not to mention, side concubine Bai has a son by her side.
En Guogong waved his hand and told the boy to retreat.
The study room was full of solemnity, Duke En Guo frowned and stroked his long beard, as if he was in deep thought, he didn't speak for a while.
After a while, the son of Duke En Guo was the first to say with a complex expression: "Father, Duke Gong has spent so much effort on this marriage. It seems that he is bound to win!"
En Guogong was still silent, he couldn't help thinking of Yong Yang's reminder today.
Are they really doing nothing? !
No matter what, Miss Xiao should be a good match for Prince Jing
Today is different from the past, and now in Dayu, who else can be more expensive than Xiao Fei in the status of a noble woman!
The imperial decree sent by the emperor to the southern border caused the king to be in a turmoil, which could not be calmed down for a long time. Everyone knew who the crown prince was going to be. I am afraid that it would depend on the response of the Zhennan palace to this imperial decree.
