His Majesty the Emperor didn't know for a while that he was about to lose his daughter. Right now, he was standing outside the city on the only way to Sujiazhuangzi.
Originally, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to use that old-fashioned way of striking up a conversation—his carriage was "broken", so he borrowed Su Qiaorong's carriage. But before coming, Shen Guifei who learned of his plan mercilessly laughed at him.
"If you don't know how to flirt with girls, just take a rest, you're free to use this method that was outdated 800 years ago." Shen Yuqing sneered.
Thinking of Concubine Shen's arrogant appearance, the veins on His Majesty's forehead twitched, forcing himself to ignore that woman.
In the distance, in the direction of Huaijing City, a carriage is gradually approaching.
Sitting next to the coachman was a woman who looked familiar in her thirties. Fu Yanjun narrowed his eyes slightly, and remembered that this was Su Qiaorong's personal maid. Three years ago, she vowed not to marry, and stayed by Su Qiaorong's side to serve her.
He is only twenty-four or five years old, but he looks much older. It is obvious that the life with Su Qiaorong at her husband's house was not comfortable.
Fu Yanjun remembered that this maid was very considerate and respectful, even the Queen Mother was full of praise for her. In the past, when she served in the palace, her food and clothing expenses were only one level lower than that of the master. At that time, she was still young and beautiful, very seductive.
Time wears people down.
The carriage gradually approached, and the woman saw Fu Yanjun standing by the side of the road, and was slightly taken aback, as if she also felt that Fu Yanjun looked familiar.
The next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and quickly lifted the curtain behind her, turned her head and whispered to the people in the carriage: "Miss, it seems to be a young master outside."
The person in the carriage was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Stop."
The driver didn't know what was going on, so he stopped the car according to the order. The woman got out of the car and carefully helped the people in the car to get out of the car.
"My servant, Mo Xia, has met the young master." The woman saluted the emperor generously.
Fu Yanjun just stared at Su Qiaorong, and waved casually to make Moxia stand up by herself.
"Sister." Fu Yanjun called softly.
Su Qiaorong smiled slightly, as beautiful and gentle as before: "Mr. Yan, I haven't seen you for many years."
Back then, one year during the Lantern Festival, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to her mysteriously, dragged her to sneak out of the palace through the corner gate of the East Palace, and dragged her to avoid the palace people. Just because she said that she wanted to see what the Lantern Festival in the capital was like.
Since she was a child, she received the strict education of the Su family, and she didn't have many opportunities to go out. Her body is not strong enough for her to run around, and she has been raised much better in the palace. Otherwise, she might not be able to survive the hardships of her husband's family.
That year on Lantern Festival, she and Fu Yanjun dressed up as siblings to watch the lanterns, and Mo Xia called her eldest lady and him young master, as if they were really a family. This memory was as beautiful as a dream to her.
"Are you waiting for me here on purpose?" Su Qiaorong's smile deepened, "Go and sit in my village."
Fu Yanjun was a little cautious: "I won't cause you any trouble?"
If the body of Heli is close to a man, it is inevitable that he will be gossiped about.
Su Qiaorong shook her head slowly: "Everyone in Zhuangzi belongs to me."
She is not a flower in a greenhouse. Although the method of managing servants was learned from the empress dowager after entering the palace, it is enough to deal with the group of guys under her hand. Otherwise, for all these years in her husband's family, she was afraid that her dowry would have been taken away by her husband's family long ago, and the manager of the village would definitely be bought by her husband's family.
Hearing that there would be no problem, Fu Yanjun was relieved. Sit in the Su family's carriage with peace of mind and rush to the Su family's Zhuangzi.
From then on, Fu Yanjun always found some time to meet Su Qiaorong. No one can hide this matter from anyone, but it can't be hidden from the other three of the Big Four in the palace. Concubine Shen and Empress Fu pretended not to know about it, and every time he went out, he would help cover up. The empress dowager didn't care, but it took a short time to find out.
After everyone greeted the queen mother that day, she asked the others to leave first, leaving only Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui.
"Is the emperor going to see Qiaorong?" The empress dowager hit a straight ball.
Concubine Shen Gui didn't know her attitude towards Su Qiaorong for the time being, so she cautiously did not speak. On the other hand, the Empress was very calm and nodded: "Su Qiaorong doesn't come out very often, and he won't miss it. Every time he goes back to 'encounter'."
The Queen Mother chuckled: "This really doesn't look like something he can do."
Being so thick-skinned made her feel very fresh.
She sighed: "If this kid had been so bold back then, he wouldn't have missed so many years."
"Back then, I was afraid that the first emperor would not agree to him marrying a daughter from the Su family." Empress Fu frowned slightly.
Not only the first emperor, the situation of seizing the heir was severe at that time, and no one else would allow the prince to have such a prominent wife family.
The queen mother shook her head: "At that time, he kept me a secret. If it wasn't like this, I would have helped him stop Qiaorong's girl's marriage first. Let him marry Qiaorong when I have a chance in the future."
In this way, the two of them will not miss so many years and make Su Qiaorong suffer so many grievances for nothing.
"Speaking of which, it's still my fault." The queen mother said with some guilt, "I didn't find anything tricky about Qiaorong's marriage."
At that time, Qixue fell ill suddenly, and the queen mother looked after her son and daughter, and she was a little out of control. The Su family took the opportunity to choose a marriage for Su Qiaorong. It looked magnificent, but it was actually rotten inside. However, the queen mother hastily asked people to check the situation of Chafu's house, and the time was short, so she didn't find any problems inside, so she didn't stop Su Qiaorong from marrying him.
How did they know that this family was so ruthless.
Concubine Shen drank tea in silence, after all, these past events had nothing to do with her, and she was not very interested. For Fu Qiushui's sake, she only offered to help, otherwise, it was none of her business.
The queen mother didn't say much when she saw this, she just said: "I won't stop you two, but I have to ask clearly what your plan is. Yan Jun wants Su Qiaorong to be his wife, but now is not the time."
His Majesty the emperor wants his sweetheart to be the queen, but now the queen is still occupied by his own sister.
Originally, his idea was that his sweetheart was already married anyway, and his elder sister didn't like the young talent he liked, so he might as well marry him and make a sacrifice for his elder sister, lest her elder sister marry into a pit of fire. Now that his wife is free again, he has to think about the future of himself and his sweetheart.
Coincidentally, my sister and Shen Yuqing are together, so my sister probably won't stay in the capital in the future.
The Empress Dowager probably knew it in her heart, and now she just asked one more question to get an accurate answer.
When this question was mentioned, Concubine Shen immediately regained her spirits: "My idea is to take Qiushui out of Huaijing after the cooperation with the emperor is completed. The world is vast and the earth is vast, and you can go everywhere. It just so happens that Qiushui also wants to go out and have a look."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Fu Qiushui: "What do you think?"
She hadn't told the other party about this before, because she hadn't figured out the specific rules yet. Moreover, it is still early.
After hearing this, Fu Qiushui had no objection. Not only that, but she was also happy in her heart, and smiled at Concubine Shen.
The imperial concubine received a knowing blow, and immediately leaned over, clutching her chest, wanting to steal something.
Then it was pushed away by - simply.
Concubine Shen: "..."
"It doesn't matter whether Yuqing and I cheat our lives or let them out of the palace, what do you think, Empress Dowager?" Fu Qiushui looked at the empress dowager.
The queen mother put down her hand covering her eyes, pretending that she hadn't done anything, with a serious face: "That's very good, when the time comes, Mr. Yan will marry someone back as his successor. However, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the capital again."
Concubine Shen waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, I will change my appearance. Besides, we are traveling outside, if we visit every place carefully, I am afraid that it will take several years to visit Jiangnan alone. What year and month, I am afraid that even acquaintances will not recognize us."
After listening, the queen mother thought it made sense, and asked: "Is it really interesting outside?"
Qi Xue ran out for a walk, and the two of them were going to take a walk too. This made the queen mother a little bit excited, and wanted to go for a stroll. It's a pity that no one is with her, and she is too old, and her body may not be able to withstand long-term travel.
Shen Yuqing thought for a while, and said sincerely: "There are many interesting places, but traveling in the mountains and rivers is indeed very frustrating. Many places with beautiful scenery are difficult to reach, and ordinary people will probably die if they go there."
Having said that, the pampered empress dowager immediately gave up her thoughts.
She suddenly felt that it would be good to live in the palace for the elderly.
"Since you young people have your own ideas, the Ai family can rest assured." She rubbed her temples, "Go back and rest, Yanjun and Qixue, I have to rely on you to watch more. One or two , are all worrying.”
"yes."
Shen Yuqing glanced at her thoughtfully. She used to think that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother was just cooperation. The emperor was the queen mother's son, and the queen mother used him to ensure her status and promote her natal family.
Looking at it now, the two of them have lived together in the deep palace for more than ten years, and they still developed a true relationship. At the very least, the Empress Dowager really cared about this fake son, I'm afraid it's no worse than her real son.
Maybe it's because he entrusted his feelings for his son who died young to Fu Yanjun.
"That's right." The Empress Dowager suddenly added, "Tell Yan Jun later, don't worry about me, if the Fu family has done it before, just clean it up."
Shen Yuqing was surprised, the Fu family...has started to make troubles recently
Sitting in the driving car, Fu Qiushui's eyes were slightly cold, and he explained: "The Fu family intends to let the second concubine Fu Xiang enter the palace."
"You really have a big heart." Concubine Shen raised her eyebrows, "A queen and a queen mother have emerged, are you still not satisfied?"
Fu Qiushui snorted softly: "How can you be satisfied? Mr. Yan and I have never helped the Fu family much. The Fu family is in a hurry."
She told Shen Yuqing in detail about the secret game between the Fu family and the royal family.
It turned out that the Fu family helped the queen mother change the civet cat for the crown prince. At that time, the queen mother could only rely on the Fu family and had to let Fu Yanjun use the prince's little power to benefit the Fu family. This kind of behavior directly led to the fact that after Fu Yanjun ascended the throne, several important positions in the court were occupied by the moths of the Fu family, and Fu Yanjun was disgusted all day long.
When Fu Yanjun didn't move them, they would occupy the position and suck blood frantically for profit. When Fu Yanjun warned them, they sent their wives to go to the palace to find the queen mother and queen crying, and they went to Fu's house for help.
Very shameless.
Later, the queen mother simply agreed with the emperor in a fit of anger, and she slowly let go of the palace power and ignored the affairs, and directly handed it over to the queen who had already learned it.
As a result, the empress dowager, who has no rights, is "powerless", and she no longer has to be forced to agree to the unreasonable demands of the Fu family. But the powerful empress is stern and selfless, because she is a "wild species" who only returned to the Fu family in her teens, and has little affection for the Fu family, and does not give the Fu family any favors. But His Majesty the Emperor is a ruthless emperor who "crosses the river and destroys bridges", and he is unwilling to give face to his family.
Now, the group of moths in the Fu family calmed down a bit, and they could only cry to the head of the Fu family. As for the empress dowager and the emperor, there was nothing they could do.
Afterwards, the emperor no longer had to worry about his mother, and could let go of his hands and feet to catch the faults of these people. In the past three years, he managed to kill a few cats, and there were only three or two kittens left who clench their tails and behave as human beings, fearing that they would be swept away too.
At this time, the Fu family couldn't stand it anymore.
They repeatedly hinted at the three big bosses, telling them not to be so ruthless in regards to the Fu family's contribution to Conglong. But the emperor didn't care about them at all, and the queen mother put on a gesture of "the Ai family only has the honor on the surface, but in fact it is difficult to protect themselves", while the queen just ignored them.
The Fu family was not happy anymore, and felt that the queen mother and queen raised by their family did not care about the family at all. So they thought it over and decided to change someone to blow the pillow wind.
Fu Qiushui is a bastard who came halfway, and she cannot be expected to be loyal to the Fu family, but Fu Xiang, the girl of the second room, grew up in the family. The education she received from birth was to give everything for the family, and this girl also admired her, the emperor's cousin, so it was most suitable for her to go to the palace to win over the emperor.
As for whether the cousins serving a husband together will make the empress angry, it is not something the Fu family is willing to consider. Since you are ruthless, I will rest. Who is afraid of whom
Shen Guifei rolled her eyes after hearing this: "Stupid."
He expects to rely on women to control men, and he doesn't look to see if that man is a person who loves beauty and doesn't love country.
A qualified Ming Jun like Fu Yanjun, how could he be tricked by these idiots? Even if he really loves beauties more, people will still love Su Qiaorong.
But Su Qiaorong doesn't know how to help the family profit, she is a considerate and sensible woman, so she can't do such a thing.
"Let them jump around." Fu Qiushui straightened his clothes, "The Queen Mother specifically mentioned this, it should be that the Fu family begged her, and she is not easy to do."
It is estimated that although the request made by the Fu family is excessive, the queen mother cannot shirk it, so I had to say this in advance to let the emperor not be overwhelmed. It's also a promise to the emperor. She has no objection if she is upset and tosses the Fu family hard.
"I thought the queen mother would put the family first." After all, the noble daughters of everyone in this era are basically brainwashed in this way since childhood.
Fu Qiushui sneered: "Then the family must not go too far."
Back then, the Fu family ignored her pleadings and insisted on marrying their eldest daughter into the royal family and giving an old man who was over fifty years old as his successor. Looking at the late emperor's group of princesses and princes who were older than her, how could the queen mother have no grudges in her heart
Later, her own son was tormented to death by those adult princes under the emperor's disregard. She not only hated the former emperor and the princes, but also hated the Fu family.
The Fu family forced her to act like this, even though they later helped her get a fake son to come in so that she would not fall out of favor. But the Fu family's starting point for doing this is definitely not for her, but for the family.
The Empress Dowager is unwilling to do anything for this greedy and shameless family, she has been hurt enough by the Fu family. Maybe at this moment, she still hopes that the Fu family will go to hell to be buried with her son, and let her help the Fu family? Go dreaming.
After returning to Fengyi Palace, the empress stepped back and told Shen Yuqing these old things. In the end, she also said: "I heard Mr. Yan say that not long after he entered the palace, he happened to bump into his elder brother who was several years older than the empress dowager molesting the empress dowager. The first emperor, you should I heard about him, he was very lustful, and later he was beaten to death by the furious third prince because he insulted the third younger sibling."
The corners of Shen Yuqing's mouth twitched slightly, and she nodded.
She had heard of it, and at the time she thought it was inconceivable that the third prince was so brainless, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't beat his brother to death himself. Shen Yuqing felt that he was a demon, and it was very likely that he had fallen into someone else's way.
"It's true." Empress Fu said lightly, "He also molested the Queen Mother, and was given a chronic poison that made people crazy."
"Could it be that the eldest prince's matter was also..." designed by the Queen Mother
Fu Qiushui nodded, then shook his head again: "He also has the same idea in his heart." It's just that he didn't find a chance to do it before, and the Queen Mother just pushed it.
Shen Yuqing couldn't help sighing, no wonder the Queen Mother hated the Fu family so much. Not to mention being forced to marry an old man, this old man has a group of crazy sons. If she were the queen mother, all these men would have been castrated, and then they would have chopped up their third legs and stuffed them for themselves. eat.
However, after her son became the emperor, she was able to bear hardships and hardships. You don't have to do anything every day, and you can be a wealthy idler with peace of mind. Except for the inconvenience of going out of the palace, you can do whatever you want, and live a very comfortable life.
The Empress Dowager herself is not a liking to move around, she thinks it is good to retire in the palace, and she is not going to go out of the palace to wander around.
After Fu Yanjun came back at night, Fu Qiushui told him what the queen mother wanted.
Fu Yanjun frowned slightly: "I see, I will go to see the queen mother tomorrow."
No matter what method the Fu family wants to use to send Fu Xiang in, he should talk to the Queen Mother first, and just dismantle the tricks as he sees them.
The emperor actually already had some clues in his heart, and probably guessed the Fu family's tricks. Since he was seeking to be in front of the Queen Mother, if nothing else happened, he should want Fu Xiang to live in the Shoukang Palace first on the grounds of "serving the Queen Mother", and then have a long-term relationship with him, so that he can be included in the harem logically.
This trick is also very common, a common trick used by the empress dowager's niece to enter the palace.
The next day he went to see the queen mother and asked, and it was true.
"Let her enter the palace." His Majesty the Emperor didn't take such a woman seriously, "I want to see what she wants to do."
The queen mother nodded slightly: "Then I can rest assured."
On March 17th, Miss Fu Xiang, the second concubine daughter of the Fu family, went to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.
In the harem, the concubines were tearing up the veil, gloating over other misfortunes.
Although there is an extra relationship in the palace, which makes them gnash their teeth, but... I believe there are people who are more angry than them, and they calm down after such a comparison. Let's see how the queen and concubine react, I believe they will not be disappointed.
Sure enough, that afternoon, they heard that the imperial concubine had killed the Shoukang Palace, and "accidentally" spilled hot tea, causing blisters on the arms of the cousin of the Fu family.
"I already know that Concubine Shen is the one who does great things." Mrs. Shu, who is about to lift the ban, smiled meaningfully, "The scars left by burns are not easy to get rid of!"
If there are scars on the body, it is not convenient to enter the palace. During the general election, the first round of screening will check whether there are any scars on the body, and those with scars will be directly brushed out.
Concubine Xi was not so optimistic, she said to Liu Zhaoyi: "The Empress Dowager has a lot of good medicines, and His Majesty the Emperor will give medicines for the Empress Dowager's sake, this scald really does not necessarily leave scars."
"Really?" Liu Zhaoyi has kept a low profile since she suffered a big loss last time and was almost used as a messenger. Hearing this, she also learned to question instead of believing everything she heard.
Concubine Xi doesn't care, it's a good thing for Liu Zhaoyi to have some brains. What's more, it doesn't matter if there are so many, she will still be played around by her.
"That's natural." Concubine Xi said affirmatively, "The queen mother kept her just to let her enter the palace. How could Shen Yuqing be messed up halfway? Even if this Fu Xiang really has no hope of entering the palace, there are still few women of the Fu family who are of the right age. Is it? Another one is, this second one, but it won't be cleaned up so easily."
Liu Zhaoyi also thought about it: "Sister Xipin is still smart, the queen mother should be unhappy this time, right? Concubine Shen slapped her in the face openly, she will not spoil Concubine Shen so much in the future."
Liu Zhaoyi really hoped to see Shen Yuqing deflated, after all she was stabbed at Shen Yuqing last time as a gun. She didn't know if the black hand behind the scenes was really Yu Zhaoyi who was punished, but she could openly vent her anger on Shen Yuqing, not to mention that Manchen in Jianjia Palace had embarrassed her.
Concubine Xi sneered: "What favor? The Queen Mother really dotes on her, how could she even bring a niece into the palace?"
She, Shen Yuqing, and the Queen Mother are not related, so why should the Queen Mother treat her well? Instead, let the serious niece and the queen not get close? Isn't it for Shen Yuqing to use her niece as a shield!
But now another niece has been brought into the palace, probably because the queen mother is dissatisfied with the queen.
