The Noble Consort’s Pet Empress

Chapter 87: ⑧⑦ King Huan

Views:

Leaving aside how His Majesty suppressed the desire to vomit, he opened his eyes and talked nonsense and praised his daughter "the cakes are delicious". Anyway, Princess Qixue vomited as soon as she took a bite, and then slipped out of the imperial study, vowing that she would not enter the palace again within three days, unless her lovely eldest niece gave up the idea of cooking.

According to her understanding of her eldest niece, this little ancestor's heat is at most three days. After three days, other fun things will be discovered, and she will be safe by then.

However, she can go, but the emperor cannot escape.

If I boasted, I would finish the pastry even if I cried. In order to make his little princess happy, he ate up a box of pastries in a daze. As soon as the precious daughter left, I directly poured down a pot of tea, and then suppressed the desire to vomit.

Miss Jinli looked at His Majesty the Emperor sympathetically, and told the other party the news she inquired: "The imperial concubine also tasted it, she spit it out after taking a bite, and threatened Her Majesty, if the princess dares to take it so badly If you give her something to eat, beat her."

So the imperial concubine didn't resist eating the cakes in order to protect her daughter's self-esteem~

His Majesty the Emperor: "..."

Is it okay? !

Unable to be happy allies anymore, His Majesty the Emperor decided to rest in Jianjia Palace for the next three days, and eat three meals a day in Jianjia Palace.

Concubine Shen didn't like to eat sweet and sour dishes, but when His Majesty the Emperor came to Jianjia Palace, he ordered sweets for three meals a day. Shen Guifei ate until her face turned green, she ground her teeth, and sneaked away to Fengyi Palace to eat.

"Why do you bother to hurt each other?" The Empress knocked Concubine Shen on the head with a cat teasing stick.

The grown-up man's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he jumped at the cat teasing stick. It happened that Concubine Shen Gui was lying on the soft couch again, so she was stumped by the adults.

The imperial concubine's face was paralyzed, and she pulled the adult off his forehead, and poked his belly: "Little rascal."

"Miwu." The adult was held by the back of the neck, and suddenly stopped moving, as if he had been tapped.

Concubine Shen found it interesting and put it down. After it pounced forward twice, I stretched out my hand and gently pinched the back of its neck. So the little cat turned into a cat doll again, motionless.

"Don't make trouble with it, be careful of it losing its temper." The empress slapped that paw away, hugged the little cutie into her arms distressedly, and fed it a small dried fish.

The imperial concubine didn't care, she stretched out her hand and tugged at the small dried fish in the adult's arms, but she didn't move, but was threatened by the adult baring her baby teeth.

Super fierce.

"Hey, your temper has improved a lot recently."

Shen Yuqing leaned over to kiss Mao Mao's head, and then was slapped in the face with a paw.

"..."

"Pfft." The empress smiled unkindly.

Shen Guifei gritted her teeth, and stared at her lord. After a while, she snorted and turned her head away.

Don't care about cats and cats.

A month later, the general election began.

The general election this time has actually started long ago. The selection will be carried out outside the capital first, and then sent to Beijing before the Beijing general election in March, where they will participate in the general election in the palace together with the women from Beijing.

In other words, women from other places are "high-quality products" that have been screened layer by layer, and these high-quality products must participate in the plan together with all the beautiful girls in the capital. Speaking of which, the girls in the capital still take advantage, although the capital they face will be more intense, and it is easier to be compared by high-quality products.

However, after all, there are still quite a few good ladies in Beijing. Last time, they were not able to participate in the general election because they were unwell, maybe they were not old enough, or maybe they didn't want to enter the palace. But this time, here they are.

Concubine Shen couldn't help clicking her tongue when she was looking through the roster with the empress.

There are many more people who want to enter the palace this time than last time.

Last time, there were quite a few people who specifically said hello and said they would not enter the palace, but this time there were a lot fewer people who said hello. Quite a few of those who took the initiative to be dismissed last time, this time they tried their best to enter the palace, and they didn't know what they were doing.

"It's just that I don't give up." Empress Fu said lightly.

There are several reasons here.

One is because Mr. Qin, the younger brother of Mrs. Shen's grandma Qin, as the son of the household secretary family, is the number one son-in-law in Beijing. During the general election the year before last, Mr. Qin was not engaged, but now he is already engaged to Princess Xiushan. If they get married within this year, those noble girls will have no chance.

The second is because of Prince Qingping's son, for the same reason as above. Shen Yuxun is still regarded as a class enemy by the noble ladies, envied and hated. However, the wife of the prince never went out alone, either with the prince to protect and accompany her, or the princess with her. In short, she was not allowed to go out of the mansion alone, nor would she leave the mansion alone with Mrs. Liu Shizi.

The third is that Su Qiaoxin, the concubine De, entered the palace last time. At that time, she didn't know what the concubine De had passed on behind her back, which made others think that they would definitely have no chance after Concubine De entered the palace, so they gave up. How could he have thought that Concubine De was not a cinnabar mole in the emperor's heart at all, but just a drop of mosquito blood, which was resolved not long after entering the palace.

Other trivial reasons involved the situation in the front court and the harem. It is roughly that His Majesty the Emperor is now dealing with some deeply hidden moths in the court, and the blood-sucking insects who had been quietly sucking blood suddenly couldn't take it anymore, and urgently needed to send a beauty into the palace to win over His Majesty the Emperor.

Concubine Shen was stunned, and then she suddenly remembered something: "It seemed that Yu Xun was unwell before? Have you seen the imperial doctor?"

The matter of Shen Yuxun's physical discomfort was quite a commotion, and the entire Qingping Palace was in a state of chaos for a long time, and the imperial physician invited wave after wave. Concubine Shen Gui asked a few words, after Man Xing inquired about the news, she said it was all right, she was busy coaxing her son at that time, so she didn't ask any more detailed questions.

"She is pregnant." The empress said helplessly, "The prince and the princess went out of the city to pray and offer incense in the temple that day, and the son is a bookworm. He panicked when he saw his wife was not feeling well. The servants in the mansion did not Find out what is wrong with her, and immediately go to the imperial physician, they see the prince panic like that, they think it is some serious illness."

So young people who have never had children are prone to making jokes.

Concubine Shen nodded sympathetically, before the fake pregnancy, she never thought that getting pregnant would be so troublesome. One should avoid this and one should be careful, it is very annoying, inexperienced people are really blind, even if the child moves in the stomach, they can think that something happened to the child.

"Let's not talk about them." The queen continued to pick up the roster.

She was able to conceive in less than two months after her marriage, Shen Yuxun is indeed lucky, but I don't know if she can break the fate of the Qingping Wang family's single lineage, and at least add a few more little princesses to the Wang Ye's family. I heard that what King Qingping wants most is a daughter, but there is only one son in each generation, and now he is really angry when he looks at his son, and he can't help but feel disgusted.

Shen Yuqing and the empress sat together: "These women are not good-looking, not as good-looking as me."

So daughter-in-law, you should still look at me.

The empress pushed her face away: "Don't make trouble, I still have to arrange a palace for them."

This job could have been decided by the emperor, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to worry about these women very much, so it fell on the head of the empress.

No matter how unhappy Concubine Shen was, she had to take care of things. She snorted softly, and leaned over again: "I'll watch it with you, hurry up and make arrangements for them."

This time, we must pick and choose carefully, and find more reasons to brush down those who are annoying at first glance.

"The young lady from Cao's family is going to enter the palace, so don't mess around." Empress Empress reminded.

Shen Guifei frowned: "Understood."

Opening the album, the next page is a cold beauty. Just looking at the portrait, I feel a gust of cold air rushing towards my face.

"This is?" Shen Yuqing glanced at the small characters next to the portrait, "Prince Huan's younger sister?"

There are no barbarians in the Nanman area, but there is Wang Huan with a different surname. A few generations ago, the emperor wanted to withdraw the domain, but he was afraid that the king with a different surname would turn against him, so he didn't move. This time, Wang with a different surname sent his younger sister to the palace, what was he trying to do

"It doesn't have to be to enter the palace." Fu Qiushui explained, "It's just a general election process. If the princess is not willing to enter the palace, he will choose a wealthy son-in-law in Beijing."

"Let her choose the men in Beijing?" Shen Yuqing raised her eyebrows. Isn't this treatment too good

Empress Fu was speechless for a moment: "How is it possible?"

It's just to give her a chance to discuss marriage. If she is not chosen, or if she is unwilling to choose, then let it go and send the princess back to Nanman.

"Why can't she think about it, don't be her 'princess' in the Nanman area, and come here to make a fuss?"

In her brother's fiefdom, she is also the most honorable woman, do you want any county horses? Even if you want to raise a group of men in the mansion, that's fine. But after entering Beijing, she is a "hostage" under the fence.

The Queen's Empress was well informed and she answered Concubine Shen Gui's doubts.

"This princess has a bad relationship with Prince Huan. She was born after the concubine, and this current Prince Huan is the first wife's son."

It's also a matter of conflict of heirs.

King Huan of the previous generation was a playboy and liked beauties, but he attached great importance to the issue of heirs. He didn't let his concubine have children, he only wanted sons and daughters, so he was injected with sterilization drugs when he entered the concubine's room.

He didn't like the original partner, and after giving birth to the eldest son, she was left behind by him. And the original concubine is a proud and arrogant glass heart. She was originally the daughter of Prime Minister Huan (that is, the prime minister in the fiefdom of King Huan). She can't compare at all.

However, such a proud daughter of heaven is not liked by King Huan.

The glass-hearted ex-concubine made herself a sick child. After the prince brought a bunch of concubines back to the mansion, she pissed herself off to death.

The eldest son, who was only five years old, became a pitiful little one, no one loved him, especially when his stepmother came in soon after.

The stepmother treated him neither nicely nor badly, basically ignoring him, but not abusing him. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are still regulated by the eldest son, but no one cares about him anymore, as if he has become a transparent person.

Later, the stepmother gave birth to the second son and daughter in succession, which was quite liked by King Huan.

Obviously, after the second son grew up, he competed with the eldest son for the position of the eldest son. However, the second son failed, and the stepmother who helped the second son seize power disappeared, and went to Huangquan to reunite with Lao Huanwang's family of three. Only this little girl was left behind, and it was also because the little girl was innocent, never participated in these matters, and didn't bother to fight for power.

This aloof beauty is really aloof, living a very cold and indifferent life.

The new King Huan was afraid that people would say that he was cruel, so he didn't clean up this innocent sister. But he really didn't want to see her. Coincidentally, the princess didn't bother to look at her. Just as the general election was about to happen, the princess came here on her own initiative.

She didn't even bring her second brother's remnants of the old ministry, but only brought a group of maidservants practicing martial arts who had been with her since she was a child to protect her safety, lest King Huan think too much and suspect that she came to the emperor for help and wanted to pull him off his horse.

"No wonder." Concubine Shen was stunned, "So she really didn't have such thoughts?"

"Maybe, but even if she saved it, it's useless. Her elder brother is dead, and there are no children left. Apart from the current King Huan, there are only a few side branches left in King Huan's lineage. Even if she brought down King Huan by relying on Yanjun , and I can't find a support object, unless I become the queen myself."

I don't know if it's because she has been with Shen Yuqing for a long time, and Empress Fu has become more open-minded. She never thought that there would be a "Queen" before.

Shen Guifei's mouth twitched: "With her temperament, she can't be a queen, right?"

Unless it is a king of leisure, if this cold beauty is really allowed to manage the fief, he is afraid that he will be destroyed in a few minutes.

Empress Fu thought so.

No matter what, the princess is determined to settle down in the capital this time. I'm afraid that even if I can't find Mr. Ruyi in the end, I won't go back easily. I'd rather be a hostage here, than go back and be assassinated by my brother who suddenly became mad.

According to news from the intelligence agency, that King Huan was very good at making up his mind, and he always felt that he was a poor little boy who was persecuted by his stepmother and younger brother. All of them are merciless in their actions, and they don't listen to the logic that the stepmother didn't abuse him, and think that the younger brother who covets his position as the son is a guy with ulterior motives.

In fact, his younger brother is quite aboveboard, he just wants to compete fairly with his elder brother, and he has never done anything wrong. In the end, he was harmed by his elder brother's black hands.

I also know that the stepmother who can raise such a daughter will not be a wicked person, nor will she be able to raise any bad-tempered son.

To put it simply, King Huan is a psychopath with a twisted heart and paranoia of being persecuted. He even suspected that there was something wrong with the death of his mother and concubine, and it was his stepmother who killed him. The stepmother had an affair with his father before she got married, so she quietly killed his mother and took the position.

"I really think too much..." Concubine Shen's mouth twitched, "Does Mr. Fu Yan want to withdraw from the feudal domain? This princess should be able to join hands."

Fu Qiushui was stunned for a moment: "How to join forces?"

The princess herself doesn't have much talent for tactics, otherwise she wouldn't choose to go away instead of staying and using the second brother's connections to kill the eldest brother.

"She doesn't know how to plot, your brother does!" Concubine Shen reminded, "Anyway, now that her brother is dead, there are two choices before her eyes: take revenge, or not take revenge."

Since it is revenge, no matter what form of revenge, as long as the goal is achieved in the end. Presumably those old minions of the second son would not care about the loss of the fief after the revenge, and the loss of King Huan. As long as they make a promise to give the princess and her descendants a guarantee, those loyal old ministries will be willing.

The master is gone, and it is a surprise to be able to protect the master's sister.

Fu Qiushui was thoughtful.

"And you can also promise that when the withdrawal of the vassal is successful, the position of King Huan will be lost to the princess. However, without granting land, it is just an idle king, and there will be no hereditary succession. As long as there is no rebellion, the descendants of the princess can always enjoy the throne. The benefits of coming. But... "

This throne must be stipulated that only women are allowed to inherit it.

First of all, although the folk customs are open now, they will not accept women to rebel and proclaim themselves emperor. As long as the man's desire to become a prince is cut off, unless there is Wu Zetian among the descendants of the princess, then this branch will continue to live in peace.

Secondly, it is also a reassurance for the second son's old department. With this throne, it is obviously much more powerful than empty promises.

"This is a good idea!" The eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, who came to have dinner at night, lit up after hearing this, "Daughter Chengjue, what a good idea!"

In this way, too many problems will be avoided. At that time, the men of King Huan's lineage will have to rely on women for a living. Over time, those men will be born weaker than women, and I am afraid that not many dare to resist. However, in order to prevent men from taking advantage of being a man to take advantage of Chengjue's women, it is necessary to formulate some more rules to protect the rights of Queen Huan.

Otherwise, if there is something like "holding the emperor to order the princes", this good move will be in vain.

"I'll go back and think about it and see what to do."

His Majesty the Emperor stopped eating, lost his chopsticks and went back to the Zichen Palace, where he began to work hard on the night shift.

Concubine Shen was happy to be at leisure, so she was too lazy to take the initiative to help the emperor find a way. As for whether the emperor can persuade the princess to join their camp, it depends on the emperor's own ability.

"There shouldn't be a problem." Empress Fu thought about it, "I'm afraid the reason why the princess didn't take someone away with me, but came to the capital is because of this consideration."

"Which floor?"

"She is waiting, waiting for Lord Yan to withdraw from the feudal domain."

The princess is not stupid, there is no semicolon for the Wang Zhi family with a different surname who has a fief. I'm afraid that many people in the fief had guessed that the emperor wanted to withdraw the domain. It's just because the emperor didn't do anything, so they kept deceiving themselves and others that it didn't exist.

But the princess felt that the emperor was about to endure to the extreme. Now that she has come to the capital, she can wait for the battle to withdraw the domain to start.

King Zuo Huan will definitely fail, how can a small fief of him compare with the whole Great Yan? So even if she doesn't cooperate with the emperor, as long as she waits, she should be able to wait for the enemy to be unlucky in her lifetime.

It's just that for her own safety, she should take the initiative to surrender after entering Beijing, lest the emperor really take her as a hostage and threaten King Huan, but King Huan didn't care, and the emperor became angry and rubbed her.

"We took the initiative to find her, and she should be happy to provide the contact information of the old department." After all, this would allow the enemy to be executed faster.

This is a mutually beneficial cooperation, especially for the emperor.

If King Huan's fiefdom is in chaos first, or even the second son's old department succeeds in killing King Huan, then it will not be the emperor who has to withdraw the domain regardless of the achievements of King Huan's ancestors, but the king of Huan will kill each other. The rest of the royal families are all collateral, and they are very collateral. The emperor only needs to say "they are not direct descendants and cannot inherit the throne", and he can openly smash the establishment of King Huan, a king with a different surname.

In this way, the emperor will receive less criticism. After all, the inheritance of titles has always been like this today, and it depends on the honor bestowed by the emperor. If there is no legitimate son in any family and wants the concubine to inherit the title, the emperor can take back the title if he is unhappy, not to mention that the entire main branch has no men

Therefore, it all depends on whether the emperor is willing to accept the title of the concubine, the adopted child, or the side. If the emperor is not happy and thinks that enjoying this title will waste a lot of salary from the treasury, he can take it back. You can't say he is stingy, after all, it is written in the Great Yan law.

However, if the emperor didn't want people to gossip, he gave the throne to the only remaining aunt in the aunt branch. Although it was a precedent, it wouldn't be a violation of the rules to say it.

The difficulty of withdrawing the domain is that once the king of a different surname is not happy, he may rebel. If Wang's own people with different surnames kill his own people, and kill them all, then no one can call the shots and raise the banner to rebel. All the problems were easily solved, and the emperor didn't have to bear the infamy, it was a lot of money.

After thinking about it, Concubine Shen Gui couldn't help but feel that King Huan really wanted to die.

If you want to be ruthless, be ruthless to the end, kill the younger brother's old department and younger sister together, and cut off future troubles; or don't be so cruel, save the younger brother's life, and really maintain a good reputation. Now he kills half and keeps the other half, and his reputation is not much better, and he will be dragged off the horse later, sometimes he regrets it.

So, don't be a watch and set up a memorial arch, it's easy to play off.

The emperor went to arrange someone to contact the princess, who happened to have entered Beijing today. Concubine Shen still needs to continue to read the information of those noble girls with the empress to determine who will stay and who will go, and arrange the palace.

And in the roster, the two of them saw Miss Cao, the daughter of General Cao Cao Jianqiong, who had conquered the West before.

Judging from her portrait, she is indeed a great beauty. Not as stunningly beautiful as Concubine Shen Gui, but very attractive. She has a dignified appearance and looks like a good wife. She is the favorite type of daughter-in-law among noble wives nowadays.

Not flirtatious, dignified and virtuous, and of noble birth, and not weak in appearance, should be easy to give birth to. Where can I find such a good daughter-in-law

If Miss Cao hadn't lived in the Central Plains with her father in the past, I'm afraid she would be a model of aristocratic daughters praised by everyone in the capital.

The author has something to say: The later stage bosses will be on stage tomorrow, let me show you the preparation—

Big boss: Concubine Xian, Miss Cao, Concubine Yun (pseudo-boss)

Small boss: Fu Concubine's cousin, Mrs. Lan from the Imperial Merchant (the one who gave Qi Xue the idea to open the Gentleman's Pavilion)
