After hearing this, Deng Chengzhai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The imperial concubine is cunning, but the matter of Zhaorong becoming a concubine may not have anything to do with you. If Zhaorong had reported this matter to the imperial concubine when he first entered the palace, how could I deal with it?" The noble concubine knows that when the emperor recruits a son-in-law, the noble concubine will most likely consider you. After all, Wang Linglai has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. He only bribed the imperial concubine with money and bribes. The imperial concubine is not the kind of person who is eager for quick success and quick gain. Besides, she is born Although he comes from a poor family, he has not been short of money and silk since he was a child. If I had known about your relationship with Empress Zhaorong earlier, I would have tried to win over you at that time."
"If the win-over is successful, I must bring you together with one of the emperor's daughters, so as not to let others take advantage."
"But you said that the imperial concubine has never contacted you from the beginning to the end, but Empress Zhaorong has only been involved with you in the past six months. I think that even if the imperial concubine knew in advance, it should be a recent matter."
Du Langu thought it was right and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Actually, let me tell the truth." Deng Chengzhai looked at his hesitant look and couldn't help but said, "The arrangement you made for Empress Zhaorong was not appropriate. How could Empress Zhaorong have such a beautiful face? Can you afford it? Even if she listens to your wedding arrangements, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to live a stable life. Now this result is actually not bad for you brothers and sisters. At least we are both peaceful and have a promising future. "
"Brother Chengzhai, you don't know something..." Du Langu hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, "Although Zhaorong and I are biological siblings, after all, we separated when we were young, and then reunited after many years apart, she also really suffered. I suffered some hardships. So I was not sure about her nature at that time. Because I heard from people that she was quite docile and sensible at the time. I thought that even though this girl was beautiful, she was not ambitious. I was afraid that if she was forcibly sent to a high-ranking palace, It’s hard for her to end well. So I plan to find a kindhearted person to marry her in the family of someone I can suppress.”
After a pause, "As for her appearance, I actually plan to persuade her to destroy it."
"It was only then that I told someone to reveal this plan to her. She said she wanted to think about it... She sneaked out within two days, using the excuse of amnesia, and fell into the eyes of the Flower and Bird Envoy."
"Of course I'm very angry!"
"Not only was I angry that she was being so obscene to me, but also, Brother Chengzhai knew better than me the situation in the palace at that time. If she hadn't gotten the protection of the imperial concubine by mistake, how could she be where she is today?"
As Chunjia's companion, Deng Chengzhai certainly knew how difficult it was for a girl with beauty but no support from her family to get along in the palace when Chunjia was seven years old.
After all, someone like Mr. Xie, who had some connection with the high sect, wouldn't he be anxious and crying after hearing that his niece was arranged to enter the palace by Duke Yi
Du Langu is now considered a figure in the emperor's heart, but at that time, Chunjia was still pretending to be weak and incompetent in front of the Ji family, let alone him.
"Brother Chengzhai had already been in contact with me at that time. Although we didn't talk about the palace in detail, the few words we accidentally said were already shocking." Du Langu said slowly, "She didn't even say hello. No fight, I just registered my name with the Flower and Bird Envoy! I... To be honest, maybe Brother Chengzhai thinks I am a bit cool, but I left the sect when I was young and have nothing to do with my biological parents. The reason why I went I came to look for her because after my father and mother passed away, there was no one close to me who could share my name on the gold medal list, so I came up with the idea of finding out about my biological parents and relatives. Only then did I find out that the whole family was gone, and she had suffered a lot, and so did I. It’s not that there is no mercy.”
"But before this pity has brewed, she did something like this. How can I not be chilled?"
Deng Chengzhai nodded slightly. At this time, women pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues: obeying their father at home, obeying their husbands when out of the palace, and obeying their sons when their husbands die. Yi Xingen's parents are no longer alive, and her adopted brother rescues her from the predicament. He can decide the rest of her life, both emotionally and rationally.
Of course, the relationship between relatives is rarely strict and is subject to negotiation.
In the end, Du Langu gave her an idea based on his own ideas. If she didn't agree, it was fine. The key was that he ran for the election without saying a word!
In the eyes of most people, this was undoubtedly a provocation to Du Langu.
In Du Langu's own view, this not only meant his sister's distrust and deception, but also a rejection of his authority.
In addition, given the situation in the harem at that time, it was impossible for Du Langu to be optimistic about Yi Xing'en's future or even her safety.
"So after she became a Cainv, I thought about it a lot and sent someone to give her a few words. Finally, I showed my kindness as a blood relative and cut off contact with her." Du Langu said slowly, " One is that she behaves like this, and it is obvious that she does not regard me as a brother at all. The second is that I am worried that once her relationship with me is exposed and the Ji family knows about it, they will become suspicious of His Majesty... How can this be so? Isn’t it a big deal?”
After all, in today's concept, a biological sister who has little relationship with etiquette and law cannot be compared with the master of her choice.
Besides, the safety of this lord is also related to Du Langu's own future.
Anyway, Du Langu didn't think there was anything wrong with cutting off the relationship with Yi Xing'en.
The reason why he has been indifferent to Yi Xing'en so far is mainly because he has asked himself, and there is nothing he can do to feel sorry for Yi Xing'en.
As a stepson, he had no obligations to his biological parents' family. If his parents hadn't left early, leaving him alone and lonely for a while, he wouldn't have even taken the initiative to inquire about Yi Xing'en's whereabouts.
This is not because he is cruel, but because he is different from Chunjia.
Chunjia was raised seriously by Empress Dowager Yuan until she was fifteen years old, and then she succeeded Xiaozong.
But Du Langu was adopted to his parents when he was young. Moreover, when he was in front of his biological parents, he was not a legitimate child, nor was he the eldest son. He was not very favored, and of course he was not harsh. All in all, as long as one of his heirs and parents is alive, he will not commemorate his biological parents, siblings.
However, Yi Xingen received his help but did not listen to his arrangement. If Du Langu hadn't reserved a plan before and didn't go to see her in person, Ji would have discovered Chunjia. What they did in private... After that, the younger sister's entry into the palace went smoothly. Because she hugged Yun Fenghuang's thigh, she didn't have to suffer much when she was a palace concubine. After giving birth to the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Zhaoqing, she was in charge of the palace. She was so proud that she was even promoted as a concubine.
In these years, she has never looked for him.
As a result, in the past six months, someone suddenly came to express their love for brother and sister. Du Langu thought that his suspicion and alienation were all natural.
Because not to mention the Concubine Min behind Yi Xing'en, he was suspicious both emotionally and rationally; even Yi Xing'en's own actions made him feel resentful in his heart.
"That's it." Deng Chengzhai was a little relieved. He was subdued by Chunjia back then and used Cui Wan's identity as the nephew to help the emperor look for helpers. Du Langu was one of the leaders. Deng Chengzhai also observed carefully for a long time and confirmed that his character was Talented people start.
I just don’t think he’s the kind of unkind master.
It sounds like this, which is consistent with Du Langu's behavior: Du Qinghui is the kind of master who is strict with himself and others.
Yi Xingen is his biological sister. In his eyes, she is someone he should control, so naturally she should behave according to his requirements. As a result, Yi Xingen was disobedient and almost cheated him. So after he fulfilled his responsibilities, he could pretend that he no longer had this sister. Now that Yi Xingen wants to renew the relationship between brother and sister, how could Du Langu just let her come and go at a moment's notice
"But Qinghui, you are only a blood relative after all. If you can't let it go, if you observe for a few days and see that Empress Zhaorong treats you sincerely, why don't you tell her what she said back then?" Deng Chengzhai thought for a while and then advised, "Actually, back then you Although the arrangements for Empress Zhaorong are comprehensive, from Empress Zhaorong's point of view, the most cherished thing for a woman is her appearance. How many people dream of having outstanding appearance. Zhaorong is naturally beautiful, how can you bear to part with it? When you reunited after a long separation, each other There are many barriers between us, and if you hadn't gone to see her in person, she might have been frightened and wanted to preserve her appearance, and she didn't dare to explain it to you, so she decided to cut it off first and tell her later."
He added, "Moreover, after the fall of the Xie family, Concubine Min was indeed extremely sad. At that time, Your Majesty personally left the court to take care of you in the harem... Empress Zhaorong was supported by Concubine Min. This touched her heart and regretted her treatment of you when she was young. The debt makes sense."
Du Langu pondered: "When I think about it later, I feel that Zhaorong's refusal to listen to me was excusable. But now, this problem is no longer an issue between us brothers and sisters. The main issue is still with Concubine Min!"
He paused and then said bluntly, "Although Concubine Min has restrained herself a lot in the past two years, she seems to be a bit virtuous. But with all due respect, Your Majesty is so doting on Concubine, even if Concubine Min wants to settle the matter, she will not do it." Very possible."
It is not that there were no similar things in the previous dynasty. The person involved originally had no ambitions, but because of the excessive favor of the emperor, he kept thinking about the wealth and honor of the higher level, and kept trying to persuade him. After a long time, he "complied with the public opinion." .
In particular, Yun Fenghuang was originally a naughty and strong master.
I'm afraid that after listening to a few words, I can't help but want to go further.
"But we are all His Majesty's people." Deng Chengzhai nodded, but said, "On such matters, we still have to listen to Your Majesty."
Du Langu was startled, then heard him continue, "His Majesty has always hinted that he would have a legitimate son, but he has never relaxed his love for Xuanqing Palace. As the saying goes, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, so I think it's better for you and me not to have preconceived ideas. . The royal heirs are still young, and you ladies are not doing anything openly now, so why should you and I be worried?"
What does it mean when a noble concubine’s confidant’s sister suddenly appears
He was the man who the emperor personally acted as a matchmaker to marry the concubine's niece!
As if he had never been in fear, Deng Chengzhai calmly comforted Du Langu and said, "To put it bluntly, you and I are not people who compromise easily. If you don't want to be coerced by Xuanqing Palace in the future, will you? Empress Zhaorong, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing, and the Seventh Princess, will I be led by the concubine because of my future wife?"
Seeing Du Langu's categorical rejection, he laughed and patted Du Langu's shoulder hard, "That's it? You just have to consider what to do with your brother-sister relationship with Empress Zhaorong. As for the rest, we'll talk about it then."
He reminded meaningfully, "Your Majesty also hinted that he would establish a legitimate son, but who knows what will happen in the future?"
Deng Chengzhai thought to himself, our emperor had vowed at the beginning that he would definitely choose from the Ouyang family, the Luo family, the Meng family, and the Yin family.
The results of it
Not only was the successor to the throne a daughter of the Gu family, but also the noble daughters of the Ouyang family, the Meng family, and the Yin family. How many years had it passed? Not to mention that they all died in the palace, even their own flesh and blood were divided up by other concubines!
So, do you believe what Chunjia says
I just figured this out and calmly prepared to marry the concubine’s niece!
After all, maybe the emperor just used the position of the East Palace as a carrot, dangled it in front of the Zhaowu family, tricking them into working hard and dying. After all, what if the crown prince changed to the prince he wanted to create
If so...
Considering the imperial favor and means, the chances of Xuanqing Palace are not small!
