When Xie Lan and others heard these words, they were frightened and unconvinced: "Twenty-one is just proud because of the empress. If not for the empress' promotion, with his little ability, would he be qualified to be the master? He is a high-ranking man. Being an unfavored concubine was something he couldn't imagine! Now it's good, thanks to his empress, he has become the royal son-in-law, and the four houses are in ruins. The nephews haven't grown up yet, but they are showing off to us. !”
These people are actually quite convinced by Yun Fenghuang, and they all know that the rise of the Xie family is all due to Yun Fenghuang's efforts.
But for Xie Wuzheng, there are 111,000 dissatisfactions!
They all felt that this consort was no different from them, but he was just one of the people who relied on the imperial concubine to get a good life.
Who are you to tell them what to do
If Yun Fenghuang's brother Xie Xiaoyu was still here, they would have listened.
After all, the relationship between siblings from the same mother is not something they can compare to.
But Xie Wuzheng is just Yun Fenghuang's cousin, and there's even a lot of bad blood between the brothers and sisters' mothers. Why are you pretending to be this
It’s as if he is where he is today because of himself!
"But now that he is the prince-in-law, his status is much higher than ours, and the empress trusts him." Xie Changxiu, the 19th lady, reminded with a smile, "All the brothers in the fourth room are gone, and the nephews are young, so he can't Are you starting to tremble? We are also daughters. It is not easy for us to share our worries with our empress in the temple. Even in the back house, we have to rely on her grace and protection... Now that he is saying this, even if we are not convinced, how can we refute? There is no need to scream. He complained to the empress, and it became more and more our fault."
Xie Lan had a complex expression on his face and couldn't help but say: "If he was really a standout, how could he not have made an appointment early when he first came to the Imperial Capital? How could there be a chance for the Master! He is not talented enough to win the world with his talent, academics, and appearance. When the eldest aunt was still alive, she was far inferior to the fourth aunt. She had no way to arrange a good marriage for him, so she delayed. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise... If the eighteenth brother from the fourth room hadn't gotten married so early, how could he have such a rapid rise? It's his turn! I think when we were at home, even though we were not particularly close to each other, at least the sisters spent more time together than I did with him, right?"
"Now that he has gained power, he has taught us a lesson."
"It's really the villain who becomes rampant when he gets his way!"
Although the two sisters are quite resentful towards Xie Wuzheng, the fact is that Xie Wuzheng is now much stronger than them in terms of status, power and trust in front of Yun Fenghuang, so they dare not say anything openly. .
He just held a grudge and thought about giving this annoying cousin a knife whenever he got the chance.
... After Yun Fenghuang handed the matter over to Xie Wuzheng, he ignored it. If Xie Wuzheng had no such ability, he would have been supported by her for many years in vain.
Don't even think about the next temple battle.
Time soon entered the twelfth lunar month, and counting the time, Princess Xincheng was ready to marry the Khan.
The marriage between Princess Sang Ya and King Shu has also been officially finalized at the beginning of the next spring.
In fact, King Shu and the princess are both still young, and getting married now may not be a good thing for both parties. However, the marriage between these two people is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so naturally it cannot be treated as normal.
"Prince Shu is also pitiful." Because the middle palace was abolished, the imperial concubine had to concentrate on the care of the fetus. During this period, the palace affairs were entrusted to Concubine Shu.
It's okay for Concubine De to pay it back, because she has been handling the concubine's thigh for many years, and she will have to deal with it according to the gourd's instructions.
Concubine Shu was born into a noble family, but she never had this opportunity.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel trembling. Although I was ranked before Concubine De in terms of order, I still had to discuss everything with Concubine De, for fear of making mistakes and being held responsible.
That day, I and Concubine De checked all the items related to Prince Shu's wedding, and couldn't help but sigh, "Finally, we have a good marriage now, but I hope things go smoothly for him in the future."
Concubine De raised her eyebrows and said, "Without a mother like the deposed Queen Gu, how can things go smoothly?"
As a member of the imperial concubine party, Concubine De couldn't help but wish for Gu Zhen's resignation.
She had been worried before, what would her mother and daughter do if the prince beneath her knees became the crown prince
But the imperial concubine was more powerful than she thought. She was so happy to see that her thighs were hugged correctly.
At this moment, the whole person's eyes and brows were filled with high spirits, "Not to mention King Shu, he is the third prince. He is the first prince to be raised by Gu Zhen after all. He is so pitiful that he is being bullied by King Chongxin. He doesn't even know. What did Gu Zhen think?"
Having said this, I couldn't help but ask my left and right, "How are you doing with Mrs. Gu these two days?"
Since Gu Zhen was abandoned, it was of course impossible for him to continue to live in Yanfu Palace.
He was kicked out of Chongchang Hall on the same day that the imperial edict was abolished.
Because the emperor did not order her to be killed, he was staying in a room in the cold palace with a few dowry servants.
"In response to your concubine," said Concubine De's attendant, "Maybe she is not feeling well. She said she was ill again. My maid was bold and sent a doctor to see her and prescribed some prescriptions. I don't know if eating them will make her feel better. stand up."
Concubine Shu frowned slightly when she heard this and said softly: "Still taking medicine?"
There was some surprise and a subtle tone in these words.
When Concubine De heard this, she smiled half-heartedly and said, "If she doesn't take medicine, is she just wishing to die? She is not alone."
Gu's results haven't come out yet, so it's not completely hopeless.
Now that the queen is deposed and committed suicide, wouldn't it be a drag on the Gu family if she is considered to be resentful? Although a noble girl has family help everywhere, she is also always affected by troubles.
Concubine Shu pursed her lips, feeling quite sad as if a rabbit had died, but she was too frightened that the concubine did not dare to show it, so she changed the subject as if it was nothing: "Speaking of which, His Highness King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing will be fourteen next year, so they are almost there. Got married. Do you know whose girl the imperial concubine has chosen to be Princess Qin? After all, it’s time for my mistress to get engaged. It’s just that the elders are in order, but they don’t dare to surpass the eldest son of the emperor. After all, King Shu’s The situation is special, but the waiter is not."
"Earlier, my sister was watching closely, but who would have thought that the incident of abolishing the empress would happen right after." When it came to the marriage of her children, Concubine De also felt a little emotional and sighed, "Now it's too late for my sister to save the pregnancy. I'm afraid I can't take care of it. I have to wait for the emperor's heir in my sister's belly to calm down. However, my sister has always doted on King Qin and Zhaoqing, so I guess taking time out of her busy schedule will not delay their life-long events... You can make an agreement with the girl's family in private, and when the matter with King Qin is settled, it can be finalized without delay."
Concubine Shu nodded and asked curiously: "Where is the third princess? Do you like her?"
"... I'm still watching." Concubine De was a little helpless. The eldest daughter and the second daughter of the emperor were both noble concubines, and it was not easy for her to cross them.
It's just the concubine's current situation. Who dares to let her worry about her children's marriage
As far as the relationship between Wei Hengyan and Yun Fenghuang was concerned, there was no need for Concubine Shu to worry about the order of birth in the engagement. She was mainly worried about choosing the concubine's favorite son-in-law by mistake.
So before the imperial concubine chooses a consort for Zhaoqing and the second princess, Concubine De can only wait.
But in fact, although Yun Fenghuang was still lying on the bed to protect her pregnancy, she did not relax her children's marriage. She had decided early in the morning that the second princess would give Yin Qu's designated heir, Yin Chunyan, as a way to further strengthen the relationship between the two parties. Candidate.
On this day, Zheng summoned Gong Xiangqian alone to talk about the matter: "Ruyi'er, your biological mother was originally from this palace. The situation forced her to be sent to Luo's palace. Who knew she would give birth to you?" At that time, I was rushing to have a difficult delivery, and I said no. For this reason, I went to look for the Lowe theory. But I couldn't find the proof, so I had to leave it alone. After that, you went through several adoptive mothers, and finally came to me. Now, it can be said that I have a long-lasting fate with you, mother and daughter. This Yin Chunyan is the direct son of the Yin family. Although his father and brother's official positions are not top-notch, they are not bad. Moreover, Princess Yi had a good conversation with me early in the morning. , sooner or later he will be adopted by Yin Shangshu."
"As the emperor's daughter, no matter what the consort's temperament is, he will never support you."
"It's just that when a husband and wife get along with each other, there is simplicity and respect. If something is lost, it is better to have some affection."
"I have inquired about Yin Chunyan many times, openly and secretly. He is a very interesting child. I think he can get along with you."
The second princess said respectfully: "I thank my mother and concubine for worrying about me. The one my mother and concubine chooses must be the best."
Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied with her obedience: "Although you were not raised by me, since you call me 'mother concubine', I will naturally not wrong you. Then you will be treated slightly better than your eldest sister." Just make deletions."
"Thank you, Concubine. Concubine, you are so kind!" The second princess continued to express her thanks, but her gratitude now was much more sincere than before.
This appearance made the imperial concubine couldn't help but smile, and reached out to touch the top of her hair: "Good boy. You are already so old. The Japanese Palace will not only invite you to be a princess, but also pay attention to Tang Muyi. Anyway, don't worry, since I am the palace My daughter, you will not lack anything if a princess should have it. If a princess does not have it, you may not have it either."
It happened that Chunjia came to visit that afternoon, and Yun Fenghuang directly mentioned the matter of Gong Xiangqian: "When the child is older, it is inappropriate to say that he is married, and he is still the princess."
"That's right, I was negligent." Chunjia thought it made sense, "In this way, I will just canonize the girls tomorrow. As for the prince, I am also planning it, but we will wait until the beginning of the new year to discuss it. .”
When Yun Fenghuang heard this, she realized that even though the middle palace and the tenth prince were out, the emperor still had not made up his mind to appoint her prince.
She sighed secretly, knowing that the emperor was determined and no matter how much he doted on her, he still had to consider the future of the country.
After calming down, Fang said with a smile: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of all the royal ladies."
So the next day, the imperial edict for the princes to be canonized as princesses came down.
The second princess is Princess Changqing, the third princess is Princess Changfen, the fourth princess is Princess Xiaochang, the sixth princess is Princess Jingle, the seventh princess is Princess Junyi, the eighth princess is Princess Gaolu, the ninth princess is Princess Yanqing, and the tenth princess is Princess Yuxu, the eleventh princess is Princess Xinfeng, and the twelfth princess is Princess Tangyang. Even the fifth princess who died young was posthumously granted the title of Princess Yidu.
When the news came out, the princes and concubines were overjoyed, but the undercurrent in the previous dynasty became more and more turbulent.
The princess has already been granted the title of princess, and the princes must be imminent in becoming kings.
The main event is almost here.
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Tian Jieyu, who had been in the palace for several years, finally received news of her pregnancy.
However, it didn't cause much trouble. The high-ranking officials rewarded him according to the rules, and everything passed calmly.
On the same day, however, the news that came quickly from Wei He attracted the attention of the former harem: on the occasion of the wedding of Princess Xincheng to Wei He Khan, some Wei He clan members were dissatisfied with the fact that the Dalan clan came from the imperial dynasty and incited the tribe to cause rebellion. Although In the end, he was suppressed, but because the culprit was a prominent member of the clan, if he was dealt with hastily, it would easily arouse the disgust of Wei He and the whole country, which was quite troublesome.
King Yi did not dare to do anything on his own, so he reported quickly and asked for instructions.
"Is the Dalan family okay?" Yun Fenghuang was shocked when he heard the news. After confirming that Xie Kuo was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and then muttered, "Such powerful people should be the khans specially reserved by the dynasty to restrain them. They made trouble on the occasion of the Khan's wedding. Is this because they couldn't calm themselves down, or did the Khan do it deliberately and wanted to use the help of the country to get rid of them? "
If it's the former, that's fine. The country and the dynasty will deal with it.
Originally, Wei He was at a disadvantage now. Chunjia and his ministers were not good people, so there was no need for her to worry.
But the latter is more difficult to do, which means that the monarchs and ministers of the country have misunderstood, and Wei He, the Khan, is not a good person.
If so, can Xie Kuo cope with it
