Not only Yin Xiang, but almost all the concubines tried their best to send messages to their parents' families that day, asking their father and brother for instructions on what to do if they came to the east
"What should I do? Didn't I listen to the Wei family and his son during the court meeting and stand up to shut up the little Yun family?!" The old man of the Gu family said angrily, "Wouldn't it be wrong to back down now? Are you not a stranger inside or outside?"
Gu Jiashu touched his nose and said coquettishly: "Then we will act according to the wishes of the Concubine Xian?"
Mr. Gu raised his leg and slapped him, and said angrily: "Should we act according to Bidong's wishes! Who is a good concubine?"
He then said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid that Bidong was not in a good mood at that time, which would not be an opportunity for our family..."
Mrs. Gu was not the only one who was thinking about this. The news about Yin Xiang was not delivered to Yin Qu. Yin Qu was first scolded by the elders in the family: "I have told you a long time ago that the most taboo thing for a person is to be half-hearted! Since our family has chosen Bidong, we will If Bidong is not particularly mean and ungrateful, I have to continue to follow him eastward! Why can't I stand up and say a few words to help Bidong and that little Yun family with such a good opportunity? That opportunity was given to me so abruptly The old man from the Ouyang family is fighting! Let's see, there must be benefits to bringing Ruifei to the east! The civil and military officials of the whole court are looking towards the eldest princess Minghui. Even if the eldest princess Minghui cannot inherit the throne, will I feel better if I don't do it?! Then It’s so difficult for grown-up people to distinguish the important from the important. It’s so confusing! If I’m like that, how can I protect my children and my family in the future?”
Yin Qu blushed when he was scolded, and argued: "Is it possible that Bidong had previously promised to succeed his four families, but immediately reneged on it after the matter was accomplished? Could it be that he had alienated Uncle Zhaowu and the regent, and wanted to establish Mrs. Yaoning as the ruler of Yanfu?" Palace! The Gu family didn't stand up at the court meeting, so why are the four of his families rushing to please us? Don't let Bidong think that the four of us are used to being submissive and have a scornful attitude from now on."
That was not what the Luo family, Ouyang family, and Meng family thought, so they did not stand up to support Chunjia when all the ministers were defending Princess Minghui.
"Mingzai has the appearance of a wise king!" The elder Yin family sighed and said, "I have seen a few wise kings who have thick faces and black hearts. I have never seen the late Emperor Xiaozong back then. He was not a kind person. Even Lu Chun Cao, a eunuch, was willing to grant the title of Marquis because of his loyalty and ability! So what? I have never fought against the Ji family in my life, and I have tormented myself so much that I died young!"
"If I were to ask if Xiaozong had such a temperament, his family would not allow him to send his legitimate daughter into the palace to serve him! When I saw Xiaozong, did our family have any concubines?"
"To serve such a monarch, the first thing to ask for is whether he can afford us. We must first be able to afford him! Otherwise, the whole family of the Ji family will be destroyed, but I don't think the Yin family can? I beseech you again, although the eldest princess Minghui is of the late emperor's flesh and blood, what's the benefit of us favoring her to be the wrong concubine? As an eldest princess, she can live her confinement just by looking at the expressions of the emperor or the empress dowager. What can you do to help our family? Can you please give me a successor? Our daughter is just a bad girl. She is very favored by the concubine. Of course, it is good to kill her. But we have no hope of a successor. If the concubine is eliminated like this, It’s very hard to give the Gu family or other people an advantage!”
The elders of the Yin family thought that only fools would do such things as making wedding clothes for others and offending the emperor.
He looked at Yin Qu now as if he were looking at a fool, "Thunder and rain are not the kindness of the king! If it weren't for that kind of soft-tempered monarch, such as the late Emperor Xiaozong, I would be angry after being wronged. , just like that, I am angry with him? Have I forgotten how the Ji family offended him to death?! What about the family that strongly supported his ascension to the throne! Let alone our family? I don’t want to think about Bidong Da. How many of the concubines who have been married so far have good marriages? Does Mrs. Yaoning also have to ask Uncle Zhaowu to get the chance to be appointed as his successor? But the emperor is so young. After the regent falls, , I wonder if Mrs. Yaoning will have a good ending! They are all Bidong’s bedsiders. Serving Bidong all these years can be regarded as a sincerity, and Bidong still doesn’t miss the old relationship, let alone us ministers? "
"..." Yin Qu was speechless. After being embarrassed for a while, he whispered, "He knows. He will go to Bidong to plead guilty later, and also have someone send a message to Xian'er."
