"My granddaughter-in-law is stupid." Gu Zhen lowered his head and said calmly, "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't understand the meaning of the Red Emperor's grandmother."
She had a humble attitude, but she actually felt a little disapproving of it: If you ask the Concubine Xian to bring it up, she is very considerate, but as for the Empress Dowager, then forget it.
Because the confidence of the virtuous concubine to act arrogantly came from Chunjia's cruelty. Could it be that the imperial grandmother was Chunjia's fault
From Gu Zhen's point of view, on the premise that it was very useful for him and his family to marry the emperor, even if Concubine Xian cheated her, she would definitely want to be measured and not go too far.
But what about the Empress Dowager? Isn’t it possible to come here with all the energy
So she didn't want to believe anything the Empress Dowager Bulian said.
"I won't go into details about Ming Zai's mourning for his family, but I am an old man who entered the palace during his wedding, and I have seen what happened to Empress Yuan from beginning to end." Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager said slowly. , "At that time, the Ji family was obviously needed, so even if Ling Zi's temperament was not gentle, he would not treat him gently. It turned out that the Ji family had just been destroyed, and Ling Zi was also sent to the Taoist temple, and how long could she stay in the Taoist temple? It’s no problem. If you are obviously trying to win over my father, and you are willing to give me the post, and you are willing to give it to the prince, can you do it in the future? I think with Chunjia’s age and leg size, he will always need Uncle Zhaowu?”
Gu Zhen said: "Emperor Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law has never been smart. She doesn't understand the things about the previous dynasty, and she doesn't want to understand."
The Empress Dowager looked at her with the eyes of a dead wood: "I'm just an ordinary concubine. It's fine if I say I don't want to understand the affairs of the previous dynasty. But I'm the queen! I don't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty. If you don’t rush to learn, you really don’t want to understand? Then my position in the back position must be unstable. The two princes to my east are also pitiful. "
Gu Zhen lowered his eyebrows and said submissively, "Did Grandma Huang teach me a lesson?"
"..." The Queen Mother looked at her indifferent expression, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then sighed, swung her legs and said, "I'll go."
Seeing Gu Zhen resigning in relief, he shook his head and said to the people around him, "No wonder Concubine Xian strongly recommends that Gu family to take over the Yanfu Palace. She is so stupid that she doesn't cherish the opportunity presented to her. Concubine Xian will be full of wings in the future." If you want to go further, I'm afraid it won't be easy! I've made trouble for Mu Zi's child. With such a mother, I don't know if there is a chance of growing up?"
The attendant comforted him: "Everyone has a tacit understanding that the Third Prince cannot be the son of the Eastern Palace. Therefore, Bidong may be more open-minded and not Bidong's biological flesh and blood."
"I hope that's the case." The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chunjia...can you be a cruel person who doesn't know if you are your own flesh and blood, can you be gentler?"
After Gu Zhen left Qingci Palace and returned to Yanfu Palace, he immediately informed everyone about the conversation with the Empress Dowager.
There was some hesitation on the left and right: "In fact, it is not bad to let the young master of the family become the master. Even though the eldest princess Minghui, Dongdong, felt sorry for the virtuous concubine and offended Bidong, she was the late emperor's only legitimate daughter. Bidong always begged the wrong eldest princess. Your Majesty is quite tolerant."
In this way, if the emperor no longer needs the Gu family, for the sake of Princess Minghui's face, or in other words, the people of Tiandong will not talk about his mistreatment of Xiaozong's flesh and blood, and he will also wrong the Gu family and show mercy.
For Uncle Zhaowu's lineage, this is not a way out.
As for Chunjia being unhappy with this move, that's okay. Chunjia needs Gu now, so even if she's unhappy, she won't fall out.
"He didn't want to agree just because she had an affair with Concubine Xian." Bu Nao Gu Zhen had her own thoughts, "Although Bi Dong Cuo Ji is ruthless, she is actually quite generous, but Concubine Yang Yu is not. Let's see. In the past two years, everything that happened in the palace, from the concubines to the concubines, who ended up in a miserable situation, was it not because the virtuous concubine contributed to the trouble and covered up the trouble? I hope the emperor can just take the blame himself, in fact, it would not be that serious in the first place. Yes. If Princess Minghui offends Bidong, would he want to agree to it?"
"But she offended Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian had just come from the court meeting in the east that day, so she forced Liu Gong to go to Qingci Palace to seek justice."
"Then they just had a quarrel that caused a storm in the city."
"After a few months, most people will forget about that. Let's see. How can Princess Minghui have a successful outcome?"
"Therefore, it is good that the brothers, nephews and brothers in the family are not involved with Princess Minghui. Once they are involved, it does not mean whether Princess Hui can successfully descend to the east. Even if she does, she will be followed in Concubine Xian's heart. I’m thinking about it!”
"Whether the talented Princess Minghui has the status of the late emperor's only legitimate daughter, and whether she dared to stay with the master Wei Nao just after entering the palace, let him see it, the Empress Dowager did not take it seriously. .”
"We have nothing to do with Princess Minghui in the past. What can we do to prevent her from taking that risk?"
One bad thing, Concubine Xian could not touch the eldest princess and the children of the Gu family for the time being, so she came towards her queen first
Although Chunjia was reluctant to agree to abolish the queen at that time, would it be easier to be in trouble if he saw the sky
Gu Zhen was a little frightened when he was forced to be pushed back, because he didn't want to suffer the consequences of rejecting the marriage.
"... That's not what the empress said." After thinking about it for a while, thinking about Yun Fenghuang's achievements in causing trouble, he felt a little awe-inspiring. Your Majesty's temper will make things difficult for our Yanfu Palace. When the time comes when there is trouble in Bidong's harem, it will definitely affect Bidong's energy and attention. Then can the regent please be happy?"
"That's not the truth." Gu Zhen yawned and said, "There is a banquet coming in the morning. He will take a nap first to avoid losing his energy and losing his etiquette in front of the emperor."
Even though she thought so, she didn't fall asleep.
Because just after Taoshu, someone from the palace came to report that something had happened to Xiao Daiyu. Concubine Xian, De Fei and Rui Fei thought that they could not make the decision, so they wanted to ask the queen to make a decision.
Gu Zhen got up very reluctantly and went outside. When he saw the third concubine, he brought his confidants to the scene. After all the rest were dismissed, he said bluntly: "The palace has always been taken care of by Concubine Xian. What's going on?" Concubine Xian can't handle it, why don't you come to me?"
Yun Fenghuang looked a little tired now, and said: "I really don't dare to deal with that matter: otherwise something happened to Xiao Daiyu."
"Xiao Daiyu?" Gu Zhen reacted before remembering that someone seemed to have reported before that if the Prince Regent was staying in the palace, he would live in Xiao Daiyu. She immediately became serious, "What happened to the Prince Regent?"
"... The prince drank too much yesterday morning. After Xiao Daiyu stayed in the east, he was blessed with a palace maid." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Xiao Daiyu's steward did not dare to hide it, but because it is the first day of the new year tomorrow, , Bidong was there very much, and he didn’t dare to disturb him. No, he was so procrastinated that he reported it to me at that moment? I was thinking about that, but I can make up my mind. You can ask the Queen to make the decision."
Gu Zhen frowned and asked, "That matter... how many people know about it now?"
Yun Fenghuang looked at Concubine De and Concubine Rui.
The two concubines shook their heads together and asked whether the person in charge was a measured person. After finding out, he immediately controlled all the relevant people and prevented them from being spread. The news should not have leaked yet.
"The royal family will be embarrassed when the news gets out." Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and discussed with them, "In my opinion, it's best to seal it off first, and then ask for instructions when Bidong is free. Your Majesty."
Because of the relationship between Uncle Zhaowu and the regent, although Gu Zhen and Gong Xiangxiao were not very familiar with each other, they still had a certain fondness for each other.
At that moment, Dong consciously wanted to cover him up in order to turn the big thing into a trivial one.
But Yun Fenghuang didn't go back on her suggestion, but reminded: "My dearest lady, it was the Empress Dowager's decision that the Crown Prince stay in the palace. I heard that the Crown Prince had never stayed in the palace before. Why did nothing happen to him before, but what happened that time?" Already?"
"...I suspect that the matter has something to do with the Empress Dowager?" Gu Zhen's biggest headache was the twists and turns. She originally thought of putting the matter in the wrong direction first, and then reported it to Chunjia later to see what Chunjia would do. Let's do it. Once Concubine Yanyu spoke like that, she couldn't shirk the blame, so she could suppress her irritation and ask, "Can you tell me why?"
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "How can I predict the Empress Dowager's thoughts? I just want to tell you."
When Gu Zhen saw that she was unwilling to help with any advice, he sighed, swung his legs and said, "I know this. If we have nothing else to do, let's go east."
So the third concubine resigned.
After leaving Yanfu Palace, Concubine Rui greeted Yun Fenghuang and left. Concubine De followed her to Huanhua Palace. After sitting down, the palace servants made tea, and she asked: "Sister, are you serious about that?" Is it related to the Empress Dowager? But what is the Empress Dowager doing?"
"How do I know?" Bu Nao Yun Fenghuang shook his head when he heard this and said, "I just think it's strange. Although the Prince Regent is not yet married, given his status, he wants to recruit several young and beautiful maids. It's not difficult to go to bed, but to do such a thing in the palace and expose yourself to injustice? In addition, the Empress Dowager did not let him stay overnight in the previous court, but sent him to the island... It is too suspicious. "
Concubine De thought for a while and suggested a solution: "Could it be that the regent didn't like the crown prince and planned to appoint a younger son instead, but he was afraid that the emperor would be rebellious due to his clan affiliation, so he asked the empress dowager to use that method to deprive him of the throne." The title of the eldest son."
Even Concubine De thought so, which shows that the regent did not want to see his eldest son, otherwise it would have been recognized by the previous harem.
Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "That's right. As far as the regent is concerned, changing the heir apparent at that time is not a good idea."
Concubine De said: "But there is nothing extraordinary about Ruming's eldest son. But the regent's youngest son, who has been hiding in the backyard, is rumored to be smart and clever. He also studied under Wei Liushou, so he is even more expected."
"No, that's not the case." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "His Majesty is still in the prime of life. The Regent says he is in his prime, but in a few years he will be considered old. Although the prince is a bit mediocre, I beg the Regent to always They didn't bother to cultivate him. Prince Ru Ming was only weak due to his age, and he still had time to build up momentum and say that he was wise. But how old was Ru Ming, the young son of the regent? No matter how talented he was, how could a child from Bu Nao help matters! Such a situation Once the regent makes a mistake, there won't even be anyone to take charge of the overall situation. Isn't that a good thing?"
In fact, Yun Fenghuang has never quite understood the regent's actions...
There are few sons, and whether the concubine Yuan is in Bubu or not, the concubine Yuan is not here, so she doesn't make much use of the backyard to marry into a high-ranking family.
The key is that those two sons are not well cultivated...
Those who don't know often think that he has no ambitions and just wants to be like the King of Fu Xianxian.
But he had a fierce fight with Chun Jia.
I really don’t understand.
Of course, this is not a good thing for Yun Fenghuang.
After all, if the regent is not the kind of master whose father-in-law is the father-in-law of the whole court, then Chunjia will be wrong and his uncle will not know how difficult it will be to find him.
"But the prince regent can make up his mind just by looking at him." Concubine De thought for a while and said, "It is true that although his youngest son is young, he can be the teacher of Xiwei Liushou or the grandfather Lu. Spring grass, if you stand up, you can temporarily stabilize the overall situation!"
She forgot about it and said what was on her mind, but when she saw Yun Fenghuang was pondering after hearing the words, he didn't regret it. She said awkwardly, "My sister is just talking nonsense. I don't want my sister to be as knowledgeable as my sister."
What, as the saying goes, a saint will always make mistakes, and a fool will always gain something. Could it be that Concubine Xian rarely made a mistake in judgment, but she accidentally guessed the truth? Concubine Xian would not have come to Taiwan at that time, right?
"...How much do I know about Wei Liushou?" Yun Fenghuang ignored Concubine De's apprehension, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked.
