"Humble book?" Of course Concubine Jing knew the chief confidant of Concubine Shu's dowry. She was not completely out of the city, but she had sold him to other people in the past.
After all, the concubine Ouyang Fulu grew up with her, and she once fell in love with her sister's boudoir.
If it weren't for the family, she and Ouyang Fulu might have had an excellent relationship throughout their lives.
The previous time, I had slandered and framed Concubine Shu in front of the noble concubine. Now when I see Concubine Shu, the most trusted and relied upon dowry, how can I not feel a little guilty
Luo's years of education are not fake.
At this moment, he forced himself to calm down. After being seated without any courtesy, he was presented with tea and asked in a friendly manner, "Why did Concubine Shu send you here? Is there something wrong?"
"There is something." Zhuoshu looked around and waited for Concubine Jing to clear the place before saying apologetically, "Concubine Jing, don't be offended. It's not that I don't trust your people, it's just that this matter... didn't happen. It was really difficult to spread the word before.”
Concubine Jing had no time to pay attention to these details now, so she only continued to ask her why she came.
"Does your Majesty know that a few days ago, Your Majesty personally handed over an errand to Concubine Shu and Concubine De?"
"... Could it be about the marriage of Marquis Yongchun?" This matter is not a secret. The main reason is that Chunjia has no intention of keeping it secret. Concubine Shu needs help to find a candidate, and it is impossible to keep it secret, so everyone in the Sixth Palace knows it. , at least those in high positions know it well.
To be honest, they were still very interested in the position of Mrs. Yongchun Marquis.
After all, what family doesn’t have a few sisters with whom they have good relationships and want to take care of them
Even if you don't think about the sisters, Chunjia is an only son, and no matter how complicated the relationship between the two sons is, they are brothers in the patriarchal clan. His own sons are still young, and he has not been able to ask his son to help him share his worries for nearly ten years. He must count on these two brothers to share the burden. In particular, regardless of the talents, prestige and ability of Duke Xiangxiao of Yiwang or Xiangzhen of Yongchun, let alone threatening Chunjia, it is considered lucky to be an important minister. In this case, it is safer and easier to get rich.
But look at this recent series of events!
The two empress dowagers had to drag their old bodies on their way home, and the queen and concubine were dragged out and criticized again and again.
Under such turmoil, who would care about finding a suitable husband for the sisters at home
It’s too late to shiver!
When Zhuoshu mentioned this matter, Concubine Jing frowned subconsciously. She had never paid attention to Marquis Yongchun's marriage before, let alone now.
As if he could sense her thoughts, Zhu Shu whispered: "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shu has already looked at His Majesty's thoughts and found some people, but... After this is not the case with Wan Jieyu, I'm afraid you will also be hated by Imperial Concubine. Yes? So Concubine Shu thought, why not recommend a girl from your family to His Majesty... "
Concubine Jing was startled.
The humble book explained: "The Marquis of Yongchun is your Majesty's brother. If the Luo family's young lady is betrothed to him, then even if your Majesty shows respect to your brother, how can you not protect your Majesty? Your Majesty's nature is well known to you, your Majesty." .Although I have always preferred the Imperial Concubine, I have never allowed the Imperial Concubine to mess around on big issues of right and wrong. You must know that Yongchun Marquis is still young now, and His Majesty’s decision to finalize his marriage at this moment is mainly due to the urging of the Empress Dowager. It can be seen that Your Majesty It is pure filial piety after all. So, if the marriage was just arranged for Marquis Yongchun, the sister of Marquis Yongchun’s fiancée would suffer a disadvantage in the palace, and if the news spread, others would think that His Majesty deliberately humiliated Marquis Yongchun! How could Your Majesty do such a thing? What about the matter?"
Concubine Jing was silent for a moment, with mixed thoughts in her heart, and her face became a little unnatural: "This... this will probably be very troublesome? Besides, I'm afraid your Majesty won't be happy to see Marquis Yongchun marrying a famous family."
Although she tried her best to endure it at the moment, her whole body could not help but tremble slightly.
It is shameful and shameless.
Although this matter has not yet come out, the fact is that she just sold Concubine Shu in front of the imperial concubine for herself, the thirteenth prince and the sixth princess...
The sale was very thorough, without considering Concubine Shu's life or death, let alone what her four princesses would do after Concubine Shu passed away...
The results of it
Concubine Shu was still thinking of ways for her.
He even did not hesitate to make a fuss out of the mission assigned by the emperor...
Not to mention whether this move is useful or feasible, it is only for her heart. It can be seen that the love for those years before entering the palace is true.
For a moment, Concubine Jing had the impulse to not care about anything. She immediately rushed to Concubine Shu and kowtowed to admit her mistake. She poured beans out of the bamboo tube and tried to find a way to solve the problem together... If it didn't work, she would just die. Concubine Shu was like this. As for her, she will definitely take good care of the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixth Princess...
But she finally endured it.
After all, she did not doubt that Concubine Shu would take care of the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixth Princess.
But he understood even more how cruel the imperial concubine was.
Concubine Shu... I'm afraid she will be powerless by then.
This may even anger the imperial concubine and cause her to be burned. When the time comes, Concubine Shu and her daughter may not be spared either...
If that's the case, then why not simply sacrifice Concubine Shu and her daughter to fulfill his own mother, son and the Sixth Prince's daughter
Maybe, if she's lucky, she can even save the fourth princess under Concubine Shu's knees... When the time comes, she will definitely treat the four princesses well to compensate Concubine Shu... No, that's not called compensation, that's called atonement...
Concubine Jing laughed to herself in her heart, feeling that she was really disgusting.
It's obvious that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he still has to find all kinds of excuses... Forget it, I don't want to think about this.
She raised her head, looked at the book and said, "I appreciate Concubine Shu's kindness. But... forget it."
Concubine Jing smiled sadly and said softly, "The noble concubine's temperament... would not allow Concubine Shu to do this favor for me. Rather than letting Concubine Shu offend her like this, it would be better... that's it... anyway... I will do this that day." I went to Xuanqing Palace to cry and beg for Wan Jieyu. Although the imperial concubine did not say anything clearly at the time, but... she probably just refused... But in the past two days, I didn't see the imperial concubine doing anything to me. Maybe Wan Jieyu's death made her feel enough… "
After all, she couldn't do anything like inciting Concubine Shu to help her right now, so she said something in a desperate tone and sent Zhu Shu away.
When I returned to Concubine Shu, I sighed: "Concubine Jing refuses... Concubine Jing, my maid feels that Concubine Jing's expression was not right when she said these words."
"She must be under great pressure now. It would be surprising if her expression could still be the same as usual." Concubine Shu sighed, picked up the booklet in front of her, read it again and again, and murmured, "That's all, she...she doesn't think it's necessary. After struggling, I can’t bear it. Let’s do this. Later, I will try my best to recommend Concubine Jing’s cousin to your majesty. It would be great if your majesty can nod this way.”
"Your Majesty..." I stopped talking several times, but finally I couldn't help but remind you, "My Majesty, have you ever thought about it? Concubine Jing went to Xuanqing Palace before, and she made a huge noise when she went. Even the Sixth Palace knew about it. She was going to make trouble with the imperial concubine, but what happened? She came out fine, but was sent out by the Qing people. So what did she say to the imperial concubine in the Xuanqing Palace? You know, Jing The reason why Concubine and Wan Jieyu are being made trouble by the Imperial Concubine, in the final analysis, is because they are coming for us!"
Concubine Shu was silent for a moment, closed the booklet in front of her, put it down, then raised her eyes to look at her dowry, and said seriously: "Although I, Concubine Jing, and the three of them have always been at odds with each other since childhood. But with such a background, I It is common for the noble daughters-in-law to be dissatisfied with each other... When it comes to friendship, growing up together and getting along day and night, how could it not be possible? So no matter what Concubine Jing said and did when she went to Xuanqing Palace this time, did she feel sorry for me... Ben I just want to have peace of mind."
Zhuoshu whispered: "My servant knows that the empress has always been glorious..."
"I am not just Feng Jiyue." Concubine Shu shook her head and said, "I just... will not do anything to regret my sisters first."
She whispered, "Actually, Concubine Jing and Wan Jieyu know exactly what happened this time, but don't I know? Have I ever come forward? Have I contacted them during this period? I If the palace had knelt down with the imperial concubine earlier to beg for mercy and admit defeat... the imperial concubine might not necessarily have to kill them all! You know, the imperial concubine may not necessarily have the intention to kill me, Concubine Jing, or Wan Jieyu. After all, I, the concubine, these What kind of grievances do she have with her that make her want to kill her? The reason why the imperial concubine did this is simply because her grandfather not only failed to abide by the covenant and protect the imperial concubine in the previous dynasty, but instead blamed the imperial concubine... The imperial concubine could not swallow it alone. This tone; the second reason is that I don’t want people to think that she is easy to bully now!"
"As long as I stand up and keep my posture low enough to give the noble concubine a way to step down, this matter... will never come to this!"
"but… "
Concubine Shu smiled bitterly, "I am not only the good sisters of Concubine Jing and Wan Jieyu, but also the daughter of Ouyang family! I...can't do that! Moreover, I am a bit...can't afford that shame!"
"In short, no matter what others think, I still feel that I owe Concubine Jing and Wan Jieyu a lot... This time, I will just repay some..."
"Empress, how can I blame you for this?" Zhuoshu said with some unbearability, "This is simply caused by the imperial concubine's ambition! If the elders in the family don't think that the imperial concubine is too much, and she is quite pampered and arrogant and disobeys the holy will. Meaning, why wouldn’t you help her?”
As for Wan Jieyu's death, it was the result of the imperial concubine's cruelty and unreasonableness.
Why do you blame Concubine Shu again
I don’t want to think about it. When Concubine Shu was criticized and criticized by the imperial concubine, did Concubine Jing and Wan Jieyu ever stand up
They are said to be sisters, but they both have a standing, a family, and children... How can they be as considerate of each other as they were when they were young girls
Concubine Shu sighed, shook her head, and said nothing more, but her expression was very insistent.
Zhuoshu had no choice but to warn her: "Then if His Majesty does not like the candidate Luo's daughter, the empress must not insist on recommending her and make His Majesty unhappy!"
Afraid that Concubine Shu would not take it to heart, she reminded her again, "There have been many events in the court these past two days. Your Majesty has just imprisoned all the consorts of Princess Yun'an, so she must not be in a good mood. Your Majesty is now going to discuss the candidate for Marquis Yongchun's wife." , if His Majesty doesn’t like it but insists on recommending it... then... it may not be able to help Concubine Jing, and it may even make His Majesty furious, which will be even more detrimental to you and Concubine Jing!”
Concubine Shu agreed absent-mindedly, and ordered someone to prepare a chariot to the Taichu Palace. The palace attendants had just entered the palace to report. While Concubine Shu was waiting, she saw a chamberlain running towards the harem. His hair was disheveled due to running too much, and he looked very embarrassed. ... They were about to step forward to scold him for his lack of etiquette, but they heard him throw himself in front of the steps and shout sadly: "Something has happened to His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince!!!"
