"I heard that the noble concubine is very restless and wants to have fun in the palace?" Mrs. Zhaowu asked straight to the point when she met the queen.
Gu Zhen nodded slightly: "Is that the case... What's wrong?"
Mrs. Zhaowu Bo looked at her expression carefully: "Do you agree?"
"I don't agree." Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "The imperial concubine has always been thoughtful, and the reason she came up with that time almost made his heart move. But looking back and thinking about it, who knows whether it is true or not? Even if it is true, it still doesn't matter. It's hard to guarantee that she doesn't have other ideas. Didn't my grandfather say it before? We should be forbearing, and it's better to be silent than to move. Besides, my father is about to arrive in the Imperial Capital, and I don't know what it will be like when the time comes. The imperial concubine is rushing to that time. Who knows what the purpose of making such a request is? Although Bi Dongcuo has a promise to him, can he... "
Does Chunjia really like Concubine Chunjia
The queen sighed and said a little tiredly, "It's better to be safe." Even if doing so would make the imperial concubine unhappy, she would not be able to file a complaint with Bidong. However, Bidong didn't like him either. "
It's not like she relied on the emperor's favor to get her position.
So if you want to be more open-minded, you might as well learn from the Empress Ji Lingzi of the Yuan Dynasty. If the emperor likes her, just like her, and beg him not to abolish the empress, and don't expect him to treat the middle palace wrongly.
"Have you ever thought about it? Even if Emperor Bibi doesn't have the intention to abandon our family." Mrs. Zhaowu uncle pursed her lips and whispered, "But the imperial concubine is obviously very ambitious... She is trying every means to stir up trouble, forever and ever. It’s hard to say! Even if the twelfth prince was raised at his Majesty’s knees in the Ming Dynasty, the Tenth Prince was still very much in his heart. But consider that among the abandoned princes of the previous dynasty, when they reached middle age, they were treated as if they were treasures by their father. , but was abandoned by Junfu in his later years... one or two! Even if our family doesn't do anything we shouldn't do, sometimes it's okay to just go with the flow."
Gu Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Is that what you meant, mother?"
"Just let her organize the banquet." Mrs. Zhaowu Bo narrowed her eyes, "Have I forgotten how Concubine Mu entered the palace?"
Those words made Gu Zhen startled, and then he said: "But since Twelve have already landed, I'm afraid that Dong Bi will not agree..."
"Just ask for a new member in the palace. Why do you have to ask for someone from our family?" Mrs. Zhaowu Bo said lightly, "My grandfather and the others have discussed it and said that the imperial concubine was more doted on than Concubine An in the Ming Dynasty. But, Counting the time, Bidong's novelty has almost passed. Even if her legs are better than An Fei's, at most Bidong won't be tired of her, and Bidong won't care about the Sixth Palace from now on. Are you adding another person? Is it really to that extent? I said, why is our family so struggling? Anyway, she didn’t ask for the banquet. When things go wrong, who can be blamed? Don’t forget the concubine’s confinement period. , the legitimate daughter of the Meng family and the Ouyang family died in her legs! Both families have great families, even if it hinders Bi Dong from doing anything to the imperial concubine, he will spend great efforts to find some people to share the imperial concubine's favor. , is it difficult?”
"Only you and the others have already enmity with the imperial concubine, and they don't care if they have more or less grudges. "
"It's best if it works, but if it doesn't work, you won't lose anything."
"In this way, our family can take advantage of the situation and become good people. After my father comes back, he will be less criticized by the previous government."
In fact, the Gu family and the imperial court did not have much grievances in the east, but they could not withstand the increasing power of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers had no choice but to think about it.
Some people wonder if the emperor can win favor by asking for the wrong pay to the Gu family, so as not to rush to the east and accuse the wrong Gu family... And if the Gu family is not sure about the emperor's specific thoughts, it is difficult not to worry about the emperor's original intention. I don't plan to do anything to the Gu family. After reading too many impeachment forms handed over by those people, there may be some clever words that will sway the emperor. Let them cool down
Therefore, since the Gu family is in the east, they can consider everything carefully.
Gu Zhen listened, frowned slightly, and said: "It's true that he looks down on the Meng family and the Ouyang family, and those two families are not stupid. They asked if they could show it to make the emperor's heart flutter. He ignored the beauty of the imperial concubine. Wouldn't he have done it earlier? Presented here? Even if they consider their own reputation, Yongwanzhe is afraid of offending the imperial concubine and making their legitimate daughter's confinement in the palace difficult, so there is still some way to hide it from others and send it to Bidong? Don't Bidong wait like that? I don’t know whether Yi Shi in the palace, a shallow person who is greedy for beauty, is truly a beauty that will captivate the country. But I see that since she entered the palace, even if Ru Ming is in the concubine position, she actually wants to Nor can I rely on the support of the imperial concubine."
"Among those in their group, Bidong has visited her more often, but after all, she is just an ordinary boredom-relieving thing, and there is no comparison with the imperial concubine!"
"Although he doesn't like the imperial concubine, he has to admit that the imperial concubine's favor is not purely based on her beauty."
"Even if we find a candidate who can match the appearance of the Yi family, and ask Bidong to agree to accept Donglai, it's really hard to say how many days he can survive in the palace... Don't forget that the Ouyang family and the Meng family have the earlier Zheng family, like that My family background and status are all in the lap of the imperial concubine, let alone others?"
She didn't think that Chunjia was so fond of Yun Fenghuang that he didn't even look at other stunning women. No, it was useless to make the emperor temporarily distracted!
The imperial concubine and An Fei, whom she had favored earlier, were not the same person at all.
Not to mention the difference in legs between the two concubines, let's just say that they were different from the perspective that the emperor cared about.
Concubine An really only cares about Chunjia, so it seems that there is no good person in the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, and she does not allow Chunjia to get close to anyone else, even the legitimate daughter of an important official like Concubine Zhenxi who Chunjia relies on the most. No exception, her feelings are very sincere, and she is too petty for the emperor, which is simply a stumbling block; as for Concubine Min, she is amazing. Since she entered the palace, she has tried every means to improve her. position, tried every means to seize power, tried every means to support his cronies, tried every means to benefit his natal family, tried every means to seize the emperor's heir, tried every means to be in the limelight... But no!
Chunjia was lucky enough to have other concubines, but she was very generous.
As long as her refusal to ask for permission hindered her future, occasionally the emperor wanted to change his taste, but she never cared about it. She even often took the initiative to recommend her own concubines to serve Chunjia.
...That's why the queen felt that the imperial concubine was more of a threat than Concubine An.
After all, in the eyes of her and other people in the former harem, it was clear that Concubine Min was very arrogant in her position, she was very pushy and strong, and she wanted to be with the emperor for the rest of her life. Apart from her mother Yitian, What is Dong very worried about
Helpless, Chun Jiabao seemed confused, always feeling that "the imperial concubine just doesn't have that kind of temperament."
No, maybe Chunjia didn't know it in her heart, or she didn't want to admit it because she doted on the concubine.
In short, arranging fresh beauties for the emperor's favor would be like a thunderbolt from the blue for the former favorite concubine An Fei; but for the current favorite concubine Yun Fenghuang... she didn't have any fluctuations in her heart at all. He slept as soon as possible. Anyway, there were many concubines like Ruming in the palace. Chunjia didn't sleep with new people, but would occasionally sleep with other people.
She doesn't care.
Even the queen could think that if the new couple was unobstructed and sensible, Yun Fenghuang Keke would be a good person and give him a higher position, reward him with something, etc., and then go back to pretending to be true and pretending to be coquettish with the emperor - Son, coaxing Chunjia to hurt her even more.
Is it true that a newcomer who can threaten Yun Fenghuang's level is really arranged? Then... The queen can be sure that Yunfeng Huang will cut through the mess quickly and kill him directly without giving him a chance to grow.
After all, was Yun Fenghuang herself a pseudo-noble girl who came from a humble family and climbed to her current status? Does she not understand the principle of guarding against the slightest
Chunjia's life experience was full of twists and turns, her city was deep and her emotions were restrained, and she was not a person with crooked ambitions who could fall in love at first sight.
No matter how agreeable the new guy is, how can he be compared to Yun Fenghuang after being with him for only a short time
Thinking of this, Gu Zhen couldn't help but persuade Mrs. Zhaowu to stop being so whimsical: "Since the imperial concubine was favored, she has often offended the previous dynasty and the harem. It seems that no one uses this method to divide her favor, so there must be a reason. He can't see it and doesn't ask for trouble. Yes. Speaking of which, Concubine An is useless. The love between childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts was actually betrayed by the daughter of a border squire!"
It felt inappropriate to say that: no matter how useless Concubine An was, she had been pampered for many years, so what are those of them who have never been pampered...
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhaowu didn't think too much. Even if she thought about it, she would definitely not ridicule her biological daughter, so she insisted: "It doesn't take much effort, why not give it a try? Besides, our family doesn't plan to arrange anyone this time." , just give others a chance... Moreover, the imperial concubine has been suppressing the Sixth Palace for a day or two. This time, even the legitimate daughter of the Ouyang family is gone. Who else dares to talk back to her? Then I am wrong about going east. What's the benefit? It's better to ask other people to join in. In this way, even if you can't pay the imperial concubine temporarily, you can still let her have sex frequently, which will somewhat wear off some of Bidong's love for her. I know that Bidong is actually I don’t want the imperial concubine to be too noisy.”
Speaking of that, the Queen pondered for a moment, and then agreed to Dong Lai's advice, but she was uneasy: "When we plotted against the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine might have had other ideas. If we had not plotted against her..."
"Why don't you call me sick?" Mrs. Zhaowu Bo didn't even think about it. Concubine Min was a scheming person. She relied on the emperor's favor and was very carefree in her daily behavior and keeping her mouth shut. The queen had nothing to do with her.
If Ru Ming comes to discuss things with the queen in person, most of the people who come will be unkind.
He suggested, "Anyway, when the empress was lying in bed, the palace affairs were not handled by the imperial concubine. There is no reason why if you don't pay attention to the affairs, the excitement will not be saved. Why don't you stay in Yanfu Palace and let the imperial concubine go on her own? Go away! No matter what happens when the time comes, it will be your concubine’s responsibility and has nothing to do with you!"
Gu Zhen didn't think about it. Anyway, he would have used the trick that time to set up a situation for other people who wanted to target the wrong concubine.
Then why bother doing it yourself and risk taking the blame later
Didn't he send Mrs. Zhaowu away and send someone to tell the concubine that he agreed with Yun Fenghuang's request? Because he had been taking care of the tenth prince with no clothes on, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he was worried that he would not be able to handle this. If Yun Fenghuang definitely wants to do something about it, then Yunfenghuang can worry about it himself.
"I heard that Mrs. Zhaowu had just left?" Yun Fenghuang said slightly after hearing this, "Is the Queen alert this time?"
If Gu Zhen really agreed to host the banquet and didn't shy away from it because of illness, then she really wanted to frame the queen for Xie Meng's termination of the engagement with Deng Chengzhai.
But since the queen had pushed 265, Yun Fenghuang thought about Dong Ruming's high position in the palace, Concubine De was her own, Concubine Xian had a special status, and to the east... Tsk, there was no one to beat.
She shook her head and ordered someone to call Concubine De over: "Since the Queen is asking for some rest, I naturally don't dare to disturb you. I haven't hosted the palace banquets on the left and right, so I asked Concubine De to give her a break. stop."
