"How many newlyweds does the imperial concubine want to save? Don't be kidding. That empress kills people, which is a good thing. Since she entered the palace, the concubines who have disappeared in the palace are rarely related to her. When will she be saved? Outstanding?" The eldest princess of Dongxing listened to the report from the Didong people, snorted and said, "Besides, those newcomers are not in good luck. It is not a good time to enter the palace, but when the harem is in trouble, will they dress up? The beautiful flowers are in the front, accompanying the majesty Yingying Yanyan, so happy... If it were us, when we were guarding our children and struggling for our lives, someone was trying to flirt with our husband. Wouldn't we be angry? Doesn't the imperial concubine have a good temper? Feeling sorry for those newcomers who fell into Concubine An’s lap? Maybe Concubine An hasn’t done anything for many years, and this time she suddenly fell into the trap of the newcomers, or maybe Concubine An is trying to kill people with a borrowed knife!”
Several daughters-in-law looked at each other a little awkwardly, and one of them whispered: "But the three ladies from the Xie family just said that the imperial concubine is quite sympathetic to the newlyweds, so... maybe, the imperial concubine may not I sincerely pity the newlyweds, but what does Bidong mean? After all, the imperial concubine has always been the best at figuring out the holy will."
"...That's not very good." Princess Dongxing thought for a while, shook her head and said, "We don't understand the emperor. The emperor can sleep under Ji's legs for many years. Isn't he so careless? In fact, No matter how delicate the emperor's thoughts are, if he was not sincere in wronging the newcomer, he would not have let Concubine An take Shumo away in the first place. Since he did not stop Concubine An, it can be seen that the newcomer's status in his mind is just that... Emperor Ruming His heart is not with the imperial concubine. In that case, how could he show his intolerance to the new couple in front of the imperial concubine? Should he go to the empress or directly instruct Concubine An? Isn't it difficult for the emperor? "
The eldest princess pondered for a while and said, "The imperial concubine should have other arrangements... Alas, I am getting old, and I no longer follow the imperial concubine's thoughts."
The daughters-in-law hurriedly comforted them, and finally asked for instructions: "Do the ladies from the Xie family hope that our family can help? In that case, mother, can we do something?"
"Have you heard anything from Hengyan?" The eldest princess did not answer the question immediately, so she asked.
When he found out that Concubine De didn't send any news to her parents' family, Dongxing thought for a moment and then shook his head, "Miss Xie's family, just give it a perfunctory treatment. Concubine is a kind person. If you really need our family to do something, why don't you give it to De Concubine directly?" Concubine said? How could she just hand over a few little girls? I was wondering if she was deliberately cultivating a few children."
Then he ordered, "In that case, first spread the word to the outside world, saying that the Xie girls raised by the imperial concubine are all kind-hearted. I am very disapproving of Concubine An's recent actions. I can't say anything because of my identity. .”
"Would that displease Bidong or the empress dowager?" The daughters-in-law were a little hesitant, "I heard that Concubine An went to Chongchang Hall to cause trouble, and the empress didn't even dare to show her face..."
"The Queen is asking if it's true that Concubine An's aunt and nephew are so frightened. How did the news spread so widely?" Dongxing sighed, "Isn't it just to give Bidong face? It just seems that Bidong has not ordered outsiders not to talk nonsense about Concubine An. I know that he has wronged Concubine An's affection, and he has spent a lot of money... Is Dongbu Nao looking at the face of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager. But our emperor... "
She hesitated to speak, looked around, and saw that no one was with her, so she lowered her voice and said slowly, "Our emperor was very prepared for a rainy day. I'm afraid that at that moment, he was already thinking about whether his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, would take advantage of it." In the past, he was so affectionate and filial, so what should he do? In this case, we think, he would hope that the reputation of the loving mother, the Queen Mother, her aunt and her nephew would be spotless. No, the loving mother, the Queen Mother, has not yet spoken, but people outside have already recognized the Queen Mother. Is she being unreasonable? Don’t forget, when Minghui relied on her identity as the late emperor’s legitimate daughter to falsely accuse the imperial concubine in public, could Bidong be helpless?”
"If you don't remember such a lesson very well, then you are in vain as a wise king!"
All in all, in Dongxing's opinion, Chun Jia is not the kind of person who takes the initiative first in his lap no matter what happens.
That's not surprising. After all, the emperor Jian Zuo was fifteen years old and had been in Ji's lap for nearly ten years. How could he not have a long memory
Chunjia believed that the Queen Mother Yuan would not break up with him to the extent of talking about her past love affairs; he deliberately allowed the Queen and others to ruin the reputation of the Queen Mother and establish an unreasonable and even foolish person in front of the people of Tiandong. Just know that the image of the Queen Mother who protects her shortcomings is not contradictory.
At least there is no contradiction in Chunjia's view.
His purpose is to prevent the Queen Mother from being able to threaten him. He may be very willing to continue to treat the Queen Mother favorably. Anyway, how did he get the power and leverage in the past? The emperor must personally hold it.
This is what an emperor can do.
Dongxing knows that kind of instinct all too well. Her biological father Shizong, half-brother Shenzong, and nephew Xiaozong all don't have that tone.
The only difference is that some emperors succeeded and some failed.
So far, Chunjia is clearly on the successful side.
"Rongzhi was speaking ill of Concubine An outside at that time, so I asked him not to accuse his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, of course. It doesn't matter. " Dongxing concluded slowly, "After all, Concubine An and Bidong were childhood sweethearts. In the past few years, she had lost favor and had a bad temper. She made trouble again and again, but Bidong still kept her in the palace. , do we think that your Majesty misses the old love? How do we know that Bidong wants us to think that he misses his old relationship? "
I want to know, the reason why Ji family judged that Chunjia was not to be feared at the beginning was because Chunjia was not close to the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, Ji Lingzi, and that she was mediocre in talent, appearance, and had a very bad temperament. A good mother-in-law is always obedient and obedient.
In the eyes of Ji, who was used to intrigues and intrigues, the emperor was indecisive and did not know the importance of matters, so he was easy to control.
But after the emperor came to power, especially after the demise of the Ji family and the regent, everyone gradually forgot about that past event.
At this moment, when Dongxing mentioned it, I was shocked!
"Both the emperor's and the emperor's wives did not go well. But which emperor wants to be considered mean and ungrateful? Concubine An's reputation in the harem of the previous dynasty was not good, and she was indeed not good. Just such a master, Your Majesty Even if Dong was disgusted with her, he still kept her in the palace in a glorious manner, serving her with fine clothes and fine food. For this reason, the people of Dong didn't think that the emperor wanted to kill the Ji family, the Yuan family, and the regent. Forced? In fact, the emperor is not very generous. Otherwise, how many people can bear Concubine An's behavior? But who knows what the emperor thinks? Having more people in the palace is nothing. He can raise Concubine An, but he can be stable. How many people’s hearts live in…”
Dongxing sighed with some lack of interest, "I'm telling you, in that position, if you can walk steadily, there will be no fuel-saving lamp! Don't watch the scene!"
"The imperial concubine is so powerful. With such an emperor, she was able to win the emperor's favor all those years ago!" A daughter-in-law couldn't help but said, "Isn't it really rare for her to have such a background?"
Dongxing said: "She has such luck, they can't envy her. That's all, let's not talk about that, let's make arrangements. The imperial concubine is not very mean-spirited, and we can't do anything she orders Donglai to do, even if she doesn't order it tactfully. It’s just a matter of neglect.”
When the eldest princess said that, she felt a little sad. Did she remember that when Shizong was alive, how could she need to be so cautious in guessing the emperor's heart, for fear of offending his beloved concubine
At that time, she was one of Sejong's most favored daughters.
Say whatever you want, do whatever you want, and sometimes if you mess up, Shizong will not blame him, but if he just wants to cry and make a scene, Shizong suddenly feels heartbroken again...
At that time, it was too late for the former harem to try their best to find out her preferences. Who dared to ask her to look at her face
However, after Sejong left...
Dongxing couldn't help but feel a little envious of Zhaoqing. She was the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she cared about him deeply. Please, if Chunjia doesn't die young, when he passes away, Zhaoqing's descendants should support the family no matter what. Is that enough? In turn, he supported Zhaoqing.
But she is not like a little daughter like herself. When she was young, she was used to relying on her father's favor to show off her power. Before her youth was over and her temper had not yet been tempered by time, she rushed to take charge of the house with her half-brother, who had a bad relationship. In an instant, he lowered his eyebrows and behaved in a pleasing manner.
Zhaoqing didn't know what his great-aunt was thinking. Within two days, he followed Yun Fenghuang's instructions and went to the Taichu Palace to ask for an audience with Chunjia. He said that he missed his father after not seeing him for several months. It happened that the women's school started to teach needlework. , she made a prayer purse and wanted to give it to the emperor personally.
Chunjia's government affairs are busy, but recently there are no urgent matters that need to be dealt with immediately. If he is willing to take time, he can finally find it.
Zhaoqing was originally his doting daughter, but when he heard this, his heart softened and he ordered someone to take her in.
