Several of the emperor's heirs didn't know what was going on and were sincerely angry, especially Zhaoqing, who was very articulate. After seeing Chunjia, he burst into tears and asked repeatedly: "My sons and ministers usually call Mrs. Yiman mother concubine. I heard that mother concubine I have never had any trouble with her, so why does she treat my mother and concubine like this? Is it just because my mother and concubine are loved by my father, but my father rarely goes to her?"
She still doesn't know her life experience, let alone that Mrs. Yiman is the biological mother of the tenth prince. After thinking about it, the grudge between Ping Xianyi and Yun Fenghuang is probably a competition for favor.
This questioning and the true expression of aggrievedness made the emperor who was originally partial to the Huanqing Palace feel even more angry. He hugged his daughter and coaxed her softly, then comforted the princes and sent the children to the side palace for the time being. , then asked Chen Jing with a gloomy look: "What's going on?"
"Reply to Your Majesty." Chen Jing lay on the ground and said with tears streaming down his face, "Mrs. Yiman is the Queen's confidant, and she always takes pleasure in the misfortunes of the Huanqing Palace. These Queens have always known about it, but they don't care about it..."
The emperor's face was expressionless, but he believed it in his heart.
Because Yun Fenghuang has always had this attitude, it's not that she didn't know some of her earlier behavior and actions. In fact, the Sixth Palace didn't have any objections, but she just dared to be angry but dared not speak out. And every time something goes wrong in Xuanqing Palace, these people must be very happy in private. But she had too many things to be busy with, and she didn't bother to keep an eye on these people to see if they were whispering bad things about her.
No, it should be said that she would send people to keep an eye on her, but she was usually too lazy to talk about it.
Either it is a critical moment, such as this time, when we need to find fault and then settle the score.
As for Ping Xianyi's hostility towards the imperial concubine, anyone can understand it. Her biological tenth prince was raised by the queen as his legitimate son, and he might be able to take Chunjia's seat in the future.
Regardless of whether she is convinced of this or not, whether she may become the next Queen Mother Qu in the future, at least for now she is definitely standing with the Queen.
After all, without the queen, the tenth prince would have no chance of taking over the East Palace.
Under such circumstances, isn't it natural that Ping Xianyi dislikes and even hates Xuanqing Palace, which has the power to threaten the middle palace and the tenth and twelve princes
Chunjia motioned for Chen Jing to continue speaking.
Chen Jing continued: "But this time Mrs. Yiman went too far! Normally, the empress is generous and doesn't care. What happened this time? Half of the empress's life is almost gone... She is the empress. , in any case, he came to visit in person. On the surface, Mrs. Ping gave away things to express his annoyance, but turned around and was overjoyed in his own palace. He even summoned the palace servants to rehearse singing and dancing in private to celebrate! If the news had not spread, the servants would have Now they are all focused on serving the empress, and they really can't care about it. But this matter has come out! Even if the empress can bear it, several of your highnesses can't. What's more, His Highness King Jin is so old, and the smallpox incident earlier Son, he has suffered a lot. How can this person have the heart to curse such a small bloodline of the Tian family?"
These words are both true and false.
Ping Xianyi did not pay attention to the sorrow and sorrow of the imperial concubine. This was also human nature, because Concubine De and other concubines on the imperial concubine's side would not feel sad about the queen's bed.
As for the fact that he was overjoyed in private and summoned the palace staff to rehearse singing and dancing, that's true.
But even if Ping Xianyi was not a rich concubine, she was not a brainless person. No matter how happy she was that the imperial concubine was ill, she would not make it so obvious. In fact, I just feel that after the imperial concubine's blow, I'm afraid she won't be able to recover for a while. Furthermore, not to mention the imperial concubine’s biological mother, Jiang, but her biological father, Xie Jian, was shot and killed in full public view.
Given the imperial concubine's concern for her blood relatives, she might be able to observe filial piety for a year and a half.
In that case, the emperor will definitely have a lot of time to spare, isn't this an opportunity for people like them
She just wanted to take advantage of the situation and practice singing and dancing to get ahead, and see if it was possible to have another son and a half daughter
Besides, even if she can't give birth, given the emperor's talent and appearance, which concubine wouldn't want to be favored more
As a result, Chen Jing insisted that he was gloating about the misfortune and cursed the concubine and her son to die a good death. Ping Xianyi was confused and was dragged to the imperial court. After hearing the accusation, he was completely stunned!
He tried his best to cry out for injustice, but Chen Jing came well-prepared and had all the witnesses and material evidence. In the end, he knelt in front of the emperor and cried: "Although my wife has never taken care of Mrs. Yiman, she has never treated Qiongfang Palace badly! I really don't deserve it." Do you know why Mrs. Yiman can't tolerate Xuanqing Palace? Even His Highnesses King Qin can't tolerate her?"
Ping Xianyi's expression suddenly changed upon hearing these words.
Although she was born as a palace concubine and did not understand the overall situation, she had been with Gu Zhen for many years, and now she was his wife. No matter how ignorant and simple she was, after many years of ups and downs, she had learned some simple truths through her ears and eyes.
I couldn't tell that these words were not just directed at her, but were intended to burn the Queen!
After all, what Chen Jing said was true. Yun Fenghuang and Gu Zhen had fought several times. They had often embarrassed Gu Zhen in the past, but they had never had a direct conflict with Ping Xianyi.
The main reason was that Ping Xianyi's status was too low at the time, and Yun Fenghuang even downplayed her fight with her master, let alone put down his body to fight with her in person.
After that, she became a concubine. After all, she was no longer someone the concubine didn't know about. But Yun Fenghuang's position and power had risen to a higher level, so he looked down on her...
I don't feel bad because I don't like her, I don't feel sad... There are many people in this palace who have been groomed by the imperial concubine, but none of them are so openly resentful. Why would Ping Xianyi do this
It is hard not to think that this is actually what the queen meant.
The queen felt that the imperial concubine was a thorn in her flesh. Only when the imperial concubine and her wives were cold could she rest assured and be happy.
As a direct descendant of the queen, Ping Xianyi sincerely hopes that no chickens or dogs will be left in the Xuanqing Palace. Isn't it logical
"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I really did not do such a thing. The reason why I practiced singing and dancing was originally to wait for the imperial concubine to calm down and then personally go out to relieve the fatigue of the imperial concubine!" Ping Xianyi was so frightened in his heart that he knelt down. He stepped forward, grabbed the hem of Chunjia's clothes and begged, "I have only respect for the imperial concubine and never..."
"You bitch!" However, before she finished speaking, Chunjia lost her patience and directly raised her leg to kick her down. She said in a cold voice, "Don't play tricks on me here! Something happened to the imperial concubine's family. Now, how many people are in the harem?" You don’t know? But you still have the mind to think about singing and dancing. For this reason, it’s so heartbreaking!!!”
Ping Xianyi was speechless. After all, she was obsessed with dressing up and studying singing and dancing, and she really had no good intentions for the imperial concubine.
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell the truth but to please Chunjia, but looking at the furious emperor, she felt that it might be of no use if she told her, and might even incur the emperor's wrath.
So he just cried and denied, and begged repeatedly.
But the emperor had no friendship with her, and now he was more worried about the imperial concubine lying on the bed in Huanhua Palace. How could he have such skill with her? He directly ordered people to drag her down and execute her with a cane first, and finally sent her to Chongchang Palace. The queen is very disciplined!
When the queen heard about this, she was shocked and angry. When the bloody Ping Xianyi was brought to her, she was angry and resentful. She sent the rest of the people away and asked the reason in person. She learned that she wanted to take the opportunity to seduce the emperor, but somehow it was leaked. The news made Xuanqing Palace misunderstood, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "I told you this morning! With my future in mind, I will not treat you badly! You said it yourself, you have been a concubine in the past two years, Now you are the wife, have I wronged you?! Who dares to deduct the food and clothing expenses in daily life?! Are you not used to it after too many peaceful days?! You want to trick the emperor? , but if His Majesty values you, His Majesty won’t remember you very much in those years when you were in the palace before the imperial concubine?!"
Ping Xianyi was scolded and had nothing to say, so she just covered her face and cried.
Gu Zhen couldn't calm down, and said she was confused: "If you really want to keep your favor, it would be better to recommend some young and beautiful maids to His Majesty than you have such thoughts! If something happens, you can also recommend them. Give it to the maid! Now it’s okay, the noble concubine was originally suspicious. Now that she has determined that you are gloating about your misfortune, she must be determined not to change her story! Your Majesty wants me to deal with you personally, what do you think I should do with you? "
She was also in a dilemma. To be honest, Ping Xianyi really gave her a big trouble this time.
I also know that at this time, many people must have associated Mrs. Yiman with the middle palace, suspecting that the one who really takes pleasure in the concubine's misfortunes and wants to get rid of her is not Ping Xianyi, the concubine. The person who can get many benefits; but the queen.
Gu Zhen felt that Yun Fenghuang must retaliate. He was already in the pain of losing a loved one, and he was treated like this by his concubine. How could Yunfenghuang not explode
By then, Ping Xianyi might not be able to calm down the imperial concubine's anger, and she might even be hurt!
So if Chunjia directly dealt with Ping Xianyi, the queen really had no objection at all.
The key is that the emperor only punished him briefly, and then handed the person over to her, and she... what should she do? Ordinarily she would not be given a lenient sentence, otherwise how could she explain to the emperor and the noble concubine? But if the attack is too harsh, what will the tenth prince think when he grows up in two years
At the moment of embarrassment, the palace servants reported that the third prince, the tenth prince, and the twelve princes had come to pay their respects.
The queen took a deep breath several times and was about to order someone to lure the children away temporarily. However, the palace servant went out to spread the word. Finally, she came in alone with the tenth prince. She said with a helpless face that it was the tenth prince who insisted. How could she, a slave, dare to do so? Stopping the dignified prince
In particular, the Queen has always been particularly loving to her children, especially the tenth and twelve princes.
At this moment, the tenth prince entered the house without hesitation. He glanced at Ping Xianyi, went straight to the queen, helped her kneel down on her knees, and started crying: "Please, queen, please spare the life of the biological mother of this son and minister!"
Gu Zhen felt dizzy...
Like Yun Fenghuang, she didn't think she could hide her life experience from her child for the rest of her life, but she would never allow her child to know her life experience until she was sure that her relationship with the child was strong enough to overcome the natural closeness brought by blood.
I originally thought that since the 10th and 12th princes were young now, it would not be difficult to hide them.
The result? ? ?
