Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 995: stepping stone

Views:

After hearing this, Gu Zhen felt even more uncomfortable than what happened just now.

After all, she was used to losing to Xuanqing Palace.

Not to mention that it was a mistake for the tenth prince to smash the seventh prince's head this time. Earlier, Qin Wang Zhaoqing unreasonably made her and her children suffer injustice, and asked her to continue to suffer injustice.

But the loving mother Queen Mother...

Why couldn't she be wiser, work honestly, and simply die in the palace? ?

"Your Majesty, I packed up Chunnuo Palace two days ago." Gu Zhen suppressed his dissatisfaction and anger and said cautiously, "I also added many things to it..."

Fortunately, she remembered this incident. It would be hard for Chunjia to say anything to her this time, right

Sure enough, Chunjia's expression softened a little after hearing this, and she even praised: "The Queen is thoughtful."

At the end, he said, "I have discussed it with the Queen Mother. What the Queen Mother means is that she is now accustomed to the purity of the palace. There are many people in the palace, so she may not be able to live comfortably. In addition, the new King Fuyang is young and wants to take care of him." With the newly appointed King Fuyang, he will open the Fuyang Palace in the imperial capital and live alone. This will not only facilitate the teaching of Duke Xiang Ruocheng's son, but also facilitate my daily visits."

… Is this old guy so sensible? ?

Gu Zhen was overjoyed. The return of his loving mother, the Queen Mother, could no longer be stopped. Yun Fenghuang would not say this, let alone her.

Although I also knew that Empress Dowager Yuan would not be able to avoid causing trouble outside the palace, but... it was better than trying to cause trouble for her in the palace!

Moreover, it was convenient for Chunjia to visit her every day. In the past two years, the emperor had become very busy. It was not uncommon for him to miss the harem for ten days and a half, let alone leave the palace to visit the Queen Mother in Fuyang Palace.

So all year round, except for festival banquets, we actually don't see each other that much.

Anyway, it's better than Empress Dowager Yuan returning to Chunyou Palace.

"Wouldn't this be inconvenient?" Gu Zhen was very happy and kept saying, "Actually, the location of Chunnuo Palace is also clean. Maybe you can ask the Queen Mother to continue to come back to the palace. People like me will not be around in the future." Just go and bother.”

She secretly prayed that she was just talking and that the emperor would never think about it!

Fortunately, Chunjia was not stupid, and said: "You don't need to say more about this matter. As the result of repeated discussions between my mother and me, you just need to prepare things. I have already made some plans for Prince Fuyang's Mansion, so I will choose the past." That’s Prince Shu’s Mansion.”

Gu Zhen thought for a moment and remembered that the Prince Shu's Mansion he was talking about was the residence of King Shu, the son of Sejong.

King Shu is different from Shenzong. This is one of the most favored princes of Emperor Shizong. If he were not a direct descendant, he would probably be the crown prince.

Even after getting married at the age of fifteen, Emperor Sejong was reluctant to let him go and separated from himself. Under the pressure of his ministers, he just found an excuse to stay in the imperial capital, and also gave him a vast mansion with carved beams and painted edifices. live.

In order to make it easier for King Shu to enter the palace, the mansion was very close to the palace gate, and the garden was almost close to the palace wall.

Later, Shenzong succeeded in seizing the crown prince and had his nephew killed. King Shu kept no chickens or dogs in his mansion, and all the property in the mansion was returned to the treasury. Due to the large number of clan members and dignitaries who were killed at that time, even after receiving rewards from the three dynasties of Shenzong, Xiaozong and Chunjia, they still had many mansions in hand. At this moment, the emperor thought of it and decided to change it to Fuyang Palace.

King Fuyang is a county king, and his status is one level lower than King Shu.

In other words, the regulations of Prince Shu's Mansion were overstepped by Prince Fuyang. But the empress dowager had a special status, and the emperor spoke in person, so no one dared to say anything.

For example, Gu Zhen also thought of this, but did not dare to remind the emperor. He only lowered his eyebrows and said that he knew it and would prepare carefully to serve his loving mother the Queen Mother.

After sending Chunjia off in this way, the queen let out a long sigh, pinched her forehead for a while, and then summoned the tenth prince to her side and taught him to apologize to the seventh prince later.

This is what Chunjia demands, and it's not just an apology, but a series of punishments.

But the queen was afraid that the tenth prince wouldn't be able to bear it, so she just asked him to tidy up and go to the Xuanqing Palace with her to see the seventh prince later, and apologize to the concubine and the seventh prince.

As a result, the tenth prince stopped now: "I don't want to go! Seventh brother is not a good person, and neither does ninth brother! Erchen won't apologize! Who told him that he doesn't know how to hide? Erchen is just scaring him!" Maybe he did it on purpose! He just knew that my father would be back soon, so that he could make him feel distressed!"

"Who taught you these words?" The queen was slightly startled when she heard that. She had always been very protective of the tenth prince in front of Yin Qu, the Queen Mother, and Chun Jia. In addition to being the aunt, she must protect her as a aunt and uncle. In addition to the children who may be relied on in the end, I also sincerely feel that the tenth prince is simply young and ignorant.

However, when the tenth prince said this, she also felt that something was wrong.

To be honest, when she asked the tenth prince to come over, the queen also thought that the boy would refuse.

After all, she grew up in front of her. This child was a bit pampered, and she knew it.

But the queen didn't think this was a problem.

Aren’t King Qin and Zhaoqing pampered

If the third prince's life experience was not destined to compete with other brothers and sisters, she would definitely teach the third prince all kinds of arrogance.

After all, why should the children she raised have to be wronged and bullied

Gu Zhen himself was not favored, and when the adults came forward, he couldn't tear him apart from Xuanqing Palace.

As for the emperor's heirs under other concubines, they basically would not have any disputes with the children in the middle palace.

In her opinion, it would be better for the tenth prince to be more indulgent and overbearing.

In this way, if there is a conflict with the children of the imperial concubine in the future, it will not be easy to suffer.

Even if Chunjia goes off the rails and admits her mistake as a mother, she is the emperor's biological son. How can Chunjia take advantage of the tenth prince just because of a little conflict in the family? Furthermore, Mrs. Gu and others secretly speculated on the emperor's character, and felt that although the emperor kept silent, he might also love the gentle and well-behaved prince, but he would never cultivate him as a prince.

Just looking at Yun Fenghuang, the emperor's favorite concubine, we know that the emperor definitely prefers resolute, resolute, intelligent and calm heirs.

So if the tenth prince now yelled that he would not apologize to the seventh prince, Gu Zhen would understand.

She had already thought about how to coax this child.

As a result, the tenth prince immediately blamed the seventh prince for failing to avoid the inkstone... This...

Gu Zhen's heart sank, and he looked at the child in front of him carefully, and saw that he was angry, with a matter-of-fact look on his face: "No one taught me, but it's the seventh brother who is not good! He is an older brother, and all of them are beaten." But this younger brother, Erchen, doesn’t he deserve what he deserves?”

"What a slut!" Gu Zhen frowned slightly. She was from a wealthy family, not the kind of concubine picked from a small family, so she knew very well what you need to pay attention to when raising a child. You can teach him to be overbearing. It occupies a place in certain environments, but the roots cannot be crooked.

For example, you can help your relatives or not, but you have to figure out who is really right and who is wrong.

Otherwise, if your mind goes astray, your achievements will be limited or it will be difficult to end well.

"Fortunately, I discovered it early, but I have to correct him! Otherwise, if he is exposed later, the consequences will be even more disastrous..." The queen thought to herself, and said softly: "But your seventh brother is your elder brother, and he refuses to agree to your request. Why don't you come back and talk to your mother and ask her to come forward?"

Although she has always been suppressed by Yun Fenghuang, and the relationship between the two parties is also bumpy, but with the name of a mere palace maid, Gu Zhen feels that Yun Fenghuang may not be difficult.

"But the Queen is always very hard!" Gu Zhen was thinking about how to teach the tenth prince, when he suddenly heard the child say sweetly, "The child doesn't want to disturb the Queen all the time."

She was startled when she heard this, and then felt sour and surprised at the same time.

After all, the tenth prince has been very protective of the Ping family since he learned about his life experience. The queen didn't say anything, so how could she not be worried that she had raised him in vain

Now that I hear him being so considerate, I can't help but think of how many ups and downs I have experienced in the palace over the years. The emperor does not have her in his heart and has no particularly useful confidants. Even his family actually values the queen's identity more than her. this person.

It can be said that Gu Zhen has never really heard a word of pure sympathy for her in these years.

Even her biological mother, Mrs. Zhaowu Bo, loved her daughter very much, but she obviously paid more attention to her biological sons and her growing grandchildren.

The tenth prince was only six years old. Children at this age were still naive and would probably say whatever they thought.

Although the sentence was simple at this moment, in the eyes of the queen, it became more and more sincere.

She suddenly felt that she had gone too far in thinking that this child's character was twisted. In the final analysis, it was Xuanqing Palace who was always bullying the third prince and the others. The tenth prince had always had a close brotherly relationship with the third prince and was influenced by them. What good feelings can there be

After such a meeting, it is natural for conflicts to arise.

Speaking of which, she was a useless mother. She was suppressed by the imperial concubine at every turn and could not even protect the children in front of her.

Gu Zhen's heart was filled with ups and downs. He never expected the message revealed in the tenth prince's words.

... The next day, the queen finally persuaded the tenth prince to go to Xuanqing Palace to plead guilty. Before setting off, she had already made plans not to give face to the imperial concubine and her son.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Huanhua Hall, the imperial concubine immediately "forced herself" to come out to greet her and salute her. After sitting down, the queen said something, and Yun Fenghuang said in a reasonable manner that both brothers had their faults in this matter.

In the final analysis, the misunderstanding was caused by the fact that the children were usually in separate palaces, had too little contact with each other, and did not understand each other.

And he said: "I have already changed the name of the palace servant named Xian Yi and sent her to another place. I was also negligent about this matter because I was not in front of me, and it was rarely mentioned in the palace ban. As for Mrs. Yiman’s maiden name, I didn’t remember it.”

Then he asked the Queen and her son if they were satisfied with this.

Afterwards, he went to see the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince said weakly that although he had suffered a greater loss this time, who said that the Tenth Prince was his brother? As an older brother, he would not argue with his younger brother.

He just lightly told the tenth prince not to treat his brothers like this in the future and to learn from it, so he left it at that.

He even promised that he would persuade Yin Qu and his daughter to stop inciting public opinion and criticizing the tenth prince.

There was no embarrassment at all as expected, and it even went so smoothly that people couldn't believe it.

The queen couldn't be happy at all.

After returning to Chongchang Hall, she asked the tenth prince to go on his own, and immediately sent the news back to Zhaowu Uncle's Mansion.

When Mr. Gu heard the news, his expression turned bad: "That person from Xuanqing Palace has always been domineering and arrogant. She has always been the only one who bullies others. When will she be willing to suffer even the slightest loss? This time, it is not so much magnanimity as it is In order to let His Majesty see the magnanimity of their wives!"

"That man from Yin Qu has always valued the seventh prince."

"If the Seventh Prince speaks in person, he and Princess Yi will definitely listen to him, even if he feels dissatisfied."

"When the time comes, you can imagine how the Yin family will publicize it."

"It must be that although the tenth prince is despicable, cruel and disrespectful to his elder brother, the seventh prince, who is only seven years old, has a very brotherly demeanor and is willing to repay evil with kindness..."

"But they stepped on the tenth prince, and even stepped on the middle palace, and fulfilled the reputation of the two daughters of Xuanqing Palace!"

He thought that this matter must be Yun Fenghuang's conspiracy.

As we all know, Concubine Min was not of high birth. After entering the palace, she began to kill everyone without stopping. Although she was promoted quickly, her reputation in the previous harem and even among the people was not to say how bad it was. Anyway, she had nothing to do with virtuous and virtuous people. Not much of a relationship.

Even when King Qin and his oldest heirs began to attend school, they still failed to gain an absolute upper hand in educating their children.

But after this incident, Yun Fenghuang will definitely be labeled as "virtuous".

Think about it, the seventh prince is the elder brother of the tenth prince! She is still the only flesh and blood of Concubine Wen Hui, the grandson of the Yin family and the nephew of Princess Yi... With such a noble status, such a ranking, plus the notoriety that the ten princes were exaggerated in the early stage, what kind of virtuous empress must be able to teach A good boy who cares about the overall situation of his brothers and sisters, is open-minded and does not hold grudges at such a young age? ?

With the momentum and the significance of this incident, it is unlikely that it will be recorded in the history books and become an anecdote!

After a few years like this, I'm afraid Yun Fenghuang will be a virtuous concubine certified by history books!

And when the time comes, where will the queen be

Where is Gu

You must not be a stepping stone for Yun Fenghuang!
