Now that he came, Zong Cong didn't let Pan'er go, and kept her here overnight.
This is just a very common thing, except that Pan'er secretly thought that if the Crown Princess knew about it, she would definitely not think well. But she didn't want to dampen Zong Cong's interest, after all, he was very tired during this time, he had to worry about inside and outside the palace, old and new ministers had to be appeased, it was rare to relax.
On the other side of the East Palace, as expected, there was a shock, and the shock was even bigger than she had imagined.
The main reason is that the prince has ascended the throne, but has not issued a big imperial edict.
The Crown Princess naturally didn't expect Zong Cong to be stuck with the Supreme Emperor. After all, the Supreme Emperor is still there. As his son, how can the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Emperor's concubines not settle well? Instead, he is anxious to settle his own harem first. It is the attention of all people, the new emperor ascends the throne, everyone is watching.
The imperial edict has not been issued, and the Crown Princess has been feeling uneasy. After all, it is not impossible for the Crown Princess to fail to become a queen. If the new emperor is really confused by that foxy son, he wants to give her the throne
The Crown Princess couldn't help thinking about the death of the King of Chu, and she also thought about it afterwards. At that time, the Crown Prince could only kill the King of Chu for Su Pan'er.
He actually killed his brother and put himself in such a dangerous position? So even if he got confused and gave her the back seat, it wouldn't be surprising.
The princess thought about it every day, and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
Fuchun probably knew what the princess was anxious about, but she didn't dare to persuade her about this kind of thing, who knew if it would stir up any sensitive nerves of the princess.
So the whole Jide hall was so anxious.
Until today, someone from the Qianqing Palace passed the plate away, and it is said that there is still a pair of shoulders with him, because he is afraid that people will be tired from walking and have to carry it
Even if the Crown Princess kept telling herself that His Majesty had just ascended the throne, he must be busy with government affairs, and he would have to finish his court affairs first before he would be interested in settling the harem.
But now that he obviously has free time, he didn't issue an edict, but instead passed on that woman? What are you going to do? Is it to discuss the post-sealing matter
The princess didn't think about it anymore, she went to the Buddhist hall.
Now there is a special Buddhist hall behind Jide hall, whenever she feels restless, she will go to the Buddhist hall to stay for a while. Over the years, her tolerance and patience have been cultivated in this way.
But Fu Chun felt that it was impossible, so after thinking about it, he sent someone out of the palace to deliver a message to the Chen family. The Crown Princess obviously needs someone to explain it to her now, this is not something she can do as a slave.
The princess stayed in the Buddhist hall for a whole afternoon, and she was not the only one who didn't sleep that night.
On the next day, when they heard that Su Liangdi had stayed in Qianqing Palace and had not come back, many people couldn't sit still. Obviously during this period of time, because they were in Xiyuan, and then returned to the palace for the crown prince's enthronement, the matter of paying respects has been suspended for several days, and there was no one to make an appointment early in the morning, so they all came to Jide Hall.
Now that they are all here, it is naturally impossible for the Crown Princess to disappear.
It's still the same old routine, please sit down and drink tea, the tea is almost finished, but no one mentions that Su Liangdi stayed in Qianqing Palace and didn't come back, it's all about you looking at me and I think you want to wait for others to speak.
Xu Liangyuan didn't care about it, she had a son and everything was fine, but naturally she couldn't do things independently, she was the most leisurely one here.
Another leisurely person is Hu Liangdi. She is not so much curious about Su Liangdi's stay in the Qianqing Palace, but rather she is curious about the reaction of the Crown Princess, because since she came in, her eyeballs have been sticking to the Crown Princess's face, and it seems that she is not happy. Dig out the princess's distraught look, a bit unwilling.
In the end, it was Li Liangyuan who spoke. She really deserves everyone's evaluation of her—stupid and brainless.
"Princess Concubine, I heard that Su Liangdi has gone to Qianqing Palace, and she hasn't come back yet. What do you think His Majesty called her there for? Why didn't you say that you called all the concubine together? I haven't seen you since she is so big. What does the Qianqing Palace look like? Even if the concubine is not allowed to go, the Crown Princess should be the one to go, why is it her turn to be a little Liang Di?"
The Crown Princess said with a dark face, "You want to go to the Qing Palace so much? Can I have someone send you there now?"
"Then there's no need." Li Liangyuan waved her hands again and again, seeing that the Crown Princess was unhappy, so she quickly fell silent.
"Everyone go back and stay, the more it is at this time, the more it will not stop!" After finishing speaking, the princess went in.
It has been a long time since the Crown Princess has been so angry, it is fine for an old man like Hu Liangdi, and someone like Qian Fengyi is unavoidably timid.
After coming out, they didn't dare to speak, so they went to their own courtyards.
Li Liangyuan was very aggrieved: "What did the Crown Princess get angry at me for? If she wanted to get angry, it should be directed at Su Liangdi."
Hu Liangdi covered her mouth and smiled, and left.
Xu Liangyuan also left.
Li Liangyuan was not interested in being wronged by herself, and left angrily.
The Chen family entered the palace the next day, and the person who came was Mrs. Chen Er, the wife of the crown princess.
After the second lady arrived, she took the Crown Princess by the hand and looked her up and down, and said, "Fuchun asked someone to go back and pass the message, so I hurried to go to the palace to see you. Originally, the old lady didn't want me to come, so she said Let your eldest aunt come, you are my daughter, what can she do as an eldest aunt, can she speak her own words or do something, so I am here. "
The princess went to see Fuchun, and Fuchun hurriedly knelt down.
In front of the Second Madam, the Crown Princess couldn't say anything, so she could only get her up, and then waved everyone away, leaving the mother and daughter to talk.
"Did that little bitch bully you again? Mother was really blind at the time, thinking that she was honest and peaceful, and it was your eldest brother-in-law who was too good at pretending. No, he is not your eldest brother-in-law now, and this Pei is also a An unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, mother treats him no differently from her own son-in-law, but he is better off, and instead he is estranged from our Chen family by praising that little bitch's stinky feet."
The Crown Princess knew about this a long time ago, but if Pei Yongchang deliberately distanced himself from the Chen family, he would be wronged a bit.
It was the second wife who learned of what happened during the prince's southern tour, and sent a letter to scold him bloody. Pei Yongchang even went to Beijing to plead guilty to the Chen family. Not only did the second wife not see him, she even sent someone to Yangzhou to let Da The daughter and Pei Yongchang reconciled.
The second wife is not a good match, what can a concubine do in her hands, she finally got out of the bitter water, although Pei Yongchang loves to raise a few skinny horses, and there are many concubines in his family, but she is a concubine. The daughter of her hometown, Pei's family gave her up and down.
Let her make peace with Pei Yongchang now, what will happen after the reconciliation? The second wife only wanted to vent her anger, but didn't think about her future at all, so the concubine naturally didn't want to.
In this way, although they still bear the name of daughter and son-in-law, they actually have no affection for each other.
If Pei Yongchang can't be restrained, the second lady naturally doesn't have any good means to restrain the plate. In the past few years, whenever there is a palace banquet in the palace, she has given some advice to the princess when she enters the palace, but those ideas she gave are not drugs. It is to bribe someone to frame them.
Only now did the princess find out where her previous problems were, and why the prince became more and more indifferent to her.
Because at that time her vision was too narrow, and her methods were too clumsy for the people in the palace. She didn't mention how the Crown Princess introspected herself and felt ashamed. She was useless for any of the second wife's ideas, which meant that the second wife had said nothing.
This time when Fuchun passed the word back, the old lady knew what her granddaughter was anxious about without thinking too much. She originally wanted to go to the palace to mention something to the princess, but the more important people are on the cusp of this kind of limelight, The more you have to be cautious in your words and deeds.
Now it seems that the situation is calm, but in fact, the Chen family and even the princess are all in the spotlight.
The old lady originally planned to let the eldest lady come. In her eyes, the eldest lady has always been a stable person, and she will definitely be able to convey her meaning.
But the Second Madam clamored to come in person again, it was really outrageous, and the old Madam couldn't persuade her, so in the end it was the Second Madam who came.
The old lady also comforted herself, the second lady is the mother of the crown princess, she can justify entering the palace at this time, and she won't be too conspicuous. If she knew that the Second Madam came up and had such a phone call with the Crown Princess, she would probably be so angry that she would jump out of Rong'an Hall and take the Second Madam back.
"Just before I entered the East Palace, I heard that the new emperor summoned that little bitch to Qianqing Palace. Is there such a thing?" Second Madam asked again.
The Crown Princess woke up and asked, "Mother, who did you hear that from?"
"Who else... are the two eunuchs." The second lady didn't take it seriously.
But the Crown Princess asked: "Please tell me clearly, where did you meet, what kind of eunuch, how did you hear about this?"
The Second Madam was a little puzzled by the attitude of the Crown Princess, but she answered honestly: "I just entered the Shenwumen, on the way to the East Palace, I came from the Imperial Garden, and there are two little eunuchs in the corridor of the Imperial Garden. While speaking, I suddenly mentioned this matter, and said that the new emperor has not issued a posthumous imperial edict, is there anything worth pondering about, after all, it is well known that Su Liangdi in the Eastern Palace is favored."
At this time, the crown princess calmed down instead.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the second lady became a little anxious: "What are you asking for? Isn't it wrong? But if it wasn't for this matter, Fu Chun was afraid that someone would deliver the letter to the mansion behind his back. What an omission. Your grandmother is fine, she is not in a hurry at all, and she asked me to tell you not to worry, just wait quietly, let me say that your grandmother is old and confused, can this kind of thing be waiting? with?"
The princess took a deep breath and said, "Mother, we are all following other people's ways."
"What's the meaning?"
The Crown Princess sighed a little tiredly, and said: "It is true that it is true, and His Majesty has indeed summoned her to the Qianqing Palace, because the edict has not been issued after the seal, and Fuchun sent someone to deliver a letter outside the palace. If someone noticed, those two little eunuchs may have deliberately arranged for someone to tell you, or someone else in the Chen family would listen."
The Chen family is not in the palace, if they hear this in the palace, they must think that everyone in the palace knows about it, and the status of the Crown Princess is worrying. And if the Crown Princess was not in a hurry, she wouldn't let the maid in the palace deliver the letter.
The hatchbacks are so close together, if something happens to the Chen family or the crown princess, the first joke after the new emperor ascends the throne will come from the East Palace and his crown princess.
What face will the new emperor have when the time comes? If he is angry and does not make the crown princess the queen, it will definitely embarrass the Chen family. The Chen family has always been a staunch supporter of the prince, holding the leading position among the civil servants, if the two have a quarrel, it is tantamount to the end of both of them being defeated.
Whether the new emperor will be defeated is hard to say, after all, he is already the emperor, but the Chen family and even her princess will definitely not end well.
After being in the palace for so many years, the princess has often felt the threat in the palace, but in terms of real crisis, except for the death of King Chu in Xiyuan, this is the first time she has encountered such malice against her.
It made her feel cold to the bottom of her heart, and she was sincerely glad that she was not the same person she used to be.
At the same time, he calmed down. She shouldn't be suspicious of His Majesty, even if His Majesty only retains a little affection for her as husband and wife, but now the two of them are both prosperous and detrimental, and with His Majesty's character, it is impossible to do something self-defeating.
Thinking about it this way, she calmed down and went to persuade the second lady instead.
"Mother, don't think about it too much. Fuchun delivered the letter in private. My daughter is actually fine. I have been married to His Majesty for many years, and Duo'er, it is impossible for him to ignore the relationship between husband and wife and not make me queen."
"Then tell me who did this, why is it so vicious, could it be that little slut?" The second madam hates Pan'er so much now that she can think of everything about her.
"She doesn't have that ability. It should be Concubine Gao and King Qi, or Concubine Qian De and King Yan."
The concubine is more inclined to belong to the lineage of the king of Qi. The king of Qi failed to fulfill his wish, so he could only watch the prince ascend the throne. It is conceivable that he felt aggrieved. However, Concubine Gao is quite powerful in the palace, so she arranged for two young eunuchs to talk about corners , It was a breeze for her.
"Then even if it's not her, you can't ignore her. I've been in the Qing Palace for two days. Your Majesty doesn't know how to avoid it. My father is still lying in the Qing Palace. He's talking to my concubine. I’m on it, and I’m not afraid of others’ criticism…”
The princess was shocked and angry: "Shut up! Mom, I only think you are protecting your daughter, but you should stop saying such things in the future. You don't have to implicate your daughter and your family. How can you say such words at will? …”
After the second lady finished speaking, she also realized that something was wrong, and seeing her daughter so angry again, she was also a little embarrassing.
"I didn't mean to..."
At this time, Fu Xia was talking outside, saying that he had something to report.
…
The concubine called to come in, Fu Xia said: "Master, Su Liangdi is back."
Just as he was talking, Fu Chun walked in quickly from the outside, with obvious joy on his face.
"Master, the sealed edict has come down, and the eunuch who made the edict is outside the door."
