Chapter Eighteen Yun Feng Huang: This Feng Shui Is Sick!
"With the family status of Uncle Zhaowu's mansion, especially since their family only had a queen, it is of course impossible for her young daughter, even a young daughter born of a concubine, to be a sequel to Lu'er." Chen's natal sister-in-law said calmly, "However, if it is for Lu'er to be a wife, it may not be impossible! After all, Qi's lintel is not as good as Gu's, but our family lives in the north, so Uncle Yu Zhaowu is somewhat useful? Besides, Uncle Zhaowu always valued Lu'er, in my opinion, that is, we didn't think carefully before and married him in a hurry. Otherwise, if we don't think about it, Uncle Zhaowu would want to recruit a son-in-law himself."
"After all, you said that our Lu'er's talent and appearance, even if placed in the Imperial Capital, are probably outstanding!"
She lowered her voice, "Otherwise, what is the Imperial Capital doing to make things difficult for Concubine Min Guifei and Concubine Lu'er's marriage contract over and over again? You want Lu'er to make them think that's nothing more than that. There was nothing in the time, didn't it just pass? This matter has been brought up more than once, and it is obvious that the whole emperor thinks that Lu'er has the capital to call Concubine Min Gui's heart. Concubine Min Gui is not from a high family background, but she is His Majesty Your Majesty's favorite concubine! What kind of beauty has your Majesty never seen before? She is still the noble concubine Sheng Chongmin, so why is Lu'er so far behind?"
Rounding things up, Qi Jiulu is also a first-class wishful man in the world!
Otherwise, why should you be a rival in love with the emperor?
Chen's complexion changed, and she also understood what her sister-in-law meant when she said this. Qi Jiulu and Chao Jingyou were married seriously, and they both had daughters. What about the wife? He could only deny Chao Jingyou's identity as a wife.
However, according to the laws and regulations of the state and the folk etiquette, it is not so easy to discard a married wife.
If it is just a divorce, in the end it is still occupying the position of first wife, and the latecomer is still the successor.
Unless the marriage is cheated or the elders of both parties are lost in the hands of the other party, according to the principles of human relations, the government will come forward and make a judgment of righteousness.
But righteousness is definitely a feud, and it is a feud between two families...
Chen hesitated, thinking that this matter was too big, she dared not take this idea.
But her sister-in-law said again: "I remember that Luo's son-in-law is not yet married? He is a son of a family, and there is absolutely no way he can't find a well-matched noble daughter to match him. At this age, he is still procrastinating. I don't know if it's not for marriage. Gu's daughter, so that Uncle Zhaowu's heart will favor him a bit? If he really succeeds like this, how can Lu'er's future not be affected by then?"
"Anyway, the Chao family only gave birth to a daughter, and the Qi family's descendants are now withered. Although a daughter-in-law is good, why does it matter if there is a son-in-law?"
"Especially if you leave your own son here, are you afraid that there will be no grandchildren born in the future?"
"Lu'er is young, and there are many unexpected things. As elders, how can we not plan for him?"
"In terms of appearance and talent, how is he worse than the Luo family's son? The only disadvantage is his background."
"But this background, as long as you can marry the Gu family's daughter, in the eyes of Uncle Zhaowu, it can be wiped out. If you miss such a good opportunity, you will be so upset that you will die later!"
Muscles on Chen's face twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law said that as long as Chao's mother and daughter are gone, Lu'er will definitely be able to marry Gu's concubine-daughter."
"It's not guaranteed to marry, but how do you know if you don't try?" Her sister-in-law asked calmly, "Actually, based on Lu'er's current future, do you think those high-ranking families in the imperial capital don't want to marry their daughters to him? The aristocratic family Although the prostitute daughter is precious, but to put it bluntly, no matter how noble the lintel is, there are many heirs, and there is always the difference between being favored and not being favored. Lu'er is young and promising, and the future is promising. They have nothing to do with each other An important daughter may be able to make a lot of money, why not do this? Especially the descendants of Uncle Zhaowu are not particularly outstanding, otherwise why bother to cultivate other people's children?"
"But if someone else's son-in-law can be his son-in-law, wouldn't that be better?"
"Between Luo's son and Lu'er, Uncle Zhaowu clearly prefers Lu'er, but he has not made a clear statement so far. Maybe he wants to see if Lu'er intends to be his son-in-law?"
"It's just that it's not easy to let go of someone's identity. What do you do with your figure?"
"Taking a step back, it's not that Lu'er won't be able to marry a wife after Chao's departure. He still doesn't like Chao's, so that his son is nowhere in sight. You can find a way to replace Chao's, it's better to just look at them like this Do you want to be a strong resentment?"
"..." Mrs. Chen frowned, and after a while, she sighed, "What you said is true. But this matter... I'm afraid it will ruin Lu'er's reputation."
Her sister-in-law smiled subtly: "Isn't it just a little more concealed? Which yamen doesn't have Qushigui?"
...The conversation between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law spread to Jiang's ears. She was very satisfied and told the left and right: "Keep an eye on them. If they really can't think of a way, please help."
Left and right were a little worried: "Ma'am, if Qi's son really became Uncle Zhaowu's son-in-law because of this, and made his way to the top, then...?"
"What's wrong with that?" Mrs. Jiang raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Although I have many descendants of the Xie family, firstly, none of them are valued by Uncle Zhaowu like Qi's sons; secondly, Your Majesty has already taken good care of the Xie's children. , with Ji's mistakes, presumably the government and the public will not allow foreign relatives to get involved in military power! In this case, if Dingbei Army can be handed over to Qi's son, it will be better than others?"
After all, Qi Jiulu, the former son-in-law-to-be, was not only watched by her growing up, but she also spent a lot of energy paying attention to it.
How to deal with her is too clear.
Even if he holds a high position in the future, the Jiang family still has ways to win over him and let him continue to be used by his mother and daughter.
Hmm... The premise is that my worry-free biological daughter doesn't continue to make trouble.
The left and right reminded Jiang not to be too careless: "As the saying goes, people's hearts are changeable, and after all, Chen is the biological mother of Qi's son."
"That's why Mrs. Chen was asked to do such a disgraceful thing." Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly, "If the two of them have other thoughts in the future, this is a ready-made excuse!"
She narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "Otherwise, there is only one Chao Shi, my son Fenghuang has summoned her twice in the palace and has not killed her, obviously he doesn't bother to deal with her, is it worth my dirty hands? "
After all, the daughter had a relationship with Qi Jiulu's childhood sweetheart, and her heart softened.
Since after entering the palace, she still flirted with her ex-fiancé, and after they broke up, she didn't know how to cut grass, kill roots, kill people and silence her, how could this work?
How old is Qi Jiulu, and now he still thinks about Yun Fenghuang in his heart, so he won't do anything against him.
It's hard to say after that.
What if he changed his mind? What if he was coerced? What if he hates because of love?
In short, such a person is a big hidden danger in Jiang's view.
If it's the kind that doesn't matter, she will get rid of it for her daughter early in the morning.
But Qi Jiulu was born into the Dingbei Army, not to mention, he was very much loved by Uncle Zhaowu.
This is not only very difficult for the Jiang family to attack him, but also has endless troubles. The key point is that it would be a pity if such a promising young talent fell under the conspiracy.
Jiang decided it was better to help him.
Of course, in order to prevent Qi Jiulu from repaying virtue with grievances in the future, the handle must be handled properly.
Isn't this her own son? Does he still expect her to do good deeds without asking for anything in return?
"Let me keep this matter a secret, and you must not let it out, and the people in front of Feng Huang are not allowed to mention a word!" Jiang Shi deliberated on his own arrangements, and then told his left and right, "If Qi's son in the future When Feng Huang found out about changing his wife, he said that the Chen family was greedy for wealth and status, and intended to cling to him, so he persuaded the Chen family to do it."
In the end, he sighed, "The Xie family has a shallow background, and there is nothing that can help Fenghuang. As a mother, I can only do my best and obey the destiny."
Yun Fenghuang, who was far away in the Qishan Palace, didn't know what his mother was worrying about behind his back.
She is now worrying about other people's children: "The Princess Kunze was raised by the Empress Dowager, so she should agree with the Empress Dowager, but how could she get involved with the children of the Yuan family? Even if they are counted as cousins Brothers and sisters, but I remember that Princess Kunze seldom met with them. It is not even as good as the three eldest princesses, who have met Yuan's children more times... Was the princess deceived, or Being bullied? Why are you so confused?!"
"Your Majesty, we are in the palace now, so we don't really know what happened in the palace city these days." Chen Jing begged for orders, "Why don't you find an excuse to go back and inquire about it?"
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "No way! Your Majesty just greeted me, and you ran back, how can you not arouse suspicion? You must know that Bengong didn't know until now, what His Majesty said Those who are favored by Princess Kunze belong to the Yuan family's children."
She sighed, "Fortunately, Your Majesty is also in the palace now. The two empress dowagers are sick, so it's not easy to see things... The marriage of Princess Kunze must wait for Shengjia to return to the imperial capital before we can confirm it. We still have Time, let’s draw it slowly!”
After all, Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu made an exception to stay in the palace because she was ill and could not move. If she could still care about the lifelong affairs of Princess Kunze at this moment, then obviously she could also consider moving out of the palace and let the current Fuyang King take care of her.
And without these two elders making the decision, Princess Kunze couldn't make a marriage agreement with someone privately? Where does that royal face face?
So even if Chunjia had already made a decision in his heart, he had to wait until he returned to the palace to announce the matter, so as to show that Princess Kunze's marriage was decided by his parents and was upright.
But it's a slow drawing, and it's not too long before the end of the summer vacation, but it's not too late.
Yun Fenghuang went to visit Empress Gu who was still recovering from illness the next day, and revealed the matter: "...ordinarily, the empress is ill now, so it would be better not to bother you if she can, but I feel that this matter is still the same. You said it well. Princess Kunze doesn't know us very well, but she was raised by the Queen Mother. As a result, the Queen Mother couldn't decide her marriage. I don't think that Your Majesty shouldn't be so filial The loving mother empress dowager, the problem is that the holy mother empress dowager is not only your majesty's biological mother, but she is also of the same generation as the loving mother empress dowager. Even if the loving mother empress dowager does not give her the old man's face, you say that when the royal heirs grow up and talk about marriage, Can we have a share in talking?"
She said meaningfully, "Although Uncle Xingning's mansion has prosperous heirs and many daughters-in-law, there are not many outstanding ones. This cannot be solved by marrying a princess!"
Therefore, in order to plan for the future of Uncle Xingning’s Mansion, the Empress Dowager Yuan will be able to urge Princess Kunze to marry Yuan’s son today. , Consolidate status and power by marrying with the royal family.
"How old is the King of Qin? It will be how many years later." Gu Zhen's complexion improved a lot after these days, but the gloom between his brows still remained.
It's no wonder that the people in Woxialou did not dare to talk nonsense outside in the past two days, but with Yun Fenghuang's eyes and ears, they still found out that Gu Zhen had found many imperial doctors in private, and even showed the famous doctors outside to the King of Chu Well, all the doctors said that the king of Chu is still young, so he can't see it yet, so let her take care of him again.
Anyway, no one dared to say that King Chu was fine.
Although the doctors gave the nobles a serious diagnosis, so as not to be punished if they could not be cured later, such a result also made the queen pessimistic and disappointed. Burning incense and donating money in temples and Taoist temples that are said to be efficacious, is regarded as emergency medical treatment, but they are already ready to accept the ending of the king of Chu being confused from now on.
In Gu Zhen's opinion, this incident is not only a harm to the emperor's heir who treats her as her own, but also a contempt and mockery to her, the queen.
It is already very distressing for a mother who cannot protect her child, let alone a queen mother?
She said calmly at the moment, "The imperial concubine has been planning for a rainy day for too long, and I can't even keep up with it."
But Yun Fenghuang followed up and said: "Mother, how can this be for a rainy day? You think about this time, if we are all silent and let her suppress the Queen Mother, who will suppress us in the future? Is it justified and taken for granted? Even, without waiting until the royal heirs get married, that one will feel that as long as she convinces His Majesty about everything, we people have no room to speak at all."
Gu Zhen's face froze all of a sudden.
Because she suddenly thought, out of the six heirs in the palace, why is it that only King Chu had an accident?
Is it because King Chu is the only legitimate son?
There must be a reason for this.
But are there no other reasons?
For example, Gu Zhen's deterrent power is not enough because she is raising the queen of the king of Chu.
If it's Yun Fenghuang who should be thankful for not provoking others, the real murderer behind the scenes, no matter whether it's Queen Mother Yuan or not, even if he is ambitious, he might have to think twice.
"As the saying goes, good horses are ridden by others, and good people are bullied by others." Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Yun Fenghuang continued, "Sit back and watch the empress dowager intervene in the affairs of Princess Kunze and keep silent today, how can you know what will happen in the future?" Will similar things happen to me? I dare not hide it from my mother, I am very worried that I will become the next Queen Mother, the child who has worked so hard to raise, because of the plan of the loving mother Queen Mother, I will be forced to be Pulled to match the inexplicable person! But it's not the concubine who provokes dissension. Even if King Qin is the eldest son, he is just a concubine, and the emperor's heir under your knees is the son. You are really willing to let King Chu's future concubine be chosen by the loving mother. Empress Dowager selfishly decides?"
"..." Gu Zhen was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Before the Empress Dowager mentioned to me that she wanted my brother, Princess Shangming Huichang."
Yun Fenghuang was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "This is actually a good thing. Although His Royal Highness Princess Minghui is not in the same heart with His Majesty, she is the daughter of the former Emperor after all. Because of her status, Her Majesty will not treat her badly unless it is absolutely necessary. she."
Gu Zhen stared at her, scrutinized her expression carefully, and said after a long time: "At that time, the Empress Dowager also said the same thing, why don't you think I agree?"
"Because my concubine has grievances with His Royal Highness Princess Minghui? The empress is worried that if her natal brother adopts Her Royal Highness, she will have quarrels with my concubine? In fact, there is no need. Her Royal Highness Minghui is still young, so it is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction." When you are sensible. As a concubine, how can I argue with His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?" Minghui is not sensible, so you should teach me well after Shangzhu.
As long as the benefits are enough, I can be generous.
Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and said, "But why does the empress tell this concubine now?"
In her opinion, this is a further manifestation of Gu Zhen's trust in herself.
Well, the next step, is it possible to instigate some other enemies to the queen?
However, Gu Zhen said: "It is indeed because I am afraid of you, the noble concubine, that I don't want my brothers to have anything to do with His Royal Highness Princess Minghui. You see, I just mentioned it a little bit, and you immediately understand. You are so smart , Bengong knew early on that he was not your opponent. So even if what you said was very reasonable, after thinking about it, Bengong still felt that you should not be too led by the nose, otherwise I would not know why there is no such thing! "
Yun Fenghuang: "........."
Gu Zhen continued: "I will investigate the affairs of the king of Chu again, and there is no need for the noble concubine to remind me repeatedly. If you have nothing else to do, you can go first. You can make up your own mind when you have idle palace affairs, and you don't have to come all the time. Please ask me for instructions. I feel that most of the palace affairs are handled by you much better than what I handle."
Yun Fenghuang calmed down, and said: "Your Majesty really thinks that the marriage of Princess Kunze is just a private revenge by the concubine?"
"Even if not, since you are talking about this matter, you obviously have decided in your heart to stop it." Gu Zhen said very sincerely, "I believe in your ability very much, and I also believe that the reason why you want to attract me is nothing more than I just want to find a shield, it’s not that I can’t do it without Bengong. In this case, I can sit back and enjoy the success without doing anything, so why bother to work hard? You know, Bengong has always been bad these days, The imperial concubine should be sympathetic to this palace, how about it?"
...What kind of feng shui is in this palace?
Chunjia became more and more shameless, not to mention, even the queen who was originally straight-tempered was so brazen?
Yun Fenghuang took a sip of the tea, feeling a little unstable.
