Chapter 109: See Concubine An again
…… After sending away the three princes, the queen was in a complicated mood, and said with the left and right: "Your Majesty does not want Bing'er to stay in the imperial capital, but allows Xiaoliu to stay...... If you think about it, it makes sense. ”
After all, it's no secret that Chunjia doesn't want to see the twin princes, as early as when these two children were still in infancy, some people talked about it in private, saying that Chunjia was waiting for them to grow up to fifteen years old, and after finishing sealing a remote vassal king, he was sent out to fend for himself, and out of sight was pure.
Now, even with the recommendation of the concubine, Chunjia still abandoned the choice of the third prince at the last moment, and chose the sixth prince who was inconspicuous and always forgotten.
This made the queen, who watched Gong Xiangbing grow up and cared a lot about him, felt an unspeakable resentment.
She beat her spirits and analyzed with the left and right, "Although Xiaoliu has not been eye-catching since he was a child, it is precisely because of this child's honest and wooden nature that people are reassuring that he will stay in the imperial capital with Princess Wei Su after marriage, so His Majesty has nothing to worry about." Moreover, Xiaoliu was raised by Concubine An in the past, and even the Empress Dowager was raised for a few days. Over the years, although Xiaoliu said that he was raised in front of the palace, and during the New Year's holidays, the Empress Dowager and Concubine An would also call him over to ask a few words, which shows that he still cares. ”
"Your Majesty is pure filial piety, you must leave the prince outside the crown prince, naturally it is Xiaoliu's first choice."
"Niangniang, no matter what, the six princes have grown up with you in the past two years, and it has nothing to do with Xuanqing Palace." The attendant said softly, "Moreover, the sixth prince is quiet and kind, although he was not raised by you since childhood, he has always been respectful and filial to you......
"Bengu knows what you mean, are you saying that this matter is not necessarily a bad thing for Bengong?" Gu Zhen sighed lightly, "Why doesn't this palace understand this truth?" It's just that, if it is the same as before, wouldn't it be good if this Princess Wei Su was promised to Bing'er? ”
After all, Gong Xiangbing is her favorite child.
If she could only keep one child by her side, she would rather stay with Gongxiangbing than the six princes, who were separated from her feelings.
"After His Royal Highness the Third Prince arrived in the vassal kingdom, he still didn't be filial to you?" The attendant persuaded, "With the respect of our Highness to you, greetings for the New Year's holidays must be indispensable." Moreover, if the sixth prince marries Princess Wei Su, he will be able to say two words in front of His Majesty. At that time, if Niangniang misses His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and gives an order, can His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince still be transferred to His Majesty? ”
The queen was not sure that she would be summoned back for a reunion after the three princes became vassals, and the same was true for the six princes.
But after the sixth prince married Princess Wei Su, maybe he would have this dignity?
Chunjia doesn't give face to her own son, but also gives some grace to a foreign princess, right?
After talking like this for a while, he finally appeased the queen.
The next day, the matter was finalized in the way of the marriage decree, and most of the people in the harem were surprised.
One is that Wei Su's plan to marry the princess was said in private, and he didn't mention it clearly, his status was not high enough, he was not trusted by the emperor enough, and he didn't even know about it in advance.
The other is a candidate to marry a princess, and the six princes are too nonexistent......
If it hadn't been for the decree, no one would have remembered him.
Because he was going to marry a princess, the emperor originally planned to canonize the sons who had not yet been crowned kings once at the end of the year, based on the performance of several sons, but at this time, he gave the six princes the title of King Shu separately in advance.
Although everyone knows very well in their hearts, this means that among the heirs of Chunjia's knees, another prince has been clearly drawn out of the battle for the throne.
The last one was the stupid King of Chu.
But on the scene, it still has to be given to the six princes, no, it is to congratulate King Shu.
Even the people in front of Concubine An said hello to Concubine An: "His Royal Highness King Shu has always respected you, and now you have to be crowned a prince, and you are about to marry Princess Wei Su, I think you can stay in the imperial capital for a long time in the future, and always honor you." ”
"He is now the prince in front of the queen, what is it that he always comes to see the palace?" Concubine An said lightly, having said that, her expression was somewhat touched.
After all, she has been staying in the palace for many years, and Chunjia has given brocade clothes and jade food without the slightest attention, and the care and admiration of the six princes made Yuan Neem Niang feel that she still has a feeling of living in the world.
It's just that I was happy for King Shu once, and I heard a whisper, which made Concubine An very angry: "Niangniang, they all said that Emperor Shizong also had a His Royal Highness King Shu under his knees, but he was ambushed by Shenzong after he ascended the throne, and His Majesty gave the sixth prince the title of King Shu, which is really ...... It's ......."
Concubine An actually knew very well in her heart that Chunjia did not mean to curse her son.
It's just that he didn't care so much about the six princes, and he chose a king name that he thought was pleasing to the eye.
I'm afraid that Chunjia won't remember that Sejong had a King Shu under his knees, and he hasn't ended well.
But she used to be the most aggrieved, and of course she refused to give up at this time, so she immediately sent someone to make trouble in front of the emperor, asking the emperor to give an explanation, or change the title.
"How many years has this Concubine An, why don't you still have a long memory?" Concubine De shook her head when she heard the news, "It was a good thing, but she had to find something unpleasant for Your Majesty." Moreover, even if the six princes are close to her, but in the end it is the queen who is raising her, and she makes such a fuss, it seems that the queen is both an adoptive mother and a mother-in-law, and she is not yet the heart of her former adoptive mother, doesn't it also embarrass the six princes? ”
The attendant chuckled and said, "Otherwise, how would you be at this point?" ”
"Yes." Concubine De sighed, "The life of the sixth prince is really not an ordinary suffering. ”
Concubine An didn't move for a long time, and suddenly there was a commotion at this time, and the six palaces were all talking for a while.
Chen Jing also told Yun Fenghuan, and said: "After many years, Concubine An is still ignorant. ”
"She used to be ignorant or true, but not now." Yun Fenghuan's expression was faint, but he said, "Over the years, not only the six princes have been forgotten, but who remembers Concubine An?" The reason why she was rejected by His Majesty earlier was because she was always unreasonable. Now that I've finally caught a similar reason, can I not seize the opportunity? It's not that simple. ”
Sure enough, after Concubine An sent someone to Xingxin Hall to tell her about this, Chunjia didn't move at first, but it didn't take long for Concubine An to go to Woxia Tower to cry in person.
The meaning of the words is that she doesn't really blame the emperor and queen or anyone, she just wants to find out the person who chews the root of her tongue behind her back, so that the six princes will not be bullied.
The queen really had a headache when she saw her, after all, this was the green plum of the emperor who didn't kill the concubine and gave it to the emperor who was eating and drinking.
It's been so many years, and the emperor may have no feelings for Yuan Neem Niang at all, but it's just for the sake of the face of the Empress Dowager that he is honored.
The problem is that the Queen Mother is not dead yet.
That's it, the queen is not easy to do with Concubine An.
I didn't want to always rely on her, so I prevaricated a few sentences, and said: "This palace has been lacking for the past two days, and everything is the concubine's decision, and you also know that the concubine has always been shrewd, or you still went to find the concubine." ”
However, Concubine An didn't even want to look for the emperor, let alone the concubine, so she refused to leave in Woxia Tower, insisting that the queen give an explanation, and finally even cried and asked the queen: "Did the concubine say that this matter caused you trouble?" But the concubine body has no other meaning, and she is also distressed about Xiaoliu! It was a concubine back then, and Xiaoliu suffered a lot. However, the concubine now knows that she is wrong, and now she has such a thought as Xiaoliu...... Is it true that the queen can't tolerate one or two concubines? ”
It is still rare for her to say such soft words in her life, so that an old man like the queen feels a little sad when she listens to it.
More than ten years ago, when they just entered the palace, who would have thought that Yuan Neem would one day be soft?
The queen was melancholy for a while, and finally asked someone to quietly go to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion to report the news.
Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Chen Jing: "Aren't you here?" ”
"Niangniang, didn't Concubine An see that King Shu has a future, and plan to go back to His Royal Highness King Shu?" Chen Jing couldn't help but ask, "How can the queen mother?" ”
Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "Want to go back?" Concubine An was dizzy, Your Majesty would not be confused. If King Shu hadn't been condemned to marry Princess Wei Su, how could it be possible now that he had been condemned? Princess Wei Su's quasi-husband, who was beaten back from the queen's name to the concubine's name before he was crowned king, is still a concubine who is not favored, what do you think of Wei Su's name? I didn't deliberately fool them for the sake of the country, and deliberately slapped Wei Su in the face! ”
Now is the time for the government and the opposition to make a gesture of goodwill to Wei Su.
Chen Jing listened and couldn't help laughing: "In this way, is Concubine An going to make a fuss again?" It's just that how many years have passed, and she is not afraid of completely destroying His Majesty's affection? ”
"The Empress Dowager is still here, and Your Majesty has no worries now, but she is more generous." Yun Fenghuang groaned and said, "Besides, now it's just that the queen has sent someone over, wait a while, and tell the queen's people that there are some things here in the palace, and you can go slowly." ”
So Chen Jing went out to send the palace people from Woxia Tower, returned to the house, and continued to serve Yun Fenghuang to drink tea.
Not long after, sure enough, another palace person came, and the corner gate that sneakily walked was taken to the concubine before and after, and he didn't bother with it, knelt down directly, took out a stack of silver ticket title deeds, and said: "My mother said that as long as the concubine Niangniang helped Concubine An get her wish this time, it is only half here." ”
"Now the imperial heirs in the palace have heirs, how can they be brought out by Concubine An?" Yun Fenghuang just shook his head.
The people in the palace were not discouraged, and only said: "The Cao family in the Jingjieyu Palace is there." ”
She emphasized, "It is said that the pulse is a princess. ”
"The prince and the princess, it's all at this time, does the palace still care?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "It's just that these things should be taken back, there is no shortage of such a little in this palace now." But I want to ask your mother to help, there is another matter. ”
The palace people were a little nervous: "Please show the concubine." ”
"I heard that Yuan Shu has a daughter under his knees, and she is quite cute with Yuxue." The concubine said lightly, "I am deeply favored by your mother, and I have been raising it in Fuyang Mansion for the past two years?" This palace thinks that this child has a lot of fate with the third prince, and you have to arrange it well. ”
The palace people were taken aback, and said cautiously: "This matter ......"
"You can't be the master again, so go back and tell your master." Yun Fenghuan put away his smile and looked indifferent, "Whether Concubine An can raise another child is irrelevant to this palace. However, it will be difficult to miss this opportunity. ”
…… When the palace people left in a hurry, Chen Jing was surprised: "That's ...... The Mother of the Queen Mother? ”
"Otherwise, with Concubine An's character, who else is willing to help her now?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Of course, it's not just for Concubine An, it's also for the Yuan family, or rather, for Yuan Shu." ”
