Chapter Fifteen Give a Chance
However, at this moment, Zhaorong Yi Xingen, who was placed high hopes by Du Langu's family, had no intention of interceding with the noble concubine at all, but was telling the left and right: "If my brother has something to say, just agree, and say that the noble concubine is still there now." Out of anger, I will dare to say it after a few days. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."
Yindeng, the court lady who has been with her for many years, whispered: "Madam, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to talk about this matter, or should I talk to Jing Jieyu in private?"
In the past two years, although Jing Jieyu and Jiang Mingdan have not been promoted to the throne, nor have they had children, but under the support of the noble concubine, they have a sense of presence in the palace.
Moreover, she served Yun Fenghuang with a lot of heart, her hospitality was not inferior to that of Yi Xing'en back then.
So Yun Fenghuang still appreciates this Jieyu quite a lot.
Even Tian Jieyu and Xie Runan, who are blood relatives, have the meaning of being compared.
Yindeng felt that with regard to the noble concubine's intentions in raising King Qin and Zhaoqing, and the fact that the Seventh Emperor had slipped her tongue and revealed the truth, she should be thankful that Yi Xingen's mother and daughter were able to escape unscathed. ...What if I offend the imperial concubine again?
Although she knew that Du Langu was Yi Xingen's biological brother, she was serving Yi Xingen after all, and she didn't want Yi Xingen to have any trouble because of Du Langu.
"Don't worry." Fortunately, Yi Xingen is not stupid, and said calmly after hearing the words, "It's just a perfunctory one or two, not to mention that this time the noble concubine didn't pursue the mother and daughter of this palace, it is already a blessing, this palace How could you hurry up and go again to make the empress unhappy? Just say that the imperial concubine is magnanimous and doesn't care, and I don't bother to worry about it!"
She sneered slightly, "Have you forgotten what happened five years ago? How humbled I was back then, just to let him recognize me, even in private! What happened? At the birthday banquet of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, The loving mother, the empress dowager, and the empress both believed that this palace had an affair with him, and what he thought was that this palace was helping the noble concubine to plot against him! In his heart, did this so-called younger sister, this palace, ever have any weight? It was the past two years. Don’t you know when you come and go? In the final analysis, it’s because of the noble concubine, and I’m worried that the noble concubine will get angry and affect his official career!”
"At the beginning, he regarded me as worthless, but now he came to beg me for his wife and daughter?"
"But what should I do to help him?"
Not only did she not want to help, Yi Xingen also said, "Anyway, the noble concubine is kind, even though she expelled Qian's mother and daughter to the Taoist temple, she also gave him four beautiful palace servants, so Qian's mother and daughter died in the Taoist temple. So what? If you want a daughter, let those palace maids give birth to him. It’s just that the palace maids who go out in front of the imperial concubine, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to bear!”
If those maidservants give birth to male heirs, let Du Langu's sons be mediocre and useless.
otherwise……
hehe.
It's just that it wasn't long after Yi Xingen took pleasure in other's misfortunes that she was summoned by the imperial concubine.
She suddenly became nervous again, thinking that Yun Fenghuang was still angry after thinking about it, and wanted to vent her anger on herself.
Arriving at the Huanhua Palace, the noble concubine's expression was calm, and she didn't intend to get angry, but Yi Xingen still greeted Ann carefully, and said softly: "The empress summoned my concubine to come, but what are your orders?"
Yun Fenghuang nodded, and said in a slow voice: "Your sister-in-law and nieces seem to have packed their luggage and are going to go to Shanyuan to watch overnight, which is quite interesting. But in their hearts, they must... be unwilling?"
"How could they?" Yi Xingen said hastily, "For the fault of my concubine's niece, a hundred deaths can't atone for it! Your empress is merciful, and she only teaches them to practice in a Taoist temple. She is really magnanimous and unparalleled! Their mother and daughter, It's too late to be grateful to the empress! Furthermore, the empress's move is actually for the benefit of their mother and daughter. After all, the Qian family has no way to teach their daughters, and concubines are all nieces. , there will be disaster, and..."
"Okay." Yun Fenghuang interrupted her with a smile that was not a smile, and said in a harmonious voice, "Who did you learn to be so glib? The Qian mother and daughter are still hugging each other and crying in the mansion. Is this also called gratitude?"
Yi Xingen heard that the tone didn't sound like she was looking for trouble, so she relaxed a little, and smiled apologetically: "Ms. Qian's qualifications are dull, and she doesn't understand the painstaking efforts of the empress. When she goes to the Taoist temple to practice, she will always know the empress's kindness. "
Later, she will send someone to deliver a message to Qian's mother and daughter to let them know something interesting!
Do you really think that the imperial concubine can only be domineering in the harem if she is rampant in the six palaces?
Don't even think about it, let's talk about officials like Du Langu who came from a humble background and are still climbing up the ladder, Ouyang, Yin, Meng, Luo... Which one has not been an extremely high-ranking official, and now the main purpose is to A famous family who kept their family status? It's them, when did they get cheap in the hands of the imperial concubine!
"Don't be careless with me." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "The Qian family is not from a wealthy family. Originally, relying on the identity of the first wife and the many heirs under her knees, her position is considered stable. But now she is sent by me to take her with her. The daughters went to the Taoist temple, and the date of return has not yet been determined, but the talented and beautiful palace maid came home in a blink of an eye... She is not afraid of the poor life of the Taoist temple, so how can she not worry about the future disputes?"
Yi Xingen was thinking about the imperial concubine's intentions, but didn't dare to say anything.
I heard Yun Fenghuang continue: "At first, she was so open-minded that I separated from the child I worked so hard to raise. According to my temperament, I can't let her go. But, After all, I am also a mother, so I understand how difficult it is for her to get to where she is today."
These are all occasional words, Yi Xingen didn't take it to heart, but said cautiously: "Your Majesty is benevolent, it's the mother and daughter of the Qian family who are assholes."
"So I plan to give them a chance." Yun Fenghuang smiled, ignored the flattery of the scene, and said bluntly, "Shanyuan Temple, with the Empress Yuan, the late commoner Ji Sheng, and the Empress Dowager , The origin is very deep. As for the origin, I don't know very well. If they can find out enough information for me during their practice... I can not only let them go back to the house immediately, but even give them a maid , can also be taken away.”
Yi Xingen was shocked when he heard this.
Before Yun Fenghuang ordered Qian's mother and daughter to go to Shanyuan Temple to practice, she thought the same as everyone inside and outside, thinking that this was the imperial concubine's revenge.
The servant girl who was rewarded under the guise of Chunjia's name seemed to confirm this point.
Everyone felt that this was the culprit that the imperial concubine hated the mother and daughter of the Qian family so much, but it was inconvenient to kill the imperial court official, the wife and daughter of the court imperial official Jane in the heart of the emperor, for such a small matter.
So simply use this method to make Qian's mother and daughter suffer alive in the future.
Only now, after listening to the imperial concubine's order, did Yi Xingen realize that perhaps for the fact that King Qin and Zhaoqing knew about their backgrounds... Yun Fenghuang was not as angry as the outside world thought.
At least she still has the time to take advantage of this situation and arrange for Qian's mother and daughter to go undercover in the Taoist temple!
"My lady, I will definitely bring it with me!" Yi Xingen settled down, and said in a low voice with a more respectful attitude than before, "Dare to ask my lady, may I let my brother know about this matter? My brother is always capable. he……"
"Of course you can't let Du Langu know!" Yun Fenghuang looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Who is Du Langu, you don't know? Comparing with His Majesty? Besides, can’t His Majesty tell Qian’s mother and daughter to go back from Shanyuan Temple? Can’t His Majesty take away the maid who was given away?! Remember, this mission is only for Qian’s mother and daughter If they still want to return to normal, they should honestly listen to what I said, and no one is allowed to reveal it! Including Du Langu! If they can't do it, let's try it out. Get them out of Shanyuan Temple!"
"Even if it is done, the Du Mansion will definitely not be the Du Mansion it is today."
"As far as Qian's mother and daughter are so capable, if I pull out any of the slaves that I have rewarded, even if Du Langu is partial to the side, how many tricks can I survive?"
She sneered slightly, "You told Mrs. Qian exactly what I meant... If she couldn't do it, this kind of waste wouldn't be qualified to continue to be the mistress of Jane's future minister in the heart of the emperor!"
Yi Xingen's heart was fluctuating, and she said in a low voice: "Yes, empress, please don't worry, my concubine will definitely make Qian Shi no longer be confused!"
In fact, Qian is not qualified to be "confused" at all.
Unless she firmly believes that Du Langu loves her to death, even if the husband and wife are separated for a long time, the palace will give you a beautiful maid who is good at serving others, and she will not be moved at all... But it is impossible for Qian to have such confidence.
She and Du Langu were married according to a very orthodox matchmaker's words. Before getting married, the two parties never met each other.
Du Langu was brought up by his heir parents. When he was old, he had a slight reputation in the imperial examination. When he was still in the countryside, his heir parents thought that he should marry a wife, so they asked him for his character, and his heir mother chose to be born in the local area. The daughter of the Qian family who looks very good and is completely worthless in the temple.
Qian's family can be regarded as virtuous and virtuous, but only virtuous and virtuous.
In fact, she can't help Du Langu with anything in her official career, and even after entering the court, Du Langu has to help her check many contacts in the back house.
If she had met a husband with no conscience, she would have been left out in the cold.
Fortunately, she is lucky, Du Langu is not the kind of good husband who is 24 filial piety, but a very upright scholar-official mentality.
Like Yi Guogong, he believes that a wife is equal and should be respected.
The legitimate son and the legitimate daughter should also be well raised and cultivated.
Concubine Ji naturally obeys the mistress.
As a husband, it is his duty to protect his wife and children.
At the same time, a poor wife will not go to court, and he will not abandon his wife and children in times of crisis... Doesn't it sound good?
Qian Shi also thought so when she was young, but after these years, she gradually understood: these are Du Langu's requirements for herself, not such feelings for her.
Let's put it this way, if Du Langu had married not the Qian family, but the Zhang family, the Li family, the Zhou family, and the Zhao family...anyone who lived with him honestly, he would have treated her like this.
Therefore, in her husband's mind, Qian Shi is neither special nor special. What is special is her status. As long as Du Langu insists on his own integrity, he will stand by her side; what is not special is that he only protects her. Therefore, Qian's seemingly stable position is actually vulnerable to a single blow if a weakness is found.
In front of the concubine, who has been fighting in the six palaces for many years, it is easy to deal with her.
Du Langu dared not to buy the imperial concubine's account, not because he was upright, but because he was from Chunjia.
The problem is, he is Chunjia's confidant, but Qian's is not!
Qian's biggest backer is Du Langu, facing the danger of losing Du Langu, she either doesn't care about her mother's future at all, or else she has no choice but to compromise with the imperial concubine.
Yi Xingen resigned with complicated emotions, and passed the news to Qian Shi, and the result was exactly as she thought, Qian Shi basically agreed without much consideration, but also made a request: "Your Majesty, Qian Shi said, she I hope that the four palace servants that the empress bestows upon my elder brother will all take the child-killing medicine first!"
"What kind of thing is she, and is she worthy of negotiating conditions with the empress?" Before Yun Fenghuang could speak, Dan E, who was standing by the side, sneered and said, "It is her blessing that the empress is willing to use her! If she is not willing , Do you really think that the empress has no one else to order?!"
Yi Xingen had expected such a result a long time ago, but she is a messenger now and dare not be self-confident. Hearing the words, she apologized and said with a smile: "I also think that she is whimsical, but since she said so, my wife Don’t dare not tell the empress.”
Only then did Yun Fenghuang speak slowly: "Let her do things first. Otherwise, I can not only give Du Langu a palace maid, but also recommend some excellent teachers to his heirs... If Mrs. Qian still doesn't give up, then As Dan E said, I don't have to use her."
If such a thing dares to bargain with her, don't those concubines who died tragically in the palace want to come back to life?
Or because she hasn't made a move all these years, everyone thinks she is really a good stubble?
Yi Xingen took the order and passed the words to Qian Shi, fearing that the sister-in-law would be stupid and couldn't understand what the imperial concubine meant, so she had to ask the envoy to explain carefully: "The imperial concubine can recommend a Xixi to your son-in-law. Of course, it can also influence the future and even the life of your son... You should do it yourself!"
At this moment, Qian Shi finally realized the horror and cruelty of Concubine Min in the rumors, and couldn't help recovering for a long time.
Her reaction was sent back to Yi Xingen, Yi Xingen smiled contemptuously: "This idiot, how many years have I been serving the concubine? If you dare not make the slightest mistake, she is good. I really think I am some kind of bastard, how dare you?" Tell the imperial concubine this and that!"
"Your Majesty, this Qian is so stupid, can he do what the imperial concubine and empress do well?" The silver lamp next to him couldn't help worrying, "At that time, if she tries hard but gets nothing because of her stupidity, if the imperial concubine is furious, Will you be angry with your mother?"
"At the beginning, it was the imperial concubine who ordered me to contact my elder brother. Do you think she doesn't know about Qian's temperament?" Yi Xingen sighed slightly while listening, but said, "Since it is arranged in this way, naturally there is a noble concubine." Besides, this matter involves the future of Qian's mother and son, so she can't help but be careful, and maybe the sincerity will lead to gold and stone?"
This is just for Yin Deng to hear.
In fact, Yi Xingen was thinking in her heart that the elder brother Du Langu was found by the noble concubine at the beginning. With the imperial concubine's scheming and Du Langu's status in front of the emperor, she ordered her concubine to go out in person to win him over. Could it be wrong? Du Mansion has arrangements?
If I guessed correctly, the Qian mother and daughter were just a cover.
What kind of serious use can that kind of thing that accomplishes more than ruin it... It is estimated that the people in front of the mother and daughter have long been infiltrated by the imperial concubine.
This is the person who really works for the imperial concubine.
Qian's mother and daughter are nothing more than ready-made shields.
Even Du Langu was within the concubine's calculations.
Thinking of this, Yi Xingen was startled suddenly, but she realized something: "If the imperial concubine had been in Du's mansion early in the morning, then...my son learned about Zhao Qing's life experience from his niece, was it really a coincidence?"
