Chapter 679 The Queen's Power, The Princess Rejects
The emperor and Qin Xiang are very dissatisfied with the return of Princess Chu's nine deaths in good condition, but their life and death may be intact, so they are not caught off guard. The emperor had a plan in advance. No matter whether Su can save the danger, he must also expel her from the clan.
The only concern of the emperor was that the Empress Dowager would try to protect the Su family and firmly encircled the Yu and the Su family. It was because he immediately planned that his cronies and servants secretly went to the intention to monitor Yu Yu. Shunyan explored the hiding place of Qi's party, threatening and seductively, causing Su's reputation to be unpreserving. He took the initiative first. At that time, the witness was in hand, the emperor The Empress Dowager can't force reason.
Not only did Xiao Li not make any achievements, but the Empress Dowager was also on guard. She issued a secret decree directly ordering Yu Yu to escort Qi to return to Beijing, and refused to be interrogation by others on the way.
This proves more and more that the Empress Dowager is "indebetical" and greedy for the power of supervision and wants the emperor to become a puppet. The emperor gritted his teeth.
However, he is not helpless. Just because of Chen Xiang's advice, he provoked the Empress Dowager and the Su family against him in advance. Qin Xiang also expressed his firm approval for the unprecedented time - as long as the Empress Dowager abandons the Su family and let the emperor decide, there is 90% of his seven daughters to become the imperial concubine of the king of Chu. As for the Duke of Wei, she is deeply afraid of the emperor. To the point where it is not tolerated by the Empress Dowager, it is only a matter of time before the Chen family wants to collude with Huang's mother and son, and the Qin family has the in-laws of the King of Chu, even the emperor must be afraid, and the power is just around the corner.
Qin Huaiyu's calculation is not pure. After all, it is not easy to suppress the Duke of Wei. He thinks that it is more difficult for the emperor to deal with the king of Chu. Moreover, with the Qin family and the king of Chu, it is more and more difficult for the emperor to achieve things. Although the emperor is a son-in-law, he is also a king and emperor. Qin Huaiyu also understands that the status of the Yue family alone is not enough. With power, we must have the strength to constrain the emperor's power. The Duke of Wei is determined not to be attracted by the Qin family. In addition, the emperor does not allow the Qin family to get close to the Su family. Only the king of Chu is the clan after all. Even if the emperor is afraid, he is still "close and different" with foreign ministers, will not be suppressed, and should also be grateful. Therefore, Only then will the Qin family be condoned to calculate the position of the imperial concubine of the King of Chu.
When those plans are implemented one by one, the empress dowager is not have to be afraid, and the Duke of Wei will be suppressed again. Even if Yu Yu is affectionate, he has to consider honor and humiliation. If he can form an alliance with the Qin family, he will not be shave his power by the emperor. Qin Huaiyu does not believe that Yu Yu will not know whether it is good or bad. At the beginning, he vowed not to marry a new wife, but he thought that the Duke of Wei There is still power, and he knows that the Empress Dowager has the power to supervise the government, so she thinks that it is not dangerous.
So Qin Xiang told his eldest daughter-in-law early. If there is a chance to contact her son, he must tell her to endure and not act recklessly. Although Su's return is sudden, it is not an accident. Everything is still planned.
In Qin Xiang's mind, the queen has to rely on the family for security, so she does not expect the queen to have any help. The queen's existence is just a bond of mutual trust between the Qin family and the emperor. This time is not long. It can only be seen before the emperor's king's power is unified. At that time, the queen alone It is not enough to maintain the relationship between monarchs and ministers - the eldest son of the emperor is not the queen. Sooner or later, he will end up with prematurely. The queen has no heirs. How can Qin expect her to protect herself? Only when the Qin family grows into a heavy clan that has constrains the imperial power can he be expected to keep the queen's throne.
So the queen who didn't get the family's knowledge is so impatient.
The safe return of the scenery did not make the queen worry, but made the queen overjoyed. Of course, it was not out of good intentions, but the queen remembered the domineering of the scenery and hated Su's "short life", and she could not vent her anger - Empress Qin initially thought about venting her anger on Yichen and humiliated her at the palace banquet, but she was so charming Chen was really dull and turned a blind eye to the queen's contempt. The other party did not have resentment and became the queen with resentment. However, after all, Yichen is the imperial concubine of the clan. At present, she is widowed and only keeps a pair of young children to live. The queen is so difficult that she is ridiculed by the wives privately. This word reached the Empress Dowager's ear. How can she bear it? He scolded the queen.
Princes Fu did not hinder the overall situation. Just like a living dead, the queen repeatedly made it difficult to distinguish and clearly laughed at people. Don't say that the women secretly despised it, and the empress dowager felt ashamed.
The queen was full of fire. Now it's all right. Yijing came to the door. How could she let go?
was simply ecstatic. The ancestors finally blessed them and did not let Su die so easily, and let her humiliate her again and then see her lose her name, and her family tree was removed from the name and abandoned to return home, which was a bloody shame.
Therefore, the queen sat on the head, chatting with the eldest sister who happened to be in the palace today, while making people prepare the brocade early, waiting for the beautiful scenery to crawl on the top.
The beautiful scenery was introduced into the side hall. At a glance, he saw the brocade, but he ignored it. He just bowed deeply and paused. Seeing that the queen was not politely "free", she stood up straight. However, she was not so arrogant enough to sit uninvited, but stood on one side and only looked up at another guest who was unconsciously. Smile a little.
The Qin's aunt, who only had a pleasant character, suddenly stiffened her spine. She did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her cousin and stood up and stepped forward for a blessing.
If it is said that the "disable" of the wonderful scenery has made the Empress Dantian burn, and the humility of her parents and sisters is even more like adding fuel to the fire. Mrs. Qin is the eldest granddaughter of Qin's eldest daughter, and she is a mother and compatriot with the queen and son, so she has been valued since childhood. She was personally taught by Mrs. Qin and did not arrange to take care of the lady who has nothing to do nothing. Unfortunately, Qin The eldest wife was defeated in the selection of the crown princess, and her age was not similar to other princes. At the beginning, Qin Huaiyu was suppressed by Jin Rong. She deliberately did not marry her eldest granddaughter into the clan of Quan Xun, so she had to marry an eunuch. Of course, her husband's family should not be underestimated, and she was the eldest daughter-in-law. Aunt Qin's father was also six books, but unexpectedly He was calculated by the Jin Party and dismissed. Later, Qin Xiang used his whole body to solve the problem and easily sought an official position for his granddaughter-in-law, until now he was just a household man.
Although Aunt Qin is the eldest of the family, she is far less domineering than the queen and knows the etiquette.
The queen did not care about the embarrassing situation of her eldest sister. She rushed out of the tip of her nose with a long sneer, and her eyes were sharp: "Princessu, you have been captive for more than a year. Have you forgotten the etiquette?"
Yijing looked inexplicably: "What does the Empress mean? Today is not a court meeting, and concubines should take it for granted with family etiquette.
As a princess, if it hadn't been for the royal family, she would have only seen it with family salutes. Although the queen is a mother of the world, she is still a younger brother-in-law. In terms of the clan, she is still a younger sister-in-law. Of course, "there is a difference between king and ministers". Yijing can't receive the queen's blessing, but she has bowed her knees as a blessing, and she is not a courtesy, and she is not a knocking to the elders. Why Need to kneel?
Of course, if the queen asks for guilt, even the cousin princess must kneel down, but the queen can't help it.
The queen may not know the royal etiquette, but she didn't expect that her hint was so obvious, and Su, who saw the disaster, still refused to give in.
If there is no brocade set up on the ground, beautiful scenery will probably feel a little embarrassed on the ground. However, at present, she has no grievances and only smiles at the queen. For more than a year, the original Princess Qing has been a mother of the world, but she still hasn't made any progress. Obviously, she can get the upper hand, but she folds by herself. Full of anger, the princess "carefully" speculated that the Empress would not lift the table and splash, right?
"Su Fei is as fanged as before, and her temperament is still the same as before." The queen sneered again: "I heard that the rest of the evils are extremely vicious people. Concubine Su fell into the hands of the thief and must have suffered a lot."
This sentence is obviously laying the ground for questioning.
Yi Jing's smile did not change: "If I fall into the hands of the remnants, I will have no reason to survive. Fortunately, I will be rescued by the Qi family in time."
There was only this coping explanation, and the princess didn't even have the leisure to repeat that set of words.
"Saved? As far as I know, Qi took advantage of the princess's crime of threatening the court. How could the crime become a benefactor according to the princess?
"The reason for this is that the Empress Dowager has been questioned clearly and concluded earlier." The scenery is still unclear, but there is a layer of meaning that the Queen has no right to ask about this matter.
Although the queen was narrow and domineering, she was not so stupid that she couldn't understand what she meant. She raised her eyebrows and had two angry eyes: "What? Can't I ask you about this?"
"If the Empress wants to ask, of course my concubine knows all about it." Having said that, the scenery did not take the initiative to explain.
The atmosphere in the side hall was tense for a moment. The queen was angry, and the princess was silent, but Mrs. Qin, who was standing aside, couldn't help sweating and wet her clothes. She was not only worried that the queen would be angry and make an absurd trip that she couldn't stop, but she was really not angry that Concubine Su was so arrogant. She was obviously supported by the Empress Dowager. The queen saw it in her eyes.
However, after all, Mrs. Qin was the eldest. Although she could not marry noble because she was not born at the right time, the prime minister has not completely given up on her. Especially if Qin Zi is trapped in the palace of the king of Chu now, it can't be like often entering the palace to persuade the queen in the past. This heavy responsibility has shifted to the aunt's shoulder. Compared with the queen, she knows more about the family. As a plan, I know that this is not the time to "shock the snake". In addition, even if the queen is held accountable, she will not hurt Su's hair. On the contrary, she may be reprimanded by the Empress Dowager.
At this time, she must not add fuel to the fire.
With a gentle smile, she turned from the middle: "The Empress is concerned about the safety of the princess, and it is inevitable that she is concerned."
Yi Jing expressed his understanding and gratitude: "My concubine is well and cares for me."
It's like I didn't see the queen's angry face.
Seeing that she could not be forced to be soft, let alone implement her innocence and wrongful charges, the queen was not willing, let alone give her a seat, and did not care that her parents and sister had to stand with her. The long armor scraped the carved handle, pinched it heavily in the palm of her hand, and resisted the reprimand - the eldest sister heard her insistence on seeing Concubine Su earlier. There was a admonition that it was not easy to make Concubine Su guilty, and she had to think about it from a long time. Although she didn't think so, she pushed the empress dowager's arrow without hesitation when she saw the scenery, and she understood that she could not be in a hurry for a while.
Although her throat was burning, the queen did not ask any more questions. Instead, she asked Zi Ruo, "My seventh sister, how are you doing now?"
Not to mention that the scenery almost couldn't help laughing, Mrs. Qin was also blushing. If Qin Zi was repeatedly rejected by the King of Chu, she was willing to be a concubine. Who didn't know that the Qin family had removed her clan and drove her away from her family? Although the Qin family had the intention to spread the public opinion that her son was "affectionate", she was still criticized for being shameless and corrupted by the family tradition, that is, the king of Chu went to the vassals. After that, these comments gradually subsided. At this time, the queen openly asked her, didn't she show that the Qin family was in a pretentious manner and secretly supported Qi Niang Gan as a concubine?
She quickly explained, "If the son is capricious, his father and ancestor will inevitably be angry, but his mother can't bear it after all. The mother is also sympathetic to his mother's kindness, so she cares about his mother's situation."
The princess doesn't care that a pleasant person always interrupts and once again expresses her understanding: "Although Zi Ruo's behavior is not tolerated by etiquette, she is a blood relative after all. How can she break her brotherhood? The Empress is relieved. Although if she is uneasy, she has repeatedly asked to support herself. After all, she is a spoiled girl. Where is the royal palace? It will really make her do heavy things. At present, she is only in the needle room, that is, to do some light work of female red needle chisel.
Not to mention that the queen grabbed the handle, even Mrs. Qin's face was not good-looking - what a Su concubine, she really dares to treat their prime minister's daughter as a slave maidservant!
But the princess obviously did not care about the feelings of the two sisters and said, "In the eyes of my concubine, if the son has repented, especially Mrs. Qin, and once cried that she was unfilial, which made her mother sad... The Empress should also comfort Qin Xiang and Youcheng, forgive her son again, and let him return home without being a slave. "
"Princess Su, if you are really virtuous, how can you not know why Qi Niang is willing to accept people's words in this situation?" The queen couldn't help blurt out for a moment.
Yi Jing only felt inexplicable: "If the son is the daughter of the Qin family, even if she is abandoned by the family, it is also because of her obsession. At the beginning, Mrs. Qin pleaded hard, and the royal palace gave her son a place to live. I don't know that there is still a responsibility to understand her. She is not my family, but at most it is old. At present, although she is willing to be a maidservant, my concubine has never scolded her. As for Zi Ruo's previous thoughts, even Qin Xiang and Youcheng regard it as a strange humiliation, and my concubines don't need to pay attention to Zi Ruo's wishes.
Yi Jing sighed gently: "Mother, if you want to say this, if you act so arbitrarily, it is indeed unfilial. It really hurts the reputation of famous families. It is no wonder that Qin Xiang is angry and hates you. Qin Xiang is an important minister of the country. The royal palace should take into account the reputation of the prime minister's house. It will not really take the son as a concubine. If the son is innocent and can be guaranteed in the future, he will repent and personally seek guilt. Father, maybe we can save one or two.
It is also Qin Ziruo's wishful intention to humiliate himself, but his cousin wants to take into account the family tradition. The threshold of her family is indeed not low, and it is not enough to let people die and beg for white people to achieve it. The meaning of the words - the Empress, your Qin family is too shameless at the time, not to mention that your sister has suffered a lot of grievances.
