(sixteen)
I thought that Wu, who had never seen the world, was a good person, but I never expected that she turned out to be a tough guy.
There is also the Wang family of Princess Nian. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black.
Anyway, the family has been the commander of Jinwu Zuowei for generations, and his family background is not low.
Jing learned the tricks of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself.
Under the persuasion of the old woman, Queen Mother Sun had no choice but to restrain her anger and go to the side hall.
She never knew that a woman's cry could be so unpleasant to hear.
"Concubine Wu Xian, why are you crying in the inner courtyard of the palace?"
Queen Mother Sun's face was livid, and her words seemed to have been forced out of her mouth.
Sun Ge stopped crying and said, "I feel ashamed for my concubine's self-indulgence."
"The Empress Dowager, I don't covet the glory and wealth of Renshou Palace, nor do I want to have a deep relationship with your sisters. You can let me go back to your home. I can eat bran-thick vegetables."
"It seems that the late emperor made a wise move by raising his concubine outside the palace."
Not a word is mentioned about the Queen Mother Sun, but every word contains the connotation that the Queen Mother Sun is heartless and reneges on her words.
Empress Dowager Sun felt a sharp pain in her head. She and Mrs. Wu really disliked each other.
This is her Renshou Palace, and she is the most noble woman in the Ming Dynasty.
But now, we are in a dilemma.
"Concubine Wu Xian, the Ai family is in a bad mood, it's not because they don't like you."
"Since you were invited by the Ai family to stay at Renshou Palace, you are an honored guest of the Ai family."
Queen Mother Sun felt as if she had swallowed feces.
Distinguished guest?
Is Wu also worthy?
Sunge opened her eyes wide in surprise, and suddenly realized, "Empress Dowager, I understand, this is called venting anger. The late emperor taught me to read and calligraphy."
"You are the mistress, and I am the concubine. Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut if I express my anger towards you. I will not be angry or speak out."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Sun bit her lower lip tightly. The anger in her heart kept rising and seemed to be uncontrollable. Her arms could not stop shaking, her cheeks twitched, and she did not say a word for a long time.
Wu, damn it!
The late Emperor himself taught reading and calligraphy to teach such a thing?
Still tight-lipped?
The heartbreaking howls of ghosts and wolves had already flown out of Renshou Palace like a kite with wings.
Empress Dowager Sun took a deep breath, "Concubine Wu Xian, since you are in the palace, you should abide by the etiquette and rules of the palace and don't let outsiders laugh."
"Princess Tan, your mother-in-law doesn't know the etiquette in the palace, but you know it. Before the wedding, the palace specially sent a nanny to the commander's house to teach her carefully."
"You still need to be more careful around Mrs. Wu."
"What happened today, the Ai family doesn't want to see again in the future."
Wang, the Princess of Nian, gave the gift and hesitated, "Mother-in-law is the elder, and my daughter-in-law is the younger generation. She should be filial to her mother-in-law and listen to her teachings."
Mrs. Wang never mentioned what she had done with Concubine Wu in the past.
Well, that was just her blind mistake.
Now, she was going to press her eyeballs in again.
"My mother-in-law rarely enters the palace, and she even begs the Queen Mother to be lenient."
"Everyone in the Prince's Palace will be grateful to the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager Sun was about to find an excuse to do something, when she saw a eunuch hurried in and whispered in the Empress Dowager Sun's ear.
Empress Dowager Sun was seen stumbling and almost falling to the ground. She didn't care to argue with Sunge, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and left in a hurry.
Sunge: I'm sorry, she has a sharp ear and eyesight.
Zhu Qizhen is dead?
Zhu Qiyu started so quickly?
It's so fast that it's a bit outrageous.
No, Zhu Qiyu's hand can't reach the Wala army yet.
rumor?
This rumor is good and wonderful, and it cannot fool these powerful people, but the common people and wealthy households will probably believe it.
Empress Dowager Sun decided to deal with Zhu Qi's knocking on the gate of Xuan Mansion on the grounds of impersonation. Zhu Qiyu seized the opportunity and stepped in without stopping.
Very good, very good.
For dinner today, she could use two more bowls of rice.
"Concubine, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."
Mrs. Wang poured tea for Sunge, Mrs. Hang squeezed Sunge's shoulders, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the side hall again.
…
Empress Dowager Sun's body was limp, and she held the old woman's wrist tightly, staring at the eunuch who came to report the news, with a fierce look in her eyes: "Do you know where the source of this rumor is?"
The eunuch lowered his head and whispered, "Not found."
"hateful!"
"Absolutely hateful!"
Empress Dowager Sun patted the table heavily.
"The people behind the scenes have terrible intentions!"
Empress Dowager Sun gasped and no longer cared about her manners, "The Ai family wants to establish a prince!"
"The Ai family wants to establish a prince!"
Empress Dowager Sun seemed to have grasped the last straw and kept murmuring and repeating.
As long as the crown prince is established, Qi Zhen's orthodox position will never be shaken.
"Publish the decree of Ai Jiayi and announce to King Tan and all the officials that they will discuss matters in the Wenhua Hall after an hour."
If it belongs to Qi Town, it must belong to Qi Town.
She can let Zhu Qiyu take charge, but she will never allow Zhu Qiyu to replace him.
Queen Mother Sun forced herself to calm down and "change clothes for the Ai family."
Next, there is still a tough battle to fight.
In the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Qiyu was calm and unhurried.
Today, among the thousands of news inside and outside the capital, three are the most eye-catching.
First, the emperor went hunting in the north and died at the hands of Wala.
Secondly, Wala Langzi was so ambitious that he ordered people to pretend to be the emperor and had great plans.
Thirdly, Empress Dowager Sun forcibly took the female family members and children of Prince Nie into the palace as hostages.
Public opinion is on him.
Zhu Qizhen should be nailed to the Pillar of Shame and be infamous for thousands of years.
He knew that Queen Mother Sun was panicking.
Don't panic, it's useless to panic.
Behind the bead curtain, Queen Mother Sun spoke: "Wala is very ambitious, the emperor is hunting in the north, and the people are panicking."
"The Ai family intends to make Zhu Jianshen, the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. Do you have any objections?"
"Establishing a crown prince can stabilize people's hearts internally and let Wala know that our Ming Dynasty will not be manipulated at will."
She must find ways to use ethical principles to restrain King Tao.
King Yin could only temporarily manage the affairs of the country and leave the throne vacant to wait for the emperor's return.
The ministers were not as responsive as Empress Dowager Sun had imagined, and many of them even hesitated.
Wang Zhi looked around and sighed, "Queen Mother, at this time and that time, establishing a prince may not be able to calm the people's hearts."
"Someone pretends to be the emperor and knocks on the gate of Xuanfu. This is official news from the imperial court."
"Nowadays, there are rumors in the capital and border towns that the emperor is dead, so Wala Ye first deliberately found someone to pretend to be the emperor in order to confuse the public and seek benefits."
"If you want to stabilize people's hearts, it will be useless to just establish a prince."
The news came with such force that it was too late to stop it.
Empress Dowager Sun raised her eyebrows, "What does the Minister of Civil Affairs mean by this? Is it possible that Cheng Cheng is being coerced by such rumors with ulterior motives?"
"Everyone in Wenhua Hall knows the truth."
"The emperor Bei Shou is alive and well."
"Now we just need to establish the crown prince and welcome the emperor back one day."
"Queen Mother, I know very well that you cannot calm the hearts of the people." Wang Zhi felt helpless.
Is it possible that the emperor is the one who jumps out to explain now?
