"The problem is with my temperament. If we remind him, will it be counterproductive?" Yuanyang glanced at Wen. At critical moments, her best friend still has the courage to kill and make decisive decisions. "It's not that I'm afraid that I will anger us because of this. You don’t want to see us anymore, but I probably don’t want others to know about such secrets.”
Qingwen also forced herself to calm down and think carefully, "Yuanyang, what you said makes sense. I may not care about other things, but we have to be more cautious about this kind of thing, so as not to backfire."
"Or should we remind him in a hint way?" Yuanyang was also thinking about it, "Give some examples?"
"Do you think the uncle won't understand this?" Qingwen shook her head, "It's not obvious. He thought we were hinting him not to associate with Grandma Zhu and Grandma Lian. But if it's too obvious, he would know. We know the situation of the people in the palace, so won’t the matter of us following him be exposed?" "It will be exposed. Sooner or later, he will also know, and if he wants to be punished, just punish me." Yuanyang is quite responsible at this time. , puffed up his chest and raised his head, "This is something I did wrong in the first place. I dare to say this anywhere. I miss women. There are so many in the house. Even if the grandmothers are particular about it, if they don't do what they want, there are also aunts." , no matter how bad it is, there are still Ping'er, Siqi, Xiangling, Zijuan, Jin Chuaner and Qingwen, so what can't you do?"
When Qingwen heard this, she was both angry and amused. She said "Bah" and said, "How come you were the only one left out? Why, you are still a young girl, I can't touch you anymore?"
Yuanyang blushed slightly, ignored Jingwen's joke, and said to himself: "That's it, we have to seize the time to tell him, it really can't be done. Even if I say it clearly, I have to make it clear. When things cannot happen again, you have to break it off, otherwise..."
"You don't have to go alone, I'll go with you." Qingwen was not the one who was afraid of trouble. She had a raised chest, "This affects hundreds of people in the whole house. He is really going to die." What should we do with these hundreds of people? What should we do? We have to explain the stakes to him clearly. It’s really frustrating. We in the house are letting him do what he wants, so why bother looking for trouble? I don’t believe it. It’s so rare for a woman in the palace to have three eyes and six holes!”
When Yuanyang heard this, he couldn't help but his cheeks were on fire, and he spat, "Little Hoof, who is not easy to imitate, but you follow the coquettish Hoof Siqi to learn such dirty talk, and you are not afraid of damaging your own face? You have to do it anyway. You are a concubine, don’t say such words again in the future, or you will be criticized..."
Qingwen blushed all of a sudden and said anxiously: "Who said I was going to raise a concubine? What's the matter? Who is spreading rumors to ruin my reputation?"
Yuanyang was surprised, with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you mean by ruining your reputation? Why did you ruin your reputation? You are Grandma's personal maid. Grandma didn't even bring a maid from the Shen family when she got married. Are you raising a concubine? Isn’t that right? If you don’t lift me up, won’t you be putting pressure on Xiangling, Ying’er, and Zicuckoo, and making others feel embarrassed to lift up concubines in the future?”
Qingwen hesitated for a moment, and there was some hesitation in her eyes, "That's not what I meant. If I want to raise a concubine, I'm afraid I will have a boy and a half girl. Also, if I want to raise a concubine, you Heping'er and Jin Chuan will be the same." What should I do? It’s impossible for me to take the lead and be ahead of you, right?"
"Then you should hurry up and get pregnant as soon as possible." Yuanyang smiled, "As for me, Heping'er, Jinchuan'er, and the others, they are not happy. Who says we will definitely get pregnant before you, and you are just later than Jinchuan'er." My son and I were the first to marry Grandma Shen, who can compare with you?"
Qingwen shook her head, "Grandma doesn't have a legitimate son yet. It's not appropriate for us girls to get pregnant first. Aren't the other four girls also going to come in? I'm wondering if I should wait until the fourth girl comes in."
Yuanyang didn't expect Qingwen to have such a delicate mind. She pursed her lips and nodded: "You are right to think so, but if you are pregnant, it is destined by God. Don't give in..." ·
The words of her best friend made Qingwen feel very heart-warming, and she nodded, "I understand, but I'm like this now..."
As soon as they said this, Yuanyang and Qingwen couldn't help but sigh. The difficult matter in front of them was really difficult to handle.
Just when Yuanyang and Qingwen sighed and returned to the house, the two figures from before appeared.
Shi Ye had already gotten into the carriage and walked quietly.
"I really didn't expect that this Feng Ziying is so cowardly!" The plump and tall woman flushed with anger and said, "This is an act of filth and disorder in the palace. The crime will not be pardoned! Concubine Tsuen is shameless and should be punished by the nine tribes!"
Another slender woman was lingering in sorrow and frowned slightly, "Gu Xia, what are you so excited about? Don't you already know what kind of person Feng Keng is? He and Jia Yuanchun also have an affair. , I haven’t seen you as filled with righteous indignation as you are today?!”
"That's different!" This duo was naturally Zheng Zhiying and Wu Guxia from the palace. Originally, they heard that Yuanchun had left the palace again, so they wanted to investigate. Unexpectedly, Yuanchun returned to the palace yesterday, but they found out. He discovered the affair between Concubine Tsuen and Feng Ziying.
"Why is it different?" Zheng Zhiying asked.
Wu Guxia glared at Zheng Zhiying, "It's understandable that Yuanchun found Feng Ziying. They were already close friends, and maybe they were childhood sweethearts. It's just because Yuanchun entered the palace that we became lovers, and now we all know that the emperor accepts us. What are the thoughts of these concubines? It is nothing more than a move to show their goodwill to the martial arts, to win over the martial arts in the army. Huh, the emperor has long been devoid of sexual desires and abstains from women. He just wants to live a long life. , but I didn’t expect that Qiu Xi’s assassination would turn out like this, but he would give Prince Yizhong such an opportunity in vain......"
Wu Guxia's sigh made Zheng Zhiying also feel sad.
She had never thought about entering the palace at first, let alone wanted to enter the palace, but the Zongren Mansion directly selected them according to the list, and did not give these people any chance to resist and struggle. Of course, each family would not resist and fight. Objection is just a bit cruel to women.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was different from the previous Ming Dynasty. Most of the twelve eunuchs were abolished, and their power was greatly reduced. Even the draft girls and palace maids were handed over to the clan's mansion. The clan's mansion also had a list of families who were eligible for the royal draft girls. Generally, they were military officials. There are more families of military attachés, and ordinary gentry families may also be temporarily alerted, but civilian families are not among them.
The four families of Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Jia were all martial arts families, but the Jia family was from Conglong Wuxun, while the three families of Zhou, Wu and Zheng were all local martial arts tycoons.
From the heart, the assassination of Emperor Yonglong and his unconsciousness did not bring much sadness to Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Jia, but they were just more touching.
In fact, although he has been in the palace for several years, Emperor Yonglong has rarely been to their palaces. Even the ceremonial summons are rare. Throughout the year, he only visits each palace once or twice during New Years and holidays. Sit for a while, say a few words, and leave in just a cup of tea.
This is not just the case for them, but also for the concubines Xu Sumei and Guo who gave birth to sons. Emperor Yonglong’s thoughts were devoted to health, longevity and government affairs.
So after a few years, they have become accustomed to this kind of life, and it seems that it will continue forever, even if Emperor Yonglong remains comatose and delirious. But now that Prince Yi Zhong suddenly wants to enter the palace, the two daughters Zheng and Wu realize that this kind of life will change dramatically. They may be kicked out and relegated to the cold palace, and they will never be as free and comfortable as they are now.
Maybe there will be more leisure, but it may be the kind of leisure that no one cares about but still subject to various constraints. The Shangsanqinjun in the palace may no longer ask them to go out of the palace to pray for blessings and rest as before. Just let it be.
The concubine in the cold palace should stay in the palace for the rest of her life.
It's just that what they saw and heard during this period was too exciting for them. First, there was the affair between Jia Yuanchun and Feng Ziying, and then there was the affair between Guo Qinjun and Feng Ziying. Each one was more terrifying than the other. An excitement made them all doubt their lives.
It was just that Jia Yuanchun and Feng Ziying had a secret affair. After all, the Feng and Jia families were family friends. It was really possible that Feng Ziying and Jia Yuanchun were childhood sweethearts. However, when Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, he beat the couple with a stick, and Emperor Yonglong first gave up on women. , later became unconscious, and everyone, including the two daughters, was equivalent to a living widow. It seems reasonable that Jia Yuanchun couldn't restrain Hongxing from cheating on her.
The two most likely hooked up when Jia Yuanchun was visiting for relatives. However, now that Jia Yuanchun often leaves the palace to pray for blessings and recuperate in Chongxuan Temple to have trysts with Feng Ziying, it still frightens the two girls. To know that such a thing was discovered, Jia Yuanchun certainly He was going to be executed brutally, and Feng Ziying might also be alive.
His reputation was ruined and his life was in danger.
That's all, but the affair between Concubine Tsuen and Feng Ziying made the two women find it incredible and unimaginable.
Guo Qinjun is completely different from Jia Yuanchun. She is a noble concubine with a prince beside her, and Prince Gong has a good reputation. She actually had an affair with Feng Ziying. This is shocking.
"It is understandable that Yuanchun had an affair with Feng Ziying. Then maybe Guo Qinjun's affair with Feng Ziying was out of necessity to protect herself." Zheng Zhiying, who had pondered for a long time, replied calmly.
Wu Guxia looked at Zheng Zhiying in confusion, "Zhiying, what do you mean by this?"
"I said maybe Guo Qinjun had no choice but to do this for the sake of her and Prince Gong's lives." Zheng Zhiying glanced at Wu Guxia, and then said leisurely: "Prince Yi Zhong is going to ascend the throne and become emperor. He had a lot of trouble with the cabinet because of the prince. You should know. The cabinet insists that the emperor's sons are also qualified to be crown princes. Do you think that after Prince Yi Zhong ascends the throne, will he regard Prince Shou, Prince Fu, Prince Li and Prince Lu as thorns in the flesh? Concubine Tsuen is in a more dangerous situation than the rest of us. too much."
