A family banquet ended with Concubine Dong Gui fainting and the fourth prince being grounded.
However, it is not completely ineffective——
First, everyone, including Emperor Qing, believed the fact that the Ninth Prince had really lost his memory;
Second, Concubine Dong was still Emperor Qing’s favorite woman. For her, Emperor Qing directly punished the fourth prince heavily;
Third, the master of the Qing Dynasty is Emperor Qing. Although the eldest prince is favored, he is still just a prince. When facing the real master, he can't even protect his own brother!
Fourth, when the second prince saw that the eldest prince had lost face, he was not proud, but instead hurt others. Knowing Emperor Qing's bottom line, he became more restrained in his actions.
With the return of the Ninth Prince, subtle changes have taken place in the court.
The forces of the eldest prince and the second prince have also entered a delicate state of balance.
Emperor Qing was very satisfied and continued to promote the Ninth Prince.
After the family dinner, Emperor Qing suddenly realized that his sons had grown up and had their own plans.
Between him and the princes, they were not only father and son, but also monarchs and ministers, and even competitors.
He wanted to push the Ninth Prince to the stage before to help the First and Second Princes share the firepower.
However, later, Emperor Qing felt that the two forces still could not achieve the best effect of balance, and a tripartite confrontation was the most stable.
The Ninth Prince is not only a target, but also a pawn to check and balance the forces of the First Prince and the Second Prince.
With this understanding, Emperor Qing doted on Concubine Dong Gui and her son more and more.
Just like this moment, Emperor Qing saw Gu Qingcheng dressed up and leaving the palace. Instead of stopping him, he even encouraged him, "Why are you leaving the palace? Want to go to the Huo family again?"
When speaking, Emperor Qing's tone was still filled with obvious joking.
He is like an ordinary loving elder who knows that his son "Zhimu Shaoai" has learned how to cook cabbage at a young age, and is very happy to see his success.
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
It's not easy for me to interfere, but after all, I am Dong Lang's biological mother. I really feel uneasy. "
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
As she spoke, Concubine Dong started coughing violently.
She hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Your Majesty, your Majesty! I have overstepped my bounds. I only ask that your majesty, for the sake of your compassion for the dying person and your compassion, allow me to take this concubine."
After saying this, Concubine Dong buried her head on the quilt, and the square handkerchief was hidden by her.
Emperor Qing saw all her little moves.
After a long time, he sighed, "You just think too much!"
"Although your body is a little weaker, you haven't reached that stage yet."
"Don't worry, I have already ordered the hospital to cure your illness no matter what."
He only said to let Concubine Dong Gui feel relieved, but did not let go.
Concubine Dong continued to kneel down and beg, "Your Majesty, please agree to be my concubine."
She raised her head slightly, revealing her beautiful and fragile profile.
Emperor Qing looked at her, a little confused for a moment.
More than twenty years ago, Concubine Dong Guifei had just entered the palace to serve as the princess's companion. The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was young and lively, as if she were a flower blooming in the deep palace.
So beautiful, so heartwarming.
stop! stop!
After all, she was the woman she had doted on for more than ten years, and Mrs. Dong was obedient and obedient.
People are going to die, so it’s understandable that they only have this wish.
Emperor Qing still had feelings for Concubine Dong Gui. Seeing her like this, his cold and iron heart felt a little softer.
Of course, the most important thing is that Emperor Qing has decided to promote the Ninth Prince.
However, the Ninth Prince's mother clan is too humble and cannot compete with the First and Second Princes only by relying on "Holy Favor".
The Huo family has 200,000 frontier troops, and several of his father and son are brave generals.
The marriage between the Ninth Prince and the Huo family can actually add weight to the Ninth Prince.
Moreover, once the two families get married, he will not be the only emperor who wants to deal with the Huo family.
Before the Huo family favored any prince, all the princes still wanted to win over them.
If Emperor Qing wants to impose sanctions, he will probably be opposed by the prince and his party members.
If the Ninth Prince marries Huo Wuniang, the situation will change.
The eldest prince's line and the second prince's line will do their best to target the Huo family.
right! Everyone needs to move! The prince and his ministers could not form an alliance and form a powerful force. Only then could Emperor Qing sit firmly on the high platform and watch the show!
"Okay! I promise you! I promise you everything!"
"...Your Majesty, you are indeed the best person to me in the world! Meeting you in this life is my greatest blessing!"...
Emperor Qing and Concubine Dong Guifei, the "true love", play with each other.
The scene was touching and the result was superb.
Emperor Qing agreed to the marriage and personally called Uncle Huo to express the royal family's desire to marry the Huo family.
Second Uncle Huo naturally wanted to refuse: "Your Majesty values the Huo family and favors marriage, but the Huo family has ancestral precepts and must be a pure minister of the emperor. You are not allowed to make friends with the prince privately!"
Emperor Qing was already wary of the Huo family and refused to easily believe in the so-called ancestral teachings.
However, Uncle Huo spoke sincerely, and the ancestral precepts sounded so upright, and Emperor Qing showed a happy smile at the right time.
Of course, Emperor Qing did not give up. He caught the loophole in Uncle Huo's words, "How can you say it is private? The marriage between the Ninth Prince and the Huo girl is my intention, and I will also decree the marriage!"
If the emperor agrees, it is not considered "private".
Seeing that Emperor Qing had gone so far as to say this, Second Uncle Huo couldn't refuse, so he simply knelt down and accepted the order to thank him.
In this way, the marriage between the Ninth Prince and the Huo family was finalized.
"What a good Qingcheng, who usually looks harmless, but is actually a man of success, and he actually pulled the Huo family onto his chariot!"
The eldest prince and the second prince were all indignant when they heard the news.
They secretly cursed the Ninth Prince for being cunning and relying on the Huo family for so-called life-saving grace.
When the courtiers learned about this, they all had their own ideas.
What was originally a fight between two dragons has turned into a three-legged confrontation.
Although the Ninth Prince is a latecomer, it is different with the Huo family as his in-laws.
Its power can already compete with the eldest prince and second prince.
During the Qing Dynasty, martial arts prevailed, and the status of generals was particularly high.
The Huo family has guarded Xizhou for many years, and their comrades and old friends in the army are all over the government and the public.
Even if you don't rely on the 200,000 men, just these connections can help the Ninth Prince a lot.
"Hmph, you are indeed a bitch born of ***, you know how to serve people in Israel."
In addition to the eldest prince and the second prince, there was another person who was very angry about this marriage.
It was none other than Huo Wuniang’s unfated ex-mother-in-law, Princess Ruyang.
Although she was angry at her son for not living up to expectations, she still felt sorry for him.
In order to clear her son's name, she did not hesitate to throw dirty water on Huo Wuniang!
Some time ago, Huo Wuniang was finally forced to leave, and the rumors in Beijing about her son's stupidity and absurdity were suppressed.
Within two days of the break, Huo Wuniang came back again.
Still in a very graceful way - the Ninth Prince's savior.
After saving the Ninth Prince, he was saved. As a result, the two of them fell in love for a long time, and finally achieved enlightenment.
The daughter of a vulgar warrior who was despised by Ruyang suddenly became a princess.
What will the world think?
Do you think Huo Wuniang is really vulgar, shrewd and unvirtuous, or do you think Ruyang is domineering and her son is blind?
Yes, the son of Princess Ruyang became the consort, and his wife's status seemed to be more noble than that of Huo Wuniang.
But they are all from this circle in Beijing, so no one knows the inside story——
Although the third princess is a princess, she is only a superficial beauty.
Not to mention anything else, her dowry may not be as generous as Huo Wuniang's.
In addition to one hundred and twenty-eight items, Huo Wuniang's dowry also included three hundred parts!
These are elite soldiers trained by the Huo family.
She directly made a dowry for Huo Wuniang.
The third princess, the dignified princess, doesn’t even have her own bodyguards!
Princess Ruyang became more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.
His son gave up pearls for dead fish eyes, and the rumors he concocted were shattered by reality!
Their family has really lost all dignity.
"Qingcheng is the same bitch. As a prince, he has to rely on women!"
Is it shameful for a pretty boy to eat soft rice?
Ruyang was so angry that he could only vent his anger in this way.
And she was familiar with the lethality of rumors, so soon, there were rumors in the capital that the Ninth Prince was eating soft food...
