"Do you have any questions?" Jin Miaomiao looked at everyone, and when she saw everyone shaking their heads, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "I have one more question."
"Huh? Do you still think there's anything wrong with the matter of the princess?"
"Old sir, it has nothing to do with this. It's about the little prince, who is the founder of Tianxing Sect. According to the age of the little prince, when he was born, Emperor Chongde was already with Prince Tong, so , does his birth mean that Emperor Chongde had some conflicts or discord with Prince Tong during this period?"
"I really need to explain this to you. This child is an accident. To be more precise, it is an expected accident."
"What's the meaning?"
Tantai Pingchuan looked at these pairs of doubtful eyes, chuckled, and said, "This child's biological mother was once a female official next to Emperor Chongde. She grew up with Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong. She can be regarded as their Witnesses of their relationship, they watched them come together and finally come together. However, you also know that when a female official reaches an age, she must either be released from the palace in accordance with palace regulations, or be included in the emperor's harem."
"But there are exceptions." Song Jue shrugged, "There are several female officials around the Queen Mother who have reached their age, but they are determined not to leave the palace, nor do they want to become the concubines of their father. They just want to continue to serve the Queen. The Father and the Queen Mother I persuaded them several times and saw that their attitude was very firm, so I let them go, and now I am doing pretty well."
"Your Majesty, you also said that that was an exception. In the previous dynasty, there was no such exception." Tantai Pingchuan waved his hand, "This female official is called Su Lan. She stayed in the palace until she was twenty-five years old. Before her birthday, the palace contacted her family in advance, but her family refused to let her go back."
"Refuse?" Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao asked in unison, "Why? Her parents haven't seen their daughter for so many years. Don't they want to take her back and reunite her as a family?"
"Her parents passed away when she was three years old, and her family only had two uncles and one aunt. Those two uncles made it very clear that they did not want Sulan to go to their home, but the aunt was not so determined. , she asked people in the palace to send Su Lan a message that if she agrees to marry the man chosen by the family as a bride, she can take her in for a period of time until she gets married."
"That sounds really nice." Shen Cha's face darkened, "You want to sell her, right?"
Tantai Pingchuan looked at her, sighed softly, and winked at Shen Haolin beside him.
In fact, there was no need for Tantai Pingchuan. Shen Haolin had been paying attention to Shen Cha's expression. When he saw her expression change, he had already held her hand and patted it twice.
"I'm fine." Shen Cha smiled at Shen Haolin, then looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "Don't worry, every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. This has nothing to do with you two in the first place. It's because they had malicious intentions and did what they did. If something like this happens, it goes against your original intention. The old general said that you two will have no objection to how I deal with them."
"Yes, whatever you do, you deserve it." Looking at her expression, Tantai Pingchuan felt relieved. "We continue to tell Su Lan's story. As for whether she was sold by her family, we don't know very well. We only know that Su Lan rejected the proposal, and refused it many times. Her aunt once went to the palace to persuade her in person, and the two of them had a big quarrel. Very powerful.”
"How do you know?"
"At that time, Mrs. Xuanyuan once went to the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and she happened to bump into her." Tantai Pingchuan spread his hands, "They were close friends and would get together from time to time. Later, Sulan decided to leave the palace without anyone else. Take refuge and live your own life. Although it will be difficult, it is at least better than selling it to an old man. But her aunt did not give up. She bothered her every now and then and even found someone to kidnap her."
"Were you bumped into by Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong?"
"That's not true." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head at Song Jue, who looked very interested. "They are different from you and don't like to run outside the palace. Prince Tong is better, because he needs to handle official duties and train his subordinates. The soldiers spent half of their time outside the palace every day, but Emperor Chongde could not come out even once a month. However, they had a very deep relationship with Su Lan. They regarded Su Lan as their relatives and family members, so Su Lan There are people secretly following Lan all the time. Su Lan’s aunt was not so bold before and did not do anything to hurt Su Lan. The people who were secretly following her would not show up rashly until..."
"Sulan's aunt is planning to kidnap someone?"
"That's right, but I don't know what the specific situation is." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head, "Old Madam Xuanyuan also heard from the Queen Mother that Su Lan ran all the way from her small courtyard to the palace. Before entering the palace, Emperor Chongde gave her a badge that allowed her to enter the palace at any time without being blocked, just because she was afraid that something like this would happen."
"In the end, what they were worried about happened." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "Then why did she marry Emperor Chongde?"
"It should be that she decided to go all out in order to completely cut off her aunt's thoughts. And..." Shen Cha looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "The one who made this decision was not Su Lan, but Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong. They think this is the only way to make Aunt Sulan give up, right?"
"Yes." Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "It is said that after learning the news, Aunt Su Lan's expression was very wonderful. She was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice on suspicion of kidnapping. When she was released, Sulan has become the concubine of Emperor Chongde."
"What about the little prince? If Emperor Chongde accepted her as his concubine, it was an expedient measure, then how did this child come about?"
"As I said before, please find the answer from their manuscripts." Tantai Pingchuan shrugged, "Children, don't expect to get something for nothing. Everything must be discovered through your own efforts." He moved towards the cleaned room. The room raised its chin, "Go, children, the answer you are waiting for is waving at you!"
