After redemption, he took away the luck of the future queen

As soon as the news of Duke Ding's entry into the cabinet came out, the Queen Mother was filled with emotion.

He kept mumbling, and finally saw the emperor's methods. Although everything he wanted to do seemed impossible at first, after a while, everything turned out to be successful.

The emperor's wings are getting harder and harder.

The Queen Mother had a sense of crisis and watched Sang Wanrong drink the bitter medicine she ordered her to take every day.

Sang Wanrong didn't dare to disobey, so she held her nose and drank the medicine.

On Cui Wanyi's side, the Queen Mother also sent someone to report back every day, keeping an eye on the eldest prince and Cui Wanyi's every move.

"The Queen Mother, I have something important to report." The maid leaned over and bowed to the Queen Mother. She lowered her head and stood respectfully aside, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

"Tell me." The Queen Mother looked tired and leaned lazily on the brocade couch, putting her hands in her sleeves to keep warm.

With the Queen Mother's permission, the maid said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Linjiang came into the palace just now to visit the eldest prince and Cui Wanyi. Mrs. Linjiang Marquis gave Cui Wanyi a set of jewelry with musk, Buddhist beads and bracelets. Cui Wanyi was blind and didn't look at it. When I came out, I was very happy and took it with me immediately.”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly became energetic, sat up straight, raised her eyebrows slightly, and urged the palace maid to continue: "If there is anything else, please tell me."

"When I returned to the Queen Mother, Mrs. Linjiang Marquis told Cui Wanyi that she had to fight for favor in the palace. The Cui family is her solid backing and asked her to plan a bright future for the eldest prince. Then she will be the master of the harem."

"Did you hear this from Mrs. Linjiang Marquis herself?" After hearing the maid's reply, the Queen Mother excitedly took her hands out of her sleeves and pointed at the maid.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, yes."

"Hahaha." The Queen Mother laughed heartily, raised her hand to wave away the palace maid, and said to herself, "You did not do anything wrong by recording the eldest prince in Cui Wanyi's name. Marquis Linjiang is indeed ambitious."

at the same time.

Royal study room.

Gu Jianli also heard the same reply from the spy. He sneered coldly and said: "This is the purpose of the aristocratic family sending women to the palace. They have exhausted all means, all for my position."

Gu Jianxing, who was standing aside, remained silent and always had a respectful expression on his face. He did not relax at all because the other person was his brother.

"Jianxing, how's the investigation going?" Gu Jianli turned to Prince Rongjun.

Gu Jianxing bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, things are clearer. A family from a branch of the Sang family gave birth to a son. The birth date of the eldest prince is almost the same as that of a few days. However, this family is no longer in the capital. According to reports, Neighbors of this family said that their son fell seriously ill not long after he was born, and they took their son out of the city to see a famous doctor and have not returned yet."

"Keep checking!" Gu Jianli was very angry. In terms of famous doctors, the capital had the most. There was no need to go to other places to find famous doctors. There must be something wrong with this.

"Yes! Your Majesty, do you want to reveal to the Cui family in a subtle way that the eldest prince does not look like your majesty?" Gu Jianxing raised his eyebrows and left the investigation of the eldest prince to the Cui family. Perhaps it would be more effective for the Cui family to If you go to fight with the Sang family, the result may be unexpected.

"It sounds like a good idea, and it is feasible. I think Cui Wanyi will also see it. I will go to her palace more often and walk around in front of her more. I will mention it again when I get the opportunity. It is not advisable to act too hastily."

Gu Jianli firmly believes in the benefits of working slowly and carefully, and should not be impatient. It would be better if Cui Wanyi could find out the flaws herself.

"By the way, see you, come with me tomorrow to welcome General Li who has returned to the court. General Li has made great contributions in quelling the rebellion in the northwest. What should I reward him? Should I reward him with the title of a duke? Or give him his The daughter is recruited into the palace as a concubine?"

He and Princess Qingping have not yet married, and no one in the palace can compete with the Queen Mother, so she is somewhat unable to cope.

If the Cui family and the Sang family had not united because of the eldest prince's confrontation, then the second prince's life would have been in danger, and he was in urgent need of a powerful force to balance the harem.

The Le family was not strong enough, and Le Xiurong was not strong enough to compete with the Queen Mother.

"Wei Chen..."

Before Gu Jianxing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Jianli.

"Seeing that, I decided to make General Li the Duke of Wei. I heard that his daughter, like him, also has a lot of tricks on her hands, and she has a hot temper. The palace will be lively in the future."

Gu Jianli mentioned General Li's daughter, and his face lit up with excitement. Only in front of Gu Jianxing would he not hide his emotions.

The emperor said everything, so Gu Jianxing just shut up.

The next day.

At the entrance of Deshengmen City, there was a sea of ​​people and a lot of people. The crowds on both sides of the street were all beaming with joy.

The emperor, along with Prince Rong and hundreds of civil and military officials, were waiting at the city gate early to greet the victorious General Li.

This time, General Li not only put down the rebellion of the Northwest Army, but also took advantage of the civil strife in Daliang to plunder the Tatars. He drove them further north to the desert, captured three Tatar cities, and expanded the territory. The territory of Daliang has great military achievements.

This was the first achievement Gu Jianli had achieved since he took the throne. He was in a very excited mood at the moment.

Gu Jianli was in a good mood when he saw General Li who was sincerely surrendering to him. He conferred the title of Duke of Wei on the spot and rewarded General Li with a thousand taels of gold, ten dou of pearls, and land...

Such a generous reward expressed Gu Jianli's great favor to Wei Guogong, which made the civil and military officials and the people present excited and excited.

The courtiers came to the Duke of Wei one after another to congratulate him on his promotion to the title of Duke of Wei.

Next came the celebration banquet. Gu Jianli vaguely mentioned to Wei Guogong that he wanted to take his daughter into the palace and make her his concubine. After hearing this, Wei Guogong immediately knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness.

This is consent!

Gu Jianli was always in a good mood.

Princess Yulong's mansion.

Princess Qingping learned that Wei Guogong's daughter had been named a virtuous concubine by the emperor. She was so angry that she couldn't eat. She hurriedly asked the eldest princess Yulong, what should she do?

When something like this happened, Princess Yulong could only ask her daughter to endure it.

Gu Jianli is the emperor and has weak power. He has many unavoidable difficulties. In order to win over all parties and expand the harem, he needs to enhance his own strength in this way. As the future queen, his daughter must be generous at this time. She Tell your daughter not to panic. When she enters the palace, she will be the queen. It is not easy to deal with the concubines under her.

So at the same time, the eldest princess Yulong sent a few people to Princess Qingping. These people were the people that the eldest princess Yulong had placed in the harem, and they were very useful.

She came close to Princess Qingping's ear, whispered a few words, then raised her head, and continued: "Don't always focus on Princess Wu'an. The concubines in the harem are your real enemies, Wu An." Even if the princess has an affair with His Majesty, she cannot enter the palace. Even if she is pregnant with His Majesty's child, it will still be an illegitimate child and will not pose any threat to you. With the Queen Mother here, you don't have to worry about Concubine De, Concubine De is jumping around. If she doesn't get up, she won't be pregnant with His Majesty's child, and the child in Sang Wanyi's belly must not be kept."

After saying these words, Princess Yulong had a murderous intention in her eyes.

Once Sang Wanyi gives birth to the prince, the Queen Mother will definitely take action.

"Mom, didn't you tell me not to touch the prince? Why now?" Hearing what Yulong said, Princess Qingping was shocked. Mother wanted her to get rid of the child in Sang Wanyi's belly?

"Good daughter, the emperor already has two sons, the eldest prince and the second prince. It's not that he doesn't have sons. Listen to mother, the other concubines can give birth to your majesty's children, but only Sang Wanyi can't give birth to his majesty's children. Absolutely not! The emperor knows it. It was you who got rid of the child in Sang Wanyi's belly, so I won't be angry with you, just wait and see." Princess Yulong's eyes were stern.

To strike first is to be strong, but to strike later is to suffer disaster.

Princess Yulong knew very well what the Queen Mother was thinking.

Why did the late emperor give his daughter a marriage to Gu Jianli? It was because of the Queen Mother.

Gu Jianli: "..."

I didn’t realize it until now. Isn’t it a little late?

Princess Qingping pursed her lips and nodded. Her mother was right. Her common enemy with the emperor was the Queen Mother. When she became queen, she would have many opportunities to repair Princess Wu'an.
