Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince
Chapter 129 Decentralization of Powers
After arriving at the palace, Jiang Chuwei and Lin Muheng entered the palace together. Inside the palace, the emperor was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw them come in, he smiled and nodded.
Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei saluted the emperor and offered him tea. The emperor took the teacup, took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, and then bestowed some gold, silver and jewelry.
After the tea ceremony, Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei left the palace. Jiang Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing went wrong.
The emperor did not make things difficult for them.
On the contrary, for some reason, he was particularly satisfied with Jiang Chuwei.
After the two left, Wang Defu was very pleased to see the smile on the emperor's face.
It seems that the emperor is very satisfied with this marriage.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yu and Princess Yu have already left." Wang Defu reminded.
The emperor looked at their backs absentmindedly.
"Didn't I know they were gone?" the emperor said angrily.
"The Prince of Yu is becoming more and more high-spirited. It seems that he has married the right princess." Seeing that the emperor was happy, Wang Defu said a few more words.
Wang Defu was happy about the young lady from the Jiang family.
She is beautiful and kind.
Every time they came to the palace, if any of the palace maids or eunuchs had a headache or fever, Princess Yu would diagnose them.
Never treat them as less than human beings.
This is really rare in the imperial palace, where people are accustomed to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.
"Yes, the Princess of Yu is not only an excellent doctor, but also kind-hearted. She is a rare good woman." The emperor agreed, "It is a great honor for the Prince of Yu to marry such a virtuous wife."
Wang Defu nodded repeatedly and continued, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Yu is good at music, especially playing the pipa."
Since the Emperor admires Princess Yu, why not say more about her merits.
The emperor became interested. "Oh? I haven't heard of it. Why not ask her to come to the palace and play a piece for me to enjoy someday?"
Wang Defu quickly responded, "As ordered, I will pass the message to Princess Yu." He was secretly delighted, thinking that he had pleased the emperor again.
Jiang Chuwei had no idea that Wang Defu had assigned her a task without her permission.
This is really idle.
But the emperor thought about it and said, "Forget it. Old Fifth has that kind of personality. I thought I would embarrass his wife. There is no shortage of people who are good at music in the palace."
Wang Defu said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise."
He watched General Jiang and the Emperor grow up together.
He didn't believe that General Jiang had any ulterior motives.
The emperor is now much more relieved than before.
Especially seeing the Second Master Jiang trying his best to protect the emperor.
The emperor is now much less wary of the general's mansion.
Now, after the death of the self-proclaimed crown prince, the emperor has not appointed a successor.
Wang Defu had always been by the emperor's side, so naturally he guessed some of the emperor's thoughts.
The ones with the best chance of winning now are Prince Jin and Prince Yu.
The emperor is disappointed with the Zheng family, and the Zheng family’s evil ambitions have now been exposed.
The Sun family is now in decline, and the Queen Mother is willing but unable to support the sons of other concubines.
In the emperor's heart, the Jiang family is no longer something to be feared like a scourge.
From now on, the sky in the palace will change.
The Queen doesn't care about anything now.
Since the death of the crown prince, the queen has become a completely different person.
She hid in Fengyi Palace and disappeared.
Except for the last time when she cooperated with Commander Li to stage a play to deceive Jiang He, she has never set foot out of Fengyi Palace again.
Even the emperor seemed to have forgotten this man.
The Queen Mother no longer takes charge of affairs because of the Sun family.
Concubine Zheng became the most powerful person in the palace.
This further fueled Prince Jin's ambition.
Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei walked towards Ci'an Palace.
The Queen Mother was devoted to worshipping Buddha, but as a grandson, Lin Muheng must go to pay his respects to the Queen Mother before he can marry his first wife.
When the nanny came to report, the empress dowager was stunned for a moment.
In fact, the Queen Mother is now just a mascot in the palace.
Even most of the concubines in the palace followed Concubine Zheng's lead.
Unless someone wants to put on a show and act out a filial act like an emperor, no one would come to Ci'an Palace to deliver soup or something like that.
Later, Empress Dowager Sun was too lazy to flatter these people.
She refused to see anyone, and the concubines finally calmed down.
"Empress Dowager! Prince Yu and Princess Yu have come to pay their respects." Eunuch Liu said in a shrill voice.
"Prince Yu?"
The Queen Mother knocked on the wooden fish and opened her eyes.
Those who are familiar with her know that the Queen Mother is completely different from before.
The sharpness in her eyes was long gone, and now her eyes were dead.
Eunuch Liu hunched his back and said, "Yes, Prince Yu got married yesterday, and I came to the palace to pay my respects today."
Only then did the Queen Mother stop beating the wooden fish.
"Please let them in." At this time, the nanny came in to help her dress up.
This nun-like attire is not suitable for receiving the bride.
Jiang Chuwei and Lin Muheng looked at each other.
They thought they would be rejected like everyone else.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was willing to meet them.
The two men smiled at each other, and Eunuch Liu respectfully welcomed them in.
"Your Highness, Princess, please wait a moment!" Eunuch Liu served tea personally.
After about a cup of tea, the empress dowager was dressed.
"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen Mother." Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei said in unison.
The Queen Mother looked at them and nodded slightly, "Stand up and talk."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." The two stood up and stood aside.
The queen mother picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "You are newly married, are you used to it?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine." Lin Muheng replied.
"Yes." The Queen Mother put down the teacup and looked at Jiang Chuwei, "Jiang girl, raise your head and let me see."
Jiang Chuwei looked up as she was told, her eyes clear and neither humble nor arrogant.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with admiration, "What a dignified child. In the future, you should assist Prince Yu well and establish branches for the royal family as soon as possible."
"I will follow the Queen Mother's teachings." Jiang Chuwei replied with her head down.
"Come here!" The Queen Mother waved at Jiang Chuwei.
Jiang Chuwei moved forward as instructed.
The Queen Mother extended her hand, and Jiang Chuwei had no choice but to extend her hand as well.
At this time, a jade bracelet slipped onto her hand.
As soon as Jiang Chuwei saw the water, she knew it was good stuff.
The Queen Mother saw the rejection in Jiang Chuwei's eyes and said, "This is a gift from the late emperor to me. I am old now and can no longer use such a good thing."
Jiang Chuwei had no choice but to thank him: "Thank you Queen Mother for the reward!"
Lin Muheng was also puzzled. The Queen Mother was not very friendly to people. He came to Ci'an Palace to pay his respects today just because he didn't want to give others a chance to talk about him. He didn't expect that the Queen Mother would receive them.
The Queen Mother held Jiang Chuwei's hand and said a lot of things.
The servants in Ci'an Palace were all celebrating as if it were New Year's Day.
The Queen Mother hasn't spoken so much in a long time.
Jiang Chuwei took the opportunity to feel the Queen Mother's pulse.
Her expression changed.
The Queen Mother patted her hands soothingly and said, "From now on, you must assist Prince Yu well. The future of Daqing depends on you."
Lin Muheng was shocked. This was not something the Queen Mother should say.
Once it is spread outside, no one knows what version it will become.
Jiang Chuwei was also stunned for a moment.
Then it became clear.
Judging from the Empress Dowager's pulse, she doesn't have much time left.
The Queen Mother must have known that her body was at the end of its strength.
Her life can be considered pathetic.
I have been planning all my life, but I haven't gained much benefit. All I have done is to make wedding dresses for others.
Even the position of emperor became someone else's son.
Her mother's family was also suppressed by the emperor whom she had pushed to the throne, and they could not rise again.
I don’t know what she has been busy with all her life.
Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The Queen Mother looked at them quietly with a faint smile on her face.
"Empress Dowager..." Lin Muheng was interrupted by the Empress Dowager as soon as he opened his mouth.
"You are all good children. I believe you will do well." The Queen Mother waved her hand gently, signaling them to leave. "Go, I am a little tired."
"Grandson, take your leave." Lin Muheng and Jiang Chuwei bowed again and then left Ci'an Palace.
"The Queen Mother is...?" Lin Muheng asked the following words by mouthing.
Jiang Chuwei nodded, "Can't survive the winter."
Lin Muheng felt mixed emotions.
The Queen Mother never cared much about him.
He had no sense of presence in the palace.
Now, the Queen Mother said these words.
I don’t know whether she really wanted to push him up or just wanted to muddy the water in the pool.
If this news were to get out today, it would be of no help to Lin Muheng and would only push him to the forefront of public opinion.
Even my father would think that he was the one who induced the Queen Mother to say this.
Now that the Queen Mother is dying, various forces will surely become restless.
That location is so attractive.
King Jin is determined to win.
And they will also be caught up in this storm...
The palace is not a place to talk.
The two walked towards Fengyi Palace.
Whether the Queen meets them or not is one thing, whether they go or not is another.
As expected, the queen did not come out to meet them.
I just asked Aunt Gan to bring a message: "I wish you a son soon and a happy marriage!"
Prince Yu twitched his lips.
Today’s palace is like a temple; the Empress Dowager worships Buddha, and the Empress also worships Buddha.
Concubine Zheng was left as the only powerful one in the harem.
Concubine Zheng knew everything that Jiang Chuwei and Lin Muheng were doing.
Now, Prince Yu is Prince Jin's biggest rival.
Although she is a favorite concubine in public, only she herself knows it.
When the emperor needed the Zheng family, she was his favorite concubine.
When the emperor no longer needs the Zheng family, she is nothing.
Just like now, she couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts at all.
He didn't like Prince Jin very much, but he would also give him some things to do that would easily allow him to gain merit.
As for Prince Yu, the Emperor would ask him to do anything even if it was dangerous.
It is easy to achieve success in these things, but it is also easy to lose your life.
But every time, Prince Yu returned safely.
Every time, Prince Yu's reputation would surpass that of Prince Jin.
Concubine Zheng was very angry, but there was nothing she could do.
In the past, she could ignore Prince Yu.
Now, she had to face the fact that the current Prince of Yu was not something that the Zheng family could touch.
The 300,000 soldiers Jiang Huai led in the northwest are not just a number.
Thinking of this, Concubine Zheng became angry.
Why didn’t Prince Jin succeed that time at Prince Xiang’s Mansion?
If they succeed, with the help of the Mighty General's Mansion, what will Prince Yu have to do?
"Your Majesty! Please have some!" The palace maid had brought the meal to her for an unknown number of times.
Ever since the day Prince Yu got married, Concubine Zheng has lost her appetite.
Later, I simply didn't want to eat anything.
Now she really has no taste in her mouth no matter what she eats.
"My dear! Is this breakfast or lunch?"
Emperor Rong Sheng's voice was loud and clear. Concubine Zheng was delighted and quickly knelt down to greet him: "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you!"
"Get up!" Emperor Rong Sheng sat down and frowned as he looked at the table full of food.
Concubine Zheng had been with the emperor for many years, and she knew what he meant by just a slight movement.
The emperor disliked her extravagance.
"I am happy and want to eat more." Concubine Zheng explained quickly.
"Alas, I have been busy with state affairs these days and have no time to come and see you." Emperor Rong Sheng sighed.
Acting? Who can't?
Both of them have their own thoughts.
With the Sun family and the Queen in front of her, Concubine Zheng finally saw clearly that the Emperor would not be sincere to anyone.
The Duke of Su's Mansion is no longer in the emperor's eyes.
Concubine Zheng no longer had the capital to do whatever she wanted.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zheng quickly stood up and massaged Emperor Rong Sheng's back, "Your Majesty has worked hard. I am extremely happy to be able to accompany your side."
Emperor Rong Sheng nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction. He looked at Concubine Zheng and suddenly asked, "Concubine, do you know why I came here today?"
Concubine Zheng's heart tightened. Could it be that the Duke of Su's Mansion caused the emperor's dissatisfaction? She lowered her head and said, "I don't know. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."
Emperor Rong Sheng smiled and said, "I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently, so I came to visit you. If you have any worries, please tell me."
Concubine Zheng was delighted, because the emperor was concerned about her health. She rolled her eyes and said in a sad tone, "I just miss you, Your Majesty. There are so many trivial matters in the palace these days, and I am a little exhausted."
"The Queen doesn't take care of things, and the Imperial Concubine has indeed suffered a lot." said the Emperor.
Concubine Zheng was secretly delighted, it seemed that the emperor still cared about her.
But since the queen doesn't take care of things, it's unnecessary for her to occupy that position.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard the emperor say, "Mei Fei has also finished her confinement. I see that she has recovered well, so let her share some of the burden for my beloved concubine."
Concubine Zheng's body stiffened: "Your Majesty..."
"What's wrong?" The emperor pretended to be confused.
Concubine Zheng came to her senses and said quickly, "Then I'll have to trouble Sister Mei."
"Hahahaha, my beloved concubine takes such good care of my concubines. It's really worthy of my favor towards you." Emperor Rong Sheng was particularly happy after completing a task.
He has been looking for someone to share the power in Concubine Bo's hands.
The Queen is now a useless piece.
And Concubine Mei was just right. Like the Queen, she had no family background.
In the past, Concubine Mei would not have been worthy of being reused.
Now she has also given birth to a prince.
As long as a woman has ties, she will plan for her children.
If Mei Fei's son wants to grow up well, he must have power.
Only with power can she place people in the palace.
Her son is not easily harmed by others.
Concubine Zheng knew very well the emperor's intention.
She could only smile and say, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. It is my duty to share your worries."
But in his heart, he hated Concubine Mei to the core.
Emperor Rong Sheng was very happy.
When it comes to big things, the imperial concubine still knows what is important and what is not.
He again reminded the imperial concubine to take good care of her health and then went to the Plum Blossom Palace.
"Concubine Mei, are you willing to share my worries?" Emperor Rong Sheng looked at Concubine Mei with some expectation in his eyes.
Mei Fei was delighted and immediately knelt down to thank the emperor. "I am willing to do so. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at Concubine Mei and felt very satisfied.
Sure enough, women with children are different.
From then on, Concubine Mei began to gradually take over some affairs. She studied hard, worked hard, and soon gained the recognition of Emperor Rongsheng.
Concubine Zheng secretly gnashed her teeth. She had never expected that Concubine Mei would be favored by His Majesty and take away her power. But she remained kind on the surface, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.
