Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

There are also children from the second marriage. Under the words and deeds of adults, they are also disgusted with Cheng'en Palace. People say that the marriage between An Ran and others should be good in the future. They will say something like, "What's so great about a good marriage? Isn't it just good luck in reincarnation?" Is it in the Duke's Mansion? If my home was also the Duke's Mansion, my marriage would be very good." and so on.

Then he also cursed all the people in Cheng'en Palace to die so that they could get the title of Duke of the Kingdom - I guess the adults often preached this theory in front of their children, so the children also had the same idea.

In short, everyone in the second house is full of resentment towards Duke Cheng'en. If there is anyone in the world who hopes that all the people in the first house will die, it must be the second house, because if all the first house dies, they will get what they want. A title.

So... was it really the second room that did this?

An Ran was guessing in her mind.

But if it was really the second wife who did it, then how did they do it, kill everyone in the Chengen Palace, without revealing any traces, and finally pass the review of Dali Temple and the Queen Mother's sect?

An Ran, who couldn't figure it out for the moment, decided not to think about it for the time being, and planned to go to the palace to have a look when she had the chance.

The opportunity came quickly.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in a few days, and there will be a banquet in the palace. Some well-known families in Beijing can enter the palace to participate in the banquet.

As the Empress Dowager's natal family, Cheng'en Palace was naturally among those invited, so An Ran was also qualified to enter the palace.

An Ran was ready to take this opportunity and arrange the puppet into the palace, right next to the emperor.

She was thinking that the emperor also had the ability to kill people invisible. If his secret guards killed people, even if someone in the court saw it, they wouldn't say anything about it. Therefore, he was the most suspicious person in the palace.

Today, there are so many people in the palace, just like tourists visiting the Forbidden City in the real world. There are people everywhere. Sometimes when they meet people they know, they will greet each other and chat a few words. The palace is like a vegetable market, very lively.

Although the palace is always solemn, when a banquet is held, there will definitely be the sound of conversation, that is to say, it will definitely be lively, so the masters and masters in the palace will not say anything to spoil the fun.

At that moment, An Ran followed Mrs. Chengen and was led to the Queen Mother by the eunuch.

The Chen family is currently at its peak, so people greet them along the way, and the people they go to meet are people that ordinary people cannot see, such as the Queen Mother, the Emperor, etc.

Although the banquet has not started yet, the Queen Mother has already arrived at the palace near where the banquet is being held. After all, it will be too long to wait until it starts before coming from Cining Palace. You know, the palace is very big, and there are many gaps between the palaces. It was also far away, and it took a long time to walk by chariot. In order to prevent the banquet time and the arrival in a hurry, the Queen Mother arrived early. Of course, the main reason was to chat with some of the royal ladies and create a lively atmosphere.

When An Ran and others entered, there were already many wives sitting beside the Queen Mother, and there were also some widows of the late emperor like the Queen Mother - concubines.

Of course, those who can sit here are all reputable and have a good relationship with Queen Mother Chen. Otherwise, those with lower status are the concubines whose husbands have died, and they can only celebrate the festival in their own palaces at the moment.

Many of these people at the scene were known to me. After all, I often followed my mother into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, so I also knew many of the concubines in the palace. And the ladies around me, because of this, Mrs. Cheng'en often took her to play in various houses, so naturally she knew them all.

The better thing about this era is this. Although men are superior to women, at least women don't have to sit in the embroidered building, can't see people for the rest of their lives, and have some freedom of communication.

An Ran recognized that the person sitting not far from the Queen Mother's head was the noble concubine.

During the reign of the late Emperor, Concubine Gao was still very favored and gave birth to a son, who is now the King of Chu.

Although he was granted the title of King of Chu, in fact, the other party was only fourteen years old and had not yet reached the age of weak crown. If the late emperor was still there, he would probably still be living in the prince's residence in the palace.

But now that the late emperor has passed away, it is not suitable to live in the palace, so although he is only fourteen years old, King Chu also lives in his own prince's palace, but he only goes to the palace every day to pay respects to his biological mother.

The noble concubine saw that he was young and was afraid that if he left her and lived alone in the Prince's Mansion, the eunuchs and maids in the Prince's Mansion would lead him astray, so she sent someone to keep an eye on him and asked him to say hello morning and night, so that he would be spoiled. She knew his situation.

Because the other party is only fourteen years old now, when the emperor comes to the throne, he will naturally be even younger, and there is no talk of competing with the prince for the throne. Therefore, even if Concubine Gao was favored at the time and made a concubine, the conflict of interest is not big. The relationship with Empress Dowager Chen is also good, so after the new emperor ascends the throne, she will naturally still have her dignity. This is also the reason why the noble concubine is sitting not far from the head of Empress Dowager Chen at this moment. This position shows that She had a better relationship with Queen Mother Chen.

Of course, there is a deeper and more secret relationship - Concubine Gao intends to marry her son, King Chu, to Empress Dowager Chen's natal niece, who is also her original body.

The noble concubine would do this, naturally for the sake of her son and her natal family.

The son married the Queen Mother's niece and became associated with the Chen family. This is a good thing for the son and the mother's family. After all, the Chen family is in full swing right now. Being able to get together with the Chen family is a strong alliance, and the Chen family will He gave birth to a princess, and his family also had a relationship with the Chen family and the Queen Mother Chen, a win-win situation.

Concubine Gao Gui had already spoken out about this matter, and Empress Dowager Chen did not express any objection. If it hadn't been for a series of changes in Chengen's palace later, she would have married the King of Chu.

In the original world, King Chu later married a cousin of his maternal family.

Marrying her cousin, An Ran thought it meant being a noble concubine, because in this way, although her natal family was not as good as the Chen family, it would be good to have a princess.

And the reason why after telling the Queen Mother Chen that she wanted to marry the original person, and still allowing her son to marry someone else while the original person was still alive, and not being blamed by the Queen Mother Chen, is probably because the affairs in the Chengen Palace were too much. Strangely, the Queen Mother Chen understood the fear of the Queen Mother Gao Gui, so she gave her son and found another marriage.

When Cao Cao arrived, the cousin of the King of Chu came over.

The noble concubine's natal family was not a noble person, and her official position was low. Logically speaking, they would not be able to come to such an occasion. However, because of the noble concubine's relationship, she summoned them to the palace, so they still came.

It happened that King Chu was here at the moment, so An Ran paid close attention to the interaction between Miss Gao and King Chu, wanting to see if there was any affection between the two. If there was, An Ran would prevent the accident from happening by then. Nothing unexpected happened in the Cheng'en Palace. The noble concubine still kept her original idea and planned to ask the King of Chu to marry her. She planned to refuse because she didn't want to fight a mandarin duck and marry a man she really wanted to marry.
