His Majesty once married me

"Come here in such a hurry, but for the one in the summer palace?" When Concubine Lu arrived, Concubine Chen was still dressing up, and because the relationship between the two had always been close, she didn't let Concubine Lu wait outside, and directly invited people in. The sleeping hall.

"Ever since I knew that His Majesty was going to bring that one back, I've been panicking. I always felt that something was going to happen." Concubine Lu sat down on the couch beside her, stroked her chest, and said with a frown, "I heard that His temper and disposition are not very good, but His Majesty has been thinking about it for so many years, and he would rather let the world laugh at him than bring him into the palace... There must be some reason for this."

"I heard that that person's appearance is excellent." Concubine Chen looked at herself in the mirror and said with a half-smile.

Concubine Lu was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth, "Could it be that Your Majesty..."

"I was just joking, but you really took it seriously." Concubine Chen raised the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, "Don't even think about it, that man is about the same age as His Majesty, no matter how beautiful he was back then, he is still 30 now As long as a woman takes good care of herself, it is normal for a woman to be 30 years old as if she were 20 years old, but the difference between a man's 30 years old and 20 years old cannot be erased by changing clothes and shaving off his beard. I am only worried that our majesty expects more The higher the height, the greater the disappointment."

"That's true." Concubine Lu nodded half-understanding, but then frowned again, "No, I'm still very flustered."

"Alright." Concubine Chen raised her hand and waved the maid back, then turned her head and smiled at Concubine Lu, "If you want to say panic, it shouldn't be you and me. The most panic is over there!"

As she spoke, Concubine Chen pointed her finger to the west.

The person Concubine Chen was referring to was the Empress Wang who married into the palace just before the New Year, and the Empress Wang was indeed flustered at this moment, but the reason for her panic was somewhat different from what Concubine Chen and the others had expected.

According to the vision of Concubine Chen and others, the existence of the imperial husband not only embarrasses the title of empress, but also threatens her status and power to a considerable extent.It is a signal that Qi Yunheng has not handed over the Phoenix Seal to Queen Wang.Even if there is a difference between men and women, it is impossible for the emperor's husband to command the concubines like the queen, but commanding the concubines is originally the least important of the queen's many powers, but it is just a nice job with a glamorous job. The court lady's jurisdiction is much more important than this matter.

If Qi Yunheng really wants to hand over the actual control of the harem to the imperial husband, then the queen will inevitably become a decoration, not to mention a laughing stock in the harem, and it will also deal a serious blow to the family behind her—— It took a lot of effort for her own daughter to win the throne of the queen. If she couldn't give birth to a prince and couldn't touch the imperial power, how could the royal family be reconciled?

No matter from which angle you think about it, as long as Qi Yunheng is willing to give real power to the imperial husband, it is impossible for the empress to sit idly by and wait for death.

Concubine Chen's idea was not wrong, but what she didn't know was that Queen Wang and Ouyang were old acquaintances. Although there was a gap in age between the two, they had both been around the last emperor of the previous dynasty. have a fairly good understanding.

At that time, Emperor Xinghe took the children of the clan and ministers into the palace to raise them because he could not bear children. On the one hand, he wanted to relieve the pain of emptiness under his knees, and on the other hand, he wanted to seek auspiciousness and let these children be his harem. "Introduction" to offspring.Regardless of whether the parents of these children are willing or not, as long as they are still working as officials under the banner of Emperor Xinghe, they have to send their children to Emperor Xinghe as if they are flattered, so that they can make Emperor Xinghe happy.

This is how Queen Wang was sent to the palace.For quite a long time, she spent more time meeting and spending time with Ouyang than with her parents at home.Coupled with the fact that he was young at the time and was not so defensive, he quietly hid aside and saw many things that adults would not notice, and he also had a considerable understanding of the horror and ruthlessness of this guy Ouyang.

She was able to make up her mind to put aside the past and enter the palace under the expectation of her family because Ouyang and Qi Yunheng had separated and would no longer be a threat.However, not long after entering the palace, she learned that Qi Yunheng had made Ouyang his consort and would take him back to the capital soon.The reason why Qi Yunheng appointed her as the empress was to make the former ministers compromise and shut up, paving the way for Ouyang to return to Beijing.

Queen Wang suddenly panicked.

Fame, wealth, glory and wealth can only be enjoyed by living, and what that guy Ouyang is best at is killing people.There is still a chance to fight back after dormant with others, but if the target is replaced by Ouyang, there are only two results left-killed on the spot or eliminated that night.

At the beginning, there were not one or two people who thought that Ouyang was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to step on his position, but until Ouyang left the palace and disappeared in the capital, Queen Wang did not see anyone who succeeded.

Of course there is Emperor Xinghe's connivance and protection in this - as the queen recalled afterwards, Emperor Xinghe used Ouyang as a swordsman for a long time, but just by using it, he found that it was a double-edged sword. It's easy to hurt yourself while cutting others, so "married" Qi Yunheng to Ouyang, killing two birds with one stone, while destroying the foundation of Duke Wei's mansion, Ouyang was also pressed down.

It's just that Emperor Xinghe certainly didn't expect that his push would even overturn his own world.

Queen Wang thought about it, and always felt that Qi Yunheng did not bring Ouyang back, as some people in the Wang family thought, because he wanted to give the courtiers of the previous dynasty a hint that they would not remember their past vengeance.

After Qi Yunheng and Ouyang Baitang got married, Queen Wang saw these two people walking together more than once, and they didn't look like enemies who were forced together.One of them, Ouyang turned against Qi Yunheng because of a certain cronies around him who insulted Qi Yunheng in words and deeds.

Besides, one of these two has the army and contacts left by his father, and the other has money that he can't spend no matter how much he squanders, and the time when he left the capital is almost the same. .

In Queen Wang's view, even if these two were not serious couples, they were at least collaborating allies, and she, the queen who was forced in by the ministers halfway, was a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh no matter what angle she looked at.

Thinking that she was going to be an enemy with Ouyang, Queen Wang couldn't help shivering and shuddering.

—she hasn't lived enough!

Knowing that Ouyang had already entered the palace, Queen Wang's first thought was to hurry over to show her friendship, but as soon as she stood up, she realized that things were not what they used to be. She was no longer that humble little girl in Xinghe Emperor's Palace, but Hua The queen of the founding king rushed over with such fanfare, is that a gesture of goodwill?That's a demonstration!

Similarly, she can't beg for mercy from Ouyang in public.She is the queen of Emperor Kaiyuan, and she has a huge family behind her. Showing weakness in public will not only make her lose face, but also make the Wang family behind her a laughing stock.

You must find a suitable time to convey your kindness, neither early nor late.

Tonight, Qi Yunheng will most likely bring Ouyang to the banquet in the palace, and introduce him to everyone in the harem at that time.And no matter what, she had to reach a consensus with Ouyang before the dinner started, so as not to suffer innocent disasters at the banquet.

Queen Wang paced back and forth in her palace, finally made up her mind and called her confidant female officer over.

"Go to Eunuch Wei next to His Majesty, and tell him that I have something important to ask him for help, and ask him to come over as soon as possible."

"Yes." The female officer took the order and left.

Eunuch Wei's surname is Wei Mingyan, and he is the chief eunuch next to Qi Yunheng.

This man was originally Qi Yunheng's personal soldier like Gao Ming, but in a battle he injured the root of a man and lost the ability to carry on the family line.After the world was settled, Wei Yan asked himself to purify himself, entered the palace with Qi Yunheng, and became the chief eunuch.

But Queen Wang's female officer first went to the Taihua Palace where Qi Yunheng lived, and then went to the Summer Palace. After a long circle, she couldn't see Eunuch Wei in the end.

The eunuch who was pushed out to deal with her only excused that Eunuch Wei was busy with important matters and couldn't get away, but smiled and didn't say anything about his specific whereabouts.

The female official had no choice but to convey the meaning of Queen Wang to the eunuch, and went back to report alone.

What the female officials didn't know, and what the eunuchs didn't dare to say, was that Eunuch Wei was no longer in the palace at the moment. Long before Queen Wang sent someone over, Eunuch Wei accompanied Qi Yunheng and Ouyang to leave the summer palace and went to Ouyang Jingzhong mansion.

This mansion is the place where Ouyang and Qi Yunheng got married ten years ago.After Ouyang moved away, people kept staring at him, and he was not taken away during the war.When Qi Yunheng entered Beijing, he even ordered people to protect this place and strictly forbid others to set foot in it.

After returning to Beijing this time, Ouyang's niece Ou Jing, two concubines and most of the other subordinates lived here again, and only the housekeeper Zhuang and a dozen servants were brought into the palace.

Yesterday's New Year's Eve, Ouyang planned to go back home, but Qi Yunheng came too early and pestered him for a whole night, and the original plan came to nothing.But tonight there was a dinner party that he also wanted to attend, and it was obviously not possible to make the trip, so Ouyang greeted Qi Yunheng and wanted to go back home to see his niece during the day.

Ouyang originally planned to go back alone, but Qi Yunheng insisted on coming with him.

Since he was only going back to see his niece, and not a secret lover, Ouyang gave Qi Yunheng a glance and nodded in agreement.

But Qi Yunheng didn't really have nothing to do as he said. With the intention of going early and returning early, he set up the itinerary to go out of the palace and gathered people to leave the summer palace. Eunuch Wei was also on the list.

Empress Wang's female officer also rushed to nothing, and passed by Eunuch Wei.

On the way, Qi Yunheng casually mentioned, "If you really like that girl Jing'er, you might as well adopt her under my own name, so I can give her the title of princess."

"Can I become my daughter after adoption? Her biological parents are still alive and well!" Ouyang curled his lips, "Don't give anything to the princess, it's unnecessary. If I can protect her, she won't have the title of princess It can also run rampant in the world; if I can't protect her, then the title of the princess is a reminder. Besides, you even gave her a title, so how do you get rid of her parents and my relatives?"

"Almost forgot, this matter really needs to be discussed with you." Qi Yunheng said immediately, "According to the practice of the past dynasties, I will always give the queen's father the title of Enhou, but only reward her and not you. If you don’t, it’s easy to make the ministers in the court have some wrong thoughts.”

"So you want to get one for Uncle Qingyang?" Ouyang immediately understood what Qi Yunheng meant.

"If you agree, the title of Duke is not out of the question." Qi Yunheng said.

"If you dare to make him the Duke of the State, I will tell all the Ou family to go back to their hometown to observe their filial piety the next day, including myself." Ouyang snorted coldly and replied angrily.

Qi Yunheng spread his hands, "I also thought that the two families would not grant titles, but in this way, the Wang family will definitely not be reconciled, and those ministers in the court who are full and have nothing to do will inevitably mix in, endlessly Annoying."

"Why do people who have nothing to do keep them, drive them home to take care of their children!" Ouyang sneered.

"I am……"

"I know, that's what you said." Ouyang didn't let Qi Yunheng finish the sentence, "You can seal it up if you like, and give them any kindness to make them smug. If you have to use the Ou family to suppress the Wang family, then in In terms of rewards, make a fuss, favor one and favor the other."

"I don't really want to give the fief." Qi Yunheng tentatively said.

"If you don't want to give it, don't give it. Why do you ask me? It's you who gave it, not me." Ouyang rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I understand." Qi Yunheng embraced Ouyang with a smile, his tone full of indulgence.

Qi Yunheng is well aware of the fact that Ouyang and the Ou family have always had a relationship. In his early years, he felt sympathy for each other because of this.Now that time has passed, although the previous feelings have faded, but as the monarch of a country, he does not want to make his pillow and family too close.Wanting Ouyang to adopt Ou Jing is also out of a plan to cut off the last link between him and the Ou family.
