Father-in-law is hanging up

Chapter 13: Taking the Throne

One day is enough for many things to happen. The dancer was tortured by cooking; Ge Wanxiao fell into a coma; Liu Rufeng became the imperial guard;

A few days later, when Ge Wanxiao received the news, he had to get up from the sick bed and rush to the side hall where Jiang Nanny lived. He saw that in the harem, except for the new concubine with the highest rank of empress, she was kneeling on the ground to help Nanny Jiang wash her feet. Strange.

The old man had gone crazy long ago, his ugly and deformed little feet were always disobedient, and they deliberately kicked in the water, and the feet-washing water splashed on the elegant and refined head and face of the imperial concubine, like a white lotus polluted by muddy water.

She turned her head and saw Ge Wanxiao, tears streaming down her face: "It really is you."

Can this old lunatic, Mother Jiang, speak for her?Won't.

All she did was to show people who might come.Regardless of whether it was Ge Wanxiao or Zhao Sheng who came, they were soft-hearted and more persuasive than Zhang Huang.

The chief eunuch walked up to Nanny Jiang who was devoted to playing with a puppet doll, and took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose. After a few breaths, the old man collapsed on the chair and passed out.

Then, he bowed respectfully to the imperial concubine: "Ge Wanxiao sees the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine's temples were scratched, she changed into a light bunt, rolled up her sleeves to reveal the bruises on her jade arms, she threw the handkerchief into the basin uncomfortably, stood up and put down her sleeves, wiped Wiping the water on his face, he said, "I made you laugh."

The eunuch hadn't figured out what to do, so he simply turned on the system and hung up, helped her tidy up without saying a word, and even fetched water from the well to help her wipe her face with a clean towel and reapply her makeup.

The noble concubine watched his series of actions with a calm face, but Ge Wanxiao could see that her favorability for him had increased by three points: "If the emperor knows, this palace will be in trouble again."

The eunuch turned a deaf ear.

Although Jiang Nanny was crazy, she was the emperor's wet nurse after all, and the things in the room were very complete. He actually found a few brocade clothes in the suitcase, but the color was too old. .

"Did you serve the emperor like this back then?" The imperial concubine caressed the brown-red flower on her temples, "It's a pity that you will be disappointed. This palace is someone who will die at any time. You made a bet on the wrong person." .”

Ge Hunxiao put everything to rest, stood behind the imperial concubine, looked at the haggard woman in the mirror who still did not hide her beauty, and said, "If you can guarantee winning or losing, it's not called betting."

The imperial concubine was just laughing at herself, but she didn't expect that he really meant it, she almost crushed the flower with a tight hand, she turned her head and said anxiously: "I only have one son, Song'er, father-in-law, would you like to help?"

"The second prince can't do it." The eunuch shook his head and said, "He is too ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth. It is true that several princes are not outstanding now, but the emperor does not necessarily have to stand out. The second prince himself can't understand this. Thickness invites disaster."

The noble concubine frowned, but did not retort: ​​"What does the father-in-law mean?"

"There is no man in the royal family behind the third prince. The fifth prince was born to the cook, or you can wait for the harem to have another one. With your protection, the second prince can live a good life even if he is not the emperor."

The imperial concubine hesitated for a moment: "Firstly, the third prince has already recognized him, and secondly, the situation in this palace is not much better than that of the third prince's mother and concubine. I'm afraid the Wang family will not like it."

Some time ago, it was rumored in the harem that Ge Wanxiao and Wang Jieyu had formed an alliance, and he specifically suggested that there must be a reason for the nine-year-old third prince.

The eunuch lowered his head deeply: "The third prince is the most stupid. You are the person sent by the late emperor to the emperor. If you can contact the former emperor's old department, who in the harem can compare with you?"

The imperial concubine was shocked, and said angrily: "The emperor's most tabooed palace has someone who has a relationship with the late emperor, is this father-in-law trying to murder this palace!"

On a deeper level, Ge Hunxiao faintly hinted that he would listen to the government behind the curtain, and he didn't even dare to say it.

Ge Hunxiao sighed and said: "The emperor hated being looked down upon most in his life. The late emperor regarded him as a blemish, so he regarded the late emperor as an enemy. When the empress married your majesty, didn't she also have the idea that he could not be the emperor anyway? From the emperor's point of view , This is also despised. But today, if you take advantage of the late emperor's power, it is your own ability, and it is impossible for him to have no such tolerance."

In other words, from the moment he killed the first emperor, Zhang Huang never cared about power and status.

The imperial concubine pursed her pink lips, and looked at the eunuch's hand on her shoulder in the mirror: "Eunuch is really determined to end?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood me, and I didn't end. Today, my mother and I said so much just to give an idea. I have a lot of capital, so I bet at will. It's good to win the money, and there is no loss if I lose."

Everything has to be chosen by the concubine herself.If she couldn't let go of the mother-child relationship, she could drown in the second prince's boat.

"Your father-in-law won't bet on others, right? You really don't want anything if you stop talking like this?"

"Of course only the empress is in custody." Ge Wanxiao thought for a while, then smiled, "If the empress insists on paying back Ge, she can help the emperor share his worries, and don't let those veterans be too rampant."

The emperor can have no political power in his hands, but he must not have military power.From Ge Wanxiao's point of view, Zhang Huang favored those veterans too much, which caused the newcomers to be unable to take the position, and the veterans were favored and arrogant, which was the biggest unstable factor in the dynasty.It is clear that the border has been flattened, there are not many bandits, and the number of soldiers on the record is still increasing every year. If there is a large-scale emptiness, what do those generals think of the emperor's prestige?If it weren't for the empty salary, with so many troops, would they want to rebel?

When the imperial concubine heard the words, she fixedly looked at Ge Wanxiao's always indifferent face for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "So you are not a saint either."

"I never said I was a saint."

"The emperor is not planning to establish an heir at all, is he?"

Ge Hunxiao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't hang up the phone, and his face could not help showing clues.

"So that's how it is." The noble concubine only sighed softly when she heard the words, "It turns out... what we are fighting for is nothing but fantasy."

Her heart was broken once when she heard that Zhang Song was established as the prince, and she was already calm.

"My father-in-law's words, I will think about it carefully."

The old sick ghost still had a lot to say, but seeing the gentle but alienated smile on the imperial concubine's face again, he understood that this woman only needs someone to point out the key points for her, and she is smarter than him for the rest hundred times.

Maybe there really is something called destiny in this world, no matter how willful Zhang Wang is, the people who stay by his side in the end are all great talents.

Fatty Chen manages the harem like his own vegetable garden, and every insect can't escape his eyes no matter how crawling; although Zhao Sheng, the supervisor of ceremonies, is always confused, he can devote himself to government affairs, and cooperates with the prime minister tacitly The affairs of the whole country; as for the noble concubine... as a harem woman, she was able to connect with the army. Even when Zhang Huang mentioned it to Ge Wanxiao as a joke, he faintly admired it.

In the end, Ge Wanxiao, although he talked all day long about eating and waiting to die, he could always convey Zhang Huang's thoughts to the right people at the right time.

……

Mother Jiang lived far away, and the old sick ghost still had an appointment with the emperor at night, so it couldn't be too late.He wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was so hot in the afternoon that his clothes were wet behind him. Seeing that there was still half the distance, he rested for a while in the shade under the wall.

The clothes of the eunuchs in the palace are all standard, and the palace they belong to can be seen from the shoes. The eunuchs and maids passing by have to stop to salute Ge Wanxiao.

"Eunuch Ge is auspicious."

Ge Hunxiao raised her eyes, and saw that she was a delicate and timid little palace maid. The clothes on her body were not like those in the palace. She was probably a dowry maid brought from home by a new concubine who entered the palace this year.

"My servant just brought some sour plum soup from the imperial dining room, may I ask if you need it?"

"Eunuch Ge can't bear the little things. Which palace are you from? Ge has forgotten this kindness."

He really wanted to drink, but the status of the new concubines in the palace was not high, and each person had a monthly ice quota, and it was not that there were no ice in his palace, so there was no need to be so pitiful.

The little palace maid hurriedly bowed and said, "My servant, Chen Xiang, is the dowry maid of Qiu Meiren in Yingli Garden."

"Qiu Yue?" The eunuch's eyes moved, and he said angrily on purpose, "Your master doesn't like me, you flatterer, you're flattering me."

Chen Xiang was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Eunuch misunderstood, Eunuch misunderstood! My young master just entered the palace, if there is anything not thoughtful, the young master will definitely regret it in retrospect, and please don't remember the villain's mistakes." , don't bother with her."

At the beginning, Qiu Yue was pregnant before she was married, and all the maids who served with her were sold by Qiu Lie. This Chen Xiang came to serve Qiu Yue later, and she knew nothing about the relationship between her young lady and Ge Wanxiao.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Ge Wanxiao's anger subsided a little, and he said coldly: "Go and tell your master that her life was picked up, please cherish it, and don't spoil it yourself. If she..." He paused, seeing no one around, lowered his voice, "If you want to leave the palace, don't come to me again, just wait."

After finishing speaking, he didn't rest, and walked straight back to Fushou Palace.

Ge Hunxiao wanted to send Qiu Yue out of the palace for a long time, but Zhang Huang followed him closely, and Han Wei betrayed him again, so there was no chance.Now I just hope that Qiu Yue'an will live a little better, and it's best for the emperor to forget about her. After a while, when Zhang Huang's attention is not on her, Ge Wanxiao will secretly send her out again.

Before the eunuch entered the gate of Fushou Palace, he saw a few servants from Fengtian Palace waiting outside, Ge Wanxiao frowned and asked, "The emperor is here?"

Fatty Chen deliberately left an apprentice waiting for him at the door, and at this moment he came up to him and said in a low voice: "The emperor is in a good mood today. The second prince's appointment as the crown prince has been confirmed, and he will wait for the supervisor of Yinshou to send the crown prince's golden seal to the noble concubine's palace." .”

"Then what is he doing here?"

"The emperor is in a good mood, so I think of you."

Ge Hunxiao always felt awkward in his heart, so he pushed the door open, and saw Zhang Huang with his feet on the desk, holding his medicine pestle in his arms and fiddling with it.

The old sick ghost's heart tightened, and he raised his voice: "Your Majesty, please be careful, there are tickling medicines in it."

Zhang Huang hurriedly threw the pestle far away: "Why do you have nothing to do with this thing! You smashed half of it and didn't clean it up, did you intend to harm others?"

He wished he could be ten feet away from the medicine pestle but didn't want to show his timidity, it was exactly the same as when he was a child.

Ge Hunxiao walked over nonchalantly and stuffed the pestle filled with aphrodisiacs into the cabinet, and said with a smile, "I knew someone would come to my place and he would definitely have to play with the pestle. I prepared it in advance so that it would be easier to search for the pestle after using it." The medicine jar, after searching the medicine jar and pinching the pills, I ruined my whole house again."

"You're talking nonsense!" The emperor's mood really got better, he didn't bother with the medicine pestle anymore, and feigned anger, "You've always been mysterious, if I ask you, you'll enjoy your old age in peace, do you still want to give me medicine?! "

"The emperor forgives the crime."
