Jinyiwei factory flower base love story

Just as he was talking about the emperor, Yu Hanfei came over with the oracle and announced that Gu Huaiqing would accompany him to the Xuande Hall.

Before Gu Huaiqing left, he said to Duan Mingchen: "Ask Mr. Li to check the concubines' files in the palace, study them first, and I will report the progress of the case to His Majesty, and also ask him if he knows the inside story of Concubine Zhuang's crime."

Due to the new funeral of the Empress Dowager, everyone in the palace had to wear plain clothes, and Xiao Jing, as the emperor, was no exception.

Xiao Jing had just left the morning court, wearing a dragon robe embroidered with dragons on a plain white background, with a rather melancholy expression on his face. When he saw Gu Huaiqing, a gleam of joy appeared on his face. He pulled him to sit down in front of the desk, and said with a smile: "Recently There are so many things, I haven't seen Huaiqing for many days."

Gu Huaiqing said with a smile: "Your Majesty only summoned me the day before yesterday, and you don't even remember it? You really forget things."

Xiao Jing looked at Gu Huaiqing's face greedily, and said softly: "It's only been two days, but I feel that it's been a long time."

Gu Huaiqing knelt down in front of the emperor, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Your Majesty called me here because of the Empress Dowager's case, right? Duan Mingchen and I have made many investigations, and we have some clues, but there are still a few doubts, so The case cannot be closed at this time."

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "It sounds like the progress is going well. If there are any doubts, let me hear."

Gu Huaiqing glanced at Xiao Jing and said, "Does Your Majesty remember the late Emperor's concubine Zhuang?"

"Concubine Zhuang?" Xiao Jing frowned slightly, "I remember that she is a gentle and virtuous woman. The late Emperor once loved her very much and spent huge sums of money to rebuild Qionghua Palace for her."

"But the good times didn't last long. Not long after the Qionghua Palace was completed, Concubine Zhuang was thrown into the cold palace. At the time, she was pregnant and died in the cold palace not long after. One dead body and two lives." Gu Huaiqing paused, looking at With puzzled eyes, Xiao Jing continued to ask, "Does Your Majesty know why Concubine Zhuang was offended by the late Emperor, even disregarding that she was pregnant with a dragon seed, so that both mother and child died in the cold palace?"

Xiao Jing frowned, it was related to the old affairs of the past, it was still his father and favorite concubine, as a son it is not convenient to say.But couldn't help Gu Huaiqing's pleading eyes, Xiao Jing still told him what she had heard.

"Concubine Zhuang is the late emperor's concubine, and it has always been forbidden to talk about it in the palace. Although I was the crown prince at the time, it was inconvenient to inquire about it. I just heard it vaguely mentioned. Concubine Zhuang... seems to have an affair with a foreigner. The late emperor suspected She is not chaste, and she is not pregnant with her own child."

"What? How is this possible?" Gu Huaiqing's eyes widened in surprise.

How strict is the palace, the people who walk here are either eunuchs or women, it is impossible for real men to mix in!

Xiao Jing seemed to see Gu Huaiqing's doubts, and said: "It sounds incredible, but it was found out at the time that the eunuch serving by Concubine Zhuang's side was a real man, and the late Emperor was furious because of this, not only sent concubine Zhuang and the Liu family The family also executed all the palace servants serving Concubine Zhuang."

Gu Huaiqing was silent, the concubine had an affair with a foreigner, put a cuckold on the emperor, and even got pregnant with a wild child. This is definitely a scandal that cannot be publicized. Of course, the emperor must stop spreading it and silence all those who know it.

Gu Huaiqing asked: "Then who reported on Concubine Zhuang? Was it the Queen Mother?"

"This... I don't know." Xiao Jing paused, and couldn't help but said, "Why did Huaiqing ask Concubine Zhuang? Could it be that the death of the Empress Dowager has something to do with Concubine Zhuang? As far as I know, Concubine Zhuang All the clansmen were implicated, and all died on the way to exile, and the palace servants beside Concubine Zhuang were all killed. Who else would dare to murder the Empress Dowager? It is impossible for Concubine Zhuang's ghost to come back Revenge?"

Xiao Jing was joking, but Gu Huaiqing thought of the rumors about Qionghua Palace being haunted, and the mysterious shadow in red...

Based on Gu Huaiqing's impression of Concubine Zhuang, he doesn't really believe that Concubine Zhuang would commit adultery, not to mention the consequences of being found out. With Concubine Zhuang's intelligence, it is impossible to do such a mindless thing. A lowly thing.

Gu Huaiqing thought about what Liang Wan said, why did the Queen Mother curse Concubine Zhuang, since Concubine Zhuang had been dead for so many years?Although the queen mother was not clear-headed at that time, but because of this, what the queen mother said was the real fear deep in her heart.

Can a person avenge himself after death?That's a really good question...

Seeing Gu Huaiqing startled in a daze, Xiao Jing didn't feel it was funny, she waved her hand twice in front of his eyes and said, "I'm just joking, Huaiqing doesn't really think there are ghosts, does he?"

Gu Huaiqing came back to his senses, remembered Liang Wan's entrustment, and said: "The dead cannot be brought back to life, but the living will always miss something. Liang Wan wants to enter the palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother. I wonder if Your Majesty will agree?"

Xiao Jing really didn't have a good impression of the Liang family, he was troubled by making troubles in the court every day, but Liang Wan was just a weak woman, it didn't hurt to let her come into the palace to see the Queen Mother's body, so Xiao Jing Nodding in agreement.

Gu Huaiqing was secretly happy that Liang Wan entered the palace again, and she would have the opportunity to entice her to reveal the truth. Whether Concubine Zhuang's death was related to the Queen Mother still needed to get a breakthrough from her.

Seeing that Xiao Jing seemed to be in a good mood today, Gu Huaiqing chatted with him for a while, and brought up Concubine Li again: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li's father, Feng Bai, came to my house today, please let me say something nice for Concubine Li, so that his daughter Lift the ban as soon as possible, so that she will not fall out of favor."

Xiao Jing glanced at Gu Huaiqing with a half-smile: "Oh, how much money did Feng Bai give you?"

Gu Huaiqing pretended to be panic-stricken and said: "He gave me an envelope, I just kept it for the time being, I haven't opened it yet, I will naturally return it to him later. It's not because of the money, I just pity him for his love for his daughter." .”

Xiao Jing waved his hand and said: "It's okay, anyway, Feng's family is as rich as a country, and his sixth-rank official position was donated by spending 20 taels of silver. You can accept the gift he gave you, if it's too much, it's a big deal Give me half."

"Haha, how poor is Your Majesty?" Gu Huaiqing joked with a smile, "Since the Feng family is a wealthy family, Your Majesty might as well spoil Concubine Li more, because Feng Bai's love for his daughter is so eager to give away the Wanguan family property. Offer it to Your Majesty? Li Concubine is not ugly, and Your Majesty has nothing to lose."

In fact, Concubine Li is not only not ugly, she is also very beautiful and intelligent, she is much more pleasing than the domineering Concubine Ning, I don't know what Xiao Jing thinks.

When Xiao Jing heard this, the smile on his face became a little colder, and he said lightly: "Does Huaiqing even care about which woman I want to favor?"

Gu Huaiqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? You said back then that when you became the emperor, I would be the head of the palace and help you manage the palace. No joke, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Jing stared at Gu Huaiqing, and said with a leisurely smile: "Of course I will never forget, and Huaiqing will never forget what I said back then..."

"Of course I won't forget, that's why I boldly remonstrate!" Gu Huaiqing climbed up the pole, leaned over and said with a mysterious smile, "I think His Majesty seems to be a little displeased with Concubine Li, why? Could it be her ...was the service not good?"

If someone else dared to pry into the secrets of the emperor's palace, Xiao Jing would have killed him long ago, but for Gu Huaiqing, Xiao Jing seemed to have infinite patience and tolerance.

Xiao Jing thought about it seriously, and replied: "Actually, I can't say that I don't like Li Concubine. Li Concubine is gentle and well-behaved, well-educated, reasonable in advance and retreat, and beautiful and charming, but I can't see her through. Her impeccable smile is like a mask, and she doesn't give her heart."

After being told by Xiao Jing, Gu Huaiqing also understood that it was indeed as Xiao Jing said, that Concubine Li was not bad, but her performance was too perfect.Behind the impeccable face, it is hard to say how much affection she has for the emperor.

On the other hand, other concubines, although they were jealous and lied, like Concubine Ning, who was noisy for three days and five days, but her emotions were spread out like a piece of white paper, and she could read it clearly without guessing, unlike Concubine Li , The mind is hidden very deep, which is unpredictable.

Emperors like people who can be controlled, Xiao Jing is no exception, and he likes people with true temperament, so he treats Concubine Ning differently, but Concubine Li, who behaves perfectly everywhere, does not get his favor.

"So that's how it is..." Gu Huaiqing seemed to realize something.

Xiao Jing didn't see Gu Huaiqing for many days, so he pulled him to play chess with her, one game after another.

Gu Huaiqing was obsessed with the Empress Dowager's case, unable to concentrate, and his level was much worse than usual, and he was killed by Xiao Jing.Instead, Xiao Jing complained that he was not serious, and in the end Gu Huaiqing had to ask for forgiveness, and Xiao Jing let him go without further ado.

When Gu Huaiqing came out of the Xuande Hall, the sky was already dark. When Gu Huaiqing returned to Dongchang, Duan Mingchen went somewhere. A thick stack of files was spread out on the table. Gu Huaiqing looked through them. There is an introduction to the concubine's family background.

Gu Huaiqing's mind moved slightly, and he simply looked through it.First, I turned to Concubine Zhuang's file.On the yellowed picture scroll, a beautiful woman in palace costume held a fan and smiled lightly, her eyebrows were gentle and her temperament was dignified, exactly what Concubine Zhuang looked like in her memory.

Concubine Zhuang Liu Yuanzhen is from the capital city. Although her background is not prominent, she is also from a family of scholars from generation to generation. She is the youngest daughter of her family and has an older brother and two older sisters.His father was born as a fellow Jinshi, and once served as a doctor of the Water Division of the Ministry of Industry.

Gu Huaiqing continued to search and found the introduction of Concubine Li.

Concubine Li Feng Xiaoluan's life experience is much more interesting.She was born in Yangzhou. Although her father, Feng Bo, came from a commoner, he was a prodigy in business. He started his business as a shipping trader. He was a famous salt merchant in the Jianghuai area. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as rich and powerful.

Although Feng Bo is as rich as a country, he is an infatuated man.His first wife, Feng Xiaoluan's biological mother, died of illness shortly after giving birth to Feng Xiaoluan. Feng Bo missed his dead wife and never got married, and he didn't even take a concubine.

Feng Xiaoluan is Feng Bo's only daughter, and it is conceivable that she must be hurt like an eyeball. As the daughter of a merchant, although her status is not high, it is still easy for her to live a good life with the wealth of the Feng family.

However, in the year of Feng Xiaoluan and Ji, Feng Bai donated 20 taels of silver to the official, and then moved his family to the capital.Although Wailang, a member of the Ministry of War, is only a sixth-rank official with little real power, Feng Xiaoluan is eligible to enter the palace for draft because of his official status and his business status.

Combined with what Feng Bai said before, I am afraid that Feng Xiaoluan instructed his father to donate the official, so that he can be drafted into the palace.Since Feng Xiaoluan put so much effort into entering the palace, it stands to reason that she should be an ambitious woman who must do everything to win the emperor's favor after entering the palace, but from Xiao Jing's words, it can be seen that Feng Xiaoluan's treatment of the emperor is not the same Son.

After Feng Xiaoluan was grounded, she still looked at ease, as if she was not worried at all that she would fall out of favor.

"It's really strange..." Gu Huaiqing closed the file and said to himself.
