Princess [rebirth]

The Queen Mother took a trip to the Hall of Liangyi, but did not succeed in persuading Dou Chun to share the same hatred with her. On the contrary, it strengthened Dou Chun's determination to become a Queen, which the Queen Mother could never have imagined.She originally thought that she would take care of the two eldest princesses, Pingyang and Huyang, and then choose a pleasing daughter from a noble family in Kyoto to be the queen. The family is suppressed.

After the Queen Mother was released, she heard the gossip in the palace. When she knew that Zhuo Jingfan was living in the Lizheng Hall, she was almost annoyed and rushed directly to the Liangyi Hall to find Dou Chun's theory. Later, Aunt Wang persuaded her to stop Tell her not to go head-to-head with the saint as soon as she comes up, and she has to soften her attitude.

But the queen mother always thought that she was Dou Chun's biological mother, and now she had the most honorable status in the palace, so she wanted to "order" Dou Chun with a domineering tone and attitude, but she didn't expect that she would be used by Dou Chun. The words choked back, and Dou Chun actually pointed out that the people around her were tricky, which made the queen mother upset, so when the queen mother returned to Xingqing Palace, she immediately lost her temper and beat her to death several times. A maid.

Aunt Wang was a little chilled watching from the side, but she knew it was because the Queen Mother had changed her temperament. After the sage ascended the throne, the queen mother thought she could finally come out, but the sage imprisoned her in the Xingqing Palace again, and she was imprisoned for more than a year. She was supposed to be the mother of a country, but instead Being locked up in a dark palace, with no one to talk to except the maids around her, how could the Queen Mother not resent her?

Coupled with the fact that Aunt Wang always said specious provocations in her ears, the Queen Mother's anger naturally grew more and more, but Aunt Wang never thought that the Queen Mother would become so cruel and violent, even her persuasion was not enough. I can hear it.Moreover, Aunt Wang also found out that since the queen mother went to the Hall of Liangyi, her gaze became very strange. Several times she saw the queen mother look at her with inquiring eyes, which made her heart skip a beat. .

She guessed in her heart, could it be that the saint said something to the queen mother?But she felt that she was very careful and never showed her feet. Besides, she was the empress dowager's nanny. If the saint had doubts about her, wouldn't it mean that the saint began to doubt the Fu family?Aunt Wang pondered in her heart, she couldn't help but want to ask the Queen Mother a few times, but she was afraid that she would startle the snake if she was overwhelmed.

The Empress Dowager didn't know Aunt Wang's thinking, although she spoke righteously in front of Dou Chun, but when she saw Aunt Wang after returning to the palace, she couldn't avoid doubts in her heart. Even if you look suspicious at everything, and when the seeds germinate and break out of the ground in the future, it will be useless to clarify.Aunt Wang worried too much, so she missed the best time to dispel the Queen Mother's suspicion. When she realized that her position in the Queen Mother's heart had plummeted, it was too late. ...

Although the Queen Mother's mind is not very good, she still knows how to distract Aunt Wang when she summons Mrs. Fu in for questioning. It was only at this time that Aunt Wang knew that the Queen Mother was really suspicious of her.After the Queen Mother saw Mrs. Fu, she began to inquire about Aunt Wang's background.Although Mrs. Fu didn't know why the queen mother asked about Aunt Wang's past, she still told what she knew.

"Mother, I'm already an empty shell queen mother. Could it be that the Fu family is willing to continue to be suppressed by saints? Fu Jue's talents and abilities are obviously the best among his generation, but he has to stay away because of the princess. Chaotang, brother, are you willing?" The Empress Dowager waved away all the palace people, holding Mrs. Fu's hand, with a look of heart and soul for the Fu family.

"What if you are not willing? Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Fu Jue's ability to honor the princess is the grace bestowed by the saint to the Fu family. The Fu family will naturally be happy. Then, empress, the minister knows that you are suffering, but the saint is Your dependence, don't say such things in the future." Mrs. Fu saw her daughter's haggard and thin face, and she felt sore in her heart, but the husband explained before his death that although the Fu family is the queen mother's natal family, it is more It's the saint's mother's family. In the future, the Fu family will only look at the saint and don't have too much contact with the queen mother.

"The sage is my reliance? Hehe, everyone only sees the hypocrisy of the sage, but they don't know that the sage has already hardened his wings. He doesn't pay attention to me at all. If he says house arrest, he will be under house arrest. You say, I am the queen mother. What's the point?" The Queen Mother sneered, raising the corners of her lips, and said in an astonishing way.

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Fu exclaimed in surprise. Even though everyone in the Fu family knew that there must be a mystery behind the Empress Dowager's "quiet rest", they just knew it and wouldn't say it so blatantly. come out.

"He can do it, so is he still afraid of me saying it?!" The Queen Mother said with raised eyebrows, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the saint in her heart.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing her stubborn daughter, Mrs. Fu felt really regretful in her heart. If she hadn't married her to the late emperor, she wouldn't have been trapped in this deep palace and had been tempered into such a cynical temper.

"Mother, just answer me, do the Fu family want to stand behind me, or continue to let the saint grind them down without ambition?" The queen mother lowered her eyebrows and asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, your arms can't twist your thighs. Besides, you are connected by the blood of a saint. Why do you have such a trouble? Besides, it is not good for you if you have a relationship with a saint. That is a saint..." Mrs. Fu did not expect that the Queen Mother The purpose of asking her to enter the palace is to persuade the Fu family to support the queen mother through her.

"Mother, just take my words with you. You are a woman in a deep house, how do you know these things about the previous court?" The Queen Mother interrupted Mrs. Fu's words politely.

Mrs. Fu was so choked by the queen mother, her face was not good-looking, "Is my wife a woman in a deep house? Madam, if you say something to your heart, how are you better than your wife? You can't even control the palace affairs, and you were bullied by a few concubines. If it weren't for the late emperor who cared about the Fu family, your position as empress would have been unstable long ago, and after the sage ascended the throne, you were resting in Xingqing Palace , I'm afraid I don't understand the saint's behavior at all."

"Bold!" The queen mother's bloody wound was uncovered by her own mother, which made her complexion distorted, and she was trembling with anger, "Okay... yes... really good! What a Fu family! It turns out That's how you see me!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, my wife is just telling the truth. Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is in a high position. I am afraid that no one around you would dare to speak out to your Majesty. My Majesty is risking her old life today to let you see the situation clearly. " Mrs. Fu stood up with a dull face, bent her legs and knelt down to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother's heart trembled, seeing the gray-haired old mother kneeling to her, she felt really uncomfortable, but her mother's words just now really made her face down, making her unable to put on a gentle face for a while, she could only do it. Baba said: "Mom, what are you doing? Let's talk when you have something to say."

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I know that my words are meaningless, but I have to say these words. The most worrying thing about my husband before he dies is Your Majesty. Today, for my husband's last wish, I can't let Your Majesty do anything. Put the Fu family in danger." Mrs. Fu bent her body, knelt in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a solemn tone.

The Empress Dowager was unable to utter any more words after being kneeled by Mrs. Fu, so she could only stop the topic resentfully, called the maidservants in, and asked them to help Mrs. Fu get up, and then she was exhausted with excuses. That's it, send Mrs. Fu out of the palace.

After Mrs. Fu returned to the mansion, everyone in the mansion wanted to inquire about the news, but the old lady only left Fu Dalang behind, and sent someone to the Princess Mansion to deliver a message to the son-in-law. In Taifu's study before his death, they had a long time of secret talks.

Fu Dalang's wife was left aside, and she felt uncomfortable, but compared to the other Fu family, at least the A family still valued her husband and son, so she felt a little more balanced.

The current pillar of the Fu family is Fu Dalang. As Fu Taifu's eldest son, Fu Dalang's own talents are not bad, but compared with his son Fu Jue, he lacks a little aura and cleverness. Okay, if you want to revive the Fu family, I'm afraid you have to rely on Fu Jue.

Fu Dalang's nature is honest and straightforward, and he doesn't mind his father's attention to his son. Instead, according to what his father said, no matter how big or small the family is, he will discuss with his son.Therefore, today's mother was called into the palace, and Fu Dalang had already sent a message to Fu Jue. After Mrs. Fu came back, the father and son locked themselves in the study with the old lady, and carefully asked about everything in the palace.

Only Fu Dalang was willing to listen to the Taifu's arrangement, but there were other people in the Fu family who had other thoughts. When the Taifu was alive, the other Fu family naturally followed the Taifu's lead. After the Taifu left, some people wanted to take the lead Suppress Fu Dalang's family.

Taifu Fu also has a brother. Although he doesn't live with Taifu's family, the house is not far away, and the two families usually move around frequently. Besides Fu Dalang and Fu Yanjing, Taifu Fu also has two sons and a daughter. The youngest daughter married to Jiangling a few years ago and has not returned to Kyoto for many years. The other two sons are also officials in the court, but their official positions are lower than Dalang's.

Among Fu Taifu's three sons and two daughters, only Fu Dalang and his two daughters are descendants of concubines, while the other two sons are descendants of concubines, so there has not been much harmony among the three brothers since childhood. brother.Fu Dalang's two younger brothers are better educated than him, but because of their temperament, they have been suppressed by Fu Taifu. Even after entering the court and becoming an official, they are still struggling at the bottom.

Therefore, the two of them always believed that Fu Taifu was eccentric and only promoted his elder brother, who was the son-in-law, which made the two of them have been harboring resentment in their hearts. After the three of them got married, the contradictions gradually intensified, and the sister-in-law also got along well. No, the daughter-in-laws of the two younger brothers hold a group against the eldest sister-in-law, but because of the presence of the Taifu and the old lady, they dare not make too much noise.It's just that the three families have been at odds for a long time, and they can't be settled in a short while.

Now that the Taifu is gone, Erlang and Sanlang's two families start to move around. They feel that the future of Dalang's family has been cut off, and the prosperity of the Fu family will depend on their son in the future, so they stand upright and don't take Dalang The whole family pays attention to it.

Unexpectedly, the old lady only brought Dalang's daughter-in-law with her when she entered the palace. The other two daughters-in-law felt dissatisfied, but they didn't want to make a fuss in front of A's family directly, so they took the maid to the sister-in-law's yard to inquire about the palace. news from here.Mrs. Fu knew the reason for their visit, but she didn't say anything. After she asked the maid to serve tea, she tried her best to block the questioning of the two uncles and daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Fu comes from an aristocratic family in Kyoto, and her family is also a scholarly family. She is a good match for the Qingliu family of the Fu family. Before she left the court, she was the eldest daughter of the family. Since Erlang and Sanlang were concubines, the wives they married were naturally concubines, so the wives of Erlang and Sanlang always felt a little bit embarrassed in front of Mrs. Fu.

When the second and third wives were facing their daughter-in-law, they always felt a little bit less confident. In the past, Fu Taifu was still there, and Fu Jue's future was even more promising, which made Erlang and Sanlang's families dare not make any changes.But after Fu Jue became the princess, and after the Tai Tuo left, the two wives felt elated. After all, the Tai Tuo's most promising grandson had already cut off his future. In the future, Fu Dalang's family might have to rely on the younger brother and his family instead, so The two ladies thought that Mrs. Fu should bow her head in front of them.

But they didn't know until they met Mrs. Fu that Mrs. Fu was still acting like a sister-in-law, which made both of them feel guilty, and seeing Mrs. Fu's demeanor really made them feel ashamed. Not long after sitting in Mrs. Fu's courtyard, she retreated with her maid in a desperate manner.

After the two of them left, Madam Fu's expression remained unchanged, she just said to the maid serving beside her, "I will give you this set of tea sets, and I will give you the leftover tea leaves."

The maidservants beside her were beaming and thanked Mrs. Fu repeatedly. Mrs. Fu waved her hand and said in a warm voice, "Go down, you don't need to cause me a headache. I know you are happy with the reward, so I won't stick to you. "The maids were winking, knowing that Mrs. Fu was going to dismiss them, so everyone blessed Fu's body and quietly left the upper room.After a while, there were only Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Feng left in the room. Mrs. Feng was Mrs. Fu's nanny, and married Mrs. Fu to the Fu family, so she became Mrs. Fu's mother in charge.

"Mom, what do you think the Empress Dowager will say to the A family?" Mrs. Fu sat on the soft couch leaning on the pillow and asked in a low voice.

"This old slave doesn't know. Madam, don't worry too much. It won't be too late to ask Alang when Alang comes back." Mother Feng said.

"You don't know, that day I followed the A's family into the palace to see the empress, and the empress became... I don't know what to say, just the four beautiful maidservants in the backyard made my heart shudder. It's too tight." Mrs. Fu raised her hand, and lightly patted her left heart.

"Madam, why should you care about that lowly maidservant? Although the empress dowager rewarded him, didn't the empress say that she was only here to serve the Lord and the princess? The madam just pretended not to understand the empress's intentions, and she really treated them as rough envoys." That's it for the servant girl." Mother Feng curled her lips, she couldn't get used to the four charming girls in the backyard.

"I'm always not at ease. You said that Jue'er has such a hard life. He has made great achievements and his future is promising. An imperial decree ruined Jue'er's future. As long as I think about it, I really... ..." Madam Fu lowered her volume, her voice choked up at the end, and she couldn't continue speaking.

Mama Feng moved her lips, but she didn't dare to speak. Madam Fu let off steam for a while, and then she calmed down. Mama Feng quickly wrung a clean veil to clean Madam Fu's face.

"Actually, if I'm not afraid of offending the saint and the princess, I'd like to send those four beautiful maidservants to the princess' mansion." After a moment of silence, Madam Fu said softly.

"Ma'am, don't do it, haven't you heard that some time ago, Princess Pingyang was also rewarded by the queen mother, but Princess Pingyang killed her without saying a word, and turned the concubine's family upside down. What?" Mother Feng was taken aback, and quickly persuaded her softly.

"It's a pity that my son not only has no future, but he can only live with a princess in the future. Everyone else is a beautiful wife and wife, so my son will have to live a miserable life." Mrs. Fu held a handkerchief and kept pressing it. corner of eye.

Mother Feng's heart jumped again, and she hurriedly said: "My dear wife, you can't say this anymore, if it is heard by others and passed into the ears of the sage, the sage will only think that we have the heart to give to the son-in-law. What about the Cypriots?"

Mrs. Fu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she dismissed all the maids serving in the room, and left her nanny alone to talk about herself. At this time, she listened to the nanny's dissuasion, and her heart became more and more depressed, "The others only I said I married well, but who knows that Fu Lang's two younger brothers are not easy to get along with, now that Aunt is gone, just wait and see, the two families will not stop until there is some dispute. "

"There's an old lady on top of Madam, let them make trouble, and the old lady will come forward to discipline them." Mama Feng said softly. From Mama Feng's point of view, the Second Madam and the Third Madam are really not a threat, after all Fu The old lady is still there, so how can she let them turn upside down.

"Mom, how long can the family hold on if you say something bad? Weng has gone, and the family has reached the age. I'm afraid it won't be long before the family will be torn apart." Madam Fu said softly. His heart trembled, knowing that Mrs. Fu was referring to the old lady, the Fu family would definitely separate. ...

The conversation between Madam Fu and Mama Feng is naturally unknown to anyone else, and at this time in Princess Huyang's princess mansion, Fu Jue and Fourth Princess Dou Wan are sitting face to face. There was a sense of solemnity, and no one wanted to speak first.

After a long time, Fu Jue sighed, "Princess, it's up to you to talk about it."

"The son-in-law's words are wrong. This is a matter of the Fu family. How can I ask the princess to say it?" Dou Wan said angrily, and glanced at the secret report on the case, her face was full of displeasure.

"The princess is also from Fu's family now, why can't you tell?" With a faint smile on the corner of Fu Jue's mouth, he stretched out his hand and pushed the secret report to Dou Wan.

"Fu Jue! This is obviously not my business. Do you want me to bear the burden for you for the crimes committed by your Fu family?" Dou Wan was impatient, and couldn't help but speak indiscriminately for a while.

Fu Jue's expression froze, and then he smiled wryly, "The princess misunderstood me, but this matter is of great importance, and it involves the Fu family, so I have to avoid suspicion, so I want the princess to come forward for me and explain to the saint some."

"You also said just now that I have also become a member of the Fu family, won't I be suspicious if I come forward as a saint?" Dou Wan's attitude softened a lot because she regretted her indiscriminate words just now.

"Why you and I were accused of getting married, you must have some idea in your heart. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The saint wants to reuse me, but he can't show it clearly. He has to use you as a shield. The reason why the saint The selection of you must have been the result of the sage's many considerations, because you are the daughter-in-law chosen by the sage himself, if the sage doesn't believe me, he has to trust you." Fu Jue stared at Dou Wan, and said slowly.

"What you said makes sense, but now the Fu family is involved in a major event involving the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the Fu family dared to put people around the queen mother. These two points alone can make the Fu family be punished by the nine clans. It's me or you, I'm afraid it's not suitable to mention this to a saint." Fu Jue made Dou Wan blush, but she still calmed down and said.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Fu Jue also knew Dou Wan's concerns, and he had already considered them.

"I think there is only one person who can help us now." Dou Wan pursed her lips and said in a low voice.

"...Mr. Zhuo Lang?" Fu Jue's reaction was also quick. After hearing this, he quickly filtered the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in his mind. After finding that there was no suitable candidate, he set his sights on the harem.

"Well, you must have heard that when the sage was still the crown prince, he only favored the crown princess. After he ascended the throne, he used filial piety as an excuse to reject the election, and let the lord live in the Lizheng Hall. All kinds of things All the signs show that Mr. Lang is deeply favored by saints." Dou Wan nodded and said calmly.

"In this case, I will trouble the princess to go." Fu Jue said in a low voice, with guilt in his tone.

"Forget it, this matter has to be resolved, and it's useless to push back. I'll go to the palace tomorrow to ask to see Mr. Lang, but I can't guarantee that Mr. Lang will take over this hot potato." Dou Wan sighed helplessly. ...

The next day, Zhuo Jingfan in the Lizheng Palace heard about Dou Wan's request for an audience. As the eldest princess, although Dou Wan had already left the palace to open the palace, if she wanted to enter the palace, she could just pass the message to Zhuo Jingfan. Wan's biological mother was in Yong'an Palace, so neither he nor Dou Chun could prevent the eldest princess from visiting her concubine.

Zhuo Jingfan didn't expect that after entering the palace, Dou Wan didn't go to Yong'an Palace, but came to Lizheng Palace to ask to see him.

Zhuo Jingfan was curious about Dou Wan's reason for coming, so he agreed to her request to see her. After seeing Zhuo Jingfan, Dou Wan didn't talk nonsense, but said that he had something important to report to the lord, and asked the lord to back off.Zhuo Jingfan saw her so cautious appearance, his heart sank, and he waved away the palace servants who were waiting in the hall.

When only he and Dou Wan were left in the hall, Dou Wan got up and knelt down in front of him, and said in a panicked tone: "My lord, I have something important to report to the sage when I enter the palace today. Da, I also ask your lord to convey it on your behalf."

"What do you have to report?" Zhuo Jingfan frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Lang Jun, please have a look." Dou Wan lowered her head, took out a secret report from her bosom, put it on her hands and raised it above her head respectfully, then walked forward on her knees, and presented the secret report in front of Zhuo Jingfan.

Zhuo Jingfan took the secret report, opened it, and after a while, slapped the secret report on the table next to him, "The Fu family is so bold?! Dou Wan, do you know that if this matter is heard by the heavens, the Fu family will die. "

Dou Wan's heart trembled, and she said with trembling lips: "Mr. Lang, my concubine and son-in-law were also frightened when they heard about this matter. I never imagined that there would be such a wolf-minded and ambitious person in the Fu family, but this matter is very important. How could the concubine and son-in-law conceal it for the sake of the Fu family?"

"It's good that you can think so, and it's not in vain for the saint to send you to Fu's house. Get up." Zhuo Jingfan said in a gentle voice to Dou Wan, who raised his eyes and glanced at him, not sure What is the other party thinking.

"You tell Fu Jue after you go back, I know about this matter, you and him don't have to worry, just let him do things for the saint with all his heart, but you should remember not to tell others about this matter." Zhuo Jingfan said with deep meaning Looking at Dou Wan intently, Dou Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she answered in a low voice with panic on her face.

After Dou Wan left, Zhuo Jingfan took the secret report and went to the study of Liangyi Hall.

As soon as he entered the study, he waved Lu Fu and the others away, then stepped forward quickly, and handed the secret report to Dou Chun. Dou Chun took the secret report and opened it, and then his face darkened.

"It seems that Mu Xuan's identity is really suspicious." After reading it, Dou Chun put the secret report aside.

"Don't Master Fu know the actions of his brother's family?" Zhuo Jingfan asked suspiciously.

"Maybe I know it, otherwise why did you give the eldest daughter to the father? It must be to express your opinion to the father, and also want to get rid of the relationship with the second child of the Fu family after the incident." Dou Chun pondered. .

"Did the second son of the Fu family eat the guts of a bear?! He dared to get involved with the remnants of the previous dynasty. Fu Taifu's first generation of wisdom will be ruined by his brothers!" Zhuo Jingfan said coldly with a condensed tone. .
