The Wang family of the Red Chamber has a wife

"Cough cough—have you delivered the things for my son?" Concubine Chen Guifei leaned on the bed, smelling the strong smell of medicine in the room, she frowned, and called the maid Yuying who was standing next to her, her voice hoarse As if polished by rough sandpaper: "Open the window and get some styrax to smoke!"

Seeing her master coughing, Yuying opened the window according to her words, and said worriedly: "Don't worry, your highness, everything is fine there, why don't I pour you a glass of honey water to moisten your throat! If you give your throat to—— That would be bad!"

Concubine Chen Guifei shook her head and refused, and pulled up the thin quilt on the front, her eyes were full of exhaustion: "Since you are acting, you should just make it look like it, otherwise it would be bad for others to see it! Ladies in the palace, Everyone is human...you go!"

Yuying withdrew, Concubine Chen quietly watched the flower curtains hanging beside the bed in the color of lotus root and thousands of silks and herbs being blown and twisted by the morning breeze that slipped in from the window, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, with a trace of love across her face. Ruthless.Mrs. Zhen, you would never have imagined that your beloved son is so stupid!You were domineering and domineering in the palace back then, and you did not know how many young girls you were hurting. Now all of this will be revenged on your son. It really makes people applaud...

Walking slowly to Jinlin Palace, looking at this gorgeous but empty palace, Tu Gaocheng's eyes are full of complexities, he doesn't know what it feels like in his heart, he has already forgotten the pink and lovely little girl born more than ten years ago However, a woman's hatred can be accumulated for so many years, enough to make her sacrifice her life in exchange - he asked An Fu behind him: "How is Concubine Chen Guifei doing today?"

An Fu was very clear about the twists and turns between the two. Hearing this, he bowed down respectfully and reported: "Return to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor took the pulse today, and only said that he still needs to rest and rest, and don't work hard! Distribute it to the four concubines!"

Today, the four concubines in the palace are just after the death of Emperor Zhaoyi and Liang Guifei, Tu Gaocheng was promoted by Concubine Chen in order to silence the ministers. In fact, they are just empty titles. Unlucky for the harem, they have no love and no heirs, so they are naturally obedient and docile to Concubine Chen, who is headed by the sixth palace, and dare not disobey.

"Your Majesty is coming!" Concubine Chen Guifei was staring at a pot of azaleas in full bloom on the window sill, when she heard soft footsteps beside her ears, she turned her face and saw the bright yellow dragon robe, busy supporting herself He wanted to salute, but was stopped by Tu Gaocheng.

Seeing that Concubine Chen Guifei, who was pale, was visibly thinner, Tu Gaocheng shook his head: "Why are you doing this? It's just—"

Concubine Chen Guifei smiled lightly, the scholarly aura around her made her look not seriously ill, but rather graceful; she was dressed in a green silk gown with double breasted lotus root and a ruby ​​couplet on her head, plain white There were two jasper bracelets on Hao's wrist, and there was no decoration on the rest: "Your Majesty's sympathy, Min Yu knows it well, but it's all for big things, so what is it?"

Tu Gaocheng sighed and said nothing.

Concubine Chen Gui of Jinlin Palace is not favored, it is tacitly understood by everyone inside and outside the court, but only a few confidantes know that Tu Gaocheng has no feelings for Concubine Chen Gui.At that time, Concubine Chen Gui was the attendant of Princess Anping, and Princess Anping and Tu Gaocheng were siblings of the same mother. Princess Anping was in full bloom but unfortunately passed away. Several of her attendants also took good care of her.Later, Concubine Chen Gui entered the palace through a small election, and was appointed as the side concubine of Tu Gaocheng.

At first, Concubine Chen was really dissatisfied with the Crown Prince Zhengfei and Ming Shuihan, the daughter of Marquis of Zhenbei. Later, she lost her balance after giving birth and died early, leaving behind Tu Wenshen. But it was a world of difference, Concubine Chen was even more depressed.

However, although Concubine Chen Gui was ruthless and decisive, but Tu Wenfu was more refined and honest than shrewd and strategic, and Concubine Chen Gui had also seen through it in the past few years.She understands Tu Gaocheng's temper, and knows that he has never considered his son as an heir. As for his son, Tu Wenhu, if he hadn't been behind him to advise him, he might be under the hands of that little wolf cub, Tu Wenhuai. not long...

It is said that being a mother is strong, and this is true; Concubine Chen Guifei gave birth twice in her life, and there was a younger sister under Tu Wenfu who died in the harem struggle when she was less than three years old. Wenfu was even more worried; when she found out that Tu Gaocheng was secretly teaching Tu Wenchang after the prince was imprisoned, she woke up in a fright, thinking that her previous mistakes had led Tu Wenfu to fall into the turmoil of seizing the heir, and even more so. Having become a rafter that stands out, Concubine Chen Guifei can't wait to turn back time.For the sake of the next successor, coupled with Lin Ting's affection, Tu Gaocheng will definitely remove all obstacles on the way for Tu Wenchang. At that time——she dare not delay, and immediately pleads guilty like Tu Gaocheng, In exchange for a promise to keep Tu Wenfu rich and peaceful in the future life.

The third prince, Tu Wenhuai, plotting against Tu Wenfu this time, is also under the control of Tu Gaocheng and Chen Guifei.The reason for the uproar was precisely to allow Tu Wenfu to escape safely.

Chen Guifei really doesn't like Tu Wenhuai's despicable methods.Although the Zhen family claims to be from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, no one knows the details of the Zhen family. They are just upstarts; The Zhen family and the rest of the minor nobles gave their full support, and they could only lose against the apprentice Gao Cheng.

"There, I have ordered someone to take care of you, you don't have to worry!" Tu Gaocheng changed the subject, and brought up another matter that worried Concubine Chen Gui: "Although Fengxian Palace is a little deserted, but he Ri actually looked through the books in the attic, and he didn't feel restless, you taught him very well!"

Concubine Chen Guifei smiled bitterly: "Yeah, he was originally a sheep, and he only devoted himself to books. If it weren't for the greed of a mother like me, maybe there would not be as many things as before—" After the words were made clear, the two of them seemed to have returned to the peaceful time decades ago. There was no power struggle, and they were just friends of gentlemen who had nothing to do with Fengyue.

"People's hearts are changeable, who can guarantee that it will be the same as before?" Tu Gaocheng also sighed endlessly, it is time for him to cultivate his moral character and live up to his old age.Thinking of the rare peace in the harem these years, he gave Concubine Chen an approving look: "Pian'er and Jing'er will both think of the good of you and Hu'er!"

Knowing that this was another promise made by Tu Gaocheng, Chen Guifei burst into tears: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

......

Chengde Pavilion.

The overgrown weeds in the yard have been cleared away, vigorous dwarf pines and gardenias have been planted, and the cobwebs on the plaque at the door have also been swept away, revealing its original appearance.Although the house has been repaired and does not match the splendor of the palace, it is still simple and tidy. There are several exquisite birdcages hanging under the eaves. Inside are two or three parrots, mynahs, jumping around and chattering loudly, and a few bright red lanterns. Hanging, swaying with the summer breeze, there is no peace and security.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tu Gaocheng was very satisfied. Although Tu Wenshen's actions broke his heart, he was his own child after all, and he was imprisoned and imprisoned, but he did not allow others to bully him: "Anfu, the one in Dongcheng Child, you put him in your name!"

An Fu was overwhelmed with surprise. He knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" If there is a person who is crying and crying, he will not be a lonely ghost after death; a eunuch like him has to think twice about everything, so he has never dared to mention it in front of Tu Gaocheng. Given such a grace, he almost wept with joy.

After entering the room, Tu Gaocheng looked at Tu Wenshen standing in front of the window, raised his brows, and sat down in the main hall by himself: "It seems that you are now determined to ruin your body blindly! "

"Why does the father reprimand you so grandly?" Tu Wenshen turned around, looked at the majestic Tu Gaocheng in the dragon robe, and smiled mockingly: "Isn't it a decree that will never grant grace? Am I spending my whole life here? Anyway, Qingping is dead and my daughter is gone, so why should I cherish myself?"

Although he told himself to be calm, Tu Gaocheng was still irritated by his words: "You evil! How dare you do this to your parents, who are physically and mentally affected, because your children's personal relationships are arbitrarily damaged?!" Wen Shen's indifferent expression made him feel very depressed.

Swinging his sleeves and resisting the thought of leaving, Tu Gaocheng said in a deep voice, "I think you don't know the identity of your outer room! She is not only a secret worker from Cheng Qiang, but also a saint of Cheng Qiang. Now the priest of Cheng Qiang has come to Da'an with the purpose of taking her daughter away—"

"What?!" Tu Wenshen couldn't calm down anymore.

The system of Cheng Qiang was quite different from that of Da'an.After many years of dynasties in the Central Plains, now the imperial power is supreme and ordered by heaven; Cheng Qiang still maintains the system of imperial power and divine power, and priests and saints are very mysterious in Cheng Qiang, and they are regarded as the existence of venerables. .

"I didn't expect that the so-called Chengqiang saintesses were chosen to be beautiful women and cultivated into fine works. Because they ventured to other countries and served others to spy on the news, it was regarded as an act of righteousness, so they were regarded as saints. Very. Hmph, speaking of it, it’s quite the same as the Buddha’s cutting meat and feeding the eagles!” Tu Gaocheng thought about the news he got from the Chengqiang firm, and mocked coldly and maliciously: “Now , do you still think your Qingping girl is a pure and flawless alpine snow lotus?"

Tu Wenshen's mind was in confusion, he knew that Qingping was carefully crafted by Cheng Qiang, but the house in Mingyue Lane was filled with his own hands, so he knew very well that Qingping had never done anything to apologize to him... However , the identity of Chengqiang saintess—his eyes froze: "In any case, she could have gone away with her daughter to hide her name, and even returned to Chengqiang to continue her life, but she didn't! Even if she is Chengqiang saintess, so what ?!"

Seeing the firmness in Tu Wenshen's eyes, Tu Gaocheng scrutinized him for a long time, and finally laughed lightly, his voice couldn't tell whether it was praise or criticism: "You are tolerant..."

"Father must not only be talking about this matter! There is also—priest of Cheng Qiang, how do you know?" Tu Wenshen was taught by Tu Gaocheng himself, although he has been paralyzed by alcohol and longing these days Nervous, but not a waste, he stared straight at Tu Gaocheng and asked aloud.

Not surprised by this son's sensitivity, Tu Gaocheng only sighed in his heart that he was dizzy at the beginning, and took out the familiar suet jade ball hidden in his sleeve: "I have found your daughter, and now I am raising her." The one is a fifth-rank official, who brought her from the Yuyingtang under the pretext, and her adoptive mother is a maid named Shuang'er who was next to you in the outer room earlier, so you don't have to worry about it!" He weighed the jade ball, His meaningful eyes fell on Tu Wenshen: "Although I won't recognize her, I will order someone to give this thing to her adoptive mother as a proof to keep her safe in the future—"

In Tu Wenshen's heart, Keqing's daughter is a symbol of his mutual admiration and acquaintance with Qingping, knowing the news of his daughter's whereabouts and safety, a big stone fell from his heart.Looking at Tu Gaocheng, Tu Wenshen understood something, he was very refreshed, he didn't see it at all before he was depressed and depressed: "Father, don't worry, I am a tiger without minions now, as long as my fourth brother can guarantee that Keqing will not suffer, I will naturally, Naturally, I won't cause him any more trouble!" At the end, he slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Tu Gaocheng nodded.He doesn't want to see blood flow between brothers, and Qin'er's temperament is decisive and sharp. If the brothers above rise up in the future, he will not tolerate it. Now that he has made arrangements, he can settle it. Trouble mind.

At the moment when Tu Wenshen was about to step out of the door, Tu Wenshen asked suddenly: "Father, but sincerely, I hoped that the one who would inherit that seat was me?"

Tu Gaocheng was silent for a moment: "I promised your mother that I will raise and teach you well no matter what..."

Watching Tu Gaocheng's back gradually go away, and finally disappeared behind the vermilion lacquered door, Tu Wenshen sat blankly, and finally burst out laughing, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, splashing shallow water on the hem of his clothes mark.

A promise from the emperor is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
