The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

Mr. Zhuang was unhappy with Qin Zhong for a long time, and he hated him even more when he heard Lin Chen's words, but he heard that Qin Zhong was born better than a girl, so he couldn't help worrying, and repeatedly ordered Lin Chen to stay away from Qin Zhong, and even more so Lin Chen pulled him to warn him when he left, "You were just when you were young and admired Ai, and you may have liked those good colors, but no matter how good his surname is Qin, if you move your mind a little bit, I will forgive you." I can't miss you!"

Lin Chen was really skeptical. Could it be that in the eyes of Mr. Zhuang, he was such a greedy, lustful, and lustful person who couldn't see the situation clearly?No matter how good Qin Zhongsheng is, with his background, even if he is muddleheaded, he absolutely dare not provoke him.

Can't help but agree with a wry smile: "Sir, just don't worry, Qin Zhong is busy now, and the young master of Jia's mansion is now obsessed by him, and he is pestering him, so he can't take care of me." .”

Lin Chen swears and swears again, finally escapes from Mr. Zhuang and goes to Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Chen also knew in his heart that Mr. Zhuang's exhortations were not because he was really afraid that he would fall in love with Qin Zhong, but more because he was afraid of Qin Zhong's background.

Wanting to learn more about the secrets, I have to mention an old incident from the previous dynasty.It is said that the eldest prince of the previous dynasty, that is, the current emperor, is the son of Empress Zhao Jingwen, who occupies the throne and is the eldest son, and after the crown prince is crowned prince, he is the sure successor of the emperor.In addition, Empress Zhao Jingwen is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, a rich family in Shandong. With the help of such a noble and unparalleled mother family, the road to the top should be smooth and smooth.

It's just that there are exceptions to everything, and this "exception" is ridiculous to say the least. The former Emperor Zhaoqing was originally just an unremarkable concubine prince, who was not in his turn to be on the throne.

But he was lucky, the eldest brother, the crown prince, died of illness early on, leaving no children behind.There is also a very powerful mother and concubine, this Concubine Yi Zheng's background is extremely poor, but she is the daughter of a ninth-rank official, this can be seen from the fact that her son has become the emperor, but she can only be posthumously concubine .

But this Concubine Yi was very skilled, and she was quite respectable in front of the Holy Majesty, and later she died to save her.Before she died, she only asked the Holy One for one thing, and exchanged her life for Emperor Zhaoqing to get a good relative——Shandong Gu family, three generations of emperor teachers, a pillar of Qing Dynasty, a century-old family.Emperor Zhaoqing, a bald prince, was able to marry the eldest daughter of his family, it was really good luck.

Later, Emperor Zhaoqing came to the throne, and he also relied on the help and support of this noble family. It stands to reason that the daughter-in-law his mother bought for him with her life was of a very noble background. How respectful is Empress Zhao Jingwen?

It's a pity that Emperor Zhaoqing's brain circuit is really weird. He didn't inherit much of the good genes of Concubine Yi's scheming and ingenuity, but he learned most of the unforgiving nature in his bones.He felt that he had the help of the Yue family to ascend to the throne, which is not very honorable at all, and this marriage was said to be the result of his own begging, so he hated the queen three points in his heart.In addition, although Empress Zhaojingwen was of high birth, her appearance was mediocre, so Emperor Zhaoqing naturally treated her indifferently.

However, the two of them treated each other as guests. Within three years of their marriage, Empress Zhao Jingwen gave birth to a son and a daughter, making others envious.

The real change has to start with Concubine Yi's natal family. Concubine Yi's father was made Marquis of Qi after Emperor Zhaoqing ascended the throne.Relying on his nepotism, he suddenly rose from a ninth-rank official to the circle of top aristocrats in the capital. He thought he had found a way to get promoted, and sent a granddaughter into the palace.

This daughter of the Zheng family's direct grandson had a relationship with Emperor Zhaoqing before she entered the palace.Emperor Zhaoqing loved her color, and really liked her small-minded and caring personality, so when she entered the palace, she was made a concubine of virtue, only under the empress.After he gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Emperor Zhaoqing rewarded his mother's family even more, and this is how the later Qi State Duke's Mansion came into being.

In fact, that's all, after all, Empress Zhao Jingwen was born in a century-old family, and her prestige is not comparable to that of a nouveau riche who started with a woman's skirt.Even if the emperor doesn't like it, her position in the middle palace is still as stable as a rock.

The bad thing is that Emperor Zhaoqing not only dislikes the queen, but also dislikes the Gu family.What's more, when the wind blows on Concubine Zheng De's pillow, he feels that the Gu family is insecure and troublesome.The Gu family was suppressed by him so many times, the old man Gu couldn't hold on for the first time, he vomited blood for several days, he was so angry that he was alive, and Ding You had to be in court for three years.

Once the mainstay of the Gu family fell, Empress Zhao Jingwen's position would also be precarious. Emperor Zhaoqing was urged by the Zheng family several times to talk about abolishing the empress. , might become Dayong's first abolished empress since the founding of the country!In contrast, Concubine Zheng De is becoming more and more popular. This noble concubine has sons, daughters, holy favors, and natal family. Apart from her name, she is the queen!

Concubine Zheng De's son, Xingsan, was born with intelligence and intelligence, and Emperor Zhaoqing liked him very much.It's a pity that the eldest son is still standing there, where is there anything about the third prince?Emperor Zhaoqing was the first minister to disagree with Emperor Zhaoqing's thought.Similarly, Emperor Zhaoqing did not agree to Li Jinshang to be the crown prince, so the two sides had to stand at a stalemate.

The favored imperial concubine, mother and son, and the unfavored empress who has no backing, in this deep palace with red top and white, anyone with eyes knows what to do.It can be said that when the emperor was not yet the crown prince, their mother's life in the palace was not as good as that of the decent slaves in Concubine Zheng De's palace.

Empress Zhao Jingwen is not a submissive person, she may not be as courteous as concubine Zheng De, but her scheming and insight are far superior.It's fine if she doesn't make a move, but if she makes a move, it will be thunderous.

Empress Zhao Jingwen only did two things. One was to marry her daughter, Princess Shuyi, to Zhuang Cheng, the son of Zhuang Xu who was only the Minister of the Household Department at that time; The eldest daughter is the main wife.It was these two well-established and good marriages, and today they got the help of the three families at once, and Empress Zhao Jingwen also firmly secured her position in the middle palace.

And Concubine Zheng De will be flattered again, after all, she is only from a ninth-rank official family. The Zheng family is a nouveau riche, seeing the benefits of marrying a daughter, how can they let the fat water fall into the fields of outsiders?Therefore, the third prince's concubine is still surnamed Zheng.

Even if the third prince actually brought back several noble concubines later on, but this little Concubine Zheng was so hot-tempered that she couldn't tolerate others, and with the support of Concubine Zheng De, she forced a concubine to death. The first daughter of a third-rank official.Thanks to this little concubine Zheng, the marriage of the three princes turned into a feud, and the failure of the alliance forced several "Yue family" to go to the eldest prince...

Today is such a difficult and dangerous ascension to the throne, Qi Guofu and the three princes were also killed. Empress Zhao Jingwen finally had a few days of peace and life, right?But at the funeral of Emperor Zhaoqing, Concubine Zheng De took out an imperial decree, whether it was true or not, which clearly stated that the empress and Concubine De should be buried.Regardless of the authenticity of the imperial decree, if such a thing is produced in front of civil and military officials, even if it is false, it will only come true!

Empress Zhao Jingwen suffered so much for her two children, so she was naturally unwilling to embarrass the new emperor. After Concubine Zheng De finished reading the will, she just smiled slightly and crashed to death on the coffin of Emperor Zhaoqing on the spot...

I am so mournful today that I ordered that the day should not be replaced by the moon, and I kept my filial piety for the first queen mother for 27 months.Princess Shuyi has been seriously ill since then, and even when she recovers, her health is not as good as before...

The Duke of Qi's Mansion is a thorn in the hearts of Jinshang and Eldest Princess Shuyi. When the Elder Princess Shuyi taught her son, there was nothing good to say about this family. It can be said that Zhuang You naturally resisted and hated Qi Guofu. Naturally, the Seventh Prince of the Duke of Qi's blood didn't like him.

But what does this have to do with Qin Zhong?

Lin Chen looked at Qin Zhong, who was apologizing for accidentally spilling ink on his body, and smiled slightly—at least, when the Seventh Prince approached Qin Zhong, they called him Cousin Young Master affectionately. He didn't refuse; he didn't refuse when Jia's mother took him in to serve him.

So, what does it matter whether the young man in front of him is the blood left by Duke Qi?Now, he can only obediently be the descendant of Qi Guofu...
