[Red Mansion] Married by decree

After the queen was abolished, Eunuch Ling, who was beside the emperor, rushed to the palace of the queen mother at the first time.Behind him, followed by a group of servants, one of them was holding a wooden box in his hand.

The servant holding the box had steady hands, and his footsteps were unusually steady.It's just that the eyes are afraid to look at the box, as if there is something very heavy in the box.

Just by looking at the size of the box, the queen mother could guess what was inside, but some couldn't believe it.

"I have seen the Queen Mother, and I have seen Princess Anshun." Eunuch Ling had no expression on his face. He was the most calm of all the eunuchs, and he didn't even change his gaze towards the box.It seemed that what was being held behind her was not the supreme Fengxi Seal, but an ordinary object.

"Eunuch Ling is this?" the Queen Mother asked with some doubts.

The queen had a son, but died of illness at the age of ten.Today, she has no prince under her name.The biological mothers of both the eldest prince and the third prince are here, so if she wants to gain benefits from this seizure, the best choice is to support the prince.

The current queen naturally supports the prince.If it was before, it would be nothing, but now the emperor is dissatisfied with the crown prince, and has no intention of letting him succeed to the throne. At this time, the queen's actions are in the way.The queen mother had already guessed that the emperor was going to attack the queen, but she did not expect it to be so early.

The queen mother thinks of the queen and thinks she is stupid, she is the queen, no matter who succeeds to the throne, she must be regarded as the queen mother, there is no need to fight for this support.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the deposed empress murdered the emperor and was thrown into the cold palace. However, the harem cannot be left alone for a day. The emperor asked the servants to bring the Fengxi seal, and asked the empress dowager to control the harem."

"This palace knows, let the emperor rest assured."

The next day, the emperor made another decree to promote the third prince's birth mother, Zhou Guifei, to the title of imperial concubine.The queen and imperial concubine in the palace have always been the same. Now that the imperial concubine is canonized, no one will take the post.

This decree is very intriguing, the ministers couldn't guess what the emperor's plan was, and they couldn't guess whether the emperor wanted the crown prince or the third prince.

If it was the third prince, he was only conferred the title of imperial concubine, not directly the concubine.Although the imperial concubine of Zhou is currently the highest in the palace, she is still a bit behind the empress.That alone makes a world of difference.

If it is said that the emperor still prefers the crown prince, then why did he promote Concubine Zhou to be Imperial Concubine instead of concubine Niu.Concubine Niu's ten princes are still young and have no influence on the power of the three princes.

The imperial concubine's palace, which was supposed to be beaming with happiness, was also gloomy, and the maids and eunuchs were all trembling.

There is no other reason, there is no empress in the harem, and the post of commanding the harem should have fallen on the head of the imperial concubine, but the emperor issued an order the day before to let the empress dowager act.When Concubine Zhou became the imperial concubine, she had no intention of handing over the rights to the current imperial concubine.

The Empress Dowager was the emperor's biological mother, and the imperial concubine Zhou was unhappy, but she couldn't say anything.Even fighting for power is completely incompetent.A few times, the queen mother mentioned a few words, and the imperial concubine Zhou would even flatter her with a smiling face, showing that she didn't want this right at all.It was really aggrieved, which made her even more dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.

When Daiyu heard Eunuch Ling's words in the Empress Dowager's Palace, she was also very shocked, she was smart enough not to ask any more questions.Vaguely, she had guessed the reason, as long as she knew the reason well, if she asked, she would be a fool.

"Princess Anshun, please stay."

Not long after Daiyu left the Queen Mother's palace, she was stopped by someone.This person is Lin Guiren, and also the emperor's favorite person recently.

Daiyu stopped and waited for Lin Guiren to come over. Lin Guiren didn't salute Daiyu after seeing Daiyu, but opened his mouth directly, inquiring about the Queen's deposed matter between the lines.Daiyu frowned, and didn't want to talk more about it with Lin Guiren.

At this moment, Yunjin seemed to know what Daiyu wanted, and suddenly burst into tears.Hearing the crying, Guiren Lin glanced at Yun Jin with disgust, apparently feeling that Yun Jin's crying was very noisy.

Daiyu took a look and knew that the reason Yunjin was crying was because she wet the silk pad on her buttocks.Daiyu hurriedly said to Lin Guiren, and left directly holding Yunjin.

"What, a mere nobleman dares to be so rude to the princess." For Lin Guiren's arrogant attitude, the people around Daiyu were naturally dissatisfied.

Daiyu is loved by the Empress Dowager, and Yunze is also loved by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and he is also the Prince of Anshun and the Regent, even if it is a concubine or concubine, whoever sees Daiyu is not polite.There are not many people as arrogant as Lin Guiren.

Although dissatisfied, the people around Daiyu did not show it face to face.After getting away from Lin Guiren, Xue Yan spoke in a very dissatisfied tone.

"Snow geese!"

This is in the palace, she is Yunze's princess, so she must be more cautious in her words and deeds.Xueyan is the person around her, and what she says and does, in the eyes of outsiders, represents her meaning.Therefore, even though Xueyan was helping her fight an injustice, Daiyu still interrupted.

"Princess forgive me, Xueyan knows it's wrong."

After Daiyu spoke, Xueyan obviously realized that this place is not suitable for talking about these things.She hurriedly apologized, and while speaking, she looked around to make sure that no one heard her.

"Get up. In the future, pay more attention." Seeing Xueyan's performance, Daiyu only knew that Xueyan realized what was wrong with her, and didn't blame her too much, so she asked people to wake up.

"Xueyan will definitely not commit another crime..."

Yun Jin was obviously very uncomfortable and cried a little loudly.Fortunately, not far away is the palace of Prince Chen, Queen Mother and Concubine.His mother was also one of the four concubines and was named Concubine Yu by the emperor.

In the past few years, there have been no new princes and daughters in the palace, and there are quite a few people who know that Daiyu has entered the palace today.When the maids in Concubine Yu's palace heard the baby's cry, they probably guessed who was nearby, and hurriedly informed Concubine Yu.

Daiyu also knew that Yunjin was suffering, but this was the imperial palace, so it was difficult for her to find a palace to directly replace the silk sheets for Yunjin.She couldn't help speeding up her feet, and when she was about to walk past the palace, she heard hurried footsteps.

"Princess Anshun, please stay." This was the second time Daiyu heard this sentence today, and she couldn't help frowning again, not knowing what was going on this time.Although she wanted to leave quickly, Daiyu stopped and waited for the maid to come to her.

"My maidservant has seen the princess." Daiyu, the palace maid, knew her, she was the maid next to Concubine Yu.

"Concubine Yu is looking for Princess Ben, what's the matter?"

"The master heard that the little prince was crying so much, so he sent his slaves over. If the princess doesn't mind, you can go to the palace to rest for a while, so that you can coax the little prince."

"In this case, my concubine will not be disrespectful." Daiyu looked at Yun Jin who was blushing from crying in her arms, and did not refuse.Besides, Daiyu knew that Yunze was secretly supporting Prince Chen, so it could be said that several of them were on the same boat, so there was no need to refuse.

The baby's cry was actually a bit irritating, but Concubine Yu kept smiling and didn't find it noisy at all, at least it seemed so on the surface.Daiyu and Concubine Yu explained the situation, and Concubine Yu ordered the nanny to be taken to the side hall.

When the nurse took Yun Jin to the side hall, Daiyu sat in the main hall and chatted with Concubine Yu.The interests of the two are the same, and the atmosphere is even more harmonious.

"Daiyu would like to thank Concubine Yu, if it's not convenient for her, Jin'er may have to suffer for a while."

"The concubine must be polite, this is what I should do. On weekdays, Yunrui is often taken care of by Prince Anshun." Concubine Yu smiled gently, like a big sister, and it was easy to make people feel good about her.

While the two were talking, Concubine Yu's maid came over.She saw that Daiyu hesitated to speak, and looked at Concubine Yu, wondering whether she should speak or not.

"The concubine is not an outsider. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Concubine Yu waved her hand indifferently, without any shyness, with an appearance of trusting Daiyu.

After receiving Concubine Yu's order, the court lady didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the servants have already prepared the things you ordered, but you want to send them over now?"

"My lady is this?"

"The empress is not mean to me on weekdays, but now that she is in trouble, I can't save her, so I can only do what I can to make the empress feel better." Concubine Yu's expression was expressionless.

When Concubine Yu said this, she was holding a teacup in her hand, and the lid of the cup touched the rim of the cup one after another, making it impossible to tell whether her words were true or false.

Daiyu's face was calm, she was not surprised at all that Concubine Yu gave something to a waste queen who murdered the emperor: "Your Majesty has a heart."

When the nanny came back with Yun Jin in her arms, Yun Jin was held in her arms obediently, neither crying nor fussing.Seeing that nothing happened, Daiyu said goodbye and left.Along the way, I didn't meet anyone else.

When Daiyu returned to the palace, Yunze had just returned.After seeing Yunze, she told all about Concubine Yu and Lin Guiren.

When the queen was deposed, the concubines in the harem were more concerned about the emperor's favor and their own position.Regardless of whether the emperor is a queen or imperial concubine, there is always someone who wants to be promoted.In this way, that person's position was vacated.

Everyone crowded their heads and wanted to be promoted. At this time, Lin Guiren was not concerned about how to win the favor, so that he could be promoted to the concubine, but to be higher. Instead, he was more concerned about the reason why the queen was deposed. How can this not make people doubt her.

"According to Yu'er's guess, this Lin Guiren is very likely to belong to the prince." Daiyu directly stated her guess, and she was [-]% sure of it.

"Yu'er will be far away in the future, a small nobleman can't make any trouble." Yunze felt that Daiyu's judgment was correct, but he didn't take Lin Guiren seriously.This Lin Guiren's family background is not obvious, apart from the emperor's favor, he has nothing to rely on.

But this person doesn't know what to do, and when he sees himself favored, he gets carried away and doesn't put other people in his eyes at all.What a no-brainer, if he is really favored, why is he still a noble person until now.What's more, in the current situation, no matter how favored she is, she doesn't have the reality to have a son by her side.

"Yu'er knows. Where is Concubine Yu?" Daiyu somewhat guessed Concubine Yu's intentions.

Yunze grew up in the palace, and compared to Daiyu, he is more used to fighting in the harem. Based on Daiyu's words, he also guessed the purpose of Concubine Yu's move.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth when he spoke, but there was a hint of praise: "Concubine Yu is a smart lady, and this move will serve multiple purposes."

Concubine Yu did this to show Yunze, the emperor, and other concubines in the harem.

The next day, former sister Luo and now Zhang Shangshu's eldest daughter-in-law came to visit Daiyu.The relationship between the two was very good, and Daiyu didn't let anyone take her to the flower hall, but went to Daiyu's study.

Since Zhang Luoshi came to the capital, he is also a frequent visitor to Anshun Palace.Even though her father-in-law is just a minister, Yunze doesn't think it's a big deal, because she has a very good relationship with Daiyu, the servants of the palace don't dare to belittle her.

When Zhang Luoshi came, he brought Yun Jin a small toy.It was a rattle drum, and Zhang Luoshi gently shook the drum, making a sound.It made Yunjin giggle and reach out to grab it.

Yun Jin wanted to put anything in his mouth now, but Zhang Luoshi didn't dare to give him the rattle.Although she has a good relationship with Daiyu, Yunjin is the son of Prince Anshun, if something happens, it is not something their family can afford.

"Sister, sister really envies you." Zhang Luoshi played with Yun Jin for a while before talking to Daiyu.She grabbed Daiyu's hand and said with sincere eyes: "Your lord is so kind to you, and now there is a younger sister in this palace, and there is no other woman, and there is such a well-behaved son, so happy."

"According to Yu'er, my sister is also a blessed person, so I don't have to envy Yu'er." Hearing what Daiyu said, Zhang Luo smiled bitterly.

She is a regular wife, but she doesn't have much love and affection, and some of them only have the dignity of a regular wife.She does have some status in the family, and many times, her husband gives her some.This status is not only from her father, but also because she has a good relationship with Daiyu, and she can speak well in front of Daiyu.

"Thinking about it now, my sister made money when she befriended you back then."

"But what happened?"

"No." Zhang Luoshi shook his head and said nothing.In fact, there was nothing wrong with it, but her mother-in-law was anxious to have a grandson, so she arranged a room with her husband. This was not the first time.

Zhang Luo was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but she had no way to refuse, even if she was the official wife, she had no right to refuse.The Zhang family also took a step back. Those maids did not give them titles. Even if they were favored by their husbands, they were not promoted to concubines. Even if they had children in the future, they would be recorded under her name.

"It's getting late, and it's time for my sister to go back."

"The lord and the emperor have something to discuss today, and they came back late. It's better for my sister to stay and have dinner with Yu'er before going back." Daiyu is really powerless about Zhang Luo's matter. only these.

Seeing that Zhang Luoshi agreed, Daiyu didn't let the people she brought go back to tell her, but instead sent people from the palace to Zhang's residence to inform.Zhang Luoshi also knew that Daiyu did this out of good intentions, and she would not refuse.

Both of them have lived in Yangzhou for a long time, and they are very consistent in taste.Today's dinner is all Huaiyang cuisine, which is light and delicious.When the dishes were ready, Zhang Luo's smile was like a flower, and he was in a very good mood.The two of them hadn't had dinner together for a long time, so Daiyu was very happy.

"Sister, if one day..." After dinner, Zhang Luoshi hesitated before leaving, but finally did not say that request.Daiyu treated her sincerely, and she didn't expect to embarrass Daiyu.

"What does my sister want to say? If my sister can do it, I will do it." Daiyu said firmly. She regards Zhang Luoshi as her own sister. As long as she can help, she will definitely not hesitate.

"It's not a big deal, just thinking, if my sister has a child in the future, my sister will help her to ask the prince to give her a name."

It is an honor to be named by Yunze, and he will be superior to others when he goes out and about in the future.This matter is difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, it depends on the family's connections and power, and the relationship with Yunze.

"Sister, don't worry, the prince will definitely not refuse."

Daiyu didn't even think about it, and agreed directly.Based on the relationship between Zhang Luoshi and Daiyu, this matter is not difficult at all.

After Zhang Luoshi went back, she first went to her mother-in-law to greet her. Her mother-in-law was very concerned about what happened in the palace, and even told her to get along well with Daiyu, so as not to lose her position in Daiyu's heart.

That night, her husband, who hadn't been to Zhang Luo's room for a few days, stayed in her room.Zhang Luoshi smiled wryly, serving her husband with all her heart.
