The Emperor’s Beloved Ugly Girl

Concubine Zhao's mother's family, the Zhao family, is a well-known family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past, Concubine Zhao's father was the Right Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He died of illness two years ago. He took over the position of right minister, but at that time, Long Live Lord paid more attention to Duan Chenghong, who was born in a poor family and had no roots, so Duan Chenghong, the prospective father-in-law of the Eastern Palace Prince, immediately took over as the right minister. The Zhao family gritted their teeth, but they did not dare to complain Well, it's only natural for the Lord Long Live to lift up the crown prince, who would dare to criticize him?

And the Xu family behind the queen mother and the prince is not easy to mess with. The great Zhou has been established for a hundred years, and naturally the emperor is all surnamed Zhong, but all the queens and concubines have been named Xu. The ancestor made great military exploits when he conquered the country. In order to thank the Xu family, the Taizu emperor established the ancestral system that all queens of the Zhou dynasty should come from the Xu family.

Not only is the empress's surname Xu, but the Xu family has also produced three emperor teachers and two ministers. They are the leading wealthy nobles in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's just that in this generation, the Xu family's children are not as prominent as before. However, there were also many generals, who seemed insignificant, but compared to the courtiers of the capital who had no access to military and political power, this was a real force. Naturally, the Zhao family would not dare to provoke them easily.

Therefore, even though Zhao's family was brooding over the matter of the right minister, they could only let it go in the end, but now that the abolished prince has fallen and Duan Chenghong has been demoted, Zhao Changrong has naturally become a popular candidate for the right minister. The crowd was busy, and sure enough, at the beginning of May, Lord Long Live promoted Zhao Changrong to the right chancellor, but immediately afterward, there was another imperial decree, Lord Long Live promoted Concubine Shu’s father, Cui You’an, and the left deputy capital envoy of the third-rank Metropolitan Procuratorate to be first-rank officials. Bu Shangshu replaced Zhao Changrong's original position.

Nowadays, people's family background is not too low. No matter how you say it, they are from the first grade, not to mention that they are still officials, Concubine Zhao said coldly, while taking off the heavy and cumbersome hairpins from her hair one by one and throwing them on the small table , said coldly, Long Live Lord promoted Cui Youan in the previous court, and he did not forget to promote the second prince in the harem. If this continues, the Yanxi Palace may change hands tomorrow!

Mother and concubine, you can't go on like this! Just now in Baohua Temple, you also saw that the father and the second child are really kind and filial. Zhong Mingzheng was so anxious that he clenched his fists, his eyes seemed to spit fire He said, I don't care if Cui Youan is promoted or not, but if the father keeps thinking about the second child so much, maybe one day the father will make an imperial decree, and the second child will move into the East Palace!

Seeing that Empress Zhenxian’s memorial day is approaching, Lord Long Live personally went to Baohua Temple to inspect the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony. Concubine Zhao’s mother and concubine Shu’s mother and son accompanied them. The song Song of Encouraging Filial Piety was full of praise from Lord Long Live. At that time, he casually said that it is time to crown you two brothers as kings. For a while, the two mothers and sons present really had different tastes.

Your father's promotion to Cui You'an's official position is to make the concubine Shu's mother and son look good. Concubine Zhao took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, I see that it is probably the fault of our Zhao family who stretched his hands too long. gone.

Zhong Mingzheng was stunned, and then whispered: The concubine mother is referring to Ningguta? But didn't we withdraw people back early in the morning? Besides, we are not the only ones at Ningguta.

So what? If Long Live is suspicious of you, he will always see that you are not right anywhere. Did you only know about your father's temperament today? Concubine Zhao said coldly, while sighing, He said to Zhong Mingzheng, Look at how much the second prince likes your father, he knows what to say, but what about you? Just like a wooden stake, does it mean that your father likes wooden stakes?

Zhong Mingzheng sniffed: I... I just don't like the way the second child wags his head and tail. Whenever he sees the father, he flatters like a dog.
