In the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu told Wu everything about Jin Ying's performance that day. After Wu heard this, a smile flashed between his eyebrows and said.
"This is not something that cannot be mentioned. If you want to know, Aijia can tell you."
There was a flash of memory in Wu's eyes, and she said: "Before I entered the palace, I was also the daughter of an official family. Later, because I was implicated in the rebellion of the King of Han, I was fined and confiscated into the palace. By chance, I met your father..."
So Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, pricked up his ears and listened.
Speaking of which, as a mother-in-law, I have always been very taboo about the past and rarely mentioned it. Even he didn't know much about it.
"But at that time, the former Empress Dowager still made the decision in the palace. When Emperor Renzong was the crown prince, he supervised the country for more than 20 years. He was repeatedly bullied by the King of Han and the King of Zhao, and was almost deposed several times. Emperor Renzong did not miss the new year, and he also
That’s why.”
"In addition, as soon as Emperor Renzong came to heaven, the King of Han launched an army to rebel. Therefore, the former Empress Dowager hated everyone related to the King of Han."
"Because of this, your father did not dare to canonize me openly. It was not until later, after you were born, that the First Empress Dowager reluctantly let go. Therefore, the Ai family was canonized as a virtuous concubine, until now."
Wu's narration was quite brief, and he only picked out the key points. Zhu Qiyu did not ask any more questions. After all, it was a matter of his parents' generation, and it should be kept confidential for the sake of the venerable.
After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu asked: "So there is another reason, but what does this have to do with Jin Ying?"
Wu smiled, woke up from the memories, and said: "Your father grew up under the teachings of the late Empress Dowager. He caused such a ridiculous thing. Naturally, he was afraid that her old man would be angry and punish him, so he
He wanted to send me out of the palace, but he never thought that I was pregnant at that time."
"Although your father had many concubines, it was difficult to have heirs. At that time, Jin Ying was already your father's confidant, so he sent me to Jin Ying's outer house to wait for delivery. It was at that time that I became married to Jin Ying.
A friendship.”
Zhu Qiyu nodded, so that was the reason.
"Does the concubine think this person is useful?"
Old stories can only be told as stories. As the same saying goes, he cannot get involved in the disputes between his parents.
Therefore, what Zhu Qiyu is more concerned about is Jin Ying and how deep his relationship with his mother and concubine is.
Wu frowned slightly when he heard this, and after a moment he said: "It's useful, but you can't rely on him as a confidant."
Zhu Qiyu said nothing, but there was a trace of doubt on his face.
"These are the rules for walking in the harem. Don't you know it's normal?"
Wu smiled and explained.
"In this palace, all the eunuchs are slaves, and they only have one master, the person on the dragon throne, and maybe the prince."
"But apart from that, whether it is the Queen Mother, the Queen or other concubines, they are not their real masters. Therefore, in the harem, it is common for both parties to make friends and protect themselves wisely."
"Jin Ying does have a relationship with the Ai family, but this does not prevent him from also having a relationship with the Sun family. However, you don't have to worry about what stupid things he will do. Jin Ying has been in the court for a long time and is a discerning person. In the current situation, it can still be used.
"
Zhu Qiyu was silent. If this was the case, then his original plan would change.
But that's for the future. At least for now, Jin Ying can still be trusted, and that's enough.
Let’s wait until after this war to talk about everything!
Next, mother and son chatted some more, and a palace maid came back to report that Mrs. Wang had woken up.
Concerned about Wang's poor health, Zhu Qiyu specially ordered someone to prepare an airtight sedan, and then he took Wang with him to leave Gyeongbokgung Palace and go to Prince Yin's Palace.
After changing into the carriage at the gate of the palace, Zhu Qiyu told Mr. Wang what happened in the outer court today. When he got to the thrilling part, Ms. Wang couldn't help but grab his hand, nervous for a while, looking endearing.
tight.
When she mentioned the instructions from the imperial physician, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel ashamed. She turned away and covered her face with her hands.
Zhu Qiyu turned her body over and said: "This is not a big deal, but in the next few days, you need to take good care of yourself. I will temporarily let my mother and concubine take care of the affairs in the palace on your behalf until you are well taken care of."
Get pregnant and give birth to a fat, white baby to keep my eldest sister company."
Mrs. Wang wrinkled her nose and punched him lightly, but she didn't say anything, but her heart felt sweet.
She knew in her heart that Zhu Qiyu didn't have to say these words to her personally, but he was afraid that she would have random thoughts because of this matter, so he deliberately said it playfully, just to make her relax.
Leaning her head on her husband's shoulder, Ms. Wang felt that all her hard work was worth it.
Holding Mrs. Wang in his arms, Zhu Qiyu suddenly remembered something and asked: "What happened in the palace today?"
Since Zhu Qiyu knew that something was going to happen at the court meeting today, he had made up his mind to seize the opportunity to force the palace, so he naturally had to make arrangements in the harem in advance.
It happened that Cheng Jing had an acquaintance who was in charge of the Xixin Department, so he ordered Cheng Jing to use some favors and send the scarce red radish charcoal in the palace to Jingyang Palace first.
There are a lot of charcoal in this palace, especially red radish charcoal. If you send too much charcoal to Jingyang Palace, other concubines will not be able to get it.
Even if Concubine Zhou didn't send people to make trouble, Wu would still find a way to distribute the charcoal fires to various palaces and take the opportunity to let Changchun Palace go.
In addition, he blocked the Queen Mother Sun in the Jiyi Palace. After all, the Wu family and the Wang family should be able to protect themselves. How could they cause such a big fuss...
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang bit her lower lip and said, "This is what my mother-in-law told me. She said that since the prince has arranged it like this, it seems that the queen mother wants to attack her and blackmail the prince. Since the prince can figure out the queen mother,
The timing of the action shows that the prince was the initiator of this conflict, and the queen mother must have been forced to act in a hurry."
"So instead of being prudent and protecting ourselves, we should take advantage of our tactics and make the matter as big as possible. The Queen Mother is not unreasonable in the first place. As long as the matter becomes big, it will definitely be helpful to the prince."
I see……
Zhu Qiyu sighed. His mother-in-law was really powerful. She could make such a correct judgment with just a few words. Even he could not compare with such vision and courage.
Reaching out to brush the blood on Wang's forehead, Zhu Qiyu asked: "So, you did it on purpose?"
Mrs. Wang blinked her eyes, thinking that he didn't like her scheming. After thinking about it, she said carefully: "My lord, you said before that you want me to listen to my mother and concubine more..."
Hearing the grievance of the person in his arms, Zhu Qiyu hugged her arm tightly and said: "It's good to be obedient, but it won't hurt yourself. If you bump into it, you don't know how to treat it lightly. Xing'an said
At that time, I was frightened, for fear that something would happen to you. If you don't do it, I will punish this boy Xing'an severely when you turn around."
Mrs. Wang finally felt relieved, buried her head and said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law said that this kind of thing must be true for it to be effective..."
"Okay, you are always right."
Outside the carriage, Xing'an felt an inexplicable chill coming over him, causing him to shrink his neck.
After wrapping up his clothes, Xing'an began to wonder whether he should turn out his winter coat and put it on...
