After the turmoil in the palace, Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan entered the palace once.
Jiang Nuan once again lamented the turmoil in the harem. Listening to Cen Yunchu's narration, even though he knew that she was safe and sound, he still couldn't help but sweat.
Xu Chunjun was happy for Cen Yunchu: "Before, I said that everything was ready and all we needed was the east wind. Now there is the east wind, and it will be just around the corner for the queen to be promoted to a noble concubine."
"All glory and wealth are just smoke and clouds. But since I have been pushed here, if I don't fight, I'm afraid I will be eaten without any bones left." Cen Yunchu smiled bitterly.
Only in front of the two of them could Cen Yunchu express what was on his mind.
I didn’t say these things in front of my family, for fear that they would be worried.
"Is there really nothing that can be done about the fourth prince's illness?" Jiang Nuan was already soft-hearted, not to mention that now that she is a mother, she hates to hear that something is wrong with her child.
"This child's disease is indeed difficult to treat, but fortunately it is not a symptom," Cen Yunchu said. "I hope that a cure can be found in the next two to three years."
"Speaking of which, those people in the Zhong family made a big fuss some time ago. Why are they keeping silent now, as if nothing is wrong?" Jiang Nuan was puzzled.
"What's so difficult about this?" Cen Yunchu smiled, "I was the one who thought it was me, and I wanted to kill him quickly.
Later it was found out that he was from the palace over there, and Yongping said that he had done everything on his own initiative. How dare those people pursue it further."
The queen's natal family is the King of Huaiyang, and her grandmother, the eldest princess, is the only biological aunt of Emperor Xuanqing.
Whether Emperor Mingde ascended the throne or the current emperor succeeded to the throne, it was inseparable from the strong support of King Huaiyang.
When it comes to the basic authority of ministers in the dynasty, the King of Huaiyang dares to claim the second place, and no one dares to claim the first place.
As the eldest daughter of the Huaiyang Palace, when the Queen married the current Emperor, the Emperor was still the King of Dongjiang.
Because he went to Beijing to meet the emperor, he was spotted by the daughter of the Prince of Huaiyang.
The queen is four or five years older than the emperor, and because no one can take her seriously, she has not married yet.
It was love at first sight for the emperor. The eldest princess was still there at the time. As soon as she entered the palace, the emperor agreed to marry me.
At that time, Emperor Xuanqing had not yet carried out the political reform, and King Huaiyang was regarded as the most important minister, with power over the entire government.
Although there were reforms by Xu Youguang after that, they only reduced the power of King Huaiyang but still maintained his honor.
Later, Emperor Xuanqing died suddenly, and King Huaiyang supported Emperor Mingde, who was still highly relied upon.
Later, Emperor Mingde was assassinated and the current emperor succeeded to the throne.
The King of Huaiyang was already a senior figure in the dynasty, not to mention his status as the head of the dynasty, which made his roots even deeper.
Even though the Zhong family felt grievances, they knew they couldn't afford to provoke them, so they had no choice but to stop and no longer dare to raise any objections.
"It turns out that these people in the imperial court are so bullying and fearful of the strong." Jiang Nuan shook her head after hearing this, "I just thought my stepmother and others were like this."
"Speaking of which, Jiang Hui was kicked out of the school by his uncle after all." Xu Chunjun said, "The kid was quite studious at first, but then he probably became arrogant as he watched his family gain momentum.
He forms a gang with several of his children all day long, bullying his classmates from poor backgrounds, and even injuring them. My uncle said that such people cannot be kept, and no matter who intercedes, they will never be accommodating."
"It's like this. When we were humble, didn't we hate people who bully others the most?" Jiang Nuan said, "I think Uncle Chen did the right thing."
"Your stepmother has the most evil intentions. No matter how much she pretends to be like her in front of outsiders, she can't change her true nature. Just look at the virtues of her own two children." Cen Yunchu chuckled.
"You have a lot of things going on in the palace now, and we didn't tell you some things." Jiang Nuan said, "It's also because we haven't verified it. I'm afraid it may not be true."
"What is it? I heard you say that, but there is conclusive evidence?" Cen Yunchu smiled.
"Oh, this matter is complicated and convoluted. I can't explain it clearly with my stupid mouth. I'd better let Chunjun tell you." Jiang Nuan said.
Xu Chunjun then told what happened to Cheng Yun. Cen Yunchu shook his head after hearing this: "I'm afraid Jiang Qing and her daughter are crazy, how could they do such a heartbreaking thing? The Zong family is really unlucky to have such a disaster star marry into the family.
"
Then he asked: "Then when do you plan to expose this matter?"
"It's not possible now. In a few months, Chengyun will give birth." Xu Chunjun said, "When she gives birth to the child, we can find another opportunity to go to the Zong family!"
"It's a pity that we can't come here to see such a lively scene." Cen Yunchu shook his head and sighed.
"I used to think this was a big deal, but after hearing what you said about the things in the palace, I thought it was nothing." Jiang Nuan said, "Why should you feel sorry? Anyway, you are always in the palace.
A big show."
"That's different," Cen Yunchu said with a sweet smile, "You don't know, fighting in this palace is like playing Go, beating around the bush and attacking in the east. It not only tests your scheming, but also your patience.
Besides, it’s often just a matter of fussing over the situation, and due to the interests and consequences, it can only be settled. It’s far less enjoyable than what you’re doing outside.”
"When the matter is settled, we will definitely come to the palace to discuss the details with the empress." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "You can just enjoy yourself like listening to a book."
"Alas! What can be done? This is the only way." Cen Yunchu shook his head helplessly.
"It's true that you must take good care of yourself in the palace. There are many people who are jealous of you, so be careful!" Jiang Nuan couldn't help but hold Cen Yunchu's hand, "Sister Xu and I can only
I occasionally come to the palace to see you, but in fact I can't do anything to help you.
People outside envy you for your wealth, but we are worried about your safety. Especially now that you are pregnant again, we must be more careful."
"I know how you feel, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Cen Yunchu shook Jiang Nuan's hand.
Then he looked at Xu Chunjun with a smile and said: "Your official Zheng is now in high school and will be assigned official positions in a few days. You must hurry up and don't let us fall too far behind."
"What do you mean, faster?" Xu Chunjun was puzzled for a moment.
"Of course your stomach is faster," Cen Yunchu smiled, "I want to get married to you."
"This can't be done. Even if you are the empress, you have to agree on a first-come, first-served basis. I made an appointment with Sister Xu when our brother Zao was in the belly." Jiang Nuan refused to agree to anything, "You can't
Rob."
"Why are you so anxious? Chunjun will not give birth to just one child." Cen Yunchu said, "In a few months, your Mr. Huo will also come back. Why don't you give birth to one after another by then?"
Jiang Nuan blushed at what she said and hesitated: "I'm not a pig, how can I give birth to litter after litter! Stop laughing at me."
Cen Yunchu left the two of them to eat together in the palace before letting them leave.
Although the three of them were reluctant to leave, the palace rules were there and could not be violated.
