Chapter five hundred and seventy first state of the world
The eunuch cleared his throat: "Your Majesty is free now. Hearing that Beauty Zhou is coming, he specially ordered his servants to come in and ask Beauty Zhou to come in now."
Concubine Zheng: "..."
Zhou Meiren stood up happily, carrying the food box and walked over. When she passed by Concubine Zheng, she smiled considerately and said: "Concubine Zheng, don't be impatient. I sent the food to the emperor and then left. The emperor will see you soon."
your."
... Concubine Zheng's face turned pale with anger. She watched Meiren Zhou enter the royal study, her temples jumped a few times, and she turned around and left expressionlessly.
The emperor deliberately ignored her, and his attitude was obvious. It was impossible for her to intercede for the third prince! In this case, staying here would just make people laugh!
For the next half month, the emperor never set foot in Concubine Zheng's palace. Concubine Zheng repeatedly wanted to see her but was unable to get in. The emperor's attitude was so obvious that it made Empress Gu feel more and more happy, while Concubine Zheng became more and more depressed.
despair.
The waves and undercurrents in the palace soon spread outside the palace.
The Third Prince and his party suffered an unprecedented blow, and all of them suddenly ceased to make any movement. The Prince's men should have been proud of their success, but instead they were unexpectedly low-key and calm.
A few days later, the emperor finally issued an order for the prince to return to the court. After this incident, the prince grew up rapidly. He spoke and acted more cautiously than before, and he also seemed extra steady. He really had the temperament of a prince.
style.
The prince's change made the emperor very satisfied. The originally wavering mind has completely settled down. It is indeed a pity that the king of a country is a little mediocre, but as long as he is kind-hearted and good at using people, he can be regarded as a good monarch. If the throne falls to that
Waiting in the hands of people with sinister thoughts and ruthless means, it will be the disaster of the unstable people!
In this case, it may be a long time before the third prince's ban is lifted...
The direction of the Sacred Heart was very clear, and the situation inside and outside the court became increasingly obvious. The ministers who originally relied on the third prince almost unanimously chose to keep a low profile and be wise to protect themselves. Many of them quickly changed the direction of the trend and went to the side of the prince.
Zheng Guogong's Mansion is an iron-clad Three Princes Party, so of course it will not be easily shaken. But the situation is so pessimistic, and everyone feels heavy in their hearts.
Compared with the low pressure in Duke Zheng's mansion, everyone in Duke Ding's mansion even walked a lot more briskly. There was one exception, and that was Mrs. Zheng. When the third prince was fined and grounded, Mrs. Zheng was not too young.
So many feelings. But after hearing about Concubine Zheng's situation in the palace, she felt depressed and depressed.
No matter what, she is her biological sister. The bond of brotherhood that is bound by blood can never be extinguished. But this worry is never suitable to be revealed in front of everyone. She can only feel worried secretly...
Ye Qinglan spent a lot of time with Mrs. Zheng every day, and gradually became aware of Mrs. Zheng's low mood. After thinking for a while, she figured out the reason. She comforted Mrs. Zheng privately: "Mother-in-law, don't worry about the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is in the palace.
I have been running the business for many years and I am deeply favored by the emperor. Even if there are some ups and downs, it will never be a serious problem."
Mrs. Zheng nodded silently, but her brows were still slightly frowned.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Are you worried about Zheng Guogong's palace?"
Mrs. Zheng is full of worries, and it is not easy to talk to her husband and children. After all, the Gu family and the Zheng family have strong political stances. It is okay to think about some things in your heart, but you can never say them out. In front of Ye Qinglan, it is too much.
With this layer of scruples, he naturally sighed: "These days, the situation in Zheng Guogong's mansion must be difficult. Unfortunately, my status is embarrassing, and it is inconvenient to even go back to visit..."
Caught between her mother's family and her husband's family, Mrs. Zheng is indeed in a difficult situation.
Ye Qinglan sighed and said sincerely: "It's really inconvenient to go back. Even if my father-in-law doesn't mind and allows you to go back for a visit, what can you say to your uncle and aunt when you see them? The situation is so obvious now. The third prince is banned in the prince's house.
In the palace, the imperial concubine has also been neglected in the palace. My uncle and the others must also feel uncomfortable. You are the prince's biological aunt, and now is the time when you are proud of your glory. Even if you want to comfort them in your heart, but once you see them,
They will definitely feel bad about it. It would be better not to see him."
How could Mrs. Zheng not know these truths?
But the reason is one thing, but the emotion cannot pass this test, and she is still thinking about it. Mrs. Zheng said sadly: "The third sister cannot leave the palace at will, and it is inconvenient for me to go back. At this time, only the second sister can go back
The government has taken a look." The second sister she mentioned was Ye Qinglan's eldest aunt Zheng.
Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was in a gloomy mood, Ye Qinglan wanted to cheer her up and said with a smile: "Yesterday in the palace examination, my eldest brother won the second grade of Jinshi. There will be a wedding banquet in the house for a day. I have received the notice and will go back to my parents' house tomorrow to congratulate her. Arrive.
I met with my eldest aunt at some time and asked privately about the situation at Duke Zheng's mansion. I will tell you when I get back."
Mrs. Zheng's brows instantly widened: "That's okay." As expected, her daughter-in-law is the most considerate. If it is not convenient to go back to her parents' home to visit, it would be good to ask a few questions.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled.
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while and then smiled and said: "It is really a happy event that your eldest brother has won the Jinshi. Let Xinian go back with you tomorrow to congratulate you. The congratulatory gifts are also more grand, and I will add two more as usual. After all, this is your natal family.
My brother, this gift is too shabby, and it will bring disgrace to you and Xinian."
Ye Qinglan was naturally grateful that her mother-in-law was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she responded with a smile.
The next day, after the couple packed up, they got on the carriage and went to Changyuan Bo's Mansion.
The factions of the Ye family are not obvious. If we look at it in detail, the faction of the third prince is more favored in the court. However, after all, they are not direct relatives, and the impact this time is not great. Therefore, such a happy event as Ye Yuanzhou's passing the Jinshi examination
, it was still a lively event. Most of the relatives and friends were invited, and the Changhe Hall was packed with people talking and laughing.
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian arrived not too early. As soon as they entered Changhe Hall, before they could say hello to their parents, they were surrounded by relatives and friends who greeted them enthusiastically.
…
Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. This can be seen from this.
Before Ye Qinglan came out of the palace, she was an insignificant concubine with three wives. Whenever there was a social occasion, it was not her turn to be in the spotlight. After she got married, everything suddenly rose to the top. No matter which house she went to as a guest or entertainer, no one dared to neglect it. Nowadays,
The crown prince's position was secure, and the Duke Dingguo's mansion, as the crown prince's maternal wife, also became famous. She, the direct grandson-daughter-in-law of the Duke Dingguo's mansion, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
However, Ye Qingning, Zheng Junyan and his wife, who were accustomed to being praised by the stars in the past, were a little embarrassed today. Standing next to Mrs. Zheng, no one came up to talk.
Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qinglan with a smile on his lips from a distance, and couldn't tell what he was feeling.
The two sisters had a very good relationship in the boudoir, and they had frequent and close contacts after they got married. But after all, Ye Qingning was the eldest daughter of the first wife, and she had been proud since she was a child. She naturally felt more superior to Ye Qinglan.
Feeling. Even if Ye Qinglan marries into the Dingguo Palace, Ye Qingning, the eldest grandson-in-law of the Zheng Guo Palace, is still very confident. But now, with the illustrious glory of the third prince being placed under house arrest by the princelings, the momentum of the Zheng Guo Palace and the Dingguo Palace has already
Different. This can be seen from everyone's reaction.
In the past, she would have been the one surrounded and flattered by everyone...
Ye Qinglan had already noticed Ye Qingning's figure. After smiling and greeting everyone one by one, she immediately walked over and shouted with a smile: "Sixth sister, you and your brother-in-law came back earlier than me today." The attitude was the same.
As usual, it's intimate and casual.
Ye Qingning, however, felt a little uncomfortable because of the scene just now, and gave a slightly cold hum.
However, Ye Qinglan seemed not to notice Ye Qingning's coldness and still smiled warmly: "Why didn't you bring Brother Heng back today? I haven't seen him since the Chinese New Year. I have been thinking about him so much!"
After the child was one month old, he was officially named Zheng Heng, and his nickname was Heng Geer.
Mentioning his precious son, Ye Qingning had a smile on his face: "Brother Heng is still young. I'm afraid he will be frightened if he is brought to a crowded place, so I didn't bring him out." When the conversation started, it was natural to feel awkward and uncomfortable.
Then they dispersed, and asked Ye Qinglan with concern: "It's been a year since you got married. Isn't there still any movement in your stomach?"
Ye Qinglan hummed with some regret, lowered her voice and said: "Kui Shui came as normal last month, and this month's little day will be in a few days."
Ye Qingning lowered his voice and laughed: "Maybe there will be good news this month."
Ye Qinglan smiled nonchalantly and changed the subject: "Sixth sister, how are you doing these days?" Some things were clearly laid out, and it would be awkward not to mention them.
"The matters in the court have not affected our daily life yet, but they don't have much impact." Ye Qinglan asked so directly and calmly that Ye Qingning couldn't hide it, so he simply told the truth: "However, my grandparents and parents-in-law are not in a good mood.
That's great. It's not easy for a junior to smile all day long. Besides, it's not welcome to go to other houses like this. I simply don't go anywhere, just stay in the yard, accompanying Heng every day.
Brother, it’s quite peaceful.”
He has already said that he is not welcome when walking around Beppu, which shows that life in Zheng Guogong's palace is really not easy.
Seeing Ye Qingning pretending to be relaxed, Ye Qinglan felt a little uncomfortable. But at this time, any words of comfort seemed empty and tasteless, so it would be better to say nothing at all.
Ye Qinglan did not say a word, but silently held Ye Qingning's hand.
Ye Qingning's palms felt warm, and that little warmth quickly spread to his heart.
