After listening to Concubine Wei's consolation, King Zhan didn't bother to say anything else.
"Humph, it means you are kind-hearted and always say good things to them and ask for favors, but I don't see anything good coming from you."
"Your Majesty, all my good fortune is due to you and your children. For this reason, I am willing to be a good person again."
Concubine Wei looked extremely affectionate, which made King Zhan very satisfied.
All the huge resentments were almost gone with her.
It was this trick every time, but it trapped King Zhan for decades.
And the incident that Concubine Wei mentioned happened decades ago.
At that time, Prince Zhan's Mansion was at its peak.
King Lao Zhan saved the late emperor's life, so he received special attention.
In addition, a pair of children have reached the age where they should get married, so the Dukes' and Earls' mansions in Beijing have become a favorite in the eyes of King Lao Zhan.
Families like them always look for someone who is equally matched.
After picking and choosing, I chose Rongchang Earl's Mansion and Shunyi Earl's Mansion.
They are brothers from the same mother and the same clan.
Because both of them had outstanding military exploits, after the separation of their families, the late emperor specially approved two count residences.
This kind of thing involving two masters in one discipline is the first of its kind in Shengjing City.
Compared to Prince Zhan's Mansion, it's not much worse.
Her daughter, Princess Rongkang, is arrogant and has not been able to look down on anyone in these years. King Lao Zhan loves her very much, so she is not in a hurry even though she is getting older.
On the contrary, the then crown prince, now King Zhan, needed to pass on the family line as soon as possible, so the old King Zhan made a marriage for his son to be the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Shunyi.
He has a humble temperament, beautiful appearance, an extraordinary family background, and is about the same age.
Such a good marriage is like a match made in heaven.
After entering the palace, the crown prince and concubine of Prince Zhan were also filial and respectful, and the crown prince and his wife still lived a loving life.
Unexpectedly, at a family banquet, King Lao Zhan fell in love with the legitimate son of the Earl of Rongchang who came to visit.
No matter what, I have to marry my daughter to Princess Rongkang.
The two Earls' Houses are blood relatives with broken bones and connected tendons, so they are naturally happy to see this matter come to fruition.
Especially the Shunyi Earl's Mansion family, who also helped to bring many people together.
In the end, Princess Rongkang actually made a marriage agreement with the legitimate son of Earl Rongchang.
This is a good talk in Shengjing City.
It looks like a perfect situation for the three strong forces to join forces.
But who knew there would be such a big flaw in it.
The legitimate son of Earl Rongchang, whom King Lao Zhan favored, was actually caught having sex with his concubine during the period of filial piety. King Lao Zhan was so angry that he couldn't breathe and vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
His body, which was already at a loss for saving the late emperor, was now even more dying.
The Earl of Rongchang Mansion actually wanted to suppress the matter and put in all the good words to the Prince Zhan Mansion.
It's a pity that Princess Rongkang is a person who doesn't care about the sand in her eyes, so she made this matter known to the whole world.
King Lao Zhan was so angry that he refused to talk about the marriage and even threatened that the third generation of the Earl of Rongchang would not get involved.
This commotion turned what was originally a good thing into a bad thing.
The relationship with the Earl's Mansion of Shunyi was also at loggerheads.
The poor imperial concubine, who had already married into Prince Zhan's palace at that time, was naturally implicated.
Even if the sun sheds tears, it cannot hold the heart of my husband.
In addition, Princess Rongkang also suffered a lot in front of her younger brother, which made the prince even more disgusted with the prince's concubine.
The appearance of Concubine Wei turned this originally harmonious marriage into a relationship of resentment.
The Earl's Palace of Shunyi felt sorry for their daughter's hardship in Prince Zhan's Palace, so they sent someone to ask for a divorce.
Prince Zhan's Mansion originally agreed, but then it was discovered that she was already two months pregnant.
The Crown Princess was reluctant to abort the child, so she had no choice but to stay in Prince Zhan's Mansion.
And because of the decline of the Rongchang Earl's Mansion, her mother's family gradually became lonely.
Decades have passed, but it is not as depressed as the Earl of Rongchang Mansion, and there are no outstanding figures among the descendants.
My mother's family lost their confidence, and because of this incident, they were treated coldly in the house.
During Princess Zhan's pregnancy, Prince Zhan completely ignored her.
Later, she was favored by Concubine Wei in all kinds of ways, and the eldest daughter Yu Wenjie was born after that.
Ever since he landed, he has never received preferential treatment from his father or even the entire royal family.
In addition, the Crown Princess also felt that what her cousin was doing was ugly, so she just tolerated it.
I don't want the relationship to get too tense.
As a result, Yu Wenjie developed a temperament that was gentle and humble but lacked the courage to resist.
Later, when she was sent to the palace by her biological father to marry him, she did not show any resistance other than crying.
However, the tolerance of the Shunyi Earl's Palace and the retreat of Princess Zhan made the people in the palace become more and more pushy.
Since then, Prince Zhan was unwilling to even come to the courtyard of her, the crown prince's concubine.
Instead, she stayed in Concubine Wei's yard and gave birth to three fat boys one after another.
Until King Lao Zhan died, there were rumors outside that he doted on his concubines and destroyed his wives.
Seeing that his good reputation outside was damaged, Prince Zhan had no choice but to come to the princess to force her to commit herself to him.
The purpose is nothing more than to give birth to a legitimate son who can protect his reputation.
Then there was the birth of Yu Wenjia, the so-called legitimate son of Prince Zhan.
Therefore, neither of these two siblings was treated attentively by King Zhan.
Therefore, there is no family relationship between father and son and father and daughter.
Even regarding the reputation of his legitimate son as a playboy, King Zhan turned a blind eye.
On the contrary, he felt that this would make his and Concubine Wei's son more mature.
Simply ridiculous.
Now, with the arrival of Prince Sandeng and Yu Wenjie, this old matter has been brought up again.
Many past events from the future have resurfaced.
In Prince Zhan's palace, Prince Zhan was fascinated by Concubine Wei.
And in the palace, the emperor who was doing favors for beauties was not idle either.
In Qian'an Hall, Dong Yuzhong walked in.
"Your Majesty, Quanfu, the head of the Inner Palace Department, has arrived."
"Well, ask him to come in."
"yes."
When Quan Fu, the head of the Inner Palace Department, saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and said.
"This slave is blessed to have met the emperor."
"Get flat."
"yes."
"I wonder why the emperor sent this slave to come?"
The emperor took one look at the full blessing and said in a good mood.
"Xidi has sent congratulatory gifts. I see that they are of good quality. I will pick out a few good ones and send them to each palace."
"Yes, I obey."
These matters were originally the responsibility of their inner court department, but the emperor did not speak, and no one dared to touch the congratulatory gifts.
But now that he has this order, he is quite happy to do such things to please the harem empress.
Before he could stop thinking, he heard the emperor continue to give instructions.
"Among the congratulatory gifts this time, there is a ruby, which is the most dazzling. I remember that the Inner Palace Department has many skilled craftsmen, so I thought carefully about how to use this gem to make an excellent phoenix crown."
When the word "Fengguan" came out, not to mention Quanfu, even Dong Yuzhong was a little surprised.
