Concubine Wei returned to her bedroom, kicked off her shoes and leaned angrily on the soft couch. She put her snow-white slender feet together under her hips. Her graceful figure was exquisite, but her charming face was covered with frost, even
It's ugly.
Just now at Princess Jinyang's side, she choked quite a bit...
I have never noticed that a gentle, sweet, intelligent little girl has such a venomous tongue, and her sharp teeth can cut out the heart with every word.
She almost lost her face at that time.
Not only is she angry now, but she also has a headache: This girl is obviously not a soft-spoken person. If she really takes back the Wei family and is willful and stubborn, won't she mess up the Wei family into a mess? Even if she can get more.
Political resources have enabled Jingzhao Weishi to reach a new level and become one of the best among the Guanzhong clan. But if this girl is unwilling to cooperate with the Wei family to ask for resources from His Majesty Li Er, what should we do?
I feel angry and worried at the same time.
There was the sound of footsteps outside, and the maid came in to report: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince Ji, is requesting an audience outside the palace."
"Oh, let him in."
"Here."
Not long after, King Ji Li Shen strode into the palace and saw Concubine Wei leaning on the soft couch with an extremely lazy look. Under the palace skirt, there were undulating mountains and convex lines, and a pair of snow-white bare feet were slanted together.
On the side, my heart felt hot, and I quickly lowered my head and saluted, "My son is here to visit my mother."
"snort!"
Concubine Wei was a little dissatisfied. She waved her hand casually, motioning for Li Shen to sit down, and said angrily: "When you leave the palace, you are like a wild horse that has escaped the reins. You spend all day having fun and enjoying yourself, but you still have me as a mother in your heart?
"
Li Shen was a little embarrassed and said with an apologetic smile: "What my mother said, even if my son reaches the end of the world, he is still your son. How can he forget his mother? There is no peace in Beijing recently, and his son does not go out to play. He stays in the palace all day.
Zhong, why don’t you take some time to see you?”
He has indeed become a little wild in the past two years, but it is not his fault. A prince has been restrained in the palace for more than ten years, studying and learning etiquette according to the rules. Once the palace is established, he can move out of the palace and be free and unsupervised.
How can you not let yourself go?
Concubine Wei was still unhappy, and she nodded with her green-white fingers: "You are a heartless person. You can build your own house and build your own teeth freely, but you don't care that I am lying low in the palace and taking the blame everywhere."
His face looked very ugly.
At this time, the maid served tea cakes, and Li Shen waved her hand away. Looking at Concubine Wei's face, she asked curiously: "Mother is in a bad mood?"
"Humph, I'll be damned if it gets better!"
Concubine Wei snorted angrily. She didn't care about the image of those virtuous and virtuous people in front of her son.
Li Shen became more and more curious: "Is there anyone in this palace who can make my mother angry?"
After the funeral of Queen Wende, His Majesty Li Er did not appoint a new queen. The matters in the palace have been discussed and handled by Concubine Wei, Concubine Yang, Concubine Yan, and Concubine Zheng, which went smoothly. Among the concubines, only Concubine Wei was
Concubine Yang, who was canonized as a noble concubine, gave birth to Li Ke, and Concubine Yan, who gave birth to Li Zhen, were all of a lower level, not to mention Concubine Zheng who gave birth to no heirs, as well as concubines such as Wei Zhaorong and Xu Jieyu who had lower status.
…
It can be said that although Concubine Wei was not appointed as the queen, her status was the first in the harem. Concubine Yang was deeply loved by her father, and Xu Jieyu had a gentle and quiet temperament. How could she be provoked for no reason?
Concubine Wei sat up straight on the soft couch, her majestic breasts rippling, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Besides the one in Jinyang who is so pampered by His Majesty, who else can there be?"
Li Shen became more and more incredulous: "Si Zi provokes you? There must be some other reason."
Although Princess Jinyang is smart and smart, she is definitely not mean-spirited. Instead, she is gentle, virtuous, and very kind-hearted. Whenever the ministers in the court are scolded by their father, Princess Jinyang always corrects them. Her reputation is extremely good.
Concubine Wei's eyebrows suddenly stood up, she glared at her son and said angrily: "What's that look in your eyes? Could it be that your mother and I are unruly and mean, and we went to bully her motherless child? Humph, if that's the case, let alone His Majesty's disobedience
, even Fang Jun is definitely not done with me! That little girl kept calling her brother-in-law affectionately, maybe there was some shameful dirty talk between the two of them behind their backs..."
"Mother, be careful what you say!"
Li Shen was frightened and quickly stopped him.
Are these words something you, a concubine, can easily say? Not to mention that the emperor will definitely blame him after he returns to the capital, but Fang Jun just refuses to give up. Then the stick may not dare to do anything to you, a noble concubine.
, but it is not difficult to find a reason to beat his son.
The key is that with your words, even if I get beaten, no one will sympathize with me. Instead, a lot of people will shout "well beaten"...
Concubine Wei also knew that what she said was a bit excessive, but she was so angry that she couldn't help complaining: "It's not my fault for talking nonsense. You said that Wei Zhengju is versatile in both civil and military affairs and has a dignified appearance. He is a rare young man in Guanzhong.
Junyan, who is a disciple of a wealthy family like Jingzhao Wei, how come he doesn't fall in the eyes of Princess Jinyang? There must be something fishy in this."
Li Shen finally figured it out, widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Mother, did you go to Sizi to mention the marriage?"
Concubine Wei hummed and said angrily: "Mom, this is for her own good. Who would have expected that instead of being grateful, she would actually retaliate against my mother with her sharp tongue. I'm really pissed off."
Li Shen was almost speechless, stamped his feet and complained: "Mother! Last time you mentioned the marriage between Wei Zhengju and Si Zi in the palace, what happened? Have you forgotten? At that time, the second roommate dared to give Jingzhao
Wei Shi made a show of force, and now he has won the Battle of Hexi, and his achievements and reputation have skyrocketed. When he returns to Beijing, he will never give up with the Wei family!"
He knew that his mother was so interested in the marriage between Wei Zhengju and Si Zi that it must be the Wei family who were behind her to instigate it. It was pity that his mother was just beautiful, but not very smart, so she was always used as a weapon by her mother's family...
Somewhat sad.
Concubine Wei didn't think much about it, curled her lips, snorted disdainfully, and said: "Although Fang Jun was lucky enough to win the Battle of Hexi, this time he went to the Western Regions and faced an enemy several times stronger. It is absolutely impossible to win again.
Moreover, the Western Region is vast and the Gobi Desert is endless and unobstructed. Once defeated, we will be hunted down by the cannibals one after another, and it will be difficult to return to Chang'an alive."
Li Shen thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to make sense. However, he still felt that something was wrong with this matter. He frowned and asked, "Is it the Wei family's intention to discuss marriage with Sizi, or is it the mother's own decision?"
Concubine Wei said: "My family doesn't know. Last time it was so self-defeating that my family was scared to death. This time I will inform my family after I have settled the matter and give them a surprise."
In her opinion, the rewards of marrying Princess Jinyang are great enough to make her, a woman who has been in the palace for many years, deeply valued by the family. Even if the family becomes prosperous and becomes a world-class family in the future, she will not be able to gain renown in the world.
All thanks to her.
Li Shen, who had always been timid, almost laughed out loud now, and asked: "Then what mother said about Fang Jun's expedition to the Western Regions will be defeated, and it will be difficult for him to return to Chang'an alive? You came up with it yourself?"
Or where did you hear it?"
Concubine Wei thought for a while and said: "Mrs. Taichangqing came to the palace a few days ago, and she seemed to have mentioned this matter in front of me..."
Taichangqing is Wei Ting...
Li Shen asked anxiously: "What exactly did she say?"
Seeing that her son was a little aggressive, Concubine Wei was a little angry and glared at her son angrily. However, she also came back to her senses and tried to think back, saying: "I seem to have said something like that, saying that there is no peace in the court now.
Maybe some people can't see Fang Jun making such great achievements over and over again... Oops! Could it be that someone wants to murder Fang Jun?"
Although she was born into a noble family, even though she was a woman, the education she received since childhood was not comparable to that of ordinary men. She had also read several history books. It was really hard to understand the intrigues in the court that eventually extended to the outer court and even the battlefield.
It's very familiar.
She just didn't pay attention to this point before and was too lazy to think about whether there was any connection, so she ignored it. Now that her son reminded her, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
So pigs are not stupid, but lazy...
Li Shen was the most timid and fearful person. In the past, when his brothers were fighting for the throne, he would stay far away to avoid being affected and forced to take sides. Now that he was thinking about how unusual the whole thing was, his face turned pale with fright.
He said in a trembling voice: "No one knows whether there is such a thing or not. However, if the thief really has such evil thoughts and does not keep the secret, the first unlucky ones will be my mother and me..."
After all, Concubine Wei's approach of bringing up old matters again without any scruples about Fang Junzhi's revenge is really too suspicious...
Concubine Wei also changed her color, suddenly stood up from the soft couch, stamped her feet and said, "What should I do?"
You can't go to His Highness the Crown Prince and say, "I just heard a gossip from Mrs. Taichangqing, so I thought Fang Jun might not come back, so I'm a little unscrupulous," right?
