When Marquis Zhenbei saw his daughter jumping back to the room after announcing the good news, he wailed in his heart.
He was like a tiger coming down the mountain, menacing and majestic, but he stumbled and rolled into the gutter with a clang.
Not only did he lose face, but he also wasted the majesty he had created with all his energy.
Emperor Ming Yuan's decree came late, and will only arrive at Zhenbeihou's residence tomorrow.
He was given the title of concubine, but he didn't bother to give her a title. He was given the title of concubine, which shows that he was perfunctory.
However, Hu Guangting was extremely happy and said that Concubine Hu was the best.
When Marquis Zhenbei saw his daughter happy, the unhappiness in his heart eased a lot, and he muttered: "It's not like I'm a queen, so what's there to be happy about?"
Hu Guangting said: "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei sighed, "You are not a fish, how can you know the pain of a fish? You will know in the future that the ladies in the harem will want to strangle you to death. Only if you are in the back position will you be stable."
"Father, are you trying to force the emperor to depose the queen? Just like when you thought I was going to marry the King of Chu and asked the Princess of Chu to give up the throne." Hu Guangting looked at him.
Marquis Zhenbei looked disgusted, "Your father is reckless but not stupid. Are Princess Chu and the Queen the same thing? Are the Chu family and Jinghou Mansion the same thing? I dare to offend Jinghou, but I dare not offend Chu Shoufu.
"
Hu Guangting smiled and said: "Father, are there any people you are afraid of? Aren't you not even afraid of the emperor?"
Marquis Zhenbei slowly walked over and sat down, "There is a kind of person called the Smiling Tiger. He is usually very tolerant. If you fart in front of him occasionally, he won't even say a word to you. Sometimes he even jokes with you.
But you have to decide how much credit you should give and how much fart you should give. For my contribution, I want to be the Princess of Chu. That’s fine! But to be the Queen is over the line! And there is another kind of person who is
Silent tiger, this kind of person usually keeps silent. If you go too far, he will just glance at you coldly, which is scary. But if you don't know how to restrain yourself and go too far, he will suddenly
I will pounce on you and chew you to pieces, and I will not give you any warning before I pounce on you."
Hu Guangting asked: "The former is the emperor? The latter is the chief assistant?"
"That's right!" the Marquis of Zhenbei said sadly, "So, actually I still don't like coming back to Beijing. There are lions and tigers everywhere. It's better to be in Zhenbei, with its vast land and arrogant bandits.
, they are all my land and my people. If it weren’t for the sake of earning some glory for our Hu family, if it weren’t for seeing your grandmother getting old, if it wasn’t for your marriage being delayed, I wouldn’t want to come back.”
Hu Guangting stepped forward and said coquettishly, "Father, you actually see it quite clearly."
"Daughter, don't you understand that your father's head is hidden in his waistband?" Zhenbei Hou said with a smile.
Hu Guangting looked at him and asked softly: "Some people outside say that you are using your power to blackmail. There are hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei troops behind you. They suspect that you want to rebel. Will you rebel?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at him strangely, "What kind of traitor can I be if I don't serve as a good minister?"
"But you are so arrogant. When you returned to the capital, you deliberately hid outside and did not come back. You asked the civil and military officials of the court to go to the city gate to greet you twice. Then you were disrespectful to the emperor."
The Marquis of Zhenbei said domineeringly: "You don't understand now. What my father has accomplished is a great achievement, and as you said, there are hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei troops behind him. If I continue to behave obediently and well-behaved like a dog,
, on the contrary, it is easier for people to think that I am deep and tolerant, and the emperor also knows that I am asking for rewards and titles. If I ask for something, the emperor will at least be half relieved. If I have no desires or requests, the emperor will do everything possible to do it.
You plan to seize my military power, my daughter, you don’t understand this at all, so you are really not suitable to enter the palace."
Zhenbei Hou once again expressed his worries about her future.
Hu Guangting said: "I understand what these are for? I don't care about the affairs of the DPRK."
At the end, she said mischievously: "Women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics."
"Shameless!" Zhenbeihou immediately roared with a straight face.
Hu Guangting ran away with a smile.
After the concubine's decree goes down, everyone in the harem will definitely know about it.
The queen was dumbfounded at first.
She had never heard the emperor talk about this matter at all. The emperor did not discuss such a big matter with her as the queen.
The queen was so angry that she was half dead.
However, she was just angry at herself. The concubines came over to ask about the situation. In their words, they also said that she was very secretive and did not reveal the news to everyone in advance.
The queen also had to put on a dignified face and persuade her, saying that the harem had not selected a concubine for five years. Five years ago, three people were selected to enter the palace. The last concubine died. Strictly speaking, there had been no new concubines in the harem for a long time.
Now, we need to find a new person to replace him or something.
The concubine was very angry. Who needs new people? You need new people. It took so many years in the harem to get everyone to have wrinkles and compete fairly. Now suddenly there is a girl with a smooth and fair face. They are a bunch of old guys.
Where is my opponent?
The queen's heart was burning with raging flames, but she still had a smile on her face, "After entering the palace, we are all sisters. From now on, we must live in harmony and serve the emperor well. Okay, let's break up."
The queen has said this, and you ladies have no choice but to get up and leave.
The Queen used her last bit of strength to maintain her smile, and when they all walked out of the door, she was so angry that her mouth twisted, "The Emperor went too far this time, and he didn't even say hello to me in advance."
It is inevitable for the palace people to have a meal to comfort them. From the Marquis of Zhenbei to the Zhenbei Army, and then to the Emperor's helplessness, most of the Queen's anger was gone.
In fact, the queen did not dare to go to the emperor to tell her, because after Luo Guibin's case was vindicated, she had always felt guilty.
There was no evidence to prove that it was Luo Guibin who poisoned her, but she insisted that it was Luo Guibin and made a big fuss, which made the emperor rashly conclude the case, execute Luo Guibin, and destroy the Luo family.
And in these years, she has been ordering people to suppress Luo Guibi's children.
She didn't feel very guilty, but she heard that the emperor had a nightmare a few days ago and saw Luo Guifei coming to complain. She was also afraid that Luo Guifei would come to settle accounts with her. Therefore, she had been hiding whenever possible when something happened recently.
If you can't hide, just pretend to be sick.
Concubine Xian did not go to greet the queen today, nor did she ask about Concubine Hu.
She really... had a breath stuck in her throat, unable to come out or go down, her face was red and her heart was aching.
Compared to the Queen, she was often active on the side of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was also occasionally active on the side of the Supreme Emperor, so she learned that this time Concubine Hu entered the palace because Concubine Hu shamelessly begged for it.
Not long ago, she held Concubine Hu's hand and said that they would become a family in the future. The shy look on Concubine Hu's face was still vivid in her mind.
But who would have thought that the so-called family is this kind of family.
Pooh!
From a daughter-in-law to a fierce rival, Concubine Xian touched her sagging cheek flesh and said that Grandma Xi was really a liar. She was no longer young at all.
