Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 659
How could it be possible for an abandoned concubine from the Eastern Palace to remarry in the palace?

At first glance, it sounds like a fantasy, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible with the method of the eldest princess.

"I asked you to make a kiss for her, but I didn't ask you to make such a good one for her!"

How could Xu Yunjiao agree to such a good thing.

"Back when she married into the East Palace, what a ostentation, what a spectacle! I don't want her to show off again!"

"My sister Yan hasn't been found yet, so I can't let her take all the good things!"

The eldest princess looked at her quietly: "I don't want this or that, so how can you hold her back?"

Xu Yunjiao was taken aback for a moment, and lost her momentum in an instant: "What's the point of holding her?"

The eldest princess smiled: "This girl has a calm personality and a delicate mind, plus she has the crown prince behind her—"

"What?" Xu Yunjiao was shocked by this sentence, "The crown prince supports her? Didn't the crown prince break up with her long ago?"

The eldest princess shook her head: "Although the crown prince simply abandoned her, the food and clothing supplies are still as usual, and he even rewarded her with a lot of money before leaving the palace—"

She stared at her daughter and said earnestly: "Jiaojiao, whether a man treats a woman well or not doesn't depend on what he says or what he does. Whatever he says or does can be used to deceive a woman." You, it depends on whether he is willing to pay you and give you benefits when the relationship between the two is at its worst. Between people, you can forget what you have said, and what you have done Things can be changed, love is lingering, and vows of eternal love can neither be seen nor touched, only real benefits are really held in your hands for your use."

As he spoke, he snorted slightly, "You said he was nice to you, so what real benefits did he give you?"

"Mother—" Seeing that the topic had changed to Zhao Ziyi, Xu Yunjiao immediately elongated her voice and said coquettishly, "Aren't you talking about a little girl? Why does she have the support of the prince?"

The eldest princess sighed in her heart.

I know what my daughter is like best.

Back then she had no hesitation in wanting to marry into Zhao's residence, and now she doesn't listen to any advice, she really doesn't shed tears when she sees the coffin.

Or, let her suffer enough.

The eldest princess paused for a while, and Xu Yunjiao couldn't wait to ask again: "She is a waste princess, how can the prince care about her life?"

"Say you're stupid, you're really stupid." The eldest princess straightened her face, "Look, although she has left the East Palace, the crown prince has arranged for her the food and clothing for the rest of her life. She paid? The shops, silver, servants, chariots and horses that belonged to her originally were taken away by her intact, is this a real benefit?"

Xu Yunjiao curled her lips: "Isn't it just money, who is short of this money! How much money can be spent on food and clothing, isn't this just a drop in the bucket for the royal family?"

"Of course not." The eldest princess shook her head, "You don't care about the court, so naturally you don't know the difficulties in the palace. Xiliang has been fighting for so long these years, and there was a natural disaster in the whole country last year, and the tax revenue of the treasury is not as good as every year. , but from the palace to the common people, money is needed everywhere, and there is no money anywhere. Tell me, in such a tight situation, the prince is not willing to owe Wei girl, what does that mean?"

"So what, she took the money to seek refuge with her natal family."

"This is quite different." The eldest princess broke up with her and reasoned: "Money and power, the two have always been interdependent. If you have money, you will have power; if you have power, you will have money; and if you have power, you will have money; When a person has money and power, he can form his own power, and with his own power, he can do whatever he wants. From the house to the harem, from the officialdom to the temple, nothing has been more like this since ancient times.”

Xu Yunjiao was confused.

Isn't it just Zhao Xiwei, why is it involved in major political affairs again.

When the eldest princess saw her expression, she knew that she didn't understand what she meant at all.

I don't know what sin I did to give birth to such a stupid daughter.

Pressing the feeling of displeasure, the eldest princess said as if teaching a three-year-old child: "Simply put, a man who treats you well is to give you money, give you power, let you gain power, and pave the way for you step by step. Just like Wei girl, if she doesn't have so much money in her hand, what will she use to bribe the servants in the house? If she doesn't have a shop outside, what will she use to confront you head-on?"

"Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when she just accepted her relatives and returned home, she had no money and no power. The queen mother just sent a eunuch over, scaring her so much that she couldn't sleep, and she begged me for help. How dare you flirt with you like this? Why do you dare to cry when you are upset now? In the final analysis, it is because she has confidence now. And who gave this confidence, it is the prince. "

"It's said that hitting a snake hits seven inches. If you want her to obey you, you must know how to pinch her seven inches."

The more Xu Yunjiao listened, the more jealous she became: "Then how can I pinch her seven inches?" Turning her eyes, she thought, "Mom, why don't you find some people and spread the news on the street that day? Alright. I don't believe that the prince will treat her well even if her reputation is ruined."

"It's not necessary." The eldest princess denied this plot, and even ruthlessly exposed her fantasy, "If a man really likes a woman, he won't care about her reputation. , but which emperor have you ever seen stay away from female sex? If you make a fuss about this kind of thing, there is no other benefit except to make you look stupid."

"What about mother's opinion?"

The eldest princess said calmly: "Since she is so destined to be with Prince Jiang Xia, why don't we help her?"

After talking for a long time, I turned to this point again.

Xu Yunjiao looked at her mother in surprise: "Are you really planning to let her marry into the palace?"

The eldest princess neither affirmed nor denied: "It's just an excuse to talk about kissing. With this excuse, one will cut off the prince's thoughts on her, and two, you will get the reputation of a loving mother. Third, if she If there is such a good fortune to climb up again, then as her aunt, wouldn't you also follow the glory? People can't say that you teach daughters well? Where can you find such a good thing that kills three birds with one stone? As for her If you don’t want to, it’s better to say, I’ll go and talk to the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother to give her a chastity archway, then she will never be able to marry for the rest of her life, she is a smart person, don’t you know what the end of this is.”

Xu Yunjiao remembered something when she heard it, she rummaged under the pillow twice, and took out a square name card: "I sent Miss Wei back yesterday, the name card of the two servants."

The eldest princess frowned when she saw it: "This is a famous card from the palace, you take this." Her face darkened, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't dare." Seeing her mother's expression, Xu Yunjiao hurriedly explained, "I originally wanted to ruin her reputation, but after being teased by my mother, I felt that this was not good. I couldn't shoot myself in the foot with a rock. Do it." She put the name card in her mother's hand, and said in a low tone, "You don't know, before Miss Wei got married, the prince of Jiang Xia gave her a small carving bow, I'm afraid it's still there today. She's pressing the bottom of the box. We just need to bring these two things to the prince and figure out her purpose, won't that be the case?"

The eldest princess understood instantly, and her face became even more ugly: "What nonsense, your mother is the eldest princess, your grandmother is the queen mother, and you are also half a descendant of the royal family. How can you learn from those housewives and engage in such unscrupulous things? means."

"Mother..." Xu Yunjiao opened her mouth, thinking that you want to marry her, isn't this also a means?
The eldest princess was so angry that she really wanted to slap this idiot: "It's an upright way for me to propose marriage to her, and it's also a reasonable arrangement. Even if it doesn't work out, it won't completely offend someone and form a grudge. You do this If you fail, you will offend the prince completely, do you know that? She is the prince's woman, you take these evidences and go over to let the prince know that his woman has thoughts about other men, which is equivalent to seeing him face to face Joke, do you think he will thank you? You angered him, have you ever thought about what will happen to you?"

Xu Yunjiao was stunned: "But..."

"But what is it? You want to say that you have my backing and the queen mother's backing, don't you?" The eldest princess's face was clouded, "No matter how strong the queen mother is, she will only be the queen mother, and no matter how weak the prince is, he will also be the future prince. Like our family The most taboo thing is to stand on the wrong team. Why did I agree to let you marry him when I was obviously not optimistic about Zhao Ziyi? It was because he was not on both sides. For people like us, as long as we don’t participate in party struggles, as long as the Queen Mother and the emperor are always If we maintain a balanced relationship, we will have countless glory and wealth, but if one party loses power and the balance is broken, we will be the first to be pushed out as scapegoats."

Xu Yunjiao's face suddenly turned pale.

The eldest princess continued: "Miss Wei has been robbed of her status. What did Zhao Ziyi say as a father? You see how calm he is. And look at yourself. Sister Wei has only been back for three days. You just jump out and make troubles, let’s just make trouble in the inner house, and even want to make trouble in front of the prince. Are you trying to cause us to be liquidated by the new emperor in the future?"

"I didn't, how dare I!" Xu Yunjiao also heard the seriousness of the matter, and hastily defended, "Didn't I want to discuss it with my mother? If my mother thinks it's not good, then I definitely don't dare to do it. , I was just thinking, is there a better way to pinch her seven inches..."

"It's still seven inches away!" The Eldest Princess looked more serious, "If you move over here, you will send the whole family's life into the hands of the Crown Prince! That's not a lord to mess with, not as easy to talk to as Your Majesty."

She tapped Xu Yunjiao's forehead hard with her fingers, "You, you! I have dragged you so much for nothing!"

"Mother, I was wrong." Xu Yunjiao was angry and ashamed, "I was annoyed by this girl, I didn't think so much..."

"If you know you're wrong, restrain yourself." The eldest princess snorted coldly and interrupted her, "If she wants to take your power, you let her take it. Anyway, you are heavy now, and it's not convenient for you to handle such a thing." Everyone's business."

Xu Yunjiao became startled: "If she wins, then I will be crushed by her."

"You!" The eldest princess glared at her angrily, "I said earlier that her power comes from the Eastern Palace. As long as she wants to suppress you, she will still suppress you without being in charge. If you don't hold her Before seven inches, don't fight against her again!"

"However, it's so easy to pinch her seven inches!" Xu Yunjiao looked aggrieved, "I still have to help her arrange a marriage, it's up to me to decide whether it will work or not, I'm not marrying for her Clothes? I can't stand..."

"What's unbearable?"

She patiently worked as a military adviser for her daughter, and analyzed one by one: "When she was in the East Palace, she was able to be liked by the crown prince so much; when she returned to her mother's house, she was also liked by the grandmother, which shows that she must have something special. Such a person you The more you get in trouble with her, the more you will suffer in the end. Besides, you are her aunt, she is a concubine, no matter how strong she is, this family is still yours after all, you just let her take care of it for a while , I am happy to be a hand-off shopkeeper, isn't it?"

"Let her take care of it for a while, so I have to wait for her to allocate money for my food and clothing in the future?" Xu Yunjiao's eyes are full of injustice, "And my sister Yan, you don't know, she On the first day back, he just pinched Sister Yan's chin like this, and said harsh words in front of me, saying that he would crush Sister Yan to death!"

The eldest princess pressed her eyebrows in agitation: "Idiot, if she really wanted to crush you to death, she would have crushed you to death long ago!"

"Mom!" Xu Yunjiao's eyes were full of disbelief.

Seeing her daughter's ignorance, the eldest princess shook her head: "Do you think that she is just a useless princess, and it is impossible to fight and kill again?"

"Of course." Xu Yunjiao said without thinking, "She is just relying on the power of the prince, but it is impossible for the prince to reach out to Zhao's inner house."

"Then what if she has the prince's secret guards by her side?" The eldest princess glanced at her daughter.

"How is it possible?" Xu Yunjiao was astonished, "Then she is no different from Wufei? If this is the case, why does the prince go to all lengths to drive her back to her mother's house?"

"Are you sure it's because you are rushing, not as a last resort?" The eldest princess looked out the door, her tone was as calm as a lake, "I heard that when she was leaving the palace, the prince personally chased her to the Suzaku gate to see her off. The prince He has always been calm, and has never been so impulsive. To make such a move can only prove one thing. He abolished Sister Wei for some unavoidable reason. Maybe it was for acting for everyone to see, maybe it was for Avoiding some unnecessary dangers, or perhaps, is just a harbinger of the coming storm.”

"Ah?" Xu Yunjiao couldn't figure out what was going on, she couldn't help but asked in a daze: "Then what is the reason?"

"I can't tell." The eldest princess sighed for a long time, her expression suddenly a little dazed, "Maybe there are all the above reasons." She came back to her senses, looked at her daughter firmly, and said in a dignified tone: "So if he just In order to test something, they will definitely arrange experts to follow Sister Wei, whoever jumps out first will be the first to lose his head, do you understand?"

"This..." Xu Yunjiao never imagined that there were so many conspiracies hidden in the matter of a disused concubine returning to her natal family.

She had a half-understanding of these points, but after half-understanding, more confusion flooded in, and the harder she tried to figure it out, the more she couldn't figure it out.

Annoyed, yet grateful.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziyi is not this kind of person. After being married to him for so many years, apart from not being very close, he has never had so many things for her to think about.

The eldest princess said again: "So if she really wants to deal with you, she doesn't need to fight with you to play tricks at all. She is obviously favored by Zhao Ziyi, and secretly has the protection of the prince. If she just lets the secret guard take action, what can you do? Could it be that Zhao Ziyi will fight against Donggong for you? So just listen to me and rest well until the baby is born, do you understand?"
