I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 161
In one of the few intersections between the queen and Qu Lingxu, this 15-year-old girl left a deep impression on her every time. She escaped unscathed from the catastrophe of the disaster, and made those who plotted against her pay a heavy price, which shows that her mind is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary girls.Therefore, she was very curious what request this young girl would make to herself.Thinking of this, the gentle smile on the queen's face seemed to deepen, she just nodded slightly and said: "The princess has something to say, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is within the scope of my palace's ability, I will definitely agree to you."

"My daughter, I would like to thank the empress for her kindness." Saying so, Qu Lingxu gave another blessing, and then said softly with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but now my daughter's father is not in Beijing, and my mother is in misfortune again. , No one is in charge of the common affairs in the mansion, and the ministers really have no choice but to trouble the empress to be the masters." After explaining in this way, Qu Lingxu, under the curious eyes of the queen, made it clear that he wanted Jin Qufengyan to be his daughter-in-law. The idea was told to the Queen.

If the queen was just curious before, then she is completely surprised at the moment. Others don't know the grievances and resentments between Qu Fengyan and Qu Lingxu, but the queen knows the general idea, not to mention the years when she didn't make her mark. How much piecemeal torture Qu Fengyan's mother and son have given her overtly and secretly, even the fact that Mrs. Xu killed Mrs. Chen is enough for Qu Lingxu to remember and hate her for a lifetime. How could she take the initiative to help Qu Fengyan so kindly?I'm afraid there are many reasons that I don't know.

"Oh? How could the princess have such an idea?" The queen looked at Qu Lingxu with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Since ancient times, there have been differences in respect and inferiority. Unless the biological mother is promoted as a wife or step-wife, her children It is not allowed to break the rules and be promoted to be a daughter-in-law, the princess should understand this truth."

"My daughter understands." Qu Lingxu nodded docilely, and continued: "Father does not have a son, so long before the expedition, he brought the only son, Dingbang, under his mother's knees. They are twin sisters and brothers, and they were supposed to be a good couple, but it was delayed due to some reasons. My younger sister has loved His Royal Highness Ling since she was a child, and the imperial concubine also intended to promote this matter to have a closer kiss, but because of her sister's status, It took a long time to settle down. For this reason, my sister shed so many tears. The courtier really couldn't bear to see her sad, and she didn't want to hurt her sister's relationship for the sake of the so-called concubine. Please let the empress do it." Qu Lingxu's words are euphemistic, but the meaning is very clear, that is, Qu Fengyan has always wanted to marry Murong Li as the princess, and because of her status, she feels resentful towards Qu Lingxu , Repeatedly framed.However, as long as there is no open and secret fighting among the wealthy families, the queen will not care about these at all. What she cares about is the benefits that can be brought by marrying Qu Fengyan to Murongli as the princess.

What Qu Lingxu said is correct, Concubine Xu Gui did plan to make Qu Fengyan her daughter-in-law, so as to completely consolidate the power of Qu Liancheng, but that was only in the past, ever since the Xu clan successively worshiped in Qu Lingxu's hands After she never had the chance to become the wife of General Zhen Guo again, she gave up this idea. It is said that she has taken a fancy to the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and she plans to mention it to the emperor in the past few days.

It is a good choice for Murong Li to marry Qu Fengyan as her concubine, thus breaking her plan to win over Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. The key is to catch Concubine Xu by surprise. When the time comes, the expression on the other party's face will definitely be very exciting.

Thinking of this, the queen looked at Qu Lingxu with a little strangeness in her eyes. This seemingly weak and weak girl is smarter than she imagined. If she can be used by them, it will naturally be an excellent help. Otherwise, even if she takes the risk to solve it, she must not be allowed to marry anyone on the enemy side, because once she meets someone, she will definitely be a hundred times more difficult opponent than Concubine Xu.

After making up her mind, the queen gradually withdrew her thoughts, and said with a faint smile: "The princess is all about thinking about her sister's life, and she doesn't hesitate to be wronged for it. If I don't fulfill my wish, wouldn't it be too unkind, but... "The queen sized Qu Lingxu around with her faint eyes, and then asked: "The princess wants to help the second lady's marriage, but what plans does she have for her own marriage?"

The queen has been making wishful thinking about making Qu Lingxu the crown princess. Qu Lingxu is not surprised that she will have such a problem. Since she is not surprised, she has a countermeasure. He bowed and said respectfully: "Returning to your mother, the minister's daughter's mother has just passed away, and her father has lost another battle. The general's mansion is in troubled times. As the eldest daughter, the minister's daughter should keep filial piety for her mother and take care of the affairs of the house. get married."

"That being said, a woman's youth is so short, wouldn't it be a pity to waste it in her boudoir?" The Queen continued with a half-smile.

She had to figure out whether Qu Lingxu really wanted to be a filial piety for the Chen family, or whether she had other subordinates. After all, she had gone to Jiangling to treat Leng Yuanxun's wounds at great risk, even though she was ordered by the emperor and Huaiyang Hou. To entrust, but if you are not really concerned about Leng Yuanxun's safety, there are naturally many ways to refuse, and there is no need to really go.

Qu Lingxu guessed what the queen was thinking, and also understood that with the other party's temperament, it was impossible to directly ask her to marry the prince, so he looked at the other party's eyes more sincerely, and said sincerely: "Since the empress asked Since then, the courtiers did not dare to hide anything, so they had to tell the truth." Under the doubtful eyes of the queen, Qu Lingxu sighed faintly, and continued: "It is very common for a high-ranking family to have three wives and four concubines. Things, where there are many women, there are many right and wrong, the mother is not favored by the father, although she has the status of a concubine, but those concubines do not respect her, and they stumbling her from time to time, life is cautious and difficult In the end, she didn't even save her life. The courtiers didn't want to live like their mothers, so they didn't have much expectation for marriage. Even if they had to marry, they still wanted to marry in a small family. , You don’t have to live a life of fighting with me.”

Although what Qu Lingxu said was about Chen's situation, she spoke out the empress' heartfelt truth. If you want to say that the place with the most women in the world is the imperial palace, although the empress is the mother of the world, she is not favored by the emperor. , for so many years, is it not always a battle of wits and courage with Yingyingyanyan in the palace?

As for life and honor, if you are not careful, it will disappear and nothing will be left.

But ask yourself, if she had to choose again, she would still choose to be the emperor's wife instead of marrying an ordinary man.

What she wants is the highest power and honor in the world, not to live a peaceful life with a husband and a child.

However, many times, what you want in your heart is like a handful of sand in your hand. The tighter you hold it, the easier it is to lose it, so you have nothing.

Invisibly, there was a lot of emotion in her heart, which made the queen feel a little bit disappointed, but the years of experience in palace fighting made her develop a good habit of not showing emotions, so she was only slightly absent-minded, and soon her expression was normal. He smiled lightly and said, "Although that's the case, the Princess must also understand that with your status, you are destined to be unable to marry an ordinary man."

"The courtier understands, but many things cannot be forced. The courtier believes that no matter what she gets in the end, it is destined, and no one can force it." Given her current situation, she is not yet qualified to turn against the queen or fight against her. But according to Leng Yuanxun's plan, this situation will not last for too long, she just needs to delay for these days, and there will be no problem.

Taking a ten thousand step back, if she insists on not being the crown princess, the queen will not force her, because marrying a woman who is not interested in the crown prince and is too smart is definitely not a good thing for them.

The queen took a deep look at Qu Lingxu, trying to determine from her gaze whether the other party was lying, but Qu Lingxu responded with a frank look. Although the queen was a little helpless, the other party always responded appropriately and did not What is impolite, I can only say indifferently: "Since the princess intends to give the second lady a face, the news that she has been promoted as a daughter-in-law will be revealed by my own mouth during the Qianqiu Festival. As for the matter of marriage, I will also find out It is a suitable time to tell the emperor, presumably the emperor will not object."

Seeing that the queen had reached a consensus with him very tacitly, Qu Lingxu quickly got up to thank her, "On behalf of my sister, I would like to thank the queen for her kindness."

After exchanging perfunctory greetings like this, Qu Lingxu left Fengyi Palace with a lot of jewelry and brocades rewarded by the queen. The distance from Fengyi Palace to the gate of the palace is not close, even if she was sitting in a soft sedan chair, she still left. It was a full half an hour, but fortunately no one made any trouble during this period, she left the palace smoothly and got on the carriage back home.

From the moment she stepped into the palace gate, the string in Yunyi's mind was always tense, until she got into the carriage, she let out a long sigh of relief, covered her chest and sighed: "Master, this palace is really scary , just now when you were talking to the Empress Empress, the servant’s little heart almost jumped into her throat, for fear that the Empress Empress would be angry and punish you.”

The matter of asking Fengyan to be the concubine's daughter, if you put it nicely, it is Qu Lingxu's request to the queen. If you put it badly, it is that she is desperately trying to use the queen. No one in this world is willing to be Taking advantage of it, the queen who is the mother of the world is no exception. It is reasonable for Yun Yi to have such worries.

The truth that Yun Yi understands, Qu Lingxu naturally won't be unclear. The reason why all things in the world generate and restrain each other, the key is to grasp a reasonable scale. Therefore, even if the queen is displeased, she will not really do anything to herself.
