Concubine's true colors

Chapter 187
On Emperor Ming's side, after a long talk with Zhou Xianyu, he realized that the original gift of marriage had actually delayed the marriage of his beloved son, and he was caught in a dilemma for a while.

And because of Zhou Xianyu's gift of marriage, Emperor Ming is not the only one who is troubled and worried about it, but Concubine Liang of Yanqing Palace is also discussing this with Mrs. Gu secretly.

A good family banquet just now was ruined by Concubine Hui's pot of poisoned wine. When the emperor and empress were sent away, Concubine Liang asked Shen Wenqing, the daughter-in-law, to take charge of the situation, and she took Mrs. Gu to her own The bedroom, and screened all the palace people around.

After the two of them sat down, before Concubine Liang could speak, Mrs. Gu asked anxiously:
"Sister, please tell me quickly what is the relationship between His Royal Highness Yuwang and Miss Jinxuan. Yuwang actually did not hesitate to openly contend with the empress for the sake of each other, and even Concubine Hui was hurt when she said that she was injured. Wang cares so much about Xiao Jinxuan, what can I do with Geer."

At this age, Mrs. Gu is also a wife and mother herself, and she still can't see clearly what is going on. She immediately concluded that Zhou Xianyu must be pretending to be Xiao Jinxuan in his heart.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu was so anxious, Concubine Liang patted her hand to comfort her, then sighed, with a look of self-blame on her face.

"Since my younger sister has already seen everything, why bother to ask my elder sister to explain everything in person? Qing Ge is all to blame for this matter. If you knew in advance that Yu'er already had someone she admired, no matter how much you begged me, Qing Ge I will never present the portrait of Song to His Majesty, and these three children are really suffering now."

Hearing these words, Madam Gu almost shed tears, and immediately said pleadingly:

"My good sister, you know exactly how Qing Ge loves Yu Wang. Now that the Holy Majesty has bestowed a marriage, everything is a foregone conclusion. Even if Yu Wang and Miss Jinxuan are predestined, but my Ge'er, now you are the rightful princess-to-be, you are her aunt, but you must make the decision for her, you can't let Yu Wang mess around."

As soon as Concubine Liang heard this, her face showed a look of embarrassment. On one side was her niece, and on the other side was the woman Zhou Xianyu really loved. Under the dilemma, her brows were all locked together.

"Sister, I asked you to have a private meeting. I just want to come up with an idea that will satisfy both sides. Not only will it not hurt Qingge, but it will also make Yu'er and Jinxuan marry. Tell me, is there any good way now? .”

Originally, Mrs. Gu planned to let Concubine Liang restrain Zhou Xianyu and cut off contact with Xiao Jinxuan.But now when she hears about her sister, she has already made up her mind not to let Yu Wang miss her true love, then all her previous thoughts have come to nothing.

Therefore, Mrs. Gu thought for a while, then she gave the next best thing and preached:
"Since my sister must fulfill Yu Wang and Miss Jinxuan, my sister has nothing to say. After all, although Ge'er occupies the position of the quasi-wangfei, this marriage can be regarded as forced by my Gu family, so in the end , it is also the Gu family who owes His Royal Highness the Royal Highness."

After a pause, Mrs. Gu's face showed embarrassment, but after hesitating for a long time, she still spoke:
"But now that Qing Ge has a marriage contract with Yuwang, even if this Miss Jinxuan wants to get married with Yuwang, it must be after Geer married into the palace and became Yuwangfei. In fact, Xiao Jinxuan is just a concubine. At that time, her position as a side concubine will not be regarded as an insult to her identity. At that time, my Ge'er will be able to marry Yu Wang as she wishes, and His Highness will be able to spend time with the woman he likes. My sister thinks this method is the best way to do it now. The best choice."

Without a biological mother, one would not love one's child, and Concubine Liang, as a mother herself, was very clear about this.

But seeing Mrs. Gu, in a few words, she wanted Xiao Jinxuan to commit herself to the position of side concubine for the sake of her own child. Although it sounds like there is only one word difference between her and the concubine, she is a concubine after all.

Zhou Xianyu had a rough childhood, it was rare for Xiao Jinxuan to walk into his heart, Concubine Liang didn't even need to think about it, she knew very well that her stepson would never allow her beloved woman to be a concubine.

So Concubine Liang shook her head and smiled lightly, and said with a slightly displeased voice:

"Sister, I invited you here because we wanted to find a way together, but now you are thinking about your daughter, and you are still thinking about your daughter. You love the child, don't I love Yu'er? What's more, you keep saying Miss Jinxuan is a concubine, but don't look at which family she is from, she is the concubine of the handsome mansion. To say something that my sister doesn't like to hear, if you really talk about family background and background, your Qing song is compared with others, It is unmatched, incomparable.”

The Xiao family is one of the big families of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It owns 60 soldiers, and all of them are marshals and generals. Apart from the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is also the Xue family of Xiangfu. There is no third family that can compare with the Xiao family. up.

However, looking back at the Gu family, although Gu Shangshu was not born in a poor family, he was only a child of a scholarly family, and Mrs. Gu, like Concubine Liang, had the surname of Chen.

Their natal family has been pushed up several generations, and there is not even a second-rank official. If the concubine Liang hadn't entered the palace and gradually brought the Chen family together, I am afraid that even Mrs. Gu might not be able to marry into the Gu family and become the main house Ma'am.

Therefore, Concubine Jing Liang made this point, Madam Gu, who just considered Xiao Jinxuan as a concubine and contemptuously, immediately saw a layer of cold sweat on her head.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu has figured out who is superior and who is inferior, Concubine Liang said earnestly:
"Actually, it's not like I haven't thought about your idea, but if Xiao Jinxuan becomes a side concubine, firstly, Yu'er will definitely not agree, and secondly, it's because of the Xiao family's concerns. Sister, think about it, even if Jinxuan Miss is a concubine, but her status is too much higher than Qing Ge's. If she is overwhelmed by Qing Ge in the future, then you Gu family will show the face of Shan Shuai's mansion. If you offend the Xiao family, the consequences will not be good. Speaking of you, even this palace can’t afford it.”

Wiping the cold sweat that oozed from her forehead, Mrs. Gu nodded again and again, not daring to mention making Xiao Jinxuan her concubine anymore.

"But sister, if you don't wrong Xiao Jinxuan, how should you deal with this matter? Is it possible that you still want to ask the Gu family to refuse the marriage? It is a marriage bestowed by the Holy Lord. If you don't do it, you will be punished. "

Concubine Liang smiled disapprovingly when she heard the words, and then said tentatively:

"Sister, in fact, this marriage was not voluntary by Yu'er in the first place. It was a mistake that led to this marriage. In fact, if you think about it carefully, if Qing Ge married a husband who didn't feel sorry for her at all... , even if she can enjoy the honor of a princess in the future, she will never be happy in this life, you are her mother, don't you really have the heart to see her live like this."

These few words really touched Mrs. Gu's heart, she didn't like Zhou Xianyu at all, if Gu Qingge hadn't threatened to shave her hair and become a nun, she would never have asked Concubine Liang to come.

Immediately, Mrs. Gu sighed sadly, and she seemed to have aged a lot.

"Sister, my sister already understands the meaning of your words. Since I have forced this marriage once for Geer, but if it really doesn't work out, it's God's will. After all, how does my sister want to solve it? Straight up."

Hearing this, Concubine Liang felt apologetic, but after thinking about it, she said:
"Now that we already know that the marriage between Yu'er and Qing Ge is not a blessing from heaven, then we should let them go to their respective places and stop being entangled with each other by mistake. In a few days, I will I will talk to the Holy Master and say that the fates of the two of them are inconsistent, and as long as my younger sister cooperates with me, not only the reputation of the two children can be preserved, but also the matter of giving an oolong marriage can be satisfactorily resolved."

Seeing that Concubine Liang has already thought of everything properly, Mrs. Gu knows in her heart that even if she is not willing now, it will not change anything at all.

And when he thought that his daughter had already been rejected by Zhou Xianyu before she married into the palace, the days to come would definitely be extremely bleak.

Therefore, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Mrs. Gu had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept the matter.

"There are so many strange things, just blame me for forcing this marriage with my sister back then, but now not only is Ge'er, who is critically ill, sad again, but I almost missed the important event in Yu Wang's life. It's my sister who is confused, and it's me who gave the matter to her. Mistake."

Seeing that although Mrs. Gu was uncomfortable, she finally agreed to this matter in compromise, Concubine Liang felt relieved, and hurriedly comforted her.

But what Concubine Liang didn't know was that there was actually a pair of eyes full of resentment staring at her outside the door of her bedroom, and the owner of these eyes was Lu Qingge!

When Concubine Liang called Mrs. Gu away alone, although Gu Qingge didn't reveal anything on the surface, she knew in her heart that this aunt was probably going to talk to her mother about giving her a marriage.

In fact, at today's family banquet, Concubine Liang actually left Xiao Jinxuan behind. At that time, Gu Qingge was very disturbed, so she was really nervous about what Concubine Liang wanted to say to Mrs. Gu.

That's why Gu Qingge found an excuse just now, and then sneaked out of Concubine Liang's bedroom, poked through the door paper, and started peeping.

It was also because Concubine Liang pushed back all the palace people, so it was more convenient for Gu Qingge, and the other party also listened to the conversation between Concubine Liang and Madam Gu, verbatim.

But she really didn't expect that her good aunt brought her mother, and the content of the talk was how to turn the marriage bestowed by Emperor Ming into an abolished decree, completely destroying her marriage with Zhou Xianyu , dismantled alive.

Lu Qingge's face had already turned hideous due to excessive hatred. Her hands were tightly tearing at the brocade handkerchief, and her whole body was trembling slightly because of anger.

Because she really couldn't understand why her relatives all harmed her like this, so she couldn't see her and Zhou Xianyu get together.It seemed that these relatives would not let her go if she was not separated from the other party.

Tears flowed down again because she was too sad. In fact, she just wanted to stay together with the person she admired. Is her idea wrong?

Why is no one willing to fulfill her? Now even her mother is standing on the side of Concubine Liang, planning to completely terminate her marriage.

It was rumored in the hall that Concubine Liang and Mrs. Gu were discussing how to be seamless and hide from everyone's discussions. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lu Qingge's heart hard.

Immediately she couldn't listen anymore, covered her face and wept bitterly, and ran away.
