Splendid concubine

Chapter 105 What is a Clan
At this time, what interrupted everyone was the palace lady who came back holding the words of Princess Dingguo.

The queen mother proudly asked people to open the scrolls, only to see that in a scroll, there were only five words in huge characters, "Sworn to be the princess"!
Seeing that Liu Jiaren almost burst out laughing, this Princess Dingguo has never met before, but I heard that she is not getting along with her second sister, and she has a clear-cut stand to follow her second sister, so naturally she has nothing to do with Princess Dingguo favor.

When I saw this at this time, I naturally felt very funny.

Princess concubine is almost what noble ladies want to be, but although everyone is tacitly aware of it, no one will say it out. Now that this big word comes out, it makes people laugh out loud.

The scroll turned her back to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother didn't see the handwriting, but said proudly: "How about this word? A nobleman is a nobleman, cultivated by this family background, not to mention the noble blood of Dingguo, even a cat or a dog can teach a lady .”

"Dingguo is a name that other Aijia dare not boast about, but among the noble girls in the capital, if she is called the second, who would dare to be the first." The queen mother said domineeringly.

The ministers and noble ladies nodded one after another. Indeed, no one dared to be as shameful as she was.

Seeing everyone nodding, the queen mother was even more proud, "Your Majesty, only a talented woman like Dingguo can be worthy of the crown prince, right? This talented woman looks like a cousin, so it's just a good time to kiss and get closer, what do you think?"

The Queen Mother was almost certain that no one would dare to compete with Princess Dingguo for the position of Crown Princess.

"Princess Dingguo has lofty ambitions, which are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."

The emperor pondered for a moment before saying, "However, where is Princess Dingguo now?"

"With this talent alone, the Ai family naturally dare not say that she is qualified to be a crown princess. Dingguo has not presented a birthday gift yet. This is just a word practiced on weekdays." The queen mother looked determined.

The expressions of the ministers are also indescribable.

The empress dowager had a lot of prestige in their hearts, and she fell from the altar all at once.

At this time, the focus of the discussion was Princess Dingguo, who had changed into her dance clothes, and walked in gracefully from outside the hall, "My daughter, Princess Dingguo kowtowed to the emperor's uncle, and wished the emperor a long life without bounds, and a prosperous future every year."

After finishing speaking, Yingying bowed, and when she was about to dance, she suddenly saw the empress dowager standing up suddenly, pointing at Princess Dingguo, trembling, lips trembling, trembling, but unable to speak.

"Hurry up and declare the imperial doctor, hurry up." At this time, Liu Ruyi disappeared all night, but suddenly came in from outside the hall, and gave orders, although it must be beyond the rules to say so, but no one is talking about it now.

Those who can pursue it are just astonished, but others cannot.

Seeing the person supported by Liu Ruyi, the queen suddenly got up from her seat, knocked over the teacup in her hand in surprise, and made a crisp sound of broken porcelain, but there was no reaction.

There is no other reason, when Dingguo princess appeared, the queen was just flustered, very surprised and a little uneasy.

When the person Liu Ruyi was supporting appeared, it made her feel turbulent.

Satisfied with the reaction of the queen mother and queen, Liu Ruyi lowered her head slightly and smiled slightly. This is just the beginning. Tonight she is going to give the emperor a big gift. The emperor is most surprised, most looking forward to, and most tempted. .

Liu Ruyi was followed by a group of people, all of them were old men with gray hair and long beards, each of them trembling, being supported by court ladies and eunuchs, they walked into the main hall.

The courtiers also looked at the entrance of the hall in surprise. When the banquet just started, they were all curious why the new princess didn't come.

It turned out to be here, but what happened?

How come the dance clothes and makeup worn by Princess Dingguo are exactly the same as that of the white-haired old woman supported by Liu Ruyi?

Before the ministers could figure it out, Liu Ruyi threw a bombshell, "Dare to ask the Queen Mother, do you know this person?"

The queen mother seemed to be strangled by someone out of thin air, her eyes were protruding, her face was blue and purple, her chest heaved violently, her fingers were shaking non-stop, and she was speechless for a long while pointing at the old woman.

"Since the empress dowager is uncomfortable and can't speak, then I will speak out for the empress dowager."

Liu Ruyi paused for a moment, and the corner of her mouth smiled even more, "This is the empress dowager who has passed away in the empress dowager's mouth."

After a pause again, Liu Ruyi continued, "Ms. Taifei, I think many people don't know that she is the current emperor's own mother."

Suddenly, the ministers were in an uproar.

The current dynasty is different from the previous dynasty. It is not that the queen of the previous emperor must be the queen mother. What is more, when the emperor's biological mother is still alive, the aunt will not be made the queen mother. Of course, this is just a convention, because the emperor usually rubs the aunt secretly. Rubbing to death, so as to avoid the need to establish a queen mother of the East and West Palaces according to the ancestors' precepts, and seize power every day.

Smart aunts usually give in and take people to the temple to be pampered and pampered, leaving the rest of their lives.

But when the current emperor came to the throne, he originally appointed his aunt empress dowager as the empress dowager of the East Palace, called the empress dowager, and appointed his biological mother as the empress dowager of the West Palace, called the empress dowager.

However, within a few days, when the emperor went to pay homage to the ancestral temple, it was rumored in the harem that the empress dowager was unlucky. She contracted a serious disease and died in just one day. Because of the infection, the empress dowager ordered it to be set on fire.

Unexpectedly, the empress dowager is here now.

"You liar, come here, drag these liars out and behead them, beheaded." After all, the empress is young and has no personal experience. After finally finding her own voice, she immediately ordered loudly.

Bearing the traces of alcohol on the empress's phoenix robe, Liu Ruyi said softly: "Isn't empress guilty? Convicted before asking?"

Although the voice was soft, it seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties, making the empress unable to breathe.

"Clan elders, please." Liu Ruyi stepped aside and said loudly, and the old men with gray beards stepped forward one after another.

This has to be said about the system of this dynasty.

When this dynasty conquered the world, it was originally a big clan. When Taizu passed the throne to Taizong, Taizong was still young and liked to have fun the most. He was afraid of making mistakes, so Taizu established a system, that is, the clan system. Elderly is not determined by power, neither the emperor nor the empress dowager has the right to decide. The nine elders selected each time represent the royal family.

The clan represented by these clan elders is also a force that should not be underestimated. It is very mysterious, and no one knows what it can do.

Although they don't care about things on weekdays, when it comes to matters within the royal family, these clan elders have a great say.

The greatest power, even the abolition of the emperor, of course has not yet appeared.

The old man in the lead, trembling, looked to be at least 70 years old, but his voice was like a bell, "Master Da Mo, you are very jealous."

Because the current queen and queen mother were both born in the Mo family, the queen mother was called the Da Mo family by the clan elders.

At this time, the emperor took a deep look at Liu Ruyi, hurried down, and helped the chief clan elder to sit firmly on the dragon chair, "Grand Uncle, I greet you."

The old man nodded, expressing his acceptance of the emperor's greetings, and then he looked at the empress dowager with a serious face, and said loudly: "Two years ago, Mrs. Da Mo killed the first queen mother. To prevent the news from being leaked, Mr. Mo Clan killed a total of [-] people in Shoukang Palace."

The queen mother suddenly raised her head and stared at the clan elder.

"In the first year of Shouning, Da Mo poisoned the pregnant concubine Li, and afterwards, in order to silence her, she killed the maid Hydrangea beside her."

……

The Queen Mother suddenly stood up, stopped shaking, and roared: "There is no Aijia, there is no Aijia, old man, don't frame Aijia for nothing."

"Smelly old man" smiled slightly, "Oh, I'm getting angry from embarrassment, don't rush to deny it, it's not over yet."

"In the first year of Tianqi, while the emperor was out to worship the ancestors, the concubine at that time, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, was arrested, locked in the basement, and lied that she had died of illness. Is it right? If you don't admit it, I have plenty of ways to make you Admit it." The old man in the lead patted the table.

Shaking her lips, the Empress Dowager's complexion had changed from purple to pale.

Shaking his head and sighing, the clan elder said: "I will divorce you poisonous woman for that bastard today."

The queen mother backed away in disbelief, shaking her head as she backed up, "Impossible, you can't, you can't, I'm the queen mother, what are you? You don't even have a title, I can deal with you, I'm older than you."

Hearing this, the elders of the clan laughed instead: "Master Da Mo, you are too guilty of being a queen mother, you don't even know the rules of the clan?"

Even if you know it, you can't admit it, Liu Ruyi thought to herself, but taking advantage of no one's attention, she went to Liu Jiaren's table, picked up the snack on Liu Jiaren's table, stuffed it into her mouth, and bit it hard.

"Second Sister, what did you do?" Liu Jiaren couldn't hold back her curiosity, she quietly tugged at Liu Ruyi's sleeve and asked.

"Eat more and talk less." Liu Ruyi said vaguely while stuffing it into her mouth.

Glaring at Liu Ruyi's warning eyes, Liu Jiaren shut her mouth in embarrassment, knowing in her heart that this is not the place to talk.

Ask again when you get home, there is no rush.

After a while, there was another change. The empress dowager was crying with snot and tears, and her usual dignified and noble image was gone, "This person is not a concubine, my good sister, you can go now , Why is there someone pretending to be you to lie to our mother and son, God, please open your eyes, the first emperor, please have a dream, tell me that this woman is not real."

It's no different from being a shrew.

Many people have seen the face of the concubine. When the emperor first ascended the throne, the empress dowager and the concubine appeared at a banquet.

The elders of the clan are not vegetarians, otherwise such secret things can be produced as evidence, and they can't tell a concubine or empress?

Mu Zitan didn't know when, he came to look for Liu Ruyi, and bumped Liu Ruyi with his shoulder, "Huh? Is it done?"

As he spoke, he winked.

into what?Liu Ruyi deliberately put on a dazed and ignorant look.

"Oh, stop pretending." Mu Zitan lightly slapped Liu Ruyi on the arm.

"Look, it's meaningless to say it in advance." Liu Ruyi sipped the tea carefully, the old god was there.

If it doesn't work, just make a fuss like this, and the goal will be achieved.
