The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 208 Motivation
"motivation."

Gan Tiantian put down the teacup, tapped his fingers on the table, thoughtfully.

"Han Rui, I know you're confused, but... this matter, if we want to find out the truth, we still have to start from the motive."

"What good will the Fang family do if they attack you?"

"This is really...I've thought about it, but I can't figure it out." Han Rui spread his hands in distress: "Instead, they should rely on me and hope that I will become a prince."

From a common sense point of view, the Fang family had absolutely no reason to harm Han Rui.

Gan Tiantian didn't know much about the concubine selection system at that time, but she knew that the Fang family did not hesitate to sacrifice their daughter's happiness to send her to the capital to marry into the royal family, and they must have wanted to get a lot of benefits from this marriage.

As a local century-old family, their local roots are already solid.In Deling County, the common people respect the Fang family even more than the gentlemen in the county government, because the county magistrate rotates every few years, but the Fang family has been rooted here for generations.

The words of the Fang family are more effective than the words of the county magistrate. This is not a strange phenomenon.On the contrary, in the vast land of the empire, these big and small families are the actual local power holders.

Of course, this kind of unspoken rule can only be understood by everyone, but it cannot be announced, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion...

Therefore, they also need to be closely connected with the government to build a relationship, such as doing everything possible to send their children to study and become officials, such as marrying the royal family - the marriage between the Fang family and the Xiangwang Mansion was facilitated under this background.

The daughter has become a princess, and the Fang family has put on the cloak of the emperor's relatives, so that they can not suffer in local affairs.Even if they want to save face and respect the reputation of the family, and don't take advantage of the people easily, they can't be bullied.

As if thinking about what Gan Tiantian was thinking, Han Rui said in a low voice: "Back then, before my mother entered the palace, the Fang family was once made things difficult by the governor of Yujiang Mansion... At that time, the upper reaches of the Yellow River flooded, and victims flooded into the Xijiang River. Showdown food disaster relief to various places, Fang family was asked to provide food equivalent to a county for disaster relief."

"Oh."

What happened later, Gan Tiantian knew without asking.This must be because Mr. Fu Yin, who has a background, wanted to suppress the local wealthy family and take advantage of the big family. During that period, the Fang family probably had no one who could help in the capital, and suffered a secret loss.Regardless of whether the Fang family handed in so much food back then, judging from their quick marriage with the royal family, they should be learning from the pain and looking for a backstage in the capital for themselves.

"So your mother became the princess."

"yes……"

The young king of Xiang must have also taken a fancy to the Fang family's deep wealth, right?In the capital, he was just one of the emperor's sons, and had no hope of being crowned prince, so his life was quite ordinary.With the Fang family's large dowry, the expenses of Prince Xiang's Mansion suddenly increased.

"The Jiang family...you learn so quickly."

At this time, Gan Tiantian came to his senses. When King Xiang accepted Concubine Jiang's "active seduction", he probably had the idea of ​​"making another fortune for his wife's dowry".

"Oh, you thought of it too."

Han Rui's eyes grew colder, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "My stepmother is amazing, not to mention the dowry she brought, and she is also very good at managing things... In just a few years, she has added a lot of money to the family, and she gave birth to a daughter who will please the king. son."

Well, sure enough, no one can succeed casually!At first, she thought that King Xiang was just obsessed with beauty, but after thinking about it, even if he was obsessed with beauty, it wasn't that exaggerated, so she hurriedly married and went home to fill in the house, not to mention, and has been pampering her all the time. Charm?
It turned out that it was not the charm of looks, but the charm of money.Talking about infatuation at the emperor's house, she is obviously too stupid and naive...

What Han Rui didn't tell Gan Tiantian was that in order to win King Xiang's heart, concubine Jiang often took the initiative to send beautiful singers and maidservants to King Xiang, and managed her yard so that the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Also like.

The former concubines of the King of Xiang lived well when they were the former concubine, but they died of illness when they came to Concubine Jiang, at least they lived in a remote courtyard to fend for themselves, and had no chance to see their prince at all.

Concubine Jiang didn't care about those concubines' children, but she said to the outside world that she "couldn't bear to take the children away from their biological mother". They acted so virtuously that they won a lot of good reputation at home and abroad.

Han Rui once scolded Concubine Jiang harshly in his heart as a "shameless old bustard" - it's just that the privacy of this inner house can't be mentioned to anyone.

It is precisely because of the disgusting and ugly scenes in the palace since he was a child, especially when his father, under the connivance of Concubine Jiang, often feasted and mingled with those singers and beauties all night long... Han Rui had a deep feeling for this kind of life. Hate and boredom.

Concubine Jiang used to send those beautiful maidservants to his room in order to turn him into a waste.He has only turned ten years old, and these girls are the ones who serve him personally in the mansion, and some of them are shamelessly trying to climb into his bed at the behest of Concubine Jiang.

If it were someone else, I might not be able to hold on, and my body and spirit would be ruined by these things early on.

Han Rui only pretended to be puzzled, and never answered the flirtatious conversations of those maidservants. He kicked people off the bed even if they climbed on the bed, yelling not to disturb him to sleep.

The so-called warm fragrance of nephrite jade did not make him feel the slightest throbbing desire.As for those rich and noble girls who are in contact with outside on weekdays, he never pretended to them.

And Concubine Jiang's niece, Jiang Xuejiao, is almost the same as Concubine Jiang, I really don't know what kind of upbringing his daughter is.The good eldest lady didn't do it, she ran to live in Xiangwang's mansion in the capital, and would cling to him from time to time.ridiculous!
How can you pretend to be weak and delicate, how to pretend to be knowledgeable, how to pretend to be a confidante?The word "utility" was clearly written in that woman's eyes, and she wanted to be like her aunt as a princess, but she didn't even think about it...Will Concubine Jiang let herself really inherit the position of son?

It's just that there is a chess piece that is cannon fodder, but it keeps running to me without self-knowledge, my cousin yelling loudly.snort!

"...In short, the Fang family managed to get into this royal family so easily. Even if your mother is gone now, they should hold you and protect you." Gan Tiantian's voice pulled Han Rui out of his unpleasant memories. return.

"But we can't be imprisoned by common sense. Since something happened, there is always a reason for it. It's still the same sentence, if something happens to you, what good is it for the other party's family... Or, some people in the other party's family have What good?"

Han Rui's eyes lit up: "You mean..."

"Yes."

Gan Tiantian finally got to the point: "What is beneficial to the other party's lineage may not be what everyone likes to hear. Perhaps, someone wants to muddy the water..."

"Use your business to attack the direct descendants of the Fang family!"
