The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 312 Marriage (3)

The death of Concubine Xian seems to have also brought a huge blow to Concubine Shu, just because Princess Heyi is dead, and now only Concubine Shu and Concubine De are left as the four concubines who used to call the shots in the palace.Concubine De and Ye Hua were able to stay by her side, but Concubine Shu had no children.What's more, Ye Pei's words during the interrogation before the imperial court that day already caused the emperor to have a grudge against Concubine Shu in his heart.Concubine Shu clearly felt that in recent days, the emperor had begun to alienate her intentionally or unintentionally.If this continues, the day when she falls out of favor is not far away.Concubine Shu is a sensible person, since she feels that there is nothing to miss in the palace, if this continues, she will be like Concubine Chen Guifei sooner or later, so she invites her to become a monk to pray for Princess Heyi.

The emperor didn't say anything, so Concubine Shu moved out of the palace the next day, went to a temple outside the palace to start cleaning, and vowed not to enter the palace for life.Empress Dowager Yide felt her affection and gave her the name Qinghong, which is a later story.

The previous dynasty and the harem are always closely related, but the fall of the four princes disrupted the balance in the harem that had been maintained for decades.Now the four concubines and the other three concubines are vacant, and there is only one concubine De.The empress became a favorite for a while, and the concubine De was more careful in her actions, and it was almost impossible to find faults. But even so, the balance in the palace must be maintained. Choose the right candidate from the show girls.

The show girls knew that the opportunity was rare, and they all tried their best to win the favor of the sage. They only wished that they could firmly grasp this opportunity to make a fortune, and spend more and more time on dressing up every day.On this day, the show girls gathered together to talk again, and they were talking about Princess Heyi.

The young lady of Wang Shilang's family is in her [-]th year of jade this year, and she is quite beautiful, and she can play the pipa well.While eating snacks, he said: "The palace has become more and more quiet in recent days. The eunuchs and maids all have a face, looking at people in a strange way." She usually has a lively temperament. The atmosphere in the room was tense, which made her very listless.

The woman on one side patted her hand, handed her a cup of tea, and said, "Sister Wang, don't say that, be careful to be heard." She lowered her voice: "I heard that the emperor is in a bad mood these days and always gets angry. , everyone is cautious in their words and deeds."

Miss Wang glanced at the woman across from her, sighed and said, "I know it, it's just that we're old enough to be put in this palace, it's really suffocating."

The woman on the opposite side was wearing a light yellow dress and narrow skirt, which made her figure more like a willow. It was none other than Jiang Dan.Jiang Dan smiled and said: "We are much luckier than those people. At least we still have a life. For example, the Fourth Highness a few days ago, so what if he is a child of the Tian family? After all, we still can't save a life. The Tian family What about the wealth and honor, the danger lies in it."

Miss Wang's family immediately showed a look of fear, patted her chest and said: "What's more, I feel chills all over when I think about it. You said that the Fourth Highness is also His Majesty's own son anyway, and if you say no, you don't." Well, we are not as honorable as the Fourth Highness, if we make even the slightest mistake, we will die without a place to die. In short, I dare not seek the wealth of the Heavenly Family."

Jiang Dan patted her hand and said a few words of comfort, but a smile flashed in his eyes.The servant of the Wang family is quite a figure in the court. Although he looks inconspicuous, behind his wife's natal family is Zuowei's mansion, and Miss Wang's family has a rich natal family.What's more, she has a beautiful appearance and is good at playing the pipa. If she is really lucky, it will be difficult not to be favored. She can be regarded as a strong opponent in this palace.

It's a pity that a gleam flashed in Jiang Dan's eyes. Although he has unique conditions, he is an idiot.Believe what she says, as long as you provoke her lightly, you will firmly believe in her words.The more dangerous the impression in the palace is for her now, the more nervous Miss Wang will be in front of the emperor in the future.The emperor will never like a woman who is afraid of himself, such a woman is most unappetizing to a man.Miss Wang made the emperor unhappy, how could she be favored in the palace.

Jiang Dan's heart was full of twists and turns, but the smile on his face became more gentle. The straight-talking Miss Wang took her hand and said: "My good sister, you are still caring. In this palace, only you treat me the most sincerely."

While this room was talking, Miss Li, another member of the show girls, came in, walked to the table and sat down, said a little indignantly: "Hey, have you heard about it? The Empress Dowager married King Jinying."

"King Jinying?" With Miss Li's words, all the beautiful women around her immediately surrounded her, and they all looked at her and asked, "But that traitor, King Jinying, Xiao Shao?"

Although they said "rebellious ministers and thieves", there was a light spring on the faces of these beautiful girls, as if just mentioning this name was enough to make them fascinated.This is natural, this handsome and indifferent young man who holds a lot of power is the person in the dream of countless daughters of Dajin. Even if she enters the palace and becomes the emperor's woman, she will always keep the magnificent dream of her girlhood. fantasy.

"Exactly." Miss Li said: "Then do you ever know who the Empress Dowager pointed out to him?"

Everyone shook their heads.Ms. Wang said: "Wang Jinying is very handsome. The person who is bestowed by the Empress Dowager must be a fairy-like figure. I guess, but that Miss Cheng from the Binhai Governor's Mansion?"

Miss Cheng's family has a good background, good looks, good conduct, good talent, one in a million people, if there is anyone in Da Jin Dynasty who is worthy of Xiao Shao, I'm afraid it is only this fairy-like figure.

Ms. Li shook her head, her tone could not stop being sour: "No, the person who was bestowed by the Empress Dowager to marry King Jinying is the daughter of the Jiang family, the current princess of Hong'an, Jiang Ruan!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze in place.Even Dong Ying'er, who was sitting far away while embroidering, couldn't help shaking her hands. Immediately, a red drop of blood the size of a grain of rice burst out from her index finger.She slowly put her index finger to her mouth and sucked away the blood.His eyes drifted to the speaker unconsciously.

Jiang Dan frowned, but his tone was tentative: "This...how could my eldest sister be pointed to King Jinying suddenly?"

"Who knows." Miss Li glanced at Jiang Dan with displeasure, and perhaps vented her anger towards Jiang Ruan on Jiang Dan, saying: "Although he is the princess, in the end it was only the queen mother who asked for the title, not The real golden branches and jade leaves, besides, they only have a better appearance. But the face is too charming, not a dignified and virtuous person, and I don't know what the queen mother thinks, so I choose Jiang Missy."

Jiang Dan rolled his eyes, and he could hear the displeasure in Miss Li's words.In fact, not only is Ms. Li unhappy, I am afraid that everyone present is more or less dissatisfied with Jiang Ruan.People always feel that others don't deserve what they can't get, and even if they get it, it's only when the conditions are much better than their own.But among the people here, some of them have a family background that is not inferior to Jiang Ruan, and there are also those who are not inferior to Jiang Ruan in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they have not become Princess Jinying.How can there be less jealousy and sourness?
