Wonderful Puppet

"Your Majesty, there are no concubines..." Zhen Jing's face was gloomy, and she couldn't figure out why the emperor's heart turned away as soon as she met Zhen Si.

Emperor Chen Qing glanced at Zhen Jing impatiently, and said: "From now on, the noble concubine will be contemplating behind closed doors in Chonghua Palace, when will she understand the rules, and when will she go out again!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhen Jing's strength was drained and she collapsed to the ground.

Emperor Chen Qing didn't look at her, and said to Zhen Miao: "Jia Ming, you come with me."

When the two came to the corridor, Emperor Chen Qing stopped and looked at Zhen Miao.

"Jia Ming, today... I lost my temper, and I won't do it in the future."

Seeing Zhen Miao's cold face, she laughed at herself: "Anyway, I will still be your imperial brother from now on. It's late, you go to rest, and I will send you back tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhen Miao lowered her eyes and saluted politely.

Emperor Chen Qing sighed softly, without turning his head, strode away, his figure gradually disappeared into the hazy night.

Only then did Zhen Miao stand up and look up at the direction in which he was leaving, she thought to herself, if she had known this before, why did she do it in the first place, if she could stop with courtesy, how could the concubine end up in a dead end?

When she thought about it like this, there was no pity left in her heart, and she just wanted to keep a respectful distance from Emperor Chen Qing.

Her happiness is too small and ordinary, and the emperor's power is too great and willful, which can easily destroy everything she manages carefully.

For such a person, I hope to get as far away from her life as possible.

This night, I don't know how many people were tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and they couldn't calm down.

Zhen Miao got up and saw a blue shadow in front of her eyes, she asked the serving lady to boil eggs, peeled the shells, rolled and rolled them in front of her eyes, and covered them with powder.After tidying up, they didn't say goodbye to Zhen Jing, they went directly to the Queen Mother, and it happened that Zhao Feicui was also there, so they bid farewell together and finally left the palace.

Before getting on the sedan chair.Zhen Miao looked back and glanced at the golden tiles and vermilion walls of the imperial palace, the radiant scene under the sun was like the maw of a ferocious beast, if anyone fell into it, there would be no bones left.

She shivered and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky was just right, and the clear green was as clear as washing.White clouds were like fluff, Zhen Miao let out a long breath, and urged the bearers to quicken their pace, and went to the residence of the Duke of Zhen.

After returning to the residence, Zhen Miao went to Yi'an Hall first.

The old lady of Zhen Guogong is obviously aging.Fortunately, he was still in good spirits, looked at Zhen Miao a few times, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a loving smile, "Daughter-in-law, the palace sent a message yesterday that you were not feeling well. I was taken aback when I rested there. , now it seems that his complexion is not very good. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. The old concubine is also considered to be at the end of her life. Grandma said something that should not be said. It is rare to have such an ending in the deep palace."

"It's the daughter-in-law's fault for making grandmother worry." Zhen Miao felt ashamed and felt sorry for Princess Zhen, but it was a pity that she couldn't tell anyone the reason.

The old lady pulled her up and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite, I wish I could come back sooner. Brother Xiang and Brother Yi didn't see you, but they had been arguing all night."

When Zhen Miao heard this, she couldn't sit still.

The old lady smiled when she saw it: "The two elder brothers can't leave you, it's because you nursed them yourself, I have never seen you love the children like this. They had a big fight last night, so they fell asleep with me, Hong Fu, take grandma there."

When Zhen Miao went out, the old lady turned her head to Yang Nanny and said, "I don't know what happened to Dalang's daughter-in-law when she entered the palace this time."

As she grew older, Nanny Yang was very respectable in front of the old lady, and she could sit and talk. Hearing what the old lady said, she felt a sudden shock in her heart, and said tentatively: "Old lady——"

The old lady smiled: "It's better than anything else when people come back safely."

She sighed: "The two elder brothers are also three years old. Dalang and his wife still get together less and leave more. I don't know when they will have another great-grandson."

Speaking of this, the old lady frowned, and asked with some headache: "How is the young girl from the Hubu Han Langzhong's family that I inquired about a few days ago?"

Nanny Yang shook her head, and said with some embarrassment: "The third lady asked her natal sister-in-law to ask, and when she heard it was the second son, she pushed it away."

The old lady rubbed her forehead and sighed: "Erlang's marriage is really difficult."

"Although it has been four or five years, those gossips still had a great influence on the Second Young Master. Although Han Langzhong's official position is not high, he was born as a Jinshi, and he attaches great importance to his reputation."

Although Luo Erlang's falling in love with his father's concubine was suppressed, but when he was about to take the exam, his pants were pulled off in public to reveal his birthmark, and it was rumored that he was raped by gangsters and pushed onto his twin brother. disgraceful.

What's more, Tian's family was overthrown, as his maternal ancestor's family, he couldn't give Luo Erlang any help, Tian's passed away, and Master Luo Erlang was going to stay in that idle job until he was old.

After so many years of watching with cold eyes, the courtiers are not fools. They all figured out Luo Tianzheng's indifference to the second wife of the Luo family. In this situation, no one is willing to bring his daughter in even if he is the son of the Duke's family.

"If the Second Young Master participated in Chunwei the year before last and won the Jinshi, maybe it would be easier."

This refers to the Spring Festival in Jingde's 17th year just in time after Luo Erlang's filial piety period expired.

The old lady pursed her lips and said: "Although Erlang has stayed in front of Tian's grave for three years, I can see that the hostility in his eyes has not disappeared. To be an official, you must first be a man, otherwise your conduct will be bad, and the greater your ability, the more disaster will happen." Bigger."

Before that spring, it was the old lady who ordered someone to bring a bowl of tonic. Luo Erlang drank it and developed a fever that night. Naturally, he missed the exam. Now that the marriage has been hindered, the old lady still has no regrets.

In the eyes of the old lady, the status of the Duke's Mansion is high enough, and the wealth is enough, there is no need for the icing on the cake of the scientific examination. The most important thing is that the children and grandchildren have a good character, and the most important thing is to keep it.

As for Luo Erlang, after three years of tempering, not only did his temperament not settle down, but his hostility became more serious. He thought that no one would be able to detect him, but how could he hide it from the old lady who has experienced decades of wind and rain?

For such descendants, she would rather be crushed to death and stay at home safely, rather than be proud and cause a catastrophe.

But no matter how hard he pressed, Luo Erlang was already 24 years old this year, and the marriage could not be delayed any longer.

"Go and call Mrs. Cai."

Mrs. Cai is the successor of Mr. Luo Er, who entered the house the year before last, from a declining noble family, with a bit of a hot temper.

The old lady took a fancy to her because she was the eldest daughter, and she was able to support the family when she was in her natal family.

The second room has many young children, and the second child is an asshole. If she marries someone who is too docile, she may follow in Tian's footsteps within a few years.

Not long after, Mrs. Cai came over, and after hearing the old lady's words, she pondered for a while and said: "Speaking of which, the elder cousin of the daughter-in-law's ancestral family, the eldest daughter has a gentle temperament, and is appropriate, but his background is a bit lower. In the early years, the grandfather’s family had councilors, but in the generation of the eldest cousin, only the eldest cousin was selected as a candidate..." (to be continued~^~)

PS: Don't worry, everyone. For Zhen Jing, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. This is not a female supporting role.
