Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 116 The Marriage of the Second Princess

Concubine Jiang squinted her eyes when she heard the words, "Are you sure?"

The executioner said to himself: "Your Majesty, the villain has been executed for so many years, and he has never missed a shot."

"Okay, you can go down." Jiang Guifei waved her hand to let people go down.

After the executioner went down, Ding Xiang said to Concubine Jiang: "Your Majesty, since it wasn't one of ours who missed, how could Xiao Hong not be able to survive because of the heavy injury? Maybe there is something in it?"

Concubine Jiang sneered, "Is this not obvious? Concubine Xian is a poisonous woman, she is really quick to strike."

If Concubine Xian hadn't brought this matter up to the emperor immediately without giving her time to react, she would have to expose Concubine Xian's true colors.

It's a pity, now that the emperor has already decided the matter, it's useless to say anything.

Everyone in the harem was dazzled by the confrontation between Concubine Gao Xian and Concubine Jiang.

In Yunhua Palace, Jiang Man's master and servant were also talking about the recent contest between Concubine Gao Xian and Concubine Jiang.

Lianqiu said in admiration: "The concubine Jiang Gui is really powerful. Concubine Gao Xian hit the maids in her palace with her front foot, and stopped the maids in her palace from taking Xiaohong away. She let the emperor's Eunuch Zhao go from here in person Lama Temple took people away and beat them to death."

Wan Dong shook his head, "It's Concubine Gao Xian who is amazing."

"Why do you say that?" Lianqiu felt that all the little maids in Concubine Gao Xian's palace were beaten to death by Concubine Jiang, but Concubine Gao Xian failed to seek justice for the little maids. No matter how you look at it, Concubine Jiang is better!

Jiang Man said: "Because there is a great possibility that the little maid was not killed by Concubine Jiang's people."

"Ah?" Lianqiu was confused.

Wan Dong laughed and scolded: "You're so stupid, why was the little maid brought to the Changchun Palace by Concubine Jiang?"

"Jiang Guifei suspects that the little maid has something to do with Hu Xiuyuan's death." Lianqiu said.

"That's it." Wan Dong explained: "If Concubine Jiang's suspicion is correct, there is someone instigating behind that little palace maid. If this person is a Xian concubine, then who benefits from the death of that little palace maid?"

Lianqiu was thoughtful, the death of the little palace maid not only eliminated the possibility of retracting the confession in the future, but also pinned this matter on Concubine Jiang, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"So this time Concubine Gao Xian and Concubine Jiang are confronting each other head-on, should Concubine Gao Xian beat Concubine Jiang?"

"Actually not." Jiang Man smiled and said, "Concubine Gao Xian has done so much for the Sixth Princess who was born to Hu Xiuyuan, but I'm afraid it will be difficult now."

Emperor Yong'an has never been the kind of master who can be easily fooled. Although the clues found by Concubine Jiang Gui are not enough to prove that Concubine Gao Xian is the mastermind behind Hu Xiuyuan's death due to dystocia, Emperor Yong'an should be very clear that Concubine Gao Xian must be involved , with Emperor Yong'an's way of doing things, it is impossible for him to hand over the sixth princess to Concubine Gao Xian to raise him.

Even if she guessed wrong, Emperor Yong'an still wanted to give the sixth princess to Concubine Gao Xian to raise her,
With Concubine Jiang's temperament, she will definitely try her best to stop this matter.

"So, Concubine Gao Xian may suffer the biggest loss in this incident." Jiang Man said, Concubine Gao Xian planned so many things, but in the end it fell short, and the loss was not insignificant.

What Jiang Man expected was right, Emperor Yong'an did not hand over the sixth princess to Concubine Gao Xian in the end, but let the sixth princess move to live with the fourth and fifth princesses in the Princess Hall.

Concubine Gao Xian fetched water from the bamboo basket in vain, and hated Concubine Jiang for ruining her plan.

However, Concubine Gao Xian could see clearly now that Emperor Yong'an would rather have a child without his mother concubine grow up freely, and would not easily hand over the child to other concubines other than her concubine to be raised.

The concubines who have children around them in the harem now raise their own children.

After seeing it clearly, Concubine Gao Xian completely stopped thinking about raising a child by her side, and concentrated on fighting against Concubine Jiang.

Emperor Yong'an should be very happy to see this scene. Ever since Concubine Gao Xian focused on fighting with Concubine Jiang, Emperor Yong'an had visited Lama Temple more often.

Emperor Yong'an went to Lama Temple more times, so the number of times he went to other palaces naturally decreased. Of course, many people in the harem were not happy to see this scene, but it had nothing to do with Jiang Man. Anyway, Emperor Yong'an came to Yunhua The number of palaces has not decreased.

One day at the beginning of April, Emperor Yong'an came to Yunhua Palace with an angry look on his face. They had seen anger on their faces before, but when they saw Emperor Yong'an with an angry look on his face, everyone didn't even dare to show their anger, and they were trembling in doing things, for fear that they would offend Emperor Yong'an if they didn't serve well.

Jiang Man asked all the attendants to go down, brewed tea with her own hands and brought it to Emperor Yong'an, saying: "This is the new tea that the emperor gave to my concubine a few days ago. Your majesty has a taste of my concubine's skill in making tea. Is there any waste of this good tea?" ?”

Emperor Yong'an picked up the teacup and took a sip, and praised: "The color is green and fragrant, the taste is mellow and the shape is beautiful, and Aifei's tea-making skills have greatly improved."

"As long as the emperor likes it." Jiang Man quietly drank tea with Emperor Yong'an for a while, without saying or asking anything.

On the contrary, Emperor Yong'an put the teacup on the table beside him after drinking a cup of tea, and took the initiative to talk to Jiang Man about her troubles, "Xiyuan is already sixteen and has reached the marriageable age. Unfortunately, Xiyuan and Feng Zhaoyi are not satisfied with any of the people I have chosen."

"The candidates selected by the emperor must be good." Jiang Man said.

Emperor Yong'an shook his head, "It's a pity that Feng Zhaoyi doesn't think so. She thinks that the people I have chosen are not worthy of Xiyuan because of their insignificant family background."

Jiang Man felt that Emperor Yong'an would not be angry if it was just like this. She asked, "Is there a satisfactory candidate for Feng Zhaoyi and the second princess?"

Emperor Yong'an nodded and said with a sneer, "Feng Zhaoyi has taken a fancy to the third son of Wei Shao's family."

Wei Shao?Jiang Man was not very familiar with the ministers in the court and the noble families in Beijing, so she realized after a while. Isn't Wei Shao the Minister of the Ministry of War, the father of Concubine Wei De?

Emperor Yong'an was probably dissatisfied with the Wei family about Concubine Wei De's matter before, but because of some reasons, Emperor Yong'an chose not to reveal it. Unexpectedly, the second princess chose the son-in-law and chose the son-in-law of Wei Shang's family .

"Since the emperor is dissatisfied with the third son of Mr. Wei's family, didn't he directly change Feng Zhaoyi and the second princess?" Jiang Man said.

Emperor Yong'an snorted coldly, "They have very good ideas, that girl Xiyuan actually said that if she couldn't marry the third son of Wei Shao's family, she would rather die."

This was the root cause of Emperor Yong'an's fury. It was really inexplicable that his daughter would die for a man and threaten him with death.
