I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 11
Lord Zhen came back in the middle of the night last night. At that time Wan Jinlan was sleeping soundly. He met him during breakfast this morning. After breakfast, Lord Zhen entered the palace, and he just came back before the birthday banquet.

While a birthday banquet was going on bustlingly, the arrival of Concubine Wan Gui, who was always favored by her with high clouds and high temples, added a bit of joy to the old man's birthday banquet.

It is extremely difficult for a concubine to go back to her mother's house, even visiting relatives, most of them will be at night.

Seeing that Concubine Wan Gui had received a decree of favor to return to the mansion, they all lamented in their hearts that Concubine Wan Gui's reputation of favor is well-deserved.

Even when Cheng Engong passed his birthday, the queen and queen were not able to go back to the palace.

"Heaven's grace is mighty, His Majesty has allowed this concubine to return home to celebrate my father's birthday. I am so grateful."

After some scenes, Concubine Wan Gui said some auspicious words, and after drinking a glass of wine with everyone, she followed the old lady who had tears in her eyes and left the hall where the guests were received.

All the guests can understand that it is not easy for a concubine to return to her mother's house, and it is only human nature to seize the time to get together with her family at this time.

In the old lady's Jinchun hall, the eyes of Concubine Wan Gui and the old lady's mother and daughter were full of tears.

Ever since Concubine Wan Gui entered the palace, she has rarely cuddled up to her mother like this.Even after she gave birth to Princess Anyang, the Holy Majesty mercifully allowed her mother to enter the palace, but she had never been so close to her mother.

There are many rules in the palace, even when the mother and daughter meet, the mother has to salute first.

The old lady was able to hold back her emotions very well, and she hid her tears after a while, and when she wiped off the veil, no traces could be seen.

"Mother, elder brother Shang Zuo Sheng went back to Beijing to serve, do you know about this?"

Concubine Wan Gui accidentally spilled a cup of tea after hearing the news today.

The reason why her Wan family is known as the number one general family of the Wei Dynasty is because her family guarded the southwest for generations. She dared to say that the Wan family knew the specific situation in the southwest area best, and even the emperor only knew the local situation from the booklet.

There are 20 garrisons in the southwest, and if the elder brother says no, then he doesn’t want to go back to Beijing. What do you think?

Lord Zhen Guo came back in the middle of the night last night. Up to now, the old lady has not spoken a few words to her eldest son. She really doesn't know that his eldest son is going back to Beijing.

The old man didn't come back, and the mother and daughter didn't know who to ask.

Fortunately, not long after, Zhen Guogong and Lao Guogong entered Jinchun Hall one after the other.

When asked about this matter, Lord Zhen and the old man were very calm, obviously the old man knew about it.

"Your Majesty, don't make a fuss. I will take over the position of Secretary of the Ministry of War in a few days, and I will stay in the capital ever since."

The former Shangshu of the Ministry of War was imprisoned for embezzling military pay, and he proposed to return to Beijing at this time.

Concubine Wan Gui couldn't see that her elder brother was so calm, 20 military power and a minister, which one is higher?

The younger sister is not only the noble concubine in the palace, but also Wan Shizhong's biological younger sister. The whole family is prosperous, and the other is damaged. Therefore, Wan Shizhong has to speak clearly.

Although he is a general, he also has a certain sensitivity to the layout of the court.

The atmosphere in Jinchun Hall is solemn, and there is no atmosphere of family reunion.

With a wave of the old lady's hand, the women around her quietly retreated, and stood guard at the door with solemn faces.

"Your concubine, you should know that Taizu raised troops in the southwest and conquered the world. Looking at the previous dynasty and history, everyone who raised troops in the southwest was a long-term infestation with a strong force."

"My Wan family has been guarding the southwest since the time of Taizu, and is loyal, but it has been too long."

"The Holy One sent the supervisor Jiang Shan to the southwest, which has already explained the problem."

What Wan Shizhong didn't say was that Jiang Shan went to the Southwest. As a supervising army, he wanted to intervene in everything, not to mention interfering in military affairs, and secretly investigated the affairs of his house. It was hard for him not to suspect that Jiang Shan wanted to arrest him. What to do with the handle.

Jiang Shan was sent by the Holy Majesty, so his position naturally represented the Holy Majesty. Since the Holy Majesty had doubts about him, he might as well give up his power and return to Beijing.

Concubine Wan Gui was still uncomfortable, she was able to spoil the harem for many years, not only because of her beauty.

As the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, even the queen can do it.

After so many years of being under the king and queen, I feel both aggrieved and happy in my heart. The happy thing is that although the queen is a queen, she can't help her.

All this is due to the 20 troops in the southwest.

Seeing his daughter's expression, the old man asked warmly, "Qin'er, why are you so restless, but is there something bothering you?"

Concubine Wan Gui's boudoir name is Wan Qin'er, and the old man cared about her in the name of father instead of addressing her as concubine.

Concubine Wan Gui sighed: "Father, I have been in the palace for many years, and I depend on my family to live well. I have been at odds with the Queen and Concubine Shu for a long time."

Queen Wang is the successor, who has the second prince An Wang, and Concubine Chen Shu has the eldest prince Shun Wang.

She had no children and only gave birth to Princess Anyang. Her relationship with Concubine Chen Shu was not bad, and she had no other quarrels with the empress except for favors. But since the third prince Xiao Minghuan was recorded under her name, in the palace, The pattern of the past has changed.

The old lady didn't speak all the time, she sat there with her eyes squinted and listened to the conversation of several people.

Wan Jinlan, a junior, was sitting right next to her mother obediently, without making a sound.

She felt that a junior like herself was quite out of place in Jinchun Hall, but she really wanted to hear what they talked about.

How could the old man and Duke Zhen not know the situation of Concubine Wan Gui.

They also understood that the layout of the palace was intentionally made by the Holy One.

Originally, the noble concubine had only one daughter, Princess Anyang, but no matter what happens in the future, she can be a noble concubine in peace and stability.

But after the third prince was recorded under the name of the noble concubine, everything changed.

The noble concubine who didn't want to fight for it, now also took the initiative to join the battlefield.

The old Duke can only praise in his heart, the Holy One is a good hand at manipulating the court situation.

Thinking of the fate of the former queen's family, the old man was vigilant, so he discussed with his son, put down the Southwest, and returned to Beijing.

Lord Zhen Guo guarded the southwest and made great achievements. Even if he let go of the military power as the Holy One wished, he couldn't just think about nothing.

Even if they don't think about it, for the sake of face, the Holy Majesty has to give the so-called real power in the past, so that the monarch and his subjects can enjoy themselves.

Since then, the government of Zhen Guo has also been freed from being feared by the emperor.

With peace of mind on both sides, the town government can continue to prosper.

Concubine Wan Gui held the old lady's hand and said hesitantly: "Father, I planned to let Jin Lan sit on the throne as the main concubine, do you see...?"

Why did she tie her mother's family to the third prince's chariot, but she also had the intention of fighting.

If she doesn't fight, in the future, whether it is the first prince or the second prince, she will not be able to fall well.

It was a great shame and humiliation for Wan Qin'er to be a concubine for the prince who was still a prince. In the future, she will have to hold the initiative in her own hands no matter what.

The third prince came from a bad background, and he could not rely on anyone except her and the government.

If Jinlan becomes Princess Duan, she will treat her better.

Therefore, Concubine Wan Gui didn't think there was anything wrong with her plan.
