rich concubine

Chapter 1741
How much does a person have to experience in his life before he can be truly perseverant? It is probably very difficult to look at the past magnanimously without shedding a single tear.

His biological mother was sentenced to death, and his entire grandfather's family was slaughtered. He was raised by the Queen Mother since he was a child. He seemed to have less worries, but in fact he was careful and careful every step of the way.

When she was five years old, the queen, the queen mother of Princess Nanning, was exposed to have had an affair with someone. Because it was a royal scandal, they suppressed it. They just said that the queen suddenly fell ill and there was no cure. She died soon after. Although she was a queen, However, the funeral was extremely simple, barely able to withstand the verbal and written criticism from the Yushitai, and my grandfather’s family, the Duke of Zheng, was also charged with the uncredible crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and was sentenced to the entire family. As a result, the queen was reprimanded and demoted after her death. She was eventually removed from the imperial mausoleum and buried in a thin coffin with dignity.

After that, the imperial concubine came to power, and her family was also favored by the saints. Even the princes and princesses born to the imperial concubine surpassed the sons and daughters born of the emperor's first wife.

Empress Yuan was not favored, and even Princess Nanning and the seventh son of the emperor were not popular. After her death, the two children had a hard time without any help from relatives, and they had to beg for mercy under the successor Tang Guifei.

In the end, the younger brother Huang Qizi died of food poisoning and dealt with a concubine. The concubine was full of curses before she died. She said that she had a son who was stillborn, all because of the deposed queen. In this regard, Empress Zheng added another child. A charge of murdering the emperor's heir.

At that time, people all over the Zhu Kingdom scolded Empress Zheng, saying that she was a talkative woman with a snake heart. She enjoyed the most noble treatment in the world, but was not a tolerant mother of the country. Even God could not stand what she did. When she got sick and took her in, the family of Zheng Guogong, who was able to raise such a queen, was also punished by God. Empress Zheng did many evil things and could not tolerate other people's children, so the seventh son of the emperor died.

At that time, Princess Nanning's situation in the palace could be described as being besieged on all sides. She was not treated as a legitimate princess, was rejected by her father, and was disgusted by Empress Tang. She had no other role in one day, except to disgust Empress Tang's three actions. The princess and the fifth princess, the first child of the original wife Yuan Yuan and Emperor Zhu, always had the upper hand over her.

Things in the harem were in chaos. If the Queen Mother hadn't noticed something was wrong and protected her, she would have suddenly fallen ill one day and died soon.

At this moment, Princess Nanning was kneeling in front of the Queen Mother's bed, listening to the instructions with her ears lowered.

Empress Dowager Wen dismissed her servants, leaving only two grandsons and grandsons in the room. She was heartbroken, holding herself up, with a sick look on her face, and a little short of breath when she spoke. She looked at her granddaughter, whom she had raised by her side since she was six years old, and felt heartbroken. He said: "You have been with me for so long and refused to get married. How are you doing now? How do you want grandma to keep you?"

Princess Nanning is as good as her mother, and even more beautiful. Her eyes are deeply affectionate, her face is three-dimensional, her nose is straight and delicate, her thin lips are pursed slightly, she lowers her head and cannot see. His face was clear, but his words contained a hint of stubbornness that was hard to detect.

"Ling Yu will never marry and serve her grandmother."

Empress Dowager Wen said bitterly: "But now, your fourth brother is in power. He wants you to sell your dignity and respectability and go to Meng to get married. He wants you to celebrate the wedding! You are the princess of a country! I... cough cough!"

Zhu Lingyu panicked and walked forward on her knees, with tears in her eyes that had been stubborn for a long time. She persuaded the Queen Mother at the side of the couch: "Grandma, don't be angry, your body can't bear it."

Empress Dowager Wen gave a bitter smile. She held her granddaughter's hand tightly and looked at her with unwillingness. She said, "Even if your father doesn't love you and the queen doesn't want to see you, you are still a girl raised by your grandmother. Among all the princesses in the palace, no one can compare with you. How can your grandmother bear it?" She was in pain and helpless because she knew that there were some things that she, the Queen Mother, who could no longer control, could not control. Zhu Lingyu When she was still young, she was still young and could protect her. During those two years when the Zhu Kingdom was peaceful and the people were at peace, she could also make the decision for the eldest granddaughter to get married. However, she missed the best opportunity. Now the whole palace is occupied by Empress Tang and others. Her son was controlling her, and she was really powerless.

Zhu Lingyu's expression remained unchanged, but her pale lips also betrayed the desolation in her heart at the moment. She said: "Lingyu was born like this. Fortunately, she was blessed by her grandmother to grow up to this point. Lingyu is deeply grateful to her grandmother for raising her, but... When the country is in danger, if there is a place where Ling Yu can be used, Ling Yu dare not say a word about his unwillingness. Grandma, if Ling Yu and his wife can bring peace to the whole country of Zhu, Ling Yu is willing."

Queen Mother Wen was so painful that she could hardly speak. She said: "Do you know who you are marrying? That is a fierce general of the Meng Kingdom! The Meng Kingdom is so powerful. If you go there, your motherland will not be able to protect you. The Queen and the Fourth Prince If I don’t care about you, you will only suffer endless suffering!”

Zhu Lingyu bit her lower lip and said after a while: "Even if Lingyu is in the palace, how can she be tolerated by them? It's just to go to another place and explore the world again. Grandma, Lingyu is not stupid. As long as Lingyu The Queen will not let me go as long as Yu is in the palace for one day, even if I have your protection, but... there is always something you can't see."

It was rare to see her so tough. Queen Mother Wen looked at her and was speechless.

Zhu Lingyu said: "There is no place for me here. It's not that I don't want to get married, but I know that even if I got married after listening to my grandmother's words, the queen would not let me go, and it would be in vain." It’s someone else’s.”

"Have you made plans for a long time? Do you know who Jiang Shunxiao is? The first generation of the Meng Kingdom was so fierce. Even if the Zhu Kingdom rises again one day, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat them. If you want to survive, how long will it last? hour?"

boil?Hasn’t this been how you’ve survived all these years?
Empress Dowager Wen added: "You are young and don't think carefully. You went to get married, but you can't make a big difference. That Jiang Shunxiao has already achieved so much at a young age. What happened to him happened on the border of our country. You should take it seriously." How can they treat you well after you pass? When the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can I protect you?! Also, I heard that he has a wife. You are a princess, why do you want to do it for him? concubine?"

Zhu Lingyu was a little dumbfounded. She said: "Although I am a princess, how often have I been treated like a princess? Who treats me as a princess? I have made enough jokes here. Do you know that after I go there, there will be no more?" A chance to come back? Grandma, it’s too late to say anything now. They won’t let the third princess and the fifth princess go, let alone the other princesses. Only I, born after the Yuan Dynasty, have already reached my age. You Do you think I can really escape it? Since I can’t escape it, why not accept it happily? It’s not that I’ve thought about it, but I can only think this way, and there is no other way but to think this way.”

It didn't matter whether she was a concubine or not. If she went to get married in such a situation, she would have fallen behind.

She could not defeat Empress Tang, nor could she defeat the powerful emperor's younger brother, nor could she defeat her own destiny.

Why not accept your fate and know that this is not a way out?
