Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Shangguan Rui was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat."

Shangguan Rui was probably in a better mood, and took half an hour longer for meals than usual, and when he came out of the palace, it was already Xu time.Shangguan Jue and Wei Che separated when they were at the palace gate. As soon as Wei Che entered the second gate, he saw a lake green figure and a light purple figure waiting there.

When Liu Qianqian and Qingluan saw him, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's very windy here, you two are real, even if you have to wait, you should wait indoors." Although it is already spring, the wind at night still makes people shiver involuntarily. , his face was still a little pale, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

Qingluan said angrily: "We are also worried about you."

Wei Che couldn't help coaxing: "I'm back now, let's go, don't stand here and blow the air, you go to the kitchen and make [-] ginger soup, so as not to get cold." Wei Che told a few maids again .

The group first went to Dexin Courtyard. Qingluan was concerned about the affairs of the palace. She had been worried since she came back, especially since Wei Che had been in the palace for so long and didn't even come back for dinner. Thinking about things, Liu Qianqian didn't know where she got the news, so she came to ask her about the situation, and when she learned that Wei Che had met with members of the Xia family, Liu Qianqian was extremely anxious, so she followed Qingluan We waited together at the second gate, although we also knew that such behavior was useless at all.

As soon as Qingluan entered the room, she couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, did the emperor blame you?"

Wei Che looked at his younger sister and said, "Luan'er, the emperor is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, brother is not at fault in this matter, the Xia family is at fault."

When Qingluan heard this, she was a little relieved, she had no chance of getting in touch with the emperor, and the only impression she had of him was the last time when Li Shi designed Wei Xin'er, and then the emperor suddenly appeared.However, Qingluan knew that in her previous life, the emperor decreed to copy Weiyuanhou's mansion. She didn't know what happened in the middle, and she was skeptical about the wiseness of the current Holy Majesty.

"Brother, have you seen Sister Xin'er?" Qingluan asked again, there is a concubine Shu in the palace, and she sent an assassin directly last time, it is impossible that the conflict between the Xia family and the Wei family will not affect the palace. Wei Xiner's.

"Well, she looks fine." Although Wei Che saw Wei Xin'er, he didn't have the chance to talk to her, after all, she is now the Emperor's woman.

Seeing that Wei Che only answered a question, Qingluan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Brother, tell me what happened after all, you're going to die of anxiety."

Only then did Wei Che slowly tell what happened in the upper study room, and on the way he forced Qingluan and Liu Qianqian to drink a bowl of ginger soup. Qingluan was anxiously waiting for his words, without being wordy at all. Drank up the ginger soup. 13acv.

Only then did Wei Che happily say that things were full of twists and turns, and Qingluan didn't hide her expression in front of her family, her face was full of surprise. First of all, she didn't expect that there was someone in the Xia family who could think like Mrs. Li. In comparison, Yan Shi is even worse than Li Shi, at least Li Shi won't be as confused as she is, and act violently when he shouldn't be fierce.

Qingluan believes that what really made Shangguan Rui decide to punish the second wife of Xia's family was not Xia Jianren's galloping horses to make trouble, but Xia Wentao and Yan's connivance of guards beating Xie Youzhi and carrying him back to Jingzhaoyi.In Shangguan Rui's mind, the second wife of the Xia family is really domineering. As Shangguan Jue said, it not only slapped Jing Zhaoyi in the face, but also slapped the emperor severely. If Shangguan Rui doesn't punish The second room of the Xia family couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and he couldn't stop everyone from talking.

The second point is that Shangguanjue was so embarrassing in front of the emperor, and made a fuss in the study, the emperor simply reprimanded him. Behind him is not only the Prince Qin's Mansion, but now there is the strongest backer of the Great Xia Dynasty to support him.

The third point that Qingluan did not expect was that Xia Wenbin, the Lord of the Town, resigned from the position of Taifu. His behavior was more to atone for the second wife of the Xia family. The laws of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Wenbin was highly valued by the emperor, which has already hindered the eyes of many people, such as the Jiang family.

The Jiang family and the Xia family are destined to be enemies, and Jiang Yuan is the queen. It is reasonable to say that Duke Lu is the emperor's father-in-law. The emperor should trust Lu Guogong more, but in fact the emperor's real favor to Mrs. Xia It's no wonder that the Jiang family is comfortable with the unlimited pets.

In the past, the Jiang family didn't take the initiative to make trouble, it was because we couldn't grasp the handle of the Xia family, but now the second wife of the Xia family has passed the handle of his family to others, and foolishly brought this matter to the emperor, Xia The old matriarch Fu Na was really wise all his life, but in his later years, he was messed up by his family.

Seeing Qingluan's expression constantly changing, Wei Che knew that she must be thinking about this matter, so he said, "Okay, don't think too much about this matter, you should spend some time thinking about other things. "

Qingluan just sorted out his thoughts when he heard Wei Che's words, his expression looked a little dazed.

Liu Qianqian said with a smile: "Your brother is right, Luan'er, you are already 13 years old this year, and you will be married in two years, and it's time to get married. Our family doesn't stick to those rules, your brother Said, you are a big idea, so your husband-in-law is also up to you to choose."

Liu Qianqian stared at Qingluan with a smile. She herself had a happy life after marriage, so she naturally hoped that this sister-in-law, who was like her own sister, could also marry a good man.

Qingluan was a little dazed. She remembered that in her last life her brother asked her if she would marry Lin Zixuan. At that time, she was so dazzled by Lin Zixuan that she even told her brother that she only wanted to marry Lin Zixuan.

Although my brother recognized Lin Zixuan's talent at that time, he also said that Lin Zixuan's family background was not worthy of her.In order to prevent his younger sister's status from being too low after marriage, Wei Che used the influence of the Marquis of Weiyuan and his connections in the court to help Lin Zixuan.

None of the high school students who were in the same year as Lin Zixuan had smooth sailing like him. They entered the Ministry of Officials at a young age, and within a few years they were promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Luan'er." Seeing that Qingluan seemed to be in a trance, Wei Che couldn't help calling her.

Only then did Qingluan regain her senses, shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm only 13 years old, are you willing to marry me off so early, I want to stay at home, brother and sister-in-law won't despise me, right?" ?”

Liu Qianqian smiled and shook her head, according to Wei Che's mind, she wished to keep Qingluan forever, after all, marrying anyone is not as easy as her own family.

Wei Che couldn't help coughing, and said to himself, that would be the best. There are still five years left, and he doesn't believe that Shangguan can wait for such a long time.

************************************************** *********

Kunning Palace, inner hall.

Jiang Yuan had just taken a bath and was only wearing a light-colored dress. Her confidant, the court lady Su Lan, was holding a cotton handkerchief and gently drying the queen's hair.

In the mirror is a face that is as gorgeous as peaches and plums. Jiang Yuan is not yet 20 years old, which is the most brilliant time for a woman. Because she just took a bath, a faint blush appeared on Bai Xi's face, like that natural rouge.

"Your Majesty, you look so pretty." Su Lan boasted in Jiang Yuan's ear.

Jiang Yuan gently caressed her face with her pale fingers, and smiled at herself in the mirror. She had practiced this smile thousands of times, which made her look a little less gorgeous, but more Some dignified atmosphere, this is the demeanor of the mother of a country.

The official smiled lecherously. "Which palace sign did the emperor turn over today?" Jiang Yuan asked casually.

Su Lan hesitated for a moment before replying: "Qinghua Palace."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the wooden comb. She didn't know whether it was because she was too strong or the quality of the comb was not very good. She only heard a "pop", and the wooden comb broke into two pieces.

Su Lan's complexion changed slightly, seeing that Jiang Yuan threw the comb to the ground with a wave of her hand, she could only kneel down.

"Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs even dare to mess with the things of the palace now? This comb broke with a light touch." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

But Su Lan knew that Jiang Yuan was not at ease, so she said, "Major, please calm down, you are the mother of a country, forgive the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who dare not touch your things."

Jiang Yuan took a slow breath and asked again: "How many times is this this month?"

She asked without thinking, but Su Lan knew that what she was asking was that this was the first time the emperor had looked at the signboard of the Qionghua Palace. Hua Dian, this has never happened since the emperor took the throne.

"Your Majesty, why should you be angry with that kicker? You are the woman in the harem. To put it bluntly, the Qionghua Palace is just a concubine. Men are inevitably greedy for new things. It will be fine after this period passes. No matter how favored she is, she can't surpass you."

Only then did Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief. After all, she was the queen, and she felt better after a while.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan had calmed down, Su Lan leaned into her ear and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has been restrained today, but this time the emperor ordered that even Concubine Shu's natal family suffer. Concubine Shu's dandy younger brother was sent to prison, Xia Wentao was dismissed, and even Taifu Xia resigned from the post of Taifu. When the news came out tomorrow, the whole court would be shocked. Once it's over, her natal family is unreliable, and she is grounded again, after half a year, who will remember that there is such a person in the harem, this move, the master is really wonderful."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help raising her eyebrows. Inside the harem, she and Xia Tang were enemies. Outside the palace, the Jiang family and the Xia family were political enemies. Almost since Shangguan Rui ascended the throne, the Jiang family and the Xia family stood on opposite sides .

Today's queen is Jiang Yuan, but Shangguan Rui regards Xia Wenbin as her father-in-law, and suppresses Lu Guogong from afar.

The Jiang family has always wanted to overthrow the Xia family, but they couldn't find a chance. Later, the second room of the Xia family separated, and the Jiang family saw the opportunity to bring down the Xia family. However, not every Xia family abides by self-discipline like him, and the second bedroom of the Xia family is a good breakthrough.

In the past few months, Jiang Yuan's eldest brother, Jiang Zhengnan, has been constantly placing people by Xia Jianren's side. Xia Jianren is an ignorant dude, and on weekdays, those "like-minded" sons and daughters often join his team.

The people arranged by the Jiang family successfully hooked Xia Jianren into an addiction to Wushi powder, and the Wushi powder provided was a special thing added by the Jiang family, which can make people excited and manic and then lose their minds.The purpose of the Jiang family is naturally to lure Xia Jianren to do more extreme things. If one thing can't drag him down, then there will be a hundred of them, until the people complain, and the Jiang family will stab all the criminal evidence in front of the emperor in one fell swoop. At that time, even if the emperor wants to protect the Xia family, he has to see if he can appease the public anger.

The Jiang family predicted that in the next three years, they would use the Xia family's second wife to gradually overthrow Xia Wenbin, the Duke of the Town, but who knew that the results would be achieved in just a few months, which made Jiang Yuan's heart ache. Also a little strange.

"How did this incident get to the emperor today? It's really strange that Mrs. Xia failed to protect the second bedroom of Xia's family even though she went out personally." Jiang Yuan's thoughts were suddenly attracted by Su Lan.

"Your Majesty, it's not surprising at all. You don't know that the second room of Xia's family has a slow-witted wife, and Concubine Shu has a good mother." Su Lan whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

After a while, Jiang Yuan raised her head slowly, and Danfeng's eyes flashed with calculations: "So, the Wei family also got involved in this matter."

"Isn't it? If Xia Jianren's horse hadn't just bumped into Marquis Weiyuan when he was riding in the city, and the carriage of Nongdiwei's family lost control, Marquis Weiyuan wouldn't be angry and drag those dudes into Jing Zhaoyi. During the collision, Xia Jianren fell off his horse and was injured, and the second wife of the Xia family was very stubborn, which made the matter worse and got out of hand." Su Lan said with a smile.

It is naturally extremely gratifying to watch one's opponent be unlucky.It can be said that the Xia family paid a huge price for this matter. You must know that the only one the Xia family can afford is Xia Wenbin. Once he loses his political loyalty, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for the Jiang family.

Jiang Yuan said: "Even though Xia Shao is amazingly talented, there is one thing she is not as good as me, that is, I have three outstanding brothers, but Xia Shao has no brothers who can support her family."

Jiang Yuan's words are not wrong at all. Lu Guogong is not considered a veteran family, and he became the top dignitary in Shangjing because of a queen like Jiang Yuan, but the generation of the Jiang family is full of talents. They are all in important positions, which is why Jiang Yuan's waist is straight. It can be predicted that in another ten years, the three brothers of the Jiang family will push the Duke of Lu's mansion to a new height.

"Since this incident caused the Wei family and the Xia family to have a quarrel, why don't we add fuel to the flames to expand their conflict and form a deadly enmity. The Wei family is fledgling, but the Xia family has no successors. I would rather Let's see who is the stronger of the two." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

Su Lan was slightly stunned and then said: "Your Majesty, it's a good idea. It's really clever to take advantage of the fisherman and hit the two families without any effort."

"Let the eldest brother do this matter, he will arrange it properly if he is bold and careful, and you will spread the word for me." Jiang Yuan ordered again.

The master and the servant spoke back, and Jiang Yuan's hair was also dry. After careful maintenance, her black hair was black and soft. Su Lan helped Jiang Yuanshang into the bed.

Jiang Yuan lay down inside, Su Lan naturally took out a small red bottle from a grid at the head of the bed, Jiang Yuan was already prone on the bed, Su Lan reached out and took off Jiang Yuan's clothes, revealing Bai Xi's smooth back.

Pour out a little essential oil from a small bottle and apply it on Jiang Yuan's beautiful back. Su Lan started to massage gently. She has been doing this job for many years, so naturally she is very aware of the strength.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help sighing comfortably, and closed her eyes slightly.

"The son of King Qin also attacked today?" After a long while, Jiang Yuan asked leisurely.

"Yes, just when the Xia family and the Wei family were confronting each other in front of the emperor, the son of the King of Qin really was fooling around. He even punched and kicked Xia Wentao in the study room, breaking two of Xia Wentao's ribs." Listen to what you think is funny.

Jiang Yuan suddenly opened her eyes: "In other words, the Xia family will have this result, and there will be the effect of Prince Qin's son helping the flames?"

Su Lan said: "It should be. Master Xia and his wife beat the man who beat Jing Zhaoyi and sent the unconscious man back to Jing Zhaoyi with gongs and drums. It was the prince of Qin who broke the news. I don't know what happened to the Xia family. The place has provoked this little overlord, could it be that the prince of Qin himself is the number one dude but he is unwilling to be surpassed by other dudes?"

Su Lan's words were full of jokes, mainly to make Jiang Yuan happy. The emperor likes to indulge the prince of Qin. Naturally, Jiang Yuan, the empress, would not fight against the emperor, not to mention that even the one from the Palace of Compassion and Ning will be the official Jue is like a married grandson, Jiang Yuan has always been polite when meeting Shangguan Jue.

But what makes Jiang Yuan feel uncomfortable is that a large part of the reason why Shangguan Rui likes Shangguan so much is because Shangguanjue lived under his and Xia Shao's knees for five years. The three of them are like a family, and she This continuation is nothing at all.

Of course, even if Jiang Yuan felt uncomfortable, she would not show it, and even played the role of a good aunt in front of Shangguan Jue.

Then Su Lan's words made her feel vigilant, and said: "Do you think it's just the prince of Qin's nonsense? Didn't you forget that the prince of Qin did not hesitate to confront our Jiang family at the gate of Beicheng last time, for the sake of the Wei family, So the behavior of Prince Qin's son today is not his nonsense, but that he is standing on the side of Weiyuanhoufu."
