Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 470 The Concubine's Betrayal (2)
Just this morning, Concubine Li Gui came to the empress's palace of kindness to pay her respects, but the empress held her hand and sat down at the head, and said something very earnestly.

"Wan'er will be 17 years old during the Chinese New Year. Although the princess of the Tian family is not worried about getting married, there is a folk saying that if a girl is not allowed to stay, she will become enemies if she stays. This palace plans to choose a marriage for Wan'er. Next year, Wan'er will be married. What do you think about Er Jian's mansion recruiting a son-in-law?"

Concubine Li Gui was grateful on her face, but she replied in her mouth: "The princess's temper is also known to the empress, and she is most unwilling to listen to people's persuasion. Even if it is what the concubine says, she may not listen. Moreover, the emperor seems to intend to keep the princess. Two years."

This is a polite refusal.

The queen is a smart person, why can't she hear it?She was not annoyed, but gradually raised the corners of her lips, smiling deeply: "Wan'er is a good child, considerate and filial since she was a child, the emperor has always liked her, so it doesn't matter if she stays for another two years. However, Wan'er I'm not young anymore, but the marriage should be settled. Otherwise, it will be too late, and those good children from the families of ministers and ministers will not be suitable."

Good children don't worry about marrying, if Yu Wenwan'er doesn't choose, who will wait for her?Especially Yuwen Wan'er's style comment made the queen laugh quite meaningfully.

Concubine Li Gui lowered her head and pinched her palms, feeling a little annoyed at the moment.He forced a smile, and replied: "The concubine will ask her again when she turns around."

The empress said "hmm", and the corners of her curved lips gradually flattened, and said again: "I heard that the two sons of your elder brother's family are not very satisfied with their errands now, are they?"

Concubine Li Gui couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she looked up at the queen.

"Yesterday, I summoned the people from Ning Guogong's mansion, but I heard Ning Guogong mentioned that there are shortages in the official department and the household department recently, and I am picking a suitable young man to take over." The queen straightened her little finger, and saw The inch-long nails are covered with pearls and gemstones, shining brightly in the morning light.

Concubine Li Gui also looked at the nail set, the light reflected from the pearls and gemstones on it made her eyes hurt.However, my heart was beating like a drum.Concubine Li understood what the queen meant—as long as she listened to the queen and entrusted Yuwen Wan'er's marriage to the queen, then the queen would support her mother clan.

For a moment, Concubine Li Gui hesitated in her heart.

Speaking of it, although Concubine Li Gui is a noble concubine, her status in the palace is only lower than that of the queen, and all other concubines have to salute when they see her.However, Concubine Li Gui did not feel safe.Because of her mother's family, Li's family is not the family of Gongqing.

She was originally an ordinary beautiful girl. Because of her good birth and scheming, she was favored by the emperor and was named a noble concubine.Concubine Li Gui many years ago thought so.Then, why did it change?

Probably because she suffered a lot, Li Guifei finally discovered that the reason why she became a noble concubine and let the queen protect her was not because she was smart and obedient, and was favored by the emperor.It's because she has no backing, no matter how high she sits, falling down is only a blink of an eye.As long as the queen thinks about it, Concubine Li Gui can be doomed at any time.

Because the queen's mother clan is so deeply rooted, like a century-old tree, with intertwined roots that cannot be blown down by the wind.Ning Guogong's mansion, Jiang Chengxiang's mansion, the two families are married, who else can bring them down?
Sometimes, Concubine Li Gui thought to herself, isn't the emperor afraid of them too?Otherwise, why would you watch Yu Wenyi gain momentum with cold eyes?He also asked the courtiers to stand in line, isn't it just to see how many people in the court can compete with Duke Ning's mansion and Prime Minister Jiang's mansion, and dare to do so?

No matter what, Concubine Li Gui is just a noble concubine, and a noble concubine with no backing, it is useless for her to think about these things.He just tried his best to flatter the emperor, seek benefits for himself and Yu Wenwan'er.Fortunately, she gave birth to a good daughter, smart and smart, who knew how to please the emperor, and she was no different in the palace.This made Concubine Li Gui's position in the palace undoubtedly stronger.

However, Concubine Li Gui is still uneasy, because the emperor is getting old, and after his death, the new emperor succeeds, what will happen to her?If there are no accidents for the new emperor, it will undoubtedly be Yu Wenjing, then the empress will be the empress dowager, and will enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of her life.

As for her, at best she would be a concubine eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, at worst she would go down to accompany the late emperor.The latter is what Concubine Li Gui does not want.However, the mother's family can't support her anymore, so Concubine Li Gui is often impatient, and wants Yu Wenwan'er to find a reliable husband's family and recruit a capable son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Wan'er has been somewhat rebellious recently, often refusing to listen to her.Concubine Li Gui has been very anxious these days.

The queen threw out an olive branch today, which surprised Concubine Li Gui.I hesitated in my heart, can you believe what the queen said?But if she doesn't believe it, what can she do?Could it be that if she didn't believe it, the queen would let Yu Wenwan'er go, let her go?no, I can not.

In Concubine Li Gui's decades of career in the palace, she has never seen a queen miss.Occasionally there is a miss, which is also a small matter that the queen doesn't care about.If the mother clan can be supported, then when the emperor dies in the future, Concubine Li Gui still has some to rely on.However, what kind of husband's family does the queen intend to find for Yu Wenwan'er?

Concubine Li Gui unconsciously pinched her palms, and asked, "I don't know, Empress, which family do you like?"

When the Queen heard Concubine Li Gui's question, she couldn't help but a slightly sarcastic smile flashed in her eyes. As she expected, Concubine Li Gui would not give up any chance that would benefit her, even if she betrayed her own daughter. : "Qin Hui, the eldest son of Qin Taifu's family."

Hearing this, Concubine Li Gui immediately understood why the queen was willing to support the Li family.Because Taifu Qin is worth wooing!
Back then, when the emperor ascended the throne, he relied on Qin Taifu and other families.Although Qin Taifu is gradually disappearing now, there are many acquaintances among his disciples, even many acquaintances in the court are close to him.Now that Yu Wenyi has threatened the crown prince, the queen's move is to draw Qin Taifu into the team and ask Qin Taifu to support the prince, so that Yu Wenyi has no place to stand up!

"But, my concubine heard that Qin Hui..." Concubine Li pinched her palms involuntarily, her tone a bit embarrassed.

The Empress immediately said incredulously: "Teacher Qin is good at teaching his son, then Qin Hui is also a gentle and considerate good boy, and it is just right to match Wan'er's violent temper!"

Concubine Li Gui was shocked, her nails sank deeper into her palms, but she finally lowered her head and did not question anymore.

So, there was this scene.

Concubine Li Gui was walking behind the queen, feeling quite worried, if Yu Wenwan'er insisted and messed up the queen's calculations, how would she explain to Yuwen Wan'er so that she wouldn't be too sad?After all, it is the flesh and blood born of October's pregnancy, and she has been very filial these years. Concubine Li Gui does not want Yu Wenwan'er to be too sad.

At this moment, she was thinking in her heart that if Yuwen Wan'er was being rude, she would persuade Yuwen Wan'er to listen to the queen.After all, women tend to live longer than men. After the death of the emperor, the empress must be able to become the empress dowager and become half of the ruler of the Dashun Dynasty.Follow the queen's arrangement, only the best, nothing better.
