Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 116 A Good Queen

After about half an hour, the carols of the officials of the Ministry of Rites finally finished, and everyone kowtowed three more times under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Mother, I'll support you!" Gan Fu saw that the third aunt had been kneeling for a long time, so she stepped forward to support the third aunt.Because it was to celebrate the emperor's birthday, she could not bring a maid, so Ganfu had to do it herself.

Third Auntie didn't refuse. After kneeling for so long, her leg is no longer her own.

Seeing what Gan Fu did, Mrs. Su immediately stepped forward to the eldest lady, "Mother, I will help you!" Although the eldest lady didn't want to see her, her mother said that as long as she didn't make mistakes, Gan Qi would be fine. Dare to stop his wife and remarry, so she must fulfill her duty as a daughter-in-law and not let the eldest lady find fault.

Although the eldest lady doesn't want to see the Su family, on such an occasion, especially when the headed wife and several daughters-in-law of the Su family are not far away, she can't let others talk, so with a decent smile on her face, she will Hand over to Su Shi.

Gan Lu has resumed his post of prime minister, and the seats of the people in Gan's mansion have been placed in the front seats.Next to them happened to be Su's natal family, the family of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.

Seeing her mother and sisters, Mrs. Su was naturally happy, and went up to greet her family members. The eldest lady was displeased, but she didn't dare to show it at this moment. She just sat there and looked at the second daughter Gan who was sitting far away. Qiang.

Gan Qiang is now more than five months old, her belly is big, her face has not been affected by her pregnancy, she is still beautiful and moving, today she is wearing a blue palace dress, compared to many concubines around her.Seeing her daughter, the lady's face softened.After that, the eldest lady looked at her fourth daughter Gan Wei who was sitting on the other side. Gan Wei and Tao Xun were sitting together, their beautiful appearance immediately compared Tao Xun, and the eldest lady was even more happy.

Today, all the dignified people from Nanming came, and there were so many foreign guests, especially the members of the clan, which occupied more than half of the seats in front. Of course, the upstarts like Ganfu couldn't sit too far in the front, so, Ganfu He could only vaguely see the prince sitting in the most honorable seat at the front.It could be seen that the emperor cared a lot about his eldest son, even though he was implicated by the Shen family, he still gave him the respect he deserved when he came back.

"Mother, let's have something to eat now. Today's banquet will be delayed until very late. If we toast each other later, we won't be able to eat anything!" It was not the first time Ganfu participated in such a banquet, but three It was the first time for Auntie to remind her when she saw Third Aunt sitting there in good order and did not dare to touch the food on the table.

"Okay!" The third aunt saw this kind of battle for the first time, she was a little nervous, and only started to eat after listening to Ganfu's reminder.

The eldest lady snorted coldly when she saw that the third aunt was looking like a bumpkin, and ignored her.

"The prince is back?" After exchanging pleasantries with her natal family, Mrs. Su returned to her seat, only then did she see the prince in front of her, and looked at Ganfu in surprise.

"Yeah, the prince is back!" Gan Fu felt melancholy. At the beginning, she thought that she would grow old with that person forever, but she didn't expect that it would be so close.Although she didn't love the prince, she still cared because she knew that he would be her husband since she was a child.Shen Hui is dead, the emperor will definitely choose another concubine for the prince, who knows which lady will be lucky enough to be favored by a gentle gentleman like the prince?
"I heard that the empress will choose a concubine for the crown prince today. Hey, what a pity that Shen Hui is!" The Shen family and the Gan family have a good relationship. Shen Hui has been to the Gan family before, so the Su family has met Shen Hui twice. I'm still a little surprised that such a fairy-like person died like that.

"Really?" Ganfu smiled lonely, then picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, "There is no shortage of beauties at any time, let alone the current prince, as long as he is willing, what kind of beauties can't be obtained?" !"

"To be honest, Shen Hui has a good temper, intelligent and humble, very similar to the empress of today. If she can become the future empress, she must be a good empress!" The Su family comes from the Su family, a scholarly family , even if she is a concubine, she is well-bred, so she is not as ignorant as ordinary women.

"The deceased is dead, let alone the daughter of a guilty minister, sister-in-law should not talk about it!" Gan Fu drank the wine in her hand and poured herself another glass.

"Little sister, drink less, there will be other wives and misses coming to toast later, if you get drunk, it's not good!" Ever since Gan Fu said that on the flower boat last time, Su Shi has grown a little more towards this sister I like it. Seeing Ganfu drinking like this, she quickly pressed the wine glass in Ganfu's hand.

Gan Fu was just unhappy, Su reminded her, put down her wine glass, smiled bitterly, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern!"

"What's on my sister's mind?" Seeing Gan Fu's preoccupied look, Mrs. Su couldn't help asking.In this family, only Ganfu can say a few words to her among the sisters.The eldest lady has always looked down on the concubines, so she usually can't talk too much with the concubines at home. Gan Wei's temper is not easy to give, so there are too few people who can talk to her at home.

"Concern? No, I just don't like this kind of occasion!" Ganfu shook her head, immediately put away her sad emotions, and then started to talk about some family issues with Su Shi.The two of them had a heart-to-heart connection, and the conversation went smoothly.

At this time, foreign envoys began to present birthday gifts, rare treasures, everything, and two small tribes presented beauties.To the west of Nanming are some small countries in the Western Regions. They live as nomads and live by water and grass. Because they live in no fixed place, they have not established a formal imperial power, but they rely on Nanming's rich supplies to intersect with the big countries in the Western Regions farther away.Because these small tribes have been interbreeding with countries in the Western Regions, their appearance has changed a lot. They have big eyes and high noses, curly hair and thick eyebrows, tall and tall, bold and casual personalities, and the women are beautiful and generous, or should I say bold. I heard that they only need to match up with others One song, you can have wild sex, don't care about the chastity of women.

The four beauties presented today have graceful figures and exquisite facial features. Their colorful costumes, coupled with their three-dimensional facial features, are even more charming and charming.When the emperor saw these beauties, his eyes were straightened, and he immediately accepted them generously, and even rewarded the two small tribes with a lot of porcelain tea.

The queen beside her looked a little displeased, but due to etiquette, she still had to maintain an elegant smile.Today's emperor can be regarded as a Mingjun when he was young, he was diligent and upright, and he and the empress were young couples.But since what happened to the Shen family, the empress has completely given up on the emperor, so the empress never asks which palace the emperor is staying in now, even if the emperor came to her palace on his own initiative, she mostly refused on the grounds that she was not feeling well. .No way, no one can turn a blind eye to watching his entire family die at the hands of his husband.

The queen knew that what she did would only push the emperor further away, but she didn't care anymore. If it wasn't for the fact that the prince was still young and hadn't married yet, she really wished she could leave with her family, and she wouldn't have to dream about her family every night A scene of tragic death and suffering.The queen looked at the prince who was sitting at the bottom with a lonely expression, and she felt pity in her heart, so she said, "My lord, what are you not used to these days when you come back?"

"The empress is very happy to be able to come back to be filial to my father and mother, and I am not used to it!" The prince belongs to the type of modest gentleman, as gentle as jade, and his soft facial features make people look like a spring breeze, very friendly , so even if he was telling a lie, no one would notice it.

The emperor felt relieved when he heard that his favorite son was so sensible, "Well, the emperor suffered a lot outside, if you have any requests when you come back, just tell your mother!"

"My son is not suffering!" The crown prince bowed his hands to the emperor, "as long as the father and mother are in good health, the husband and wife live in harmony, the people live in peace, and the world is peaceful, no matter how much the son suffers, it will be worth it!"

This is why the emperor likes this son so much. The other princes are always respectful and distant when they see him, so that he only feels that they are monarchs and ministers. However, no matter when the prince always regards him as a father first, treats him as a father. The queen, the queen and myself are regarded as a family, followed by the monarch and ministers and the world.This made him feel the family warmth of ordinary people, as well as the care and respect from his son.After hearing what the prince said, the emperor smiled even brighter, "The emperor is back, and I have an extra helper. You just came back a few days ago, and I saw that you have suffered so much, so I let you rest. Now Seeing that your expression has recovered, from tomorrow onwards, you will assist me in dealing with the affairs of the court!"

"My son obeys the order!" The prince stood up, kowtowed to the emperor, and then sat back on his seat.

Nangong Yu, who was beside the prince, nodded in relief, while the other princes and members of the royal family were not so calm.It stands to reason that if the prince wants to assist the government, he must be married. Now the emperor has skipped this link and directly let the prince assist the government. This is the emperor's signal to all courtiers. The prince is still the prince, and no one can replace the prince. .Isn't their hard work these days in vain?Especially those courtiers who saw the prince suffering and taking refuge in King Xian and the sixth prince, are now so regretful that their intestines are green.And those determined courtiers secretly rejoiced that they were stable at that time.

The emperor's words caused a surge of undercurrents below. The emperor was well aware of the recent changes in the court, but this was exactly what he wanted, so he was happy to see it come true.

Huo Lan and Luo Yin were the last to come in. Both of them were wearing formal clothes today, especially Luo Yin. That Beiyan court dress made him less gorgeous and loose than the red clothes before, and he looked like a domineering general. , which surprised Ganfu.Black is the most respected in Beiyan, so the clothes of the members of the royal family and the court officials are all black.Huolan's crown prince's formal attire is black snow silkworm brocade. Speaking of snow silkworm brocade, everyone first thinks of Wen Fei, and so does Gan Fu.In Nanming, snow silkworm brocade is unique to Wenfei, but in Beiyi, it is the royal cloth for members of the royal family and high officials in the court.

Most of the birthday gifts sent by Beiya were furs and medicinal materials. Speaking of which, although most of Beiya was located in the mountains and the climate was very cold, Beiya's economy was developing very well.I heard that there was a heroic emperor in Beijia hundreds of years ago, who managed a poor and weak Beijia into a rich country. In addition, the war horses and livestock in Beiyan were even more unavailable to Nanming.Because of the flat terrain, fertile soil, warm climate, and very developed agriculture in Nanming, the emperor in Beiya did not know where he got it, so he introduced rice and wheat from Nanming to Beiya. The national power is almost on par with Nanming.
