Chapter 494 The pain of deceiving comes to an end 42
After all, she is still a child. In comparison, the crown prince's main concubine and Zhao's side concubine are much more difficult to deal with.
It was precisely because she was still a child that the prince took her into the palace. One more is not too much, one less is not a lot. Having Prime Minister Zhou’s granddaughter as a concubine has only advantages and no disadvantages. Anyway, when you get to the throne, no matter what woman you want, there are three thousand beauties, and there will always be one suitable for you.
After making snacks, Princess Xining presented a jade Ruyi, and the two concubines presented a set of heads and noodles worth a thousand taels of silver, and each also presented two pieces of cloud brocade. This gift is neither big nor small, just passable. Don't blame her for not giving generous gifts. Who is called Xiliang Elementary School?
Less than half a month later, a minister suggested that since the prince was married, there was no need to observe filial piety, and it would be better to return to the court as soon as possible to discuss politics together.
They had just gotten married, so they were anxious to help the prince find an opportunity to consolidate his position... Xue Pinggui knew this, but he could only agree. After all, the prince was already old and they were getting married, so it was unreasonable to suppress him anymore.
After getting the news, the prince did not forget to go to Zhaoyangyuan to announce the good news.
Seeing the prince come to greet this idle queen, it seems that the prince is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and is better than his father.
When Xining heard that the prince was going to court tomorrow, he reminded him: "After one year of filial piety, many things have become unfamiliar. Sometimes it is easy to be strong. Listen more and speak less, and listen more to the opinions of His Majesty and other ministers." .”
The prince chewed the words in his heart several times and asked: "What if my father insists on listening to my opinion?"
Xining said with a smile: "Then we should also listen to the words of other ministers, and then we can adopt reasonable opinions. Don't all the ministries perform their own duties? If they have nothing to say, it proves that they are incompetent."
This is a good approach, taking retreat in order to advance. It does not appear to be very strong or a person without ideas, but it also shows that one is good at listening. Isn't this what those ministers need, a crown prince who listens to them. The prince nodded.
Xi Ning left the prince to eat, and the table was full of the prince's favorite food.
The prince was very grateful: "My mother is so kind to me."
In fact, she couldn't remember what the prince liked to eat at all. Anyway, there were many palace maids and servants around her, so she chose someone with a good memory and good inquiring skills to remember these messy things.
"Then eat more!" Xining asked Xiaoyue, who was waiting next to her, to help the prince pick up the food with serving chopsticks. Her mother-in-law said motherly: "Living alone outside, you have to coax the prince well. She has to run the prince's house. I can't help but take care of you. The concubines should also persuade them, and the most important thing is to coax them. The most important thing is to let your majesty have a grandson. "
What's the fuss about? If His Majesty can have a grandson, wouldn't it improve the relationship? Now every time his father sees him, he has completely lost the kindness he had before. He is cold and indifferent, and even beats him from time to time. Is he coveting the throne? This life is really difficult.
The prince thought this was another good idea and silently wrote it down.
After lunch, the prince took his leave and returned home. Xue Pinggui came and fought with Lin'er for a while after taking a nap. Sun Meiren, whose belly grew as big as an inflated balloon, came over and saluted, said a few words that were neither salty nor bland, and then left.
In the evening, news came that Xue Pinggui was staying at Zhou Meiren's place.
Since Dai Zan's death, Xue Pinggui only favored newcomers, and several concubines became pregnant. To avenge the rumors that he had health problems and had been circulating for more than ten years.
But those old people are miserable, and they often only see them once every two or three months. Concubine Shu and Concubine De can still take care of the palace, but Xiao, Lin, He and Qian, who have been named Jieyu, are stuck holding on to their empty rooms. He watched helplessly as other concubines were favored, and some were granted a higher title if they were pregnant, and another level if they gave birth to an heir.
As long as you get pregnant or give birth to a child, you can get a level up. Those women worked hard to nourish their bodies and calculated the right time to wait for the king to come. Xining spends half an hour every day weaving and making patterns, and the rest of the time he grows flowers and grass, reads and entertains his children, and his life is pretty good.
The prince is also considered smart. After he came to court, he never got ahead of himself. Even if Duke Zhao asked the Crown Princess to remind the Crown Prince to be more active and behave better, the Crown Prince would still be cautious in his words and deeds.
But good days are always short-lived. Less than half a year later, something happened.
I don't know what the news is, saying that the prince and Zhao Guogong have united to plot rebellion. The prince and Duke Zhao were sent to the prison on the spot and imprisoned temporarily. Zhao Guogong's mansion was immediately turned upside down. Nothing that was treasonous was found, but some treasonous things were found. But no one is the same. Xiliang copied the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but how can Xiliang compare with the Tang Dynasty?
The Crown Princess came, and as soon as she came in, she knelt down and began to cry and beg.
Oh my god, Xining was really shocked.
"Mother, please help me, save the prince, save the father of my daughter-in-law!" The princess cried so hard that she was already pregnant with the child, wearing loose clothes, and her belly had just swelled slightly.
Xining felt powerless to complain. She just wanted to be a quiet queen of idleness. Why would anything happen be blamed on her?
It was not a problem for the Crown Princess, who was four months pregnant, to kneel like this.
Xi Ning asked someone to help the Crown Princess up, and then asked someone to prepare a few side dishes, put them in the food box, and took her to Tianlao to visit the Crown Princess.
He was stopped when he arrived at the gate of Tianyao. When the gatekeeper saw the phoenix chariot and the guard of honor, he did not dare to be arrogant and smiled: "Queen, your majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to visit!"
"What a courage!" Xiaoyue cheered up: "Who is the Queen? Her mother's love for the world is her destiny! Is the emperor's wife an ordinary person? If you dare to stop me again, be careful if His Majesty finds out and beats you up. Exile.”
"Okay!" Since the high pressure continues, she should be gentle. Xi Ning said gently: "Don't make things difficult for others. Just take the food box and I will go in with you and come out after delivering the food."
This is not about going in! The doorkeeper was full of bitterness and could only watch the queen walking into the door with her personal maid.
After entering the gate, the cell leader rushed over after hearing the news and kowtowed.
Xi Ning said straightforwardly: "Open the door, I will bring the food in, and leave once you see the prince. If you don't see the prince, I will ensure that your head falls on the ground after I return." If you are afraid, just cooperate if you are afraid of death.
After hearing this, the cell leader immediately went to open the cell door and personally led the way in. He was very attentive, for fear of offending the queen, and when the queen returned, he would really have nothing to gain.
That’s right, without a formal imperial edict, everything can be changed.
It feels like I have gone back to Tianlao so many times, and there are ancient civilizations that have perished. The common feature of Tianlao is that it strives to create a spooky, stinky and damp environment, and is infested with mosquitoes and rats.
