Chapter 157 Concubine (2)
If Jiang Ruan's talent is incomparable to Ang Lee, it is an excellent help. Anyway, he wants to win over the Jiang family, and marrying Jiang Ruan and Jiang Susu is no different. Jiang Susu is now in a bad reputation, but Jiang Ruan is so smart... He remembered Jiang Ruan's charming face, which was young but had already left, and he felt a sense of comfort.
If he could take it for himself, if he could take it for himself... He suddenly smiled, swept away the gloomy expression before, and said, "Prepare, I'm going to go to the palace to see my mother."
It is unknown who will win the destiny.
Green tiles and red walls, heavy curtains, and the magnificent palace looks bright and beautiful, but I don’t know how many white bones are buried deep.
Simeng Palace is located in the southeast corner of the palace. The environment here is quiet and adjacent to a large area of peony garden. It is a peony sent by the emperor from Luoyang, and is carefully treated by craftsmen and transplanted here. Whenever the peony flowers bloom, the peony garden is colorful and the most beautiful.
The one living here is one of the four concubines, Concubine Chen, who is now quite favored by the holy people, and the biological mother of the eighth prince.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable. Concubine Chen's father held military power and sent Concubine Chen into the palace to express his support for the emperor. For the emperor, the throne was stable and guaranteed. The Chen family had certain kindness with him, and Concubine Chen was gentle and graceful, beautiful, and talented. He never competed with all beauties. The emperor loved her uncontested temperament and protected her intentionally or unintentionally. Later, Concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth prince Xuanli, and her mother was noble by her son and became the leader of the four concubines.
The queen gave birth to a crown prince, among the four concubines, the virtuous concubine gave birth to a fourth prince, the devil gave birth to a fifth prince, and the Shufei gave birth to Princess Heyi.
All court officials know that the eighth prince Xuan Li is smart and gentle, the fifth prince Xuan Hua is loyal and brave, the fourth prince Xuan Lang is mediocre, and Princess Heyi is pretty and beautiful. The prince is mediocre and has no talent and cannot be used. The fourth prince Xuan Lang is kind but has no scheming. Now the stroke of the court is biased towards Xuan Li and Xuan Hua. The emperor has always treated Concubine Chen very well. Although Xuan Hua is also very powerful, his mother Concubine De is not as favored as Concubine Chen.
The court was filled with wind and clouds, but the Simeng Palace was warm and prosperous, as if it was far away from intrigue and jealousy. There were only a lot of long time to make a quiet dream of missing the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
The white jade in the room was covered with a thick Persian wool blanket, a slender and white fluffy, and a dazzling gem of stars. The four maids in thin white shirts all had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, quietly standing in place with their heads hanging down. The breeze outside blew slightly, lifting up a corner of the curtain, just like a fairy above the palace of the Nine Heavens.
The woman on the seat was seriously urging her. Her delicate jade hands did not apply a little bit of a nipples. Her fingernails emitted a faint pink luster, and her delicate jade fingers flew flexibly up and down. Unlike other women in the palace, this woman looked at her without any high aura. She bit the silk thread and showed a pretty face. Her facial features were beautiful, without any aggressiveness, and had a kind of tenderness like water. It seemed that she was not an unattainable concubine in the palace, but just a young girl in the boudoir of a family in the south of the Yangtze River. She was clear, sweet, gentle, and graceful.
Jiang Susu was already born with a beautiful and unparalleled beauty, but there was a bit of deliberate element. This woman was not exactly the case. Even in these nine palaces, there was a kind of incompatible tenderness and grace. It was the softness of water engraved into her bones.
She smiled gently in the corner of her lips. If someone passed by at this moment, she would have thought that the scene in front of her was the same as the name of the hall, and it was just a dream of romance and romance.
The curtain was lifted heavily, and a figure walked in and said with a smile: "Mother."
Concubine Chen put down the loop in her hand, looked at the person who came, and suddenly smiled: "I won't let anyone inform you."
Xuan Li looked at the woman who was so close to her, and his anxiety-ridden heart slowly calmed down. Concubine Chen had a special magic, as if the world was so complicated that it was in her hands, just like these dense silk threads, which could be easily clarified and turned into colorful meridians.
Xuan Li said: "Do you know about the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Concubine Chen paused slightly and said, "I know."
The palace is so big, and there are so many palace servants coming in and out every day that even if they don’t want to know, it will come to her ears. Concubine Chen knew about the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but she was not worried about Xuan Li, and Xuan Li was not depressed. He said, “My son wants to ask his mother to do a favor.”
"What's the busy thing?" Concubine Chen smiled slightly.
"I beg my mother to persuade my father and ask my father to marry my eldest daughter." Xuan left.
Concubine Chen had a gentle and calm expression, but she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard him, frowned and said, "What?"
"The father has already begun to doubt his son's ministers about the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xuan Li said: "But the mother can't help with this matter."
Concubine Chen is favored in the palace now. In addition to Lord Chen and Concubine Chen themselves, what is more important is that she is smarter than the other three concubines. She always looks gentle and considerate and considerate, and does not discuss the affairs of the court, nor does she control the emperor's decision. When the emperor comes to Simeng Palace, he will always have only a wonderful dream. The emperor's attention is her uncompetitive nature. If he pleads for himself or expresses a little such meaning, since ancient times, the king will be suspicious and will never favor her without any grudges as before.
Concubine Chen knew this, and Xuan Li knew this, so he would not easily ask Concubine Chen for help plead with him. He knew that even if the emperor had some doubts about him, as long as Concubine Chen was favored for one day, the emperor would not really give up on him.
"The Jiang family is involved with the Xia family. If something happens to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the direction of the court changes. The sons must consolidate their power and also show their relationship with the Xia family to everyone. If they take action rashly, the father will also suspect that Miss Jiang is not favored by the Jiang family. Through her name, the father can relax his vigilance, but he will not break off all contact with the Xia family."
Concubine Chen looked at Xuan Li quietly: "Your Highness, you didn't tell the truth to me."
Xuan Li's eyes stagnated. He knew that this mother was smart, otherwise why would she be so steadily in the cannibalistic harem. The emperor knew that she must not be completely unscheming, but she was still willing to favor her like this. This is her grasp of people's hearts.
In fact, on his way to fight for the throne, Concubine Chen also gave him many ideas, and even the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince who had disappeared quietly in the palace were inseparable from Concubine Chen.
But so what? Now those people have already become a handful of flowers under the peony flowers, but Concubine Chen's chair has sat more steadily.
