Although the Shengxuan Dynasty did not allow women to participate in politics, they also took human relations into account. As long as they were not involved in government affairs and foreign relatives were not in power, the families of concubines could visit their daughters in the palace twice a month.
So as soon as the court was over, Xiao Mingqian came to Minglan Hall amidst everyone's scornful eyes and gossip.
This Minglan Hall was originally a side hall of Kunning Palace, and Xiao Mingling lived here when he was a palace maid. After she was favored by the emperor, the queen was in charge, and she changed the name of this place to her own family. Although she was said to be the lord of the first palace, she was actually the queen's personal maid. The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, so he doesn't care about a beauty who doesn't take care of him, so he gave him a title and kept his eyes closed.
Xiao Mingqian came here to discuss with his daughter, so that he could feel at ease. Unexpectedly, the palace man told him that Mingmei was not there, and went to Kunning Palace to serve the queen.
For the first time, he felt that his daughter serving the queen was so tiresome, Xiao Mingqian felt sullen for a while, and turned around to leave Minglan Hall. Since he didn't dare to go to Kunning Palace to disturb him, he could only walk back resentfully, preparing to leave the palace.
Suddenly bumping into a person, Xiao Mingqian was furious immediately, and blurted out: "Bold slave"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mingqian was slapped heavily on the face.
Xiao Mingqian was stunned all of a sudden.
After seeing clearly who he bumped into, he was so frightened that he almost fainted, and kowtowed on the ground with a plop, unable to even speak: "Slave, slave, kowtow, kowtow, see the emperor! The emperor forgives you!" !"
Forgiveness? Shen Haochen was determined to kill Xiao Mingqian at this moment.
How can such a dignified second-rank official of the imperial court be a servant who keeps his mouth open and silent? How can such a person be worthy of Yingniang?
Was he in a daze back then to marry Yingniang to this kind of person?
So what if you don't love him? So what if you hate him? Even Xiao Mingqian, who is not as good as shit, can take Yingniang's body and give birth to a child. Why can't he, Shen Haochen, why can't he?
Bending down and grabbing Xiao Mingqian's collar, Shen Haochen's eyes almost burst into flames.
One slap was not enough, he wanted to cut this person into pieces, deep-fry him in an oil pan, and chop him into minced meat.
However, suddenly a pair of clear and clean eyes appeared in my mind, with melancholy unwillingness, and a bit of cunning and recklessness that Shen Haochen was unfamiliar with.
That boy, that boy named Xiao Hong?
Suddenly letting go of his hand, Shen Haochen's complexion returned to normal: "Did Xiao Aiqing come from Ming Zhaoyi?"
Ming Zhaoyi? Xiao Mingqian was taken aback, there were not only two steps between the beauty and Zhaoyi, but also Jieyu, Fangyi, Wanyi, Shunyi, Xianyi, Deyi, Boyi, Shuyi and Chongyi, which were canonization. Not so fast, is the emperor confused?
The old eunuch Xi Lu next to the emperor cast a contemptuous glance at Xiao Mingqian, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Mingmei"
"Why? Can I say she is Ming Zhaoyi?" Shen Haochen suddenly said as if he was angry with others: "I will pass on my will to seal Xiao Mingling as Ming Zhaoyi and enjoy a fourth-rank salary. From now on, move out of Ming Dynasty." Lantang, stay in the Jiaofang Palace!"
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.
Xiao Mingqian couldn't believe his ears, what did the emperor say? Let Mingling live in Jiaofang Palace? That palace that even the empress dare not expect extravagantly, that Jiaofang palace that the emperor only reserved for one person in his life. Could it be that they are all wrong, the emperor's favorite person is Ming Ling?
Some people from the palace had gone to report a long time ago. Before the people here came back to their senses, a group of hurried women had already come to Kunning Palace. The first to lead is the queen.
It was Xiao Mingling who followed the queen. At this time, her pretty face was flushed red, she didn't know whether to be happy or worried, she just felt her heart fluttering, and almost fell down several times.
"Your Majesty!" Here Shen Haochen is still sulking, while the queen over there has already walked up panting with her clothes hem in hand.
It was too late to salute, the queen exclaimed: "Your Majesty can't do it! Although Mingmei has served the Emperor for many years, but"
"The queen also knows that Ming Zhaoyi has served me for many years, so why didn't she remind me of her rank for so many years? Well, yes, maybe Ming Zhaoyi should give me a prince!"
The queen's teeth hurt, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine didn't say that she couldn't be promoted to Ming Zhaoyi, it's just that Jiaofangdian"
"Um?"
The sound of "um" carried so much tyranny and killing that the queen couldn't help shivering. But she is the lord of the Six Palaces after all, so she calmed down and forced a smile and said: "If the emperor really loves Ming Zhaoyi, just reward her with the newly renovated Fengyi Palace, why do you have to use the pepper room?" Hall? The Jiaofang Hall"
&nbsRespecting one's own mother is generally filial to one's aunt. No, you should honor your aunt more than honoring your mother.
Glancing at his son with dissatisfaction, Shen Haochen said absently: "Whose marriage? Why is Sister Lao bothering so much?"
"Hehe!" Princess Tianzheng smiled and said, "I do know that this person is Xiao Qingling, the fifth daughter of Zhongfeng doctor Xiao Mingqian who was rejected by Xuan'er not long ago!"
Xiao Mingqian, who had just reached the door, stopped abruptly, not daring to take a step forward.
Shen Mingxuan was so happy that he almost fainted, couldn't hold back, stood up and walked behind Princess Tianzheng, and was ready to pinch Princess Tianzheng's shoulders and loosen her bones.
"Xuan'er should serve the queen mother!" Avoiding Shen Mingxuan's hand, Princess Tianzheng sat down lightly.
Shen Haochen stared at her for a while, then suddenly showed his face and said: "Sister Huang really agrees with me. I brought the Queen and Xiao Mingqian here today, just to talk to Miss Huang about Xiao Hong, Miss Xiao Wu's brother. Miss Wu is the mediator, I will approve it!"
Just after the words were finished, suddenly realizing that Xiao Mingqian was not there, Shen Haochen immediately said displeasedly: "Where is Xiao Mingqian?"
"The slave is here, the slave is here!" Xiao Mingqian quickly lifted the curtain and came in, his face pale and sweaty, and he fell to his knees as soon as he entered the door, not even daring to lift his head.
"Hmm!" He gave him a disgusted look: "Queen Mother, Sister Huang, I just appointed Xiao Mingling, daughter of Xiao Aiqing, as a virtuous concubine today, and she will live in the Jiaofang Palace. What do the Queen Mother and Sister Huang think?"
The Empress Dowager and Princess Tianzheng stood up abruptly, but they were more calm than the Empress, they were stunned, looked at each other, and said in unison: "As long as the emperor (brother) likes it, Aijia ( Queen) No objection!"
"That's it!" Provocatively raised his chin at the queen, then looked at Xiao Mingqian, finally a smile appeared on Shen Haochen's face: "I saw Xiao Aiqing's second son Xiao Hong at Caishikou today, he is really a beautiful young man with amazing talent, I'm afraid that Pan An's rebirth will be nothing more than Gan's rebirth. So I plan to announce him into the palace to be Fu'er's companion!"
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.
Xiao Mingqian almost jumped up from the ground, Brother Hong? Has the emperor seen Brother Hong? At Caishikou? Which daring slave is this who brought Brother Hong out of the Xiao Mansion privately?
He is not confused when others are confused. If Brother Hong is pleasing, he would admit it, but a beautiful boy with amazing talent? Pan An is reborn as Bigan? If this is his Brother Hong, he Xiao Mingqian would dare to crash to death on the pillar of the Compassionate Ning Palace right now.
The Fu'er that the emperor said was none other than the sixth prince who is the most beloved by the emperor today. Although this son was not born by the empress, he was extremely intelligent. Nian Xiao, who was only eleven or twelve years old, was able to speak well. If he was not careful, Brother Hong's life would be lost. Didn't that mean that Xiao Mingqian should cut off his children and grandchildren?
"Emperor, Your Majesty"
Before Xiao Mingqian could finish his words, Shen Mingxuan answered, "Father, this matter is inappropriate."
Father doesn't know who this Xiao Hong is, how can he not know? What accompanying reading? It is obvious that the father saw Qing Ling at Caishikou today, and his thoughts were aroused. If Qing Ling was really allowed to enter the palace, how could this fake Feng Xuhuang's tricks be concealed? just in case?
The thought of Qingling becoming his concubine mother made Shen Mingxuan murderous.
"Huh?" Shen Haochen's expression darkened, and he said, "What's wrong?"
"It's really wrong!" Following the prestige, it was Princess Tianzheng who answered, and Shen Haochen was stunned.
"The emperor's intentions are good, but, have you ever thought of doing bad things with good intentions?" Glancing at Xiao Mingqian who was shaking like a sieve, Princess Tianzheng slowly got up, "The emperor has appointed Lord Xiao's eldest daughter as a virtuous concubine. He also agreed to Miss Xiao Wu's marriage, if he recruits Second Young Master Xiao into the palace to be Fu'er's companion, what about the Xiao family? Ha ha!"
Her huh heh really had a profound meaning, and Shen Haochen's heart immediately rang an alarm.
He only wanted to get Xiao Hong into the palace to see him from time to time, and at the same time asked Xiao Mingling to help him avoid sloppy eyes. How could he consider foreign relatives interfering in politics? Let the Xiao family grow bigger overnight, what if? He didn't even dare to think about what happened next.
? I broke out in a cold sweat, and felt warm again. After all, the Huangjie was born of the same mother, but she loves him. Everyone flatters or opposes him. How can anyone be as caring as the Huangjie, and think so thoughtfully for him?
The eldest princess of the zither arched her hands, and Shen Haochen showed shame: "It's still the emperor who loves me! Forget it, then don't want this companion!"
"Hehe! The emperor is still as naughty as when he was a child!" Covering her lips with a smile, Princess Tianzheng said: "The emperor loves Fuer, so why is it so difficult to find a better companion for Fuer? In the name of Jishantang, not to mention Mr. Xiao's ability, even Mr. Xiao Mu's ability, Fu'er can also learn it!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)?The skill is that of Mr. Xiao Mu, and Fuer can also learn it! "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
