Chapter 154 The First Fierce Woman of Dazhao
Concubine Nan'an was waiting for something to happen to the Jia family, but unfortunately, nothing happened on the first or second try.
Just when she thought she was wrong, she suddenly saw Concubine Zhen talking so enthusiastically to Old Lady Shi and Shen at the palace banquet, and she couldn't help but realize it.
It must have been this woman who did it.
Otherwise, the King of Jin has such a bad temper...
Concubine Nan'an sighed softly in her heart.
She never looks down on anyone.
Especially those who fought their way up from the palace.
But can Concubine Zhen really endure this?
Even if she can endure it, can her son endure it?
While the Concubine Nan'an was smiling and chatting with others, she was thinking in her heart what the Concubine Zhen would do.
When helping the Cheng family, the Nan'an Palace followed the path of Concubine Zhen.
Facts proved that this was the right decision. Even though the emperor regretted the matter of Princess Baofeng, he never took his anger out on anyone else.
This shows how resourceful Concubine Zhen was.
So, how will she move this time?
The Nan'an Concubine is looking forward to it.
If the Nan'an Palace, as a palace of a foreign royal family with real power, wants to survive, the court cannot be too stable, otherwise the emperor will be able to free up his hands and suppress it comprehensively.
At that time, you either have to hand over your military power, or your descendants will behave themselves from then on.
Or...
The latter dare not think about it for the time being.
Although Dazhao faced various internal and external troubles, they were all within controllable range.
If you act now, you will be a traitor and will not have a good ending.
But the former...
Handing over the military power to ensure peace is just the idea of these ministers. Who knows what the emperor and the emperor really think? Since ancient times, there have been many families of powerful ministers who have been punished after the autumn.
The Concubine Nan'an was talking to someone while sipping her tea. She didn't look over there until she saw the Princess of Jin coming over.
The palace banquet is about to begin.
If Concubine Zhen does not take any action this time, then her enthusiasm towards the Jia family is most likely because she wants to dispel the world's suspicion of the Prince of Jin's Mansion if something happens to the Jia family.
If you do it...
A favored concubine who has been in the harem for so many years and has a favored son, how could she not have a few assassins at hand? So how should she act? Or has she already acted? Concubine Nan'an was guessing, and Shen Ning was also guessing.
"I've heard of Madam Shen's name a long time ago."
Princess Jin was very unhappy when she saw Shen Ning, "She not only trained a good husband, but also a good son."
Her voice was not loud, but not small either.
Several ladies around couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Even now, their husbands are still making fun of the fact that Jia Jing had even his Taoist robe stripped off by Shen.
Everyone said behind her back that Shen was the most fierce woman in Dazhao.
"You are too kind, Princess."
Shen Ning still didn't understand.
"where?"
Princess Jin hated the Jia family for putting her husband under house arrest and for destroying her and the prince's money bags.
It’s hard to say whether the Li family colluded with the Japanese pirates, but the Lu family... was really unlucky.
"Mrs. Shen doesn't know yet, what are people saying about you behind your back?"
“Drink tea!”
Concubine Zhen glanced at her daughter-in-law and smiled at Shen Ning, "Don't listen to the gossip outside."
When one reaches their status, gossip means nothing.
She believed that Shen would not care about those things.
But her daughter-in-law, Princess Jin, was too obsessed with appearance.
Compared with the Queen, she is not even a little bit inferior.
Concubine Zhen was also very angry. It would have been fine if she had just wiped her son's butt, but she had to wipe it for this stupid woman.
"Mother, why are you talking nonsense?"
Princess Jin had no idea of Concubine Zhen's plan.
She only knew that Prince Jin was dissatisfied with everyone at home because of the bad things going on in the Jia family. This morning, he had a disagreement and smashed a Song Ru kiln cup that she loved so much.
That set of tea cups was her dowry and she had always used it carefully, but she didn't expect it to be so broken.
"Who in Dazhao doesn't know that Shen is the most fierce woman in Dazhao?"
“…”
“…”
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
Jia Min was talking to a friend, but when she heard this, she turned around suddenly.
Grandmother Jia forced herself to put on an ugly smile and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Shen Ning smiled, "The most fierce woman in Dazhao?" She seemed to be asking for confirmation, "Me?" You really don't know until you hear it, once you smell it...
"Mrs. Shen doesn't know?"
"Yun~"
Concubine Zhen wanted to stop her daughter-in-law, but Shen Ning had already stood up, "Concubine, please let the princess finish her words, otherwise, she will definitely be unhappy today!"
Compared to the smiling tiger Concubine Zhen, she would rather face the Princess of Jin.
"They say I'm the most fierce woman in Dazhao. Come on, come on, tell me first, who said that?"
"Who needs to tell me? Everyone in Dazhao knows that you stripped Jia Jing of his Taoist robes, and now he is so poor that he has to carry manure at Taixuan Temple?"
Princess Yun of Jin sneered, "And Jia Zhen, I heard that someone gave him silver for free, but he didn't dare to accept it because of your strict family education."
"Oh~, so it's still about the Lu family?"
When Shen Ning suddenly realized what had happened, she was so furious that she grabbed the tea that Lady Jia hadn't had time to drink yet and splashed it on Princess Jin's face.
“Ah~~~~”
Princess Jin was going crazy. A piece of tea leaves stuck to her eyelids. Her clothes, which she had just changed, were wet again. "Ms. Shen, you are so brave."
"Not as brave as the princess."
Shen Ning was not afraid to compete with her in speaking louder than her. "Who is the assassin Xie Zhenghu? If you don't know, go to the government to check, or ask Prince Jin. Ask him if he supports the forces of the previous dynasty, supports the Qing Dynasty in the north, and retaliates and kills the meritorious officials?"
Boom~ It was like a thunderclap, which instantly burned the anger to Princess Jin's head and woke her up even though she was about to ignore it.
All the women in the hall were so frightened that they dared not say a word.
"Bang~"
Concubine Zhen's reaction was faster. She smashed the cup beside her onto the ground and said, "Yun Clan, what kind of place is this? How can you be so presumptuous?"
The words were about the daughter-in-law, but in fact they were also about Shen Ning, "Madam Shen..." The smile on her face finally disappeared, "Please don't be angry, and don't make any associations. The God of Wealth Lu Kun from the West came to Beijing, and in order to prevent others from causing trouble for him, he asked someone to act as a matchmaker. The Yun family was fooled by him and invested a lot of money in the bank to become a shareholder. Who knew that in the end, it was all in vain, so she took her anger out on you."
"...Princess Jin!" Shen Ning called out to her as if she were normal, "Is that so?"
Princess Jin: "..."
She was panting heavily.
If the retired emperor had not been confused, she would have almost been the queen who presided over the palace banquet. How dare Shen bully her like this?
Since marrying Prince Jin, Princess Jin has been the only one who makes others angry, except for enduring the anger of her mother-in-law in the palace and Prince Jin in the palace.
now……
"That's not the case. Could it be that Madam Shen wants to suppress my prince together with the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the north?"
She wanted to overpower Shen Ning with her eyes, but unfortunately she failed.
Princess Jin gritted her teeth and was completely awake.
Shen's is no ordinary imperial decree.
When the crown prince was still alive, Jia Jing enjoyed more respect in the eyes of her father than her husband did.
She was being reckless.
It was thought that Jia Jing and his wife did not dare to stay in the capital, so they hid in a Taoist temple, and their backbone was broken from then on.
Unexpectedly...
Princess Jin felt a little regretful, "You wronged my prince..."
She gritted her teeth again, "Mother!" She knelt down in front of Concubine Zhen, "Please, mother, make the decision for my prince."
Concubine Zhen: “…”
If she had not been immersed in the palace for decades, she would have trained herself to the point where she could remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of her. She did not smash the cup just now, but hit the stupid woman.
It's hateful. She was trying to save face for herself and her son, but this stupid woman was trying to help Shen frame her son.
She slowly exhaled a breath, making sure that no one else could see it, "Mrs. Shen, you are a wise person."
At this moment, Concubine Zhen understood that she had to let Shen admit her mistake first and stand on the side of her daughter-in-law. "You should know that there are some things you should say and some things you shouldn't say. How could the King of Jin have any relationship with the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the north?
You are trying to subdue Princess Jin, but you are really going too far by speaking so recklessly."
"Pass?"
Shen Ning sneered, "Xie Zhenghu assassinated my son on the day I gave birth. His target was not just him. It was clearly the lives of my family of three. In the eyes of the princess, can the lives of my family of three be bought with money? Is it wrong for my son Jia Zhen to take the money and give it to the emperor, asking the emperor to help him catch someone? This has become evidence that I am a shrew. The emperor and the emperor must hope that there are more shrews like me in this world."
She looked down at Concubine Zhen and the kneeling Princess Jin, "It is said that marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations..."
The Prince of Jin probably can’t be pulled down, but what about the Princess of Jin?
Shen Ning knew that no matter whether it was the emperor or Concubine Zhen, they didn't want their son, Prince Jin, to have anything to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the north, so she might as well bite the Princess Jin tightly, "Concubine, your eyesight wasn't very good at the time!"
Concubine Zhen: “…”
Princess Jin: "..."
Both of them were so angry that their faces changed.
Concubine Zhen is familiar with palace fighting. Everyone is sweet-mouthed and treacherous. Who would be so rude and call you a "stupid woman"? Basically, no one fights stupid people.
Because fools never live to fight her.
Princess Jin was a nice girl originally!
now……
“You you…”
Princess Jin turned around and pointed at her with shaking fingers, wishing she could vomit blood.
With her status, even if her mother-in-law made her angry, she would always say something with a hidden meaning, like a needle hidden in cotton. How could she be like this...
Princess Jin's eyes went dark and she was about to faint. Shen Ning spoke again, "Are you going to faint? Then faint! Everyone here has experience."
“…”
“…”
The whole audience was silent.
You know what, everyone has experience with fainting.
Even if you have never fainted yourself, you have seen your mother-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, concubines, and even worse, daughters-in-law faint.
“Ha~”
Princess Cheng, who had just had a fight with Princess Jin, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
However, Concubine Zhen's glare swept over her too quickly, and she quickly held back.
But Princess Jin didn't dare to faint again.
I can't get dizzy anymore.
Although my vision was getting darker and darker, I really couldn't feel dizzy.
She was shaking, "Shen, you..."
"Yun, don't stop talking."
Concubine Zhen couldn't bear to look at her, "Someone, help the princess go down to change her clothes."
The palace servants rushed forward quickly.
They were so scared just now that they almost shrank back.
Now, Princess Jin was half-supported and half-dragged away as quickly as possible.
"Mrs. Shen, I will give you an explanation for what happened today!"
Concubine Zhen was going crazy.
Her original plan was to smile and bring them closer.
Then, during the palace banquet, two dishes were sent to Shen.
Both dishes are poisonous.
The person who poisoned the person was not arranged by her, but was specially selected by her.
After so many years in the palace, she not only has many of her own people, but also many enemies.
She also put a lot of effort into giving her enemy a chance to face death and guiding him to poison her food.
But now…
Let that stupid woman Yun do this. If she does it again, the emperor will definitely be suspicious.
Concubine Zhen had no choice but to give up this plan, "I'm sorry, elder sister."
She sincerely said sorry to Lady Jia.
After all, Shen Ning is her niece-in-law, and the Ning and Rong mansions have always been one.
"Alas~"
Grandmother Jia sighed, stood up, bowed, and said, "Niece-in-law, let's sit over there!"
She originally wanted to comfort the concubine by saying that sons are not under the control of their mothers, let alone their daughters-in-law.
But... I dare not!
When my niece-in-law gets angry, it's really...
Grandmother Jia felt that if it weren't for the wrong occasion and if the status of the Concubine Dowager and the Princess were not too high, Shen would have been able to slap them.
The title of the most fierce woman in Dazhao..., from now on, she will probably be the niece's wife.
Grandmother Jia felt sad.
"There's no need to explain," Shen Ning looked directly into Concubine Zhen's eyes, "I will personally apologize to the Queen."
The princess consort was a first-rank imperial concubine, and so was she, so she had not committed any crime of disrespect.
But she had poured tea on the princess, so to give face to the royal family, she had to apologize.
The emperor might blame her afterwards, but he couldn't just throw her into jail.
At most a downgrade.
As for offending the Prince Jin's Mansion...
I was offended in the first place.
Looking at the attitude of Princess Jin now, it goes without saying that Prince Jin will not spare the Ningguo Mansion if given the chance.
Since they won't let me off anyway, then... it would be safer if I offend them more openly.
Shen Ning bowed and followed Lady Jia's steps, then the Queen came hurriedly over.
Princess Zhongshun felt a little unwell just now, so she asked someone to call the imperial physician.
Because of the good relationship between the two sides, the Queen accompanied him personally.
But I didn't expect that after I was away for a short while, there was a commotion here.
"Your Majesty, you've arrived just in time," Shen Ning bowed, "Just now, in an impulsive moment, I splashed tea all over Princess Jin's face. Please, Your Majesty..."
"It's none of Mrs. Shen's business!"
Concubine Zhen said, "It was the Yun family who was rude first."
Queen: “…”
She hurriedly helped Shen Ning up, "Sister, please get up quickly!"
Although she didn't know the specific reason, since Concubine Zhen said so, she certainly couldn't let Shen Ning down.
The queen called her sister affectionately, "My sister-in-law is a little delicate, please bear with me!"
Ahhh, I really want to know the process.
Why wasn't she here just now?
However, if she were here, Sister Shen would probably not want to throw tea on others.
The queen was excited and curious in her heart, but her face was calm. "If you have anything to say, tell me and I will tell you about her."
The emperor will not help Princess Jin.
On his birthday, Princess Jin, as his daughter-in-law, not only did not help, but also quarreled with others. This alone made her feel unreasonable in the eyes of the retired emperor.
"That's not necessary."
Shen Ning seemed a little embarrassed and said, "After I died once, I decided not to wrong myself from now on. I won't provoke anyone, and no one can provoke me."
The most fierce woman in Dazhao!
Hiss~ Shen Ning's mood was very complicated, "As for Princess Jin..., the Queen Mother said that she would give me an explanation."
