Chapter 102 Eye
Drops Yikun Palace -
Fenyun covered her mouth with amusement: "It's strange, how come Concubine Li was under house arrest, and Concubine Zhen was also under house arrest? Why did she go to provoke the Empress Dowager for no reason?" Empress
Zhu stroked her hair and looked left and right in the bronze mirror: "It can be seen that wealth and wealth can dazzle the eyes. Concubine Zhen, who was once cautious and kind, has also learned to use the power of the tiger to bully others. She has become arrogant because the emperor protects her."
The emperor once praised Concubine Zhen for her kindness and liked her sincerity.
Now that she has become the emperor's favorite concubine, how much of her kindness and sincerity is left?
Emperor Xuanwu felt that Concubine Zhen was getting more and more favored by him.
Empress Zhu still didn't understand the emperor's character. When he liked someone, that person would be perfect. Even if there were some bad things about her, that was her lovable side.
Before Jiang Xinyue was confined to the Hexi Palace, Emperor Xuanwu took her to the Yu Study to meet Jiang Yankun. Her stepfather was shocked that she was discussing state affairs with the emperor, and her daughter, who was said to have offended the empress dowager and was confined, appeared here.
The emperor patted Jiang Yankun on the shoulder and said, "My dear Jiang, there is no need to be polite. There are no outsiders here and there is nothing that cannot be said."
Jiang Xinyue's eyes were full of joy. She stepped forward and held her stepfather's arm and said, "Father, I heard from the emperor that my great uncle is now living in our house. I have never met him! He is so brave and fearless of power. He dares to expose the bribery of his superiors. I really admire him."
Jiang Yankun glanced at the smiling emperor and walked away with a meaningful look. Pointing at her daughter, she cried, "Your Majesty, my cousin Jiang Yanxi narrowly escaped death from Chenzhou and was repeatedly assassinated in my house. I...I wanted to send him to the palace, but I always encountered this or that kind of incident. I think there are too many coincidences and it must be man-made. I...I am afraid that if my cousin lives in my house all the time, even I and my family will be in danger, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Xinyue raised her eyebrows. This eye drops are well applied!
Emperor Xuanwu thought that the Song family would be rampant, but he didn't expect them to be so rampant.
Even the father of the favorite concubine, a fifth-rank official in the capital, they beat and killed him whenever they wanted, and didn't take him, the emperor, seriously at all.
Since ancient times, there have been relatives of the emperor who have monopolized power. Not long after the Wu family was eliminated, the Song family came.
The court really needs to talk about the art of balancing. The family of Empress Zhu's mother is content with a corner and acts as a local emperor in Chang'an County. The Song and Pei families have no rivals in the capital. No wonder the Song family is so lawless and arrogant
. Emperor Xuanwu's eyes turned to Jiang Yankun. Maybe it was because he was the father of Concubine Zhen, or maybe it was because he looked a bit like Concubine Zhen and was a rare handsome minister. Anyway, the more the emperor looked at him, the more he liked him.
Jiang Yankun was able to become the Minister of Honglu Temple without any help from the Jiang family's direct line. He must have some skills.
Just look at Concubine Zhen. She is well-read, talented and beautiful, and can speak foreign languages. When it comes to Mingzhi, she can talk about anything, which makes people marvel at her talent and eloquence.
Jiang Aiqing must be a sincere person like Concubine Zhen.
Next, the "dirty" deal between the emperor and his cheap father... uh, no... there are many details to discuss about whether the Song family intervened in the Zhenzhou corruption case, which is not what Jiang Xinyue can listen to.
After serving as a tool for Emperor Xuanwu, Jiang Xinyue tactfully excused herself and returned to Hexi Palace.
Jiang Chuan put Lai Lai on the ground, and when he saw Jiang Xinyue, he ran over, gently biting her skirt with his teeth, and rolling around at her feet.
Jiang Xinyue wanted to touch it, but then she thought of the fact that pets carry some germs and were afraid that they would indirectly infect the baby in her belly, so she stopped: "Jiangchuan, send it to the Imperial Hospital and let Doctor Yan check it to see if there are any bugs on it?"
Jiangchuan felt that his queen had become more and more cautious since she became pregnant. She would take any cats and dogs that passed by for examination.
But it was good to be so cautious. After all, the queen was pregnant with a royal child. If the queen could give birth to a little prince, the whole Hexi Palace would be blessed.
Jiang Xinyue had just entered the inner hall and was about to ask Xi Que to bring Shuangjiang in for questioning when Jiang Chuan came back with an angry look on his face: "Your Majesty, the guards in the Empress Dowager's palace have sealed our palace gates and won't let us go out."
The Empress Dowager Wu was afraid that she would not live as comfortably as last time, so she came to make things difficult for her.
Jiang Xinyue rolled up her sleeves and said, "Why, only she has people in Kunning Palace, so our Hexi Palace is easy to bully, right? Jiangchuan, go call Xiaoxuanzi, and summon the guards and eunuchs in our palace, confiscate their belongings and kick out those lackeys. The emperor is confining my feet, not the feet of the entire Hexi Palace. I will not tolerate the empress dowager's hypocrisy."
With her words, the palace servants in Hexi Palace all became arrogant. They were confined for a month last time, and they were fed up with the guards in Kunning Palace who took advantage of their power. Now, Concubine Zhen couldn't bear it anymore. They were a group of servants who obeyed the orders of their master, shouldn't they take revenge and complain?
The guards at the gate of Hexi Palace who didn't know what was about to happen were still talking to each other: "That girl Shuangjiang last time was so pretty. Didn't the Queen Mother ask us to teach them a lesson? I touched her. What do you think? If I put in some effort to get her this time and leave Concubine Zhen with no one to use, will the Queen Mother reward me generously?"
"Do you like that little girl Shuangjiang? Then it's a deal, that little hottie Xi Que must be mine. She'll be my fifth concubine. My mother said that girls with big butts are better at giving birth."
"Hahahaha..."
“Speaking of which, Concubine Zhen is really good-looking. No wonder the Emperor would rather disobey the Empress Dowager and be with her. Tsk tsk tsk… I guess her skills in bed… hahahaha…”
The guards received the order and humiliated Jiang Xinyue as much as they wanted. However, they became more and more excited as they spoke, and their words had already violated the taboos in the palace.
Jiang Xinyue was not particularly angry, but just felt a little offended.
It was like in the future, her license plate was restricted, so she had to squeeze into the subway, and on the subway she met a few greasy and obscene men, who commented on her figure, and seeing that she was wearing all branded clothes, they thought she had a shady job and asked her how much she charged per night.
In the future, there were legal constraints, and she could not beat those people up, but here she was Concubine Zhen, who was the supreme imperial power.
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. You dare to make up this story about me and the emperor. I will beat you to death." When
she gets ruthless, she is not a small-time fighter like Empress Dowager Wu. She wants to kill people directly.
Once she abandons the shackles of the law, nothing can restrain Jiang Xinyue, a crazy psychology professor.
The guards are highly skilled in martial arts, but there are too many people in Hexi Palace.
With one stick after another, they don't even have the chance to draw their swords. They can only hold their heads and cry.
