Wang Song didn't even know that her plan had already been known to others. She was still thinking that when the empress would fall ill, she could go to take care of her, so that she could spend more time in the palace.
I heard that even though the Empress was over 30 years old, the Emperor always slept with her, either in Kunning Palace or when he summoned her to Funing Palace. In short, their relationship was very close.
Of course she knew that doing such a thing was risky, but in this world, the timid will die of hunger, and the brave will die of weakness.
My father-in-law Luo Jingxi would go fishing for three days and dry the nets for two days even when he was on duty. He would either drink wine or hang out with his concubines, and was often scolded by the old lady. My mother-in-law was incompetent and had no idea how to discipline me.
Sometimes she thought that if her mother could get the support of her grandfather, given her mother's talent and character, she would definitely be very favored, and perhaps all of this would belong to her mother today, and she would not have died.
If parents plan for their children, their children will definitely go a long way.
But this opportunity is very rare. When she heard that the Empress was going to go hunting in autumn, she just waited. She had been restraining herself from contacting him for three years before she took action. She had been lying dormant for too long.
After selecting the study partner, Yumozuo was also given a palace, and Yao Niang sent appropriate people to serve her. She also never showed any special favor to either Lan Wenjun or Liang Jiayin, which was also a first-class test.
Although she had a good impression of Liang Jiayin, they still had to stay. No matter how tolerant a girl was, she would reveal her true colors after staying for too long.
Lan Wenjun and Liang Jiayin lived in the same room. Although Lan Wenjun was more knowledgeable than Liang Jiayin, she was also not weak. Although Yumozuo was young, she was not an ordinary girl, so they could not just ignore her.
Furthermore, just after entering the palace, they found out that the emperor was going to go hunting in autumn, and they wanted to go with him as his study companions. They were excited to be able to go out, but at the same time, they were afraid that if they did something wrong, they would be disliked by the empress.
As a princess, Tamamo didn't have as many thoughts as they did. She just said to them, "This is my first time going to the autumn hunt since I was a child. The last time my mother went, she brought my three brothers with her. I was still young at that time and didn't know whether the autumn hunt was fun or not."
Lan Wenjun smiled and said, "I have heard from my elders that the autumn hunting is held in Chengde. There is a large enclosure there, as well as a palace with hot springs. When the late emperor was alive, they would go there every few years. When the eldest princess learns to ride a horse in the future, she can go there and ride horses."
But Liang Jiayin felt that it was not right. She had taken care of nephews and nieces at home and knew that children were quick to act. The eldest princess was still young. If she made a fuss about riding a horse and something happened, it would be a small matter for them to be scolded; the princess's safety was the most important matter.
Therefore, she said, "I think the most fun thing for the princess to go hunting with the queen is that the princess can go out and see the world, and take us servants to appreciate the scenery. I heard that although this journey is only a day's journey, there are pastoral scenery along the way, and there are bonfires in Chengde. When my father was alive, he mentioned that people from foreign vassal states would come. The princess of Goryeo can dance, and the prince of Us advocates law. This time, there are people from overseas who have deep green eyes, and their watches are excellent."
Yumao was a child after all. After hearing what Lan Wenjun and Liang Jiayin said, she already felt longing for it. However, she did not mention riding a horse. Instead, she asked Yao Niang if there was anything delicious there.
"Of course there is. I heard from your father that the foreign vassal states will offer a lot of good things as tribute this time. The dried meat from the country of Wusi tastes the best. There is also a kind of pig called the Tibetan fragrant pig, which is raised by drinking spring water and tastes especially good. When the time comes, let your father roast a whole pig. It will be both delicious and beautiful." Yao Niang smiled and looked at Liang Jiayin with approval in her heart.
Liang Jiayin seemed to realize something and looked at Yao Niang, who smiled at her.
This was Gao Xuance's first autumn hunt during his reign, and it was not to be taken lightly. Even the Empress Dowager had to go with him this time. The rest of the people, such as Cheng Yun, Cheng Ze, Xun Ge'er, and the Sixth Prince, all went.
It was Prince Jinyang who was left behind. This time it was not for any other reason, but because the Crown Prince of Jinyang was engaged, so Prince Jinyang and his wife had to stay.
This marriage was a match made in heaven. Princess Hong of Jinyang and Princess Zhenyang were cousins, and they wanted to have good relations with the palace, so they asked to marry Wanwan.
Princess Zhenyang wanted to find a scholarly family for her daughter. Fortunately, Prince Consort Jing used the example of Zhuang Lingyi and said, "This is inappropriate. Although Wanwan is marrying down, her husband's family won't dare to bully her. But it's good when we are together. If we are not..."
"You see, because of the donation of the 5,000 mu of land, my uncle and I have become quite estranged. I also work for the emperor, and I usually offend a lot of people. The Jing family will not make decisions for me. And the emperor and queen are in the palace after all, and they can't control so many things. In this case, it is better to let our Wanwan marry into the Jinyang Palace. First, the princess is your cousin, and second, Wanwan's status as the prince's consort is what's wrong with that. Then she will be the princess of Jinyang for generations."
How could a child born in a noble family, raised in the palace and enjoying a high status want to accompany her husband to start from the seventh rank as an official?
But Princess Zhenyang was worried: "The reputation of the King of Jinyang is not very good."
Prince Consort Jing shook his head: "He is considered the emperor's direct descendant. Moreover, Prince Jinyang only has one son. He is not young anymore and has been fighting for many years. His health is not very good. In this case, why should we worry?"
In this case, Princess Zhenyang agreed.
This was truly a top-level marriage between wealthy families. Before Yao Niang left, she gave Wan Wan a lot of royal satin jewellery to take home. Not to mention that the third branch of the Luo family accompanied the bride, while the eldest branch stayed to attend the small betrothal ceremony.
This time, Princess Jinyang specially asked Wang Song to be the matchmaker between the two governments in order to please the Queen, which was considered to be extremely respectable.
She imitated Yao Niang unconsciously, and her face was somewhat similar to Yao Niang. As a result, when Gao Jian saw Wang Song, he was stunned for a moment.
No one knew whose husband Princess Jinyang was. After Princess Lanfeng left, she was able to relax for a few days. Seeing her husband's eyes, she quickly stood up and interrupted: "Grandma Luo, please come over here with me."
Wang Song came over with a smile. When he passed by Gao Jian, Gao Jian sniffed and couldn't help but smile. The woman had aphrodisiac pills on her body. He had used them many times, so he knew it very well.
If she was a decent person, Gao Jian would have no problem touching her. Just like the Empress, although she was over 30 years old and extremely beautiful, but thinking of Gao Xuance's appearance, he didn't have the guts to do it.
But most women dare not speak out when they are bullied. As long as they are the ones who are embarrassed, he will not suffer any loss, not to mention that he is a prince. Even the matter of Princess Lan Feng, the emperor dare not say anything, let alone promote Xuan Ce.
He was not picky about who to hire and always liked to employ law-abiding officials. That is, it didn't matter if they had moral flaws, as long as they were capable and skilled. He wanted to employ officials who could get things done, so Gao Jian was not afraid at all.
Although he was once ready to surrender to King Zhou, it was also true that he later made plans for the emperor and was very upset. Therefore, Gao Jian did not think that Gao Xuance would do anything to him for the sake of a woman.
Unless that person is the queen.
The palace has strict rules and regulations. The queen has three sons, and he cannot afford to offend them.
Besides, the Queen is now surrounded by countless guards and hidden guards, and it is not easy for them to get close to her.
At the same time, the Queen was older, while Grandma Luo was in her prime. He could have restrained himself at first, but after smelling the fragrance of the love pills, he couldn't help but come up with a plan.
Unexpectedly, he originally thought it would be very difficult, but when it was implemented, it was so smooth that people even doubted whether it was true.
…
When Wang Song woke up, her clothes were torn and her body seemed to have been run over by something. She looked around and saw no one. She was so scared that she was shaking all over.
She was not having tea with Princess Jinyang just now. Because the small engagement was complicated, the princess specially invited her to stay for dinner.
Therefore, after she finished her meal and had her tea, she remembered nothing.
The red marks and bruises on her chest almost made her faint, and what made her even more confused was that her mother-in-law, Fan, came over at this time. It seemed that Fan came because she heard that she was sick, but she was an experienced person, and when she pushed the door open and saw this scene, there was nothing she couldn't understand.
"you……"
If it was just Fan, there were also the servants around Fan, and even the people sent by the empress...
If this scene happened to her and the emperor, of course nothing would happen. For her, no one would dare to touch her.
But now she didn't know who had taken possession of her, she was seen by so many people, and a man's jade pendant was stuffed into her hand. Wang Song was scared half to death.
Fan's seven souls scared away six of them. Although she tried to cover it up, Luo Jingxi was furious after hearing about it: "This child lost her virginity to others like this, what should we do?"
What’s more, two months later, when the emperor returned from the autumn hunt, Wang Song was found to be pregnant.
At this time, Gao Jian secretly had someone use her underwear to threaten her, saying that if she did not come out for the appointment, she would be ruined. Wang Song was scared to death, and her husband ignored her because of this incident.
She didn't expect that this person was Gao Jian...
But she was threatened by Gao Jian, and she was really afraid that this matter would be publicized, so she went out secretly. Little did she expect that Luo Jingxi had already stopped trusting his daughter-in-law and wanted to see who was having a tryst with Wang Song. So, he sent someone to follow her all the way.
At the first meeting, Wang Song found that Gao Jian was quite old, but not fat at all. As a prince, he was quite dignified, but compared with the emperor, he was far inferior.
What's more, thinking of those crazy traces, she hated him so much.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law was kind and believed that she was being framed, so she covered up for her. But even so, her life was already very difficult.
“It’s you.”
Gao Jian said frivolously: "If not this king, then who else could it be..."
Wang Song stroked her belly and said, "But I'm already pregnant."
她以為是高簡的，誰知道高簡挑眉：“關我何事？”他當時只是占了便宜，等臨門一腳的時候，有軍情過來，他本想過後再來，哪裏知曉王頌已經回去。
王頌悲憤交加。
連她自己也以為這個孩子不是丈夫的，而是高簡的，現在居然不是高簡的，而是丈夫的。可偏偏被全家誤會了，她要如何做人呢？
實在是百口莫辯，她頓覺這是一個死局，無解的死局。
不死，以後會日日受到高簡的脅迫，淪為和娼妓一般的人，甚至府中知道真相的人，都不會容她，而她死了，孩子們卻會和當年多的自己一樣。
瑤娘回宮時，命婦們進宮請安，瑤娘見到晉陽王妃，連忙恭喜她：“聽說日子已經定好了，這是大好事呀！”
“都是托娘娘洪福，一切順順利利的。”晉陽王妃如是道。
瑤娘呷了一口茶，才笑道：“婉婉是個好姑娘，你們世子更不必提，皇上也素來喜歡他能幹呢。”
當然，高簡此人好漁色，但辦事還真的行，只是容易受到誘惑。
就是不能單獨辦事，可此人之罪罄竹難書，掠奪民女，操行很差，故而瑤娘也知曉，并不露出分毫。
晉陽王妃回府之後，又聽說一個消息，說羅大奶奶得了怪病，被送到娘家湖廣休養。她還覺得不吉利，因為她請王頌為她去下定了，不知道會不會影響婚事。
婚事倒是沒有影響，反而是一年後，高簡被刺客所傷，暴斃而亡，晉陽王妃成了太妃，而嫁過去的婉婉世子妃還沒當半年，就成了王妃。
瑤娘在庫房挑着禮物，在外本來等着，但見瑤娘一直不出來，連忙進來嘟囔：“怎麽這麽慢，還在挑東西嗎？”
“不僅僅是給真陽公主挑東西，還有咱們承運啊，你都準備賜婚了，就不許我挑東西啊。”瑤娘看着兩柄如意，總覺得成色不好。
還好自己這裏有一對象牙做的鑲嵌各色寶石的梳子，這對也不錯。
但是這樣又小巧了，不夠貴重，精致倒是夠精致。
高玄策拍了一下她的肩膀：“晉陽王的葬禮，我讓老二替我喪禮上看看。”
“他一個王爺，身邊高手如林，怎麽就被游俠刺客所殺，到底是怎樣的？”瑤娘問起。
高玄策笑道：“你哪位王姐夫，實在是個豪爽的性子，結識了不少江湖人士，有人替他賣命，這次刺殺晉陽王高簡的是個女刺客。也活該高簡本人喜歡女色，行房時死在了女人的肚皮上，我不過是對外說的好聽些罷了。”
王宗沐？
瑤娘垂眸：“說起來，他比我爹爹好多了。其實我爹當年沒有看錯人，王姐夫的确是個很好的人，只是我姐姐想法很古怪。”
“嗯，王頌被送回王家之後，還試圖和羅家聯系。岳父大人已經快刀斬亂麻替你侄兒定了一門極貴的親事，斷了她的念頭。聽說王頌得知這個消息後，終日不得安寧，她那繼母以前被她算計，甚至還小産過，這次趁着你王姐夫出門時，聽聞要制造她和人私奔的痕跡，趕她出門去……”
這都是報應，當年窦玉虹也不是壞人，但是被王頌四處哭訴，如今這兩人的恩怨，瑤娘也就不參與了。
因為她也終于知道高玄策說的，賜死她反而是便宜她了。
惡人自有惡人磨。
晉陽王妃看見承澤來吊唁，哭了好一會兒，實際上她樂開花了，丈夫多年來好色成性，她成日提心吊膽，現在這個禍害死了，兒子襲了王爵，又得宮裏照應，她是覺得高簡死的可太好了。
承澤當然明白晉陽王府衆人的心情，面上沉痛的說了幾句諸如國之棟梁雲雲，實際上卻是微微有些高興。
晉陽王死了，這些權利盡被父皇收歸所有。
而羅至正這次留在京中，他是等着參加太子的婚禮，也許這次之後，他就不會再來京裏了。
案牍勞形多年，從一個年輕人到現在垂垂老矣，他有的只是想盡快解脫。
郁氏上了年紀，倒是多了一樁唠叨的毛病：“你也是，怎麽又喝酒了。皇後都說了，讓我看着你點，別一個糟老頭子還想着吃酒。還有，你也不問問大老爺她們，就替瑞哥兒定了親。”
“你沒聽過一句話叫做快刀斬亂麻，老頭子我就是這般。磨磨蹭蹭算個什麽意思，要想掩蓋一件事情，就要用一件新的事情來遮掩。皇上已經讓錦衣衛告訴我，說她買通了皇後茶房的宮女，試圖想下藥讓皇後生病，她趁機進宮侍疾，藥都被錦衣衛查到了。我羅至正不知道修了什麽福，從小到大心疼的外孫女，為了她連窦家我都彈壓過，還讓她嫁進我們家做長房長媳，哪裏知道她的胃口這麽大。”羅至正都受不了了。
即便是郁氏聽到也難以接受：“她瘋了嗎？皇後可待她不薄，當年三姐那般待我們五姐，我們五姐從不針對她，她倒好，還要勾引自己的姑父。”
就連郁氏也對王頌很好，怕她被繼母欺負，常常接她過來家裏。
真是狼心狗肺，就和她那娘一樣。
羅至正搖頭：“所以此人不必提起了，我再結一門親事也是應當。況且，我已經同王宗沐說了，說她是與人私通才送走的，送她回娘家讓她清靜休養，不可再丢臉。一輩子青燈古佛，能保住性命就已經是格外開恩了。聽皇上說，還是娘娘求情了。”
郁氏心裏微微一動，娘娘可不是什麽對自己下毒的人都能寬容的人，如此看來，必定有後招。
但當着羅至正的面，她就不會多說了。
二人一時又說起太子的婚事，郁氏道：“娘娘透露出來，似乎是選姓梁的姑娘，就是那位伯爵的妹妹。”
“是嗎？娘娘選的應該沒錯。”羅至正倒是不擔心。
不過，他又問起：“你見過嗎？”
郁氏點頭：“見過，容貌的确很美，有些冷冷的，倒是個冷美人的樣子，娘娘倒是不怎麽介意。”
羅至正笑：“娘娘和尋常女子不同，她仰仗的是皇帝的恩寵敬重，如果承運不是從她的肚子裏出來的，恐怕無論怎麽出色，也不可能立為太子的。皇上正值壯年，還有多少年呢，娘娘無論找什麽樣的兒媳婦都能應付得來。”
太子大婚的時候，梁佳音本人都有一種不真實感，她同兄長道：“論門第，我比不得蘭姐姐，皇後娘娘對我們一直都是一視同仁，我總覺得我是沒有機會的。平日竭盡一切做好，甚至好過蘭姐姐，我的辛苦總算是沒有白費。”
梁伯爺道：“宮中已經下旨你為太子妃，我們家中原本就在為你籌辦嫁妝，如今又要增多一些。只是你被選為太子妃，雖說皇後娘娘對你很好，但你就更要孝順。”
“兄長放心，娘娘在宮中仁善無比，處世公正，宮裏人人愛戴。我若進宮，肯定要做好兒媳婦。”梁佳音道。
其實，她見過太子一面，他生的不像皇上那樣略微矜貴十足，尋常人在皇上面前都會被震懾，而太子很像娘娘，相貌英俊卻又溫和，是一位教養極好的儲君。
有這樣的夫君，就不是太子，那都是十分好的夫婿。
宮裏，瑤娘也和洪太後說起梁佳音的好處：“這個孩子經過這兩年相處，皇上和兒臣都覺得很好，足以堪配太子。”
洪太後看他們夫妻都選好了，她也不說什麽了，只是梁佳音看起來有些冷。但她是太婆婆，不是婆婆，就随便了。
她因為兒子喜歡兒媳婦，因此這麽多年洪太後這個婆婆都要讓兒媳婦一步，偏偏兒媳婦挑的兒媳婦太過美豔，這樣兒子有了媳婦，哪裏還親她這個娘。
不過，這就是兒媳婦要頭疼的了。
太子大婚辦的十分恢弘，即便是瑤娘當初嫁進來也沒這麽恢弘，因為當初她嫁的是親王，并非太子。
承運早上請安的時候，特地提及這點：“母後為兒子操勞婚事，兒子感激不盡。”
“難得你同我說一句體貼話，我就心滿意足了。等你媳婦兒進門來，有她管着你，我就不必再□□的心了。”瑤娘看着人高馬大的兒子，也是唏噓不已。
前世兒子一直為前程奔，她也不敢問他的婚事，更因為他是掌錦衣衛使，很怕娶進來的妻子是個麻煩。現在好了，可以娶妻生子。
今年周王去世，長子因為庶出，襲郡王爵位。
前世所有的陰霾似乎都沒有了。
承運陪着又說了一會兒，瑤娘道：“我沒有在你房裏放人，是因為我和你爹一輩子都是兩人相知相許。你不許先對不起人家姑娘，自然，若是你們成婚後，你們願意如何，我也管不着。”
“知道。”承運覺得母後實在是個好人，難怪父皇這輩子都只有她一個人足矣。
對待未過門的兒媳婦都能心存良善，她的德行實在是堪母儀天下，而不像別人總想打壓兒媳婦。
"Okay, go and get busy. I'll be waiting for your wedding." Yao Niang asked him to go down first.
On the day of the prince's wedding, Yao Niang's face was swollen from smiling. She was relieved when she heard Bai Ying come to report that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were quite harmonious in the room. Because there was no one in the room, she was afraid that her son might not be able to do it.
The next day, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess went to the Funing Palace to pay their respects, only to see Gao Xuance come in holding Yao Niang's hand. Liang Jiayin had not expected that the Emperor and the Empress would be so close.
After receiving the gifts, Yao Niang and Gao Xuance looked at each other and nodded together.
When the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, Gao Xuance suddenly said, "Look how loving they are. If I leave first, you will be angry. No, you should work here with me now."
Yao Niang was stunned: "What are you doing? You used to provoke me and your mother, and now you provoke me and the Crown Princess. You still want the Second Saint to come to the court."
Gao Xuance looked at her proudly, "That's not impossible. After all, you have been with me reviewing memorials for such a long time. At the beginning, I didn't know where to start, but now I can review 80% of the memorials. Why should I worry?"
This was something Yao Niang had never thought of. She looked at him with anticipation, "Thank you."
"No, I should thank you." Gao Xuance held her hand. Yao Niang had always had a share in his kingdom.
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
