Chapter 415 The king’s heart is unpredictable

He sat upright and said quietly: "Go and find your mother and the others."

Since the seventh prince became an idiot and Concubine Shu and her son were abandoned by the emperor, the Zhu family has cut off contact with the palace, but the female relatives know some things better than they do.

Mrs. Chen, Madam Zhu, entered the door with the support of her eldest daughter-in-law, Feng. She nodded with Mr. Zhu and asked lightly, "What do you want from me?"

Duke Zhu was a little dissatisfied with her attitude, but he had no intention of scolding her. He only asked, "Have you ever had contact with Concubine Shu in the palace in the past few years?"

Ms. Chen shook her head, "No."

“Not even a greeting?” County Duke Zhu stared dissatisfied.

Ms. Chen explained unhurriedly, "Isn't it the master's order? I'm just following the master's wishes."

"I" Zhu Xiangong was angry, flicked his sleeves, and angrily said several imperial edicts in the palace today.

Feng was the first to panic, "Oh! How could the emperor adopt the seventh prince to the queen without saying a word? After the adoption, the seventh prince was given the title of Prince An. Doesn't that mean our family has nothing to do with Prince An?"

Zhu Rongkui beat his thigh and gritted his teeth and said: "Originally, my father and I thought that the emperor would pursue Concubine Shu as a noble concubine, so he would not treat the seventh prince lightly. It just so happened that our Meier and the seventh prince were similar in age, so we could treat her as a noble concubine. By marrying the seventh prince, if Mei'er can have another heir, our family can still have someone to rely on. I didn't expect that the emperor would directly marry An Wang and the girl from the Ming family, which cut off all our thoughts. "

"What? Master! Mei'er is the apple of our eye, how can she marry a fool!" Feng was furious.

Fortunately, fortunately, the emperor granted the marriage, otherwise her Meier would have been destroyed.

Zhu Rongkui sneered, "You don't agree with the emperor and you still don't agree! What's wrong with the fool? The fool is also crowned king now! Of the emperor's many sons, only the eldest prince and the seventh prince are crowned princes, and the others are still just princes! A girl from the Ming family is marrying The past was Princess An, Princess!”

Feng shrank back after being yelled at. Although she felt sorry for the position of the princess, she put aside her reluctance when she thought that the other party was a fool.

 County Duke Zhu frowned and shouted, "Enough! It's useless to argue now. Think about it carefully, but who in the Zhu family is causing trouble outside and making the emperor dissatisfied?"

Ms. Chen, who had always had nothing to do with her, twitched her lips sarcastically, "Do you still need to think about it? Isn't it obvious enough that the emperor granted marriage to Prince An and the girl from the Ming family?"

Thirds of the people in the room were stunned.

Chen's eyes twitched and she said slowly: "I heard that Concubine Shu summoned Mrs. Ming San, your sister's daughter-in-law, before she died. It can be seen that the marriage between Prince An and the Ming family was the intention of Concubine Shu. The emperor must have thoroughly investigated the Ming family. Well, do you think you can hide the dirty things that Shunde mother and son did before?"

Zhu Xianggong's expression changed slightly.

Zhu Rongkui even hurriedly defended, "Mom, what does my aunt's matter have to do with our Zhu family? Although she is a daughter of the Zhu family, she did not have any bad reputation in the Zhu family before she got married. Everything happened after marrying into the Ming family. It just happened!”

“Do you believe this kind of nonsense?” Mrs. Chen looked at her son sympathetically.

Zhu County Duke became angry and said, "That's enough! Shunde is just a little arrogant. The Ming family treats her badly. She just punishes the people in the house. What's the fuss? How can the emperor, the king of a country, care about the affairs of women in the house?" Don’t be alarmist!”

"Am I alarmist? Haha. Master, you really know how to deceive yourself! Back then, when your good nephew bullied men and domineering women and took human life into consideration, Shunde came to the Zhu family for help. Didn't my father-in-law and you come forward to settle things? Are these just matters for women at home?" Ms. Chen In a few words, he revealed the shameful things about the Zhu family. Zhu Rongkui and Feng were surprised. They had never thought that County Duke Zhu, who always talked about propriety, justice and integrity, would actually help others do evil.

Zhu County Duke became angry and shouted, "Ms. Chen! Don't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Chen gently stroked her hair on her temples and snorted, "It doesn't matter, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice anyway. One of Shunde's mother and son is being suppressed by their daughter-in-law, while the other is in jail and is still building a city wall in Quzhou Prefecture." , it’s also their retribution, it doesn’t matter whether it has anything to do with our family, who knows what the emperor is thinking anyway! Hahaha. I’m tired, let’s go now!”

Chen left happily.

Feng was confused and chased Chen away.

Zhu Rongkui actually believed what his mother said in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly. He only asked vaguely: "Father, what should we do now?"

“How do I know what to do! You will be in charge of this house from now on, you have to figure it out on your own!” Zhu County Duke left holding in his anger.

Zhu Rongkui returned to the yard angrily.

Feng hurriedly asked: "What did father say? What should we do?"

Zhu Rongkui frowned, "Father left it alone and let me figure it out myself."

"Why! Obviously my mother just said that it was my grandfather and father who supported my aunt that caused many disasters, but now we are left to deal with the aftermath. That's enough!" Ms. Feng was so angry that her nose was almost crooked, and she thought for a moment. , she said: "Since my father is in your hands, we have to make our attitude clear.

The emperor is obviously tired of my aunt, so we have broken off contact with her. If Jinxiu was not going to marry Prince An, the Ming family would have been defeated a long time ago. Although Mrs. Cui tried to turn the tide, she probably wouldn't be able to get a decent dowry for her daughter. We, It's time to help, maybe the emperor can calm down. "

Zhu Rongkui's eyes lit up, "Madam, what you said makes sense! But how should I give this thing appropriately?"

"Look for father! How can he really ignore the trouble he caused? He wants to do this, but the tribe still doesn't agree!" Feng frowned.

Zhu Rongkui suddenly became silent.

At Feng's urging, Zhu Rongkui went to County Duke Zhu and told him about this method. He thought his father would scold him, but unexpectedly he agreed and asked the housekeeper to do it himself.

On the same day, the Zhu family sent several carts of valuable things to the Cui Mansion to Mrs. Ming San, saying that they were for Ming Jinxiu.

Mrs. Mingsan happily accepted it without being polite at all.

Mrs. Tang accidentally agreed, "The Zhu family has always had a temperament to ignore those who rise above others. Back then, for the benefit of the family, they sent the girl from the side branch to the palace. At first, they often greeted her. But when she found out that the seventh prince was crazy, she immediately cut off contact. After two years, they still wanted to send the girl to the palace again, but the emperor didn't want her anymore and they stopped.

And your mother-in-law also relied on the Zhu family's power to show off her power in the Ming family and commit crimes! After Jinxiu's father was imprisoned, the Zhu family ignored you mother and daughter, and only occasionally sent some things to your mother-in-law. Now that Jinxiu has become Princess Zhun'an, she rushes to please you in front of you. If you accept their things, in the future What should I do if they grab the brocade? "

Mrs. Mingsan sneered a few times, "Mother, how do you think they can interfere with Jinxiu? It's okay for Prince An to be powerful, but he is destined to be a wealthy and idle man. The Zhu family will not be able to count on Jinxiu in the future. Do I want to do these things to Jinxiu? It doesn't matter, so why shouldn't I? The richer her dowry will be, the happier her life will be, right? "
