262 entering the palace
On the same day, the second princess invited the second prince to meet the girl brought by Chuo luosoning.
The girl is really a stunning beauty. She has a delicate melon seed face, Phoenix eyes, Qiong nose, bright red cherry lips, and her skin is as white and clear as curd. When the second prince saw her at the first sight, he couldn't help but show a stunning look, which made the second prince and imperial concubine slightly jealous.
The only disadvantage of the girl is that she is still young, and her body has not fully grown up. Although her face is still very childish, it can be seen that she is a beauty.
The girl also performed songs and dances and played the piano for the second prince and his wife according to the instructions of CHO luosoning. Although she was not proficient in everything, she was also very model and kind, enough to have a foothold in the palace. The second prince tut tut praised and said with a smile, "it's really my father-in-law who has the ability. Where did you find such a beauty?"
Chuorosonin repeatedly humbly called his highness false praise.
The girl's name is XiuXiu. The second prince and imperial concubine disliked that the name was too earthy and changed her name to Yafeng. Her surname followed the second prince and imperial concubine's surname Chuo Luo. She pretended to be the family sister of the second prince and imperial concubine. Yafeng nodded meekly and accepted everything arranged by the second prince and imperial concubine. The second prince and his wife were very satisfied with Yafeng.
Yafeng knelt timidly after the performance, waiting for the second prince and the second princess to speak. The second prince was very satisfied. He was very excited when such a charming and timid beauty saw him, not to mention his amorous father. The second imperial concubine didn't say whether she could, and she still had to doubt her loyalty to Yafeng.
"My mother and my brother..." Yafeng timidly looked at the second prince and his wife who were high above the eyes and dressed luxuriantly.
"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, your mother's disease will get the best treatment, and your brother will smoothly enter the official school, which is a special honor that ordinary children can't think of." the second imperial concubine smiled and saw the fear on Yafeng's face with satisfaction: "so, do you know what to do now?"
Yafeng was stunned and then kowtowed deeply: "I swear to be loyal to your highness and the princess to the death."
The second imperial concubine smiled with satisfaction.
Regent's house.
Until the decree came down, the old princess still couldn't accept Xu Mingzhu's entry into the palace. In her opinion, the Turkic emperor was amorous and 30 years older than Xu Mingzhu. How could Xu Mingzhu marry such a beautiful girl?
"No, your Majesty must have misunderstood. How can you fall in love with Mingzhu? In terms of seniority, Mingzhu has to call him uncle." the old imperial concubine didn't know that Xu Mingzhu entered the palace voluntarily. She thought it was the lecherous emperor who fell in love with Xu Mingzhu. That's why she made this decree and was forcing Genin to enter the palace to explain it to the emperor.
Glenn could only smile and say nothing.
At the beginning, Xu Mingzhu was still holding her tongue. Seeing that the old lady didn't give up at all, she couldn't turn a deaf ear to the old lady's reaction any more. She had to jump out and explain: "grandma, Mingzhu volunteered to serve her Majesty in the palace."
The old princess opened her mouth and was shocked for a long time. In her opinion, all the scholars who had given Xu Mingzhu a look were young talents and good-looking. None was much better than the old and ugly emperor. Xu Mingzhu refused to accept her kindness and preferred to enter the palace to serve the emperor.
The old princess was completely angry. Xu Mingzhu's move undoubtedly hurt her heart. If you were someone else, the old princess would not even pay attention to her. But after all, Xu Mingzhu was the child she raised by herself. The old princess held back her anger and asked, "why on earth did you do this?"
Xu Mingzhu fell to her knees with a plop: "Grandma, this is Mingzhu's choice. Over the years, you and your father have favored me, and I have lived a rich life that shouldn't belong to me for more than ten years. I once thought to find someone to marry and live a good life, as my grandmother hoped, but the children of the aristocratic family flattered me before, but they avoided me after knowing my life experience... These hypocritical people, Mingzhu How can you marry? "
The old princess closed her eyes and remained silent.
Xu Mingzhu knelt on the ground, took two steps, held the old princess's leg and cried: "Those who are willing to marry me are poor scholars and scholars. The reason why they are willing to marry me is nothing more than to covet the wealth of the Regent's palace. Maybe it's good to add Mingzhu's face. But how can Mingzhu marry those who fish for fame like song Qingyun? Even if they marry in the past, Mingzhu will live a poor life all his life. Mingzhu doesn't want to marry."
Those poor Jinshi looked at her eagerly, as if they were looking at a golden mountain. Xu Mingzhu was very unhappy with her eyes. Even if she married a Jinshi or Hanlin according to the old lady's wishes, her status would be much lower than now. Naturally, marrying poor Jinshi is not for happiness. She has to serve her husband and mother-in-law and do housework, When her husband developed in the future, he might take a few concubines and raise a few unified houses. Thinking of the future, Xu Mingzhu felt dark and could not see any hope at all.
Anyway, she just doesn't want to marry a poor Jinshi. Let others say that she loves vanity and lives to fish for fame.
Xu Mingzhu is so big that there is only one man who has really loved Yong and Wang Mingrui. But as this love is doomed to fruitless, Xu Mingzhu gradually wants to understand. Since she is doomed to not marry the person she loves most and doesn't want to marry a poor Jinshi, it's better to go to the palace and marry the emperor as a mother.
The old imperial concubine was hurt by her anger and leaned against the beauty couch for a long time. Then she pointed to Xu Mingzhu and angrily scolded, "absurd! Nonsense!"
”You are young. How can you know the dirty things in the palace? The Emperor himself is a greedy and lustful master who likes the new and hates the old. Where will you have a good life when you enter the palace? Although you are not my own granddaughter, at least you are also my grandparents and grandchildren. How can I let you go to such a dark place? A few days ago, your mother begged me to find a good marriage for you. What do you want me to tell her? “
Xu Mingzhu's eyes darkened and reluctantly said with a smile, "she should be happy for me. If it weren't for the Regent's house, I wouldn't even be qualified to be a maid in the palace. How could I have the blessing of being a lady? If she knew I was going to enter the Palace, she would only be happy for me. Grandma doesn't have to worry."
The old imperial concubine didn't want Xu Mingzhu to enter the palace. Three of them were reluctant to give up. The rest knew that Xu Mingzhu had been spoiled since childhood and had no mind. She felt that she couldn't survive in the palace where she ate people and didn't spit bones. Gning, who had been drinking tea silently, saw through the old imperial concubine's mind and comforted: "Mother doesn't have to worry. Since I let the Pearl into the palace, I will arrange things properly. The Pearl will never be bullied after entering the palace."
The old princess was angry. When she heard that gning suddenly spoke, she aimed her anger at gning: "you forced Mingzhu into the palace! I guessed that you couldn't accommodate her, otherwise how could she insist on entering the palace?"
The old imperial concubine regarded Xu Mingzhu as her own granddaughter because Xu Mingzhu grew up under her lap when she was young. Even if she had no blood relationship, she would have feelings. But gning used Xu Mingzhu as a substitute before. Now his real daughter Shen Qingru has found it, and Xu Mingzhu has become a redundant person. For Xu Mingzhu, who has no blood relationship with herself and almost killed Qingru, ge Ning naturally won't have a good face.
"I thought you would treat Mingzhu better after the last incident... I didn't expect you to be so cruel to send her to the palace..." the old princess covered her heart and scolded Genin.
Gning was expressionless and showed an attitude of letting the old lady scold casually. Xu Mingzhu was very frightened. She knelt at the feet of the old lady and begged, "grandma scolded her father like this. It's really killing Mingzhu. Mingzhu volunteered to enter the palace, but my father didn't force me."
The old princess just shook her head and didn't believe it. Seeing this, Xu Mingzhu had to use her trump card: "if grandma insists on doing so, Mingzhu would rather twist her hair to be her sister-in-law, and the ancient Buddha will live forever."
"How can I do that?" the old lady was flustered: "girls always want to marry and serve the Buddha. It's the business of nuns. Don't think so."
The old lady finally reluctantly agreed to let Xu Mingzhu enter the palace. She thought about Xu Mingzhu everywhere, but she couldn't stand the other party's willful decision. She insisted on entering the palace, and the old lady could only compromise.
I just hope Xu Mingzhu doesn't regret it in the future. The old lady sighed deeply.
Gning has long seen through Xu Mingzhu's ideas. Xu Mingzhu has enjoyed great wealth in the Regent's house. Those aristocratic CHILDES don't look up to her origin, but Xu Mingzhu despises those poor scholars. She has been spoiled and doesn't want to live in poverty again.
Marrying the emperor can at least ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing and a good life. With the support of the Regent's house, Xu Mingzhu may still be favored by the emperor. At that time, she will have another man and a half. With the support of the Regent's house, Xu Mingzhu is bound to become a high-level concubine second only to the empress Yan Ruhuang.
Those aristocratic sons who don't look up to her, including Yong Wang Mingrui, will kneel down and salute when they see her later and say "mother". That's good.
In addition to the old princess's trouble, gning will certainly feel more pity for her. With the Regent's house escorting her, in addition to Queen Yan Ru, are there any concubines in the harem who dare to challenge her?
Even empress Yan Ru, Xu Mingzhu is not afraid of her now. Empress Yan Ru gave her poison and asked her to murder Shen Qingru. Naturally, she knows what will happen to Xu Mingzhu after the matter is exposed. Empress Yan Ru didn't leave her a way to live from the beginning. It's better to tear her face and tell gning about the antidote, so that the whole Regent's house will stand on her side and support her against Yan Ru queen.
But Xu Mingzhu didn't expect the arrogant and domineering Princess Xindu to die so quietly, and queen Yan Ru didn't have much reaction to her daughter's death. This made Xu Mingzhu feel that an invisible storm was coming.
