Chapter 2385 The shocking secret of the Guizi Scroll, shocking
"The problem is with Master's temperament. If we remind him, will it be counterproductive?" Yuanyang glanced at Qingwen. At critical moments, her best friend still has the courage to kill and make decisive decisions. "It's not that I'm afraid that Master will make us angry because of this. , I don’t want to see us anymore, but I may not want other people to know about such secrets.”
Qingwen also forced herself to calm down and think carefully, "Yuanyang, what you said makes sense. I may not care about other things, but we have to be more cautious about this kind of thing, so as not to be counterproductive."
"Or should we remind him in a hint way?" Yuanyang was also thinking about it, "Give some examples?"
"Do you think the uncle won't understand this?" Qingwen shook her head, "It's unreasonable. He thought we were hinting him not to associate with Grandma Zhu and Grandma Lian. But if it's too obvious, he would know about us. Now that we know the situation of the people in the palace, won’t the fact that we followed him be exposed?”
"If it's exposed, it's exposed. Sooner or later, he will know it too. If you want to be punished, just punish me." Yuanyang was quite responsible at this time. He raised his chest and raised his head, "This is something I did wrong in the first place. I will do it no matter where I am." Dare to say that, I miss women. There are so many in the house, even if the grandmothers are particular about it, if they don’t get what they want, there are still aunts. Even if it’s not good, there are Ping’er, Siqi, Xiangling, Zijuan, and Jinchuaner. He Qingwen, what do you want to do?"
Qingwen was both angry and amused when she heard this. She said, "Bah", "Why did you miss me alone? Why, you are still a yellow flower girl, I can't touch you anymore?"
Yuanyang blushed slightly, ignored Qingwen's joke, and said to himself: "That's it, we have to seize the time to tell him, it really can't be done. Even if I say it clearly, I have to make it clear. When things cannot happen again, you have to break it off, otherwise..."
"You don't have to go alone, I'll go with you." Qingwen was not the one who was afraid of trouble. She had a raised chest and said, "This affects hundreds of people in the whole house. If he is really guilty, Well, what should we do with these hundreds of people? What should we do? We have to explain the stakes to him clearly. It’s really frustrating. We in the house are letting him do what he wants, so why bother looking for trouble? I’ll just I don’t believe that a woman in the palace can still have three eyes and six holes, it’s so rare!”
When Yuanyang heard this, he couldn't help but his cheeks were on fire, and he spat, "Little Hoof, who is not easy to imitate, but you follow the coquettish Hoof Siqi to learn such dirty talk, and you are not afraid of damaging your own face? You have to do it anyway. You are a concubine, don’t say such words again in the future, or you will be criticized..."
Qingwen blushed all of a sudden and said anxiously: "Who said I was going to raise a concubine? What's the matter? Who is spreading rumors to ruin my reputation?"
Yuanyang was surprised, with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you mean by ruining your reputation? Why did you ruin your reputation? You are Grandma's personal maid. Grandma didn't even bring a maid from the Shen family when she got married. How can you raise a concubine? Isn’t that right? If you don’t lift me up, won’t you be putting pressure on Xiangling, Ying’er and Zicuckoo, making me feel embarrassed to lift up my concubines in the future?”
Qingwen hesitated for a moment, and there was some hesitation in her eyes, "That's not what I meant. If I want to raise a concubine, I'm afraid I will have a boy and a half girl. Also, if I want to raise a concubine, you Heping'er and Jin Chuan will be the same." What should I do? It’s impossible for me to take the lead and be ahead of you, right?"
"Then you should hurry up and get pregnant as soon as possible." Yuanyang smiled, "As for me, Heping'er, Jinchuan'er, and the others, they are not happy. Who says we will definitely get pregnant before you, and you are just later than Jinchuan'er." My son and I were the first to marry Grandma Shen, who can compare with you?"
Qingwen shook her head, "Grandma doesn't have a legitimate son yet. It's not appropriate for us girls to get pregnant first. Aren't the other four girls also going to come in? I'm wondering if we should wait until the fourth girl enters the house."
Yuanyang did not expect Qingwen to have such a delicate mind. She pursed her lips and nodded: "You are right to think so, but if you are pregnant, it is destined by God. Don't give in..."
These words of her best friend made Qingwen feel very heart-warming, and she nodded, "I understand, but I'm like this now..."
As soon as they said this, Yuanyang and Qingwen couldn't help but sigh. The difficult matter in front of them was really difficult to handle.
Just when Yuanyang and Qingwen returned to the house with a sigh, the two figures from before had already got into the carriage and walked quietly.
"I didn't expect that this Feng Ziying was so cowardly!" The plump and tall woman flushed with anger and said, "This is an act of filth in the palace, and the crime will not be pardoned! Concubine Quan is shameless and should be punished by the nine tribes!"
Another slender woman was haunted by worries and frowned slightly, "Gu Xia, what are you so excited about? Don't you already know what kind of person Feng Keng is? Doesn't he and Jia Yuanchun also have an affair? , I’ve never seen you as filled with righteous indignation as you are today?!”
“Why is it different?” Zheng Zhiying asked.
Wu Guxia glared at Zheng Zhiying, "It's understandable that Yuanchun found Feng Ziying. They were already close friends, maybe they were childhood sweethearts, but they only became lovers because Yuanchun entered the palace, and now we all know that the emperor accepts us. What are the thoughts of these concubines? It is nothing more than a move to show their goodwill to the martial arts, to win over the martial arts in the army. Humph, the emperor has long been devoid of sexual desire and abstains from women. He just wants to live a long life. , but I didn’t expect that Qiu Xi’s assassination would turn out like this, but he would give Prince Yizhong such an opportunity in vain..."
Wu Guxia’s sigh made Zheng Zhiying also feel disappointed.
She had never thought about entering the palace at the beginning, let alone wanted to enter the palace, but the clan mansion directly selected them based on the list, and did not give these people any chance to resist and struggle. Of course, each family would not resist and fight. Objection is just a bit cruel to women.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was different from the previous Ming Dynasty. Most of the twelve eunuchs were abolished, and their power was greatly reduced. Even the draft girls and palace maids were handed over to the clan's mansion. The clan's mansion also had a list of families who were eligible for the royal draft girls, usually those of the Wu Dynasty. There are more families of military attachés, and ordinary gentry families may also be temporarily alerted, but civilian families are not among them.
Like the four families of Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Jia, they were all martial arts families, except that the Jia family was from Conglong Wuxun, while the three families of Zhou, Wu and Zheng were all local martial arts tycoons.
From the heart, the assassination of Emperor Yonglong and his unconsciousness did not bring much sadness to the women of Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Jia, but they were just more touching.
In fact, although he has been in the palace for several years, Emperor Yonglong has rarely been to their palaces. Even the ceremonial summons are rare. Throughout the year, he only visits each palace once or twice during New Years and holidays. Sit for a while, say a few words, and leave in just a cup of tea.
This is not just the case for them, but also for the concubines Xu Sumei and Guo who gave birth to sons. Emperor Yonglong’s thoughts were all devoted to health and longevity and government affairs.
So after a few years, they have become accustomed to this kind of life, and it seems that it will continue forever, even if Emperor Yonglong remains comatose and delirious.
It was only now that Prince Yi Zhong suddenly wanted to enter the palace that the two daughters Zheng and Wu realized that this kind of life would change dramatically. They might be kicked out and relegated to the cold palace, and they would never be as carefree as they are now.
Maybe there will be more leisure, but it may be the kind of leisure that no one cares about but still subject to various constraints. The Shangsanqinjun in the palace may no longer ask them to go out of the palace to pray for blessings and rest as before. Just let it be.
Concubines in the cold palace should stay in the palace for the rest of their lives.
It's just that what they saw and heard during this period was too exciting for them. First, there was the affair between Jia Yuanchun and Feng Ziying, and then there was the affair between Guo Qinjun and Feng Ziying. Each one was more terrifying than the other. An excitement made them all doubt their lives.
It was just that Jia Yuanchun and Feng Ziying had a secret affair. After all, the Feng and Jia families were family friends. It was really possible that Feng Ziying and Jia Yuanchun were childhood sweethearts. However, when Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, he beat the couple with a stick, and Emperor Yonglong first gave up on women. , later became unconscious, and everyone, including the two daughters, was equivalent to a living widow. It seems reasonable that Jia Yuanchun couldn't restrain Hongxing from cheating on her.
The two most likely hooked up when Jia Yuanchun was visiting for relatives. However, now that Jia Yuanchun often leaves the palace to pray for blessings and recuperate in Chongxuan Temple to have trysts with Feng Ziying, it still frightens the two girls. To know that such a thing was discovered, Jia Yuanchun certainly He was going to be executed brutally, and Feng Ziying might also be ruined, or even in danger of her life.
That's all, but the affair between Concubine Tsuen and Feng Ziying made the two women find it incredible and unimaginable.
Guo Qinjun is completely different from Jia Yuanchun. She is a noble concubine with a prince, and Prince Gong has a good reputation. She actually had an affair with Feng Ziying. This is shocking.
“Yuan Chun’s affair with Feng Ziying is understandable, so maybe Guo Qinjun’s affair with Feng Ziying was out of necessity to protect herself.” Zheng Zhiying, who had pondered for a long time, replied calmly.
Wu Guxia was confused and looked at Zheng Zhiying, "Zhiying, what do you mean?"
"I said maybe Guo Qinjun had no choice but to do this for the sake of her and Prince Gong's lives." Zheng Zhiying glanced at Wu Guxia, and then said leisurely: "Prince Yi Zhong is about to ascend the throne as emperor, and he is very unhappy with the cabinet over the prince's matter. , you should know. The cabinet insists that the emperor's sons are also qualified to be princes. Do you think that after Prince Yi Zhong ascends the throne, will he regard Prince Shou, Prince Fu, Prince Li and Prince Lu as thorns in the flesh? Concubine Tsuen's situation is comparable to that of several of us. It’s much more dangerous.”
