Xiang Nan's move also shocked Zhen Huan, other concubines, princesses, and wives present.
Unexpectedly, Fucha Langya, who was unanimously favored by everyone, turned out to be just a side Fujin. Is there a more suitable candidate than her?
Gao Xiyue is more beautiful, but as the saying goes, "Marry a virtuous wife, and take a concubine with good looks." When marrying a real wife, you should choose a virtuous one, not beauty.
The fourth elder brother is a young man after all, and he likes beauty more.
Xiang Nan then came to Qingying and said loudly, "Qingying is very smart and smart, and she is the right candidate for the future!"
He did not go to Gao Xiyue, praise him, and then reward him with a hundred taels of gold to refuse the marriage.
Because that not only humiliates Gao Xiyue in public, but also creates hatred and enemies for Qingying.
Gao Xiyue was rejected by the prince in public. She did not dare to hate the prince, but only hated the person who took away her opportunity. If it was just an ordinary defeat, there wouldn't be so much hatred.
After all, there are a lot of failed contestants. No matter how unlucky a person is, he will feel much better when he sees someone else being unlucky with him.
…
Seeing Xiang Nan choose herself as the direct descendant of Fujin, Qingying was also shocked and surprised.
Zhen Huan's face darkened, feeling very unhappy.
She tried her best to persuade Xiang Nan to choose Fu Cha Lang Hua as his direct descendant and Gao Xiyue as his side Fuji. However, Xiang Nan still made his own decision, which really made her furious.
The other concubines, princesses, and married women present were also surprised. They did not expect that Xiang Nan would choose Qingying as his direct descendant.
Even if they don’t know the inside story of the dispute between Concubine Xi and the Queen, they still know that the two are in the same boat. Now the adopted son of Imperial Concubine Xi wants to marry the queen's niece as his direct descendant. This is really a big deal.
Xiang Nan then handed Ruyi to Qingying.
“I’m here to give you a palm eye, why are you giving me this?” Qingying whispered.
“I’ll give it to you as promised,” Xiang Nan said.
“I’m kidding you.” Qingying whispered.
“Who are you kidding?” Xiang Nan insisted.
“This is your life-long event and cannot be trivial.” Qingying reminded, “If you make trouble again, I will leave.”
"Why, you don't dare to take it?" Xiang Nan said.
Qingying hesitated for a moment and finally took it.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly, then turned around and said, "Mother, we have finished choosing the children."
When Zhen Huan saw that he really chose Qingying as his direct descendant, she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart and stood up immediately.
At this time, the **** Ji Qing had already announced loudly, "Congratulations to Qingying Gege for becoming the direct descendant of Fujin. Thank you!"
“Thank you, Fourth Brother!” Qingying immediately saluted.
"Hongli~" Zhen Huan couldn't help her anger and wanted to take back her life in public.
She will never allow Yi Xiu's niece to become her adopted son's direct descendant.
His adopted son is qualified to ascend to the throne in the future, and when the time comes, his direct descendant Fujin will be the queen. She had finally promoted him to the top, how could she let Yi Xiu take away the fruits of victory?
Isn’t that the bitter hatred of pressing gold thread every year to make wedding clothes for others?
…
When everyone heard this, they bowed down one after another.
I saw Emperor Yongzheng walking into Jiangxuexuan accompanied by all the eunuchs and guards. "May your Majesty be safe!" Everyone said in unison and kowtowed.
Yong Zheng entered Jiang Xuexuan, stood still, looked around with a gloomy face, and then walked towards Zhen Huan.
"Your Majesty, our fourth elder brother has chosen Qingying Gege as his direct descendant." Zhen Huan seemed to be congratulating her, but in fact she was just saying it.
Because anyone who is not blind and knows how to observe words and expressions can see that the emperor is very angry now, his face is as gloomy as water, and there is no joy at all.
What's more, Zhen Huan had already received the news, and the emperor summoned Hongshi into the palace to reprimand her, and Hongshi, Yixiu, and Qingying were all from the same lineage. Hongshi was scolded, and Yixiu couldn't escape. Yi Xiu is in bad luck, but Qing Ying is not going to be better off.
As expected, Yong Zheng's expression turned even worse when he heard what Zhen Huan said, "That can't be done."
Xiang Nan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Huang Ama, why can't it be done? Qingying Gege is Huang's niece."
"That's why it can't happen." Yongzheng said coldly, "The queen made a mistake and has been banned from Jingren Palace. She must die to get out."
Hearing the news, everyone present was shocked.
Qingying was even more in disbelief. She stood up, knelt down and asked, "Your Majesty, what mistake did the Queen make to deserve such severe punishment from you?"
"The queen is plotting for the throne. I am tolerant by not taking her life." Yong Zheng said coldly.
There is no family affection in the royal family. When it comes to matters of great importance, let alone wives and concubines, even biological father and son have no affection to talk about.
After all, the struggle for power is the most ruthless.
Qingying couldn't help but trembled with fright when she heard this explanation.
The plan for the throne involves great rebellion. This is really terrible news.
…
"Your Majesty, the Queen has been severely punished. You must not anger Third Brother." Zhen Huan said again.
On the surface, it was to plead for mercy for the third elder brother, but in fact, firstly, it was to clear up his relationship and dispel the emperor's suspicion of himself; secondly, it also reminded the emperor that he must punish the third elder brother.
After all, no matter how much the queen plotted for the throne, she would never be able to become the emperor. She must also be paving the way for the third prince. As a result, the third elder brother is naturally unclean and cannot stay out of the matter.
"The emperor's third son, Hong Shi, has been stripped of his clan status and has lost his jade certificate. He is no longer a member of the royal family." At this time, Su Peisheng, the **** beside the emperor, said.
During the Shunzhi period, the Zongren Mansion was established to manage the royal family members. The royal family is divided into relatives and branches. The relatives are called the clan, which is Nurhaci’s lineage; the branch clan is called Jueluo, which is the lineage of Nurhaci’s cousins. The clan wears yellow belts, while Jueluo wears red belts.
Because after hundreds of years of inheritance, each line has hundreds of people, so the clan office was established to manage the royal clan. All clan members must submit clan records and jade certificates.
With the addition of clan status and jade certificates, naturally one is no longer a royal clan member, and there will be no chance of ascending to the throne from now on.
So when Zhen Huan heard the news, even though she knew she shouldn't be happy, a smile appeared on her lips.
On the other hand, Xiang Nan kowtowed and said, "Huang Ama, even if the third brother made a mistake, he doesn't deserve such a severe punishment. Please Huang Ama, for the sake of father-son affection, please be merciful."
He knew that Yongzheng was both mean and ungrateful, but at the same time he attached great importance to family ties. He hated the Eighth, Nineth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Kings with all his heart, and he loved the Thirteenth Prince very much.
That's why he came forward to intercede for Hongshi and showed his brotherly loyalty. Of course, this was just a show. It was he who benefited from Hongshi's downfall.
He would not really hope that Yongzheng would take back his life.
"In the Tian family, the emperor and his subjects come first, and then the father and son. You don't have to plead for Hongshi anymore." Yongzheng refused coldly, "Also, after Qingying became Ulanara, in this situation, can she still enter your mansion? You Think carefully."
"Huang Ama, Qingying Gege has been staying in Jiang Xuexuan and knows nothing. She should not be implicated innocently." Xiang Nan said quickly, "Also, she has been rejected by her third brother, and now she has lost her status. , how can she still gain a foothold in the world?"
Seeing that Xiang Nan wanted to marry Qingying, a flash of astonishment suddenly flashed across Yongzheng's face.
