Chapter 59 Concubine Le Sends Her Son To Seek Closeness(1/2)
Knowing that her daughter was punished to face the wall and reflect on her faults, Concubine Le's mood became even worse. This Sima Xi is really a shameless scourge! Since she, this scourge, married into the Nalan Mansion, the three of them
I haven’t had a good few days!
Nowadays, the emperor has been staying at Queen Lingyu's place more and more often, and his son Sima Shang has become increasingly unpopular with the emperor. Originally, she still thought that at least she would have her own daughter to support herself.
Son's face, now, he has also lost the favor of the emperor because of this disaster! How can it be achieved in the long run?! Thinking about Queen Lingyu's vengeful temperament, how could she be easily spared, despite the plot against her?
?
Looking at Le Cheng without saying a word, she was so angry that she threw things all over the room. Her nurse, Ji, felt distressed and hurriedly stepped forward, supported her, and sat her down on a chair.
He said, "My good master, it won't help if you walk around like this! Instead of just being so anxious and angry, it's better to think of a way quickly, before the queen comes up with bad ideas to deal with us.
, strike first to gain the upper hand, it’s urgent!”
"I wish I could find a way! But now, now...where should I go to find a way!"
After Ji's advice, Le Cheng couldn't help but shed tears. In the many years since she entered the palace, she has been trying to bully and harm others. She has never had a good friendship with anyone at all.
To put it bluntly, looking at the current palace of Empress Mo (Harmony), apart from her wet nurse Ji, who else is close to her?! Looking for a way, looking for a way, where can I find a way?
!
"Master, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!"
Ji is a distant relative of Le Cheng's natal family. In terms of seniority, Le Cheng should call her aunt. Originally, her husband's family was also a concubine in a big family. However, there was a family dispute and her husband died of illness. The eldest wife took her away.
The child of his grandfather kicked her out... out of desperation, he defected to the Le family, which could only be regarded as his grandfather's generation and had some relatives.
It happened that Le Cheng was not born yet, and Le Cheng's father, Mr. Le Cheng, who was in the third rank of the dynasty, thought that she was somewhat knowledgeable and familiar with the fights in the backyard of the aristocratic family, so he kept her as Le Cheng's nanny.
.
Le Cheng was born with her mother's beauty, and it was under the upbringing of the Ji family that she learned to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the ability to please men. Because the Ji family had always been resentful towards her late husband's family, she often made her jealous.
Telling Le Cheng some dirty things in the backyard of a wealthy family made Le Cheng... understand things early. When he was seven or eight years old, he would trick his father's concubine in the backyard and help her mother fight for power.
When she was eleven or twelve years old, she flirted with several princes at that time. She was so fascinated by those princes that they were all obsessed with her... Sima Qing was also one of them...
Later, Sima Qing killed his brother to seize the throne. After he ascended the throne, he also provoked and slaughtered all his other blood relatives. She was also called into the palace because of her "loyalty" to Sima Qing and her meritorious advice. She was given the status of a concubine.
The status is only lower than that of Queen Lingyu, who was once the crown prince's concubine.
Le Cheng became a concubine, and as her wet nurse, Ji's status also increased. Not only did she take revenge on her husband's family, but she also took back her son who was taken away. Although her son had already been
Under the deliberate "spareing" of Changfang, he grew up into a stupid rough man, but now, with Le Cheng's "care", he has a solid job in the Imperial Guard.
Ji knew that if Le Cheng's position could no longer be maintained, it would mean that she and her son would also die, so at this moment, her anxiety was indeed not disguised at all.
.
"Nanny, you have to help me think of a way! Normally, you are the most resourceful person! This time, this time... you can do it... you can do it..."
Normally, Le Cheng relied a lot on Ji, the nanny, and would ask her for advice before implementing many ideas. Now, at this moment, he was panicking, so naturally, he relied on her even more... holding his hands.
He took her arm and shook it, as if it was her only remaining life-saving straw. If she shook it, she would really be saved!
Ji thought for a long time, and suddenly a plan came to her mind. She glanced down at Le Cheng, pursed her lips, and pretended to be embarrassed, and said to her, "A way... I have come up with one, but... this way needs to be solved."
I have to feel wronged, His Highness the Fifth Prince..."
"Aggrieved Shang'er? How can I aggrieve him? Will it hurt him?"
Although Le Cheng was a little cruel, she was not as cruel as Queen Lingyu, and she was so cruel to her own son. When Ji said this, she instinctively became nervous!
It is true that Sima Shang is a helpless Adou, but he is her only son! If Ji Shi said this method would harm him, she would rather suffer the injustice herself than use it.
!
"It's not that he's injured. It's just that he has to marry a woman who is not his first wife."
Seeing Le Cheng's nervous and unwilling look, Ji sighed softly and said exactly what she was thinking, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is playful and has never been to the Red Mansions and Chu Pavilion..."
The empress will just...just think that he was mischievous and got a girl from the Red Chamber to come back as his concubine...In the future, he will become the new emperor of the Mo Kingdom, and an imperial edict will behead the girl, so...it will be nothing.
It’s inappropriate!”
"Not a first-marriage woman? Who?"
Hearing that he was just letting his son marry a woman who was not his first marriage, rather than hurting him, although Le Cheng was unwilling in his heart, he could barely bear it. Who made the three of them worse off now?
Moreover, listening to what Ji said, it is very likely that the woman her Shang'er will marry can still help her get Shang'er and ascend the throne in the future... If her Shang'er can ascend the throne,
Then, she will be the Empress Dowager. By then, even without Sima Qing's protection, she will no longer have to worry about the Empress Lingyu. Huh, that annoying woman, if one day really comes to pass, I will see if she doesn't follow the instructions first.
Cut her into pieces!
"The daughter of Nalan Mansion, the wise and unparalleled princess of Changle Minde, Nalan Xue."
Ji looked around cautiously and saw that there were no unsafe shadows in any of the windows. She felt relieved. She leaned close to Le Cheng's ear, deliberately lowered her voice and said to her, "Her
Of the two brothers, one is the leader of the Imperial Army of Mo State, the other is a wise prime minister who is famous all over the world, and she herself is a general who can lead troops... Master, just imagine, if His Highness the Fifth Prince can get her as his wife..."
"Why are you worried about not getting the throne?"
Le Cheng happily accepted Ji's unfinished words and stood up excitedly, "Nanny, go, go and call Shang'er! I'll talk to him about this!"
At this time, Le Cheng couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was really stupid. How could she not have thought that there was such a shortcut before?! She could only think about squeezing out Sima Qing's other concubines. Then,
And then turn his next sons into invalids or dead people who can't inherit the throne, so that he can no longer find other candidates except his own son as the crown prince... Every step of the plan, every move is dangerous, where can he find no one else?
With this idea, it saves effort and is stable?!
…
Sima Shang, who was disturbed by Mr. Ji, was shutting himself in the room at this moment. He picked up a charcoal pencil and drew the basis of a picture on the paper.
His "photographers" were two charming women in messy clothes and dressed as palace maids. Facing Sima Shang's unabashed gaze, they were not shy at all and would twist their waists and raise their arms from time to time.
Wave your hand... Just by looking at her, you can tell that she is from Fengyue, not a palace maid or a good family.
"The master has summoned you, His Highness the Fifth Prince!"
The third time she urged her, seeing that Sima Shang still looked like he was "not listening to what's going on outside the window", Ji couldn't help but became impatient. She stood in front of him and stretched out her hands to block the way he was painting the portrait.
The two women standing next to him said to him rather unhappily, "Master wants to tell His Highness, but it is a major matter that affects the life and death of a family! If this major matter can be accomplished, in the future, Your Highness will still have such a thing
It’s not about how much you want, but how much you have!”
"so good?"
Seeing how anxious Ji was, Sima Shang still refused to cooperate at all. He raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped holding the charcoal pencil in his hand, but showed no intention of leaving the stool, "Then, if I say,
If you want to buy the oiran from Zixiang Tower back and stay by your side to serve you, is your mother and concubine willing to agree?"
"If His Highness the Fifth Prince can really handle the matter ordered by his master, let alone an oiran, it will be a trivial matter for all the oirans in the Red Mansion in Zhaoyang City to be yours.
!”
Seeing that Sima Shang was finally willing to stop writing, Ji felt a little relieved, and hurriedly left the two women who were still there posing, turned around, walked closer to him, and started to support him.
He stood up and said, "If you can become an emperor in the future, the three thousand beauties in the (Harmony) Palace will all belong to you alone. What do these vulgar beauties mean! How can you be so attractive to me!"
"Being an emperor? I'm not interested..."
Hearing what Ji said, Sima Shang shrugged and smiled, and then sat back bonelessly in his soft chair. Unexpectedly, Ji had already expected it, and tried hard with his arms, but he couldn't get what he wanted. He had no choice but to do so.
Then, he could only talk to her for a few more words, "How boring do you think you people are...? What's the good thing about being an emperor? You get up earlier than a chicken, go to bed later than a dog, and you can work like a beast.
, although it’s not enough to eat pig and dog food... But all day long, my heart is full of things, what can I eat to have a taste? Let me tell you, don’t force me... just let me
I am living a leisurely life as I am now. In the future, my father really can’t stand it anymore, so he will give me an imperial decree granting me a marriage, asking me to become a son-in-law who steps in, so that I can live peacefully.
If you just get through this life, you'll be fine..."
"Today, the third princess has been punished by His Majesty to think about her faults, and the master is no longer as popular with the emperor as before. If His Highness the fifth prince still does not strive for improvement, in the future, let alone a leisurely and comfortable life, I am afraid,
It’s time to risk even your life!”
Seeing that Sima Shang had made up his mind to be a piece of mud that couldn't hold up the wall, Ji couldn't help but get anxious, and didn't care to leave any comments for Concubine Le.
The words that were originally discussed for Concubine Le to say were all spoken out, "This time, the master wants this old slave to come to find the Fifth Prince, just to discuss with you and make you feel a little aggrieved.
Marry the princess from Nalan Mansion as your wife and protect you, mother and son..."
"etc!"
Before Ji could finish her words, Sima Shang interrupted her. The naughty aura that had filled his eyes disappeared in an instant, "You just said, who do you want me to marry, my mother-in-law?"
"Princess Nalanxue from Nalan Mansion..."
At this time, Ji realized that she had said something wrong. In her heart, she just wished she could slap herself in the face a few times. She could swallow the words she had already said back in her stomach! What if this was a mouthful of His Highness the Fifth Prince?
He refused and didn't even go with me to Le Fei's place. How could I go back and explain?
"Let's go."
Completely beyond Ji's expectation, Sima Shang not only did not refuse to go. On the contrary, he changed his dandy attitude before, lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and walked quickly to the door. When he arrived at the door, he saw that she could not follow him.
He went up and turned around again. He glared at her again rather unhappily, "Why are you so dazed? Didn't you say you were going to my mother's concubine?!"
…
The conversation between Le Fei and Sima Shang went smoothly beyond her expectation.
To be continued...
