Chapter 557, General Jingyuan's Mansion Wants to Take a Concubine
Zhang Wanyin returned to Chun'an Palace with deep thoughts. After meeting the Queen Mother, she returned to her residence.
After sending all the palace maids and chamberlains out, she frowned and sat down, placing the jade pendant in her hand, her eyes darkening. She couldn't do this due to her ability.
She didn't pay much attention to this matter at first. After all, this matter was just a fantasy for her before. Her father had been dead for so long and there was no news. It happened in Southern Tang Dynasty, so there was no news.
But now this jade pendant is actually in Dajin, and it's still in the capital. I didn't have any idea at first, but now I have it.
She has no background and tries her best to please others. She doesn't dare to offend anyone in the palace, but what if she also has the confidence?
She reached out and covered her chest. Her chest was beating too eagerly. Different from the calm expression on her face, she knew her heart was beating.
If...what mother said is true, it's okay for her not to say...
King Rui, King Yong?
Before entering the capital, she hoped to marry King Yong. The Seventh Princess had already written to her, hinting that she would marry the prince, and repeatedly stated that she would return to the palace. It was only after the Queen Mother's decree came down that she felt relieved and truly felt that she had a marriage.
hope.
All the way to Beijing, she was thinking about who would be more suitable to marry in the carriage, and finally came to the conclusion that King Yong was more suitable.
When she was in the capital, she and several princes had grown up together. Among the three princes, Prince Duan seemed to be very gentle to everyone. Even if some girls went too far, he didn't.
Keeping it in mind, he seems to treat everyone well, but he treats the second girl from Xuanpinghou Mansion differently.
The second girl in the Xuanping Hou Mansion was also a powerful one. She had been very resourceful since she was a child. Zhang Wanyin had seen it before, and she had been very cautious since then. Fortunately, Princess An and the eldest princess no longer brought Yu Yuxi into the palace.
King Yong never talks hypocritically to anyone, even the Sixth and Seventh Princesses, but he treats her well and occasionally talks to her a few words, and there is a sense of friendship from childhood.
King Yi is actually good, the two of them could still play together when they were young. King Yi is the easiest to get close to and the easiest to hang out with. However, King Yi went to Nan Tang and I heard that he would marry Nan Tang.
The princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty is related to the peace talks. If she really marries her, she will definitely have the final say in King Yi’s backyard.
The Seventh Princess once talked about King Yi in private, saying that the suitable princess in the Southern Tang Dynasty was unruly and willful, and would hang people up and beat them if she didn't get her way. She was also quite notorious in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and she couldn't find one for a while.
She had to marry the right one, so she fell in love with the prince of the Jin Dynasty.
Of course, the Seventh Princess also said it. Maybe this is also a rumor, and rumors may not be believed.
Zhang Wanyin believed it. There were also rumors about the Princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Zhennan Hou Mansion. This princess was not someone to be trifled with. If King Yi really married her as his concubine, I am afraid that this backyard might not be able to accommodate her.
People, Zhang Wanyin herself is not willing to succumb to others. With her status as princess, she can dominate many people.
Does the princess of a small country in the Southern Tang Dynasty really think she can suppress the princess of the Jin Dynasty?
Moreover, Zhang Wanyin felt that if King Yi really married the Princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would mean something different. King Yi might not really be in the emperor's eyes.
In fact, this matter was overheard by the Seventh Princess when she was a child. At that time, the Seventh Princess was not like she is now. They were still a child and the relationship between the two was very close. That time she was talking about the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty.
, I’m talking about the person from Xuanpinghou Mansion.
Zhang Wanyin did not dare to inquire about this matter later. She only vaguely knew what the emperor promised to the Xuanping Hou Mansion. It seemed to be related to the purity of blood. The seventh princess laughed and said that it was really stupid. If the royal family really married a daughter of a foreign country, what would happen?
How to pass it on.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was also a foreign country. The Jin royal family always emphasized the purity of blood. If King Yi became the prince in the future, the legitimate son he would give birth to would definitely have the blood of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when King Yi went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was actually abandoned.
Of course, no one else in the palace knew about this, and the seventh princess would not say anything more. As for the sixth princess and King Yi's biological mother, Concubine Zhen, they seemed to be completely unaware of it, and there was only some faint movement in the dark.
Comparing King Duan and King Yong, Zhang Wanyin has been getting along with these two from time to time. Since she was a child, she has been observing secretly. She always feels that King Yong is more popular with the queen. When the two of them are together, the queen expresses the same attitude, but
When we get along in private, there are hidden differences...
Zhang Wanyin didn't know where to start in detail about this difference.
But if I don’t say it, I feel something is different.
The queen has no children, and the emperor respects the queen very much. The queen has a great say in which of the three princes will be the future prince.
Before entering Beijing, Zhang Wanyin compared everything and felt that King Yong was the most suitable. She and King Yong were also compatible, and King Yong treated her slightly differently.
But she didn't expect that after entering Beijing, she would marry Prince Duan.
What's more, she didn't expect that her position as Princess Duan seemed to have been snatched away from Yu Yuxi, but she, who had just entered the palace, knew nothing about it.
After snatching the concubine position from the woman King Rui cared about, Yu Yuxi was not an easy match. She also had the queen's own niece as a concubine, and now she had Xu Anjiao.
Which of these people is easier to deal with?
Zhang Wanyin planned very hard. As a concubine, she would not gain anything from competing with them. And the last one, Xu Anjiao, entered Prince Duan's Mansion because of her. I couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong.
Judging from Prince Duan's appearance that day, she must have been willing, so she didn't do something bad. But what about herself? Having Xu Anjiao in the inner courtyard is definitely not a good thing for her.
There are so many noble girls with similar status to myself, and all of them have extraordinary backgrounds, but as a royal concubine, she is nothing, and the Zhennan Hou Mansion behind her will not be her support. Her father is not here, and her second uncle and second aunt have long looked down upon her.
He is a thorn in his side. If he hadn't come to Beijing this time, his end would have been bad.
If it is King Yong, he can actually operate it, but there are very few things that can be done. He may even have to change his name. Even if King Yong wins in the end, he will not be able to appear in front of people with his true face, or even if he does appear in front of people, it will only be
One that is in poor taste.
How willing she is.
In the past, she would consider King Yong because she felt that she might have no future in Prince Duan's Mansion, but now, she might have the confidence to fight...
Picking up the jade pendant, pinching it, and taking a deep breath, Zhang Wanyin made a decision in her heart. With the situation in front of her, she would consider Prince Duan first. After all, she and Prince Duan were in harmony with each other. Given that Prince Duan could accept her, she
The look on Xu Anjiao's face showed that Yu Yuxi might not be as capable as imagined.
Prince Rui may not really like Yu Yuxi, maybe it’s because of Yu Yuxi’s relationship with Princess An and Dachang behind his back...
Behind Xu Anjiao are Ming and Princess Dachang. These two have always been at odds with each other. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, her situation may not be so bad, and there is a lot to be gained.
As long as Prince Duan still has ideas, he will definitely not really favor Yu Yuxi. As a prince, how can he not want that high position?
After thinking about this clearly, Zhang Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief. This road may not be easier than the one she hesitated before, but if it works, it will be a smooth road.
Jade pendants are very important...
Is what Yu Xijiao told the truth? Or is there some truth? As for the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, she can't reach it with her hands, but Prince Duan can.
She can confess everything to Prince Duan first. Since she is bound to Prince Duan in the future, she must capture Prince Duan's heart early. Is Yu Yuxi really Prince Duan's favorite woman?
Love at first sight sounds more like a panic statement...
Yu Xijiao didn't know that a piece of jade pendant could change Zhang Wanyin's decision, nor did she know that this decision would have an earth-shaking effect on the future struggle for imperial power.
After Zhang Wanyin left, Yu Xijiao also sorted out the conversation between the two people just now. In the end, she could only conclude that this jade pendant had a great secret, but it should require a pair of jade pendants. Zhang Wanyin's jade pendant had been carefully kept in her pocket.
waistline, it is impossible to get it.
After sitting for a while, Yu Xijiao returned home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a woman hurriedly leaving.
"The girl is the mother-in-law of General Jingyuan's wife." Mingyueyue's sharp eyes suddenly discovered the identity of this woman. She had seen this woman several times before. She came with General Jingyuan's wife.
"I've seen the third girl." The person who gave it away was also the mother-in-law, someone close to Mrs. Zhou.
"Is there someone coming from General Jingyuan's residence?" Yu Xijiao asked casually.
The mother-in-law nodded, "Mrs. Zhou, who came here specifically to meet just now, said..."
When the mother-in-law said this, she looked around, and it was obvious that it was not convenient to speak like this. It might not be a good thing just to look at her appearance.
Yu Xijiao turned around and walked inside. Mingyue took two steps back to her mother-in-law, pulled her to the side and said a few words among the flowers, then let her go and quickly caught up with Yu Xijiao.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Mingyue catching up, Yu Xijiao asked in a low voice.
"Girl, General Jingyuan wants to take a concubine in his house." Mingyue looked annoyed, but her voice lowered a bit.
"What, who?" Yu Xi suddenly stopped.
"It's said that my eldest son-in-law wants to take a concubine for me, and the one I want to take is my eldest son-in-law's cousin. Girl, do you remember the cousin who has been following my eldest son-in-law before?"
Mingyue reminded.
Xu Cheng wants to take a concubine? The principal wife has not yet entered the house, but she actually sent someone to talk about taking a concubine. Where is the eldest sister of the Xuanping Hou Mansion?
However, looking at Xu Cheng's appearance, he doesn't look like someone who breaks his word, so this matter is very strange. He had promised himself swornly before, but now this is Xu Cheng's intention, or the intention of Mrs. Jingyuan Hou, or maybe it's Xu Cheng's intention.
What does it mean for two people to be together?
The eldest sister is about to get married. After getting married, she said she would leave so that Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis would not rub the eldest sister off. This is what Xu Cheng had promised himself before. Could it be that... something happened?
"Let's go see Mrs. Zhou first." Yu Xijiao stepped forward faster. If she could say such words at this time, it was obvious that something had happened...
