The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

The previous court was discussing the emperor's northern tour, and Heidan couldn't get away for a while, so Fan Hong came back and spread the word: "The grandson said that the empress can decide everything. The empress's meaning is what he means. Even if you want to use Jinbao (referring to the seal) ), and let the slaves give it to the empress."

The matter has not yet reached the point where the emperor's grandson Jinbao needs to be used.But when I got this sentence, I was completely at ease.

Rushing to the princess, Hu Shanxiang was already there.

She didn't need to guess what she said, she must have said that she was only thinking about the Third Highness at that time, but she didn't expect it to be like this in the future.He also said that he was only called into the palace as a female official, but he did not expect the Wu family and Zhao family to react so violently.

Because the concubine agreed to call Hongye into the palace, she didn't want to criticize too much.

I saluted, and stepped forward to help the princess gently pinch her shoulders and neck: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, when Hongye got the letter just now, the concubine happened to be at the third highness's place, and Hongye has been persuaded, and there will be no more big ones." Trouble. Hongye's willingness to stay in the palace is enough to prove the innocence of the East Palace, and then we will pay for the Zhao family. The dead are already dead. If the living can get compensation, they may not be willing to make a big fuss. I heard that the Zhao family is doing business. If we agree The children of their family go to the Imperial College to study, earn fame in the future, or allow their family to be an imperial businessman, in short, ask for a 'compensation of kindness and hatred', maybe this matter will gradually subside."

"Fortunately, you persuaded me. You can give any kind of gift, as long as you don't overdo it." The concubine pressed my hand and sighed, "Oh, this can be done. I don't know what to do when the prince returns. Angry." He asked me about the situation of the third child.

I turned to one side from behind her, deliberately hesitated to speak, and only said: "The third highness is asleep now, mother and concubine don't hang up."

The princess understood and glanced at Hu Shanxiang.Although Hu Shanxiang was reluctant, he had to resign.

The attendants left and right dispersed, so I said, "The third younger brother just told me not long ago that he was going to send Hongye away. He was afraid that the sisters of the Hu family would obstruct her with tricks, so he wanted to let Hongye go to my place to hide for an hour or two. I When I went to find Hongye, I only found out about it when I saw her crying. I already sent someone to lie to my third brother that Hongye had come to me, and asked the little eunuch to light sleeping incense. I thought, the third brother’s body, now It's not easy to be stimulated, let him fall asleep and rest first, let's use this time to discuss a countermeasure first."

The errands in the third room are all the concubine's servants, if I don't say these words, someone will report back later, so I dare not hide anything.One is that I am not at fault for this matter, and the other is that it is better to let the princess know about the use of sleeping incense.

The princess said: "It should be dealt with like this, you have done a good job." Then asked: "The matter of Hongye is getting more and more difficult, how do you think we should arrange it?"

I said: "If we send her away now, she will die for love. If her father makes a scene, the East Palace will not look good in front of His Majesty and all the officials. I'm afraid we have to keep her first, and then make a long-term plan. To put it mildly, she If she stays in the East Palace, her father won't be too impulsive because he is worried about his daughter being here with us. Besides, even if we are not afraid of them making trouble, if she dies for love, the third brother is an infatuated, I am really worried..."

"Oh, evil fate..." The princess concubine sighed heavily, with tears in her eyes: "But if she is kept, with her temperament, not to mention that she will not give Yonger a good face on weekdays, I am afraid that she will hold grudges." Revenge, put such a person by Yong'er's side, I can't sleep at night."

I hurriedly took a handkerchief to help her wipe away tears, knelt down in front of her and said: "Now if we want to keep the red leaves and prevent her from hating and harming my third brother, I can only think of one way. The concubine should avoid suspicion, it is not appropriate for me to say this method, but now because of the third brother, I don't care too much, I hope that the mother and concubine will see clearly."

The Crown Princess is an old hand, so she guessed it without me saying it: "You mean to..."

"Yes. Whoever brought Hongye into the palace, made Hongye seek revenge against whom, and solved the hatred, naturally he would not do anything to the third brother."

"She has a solid foundation in the palace, how can she be won by just a red leaf who has just arrived?"

"This court is the court of Zhu's family, not the court of Hu's family. She is capable, and she has her own power to suppress her."

The princess turned pale with shock: "You are trying to use the power of 'Heaven' to get rid of her, how brave are you? If His Majesty notices, the entire East Palace will be buried with her."

I replied: "Concubines don't have that much courage, they just link up the sins that everyone has done. Your majesty is wise, if you know about these sins early, you will have a holy order. It's just that the young people deceive the saints." Just listen."

The crown princess bent down and pinched my chin, her eyes were oppressive: "Are you so clever that you came up with these ideas in an instant, or was everything premeditated?"

"No matter how the concubine defends herself, the mother and concubine have already made a conclusion in her heart, and her doubts are hard to dispel." I met her eyes and replied: "The concubine grew up in the East Palace, married to the East Palace, and will never betray the East Palace, and will never betray the East Palace. Those who hurt the East Palace—this is the concubine's answer."

The princess let go of her hands and sat up straight, and said coldly: "I believe what you said. Just let me remind you, although Hu Shanggong is not from the East Palace, but the concubine has married into the East Palace, she is People from the East Palace."

"The concubine understands."

The matter is very important, I roughly told the princess about the plan I made with Heidan in advance.After listening to the crown princess, she was silent for a long time and did not refute, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"You could have acted secretly without telling me. Since you told me, what do you need me to do?"

"After the matter is completed, the position of the Shang Palace will be vacant. If someone who is not in harmony with the Eastern Palace gets it, there will be a lot of trouble. I hope that the female officials in the palace are the most friendly to the Eastern Palace. I hope that the mother and concubine will think about it and work hard in advance to help this People take over."

The crown princess said: "You have made a thorough plan for the East Palace, so I really can't help but not agree."

After the matter was finished, the atmosphere was frozen, and there was nothing else to say for a while, so I left.

The Crown Princess suddenly stopped me and asked, "Did Ji Er hate me so much about your marriage?"

Probably from the strategy we designed for Hu Shanggong, we can see the deep-seated hatred.

I replied: "The grandson is a piece of meat that fell from the mother and concubine. How filial and sensible he is, how smart he is, the mother and concubine should know best. He doesn't resent the mother and concubine, he just hates others. If there is anything else, he is self-suffering." That's all."
