Rebirth of the prosperous male concubine

Chapter 36

The emperor felt sorry for Miss Yue's loss of her son, and indeed he doted on her even more, and even promoted her to Noble Lady Yue.

However, the newly promoted nobleman Yue was a little overdone, probably seeing that he was so sad that the emperor loved him, and felt that this was a way to catch the emperor, so he intensified.

And this kind of going from sad to crying, the emperor is really tired of watching too much.Yuegui is still young, as long as she is favored by Jun, she will definitely have another child, and she looks like she will never have a child in her life, what does this mean?Dislike him for being old?

So after the emperor finally got impatient, he went to Concubine Zhen after finishing his political affairs.

Concubine Zhen's "injury" has healed. Although Concubine Zhen is not as energetic as nobleman Yue, after all, her age is there, but in terms of beauty, she is not inferior to nobleman Yue. It's just that after watching for a long time, she loses the freshness .And it's been a while since I saw her, the emperor felt that Concubine Zhen Gui was a little more beautiful than before.

"Your Majesty, this is the mung bean cake that the concubine's palace made this morning. You can try it." Concubine Zhen said, and put the mung bean cake and tea brought by Miao Yu to the emperor's hand.

"I happen to be a little hungry too." The emperor first took a sip of tea, "Well, the new Longjing this year is pretty good."

"The emperor gave all this year's new Longjing to his concubines, many sisters in the palace came to ask them for tea." Concubine Zhen said softly and tenderly.

The emperor smiled and said: "You only like to drink this kind of tea, if I don't give you all of it, wouldn't it be hard for you, a picky kitten?"

Concubine Zhen covered her lips in embarrassment, "The emperor treats his concubines well. The concubines know it and are grateful, but they don't know how to express this affection."

The emperor patted her hand, "You, staying by my side is the best."

"Yes." Zhen Guifei smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes.

The emperor drank a few more sips of tea and sighed, "Your place is better, quiet and comfortable."

Concubine Zhen pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile: "Everywhere in the harem, isn't it clean and elegant?"

The emperor sighed, "That nobleman... Forget it, let's not mention it."

Now mentioning this nobleman Yue, he only felt a headache.

Concubine Zhen was very considerate and said: "Your Majesty, please try this mung bean cake, it's very good for my concubine to eat."

The emperor picked up a piece of mung bean cake, looked at it for a long time, and said: "I remember, Concubine Mao is the best at making this. Every summer, she will make some for me with her own hands. I also made it with her. She is really ingenious." .”

After all, the emperor took a sip.Then he frowned slightly, and put down the remaining half—it wasn't the taste he remembered.

Concubine Zhen smiled and said: "When the emperor mentions my sister, it means that I miss my sister, so I don't want to be angry with her."

The emperor was silent.

Concubine Zhen continued: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Speak."

Concubine Zhen: "At the beginning, the emperor loved Concubine Mao's sister very well, and his feelings were deep. The concubine could also see that my sister really liked the emperor. Back then, you and your sister were in love with each other, and I don't know how many people envied you. My sister was too young at the time. I understand the emperor. And now that I have been in the cold palace for so many years, Xiang must also understand. The deceased is gone, and the younger sister enters the palace. She is the emperor's person, and her mother's affairs have nothing to do with her. Now The emperor has also calmed down, so let the younger sister come out."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Concubine Zhen, "You want me to let her go?"

The emperor's tone could not be heard to be happy or angry, but Concubine Zhen was very calm, "The emperor's friendship with his sister can be learned from the sun and the moon, and this concubine really can't bear to see that the emperor doesn't even have anyone who speaks confidantly. The concubine knows that her talents are limited. It's okay to talk with the emperor, but it's not enough to share the emperor's worries. If someone the emperor likes is by his side to make the emperor happy, then the concubine will be happy too."

The seriousness between the emperor's brows seemed to fade a bit, "Have you ever visited Concubine Mao?"

Concubine Zhen smiled and said: "The concubine dare not lie to the emperor, the concubine has never been there, but during the New Year's day, some people will send some clothes and food to Concubine Mao. After all, she is Qingyang's biological mother. When you come to Qingyang, you can always think of her, so you can't ignore her. The emperor loves Qingyang very much. It can be seen that besides Qingyang is your own daughter, he also misses her old love. Now that Qingyang is grown up, it is almost here When we saw each other, the concubine always regarded Qingyang as her own, so naturally she wanted to choose a good family for her. But after all, Qingyang is Concubine Mao's daughter, and Concubine Mao's opinion is also very important whether this son-in-law is agreeable or not."

The emperor was not angry because Concubine Zhen sent someone to deliver things to Concubine Mao, but seemed to be lost in thought.

Concubine Zhen continued: "Actually, the emperor doesn't have to make up his mind now. Why don't we find a reason to invite Concubine Mao to meet him someday. If the emperor thinks it's better not to see her after meeting, then send her back."

The emperor was silent for a while and then nodded, "Well, let's do it this way."

Concubine Zhen smiled like a flower, seeming extremely happy.

The world is peaceful these days, Feng Qin and Jiang Yi are fine when they return to the mansion, they just practice martial arts and read books all day long, life seems boring, but for Feng Qin it is very good.

"Let them make some cold dishes at night, let's have a drink." Feng Qin said.

Jiang Yi nodded, "Okay, I want to eat cold yam."

"it is good."

The rose rice wine they brewed can be drunk long ago, the alcohol content is not high, and it is not intoxicating. Drinking two glasses at night is good for sleep.

Xia Feng trotted all the way into the study room, saluted and said: "Princess, someone from General Pingnan's residence said that if you are free, please go back."

Jiang Yi frowned, "What happened?"

"The servant asked, but the person who came said he didn't know, it was my aunt who asked him to invite you immediately." Xia Feng replied.

Jiang Yi immediately got up and said, "Prepare the car."

"Yes!" Xia Feng ran out immediately.

Jiang Yi looked at Feng Qin, "That..."

Feng Qin said with a smile: "Calm down. I guess it's nothing serious, otherwise I wouldn't have told you to go back when you're free."

Jiang Yi thought about it, and the same thing happened.If it was something important, the people who came to invite him could not have known about it.

Jiang Yi said, "I want to go back..."

Although he had asked someone to prepare the car, in fact he should ask Feng Qin first, logically speaking, Feng Qin would let him leave the mansion before he could leave.

Feng Qin squeezed his hand, "Go, go and come back early. Let someone tell me if there is anything."

"it is good."

Feng Qin personally sent Jiang Yi to the door.

The carriage drove all the way to General Pingnan's Mansion.

After entering the mansion, the butler greeted him, "See Wangfei."

"Get up, what happened at home?" Jiang Yi hurriedly asked.

"Princess, don't worry, the master, aunt and young master are all fine." The butler knew what Jiang Yi was most concerned about, so he reassured Jiang Yi first.

Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter?"

The butler said with a bitter face, "I don't know the specifics. You can ask my aunt."

Jiang Yi nodded and went directly to Qingyun Courtyard.

In Qingyun Courtyard, Mrs. Guo is kneeling in the courtyard. The sun is very hot this afternoon, Mrs. Guo must have been kneeling for a long time, and she is already shaking a little.

Seeing Jiang Yi coming, everyone in the courtyard saluted him.

When Guo saw Jiang Yi, she immediately regained her spirits, rushed over and hugged his leg and cried, "Princess, you must save Chan'er! My Chan'er, she is so pitiful and innocent..."

Jiang Yi wanted to kick her away, but it was not decent.

Fortunately, Jiang Xianzhi came out after hearing the voice, saw the scene outside, and said angrily: "Mr. Guo, what are you doing?!"

At this time, Guo Shi was no longer afraid of Jiang Xianzhi, and continued to cry: "Princess, you must help my Chan'er!"

Jiang Xianzhi angrily scolded the woman beside her, "Don't take her away yet!"

"Yes!" The mothers-in-law didn't dare to neglect, they hurriedly set up Mrs. Guo and pulled her out.

Guo's strength was no match for these thick women, and he was dragged out while crying.

"Auntie, what's the matter? What's the big deal?" Jiang Yi still didn't understand, but from what Guo Shi meant, it seemed that it had something to do with Jiang Yuechan.

Jiang Xianzhi took Jiang Yi's arm, "Come on, let's go into the room and talk."

"Yes." Jiang Yi helped Jiang Xianzhi into the room.

After sitting down, Jiang Xianzhi remembered that he hadn't saluted the princess yet, so he was about to get up.

Jiang Yi held her down and said, "Auntie, stop talking about such hypocrisy. What's the matter?"

Jiang Xianzhi sighed heavily, "You sit down first."

Jiang Yi sat on the other side of the couch table.

"Jiang Yuechan, she..." Jiang Xianzhi really couldn't open her mouth, but she had to say, "She...she is pregnant..."

"Ah?" Jiang Yi was startled. Why is this good-looking girl pregnant?

"The family is unlucky." Jiang Xianzhi looked sad.

"Then... who is that man?" To be honest, Jiang Yi is a man, so it's not very easy to inquire about girls, even younger sisters.

"Hey, it's said to be a counselor in the second prince's residence."

Jiang Yi frowned, "Second prince?"

Jiang Xianzhi said: "The girl said that she met that person at your wedding banquet, and then the two fell in love, so...just..."

"Marriage banquet?" Jiang Yi said: "Isn't the wedding banquet held separately for men and women?"

When Feng Qin gets married, all the princes must come. As for how many people the princes will bring with them, there is no fixed number, so Jiang Yi doesn't know who the second prince will bring with him.

"That's right. If she hadn't wandered around, how could she have met a foreigner? She even developed a love affair." Jiang Xianzhi became more and more annoyed, "Our Jiang family's face has been completely humiliated by her."

In Dasheng, it is a taboo for women to have children before marriage and have sex without a matchmaker.If something like this happens, these girls will be soaked in pig cages in order to save the family's face.

"Jiang Yuechan... how dare she? Was it coerced by others?" Jiang Yi thought Jiang Yuechan wouldn't be so stupid, right?

"Coercion? That's okay." Jiang Xianzhi said: "She bribed the guard at the back door and sneaked out to hang out with that person every other day. How does she look like being coerced? If she is really coerced, you can tell me , Our family is the General's Mansion, so are we still afraid of a counselor who has no official position? If something like this happens, even the second prince can't cover it up."

"But what is she planning?" Jiang Yi still didn't understand what Jiang Yuechan was thinking.

"Hmph, what are you trying to do? Are you still not afraid that I will marry her low?" Jiang Xianzhi already turned pale with anger, "The counselor in the second prince's house is more or less a prestigious figure, and she thinks such a person is worthy of her. She looked for it, just to be on the safe side, at most she is a middle-class family. Our eldest lady has ambitions, how can she be willing to marry at a low price?"

"Who are you listening to?" Jiang Yi comforted his aunt, telling her not to think about it, even though he thought it might be Jiang Yuechan's idea.

"It was confirmed by the nanny next to her. When something like this happened, I would definitely interrogate it severely. The maids and nanny were afraid that I would send them to the government to be punished for the crime of instigating them, so I recruited them." !"

Jiang Yi sighed inwardly, "What is Aunt's plan now?"

"I'm not sure about this. I've sent someone to bring your father back. I didn't call your brother, so let him take care of his job with peace of mind. Your father's daughter, he can figure it out." Jiang Xianzhi no longer wants to go Don't worry about Jiang Yuechan, if others find out, she will be ashamed to stay in the capital if she thinks she has raised such a thing, so she might as well pack up her things and go back to her husband's house!

"Don't be angry, aunt, it's not your fault. If that person admits it now, let's marry her off as soon as possible, and forget about it. After all, there are other girls in the clan, and what happened to Ruojiang Yuechan prevented them from getting married. , It’s a serious crime.” No matter who the other party is, it’s important to marry Jiang Yuechan first, and let it be nothing if you don’t see the belly.It's not that he protects Jiang Yuechan, but if he doesn't do this, the girls of his clan will suffer, the family's reputation is bad, and his reputation is not that good, and Fengqin will be implicated when the time comes.

Jiang Xianzhi nodded, "This is the only way to go now."

Not long after, Jiang Hengde also came back, his face was frosty, obviously the people who went to inform Jiang Hengde knew more than the people who went to invite Jiang Yi.

The three went to the study.

Jiang Xianzhi said, "What are your plans?"

"Plan?" Jiang Hengde was so angry that he was about to get angry, "Give up Mrs. Guo and soak Jiang Yuechan in a pig cage!"

Jiang Yi knew that his father was really angry this time, so he quickly poured a cup of tea for him, "Father, calm down first, don't get angry and ruin your body."

Jiang Xianzhi said: "I have no objection to quitting the Guo family. But if Jiang Yuechan is soaked in a pig cage, the whole city will definitely know about it. Although it is a way to protect the lintel, it will be difficult for a girl from the Jiang family to marry a good family in the future. .”

Jiang Hengde drank the tea in one breath and asked, "What do you think, sister?"

Jiang Xianzhi told Jiang Hengde what Jiang Yi had told her before.

Jiang Hengde squeezed his fist, and said to the boy waiting outside: "Get me her personal servant girl!"

After a while, Jiang Yuechan's personal maid was brought over.The servant girl knelt in the middle, shivering, her face ashen.

Jiang Hengde said coldly: "Go and find me the man who had an affair with Miss, and I will spare your life!"

"Yes, yes..." the servant girl repeated.

Jiang Hengde sent a few more people with her.

After the maid left, Jiang Hengde said to Jiang Yi, "I don't want your aunt to call you back."

Jiang Yi smiled, "Father, don't get angry, there is always a solution."

Jiang Hengde sighed, "You ran out suddenly, the prince didn't say anything?"

"No, he doesn't care if I go in or out, just tell him."

Jiang Hengde nodded, "It doesn't matter if you're here, after you go back, you have to explain a few words to the prince. Our family really doesn't intend to communicate with other princes. We don't know about Jiang Yuechan, otherwise I will beat her to death. Don't let her ruin the family's reputation."

"Father, don't worry, the prince will understand."

"That's good. Your aunt and I will take care of the matter here. You can go back first."

"Okay, father and aunt don't worry too much, pay attention to your health."

"Well, let's go."

Back home, just in time for dinner.

Jiang Yi told Feng Qin about the family affairs while eating.

Feng Qin said with a smile: "You concubine is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. How much do you want to have a relationship with the royal family? If you can't be brought into the family by the eldest prince, you turn around and attack the second prince's counselor."

"Do you know which counselor it will be?" Jiang Yi asked.His father didn't ask the servant girl what the man's name was.

Feng Qin thought for a while, and said: "There are not many counselors around the second prince, two of them are nearly sixty years old, it should be impossible. The remaining three, two of them have family background, and the other one is said to be short in stature. He's not as tall as an ordinary five-year-old, so it shouldn't be him."

"You mean the other party probably has a family?" Jiang Yi frowned.

"Well. If it's really one of them, your sister can only be a concubine if she gets married."

"I don't know if that person lied to her, or if she knew it and still belittled herself."

"It's all good, as long as you know, I can be suspicious, and so can the second prince. My father-in-law is afraid that I think he has different intentions, so guess what the second prince will think?"

After Jiang Yi thought about it, he understood, "The second prince will be afraid that the counselor will have a different heart for him after hearing Jiang Yuechan's pillow talk. So if that person accepts Jiang Yuechan, the second prince will soon think of a reason. , sent him away."

"Smart. So you don't have to worry about it. I think your sister's life will not be too easy in the future." Feng Qin smiled.

Jiang Yi didn't care what happened to Jiang Yuechan, but obviously, if the ending really went in the direction they guessed, then all of Jiang Yuechan's plans for prosperity and wealth would come to naught.But to take a step back, even if the second prince hadn't driven that counselor away, it would be impossible to reuse him, and the end point would be the same.

Two days later, news came from General Pingnan's residence that the counselor agreed to take Jiang Yuechan as his concubine.

Jiang Yi didn't have much emotion about what was expected.After careful questioning, I learned that the counselor's surname was Cang and his first name was Zhi. He was 26 years old this year. He had a wife and a child.

It sounds like the family relationship is still very simple.

"What's Missy's attitude?" Jiang Yi asked the visitor.

The boy said: "Missy is very happy."

Jiang Yi nodded, "Go back and tell my father and aunt, I'll go back to the house in two days and talk about it."

"Yes."

"Xia Feng, take him to fetch two altars of Autumn Lubai and bring them back to the mansion."

"Yes."

"The slave retire."

After the two left, Feng Qin poured himself a cup of herbal tea, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Jiang Yuechan is aggressive and jealous.She was one in a million, and she actually chose such a marriage for herself, and now that she is pregnant, she can't choose any more.That's good too, Jiang Yuechan left the mansion, and it's a good thing that there will be less people plotting against her brother.
