Chapter 588: It’s not easy to be a royal daughter-in-law
On September 25th, two days had passed since the emperor received the report from Nansi.
Zhu Xianming had not yet received the report from Zhu Jinghong, which made it difficult for Zhu Xianming to calm down, so he put aside government affairs and went to Kunning Palace.
In fact, it is not just about Liaodong. He has also roughly grasped the current commotion in the imperial court.
As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, so many people wanted to impeach him, which gave Zhu Xianming a huge headache.
Only by chatting with the queen could he calm down a little.
Zhu Xianming had no reservations about the queen and told the real situation.
"So Old Thirteen will have to wait for a while before coming back, and he may not even be able to come back for the New Year."
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming said angrily, "I'm talking about the changes in the north. , there is still the turmoil in the court, but you said something to me about the Chinese New Year, can you listen to me attentively?"
"You still expect me to solve things that are troublesome to you after listening to them?" Yang Qingyin asked calmly road.
"Of course, the young talents in your respective families can go to Liaodong to serve the court, and those who have the ability should promote themselves."
Originally, I was seeking comfort, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed and ridiculed like this. Zhu Xianming's face looked a little confused.
"Oh, you guys always don't let me feel at ease, and you only bother me with these trivial matters."
She was born on August 20, and today is already late September. Confinement in the narrow sense is over.
"There is a war in Korea this time, and this child also wants to be loyal to the country, so he wants to ask the prince for a job."
He has always kept his emotions secret, especially in front of his ministers. In rare cases, he only expresses his joy and anger in front of his wife and son.
"That's all, just leave your name later and I'll just say a few words for you. As for what the prince does, I have no control over it."
Speaking like a A countess is looking for a "future" for her son who is serving as a general in the Beijing camp.
Getting up angrily, Zhu Xianming pointed at the queen and asked, "Is it possible that you will be satisfied if I give up the throne to the fourth child?"
"You guys really think highly of me. The prince has always acted arbitrarily, how could he listen to me, a woman?"
"I know you are in trouble, but things should not be like this."
Hearing this, everyone They all stood up one after another, and then bowed to Baochai and said "Thank you, Princess Concubine"
But the only thing that remained unchanged was that the old couple fully trusted each other and really cared about each other.
These people are generals in the Beijing camp. It is definitely very complicated to transfer to the Liaodong front line. These people did not come to ask for transfer. Obviously, this step has been taken care of by them.
I thought that once the affairs in North Korea were settled, Zhu Jinghong would be able to return to Beijing to reunite and meet his one-month-old son. But now that the war has begun, it is difficult to know the date of his return.
"According to your wishes, I will send the sixth child away, and the fourth child will also be in prison. What else do you want from me?"
"To say it is troublesome is actually not a problem.No trouble, you can put a few million taels of silver into the chaos in North Korea and you can put an end to it. As for the court, you can suppress it even if you want to, and you don’t have to punish Old Thirteen if you don’t want to. Is this really difficult?"
The emperor is lonely, and the emperor who has great achievements and historical stains is even more lonely.
"If the people below really work together, if several sons unite as one, I think that will happen. Shi You really can’t sleep."
Strictly speaking, these things that everyone comes to ask for cannot be said to be trivial matters. After all, they are related to the future of several families.
The Royal Family It's not easy to be a daughter-in-law. She has basically had no peace of mind this month. There are so many people who come to see her. The so-called confinement period can be said to be lonely.
After all, in this world, there is no real life. Yang Qingyin was the only one who spoke his heart out.
Although these people came with a purpose, Prince Xiang's Mansion also had a use for them, so they had to be decent in terms of face. .
"Princess, to be honest, our boy doesn't have any great skills, but he can still lead a horse and hold a whip."
The noble family has a complicated relationship and operates this kind of thing. Although it is difficult, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still do it.
There will be a war in Korea. Baochai only knew about it today, so she was in a very bad mood at this time.
Everyone was talking to each other, complimenting Baochai on the one hand, and expressing their demands on the other. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After all, they have been a couple in trouble for decades, and Zhu Xianming had already known this. He was used to it, so he did not leave at this time.
Zhu Xianming felt that he was lucky to have a wife who shared weal and woe with him, instead of being a widower like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. >"What the princess said is absolutely true, but these boys are frivolous. If the princess can help say a few words and let the prince take care of them, it will be a great blessing for them."
Not to mention the old man of Kunning Palace How do husband and wife get along? At this time, in Prince Xiang's Mansion not far from the imperial city, Princess Baochai is meeting her concubine.
"I have to tell you children when I go back that since I am going to work under the prince, I will. You must be more upbeat and seize the opportunity to honor your ancestors."
Zhu Xianming is not a doormat, and his long-simmering anger is roaring out in front of the queen at this moment.
"Enough of these words. How many times have you told me that you think I feel better and I have no choice but to do this, can you understand my difficulties?"
The six beauties present were basically all first-level earls and viscounts, and their purpose was also They all came through the "back door"
The next moment, Yang Qingyin said something more pointed: "The changes in the court are normal, but it's just that they didn't go in the direction you intended, which makes you feel uncomfortable."
The queen is absolutely smart and wise, and sees the problem very thoroughly. In fact, she is accusing the emperor of being hypocritical.
The couple continued to argue. They had been living like this in recent years, and they got along well. Very few.
The queen looked at the emperor calmly and said calmly, "I am."I have never had such an intention."
I can't afford to go early without any benefit. Looking at these people in front of me, Baochai couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"To put it lightly, the country of Ming Dynasty is the country of the Ming Dynasty. Carrying it on my shoulders, how can you know everything about my difficulties?" Zhu Xianming sat back again.
After saying this most important thing, these ladies changed the topic again and talked about the capital.
The words that complimented the princess and the eldest son of Prince Xiang were repeated one after another and were not the same.
After half an hour, these people finally said goodbye and left. Chai Fang rested on the couch with her forehead closed.
When she was thinking about how to talk to Zhu Jinghong, she closed her eyes.
"Empress".
With his eyes still closed, Baochai asked, "Who is here again?"
"To return to the queen, Deputy Li Qianhu of Nancheng Qianhu Office sent someone to say I have something important to report to the empress."
Li Wenzhao is Zhu Jinghong's man, but this person usually does not take the initiative to interact with Prince Xiang's Mansion, for fear that others will gossip and be jealous of the emperor.
At this moment This person suddenly reported something, it must be a big deal.
When Baochai opened her eyes, Ying'er had already handed the letter to her.
Ying'er was waiting on her. She and Baochai were inseparable, and she was definitely someone she could trust.
So Baochai said, "Open your mind and let me listen."
"Yes"
< p> Ying'er did not hesitate. After opening the envelope and taking out the letter, she read aloud and softly, "Report to the palace, the situation in North Korea has changed. Today, we have found out that the ministers in the DPRK are planning to impeachment. I hope the empress will make preparations in advance."Zhu Jinghong has been impeached in the past, and joint impeachments have occurred many times, but Li Wenzhao has never taken the initiative to warn.
Now that he has taken the initiative to warn, the situation is obviously very serious.
p>
In fact, Baochai knew that something big was going to happen when she learned about the accident in North Korea at breakfast. The situation now seems to be more serious than she imagined.
No matter how much he hides his own mistakes, Zhu Jinghong's achievements are not worth it. It's too dazzling, and there are too many people who can't stand him. These people will try their best to bring him down.
And this is the best opportunity
So. How to deal with it
Baochai frowned, and then she realized that there was very little she could do.
Although she had many contacts with civil servants, these people were definitely unreliable. It can't affect the situation at all.
The fateful ladies among the nobles are reliable, but the identities of these people are too sensitive, and helping them is more likely to be counterproductive.
Although there is nothing you can do. But Baochai quickly came up with three methods.
The first is to stay close to the queen. As long as the queen still dotes on her younger son, no matter how big the storm is, it can't flood Prince Xiang's palace.
The second is to ask the two good sisters-in-law for help after the storm breaks out.
Baochai knows that the latter method will basically have no results, after all, the storm is caused by these two.How can they be willing to calm down the fire if it doesn't drown people?
But she had to do it, in order to put these two families on the fire.
We usually talk about how good the brothers are, but now they don’t help at the critical moment, just to let the emperor and empress see what they are like.
Thinking more, Baochai's anxiety gradually eased, because she found that she didn't have to worry at all, Prince Xiang's Mansion was completely invincible.
Since there is no catastrophe, how to take advantage of this crisis to seek the greatest benefits for Prince Xiang's Mansion has become the next thing she has to consider.
Getting up from the couch, Baochai took the letter from Ying'er and read it carefully while pacing back and forth.
Finally, she walked to a lamp, took off the lampshade and burned the letter, and then said, "Go and call Xiaohong over"
"Yes"
Just when Ying'er was about to turn around and leave, Baochai suddenly stopped her and said, "Forget it, no need."
What she originally wanted to do was to expose the Jia family's affairs and give the princeling a heavy blow. He wanted to attack and let Prince Rui's Mansion compete with him, but thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not in time.
Such extraordinary means must be used at the most critical moment to achieve the goal of sealing the throat with one sword. That time has not yet come.
At this moment, Baochai smiled slightly and laughed at himself in his heart, "I really have a big appetite. To overthrow the East Palace and Prince Rui's Mansion is not something that can be done overnight."
The opposite is true. It's the same thing. It's extremely difficult for the two families to bring down Prince Xiang's Mansion.
"Get ready. Early tomorrow morning, I will take Zhen'er into the palace to say hello"
"Yes"
Although the big waves are about to rise, Prince Xiang's Mansion is still operating as usual. Later in the evening, Baochai also organized the remaining sisters to listen to the opera, and everyone chatted happily all night long.
In the early morning of September 26th, a large number of honor guards and guards gathered at Prince Xiang's Mansion. This was the first time Baochai brought the emperor and grandson into the palace to pay respects.
From the time she gave birth to the present, she personally asked for permission five times in total, but because the child was too young, she did not accompany her.
But this time, in order to perform the painful scene well, Baochai had to take the child with her. At this moment, she was holding Zhu Muzhen and talking.
“Son, it’s not that your mother doesn’t love you, it’s really your father’s dissatisfaction that’s why you have to go to the palace to bear the burden for him when you reach full term.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. , who allowed you to be born into the royal family, or the son of King Xiang?"
Thinking about all the things that happened in the past two years, thinking about the complicated affairs that govern the royal family, and thinking about the human relationships with various palaces, Baochai is actually more It's extremely tiring.
Although she was still talking to him in his arms, she was actually lamenting herself
It is not easy to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family. In the eyes of the world, the princess who is highly respected, the only one who feels sad is herself. Only then did I know.
The carriage of Prince Xiang's Mansion could easily enter Dong'an Gate and then drive outside Donghua Gate.
When you get here, you have to get out of the car and walk on foot regardless of your will, and Baochai is no exception.
That’s it, she only took a few maids with her, then entered the palace gate and rushed to the depths of the palace.
It is impossible for more than 90% of the married women to see the queen at any time, and Baochai is just within that 10%.
Her journey was smooth, and she quickly entered the Kunning Gate, and then went directly to the East Hall first, because the Queen was worshiping Buddha at this time.
There are only two people living in the east hall now, Zhu Yunsheng and Xiangyun.
Daiyu returned to Jinling because her father was seriously ill and had been serving decoctions. She should be in her ancestral home in Suzhou now.
Of course Zhu Yunsheng was full of interest in this new nephew, so he kept watching and teasing him. On the contrary, Baochai and Xiangyun kept chatting.
"Your aunt came to me yesterday and said that one of your cousins was going to be transferred to Liaodong and asked me to help."
The historians came in the morning, and they were the emperor's most trusted people. It is very simple for Xungui to operate his back to go to Liaodong.
When talking about his cousins, Xiangyun introduced them in detail and commented on their advantages and disadvantages very objectively.
After staying in the palace for so long, I am used to seeing wives trying their best to please the queen, just to add a little benefit to the family. Of course, Xiangyun has also grown greatly.
So, when she can help her family, she will take the initiative to help.
After all, she knew that the amiable Sister Bao in front of her was extremely powerful.
Half an hour passed quickly, and finally the queen ended her morning class and ordered someone to invite Baochai over.
So Baochai held the child in his arms and walked to the main hall of Kunning Palace.
Entering the main hall, she was led into the Nuan Pavilion and saw taking medicine under the service of the palace maid.
This year in Beijing, Baochai felt very clearly that the queen's health was getting worse every year.
There is no doubt that this is a virtuous queen in front of her, and she is also a good mother.
Baochai was deeply cared for by the queen, whether she was once a servant or now married into the royal family and became a daughter-in-law.
Baochai couldn't help but feel sad as the kind elder's old age grew stronger. In addition, she was here to "sensation" today, so tears quickly gathered in her eyes.
When the queen put down the spoon, she saw Baochai's tears falling.
Seeing her so sad, Yang Qingyin smiled calmly and asked, "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
"Mother, if you are not good at chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha, you, your body It's better not to work too hard."
"Seeing you so tired, my wife is really heartbroken."
The eyes are red, the look is sad, and the tears are falling. This is a very sincere emotion. Express.
Feeling Baochai's heartfelt concern, Yang Qingyin smiled and said, "You kid is preaching to me."
While wiping his tears with a handkerchief, Baochai said with a smile Said, "My daughter-in-law only wishes that my mother will be in good health and wants nothing else."
"I know what you mean"
"MyWhere is your grandson now?" Yang Qingyin changed the subject.
"Mother, don't blame your wife for talking too much. You want to be more talkative."
