Bastards

A long time ago, Concubine Tian Gui was making all kinds of preparations for her two sons, what each wanted, what she could want, what was enough to protect herself, what she didn't think of for the time being, she tried her best to do everything possible to plan for her two sons, The two sons are her life!

The power of the aristocratic family, she has been drooling for a long time, but when the king of Yue became an adult, the aristocratic family was not close to the court. She went to plan, but it might not succeed. Emperor Taikang would not agree, even if Emperor Taikang agreed, the aristocratic family They may not be willing to listen to the order, and maybe it will be a bad situation again.

Her background is not good, her natal family is not good enough, and she has dominated the harem all year round. Many people have opinions. No matter how hard she tries, the reputation of "traitorous concubine" cannot be completely erased. With her, with the ability of the king of Yue, she wants to get rid of Taikang Emperor Anwen It is impossible to be an emperor.

Over the years, what she has done the most is to compromise, to look carefully at Emperor Taikang's face, and to follow the situation to find things for herself and her son. Who can understand the resentment accumulated in her heart?

Now, by scheming the prince, step by step, I finally saw that the aristocratic family is loose, and I have found a beautiful daughter from the aristocratic family. Seeing that I can give each of the two sons one by one, relying on the Yue family, I have more foundations. Such an accident!

Lu Yi is good in everything. She has the demeanor of a woman from a family in her early years. Not only is she a good candidate for a wife and wife, but she also has a good vision. After two years of careful teaching, she will be great. No matter if she is given to King Yue or King Chang deficit!

Zheng Youniang's family background is good, but she is a little timid and a little stupid, probably because she has been educated in the bondage of women in recent years, and she can't keep up with her thinking.

She originally thought that both of them have powerful family backgrounds, and both are useful. The king of Yue has a big idea, and he has a concubine. It is not good to have another big idea, so she will give it to Zheng Youniang, so that he can manage it conveniently.As for Lu Yi, I will give it to King Chang. She has the right ideas, is talented, and will help King Chang plan things out. After a long time and influence each other, King Chang will definitely improve and understand her painstaking efforts.

Well, now that Lu Yi is gone, there is only Zheng Youniang, who is it for?

Give her to whom!

For King Yue, not only did King Chang not get the Cui Ying he wanted, but he couldn't even get the daughter of the family, would he be happy?Not to mention that he was seriously injured in an assassination a few days ago. Not only did he lose his tooth, but he was also injured there. His temper was not good. It was a sensitive period. One carelessness caused rebellious thoughts. How is the relationship between mother and child?Isn't this trying to poach her heart!

For King Chang, what about King Yue?This son is going to be the emperor in the future, no amount of power around him is enough, not to mention the unlucky days, repeated mistakes, now even the left minister is lost, and there is no new power to support, what should we do in the future?

The imperial decree of the draft was issued before, and as soon as the list of show girls came out, she told the king of Yue that she had prepared the daughter of the family this time for him!

Tian Guifei's angry nails dug deeply into her palm.

Who... Who broke her game!

Lu Yi, the Lu family...

They're all unlucky trash!

What happened to Lu Yi was an accident. Everyone present did not expect it. Yang Xuan was also a little surprised. But thinking that it had nothing to do with him, he didn't pay much attention to it. So when everyone's eyes were on Lu's family, he happened to see Concubine Tian Gui. Momentary gaffe.

Although she hid it well, her emotions couldn't deceive anyone. This old hag is not happy!

Seeing her unhappy makes him happy!

Very cool!

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion and you have to control yourself, His Highness the Crown Prince would surely be able to laugh out his molars.

He tried his best to clear his eyes, and he froze, just in time to see the back of the little eunuch who sent the message.

After finishing the work, the man is retreating with a wink.

While stepping back, the little eunuch made a very inconspicuous gesture, similar to an orchid finger.

This movement was not abrupt on the eunuch, even if someone saw it, they wouldn't think of anything, but Yang Xuan's eyes paused suddenly.

Just an orchid finger can't explain anything, but if you wear a jade pendant with a prescribed pattern and a handkerchief with a special color pattern around your waist, it will be obvious... This is Shi Fu's message to him!

Shi Fu said, the matter is perfectly resolved!

What is the perfect solution?Didn't the previous plan go smoothly?

Yang Xuan thought for a while, then glanced at Concubine Tian——

So this old hag did play tricks, but somehow Shi Fu found out and got it done?

But Shi Fu's task today is to stay in his yard all the time, collecting information from various sources in case of emergency, how could it be...

He subconsciously glanced at Cui Mata.

Others didn't understand Yang Xuan's special code, but Cui Yu, the planner, knew it, so he understood it on the spot.When Yang Xuan looked over, he smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

Yang Xuan was even more refreshed and extremely excited. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have wished to go out and fly a few laps!

He has the smartest, best-looking rabbit who loves him the most in the world, and he is sure to be invincible. Who, stop, who, die!

He is not clear about Concubine Tian Gui's secret tricks, but he is very clear about Concubine Tian Gui's thoughts and what he is struggling with now.

He is stupid to help delay time at this time, enough for Concubine Tian Gui to come up with an excellent way to deal with it. At this time, he is to poke her heart quickly, let Concubine Tian Gui subconsciously make a judgment, and let everyone take a good look at it. Which son is he partial to?

His rabbit said, always keep your eyes open, the situation changes with the situation, and the best way to break Tian Guifei's mother and son is to split up!

Just when the Lu family went down, he turned his eyes and said to the old man of the Zheng family: "Speaking of which, this time, the granddaughter of the aristocratic family, and Ling's granddaughter? Gu seems to have met her twice. Ling's granddaughter has an outstanding appearance, a quiet personality, and a talent." Excellent."

It is not natural to provoke directly, and it is possible that Concubine Tian Gui will see it and try to grab it—it will definitely make Concubine Tian Gui anxious.

Although Emperor Taikang agreed to him not to choose a concubine, but if he really likes it, if he asks, maybe he will succeed?

These days, he is very popular!

Sure enough, Emperor Taikang glanced at the crown prince with a slightly warm expression, meaning: "Zheng Aiqing's granddaughter, I also have the impression that she is a good one."

The Zheng family planned differently from other aristocratic families, they really wanted to have a concubine, the old father and son of the patriarch immediately said modestly: "It's an honor for my granddaughter to be in the eyes of the royal family!" He also said and glanced at the prince .

As expected, Concubine Tian Gui was in a hurry, and immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty—" she leaned into Emperor Taikang's ear and said a few words.

Emperor Taikang laughed twice: "It turns out that there is a tacit understanding! I think it is good, Zheng's beautiful daughter and young lady, gentle and dignified, and my son Chang Wang's male talent and female appearance, are justly matched, not as good as heaven and earth If you want a man to marry a woman, choose a date to get married—what does Zheng Aiqing think?"

Mr. Zheng was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed: "I accept the order! Long live my emperor!"

He hoped that his granddaughter would marry the prince, and the king of Yue had a concubine, so he felt wronged when he was young; the king of Pingjun wanted to marry his step-wife, and he already had a son under his knees, and he was not favored by himself, so he felt a little wronged; But the crown prince's foundation is too weak, he has too many enemies, and he is a little dangerous; although King Chang is a bit bad-tempered, he is favored and has no wife or children, which is very suitable!

Emperor Taikang looked at the prince: "Don't be envious, study hard for a year, and then the emperor will choose a good one for you!"

Yang Xuan then waved his hand: "Don't, we'd better wait for the son and minister to get things straightened out, or else we'd neglect the bride, how bad would it be?"

Whether intentionally or not, when he said the word 'bride', his tone was slightly slow, and the classmate glanced in Cui Yu's direction.

Cui Yu took a sip of tea and choked in his throat, almost choking.

This bear will not stop until he does something!

Concubine Tian Gui ignored the crown prince, snatched the family daughter back, and was relieved to settle the matter.

But this breath was half relieved, and she suddenly stopped when she met King Shangyue's eyes.

For a moment, I only thought of King Chang, and forgot about this son!

King Yue's eyes were very calm, he didn't complain, he didn't feel disappointed, as if... he had already gotten used to this. When he knew that there was only one beautiful girl in the family, he had already anticipated this result in advance, and it was not surprising at all.

Concubine Tian quickly comforted King Yue with her eyes.

As the favorite concubine who has ruled the harem for so many years, Concubine Tian Gui is very good at observing words and expressions, and her eyes express her skills very well. She has no choice but to do it for your own good. There is a reason for doing this, but she can express any emotion that can be imagined. come out.

King Yue nodded and avoided.

I don't know whether to accept it or have other ideas.

Concubine Tian Gui's eyes were slightly closed, her thoughts turned sharply, she searched through the remaining beautiful girls to find a good one, and suggested to Emperor Taikang: "The daughter of Master You Xiangzhuang is also good, I think it is very suitable for the King of Yue..."

Emperor Taikang didn't think there was anything wrong with choosing a concubine for his son. It was someone else's blessing to serve his son!He agreed immediately, and ordered Zhuang Li to prepare to send his daughter into the palace.

Zhuang Li... A little dumbfounded.

Although his daughter has entered the draft list, but his wife has entered the palace and passed the word, her daughter is optimistic about her family and has a home, and now the imperial concubine directly cuts off her husband - what is the rule?

But the emperor has issued an order, can this matter be postponed?

Impossible.

He had to follow his mind and accept the order.

I just hope that my daughter's temper... don't make a fuss, don't go too far, life, after all, has to go on.

King Yue knew in his heart that it was Concubine Tian Gui who was making up for him.

The left minister stepped down, and the right minister was the most powerful. Zhuang Li was a smart and progressive man. If he married his daughter as a side concubine, the right minister could no longer be someone else.

But who can't understand the current situation?

The best is replaced by the second best, and he still needs to be grateful to Dade, thank you everyone?

Concubine Tian Gui never got a look from her son, and felt a little uncomfortable.

In the end, after almost all the important girls were pulled out for a walk, her complexion was almost distorted, and her eyes were extremely strange, as if she was extremely depressed, and she finally waited until the big show started!

No, the most important scene she was looking forward to the most was at this moment!

Guo Xiangmei!

But after waiting and waiting, there was no one.

She motioned for Nanny Gui to look for her. Nanny Gui went out for a while and shook her head when she came in.

No matter how tacitly the two masters and servants understood each other, they couldn't finish explaining things in one sentence, and their eyes couldn't express them at all.

Now that Emperor Taikang is here, she can't find an excuse to leave... She just opened her mouth and said to Emperor Taikang: "I remember that among the show girls this time, there was a very obedient and honest girl, but her appearance was not as good as others. The surname is Guo... Your Majesty, the beautiful girls next to her have family members to help them, but this one's family background is not obvious, why don't you be a good person and help her choose a husband?"

Speaking of others, Emperor Taikang had the impression that he didn't remember Guo Xiangmei at all, not only did he not remember people, he even didn't remember his family background.

More importantly, none of the Guo family members came.

You can't ask your elders what they mean, you have to ask yourself, so Emperor Taikang ordered Guo Xiangmei to be summoned.

As a result, the person who went back came back with very bad news, this beautiful girl committed suicide!

Emperor Taikang narrowed his eyes: "Suicide? What's going on!"

The eunuch knelt on the ground with his head lowered: "The servant passed the message that Guo Xiunv was not in the room, and there was a handwritten letter on the table, saying that she had done something wrong and had an affair with a servant of Yihuangzhuang, and she was shameless." People, even more shameless, brought wild species to fit people, and have... already committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well."

This fact is a bit of a slap in the face.

In Huangzhuang, beautiful women live in groups, and safety is the first priority, but such a thing happened!

Having an affair with someone, is it a man who doesn't have long eyes, who can overcome many barriers, have an affair with a beautiful girl, and have a wild species?Why are the Huangzhuang guards so inadequate!

"presumptuous!"

The little eunuch knew that he would be angered if he said this, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so angry that he directly threw the wine glass in his hand, and his face was covered with blood.But even if the pain was excruciating and the blood pierced his eyes, he still didn't dare to move, and suffered silently: "I don't dare to lie...Master Tong has led people to search..."

Concubine Tian Gui was dumbfounded when she heard this.

How can it be!

She knows Guo Xiangmei best. She has great eyes and low hands, and she can't see how much she weighs. She is good at dreaming, and she thinks that the chance is very great, and she will definitely be able to fly to the top of the phoenix!I don't know who gave her the courage.

But such people are best exploited.

She casually tried to get someone to try him out, and he was hooked, and he cooperated so well that he dared to swear.

It is impossible for a person who is so stupid to move forward suddenly to wake up suddenly, let alone commit suicide in fear of crime!

There must be something going on here!

Is it the prince!

The prince knew about Guo Xiangmei, so...

Concubine Tian Gui just wanted to guide public opinion, and took the opportunity to splash dirty water on the prince's head, when suddenly her eyes changed and her throat was blocked.

This kind of thing, the effect is the most shocking for the person involved. If she doubts that the prince did it, and kills her for fear of being discovered, then the prince can also fight back, saying that she knew that Guo Xiangmei was pregnant, and deliberately killed and used it to frame him. !

Both sides have no evidence, mutual suspicion, the matter will expand infinitely, both of them will lose, no one is more embarrassing, only the emperor is more embarrassing.

The emperor's selection of girls, even ingeniously set the location in Huangzhuang, and he looked closely at everything, thinking that everything would be safe, but it turned out that something happened to Banchan Fu'an first, and then something happened to Guo Xiangmei!He was being slapped in the face for stopping two consecutive scandals!

What's more... Guo Xiangmei was started by Concubine Tian Gui, no matter how you look at it, the suspicion of ulterior motives is even greater.

Concubine Tian Gui clenched her teeth tightly on the meat in her mouth, tasted the smell of blood, occasionally scratched the prince's eyes like poison.

Why!

Why is this guy so lucky, he can avoid one after another unfavorable things, and it can be beneficial to him in turn!

She pinched her nails tightly and took a long breath. Now, she can only count on Tong Xiu.

I hope he has a sharp eye and can see the cause of Guo Xiangmei's death, which was silenced, not suicide...

Tong Xiu has been in charge of the Imperial Guard for many years, and he is the most efficient in handling affairs. He has been busy for more than half a day, and he didn't even bother to eat dinner. Before the emperor went to bed, he came to report the case.

The body of Xiunv Guo Xiangmei was found, and she was indeed drowned.

He has rich experience, has seen various death conditions, and has a reasonable and well-founded judgment on the cause of death. He is very clear that this person is undoubtedly drowned.

Guo Xiangmei was still determined to die, tied a rope around her body, and fell a stone.The knot is tied between the wrists, which is the most convenient place for you to tie the rope. It is just a knot so that you can't bear to untie it.All the traces of the rope binding on the body - I have dealt with Wu Zuo, and people with some experience and knowledge have seen it, and it is indeed caused by the binding before death!

The facts are obvious, this person really committed suicide!

Concubine Tian Gui didn't believe this result, but the death certificate showed that Emperor Taikang recognized it, so could she deny it?

Eunuch Shi Fu expressed his satisfaction with the result.

How can he cause future troubles when he does business?

People, of course, drowned.I was worried that people would call for help, so I couldn't just throw it into the well alive, and it was not good to press acupuncture points to make the corpse stiff, so it could only be done in the room.Is there no way to drown people in the room?Shifu said that as long as there is water, which can ensure that it covers the person's mouth and nose, drowning can be achieved.

People will flop around before drowning, and if they really go down the well, there will be marks between their fingers and so on. Isn't it good to tie them up?It's not difficult to tie it up when you're alive, and make it look like you tied it up...

Of course, all of this, as well as how Concubine Tian Gui felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, how Emperor Taikang was dissatisfied, how Concubine Tian Gui suppressed her aggrieved and uncomfortable flattery, and appeased Emperor Taikang's dissatisfaction, are all funerals.

Right now, we can't let everyone watch jokes in the banquet hall.

Emperor Taikang ordered to go down and investigate strictly, and at the same time returned to the palace banquet to create a lively atmosphere.

It just so happens that the matter of the show girls is also finished, and the oral order in the hall will be supplemented later, and those that have not been delivered in the hall will be released later, and the matter of the show girls will be considered a complete conclusion.

The palace banquet didn't last long, and at the hint of Emperor Taikang, everyone got up and said goodbye.

……

Today's palace banquet can be said to be full of side effects and climaxes. The affairs of the show girls blinded all the officials. It's really amazing!

Everyone exchanged opinions and looked at each other, women are as fierce as tigers, even the emperor can't handle it!

Then there is the matter of left-handedness.

Who would believe that no one intervened behind such a quick and easy masturbation?

But who has such a great ability, has no signs of doing such a big thing, and has not shown it after it is done, so no one can see it?

Is it good or bad for me to have such a smart person in the future?

As soon as everyone rolled their eyes, they found Mou Xingze.

Anyway, this one is the most fun one from beginning to end.Even if it was for the daughter in the early stage, later...someone must intervene, he must know a thing or two, right?

Facing a group of colleagues who pretended to be congratulatory, but in fact tried to find out the truth, Mou Xingze had a serious face and spoke impeccably.

Everyone sighed that Mr. Mou had grown up, but only Mou Xingze understood that he was still in a daze until now!

Who sent that secret letter that was shot on the door panel last night?

Especially the evidence that listed the crimes of the left prime minister, who can be so powerful and find out all of them?

At first, he stood up for his daughter, just for a justice, the crown prince raised some points, he was very grateful, but last night's letter with clear facts and complete evidence arrived so timely - at that time he was still depressed and had no chance to say, left The phase is powerful, who knows that today Zuo Xiang's family has all kinds of moths, which can just be poked out!

Find so many things, the connection is so accurate...

The prince is talented and good enough, but the current strength is really too small. Such a big situation should not be completed right now... right?

……

At the end of the palace banquet, all the show girls were brought back by their families with rewards from the palace.

When she got home, Cui Ying's expression changed as soon as she cleaned up, and she ran to Cui Yu with her skirt in her hand: "Brother, Concubine Tian Gui gave too many rewards, several times more than what was on the list, and some of them are obviously royal tributes." ..."

The little girl was a little uneasy, worried that Concubine Tian Gui was going to make trouble again.

Cui Yu thought for a while, smiled, and patted his sister's head: "It's okay, if she gives it to you, you can keep it."

Cui Ying blinked, pointed at her brother, and said in a long voice, "Oh—so it was for my brother!"

Cui Mata smiled.

He 'helped' Concubine Tian Gui, and he was kind enough to mention something. Concubine Tian Gui would like to thank him, it is very appropriate.

But he knew in his heart how much Concubine Tian Gui had planned.

He wanted to laugh when he thought that Concubine Tian Gui didn't know anything, was cheated by him, and even gave him gifts.

I'm in a good mood!

Some people are happy, some people are sad.

For example, Emperor Taikang was extremely dissatisfied with this palace banquet, thinking that he was greatly humiliated, and managed all kinds of affairs in the harem. Concubine Tian Gui, who was in charge of this banquet, did not do well, and must be punished!

For example, Concubine Tian Gui suffered so many blows one after another. What she wanted to do failed, and everything she didn’t want to do got her lungs poked. She felt ashamed, angry and resentful. She didn’t know what emotion to use to treat others. Emperor Kang's censure, flattery, to make up for the image; Facing the indifference of his son, King Yue, he comforted and explained that he had to make a plan for his son to save face, so that the mother and son could reunite as before; and also had to face King Chang's illness , Carefully comfort.

King Chang had injured his teeth twice in a row, but this time he also injured that part. No matter how well the imperial physician rejuvenated him, he would never be able to return to his original state. He had a surly temper, and no one would be surprised by how bad his temper would become now.

As for himself, he doesn't want Zheng Youniang, who is the only one, no matter what her background, he just wants the energetic Cui Ying, but his mother knows it, but she doesn't make it for him!

Even if he was coaxed to be 'good', he was still upset. He felt that his mother was partial to his elder brother. Whatever was good, those who had power and power would give it there. What is the use!

As for King Yue, he had a long talk with Concubine Tian Gui, and on the surface he was affectionate and obedient, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Zhuang Li's youngest daughter, Zhuang Shu, also lost her temper at home.

She and her cousin's childhood sweethearts are in love with each other, they have the same heart, and the two families have already had a tacit understanding, and they have agreed to go through the process of getting married this year.When the list of show girls came out, she was not happy, and was persuaded by her family to go on, saying that she had made an agreement with the imperial concubine in the palace, and that the empress had a deep heart and would not point her out at others.What kind of family is their banker, who doesn't even have this bit of face?

It turned out that there really wasn't!

It was a waste of her watching the fire from the other side, not getting involved with anyone, and acting so obediently, and now she was given a decree to the Yue Palace!

Why!

She doesn't want it, this is not the result she wants!

But the imperial decree has been issued, she cries and quarrels and refuses to admit it, even if the whole Zhuang Mansion is smashed, it will be useless.

"My child...you have to accept your fate." Her mother caressed her head with tears in her eyes, "We women, it's just what the men say. If you carry it on, can you survive? There is nothing wrong with the Queen and Concubine Yue. The rank is high, above ten thousand people, and my mother will have to salute you when she sees you in the future... If there is a day in the future, you will not have the opportunity to hold the Phoenix seal... What good is it if you make trouble like this? It will not only harm You yourself will harm your cousin's family..."

The family took turns to persuade her, but Zhuang Shu was already numb.

For a long time, she stopped talking, stopped making trouble, and even met her cousin once, said goodbye sharply, and seemed to be obedient, waiting to get married.

But what she was thinking in her heart, only she knew.

……

Yang Xuan was also a little unhappy.

Because he knew Concubine Tian's plan, Guo Xiangmei and others made a child, and wanted to blame him!

Just thinking about the way that woman Guo Xiangmei misses him makes him feel sick, he's giving up the whole child!

His head is so green, so he is so easy to bully!

He felt that he was deeply hurt... He especially needed to be touched and comforted!

If you are wronged, you can find your own Qingqing.

He stayed in Huangzhuang until late at night, seeing that everything was quiet, he left quietly, and once again went to go through the window of Cui Yu at night——
