I'm in love with this princess
Chapter 38 Palace Secrets
Meng Hanxing's fishing skills are not full, she has never been a patient fisherman.Fortunately, the bait, hook and fish are all ready-made this time, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
Wu Lienen, who is a fish, still doesn't know what kind of terrible situation he has fallen into. Every day after get off work, he goes straight to Yufeng Tower happily.
Off work is Meng Hanxing's own statement. In her opinion, the Ministry of Education is simply the most leisurely department in the world.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was very wealthy and gave preferential treatment to officials. As a sixth-rank official, her monthly salary was 120 taels of silver. In modern terms, the purchasing power of this money is equivalent to more than 7.
I have nothing to do all day long, and I can get more than 7 yuan by the end of the month, and there are various subsidies, and the benefits are terribly good.
In this case, if you don't do something serious, how can you afford a solid monthly salary!
One morning, Meng Hanxing watched a joke with some friends. After the next court, Meng Hanxing was dragged by his friends to a restaurant for dinner, and they talked about it.
Meng Hanxing's best friends are her steamed bun comrades who ate old Wang's buns with her, Lin Changqing who is in the official department, Wang Yu who is in the ritual department, and her good friend Zhang Yun who is in the united front.
The four of them found an ordinary small shop and got in. They deliberately went to the small box on the second floor to talk while eating.
"Hahaha! This is the first time I've seen a direct descendant in such a state of distress. If it wasn't for the important things this afternoon, I'd be a big bastard!" Wang Yu was the first to speak, and he was as happy as a child weighing a hundred pounds. .
Zhang Yun was taken aback by Wang Yu's reaction. He didn't know whether to drink the tea brought to his mouth or not.
Meng Hanxing said that his friend Zhang Yun's psychological endurance is still too poor, and he needs to exercise a lot, and he should take him to do things with him from time to time in the future, so that he will not react violently when encountering trivial matters.
"Brother Wang, I know you are happy, but you can't be happy about this too early. Now that the two families are fighting fiercely, his Wu family's arrogance is high. The Wang family will not offend the Wu family for the sake of a eldest daughter?" Lin Changqing can't change it. To get rid of his bad habit of being useless, Wang Yu's good interest was swept away by opening his mouth.
Fortunately, Wang Yu was very familiar with him, knowing that he had no bad intentions, so he just gave him a blank look and stopped talking.
Meng Hanxing moved her chopsticks first, and instead of eating food, she went to drink tea instead. She finally understood why these men were bald and had a long beer belly.
"Brother Wang was happy too early, but it was a young censor under the name of the Wang family who impeached Wu Bangyan for going in and out of the fireworks place. He felt that Wu Bangyan was an official ordered by the court. It would be too embarrassing to go to such a filthy place. He didn't Get involved with your master's family." Meng Hanxing especially likes to speak in plain language, often hitting the nail on the head.
Wang Yu really didn't want to listen to Meng Hanxing's words, because Meng Hanxing was even less interested than Lin Changqing.
But Wang Yu had to admit that what Meng Hanxing said was ugly, it was indeed the truth.
Wang Yu put away his smile, and said distressedly: "Oh, the direct descendants are too useless. I think my Wang family is a thousand-year-old family. How can I be afraid of the shallow mud legs of the Wu family?"
The history of the Wu family's wealth is more than 200 years less than that of the Wang family, and it is the shortest among the four families of Wang, Lin, Bai, and Wu.Moreover, in the previous dynasty, the Wu family was dismissed by the emperor at the time because of the imperial court struggle, and all the children of the family were expelled from their posts. The whole family was sent to the countryside to farm for several years, so the other three families scorned the Wu family as mud-legged sons.
Meng Hanxing didn't like to hear the name Mudlegs. This appellation sometimes refers to the arrogant and unreasonable people among the farmers, and more often, it is a contempt for the group of farmers.
In the eyes of the high-ranking gentry, the peasants who planed food in the soil and dealt with black soil every day were not much cleaner than the stones on the roadside, and their status was even inferior to the stones they could sit on.
"No matter how many years the aristocratic family has been in power, it can't compare to being in power at that time. The Wu family has shown its sharpness, who will not give up three points? Ever since the queen came to the court, look at my aunt, has she ever jumped out to be an eyesore? A green hat, don’t you just dare to let a little censor say that officials should not go in and out of the place of fireworks?” Meng Hanxing took a bite of peanut beans, and the appetizers were delicious.
The four of them can get together, so they naturally have similar backgrounds and share a common language.
Except for Zhang Yun who came from a poor family, the other three were all from rich and powerful backgrounds, but their relationship with the family was not good.
Among them, Meng Hanxing is the worst. She has been without father and mother, and she is almost an orphan.
Wang Yu and Lin Changqing are better than her, at least they have parents, sisters and brothers at home.
"It's really a joke. The Wang family softened to the Wu family. Who would have thought that 18 years ago?" , the current situation is different.”
"Concubine Wang Shu? In the past, it was rare to hear about this concubine Shu, who obviously gave birth to a second prince, but this empress is actually more low-key than the childless Concubine Baixian." Meng Hanxing asked with some doubts.
In her previous life, not long after she entered the palace, Concubine Wang Shu disappeared.
She didn't have much impression of Concubine Wang Shu, she only remembered that Concubine Wang Shu was extremely beautiful, she obviously had a son, but she was not more than two years older than her son, and more beautiful than a twenty-eight girl.
"If she succeeds, she will not only lose her life, but also implicate the second prince." Wang Yu didn't have much affection for Concubine Shu in the palace, a chess piece of the Wang family, and it could even be said that she hated it.
When Concubine Wang Shu was a noble daughter in her boudoir, she had an arrogant and domineering personality, and she especially liked to play with others. Wang Yu still remembered that when he was a child, he had witnessed Concubine Wang Shu beating his parents, while the rest of the Wang family did not dare to say anything.
Since Concubine Wang Shu was born, she was doomed to enter the palace as a concubine, and it was too late for the offspring of the Wang family to please her, so how dare they offend her?
The collateral lineage of a big family, especially the distant lineage of the direct lineage, is simply a dog of the direct lineage, and sometimes lives worse than a dog. He is obviously the grandson of the first master, but he lives without dignity.
"Is there any unspeakable court secret here? Let's hear it quickly. I can't watch the excitement of the Wu family and the Wang family for the time being. It's also good to hear the excitement of the Wang family." Meng Hanxing urged Wang Yu to speak quickly with a smile. She just bit the hook, and it's not time to reel, and she's feeling bored now.
Lin Changqing and Zhang Yun also agreed. They both knew a little, but not completely. They wanted to know more from Wang Yu. It is human nature to gossip.
Wang Yu drank two glasses of wine, overwhelmed by alcohol, his face turned red and his head twitched, but he couldn't control much, so he directly vomited the truth to his friends, "The current queen and Your Majesty used to be classmates and friends, do you know?"
"Friends in the same class?" Meng Hanxing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "Oh, yes, I heard that when the empress was young, she used to disguise herself as a man to go to college to study, but the empress went to Laishui Academy in the ancestral land of the Wu family, Your Majesty You are in an academy in the capital, how can you become a classmate?"
"The Empress secretly came to the capital to study, and later said she was in her hometown, but it was just for the sake of reputation. After all, if she was studying in her hometown, she must be with her elder brother at home, not alone among many male students." Wang Yu spoke with sarcasm, disdainful of the deceitful demeanor of the gentry.
Meng Hanxing understood.
Wang Yu went on to say: "Your Majesty fell in love with your empress at first sight, and then asked to marry her in every possible way. In the end, everyone knew that the current empress dowager was the empress back then. Because of this incident, she almost lost her position. Among the men, even if His Majesty proves that the Empress is innocent, the Empress Dowager is still dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager."
When Meng Hanxing heard the words "almost lost his position as a phoenix", he especially wanted to ask, how could he lose his position because of his son marrying a daughter-in-law or marrying a daughter-in-law from a big family?
But she didn't ask after all, there must be a lot of twists and turns in it, but it's all old history, so there's no need to study it carefully.
All you need to know is that the current Queen Mother is Queen Mother Lin, she finally got the rights and honor she wanted, and became the most honorable woman in the world.
"Your Majesty broke the engagement with the daughter of the Lin family at the risk of the disgrace of the world. He even declared to the world that he will never marry a daughter of the Lin family in this life. Countless people think that His Majesty is an infatuated type who only loves the queen in this life. But who would have thought that , Your Majesty married the queen, and for three consecutive years, the queen has not given birth to a son or a half daughter, after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, it was stated that the empress's body is weak and hinders her children."
When Wang Yu said this, he stopped.
The later plot, needless to say, Meng Hanxing can guess the general idea.
What is it called?A good man turned into a scumbag because of his heir?
Or should I say, the failure of the love brain?
Lin Changqing took over the conversation, and continued with Wang Yu's words: "I've heard a thing or two about what happened later. Counting offspring, His Majesty filled the harem, and selected eight from the gentry, and here was Concubine Wang Shu. See you, Your Majesty." After arriving at Concubine Wang Shu, she was astonished as a heavenly being, and she doted on Concubine Wang Shu so much, within a year, Concubine Wang Shu became one of the four concubines from a little Jieyu."
"Not only that, when Concubine Wang Shu and the Empress were pregnant at the same time, Your Majesty said that whoever is the next prince will make the prince the crown prince." Wang Yu smiled happily, fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes, "Concubine Wang Shu wants to be a prince, But she was one day late, the empress is in good health, the crown prince was born in just half a day, and concubine Wang Shu almost died at the gate of hell."
Although noble ladies from the gentry practiced martial arts since childhood, Concubine Wang Shu was arrogant and impatient when she was young, while the queen was competitive. The Wu family did not allow her to practice martial arts, but she insisted on practicing. Went to the largest academy in the capital, and became classmates with the emperor who was the prince at the time.
Fortunes depend on misfortunes, misfortunes depend on blessings, all kinds of arrangements of fate, who knows where it will end up.
Meng Hanxing finally understood. To put it bluntly, between Concubine Wang Shu and Empress Wu, it was Empress Wu who played the best game.Concubine Wang Shu was defeated by Empress Wu, and now Concubine Wang Shu and her son are cowering and afraid to stand out.
In this way, the conflict between Empress Wu and Concubine Wang Shu could no longer be resolved. How desperate was the Patriarch of the Wu family to try to win over the Wang family through marriage.
Besides, isn't the Patriarch of the Wu family playing against Empress Wu by doing this?
Also, Empress Wu is so powerful, why did she die early in her previous life?
What went wrong in this life? Where did her butterfly wings flap incorrectly? Empress Wu became the only empress who was in charge of the court when both the emperor and the empress dowager were alive.
