Chapter 619 Re-entering Weiyang Hall
After Zhen Yuhuan left, Jia Lian raised his head, glanced at the princess indifferently, turned around and left.
Her identity is there, at least on the surface, a minister cannot do anything to the concubine.
However, this does not mean that Jia Lian is afraid of her. On the contrary, Jia Lian felt some pity for this domineering woman.
I heard that Xiao Jing is the prince’s father-in-law, that is to say, he is the grandfather of the woman in front of him.
Although Jia Lian couldn’t see it with his own eyes, he could guess with his eyes closed that Xiao Jing, the prince’s father-in-law and the core leader of the prince group, took the lead at the birthday banquet of the prince. , gave Emperor Ning Kang a heavy blow.
This act of seeking death, regardless of Xiao Jing’s own considerations, would definitely be a huge blow to the prince’s status in Emperor Ning Kang’s heart.
Now it’s even better. Xiao Jing has just finished, and his granddaughter completely ignores the overall situation and pushes the daughter of the Zhen family who was invited to the capital by the queen into the water.
It is conceivable that it would be better if nothing happened today, but if Zhen Yuhuan really had a problem, not only would the marriage between the Prince's Mansion and the Jiangnan Zhen family cease to exist, but the queen's reputation as a matchmaker would also disappear. Completely wiped out!
It can be said that women in some cities would not do such a stupid thing that could cut off both of the prince's arms, at least not openly. But this Crown Princess just did it!
Reminiscent of the fact that the prince helped guarantee the Zhou family's gambling capital of 10,000 taels, but when it was delivered to Rongguo Mansion, the people below him embezzled 2,000 taels. As a result, Jia Lian had a poor opinion of the prince for a long time.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with the prince, but why do the people around him always hold him back?
I don’t know whether to sympathize with his teammates, or scold him for being incompetent: he can’t even restrain the people around him.
But no matter what, these are the reasons. As the saying goes, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
Jia Lian didn’t know whether the prince’s snow mountain would collapse under the weight of these snowflakes. He didn’t really care, but he was sure that if the princess continued to behave like this without repentance, her end would be very miserable. .
Although Jia Lian thought so, the princess didn't think so.
Even if Princess Zhaoyang said she wanted to complain in front of the Queen Mother, she was not too afraid. With her status, let alone simply teaching Zhen Yuhuan a lesson, she would not be afraid even if she accidentally killed that "humble" woman.
She is the Crown Princess, the future mother of the country, and comes from a famous family. Her grandfather is theA first-rank minister would not sacrifice his life for the daughter of a mere fourth-rank official, right?
Therefore, when she saw Jia Lian wanting to leave, she thought Jia Lian was scared, and immediately exclaimed: "You want to run away? No way!"
"You dog slaves are still stunned What are you doing, why don’t you arrest this person who broke into the forbidden palace to cause trouble and hand him over to the inner court for punishment!”
After hearing what the Crown Princess said, the eunuchs who looked at the situation from a distance thought about it and formed a team. Come forward.
"Let's see who dares."
Princess Zhaoyang stood beside Jia Lian. Seeing the movement around her, she gave a cold drink, and all the eunuchs Stand still.
It is true that the Crown Princess is noble, but Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess’s status is not lower than that of the Crown Princess, and she was once the mistress of Weiyang Palace. Even now, no one in Weiyang Palace dares to disrespect her orders.
Therefore, facing the crown princess and the eldest princess, it was easy for the eunuchs to make a choice. They allowed the crown princess to scold them as much as they wanted, and just stood aside as pillars.
Princess Zhaoyang glanced at the Crown Princess with disgust, turned around and said to Jia Lian: "The clothes on Marquis Zhenyuan are also wet. It's better to change into another set of clothes before leaving the palace to avoid catching cold disease."< br />
Jia Lian thought about it after hearing this. To be honest, it's a lie that it's not cold when I'm wrapped in wet clothes in this weather.
It’s just that he is a martial arts practitioner and has a strong body. Thinking that after leaving the harem, using his identity to go to various functions in the palace and change into clothes casually, there would be no problem.
"Do you have anything I can wear here?"
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "Of course I don't have clothes for men, so I can only feel wronged by the Marquis and give it a try. Let's try on the eunuch's uniform."
When he heard that Princess Zhaoyang wanted him to wear eunuch's clothes, Jia Lian frowned, but did not refuse.
Just when Princess Zhaoyang ignored the Crown Princess and was about to take Jia Lian to change clothes, and the furious Crown Princess was already preparing to send someone to call the inner court guards, the old maid next to the Queen Mother came over.
"The Queen Mother has a decree to invite the Crown Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan to Weiyang Palace for questioning."
"Princess Zhaoyang said: "The Marquis of Zhenyuan wanted to save people. , his clothes are all wet, please forgive me and let him change his clothes first."
"No, let's talk about it after seeing the Queen Mother."
Jia Lian Knowing that the Queen Mother must have heard about what happened here, she asked them to come over. Since this is a confrontation in front of a person, what could be more convincing than the wet clothes on his body?
As for the matter of trespassing into the Forbidden Palace, if he didn’t want to expose his relationship with Princess Zhaoyang, I’m afraid it would beI can only admit it. There was nothing he could do. When he heard the cry for help, Jia Lian recognized it as the voice of Zhen Yuhuan's personal maid, and had no time to worry about it.
The old nanny said with a serious smile: "In that case, please invite me."
……
This is the first time today that Jia Lian, the main gate of Chonghua Palace, But this is not the first time we have come to Weiyang Palace.
And this place is very lively today. I think most of the royal family members and family members who came to the palace to celebrate the birthday of the Supreme Emperor gathered here.
It was still a familiar bedroom. The difference from when the Queen Mother forced him to marry Princess Zhaoyang was that the bead curtain was hung on the front that day, but today the curtains were dropped on both sides.
Through the curtains on both sides, you can glimpse the figures of many ladies inside.
On the other side, in addition to the Queen Mother and the Queen, there are two beautiful women sitting on the other side.
One of them turned out to be Yuan Chun, and the other woman in palace attire. Based on her seat and age, Jia Lian guessed that she must be Concubine Wu, the biological mother of the third prince.
"Mother, you have to make the decision for your son..."
Before she could see the ceremony, the princess who had just entered the palace began to flirt with the queen. He pounced on her, looking at her appearance, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Just now, Erchen was walking behind, and he happened to meet the sister of the Zhen family. Erchen thought that she was the concubine chosen by the queen for the prince, and was his future sister, so he was very happy. He stepped forward and prepared to talk to her.
Who knows, the sister of the Zhen family didn’t know whether she was too happy to see her son, or she was too thin. When the wind blew, she suddenly lost her temper. She fell on Furong Bridge. Fortunately, there is Furong Pond below.
When Erchen was panicked, she was about to find someone to save her.
Who knew that Jia Lian suddenly rushed out? When he came out, he falsely accused me of pushing the sister of the Zhen family down, regardless of the facts. Mother, this is a forbidden palace, and this Jia Lian actually appeared for no reason, and he dared to harm his son and minister!
< br />Later, Qing Ran also came, and she didn’t help me either. She even spoke for a foreign minister. Mother, you must make the decision for your son..."
Entering the Weiyang Hall The Crown Princess did not have the domineering attitude as before. She rushed to the Queen's side, crying and wiping away tears. In a few words, the matter was reversed.
As for Jia Lian’s name, it was not difficult for her to know it when she heard the old grandma call him Marquis of Zhenyuan. Even if she doesn't know it herself, her people have heard it.
Jia Lian felt a chill in his heart. No wonder so many women died in palace battles in previous TV series.
It turns out that many things are trueIt is not important, what is important is the person singing the opera, and more importantly, the person who upholds justice on the stage. It is conceivable that if the people on the stage are deliberately partial, the people below will have no way to complain even if they have all kinds of grievances!
It’s just that Jia Lian didn’t believe that the Queen Mother and the Empress would favor the Crown Princess today. Therefore, everything she does can only be a clumsy performance by a clown.
Sure enough, the Queen calmly pushed away the Crown Princess's hands holding her arms, and said in a neutral tone: "The Queen Mother is here today, so I'll leave it to the Queen Mother to decide what the truth is. ."
When the Crown Princess heard this, something bad flashed through her heart. The Queen Mother is young and doesn't like to be disturbed, so even though she is the Crown Princess, she rarely sees her. She feels that she has no friendship with the Queen Mother, and now she looks at the Queen Mother with a flattering expression.
The Queen Mother said: "Qingran, tell me, what happened?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor's sister-in-law's words were untrue. According to what Zhaoyang saw at the time , it was indeed the emperor’s sister-in-law who pushed Miss Zhen’s family into the Lotus Pond.
In addition to Zhaoyang and Zhenyuan Hou, there were also the palace maids around the emperor’s wife and the personal assistants around Miss Zhen’s family. The maid can testify."
"You are talking nonsense..."
"Quiet."
Although the Queen Mother usually ignores things inside and outside the palace, Her identity was there, and with a gentle scolding, the Crown Princess did not dare to do anything wrong again.
"Marquis Zhenyuan, what do you say?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness is right. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can recruit Man Xuelai, the maid next to your adopted sister. Reply, or confront the Crown Princess face to face after the righteous sister has changed her clothes."
Hearing Jia Lian say this, the Queen couldn't sit still, and she immediately asked: "How is Yu Huan? ?”
“Queen, although my sworn sister is fine for the time being, she was too frightened. Besides, her body is already delicate. If she fell into the water in such a cold season, even if nothing happens at this time, I’m afraid It will also greatly hinder the future."
As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, there was a sudden movement behind the curtain. Jia Lian took a look and saw that Mrs. Zhen's wife was probably among them.
The Queen also heard it. She looked very bad and glared at the Crown Princess. She had clearly made her stakes clear to him, and he had promised well. She didn't expect that today, when they met for the first time, he would cause such a big trouble for her!
Using the words "hate iron but not steel" is not enough to describe the queen's mood at this time.
When the Crown Princess saw this, she felt guilty, knowing that she could not hide it from the Queen and others, so she simply bypassed this situation, pointed at Jia Lian and shouted: "He is him. He is a foreign minister, how could he do this? Suddenly appearing in Weiyang Palace, could it be that he has something to do with the queen?Someone in the palace is having an affair. Today, on the occasion of the Emperor's birthday, he came to have a private meeting with his lover? Please also ask the Queen Mother and Imperial Grandmother to investigate closely..."
"Insolent. "
The Queen Mother's face finally darkened, she looked at the Crown Princess and asked: "Are you talking about the people in this palace, or are you talking about this palace? palace? "
As soon as these words came out, the Queen's expression changed and she quickly winked at the Crown Princess. If the Queen Mother didn't answer this question well, something big would happen?
Said that the Queen Mother had an affair with a foreign minister? Not to mention the Crown Princess, even she, the Queen, could not escape such a big charge.
The Crown Princess was not an idiot after all. After hearing this, she quickly said: "No, no, the Queen Mother misunderstood. I was talking about the palace, the palace maid, no, not the palace maid from Weiyang Palace, but another palace..."
The Crown Princess was also shocked by the Queen Mother's sudden words. , causing me to stutter.
“That’s enough. "
The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Zhaoyang, and then said: "Marquis Zhenyuan was summoned into the inner palace by someone from this palace.
Today at the birthday banquet, the Emperor ordered Zhenyuan Marquis to compose a poem on the spot. Zhenyuan Marquis composed a poem "Ode to the Pines" on the spot, which greatly pleased the Emperor Longyan.
I was also very pleased, so I summoned him in, ready to praise him a few words and give him a small reward on behalf of the Supreme Emperor.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan was ordered to enter the palace. Why did it come to your mouth that he was having an affair with the palace people? What is your intention? "
Jia Lian was a little surprised by the Queen Mother's words. He looked up at the bright Queen Mother and didn't understand why she said that.
The Crown Princess was also confused and subconsciously said : "But if the Queen Mother summoned him, why didn't he dare to say anything when I asked him before? Also, the maids next to me said that they saw him climbing over the palace wall from the west courtyard of Weiyang Palace, and Qing Ran also..."
The Crown Princess was a little hesitant after all. In fact, what I want to say is that Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang are having an affair. Because her maid saw it, Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang had both jumped over the wall before.
But she was afraid to say it outright, which would make her more angry. The Queen Mother was angry.
Jia Lian said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the ministers followed the order and were led by the palace servants to Weiyang Palace, and met Her Royal Highness on the way. Because the princess cared about the service I had done in protecting him, she deigned to chat with me for a few words. Unexpectedly, I heard a cry for help coming from the side, so I climbed over the wall to save people.
Although the matter was urgent, I finally violated the palace prohibition and asked the Queen Mother to punish me. "
At this point, everyone has almost figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
Yuanchun stood up and said: "I am the second concubine.My brother is young, so I ask the Queen Mother to treat him leniently for the sake of his eagerness to save people. On such a cold day, the clothes on his body were still wet. He asked the Queen Mother to allow the concubine to take him down to change into clean clothes, and then come back to listen to the Queen Mother. "
Yuan Chun saw that Jia Lian was all wet, and she was already worried. When she heard that the princess accused Jia Lian of breaking into the forbidden palace, although she didn't know the reason, she prepared a reason for Jia Lian to escape. .
It was said that she missed her brother, so she took advantage of the birthday banquet to summon him into the palace to see him. Who knew that Jia Lian did not break in privately, but was summoned by the Queen Mother.
Seeing that things had almost been said at this time, she was afraid that Jia Lian would be frozen, so she immediately came out to plead for mercy.
Not to mention Yuanchun, Jia Lian looked like this at this time, wearing wet clothes. His robe was wet, and his hair was dripping with water. The water droplets did not cover his clean and dust-free face. There was a certain desolation in his handsome face. He had already made countless women in the palace secretly worried.
“Fengzao Palace is too far away from here. "
The Queen Mother glanced at Jia Lian and called to the side: "Su Quan. "
"The slave is here. "
"Take Marquis Zhenyuan down and change into something clean, and then bring him over. ”
“Yes. ”
