The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 410: Chen House Banquet
Chapter 410: Chen's House Banquet
Zian's side is lively and lively, but the noble concubine's side is really smoking.
King Nan Huai came back with a gloomy face, and after he came in, he sat down without speaking, only sulking alone.
The imperial concubine knew what he was angry about, and said lightly: "Just get the deposit back, don't want this batch first, wait for the next batch."
"How can I get it back? Those people have received double the deposit paid to the Wulin League. Now we don't want those bows and crossbows, and we have to pay double the deposit. This king has already said, wait and confirm. Find them again after this matter, and now it's all right, I lost a lot of money in vain." King Nanhuai said resentfully.
The imperial concubine was very annoyed, "Who knew that he kept such a hand? This is all a matter of course, and suddenly there is a divorce letter, changing the candidates, and asking you to investigate the Yaozhi case." /
"Where is he so easy to deal with? If he is so stupid, his son won't be able to return to Beijing for so many years. He probably already knew about your alliance with Liang Shulin. Liang Shulin rescued Lord Cui. The matter could not stand the investigation in the first place, I am afraid that it has already been reported to the Empress Dowager."
The imperial concubine was silent for a while, and there was resentment in her eyes, "Aijia didn't underestimate him, Aijia just thought that he would take care of his mother and son, even if he knew that Aijia had formed an alliance with Liang Shulin, he would at most profit from it, Who would have thought that he would cut his way, he was crazy, he didn't intend to be an emperor, why couldn't he let you do it? He worked so hard, not for the emperor's position, nor for money, what exactly is it for?"
"The mother concubine is so naive to think that you are going to kill him. How can he still care about the love between mother and son? His heart is made of stone, and he will not be soft to anyone."
"He treats Xia Zian well," the imperial concubine thought for a moment. "What do you think about Xia Zian? Can we start with her? Aijia doesn't believe that she doesn't want to be a queen."
King Nanhuai sneered, "Is it appropriate to ask the son-in-law about the mother's words? If you cooperate with Xia Zian, then the emperor will be Murong Jie, what's the matter with the son-in-charge?"
The imperial concubine knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and she shouldn't have said it in front of him, but when the idea was planted, it continued to take root.
Xia Zian, she has observed, is utilitarian. The people she associates with are not rich but noble, Hu Huanxi, Murong Zhuangzhuang, Chen Liuliu, Rouyao, and, she did not marry King Liang that day, probably One is that King Liang is known to be violent, and the other is that King Liang has no real power.
But once she said that she would give Murong Jie a marriage, she agreed with it, she had no ambition? impossible.
She comforted King Nanhuai, "Naturally, it's impossible for the concubine to find Xia Zian. After all, the concubine had attacked her before, and she hated the concubine, but this person's means can be used. Well, there are always things that you like, either money or power. Now she has power, but she doesn't have much money. Besides, you can see that the Hu Huanxi, the princess, and the Chen family are all rich families, so, This could be a breakthrough."
"Mother concubine, you think too simply, Xia Zian is not easy to buy, she and Murong Jie probably have feelings."
"Emotions also have a price. Besides, they don't really spend much time together, so where do they come from?" The concubine never believed in the so-called relationship. It is impossible for a person to only pursue feelings and not pursue substantive things in one's life. "Besides, if she is a smart person, she should know that Murong Jie has no intention of becoming an emperor. He has offended many people now. If she doesn't get some benefits, what will she do when she retires? The money in hand is the real thing."
"Where do we get the money to buy her now?"
"Xiao Xiao's life or death is unknown. If Xiao Xiao dies, Zhuangzhuang's family wealth will fall into the hands of the Xiao family. Now that Murong Jie is still in power, he can issue an order that all Zhuangzhuang's family wealth will be returned to the national treasury. Of course, Xia Zian can do anything about whether it will be brought back to the national treasury in the end."
"Will Murong Jie listen to Xia Zi'an?" King Nanhuai felt that this would not work. He was different from the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine thought of everything based on her own habitual thinking. She believed that every time Anyone can be bribed. There are almost no people like Murong Jie who ask for nothing. Xia Zian must have used a lot of means to climb from an unloved daughter in the prime minister's residence to the current position of the regent princess. A person who wants something.
As long as there is something to ask for, there is a weakness, and if you seize this weakness, you can make great use of it.
She learned this from the Empress Dowager Long. In the past, Empress Dowager Long told the Six Palaces that anyone who competes must first have this ability. If you don't have this ability, you should hide your weaknesses and don't be used by others. Because, as long as you are human, you must have weaknesses, and once someone catches your weakness, you have to pay for your own life.
At that time, she firmly remembered Queen Mother Long's words. She had always hidden her ambitions, especially in front of Queen Mother Long, she was cautious, but no matter what she did, Queen Mother Long's eyes seemed to be able to read people's hearts Thinking as sharp, therefore, do not like her.
King Nanhuai was vigilant in his heart. He knew very well that what the concubine wanted was only the position of the empress dowager, she wanted power, and whether it was him or Murong Jie who was the emperor, she didn't care.
If Xia Zian once took refuge with her and persuaded Murong Jie to fight, then his own destiny would come to an end.
Old Mrs. Chen entertained guests and invited the concubine, but she would not go.
Because she knows that the Chen family can't approach her, and she won't approach anyone who has no use value.
However, she heard a news that the eldest princess, Murong Zhuangzhuang, will also attend.
She was horrified and questioned Ah Fu, "Didn't you always order someone to monitor the Princess Mansion? Why don't you know when she's healed?"
A'Fu was also very aggrieved, "Yes, Concubine, our people haven't been evacuated yet, and I don't know how she survived."
"Trash!" The imperial concubine yelled, so she knew about the farce in the palace today.
As soon as the idea of bribing Xia Zian was born, it was quickly extinguished, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.
However, this may be better. If Murong Jie cares about Xia Zian, then he will definitely listen to Xia Zian's words. Xia Zian asks him to fight for the throne. Even if he does not agree immediately, he will consider it carefully in a while, as long as he is willing To think deeply, to be willing to try, once he tries the sweetness of power, he will be unable to stop.
This is the human heart.
The Chen Mansion is very lively today. The euphemistic name is to invite guests to dinner. In fact, it is a trial wedding to test the reaction and response of the servants. After all, for the Chen Mansion, Liu Liu's marriage is a major event, and then it will be a blessing. There must be no loss in the slightest.
Of course I invited people from the Xiao family over today. When Zi An and Murong Jie entered, the old lady was seriously talking to Lord Xiao about the bride price and dowry.
Zi An has rarely attended weddings in modern times, but she also knows that this is a struggle, a struggle about money and status between two families who are about to become in-laws.
However, the dialogue surprised Zian.
