Chapter 796 Six Palaces
In Yaoguang Hall, Chen Kefu and Changsun Wugui were rarely alone, talking about some past events from time to time, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
"Your Majesty, Empress Xiao presented the imperial seal to Your Majesty, and later helped Your Majesty to appease Yang Gao, the Marquis of Xiaoyao. Previously, Pei Shiju and others wanted to cause trouble, and Empress Xiao secretly reported it to Your Majesty. In addition, this abdication ceremony was so smooth, so it was all because of her efforts to appease Yang Gao. How should Your Majesty thank her for her contribution? I know that Empress Xiao did not leave the palace to live with Yang Gao, but was still in the palace." After Changsun Wugui gave birth, the person became much richer, with a red and beautiful person, and had a more majestic spirit.
Chen Kefu was drinking hot tea when he heard the sound and his hands shook, and the hot tea in the cup overflowed.
Just as he was a little busy, Changsun Wugui handed over a handkerchief. Chen Kefu took it and wiped it, looking at Changsun awkwardly. Although he seemed to be just talking about the matter, Chen Kefu obviously felt an unusual aura.
He knew that the matter between him and Empress Xiao must have been discovered by Changsun. Changsun is now the lord of the palace, and it is impossible for him to really hide the matter between him and Empress Xiao in the palace. He never thought that he could hide it all, but he didn't expect that she would raise this matter in person. This made him feel a little guilty and didn't know how to answer.
He looked up at Changsun, and saw that she was still in a calm face, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and finally lowered his eyes.
Empress Changsun felt a little angry when she saw Chen Kefu's appearance. Finally, she calmed down and said slowly: "I have known that Xiao is interested in Your Majesty. It's right. Since ancient times, beauties have always loved heroes. How can I pay for such a great hero? I'm not like this? Your Majesty, I think it's better to take her as my concubine."
Chen Kefu looked at Empress Changsun with some gratitude: "Ji is the lord of the six palaces, and he will be my queen no matter what. Moreover, I have made Yu'er the crown prince. I can promise to Ji that Yu'er's position as the crown prince will not change. The crown prince is young this year, and I hope the queen can teach him well and make him a qualified crown prince. In the future, he will become a more wise monarch."
When Changsun Huanger heard Chen Kefu's promise, he nodded and showed a smile on his face.
Chen Kefu reached out to hold Changsun and whispered: "My affairs with Xiao are just a private matter. She is Ji'er's mother. I will not put my relationship with her on the surface. I hope the queen will not tell Ji'er about this in the future. Can you agree to me?"
Changsun Wugui suddenly showed a stubborn expression and said with a smile: "The affairs of Your Majesty and Xiao are private matters, so what does Your Majesty hope to have with Yang Guifei's sister Yang? I heard that Yang is pregnant. Does Your Majesty also hope to keep secrets?"
The Yang family mentioned by Changsun is Yang Jier's sister, Princess Nanyang, daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and wife of Yu Wenshiji. Everything was good between Chen Kefu and Princess Nanyang. It was quite a bit like the idea of not violating the river. He was always apologized for taking Princess Nanyang as Princess Izumo to Liaodong. Later, after Jier and Empress Xiao arrived in Liaodong, he simply asked her to accompany them. He did not say that he wanted to let her go back.
Later in the Taiyuan Rebellion, Yu Wenshi and Yu Wenshi and defeated fled back to Guanzhong. After supporting the King of Dai Yang You, Princess Nanyang had no intention of returning to Guanzhong. Princess Izumo and Empress Xiao and others went south to Luoyang. Chen Kefu and Empress Xiao rekindled and secretly began a secret meeting. Last time, Chen Kefu did not make an appointment with Empress Xiao in advance, and suddenly went to Empress Xiao. That day, he drank a little wine, but as soon as he entered the bedroom, he hugged Empress Xiao on the bed. Halfway through the matter, he found that it was Princess Nanyang who was taking a nap in Empress Xiao's palace. Although Chen Kefu also found that he had misunderstood. However, it was when he was drunk that he was not concerned about the fact that Princess Nanyang was holding Princess Nanyang and forced himself to bow. Princess Nanyang did not dare to scream loudly because of his face. It was probably guessing why Chen Kefu appeared in his mother's bedroom.
Afterwards, Chen Kefu and Princess Nanyang said nothing, and they separated, but they did not expect that Princess Nanyang would become pregnant just once. Now Chen Kefu didn't know that this matter would be handled like this, but he didn't expect that Changsun would know first.
"How did the queen know about this? Did Jier and Empress Xiao know?" Chen Kefu said a little embarrassedly.
Changsun sighed lightly, "The female official in the palace found that Yang asked the eunuch to buy abortion medicine. She was worried that Yang would be unfavorable to the pregnant concubine Zhang and Zhai concubine, so she reported it to me. I secretly checked it, but found that she was pregnant and wanted to have an abortion privately. I missed it, how could this happen? Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty is worse than to take her as Jieyu, and I think Yang wouldn't mind too much. If Your Majesty refuses, how would Yang live? What's more, Your Majesty doesn't have many descendants now, and the flesh and blood in Yang's belly is also the emperor's flesh and blood."
Changsun said something so much that Chen Kefu was very ashamed. That thing was a mistake. He was with Empress Xiao because the two of them had a feeling of affection and intentionality before. But with Princess Nanyang, it was just a pure accident. They used to have nothing good to say in the past. Now she is pregnant with his child, and he has to ask the queen to help him arrange this matter. He feels very sorry for Changsun.
Facing Changsun's virtuousness, he always felt a loss. If he had encountered such a thing as Queen Dugu, Princess Nanyang would have died eighteen times, and he might not have known that Nanyang had been pregnant.
With a long sigh, Chen Kefu gently stroked Changsun's back of his hand a few times: "Empress, sometimes I really can't control myself. I often think that I will finally become the king of a country, and sometimes I will inevitably indulge it. Fortunately, I have this virtuous queen, and in the future, I will take care of the outside and the queen. All matters in the harem will be taken care of by Jie."
Jixian Palace, the temporary residence of Princess Nanyang. Queen Changsun Wugui came quietly with a team of female officials.
Yang faced Empress Changsun nervously. Although she was once a noble daughter of the Tian family, she is now just a sister of the New Dynasty Concubine who was named Lady Nanyang. And because of the child in her belly, she had to face the wife of the man she was a little resentful.
"Your Majesty is going to make Ji the concubine, do you know?"
Yang looked at Empress Changsun in surprise and shook her head.
"Are you willing?"
Yang shook her head again. If she had the impression of that man, she only had resentment, not to mention that she had a husband and an eight-year-old son by her side. How could she marry a man who ruined her family and country, and a man who raped her?
Changsun turned his head and looked into the distance, was silent for a while, then turned his head and looked at Yang and said, "Ji is Yang Concubine's sister, and now she is pregnant with His Majesty's flesh and blood, and even more so. I have heard of the matter between You and Your Majesty. That matter is just a wrong beginning, but it may not necessarily be a wrong result. I am also a woman, and I can understand Ye Xian's feelings. But Ye must know that the child is innocent. Your Majesty hopes that You will give birth to this child, and I also hope that You will give birth to him. No matter what grudges you have had in the past, I hope You can accept Your Majesty's will."
"What will happen to this child when he is born? And if I accept his will, how will I face my mother and sister?" Yang finally spoke.
"When this child is born, he will be a prince, and he has a bright future waiting for him. And you don't have to worry about the reactions of Yang and Mrs. Xiao. They will only bless you when they know. Is there any man in this world who is more worthy of marrying than the emperor? What's more, this is a heroic emperor." Changsun comforted her.
"What should I do if my son, Zen Master Yuwen? He is still so young, only eight years old."
"Don't worry, the emperor will not treat him badly."
Yang nodded and stopped talking.
In the corridor outside the hall, the female official beside Changsun Wugui asked in confusion: "Why did the Empress do such a hard time helping Yang today? Yang is Yang's sister. Yang Fei has always been disliked. Now the Empress helps Yang as a concubine, isn't she helping Yang Fei?"
"I am the lord of the six palaces. Today I am not just helping Yang, but I am helping Your Majesty solve the worries. The matters in the harem should be handled by me, and all this is just a duty. What's more, I am the queen and Yu'er are the crown prince. The more generous I am, the more stable the harem, the happier Your Majesty will be." Changsun smiled slightly.
Jealousy and jealousy are not good for her. She is already the queen and her son is already the prince. All she wants is to keep it all. And she is familiar with the emperor's personality. The more generous she is, the more virtuous she is, the more guilty the emperor will feel. That will only treat her and the prince, and now the emperor's palace is just that person, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
Even if there is a Yang family in the harem, what if the Yang Concubine Sisters are favored by the emperor, no matter how smart their sons are, they are always princesses of the Sui Dynasty and daughters of Yang Guang. Their sons are absolutely impossible to become princesses, and all the civil and military officials in the court would not agree with that possibility. What's more, although the emperor could not control himself, the emperor was not a fool, otherwise it would not have been her turn to be the queen at the beginning.
"Send someone to inform Concubine Li, and say that the palace will go to her right away." Changsun Wugui said to the female official. In this palace, the only real status is Concubine Yang and Concubine Shu. Both of them met the emperor before her, not to mention Concubine Shu was even the emperor's wife. Now the emperor has greatly appeased the noble ministers of the former Li family in Hedong. Concubine Shu has a great influence in the court. Now Concubine Shu is pregnant again, so she should have a better relationship with Li Xiuning.
Yang Guifei and Li Shufei may not like her, but the queen must like the favorite concubines of these two emperors.
