Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 28 Rumors
From this, Lan Xi learned that the emperor is actually quite young, although he is not a fresh meat, but he is not like the old image in many dramas.

[-]th birthday, that should be an uncle!
Today's harem is fairly simple, and the real name and surname can be regarded as the master, except for the empress, only the Southern Emperor's noble concubine who dotes on the harem.

Except for Lao Bang Shengzhu who won the fifth prince's concubine Rong, the rest of the elders were not of high status.

The empress is the first wife, with an ordinary family background. She gave birth to two children in the early years and did not stand up. The emperor felt a lot of guilt towards her.

Unlike the queen, the imperial concubine is the eldest daughter of Nanxiang, with a noble status, and she fell in love with Su Wang, the favorite candidate for the crown prince, and almost got married.

Unexpectedly, it was the unobtrusive emperor who ascended the throne in the end, and he called her into the palace the next day after he ascended the throne, successfully cut off King Su's beard, and she has been favored to this day.

This kind of flamboyant and interesting story of two men competing for one woman, everyone seemed to know nothing about it in person, but talked about it behind their backs.

Lan Xi couldn't help being speechless when he heard this.

This imperial concubine is simply the native version of Mary Su Bensu!
The two princes both fell in love with her, especially after one of them became the emperor, not only snatched her, but also favored her for more than ten years!

Liu Yunyao also found it incredible, but she didn't stop talking.

Usually it's fine, but now that he wants to enter the palace, he has to tell his two daughters about these secrets carefully, so as not to violate any taboos by accident.

There is another rumor about the imperial concubine that is also very popular, and this rumor is related to a rumor about Nanxiang.

Nan Xiang's current wife is the daughter of his late mentor Cai Ge, but some people say that Nan Xiang actually had a wife before he got married.

At that time, Nan Xiang was not the prime minister, but a poor scholar named Nan Ming.

The son-in-law of Cai Ge's old list fell in love with him. Of course, the ambitious Nan Ming would not push away this good opportunity for prosperity. It didn't take long for him to marry Miss Cai.

Unexpectedly, a haggard peasant woman came to the door when she turned around.

This is an old-fashioned story. A poor scholar seduces a rich lady. After breaking off with her parents, the lady marries the scholar with her stash of gold and silver.

The scholar was so talented that he was chosen as his son-in-law by a high official, and the innocent and beautiful young lady became an old peasant woman and was abandoned in the countryside.

Lan Shu's face was full of sighs, and Lan Xi was also indignant. It seems that no matter what generation, there are such scumbags who are not as good as pigs and dogs.

"Mother, did the cheated lady get justice in the end?"

Liu Yunyao looked at her with alarming and deep meaning in her eyes.

"Are you stupid to listen to the story, how can you ask me such a stupid question?"

Lan Xi suddenly realized, yes, that scholar is now Nan Xiang, and his daughter is still the most favored concubine of the imperial concubine. That poor young lady probably doesn't know where her soul is now!
Lan Xi was in a daze, feeling sorry for that person, and Lan Shu lovingly patted her head.

"Mother, didn't you say that this rumor is related to another rumor? Why don't you say it together!"

Liu Yunyao was pleased with the deep love between the two daughters and sisters, and then continued to talk.

"There are rumors that this imperial concubine is actually the daughter of the steward in Nanxiang's mansion! Back then, the peasant woman had nowhere to go, so she went to work as a cook in Nanfu..."

Although the peasant woman had a scar between her forehead and eyebrows, she didn't look scary. The steward softened her heart for a while, and accepted the benefits, so she let her into the mansion.

Due to her poor life, she aged early, and she carefully concealed it, so no one recognized her as the crazy woman who was behaving in front of the Nanfu gate that day.

Because of her damaged face, she could only huddle in front of the stove and cook food all day long, carefully studying Mrs. Nan's taste, hoping that one day these two sluts will be dragged down to hell.

It's a pity that Nan Xiang was cautious by nature, and the peasant woman hadn't found a chance for several years. Just when she was almost desperate, Mrs. Nan became pregnant.

I don't know what kind of fate this is, Mrs. Nan prefers to eat her side dishes after she is pregnant, so she was able to move from the big kitchen to the small kitchen specially set up for pregnancy in Mrs. Nan's courtyard.

"Could it be that this peasant woman poisoned Mrs. Nan Xiang?" Lan Xi asked excitedly.

In her heart, she very much hoped that Nan Xiang, a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children for fame and fortune, would be killed by his original wife in the end.

"You!"

Liu Yunyao shook her head helplessly, and in a few short words explained the rumored ending of the peasant woman.

"The Southern Prime Minister's Mansion is not like our Song Mansion. The master's meal has to be tasted by the maids first. The peasant woman didn't find the opportunity."

"I only know that in the end, the peasant woman colluded with the midwife. When Mrs. Nan gave birth, she gave away the original Miss Nan as an abandoned baby. It was not until the imperial concubine was about to talk about marriage that Nanfu found the real daughter back."

"Where is that real lady now?" Lan Shu also asked curiously.

Liu Yunyao sneered, otherwise everyone would say that the imperial concubine is cruel and merciless.

"I don't know. For so many years, no one has seen that real lady. I only know that there is indeed a girl in Nanfu who is about the same age as the imperial concubine, but she is not the youngest daughter of Nanxiang."

"For so many years, the real daughter has been staying in Nanfu, nameless and unmarried?"

Lan Shu was kind-hearted and felt sorry for this woman she had never met.

"It's so pitiful!"

This drama of true and false daughters made Lanxi a little suspicious. Did she really travel through time instead of through books?

Lan Xi shook her head, she must have thought too much, art comes from life, maybe there are so many bloody things in life!
After talking about the emperor's concubines, Liu Yunyao began to introduce his children.

The emperor has five sons and daughters. The eldest princess's biological mother has passed away, and she lives in Beijing with her son-in-law. She ignores the world and is a transparent person.

The second prince, Zhan Xigui, is the crown prince, and the fourth princess, Zhan Jin, are both descendants of the empress.

The mother of the third prince Zhan Hui is the imperial concubine of the Southern Emperor, as the saying goes, a son is as precious as his mother, and the fifth prince Zhan Lin is deeply favored by the emperor.

Now, the queen and the imperial concubine are fighting like a raging fire. The prince is already fourteen, but the emperor still refuses to let him go to court to participate in politics. This makes the courtiers have to wonder if the emperor has already favored the imperial concubine.

But the crown prince is the heir of the Jing Yan Dynasty after all, and there are many supporters who pursue orthodoxy behind him. In the end, he still has to stabilize the third prince.

In addition to the princes who were eager to move, several older princes were unwilling to be lonely, especially King Su who was severely beaten by the emperor at the beginning.

The water in it is very deep.

After talking all the way, Lan Shu and the sisters didn't feel that the drive was boring, and they arrived at the gate of the palace without knowing it.

From here, they will be led to the banquet on foot.

"In short, after entering the palace, it is the best policy to talk less, do less, or even listen less, see less, understand?"
