Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 478

Since the new emperor came to the throne, except for the replacement of the old and the new in the capital, the folks are still as usual, but there is a little more fresh prosperity, and everything will open a new chapter belonging to this dynasty.

Ye Huan reused Chu Qingzhou and Shaoyang, and the new generation of officials was full of fighting spirit, and they all wanted to have their own space in the future.

Shen Lanfeng retreated, but Rong Wuhou and General Xu Xu Changde were still in the court. Xu Changde, who was already vacillating, realized that the situation seemed to be over, and wanted to gradually distance himself from Kang Wang.

When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he is immediately faced with the matter of choosing a concubine, and officials with some background and family background in the court naturally want to take the family's status one step closer in this draft.

The Xu family has a daughter who has not yet left the court and is just the right age. She is also one of the four daughters in the capital. Whether it is family background or talent, she is a rare thing among women. Naturally, Xu Changde will not let go of this opportunity to regain trust in front of the new emperor. .

In the Hou's study room, Rong Wuhou's eyes were tangled, facing the invitation from Concubine Cheng, he fell into a dilemma and hesitation.

Concubine Cheng took advantage of the new year three days later to send invitations to the palace to the daughters of all the prefectures, saying that she wanted to have a small gathering in the palace and chat with her.

As the new emperor's own mother, this seemingly family gathering, people who have been officials all the year round know that it is nothing more than Concubine Cheng's desire to establish a concubine for the new emperor Ye Huan and stabilize the throne.

"Master." Mrs. Rong came in from the outside with tea, and seeing Marquis Rong's serious face, she handed a cup of tea over, glanced at the invitation, and said slowly, "Master often says that those who know current affairs are heroes." , but you are in it at this time, how can you be blindfolded?"

Rong Wuhou was stunned for a moment, and looked up at his wife who was five years older than him, her eyes were indifferent, seemingly emotionless, but with complicated emotions.The marriage between him and his wife was due to the weighing of pros and cons between the two families. He was forced to give up his beloved and marry the gentle and generous woman in front of him.

All these years, his wife has contributed a lot to his current status, and he is also grateful, but he still has some regrets, but he doesn't regret it.

"Master, Yu Tian is no longer the world of your generation, but belongs to those children." Madam Rong smiled slightly, "Wan'er is quick-witted and indifferent. In the harem, there will still be a place for her."

General Xu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant by her words, and frowned: "Madam, do you mean to let Wan'er enter the palace?" The eldest daughter is already the late emperor's concubine and has a five-year-old Although the prince is still in the palace now, it is just in a quiet place, a place for those concubines who have children to settle down.

"Let's not talk about the difficulties of seniority, Wan'er alone would not agree to enter the palace." Rong Wuhou sighed again, "Even if she entered the palace, His Majesty would not treat Wan'er very well. Even the Shen family The hundred-year-old family has been left out in the cold, and the Rong family is afraid that it will be soon."

The smile on Mrs. Rong's face also gradually faded away, she looked at Rong Wuhou seriously, and said: "When I was chatting with Mrs. Shen these two days, I accidentally learned that Shen Xiangzheng is planning to let Shen Jinsi enter the palace."

"What?" Rong Wuhou stood up in surprise.As far as he knew, the daughter of the Shen family was reserved for Ye Hao, because they didn't allow the heir to fall into the hands of non-Shen's daughters.Now that he has actually moved his mind to enter the palace, is the Shen family willing to bow their heads and become ministers?
Compared with Rong Wuhou's appearance, Mrs. Rong shook her head indifferently, and said: "Shen Jinsi is the head of the four daughters in the capital, and there is also an aunt who is the queen mother. As long as she is willing, she can stand as the new emperor in the overall situation." Considering the position, the latter will not be left behind. And the only one who had a chance to fight was Chu Qingzhou's younger sister, but Chu Qinghan had such a trouble, and he had already lost the chance to compete with her. "

The matter of King Kang and Chu Qinghan spread in the capital long after Shen Lanfeng's marriage proposal was rejected.I heard that Chu Qingzhou was furious about this, and locked Chu Qinghan in the boudoir. As for whether the child was kept or not, no one knew.

And at that time, the death of the first emperor and the shocking event of the new emperor's life experience were followed by people's imperceptible forgetting.

Hearing the words, Marquis Rong lowered his head to think for a moment, then nodded: "Madam is right. Even though Chu Qinghan is no longer qualified, Chu Qingzhou is still used by the emperor, and even has power in the court. Maybe the Chu family will be The next Shen family."

Mrs. Rong shook her head disapprovingly, but she didn't say much, she just said: "Wan'er is very sensible, she knows that the Rong family is in an extraordinary period, and she is willing to enter the palace. She asked me to say what I said today .”

Rong Wuhou was stunned, looking at his wife who was over fifty years old but still well-maintained, he felt sorry for himself.Even his wife and daughter understand the truth, but he is still vacillating, not knowing what to do.

"Madam, don't worry, I know what to do." Rong Wuhou took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and fixed his eyes on the luxurious invitation card, becoming firm every inch...

Under the same sunshine, in the courtyard of Chenxiang Palace, Concubine Cheng was lying on a soft couch in a luxurious and graceful palace robe, her eyes were slightly closed, her forehead was resting on one hand, basking in the sun in a very leisurely posture.

A few maids stood by with their heads bowed, holding various fruit plates and snacks in their hands, waiting for them at any time.

"Your Majesty is here!" There was a sudden announcement from outside, and the maids immediately knelt down to become the concubine, but they didn't even move their brows.

Ye Huan stepped into the Chenxiang Palace wearing a bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with intricate dragon patterns. All he could see was his mother, who had always been simple and clean in his impression, wearing exquisite makeup and wearing a dress comparable to a phoenix robe. A scene surrounded by people from the third and fifth palaces.

Ye Huan only found it ironic that his mother, who he always thought didn't like to fight for power and had nothing to do with the world, turned out to be just an appearance.It turns out that the highest level of pretense is to cover up flawlessly even the only close relative in the world.

His ambition and wants have never been hidden, he just uses all available resources to seek and fight.

His mother and concubine not only did not support him, but also beat him over and over again. Now that I think about it, it is really ridiculous.

"Let's all go down." Sensing the sound of footsteps approaching, Concubine Cheng spoke lightly, sat up slowly, and waved her hands to signal all the palace staff to retreat.

The palace servants retreated respectfully, Ye Huan glanced at Chang Qing beside him, waved his hand, and signaled him to retreat.

The palace garden is deep, under the dead tree, only mother and son are left.The breeze passed by, and the sun was warm, but it couldn't warm the alienated and cold heart at this time.

Concubine Cheng poured a cup of tea herself, then put it on the low table, looked up at Ye Huan with a smile, and still smiled kindly and called: "Huan'er, come and sit down."

Ye Huan stood still, just watching Cheng Taifei quietly.In a daze, he seemed to have returned to a few days ago, and his mother and concubine smiled at him like this.
