Chapter 145
Hong Wanqing doesn't know much about the changes in the officialdom, but the case of Gejue was so big some time ago that Hong Wanqing couldn't even hear it. Hong Wanqing asked: "Mother, are there two titles in the Zhang family, are they really deprived like this?"
"Otherwise?" The character of Yongping Houfu hurt him, and he couldn't help sighing, "When I saw Zhang's family in Shangyuan Festival, they were still beautiful, but in a blink of an eye, they fell down."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Yongping Hou was also angry and said: "They are really, wealth and power are not enough, they actually filthy palace maids in the palace. Can the women in the palace be touched by outsiders? This is still the Queen Mother Zhang. Well, the emperor remembered the grace of welcoming Li back then, so he was embarrassed to kill them all. When the queen mother dies in the future, I may not know how the emperor will turn the old account."
Hong Wanqing was very surprised: "They have already been dethroned and demoted, and this matter is not over yet?"
Mrs. Yongping Hou sneered, it was about the emperor, she did not dare to speak rashly, but her tone undoubtedly expressed the thoughts of Mrs. Yongping Hou. When the emperor and Empress Dowager Jiang first came to the capital, Empress Dowager Zhang relied on her two dynasties as the empress and gave Empress Dowager Jiang a lot of looks. With the emperor's cautious and vengeful character, can he let the Zhang family go?
Dream it. I'm afraid Empress Dowager Zhang didn't believe it herself, so she couldn't get sick. I heard that even people have disappeared these days.
The Marquis of Yongping was very embarrassed. During the Hongzhi period, Empress Zhang was the only favorite in the harem. No ordinary man in the world could have a couple for the rest of his life, but Emperor Hongzhi could not accept a concubine and guarded Empress Zhang all his life. I don't know how many women envied Queen Zhang's good life back then. Later, when Queen Zhang's son succeeded to the throne, everyone felt that Empress Zhang would never have ups and downs in her life. Looking at the experience of Empress Dowager Zhang, she was simply lucky and blessed, and she was born with good fortune. Who would have known that the world actually made a huge joke with everyone.
The first half of Empress Dowager Zhang's life was successful, but the evening scene was extremely desolate. It is said that Zhang Yanling was able to save her life, all because the Empress Dowager Zhang knelt outside the Qianqing Palace that day, crying and begging the emperor for mercy. Mrs. Yongping Hou was worried just thinking about the scene. Anyway, she couldn't accept it at all. She took back a child from a side branch to inherit the family business, but many years later she had to kneel down in public and beg the other party.
If there is such a day, it is better to let her die early.
Hong Wanqing did not feel as deeply as her mother. When she heard what happened in the palace, she just listened to the story, and didn't think this kind of thing would happen to her. Teenagers and girls always have a higher heart than the sky, and they should feel that they are different, ordinary people are mediocre and suffering, but they are by no means ordinary. In contrast, Hong Wanqing is more concerned about the haunted rumors that are catching the wind.
Hong Wanqing lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Mother, I heard that the maids of Ciqing Palace heard the female ghost cry for several nights. Is this true?"
Mrs. Yongping Hou was noncommittal. She also quietly asked her husband about this matter, and he asked her not to inquire about court affairs, but Mrs. Yongping Hou felt that it was somewhat related.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, there were rumors that there was a ghost in the palace, Lu Heng entered the palace to investigate, and it didn't take long before he suddenly had to re-investigate the old case of He Ding 30 years ago, thus uncovering the matter of Zhang Yanling's filthy palace maid. When the Zhang family was sent back, the Empress Dowager Zhang stopped shouting and haunting, and the crying in the East Palace disappeared. If it was said that it had nothing to do with it, Mrs. Yongping Hou would not believe it anyway.
Mrs. Yongping Hou looked at her daughter's fearful and curious eyes, did not elaborate, and said roughly: "Don't inquire about these strange and chaotic things. The most important thing in the daughter's family is virtuousness and virtue, husband and child, and should not be touched. "
Hong Wanqing's face flushed with embarrassment when she heard it, and she quickly responded with shame. Mrs. Yongping Hou thought that her daughter was about to get married and she would be the daughter-in-law of someone else's family. She could not help but slow down her tone and said, "Mother is not blaming you, but I am afraid that you will suffer in your husband's family in the future. It's fine for you to say anything in front of your mother. , but in the future, when facing the Marquis of Zhenyuan, you can't be so open-minded. Outside the male lead, the female lead, the court affairs are not something women should worry about. What you need to do is to be filial to your mother-in-law, manage your concubine, and if you can give birth to a son quickly better."
Hong Wanqing blushed when she heard the words of giving birth to a son, and responded as finely as a mosquito. Mrs. Yongping Hou took advantage of the situation and instilled Hong Wanqing with the secret of managing concubines. Hong Wanqing heard this from a young age, and she was not surprised for a long time, and her mind slowly flew to another name.
Lu Heng. In such a short time, my mother has mentioned this name several times.
Hong Wanqing had something in her heart. When Mrs. Yongping Hou said that she was tired and moisturizing her mouth, she casually mentioned: "Mother, doesn't Lu Heng also have a wife?"
Mrs. Yongping Hou took a sip of tea, and replied indifferently: "Well. He is also strange, it is too late for Zhenyuan Hou to not get married at the age of 21. He is two years older than Zhenyuan Hou, and he has never been married. "
Hong Wanqing asked, "Why?"
Mrs. Yongping Hou raised her eyebrows with a delicate expression. There are many speculations in private in the capital, such as good masculinity, poor health, and eccentricities between the two. But how could these words be put forward in front of the girl, Mrs. Yongping Hou refused to talk about it in detail, and said perfunctorily: "Who knows, maybe he has other arrangements."
Hong Wanqing snorted and lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Mrs. Yongping Hou did not pay attention to her daughter's abnormality. She said with emotion: "Aside from the fact that he has no wife and no children, he is also a genius. The day we went to visit the Empress Dowager Jiang, we bumped into him entering the palace, and he should have been at that time. He was officially ordered to investigate. As a result, after only two or three days, the rumors of haunting stopped, and no one hit the ghost in the palace after that. He was so good at trying to figure out what he liked. I handed over the old case of the Zhang family, I am afraid that the roundworms in the emperor's stomach don't even understand the emperor's intentions. He was just promoted at the beginning of the year, and when he accumulates qualifications, I am afraid he will be promoted again. "
