Vol 5 Chapter 243: The truth (3)

"No matter how much heirs and heirs are not prosperous, how can he not like the grown-up children, even if they are prostitutes and lively in front of them?" The Empress Dowager said lightly, "Sejong does not lack heirs, but At that time he was getting older..."
She looked down at the old age spots on the back of her hand and laughed at herself, "You are still too young, you don't understand. After a person reaches his old age, many ideas will be very different from those when he was young. Sejong spent a long time in his old age. Without a prince, let the emperor heirs attack each other, do you think he really loves too many princes to make a decision? No, it is also because he is old and unable to do so, afraid that he can't control those plump wings, Ambitious and young sons! So at this time, the Qu family is pregnant. For Sejong, who is being pushed by the prince and courtiers step by step, it is like a treasure!"
After all, under the ancestral precepts that there is a parent without a parent, even if Sejong is old, the prince from the new queen is still in the infant. I don’t know whether it’s virtuous, or even know whether it can survive the premature stage. Big, but in the scene, it also gave Sejong a reason to wrestle.
Continue to postpone the Prince Ceremony.
Therefore, even if the Qu family was not favored at first, after he became pregnant and confirmed that he was a male heir, he immediately became a queen!
The truth is annihilated in the years. The status of the palace maidens was too low, and only the Dao Qu family was favored... In fact, she did not become a queen because she was favored, but because she became a successor because she met Sejong's needs at the time, she got the scene. Favorite!
Maybe it's not that Sejong doesn't like her. After all, which man would hate young and beautiful women who greet him everywhere?
But they may not like it to the point where it is set up for love.
"The Aijia synthesized these news at that time and came to a conclusion." The Empress Dowager said lightly, "The Aijia thought that he and Shenzong Xiandi frequently met before marriage, and they were quite destined, so when they came out of the pavilion, although it was not that they did not marry other people. The chance of the favored prince and grandson still entangled the consent of the elders and chose him... But in fact, it is possible that the first emperor always encountered the Aijia by chance at the time because it was because of the low servants of the Qu family."
"It's just that Qu's stepmother has always suppressed her, even if she knows that she is in love with the first emperor, she will never let her have the chance to be a princess."
This is the sorrow of the girl whose biological mother died prematurely without her father and other elders in the clan. Qu's marriage was completely in the hands of her stepmother, who would abuse her at will, or the family and the elders would not agree with her.
But if the stepmother does not want her to marry high, or does not want her to marry someone she likes, there are simply too many reasons to object.
"Qu clan is also very ambitious, so on the one hand, she stabilized the first emperor, but also swayed the first emperor's tactics. On the grounds of admiring the Ae family, Tong Ji asked to marry the Ae family; on the one hand, she followed the stepmother's suppression and entered the palace... It's just that there are so many talents in the palace. With her talent and appearance, it is acceptable to occupy a place. If you want to get ahead, especially if you want to laugh to the end, it is extremely difficult!"
"But they know what Sejong was up to at the time... At that time, no emperor heir had been born under Sejong's knee for five consecutive years. He was really old."
"At this time, there is an old man, even if Sejong does not consider the political situation, he must be very happy."
However, Sejong has not allowed his concubine to become pregnant for five consecutive years.
In this case, the Qu family wants a child, so what should a good mother do?
Of course, it was thought by the Empress Dowager that the Emperor Shenzong had an affair with her.
If the empress dowager doesn't know anything, it means she was left out of the cold by her husband first, and she was accused of all kinds of blame for nothing, and she felt sorry for her husband. After that, once Queen Qu plans to achieve success, take the youngest son to the throne, enter the Qingci Palace, and there will be no obstacles to the Shenzong, then, what good results can the Empress Dowager have?
But the Empress Dowager knows that as the daughter of Ji's careful cultivation, she is naturally not a soft persimmon.
Therefore, the loser is Queen Qu instead.
Thinking of what those elderly palace people said, Shenzong hated Queen Qu very much, and even because she failed to compete with Queen Qu for a civet cat, he ordered that cats not be allowed in Shanyuan View... Yun Fenghuang probably understood the ins and outs: "The emperor's grandmother is the king of Shenzong. The matter of the extinction of the first emperor was planted on Queen Qu. Therefore, the two of them have turned against each other and become enemies?"
Queen Qu would definitely explain it when it was such a big age, but it was precisely because this matter was too big!
Emperor Shenzong may not be able to listen to her explanation.
I can't say that this is Queen Qu's cruel heart, the city is deep, and a wall of sweet words coaxes him to borrow a seed, and a wall of action prevents him from having other heirs, so I can only help them wholeheartedly!
but……
She hesitated, and looked at the empress dowager who was silent: "If Sejong’s youngest so-called prince is really the blood of Shenzong, no matter how angry Shenzong hates Queen Qu, how can he even have his only bone and blood? Killing?"
Did Shenzong hate Queen Qu to such a point that he didn't even care about her own flesh and blood?
auzw.com Yun Fenghuang asked cautiously: "Grandma, could it be... the truth is not like this?"
"...Of course the truth is not like this!" The empress dowager gradually poured out crystal tears in her eyes, slightly choked up, "The first emperor never liked the servants of the Qu family, and even, he hated the servants of the Qu family very much from the beginning. !"
"Then why does he want to meet Queen Qu privately? He has also met many times?" Yun Fenghuang asked inexplicably.
The empress dowager shed tears and said: "Yeah, the Lai family feels the same way... If it weren't for personal affair, how can anyone who is a stepson in this world frequently meets with a young and beautiful stepmother? The wife of the hair! Even, because of the slight suspicion of the wife of the hair, the wife was sent to Zhuangzi without any explanation?!"
She wiped the lower part slowly, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the first emperor?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang shook her head, she sighed, "It's been too long. It's not surprising that you are not of a high background. The Aijia will tell you that the first emperor’s birth mother was born in a humble family, and she was a lucky concubine. After he was born, his biological mother was promoted, but the position was not high, so he was the master of the biological mother, raised by Chen Zhaoyi during Sejong's time. But Chen Zhaoyi himself has three sons and two daughters, all of their own blood, and several others. The heirs of the people in the palace have a total of seven or eight children raised in front of them, but how can they be taken care of?"
"In all fairness, Chen Zhaoyi didn't specifically criticize the first emperor."
"It's just that her mannerism is far from yours, and she didn't take care of every child under her knees, regardless of her concubine."
"But this was only when Emperor Xian was a child."
"After the age of ten, the prince moved out of the harem and lived in Qiongjiu Palace. This was the beginning of the first emperor's ups and downs."
"Sejong has many heirs. The first emperor ranks in the middle, not high. There is no sense of existence in front of Sejong. His birth mother is humble and can't speak at all. His adoptive mother's mind is not on him. After he entered Qiongjiu Palace, a group of half-old children, none Properly, get along for a long time, there must be conflict...Although the first emperor tried his best to avoid it, he really suffered several losses."
"After suffering a loss, other people are loved by Sejong, comforted by their mother and concubine, and even brothers and sisters from the same mother are distressed and help, but he has nothing."
The Empress Dowager whispered, "The first emperor who grew up in such an environment, do you think he wants to find someone to discuss and help when he meets something?"
Of course not, because Shenzong has become accustomed to solving everything by himself, in other words, he is accustomed to having trouble and can only do it himself.
"What's more, Ai Jia is still the concubine he wants to marry and has the courage to marry!" The empress dowager burst into tears, and she wanted to wipe her face before she left the handrail, shivering uncontrollably.
Her lips were also trembling and almost speechless. For a while, she did something similar to Yun Fenghuang's a long while ago-she slammed her hand into her mouth and bit her mouth, forcing herself to calm down.
"It's a pity that the Ai family was young and vigorous back then, so I couldn't think of so much!!!"
"In the past few decades, Ai Jia often wakes up in the middle of the night, recalling past events, and asking himself if the Ai Jia was more mature and considerate at that time, even if it is, trust him more..."
The empress dowager raised her sleeves and covered her mouth, and was so excited that she couldn't speak again.
Yun Fenghuang quickly poured her a cup of tea and waited on the emperor's grandmother to drink it.
"Through the seed to give birth to children, after this seal, wait for the opportunity to rise... These are all true, but the instigator is the cheap servant of the Qu family." The empress dowager drank some hot tea, finally took a breath, and pushed with a sorrowful smile. Kaiyun Fenghuang's hand, said, "There are even Ji and Shu Wang's couple, but the first emperor... he did not participate, in fact, from the beginning to the end, he was a victim."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang’s gaze wishing to hear the details, she took a few breaths and continued,
Sejong hasn’t had anything to do for several years. After the Qu family entered the palace, he couldn’t do so alone, so she was pregnant with confidence, and Also win a man in one fell swoop? Under their conspiracy, they felt that they could only borrow seeds. However, considering that the emperor heirs grew up, if the bloodline of the emperor grew up, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, the borrowing seeds can only be borrowed from members of the royal family."
At first their choice was King Shu, after all, this was one of the conspiracy, the most concealed and safe.
The problem is that Princess Shu is not very happy.
In addition, the Qu family was unwilling, so the Qu family teamed up with Princess Shu to propose the candidate of Shenzong.
"Since the Emperor Shenzong is unhappy, why would the Qu family do this?" Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but said, "For such a big thing, you can know the attitude of the first emperor Shenzong with a little trial or two? The Qu family is not afraid. Emperor Shenzong stabs the matter out, leaving them dead without a place to be buried?"
The Empress Dowager said with a dumb voice: "When I was young, the Ai family couldn't figure it out, so for the first few years after the first emperor left, the Ai family suspected that the first emperor might choose the Ai family in the end, but she might not be merciless to the Qu family. Otherwise, Qu. Shi rejected King Shu, what would he do to give birth to his blood to impersonate the son of Sejong?"
"It was only later that I gradually understood that the Qu family did this not for the first emperor, but to mourn the family!"
