Not long after the marriage of Princess Chaogui was discussed, something unexpected happened in the previous dynasty.

"I heard that the Tenth Prince knocked out Zhang Lin, the censor who reported him?" Everyone gathered in the Yikun Palace, and Concubine Xiang asked the first question.

Concubine Hua was indifferent to the matter and said, "Zuo is just a censor, so just beat him up."

An Lingrong despairs about Concubine Hua's political sensitivity: "At present, all the censors and civil officials in the court have written to demand severe punishment for Prince Dun in order to restore the laws and discipline of the court. But Prince Dun has just returned from visiting the troops, and has been claiming illness and not attending court for the past two days. He also refuses to admit his mistakes. The Emperor is in a difficult situation right now. I heard that Prince Dun and General Nian had some friendship in the past, and I don't know if they still keep in touch often." The focus is on the latter!

An Lingrong remembered that when Prince Dun rebelled in the previous life, Nian Gengyao was involved.

Although Hongchang is around in this life, Nian Gengyao should not get involved in Prince Dun's rebellion again, but who knows if he will do something impulsive just for the sake of his personal relationship with Prince Dun?

Speaking of her brother, Concubine Hua was a little uncertain: "That shouldn't be the case, right? Otherwise, I'll write a letter to persuade my brother not to get involved in Prince Dun's affairs? Madam Kong, has there been any news from the mansion recently?"

This matter concerned state affairs, and neither Cao Qinmo nor An Lingrong really understood it, and they had no good ideas to offer. Several people looked eagerly at Madam Kong, hoping that she could bring good news.

Madam Kong was also under a lot of pressure. "The palace only told us not to get involved in this matter. They didn't mention anything else. I guess the master and his family have their own ideas. But there's another matter. You asked the palace to help investigate Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince in the Old Summer Palace. We have news on this matter."

If the Nian family didn't mention this, An Lingrong would have almost forgotten about the mother and son hiding in the Old Summer Palace. Their presence was actually lower than that of Concubine Duan before. Concubine Duan would come out from time to time in the early days, but these mother and son were nowhere to be seen.

Concubine Hua also became excited. This was about her son's rival: "What do you think? Are Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince really in poor health, or are they hiding evil?"

Madam Kong listed the information she had found out in the mansion one by one: "In fact, Concubine Yu only stayed away when the emperor took the concubines to the Old Summer Palace. In fact, she wandered around the Old Summer Palace from place to place on weekdays and went everywhere. People who went to investigate said that she didn't look sick. As for the Fifth Prince, although he is younger than the Third Prince, he has already read the "Spring and Autumn Annals". His reading progress is much ahead of the Third Prince, and he doesn't look like a naughty child at all."

What else don’t you understand about this?

The mother and son in the Old Summer Palace are also hiding their strength and biding their time!

Concubine Hua was so angry that she slammed the table. "Great! This Yupin is indeed a traitor. I am so depressed in the palace that I can't go anywhere. I am almost lying down. Hongchang took secret medicine at a young age and looks pale and thin. But they can live so freely in the Old Summer Palace! It's simply absurd!"

Cao Qinmo was also very dissatisfied. She was threatened by Zhen Huan in disguise to marry Wen Yi off as a concubine. Why could other people's children live so freely?

An Lingrong was also very angry. They were almost fighting each other to death in the palace, but Concubine Yu was able to win in the Old Summer Palace until the end!

Who would be happy with this?

Xiangpin then suggested that when they went to the Old Summer Palace next year, they should find a way to bring Yupin and the Fifth Prince into the palace.

At that time, with a prince who is younger than the Third Prince but a hundred times better than him standing in front of her, others may not be able to say anything, but Concubine Qi will definitely not be able to sit still.

An Lingrong thought of the plot of her previous life. If Prince Dun still rebelled, would they be able to take advantage of the situation?

Then just wait.

Since she had an idea in her mind, when the emperor asked An Lingrong about Prince Dun's matter, she pretended not to understand and fooled him.

In the end, the emperor still used Zhen Huan's idea.

Why did An Lingrong say that it was Zhen Huan's idea?

Because the emperor used the same method as in the previous life, he conferred the title of Heshuo Princess on the legitimate daughter of Prince Dun, Princess Qingcheng, and the title of Gongding; and conferred the title of Beizi on the son of Prince Dun, Hongxuan. After the conferment, Princess Gongding was also brought into the palace to be raised by the Empress Dowager, which was a kind of blackmail to Prince Dun, forcing him to go to apologize to Zhang Lin.

Although An Lingrong does not understand state affairs, she understands human nature.

Prince Dun loves his wife and the son and daughter she gave birth to. When you encountered something, instead of trying to comfort her with kind words, you took her most beloved daughter to the palace as a hostage. With Prince Dun's temper, even if he endured it on the surface, he would not accept it in his heart.

really--

Not long after, Prince Dun wrote another letter requesting that his mother, Consort Wenxi, be given the title of Noble Dowager Consort and be reburied in the tomb of the previous emperor's concubines.

Doesn't this pose a problem for the emperor? Concubine Wenxi had caused a scandal in her early years, and the late emperor did not allow her to enter the concubine's tomb.

Considering that it was Zhen Huan who gave him the idea last time, the Emperor called Zhen Huan over again to ask for advice.

The emperor smiled bitterly, "Prince Dun and his in-laws still have many soldiers under their command. I just regret that Nian Gengyao is no longer useful, and Yue Zhongqi is fighting outside with Nian Fu. If I fight with Yun?? at this time, I really don't have a complete guarantee of winning."

Zhen Huan hurriedly used historical examples to illustrate current events and said a lot of words to persuade the emperor to be patient.

Although I don't like to hear the emperor mention Nian Gengyao at this moment, if Nian Gengyao can still lead troops to fight, I'm afraid he can really help the emperor at this time.

Fearing that the Emperor would remember Concubine Hua's kindness because of Nian Gengyao, Zhen Huan quickly came up with another plan. She suggested that the posthumous title of Noble Dowager Concubine Wenxi be made into a pork award, and have the Emperor confer the title on all the living concubines and imperial concubines in the harem.

While busy with official business, Zhen Huan did not forget to give benefits to her lickspittle, Prince Guo. She asked the emperor to give Concubine Shu a favor as well. The emperor then remotely appointed Concubine Shu as Master Chongjing Yuanshi.

If you want to posthumously confer titles on the Queen Mother's former rivals, you have to inform her first.

The emperor then ran to Shoukang Palace to ask the empress dowager for her opinion.

It was said to be an inquiry, but in fact it was a notification. Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, could the empress dowager persuade the emperor not to confer titles on her former rivals and love rivals?

In front of the emperor, the empress dowager was extremely generous.

She repeatedly expressed her understanding, saying that the emperor has his own difficulties. You are my son, and you are in trouble now. How could I care about such a small matter and make things difficult for you?

The emperor sighed again and said that if Nian Gengyao could still lead the troops to fight, he would not sit idly by and watch the emperor's embarrassment, given that Concubine Hua now had Hongchang.

The Queen Mother advised the Emperor: "It's fate. Who would have thought that such a brave and skilled warrior like Nian Gengyao would become disabled while pacifying the northwest? Fortunately, Nian Fu is also useful. In time, he may become a powerful general of the Qing Dynasty."

The emperor was completely persuaded by the empress dowager, and he happily went back to the Yangxin Palace to write the imperial edict. However, when the empress dowager saw the emperor leave, her face completely fell.
