Chapter 550: Concubine De's plan, abandoned child Fu Qingrong
Concubine De had gone to the Taiji Hall earlier and happened to see the Zuo Xiang family coming out, looking ghastly. Fu Qingrong and Dong Daiying looked the ugliest, as if someone in their family had died.
No, it should be said that it is uglier than when someone dies in the family!
When she saw Dong Daiying appear in the palace before, she was surprised. The third son of the Fu family was holding a funeral, so why did she come to the palace?
At that time, her face was cold, as if she was looking for someone to settle a score. But her expression at that time was much more proud than it is now!
The spy who had been left in the Taiji Palace secretly sent a message saying that the emperor was furious and reprimanded the left prime minister for indulging his wife excessively and not educating his children properly.
At the same time, he ordered the Left Prime Minister to discipline his wife and children after returning home. If any bad news came from the Prime Minister's Mansion again, the Left Prime Minister could prepare to retire and return home!
This reprimand was a direct warning from the position of Left Prime Minister! For Fu Ying, this was the most severe reprimand and humiliation he had ever received since he became an official.
And all these humiliations were brought by his wife and children!
It is conceivable how ugly Fu Ying's face was after leaving the Taiji Hall.
After several people paid their respects to Concubine De, Fu Ying wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, Concubine De spoke, which made his already ugly face even worse.
“A virtuous wife brings prosperity to the family, while an evil wife brings decline to the family.”
"Left Prime Minister, although you are exhausted by the paperwork, the glory of the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot be protected by you alone."
"I don't expect your Prime Minister's Mansion to be able to provide much help to Prince Jin, but I hope your Mansion will stop holding Prince Jin back! Otherwise, I can replace you with someone else to take the position of Prince Jin's Consort!"
Fu Qingrong was incredulous after hearing this, "Mother, you..."
"Shut up!!"
Fu Qingrong wanted to say something, but was scolded coldly by Fu Ying.
She had always been afraid of her father, but in the end she swallowed her resentment and dissatisfaction.
Concubine De glanced at Fu Qingrong, suppressed her displeasure, and said to Fu Ying, "Left Prime Minister, in your spare time, why don't you think carefully about what I said!"
Although Fu Ying looked grim, his shrewd eyes showed that he already understood what she meant.
She said nothing more, only saying: "There is still a funeral in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the Left Prime Minister should go back as soon as possible to take care of the guests at home!"
"After all, it always feels bad when guests come to pay their respects but there are no family members keeping vigil!"
Fu Ying felt that his dignity was being rubbed on the ground again, but he had no way to refute it, and finally could only leave with a gloomy face.
Dong Daiying didn't dare to speak the whole time, and just followed Fu Ying with a look of panic and despair on her face.
In the garden outside the Taiji Palace, Concubine De, with a sullen face, conveyed Baili Zizhan and Shu He's words to the Prince of Jin and his wife.
"Just to make fun of you, Lao Jiu actually took advantage of Zhan Er and even injured him. He's absolutely shameless!"
Concubine De cursed indignantly, then looked at Fu Qingrong with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Qingrong, didn't you say that your cousin truly loves Zhan'er? Why don't you explain to me where his sincerity lies!!"
Fu Qingrong clenched his fists, veins seemed to be throbbing on his temples, and his delicate eyebrows were filled with anger and hatred.
She could never have imagined that after all she had done for him, he would use her child like this! !
Baili Moyin looked at Fu Qingrong, and the disgust in his eyes deepened. He was about to say something when Concubine De gently stopped him.
"Qingrong, Zhan'er is the youngest grandson, the emperor's most beloved grandson. You heard it today too. The emperor himself said that Zhan'er will shoulder heavier 'responsibilities' in the future! You should understand what he meant, right?"
Fu Qingrong's expression shifted slightly; of course she understood. A hint of relief appeared on her face, which was filled with resentment.
"But Qingrong, do you think that if Lao Jiu continues to plot like this, will Zhan'er still be able to maintain his position in the emperor's heart?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, the relief on Fu Qingrong's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by worry.
De Fei continued, "Now, your aunt has become a noble concubine, and Lao Jiu is your father's nephew. Although your father and your aunt have different surnames, they are actually siblings!"
"Do you think your father will support your cousin or your husband in the future?"
Having said that, Concubine De stopped talking. She would let herself think about it. Only in this way could the fear in her heart be infinitely expanded!
"Mother, what do you want Qingrong to do?"
"It's not about what Mother wants you to do, but as Zhan'er's mother, if you find out that Zhan'er was schemed and injured, what will you do?!"
Fu Qingrong's face was filled with gloom, as if she was harboring infinite hatred, "Qingrong understands!"
Watching Fu Qingrong walking towards Jiang Yurao's palace, a smile of triumph appeared on Concubine De's solemn face.
Seeing this, Baili Moyin asked in confusion, "Old Nine plotted against Zhan'er, why didn't Mother let her go to Father to reason with him?"
Concubine De took Baili Moyin's hand and walked towards the pavilion in the garden.
"Yin'er, you don't understand the feelings of a mother!"
"Zhan'er is Fu Qingrong's beloved. Even though Zhan'er was plotted against and severely injured, the rage in her heart hasn't yet ignited."
"If she were to go to your father, she wouldn't be able to vent her anger under his pressure!"
"Only when she's around people she feels close to will the rage in her heart burn and be released beyond measure!"
When Jiang Yurao makes a big fuss, things will naturally be out of control. At that time, the damage to Lao Jiu will be maximized!
Baili Moyin understood.
If I tell my father about the plot against Zhan'er now, he will most likely take it lightly. But if I expose it at the Chunhua Imperial Banquet in front of all the officials, my father will not be able to make a big deal out of a small matter!
"But if she were to cause trouble for Old Nine and Concubine Ming, would that also implicate me, your son?"
Baili Moyin was a little worried. Would doing this be too risky?
Concubine De didn't answer his question, but said, "Dongbo Marquis Zheng Qin has returned to the capital after taking off his armor. He will also attend the Chunhua Imperial Banquet today."
Baili Moyin didn't understand what she meant again, "What does this have to do with Zheng Qin?"
The corners of De Fei's mouth curled slightly, and she smiled faintly: "Haven't you been disgusted with Fu Qingrong for a long time?"
"Zheng Qin has a daughter named Zheng Yu, who is eighteen years old, in the prime of her life. She has a gentle personality and a generous temperament. She is a rare and good woman."
Baili Moyin understood immediately, a look of surprise on his face, "Mother wants to...but as for the Left Prime Minister..."
Concubine De looked at the dignified and majestic face, and a trace of contempt appeared on her face. "Fu Ying has no future. His luck has been exhausted by Dong Daiying and his children!"
"Besides, he is Lao Jiu's uncle. I never believe that he would choose you and give up Lao Jiu!"
"Even if he wants to make this choice, Jiang Yurao won't let him do so!"
"At the beginning, Mother didn't want you to marry Fu Qingrong, but you insisted on trying. Now you feel better, right? Have you given up?"
Baili Moyin's face turned slightly red. This incident had indeed become his biggest failure.
However, he still felt like a failure after hearing what his mother said to him.
"Mother, where is Zhan'er?"
At this moment, a maidservant from Wende Palace came trotting over, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin!!"
