EBE Chapter 120 Fu Cha Lang Ya 120
Chapter 120 Fu Cha Lang Ya 120
"King Bahrain, your daughter is very ambitious!"
Hongli's indifferent words made King Bahrain break out in a cold sweat.
Which Mongolian tribe did not want to restore its former glory? At that time, Mongolian women entered the palace with the halo of high status, and Khorchin even had three queens.
How glorious they were back then, unlike now, where the imperial power has become increasingly powerful over them.
During the reign of the previous emperor, there was not a single Mongolian concubine in the harem.
Now that the emperor is willing to let Mongolian concubines raise the prince, this is a very good signal.
All the tribes were ready to take action, and King Bahrain would naturally not let them go.
But they also understood that such thoughts must not be known to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext. I only occasionally chat with Ke Chang about my former Mongolian concubines. I have absolutely no other intentions."
Seeing Hongli making things difficult for King Bahrain, Concubine Ying began to explain in a distraught manner, and her face no longer had the usual glow.
In her heart, King Bahrain has always been omnipotent. When has he ever been like this, kneeling here trembling in fear, worrying about being blamed for anything he says.
Her past pride still made her hold on to a glimmer of hope that as long as she bowed her head, the emperor would definitely forgive her.
"Yes, I'm afraid the Queen has misunderstood. The loyalty of the Balin tribe to the Emperor is evident to all."
They kept repeating the same thing over and over again, and Hongli was no longer willing to listen to their explanations.
"Noble Lady Ying was arrogant and disrespectful to the Empress, secretly instigating others to harm the Second Princess. She is demoted to a concubine and imprisoned in Jingren Palace. Consort Ke is also guilty of the same crime and is also demoted and imprisoned."
"I acknowledge my mistake and thank the Emperor for his grace."
When Ke Chang heard that he would not die, he quickly knelt down to express his gratitude, not even bothering to pay attention to Ying Guiren's disgusted look.
They used the forty-nine Mongolian tribes to threaten the emperor all day long, and the fact that they are still alive today is considered a special favor from the emperor.
But Meiruo obviously didn't think so. She turned her gaze to King Bahrain expectantly.
I hope Abu can make the decision for me.
Time passed minute by minute, and the scene was eerily quiet. Hongli was not in a hurry. He silently calculated the time in his mind and waited for the decision of King Bahrain.
After a long time.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"
King Bahrain's voice was extremely heavy, and he did not dare to look up at his daughter.
He knew that from this moment on, his beloved daughter was ruined and would be confined to Jingren Palace for the rest of her life.
Not only that, she also angered the queen and the imperial concubine, and it was useless even if the tribe tried their best to deal with her.
She could no longer fight for any interests on behalf of the Bahraini Ministry.
Even though he felt sad, he still made the choice.
"Father! Don't you care about your daughter anymore? Didn't you say that she is the apple of your eye and that you will always make the decision for me?"
"Father! I am your only daughter!"
Meiruo's eyes widened as she looked at King Bahrain in panic, unable to believe her ears.
"Be obedient and reflect on your mistakes in Jingren Palace!"
"Father!"
Before she could continue speaking, someone came up and took her and Ke Ying away.
King Bahrain hesitated for a moment, and finally looked back. This was the last time he saw his daughter.
Hongli nodded slightly, very satisfied with King Balin's understanding. He had originally wanted to change someone else to take charge of the Balin tribe, but now it seems that there is no need for that.
“Now that Ying’s promise has been resolved, let’s talk about King Bahrain’s good grandson!”
"I know everything behind this, and I hope King Bahrain can give me a satisfactory explanation."
King Bahrain finally retreated trembling. He thought that what he had done was secretive enough, but he didn't expect that everything was under someone else's nose.
His grandson, who was beaten half to death, was also sent back.
He has many sons and even more grandsons. The only difference is that this one is the eldest grandson born from the legitimate wife.
At this time, he wished that his grandson would die outside, rather than let himself fall into this dilemma.
This matter was not just a trouble for the Balin tribe. Meiruo was shouting about the forty-nine Mongolian tribes in the palace every day, as if the whole of Mongolia was standing behind her.
As soon as the news got out, the leaders of various tribes came to Hongli to confess their crimes and express their loyalty.
Powerful tribes such as Khorchin and Khalkha put pressure on King Balin.
She criticized him for how he educated his daughter, who angered the emperor not long after entering the palace, and put the blame on the entire Mongolian state.
Many tribal leaders are of royal blood, so they don't need it at all, nor do they expect that a small noble lady like Ying can bring their tribe closer to the royal family.
It doesn't make sense that when there are benefits, Bahrain only enjoys them, but when there are responsibilities, everyone shoulders them together. This is unacceptable in any way.
Not long after, the King of Bahrain submitted a memorial, requesting that his second son be made the crown prince on the grounds that the crown prince was in poor health.
The biological mother of this second son was the concubine of King Bahrain, and he had always been at odds with his wife.
Her daughter was imprisoned and her eldest son was deposed. This legitimate wife who suppressed all the concubines into obscurity was destined to have a bad life.
The King of Bahrain also selected two other noble ladies from his clan to present to the emperor.
Perhaps as a warning, or simply out of bad taste, Hongli still conferred the titles of Ying Guiren and Ke Changzai on these two noble ladies.
The two lived in Zhongcui Palace and Chuxiu Palace respectively.
After successfully showing off his "muscles", Hongli also had time to have fun with his concubines.
Wei Yanwan has been favored since she came to power. Knowing that she was not good at riding and shooting, Hongli personally taught her.
An autumn siege allowed her to be successfully promoted to Lingpin.
The King of Bahrain's handling of the matter seemed satisfactory, but it also left a huge hidden danger within.
His second son did not have much advantage in terms of status, and he also had many brothers.
In the short term, the King of Bahrain will be caught in the struggle for power and unable to escape.
This result made Gao Xiyue satisfied. After this incident, she also realized that Jingluo had really grown up.
She couldn't help but become worried again, and Langya kept trying to persuade her.
"Why worry about these things? Parents only bring their children into this world. When they grow up, they have to walk their own path in the future."
"It's no use worrying about it."
Gao Xiyue looked at the indifferent Langya, then at the calm Chen Wanyin, wondering if she was really overthinking it.
"Empress, Jingxi said she wants to marry to Mongolia. Why don't you try to persuade her? She's so young, what does she know?"
Jingxi came over excitedly with a homemade pistol to announce the good news. As soon as he came in, he heard Gao Xiyue's worried persuasion.
She lowered her head and sighed helplessly.
After stepping forward and bowing, he snuggled into Gao Xiyue's arms.
Since childhood, apart from the Empress Dowager, Empress Hui loved him the most, and Jingxi remembered all of this.
"Empress Hui, this is a responsibility I cannot evade, but... I really like it here. It's very free, and most importantly, everything is based on strength."
"Don't you, Madam Hui, believe in my strength?"
"Of course I believe it. Our Jingxi is the most outstanding princess."
Jingxi is already eleven years old, and she has already made plans for her future.
Langya discussed this issue with her very formally, but seeing that she was determined, she did not try to persuade her further.
As a mother, all Langya can do at this time is to give her the greatest support.
Chen Wanyin's calmness is more of helplessness, because she is destined to be unable to fight, and can only try not to let her anxiety affect her daughter.
Don't let her expectations for the future be filled with fear.
"Queen Mother, look, my daughter made this."
Jingxi's loud voice broke Gao Xiyue's sadness. She didn't like such a heavy atmosphere.
Langya cooperated and exclaimed, "It's so amazing, bring it to me and show it to mother!"
She has always been paying attention to her daughter's learning progress and has made many renovations to the laboratory along the way.
I don't know when it started, but she put all her energy into weapons. During this period, many things had matured and were easier to put into practice.
Gao Xiyue and Chen Wanyin also looked over curiously, holding it in their hands and playing with it.
They have gained more experience over the years and can tell at a glance that this thing is more convenient than a musket.
Gently stroking the twined flower pattern on the gun, Gao Xiyue asked in confusion.
"This thing looks so exquisite. It's obviously a weapon of great destructive power. How did it become so beautiful?"
Jingxi looked at Langya with sparkling eyes, "This is my first finished product. I wanted to make it look nice and give it to the Empress Dowager."
She prepared carefully for a long time and asked Jingyu to help her think of many beautiful ideas.
It had to be both beautiful and practical, and I don't know how much material was wasted during the process.
Even though he knew Langya might never use this thing in her life, Jingxi still wanted to do his best.
"Give it to me?"
"It's really beautiful and lightweight. My dear, you must have put a lot of effort into it. Come and see if your hands are rough. Have you applied the medicine I gave you properly?"
When Langya heard that this was a gift for her, she changed her previous casual attitude and sat up straight.
He hugged Jingxi and kissed her many times.
"Mother, I applied the medicine well. You must be mistaken. Isn't it still white and tender?"
Such an exaggerated performance made Jingxi giggle, and she didn't avoid the slight itch on her face.
Chen Wanyin is fine. She and Jingyu have a very close relationship and are never stingy in expressing their concern for each other, which makes Gao Xiyue jealous.
Her daughter's preferences were completely different from hers, and the warmth between them could only last for a short while.
Xianfu Palace has been in chaos in recent years.
Now there are two such evil stars. Gao Xiyue often wonders why this is happening!
In the evening, the mother and daughter continued to argue about this issue.
Jingluo had already learned about her mother's attitude from her sister, and used all her eloquence to try to persuade Gao Xiyue not to worry so much.
"Mother, I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, not to be trapped in the backyard."
"As you can see, this land is vast, and there's an even greater world beyond. I want to go see it and use my abilities to protect this territory for my father."
If Jing Luo wasn't worried about scaring Gao Xiyue, she would have wanted to tell her directly.
Her dream is to go out through this land and become the master of her own destiny.
There will come a day when no one can restrain themselves at will.
Neither the father nor the future prince consort can do that.
"Jingluo, there are people who will take care of these things. You are a princess, a precious creature, how can you have such thoughts?"
Gao Xiyue hugged her daughter nervously, feeling indescribable panic in her heart.
Jing Luo broke free from Gao Xiyue's arms and looked at her seriously.
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore. I know what I want to do."
"We've already agreed that in a few years, my eldest sister will marry over there to stabilize the situation. It won't be long before I can lead the cavalry out there."
"what are you saying!"
Gao Xiyue was burned by the ambition in Jingluo's eyes. She stood up nervously and looked outside, the pearl tassels in her hair trembling constantly.
The pillow beside him was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.
Xing Xuan suppressed the shock in her heart and went forward to help Gao Xiyue sit down.
"Master, don't worry. Shuangxi and Sister Moxin are guarding outside. No one will get close."
Gao Xiyue touched her chest and nodded, as if this could calm her pounding heart.
Seeing that her emotions had stabilized a lot, Jing Luo knelt down and leaned on Gao Xiyue's knees, covering the back of her trembling hand with her small palm.
She looked up and begged, "Mother, please help your daughter!"
Gao Xiyue screamed in a low voice, as if she was meeting her daughter for the first time.
"What do you want to do? What do you want me to help you with? Jingluo, Yonglian is a very good brother. Your father will not allow you to have any other intentions. Even if Yonglian succeeds to the throne in the future, he will not allow it either."
"Your Royal Mother is so kind to me and has been protecting me since I entered the palace. How am I going to face her in the future?"
Gao Xiyue became sadder and sadder as she spoke. She was so immersed in her own world that she couldn't hear anyone else's explanation.
Jing Luo tilted her head in confusion and frantically wiped away Gao Xiyue's tears.
She just wanted her mother and grandfather to help her choose a husband who was easy to control. What did it have to do with the Empress Dowager?
She admitted that there were some small calculations here, but what did it have to do with her eldest brother?
Why are you crying like this for no reason?
"Jingluo, one can't do anything to gain power!"
"Think about it, when you were kids, you and Yong Zhang had fights, and it was Yong Lian who cleaned up the mess every time. We can't..."
The more Jing Luo listened, the more confused she became, and she couldn't help but interrupt Gao Xiyue's crying loudly.
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
Thinking of the box of notebooks, Jing Luo looked at Xing Xuan with a frown.
"Aunt Xingxuan, what weird book has my mother been reading lately?"
Xing Xuan was also stunned when he heard this. He kept patting his back and quickly recalled the plot in his mind.
He replied in a low voice, "The oppressed princess endured humiliation and humiliation, killed her father and all her brothers in one day, and successfully became the empress..."
Case solved!
"Mother!! What are you thinking? I don't want to deal with Big Brother..."
Jingluo just wanted to grab her mother's shoulders and shake her hard to wake her up. What did she think of her? She had never suffered any injustice.
Gao Xiyue looked up at her daughter with tears in her eyes, and saw that her face was full of seriousness and she didn't seem to be fooling her.
My mood slowly calmed down.
She wiped her tears awkwardly and said, "Mother misunderstood you. Mother apologizes to you."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Even though I'm not smart, your grandfather is very smart. Just tell me."
As long as she doesn't go against the Queen, Gao Xiyue believes that she still has a lot of power behind her.
