Chapter 384 Gu Jinxiao impeaches the Duke of Zhenguo
"Although all the empresses of the Great Zhou Dynasty came from the Zhenguogong Mansion or Dingguogong Mansion, if a prince marries the daughter of one family, the other family will never send their eldest daughter to him as a concubine for the sake of face."
"Unless that prince can ascend the throne, it will be another matter. After all, being the emperor's consort and being the prince's concubine are two different concepts."
"But back then, when His Majesty was still a prince, the Imperial Concubine did not hesitate to bear the ridicule of the entire capital and became his concubine as the eldest daughter of the Duke Dingguo's mansion."
"I don't know whether His Majesty was just doting on the Imperial Concubine or had real feelings for her at that time. But he did ignore all the wives and concubines in the mansion for a long time for the Imperial Concubine."
"Who in the capital wouldn't sigh, they are truly a pair of lovers!"
"The results of it?"
Shen Zhinian didn't need to say the rest, Nanny Lin and the others understood.
The result is that times change and favor fades.
Although people outside say that the Imperial Concubine is the most favored in the six palaces, but if she firmly grasps the true heart of His Majesty, would she be so worried about gains and losses and become a resentful woman in the deep palace?
I'm afraid only the imperial concubine herself understands the pain in her heart.
Shen Zhinian continued, "That relationship has changed. His Majesty is still surrounded by new people one after another. He can favor whoever he wants because he is the emperor. But Concubine Liu no longer has any way out."
At this point, Shen Zhinian sighed: "So, what capital do I have to make such a big bet with His Majesty?"
"If I can't keep my heart and fall in love with Your Majesty vigorously, I can indeed spend a very beautiful and sweet time. But what about one year, two years, three years, or ten years later?"
"I am afraid that I will become the second Concubine Liu, and a new 'Shen Zhinian' will appear beside His Majesty. At that time, how will I end up with a broken heart?"
Handan and Fuqiu looked at each other and became even more silent...
The two girls were at the age when love was beginning to blossom. Every day they saw how His Majesty favored the Empress, but the Empress was only playing along with His Majesty.
They had lamented in their hearts that the Queen's heart was too cold and hard, and even though His Majesty was so good to her, it still couldn't melt her heart.
I even... I even disrespectfully feel that Your Majesty is a little pitiful...
It was not until this moment that Handan and Fuqiu realized that the Queen was not cold-hearted, but was clear-headed enough.
If the queen loses herself in the favor of His Majesty, Concubine Liu's present is the queen's future...
Only by not showing true feelings to His Majesty can Your Majesty remain calm and easily grasp His Majesty's favor!
Shen Zhinian laughed mockingly: "Besides, do you think that His Majesty really loves me?"
Fuqiu asked in confusion: "My Lady, isn't it..."
They believed that His Majesty might change his mind one day, but His Majesty was so good to the Empress, how could he not really love her?
Shen Zhinian looked at the sky in the distance, her deep eyes full of calmness: "Your Majesty's favor towards me is nothing more than the impulse of a man towards a woman."
"He likes my appearance and temperament, and everything he does for me is done when he is willing, comfortable, and happy. In the final analysis, when His Majesty is nice to me, he is just pleasing himself."
"Perhaps... this is what the world considers 'love', but it is not enough to make me fall for it."
"One day, His Majesty will get tired of me and feel that time has exposed my shortcomings. He will then think that I don't really meet his standards. His novelty about me will wear off and he will start to be picky."
"In fact, His Majesty can love any woman. At the same time, if he meets another woman who meets all his preferences, he will also give his all and love passionately."
"But the ending of that woman...may be equally tragic."
Not to mention Handan and Fuqiu, even Nanny Lin was deeply shocked...
She has lived for decades, but when it comes to love, she is not as insightful as the Empress.
Handan and Fuqiu suddenly understood why the queen was so invincible in the harem.
Because there are many concubines in the harem with high family backgrounds, many with good looks, and several who have had a long-term friendship with His Majesty. But no one can be as clear-headed as the Queen!
If they were in his place, being favored by His Majesty, they would have already thrown their hearts into his heart like moths to a flame...
Fuqiu said in a complicated tone: "My Lady, if you say so, then wouldn't it mean that all the men in the world can no longer believe it?"
"Aren't love and sincerity poisonous?"
Shen Zhinian looked at her gently: "Why do you think so?"
"There are thousands of people with thousands of faces. I am only analyzing Your Majesty. There may be truly infatuated men in the world."
"But I still want to tell you that at any time, don't love someone without reservation. Even if you really want to give 80% of your true love to the other person, remember to keep 20% to love yourself."
"Don't take the other person too seriously, and don't take yourself too lightly."
The last sentence suddenly touched Fuqiu's heart. Her eyes became hot and she almost cried...
She was madly in love with Doctor Tang, but no matter how many times she showed her affection, he always rejected her gently but ruthlessly.
So...she took the other person too seriously and took herself too lightly?
"…My lady, I am grateful for your instruction."
……
For the Duke of Zhenguo, Jiang Wange, who could not give birth to a prince, could not play any role in his great cause and was just a discarded pawn.
So this time, he did not use his own men in the imperial guards and imperial guards, but instead asked Jiang Wange to create chaos in the harem.
Because of a discarded piece, it doesn't matter if I die.
Who would have thought... Jiang Wange was even more useless than he imagined. Not only could she not do such a small thing, she also ruined herself from a concubine to a noble!
As a result, whenever he met that old wretch Duke Dingguo these days, he was often ridiculed by the other party.
He chose Jiang Wange from the side branch because she was not only beautiful, but also scheming, scheming, and vicious. He even killed two other sisters who were competing with her to become the only candidate.
How come after entering the palace, Jiang Wange's talent in poetry has made a qualitative leap, and she has many more strange ideas. But the previous methods are no longer seen at all?
If it weren't for the paper shadows and the others following her every day, the Duke of Zhenguo would have suspected that Jiang Wange had been replaced by someone else.
Forget it, let’s plan a suitable time to take action!
From that day on, in order to ensure his own safety and to plan with his staff to force the emperor to abdicate, the Duke of Zhenguo began to stay at home, claiming to be sick and not attending court.
However... before he could make a move, the emperor took the initiative!
Led by the Minister of Rites Gu Jinxiao, many civil and military ministers impeached the Duke of Zhenguo in the court!
