Chapter 845: Princess Kang Yueshi is here
Shang Hong was stunned, "No, Lan'er's belly is already showing."
"Do you think your affairs can be kept secret? How she was kidnapped by Prince Kang's men, and how she threatened you to help them send assassins into the palace. These things have not yet been reported to the emperor." Jiang Fenghua said earnestly.
"Empress, help me." Shang Hong has been terrified. He couldn't sleep every day during this period and even didn't dare to see Lan'er.
He thought he could run away with Lan'er, but in the end he found that he couldn't. The Shang family couldn't leave him, and he couldn't leave the Shang family. His parents already knew about their affairs, but the Shang family didn't agree to let Helan Yanran into the family. She was a concubine in the harem, and letting her into the family would be a capital crime for the Shang family.
My father would not allow their scandalous behavior to damage the reputation of the business. He was neither left nor right.
It was also because she was pregnant with Shangjia's child that her father reluctantly agreed to let her come in as a concubine, but her true identity could not be known to anyone.
Since King Kang's people knew her hiding place last time, her identity could no longer be hidden.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "Now you know you are afraid, what did you do in the first place?"
It was too late for Shang Hong to regret. He said, "The Queen agreed to let me take Lan'er out of the palace."
Jiang Fenghua was speechless. She didn't even have the strength to fight back after being slapped.
But she would never allow herself to be manipulated. "Confess to the emperor! Invite Marquis Changping and his wife to the palace, and apologize to them in front of them. This matter is not just your fault. Helan Yanran is also at fault. Of course, the decision I made in the first place was wrong."
Shang Hong couldn't understand the Queen. The Queen supported them in the beginning, so she was willing to help them act out a play to let him take Lan'er out of the palace. Now the Queen seemed to regret doing so.
"If the emperor knew, he would definitely kill me." Shang Hong said, "There is no other way now. I can only let Lan'er suffer."
"You are going to marry another woman so soon. Are you doing her justice? Helan Yanran risked her life to follow you out of the palace, but within a few months, you married a new lover." Jiang Fenghua sneered, "I wonder if you merchants are hoping that Helan Yanran will disappear."
Shang Hong was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word. He clenched his fists. This incident had indeed distracted him from his official duties. He denied it, "I wouldn't do that."
Jiang Fenghua knew that he was lying. What men lust after is women's bodies. The talk of love or not is just nice words said during a secret affair. A woman who can't resist being coaxed will definitely lose control.
All in all, women should not be too naive or stupid. A man can just change another woman and there is no loss.
"I will go and explain to the emperor that you send Helan Yanran back to the Marquis of Changping's mansion. I will send someone to explain her disappearance to the Marquis of Changping's wife." She added, "As for whether you, the merchant family, want to marry the daughter of the Shen family into the mansion, you should think about it carefully. I don't want anyone to die."
She wanted to save Helan Yanran's life. Madam Helan had pointed at her nose and scolded her for harming her daughter, and she would not take the blame anymore.
Shang Hong instantly understood what the Queen meant. If anything happened to Helan Yanran, the Queen would definitely not let him and Shang Hong off.
At this moment, Hongxiu's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Chief Butler Wuxin is here."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Let him come in and talk."
Just as Wu Xin entered, Shang Hong had already stood up from the ground and said, "I will take my leave first."
Jiang Fenghua added, "Hongxiu, you accompany Lord Shang out of the palace and send Concubine Lan back to the Marquis of Changping's residence. Tell Madam Helan that you found her in a farmer's home. How she wants to explain to her parents is her own business."
Shang Hong understood what the queen meant. She sent her personal maid because she didn't believe that he would really send Lan'er back to the Helan family.
At this point, this is the only way. If what the Queen said is true, and this matter is reported to the Emperor by someone else, both the Shang family and the Queen will be implicated.
Hong Xiu roughly understood what the Queen meant, and she said respectfully, "Yes, I will do it right away."
Only after Shang Hong left did Wu Xin say, "Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to go over and entertain the guests."
Jiang Fenghua frowned, "Who is here again?"
Wu Xin said, "Princess Kang Yueshi is here."
Jiang Fenghua raised the corners of his lips, "I didn't expect that the natives from the northwest would also get involved. Shengjing City is really lively!"
Wu Xin said, "Your Majesty, you should be prepared. This Concubine Kang is not a pushover. She asked to see Prince Kang and his children as soon as she arrived. The Emperor has already sent someone to invite Prince Kang to the palace."
"Has the emperor also sent someone to pick up Xie Yun and Xie Minmin?"
Wuxin nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Fenghua also knew that the emperor had his difficulties. Not to mention that Xie Yun and Xie Minmin were both surnamed Xie, the fact that Princess Kang was the daughter of an indigenous chieftain in the northwest was something Xie Shang could not afford to offend.
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, it is really difficult to deal with!
In her memory of her previous life, she had always been in the harem, which had always been managed by the Su family's aunt and nephew. It was not her turn to deal with these matters.
Even so, as far as she could remember, Princess Kang Yueshi had never been to Shengjing.
What went wrong in this life? Why did so many things change? Even many things that had never happened happened.
For example, Helan Yanran in her previous life had never had an affair with Shang Hong. She was the true emperor's woman, and Xie Shang treated all the women he married into the palace equally. The women in the harem not only reproduced offspring for the royal family, but also served to balance the court.
Jiang Fenghua couldn't figure it out, and was too lazy to think about it. He packed up and went back to the front palace.
-
Princess Kang was served by eight maids, all of whom wore white scarves on their heads. I guess people in the northwest like to wear this, after all, there is a lot of wind and sand there.
Princess Kang is only forty years old, but looks like she is in her fifties. She is not slim, even a little bloated. Her face is not very pretty, and her complexion is not good. It seems that the Northwest is really a bitter and cold place!
Jiang Fenghua looked at the figures gathered in the pavilion in the distance. Xie Shang was really mean. When his Aunt Wang came, he didn't even invite her to sit in the main hall, but left her alone in the garden.
How can this be considered hospitality?
The Yuezhi was like a "darling of heaven" in the northwest, but when she arrived in Shengjing, she was not even considered a guest.
Prince Kang clearly had a residence in Shengjing, but when Princess Kang arrived, she did not go to see Prince Kang first, but ran to the palace to see the Emperor.
Is it because she can’t find Prince Kang’s palace?
Concubine Chang was under house arrest in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and Prince Kang was under house arrest in Prince Kang's Mansion. No one knew whether these two would meet secretly in private. Now that Prince Kang's queen has come, will things become even more lively?
At this moment, Jiang Fenghua suddenly saw a man with loose hair and wearing white clothes following Yue Shi.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but at the moment when they looked at each other, she actually felt that the casually dressed man glanced at her, as if he had seen her a long time ago.
Wu Xin asked, "Your Highness, aren't you going to entertain Princess Kang?"
Jiang Fenghua hesitated for a moment. She always felt that the man was strange. She said, "I will attend the banquet with the emperor in a while. Please send Princess Kang to the Kang Palace to meet Prince Kang. They haven't seen each other for a long time. Prince Kang must miss his princess very much."
Wu Xin was so upset that his head was full of black lines. When he saw Princess Kang, he finally understood why Prince Kang was involved with Concubine Chang.
Wu Xin said: "But the emperor said..."
Jiang Fenghua didn't want to say hello anymore and just left.
As soon as she turned around, the man with Princess Kang also withdrew his gaze from Jiang Fenghua.
