Imperial Palace, Yong'an Palace,

A palace concubine with a good face and kind eyebrows is half-leaning on the chaise longue to read, with an elegant, chaste and quiet posture, like a beautiful lady painting. The palace concubine is not young, and her facial features are not extremely beautiful, but she is better than that calm and indisputable temperament.

It is a pleasing sight to ignore the old woman who sat not far from her, sighing, complaining, and pleading, and beside the old woman, who was graceful and graceful but also had a sad face.

The old woman chattered for a while, and finally couldn't help it: "Niangniang, you have something to say, the Li family can't stand this toss." She didn't believe that Zhen'er could still read at this time, but unfortunately she never knew what this daughter was really thinking.

Yes, these three women are the master of Yong'an Palace, Concubine De Niangniang, her mother, Mrs. Li, and her only daughter, Princess Fuyun.

Whether it is the Li family or Concubine De, they have always been quite low-key. The Li family is also a big family that began to develop from the previous dynasty, and the first two or three generations are not prominent, but they are not very inferior, but they have a concubine Niangniang, and they married the eldest princess of Fuyun, so that the Li family has maintained some scenery. Although it is not as valued by the emperor as the British government, it is also stable and smooth.

However, I don't know if I offended the Bodhisattva, the Li family, which has always been stable and smooth, has been very uneasy recently. First of all, Li Haowei, the concubine who had been raised in front of Mrs. Li since he was a child, had nightmares for almost a month, so that he didn't dare to close his eyes and sleep. Although Li Haowei is a concubine, he is also the most promising concubine of the Li family, because he was raised in front of his mother-in-law, and he is also filial and considerate to his mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, and she is very fond of Mrs. Li.

Immediately afterwards, the second grandson who was in charge of the family business also seemed to be unlucky, and the situation occurred one after another, which had caused the Li family to lose a lot of silver, but they couldn't find the reason, and it seemed that it could only be explained by bad luck.

Although she invited the senior monks to do it, she still didn't believe what Li Haowei said about Yin Zhao warning them in the spirit of heaven. Those of them who were born and lived in a big family have never seen anything dirty. The more powerful the family, the more filthy things will be, and if there are really so many spirits in the sky, the sky will be filled up early.

She would rather believe that someone is dealing with the Li family in secret, or by dealing with the Li family to achieve the goal of dealing with Concubine De. Didn't Mama Lu say that a man in black poisoned her nephew's family and warned her to leave Lin Rong's side?

Concubine De put down the book in her hand and said helplessly: "What do you want me to say? Haowei is just thinking too much about himself and his heart is empty, or how can he say that he thinks about it day and night? As for San Lang, when did he lose his calculations in the business field? I'm afraid that he was preconceived and influenced by Haowei, and he was suspicious and suspicious, and he thought about everything to bad luck without looking for the reason, so wouldn't he make more mistakes and things didn't go well?"

Mrs. Li said unhappily: "Then what do you mean that there is no matter, that is, we think too much?"

"That's not really," Concubine De frowned, "It's still strange that Lu Tao'er suddenly picked a child. I'm afraid that someone has guessed the purpose of sending Lu Tao'er to the Lin family. You guys, you take it for granted, how can you let Lin Rong be calculated and fall under Lu Tao'er's nose and have a miscarriage? Can such a palace lady not make people suspicious? Do you want to tell people that a palace lady who has been in the palace for more than ten years and has been a six-grade steward is not as good as a concubine in Shangshu Mansion, or does this palace grandmother not care about Lin Rong at all, and is just a decoration by Lin Rong's side to destroy her reputation?"

Princess Fuyun: "......" she knew that the mother concubine blamed them for making their own decisions. The mother concubine has always been like this, when she is angry, she will not shout loudly like others, but will be terribly quiet, just like just now. No matter how long they say something, she just reads her book.

Mrs. Li: "...... Aren't I also thinking about putting a little pressure on the Lin family first, so that they can have more snacks. "She came up with the idea, and she really didn't discuss it with her mother. Outside is now saying that Mama Lu is unreliable, and I am worried about my nephew, you said it earlier, leave early, it's not cheap to invite a palace mama, but it's not for decoration.

"Now let's do it for now," Concubine De sighed, "you have people keep an eye on the little peach, but don't push her too hard, lest the dog jump off the wall in a hurry." As for the rest, I have to think about it, and when I see the girl from the Yin family at the palace banquet, we will make a decision on what to do. "Now that more people are eyeing Yin Zhiruo, the Li family will have to pay more effort and even more price to achieve their goal, she has to see if it's worth it first.

The eldest princess of Fuyun was surprised: "Mother means that what Lu Tao'er said is not the truth, there is no man in black to threaten her, but what deal did she make with others to betray us?"

"It's not necessarily betrayed," Concubine De shook her head, "I should have caught her some trick to make her retreat." I don't know if it's someone from the Yin family, a person from the Lin family, or someone else who is eyeing Yin Zhiruo?" "It is said that neither the Yin family nor the Lin family has such a sensitive and shrewd person, and they can't figure out what trick Lu Tao'er has, after all, how long has Lu Tao'er been out of the palace? Then, they are also eyeing Yin Zhiruo, and they don't want her and the Li family to stick a stick through Mrs. Lin. Qi Guifei? or the crown prince?

"If we had known this, we would have let Mrs. Lin take action earlier. Princess Fuyun said with regret. They had been eyeing Yin Zhiruo before their father summoned Yin Zhiruo's sisters and brothers to Beijing to attend the palace banquet, and if they had already decided, they wouldn't have to worry about others robbing them now. They all complained that the so-called long-tongued women of the Lin family spread the news that she sent Mama Lu to Lin Rong, but they were also intertwined with the Yin family's kindness to the Lin family.

"That's it, I don't know so much," Concubine De waved her hand, "Now that Yin Zhi is not out of the filial piety period, no one can do anything." And the emperor has recently begun to value their sisters and brothers, I heard that the two brothers of the Yin family were extremely satisfied with the day of the hunt, let's see what the emperor wants to do first. ”

The eldest princess of Fuyun was flustered and nodded hurriedly. Yes, it doesn't matter what the father doesn't care about, once the father pays attention to it, his attitude is unknown, who dares to act rashly? The father is more of an unpredictable existence than the mother concubine.

At this time, the big palace maid Qingxi, who was guarding outside the palace, came in, Qingxi was the most trusted palace maid beside Concubine De, and even the eldest princess Fuyun respectfully called Aunt Yixi.

"Niangniang," Qingxi came in to reply, "Concubine Qi asked someone to pass the word, please go to her palace to appreciate the osmanthus, saying that the Queen Mother rewarded her with a new chef, and the osmanthus cake made is very delicious." ”
