Chapter 400: The queen and concubine join forces in pairs
Mo Xuetong went through the motions in Cining Palace, Princess Ning plotted to kill Princess Chu, such a big thing made Ning Wang Fengjue's plan really change dramatically, and everyone knew that the court pattern was no longer the previous situation where the two kings were competing against each other, and this matter, on the surface, it seemed that King Ning's plan failed.
But in fact, there is no loss to the king of Chu in this matter, I heard that the Dingguo Mansion is ready to marry the third lady to the king of Chu as a stepfamily, and the good daughter is gone, and the royal family also owes the Dingguo Mansion an explanation, and it is inevitable that the Dingguo Mansion will have another Chu princess.
King Ning is different, no one can say why Wang Yueyue's death is, how can an unformed fetus slip off, how can it be life-threatening, who has no thing in the backyard that slips and drops a child, at most it will hinder future childbirth, but it will not lose his life for no reason, and he coincidentally didn't leave a word, and he went to fight the case all on himself.
The subtlety in this makes people who have been in the officialdom for a long time feel unusual.
The separation between the palace and King Ning, and even more, it is said that the eldest lady of the Wang family is also inexplicably gone because she has a head and tail with King Ning, and some people also talk about King Ning's wedding day, Wang Xiuxiu also died of misbirth, there is no other connection in this!
Although Wang Shoufu is a minister, he has been an official for many years, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and his two daughters are folded in the hands of King Ning, so how can he be indifferent, and there are more and more people secretly watching King Ning, and some officials who have already agreed to take refuge in King Ning have slowly begun to shirk.
There was also a lot of controversy within the Dingguo Mansion about the Queen Mother because of this incident, and even the people sent by the Queen Mother also called out, what should be done, what should be done, although they did not refuse, but they were not active.
After years of planning, once abandoned, how could the queen mother not be angry, this anger, she was sick in Cining Palace again, and she was not even in the mood to support the younger generation, and only picked a few old feudal lords to chat, and the princess like Mo Xue Tong was even more unwelcome, so the eunuch guarded the door and said that the queen mother was not strong enough, and let them go back, so Mo Xuetong only bowed respectfully to the direction of the queen mother outside the inner hall, and was taken out.
The queen's Tianfeng Palace was very lively, and the women inside were waiting for the queen to announce it.
Seeing Mo Xuetong coming, someone from the palace had already reported in, and a eunuch came out and led Mo Xuetong inside with a smile.
The queen sat on the top of the high, a phoenix robe with a gorgeous and noble face, although her face was also a little pale, but her expression was peaceful and peaceful, obviously in a good mood, there were a few concubines sitting on both sides, Su Guifei, who had always been at odds with the queen, was also present, it was rare for the two of them to talk and laugh, and get along peacefully.
Mo Xuetong visited the queen and was given a seat.
"King Xuan's legs and feet are better now?" the emperor asked kindly, and the palace maid offered fragrant tea.
"Thank you for the queen's concern, the prince's leg injury is almost healed, but he can't exert more effort, the doctor said that even if it is all good in the future, it will not be used as much as possible, if it hurts the bone again, it will be difficult to heal. Mo Xuetong smiled respectfully.
"King Xuan is a playful person, otherwise he won't be hurt, I heard that your backyard is not bad, those who can't get on the table have to dispose of some of them, don't toss out anything when the time comes. Su Guifei covered her lips and smiled.
Feng Jue's backyard is a well-deserved big grocery room, everyone knows that hearing Su Guifei mention this, the other people looked at Mo Xue Tong's smile with a bit of mockery, even if Mo Xue Pupil is tight, how much can be restrained with King Xuan's temperament, this person's lack of sex is famous.
There are so many beauties in this backyard, how can he be reluctant, who knows when he will return to his debauched nature and carry women to the house one by one.
Not long after the newlywed, Mo Xue's pupils are long and beautiful like this, of course Feng Jue is happy or something, and it is not as good as a finger from others to encircle the entire back garden aside, but what about him, he will rush to Feng Jue to dye that romantic reputation, and I don't know how long it will take to be favored.
Mo Xuetong didn't know where she didn't like this Su Guifei anymore, but fortunately, she didn't care, thinking about her identity as Princess Xuan, Su Guifei wouldn't like it, so she simply pretended not to care, and replied generously: "The people in the prince's backyard, the prince is interesting, and the concubine really doesn't dare to say anything here, it all depends on the prince's mind." β
No matter what Concubine Su meant, she just had to pretend to be a generous and calm Princess Xuan.
"Princess Xuan is really a wise person, look at how thin she has become in order to take care of King Xuan. Su Guifei sighed with her palms, and then said to the queen: "Queen, you have to appreciate Princess Xuan, I heard that I have been accompanying King Xuan to read in the palace for the past few days, and the emperor has let King Xuan pass, I guess I asked if I have been reading in the palace for a while!"
She said a lot here, and turned back to look at the queen.
The queen's eyes fell on Mo Xuetong, nodded, and said with a smile: "You are a virtuous person, if King Xuan has something that can't stand you in the future, don't care too much, there is this palace for you to decide, and you really have to deal with it in that courtyard, but don't deal with it all with a stick, deal with all those who are restless and really bad, and really set a few concubines, don't let people see the royal jokes." β
Mo Xuetong rolled her eyes secretly, but her face became more and more respectful, there are still few royal jokes, since the beating of several princes to get married, this joke has been committed one after another, how can I get here to make people see jokes!
"Yes, the concubine will remind the prince when she goes back. β
She is just a princess, and she is also the princess of a well-known prince, so she simply pushes it all to Feng Jue to deal with, and it also saves them from being virtuous or not virtuous, whether it is the queen or Su Guifei, she is not what she can afford now, and in the case of being unable to fight, Mo Xuetong is more willing to keep a low profile.
Seeing that Mo Xuetong's face was not reluctant at all, respectful, and smiling, the queen was satisfied, and waved her hand and said: "Let's go down first, go to the garden, you usually take care of King Xuan, and you don't have time to go shopping, young girls, you don't need to accompany us old people, look at the scenery outside." β
Mo Xuetong immediately said that she had retired, whether it was the queen or Su Guifei, she didn't want to be too close, although Feng Jueran had to enter the game, but she still preferred others to see her as a person who couldn't enter the game, an arrogant prince, plus a weak and assertive princess, it was enough for those who had ideas to feel at ease for a while.
"When the queen said so, the concubine Keke would not follow, and anyone could see that the mother and the concubine stood together, and the concubine was the sister of the mother. Su Guifei's coquettish voice came from behind, these two now have the same goal, and their relationship will immediately get better, and they will let go of their previous suspicions, no matter who knows or think they are really good sisters, there are many women in this palace, and sure enough, they all have several sets of masks to see people.
"The queen mother and the concubine are so young, the concubine is really old, I really went out to take a look, and I thought we were a generation older. β
"No, the two mothers are beautiful, and they go out like this, they are more eye-catching than those young sisters, where do you say that they are old. β......
Several concubines flattered and catered to each other, the hall was full of laughter, and the queen and Su Guifei were not separated from each sentence, and even put the two people in the same position, the news of the people in the palace is always so well-informed, as soon as the king of Chu has the advantage, the harem will change, if Feng Juexuan is crowned with a big treasure in the future, these two are the nominal queen mother of the main palace, and the other is the emperor's biological mother, even if the name is worse, but in fact, who is better than who is not necessarily, of course, you have to stammer.
But I don't know if the queen will be happy when she hears such words.
"Princess, Miss He Er has passed by, and the news from the prince has asked you to go to Anhe Palace in a while, and he is waiting for you there. Mo Ye came over and helped Mo Xuetong to leave Tianfeng Palace, and after walking a few steps, he saw that there were fewer people around him, so he looked at a blooming purple peony and said lowly.
Although he didn't say much, Mo Xue Tong already understood, and nodded, at this time, Feng Jue Ran must still be with Emperor Zongwen, and it is useless to go early, so I simply go to the meeting by myself first, the imperial garden comes and goes in a hurry every time, it is rare to have such an opportunity, you can enjoy it quietly, this spring flower is in full bloom, it is the time of brightness.
Holding the ink leaves in the flower path casually, while watching the boundless beauty of this garden, the branches of the demon blazing beautiful flowers, different shapes.
"Second Miss He is having a good time talking to Concubine Zhao now?" Mo Xuetong asked as she casually picked a blooming hibiscus.
From a distance, Miss He Er has been given a seat, it seems that Concubine Zhao likes Miss He Er very much, and I heard that Miss He Er has also rewarded Miss He Er with some faces. Mo Ye replied, the guards beside Concubine Zhao, the people who were staring at her didn't dare to stand too close, they just watched from a distance, but looking at the situation, He Yuxiu was very close to Concubine Zhao's heart, and only a moment let him get up and give him a seat.
Mo Xuetong walked forward slowly, the hibiscus in her hand turned, the faint fragrance lingered between her noses, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, she bit her lip and asked:
"Mo Ye, why do you think the He family sent two concubines into the palace, at that time, Concubine Xian should be the most favored, right?"
This is where she can't figure it out the most, if any family has been favored, what do they want to do if they send another one in, if they are not favored, it is a waste of a daughter, if they are favored, they are just thinning the favor of the daughter before, the He family looks very shrewd, why would they do such a stupid thing?
This is what Mo Xuetong has always been unable to figure out, and always feels that she seems to have overlooked something important, but she just can't remember it for a while, so she has to ask casually.
Mo Ye listened to the question and said casually: "Or maybe the He family thinks that a daughter is not a solid favor!"
She thinks that she is not as good as the princess, she is delicate, she thinks about things comprehensively, she never thought that Mo Xuetong would ask her this, she can only give an answer at will, and after speaking, she feels that the answer is not right, and she is busy and said: "Princess, the slave maid is talking nonsense, everyone like the He family is intertwined, who knows what bends and bends in their minds, or they think it is safer like this, the slave maid just said so, you also take it seriously." β
How could the He family think that Concubine Zhao would be favored? How could they have such a great ability to let the emperor favor whoever he wants!
"Mo Ye, have you seen Concubine Zhao?"
"The slave maid has never seen it, but I heard that it is very beautiful, and there are some old people in the palace who say it...... Say ......" Mo Ye hesitated.
"What did you say?" Mo Xuetong asked gently.
"I heard that Concubine Zhao's mother is very similar to Concubine Xian's mother, there are six or seven points of similarity, Concubine Xian's mother has passed away for a long time, and many old palace people can't remember the appearance of Concubine Xian's mother, only to say that the two people look like at first glance, it is very imaginary. "Mo Ye is a person who practices martial arts, and his ears are very strong, so he is guarding outside the Tianfeng Palace, and he has heard some foreign women secretly gathering together to talk about Concubine Zhao, and they all say that this Concubine Zhao is very similar to Concubine Xian.
