Concubine Kang's words were shallow, looking at her with a smile, but she had a posture that she had to face the saint.

Father-in-law Wei knew that she was used to being arrogant, and he knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to admit with a smile: "That is the case, the concubine will wait a while, and the slave will go in and report it." ”

Concubine Kang nodded in agreement, handed over the tray in her hand to the little eunuch on the side, and stood under the porch and waited. When Gonggong Wei didn't go for a long time, he came back and smiled at Concubine Kang and said, "Your Majesty invites Niangniang to come in and talk." ”

Concubine Kang still had a faint smile on her face, she slightly combed her sideburns, smoothed the folds on her shirt, and then took the tray from the little eunuch's hand, and entered it with the bamboo curtain of the hibiscus and Xiangfei raised by Gonggong Wei.

The imperial study room is quiet and warm, and there is a faint aroma of ambergris in the dragon pattern incense burner inlaid with enamel in copper.

Emperor Jian'an and Qin Heng sat opposite each other, and there was a Moyu chessboard on the kang table in front of the father and son, and the two were concentrating on playing chess. There is a wide tea table on the rosewood rattan and rosewood table on the side, sitting cross-legged in front of the table, pouring the freshly boiled mountain spring water into the cup, and the whole imperial study is a light fragrance of flowers and fruits.

Seeing Concubine Kang come in, Wen Wan only bowed slightly to show courtesy, and indifferently called Concubine Niangniang, not commensurate with her mother. With such obvious neglect, Emperor Jian'an seemed to turn a deaf ear, and only signaled to Concubine Kang Guifei, pointed to the rose chair on the side and ordered her to sit down, and then fell his gaze back on the chessboard.

In the past, I was so angry that my liver hurt, but today it seems to be even worse. Concubine Kang gritted her teeth and smiled: "Who said that the royal family has no family, and Your Majesty also has the kung fu to steal half a day of leisure, so that the concubines are envious." ”

Emperor Jian'an raised his head when he heard this, and his gentle gaze brushed over Qin Heng and Wen Wan, a beautiful woman, with a warm smile on his face: "Several of them are not in Beijing on weekdays, and it is difficult for the prince and his wife to accompany me every day to entertain their relatives with this old bone and colorful clothes." ”

Wen Wan got up, took the mahogany lacquered tray and served the brewed black gold tea to the three of them one by one, and smiled softly: "This is also the father's compassion, so that His Royal Highness and his daughter-in-law can do a little bit of their best." ”

Seeing that she is redundant, fortunately, after all these years of immersion in the deep palace, Concubine Kang has already learned that a face is like a spring breeze at any time, and she only maintains a dignified smile.

She put the bird's nest soup in a small bowl with a green glazed lotus pattern, handed it to Gonggong Wei according to the rules, and first tested the poison with a silver needle, and then served it to Emperor Jian'an: "Now that the weather is getting cooler and the nights are getting longer, Your Majesty should use some to kill the night." ”

Emperor Jian'an took Concubine Kang's bowl casually, ate a few bites randomly, and still focused on the black and white that were clearly distinguished. He didn't answer Concubine Kang's words, but twisted his eyebrows and said to Wen Wan: "How could I fall down again, the crown princess came over and took a look, Heng'er has a way to crack this move?"

Emperor Jian'an was not proficient in chess, but in order to relieve the pressure on his father, Qin Heng came to play a game of chess with him every night, and Emperor Jian'an asked Wen Wan for advice, and he just smiled.

Wen Wan walked around to Emperor Jian'an's side, caressed the situation on the plate, picked up a white jade chess piece and dropped it gently, and actually lifted a few sunspots from Qin Heng, and instantly helped Emperor Jian'an recover the lost ground.

Emperor Jian'an stroked his palm and smiled, and said to Qin Hengle: "I actually won, good boy, you also have today." ”

Qin Heng was not annoyed, but said to Emperor Jian'an: "Father Emperor has made great progress in chess these days, and he really walked very well in those few steps, and he already knows the essence of chess. ”

Wen Wan put away the chessboard on the table, smiled and invited the father and son to drink tea, while she was busy putting the chess pieces into the basket.

Seeing that Emperor Jian'an was on the rise, Concubine Kang Guifei suppressed the sourness in her stomach, rolled her eyes a few times, and still smiled gracefully: "Our crown princess is actually proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is really famous." Your Majesty, the concubine has a proposal, I don't know if you will allow it?"

The Xiangyuan Uncle's Mansion has been stripped of her title, and Concubine Kang is still talking to herself here, satirizing her gentle origin. Emperor Jian'an didn't like it, so he only raised his eyebrows slightly, and said perfunctorily: "Let's hear it." ”

Concubine Kang chuckled and said, "The prince is married, and there is a hostess in the East Palace." Your Majesty should take a look at it in person, has this prince's East Palace been a newcomer and a new climate?"

still didn't forget to suppress Wen Wan every sentence, comparing her with the two good women of the day, and talking about new and old people. Qin Heng was about to open his mouth to refute, but when he saw Wen Wan signaling with his eyes, he was silent and picked up the teacup in his hand.

Wen Wan was not ashamed or annoyed, and said generously to Emperor Chongming: "The daughter-in-law has long had this intention, and the concubine Niangniang also mentioned that the royal family also has a family. The daughter-in-law wants to invite her father and the emperor to come, and I will set up a home-cooked banquet with the prince, and then invite Her Royal Highness Princess Changle to come, and our family will have a good life. ”

Even Princess Changrui is counted, but she doesn't mention Concubine Kang's stubble at all, and these few words of gentleness can be regarded as a sharp counterattack to Concubine Kang's two verbal runs.

Seeing that Concubine Kang was so excited, she was only secretly happy in her heart, and she didn't care about Wen Wan's arrogance towards her.

Jian'an Emperor Xiao has always been gentle and gentle to others, but when he looked at Concubine Kang, he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. Knowing that Qin Heng would eventually break the net with Kang Jiayu, he admired Wen Wan's clear stand at the beginning.

He laughed, and couldn't bear to brush off his gentle kindness: "I also have this intention, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, then tomorrow morning, after the court, I and Changrui will go to the East Palace for a walk." Let's take a look at Ah Heng's self-marrying relatives, and what improvements have been made in the East Palace. ”

Concubine Kang Guifei was ecstatic when she heard this, her and Qin Huai's original intention was to put Emperor Jian'an into the Prince's East Palace, poison him in the East Palace, and then push the charges on Qin Heng in a grand manner, making him difficult to distinguish.

Seeing that it was so easy, Concubine Kang was anxious to communicate with Qin Huai, and she couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and said goodbye with a smile: "That is the case, the concubine will retire first." Your Majesty will have an early court tomorrow, so let's rest in peace. ”

Emperor Chongming gave her face, drank all the black gold tea in his hand, and ordered Gonggong Wei to send a message to the princess's mansion, and Xuan Changrui entered the palace tomorrow. He also said to Qin Heng and Wen Wan: "You also go back to rest early, you will be busy tomorrow, and you can recuperate your spirits today." ”

A pun, the meaning is quite obvious, Concubine Kang was full of thoughts about which link to choose to poison tomorrow, but she didn't pay any attention to Emperor Jian'an's words.

Out of the imperial study, seeing Qin Heng and Wen Wan walking hand in hand along the marble road paved with ice cracks, and returning to the Prince's East Palace with swaying flowers and branches, Concubine Kang showed a disdainful smile.

Thinking that let these two people have to be stunned for one more night, after today, the palace will change the sky and become the world of Qin Huai and the entire Kang family, and then she will have to crush them.
