Because the ban on Yushuang Palace was lifted some time ago, Liu Ying also restored the appearance that Concubine De should have, although she was far from being favored by the emperor and in the past, but she was not locked up in the palace and couldn't step out, and there were more and more people who posted it to offer courtesy.

He Zhe's little change was immediately reported to Liu Ying.

Hearing the news, Liu Ying, who was holding a small broom in the backyard and pretending to clear the snow, immediately threw away the broom in her hand and asked in surprise: "Are you right?" ”

"How can a slave be mistaken? There is more than one slave and maid serving around the saint, and if the mother doesn't believe it, she can find someone else to confirm it. "In the end, it is the emperor's close attendant, even when he speaks to Concubine De, he is arrogant.

But where will Liu Ying pay attention to these? Immediately asked the palace maid next to him to reward him with a jade bracelet, hurriedly returned to the house, and after several circles in the room, she asked Shi Concubine to be invited to the Yushuang Palace.

Concubine Shi was her most frustrated friend during the period after the lifting of the ban from the Jade Frost Palace, and in every way, she was very satisfied with this friend, and had become a staunch ally-

Concubine Shi has a son, even if it is an unfavored prince, he is also a prince, as long as he can win the support of their mother and son, the six princes will have a greater chance of winning in the future!

In less than a stick of incense, Concubine Shi rushed to the Jade Frost Palace, and then got the news from Liu Ying that the six princes might be refocused on.

The two women with sons hid in a small room to discuss the matter of competing for the crown, and under the intentional guidance of Concubine Shi, the topic soon reached the general's mansion.

“…… Compared with other princes who strive for the crown prince, the six princes have a big shortcoming, but this shortcoming is very simple to make up. ”

"You mean...... Matriarchal power? ”

"That's right."

"Don't laugh, you and I both know what kind of person the Holy Lord is, how could he allow the prince to have a strong maternal clan? I was trembling in the past, and I didn't even dare to plan for my nephews in my official position, because I didn't want to be jealous of the saints? ”

Liu Ying wanted to use Tai/Zu as an example, but the words turned around in her mouth and swallowed back.

Tai/Zu has nothing to do with her, but He Zhe and He Lin are husbands and sons, and she doesn't want to stage a cannibalistic drama between father and son, this kind of example can not be said, so as not to come true in the end.

Under her gaze, Concubine Shi shook her head.

"Although the saint is a saint, it is normal to consider the future prince's mother family, but is a prince with a weak mother clan really what the saint wants? Sister think about it, if the sixth prince becomes the crown prince, then the princess is selected among the daughters of the big families in Beijing, the prince's mother family is weak, and the princess's family is strong, will the prince still become the prince who is satisfied with the saint? ”

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "What do you mean...... Grasp the degree? ”

"The affairs of the General's Mansion are the family affairs of my sister's family, and I am inconvenient to put my beak, but above the court, my sister can change it slightly."

"Tell me about it?"

"My sister is still young, among several nephews, there are only one or two who have entered the office, these nephews are the future right-hand men of the six princes, my sister must be firmly held in her hands, in addition, my sister's two brothers are also very important, after all, it has been a long time since the six princes sat in that position, at that time, my sister's two brothers were all veterans in the court, all of them helped, although the new monarch was newly established, why was it unstable?"

Liu Ying's face changed several times, and it took a long time before she hesitantly mentioned the problem: "But my mother ...... her."

"Mrs. Roewe? What's wrong with her? ”

"My sister may not know, the reason why I was asked by the Holy Lord to think about it behind closed doors a few days ago was because my mother did something that angered the Holy God outside, I sent someone to send a message out, at first my mother told me to be a little restless, and then there was no news, the Holy Lord came to inquire several times, but I have been in the palace for so long, where do I still know about the affairs of the family?"

"My sister is really confused!"

“…… What the? ”

"Isn't the daughter who gets married a member of the family? If you don't know anything about your family, don't you show the Holy God that you don't have a good relationship with your family? If the mother clan is weak, there is no mud in this world that the saint can't support, but if the prince and the mother clan are separated, and the saint's means reach the sky, then he can't control the family affairs of his subordinates! ”

"Is it my fault?! Mother She ...... She didn't tell me anything since she was a child! ”

"Didn't my sister have eyes? Don't have ears? I grew up in the General's Mansion since I was a child, how could I not hear any news at all! ”

"I ......"

"Don't talk about it far away, let's just talk about the recent past, the old lady has done a big thing recently, does my sister know?"

"No... I don't know ......."

"Mrs. Rongwei went to Jinyang to resolve the grievances, and accumulated popularity for the saint along the way back to Beijing, and the people everywhere they passed set up the immortal tablets of 'Mrs. Deshan' and 'Glorious Holy Monarch', and worshiped every day."

"What?!"

"Sister, don't you think that the re-emphasis of the six princes is actually related to this matter?"

"But my mother was ...... before"

"As far as I know, Mrs. Rongwei will return to Beijing in a hurry before the year, so my sister might as well take the opportunity of the New Year's greetings to go back to the General's Mansion and have a good chat with the old lady?"

“…… Good. ”

Seeing Liu Ying's deep thought, Concubine Shi picked up the teacup to cover the upturned corners of her mouth, and drank the last sip of flower tea in the cup.

finally completed a task before the old lady entered Beijing, and the next thing she had to do was to take down Concubine Lu.

Liu Ying, who was all about her son, naturally didn't pay attention to what Concubine Shi was doing in her other free time, so she didn't know that Concubine Shi actually had a good relationship with Concubine Lu in her eyes in private.

After Concubine Shi gave birth to her son, she faded her mind to compete for favor, and wholeheartedly wanted to train her son to become a virtuous king, and then wait for her son to establish a mansion, as long as He Zhe died, she would move out of the palace to live her free life, as for the new Lu Concubine? As long as it doesn't interfere with her plans, she doesn't care about it at all.

But the old lady gave the task, and she still had to complete it.

At first, she thought that the characters would be difficult, after all, from the perspective of a bystander, Concubine Lu was a jealous and bewitching woman, and only allowed the emperor's eyes to focus on her alone, so the women of the entire harem stood on her opposite.

But later she found out that Concubine Lu was very strange.

The woman who treats her as an enemy, she is not polite, relying on He Zhe's favor, coupled with the support of the concubine, she can make the other party cry and beg for mercy with a little means; But if you are kind to her, she will not refuse, and she will not treat you as a person with special thoughts, and you can find out in three or two sentences that she is actually a very cute girl.

After a few contacts, Concubine Shi knew why He Zhe liked her so much.

It's not that she's beautiful, it's not that she's good at dancing, it's not that she's brilliant, but that such a person is placed in the harem, like a clear stream, staying by her side is like not feeling any love other than happiness at all, and her whole person is the source of happiness.

After contacting Concubine Lu with a purpose, Concubine Shi really fell in love with that girl.

But that doesn't mean she's forgotten about her mission.

When the convoy of the General's Mansion returned to Shengjing in three days, Concubine Shi found Concubine Lu, handed over a sealed letter, and told her to only look at it secretly when no one was around.

The next day, Concubine Shi found that Concubine Lu looked at her with a little more surprise, as if she had a huge wealth on her, but when she asked, Concubine Lu refused to say more, and only then was she annoyed by asking, so she explained: "It's the sender who surprised me too much, and I'll tell you about it after the state banquet." ”

State dinner?

Shi Concubine remembered that the General's Mansion had asked her to meet the old lady during the state banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, could it be that something could not happen at the state banquet?

So with a bit of anticipation, Concubine Shi quietly waited for the day of the New Year.

***

Yang Qinglan, who returned to the General's Mansion after more than half a year, is also very looking forward to the arrival of the state banquet, after all, she is really aggrieved by this task, and she finally strung all the clues together, just waiting for the state banquet to harvest, so that she could end the task as soon as possible and return to reality, and her mood was much better.

However, a good mood obviously can't change Zhang Yunhua's physical status, and after the convoy arrived in Shengjing, she had a serious illness, and several imperial doctors worked together to save her, so they didn't let the general's mansion have a funeral when the New Year was about to happen.

Although her life was saved, she was paralyzed.

She couldn't go down to the ground for a long time, and now she can only sit in a special wheelchair for the New Year, if it weren't for her stubbornness to attend the state banquet, He Zhe would have allowed her to stay in the general's mansion and not go out.

On the day of the state banquet, early in the morning, Yang Qinglan was called by cherries, and then was surrounded by a group of maids to dress up, preparing to attend the state banquet in the evening.

In the afternoon, Yang Qinglan entered the palace in a sedan chair sent by the palace, and He Zhe also took time to meet him.

Looking at the 23% progress bar above the emperor's head, Yang Qinglan pursed her lips.

What a kind of affectionate guy, she worked so hard to set up an immortal tablet for him all the way from Jinyang to Shengjing, and the progress has improved so much, if it is replaced by someone else, maybe the values will be out of the charts.

Then she set her eyes on Liu Ying, who was following behind He Zhe.

The eyes of Gujing Wubo just now were immediately filled with strong maternal love, which shocked Liu Ying, who had been paying attention to her!

Under the effect of Shi Concubine, the progress bar that had risen to 54% instantly soared to 78%.

"I still have a lot of things, so I won't bother your mother and daughter to catch up, Concubine De will accompany her mother well, and bring her with you for a banquet later."

"Yes."

He Zhe left, Yang Qinglan opened the aura of the queen of the shadow and pulled Liu Ying in the tone of an old man who was about to die, and said a lot, and in less than two quarters of an hour, Liu Ying's progress bar became 135%, holding her hand with red eyes and refusing to let go.

When the progress bar reached 100%, Yang Qinglan turned off the aura of the actress and chatted with her, and the two chatted until the banquet was about to start.

While Liu Ying was going to touch up her makeup, Yang Qinglan beckoned to the little palace maid who had been guarding the corner.

"Let your master come to see me at the Pavilion of the East Lake in the Imperial Garden when he has passed the three rounds of drinking."
