Chapter 323: There is a rumor in the dark
The day after the royal car, the foreign wives were racking their brains to think about how to find an opportunity to enter the palace without a trace to greet Her Royal Highness the Queen, and to show goodwill to the future Crown Prince in advance, and news came from the palace - because they were too tired yesterday, the three Buddhas in the palace had to rest in bed to recuperate, and the palace affairs were temporarily taken care of by Princess Changning, and Princess Yongan assisted by her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Everyone immediately talked in private, and they were more worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than His Majesty the Emperor.
No matter how worried Rao is, no one dares to disturb the tranquility of Her Royal Highness the Queen and prevent her from resting and recuperating her fetus. Even the residences of Concubine Zhou De and Concubine Yuan Shu are exceptionally peaceful, and even the low-level concubines who always remember to please them on weekdays are nowhere to be seen, and they are very smart to show their favor in a different way. For a time, the Daming Palace was full of cigarette smoke, the sound of chanting scriptures was endless, and almost every palace offered a jade Buddha or Bodhisattva.
Concubine Yuan Shu originally planned to let Yuan Meiren secretly talk about a few Baolin and others, and use her worries to spy on the physical condition of Concubine Zhou De and Queen Du. Unexpectedly, Princess Changning, who simply lived in the palace, looked at the vicinity of Chengxiang Hall very closely, and she couldn't even fly a bird in, let alone a living person. The imperial doctor who was in charge of diagnosing her pulse saw that she was in a bad mood, and he was secretly angry in his heart, and hurriedly told her to relax, otherwise the dragon heir would be difficult to protect.
In Yuan Shufei's opinion, the dragon fetus in her womb that she finally got was naturally more expensive than anything else. Seeing that she couldn't bother anymore, she had to start reusing her niece. So, after testing Yuan Meiren a few times and making sure that she had no second thoughts at least for now, Concubine Yuan Shufei handed over the matter of communication with the outside of the palace to her.
The relationship between Li Hui and Queen Du's mother and daughter was extraordinary, and after hearing the news, he immediately took Du Jialan into the palace to greet him. When he got off the bus in front of the palace gate, it happened that the wind and snow were falling, and Li Hui took the oil-paper umbrella and took the Dugalan beside him to block the heavy snow. From a distance, the newlyweds are like beautiful people, and everyone is extremely envious when they see it.
When they came to the Penglai Palace, they were free to travel. Li Hui couldn't hide the worry on his face, but after seeing Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an with crooked eyebrows and eyes, he was slightly relieved: "How is my uncle's body?" What is the result of Bonggo's diagnosis? ”
In fact, he also knew that Queen Du did hurt her body when she gave birth to Princess Yong'an, but after raising her for so many years, she has gradually recovered her health. Yesterday, when worshipping the heavens and seeing her off, the saint took pity on her body, and also arranged for the palace people to support her at any time, so she should not be too tired. However, since she let the news of being bedridden spread, she naturally has her considerations. As a good nephew who has always been filial, of course he must fully cooperate.
Empress Indu was taking a nap, and the juniors saluted her from afar and did not come forward to disturb her. The Shang Palace and the palace maids who were waiting were as calm and calm as usual, and led them to sit in the swallow room in the front hall.
"Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry." Princess Changning curled the corners of her lips and answered his question, "A-Niang just wants to lure the snake out of the hole." I have already cleaned the inside and outside of the Hanliang Hall where Penglai Hall and Concubine Zhou Defei lived, and I am waiting for some people to throw themselves into the net. However, I heard that the imperial doctor in charge of the Chengxiang Palace didn't dare to leave for a moment, thinking that the Great Yuan clan should really have a good life, and he shouldn't care about making bad intentions. But just because she doesn't take it upon herself doesn't mean she won't take advantage of it. ”
"Now that the rumors in Beijing have spread all over the city, many people have their own thoughts, but they don't dare to reveal anything for the time being." Li Hui said, "Which poisonous snake do you want to use Yuan's aunt and nephew to lure?" ”
"Some time ago, the Great Yuan family often sent cronies and maidservants out of the palace to return to the Yuan family, apparently to visit their families, but in fact they didn't know what to do." Princess Changning replied, "I thought it was because the Yuan family had a dragon heir because of the Great Yuan family, and their minds were a lot more active. But after sending someone to follow them for a while, they found that the few unsuccessful men in their family were still drunk and asleep as usual. That is, the mother of the Great Yuan family knows the inside story, and recently often burns incense to worship the Buddha, and the temples inside and outside the capital have been walked through. ”
Li Hui pondered for a moment: "The Yuan family is indeed a mud that can't be supported. In the early years, Concubine Yuan Shu also reprimanded them fiercely, and they had a lot of discord with each other. In a short period of time, it is impossible for their family to produce people who are proficient in conspiracy and trickery, let alone let Concubine Yuan Shu use her power to influence the palace. The so-called poisonous snake should be someone else. Don't worry, I will send someone to check on the Yuan clan to see who they are related to. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and for some reason, the first thing that came to mind was the seemingly sick and harmless face of the King of Jiangxia. For the king of Jiangxia County, he and Wang Zixian had already checked inside and out, and vaguely remembered that "Three years ago, after the king of Jiangxia County entered Beijing, he once accepted a daughter of the Yuan family as a concubine. This daughter seems to be the daughter of the Yuan family, and because of the middle of the family, she was dedicated to the king of Jiangxia by her father and brother. ”
Princess Changning was slightly stunned: "Brother's meaning, is that as early as when he entered Beijing, the thief of the king of Jiangxia County was paving the way for today?" At that time, he wanted to win over the Da Yuan clan and rely on her to disturb the palace?! ”
"Those who intend to rebel will naturally think far away...... Li Hui narrowed his eyes, "Whether he can succeed in the future or not, he must prepare various paths for himself." Maybe if this road doesn't work, the other road will pass? Maybe a casual arrangement could be the key to turning the tide? After all, he is different from the king of Hejian County, his military power is scattered, and he can only find the best opportunity to hit with one blow, otherwise there will be no room to turn over. ”
"Is it time to continue the temptation?"
"Just try again. Let's see what he's up to. ”
Princess Changning frowned and said, "The ultimate goal must be to hurt Ah Di and Ah Niang." After all, Ah Di is the crown prince of Grandpa Chrysostom. If the prince is stable, the palace will be stable, and if the palace is stable, Chang'an will be stable. And vice versa, if there is chaos in Beijing, he can take advantage of the chaos. It is impossible to say that it can also affect the grandfather who is far away in Taiyuan Mansion, which makes the army's morale unstable and the war changes. ”
"So you have to guard the Penglai Hall and the Hanliang Hall tightly. In addition, Concubine Yuan Shufei must not be framed. Li Hui said, "The affairs inside the palace will be handed over to you, and the affairs outside the palace will be investigated by me, you can rest assured." If I find any clues, I will ask my eldest brother, my uncle and grandfather for help. ”
Princess Changning bowed slightly, and then Du Jialan next to her suddenly said: "Yuan Meiren may be useful." Her expression was calm, and the Buddhist beads in her hand turned unhurriedly: "When I saw her off yesterday, I felt that she seemed to have implicit resentment towards Concubine Yuan Shu. Perhaps the two aunts and nephews are not completely reconciled, and they may be completely separated at some point. ”
Li Hui pondered for a moment, remembering why Yuan Meiren entered the palace back then, and why she was in a hurry to get rid of Concubine Yuan Shu later. Yes, since Concubine Yuan Shu can give birth to an heir, what is the use of Yuan Meiren, who should have "borrowed her belly to give birth to a child"? How could she, who was already ambitious, be willing to live under the pressure of her aunt all her life? What's more, she still has three princesses to raise, how can she feel at ease to be a chess piece that may be abandoned at any time?
Princess Changning's eyes moved slightly, and she grabbed Du Jialan's arm with a smile: "Good sister-in-law, help me take a look again, who else is available in this palace?" Those low-level concubines have their own thoughts, which ones are from the Great Yuan family, and which ones are really close to A-Niang, it is really difficult to distinguish clearly. ”
Princess Xin'an County rarely smiled slightly: "Call sister, I'll help you see." "Perhaps because her heart is outside the world, her eyes are extremely keen, and she can always find many details. It is precisely because people in the world are all burdened with the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance, the deeper the obsession, the more obvious the three poisons will become, and she can easily distinguish them.
"Good sister, good sister!" Princess Changning shook her arm and sneered.
Li Hui felt that he couldn't bear to look at it, and silently turned his gaze away. However, Du Jialan seemed to be quite useful, and laughed softly: "Don't worry, let them dry first, and then take a closer look." Recently, I have to go to the palace every day to greet my uncle, and sooner or later I will find a suitable opportunity. ”
Princess Yong'an blinked, and also learned from her sister, hugged Du Jialan's other arm and shook it. She is young, and even if she is coquettish, she looks very cute and cute, which provoked Princess Changning to cry out and hug her tightly. The three little ladies laughed together, which made Li Hui more and more lonely.
So, the king of Xin'an simply said goodbye for the time being and went to Zongzheng Temple by car. Now that he was still on a long vacation, the saint had granted him permission to resume his official duties after February, but he had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply took the initiative to come. King Jing naturally wouldn't be polite to him, and when he found him in front of him, he slipped him into the treasury.
"Uncle, what's the matter lately? Why are you suddenly busy? Li Hui was surprised to find that almost all the officials of Zongzheng Temple, large and small, were crowded into this warehouse full of classics. Some are writing hard, while others are shaking their heads -- among them there is even the heir of Chu, the king of Chu, Li Ju.
"How can there be no important business?" King Jing stroked his long beard, "Isn't it important to name His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
Facing his uncle's cold face, King Xin'an naturally did not dare to refute that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born nine months later, so there was no need to be in such a hurry. I didn't dare to risk the disapproval of the world, and proposed what if there were three more princesses in the palace? So, he silently pulled out a volume of books and searched for all the names that were auspicious or far-reaching.
When King Jing leaned over to check the names recorded by everyone, King Xin'an approached His Royal Highness King Chu without a trace: "Why is Brother Jiqing here?" "How can an idle king be caught by his elders?
“…… I came to say goodbye to my uncle and grandfather, but they were busy, so I ...... easily," Li Ju looked helpless, "Uncle and grandfather also said that I am proficient in classics, and I came to help every day just before I left Beijing." ”
"Leave at such a time?" Li Hui furrowed his eyebrows, "Why don't you wait a little longer?" When my uncle triumphs, it's not too late to return to Jingzhou. He always felt that something was likely to happen in Beijing recently, and the post road outside was not necessarily peaceful. After all, if the king of Jiangxia County wanted to set off turmoil in Chang'an, the first thing to do was to block the post road and prevent the surrounding state capitals from sending troops to rescue him. However, the army only started yesterday, and it can be returned to help when it turns around, so at least it should be fine for the next two days.
"I've been thinking about my aunt and my wife and children." Li Ju smiled very gently, "I'm also worried that they are too lonely in Jingzhou." Don't worry, I'll leave in the next two days, and it would be wise for me to stay away from the ups and downs of Beijing earlier. "His identity is too sensitive to be exploited.
Li Hui pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's right." When the time comes, I will send you out of Beijing. ”
