The news of Emperor Zhaoming's decree to marry Gongsun Yuanqing and the eldest princess soon spread throughout the government and the opposition, and the princes, nobles, civil and military officials were all stunned, no one could guess Emperor Zhaoming's thoughts, could it be that the emperor's dislike of the middle palace lineage in the past was fake, and he was paving the way for the crown prince to set up the five princes?

Among the courtiers, those who support the orthodoxy of the middle palace can't help but be secretly happy, and those courtiers who support other princes are in decline, in fact, the most uncomfortable person is not others, it is Liu Chengye, the marquis of Pingen, who has three princes' nephews. As soon as he got the news, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurried back to the Hou Mansion to ask his wife to quickly hand over the sign and enter the palace to ask Liu Guifei to inquire about the news and discuss countermeasures.

Mrs. Ping Enhou waited outside the palace gate with her daughter Liu Hanyan for most of the hour, before the housekeeper of Ningcui Palace came out to pick up their mother and daughter into the palace. The mother and daughter looked back and saw several palace maids and eunuchs hugging a sedan chair in gold and green and walking towards the palace gate.

"Prince Le, why did she enter the palace too! Smoke, quickly aside. Mrs. Pingenhou said in a low voice, her tone a little heavy.

Liu Hanyan looked at the luxurious sedan chair, a different color flashed in her eyes, and she gently claimed that it was, and retreated to the side of the road with her mother to avoid it.

When the sedan chair passed in front of Pingenhou's mother and daughter, Mrs. Pingenhou bowed slightly and saluted, without saying anything. But Liu Hanyan knelt down on both knees and said: "The little girl Liu visits the concubine." ”

The delicate and glutinous voice came into the ears of Prince Le's concubine, she raised her foot and stomped on the bottom of the sedan chair, and the sedan chair drivers understood and immediately stopped the sedan chair. Lifting the corner of the sedan curtain, Prince Le and Princess Le glanced out, and saw that the person who saluted was the mother and daughter of Ping'en Hou, so she smiled and said, "The two of you are exempt from courtesy, please get up." ”

Liu Hanyan raised her head when she heard this, and while holding her mother's arm, she looked at Prince Le's concubine with a smile in her eyes and said, "Concubine Xie." ”

Liu Hanyan is known as the first beauty in Yanjing, her appearance is naturally a little outstanding, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she laughs, and she has a touch of delicate and smart color compared to Su Ri, and the princess and concubine of Le can't help but secretly praise when she sees it: Sure enough, she is a beautiful girl.

Prince Le and the princess smiled and put down the sedan curtain, and Liu Hanyan immediately bent her knees and said, "The little girl sends the concubine to the concubine." ”

The sedan chair gradually walked away, Mrs. Ping Enhou glanced at her daughter suspiciously, her brows frowned slightly, it was inconvenient to speak in the palace at this time, so she suppressed the question that had reached her throat, thinking that she would ask in detail after returning home.

Prince Le and Princess Le changed to a small sedan chair at the gate of the second palace and soon arrived at Kunyi Palace. The queen got the report and greeted her in person, and the concubine had her own greetings when she met, and the queen came to the Dongnuan Pavilion with the hand of Prince Le's concubine, and said to her gently: "Brother and sister, the imperial sister-in-law has something to ask for your help." ”

Prince Le and Princess Le hurriedly said: "Don't say that, Niangniang, you just have to tell me if you have something, and I don't dare to use the word 'please' when you are again." ”

The queen took the hand of Prince Le and the princess, asked her to sit on the kang with her, and said affectionately: "Brother and sister, I remember that you invited General Gongsun's family to the palace a while ago? ”

Prince Le replied with a smile: "Yes, at that time, it was to ask for a doctor for Huan'er. ”

"Brother and sister, can you invite them to the palace again recently?" The queen didn't go around in circles, and directly put forward her own requirements.

Prince and Princess Le immediately smiled and said, "Of course, sister-in-law, do you think the arrangement is appropriate?" Do you want to leave the palace in person or let Yun'er out of the palace? ”

The queen smiled and said: "I want to get out of the palace, but it's not easy, and the movement is too big, I want to let Yu'er accompany his sister over, brother and sister, and let Yongning go over at that time, Yun'er Since she met Yongning, the two of them have become friends with Jinlan, and Yun'er is much more cheerful than before." It's still a blessing for my brother and sister! ”

Prince Le shook her head with a smile, and said in a slightly regretful tone: "Yongning is good, but there is no lady who looks good, and it is really sad to think about it!" ”

Prince Le, who has always wanted to transform Huangfu Yongning into a standard lady, has a complicated mood for Huangfu Yongning. On the one hand, she was grateful to Huangfu Yongning for bringing hope to her son, but on the other hand, Prince Le and Concubine Le felt that Huangfu Yongning's behavior was not elegant enough, and her every move was rude.

"Brother and sister, Yongning grew up at the border since she was a child, and no one around her taught her the norms of her daughter's family, she can't be blamed for this, when she passes the door, you can teach it slowly, that child is smart and clever, and he will definitely learn it." Because of the difficulty of living in the palace, the queen appreciates the free and easy generosity of Huangfu Yongning more than Prince Le, and she also hopes that the Dingbei Army will become the most staunch support of her son Qi Jingyu, so she naturally wants to say more good things for Huangfu Yongning.

"Well, I hope so! was afraid that Huan'er would protect her and refuse to let the concubine teach. Prince Le remembered that her son ran to the Dingbei Hou Mansion all day long, and a sour and astringent heart swelled up, and the words she said naturally had a sour taste.

The queen can't understand the sourness in the heart of Prince Le and Princess Le now, in fact, she spends her days in the palace like a year, and she doesn't have the heart to experience those irrelevant sourness, she is thinking all day long, all she thinks about is how to protect herself and how to survive.

"Brother and sister, I remember that you are almost past your birthday, right?" The queen smiled astringently and brought the topic back again.

Prince Le and Concubine Le hurriedly said: "Thank you Niangniang for remembering, the concubine is the third birthday of the first month of November. ”

The queen secretly calculated in her heart and said: "There are still seven days, brother and sister, it is better to set it on that day, and then ask Yu'er to accompany his sister to pay your birthday greetings." ”

Prince and Concubine Le hesitated slightly, and was silent for a moment before responding: "Okay, it will be set on that day, and the concubine will start to arrange it as soon as she returns home." ”

The queen held Prince Le's hand and said slightly apologetically: "Brother and sister, I know that you haven't had a birthday since A'an left, I ......" Prince Xianle died in November, so Prince Le's concubine didn't want to have a birthday since her husband's death.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, we are all living for the children now, as long as the children can live, we can do anything." Prince Le and Princess Le held the queen's hand with her backhand and comforted her softly.

"Brother and sister, thank you!" The queen looked at Prince Le and the princess, and her eyes were slightly red.

When the queen was talking to Prince Le and the princess, the mother and daughter of the Marquis of Ping also arrived at Ningcui Palace. Liu Guifei saw her more and more delicate niece, and there was an indescribable meaning in her eyes. She still hasn't made up her mind whether to "introduce" her niece, who is known as the first beauty in Yanjing, to Emperor Zhaoming.

Liu Hanyan didn't know that her aunt already had a different kind of thought, and she stepped forward with a smile to greet her. Liu Hanyan wanted to be the crown princess, and she thought that Liu Guifei had incomparable influence on Emperor Zhaoming, so she naturally wanted to try her best to tie up with this favorite concubine.

"Yan'er is really getting more and more beautiful, come here, let my aunt take a good look!" Liu Guifei smiled and beckoned, called Liu Hanyan to her side, and took her hand to take a closer look.

"Sister-in-law, how do you raise cigarettes, tsk, look at the delicate and white skin, what a jade person!" Liu Guifei was asking for her mother's family, so she naturally did not hesitate to say a few more words to praise her niece.

Mrs. Ping Enhou is most proud of a very beautiful daughter, listening to the sister-in-law's praise, the smile on her face couldn't help but deepen a little, and said with a smile: "It is said that the nephew is like an aunt, and Yan'er is also with the mother." ”

Liu Guifei smiled a little reservedly, and said to the palace maid beside her: "Go and get the pair of red gold heavy eaves dance and music pavilion hairpins that the emperor rewarded before." The maid of the palace should claim that it was, and soon came back with a one-foot square box.

Liu Guifei explained with a smile to her sister-in-law and nephew: "This is a new trick made by the manufacturing office, there is no outside, let's take it to Yan'er to play." ”

Mrs. Ping Enhou raised her eyes and saw that there was a pair of palm-sized pavilions and pavilion hairpins in the box, the hairpin head was cloud-shaped, there was a heavy eaves pavilion and five archways, and there was a maiko dancing in each archway, she had never seen a hairpin with ingenuity, and she couldn't help but be stunned, almost forgetting to breathe.

Liu Guifei smiled proudly, and the sense of superiority in her heart became even stronger.

Liu Hanyan saw this pair of exquisite pavilion hairpins, and the idea of being a little shaken suddenly became strong, and she secretly vowed that she must become the crown princess, and then become the queen, and be the most noble woman in Da Chen.

"Yan'er thanked Aunt Xie for the reward, I heard that the princess is not in good health, I don't know if Yan'er can visit the princess and talk to her to relieve her boredom." Liu Hanyan thanked the reward and made a request empathetically.

Liu Guifei was about to talk to her sister-in-law, so she smiled and boasted: "Fang'er has been thinking about Yan'er, go over quickly, Yang Liu, and send Miss Liu to see the princess." ”

After Liu Hanyan left, Liu Guifei stepped back and said to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, what did the eldest brother bring me into the palace?" ”

Mrs. Ping Enhou first handed a roll of silver tickets to Liu Guifei, and then said, "Niangniang, why did the emperor suddenly give the eldest princess a marriage?" That Gongsun Sheng is in charge of the forbidden army, and this family affair is too unfavorable for you and the three princes. Hou Ye was in a hurry when he got the news, he asked the concubine to sue sù Niangniang, and he couldn't let this family affair be done. He has found a way to work hard outside the palace, and you have to think of a way to work together in the palace! ”

Liu Guifei said angrily: "How can I not know, I only hate ...... This family affair was forced by the Queen Mother to give marriage to the emperor, unless ...... The usual approach is useless. That Gongsun eldest prince is just when his blood is strong, and this palace doesn't believe how clean he is, sister-in-law, you go back and sue Brother Sù, let him think of ruining the reputation of Gongsun eldest prince. In that case, I will be able to speak to the emperor. ”

Mrs. Ping Enhou said with some hesitation: "Niangniang doesn't know, the Gongsun family is very strict, and the two Gongsun sons have never done prodigal things, but they are afraid of ......."

Liu Guifei gritted her teeth and said: "This is not accurate, sister-in-law, I think the eldest brother will definitely have a way." By the way, I heard that Huangfu Jingde's father and daughter have lived in Gongsun's house for a while, you go back and tell Brother Sù to let him ...... like this."

I talked to Mrs. Pingenhou's ear for a long time, and I saw that Mrs. Pingenhou's face changed several times, sometimes blue, sometimes red, and sometimes white. Recently, she gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, according to Niangniang's words, the concubine will ask the master to arrange this matter when she goes back." ”

Liu Guifei nodded and said, "Well, you sue Brother Sù, you must be careful and careful, it is best to turn around a few more times, even if they check, they can't find our body." ”

Mrs. Ping Enhou said repeatedly: "This is certain, don't worry." ”

Liu Guifei nodded, sneered and said, "Okay, this palace is waiting for your good news." If this is done, I will definitely think of fighting for the position of the head of the household for my eldest brother. ”

Mrs. Pingenhou's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, and now the position of the head of the household department has not yet been finalized, but a household servant temporarily takes over the position of the head of the household department, if Ping Enhou can be appointed as the head of the household department...... It was as if Mrs. Pingenhou had seen countless treasures of gold and silver fly into their treasury.

The two sisters-in-law gossiped for a while, and then Liu Guifei ordered someone to summon Liu Hanyan and let their mother and daughter go out of the palace and return home. After leaving the palace, Mrs. Pingen asked her daughter quietly: "Yan'er, why are you suddenly so close to Prince Le and Princess Le today?" ”

Liu Hanyan said perfunctorily: "Mother, Prince Le's status as a concubine is precious, and her daughter has no grade, so when I see her, I should naturally pay a big salute, and I don't have any intimacy." ”

Mrs. Ping Enhou frowned and looked at her daughter, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Yan'er, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to Prince Le, right?" ”

Liu Hanyan immediately pouted and said: "Mother, what do you say, how could my daughter fall in love with that sick seedling, you know that your daughter has great ambitions." Just Prince Le, the princess, her daughter can't look down on her. ”

Seeing her daughter's fierce words, Mrs. Pingenhou hurriedly said in a relaxed voice: "Okay, I have great ambitions, you are a noble phoenix, and no prince is worthy of you." ”
