117. Conspiracy

How can this please the emperor, and when Mama Luo comes back, I don't know what will happen.

"Niangniang, don't you want to invite Xiangye again." Yi'an persuaded. Now the only one who can say that he can move his mother is the old man, and it must not be too late, if it is not for the persuasion of Mama Luo, maybe something irreparable will be done.

"Ugh." Concubine Yi sighed, why didn't she want to see her father, but now she has no rights in the harem, how easy it is to meet her ministers, and she has just been punished by the emperor, so she doesn't dare to act rashly. I think I've only seen my sister-in-law once in the past three months, and I brought the words with me, but there is no follow-up.

"It's not easy to even see my sister-in-law now, so it's not easy to see my father." Concubine Yi said, holding the handkerchief and crying again.

"Niangniang, it will be your birthday in five days, and when the time comes, in the name of this, it will still be possible to meet the old man, at least I can meet my sister-in-law." Seeing that Niangniang was just crying blindly, Yi'an couldn't help but remind her.

Yes, I've been confused for more than two months, April 5 is my birthday, it's okay to see my family, and April 27 is my father's birthday, I can see my father in the name of worshipping my birthday, and the Dragon Boat Festival is for my family to meet, and then May 15 is my mother's birthday, and it's the most convenient one or two months to do the next thing. Concubine Yi stopped crying at the cemetery, and a long-lost smile appeared on her worried face.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, Mama Luo is back." Grandpa Chang ran in excitedly.

Then, an old woman was picked up by two little palace maids. "Niangniang, the old slave thought that she would never see Niangniang again." With a wail, he fell to his knees.

In just three months, this old slave who had followed him for thirty years looked ten years old, his hair was full of green silk turned gray, his originally ruddy and full face was shriveled and crawling with wrinkles, his hands were hanging on his chest with a splint, and even his back was already rickety, and his originally firm spirit became sluggish. "Mama Luo." Concubine Yi screamed and cried.

Yi'an persuaded this and that, and it took a long time before he gradually stopped his grief.

"Niangniang, the old slave has thought about it, since this Yilan is so ignorant, then don't blame us for being ruthless, Niangniang, now we can only rely on Xiangye to get rid of this demon girl quickly, and we will have a chance to live." Mama Luo was still kneeling on the ground, so she gritted her teeth and said. Obviously, he has been slapped a lot during this time, and his speech is a little slurred, but he can't hide the endless hatred in his words.

Yi An sighed beside him, this was expected, Mama Luo must have taken revenge after she came out, and she never thought that she would directly point the finger at Qiu Yilan in the Sixth Master's Mansion. This coincides with Niangniang's thoughts, and in the future, they will not easily change their minds even if they are persuaded by Xiangye.

How can the six princes be easy to provoke, the two of them will cause trouble if they deal with a woman who is scheming and deeply favored by the six princes so nakedly. Yi'an didn't dare to say anything, so he could only pin his hopes on Xiangye.

"Mama Luo, don't cry yet, it's important to heal." Yi'an replaced a little palace maid in the past, and together with Chang Gonggong, it took a lot of effort to pick up Mama Luo from the ground.

carried Mama Luo to the hut where she used to rest, and Concubine Yi also followed, "Niangniang, it is serious to let the girl serve Mama to freshen up and bandage her wounds, and if you have anything to say, you will have an opportunity to say it in the future." Seeing that Concubine Yi still wanted to speak, Yi'an hurriedly persuaded her.

Yi'an was right, although Concubine Yi had a full stomach to say, but seeing Mama Luo like this, she could only rub her eyes and retreat.

The injury is actually not serious, but the treatment has been delayed, and now I have to suffer some hardships. After a few days of rest, Mama Luo has basically recovered.

"Niangniang, tomorrow is your birthday, although this time I have already ordered not to Zhang Luo, but after all, it can't be too simple, do you think you need to prepare something?" Mama Luo was supported by Yi'an, and accompanied Concubine Yi for a walk in the imperial garden, asking as she walked.

"Tomorrow's mourning family only wants to see their family, and no one else wants to see anyone. If they come to give gifts, they will accept them, and if they don't, forget it. "Yi Guifei is not interested.

Tomorrow is the day of the birthday, and in previous years, it was already full of guests two days earlier, where can you still come out for a walk. But this year is good, until now, even the emperor's reward has not come, the foreign women celebrate their birthdays to see the direction of the wind, and the emperor is still so cold after being punished for three months, they naturally don't want to touch this brow. A few people who were close to Xiangye sent congratulatory gifts, but people didn't come with all kinds of excuses, and most of them didn't even have congratulatory gifts.

Many of the sisters in the palace came to congratulate, but the concubines all returned on the grounds that they were not in good health, and they didn't see any of them.

"When Niangniang was beautiful, I wanted to revolve around Niangniang every day, and now it is the time for Niangniang to use them, but she hid and disappeared." Mama Luo said hatefully.

"Mama." Yi An hurriedly stopped Mama Luo from talking further, and glanced at Concubine Yi worriedly.

"Hey." Concubine Yi sighed heavily, glanced at Yi'an gratefully, didn't say anything, and walked towards the dormitory.

Sure enough, on the second day, except for Xiangguo's daughter-in-law and Concubine Yi's sister-in-law, who was invited into the palace, all the people who came to pay their respects to her birthday were told that Niangniang was in poor health and could not afford to entertain guests, so they did not meet at all.

"Ill? I'm afraid I'm hiding from seeing people without a face. I heard that this year, the emperor didn't even send out a normal birthday reward. ”

"This concubine has heard that she has been confined to the dormitory since the New Year, how many months has it been, hasn't she been allowed to go?"

"Concubine Yi is bent on being a queen, this time she is ruthless, and I don't know if there is a bright day. It seems that the wind direction of this chestnut country is about to change. ”

For a while, there was everything in the market, so it was not lively.

Shen Shi, who had finished a day's business, was sitting in the lobby of Yi Guifei's dormitory, sipping the fragrant tea that the concubine had personally brewed for him, with a comfortable and satisfied face.

And Concubine Yi withdrew all her entourage and looked anxiously at her father, who was calm and relaxed.

Da Xiangguo is sixty-five years old this year, but he is well-maintained, although his hair and beard have turned a little gray, he is still in good spirits and does not look old at all. Compared with the concubine Niangniang, who has been depressed for this time, she is even more refreshed.

"Daughter, my father always tells you to have a normal heart, usually cultivate yourself more, guard against impatience in case of trouble, and not be shocked by humiliation, but although you are already in the harem, you still haven't kept your father's words in mind." Sangkook put down the cup in his hand and sighed.

Concubine Yi didn't answer, but she couldn't suppress her whimper.

"Actually, it's not easy to get rid of that Qiu Yilan? But you are a dignified concubine, spend means to deal with a servant girl who is nothing, you can't get any benefit if you succeed, if it is known by others, it won't make people laugh off their big teeth? How will you gain a foothold in this harem in the future? "Xiangguo is a little hateful that iron does not become steel.

"Father." Concubine Yi glanced at Xiangguo cautiously. She is the eldest daughter of Xiangguo, since she was a child, she has watched her father step by step, and she is in charge of the harem under the support and teaching of her father. "It's not that I'm cautious, I have to go against that Yilan, but you should see that the sixth prince is in the limelight now, and even the third master has a faint intention of retreating. And only by the side of this flower Wulone, we have no one who can speak. "It is advisable to consider the words of the concubine.

She paused and sighed, "You have always wanted to marry the eldest brother's daughter to him and become the princess of the main family, I have asked countless times, but he just refused." Now there is another Qiu Yilan, and I don't know what kind of magic she has used, the prince and the emperor are to her. ”

Before Concubine Yi finished speaking, Xiang Guo waved her hand, "I generally know what happened in the year, but she is the prince and young master, and I heard that she also invented a useful thing for the emperor, what is it called a mirror, which is very appreciated by the third master in front of her, and she seems to be a person with real knowledge." "To be the prime minister of the country, you must have some vision, Xiangguo really has a bit of love for talents in ordinary times, and he has really recommended many useful people for the country in the past few decades.

"Father, I'm afraid of being here." How could Concubine Yi not understand her father, and in a few days, she had already thought about what she was going to say with Mama Luo, "If she weren't for this prince and young master, it would be fine, but her position is too terrifying." Now the young princes are all suitable for her teachers and students, even if they are adult princes, they also have children and grandchildren who get along with her day and night, and she is a fox who likes men. This will go on for a long time, and when these princes and grandchildren grow up again, she will not be able to call the wind and rain in the palace? Speaking of this, there was a hint of ruthlessness in Concubine Yi's tone, "Even my eighteen princes, when I came to ask for peace two days ago, I also mentioned her goodness. ”

This poked at the sore spot of Xiangguo, all officials have their own interest groups, and what they are most afraid of is that the opponent cultivates their own interest groups, so as to empty their own rights. What's more, princes and grandsons are generally assigned positions at the age of thirteen or fourteen, following experienced ministers to run errands and study, and several princes are about to reach the age of studying and running errands, and Yilan's unintentional teacher-student relationship makes Lao Xiangguo feel threatened.

Seeing her father frowning and bowing her head and groaning, Concubine Yi knew that her words had an effect, and hurriedly continued, "Coupled with the limelight of the Sixth Prince's current appearance, how could those noble families with slightly shallow eyelids not move closer to him, the two of them are by the emperor's side inside and outside, and the emperor's body is bone. Speaking of this, Concubine Yi's voice was much lower, and even Xiang Guo, who was sitting next to her, couldn't hear it clearly, but everyone understood what it meant, and the emperor's body was not as good as before.
