Chapter XVII: The Birth of Imperial Ambition
The three people in the main hall, the concubine is still wearing a luxurious concubine dress, but her beautiful appearance does not look weak, she is full of momentum, she sits on the top and looks down at Aunt Pei who is embarrassed below, "This palace guesses that you are not here to send death to this scene today, right?" Say it, say your purpose. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mama Lan, who was standing on the side, glared at Aunt Pei, eager to tear her apart.
Aunt Pei pulled her loose hair behind her ears, sorted out the wrinkled clothes that were pulled, and then knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed slowly, "Guifei Niangniang, the slave maid is not for anything else, just to keep His Highness, now the slave and maid look at the situation in the palace, whether the concubine Niangniang can still make His Highness safe and sound, the slave and maid are not sure, so today the slave and maid risked death to make this scene." ”
The concubine's face was pale, and she was directly said that her power in the palace had been greatly reduced, and it was difficult to keep her son and herself, which was really difficult for the concubine who had always been proud to accept, but it was true, she held back her unkempt anger and asked Aunt Pei, "Then can you protect my son to grow up safely?" This palace doesn't say anything else, as long as this palace is here, my son and this palace will not be oppressed. ”
Aunt Pei was shocked when she heard this, she raised her head sharply and stared at the concubine, "I hope the concubine will do what she says." ”
Mama Lan immediately scolded angrily, "How does the noble concubine do things, how can you be a slave and maid?" ”
Aunt Pei didn't look at Mama Lan, let alone refute, she stared at the concubine with a smile, waiting for the concubine's answer.
The concubine didn't look away, her eyes showed firmness, "In this palace, in addition to this concubine's honorable position, only my son is left, if something happens to my son, this palace will only have hatred and a shell left in this palace, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell." ”
"Master?" Mama Lan looked at the concubine with a solemn face worriedly, she knew that Xiao Ping had a very heavy weight in the concubine's heart, but she didn't expect it to be as heavy as her own life.
Aunt Pei slowly grinned, "The concubine is so honest, and the slave and maid are not pretentious, as long as the concubine and the maid agree to the slave and maid a condition, let the slave and maid return to His Highness, and the slave and maid must always guard His Highness." ”
"No way, you're delusional."
As soon as Mama Lan reprimanded, the concubine waved her hand to interrupt her, but she still looked at Aunt Pei, "Then what price do you pay?" ”
"The slave will never tell the truth again, and the slave is willing to give the slave and maid the hands of the slave and maid to the concubine Niangniang." She took out the roster from her sleeve and raised it above her head, "Please fulfill the concubine." ”
The voice was loud, and the eyes were full of pleading.
"Aren't you afraid that Bengong will take the roster and then refuse to admit it?" The concubine asked suspiciously.
Aunt Pei smiled confidently, "They only recognize slaves and maids, only His Royal Highness, and the concubine will not move." ”
Only then did the concubine suddenly realize, she walked up to Aunt Pei, took the roster, flipped through it, and obviously tore out a few pages, "Why not all?" What about the torn pages? ”
Aunt Pei said in her heart, of course, it was with His Royal Highness, but what she said was, "The slave maid must always keep a hand, otherwise it will all be known by the concubine Niangniang, and the slave and maid will not be sure." ”
"Heh, you're wary." The concubine sneered, "This palace can promise you to let you return to my son, but your mouth is closed for me." ”
Aunt Pei was overjoyed, her eyes lit up, and she kowtowed loudly, "Concubine Xie is complete." ”
"Go down, and remember not to come out again."
After speaking, the concubine took the roster and turned around and went to the inner hall, and Mama Lan glared at the happy Aunt Pei with a smile, and naturally followed.
Aunt Pei got up from the ground, pushed open the door of the main hall, looked at the blue sky, sighed, and thought to herself, Concubine Li, do you see it? The slave and maid are finally going back to His Highness's side, and the slave and maid will not live up to your trust, and will not let anyone hurt His Highness.
Inner Sanctum
The concubine was half-lying on the paddle, flipping through the roster, and Mama Lan was beside her and stopped talking.
"Smack."
The concubine closed the roster and asked, "Just say whatever you want, don't look embarrassed, I look uncomfortable." ”
After hesitating for a long time, Mama Lan spoke, "The master really wants Aunt Pei to serve His Highness closely, aren't you afraid that if she talks nonsense?" After all, Concubine Li's mother is our own hand......"
She stopped talking again, but the concubine knew what she meant, it was just that she was afraid that Aunt Pei would tell Xiao Ping the truth, which would cause Xiao Ping to alienate her.
But the concubine sighed helplessly and said, "How long can this matter be hidden?" Aunt Pei doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that the rest of the people who don't want to see me or want to see jokes come and tell the five princes, after all, I am no longer the concubine in the palace who can't be provoked, and now I am a nominal concubine who is not favored by the emperor who has given up in my family. ”
Mama Lan looked at the concubine distressedly, and frowned at this matter, "Then master, what should we do?" ”
"Alas, let it be, I also want to know that in the hearts of the fifth prince, is it the important Concubine Li who gave birth to him and went only six days ago, or is it my adoptive mother who raised him with her own hands is more important."
After speaking, both of them fell silent, and the concubine picked up the roster and flipped through it again.
At this time, Xiao Ping was not in a safe position to stay in the side hall according to the orders of the concubine, he was in a very good mood today, and soon he had his own manpower, although there were few and even fewer things that could be done, but after all, he had his own team, and some things that looked simple but were very important in the long run could finally be done, so his mood was very happy, like the clouds dissipated, and he saw the sun again, and then, for the first time, he took people to the imperial garden with a good mood.
In early spring, a hundred flowers are blooming, butterflies are dancing, bees are buzzing and busy, the sun is sprinkled with golden and warm sunshine, a piece of spring is brilliant, Xiao Ping is here with a bright smile jumping, followed by Ping'er.
"Hey, is it the fifth brother?"
A steady and somewhat contrived majestic voice came from behind, and Xiao Ping looked back, and one of the people in the pile was very conspicuous, because he was wearing bright yellow clothes.
"Brother Prince."
Xiao Ping was ignorant and happy, and then looked up at the back of the crown prince Xiao Feng, "Huh? Fourth brother, are you also there? ”
Xiao Shan jumped in front of Xiao Ping lively, deliberately put his paw on Xiao Ping's head, and played with Xiao Ping's soft hair, "Fifth brother's hair is so easy to touch, like silk." ”
Xiao Ping smirked, didn't resist, rolled his eyes in his heart, touched people's heads and played with other people's hair as soon as they met, is it really good?
"Fourth brother, don't make trouble."
The prince opened his mouth majestically and admonished, but Xiao Feng, who was only twelve years old, still did not have the true majesty of the prince, just like he pretended to be steady at twelve, and the majesty at this time was just strong and pretentious.
But Emperor Qingping named him the crown prince, he is the prince, although it is contrived majesty, no one will challenge it, for example, at this moment, Xiao Shan withdrew his hand with a hippie smile, and was busy making amends, which is very funny, who would have thought that this funny prince is a figure as intelligent as a demon, even Xiao Ping didn't see it.
Xiao Ping sighed in his heart at this time, power is really a good thing, it can make everyone submit, although the person who has it is not qualified. No wonder the scholars and doctors have studied hard for it for ten years, the palace concubines have fought for it, and the emperor has been dealing with hundreds of officials for it, so as a prince, he will definitely chase it in the future, just like a sentence: If you don't want to be a general, you are not a good soldier, and if you don't want to be an emperor, you are not a qualified prince.
