Chapter 15 If you can't eat the grapes, you destroy the vine
When Murong Yi was contented and walked on the way home with his beloved little man in his arms.
On the corner of the street, there was a concubine who had been staying in the deep palace, during the "prosperous era" of Lingxiao Kingdom, every concubine was allowed to have a chance to leave the palace, and Concubine Ming was idle in the palace and had nothing to do, so she planned to come out to breathe.
But I didn't expect to bump into a little couple, looking at the two people's affection and love, Concubine Ming couldn't help but skip a trace of sadness, although she is a relative, she should at least live a normal person's appearance, right? But she has been in the palace for half a year, and in the past half a year, the emperor has never touched her, which makes her the laughing stock of the entire harem.
Although she is in the position of concubine, it is just an empty title, and the concubines under her position dare to bully themselves blatantly, but there is one thing that is very strange, that is, no matter how others bully themselves, the palace maids and eunuchs in their palace are still very good to themselves, and there is no sign of stepping on the low and bowing high, which makes Concubine Ming feel very happy.
In the past half a year, Concubine Ming has lost confidence, she has considered her royal brother as an undercover agent many times, and the life she longed for now is simply very different.
For countless nights, Concubine Ming constantly reflected on herself, how could she fall in love with Murong Duanlei at that time? I only remember that when I was still a princess of Jinsheng, Murong Duanlei had been to Jinsheng as a friendly country, and when I looked at him who was tall and handsome and high-spirited, I couldn't help but fall, and now that I think about it, I feel that my previous self was really ridiculous.
At least if you didn't run away from marriage at that time, she would be a genuine princess Yi now, and it doesn't matter if she gets favored or not, at least her identity is there, and no one dares to bully herself so casually.
I wonder if that little girl is still alive and well? The battle in King Yi's Mansion should be similar to the inner courtyard of the palace, right?
He instructed the people around him, "Go and investigate who those two people are." "Looking at what they are wearing, they are definitely rich and powerful.
"Yes!" The people around him immediately nodded and executed.
About a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Ming, who was drinking tea in the restaurant, got an answer that shocked her.
"Yu Niangniang, the two people on the street today are today's Yi Wang Ye and Yi Wang Princess! And Prince Yi only married Princess Yi, and there were no other side concubines in the house. ”
Concubine Ming's hand holding the tea shook obviously, those two people just now were Prince Yi and Princess Yi? That girl is the one who married in place of herself?
The trembling hand picked up the teacup and made an obvious "bump bump" sound, how could it be? How could that be her? In half a year, has she grown from a little girl to such a slim beauty? Recalling the loving atmosphere exuded by her and Prince Yi, Concubine Ming was furious, "Bang! With a bang, the teacup in his hand suddenly became fragments!
It's all because of my obsession with Murong Duanlei at the beginning, I missed Murong Yi, and when I saw Murong Yi on the street today, it was by no means inferior to Murong Duanlei's appearance, the peerless elegance of the world, and the gentleness and doting revealed in her eyes, Concubine Ming's heart was unbalanced!
Why! Why! This gentleness and satisfaction originally belonged to her! Now that it is good, not only can I not get the attention of the emperor, but I am also ridiculed and excluded in this harem, they are good, they are there to love and love, and they are happy; It's all your own! I can't get it, why did I let you take advantage of it!
Concubine Ming, who was jealous, flipped the table in a rage: "Go back to the palace!" ”
Concubine Ming, who returned to the palace, began to sit and lie still, and it was not pleasing to the eye, but her status in the palace, but she had to let herself "endure humiliation", what I couldn't get, others didn't want to get! What's more, she's just a beggar on the side of the road!
After learning that the "prosperous world" was in March, it was the palace feast, and Concubine Ming suddenly had a plan, that was the time to let Princess Yi enter the palace openly, and hold a feast in the court, not afraid of not being able to touch her, when the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless!
When Concubine Ming was planning her revenge plan, a little eunuch walked out of the palace and headed in the direction of Murong Duanlei's imperial study.
"Your Majesty, after Concubine Ming left the palace yesterday, she bumped into the loving Prince Yi and Princess Yi, and after the servants investigated their identities, Concubine Ming was furious, and now she is planning how to attack Princess Yi at the palace banquet after March." The little eunuch raised his head after the report, it was Gonggong Zhou in the palace of Concubine Ming.
"Well, okay, I know, you pay attention to her every move, don't show flaws, remember to serve her respectfully, obey her, and don't let him notice anything wrong, you know?" Murong Duanlei's eyes suddenly became calm, and there was another deep meaning.
"Yes!"
After Gonggong Zhou left, Murong Duanlei summoned the secret guard, "At the palace banquet after March, send two more people to protect the safety of Prince Yi and Princess Yi, if the lurking An Shenghao's people do not appear, you can protect them in the dark, remember not to startle the snake!" ”
"Yes! Subordinates understand! ”
Concubine Ming, who was thinking about things, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately summoned all the palace people in her palace to conduct a roll call investigation, and the result was that Father-in-law Zhou was not in the palace alone, and Father-in-law Zhou was the consul in his palace, if he ~~
"What about Father-in-law Zhou?" Concubine Ming stood on a high place and looked at everyone condescendingly.
"Back to Niangniang, Father-in-law Zhou went to the imperial dining room." An absolutely respectful voice came from below.
"Oh? What did he do in the Imperial Dining Room? How long have you been there? Concubine Ming looked at her meaningfully.
"I went to get the bird's nest red date cake that Niangniang loves to eat, and I went for about a quarter of an hour." That respectful voice, without any waves, revealed absolute loyalty.
Concubine Ming nodded, "Okay, I know, let's go by ourselves, if anyone sees Gonggong Zhou, let him come to the palace!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone was doing their work in an orderly manner, and they couldn't help but be a little more careful in their hearts, if Concubine Ming was suspicious, it was estimated that it would be difficult for His Majesty to deal with him.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Gonggong Zhou appeared in the palace of Concubine Ming with a lunch box, a little palace maid walked up and whispered something, Gonggong Zhou nodded, waved his hand and went down.
Zhou's father-in-law, who was carrying a food box, walked to the door and said loudly: "Slave Zhou Donghai knocks on Niangniang!" ”
"Come in!"
Gonggong Zhou stood respectfully in front of Concubine Ming, letting her look at herself: "I don't know what the important thing is for Niangniang to summon the slaves?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the palace is hungry, I don't know what good things Grandpa Zhou brought from the imperial dining room?" Concubine Ming's eyes stared at the food box, and then at Zhou Donghai, wanting to see a trace of the truth from his face.
"It turned out that the mother was hungry, so the slave took some bird's nest red date cake that Niangniang loves to eat from the imperial dining room, as well as the newly made honey bean cake, red bean crisp, and lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake that is good for the mother's health, and jujube paste yam cake." Father-in-law Zhou said and brought out the snacks in the food box one by one.
Concubine Ming saw several plates of dim sum on the table, and immediately most of her suspicions had been dispelled, looking at these dim sums, Concubine Ming finally asked a question that had been bothering her: "Father-in-law Zhou, there is something unknown in this palace, this palace has been unfavored since entering the palace, and the people in other palaces are also cold to this palace, why are you so good to this palace?" ”
Gonggong Zhou led the empty food box, stood aside, and smiled slightly: "There is no reason for this, to do things in a palace, you have to keep your duty, serve your master well, the master is bullied, that is the incompetence of us as slaves, besides, Niangniang, you are still young, some are in the future, it is not easy to survive in this harem, only the master is good, the slave can be good, we serve you with our hearts, but also to give ourselves a future!" ”
Listening to Father-in-law Zhou's respectful words, Concubine Ming completely let go of the mustard in her heart and nodded, "In the future, Father-in-law Zhou will help the palace to take care of things in the palace, you go down!" ”
"Yes!" Father-in-law Zhou came out with an empty food box and said to the busy people in the yard: "Work hard, don't be lazy!" ”
"Yes!" The neat sound of the courtyard sounded, and everyone smiled, and Gonggong Zhou said this, which means that Concubine Ming's doubts have been completely eliminated, and now I am not afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to pay the difference.
At this time, Concubine Ming Niangniang had completely trusted the people in her palace and led by Gonggong Zhou, so she was relieved to boldly start to implement her plan, and Gonggong Zhou also began to "make suggestions" for Concubine Ming, for the "bright future" of Niangniang in the future.
With the "full help" of Zhou Gonggong, Concubine Ming was re-canonized as "Ming Guifei" by the emperor in the imperial garden because of her meritorious service in protecting the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother seems to have changed her attitude towards Ming Guifei because of her meritorious protection, and for this almost smooth rhythm, Ming Guifei attributed it to the advice of Zhou Gonggong, and she was even more relieved of the people in her palace.
And a certain couple in King Yi's Mansion are making every effort to prepare for the palace banquet in three months, Murong Yi is handling official business, and Shui Yi'er is desperately practicing playing the piano, the reason is because in case they are selected to perform at the feast, they will be embarrassed if they can't take it out at that time, and they will lose the face of King Yi's Mansion.
When Shui Yi'er got the news, her little face suddenly collapsed, God, how can there be this one, you have the ability to hold a lottery, how can there be anyone who is drawn, who will perform the show?
In the next month, Murong Yi could hardly see Shui Yi'er's figure, either he heard the sound of the guqin, or he went out with Mo Qianyin, day by day without home, the famous Prince Yi, looking at his little wife who went out early and returned late every day, asked her why she went, she didn't say, she had to ask Mo Qianyin, but Mo Qianyin said: "I promised your little princess to keep it secret, and I can't break my trust!" Anyway, don't worry, I definitely didn't take her to some place of fireworks! ”
Murong Yi has been quite depressed this month, looking at the little princess who is half tired and dead every day, she is embarrassed to lose her temper, the key is, how can she be willing to lose her temper with her! The people sent to investigate, because their skills were not in a hurry, they were all "sent" back.
There is no way Mo Qianyin's anti-reconnaissance consciousness is too strong, he wants to investigate but unfortunately he is not available, the sad Yi Wang Ye has become the masseur of his little princess, in addition to feeling distressed in his heart, he is jealous, Mo Qianyin has been tossing with the little princess for half a month and has lost weight into the original elegance, which makes Yi Wangye, who stayed at home to approve official documents, very insecure, even when he was working, he was thinking, what should he do if his little princess let him be abducted?
