Chapter 101: No Worries
After leaving Yalanju, Chu Jiaorou thought about it and decided to go to Feng Jinglan to intercede, Gu Tianyan was punished because of her, and she felt that she had to save Gu Tianyan for her, otherwise she would have trouble sleeping.
I didn't want Chu Jiaorou to just come out of Yalan Ju, and before she was halfway there, she met Yang Pinglan, who went to Yingjiao Pavilion to find her.
"Sister, you're pregnant now, how can you walk around?" Yang Pinglan saw her in a hurry, and said with great concern: "Hey, did my sister go to Yalanju?" Where is this going? ”
After these years of contact and understanding, Chu Jiaorou already trusted Yang Pinglan very much, and had a deep friendship, and when she saw that it was her, she immediately stepped forward to hold her hand and confided in her: "Sister, I just found out that I was wrong before, and she was grounded by His Highness for three months, so I want to go to His Highness to intercede for her." ”
The fact that Chu Jiaorou drank tea in Yalanju and then fainted had already spread in the East Palace, and Yang Pinglan was naturally overjoyed when she found out.
She earnestly hoped that Chu Jiaorou and her children would have an accident, so Gu Qianyan would definitely have no good fruit to eat, so that the two most threatening competitors would be gone at once, and her chances of succeeding in becoming the crown princess would undoubtedly increase exponentially.
However, what disappointed her was that Chu Jiaorou and the child in her belly were all safe, and the facts proved that they had nothing to do with Gu Tianyan, and everything that happened just made her happy.
The matter came to light, and no matter how sorry Yang Pinglan felt in her heart, she could only helplessly go to Chu Jiaorou to understand the situation. What comforted her a little. The estrangement between Chu Jiaorou and Gu Qianyan because of this matter cannot be restored to the previous one no matter what.
At this moment, Yang Pinglan heard Chu Jiaorou say that Gu Tianyan was ordered to be grounded for three months by Feng Jinglan. I feel very happy, and I can't wait to sing a song to open my heart.
Hearing that Chu Jiaorou was actually going to intercede for Gu Qianyan, Yang Pinglan instinctively wanted to stop it, and the two of them finally had an estrangement, if they were allowed to release their previous suspicions, and Gu Qianyan would not be punished, wouldn't her flattery and flattery of Chu Jiaorou all these days be in vain?
hurriedly dissuaded: "Sister can't." His Royal Highness has just ordered Gu Liangdi to be grounded, if you go to intercede, won't it make Your Highness in a dilemma? ”
Chu Jiaorou asked puzzledly, "Sister." How do you say that? ”
"Sister, if you think about how much Your Highness loves you now, if you reject you, won't it make you feel sad. So how can he bear it? Yang Pinglan paused slightly. He also said, "But if he agrees to your request, won't the order be changed overnight, then how will he serve the people in the future?" Isn't it a dilemma, you say? ”
"Thank you sister for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost done something wrong again." Chu Jiaorou was suddenly startled, and couldn't help grabbing her hand and said, "My sister is really smart, so according to my sister's wishes, what should I do now?" ”
In her opinion. Yang Pinglan reminded her at a critical moment and weighed the pros and cons of the matter for her. At this moment, she seemed to regard Yang Pinglan as her most reliable and reliable person, and grabbed her hand tightly like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw.
After thinking for a while, Yang Pinglan reached out and patted the back of her hand gently, and said with a confident smile: "Although my sister can rest assured, it is certainly inappropriate to ask for mercy, but it may not be impossible to ask for a reward!" ”
"Reward?" Chu Jiaorou was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and said happily: "Sister is really amazing, Jiaorou admires you to death." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly went to find Feng Jinglan.
Yang Pinglan took a few steps to catch up with her, and said angrily: "Sister, you move slowly, and you don't look at what your situation is." ”
In fact, although Chu Jiaorou walked in a bit of a hurry, her steps were very steady, she turned her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister!" ”
Seeing Chu Jiaorou and the others gradually walking away, the maid who followed Yang Pinglan said curiously: "Master, the slave doesn't understand why you want to remind her, wouldn't it be better for her to hit her head and break the blood flow in front of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"What do you know?" Yang Pinglan glanced at her disdainfully, seemed to be in a good mood, and explained to her: "Although this Chu Jiaorou is very favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and her family background is good, she is a straw bag, so she is not a worry at all. Even if she becomes the crown princess, there will be opportunities and ways to slowly clean her up in the future. ”
The maid is also a clever person, and when she heard the sound of the strings, she knew the meaning of elegance, and hurriedly agreed: "The master is right, just now that Chu Jiaorou asked you to speak obediently in a few words, and I was so grateful that I didn't know what to say." ”
"Humph!" Yang Pinglan snorted coldly and said: "That Gu Tianyan is different, she eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and she knows some bewitching techniques, which makes Her Highness fascinated by her, and almost missed the early dynasty, and she collided with the emperor for her......"
The maid whispered: "Qi Hongshan seems to be executed because of her......"
"It's good if you know, don't talk around in the future, otherwise you won't have enough heads to cut off!" Yang Pinglan said in a deep voice.
The maid's face turned pale with fright, and the chick kept nodding her head as if she were pecking rice.
Yang Pinglan quickly spread the news that Gu Qianyan had been grounded for three months, so that there was no need to worry that Feng Jinglan would take back his life because someone interceded for Gu Tianyan.
A moment later, Chu Jiaorou came to Feng Jinglan's study.
Feng Jinglan heard that Chu Jiaorou was coming, he was startled, and personally discussed things with Mr. Qingchen and greeted him.
Before Chu Jiaorou had time to give a gift, she was held by Feng Jinglan's big hands, and said with concern: "Concubine Ai, now that you are pregnant, you don't need so many courtesies." ”
Although Feng Jinglan's words were about caring for the child in her belly, I have to say that Chu Jiaorou was quite happy to hear it.
Feng Jinglan's love for her, Chu Jiaorou has always had a personal experience these days, she smiled coquettishly, and said: "Your Highness, Jiaorou knows that you love your concubines, but the etiquette cannot be wasted!" Although Jiao Rou doesn't read much, she still knows some etiquette of the Great Xuanguo. If His Royal Highness doesn't salute because he is delicate and pregnant, then I'm afraid it will make people think. Delicate and pampered! ”
Feng Jinglan smiled noncommittally, carefully wrapped one hand around her waist, and said in a doting tone: "Why don't you say anything when you come over." It's all people who are pregnant with children, and they are still so reckless? ”
"The concubine knows it's wrong!" Chu Jiaorou said sweetly and apprehensively, "The concubine came here rashly because she wanted to ask His Highness for something." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Feng Jinglan said quietly.
Chu Jiaorou looked up at him and said guiltily: "Your Royal Highness, you will be grounded for three months because you were misunderstood by your concubines." The concubine didn't dare to ask His Highness to take back his fate, but just wanted to ask His Highness to give all the things that were rewarded to the concubine, is this okay? ”
Seeing Feng Jinglan's expression, he was stunned. His hand also let go of her slightly, and Chu Jiaorou's heart tightened inexplicably.
"This palace knows, everything will be done according to your wishes!" Feng Jinglan smiled slightly, he was indeed a little impulsive when he was grounded in Gu Tianyan. It's kind of funny when I think about it now. But he had to take back what he had said. That's impossible, anyway, this Gu Qianyan has always liked to make trouble out of nothing, and it's good to teach her a lesson casually.
Hearing Chu Jiaorou come over to intercede for Gu Qianyan, his heart had already softened, after all, Gu Qianyan suffered this time, and she should be compensated.
The two talked for a long time before Feng Jinglan asked someone to send Chu Jiaorou back to Yingjiao Pavilion.
Feng Jinglan sent Chu Jiaorou away, and was about to continue discussing things with Mr. Qingchen. only to find that he was surprisingly still stunned on the spot, and called him "sir" twice in a row. Only then did he suddenly come back to his senses.
Chu Jiaorou was anxious to tell Feng Jinglan her request just now, so she didn't shy away from Mr. Qingchen next to her, not to mention that she also knew that Mr. Qingchen was not an outsider, and she said it not a big deal, so she said it directly in front of him.
I heard it from Chu Jiaorou's mouth with my own ears that Gu Tianyan was grounded by Feng Jinglan for three months because of a misunderstanding, and Mr. Qingchen's mind was suddenly disturbed, and he didn't come back to his senses until Feng Jinglan called him twice by his side.
"Your Highness, what did you just say?" Mr. Qingchen looked at Feng Jinglan in the fog in front of him with some suspicion.
Feng Jinglan saw his expression and said thoughtfully: "Sir, are you worried about Gu Tianyan?" ”
"Panic!" Mr. Qingchen's expression was extremely complicated, he heard that Feng Jinglan had grounded Gu Tianyan for three months because of a misunderstanding, and he was only dissatisfied with the relationship between him and Gu Tianyan, so he deliberately used the topic to play.
Feng Jinglan pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Don't hide it, sir, except for Concubine Chu in the backyard of the East Palace, no one else in the palace has ever been close to him. As for the reason, presumably Mr. is already very clear. ”
"Your Highness, why are you doing this?" Mr. Qingchen said in surprise, his voice was as ethereal as a verdant bamboo, and he stood tall in a wide-sleeved green robe, looking more and more handsome, which was the gentleness and transparency that his daughter's family liked the most.
He knew that Feng Jinglan had always had only one woman in his heart, and that was Gu Lingxin, and Gu Lingxin seemed to be deeply in love with Feng Jinglan. Now Gu Lingxin has become the concubine of the fourth prince Feng Jinghuang, but Feng Jinglan still misses her, which makes Mr. Qingchen, who is not haunted by everything, also helpless and incomprehensible.
The emperor established Feng Jinglan as the crown prince early on, but over the years, he has become more and more fond of Yu Guifei and the mother and son of the four princes, and there is a tendency to overshadow the East Palace, and many neutral officials and forces in the court have gradually fallen to Yu Guifei's side.
The most unexpected thing is that the emperor originally acquiesced in the relationship between Gu Lingxin, the daughter of Prime Minister Gu Tiandao, and the crown prince Feng Jinglan, but at the last moment, a holy decree gave Gu Lingxin to the fourth prince Feng Jinghuang, which caused an uproar in Daxuan for a while.
As soon as the holy decree came out, Gu Tiandao and Gu Lingxin fought hard and refused to obey at first, but after all, they couldn't stand the pressure, and finally had to bow their heads and acquiesce to the matter.
Other people have the heart to speak fairly, but under the strong pressure of the emperor and the four princes of Yu Guifei, they can only choose to keep their mouths shut and protect themselves.
The queen and Feng Jinglan resisted in every possible way, but their arms couldn't twist their thighs, and in the end they could only accept the reality helplessly.
Since then, the wind in the court has fallen to the side of Yu Guifei and the four princes.
The fourth prince, Feng Jinghuang, has become a hot figure in the court, while the crown prince Feng Jinglan has become a marginal person.
After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the emperor obviously favors the jade concubine and the four princes, and most of the officials in the court are also on their side, and now the four princes have become close to Gu Lingxin, the prime minister of the ministers, and the power is even more powerful.
On the other hand, on Feng Jinglan's side, except for the name of a prince and a queen who doesn't speak much, there is nothing.
Just when everyone was in a hurry to leave the giant ship that was about to sink the crown prince Feng Jinglan, Mr. Qingchen appeared in front of him and proposed that the empress propose the idea of recruiting the emperor to enrich the harem for Feng Jinglan.
The emperor felt ashamed and naturally agreed to the empress's request.
The draft is just a name, and Mr. Qingchen's target is actually Chu Jiaorou, the young daughter of Pingxi General Chu Tianming.
By the time Yu Guifei and the others reacted to what was going on, it was already too late.
Without the marriage with Prime Minister Gu Tiandao and the backing of General Pingxi with heavy troops, a game can finally be saved, and Feng Jinglan has another foothold in the imperial court.
Feng Jinglan had already greatly admired Mr. Qingchen's personality, talent and strategy, and after this incident, he was even more convinced of him and became the most relied on confidant.
At this moment, in Feng Jinglan's heart, an insignificant Gu Qianyan is definitely not as important as Mr. Qingchen.
Although Mr. Qingchen fell in love with his woman, which made him faintly feel a little uncomfortable, if he had to choose one of the two, then he would not hesitate to abandon Gu Qianyan, so he would say it so clearly.
Feng Jinglan chuckled and said, "You also know that this palace has always disliked Gu Tianyan very much, if you really like her, this palace is definitely optimistic." ”
Mr. Qingchen was stunned, hesitated for a while, and said: "I really appreciate her character, and I think she has some similarities with me before, that's all." ”
He didn't know if Feng Jinglan was testing him, or if he really wanted to fulfill him, and he didn't know Gu Tianyan's intentions, so he naturally wouldn't rashly say too much, so as not to embarrass each other in the future.
"In that case, let's talk about it later." Hearing him say this, Feng Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. Although he really didn't like Gu Qianyan very much, he really wanted to let her leave completely, and he didn't know why he seemed to be a little reluctant.
When Mr. Qingchen saw his expression, he decided that he was not as casual as he said to Gu Tianyan, so he didn't say anything more. (To be continued.) )
