Chapter 208: Zhu Huaying
When seeing Emperor Zhou Hui's attitude towards Concubine Xian, many people will really think that Emperor Zhou Hui loves Concubine Xian, it seems that in this huge six palaces, Concubine Xian is already a favored family. But anyone who knows even the slightest bit of the truth will immediately look sarcastic when they hear this idea, because they know that it is simply impossible.
Let's not talk about the new concubines who have been favored by Emperor Zhou Hui recently, how young and beautiful they are, let's just say that in the recent period, after Concubine De was relocated back to Yuanyang Palace because Princess Dongji was pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, Emperor Zhou Hui stayed there for several days in succession.
And Concubine De's return to favor, the momentum is also **** is rising rapidly, and there is a trend of not putting the palace in the eyes, but I don't know if it is because King Li has no relationship with the emperor, Emperor Zhou Hui is actually unrestrained about this, even today's Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet, Concubine De can't say that she won't come, and she doesn't give Concubine Xian, the banquet person, to gain face.
But Concubine De dared to do this, but it was just a connivance of taking advantage of Emperor Zhou Hui's one eye and closing one eye, so Concubine Xian didn't let people go to Yuanyang Palace to urge him today. But Concubine De's behavior really made Concubine Xian's face a little unbearable, so that Emperor Zhou Hui couldn't help but compensate her.
Therefore, Emperor Zhou Hui's current behavior, in the eyes of people who know the truth, is just because he wants to appease Concubine Xian, after all, in addition to Xie Jing, the king of Chu, Xie Yan, the king of Li, and the third prince Xie Wen. Among the rest of Emperor Zhou Hui's princes, the oldest is only about ten years old, so they are still a group of childish little princes. It is unlikely that Emperor Zhou Hui will make them the prince of the future country.
But now among the three princes who are of the right age, there is no need to say much about Xie Jing, the king of Chu, how much Emperor Zhou Hui dislikes him, it is really about to be known to everyone in the world; As for Xie Yan, the king of Li, compared to Xie Jing, he had nothing to do with the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty as early as when he married Princess Dongji.
That is now among the three princes who are the most suitable age. King Li is completely impossible, and the King of Chu is extremely disliked by Emperor Zhou Hui, and there are even speculations. If one day, even Coco Xie has an accident, and only the eldest son Xie Jing is left among the three oldest princes, Emperor Zhou Hui is most likely not to reluctantly make him the crown prince. Skip him instead. Choose one of the ten and twelve princes who are still young under the knees of the noble concubine and the concubine.
Although these are mostly jokes, it can be seen from them how much Emperor Zhou Hui dislikes him, the eldest son of the emperor who occupies the throne and occupies the eldest son, and Xie Jingke is still the only concubine of Emperor Zhou Hui!
This kind of dislike is really extreme to the extreme, so the king of Chu Xie Jing and the third prince Xie Wen stood together to compare, who would Emperor Zhou Hui appoint as the lord of the East Palace. That couldn't be more obvious, even if Xie Jing, the only legitimate heir to the throne of the Great Zhou, still exists. But in fact, even if the hundred officials in the court don't say it, they all know it in their hearts, and Emperor Zhou Hui has already chosen his heir to the throne.
Under this kind of premise, Emperor Zhou Hui of course attaches great importance to Concubine Xian, so when he found out that she had been snubbed recently, Emperor Zhou Hui would make up for her elsewhere, although this is not necessarily what Concubine Xian wants, but how could Emperor Zhou Hui care?
"Thank you for the gift of the saint, the concubine really likes this dance very much, so with the holy golden mouth, the concubine will not have to worry when she wants to watch this dance in the future." Concubine Xian was very mocking in her heart, but her face was full of smiles, and she was warm and joyful, so that outsiders had to envy the affection of Emperor Zhou Hui and Concubine Xian.
"Concubine Ai is polite." Concubine Xian's smile and answer at this time were of course the most satisfying for Emperor Zhou Hui.
But when Concubine Xian watched Emperor Zhou Huidi get better and better, the corners of her mouth also raised a slight intriguing arc, but it quickly disappeared, and she turned her head and quietly watched the end of the Nine Heavens Dance, and then greatly rewarded the musicians and dancers, and the flower hall became lively again, but of course the conversation was all around the sycophants of Zhou Huidi.
It's just that in these sycophants, Xu Youshan just looked at the fact that she was not close to Emperor Zhou Hui, at least compared to Xie Wen, who was arranged by Emperor Zhou Huidi to sit beside her, Xie Jing's position at this time was really far from Emperor Zhou Hui. But Xu Youshan was still able to find him through the crowd at a glance, and when he found that he was quietly looking for something, the corners of Xu Youshan's mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a big smile.
"Come on, stop giggling, now is not the time." Xu Yourong on the side coldly interrupted Xu Youshan's beautiful mood.
"Eldest sister, you can't be like this, how can you just because Nie Liugongzi is on an errand elsewhere today, you can't see him ruining other people's good mood like this, this is very unstandard, okay?" Xu Youshan complained to Xu Yourong dissatisfiedly, and today's Nie Suhyun was indeed not in the palace because of an errand and went to Anling on an errand, but because of this, Xu Yourong, who thought that even if Nie Suhyun was on an errand today, he could meet him, was very unhappy.
"Yes." Xu Mingming, who could only see Qi Xuan at this time, was now on Xu Youshan's side, and he disagreed with Xu Yourong's sour grape psychology.
"How can I have, you two don't talk nonsense, I'm just stating the facts, okay?" Xu Yourong immediately jumped up and refuted like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, but Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan ignored her at all, and just looked at Qi Xuan and Xie Jingxing, and looked at them from head to toe nymphomaniac again, before Xu Yourong was reluctantly pulled back to his thoughts.
"Eh, I said that you two are enough, it's a very critical time, okay, how can you still be there and just care about nymphomaniac, don't you two know that the person is very likely to have set his sights on Wen Ya now, although I am not very interested in whether she suffers or not, but Sister Shan'er, you don't care?" Xu Yourong felt that ordinary tricks could no longer subdue Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan, who were now obsessive, so he decided to make a big move.
And Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan after listening to Xu Yourong's words. Finally, he moved back to the gaze that was glued to Qi Xuan and Xie Jing with some senses, because of their current seats, they had an advantage in the angle. So they can see Xie Jing and them, but Xie Jing and the others can't see Xu Youshan and them, otherwise, if the eyes of the two parties intersect, it is estimated that even if Xu Yourong has a big killing move, it will be difficult to call back the souls of Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan.
"I know, I know, you don't have to yell in my ear, now I'm just waiting for Concubine Xian to speak. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do anything. Anyway, now Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen must have been ambushed by Concubine Xian, and we don't know how many eyeliners, and we can't get close. Xu Mingcheng said.
This is inside the palace city, and it is in the Chunhui Palace. It can be said that it is completely under the control of Concubine Xian, so as long as Mrs. Wen and Wen Ya and her party enter here, they will definitely be targeted by Concubine Xian, so Xu Youshan and the others did not find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Wen and Wen Ya. I hurried up to contact him. Instead, he has been quietly watching from the sidelines.
And now what they have to wait for is that Concubine Xian took the initiative to mention Wen Ya's matter to Emperor Zhou Hui, after all, as long as Emperor Zhou Hui agreed to Concubine Xian's idea of wanting Wen Ya to become Concubine Xie Wenzheng, then this matter is a certainty, and no matter what happens again, there will be no problem, so Xu Youshan and the three predicted that Concubine Xian would definitely open her mouth in this excellent opportunity now.
Because Emperor Zhou Hui was in a good mood at this time. There are also people who speak at the time, so Emperor Zhou Hui doesn't want to compensate Concubine Xian. Then that's the best notch; Second, all the people present here will become the best help, and Emperor Zhou Hui will not lose such a big face as Concubine Xian in front of so many people.
"Holy."
And not long after Xu Youshan and the three of them focused their eyes on Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian really spoke, she smiled more and more gently at Emperor Zhou Hui at this time, with a voice that was not big but not small, just enough to make the people around her clear, and said to Emperor Zhou Huidi, who turned his head to look at her when he heard the words: "Saint, before you came just now, the concubine was still chatting with the ladies and talking about the recent worries. β
"Oh, so in that case, Concubine Ai has been worried about something recently?" Emperor Zhou Hui asked Concubine Xian with great concern.
"It's not a big deal, it's just Min'er's marriage, it's almost a clichΓ©." Concubine Xian said faintly, just the right amount of worry, so that Emperor Zhou Hui looked at her with concern, and repeatedly asked Concubine Xian, what was the matter, so that Concubine Xian looked as if she was unable to be asked by Emperor Zhou Hui, so she had to speak.
"It turns out that this is the case, but what Concubine Ai said is also right, Min'er is not young now, it's time to settle the marriage, I don't know which pearl Concubine Ai likes?" Xie Wen's marriage, in fact, Emperor Zhou Hui wanted to settle for him a few years ago, after all, if Xie Wen extended the royal heir as soon as possible, it would also be a very favorable condition.
But this candidate, what Emperor Zhou Hui mentioned to Concubine Xian were all clan women who had already voted in the faction of Coco Xie, which made Concubine Xian, who wanted to further expand Coco Xie's power in every possible way, naturally rejected it, so Coco Xie's marriage will be delayed until today. Therefore, at this time, seeing that Concubine Xian took the initiative to talk about this matter, Emperor Zhou Hui was happy, and also glanced around the flower hall intentionally or unintentionally when speaking, as if to say that as long as Concubine Xian fell in love with someone, then Emperor Zhou Hui would refer to that person as Xie Wen's concubine.
Concubine Xian smiled when she heard this, but the faces of several ladies in the flower hall became a little more ugly, but just when the atmosphere became more and more tense, Concubine Xian said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the saint, the concubine is indeed a candidate who already has a favorite, that is the eldest girl of the Wen family." β
Just for an instant, Emperor Zhou Hui, who was still smiling just now, immediately froze, and the faces of Nie Jin, the prince of Zhenguo, and Zhongshu Ling Fang Yong, who were beside Emperor Zhou Hui, also changed suddenly, especially Fang Yong's face, which was extremely ugly and tight at this time. And this kind of abnormality, Concubine Xian naturally will not ignore it, and her expression, which has been leisurely as if she is holding the victory, is also a little shaken at this time.
"Holy Lord, what's wrong?" But Concubine Xian is not an ordinary person after all, after a short panic, she immediately stabilized her mind and asked Emperor Zhou Hui with a smile.
But this time, Emperor Zhou Hui didn't pay attention to Concubine Xian, but instead Shangshu Zuo Pu and Scholar Li on the side got up in a panic, and after saluting Concubine Xian, he said with some horror: "Thank you Concubine Xian for your love for the little girl, but the little girl and the three sons of the Scholar Li family have made a family appointment yesterday under the witness of the saint, and ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to forgive her sins." β
The flower hall that was still noisy just now fell silent like stagnant water in an instant, in this quiet, Xu Youshan really doubted that if there was a person panting louder at this time, it was estimated that people would be able to find out. Because of this, at this time, Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan, who were partial to Yiyu, did their best to not laugh out loud under Concubine Xian's increasingly dark face.

The third master of the Li scholar's family is well-known in the Shendu for being idle and unlearned, so many celebrities in Beijing don't like to have anything to do with this Li Sanye, and they won't have anything good to say about him.
But it is really surprising and curious that such a person who is about to become infamous in the Shendu has become a close figure in the imperial capital overnight, so they all asked what happened to this Li Sanye and how he suddenly became so famous. And after inquiring clearly, everyone also remembered the Li family's Li Sanye.
"As early as the day before, Master Wen and Scholar Li went to the palace to meet the saint, although it was a business affair, but Lord Wen and the saint mentioned that it was the family affair of the third master Li and Miss Wen. And what others don't know is that in fact, for that Li Sanye, the saint likes it very much, so after hearing the intention of Lord Wen and Scholar Li, the saint immediately agreed to their request, and also wrote the words 'match made in heaven' by the royal pen and gave it to Scholar Li. β
In the famous plum forest in Nanhua Temple, although it is a withered scenery at this time, it still has a unique flavor against the backdrop of the green and fragrant grass and vermilion flowers everywhere, at least for Xu Youshan and his party who are sitting on a stone chair in the plum forest at this time, this scene is very beautiful - accompanied by their excellent mood.
