Zheng Yun asked the question in his heart straightforwardly: "The emperor is so angry, what is the reason?" ”

"I thought about it all night." There was some bitterness in the voice of the third prince: "But I can't figure it out when I think about it." I've been a bit flamboyant lately, but I've been very dedicated to everything, and I've never been out of the way. My father also said that I have ambitions to be the crown prince, and he is not angry. also said that as his son, if he didn't even have the ambition of the prince, he would be too cowardly and useless. From this point of view, the anger of my father is not because of the fact that a few of you have made a mistake. What is the reason for that? ”

Zheng Yun was stunned: "So, you don't know what's going on?" He originally thought that the third prince had secretly done something inappropriate, but now it seems that the third prince has not done anything at all

"Someone must be plotting against me behind my back." There were no outsiders present, and the third prince no longer needed to hide it, his face was distorted and gloomy, and his eyes were full of violence: "I must find this person, and I won't break his body into ten thousand pieces, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

The words of the yin test make the listener a little creepy.

Zheng Yun waved away the uneasiness in his heart, and said calmly: "I also think this matter is a little strange. If someone is really doing tricks behind their backs, who will it be? ”

The third prince stayed up all night, obviously thinking about this problem, and a cold light flashed in his bloodshot eyes: "This person must be from the prince's side." However, it was by no means the crown prince himself. The prince is greedy for flowers and lustful, and he doesn't use as much thought on the court as he does on women. With his brain, he couldn't think of any powerful plan. There are one or two powerful staff members around him. No matter how powerful I am, I don't have the ability to stumble in my father's ear. So. This person must be in a high position, and my skills are shrewd and not weaker than mine. ”

If Gu Xinian is here. Hearing this analysis, I am afraid that I will also feel a chill in my heart.

The third prince is really scheming, deep and quick-witted. Unexpectedly, the main points were analyzed so quickly.

Zheng Yun subconsciously nodded in agreement: "You're right. "There are not many people who have such motives and such ability to calculate the three princes, but after thinking about it carefully, the scope has been greatly narrowed down a lot.

The third prince took a deep breath and said, "Thinking about it carefully, in the past few months, it has indeed been a little too smooth. It's as if someone has been secretly fueling the troubles, and every qiē is unbelievable. I was so carried away by joy that I didn't think about it at all. Now that I have been angrily reprimanded by my father, I have sobered up a lot. It seems that I am about to think of what the problem is. But the film didn't grasp the point. ”

Speaking of this, the third prince frowned in annoyance, without a smile on his face.

Zheng Yun thought about it for a while, but he was also puzzled, so he had to comfort: "Don't worry, if someone really makes a ghost behind his back, it will always surface." The most important thing for you now is not to find out the person behind you, but to find out what went wrong. Only as much as possible to find the reason. can ask the emperor for guilt as soon as possible. You don't really want to stay in the house all the time! ”

The third prince nodded silently.

Zheng Yun appeased him again before leaving the prince's mansion.

Not long after Zheng Yun left, Concubine Zheng Guifei ordered someone to visit the third prince in the prince's mansion. The person who came was Mama Li, an old man who had served Concubine Zheng for many years, when Concubine Zheng entered the palace. Mama Li is only 20 years old. After so many years, he has never left the palace to marry, and he is the most powerful and trusted confidant by Concubine Zheng Guifei's side.

Mama Li also grew up watching the three princes. There is a lot of affection between the master and the servant, and it is not polite to meet each other. First put down some of the exquisite snacks he brought from the palace: "Your Highness." This is sent to you by the old slave of the concubine Niangniang. ”

At this time, where did the third prince still have the heart to pay attention to these, and hummed casually.

Send these to eat. It was originally an excuse to leave the palace. Mama Li lowered her voice and said, "The concubine is very worried about Her Royal Highness, so she specially ordered the old slave to come and visit. I also hope that His Royal Highness will take care of his body, and leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, and he must not hurt his body because of this. Also, the concubine Niangniang will also intercede with the emperor for His Royal Highness in the palace. The emperor has always loved His Royal Highness, but this time it is just a momentary anger, and after a few days, there will naturally be nothing to do. ”

The third prince tugged at the corners of his lips, but did not explain much.

This time, the father and emperor don't look like a momentary anger

After Mama Li brought Concubine Zheng's words, it was inconvenient to stay longer, and she soon returned to the palace to resume her life.

Concubine Zheng waited anxiously in the dormitory for a long time, and finally waited for Mama Li to come back. Hurriedly waved his hand to make the palace maids and eunuchs retreat, and asked anxiously, "How is Zhang'er now?" ”

Mama Li naturally wanted to pick a good one and said: "Niangniang, please rest assured, Your Highness is still in good spirits, and specially told the old slave to bring a message to Niangniang, don't worry about him." ”

No matter how beautiful she said, how could Concubine Zheng not be worried. In just one day, this noble concubine who has been favored in the sixth palace for many years showed tiredness and old age, as if muttering to herself and as if discussing with Mama Li: "I can't wait, I want to go to see the emperor, I want to intercede for Zhang'er"

Mama Li was secretly startled, and hinted euphemistically: "Niang Niang is worried about His Royal Highness, and the old slave naturally understands. However, the emperor must still be angry now, and now the mother is going to beg the emperor, but I am afraid that the emperor may not be willing to listen. It's better to wait a few days."

How could Concubine Zheng Guifei listen to it, and couldn't help but make a decision: "At this time, the emperor should still be dealing with political affairs in the imperial study, and I will personally make some snacks and send them over." ”

Mama Li couldn't stop her, so she had to let her go.

Concubine Zheng Guifei personally made the snacks, packed them in a delicate food box, and led the two palace maids to the imperial study. I didn't think that as soon as I arrived halfway, I was stopped by a female official in palace clothes: "The slave maid has seen the concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Zheng looked at it and immediately recognized the person. This person is the female official beside Queen Gu.

"You don't serve the queen in the Fengyi Palace, why did you come here." Concubine Zheng was in a very bad mood, and she didn't bother to deal with the female official at all: "There are still important things in the palace, you step back first." ”

The lady in law didn't move, but still smiled and said: "The queen mother ordered the slave maid to come and invite the concubine to go to the Fengyi Palace. ”

Zheng Guifei was angry in her heart, sneered, and couldn't hear what she said: "You go back and report to the queen, the palace is now going to the imperial study to send snacks to the emperor, and I don't have this time to go to the Fengyi Palace for the time being." As he spoke, he didn't even look at the female official, and left without looking back.

The female official did not have the anger of being humiliated, but smiled meaningfully, and returned to the Fengyi Hall to resume her life.

"Is that what she said?" Empress Gu casually sipped the hot tea in her hand.

The lady in law smiled and reported: "Yes, the slave and maid are watching, and the concubine seems to be very anxious." Even the superficial respect that the concubine should maintain for the queen was thrown aside, which shows how eager Concubine Zheng is.

Empress Gu smiled silently, not to mention how happy she was.

For so many years, as the queen of the East Palace, she has never been able to suppress Concubine Zheng Guifei, and she is naturally aggrieved. Because of the open and secret rivalry between the crown prince and the third prince, the smell of gunpowder between her and Concubine Zheng Guifei is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes even the apparent harmony cannot be maintained.

This time, the emperor slapped the three princes in the face fiercely, and the happiest people were the crown prince and Queen Gu. Although the reason for this has not yet been investigated, this does not hinder Queen Gu's good mood in the slightest. I wouldn't mind adding to Concubine Zheng's blockage.

Thinking of this, Empress Gu instructed again: "The emperor is busy with government affairs all day long, and it is really hard. Isn't Chow Meiren the best at cooking some exquisite meals? You go to Zhou Meiren now, pass on my instructions, and ask Zhou Meiren to cook more meals or supper these days and send them to the emperor. It can be regarded as taking care of the emperor for the palace. ”

This Zhou Meiren is a newcomer who was picked up by Queen Gu. In terms of appearance, she is not weaker than Cao Jieyu and Huang Meiren, and she has good cooking skills, and she has been favored by the emperor recently. Queen Gu specially ordered Zhou Meiren to stir up the situation, making it clear that she wanted to block Concubine Zheng.

The lady in law responded with a smile and immediately went to Zhou Meiren.

The imperial study is the most common place for the emperor to stay after retiring from the court, and he often reviews and recites in it. The harem concubines are not allowed to enter lightly. As Zheng Guifei, she can only follow the rules and let the eunuch go in to report first. After waiting for a long time, the eunuch turned around with a smile on his face: "The emperor summoned several ministers to discuss political affairs, and it will take at least one or two hours." Don't wait."

Concubine Zheng Guifei's heart was cold, but she refused to leave: "Since this is the case, then the palace will wait for a while." ”

The concubine didn't leave, no matter how bold the eunuch was, he didn't dare to pick up people, so he had to smile and nod.

This is more than an hour. Seeing that the sky was already dark, the more Zheng Guifei waited, the more anxious she became, but she refused to show half a point on her face.

Then, the soft and lovely Zhou Meiren came with a smile and a food box. After seeing Concubine Zheng, he hurriedly asked An to salute.

When Concubine Zheng saw her delicate appearance, she secretly sneered. How could it be such a coincidence, it was rare for her to come back to the imperial study to deliver snacks, and this Zhou beauty followed to join in the fun. It is obvious that Queen Gu secretly assigned Zhou Meiren to block her

Zhou Meiren didn't know what Concubine Zheng was thinking, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is worried that the emperor is busy with government affairs and hurts the dragon body, so she specially ordered the concubines to cook and cook some of the emperor's favorite meals on weekdays. ”

The feelings are not secretly assigned, but the loud and bright call is coming!

Concubine Zheng almost couldn't lift it in one breath, and was about to say something, when she saw the eunuch who was serving the emperor walking over with a smiling face.

The emperor must be going to see her. Concubine Zheng was in good spirits and took a step forward. (To be continued......)
