Chapter 541: You Come and Go
h2> Concubine He's words directly pointed out the queen's intention to hold a flower viewing banquet today. And the young ladies lowered their heads one after another, but they were secretly more energetic in their hearts, they must win the favor of the queen mother today and get the position of the crown princess.
Even if the Seventh Prince is favored now, the crown prince is the eldest son in a serious manner, and this identity has suppressed a lot of the Seven Princes. I believe that in the future, the throne will definitely be the crown prince's, and the seventh prince is just a clown jumping off the beam.
Concubine Xu swept lightly towards those young ladies, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, I am afraid that there is a good show to watch today. It's just that I don't know where this princess will fall, but there is no excellent mother's family, no matter how outstanding her appearance is and her character is outstanding, I'm afraid she won't be able to enter the queen's eyes!
Concubine Xu looked at Liu Yue's table, and there was a little more deep meaning in her eyes, this lady is not simple, whether it is her appearance or bearing, she is not like the rumored country woman, she has no knowledge. On the contrary, it looks like a powerful character.
It seems that the Dingbei Hou Mansion favors this Mrs. Shizi, it is not groundless, people have merits, so they can enter the eyes of Mrs. Hou, the old Marquis and the Shizi, otherwise who will spoil a stupid and ignorant woman?
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to talk to this lady today. It is better to have a little affection with her, so that it will be more convenient for the great things to come, and some things are more convenient to talk to a woman than to a man.
After the banquet began, there were many ladies and young ladies who began to tie up with the queen. This stammering remark said a big basket, and the queen was impatient to listen to it, and her originally dignified smile was also a little perfunctory.
The female officials around the queen proposed it in a timely manner, so that the young ladies of each family could compare their talents. And at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also arrived, and it was so punctual that this prince would definitely arrive at a critical time.
Liu Yue smiled coldly, I was afraid that the prince was not worried about the queen's eyes, so he decided to take a look for himself! I don't know if the mother and son can choose the girl they like, but those young ladies have all been on the prince since the prince took his seat.
Now that the crown prince and the queen are here, the competition has also begun. One by one, the young ladies began to perform on stage, some played the piano, some sang, and of course some painted, wrote poems, and danced. In short, there are too many to count.
Liu Yue was a little tired from looking at it, and was about to talk to the Lin family, but she didn't know that suddenly a little palace maid appeared on the side, lowered her head, and looked respectful: "Mrs. Shizi, the slave master asks you to go and talk about it." The master said that he would like to thank you for being Mrs. Quanfu for Miss Xu! Please also ask Mrs. Shizi to appreciate the light! ”
As soon as Liu Yue heard it, she knew that it was Concubine Xu, and she was ready to see Concubine Xu when she entered the palace today. "If you lead the way, I'll follow you to your master."
The palace maid's heart moved slightly, this lady of the prince was really polite. Liu Yue whispered to Sister Tonglin to explain the reason, and then the little palace maid led the retreat. And the Lin family and the ladies who knew each other on the side also tacitly did not mention a word.
Dingbei Hou Mansion and Concubine Xu in the palace are on the line, which is good for everyone, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to Bo Yibo.
And the eyeliner around the queen has long been eyeing Liu Yue and Concubine Xu, and the eyeliner was originally staring tightly, and those who knew how many times Liu Yue was around couldn't see anyone. And this palace is too big, even if you are familiar with the palace, it is quite difficult to find someone immediately.
What's more, Concubine Xu must have carefully arranged it, and it is even more difficult to find someone, and it is even more likely to overhear something.
It seems that Concubine Xu is not a good type, and today she arranged to meet with Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingbei, and the arrangement was very precise, and this matter must be explained to the queen mother, but I don't know how the queen will punish herself. 、
Liu Yue followed the little palace maid, originally picked a secluded palace road, and after going around the east and west, Liu Yue couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
Liu Yue knew that this was arranged by Concubine Xu earlier, just to get rid of the stares who followed her, there are too many stares in this palace, there are enemies in me, there are enemies in me, no matter what you say, who you see, you must be careful and careful.
What's more, when he met Concubine Xu, what he said couldn't be heard by anyone. So you have to be more careful, and Liu Yue has also learned some kung fu, so she can follow the little palace maid so closely, if it is an ordinary daughter, I am afraid that she will not be able to walk for a long time.
And the palace maid looked thin, but Liu Yue found that she walked very lightly, presumably from a Lian family. It seems that Concubine Xu has a lot of talented people around her, but she has been hiding deeply.
Think about it, if Concubine Xu is weak, even if the emperor is slightly favored, I am afraid that the queen will be killed long ago, can she still give birth to the seventh prince safely?
You must know that the Seven Princes have killed five princes in a row, so there are only two princes under the emperor's knees, the crown prince and the seventh prince.
And the crown prince is the eldest son, and the seventh prince is the youngest son. Why did the five princes in the middle die in this palace, it must go without saying much, everyone understands it in their hearts.
Finally, the little palace maid led Liu Yue to a desolate small courtyard, and then pushed the door open for Liu Yue, and then said: "Please let Mrs. Shizi in, the master is waiting for you inside!" ”
Liu Yue nodded, and then entered the house, Liu Yue didn't expect that this seemingly splendid palace also had such a desolate place. However, the point is that Liu Yue entered the house and found that it looked desolate on the outside, but there were clean tables and chairs in the house.
Concubine Xu sat at the table and looked at Liu Yue with a light smile. "Mrs. Shizi's foot strength is not bad, she arrived so soon, and she arrived half a cup of tea earlier than Bengong thought."
Liu Yue saluted Concubine Xu first, Concubine Xu raised her hand, and Liu Yue dared to get up. With no arrogance or impatience on her face, she replied with a rule: "Concubine Xu must also know that the courtiers are from the countryside, and this foot strength is naturally faster than that of the ladies in the capital." ”
Concubine Xu smiled, "I didn't expect that you are sincere." This character is not pretentious, and this palace likes it. ”
"It is rare for a courtier's wife to be able to enter the eyes of Concubine Xu, which is also the mother's generosity and kindness, so as not to dislike the vulgar nature of the courtier." Liu Yue's regular reply.
"Sit down, since we look at each other, we don't have to be so restrained, it's more comfortable to talk casually." After speaking, the palace people put on the stool for Liu Yue.
Liu Yuefu thanked her, and then slowly sat down, from the beginning to the long tail, she didn't ask Concubine Xu for something, or because Concubine Xu gave herself some face, so she put her nose on her face and forgot the rules of the harem.
The more Concubine Xu looked, the more satisfied she became, it seems that this lady of the prince is a cautious son, although she can't find out the bottom line of the Dingbei Hou Mansion in this way, but when dealing with cautious people, she is more at ease.
"Mrs. Shizi is so cautious at a young age, Mrs. Hou is really blessed. No wonder Mrs. Hou did not go out of the palace for the banquet today, and left it to Mrs. Shizi to deal with. Concubine Xu drank tea and held the concubine's car.
"Concubine Xu Niangniang praised Miao, Niangniang also understood why the courtier's mother-in-law was unwilling to enter the palace, since the mother let the courtiers not have to be restrained, you can also be casual. If you want to ask anything, you don't have to be as restrained as others. ”
Concubine Xu made Liu Yue's face blush, this lady of the prince spoke straightforwardly, but she really didn't want to be too subtle with her, since she had broken it, she didn't have to scruple about it.
smiled slightly: "What Mrs. Shizi said is that after Mrs. Shizi returns home, she will say hello to Mrs. Hou on behalf of the palace." Let Mrs. Hou get out of the pain of losing her daughter as soon as possible, and think more about the two little sons. I believe that Concubine Mo is in the spirit of the sky, and I don't want Mrs. Hou to be too sad. ”
At the mention of Yu'er, Liu Yue's heart was also sour, "The courtier's mother-in-law thanked her for her kindness, but there are some things that don't mean that if you want to come out, you can come out immediately." A living person is gone, how can a mother-in-law be like a nobody? Only those who are ruthless will not care. ”
Concubine Xu was happy in her heart, as long as Mrs. Hou was still sad, the Dingbei Hou Mansion would always hate the prince and the queen, so that her alliance with the Dingbei Hou Mansion would be stronger. Because we all have a common enemy!
"What the prince said is not, even the son of this palace thinks of Concubine Mo, and he is sad for a while. Think about the original Concubine Mo in this imperial garden, let that person fight like that, and now choose a concubine in the imperial garden. This palace is so strong in his heart that he really can't sit down anymore. It's hard for Mrs. Shizi to start from the overall situation! ”
"What Concubine Xu said is that it is difficult for Concubine Xu to remember the rain, and in this harem, I only see the newcomers laughing, and the old people crying. Where does anyone still remember the former Concubine Mo? But people die like lights go out, and those who live have to go on. ”
Concubine Xu slowly stopped her sad feelings, and replaced her face with worry, "Does Mrs. Shizi know which lady the queen and the prince like?" ”
Rulan smiled coldly: "If it's not high, it's not low!" As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xu looked confused, but then Concubine Xu smiled strangely, but this is not the reason.
The prince's character has long been bad, plus the two opponents around the prince, a powerful prince of Nangong, and a seventh prince who is in the favor of the Holy Grace and has an alliance with the Dingbei Hou Mansion. It is entirely possible for these two people to replace the crown prince, so even if the prince is noble now, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that he will not be replaced by these two people in the future.
The previous Dingbei Hou Mansion was the result of the tragic death of Concubine Mo in the end because he did not explicitly support the prince. If the current crown princess can't give the prince a lot of help, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not let others replace her.
In other words, the crown princess, who has no use value or is not of great value, will mercilessly let the prince give up. Such a forceful, ruthless, and unprincipled prince,
It's really not reliable! People who really have some strength in this capital don't dare to rashly stand in line for the position of the crown princess, thank you for the day when the prince perishes, it will be the time when they will be wiped out.
Therefore, those who are really powerful will be somewhat unhappy in their hearts. Moreover, half of these people's families are related to the prince of Nangong, or a few of them are neutral and will never participate in the competition.
Therefore, there are too few families that the prince can choose, even if the prince forcibly wants to marry a woman from an important minister or a powerful family, at most, which family will let his daughter die, or ruin his reputation, it is more cost-effective than the whole family accompanying the prince to die. From the wives who befriended the queen before, it is not difficult to see which families are interested in the position of crown princess, and which ones are not disdainful of touching their hands at all.
And the rest of those who are in the middle or not in the stream, or those who have no name but no real power.
The queen is definitely not eye-catching, even if the prince likes a young lady of any family, he has to agree. In this way, it is not high or low. Maybe it will be like the Dingbei Hou Mansion, if you can't get married, but become an enemy, it will be embarrassing and conspicuous when the time comes? R1152
