Chapter 087: Making Enemies (2)
Xiahou Leling has always been unable to figure it out, even if it is because the imperial brother is still in Yuanchu, Long Zeye does not have to do this.
It wasn't until one day, when Ador and the concubines came to greet her, that she understood.
And since then, Long Zeye has lived in Changle Palace.
"Feng Zi, if it were you, would you get along well with a woman who robbed you of your status and robbed your man?" After being silent for a while, Xiahou Leling did not directly answer Feng Zi's question, but suddenly asked rhetorically.
When Feng Zi heard this, he looked at his princess in surprise and said, "Princess, what do you mean?"
"Haven't you seen enough of Dongshang's harem? How can the harem be really peaceful and friendly, and the sisterhood is deep. This qiē is just a show on the spot, in order to make everyone look decent, so as not to make the world laugh. ”
Xiahou Leling slowly walked into a pavilion, sat down and said: "Ai Duoer thought that she could rely on the momentum of her mother's family to sit firmly on the queen's throne, but she didn't want to kill me halfway, and she took away the piece of meat she had coveted for a long time. Do you think she can tolerate me? ”
"Princess, there is more than one concubine in this harem, you can still win over a few other concubines for your use." Feng Zi was a little worried about his princess.
Although the princess is smart, no matter how smart a person is, she can't prevent others from joining forces to play tricks.
"Although what you said is good, this matter has to be done slowly, not in a hurry." Xiahou Leling looked at a newly sprouted tree in the distance and said lightly.
Winter will always pass, the trees have sprouted, and spring will be far away.
Long Zeye has been doing dramas for so many days, making everyone in the harem think that the emperor favors the queen, not to make enemies for her. Leave her with no time for other care?
Xiahou Yan finally left, Jian Ning stood on the second floor of Tianxiang Garden, looking at the mighty team that was gradually moving away, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
For Xiahou Yan, although she didn't want to involve too much, she was still very grateful to him.
When I returned home, I happened to see Liu Leshan settling accounts. He stepped forward and sat on the opposite side of Liule Mountain. Small talking.
"Ning'er, although we still have some silver, it's not a way to go on like this. There will always be a day when it will run out. Liu Leshan stopped his hand and looked at Jian Ning after a moment of silence, "Ning'er, some things are over now." As for the Food Garden. It seems that it should not be able to get it back in the short term. What's next for you? ”
Jian Ning had already thought about this question, and after thinking about it for a while. replied: "Senior brother, when Zijin's injury is more stable, I want to go back to Yangxin County first." ”
"It's good to go back, it's just the way it is now. I'm afraid it's hard to be the same as before. Liu Leshan was a little worried, "Although there is still a Ruyi Fang, Baiweilou will definitely suppress us with all its might." ”
"Nope. Senior brother, go back this time. I'm not trying to reopen Ruyi Fang. Jian Ning shook her head and said solemnly, "Senior brother, do you remember that time when we went to the secret cellar to save Zijin, Ai Gaoyi asked me to hand over what my father gave me before his death, although I don't know what it is, but I think what Ai Gaoyi wants should not be simple." ”
"So, do you want to go back and find it?" Liu Leshan also remembered after Jian Ning's reminder.
"Not bad." Jian Ning nodded and continued, "My father is just a cook, although he has the title of the god of food, but in the final analysis, he is just a commoner. I don't think there's anything about my dad that deserves to be bothered by Agayi, unless there's a secret in between. ”
The reason why Jian Ning thinks like this is that she feels that Jian Baiwei's identity and his death are very problematic.
She hadn't thought about the body's memories before, so she didn't care about it at all. But during this time, in order to retrieve those lost memories, Jian Ning would often sit alone in front of the window and quietly think about the past.
In his memory, his father's body has always been very healthy, but I don't know when it started, his body gradually became very weak, and he even coughed up blood from time to time. Until the final death, the strangest thing about Jian Ning was that no doctor found out what kind of disease Jian Baiwei had.
Time flies, and it's a month in the blink of an eye. The climate is gradually warming, and the imperial garden has regained its former peach and willow green appearance.
In Fengyi Palace, Xiahou Leling was looking at the books, and Feng Zi came in and said, "Princess, the peach next to Ai Guifei asks to see you." ”
"Let her in." Le Ling said lightly.
Since the envoy of the Eastern Merchants left, Long Zeye often came to her palace to sit, although he never stayed overnight. But even so, Xiahou Leling's troubles have not stopped. Those concubines, under the instruction of Ai Duoer intentionally or unintentionally, will always make all kinds of tricks to harm her.
But after all, they are not some smart ones, and in the end they will only be bored with themselves, or even ask for their own hardships.
Ai Duoer has never clashed with her head-on in the past few days, and I don't know how she is prepared this time.
Shui Tao followed Feng Zi into the hall, and respectfully saluted Xiahou Leling: "The slave has seen the queen's mother. ”
"Get up." Xiahou Leling raised his hand and said.
Shui Tao hurriedly thanked her and got up, bent over and said, "Queen Mother, the slave maid is on the order of the noble concubine Niangniang, and I came to invite you to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers together." ”
"Cherry blossoms? Why did your mother suddenly have such interest? Xiahou Leling leaned on the cushion on the side and asked lazily.
"Back to the queen's mother, today my mother's mother's family of several young ladies into the palace to visit the mother, the mother saw that the weather was good, so she invited a few young masters in the palace and the mother to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. So I specially sent a slave maid to invite the queen to go with me. ”
After Le Ling's heart turned around, he said: "I went back to your mother, just say that the palace will go over to sit down for a while and take a look at the new flowers that bloom this year." ”
"Yes, the slave will reply. The slave and maid retired. Hearing this, Shui Tao hurriedly bowed and withdrew.
"Princess, this Ai Guifei must not have any good intentions, why did you go over?" Feng Zi saw that Shui Tao had gone out, and hurriedly stepped forward.
It's not that she's afraid of Ai Duoer and them, she really doesn't want to block herself and don't want to see them.
"There are people in the palace, they are invited, if I don't go, didn't I just give them a chance to gossip!" Le Ling got up and found a few palace maids to change her clothes and make up for herself.
"Besides, people finally want to sing in a play, if I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to sing." Le Ling had a faint smile on her face.
Several young ladies in Ai Mansion have entered the palace, and she wants to see what tricks Ai Duoer is playing this time.
As soon as Xiahou Leling entered the Imperial Garden, he heard a burst of laughter, and from a distance, he saw Ai Duoer talking to the rest of the people, with an obvious smile on his face.
Xiahou Leling smiled slightly and stepped forward.
Today, she wears a pale orange-red long gauze skirt, a pink brocade jacket, and snow-white rabbit fluff sewn into the corners.
An orange-red ribbon is wrapped around the waist, with a piece of fine Hetian jade inlaid in the middle, and a piece of fine glazed jade is worn on the left side of the ribbon.
The long brocade-like hair is tied into a falling moon bun with a red jade coral hairpin, and a row of pendant glass curtains are inserted under the bun. The elegant jade face is painted with light plum blossom makeup. Compared with the previous freshness and refinement, she is now more charming and graceful as a queen.
When everyone saw Xiahou Leling coming, they all stopped laughing, stood up and saluted: "I've seen the queen." ”
Seeing that everyone saluted, Ai Duoer also slowly stood up and greeted Le Ling.
Le Ling smiled and excused everyone's courtesy, crossed in front of Ai Duoer, and sat on the first seat. Although Ai Duoer was angry in her heart, she didn't show it at all this time, but sat on the side very happily.
"Did this palace disturb everyone, I heard a burst of laughter in the distance just now." Le Ling glanced at everyone and said with a light smile.
There are three young ladies from the Ai family, and according to Le Ling's understanding, none of these three are from the concubine. Ai Gaoyi's original wife only gave birth to a son and a daughter, but unfortunately her life was thin and she died because of dystocia. The current steproom is raised by the aunt and has nothing to do. So these young ladies were born to the following concubines.
"The queen said that she laughed, we didn't say anything just now, but we just chatted casually." Ador took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
Le Ling didn't bother, looked at the three young ladies in Aifu, and said with a smile: "These few"
"They are all concubines' sisters." Ai Duoer smiled, and then turned to the three young ladies of Ai Mansion and said, "I haven't come to say hello to the queen mother, so that the queen mother can take a look at you." ”
Ai Duo'er's words fell, and the three of them immediately left their seats, moved Lian to the queen, and saluted one by one: "The courtier Ivy has seen the queen's mother. ”
"The courtier Aimee has seen the queen's mother."
"The courtier Alan has seen the queen mother."
Le Ling looked at these three women, all of whom were about the same age, all of them were around fifteen or sixteen years old, and the three of them were all good-looking. But there is also a difference, although it is just a salute, but it is obvious that Aimee is much calmer and more reserved than the other two.
And Ivy is charming, and Alan's eyes are full of liveliness and innocence.
"Get up, all of you." Le Ling looked at the rest of the concubines in the pavilion, looked at Ai Duoer with a smile and asked, "The noble concubine Niangniang invited this palace today, shouldn't it be just for flower appreciation?" ”
"Hehe, what the queen mother said is really a kindness to the concubine." Ai Duoer personally handed a cup of tea to Xiahou Leling and said with a light smile.
"My sister said so, then the palace will be good for tea and flowers." Le Ling took the tea from Ai Duoer's hand and took a sip of tea.
After chatting a few words, Ai Duoer looked at the three Ai family ladies and said to Le Ling: "What does the queen think of the three sisters of the concubine?" ”
"Naturally, there is nothing to say about the appearance." Leling glanced at the three people.
"What do you think of letting them into the palace? The Empress Dowager has always hoped that there will be more people in the harem, so that she can spread out for the emperor! Ador kept looking into Le Ling's eyes. (To be continued) R466
