Chapter 217: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

217

Concubine Wei is really a cold sweat on her forehead, where do you dare to speak, this is really too rebellious, but if she misses a word, her life will be in danger, Zhou Baolu smiled: "I know you don't dare to say this, but what they think, it's not difficult to guess, especially this time, who doesn't know?" I don't need you to say it, I'll count it. ”

Where is there anything like Zhou Baolu can't imagine? Although this matter was the first move of the concubine Niangniang to provoke the East Palace, but it was because of Zhou Baolu that she became Concubine Jing Niangniang, how could the Wei family not be angry with her? Do you still expect the Wei family to understand the righteousness and say that this is not the fault of the crown princess, but the fault of the concubine?

Zhou Baolu felt funny when she thought about it, so she asked Concubine Wei: "In this case, how do your parents plan to support you?" ”

Concubine Wei said in a low voice: "I didn't say anything, I just ordered the concubine to stand firm first, get the favor of the prince, and then wait for the situation after Concubine Jing gave birth to this child, and then plan for the future." ”

Hmm, it makes sense.

Zhou Baolu never took the Wei family seriously, so he said, "Then what do you think?" ”

Concubine Wei hesitated, looked up at Zhou Baolu, and saw that she was still relaxed, leaning there with a big belly, and a little relaxed smile on her plump round face.

Concubine Wei gritted her teeth and decided to break the boat: "The concubine body thinks this is simply wishful thinking!" ”

Oh? Zhou Baolu was not surprised, she already felt that Concubine Wei was a smart person, this is indeed very simple to understand, Concubine Wei said: "Who is the East Palace?" From afar, even if I am a girl who is not familiar with the world and does not go out, I have heard these things from my parents and elders in the past few years. It's because of the murder of the crown princess, how stupid do I have to be to think that the East Palace will give the Wei family face, will give me face? ”

She said excitedly, the previous calmness and composure disappeared, her hands danced, her impassioned face was glowing, her not very beautiful face was actually glowing with moving light, it was simply unforgiving: "What about the emperor's gift, it's just the grade of a side concubine, and it's just a matter of putting it in the harem, and there will be no less than three or five people in the East Palace, just worship it like a mud bodhisattva, and the gold slave and silver maid make it, who can pick out the East Palace?" What can I expect? Don't talk about such wishful thinking, even if I move slightly, I don't know how many eyes are looking at me, how many people are waiting for me to make a mistake, listen to a word of gossip, you can have a charge of peeping into the East Palace, what can I do? ”

Concubine Wei burst into tears, this time she was really sad and cried: "I don't want to die yet, I'm only sixteen years old, I don't want to become a stepping stone because of the glory of others, let people step on my bones to ascend, since the holy decree has been issued, nothing can be done, I would rather stay in the harem honestly, the prince can't look down on me, the mother doesn't look down on me, it doesn't matter, as long as I have food and drink, I can survive, live peacefully to the age of sixty, I will be satisfied, I really have nothing else to want, Niang Niang Mingjian!" ”

Concubine Wei sobbed and said: "The concubine can't understand the court situation, and she doesn't understand those things, so naturally I don't know what it will be like in the future, but now that I'm from the East Palace, and the East Palace is gone, can I have a good son, let alone such wishful thinking, my great-grandmother and grandmother are completely ignoring my life and death, and blindly only thinking about Jing Concubine Niangniang, I don't understand, it's the same biological blood, why is she so noble, we have to die for her?" ”

Zhou Baolu understood what she meant, she just didn't want to go to the troubled waters of Wei Jingfei, she just wanted to live peacefully and peacefully in a corner of the East Palace with her identity as a side concubine.

So she knew that the maid given by her great-grandmother was jumping around in the palace, and she didn't stop it, so she waited for the princess to find out, and sent someone to ask for guilt, and got rid of the maid by the princess's hand, and also said that she was sensible and didn't make trouble, so that she could stay in the backyard safely.

Obviously, silence in the backyard is much longer than waving the flag and shouting for Concubine Jing in the palace, she is not a person who understands, but she is not a person who has a sense of the overall situation.

Zhou Baolu decided to give her a chance, so she said: "You are wrong, although you are all of the same Wei bloodline, but now, Concubine Jing is more noble than you, but it is true." ”

Concubine Wei was stunned.

Zhou Baolu said: "Bloodline can't decide everything, now for the Wei family, Jing Concubine Niangniang is much more useful than you, you have grown up in the Wei family, think about these years, you must also know how much the Wei family has changed, the glory over the years, the dependence on the people, the flattering relatives, these are the Jing Concubine Niangniang brought to the Wei family, have you thought about it?" Even now, Concubine Jing Niangniang has been demoted, but she is still the head of the harem, and there is a prince and princess, and there may be another prince, which is also the most noble person in the Wei family now, if Concubine Jing Niangniang can recover, how much impact will it have on the Wei family, you are a smart person, think about it yourself. ”

Zhou Baolu was not cruel enough, so she didn't say it, with the importance of Concubine Jing, even if the Wei family let the ten daughters who were selected die for Concubine Jing to regain her glory, she would definitely be willing.

However, Zhou Baolu didn't say it, and Concubine Wei was not unexpected, after Zhou Baolu's point, she had already shown a look of sudden realization.

Zhou Baolu continued: "I understand what you mean now, you originally thought, ignore Concubine Jing Niangniang, and don't get involved in the affairs of the East Palace, just stay quietly in the back yard, and don't ask for anything, you can live quietly and steadily, but, this method, if it is a side concubine who has no interests and is innocent, it may be useful, and you, you entered the palace because of Concubine Jing's mother, if you want to be alone, you will only die faster." ”

There was no room for anything to say, and the concubine Wei was dripping in cold sweat and her heart was beating like a drum.

Because of fear, my spine was numb.

She stayed for a long time, and for the first time sincerely knelt down and kowtowed: "Please save me." ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "Have you thought clearly?" ”

Concubine Wei understood that this was Zhou Baolu asking her, since she chose to take refuge in the East Palace, she would be the enemy of the Wei family, and there was no room for regret.

To abandon the relatives of the bloodline, not only to put yourself in a position hostile to them, with her or not, I without her, not only to watch them perish, but also to participate in the promotion of their own hands, this is too cruel for a sixteen-year-old girl.

Her face showed a very complicated expression of resentment, entanglement, and pain.

But in the end, she said, "Yes, the concubine understands." ”

Zhou Baolu actually didn't expect Concubine Wei to do anything, when she received the holy decree, she thought that it would be good if this Concubine Wei could make her less annoying, this would be almost an accident, Zhou Baolu said: "Since you have figured it out, I won't say much, I really have a good temper, you will know in the future, as long as everything is not hidden from me to make small moves, even if there are some mistakes, I will not do anything, but if it is intentional to deceive the master, then no matter how small things are, there is no room for tolerance, and it will naturally be dealt with innocently." This time, for the sake of your new entry into the palace, I have disposed of this girl for you, and if you have troubles in the future, you can also come and tell me. ”

"Yes!" Concubine Wei kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you for your magnanimity." ”

She also understood Zhou Baolu's subtext, she always had to show her loyalty first, and show her loyalty with the troubles of the Wei family.

Of course, Concubine Wei didn't expect her to say that she wanted to surrender, Zhou Baolu could treat her as a confidant, she almost dragged her steps, sweated and went back to her Lanxin Garden with a messy face, and planted herself on the bed, hugging the quilt and crying.

No one knew what she was crying about, not even herself, she couldn't tell clearly, she only knew that she was so scared and wronged that she couldn't help but want to vent.

Following her into the palace, there was only one maid Taoye who was served by Concubine Wei since childhood, like a sister, at this time she quietly looked at the door, and saw several people probing their brains to look at it, before she walked in, stroked Concubine Wei and persuaded in a low voice: "Niangniang, take a break, take a break, your body is important." ”

Concubine Wei knew very well what she was going to do today, so she thought that this was according to their plan, so she persuaded at this time: "Mother Lin, they have all seen it, let's take a rest." ”

Unexpectedly, Concubine Wei cried even harder, and she coughed a few times when she cried, and her back was wet.

Peach Leaf is naturally very familiar with Concubine Wei, and she can tell whether she is crying or crying, of course she was taken aback at this time, Concubine Wei was in the princess's house for less than an hour, as if she had taken off a layer of skin.

She was busy whispering comfort, and when she saw that Concubine Wei was crying and almost collapsed, she was terrified.

After a long time, Concubine Wei finally went from crying to sobbing, she hurriedly brought hot water to clean Concubine Wei's face, seeing that her face was a little swollen, and her eyes were about to be unable to open, so she hurriedly wrung a cold hand towel to compress her eyes, and asked softly: "Did the princess say anything?" ”

After a long time, Concubine Wei sighed before she said, "The crown princess is really generous. ”

Taoye was stunned: "What does Niangniang mean that the crown princess Niangniang refuses to dispose of Luzhi?" ”

"No, Niang Niang will dispose of Lu Zhi." Concubine Wei said, she slowly told Tao Ye about today's incident, the crown princess's keen and perceptive vision, Concubine Wei couldn't help but show a complex expression of fear and relief as she spoke.

"We're frogs at the bottom of the well!" Concubine Wei ended with this sentence, quite a feeling of lingering palpitations, and after listening to it, Taoye was speechless.

The two looked at each other, thinking of the actions that they thought they had calculated exquisitely, in the eyes of the crown princess, they could see through it at a glance, and they could immediately give a way to put Concubine Wei in the most embarrassing position, it was really ......

For a while, the two of them couldn't find anything to say, and after a long silence, Concubine Wei said: "Actually, it seems that we are really lucky." The crown princess is so powerful, but so generous, we only need to serve the mother sincerely in the future, and we will naturally be able to live in peace. ”

Tao Ye was a little puzzled, and Concubine Wei said: "Think about the means of the crown princess, think about the concubine Jing Niangniang, think about the aunts, the wives and old ladies in the family, who has the biggest chance of winning?" The crown prince, it has been the prince for nearly ten years, I didn't understand it before, but today I have seen the methods of the crown princess, and then think about what has happened these days, I think that the prince will ascend the throne in the future is only expected, our family ......"

She was still a little reluctant to mention it, so she swallowed it and said, "Concubine Jing is just afraid that it's really just wishful thinking!" ”

Even in front of the peach leaves, she didn't dare to say it very thoroughly, she even thought that not only would Concubine Jing have no chance in the future, but she might be quietly destroyed in the palace. And Concubine Jing is gone, what can the Wei family do?

Momoye was still a little worried: "But, in the end, we are the people of the Wei family, even if we serve Niangniang sincerely, can Niangniang treat us?" I don't know when I'll ......."

Concubine Wei said: "If Niangniang doesn't wait to see us, she won't talk to me today, and she won't agree to deal with Luzhi, Niangniang just needs to send Luzhi back to the Wei family as she said before, and ask the family to send people again, it's enough, and there is no need to make any effort at all." ”

This is very reasonable, Tao Ye couldn't help nodding, if the Wei family was disgusted with Concubine Wei, they sent the maid again, plus the two mothers who were originally given by the house, it was enough to tie Concubine Wei and Peach Ye to death, as long as the East Palace stood by and watched, Concubine Wei had no second way to go except for giving Concubine Jing Niangniang's footsteps.

Concubine Wei's idea of wanting to stand on the shore and shrink into the East Palace and ignore everything is really very funny now after being broken by Zhou Baolu.

Concubine Wei thought for a while, and said to Taoye: "You and I total, what trustworthy people do we have in the house, people who can be used, what is the status of Mother Lin and Mother Xu at home, and what is the family like, I want to sort it out, and I will go back to the princess tomorrow, if we can do something, the future will naturally be better, I see, the princess is not such a mean and unkind person." ”

After crying, Concubine Wei's mind became very clear, and she thought of Concubine Wu again, she already had a feeling at this time, Concubine Wu must have been subdued by the princess Niangniang, and she had made meritorious contributions and had a face, looking at her current status in the East Palace, the casualness in front of the princess Niangniang, it can also be seen that the princess Niangniang is a generous and easy to serve.

The key is where your heart is spent.

Saying that, Concubine Wei became a little eager, and said to Tao Ye: "Go back, you quietly take some elegant satin from my dowry and come out, Ming'er I will go to see Concubine Wu." ”

It's been almost a month since she entered the palace, and Concubine Wei is finally going to meet Concubine Wu.

Wu Yuehua was really surprised, listened to the maid's report, and raised her eyebrows: "Since Concubine Wei is here, of course you can't be lazy, you all go to the courtyard to greet you, and you have dessert in your mouth." ”

I heard that she went to see the princess yesterday and stayed for almost an hour, and then went back crying, and cried a lot after returning to the house, and didn't even eat dinner, and I don't know what happened to her, why did she suddenly remember to find herself?

Isn't she proud and cold, for fear that others will get into her?

Wu Yuehua wanted to think about it, but she still put on a smile and greeted her from the inside.

Concubine Wei had just stepped into the door, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Wu Yuehua was often wearing a silver and red flowered gown, a white silk skirt, her complexion was very good, and she stepped out of the door with a smile on her face. ”

Wu Yuehua hurriedly helped her up, took her hand and said with a smile: "Sisters, why be so polite." ”

Concubine Wei entered the back room with her, Wu Yuehua asked her to sit on the kang, Concubine Wei pushed again and again, and then she was willing to sit on the edge of the kang, and said with a smile: "I should have come to ask my sister for peace, but my sister doesn't understand the rules, and the princess and concubine have taught me a lesson yesterday, and I also know that I am wrong." Although it's late now, I just think that my sister is generous and will hurt people, so I have the cheekiness to make up for this gift, and I ask my sister to forgive my sister for being ignorant. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Momoha to bring the gift.

Wu Yuehua also guessed in her heart that this was because she saw the crown princess yesterday, but she didn't expect her to be willing to go straight to the point like this, so she unceremoniously signaled the maid to accept the things, and said with a smile: "Where does my sister say it, it's just a trivial matter, my sister is a quiet person, and she doesn't like to move around, in this case, I have something to find my sister, and it doesn't matter if I go by myself, we are now a family, what is there to worry about?" The crown princess often taught me that everything should be generous, where is the trivial thing worth being angry about? Not to mention anything else, we have more or less such a position, no matter how big a big thing is, let alone this little thing about you coming and going. ”

Wu Yuehua took a bite of the crown princess: "What the mother said, he has the ability, the outsiders bully the top, can make him burn his hands, chop his claws and go back, what kind of ability is it like a black-eyed chicken fighting in his own family?" My sister said yes? ”

Concubine Wei nodded hurriedly, sure enough, she thought well, Concubine Wu was indeed subdued by the crown princess, but this is not surprising.

Wu Yuehua smiled again: "In fact, the affairs of this family, as long as the mother is generous, the people below will naturally follow the same example, they are all relaxed, and there is a lot less anger, and my sister has probably seen it with her own eyes. Niangniang is so noble, she is so tolerant, what else do I have to be angry with my sister? ”

Wu Yuehua said very sincerely: "It's also ashamed to say, that is, I entered the palace and served my mother, so I learned this." ”

These words are also in her heart, not only for Zhou Baolu.

She does feel that her mentality is different now, after the Wu Yuhua incident, she seems to have been untied, and after a few years, she has slowly become calmer and less careful.

Concubine Wei hurriedly said: "It's not my sister's words, my sister also understood because of the princess's teaching, today one came to my sister to apologize, and the other also wanted to ask, how to serve the princess to be decent, my sister knows, my mother's family is like that, and naturally no one taught me before entering the palace." ”

Since her surname is Wei, it is doomed that she can't eat in the East Palace, and it's no wonder that she is panicked. Wu Yuehua thought for a moment: "What does Niangniang mean, you just do it, it's right." ”

Concubine Wei said tentatively: "My sister thought, our family married two mothers for me, and the two maids came in, should I show their resumes to the crown princess?" My sister didn't know the rules, and I thought that my sister was warm and tolerant, so I took the liberty to ask. ”

It seems that this concubine Wei is quite good at coming to things, Wu Yuehua suddenly felt that she was more thoughtful than she thought, so she said: "If you want to say whether it is suitable or not, I can't say it well, but just a little, my sister doesn't hide her selfishness, and she returns everything to her mother, and she only likes it." ”

In fact, Concubine Wei has already made up her mind to do this, this time she just asked for advice to explore Wu Yuehua's bottom, at this time, seeing Wu Yuehua's speech and behavior, she really has the bottom in her heart, it seems that as long as you sincerely take refuge in the crown princess, she will not treat you badly.

She talked to Wu Yuehua in Yuheyuan for a long time, and she became closer and closer, but several times, she circled the topic like the sisters at home, Wu Yuehua was not willing to answer, and she was a little cold.

Concubine Wei became more and more convinced in her heart that there was a greasy conjecture about the Wu Yuhua incident, which was definitely different from the rumors outside.

After sitting for an hour or two, Concubine Wei said goodbye with a spring breeze on her face, and went directly to see Zhou Baolu, this time she finally had some confidence in her heart.

In the evening, Zhou Baolu told Xiao Hongcheng about Concubine Wei, halfway through the conversation, Zhou Baolu suddenly stopped, tilted her head thoughtfully, Xiao Hongcheng was lying on her stomach in her arms, and Yuanyuan, who was lying on her stomach, was holding a jade Ruyi bean and teasing her, and listened to it with half of her ears, looking a little disapproving, but listening to Zhou Baolu suddenly stopped talking, it was a little strange, and looked up at her.

Zhou Baolu hesitated for a moment and said, "Hey, you say, this Wei family's idea, my father can't think of it?" Why did you give the Wei family of daughters to the younger brothers you befriended? Who wouldn't be wary of such a person? No matter how smart and capable you are, if you want to gain a firm foothold and even affect the overall situation, wouldn't it take one or two decades, what is the use? If something really happened to Concubine Jing, which one can you count on? If it's really for the good of Jing Concubine Niangniang, why not give it to those who are neutral and don't move? I wouldn't be so wary, what my father meant...... It's a little weird. ”

Zhou Baolu and Xiao Hongcheng have said more than once about the Wei family's daughters to the clan and the princes and ministers, and they both feel that this is to give the Wei family dignity, save the Wei family, and also save the meaning of Jing Concubine Niangniang.

Xiao Hongcheng asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhou Baolu hesitated and said: "Since we want to beware of the Wei family's daughter, then we will definitely want to subdue the Wei family girl when we have the opportunity...... Does Father want to investigate our response? ”

How to divide, absorb, and use people in hostile forces, this is a very important aspect of the employment strategy, the emperor gave a Wei daughter, the hostility is bright, and there is the royal protection, how to turn it into his own use, and such an identity, if it can't be used, how to deal with it? It's really like an exam question.

Xiao Hongcheng smiled: "It's a little reasonable!" You're reminding me, and I'm just in time to see how my brothers deal with it. ”

Regardless of whether his father examined him or not, he also happened to use this question to examine his subordinates, what kind of temperament, what means, how to deal with them, the women and sons of the Wei family must be different, how to guide according to the situation, but there is just a comparison.

Zhou Baolu didn't expect Xiao Hongcheng to focus so far, it was really ridiculous, and the two talked for a while about how to use Concubine Wei, Zhou Baolu said: "October 12 is the tenth birthday of the prince of Jin, although he has been born, in the end it is his own brother, and he is the first to live a whole life, the king of Jin specially brought his son into Beijing, thinking that it was also to kowtow to his father, I thought about that day, although I was lazy, how should I go to sit and sit." I also drew up a gift list, which is slightly thicker than the birthday gifts for princes and princesses on weekdays, which is also what it means, what do you say? ”

Xiao Hongcheng didn't care about these trivial matters, he held Yuanyuan's two little hands and patted them around: "You can send whatever you say, where do I care about you, but you can bring Ziyan in addition to cherries, King Jin is in Yungui all the year round, and the relatives in the family are all over there, as well as Miao Tusi, which is scary, and I don't necessarily recognize you, nor do I necessarily recognize your clothes, there are many people around you, so as not to panic when you encounter something." ”

Zhou Baolu was nervous when she said this, she had a big belly, it was naturally important, how many people expected this birth to have a son, how dare she take it lightly, so she said: "Then I'll come back earlier, Yuanyuan won't take it with me, she's still young, it doesn't matter." ”

Yuanyuan heard her mother call her name, she turned her head and looked at it suspiciously, her round eyes were black and silky, she had a lot of flesh on her body, and her neck was full of folds, Zhou Baolu couldn't help but reach out and touch it, she felt itchy, and she shrunk her neck cutely, giggled, and laughed out a string of crystal saliva.

Zhou Baolu didn't expect that Xiao Hongcheng was still a crow's mouth, but fortunately, it didn't happen to her.

The author has something to say: this is the double watch! It's almost over, arrange the ending one character by one, and I'll try to give the ending that I like to see.
