Chapter 197
Concubine De's people stabbed the basket, Concubine Shu's son was the culprit, the people who were favored on weekdays were cold at once, and the emperor didn't have many choices, so he was at ease with the concubine. Duan Yunqi, the king of Yu, drank tea calmly, looked at the corners of his mother's upturned mouth from time to time, and couldn't help but tap the tea table with his fingers.
The eyes were radiant, and King Yu's demonic face was extremely gentle, not so sharp at all: "The mother concubine is in a good mood?"
"Not bad!" Concubine Min took a piece of dim sum and ate it leisurely.
Duan Yunqi blinked and chuckled: "That's pretty good, even the durian cake that I hate on weekdays is eaten with relish."
Min Guifei's movements stiffened, and she couldn't swallow a mouthful of pastry in her mouth, nor did she spit it out.
The concubine's true preferences naturally have to be hidden, she will give whatever snacks she should send on weekdays, and she will deliberately be biased, only the people close to her and Duan Yunqi know that Min Guifei actually hates durian cakes, generally speaking, this kind of pastry is sent into other people's stomachs.
Disgusted, she put half of the pastry back on the plate, and Min Guifei covered it with a handkerchief and spit it out in her mouth, and the strong taste made her drink several sips of tea and rinse her mouth.
"You kid, you don't know how to remind your mother when you find a problem, just say cool things there." Concubine Min said depressedly.
Duan Yunqi's expression was extremely innocent: "I thought that the mother concubine took the pastry to feed her son......
"......" Concubine Min suddenly had such a snack stuff, the child is older, it's not easy to take it, how did this character develop?
Although she was a little puzzled about how she raised herself, it didn't prevent Concubine Min from knowing her son's shortcomings, and said with a smile: "I heard that there are a lot of show girls in this year, which are good!" I haven't found out yet, but recently I am a beautiful and talented competition, and you are not small, is it true that you have to wait for the next session?"
Duan Yunqi is eighteen years old, this age is very delicate, it is okay to marry a wife now, and there is nothing wrong with waiting until the next term, it all depends on his personal wishes.
Duan Yunqi smiled, but was silent, this reaction suddenly made Concubine Min very curious, in the past, Duan Yunqi was either impatient, or he talked about him left and right, and he couldn't wait to hurry over. What's wrong with this time? Silent and silent, but still thoughtful?
Concubine Min's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became interested: "What, don't you fall in love with that girl?" Tell your mother about it!"
Duan Yunqi let out a funny voice, with a carelessness in his eyes: "Mother, don't you get involved, isn't it messy enough to dislike it now?"
From the eldest prince to the sixth prince, there are only three left, but they are older than all the younger brothers, they have already left the palace to build a mansion, and there are many concubines.
But in the end, many people are still willing, so among the three princes, the only remaining concubine is also a popular candidate.
The Seventh Prince is already in his twenties, not to mention the main concubine, not even the side concubine!
If you have a high status, you may have a plan, but if your identity is not enough, it is good to be a princess of the Seventh Emperor.
Until King Yu, except for Concubine Min, who did not participate, the other concubines were very lively.
It's not that no one came to talk to Concubine Min, but Concubine Min had a clear attitude, and she seemed to have the idea of dragging Duan Yunqi to the next draft, and she was not in a hurry.
"Yao Yihuan, this kid also has a heart, and occasionally sends something over to show her heart, her thoughts can even be seen by the blind, don't you really like it?" Concubine Min glanced at Duan Yunqi and said faintly.
Duan Yunqi chuckled lightly and glanced at the concubine playfully: "It's just a small thing, and the concubine was bought?"
"What is bought or not, it is so ugly, this is all done by people themselves, and it is the heart that is valued." Concubine Min sighed, Luohua deliberately flowed ruthlessly, "What's more, people's purpose has always been very clear, unlike other show girls, who are everywhere, always thinking that there is one who can win and is half-hearted." ”
"Do it yourself? Similarly, I'm afraid that the queen mother and the queen mother can also have a share, and the mother concubine should not be regarded as a treasure. A hint of mockery flashed in Duan Yunqi's eyes. Concubine Min choked, and when she said this, it seemed that her intentions were not too important, and she couldn't help but glance at her poisonous son with annoyance: "Ling Qi is the first beauty, she must be good-looking, talented, and talented, and those who have some thoughts about her are afraid that they can go around the capital, why are you not satisfied?"
Duan Yunqi took a sip of tea disappreciatively, and her eyes narrowed into foxes: "What you can't get is always the best, what she likes is not me, but my attitude." If there are many people who fall in love with her, why does she feel bad?"
"What's more, Ling Qi's first beauty, mother concubine, I don't want to be tabooed by the new emperor in the future."
As a monarch, you will want to have it if you rush to this head, and it is easy to pull hatred.
Concubine Min was surprised, when she asked Duan Yunqi about this before, he never explained, only said that if you don't feel it, you don't feel it.
"Son, does your explanation mean that you are not unintentional towards her?" Concubine Min's brain has run away.
Duan Yunqi's face darkened: "Mother, did the people around you say that you are difficult to serve?" I didn't explain it before, you said that I was always distracted, but now that I have explained, you think I care again, where does it mean that?"
"I just don't want you to talk to people casually, obviously you don't get any benefits, the good things in your father's private treasury are not enough for you to choose?"
"......" Concubine Min felt that it was really heartbreaking to have such a poisonous son, and she was often speechless, completely losing the majesty of being a mother.
Covering her chest for a while, Min Guifei's expression was calm to serious: "Xiao Qi, you really don't want that position?"
Duan Yunqi did things, and Concubine Min Guifei saw it in her eyes, and many of them were clearly defenses prepared for the registration of the new emperor.
The biggest difference between Concubine Min and other concubines who have sons is that she respects her son's choice.
She is so close to the emperor in her life, she knows very well the weight that needs to be borne in that position, and deep down she actually doesn't want her son to embark on such a road of no return, of course, everything is on the premise of being able to protect herself.
The most ideal state is naturally to panic and have no way to deal with him, so he can live the life he wants.
"I don't want to." Duan Yunqi said cautiously, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes: "I'm too tired."
Concubine Min sighed, raised her eyes and looked at the pear blossoms flying outside the window: "Xiao Qi, power is a good thing, you don't want to fight, and the mother doesn't care, but you have to be mentally prepared, maybe one day what you like, the person you like will be snatched away by the powerful person, when the time comes, don't ......regret it."
Duan Yunqi raised his eyebrows and put the words in his heart, but he didn't think so.
If you don't sit in that position, it doesn't mean that you don't have power, if one day, you can only compromise for the monarch to make way, who will dare to rob him?
To put it bluntly, Duan Yunqi's idea is beautiful, and he has to be greedy a lot, he wants supreme power, but he doesn't want to be tired like a dog, so he naturally has to find another way. Looking at Duan Yunqi's reaction, Concubine Min knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel that her son was still young, and some things might not be mature!
"Xiao Qi, most women like power, do you think, a princess or a queen, which is more valuable?" Concubine Min was originally just a temptation, but now she is sure that her son has a goal.
She, as a mother, knows her son well, although Duan Yunqi hides deeply, it does not prevent her from discovering the clues.
A son who is too precocious is really not cute, everything is hidden, don't tell her as a mother, does she look like a bad mother-in-law?
Duan Yunqi raised his eyebrows and fell silent.
He knew that the words of the concubine were reasonable, most women pursue identity and power, not that people are snobbish, the social status quo is like this, just look at the current practice of show girls.
Seeing that her son was really thoughtful, the corners of Concubine Min's mouth were smiling, and she was even more sure of her guess, so she couldn't help but make persistent efforts: "Mother knows that you always think that people are doing well, and you may not need to take care of yourself, but you are not her, how do you know that people are doing well?"
"Women, when they get something, they lose a lot, they are bright on the surface, but they may not be happy on the inside."
"Xiao Qi, in that case, why did you never think about giving her happiness by yourself?"
Duan Yunqi suddenly felt that what his mother said was reasonable, and only what he gave with his own hands could determine the truth or falsehood, right?
Nodding involuntarily, Duan Yunqi suddenly came to his senses, he seemed to have been taken into the ditch by Concubine Min, and silently acquiesced to something?
Speechlessly, looking at Concubine Min covering her mouth with a handkerchief and snickering, Duan Yunqi sighed deeply, he was really a little tender, he was not a battle-hardened opponent of the concubine in the harem, he still had to practice!
Concubine Min was satisfied, with a smile on her eyebrows: "Xiao Qi, when it comes to this, admit it!" Come, tell my mother which girls are they?"
Duan Yunqi turned her head awkwardly, she didn't want Concubine Limin's gossip, so she actually talked to him? At the beginning, Yao Yihuan was used as an introduction for the later inducement? His mother's art of speaking is getting better and better, and he inadvertently takes the words away. Concubine Min sighed: "Actually, the mother concubine doesn't want you to marry Yao Yihuan, you don't like it yourself." Moreover, a woman who is too perfect on the outside is not necessarily a good thing. ”
Although Duan Yunqi kept telling himself not to pay attention, the mother's means were too high, and she could hit the red heart every time, so he had to focus.
"When a man marries a wife, does he want to know the cold and the hot, and marry a perfect woman to go home and offer?" Concubine Min was deeply touched, looking at the current emperor, her man, the father of the child, and the queen who married home is not for it? The queen's reputation back then was no worse than Yao Yihuan's, and I didn't see how much he liked it.
Duan Yunqi listened silently, and later, the mother and son said a lot of heart-to-heart words.
But Duan Yunqi was vigilant, and never mentioned that Concubine Min wanted to know the most, so angry that Concubine Min gritted her silver teeth.
In the end, there was no way, Concubine Min gave up temporarily: "You can think about it, if you don't make a move, others will come out, maybe you won't be able to recover it at that time, look at the matter of Shi Enyao, the daughter of the prefect of the Shi family, Lao Shi's face is very bad these days, if you were more rigorous at the beginning, why would it be unintentionally destroyed?"
"And now? The woman is gone, the child is gone, hey, the bamboo basket is empty!"
Duan Yunqi couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Mother, you sighed too fakely."
Concubine Min laughed: "But you can't deny it, I have a point!"
Concubine Min only has no frame when she gets along with her son, and she doesn't have to care about this and that, and she directly shows her true temperament.
"It makes sense, but if he couldn't control it at the time, others wouldn't have been able to destroy it." Duan Yunqi sneered: "However, although this matter is a bit big, it can be diverted by the mother concubine, and the father will not tear his face if he cares about the Shi family, and he will not be too ruthless." The truth is clear to many people, if the emperor is punished, it is equivalent to a complete enmity between the King of Jin and the Shi family.
King Jin is the son of Concubine Shu and a powerful heir to the throne, although the emperor is angry, he will not abolish the future of this son.
This person, the older he gets, the easier it is to be soft-hearted and benevolent, and the emperor is delaying the prince, just thinking too much, but making things a mess.
"However, the palace maid beside Concubine De should also be in charge, she will cause trouble everywhere all day long, and one day she will get into trouble, and she will be unable to clean up as a concubine." Concubine Min smiled for a moment, and then was a little puzzled: "It's that palace maid, why did she deal with the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion for no reason?"
Li Xingmian couldn't hide what she said at all, and many people knew what she had done after a little checking.
While secretly sighing at Li Xingmian's gall, he was also very curious about how Shen Qingwan avoided the sudden calculation.
Concubine Min thought for a long time, but understood Li Xingmian's motives: "Speaking of which, Li Xingmian is the woman prepared by the Zhang family for King Qin, she would deal with a show girl so suddenly, could it be that King Qin or Concubine De are optimistic about the prime minister's concubine?" But isn't the prime minister very close to Lao Shi? What's going on?"
Min Guifei, who felt that she was a little unreasonable, became a little confused the more she thought about it, there were too few clues, and some things were difficult to judge.
Concubine Min, who was caught in thoughts, completely missed Duan Yunqi's momentary astonishment and solemnity.
He knew that Shi Enyao hit the wall, but he didn't investigate it carefully and there was a cause for it, and now when he heard Concubine Min mention it for the first time, the whole person was a little unresponsive.
"I'll go and see the situation, mother, you think slowly, but it has nothing to do with you, so don't be too nerve-wracking." Duan Yunqi pretended not to care and stood up, flicking the dust on his body and preparing to leave.
"Huh? Oh, go for it......" Concubine Min was obviously not focused on this.
Duan Yunqi came out of the palace, his face was slightly cold: "Ah Jin, go and have a look."
The Jinyi waiter who followed Duan Yunqi responded, turned around and disappeared quickly.
Duan Yunqi looked up in the direction of Chu Xiu Palace, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Shen Qingwan, who was in Chuxiu Palace, was quite surprised to find that Yefu had a lot of money, and he actually scraped together another 30,000 taels to Shen Yijia, and in the case of a clear strategic goal, this silver should be enough.
"Hehe, the private money of the Shen Mansion is quite a lot!" Shen Qing sighed twice, looking at the old lady, Aunt Liu, and Shen Cheng with 10,000 taels each, so simply, where is the embarrassment of the store coming to the door to make money?
