As for what Suo Ji understood, Father-in-law Xi didn't know, but Suo Ji was indeed very silent in the following days, and sometimes it was even more gloomy than before. Few people in the East Palace dared to serve in close quarters, for fear of annoying him.

On this day, Suo Ji came to Zhaohui Palace to ask for peace, only to see that in addition to Queen Fu and Wei Guifei in Chaohui Palace, there were also several concubines, and there was a charming and beautiful one who was very eye-catching, presumably His Majesty's favorite gentle beauty this year.

"The son has seen the queen mother." Suo Ji asked Queen Fu to say goodbye, and the rest asked him to say goodbye, and they all stood aside and didn't say anything.

It was not a good time for Suo Ji to come, but after a while, he asked Cui Langru to go to the Imperial Temple.

Empress Fu knew that he was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The prince is idle at the moment, and he will be busy in a while, right?" It just so happens that the palace will tell you something, and it will be the Zhongyuan Festival soon, and in previous years, after the Zhongyuan sacrifice, there would be singing and dancing, sacrificing to the gods, and praying to ward off evil spirits. It's the same this year, just thinking about getting the concubines of each palace to come up with some new regulations. ”

"Yes, the sons are still going to the imperial temple to burn incense, praying for good weather and peace for the country and the people."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really kind-hearted, he loves the people like a son, but I am afraid that burning incense and praying is a little thin, and it is only right not to let His Majesty bother." Wei Guifei said a strange sentence of yin and yang, alluding to the fact that Suo Ji was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.

Queen Fu smiled lightly, lowered her eyes, and never spoke.

For a while, Wei Guifei's words fell to the ground, all of them were embarrassed, she helped her sideburns, and said: "Your Majesty has invited some ministers and family members, I want to come to the scene is not small, Wen Mei is sensible, and specially prepared singing and dancing, the queen should reward her well." ”

"Wei Guifei is very protective of Wen Meiren, as the queen, this palace will love everyone and set an example for the world, no matter who performs well, this palace will be rewarded." Empress Fu glanced at everyone and smiled.

The concubines below were all grateful.

Queen Fu said again: "Wen Meiren is preparing songs and dances, but there is something that needs the help of the prince." I heard that the prince had a good piano with excellent music, and Wen Meiren wanted to borrow it. ”

"Erchen's strings are broken, I'm afraid I can't lend it to Wen Meiren, so I ask Wen Meiren to find another one."

Hearing this, Wen Meiren lowered her head in frustration, "Yes, it's just that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't dislike it, can you reward me with the score of "Shengshi Qingping Tune"?" ”

"Oh? It turned out that I wanted to use "Shengshi Qingping Tune", but Wen Meiren would really ask His Majesty for a new one. Wei Guifei hooked the corners of her mouth with disdain, "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reluctant to give it to you, it's a song that only he can do." ”

Suo Ji's face remained unchanged, still indifferent, "Wen Meiren, is it possible that apart from the East Palace, there is nothing that can satisfy you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in Chaohui Palace changed suddenly, and Wen Meiren hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, with a hairpin ring dingdong.

"Your Highness is angry, Wen Meiren is still young, how can she mean the East Palace? Isn't Your Highness thinking too much! Wei Guifei was very disdainful.

Queen Fu was fascinated with suspicion in her heart, on weekdays, Wei Guifei hated people who had served His Majesty for a long time, and Wen Meiren was deeply favored by His Majesty, and she was a thorn in Wei Guifei's eyes, but now how can she maintain it many times? Didn't the two unite together?

"Concubine Wei's status is noble, and she can be compared to a concubine with a low rank. How can you say something that means something like the East Palace? Others don't know if they dare to have this thought, but some people are afraid that they really have! Seeing that Concubine Wei was still going to speak, Suo Ji immediately spoke: "There is still something to do in this palace, so I won't stay long." The queen mother and the sons retired. ”

Empress Fu nodded, watched Suo Ji go out, and the others also left Chaohui Palace after sending them off.

Wen Meiren lost face today, and the concubine next to her was not without ridicule.

"I thought that Wen Meiren was deeply favored by His Majesty and had a big face, but I didn't expect to touch a nose of ash in front of the prince, if this is spread, it won't make people laugh off their big teeth." He Shuyi covered her face and whispered.

"Laugh? I have at least His Majesty's favor, I don't know what are you waiting for? ”

"You little beauty, you dare to contradict me?" He Shuyi suddenly became annoyed.

Yang Wanyi on the side hurriedly grabbed her, "He Shuyi, don't be angry, Wen Meiren is just in a bad mood, don't hurt the harmony." ”

"You are making noise here again, be careful to turn around, the queen knows and punishes you!" Wei Guifei, who came out of the Chaohui Palace, scolded unhappily, "Go back separately, don't make trouble." ”

After saying that, they went their separate ways. He Shuyi and Yang Wanyi followed behind Wei Guifei, their faces were not without grievances.

"Concubine Niangniang, the concubine doesn't understand, that gentle beauty has always been arrogant, why does the concubine protect her today? Give her a long face plainly. I am Shuyi of the fourth grade, and Sister Yang is the Wanyi of the fifth grade, but what is the position of Wen Meiren? Who hasn't been angry with us? As she spoke, He Shuyi glanced at her.

Wei Guifei said unhappily: "She can come up with a banquet with roses, decorate the entire hall, and it is so beautiful that His Majesty has given her the title of 'Fairy in Flowers', can you?" If this palace remembers correctly, it should be the night when Yang Wanyi and her clash over crystals last time, right? ”

mentioned that incident, Yang Wanyi gritted her teeth, that gentle beauty is really charming, and she actually came up with some effort, they are all noble daughters of the family, how can they compare to the unpopular style!

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wei Guifei sighed and shook her head, "Don't be jealous if you have nothing to do on weekdays, and use your brains to keep Your Majesty." ”

The two lowered their heads, "The concubine is ashamed, and I ask the concubine to forgive her sins." ”

Wei Guifei ignored the two and left directly. He Shigong, who was following behind him, saw that there was no one before he asked, "Why does Niang Niang take care of that gentle beauty today, it's really not worth it to have a quarrel with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for her." That gentle beauty is arrogant and domineering, and she is definitely not a person who can be surrounded by her mother. ”

Even if He Shigong doesn't say it, how can Wei Guifei not know?

"Have you ever heard of the saying that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it? The gentle beauty is favored, how many people are staring at it, the middle palace is the most kind on the surface, and in my heart I wish that someone would share the favor of the palace, and I will definitely not be cold to the gentle beauty. And if the palace also takes care of Wen Meiren, won't the harem be chaotic? ”

After saying that, Wei Guifei smiled proudly. He Shigong suddenly realized: "What does Niangniang mean is to make a disturbance in the harem by Wen Meiren and add to the blockage of the middle palace?" ”

"The more Wen Meiren is favored, the more lawless he becomes, if someone around him provokes a few words, wouldn't it be a fulfillment of the wish of the palace? She took all the things she gave her last time, and she must not be able to tell what is wrong with this palace. It should be the middle palace and the crown prince who are in a hurry. ”

Hearing this, He Shigong nodded in agreement, last time Wei Guifei just promised to compensate Wen Meiren for Yang Wanyi, and took the opportunity to go to a lot of precious things, that Wen Meiren had never seen the world, and accepted them all, and she had a good impression of Wei Guifei.

"Niangniang is a good plan, if you add Yang Wanyi and He Shuyi, provoke the contradiction between them and Wen Meiren, and finally blame ......" He Shigong wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes were full of calculations.

Wei Guifei hid her face and smiled, "You, you are worthy of following this palace for many years, you are smart in the end!" ”
