Chapter Seventy-Six: Concubine Rou's Provocation
Yu Die'er led the servants through the palace alley, her light-colored dress swaying in the wind, and she was looked at by the Rou Guifei who came from the fork in the road not far behind her.
Because Die'er walked in front of the minions, Concubine Rou looked over from behind, only saw a head, and her body was blocked by the minions behind, but that's it, Concubine Rou still recognized her at a glance, although at this time there were also sparse people walking around the palaces on the road, and Yu Die'er and his party were not very conspicuous among them, but in the eyes of Concubine Rou, Yu Die'er's figure was so abrupt. See it at a glance.
Concubine Rou felt that it was because of Yu Die'er that Yan'er began to contradict herself, because of her, she also slapped Yan'er, because she hit the county lord, which made Prince Hui angry with him many times...... So she's like a needle, just seeing it is enough to prick your heart palpitations.
It's this girl who bewilders Yan'er and seems to take a lot of things lightly, she doesn't pay attention to a good marriage, and even has the idea of giving up the position of the prince, if she hadn't used all kinds of means to stop her, I'm afraid Yan'er would really accept her as a concubine, this kind of woman who has no background and can't help Yan'er at all, she won't accept it.
Now that there is a matter of Concubine Zhuang and the marriage with Linlang, I don't know if anything will happen to Prince Hui? Will it continue to delay? When I heard the news of Concubine Zhuang's assassination last night, Concubine Rou was so frightened that her hands and feet became weak, so she did not go to Tianxi Palace last night.
Early in the morning, I ordered someone to investigate, wanting to know the details of what happened last night, and after the slave came back to tell her, Concubine Rou was even more worried, because in addition to Prince Hui's attitude towards this matter, she also heard a piece of news that gave her a headache, and the emperor actually let Hetai enter the court as an official?
A second prince who was not valued by the emperor in the past is now attracting attention! First he was crowned king, and now he has an official position. At present, the emperor is in good health, and when the crown prince can succeed to the throne, I don't know how many years it will take! At that time, Hetai has been in the court for a long time, and he may have already taken over the power of the court, who knows if he will become the second Prince Hui? At that time, he will be the biggest threat to Heyan.
All these changes made Concubine Rou feel like a numb, she used to think that the second prince did not have a mother to fight for him, nor did he have the power of the mother's family, and the emperor was also estranged from him, even if there was a queen mother who favored him, but the queen mother had no real power, and it was expected that he would not be able to make any waves.
So she never put Hetai in her eyes, and never regarded him as an object that could compete with the prince for power. is only dedicated to guarding against Concubine Su and the queen, and there are a few favored concubines with the emperor. I didn't expect that what I missed has now become a threat.
She didn't understand, how could it be clear that Hetai should die when he went to war, how could he win the battle and return with such glory? Is it providence? Or is it luck? Or has Hetai been hiding all along?
At the eventful moment, Concubine Rou was very afraid that something would go wrong with Heyan at this juncture, if she annoyed Prince Hui again and the marriage collapsed, then she would have no capital to fight with Hetai, so she went to Chuqing Palace in person early in the morning, planning to explain these things more clearly to Heyan.
The first is to let him accompany the county lord of Linlang more recently, to comfort the county lord's sad heart, and at the same time let Prince Hui see that the prince is on his side, and the second is to tell him not to break the connection with Yu Die'er and make the county lord unhappy and affect the marriage. This is what Concubine Rou is most worried about, yesterday's fainting of Yu Die'er was passed on by the mouthy minions, Heyan was in a hurry to visit, if he didn't stop himself, he would definitely go again.
Fortunately, he didn't come out when Prince Hui confronted the emperor last night, otherwise he would have offended Prince Hui thoroughly, and that stupid hat Hetai wanted to be in the limelight and went, and he flattered the emperor but offended Prince Hui, and he suffered from it!
In this way, there is no strong enemy among the princes, and there is one less strong courtier in the court who monopolizes the government, and Heyan's current position as the crown prince and the future emperor are more stable.
Concubine Rou is now on the way to Chuqing Palace, she didn't want to meet Yu Die'er, she wanted to give up, the well water did not violate the river water, but she was afraid that Yu Die'er would not die, and would entangle the prince, and the prince's mind for her must not be able to let go, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
So I thought about teaching Yu Die'er a lesson, and also made her recognize the facts, and broke her mind! After making up her mind, Concubine Rou raised her eyes again, but found that Yu Die'er and her party didn't know when they had stopped. I didn't pay attention to my thoughts, so I stepped up my steps, and when I got closer, I realized that Yu Butterfly was standing there talking to someone. That person was none other than the gnashing of his teeth that he hated.
When did these two people who couldn't hit the eight poles become so familiar? This surnamed Yu is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and as soon as he left the Chuqing Palace, he got involved with Hetai?
Concubine Rou walked a few steps quickly, and when she came to the two, she raised her voice and pretended to meet by chance: "Yo, it's the second prince, is this an early dynasty?"
Hetai heard the sound and looked over.
After Prince Hui left last night, the emperor sent everyone back to the palace, and then took Hetai to move to the Xuanyi Palace, and the hall was brightly lit all night, as if the two had discussed all night. It is no wonder that the emperor attaches so much importance to it, and the early dynasty after dawn must have a war of words with hundreds of civil and military officials, of course, we must discuss the countermeasures first, so as not to have any baskets when we get it. Who knows if Prince Hui will gather his henchmen overnight and put pressure on him in the early dynasty?
It wasn't until dawn that I saw Hetai come out of the Xuanyi Palace, go back to Haoyuezhai, change into the court clothes sent by the eunuch earlier, and prepare to go to the court.
Fortunately, the emperor had already expected the situation that would occur, and the two also discussed how to deal with it, otherwise they might really lose in the hands of those people and not be able to take office smoothly.
Now everything is a foregone conclusion, and the emperor's heart is at ease. As soon as he got out, he went to the palace of the Queen Mother, and invited Hetai to go with him and share breakfast with the Queen Mother.
Hetai was worried about Yu Die'er's body, and he didn't know if her poison had another attack, so he excused himself to go back to change his clothes, and returned to Haoyuezhai to get the medicine, planning to go to Ximian Palace to see Die'er's situation first, and then tell her about the medicine, and then go to Rongxiang Hall to see the emperor and the queen mother.
Coincidentally, he was only halfway to the road, and he saw Yu Die'er coming over with a slave, and he was a little angry, this little girl, isn't her body clear? However, in addition to her bad face, her slender figure is steady when she walks around, and she looks fine. It wasn't like he was about to pass out, so he was relieved.
The two had just stood still and hadn't said a few words, when he was about to call Yu Die'er aside to talk about the medicine, when he was interrupted by a voice.
Hetai raised his eyes and saw that it was Concubine Rou, and said lightly: "Concubine Niangniang Jin'an!"
Concubine Rou nodded in response, her eyes looked at Yu Die'er, and she pretended to be surprised: "Isn't this the imperial lady?
"Concubine Niangniang Jin'an!" Yu Die'er also greeted coldly and did not give a salute. Didn't say much.
According to the level, even if Yu Die'er does not ask for peace, it is natural, and the imperial female officials respect one product, and there is no need to salute the concubines and officials below the first grade. Although female officials are also part of the errand of serving people, it also depends on who they serve? The imperial female official is the emperor's chamberlain. In addition to calling oneself a slave in front of the emperor, queen, and queen mother, one does not have to call oneself a slave in front of others. It's the highest level of treatment among palace officials.
And the position of the concubine is from the first rank, so there is no need to salute her according to the system. And Yu Die'er said hello to her, which can be regarded as giving her face, no matter what, she is the prince's mother, although she hates herself, for the sake of the prince's many maintenance and friendship with her, Yu Die'er doesn't want to be held up in front of her. And knowing that she was not used to seeing herself and didn't want to have more branches, Yu Die'er adhered to the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, and not being strange to many people, so she said hello to her.
I never thought that if people want to find fault with you, no matter what you do, you can't escape!
Of course, Concubine Rou knew that Yu Die'er didn't have to ask for peace to herself, she laughed and said: "Your invitation, this palace doesn't dare to be, although you are from a poor family, but now you are a first-class female official, which is equivalent to a grass chicken wearing phoenix feathers, and you should also think highly of yourself, you don't have to invite An who shouldn't be invited, and you don't have to lower your head if you shouldn't be lowered." ”
The ridicule in these words can be understood by anyone, the grandmother and the palace maid behind Concubine Rou are all arrogant, and their eyes are full of contempt, they are not so strange, Yu Die'er is from a humble background, but she is in a high position, how can they not be jealous?
And the minions behind Yu Die'er are full of anger, this Rou Guifei is too much, obviously she shouldn't give you a greeting, asking you to say goodbye is to give you face, why was she humiliated instead, and her heart was full of indignation, and she was aggrieved for Yu Die'er. It's just that they are just slaves, and they are soft-spoken, and they dare not speak out when they dare to be angry!
Hetai's face was cold when he heard this, what is the matter with this Rou Guifei? What kind of grass chicken is draped with phoenix feathers? Is there such a ridicule and sarcasm? He hurriedly glanced at Yu Die'er, for fear that she would be angry, but when he saw her clear pupils, he looked into it quietly, without a trace of anger.
She wasn't angry, or didn't react for a moment?
Yu Die'er was angry, but she understood that Concubine Rou just wanted to make herself angry and let herself fight with her hysterically, so that she would lose face, and she would have more ugly words. You're making me angry, not letting you get your way!, so she tried to suppress her anger and didn't show it in the slightest.
"Thank you, Lady Gui, for mentioning it. She replied lightly.
Seeing that there was no expected effect, Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment, frowned, and thought that this little girl could really bear it.
"The ancients said that those who are close to ink are black! It's really true, the fish girl is now close to the king of Jinyang, and even her temperament is so similar?
