Chapter 778: Struggle for power and profit
"Then my stepmother thinks that I want to compete for the queen's position, what should I do?" Zhuo Guifei Zhuo Na asked Yuan'er for advice.
Yuan'er smiled and said sincerely: "Niangniang came to ask me for advice." It shows that my mother trusts me. Naturally, I know everything, and I can't say anything. ”
"Instead of racking her brains now to compete with Pei Niangniang for favor, it is better to settle down and get closer to the relationship with the emperor. If Niangniang can give birth to the eldest son for the emperor as soon as possible, and work hard to show her mother's appearance and attitude in front of the emperor. I believe that the mother is more precious than the child, and the emperor will naturally appoint the mother as the queen. At that time, even among the concubines in the harem, no matter who dares to make waves, they will not be able to shake the position of the mother. Only then can the mother be truly safe. ”
Yuan'er unreservedly made a move to Zhuo Guifei Zhuo Na, Zhuo Guifei Zhuo Na was grateful to Dade, thinking that Yuan'er was wholeheartedly good to her, but as everyone knows, this is just a move by Helian Yunjue to tell Yuan'er in advance and try every means to cause civil strife in the harem. And Zhuo Guifei Zhuo Na is just a pawn to realize their ambitions.
The simple Zhuo Guifei Zhuo Na, where would she think so much, she was naturally a mandarin duck, and she listened to whatever she told.
This is what Yuan'er doesn't know, there is also someone behind Pei Xiaodie, and this person is Rouyi Ma He Lian Yunjue.
After Helian Yunjue had done what Helian Yunjue had explained, Yuan'er returned to her uncle's mansion on time.
Uncle Mo Wu Qiqi was waiting for her in the hall.
"Uncle Guo went back to the house so early?" The mandarin duck walked up with a smile and said with a pleasant face.
"You went into the palace again today to see Concubine Zhuo?" Uncle Mo Wu Qiqi knows the whereabouts of Mandarin Duck well. Yuan'er didn't need to report to him at all.
Yuan'er buried her head and smiled: "Yes, the concubine heard that the appetite of the concubine is not very good, so she made some pastries and sent them to her in the palace." Drop by to visit her. ”
"You really care more about Concubine Zhuo than your own mother does about her daughter!"
Of course, Yuan'er could hear that Uncle Mo Wu Qiqi was saying something.
Yuan'er explained with a smile: "Anyway, the concubine recognized the concubine as her stepmother, and the concubine often went to the palace to care for her, which should also be done." What's more, the concubine's parents died when she was a child, and her mother's family has no one to rely on, so naturally she can only rely on the concubine and the uncle. ”
Mo Wuqi waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Haven't you heard the truth that if you rely on trees, you will fall, and everyone will run?" ”
Uncle Mo Wu Qiqi made a pun, and Yuan'er obviously heard his intentions, but she could only pretend to be confused in front of him.
"Uncle Guo's words, why can't I understand the concubine? Do we just let the concubine Niangniang be alone, helpless in the harem, no matter what? "Yuan'er deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of Mo Wu Qiqi.
"Not to mention, we think that she is holy as a righteous woman, and we cannot be the Lord ourselves. Let's just say that Zhuo Guifei has now successfully entered the palace and become a concubine, rising steadily, deeply favored by the emperor, and being in the limelight for a while, so we don't need to go over to add icing on the cake. And if the lady enters the palace so frequently and contacts the concubine, isn't she afraid that she will get involved in the harem dispute and be difficult to get out? ”
Mo Wu Qiqi is persuading Yuan'er to stop as soon as possible, and not to think about vainly trying to make waves in the harem by dominating Zhuo Na.
"Uncle Guo is really raising the concubine! The concubine is a woman's family. Your uncle wants to say to the concubine Niangniang, make some food and drink, but the concubine body is still a little better, if you want to say what tricks to help the concubine Niangniang, what ideas, the concubine does not dare, and she does not have the ability and brain. ”
Uncle Mo Wu Qiqi saw that Yuan'er was deliberately pretending to be confused in front of him and refused to answer, so he opened one eye and closed one eye and said, "It's good that Madam knows the truth in this." Knowing etiquette and keeping some sense of proportion is good for both the lady and the concubine. ”
Yuan'er bowed slightly, got up and went back to the inner room, and changed her clothes.
Mo Wu Qiqi had long been suspicious of Mandarin Child's loyalty. In order to save Helian Yunjue, Yuan'er agreed to Mo Wu Qiqi's conditions and agreed to commit himself to Mo Wu Qiqi and serve him.
However, Mo Wuqiqi's suspicion of Mandarin Duck has never relaxed. Especially Helian Yunjue, this time he came back from the war with his troops, his identity, status and reputation soared, and he became a celebrity in the court in an instant, and even the former king Jirk looked at him differently, eliminating many prejudices and opinions about Helian Yunjue before. As for the current new Rouyi Jun Jitu, he is even more fond of Helian Yunjue, and he almost obeys Helian Yunjue's words.
Uncle Mo Wu Qiqi was even more jealous of Helian Yunjue's growing power. Therefore, Helian Yunjue's previous cronies Yuan'er were also monitored more strictly.
Not to mention, every time Yuan'er enters the palace, nominally to visit her righteous daughter Zhuo Guifei, but in essence, she occasionally intersects and contacts with Helian Yunjue.
Their master and servant are plotting something in private, and the shrewd and cunning Mo Wu Qiqi will not know.
The current Mandarin Duck is a bit like chicken ribs to Uncle Mo Wu Qi, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it, after all, Mo Wu Qiqi still has some affection for Yuan'er, so he always hopes to give her a chance to let her stop the precipice and turn back in time.
Mo Wuqi, who had worked with Helian Yunjue before, knew that Helian Yunjue was ambitious, so in Helian Yunjue's heart, Mandarin Duck was just an ordinary chess piece, not much nobler. If, one day, Helian Yunjue can really achieve what he wants, then the first person he decides to abandon is likely to be Yuan'er, the person who knows his details completely.
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Mo Wuqiqi just didn't expect that such an extremely smart mandarin duck didn't know that the person she tried so hard to be loyal to was a hypocrite who was not worth her effort at all.
For Yuan'er not to listen to good words and persuasion, Mo Wuqiqi can only let her hit the south wall, and she can only die after she hits the south wall.
Although Mo Wu Qiqi has been drinking and ignoring the world recently, he still spends his days drinking. But he was already secretly monitoring and observing Helian Yunjue's every move, collecting evidence about Helian Yunjue's vain attempt to cover the sky in Rouyi and set up the new Jun Jitu of Rouyi.
However, what Mo Wu Qiqi didn't expect was that Helian Yunjue acted cautiously far beyond his imagination. Mo Wu Qiqi originally wanted to win over a group of courtiers who were above the court and had a long-standing grudge with Helian Yunjue and had a hostile relationship. But Mo Wu Qiqi never thought that those who once looked down on Helian Yunjue at all, and wanted to pull Helian Yunjue off the horse wholeheartedly, saw Helian Yunjue in the limelight at this time, but they turned against each other one by one and became the grass on the wall, even though some of them did not clearly express that they wanted to join Helian Yunjue's camp, but they had already expressed neutrality in their attitude.
