Chapter 199: Rong Guo courtesy
The sky was bright, and Fengyi Palace was in chaos, but Aunt Gu Yue was rarely happy. Since the two princes have successively left the palace to build a mansion, it is rare for Fengyi Palace to be so lively.
Today, the crown prince and princess entered the palace as a courtesy, and King An and his wife will also enter the palace together.
It is rare to get together, not to mention that the queen is happy in her heart, and she gets up early to freshen up. Aunt Gu Yue, an old slave who grew up watching the two princes, couldn't help but rejoice.
Two carriages came from two directions almost simultaneously and stopped in front of the palace gate, the curtain was lifted, and the four men got out of the carriage one after another.
Qi Simin's eyes lit up when he saw Bai Yanran, as if he had seen his relatives again after a long absence, but then he didn't scruple about anything, he didn't run over happily, and smiled at Bai Yanran implicitly.
Ji Chengyu straightened the collar of the cloak for her sideways, Qi Simin blushed slightly, and walked over with Ji Chengyu, only then happily grabbed Bai Yanran's arm, leaned over and whispered.
"Fortunately, I heard about it in the carriage today. You'll come too, and I'll be relieved. ā
Bai Yanran looked at Qi Simin, who was revealed in his true form for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at what you said, today I came to the palace to meet her, not to go to the Hongmen banquet." ā
Qi Simin laughed dryly, glanced at Ji Chengyu, who was walking in front and talking to Ji Lingyun, and whispered to Bai Yanran: "I have only seen the queen mother a few times at the palace banquet in the past, and I always feel that it is too cold and majestic, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to get along." And you also know the inside story of the marriage at the beginning, I am afraid that the queen will not like me in my heart.
In short, with you, I can always feel more at ease in my heart. ā
Bai Yanran frowned slightly, then looked as usual, shook her head and said, "Although the queen mother is majestic, she is not a difficult person to get along with. You don't need to worry too much about it, after all, it won't be common for the queen to live in the harem for a long time.
And even if there is a real case, you can't get any peace of mind if you hold me, after all, I can't be with you all the time. Instead of asking for peace of mind from me, it would be as effective as His Royal Highness the Prince. ā
Qi Simin shook his head, his expression unconsciously became a little more confused, and his voice became lower and lower.
"But IāI'm a little afraid of him."
Bai Yanran couldn't help but laugh out loud, Qi Simin was annoyed and ashamed, and was about to leave, but was coaxed by Bai Yanran.
Bai Yanran smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too cold, but you are the crown princess, and you are not a subordinate of the prince, what is there to fear?" Are you afraid that he will dismiss you and investigate you, or will you be beheaded all over the house? ā
Qi Simin also felt that this was the truth after hearing it, but he couldn't say why, so he had to say stupidly: "That's right, but I'm just afraid." ā
Seeing that Fengyi Palace was close in front of her, Bai Yanran had to suppress the words in her heart for the time being, and only shook her head helplessly: "You, now you are all the ones who are the crown princess." It is said that the road is far away and the horse is known. Force, see people's hearts for a long time, and you feel how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you. ā
While speaking, they had already arrived in front of the gate of Fengyi Palace, Ji Lingyun and Ji Chengyu were already waiting in front, and several people went in together.
Just like when Bai Yanran first entered the palace to meet her, there was still only the Tong family. After Aunt Gu Yue read the rules, the queen said a few words as usual to show her admonition, and gave the rewards of the emperor and queen together, which was considered to be a resignation.
The queen smiled: "Just now Gu Yue said that the crown princess and Princess An came together, and the palace remembered that the two of you are still cousins, and they really have a close relationship." ā
After that, she looked at Bai Yanran and asked, "Why didn't you wear the gilded jade begonia that the palace gave you today and shook it?" ā
Bai Yanran lowered her eyes slightly, got up and replied: "The things rewarded by the queen mother are valuable, and the concubines are afraid of accidentally bumping into them, so the girls are good to take them." ā
Although Tong was slightly displeased, he also smiled: "Although gilding is rare, you don't have to be so careful. It's just a step of shaking, and there's nothing tight. ā
After that, a palace man holding a tray came in, lifted the cloth towel, and inside it was exactly the same gilt inlaid jade begonia and shook it.
Tong looked at Qi Simin lovingly and said, "The crown princess and Princess An already have a very good relationship, but now they have become a family again.
On the same day, the palace gave Princess An a gilded jade begonia and shook it, and it couldn't be biased.
Today. As soon as you come back to the palace for the first time, this step is specially rewarded to you by the palace. I hope you can be tolerant and generous, virtuous and gentle, and take care of the prince's backyard in the future, so that the prince has no worries. ā
Qi Simin didn't hear the queen's words, and got up a little panicked to thank him. However, Ji Chengyu heard something, frowned, but quickly covered up his displeasure.
Bai Yanran's heart moved, the queen has never been such a calm person, the prince and Qi Simin are only newly married now, and the queen can't wait to start beating Qi Simin, but what kind of wind did you hear?
The crown prince and the crown princess were newly married and entered the palace to meet them, and they should have also gone to see the emperor. When Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran got married, Yuan He Emperor Zheng and the Tong family were not happy, and they didn't even treat Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran very well.
Now that the prince is married, although Emperor Yuan He has a heart, he is powerless. There are rumors outside, all saying that the emperor is heartbroken because of the death of the concubine, but the recurrence of Emperor Yuanhe's old illness is indeed a thing. Keyuan
Speaking of this, Tong couldn't help but say a few more words, stretched his eyebrows and said: "Recently, things have been one after another, and they are all good things." It's just that the emperor's head wind has flare up again, although the imperial doctor said that it is not a big problem, but he needs to recuperate in peace, and Chengyu and Lingyun can have more snacks for the affairs of the court. ā
The queen's words can be said to have a deep meaning, after all, Emperor Yuanhe has favored Ji Sihong for many years, which naturally makes the queen feel suspicious. Now that the troubles in her heart are gone, and the power is in the hands of the prince again, the queen's meaning is very clear.
Seeing that Ji Chengyu and Ji Lingyun didn't talk, Bai Yanran turned her head and asked: "My father is unwell, and I can't do without people around me, and the queen mother must also take care of her body." ā
The queen waved her hand, there was not much worry in her eyes, and said lightly: "The palace is old, in the end, it is not as good as the younger sisters in the harem to please the emperor." These concubines, concubines and nobles are here, and there is no shortage of people in the emperor. ā
The emperor's centrifugal affairs are known to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the people know that there is a Lan Guifei who is favored forever. Everyone here is her own people, and the queen doesn't have to bother to hide anything.
Bai Yanran knew in her heart, no wonder she didn't see Concubine Shu come over today, it turned out that she was busy competing for favor, and she didn't care about courting the queen here.
Bai Yanran, the unabashed and pitiful nobleman at the Lantern Festival Palace banquet, still has some impressions, her complexion is beautiful, and she is a little like Concubine Lan. I heard that it is a newcomer who has not been in the palace for a long time, and it is not surprising that the emperor is still greedy for freshness.
But Ru Concubine, who had been unknown for many years, suddenly became favored, which made Bai Yanran a little surprised.
For example, the concubine is weak in family affairs, weak in temperament, and does not know how to compete for favor. Ji Yuren, who gave birth to the fourth prince back then, should at least have a concubine, but Ji Yuren is a heavenly cripple, and even if he is a concubine, he is also left out in the cold.
If it weren't for Ji Yuren's appreciation from the emperor later, and even with Ru Concubine, he was finally promoted to the position, I am afraid that he would be just a low-scoring nobleman for the rest of his life. I don't want to lose Concubine Lan now, but Concubine Ru has also regained her favor.
Ji Lingyun said suddenly: "Yesterday I saw a team of foreign carriages and horses on the street, looking not like ordinary merchants, but like a royal ritual, has the queen mother heard anything?" ā
Bai Yanran's heart jumped, and she heard Tong Shi say: "You are sharp-eyed, you look good, that is the envoy that Nanrong came to ask for." Yesterday, the envoy entered the palace, but the emperor did not directly summon him and sent him away. ā
Bai Yanran's heart sank, and what should have come has come.
Ji Chengyu and Ji Lingyun had actually heard a little rumor, but they came to the Tong family to confirm it, and they exchanged glances with each other when they heard this. Qi Simin was puzzled: "Counting it, this Nanrong Young Emperor is only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he is in a hurry to marry the queen?" ā
Tong's eyebrows showed a sad look, and said: "It's not the young emperor of Nanrong, this time the envoys of Nanrong came to ask for the regent to marry the princess regent." Listening to the emperor's tone, Nanrong is deliberately asking to marry my princess Dali, and the emperor's mind has not yet been decided, so he wants to dry the Nanrong mission first. ā
Although it is said that the princess who asks to marry the princess as the regent has a high self-esteem, but in Nanrong, the regent is in charge of most of the government, and the authority is even greater than that of the young emperor of Nanrong, and the princess marrying is not a disgrace to her status.
Qi Simin couldn't understand the reason, but Bai Yanran knew it.
It is good that the two countries are good at marrying and marrying each other, but at the same time, they also make clear their positions.
Although Nanrong is now the regent in power, the young emperor of Nanrong is getting older, and he is the rightful son of heaven, and it is still unknown what the situation in Nanrong will be in the future.
Now, if Da Li is on the wrong team, it is inevitable that there will be trouble in the future, but it is not good to directly refuse to ask for marriage, which is a tricky thing.
After talking for a while, the Tong family still has harem chores to deal with. Ji Chengyu and Ji Lingyun were still talking about the court, and Bai Yanran and Qi Simin were also talking together.
Qi Simin said worriedly: "If you really want to let the princess go to make peace, there are only two princesses of the right age in the palace now." The second princess has been weak since she was a child, and she is afraid that she will not be able to marry and marry far away, so only Lingxi will be left. ā
Although Qi Simin and Lingxi have not met a few times, they are very close to each other, and they are a little worried about her at the moment. Seeing that Bai Yanran was also frowning, she was obviously at a loss, and said: "Not to mention that this is far away from marrying in a foreign country, then Nanrong Ke still has a princess who is not easy to get along with, and if you think about it, you will not live in peace if you marry in the past." ā
At the palace banquet that day, Princess Jiaye embarrassed Lingxi in public, but was put on a show by Bai Boren, and lost face. I don't know what deep hatred she has with Lingxi, who has never met, and later targeted Lingxi several times.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching and there would be some delay on the road, the envoys of Rongguo were so anxious that Princess Jiaye would not go back.
The return journey was delayed again and again, and in the end, it was Nanrong Palace that sent several letters in a row to call people back, and it finally stopped.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanran suddenly understood what Princess Jiaye had done in the first place. She should have heard something at that time, so she rushed to come and target everywhere, wanting to make Lingxi retreat.
It's just that Princess Jiaye had never been to Dali in her previous life, so Bai Yanran had only heard two gossips about this Princess Jiaye from others. This beautiful princess Nanrong, the most talked-about thing is her charm.
It is said that later, there were more than a dozen people in the mansion of the eldest princess of Nanrong, all of whom were handsome sons, but they were all willing to serve a daughter.
It's no wonder that she is famous, and Emperor Nanrong and the regent are also helpless against this eldest princess.
Bai Yanran didn't know much about Rong Guo in her previous life, except for Princess Lingxi, who died in a foreign land, but later heard that Emperor Rong seized power, and the regent was nowhere to be found.
I don't know if there will be a different ending in this life with the variable of Princess Kaye.
