Bai Yanran and Qi Simin sat in Fengyi Palace for a while, and the tea on the table was not cold when Ji Lingyun came to find it. Tong frowned slightly, Concubine Shu covered her lips and smiled: "Look at King An and the princess are really in love, they have to come in a hurry after being separated for a while." It is not clear what kind of Longtan tiger's den this Fengyi Palace is, which makes the prince so uneasy. ”

Ji Lingyun's gaze swept over a few people, and when he saw Aunt Gu Yue's gaze wandering, and Concubine Shu was talking with such a yin and yang weirdness, he guessed in his heart. He sat down beside Bai Yanran with a calm expression, looked at Concubine Shu and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu is really good at joking, if the queen mother is here in Longtan Tiger's Den, then wouldn't Concubine Shu become a tiger?" ”

Without waiting for Concubine Shu's reaction, Ji Lingyun said again: "Concubine Shu has been in the limelight recently, don't you go to accompany your father at this moment, aren't you afraid of being preempted by Concubine Ru and the noble people?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tong was about to blame the words and swallowed back. Although the Tong family and Emperor Yuanhe have been separated from each other for many years, Concubine Shu is the confidant of the Tong family, and it is her support that has brought her to where she is today.

But a woman's mind has always been elusive, even if she has already died to Emperor Yuan He, but in the end, it is a husband and wife. Now that she has heard how Concubine Shu is favored, she still has some subtle displeasure and estrangement in her heart.

Concubine Shu's face was not good-looking, she looked at Tong's face and hurriedly expressed her loyalty: "Although the concubine is lucky to have a little pity from the emperor, she never dares to forget her roots." The concubine will never dare to forget the queen's protection and support, and she should take the queen's mother as the leader, and it will be difficult to repay her kindness in death. ”

Tong said lightly: "They are all their own sisters, and my sister is serious." ”

Although she listened to Tong's generosity, Concubine Shu still didn't dare to take it lightly, and her arrogance was much more restrained.

The palace people came up and served tea to Ji Lingyun, and the atmosphere eased slightly. Tong Shifu looked at Qi Simin again and said: "If something like this happened today, the emperor must have called the prince to discuss political affairs, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a long time, so you can go back by yourself in a while." The prince shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country, and often takes care of himself, not to mention the miscellaneous affairs in the house.

Although there are stewards of Liang in the Prince's Mansion, as well as Xu Quan and Red Kite, they are all subordinates in the end, and they can't be completely assured. In the future, you will take care of the middle feed in the house and take care of the affairs of the back house, so that the prince will have no worries. ”

Qi Simin got up in panic, and Tong seemed to be quite satisfied with her reaction, and didn't say anything more.

His gaze swept over Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran, and he said casually: "Although the emperor has not yet made a decision on the matter of marriage, the marriage of the two princesses should indeed be grasped.

Yesterday, Zhiqing sent news that she was now more than three months pregnant, and the horses were all beaming.

Lingyun, Yanran, it's been half a year since you got married, but there has been no movement so far. The palace looked at the four princesses and the six princes all day long, and they really liked it tightly, and they wanted to see the emperor and grandson as soon as possible. ”

Qi Simin looked at Bai Yanran worriedly, and found that although she didn't see anything unusual on her face, the fingertips hidden in her sleeves were clenched hard until they turned white.

Ji Lingyun knew that the Tong family would talk about this matter, but he was not flustered, and calmly laughed with the Tong family: "Don't worry, the queen mother, there must be good news from the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law soon." You also know that the emperor has never liked to be restrained too much, and it's good to have a Yan'er, I don't want to be a father so early. ”

Tong's face sank, slapped the table, and scolded: "Nonsense! ”

Concubine Shu can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and said with clear ill intentions: "Why is His Royal Highness King An so anxious to take the fault on himself, I heard that the princess's maiden mother is in a hurry, and she is searching for folk remedies all day long."

It's just that although the princess has been taking fetal pills, she has never been able to get pregnant. It's hard for His Royal Highness King An to protect her like this, but it reminds the concubine of the protector of the country, which is really moving. ”

Concubine Shu's words made several people change their complexions, especially Ji Lingyun and Tong's faces.

Speaking of the protector of the country back then, he is also a strange person, he was the founding hero who followed the ancestors to fight the world, and was later named the protector of the country, which shows that he was favored by the ancestors.

However, although the protector of the country is both civil and military, and he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he is criticized behind his back. It's just because this Duchess Protector is a child who can't give birth, and the Duke Protector neither wants to divorce his wife nor marry another wife, nor does he want to take a concubine and have children.

Later, even the ancestors couldn't look at it, and after they couldn't bear to cut off the loyal ministers, they privately told the protector that they wanted to give marriage, but they were politely rejected by the protector.

The Protector said to the ancestors: "Wechen was born poor, but Mrs. is a beautiful lady, and she insisted on marrying Wechen not for glory and wealth, but for Weichen to be sincere."

Now Weichen is soaring, and he is even more reluctant to be treacherous. What if my wife and I don't have a queen? As long as he can keep the peace of the prosperous world, Weichen will not come to this world in vain. ”

Later, the protector of the country really never abandoned his wife for the rest of his life, and did not take a concubine and give birth to children. Later, the Duke of Protector went earlier, and the Duchess of Protector was martyred, and the Protector Mansion was annihilated.

Now Concubine Shu specially mentioned the Protector of the Kingdom, obviously meaning something. Ji Lingyun's face finally changed, and she looked at Concubine Shu with cold eyes, Concubine Shu couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and she couldn't say the next words anymore. Hassle-free

Qi Simin couldn't help but start a round and said: "Concubine Shu is exaggerating, Yanran and the prince have only been married for half a year, and the time has not yet come. Princess Zhiqing didn't get married for almost a year before she became pregnant, and this matter was urgent. ”

Tong's face softened a little, but he still looked at Ji Lingyun and said: "What the crown princess said is also reasonable, but Princess An is the main mother, and she has to take care of the palace feeds, so she lacks skills in the end." If you are pregnant in the future, you will not be able to serve your husband well.

You have been married for a long time, so you should be given two concubines, so that you can open up branches for the royal family as soon as possible, and you can also share the worries of the princess. Lingyun, what do you think? ”

Ji Lingyun retracted the sharp edge in his eyes, and was in a dilemma for a while. In the past, there was the protector of the country as Concubine Shu said, but now if he insists on refusing again, I am afraid that the queen mother will have a bad heart. But let him accept the concubine, it is absolutely impossible.

Ji Lingyun was thinking about how to refuse, Bai Yanran, who had been silent, suddenly got up and saluted and said: "Erchen has thanked his mother for the prince, this matter should have been handled by Erchen, but there are many miscellaneous things in the house, and I have not been able to spare time." Now that he has to bother his mother, the sons really don't want to go. ”

Seeing that Bai Yanran was so sensible, Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face: "The queen mother knows your difficulties, so you don't have to be polite to the queen mother." You are a smart and good boy, no matter how many people there are in the house in the future, you must have the strength of a housewife, and you must not tolerate people. ”

Bai Yanran responded obediently: "What the queen mother admonished, the sons and ministers have all written it down. ”

Tong nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, don't stand up, sit down." ”

Bai Yanran sat back, and it wasn't until this time that Ji Lingyun seemed to come back to his senses, looking at Bai Yanran in disbelief, and saw that Qi Simin couldn't come back to his senses.

Tong's goal was achieved, and he was in a good mood, exchanged a look with Concubine Shu on the side, and said with a smile: "Although it is a concubine in the house, it can't be sloppy, so as not to attract some people who are not in the stream, but it will make the house restless."

The two queens carefully selected by their mothers are all innocent and self-contained. One of them you have all seen is Concubine Shu's sister Ruoyu, who can be regarded as the nephew of this palace. ”

Tong Shi looked over and said, "If it weren't for the last time we met, if the rumor had never forgotten Ling Yun, Concubine Shu's family would be reluctant." Lingyun, people don't seek fame and are devoted to you, you have to treat others well. ”

Although Tong said this with Ji Lingyun, his eyes looked at Bai Yanran as if he were nothing, obviously saying it to the two of them. Bai Yanran understood and replied: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the son will definitely take good care of Sister Ruoyu, and she will not be wronged." ”

Although the Tong family was a little dissatisfied with Ji Lingyun's lack of a word, he also knew his son's stubbornness, and knew that he was dissatisfied with his own investigation and arrangement.

But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, she believes that as long as people enter the house, everything will be easy. Men, wait until you get to the bed and then blow the pillow wind, and it will naturally soften.

And Ruoyu is smart, beautiful and empathetic, which man doesn't like such a woman. Lingyun used to be the wind. has a chic temperament, although he is now looking at his heart, how can he not be greedy for freshness.

In fact, the Tong family originally preferred to point Tong Ruoyao to Ji Chengyu's side, after all, Ji Chengyu will inherit the throne in the future, and Tong Ruoyao will become a harem concubine, so she will naturally be more able to contribute to the Tong family.

It's just that I don't want the emperor to have a plan, and I want to give the daughter of the family and the Zuo family as the crown prince's side concubine. Chengyu has always been a cold character, and with these two people suppressing him, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the rumors to come out.

And Tong Ruoyu also loved Ji Lingyun wholeheartedly, so the Tong family had to retreat to second. It's just that there is a precedent for Ji Lingyun's refusal last time, so he can't help but mind, Tong Ruoyao would rather be a nameless concubine first.

Of course, Tong Ruoyao's ambition is not like this, don't talk about the position of a side concubine, she sees in her eyes that all she wants in her heart is the position of the main concubine. Tong Ruoyao has a very high opinion of herself, and she believes that with her own intelligence, she will definitely be able to achieve her wishes.

Everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, Ji Lingyun had no intention of sitting and listening anymore, and the Tong family did not force it to achieve its goal, even Concubine Shu smiled very kindly, and did not find any fault.

On the way out of the palace, Ji Lingyun walked in front alone, and Qi Simin and Bai Yanran were a few steps behind. Qi Simin looked at Ji Lingyun's obviously forbearant back, and couldn't help whispering to Bai Yanran: "Yanran, why are you so troubled." Obviously, I saw that His Royal Highness King An was ready to refuse, why did you have to agree, isn't this embarrassing for yourself? ”

Bai Yanran looked as usual, but her face was a little pale. She smiled bitterly and asked, "Simin, you knew that you would have two side concubines soon after marrying, but you still got married." Now I am too, knowing that I am embarrassed by myself, and I can only bear it, we are all involuntarily. ”

Simin sighed and had nothing to say. After a while, seeing that the palace gate was imminent, he asked again: "Then what are you going to do next?" I don't think His Royal Highness King An appreciates it. When the people get to the house, I'm afraid there will only be more bad things. ”

Bai Yanran's eyes flashed, and she suddenly replied, "Simin, do you know what to do if you want to prevent the weeds from being revived?" ”

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, in order to prevent future troubles, is the best policy.
