Chapter 290: Intention to let her enter the palace
But think about it, she has always been uncontrolled, and the eldest princess naturally can't take a risk.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen from the attitude of the eldest princess towards herself on weekdays that she actually does not please the eldest princess.
Therefore, the eldest princess must be unwilling to see Wen Rongxian and herself close to her, and she will definitely think of a way to separate them, lest Wen Rongxian, who was originally easy to control, be spoiled by herself, a deviant.
"That being the case, my cousin only cares about it on weekdays. Now the plague is causing panic in the hearts of the people, and yesterday the imperial examination began again.
In addition, the crown princess and others of Nanyue are still guests in Kyoto, and the civil and military officials are basically busy with these three things now.
The eldest princess and the emperor will not pay all their attention to you for a while, and my cousin can only relax now. If Dr. Xiao Chen can develop a prescription to control the epidemic in the state city this time, the emperor will definitely reward him at that time.
Will my cousin still be afraid that her marriage won't work out when the time comes? Although Jiang Yuanliu knew in his heart that even if Dr. Xiao Chen could return to Beijing with meritorious service, Zhao Duqi would only be the head of the Tai Hospital who named him the fifth grade at most.
The eldest princess would never use such a noble background as the eldest lady of the Fuguo Mansion to win over a little imperial doctor.
It's just that for the sake of today's plan, she can only appease Wen Rongxian first, so as not to mess up because she is in a hurry, which will not only put her in a dilemma, but also bring unpredictable dangers to Dr. Xiao Chen.
How could Wen Rongxian not know Jiang Yuanliu's intentions, so he nodded and did not speak.
At this moment, Yun Yao trotted in with a panicked face, and seeing that the two were still talking here, she immediately lowered her voice and reminded: "Miss, Miss Biao, Aunt Fang from the eldest princess's side is here." ”
Hearing this, the two immediately glanced at each other, and then saw Jiang Yuanliu quickly pick up the tea cup in front of him, and quickly dodged behind the screen.
As soon as Jiang Yuanliu hid, he saw Aunt Fang walking in with a few little palace maids.
"The slave has seen the eldest lady." Seeing that there were only Wen Rongxian and Yun Yao in the inner room, Aunt Fang smiled heartily and saluted towards Wen Rongxian.
"Auntie, please get up, why do you have time to come to my side today?" Wen Rongxian said lazily, but the hands under the table were already nervously clenched into fists.
Aunt Fang saw that Wen Rongxian was a little excited at this time, and she didn't care, so she turned sideways and gave up her gaze, pointed to the things that the little palace maid was holding in her hand, and said respectfully: "The eldest princess knows that the eldest lady likes embroidery on weekdays, so she ordered the slave maid to specially pick some of the most popular palace satin in the palace today and send them to pass the time for the eldest lady."
There are also some newly developed dim sum from the palace dining room, which the eldest princess also enjoyed today. I hope the eldest lady can like it. ”
Wen Rongxian looked at Aunt Fang's hand, then glanced at Yun Yao, and saw Yun Yao cleverly helping her up and walking to Aunt Fang's side.
Coincidentally, it blocked Aunt Fang's view of the screen, and Wen Rongxian stretched out her green and jade-white hand and gently stroked it on the novel palace satin.
Then he said with a smile on his face: "The courtiers thank the eldest princess for the reward, these courtiers naturally like it." It's really Aunt Lao, you run this trip yourself. The courtiers heard that the eldest princess went to Puguo Nunnery today, why didn't her aunt accompany her? ”
When Aunt Fang saw Wen Rongxian accept these gifts, she replied with a satisfied smile: "The eldest princess has already returned to the palace an hour ago, but she just asked the slave maid to come to the Fuguo Mansion and hand over these things to the eldest lady in person." ”
Saying that, Aunt Fang suddenly approached Wen Rongxian, lowered her voice and said cautiously: "The eldest princess went to Puguo Nunnery to offer incense today, firstly, to pray for Qingqi's blessing, and secondly, to ask for a sign for the eldest lady. ”
"Ask for a sign for me? I now think that I was born in this prosperous family, and I have the favor of the eldest princess, so the number of lives is naturally excellent, why should the eldest princess work for me now? ”
Although it was a compliment, it fell on Jiang Yuanliu's ears, and there was a faint sarcasm between the words.
And Aunt Fang didn't know Wen Rongxian's thoughts at this time, so she didn't hear the dissatisfaction between her words.
He smiled at Wen Rongxian vigorously: "The eldest princess asked the slave to tell the eldest lady, the eldest lady, your numerology is excellent."
These palace satins were specially allocated by the emperor to the eldest princess, as long as the eldest lady can concentrate on embroidery, there will definitely be good results. If it is late today, the slaves and maids must rush back before the palace gate is keyed, and the eldest lady will rest here for a good time, and the slaves and maids will retire first. ”
After saying these words, Aunt Fang ordered the little palace maid beside her to put down the things in her hand, blessed Wen Rong Xian again, and left the inner room.
It wasn't until after seeing off Aunt Fang that Yun Yao returned to the inner room, and Jiang Yuanliu walked out from behind the screen at this time.
"Liu'er, look, what does the eldest princess mean now?" Looking at the mountains of palace satin on the table at this time, Wen Rongxian immediately complained with a bitter face: "I have nothing to do on weekdays, but the eldest princess actually went to Puguo Nunnery to ask for a marriage sign for me." ”
Jiang Yuanliu, on the other hand, took a palace satin with an extremely bright color, and his fingers slid lightly over the smooth and soft fabric.
But in his mind, he kept speculating about what Aunt Fang had just said.
Then I immediately saw that the expression between her eyebrows changed slightly, and then her eyes looked at the palace satin on the table again.
Seeing that the number of positive red was the largest, Jiang Yuanliu immediately had a bold assumption in his heart.
"Cousin, this color of palace satin is only qualified for the queen, the eldest princess, and the imperial concubine." Jiang Yuanliu stretched out his hand and pointed to a piece of tribute silk with a red dark pattern palace flower, and opened his mouth with a solemn expression.
And Wen Rongxian was so simple that her lips immediately opened slightly, and there was an unbelievable look in her eyes, and after half a salary, she slowly asked, "Then you mean that the eldest princess intends to send me into the palace now?" ”
Seeing that Wen Rongxian had already understood what he meant, Jiang Yuanliu withdrew his hand and nodded at her with a heavy expression: "I'm afraid the eldest princess has this thought." Now among the four major families, the Sun family has now sent their daughter into the palace to be a concubine, and the daughter of the Pei family is also a concubine.
In recent years, the queen has been wooing the ministers of the court to fight for the crown prince for the crown prince, but the Wen family has not taken any action. Coupled with the fact that my cousin was framed last time, if someone in the palace helped to speak, maybe my cousin wouldn't have to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
I think the eldest princess must have felt that the power of the four major families that had been originally balanced was now showing signs of being broken, so she was anxious to let you enter the palace. ”
"Hmph. Is this for the Wen family? I think it's just for her own position. Nowadays, the concubines in the palace are all from different factions, and there is no eldest princess in the harem, except for the queen, the eldest princess is the most powerful.
It must be that the eldest princess felt that she couldn't control them well, for fear that she would be set aside by the emperor in the future, so she was anxious to find someone to consolidate her position. ”
At this time, Wen Rongxian had a sarcastic expression, although she was simple by nature, but since she was born in such a complex family, how could she not see through the mind of the eldest princess?
"Cousin, don't be angry, now Zuo has to wait for the imperial examination to end and the plague is controlled, and the emperor will have the heart to think about the affairs of the harem. We just need to come up with a countermeasure within this time. Jiang Yuanliu held Wen Rongxian's hand tightly and comforted her.
didn't know that at this time, the whispered conversation between the two fell into the ears of people outside the door......
"Miss, just now Gongzi Wen stood outside the house for a while, but he didn't go in and then left." When Jiang Yuanliu left the Fuguo Mansion and boarded the carriage, Ling Yue said in a low voice on the side.
"Cousin? How long was he standing outside? Jiang Yuanliu paused for a moment when he stepped onto the stool, and looked sideways at Ling Yue, no wonder there was no movement outside just now, it turned out to be Wen Jingyuan.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid that the secret guards around me would have already done it.
"Not long after Aunt Fang left, Gongzi Wen came outside the house." Ling Yue told Jiang Yuanliu everything she had seen.
It's just that Wen Gongzi once worked with the little marquis, so the little marquis also explained that he didn't need to be wary of this person before leaving, so Wen Jingyuan stood outside for a long time, and the secret guard didn't make a move.
"I see." Jiang Yuanliu smiled and nodded at Ling Yue, and then led Chun Tao into the car.
Jiang Yuanliu asked Chun Tao to help him take off the jewelry on his bun, and at the same time took out a water-soaked handkerchief to wipe the makeup on his face.
Jiang Yuanliu's mind was thinking about how much Wen Jingyuan had heard outside today, and what he was going to do next.
"Miss, the slave is now grooming you again." Putting away the maid's hair ornament that she had taken off in her hand, Chun Tao took out the peach comb from her purse and said in a low voice.
Then Jiang Yuanliu nodded lightly, and then immediately helped Jiang Yuanliu with his hands and feet to take care of the hair that hung down.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Jiang Yuanliu lifted the curtain slightly with his right hand, but found that the pedestrians on the street were bustling at this time, and the gates of the mansions were also tightly closed.
The door is all tightly guarded by their own families, and the lively scene of the capital in the past is no longer seen.
It didn't take long to hear the sound of neat footsteps, and Jiang Yuanliu looked at it when he heard it.
I saw a column of guards walking by his carriage with expressionless faces, presumably because of the plague coming out to patrol.
