Chapter 194: Concubine Jing's Calculations
Sure enough, after Mrs. Zhi had a fetal gas, the matter was over.
Although Xiang'er was beaten with 30 boards, she saved her life and stayed in the house to recuperate. This matter soon spread to the palace.
"Hmph, my father is really eccentric. When he was in Xuzhou, he had a different attitude towards Lan Zixian and Aunt Zhi, and now it is even more so because of the use value. It's just that he didn't calculate it after a thousand calculations, and my Lan Ziyu's life should not be extinguished. Concubine Jing narrowed her eyes, and a trace of murderous intent clearly flashed in her eyes.
Ning Er, who was standing on the side, did not react, and the master's order to her was that no matter what Concubine Jing ordered in the future, she must obey it. Therefore, if Concubine Jing has any orders, she just listens honestly.
"Ning'er, this palace really wants to kill Lan Mansion right now and dispose of Lan Zixian and that Aunt Zhi. It's just that the identity of this palace is easy to be exposed. So, we still need to wait for an opportunity. Alas, I just don't know when this opportunity will come soon. Concubine Jing said worriedly.
"Niangniang, there are many ways you want to deal with Lan Zixian and Aunt Zhi. If it's an assassination, it's okay at any time. But the slave knows that you are not reconciled, so she wants to play slowly. If you want to find an opportunity, there are, for example, palace banquets. It's just that Princess Jingruo is missing, and I believe that His Majesty should not be in the mood to hold any palace banquet. So, we need to find another way. Ning Er explained slightly.
Of course, Concubine Jing knew that it was easy and the fastest way to take advantage of the palace banquet to destroy Lan Zixian. If Murong Xi can't be found in the near future, if a palace banquet is held in the palace, it will be in the Mid-Autumn Festival at the earliest.
She can afford to wait for a few months, but she is afraid that Aunt Zhi is not the master of Anfen, and there will be trouble in the Blue Mansion. What she is most afraid of is that her mother will suffer because of this, so she has been worried in her heart.
"Well, naturally there are no good opportunities at the moment. The last time I left the palace for two days to go to Qingshan Temple to pray for blessings, I was forced to see my mother. If I go to the temple again in the near future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Concubine Jing said slowly.
It's just that as soon as Concubine Jing's words fell, she heard a voice outside: "The emperor has arrived." ”
Concubine Jing was stunned, then got up and let Ning Er help her to the front hall, and then saluted and asked, "I have seen Your Majesty." ”
"Mi'er, get up quickly." Murong Yu gently helped Concubine Jing up and then held her hand, frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold?" ”
Now this season, it has entered the summer. Therefore, Concubine Jing's hands were surprisingly cold. Murong Yu was very distressed and refused to let go.
"Xu is very cool in this hall, so the concubines don't feel cold." Concubine Jing said obediently.
"By the way, Your Majesty is busy with official business, why did you have time to come to Fengwu Hall to see your concubines so early today?" Concubine Jing suddenly remembered that the emperor seemed to come to Fengwu Hall a little early at this time.
"The Western Domain sent a message, the relationship between the Western Domain and the Lin Feng Kingdom was very close, and when the Lin Feng Dynasty celebrated the victory in the battle, he also invited the then lord of the Western Domain. The lord of the country abdicated early, and now he is the emperor. This Emperor suddenly wanted to visit Lin Feng Kingdom, so I was still thinking about it. If they send them news, they will set off in three days, and they will be able to arrive in the capital in about half a month. Murong Yu said softly.
"Your Majesty's meaning, the Emperor Taishang of the Western Domain Kingdom is coming to Linfeng Kingdom? Is that still holding a palace banquet? Concubine Jing asked slowly.
"Hmm. When the people of the Western Domain Kingdom come, they will hold a palace banquet, not to mention the visit of the Emperor Taishang himself? The palace banquet is indispensable. To be honest, Mi'er should know about me, I'm really in a mess, you know that because of Princess Jingruo's affairs, I'm exhausted. But they are coming, and I can't stop them. Murong Yu said in embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the concubines should not interfere in the affairs of the court. However, the concubine knows that you are very worried about the princess. Therefore, I am afraid that there is something in my heart that will not be well entertained. However, the Western Domain does not know the news of the princess's disappearance, and it is always not good if you rashly refuse. The Emperor Taishang of the Western Domain Kingdom came in person, and if Lin Fengguo stopped this matter. Wouldn't it save the face of the Western Domain? Your Majesty, although Mi'er doesn't understand state affairs, Mi'er thinks that this matter should focus on the overall situation, otherwise it will affect the friendship between the two countries. However, the final decision is up to you. Concubine Jing said softly.
In fact, her heart has already blossomed. If people from the Western Domain come, they can hold a palace banquet. She can plan how to let Lan Zixian fall into her trap from now on, and deal with Aunt Zhi without her helping. As long as Lan Zixian can't marry Wang Ye, Aunt Zhi will not pose any threat to her mother in the mansion. My father did dot on Aunt Zhi before, but he would never make my mother too ugly. After all, it is also because Lan Zixian looks very sensible on the outside, and she has the style of a concubine. Now Aunt Zhi has become a flat wife, and it is her father who paves the way for Lan Zixian. And she grasped the power of the house, and her father only compromised when she saw that Lan Zixian could bring him a future. When Lan Zixian failed, she didn't believe that her father would connive with Aunt Zhi. Pregnant? If it weren't for the news sent by her mother that in order for her father to save this child, she would have asked Ning'er to create some accidents and let her die in two bodies.
After Murong Yu listened to Concubine Jing's opinion, he seemed to be stunned. Yes, looking for Xi'er, the people he sent are still looking for it. However, the coming of the Western Domain to Linfeng Kingdom is a major event, and it cannot be delayed. If it weren't for Concubine Jing's reminder, he would have been entangled. If a wrong decision is made, it will not be good for the Western Domain to misunderstand.
Murong Yu smiled and said: "Mi'er is really a real lucky star, I am worried in the Heart Cultivation Palace, who knows that I just arrived in the Fengwu Palace, after listening to your words, I suddenly figured it out." Mi'er, I will take care of the matter in the Heart Cultivation Hall first, and then come to see you in the evening. ”
Murong Yu naturally wanted to send a letter to the Western Domain when he returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, so he went back in a hurry.
You must know that the coming of the Western Domain is a big deal, so you must not slack off. Murong Yu went back and wrote a letter to send away, which was relieved. Then all the matters of the palace banquet were ready to be handed over to Concubine Shu, and then the Ministry of Rites was summoned and asked the Ministry of Rites to cooperate with Concubine Shu. finally turned around and went to Concubine Shu.
"The concubine has seen the emperor." Concubine Shu said respectfully.
"Get up, Yun'er, I have something to do with you. The last time you had a very good birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, the Emperor of the Western Domain Kingdom wanted to come to visit in person. Therefore, this time the matter of the palace banquet will be handed over to you, and I have already instructed the Ministry of Rites to cooperate with you. I believe in your ability to handle the palace banquet properly. After Murong Yu entered the Biyun Palace, he began to talk about serious things.
"Your Majesty, did you say that the Emperor of the Western Domain is coming? This is too sudden, why did you suddenly come to Linfeng Country? "Concubine Shu wants to know what the Western Domain thinks, after all, what Murong Yu said is a bit general, so she is also a little confused by His Majesty.
"Yes, I don't know why they came suddenly. After all, at the time of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the envoys of the other three countries had just returned. And this old man questioned Jun Wuchen not long after he went back, and he wanted to take a look at Lin Feng Kingdom. It is indeed a bit sudden, but it cannot be refused, and it is related to the friendly relations between the two countries. I will leave this kind of palace banquet and their arrangements to you, and I believe in you. After Murong Yu answered, he told Concubine Shu that the matter would be handled by her.
"Yes, since Your Majesty has commanded, the concubines must do their best." Concubine Shu said slowly.
"Well, okay, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." After saying that, Murong Yu wanted to leave quickly, but his hand was gently grabbed.
Murong Yu thought that Concubine Shu was reluctant to let him go, but when he looked down, Concubine Shu was already three meters away from him, and the person holding his hand was actually Murong Ya.
Murong Ya's complexion seemed to be very good today, and she looked very happy, her face was flushed, her big eyes blinked vigorously, and then she smiled sweetly at His Majesty and said, "Father, mother, it's Father." It's been a long time since my father came to see my mother. Moreover, it has been a long time since my father and emperor came to Biyun Hall to see Ya'er, mother concubine, is it that mother Ya'er is dreaming. Murong Ya said innocently and romantically.
Murong Yu also felt very guilty after hearing Ya'er's words, he hadn't been to Biyun Hall since he was looking for Murong Xi. Actually, Murong Yu didn't think about it, not because he didn't come to Biyun Hall because of Murong Xi's matter, but because of Concubine Jing, he couldn't remember. If he hadn't remembered that the palace banquet needed to be supported by Concubine Shu today, he would not have suddenly come to Biyun Palace. He felt sorry for Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing had just entered the palace, so she didn't know this. Murong Yu felt sorry for Concubine Jing, and he wouldn't let Concubine Jing do this.
It's just that he planned to leave after telling Concubine Shugui about this, but he didn't expect to run into Murong Ya. Without waiting for Murong Yu to react, Concubine Shu slowly walked to Murong Ya's side and said, "Ya'er, don't be rude. Ya'er, you are not dreaming, what you are looking at is naturally your father. My father just came to see you in Biyun Palace, and my mother said that you were asleep, and your father was leaving. Your father has something to do, and Ya'er is a sensible and well-behaved child. Let your father leave, and your mother has prepared pastries for you. Concubine Shu's voice was soft, and after Murong Ya heard it, she nodded slightly.
He let go of Murong Yu's hand, and then said, "Father, the son knows that you are busy. The sons and daughters didn't bother their fathers, so they retired. ”
When Murong Yu heard this, he stepped forward, squatted down and said, "Ya'er seems to have grown taller, and my father misses Ya'er very much." In the evening, the father stayed here; Is it okay to dine with Ya'er? ”
Murong Yu just cared about this child, he never cared about it. Moreover, almost every time he came to Biyun Palace, he was rarely able to see Murong Ya. Over time, he almost forgot about such a daughter. If not, the last time Xi'er investigated Concubine Zhen. reminded him of such a girl, and he really forgot about it. Thinking of that, he frowned slightly and looked at Murong Ya thoughtfully. Is this innocent eight-year-old child in front of him really the child who has been playing pranks on Concubine Zhen since he was five years old? It really doesn't look like it, especially those eyes, which look like him.
Seeing Murong Yu frowning, Concubine Shu thought that he might really have something to do, otherwise he would have agreed to Concubine Jing to go to the Phoenix Dance Palace. So, she walked to Murong Yu's side with a light smile, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, you will spoil her like this." The concubine knows that you are busy with official business, and it is okay to have the opportunity to dine with Ya'er again in the future. Don't delay the business, children can't be spoiled. ”
Murong Yu was very guilty just now, and after hearing Concubine Shugui's words, he felt even more guilty. So, he took Murong Ya's hand and said, "I'll leave after dinner." ”
