Chapter 161

The palace maid seemed to see her question, and took the initiative to answer: "That's the case, Mrs. Hou, Concubine Yao has been unwell recently, so the emperor said don't want to disturb her, so he asked everyone to go to Concubine Yan." ”

This girl was quite affectionate and complacent when she spoke, and at a glance she knew that his master was favored, and she also followed the chicken dog to heaven, and could get close to the ladies and ladies of each family.

It seems that the emperor has been quite fond of Concubine Yan recently, and Concubine Yao has been living in seclusion since the accident of the fourth princess, and I haven't heard her banquet for a long time.

It's quite good at Taoguang and obscure, Xie Ruqing doesn't believe that Yao Guifei is indisputable, but it's an expedient measure, just retreat as advance.

The emperor suspected that she was colluding with Fanbang, and she really shouldn't make any more moves at this time, but Concubine Yan was a little too pampered and arrogant, as if she thought that she could take the place of Concubine Yao, but it was dangerous.

All the hands in this harem can't escape Yao Guifei's calculations.

Xie Ruqing followed the palace maid into Concubine Yan's palace, Concubine Yan she has seen a few times, she is very good-looking, she is not very old, and she has no heirs around, probably this is also the reason why she is favored, the emperor can no longer favor a concubine with children under her knees at this time, as long as she has children, she has to think about it.

Concubine Yan was dressed very delicately, wearing a purple-red palace dress, with gold and silver, and her hair bun was also a little overstepping, but it was more cumbersome than usual Yao Guifei, and she didn't know how to converge. Compared with each other in this way, I can see that Yao Guifei is good, Yao Guifei is also flamboyant, but she is unconventional, and she also has a domineering spirit, and Concubine Yan is much more stingy.

From the temperament of the person, you can see whether this person will succeed in the future or not, and how much great things he can achieve, and this Yao Guifei, no matter how you look at it, is like a grasshopper who can't stumble for a few days.

"It's Mrs. Qingyang Hou who is here." Concubine Yan smiled and gave up her seat to Xie Ruqing, "Quickly invite Mrs. Hou to take a seat." ”

Now Xie Ru is the most powerful of these ladies, after all, the Qingyang Marquis Mansion is still on the front line, and he has won the battle, which makes the emperor happy, if he can return safely in the future, high-ranking officials and Houlu are naturally indispensable, and maybe he can be crowned a king of the opposite sex. At this time, it is natural to stammer Xie Ruqing.

"Mrs. Qingyang Hou hasn't been going out recently, I heard that she moved to Qingyang Hou Mansion?" Mrs. Shangshu asked.

There are many people who are popular, and every pair of eyes in the capital are staring at you. Usually, who would ask where Xie Ruqing went, but now that he quietly moved to the Hou Mansion, someone immediately knew.

It's just a matter of knowing, I'm afraid that these people will think too much, and if they move out of the palace at this juncture, they will definitely wonder if she has a different heart from the palace, whether she is too big to look down on the palace, and wants to set up another door to clear up the relationship with the palace. I came here to ask, I must have come to find out.

Xie Ruqing smiled and nodded, "The princess felt sorry for me, and when she saw that I was tired, she told me to rest, and I was bored at home, so I went to the Hou Mansion to clean up." ”

Hengzhu will have to move out sooner or later, this gossip will be there sooner or later, and they simply don't hide it, they are not close to the palace, so there is no need to pretend.

Mrs. Shangshu smiled, and naturally understood the relationship between the Marquis of Qingyang and the palace, it was easy for them not to be in the same position, the Marquis of Qingyang is currently supporting the emperor, while the king of Qiyang has an unclear position, and he supports the emperor on the surface, but in fact, it makes people wonder if he supports the prince. After all, the son of his family is close to the crown prince.

Shang Shangshu supports the three princes, of course, he is happy to see that the emperor's party and the prince's party do not deal with each other, the more they fight, the more hope the three princes have.

"Also, the prince married a bride, and everything in the palace must be handed over to her in the future, and the Qingyang Marquis Mansion is also a big mess, so you have to take care of it."

This sentence is equivalent to dividing up the Qiyang Palace, Xie Ruqing knew it, but he didn't say anything, whatever they thought, it didn't matter.

"Eh, the appearance of Mrs. Qingyang's dress today is rare, I haven't seen it in the capital." Lin Yulan suddenly pointed at Xie Ruqing and said.

With her voice, the eyes of all the ladies and ladies gathered, looking at the clothes on Xie Ruqing's body. Xie Ruqing's clothes were still prepared by Qi Yanzhi, they were still the same as last year, Xie Ruqing didn't wear them, and they were found from the bottom of the box today, I thought I was wearing one casually, but who knew that it was unexpectedly eye-catching.

"Yes, don't you say that I haven't taken a closer look, it's really a pattern I've never seen before, and the style is also novel, dare to ask Mrs. Hou where this set of clothes is made?"

The discussion here attracted the attention of Concubine Yan, who was at an age that was easy to compare, and was interested in what Xie was wearing, so she also stared at it carefully, "It's really good-looking." ”

As soon as Concubine Yan said that it was good-looking, everyone stared at it, and surrounded Xie Ruqing to ask east and west, and asked which fabric was there, and which embroidery girl was from, and Xie Ruqing had a big head.

She simply said: "It was prepared by the Hou Ye when I got married, and I don't know it." ”

This statement is even more envious of the dead ladies and ladies, who are married, and the husband still prepares clothes, and it is still so good-looking, so that who is not greedy when he listens.

"Obediently, Qingyang Hou is so heartfelt, and his vision is so good!"

"But let's say, there probably can't be a man like Qingyang Hou in the whole capital, I'm really envious of others."

"Mrs. Hou is really blessed, when I married my husband, let alone clothes, I didn't even give me a hairpin, so my heart is sour."

"Who says it's not, my husband can't even tell that I change my clothes every day, where do I still have the heart to prepare new clothes."

Concubine Yan's heart was also sour, saying that she was favored by the emperor, but the so-called favor was just a few more times at night, and the rewards were also very distracting.

Today's women ask for the love of their husbands, as long as they are loved by their husbands, what they wear and what they care about. It is because there is no love from her husband that she will show off her money and status.

It feels very bad to be targeted, what clothes Xie Ruqing wore in the past, where was someone concerned, she was happy to be at ease, but now she really has to pay attention to everything, the current national crisis, you can't ask someone to take the handle.

The ladies chatted for a while, the emperor sent someone to inform the banquet, and everyone went to the main hall to gather, at this time the palace people had prepared everything to eat and drink, and the wine and meat dishes were very rich.

Yao Guifei sat in the first position under the emperor, she came early, chatted with the emperor from time to time, looked good, and said with a smile when she saw Concubine Yan. The most depressed should be Concubine Yan, who still looks like the master of the harem, but at this time she can only sit under the concubine, not to mention how faceless she is.

"My sister has worked hard." Yao Guifei smiled and said to Concubine Yan, "I have been unwell for the past two days, thanks to the fact that Sister Concubine Yan has taken care of me, otherwise I am afraid that I will neglect all the ladies and ladies today." ”

"Where Sister Guifei says, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Concubine Yan glanced at the emperor with a smile, and said, "I don't know how my sister's body is, if she is uncomfortable, she doesn't have to hold on, what if her condition worsens." ”

Yao Guifei smiled and said, "Seeing that there is no emperor, Sister Yan feels sorry for me." ”

The emperor glanced at Concubine Yan with some unhappiness, feeling that he was not very sensible, in today's meeting, Concubine Yao insisted on bringing her illness over, for the sake of the face of the whole royal family, Concubine Yan was cautious, afraid that people would sit here and steal her limelight, without any sense of the overall situation.
