It's the end of June.

Yuan Ping, no, it should be the concubine's dowry sent from Qingnan.

On the day the dowry entered the palace, the emperor finally favored her for the first time.

It is not so much the emperor's solemnity as his perfunctory explanation.

Without communication and care, it is like fulfilling an obligation, a job, pinching the time, and leaving when it is done. From now on, no matter who her father is, no matter how much power she has, whether she was the county lord or what, she will be just an ordinary concubine who is more than superior and more than inferior in the future.

Concubine Shu couldn't hold back a word of the words she had prepared.

The emperor's indifference frightened her, and she knew how miserable it was for a woman who was not favored in the deep palace.

What's worse is that the emperor has been on the throne for almost twenty years, and the harem concubines are everywhere, and there are many people with higher ranks, seniority, and older age than her, and it seems that anyone can cast wild on her head.

This came out when she went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye.

Everyone was bullying her with sneer. Even those who are lower than her dare to ridicule her.

Therefore, she decided to fight for the emperor's favor.

But since Concubine Xi gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, everyone has found that the emperor's sword is not old and powerful. Therefore, many concubines who had long lost hope for their heirs rekindled their minds, and the women in front of the emperor were "one after the other". The one who delivers soup every day, the one who meets by chance and the one who pretends to be sick sings and I appears.

A concubine who has no power, no power, no backer? I can't even see the emperor's face......

The concubine was in pain.

She finally regretted it. It's a pity that what she regrets is not that if she stays in Gyeongnam, if she doesn't insist so much, if she gives up earlier, she can still be carefree, prosperous and wealthy. What she regrets is that she didn't attack Zhu Yongze earlier, didn't use her connections to eradicate Chang Rufei as soon as possible, and didn't fully understand the enemy, which led to being pressed and beaten.

She hated more than repentance.

She was eager for revenge.

She wanted to kill Chang Rufei, and wanted Zhu Yongze to kneel at her feet and beg for forgiveness. But they were thousands of miles away, but she couldn't even get out of the palace gate.

……

Along with the concubine's dowry, Chang Rufei's letters were delivered.

Literally, she should be okay.

At least this newlywed, the princess still gave face, and did not give any difficulties or face. The princess was quite polite to Chang Rufei, and personally took her to visit the market, climb the mountain to see the scenery, and visit relatives and friends.

Yuanping's incident, the princess also apologized. Chang Rufei is not stupid, she follows the acting on her face, but she knows in her heart that Yuan Ping is in the capital, and although the princess is helpless, it is impossible for her to be innocent of her so soon......

In short, Chang Rufei said in the letter that she would live her own life and let Rong'an not have to worry about it......

The Chang family members who can be married back bring back more news:

said that when the team did not reach Qingnan, Zhu Yongze asked people to go back in advance to rebuild the new house.

Well, the fox and the fake tiger played very well, and it was the mother mother who went to decorate the new house.

Chang Rufei was generous to that grandma, asking her to take care of her for five years, and she should be given a set of Beijing No. 2 Courtyard as a supplement after five years, Mama naturally likes such a master.

The relationship has also been cultivated along the way, after all, it will take five years, so Mama is very dedicated.

After Mama arrived at the palace with Ah Shui five days in advance, she began to change all the eye-catching decorations from the new bedroom.

It is also thanks to this trick that the grandmother who has seen a lot of selfishness always feels that the smell is strange.

In the end, I almost dismantled the marriage bed, only to find the source of the smell in the mezzanine at the bottom of the bedside drawer, and it turned out that there was a slight musk powder in the sawdust layer.

Because it is in a double layer of wood, the smell is so faint that it is almost indistinguishable. In addition, there was an incense ball hanging at the head of the bed, which covered the smell even more. If it weren't for the fact that the palace was particularly afraid of musk, Mama would have formed a natural reaction to this smell, and it would have been almost impossible to detect.

This is a big thing, but a small thing.

Musk invigorates blood, and has strong channeling ability, pregnant women will slip the fetus with it, and ordinary people will be infertile after hearing it for a long time. Hide this thing at the head of the bed, and you can see the thoughts.

And this marriage bed is for Zhu Yongze's wedding.

Therefore, the object of musk can be Chang Rufei or the royal bloodline. To put it further, it is to have an opinion on the emperor's marriage, another form of bullying.

Therefore, when the spices were placed in front of the prince and the princess, it didn't matter if this matter was done by Yuan Ping personally, or if the princess conspired with her aunt and nephew in order to let her niece compete for favor and gain status...... It was Gyeongnam who was in a panic and was anxious to press this matter.

This makes the princess, no matter how unhappy she is, after Chang Rufei comes, she must also perform a mother's filial piety.

Of course, this can be regarded as an excuse to take the opportunity to rebuild the new house.

The new house was carefully handled by the grandmother, and even the furniture was completely changed.

No one has anything to say.

And the princess's kindness to Chang Rufei naturally hopes that her daughter-in-law can shut up and hide this matter......

Chang Rufei obviously reported good news but not bad news, and didn't want them to worry about her.

Anyway, with this article in hand, the princess should be kind to her for the time being.

In addition, the descendants of the Chang family also told him that Zhu Yongze had a private conversation with his father for a long time after he went back. Then his father gave him some of the power. Zhu Yongze has begun his path to power.

……

In the blink of an eye in July, Rong'an's velvet flower shop ushered in a rare customer.

Rong An met Wei in the VIP room on the second floor, wearing a heavy hat.

Rong An didn't expect her to come, and he didn't expect her to buy a thousand taels of silver in one go.

"What kind of velvet do you want?" Do you take it away today or take it slowly after you keep the account? ”

"Make me an expensive one, just wear a few precious beads. No hassle. ”

Wei smiled, she was here to send money.

"It's not easy to come to you, I found a place to change my outfit, and I went around several times before I came." Wei, Liao Jing and Rong An have not cooperated once or twice. The cooperation between them is pleasant, but it also spoils the good things of many people, and no one can know the friendly relationship between them.

Wei has always done a good job in this regard, so this sudden visit was indeed not expected by Rong An.

"Is there news from Liao Wenci?" But if that's the case, it should be Rong An's request, why should the Wei family take the initiative to spend money?

"If I don't have any news, I don't dare to come to you."

"Really?"

"But don't get your hopes up. As far as I know, Liao Wenci should have received at least two letters. One of them was probably delivered to Rong Ying because he didn't stop. It's a pity that Rong Ying didn't understand his mother at all, so after getting the letter, he made a fuss, and he couldn't keep the secret.

The old lady ordered to be silenced at the time, but it reached my ears. The content of the letter is, let Rongying wait patiently. She didn't abandon him, she would come back one day, and they would be reunited again. ”

Rong An sneered. The prediction was correct, Liao Wenci really had a plan outside. And I think she's already on her feet.

It's just that I can't find her.

Yan An has been looking for more than half a year, and it is basically certain that Liao Wenci did not go to Tartar. Several Tartars have been searched, but they are not there.

"Do you know where the letter came from?"

"I don't know. The letter was delivered directly to the old lady, and no one else in the house should know about it except the sender and the old lady. ”

"If you ...... next time" there are one and there are two, Liao Wenci will always write back.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. I'll tell you when the time comes. ”

Wei Shi drank a cup of tea and spoke again: "There is one more thing ......"

Wei's mind about wanting to be separated became heavier and heavier.

She is not short of silver, she even has a house in Beijing, and she doesn't expect to live on anyone, she can live with her son. Recently, she began to wonder if it was possible for her to take advantage of her grandson's affair to get her daughter out of the Second Prince's Mansion? Is it possible for the emperor to allow Jing'er to raise the little emperor and grandson alone? Is it possible for the three of them to be reunited in this way?

"So you're looking for me......" wouldn't be to help her get together, would it?

"I really can't find anyone to discuss this, not even my mother's house. So I'm talking to you, and I ask you to help me analyze it, and if so, can you help me? If it is done, I will pay as much money as it takes. ”

Rong An poured another cup of tea for Wei's family.

"You think too highly of me." She chuckled. "Don't you know Zhu Yonghao's charges? His house is guarded by the forbidden army! Except for the emperor's nod, no one can calculate. So Liao Jing shouldn't be able to come out for the time being. "Three years, five years, or ten years, who can tell! If that child is angry, it will naturally be early. But otherwise, it may be a lifetime affair......

What's more, Liao Jing's child is the biggest bargaining chip in Zhu Yonghao's hand, and he will try his best to keep the child. Rong An felt that it was not easy and did not want to get involved.

"Why do you suddenly want to be separated?"

"I'm afraid of being implicated." Wei said bluntly. "Although the emperor seems to have let go of the Liao family, I always feel uneasy. If the Liao family is liquidated one day, Siming and I will definitely not be able to escape, and the Wei family will also be implicated. Taking advantage of the calm at this moment, I want to leave the Liao family to keep my family safe. ”

"Then leave."

"But I still have a son." The son is the grandson of the Liao family, and it may not be difficult for her to get together, but how could the Liao family let go of her son? That's where she really got into trouble. "Rong'an, you have always had a lot of methods. Do you think it's possible for me to take Siming away? ”

Wei just watched Rong'an go from forcing Liao Wenci away to slipping Ronghua Rongying back and forth, thinking that she might be able to help herself, so she came.

"......" Rong An sighed. As a woman, you have to worry about a lot. There are old and young, there is a mother's family behind him, the man in the middle is not worrying, there is too much to consider, he is often the last to be happy, and he can't take care of his preferences......

But isn't this a question thrown at yourself too difficult? Liao Qing didn't make a big mistake, and the Liao family was cowering in the house, and they couldn't make a calculation!

"I can't help it."

"Think again?"

"It doesn't have to be separated. There's another way. I think so. "Rong An Dao is coming......

So a few days later, at this year's Qixi banquet, Wei privately found an opportunity to meet the emperor.

The emperor originally refused to see her in order to avoid suspicion, but she sent a letter, and the emperor let her enter the palace.

She wants to surrender!

With a daughter!

One is in the Liao family, and the other is in the Second Prince's Mansion.

She and her daughter are willing to help the emperor spy on the two places, just asking the emperor for protection.

The emperor was naturally pleased. Especially the Liao family.

There are too many secrets in the Liao family. First, he was suspected of colluding with Zhu Yonghao to get a business idea. Then there is the indescribable wealth and wealth. Then there is Liao Wenci's place, and the emperor is also curious. What was it that made that woman abandon her children and her family disappear?

If the Liao family is mixed with the Tartars, they must have gained a lot on the trade road over the years, but there is no information on the books, and the emperor wants to know where this large amount of silver went.

If you find silver, it can be regarded as a stolen goods in another sense. The Liao family can be cleaned up, and the silver can be collected back into the treasury, which can solve the recent difficulties of the imperial court's finances stretched due to the disaster......

Therefore, the emperor readily responded, and bluntly said that as long as he helped him do things, even if there was a situation in the future, he would definitely protect their mother and son, Liao Jing and the Wei family, and ensure their wealth.

Wei's legs were floating when he left.

The emperor said that if she could find the secret of the Liao family's wealth, he would give extra consideration to allowing Liao Jing to leave the current residence and take care of the second emperor and grandson alone. Liao Siming is there, and he will arrange her future in the future, and he will help her solve all her worries.

Of course, she only needs to do her best, and if she really can't find it, she won't be blamed!

If she needed manpower, the emperor would arrange it for her. She can call people to her side on her own and give her some protection......

Wei felt that he was not at a loss. The secrets of the Liao family were originally wanted to be heard in order to protect herself. As long as the little grandson has freedom, the future will naturally be different. Siming is the only uncle of the little grandson, so why worry about the road ahead? The Wei family is the same. All problems are solved. Just rushing to freedom is enough for her to fight.

The emperor also felt that he was not at a loss, and his people could not infiltrate the Liao family, nor could they keep an eye on Zhu Yonghao all day, someone was willing to serve, and he only needed to pay a promise, which was very cost-effective.

Rong An feels that he is not at a loss.

It was her idea. Although she and Wei's Liao Jing are in a cooperative relationship, in order to protect themselves, they may not tell themselves the secret if they really want to find out. At this moment, there is no longer a link for the emperor, and he is not afraid. Wei and Liao Jing will only work harder, and if there is an internal response, it will be sooner or later to reveal the secret......

At the end of July, the Tartars launched several rounds of harassment.

However, this time, their eyes were locked on the land of the Liaojiang River in the northeast. In the past one or two decades, it was Yan'an who fought against the Tartars, and there was nothing to do with Liaojiang.

First, compared with the Liaojiang River, Yan'an, which has a long territory, abundant products, and abundant pastures, and is rich in grassland, is easier to get hands on, and on the other hand, it is more convenient to carry out actions on the trade route to the west in Yan'an......

But this year, Yan'an's bones are really hard to gnaw, after Zhu Yonghao was charged, the cooperation of some of the secret forces that were originally happy to cooperate has all converged and no longer emerged, so the trade route is all broken.

The Tartars, who could not bargain, could only advance to the east. The Liaojiang River, where the main forces were scattered along the coast and fought against the Japanese along with the Korean state, was not well prepared, which allowed the Tartars to succeed a few times.

The king of Liaojiang came to fold his son, saying that he would guard the Liaojiang River and protect the country.

As long as you stick to it for a few months and carry it through the autumn, you will have a whole winter to lay out. So it shouldn't be a big problem......
