Chapter 174: Cooperation
Yan Ran came to the Dingguo Mansion and saw that the door was closed.
She sat back in the carriage, closed her eyes, and looked leisurely.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near.
Qingxuan opened the car door and said to Yan Ran: "Girl, the little grandfather is back." ”
Yan Ran stepped out of the carriage, and Wen Chengyan was also turning over and dismounting, and asked, "Cousin Ran, what happened?" ”
Yan Ran said: "Mother went to visit Yao'er and ordered me to wait outside, but she didn't return for a long time. I tried to go in and look for her, but the door of the Guogong Mansion was closed and I couldn't knock on it. I didn't know what was going on inside, and I was very worried, so I took the liberty of sending someone to invite the little grandfather back. ”
Since Wen Rong'an got an errand, Wen Chengyan was not to be outdone, and received a share of the errand of repairing books in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Under the leadership of Wen Chengyan, Yan Ran successfully entered the Dingguo Mansion.
Someone had already given the news to Minyang, and she couldn't be angry: "Yan Ran has always been at odds with Wen's mother and daughter, what are you doing here to make a fuss here?!" ”
While speaking, Wen Chengyan and Yan Ran had already arrived and met Minyang together.
At this time, a servant girl hurriedly came in and said, "Eldest princess, grandpa Guo, it's not good!" Madame's fetus is unstable, and she screams that her stomach hurts! ”
Minyang pretended to be concerned: "What's the matter, go and ask for a doctor!" ”
Wen Chengyan stood still and did not move, ignoring the news of Yan Yao's abdominal pain, but glanced at Yan Ran's expression with a tense face.
Yan Ran persuaded: "Little grandfather, go and have a look!" ”
Wen Chengyan confessed to Minyang and went to visit Yan Yao.
After Wen Chengyan left, Minyang put away his hypocritical face, looked at Yan Ran with a fierce expression, and said angrily: "You can't wait for Yan Yao to have an accident, what kind of sisterhood is pretending to be in front of the palace at this time!" ”
Yan Ran Shi Ran walked to the opposite side of Minyang and sat down, and said indifferently: "The eldest princess's actions today are really out of order. If something happens to Yan Yao, you will inevitably have a mean and vicious reputation, and I am helping you! ”
Minyang couldn't control so much, and said angrily: "The wild seed in Yan Yao's stomach doesn't know whose it is!" How could this palace let her give birth and put Yan'er in an embarrassing situation? ”
As soon as he remembered Yan Yao's loss of virginity before marriage, Minyang went crazy with anger, and then said: "The palace is not dead yet, Yan'er is still young, Wen's begged God to worship Buddha, Xiao remembered that the Dingguo Mansion is here!" If this palace doesn't give her some color, she really doesn't know how thick the sky is! ”
Since the conclusion of this unjust matter of children and daughters, Minyang and the Wen family have turned against each other.
When Wen was mentioned, Minyang was full of resentment, and as soon as the resentful words came out, he couldn't hold it back.
Yan Ran picked up a hot tea on the table, gently blew away the hot air, and quietly listened to Minyang's venting.
Yan Ran bought the master, saying that Yan Yao was a male fetus in her womb, and instigated Wen's to pray for blessings and protect the fetus, and begged Fang Zi to sit on the fetus.
Then inform Minyang of Wen's series of actions, and Minyang was naturally furious when he saw his ambitions.
It wasn't until Minyang's mood stabilized that Yan Ran put down the teacup and said, "Although the Wen family is afraid of the eldest princess, the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry." For example, for the sake of Yan Yao's reputation, the Wen family did not hesitate to exchange the Danshu iron coupon left by General Wen to her to save her life in exchange for this marriage. If Yan Yao's life is threatened, what will the Wen family do if they love their daughter? At that time, if the Wen family does not hesitate to break the net, the secret of the eldest princess may not be kept. ”
Yan Ran's previous words were normal, but the last sentence meant something, which made Minyang vigilant: "What did you say?" ”
Yan Ran raised her eyes to look at Minyang, her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through her soul, and said quietly: "The original partner of the murder husband is superior, didn't the Wen family learn this method from the eldest princess!" ”
Minyang's pupils trembled, shocked and angry: "Yan Ran, you are presumptuous!" ”
Yan Ran replied nonchalantly: "The eldest princess is angry." ”
Although she said this, she sat still, her face was not half frightened, and she raised her hand to brush the broken hair around her ears, looking very arrogant.
Minyang was furious, and was about to scold him, but suddenly saw the bracelet on Yan Ran's wrist, and he was stunned.
It was a jade water pattern bracelet, crystal clear, and when you raised your hand and shook it, the water pattern on it rippled gently like a real water wave.
Under the illumination of the sun, the water ripples are like a rainbow after the rain, emitting a seven-colored light, which is beautiful and dazzling.
Such a unique material is the colorful jadeite jade produced in Lindi, which is very precious.
In a hundred years, only two pieces were obtained, and three bracelets were made, all of which went into the dedication palace.
The three bracelets, one in the hands of the Queen Mother, one in the hands of the Queen, and one is the grace and glory that the palace ladies dream of.
Unexpectedly, it appeared in Yan Ran's hands now.
Yan Ran turned the bracelet on his wrist and said, "This was rewarded by the Holy God a few days ago, and I heard that there are only three in the entire Shengguo, which is indeed not bad." ”
Minyang originally thought that it was a reward from the queen, but he didn't expect it to be a gift from the saint, and he couldn't help but be even more shocked.
More than jealousy, she re-examined Yan Ran more in her heart.
Yan Ran has not yet entered the palace, but she has received such a grace, and the future is limitless.
But looking at Yan Ran's proud appearance, Minyang still couldn't resist the anger, and said coldly: "It's easy to get pets, but it's hard to fix pets." The harem is tumbling, how can a yellow-haired girl like you handle it! ”
Yan Ran didn't care much and said, "The queen mother is in charge of the harem, how can she sit idly by?" ”
"Queen?" Minyang sneered: "Heh, the queen has no children under her knees, but she sits firmly in the middle palace and has been prosperous for a long time." Do you think she relies on virtue to convince people? She's the most vicious ......"
Minyang's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly understood something, and said in disbelief: "You are the queen's person?" ”
Yan Ran didn't answer, but only concentrated on playing with the bracelet in her hand, as if she had found something interesting, leaving Minyang alone to shock.
Now that the harem is stable, the prince has been decided, and the queen is in power, why does she still arrange for newcomers to enter the palace?
Speaking of which, the crown prince and Xiao Zun both have biological mothers, and they were not raised by the queen.
They were young and fashionable and could listen to the queen, but now their wings were growing and their wings were hardening, and they were gradually out of her control.
Perhaps, the queen wants a sister-in-law who has been cultivated by herself and is absolutely loyal to her, and Yan Ran is the candidate for the child's biological mother.
Emperor Sheng is only close to the age of confusion now, and it will not be a problem to live for another ten or eight years, and then the child will grow up.
In the battle for storage positions, it is still uncertain who will spend it.
Yan Ran didn't say a word, and Minyang imagined many twists and turns out of thin air.
Yan Ran saw that Minyang's brain was almost made up, and said again: "Eldest princess, you have torn your face with the Wen family, and she holds many of your secrets in her hands, so it is hard to guarantee that one day she will not be open-mouthed. If you don't cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, how can you sleep peacefully? ”
Min Yang suddenly cast a sharp gaze on Yan Ran: "You want to borrow my hand to get rid of the Wen family?" ”
Yan Ran chuckled, but her eyes were cold: "I have a grudge against the Wen family for killing my mother, and the eldest princess doesn't need to do it for me, as long as the eldest princess helps me expose this matter." ”
If these words were said by Yan Ran in the past, Min Yangli would not have paid attention to them.
But now, Yan Ran's identity is not the same.
She is a new favorite concubine who is about to enter the palace, she has beauty and means, it is easy to win the sacred heart, and it is only a matter of time before she gives birth to a prince.
The queen has stood in the palace for many years, and she has a strong queen of her mother's house.
These two join forces, and I am afraid that the situation in the harem will change.
Faced with such a situation, it is difficult for Minyang not to waver.
Seeing that Minyang was still hesitating, Yan Ran threw out another hammer: "I know that the eldest princess has always been wise to protect herself. However, since the eldest princess has secretly helped the crown prince and the second prince, why not take this opportunity to give me a big gift? In the future, there may not be such an opportunity. ”
Minyang was shocked again: "How do you know ......?"
In the face of the prince's struggle for power, although Minyang seems to be neutral on the surface, he has already secretly shown favor to the crown prince and the second prince respectively.
She is so two-faced and stabbed, just to keep the glory and wealth of her mother and son no matter which prince wins the throne in the future.
But these things are extremely secret, how can Yan Ran know?
Minyang was shocked and shocked, but he also had to admit that what Yan Ran said was reasonable.
Even if she doesn't join forces with Yan Ran today, she will always bother to envelop her one day in the future.
In this case, why didn't she seize this opportunity, not only to make Yan Ran admit her feelings, but also to get rid of the hidden danger of the Wen family, killing two birds with one stone?
Minyang settled down, obviously persuaded by Yan Ran, but still didn't want to implicate himself: "The Wen family plotted to kill your mother, this palace doesn't know, but it's ......"
She changed her words and said: "There is a Zhao Mama by Wen's side, who is her nurse, and the two of them are in the same breath. She knows everything about Wen's, you go ask her! ”
Yan Ran said: "Mama Zhao has already taken the blame for the Wen family and was expelled from the mansion. Moreover, she is loyal to the Wen family, and she will not let go even if she is afraid of coercion and temptation, and she also asks the eldest princess to give advice. ”
Minyang snorted lightly: "As long as it is a human being, there will be a weakness. Although Mama Zhao has never married in her life, in the early years, she had an affair with someone and gave birth to a daughter. This incident violated the etiquette law, and Wen helped her hide it. Now, her daughter is far away in Liangzhou and married to a county magistrate. is only a seven-grade small official, and the palace is still holding it. Do the rest yourself. ”
Now, it was finally Yan Ran's turn to be shocked.
It turned out that Mama Zhao had a daughter, and she never knew about such secrets for a long life.
Many years have passed since Wen poisoned Zhang, the evidence no longer exists, and the witnesses have all been dealt with by Wen.
Yan Ran couldn't convict Wen, so he could only start with Minyang.
These two used to be good friends, Wen can know Minyang's secrets, and Minyang can naturally know her.
Now it seems that the move of cooperating with Minyang is very correct.
It wasn't until she walked out of the Dingguo Mansion that Qingxuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest and said, "Girl, you just told so many secrets about the eldest princess one after another, and the slaves and maids were going to be scared to death, for fear that she would kill people and kill people!" ”
Yan Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of happiness arose in her heart that a great revenge was about to be avenged: "If it was in the past, I would have mastered all the secrets of the eldest princess, and I wouldn't be able to blackmail her, but I was afraid that the door of the Dingguo Mansion would have no way out." But now that I am negotiating with her as an imperial concubine, she will not dare to kill me no matter what, but will see my use value and cooperate with me. ”
If she didn't take the risk of taking this step, she wouldn't even be qualified to negotiate with Minyang.
At this time, Xian Luo came over and said, "Girl, the slave maid has just gone to investigate, and something happened in the palace, so the son has not been able to leave the palace." ”
Yan Ran originally thought that although Wen Rong'an would understand her plan after reading her long letter, her abrupt move that day would inevitably make him angry, so she wanted to take advantage of his rest today to coax him.
But he didn't return for a long time, so he sent someone to find out the news, but he didn't expect that something happened in the palace.
Yan Ran said strangely: "What happened in the palace?" ”
Xian Luo replied truthfully: "I heard that the second prince drank and slighted King Yongning's favorite concubine, King Yongning was furious and threatened to kill the second prince, and the palace is in chaos!" ”
"How so?"
When Yan Ran heard the news, she was stunned.
