Chapter 236: I Won't
The new official took over the position of the other scholars in Emperor Sheng's heart, and tailored a set of cultivation methods for him.
Among them is the method of combining yin and yang, which makes the harem, which has been snubbed by Emperor Sheng for a long time, boil again.
The concubines of the palace began a new round of open and secret fighting, and competed to curry favor with the national teacher, hoping to enter the eyes of the national teacher, and be selected to become the person who helped Emperor Sheng to cultivate, and ascended with him in the future.
All of a sudden, the national teacher was in the limelight, and he was soft to get the money.
Emperor Sheng was hollowed out by wine in the early years, and a real person did not let him be contaminated with wine, supplemented by medicine and pranayama, in fact, he was conditioning his body.
But now, he has returned to that kind of life of spending all day and night, and the little weak foundation that he had accumulated with great difficulty has been consumed again.
Yan Ran couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Zun's methods were really ruthless.
However, Xiao Zun took so much effort, but the result was not as good as he expected.
Emperor Sheng was very convinced of the national teacher, and was even more obsessed with asking for immortals, ignoring the government and politics, and was almost in a state of complete decentralization.
If it was before, Xiao Zun would be very happy.
But now, the crown prince has made a comeback, taking away a lot of power from his hands, and fighting against him, which makes him very annoyed.
Therefore, in order to please Emperor Sheng, Xiao Zun offered him a beauty, and was affirmed by the national teacher, asserting that this woman was the most suitable person to cultivate with Emperor Sheng.
Emperor Sheng was really very happy, and handed over all the power of the first Enke after the war to Xiao Zun, which made his heart feel a little balanced.
After all, if he presided over the imperial examination, he could use his position to select talents for training and cultivate his own power.
In the past, it was the crown prince who presided over the imperial examination, and the benefits fell into his hands, but now that it was finally Xiao Zun's turn, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
There is an undercurrent surging above the court, and there is no peace in the back house.
Cui Jingyi is really a virtuous helper, when Xiao Zun and the prince's ring was in full swing, she quietly and secretly stuffed a few beauties into the East Palace.
In the past, when the prince was proud, he accepted beautiful concubines and snubbed the crown princess, which shows that he is not a dedicated person.
Cui Jingyi is well aware of the truth that beauty is misleading, as long as the prince is obsessed with beauty, not only can he be distracted from the fight with Xiao Zun, but also can separate his relationship with the crown princess, and lose the help of the princess's mother's family.
"This palace is not a jealous person, and as a prince, it doesn't hurt to have a few concubines. But now that the crown prince has just recovered, it is time to establish merit and regain power, but he is delayed in the love of his children! ”
"That dancing girl is clearly related to Prince Gong's mansion, so she can't be the spy they sent! But no matter how the palace persuaded him, the prince didn't believe it as if he was fascinated, but said that the palace was jealous of the beauty of the dancing girl and deliberately planted it! ”
"He quarreled with Bengong for a dancing girl, which really chilled Bengong!"
"Bengong has been with him for a long time, but he didn't expect that Bengong's status in his heart is not as good as a dancing girl!"
Since the ban on the East Palace was lifted, the crown princess has gone to Shoukang Palace every day to ask for peace.
After saying goodbye, she pulled Yan Ran to spit out her bitterness, complaining about the prince's unkindness.
Yan Ran was worried, she thought that after this ordeal, the prince would be able to calm down.
Unexpectedly, when he met a woman, he was still dizzy, and he simply inherited Emperor Sheng's lustful heart ten out of ten, which was in response to Wen Rongan's concern that the prince might drag them back.
If it weren't for the fact that she still had to support the crown prince to ascend to the throne, Yan Ran couldn't delay the future of the crown princess, and she really wanted her to kick this scumbag.
But right now, Yan Ran could only advise the crown princess: "Your Highness, the prince is planning a great cause, so it's not good to be distracted by such a trivial matter." Why don't you follow his wishes and marry that Maijina into the door? You are the crown prince and concubine, and the queen has delegated power to you to take care of the affairs of the East Palace. You put this person under your nose, you can beat it and restrain it, and you can't turn it into the palm of your hand. ”
The crown princess was reluctant: "The dancing girl was extremely beautiful, and the prince was fascinated." If she is included in the East Palace, I am afraid that the prince will be nostalgic for the gentle township every day, where will he still have the heart to plot a great cause? ”
Yan Ran said: "As the so-called fragrance is far away and smelly, the prince is haunted by her, precisely because he didn't get it." If you see it every day, no matter how deep your joy is, it will become normal. ”
In the past, in order to win people's hearts, the prince always showed an affectionate and unswerving appearance, and treated the princess very well, and there was not even a concubine by his side.
This also makes the crown princess marry for many years, but she does not have the majesty of the main mother, and she lacks the means to control the concubine.
It was because she encountered this kind of thing that she had no master, and she went to the doctor in a hurry to discuss with Yan Ran, a girl who had not yet left the cabinet.
Yan Ran had an idea, but she and the crown princess were just monarchs and ministers, and they had no personal relationship, so they couldn't say anything more to her.
She vaguely mentioned: "Or you can make an appointment with the prince for three chapters, the most important thing for him now is to stabilize his position, and he knows not to spread the scandal of the restless family." He wants beauty, but he should also be sincere to you. ”
The crown princess thought about it, she didn't want to affect the prince's business, nor did she want to tear her face with him, so she finally decided to grit her teeth and accept the concubine.
Yan Ran sighed in her heart, she could see that the crown princess still had affection for the prince.
If not, she doesn't need to be so entangled at all, she can be like Queen Zhen, be a generous housewife, as long as she is not picked out for mistakes, she will be a mother in the world in the future, she will be unfavored and childless, and she is not still a high authority.
After the crown princess left, Wen Rongan walked out of the house, hugged Yan Ran from behind, and said in a muffled voice: "I won't." ”
Yan Ran was confused by his headless words: "Won't it be anything? ”
Wen Rong'an turned Yan Ran around and looked at her with a very sincere expression: "Even if I see you every day, I will always be happy, and I will not get tired of it." ”
It turned out that he heard what Yan Ran said to the crown princess, saying that if he saw him every day, no matter how deep the joy would be, he would become normal, and the meaning of helplessness and sadness made him feel uneasy, so he hurriedly expressed his heartfelt feelings to her.
Yan Ran raised her hand to wrap her arms around Wen Rong'an's neck and chuckled, "I know, my words are only aimed at the prince. ”
Of course she knows that her cousin is always different, how can a scumbag like Xiao Yu be compared to a cousin of Qingfeng Langyue?
The crown princess listened to Yan Ran's suggestion, forbearance for a while, and offered to admit the dancing girl into the East Palace.
The prince originally had a tough attitude, and he wanted to keep his beloved woman by his side, and wanted to give the crown prince a high position.
However, the crown princess suddenly changed her attitude, no longer objected, and expressed her support, which made the prince feel guilty.
After all, he almost lost his position of power before, but it was the princess's unwavering companionship, careful care, and gentle encouragement that he gradually came out of the haze.
Before the two fell in love with each other for a few days, he got a new love, but she was generous and tolerant, which inevitably made him feel ashamed.
So, the prince handed over the matter of concubine to the princess, that is, the princess only gave the dancing girl a good lady position, and he had no objection.
As if she had discovered a new world, the crown princess shared this matter with Yan Ran very curiously: "Imperial Doctor Yan, I didn't expect that this method of retreating as advance is quite effective. ”
Yan Ran smiled and agreed, but she was sneering in her heart, heh, man.
The crown princess came this time and brought an invitation to Yan Ran, inviting her to attend the banquet in a few days.
"It's just a small birthday banquet in this palace, and it's not worth it. However, the palace has not been with the wife for a long time, so I took this opportunity to invite a few familiar ladies to a small gathering. Mrs. Xuanping Hou and Miss Zhen from Qingguo Mansion will come, and the banquet venue is in the East Palace, if the Queen Mother is looking for you, you will have time to go back and forth. ”
The crown princess arranged it so thoughtfully, Yan Ran couldn't refuse, so she responded.
Zhen Yu and Zhao Yu received the invitation, so they entered the palace early to find Yan Ran, and the three of them went together.
The crown princess said that it was a small banquet, but it was really a small banquet, and only invited less than ten wives, including Cui Jingyi.
Although the crown prince and Xiao Zun fought to the death in the court, the apparent peace still had to be maintained.
They are reluctant to make a show, so this matter of maintaining face falls to their respective virtuous helpers.
If she hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, Cui Jingyi would still be very calm.
She greeted the crown princess in a regular manner, gave gifts, and talked warmly, like a pair of affectionate concubines.
Even when she saw Yan Ran, she also greeted her with a soft smile, as if nothing had happened.
provoked Zhen Yu couldn't help but complain: "Tsk, what a thick-skinned person." ”
Zhao Yu smiled and said: "I should say that the city is deep, why did you get there, but you became thick-skinned?" ”
Yan Ran chuckled, and when she talked about being thick-skinned, she thought of Wen Rong'an out of time, that guy was really thick-skinned, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
Yan Ranzheng was distracted, and suddenly heard the princess say: "Everyone, wait a minute, there are some general affairs in this palace that need to be dealt with urgently, just come when you go." ”
Yan Ran noticed that a maid goddess came to the princess in a hurry, and whispered to her, which made her face change suddenly and leave the table temporarily.
Yan Ran didn't know what was going on, so she could only wait with the others.
But everyone waited for a long time, and they didn't see the princess come back.
Cui Jingyi, as the princess, was the highest-ranking person present, so she came forward to preside over it, summoned a palace person and instructed: "Go and ask the princess whether to have a banquet." ”
The palace people quickly went and returned, and said something to Cui Jingyi.
Cui Jingyi stood up and said with a panicked face: "What? Something happened to the crown princess? Where, take us there! ”
The others also looked pale, and got up one after another to follow Cui Jingyi.
Yan Ran's intuition was not good, but she couldn't stop so many people, so she could only follow along.
The group followed Cui Jingyi's footsteps and hurriedly came to a rockery, only to see that the crown princess was very dignified, but there was a woman lying on the ground in front of her, and her skirt was stained with blood.
The crown princess didn't care about being watched by everyone, stepped forward to grab Yan Ran, and said hurriedly: "Imperial Doctor Yan, save her quickly!" ”
Yan Ran stepped forward quickly to check the woman's pulse, but when she saw the woman's face clearly, she was shocked, and a cold air rose from the soles of her feet.
