Chapter 13: Finding Allies

Concubine De was surprised in her heart, her face still showed no landscape, and she secretly speculated about what this twelve-year-old girl came here for today.

In the harem, her position is not low, the emperor's favor is neither more nor less, and the mother's family behind her is the Hussar General's Mansion, which can be regarded as a powerful person.

It's just that over the years, she has been keeping a low profile, not fighting with others, and not participating in any faction in the harem, just to avoid those bloodless wars, and also to protect Zhao Yuhong from being overthrown to the center of the power field.

Today's matter is related to the Duanmu family, which everyone is arguing about, and she has no way to let her young and vigorous son offend in order to offend in one breath, so she opened her mouth to speak to the emperor.

I also knew in my heart that I was afraid that I had attracted the attention of the queen and Concubine Shu, but I didn't expect this little girl to talk like this.

Duanmu Qing saw that she was silent, and sighed slightly, "Although the courtiers don't know what is going on today, it is obvious that someone took the opportunity to drag the Nine Emperor Princes into the troubled waters. ”

Hearing what she said, Concubine De was stunned, waved her hand, and let everyone go down, leaving the two of them indoors.

"Miss Duanmu, but what do you have to say to this palace?" Concubine De hid all the thoughts in her heart and asked calmly.

Duanmu Qing had a little envy on his face, "In fact, there is no big difference between this harem and the mansion, where there are people, there are fights, but after all, I envy the Nine Emperors, and my mother has probably heard about it, my mother is sick all the year round, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the house, and my father never interferes in internal affairs, and my grandmother is Aunt Li's aunt, and the courtiers are ......."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, he hurriedly sniffed, held back his emotions, and pulled out a smile, "So, seeing Niangniang and the Nine Emperors maintaining each other like that, it's really, a little envious." ”

Although Concubine De rarely dealt with the women outside, it was still clear where and where something happened, and the affairs of the Yongding Marquis Mansion were not a secret, so she naturally knew about it.

Look at the girl in front of her, but at the age of twelve, she is obviously the eldest lady, but she was rubbed and pinched flat by a little aunt, and she is also a little sympathetic in the end.

Taking a deep breath, Duanmu Qing looked at Concubine De's face, and said seriously: "Today's matter, Niangniang has also seen it clearly, although the princes have not spoken, but everyone knows that there is no dark tide here, Niang Niang forbears, but to protect the safety of the Nine Emperors, but now, I am afraid that it is very rare!" ”

Concubine De didn't know that the Nine Emperors were now sixteen years old, and they could be regarded as having the Emperor's Sacred Heart on weekdays, so it was not easy to talk about it if they wanted to stay out of the matter, but it was not good to say this to Duanmu Qing.

Duanmu Qing saw that she was silent, and knew that she was not worried about herself, and she had no intention of talking to herself about such a thing, "If you really want to be safe now, you can only let the Nine Emperor Princes compete for favor, and the competition for favor is not to win something, but to keep something." ”

Hearing this, Concubine De's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and her heart was also alarmed, this girl was actually here to persuade herself to join the battle for imperial power, so what is her purpose? Who does she represent? Could it be the Marquis of Yongding?

"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall," Duanmu Qing took a shallow sip of tea, "Niang Niang still reminds the Nine Emperors that it is better to stay away from Wang Nei, although he is the most trusted eunuch by His Majesty's side in recent years, but the Nine Emperors should check this person, and then think carefully about whether they can afford to take this risk." ”

"What do you mean?"

Hong'er has a relationship with Wang Neishi? How did she not know?

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it seemed very possible, what Hong'er has done in recent years is indeed very much to His Majesty's appetite, and he is often praised, since Xiaohong'er has not been with His Majesty for a long time, how can he grasp His Majesty's mind so accurately?

"That Wang Neishi's hometown is in Huyang, I heard that there are thousands of acres of fertile land, not to mention, but also built a Wang family ancestral hall, this ancestral hall seems to be a little inappropriate! There is no impermeable wall in this world, if all this is caught by others as a handle, I am afraid that the Nine Emperors will really be the gentleman standing under the dangerous wall. ”

"How do you know?" Concubine De almost blurted out this sentence, but at this time, she couldn't care about it, and her delicate forehead was also densely sweated.

How does she know? Duanmu Qing can't tell her that she has been a human being in two lives, so she saw it with her own eyes!

In the previous life, Zhao Yuhong, the ninth prince of the emperor, was given a cold reception by the emperor because of this incident, and he was not able to turn over until later, according to Zhao Yufeng later, if it wasn't for Zhao Yuhong's young age and being caught by this handle, he would also be a strong opponent.

Later, the one who killed Zhao Yuhong was the fifth prince Zhao Yuxuan, who was instigated by Zhao Yufeng.

"It doesn't matter how the courtiers know, the important thing is that this news is very important to Niangniang and the Nine Emperors, the courtiers know about this, maybe Niangniang won't believe it, but it doesn't seem to be difficult to verify."

Secretly having an idea in her heart, Concubine De stabilized her mind, and also brought a slight smile, "Why are you telling me this?" It won't be just because I was touched by our mother and son! ”

Very good, very good, the people in the palace are the people in the palace, and there can be a lot less of things at this time, "I need the support of the mother, the queen is the sister of the Li family, Yi Zhaoyi is also biased towards the Li family, I need my own power." ”

This is a decent reason, Concubine De is relieved a lot, just ask for something, and the most afraid are those who don't have what they want.

Concubine De and Duanmu Qing appeared at the palace banquet together, which made many people secretly surprised, I don't know how these two people, who were still in a stalemate during the day, could laugh and laugh at this time.

"Yi Zhaoyi's mother's house is really a family of etiquette, and Miss Duanmu specially went to the palace to apologize for what the distant country did today, which made the palace a little embarrassed." As soon as Concubine De came, she didn't explain anything to everyone, but walked straight to Duanmu Zhu and laughed.

Duanmu Zhu was slightly stunned, and then smiled sweetly, "Sister Concubine De has won the award, it was originally our Yongding Marquis Mansion who didn't recognize people clearly, so we let that fine work get mixed in, and let my sister be frightened, and we also have our responsibility." ”

Concubine De smiled and nodded, said no more, and went to her place.

didn't let go of the suspicion in Duanmu Zhu's eyes at all, Duanmu Qing smiled and took Duanmu Zhu's hand, looking very intimate.

Duanmu Zhu was stunned, others didn't know, but she knew her niece's personality very well, and she was cold and cold like her mother, when did she see her like this?

Before she could speak, Duanmu Qing said in a low voice, "Auntie doesn't blame me, right?" I thought that although the pearl had been verified to be the remnants of a distant country, but after all, it was brought by our house, so I was afraid that Concubine De and the Nine Emperor Princes would hold a grudge and embarrass you in the palace. ”

Almost didn't give her a chance to speak, while helping her to the table, Duanmu Qing continued: "After all, we are a family, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related, and they are not clearly involved, and their own family members do not take care of each other, and it is not easy for outsiders to bully, not to mention that the princess is still young, if there is an enemy in this deep palace, how can it be good." ”

After saying this, the two of them had already walked to the edge of their seats.

Duanmu Zhu had a smile on his face, he really didn't realize that his niece still had such a heart.

Patting her hand, Duanmu Zhu smiled and said, "Good boy, my aunt is very relieved to hear what you say, you have grown up." ”

Saying this in his mouth, he couldn't help but think of the actions of Li's mother and daughter in his heart, although he didn't know what the pearl was about, but who she was, even if others couldn't be sure, didn't they know it in their hearts?

Thinking of the reaction of the Li family and Duanmu Zi when the Yongding Marquis Mansion was bitten by the Nine Emperor Princes, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Duanmu Qing returned to his seat, but he was thinking about why Duanmu Zhu treated his family like that in his previous life, he actually colluded with Zhao Yufeng and sent the family to the guillotine.

In the past, Zhao Yufeng gave her the reason because she wanted to be able to enjoy honor after he registered, but now it seems that this reason is inevitably too weak, with the status of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, no matter who becomes the emperor, will Duanmu Zhu, as a concubine, still be wronged?

I can't figure it out, it seems that this matter still needs to be investigated in this life.

The banquet in the evening was a little grand because of the ministers and foreign ministers who came to the court, as well as some envoys from Fandi, and at the same time, everyone's mood was also a little serious.

No one laughed or played, and even the smiles on their faces when they toasted each other were accurate.

For such a banquet, Duanmu Qing felt extremely boring, so he simply thought about his own things.

But I don't know why, I always feel that there is a gaze staring at me at the banquet, and when I turn my face to look, there is nothing abnormal, as if it is just my own illusion.

A few times like this, anyone will feel uncomfortable!

It was easy to get to the end of the banquet, and everyone got into their carriage as they had come, and went home.

Because of the daytime, Duanmu Zi and Li also found it very boring.

Sitting in the carriage, Duanmu Qing still closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but Li's fierce gaze kept falling on his body, which was really uncomfortable.

"I have the ability to put the broken intestine grass you put on me on Pearl, and I have the ability to put it in your meal, do you believe it or not?" When he finished the last word, Duanmu Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and he coldly piled up Li's gaze.

Shivered violently, and Li was speechless for a while.

Duanmu Zi screamed and looked at her in disbelief, "It's you!" It's you! ”

A shallow smile appeared on his lips, as if he was mocking the stupidity of their mother and daughter, "You still have to think about it, why you have fascinated so many people after dancing your carefully prepared dance, but you can't get a word of praise from Your Majesty!" ”
