Chapter 315: Concubine Liu's treacherous scheme
i^i^
The Emperor's Birthday. All the ministers sent their congratulatory gifts. And these princes are naturally no exception.
Su Yirong turned his head and looked at Leng Yanxi, who had a calm face. I couldn't help but chuckle and asked. You don't seem to have told me what you have in store for you."
"So want to know." Leng Yanxi listened to it, but sold it.
Su Yirong thought for a moment. But he still nodded. I don't think you're looking for any ordinary gift with your abilities. Not to mention any tacky gold and silver jewelry. But I couldn't guess what it was. I'm really curious."
"Looks like you really know me well. Both of the points you said earlier are correct. But no matter how smart you are, you still can't guess what." Leng Yanxi gave her a thumbs up when he heard it. Look at her and smile.
Look at the way he sells off. Su Yirong gritted his teeth in anger. If you don't say it, you don't say it. You're going to have to take it out later, anyway."
Leng Yanxi shook his head helplessly. Laughed. But he was about to speak. Seeing that Liu Guifei on the emperor's side suddenly smiled and spoke. Emperor. You see that the relationship between Prince Rui and the princess is really good. Seeing them like this, the concubines were a little envious."
When the emperor heard this, he also smiled and looked at the two. But I saw the two people who hadn't been in a hurry to separate. He smiled and nodded. Zirong'er married Xi'er. Xi'er's smile is getting bigger and bigger. It's not as cold as it used to be. Rong'er can be said to have contributed a lot."
Su Yirong saw that the actions of the two attracted the emperor's attention. There was a wave of embarrassment on his face. Hurriedly let go of Leng Yanxi's hand. Said with a smile. Father. You're looking down on me. I don't have that ability."
"Don't be modest. Xi'er has changed in the past two years, but I can see it in my eyes. If it weren't for you. He may still be the same as he was a few years ago. Every day I know that I have a cold face.
It's still much more pleasing to the eye now. And since getting married. It's also much calmer. It's all up to you." The emperor waved his hand. Said to her with a smile.
"Father. Don't say that. I'm embarrassed if you keep boasting." Su Yirong's face turned red. But there is no petty family spirit at all. He also spoke generously to the emperor.
On the contrary, Concubine Liu on the side changed her face after listening to what the emperor said. Perhaps no one knows better than her why Leng Yanxi became the way she is.
She still felt a little heartache to see the change in him. But after seeing him slowly change back into the one who could still laugh because of Su Yirong. But her heart ached even more.
Looking up, I saw Leng Yanxi chuckling and looking at Su Yirong. Eyes and hearts are full of her. Liu Guifei's heart became more and more uncomfortable. Turn your head to look at the emperor." Emperor. What are you talking about? If it weren't for Princess Rui. Lord Rui may still have a cold face every day. Anyone who sees it will be afraid."
"Aifei and I really think the same." When the emperor heard this, he nodded and smiled even more happily.
But Su Yirong was a little surprised when he heard it. Concubine Liu seems to be speaking for herself. Su Yirong definitely didn't believe that she would be so kind to help herself. I can't help but have a bad premonition in my heart.
Sure enough, Concubine Liu didn't have any good intentions. He glanced at Su Yirong with a smile. Emperor. You may not know it when you are in the palace. Prince Rui and Princess Rui are now the most enviable pair in the capital.
I heard that King Rui is wholeheartedly devoted to the princess. Princess Rui is also gentle and virtuous. Keep the house in order. There has never been any discord in the family like in other houses."
"Then the concubine is also envious." The emperor listened and nodded. But he suddenly asked with a smile.
"The emperor is really joking. A concubine has the best husband in the world. Where is there envy of others." Liu Guifei said coquettishly without thinking about it.
The emperor is very useful. And he continued. But what Ai Fei said is also very true. If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. Xi'er and Rong'er can handle the affairs of the house so well. I'm really glad to see it."
"These are all things that a retainer should do." Although Leng Yanxi's temper has improved a lot. But it's still like gold.
"Your Majesty. You see that King Rui is still humble." Liu Guifei laughed when she heard this. Don't wait for the emperor to say anything. But he spoke again. It's just that the concubine doesn't know something."
"I don't know what's going on with Concubine Ai." The emperor turned his head and asked.
Su Yirong saw her smug smile. But his face changed suddenly. Intuitively, she must have bad intentions. But there is nothing to stop her at this time. I can only find a way to deal with it.
Concubine Liu Guifei listened to the emperor's question. He looked at Su Yirong with a smile. Since Princess Rui is so capable. Presumably quite generous. There will be no strange sound in the house.
But how can there be nothing out of the Rui Wangfu until now?"
"Liu Guifei. Please." Leng Yanxi couldn't help but sink his face a little when he heard this. The matter of the child has always been a pain in Su Yirong's heart. Usually he doesn't mention it as long as he can. But I didn't expect that Concubine Liu would talk about this matter today.
Liu Guifei was not frightened by him. but because of his words, my heart was even more unfair. He said coldly. I don't mean though. Lord Wang, you see that the palace of the thirteen princes now has good news. But there has been no news from your house for many years. And not only the princess. Even the concubines are the same. It's kind of weird."
Hearing her words, Su Yirong's face suddenly became ugly. It is impossible for those concubines to be pregnant. Leng Yanxi hasn't even touched them since he married them. It's a strange thing to have.
But I didn't expect Liu Guifei to talk about this matter. But everything else can be refuted. This alone cannot be refuted.
"Concubine Liu is not wrong. Now even the thirteenth has a child. This is true only in your house." The emperor also nodded.
Leng Yanxi saw that the emperor also opened his mouth. secretly pulled Su Yirong to show comfort. Then he looked up and said. Father. Erchen and Rong'er are still young. There's no need to rush these things."
"You're not in a hurry, I'm a little anxious for you." The emperor sighed. Indeed, I have many children. But I can't see that there is nothing to come out of your Rui King's mansion. But it's become a nuisance for me."
"Your Majesty. Lord Rui is right. I can't rush it." Liu Guifei stood up at this time to play a round. But Su Yirong didn't thank her at all. That's what she did. And she doesn't look like she's going to stop.
Su Yirong thought so. And Liu Guifei really has something to say." But the concubine has an idea. I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
"What's your idea? Let's just say it." The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Seeing this, Su Yirong knew that if she didn't fight back, she might really succeed. He smiled and said. Today is the emperor's birthday. Compare it to the things in the palace of the King of Rui. Or the emperor's birthday is important. We can talk about that another day."
"That's what Rong'er said. It's still the father's birthday that matters. If you make your father's birthday banquet unhappy because of your son's affairs. There's a sin in that." Leng Yanxi also continued Su Yirong's words. Attempts to divert the conversation.
But where will Concubine Liu stop there. He looked at the two of them with a smile. The emperor's birthday banquet is important. But your business is not trivial. If the Rui King's Mansion can spread good news. That's the best birthday gift for the emperor."
"That's what Concubine Ai said. Tell me what you can do." The emperor listened and nodded. He asked directly.
Seeing this, Su Yirong couldn't stop it anymore. I could only look down at her no more. Leng Yanxi sensed her uneasiness. Hold her hand tightly.
With him by his side, Su Yirong felt better. But that uneasiness didn't go away.
Liu Guifei looked at Su Yirong and smiled as if she was victorious. Then he turned his head to look at the emperor." The emperor still remembers. On your birthday, other countries pay tribute to various specialties. There are also a lot of beauties. You said you would give some to the princes.
Since the emperor has this intention. It's better to send a few people to the Rui Wang's Mansion.
First, since Princess Rui can live in peace with the current concubine. Presumably, if there is a new concubine, it must be no problem. Second, Rui Wangfu has not come out. Maybe the arrival of these people will bring good news."
"Concubine Liu is right. Xi'er's mansion has not been heard from since the last time she married the side room. It's time to take this opportunity to take some concubines." The emperor nodded when he heard this.
Su Yirong's face couldn't help but change when he heard this. She thought that Concubine Liu would not let her go so easily. But I didn't expect to make a fuss about the concubine's room.
Fortunately, Leng Yanxi took her hand and never let go. So that she is not impulsive yet. Took a deep breath. When he calmed down, he didn't say anything. Just leave this matter to Leng Yanxi to deal with.
But I knew that my arms couldn't twist my thighs. Now that the emperor is interested. Even Leng Yanxi retorted. It doesn't seem to have much effect.
Leng Yanxi couldn't let them decide their own affairs like this. Busy said. Emperor. Erchen is busy with business right now. Or it doesn't need to be that way. Besides, the concubines in the house are enough. I haven't thought about taking another concubine for the time being."
"King Rui's words are wrong. Although there are many concubines in your house. But after all, he is a dignified prince. Where can there be too many concubines?" Liu Guifei saw him refute. The heart is even more resentful. How could she not know that Leng Yanxi did this for Su Yirong.
Leng Yanxi listened and looked at her fiercely. It's just for a moment. But it really makes people's hearts palpitate.
Concubine Liu had never seen him like this. I can't help but be shocked. I didn't dare to say any more. But at this time. The Thirteen Princes, who could hear their conversation, stepped forward." Sixth Brother. Our brothers have finished their congratulatory gifts. But it's up to you. You're not trying to get out of the way."
The eight princes didn't take the opportunity to embarrass Leng Yanxi. After all, Su Yirong still helped them. So don't embarrass her. He also smiled and responded to the words of the Thirteen Princes. clamoring to see his birthday gift.
I shifted the topic to the birthday ceremony. The emperor seems to be more interested in his stuff. For a moment, both Su Yirong and Leng Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
