Chapter 167: Fortune
When the time came, he was angry with Emperor Yuan's concubine, and indirectly offended His Majesty, and was accused of unfilial piety.
That Chen Jin, he should be proud again.
Since she was going to the palace to attend the birthday banquet of Emperor Yuan's concubine, she would definitely be prepared to deal with Chen Jin's conspiracy and calculations.
The east courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, Qingxue Pavilion.
The crown prince Chen Fang is weak, that is a well-known thing in the Great Chen Dynasty.
Because Chen Fang is not in good health, the east courtyard of the prince's mansion is sunny and the air is good, and Chen Fang has been living in the east courtyard to recuperate.
And Xie Yuanjun has been living in the West Courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
In the west courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, there is a large garden, and Xie Yuanjun always likes to serve flowers and grass.
Since entering the mansion, most of the time, Xie Yuanjun has lived in the West Courtyard.
On about one or two days a month, Xie Yuanjun would go to the East Courtyard and talk to Chen Fang, but he never spent the night in the East Courtyard.
At this moment, Chen Fang leaned on the golden silk soft pillow behind him, his face was pale, his lips were purple, he was dressed in a purple Su embroidered robe, and his black and scattered hair was fixed by a small and delicate jasper crown.
A few strands of broken hair fell from his temples, making Chen Fang more and more weak.
Chen Fang's illness is a disease that came out of his mother's womb.
I heard that it was caused by the preterm month, and when I gave birth, the doctor of the Tai Hospital and the midwife mother who had more than ten years of experience in delivering babies in the palace spent a lot of effort to give birth to Chen Fang safely.
has been sick intermittently for so many years, even if it is a strong body, it can't stand it.
Not to mention Chen Fang's weak body now.
Emperor Yuan's concubine felt sorry for the prince, so she specially invited someone to go to Zhongnan Mountain, found the real person in Chongyang Palace, and found the three-flavor elixir.
After using the medicine for so many years, the prince's body is gradually recovering.
But the weakness in front of him is still visible to the naked eye.
After drinking the medicine, he took the silk handkerchief handed by the maid and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.
Then Chen Fang set his eyes on Xiao Anzi, the personal inner supervisor who was kneeling in front of him at the moment.
"But the news came out of the palace? Is it the Imperial Concubine Niangniang, or Your Majesty?"
Xiao Anzi is one of Chen Fang's henchmen, and often helps Chen Fang and inquires about every move in the palace.
Xiao Anzi paused and replied respectfully.
"Today is the ninth day of the first month of March, and tomorrow is the birthday of the imperial concubine, the birthday of the imperial concubine, Your Majesty and the mother in the palace will also be present, if the crown princess is not there, I'm afraid it's not good?"
Emperor Yuan's concubine is the same as the deputy queen.
Although Emperor Yuan's concubine is not a queen now, and she does not have the name of a queen, she already has the reality of a queen.
On the birthday of Emperor Yuan's concubine, if the crown prince and the princess did not appear in person, it would be in front of so many people in the palace, and they personally gave the face of Emperor Yuan's concubine.
Emperor Yuan's concubine has always loved face, and if she loses her face like this, it is equivalent to offending her.
Offending the imperial concubine is tantamount to offending Your Majesty.
Xiao Anzi raised his eyes and stared at the prince in front of him, as if he was waiting for him to reply.
The crown princess is sick these days?
The prince hasn't even looked at it once, is it possible that he still cares about that thing?
But the prince has never been a person who holds grudges, not to mention that person is still the crown princess.
Chen Fang chuckled, raised his head, looked at Xiao Anzi beside him, and slowly opened his mouth.
"You don't have to worry too much, since she is unwell, let her continue to raise her in the house!"
In fact, Xie Yuanjun was not really unwell, but he just didn't want to go out to meet guests, and he didn't want to deal with the people in the palace.
"On the birthday of the imperial concubine tomorrow, if Your Majesty asks about it, I only said that the crown princess is unwell and will be kept in the mansion. The Imperial Concubine has always been considerate of me, and she will definitely believe what I say. ”
Since Xie Yuanjun was unwilling to go, he would never force her to go.
From the first day Xie Yuanjun married into the Prince's Mansion, he promised him that what she was unwilling to do, he would not force her to do.
Since he loves her and likes her, he shouldn't force her.
Xiao Anzi's brows furrowed tightly, obviously not too satisfied with what Chen Fang had just said, and continued to persuade him.
"Crown prince, imperial concubine Niangniang, although His Majesty did not personally crown her as the queen, but what she is exercising now is already the power of the queen."
"Even if the imperial concubine Niangniang, no matter how considerate the crown prince is, the princess is obviously in good health, stay in the mansion, and don't go into the palace to pay homage to the imperial concubine's mother, this is reasonable, it is unreasonable!"
"And Your Majesty hasn't liked the prince very much over the years, if it is such an important banquet, the princess is still absent, I am afraid that I will anger Your Majesty, and then I will take the prince with me and be punished by Your Majesty."
Since the crown princess is unwilling to go to the palace to pay homage to the Yuan Emperor's concubine, it is up to her to persuade her personally.
He served by the prince's side when he was a child, and the prince's business was his business.
Since it is his own business, he has to do it better.
Chen Fang didn't listen to Xiao Anzi to continue, waved his hand, and said a word to the maid who was waiting beside him.
"Send Grandpa An out!"
What the prince meant, did he not want to listen to him continue, and planned to go his own way and go to the banquet of the imperial concubine tomorrow by himself?
Since the prince has ordered the palace maid to send him out, if he continues to stay in the palace, he will be a little ignorant.
Xiao Anzi hung his head, his face was not dead, a trace of loneliness crossed his eyes, and the hand curled up under his sleeves slowly loosened.
Since he has been persuaded and persuaded, the prince can't listen to the persuasion now, what else can he do?
Looking at the back of Xiao Anzi leaving, Chen Fang moved his mouth, he wanted to call Xiao Anzi and leave him behind.
But he is the crown prince of the Great Chen Dynasty.
If you say it, how can you take it back if you want to, like ordinary people?
He didn't want Yuan Jun to go to the palace because she knew that Yuan Jun didn't like the palace very much.
The people and things in the palace will make Yuan Jun feel disgusted.
And Yuanjun doesn't like to socialize, so he should go to the palace alone to pay homage to his birthday!
……
Xiao Anzi just left the East Palace and was about to go to Jingren Palace to see Emperor Yuan's concubine.
Mama Zhang, who was waiting beside the Yuan Emperor's concubine, took a step ahead of Xiao Anzi and went to the Yuan Emperor's concubine.
"Guifei Niangniang, there is news from the Prince's Mansion that the Crown Princess Niangniang is unwell, and the Crown Prince plans to come to you tomorrow to congratulate you on her birthday."
Emperor Yuan's concubine let out a soft "oh" and didn't seem to care.
It's just a small birthday banquet, and some people don't want to come, so even if it's okay, it's not a big deal.
It's just a good life to be a person, but he pretends to be sick, and uses this as a reason to be unwilling to enter the palace to pay her birthday, which is a bit excessive.
"Xie is unwell, don't want to enter the palace, forget it, the prince is unwell, you let people open the treasury, pick a few good old ginseng to go to the prince's mansion, and replenish his qi. Come here early tomorrow morning, but if you want to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty may ask about the Prince's homework. ”
Mama Zhang got the order and went down immediately.
A moment later, a palace maid outside the palace preached that the Pingning Township King had come.
Emperor Yuan's concubine was beside him, and there was nothing to do.
His Majesty was worried about the loneliness of the Yuan Emperor Guifei's knees, so he specially picked a few good ones from the children of the clan and put them next to the Yuan Huang Guifei.
This Pingning Xiangjun was raised by the side of Emperor Yuan's concubine since he was a child.
Although she only bears the title of a country king, in the palace, she is more respected and loved than a serious princess and county lord.
Because her adoptive mother is the concubine of the Yuan Emperor who favors the sixth palace.
Emperor Yuan's concubine has no heirs in this life, and she can achieve the position of the imperial concubine, which shows that it is not only how many people have been defeated before she climbed up, but the most important thing is that the Yuanhuang concubine has a place in His Majesty's heart.
Otherwise, Song Guifei, who gave birth to four sons, has been sitting in the position of the concubine for so many years, and the emperor has no intention of promoting her position.
It can be seen that in this palace, in addition to the heirs, it also depends on the emperor's heart, whether there is a person like you?
If the emperor doesn't have you, even if you give birth to ten sons, all of them will be angry, and in the end, they will only be one concubine or a concubine.
Pingning Xiangjun's biological mother is Mrs. Jinghai Hou.
Marquis Jinghai is the cousin of His Majesty today.
Emperor Yuan smiled and beckoned to Pingning Xiangjun who walked into the hall, and motioned for Pingning Xiangjun to sit beside her.
"Why did you think about it today? But Mama Han and Mama Cui's homework is done?"
Mama Han specializes in teaching Pingning Xiangjun's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Cui Mama is specially teaching the rules and etiquette of Pingning Township.
Emperor Yuan's concubine not only invited two grandmothers to teach Pingning Xiangjun, but also invited two teaching girls into the palace to teach Pingning Xiangjun poems and songs.
The two female gentlemen, one from the Liao family, a scholarly family in Jiangnan, are the talented daughters of the Liao family.
Another female gentleman was born in the Fang family of the Jiangnan clan and is a well-known talented woman in Jiangnan.
Emperor Yuan's concubine loved Pingning Xiangjun very much, and the clothes worn by Pingning Xiangjun were made by the Needlework Bureau in the palace and several famous tailors outside the palace.
"Niangniang, knowing that tomorrow is Niangniang's birthday, Pingning came here today to congratulate Niangniang on her birthday in advance. Pingning came over today, and also brought a self-embroidered purse, the pattern was drawn by Pingning himself, and every stitch and thread was embroidered by Pingning himself. ”
Pingning Xiangjun said, took out the purse he was carrying in his arms, and handed it directly to the Yuanhuang concubine in front of him without the hand of the Yuan Emperor Concubine who was serving her grandmother closely.
Emperor Yuan's concubine carefully looked at the purse handed over by Pingning Xiangjun in her hand.
The embroidery on it is the wealth of Yutang, looking at the pattern, there is a bit of a clumsy appearance, it should be painted by Pingning himself.
Looking at the stitches of the purse, there is a bit of disorder, and she should have embroidered it with stitches and threads.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the thing is valuable or not, the important thing is the heart of the person who sent it.
It is better to make it by yourself than to embroider a few stitches by yourself and hand it over to someone to do it for you.
Emperor Yuan's concubine admired the character of Pingning Xiangjun very much, and it was not in vain that she had hurt her for so many years.
Seeing the happy look on the face of the Yuan Emperor Guifei, looking at the purse, Pingning Xiangjun thought that the Yuan Emperor Guifei liked such a purse.
It doesn't look exquisite, and there is a bit of an ugly purse, so the imperial concubine will not dislike her if she treats her well.
She came today to ask for something.
"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, tomorrow is your birthday, Ping Ning wants to sit next to the brother of the Wang family. Ping Ning has been in the palace for three months, and he hasn't seen his brother in the Wang family for three months, and he thinks about him. ”
The elder brother of the Wang family in the mouth of Pingning Township Jun is Wang Ping, the eldest son of the Wang Shang family of Dali Temple.
That child, Emperor Yuan's concubine has also seen it, and he looks like a Zhou Zheng, and his temperament is calm and sophisticated, and he is also a good one.
She loved that kid too.
It's just that she can't give up her heart and soul to let someone like the Wang family marry her own heart.
Emperor Yuan's concubine pondered for a long time before she said.
"You are already old, and you are indeed old enough to talk about marriage, but the Wang family is not a good family."
"Wang Shang is just Dali Siqing, Mrs. Su of the Wang family, that is the daughter of a poor family, Mrs. Wang, although she was born in the Hou Mansion, but after all, she is old, if you marry into the Wang family, even if Mrs. Tai supports you, then Mrs. Wang will also grind you."
"And that Wang Ping is still the son of the royal family, and he will support the Wang family in the future, if you really marry in the past, I am afraid that in the days to come, I am afraid that you will not be able to survive alone."
Emperor Yuan's concubine couldn't bear to see Pingning Xiangjun marry into the Wang family like this and suffer from that hardship.
Pingning Xiangjun didn't listen to what Emperor Yuan's concubine said, tomorrow's birthday banquet, she must sit next to the Wang family's brother.
The imperial concubine didn't want her to marry into the Wang family, she wanted to marry into the Wang family.
……
Qi Wangfu.
"Can you see with your own eyes that the crown princess opened the letter sent by this king?"
King Qi leaned on the soft couch behind him, and a kind of guard dressed in black knelt on the ground.
"Back to the prince's words, although the princess Niangniang brought the letter to the inner room to open, but we bought off the girl who served in the princess's inner room, and several of them saw the princess Niangniang open the letter with their own eyes."
The black-clothed guard in the lead replied to King Qi's words.
This answer finally reassured him.
Ah Jun still has him in his heart.
I'm always willing to listen to him.
The crown princess did not appear at the birthday banquet of the imperial concubine, but he wanted to see, Chen Fang, how to explain to His Majesty and the Yuan Emperor concubine?
Although he used Ah Jun in this way, he had to do it as a last resort for the sake of his future plans.
……
March 10.
As soon as the day dawned, the palace people of all sizes who were waiting in Jingren Palace began to get busy.
His Majesty loves the Yuan Emperor Guifei, and this year's Yuan Huang Guifei's 40th birthday banquet was not held in Jingren Palace, but moved to the Hanmei Water Pavilion in Changyin Garden.
Changyin Garden is a garden at the back of the Imperial Garden.
This garden was originally used for the Queen Mother to listen to the play.
Later, the queen mother was getting older and her ears were not very good, and this garden was abandoned.
Later, His Majesty moved in again, and after renovation, in the garden, several water pavilion palaces were built......
The 40th birthday banquet of the Yuan Emperor's concubine was held in the Hanmei Water Pavilion.
Hanmei Water Pavilion, in winter, it is best to see the snow scene.
The red plum, against the backdrop of the snow, is a great color in the world.
