At the end of June, Wei Lanqi returned to the palace to visit her home.

The county lord of Duanmin also left the palace with him, and made an appointment with Wei Yining in the county lord's mansion.

The three of them missed each other for months, and they said cold and warm to each other when they met, and talked about each other's recent situation.

Wei Lanqi has been worried about Wei Yining's safety, and asked, "Has anyone come to you for trouble these days?" ”

Wei Yining shook his head and said, "No, it's quite peaceful." ”

Wei Lanqi was a little strange when she heard this, and said, "Why are those people so calm? It stands to reason that you will have to trouble you no matter how much you leave the palace. ”

Wei Yining smiled and said, "Maybe they are all planning a bigger conspiracy, I'm afraid that I can't help it." ”

She didn't tell Wei Lanqi and Duanmin County Lord that Zhong Ye had been keeping vigil for their house these days, and if these two people knew, they would definitely say something cool to make fun of her.

"Then you must be careful, don't let your guard down, although you are the most careful and cautious one on weekdays, but as the saying goes, there are thousands of years of thieves and no thousand years of thieves, not to mention that two fists are hard to beat four hands, so many people are eyeing you behind the scenes, and you have no helpers around you." The county lord of Duanmin even knows that he cares about people.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Wei Yining nodded, and asked again: "It's still peaceful in the palace recently, right?" ”

"Ahem, it's not a big deal to say it's nothing." Wei Lanqi sighed and said: "A few days ago, the emperor and the queen went to the southern suburbs to pray for rain, and Concubine Zeng Li's chief eunuch Bai Shun ran out of the palace to tell the emperor that Concubine Zeng Li was unwell, and after the emperor finished the sacrifice, he left the queen and went back to the palace first. The queen didn't do anything, but the second prince was angry because of this, and found an opportunity to beat Bai Shun, and said a lot of disrespectful things to Concubine Zeng Li. ”

"The emperor was naturally angry when he heard this, and severely reprimanded the second prince." Lord Duanmin took over and continued: "It's just that the second prince doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and he actually collided with the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered someone to beat him with twenty boards. Although these twenty boards are not heavy, they have lost their dignity in the end, and they have lost the emperor's favor. The emperor blamed the queen again, saying that she had no way to teach her son. ”

"The temper of the second prince is indeed a little anxious." Wei Yining was helpless about this: "As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, the second prince is born with a quick temper, and when he encounters such a thing, he will naturally ignite the fire." ”

"Yining, when you left the palace, you told the queen to be careful of the third prince, and later I woke up the queen and asked the second prince and the people around him, only to know that the matter was provoked by the third prince."

"This is to be expected, it would be strange if the third prince did nothing." Wei Yining said.

"Yining, then what do you say we should do with this third prince?" The county lord of Duanmin asked Wei Yining in distress.

"The third prince is scheming, don't look at his age, he is ruthless." Wei Yining saw it from his affair with Sun Mingming: "He was raised by Xu Guifei, but he has no mother-son relationship with Xu Guifei." He is good at stirring up relationships, and with a scheming person like the second prince, he will be used by him sooner or later. The queen just called him over to reprimand him, but it was useless, she could only increase her hatred, and the best way was to borrow a knife to kill people and let Xu Guifei clean him up. ”

"Xu Guifei? Xu Guifei is still grounded now, she is not the previous Xu Guifei, Zeng Lifei is the favorite of the pepper room, she has become a yellow flower of tomorrow. Lord Duanmin shook his head and said, "Although she still retains the name of the concubine, the people in the palace have long since stopped taking her seriously." What's more, Ding Kun is also dead, she is equivalent to a she-wolf with her sharp teeth removed, and no one is afraid. ”

"You can't say that," Wei Yining disagreed with Lord Duanmin's opinion: "I think Xu Guifei is not simple, although she is grounded, but the emperor does not have any grudge against her. Compared to the queen, she is already considered good. ”

"Yining, I think it's true when you say that. Since Concubine Zeng Li was canonized, the queen mother has been the hardest hit. Although Xu Guifei has fallen out of favor, except for the emperor who doesn't go to her often, nothing else seems to have changed. Wei Lanqi also realized it: "Xu Zhixi's death is an exception, if she wasn't too stupid to listen to Xu Guifei, she wouldn't have ended up like this." ”

"Of course, this is also my preliminary judgment, and it is also possible that Concubine Zeng Li has not had time to attack her, after all, the queen is Concubine Zeng Li's biggest enemy." Wei Yining was very cautious, and never said much about things that he was not sure about: "But no matter what, the sooner Concubine Zeng Li and Concubine Xu Guifei know the true face of the third prince, the better it will be for the queen." ”

"Okay, we'll tell the queen mother when we go back." Lord Duanmin said: "It's just that we are really not used to you coming out of the palace. ”

"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed," Wei Yining said gently: "What's more, you will all come out of the palace in a year or two." ”

"Hopefully we'll be together by then." Wei Lanqi smiled and said, "What's more, the county lord is very likely to become your sister-in-law!" ”

Lord Duanmin glared at her a little shyly, but soon he couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Actually, I've always wanted to check outside the palace these days," Wei Yining said to the two of them: "I just haven't figured out where to start, some things involve the whole body, and you need to be cautious." ”

"By the way, Sister Xiao always mentions you." Lord Duanmin remembered that when they were about to leave the palace, Xiao Qingqing came to them and asked them to bring some gifts for Wei Yining for him.

"The prince is sick these days, and Sister Xiao has to take care of him every day, which is also very hard." Wei Lanqi said.

The prince's body is weak, and he has been like this since he was a child, which is actually very worrying.

"When you go back to the palace, I'll say hello to Sister Xiao!" Wei Yining said: "Tell her not to worry about me, and let her take care of herself." ”

Because the county lord of Duanmin insisted, Wei Yining had to stay in the county lord's mansion for one night.

During this period, he talked about Lu Yinshu, who recently returned to Beijing.

Wei Yining already knew about Lu Yinshu's return to Beijing, and after Lu Yinshu went to visit Shao's house that day, Wei Aluan came to Mrs. Zhu the next day to tell her about it.

She was very worried about Wei Yining, because Lu Yinshu was obviously not a good person.

Of course, Wei Lanqi and Duanmin County Lord still remembered Lu Yinshu, after all, the original incident was very unpleasant.

"Lu Yinshu really has some means here." Wei Lanqi said: "I think she left the capital so embarrassed at the beginning, and now she can be regarded as returning home." ”

"That slut, if she still dares to be unfavorable to Yining, I will still whip her to see who can do anything to me." Duanmin County Lord said angrily: K knew that this was the case, and he should have beaten her to death in the first place! ”

"Don't be impulsive, it's not as good as it was now," Wei Yining hurriedly said: "If you can't help but do something to her for a while, they just use it to make a fuss, and in the end, it is the queen and the prince who will be affected." ”
