Chapter 796: Cheeky and pretending to be a good person
"What is Old Madam Fang doing here to find this palace?"
Yun Guifei guessed that Old Madam Fang might have come for Fang Qingqing's business.
Although she wanted Mu Yunzhao to accept Fang Qingqing, once Old Madam Fang took the initiative to mention this matter, it was inexplicably annoying.
Mu Yunzhao felt the same as Concubine Yun, and said helplessly: "Why is it unfortunate that Erchen is in a hurry to go anywhere today?" I met Concubine Li in the imperial study before, and at this time, I met Mrs. Fang again in the concubine's house. Mother, or the son-in-law should not leave first, so as not to make her embarrassed, so the son-in-law should hide first. ”
Yun Guifei nodded and said, "I also have this intention, you can hide first, and you can also listen to what this old lady means." ”
Mu Yunzhao hid in the inner hall, and he could hear the sound from this side when he stood at the door.
After Mrs. Fang came in, she saluted Yun Guifei very respectfully, she was not a few years older than Yun Guifei, but she looked old like Yun Guifei's old lady.
Yun Guifei saw that her eyelids were swollen and her expression was sad, and she looked like she had cried a few times.
"Old Madam Fang, what is the matter with you coming to this palace?"
Yun Guifei asked straight to the point.
Old Madam Fang tried her best to hide the sadness on her face, and said with a smile to Concubine Yun: "Concubine Niangniang, it is really presumptuous for the old body to bother you today, and I hope that Niangniang will forgive her sins." The old body came to beg the mother not for others, but for the old body's unsuccessful daughter. ”
When Concubine Yun heard this, she deliberately pretended to be confused and asked, "Aren't your daughters all married?" Why did you still find the head of the main palace? ”
Old Madam Fang understood that Concubine Yun was pretending to be confused, but she was a high-ranking concubine, even if she was pretending to be confused, she had to endure it.
"The concubine doesn't know, the little girl was married for a few months, and her husband suddenly fell seriously ill, and the little girl has been back to her parents' house for a while."
After Old Madam Fang finished speaking, the sadness on her face unconsciously worsened.
After hearing this, Concubine Yun said with pity: "It's a pity, Miss Fang's life is also bitter enough." ”
After Yun Guifei finished speaking, she didn't say any more, and Old Man Fang could see that she just wanted to let herself tell Fang Qingqing and Mu Yunzhao's private relationship, which was obviously to embarrass herself.
But for the sake of her daughter's happiness and stability in the rest of her life, Mrs. Fang also let go.
"Don't hide it from the concubine Niangniang, the little girl she has always admired His Royal Highness the Prince, no, some time ago, His Royal Highness the King of Rijie invited His Royal Highness the Prince, and the little girl begged the Princess, wanting to secretly look at His Royal Highness the Prince. How do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drunk, and when he saw the little girl, he ...... The wood is already in the boat, and the little girl already has the flesh and blood of His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
Old Madam Fang put out her old face and said what she wanted to say, and she was immediately relieved.
Concubine Yun Guifei smiled secretly in her heart, she really couldn't wait, this was for fear that the prince would not accept Fang Qingqing, and if Fang Qingqing's belly got bigger and bigger, the people of their Fang family would be lost.
"It turns out that Old Madam Fang came here today for this matter."
Yun Guifei's expression was surprisingly calm.
Old Madam Fang knew that Concubine Yun Guifei was asking knowingly, and it was not surprising to see her expression so calm, and her attitude towards her was even more respectful.
"The old body is bothering Niangniang for this matter, and I also asked Niangniang to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of the royal bloodline, so let him give Qingqing and the child a name! Even if it's just a concubine, Qingqing is content. ”
Concubine Yun Guifei said lightly: "Since such a thing happened, Miss Fang still has the flesh and blood of the prince, how can she only give her the title of a concubine?" According to the palace, it is better to give her the title of a side concubine. ”
"What? Do you want to give the title of the little lady's concubine? ”
Old Madam Fang and Fang Qingqing had both fantasized like this, but no one dared to be sure that Mu Yunzhao would give Fang Qingqing such a high name.
But Old Madam Fang was disappointed after the surprise, because this was what Concubine Yun Guifei said, not what Mu Yunzhao meant.
And according to Mu Yunzhao's attitude towards Fang Qingqing, it would be good if he was willing to accept Fang Qingqing, how could he give the title of side concubine?
Seeing the surprise on Old Madam Fang's face, Concubine Yun said again, "Old Madam Fang doesn't believe that this palace can convince the prince?" ”
Old Madam Fang was still not sure if Concubine Yun was talking big, so Mu Yunzhao couldn't help but roll her eyes at his old lady.
He originally wanted to hear whether Old Man Fang and Fang Qingqing would make any unreasonable demands, but he didn't expect that he, the old lady who wanted to be in the limelight in everything, would take credit for herself and pretend to be a good person.
Obviously, he agreed to the emperor's suggestion, so that Fang Qingqing could be a side concubine.
Mu Yunzhao was really helpless and speechless, so he could only be silent for the sake of Yun Guifei being his mother.
Old Madam Fang asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a stubborn temper, is the noble concubine really sure to convince him?" ”
Yun Guifei raised her delicate chin arrogantly, and said affirmatively: "This palace is the prince's mother-in-law, and he naturally listens to the words of this palace!" Go back and wait, this palace will definitely persuade him to let him take Miss Fang as his side concubine. ”
Old Madam Fang saw that Concubine Yun Guifei could say so surely, so she temporarily believed her words, anyway, if Concubine Yun Guifei couldn't persuade Mu Yunzhao, then Mrs. Fang would come forward to find the emperor.
"The old generation of the little girl and the Fang family's Xie Guifei Niangniang!"
Old Madam Fang knelt down and kowtowed.
Yun Guifei didn't let her either, who let this be caused by her own daughter's lack of self-respect?
After Old Madam Fang left, Mu Yunzhao immediately walked out of the inner hall.
As soon as Concubine Yun Guifei saw him, she remembered her boasting in front of Old Madam Fang, and said a little embarrassedly: "Zhao'er, what the concubine said to the old lady just now is all for you to do well, in case you change your mind and don't want to accept her as a side concubine, then the Fang family can blame the concubine, lest they be dissatisfied with you." ”
Yun Guifei's remarks really made Mu Yunzhao cry and laugh.
Since he promised the emperor to accept Fang Qingqing as a side concubine, how could he regret it?
Mu Yunzhao said calmly: "It's still the concubine who is thoughtful, and the son understands it." The minister went back first, Guangrui she was still a little happy at this time, and now that she has encountered such a thing, the son still has to be more lenient with her heart. ”
Yun Guifei said with a little dissatisfaction: "If you want to sit as the crown princess, you have to measure it." You are the crown prince, the future emperor, and sooner or later there will be three palaces and six courts. If she is angry because of Fang Qingqing, how will she be a queen in the future? ”
Mu Yunzhao can endure everything else, but he can't bear Yun Guifei, who has always shown her dissatisfaction with Lu Qiu Guangrui recently.
However, Mu Yunzhao didn't bother to explain to Yun Guifei now, and only said: "There is no one more suitable to be a queen than Guangrui." Erchen retired first! ”
As soon as Mu Yunzhao left, Yun Guifei said to herself with a little jealousy: "This kid is really dazzled by that little hoof!" I don't believe that there is no one more suitable to be a queen except her! ”
Mu Yunzhao was afraid that Lu Qiu Guangrui would be annoyed, so he didn't tell her about Old Madam Fang coming to ask Concubine Yun.
In order to make her feel better, after Mu Yunzhao returned to the East Palace, he ordered someone to clean up the side hall farthest away from his dormitory.
It would take at least a quarter of an hour to walk from there to his dormitory, and he also instructed the people in the East Palace to keep an eye on the people there after someone moved in to the side hall, so as not to let her get close to the crown princess and himself.
The next people all know that the East Palace is going to add people, but they don't know who will be so unlucky?
Since they can settle down in the East Palace, they are not treated by the prince like this.
Mu Yunzhao's actions relieved Lu Qiu Guangrui a lot, and the relationship between the couple seemed to be one step closer.
After Old Madam Fang came back from the palace, she couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Fang and Fang Qingqing about Concubine Yun's guarantee to her.
Fang Qingqing felt incredible when she heard it, and she couldn't believe that she could become Mu Yunzhao's side concubine.
But Mrs. Fang said as a matter of course: "With Qingqing's background and appearance, even if she is the crown princess, she is completely qualified." If it weren't for what happened before, how could Qingqing be a side concubine? ”
Mrs. Fang's words gave Fang Qingqing great confidence, but soon Mrs. Fang poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Although you have the qualifications to be a concubine, now you only have the possibility of being a concubine, and you don't feel wronged. You know best what you've done yourself! If Concubine Yun can persuade the crown prince, it is best, and if the prince only agrees to let you be a concubine, you have to be patient. When you give birth to a child safely, the prince will naturally lift you up. ”
Even if Fang Qingqing was unwilling in her heart, she could only suppress all her unwillingness in her heart, and said patiently: "Yes, my daughter knows that the current situation is the best result." ”
The family waited anxiously at home for news from Yun Guifei, not knowing how many days it would take to put their hearts down.
I didn't know that I received the holy decree in the afternoon of the next day, and the emperor named Fang Qingqing as the prince's side concubine, and she was hired three days later, and then she directly accepted Fang Qingqing into the palace.
This is a great joy for the other party's family, and Fang Qingqing is even more happy.
Old Madam Fang immediately ordered someone to make a wedding dress for Fang Qingqing and prepare a dowry, even if she knew that she was not treated by the prince, she couldn't lose her dignity.
King Jie also quickly knew that Mu Yunzhao actually wanted to accept Fang Qingqing as a side concubine.
It's just that he doesn't know if this is Mu Yunzhao's willingness, or if he was forced by the emperor after knowing about it.
Anyway, Fang Qingqing was very satisfied with being the crown prince's concubine, and he was looking forward to Mu Yunzhao's future life with Fang Qingqing by his side.
Wan Lin and the others arrived in the capital today, they first escorted Ge Pu and his wife to Dali Temple, and before they entered the palace, they heard that the prince wanted to accept the gossip of the side concubine.
Xing Zhida discussed with Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo with great interest: "Two adults, you said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to accept a side concubine,?" Are we officials also going to send some congratulatory gifts to Donggong and Mrs. Fang? ”
Wan Lin asked with a look of disbelief: "How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accept Miss Fang as a side concubine?" Isn't Miss Fang married? Besides, hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always disliked her? ”
Xing Zhida lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Miss Fang's father-in-law has already died of illness. I heard that she was pregnant with His Royal Highness the Prince, so the prince accepted her as a side concubine. ”
"That's what happened!"
All this sounded reasonable, but Wan Lin always felt that there was some unknown conspiracy involved, especially the death of Fang Qingqing, he had heard Fu Xiaojiu talk about a rumor.
