Chapter 40: Lighting the Red Candle (1)
"W-this is going to work?"
"I've inquired about Mrs. Ruan, snobbish and strong, that girl from the Mu family is not a small and low character, she definitely doesn't like it, you are weak in front of her, she thinks you are so good, and you won't let the Mu family girl dominate in her grandson's mansion, she must be willing to help you talk in front of Concubine Ying, whether it can be done or not, it depends on this move." Aunt Bai is very determined.
Pei Miaoqing lowered her head and said very happily: "No matter how King Yu is, he is not as powerful as King Qi, why don't you go to King Qi's Mansion to be a concubine, after all, you are always asking for people." And my aunt thinks too simply, Mrs. Ruan's favorite must be her grandson, I just please her, she goes to say a few words in front of Concubine Ying, if she doesn't agree, she won't fight for me. ”
"Are you a fool, the side concubine and the concubine, it looks like there is only one order apart, but you don't know how big the gap is? Don't look at the possibility that King Qi may inherit that position, you just rush to go, the more this is the case, the more Concubine Ying regards him as her life, and death will not make chaos in the Qi Palace, if you go there, it will definitely be more difficult than going to the Yu Palace. On the contrary, it is King Yu, the burden on the youngest son is not so heavy, and he already has a reputation for being free and easy, so it is nothing to add two more people to the house. ”
Aunt Bai has obviously been thinking about these things for a while, so at this moment, it is the first thing to say, Pei Miaoqing's consideration, she thinks it makes sense, and she leaned a little closer, and whispered: "It's really not good, you ask Mrs. Ruan to help you set up a line, see King Yu, if King Yu sees you, the two of them go together and say, Concubine Ying has no disagree, it just so happens that Concubine Ying also fell in love with Pei Lanyi's little slut before, and now she can't Pei Lanyi, get you, maybe she is willing." ”
Pei Miaoqing was also a little nervous, pinched a strand of hair and thought for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, aunt wait for my good news, once I can marry into the Yuwang Mansion, I will use the reason of marriage to let Daddy let you out." ”
Aunt Bai knew too well the truth that if she was not ruthless in her heart, she would not be able to stand firmly, so she was silent for a while, and finally said ruthlessly: "When you meet King Yu, don't be too solemn, men don't like women who are holding it, since you have made up your mind to climb the wealth of the palace, it is better to let it go." ”
Pei Miaoqing listened to it, her face turned red, in the end, she was a little embarrassed about the girl's house who had not left the pavilion, but her mother's words, like a curse, left a deep imprint on her heart, and a mosquito-like sentence of "Auntie, don't say it again in the future" into her ears, Aunt Bai knew that the girl looked shy, but she actually remembered it.
The two of them couldn't see each other for too long, and after setting the way for the future, Pei Miaoqing hurriedly returned to the banquet, and after a while, the banquet should be dispersed.
These words between her and Aunt Bai, when no one was around, no one really knew, Lan Yi asked someone to inquire, but nothing was inquired, and in the end she could only let Aunt Li give an order again, let the guards change, and said that from today on, no one can visit Aunt Bai, including Miss Gongzi in the house.
This incident has brought some hidden worries to Lan Yi, in the end, she still underestimated some of the power and hearts that Aunt Bai has managed for many years and earned. The candle was lit at night, the lampshade was gently buckled, and the warm light spread into all corners, when Ning Fu came in, Lan Yi was holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he was a little stunned, not knowing where his thoughts had already flown to.
Ning Fu walked over, poured a cup of tea, and whispered, "What does Miss think?" ”
Lan Yi came back to his senses, put down the book in his hand, took the teacup and took a sip, "I was thinking about Aunt Bai, I don't know what she and Miaoqing are going to make trouble about, thinking about it, I thought of His Royal Highness King Gong." ”
Ning Fu counted with her fingers, and read: "In seven days, Miss will get married, thinking about His Royal Highness, it is also human nature." ”
Lan Yi shook his head, "I was thinking, before I got married, he did me such a big favor, for the sake of my mother, I also want to thank him, if he really thinks of the girl named Yun Guiwu in his heart, I want to help him bring people in." ”
Ning Fu was very anxious, and said: "How can Miss be so good, although the slave maid also praised His Royal Highness King Gong before, but that and the one surnamed Yun are two different things, which prince's mansion will accommodate a woman from a green building, it's ridiculous to say it, everyone wants to laugh at you." ”
Lan Yi smiled, "If you really come to this point, of course you have to help Yun Guiwu change her identity, don't worry, after a few things, I think His Royal Highness King Gong's temper is very good, even if I can't enter the other party's heart, I and him, we will definitely be able to respect each other like guests, have a decent wife, and have a delicate concubine, I think if he is an understanding person, he will give me the dignity he deserves, and live a life like this, which is also what I beg, who wants to always fight in the inner house like this." ”
"It's annoying, it's annoying to fight back and forth, and those people are so shrewd that they always look like slaves are stupid." Ning Fu is the easiest person to be persuaded by Lan Yi, and she said it well, and accepted it at once, "It's okay, this Yunguiwu has such a poor background, even if she really wants to make waves in the Prince's Mansion, the queen will not allow it, it's a big fuss, Miss is always the one who takes advantage, as long as we don't suffer." ”
Lan Yi nodded, "Actually, the external troubles of Prince Gong's Mansion are much more serious than the internal troubles, but now I can't touch those people in the palace, so it's not easy to judge directly, so let's wait and see in the future." But today I was thinking about Aunt Bai, I remembered the words she said before my father came out, and I felt that she was not lying, maybe my brother really didn't kill her. ”
Ning Fu said: "Who knows, maybe at that time, she wanted to get away with it, so she didn't dare to admit it." ”
Lan Yi carefully analyzed, "Just like Li Xing also said, he can't die when he drinks tea, so he didn't say much, if there is really a fate, then the fate is too much for Aunt Bai, she wants my mother to die, my mother really died because of tea, she doesn't like my brother, my brother fell into the water, and the reason is so ridiculous, just to squat there to watch the fish, the stone by the lake loosened, and fell in." ”
Ning Fu also hated Aunt Bai, but in this matter, she really couldn't see any clues, so she could only explain, "What if it's really just a coincidence?" Miss still don't be too anxious, they all say that the deceased is gone, these days in order to seek justice for Mrs., your eye sockets are all black and green, and you need a lot of fat powder to cover it, if you are boiled down for the little son's business, the slave and maid will be distressed to death. And didn't Mrs.'s affairs also surface because of a sip of tea, it can be seen that the affairs of this world, as long as you have a heart, there is nothing that you can't find out. ”
Lan Yi bowed, "What you said is that we must remember these details and pay attention to the bits and pieces of life, and I believe that one day, these so-called 'coincidences' will be solved." ”
In the next few days, Lan Yi only waited for marriage in the mansion with peace of mind, and from time to time there was news from Wei Changjue's side, and I heard that King Gong's mansion had been arranged quite luxuriously, and sure enough, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the queen mother was such a son, that is, she fought the entire Weiyang Palace, and she also wanted Wei Changjue's marriage to be decent and grand.
So some people regret it, thinking that even if they can't climb the vein of Ying Guifei Niangniang, it is good to climb up to the queen's mother, and in the future, Wei Changjue will be an idle prince, no matter how glorious and rich he is, he seems to have completely forgotten the previous avoidance of Wei Changjue, and he also completely forgot about the fall of the five princes.
Pei Miaoqing is obviously such a person, at this moment, she can't help but complain that Aunt Bai was too cautious before, and she can sweep out the Pei Mansion for a year by sweeping the palace casually, but she is afraid of it and misses the opportunity.
King Yu is her last hope, these days she always runs out, Aunt Bai's little furniture is gradually about to be emptied, fortunately, Mrs. Ruan really has a low vision because of her bad background, and she is already in such a position now, but she is still greedy for those windfalls, and Pei Miaoqing can really put down her body, and desperately belittle herself in front of Mrs. Ruan to elevate the Ruan family and the princess, compared to Mu Hesheng, Mrs. Ruan loves to get along with such a little girl.
Pei Miaoqing took the past events and said, saying that in the past, many princes married each other, and they were all accepted by the concubines and concubines, so that double happiness came to the door, even if the luck was not good, it could be improved, and Pei Miaoqing listened to what Aunt Bai said, put aside her face as a daughter, and bitterly complained about how she was devoted to King Yu, if she could serve the left and right, she would definitely respect her husband in this life, and she would serve her wholeheartedly under the knees of Mrs. Ruan.
Coaxed left and right, and finally coaxed Mrs. Ruan to agree to help Pei Miaoqing set up a line at that time, and find a chance to meet King Yu to relieve her lovesickness.
Now Pei Fu is Aunt Li's housekeeper, she has just started, and she still doesn't have the familiarity that Aunt Bai has tempered over the years, for Pei Miaoqing to run out for three days, she doesn't know how to restrain it in her eyes, thinking about waiting for Lan Yi's wedding, and then thinking about talking to Pei Miaoqing and admonishing and admonishing.
People in the capital stretched their necks, and finally ushered in the wedding of the third prince and the fourth prince. It is now the middle of spring, the peach blossoms in Pei's house are in full bloom, standing lightly on the branches, looking at a red cloud from afar, but it is like opening for the bride, Lan Yi is married along the way, it is full of scorching spring, everyone says that the eldest lady is blessed, such a beautiful scenery, it is really more beautiful than flowers.
On the day of the wedding, Lan Yi got up early, was surrounded by the bride and other people, dressed up slowly and methodically, and waited for the auspicious time to come.
Point the red lips, sweep the moth eyebrows, silk and silk, and wear a wedding dress. Lan Yi looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, a little stunned and a little excited, thinking that she was going to marry like this?
In the joyfully decorated palace, Wei Changjue was kneeling three times and bowing nine times in front of the queen, listening to the loud singing of the eunuch of the ceremony, and his heart was inexplicably excited.
