Chapter 16: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (1)

Lan Yi knew that this trick was not enough in front of these people in the palace, but she herself wanted people to see it, so as to show her attitude, so she took on at this moment: "Gonggong Chen, please ask the noble concubine for a show, if the courtier's body really can't hold up, how should the palace banquet be on Chinese New Year's Eve." It's really a stupid courtier, and she has lost her mother's love. ”

Chen Gonggong said: "Miss, rest assured, our family will bring the situation into Changfu Palace, and if the concubine has an arrangement, she will naturally be informed of Pei's Mansion." ”

After that, the other party didn't say anything more, and left directly, Lan Yi hurriedly asked Ning Fu to send it out respectfully, Pei Gui wanted to leave Father-in-law Chen to drink tea, and Father-in-law Chen couldn't say that he was not idle, judging from his look, he was not very happy about this trip.

When the group left lively, Pei Gui frowned and rubbed his hands, and asked Aunt Bai beside him: "Our Pei Mansion won't offend Gonggong Chen anywhere, right?" Is there less in the money bag? ”

Aunt Bai also frowned, "Prepare these things, the concubine will not be stingy." The concubine saw that he was in a hurry to leave after going to the eldest girl, maybe the eldest girl said the wrong thing again? ”

Pei Gui wanted to go to the Fenghe Courtyard to ask, but as soon as he raised his foot, the little guy here came over, saying that Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War had something to discuss, and asked Pei Gui to rush to the mansion, Pei Gui had to temporarily put down the trivial matters in the inner house and hurriedly went out of the house to work.

And Lan Yi, who was taken by Aunt Bai's eye medicine, didn't realize it, he only knew that the few words he had just said to Gonggong Chen, his back was full of cold sweat, under his kind face, he didn't know how much shrewd calculation, and his eyes were very sharp, as if he could see Lan Yi's disguise at a glance, even if Lan Yi was ready, he was still a little afraid.

Ning Fu directly softened her legs, leaned on Lan Yi's soft side and asked, "Miss, let's do this, we won't directly offend the concubine, right?" ”

Lan Yi tried to calm his mind, "That's it." ”

"Will it affect the old man and the entire Pei Mansion?"

Lan Yi shook his head and said softly: "I'm just telling the noble concubine in disguise, I don't want to marry the second prince as a side concubine, the lady has been in the deep palace for so long, she will definitely understand what I mean when she hears it, if she is willing to give me a step, then directly let people say, Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet is not allowed to attend, this matter is over, from now on I will marry and mourn, and no longer have anything to do with the royal family." ”

Ning Fu bit her lip, "But what if she just refuses to let Miss go?" ”

"That won't drag down Pei Fu, after all, everything hasn't been put on the surface, and she hasn't lost face. Picking a side concubine is a lifelong event for a person like me, but for a concubine, it's no different from picking things at the market. The status of me and her is too different, she can pinch me at will, and naturally knows that there is no need to get along with the entire Pei family for the sake of a side concubine. ”

Speaking of this, Lan Yi was a little lucky, "Fortunately, Daddy has a foothold in the court with his own ability, that is, in the future, the King of Qi will win the world, and he also needs a loyal person like Daddy to do things for him. ”

As Lan Yi said, Concubine Ying in the deep palace understood the meaning of her words when she heard the words sent back by Gonggong Chen.

Concubine Ying's hand gently slid over the fine silk laid out on the table, and now that it is the end of the year, officials from all over the country are offering the best things in the local area, Changfu Palace is the closest place to the Sacred Heart, such good things, the servants in the palace are commonplace.

"Keep it, tidy it up, don't wrinkle it when you pick it out and use it." After a leisurely instruction, she turned to look at the person who reported it, "This little girl is not sick but pretending to be sick, and she is pretending to be so obvious, it is obvious that she doesn't want to be the concubine of King Qi." ”

Gonggong Chen bowed his body, the expression on his face was completely different from when he faced Pei Fuzhong, and the smile piled up in the corners of his eyes was almost squeezed out, "Back to the master, the slave thinks that this is what Miss Pei meant, the imperial doctor said very clearly, her pulse is very good, and there should be no pain at all." ”

Qinghe served tea on the side, and when he heard this, he said: "This Pei girl really doesn't know how to lift, and the master misses a few words to like her, so she really takes herself seriously." The master can let her get up, and he can also make her fall hard, if the master wants her to ruin the rest of her life, it is just a matter of one sentence. ”

"What are you doing with such a heavy anger, following this palace for so many years, things have become more and more neat, and your mouth has become more and more unforgiving." Ying Guifei nodded with a smile, Qinghe had a deep relationship with her master and servant, and naturally knew that this was not really to blame, but she hurriedly confessed, saying that she was talking fast.

Concubine Ying said again: "Actually, this girl is smart, she knows that this palace will not deal with her and Pei Fu in this matter, the emperor values Pei Gui very much, and he will inevitably be reused in the future, how can this palace not get along with the emperor." ”

Chen Gonggong asked tentatively: "Does the master mean that she will not enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

"Enter, of course you have to enter, if the timing is right, the palace will still let the emperor open his mouth to settle the matter."

"......"

Concubine Ying smiled leisurely, Lan Yi's careful thoughts fell on her eyes, it was really no different from meeting an interesting ant, "It's because this palace won't have trouble with the emperor that I want Changyuan to marry this child." This child has brains, it's not a bad thing, but marriage matters can't be decided by her, little girl, do you think there is really a talented and beautiful woman who makes a private lifelong drama? When she really marries Changyuan, for her own good, she will also think of supporting Changyuan, there is a lack of such people in the Qi Palace, and this palace is not talking nonsense. ”

Gonggong Chen sighed in his heart that this Miss Pei is really blessed, and she is still so liked by the master when she makes trouble, but Concubine Ying's next sentence made his hair stand upside down.

"Let her toss, the palace comes according to her own ideas, it is useless for her to toss, and when she enters the Qi Palace, it will be easier to handle, if she is still unwilling to be obedient at that time, the disobedient people in this palace, what will happen to her in the end, she will be what will happen."

In the deep palace, it is said that there are 3,000 beauties, but once it is over, there are only a few dozen or even a few people left who can spend their old age in peace, and in the oblivion of the king, those young or flamboyant or beautiful lives are dissipated in the endless red wall.

And in today's Xingjia years, what Guang Chen's father-in-law has seen, those women who offended Ying Guifei have almost no good results - sometimes it is the palace maids and eunuchs who abuse them openly and secretly in order to please Ying Guifei, sometimes it is the other concubines who want to show their loyalty to Ying Guifei and voluntarily make a knife to stab them, and sometimes Ying Guifei personally takes action, then the fate of these people will be even more miserable than the first two situations.

This Pei Lan means ...... I'm afraid I can only be obedient for the rest of my life.

"The slave knows how to pass the word." Gonggong Chen replied with low eyebrows.

Concubine Ying nodded, this matter is very small to her, saying such a few words, it is already to give Pei Lan face, and at this time, she will directly talk about other things, "The little girl of the Mu family has already mentioned two sentences to the emperor, when Chinese New Year's Eve the banquet, let Chang Ze have more contact, if it is appropriate, he will be the concubine, he runs out every day, he should also learn from his second brother, and it is ...... to take care of his heart."

The matter of the fourth prince's choice of the main concubine is obviously much more important than the second prince's choice of a side concubine, and Concubine Ying is not finished talking about it, until Gonggong Chen waits in front of him, retreats and rests for a while, and when the word is passed to Pei's mansion, it is already the next day.

At that time, Lan Yi was reading quietly on the couch, and after listening to the words of the little eunuch in the palace, she only felt that something in her heart was rapidly shattering, but her face was still strong, with a smile, and asked Ning Fu to take the broken silver and stuff it in her purse.

"Thank you for coming to talk to the little father-in-law, this kind of heart, please have a cup of tea."

The little eunuch is very fond of doing this kind of errand, and after weighing the silver, it is not too little, and he squinted his eyes with a smile, and he didn't mind saying a few more words, as if he took the silver as a matter of course, "In short, please prepare for the eldest lady, the concubine is really very important to the young lady, Chen Gonggong said, the eldest lady is smart enough, if she is more obedient and sensible, she will definitely be more liked by the concubine." ”

The latter sentence is actually Chen's own emotion, the original words are "Miss Pei is smart, if she is more obedient, there should be no big problem in the second half of her life", but the little eunuch is not easy to say directly, only half of it reveals the attitude of Concubine Ying, which makes Lan Yi's heart sink.

Seeing off the little eunuch, Lan Yi's face was full of undisguised despair, she took Ning Fu's hand and asked, "What do you say I should do?" Concubine Ying said that kind of thing, naturally she wanted me to honestly seek a future for the second prince, but should I be like this in my life? Can I live with some dignity? ”

Natural dignity and backbone, when this kind of thing comes out of a woman's mouth, many people will think that it is wishful thinking, Lan Yi knows very well in her heart, even if she does not marry the prince and marry someone else, she can only work hard to support her husband and make life better, who called the woman's family has been treated so harshly for thousands of years.

But others are forced to do one thing, which is different from choosing to do one thing by herself, and now that she has not been married, Ying Guifei can directly force her on this road no matter what she thinks, and in the future, she can only be pinched and flattened, and even life and death cannot be in her own hands.

Those days are passing, even if they are rich and well-fed, what's the point?!

In the final analysis, Concubine Ying is indeed in a high position and can be regarded as a woman with great vision, but she has been favored for many years, and she has long forgotten the panic when she walked those roads, and how to treat people whose identity is inferior to her as "people".

Ning Fu was pitiful, "Miss, or let's just leave, maybe the Qi Palace's Mansion is not as bad as you think, how many people want to enter, but they can't get in, right?" ”
