"It's nature." Ji Ruoping said, "A beauty like you deserves the favor of her husband." ”

Jin Yiyan was overjoyed, and picked up the tea cup in front of him, "That concubine replaces wine with tea, I will toast you first." ”

Ji Ruoping took a sip, put down the small porcelain cup, and said quietly: "But there is a sentence, I still have to mention you, they all say, 'It is difficult for a Qing official to break family affairs', I can say that you are good in front of the second emperor brother, but I can't force him to like you, you, you still have to figure out his mind more and please him more." ”

Jin Yiyan nodded again and again, and Ji Ruoping saw that she had been brought in, so she continued.

"And yourself, who was originally higher than many of the women present, but became a side concubine, when you see me, when you see Princess Gong and Princess Yu, you have to salute, you have to think about it, why did the second emperor brother like you in the past? Good looks and good temperament are one thing, and another is that you are already noble, and clinging to him is just icing on the cake. We women, what is the most taboo, the most taboo is to make men think that we are useless, isn't this reasonable? ”

Jin Yiyan was convinced, "Listening to what Princess Rui said, it's really better than reading for ten years, but I'm already married, how can I raise my identity?" It's not necessarily, go and think about being the princess of Qi, right? And His Highness doesn't come to my house often, and I don't know how to figure out his thoughts. I still have to be taught by Princess Rui. ”

Ji Ruoping smiled peacefully: "Why is Your Highness busy, don't you know at all?" Not necessarily. As for how to elevate your identity...... Princess Qi is my sister-in-law, and of course I will not instigate you to take her place. You just have to look at which step is the most noble to be a concubine. ”

Seeing Jin Yiyan's dazed face, Ji Ruoping shook his head and mentioned one more thing, "Why is it that the third emperor brother is obviously a son-in-law, but in the eyes of outsiders, the second emperor brother and the fourth emperor brother are more noble?" ”

Jin Yiyan suddenly, "You mean, be the emperor's favorite ......"

"Sincerely, Concubine Jin." Ji Ruoping waved his hand, "This kind of thing can't be said nonsense, I don't want to see the end of the hero and the twilight of the beauty, so I came to mention you a few words, if it causes trouble for His Royal Highness, it will be bad." ”

Jin Yiyan hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered: "Yes, the concubine is quick to talk for a while, please continue." ”

Ji Ruoping looked leisurely into the distance, where Wei Changyin was drinking and chatting with the Qing guests, "I, the husband, have never interfered in the affairs of others in my life, because of the favor of the queen mother, I have to get closer to Prince Gong's Mansion these days, but let the second emperor know that we are still out of other things." Now that the second emperor brother is the desire of the people, and it is the desire of the sacred heart, there is no reason for us to get along with the Qi Palace, right? ”

She looked at Jin Yiyan again, "So I will say a few more words to you today, also for the sake of the future, if you become a more beautiful person in the future, you can take care of our Ruiwang Mansion." ”

Jin Yiyan finally understood Ji Ruoping's intention, and her pride was aroused by her secret flattery, and she looked sympathetic, "It turns out that you also have a last resort." ”

Ji Ruoping frowned, "Now I'll tell you, you will naturally understand, to be honest, I went to Prince Gong's Mansion for a while, and I understood that Prince Gong's Mansion and King Qi's Mansion and King Yu's Mansion are really different, nothing is as good, and now the queen is terminally ill, to say something unpleasant, if one day...... Then this harem is naturally still the world of Concubine Ying. ”

Jin Yiyan tilted his chin, "This is nature." ”

"So have you seen it, Yuwangfu has already started to work on such a banquet, gathering everyone together to eat and drink, to put it nicely, it is to increase feelings, and if it is ugly, it is to win people's hearts."

Ji Ruoping looked at a leisurely look, as if all the words were said casually, "It's true that the third emperor brother doesn't like his father, but the fourth emperor brother is the most favored, and in the future, the position you should have sat in may be given to Concubine Pei Shu." And Concubine Pei Shu and the Third Emperor Sister-in-law are sisters after all, and the Third Emperor Sister-in-law is friendly with the Fourth Emperor Sister-in-law, both horizontally and vertically benefit from Prince Gong's Mansion, but it's a pity that a beauty like you can't compare to others in your life. ”

Jin Yiyan's brain buzzed, she had never thought about such a deep thing, and when she was still stunned, Ji Ruoping got up, patted her shoulder gently, and said in her ear: "What is your husband fighting for, you know, do what he likes, fight for your future, and in the future Rui Wangfu, I still want you to help take care of it." ”

The word "you", she deliberately bit it very hard, and when it reached Jin Yiyan's ears, it almost seeped into the blood, burning wildly.

How long has it been since I've heard such an honorific? How long has it been since someone looked so high? Jin Yiyan almost forgot what it was like to have this kind of word resting on him.

And Ji Ruoping had already left her, this bookish woman, walked to Wei Changyin's side, with a gentle smile, followed her husband and gentleman in a polite exchange between relatives and nobles, as if those words just now had never appeared.

Jin Yiyan didn't know when her ears had become so soft, and Ji Ruoping's few words had already made her make up her mind, this Yuwang Mansion must not be good, and she, even if she can't be the queen, will inevitably be the next Ying Guifei.

But what she didn't know was that Wei Changyin took Ji Ruoping and walked a few steps out of the crowd, and asked in a low voice, "Are you done?" ”

Ji Ruoping breathed a sigh of relief, "According to what you said, take it all apart and tell her slowly, she is very tempted." ”

Wei Changyin smiled slightly, raised his hand and brushed the broken hair on Ji Ruoping's forehead, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, it's just the first time I've done something like this, and I'm a little scared." Ji Ruoping's eyes lit up, looking at her husband.

Wei Changyin felt a little guilty, "What should have been done by me for the Third Emperor Brother fell on you......"

At this time, someone came over with a tea cup and said: "His Royal Highness King Rui, I was about to discuss poetry with you, but I disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”

The readers next to him all laughed, Wei Changyin also smiled, and heard Ji Ruoping whisper behind him, "I am willing to do such a thing for you", his heart was at ease, he turned his head and looked at her gently, and in the laughter without malice, he melted into the crowd, and began to chant something again, "Spring and Autumn are many good days, ascend to the heights and give new poems." Passing through the door is more calling, and there are poems such as "Wine to consider".

At the beginning of the banquet, Lan Yi sat next to Wei Changjue, listening to the music of silk and bamboo, watching the dancers twist their flexible waists, which was originally very comfortable, but Mu Hesheng's words swirled in her heart, and she didn't know what would happen next.

About a cup of tea later, just when Wei Changze was asking people to bring up the boiled chicken shoot porridge, there was a sudden crazy shout in the other room, and a woman with a cloak suddenly broke in, and said "Please give your highness a justice to the concubine", which shocked everyone.

Lan Yi's heart tightened, knowing that this was coming.

And behind this woman, there was also a little eunuch, the little eunuch was full of anxiety, knelt down and said: "Your Highness forgives the sin, the slave is alone, and the others either serve the food or clean up, I really can't stop Miss Ling!" ”

Wei Changze shouted: "What kind of occasion, she has to make trouble here, why don't you bring people down quickly, is there a shortage of people in our Yuwang Mansion!" ”

The little eunuch kowtowed, and when he went up, he pulled the bell girl, but the bell girl was so out of the way that her clothes were torn, and she still lay on the ground, refusing to move. Pei Miaoqing stood up, pointed and said, "It's against her, didn't you see that Your Highness is having a banquet, find the guards outside and tie her up!" ”

Who knew that the bell girl was okay just now, she was gritting her teeth and supporting herself, as soon as Pei Miaoqing said this, she suddenly jumped up and rushed in that direction, although she was stopped by the little eunuch, her mouth couldn't be sealed, and she shouted while struggling, "Pei Miaoqing, do you want face!" You have teamed up with others to set me a trap, slandering that the flesh and blood in my womb are not His Highness, you have caused me to be grounded, and I can't even keep my own children, you can't die a good death! ”

Wei Changze couldn't bear it anymore, and it just so happened that the rest of the eunuchs and guards came over when they heard the news, and immediately pointed at Miss Ling and said, "Gagged, take it out immediately and beat it to death." ”

Lan Yi remembered Mu Hesheng's instructions, knowing that this matter was getting bigger and bigger, and was just about to stand up and speak, but he didn't think that Jin Yiyan was already confused, and rushed to say in front of everyone: "His Royal Highness King Yu, it is said that the concubine should not take care of your family affairs, but this concubine keeps saying that it involves the imperial heir, so why do you have to listen to her and then talk about whether to kill or not, right?" ”

Xiao Huayin frowned, Wei Changyuan had already spoken, "Is there a place for you to speak?" Retire. Then he looked at Wei Changze, "Fourth brother, handle the affairs of your family by yourself, don't bother with this ignorant woman." ”

However, his voice fell, and Lan Yi picked up, "I see, this time Concubine Jin is not ignorant, the weight of the imperial heir, the father and the queen mother have emphasized many times, even the noble concubine Niangniang can't tolerate the persecution of the imperial heir in the palace, if my sister Pei Concubine is really charged with such a crime, how will outsiders think of her?" Please also ask the fourth emperor brother to give Concubine Pei Shu justice. ”

The people above spoke, and the scene froze for a while, and the guards and the little eunuch didn't know the seriousness of it, and they didn't dare to tie up and drag Miss Ling out in front of so many outsiders.

Pei Miaoqing sneered and said, "Princess Gong may not know that this Ling girl has been spoiled for a day or two, and she has made a fuss in the concubine's courtyard before, splashing dog blood everywhere, I don't believe you can ask the third sister if there is such a thing." She has always had a grudge with her concubine, and now she is pouring any dirty water on her body, which is not surprising. Regarding the affairs of King Yu's Mansion, Princess Gong still don't worry. ”

Lan Yi smiled helplessly, from the outsider's point of view, it was naturally her showing favor to her sister, but her sister turned her away thousands of miles away, "I'm not just for your reputation, but also for the reputation of Yuwangfu, so many people here are watching, beating a concubine to death, even if others don't understand what's going on here, they will say that the fourth emperor brother is violent and immoral, and when the time comes, the father will blame him, who can afford it?" ”

When Mu Hesheng heard this, his body leaned to the side, and whispered in Wei Changze's ear: "Originally, there were pickled things in the back house, and everyone here understood that it was better to deal with it well than you to bear this kind of reputation." The main thing is that you can't let your father be too careful, if you are cruel to the women around you, then treat other family members ......"

When Wei Changze heard the reason, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and raised his hand, "Let her say, in front of everyone today, I have to find out the matter, if someone makes trouble in Yuwang's Mansion, I will not spare it." ”

Pei Miaoqing's face was very ugly, and she sat back heavily, while Miss Ling got a glimpse of life, knelt on the ground and said miserably: "Your Highness, the concubine has really never betrayed you, but you never refused to listen to the concubine's explanation." That day, after the concubine drank a bowl of porridge brought by the maid, she was stunned and unconscious, and when she woke up, she slept with the guard. Later, the concubine found out that the people around Concubine Pei had been to the small kitchen that day, and she must have harmed the concubine! ”

Pei Miaoqing's willow eyebrows almost rose upside down, "You don't want to spew blood!" My maid did go to the kitchen, but that day the kitchen man came and said that the mushrooms I liked were gone, and asked my people to come and see if there was anything else I liked, so I sent someone over to have anything to do with your dirty things! ”

Miss Ling gritted her teeth, "You're all done now, do you dare to let people search for it, I don't believe how clean your hands and feet can be!" ”

Pei Miaoqing's face flushed, she didn't dare to let people search for it, but she had a lot of secret scenes saved in her house, which she had enjoyed with Wei Changze when she was in love, how could she let outsiders see it.

But others don't know the inside story here, seeing Pei Miaoqing like this, they should be empty-hearted, Mu Hesheng frowned, and could only ask Wei Changze again, "In order to return Concubine Pei Shu's innocence, search it?" ”

Wei Changze's face was gloomy, he pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Search, I can find it all clearly, Concubine Pei Shu can't find it, so I will search for others, even if I turn Yuwang's Mansion upside down, I have to find out the matter today!" ”

He gave the order, and naturally someone went to act, and after a while, a guard strode over, holding two things in both hands, and bent down and said: "Your Highness, I found this locked brocade box from Concubine Pei's house, and there was a medicine bag next to it, which was white powder. ”

Wei Changze had a cold face, but was a little unnatural, and only said: "I know what the contents of the brocade box are, I don't have to worry about it, have you seen the white powder?" ”

The guard arched his hand, "If you go back to Your Highness, I'm looking for someone to look at it, and it won't take long for you to get results." ”

The people of Yuwang's Mansion were really neat, and soon someone reported that this white powder was a sweat anesthetic, and people would not have anything else to do if they ate it, but they would fall asleep for an hour or two.

The case was solved in this way, Pei Miaoqing looked at those things in a daze, and her brain turned into a mess.
