The shy Ning Yingluo Yingying walked in front of Chu Yongrui, and when she was about to speak, Jiang Xuemian brought a peach blossom in front of her.

"Sister Yingluo, look! Is this peach blossom pretty? ”

Ning Yingluo swallowed the bitterness and said with a smile: "Pretty ......"

"This is for Sister Yingluo! It is the flower branch that His Royal Highness the Third Prince specially folded for Sister Yingluo! ”

Ning Yingluo was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Yongrui, and replied a little sneeringly: "Thank you." ”

"It's just a good deal."

Li Jiangwei, who was at the end, silently looked at Concubine Ning Xian's closed bedroom, and then looked in the direction of the queen's departure.

The relationship between the queen and the favorite concubine is bad, and Li Jiangwei has heard of it for a long time. It's just that I didn't expect the two to compete for the ownership of the phoenix seal, and Concubine Ning Xian's power seems to be greater than imagined.

"Concubine Xian, doesn't it matter to her?" Jiang Xuemian asked worriedly: "We are still here, will we disturb the mother's rest?" ”

Ning Yingluo quietly dragged Jiang Xuemian beside her, "My aunt was unhappy, but she didn't want to ruin the fun of a few of us, so she went back to the house to rest first." If we leave, won't it be in vain to give her a good idea? ”

"It's worthy of you, it's not in vain that the mother and concubine hurt you."

Ning Yingluo said happily: "Knowing the kindness is reciprocated, it should be." ”

Li Jiangwei saw Chu Yongrui leading the three of them back to the peach forest, and saw Jiang Xuemian constantly matching Ning Yingluo and Chu Yongrui. As for her, she was like an outsider.

No one pays attention to themselves, but they are happy.

Walking among the peach forests, carefully observe the eaves of the surrounding palaces, and the delicate carvings on the pillars and beams. In the meantime, I understand the extremely exquisite charm of carving behind the simple four words of "carving beams and painting buildings".

"You're different from other girls."

A male voice suddenly appeared behind Li Jiangwei, but fortunately, his consciousness told him that he was in the palace, and stuck the exclamation in his throat without shouting.

turned around and looked, it turned out to be the fifth prince Chu Yongheng.

"Other girls follow my royal brother to enjoy the flowers, why do you love to stare at these stones and bricks?"

"I saw that the carving on it was interesting, so I stopped and forgot to return."

"Oh? Is it really that interesting? ”

"The fifth prince grew up in the queen since he was a child, and he is not surprised by these exquisite crafts for a long time."

"Your Anyuan Bofu is also a noble family that has existed since the time of the Holy Ancestor, why do you look like you haven't seen the world?"

"How can you see the world?" Li Jiangwei asked rhetorically: "Have the five princes ever been to Xiajiang?" Have you ever left the capital and seen the mountains and rivers of Gongguo? ”

"No, I didn't."

"Have the five princes seen the world, or have they never seen the world?"

Chu Yongheng smiled dumbly and said, "What you said makes sense. Whether you have seen the world or not is really difficult to define. is really worthy of being a strange woman who wrote "Wan Jiayan". ”

"The five princes are serious."

"You're much more interesting than my Third Emperor Brother. I don't know if you can surprise me even more, don't let me down. ”

"Didn't the Fifth Prince go to Qintian Prison to see Master? Why is it all of a sudden? ”

"Master can't get out of something for a while. I had no choice but to go home, but I didn't expect to meet the queen coming, so I could only sneak into the peach forest alone. ”

Chu Yongheng's eyes moved down and looked at the peach blossom branch in Li Jiangwei's hand.

"This is the concubine's favorite peach blossom, I didn't expect the third emperor brother to send it."

Concubine Ning Xian's two sons look like their mothers, Chu Yongrui is still a little like Chu Jianyu, but Chu Yongheng is a pretty mother to a bit of a woman, thin and weak with a little lazy.

But Li Jiangwei saw traces of Yu Yongyi in Chu Yongheng's eyes.

In front of her, her bright eyes also revealed a similar loneliness.

"You have a good relationship with my Fourth Emperor Brother?"

"I'm just a simple author in the hands of His Royal Highness King Qin."

"But the fourth emperor brother pays attention to you, and even asks his father to come to the painter of the Ruyi Pavilion to illustrate the new manuscript written by Cheng Wei."

"Where did the news of the Five Princes come from?"

Chu Yongheng smiled lightly and said, "Of course, it is a secret that cannot be told to you." ”

Li Jiangwei felt that with so many people she met today, the queen and the virtuous concubine were not as terrible as this mysterious fifth prince.

After sending the girls away, Chu Yongrui returned to the main palace of Jingren Palace and calmly came to Concubine Ning Xian's bed.

"You've seen all three children, what do you think?"

"The little girl of the Jiang family is a little interesting, and seems to like the jackalo more than me. The childishness has not been taken off, and the etiquette of advance and retreat has been checked a little. If you want to marry her as a wife, I'm afraid you still have a lot to learn. ”

"Isn't that good? At least in major matters, he will not be constrained by Empress Song like the emperor. The Jiang family is also a family for many generations, and Jiang Shangshu has some ability but no talent as a prime minister. In the future, if you become the emperor, you will not be swayed by your relatives. The only thing to worry about is that this little girl's actions can't afford to be a clan woman. ”

"She's not very old, and she still has time to learn. If the Jiang family really has this intention, they will always improve if they find someone from the palace to teach their grandmother to raise for a few years. ”

Concubine Ning Xian nodded and said, "That's right...... What about Li Jiangwei? ”

She doesn't like to take the initiative to speak, she likes to step aside and listen quietly. The etiquette is a few points better than Jiang Xuemian, although she is a concubine born in the concubine room, but there is no problem in being a clan wife. As soon as "Wan Jiayan" came out, it was appreciated by his father, and I am afraid that the unfavorable factor of birth can also ignore the past. Let her be a side concubine, it seems that she has been wronged. ”

After Chu Yongrui finished speaking, he was puzzled: "There is something that the minister does not understand. Why did my mother ask me to pay attention to the distance from the jackalo? ”

"Don't you see? That girl has a mind for you. ”

Chu Yongrui frowned, "She? ”

"She is a good child, but it is a pity that she was born in the Ning family." Concubine Ning Xian kneaded her temples in amazement: "If the first prince does not die, the Ning family will pave the way for her and become the next queen." However, the world is unpredictable, the current prince is a woman, and under the imperial concubine is you, the prince with the blood of the Ning family. ”

"The concubine means...... There is no need to kiss and kiss? ”

"Why? Although I trust my eldest brother, I can't trust my eldest brother's heirs. If your wife and mother are both members of the Ning family, and one day you ascend the throne in the future, will you be able to balance the power of the Ning family? Now the emperor balances the Ning family with the Feng family, and the Feng family has long had the idea of relieving the armor and returning to the field to live in seclusion in the mountains. ”

Concubine Ning Xian sneered, and continued: "The border is peaceful, there has not been a war for a few years, if it weren't for a Feng Jieyu living in the harem, I'm afraid the Feng family would have thrown off their hands and lived their own free life." ”

After hearing this, Chu Yongrui was depressed and silent.

"Just because the mother's concubine's surname is Ning, if you give birth to the three of you, you can only get one virtuous concubine. Just because her surname is sealed, she doesn't have to do anything, she has the title of Jieyu. Son, this is the concubine of the harem. No matter how you fight, you must adapt to the situation in the front court. After all, we are pawns in the front court, and we can never become chess players. ”
