After dinner, Ah Shan accompanied Mu Biwei back to the inner room, waiting for Mu Biwei to untie her clothes, Ah Shan looked around and said, "Actually, the furnishings in this yard are not bad." ”

"Now I'm the new favorite." Mu Biwei said disapprerovingly, "On the day I entered the palace, He Ronghua called His Majesty to the Qilan Palace, I was driving in the Qilan Palace, the magnificence there is not much better than this small courtyard, it is just a side hall of Pingle Palace, two days ago, I accompanied Your Majesty to Jiang Shunhua in the main hall of Pingle Palace to have a dinner, and the word resplendent should be used in this palace." ”

Ah Shan sighed: "If it is true, success will also affect the prime minister, and defeat will also affect the prime minister." She just heard Mu Biwei talk about the general process of entering the palace, and also guessed that Ji Shen is a master who can allow anything to go out when he is interested, according to Mu Biwei's current favor, if it weren't for the left and right prime ministers to stir up the situation, with Mu Biwei's background and the emperor's favor, now it has only been a few days since she entered the palace, and the concubine dare not say, a formal concubine like a royal maid can't run away, and she doesn't have to be confined to such a small courtyard - Mu Biwei said politely to Gu Changfu before, in fact, the Danyuan in the pastoral mansion is only big and not small than the Fenghe Courtyard.

"I don't hate Jiang Xiang and Ji Xiang." Mu Biwei picked a pair of bright moon pearls in her ear, and said indifferently, "If it weren't for their single-minded politics, they wouldn't have rejected His Majesty's promise to He Ronghua at the beginning, and it would be useless for our family to have ten stunning people at that time!" It's just that I've always been raised in the backyard, although I've read some books, in the end my vision is narrow, and because of my filial piety, I haven't gone out much in the past two years, and I don't know about the things in the court, but Xu's uncle is Xu Nai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Xu family is prosperous, and there are still a few people who can go to the court, and the relationship with the Xu family is not too far, where do I have to enter the palace? She saw me as an eyesore at home, and now that I have entered the palace like this, I have even saved the dowry, that is, I hate her to the core, and I can't help but praise her for her good means in this matter! ”

Ah Shan nodded and said, "It's our negligence." ”

"I used to hear that the shepherd family was thin, and I sometimes thought that now the Mu family only has such a branch from my father, and because the Xu family is a continuation of the string, there will be such stumbles, if there are more people, how can I live?" Mu Biwei put the bright moon beads into the makeup box and sighed, "But I woke up after entering the palace, if there are more people in the Mu family, how can we be deceived like this?" I really have nowhere to inquire - my grandmother and the Shen family have long been inextricably linked, and I still have my grandfather's filial piety on me, except for the Min family, there is no one else to go to, but the uncle and aunt of the Min family are of course kind-hearted, but they are all mediocre talents. ”

Ah Shan is the wife of the Min family, and he is also a member of the Min family, of course he is very clear about the situation of the Min family, Mu Biwei said that the talents of the four sons under Min Rugai's knees are really mediocre, in fact, the four rooms of the Min family are now unbearable, otherwise the snow blue pass is such a big deal, and Ji Shen's dispute with the left and right prime ministers is that he can't go to court, and he can always listen to one or two from Min Rugai's old friends, the four uncles of the Min family can't even do this, and it can only be said that Mu Biwei's entry into the palace is really fateful.

"Last night, the slave maid served the old lady for one night." Ah Shan said.

Mu Biwei understood what it meant as soon as she heard this, and when she thought of Nie Yuansheng's hint, her heart jumped slightly: "What did grandmother tell you?" ”

"The girl has been in the palace these days, and you can see the concubine in the palace?" Ah Shan asked.

"Concubine Wen I only met yesterday, speaking of which, she also helped me, because the Empress Dowager Gao didn't like me, let me kneel on the ground and ignore it, or Concubine Wen took the words and turned to my father, which caused the Empress Dowager Gao to think of the situation when her father entered the palace in the first place, and her face softened." Mu Bi frowned slightly and asked, "Another Concubine Bo is said to live in Hongshou Palace, which is very far away from Jique, and Princess Tongchang, who has not yet descended under her knees, I saw it this morning, I heard the palace people talk in private, saying that the Empress Dowager Gao doesn't like Concubine Bo very much, and now I have offended enough people in the palace, but I don't want to dislike the Empress Dowager too much. ”

Ah Shan sighed: "The queen mother is the queen mother, she doesn't like girls, in the end, she still has to figure it out slowly, but this matter will be talked about later-the girl just said that on the day she entered the palace, she saw Nie Yuansheng and also saw King Gaoyang, Nie Yuansheng may be a coincidence, the slave maid thought that King Gaoyang was deliberately looking for His Majesty that day!" ”

Mu Bi said strangely: "What do you say? ”

"The old lady said that the girl is in the palace, I'm afraid that Concubine Wen will take care of it." Ah Shan said, "King Gaoyang is the son of Concubine Wen, and the girl's entry into the palace was spread in advance, otherwise, why did the prime minister rush to stop it, forcing His Majesty to give the girl the position of Tsing Yi?" ”

Mu Bi frowned slightly, recalling the scene in front of the Qilan Palace that day, at that time, King Gaoyang clearly looked like he didn't know that he had entered the palace, wasn't it to hide the real purpose of his special rush to relieve the siege for himself? After all, Nie Yuansheng is really a difficult ...... She asked unconsciously, "But I don't know what the relationship between this concubine and the Mu family is?" ”

Ah Shan's eyes showed a strange color, and said: "The old lady said that Concubine Wen was born with extraordinary dignity. ”

Seeing that Mu Bi was slightly dazed, Ah Shan said, "If it weren't for the untimely death of Emperor Shenwu of the former Wei Dynasty, this would definitely not be the concubine now, but should be called Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"Concubine Wen is the daughter of Emperor Shenwu of Wei?" Mu Bi was slightly taken aback, "Really? ”

- Emperor Shenwu of the former Wei Dynasty was a British lord, but he could not resist the mandate of heaven, he died very early, leaving behind a pair of children who were very young, among which the youngest son died violently the night before the Mujia army arrived in Yedu, which caused the internal turmoil of the former Wei royal family, and only then did the Great Wei fall apart for a while, and the prime minister Ji Jing and the current founder of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Zuo Qiuye, took advantage of the chaos.

As for the only little princess of Emperor Wei Shenwu, no one mentioned it in the war, according to what Shen Taijun told Ah Shan, was the last bit of blood and blood of Emperor Wei Shenwu in the world actually preserved by Ji Jing?

"The old lady said that the Mujia army was one night away and failed to keep His Royal Highness the Prince, so he was very frightened and guilty, but His Royal Highness the Prince died, Emperor Wei Shenwu had no other heirs, and all the kings were the brothers and nephews of Emperor Shenwu. Emperor Gaozu managed to let the little princess avoid the Huangzhuang outside Yedu in the name of pox, and the ancestor Mu Zhichi actually left a group of soldiers and horses to protect the princess in the left side of the Huangzhuang before returning to the northwest. Ah Shan sighed, "Originally, the ancestors of the Mu family thought that the royal family was too chaotic at that time, and they were worried that the princess was not safe in the palace, and planned that the royal family would finally decide on the successor, and then send the princess back under the pretext that she had recovered, after all, she was just a princess, and if the emperor had a result, the palace would not embarrass her." But I didn't want to make such a plan, but I also left a pulse for the Mu family......"

Mu Bi frowned slightly and said, "Why did Princess Wei become Concubine Wen before?" ”

"It's not surprising." A Shan said, "Several brothers of Emperor Wei Shenwu fought too much for the throne, so that later the soldiers met each other, and the world was in chaos - at that time, the ancestors of the Mu family had been martyred in the two passes of choking clouds and recklessness, and the Mu family was left with the ancestors Mu Xun and the two thousand secret soldiers who originally left to protect the princess, that is, they had the intention to end the competition for the throne of the kings, and the ancestors were weak, and the princess was young, so in a disease, the princess was entrusted to Emperor Gaozu, and later Emperor Gaozu raised troops to crusade against the former Wei rebel king who took the lead in disturbing the world...... After the establishment of this dynasty, Emperor Gaozu canonized his sons, and the first emperor Ruizong was crowned the king of Hejian, and the princess was already a side concubine. ”

"It turns out that Concubine Wen and the Mu family still have such a paragraph." Mu Biwei listened to it and sighed, "No wonder she spoke for me in the temple that day, and took the initiative to mention Mu Qi...... Come to think of it, it is impossible for Empress Dowager Gao not to know about this matter, her relaxed attitude is not only because of her father's taste for the first emperor's companion, but also because of Concubine Wen's face! ”

Concubine Wen and Empress Dowager Gao have a good relationship, and even Shen Taijun knows about the past, how can Empress Dowager Gao not know? Concubine Wen relieved Mu Biwei from the siege, not to mention the side, she mentioned Mu Qi, which was tantamount to reminding Empress Dowager Gao that she had received the grace of the Mu family and wanted to intercede for Mu Biwei.

In this way, it may not be a coincidence that she met King Gaoyang outside the Qilan Palace that day, I am afraid that Concubine Wen knew that He Ronghua would embarrass herself, but as a concubine, she did not rush to Pingle Palace in person, and she was worried about the kindness of the Mu family to support her back then, so she sent King Gaoyang, who had not yet tied her hair and was still close to Ji Shen.

Mu Biwei's mood was a little complicated: "I thought that Concubine Wen helped me that day because I saw that Your Majesty was spoiling me, she was not Your Majesty's biological mother, nor was she your mother-in-law, so naturally she didn't have the confidence to go against the will of Empress Dowager Gao or Your Majesty, but I didn't want her to be kind." ”

Ah Shan reminded: "Although according to the words of the old lady, the Mu family has some kindness to Concubine Wen, judging from the girl's personality of Concubine Wen, she is not a person who does not know the grace of retribution, but she is only a concubine in the end, not to mention that there is a queen mother on the top, and it is not her today, and there are only a few people who can take care of the girl in this palace, and besides, Concubine Wen is the former princess of Wei, although this matter is due to the migration of time, not many people know, and there have been three dynasties in this dynasty to His Majesty, but the identity is a little embarrassing, Girl, please think about it, although there are not as many people in Emperor Ruizong's harem as there are today, but there are also a few nobles, but Emperor Ruizong's heirs only have one son and one daughter as concubines, and the rest are all concubines - Concubine Wen may be quite skillful, otherwise how could she live in Ganquan Palace with Empress Dowager Gao? But her identity also has something to do with it, after all, she bears the blood of the former Wei royal family, and King Gaoyang can be said to be born with no possibility to sit in that position! ”

Mu Bi nodded slightly: "I know, Concubine Wen is a dependent, but she can't rely on anything, at most, she will say something good for me in front of the Queen Mother, or send us something privately, even if she doesn't say that she is just a concubine in the palace and has no real power, she is still the biological mother of King Gaoyang, and she can't leave King Gaoyang's future to do anything for me." ”

Ah Shan said: "The girl doesn't have to trouble her now, it's just that the prime minister is too desperate this time, it has been two years since His Majesty officially canonized the concubine, and only then did Jiang Shunhua's pregnancy letter come out, and it is already rare to have an heir and then be promoted, and the Empress Dowager Gao is still sending the child soup every day......"

Even Ah Shan showed a look of embarrassment, Mu Biwei didn't look worried, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Even now that I can avoid the child soup and become pregnant, it is still a question whether I can give birth to a baby in October!" There are many things, and there is always a solution to them. I don't believe that I came to the palace to make a Tsing Yi and wait to fall out of favor and die! ”

When Ah Shan heard this, he smiled with relief: "But the slave is anxious, in the end, the girl is the blood of the lady!" ”

The two of them put aside the predicament in front of them and carefully exchanged the news of the past few days in and outside the palace......
