Chapter 31: Shameless Schemes
His words made Concubine Qian even more confused. Qian Songping retired from the maid and came to Concubine Qian, "Sister, do you remember a few days ago, the prince asked the princess to go to the second room of the Fang family to propose marriage?" ”
Concubine Qian nodded. The people outside don't know about it, but the people in the palace know it. If it weren't for the appearance of the second girl in the party, maybe there would be another side concubine in the Yunyang Palace.
"Sister, we have all been deceived." Qian Song said: "That second girl is delicate and moving, where is the saltless girl with a pockmarked face, it must be the princess who is jealous of her beauty, so she is so unbearable." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Qian couldn't believe it, "What you said is true?" ”
Qian Song immediately assured.
Concubine Qian was puzzled again, "What does it matter to me whether she is ugly or beautiful, do you want me to go to the prince to expose the princess's deception?" ”
Qian Song shook his head, "My sister, that's what I mean!" The prince was so fascinated that he only listened to the voice of the second girl Fang, if he saw her beauty again, he would definitely do everything to get people to the mansion. Fang Shilang's official residence is three grades, and the second girl Fang is also qualified to be a side concubine. ”
"What are you talking about, do you want to block me?" Qian Bian's words are from a merchant, and her life experience has always been a sore spot for her.
Qian Song hurriedly said: "Sister, why can't you see the situation clearly?" I proposed to let Second Miss Fang into the mansion, not to share your favor, but to hit the princess. ”
"You think, my sister has the only heir of the prince under her knees, and the prince treats you differently than others. The princess is jealous, if there is another favored side concubine in the house, the princess's spearhead will definitely be aimed at her. When the time comes, after the two of them meet, my sister will take the opportunity to envelop the prince, if she can get pregnant again and give birth to a son, the sister who has both children is afraid that she will be the first person in this palace. ”
After listening to her younger brother's words, Concubine Qian couldn't help but think. She has been in the Yunyang Palace's mansion for more than six years, and she has long been disfavored by the Yunyang King, but for her daughter's sake, she can also see the Yunyang King a few times a month. The princess also looked at her unpleasantly because of this, and even the county lord with her daughter was always reprimanded by her.
What kind of person is King Yunyang, I am afraid that no one in this palace is unclear. The princess deceived the prince last time, if she can make the prince achieve what he wants, the prince will not be able to treat himself badly when he is happy.
Thinking of this, she immediately discussed with Qian Song, how to let King Yunyang smoothly welcome the beauty into the mansion without alarming Princess Yunyang.
On this day, King Yunyang came to see his daughter in the Makeup Willow Courtyard as usual. Concubine Qian changed her smiling face to greet her, and the whole person was shrouded in a sorrow that could not be dissolved.
It happened that King Yunyang was in a good mood, and when he saw Concubine Qian's appearance, he asked casually.
Concubine Qian asked people to take out a portrait and spread it out in front of King Yunyang, "I don't know if the prince can recognize the person in the painting?" ”
King Yunyang took a closer look, "Although this king has read countless beauties, he really doesn't recognize this beauty in the painting." ”
Concubine Qian sighed, "The princess knows her, otherwise she wouldn't have let the princess go to someone's house to propose." ”
Seeing that King Yunyang looked puzzled, she continued: "A few days ago, the concubine's younger brother saw the person in the painting in Xuanpingbo's mansion, and after he came back, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and he was clamoring to marry her. The concubine sent someone to inquire, only to know that this person was the young daughter of Fang Weide, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, that is, the second girl Fang who wanted to be admitted to the door a few days ago. ”
After Brother Song learned of this girl's identity, he forced himself to dispel the idea of marrying her. The concubine thought about it for a few days, and felt that she should still let the prince know, so she asked people to draw the appearance of the second girl. ”
After hearing these words, King Yunyang's face became ugly, he slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily: "What a Qi Mengxue, even this king dares to deceive." ”
After speaking, he picked up the beauty picture and left angrily.
Princess Yunyang didn't know that King Yunyang would come to settle accounts with her, and she was planning to take the secret recipe for giving birth to a child that her mother found for her. She has been married to Yunyang Wangfu for seven years and has never given birth. Not only is her mother's family anxious, but even she herself is in a hurry.
As soon as she picked up the bowl, a bitter taste turned around her. She set the bowl aside, "This medicine is too bitter for me to drink." ”
Queqiao persuaded: "The medicine is bitter, let's drink some of it." ”
Princess Yunyang was just about to speak, when the door was suddenly kicked open, and then King Yunyang walked in with a blue face. His gaze stayed on the bowl of medicine, and he sneered: "If you spoil the good things of this king, and you still want to give birth to children for this king, are you worthy?" ”
"Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?" Princess Yunyang suddenly stood up and asked.
King Yunyang threw the portrait in his hand to her, "Look for yourself, the person in this painting is the girl of the Fang family who you said is like a saltless person, it turns out that you have been deceiving this king." ”
Princess Yunyang picked up the painting and looked at it, only to see that the person in the painting was beautiful and graceful. At first glance, she didn't recognize it, but it wasn't until she saw the familiar pair of phoenix eyes as clear as water that she knew the identity of the person in the painting.
"How could it be her, Princess Ben obviously saw her face covered with red rashes with her own eyes." Princess Yunyang couldn't believe it: "Could it be that she deliberately lied to me?" ”
King Yunyang sneered, "Before you go to the Fang family, who knows what you're going to do." Could it be that the Fang family could still have predicted in advance and deliberately let the second girl Fang ruin her face? Qi Mengxue, your previous methods were informed by this king, but for the sake of the royal sister-in-law, I don't care about you, don't think that this king will not dare to do anything to you. ”
"Lord Wang, I didn't, I really didn't lie to you, I don't believe you asked Queqiao." Princess Yunyang hurriedly defended herself.
King Yunyang glanced at her with a smile, "No need, this king is here to inform you, from today on, the stewardship of Yunyang Palace's mansion will be handed over to Concubine Qian, and all the people in the palace will obey Concubine Qian's management." ”
Hearing this, Princess Yunyang's eyes widened, threw away the picture scroll and shouted: "Why, I am the princess, why is she a slut from a merchant family?" ”
King Yunyang picked up the scroll on the ground and glanced at her, "You can do it yourself!" ”
After saying that, he left the main courtyard.
Concubine Qian has always had an unreal feeling after she got the housekeeping rights, but she didn't expect good luck to come to her turn so soon. So when King Yunyang asked her to prepare the dowry, she didn't dare to delay for a moment.
King Yunyang was very satisfied with her knowledge, and was happy to reward her with a lot of good things.
Thinking of the beauty on the picture scroll, King Yunyang couldn't wait to go to Fang's house with a cart of expensive dowry. It happened that Fang Shilang Mu Xiu was at home, and when he heard that King Yunyang came to the door, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as King Yunyang entered Fang's house, he went straight to the point and proposed to accept Fang Mojiao as a side concubine, so shocked that Fang Shilang almost rolled off the chair.
"Lord, please forgive the minister for not agreeing." Fang Shilang refused: "The minister only has one daughter, I hope she will be safe and happy all her life, and he plans to marry her into a high gate, let alone let her be a concubine." ”
King Yunyang knew that Fang Shilang would not agree easily, but he came today to achieve his goal.
"Is Fang Shilang disgusted with the position of the side concubine? You can rest assured, after Ling Ai enters the mansion, as long as he gives birth to an heir for this king, this king can find a reason to abolish the current princess, and then straighten her out. ”
Hearing this, Fang Shilang only felt that King Yunyang was extremely ridiculous, and said with a cold face: "Whether it is the main concubine or the side concubine, the minister is unwilling to send his daughter to the Yunyang Palace." Forgive the ministers for their poor hospitality, please go back! ”
King Yunyang didn't expect Fang Shilang to be so faceless, and he was suddenly annoyed in his heart, "Hmph, toast and don't eat and drink, this king personally came to the door to ask you to marry you and was not interested, Fang Weide, you can't blame this king." ”
After speaking, he said to the guards: "Go to the backyard, today the king must hug the beauty." ”
Seeing that King Yunyang was about to break through with someone, Fang Shilang was furious and hurriedly asked the family members to stop him. But the family members were the opponents of the guards of the Yunyang Palace, and they were quickly beaten down.
King Yunyang ordered someone to restrain Fang Shilang and lead people to the backyard.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Fang Mojiao appeared in front of everyone with a long sword, followed by an anxious Jane and a large group of maids and servants.
