Chapter 671: High Hopes
"The emperor only reprimanded Concubine Shu on the surface, and did not withdraw her right to manage the six palaces, presumably it will be fine in a few days, but these six princes are indeed of age."
It's time to think about that.
Lu Qingrong smiled lightly, even the palace maid who warmed the bed did not let go, and he could see how much the emperor cared and how anxious he was.
The more fierce the quarrel between the crown prince and Prince Lian, the more the emperor had high hopes for the six princes.
This is also a good thing for the six princes.
Anyway, the Xuanguo Mansion has decided to support the Six Princes, and the situation of the Six Princes is closely related to the Xuanguo Mansion.
But at the same time, she remembered another disturbing matter, this matter is very important, and she really doesn't know how to deal with it.
"Grandpa, I went to Xiangguo Temple to see the Queen Mother a few days ago."
There was no look of surprise on Xue Lao's face.
Lu Qingrong mentioned that he wanted to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings and fasting, Xue Lao felt strange, think about it, what is there to see in this Xiangguo Temple?
The only thing that makes people remember this is not the Queen Mother?
"What did you say to the Queen Mother?"
Lu Qingrong knew that Xue Lao had misunderstood, but he was afraid that in the eyes of Xue Lao and Lao Taijun, it was she who took the initiative to find the Queen Mother, but in fact, it should be said that the Queen Mother took the initiative to find her.
Lu Qingrong secretly hugged himself with a grievance.
"A few days ago, Master Yuanchen of Xiangguo Temple sent me a string of Buddhist beads, and the ruby used in the Buddhist beads was polished with a special process, which is the only one in the world."
Xue Lao raised his eyebrows, Lu Qingrong said vaguely, but he understood.
This ruby bead sounded so familiar, by the way, isn't that the unique craftsmanship of the Jin family?
"You're talking about the ruby bracelet made of coral by the Jin family, this Jin family used to be famous for this craft, and once designed a crown of beads on the head for the royal family, but unfortunately something happened later."
Speaking of this, Xue Lao's tone was full of regret, "But anyway, there is still a bloodline left, and the unique craftsmanship of the Jin family has been passed down, but it is a pity that the generation of the Jin family is not brilliant, but it is declining more and more." ”
If it weren't for a concubine, the Jin family would have been driven out of the capital.
Concubine Chen?
Xue Lao glanced at Lu Qingrong, who poured tea indifferently, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
This Concubine Chen is the biological mother of the third princess, when the Queen Mother went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the blessing of the country, Concubine Chen insisted on following.
For so many years, Concubine Chen has never left Xiangguo Temple, she has always been placed around the Queen Mother, even the third princess got married, Concubine Chen only sent someone to send some dowry, and people still did not leave Xiangguo Temple.
Concubine Chen, Xue Lao has also seen her, she is a well-informed girl.
After so many years, I don't know what it has become, but speaking of which, Xue Lao feels that the emperor is harmful.
In the past, the emperor boasted that he was attentive and devoted to the queen, but since marrying the two side concubines, this mind has become bigger and bigger, and his temperament is becoming more and more cold.
Especially after ascending the throne, there are more and more beauties in the harem.
Over the years, how many women's youth have been lost in that palace wall!
Xue Lao glanced at Lu Qingrong and motioned for her to continue.
"This time I went to Xiangguo Temple, I not only saw the Queen Mother, but also met Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen is really a beauty for so many years, and there is a sense of arrogance between her eyebrows."
Lu Qingrong paused, "It can be seen that the life of the Buddhist temple for so many years has not polished the edges and corners of Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen and I talked a lot about the Jin family, and also talked about the Yan family." ”
This Jin family is Concubine Chen's mother's family, and the Yan family is the queen mother's mother's family.
What is the reason why the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen chose to woo their granddaughter at this time?
Unless they already know about the Six Princes, they plan to put all the treasures on the Six Princes.
Lu Qingrong had been waiting for Xue Lao's reaction, "Grandpa, did you think of something?" ”
Xue Lao met Lu Qingrong's grinning face and glared at her.
"You don't have to be sloppy here, the good Queen Mother and Concubine Chen won't call you over, what have you discussed? Does your grandmother know about this? You're not going to cut it first, are you? ”
Lu Qingrong smiled weakly, "Grandpa said that he was joking, such a big thing, how dare I cut it first and then play it, I specially asked my grandmother before I went to Xiangguo Temple, and my grandmother also agreed to let me go." ”
As soon as Xue Lao heard this, he understood that Lu Qingrong must have made some decision behind their backs, and he was immediately angry.
He put the purple clay teacup on the table with a serious face.
"Is it the same thing to let you go and let you cut first and then play? You girl is getting bolder and bolder, do you know that it is the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen, how can you be a little girl who can influence it. ”
In this way, Gillian will definitely be shocked.
Usually, as soon as Grandpa Tai has this expression, he will definitely punish them.
Lu Qingrong was also taken aback by Xue Lao's appearance at first, but she has always been thick-skinned, and she is used to being faceless and skinless in front of Xue Lao.
"Grandpa, you don't want to think about it, what is the relationship between grandmother and the queen mother, when it comes to Xiangguo Temple, grandmother will definitely think of the queen mother, grandmother actually thought of it but didn't stop me, grandmother trusts me, that's why I will go."
"Isn't this equivalent to handing over the decision of things to me, besides, grandpa, you haven't listened to me, what deal did you make with the Queen Mother, is it a little too impulsive to be so angry?"
Xue Lao was reminded by Lu Qingrong, and he calmed down, but he still looked at her with the nose not the nose and the eyes not the right eyes.
The tone was even more blunt, "Do you promise that as long as the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen assist the six princes to ascend to the throne, the benefits of the Jin family and the Yan family will naturally be indispensable after the matter is completed." ”
"Grandpa, this has wronged me, I didn't agree to anything."
Is she the kind of person who makes easy promises?
For so many years, this harem and the former dynasty have long been beyond the reach of the two of them, even if there are so many people who will listen to them, it will not be too much, and it will not be of much help to the six princes.
And this time it was the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen who took the initiative to find her.
Now Xue Lao became more and more puzzled, she looked like she just now, and it was clear that she had reached some kind of agreement with the Queen Mother Chen, why didn't she agree to anything?
For a moment, Xue Lao felt that his brain couldn't keep up.
"Grandpa, do you think that now that the Yan family and the Jin family still have a bright future?"
Lu Qingrong said honestly, "The Jin family also has only one young general guarding the city gate, and he can be regarded as an official in the court. ”
