The moonlight was dim, and the candles in the room were bright, and the faint light shone on the two of them, adding a lot of warm colors. Ji Erlan swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I think it should be the emperor." ”

"Do you also think that the emperor will compete with the queen mother for this moment?"

Ji Erlan nodded and said, "The emperor has endured the queen mother for so many years, and he can't sit still. Such a piece of pie fell from the sky, how could he send it to the Queen Mother, so that the Song family could add another bargaining chip, so no matter what, the emperor would definitely hold the secret talisman of the Qinghe Cui clan in his hand. ”

Yang Zheng had already thought of it, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Your move is really dangerous. If you make a mistake in any step, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover. It is also possible that your background will be revealed. ”

Whether it is to lead Yan Hong to see Cui's family, or to let Yuechen transfer the tiger away from the mountain, or Ji Chenglin's statement, as well as Yan Shicheng and Yan Hong's reactions, if one of them is out of calculation, it will be a loss. Ji Erlan said: "The key to this success lies in surprise. If you delay it for a day or even half a day, it will not be possible. The day of this night banquet is really good, and it is simply a tailor-made east wind for us. ”

As she spoke, she showed a satisfied smile, and then asked Yang Zheng: "The prince has resigned from his position, and the various ministries are afraid that there will be chaos, plus the emperor and the queen mother are fighting openly and secretly, there will be a long time when you can't take care of the prince, what do you want to do next?" ”

"Start with the Su family's case back then."

The superstition that was cracked by the Taoist Master of Ten Thousand Lives is related to this case. Ji Erlan let out a soft 'um' and didn't discuss the matter much. turned to say: "There is another thing, judging from Concubine Rou's behavior, it should be avoiding Concubine Yu everywhere." But the strength of the jade concubine is still clear, and I think something is wrong. ”

Yang Zheng said: "I can't quite understand your woman's intuition, but since you have said this, I will ask people to pay attention." ”

……

In Shoukun Palace, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor watched as the chamberlain dragged Cui's body away, and then returned to the hall, and the emperor said, "It seems that that thing is now in Hong Yan's hands." ”

The Queen Mother said: "The current Hong Yan, it's useless to keep that thing, he doesn't have enough foundation to fight or order the Qinghe Cui clan, holding it is just a hot potato." If he is smart enough, he will obediently offer things and save his own life. Otherwise, when the people of the Qinghe Cui clan knew about the movement here, they would come to take his life as soon as possible. ”

The emperor was even more glad that Ji Chenglin exposed this matter yesterday, otherwise Hong Yan was promoted and gained a foothold in the court, gained his trust, and secretly had Yan Xiang behind his back, and he still held the token of the Qinghe Cui clan in his hand, which would undoubtedly be a big disaster in the future. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of Qin Cheng, such a stubborn courtier who was a bit 'heartless' was what he urgently needed now.

"Queen Mother, the night is dark, you should rest early. Erchen retired first. ”

The emperor got up to leave, but the queen mother stopped him and said: "If the emperor wants to try the ancestors and grandchildren of the Yan family, he must inform the mourning family, and the mourning family must also see what other plans they have." ”

The emperor turned around slowly and said with a smile: "That's nature. ”

The sedan chair slowly walked to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Li Zhonghan said softly: "Your Majesty, it's here." ”

The emperor sat on the sedan chair and did not move, looking up at the dark clouds above his head, and did not say a word. Li Zhonghan bowed and didn't dare to disturb, standing aside and waiting for orders.

After a long time, the emperor beckoned to Li Zhonghan, and the other party immediately put his ear to it.

After whispering, Li Zhonghan nodded again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave will do it immediately." ”

In the Hongxian Palace, Song Yaoxian sat in a daze, her slender white fingers caressing her lower abdomen. Her face was a little pale. said: "She's going to do it." ”

Yun'er's hand trembled, and the Juanpa in her hand almost fell, and said, "Niangniang, how can you see it?" ”

Song Yaoxian said: "The way she looks at me......"

Yun'er didn't know why, and said: "Niang Niangfang is pregnant, and it is normal for her mind to be sensitive, not necessarily ...... What's bad. ”

"No, you don't understand......" Song Yaoxian complained: "The way she looks at me is the same as before, the same as when the Song family was not out of the pavilion!" I was naïve and ignorant, she thought she was in control. And today, she looks at me the same way she did then! It means that I am not a threat in her eyes. ”

"This ......" Yun'er clutched the handkerchief, frightened by her deep tone, and said: "When Concubine Yu asked if you were pregnant today, she was obviously very angry and complained about why you didn't even tell her. The slave knows that she doesn't really care, but is guarding against and tabooing you. Why did you feel like you weren't a threat so quickly? ”

Song Yaoxian said: "That's why I think she is going to do something to me." If it hadn't happened to something unexpected today, maybe I wouldn't have been able to hide from it...... Yun'er, you asked someone to go to the imperial doctor, and they said that I was not feeling well, and then told the emperor that I was pregnant! ”

Yun'er hesitated: "Niangniang, if everyone knows about this matter, in case there are others plotting against it, we can't prevent it!" ”

Song Yaoxian said: "No one else is afraid, I'm only afraid of her...... If the emperor knows, I will be 'squeamish' for a while. You just go for it. ”

"Yes, the slave maid will call the imperial doctor to come over and check the pulse of the mother."

The sky was about to dawn, and the emperor sat in the imperial study refreshed, looking at the knuckle-sized jade pendant in his hand, his eyes were full of smiles, and said: "This is the order letter of the head of the Qinghe Cui family, can you order the Qinghe Cui family?" ”

He raised his voice and called Li Zhonghan in, and asked, "What's the matter with Concubine Fang Rou letting people come over?" ”

Li Zhonghan immediately smiled and kowtowed: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, concubine Rou is happy!" ”

"Really?" The emperor was full of joy, laughed a few times, and said: "There are really a lot of good things in recent days, let's go, I want to go to the Hongxian Hall to have a look." ”

The clouds, which had been depressed for a long time, finally squeezed out the rain, and it rained for three days before stopping. Ji Chenglin made a contribution in front of the emperor again this time, and more people handed over posts to the house. Ji Chenglin instructed the Qin family to invite the families of several officials to a banquet, so the mansion began to get busy early.

Cheng Xiaoxiao arrived at Fangfu early in the morning, and then dragged Fang Qingxue, who had just risen from the wind and cold, into the empty mountain building. Seeing Ji Erlan take three steps and two steps to her, he asked, "There are a lot of big and small things to be busy in the house, how are you preparing?" ”

Ji Erlan said: "I don't need to prepare anything, my mother is already ready to stop, just wait for the daughters of various provinces to come over and greet them." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao has been getting up fast recently, Mrs. Cheng ordered someone to make a lot of fashionable dresses for her, and the set she wears today is beautiful, but it is very cumbersome and complicated. She dragged Ji Erlan and said, "I brought a simple set of clothes with my mother on my back, you quickly let someone take me to change, it's really tiring to be so verbose." ”

Fang Qingxue quipped on the side: "What do you do later, Mrs. Cheng is thinking that when you grow up, you should show your face in front of people, and if you have a reputation outside, you will ...... in the future" She paused, and then lowered her voice and said in Cheng Xiaoxiao's ear: "Don't worry about finding your in-laws' ...... in the future."

"Oops you! Nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth! ”

Fang Qingxue quipped again: "It turns out that you were also shy? I thought your skin would be thicker than the city walls! ”

Several people laughed for a while, and there were already guests at the house, and the three of them went to greet them together. Because of Ji Erlan's 'reputation', several daughters are a little wilted, and they dare not leave their elders an inch, as if Ji Erlan is some kind of poisonous snake and beast. Ji Erlan was helpless, but also happy to be idle.

Qin looked at the placement everywhere, there seemed to be nothing wrong, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thanks to Mrs. Youfang helping her cook, otherwise there must be something careless.

After the house has been rested, a lot of pavilions have been added, there is just a water pavilion on the edge of the pond, which is transparent on all sides, can be used for people to rest and enjoy the scenery, it is a good place to listen to the drama and talk, the ladies and daughters sat down here, first talked about the Qin family's warm laughter for a while, there are not many topics to talk about, and then they talked to people who are familiar with each other.

Although they intended to make friends, it was inevitable that some people would be sour, and occasionally one or two unpleasant words came, which made the Qin family sit still.

Her origins are indeed a malaise, but what can she do? There is no way to change that. She rubbed her slightly rough fingers, her mouth was a little bitter, although her appearance was not bad, but compared with these ladies who had been pampered since childhood and had not suffered, she was still a lot worse. Her eyes looked at Mrs. Fang beside her, although Mrs. Fang was nearly forty years old, her hands were delicate and slender, her wrists were as clear as snow-white jade, and she was like a young woman in her twenties.

The singing voices of the people on the stage were delicate and up-and-down, and Qin's heart also turned a thousand times with the lyrics in the play. No matter how much she tries to remedy it, she can't get back those wasted years.

Although Gu and Xue Baoyue died, and Ji Chenglin also had a deep talk with her, she was still uneasy in her heart. Seeing him rise step by step, the people he came into contact with became more and more noble, and the Qin clan became more and more afraid.

Mrs. Fang sensed that something was wrong with her, turned her head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" But tired? ”

Qin Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a momentary distraction." ”

Mrs. Fang said: "That day, I heard that Hong Yan turned out to be the eldest grandson of the Yan family, and I was really shocked. Fortunately, Master Ji didn't immediately agree to this family business, otherwise it would be difficult to handle. ”

The Qin family no longer understands political affairs, and they also know that the Yan family has frequent incidents, which is not a good thing. said: "In the past, Hong Yan often went to the house to meet with my brother, I thought it was a good one, but I didn't expect him to be a member of the Yan family. ”

Mrs. Fang said: "I heard that the emperor found out that he was just saving his mother, and he didn't know what Yan Xiang had done, so he had pardoned him and asked him to return to the Yan family to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." However, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to turn over. ”

Qin Shi thought that he mentioned this family matter to Ji Erlan that day, and the other party's expression was just faint, saying that he wanted to check Hong Yan's details, presumably because he had already known that his identity was different, but he didn't mention half a word. Let yourself bother asking for her in vain. The thought of this made her heart feel depressed. casually replied: "Fortunately, he saved his life......"
