Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Rift
Ji Yingxin's words were not finished, but the meaning of them was known to anyone.
With some words, the Yonghe Palace, which was originally happy, quieted down in an instant, as if it was cold after the fireworks exploded.
The smile on Concubine De's face became lighter and lighter, and after a while, I saw Concubine De lowering her eyes, picking up the teacup and taking a sip gently, and then putting on a smile again, and said casually: "So that's the case, it seems that this palace is still a step slower, too, the fourth child has always been as careful as a hair, and this matter is about the son-in-law, it is not too careful, where can I wait for the palace to be slow here, but this palace is not." ”
The smile on Concubine De's face became brighter and brighter, but her eyes became more and more cold, and everyone in Yonghe Palace who was familiar with her knew that this was a manifestation of Niangniang's anger.
Seeing this, Ji Yingxin also sighed in her heart, how could she not know that Concubine De was angry, and hurriedly said: "This matter is all about the son's minister, if it weren't for the fact that the son's minister didn't do anything when he was pregnant just now, and there were a lot of troubles, the fourth master would not be so nervous, but he made Eniang work in vain, and asked Eniang to forgive him." “
Saying that, Ji Yingxin's body was a little lower.
Looking at Ji Yingxin, who was asking for sin, Concubine De's face did not improve in the slightest, fortunately, there was also a Shen Mama, knowing that Ji Yingxin was pregnant with Liujia and couldn't stand the toss, seeing this, she hurriedly said in Concubine De's ear: "Niangniang, Sifujin still has a body." “
Hearing this, Concubine De said: "But it's all for the good of your body, where is there anything to ask for guilt or not, Yinzhen can take care of you, it's too late for the palace to be happy, okay, get up quickly, you are pregnant, you need to rest more, let's get here today, speaking of which, the fourteenth should be about to get out of school, and the palace is also going to see, you kneel down." “
"Yes, the retainers are retired." When Ji Yingxin heard this, he sighed in his heart, after this time, I am afraid that there will be a new rift between Concubine De and Yinzhen.
Sure enough, just after Ji Yingxin left Yonghe Palace, with a snap, the delicate broken porcelain pieces were suddenly scattered all over the ground, leaving a layer of water stains on the smooth ground of Yonghe Palace.
In this regard, the palace maids of Yonghe Palace did not show any abnormality, and one by one the well-trained stepped forward, silently wiping off the cups and water marks on the ground, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Mama Shen took a new cup of tea from the palace maid beside her, handed it to Concubine De, and persuaded: "Niangniang, why are you bothering? The fourth elder brother has not been doing this for a day or two, from before to now, the people in the elder brother's office, which one was not installed by himself, this time, the fourth elder brother may not be embarrassed by you, it is estimated that he is just worried about the four blessings, and he has already made preparations. “
"Just look at the people you sent over, whether it was a nail or not, the fourth elder brother accepted it without complaint, he was very angry, take care of your body." Mama Shen said.
Hearing this, Concubine De raised the cup to her mouth and took a sip, then took a deep breath and put the cup down, looked at Mama Shen and said: "Your words are not clear in this palace, it's just that the fourth family has been respectful in front of this palace in the past year, but it has made this palace really forget that the relationship between this palace and the fourth child is not as harmonious as imagined, what is the matter, the first thing he thinks of is always Tong Jia's family." “
"He is a prince and brother, where did he come from, I'm afraid it is the connections left by Tong Jia's family for him, you say, in his heart, is there a mother in the palace." As she spoke, Concubine De couldn't help but slap her palm on the table beside her.
"Oh Niangniang, your hands hurt carefully." Seeing this, Mama Shen hurriedly grabbed Concubine De's hand and blew it, "What do you say you are angry with a dead man, the fourth elder brother is like this, isn't it because the strength in the hands of Niangniang in the early years was insufficient, and she can only rely on Queen Xiaoyi?" Besides, the fourth elder brother holds the connections of Empress Xiaoyi in his hands, so you can use all your strength on the fourteenth elder brother, isn't it, this is a good thing? ”
"A good thing? Scold. Concubine De sneered, "To put it bluntly, it's not that the background of this palace is too low, even my own son can't look down on this palace, and I want to go to Tong Jia's family, even if she dies, she will regard herself as Tong Jia's son." Don't think that this palace doesn't know, in the past few years, the Tong family and Yinzhen have been unclear, and they don't know what to do. ”
"By the way, Mama Shen, I heard that the Tong family doesn't seem to have a daughter in this generation, only a concubine, right?" Concubine De suddenly thought of something.
"I heard that's the case, what do you mean by that?" Mama Shen looked at Concubine De suspiciously.
"Nothing." Concubine De smiled when she heard this, "The palace just remembered that according to the rules, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have four places for the side Fujin, the daughter of the Tong family, if it is a concubine, naturally the crown princess can also do it, but if the concubine is a concubine, one side Fujin is enough." “
"You say, if the concubine of the Tong family enters Yuqing Palace, when the time comes, will the Tong family support the prince or the fourth child? Without the Tong family behind them, I don't know if the people left by Tong Jia's family will listen to the fourth child, Mama, what do you say? Concubine De glanced at Mama Shen with a smile and said.
Hearing this, Mama Shen gasped, you must know that the Tong family can be said to be the biggest honor guard of the fourth elder brother outside, if this matter really happens, the blow to the fourth elder brother is not ordinary.
"Mother, do you want to? However, the young lady of the Tong family is only nine years old now, and if she wants to enter Yuqing Palace, I am afraid that it will take several years of hard work, this matter? “
"It doesn't matter, after a few years of hard work, almost long live the lord will build a palace for a few adult princes, when the time comes, Yinzhen will definitely take Tong Jia's hands away in the palace, just right, you can go down and prepare now, be sure to let the daughter of the Tong family attract the attention of the prince, the palace will not believe it, as the eldest brother and the third elder brother get older and older, the authority is getting bigger and bigger, and the prince will not have the slightest idea in his heart."
"Not to mention anything else, the prince's fear of the fourth child has never decreased, if you can take this opportunity to reduce the power of the fourth child, I'm afraid the prince will be very happy, a few years, I think, it shouldn't be a problem to do this, right?" As she spoke, Concubine De glanced at Mama Shen deeply.
Looking at Concubine De's deep eyes, Mama Shen's heart trembled violently, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
"Fourth, fourth, this palace is here to see, without the Tong family, will you still take the dead man of Tong Jia's family to heart." As she spoke, a cold smile appeared on Concubine De's face, like a cold winter wind.
