The Conspiracy Behind the Conspiracy (Part I)

+++===+++

"Oh?!" Yiyi was surprised: "What does Wanning need me to help with?" ”

Wan Ning is now the chief steward of Baekhuatang, which has added two new branches in Gyeonggi Province to house orphans who were homeless after the snowstorm last winter and orphans and widows who were left unemployed by the war during the Yixiang Rebellion. These children, women and children will always have something to do. The brother wanted his brother to help him with the year-round needlework of the front pulse camp so that they could be self-sufficient. ”

Yiyi laughed: "People came to slap my prince, either for fame and fortune, or for gold and silver interests, you two are good, one is the closest brother, the other is the mentor and military advisor who was lonely back then, but for a group of ordinary people, orphans and widows, they begged to come to this prince." ”

He looked at the women around him, smiled and shook his head gently: "Many people wonder why Prince Ben is close to Xinjie, and why he has always been willing to treat Wanning as a confidant to compete with Yixiang back then, just because the two of you never think about how to seek personal gain." As a woman, Wanning never thought of using her beauty and talent to fight for a high position for herself in the palace. Brother, this prince is very jealous of you, and with this confidante, you can be with you for a lifetime. As brothers, as friends, I wish you all to grow old together. ”

Concubine Yan looked at the bright woman coldly, Even if she disappeared, Yiyi never forgot it, Now that she is back, she can still be so lucky to have her own husband, and she can still occupy a place in Yiyi's heart. Her hand clenched into a fist in her sleeve and it took a long time to let go.

As everyone continued to talk, he took out a small jade gourd from his sleeve and came to Wan Ning: "Ning'er, this is what you landed in the palace back then, I thought you wouldn't come back, so I stayed by my side and wanted to make a thought." I can see you today, and the prince said before, I hope you will come and move around often, and I think that there will be a lot of times when our sisters can meet, so that we don't have to be stupid to see things and think about people. So I'm going to bring this to you today. ”

"What is this?" Yiyi asked curiously, and glanced at Concubine Yan with a deep eye, this woman actually still had something hidden from Ning'er. The other women next to her all looked at Concubine Yan with envy. This Concubine Yan is really capable, not only can she be the first woman in the prince's mansion, but she can also win over Zhou Wanning, who the prince likes.

"This is when the concubine was sick in the palace, Sister Wanning gave me medicine. At that time, I took medicine and gradually improved, but before I could return this thing to my sister, my sister left the palace. Although my sister has been in the prince's mansion all these years, I still miss the days when I got along with my sister day and night. I often take it out and look at it, as if my sister is still with us. As he spoke, he felt a little sad, and his eyes were stained with mist, and he looked really pitiful. Although the women around her knew that she was fake, it was hard to guarantee that the prince would not be moved, and they secretly glanced at the Venerable, and it seemed that they were really moved.

Concubine Yan took a deep breath, seemed to snort, and pretended to smile: "Let my sister see and laugh." My sister is afraid that she wants to scold us again, regardless of the occasion, and she is not sensible. Sister: I really miss the days when my sister taught us. After my sister left, not only did no one care about us, but even the Queen Mother didn't like to talk anymore. Now, we can see each other more often in the future. If my sister could stay with us for a few days, go in and out together, and talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often, let us reminisce about the good times of the year. ”

Concubine Yan glanced at Yiyi with a smile when she said this, Yiyi just smiled, but she didn't see Tang Sanshao's brows frowning a little.

Wanning also frowned slightly, what does this mean? Although she was easy-going with the palace maids around her in the palace back then, after all, she spent most of her time on medical skills and various books, and she still had time to help the Queen Mother deal with the affairs of the prince. The things that were originally sent to Aokien today have already made the relationship between her husband and her safe, and now you want to brush it again? Is this a deliberate attempt by Concubine Yan to respond to her or is there another reason? She looked at her husband frankly and smiled slightly, and Xinjie instantly relaxed her brows when she saw this. No matter what measurement is used by outsiders, it should not disturb the heart-to-heart between him and Lian'er.

But the first few women around were a little unhappy at this time. What does this Yan Fang Concubine want to do? Do you want to pull the woman of the Tang family to consolidate her favor and let the prince see Concubine Yan more? Or does Concubine Yan want to send this woman to the prince's bed?

Concubine Chen grinned: "Sister Yan, I'm afraid you're going to offend people by saying this." It is rumored outside that Tang San Shao is very fond of our female official Zhou, and you let her come to us often, but I am afraid that Tang San will have less time to see Mrs. ”

Tong Meiren hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes." The three young and the three young grandmothers are deeply affectionate, which makes people envious! ”

The prince laughed, and reached out to help the silk flower on Tong Meiren's head: "Are you envious of the third brother and younger siblings?" Or do you turn around the corner and scold me for not loving you enough? ”

A group of people tacitly pretended to talk and laugh with each other for a while. A scene of harmony and joy here naturally spread to the queen's palace, Lan pursed his lips and took a deep breath, Although he was angry, he really couldn't do anything to them for a while.

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and then was ordered by the prince to disperse, saying that he wanted to discuss piano skills with Xinjie and Wanning, and he didn't want to be disturbed by too many people. Everyone had no choice but to retreat first, and Yiyi led them to the water pavilion that had been prepared long ago.

When I came to the water pavilion, there was actually the piano that Wanning used to use in the palace on the table. The prince picked it up casually, then took out a stack of sheet music and handed it to Xinjie. "After you left last time, I thought about it for a long time, tried many times, changed a lot of things, and I think it should be okay now. Why don't we try it today, you can take this set of sheet music back and try it yourself, I forgot, you have a master by your side. Ning'er's mother was a famous Jiangnan music queen back then, and her family background coupled with her talent and intelligence made her more clever than us in composing music. Oh, by the way, I'll give you a good piano. Come, go to the study, and bring the piano with flowing clouds and silk in the cupboard to Grandma Cousin. I'll give you the qin, anyway, I still have a few Hu people here to pay tribute. You can take it back and play with my brother. There are flowing clouds and silk, which were commonly used by the prince himself back then, not used by Ning'er, why this one? Although she vaguely felt that something was wrong in her heart, the expression on her face did not change.

"Xinjie, do you remember a long time ago, you asked me which musician taught me to play the piano so well, and I once told you that it was one of my best friends who used to be in the palace, and she not only taught me to play the piano, but also taught me many other things, especially how to make myself more lenient and able to tolerate setbacks. And the piano she taught me was my only solution, my only companion when I was always sad and troubled. It was her piano and she who taught me to see the positive side of life, otherwise I wouldn't know if I would have been able to come through it on those dark days. You know who I'm talking about by now, right? You kid, to be able to marry my master, you really don't know that you cultivated it all your life, cherish this fate. After the prince had said this, both men turned to her at the same time and looked deeply at her. I will. Xinjie said with a smile. Although Lian'er knew what she loved in her heart, the doubts brought about by the things given to her by the prince forced her to scruple and re-examine her past interactions with him, and her heart began to feel a little apprehensive. The gazes of the two men made it impossible for her to escape, but fortunately, at this time, the subordinate sent Qin over, so that she had a good cover.

"Master, look at this handy, why don't you play a song for us." It's a deliberate trick on people. "His Royal Highness the Prince, I've been lazy lately, I haven't practiced for a long time, so let's wait for me to go back and practice." Having said that, the piano was still attractive to her, and after a little fiddling, she found some feeling, but she really wasn't in the mood to play the piano in front of these two men. "What song did you two originally work on?"

"It's a hybrid, and the precedent is "Bamboo Edge." Lian'er's heart sank, this was made up when she was in the palace. She really wasn't sure what the prince's purpose was. "After I see this, I'd better leave it to the two of you to meet, and I'll be the audience." To be an audience, what does that mean? Blessings to them?

Suddenly, he changed the conversation again: "I heard that your house was super lively last night, hahaha." Lian'er and Xinjie glanced at each other, only to hear the prince continue: "Brother is very tired from last night, right?!" Don't brag about it today, let's save some energy to spend time with my younger siblings at night, hahaha, I'll let people come up and play, let's go to the opposite hall and sit and listen. ”

When they sat down in the open hall opposite the water pavilion, the prince said, "The other brothers of the Tang family will also come over in a while." She immediately understood what he was trying to do today, and he must have detected something and wanted to discuss it with everyone. This open hall, far from the water pavilion, is also a small path leading into the middle of the water, completely avoiding the possibility of the partition wall having ears. And the sound of music in the pavilion opposite, no one could hear what was being talked about except for those sitting close in the hall.
