Qingrong waited for news and didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, Song Zhao got up and saw Qingrong's eyes red, and couldn't help sighing: "I remember that you and Runrong were not so good when they were young. ”

Qingrong had the intention of laughing with Song Zhao, so he hurriedly asked people to pack their luggage and prepare the carriage to return to the Wei State Mansion.

As soon as Qingrong and Song Zhao entered the door, they asked Mei Rui to inquire and ask Song Ling, who entered the palace together yesterday, about the haunting of the palace.

Song Zhao saw that she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so he was a little relieved, and he didn't rush to Fenghe Courtyard immediately, but accompanied Qingrong back to Haitang Courtyard.

After a short time, Mei Rui inquired about it and said, "The eldest girl and the second girl were left in the palace and did not come out all night. ”

Qingrong was a little relieved at this time, so he got up and said to Song Zhao: "Let's go and say hello to my grandmother together, and see what is going on in the third room." ”

Song Zhao smiled coldly and sneered: "The queen of Southern Xinjiang, if she really has such a good opportunity to smash on the head of the third room, I am afraid that the third wife will not be happy." ”

Although the third lady is a very small person, Qingrong doesn't think she can let go of her own flesh and blood.

Because the two girls in the second and third rooms were left in the palace all night, the people of the Song family were all in the main room at this time. These people have been talking for a while.

Seeing Song Zhao and Qingrong enter the door, Tang smiled and sighed strangely: "Yo, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are back." ”

Qingrong ignored the Tang family, and stepped forward to salute the prince and the old lady respectfully.

Old Madam Jiang asked Qingrong, "Is your sister going back?" ”

Qingrong shook his head, "I said that I wanted to stay in the palace for one night." ”

The second lady frowned, "What is the idea of fighting in the palace?" Even if the envoys of southern Xinjiang were angry that the emperor hurriedly promised the princess, but now that the marriage has been decided, they don't want fat candidates in southern Xinjiang. What are you doing in the palace where you are still detaining our girls? ”

Old Madam Jiang pondered, and said quietly, "Look at it like this, the emperor doesn't plan to send the real Princess Yongping to Southern Xinjiang." ”

Song Dingtou, although the emperor's attitude is not yet clear, but the actions in the palace can only mean this.

"The emperor and Concubine Li Guifei want to replace Li Zhuang?" Qingrong's heart was cold, and his eyelids couldn't stop jumping. If the emperor and Concubine Li Guifei really fought this idea, Runrong was probably the most dangerous.

Just by taking the emperor to marry her to Song Zhao, it can be seen that although Mrs. Fengguo is the emperor's savior, she and Runrong are cheap granddaughters who are not valued by the emperor. In the end, in the eyes of the emperor, they were only adopted by Mrs. Fengguo, not their own, so as long as the concubine said a word, the emperor could take them unscrupulously to fill the muzzle.

The second lady said: "This can't be done! The second lady vehemently refused.

Wei Guogong was very calm and said: "At the moment, everything is still inconclusive, not to mention that there is still a queen in the palace." ”

Qingrong doesn't care whether the daughter of the Song family will be chosen, whether it is the eldest girl Song Ai or the second girl Song Ling, she doesn't care. But it can't be moistened.

Who knows what the situation is like in southern Xinjiang, let alone leaving his hometown or marrying instead. Even if she is the queen of southern Xinjiang, there is a Tatar queen mother on it.

The Song family had a morning meeting, but there was no good way. In the end, it was decided that the Duchess of the Kingdom would come forward to hand over the post to the queen and ask the queen to summon her.

In the afternoon of the same day, the queen sent someone to summon her. Qingrong entered the palace with Mrs. Jiang and the third lady.

When the three of them arrived at the Middle Palace, they saw that Song Ai and Song Ling were both there. Everyone asked for a salute, the queen gave a seat, and then retreated left and right, leaving only the people of the Song family to speak.

"When you leave the palace, take the two children back." The queen's voice spoke calmly.

Qingrong was uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say anything at the moment.

The third lady hesitated: "Li Guifei announced that she came in, and I heard that the people of all families were also detained in the palace, let's take it back like this, will it be difficult for the queen mother." ”

With Song Zhao's previous words, Qingrong really heard a vague unwillingness from the third lady's tone at this time.

The queen raised her eyebrows, with the majesty that a mother of the country should have, and said: "No matter how bad I am, I am still the queen of Daliang, and there is no reason for my niece to marry her daughter." ”

Old Madam Jiang also nodded solemnly, "It doesn't make sense that the glory and wealth are all given to Concubine Li, but what kind of difficult and unfortunate thing makes us come forward." If the emperor really dares to let the daughter of our Song family take over her relatives, the old woman will fight for this old life, and she will discuss this reason with the emperor. ”

The Song family was naturally aggrieved, and the emperor asked to marry the queen in order to get the support of the Song family. As a result, after ascending the throne, he turned all his favor and glory to Concubine Li. The queen has no reputation, but after Concubine Li Guifei became uncrowned, she bullied people part-time.

Qingrong asked the queen for confirmation again: "Niangniang, the reason why Li Guifei detained the girls of various families, could it be that Li Guifei had already expressed her intention yesterday?" Is it that in the end, no one is willing to marry Princess Yongping, so they have to use both soft and hard to force one out? ”

"Yes, the people who come are not stupid, and they know that it is extremely risky to leave their hometown and marry in southern Xinjiang. Even if you have the glory and wealth of the sky, you must think about whether you can afford your life. The queen looked up at Qingrong.

"When will the girls who have been summoned into the palace be able to leave the palace?"

The queen's gaze deepened as she stared at Qingrong, and said, "I don't know about this, but I guess it's going to be difficult in the short term." ”

There was a look of approval in his eyes. This girl looks young, but she can see things very clearly, and she can see the idea at once.

Qingrong asked this to clarify the beginning and end of the matter.

First of all, Concubine Li Guifei invited people into the palace and asked about her intentions in person, because she didn't want to give each family a chance to discuss countermeasures. I think that after the person is selected, he will stay in the palace and become the princess of Yongping directly.

Secondly, the attitude of the envoys in southern Xinjiang is very tough, and the emperor must also marry this family. Princess Yongping's peace with southern Xinjiang is already a certainty and irreversible. And inevitably, just like the previous leak of Princess Yongping's Fengtai son-in-law, this time the matter of the substitute will not be spread at all.

It can be seen that the matter of harmony is imminent, and there is not much time left, maybe the southern Xinjiang mission will take Princess Yongping away in a few days or half a month.

The emperor and the concubine didn't have enough time to react and respond, so they hurriedly invited these girls into the palace yesterday. If it is not expected, I am afraid that the emperor will quickly put a sloppy eye on this matter today.

Sure enough, before Qingrong and them left the palace, a palace maid came to report to the queen, saying that it was from Li Guifei's palace that Li Guifei wanted to choose a concubine for the six princes. Then, some people said that the emperor issued a clear edict of harmony.

In this way, it can be understood that Princess Yongping wanted to take a look at her younger brother's imperial concubine candidate before she was married.

If it weren't for someone in the palace who knew the inside story, or someone like Song Ding who discussed with the emperor, who would have thought that a noble person like the emperor and the concubine would use such insidious means to calculate the courtiers.

When Mrs. Jiang heard such news, she couldn't help but sneer: "I thought that our emperor, was just a person who did nothing. But I didn't expect that he was a mediocre talent who couldn't get on the stage. ”

The queen also said disdainfully: "He can make orders openly, and he can also convince people." It's really a big deal to do such a thing now. ”

The emperor and Concubine Li Guifei did this, it was a fraud at all!

Qingrong doesn't quite understand, after all, the emperor has been the number one leader of the country for more than 30 years, why is the pattern so small?

In the previous life, let alone the chairman of the Central Committee, I am afraid that even the general manager of their company is not as good.

"Mother, can I go and see my sister?"

Song Ai and Song Ling's crisis has been lifted, Qingrong really doesn't have the heart to hear them say about the emperor and Concubine Li anymore, she just wants to see Runrong now and ask her about the matter clearly.

The queen was a little embarrassed and said, "Now these ladies of the family are all placed in the Nanxun Palace, and they are being watched by the concubine's people. I've already gone to ask for someone, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get you in. What's more, according to the meaning of the emperor and Concubine Li now, they may not let people in again, and there will be extraneous branches. ”

Qingrong Zhen lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "Can you please ask Niangniang's people to send me to Liushang, Mrs. Fengguo?" At this time, Mrs. Fengguo should not have left the palace yet. ”

Old Madam Jiang helped Qingrong and said to the queen: "She is thinking about her sister, so you will send a little palace maid to send her to find Mrs. Fengguo, and their ancestors and grandchildren can also discuss!" ”

The queen is indispensable, nodded in response, and immediately ordered the palace maids around her to let the palace maids who were in charge of sprinkling and cleaning outside the courtyard accompany Qingrong on a trip.

The queen is so cautious, it can be seen that these years have been really difficult.

As soon as he left the middle palace, he met the five princes.

Qingrong greeted him and left, but was stopped by the five princes.

"Where are you going?"

Qingrong said respectfully: "I want to go to Mrs. Fengguo to see if I can go to Nanxun Palace." ”

The fifth prince frowned, and reminded Qingrong: "I can't enter the Nanxun Hall now, if you are looking for Mrs. Fengguo, it is better to go to the old man with her to beg the imperial grandmother to see if you can go to the queen mother to meet." ”

Qingrong was very surprised by the sudden reminder of the fifth prince, and was stunned for a moment, before nodding, and when Xie turned his head and was about to leave.

The fifth prince stopped Qingrong again and said, "If you take people out, let Mrs. Fengguo take them out of the palace directly, and don't send them back to Nanxun Palace." ”

This is a good idea, even if Mrs. Fengguo really takes Runrong away, because there are plenty of alternatives, I am afraid that the emperor will not ask Mrs. Fengguo for such a small matter, and it will pass with one eye and one eye closed.

Her heart was suddenly much lighter than just now, and she said thank you three times in succession, and then hurriedly followed the palace maid to Mrs. Fengguo.

As soon as he saw Mrs. Fengguo, Qingrong told him what he heard in the queen's palace. Although Mrs. Fengguo didn't know the reason, she guessed most of it, and immediately led Qingrong to the Queen Mother.

Seeing the Queen Mother, the two did not explain the reason, but only told the Queen Mother that there was an important matter related to the hot spring hall, and they wanted to ask Runrong.

The Queen Mother didn't ask what was going on, and ordered someone to summon her.

As a result, the person who went only brought the personal chief manager around the emperor, but he didn't see Runrong.
