Qingrong followed the person into the palace and was directly taken to the imperial study. The emperor and Concubine Li were there, and when they saw Qingrong, both of them smiled very kindly.

The emperor was extremely concerned and said: "Mrs. Fengguo said that you had a cold a few days ago, and you didn't even come to the previous palace banquet, are you feeling better?" ”

Qingrong couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she didn't think that the emperor really cared about her, on the contrary, he sensed a hint of conspiracy in the emperor's attitude.

Li Guifei said: "How old is Qingrong this year?" ”

Qingrong smiled and replied respectfully: "Nineteen." ”

Concubine Li Guifei covered her lips and complimented: "You are not young, compared to the first time we met in Jinan, but you have grown up a lot, but this palace looks, you still look like a little girl." It can be seen that those things in the Hui Quality Essence House are really good. ”

The emperor followed with a smile and said, "Nineteen? It's my negligence, it's been almost three years since you and Song Zhaohe separated. ”

Qingrong's heart jumped, and he naturally guessed the meaning of the emperor's words. She didn't dare to have any emotions on her face, she only lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Concubine Li Guifei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Qingrong's dedication in the past few years, it is better to give Qingrong another good marriage." ”

Qingrong couldn't help but secretly scold Concubine Li for being nosy.

The emperor seemed to smile and said: "Song Zhao has won a big victory in Liaozhou, which can be regarded as a meritorious service, and with growth, it is better for me to be the master, how about you get back together?" ”

Qingrong knew that this was not the emperor's intention at all, temptation, temptation, endless temptation.

"Thank you for the kindness of Emperor Xie and Niangniang, Song Shizi and I have not violated the river water, and I made peace with him at the beginning, not just because he did not grow. I don't plan to remarry in my life, I just want to be by my grandmother's side and do my filial piety. ”

Li Guifei said: "Qingrong is really a filial person, who can marry her as a daughter-in-law, it is really blessed." It's just a pity that I don't have any more sons. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "This may not be, how about the crown prince's concubine?" ”

Concubine Li Guifei said happily and worriedly: "Of course the prince's side concubine is good, but I am only afraid that I will be wronged." ”

The emperor said: "What's wrong with this, in the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, Qingrong is at least the position of the concubine, and it is really one person under ten thousand people." ”

Qingrong's heart was shocked, and the two of them now mentioned this like cross talk, which shows that they really moved their minds.

Xiao Jun?

That ruthless straw bag mom Bao Prince, don't even think about it!

Qingrong bowed her head silently, she has been in the palace for so many years, and she really understands the tilt of power, not that she can say no. The kindness of the emperor and Concubine Li Guifei, there was no room for her to refuse, she could only kneel down and thank her.

Today's crown princess is the former Marshal of Zhengbei, Li Wende's sister-in-law, and Li Guifei's niece. Li Wende lost the battle and was captured for delaying the military plane, defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and when he came back, he was only demoted by the blood lord and banned for life. The crown princess opened her eyes and told nonsense, saying that her brother was also serving the country and was victimized by traitors, which meant that the king of Liao united with Song Zhao to harm the court officials.

The emperor was blind and deaf, and he didn't notice that the Li family was so fearless under his connivance.

Qingrong but feels that after a long time, there must be a bigger mess waiting for the beam.

The emperor and Concubine Li Guifei had been talking for so long, turned his head to look at Qingrong, and asked, "Qingrong, what do you think of the crown princess?" ”

Qingrong lowered his head and said humbly: "My status is humble, I'm afraid I can't climb high." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "If I say I can climb high, I can climb high." ”

Qingrong lowered his eyebrows and said obediently, "Yes", as if the emperor was in charge.

Li Guifei didn't expect Qingrong to speak so well, she was quite surprised, and immediately got up to pull Qingrong's hand, pushed down a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Qingrong's hand, and said: "If you are willing to be the prince's side concubine, if there is anything good in the future, this palace will definitely think of you first." This palace assures you that you will be treated equally. ”

Qingrong smiled slightly and said, "The grace of the emperor and the concubine, I only have the share of gratitude." But there is only one point, I hope that this plan will be delayed by the emperor. If it's too urgent, I'm afraid the princess will misunderstand. I thought that the emperor and the noble concubine Niangniang were angry with the crown princess because of the relationship between Marshal Li, and deliberately stuffed people into the East Palace. I'm afraid that the crown princess will feel uncomfortable, and I won't have a good time entering the East Palace. If there is a fire in the prince's backyard, how can he help the emperor deal with political affairs, I am afraid that sooner or later others will see the joke. ”

Although Qingrong's remarks were a procrastination strategy, what he said was justified and well-founded.

Of course, Li Guifei didn't want to embarrass her niece too much, and the emperor didn't want to embarrass the Li family and Li Guifei too much, of course, he had to wait for this matter to pass before mentioning the matter of letting Qingrong enter the East Palace.

After seeing the emperor and Concubine Li Guifei, Qingrong still went to Li Zhaoyi's palace.

After Li Jingruo gave birth to the Seventh Prince, her status rose more and more, although she was in Zhaoyi's position, she enjoyed the treatment of a concubine. In the past few years, she has started to rectify, and her palace has been much cleaner, and she has even cultivated her own ear report, and she is really a talent.

As soon as Qingrong arrived at Li Jingruo's place, Li Jingruo only let her personal henchmen wait on the side.

When there was no one around, Li Jingruo whispered while doing yoga with Qingrong: "Concubine Li Guifei is pleading with the emperor and wants you to be the prince's concubine." ”

Qingrong let out a low "um" and said, "I've already told me." ”

Li Jingruo turned her head in surprise, "I thought the emperor still had to think about it, but I told you today?" ”

Qingrong sighed lightly and said, "Most likely to test me." ”

Li Jingruo turned her head to look at Qingrong's expression and asked, "Temptation?" The emperor didn't make an order? ”

Qingrong nodded silently.

Li Jingruo said: "What do you think, agreed?" ”

Qingrong smiled helplessly, "Do I have room for opposition?" ”

Li Jingruo couldn't do it, so she turned around and crossed her knees and said to Qingrong: "The prince can't do it, our prince is not only short-sighted, but also self-respecting, but also a violent and ruthless master." The crown princess is very pampered and uneasy. If you enter the East Palace, I'm afraid there will be no bones left to be tortured by these two people. What's more, there is still Song Shizi. ”

Qingrong was a little in a trance, and said, "I dragged this matter over." ”

Li Jingruo sneered: "Actually, the emperor was picked up by Concubine Li, and I didn't understand it for a while. Li Jingruo said, and then approached Qingrong and said: "Concubine Li Guifei heard about Liaozhou from the mouth of the Li family, and it was also General Nayuan who killed a thousand knives, and said to the emperor that your support for Liaozhou this time is very great." He also said that what kind of artillery and what kind of face are all your handiwork, and you are very popular in the Liaozhou army. ”

Qingrong couldn't help frowning, and he won the hearts of the people.

Li Jingruo whipped into the inside for Qingrong and analyzed: "The King of Liao and the Princess of Liao are also popular in Liaozhou, this time the King of Liao led the army to resist desperately, and it is said that he is very loved by the people of Liaozhou." Concubine Li Guifei went to provoke, saying that if you marry the prince, the prince will be able to borrow your light. What's more, everything in Liaozhou was thought up with your brain. ”

Qingrong smiled, "It is normal for the emperor to want to balance the power on both sides. He is now jealous of the King of Liao, so he wants to arm the crown prince and make the two sides balanced. ”

"So the emperor couldn't figure it out for a while," Li Jingruo seemed to be very disapproving, "No matter how good the King of Liao is, he is just a prince, but the prince is not." put such a key person as you and sent it to the East Palace, the prince's ambition, the emperor is not unaware. When the time comes, the crown prince will not only win the hearts of the people of Liaozhou, but also the hearts of the people of Ganshan, Lianghuai, and Liangguang. The military martyrs' family assistance program is no joke. I know how loud it is now. Liaozhou was originally the fief of the King of Liao, and what big waves could it get, even if there were waves, it would be unjustifiable. But the prince is different, whatever the prince does, he is justified. ”

Qingrong couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "The emperor seems to have forgotten about this matter. When Qingrong said this, he couldn't help but whisper to Li Jingruo, and said, "Let the crown princess know the seriousness of this matter, and let their Li family make trouble with the Li family themselves." ”

Li Jingruo hesitated a little, and reminded Qingrong: "That's a difficult master, if you provoke her out, I don't know how to torture you!" ”

Qingrong said: "Just let her come, and make this matter as big as possible." lest I really enter the East Palace in the future, so that she can justifiably test me! ”

Li Jingruo smiled, and comforted Qingrong again: "If she comes to make trouble, the matter will not be trivial, and the whole capital will know about it!" ”

Sure enough, half a month later, under Li Jingruo's careful spread, the crown princess heard the news that the emperor and Li Guifei intended to seal Shen Qingrong as a side concubine.

After hearing about this, the crown princess first went to Concubine Li's palace to verify the situation.

Concubine Li was very surprised, and asked the princess seriously, "How do you know?" ”

The crown princess wiped her tears from her eyes and said, "There is nothing in the palace that you don't know." The palace people are talking about this in private, but only I don't know, I am kept in the dark. Mother, what do you mean by this, but because of my brother......"

Li Guifei frowned and said: "What nonsense, your brother is your brother, you are you!" What's more, it was not his fault that Liaozhou was defeated and captured, it was the cunning of King Liao and Song Zhao. You're being heard from people outside! ”

The crown princess said: "Then why do you want to stuff people into the East Palace?" Are there still few goblins around the prince? ”

Li Guifei scolded the crown princess and said, "What are you talking about!" What goblin is not a goblin, this is what your crown princess can say? Who are they, what are you? Moreover, even if Shen Qingrong enters the East Palace, that identity will not be able to surpass you. ”

When the crown princess heard this, she couldn't help sneering and said, "Sure enough, you really want to stuff Shen Qingrong into the East Palace." ”

Concubine Li Guifei patiently persuaded: "Sending Shen Qingrong into the East Palace is very beneficial to the crown prince. Shen Qingrong has a very good relationship with the noblewomen in Beijing because of the Hui Quality Essence House and the Foundation, and if she can be returned to the prince, the prince will be able to win more and more popularity. It's not that you don't know that the case of the girl's disappearance was turned out twice in three days to tell the story, openly and secretly attacking the prince. ”

The crown princess did not realize the importance of taking care of the overall situation in Li Guifei's persuasion, but understood a truth better, Shen Qingrong was more useful to the prince, so it was easier to threaten her position.
