Chapter 159: Power and Conspiracy (2)
Yuan Hong drove the expedition in person, and during his departure from Beijing, he ordered the crown prince Yuan Sui to perform the responsibility of supervising the country, and was assisted by Rencheng Wang Yuancheng, Xianyang Wang Yuanxi and Taifu Muliang, Young Fu Li Chong and others.
Although Yuan Xi is loyal to the king, he is an arrogant and lascivious person. got the opportunity of the emperor to leave Beijing, right Zhaoyi Li and his father Li Chong went to Yuanxi's favor, offered a huge amount of gold and beauties to Yuanxi, and led Li Chong's eldest son Li Yanshi and Yuanxi to form a friendship of eight worships, and did their best to win over.
When Yuan Hong was leaving, he specially announced the Li family's audience and asked him to take care of Zuo Zhaoyi's mother and daughter. Although the Li family hated in his heart, he did not dare to disobey the king's orders, and he did not dare to be slacking off in the slightest. Even though the Li family is treacherous, but because of the emperor's instructions, the mother and daughter of Yu Lailai have been safe and sound.
Now that the queen has received the phoenix seal and is grounded in the Jiaokun Palace, the concubines in the palace have to save the matter of greeting the Jiaokun Palace every day, and He is more and more not interacting with everyone in the palace. The queen lost power, his wife Yuan also lost her backer, and her daughter Liu was not favored in front of the prince, and Yuan was depressed all day long, and she couldn't afford to be ill ever since.
On this day, the second prince Yuan Ke and the fifth prince Yuan Huai returned from studying in Licai Yuan, and they just left their steps, and the two of them hurried to the inner hall.
The Yuan Ke brothers and sisters are now getting closer and closer to He, and they have unconsciously changed their names to "A-Niang", and He also regards the three brothers and sisters as if they were their own and loves them very much.
Yuan Ke and Yuan Huai bowed to He, then gathered around the bed and teased Yuan Shu who was practicing turning over with Yuan Ying.
He looked at the two pairs of children in front of him, and felt satisfied.
After the palace servants prepared dinner, the nurses took Yuan Shu back to the side hall, and He also led the Yuan Ke brothers and sisters to the side hall for dinner.
The mother and son sat together, and Wang and Jixiang stood on both sides to distribute vegetables for everyone.
Yuan Huai ate a mouthful of fish soup and said to Wang: "The fish soup made by Granny Wang is very delicious, and the small kitchen of Li Caiyuan for lunch today also made fish soup, but it is far less than this." ”
Wang Shi said with a smile: "The five princes praise the slaves, and the small kitchens in this Licai Garden are all skilled craftsmen of the Shang Diet Department, how can the slaves be compared with them?" ”
Before Yuan Huai could speak, Yuan Ke took over and said: "No, although they are good at cooking the world's dishes, they are not as attentive as Granny Wang, so they feel different when they eat them." ”
Wang Shi added fish soup for the two brothers, and said with a smile: "If the two princes don't give up, the slave will often make this fish soup for the two of you." ”
The two brothers nodded in response, and then heard Yuan Ke speak again: "Auntie, if Granny Wang makes fish soup again, can you allow her son to bring some to Licai Garden?" ”
He smiled and said: "Now that the prince is regent, and he no longer goes to Licai Yuan to study, then you are the chief of all the princes." If you bring food to the Garden, then everyone in the Garden will follow suit, won't it break the rules? In the future, I will order Sister-in-law Wang to make fish soup for dinner, and you and Huai'er can eat it when they return from school, do you think so? ”
Yuan Ke lowered his head and said: "Ah Niang, my son is not greedy, but at this time, he suddenly remembered the words of the third elder brother at lunch today, and wanted to bring some fish soup to him..."
He was stunned when he heard Yuan Ke's words, but he didn't want to interrupt Yuan Ke, so he just waited for him to continue. I only heard Yuan Ke then said: "The third elder brother has a mother to take care of, and he only thinks that the diet of Li Caiyuan is not good, but now he is no longer picky... Today, I ate fish soup, and I disregarded the palace rules and used two bowls in a row... The son felt strange in his heart, so he privately inquired about the third elder brother, and only then did he know that Right Zhaoyi had little supply of Qingyang Palace fish in recent days on the grounds that Mrs. Yuan had a light diet because she was sick. ”
After Yuan Ke finished speaking, He frowned slightly, and said: "Although Mrs. Yuan said that she was sick, she had Ziyu who was in the period of prosperity and growth, Ziyu was the heir of His Majesty, the gold was incomparably expensive, and there was still Zhao Concubine in the Qingyang Palace to give birth, how could she be lazy if she should be supplied?" ”
Jixiang on the side answered: "Right Zhaoyi came quickly and acted thoughtfully, how could there be such a mistake?" ”
Wang said: "Mrs. Yuan has been looking forward to the queen for many years, and now that the queen has lost power, how can she not be affected?" ”
He sighed lightly in his heart, and only greeted the Yuan Ke brothers and sisters for dinner, and said no more.
It was the morning of the day, sent Yuan Ke and Yuan Huai brothers to Li Cai Yuan to study, and Yuan Ying's nursing mother led Yuan Ying back to the side hall to practice female red, and instructed the nursing mothers to lead Yuan Shu to the flower garden to bask in the warm sun, and He Fang was served by Wang's family and came to Qingyang Palace.
Yuan was crooked on the bed, losing his former color. Hearing that Zuo Zhaoyi was in person, Yuan struggled to get up and salute, but He hurriedly approached and stopped: "This is the inner hall of the lady, and there is no one else on the side, so the lady does not need to salute." ”
Looking at Yuan's appearance, He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
Yuan gently pulled the corner of He's clothes, motioned for He to sit down beside him, Fang smiled bitterly, and said: "Now that the gate of Qingyang Palace is full of birds, and the eldest concubine Zheng who lives with the concubine in the palace has also invited Right Zhaoyi to move to Changxia Palace, leaving only the concubine and Zhao Concubine here and no one cares, how can Zuo Zhaoyi deign to come?" ”
He looked at Yuan and said: "I rarely go out of the Yonghe Hall on weekdays, and yesterday I knew that Mrs. Yuan had been ill for many days, and I only came to visit at this time, which is really rude for me." ”
Yuan shook his head and said, "Looking at the palace full of flowers, but the human affection is extremely weak... Zuo Zhaoyi was able to visit Concubine Yu today, and she was already waiting for her concubine to be benevolent and righteous. ”
He was relieved: "Maybe the weather is getting hotter, and the sisters are tired and don't want to move..."
Yuan shook his head and said quietly: "Zuo Zhaoyi doesn't need to comfort Concubine Yu... The concubine has been in the palace for many years, how can she not know the warmth and coldness of the people in the palace? The concubine is not as reliable as the mother's family, and she has been shaded by the queen over the years, so she has a place, and now that His Majesty wants to abolish it, how can the concubine not suffer from the pond fish? Between the words, Yuan had burst into tears.
He hurriedly took out a brocade from his sleeve, gently wiped away his tears for Yuan, and said, "Mrs. Yuan is too worried... You are one of the three ladies, and you have a child for Your Majesty, how can you..."
Before he could speak, Yuan interrupted: "Zuo Zhaoyi, you are still young when you entered the palace, and you have the grace of Your Majesty, so you don't know the sinister nature of people's hearts in this deep palace..."
Looking at He, Yuan begged again: "Zuo Zhaoyi, the concubine knows that you are a good person, the concubine is not for herself now, only Zhao Concubine is about to give birth, the concubine begs Zuo Zhaoyi to read the dragon fetus in Zhao Concubine's womb, come forward to show her feelings to Right Zhaoyi, and order the Shang Diet Department to send some nourishing meals to Zhao Concubine to Qingyang Palace..."
He Hu said suspiciously: "The birth of a concubine in the palace is an urgent matter, how can the Shang Diet Department be negligent in its duties?" ”
Yuan sighed and said: "Right Zhaoyi is now in charge of the palace, and the voice of the future is becoming louder, which of the various agencies is not extremely welcome?" ”
After a pause, Yuan continued: "The concubine has followed the queen all these years, and she is the head of the queen... When the queen was in power, she was willful and unpopular, and she had a quarrel with Right Zhaoyi in the old years, and she had hatred, and now that Right Zhaoyi is in power, how can she not wash her shoulders? ”
The Li family usually showed favors, but He didn't know that he would retaliate wantonly. Although He and Li are both Zhaoyi, they have always ignored the trivial matters in the palace, and at this time, when they heard Yuan's words, they felt ashamed, so they said: "You are so good to be born and recuperate, don't ask about the rest..."
Yuan took He's hand and said softly: "Zuo Zhaoyi attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and the concubine Minggan is five inside... Only Zuo Zhaoyi should be careful of those who have knives in their laughter..."
Seeing that He was silent, Yuan continued: "The concubine is a person who is about to die, and there is no need to talk to Zuo Zhaoyi about right and wrong... Right Zhaoyi looks gentle and respectful, and he will smile when talking to people, but in fact, he is a person with a sweet belly and a sword... Now that he is in power, he wants people to be attached to him, and only the concubine has been following the queen for a long time, so he can no longer be used for him, and he will fall into it. Zuo Zhaoyi will guard against his tricks in the palace in the future..."
