Chapter 238: Concubine Shu comes to the door
After tossing and turning the night before, Gu Qingyi got up late again, she had just finished breakfast, and was thinking about whether to go to see Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu took the lead in coming to the door.
Shao Huiwan followed Concubine Shu's side, her expression was gloomy and sullen, and when she saw Gu Qingyi, she smiled reluctantly at that moment, looking preoccupied.
Concubine Shu was completely different from her, with a smile on her face, as soon as she saw Gu Qingyi, she greeted her affectionately, Gu Qingyi returned the half courtesy, and the smile on her face became more and more cheerful, and she greeted, "Princess, you have finally lived in the East Palace, since Your Majesty made the crown prince, I asked the palace people to clean up the East Palace, and also transferred palace people from everywhere, I don't know if you are used to it, what do you need, just tell me, go back and let someone deal with it for you." She paused and said, "There is no queen in the palace, it stands to reason that it is not suitable for me to manage the palace affairs as a concubine after all, otherwise if the crown princess is not too hard, she will take the palace power for me." ”
Sure enough, it is worthy of being a mixed person in the palace, these words not only invited merit and betrayed favors, but also showed that he did not admire the noble quality of power, and put himself in a situation where he could attack and retreat, and it was not simple at all. It is also said that how can a woman who can survive under the Yang clan after the abolition of the abolition be truly a kind person.
Even so, Gu Qingyi had to accept her affection and let Han Dong entertain the guests with tea, before she said, "Where is the lady concubine, you are the old man next to your father, and you are a first-class concubine, why can't you be in charge of palace affairs?" Only one East Palace is enough for me to be busy, where do I dare to take over such a big stall, Concubine Shu will work hard and continue to work hard. "Besides, she is just a daughter-in-law, how can she manage her father-in-law's woman, she is too unsophisticated. Knowing that Concubine Shu was just being humble, she didn't break it, and began to change the topic, "The East Palace is well arranged, relying on Concubine Shu's help, I still want to thank you." ”
Tempted to find out that the crown princess had no intention of seizing power, Concubine Shu happily picked the corners of her mouth, and was modest again and again, even Gu Qingyi opened her mouth to ask for the grandma of Jingtai Palace, she also responded, "It's not worth taking care of a big deal, whoever the princess wants, she just wants to go, you don't have to say hello."
Concubine Shu promised to be generous, but she couldn't do this, otherwise the reputation of the prince would soon spread.
Gu Qingyi's smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and her jealousy of Concubine Shu deepened.
After the politeness on the face was over, Concubine Shu finally explained her intentions, "I'm really embarrassed, I came today to ask for something, and I also asked the princess to help us this time for the sake of me and Huiwan." ”
The smile on Shao Huiwan's face was about to stiffen, Gu Qingyi glanced at her, frowned, and already had a guess in her heart, thinking that it was related to the matter mentioned by His Royal Highness yesterday, King Qi couldn't go through the prince's doorway, this was transferred to the woman's side.
She was a little displeased with King Qi's actions, what kind of man is hiding behind a woman? The pure and sincere boy when I first met became more and more unrecognizable.
She didn't like it in her heart, and because of His Royal Highness's instructions, she didn't want to get involved, so she didn't want to answer, and said perfunctorily, "Concubine Shu thinks too highly of me, although I am the crown princess, but I am just a woman in the inner house, if it is an external matter, it will naturally be solved by the men, and we will not mix." If you are on the side of the female dependents, if you speak, how can anyone not listen to them? ”
The other party was holding her inside and outside the words, and the concubine couldn't show it even if she was unhappy in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this princess looked silent, and she was also a shrewd person. Thinking of this, she glanced at Shao Huiwan on the side, and the meaning of urging was self-evident.
Shao Huiwan's face changed, she sighed slightly, tried not to make her tone difficult, and said slowly, "Crown Princess, you probably also know that the prince of our family and the Xiongnu princess are old acquaintances, he is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to see the Xiongnu princess and her daughter in prison, can you let her out and find another place to guard?" did not break the rules and let go of people, but also fulfilled the friendship of King Qi's old friends, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds. ”
Having said that, Concubine Shu still frowned slightly, and looked at Shao Huiwan with scrutiny, originally wanted to let the crown princess help release her, but now she was changed to another detention in front of her, her daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this selfishness is all on the table.
The paper window was pierced by Shao Huiwan.
Gu Qingyi raised her eyebrows, glanced at Shao Huiwan, and saw the helplessness and wry smile in her eyes, and immediately understood, she was forced - she persuaded her for this matter when King Qi chose the concubine, and there will be such a result now, which can be said to be unexpected, reasonable, and the path she chose can only go down with tears.
No matter which position she stands, she will not agree to this matter, and she simply refused, "The Xiongnu prisoners of war are related to state affairs, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be arbitrary, but His Majesty has always been merciful and will not ask for the life of the captives. ”
Concubine Shu also persuaded her like this, but King Qi seemed to be confused, and she was reluctant to let the Xiongnu princess suffer the slightest grievance, so she had to rescue the Xiongnu princess now, she was so angry that she couldn't eat for this matter, but what could she do? In the end, I didn't have to run for him.
"But if there is any other way, I don't want to embarrass you, the crown princess, but my temperament is really stubborn there, I don't hit the south wall and don't look back, I have to save people, what do you say I should do?" She played an emotional scene, coaxed her eyes and said, "Crown Princess, you have a kind heart, and you reach out to Your Highness to love you, as long as you and Your Highness mention it, it's just a matter of letting go, a Hun princess is just a princess, and it can't affect the overall situation at all." ”
Even if it can't affect the overall situation, why should she and the crown prince take risks for him? He was cheeky, and he forgot how he gave Qin Wangfu a face for the position of the crown prince before.
Gu Qingyi didn't care about any etiquette, she directly lowered her face and said coldly, "When the Xiongnu princess stabbed our royal highness, she was the enemy of the East Palace, and I couldn't do anything to repay my grievances with virtue, no matter if you said that I was ruthless or ruthless, I would just say a word, the East Palace can't take care of the Xiongnu princess's affairs, if you want to rescue people, please ask another master." After finishing speaking, she directly issued an eviction order, "Concubine Shu, Princess Qi, please go back." ”
Concubine Shu had never been so face-slapsed, and her face immediately turned pale, blue and white for a while, and she trembled with embarrassment. Shao Huiwan was secretly relieved, she didn't play until this matter was over, Concubine Shu's family was not prominent, and the grass on the wall that had leaned on because of the competition for the crown prince, after King Qin was established as the crown prince, they all quickly collapsed, and King Qi had no power to maneuver at all, and he had no way to save the Hun princess.
"Mother, Princess Duanyang entered the palace to see you today, it should have arrived at this time, I'm afraid I'm going to make her wait for a long time, let's go back quickly."
Shao Huiwan handed over the steps, but Concubine Shu didn't appreciate it, directly shook off her hand, and said sarcastically with cold eyes, "You don't need to pretend, you can't save people now, are you happy?" I can't even hold a man's heart, what's the use of asking you. ”
actually implicated King Qi's anger over the Hun princess.
Shao Huiwan was embarrassed for a while, her face was hot and painful, Concubine Shu didn't teach her son well, and blamed her for being a wife, where is there such a reason. Besides, men in this world always love to steal, does Concubine Shu still think that all men in the world are like the prince, they don't love women, and they spoil their wives alone? To say a disrespectful word, Concubine Shu couldn't win His Majesty's heart, why did she ask her to win King Qi's heart?
Her heart cooled inch by inch like ashes from burning coal, and she no longer cared about the concubine, and said lightly, "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, the daughter-in-law doesn't have the ability to entrap the prince, and when she goes back, she will select a good family woman for the prince, and with a new person, I think the prince will soon forget the Hun princess." ”
If you still had a dream of harmony between husband and wife and raising eyebrows before, after this incident, there will be no daydreaming.
Concubine Shu should have agreed with Shao Huiwan's words, and her face softened a little, "You should have done this a long time ago, King Qi loves you, and there is no one in the backyard, but as a wife, you should think more about King Qi and arrange more lovely people for him, so naturally you won't think about those indiscriminate women outside." ”
I don't know if it's intentional or not, Concubine Shu said and said, and glanced at Gu Qingyi, thinking about what Fang Cai said, not only to Shao Huiwan, but also to Gu Qingyi, isn't it, the maid of the East Palace is now Gu Qingyi alone, and Concubine Shu is saying that she is jealous and does not tolerate others.
This is in response to her words.
Shao Huiwan was a little embarrassed, and looked at Gu Qingyi apologetically, but Gu Qingyi's heart was calm without a trace of waves, she had heard a lot of these rumors, Concubine Shu's words were nothing at all, she couldn't be angry about it, as long as Her Highness had her in her heart, and looked at the faces of those people who couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.
As for Concubine Shu, her bitterness naturally has King Qi tormenting her, no matter how many women there are, King Qi's fantasy of the Hun princess will not be filled, after all, she is the woman who is tempted for the first time, and what she can't get is the best, I am afraid that it will not stop in the future, and the last person who suffers is the Concubine Shu who wants her son to become a Chan.
She smiled faintly and picked up the teacup, "Someone, send off." ”
Concubine Shu and Shao Huiwan left quickly, Gu Qingyi said to Grandma Sun, who had already taken office, "Mama, please check the details of the people in the East Palace, and then hand it over to me if the results are out." ”
Mama Sun retreated, Gu Qingyi sorted out the mood of being destroyed, and in response to yesterday's promise, she took Xiaotuanzi and Xiaodouzi to the Imperial Garden to play, no matter how many things there are, they are not as important as their families.
