Chapter Ninety-Six: Forming an Alliance

That's great! I followed the little maid and hurried towards the hall.

The concubine sat in the hall surrounded by clouds and mist, gently shaking the pu fan, and the green smoke of spices slowly rose from the incense burner, which had a refreshing soothing and calming effect.

Seeing me walk in, the concubine sat up slightly straight, put down the fan on the table next to her, raised her hand and smiled and motioned for me to sit down.

I stepped forward and bowed respectfully, although I can't say goodbye, but the etiquette is still more thorough, and I still have a request for someone today.

"Qingyi doesn't have to be polite." The concubine raised her hand with a smile, originally I thought that the concubine was the most pungent and arrogant and difficult person to get along with, but at this moment she was the most amiable person.

I looked at the little maid I had brought, and motioned for her to ask the concubine for a pen and paper to show my intentions, and this is the only way I can communicate with others.

The concubine sent someone to get a pen and paper, and then dismissed the maids and guards who were waiting in the room, and the palace maids in the house lined up in a row, walked out in thin steps, and stood in a neat row outside the door.

At the moment, there were only two people left in the room, Dong Guifei and me, and the concubine said with a smile: "You don't have to rush to ask for paper and pencil first, I guess, Qingyi is here today for the matter of Duxue, right?" ”

How would Dong Guifei know? I nodded heavily, nervous.

The concubine smiled lightly, persuaded and said, "Qingyi, I want to persuade you, there are some things that cannot be forced, this Duxue is the daughter of the lord of Dunhuang City, and Dunhuang is a fortress on the road of the Western Regions. If she wants to marry Chang'an, she must be the future queen, so why do you have to fight with her? ”

I'm not trying to fight her! But in the eyes of these outsiders, it is logical that it is justified that it is the happiness of Twilight Snow who is sacrificed for a lifetime! At this moment, the palace maid happened to bring in the paper and pen, and I hurriedly took the paper and pen, lay on the table and began to write.

I didn't want to compete with Twilight for the back position, Twilight was too young, and she was just angry with her to make this decision, and she didn't want to do that!

After reading my words, the concubine Niangniang chuckled again: "You say that, but it's not right, who doesn't want the position above 10,000 people under this person?" You say she's just impulsive, she's just impulsive? You must know that this is a marriage that the Holy Lord personally agreed to in front of the envoys of all nations, and the prince and Duxue are in love with you and me, besides, you have no jokes......"

I just want to come and ask the concubine to help me meet with the saint, and I want to persuade him to take back his fate. This marriage will not only ruin Twilight's life, but also harm others, and I beg the concubine to help me with this!

"Huh, others? Are you referring to the Prince Inurong named Riding Ridge? The concubine asked, "I heard that he was a childhood sweetheart with Twilight before?" ”

I nodded seriously, the concubine Niangniang was thoughtful, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll just say, it turned out that the little couple had a conflict, and they lost their temper here, I thought that this prince Jing Ye actually had such a great ability and took such a beautiful move, which really made me very upset these days." ”

The corners of the concubine's mouth hung a contemptuous smile, her eyes were thick and indissolvable ink, full of power and strife, this woman, all her actions seemed to be clear, never shy away, never hidden, if she wanted to fight for her, she would generously say that she wanted to rob.

The concubine got up, walked over and closed the door with her own hands, she turned around and still looked at me with a smile, her eyes were calm and not shocked, I panicked for a while, and I was at a loss.

Concubine Dong continued to ask: "In this way, Twilight Xue is just angry for a while, but it has caused such a big impact, so why didn't she go to the Holy Lord to try to break this marriage contract?" ”

Twilight Snow got into the horns of the bull, and she couldn't change her mindset for a while, but I really couldn't watch her give up on herself like this, and forget that the concubine Niangniang was perfect, let me meet the saint, I promise that I am not for myself, I swear that if Twilight is well, I will never marry into the royal family!

"Don't be in such a hurry." The concubine looked at my nervous look, but she was not in a hurry, she was originally an anxious person, the more calm I was, the more I didn't know what she was thinking, and the more anxious I became.

"I can fully understand that you want to protect Twilight Snow so much, this prince is so idle, and he is not outstanding among the many princes in the palace, and the saint has also been old in the past two years, and the matter of establishing a prince has become the top priority in the front and back palaces of the court now, and he is afraid that the position of prince will not last long, and Twilight Xue has indeed wasted it in vain with him."

The prince's reputation is not very good, and the intrigue in the harem has never affected him, because everyone is saying that the prince is just a vain ** prince, virtuous as a saint, and he will definitely depose his position in the case of a real decision between right and wrong, therefore, he was completely abandoned by everyone and ignored it, and every prince stared at the brothers next to him who were as good as himself, and strive to come out on top, no one would care about this straw bag brother who was destined to be abolished, I don't want to spend extra energy and time on him either.

"But Qingyi, you must know that Jun has no jokes, and once the saint says this, the possibility of asking him to repent is almost non-existent...... Besides, why would the Holy Lord give up the great opportunity for Twilight to become his daughter-in-law? ”

"I also ask Niangniang for help," I wrote on the paper, I knew that I had no ability to persuade the saint, but she was as smart and treacherous as Concubine Dong, she would definitely have a way, and besides, she would not be willing to ask the prince to marry Duxue to threaten the future of her son, the Seventh Prince's Yucheng, right?

"I like you and Twilight, I still want to help with this......" Guifei said softly. Listening to her words, I was immediately overjoyed, I finally found the rescuer, if I can speak now, I must be grateful to the concubine!

The concubine looked into my eyes, and then said, "It seems that I really didn't see you in vain today, but whether I can help Twilight Xue or not, it depends on my favor, whether Qingyi is willing to help......

What's busy? Will the concubine have anything to ask me for? I looked at her blankly, waiting for her next words.

"From Twilight Xue, I don't know if Qingyi can understand a little, no matter what you do, it is much easier to be powerful than not to have power, Qingyi, you say yes?" The concubine asked with a smile. I know that the power of Duxue she is talking about is actually alluding to the power of the Dong family, what she wants to say is that the Dong family, whose financial power is quite strong, must be much more convenient and easier to compete for the position of the crown prince.

"I might as well tell Qingyi you directly, the saint already has a meaning, and the matter of establishing a new prince has been settled, but everyone wants to get this position, why can't it be my child? The hard work of the mother is for her own children, and Yucheng is the best among the many princes, I think, Yucheng has this revenge, taking the world as its own responsibility, isn't it conceited? ”

The words of the concubine Niangniang are explicit, maybe there is no one in the harem who can be as sharp and simple as her, and she speaks unscrupulously.

But the concubine Niangniang will not fail to understand this truth, the saint agreed to marry the prince, agreed to make Twilight Xue the future queen, which already shows that my position in the heart of the saint is not so important, and I have no power in the harem, and I have no cronies in Chang'an, although I am the princess of the Northern Desert, but in the Northern Desert, I don't even know any of the kings of all ethnic groups, I am alone, I am only weak, what can the concubine Niangniang ask me to help?

"What do you want me to do?" I wrote on paper.

"Hehe, Qingyi, don't be nervous" The concubine smiled lightly, she is worthy of being a woman who has been trained in the palace for so many years, she is completely calm and sophisticated in speaking and acting, and she is not in a hurry.

"You just need to do what you want to do, go and persuade the Holy One not to marry Twilight Snow to that prodigal son of Dengtu, and I just want you to be on my side, and I won't ask you to kill people and set fires."

I bowed down gratefully, not because the concubine didn't want me to do anything for her in return, or because I felt that her ambition was legitimate, but because she wanted to bring down the crown prince and I wanted to save Twilight, and the two of us had the same goals in one way, so we could be allies for the time being.

Seeing my grateful, the concubine smiled easily, she took my hand and said thoughtfully: "Qingyi, you are such a good girl, and your aunt really likes it." said that he would not marry the prince, so how could he do it? You always have to think about the rest of your life, right? It's just that this prince is mediocre and incompetent, if we don't marry him, why bother to beat the entire prince in the palace to death with a stick? I think it's pretty good for our family to educate the city. ”

I was stunned, and the hand held by the concubine Niangniang trembled twice, at this time, why did the concubine Niangniang still value me, an ugly monster who had nothing, so much? Or do you want to match me and the Seven Princes? At this time, I should be disliked by the princes, right?

The concubine obviously noticed my surprise, and she cleverly diverted the topic: "We are not in a hurry about this matter first, the most important thing at the moment is the matter of Twilight, I should send you to see the Holy Lord first, however, I can only ask my maid to take you to the Holy Temple to report, whether you can meet him or not depends on your ability." ”

I nodded, a little excited, it was good that she could help me.

"Child, let me remind you, the indifference of this harem is not comparable to ordinary people, are you ready for it?"

Did she say, "The Holy One will not see me at all?" My heart was cold, but I still endured this personal maid who followed her and walked towards the Taiji Hall.
