Chapter 25: Wooing Concubine Tan Xian
Early the next morning, Wen Nianqing had just finished breakfast and wanted to go for a walk, when Concubine Tan Xian came to the door.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Eighth Princess." Concubine Tan Xian was dressed in a brocade dress with a dark pattern of elastic flowers, a flying bun on her head, and a few ruby gold hairpins on her head, with elegant steps, a pair of almond eyes that were always curved, looking at people and smiling. Long eyebrows into the sideburns, a little powder on the face. is different from the charm of Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine Tan Xian's eyebrows and eyes carry the unique gentleness of Jiangnan women. On weekdays, she is silent and does not compete for favor in the harem, Zhang Guifei is careless, and now the responsibility of taking care of the harem falls on her, Zhang Guifei will be afraid that her intestines will be repentant.
Concubine Tan Xian was able to raise the four princes under the nose of Concubine Zhang, which proves that she is not a simple person. When I heard about yesterday's incident, I came to visit, but he was really a smart person.
Wen Nianqing waved her hand to let the maids go down, "Hello Concubine Xian, sit down." Chrysanthemum, tea. ”
Wen Nianqing tasted tea and talked to Concubine Tan Xian: "As soon as the prison of this country was released on the 15th, I haven't seen the four emperor brothers recently, are the four emperor brothers okay?" Oh yes, this tea is good, try it. ”
Concubine Tan Xian chatted with Wen Nianqing about her words: "Everything is fine with Yuen, and His Royal Highness Lao is concerned." ”
"Concubine Xian, where is this, the fourth emperor brother and the seventh emperor brother are the same as the elder brother of this palace, how can this palace not care about him?" Wen Nianqing meant something, tempting Concubine Tan Xian.
Concubine Tan Xian heard the meaning of Wen Nianqing's words, "Your Highness's meaning, the concubine understands." ”
Wen Nianqing was a little stunned, she knew that Concubine Tan Xian was smart, but she hadn't explained her words yet, she understood? Such a person can only be a friend, not an enemy.
Concubine Tan Xian covered her lips and smiled, "Last night, the master wanted to go to Zhang Guifei to complain but was stopped by the concubine, the assistant sixth palace is the meeting gift of His Royal Highness, then this master is the meeting gift of the concubine." How does Your Highness want to use it? ”
"This palace wants you to find a way to call the Seventh Emperor Brother out first, and then send the master to the front of the palace, and send a letter to Concubine Zhang Guifei, even if she goes to the palace to mess around, you will deny whatever she says. It's as simple as that. Wen Nianqing knocked on the teacup for a while, the wind and clouds in her eyes changed, everyone in this net was in place, it was time to take it.
"Okay, does Your Highness have any other orders?" Concubine Tan Xian nodded obediently. "Then the concubine will retire first."
Concubine Tan Xian withdrew from Zhaochun Palace, sighed, and was a little afraid, "The eighth princess was so close to Concubine Zhang Guifei before, it seems that she deliberately wanted to chase her, and she was so carefully laid out at such a young age......"
"Niangniang, isn't the eighth princess courting us, what are you still worried about?" Concubine Tan Xian's maid Rui'er supported Concubine Tan Xian and said with relief.
"No...... She's not courting us, she just needs someone to help her, and she needs someone who can make her stay in the harem comfortable. That's right...... You go and pick up some good things to send to the eighth princess. The eighth princess is greedy for money, and she likes luxury, what is good to give, fast! ”
At this moment, Wen Nianqing didn't know that she was thought of so much by Concubine Tan Xian, Mei Yun came in and replied: "Your Highness, the affairs of the Zhang family and the Xu family have been sent to investigate, and Lord Xiao sent someone to hand you a note." ”
Wen Nianqing has been busy in the past few days, almost forgetting Xiao Yuhan, and when she opened the note, there was only a simple sentence on it: "My sister is in Gu, please ask Your Highness to help." ”
