Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Empress?

Virtuous Concubine?

If it weren't for Sheng Shan'er mentioning Gong Xiaochan and saying that she didn't know it, she really didn't expect to learn about the emperor's harem.

However, behind every palace concubine, there is a clan of forces, and to understand the palace concubines is to understand the family behind them, and to understand the entanglement of various relationships and interests between the DPRK and China.

In this way, Sheng Shan'er made a lot of trouble, but she did a good thing: remind her that starting from the harem, she can also find a lot of things.

If she took this opportunity to take advantage of the situation to do some understanding, it would not only be abrupt, but also natural.

It's just that this is not the place to speak, and the eyes of the people around her are a little complicated.

all know that she is Princess Yi, pitiful; But it's royal, terrible, and with some hatred.

Li Qing took everyone back upstairs and said to Yelan, "I have something to ask you." ”

"Princess, please speak." Yelan said.

"Yesterday about the rumors, the county lord mentioned Gong Xiaochan, ashamed, I don't know who Gong Xiaochan is, the county lord said that Gong Xiaochan is the sister of Concubine Xian, you also mentioned Concubine Xian just now, the custard apples that let the post guard run to death outside were sent to Concubine Xian. This virtuous concubine, is she the emperor's favorite concubine? ”

Who else but a favorite concubine can have this kind of treatment?

Li Qing just found an excuse, asked knowingly, and picked up the topic.

Yelan replied, "Yes." ”

"Is it the kind that can compete with the queen?" Li Qing asked.

"This kind of thing, Changshi knows better, and his subordinates don't know much about it." In order to avoid giving Li Qing the wrong information, Yelan answered quite cautiously - he really didn't know and didn't dare to answer without permission.

"Then let's go to Jiangnan Mansion this time, is there a daughter in Jiangnan Mansion who is a concubine in the palace?" Li Qing asked again.

Ye Lan immediately said: "The emperor currently has a total of more than a dozen concubines in his harem, and there are two of them, both of whom are from Jiangnan Mansion. ”

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "You don't know about the situation in the harem, but you quickly answered this question, should it be, the matter we went to investigate this time is related to the two concubines, right?" ”

Yelan said: "It's not sure yet, it needs to be investigated." ”

Also, if everything is determined, what else are they going to investigate?

Li said lightly: "You have already read the files about the relevant officials and nobles of Jiangnan Mansion?" ”

Yelan didn't dare to say that she didn't want to read the file, so she asked Shen Rufeng, who had read the file, to tell him, and by the way, she also analyzed and discussed it.

He skimmed out the details and replied, "Yes." However, if the princess wants to know the details, it is better to ask the prince directly. Presumably as long as you want to know, the prince will tell you. ”

Before going out, Shen Rufeng specially told Ye Lan that official affairs should not be delayed, and the prince's private affairs should not be delayed, and he must find ways to give the prince and the princess more opportunities to cultivate their feelings.

Yelan took this to heart and felt that this was the first good opportunity.

However, he suddenly felt that he was a little weak to do this alone, and he had to find some helpers, and the people around the prince and princess could join forces, so maybe it would be more effective with half the effort.

His gaze swept over the faces of Wu Ke, Liu Fu and Chang Le, and decided to gather Wu Qi and Liu Wu and Liu Wu before the prince arrived, and discuss this matter.

Chang Le's age was too young, and he was directly excluded from the scope of discussion by Yelan.

And the other girl, I don't know if I'm smart or not, so I'll observe and observe first.

He didn't realize at all that the alliances he wanted to form were as unreliable as they were.
