The carriage bumped all the way to the vermilion palace gate, and Baozhi was helped off the carriage by the maid and walked into the palace.

To Baozhi's surprise, waiting for her in the palace gate today was the flower grandmother next to the queen's mother, and generally only Empress Wei's biological mother, the old Duchess Anguo, would be picked up by her in person.

How could she be so treated by Empress Wei.

Facing the tall palace wall, Baozhi suddenly blessed her soul, and she has been wondering why Queen Wei suddenly announced her into the palace for the past two days.

Could it be that it is for the prince to choose a concubine?

Last time, the third prince mentioned to her that he wanted to accept her as a concubine, but she refused, was it for this matter? With her family background, even if she is a prince's concubine, she is not qualified enough.

She knew from the beginning that his liking for her could not be fruitful, he was the third prince who was high, she was an orphan daughter without a father, and the disparity in status was so great,

So she decisively took care of her heart, she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life, her heart could only belong to herself, although now she still couldn't take her heart back from Chu Yao.

Along the way, I thought about what if the queen mother mentioned it, what should I do, if she met the third prince, she must tell him well, don't annoy him, and when he turns around, he asks for a holy decree to marry, and he won't lose more than he gains.

Entering the Kunning Palace, the table and the Duobao Pavilion were replaced with treasure vase ornaments with spring patterns, and Queen Wei was talking to Concubine Niangniang with Xian.

Baozhi lowered his head, stepped forward and knelt down to say hello, secretly thinking that the people in the palace are really hard, either kneeling this or kneeling that all day long, how can the knees stand it.

Empress Wei exempted her from the gift, gave her a seat, and asked a few words cordially, and Concubine Xian said: "Niangniang doesn't know yet, Xinke Tanhualang is Baozhi's own brother." ”

Empress Wei was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became more enthusiastic when she looked at Baozhi: "Look at the appearance of this brother and sister, Mrs. Zhang must be an excellent woman, but it's a pity that she is widowed at a young age."

Baozhi lowered his head and made a shy appearance.

Concubine Xian said: "Mrs. Zhang is blessed, her son is Tanhualang, and her daughter is a daughter" After a pause, her eyes stared at Bao Yiyi, and she smiled, "I was born like a flower and jade again." ”

She had already vaguely guessed that Empress Wei was going to choose a concubine for the third prince.

Empress Wei didn't want to mention this matter with Baozhi in front of Concubine Xian, it seemed that her mother of a country was not dignified, so she sent Baozhi to pack her bags.

When Concubine Xian saw that one of the treasures was gone, she said to Queen Wei with a virtuous face: "This kid is really good, and the emperor mentioned this girl Zhang yesterday." ”

Empress Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out why the emperor would mention Baozhi, did she want to fill the harem?

Thinking about it in his heart, he didn't show it, still putting on a dignified queen shelf, and asked lightly: "Oh? ”

"When the emperor was dining in Lanyue Pavilion yesterday, he mentioned the family affairs of several princes, saying that he had already designated the daughter of the Zhenxi family as the crown princess, and then mentioned Miss Zhang."

"I still wonder that Miss Zhang's family background doesn't seem to be as good as being a side concubine, but the emperor said that Master Huitong was a blessed person who broke off the treasure back then, and the side concubine did it."

Empress Wei was angry in her heart, how could everything be good and close to Li, is he the only emperor's concubine?

He was born to his wife, they did not fight for the throne, the concubine chose the daughter of the Zhenxi family, the child had both talent and virtue and could be the mother of a country in the future, and the child's concubine had not been decided by the emperor to this day, just because he didn't want him to cross Li.

Now even if she wants to set a side concubine for her son, she has to snatch it and give it to Li, when she doesn't know the reason why he has not given her son the title of king so far, it is nothing more than afraid that her son's power in the court will be better than Li.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more stuffy my chest became, and after serving tea, Concubine Xian saw the complaint and left Kunning Palace.

It seems that the virtuous and generous queen mother will still be annoyed when she encounters her son's affairs. Concubine Xian smiled slyly.

Baozhi came to the side courtyard, Yongning sat on the kang near the window and dangled his legs, waiting for her boredly.

Seeing Baozhi step into the door, he rushed towards her: "You can count it, I asked them to put all the things you brought in place, I see that your house is a little more empty, and I asked the chief eunuch to go to the library to bring a kang screen, you can see if you like it." ”

Yongning pulled Bao Zhi to watch back and forth in the house, and then pointed to the black lacquer gold paste wenge wood kang screen and asked Bao Zhi if he liked it.

This is also too precious, her identity is a little overstepped with this kang screen. Hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to ask Yongning to remove the kang screen.

Yongning didn't like it when Baozhi didn't like it, shaking his little head wearing a golden phoenix bead hairpin, and snorting constantly: "This is an excellent kang screen, but the glass kang screen in this palace, that is, the queen's mother's house, is it comparable, don't you like it?!" ”

Bao Zhi was speechless, why is this aunt still so ignorant of the world: "That's why I can't put it on it." ”

Yongning didn't seem to understand, so he called the eunuch to move the kang screen out.

"Why did you grow up outside the palace with so many things? Tang Wan came to the palace a few days ago, and I kindly brought her the tea given by my father, but she taught me a lesson and said

What my father gave me, I should cherish it, and I should not take it out and eat it with others. Before she became the crown princess, she set up a score with me. ”

Concubine Xian Niangniang really protected Yongning too well, Baozhi patiently explained to Yongning: "Don't be temperamental to Tang Wan in the future, she will be the queen in the future, and you will have to leave the palace sooner or later, be careful that she holds a grudge against her, it will not be good for you in the future." ”

"Okay, okay, I know, my nurse said the same thing to me, I'm just complaining to you." Yongning waved his hand.

"Just now you said that the emperor has decided to make Tang Wan the crown princess?" Bao only realized that he had extracted important information.

"That's right, everyone inside and outside the palace should already know, and now it's only my father's decree."

"What about the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness? Is it settled? Baozhi asked tentatively.

Yongning took a bite of snacks and said vaguely: "I haven't heard of this, it seems that I can't go past the prince, and I will determine the side concubine first." ”

"What about the concubine candidates?!" Bao Zhi asked urgently.

Waiting for Yongning's answer, Baozhi felt that he was almost drowning, his heart was pounding, and he was really afraid of getting that bad answer from Yongning's mouth.

"I haven't heard of it, this dim sum is a filling made of crisp cheese, it tastes good, you can try it." Yongning didn't check Baozhi's panic at all, and handed her a piece of snack.

Bao Zhi gradually eased up, took the snack, no news is good news, she should find a way to meet the third prince, make it clear to him, I hope he will not do things that are difficult for strong people, after so long contact, the third prince is still trustworthy.

Baozhi was thinking about her own thoughts alone, while Yongning was talking to herself on the side, talking about what she had done these days, what dance she had learned with her master, and what progress she had made in learning calligraphy recently.
