Chapter 93: I Won't Let You Get Your Wish
It's just that she thought about it for a while, and then recalled that Concubine Yuan also returned to the palace at about this time. Subsequently, under the emperor's favor, she gradually became equal to Concubine Zhou, and even had the momentum of restraining each other.
Moreover, this is not the end, a year after Concubine Yuan returned to the palace, she gave birth to a little prince, and was immediately named Concubine Yuan. At this point, she has completely achieved the goal of being equal with Zhou Guifei! Moreover, because of her young beauty, there is even a vague tendency to catch up with and surpass Zhou Guifei!
However, I don't remember that Su Linglong had any intimate dealings with Concubine Yuan in her previous life! It's Ye Yuxian, she was elected as the side concubine of the East Palace a year after returning to Beijing, but this matter is absolutely true!
Could it be that in this life, because she has changed the direction of some things, Su Linglong's life trajectory has also changed?
Fang Fei pondered for a while before she looked at Ye Yuxian who was sitting beside her with complicated eyes, and asked: "Yuxian, if I tell you that when Concubine Yuan returns to the palace, she will be favored for several years, and she will also give birth to a little prince, then, will you be willing to let go of your opinion of Su Linglong in your heart, and instead flatter her for the sake of glory and wealth?" β
"Ridiculous!" Ye Yuxian didn't seem to have imagined that she would suddenly ask such a question, so she instinctively popped out these two words, but quickly calmed down after a while.
She looked at Fang Fei in a daze, who was also looking at her with an unusually calm look.
Fang Fei spoke again and said, "Remember that my sister proposed to me before that if the two of us became close friends, we should be able to help each other and support each other?" β
"Remember! But now, aren't you afraid of being implicated by me, and then you will also become the target of Su Linglong's crazy woman's revenge? β
Fang Fei smiled lightly, her expression resolute: "Afraid? As early as when she attacked Luo Shenju, she didn't think about whether I, the main family, would be implicated. Therefore, I have never been afraid of her Su Linglong, besides, even if she really clings to Concubine Yuan and becomes her sister-in-law, so what? I'm still the biological daughter of General Chaoyipin, as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog girl, I don't want to smear my father's face and grovel to this kind of person, right? As for you, sister, your future future is by no means comparable to her, so as long as the two of us join forces, I forgive her Su Linglong is definitely not our opponent! β
As soon as Ye Yuxian heard this, she was so happy that she threw all the worries and fears before out of the clouds, took Fang Fei's hand, and nodded with a smile: "Hmm! My sister has a point, we don't need to be afraid of her at all. But don't you think it's strange, sister? She was originally missing halfway back to Beijing, how could she meet Concubine Yuan who was injured and fell from Tonghuatai so coincidentally? After my dad told me about it, I couldn't figure it out! β
Fang Fei looked at Ye Yuxian with implicit approval, nodded and said, "Yes!" What a coincidence! Or, it wasn't a coincidence, but a premeditated plan - don't forget, my cousin Xiuyun, he is a confidant of His Royal Highness King Qin. With King Qin's current power, if he revealed the news that the emperor was going to take Concubine Yuan back to the palace to Lu Xiuyun, then Su Linglong would indeed have learned about it in advance and started planning. β
"I seeβyou're right, it seems that I'm being naΓ―ve! No wonder Daddy had such a disappointed look in his eyes when he looked at me......."
After Ye Yuxian finished speaking, she said: "In that case, if Su Linglong really had a premeditated plan, I'm afraid that she would have done everything seamlessly." It's a pity that she can't reveal her true colors, but makes Concubine Yuan think that she is really her savior. β
"There is no need to be in a hurry, and now that Concubine Yuan has returned to the palace at the beginning of her life, what she needs to do most urgently is to fix her favor and fight against Concubine Zhou. For Su Linglong, a righteous sister, even if she has the heart, she is always hindered by her background, and she can't give much practical help except for some small favors. But after we return to Beijing, it will be the emperor's birthday immediately, but my sister has already prepared for this matter? β
Ye Yuxian nodded, and said truthfully: "Father has already discussed this matter with me, in addition to the birthday gift has been prepared, because the day before the emperor's birthday is the day of Qixi begging, and the queen mother has always liked clever women, so I also prepared a pair of embroidery, and then on the night of Qixi Festival, it will be presented to the queen mother." β
Fang Fei bowed her head lightly and did not make any comment. Because she remembered that in her previous life, during the Qixi Palace Banquet, the most brilliant person that night was Concubine Yuan, who had just returned to the palace.
Originally, Concubine Yuan was hated and disliked by the dignified and conservative Empress Dowager Fu because of her thin family background and extraordinarily beautiful birth. Later, he was framed by Zhou Guifei, so the emperor had to send him out of the palace with pain, named Qing Xiu, but in fact, he became a waste concubine.
But she didn't expect that not long after she returned from the palace for three years, she won the joy and praise of the Queen Mother with a scroll of the Diamond Sutra specially embroidered for the Queen Mother. Since then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have gotten along harmoniously, and the Empress Dowager Fu has taken care of her more. If you really want to talk about it, her road to regaining favor, Empress Dowager Fu can be regarded as a big help.
But now that she thinks about it, Fang Fei feels that there is a lot of strangeness in it. Because if you talk about embroidery, your aunt, He Xiangning, the second lady of the Song Dynasty, is the well-deserved leader of the Dasheng Dynasty.
But it just so happened that a few days before the Qixi Festival in the previous life, the small courtyard where the aunt lived unfortunately caught fire, and the aunt almost died in the fire. And the birthday gift that she had spent half a year embroidering was burned into a pile of ashes by the fire. In this way, Concubine Yuan became outstanding, and won the favor of the Queen Mother.
Could it be that the fire that my aunt encountered at that time was not an accident but man-made?
Thinking of this, Fang Fei suddenly felt some indescribable heartache. Because she remembered very well that after she returned to Beijing, even her own grandmother was cold to her in the huge Song Mansion.
Only Aunt He, she always cares about herself openly and secretly, and even argues and scolds Lu Yanning for her own affairs, and is punished by her grandmother.......
"Concubine Yuan, if all this is really what you did, then, this time, I will definitely not let you get your wish."
After Fang Fei secretly made up her mind in her heart, she turned to Ye Yuxian, who was still waiting for her to speak, and said, "It's right to prepare embroidery for the Queen Mother, but you may need to prepare another pair." As for the pattern, use the one I gave you. β
Fang Fei said, got up and walked to the bookcase. Seeing that she quickly dipped her ink and lifted the pen, and drew a pattern of embroidery, Ye Yuxian looked at it with some suspicion, and suddenly said in shock: "Meng's mother moved three times? Are you asking me to use this embroidery to remind the emperor of the efforts made by the Queen Mother in order to raise him as an adult? β
