Chapter 30 Seeing the moves, do they have brains?
When Princess Changping was tired of Empress Dowager Gu asking for benefits for her daughter, Princess Changping returned to her bedroom and changed her dress, and only then sat in front of the dressing table, and someone from the palace came in to say: "Her Royal Highness Princess Shou'an has come down." ”
"Invite her to the side hall to serve tea, saying that I just came back, freshen up and go over." Princess Changping was not surprised, and commanded.
She dressed up again, and when she arrived at the side hall, she saw Gu Grace sitting down, with a cat with oily fur lying on her lap, a pair of water-blue eyes that were big, round and attentive, lying there very well-behaved, looking around quietly, looking very cute.
"Yo, why are you willing to bring out your 'ingots'?" Princess Changping knew that this lion cat was very much loved by Gu Qianna, and even had to do it herself every day, because this lion cat was a little afraid of life, and was very wary and distant from people other than Gu Qianna, for fear of scaring it, Gu Qianna easily did not take it to people - and although Changping did not talk about the waiters in this side hall, plus the people brought by Gu Qianna herself, there would be dozens of people in this way, and the cat named "Yuanbao" was already holding on to the master's skirt and refused to let go of his claws.
Gu Qianna gently stroked the cat's body to let it relax, and said: "I lived outside for two days before, and it disappeared from me at home, so anxious that I didn't eat or drink, and I saw that it had lost weight when I went back!" So I didn't dare to leave it when I entered the palace this time, so I asked the Queen Mother for permission to bring it...... It's a strange place for it, so it's better to follow me. ”
After Princess Changping sat down on the throne, she pursed her lips and smiled: "My 'bottle' is naughty, I don't know where to go." When it comes back, let it be closer to your 'ingot', maybe the 'ingot' will not be afraid. ”
"Yes." Gu Wanna's head bowed, "'Yuanbao' is good at everything, but it's too timid...... How about you go and deliver a post? ”
"I happened to see that lion cat, it was as big as a 'bottle', what is it called, it's really cheesy! Wasted a good cat! Princess Changping sneered, "The Qiu clan still wanted to cover up Ling Zui and say something from someone else, so he hurriedly pulled Xin Fubing to speak, and didn't let me continue to ask——"
Gu Qianna said lazily: "I still suggest that you don't move Ling Zui, although he is not the prince, but he is the heart and soul of Emperor Aunt Maode, if you move him, Emperor Aunt Mao will definitely hold a grudge!" The couple has always been in the middle, and this eye bone should be wooed rather than offended. It's better to reveal what happened to her, and she will naturally try to make it up to you, so that you don't have to worry about Ling Zui! ”
"That's what I planned, too, but the Qiu clan is really hateful." Princess Chang Ping sneered and said, "I tested her a few words just now, and she actually forced her back without giving in...... If it weren't for the scruples of the middle palace, I really wanted to give her a good look! ”
"When you descend to Qingwu, the queen has no handle to control you, and I'm afraid that there will be no chance to retaliate against her?" Gu Qianna comforted, "You still don't know the details of the family? I guarantee that Qingwu will also approve of cleaning her up—especially her brother, the one who is still called Ruan Qingyan now! ”
Princess Changping sighed: "Now that the third brother's marriage with you has not been completed, I don't know when this matter will be completed...... Let's not talk about me first, let's talk about Xin Fubing first, she looks very haggard, but she doesn't look like she is sick, and it is impossible to enter the palace if she is really sick! And it seems that he is not at ease, I don't know what the situation is? ”
Gu Qianna was also surprised: "It is said that the wife chosen by the queen for the Seven Princes is her, and with her background, she can have this future, even if she doesn't like it, she should be extra reserved...... How can it be emaciated? As soon as his mind turned, he thought, "Either she doesn't like this marriage, or she doesn't look down on the future of the Seventh Prince?" ”
"Didn't there be news this morning that something happened to Qin Guogong at the family banquet yesterday?" Princess Changping had a flash of inspiration, and her voice trembled slightly, "Could it be ......?" Otherwise, he looked at Lao Qi like that before, but he was sure that the East Palace was in his pocket! ”
The Queen Mother Party and the Queen Party have always been evenly matched, and this time the battle for the prince, because the Seven Princes themselves are better than the King of Zhou, so in the past few months, it has always been the Queen Party that has the upper hand.
Although it is said that the summer vacation of King Zhou was arranged very properly, but now that the summer vacation has just begun, the water army of the Queen Mother's party has not yet played a role in creating a glorious image of King Zhou. So far, the Queen's Party is still the best in the scene.
As a candidate for the prospective crown princess, Xin Fubing not only did not rejoice in her bright future, but described her as haggard...... Who believes that there is no inside information?
If there was no news of Qin Guogong's accident last night, Gu Qianna would basically be able to guess the truth at once-but this news came out so cleverly that Gu Qianna couldn't help but think about it too much: "Qin Guogong is not only the pillar of the Jiang family, but also the biggest backer of the queen!" Although it is said that the Zhenbei Army is still in the hands of Jiang Tianchi, Jiang Tianchi's influence and prestige are far from being comparable to that of Qin Guogong! In particular, Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou are grateful for the cultivation and raising of their eldest brother at the beginning, and they can vigorously promote their nephew Jiang Tianqiao over the years, and they do not hesitate to suppress their own sons! led to many contradictions between the children of the Jiang family-
"When Qin Guogong is here, he can still suppress this contradiction, if something happens to him, it may not be possible to rely on Jibei Hou alone, after all, he has been in Northern Xinjiang for many years before coming to Jibei Hou, and his influence in Beijing is far less than that of Qin Guogong; Second, the overall situation and the city government of Jibei Hou are far inferior to Qin Guogong, and he has basically followed Qin Guogong's will over the years......"
"In short, once something happens to the Duke of Qin, even if the situation of the Seven Princes is good now, it will be difficult to say next! If the queen can't appease the friends who are panicking because of Qin Guogong's accident, the queen mother will win without a fight! ”
"If that's the case, then it's not surprising that Xin Fubing heard the news and was haggard overnight - didn't Jiang Qiyun just hear that King Qi lost his qualification to compete for the crown prince, and he was so disgraced that he cried in public, and he even went to the queen with his mother Dou to try to repent of his marriage?"
"It's just that even Chang Ping knows about this news, and the Queen Mother must have known it earlier! But when Fang went to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, the Queen Mother didn't seem to take the news seriously and didn't mention it...... Could it be fake? Or is Qin Guogong just a minor illness and will not affect the situation at all? ”
"No, no...... This matter is too big, the Queen Mother can't believe it all at once, but she is also suspicious - the reason why I don't mention it is probably because I want to wait and see if I can get more evidence! Otherwise, how could you summon me, Tang Xinqiong, and even Cousin Changping into the palace early this morning? The people who were sent to the two other courtyards to spread the edict must have passed on the message of the Queen Mother with my father and Tang Zimo! ”
"The important thing is that Xin Fubing is just a teenage girl in the end, it's okay to pretend to cry and pretend to be wronged, if you want her to be haggard quickly, it's not a worry from the bottom of her heart, how is it possible? So it's likely to be true—or maybe even she was deceived? ”
One thought after another came to Gu Qianna's mind, and the more she speculated, the more she felt that Qin Guogong might be really sick, and his condition was not optimistic.
But instead of being surprised, she was terrified: "The fact that King Qi and King Yan lost their qualifications to compete for the prince together by using the design of the ground not only greatly offended Cousin Changping, but also made the Queen Mother wary of me...... Fortunately, things are still expected: King Zhou is incompetent, and the Queen Mother still allows me to be her princess after considering it! However, this is because King Zhou has been unable to gain the upper hand in the competition with the Seven Princes! ”
And once Qin Guogong is critically ill, the queen's party is leaderless and chaotic, and at that time, King Zhou will not need a scheming princess to be able to enter the East Palace - in this case, the position of Princess Zhou and the future crown princess will still be her turn?!
"Cousin Changping is now in front of the Queen Mother!" In an instant, cold sweat rolled on Gu Qianna's forehead!
She is very aware of Princess Changping's influence on the Empress Dowager Gu - when King Yan chose Tang Xinyao instead of her, didn't he go to Princess Changping, the mother-in-law?
Even if Gu Qianna put King Yan together and successfully got the opportunity to climb the phoenix throne, the Empress Dowager Gu promised Tang Xinqiong, another daughter of Princess Changping, to be the side concubine, and asked her to let Tang Xinqiong give birth to King Zhou's eldest son and give birth again...... It shows that whether it is from the perspective of checks and balances or from the consideration of appeasing Princess Changping, Empress Dowager Gu still favors her own daughter and granddaughter more than her niece!
"If I can't be a concubine—no! Even if I become a concubine, as long as the Queen Mother doesn't need me anymore, and I haven't cultivated my own power before this, it is easy to be retaliated against by my cousin Changping! You have to find a way to protect yourself! Gu Qianna bit her lip and her heart was racing!
She was extremely nervous here, but the more Princess Changping thought about it, the more excited she became: "I hope that Qin Guogong is really not good!" Without him as the backbone, look at how the queen still fights with the imperial grandmother! After the third brother entered the East Palace, the queen ...... Hey! ”
…… The two princesses were worried and happy, sent Chu Chunxiao away, and asked the people who sent the lion cat into the palace, and after nothing important, Qiu Yulan Zheng looked solemn: "Princess Shou'an suddenly sent such an invitation to come over, there must be a plan!" ”
"It's nothing more than to show me the color." Xin Fubing said with a pale face, "I really don't know what she thinks?" was so attentive before she passed the door, when the fifteenth cousin and Tang Xinyao came out of the cabinet, she was not like her! ”
Qiu Yulan reminded: "Since they are sure to let Princess Changping come over to post in person, I'm afraid they must be sure to suppress you!" You need to be prepared! ”
"It's just a trick, and they're not the only ones who can use their brains!" Xin Fubing sneered and threw the post away, "I'm in a bad mood these days, they don't come to me, when I feel better, I can't help but stir up trouble when I meet them, just right!" ”
Qiu Yulan thought that she was worthy of being the granddaughter of the Jiang family, even if the emotional injury had not healed, her belligerent heart was still undiminished - yesterday this cousin was so sad that she didn't want to meet her, this will Princess Changping sent an invitation, there is no need for Qiu Yulan to provoke and encourage, Xin Fubing himself has a tendency to resurrect in situ!
But this is very good, Xin Fubing's fate of marrying into the royal family is irreversible, and instead of guarding the hopeless unrequited love and sinking, Qiu Yulan would rather see her energetic battle. So he smiled and encouraged: "Then you have to hurry up and recuperate your body, you have lost a lot of weight these days, and you are thin when you look at the side!" ”
"Alas!" Xin Fubing subconsciously stroked his cheeks, and he didn't know if he thought of Ou Bicheng - he sighed, cleaned up his mood after a while, and said, "It's time to recuperate...... I don't want to be like Mi Yinyin's sick jar! ”
This is the first time she has expressed her dislike for Mi Yinyin so bluntly recently-it is also a sign that she wants to open, Qiu Yulan was greatly relieved in her heart, and said with a smile: "This physique is innate, you have always been in good health, and if you want to make a medicine jar, you can't toss yourself and have no hope!" ”
I was about to continue talking to her about the dishes that nourished my body, when someone suddenly came in and said with a little nervousness: "Miss Fifteen is here!" ”
"She?" My sister-in-law's two smiles froze at the same time - Jiang Qiyun, why is she here?
"Are you coming for me?" After a short period of shock, Xin Fubing's face changed, she knew this cousin's temper better than Qiu Yulan, and she couldn't guess how Jiang Qiyun could watch Xin Fubing step on the phoenix throne and do nothing after her dream of the world was shattered?!
That is to say, Xin Fubing and her are not in the same room, not even a grandfather, as a married daughter, Jiang Qiyun does not have the courage to go to the Jibei Hou Mansion to make trouble, otherwise it is estimated that the news will only spread, and she will start to find trouble with Xin Fubing!
Otherwise, Jiang Qiyun doesn't often enter the palace, why did Xin Fubing only come to the palace today, and she also came?
