Yi Jing never thought that when Princess Xiliang's envoys were still nowhere to be seen, she had already had "close contact" with Concubine Shou and tasted the power of the supreme elder.

What I didn't expect was that behind this unpleasant meeting was many accidental and inevitable factors.

The central figure who plays a decisive role is Concubine Qin - this Hui Hui wants to overwhelm people with all her strength, and her dissatisfaction with Yijing has been filled with all her internal organs, and she came back with a belly of wreckage in the Chu Wangfu that day, and she has never had a chance to vent, until Concubine Deng gave birth to a baby girl, Concubine Qin felt a little more comfortable, ha! If you want to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, it depends on whether you have this luck, and the result is not that you have lost money! Concubine Qin was in schadenfreude, but sincerely congratulated Concubine Deng a few times, and made up for the depressed appearance of "mother-in-law" Chen Guifei, who had a big appetite and worked hard to add food in those two days, only to feel that spring was really coming, and the skin that couldn't bear the dryness in winter was gradually moisturized.

The good mood was only maintained until the day of the "washing three", and the saint issued an edict and broke the grace to seal the money-losing goods as the princess!

When Concubine Qin knelt down to answer Xie Longen's order, she almost couldn't hold back the fire spewing out of her throat.

Fortunately, Qin Ziruo was also present that day, and kept mentioning the transfer by Concubine Qin's side, so that the baptism ceremony could be successfully spent in a roughly harmonious atmosphere of "no danger".

Miss Ziruo easily avoided others, so she had a chance to appease Concubine Qin: "This is a good thing!" Sister thinks about it, that is, in the future, the fourth brother-in-law will be crowned as a prince, and the concubine will be qualified to become the lord of the county, but the saint actually broke the grace and named the daughter of a concubine as a princess, what does this mean? ”

"It means that the little slut of the Deng family will be a mother and a daughter in the future!"

Ziruo: ......

After being speechless for a long time, Ziruo didn't dare to tell Concubine Qin those "deep" words after all, so he changed it to a euphemism, and made the whole work of "painting cakes to satisfy hunger": "My sister is a concubine, if I have a concubine in the future, how can I not have a grace?" If you get the eldest grandson of the emperor...... My sister thinks about how the saint will be enshrined, so that she can fulfill the royal etiquette and maintain the distinction between the concubines. ”

Only then did Concubine Qin turn her anger into joy.

After many procedures, she finally invited her fourth brother-in-law to the quiet flower hall through her father, and analyzed her optimistic views on such measures as the saint - such as attaching great importance to the four princes, indicating that the throne has been shaken, and the obvious signs that the four princes have a "bright future" and so on.

This matter was told to the Li family through Sun Meng's mouth as an interesting story: "As soon as the Holy Lord's decree arrives, it can be regarded as joy, and the Fourth Highness is staggering with us, but suddenly left the table after listening to a few whispers from Qin Youcheng...... Later, it was easy for me to hear Chen Changshi leak a few words. Sun Meng is not without pride, since he bribed Chen Changshi with a valuable "bird" and established a deep friendship with this prince's cronies, the news is naturally much better than before: "It turned out that I went to the inner house to see my wife and sister, it was Qin's Qiniang." ”

Li Shi was surprised: "The Fourth Highness actually ...... Chen Changshi even dared to say this everywhere, so he was not afraid of being impeached by Yushi when he heard about it? My God, the Fourth Highness is going with Qin Youcheng? The Qin family is a famous family that is like a fake, and they actually connived at their daughter who has not left the cabinet to do such adulterous things? ”

Sun Meng was stunned for a long time, and then turned around and realized that Li's thoughts were too impure, and he coughed a lot: "Where do you want to go, this is also nonsense?!" Qin's Qiniang is everyone's best girl, how could she do such an ugly thing...... According to Chen Changshi, Qin Qiniang's knowledge is not bad, but she is not only good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Qin Xiang, who usually loves to discuss politics with this granddaughter, and today because of that grace, Qin Qiniang has a keen insight into the holy will. ”

Li pouted, her heart said what kind of keenness, after listening to such an ear, she also thought that it was the "will" of the saint, and she was jealous of her husband to protect Qin Qiniang, and was about to sarcastically say, "What a lady is beautiful, but it is just yang and yin, and I don't know how many yin and selfishness are hidden behind it", and suddenly heard Sun Meng say: "The fourth princess has an arrogant and stubborn temperament, and only Qin Qiniang can persuade her a little." ”

Li Shi immediately dispelled the narrow-mindedness of the jealous little device in his heart, and said in his heart that Concubine Qin was arrogant and not easy to approach, maybe he could use Qin Qiniang's way to let her introduce him......

So it didn't take long for the big girl next to Ziruo to consciously hand over a carved silk bracelet inlaid with more than a dozen rubies: "Qi Niang said that it is not rare, and the porter Wan Pozi actually came to such a treasure to envelop the slave maid, so that the slave maid found a way to take Qi Niang to the jewelry shop called Baizhen Pavilion in Ping'an Fang, saying that after the matter is completed, there will be no slave and maid." ”

Ziruoxing's eyes squinted slightly: "Let's say it directly, what did you say." ”

The big girl smiled with a praising smile: "It's definitely not a bad thing to say, a family member of a twilight bureaucracy in the Four Princes' Mansion, I heard that the seventh lady is smart and admires you very much, I want to please you, that shop is the Li family's industry, I want to come to the Li family to make a generous move, Wan Pozi has gained a lot of benefits, I feel that there is nothing wrong with this matter, and the prince is usually willing to discuss with Qi Niang and the staff, so he gave it a try." ”

So, Ziruo girl, who was fine at home and wished to have more connections, went to Ping'an Fang to meet with the Li family.

Li naturally expressed her "admiration" for Ziruo with a lotus tongue, praised the tall girl for her unparalleled wisdom and ingenuity, and wasted all her efforts to search for the miscellaneous books and biographies that she read in the boudoir back then, showing that she was also a heroine with extraordinary knowledge, and only then euphemistically said that she wanted Ziruo to introduce her to the four princesses.

Ziruo has a lot of tests on the Li family, and there is no need to say much in detail, in short, he feels that although the Li family does not have great wisdom, he is still a little smart, especially when the Li family said that she had a plan and could help Concubine Qin out of the evil breath in her heart, Ziruo finally felt a little moved.

But the words stopped immediately: "You are also deaf and clear-sighted, and you know that your sister is dissatisfied with the Su sisters, especially the princess...... Alas, the two of them are also disagreeable, the sister is arrogant, and Concubine Su is not a soft person, but there are some contradictions, I and Concubine Su are better, and I don't approve of your method. ”

Ziruo looked at the Li family and smiled after hearing the words, but her eyes were disapproving, and she smiled secretly in her heart - this sister's own sister died unexplained because of the princess, how could her resentment be so easy to dispel, on the surface, she said that she would not dare to instigate again, as long as she got the opportunity, she would definitely say that to the eldest sister, although this matter may not be able to hit the Su family, it can be regarded as a hidden danger, and when the time is right in the future, it may not be possible to use the topic to play and make the Su family infamous. Besides, if this matter is publicized in moderation, it will also hurt the reputation of that person and clear the way for the brother-in-law.

But he said solemnly: "Whether it is the Chu Wangfu or the Weiguo Mansion, they can't be offended, the Prince's Mansion can't easily make enemies, I often advise my sister to say this, but her temperament can never be reversed...... Not to mention the outside at the moment, it is in the prince's mansion, the two side concubines are extremely favored, and the situation of the sister is also a little difficult, I have always been the daughter of the boudoir, some words are not easy to say directly, and I can't often go to the prince's mansion, if you can always remind her to act rashly by the side of the sister, it is not without benefit. ”

As soon as Li heard this, his heart immediately burst into joy.

Ziruo said again: "My sister and the princess are both clan women, and they should live together in harmony, you have to remember to mention that you can't let your sister and the Su sisters clash again and be criticized." The implication is that even if you want to trouble the princess, you must "borrow a knife to kill".

The Li family is really a little clever, although he doesn't understand the "sincerity" of Miss Ziruo, but he has a plan, and said with a smile: "It's still the seventh lady who has foresight, and the concubine is reminded by you that she knows her narrow-mindedness...... The concubine understands that she will persuade Concubine Qin to make good friends with the Chu Palace, even if she can't get along with the princess, isn't there still the general's wife and daughter-in-law? ”

Sure enough, Ziruo is satisfied.

So she acted resolutely, she didn't even show her face, but she just asked the nurse next to her to come forward and lead the Li family to the prince's mansion to see Concubine Qin, under the pretext that she was dedicated to Concubine Qin's newly made golden phoenix bead tassel hairpin.

As soon as the Li family saw Concubine Qin, it was very easy to find a common topic - through the chaos caused by the third prince of Xie, with the truth of "empty wind, not necessarily without cause", it was concluded that the princess was a bully, arrogant and domineering person, as soon as the bad words were said, it naturally involved the original three princes and Yijing had each other's life-saving grace, and the relationship between the two was unclear, it was nothing more than because of the saint's marriage and the prestige of the Weiguo Mansion, others did not dare to talk about it, and the ironclad evidence was-

"Concubine Qin, don't you know, poor my eldest sister, who was favored by the Third Highness and became a concubine in the mansion, because of the conflict between Shangyuan Festival and the princess, she was given death by the Third Highness...... The concubine wanted to seek justice for her eldest sister, but she had no choice but to ...... Don't hide it from Concubine Qin, when the Third Highness saw his sister in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he quibbled that His Royal Highness gave the eldest sister as a maid, and he didn't know that his sister was a good person and couldn't be killed like a slave......"

Concubine Qin didn't pay attention to this at all, and when she heard about this, she suddenly became excited, so she thought about how to publicize it, and Li hurriedly dissuaded: "Concubine Su is cunning, and the Chu Palace's Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion are valued by the saints, but you can't let her grasp the handle and it is not good for the Fourth Highness, the concubine heard that Concubine Su was rude, not only did she not get along with the concubine, but even the elders dared to be disrespectful, the general's wife was her aunt, but she had already complained about her, you just had to give this matter to the general's wife or Huang Qiniang......"

Concubine Qin listened to Li's words this time, and sure enough, she asked Huang Jiangyue to speak.

How dare Huang Jiangyue make a fuss about such an empty thing at this time, let alone involve the third prince, but she couldn't refuse Concubine Qin, so she had to promise first.

I thought I had to find an elder to come forward, and blame Yijing for this, with Yijing's upright temperament that was unwilling to be humiliated, he would definitely argue and argue, and this would naturally be publicized, but which one should this elder find? My grandmother is absolutely not good, and my mother-in-law is easy to persuade, but the old princess is eccentric, and my mother-in-law is not useful.

Jiang Yue had no choice but to turn to her aunt Huang for help, she had no face to go to the door of the Guogong Mansion again, and handed over a message through Huang Taocai, so that the Huang family could take the time to come to the Chu Palace.

The Huang family used the excuse of Xie Sanye's matter to "care" for Yijing, and mentioned Jiang Yue by the way: "Although she did something foolish, she always called me aunt, Jing'er, you also know that your grandmother still loves Ah Yue in her heart, if I come to the palace but don't visit her, I am afraid that your grandmother will complain in her heart." ”

Yi Jing naturally would not stop the Huang family's "virtuous and benevolent", but the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and he didn't know what tricks this party was planning.

The Huang family listened to Jiang Yue's difficulties, and sneered: "It's not that I said you, although it is not a bad way to move the elders, but you also have to find the right person, the woman marries her husband, and the husband and the elder of the family should be respected first according to the etiquette law, and the father has to be behind, not to mention the foreign family, you shouldn't listen to Xiao Xie's words and go to Mrs. Tai to instigate her this time, she is just Yijing's grandmother, and she can still be subdued by a granddaughter who married into the clan?" Your mother-in-law is even more ridiculous, she actually used the third wife of the Xie family, she passed away this time, and the prince and the princess didn't even have to mourn, what kind of serious respect...... You have to use your brains in the clan, you must be a generation higher than the eldest princess and the old princess, you are also a clan woman now, so you naturally know who is the most suitable. ”

Jiang Yue woke up like a dream, and said in her heart that she was worthy of her aunt, and she had endured it for many years, and she was really scheming.

But she can't be this budding bird anymore, she is already infamous and ridiculed, how can she move Concubine Shou to come forward.

first told Xiao Xie about Concubine Qin's meaning and Huang's strategy, and then offered advice: "The descendants of Concubine Shou were snubbed by the royal family, and even the great-grandchildren of their generation had no one to lead the envoy, if they could promise the great-grandson of the concubine a position of leadership in Xishan Wei, the concubine would definitely be tempted, and the concubine heard that the concubine had always been 'jealous and hateful', and when she learned that her sister-in-law had such a scandalous thing, she would ruin the reputation of the clan in the future, and she would never sit idly by." ”

Xiao Xie was overjoyed, and he didn't even notice Yu Dong in a hurry, so he ran to Concubine Shou, and first fabricated a beautiful scene of how to look down on Mrs. Sheng Xingbo, the granddaughter of Concubine Shou, and often laughed at Mrs. Bo behind Pingle's back, and then said that the third prince executed a concubine from a good family for her, and insisted that Yijing had a private relationship with the third prince, but the old princess of the family was confused and eccentric, if no one warned the princess again, there would be rumors and rumors in the future, and everyone in the clan would have to be affected by her. In the end, I asked Concubine Shou that she had a great-grandson who was nineteen, but he was still idle at home, and promised that if there was a suitable time in the future, he would seek a commander in Xishan Wei for him to experience.

So under the impetus of a group of people who were either obvious or hidden, or indeed conflicting or really nonsense, Xiao Xie, a simple-minded bird, led the imposing Concubine Shou to ask for the guilt.
