Chapter 203: Seeking for the Concubine
Back in King Chen's mansion, Hui Zhaoyi didn't stay long, but said goodbye to her at the door and went back in the carriage she came.
Rong Yunxi bowed her knees and sent her off, until the carriage turned the corner, and then got up.
The next time I see you, it can only be when I feast in the palace, and that will be a different story.
Before entering the gate of Zhaode Courtyard, I saw King Chen teasing edelweiss in the courtyard! I don't know what I did to lack morality, and I made Edelweiss angry and screamed.
"What did you do with it?" Rong Yunxi said disgustedly.
"This stingy ghost, this king just ate an extra piece of snack, and if he didn't give it to him, he kept screaming." King Chen.
"Come on, you have the ability to rob it! I still have a piece here, guess where I'm hiding? King Chen patted himself on the body.
Edelweiss was right in front of him, tilting his head and screaming non-stop.
"You get up", Rong Yunxi pushed King Chen and pushed him into the house, "What do you care about with a puppy?" ”
"It's not...... I haven't let it find it yet! King Chen struggled.
"What are you looking for?" Rong Yunxi slapped his struggling hand.
Suddenly, something fell out of King Chen's sleeve and rolled in front of Edelweiss......
"Hmm......" Edelweiss cried excitedly, and the white velvet ball and a white velvet snack in his mouth went back to his nest happily.
"Did you take your aunt to see Miss Cai? Is my aunt happy with Miss Cai? ”
Rong Yunxi shook his head: "Not very satisfied." And when I see it again, I also don't think Miss Cai is a good choice. If she really gets what she wants and marries King Ling, I'm afraid that King Ling won't be able to live in peace in the future. ”
King Chen was still smiling before, but after hearing Rong Yunxi say this, his eyes were slightly narrowed on his still smiling face...... In his eyes, there was a gloomy look.
"Can you live in peace, that's someone else's business, what does it have to do with you? Why are you so idle? When Rong Yunxi turned around, King Chen smiled casually again.
Rong Yunxi didn't want to hear him say, "That's someone else's business", but he couldn't find any useful words to refute him, so he could only pretend that he hadn't heard it.
"Tonight, my father will hold a banquet in Yuhuatai to catch the wind and wash the dust for the king and the eldest brother and second brother. You pack up, let's go to the palace at the right time. ”
"Did you invite anyone else besides us?"
"There are also Zhenguo Gong, Changle Hou, Qin Chengxiang, Zhao Taishi, and father-in-law. But the father-in-law said that the old disease was committed, and it was not appropriate to drink, which was afraid to ruin everyone's interest, so he resigned from his father's invitation. King Chen said.
"Is it upward?"
"Of course not, my father-in-law is not so confused to this extent, after retiring from the dynasty, I went to the imperial study to tell my father. It seems that my father-in-law has not recovered from the previous incident, and he still has a lot of guilt against his father. ”
Rong Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. 's father was upright, and the emperor was so calculating about him, which chilled his heart. When you can be estranged from the royal family, you are absolutely unwilling to get close. The emperor can naturally see his father's deliberate estrangement, but this is not important to the emperor.
As far as the emperor is concerned, as long as people can't make any moths under his nose. What kind of relatives of monarchs and ministers are distant and close, the emperor doesn't care at all.
Prince's Mansion, outside the Prince's Bedchamber.
"Madam, Your Highness, please come in." The little maid next to the prince, Qingxing, came out to reply.
Qin Yingyue asked Xiao Tao to wait outside the courtyard, and personally carried the food box to the prince's bedroom.
In the dormitory, several beauties were sitting on the ground next to the prince, beating the prince's legs. Leaning on the long step, it's not pleasant.
"On a hot autumn day, the concubine stewed lily lotus seeds and white fungus soup as His Royal Highness. I hope His Royal Highness will not dislike it and give it a taste. ”
The prince waved his hand and motioned for these nameless concubines to stand down.
Several beauties answered "yes" and retreated in a proper manner. When he walked past Qin Yingyue's side, he also bowed respectfully to Qin Yingyue.
Qin Yingyue was quite a master and mother, and nodded gently and lightly.
At this moment, my heart is extremely proud.
Before, she didn't even have the qualifications to beat the prince's leg in the near future, and the prince couldn't remember her at all. But in just a few months, she has become the most important woman next to the prince. Now that she's here, these women have no choice but to step back and give her a place.
Today, she can have such a status, thanks to King Chen and Rong Yunxi. If they hadn't given her a chance, no matter how clever she was, she wouldn't have had a chance to show it.
"Ai Ji ......" The prince sat up, patted the empty seat on the long couch, and motioned for Qin Yingyue to sit down.
Qin Yingyue took out the sweet soup in the food box on the small table next to the long couch, and naturally sat down next to the prince without twisting it.
He scooped a spoonful of soup, carefully put it under his lips and blew it, and fed it to the prince's mouth.
"Well......" the prince took a sip, "wonderful, wonderful!" I can't imagine that Ai Ji has such a good craft? Why haven't you let Hongu taste it before? ”
"How dare the concubine come near before? I'm afraid of annoying His Highness. ”
"So, it's from the main palace, isn't it?"
"How dare the concubine blame His Highness......" Qin Yingyue said coquettishly.
Qin Yingyue saw that the prince really had a great appetite, fed the prince and drank most of the bowl, and saw that the prince waved his hand, so she put the soup bowl back in the food box and went to pour tea for the prince and rinse his mouth in person.
The prince looked at her......
"Today, after the early dynasty, the palace wants to go to the imperial study to give his father some things, and Zhao Taishi is one step ahead of the palace, and asks for his father's order in the imperial study. This palace heard his father tell him to bring his daughter tonight. ”
"Tonight?"
"Oh, tonight, my father will hold a banquet in Yuhuatai to wash the dust for the palace and the second and third children."
Qin Yingyue handed the tea for rinsing to the prince, and said coquettishly: "This is a good thing!" Your Highness may have a lot of good fortune! ”
"Why does this palace feel so sour when I hear you say this?" The prince laughed.
Qin Yingyue glanced at the prince with disgust, and said, "It doesn't matter if the concubine is sour or not, what matters is whether His Royal Highness wants to let someone put an eyeliner next to him." ”
The prince laughed and said, "Eyeliner...... Not. ”
"It's because the concubine is too worried", Qin Yingyue took the teacup handed by the prince, turned around and said, "This matter, as a concubine, it is inconvenient to say anything." It's just that I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens......"
"Taishi Zhao has been His Majesty's teacher since He was the Third Prince. The teacher-student relationship between His Majesty and Taishi Zhao is a good story in the country of wind. If you want to count the loyalty of the people in the court, I am afraid that in addition to Your Royal Highness, the first person is that Zhao Taishi. ”
The prince smiled: "That's the case......"
"By the way, you go with Hongu tonight. Wait a minute, go back and pick it up, and let's set off at the right time. ”
"Yes." Qin Yingyue responded in a proper manner.
Looks like it's the right day. Originally, he just wanted to hang around in front of the prince more, lest he forget about himself as soon as he returned home. But I didn't expect to get such important news. Moreover, the prince himself told her the news.
The prince treats her very differently than before. This time, she also seized the opportunity to get the position of the crown princess. Otherwise, once the crown prince marries the concubine, even if she can overthrow the crown princess one day, she will only be the wife of the prince, and her reputation will not be good.
So at this time, what should be said has to be said, the big deal is to be reprimanded by the prince? But it is more likely that the prince listened to her words.
"It's still early, and the concubine is not busy going back to clean up. If His Royal Highness doesn't dislike the concubine, let the concubine give His Highness a hammer leg? Qin Yingyue asked.
The prince pointed to his legs, lay flat on the couch, and motioned for Qin Yingyue to come over and beat his legs.
Seeing Qin Yingyue kneeling on the ground with low eyebrows and beating his legs, the prince was thoughtful......
Whether this Miss Zhao is of the same mind as her father, he can't determine. But if she really gets an official lady back, she relies on her identity as the crown prince and concubine, her illustrious family background, and the emperor's marriage, and she still doesn't care about him to death? Can he be so free in the house?
Of course, it can't be controlled. He is a dignified prince, can he still let a woman control it? It's just that there is such a person in the family, and it is not happy in the end.
And the most important thing is that this Miss Zhao must not be a beauty, and she is not necessarily very smart. There are so many official ladies in the capital, which one of them is not clear to the nobles in the capital? He had rarely heard of Miss Zhao's name in the mouths of these nobles. In my memory, the only time I heard it seemed to be someone who said she - fierce.
It's not that he has a fierce temperament, but that he has a fierce face. is born from the heart, it can be seen that her temperament is not very good.
An ugly, fierce woman who may have worn the same pants as his father, what did he do when he got it? Isn't it overt that you're asking for trouble?
Looking at it, if you remove this Miss Zhao, the only daughter of the right age among the important members of the court, that is, Qin Yingyue's eldest sister Qin Yingxuan. That woman is not bad-looking, but is she temperamental...... is also a domineering master.
Among the queen mother's maiden relatives, there are some daughters of appropriate age, but the father will never let him marry the daughter of the Zhou family as the crown princess. Isn't this tantamount to helping the Zhou family become a big force? The father is not stupid, how can he let the status of the Zhou family's relatives be passed on from generation to generation?
Marrying the crown princess is really a big problem......
It is necessary to get someone who is willing to listen to him and have the same heart with him, and to get a beautiful one, and the most important thing is ...... It must not be the person of the father.
And in order to remain neutral, it can't be a member of the Zhou family.
Thinking so, the crown prince looked at Qin Yingyue a little deeper......
It's a good choice.
"Ai Ji, this palace suddenly remembered that you are also the daughter of the prime minister, and your background is not low......"
