In Kunren Palace, the queen almost immediately heard what happened to Concubine Li, Rao is she has always been "dignified and solemn", because there are no "outsiders" around her, at this time she also half leaned on the hidden pillow and couldn't stand up straight: "Concubine Li is really ...... It's just that people will inform her of Wei Guogong's 'importance', I can't imagine that she can toss like this, maybe she will take advantage of her wishes at this time...... It's just that I'm still a little worried, Princess Fu is really too virtuous, and I can't guarantee that I won't really match this matter for her. ”

Rui Yingcai, the palace maid in charge, changed the hot charcoal in the hand stove, carefully stuffed it into the purple brocade peony set, tried not to be hot, and then presented it to the queen to hold her hand warmer, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is relieved, the slaves and maids have inquired, although Princess Fu is dignified and virtuous, the few maids around her are all people personally selected by the eldest princess, and they will not be deceived by the princess, Li Concubine will definitely move stones and hit her feet this time, and besides, if Princess Fu really agrees to this, why should Li Concubine make her unhappy, it should be perfunctory, and Li Concubine noticed, will act like this. ”

The queen bowed slightly: "According to my aunt's grandmother's temperament, even if she has a little bit of intention, Concubine Li's actions will be self-defeating, even if Auntie and grandmother don't care about Concubine Li, you have to consider that Jing'er will have such a mother-in-law in the future, and life will not be easy." ”

"It's ...... on the side of the Fifth Highness"

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her cronies: "A few days earlier, what do you mean by being Concubine De?" ”

Rui Ying thought about it slightly, remembering that three or five days ago, Concubine De came to Kunren Palace to say hello, and inexplicably talked about her niece, how she showed off her beauty, gentle and virtuous, and was full of praise, she listened to it like falling into the five clouds, I don't know how often she was very silent, why is Concubine De, who is cautious in words and deeds, so "the princess sells melons", is it possible that she wants her niece to be the third princess, thinking that she is showing goodwill?

"The so-called things go wrong, there must be demons, Concubine De shouldn't want to ...... with the Third Highness," Ruiying said tentatively.

"If that's the case, she can say it bluntly, why hide it, inexplicably praise her niece as unparalleled in the world, and make people laugh." The queen snorted.

Rui Ying immediately agreed: "Yes, it is still the wise mother, but the slave maid is confused, thinking about it this way, Concubine De is also a lady from a famous family, and she will not be as shallow as an ignorant woman." ”

"Don't look at Concubine De's silence in the past, she is really more scheming than the fox of the Chen family, she is showing favor to me, implying that the concubine of the fifth prince is interested in her niece." The queen said: "Only she has this scheming, but she is reluctant to behave, whether she really accepts her fate and has no heart to compete, or it is difficult to say." ”

"No matter how she is, she can still care about her mother." Rui Ying flattered.

The queen just raised her eyebrows and pondered for a moment, but then said, "What about San Lang, didn't you enter the palace at noon?" Is this son still facing the saint? ”

"I heard that the Holy Lord also summoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go, it should be to discuss the matter of Southern Zhejiang." Rui Ying is also good.

The queen closed her eyes: "San Lang was raised by me, and when he was a child, he let the prince regard him as a brother-in-law, so he still appreciated it, this time this thing was done beautifully, not to mention, and he gave it to the saint, saying that it was necessary for the prince to give him guidance, so that it could be so smooth, so, the matter of the promotion of officials in southern Zhejiang, the saint was not handed over to Qin Xiang." ”

Obviously, Jin Xiang's setback this time was deliberately done by the Son of Heaven, and the queen could still understand it, and she was worried that in this way, Qin Xiang would be dominant, at least he would control the election officials in Southern Zhejiang, but her brother admonished several times, saying that Qin Xiang could not control the election officials, and it was time to test the prince's government affairs, but the attitude of the saint was ambiguous, but after receiving the three princes' folds, he made a decision.

The queen has been guarding the three princes for many years, and it was only at this time that she was slightly "moved".

"Niangniang, the slave maid heard that there is a daughter from the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, and the family is ranked for five, and she just reached the end of the year and was recorded in the name of her mother-in-law." Rui Ying said again.

The queen sat up straight, her brows becoming more and more raised: "Don't talk about it in detail." ”

"Yes, the slave maid had heard about this before, but she didn't care about it, even if the heart was recorded in the name of her mother, but everyone in the world knew that Qin Wuniang was a concubine and couldn't hide it, but I don't know why the Prime Minister did this...... But today, I heard that Mrs. Qin led Wu Niang to the Guogong Mansion to pay a visit......"

"Chan is calculating." The queen's whole body sat up from the chaise longue: "Seeing that the eldest princess has no intention of her nephew, but the sword is on the wrong side!" ”

This year's Lantern Festival, the harem concubines drove to watch the lights in front of the Ping'an Gate, the Queen Mother was interested, and also changed the habit of "drawing a quiet" in previous years, and went to the Ping'an Gate to make fun, so she summoned the eldest princess and some princesses to accompany the car, sitting around and laughing, Chen Guifei showed a very enthusiasm, especially for the Duchess of Weiguo Huang, a few hours a night, repeatedly praised the daughters of the Guogong Mansion.

At that time, many noble children were called, and the poems on the lanterns were compared, headed by the two ministers, and there were several doctors of the country's eunuchs, and more than ten excellent poems were evaluated.

Among them is Chen Liulang's lamp.

But there is a beautiful woman, who happens to be the daughter of Chen's mother's family, who praised Chen Liulang's writing and thinking, and his pen and ink are more of everyone's style, so he stepped forward and handed it to Huang and Chen Guifei.

The ladies present were all clear-minded, and they didn't know their intentions.

Of course, the Huang family would not show anything, but Chen Guifei was still humble, saying that it was just ordinary, but she presented the lantern to the queen mother and the eldest princess, and smiled to ask for an evaluation.

The queen watched coldly, although she disdained that Chen Guifei wanted to marry the Guogong Mansion in vain, so you can also pick a talent, what kind of literary style is Chen Liulang? But I was a little nervous in my heart, looking at the attitude of the eldest princess.

If you really have appreciation, you have to pay attention to Chen Liulang and see if you can catch him a handle or two.

How do you know that the eldest princess only glanced at it hastily and coped: "Who doesn't know that I am a person who only knows how to dance guns and swords, and I can't understand these poems the most." But the wonderful thing was the queen mother, who said: "It's really ordinary, the concubine is insightful." ”

The queen saw that Chen's hot face was sticking to her cold buttocks, and she was called a schadenfreude in her heart, so she didn't pay attention to the Chen family anymore - Chen Wulang was about to marry An Hui, the concubine of the general of Zhenguo, and Liulang was also denied, and the Lang Jun under him was either young or concubine, and he was not worthy of the family of the Guogong Mansion at all.

How do you know that the Chen family is not giving up, and the way of "marrying" will not work, so they start the idea of "marrying".

And this time it was to ask the Prime Minister to come forward, a daughter who was recorded as a "concubine" on the genealogy, and probably deserved to be a concubine of Duke Weiguo.

Qin Wuniang is a boudoir and a concubine, she usually doesn't even have a chance to show up, it is not easy to damage her boudoir reputation, and the queen suddenly felt the crisis.

Besides, Yichen, returned to the Fu Wangfu, let people take Qiong Yi down to settle down to the residence, and also thought about how to use this "helper", quite a little at a loss - the things in the palace are not more complicated than the rest of the prince's mansion, King Fu has always been a neglected, there is no real job, and he followed the station during the court discussion, and when he got off the court, there was no other thing, and the Fu King was the most unambitious idle person, although he had opened the prince's mansion early, he had not even raised a guest for many years, let alone any staff, that is, he was named the prince, Only then did he have his own long history division, and was ordered by the Holy Rites to supervise the Ministry of Rites, but he had no real power.

The palace person given by Li Concubine, although the queen mother's intention is just to be a slave, Yichen also feels that it is not suitable, not to mention anything else, if she really let her wait closely, she is not very at ease, but she wants to do rough work, and she doesn't care too much about Li Concubine's face, so she has to arrange a courtyard for her to live in, thinking about discussing with King Fu at night.

I didn't want King Fu to go back to the main room on the front foot, Yichen had just solved the problem for him, and before he could mention it, Qiongyi found it by himself, and argued with Xuanye, the maid who accompanied him from the Guogong Mansion, outside the house.

Yichen was full of apologies: "The prince sits for a while, there was something wrong today, and Concubine Rong will say it later." He turned around and hurriedly went out, but saw a Xuan Ye and a Zishu King Kong blocking in front of Qiongyi, and both sides pushed and shoved.

"Don't stop yet." Yichen lowered his tone and walked down the stairs in front of the hall, but before he could ask what was going on, Qiong Yi sued the wicked first.

But seeing that she was wearing a pinched silver silk jacket and a cherry-red skirt, she gave a blessing gift: "The slave maid was rewarded by the concubine in the palace, and she was originally going to wait for the prince with the princess. ”

Xuan Ye was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, and she laughed angrily: "Since you came out of the palace, why don't you even know the basic rules, you are naturally a slave, what to do, where to go, listen to the master's arrangement, how can there be a reason to rush into the main room with a cheeky face, it is so difficult that the master does not let you wait, and you have to go forward, but this is the first time I have heard of this truth." ”

"Princess, because of the words of the Queen Mother, she said that the slaves and maids should be assisted wholeheartedly, and the slaves and maids did not dare to slack off." Miss Qiongyi is very arrogant, she doesn't talk to Xuanye, she only talks to Yichen.

Yichen was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Sure enough, it's a soft puffer, and Qiong Yi is called a smug.

King Fu was in front of the window, and he had listened to the conversation outside, and at this time he frowned, reflexively sat down in the chair, and looked at the bewitching maid, which was really a little familiar, and it was the most useful around Li Concubine.

Qiong Yi was respectfully blessed again, but this time he didn't rush to speak, and said the reason again by Yichen.

"Because the mother and concubine are compassionate, but the concubine didn't think about what arrangements to make for a while, I don't know what the prince has planned?" With the "husband as wife", Yichen thought about Qiongyi, but he still had to look at the meaning of King Fu first.

"It's just a slave, the princess looks at the arrangement." King Fu "hinted" in a nonchalant tone.

These words made Qiong Yi's heart cold, and she was a little unwilling in her heart, and she wanted to watch coldly for a long time, and she had already decided that Yichen was a good person, so she no longer kept her manners, and smiled and suggested intimately: "Since the Queen Mother asked the slave maid to assist the princess, of course she has to wait closely." ”

"You are from the palace, and you are the person who needs to be used by your mother's concubine, but I can't really ask you to do these heavy jobs." Yichen turned around, his expression still flat: "Can you read?" ”

"The slave maid was trained by the palace grandmother, and she is literate and hyphenated."

"Excellent, there is a shortage of maids in the prince's study." Yi Chen said again.

"But......" Qiong Yi was still unwilling.

"What, do you still think it's too much?" Yichen frowned slightly.

King Fu said at this time: "The palace is not as light as the palace, you don't want to, Mo Ruo returned to his mother and concubine, and still sent you back to the palace?" ”

Qiong Yi was dumbfounded—isn't King Fu a stuffy gourd? When did you become so strong? Hurriedly said, I have a lot of calculations in my heart, it's not bad in the study, there is always a time to be alone with King Fu, for a long time, and there is the support of Li Concubine, I am afraid that there is no chance to be favored?

"In that case, then step back first, and when you have time tomorrow, I will let someone take you to the study to familiarize yourself." Yichen remained silent, and asked Xuanye to arrange the meal.

Qiong Yishang was still rubbing, and when she saw that King Fu was not looking at her, she bit her lip and walked away.

Xuanye outside saw Qiongyi leaving the courtyard gate, so she laughed out loud and said to Zishu: "She is only afraid that she will still feel that she is still taking advantage of it, but she doesn't know that the study in the inner courtyard of our palace is a fictitious thing, and the prince never goes there." ”

Before the words fell, I heard King Fu shouting in his voice: "Xuanye comes in, I have something to ask." ”
