vs 197 Chapter 66

At about the same time, Deng Guifei finally arrived in the imperial study after Miao Jieyu left the table, changed her clothes, bathed in incense, and arrived in a bright dress. Riding a ladder for Miao Jieyu and letting her stay in the imperial study to add fragrance to the red sleeves of the saint, she finally managed to retire and dragged her tired body back to Mingguang Palace.

Fortunately, I asked someone to clean up the water pavilion early in the morning, and I put it for most of the day, which was cool and pleasant. Lying down on the soft couch in the water pavilion, but seeing the sharks hanging low all around, the wind blowing, indescribably comfortable and enjoyable, made Deng Guifei feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden. And the little palace maid took out the fruit from the well, cut it into a lotus shape, and put it on the ice tray to present, which was very beautiful.

Concubine Deng Guifei ate three or five pieces of Shiguo in one gulp with a chilled agarwood drink, squinted her eyes pleasantly, and then took out the handkerchief from her arms, and asked the only palace person who was left to serve in the water pavilion while wiping her fingers: "Look at this Wei Chang Ying's ......?" ”

The palace man said cautiously: "It's a beauty." ”

"Beauty is not surprised, you can see at a glance that it is gorgeous, and the most rare thing is that it is gorgeous and vulgar. But it's nothing ......," Concubine Deng said lightly, "This palace is saying that her temperament is human, and Liu Di has been serving her today, how do you say it?" ”

The palace people pondered for a moment, and Fang said: "In the middle, Miss Su and Miss Shen Si have all looked for her, which shows that although she has not been in the imperial capital for a long time, her popularity is good. Later, I went to Qianqiu Pavilion, Liu Di was not easy to follow, and when I came back, I found Wei Changying...... I pay attention to Miss Fifteen. ”

Fifteen is Deng Wanwan's ranking.

After hearing this, Concubine Deng thought about it, but said: "Su Yuli is the daughter of Wei Changying's aunt, so it is not surprising that she will take care of her; As for Shen Zangning, this girl looks willful and pampered, but in fact, she has her own sense of proportion, and she has always protected her family, otherwise Shen Xuan would not have doted on her so much. These can't explain Wei Changying's popularity, if you want to say that popularity depends on the relationship between her and her concubine, you see that her two sisters-in-law didn't come to take care of her, and they didn't even send someone to ask, you know that she has just passed the door, and her foundation is shallow. ”

He also said, "Does she pay attention to the bends, maybe she listened to what Song Zaishui said." ”

Gong said: "Niang Niang is right. ”

"Looking at it this way, the temperament will not be too bad, otherwise Su Yuli and Shen Zangning are also the pearls of the family's favor, even if they have the advice of their elders, they can't please her." Deng Guifei groaned, "But it won't be too exquisite, otherwise, it doesn't make sense that her two clever sisters-in-law will ignore her...... What's more, Su Xiuman is also here today, and they will also behave virtuously in order to do it for Su Xiuman. It seems that Wei Changying will not have a good relationship with these two sisters-in-law, and he will not be good with his sister-in-law when he enters the door, where can he be sleek? Su Xiuman's eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law have a good reputation in Beijing. Bengong thought, Wei Changying should be favored, so she is quite pampered? Even if there are older and steady people around them, they may not be willing to listen, so they don't seem very affectionate with their sisters-in-law. ”

Rubbing the corners of her forehead, Deng Guifei was a little unsure again, "Yao Tao, you say...... Qi'er, will the person in his heart be this Wei Changying? Don't guess wrong, then according to Wei Changying to pick someone for him, there is no need! ”

Yao Tao, the palace man, was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The prince has never thought about a young lady before, but he came back from Qingzhou and wrote a poem, depicting a red-clothed beauty walking under the bamboo forest in the early morning, on the bank of the clear stream, which is quite tempting...... I heard from the people who followed Gongzi to Qingzhou that although there were a lot of bamboo forests along the way, they didn't meet any red-clothed beauties in the forest. When I went to Xiaozhushan outside Fengzhou City, because of the dispute with Wei Changfeng, early the next morning, Gongzi and Gu Ziming climbed the mountain to say goodbye, because Wei Changfeng said that there were female dependents on the mountain, and they didn't dare to bring their entourage, so only the two of them went...... The maid thought that if the poem written by the son was indeed true, it would probably be there. ”

Deng Guifei sighed: "Song Zaishui arrived in the imperial capital last year, although she walked with Qi'er on the road, she didn't see Qi'er pay much attention to her. Originally, the bend and Song Zaishui came and went, and the palace thought it was ...... Although this Song Zaishui has damaged his appearance, he is also free, if Qi'er likes her, this palace can also think of ideas for him, but he doesn't want to bend and say that he has no instructions from Qi'er when he interacts with Song Zaishui. Qi'er was also worried that Duanmu, the second daughter-in-law of the Song family, was colorless and jealous, and Wanwan had also reached the age of Jilu, so don't cause trouble when she enters and exits the Song family, and reminds her not to go to the Song Mansion often...... I heard that there were only two female dependents on Xiaozhu Mountain at that time, and since it was not Song Zaishui, I thought it was Wei Changying. ”

The concubine was very regretful, "Qi'er, this child, was dragged down by his father, and he suffered a lot when he was young!" Bengong has always said that he wants to choose a favorite wife for him to live a good life, why does he fancy someone who has been married since he was a child? He also instructed Yao Tao, "No matter what, according to the visit of Wei Changying, I will see that there are almost beautiful ladies with a similar temperament, and if there is no marriage, the palace will ask Qi'er again." ”

Yao Tao said respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Deng Guifei told her again: "Qi'er's matter of favoring Wei Changying must be kept secret, and no one must know about it." ”

Yao Tao said solemnly: "The maid knows the severity. He added, "Niangniang, please rest assured, the son's poem, the maid also let people take it out and burn it with her own hands." The subordinates who know about this matter, the servants have already been beaten, and their families are all in the imperial capital, so they will not dare to talk nonsense. ”

"Just burn it." Concubine Deng Guifei breathed a sigh of relief and said contemplatively, "Without evidence, who dares to say that Qi'er covets the wife of a colleague, it is all slander!" Of course, Qi'er has no parental protection, and this aunt in this palace can't tolerate anyone bullying her nephew! ”

Yao Tao said: "Yes! He asked again, "Childe's wife is selected according to Wei Changying, so ...... Miss Fifteen's marriage? ”

Deng Wanwan doesn't look like the sixth prince, although she is also a niece, Deng Guifei is not very interested in her, but thinking that Deng Zongqi loves this sister very much, she pondered for a while, and said: "You see that there are suitable children to report up, and the palace will refer to them in detail, their brothers and sisters are dragged down by their father, and they are not treated by the clan, so they should choose a less loyal family, so as not to be bullied." ”

Yao Tao said with a smile: "The mother said that she was loyal, but the maid remembered someone." ”

"Oh?" Deng Guifei didn't expect Yao Tao to have a target before she turned around, and asked in surprise, "Who is it?" ”

"This time, the person who came back with Gongzi mentioned a guard named Wei Qing in the Wei clan in Fengzhou." Yao Tao said with a smile, "The maid seems to be a good person." ”

Deng Guifei said unhappily: "Guard! Although the surname is Wei, it is estimated that he is also a son of the side branch? My Rongcheng Deng clan is certainly not as good as Fengzhou Wei, but how to say that Wanwan is also the daughter of the sect, even if both parents die and marry the son of the Wei clan, it is a bit high, but the children of the far branch have a limited status in the clan......"

"Niangniang didn't know, this Wei Qing was nothing before, but later I found out that he was the guard who escorted Wei Changfeng home when Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng were assassinated last year." Yao Tao hurriedly explained, "And he is not a distant branch, but his great-grandfather and Lao Jing Pinggong are brothers!" ”

"You're also a disciple of this sect?" Only then did Concubine Deng ease her color, and said in a deep voice, "I have saved Wei Changfeng, if Wei Changfeng gains power in the future, as long as this person is not confused, his status in Ruiyu Hall will not be lower." Especially Wei Changfeng is an only son, and he has no brothers, so he will inevitably be introduced as a confidant! But Wei Changfeng is young, Wei Shengyi is in the prime of life, and Wei Huan and Mrs. Song are old...... It's hard to say! ”

Although the concubine didn't seem to approve of it, she thought about it for a moment and asked, "What is the situation in this Wei Qing's family?" ”

"His parents are also deceased, and he only has two siblings." Yao Tao said without thinking.

Deng Guifei was very surprised: "Why are you so clear?" Yao Tao knew Wei Qing, he asked the people who were waiting for him when Deng Zongqi went to Qingzhou, these people were just servants, but Wei Qing was Wei Changfeng's guard, and he was only a disciple of the Wei family, even though he was kind and kind to Deng Zongqi's subordinates...... Don't you tell me that my parents are dead and I have two younger sisters, right?

"That's a coincidence." Yao Tao smiled slyly and said, "When Gongzi and his party were staying overnight at the foot of Xiaozhu Mountain, because their clothes were wet, they borrowed robes from Na Wei Qing to change. The son of the Duanmu family in the middle saw that the clothes taken out by Wei Qing were delicately embroidered, and thought that Mrs. Wei Qing had done it, so he praised it. So Wei Qing said that his mother had passed away a long time ago, and the clothes were all made by his sister. ”

"Then how do you know it's two sisters?"

Yao Tao said with a smile: "But it was the sixteenth son of the Liu family who interjected, and the zanna embroidery pattern is two styles, both of which have reached the point of perfection." Childe's group praised Wei Qing's sister for her embroidery skills, and she was able to master two embroidery styles at a young age - she originally borrowed Wei Qing's clothes, so she had to say something polite. As a result, Wei Qing explained that he had two younger sisters, and they took turns embroidering in two styles. ”

Deng Guifei also smiled: "It's really a coincidence." ”

Yao Tao asked, "What about this?" ”

"Horizontal and vertical bends are just as good as the pipe." Deng Guifei said, "There are still two or three years to delay!" Just passing by Fengzhou, who knows if it will be seen by hearsay? What's more, Qi'er bends a younger sister, and may not be willing to marry her far away. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate again, "Even if Wei Qing is really good, he is Wei Changying's brother, and he is friendly with Wei Changfeng." Wanwan married him, and Qi'er will have a chance to see Wei Changying again in the future...... Don't ...... Don't make a fuss! ”

Yao Tao hurriedly said: "Although the son is young, he has always been cautious. Even if he expressed his good impression of Wei Changying, he didn't even say it here, so it can be seen that he was out of affection and stopped being polite. In fact, it is called a maid, although the little Zhushan maid has never been there, but Zhushan must be green, and the Wei Changying was born beautiful, wearing a fiery red dress and strolling on the bank of the Qingxi in the middle - how beautiful this scene is, can the idle young man not be tempted when he sees it at first glance? But if you ask Childe to watch such a scene a few more times, maybe he won't take it to heart. In the final analysis, the son has always been polite and does not go in and out of the place of the hook, and he has seen too few women to ......"

These words reminded Deng Guifei, who clapped her hands suddenly and said, "Yes, yes!" Bengong said that Qi'er had seen Wei Changying on Xiaozhu Mountain and saved her, thinking that Wei Changfeng and Gu Ziming were both there, at most polite two words, how could she fall in love with this woman? Speaking of which, I blame the brother of the main palace! Qi'er's father is not good, and he shouldn't be angry with children! Not to mention withholding the property that their brothers and sisters deserve, causing their brothers and sisters to have a hard time, Qi'er hurts her sister again, and since she has made up for Yiwei, all the money she has earned has been used to buy fat powder jewelry for Wanwan to dress up, and she is reluctant to spend anything. How could he run to the land of the fence to see? He is young, just strong-blooded, he has not seen many women, the bamboo forest is red, the shadow by the stream, it is really not strange to fall in love at first sight! ”

"So the maid thinks that the mother should not worry too much about the son, who hasn't seen an amazing person when he was young? After seeing a lot over the years, I know that it is just like this......" Yao Tao pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't Niangniang also sigh that the eyes of the queen today are really fascinating?" But after seeing Miao Jieyu, don't you feel that the queen's eyes are ...... Sometimes compared to Miao Jieyu, it's just a dead fish bead? ”

Concubine Deng Guifei liked to listen to the words of the buried queen, and laughed when she heard the words: "It's the same, what love at first sight...... It's really hard to fall in love, but now it's just beauty, and it's easy to do. If you inquire about who has a gorgeous and colorful young lady, the palace arranges for Qi'er to see her more, and he will know that although Wei Changying is beautiful, this imperial capital is full of talents, and it is not without people who can overpower her in appearance. For example, Liu Ruoye is an example - it's a pity that the eleventh daughter of the Liu family, although she was born with a good appearance, but her heart is not right, even if she is not biased towards Weiyang Palace, this palace, I don't worry that she has brought the Qi'er of this palace! ”

Yao Tao said with a smile: "According to the maid's opinion, if the mother is worried that the son's infatuation with Wei Changying will delay the future. In fact, it is not necessary to marry the son, it is better to choose a few innocent and beautiful people and serve the son first! In this way, the son is well-informed, and it will not be easy to be confused by beauty. ”

"It's not like this palace hasn't thought so." Deng Guifei shook her head and said, "But you think, Qi'er and Wanwan are now dependent on each other, and there is no elder to help take care of them." This kid's wrist is not enough, and now he is in charge of a few old servants, and he is also loyal to the group of people who have served their brothers and sisters for many years, so that the house is kept in order. In case these beautiful concubines intrigue with each other and make a mess in the backyard, but Wanwan can't control them, isn't Qi'er worried in the end? Moreover, Qi'er will also have a reputation for being beautiful, and it will be difficult to say goodbye in the future, in case you want to say the daughter of the high gate. ”

Yao Tao hurriedly said: "It's the maid who is confused, thanks to the mother's discernment, otherwise the maid will hurt the son!" ”

"So let's marry him first." Deng Guifei didn't blame her, but said cautiously, "After that, if he still remembers Wei Changying, it will not be too late to arrange a beautiful concubine for him to be distracted." ”
