Chapter 511: Waiting for an Opportunity
In a small courtyard on the edge of the back house, Bo Xinlan was playing with a rattle. The slave maid sent by Mama Jin to deliver the message had just left, but Bo Xinlan seemed to have been used to it for a while, and she didn't care about the new Huo Meiren.
Dongxue stood aside, looking at Xing'er blinking her eyes in the dark water, and her heart was heavy. After a while, he still said in a low voice: "Master, that woman from the rivers and lakes was named a beauty as soon as she entered the house, which shows that His Royal Highness has a lot of love for her." ”
Bo Xinlan shook her head and smiled: "Not necessarily." His Royal Highness came back yesterday, why was it sealed today? If it's really someone on the tip of your heart, don't you have to hurry to see it? Your Highness's temper, when can you wronged yourself? If you really like it, I went to her room last night, how could I go back to Zhaodeyuan to 'keep the empty room alone'? ”
Hearing Bo Xinlan say this, Dongxue also felt that this was the case, and was a little relieved.
Bo Xinlan knew her concerns. The more favored people in the house, the less chance she will have to regain her favor. If you don't regain favor for a long time, isn't it the same as being beaten into the cold palace? Wine does not see the light of day, and everyone can trample on it. When the time comes, they only have two hands and two pairs of feet, how can they resist the eyes of so many famous and powerful people?
She was also worried about these before, afraid that when she had not yet been reset, a new person would occupy her original position, and even be pregnant. In this way, wave after wave, she really has no chance to turn over.
But now, she doesn't worry about that at all. On the contrary, I hope that the newcomers will enter a lot, so that His Royal Highness and Rong Yunxi will forget her for a while. By the time they all think of her, I'm afraid it's already a different world.
Thinking about it, Dongxue is a clear-minded person, and the fate of the two of them has been firmly tied together, so there is no need to hide it. gave the rattle to Xing'er and let him play with it. While looking at Xing'er, he said: "Now that the prince has been deposed, who do you think is the most likely person to take this position?" ”
Hearing Bo Xinlan's voice was very meaningful and solemn, Dongxue couldn't help but become a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "Yes...... His Royal Highness King Chen. ”
Bo Xinlan nodded and said, "Yes, it is His Royal Highness King Chen of our family." ”
"The crown prince is deposed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good time", the corners of Bo Xinlan's mouth hooked, "Your Highness will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, I am afraid that it will not be a year...... We are in the back house of the 'Prince'. At that time......"
The smile on the corner of Bo Xinlan's mouth became stronger: "This time the Queen Mother can save us." I felt that there was definitely something wrong with Rong Yunxi's stomach, but His Royal Highness doted on her, and the two of them kept it a secret. If Rong Yunxi's stomach doesn't move after a year, those concubines in the house, even if someone is lucky enough to get pregnant, and the child is born, the status is 108,000 miles away from Xing'er......"
"At that time, there is no need for us to worry, in order to let His Royal Highness keep the position of the crown prince, the queen mother and the imperial concubine will definitely mention my position. So we don't have to worry, this year, the more new people in the palace, the better. The more newcomers there are, the less Rong Yunxi's eyes will be on us, so that we can make ourselves safe and stable, and wait until the plaque in the palace changes its name......"
Speaking of that time, Bo Xinlan couldn't help but have some expectations, and the look in her eyes became a little brighter, and she said with a smile: "At that time, we will have time to plot again." It's just that what we wanted to plot at that time was not as simple as a little beauty and a side concubine. Then...... Once Rong Yunxi falls, in order to stabilize His Royal Highness's position, the head of the palace will definitely make the decision, so that I, who already have an heir, will sit on the position of this concubine. ”
Dongxue listened, and couldn't help but look forward to it, and said with a smile: "It's still the master who thinks long-term, and the slave and maid are short-sighted, and they are still focused on the gains and losses in front of them!" In this way, before His Royal Highness seeks the position of crown prince, the master will instead be an inconsequential person, and on our side, the quieter the better?"
Bo Xinlan nodded and said, "Yes, the quieter the better." We've got to hold our heads...... Whoever has the last laugh will have the best laugh. ”
Dongxue understood it and promised: "Don't worry, the slave and maid will be stable in the future, and the master will never be worried." ”
Bo Xinlan said with confidence: "I know that you have always been safe, as long as you survive this period of time, the good days are ahead." ”
The master and servant looked at each other tacitly and smiled, obviously they were both very calm people.
In fact, Bo Xinlan was very worried in her heart. What she said to Dongxue was just a possible situation, and there was another possible situation, she didn't tell Dongxue.
If King Chen really becomes the crown prince, the queen mother and the imperial concubine, in order to stabilize his position as the crown prince, must first show his heirs, which is true. But...... Will it definitely make her mother and son expensive? It is likely that the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine will be in charge and give this child to Rong Yunxi. At that time, she had no way to call for help, and there was no other way but to wait for death.
But she can't say this to Dongxue. said that, it's just a rebellion that adds to people's hearts, so it's better to give Dongxue a reassurance, so that she can live in peace this year.
Whether it was the situation she said to Dong Xue, or another situation she was hiding, before King Chen became the crown prince, her response was the same. That is-An An is divided into this, and it is best to make people forget that she exists. Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't live to the time when King Chen becomes the crown prince.
No matter what the situation is, she will only have a chance to deal with it if she lives until then. Otherwise, you won't even have the blessing of seeing the palace plaque.
After the noise of the slaves and maids in the morning, the palace at this time was as quiet as before.
Bo Xinlan looked at Xing'er, and only felt that she was willing to suffer from the grievances of this year, even if she suffered for two or three years, as long as the final result was good.
Once she becomes a mother, she really only has her own children left in her eyes. The original feelings for King Chen, which I didn't dare to show in my heart, were no longer visible at this time.
In her life, she seems destined to fight for survival. Any emotion is a luxury for her. Gradually, I got used to it.
In the past, she was trying to find a life for herself, but now it's not just for herself, but also for Xing'er.
The road is long, regardless of the honor and disgrace of this time. Endure the humility and loneliness for a while, and only then can it last for a long time.
……
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yingyue had been "sick" for half a month, but King Yong still didn't come to see her. King Yong didn't come, Qin Yingyue couldn't find any opportunity to annoy him, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Now the calm in Kyoto City is only temporary, but I am afraid that after a period of silence, there will be a strong wind and rain.
When I was worried about the meeting, I suddenly saw Zhang Fuhai come to report, saying that King Ling's concubine Cai had just given birth to a baby girl last night, and King Yong asked her to go to the meeting with a congratulatory gift.
Qin Yingyue, who was lying sick on the bed, said with a smile: "This is a good thing, but my body is so unlucky, if I go to the Lingwang Mansion, won't it collide with the joy of others?" I'm afraid I can't get over. You went to ask Your Highness, I prepared a congratulatory gift, and only let Xiao Tao send it, okay? ”
Zhang Fuhai replied and retreated.
Xiao Tao was puzzled and asked, "Niangniang, if you don't go...... Wouldn't it make His Royal Highness even more dissatisfied, and even more cold to his mother? ”
Qin Yingyue said with a smile: "I just want him to treat me coldly...... It's not enough to let him treat me coldly, but also let this cold treatment be spread. ”
Seeing that Xiao Tao didn't understand very well, Qin Yingyue didn't explain much to her. Always explain it to her clearly, which is not a good thing for her. Let her think about it for a while, even if she can't think through it completely, it's better than waiting to eat ready-made.
"You pay attention and see what arrangements are made on His Highness's side." Qin Yingyue commanded.
Although Xiao Tao didn't understand what the arrangement of His Highness that Qin Yingyue was referring to, she didn't dare to ask. I can only think that I can just be cautious later, and I will go and see.
In the afternoon, Xiao Tao, who went out to investigate, came back to report and said in a low voice: "Niangniang...... His Royal Highness asked the ice beauty to go to King Ling's Mansion with gifts. The slave had just seen her go out in a carriage. ”
Qin Yingyue didn't have any angry look, nor did she have any sense of worry. But just calmly ordered: "If you let people speak, you will say that Your Highness is afraid that she has the intention of abolishing Princess Yong, and even let the beauties who are rightfully favored do such things that should be done by the princess." ”
"Yes." Xiao Tao answered. At this time, I already understood the general idea in my heart.
It seems that Niangniang wants to make King Chen think that she has been treated coldly and feels sorry for her. This is to see the reaction of His Royal Highness King Chen.
"Have you figured out King Chen's whereabouts for a while?" Qin Yingyue asked.
Xiao Tao shook her head: "Your Highness has been going back to your home almost after the court, and you won't go to the land of smoke and willows, our people really can't catch His Highness's whereabouts." ”
Qin Yingyue frowned, so she had to order, "Keep staring." ”
Xiao Tao said this, she didn't think that the people below were incompetent, but judging from the current situation, it was indeed impossible for King Chen to be as foolish as before.
But this state should not last long. Because if King Chen is smart enough, he can't let his ambition to win the throne be revealed. Suddenly changed his style of acting and became well-behaved, wouldn't it be tantamount to showing the whole world that this king has the heart to fight for the crown prince's position, and this king must behave well to win the favor of his father?
King Chen is not so stupid.
The rules for a while are probably just a test, trying to test the meaning of the emperor and the ministers of the court and the central government to his intentions. When everyone thought that he had the intention of seizing the heir, he suddenly had a reversal, and he became a fool again, which made people scratch their heads.
