282 Scheming
Gan Xiyun didn't dare to look around. Bayi β§Chinese β― β€<<.<8β€1 In the chess room, in addition to the eldest prince, who she had seen, there were also a few people scattered around who were fighting in groups of twos and twos. The chess room was quite empty, and there was no barrier except for two vertical screens. As soon as she entered, she felt that the inside and outside of the chess room were two completely different worlds. Those who can spend time in this chess room must be the nobles of the clan, the prince and the grandson. When Gan Xiyun thought of the meaning implied in his father's letter, he felt uncomfortable for a while. The words that my father said in the letter were nothing more than for her to seize the opportunity to find a good son-in-law, probably afraid that she would not understand, so she almost didn't write out the meaning directly. When she climbs to the high branch by herself, she will be noble, and don't forget the younger brothers and sisters below. Seeing Gan Xiyun's heart, he felt cold for a while. Because of this, she was even more reluctant to come to these people. As soon as Cheng Jinrong came out like this, the eldest prince naturally couldn't refute his meaning, and asked Princess Yuyao: "What does my sister mean?" β "I won't, you guys will watch it." Princess Yuyao had no patience to learn chess, and she sat for a long time, without saying a word, and she was so bored. Besides, the black and white are intertwined, and she feels dazzled after looking at it. Gan Xiyun also knows this point, the princess doesn't even have the patience to learn the piano, and the strings were torn off the day before yesterday, if she wasn't wearing finger covers, she would have to cut her hands. It would be even more impossible for her to learn to play chess. The eldest prince said good-naturedly: "You have to see that you can, don't make trouble." β Princess Yuyao smiled and said, "I'm not a troublemaker. β Gan Xiyun looked at the situation between their brothers and sisters with envy. She is the eldest daughter and has no older brother on her. If he also had a brother...... In fact, the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao are not from the same mother. The eldest prince's biological mother was originally just a princess, and she died in childbirth, which is well known to everyone, and the emperor later saw that she was posthumously given a name for the sake of the eldest prince. But looking at the appearance of the brother and sister, there is no difference at all. Gan Xiyun thought of the concubine again, looking at her usual appearance towards the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao, if she didn't know the inside story, she really thought that it was a dear mother and son. Visible...... The fathers in the world are not all so ruthless. And those who are mothers are not all vicious and selfish. It's just that she's unlucky. Princess Yuyao sat on the sidelines and watched the eldest prince continue to play chess. But where would she honestly watch? After a while, he started to interject, and then he had to do it. "Brother Huang, hurry up." "Fall here, fall here." "Oops, eaten. Don't count, don't count, start over again. β When she made such a fuss, not only did the eldest prince and them unable to play chess, but even a few people next to her were disturbed. If others are so ignorant, everyone will definitely not bear it, but now this is a princess, and she is too young to seriously deal with her. The eldest prince was reluctant to talk about her, so he let her move the chess pieces over with a good temper, and this game of chess was abolished. Cao Shunrong, Gao Jieyu, and Li Zhaorong were sitting together picking up beads. Gao Jieyu used to be strong, love to stand out, and love to be majestic. But this year, Gao Jieyu's temperament has been much slower, and when it rains, she deliberately beat someone to say that Cao and Li will also come over to sit down. On a rainy day, Gao Jieyu invited the two to talk, and also brought out a few boxes of beads for beading for recreation. These beads are all miscellaneous beads, and of course the ones with good color are used for other purposes. But even if it is a miscellaneous bead, the bead itself is not defective, or the color is cloudy and dark, or the size does not match the others, or there are lines on the bead. Such a mixed box, the weight is really not light, and it is a little difficult for a palace maid to carry a box over. Cao Shunrong has always had elegant makeup, and the color of the beads she picked was not very bright, so she picked a plate, took a thread to string, and said casually: "I met the princess on the way here." β Li Zhaorong asked, "Which princess?" As soon as the words came out, she understood. Of course, it will only be Princess Yuyao, and it is difficult for Princess Yuyao to come back once or twice a year, let alone such weather. Gao Jieyu asked, "Where did you meet it?" β "In Waisumen." Li Zhaorong picked up a sandalwood bead, but found that this bead was not punched at all, it was a solid one, so he had to put it down and take another one, and was a little surprised to hear Cao Shunrong's words: "In Huaisumen? Princess, where are you going? β Princess Yuyao usually goes to a very limited place, either in Yong'an Palace, or to Yunguang Tower, rarely goes to the next place, not to mention that it is still raining today. "Looks like I'm going to Nanyuan." Gao Jieyu didn't care: "Oh, eighty percent is looking for the eldest prince." β These two children are quite close, as if they were born to a mother. Neither of them cared, but Li Zhaorong thought more. "It's not appropriate for the princess to go to Nanyuan, right?" "What are you afraid of, it's been half a day, the serious schoolwork has already been talked about, and it's raining again, so it's okay for the princess to go and play." "We know, but what about those who don't?" There are such first-class people, staring at the royal private affairs every day, and when the concubine was promoted to the throne, there were also people in the previous dynasty who made a noise for a while, but in the end, the concubine gave birth to a son, and she had confidence, and those people made a fuss for a while and died down. But if the princess goes to the palace to study, maybe these people will have to chew their tongues again. Gao Jieyu can't look down on those men who have no other skills except sour text and fake vinegar to fight, and they are simply boring and trivial, and they are not as good as the women of the harem. The men of the previous dynasty wanted to get ahead, and they were much more vicious than the women in the harem, in fact, to put it bluntly, didn't they also want to compete for favor in front of the emperor? But the harem women are favored, either you are born well, or your mother's family is powerful, or your belly is competitive enough, in short, you have to be a little real, I haven't heard of anyone who can say that the emperor will be fascinated. It's the same in the previous dynasty, you either have the talent to learn and the ability, or you have a good time to make contributions to the emperor, and you chatter and scold this and that all day long, and you can be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister? The emperor is not a faint monarch who listens to and believes partially, but these people don't even understand such a simple truth. As soon as Li Zhaorong said this, Cao Shunrong also nodded in agreement. "That's right. The aftermath of the last incident has not yet settled, and those people are scared when they hear the word princess. But it's raining today, and no one is there, so you don't necessarily know about it outside, right? β This is unlikely. "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and no matter how few people know, this matter can be spread." Gao Jieyu paused for a moment and asked softly: "I heard that Concubine Shen said that she was recuperating recently because of the bad weather, and Bai Meiren and Tang Cairen often went over to talk with her, have you seen it?" β Gao Jieyu will never enter Concubine Shen's door again, but Cao and Li will still move around from time to time. Hearing Gao Jieyu ask, Li Zhaorong pondered and said: "I've seen it once, but Tang Cairen seems to have got a purple cloud silk palace dress, and a pair of butterflies with cloud fragrance wings are swaying, most of them are rewarded by Concubine Shen." β Even the color of the clothes and the style of the hairpin are clearly known, which is not speculation, but certainty. Concubine Shen is not a generous person, is it just because she is well-behaved and clever to please a small talented person for no reason? Gao Jieyu didn't believe it. She always felt that Concubine Shen would not just be so honest and stay in the palace without moving. But even if she co-opted a little person like Tang Hong'er, what use could she have? Could it be that she felt that she was hopeless in competing for favor, and wanted to win over Tang Hong'er and push her in front of the emperor? The concubine is pregnant, and the emperor does not call others to sleep, so many people in the palace are left out in the cold, and they are all sour. Like Gao Jieyu, they have long passed the age of competing for favor, and Concubine Shen put the words old age and decay on her head early, and she doesn't expect to be summoned by the emperor again in this life. But Tang Honger is different, she is young, delicate, one of the last beauties to enter the palace, and she is also a very top-notch and conspicuous one. If Concubine Shen really has the ability to make the emperor pay attention to Tang Cairen and use her to compete for favor, it is not impossible. Thinking about it a little deeper, if Tang Hong'er can really accept favor and even get pregnant, her position is low, Concubine Shen can move her to live in her palace, and even Concubine Shen can take over and raise her after the child is born. This has to be said to be a clever move. But no matter how good the chess is, there must be an opponent, as long as the emperor doesn't look down on Tang Hong'er, Concubine Shen has nothing to do if she wants to break her head. Can the emperor look down on Tang Hong'er? Gao Jieyu denied this idea in her heart. No, it won't. Tang Hong'er is beautiful, but her eyes are a little too flexible, such people have a lot of eyes, and they are too clever to lose their generosity, and the emperor doesn't like such scheming and clever women. As the saying goes, being smart is mistaken for being smart. Like a concubine, that's really smart. After entering the palace, she sat on the cold bench for three years and didn't see her fight for anyone, and after being favored, she didn't form a gang to fight against dissent, and the emperor probably took a fancy to her, so he handed over the palace affairs to her. Tang Hong'er is camping around like this, which is definitely not in line with the emperor's spleen and stomach. Gao Jieyu thought very clearly, but at the same time, she also felt sad. It's a pity that she understood this truth too late. In her early years, she was young and vigorous, and she also loved to pinch the tip and be strong, and she did not leave room for others. Now she understands it, but the good years have long passed, and there is only one opportunity, and if she misses it, she can't get it back. Since she guessed that Concubine Shen might use and promote Tang Cairen, Gao Jieyu ordered people to stare at them more. A day after the rain, as Li Zhaorong and the others guessed, someone folded the matter of Princess Yuyao going to Nanyuan, thinking that the princess's move was not in compliance with the system, confusing the distinction between the previous dynasty and the harem, and advised the emperor to strengthen the control of the princess, and the words were hinting that if the emperor did not strictly discipline the princess, the matter of Princess Mingshou might be repeated in the future.
