Concubine Hui sneered: "It's only because you can say this kind of thing, how dare you mention it casually as someone else." ”

The good concubine bowed her head and said without scruples: "But the brothers have grown up, and all dynasties have come over like this, so there is nothing that cannot be said." Niangniang has been in the deep palace for so many years, don't you look forward to this day, and now, the concubines also seek a stable life, but if you and the eighth elder brother are not good, the concubines are afraid that they will not be good. ”

"How can it be bad to follow Concubine De? She has taken care of you all these years. Concubine Hui turned her face away and stopped looking at her, and said indifferently, "You and I have nothing to say, let's stop here." No matter what calculations you make, don't think about calculating on me, you and I are both people who know the roots, so why bother to pretend. ”

Concubine Liang said: "The concubine didn't plan how the mother would treat me, but for the sake of the eighth elder brother and myself, I have to say something." If the mother really doesn't want to hear it, she will blast the concubine out at this moment. If it is ......" She came up a few steps and sat down where Concubine Hui wanted her to sit, took the tea served by the palace maid, opened the lid and looked at Concubine Hui and said, "If the mother rewards the concubine with a sip of tea, listen to the concubine finish speaking." ”

Concubine Hui looked at her with disgust, but before she could speak, Jue Chan had already said to herself: "Big brother has been beautiful for so long, from the end of last year to this year, everyone has seen the credit and hard work of governing the Yongding River, and suddenly everything was removed because of a cold and heat, and the prince followed closely, Niangniang, what do you think, why is this?" ”

Concubine Hui turned her face coldly: "It's better for you to talk less about the East Palace, since you know that you are a mother and a son who have come to this point, you should understand that there is no place for you to speak in this palace." ”

But Juechan turned a deaf ear and continued: "Probably many people think that the emperor has the intention to cultivate the prince and deliberately weaken the light of the eldest brother, so Niangniang will think so in her heart, right?" ”

Concubine Hui coughed dryly and was silent.

"The concubine thought that the emperor gradually snubbed the eldest brother and focused on praising the prince, letting him govern the Yongding River, and letting him supervise the country and listen to the government, all of which had another purpose behind it." Jue Chan's face was not shocked, as if talking about ordinary things, counting the current situation one by one, and then mentioning the death of Concubine Min and Da Fu Jin, and asked Concubine Hui, "The poison on Princess Wen Xian's initial wedding banquet went straight to the eldest brother, and Concubine Min was just innocently implicated and died, no matter how this matter is calculated, it can't be counted on you and Lord Mingzhu." ”

Concubine Hui scolded angrily: "Nonsense, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Jue Chan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's not as strange as the death of the sixth elder brother. ”

This sentence poked at Concubine Hui's weakness, although the sixth elder brother was not killed by her, but who could Mingzhu kill the prince for at the beginning, Concubine De didn't come to deal with her all these years, she had already burned high incense. At this moment, he had to try to suppress his expression, unwilling to expose his weakness in front of the Juechan clan, got up and turned his back on the concubine, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, if not, kneel down, I am uncomfortable, don't make the people in my palace drive you out." ”

A cold smile appeared in the eyes of the concubine, and she said modestly: "Niangniang knows best who the concubine is in her heart, although he is long gone, but he still has a wife and children alive, I am not for others, but also for him to keep the bloodline, if Lord Mingzhu is frustrated again, the life of Nalan Mansion will be even more difficult, and who can their orphans and widows expect to live in the future." ”

Concubine Hui's angry aura was only slightly lighter, and whether it was the eighth elder brother or the Juechan family, whether she wanted to be rich or noble, Concubine Hui couldn't believe it, but when she mentioned Nalan Rongruo and mentioned that she wanted to save an ancestral shade for Rong Ruo's children, he believed it.

Concubine Liang continued: "This time, I'm afraid that the emperor will start to lay out the layout from the time Concubine Min is angry, and he will raise Concubine Min all the way to the concubine position, just to give the thirteenth elder brother a decent look, and giving the thirteenth elder brother decent is equivalent to telling everyone that this matter is not over." Niangniang must also know the truth of ascending and falling, the emperor's attitude towards the prince for so many years has not been close to him, and now suddenly everything can be handed over to him, it is obvious that this is unusual, Lord Mingzhu should not have told you that Queen Hesheri's mother's family is gathering power. ”

Concubine Hui snorted lightly: "You live in Yanxi Palace, and you know a lot of things. ”

The good concubine said: "What secrets can there be in this palace and outside the palace, take a little effort to inquire, and you have everything." She smiled indifferently and said to Concubine Hui, "Whether it is the death of Concubine Min Dafujin or the troubles involved in the murder of the Internal Affairs Office this time, the emperor is forcing the prince's grandfather to go step by step, and the reason why he suddenly kicked the eldest brother out of the game is obviously because he doesn't want the eldest brother with significant meritorious achievements to be involved, the emperor is willing to protect the eldest brother, what do you think?" ”

Concubine Hui's heart was hot, thinking that the eastern and southern tours were the emperor's soothing attitude towards her, and thinking of the gentle words when they met occasionally at these times, could it really be that because of Yinyu's contention, she, who had been neglected for more than ten or twenty years, had a future to look forward to?

"The concubine thinks that this incident must be aimed at the prince and the queen's mother's family, and the eighth elder brother and the third elder brother happened to bump into each other, so the concubine is worried that he will cause you trouble." Jue Chan got up and walked around to Concubine Hui, looked at her and said, "Please also ask Niangniang and the eldest brother to stabilize, no matter how this matter develops, if it falls on the crown prince and Lord Suo Etu, please and the eldest brother must stay out of the matter." No matter how much the concubine says, don't do anything that falls into the ground, otherwise the emperor will also disgust you and the eldest brother. ”

Maybe Concubine Hui calmed down and discussed with Mingzhu slowly, and she would come up with such a result, but now she was upset, and the trouble between the eighth elder brother and his wife made her even more disgusted, her son's errand had not been settled, and she didn't know where she had angered the emperor, but now that she heard the explanation of the bystander of the Chan clan, she suddenly felt that everything made sense.

Concubine Liang said again: "Maybe you will be worried, what if the emperor still goes to Lord Mingzhu?" After all, something happened to the Internal Affairs Office, but the concubines felt that although the emperor was wise and unpredictable, the emperor also had his usual style and temper, and some things looked different on the surface, but the number of roads was the same. ”

Concubine Hui has completely calmed down, compared to personal grievances, it is inevitable that her son and her own future are more important, if the emperor really thinks about her and the eldest brother like this, her heart will be even more shaken because of the southern tour and the eastern tour, she is just a woman after all, at this age, she can't help but want to rely on her husband.

But on that night more than ten years ago, she had long been desperate for this, and now, is it too late?

"The concubine's words are all here, the eighth elder brother relies on the mother and the eldest brother, and Rong Ruo's wife and children cannot be helpless, these are the wishes of the concubines, and I hope that the mother will think twice and the eldest brother will have a good life, the elder brothers are getting older, and many things are on the table no matter how obscure they are, and they can fight generously to have a future, don't you say?" After the good concubine said that, Concubine Hui was deeply blessed, and turned around to leave.

Concubine Hui looked at her back coldly, and didn't call out to her until Concubine Liang disappeared in front of her, originally she still wanted to ask: "What kind of calculation are you playing?" ”

When the concubine walked out of the Changchun Palace, the sunset had fallen and the night was falling, the cold wind in late autumn and early winter was blowing on her body, so cold that people couldn't help but shake their spirits, and the bottom of the flower pot stepped on the green brick ground, she laughed self-deprecatingly.

Fang just walked away from Concubine Hui's bedroom step by step, and was ready that Concubine Hui would call her to question, she had words in her heart that she couldn't answer, but she had already told Concubine Hui in her words just now, she wanted to see Concubine Hui in the future when she remembered today's words, the deepest despair on her face. Of course, these words cannot be said now.

On the streets of the Forbidden City, there are almost no people walking outside, and in winter, people want to huddle together to keep warm, and at this moment there are thousands of lights.

The lantern outside Princess Wenxian's house illuminated half of the street, but there was no one walking by for half a day, the lantern was lit from the door of the house all the way to the courtyard where the princess lived, and the palace maid and eunuch stood inside and out, preparing to serve the princess at any time, but the princess did not pass the meal for a long time, and it seemed that it was going to be the same as a few days ago, and the princess did not need to eat until the forehead returned.

In the room, Wen Xianzheng was sitting alone at the dining table, the empty table was not prepared anything, there was always a table full of dishes before, but Shun Anyan did not return for a long time, and it was easy to come back, a table of food was already cold, and he always said: "Didn't I send someone to tell the princess, I have to hand in an errand to return, the princess don't wait for me." ”

Therefore, Wen Xian doesn't prepare meals now, and when Shun Anyan comes back, if he hasn't eaten yet, he will eat a hot bite together. Who would have imagined that the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves would even have such a difficult time to have dinner with her husband.

The nurse listened to a few words in front of the door, frowned and turned back to the princess, and said helplessly: "The princess is still in the uncle's mansion, and the uncle seems to be discussing something important with them. The nurse sighed lightly, "You didn't use snacks in the afternoon, you must be hungry at this time, let the slave maid pass the meal." ”

Wen Xian said with a cold expression: "He's just a forehead, how many things are too busy to do, Huang Ama Rili can find time to accompany Eniang and us to dine, what is he busy with?" ”

The nurse comforted: "It's good that the forehead is back, and he is always with you at all times." ”

Wen Xian glared at the nurse and said, "What do you know?" But after all, the nurse is the one who has taken care of herself for twenty years, Wen Xian just couldn't help but lose her temper, and quickly calmed down, and then ordered, "Go to the uncle's mansion to spread my will, and this princess will return to the house immediately, and the big things can't go against my will." ”
