Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Prince's Question
The first day of the seventh month
Everyone was in Lixiang Palace, and Concubine Yao began to say a few words, and then took everyone to greet the Queen Mother.
"Niangniang, why didn't Duan Zhaoyuan come to ask for peace today?" Naturally, it is the pear that speaks.
"The Queen Mother has not been in good health recently, and Duan Zhaoyuan is taking care of the Queen Mother." Yao Guifei responded.
"The Queen Mother has always been in poor health recently, so the concubine might as well take the eldest prince to Zhengde Palace to ask for peace, so that the Queen Mother can take a look at the eldest prince, maybe, the Queen Mother's illness will be better." It was Fu Chongrong who answered.
Hearing Fu Chongrong's words, Yao Guifei stared at Fu Chongrong fiercely, although it was only for a moment, but it was still discovered by the pear who had been observing Yao Guifei, and Fu Chongrong was glared at by Yao Guifei, so he 'revealed' a aggrieved expression, as if he didn't know where he said something wrong.
"Sister Fu's words are very reasonable, we haven't seen the eldest prince for a long time, and it's just that Sister Guifei doesn't show us, it's just that the sisters don't have this blessing, but today I don't know if we can touch the blessing of the Queen Mother." Meng Cairen said this, Meng Cairen must still remember that Concubine Yao didn't give her a promotion when she was sealed before.
After Concubine Yao listened to Meng Cairen's words, her face became even more ugly.
Meng Cairen's words are nothing more than saying that Concubine Yao looks down on the sisters in the palace, so she never lets the eldest prince come out to 'show' her face, and if you don't take the eldest prince to greet the queen mother today, you will look down on the queen mother! Although the Queen Mother's personality Yao Guifei does not say that she understands everything, she also knows so much, if she really does not take the eldest prince to ask for peace, today's matter will fall into the ears of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that Yao Guifei will offend the Queen Mother.
"Look at what Meng Cairen said, if it weren't for the eldest prince's poor health, the palace would love to hug him every day to let him get close to the sisters, but Fu Chongrong's words make sense, let the queen mother look at the grandchildren and grandchildren', the queen mother's illness can not be better, but the eldest prince has not been doing well recently, the palace thinks that if the illness is given to the queen mother, or if you go to the queen mother to say goodbye, the eldest prince's condition will worsen, and the queen mother and the emperor will blame it......" Yao Guifei solved the language trap set by Meng Cai in a few words, and moved out of the emperor and the queen mother, and no one dared to say that the eldest prince was going to ask the queen mother to say goodbye.
Concubine Yao looked at everyone, and then continued: "But although the eldest prince can't go to ask for peace, the eldest princess can go to the queen mother to fulfill her filial piety." After speaking, he said to the palace 'girl' beside him: "Qingwei, go and call the eldest princess and ask her to go to Zhengde Palace to greet the queen mother." ”
Qingwei took the order and went.
Yao Guifei seems to have solved this matter perfectly, but Li Ling smelled a hint of different meaning, you must know that the Queen Mother is not such a kind and generous person, if today's matter reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will still be dissatisfied with Yao Guifei, what is the reason for Yao Guifei not to offend the Queen Mother and not let the eldest prince go out?
Fu Chongrong must have discovered something, so he chose to let Concubine Yao take the eldest prince to Zhengde Palace at this time for this reason. Since the birth of the eldest prince, Li Ling has not seen the eldest prince, although it is because of premature birth, the body is weaker, but it is not more than five months without seeing anyone, right? Thinking about the last time a palace 'girl' overheard what Yao Guifei and the two palace 'women' said in Lixiang Palace, Li Ling guessed that Yao Guifei wanted to get pregnant, so she used a lot of forbidden 'medicine', although she gave birth to the eldest prince safely, but because of the 'medicine', there was a problem with the eldest prince's body?
If the eldest prince has a physical problem, he can hide it now that he is still young, and how can he hide it after another year and a half? Concubine Yao concealed the physical condition of the eldest prince, why? If it was said at the beginning, the emperor would be disappointed that he did not have a healthy prince at most, but if it was discovered later, it would be a crime of bullying the king!
Is it for the queen's throne? Now there is only one prince in the harem, two princesses, and Yao Guifei has two children alone, I have to say that this is her biggest bargaining chip to compete for the throne, with Yao Guifei's mind, I am afraid that Yao Guifei has already thought about how to deal with the problem of the eldest prince.
After greeting the Queen Mother, not long after Liling returned to Moshang Palace, there was a palace 'girl' who came on behalf of Jieyu.
"Why did you remember to sit here in this palace today?" Although Dai Jieyu and Li Ling reached a consensus on Bai Xing and Xin Xiuyuan, they did not have close contact on weekdays.
"The concubine is here to thank the mother the day before yesterday for sending someone to see the concubine." As she spoke, Dai Jieyu saluted the pear again.
"This palace just thinks that Xin Xiuyuan and Bai Baolin are too deceitful." Pear Ling waved her hand disappreciatively.
"This is the mother's kindness, but some people ......" said, Dai Jieyu couldn't stop having a resentful look on her face.
Seeing Dai Jieyu's behavior like this, Li Ling laughed sarcastically in her heart, in this palace, everyone is really a master of acting, does Dai Jieyu feel that she also hates Bai Xing, so she makes this appearance to resonate with herself? Dai Jieyu also underestimated herself, even if she hated someone again, she would not show it on her face and give others a handle.
"The only solution to this dog's power is to make the dog no longer rely on the power of the person, without the power behind it, won't the dog be disposed of with you?" Li Ling hinted at Dai Jieyu, aren't Bai Xing and Xin Xiuyuan so arrogant because of the emperor's favor? If the emperor no longer favors them......
"But the concubine looks, the dog can win the master's favor, how to solve it in a while." Dai Jieyu naturally understands Liling's words, but Xin Xiuyuan is so favored by the emperor that she can't pull Xin Xiuyuan off the horse for a while.
"Have you ever wondered why the dog is so popular with his master?" In fact, this is also the problem that Li Ling has been trapped in 'confusion', Dong Qilin's favor for the concubines in the harem is mainly to balance the power of the previous dynasty, Xin Xiuyuan, who was born as a mere dancing girl, has no power behind it, why does Dong Qilin love her? Although Dong Qilin loved Mei Xi before, he would not turn his face with the Queen Mother for a concubine, or even compromise, why did Xin Xiuyuan win Dong Qilin's favor so much? Could it be that Dong Qilin is really just because he really likes Xin Xiuyuan?
"The concubine knows what to do." Dai Jieyu knew what Li Ling meant, that is, the most important thing at the moment was to 'figure out' why Xin Xiuyuan was favored by the emperor, and then she could prescribe the right 'medicine' and break it down.
Seeing that Dai Jieyu understood what she meant, Li Ling didn't say anything more about this matter, but instead talked to Dai Jieyu about the sultry heat of this summer.
