Chapter 218: The Conspiracy Behind the Scenes

"Go to the concubine!" The emperor couldn't wait to share this joy with others, and originally wanted to find Hui Guiren, but unfortunately, she was from Dongyi, so let's go to Zhang Guifei if you think about this kind of thing!

When Zhang Guifei heard that the emperor was coming, she was very happy, and hurriedly packed up and came out to pick up the car.

The emperor personally helped Zhang Guifei up, "Concubine Ai, please get up, Concubine Ai is really beautiful today, but she is a lot younger." ”

Forgive the emperor for being a straight man, one sentence of praise made Concubine Zhang's face a little stiff, was she very old in the past?

But who makes the family the emperor! Zhang Guifei pulled a smile and took the emperor's arm and entered the palace, "Your Majesty, what are you happy about, tell the concubine about it, and make the concubine happy!"

"Hahaha, those who know me, love the concubine!" The emperor took the tea handed by the palace maid and patted Zhang Guifei's arm, "I have negotiated the conditions with Xiqi, a Fuling king, for a city in Xiqi, haha, Jing'er really lived up to my expectations." ”

"King Zhongyi?" Zhang Guifei couldn't laugh a little, isn't it her own son?

The emperor seemed to know her thoughts, but he was not angry, he was happy now, and it was rare to mention Zhang Guifei, "This time the two brothers did not satisfy me, and look at next time! ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the little dissatisfaction that Zhang Guifei had just now was long gone.

What about King Zhongyi, he didn't make a wedding dress for her son.

Thinking about it like this, Concubine Zhang Guifei remembered what Xu Qian had said to her when she entered the palace, her eyes rolled, she came to the emperor's side, drew a circle in front of the emperor with her hands and said: "Your Majesty, now Xiqi has settled down, but this time they lost a princess in our Tianxu, and cut the land to pay compensation, it is inevitable that there is an imbalance in their hearts, if Your Majesty wants to completely subdue them, the concubine feels that she has to give some sweetness." ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, "Concubine Ai understands very well. ”

Zhang Guifei chuckled, "This is just a little experience of the concubine helping the queen's sister manage the harem all the year round!"

"My concubine is smart, so tell me, how to give sweetness?"

Zhang Guifei took her hand, got up and pinched the emperor's shoulder, and laughed, "Your Majesty, the concubine is a woman, whether it is good or bad, Your Majesty don't blame it." ”

"I really don't blame you, just say it!"

The concubine thought that since she wanted to completely subdue Xiqi, she had to use a marriage. Zhang Guifei said slowly, "Your Majesty, look, if the marriage is defeated, it is a harmony, if the marriage is defeated, then we call the marriage, if we send a princess over, we can not only have a look and ears in Xiqi, but also make Xiqi willingly cede the land and pay compensation, Your Majesty, what do you say!"

The emperor thought about it, didn't say yes, didn't say disagree, tugged Zhang Guifei's hand, and hugged the person into his arms, "The royal family doesn't have a princess of the right age now, whose idea is this concubine?"

"Your Majesty, is the concubine like this in your heart?" Zhang Guifei glanced at the emperor with disgust, "Isn't that princess ready-made?" Princess Kangzhao hasn't returned to Daoping Nunnery yet! When I asked the daughter of the Ling family to pray for blessings, General Ling was a hundred unwilling, and now she is just sending her to get married, presumably General Ling will not be unwilling. ”

The movement of the emperor's hand stopped, and looked at Zhang Guifei, "Kang Zhao is praying for the blessing of the country, why did the concubine say this?"

"The concubine is reckless, but the concubine feels that since the daughter of the Ling family became the princess of prayer, she herself has had frequent accidents, and the concubine is afraid that it will be a burden on the national fortune, which is not a trivial matter, but the princess who His Majesty Chrysostom is personally sealed, can't just be withdrawn! ”

The emperor thought about it carefully, as if it was really the case, and gradually fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, the corners of Zhang Guifei's mouth slowly hooked, and she continued to say: "Moreover, if Your Majesty is not at ease, it is reasonable to take this opportunity to take back General Ling's military power." Your Majesty, look!"

"Don't be in a hurry at this time, Rong Zhen thinks about it, I love the concubine, the night is long. ”

......

On the other side, Li Xiujing left the palace and went home directly.

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Xiujing has been resting in the study in the front yard, and the courtyard of Xu Tilting in the backyard is separated from it, and the two people usually don't meet deliberately, they can't see each other for a long time.

This time, the unexpected Xu Tianluo was waiting at the door.

Li Xiujing wanted to turn a blind eye, but remembering what he told her a few days ago, he couldn't help but slow down, "Is there something wrong?"

Xu Tianluo's face was gloomy, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, "Lord Wang, Zhuangzi in the south sent a basket of seafood, and I personally cooked some porridge and brought it to the prince to taste." ”

Li Xiujing's gaze swept over the food box in Xu Tianluo's hand, fell on her hand, and frowned, "No need, I've eaten!

Xu Tianluo gritted his teeth, but there was a look of grievance on his face, "Lord Wang, you may not be able to eat the porridge I made a few times in the future, even if you treat me as a sister, there is no need to be so ruthless!"

"Do you agree with what I said?" Li Xiujing loosened his brows, a little unable to believe his ears.

Xu Tianluo said with three points of grievance: "I also figured it out, since the prince has no intention of being with me, why should I be entangled!"

Li Xiujing didn't expect her to give up so easily, and he was relieved in his heart, he had always felt guilty about this life-saving benefactor's sister.

If it weren't for the person he liked, he might really let her live in the palace for the rest of her life in the name of a side concubine, but now he didn't want Ling Chuyu to be wronged at all.

For Xu Tianluo, except for him, he will agree to any other conditions.

When Xu Tianluo saw his reaction, his heart was even more sour, and he hated Ling Chuyu so much that his teeth itched.

"It's good if you want to open it, in that case, come in!"

Li Xiujing let people into the study, Xu Tianluo opened the lid of the food box, a fresh fragrance came to his nose, Li Xiujing said, "It's really fragrant." ”

Xu Tianluo hooked the corners of his mouth, with a gentleness on his face that he had never noticed, he filled a bowl for Li Xiujing and handed it over, "Lord Wang, taste it, this is what I learned from the cook lady in the south, and it is said that this is used to cook porridge over there." ”

"Thank you. Li Xiujing took the bowl and took a few sips, "It's delicious, but in the future, just let the next person do this kind of thing, I will explain to my father that I will accept you as a righteous sister, Zhongyi Wangfu, you can continue to stay if you want to stay." ”

Xu Tianluo's hand holding the bowl stiffened, and he hated it in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, and he didn't leave.
