1153.Chapter 1153 Nangong Reinstatement, Dispute over the Crown Prince
Nangong Lizhu is going to be reset?
This incident made my brow furrow.
Speaking of which, it has been almost four years since she was demoted because of the abuse of the second prince Nianyun, according to Pei Yuanhao's feelings for her, in fact, the period of this punishment is long enough, and it is already very surprising to me that I am considering reinstating her now.
Only, if she's going to be resetβ
The first thing I thought of was Nian Shen, and I asked, "Now, how is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" β
Chang Qing thought for a while and said, "Actually, the emperor really asked Nangong Lizhu to reset the throne, and the palace is not so worried about Nian Shen." β
"Oh? Why? β
She smiled faintly: "Think about it, why did the emperor belittle her for four whole years?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Over the years, the emperor's heirs have also increased. In fact, a few years ago, I was worried that Nianshen's status as the crown prince was unstable, and I thought of a lot of ways, but I must say that Nangong Lizhu has not been reset over the years, which has made Nianshen much less impacted. β
ββ¦β¦β
"You know what I mean?"
I looked into her meaningful eyes, was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.
According to Pei Yuanhao's original intention, and his feelings for Nangong Lizhu, he degraded her for four years, which is indeed a very unusual thing, and I don't believe that Nangong Lizhu has not made efforts, even Nangong Jinhong's position in the court has been stable over the years, and there is also a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ Pei Yuanhao's connivance with him, and compensation for Nangong Lizhu, because the reason why he has not let Nangong Lizhu reset is probably to take into account the position of the prince.
Once Nangong Lizhu regains the position of Concubine Li, who is above 10,000 people under one person in the harem, and other concubines also begin to give birth to heirs for the emperor one after another, Nian Shen will definitely be impacted by her, other concubines, and other princes.
And Pei Yuanhao himself has never been willing to put too much of his energy into the battles of these women in the harem.
Therefore, in order to stabilize the position of the prince, he can only keep Nangong Lizhu in Jieyu's position for many years, not to rise or fall, not to let her be pampered and arrogant, and not to force her to jump off the wall in a hurry, so that the risk of the prince's battle is much smaller.
But now, he plans to reset Nangong Lizhu, on the one hand, Chang Qing does have to consider being in the harem, maybe there will be another storm, on the other hand, it can also be guessed that Pei Yuanhao has no doubts about the position of Prince Nianshen at all, so he will let Nangong Lizhu be reinstated.
It's just that Nangong Lizhu is Nangong Lizhu after all.
Even if I could have plotted against Shen Rou at the beginning, and even caused her to have a miscarriage, I couldn't completely win her at all, for a woman, no matter what status, heirs, or heirs, the means that can be used to compete for favor are nothing more than that, but what Nangong Lizhu has is Pei Yuanhao's almost full heart, and it is the love that this man can't give up.
Once she is reinstated, relying on Pei Yuanhao's favor, what kind of bloody storm will she set off in the harem?
Although I have never been interested in those battles in the harem, whether it is a fight or friendship, I am stubbornly on Chang Qing's side, if Nangong Lizhu is really reset, the biggest impact is Chang Qing, and I can't bear to see her hurt in any way.
But-
I frowned slightly, and said: "Niangniang, you have also seen Jin Yao, she-her personality, even if she really enters the palace and is with Niangniang, I think she will only make trouble for Niangniang, and she won't help much." β
Unless, it is a newcomer to invite the holy favor, but who can inherit the grace that can surpass Nangong Lizhu?
Hearing me say this, Chang Qing also sighed lightly.
Her ability to recognize people is not bad, this time Jin Yao entered the palace, she must have seen this girl's temperament, for now, Yang Jinyao is not a girl who can survive well in the harem at all, let alone help the queen.
Chang Qing frowned and muttered, "Then who else can help me?" β
I looked at her and didn't speak.
As if sensing my gaze, she glanced at me as well, and we both fell silent.
After that, the two of us talked for a while, but the content was not from this matter, I could feel the pressure brought to her by Nangong Lizhu's resumption, and at the same time, Jin Yao's happiness was also something I was unwilling to let go at this moment.
Just as the two of us were talking into the alley, we both stopped at the same time, as if we had a heart, and heard a very soft sound outside.
"The Queen."
It was Yang Jinqiao's voice.
She and I were also refreshed almost at the same time, her eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her head: "What's the matter?" β
"It's not too early, someone from the palace is urging."
ββ¦β¦β
"Please also ask the queen to drive."
ββ¦β¦β
Chang Qing glanced at me and said with a faint smile: "Every time I talk to you, the morning light passes very quickly." β
I laughed, "I also wish I could spend more time with my mother, butβ"
It's just that she and I can't help ourselves.
She sighed and stood up on the edge of the table: "Well, I'm relieved to see you today." When you get to your new house, I'll have someone come to see you. β
I nodded and said softly: "There are some things, don't worry too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." β
"Hongu understands."
As she spoke, she held my hand again, patted the back of my hand gently, and then turned around and walked over, and Yang Jinqiao was waiting outside the door, she seemed very cautious, and said: "Queen Mother, someone from the palace, waiting in the hall, please go back to the palace." β
Chang Qing nodded, and when he turned around and saw that I was going out, he raised his hand and waved: "No need to send it, you can rest for a long time." β
"Yes."
After speaking, she turned around and walked out, Yang Jinqiao followed her and walked out, before leaving, she glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and I stood at the door, and also looked at their distant backs, and soon disappeared into the winter sunshine that seemed a little thin.
After a while, I heard the sound of cars and horses outside, and the noise of people, and I knew that the queen had driven back to the palace.
As soon as she left, the food from the palace came again, still the same as before, the dishes were different, but they were spicy tastes, and for people like me, it was indeed an endless temptation.
But I just sat at the table, looking at the steaming dishes in those delicate wenge carved boxes, but did not move the chopsticks, and after a while, Yang Jinqiao's footsteps came from outside the door, I didn't let Cai Wei close the door, so I saw her come over with a complicated expression from a distance, as soon as she entered the door, she saw those exquisite dishes, she said with a smile: "The emperor really values your affairs." β
I was noncommittal, just smiled.
With an understated smile at me, her expression became a little stricter, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "What did you talk about with the queen mother just now?" β
I laughed and said, "Didn't you hear?" β
She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I don't think my life is long." β
I smiled and said calmly: "I didn't talk about anything, just reminiscing about the past, I haven't seen each other for all these years, and there is always something to say." I also talked about my views on Miss Jin Yao's entry into the palace. β
"You are very dedicated to Jin Yao's affairs."
"There's nothing, I just feel that there's no need for one more sad person. Isn't it? β
ββ¦β¦β
She looked at me with a complicated expression and didn't speak.
I continued, "By the way, there's something I want to tell you. β
"What's the matter?"
"I've been disturbing your mansion for these days, and I'm very sorry to go, besides, Lord Yang's birthday has passed, and the people in the palace these days have really caused you a lot of trouble, so it's time for me to leave."
"Where are you going?"
Feeling her suddenly nervous, I smiled faintly: "I have already arranged a place to live in the capital." β
"Oh?"
She was a little stunned for a while, looked at me for a while, and said with a smile: "You are more powerful than I thought." β
I smiled too, "But I just have more friends." β
I don't think she wants to force me to stay, after all, it doesn't have much benefit for them to stay in Yang Mansion, and I also live in the capital, Pei Yuanhao has already mastered my whereabouts, and they are no longer responsible for me, so things are very easy to do, I went directly to Yang Wanyun to ask for resignation, and he was also calm, but Mrs. Yuerong was reluctant to let me go, so she kept me, but in the end I was politely refused.
It was Yang Jinyao, who was very excited when she heard the news that I was leaving, and ran to my room to make a fuss. I also know how much the events of these days have affected her, she has already regarded me as her protector, and almost the only person she can talk to, and when I leave, she seems quite unsure about her and Wu Yanqiu's affairs, so of course, she is the one who wants me to stay the most.
I can only patiently explain to her, and promise that I live not far from her, as long as she wants, she can come to my house at any time, want me to talk, I will try my best to help her, got such a guarantee, coupled with Yang Jinqiao's control, she finally stopped.
Early the next morning, I took Cai Wei out of Yang's mansion.
Yang Wanyun was very polite, and brought several of his wives and children to send me off, I didn't have much luggage, but I also loaded a big carriage for me, and told the coachman to send it so that I didn't have to go home, even if the carriage was given to me, and even when I got to the car, I saw piles of gift boxes in the carriage.
Cai Wei smiled: "Lord Yang, they are really polite." β
I smiled and didn't speak.
The carriage slowly moved forward, in the shaking carriage, the two people did not move and did not speak, it seemed particularly boring, she owed her hands, so she moved her hands and feet to open the gift box, I scolded her twice, but I also wanted to know what was inside, so I didn't care, Cai Wei smiled and opened one, and heard her whisper: "My mother!" β
I shuddered and almost dropped the box.
I looked over and was shocked to see that it was a box full of pearls.
Cai Wei's eyes were dazzled by pearlescent light, and she said to me after a long time: "Sure enough, it is really an imperial businessman, it is really extraordinary." β
Actually, I was also taken aback, I have seen gift-giving, but I have never seen such a gift-giving.
This box is still the most inconspicuous in the pile, it is actually full of a box of pearls, I don't know what is in the other gift boxes, but I am afraid that the value is not low.
No merit is not a matter of merit, but--calculated, I may not be useless to Yang Mansion, and besides, after Yang Jinyao talked to Yang Wanyun, his attitude towards me is still the same, and he gave such a heavy gift, I also understand what it means.
Moreover, having money is not a bad thing, maybe in the future, I will make more money, these are really a drop in the bucket for the Yang family, so I simply accepted it with a clear conscience.
From Yangfu to Tongquetai, the distance is not far, and after walking for about half an hour, it will be near Tongquetai.
The location here is very good, it is a place where famous dignitaries and nobles in the capital set up houses, it is lively and prosperous, but many years ago, the night I experienced here, so that this prosperous scenery seems a little strange in my eyes.
The carriage stopped.
Although the coachman is also a local, he doesn't seem to be too familiar with this place, after all, the mansions of dignitaries here are lined up to knock on which one is not right, and I don't want too many people to see me here, I don't want to be too public, so after he asked me, he asked someone for directions.
At this moment, a passerby wearing a long shirt and looking like a scholar passed by.
The coachman said politely: "This gentleman, bother to show the way." β
The man stopped, and said amicably, "Where are you going?" β
"I want to ask, is there a house near here, surnamed Liu."
As soon as the words fell, I saw the scholar stunned for a moment, and looked at the coachman with a look of consternation on his face.
The coachman was also stunned by him seeing him like this, and subconsciously said, "What's wrong?" β
I sat in the carriage, leaning against the window, gently lifting the corner of the curtain to look out, the passer-by was obviously also a local here, the accent sounded very familiar, and his face was full of strange expressions: "What are you asking, Lord Liu's house?" β
"Yes."
The man frowned slightly, looked the coachman up and down, and then turned his head to look at the carriage.
I couldn't help but mutter.
Looking at the man's expression, why does it seem that something is wrong?
The coachman smiled: "I'm bothering you to point it out." β
The man looked at him again, but without saying anything, he raised his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "In the past street, turn left and you will be there." The boss has a house, and you can see it at a glance. β
The coachman hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you!" β
With that, he waved his whip, and the carriage staggered forward again.
I was still leaning against the window, silent, and saw that our car had gone a long way, and the scholar still stood there with a strange expression on his face, and after a while, he shook his head, as if laughing at his nosy, and turned away.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in my heart.
Is there anything wrong with this house?
However, I should not think too much about it, this road was not far in the first place, the wheels snatched a few times, and after a while, it turned a corner, and the voices here were more than the scene on the street just now, the carriage stopped, and the coachman jumped down, walked to the window and said, "Miss Yan, you have arrived." β
"Okay."
I asked Cai Wei to get out of the car first, and then walked slowly by myself, and they helped me out of the carriage.
Standing still, as soon as I looked up, I saw the house in front of me.
And at this moment, I only felt a buzz in my head, and the whole person seemed to be suddenly thundered, and the whole person froze there.
