Chapter 230: Concubine Qiong
Concubine Qin raised her eyes and saw the ice rain flying down. "Miss Xiao, my princess is worried that someone will take the opportunity to harm you, and she wants the slave to secretly protect your safety." Concubine Qin has been deposed, and there is no such person as Concubine Qin in the palace, only Xiao Biqing.
"Princess Qi has a heart, I'm like this, and there are still people who refuse to let me go." Concubine Qin smiled sadly.
"My princess said that it is better to be careful, so as not to be taken advantage of by someone with a heart."
"In that case, you must know who is trying to kill me, do you?" Concubine Qin looked at the rancid rice on the ground and said lightly.
"My princess doesn't know this, she just told me to protect your safety." Bingyu said lightly. After all, she is just Ling Ruoyi's slave, and compared to a deposed concubine, her status is higher than that of Concubine Qin, so naturally she is no better than claiming to be a slave.
"Hehe, don't you say it, I also know that there are not a few people in the palace who hate me, the queen was almost killed by me, she is one, and Concubine Qiong of Yuqiong Palace, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"In short, my princess has confessed, and recently asked me to protect your safety in the dark." Bingyu said lightly. After finishing speaking, he flew away from Wuhua Pavilion.
On the right night, Bingyu returned to King Qi's mansion, and Ling Ruoyi was playing against King Qi at the table with her long hair scattered, "Slave and maid see the princess and princess." Bingyu saluted respectfully.
"Excuse me, how's it?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly. What was asked, naturally, it was also about Wuhua Pavilion, and Ling Ruoyi didn't have the time to worry about other things.
"Back to the princess, as the princess expected, someone really poisoned Concubine Qin's food. This poisoner is ......"
"The one who poisoned her is the queen." Ling Ruoyi was very sure.
"Princess...... you know everything."
"Alas, the queen is so anxious." Ling Ruoyi sighed. She didn't expect the queen to be so uncontrollable, as the so-called gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years, and being able to become friends with the enemy is the most clever means.
"Princess, the queen is a little anxious, but the slave maid also found out that Concubine Qiong of Yuqiong Palace also came in, on the surface, this matter has nothing to do with her, in fact, she is adding fuel to the fire."
"Concubine Joan? What is the family background of this Concubine Qiong? Although Ling Ruoyi had heard of Concubine Qiong, she knew very little about her family background.
"This ......" Bingyu was in trouble, obviously, she didn't expect Ling Ruohui to ask about Concubine Qiong, naturally she didn't inquire, but in the palace, it was not easy to find out the matter in such a short time.
"This Concubine Qiong, it's not strange that Bingyu doesn't know, I know some little insiders, I don't know if the lady is interested in hearing it?" King Qi quipped.
"Okay, then let's talk about it, knowing each other and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile. Then a sunspot fell, "Call for food." ”
"Lady, you know yourself and know that you will win all battles, how can you know your other and know your confidant?" King Qi reminded with a pretended old pedantic posture.
"No, I'm not wrong, it's just that I know each other and know that I can't be defeated in a hundred battles. If you don't understand the enemy's methods, how can you defeat the enemy? Ling Ruoyi asked with a smile.
King Qi pondered for a while, and felt that what Ling Ruoyi said did make some sense, if you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the weaknesses and advantages of the other party, it really makes sense.
"Since my husband and gentlemen are on a mission, I am right, then tell me about this Concubine Qiong." Ling Ruoyi winked at King Qi and said.
"This Concubine Qiong's grandfather was my father's teacher, and Concubine Qiong's father was the teacher of all the princes and princes of the Yun family. At the beginning, Concubine Qiong was very hot, and many famous sons and princes competed to marry Concubine Qiong, but Concubine Qiong was high-spirited and vowed to marry the best and most noble man in the world. As soon as the words spread, everyone naturally understood that the daughter carefully cultivated by the Bai family was to be the queen of this Yunshang country. ”
"I think the person Concubine Qiong liked at the beginning should be you, husband, right?" Ling Ruoyi interrupted. I don't know when she started to be jealous, as long as it involves her husband, she will not hesitate to defend her marriage. That's the true love she's been looking for.
"No, the person she had her eye on was King Rui." King Qi said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, it was really shocking, there are still people in Yunshang who don't like King Qi? Like that Rui Wang, what is good about Rui Wang.
"What do you like about King Wise? Could it be that King Rui is very talented as an emperor? Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and said. Although nearly three years have passed, Ling Ruohui's hatred for King Rui has not diminished at all.
"I don't know about this husband, but at that time, Mrs. Bai was very trusted by his father, even if he couldn't become an imperial concubine, it was not bad to be a princess." King Qi said with a smile. Although he and King Rui disagreed, as soon as the two met, they were like cockfights, but it did not mean that he did not recognize King Rui's strength. In the country of Yunshang, King Rui is indeed a strong competitor of King Qi.
"Then why didn't she marry King Rui as a concubine, but instead married into the palace?" Ling Ruoyi was puzzled, this is also what she can't understand the most, since she likes King Rui so much, she should marry King Rui as a concubine, otherwise, why bother to say that the person she wants to marry must be the dragon among people, if she refuses to marry because King Rui did not become the emperor, then such a woman is just a resentful couple who can only share hardships with wealth and wealth.
"After the imperial brother ascended the throne, he paid more attention to Xiahou Guogong and Ling Xiang, and he was my old father-in-law, who contributed a lot to the emperor's accession to the throne, and also ran for the peace of the imperial brother and the surrounding countries. Xiahou Guogong was originally a tiger general, when he was young, he killed the enemy on the battlefield, and once cut off the head of the opponent's general with a knife, and Xiahou Jingqi was already an official in the court, and he protected the emperor's safety in the palace, so that the Xiahou family would be more valuable than the Bai family. ”
"In this way, the Bai family has begun to decline since Mrs. Bai retired." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. What she said really hit the nail on the head, the Bai family has declined, and the Xiahou family and the Ling family have risen, the current Xiahou family and the Ling family are really beautiful, and I don't know how many people have been jealous, it seems that she has to talk to her father well, these years, the edge of the Ling family is too strong, and it must be converged when it should be converged, otherwise, today's Bai family will be a portrayal of the Ling family.
As the saying goes, when I go to return to my homeland today, he will be the same as the monarch. The affairs of officialdom are the same as those of harem women, the harem is favored, and the former dynasty will have to contribute, and if the previous dynasty makes a mistake, the harem will be unlucky.
"That's right, does the lady want to persuade her father-in-law to resign and retire?" King Qi saw through Ling Ruoyi's thoughts, and instead of beating around the bush, it was better to ask directly.
"Well, I had this plan for a long time, but I haven't officially talked about this matter with my father, and the affairs of officialdom are changing rapidly, so it's better to retire early and enjoy your old age in peace."
"Well, it's okay to retire, in short, there is still half of my son, no one dares to do anything, and there is Yunfei." King Qi said with a smile.
Speaking of Yun Fei, Ling Ruoyi's brows furrowed even tighter, she was not worried about anything else, she was just worried that Yun Fei was young and too kind-hearted, it was not a bad thing to have a good heart in officialdom, but for people with bad people, you are a sign of unsociability, you are all good at being discordant, and you are afraid that others will dig a pit for you to jump.
"Yunfei, don't you worry, I plan to transfer him to be the commander of the Nine Gate Admiral's Infantry Army, this position doesn't seem high, but in fact, he controls the peace in the capital."
"Tiao Yunfei to be the Admiral of the Nine Gates? Could it be that you have received some message? Ling Ruoyi wondered. Although Ling Yunfei is the king of Anjun, he also has a position in the court, and he is currently an official position of the third grade, what is the commander of the Nine Gates, isn't that tantamount to a disguised demotion?
"Don't worry, I won't harm Yunfei." King Qi gently patted Ling Ruoxi's hand.
When Ling Ruoyi reacted and was about to continue playing chess, he found that his chess pieces did not know when a large number of pieces were killed. "You cheated, so I knew that I was still victorious, why did you become a loser at such a time?"
"I found the turning point when you were distracted." King Qi said bluntly. Ling Ruohui and King Qi often play against each other, and Ling Ruohui won a son and a half, it can be said that he has never really won at all, but he didn't expect King Qi to save a game of defeat so quickly, and he was really deceived by him when he saw that he was usually blinded.
"Okay, okay, let's not go down." Ling Ruoyi pouted and said angrily.
"Lady, isn't it okay to be wrong for your husband? It's all bad for the husband, and it's too much for the lady to win. King Qi was full of flattery.
"So, when I used to play chess, you let me win?" Ling Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and said.
"Of course...... Hehe, no, it's the lady's chess skills, I just happened to win this time today. King Qi knew that he had just made a mistake, so he hurriedly changed his words. I kept beating the drum in my heart, hoping that Ling Ruoyi didn't hear what he said at the beginning.
"Hahahaha......" Ling Ruoyi laughed instead of being angry, which made King Qi even more confused, is this angry or not? When you are angry, you should look angry, and you will laugh if you are not angry, but how to listen to laughter, it is more like being angry.
"Lady, if you get angry, close the door and punish me again, so many people are watching, where is the face of the husband." King Qi flattered.
Ling Ruohui looked at King Qi's aggrieved appearance, and felt even more funny, and then slowly spoke: "Husband, I know that you let me in the process of playing chess because you love me, I know what love is and what is deception." After finishing speaking, tears flashed in Ling Ruoxi's eyes.
When the two of them were in love, Uncle Zhong strode in with an uninteresting meteor, still holding a bamboo tube for the information and intelligence station of King Qi's mansion......
