Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lifting and Suppressing
In line with the principle of not offending both sides, Fang Yu immediately pretended to be stupid.
"Niangniang praises the concubine body so much, the concubine body has to blush, it is really the concubine who reads less, and the ink in her belly, she can only squeeze out these few sentences, that is, His Royal Highness and Niangniang are the most lenient, and they don't dislike the vulgarity of the concubine."
"You are humble." The crown princess, "If you want to be delicate, I'm afraid there are few people in our palace who can compare with you." ”
When she said this, Fang Yu smiled implicitly and didn't answer again.
Pei Yao's gaze swept over the two of them, and he didn't say anything.
Immediately afterwards, everyone present toasted in order of seating, and the crown princess also prepared New Year's gifts for everyone.
A good hosta for one person, everyone's style is different, but it is also exquisite.
For this reason, Pei Yao specially praised the princess for her virtue and kindness.
The husband and wife respect each other like guests, but they are also harmonious.
After the banquet was dispersed, Pei Yao naturally stayed in Wutong Garden.
Everyone is not sour, after all, today's banquet was organized by the crown princess, which is normal.
After coming out of Wutong Garden, Fang Yu walked with Concubine Yang and Song Shuren for a while, but Concubine Yang looked at something on her mind and spoke a little absent-mindedly.
Fang Yu saw it in his eyes, and he didn't say anything.
After separating, he gossiped with Qingrong.
"Our princess and concubine, looking at her as a gentle and generous person, actually doesn't tolerate sand in her eyes, and this time she wants to pull me out of Concubine Yang's side."
"The slave and maid look at it too." Qingrong answered in a low voice, "In the past, Niangniang also praised people, but she didn't boast like this, and she put Concubine Yang on her feet." ”
She had just served on the side, and she heard a little bit of extraneous voice.
Fang Yu narrowed her eyes, "Concubine Yang has a good family background, not much worse than the crown princess, she has made good connections since she entered the palace, and she is a bold and intelligent appearance in front of His Royal Highness, such a person is easy to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, how can the princess not guard against it?" ”
Seeing that He Liangdi was defeated, her grace was not as good as before, if she didn't make a move to check and balance, it would be easy for Concubine Yang to sit big.
In this way, there will be a deviation in the control of the backyard, which is of course not good for the crown princess.
"But the slave maid looks, His Royal Highness seems to be on the side of the crown princess." Qingrong was thoughtful.
Fang Yu smiled, "Your Highness naturally wants to stand on the side of the crown princess, unless the crown princess is really not virtuous, otherwise His Royal Highness will not be able to do the matter of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife." ”
At these times, she also knew a little about Pei Yao, so she dared to say this.
And hearing her say this, Qingrong said.
"Then Concubine Yang is going to work in vain, in our house, no matter how much favor is won't be able to surpass the crown princess."
Speaking of this, Qingrong seemed to think of something, paused and continued.
"Liangdi, do you think the crown princess will want to win you over?"
"Yo, I can't guess for sure, and look at it, this tall branch is hanging down, and it's not something that can be climbed at will."
Fang Yu hooked his lips and smiled, the clouds were light and light.
Seeing this, Qingrong also smiled and didn't ask any more.
Weiyang Pavilion.
After coming back, Concubine Yang's face turned completely cold, and she took off her cloak irritably and walked to the stove to warm her hands.
"Why is the side concubine unhappy, but there are people who don't have long eyes at the dinner party?"
Yun Qian walked out of the house with a cup of hot tea and handed it to Concubine Yang.
"It's cold outside, the slave and maid have prepared ginger tea, and the side concubine will drink two sips to go to the cold."
Concubine Yang frowned and took it, took a few sips, put down the teacup, and went straight to the small couch by the window to sit.
Yun Qian was a little confused, so she glanced at Yun Rou, who was serving with her today, and Yun Rou shook her head at her.
Seeing this, Yun Qian was silent.
After a long time, Concubine Yang took the initiative to speak.
"Look, did the crown princess see that Fang Liangdi was a little favored by His Royal Highness, so she wanted to win her over? Today's banquet is staged like that, as if I was suppressing her to elevate her. ”
As soon as she said this, Yun Rou pursed her lips.
"Whether the crown princess wants to win over Fang Liangdi, the slave maid can't guess, but today the slave and maid look at the princess and really suppress the side concubine, the most important thing is His Royal Highness."
Yun Rou wanted to speak and stopped, and the words behind her were not good to say.
However, Concubine Yang was not taboo, and only said lightly.
"Your Highness, he is defending the crown princess."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Yun Qian figured out something to taste, and then took over the conversation.
"Don't be sad concubine, after all, His Royal Highness has been with the crown princess for a long time, and his heart is long, how can he not be a little biased, when you have known His Royal Highness for a long time, His Royal Highness will naturally know your benefits, look at this palace, who doesn't praise you, Fang Liangdi's identity is also your kindness, and you are willing to get close to her."
After being comforted by these words, Yang's complexion did not ease much.
Only lowered his eyes.
"I saw that His Highness should not be too disgusted with the Fang Clan, otherwise if someone comes in, he will leave it alone, since he asked her to sleep, it means that he is not too angry, and then His Highness said those words, I became more and more sure in my heart, so I tried to get closer, after all, she is almost an orphan girl, I am good friends with her, she will definitely rely on me wholeheartedly, this is not a bad thing."
"But now it seems that this Fang Liangdi is not simple." Yun Rou said in a low voice.
Concubine Yang chuckled when she heard this.
"If she is a simple-minded person, how can she get the prince's blue eyes, looking at today's family banquet, His Royal Highness will know that she likes it when he looks at her eyes."
Hearing this, Yun Qian frowned.
"Then the crown princess suppressed you to promote her today, will she have a dislike for you?"
"Probably not." Concubine Yang shook her head, "The Fang family is smart, she won't easily offend either me and the crown princess, after all, she has no foundation, and she is tied by the grace of Her Royal Highness, but she is not as stable as our mother's support." ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of the two maids eased a lot.
Then Yun Rou spoke again, "So what the side concubine is worried about now is that the crown princess is going to be unfavorable to you?" ”
"Exactly." Yang nodded, "Let's see, I don't want to have a head-on confrontation with her yet, at least until Her Highness's attitude changes." ”
"Yes."
Yun Rou and Yun Qian responded silently in their hearts.
After the family banquet on the first day of junior high school, I haven't seen Pei Yao's shadow for a long time.
The royal family also wants to visit relatives for the New Year.
First of all, from the first day of the new year to the sixth day of the new year, you have to enter the palace every day, especially Pei Yao is the prince, you need to worship your ancestors, and there are things like kneeling in the temple, even the crown princess and Yang side concubine have to go.
These high-ranking people in the mansion were gone, so Fang Yu was idle and stretched out his hand to the house.
On the second day of junior high school, according to the rules, the married girl should be accompanied by her husband to her parents' house, so while her mother Zhao, father Fang Hongshen and the brothers of the family were not there, Fang Yu sent Qingrong to go to Fang's mansion quietly.
didn't do anything else, so I contacted Aunt Qiao's mother and daughter and sent something.
After more than an hour, Qingrong also returned.
I haven't come back empty-handed, so I brought a pair of knee pads made by Aunt Qiao herself.
