Li Suining was silent for a moment, remembering the topic of this trip, he barely pulled the corner of his lips and leaked a very faint wry smile.

"Forget it, my affairs have become a fait accompli now, and it is useless to say more.

But you, what is the purpose of asking me to come today, and don't care about him anymore. ”

Jiang Ruliu snorted when he heard this, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he finally got back to business.

"Actually, it's nothing special, but I heard that there was news from the palace recently, and Concubine Jiang may have encountered some trouble."

Li Suining raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Jiang Ruliu's sister-in-law is named Jiang Ruqin, who is a "concubine" Jiang in the harem of Emperor Jing, the son of heaven in the Southern Dynasty.

He didn't expect that Jiang Ruliu asked him to come here today, but it was actually for Concubine Jiang's mother's affairs.

I saw Jiang Ruliu scratching his head, and continued with a look of embarrassment:

"You should know a little bit about my father's mother's personality, they are all old stubborn and pedantic who are used to articles, especially my father, who is the most particular about Tianchen Guli Tiandi Jun and his teacher.

He felt that a married daughter should abide by women's morals, teach her husband and children, and serve her husband well, and her mother's relatives should not inquire too much about and interfere in her husband's situation.

But if my sister marries into a nearby family, it will be fine, but as long as our Yingzhou Jiang clan stands one day, no one will dare to despise and humiliate my sister.

However, she married into the nine-fold palace and became the concubine of the Son of Heaven, and she is still the lowest-ranking 'concubine' in the palace.

It is said that this deep palace is lonely, and I think it doesn't hurt, as long as people are safe.

But our concubine Jiang seems to have been in big trouble recently, and I, as an elder brother, will inevitably be worried. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Suining's eyes.

Recently, there are indeed some rumors in the city that never sleeps that have spread to Zhaoge City, that is, Concubine Jiang offended Wan Shufei Niangniang, who favored the harem.

It is said that Concubine Shu looked down on this new concubine Jiang who had entered the palace for two years, not only targeted her everywhere, but also embarrassed her in public at the beginning of every month when she asked for peace in the queen's palace, so that she could not get off the stage in front of the palace.

Not only that, I heard that even the swing in the imperial garden that Jiang Concubine Jiang Ruqin loved was ordered by Concubine Wan Shuniang to be dismantled on the grounds of "unsightly and unorthodox".

Concubine Shu's position is much higher than Concubine Jiang, and she is the most noble concubine in the harem of the Sleepless City, except for the Queen Bai's family.

At the same time, because His Majesty the Emperor ignored Concubine Shu's many intolerable and domineering behaviors, so that Concubine Jiang is now struggling and very aggrieved in the palace.

Of course, above the court, this is just a small matter in the harem, and almost no one cares about it.

But Yingzhou Jiang couldn't ignore it and regarded it as a trivial matter.

After all, they are Concubine Jiang's mother's family, and they are also Concubine Jiang's biggest reliance on the temple!

At the same time, some civil officials and scholars who are related to each other and have the same spirit as the Jiang clan in Yingzhou also have a lot of complaints about the concubine Wan Shu, who was born in the deep palace.

In their opinion, His Majesty the Son of Heaven will naturally not be wrong, but he has been deceived by traitors.

Then the only one who is at fault is the concubine Wan Shu, who is not on the stage and has a small family!

It's just that the concubine favors the harem, which is the best in the city that never sleeps, and it is said that even the queen of the middle palace, Xiao Bai, is unwilling to face its edge easily;

In addition, her mother clan does not have anyone who can stand above the temple, and Her Majesty's attitude has always been subtly maintained, so that even if these families want to make trouble, they will not be able to find a reason and a goal in the court.

…… That's pretty annoying.

It's no different from punching into soft cotton.

Even Jiang Ruliu, the elder brother who has always loved his sister, has a feeling of powerlessness and no way to start.

So after thinking about it, he asked Li Suining out.

After all, Li Suining is the eldest son of Li Suhe, the commander of the Nine Gates, and Li Suhe has many eyes and ears above the court, and he has only a lot more connections than their Yingzhou Jiang clan in the court.

And Li Suining has now become the concubine of the eldest princess of Pingyang, and the contacts he has contacted have also jumped from the original single military general level to the level of the Zhaoge powerful royal family, and it is unknown whether he can really help him.

Although Jiang Ruliu's wife is also a noble daughter of the Fu royal family, before the county lord of Huining got married, after all, she was only the daughter of the king of a remote county, and she was far away from the power center of Zhaoge when she was in the boudoir.

And his father-in-law, the king of Huai'an County, is even more like his name, a rich and happy idler, and he can't say anything in Beijing.

So in the end, after thinking about it, only his friend Li Suining was more reliable.

It's just that Li Suining's current situation in the royal family is really embarrassing, and he actually knows a little about it.

So he was so troublesome and involved, and he was a little embarrassed to be cheeky and cheeky, so he was embarrassed to speak after hesitating for a while.

It wasn't until Li Suining asked again and again that he confessed frankly.

Sure enough, Li Suining listened to Jiang Ruliu's request, contemplated it, and didn't speak for a while.

After a while, he said: "I do know a little about Concubine Jiang's mother.

Maybe...... It's a little more detailed than the version you know that is widely circulated in Zhaoge City. ”

"Oh?"

Jiang Ruliu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Niangniang has been in the palace for less than three years, and except for major festivals, foreign women are not allowed to enter the palace to save their relatives."

So it's been almost two years since I beat my mother and entered the palace, and my mother hasn't seen my mother in person.

Regarding the bitterness between my concubine Jiang Niangniang and Shufei Niangniang, most of us have different opinions and hearsay, so do you have more accurate news there? ”

Li Suining raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Yes, I once overheard the eldest princess of Pingyang jokingly talking about this.

She and the queen are cousins, and they have grown up in the court since childhood, even if they are married outside the palace now, there are still some cronies in the palace. ”

Jiang Ruliu was overjoyed, and sure enough, it was right for him to come to find Li Suining.

He asked repeatedly, "What did the eldest princess of Pingyang say?" What is the reason for this, is my sister Concubine Jiang really bullied as rumors? ”

Li Suining was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"I heard that the cause of the incident was that Concubine Jiang was happy to see that the tree species in the Zhaohua Hall were particularly special.

Seeing that the Zhaohua Hall had been uninhabited for a long time, he asked the queen if she could give her a tree in the courtyard of the palace. ”

Jiang Ruliu frowned when he heard this, and thought, "Just because of a tree?

But Ruqin is asking for a reward from the queen, what does this have to do with Concubine Wan? Could it be that Concubine Wan also fell in love with that tree? Wait—"

Speaking of this, Jiang Ruliu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he muttered:

"Zhaohua Palace, Zhaohua Palace? This name sounds familiar."

He pondered for a moment, and his face changed suddenly!

The next moment, the voice rose several degrees—

"Zhaohua Palace? That! Isn't that the former residence of the eldest princess Tianchen in the city that never sleeps when she was young? ”

Li Suining bowed his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Li Suining's reaction, Jiang Ruliu immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, and his face was blue and red for a long time, and finally he could only sigh:

"Tsk! Ruqin. She's confused! It's just that she grew up in Yingzhou since she was a child, and maybe she really didn't know the allusions in the palace, so she offended Chitose and made a big mistake! ”

Li Suining looked at him silently and did not speak.

Jiang Ruliu leaned back in his chair and put down the empty wine glass in his hand heavily.

"No wonder. No wonder Concubine Wan Shu took advantage of this to attack Ruqin, but His Majesty let it go and did not dissuade her, Ruqin clearly stabbed His Majesty's heart this time! ”

How noble is the identity of the eldest princess of Tianchen?

Even if the eldest princess is not in Beijing now, but in the Shentai Palace outside Zhaoge City, every grass, tree, brick and tile in her former residence is not allowed to be blasphemed by others.

Jiang Ruliu's eyebrows are deeply locked.

Since this matter is the first fault of Concubine Jiang, I am afraid that their Yingzhou Jiang clan is really not good to jump out to support her again, otherwise I am afraid that they will offend the king.

But what about his sister?
