When An Lingrong saw Concubine Duan, his heart was relieved.

Today's situation is no longer to be feared.

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Hua's face that stiffened a little, and couldn't help but laugh a little. She tried her best to lay out this game, thinking that without Cao Guiren's advice, she would be able to win in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect that Concubine Duan would be involved.

In the emperor's opinion, Concubine Duan has never been socially with people, in the entire palace, she is the only one who can be completely fair and just, she stood up to vouch for Zhen Huan, before she could say anything, the emperor had already believed three points, not to mention, he was expecting someone to prove that Zhen Huan had nothing to do with this matter, as for who this person was, he didn't care, Concubine Duan was this person, but it was more credible.

Concubine Duan's qi is weak, most of which is to let Ji Xiang return, but the matter is also clear.

"In this way, Princess Wenyi's affairs have nothing to do with the nobles of Guan." The queen summed it up in one sentence, and she was saying what the emperor wanted to say.

Concubine Hua still didn't give up: "Concubine Duan has always been in the palace to recuperate and stay at home, why did she ignore the advice of the imperial doctor that night and go out at night?" ”

"The moonlight on the night of Qixi Festival was excellent, and Concubine Duan was unwell and could not feast with the emperor in Changchun Garden, and it was a pity to be able to enjoy a round of bright moon together, and the concubine also sat alone in the small courtyard for a long time that night." An Lingrong raised his hand to cover the corners of his mouth and hide his smile, "Concubine Hua said this, did she think that Concubine Duan was selfish?" ”

Concubine Hua is in a hurry, the emperor has made it clear that he wants to protect Zhen Huan, and there is already a step given by Concubine Duan, but Concubine Hua still refuses to go down, she must hold on to this matter, except for exposing her fox tail, it is useless.

"This palace and the nobles of Dongguan have only two sides, why do you want to lie to protect an unfamiliar nobleman? Today's matter, this palace could have not come forward to explain, but pity Wen Yi's child, if the nobles of Guan suffer this grievance today, wouldn't the person who really hurt the princess still get away with it? Concubine Duan gasped lightly, but her eyes looked directly at Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua moved her lips unnaturally, still chasing after her: "Then why didn't the nobles of Fang Caiguan mention the meeting with you on the night of Qixi Festival?" Seeing that Zhen Huan was only one step away from falling into the clouds, how could she be willing to end like this.

At the moment, even the queen saw that the emperor was tired of Concubine Hua.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Hua impatiently, and his brows furrowed tightly.

An Lingrong saw the opportunity and added a fire at the right time: "Concubine Hua, do you have to press the charge on Sister Wan to be willing?" Concubine Duan Niangniang has always been weak, if the emperor and queen know that she missed the night out, she must be worried, it is for the emperor and queen that she told Sister Guan to keep it secret, right? ”

Zhen Huan immediately picked up: "Yes, Concubine Duan didn't want people to know when she went out that day, so as not to worry the emperor and queen, so she made an appointment with her concubine that day, and this matter was not known to others." Who knew it would involve the princess. Saying this, Zhen Huan's thinking gradually became clearer, and she continued, "The concubine thought to herself, the emperor Shengming and the queen Duanhui must return the concubine's innocence, so the concubine didn't want to lose her trust to Concubine Duan, so she kept silent." ”

"What, Concubine Hua, don't you still believe it?" Concubine Duan drew everyone's attention to Concubine Hua.

The words have come to this extent, all the people present are human spirits, and they can't hear the meaning of Concubine Duan's protection of Zhen Huan, but they just know it and have their own thoughts.

The emperor is happy to see it, but the queen is vigilant about the friendship between Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua is unwilling, Cao Guiren is full of disappointment and hatred for Concubine Hua, and An Lingrong is the last to make up for it.

She interrupted Concubine Hua's strong crossbow words, took two steps forward and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines think that they should take a good look at the minions in the imperial dining room, maybe they have done something wrong and are afraid of being punished, so they listened to whose nonsense and deliberately slandered Sister Guan." ”

Concubine Hua glared at An Lingrong fiercely.

The emperor looked at An Lingrong, nodded, and smiled: "Rong'er said the key." Concubine Fang Cai said that the imperial dining room is good at this, but no matter how good people are, they will make mistakes, and there is no absolute. The emperor looked at Concubine Hua, said word by word, and turned to look at the kneeling person below, "You say it again, what you saw on the night of Qixi Festival." ”

Seeing that the matter had been revealed, except for the face of the head of the imperial dining room, the two palace maids who had just identified Zhen Huan began to stand up, and said for a while, "I only saw the Guan nobles going in the direction of the Qingliang Palace, but I didn't see whether she went in", and after a while, he said, "I just saw the Guan nobles with Aunt Jinxi, and I didn't see anything else", all of them turned pale.

Concubine Hua's face was extremely difficult to see.

"It's just unwarranted!" The queen scolded and turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this matter involves the princess and concubines, which is not trivial, so you still have to investigate it carefully." ”

"You look at it, there is only one, you are not allowed to condone this kind of evil ***** who is chasing after the wind and shadows, and you have not let go of any expression on Concubine Hua's face, at this time the matter is over, anger is surging, and you don't want to look at Concubine Hua again, so you get up and go out. During this time, Concubine Hua's various behaviors made him extremely disappointed, counting everything that happened after arriving in the Old Summer Palace, all of them were inseparable from her, it was he who was too indulgent to Concubine Hua before, which made her so presumptuous, "In addition, from today on, Wen Yi will be under the name of Concubine Duan and give Princess Heshuo." Concubine Duan is frail, and the princess's daily life is still taken care of by Cao Guiren. ”

The surprise under this will stunned everyone in the Qingliang Palace.

Some people are happy, some are worried, some are confused, and some are angry, but they can only look at the back of the emperor leaving, and they don't have time to say a word.

The emperor punished the two palace maids with eighty palms, and then went back to Taohuawu, she will have to investigate the cassava incident in the next few days, and she has to find something unhappy for Concubine Hua, and she is eager to try.

And here, the four people who are surrounded by Princess Wen Yi look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

In the end, it was Zhen Huan who opened her mouth first: "Today, I am fortunate to have Concubine Duan's righteous words, and the concubine is grateful, and she also invited Niangniang to sit in Bitong Academy, and the concubines treat each other with good tea." ”

After Zhen Huan and Concubine Duan left, An Lingrong smiled with Cao Guiren: "In this case, why don't you come and sit with me?" ”

"Okay." Cao Guiren's heart was in a mess at this time.

In the Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua stood in the dark, looking at the four people who were kissing and walking away, and recalled the time the emperor looked at her, and a trace of panic appeared on her face. She noticed that something was wrong, as if everyone was leaving her, including the emperor, thinking carefully, the emperor had rarely summoned her in the past few days, obviously he had previously said that he would restore her to the right to assist in the six palaces, but recently there has been no news like a stone sinking into the sea.

What went wrong?

Concubine Hua was flustered, and everyone in the hall did not dare to come out, for fear that she would have an immediate seizure.

However, Concubine Hua was unusual, she just sat down with a gloomy face, and asked Song Zhi for a long time: "Today's incident is that the palace has treated Cao Guiren badly, right?" She took a deep breath, "This palace shouldn't use Wen Yi to calculate Zhen Huan." She was too eager to put Zhen Huan to death, she only thought that Wen Yi was favored by the emperor, if something happened to her, the emperor would not let go of the person who did it, but she forgot, Cao Guiren also valued Wen Yi, and she failed to reach an agreement with her on this matter, I am afraid that she will show her feet today, so that the emperor can guess something.

"Niangniang is good to the princess, and it's too late for Cao Guiren to be grateful." Song Zhi saw that Concubine Hua was in a wrong mood, so she hurriedly relieved, "It's all that Guan nobleman, the fox charm attracted the emperor's favoritism, and Concubine Duan deliberately protected it, so that the emperor was suspicious." ”

"You can also see that the emperor is suspicious of the palace, right?" Concubine Hua's heart jumped, and even Song Zhi could see it, it didn't seem to be her illusion.

Only then did Song Zhi realize that he had spoken too quickly, and hurriedly remedied: "It was the slave who thought of it herself, and the emperor naturally believed in Niangniang." Seeing that Concubine Hua was unstable, she comforted again, "Niangniang is relieved, the general is coming back soon." ”

Concubine Hua came to her senses: "Yes, my brother said that this year is to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, and when he comes back, the grievances of the palace will be clear." ”

She doesn't know what went wrong, and everything hasn't been going well lately. Love Fragrance Bureau, An Lingrong Yin and Yang Mistake, Fake Pregnancy Bureau, Shen Meizhuang is in a desperate situation, today's cassava flour game against Zhen Huan is another chess trick, just like a pair of invisible hands, every time it is critical, it will stretch out to turn things around, and a deep sense of powerlessness swept over.

No matter how unwilling Concubine Hua was to admit it, she had to empathize with Cao Guiren, and she really couldn't be anxious to deal with those three people.

"Tonight, let's go and invite Cao Guiren over." Concubine Hua figured it out, and her tone softened a lot, "And Bi agreed, so she said that the palace would hold a banquet in the Qingliang Hall tonight, so that they must come." ”

It's really not many people who can use it in their hands, Concubine Hua is no longer as angry at every turn as she was some time ago, after this incident, she has also made a little progress, in the end, she has suppressed the queen for many years, and it has not reached the level of having no brains.

Song Zhi cautiously leaned over to receive the order.

On the other side, An Lingrong and Cao Guiren walked all the way to Xinghua Village, first asking Cardamom to invite Zhang Mi, and then letting Dill serve tea.

"Sister Rong, thank you for today." As soon as Cao Guiren sat down, he thanked An Lingrong, "I know, you must have said something to the emperor in the Qinzheng Palace, otherwise the emperor would not have let go so quickly and let me bring Wen Yi back to my side." ”

"Sister Cao's motherly heart is touching, and I didn't say anything." An Lingrong shook his head, "I just didn't expect that Concubine Duan would stand up and speak today, and she became the biggest winner." ”

Cao Guiren thought of the emperor's will when he left, and couldn't help but twist the handkerchief: "Duanfei Niangniang......" She suddenly closed her mouth, today's events were really sudden, and she was full of concern for Wen Yi, and almost said something in front of An Lingrong, "Duanfei Niangniang's identity is precious, and it is an honor for our mother and daughter to be able to remember Wen Yi in her name." But how can she give it? Wen Yi is her only daughter, and she is also Wen Yi's only mother, even if Concubine Duan is just a name, it is not the same as before after all.

Her gentleness, how can she recognize someone next to her as a mother!

Cao Guiren couldn't help the sourness surging in his heart, and the inexplicable vinegar surging came.

"Sister Cao, in my opinion, this is not a bad thing." An Lingrong handed the tea to Cao Guiren and said, "To put it mildly, my sister's position is only a noble, and she is controlled by others everywhere, and it is difficult to be thoughtful even with Wen Yi, and now Concubine Duan has become the adoptive mother of Princess Wen Yi, and her identity is naturally precious, and the emperor Chrysostom has named her Princess Heshuo, and no one will look down on her in the future." In the long run, it will also be good for the princess to choose a son-in-law in the future, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Cao Guiren nodded slowly: "In terms of family background, the only one in the palace who can sit on an equal footing with Concubine Hua is Concubine Duanniang." ”

Besides, it's just a name, Wen Yi still stayed with her sister and was taken care of by her sister, which was no different from before, but because of this extra identity, others were a little more jealous. Moreover, Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan have had a grudge for a long time, Wen Yi has an adoptive mother, Concubine Hua is afraid that she will not want to see her more in the future, and her sister can put Wen Yi in a place where she can't see it. An Lingrong persuaded slowly, seeing that Cao Guiren's expression had loosened, and finally lowered his voice and said, "To say something disrespectful, how long can Concubine Duan's body last?" ”

This last sentence can be regarded as moving Cao Guiren, she thought about it carefully, and then showed a smile: "My sister's words to wake up the person in the dream are really good words." I have written down today's events, and I will repay my sister in the future. ”

An Lingrong was slightly stunned, and then reacted.

Although it is not to cross the river and tear down the bridge, Cao Guiren's move is also to dismantle the bridge and leave only the rope, which is better than nothing. Originally, An Lingrong thought that this incident could directly win over Cao Guiren, at least in favor of her, but Cao Guiren turned over with a light sentence of "I will definitely repay in the future", and the case was closed with empty words.

It's really a thousand-year-old fox, and it's impossible to prevent it.

Looking at the back of Cao Guiren leaving, Dill couldn't help but say: "I really have no conscience, when I came to see the little lord that night, I said it sincerely, and the little lord ran back and forth for her. ”

An Lingrong closed his eyes and sighed: "I was in a hurry." ”

Cao Guiren did not say a word that day, if Princess Wenyi's matter was resolved, she would change teams and stand, it was An Lingrong who thought about it and stepped into her trap.

However, Cao Guiren didn't say it to death, and left an inch of leeway, but this leeway has not yet come to play.

At the same time, the head of the imperial dining room knocked on the door with a smile on his face, and handed over a plate of good dishes: "Miss Cuiyin, thank you for mentioning it today, otherwise my head will not be protected!" ”
