Chapter 861: The Proud Chang Clan
What is she doing here?
Chang's face had a look of disgust.
The last time Ming'er moved out of Mingwang's Mansion, she came to visit with a fake face, and she knew better than anyone that she was just here to see her lively.
And now she's here again?
But she didn't seem to have much to see.
Thinking of this, she waved her hand directly,
"Please let her in."
At the same time, she hurriedly tidied up her collar, and pushed the jade bracelet in her hand to her wrist, she and Concubine Li have been jealous for half their lives, and now that their man is gone, she can't let her compare.
After a while, Concubine Li came to her with the support of the girl, and although Chang disdained, he still bowed to her.
"The folk woman said hello to Concubine Li."
Concubine Li hurriedly stepped forward to help her up,
"Sister Chang, between our sisters, don't be so polite."
Chang snorted lightly, shook the handkerchief in his hand, sat down on the soft couch, and then waved his hand,
"Concubine Li, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Sister Chang, I haven't come to see you for a long time, how are you doing? Sister, I brought you your favorite osmanthus cake. ”
"Thank you Concubine Li for worrying, I'm old now, I don't like to eat these sweet things, Concubine Li should take it back!"
"How can I get this thing back? You'll have to try it when you're free. ”
The corners of Chang's mouth rose and he commanded the subordinates outside:
"Come on, the pastries brought by Concubine Li, Mrs. Ben can't eat them, you can share them!"
After hearing this, the servant cautiously entered the house and took the pastry bag from the hand of the girl next to Concubine Li.
"Thank you, Lady Li, for your concern."
Concubine Li immediately bit her lip coldly, this Chang family really doesn't know what to do, she doesn't want to give her food, she actually gave it to her subordinates to eat in front of her, isn't this sincere to embarrass her?
But she pretended not to care and waved her hand,
"Sister Chang really loves people, so I am ashamed of my sister! By the way, I heard that Prince Ming has been in a bad mood recently, so he didn't go to the court this morning? What's going on? Have you ever seen a doctor? ”
Chang Shi looked at her with a frown, "This matter is not to worry about Concubine Lao Li, Ming'er accompanied the emperor to hunt yesterday, contracted a cold, and has already taken medicine from the imperial doctor, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
At the mention of hunting, Concubine Li exclaimed as if she had thought of something,
"By the way, I heard that the queen mother is injured, and it is very serious, does Sister Chang know about this?"
Chang immediately pretended to be ignorant,
"I don't know? I, a woman, stay in the house all day, how can I know what is going on in the deep palace? It's you, Concubine Li, this news is really well-informed. ”
Concubine Li knew that Chang was deliberately pretending not to know, and the hatred she had for Liu Luolan in her heart was by no means half a point less than her.
She shook the handkerchief in her hand and covered her mouth with a chuckle, "Sister Chang has hands and eyes, how could she not know about this?" Back then, the queen caused you to be beaten into the cold palace by the former emperor, and since then you have fallen into a place of no return, you should pay more attention to her news! If it weren't for her, you would be like my sister and me now, you would be named Concubine Chang, and you would be valued and admired when you go out, how could you be bullied by your daughter-in-law like that? ”
Chang's palm slapped the table fiercely, glaring at Concubine Li,
"You're here to see me?"
Concubine Li hurriedly raised her hands and pressed down,
"Sister misunderstood, our sisters have been together for more than ten years, and we are like sisters, how can my sister watch you lively? My sister is here to tell you that your good daughter-in-law has entered the palace to take care of the queen mother, and you should take advantage of this time to quickly find a concubine for Prince Ming to take her place, so as to prevent her from coming back in the future. ”
At this point, she tapped her forehead with her finger,
"By the way, Princess Xingnan of Nanping Kingdom still lives in the palace, I heard that she came this time and wanted to make peace with Daning Kingdom, but she hasn't found the right person yet, this is a good opportunity!"
Hearing this, Chang's eyes flashed a few times, and then he looked at Concubine Li,
"Really?"
Concubine Li sat up straight and nodded solemnly,
"Of course, a few days ago, I went into the palace to see Princess Yongping in Qixia Palace, she said it unintentionally, I have been thinking about it in the past few days, it just so happens that Prince Ming has taken a leave of absence from Liu Luoxue, If he can make peace with Xingnan and the lord, then his status in the court should not be underestimated."
Chang looked at her vigilantly,
"Such a good thing, you think of me?"
"Sister mislooks at my sister again, my sister has always regarded you as a sister, of course I think of you if there are good things, besides, Xi'er has wives and concubines, so how can Princess Xingnan be committed to marrying? Prince Ming is different, he is single now, Princess Xingnan is a concubine when she marries him, if Ming Wangfu can make peace with Nanping, it will be a suitable happy event. ”
Chang nodded in agreement, but she immediately made a difficulty,
"But Ming'er doesn't want to marry her, I'm in a hurry as a mother, what can I do?"
Concubine Li shook the handkerchief in her hand, and reminded in an exaggerated tone,
"Are you stupid, you ask the emperor for marriage in the name of Prince Ming, as long as the emperor decrees, what can you do if Prince Ming does not agree."
"Isn't that a bully? You want to kill me? ”
"Sister, how can my sister ask you to do it, you directly order someone to write a request on your behalf, and then ask Prince Ming to write his name, isn't this all over!"
"But...... But Ming'er won't agree. ”
"Naturally, he won't agree, don't let him know the content of your excerpt, When the emperor's marriage decree comes down, he wants to regret it, but it is the crime of resisting the decree, as long as he stubbornly responds to this matter, no one in this Ming Wangfu will dare to provoke."
Chang was still a little hesitant, and Concubine Li simply said bluntly again,
"A few days ago, I couldn't sleep at night, and my next person went to the Miaozhen Hall in the city to get me a prescription, and after taking it, I was groggy all day, and I nodded and agreed to whatever others said to me, do you say this thing is magical?"
When she said this, Concubine Li glanced at Chang's face, and saw that she was muttering something there, so she immediately brushed her sideburns and got up.
"Sister, I'll go back first, wait for a few days to be free, my sister will come to see you again, do what my sister said just now or not, you better think about it yourself!"
Watching Concubine Li throw off the handkerchief and twist her waist to leave, Chang began to make difficulties.
If Ming'er can really reconcile with Princess Xingnan, it will naturally be a great thing, but will Concubine Li have the kindness to remind her?
She was skeptical of her intentions and was considering whether it was really feasible.
After a while, Xiao Tao came back with a few firecrackers and trotted,
"Old lady, the firecrackers have been bought, do you want to put them now?"
Chang waved his hand directly,
"No need to let it go, by the way, you go to Miaozhentang to get me the side medicine, just say that I always have trouble sleeping at night."
"Old lady, you've slept well these days, why do you need medicine?"
"If you are told to go, you will go, less nonsense."
Xiao Tao held up the firecracker in his hand,
"What about these...... Where to put it? ”
"Put it in the warehouse first, I'll be of great use."
Xiao Tao didn't know why, and went out with a few firecrackers.
