Chapter 511 The highest elder, come to the door to ask questions
Yi Jing never thought that when Princess Xiliang's envoys were still without a trace, she had already returned to "intimate contact" with Princess Shou and tasted the power of the highest elder.
What I didn't expect was that behind this unpleasant meeting was due to many accidental and inevitable factors.
The central figure who played a decisive role is Concubine Qin - this one failed to suppress people with momentum. Her dissatisfaction with the scenery has been full of internal organs. On that day, she came back from a belly of cowardice in the royal palace of Chu and had no chance to vent it. It was not until Concubine Deng gave birth* that Concubine Qin felt a little comfortable, ha ! If you want to give birth to the eldest grandson, it depends on whether you have this luck or not. As a result, you have not given birth to a loss! In addition to the disaster, Concubine Qin sincerely said a few congratulations to Concubine Deng and thought about the depressed appearance of "mother-in-law" Chen Guifei. In those two days, she had a big appetite and worked hard to add meals. She only felt that spring was really coming, and her dry skin in winter was gradually moist.
The good mood was only maintained until the day of "washing three", and the emperor's edict broke the seal of the lost goods as a princess!
When Concubine Qin knelt down and received the order to knock on Xie Longen, she almost couldn't help spitting fire out of her throat.
Fortunately, Qin Ziruo was also present on that day and kept making suggestions around the concubine Qin. At least, he let the three gifts pass smoothly in a roughly harmonious atmosphere of "no danger".
It's so easy for Zi Ruo to avoid others that she had a chance to appease Qin Fei: "This is a good thing! My sister thought that in the future, the fourth brother-in-law will be awarded the title of prince, and the daughter will be qualified to become a princess, but the emperor actually made the daughter of a concubine as a princess. What does this mean?
"It means that the little bitch of the Deng family will rely on his mother and daughter in the future!"
Zi Ruo:......
After a long speechless sound, if Zi Ruo didn't dare to tell Concubine Qin those "in-depth" words, he changed his euphemism and wrote "painting cakes to satisfy hunger": "My sister is the imperial concubine. If she has a legitimate daughter in the future, how can there be no grace? If you get the emperor's eldest grandson... Sister, think about how the emperor will be awarded, so that she can complete the royal etiquette and maintain the direct concubine clearly.
Concubine Qin turned angry and happy.
When Miss Ziruo saw that Concubine Qin was not angry and did something funny and generous, she turned around and walked away. After many procedures, she finally invited her fourth brother-in-law to a quiet flower hall through her father and analyzed her optimistic views on such measures as the emperor - such as paying special importance to the fourth prince, indicating that there was already a reserve position. Shaking, obvious signs of the fourth prince's "unbable future" and other "political opinions".
This matter was told to Li as an interesting story through Sun Meng's mouth: "As soon as the emperor's grace arrived, it can be regarded as a joy. The Fourth Highness was staggering with us, but suddenly left the table after listening to Qin Youcheng's whispers... I finally heard Chen Changshi leak a few words." Sun Meng is proud. Since he bribed Chen Changshi, a valuable "bird" and established a deep friendship with this prince's cronies, the news is naturally much better than before: "It turns out that he went to the inner house to see his wife and sister, that is, Qin's seventh daughter."
Li was surprised: "Your Highness unexpectedly... Chen Changshi dared to say this everywhere, and he is not afraid of being impeached by the imperial historian? Oh, my God, did Your Highness go with Qin Youcheng? The Qin family is a fake family, and they actually condone their daughter who has not come out of the cabinet to do such things?
Sun Meng was stunned for a long time before turning the corner because Li's mind was too impure and coughed a lot: "Where do you want to go? Is this also nonsense?! Qin's Qiniang is a lady, how can she do such an ugly thing... This can be called a female Zhuge. According to Chen Changshi, Qin Qiniang's insight is not bad. She is not only good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also Qin Xiang. She always loves to discuss politics with this granddaughter. Today, because of that grace, Qin Qiniang has a keen understanding of the sacred meaning. The broken grace seal is moved by the intention of Yi Chu, and the Fourth Highness is very hopeful!"
Li curled her lips and thought that this was not sharp. After hearing this, she also thought of the "intention" of the Holy Emperor, and was jealous of her husband's defense of Qin Qin Qiniang. She was about to say, "What a lady, but it's just a violation of yang and evil, and she doesn't know how many selfishness is hidden behind it." Suddenly, she heard Sun Meng say. One sentence: "The fourth prince is arrogant and stubborn, and only Qin Qiniang can persuade her."
Li immediately dispelled the small idea of sour and jealous, and said that Qin Fei was arrogant and difficult to approach. Maybe she could introduce her through Qin Qiniang's path...
So not long after, the big maid beside Ziruo consciously handed over a pierced silk bracelet set with more than ten rubies: "Qi Niang said it's not rare, but Wan's wife in the gate actually came to encircle the slave and let the maidservant find a way to go back to the jewelry shop called Baizhen Pavilion in Ping'anfang. , after it is done, there is still a lot of slaves.
Zi Ruoxing's eyes slanted gently: "Say it directly, what did you say?"
The maid smiled with praise: "It's absolutely not a bad thing. The family of a twilight bureaucrat in the fourth prince's mansion heard that the seventh lady is intelligent and admires you very much. If you want to please, the shop is Li's property. Thinking of Li's generous action, Wan has gained a lot of benefits. I feel that there is nothing wrong with this matter. Fang, the prime minister was always willing to discuss matters with the staff, so he gave it a try.
So, Ziruo, who had nothing to do at home and was eager to have more connections, went to Ping'an Square to meet Li's family.
Li naturally expressed her "admiration" for Ziruo, praised the girl as being unrivaled and clever, and searched all the miscellaneous biographies read in the boudoir, showing that she was also an extraordinary female hero, so she euphemistically said that she wanted Ziruo to take her. Introduced to the fourth prince's concubine.
Ziruo compared Li's many examinations, needless to say in detail. In short, he felt that although Li did not have great wisdom, he was still a little clever. Especially when Li said that she had a plan that could help Qin Fei get out of her anger, Zi Ruo was finally a little moved.
But the words stopped: "You are also smart and clear. I know that my sister is dissatisfied with the Su sisters, especially the imperial concubine... Alas, the two of them are also different temperaments. The sister is arrogant. Concubine Su is not a soft person, or there are some contradictions. Concubine Su and I are good, and I don't agree with your method."
Ziruo looked at Li and smiled when he heard the words, but his eyes suddenly didn't agree, and he smiled secretly - this own sister died because of the imperial concubine. How could her resentment in her heart be so easy to dispel? On the surface, she said that she did not dare to instigate any more. As long as she had the opportunity, she would definitely say that to her eldest sister. This Although it may not be able to hit Su, it is also a hidden danger. When the time is right in the future, it may not be possible to use the topic to make Su's reputation. Besides, if this matter is moderately publicized, it will also hurt that person's reputation and clear the way for his brother-in-law.
But said solemnly, "Whether it is the royal palace or the Duke of Wei, you can't offend. The prince's mansion can't easily make enemies. I also often advise my sister, but her temperament can't be reversed... At present, not to mention outside, in the prince's mansion, the two side concubines are extremely spoiled, sister The situation is also a little difficult. I have always been the daughter of a boudoir. It's not easy to say anything, and I can't often go to the prince's mansion. It's good for you to mention her not to act vigorously when you are around your sister.
Li's heart was in full bloom as soon as he heard this.
Zi Ruo said again, "My sister and the concubine are the same clan wife, and they should still live in harmony. You should remember to mention that you can't let your sister and the Su sisters conflict again, which will be criticized." The implication is that even if you want to trouble the concubine, you must "borrow a knife to kill".
Li is really a little smart. Although she doesn't understand the "sincerity" of the girl, she came up with a plan and said with a smile, "It's still the Seventh Lady who has foresight. I know my narrowness after receiving your suggestion... My concubine understands that she will persuade Qin to make friends with the royal palace. Even if she can't get along with the imperial concubine, there is no general's wife. Daughter-in-law?"
Sure enough, Zi Ruo is satisfied with this.
So she was vigorous and popular. She didn't even show her face, but just let the wet nurse around her come forward and lead Li to the prince's house to meet Qin Fei, on the pretext that it was a new golden phoenix pearl tassel hairpin dedicated to Qin Concubine Baizhen Pavilion.
As soon as Li saw Concubine Qin, it was very easy to find a common topic - through the chaos caused by Third Master Xie, and using the truth that "there is no reason", it was concluded that the imperial concubine was a person who bullied people with power and was arrogant and domineering. As soon as the bad words were opened, it naturally involved in the three princes and the scenery that saved each other's lives. The two The relationship is unclear. It's just because of the marriage given by the emperor and the prestige of the Duke of Wei, others dare not talk about it. The solid evidence is--
"You don't know that my eldest sister was regarded as a concubine by the Third Highness. It was because she had a conflict with the imperial concubine in the Shangyuan Festival and was given to death by the Third Highness... The concubine wanted to get justice for the eldest sister, but she had no choice but to be involved... To tell the truth, Concubine Qin, the Third Highness met her sister in the fourth prince's mansion, cunning Argued that His Royal Highness gave his eldest sister as a maidservant, but he did not know that his sister was a good girl and could not be killed like a slave maidservant..."
Concubine Qin ignored the details at all. When she heard about this, she suddenly became excited and calculated how to publicize it. Li quickly dissued her, "Concubine is cunning, and the Duke of Chu and the Duke of Wei are valued by the emperor. But she can't let her grasp the handle and is not good for the Fourth Highness. My concubine heard that Concubine Su was rude, not only with her brother-in-law. Discord, even the elders dare to disrespect. The general's wife is her aunt, but she has complained about her for a long time. You can only give this to the general's wife or Huang Qi Niang..."
Concubine Qin listened to Li's words this time and really asked Huang Jiangyue to speak.
Huang Jiangyue did not dare to condemn such an empty incident at this time, not to mention involving the third prince, but it was not easy for her to refuse Concubine Qin, so she had to promise first.
Just think that you have to find an elder to come forward. For this reason, you will blame the scenery. With the rigid temperament of the scenery that is unwilling to be humiliated, you will definitely argue. This will naturally come out, but which one should this elder look for? My grandmother absolutely can't do it, and my mother-in-law is easy to persuade, but the old princess is partial to the scenery, and her mother-in-law is useless.
Jiang Yue had to turn to her aunt Huang. She had no face to go to the door of the Duke's Mansion again. Through Huang Tao, she handed over a message and asked Huang to take time to come to the Chu Palace.
Huang Shi also "cared for" Yijing on the pretext of the matter of Master Xie San, and mentioned Jiang Yue: "Although she has done something stupid, she always calls me aunt. Jinger, you know that your grandmother still loves A Yue in her heart. If I come to the palace but don't look at it, I'm afraid that your grandmother will complain in her heart."
Naturally, the scenery will not stop Huang's "virtuous and loving", but it sounds an alarm in his heart. I don't know what tricks this party is planning.
Huang listened to Jiang Yue's difficulties and sneered: "It's not what I said. Although it's not a good idea to move the elders, it's also to find the right person. The woman marries her husband. The husband should be respected first according to the etiquette. The parents have to lean back, not to mention the outside family. You shouldn't listen to Xiao Xie's words and instigate in front of the old lady that time. She But is the grandmother of Yijing still able to subdue a granddaughter who married to the clan? Your mother-in-law is even more ridiculous. She actually took advantage of the third wife of the Xie family. This time, when she passed away, the son and the concubine didn't even have to mourn. What a serious patriarch... You have to use your brain in the clan. You must be a generation higher than the eldest princess and the old princess. You are also a court lady now. Naturally, you know who is the most suitable.
Jiang Yue woke up from a dream and said that she was worthy of being an aunt. She had endured the virtuous name for many years, which was really tricky.
However, she can't be this first bird anymore. She has been ridiculed for her reputation. How can she move Princess Shou to come forward?
First, tell Xiao Xie the meaning of Concubine Qin and Huang's strategy, and then give advice: "The descendants of the imperial concubine Shou are neglected by the royal family, and even no one has been sent by their great-grandchildren. If they can promise the great-grandchildren of the imperial concubine to seek a leadership position in Xishan Wei, the imperial concubine must be moved. My concubine heard that the imperial concubine has always been 'like hatred'. Knowing that my sister-in-law has such an ugly thing, it will damage the reputation of the clan in the future and will never sit idly by.
Xie was overjoyed and was so anxious that he didn't even know Yu Dong. He ran to Princess Shou and first fabricated a beautiful scene to look down on Mrs. Sheng Xing, the granddaughter of Princess Shou. Chang and Pingle laughed at Mrs.'s incompetence behind Pingle, and then executed the third prince for her from a good family. Yijing was selfish with the third prince, but the old princess of the family was confused and biased. If no one warned the prince, there would be rumors in the future, and everyone in the clan would have to be implicated by her. Finally, she asked Princess Shou that there was a great-grandson who was 19 years old, but she was still idle at home. She promised to seek a leader in Xishanwei in the future. Practice.
So, under the help of a group of obvious or hidden, or indeed conflict or really nonsense, Xiao Xie, a simple-minded bird, led the aggressive Princess Shou Taifei to plead guilty.
