Chapter 595 Qingwang's visit, conspiracy approaching

Beautiful scenery remembers the winter of the ninth year of Yuanqing, especially when it snowed. This year, the red plum blossoms in Guan Suiyuan also bloomed earlier than in previous years. It was not as early as the twelfth lunar month, and it had already burned. She remembered that she was not in the mood to enjoy plums at that time. Whether it was the weather or mood, it was ordinary sad clouds and mist, and she only felt beautiful. The garden scenery is extremely dazzling.

In mid-November, it was still confusing who died at the hands of the prince, and the choice of the crown prince in the mind of the emperor was still ambiguous. Although the days in the high gate of the deep house did not fluctuate too much, it still made people nervous day by day, which was unpredictable disasters and blessings.

Compared with those years, at least the family was safe for the time being, and those malicious threats were eliminated one by one, so the mood of the imperial concubine was still relatively calm. On this day, the snow suddenly stopped, and the sky was getting bright. After waking up from a beautiful afternoon, there was Yaxing walking in Meilin, caged a jade white cloak, walked for a while, climbed to the high pavilion and sat down, and let People lit a small red mud stove and simmered the new set of snow water for making tea.

The prince passed away. Although the emperor issued an order that "officials of the world should be released in three days", it is forbidden to marry in one month, but it can be regarded as a clan. This plain suit must pass through March, which is more restrained than ordinary officials and people.

Therefore, today's makeup is particularly cold and plain, with plain white inside and outside, with two bead hairpins on it and sheep fat jade pendant hanging on the waist.

She only sat for a while and saw the autumn moon come up and reported the arrival of Princess Fu.

Yijing was not surprised. Her sister was pregnant, so her grandmother's illness was deliberately concealed from her, but she was afraid that she would run around and snow for three days in a row. As soon as it cleared up, my sister couldn't wait to come to the door. Is there something important change?

He hurried to the door of the courtyard to meet him. Instead of letting Yichen drop the sedan chair in front of the door, he carried it into the atrium and did not put it down until outside the main courtyard.

Yichen just sat on the kang, omitting the cold noise and went straight to the topic: "What about grandma?"

It turned out that she heard about her grandmother's illness. Yijing breathed a sigh of relief and said unimped relief to reassure her sister, but she heard Yichen say, "Five sister, you went back to visit me, but some words didn't say anything directly?"

Yijing was slightly stunned and didn't have time to answer, so she heard her sigh: "Don't hide it from me. In the past half a year, so many things have happened. I should have thought that what the Empress Dowager saw last time was unusual. It was all my ignorance and dragged down the prince. Not only was it useless to him, but he was also tired of everything to worry about everything... These days, the Fuwang Mansion has been full of visitors, and most of the princes have refused to see it, but I have never noticed anything.

After the destruction of the Confucius family, they were abolished. Some people with a keen sense of smell captured an extraordinary breath. Some were out of temptation, and some were indeed following sincerely. Of course, some gradually rushed to the Fuwang Mansion with other purposes. Even if they handed over the invitation and did not get a response, some people even came directly to the door to see each other.

Especially after the death of the prince.

Although King Fu has been hiding these things from Yichen, Yichen still heard the comments of the servants.

"I didn't see my grandmother in the East Palace on those days. My mother also said that because of the cold weather, it was my father who sympathized with my grandmother's age and deliberately did not let her go to the palace for funeral. I believed it. It was not until two days ago that a companion room entered the house to greet her that I knew from her that my grandmother was ill. I wanted to go back to the Duke of the country. The prince gave me a good advice. , saying that it was snowing, it was really inconvenient. He also said that the reason why my grandmother hid it from me was that she was worried that I would run around. Today, when it was sunny, when he saw that I insisted on returning to the government, the prince was forced to do nothing, so he told me not to associate with my mother's family recently, also for the sake of each other, but refused to talk about it in detail. Yichen was obviously very anxious and took Yijing's hand: "Fifth sister, tell me the truth, does your father plan to make the prince the crown prince, so the empress dowager wanted Yan's daughter to be the prince's concubine on the same day?"

Although Yichen is not good at strategy, she is still not lacking in basic political awareness. A few days ago, she stayed at home to raise her fetus and had no opportunity to learn more about political affairs, but she still heard of those earth-shaking changes, but she did not go to her home for a while. Lenovo, after listening to Fuwang's covert advice today, he thought about it carefully and guessed the matter.

I couldn't hide my feelings anymore, so I had to admit that I told my sister about Yu's conversation with my brother-in-law that day.

Yichen's eyes immediately turned red: "It's all because I have involved the prince. How can I ignore the overall situation for me? Over the years, the prince has been single-minded to me. Regardless of people's words and resolutely, I have made me feel guilty. I always feel sorry for him. At present... How can I feel at ease?"

Yi Jing advised: "Sister, this is also my brother-in-law's own choice. Some people in the world are chasing wealth and power, while others only want peace and joy. Although the ninety-five throne is ** people's hearts, not everyone will be greedy. My sister also said that my brother-in-law is single-minded to you. If my sister persuades brother-in-law to take a concubine for the power, is it? Will you feel at ease?" Yijing gently pushed Yichen's shoulder: "Isn't you afraid to let your brother-in-law's true feelings?"

Seeing that Yichen was still sad, Yijing leaned against her and took her arm and said, "Sister, do you really want your brother-in-law to enter a pile of side concubines and not feel aggrieved?"

Yichen was about to solemnly say that she was a virtuous woman and put her children as the priority. How could she raise her eyes and see her sister's eyes clear and sincere because of jealous dogma. The words that squeezed to the tip of her tongue couldn't help suffocated, her eyes and blushed for a while, and finally looked quite difficult: "I admit that I don't want to do it, new At that time, when the prince vowed not to accept the side concubine, I felt very scared and uneasy, especially later when my mother scolded me for being virtuous, but later... Maybe I was spoiled to the prince's indulgence. Whenever I thought that if he regretted one day, or disliked my absence, and spoiled others, I felt very uncomfortable. On that day When the Empress Dowager ordered, I was scared and uneasy. Although I was unwilling to disobey, I was really unwilling. After the prince refused, I felt happy.

Yijing Guaner: "Well, my sister is the one who lives up to her brother-in-law."

Yichen's expression softened a little, stroked the bulging lower abdomen with one hand, and sighed gently: "That being said, if I hadn't been from the Duke of Wei, I wouldn't have embarrassed the prince so much. At present, in order to keep an undisputed silence, I also need to be so deliberate. Fifth sister, I don't know much about politics. You I'm used to being better than me here. Do you think the prince will suffer from danger?

Even if the King of Fu is not contested, it is difficult to ensure that the emperor will not move. Sometimes the matter of saving the throne is not disputed by people, but by how the emperor measures it. Yijing has to admit that even if the King of Fu is not disputed, because of the in-laws of the Duke of Wei, it will also become an obstacle for some people. Of course, sinisterness exists and is difficult to avoid it. .

"At this time, my sister should protect herself and the fetus in her womb so that my brother-in-law can have no worries. As for the things outside, my brother-in-law should make his own decision. Even if my sister is worried, don't be exposed. When things happen, she should discuss more with my brother-in-law. It's better not to go out at this time, so as not to give people a chance to take advantage of it." Yi Jing held the hand of Ichen: "My sister and brother-in-law face danger together. Standing beside him is to support my brother-in-law."

The sisters in Guan Suiyuan were having a heart-to-heart talk. At this time, there was also an uninvited visitor in Fuwang's mansion.

It was Prince Qing, so he was not treated as a closed-door thank-you guest, but was invited into the study to be treated with good tea.

Obviously, the brothers have talked for a while. The teacups in front of them are no longer hot, and because of the secret matters, the subordinates have been rejected and no one has replaced the hot tea.

And the two obviously have no leisure to taste tea.

Qing Wang smiled at the corners of his lips. When he saw his brother's palm on the top of his knee finally unfolded, the smile became more and more soothing.

"I'm very grateful that the fourth brother can tell you about this in time." King Fu frowned slightly. He had been silent for a long time. He was fashionable and dared not believe what King Qing had just told him, but of course he would not question it verbally.

"Why should the second brother be polite? Since I know that the fifth brother is malicious to the second sister-in-law, of course he will not stand by. The second brother should also understand that the prince's throne is precarious. The fifth brother has endured for many years and is so easy to look forward to this opportunity... I don't say those lies. Of course, I also have expectations for the idea of abolishing the crown prince. What's more, at this time, the reserve is vacant. As a prince, anyone with ambition will be moved. King Qing was frank and took a deep look at King Fu, and suddenly looked solemn: "However, the fifth brother does not think about the right way, but he has plotted and tricks to go to the wrong way. I deeply feel disdainful. We are close relatives. Even if we compete, we should be open and aboveboard. The fifth brother is ruthless. If he really succeeds, I'm afraid he will not let you go in the future."

"What the fourth brother said is." King Fu first agreed and got up and bowed: "This matter must be carefully inspected by my brother. If it is true..."

"Of course, you can't hide your father." King Qing got up and helped King Fu and interrupted him by the way: "But how to do it, I also hope that the second brother can come to the palace to discuss with me first. The second brother should know that even if he arrest the servant woman and force him to ask for the truth, he may not be able to condemn the fifth brother only by relying on the confession of the servant woman. Since I intervened in this matter, of course, of course I have to fight with the second brother. Work together and never stand by. The fifth brother is cunning. The second brother must not act impulsively, but be framed by him... I have another invitation. Regarding the fact that I installed the staff of the fifth brother's house, please don't mention it to anyone for the time being.

After all, it is not a glorious thing to insert eyes and ears in the brother's house, and it is reasonable for King Qing to temporarily protect his secret.

King Fu naturally came down, thanked King Qing for a few words, personally sent him out of the hanging flower door, saw the car and rolling across the corridor, and his eyebrows frowned again.

The King of Qing he knew was not an affectionate and righteous person. This time, he obviously had other intentions, and he didn't know whether to blame Lao Wu. However, in terms of how, of course, he had to thoroughly investigate this matter. King Fu resolutely did not allow others to maliciously harm Yichen.

If it proves that it is really Lao Wu's conspiracy... Even if it is used by Lao Si once, this hidden danger should be removed.

Although he has no desire to compete for storage, he is not willing to let mermaid meat. Even if he wants to protect his wife and children, he can't tolerate conspiracy and tricks.

If Lao Wu has malice and can't make a plan, he will regard himself as a big trouble. If he doesn't get rid of it, he can't feel at ease. If he really can't bear it and wait for Lao Wu to take over the unification, he will also regenerate the poison plan because of the power of the Duke of the State.

King Fu turned around and strode back to the main courtyard. After asking, he knew that Yichen did not listen to his persuasion and insisted on going out. However, it should be difficult to go to the King of Chu's Palace and discuss with his fifth sister.

Fu Wang sighed softly, and there was a decision in his heart, which made people shout that he had been matched. Xuanye, a trusted relative of the princess in charge, came over and asked, "At this time, has there been a woman surnamed Xiao sent kimchi back because of her poor appetite?"

Xuanye was very surprised. How did the prince know these small things in the inner house? He hurriedly reported, "There is indeed such a thing. Originally, Mother Xiao often sent kimchi to the maidservant to eat. The taste was very authentic. Some time, the princess had a bad appetite, and she was tired of eating a few flavors of pickles. The maidservant wanted to change the taste for the princess, so she asked Mother Xiao to send a bottle of pickled kimchi. The princess tasted good, and the maidservant planned to let her Why don't you make a jar of salt water and send it in.

Kimchi should not be soaked for too long, otherwise the taste will be too sour and salty. Xuanye also wanted to make it easier for the princess to eat, so she wanted to simply let Mother Xiao make a jar of salt water and pickle it.

"Is this Mother Xiao arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Fu Wang asked. When the prince is in the foreign government, he is usually arranged by the internal affairs government first. Only a few are maids and eunuchs, most of them are official slaves. However, after a long time, the prince's office will also choose buyers and slaves outside to supplement.

"Mama Xiao is a subordinate of a house bought earlier. She herself belongs to the raccoon washing house. The man fell ill last year. A son was leading an errand at the carriage and horse. Her family was originally from Jiang'an, Sichuan. Because her family was convicted, she was resold to the capital."

"Is this person close to you?" King Fu frowned slightly.

Seeing that the master was chasing Mother Xiao's detailed inquiry, Xuanye couldn't help but be nervous and became more aware of everything: "I didn't have any contact with her, but Mother Xiao's daughter, who was only eight years old, planned to let her daughter enter the inner house to make up for the lack of a rough maid, so as to make up for the family. Then she asked the maidservant's mother-in-in-law, and her family was rude. Work, no savings, no valuable gifts, that is, she has the craft of making kimchi... The maidservant looked at her and said that her girl was also hard-working, so she agreed.

Generally, for such a small matter, the internal steward does not need to make a special trip back to Princess Ming. You can make your own decisions. Xuanye really can't tell what went wrong, so he let the prince pay attention to it and his heart is full of it.

King Fu did not ask again, but only let Xuanye pay attention to this matter. When Mother Xiao finished the jar of salt water, she was bound to know that she would not tell the princess first.
