Chapter 57 Take the initiative
In this deep palace, ambitious people want to stand out, and those who are not ambitious also want to settle down. In the end, the appearance of the women in the palace is difficult to distinguish between high and down, and the real comparison is intelligence and luck. Concubine Tong's young spirit is better than the queen, delicate and delicate than Concubine Chai. She has more understanding of the emperor than other young and beautiful women who have newly entered the palace. In short, she may not be the emperor's favorite woman, but her weight should not be underestimated.
Wei Fuyan made Tong Fei's mind clear. She was unwilling. She wanted to gamble. She had been waiting for an opportunity to completely defeat Princess Chai and turn over. And Wei Fuyan came to give Tong Fei this opportunity.
Tong Fei didn't see Wei Fuyan's answer, but she first smiled like water. Wei Fuyan sighed that she was indeed a beauty. She smiled like a pool of spring water that was restrained by the wind. Her eyes were light and transparent, and her smile was sweet but not greasy.
"I just said something wrong, which made Princess Huai laugh!"
What else is there besides saying "I" with a tone? Wei Fuyan tasted the tea carefully and waited for the following.
"It's not what you want me to do, but how much benefit you want me to do?"
Wei Fuyan squeezed his lips and smiled again. Sure enough, everyone was waiting for this excellent opportunity!
"So I don't know how much benefit Concubine Tong wants?" Wei Fuyan had other things today. She really didn't have time to pester with Tong Fei and others, so she said indifferently, "Princess Tong is a smart person. You should know that I'm not here to beg you. Only when you cooperate with me can you have a chance to turn over. If you don't cooperate with me, even if King Tuo is defeated and Chai Guifei is out of favor in the end, you are still a little Tongfei. There are young and beautiful women coming in the harem every year. Although you are sinking fish and falling geese, there will always be a day of old age. There is no one in your mother's family and no children under your knees. What should you do then? Where are you going?"
After saying this, Tong Fei's face suddenly changed. Sure enough, her eye disease is also a blessing, and she can see many wonderful expressions that have taken off her disguise.
"Promise or not?" Wei Fuyan took a sip of tea and asked leisurely.
"What if I don't agree?" Concubine Tong was not prepared for a blind man, so her face was quite ferocious. Her gentle breath had dissipated, as if she felt sorry for herself and hated to see through her weak Wei Fuyan.
Wei Fuyan was worried about Jinnian in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and didn't have time to make a detour with her. She groped for the table and put down the teacup and said briefly: "At the beginning, someone secretly set up a mystery to scare Princess Ping at the peony flower meeting, which caused Princess Ping almost lost her pregnancy in May. If I send the Yusi buckle to Pingwang Mansion, What do you think of the result?
"You--" Tong Fei was furious and immediately became angry. After a long time, her fingers pointed to her tremblingly and said, "How dare you threaten me!"
"In my opinion, there is not much more than one extra silk button in Luodu City, and there is not much less than one silk button!" Wei Fuyan blurted out and looked indifferent.
Tong Fei's affectionate eyebrows were full of anger. She suddenly stretched out her hand into an eagle's claws, as if she couldn't wait to strangle Wei Fuyan like this. Wei Fuyan looked at the front calmly with a sneer at the corners of her mouth. She doesn't believe that Tong Fei has only practiced such a calm mind in her deep palace life for many years. If she really goes on, Wei Fuyan will reconsider whether to join hands with her.
"What the hell do you want me to do?"
Wei Fuyan smiled and was satisfied with Tong Fei's decision. She stood up with the armrest of the chair and stood up to face the resentful Tong Fei and said, "One, let Lord Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry - that is, your brother-in-law, prepare the walls of Luodu City, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the drawings of the Songhe Tower of Tuo King--
"City wall defense map?" Tong Fei interrupted her with a pale face, "Are you and Huai Wang going to rebel?"
Wei Fuyan sighed and said, "No wonder you will be so bullied by Chai Guifei! Will King Huai still tell me if he really wants to rebel? Or did Huai Wang tell me that I would let you know?"
"Then what do you want to do with the defense map? Not to mention Yu Shilang's defense map of the city wall and the drawings of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, even if it is shown to people in private, it is a big crime to kill the head!"
Wei Fuyan was really a little irritable. She said directly, "Second, let Yu Shilang build a building exactly the same as the Songhe Tower in Luodu City, which should be completed earlier than King Tuo's reconstruction of Songhe Tower."
"Why?"
Wei Fuyan was even more in the mood to talk to Tong Fei, but simply said, "You can't beat Chai Guifei because she is too smart, but because you don't know how to do it! If I were you, I would never ask anything more that I shouldn't ask, so as not to cause trouble for myself!"
Only then did Tong Fei realize that the matter was serious, even if she kept silent.
"Acacia!" Wei Fuyan shouted, and Acacia immediately pushed the door in and came to help her leave.
"Wait!" Concubine Tong suddenly opened her mouth and felt that it was inappropriate. She immediately softened her tone and said, "Please stay..."
"Ty!"
Concubine Tong hesitated for a long time before slowly said, "I originally just wanted to fight with Princess Chai, but I couldn't live in peace in my life. Now Princess Huai, you deliberately pulled this palace into the game. The future is long and uncertain, so I also have a request in this palace."
Tong Fei's words are true. The situation that Wei Fuyan pulled her into is very dangerous. Although Wei Fuyan has been prepared, in case of any mistake, the consequences will be serious. She paused and pondered for a while, nodded and said, "You said."
"After everything is done, His Royal Highness King Huai will be the side concubine!"
Wei Fuyan's hand stiffened and subconsciously asked, "Yu Sikou?" Yu Shikou, the daughter of Lord Yu, a servant of the Ministry of Industry who likes to write his disgust on his face, is proficient in garden layout, and is filial to Tong Fei's closest relatives?
She sneered and said, "It's not up to me who King Huai wants to accept as a concubine!" What's more, I don't like Yu Sikou under the same roof as me!"
Concubine Tong hurriedly said, "Sikou is my niece, and I have listened to this palace the most since I was a child. She only asks for a reputation, will not compete for favor, let alone disrespectful to Princess Huai! It's just that her daughter's family knows that she likes Huai Wang. Who else can she marry?
Wei Fuyan said coldly and coldly, "If King Huai agrees, I can't stop him from getting started. If King Huai doesn't agree, even I will be kicked out of King Huai's mansion at any time. Empress Tong Fei is very thoughtful, but she just begs for the wrong person. Forgive me for nothing I can do!"
"Princess Huai!" Tong Fei was immediately anxious and came forward to pull her sleeves, which was neatly pushed away by Acacia.
"Princess Huai, I am not qualified to talk to you about any conditions, but I can guarantee that as long as you let the silk buckle into the door, you will never regret teaming up with me this time!"
Wei Fuyan looked back at Tong Fei. Her eyes were empty. Tong Fei had never noticed the blurred image in her eyes, especially now face to face, and she could see all the fears on her face.
First, the queen mentioned that the empress dowager was fe feuded, and then Concubine Tong was eager to entrust her niece to others. Now Concubine Tong is even more desperate. Is there really going to be any shocking change in the harem?
Concubine Tong's appearance is soft and beautiful. As soon as she stood there, she was weak and Fengjiaohua with tears to teach people pity. Therefore, at this moment, such sonorous words that looked like death shocked Wei Fuyan a little.
"Princess Huai!" Concubine Tong pleaded.
Wei Fuyan was puzzled and nodded hesitantly and said, "I will tell King Huai, but the result is not up to me. I think Concubine Tong can understand it."
Concubine Tong nodded repeatedly to show her gratitude.
It was noon when Tong Fei lived in the palace, but Wei Fuyan was not in the mood to go back for lunch. Anyway, there were only her, Acacia, and some maidservant who did not know during the day, so she directly went out of the palace with Acacia and walked to the Pingwang Palace.
"God bless, bless..." Acacia whispered all the way.
"What's wrong?" Wei Fuyan was curious and couldn't help looking at her in the carriage and smiling.
Acacia looked at her sadly and said, "There is a scratch on my face. If Master Lu or Huai Wang sees it, Ruan Xiangsi will worry about my life!"
Wei Fuyan shook his head and said no.
"Do you believe it?" Acacia had no respect or inferiority in her heart. She stretched out her hand and nodded her forehead and said, "You princess, I don't know what kind of life this is!" If you say it's good, it seems that you are suffering every day, but if it's bad, there are people around you who have been thinking about it! Tut-tut, strange!"
Wei Fuyan still just smiled, and those who miss her are remembered. Some can't afford it, some dare not return it, and some are not even sure themselves.
"Speaking of which, I understand that the drawings of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are naturally related to the matter of King Jinxiu. But the defense map of the city wall... Is it really against the opposite?"
Wei Fuyan grabbed the corner of his sleeve and said, "No, I just want to remind Yu Shilang to see how valuable Yu Shilang is. The Ministry of Industry is the person of King Tuo, but King Tuo chose to sacrifice Yu Shilang in the case of the fire in Sheng Qian's mansion. I want to see if Yu Shilang can use it for me."
Acacia nodded to show her understanding, but after nodding, she remembered that she couldn't see it, so she continued to ask, "So good, what are you doing in Pingwang Mansion?" Others don't know, but I've seen the garden full of lotus flowers. Don't you feel heartache?"
"Now the next battle between the two princes is chaotic enough. I want to make sure that Prince Ping will not enter the game." Secondly, she also wanted to make sure that Huang Wanqing, the princess of Ping, would be slightly restrained because of the fire in Songhe Tower, and from then on, she would only be Princess Ping.
"Oh..." Acacia was looking out of the small window of the carriage when she suddenly called so softly.
"What, but did you see a young and successful young man?" She was bored and joked.
Acacia did not smile or reply, but just looked back at her, and then lay down in front of the car window again to take a closer look.
Wei Fuyan was more doubtful, but he felt that it was none of his business, so he was just curious and didn't think much about it.
"Drive!"
Wei Fuyan looked awesome, and she was too familiar with this sound - Zhou Huaiyi.
"Say, what's the scene outside?" Weifu flue.
"No, nothing!" Acacia put down the curtain and sat quietly in the car.
Acacia was even more strange, so she took Acacia's arm and asked, "What happened?" Zhou Huaiyi was lonely and calm. How could he gallop on the street near Pingwang Mansion in broad daylight?
