Chapter 221 Some people are tricked, some people endure

In Kunren Palace, the queen almost immediately heard what happened to Concubine Li, even though she had always been "honest and solemn", because there were no " outsiders" around her. At this time, she also half leaned on the hidden pillow and laughed: "Concubine Li is really... It's just for people to let her know the 'important' of Duke of Wei. I didn't expect that she could do so. Toss, maybe I'm still happy at this time... I'm still a little worried. Princess Fu is really too virtuous. I'm sure she won't really set this up for her.

Rui Yingcai, the maid in charge of the palace, changed the hot charcoal in the stove, carefully stuffed it into the purple peony sleeve, and tried not to be hot. Then she presented it to the queen with warm hands and said with a smile, "The Empress is relieved. I have inquired about it. Although Princess Fu is dignified and virtuous, the dowry maids around her are all selected by the eldest princess herself. It won't be bullied by the princess. Concubine Li will definitely move a stone and smash her foot this time. Moreover, if Princess Fu really accepts this matter, why should Concubine Li bother to add unhapproval to her? She should be perfunctory and be detected by Concubine Li before she will act like this.

The queen nodded slightly: "According to her aunt's temperament, even if she was a little interested in Liulang, Li's behavior will be self-defeating. Even if her aunt doesn't care about Li's concubine, she has to consider that Jing's mother-in-law will have such a mother-law in the future, and life will be difficult."

"It's the Fifth Highness..."

The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at her cronies: "A few days ago, what do you mean by being a German concubine?"

Ruiying thought for a moment and remembered that three or five days ago, Defei came to Kunren Palace to greet her. Inexplicably, when she talked about her mother's niece, how gentle and elegant she was, she was full of praise. She listened like falling into a cloud. I don't know how taciturn she used to be. Why is the cautious defeud, "Wang Po selling melons"? Let your mother's niece be the third imperial concubine, do you think it's good?

"The so-called abnormal things must have demons. Concubine De should not want to be with the Third Highness..." Ruiying tried.

"If so, she can say frankly, why hide it and inexplicably praise her mother's niece as unparalleled in the world, which is a joke." The queen sneered softly.

Ruiying immediately agreed: "Yes, the mother is still wise, but the maidservant is confused. Thinking about this, Defei is also a boudoir from a famous family, and she will not be as shallow as an ignorant woman."

"Defei didn't say anything in the past, but she really cares more than Chen's fox charming son. She is showing her goodwill to me, implying that the fifth prince's concubine is interested in her mother's niece." The queen said, "Only she has this plan, but she endures and behaves obediently. It's hard to say whether she really accept her fate and has no fighting heart, or hide her light and bide her time."

"No matter what she is, she can still care about her mother." Ruiying flattered me.

The queen just raised her eyebrows and pondered for a moment, but then said, "Where's Sanlang? Didn't she enter the palace at noon? Are you still facing Sheng at this time?

"I heard that the emperor also called His Royal Highness to go there, which should be to discuss Southern Zhejiang." Ruiying also submitted.

The queen closed her eyes and said, "Sanlang was raised by me. When he was young, he let the prince regard him as a direct brother. At least he still appreciates it. This time, he did a beautiful thing, and gave it to the emperor. Only by saying that he could he give too much advice can it be so smoothly. In this way, the emperor did not hand over to Qin Xiang for the election of Southern and Zhejiang officials. "

Obviously, Jin Xiang suffered a setback this time. It was the emperor's intention to do it, and the queen could still understand it. She was worried that Qin Xiang would be dominant, at least control the elected officials in southern Zhejiang, but her brother said several times that Qin Xiang could not control the elected officials. It was time for the prince to test the government affairs. , the emperor's attitude was ambiguous, but after receiving the third prince's memorial, he made a decision.

The queen has been secretly guarding the third prince for many years. It was not until this time that she was slightly "moved".

"Mother, I heard that there is a daughter in the eldest house of the prime minister's mansion of Qin. Her family is five years old, and she was just remembered in the name of her mother." Ruiying said again.

The queen sat upright and raised her eyebrows higher and higher: "Don't talk about it in detail."

"Yes, I had heard about this for a long time, but I didn't care about it. Even if it was remembered in the name of my legitimate mother, the world knew that Qin Wuniang was a concubine who could not hide it, but I didn't know why the prime minister did this... But today I heard that Mrs. Qin led the fifth mother to visit the state government..."

"Chen is easy to calculate." The queen sat up from the noble concubine's couch: "Looking at the eldest princess's unintentionally, her nephew, but her sword is biased!"

This year's Lantern Festival, the concubine of the harem drove to watch the lights in front of the Ping'an Gate. Because of her interest, the Empress Dowager also changed her habit of "being quiet" in previous years and went to the Ping'an Gate to make fun, so she called the eldest princess and some waiting women to sit around and laugh. Concubine Chen showed great enthusiasm, especially for Huang, the wife of the Duke of Wei. Shi, for several hours a night, repeatedly praised several daughters of the Duke of the State.

At that time, many noble children were summoned to write poems on the lanterns. They were led by several doctors of Guozijian and selected more than ten excellent poems. After presenting them to the imperial tour, they were circulated to the concubines of the harem as a reward.

Among them, there is one of Chen Liulang.

However, there was a beautiful woman, who happened to be the daughter of Chen's mother's family. She praised Chen Liulang's good style, and his pen and ink were more demeanor. He came forward and handed it to Huang and Chen Guifei.

The ladies present are all clear-minded and don't know their intentions.

Of course, Huang will not show anything, but Chen Guifei is still modest and ordinary, but she presents the lamp to the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess for a look, smiling and asking for a comment.

The queen watched coldly. Although she disdained that Chen Guifei wanted to marry the Duke's government, at least you also picked a promising one. What's the name of Chen Liulang? But he was really a little nervous and looked at the attitude of the eldest princess.

If you really want to appreciate it, you have to pay attention to Chen Liulang and see if you can catch him.

How can the eldest princess take a hasty look and deal with a sentence: "Who doesn't know that I am a person who only knows how to dance with guns and swords, and I can't understand these poems the most." The wonderful thing is that the empress dowager said, "Sure enough, it's ordinary, and the noble concubine is insightful."

The queen looked at Chen's hot face and put his cold buttocks, which was called a disaster in her heart, so she did not pay attention to the Chen family - Chen Wulang saw that he was about to marry Anhui, the daughter of the general's family of the town, and Liulang was also denied. The Langjun below was either young or out, and he was not worthy of the family of the government at all.

Unexpectedly, Chen didn't give up, but the way to "marry" didn't work, so he came up with the idea of "marrying".

And this time, the prime minister came forward. A daughter recorded as the "daughter" in the genealogy probably also deserves a concubine son of the Duke of Wei.

Qin Wuniang is a boudoir and a commoner. She used to not even have a chance to make a face. It was not easy to ruin her boudoir's reputation, and the queen suddenly felt a crisis.

Besides, Yichen returned to the Fuwang Mansion and asked people to take Qiongyi to settle in the residence first. They also thought about how to use this "helper" were quite helpless - in the fact, the affairs in the royal palace were not as complicated as the other princes' mansions. Fuwang has always been a neglected person and did not have a real job, so he followed the class at the court. When he came down from the court, there was nothing else. King Fu was the most ambitious idle person. Although he had opened the prince's mansion early, he had not even raised a doorman for many years, let alone any staff. Only after being crowned the prince, he had his own long history department and was ordered to receive the supervision of the ceremonial department, but he did not have real power.

Although the empress dowager only meant to be a slave, Yichen also felt that it was not suitable. Among other words, if she really let her wait close to her, she was not very comfortable. However, she had to do rough work, and she was too disrespectful of the face of Concubine Li, so she had to arrange a courtyard for her to live in the evening, thinking about the King of Fu. Let's talk about it later.

Unexpectedly, King Fu returned to the main room. Yichen had just solved the cloak for him, and it was too late to mention the balcus, but Qiong Yi found it herself and quarreled with Xuanye, the maid who accompanied by the Duke's mansion, outside the room.

Yi Chen apologized: "Your Majesty, sit down for a moment. Something happened today. Let me talk about it later." He turned around and went out in a hurry, but he saw a Xuanye and a Zishu King Kong in front of Qiongyi, and both sides had their own pushes.

"I can't help it." Yichen calmed his tone and walked down the front stairs of the hall. Before he could ask what was going on, Qiongyi complained first.

But she was wearing a silver silk jacket, a cherry-red skirt, and a beautiful blessing: "The maidservant was rewarded by the beautiful concubine in the palace. Originally, I was to serve the prince together with the princess. How could she know that the master's return and didn't come to be a er? I thought it was the two sisters who didn't know the details, so they blocked it. Since the princess has come out, she has to be the maidservant.

Xuanye was so angry that she raised her eyebrows and laughed angrily: "Since you come out of the palace, why don't you even understand the basic rules? Naturally, you are a slave. What should you do? Where should you go? Listen to the master's arrangement. There is no reason to brazenly rush into the main room. It's so difficult for the master not to let you wait, and you have to come forward. I'm the first I heard this truth once."

"Princess, because of the words of the Empress Dowager, she said that the maidservant should do her do her best to assist her, and she dared not neglect her." Qiongyi is very arrogant. She doesn't talk to Xuanye, but only talks to Yichen.

However, Yi Chen was not annoyed and said lightly, "Come in."

It's really a soft man, and Qiongyi is proud.

In front of the window, King Fu had listened to the dialogue outside. At this time, he frowned and sat back in the chair. Looking at the enchanting maid, she was indeed a little familiar, and she was the most useful one around Princess Li.

Qionnyi was respectfully blessed again, but she didn't rush to speak at this time, and Yichen said it again for the reason.

"Did the mother and concubine are kind, but I didn't think about what to do for a moment. I don't know what the prince plans to do?" Thinking about "husband is his wife", Yichen thought about Qiongyi, and he still had to look at the meaning of King Fu first.

"It's just a slave, and the princess looks at the arrangement." Fuwang "suggestion" in a careless tone.

This made Qiongyi feel cold, and she was a little reluctant. She wanted to look around coldly for a long time. She had already determined that Yichen was easy to handle. At this time, she no longer kept the etiquette. She smiled and suggested thoughtfully: "Since the Empress Dowager asked the maidservant to assist the princess, of course, she has to wait close to her."

"After all, you are from the palace and the person who is useful around your mother, but I can't really ask you to do these heavy jobs." Yichen turned around and looked still flat: "Can you read?"

"I once suffered from the palace's Mother**, and she was self-literate and broken."

"Very good, there is a lack of a maidservant in the prince's study." Yingchen said again.

"But..." Qiongyi is still unwilling.

"What, do you still feel heavy?" Yichen frowned slightly.

At this time, King Fu said, "The royal palace is not as light as the palace. If you don't want to, Mo Ruo will still send you back to the palace?"

Qionnyi was stunned - isn't King Fu a stuffy gourd? When did it become so strong? He hurriedly called, and had another calculation in his heart. It's not bad in the study. There is always a long time when he is alone with King Fu, and there is the support of concubine Li. Are you afraid that there is no chance to stand up and accept the favor?

"In that case, let's retreat first. When you are free tomorrow, I will ask someone to take you to the study to get familiar with it." Yichen didn't move and directly asked Xuanye to arrange the meal.

Qiong Yishang was still dazzling. Seeing that Fuwang didn't look at her, he bit his lip and twisted and left.

When Xuanye outside saw Qiongyi out of the courtyard, she smiled and said to Zishu, "I'm afraid she will take advantage of it. She doesn't know that the study in the inner courtyard of our royal palace is a waste. The prince never goes there."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Fu Wang shouting, "Xu Ye came in, and I have something to ask."
