Chapter 26 Ji Yue

It was night. Nie Yuansheng listened to Mu Biwei's failed discussion with Yun Mengru and smiled: "You are not necessarily the most urgent thing in this matter."

Mu Bi was slightly stunned, but saw Nie Yuansheng pointing to the direction of the cold palace and said with a faint smile, "The Qu family has waited for such an opportunity... Do you think that from the illustriousness of the previous dynasty to a few years ago, no one can match the beam, and it is really not easy to fall? If you don't seize this opportunity to return to the ranks of ministers, you can't even think about it! This is the best opportunity. According to what I know about Qu, Princess Tongchang suddenly returned, probably just to send the empress dowager this journey!"

"But what Princess Tongchang said..." Mu Bi frowned slightly, "Isn't it to prepare for a few days? If she murdered the empress dowager, how can your majesty believe what will happen next? What's more, the Empress Dowager doesn't like her. I don't think the princess is smart. I really don't think she can attack the Empress Dowager.

Nie Yuansheng smiled faintly: "Of course, this charge has nothing to do with the princess. Princess Tongchang is weak. How can she do such a big thing? However, Qu has his own arrangement.

"Why are you so sure?" Mu Biwei said suspiciously, "But you have met her, and she said so?"

Nie Yuansheng said hurriedly, "I'm so busy now. I'm here to find you, Chen Guang. How can I have time to talk to her? It's just that the Qu family has been quiet and well-behaved now. If you are not sure, where do you think the Qu family can calm down?

Mu Bi frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand. According to the news, even if it is not reported to the emperor immediately, it is impossible for the families to know it, but the royal family doesn't know it?"

"I knew the news at the earliest." Nie Yuansheng said as if nothing had happened, "Do you know... I sold it!"

"Did you sell it?" Mu Bi was stunned and then woke up and said, "Are you going to act with the help of the family?"

Nie Yuansheng said calmly, "This is natural, but the first thing I told was Qu. The whole plan was originally discussed by her and me. Of course, you also know that behind her is the whole Qu family. Behind me are you, your, your husband and our two families. Although the general purpose is similar, the details are different, so they are With a hand... Now I don't have time to explain to you in detail. After all, it's hard to say whether Qu will suddenly change her mind... If she changes, I have to deal with it... In a word, if the water is clear, there will be no fish..."

He said meaningfully, "You can only fish with mixed water!"

"A few days ago, someone visited the palace at night..." Mu Bi pondered slightly, "Did you go to see her later, but what happened in the plan?"

Nie Yuansheng stroked her cheek with a smile, but only said, "Have a good rest. There is still something to do tomorrow."

......................................................................................

The next day, something happened, and Princess Tongchang asked to continue to go back to pray for Daliang and the Empress Dowager.

She is so knowledgeable that not only surprised the Empress Dowager Gao, but also surprised Ji Shen. Although she is a little suspicious, the Empress Dowager and Ji Shen are impatient with her in the palace - the best interest. At present, the Empress Dowager retains a few words, the princess insists and encourages her a few words.

Just encouraging the royal family to be too ruthless. The Empress Dowager issued a formal tribute, and ordered the six palaces to bathe and change clothes for three days, and set up a family banquet in the imperial hall.

After listening to Yi's order, Mu Biwei thought about it for a long time and couldn't guess Qu's intention. Originally, she thought that Princess Tongchang had arranged to attack the Empress Dowager when she was left in the Heyi Hall by the Empress Dowager, but Princess Tongchang was not the one who could do it at all. The Highness looked rebellious and obedient, and I'm afraid she didn't even kill the chicken. Dare, and now it seems that the Qu family has already agreed with the princess. Now the princess is going to retreat... What should the Empress Dowager do?

Three days of bathing and changing clothes, at the family banquet in the Heyi Hall, Mu Biwei still didn't figured out. At the banquet, the Empress Dowager was very affectionate and affectionate Princess Tongchang, and there was no such a little pretentious Chenguang. After three years of absence, Tongchang became more and more beautiful, but he looked more silent, but she always maintained humility to be timid. The appearance.

The Empress Dowager exchanged greetings with the princess for a long time. Looking at the slightly restrained hall and her face, she said happily, "Don't you come up to worship the fourth mother?"

Since it is a family banquet, there is certainly no reason why the king of Anping, the king of Guangling, the princess of Xuanning, the king of Gaoyang and the princess of Gaoyang will not come.

King Anping seems to be much older recently. He came alone. Like the eldest princess Xuanning, although Lou Wangu can't get rid of himself in Yingzhou, he still took his eldest son and wife and the second son. Only King Anping only brought a beautiful servant into the hall. The prince of Anping hurriedly married Princess Anping before she left to pray for blessings. At the request of the Empress Dowager, she was sent to be a guard not far from Ye. Ji Yan, the eldest daughter of King Anping, was known for a few years ago. It was impossible for the King of Anping to bring his concubine in on such an occasion... Besides, after the death of Baoji, King Anping didn't even care much about women. Wang After the concubine left, although two concubines entered the palace one after another, they were not as proud as Baoji in the past.

The appearance of him sitting alone looks really bleak. After all, he is his beloved son. Empress Dowager Gao feels a little uncomfortable, but she doesn't think there is anything wrong with insisting on killing Baoji in those years. Now she suddenly mentions that the toast was originally expected by King Anping to answer the speech. After all, the family banquet is orderly - if you don't want King Anping, you don't know. The Empress Dowager mentioned it, and others waited for him to answer, but he looked at the cup in his hand and didn't say anything.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, He smiled and said, "Looking at the appearance of the Empress Dowager who loves Princess Tongchang, the concubines and others are afraid that the princess drinks too much and complain about the concubines!"

"I can still drink a few cups." Tongchang has always dared not refuse others and is timid to hear the words.

The Empress Dowager stared at King Anping and smiled: "There are more people. Si Niang just use a small cup."

In this way, the He family got up and took the lead in toasting, and had to say some words of gratitude and praise to Tongchang. There were not many concubines at the family banquet, or to give the emperor's heirs esteem. Before the birth of Princess Xiping, only two or three concubines and Ouyang could attend the family banquet with the Summer Palace.

This time, there are only five people, Mu Biwei, Jiao, Da Gaofei and Xiao Gaofei. The others are useless. The eldest prince and Princess Changkang's biological mother, Little He Shifu, are not qualified to look at their children so far, let alone come to the banquet.

After the concubine, she was the heir of the emperor. Yaoguang, who is now only three years old, took a baby name with her sisters. She didn't have a serious name yet. She also learned from her fourth brother Jiwei and held Dazhan to celebrate her aunt's birthday. When she drank it, she splashed herself all over. She did not cry and returned to Da Gaofei with a smile. , the eldest concubine looked angry and funny, so she pleaded with the Empress Dowager to take her down to change her clothes.

The Empress Dowager Gao can see clearly in the temple, which is naturally accurate.

Because of the toast, the atmosphere gradually warmed up. Princess Guangling and Princess Gaoyang focused on taking care of their children. From time to time, they also talked and laughed with each other or with the eldest princess Xuanning, and smiled at Yan Yan, looking like a harmonious scene of mother-in-in-eun.

Mu Biwei stared at Ji Yu not to be greedy for cold food and coaxed him to eat some dishes. Ji Yue, the son of the king of Guangling, suddenly came over, saluted Mu Biwei with a smile, and asked Ji Qian about Ji's injury: "I couldn't go with my father because of the cold, but I didn't expect to hear that my cousin was injured. I don't know if he is better now?"

Ji Qian had put down his teeth and chopsticks when he came over. At this moment, he got up and thanked him and said, "Let my cousin worry about it. I's not a big deal." He stretched out the back of his hand again. Sure enough, only a not-heavy scar had been scabed, and he said, "It's the fourth brother who was shocked."

Ji Yue nodded and said kindly, "It's also lucky." But he didn't say much, so he went to the table on He's side to express his condolences to Ji Wei.

Mu Bi squeezed her lips and looked at the banquet of Princess Guangling, but saw that she was smiling and talking to the eldest princess Xuanning. She didn't seem to pay attention to her son's behavior - but Ji Yue was different from the head of Yiyang County, and she was the master of Weiyang County. Zitian, and there were not many juniors in the clan room a few years ago. Princess Xiping was the oldest of this generation of princesses, and she was also nine years younger than Aiyang. At that time, Aiyang was not very old. When she entered the palace, she was impatient to accompany her elders. It was not surprising to play with Xiping and Xintai.

Ji Yue is not a person who likes to walk around...

Did Princess Guangling specially ask him to greet her?

Mu Biwei was thinking about it. Ji Yue didn't know what she had said to Ji Wei, so she saw Ji Wei coming alone and said, "The Shepherd's concubine!"

"Shilang?" Mu Bi asked in a hurry and kindly.

Ji Wei smiled and said, "Mother, the second cousin said that the cousin of the Lou family has just returned from Yingzhou. There are many stories. I want to hear it. I don't know if the third brother is interested?"

Before Mu Biwei replied, Ji Yu's eyes had already lit up and shouted, "Mother concubine, my son is going!"

Mu Bi smiled gently, looked at Ji Yan, asked him to shut up, and then said, "Silang is really polite. He actually came to ask him in person. In fact, it's so close that it's just a waiter to say it."

Ji Wei, as if she didn't hear the meaning of her words at all, continued to smile and said, "The imperial concubine is here, and there are few steps. The minister himself came over and said that the third brother is the elder brother. The mother said that the brother is respectful, that is, the younger brother should respect the brother! How can you call a waiter instead of coming in person? Oh, it was also the minister who asked the second cousin some questions such as riding and shooting. The second cousin recommended the cousin of the Lou family and talked about pestering the cousin of the Lou family to tell us stories... It's not that the second cousin just came over and forgot to tell the third brother. Don't take the third brother to heart."

What he said was magnificent, but he deliberately reminded Ji to remember Ji Yue, and even provoked Mu Biwei. Mu Biwei didn't care about these tricks and smiled indifferently, "I saw that the eldest son of the Lou family is still accompanying Princess Xuanning with his wife. Why are you going to listen to it with just two people?"

Ji Wei was stunned and then said, "I don't know if my sister and the fourth sister like it..."

"Your cousin has been trained in the barracks, but don't just listen to stories." After Mu Biwei and Ji Wei said these words, Ji Wei pulled her clothes vigorously. Mu Biwei had no choice but to say something to him, and then continued to say to the two, "Yutong and the others are now with the head of Aoyang County, and there is no need to disturb their interest. It happens that you two went to invite your eldest brother and second brother together."

Ji Wei smiled and said, "What the shepherd's concubine said is very true, and the minister did not mean to leave the two brothers." He slowly said, "I just don't know if the two brothers are willing to go. After all, the two brothers are not very familiar with the cousins of the Lou family. This..."

"This is given to your third brother." Mu Bi told Ji Yu with a slight smile, "Anyway, you are young, and it's not shameful to play coquettishly in front of your brother..."

Half of the words, Ji Yu has already understood and acted coquettishly. Isn't this his best at fighting? What's the point of dragging two brothers who are not used to contacting strangers to patrol the building?

As for why his mother wanted him to do this... Ji Yu has always been open-minded. Now he is thinking about listening to the story, so he has no time to think about it.
