Ye Zhenzhen's private charity hall could not affect the overall situation, and the emperor and others did not take it seriously. The most important thing is, who will take charge of the court's Baishan Hall?
It is foreseeable that no matter who takes up the post of coordinator, he will win the praise and gratitude of scholars all over the world. Such a position seems to be lofty, but in fact it is full of dangers - not to mention the princes who are eyeing him, as for Emperor Xuanwu, he will never allow others to do so.
Capturing people's hearts right under his nose.
He seems to be doting on Prince Wei now, but subconsciously he is still on guard - it can be seen from how he avoided Princess Wei just now and only picked Princess Ningyang to mix with Ye Zhenzhen. Everyone present is smart.
, just pretended not to notice, Princess Wei was surprisingly silent, and had no intention of helping Ye Zhenzhen.
So, does King Wei dare to ask for help?
No, he didn't dare.
Because of the example of his eldest brother being deposed as the crown prince, he became more aware of how terrifying the emperor's suspicion was, so he could only be a dutiful son instead of a covetous pretender to the throne.
However, although he can endure it, some people cannot sit still.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was getting more and more tense, the palace attendants from Fengming Palace suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen, Concubine Su, His Highness King Ke and Concubine Ke are asking for an audience."
Why are they here?
The expressions of the people in the palace became subtle. Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously observed the expression of Emperor Xuanwu with her peripheral vision, and saw that his expression was unhappy for a moment, but it soon dissipated like the wind passing by without a trace.
Jing, there was even a faint smile on his face: "Xuan."
Concubine Su and her entourage soon walked in. Concubine Su, who was headed by her, was still stunningly beautiful, but she didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Ye Zhenzhen always felt that she was a little more haggard and older than when she last saw her, as if
It seemed like he had experienced some kind of shock——
Well, her natal brother Su Yingcheng was enriching himself and committing crimes in Jingning County. Cui Weizhen exposed him to the imperial court. The whole family was exiled by assassins. Even Su Guifei was sentenced to confinement. Her favor was no longer the same. She
Life in the harem should be difficult.
As if aware of the scrutinizing gaze, Concubine Su raised her head and looked at Ye Zhenzhen. Her originally gentle and warm eyes suddenly turned as cold as ice, as if she wanted to carve out a piece of flesh from her body.
But she quickly realized where this place was, and immediately returned to her gentle and warm appearance. She even nodded to Ye Zhenzhen with a smile. With this friendly and gentle look, no one could tell that the two parties were enemies.
.
Ye Zhenzhen was amazed. This unique skill of changing faces with her hands was really impressive.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, the Queen."
"My son, I pay my respects to my father, the emperor, and my empress. Have a good day, my father, the emperor, and my empress."
"Get up and sit down."
The three of them thanked each other again and then sat down one by one. Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu had no intention of speaking, the queen took the initiative to stir up the topic and said: "My sister, the imperial concubine, has been in poor health recently and is resting in the palace. What's going on today?"
Are you interested in coming to Fengming Palace?"
The so-called resting place is just a euphemism for confinement. Although Emperor Xuanwu has released Concubine Su, she does not want to come out to face the ridicule of the concubines and add insult to injury. She has been using the excuse of being sick in the palace. Today is the first time she came out.
Ye Zhenzhen took a sip of tea as Su Guifei's face suddenly stiffened, and sighed in her heart, the queen was indeed still the queen, how kind she was to her before, she treated Su Guifei so secretly, this kind of stabbing knives into other people's hearts.
Kung Fu is simply perfect.
However, Concubine Su is not a vegetarian. The loss of power in recent months has made her impetuous, and she will lose her temper one after another in just a quarter of an hour. However, her qualities as a master of palace fighting are still there, and she soon returned to her charming and pitiful state.
He looked like he was mincing meat, and said softly: "Thanks to the Queen's concern, I visited you many times during my recuperation, and even gave you a lot of good medicinal materials, so I was able to recover quickly. So my condition is very good today.
I came here specifically to thank the Queen for taking care of me."
The queen smiled faintly: "Concubine Su, you are welcome. You and I are both sisters in the harem, and I am the master of the harem. It is my duty to look after you."
"The Queen's virtuous nature is our luck."
Concubine Su flattered the queen to the best of her ability. Concubine Ke also set up a stage next to her and said with a smile: "Concubine Su often says that you are the most charitable queen. You are born with a heart of a Bodhisattva. She is in the palace.
For so many years, I have been able to serve my father whole-heartedly thanks to your care. My daughter-in-law and Your Highness are deeply moved. If it were not for the inconvenience of entering the palace, my daughter-in-law would really like to be like a daughter-in-law from an ordinary family, serving you day and night by my mother's side."
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "You are interested."
"Oh, hypocritical."
Princess Ningyang couldn't help but complain. Of course, she didn't dare to speak too loudly, because Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be in a good mood at this time, and seemed very satisfied with the harmonious scene of his harem's wives and concubines.
However, Ye Zhenzhen and Princess Wei were both speechless. Princess Wei was probably disgusted, so she and Ye Zhenzhen secretly bit their ears and said: "When you are polite to others, you must ask for something. Concubine Su and her party, what is the purpose of our visit?"
It’s definitely not simple.”
Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows in surprise. If Su Guifei wanted to request the queen or the emperor, she could choose the time at will. Why did she choose to come when she and Cui Weizhen were there? After all, they were outsiders and were not afraid of being laughed at?
Wait...just come here when they are around...
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Princess Wei again, she seemed to know why.
Sure enough, Princess Ke's topic suddenly shifted to Ye Zhenzhen for some reason, and she looked at her with a smile: "What a coincidence, I bumped into Mrs. Jing Ningbo today. I seem to have heard that you are planning to build a charity school recently.
Tang, I’ve been very busy lately, so I rarely see you at banquets.”
really.
Everyone looked at her, even King Ke, who had been looking at her intently after entering the hall. It was hard to understand whether his eyes were sharp or complicated and regretful.
Ye Zhenzhen did not forget that Cui Weizhen was still on the opposite side, and did not have long contact with his eyes. He just glanced past him and finally landed on Princess Ke's face: "Your Highness is very well-informed about the news. Although I plan to prepare hundreds of
Shantang, but I didn’t reveal the news privately, I just discussed it with my husband, I wonder how you knew about it?”
Emperor Xuanwu on the side instantly suppressed all smiles, and his eyes instantly became sharp and majestic.
Princess Ke was startled, all the rosiness on her face instantly faded, and she subconsciously looked at King Ke - how did she know where her prince knew the news? She was just a sounding board.
Prince Ke suddenly became the center of attention in the palace, and he almost couldn't keep the smile on his face - a stupid woman cannot be taught, and a dignified minister with a rich daughter can't even compare with a woman from a rural background. It's really stupid.
