"Your Majesty, Piaoxue is not sure, but she is at least 90% sure." Piaoxue lowered her head slowly again, looking sobbing and guilty, "It's all because Piaoxue was bad and didn't take care of her, which is why the Queen was implicated.
So much so that the empress still has to protect Piaoxue. Originally...originally, it wasn't like this..."
"Where did her set of jewelry come from?" Concubine Ning interrupted Piao Xue impatiently.
"Piaoxue doesn't know. Grandma only said that she found out with great difficulty." Piaoxue shook her head. She rarely went out in the palace. She was basically in Concubine Ning's palace, and her every move was under Concubine Ning's control.
, it is indeed impossible that she really found out about it herself.
But Mrs. Yu?
Concubine Ning was dubious: "Is your grandmother's inquiry reliable? Not just anyone can find out about this kind of thing."
"Don't worry, Madam. Grandma said... it's very reliable. Yu Xijiao has just arrived in the capital, and she doesn't know many things at all. I heard that at tomorrow's school opening banquet, the daughters of each family are required to dress up as gorgeously as possible, and their clothes, jewelry, hair, and appearance are also the most beautiful."
It’s better to use something with more colors to please the queen in the palace.”
Piaoxue Road.
"To please people? Concubine Zhen actually likes this tone the most." Concubine Ning said disapprovingly, Concubine Zhen was the cause of this situation.
Fortunately, it was outside the palace and the emperor would not see it. Otherwise, she would have wondered if someone came to the emperor on purpose and competed with her for his favor.
"That's what the Queen said." Piaoxue responded.
"Okay, you go down first. I'll see what the future Princess of Qi will look like tomorrow, wearing the jewelry designed by King Yong himself." Concubine Ning smiled, raising the corners of her lips,
mocked.
"Piaoxue excuses herself." Piaoxue stood up knowingly and bowed sideways.
Concubine Ning waved her hand and motioned for her to go down.
Piaoxue turned around and left. When she returned to her side hall, she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her mediocre and simple self in the makeup mirror, with a cold look in her eyes.
Who is Concubine Ning? She scolded her casually. Doesn't it mean that she has the emperor's favor? She also has it, and she is older than her, and she will even give birth to a little prince...
When she gives birth to the little prince in the future, she will step on Concubine Ning's head and let her know who is the final winner. Now she can only flatter her.
The eyes in the mirror became sinister.
"My young master, will Concubine Ning not care?" Xingyu closed the door and walked in softly and asked.
The master and the servant are even more cautious here, for fear that if one of them makes the wrong move, they will be doomed. If the master can endure it, so can the maid.
"She will care." Piaoxue raised her head and looked out the window. She could see the location of the main hall in the distance. "My father's failure is not her failure. For me...she planned a lot, but in the end because of
Yu Xijiao is in vain, I have entered the palace, but unlike what she imagined, there is no help from behind me, and she cannot get help from behind me."
She had analyzed Concubine Ning's meaning very clearly before entering the palace.
Concubine Ning and the empress are fighting, and they have maintained a delicate balance for so many years. What is even more balanced is that neither of them has any children, but the empress at least has a princess. Concubine Ning really has nothing. The emperor is fine now, and there is nothing.
It's a big deal. If something happens to the emperor in the future, the queen will definitely be the queen mother. Concubine Ning is nothing, she can't be rubbed by the queen!
Concubine Ning needed an heir, but she couldn't give birth. After Piaoxue entered the palace, she secretly inquired about it. It seemed that Concubine Ning's body couldn't give birth. If she couldn't give birth to a child herself, she would have to cooperate with the concubine who gave birth to the prince.
The biological mothers of the three princes are not young anymore. They have been in the palace for many years and have fought with Concubine Ning. It is impossible for Concubine Ning to settle the past feud with them. Even if the past resentment is temporarily resolved, Concubine Ning will not believe them and will feel that they are taking advantage of them.
She may step on her more severely than the queen did in the future.
She has to find someone she likes and give birth to an heir.
The palace concubine who gave birth to an heir cannot be without any influence, otherwise it would be better to find a palace girl.
A powerful new palace concubine gave birth to a little prince. Concubine Ning worked together with her to protect the little prince, and they were able to deal with the empress. Concubine Ning would definitely hold the newborn little prince under her knees and raise her.
, at least they have to develop a relationship. If the two of them reach an agreement early, there will be no disputes.
The two worked together to deal with the queen and other princes, and finally helped the young prince ascend to the throne, and both became queen mothers.
This was not uncommon in history. There were two queen mothers, one for the biological mother and the other for the adoptive mother.
A very important point here is that the new concubine must also be strong. The Ning clan relies on Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning is not given much strength. There are too many people to deal with. Concubine Ning cannot do it alone, so she needs this
The new concubine is capable.
That's why she was chosen.
If the second wife of Zhengyuanhou Mansion is successful, she will seize the title of Marquis Zhengyuan. Piaoxue is the daughter of Marquis Zhengyuan and the daughter of Concubine Ning's family. She has been training her to the emperor's liking early on, and even
The emperor would meet her by chance outside the palace. All the arrangements and arrangements were now in vain.
Only the last bit is left to enter the palace.
And all this is because of Yu Xijiao. It is impossible for Concubine Ning to like Yu Xijiao. Although Concubine Ning has never made a move before, it is just that there is no chance. If there is a chance, how can Concubine Ning let Yu Xijiao go?
After many years of planning, it finally came to nothing, and Concubine Ning's resentment may not be less than hers.
"Little Master, could it be that if Miss Yu doesn't wear that set of jewelry, I feel that Miss Yu... is not that easy to deal with?" Xing Yu said uneasily.
She was Yu Lanxue's eldest maid when she was at the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. Her status had always been extraordinary and she had never been offended. But now she had to swallow her anger. Everyone around Concubine Ning wanted to scold her.
She scolded her.
"Yu Xijiao usually dresses up, and although the jewelry on her body is gorgeous, it is not inlaid with various gemstones, or inlaid with such brilliant colors. Tomorrow is her entrance ceremony. In the past, Concubine Zhen scolded students for being too plain.
It shows that even if she is difficult to deal with, she will still wear one or two to suit the occasion."
Piaoxue sneered.
Of course she knew how beautiful and brilliant that set of jewelry was. It was originally hers and she got it with great difficulty, but now because of the unusualness of this set of jewelry, she had to leave it at her grandmother's place. Grandma is now sending it to her.
Yu Xijiao's hands were just right.
The woman in the mirror has a soft face and a pair of eyes that can speak. Such a woman should have been married to a young and talented man, but she had to go to the palace to accompany the old emperor.
She is ambitious and capable. If she is given time, she can actually make a better choice and choose someone younger and more capable to marry, instead of a young prostitute that everyone can step on now.
The eyes in the mirror are full of ambition, but actually...she might not have a chance in the future...
"Your Majesty, this set of three-color jewelry was made by the craftsmen in the palace. It is together with the set that was originally sent to me. The queen rewarded the three princes. I checked and found that this set belongs to His Highness King Yong." Huai.
Bao put the jewelry box on the table and pointed at the set of jewelry with a smile.
"Where is that set?" Feng Yu recalled, vaguely remembering that when the imperial grandmother sent someone to Qi, his father rewarded him.
"Your Majesty, when I went to the capital, the prince asked me to put that suit in my luggage. I was afraid that you might need it in the capital, so my servant has already sent someone to find it. You can get it in a moment." Huai Bao reported.
Feng Yu nodded noncommittally: "No need to take it over, send it to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
"Okay, I will take care of it in a moment." Huaibao was not surprised at all by his master's decision. His master now has a master. Of course, he has to think about the Crown Princess in everything. He will let others bully him wherever he can.
He went and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do about this situation?"
"Keep it for now, maybe you'll use it later." Feng Yu said with a scornful tone.
"Yes, I understand." Huaibao waved his hand, and a chamberlain came over to collect the jewelry box.
"Your Majesty, it is confirmed that Concubine Ning will leave the palace tomorrow. Concubine De does not like such lively things and prefers to serve the Buddha quietly."
This empress dowager looks extremely pious. If she had not been a concubine, she would rather become a monk. The emperor advocates Taoism. The empress dowager likes to worship Buddha the most. The empress will accompany the empress dowager from time to time. This
Concubine De was extremely pious and spent almost every day in the Buddhist hall in the palace.
"Concubine Ning! That's good, then it's her." Feng Yu raised his handsome eyebrows and said disapprovingly.
"Your Majesty, what should I do about the Crown Prince of Zhongshan?" Huaibao asked cautiously.
"He... can do whatever he wants. If anything happens, Zhongshan Kingdom will protect him." Feng Yu chuckled, his voice pleasant but a bit cold.
"Yes, I know this, but... what should Miss Yu do?" Huaibao looked at his master and carefully said what he wanted to say the most.
Who cares about the safety of Prince Zhongshan? This is not the responsibility of a chamberlain around Prince Qi. He only cares about the future crown prince.
Who would have thought that his master would personally ask for Miss Yu San’s hand in marriage. Others don’t know his master’s temperament, and Huai Bao still doesn’t know it. If he doesn’t want to agree, even if the King of Heaven comes, he won’t be able to do it. Even if he can’t be strong, he still has a lot of ideas.
There are ways to push back, but this time, I didn’t push back and took the initiative.
This is a good thing that Huaibao has never thought of for so many years. He previously thought that as long as his master agreed to get married, it would be a great thing, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative.
Thinking of the excitement, Huai Bao almost wanted to cry. The old master can feel at ease now. From now on, a little master will be born, and the old master no longer has to worry about his own master.
"Find two people to pay attention to her safety. If there is chaos tomorrow, let someone protect her and go home first." Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and lazily looked at the sunshine outside the window, and then sighed leisurely, "That's all.
You girl is pretty good, you can stir up a lot of trouble wherever you go, she is better than this prince!"
"What I'm saying is that I don't even know who the third princess is, Miss Yu." Huaibao said repeatedly, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. The master was really interested in Miss Yu, and he had already made arrangements.
However, this is a bit unfair to Miss Yu San. It is obvious that wherever her master is, there will be chaos.
But whether it's the eldest son or the eldest concubine, there's actually nothing to argue about. The whole family... is all one family...
