"I'm afraid I won't be able to help him then!" Concubine Zhen was not that optimistic. She knew she knew it, but what the heck, it was not him who made the real decision.
"I just hope that after Concubine Ning gives up her heart, she can treat your third brother wholeheartedly. If she can really do this, I will respect her in the future." Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth and said, for the sake of her son, she could make concessions.
When none of this happened, Concubine Ning was devoted to her son from the beginning to the end.
Of course, what he said at this time is true. Before his son ascends the throne, he can be allowed to do anything, but no one can say what will happen in the future.
"Concubine, don't worry. Third brother is a smart man. If you really can't push him away, you can still delay him. Since Concubine Ning is on our side now, she also hopes that third brother will be well." The sixth princess said.
Concubine Zhen nodded, and a new worry arose: "I don't know how the peace talks are going in detail. If the peace talks don't succeed, will your father blame your third brother? I haven't made it clear what the specific regulations are."
Whether the peace talks are successful or not depends on the next step, and this is the most important thing now.
Concubine Zhen understands, and so does the Sixth Princess.
"Don't worry, concubine, I'll ask Crown Prince Yangshan to inquire." The Sixth Princess said.
Concubine Zhen's brows furrowed more and more, and she warned: "Rong'er, you are marrying someone other than the Crown Prince Yangshan Hou. If the seventh princess knows about this, I'm afraid even mother and concubine won't be able to protect you."
"Don't worry, mother and concubine. My daughter understands that she is just asking Prince Yangshan about some things. You also know that Prince Yangshan actually had no choice but to marry Feng Ningshuang." The Sixth Princess said disapprovingly, "If Feng Ningshuang hadn't robbed her by force.
, I am the princess engaged to Prince Yangshanhou."
With Li Xian's correct words, the Sixth Princess felt quite proud.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Concubine Zhen's face changed drastically and she glared at her daughter.
The sixth princess immediately apologized: "Mom, it's my daughter's fault. My daughter won't talk nonsense in the future."
"If the news really spreads... Do you want to be a human being? Do you want to be a human being? Not only the seventh princess, but also the queen will not let us go."
Concubine Zhen warned in a low voice, looking nervous,
"Mother, my daughter knows." The sixth princess said obediently.
Seeing her daughter like this, Concubine Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "The Queen looks fair and treats the princes equally, but in fact she is just pretending."
"Mother, my daughter understands." The sixth princess took Concubine Zhen's hand, shook it gently and said coquettishly.
"It's best if you think so. My mother-in-law won't stay with you any longer and will go back first." Concubine Zhen stood up, and the sixth princess also stood up, wanting to see her off.
After taking a step, Concubine Zhen stopped and hesitated: "If you get... any news, you must come and report it to me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, mother and concubine, my daughter understands." The sixth princess said with a smile, and then sent Concubine Zhen out of the house.
After coming back, I sat in front of the window again, picked up the letter I had just hidden, and read it again, with a shy look on my face at the end.
This time, it’s a clear answer!
This was the first time for such a clear reply. The Sixth Princess was very satisfied and felt that it was her sincerity and it was a great success.
Ever since she met Li Xian, the Sixth Princess wanted to marry Li Xian, and her urgency was no less than that of the Seventh Princess.
Originally, it was easy for the royal princess to marry whomever she liked, but there happened to be a seventh princess among them, who was younger than herself, but whose status was more respected than hers.
It can be said that she and Prince Yangshan are in love with each other. They agree with each other no matter what they say or do. They can be said to be a natural match. However, she is the sixth princess and cannot compare to the seventh princess.
If it were her, she would never push Prince Yangshan out to ward off the disaster and let him take in the woman in order to gain his father's forgiveness.
The Seventh Princess has been recuperating from her injuries recently, so it’s not okay to stop making trouble...
The more trouble Feng Ningshuang makes, the better it gets, and the more troubles she gets, the better. She even dragged the Queen down before. If she does it again, the Queen will no longer have the strength to speak in front of her father.
The so-called middle palace is the queen, and the mother is responsible for the world. Even her own daughter's character is not up to par.
Feng Ningshuang’s troubles
, the more trouble, the better. In the past, it was all related to Feng Yu and Yu Xijiao. She didn't dare to use force with Feng Yu, for fear of accidentally getting into trouble, but Yu Xijiao could!
Just now my people reported back that the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was on fire. It was said that they were making a new May 7 for Yu Lanxuan. What Yu Xijiao cared about most was not Yu Lanxuan's affairs!
Yu Xijiao didn't know that her act of burning books not only shocked Li Xian, but also triggered a series of chain reactions...
The sixth princess heard the news from outside and was making plans. The seventh princess also lay on the bed and listened to the palace maid's report.
She herself could not leave the palace, but the people around her could secretly leave the palace. The queen's people also turned a blind eye to this.
The palace maid reported first about Yu Xijiao, and the two royal princesses paid attention to Yu Xijiao together.
When the palace maid finished reporting, the seventh princess was thoughtful!
Just a pair of small earrings actually caused waves. If she tried harder, Yu Xijiao would definitely not be able to sit still...
However, she is now also very interested in another news: "Burned? Doing May-Seven?"
"This is what people from the Zhengyuanhou Mansion said. They said that at that time, the second-in-command of the Zhengyuanhou Mansion did not do a good job for Lanxuan County Lord. Now he is doing it again and burned everything that should be burned.
I'm afraid that Lord Lanxuan doesn't have anything underground." The palace maid said respectfully.
This matter could not be hidden from anyone. The thick smoke from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion rose up, and some people thought it was because the sky had dried up and the water had gone out. There were many people asking about it, and the people of the Seventh Princess were also among them, so it was not out of the ordinary.
These words were also explained by the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
Seeing that the servants of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion were so calm without any panic, everyone believed that this matter was true, and the matter about Yu Lanxuan was brought up again.
"Humph, the burned bones have turned to ashes, and yet they are still making a fuss. They can't die anymore." The seventh princess snorted coldly, and then added in a low voice, "It's an advantage for her."
Dying too quickly deprived her of a lot of joy. In her original plan, she did not intend for her to die so happily...
"What's burning?" the seventh princess asked casually.
"I heard that some of the old things, clothes, books, etc. used by Mr. Lanxuan County are all flammable." Knowing that her master wanted to ask, the maid asked about it in detail, and after thinking about it, she added
One sentence, "I think some letters may have been burned."
The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion once again gave Yu Lanxuan a five-seven job, and everyone in the palace who knew about it was secretly discussing the matter. When the palace maids came in to report, they often heard some palace officials secretly discussing everything.
Several people were talking about the letter. After hearing this, they couldn't help but feel uneasy, so they added this sentence when reporting to the Seventh Princess.
"Letters?" The seventh princess suddenly asked, "What kind of letters are they?"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "I don't know, I only asked outside the house."
"Go and find out if there are any other letters." The seventh princess said.
"Princess, you may not be able to find the slave." The palace maid regretted the words she had just added. Originally, the matter ended here.
It was also an accident. In order to win the princess's reward, she told me about the letter. She had heard it a lot along the way, so she couldn't help but add it.
In fact, the servants of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion did not say anything about the letter.
"With so many letters, one or two will always fall out. If you look for them, you can find something useful." The seventh princess said thoughtfully. Why didn't she think of it before? Since Yu Xijiao cares about
Yu Lanxuan, Yu Lanxuan’s things are most likely to seduce her.
"Princess... I'll give it a try," the palace maid said in embarrassment. There was no guarantee that this would be possible.
"If you don't have letters, you can also try other things, clothes that haven't been burned, books that haven't been burned, and other items that can't be burned." The seventh princess now thought more broadly.
It is not impossible to think of other things from letters.
Hearing what she said, the palace maid breathed a sigh of relief. The wider the scope, the more she can do. It doesn't have to be intimate items, it can also be other things, as long as it is Yu Lanxuan
Yes, you can listen to what the princess wants.
"Then let's do it!" The seventh princess waved her hand.
The palace maid was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped again: "Has Princess Duan entered the palace?"
"Princess Duan did not enter the palace."
"If she comes to the palace again this time, send her a message and ask her to come and see me." The Seventh Princess snorted coldly. Zhang Wanyin's proposal was good, and the jewelry gift was also good, but there were some things that were not convenient for her to do.
, Zhang Wanyin is quite suitable. The queen mother said that Zhang Wanyin has a different intention, so it’s just right that she should be responsible for the matter...
"Yes!" the palace maid responded and stepped back.
"Where is the Emperor?" The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chariot and asked the chamberlain in front of her coldly.
The chamberlain in front of the imperial study hurriedly knelt down and reported: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor has gone to the Zichen Palace."
"Go to the Purple Chen Palace." The Queen Mother said dissatisfiedly. At this time, the Emperor should be working diligently in the Imperial Study Room.
The phoenix chariot turned around and headed towards the Zichen Palace. The clever chamberlain had already trotted to report.
Hearing that the Queen Mother was coming, the Emperor waved his hands displeased, and the charming Piaoxue behind him retreated into the inner hall first.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother must have something important to do when she comes here." Qin Zhenren said with a smile, "Please excuse me. If Your Majesty feels hot, just use more tea."
The emperor rubbed his brows, his face was red and unhappy, and he used the medicine at this time. It was when people used the special technique taught by Qin Zhenren to rub it in, and it felt particularly good if there was a beauty at this time.
It would be better to be with you, but I didn’t expect it would be too late at this time.
Waving his hand for Qin Zhenren to step aside, the emperor picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a few sips to suppress the heat in his heart.
The tea was cold, which was just right for me. I drank half a cup in one gulp, and then I felt the heat was a little relieved.
I leaned back, closed my eyes and rested my mind, when I heard someone outside reporting: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!"
"Please come in, Queen Mother." The emperor suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said.
I felt fine just now, but now I feel a little not so good.
The Queen Mother led the people in angrily. When she came in, she saw her son sitting there with a blushing face and blurred eyes. She was suddenly startled and did not bother to call for questioning. "Is the Emperor feeling unwell? Dr. Xuan, come here and take a look."
"Mother, I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just a little tired. What's going on, mother?" The emperor was upset in his heart, but he had to suppress his temper and answer.
At times like this, the Queen Mother would never come over normally. In fact, it was not just at times like this, the Queen Mother would basically not come over to see him. At most, she would ask someone to tell him that she wanted to go see the Queen Mother.
