Dongling Yuanyong almost unreservedly expressed his affection for Ximen Yourong in front of Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi also heard it clearly!
She knew that Dongling Yuanyong deliberately took the time to communicate with her to this point, not only because he respected her as a mother-in-law, but also because he wanted to get her support.
How could Concubine Yi really go against him? She was just worried that he might be too independent and lose the emperor's balance.
However, Concubine Yi suddenly remembered that Prince Xiahou had escaped a disaster. She had planned to find out the specific situation, so she followed Dongling Yuanyong's words and asked with a half smile:
"The Queen has no redeeming qualities in His Majesty's eyes, but it does not affect His Majesty's love for her at all. It can be seen that the Queen's redeeming features may be hidden, right?"
"She does have unexpected merits!" Dongling Yuanyong's eyes were full of smiles!
"For example, did you save the life of Prince Xiahou?"
"Does the mother-in-law know?"
The fact that Ximen Yourong saved Xiahou Chunyan has not been fully disclosed yet, but he did not deliberately let people block the news. Therefore, there should be rumors outside now, and it is not surprising that Concubine Yi would hear something.
"I don't really know, I just heard some rumors yesterday. It's a big deal that Prince Xiahou almost had an accident in our imperial city. The Queen is mentioned in the rumors again, so it must be groundless!"
After Concubine Yi knew that Dongling Yuanyong had taken Ximen Yourong to the palace of Prince Xiahou a few days ago, she vaguely guessed that Ximen Yourong had to go to the palace.
Dongling Yuanyong did not hide anything from Concubine Yi. He told Concubine Yi that Ximen Yourong was proficient in medical skills.
After hearing this, Concubine Yi smiled and said clearly:
"It's no wonder that with just a few jars of pickled flowers and pickled grass, she was able to clear up the stubborn illness that I had suffered for many years. I think she secretly treated me from the very beginning!"
Dongling Yuanyong smiled lightly and did not answer Concubine Yi's words. Concubine Yi did not continue to discuss Ximen Yourong's knowledge of medicine, but she returned to the topic seriously and said:
"Yong'er, although the concubine still doesn't fully agree with your decision not to accept the new concubine, the concubine will not force you now. The concubine is willing to try to trust you. But this is not something that can be calmed down by the concubine's support.
Do you think that the veterans headed by Dong Yan actively proposed taking concubines just because of my request? In fact, they are more anxious than me, so if you don't satisfy them, even if I don't make trouble for you, they will definitely not
Leave you in peace!"
"As long as my mother-in-law is willing to understand me, I will satisfy the courtiers!"
"Your concubine doesn't accept it, and the prince hasn't been found yet. How can you satisfy them?"
Concubine Yi couldn't help but complain again. If she hadn't been reluctant to put pressure on Dongling Yuanyong, she would have wanted to be a bad person for once!
"If taking a concubine can make them stop, I'll take it!"
Dongling Yuanyong's lips were raised with confidence, and he was fighting wits and courage with the courtiers. Even if he was not a proficient person, he was still familiar with it!
Although Concubine Yi did not dare to say that she knew Dongling Yuanyong very well, she at least knew that the "concubine" Dongling Yuanyong mentioned was definitely not the same thing as the "concubine" she expected.
"Yong'er, if you want to choose a noble girl to satisfy the courtiers, my mother and concubine will not agree. Since you don't care about others, you can't delay the good life of those wealthy people."
Concubine Yi thought that Dongling Yuanyong wanted to "ruin" the rest of the lives of those noble ladies, which she did not agree with at all.
She herself had been in the harem all her life and had seen many women who were not favored by the emperor and lived a lonely life.
She herself was lucky. The late emperor favored her and she became pregnant with the prince. With the care of Queen Fuxuan, she was able to establish a solid foundation in the harem. Later, because she gave birth to a son, she gained more or less attention from the late emperor, which also gave her the opportunity to
Click to occupy a place in front of the late emperor!
But the late emperor did not fall in love with anyone as absolutely as Dongling Yuanyong. If Dongling Yuanyong didn't want to share the rain and dew, then why bother to delay the innocent woman.
However, Concubine Yi was wrong. Dongling Yuanyong said that he already had someone chosen, but it was not a noblewoman from the imperial city, but his concubine Sejin who stayed in the border area. He planned to take her to the imperial city and make her his queen.
concubine.
In this way, he can be regarded as a concubine!
Although Concubine Yi didn't know what arrangements Dongling Yuanyong had made, since he had already prepared countermeasures, Concubine Yi didn't want to worry about it so much for the time being. She just complained casually:
"I have gone through thousands of choices and finally selected so many noble girls who are suitable to marry into our royal family, but it is such a pity that you don't want any of them!"
Dongling Yuanyong raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"If the mother-in-law really wants them to marry into the royal family, it's not difficult. Anyway, it's time for Yuanxi to get a wife. Why don't the mother-in-law make arrangements for him. In this way, Yuanhao will have a family, and it will not be a pity for the noble daughter that the mother-in-law likes. In this way,
Isn’t it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?”
Dongling Yuanyong's proposal was actually a bit of a trick to his own brother, but he also wanted to give Concubine Yi some comfort. After all, it was very difficult for Concubine Yi to let Dongling Yuanhao fulfill Concubine Yi's wish on his behalf.
Not a bad comfort.
Not to mention, Concubine Yi really thought about the feasibility of cheating her biological brother like this. She didn't feel sorry for her biological son at all like she felt sorry for Dongling Yuanyong.
If she is reluctant to force Dongling Yuanyong, she is still ruthless enough to torture her own son!
At this time, I didn’t know if it was because of the “heart-to-heart connection between mother and son.” Dongling Yuanhao, who had just stepped into Xiahou Chunyan’s dormitory, suddenly sneezed several times in a row, fiercely and loudly, and then he had an inexplicable and ominous premonition!
However, before he could think about it further, Xia Hou Yiyun, who was sitting in the same row as Xia Hou Chunyan opposite him, entertained him and said:
"Prince Hao's sneezes are really hilarious... Tsk, I think you are either infected with the cold, or you are probably being scolded behind your back!"
"Yiyun, don't be rude!" Xiahou Chunyan said to stop the imperial sister from making rude jokes!
"It doesn't matter. King Xiaoyun is still a naive child. I, an adult, will not argue with him."
Dongling Yuanhao glanced at Xia Hou Yiyun with a "tolerant and generous" look, but in Xia Hou Yiyun's eyes, his eyes were filled with contempt. She almost smacked him back with a curl of the corner of her mouth, but then she thought about it and secretly endured it.
Living.
Because she and Dongling Yuanhao made a big fuss before, she was severely scolded by Xiahou Chunyan.
Therefore, in front of Xiahou Chunyan, even if Dongling Yuanhao offended her, she could only dare to be angry and dare not say anything.
Xiahou Chunyan noticed that Dongling Yuanhao and Xiahou Yiyun were secretly competing with each other, but he just thought they were having a child's temper and didn't pay much attention to it.
However, he didn't know what was behind Dongling Yuanhao's sudden visit, so he asked directly:
"Prince Hao is here to visit today, but what is the important matter?"
When Dongling Yuanhao heard this, he put away his smile and said seriously:
"The day before yesterday, I had a misunderstanding with King Xiaoyun. It not only disturbed the prince's peace, but also wronged King Xiaoyun. My royal brother scolded me and asked me to think about my mistakes. After thinking about it, I felt that I was indeed at fault.
So I immediately came to apologize to Prince Xiahou and King Xiaoyun."
"cut……!"
King Xiaoyun's eyes were full of suspicion, and Dongling Yuanhao seemed unable to accept her disdain. He continued to say directly to Xiahou Chunyan without caring:
"Prince Xiahou, actually the main reason I came here today is to get your permission. I want to ask King Xiaoyun to help confirm something, so I may need King Xiaoyun to go out with me."
When King Xiaoyun heard this, her handsome face elongated and he was about to refuse, but Xiahou Chunyan gave her a warning look, so she could only keep her mouth flat and not dare to make any mistakes.
When Xiahou Chunyan saw that she was honest, he looked at Dongling Yuanhao and said:
"As far as I know, the misunderstanding between you two means that my willful and ignorant emperor...the emperor's younger brother is also at fault. Therefore, I accept Prince Hao's apology on behalf of Yiyun, and I also ask Prince Hao to accept Yiyun's apology.
We no longer owe each other."
Xiahou Chunyan said, then looked at Xiahou Yiyun and half-ordered:
"Yiyun, apologize!"
"Why should I apologize to him? I don't!"
Xia Houyiyun snorted stubbornly and asked her to apologize to Dongling Yuanhao, but she refused to do so. Her imperial brother had no idea what kind of harm she had suffered!
"How shameless, don't you listen to what the emperor says?"
Xiahou Chunyan raised his voice seriously. He usually doted on Xiahou Yiyun, so he rarely said harsh words to Xiahou Yiyun, and often even condoned Xiahou Yiyun's lawlessness.
Xia Hou Yiyun was stunned because of his serious tone. She looked at her unconvinced face and wanted to refute something willfully, but when she saw Xia Hou Chunyan's eyes that were different from those in the past, she felt scared and aggrieved.
However, no matter how aggrieved she was, no matter how reluctant she was, she finally said reluctantly and forcefully to Dongling Yuanhao:
"I apologize, that's enough!"
Dongling Yuanhao raised the corners of his lips, raised his eyebrows again, and said, "My lord has a lot":
"Okay, anything is fine... Then let's just laugh it off and forget about the past, let's not talk about the old things from now on, and make friends and call ourselves brothers, how about that?"
Dongling Yuanhao stretched out a big "friendly" hand in front of Xiahou Yiyun to express friendship. But Xiahou Yiyun's big eyes narrowed slightly. She wanted to ignore Dongling Yuanhao's extended hand, but her mind turned.
He turned around and held Dongling Yuanhao's hand generously, smiling brightly and saying:
"Thanks to Prince Hao for not disapproving of me, of course I am willing to make you my brother."
Brother? It would be nice if she didn’t hate Dongling Yuanhao to death. She was still a brother with him, and she didn’t get struck by lightning on the head!
His heart was burning, but Xia Houyiyun could only smile and endure the unhappiness in his stomach secretly.
Dongling Yuanhao, who noticed her duplicity, also smiled and said with a smile:
"Okay! Please speak quickly. I, Dongling Yuanhao, will treat you as my younger brother from now on. I will take good care of you!"
Care? Wait until he finds out everything. If this little guy is really unforgivable, let’s see how he takes out the account book and makes a clear calculation with Xia Houyiyun!
Not only did they themselves know that Xiahou Yiyun and Dongling Yuanhao were at odds with each other, but Xiahou Chunyan also saw something fishy.
However, Xiahou Chunyan pretended not to know that they were still competing. He turned a blind eye and let them make trouble on their own. Maybe, by making trouble, bad things can turn into good things!
After that, Dongling Yuanhao half-forced Xiahou Yiyun out with Xiahou Chunyan's permission, and he didn't know whether they would cause good or bad things!
