Adore Trick of Beauty

After leaving the Lai Yi Palace, Nie Wushuang gave up and walked back slowly, with Xia Lan supporting her. Nie Wushuang suddenly asked: Did Concubine Shu do anything when I was not in the palace? Is the Queen unhappy?

Xia Lan shook her head, and Ming Qiu thought for a while: How about I go and inquire quietly?

Nie Wushuang nodded and brushed his slender jade fingers over the lush roadside vegetation: Let's find out what the second prince is going to do for his 100-day banquet. It's not without reason that he made the empress unhappy for nothing. It's all.

Mingqiu accepted the order and quietly retreated. Seeing Nie Wushuang's deep frown, Xia Lan asked doubtfully, What are you worried about? If there is really a rift between the Queen and Concubine Shu, wouldn't the Queen just have to be optimistic about her success?

Nie Wushuang raised his eyebrows and half-smiled: Is that such an easy thing? Now the Queen and Concubine Shu have begun to fight openly and secretly, and the fish in the pond are affected. If you want to know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, you must know yourself and the enemy.

Xia Lan was confused and could only shut her mouth and help her back to the Yonghua Palace.

As soon as they arrived at the Yonghua Palace and took a breath, a chamberlain came outside to report: Your Majesty, the 'Xinyi Palace' has sent someone to deliver an invitation. It is the 100-day banquet that the Imperial Concubine will host for the second prince in three days.

Oh? Nie Wushuang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: It's so quick. Please.

After a while, an old nanny who looked very dignified and behaved came in, followed by several palace maids. She stepped forward to pay homage to Nie Wushuang in a formal manner, and said with a smile: Wish you good luck, good concubine, my concubine, my concubine has said that in three days, a hundred-day banquet will be held for the second prince, and I will ask the emperor to give him his name. That’s why I got a little more serious and asked the empress to honor me and be present. Feng.”

After she finished speaking, she presented a gold-gilded red post. Nie Wushuang took it and took a look. The words on the post were all written with gold powder and fragrant ink. They were carefully sealed with red silk. It felt particularly heavy in his hand.

It's so solemn in just one post, and it's just a little bit solemn? Nie Wushuang smiled inwardly, raised his head and asked, I wonder who else Sister Shu Fei has invited?

The old nanny said: On the left and right are some clan members and their family members. Your Majesty must come.

Nie Wushuang pursed his lips and smiled: Of course I will go. Besides, doesn't the second prince have some connection with me?

The old mama looked embarrassed. Nie Wushuang said this, naturally reminding the second prince that his biological mother was Ya Chongrong, and that Nie Wushuang personally delivered the baby. If Concubine Shu hadn't snatched him away, the second prince should have been Nie Wushuang. of.

She laughed dryly: That's natural. My mother-in-law also said that if she doesn't give up, let the second prince recognize her as his godmother, and it will be an even better kiss.

Nie Wushuang said lightly: This can't be done. Originally, I am the concubine of the second prince. If I recognize a godmother, wouldn't it be a step further? No, no, no.

The old mama turned around quickly, pursed her lips and said with a smile: What the Concubine Xian said is absolutely true. My mother-in-law just wants to have fun and gain good luck. I hope the second prince will grow up safely and quickly. This godmother is all my mother-in-law's. Imaginary.

Nie Wushuang watched her justifying her explanation over there, and she meant something. He just smiled and sipped the tea, waiting calmly for the mama to finish, and then said: Okay, tell Sister Shu Fei, what will happen in the next three days? I will naturally go to the Japanese banquet.'

What about Lady Yachongrong? The old woman suddenly asked, I wonder if Lady Yachongrong will go?

Of course she will go. Nie Wushuang lowered his eyes and avoided the old grandma's guessing eyes: She has nothing to do, so she can just join in the fun.

The old grandma showed disappointment in her eyes and spoke for a while before retreating.

Nie Wu held the gilded post in both hands and thought about it carefully. After a while, Ya Chongrong was taking the third prince Feng'er out to bask in the sun. Seeing Nie Wushuang sitting there, he came forward to greet her and said, Your Majesty is back? Why don't you go for a walk? The sun outside is nice.

Nie Wushuang hesitated for a while and handed the post to her: Concubine Shu will organize a hundred days for the second prince in three days. If you have anything, send it to her at this time. She will not brush you off in front of many people. face.

Yachongrong was shocked, handed the third prince to the wet nurse, and then slowly sat down. She smiled bitterly and said, I'm afraid that Concubine Shu doesn't want me to go. If I go, it will only make her unhappy, so why bother.

Nie Wushuang sneered: You are the second prince's biological mother. What are you afraid of her doing? If you don't go today, she will think you are cowardly, and it will be impossible for you to see your son in the future. While I am still here, I If she gains power and supports you, she will also give you three points of face. So you must go to this hundred-day banquet.

Ya Chongrong raised his head, with tears in his eyes and a slightly dazed expression: It turns out it's been a hundred days...

Nie Wushuang saw that she was in a daze, and shook her hand to comfort her: Don't worry, Concubine Shu values ​​the second prince very much. This is her lifeblood and a bargaining chip for her and the queen. She will not take care of the second prince in her hands. OK.

This concubine knows...but... Tears rolled down Yachongrong's eyes and he turned his head hastily: I have retreated.

Nie Wushuang looked at her hurried back and sighed inwardly. At this moment, Mingqiu came back. She approached Nie Wushuang and said, Your Majesty, I have heard about this. During the month when we were away from the palace, Concubine Shu often did not pay her respects to the Empress as an excuse to take care of the second prince. There were many rainy days in spring, so some of the concubines imitated her. She still seems to have been secretly attracted by her, and she did not go to the 'Lai Yi Palace' to pay her respects on the pretext of difficulty in walking because of the rain or because she had a headache. Although the queen did not say it on her face, she must be extremely unhappy in her heart.

Nie Wushuang listened quietly, slowly turned the huge ruby ​​ring on his jade finger, and raised his eyebrows slightly: This

So, Concubine Shu has stopped catering to the Queen?

No wonder when the queen saw her coming to pay her respects, she would secretly criticize several other concubines with her secret words.

Is there anything else? Nie Wushuang asked again.

Also, Concubine Shu said that the 100-day banquet was going to be named by the emperor himself. Therefore, it should be held in a lively and grand manner. The queen said that since the war on the border is fierce now, all expenses in the palace should be frugal. Concubine Shu said, since The palace's expenses are not enough, so she has to use her own body to make up for it. Naturally, she will not embarrass the Queen.

The Queen didn't say anything at the time, but it was rumored in Lai Yi Palace that the Queen was very angry behind closed doors. I don't know if it's true or not.

When Nie Wushuang heard this, a sneer overflowed from his red lips. Sure enough, the two of them had a quarrel and couldn't talk to each other. Instead, they became more and more suspicious of each other. Concubine Shu probably also felt that it was too difficult to fight against the queen by herself, so she tried to ask the old lady who sent the post to say something about becoming a godmother. This is obviously to win her over.

But she forgot that the second prince was snatched from her Nie Wu hands. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to say so?

Concubine Shu was really anxious...

Nie Wushuang listened to what Ming Qiu asked and asked her again in detail before letting her go.

Yang Zhi went to do business outside the palace. Nie Wushuang waited for him to come back and then summoned him into the inner palace. As soon as he came in, Nie Wushuang asked: What is the situation in the palace now? Has Eunuch Yang heard anything about it?

Yang Zhi smiled: It's just some things about the Queen and Concubine Shu, but I also found out a very secret news today.

Oh? What is it? Nie Wushuang asked quickly: Let's talk about it.

Yang Zhi looked around and saw no one around him. He dipped his tea in cold tea and wrote a few words on the table. Nie Wushuang looked at it and his face changed slightly: How unreasonable? If the emperor knew about it, wouldn't he be greatly angry?

Yang Zhi wiped off the writing with his sleeves and sighed: Now our Yingguo and Qinguo are at war, and many military children from Concubine Shu's family have also gone to the battlefield. If the class teacher returns to the court, there will be a lot of rewards and rewards. At that time, Concubine Shu was probably more powerful, so it was normal for the Queen to be worried. Now the eldest prince is six years old...

Nie Wushuang waved his hand to interrupt him: Don't mention this kind of thing easily in the palace. It seems that the Queen is about to take action. Let's wait and see what happens.

Yang Zhi shook his head: Now the emperor only favors the empress in the harem. If the empress wants to succeed, there must be people in the court and the harem who can speak in front of the emperor. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the empress to stay out of the matter.

When Nie Wushuang heard this, he frowned and thought undecided: What should we do? If normal things are better, we can at most be careless. But this fact is...

Yang Zhi glanced at her: For this plan, we can only see what the emperor thinks. No matter how powerful the queen is, she can't be as powerful as the emperor.

Nie Wushuang fell silent immediately. As for speculating on the holy will, she thought she knew Xiao Fengming very well, but on this matter, she really didn't understand what he was thinking. The depth of his city was simply unpredictable. There are no clues.

Don't worry, Madam. It's just some rumors now. Madam, don't worry too much. Yang Zhi comforted.

Nie Wushuang held his forehead and half-closed his eyes tiredly: I understand. Please step back.

Seeing that she was tired, Yang Zhi quietly retreated and ordered the maid to go into the inner hall to serve her.

…

Three days later, it was the second prince's 100th day. Nie Wushuang dressed up early in the morning and went to the Xinyi Palace with Ya Chongrong with gifts. When they arrived at the Xinyi Palace, they were shocked to realize that Concubine Shu had not just invited some family members of the clan, but only the sects who came and went. The dear old princess, as well as the noble lady, all came early with gifts. At the palace gate, a few clever chamberlains were set up to welcome the distinguished guests into the palace.

As soon as Nie Wushuang and Ya Chongrong arrived at the palace gate, a sharp-eyed servant guarding the gate stepped forward to greet them.

Yachongrong had not seen his son for a long time. With an anxious look on his face, he quickly approached the newly decorated hall. Concubine Shu is wearing a bright red eight-piece palace dress. The skirt of the palace dress is finely embroidered with various flowers with gold and silver threads. On the chest, there is also a lifelike peony, the king of flowers, with blooming flowers, branches and leaves embroidered on it. The vines stretched out and clung to her slim figure, making her look even more charming and graceful.

In her arms was the chubby and cute second prince. The lanugo hair on his head had not yet been shaved off, and was black and thin. He looked particularly smart against his big dark eyes. He was wearing brocade clothes embroidered with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns embroidered with gold threads. He also wore a gold longevity lock on his chest and a collar carved from mutton-fat jade. His hands and feet were covered with gold bracelets and gold anklets. Cute but with an indescribable nobility.

Ya Chongrong only glanced at it, then stepped forward and took a few steps. Concubine Shu held the second prince in her arms. Although she was smiling, her smile froze slightly when she saw Ya Chongrong's face. Ya Chongrong couldn't help but flinch slightly when he met her gaze, and stopped walking forward.

Nie Wushuang stepped forward to hold her hand and said with a smile, Sister Shu Fei is very happy today.

Yachongrong stepped forward and bowed silently, then stood aside, but his eyes never left the second prince.

Concubine Shu pretended not to see Ya Chongrong's earnest eyes and stood up with a smile: Sister Xian Concubine is here. It's just right. The emperor and the queen haven't come yet. You came so early.

Nie Wushuang stepped forward, touched the second prince's hand, and said with a smile: This is Shu Fei's sister's happy day, and it is also the second prince's happy day. Why didn't I come over earlier? I haven't seen the second prince in a few days. I am also thinking very hard, can you please let me

Hug me?

Before Concubine Shu could say anything, Nie Wushuang had already reached out and hugged her. She hugged her for a while, then turned her hand and handed it to Ya Chongrong: Sister Ya, please give me a hug too. My hands are so tight.

The smile on Concubine Shu's face froze. Seeing De Yachong holding the second prince in her arms with excitement on her face, she felt unhappy in her heart. However, she could not get angry at this scene, so she could only change her smile and said: Xian I'm afraid my sister has never hugged the third prince, and you can tell by the strength of her hands. Unlike me, I was very unaccustomed to it at the beginning, but who told me that it hurts my heart, I gritted my teeth, and my hand strength was only It’s been practiced.”

Hearing this, Ya Chongrong whispered: I am very grateful to Concubine Shu for taking care of the second prince.

Nie Wushuang secretly sneered in his heart, watching Concubine Shu triumphantly take the second prince from Ya Chongrong's hands, holding him in her arms like a treasure, and said with a smile: Isn't that right? But the old man said it well, this boy must be rough. Don’t raise it. People say that you can just name a cat or a dog casually. I have always been in poor health, so I am even more tired. Fortunately, I still have sister Ya to help.

Concubine Shu's face darkened: The royal family is naturally different from ordinary people's families. What Sister Xian Concubine said is wrong.
