play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

After Fang Qing left, Wang Cong came over and called "Father" to the person sitting in front of the desk, and then asked: "Father, Fang Qing left. He went to Dingguo Gong's Mansion to see Qin Qin. Sichuan, does father see any clues here?"

Wang Sheng said solemnly: "Fang Qing, who is in charge of the Ministry of War, has always been cautious. Furthermore, there are some differences between the Ministry of War and the other five departments. After all, Fang Qing came from the command of Duke Dingguo. This time Qinchuan returned. Reporting on work in Beijing, if someone is in Beijing and invited to reminisce about old times, he should definitely go."

Wang Cong thought, "Father, so there is no problem with Fang Qing?"

Wang Sheng: "On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but we still have to be careful. The situation of the six departments is no longer what it was at the beginning. On the surface, I am still in charge of the six departments, but the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households are completely different. It can be said that it is out of my control, and Lin Ming, who is in charge of the staff department, also has some careful thoughts."

Wang Cong saw the worry on his father's face, "Father, this..."

Wang Sheng didn't wait for his son to say anything, and said directly: "Things have not reached an uncontrollable point, so don't mess up the situation yourself."

Wang Cong: "Yes, father."

Wang Sheng: "What's going on with your sister in the palace?"

Wang Cong: "Everything is fine, and my sister also disrupted Concubine Lan's original plan. Everything in the harem is under my control. My sister sent a message to reassure my father."

Wang Sheng nodded.

Ever since something happened to the Su family, Concubine Hui suffered disaster in the harem. The Zheng family wanted to help Concubine Lan take a further step in the harem, which was simply wishful thinking.

Wang Cong said slowly from the side: "By the way, father, my sister's intention is also to find a suitable person to fill the vacancy in the concubine position, so that my sister's position in the harem can be better consolidated. "

Wang Sheng said: "I will polish this matter. The emperor has already drafted a draft before. At this time, it is not easy to recommend new people to the palace." Thinking of this, Wang Sheng couldn't help but feel angry. He had previously sent Yang The family's daughter was sent to the harem. The original plan was very good, but she gave birth to such a stupid person. If she was not good, she would also bring trouble to the entire Yang family.

Wang Cong: "Father, what should we do now?"

Wang Sheng: "It is not appropriate to send new people into the palace for the time being. The best way is not to allow people from Concubine Lan's side to get the chance. Wait until the right time to recommend new people to the palace to consolidate your sister's power in the harem."

Wang Cong: "Father, then I will pass this message into the palace and tell my sister over there."

Wang Sheng: "Well, let's do it."

For a moment, Wang Cong retreated from the study.

Wang Sheng sat alone in front of the table, pondering in his mind. It was clear that everything was calm now, without any disturbance, but he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if the current calm was a precursor to turmoil.

Whether it was Lin Ming's level or Fang Qing today.

It didn't seem like it was under his control like it was at the beginning, but instead there was a sense of alienation.

His control over these people is only a fragile thread, and they may break away at any time and no longer be under his control.

……

Here, in the old residence of Duke Dingguo in Beijing

It's lunch time now.

Qin Shu sat at the dining table with her eldest brother.

Qin Chuan looked at Qin Shu and said with a smile: "Little sister, since we are the only brothers and sisters here, there is no need to adhere to those rules and etiquette. Just do whatever you want."

Qin Shu responded with a smile and said: "What eldest brother said, I don't care about the details in front of eldest brother. If we are together as a family, how can we look like a family?"

Qin Chuan nodded in response, "Well, my little sister is right, I shouldn't have said these words. Come, let's eat first."

Qin Shu: "Okay."

When the two of them were eating, it didn't seem like there were any outsiders present, especially unlike in the palace, when they were dining with the Queen Mother, the rule of "eating without speaking" was taken to the extreme.

At this moment, they were eating and chatting very freely.

Qin Chuan: "Just now, the servants outside said that after Fang Qing left, he was stopped by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion on his way back, and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. My little sister is really good at predicting events. Extremely accurate.”

Qin Shu: "It's just a fact. What kind of information is this? However, considering the time Fang Qing went in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for long before leaving. It seems that Fang Qing has to deal with his current boss. , still very good at it.”

Qin Chuan: "I have basically completed what the emperor has assigned me. As for the subsequent control, the emperor needs to do it himself. At least, test Fang Qing from me. He is an understanding person."

Qin Shu: "If the eldest brother comes forward, he will definitely be able to handle everything very well. Fang Qing is a smart man. He can understand what the eldest brother has said to him and what he has said to him. With such guidance, he can understand everything."

Qin Chuan: "Little sister——"

Qin Shu heard her eldest brother suddenly calling her so seriously, and then she met his eldest brother's gaze. Even if she didn't say anything, the meaning revealed in his eyes was really there.

"Brother, there is no need to worry about me here, I am fine." Qin Shu said with a smile on his face: "Brother, let's do this, put aside my level, the loyalty of Dingguo Duke's mansion to the emperors of Tianyang will be as long as it is Whatever the emperor wants to do, Duke Dingguo will support it, brother, are you right?"

Qin Chuan: "Yes, the loyalty of Duke Dingguo will never change, but the younger sister becomes the imperial concubine. We know that the emperor has unique thoughts about the younger sister, but..."

Qin Shu: "Brother, let's wait until the future to talk about the future. I came out of the palace today just because my eldest brother was alone in the capital. I wanted to come and have a home-cooked meal with him. Only you and me, brother and sister, are here, so we can feel free. Yes, don’t think about unnecessary things.”

Qin Chuan: "Well, let's not talk about that. If I had known that you would come today, little sister, I should have let Fang Qing change the time. After all, as long as he comes and talks about those things, then it will be inevitable It's going to be involved, no matter how much you think about it and don't say more, the thing is just there."

Qin Shu: "Then, eldest brother, just treat it as a common thing. It has been taken care of, so there is no need to mention it. In a few days, the second brother and the third brother will also arrive in the capital. By then, we will The brothers and sisters are finally reunited. I really look forward to waiting until everything is settled, when my father and mother can return to Beijing. At that time, our family will be truly reunited."

Qin Chuan stared at the person in front of him. Their little sister used to want the most to live a free life. The emperor was very good. The little sister entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. Nowadays, things have changed a lot.

I just hope that the emperor will treat their little sister well in this life.
