[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

The next day, Chen Changzai did not return to Changchun Palace.

A team of people came from the House of Internal Affairs, surrounded the Changchun Palace, and searched the East Hall carefully.

Wei Rong lives in the west side hall, and he can't live in peace.Yufu and Yulian were even more frightened.

The search lasted a full day before it was over.

Afterwards, the palace strangely returned to calm.

There is no impenetrable wall in this palace. A few days later, Wei Rong learned the truth about what happened that night from Song Qinger and the palace staff's secretive narration.

That night, Chen Changzai was flipped because of the sign.Did not attend the banquet, went to the apse to prepare.

She waited too late, and Kangxi didn't come, so she rested temporarily on the small bed in the side hall. Not long after she fell asleep, suddenly a lunatic broke in, hugged her and wanted to do something wrong.

That lunatic is none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

The prince seemed to be drunk, and he was pestering Chen Chang endlessly, and was seen by several palace people, who yelled out, and the scandal could no longer be covered up.

Wei Rong was dumbfounded when he heard it.

This thing is too appalling,

She didn't believe that the prince would be such a frivolous person. Even if he was obsessed with beauty, there were many beauties in his back house. Why did he have to attack Chen Changzai? She hooked up and became adulterous, so there was no need to be so impatient to molested her in her father's palace.

The prince has been tricked!What kind of strong drug was probably taken?Then he was led into the bedroom.

Or is it Chen Changzai who plotted against him?

A thought flashed across Wei Rong, remembering what Chen Chang said with a wry smile when he used himself to compete for favor, I'm different from you, I can't help myself.

Reminiscent of her intention to paint her face black, not wanting to compete for favor.But after returning from the summer palace, he abruptly took refuge with Xi Concubine and stepped into this quagmire.

Although Xi Concubine had a cruel side, she was generally reasonable. If Chen Changzai was extremely unwilling, she wouldn't force her head down without drinking water. After all, she could find other substitutes.

Chen Chang was Xi Concubine's pawn from the beginning!By the way, the four of them promised to be recruited to the Changchun Palace by Xi Concubine, and it makes sense that one or two of them were arranged by the Hesheli family.

But even if Xi concubine threatens, Chen Changzai should understand that colluding with the crown prince is a death penalty for the family, and he would not let others be manipulated so casually...

Thoughts were chaotic, and Wei Rong couldn't determine the inside story.

There is only one thing she can be sure of, such a sinister arrangement, probably cannot be accomplished by Xi Consort alone.

Eldest Brother or Concubine Hui is also gone!

Kangxi is a person who loves face very much, not to mention the crimes committed by the prince this time, it is unacceptable.

Is it true that the prince who was deposed only ten years later in history has to be brought forward now?Wei Rong panicked for a while, compared to the prince, she didn't want to see the elder brother, the cloudy master who was staring at him.

Does this count as an enemy?Wei Rong was full of bitterness.

After all, Xi Concubine is an ally, after careful investigation, she was the one who gave it to Eldest Brother and Concubine Hui.

It's just that she never expected Xi Concubine to be so ruthless.

The Hesheli family failed her, so she used the prince as a sacrifice to retaliate. This move is really...

Think back to the conversation between Nanny Zhou and the imperial physician that I heard that night.

When Xi Concubine was just pregnant, she was not angry with Cui Gu's death that day, and planned to go outside Xi Concubine's window at night to imitate the singing of birds as revenge.

Went to Xi Concubine's dormitory, but outside saw Mother Zhou and the imperial physician who was in charge of Xi Concubine's birth.

From their conversation, Wei Rong finally found out that Xi Concubine had a lot of love in her early years, but she never conceived. It was Hesheli's deliberate intention. She was afraid that she would not wholeheartedly plan for the prince if she had a child of her own.

So with the excuse of taking good care of her body, she was tricked into taking the medicinal diet, which was actually a contraceptive pill, and she had been using it for three or four years, until Xi Concubine fell out of favor, and the medicine was stopped.However, Concubine Xi suffered from irregular menstruation.

A few years later, in order to restore her favor, he searched for such sinister things as fairy water.

It can be said that the Hesheli family used this pawn thoroughly!

Whether Xi Concubine's child's premature death and accumulation of fetal toxin was due to the previous birth control pills, or the effect of the Immortal Water, or a combination of both, is no longer clear.

After hearing this secret by chance that night, Wei Rong knew that Concubine Xi's pregnancy would never be safe, so in order to prevent herself from getting involved, she deliberately imitated Li Jiagui's handwriting and left the letter in the Dongpian Hall.

In Li Jiagui's tone, he claimed that he had found out the secret of the health-preserving soup in the past, recorded it, and waited to make Concubine Xi look good.

Sure enough, after reading the letter paper, Xi Consort no longer targeted innocent people like them.

But she never expected that she was holding back such a big move.

Looking at the pattering spring rain outside the window.

The weather is getting warmer, but the spring in Changchun Palace seems to be getting colder and colder.

Through the hazy rain, Wei Rong looked at the Dongpian Hall.

Chen Changzai will not come back again.No matter which side she is a pawn in, whether she actively seduces or is counted into the game, she is the most tragic pawn in this game.

In just two or three years, the nobles Li Jia, Dou Changzai and Chen Changzai who used to live in Changchun Palace are gone.

Wei Rong tightened the coat she was wearing, feeling a piercing chill.

***

The news spread in the capital that the prince lost his morals after drinking and offended the emperor.

On the surface, it was still suppressed, but among the courtiers and dignitaries, secret news gradually flowed.

On the third day after the incident, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials published a report, exposing the prince's servants for accepting bribes and cheating in the imperial examination.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

The emperor was furious, and ordered the prince to be imprisoned in the East Palace, and ordered him to close his doors and think about his mistakes, but he did not abolish his position as prince.

The ruling and opposition parties quietly discussed that it should be that the imperial conquest is imminent and it is not easy to shake the foundation of the country, so the crown prince was not abolished.When Yu Jia returns, the crown prince's position is likely to be lost.

In a high-pressure atmosphere, the battle at the border is still urgently prepared.

***

The elder brother returned to the mansion, these days he can be said to be proud of his horseshoe disease.

Since the crown prince was imprisoned, the courtiers who were still hesitant to court him at first, all saw the wind and turned the rudder to work, not to mention that there were still many who took the initiative to approach him.

Why the prince was imprisoned? Although it was concealed on the surface, the truth cannot be concealed.This kind of disobedience will be punished and beheaded if it is put to the people, not to mention the future king of a country.

Although the crown prince has not been abolished now, the news from the informant in the palace should be that his Empress Ama does not want the government to be in turmoil.

Just wait until this expedition is over, Yujia returns to Beijing, and he makes new contributions. Comparing the two, which one is better, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty can see it in the eyes.

The elder brother was walking back and forth in the room, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

God help me too, God help me too!

If it weren't for the destiny, how could such help as Xi concubine come from the sky?

It was originally the most important pawn that the Hesheli family placed in the palace, but it became a fatal stab for the high and mighty Crown Prince.

He couldn't help laughing.All the brothers are mediocre, when the prince falls, who can compete with him.

When people are proud, everything goes very smoothly, including things that are arranged.

The confidant in charge rushed in and reported: "The portrait that His Highness told me to look for earlier has already been obtained."

As he spoke, he presented the scroll in his hand.

The elder brother immediately took it and opened it, revealing a slim girl. The portrait has been around for some years, but it still does not damage the girl's lively and charming charm.

She was wearing a sky blue long dress, her long black hair was braided and decorated with butterflies inlaid with red gold jewels, and she was more lively than women from the Central Plains.

The steward continued: "I got this from the caravan in the north, and it is reliable. It is said that a famous artist copied the picture that Cewang Khan kept privately..."

This painting is a portrait of Ce's dead ex-wife.

Eldest brother is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and Ce Wang is very urgent, asking him about his progress in every letter.However, the fourth brother's side is watertight.

In desperation, he thought, why not get a few beauties similar to his deceased wife as gifts, man, with new beauties, there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Seeing the portrait now, it is indeed a stunning beauty, no wonder Ce has been thinking about it for so many years.

It's just that it seems a little familiar.

Eldest brother looked at it for a long time, then suddenly slapped his head, Wei Changzai, who recently painted his mother and concubine in Yanxi Palace, really looks like this portrait, especially this pair of clear eyes.

It's a pity that she is Huang Ama's woman, it is impossible to get a palace and give it to Ce Wang...

This idea flashed by, and he suddenly thought, isn't this just a ready-made excuse?Why can't he find his ex-wife for a long time.

Originally, Buddhism in the Western Regions believed in reincarnation.

With this excuse, even the trouble of delivering the beauties is saved.

The more Big Brother thinks about it, the more he feels that this plan is feasible.

***

On this day, Wei Rong was sketching in the studio when Lingzhi, the maid in charge of Concubine Hui, came in and said with a smile: "Wei Changzai has worked hard. Our mother saw the picture that Changzai presented that day and liked it very much. Unfortunately, the peony is in full bloom." The background color still lacks three points of tolerance, and I remembered last night that I saw a peony painting in the Ruyi Pavilion, which is a masterpiece of the previous dynasty and can be used as a reference. So let the slaves take Chang Zai and go over to observe it."

Wei Rong didn't doubt that there was him, so she put down her paintbrush, washed up briefly, and went to Ruyi Hall with Ganoderma lucidum.

The Ruyi Pavilion is the headquarters of the court painters, and it is also the storage place for the paintings collected by the royal family. There are many masterpieces of famous artists in the past. Wei Rong has long wanted to visit it. Unfortunately, the Ruyi Pavilion is located at the west end of the Imperial Study Room, which is considered the category of the previous dynasty. Inside, she is always there, so she can't go there at will.

Now with Concubine Hui's warrant, it's like a pie falling from the sky.

The Ruyi Pavilion is three stories high and occupies a vast area. The stewards serving inside have already received the news and led them in respectfully.

In the second studio in the west side hall, Wei Rong saw the peony picture, it was really full of flowers and elegant.

Wei Rong took out the charcoal pencil and white paper, and prepared to briefly record the composition.

Ganoderma lucidum smiled thoughtfully and said: Chang Zai will watch first, and the servants will not bother.He also said that there are still many paintings here, and it is rare to come here often, so you might as well walk around and have a look at them at will, and learn more from the evidence, and you can make more progress.The painters in the museum are all in the back hall, so there is no need to worry about bumping into you.

This suggestion was exactly what he wanted, Wei Rong was overjoyed and thanked him, and when the draft was finished, he took Yufu to observe it.

There are dozens of houses in the building, spacious and bright.There are all kinds of ancient paintings and books collected in different categories, all of which are authentic and unique.

Looking at several rooms, Wei Rong was dazzled and couldn't take his eyes off.For example, the works of Gu Kaizhi Wu Daozi, Wang Shen Mifu and others are all collected in the Palace Museum for later generations, and some are scattered overseas, so they can only be observed with images.There are even some that were completely destroyed in the war-torn era, and now she is lucky enough to return to this era and observe the authentic works of these masters.

Just as she was engrossed in watching, Wei Rong took two steps back, suddenly exclaimed, and bumped into a person behind her.
