Chapter 70 Preparing to Study in the Palace

Concubine De was restless because of her father's affairs, and when she learned that the fourth elder brother did not plead for power as she said, she was so angry that her chest hurts, and she wished to call the fourth elder brother to her face to scold her severely.Tearing the Luopa which was embroidered with the pattern of begonia flowers in her hand, Concubine De said: "Go and call my fourth son in!"

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done." said Nanny Ren, who was sent to Concubine De by Wu Ya's family through connections, "My Majesty has already displeased the Emperor by trespassing on the Qianqing Palace before. If you are willing to reprimand the fourth elder brother for Lord Mighty's intercession, I'm afraid it will make the emperor even more angry. After all, it is the crown prince who hurt this time. I heard that even Concubine Tong has not been able to please the emperor. Madam Why bother to touch the mold?"

"The fourth child is so cold-hearted, but he has the same virtue as the former Empress Xiaoyi!" Concubine De said viciously, "When he was born, I should have strangled him directly, so as to save the debt collection now! "

Nanny Ren was not easy to answer, but her heart was chilled by Concubine De's viciousness.Others say that Concubine De's long favor is because of her beautiful appearance and gentle temperament, but the old people around Concubine De know that if the fourth elder brother is not liked by the emperor, and Empress Xiaoyi grew up in front of the emperor before her death, how could there be any reason to mention Concubine De? Later, Concubine De was so favored.The fourth elder brother was already at a sensible age when he returned to Concubine De, and it is understandable that he was not close to Concubine De, but his master blamed all his faults on the fourth elder brother and Empress Xiaoyi. .

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, Elder Fourteen will bring Elder Brother Hong Chun to greet you later." Nanny Ren said, "The harem is not peaceful now, Your Majesty has ears carefully through the walls."

Concubine De has been able to call the wind and rain in the harem for so many years, so she naturally cultivated the ability to turn her face in an instant. She threw the silky ropa in her hand to the palace lady Iris, and she stretched out her hand to Nanny Ren: "I heard that the peonies in the imperial garden are blooming just right. Help me out for a walk." Everyone was watching her laughing, but she wanted to have a good life, so she must not let that villain laugh at her!

Because the prince's injury has improved a lot, the atmosphere in the palace is not as depressing as before.Concubine De originally thought that she was the only one in the Imperial Garden who had the interest to come out and walk around today, but she didn't want to just meet Babeile Fang Fujin who came to pay her respects to Liang Concubine.She was not the only one, even the concubine Liang who seldom stepped out of Changchun Palace was there.

To Concubine De, Concubine Liang was a moderate competitor. When Concubine Liang was born, Concubine De had the idea of ​​suppressing her, but unfortunately Concubine Liang had already made a move before she could make a move. After the silence, even his son was reported to Concubine Hui to be raised.But looking at it now, she thinks that Concubine Liang is living a better life than any other woman in the palace—Eight Prince is becoming more and more calm now, Concubine Liang's mother has been promoted to the position of concubine to take charge of the palace by virtue of her son's price, and her years of peaceful life have made her It still looks the same as before, the imperial bestowed bat pattern inlaid with glass beads and quivering golden step hairpin on the bun, making her appearance even more beautiful, if she hadn't taken the initiative to avoid favor, I'm afraid the emperor would have to share some points Thoughts went to Changchun Palace.

"Your Majesty, do you need to go another way?" Seeing that her master was stagnant, she mistakenly thought that her master was unwilling to meet Liang Concubine, so she asked aloud.

"No need." She is a concubine, and a good concubine is just a concubine, so if she wants to avoid it, it is also a good concubine to avoid it.

"Your Majesty, Empress Concubine De is walking this way." Wan Ning said to Concubine Liang with sharp eyes.

"Now Wu Ya's family is in trouble, and it's fortunate that Concubine De is still in the mood to come out to enjoy the flowers." Concubine Liang handed the broken peony flowers to Xin Yi behind her, turned around slowly, and saluted Concubine De.

"It's rare to see you out and about." Concubine De smiled lightly, as if she had a good relationship with Concubine Liang, "Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, my concubine's health has improved a lot." Concubine Liang's poor health seems to be a well-known fact in the palace, and she did not deny this statement, "I heard from the palace people below that the peonies in the imperial garden It bloomed very well, so my concubine took Mrs. Wang out to pick a few branches back, and it would look good in the house. Is the empress also out to enjoy the flowers?"

"What a coincidence, I also heard that the peony flowers in the garden are in full bloom, so I came out to take a look." Concubine De looked at the peony flowers in the basket that Xin Yi was carrying, "You still have the same temper, Peony The flowers must be bright red to look good, why do you still pick them in such a plain color?"

"I prefer this color, but I'm used to it." Concubine Liang smiled lightly.

"This is Lao Ba's side Fujin." Concubine De turned to Wanning again, "Why don't you bring the two elder brothers into the palace today? Speaking of which, I haven't seen them properly yet."

Wan Ning glanced at Concubine Liang, and then said: "Hongwang was recuperating in the mansion due to the wind and cold, and Hongxin was taken by Ba Ye to Wubeile's mansion today, so he didn't come into the palace either."

"So that's how it is. Hongchun will go to Yonghe Palace later, and I want to ask their brothers to get close to each other. Hongchun is Shisi's only son, and there are not many children of his age in the palace. After all, it's lonely." Concubine De asked Changpu to go back to get the scissors and bamboo basket, "Speaking of which, it's time for the two little elder brothers to study, and the eighth elder brother asked the emperor to tell the two little elder brothers to go to the study Learn from the master?"

"Lao Ba mentioned it to my concubine." Concubine Liang quickly cast a sideways glance at Concubine De, "It's just that the emperor just came back from the south, and he has matters to deal with with the crown prince, so he hasn't found the time to deliver the pass. But now the crown prince The injury is getting better, and I think it's time to mention it to the emperor in a few days."

Speaking of the prince's injury, Concubine De felt a little uncomfortable, secretly wondering if Concubine Liang brought it up on purpose, after all, everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the prince's injury had something to do with her Ama.It's just that Liang's concubine looks calm and calm, and Concubine De is not easy to get angry, she just vaguely passes by, but she doesn't talk about making Hongwang, Hongxin and Hongchun get closer.

When Wan Ning heard Concubine De talk about this matter, she understood that even if Yinhu had nothing to do with Elder Brother Fourteen, it still couldn't stop Concubine De from planning for her youngest son.But why doesn't Concubine De want to think about it, Yinhu originally had a better relationship with the fourth elder brother, how could it be possible to suddenly get close to the fourteenth elder brother?Wanning is not satisfied with being a concubine, and she still wants to sit on the throne of the queen mother, and she even does not hesitate to use a few children as rafts, which makes Wanning even more unhappy.

"Your Majesty," Changpu, who had gone back and forth, came back empty-handed, and said with lowered eyebrows, "Si elder brother, Si Fujin and eldest elder brother are here to greet you."

A hint of impatience flashed across Concubine De's face, although she concealed it quickly, Wanning still saw it.

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb your interest." Concubine De slightly nodded to Concubine Liang, then turned around and walked towards Yonghe Palace.

"Let's go back too." Concubine Liang said, "It's not fun after all."

Wan Ning knew what the concubine's words meant, so she said, "Your Majesty, I don't think you're going to have a good time today, so I'll give you a sign to accompany you in the palace after a few days."

"I still don't want it anymore." Concubine Liang smiled, "Many people in the palace are staring at Yinhu now, only yesterday Concubine Hui asked someone to send me some high-quality Shu brocade, and she said it was from the elder brother's family outside My filial piety. What is the relationship between me and elder brother? Do you need to send me something? After thinking about it, it’s not that someone wants to take advantage of the prince’s injury to buy people’s hearts. After you go back, talk to Yinhu more, it’s okay Don't go out too often, so as not to be entangled and unable to escape."

"This eighth master also knows, empress, don't worry."

After accompanying Concubine Liang for a snack, Wanning returned to Baylor's residence from leaving the palace. Before she had a sip of tea, the Zhan family led Hongwang to visit outside.During this period of time, there was news from the womb that the emperor saw that the princes and grandchildren were of the right age, and wanted to select suitable ones from each mansion and send them to study in the palace.Zhan's small calculations were crackling, and she felt that although Hongwang was not in good health, he was still the eldest son of Yinhu, so he should have the possibility of entering the palace no matter what, so he also let go of his prejudice against Wanning and begged Wanning to come. .

"Is Hongwang feeling better?" Wan Ning pretended not to see Zhan's eager eyes, smiled and called Hongwang to him, and asked softly.The child was born prematurely and weak, and took medicine for eight or nine months in a year. Yinhu didn't make strict demands on him, and only hoped that his eldest son could grow up safely.

"Hongwang is much better, that's why I brought him here today to pay respects to Fang Fujin." Zhan immediately said, "Ci Fujin is entering the palace today to pay respects to the concubine. I haven't been in the palace for a long time. I don’t know how the good concubine is doing now. I heard that the empress is prone to coughing every time the seasons change, so my concubine asked someone to brew candied pears, and I would like to ask Xi Fujin to bring them to the empress when she enters the palace next time.”

"After all, you are thoughtful." Wan Ning took a sip of tea, "My lady must be happy to know that you have such filial piety. Today, my lady also mentioned Hongwang and said that she hadn't seen him for a long time. You go back and tell Hongwang this Clean up your homework for a while, and next time I will take it into the palace so that the empress can have a look."

"Yes." Mrs. Zhan was naturally delighted. Although Hongwang was the eldest son of the eighth master, he seldom entered the palace because of his frequent illness, so he was not very popular with the concubine Liang. "It's a pity that my status is not high, so I can't take Hongwang to greet my mother. But I heard that the emperor intends to let the emperor's grandchildren study in the palace. I don't know if this news is true?"

Wan Ning raised her eyes, glanced at Zhan Shi with a half-smile, and called the wet nurse to take Hong Wang down for some snacks.

Zhan was a little apprehensive, and looked at Wan Ning timidly.

"I've heard about this too, but in the end it's still up to Ba Ye to decide." Wan Ning said, "I heard that these days you always make him stay up late to practice calligraphy, why don't you think that he is not in good health yet? You are not afraid that Hongwang will burn out."

Zhan's face was a little embarrassing. She always heard people say that although Hongxin was young, she had excellent homework. Compared with the two, she felt that Hongwang could not lose. She pinned it all on her son, and felt that Wanning might have deliberately told Yinhu to ask Hongwang to slow down the progress of his studies, and that's why he got such a muddled thought.

"The concubine knew she was wrong."

"It's not a question of whether you know your mistakes or not. Hongwang is the child of the eighth master. When he got sick, the eighth master didn't personally take care of the medicine. Hongwang is weak and should take good care of him. If he is exhausted, it is not you who feel distressed." Myself." Wanning didn't know Zhan's careful thinking, she was just worried that Hongwang would fall behind Hongxin in her homework, so she couldn't win for her.

Zhan nodded casually, but muttered in her heart, Baylor's mansion is rich and powerful, but there is no good medicine. Hongwang's body has been much better after conditioning over the years, how could it be so easy to suffer? Obviously, he did not put Wanning's words into consideration on heart.

Seeing this, Wan Ning didn't try to persuade her too much, she and Zhan Shisu said that she would not go together, and talking too much was useless, and there was no need to put a hot face on someone's cold ass.
