Queen? faint? Yunshang raised her eyes, looked at Qianyin, and saw that there was a bit of anger hidden in her eyes, Yunshang hooked the corners of her mouth, looked down at the teacup in her hand, "She has learned to be smart."
Fainting is just a disguised show of weakness. In the eyes of many people, the empress is probably stable and dignified, and she even has no emotions. For so many years, Li Yiran has always played this role very well. Even if he knew that he would never be able to give birth to a child, he just lost his composure for a while. Queen.
It was precisely because of this that the queen's sudden fainting was even more unprepared.
Concubine Ming had just angered Emperor Ning, Hua Jing was still recuperating, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was also a little bit unwell, at this moment, the Empress suddenly passed out.
Yun Chang hooked the corners of her lips, "Let's go, let's go to Qiwu Palace and have a look."
When they arrived at Qiwu Palace, there were already many people standing in the Queen's bedroom, Emperor Ning, Concubine Ming, Li Fuyi, Concubine Ya, Qin Meng, and a few concubines who were not very familiar.
The imperial doctor was sorting out the pulse case at the side, Ming Dowager had a little anxiety on her face, "What's the matter with the queen?"
The imperial doctor hurriedly saluted, "The empress is just worrying too much and hurting her body. I'm afraid it will take about an hour to wake up, but the empress's health is not very good, so I'm afraid it will hurt the root. After waking up, the empress has to rest in peace, if she thinks about it again, I'm afraid..." The imperial physician shook her head, Ming Dowager naturally understood what the imperial physician meant, she frowned, and did not speak for a long while.
Emperor Ning's eyes fell on the pale queen on the bed, his eyes seemed to be dotted with ink, but he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he turned around and looked at the concubines in the room, "Since the imperial doctor said that the queen needs You don't have to wait here anymore, you all go down."
Everyone looked at each other, then nodded and retreated.
Yun Shang didn't follow along, but said softly, "The queen mother also needs someone to take care of her here, and the emperor is busy with government affairs, so let's leave it to Shang'er."
Emperor Ning's eyes paused for a moment, then fell lightly on Yunshang, and was about to speak when he heard Concubine Ming's voice, "Shang'er is a princess, how can she take care of anyone, Ai's family will look for it later As long as a few experienced nuns come over, you young people, just go about your own business."
Yun Chang was silent for a moment, and then responded in a low voice. There seemed to be a bit of grievance in her eyes. Seeing Ming Dowager's heart skipping a beat, what does this Yun Chang mean? Could it be that he wanted Emperor Ning to feel that he had abused her? What a scheming ah! Concubine Ming gritted her teeth, her heart was full of displeasure, Aijia will see how long you can pretend to be pitiful and innocent.
When Emperor Ning heard Yun Shang's voice, his gaze became a little deeper.
"Your Majesty..." Mr. Zheng stood outside the door and called softly. Although Mr. Zheng is a servant, the queen is a woman after all, and she is the most honorable woman in Ningguo, so she still has to avoid suspicion.
Emperor Ning turned his head and looked at the door, "What's the matter?"
Director Zheng was silent for a moment before he said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister sent a memorial and asked to enter the palace to visit the empress. The prime minister said that the whole family was very worried when the empress fell ill and asked the emperor to accommodate me. Just now the third prince of the Yelang Kingdom A post was also sent to ask about the Queen's condition."
Ming Dowager heard the words, and there was a touch of joy in her heart. The prime minister came forward. Besides, the envoys of the two countries are here, and it is the time when the empress needs the prime minister the most. The emperor will definitely not refute the face of the prime minister's house.
Yun Shang looked at the faint joy that flashed across Concubine Ming's eyes, and a sardonic smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth. It was a waste of Concubine Ming's so many years in the palace, but she didn't know that the thing that father hated most was Prime Minister Li. As an emperor, but under the control of others everywhere, Ming Dowager asked Prime Minister Li to hand over the memorial, which is really extremely stupid.
Yun Chang turned her gaze and landed on the queen. The queen worked extra hard to perform this play well. When she saw the queen's appearance, she knew that it must be due to an external cold. She didn't know how much water she poured on her body yesterday. Want to win sympathy and keep her queen position
Yun Chang smiled lightly, the queen might not know, although the father doesn't like the twists and turns of the harem, how can a man who has stayed on the throne for more than 20 years be easy to deceive, I'm afraid Now, the father's boredom towards the queen has increased a lot.
Emperor Ning turned his head and looked at the queen whose eyelashes were trembling slightly. A sneer appeared in his heart, and he raised his voice and said to the people outside the door, "I went back to Prime Minister Li, and said that the empress is too worried and needs to rest. I don't want it for the time being." I have visited, and when the Empress is better, I will invite the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife to enter the palace. However, the Empress must be missing Princess Huajing, go and take Princess Huajing back to the palace. As for the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, I will go back The third prince is gone, the empress is fine, please don't worry about the third prince."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yunshang's mouth, and she knew that her father hated being coerced the most.
The smile on the corner of Concubine Ming's mouth at the side froze before she could take it back. It took a long time to hear Concubine Ming say, "The prime minister is also the queen's father after all, and he must be very concerned about the queen. If the prime minister doesn't find the queen, I'm afraid it will be very worrying."
Emperor Ning smiled coldly, worried? Do the Li family really think they are fools? The queen just fell ill, and even the imperial doctor in the palace had just finished his pulse diagnosis, and the people in the prime minister's mansion already knew about it. Isn't this telling him that the prime minister's mansion has put eyeliner in the palace
"Since the imperial doctor said that the queen is overthinking, I think it is because of the many affairs in the middle palace. Although the concubine mother is taking care of it these days, it is just that the concubine mother is too old to help me take care of the harem all the time. But the empress can't work anymore. In this case, the affairs of the palace will be taken care of by Yabi for the time being. Although Yabi is young and hasn't been in the palace for a long time, fortunately she is careful and cautious, and there are If you have a bit of Zhuangyuan Lang's cleverness, let her hone it first, and the concubine mother will help you, and with the concubine mother in charge, nothing will go wrong."
If Concubine Caiming was just a little unhappy, then her face is very gloomy now, she talked about the power of the harem, she never thought that Emperor Ning said that he wronged Yun Chang, but she did not take back her right to host the Central Palace, but now she does not know why Emperor Ning made such a decision.
Yun Chang's heart was very happy, as the saying goes, if you steal a chicken, you won't lose a handful of rice, that's the way it is.
"My concubine has always been very fair in handling things, and she is a model of the harem. I would like to ask my concubine to help me deal with another very difficult matter." Emperor Ning frowned, as if he was very distressed.
Concubine Ming frowned, and looked at Emperor Ning, "What does the Emperor want Aijia to do?"
Emperor Ning smiled slightly and said, "My concubine must have heard about Jing'er. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. There were not a few people I saw in the hunting ground that day, and I can't silence them one by one. Fan took Hua Jing to the palace after some considerations. The palace is heavily guarded and will be much safer. Now that Jing’er is alone in the princess mansion, I am a little worried. When Jing’er returns to the palace, I still hope that the concubine will teach her She is some things that women should learn. In the past, she only cared about letting Jinger know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and become a talented woman. Whether a talented woman will succeed or not, I don’t know, but I do know. Yes, she certainly won't."
Yun Shang slightly raised her eyebrows. Father should know about Hua Jing and Cang Jue Qingsu, and he must also know about Cang Jue Qingsu's private meeting with Hua Jing almost every night in the imperial city. , That's why he found an excuse to bring Hua Jing into the palace. On the surface, it was to protect her safety. In fact, he wanted to cut off her connection with Cang Jue Qingsu.
No matter how humble and courteous Cang Jue Qingsu is in the imperial city of Ning Kingdom, his soldiers from Yelang Kingdom are still staring at the corner of the northwest. If Cangjue Qingsu hooked up with Prime Minister Li through Huajing, it would be difficult to deal with.
After Emperor Ning gave these instructions, he said to Li Yiran, "Take a good rest." Then he left Qiwu Palace.
Tsk tsk, Concubine Ming, Concubine Ming, Empress, Empress, you all calculate and calculate every day, but when you calculate that there will be such a day, Yun Chang feels happy in her heart, so she returns to Qingxin Hall with a smile on her face.
"Concubine Ya is in charge of the harem, and she and the princess are very good." Qianyin's brows and eyes were full of joy, and she said with a smile, "I'm afraid the empress is going to vomit to death now, haha, what's wrong is to pretend to be sick, I Just now seeing that she is clearly not fainting and her eyelashes are moving all the time, I must be extremely angry, but she dare not speak, it is really a joy."
Yun Chang nodded with a smile, and naturally felt happy in her heart. Seeing the two of them coming back, Qin Yi handed over a post with a smile on her face and said, "Princess, it will be Prince Jing's birthday in three days. The post has already been sent to the palace, should the princess think about what birthday gift to give to the prince?"
"Huh?" Yun Shang was stunned, not because he had forgotten King Jing's birthday, but because he felt that King Jing's current situation would require a birthday banquet
Yun Shang took the post from Qin Yi's hand and opened it, but it was in King Jing's handwriting. After pondering for a moment, Yun Shang roughly understood King Jing's plan. King Jing wanted to lure you into the urn.
Although he knew Prince Jing's plan in his heart, he was a little worried. The person who could hurt Prince Jing like that must not be an ordinary person, and what about the injuries on his body
"Princess, don't worry. The last time it was just because Prince Jing was not prepared. This time, since Prince Jing sent a message to do it, it means that he is fully prepared." Qianyin said with a smile.
Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that she had unintentionally spoken out what was in her mind.
Seeing Qianyin and Qinyi looking at her with a bit of playfulness in their eyes, Yun Chang couldn't help but blushed slightly, picked up the book at hand and threw it towards the two girls.
Qian Yin hurriedly pulled Qin Yi aside, and said with a smile, "Princess, is this going to kill someone?"
Yun Shang had nothing to do with them, so she could only stare at them, seeing that they didn't care at all, she turned her head and ignored them.
Qian Yin smiled again, walked forward and said, "It's just that the princess has to be careful, the servant is afraid that those people will not be able to deal with the prince, and will instead deal with you, the princess. How do you say that, only pick soft persimmons?" …”
Yun Chang's eyebrows jumped, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Where did you see that the princess is soft? Huh?"
There was bursts of laughter in the room.
King Jing spent a lot of time at the border, but his reputation in the imperial city was definitely not bad. Moreover, this year, King Jing took the initiative to post a birthday banquet, so many people flocked to it. The gates of the palace were almost flattened, and those who asked for invitations and those who gave gifts followed one another.
Although the housekeeper of Prince Jing's mansion had never encountered such a big battle, he was chosen by Prince Jing anyway, so he was naturally not far behind, so he could barely handle it.
Fortunately, the invitations were posted very cautiously, but that's the case, on the day of the birthday banquet, Prince Jing's Mansion was also so lively for the first time in history.
There is no hostess in Prince Jing's Mansion, and the housekeeper is not very familiar with this aspect, so when Yunshang arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, the housekeeper pulled her over to ask for help. The handsome man said, "Don't tell me, it's already this hour, and you guys haven't prepared anything yet? Besides, I came over and looked all the way, and there is still not a single maid in Prince Jing's mansion. Who are you going to call to entertain those people?" Wife?"
The butler was a little uneasy, and coughed lightly, "It's the old slave who didn't think carefully, and he had never done such a thing before, and the prince ordered him in a hurry, so there was no time..."
The instigator, however, was uncommonly leisurely and at ease. He raised his head from the book and looked at Yunshang. Seeing Yunshang's complexion, he touched the tip of his nose and said indifferently, "There have never been any female relatives in Prince Jing's mansion, and if you invite a bunch of them for today Come here, I have to send it away, it's quite troublesome..."
"Why didn't you come to me earlier?" Yun Shang wanted to cry but had no tears.
Prince Jing coughed, "Forgot."
"..."
Rao was very unhappy, and Yun Shang still had to conscientiously pull Qian Yin and Qin Yi to prepare together, and even asked someone to call Ning Qian over, and Ning Qian took people to prepare for a performance for a while, and Qian Yin was in charge. Greet the female relatives, while Qin Yi is responsible for taking care of the guests' food and drink. Yun Shang was also a housekeeper in her previous life, so she is no stranger to these things, so she arranged everything in a hurry. Although she was still very busy, it was much better than being clueless just now.
The manager looked at Yunshang's busy voice back and forth, stroked his beard and said to King Jing, "This old servant really knows today that there must be a mistress in this mansion. The prince has not been in the imperial city these years." It's all right, anyway, the border gate doesn't care about these things, but if you want to stay in the imperial city, it's necessary, and it's really unreasonable not to have a woman who can be the master of the house."
King Jing raised his eyes to look at Yunshang's back, and listened to Yunshang ordering things in an orderly manner. He was silent for a moment, and then nodded, "Well, after counting, I am twenty-eight today? It's really a bit big. gone."
The steward glanced at Prince Jing, "It's not just a little big, the same size as the prince, and the one who got married early, I'm afraid the children are going to get married soon."
Prince Jing coughed lightly, "It's just that Shang'er told Brother Huang that she won't be able to get married for two years, it's really troublesome."
The manager still wanted to say something, but when he saw Yunshang coming in, he stopped talking, and said to Yunshang with a smile, "Thanks to the princess, otherwise this old servant wouldn't know what to do."
Yunshang nodded, not being humble, but staring at King Jing, frowning slightly, "I'll help you greet the female relatives, but the ones in front, I'm afraid you have to do it yourself, your injury..." Yunshang is not Unexpectedly, Prince Jing's complexion was still a little pale.
Prince Jing smiled slightly, stood up from the soft couch, and took two steps slowly. Yun Shang pondered for a moment, but she couldn't see anything wrong, it was just...
"Look for a few more hidden guards to protect you. Don't let anyone get close to you. It seems okay if you walk slowly, but if you walk in a hurry, you may hurt your wound. I will go out first. Just be careful yourself."
Prince Jing nodded, "I know."
Yun Chang just nodded, turned around and left the yard.
The female relatives have already been led to a pavilion by the lake with a light voice. This should be the only view in the huge Prince Jing's mansion. Prince Jing is not in the imperial city all year round, and Prince Jing's mansion is also neglected. It's clean, but the scenery is almost nonexistent.
Naturally, the guests invited by Prince Jing's Mansion are not ordinary people, and many of them have attended palace banquets in the palace. Naturally, they can recognize that the maid who led them here and ordered them to serve tea and snacks is clearly the closest person to Princess Yunshang in the palace. maid of honor.
Everyone was surprised, but they didn't say it out loud, they just gathered together in twos and threes to talk.
When Yunshang arrived, they seemed to be talking about some small and big gossip in the imperial city. They were talking about the fact that many nobles in the imperial city recently competed for the number one oiran in the imperial city, Qianqian, although it was exposed some time ago An absolutely hot piece of news about Princess Huajing is just that none of those ladies and wives are human beings. On such an occasion, naturally they would not say something that is likely to cause disaster.
Yun Shang walked over with a smile, and when she saw it with a sharp eye, she quickly stood up and saluted with a smile, and said to Yun Shang, "I just saw the two aunts who came out because of us, and I thought they were people around the princess. I thought that the princess should have come earlier, but I didn’t see anyone, so I just wanted to ask, and the princess came.”
Yun Shang looked at the person who spoke, but it was the Crown Princess of Shunqing Palace.
Yun Chang smiled quickly and said, "Is the imperial concubine okay? I haven't seen you for a long time. Speaking of this, it makes Chang'er feel ashamed. There has never been a maidservant in the emperor's uncle's mansion. The emperor's uncle has been at the border before. I'm not very good at birthday banquets. I'm in the imperial city this year. If I don't have a banquet, it's a bit unreasonable. It's just that I have never done it before, so I don't know how to start. But Uncle Huang is still stubborn. Today, Chang'er came over to have a look , it’s still a mess, so I had to borrow my people to use it, I have neglected all the ladies and ladies, and I hope everyone will forgive me.”
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they had vaguely heard about the situation in Prince Jing's mansion, they did not expect that there was not even a single maidservant in this huge Prince Jing's mansion, and they all had the same feelings in their hearts, some envious and some disapproving. .
But because of the identities of King Jing and Yunshang, they didn't dare to say anything, but suddenly heard a voice, "Princess is really blessed, everyone in Ningguo, even ordinary people, three wives and four concubines are all There are many, but as honorable as Prince Jing, the mansion can't find a maidservant to serve. Prince Jing really has a deep affection for the princess, and the princess must be a virtuous and virtuous person. Well, the weeds in the royal mansion have to be deep by one person. After the princess becomes the mistress of Prince Jing's mansion, she has to clean it up... "
Yun Chang turned her head, and saw Cangyang Yu'er with a sarcastic smile on her face, looking at Yun Chang, and seeing her turn around, she did not dodge.
Everyone naturally heard something unusual, and some people had already noticed that the woman who spoke was the one who asked to marry Prince Jing at the palace banquet that day, but was rejected by Prince Jing.
After thinking about it, many people had a little bit of thought about watching the show, and looked at Cangyang Yu'er and Yun Shang. Cangyang Yu'er looks good, and I'm afraid there are many people who admire her, but they are single-minded. She wanted to marry King Jing, but was rejected by King Jing on the spot. Although Cangyang Yu'er said that Yunshang was blessed and delicate, she could hear some clues. Sarcastic Yun Shang has no tolerance for others. Seeing that there was not a single woman in Prince Jing's mansion, even the people who held the birthday banquet could not be pulled out, but they still had no intention of filling people in Prince Jing's mansion.
Yun Chang smiled slightly and said, "It's not that the princess doesn't want to pay attention to it, it's just that the emperor's eyes are higher than the top, and he doesn't want the best ones. It's time to blame Shang'er."
Cangyang Yu'er's face turned cold, Ning Yunshang, I wrote down this grudge, and was about to speak, when I heard a somewhat sharp voice, "Princess, Yan'er is late, I don't know if there is something wrong." Nothing good was missed."
Yun Chang turned her head and saw Wang Jinyan in green clothes coming over, followed by a woman with a smile on her face.
Yun Chang smiled slightly. She originally thought that red was the most suitable color for Wang Jinyan, but she didn't want to. Wang Jinyan, who was dressed in green, was a little less domineering, but a little more girly, "It's just in time, the show hasn't started singing yet .”
Wang Jinyan's eyes fell on Cangyang Yu'er beside her, her eyes turned cold, but she turned her head with a smile, "Princess, this is my mother."
Yun Chang turned her head, looked at the beautiful woman behind Wang Jinyan, and sighed secretly in her heart. I really don't know who Wang Jinyan and Wang Jinhuan are like. Wang Shangshu is a serious and self-disciplined person, and Mrs. Wang is as gentle as water at first glance. . Yun Chang smiled and said to Madam Wang, "Hi Madam Wang, Madam is so beautiful, no wonder Yan'er and Prince Wang are both very good-looking."
Who doesn't want to hear others praise their child, the smile on the face is a little bit more.
Just as they were talking, someone let out a "Hey", and everyone looked over with their eyes, and saw a woman in pink walking slowly on the promenade opposite the lake, holding a qin, although it was so far away, Everyone just felt that the figure was somewhat charming...
