The second prince knelt down at the feet of a large group of palace people.
They were all newly transferred. Although they didn't understand what happened in Yanxi Palace not long ago, they knew that it was better not to know based on years of experience and sensitivity.
The second prince asked, but the palace people who were kneeling on the ground were silent.
The second prince felt boring, so he flicked his sleeves and went out.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the palace in a sedan chair, I saw Xiao Xuan who was about to enter the palace.
Xiao Xuan was riding a horse with a smooth and bright coat, and he looked very energetic.
Xiao Xuan obviously saw the second prince, and immediately nodded towards him.
"Little prince, is this going to the palace to please the emperor's grandmother?"
Xiao Xuan said: "I haven't come to greet my grandmother for a few days. I just have a free time today, so I went to the palace to have a look."
The second prince laughed mockingly: "The little prince is busy with cockfighting and gambling every day, so he can't spare time." After speaking, he dropped the car curtain and ordered the groom to drive out of the palace.
Xiao Xuan looked at the gorgeous carriage with a meaningful smile, but in the dark black pupils, it was indistinguishable.
When he arrived at Ci Ning Palace, Concubine Xiang Xian, Rong Bi, and Liang Bi were also accompanied by the Queen Mother.
Xiao Xuan hadn't been crowned yet, and he was still a teenager. These concubines were elders, and they were all older, so there was no need to avoid them.
He greeted the queen mother and concubines, and the queen mother hurriedly gave a seat.
The concubine Xian said with a smile: "The little prince is really filial to the empress dowager. Look, come here all day long to greet the empress dowager."
Among the concubines, the one with the highest rank is Concubine Xian, who is also the one who talks and laughs, making the queen mother happy all the time.
The topic somehow involved Xiao Xuan’s wife, and the concubine Xian took a glance towards Xiao Xuan, “I don’t know which daughter of this Imperial Capital can be worthy of the little prince. I can't find a better appearance than the little prince."
Xiao Xuan's appearance is handsome, especially with a pair of peach eyes, always with an intoxicating smile, he has grown so big, I don't know how many girls blush for him.
Xiao Xuan has always been the empress dowager’s heart. Although he knows that Concubine Xian is deliberately pleasing her, he still smiles cheerfully: "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, looks second, but the Ai family doesn’t know. Can there be a girl who can surrender to the grandson of Ai's family."
Xiao Xuan hurriedly said, "The wife the grandson wants to marry must be the best-looking girl in Beijing."
Xiao Tan, who was at the side of the queen mother, pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this.
The Queen Mother happily said: "With so many girls in Beijing, so many little girls like flowers, who can pick the best one?"
"As long as she can make me like and make me happy, she is the best-looking."
When Concubine Xian and Rong Bi listened, they laughed so much that tears were coming out. Chen Liangbi has always been like a tree, and it is rare to pull the corners of his lips to show a smile.
No one knows that when Xiao Xuan said this, he was serious about it.
After talking for so long, everyone felt thirsty, so they drank a few sips of tea.
Concubine Xian put aside the tea cup and looked at Chen Liangbi who had not said a word.
"The eldest prince and the second prince are already married, and the third prince will get married soon. Then it will be your fourth child's turn. Are you looking for a good daughter-in-law?"
Chen Liangbi opened his mouth and said nothing.
Rong Bi also said, "Sister Liangbi, you tell me that we, as sisters, can also help you pick one." Just like someone who came over.
Although Rong Bi is in a low position, he is always arrogant because his son is older than the sons of Concubine and Liang.
The queen mother has lived in the deep palace for most of her life, and it is natural to see that the undercurrents under the seemingly harmonious surface of these people are surging. Don't say anything, watching the play quietly while drinking tea.
Liang's lips moaned, and only after a while he said, "Yu'er is still young, so I won't be in a hurry to talk about marriage after the third prince gets married."
Rong Bi exclaimed: "If I remember correctly, the fourth prince is only half a year younger than my third prince. Liangbi, you mother, why don't you even care about your son's lifelong affairs."
Concubine Xian was drinking tea calmly, "Sister Rong Bi has forgotten that Liang Bi is not the birth mother of the fourth prince. It is excusable for her negligence in the affairs of the fourth prince."
As soon as she said this, Rong Bi covered her lips and smiled.
There was still a little light in Liangbi's eyes, but the light dimmed in an instant.
The smile on the queen mother’s face has all been condensed, and she coldly looks at Concubine Xian
Rongbi two people.
When Xiao Xuan was a child, he heard the grandmother in the palace secretly talk about Xiao Yu's life experience, and when he grew up, he sent someone to investigate it, which is no stranger to the matter. It was the first time that Xiao Tan heard about this and couldn't help but look at Chen Liangbi curiously.
Seeing Liang Bi's look sad, he knew that the matter was probably conclusive, and felt a little sympathy for Liang Bi.
Liang 嫔 has always been the most inexistent concubine in the harem. In Xiao Tan's impression, Liang 嫔's birthplace is not low, and there is another prince under his knees, but he has not been promoted for so many years.
The queen mother didn't speak, she quietly stared at the concubine Xian and Rongbi who were still talking and laughing.
The two seemed to be aware of something, and turned around to see that the Queen Mother looked serious, with faint signs of anger, and kept silent.
The queen mother patted the table heavily, "Liang 嫔 has nurtured the four princes for more than a dozen years, how come they are not the birth mother of the four princes? You remember clearly on the jade, do you want to ask the emperor?"
The two hurriedly got up and knelt at the feet of the Queen Mother, "The concubine did not notice for a while, but said something like this. I still hope the empress dowager's concubine's gaffe will be lenient."
The Queen Mother glanced coldly at the two of them. Both of them were old men in the harem, and each gave birth to a prince. Even in the face of grandchildren, the queen mother is not easy to treat them.
She looked at Chen Liangbi, "What you just said has caused the most damage to Liangbi. You should ask Liangbi for forgiveness, not mourning."
Apologize to Liangbi
Both Concubine Xian and Rong Bi's complexion changed.
The concubine's rank is higher than that of the concubine, and even the noble concubine usually doesn't pay attention to it. How can it be possible to bow to the concubine
Rong Bi has always been so arrogant in front of Liang Bi, how can he make his face
"The empress dowager, the concubine knows that she is wrong, you ask her concubine to apologize to Liang concubine, how can you tell the concubine and the sixth prince to behave?" Xian concubine choked.
Although she is nearly forty years old, she looks very young because of the proper care, and she also looks like pear blossoms and rain when she cries.
She fought for favor with Concubine Gao for so many years, and relied on tears to win the favor of the emperor, even if Concubine Gao hated her to itchy teeth, she could not make Concubine Xian lose a piece of hair.
But the tears she shed now had the wrong object.
The queen mother is not the emperor, the emperor has the heart of pity and cherishing jade, but the queen mother does not. The queen mother has been married to the royal family for so many years, is there any woman next to the first emperor, and how does she fight for favor? The charming concubine Gao Gui and the gentle and indifferent concubine Xiang Xian, in the eyes of the queen mother, are just wearing a mask.
Only by tearing off the mask can we see their ugliness.
"In the Aijia Palace, everyone's mouth is strict. If the people of Cining Palace don't tell what happened today, who else will know?" The queen mother looked at Concubine Xiang Xian coldly.
Concubine Xian's face was red and her ears were red, and tears fell heavily.
Liang's concubine also knelt down, and said anxiously: "The two sisters, Xian Fei and Rong Bi, were unintentional. Concubine would never accept their apology. Concubine did not blame them for this, please. Let the queen mother spare them."
The empress dowager's gaze was frozen on Liang's head, Liang's wife noticed that a gaze was forcing her, and she buried her head lower.
The queen mother retracted her gaze and looked at the two people under her feet again, "Since Liang's wife has spoken to intercede for you, the Ai family can't hold on to this matter, you two get up."
Concubine Xian and Rong Bi stood up, not daring to sit down.
One was wiping his tears and choked slightly, while the other stood there not knowing where to look.
When the queen mother saw Xiao Xuan on the side, thinking that Xiao Xuan would enter the palace today, she was unwilling to let him see this unbearable thing, so she asked the concubine Xian and the others to go back.
A few people had just left Cining Palace, and the concubine Xian turned abruptly to look at Liang Lai who was behind her. Her eyes were gloomy. She looked at Liang Lai for a while, but the latter still looked uneasy. Concubine Xian gave a cold snort and took her maid of the court away.
Rong Bi held back his unhappiness and said to Liang Bi, “What I just said, don’t get into your heart. You know, the fourth prince grew up by me, and he and the third prince are close in age. He hurts like his own son. I also really consider his marriage. Seeing that the three princes are all engaged, and the fourth prince’s marriage is still undecided, my heart is really anxious."
Chen Liangbi said: "You treat Yu'er well, I see it in my eyes, and my sister shouldn't blame herself. If this continues, it's mine.
Up. "
Rong Bi just smiled and said, "My sister is generous, but fortunately, she is my sister. If I change other people, I won't be forgiving."
The two said goodbye, and Rong Bi returned to his bedroom, her face no longer smiling.
Liangbi was old and waning, and the four princes frequently made the emperor dissatisfied, so she had to apologize to Liangbi in a low voice.
Rong Bi became more and more angry, and knocked the tea cup to the ground. The porcelain pieces smashed into one piece on the floor, and the hot tea was still steaming.
"Isn't it because she was born? What can't be said? The empress dowager protects her like that. If she really has that ability, why can't she give birth to a son and a half for so many years
Rong Bi has been patting the table because of his anger. Rongbi's teeth are sharp and sharp, and he doesn't get a knot when he finishes his words.
The maids in the room had never seen Rong Yanfa in such a big fire, and they all knelt down in fear.
Liangbi went back to the bedroom, and the maid beside her said worriedly: "Manny, now Concubine Xian and Concubine Rong will hate you, and you will not have a good life in the future."
Liangbi's complexion was calm, and there was no way she was cowering in Ci Ning Palace.
"Even if there is no such thing, they will not let this palace go. Don't forget, they all have princes." Liangbi said quietly.
The son of the emperor is not prosperous, there are only a few princes in the palace, and every concubine who has a prince wants to fight for favor with his own son. Not to mention the dragon chair that drew so many people crazy, which concubine didn't want her son to sit on it
Liang 嫔 usually lives in the simplest form, but he is still targeted by others.
She sighed softly.
"But they were right. The fourth prince should indeed get married."
In the four princes' mansion, Xiao Yu has been forbidden in the mansion by the emperor.
His successive accidents have already made the emperor very dissatisfied, so these days Xiao Yu stayed in the mansion peacefully.
Many things previously planned secretly have been delayed.
He stayed in the mansion for a long time, and it was inevitable that he was a little anxious, so he started drinking and drinking by himself.
Cheng Yao has been quite safe these days, and the mother who guarded her relaxed.
Cheng Yao sneaked out while she was not watching.
She has been kept in the house and is unfamiliar with the topography of the Prince's Mansion, but she fumbled around and even found Xiao Yu's residence.
Cheng Yao pushed the door in, and what came out was a strong smell of alcohol.
She looked at Xiao Yu who was so drunk, his eyebrows wrinkled with worry.
Although Cheng Yao admired his life and status, she also really liked him a little bit, so seeing him in such a desperate appearance was very distressed.
Cheng Yao helped the fourth prince to get there, took off his shoes, socks and jacket, and just put down the bed net, he was pulled over by the fourth prince and pressed under him.
Cheng Yao's heartbeat was thunderous, knowing what was going to happen next. Her heart was both nervous and shy, and her eyes widened at a loss.
The concubine Xian left, Xiao Tan stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for the queen mother. Although she had doubts in her heart, she had followed the Queen Mother for so long and saw her look like this, and she knew that this matter was not her ability to move her tongue. Fortunately, she is not curious, so she can't ask without asking.
The queen mother was troubled by them, and her heart became a little heavy.
Xiao Xuan thought of the news that had been sent to investigate in the past, but didn't say anything.
Several people were silent for a moment, before the queen mother opened her mouth and said, "Xuan'er has grown up, and it's time to think about marriage."
Xiao Xuan didn't expect the Queen Mother to say these words, his face flushed in shock.
He hurriedly got up and said, "The grandson thought that there is still something to deal with in the mansion, so I will ask the emperor's grandmother again."
The queen mother watched him rush out in a panic, and accidentally knocked his forehead down, and shook her head helplessly, "This child, I don't know who has the temper." Naturally, she followed his father and thought of his young son who died prematurely. , The Queen Mother also felt a pain in her heart.
Xiao Xuan ran out in a panic, wondering if he didn't read the old almanac when he went out today, he wondered depressed.
After leaving the palace, Xiao Xuan naturally did not return to the Yu Palace, but went to the Gu Palace.
Gu Huaili looked at Xiao Xuan and sighed sadly.
How did this little ancestor run to Gu's house twice in three days
It's fine to run to Gu's house, but not to find grandfather, but to find Xie Zhang.
Gu Huaili didn't know when Xiao Xuan established friendship with Xie Zhang.
When Xie Zhang saw Xiao Xuan, the corners of his mouth twitched.
He thought he had no friendship with Xiao Xuan. God knows why after he returned to Beijing this time, this young prince would pester himself
