Princess Changying's mansion managed to hold the banquet smoothly. Although the palace did not give any gifts, Princess Chang'an came in person, held her hand and sighed: "The Empress Defei asked about you, and I just said that you were not in good health..."
Seeing that Princess Changying's mansion had completely fallen into disgrace, Concubine De actually asked. Princess Changying smiled and said, "This is not asking me, this is waving to you, my sister."
She didn't hide it anymore and told Princess Chang'an directly, "Originally, the Emperor and Empress had decided that Gui Niang would marry him... But now it seems that Gui Niang is dying, and the Empress is not in charge anymore. I'm afraid that Concubine De is thinking about taking care of this matter for the Emperor, so she deliberately passed the message to you, hoping to get close to you."
Princess Chang'an sighed faintly, her eyes changed, and after a moment she shook her head: "I would rather Ah Sheng stay away from these things."
Princess Changying said no more and only asked about the Wei family: "What did they say when they entered the palace this time?"
Princess Chang'an guessed his intention and told him about what Old Lady Wei had said about Wei An's intention to fast for a month on behalf of Princess Zheng's birthday. She then said, "Her Majesty the Virtuous immediately agreed and did not even ask the Queen."
Princess Changying had long expected that the Wei family would go to the palace to make a complaint, so she smiled coldly.
Princess Chang'an saw that she was not in a good state, so she tried to say something happy to cheer her up: "I heard that the child from the Shen family is very good?"
Princess Changying hummed, and her expression brightened up: "She is good-looking, and her character and appearance are both very good."
Princess Chang'an paused for a moment before she said, "If that's the case, we should settle the matter sooner rather than later."
"But I'm sure the Shen family hasn't given us a clear answer." Princess Changying leaned back on the bamboo pillow filled with medicinal herbs, feeling a little annoyed: "I don't know if there will be any changes."
If something really happened, it would not be easy to find a better one, and she was really upset.
Princess Chang'an didn't know what to say anymore. She persuaded her for a while, then went to see Li Gui Niang. She went home and called her daughter to her. She stared at her for a long time before asking her, "I never asked you before, do you know anything about this matter?"
Xianrong County Lady has always been very close to her mother. As soon as she heard her mother ask, she knew what she was asking. After hesitating for a moment, she admitted it in front of her mother and leaned closer to her: "I didn't do anything. I just told Gui Niang that Wei An lives next door."
Seeing that Princess Chang'an had no expression on her face, she paused for a moment before continuing, "And then, after my cousin and Gui Niang made their move, I just reminded Wei An who was behind it."
Princess Chang'an nodded calmly and asked her, "Does anyone else know?"
"No!" Xianrong County Lady hastily denied: "I was very careful in reminding others, no one else would know."
Princess Chang'an touched her hair, a complex smile flashing in her eyes: "You know what you want and you have thought of a way, which is not wrong. Gui Niang has been standing in front of you for too long. I know your grievances..."
Princess Xianrong bit her lip and said nothing.
Princess Chang'an said, "But you are still too young, and it is easy for you to reveal your actions. I think your aunt is very suspicious about this matter. She hates Wei An and Dingbei Marquis Mansion, but the incident happened when your brother was hosting a dinner party, so she may be a little suspicious of you."
Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the question today.
Having been sisters for so many years, she knew who Princess Changying was. With her usual temper, she would not give others what she did not want, but this time she specifically pointed out that Princess Xianrong should compete for the Linjiang Prince's Consort...
Xianrong County Lady became a little nervous: "Then... what should we do?"
She was still a little scared in her heart. She didn't expect Wei An's methods to be so powerful that he could defeat Princess Changying in one fell swoop and leave her powerless to fight back.
Moreover, she always felt that there was something wrong with Li Shao's death. She also felt that Li Shao was not the kind of person who did not know the seriousness of the matter. If no one had tampered with the matter, he would never have risked being beheaded and returned to Beijing.
This was probably the work of Wei An.
But if Wei An really had such ability, after borrowing her hand, Princess Xianrong was a little panicked, and at the same time she felt a little wary - smart people don't like to be used by others. She took advantage of Wei An, and she wondered what would happen to her if Wei An could guess it
Princess Chang'an smiled gently at her daughter and said, "Why are you asking me what to do now?"
She didn't hesitate at all and let out a breath: "What can I do? Since you want that position, I will help you get there. But there is one thing, it will only get worse day by day, and it is better not to offend the Wei family if there is no need to." She glanced at her daughter: "After all... King Zheng seems to be very concerned about this adopted daughter, you should be more restrained in the future."
Princess Xianrong responded in a low voice, and after thinking for a while, she decided not to mention the fact that Wei An might have killed Li Shao.
Princess Chang'an then told her about the palace: "Fortunately, I didn't bring you into the palace this time. You should go to the palace less recently. Wait until the queen gets better, then you can go in to pay your respects."
She thought about it carefully and felt that what the Chief Clerk said made sense. In a competition between the two palaces, Queen Fang would probably have a better chance of winning.
I just don’t know if He will explode the first thunder in this gloomy sky.
The thunder struck faster than they expected.
July 15th is the Ghost Festival. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory should have calculated the date and stated that the little prince should not go out on this day, especially at night, for fear that the little prince, too young, might be bumped by something.
But who knows, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.
At night, when the wet nurse was carrying the little prince to show Queen Fang, she was startled by the ashes of paper money floating in as she walked in the corridor. She was so frightened that she slipped and fell, and the little prince in her arms fell.
Although the palace maids saw the opportunity quickly and threw themselves on the ground to serve as human blankets, the little prince was still frightened and developed a high fever that night.
The imperial physicians and the attendants were all called in, and after working all night, they finally managed to bring down the little prince's fever.
But the story doesn't end there.
It is strictly forbidden to burn paper money in the palace. Even on the Ghost Festival, there are strict regulations on the places for burning paper money. Someone actually burned paper money outside the Fengyi Palace. This matter really caused a big uproar.
Empress Fang was almost sick from anger, but before she could say anything, the imperial censors outside heard the news and reported to the emperor that Concubine De was not doing her best in managing the six palaces...
