She was stunned, and turned around suddenly, only to find that apart from a few women dressed like princesses, there was only one concubine who looked slightly aloof.
Was that person staring at me just now
Yu Qingluo shook her head, thinking it was impossible. This person didn't seem to have such sharp eyes.
"This is Concubine Min, the mother-in-law of the Sixth Prince." Concubine Meng looked back and smiled.
Yu Qingluo nodded at Concubine Min, but Concubine Min just glanced at her and then looked away, as if she didn't intend to talk to her.
Yu Qingluo didn't take it seriously. Anyway, for her, she had no friendship with these concubines and would never have any friendship with them in the future. Especially Concubine Min's son, who often hangs out with the third and fourth princes. Among the people who went to Ye Lansheng's mansion to cause trouble last time was the young prince of the sixth prince's family.
Concubine Meng then pointed to a concubine-looking person next to Concubine Liu and said, "This is Concubine Kang, the mother-concubine of the fourth prince."
Yu Qingluo pursed her lips and glanced at Concubine Meng thoughtfully. The latter acted as if he did not receive her gaze, and introduced the following concubines with a smile, probably going through them all.
However, compared to the previous concubines who had princes, the following introductions are a little dull and boring.
Yu Qingluo was not very interested at first, but now she felt even more unable to stay still. Dealing with women in the palace was not her strong point, especially these scheming women with ulterior motives, which made her feel extremely irritated.
Fortunately, after just an introduction, Concubine Meng led everyone to get up and go to the theater troupe set up in front, inviting everyone to watch the show.
Yu Qingluo was not in a good mood, but she still had to chat with him. Fortunately, there was Ye Wanyan beside her, holding her arm and chattering.
Concubine Meng did not reprimand her this time, but only gave her one or two cold looks from time to time, seeming to warn her to be careful. Those cold looks failed to scare Ye Wanyan away, but they made Ye Wanyan's mother-in-law break into a cold sweat and tried to pull her back several times.
The other concubines were relatively quiet. Even Concubine Liu just stared at Yu Qingluo sarcastically, then turned to talk to Concubine Kang beside her. I don't know whether it was to give Concubine Meng face, or if they had other plans in mind, but none of these people made things difficult for her today.
After finally finishing the play, Yu Qing rubbed her sore shoulders without leaving a trace, and followed the others to the flower hall for dinner.
The meal was very exquisite and delicious, but it was also extremely slow when it was ready. Yu Qingluo felt extremely awkward and just wanted to end today's torture as soon as possible.
Fortunately, after finishing their meal, everyone sat for a while and then left one after another.
After everyone had almost left, Concubine Meng asked Fei Ge to close the door of the room, sat down next to Yu Qingluo, took a sip from the tea cup.
Yu Qingluo smiled, she knew that Concubine Meng had something to say to her, and the most important thing was to start now.
"Princess, how did you feel about today's show?"
"It's not bad. The female actor sings well and looks good." Her face was so smudged that her original appearance was no longer visible. She was so pretty. Yu Qingluo complained secretly, telling lies with her eyes open.
Concubine Meng seemed a little dissatisfied with her pretending to be stupid. She coughed slightly and got to the point directly. "The princess is a smart person. Regarding Ah Fu's matter, I think the princess should be very aware of the conspiracy involved."
"Does the empress mean that Ah Fu was instigated by someone to deliberately frame Prince Xiu and the Seventh Prince and make the two brothers kill each other?"
Yu Qingluo no longer played casually. Since she said it so sincerely, she should reply sincerely. She would always go around and talk about her purpose this time.
Concubine Meng laughed, "Xiu'er and Haoting are both my sons. If someone wants to deal with my two sons at the same time, I will naturally not let it go. The princess has already made a marriage contract with Xiu'er, and she will It’s the person who built the palace, so he probably doesn’t want to see the person who built the palace being used as a target, right?”
"What the empress means is..."
"Xiu'er and Haoting are men. Many things are inconvenient, and they inevitably don't think about things too delicately. The two brothers don't get along much, so their relationship is a bit rusty. Even if they talk, they won't sit down and have a good conversation. Just chatting, isn't this just an advantage to those people behind the scenes? But I and the princess both hope that the two of them can be safe and harmonious. Since those people are dealing with them at the same time this time, then we should join forces to find out what's behind the scenes. That’s the right person.”
Yu Qingluo sneered secretly. Sure enough, this was the purpose of Concubine Meng's search for her.
Join forces? It sounds nice, but it's just pushing her out to use as a gun point. You can just reap the benefits by yourself. This calculation can be regarded as a good one.
"Your Majesty, I am a dull-tempered princess. Besides, I don't know much about this situation. I really don't know who has such a deep hatred for Prince Xiu and the Seventh Prince. I don't know what to do. How can I help your Majesty?"
Concubine Meng's eyes sharpened, but she still suppressed the emotions that came up, and said softly, "Princess, why should you belittle yourself? If the princess was not smart, how could she have achieved what she has today? I believe that the princess will be successful in the future. He is Xiu'er's good helper, and he definitely doesn't want to see Xiu'er involved in danger. As for those who framed Xiu'er and Haoting, they are just for the position above, and the candidates... haven't you seen the princess today?"
Yu Qingluo suddenly realized that no wonder she had introduced to herself in detail the concubines who gave birth to princes from the beginning.
"Concubine Shu, Concubine Liu, Concubine Kang, and Concubine Min all have different personalities. When the princess goes back, she might as well think carefully about which one of them is the most likely. I am a little tired, and it is not early, so I will not keep the princess."
Yu Qingluo was really swearing, this was clearly a forced purchase and sale. Before she agreed, Concubine Meng gave her a task and she had to accept it.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Concubine Meng calling to the flying pigeon beside her, "Send the princess out of the palace."
Fei Ge blessed the two of them, then looked at Yu Qingluo with a smile, "Princess, please."
"Okay, the noble concubine, take a good rest, and I will take my leave first." Yu Qingluo shrugged and stood up from the chair.
To be honest, even if Concubine Meng didn't look for her today, she would still find out who was behind Ah Fu. But the current situation was like being treated as a pawn by Concubine Meng, which made her feel very unhappy.
Yu Qingluo just thought that the person had already stepped out of the door. Feige took the first few steps to get her umbrella. When she was standing in the corridor, Yu Qingluo squinted her eyes. Just as she took a few steps forward, a square object in the corner suddenly caught her attention.
Yu Qingluo's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her heart beat rapidly.
