royal girl

Chapter 237
Xia Yingbai watched the emperor gradually fascinated, so she stopped talking, and walked out slowly with the bowl of soup that was already a bit cold, and the bowl should be hot to coax him to drink, otherwise she put so many coptis Could it be that this bowl of soup was in vain.The emperor's illness was tampered with again, and he was very suspicious. This time he went to the empress's palace for two days to recuperate, and then he went directly to his own to recuperate.During this period, the imperial concubine, concubine Xian, concubine De, and concubine Liang all asked the emperor to go to their palace to recuperate, but the emperor ignored them.Thinking about it carefully, the reason why the emperor didn't go was because these concubines had already grown-up princes who started the mansion, so they didn't dare to go.

So let yourself judge others, when the emperor thinks of King Jing from himself, will he also feel that he has neglected his son for so many years, and it is actually pitiful and wronged?
She doesn't know about this.

The emperor had just recovered from his contemplation when he saw Concubine Han come in with a smile on her face, carrying a bowl of steaming tonic soup...

It's so bitter, I don't want to drink it at all!
Huiyu couldn't calm down for three days in a row, and received several times more posts than she expected. After seeing all these people, she was really exhausted.Yue Shuiqing was the No.1 one she met after meeting her natal family, so it must be very lively to come to Prince Ning's Mansion at this time.Originally thinking about Yue Shuiqing's identity, Ning Wang and his wife knew the most clearly, Ning Wang was just showing affection for this secret, and then let Jing Jing's mansion see that he would not find fault in the past.

Unexpectedly, the fake Yue Shuiqing was really beyond her expectations, and actually left King Ning in her room.

So this time the fake Yue Shuiqing went back with the news of Prince Jing's mansion, and she put some weight on her, so she should be more favored.

"What are you thinking about?" Ji Qiyu came out of the clean room and changed into soft home clothes. The light blue straight gown made her look taller and lighter.

"I was thinking about Prince Ning's Mansion." Hui Yu said with a smile, "I didn't expect this fake cousin to have some wrists. King Ning knew she was a fake, so he actually stayed overnight. I think Princess Ning should be in a very special mood at this time. complex."

Seeing Huiyu's happy face, Ji Qiyu also felt that she was in a better mood, so she sat opposite her and said, "It's nothing to be pitiful about." At this point, she sneered, "The fake one also knows that he will go to Ningxia. What will happen to the Wangfu, but wearing the name of this cousin on her head is different, she is obviously a person who can plan for herself." Only such a smart person can live a good life, otherwise... just It's just a victim of the struggle in Prince Ning's Mansion.

Hearing Ji Qiyu's calm tone, she knew that she was very disgusted with this matter, so she stopped mentioning it.Instead, he talked about the people who came to visit in the past few days. Those people are good friends, those people are unfamiliar with them before, and those people are posting now, and which people are holding a wait-and-see attitude...

Ji Qiyu listened to Huiyu's words and made comments from time to time, telling Huiyu some things that need attention. People like Zhang Chang and Guo Linghua should be more affectionate, especially if Guo Linghua's wife is still Huiyu's. Cousin, even if her relatives are close, she won't be suspected.For example, those who are still secretly supporting Prince Jing should not get too close on the surface, and just walk around more in private.

Now that Ji Qiyu's official position is becoming more and more stable, people who used to be on the sidelines are slowly posting them now.But these people who posted later must be very different from the people Ji Qiyu supported when he had nothing.For example, Guo Linghua, Zhang Chang, Wei Zhang, Ding Jingsheng, Zuo Wenshu, and Peng Qi all followed Ji Qiyu before he made a fortune, and such people have to walk around in an intimate and unobtrusive manner.Later, as Ji Qiyu's official position became higher and higher and more powerful, the people who posted it faded by a point or two.Later, when Ji Qiyu no longer cared about who leaned in and who didn't, those people became even more alienated.

Now Huiyu pays more attention to the people in the second stage, and how to communicate with these people is also a more in-depth question.At this time, Ji Qiyu took the time to explain to Huiyu in detail, which is tantamount to showing Huiyu a clear path.Speaking of it, it is extremely rare for Ji Qiyu to tell Huiyu all of her contacts in such a time and space.You must know that the male master of the family here has his own independent study courtyard, and even the wife of the main house cannot easily set foot in it.There are many things that can be said in the backyard. Many times, there are many things that the wife does not know. After all, the wife also has her own family, and the interest disputes behind are also entangled.

Ji Qiyu listened carefully to Huiyu's talk, and it took more than two hours before it came to an end. After drinking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, Ji Qiyu dropped another bomb, "Your brother will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow. Yes, I will enter the palace and then go directly to the palace, and finally return to Duke Dingguo's mansion."

Before the Second Madam Dong revealed that she wanted Dong Yunji to live in the palace directly after her return. Although Huiyu was also very happy to do so, after all, Duke Dingguo's mansion is Dong Yunji's home, and she was afraid that it would not be good to spread the word.At this time, Ji Qiyu seemed to mean that Dong Yunji would stay in the palace before returning to Dingguo Duke's mansion. She was relieved and asked, "Is it okay to come to the palace first?" It's right at home.

"It's okay." Ji Qiyu glanced at Huiyu with a smile and knew what she was worried about, so she explained: "Brother's errand in the south has something to do with the shipping under my jurisdiction. He came to the palace to do business, no problem." of."

Seeing Ji Qiyu talking about business in a serious manner, Huiyu was embarrassed, Ji Qiyu knew that she was anxious to see her brother, that's why she was like this, this tactful concern still made people feel warm.

"That's good. Anyway, it's the same in the Yamen as at home." Huiyu smiled innocently.

Ji Qiyu looked at her speechless for a while, then shook her head, sighed and said: "Tomorrow you can also call your mother-in-law."

"It's still not necessary." Huiyu directly vetoed it, "If my mother comes here to wait for my brother, grandma will be unhappy again, so let's not worry about it, and I can go back sooner or later anyway." In fact, she really wanted to be with the family. The family is reunited, but for now, I still have to bear it, and it will be fine when the family is separated.Otherwise, under the current situation, if you go back to Dingguo Mansion, you don't know if there will be any bad rumors outside.

Looking at Huiyu's unhappy face, Ji Qiyu also knew her concerns, and felt that Dong Yunji's independent government was imminent.Otherwise, it is really unpleasant for a daughter-in-law to have so many worries if she wants to return to her natal home.

"Wait until you open the mansion alone, then bear with it."

"Yeah." Huiyu responded softly, her eyes turned red as she lowered her head.After coming here for so many years, Mrs. Dong Er has really protected her in every possible way, and now she really has a mother-daughter relationship with her, so she also thinks that she can live happily.

Seeing Huiyu's appearance, Ji Qiyu took her hand and held it in his, and said in a low voice, "Don't be sad, you will be happy tomorrow."

Such comforting words... Huiyu's sourness that had just surged up was washed away all of a sudden.

Before dawn the next day, Ji Qiyu opened his eyes, and looked at Huiyu, who was still sleeping next to her, tucking her quilt. Then, he turned his eyes away and let his thoughts roll again.Dong Yunji returned to Beijing safely, and he released a new name, that is, the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River suffered a complete failure.If Dong Yunji was successfully calculated by the water transport, he would not be able to return to Beijing in a happy manner now.

So once Dong Yunji returns to Beijing, there will be a huge disturbance.

Water transportation, salt affairs, shipping and all officials related to them can imagine this war of words just by thinking about it.But the most important thing is to see how much evidence Dong Yunji has. He didn't ask about this, and Dong Yunji didn't say anything.After all, this is an errand that Xing Yulang asked Dong Yunji to do. If he intervenes too deeply and knows too much, it will not be a good thing to fall into the eyes of others, even the emperor.Even his assistance to Dong Yunji was mostly carried out in secret, and he even specially arranged some maritime yamen related to the water transport to have some unpleasant things with Dong Yunji, so as to confuse people and make it easier to find out. .

This morning, Dong Yunji's return will definitely be full of excitement.

When the time comes, it's better for me to avoid suspicion, but how can I avoid suspicion and take it for granted?
Ji Qiyu didn't think of a reason, so when it was time to get up, she got out of bed cautiously, turned her head to look at Huiyu who was soundly asleep, lowered the curtain for her, and ordered the girl to dim the lights a bit. Only then did he lift his foot and walked out, even his footsteps were deliberately light.

When Huiyu woke up, the sky was bright. Last night, Ji Qiyu was very late, and accidentally overslept.He hurriedly called the girl to come in to serve her, and when she finished washing, Xueying came in and said, "Princess, Concubine Yang is here."

Huiyu nodded, "Please wait in the morning, I'll be there right away." Huiyu adjusted the hairpin rings on her bun as she spoke, and Xueying bent over and retreated.

Seeing Xueying coming out, Concubine Yang stepped forward with a smile and asked: "Miss Xueying, is the princess free to see me right now, coming too early really disturbed the princess's rest."

Thinking of the sky outside, Xueying smiled, and said: "These days the princess has been arranging the postings of each family, so she goes to bed very late at night." This sentence explains the reason why the princess wakes up late. "Already got up, let the servant please sit down for a while, the concubine will come soon." After speaking, he invited the concubine Yang to sit down, and personally brought the tea from the little girl over, with a very cordial and respectful attitude.

Concubine Yang looked at Xueying's attitude towards her, and remembered that when these girls came to pay her respects to the concubine before, they had guarded eyes, and the heart that was already in her heart felt more at ease.She is now relying on Princess Le, looking at the attitude of these girls, she thinks that Princess Le is also satisfied with her loyalty, so that's fine.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, the concubine came out, Concubine Yang quickly put down the teacup and stood up, greeting her well.

"Get up quickly, there are no outsiders here, so don't be too polite, just sit down." Huiyu said with a smile.

Only then did Concubine Yang sit back slowly, and went through what she wanted to say in her heart again, and then she spoke slowly, "The concubine has sent the account book, and I ask the concubine to have a look."

Concubine Yang was given the regular errands in the mansion. This errand is a good one, but it is also relatively trivial, and the accounts must be clear.It was the first time Concubine Yang did such a thing, so she was naturally more cautious.

"Since I entrust the matter to you, I can trust you. You don't need to hand over the account books to me. You can just talk to Mother You." Huiyu is not the kind of narrow-minded person who suspects others while using others, and there is You Mammy didn't dare to play tricks on Concubine Yang.

"Yes, then the concubine will meet You Mama when I turn around." Concubine Yang couldn't tell what she was feeling at this moment, she was happy for the princess's trust in her, but also a little sad for her own choice.

"Well, I still have a few errands for you. If you are too busy, you can take them together." Huiyu can already imagine how busy she will be during the Chinese New Year this year, and she feels a headache just looking at the posts in her hand .Even if not every family can come, but she has no free time before the Shangyuan Festival, which is selected and must go.The affairs of the family also need someone to watch over them properly. Although there is Mother You, it is not good to have only slaves without a master to support them.If a guest comes to visit suddenly, it is natural that a master should come forward to receive him.

She was pregnant during Chinese New Year last year, so many things could be postponed with this excuse, but this year she can't, even if it's for Ji Qiyu and Prince Jing's mansion, she can't be lazy.

Concubine Yang was obviously taken aback when she heard Huiyu's words. She didn't expect...the concubine would give her other errands, and she was so surprised that she forgot to respond.

Seeing Concubine Yang's rare loss of composure, Huiyu chuckled, and said slowly: "My lord is busy at the end of the year, and I can't handle so many things by myself. Sister Yang can share my worries for my lord, It’s really a happy thing, but it’s just going to take a lot of hard work for you.”

"The concubine dare not say hard work, thank you, the lord and concubine, for trusting the concubine." Only then did Concubine Yang recover, knowing that the concubine was not joking, this sudden surprise shocked her all of a sudden. "It's just that the concubine is stupid, for fear of causing trouble to the princess."

"Everything has a process, don't worry, I'll let Nanny You tell you more." Huiyu directly concluded the coffin. event.

At this time, Concubine Yang's heart was like a stormy sea, she never thought that she would have such a blessing.Think about the side concubines in other palaces, not to mention the grievances between the well-known Concubine Ning and Concubine Dong, that Concubine Peng who has long since disappeared is Concubine Su who is as famous as Concubine Ning. Willing to share the power in the mansion with a side concubine.

Their princess... is really an elusive person.

When you are cold, you will feel uneasy and fearful.

When you are reused, you will be surprised and delighted, and it is difficult to refuse.

Concubine Yang didn't want to agree so quickly, but seeing Wang Fei's smiling, kind and trusting eyes, she couldn't say this at all.In exchange for the trust of the princess, she paid a heavy price.But the words are also spoken, even if she doesn't do this, is it possible that the prince will see her if she keeps guarding like this?

When the prince got tired of looking at the princess, she was also old, and she didn't have enough appearance to attract the prince's attention.

Rather than this... her choice was not wrong, people always have to pave a way for themselves, she did not make a mistake!
After comforting herself in this way, the smile on Concubine Yang's face was more sincere than before, "Yes, the concubine will definitely ask Madam You for advice, and won't let the concubine be bothered by trivial matters at home."

Hearing what Concubine Yang said, Huiyu felt relieved, nodded and said, "If you can have this kind of heart, the lord will be relieved when you know about it. There are many troubles at home, and you will have to work hard on Younger Sister Yang in the future." Already." Speaking of this, he added another sentence lightly. "If Sister Yang feels that she is too busy, and there are other people in the house, you can also find a helper."

The only other masters left in the mansion were side concubine Wei and two concubines. Speaking of which, the two concubines could not be regarded as masters but half masters and half servants.Concubine Yang guessed Wang Hao's intentions in her heart. It is possible that Wang Hao was afraid that she would not be able to control Concubine Wei, so she allowed herself to find a helper among the two concubines, so that she would be more confident at that time.

The princess is asking her to cultivate her power in the palace!

Concubine Yang was stunned all of a sudden, which mistress could have such momentum and confidence to have such power over a concubine?
