royal girl

Chapter 401 Reach an alliance
The queen gave a wry smile in her heart. She always thought that the fourth family was indeed beautiful and intelligent, but she still underestimated her. This is a person with great wisdom.Know the trade-offs, know the hard work, know when to do things, be resolute and resolute, and move forward bravely.Even when she was young, she couldn't do this.

Who is selfless in the heart, how many people are willing to put it in front of others?

"You are smart." The queen really laughed this time, and laughed from the bottom of her heart, "Take back all your worries, Ben Gong... I will take this bet with you. There is only one thing, not As a last resort, Lao Qi cannot be involved."

Huiyu's heart is very complicated. The queen can still think of leaving a way out for King Jia at this time. No wonder Ji Qiyu and King Jia respect the queen so much. Even she respects the queen sincerely at this moment, " Don't worry, no matter when, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I guarantee that King Jia will never be implicated." If Ji Qiyu really can't come back, and if it is impossible to realize the ascension of King Jia, the queen is asking that under such circumstances, We can't let King Jia be unlucky with them.

Mother's heart, maybe so, after all, the empress brought up King Jia personally, but the love between mother and child is really different.

Now that she had spoken, the empress said directly to Huiyu this time: "The reason why I procrastinate about Wen Xizhen's matter is firstly because Concubine De has a lot of hands and feet in it, and secondly Concubine De hints that there is something wrong with Bengong's elders. Si's future is unknown, because it is not easy to transmit news outside the palace, and my palace has many scruples, so it is inevitable that things will not be smooth. In addition, the fourth child has not returned yet, the emperor does not need to rush to give his son an explanation, delaying it for a few days is not enough It's nothing. I still have a layer of concern. If Wen Xizhen's case is settled immediately, there will still be time and opportunity for Concubine De to make a comeback before the fourth brother returns. In this way, all my efforts will be in vain. So "You can't be in a hurry about this matter. If Ben Gong delays this matter, Concubine De will think that Ben Gong's position is not strong, and think that it is very likely that Ben Gong will turn against him immediately after the news of the accident of the fourth child. After reaching this level, it will be more convenient for me to do things in the palace, do you understand?"

Huiyu immediately understood what the queen said, frowned slightly, looked at the queen and said, "It's not easy to pass news inside and outside the palace, but what if the daughter-in-law wants to contact the queen for urgent matters?"

The queen shook her head lightly, "In the past, there were people of my own in the inner court. When the fourth elder was in charge of the inner court, I gave him my connections. Later, after the third son took over the inner court, it was like being controlled by the emperor. Well, the people inside can be changed, let alone, not to mention Bengong, even the power of Concubine De and others has been wiped out."

I knew that was the case, but I was still a little disappointed.

Huiyu thought for a while, "If this is the case, then the daughter-in-law and the queen mother can only agree that no matter what happens, we will act according to the plan we made, and we will not believe any rumors outside. What do you think?"

"The danger is great, but there is no other good way. Tell me about your plan, and I will give you the details."

Huiyu explained in a low voice in front of the queen. The queen looked at Huiyu more and more differently. Huiyu tried to ignore the queen's probing gaze and continued talking on her own. Well, outside the Xinguo Palace and other people, the prince had a detailed plan earlier. Now that the mother and queen are helping in the palace, the daughter-in-law only needs to adjust things outside. When the prince returns safely, it will be When King Ning's family is destroyed."

Concubine De hinted, or Huiyu guessed that Ji Qiyu was in a bad situation, but until now she firmly believed that the fourth child would come back safely, and the queen naturally hoped that the fourth child would come back well. It's like having a backbone.In the past few years, she has given almost all the power in her hands to the fourth child. Otherwise, he will take on important responsibilities one after another, and there will be many factions among the ministers in the court. How can he stabilize his footing in the shortest possible time?She has been a queen for decades, could it be for nothing?
It's just that these queens never mentioned it, and Ji Qiyu was not allowed to mention it.

The queen discussed all the details with Huiyu. Both of them were very conscientious and careful people. They didn't expect that it was the first time they cooperated on such a big matter, but they had a very tacit understanding.After talking for more than two hours, it was considered that the matter was booked. All the good and bad situations were thought of, and there was any deviation due to the inconvenience of one party's contact.

"You don't need to attend the dinner party. I will let the seventh daughter-in-law accompany you back. You still have to be extra careful now." The queen rubbed her forehead, feeling very tired. It would be too late to return to the palace after the dinner party. In case Huiyu was on the way It's really bad if there's an accident.

"Yes, I listen to my mother." Huiyu said with a smile.

The queen looked at her and smiled, "Didn't Xiao'an have a gift for sister Zhao, you should go for a walk."

The queen was giving Huiyu time to talk to Concubine Han, Huiyu didn't expect the queen to be so considerate.Originally, I planned to say hello to Xia Yingbai first, but now that I have reached an agreement with the queen, there is no need for Concubine Han to walk around specially, so she said with a smile: "I will trouble the queen to send someone to go there." Let it go, I will rest here with you."

The queen looked at Huiyu with a complicated heart. Huiyu's refusal to go was telling her that she absolutely agreed with her.

"Then I'll let Nanny Chu go, Concubine Xu Shihan will be happy to come over and have a look at you lazy bastard." Huiyu respected her enough, and the queen was also willing to give her face.

Sure enough, Concubine Han came with Xiaoan who had returned from the front hall, carrying a small basket made of wicker in her hand, which contained a gift from Xiaoan for sister Zhao, and the basket was covered with a layer of coarse blue cloth. It's really quite wild.

The queen took Xiao'an to eat delicious food, and gave Huiyu time to talk to Concubine Han. Huiyu didn't have to avoid taboos at the moment, so she told Concubine Han about the alliance between her and the queen. Talk about it in detail, in general.Concubine Han has been holding the teacup, as if talking casually with Huiyu, but the words in her mouth are not ordinary, "It's the best if I can do this, I've been very troubled in the palace recently, if it wasn't for the empress to take care of me It's even more inappropriate. Concubine De is becoming more and more arrogant in the palace now. The Concubine Chen is domineering and favored. The emperor's thoughts are mostly on her, and he almost doesn't care about the affairs of the harem. I have long thought that Concubine De is not right. It turned out to be a poisonous hand long ago, this poisonous woman, don't worry, my empress and I will deal with her to the end."

"What I mean is that the Empress Dowager has too many things to do, and Concubine De has always been on guard, so you still need to be more careful."

"No, I'm also Concubine De's big worry, otherwise she wouldn't have been targeting me all this time. Don't worry, I still have a good helper, and the one you'd like to see is the Imperial Concubine."

Huiyu was really taken aback. The imperial concubine has always been alone in the harem, and the concubine De never thought that the imperial concubine would join forces with Concubine Han.Concubine Han's fighting power really impressed Huiyu, which is definitely good news.

"Sure enough."

Concubine Han smiled complacently, "Of course, I will never stop with Concubine De. If she is fine, I will be in bad luck. For the sake of laughing, I must not be cowardly anymore." She lowered her voice and said to Hui Yu said: "There is another very important thing. Tong Shu, the niece of the imperial concubine's natal family, is not married to the eldest son of the second house of the Duke of Ling. pass."

Huiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she heard Concubine Han say again: "The eldest nephew of the imperial concubine's natal family married Liang Yi, the eldest daughter of Shunyi uncle's mansion, and that is Concubine Liang's own niece. Are you on the same boat as me?"

Huiyu rolled her eyes, "How do you know so clearly?"

"The imperial concubine has a clear family, and she knows the things here better than anyone else. She told me. Don't look at the empress, she doesn't care about anything, just like the empress." Concubine Han's voice was extremely low, "Now King Su and King Yi have nothing to do. Hope, they naturally hope to make good friends with them. Concubine De and Duke Xin Guo's actions have been too arrogant in the past few years, and I don't know how many people they have offended. Worried about whether the prince can come back safely, you have to know that if you can't, these few families may not really become your help."

So whether Ji Qiyu can come back is the most important thing.

Huiyu gritted her teeth, insisted on Concubine Han, and said: "If such news really comes out from Concubine De, you should insist on it to Concubine Liang, this is our husband and wife's strategy. Concubine and the others are just planning to lure the snake out of the hole."

Concubine Han turned pale, "Are you trying to lie to them?"

"I firmly believe that he will come back. Now there cannot be any changes on our side. Everyone must unite tightly." Huiyu sighed, "You think, if the prince is injured, the time to return to Beijing must be delayed , if within this period of time, the connections between the noble concubine and Concubine Liang turn to support King Ning..."

Naturally, Concubine Han couldn't let this kind of thing happen, "Okay! Let's fight it out, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"

Huiyu held Concubine Han's hand, "Thank you."

"That is to thank me. When you are honored in the future, remember to let my daughter and I go out of the palace to live a good life." Concubine Han raised her eyebrows and looked at Huiyu proudly, deliberately pretending to be indifferent.

"Don't worry, I will."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Concubine Han said: "Although that Concubine Chen is favored, her natal family has no one to rely on, and since what happened last time, she has learned to be good. She was able to turn around because my mother and I gave a helping hand. So you don't have to worry about her making waves that are not good for you, although she can't help much, but being able to dominate the emperor's favor in front of the imperial court is the most important thing."

As long as Concubine De can't easily see the emperor, it will be fatal when the critical moment comes.

Huiyu nodded understandingly, "I know."

"I heard about the matter of the palace. I was so scared that I almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, you are doing well now. You said that a smart person like you would make such a mistake. I really don't know what to say. "

"This is what people often say is dark under the lamp." Huiyu said to himself.

Concubine Han rolled her eyes.

The queen led Xiao An out, and said to Concubine Han with a smile: "There is going to be a lively event at night, let Xiao An sleep in the side hall for a while, so as not to lose energy at night. I will let her go out of the palace first from the fourth family. It's too late, walking at night with a bad health, and the fourth child is not at home, don't blame her."
