The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 129
In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, concubines Qi, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui are gathering to enjoy flowers and chat.

It is already summer now, and the lotus in the imperial garden is just in bloom. On one side of the lotus pond, a spacious water pavilion is built, which can accommodate nearly a hundred people to watch the lotus on it. Moreover, because the high platform of the water pavilion has been specially designed, even if Even if you are sitting, you can also have all the scenery of the lotus pond in your eyes.

The three of them walked along the lotus pond all the way, followed by a long line of court ladies, and sat down on the chairs in the waterside pavilion. Concubine Zhen smiled brightly and was quite charming. She glanced over the lotus pond before she opened her mouth and said, "Sister Hui Concubine, a few days ago, it was said that Prince Ji was not in good health. He had been ill for several days and never came to pay his respects to sister. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Concubine Zhen naturally knew about Yu Wufan's recovery, but even if she knew, she would just pretend not to know.

In the past, Concubine Hui always stayed quietly in her Yuxiu Palace, rarely going out, and they were also used to her non-competitive temperament, even if they got together, they would basically not pay attention to it. The existence of Concubine Hui, but since Yu Wuhan pulled Ruan Song off the horse in the last case, no matter who is in the harem, they have noticed that Concubine Hui is not as contentious as she seems. appearance.

Concubine Hui just smiled lightly when she heard Concubine Zhen mentioned it, "Yes, Fan'er was not in good health a few days ago, but he has recovered a few days ago, and he came to pay me a visit two days ago, saying Wake up, it can be regarded as God's blessing."

Although there is still a smile on Concubine Zhen's face, "Sister, aren't you joking? Although it is blessed by God, but, sister, I heard from King Xuan that when King Ji was seriously ill, he got a famous man in the world." I heard that King Xuan spoke highly of this famous doctor in Jianghu. Unexpectedly, King Ji also knows such a person. He really has a lot of friends. Don’t you think, Sister Qi Concubine?”

Concubine Zhen finished speaking, then turned to look at Concubine Qi who was at the side.

Concubine Qi said, "King Ji and King Qing both have a lot of friends, so it's not surprising that they know some people from outside."

Concubine Zhen covered her lips and smiled, "That's true."

Concubine Hui just listened, and there was still that faint and gentle smile on her lips, as if nothing could touch her more emotions, "These two children always like to go outside, not to mention, they are men. Things are not something we can intervene in, naturally we know a lot of people, do we still have to be like us?"

Concubine Zhen's face was a little stiff when Concubine Hui dismissed it so lukewarmly. She originally wanted to squeeze her out. , her emotions will definitely fluctuate. At that time, she can still fight for some quarrels. She doesn't want to...

The expression on her face just paused, and Concubine Zhen smiled again, "However, since King Ji knows such a person with excellent medical skills, why not let him enter the imperial hospital to work for His Majesty?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Concubine Zhen wanted to say that Yu Wufan did not consider Emperor Yuanchang.

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Sister, aren't you joking? Others have other people's lives, even if they have some friendship with Fan'er, there is no reason to plan a good way for others. How to enter the palace?"

Concubine Zhen's face changed slightly. She didn't know before that Concubine Hui, who had always been taciturn, was so eloquent.

Concubine Hui still had a calm expression. How could she not understand Concubine Zhen's thoughts? She could not fight or snatch, or be unknown, but if these people wanted to hurt her son, she wouldn't be able to do it without a hundred of them. willing.

She is just a mother, a mother who can hold a spear and a shield for her son.

Seeing what Concubine Zhen wanted to say, Concubine Qi glanced at her lightly, "Okay, okay, today we are here to enjoy the flowers, and we will talk about the things outside."

Concubine Qi spoke like this, and Concubine Zhen's original unattractive expression gradually dissipated, and a smile appeared on her face again.

She looked at Concubine Qi, and smiled again, "I'm afraid, sister Qi Concubine is not just asking us to enjoy the flowers today."

Concubine Qi smiled, "Admiring flowers is true, but besides appreciating flowers, there are indeed other things."

Concubine Zhen's eyes lit up a little. In the past few days, she still noticed some movements in Lama Temple, and she also had some guesses in her heart. Just as she was thinking, Concubine Qi made a show of embarrassment to the nanny behind her. Waiting for the people who were waiting outside to come in, seven or eight court ladies came in, each of which was holding a pile of rolled papers in their hands, and they all came to the water pavilion.

"Put it down." The nanny said, then turned around and said to Concubine Qi, "Your Majesty, what you ordered has been done."

Concubine Qi nodded, "Okay, put the things down, let's all go down."

"Yes." The seven or eight maids put down the papers in their hands, bowed in unison, and bowed their heads back.

Concubine Qi didn't say what was in the paper, but Concubine Hui had some doubts in her eyes, before she asked anything, Concubine Qi said, "Concubine Yi, Princess Jin'an and Princess Ningyang haven't arrived yet? "

As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of a palace maid came to report from outside the water pavilion, saying that it was Princess Yi, Princess Ningyang and Princess Jin'an who had arrived. After speaking, she saw Princess Yi with Princess Wuyang and Princess Jin'an He and Princess Ningyang entered this water pavilion in the imperial garden.

After several people saluted one after another, the water pavilion became lively.

After sitting down again, Princess Ningyang said, "Why are you all gathered so much today? Could something good happen?"

Princess Ningyang is the youngest and most beloved sister of Emperor Yuanchang. No matter who she is, they respect her very much. Hearing what she said, Concubine Zhen covered her lips and said, "I think it's not only a good thing, but also a happy event, right?"

Concubine Qi was also unambiguous, and said with a smile, "I used to be inaccurate in judging people, so I finally chose a marriage for the King of Chu, and it turned out..."

Concubine Qi did not hide it. Although she paused, everyone knew that there were too many rumors in Yongjia Imperial City these days. Although Ruan Yan was given to death, those rumors about her were not good. The rumors of her will not disappear because of her death.

Hearing Concubine Qi mention this matter, everyone tacitly stopped talking, and Concubine Qi smiled again, "The King of Chu is getting old, and he has been leading troops outside these years. He is back, but this important marriage event has made me worry for a long time. After the previous lesson, I dare not watch it by myself, so today I invite you to come and take a look at these nobles in Beijing. Girl, give me some advice, Concubine Yi and Princess Jin'an live outside the palace, they are still young, so they are always better able to know that their character is not good."

Concubine Qi's words are good, but everyone doesn't know. The reason why she was so optimistic about Ruan Yan before was because she was Ruan Song's daughter. Thanks to King Chu's life-saving grace, he had more contacts with Ruan Yan.

But since she said so, naturally she couldn't refute anything.

Concubine Yi and Princess Jin'an looked at each other, "Concubine Qi is joking, and your eyes are naturally good."

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "I can't see it alone, wouldn't it be better for you to see more."

Concubine Yi didn't say anything, and she didn't specifically agree, she just smiled, Concubine Qi didn't seem to say anything, she just asked someone to take the papers over for a look, and everyone was sure at this time, it turned out that they were all from many officials in the capital Portrait of the family's daughter of the right age.

Under the leadership of the nanny, several court ladies held a picture scroll and spread it out in front of them.

"Your Majesty, this is the second young lady of Mrs. Sun's family."

"This is Miss Zhou's family."

"Master Wang is still waiting for his sister in the boudoir"

"This is the granddaughter of Master Zhou..."

"..."

Every time Mammy took out a picture scroll, she would comment on the portraits on the scroll, and what she said was naturally the word-of-mouth of these ladies in the Yongjia Imperial City.

In fact, most of them are very well recognized, but among all the people introduced, no matter which one they are, either their official positions are a bit low, or even if their official positions are a bit higher, they are still some noble literati, such as some university scholars. some type of.

Nanny brought several portraits in a row, and in less than half an hour, she had already brought most of the scrolls to Concubine Qi and the others to see. Concubine Qi naturally nodded her head in admiration, but Didn't comment on any one in particular.

After this, Concubine Zhen finally said, "Sister Qi Concubine, I have watched it several times in a row, but I still don't see her nodding. It seems that she is not satisfied."

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "These ladies, I just watched, and they all think it's good..."

Concubine Zhen's eyes flickered, she covered her lips and smiled, "Yeah, all of them are good, but there is no one that my sister likes and is satisfied with, isn't it?"

These words were actually provocative. After hearing this, Concubine Qi just pretended that she didn't understand the provocation in it, and said with a faint smile, "The King of Chu is away all the year round, and the hearts of those who come down from the battlefield are always a little bit colder. These ladies Ah, that's good, I'm just afraid that the King of Chu won't know how to be considerate, but he's wronged someone else's lady, isn't he?"

Concubine Zhen sneered and said, "Look at what my sister said, the second miss Ruan was still unwell, my sister..." At this point, she stopped again, clapped her handkerchief quickly and said, "Look at me, what kind of pot is it? Which pot should not be carried."

Concubine Qi's complexion was not very good. Seeing this, Concubine Zhen hurriedly said to Concubine Hui, "Sister Hui Concubine, how are these girls?"

"It seems to me that everyone is good. It's just that knowing the son is better than the mother. Concubine Qi knows best what the King of Chu likes. Let's just look at the fate, how can we make a decision?" Concubine Hui said indifferently. road.

Concubine Zhen doesn't care, isn't it just to choose a concubine? Don't let so many people come to see it. Besides, these people brought today, these people are very good-natured, but they are all in the middle of the capital, even if they have high official positions. In the court, there is no one who has the right to speak. I am afraid that Concubine Qi is also a drunkard who wants to stay out of the bar.

Concubine Yi and Princess Jin'an just watched from the sidelines and didn't speak. They were not able to talk about such things. Besides, on weekdays, no matter which concubine she was with, Princess Yi was not close.

Princess Ningyang was the only one who could speak. Concubine Qi looked at her, and Princess Ningyang glanced at the portraits, "I see that these young ladies are all Huizhi Lanxin. If you have any undecided, choose A few you like, and then bring the portraits in front of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu will choose another one that suits your heart, isn’t it all right, let’s sit here and watch, what can we see?”

Concubine Zhen smiled when she heard it, as if she had suddenly realized, "The eldest princess is right."

Concubine Qi smiled helplessly, "That's right, since that's the case, I can only do this." After that, she paused and said, "Now, the princes are all grown up and old, but, let alone most of the mansions only have Concubines and concubines and concubines, there are indeed few concubines in the mansion, so I called the two younger sisters here today, and I also came up with the same idea. Don't blame me for making my own decisions. ?”

Concubine Hui was taken aback, but Concubine Zhen was not surprised at all. Seeing this, Concubine Qi said, "I heard from two brothers, King Su and King Huai, that King Xuan met the granddaughter of Jiang Taiwei's family several times today. "

Concubine Zhen naturally knew what Yu Wulin meant, but she couldn't say anything more at this time, and said with a smile, "Maybe it was just an accidental encounter."

"Oh, that's it, I thought..." Concubine Qi said.

Concubine Zhen laughed, "I think that Miss Jiang is pretty good. Now, the position of concubine in Prince Xuan's mansion has been vacant for many years. This year and next year will be good years, and I also intend to accept the concubine for Prince Xuan." .”

"It's just... Miss Jiang..." Concubine Qi looked thoughtfully at Princess Ningyang. She still remembered that Princess Ningyang had a lot of complaints about Miss Jiang last year. .

Princess Ningyang naturally knew what Concubine Qi wanted to say, but she didn't care, "It depends on one's eyesight, if King Xuan likes it, what can we say?"

"That's right." Concubine Qi said.

In the end, both of them looked at Concubine Hui in the future. After all, there are no concubines, side concubines and concubines in the residences of King Qing and King Ji. However, Concubine Hui has never been seen in a hurry.

Seeing this, Concubine Hui just smiled and said, "After worrying about it for so many years, these two children still go their own way, so I don't bother to worry about it anymore."

"You are open-minded." Concubine Qi smiled.

However, Concubine Zhen turned her eyes, "Sister Hui Concubine, you don't need to worry about it, I'm afraid you don't need to worry about it, but I know that the King of Qing has always been closer to Miss Ruan, the same acquaintance of the imperial study Yes, I don't know if it is..."

Her words meant something, Concubine Hui's face changed slightly when she heard it, "Sister, it's better to speak carefully, Ruan Tong knows who he is, and he can tolerate you talking nonsense like this."

Concubine Zhen was refuted several times by Concubine Hui today, and she immediately had a bad face, "It's not talking nonsense, I think back then, before Ruan Tongzhi entered the court, he met His Royal Highness King Qing outside, this is not for everyone Is it something everyone knows? Who in Yongjia City doesn't know that King Qing and Ruan Tongzhi are getting closer, if so, Sister Hui is really lucky."

Concubine Hui's face darkened slightly, and Concubine Zhen was even more proud when she saw this, and she wanted to say something, but Princess Yi spoke first, "According to Concubine Zhen's wishes, before Ruan Tongzhi entered the court, people who knew her It's all like this, then, speaking of my prince, he met Ruan Tongzhi earlier, and Ruan Tongzhi has been invited to the Yi Palace many times as a guest. Does the concubine Zhen also want to talk about Afu with my prince? "

Concubine Zhen's face was stiff, "Princess Yi was joking, it's two different things."

The meaning of protection in Princess Yi's words is so obvious, how could these people not hear it? Anyone can see Concubine Zhen's thoughts. No one can tell that the person related to her marriage will definitely show Emperor Yuanchang's support for this person in the future. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Ruan Fu's marriage will be related to water in the future, but that time has not yet come. , there will be no action. Now, Zhenfei's words are somewhat provocative.

Princess Yi continued, "My lords, please forgive me, let alone the King of Qing. Now that there are so many people in the court, who doesn't need to deal with Afu? The woman is one of the courtiers, if it is according to the wishes of the concubine Zhen, who else can Afu contact in the future, and how can he do things for His Majesty?"

Princess Ningyang had a bad complexion when she heard Concubine Zhen's words. She was defending Ruan Fu, so she glanced at Concubine Zhen lightly at this time, "It's better not to say such things in the future, so as not to spread to the emperor's brother. I'm afraid you don't like it too much."

Concubine Zhen's face was not very good-looking, Concubine Qi just stood silently beside her and didn't say anything, Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that those who admire flowers and look at portraits today are probably just floating clouds.

Princess Ningyang had just finished speaking when she heard Emperor Yuanchang's steady voice outside, "Why can't it reach my ears?"

The people sitting in the water pavilion were startled, they stood up quickly, and all went forward to salute, "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Get up, everyone, today is a lively day."

He didn't look at the others, but looked at Princess Wuyang, with a kind smile on his face, "Little Wuyang is here too?"

Wuyang was very close to Emperor Yuanchang on weekdays, so he hurried forward and said in a crisp and sweet voice, "Wuyang has met the emperor's grandfather."

But as soon as she raised her head, she saw Ruan Fu who was following Emperor Yuanchang, blinked, then grinned and said, "Aunt Afu."

Ruan Fu smiled at Wu Yang, Emperor Yuanchang just glanced at Ruan Fu when he saw this, he didn't say anything, he just went to the waterside pavilion.

This is the first time that Ruan Fu came to the harem with Emperor Yuanchang. She was originally dealing with matters in the imperial study, but she didn't know why Emperor Yuanchang said "walk with me" when she was supposed to leave. Then he went to the imperial garden.

This is the first time Ruan Fu has come to the harem, and it is naturally the first time these people in the harem have seen Ruan Fu so clearly, so they can't help but look at her. There have long been rumors outside that this Ruan Tong knows how alluring Looking at it now, it is indeed the case. In addition, Ruan Fu's usual attire is also a little more heroic. Now it seems that that alluring look is not entirely feminine, but more majestic and charming. Temperament of wisdom.

"I've seen a few empresses." Ruan Fu let his gaze rest on him and saluted.

"Ruan Tongzhi doesn't need to be too polite. I heard that Ruan Tongzhi is Huizhi Lanxin. Now that I see him, I really feel that what I usually see in this palace is just Xiaojiabiyu." Concubine Zhen laughed.

"Niang Niang praises it." Ruan Fu said lightly.

However, Emperor Yuanchang had already spoken, "Come and sit down too." These words were addressed to Ruan Fu.

"Yes."

Emperor Yuanchang glanced at the portraits that were still on the table, and Concubine Qi hurriedly said, "The concubine brought some portraits over today, and is planning to show them to the King of Chu."

Emperor Yuanchang nodded lightly, "I remember that you told me two days ago that this is the case." Then he frowned slightly, "They are all old, and they should be married this year and next year. It's too shameful that the concubine doesn't even have one, you should read more, and if you find something suitable later, tell me about it."

Concubine Qi smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuanchang nodded lightly, "However, how do you see today?"

"The courtiers and concubines all think it's good, but it's better to show it to the King of Chu."

Emperor Yuanchang nodded and looked at Concubine Hui, "The third child and the sixth child are not young anymore, you can't let them continue to mess around."

Concubine Hui hurriedly said, "Yes, my concubine understands."

But Wu Yang blinked, looked at Ruan Fu and said, "Concubine Zhen said that Aunt Afu has a close relationship with the third uncle. Concubine Hui is very lucky. Concubine Hui doesn't need to worry about the third uncle."

Originally, a group of people did not avoid Wu Yang when they were talking, and Wu Yang naturally listened to them all. Now, they also said in front of Emperor Yuanchang as if asking for credit.

However, as soon as Wu Yang's words came out, Concubine Zhen's face turned pale. Emperor Yuanchang's face immediately darkened, Concubine Zhen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty forgive me, my concubine's words were unintentional."

Although Emperor Yuanchang's face was not good-looking, he didn't say anything, and Concubine Zhen could only lower her head to the side all the time, with a worried expression on her face.

When Ruan Fu heard this, he glanced at Concubine Zhen indifferently, but did not speak.

Princess Jin'an blinked at her on the other side, as a signal that although Ruan Fu mentioned this incident, it did not cause any trouble.

Ruan Fu's lips twitched slightly.

Emperor Yuanchang didn't say anything about Concubine Zhen, but it was this attitude that made Concubine Zhen feel more uneasy. Emperor Yuanchang went to look at Wuyang and said, "Really, Wuyang has heard so much, what else, tell Grandpa Huang."

Wu Yang only knew that Emperor Yuanchang was praising himself, so he hurriedly asked for credit and said, "But the concubine mother said, Aunt Afu is different from other women, she has to get in touch with many people, if she gets in touch with everyone, she will be treated like this." Say, how can I work for Grandpa Huang in the future." Her tone and appearance are a bit old-fashioned, but she is imitating the example, which makes people laugh.

Emperor Yuanchang nodded lightly, Princess Yi just smiled and looked at his daughter who was not very sensible.

"Is there any more?" Emperor Yuanchang continued.

But Concubine Zhen's complexion was not very good-looking when he asked such a question, but she didn't dare to refute anything.

Wu Yang thought for a while, "Concubine Zhen also said, what does Uncle Wu like about Miss Jiang..."

Emperor Yuanchang raised his eyebrows, glanced at Concubine Zhen, and pinched Wuyang's face, "Wuyang is really smart, he can remember so many words."

"Wu Yang still remembers a lot." She recounted many of the comments made by the previous few people on the ladies of each family like a treasure, and she was vivid and decent.

Emperor Yuanchang didn't have much interest in these, but he still seemed to be listening with interest.

After Wuyang finished speaking, it was half an hour later, but Concubine Zhen's calf was already stiff.

After Emperor Yuanchang praised Wuyang a lot, he said to Concubine Zhen indifferently, "There are some things, you should understand what should be said and what should not be said."

These words were not serious words at first, but in the ears of several people, they were all a kind of warning.

Concubine Zhen still had some panic on her face, "The concubine made a slip of the tongue, and I will take this as a warning."

Emperor Yuanchang hummed lightly, and said, "As for the girl you mentioned, Lao Wu and the Jiang family..."

Concubine Zhen's face was pale, she was still thinking about when to find a better time to mention this matter with Emperor Yuanchang.

At this time, he didn't know how to answer, but Emperor Yuanchang said, "He is not too young, and he is not a reckless young man. He knows what he should do. If he really likes that girl, it's not impossible."

Concubine Zhen was a little surprised, but when Emperor Yuanchang said this, the expression on his face seemed normal, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty's teachings, I will remember to convey to King Xuan."

Emperor Yuanchang nodded lightly. He seemed to have just come here unintentionally. After talking with a few people, he said, "That's it, you go on, I'm leaving."

Ruan Fu didn't make a sound until Emperor Yuanchang was about to leave, then he followed Emperor Yuanchang and left.

Several people hurriedly got up to send them off.

　I have been working overtime for the past few days, so the posting has always been late... This kind of unstable day will probably last until mid-November...

　　Ah, Xiqing, this advertising dog!Feeling hollowed out...
