Chapter 1018 325 Competing for Favor (One More)
"Why are you looking for Ben Gong in such a hurry?"
In the Dongnuan Pavilion of Linhua Palace, Han Lingfu lifted up his clothes and sat down on the golden nanmu chair above. He looked at Cui Yanyan gently but distantly, his tone and expression showed a hint of indifference.
Cui Yanyan sat on the armchair at the bottom, a sullen look flashed in her eyes, but she was blocked by the maid who served tea.
After the palace maid withdrew, she replied softly: "Your Highness, we are going back to the palace with the emperor soon, and the concubine thought that the residences of sister Xiao'er and sister Qiyi should also be arranged in advance, so I want to discuss with His Royal Highness. Where is the arrangement right?"
As soon as he heard the return to the palace, Han Lingfu's face sank, and the emperor's words echoed in his ears: "...After returning to the capital, you will immediately leave the palace and open the palace!" His hands unconsciously clenched into fists. .
Cui Yanyan naturally noticed Han Lingfu's change, but thought he was doing it for Bai Muxiao again.
The day that Bai Muxiao entered the door had already passed into Cui Yanyan's ears, which made Cui Yanyan's heart extremely complicated. On the one hand, she was glad that Bai Muxiao was stupid enough to drive the third prince away, and on the other hand, she became jealous of the clothes, but no matter what, her biggest enemy now was Bai Muxiao. Going through the door was what she wanted. At first, she thought she needed to make another plan, but now it's just right.
Cui Yanyan also figured it out, and now she will simply follow those two people to fight, she only needs to sit and reap the benefits of the fish.
Taking a step back, even if the clothes are really favored in the future, a Baiyue person will never be able to surpass himself.
She originally chose to dress for this reason.
"His Royal Highness," Cui Yanyan continued observing her words, "Concubine thinks about sister Xiao'er and sister Qiyi, so I will temporarily be wronged and live in the Zuobian Palace. When the mansion opens in the future, Concubine will arrange a new courtyard for them. , what do you think, Your Highness?"
Han Lingfu absently picked up the blue-and-white porcelain cup, took a sip, and thought to himself: I won't be able to stay in the palace for a few days anyway, so what's the difference where I live?
He said lightly: "Just follow your arrangement."
Seeing that Han Lingfu rarely agreed with her, Cui Yanyan secretly rejoiced and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness." After a pause, she said again, "Your Highness, there is still something to report about the concubine body. Today, the Empress summoned the concubine body and gave her The two maids are for sister Xiao'er and sister Qiuyi. The empress means that the two sisters had better learn the rules of the school before returning to the palace."
Han Lingfu frowned slightly, the empress's scruples were right, and the rules in the palace were cumbersome.
It's just, with Xiao'er's temperament...
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu suddenly felt a bit of a headache, fearing that Xiao'er would be conflicted.
"His Royal Highness," Cui Yanyan said after seeing Han Lingfu's silence for a long time, "If Your Highness is not happy, then the concubine will send her back?"
Han Lingfu shook his head: "Leave the people behind. After all, this is the Queen's kindness." How can the people given by the Queen be so easy to retire, if they really want to retire, then they have to wait for Xiaoer and Qiyi to learn first. Say the rules.
"Yes, Your Highness." Cui Yanyan bowed and replied, feeling slightly relieved: If this really wants to send people back, then it would be nothing but offending the Queen.
She twisted the handkerchief in her hands, but fortunately Han Lingfu was not so fascinated by the beauty that she fainted. As long as Han Lingfu doesn't get confused in important matters, she will always have a way to clean up that Bai Muxiao.
Thinking about it, there was a smile in her eyes, but she saw Han Ling stood up abruptly, flipped on her robe and said, "If there is nothing else, then Ben Gong will leave first."
Is he unwilling to stay here for a moment? Cui Yanyan's smiling face almost froze, but at this moment, a palace maid came in and reported, "Your Highness, Concubine Bai and Concubine Qiyi are here to greet you."
It turned out that it was time for dawn and dusk.
Hearing Bai Muxiao's arrival, Han Lingfu suddenly looked hesitant. Cui Yanyan seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, "It's a coincidence. Your Highness, why don't you have dinner with your concubine and two younger sisters before leaving..."
Thinking that he never had a chance to talk to Bai Muxiao after she passed the door, Han Lingfu finally nodded.
Cui Yanyan was both happy and angry, but she could only smile and said, "Quickly invite the two sisters in."
After a while, Bai Muxiao and Qi Yi walked in from outside the house side by side.
"I have seen Your Highness, Sister."
Li Yi bowed his knees to Han Lingfu and Cui Yanyan with impeccable Da Yu etiquette, while Bai Muxiao, who was beside him, didn't say a word, and just followed the movement of Li Yi to be blessed.
In response, Cui Yanyan didn't say much, just smiled and asked them to get up and take their seats.
"The two sisters came just right, and the Queen Mother gave two maids today..." Cui Yanyan repeated to Qi Yi and Bai Muxiao that the queen gave the maids to teach them how to behave.
A maid quickly led the two maids into the room. The two maids on the left were taller and wore a plain-faced robe in the color of a lake;
As soon as the two entered the room, they saluted in a proper manner: "The slave and maid have seen His Highness, the imperial concubine, and the two side concubines."
After Cui Yanyan asked them to get up, she pointed at the taller mama and said, "This is the tall mama." Then she pointed at the round-cheeked mama and said, "That's Ruan mama." Then she smiled, "Since it is The maids given by the empress must be all good. Then Mammy Ruan will follow Sister Xiaoer, and Mammy Gao will follow Sister Zhiyi."
"Yes, Concubine." Ruan and Gao hurriedly saluted, then walked to Bai Muxiao and Qiyi respectively, and stood behind them after saluting.
"His Royal Highness," Cui Yanyan asked Han Lingfu, "it's getting late, do you want to have dinner?"
Han Lingfu nodded and said, "Let's pass the meal."
As soon as the master spoke, the servants serving in the house immediately went down and ordered people to pass meals.
Bai Muxiao's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
Cui Yanyan glanced at Bai Muxiao, and said deliberately and generously, "Sister Xiao'er, and sister Xiaoyi, too, let's all have a meal together."
Li Yi quickly bowed his knees and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness, sister for your grace."
Bai Muxiao watched coldly from the sidelines, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. It's just to keep them for dinner. This dresser actually regards this as a gift. What Baiyue Saint, once she is a concubine, she has so easily discarded her former identity and arrogance. I used to think highly of she is!
At this time, a little maid came in and announced that dinner was ready, and everyone went to the side hall to eat.
A table of hot ten dishes and one soup has been served. The royal chef took action, and naturally every dish is exquisite and delicious.
Han Lingfu was the first to sit down with his robe lifted. At this time, Yingying Yingying stepped forward and asked Ying, "Let's put the clothes on for His Highness and sister today."
According to the rules, when eating in the main room, the concubines need to make rules, usually that is, serving dishes, serving tea, serving and gargling.
Bai Muxiao also thought of this, her eyes turned cold, but she didn't move.
Cui Yanyan looked at Qi Yi with a smile, and said affectionately, "Sister Qi Yi, we are all in the same family, you don't have to be so ostentatious, just sit down and dine with us." She seemed to be a virtuous and generous concubine.
Bai Muxiao watched Cui Yanyan and Li Yi sing with an almost detached attitude, with contempt and bitterness in her heart. She could understand what tricks Cui Yanyan was playing. Cui Yanyan probably wanted to use this to warn herself that she was always just a side room!
Nangong Yue is a dignified prince and concubine, but she is always just a concubine!
Thinking of this, Bai Muxiao felt a throbbing pain in her heart again. She had no idea what to eat this meal...
After dinner, the servants removed the leftovers as quickly as possible, and then served the masters with hot tea and snacks.
After taking a sip of hot tea gracefully, Cui Yanyan said softly, "Your Highness, it's getting late, so it's better for Sister Xiao'er to serve His Highness tonight, what do you think?"
Han Lingfu's black pupils suddenly shone brightly, and her brows showed joy. She eagerly looked at Bai Muxiao, only to think that Cui Yanyan finally recognized her status gradually and became more sensible.
It is a matter of course for the wife to arrange for the concubine to stay in a large family, but Bai Muxiao's body trembled slightly and her pupils shrank suddenly. What does Cui Yanyan mean? He even got involved in the affairs of himself and Han Lingfu's boudoir! Does she see herself as a prostitute?
Bai Muxiao was both humiliated and angry in her heart, and said coldly, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not too late to serve Your Highness after Xiao'er has learned the rules."
He didn't arrive at Xiao'er first, but he was still unwilling to forgive himself... A flash of disappointment flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, what should he do before Xiao'er could forgive him for his unintentional loss.
Cui Yanyan smiled gracefully, "Sister said yes."
She thought sarcastically in her heart: I really don't understand what this Bai Muxiao was thinking. He didn't let Han Lingfu into the room that night, and now he's doing the same trick again! Even if it's playing hard-to-play tricks, it's really too much.
However, for Cui Yanyan, Bai Muxiao's stupidity is the best.
Han Lingfu was upset because of Bai Muxiao's refusal, so he made a random excuse and went to the study.
Now that Han Lingfu was gone, Cui Yanyan didn't have any interest in dealing with Bai Muxiao and Qiyi, so she sent them back.
Bai Muxiao took Ruan Mammy and the maid back to her room in a complicated mood. Whoever wanted to enter the room, Ruan Mama, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, suddenly changed her face, looked at her arrogantly and said: "Bai Fang Concubine, this servant was given by the Empress to teach you the rules, do you know how many mistakes you made just now?"
Bai Muxiao's face turned cold, but she didn't speak, and Mammy Ruan didn't expect her to say anything, she continued: "Bai Fangfei, as a side concubine, you should serve the Zhengfei food, just now, the side princess took the initiative. Why didn't you make peace when you offered to serve dishes for the prince concubine? The prince concubine generously asked you to dine with her and His Highness. It's not a small day, how can you say no to His Highness?" She shook her head and said sternly, "It seems that it is not only the palace rules, but you have to learn all the rules from scratch, so as not to embarrass the third prince and the prince's concubine! …”
Bai Muxiao remained silent, sarcasm in her heart: It's a rule again! In the end, whether it's the queen or Cui Yanyan, that is, like the Yu family, trying to use the rules to suppress herself!
At this moment, Bihen came to report: "Girl..."
As soon as she exited her mouth, she was sternly interrupted by Mammy Ruan, "It should be called Concubine Side!"
Bihen shrank her body and changed her mouth quickly: "The concubine, the concubine, the concubine is here to ask you to see you."
Dress up? Bai Muxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
But……
She glanced at Nanny Ruan and nodded, "I'll go see her."
Qi Yi was waiting in the main room, and when she saw Bai Muxiao entering the room, she stood up and blessed her gracefully, "Sister Xiao'er, I'm just a few years older than you, so I'll call you sister!"
Her every move makes it impossible to find faults, but in Bai Muxiao's eyes, it is hypocritical.
"Who is your sister!" Bai Muxiao looked at Qi Yi coldly, "What are you doing here?"
There was a trace of injury in Li Yi's eyes, he took a deep breath, and said again: "Xiao... Concubine Bai, I just wanted to explain to you that that **** and His Highness were really framed by Xiao Yi..."
Bai Muxiao's eyes widened, and she looked at Qiyi with a fierce look, she actually still mentioned that day to herself!
In an instant, the scene of putting on clothes and sleeping with Han Lingfu crossed her neck that night reappeared in front of Bai Muxiao's eyes again, her fists turned into fists unconsciously.
Qiu Yi didn't seem to notice, and continued: "His Royal Highness has always felt guilty and felt sorry for Concubine Bai. Hey, Concubine Bai, you really shouldn't have rejected His Highness and hurt His Highness just now, His Highness is really wholehearted with you. , I have never had a hint of dissent! A man as dedicated as His Highness is the only one I have ever seen in my life..."
The more Li Yi said, the more Bai Muxiao's heart ached. Han Lingfu was his own man, so what right does Li Yi have to stand in such a supreme position to reprimand him!
"Enough!" Bai Muxiao coldly interrupted the dress, "I can't understand His Highness's feelings for me. It's a pity that there are always some wishful thinking and self-deprecating people who think about things that don't belong to me. '!" She looked at the dress contemptuously.
"Concubine Bai, how can you..."
Qi Yi looked at Bai Muxiao hurt, with tears in his eyes, turned around and rushed out of the main room, but almost collided with a man outside the room...
"Your Highness..." Qi Yi looked at Han Lingfu with tears in his eyes, with infinite grievance in his eyes, and quickly ran away with a handkerchief covering the corner of his mouth.
"..." Han Lingfu tried to stop her, but heard Bai Muxiao's cold voice coming from inside the house: "Why don't you go after her?!"
When he said that, how could Han Lingfu go after him? He sighed, and for the first time he felt a heavy feeling that he didn't want to look at Bai Muxiao.
When will Xiaoer learn to grow up and learn to be sensible?
Han Lingfu rubbed his brows, turned around slowly, and said, "Xiao'er, what you said just now is a bit too much... Qiyi is also a victim..."
Han Lingfu came to Bai Muxiao to ask for peace because of the persuasion of the clothes, but he didn't expect to hear the words just now.
He actually spoke for the dress! Bai Muxiao's first feeling was that her heart was burning, but she noticed the tiredness and dissatisfaction in Han Lingfu's eyes.
She can offend Cui Yanyan, she can scold Qi Yi, she can ignore the rules... But the premise of everything is that she must firmly grasp Han Lingfu's heart.
Now she is alone and helpless, all she can ask is Han Lingfu to protect her.
Bai Muxiao half lowered her eyes, her cherry lips slightly pouted, and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, I can't like her, I can't do it... Every time I see her, I think of that day..." Saying that, A layer of mist had already appeared in her eyes, which seemed very moving.
Han Lingfu's heart softened, his Xiao'er has always been strong, rarely showing such a soft side.
He stepped forward and gently took her into his arms, and said softly, "It's all mine. If I didn't take it lightly that day..." He repeatedly comforted Bai Muxiao, but he felt extremely tired.
During these days, everything went wrong for him, but Xiao'er didn't understand him, comforted him, and helped him make suggestions, but he was still entangled in these little things in the past. Xiao'er why is she becoming more and more careful, and why is she no longer the Xiao'er he knew...
Under the cold moonlight, the former lovers have different thoughts now...
The various turbulent waves in the Linhua Palace were naturally transmitted to the Queen's ears through the two maids, but the Queen just laughed when she heard it.
Without the queen's action, the three women in Han Lingfu's back house would not worry about it, and they could do a lot of things by themselves, and they only needed to watch the show.
While listening, the queen casually looked at the guest list in her hand. At this time, the palace maid came to report that the prince and concubine Zhennan, Miss Jiang, and Liushuang county master were here.
After a while, the three energetic girls walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion with their hands and hands, one in pink, one in green and one in purple. They all seemed bright and lively, and the more the queen looked at it, the more she liked it.
After the three of them saluted and sat down, Yuan Yuyi looked at the list in the Queen's hand and said, "If you are busy, Queen Mother, ignore us."
"It's nothing." The Queen glanced at Jiang Yixi with a smile, "It's just the guest list for the wedding." The niece's marriage has been twists and turns, and now it's finally time to get married.
Jiang Yixi couldn't help blushing, and Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi naturally heard what the queen said and exchanged glances with each other.
Nangong Yue said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to adding makeup to Sister Xi."
Jiang Yixi's cheeks were even redder, and she glanced at Nangong Yue angrily, as if to say that you also learned badly from sister Yi.
Yuan Yuyi pouted innocently.
Seeing the girls shoving and laughing, the queen smiled even more, and handed the list to Mammy Li.
The hot tea came soon, Yuan Yuyi took a sip of tea and sighed: "I can go back to the capital in a few days, I'm feeling homesick."
When she said this, not only Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi, but even the Queen moved. This time, the fifth prince was in the capital of the capital, and he did not accompany him. The queen had not seen the fifth prince for more than a month.
It's just that the accompanying team of thousands of people can't say that they will leave when they leave. These days, in order to pack up the ceremony, the accompanying servants are so busy that their feet are not touching the ground. On September 29th, the autumn is strong, and the emperor finally On the return journey.
When the huge team of thousands of people arrived outside the capital city, the sun had already set in the west.
The fifth prince led a group of civil and military officials who stayed in the capital to welcome the emperor back to Luan outside the city.
"My son welcomes the royal father's holy car, long live the father, long live."
The fifth prince led his ministers to kneel and salute to the emperor's chariot.
"The ministers welcome the emperor's holy drive, long live my emperor, long live."
The hundred officials behind the fifth prince also knelt down and bowed, and the shouts overlapped, as if the sky was shaken.
The emperor looked around for a week on Luan Jia, looking at the fifth prince and the ministers, in a good mood, and waved his hand: "Little Wu is free!
In addition to the hundred officials who came to greet the holy car, there were already a lot of onlookers at the gate of the city, but the Imperial Forest Army was under martial law, every ten steps at a post, keeping the idle and miscellaneous people on the side of the road.
After the fifth prince got up, he took a few steps forward and respectfully said to the emperor: "I have worked hard all the way, please enter the city."
"Xiao Wu, you have worked hard this time, come up and talk to me." The emperor said with a smile.
It is a great honor to be able to ride with the emperor, and it is also the emperor's favor for the five princes.
The fifth prince was naturally busy, and was busy with the emperor's carriage.
This scene was naturally seen by those princes and ministers, and secretly exchanged glances. First, the fifth prince was left in the capital to supervise the country, and now the fifth prince was put on the Luan Cha. There was no doubt that the Sacred Heart wanted the fifth prince to be the next heir.
The Imperial Forest Army opened the way ahead, and the emperor's Luan continued to move forward. The group entered the capital in a mighty manner, and all the ministers who came to greet the driver also joined the team, which expanded it a lot.
Xiao Yi, who was sent back to the capital in advance, was naturally one of the people who came to greet him. As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, he greeted her with a beaming expression, and got into her Zhu Lun car.
Although Xiao Yi was in the capital, he ordered someone to deliver letters to her every day. Therefore, Nangong Yue not only heard the news that Princess Yongyang's injuries were gradually recovering, but also knew that she recognized a pro-grandson who was said to have been abducted in her early years. The only drop of blood left in this world by her daughter.
Regarding Yong Yang's daughter, Nangong Yue had heard Fu Yunyan say that the eldest daughter, who was supposed to be the most precious and noble daughter of the princess' residence, was abducted and sold, and ended up being a slave and a maid, and she could not even die peacefully. Yong Yang has suffered for this all her life, and to recognize this grandson, she must be able to unravel the knot that has been stagnant in her heart for decades.
Nangong Yue was very happy for her.
When it comes to Yong Yang's assassination, Xiao Yi pondered for a while and said, "Grandma Yong Yang never brought anyone with her when she went to the sacrificial sweep, and the neighborhood is remote and no witnesses could be found. It's just that I think it's a bit strange that the assassin is the However, after one hit, why didn't you confirm the life and death of Yong Yang's grandmother..."
Nangong Yue guessed and said, "Could someone pass by at that time and startle him?"
"Maybe."
"Ayi, don't worry." Nangong Yue took his hand and said, "Grandma Yongyang is fine. Just check the assassin's affairs slowly, and there will always be results."
After ten days of separation, Xiao Yi thought about her tightly, feeling the softness and warmth of her palm, Xiao Yi's heart was hot, and he leaned over to kiss her lips.
Along the way, Zhu Lunche arrived at Zhennan Wangfu when the sun was setting. After a short rest, Nangongyue accompanied Xiao Yi to the Yongyang eldest princess' residence.
Fu Yunyan received the news and personally greeted them at the second gate.
Fu Yunyan's smile made her eyes crooked, her eyes gleaming, and she couldn't wait to say, "Ayue, my grandmother can sit up today, my grandfather just came to see it, and said that as long as you take good care of it, it will be ten and a half days away. You can get out of bed and move around in a month.”
After all, the eldest Princess Yongyang is already very old, and she is able to recover so quickly after suffering such a serious injury. Perhaps it is the answer to the sentence "Heart disease still needs heart medicine".
Sure enough, I heard Fu Yunyan say, "When cousin Yu came, my grandmother's illness was much better immediately."
While the three of them were talking, Wufutang arrived.
Yong Yang was sitting in the inner room, leaning on the bed, she seemed to be much better in terms of complexion and spirit.
But when Fu Yunyan saw her, she couldn't help but said, "Grandmother, didn't you just lie down and rest, why did you get up again!"
Although Yong Yang was able to sit, Fu Yunyan was overjoyed, but the injured person should lie down and not sit all day.
The maid next to Yong Yang hurriedly complained: "Sixth girl, you have to talk to your Highness carefully. What the servants say, His Highness will not listen and insist on getting up."
Yong Yang smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just a small injury. I think I was on the battlefield back then, no matter how serious the injury was, and I've never seen one lying down for that long."
That mammy is an old man who is serving Yong Yang. Naturally, these things are clear. It's just that this time is different from the past. Now Yong Yang is getting older and his body is getting lower and lower... But these words can't be said. of.
At this moment, the voice of a maid saluting came from outside: "I have seen Young Master Biao."
"Exemption."
Hearing this, Yong Yang was instantly delighted and said to Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, "Ayi, Ayue, let me introduce you to my grandson."
Nangong Yue nodded, her brows and eyes moved slightly, she always felt that the voices outside were a little familiar, she seemed to have heard it somewhere, but logically, she should not recognize Yong Yang's grandson...
