Chapter 69: Rumors
There was a rumor in the harem suddenly, and Princess Guantao and Concubine Li, who were not familiar with each other, suddenly became warm. And often go to Changle Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and there is a statement from Princess Guantao. The Queen Mother's attitude towards Concubine Li has also changed a lot, and people in the palace have speculated that the Queen Mother is afraid that she also likes Liu Rong as the crown prince.
Many courtiers who were originally on the sidelines also joined the prince's power group. Dou Ying and Liu Hui's homes are often crowded with cars and horses, and courtiers from all walks of life have gone to join the knots.
Concubine Li's elegant residence Xiaozhu was almost stepped on the threshold, and the wives of the ministers kept coming to visit, which made Concubine Li not annoyed, but she was still a little proud in her heart. The Queen Mother's attitude finally softened, and the prince's position became more and more stable. The situation has never been so good, and there have been a few times when Concubine Li dreamed that she had become the queen mother.
Dreams are dreams after all, and no matter how sweet a dream is, there will be a day when you wake up.
"Sister, my sister has something I want to tell you today."
After more than two months of honeymoon period, Princess Guantao and Concubine Li are already as good as honey blending oil. Naturally, they are called sisters.
"Is there anything else that can stump our eldest princess, say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely say yes. ”
"What do you think of my Gillian?"
Princess Guantao brought it up bluntly.
"Gillian has a more lively temperament, but it will be good to marry and become a wife in the future."
Concubine Li heard Princess Guantao say that her precious daughter, so she had to say some flattering words with a clear conscience. The daughter of Princess Guantao is almost unknown to everyone in Chang'an City. There is no edge to the shop. Last month, I actually went to the cattle and horse market and lit the tail of a cow.
The red-eyed bull frantically slammed into a qiē along the way, waiting for the forbidden army to kill him. Several people have already been injured, and the Niuma Market has become a mess.
Liu Qi looked at his little niece and had no choice, so he had to ask Yin of Chang'an Mansion to pay more money to appease the matter.
"Sister, it's good that you can think like this, my sister wants to marry Gillian to Liu Rong and kiss her, what do you say?"
When Princess Guantao saw Concubine Li say this, she immediately became excited. grabbed Concubine Li's hand and kissed herself.
"Uh......"
Only then did Concubine Li know what it meant to lift a stone and hit herself in the foot. I finally understood why the princess of the pavilion, who usually doesn't interact much, suddenly became warm with herself. It turned out that she was worried about the throne of the crown princess, and when she was a girl, she dared to burn Changle Palace. If you become the crown princess and become the queen in the future, you won't have to order this Weiyang Palace.
Even if it was against his will, he agreed. How should Zhou Yafu explain!
Princess Guantao saw that Concubine Li's face changed three times in a row. Hurriedly asked, "Isn't my sister unwilling?" ”
"Uh...... This ......"
Concubine Li was even more embarrassed, in the past two months, she really saw the relationship between Princess Guantao and the Queen Mother. Without the help of Princess Guantao, the Queen Mother's attitude towards herself would not have changed. Liu Rong's prosperity in the past two months has a lot to do with the easing of the Queen Mother's attitude. If the relationship with the Queen Mother is bad again. Concubine Li was a little frightened when she thought about it.
After all, I have been in the harem for so many years. Concubine Li knew this was a tricky matter. Encounter something like this. It's easier to procrastinate than to refuse.
"Sister, I also like Gillian, but you also know that Rong'er is the prince. I can't tell all about him, so it's good to make a decision after I discuss it with Taifu. ”
At the critical moment, Concubine Li pushed Dou Ying out. This old fellow is scheming, and it is necessary to discuss it with him.
"Yo, this is my abruptness as a sister. Although my sister discussed, Taifu was not an outsider, but my cousin. Presumably he will also support such a close marriage. ”
Princess Guantao has always had a good relationship with Dou Ying, and she thinks that discussing with Dou Ying is just a formality. Dou Ying will not and has no reason to oppose this marriage.
"Uh......"
Concubine Li was dumbfounded by Princess Guantao's self-confidence.
Dou Ying is living very comfortably these days, and her elderly aunt seems to have changed her attitude. This is good news for the prince, and in Dou Ying's opinion, the prince has already gained a firm foothold in the court.
"What is the princess of Guantao who came to propose."
Dou Ying was speechless when she heard Concubine Li's words.
This choice is really too difficult, if you want the support of the Queen Mother, you will offend Zhou Yafu, once Zhou Yafu is annoyed and angry, she shakes out the marriage book. Not only will the crown prince fall, but he and Concubine Li will also finish playing immediately.
"It's better to find Da Honglu to discuss together."
Soon, Liu Hui also rushed to the palace. Several high-ranking leaders of the princelings began secret deliberations in the prince's east palace.
"What? That's how it can be good. ”
Liu Hui's reaction was much more intense than Dou Ying's, and he jumped up immediately after hearing the bad news.
Da Honglu was a little restless, and the mother did not refuse. Isn't this a consultation with us? Let's try our best to think of a perfect way, and it's best not to offend either side. ”
"There is only one position for the crown princess, but there are two candidates. You can't marry both of them as the crown princess, the original marriage book stated that the crown princess was canonized. If there is a change, I really don't know how angry Zhou Yafu will be. ”
Liu Hui's words reached the hearts of everyone present, and this was almost an unsolvable problem.
The matter of promising Zhou Yafu's daughter to be crowned the crown princess cannot be made public, and it is not possible to let people know that there is a fateful marriage book. Dou Ying regretted the original decision, and it was just enough to give a verbal comfort, but now it is too difficult to regret it in black and white.
"Taifu, Da Honglu, no matter what, you have to hurry up and think of a perfect way. This palace can only be delayed for a while, not for a lifetime. If Princess Tao asks again, how should I answer? The Queen Mother's attitude has just eased, if she offends Princess Tao because of this matter. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother's attitude will change again, if her old man is angry.
I'm afraid that the situation inside and outside the palace will change unexpectedly. ”
Concubine Li is very anxious now, it is very likely that Princess Guantao will enter the palace tomorrow to ask questions. She really didn't know how to answer when the time came.
"Don't worry, mother, let me wait to think of a foolproof solution. But remember, you can't offend Princess Guantao. Within these two palaces, the only one who can walk unimpeded in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. If she stumbles behind her back, it won't be able to prevent it. ”
Dou Ying hurriedly explained the stakes of the matter to Concubine Li, he was really afraid that Concubine Li's confused nature would come up, and his words accidentally angered Princess Guantao and offended the person who should not be offended now.
"This palace knows, I just shirked and didn't really reject the eldest princess. The palace still knows which is more important, so don't worry too much. Let's think about it quickly. ”
The three of them discussed secretly in the secret room, but a rumor had begun to spread quietly in the palace.
"You know what? Princess Guantao proposed to Li Niangniang, but was pushed and dragged by Li Niangniang under the pretext. When Princess Guantao is gone, what do you guess Li Niangniang said? ”
"How?"
Li Niangniang said that Princess Guantao's wealth fan is not a woman, what kind of daughter can a mother like her teach. also said that the gillian in their family is crazy, and if she gives birth to a stupid son in the future, it will not spoil the foundation of the Han Dynasty. I want to take advantage of it, I want to go crazy, I still want to be the princess and the queen in the future, and do her big dream of spring and autumn. ”
"No, the eldest princess is a celebrity within the two palaces. Li Niangniang dared to scold her like this? Chew your tongue. ”
"Lie to you what to do. Li Niangniang also said that she will be the queen mother when the prince ascends the throne in the future, and there are more princesses of the Han Dynasty. But this queen mother, she is the only one. Could it be that you are still afraid of a princess for the queen mother? ”
"You say that as if you heard it."
"I listened to Li Niangniang's personal girl Ying'er, is this still fake. I think it must be Li Niangniang who doesn't agree to this marriage, so she let out her mouth. forced the eldest princess to back down automatically, and neither side lost their faces. ”
"Well, that seems to make sense."
"Hey, I've heard about it......"
