Chapter 1297: Stirring up cooperation
I didn't want to, but I heard news from the palace people in the evening: the emperor ordered the imperial dining room to give food to the palace of the prince of Zhongxin County and the mansion of the eldest princess......
Xiao Guifei was so angry that she didn't faint because of chest tightness and shortness of breath, damn, it's really hateful! What does the emperor mean by this? Didn't you just feel dissatisfied with the Lu family boy? Why did you give the imperial meal again in a blink of an eye?
The emperor rewarded the imperial meal, how much grace is this? Even these concubines can't enjoy it twice a year.
What does this mean? It shows that the emperor is still in favor of the Lu family boy, otherwise why would he have such a move?
If you think about it carefully, this is obviously because I am afraid that I will make it difficult for the Lu family boy, so I remind him, right?
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Guifei is even more uncomfortable.
Silver Fang bit secretly, and almost didn't even have dinner.
And Lu Zhan, who didn't know that his image had almost been flawed in the emperor's uncle's heart, and when he heard that someone from the palace was rewarding the imperial meal, the two of them were still confused, and they couldn't figure out what the emperor meant?
Obviously neither of them has entered the palace today, and nothing special has happened, where did the emperor's reward come from?
In the end, it was Qiao Xiaoru who said: "This shouldn't be a reward for King Yanqi, right?" He was the only one in the palace today. ”
Lu Zhan shook his head: "The father-in-law in the palace will not be so confused that he can't even say a clear word, if it is really given to King Yanqi, he will naturally say it clearly!" Forget it, the emperor's uncle has a heart, let's just accept the kindness. ”
Qiao Xiaoru smiled, this is.
The next day, Concubine Xiao Guifei asked someone to secretly deliver a few words to Concubine Mei of the East Palace.
Concubine Xiao Guifei would not use methods such as writing letters to leave her tail for Concubine Mei to hold in her hands, but agreed with her at the beginning on the way to contact her.
Concubine Mei didn't agree explicitly, but she didn't refuse either, and she kept paying attention.
Therefore, Xiao Guifei's people asked her to meet, and she knew it as soon as possible.
Originally, she planned to let the people around her go, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so it was better to go herself.
After seeing Concubine Xiao's people, Concubine Mei was a little preoccupied, sneering slightly from time to time, and her eyes flickered.
Xiao Guifei said that there was a way to help her get rid of the fetus in the crown princess's womb, but before that, she had to do her a favor first......
Why should she believe her? Helped her, what if she repented and didn't admit it? I didn't have any evidence to question her.
However, Xiao Guifei's words were like a magic spell, lingering in her mind from time to time, making her heart feel uneasy.
Since the crown princess became pregnant, she tried every possible way, and she didn't know how many ways she wanted to harm the child in the princess's womb.
However, the crown princess was surrounded by experienced old ladies and medical women sent by the queen, plus Qiu Rong, Qiu Yue, etc., to protect the crown princess's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she didn't dare to do it too obviously, so she racked her brains and didn't think of any useful methods.
Now that Concubine Xiao Guifei actually told her that she had a way to make her wish come true, you can imagine how great this temptation is.
What if what Concubine Xiao said is true? Wouldn't I have to regret dying? Even if she lied to herself and helped her once, so what? Just buy a lesson......
The more Concubine Mei thought about it, the more moved she became, and finally made up her mind. She's going to take a gamble.
If it does, it is equivalent to removing a great hidden danger and threat; If it doesn't work, at most it will be a little loss, which is nothing.
So, the next day, Concubine Mei smiled and gave the prince an idea, March is a good time to go out, King Yanqi lives in a foreign country, has never experienced the spring of the capital, why not make an appointment with the princes, princesses and princesses to travel together?
Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also increase the emotional ......
The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "Zhen'er's idea is good, speaking of which, since the king of Yanqi came, Gu hasn't accompanied him much!" It's just that the other brothers don't have to go with it. ”
Concubine Mei smiled and said: "The prince's words are wrong, it's not the concubines who talk about people behind their backs, how can several princes compare the princes?" The prince is not above everyone regardless of temperament, appearance, and talent? In contrast, wouldn't it be better to set off the prince? Besides, my father is also happy to see the prince and the princes! ”
The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, laughed and nodded: "Zhen'er is really getting smarter and smarter, and after some analysis, it is reasonable, and Gu can't find half a word to refute." Okay, then according to what Zhen'er said, Lone will post today to invite the brothers! ”
Concubine Mei was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "The concubine is very good to see the prince's Chunxing Garden, the other courtyard in the eastern suburbs, why don't you go there?" ”
The prince became more and more happy when he heard this, and smiled again and again and said yes.
Chunxing Garden, as the name suggests, was originally built for a trip to spring, and it is naturally best to go there.
These annexes of the East Palace, all year round, there are special people to take care of and guard, so there is no need to clean up, today I will send someone over to say, let the people prepare some tea and snacks, the kitchen is ready to prepare dishes when the time comes.
As for the princely brothers, they are all his courtiers, and he sent them a post today to invite them to travel the day after tomorrow, who dares to say that they are not available?
Of course, since he invited King Yanqi to go with him, Lu Zhan must be with him.
Plus the ladies also went, so the Qiao family naturally went together.
As for the crown princess, she is pregnant, but it is inconvenient to travel.
The prince thought about it, and smiled at Concubine Mei: "Go and tell the princess alone, Ming'er will take you with you!" Since it is a lonely east, the sisters-in-law and siblings all go, and it is not good to have a hostess to entertain them. ”
The prince values himself so much, Concubine Mei is naturally happy in her heart.
However, since Concubine Mei knew that there would definitely be an accident that day, she didn't want to join in the excitement, so as not to get into trouble.
It's better to be virtuous and generous, so he smiled and said softly: "The princesses all know that the crown princess is pregnant with the imperial heir, and even if there is no hostess to entertain her, she will definitely not have an opinion in her heart." My sister is pregnant so hard, the concubine should stay and take care of her, talk to her to relieve her boredom, if she goes out on a spring outing with the prince, wouldn't it seem that my sister is wronged? Besides, the concubine heard that the pregnant woman is sensitive and suspicious, and she likes to think crankily, if the sister who is harmful thinks too much, it will be the concubine's sin! It's good for the concubine not to go......"
The prince was moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but hold Concubine Mei's hands tightly, and sighed with a smile: "Zhen'er is really getting more and more sensible!" But how can you be called lonely and not hurt you? Zhen'er rest assured, when the crown princess gives birth to her eldest son, we will also have children! ”
"As long as the prince has an heir, the concubine will be satisfied, what does it matter if the concubine is born or not!" Concubine Mei smiled.
