After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 290
If Jiang Liangdi was favored by her, she would not dare to laugh at Jiang Liangdi in front of the prince.

Anyway, Jiang Liangdi is out of favor now, so why not say a few words?
"Jiang Liangdi is not a burden, and she can do some work. As for being weak, it is not up to one person to decide. No wonder she." Yu Bing spoke for Jiang Shishi in a blunt tone, "Besides, she still..."

"Yu Bing, you've worked hard all this way, go back and have a rest, and I'll see you again someday." Just as Yu Bing wanted to say that Jiang Liangdi had unintentionally helped her and the crown prince avoid disaster, the crown prince interrupted her.

She had no choice but to shut up, and obediently replied "Yes", "You have worked hard all the way, so you should also take a good rest."

After speaking, Yu Bing bid farewell to everyone and entered the East Palace first.

Seeing this scene, the concubines and servants present were shocked.

It's really strange, they thought that Yu Liangdi and Jiang Liangdi going out of the palace to accompany the crown prince would be at odds.

With Yu Liangdi's icy temperament and martial arts body, Jiang Liangdi would be beaten up if she disagreed with her.

Who knew that Yu Liangdi, who was always cold, actually spoke for Jiang Liangdi just now?
Moreover, when Yu Liangdi first entered the East Palace, she was as cold as ice in front of the prince.

Now he is actually obedient to the prince, taking the prince's words as an imperial decree.

The prince told her to go east, but she dared not go west.

The prince told her to go back and rest, so she didn't dare to stay here for a while.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is skilled in courting daughters, even an ice beauty like Yu Liangdi can be subdued and submissive to him.

Concubine Su raised her head and looked at the prince with admiration.

For a man as gentle and handsome as the prince, both civil and military, powerful and powerful, not to mention Yu Bing, even her body and mind have already surrendered to this man.

"Your Highness, I heard that after you returned to the palace, someone prepared hot water early. Would you like to go to my place to rest? I can also serve you to bathe and burn incense to help you wash away the filth outside." Su The side concubine gently invited her pet.

The rest of the concubines had different expressions when they saw Su's side concubine inviting her favor in public.

This one just took the prince to her room to rest.

It must be because the crown prince is not in the palace these days, so the side concubine Su is feeling unbearably lonely?
Facing Concubine Su's invitation, Pei Xuanling nodded slightly, "Guzheng has this intention, since your room is ready, let's go take a bath in your room!"

All the concubines: "." I knew that they would also use this trick, but they have neither the beauty nor the courage and confidence of Concubine Su.

Even though side concubine Su succeeded in inviting favor, side concubine Ruan still said softly and virtuously: "Then I will serve your highness, my sister, and I will prepare a family banquet at night to clean up your highness."

Immediately afterwards, Pei Xuanling stepped into the East Palace.

Concubine Su followed shyly, and the two went to Concubine Su's bedroom together.

A group of concubines were left looking at the backs of the prince and side concubine Su, saddened.

The prince is gentle and handsome, and the side concubine Su is sexy and charming. The two have been dating for several months. If they were in the same room, it would be dry firewood meeting raging fire.

Jiang Shishi looked at the back of Prince Wei'an, this man didn't give her a look the whole time.

As if she was a stranger.

If it was a stranger, it would make sense if he didn't even look at her.

But they are not strangers, she and he once intertwined and hugged each other.

They also slept in the same bed and went through life and death together.

They also once depended on each other with lips and teeth, and made an appointment to raise their children together when the situation stabilized.
How long has passed, and the gentle and gentle man in the past turned a blind eye to her.

It felt as if she was an insignificant slave in this vast crowd, and she didn't deserve a look from him at all.

What's strange is that she, who has always been generous, actually felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, before this, she had already thought about it. When the prince returned to the palace, she must ask him why he left without saying goodbye.

Besides, she still had a lot of things she wanted to say to him.

But that man didn't even look at her directly. Facing him like this, she couldn't ask anything.

There are also those words that are hidden in the belly, but I don't have the courage to say them.

She was afraid that he would speak coldly to her or ignore her like he treated her.

I don't want to use my hot face to stick other people's cold ass.

"My lord, they are all gone, let's go back to Shiyue Pavilion too." Chun Xing stepped forward and took Jiang Shishi's arm.

Jiang Shishi regained her senses and saw that the concubines and servants were gradually dispersing, so she also entered the East Palace holding Chun Xing's hand.

On the way back, both master and servant were in a bad mood.

Chun Xing saw that the young master was in a bad mood.

Moreover, it is not a matter of a day or two for the young master to be in a bad mood.

Since the young master returned to the palace this time, she has noticed that the young master is a little restless, depressed, and seems to have something on his mind.

Every time she asked the young master, the young master didn't say anything.

She asked why the young master returned to Beijing separately from His Highness, the young master only said that people's hearts will change, and didn't say much about the rest.

At that time, she didn't quite understand the meaning of the young master's words, but now seeing the situation of His Royal Highness returning to the palace, she understood the meaning of the young master's words.

Obviously, when he was outside the palace, the prince chose Yu Liangdi between the young master and Yu Liangdi.

Now that he has returned to the palace, he probably has almost lost his sense of novelty towards Yu Liangdi, and he has fallen in love with the sexy and charming side concubine Su again.

In the past, if someone dared to speak of the young master in front of the prince, the prince would definitely reprimand him verbally.

But just now, Concubine Su teased the young master in public, and even Yu Liangdi, who was always cold, said a few words for the young master.

But the crown prince, as if he didn't hear him, interrupted Yu Liangdi who was speaking for the young master, and left side by side with Concubine Su.

In these situations, she felt chills for the little master, let alone the young master.

Heh, it seems that the little master is right, people's hearts can change, men's hearts are easier to change.

There is no enduring favor in this harem, it has always been rain and dew, newcomers laugh and old ones cry
**
On the day when the crown prince returned to the palace, the former court only knew that the crown prince was going to pay his respects to the emperor, and the father and son had chatted all morning.

However, no one knows what the father and son talked about.

Everyone only knew that this afternoon, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate funds to several places for the construction of water conservancy.

Then he ordered the cutting of the King of Shu's position as a vassal king, and sent people from the Ministry of Punishment to take the King of Shu to the capital for execution of the punishment of beheading.

Not only that, Emperor Jianyuan also severely punished dozens of officials in Shu.

Those officials ransacked their homes, exiled them, beheaded their heads.
In addition, several officials and sailors in Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, and the Yellow River area were also ordered to rectify by Emperor Jianyuan, and a group of people were directly replaced.
On the contrary, the King of Chu, Emperor Jianyuan conferred the titles of King Chu and his son with an imperial decree, and also expanded the area of ​​the King Chu's fiefdom.

In addition, Emperor Jianyuan claimed to be sick and asked the prince to supervise the country when he was unconscious!

The emperor's operation caused an uproar in the court.

Especially Mu Wangdang, people panic.

King Huai was so angry that he went straight to Prince Mu's mansion that day to discuss an urgent matter with King Mu.

"Brother, haven't we been wooing officials from the DPRK and China for a while? Originally, when the prince did not return to Beijing, many officials wanted to join us. As a result, when the prince returned to Beijing, the father directly asked him to supervise the country on his behalf, and those officials immediately turned their faces. People, you have no relationship with us, you have no credibility at all!"

Speaking of those officials' faces, King Huai became angry.

Those officials thought that the prince would die on the way back to Beijing, so they naturally accepted them ambiguously.

Now the prince has not only returned to Beijing, but also obtained the qualification to supervise the country.

And their Mu Wang party not only lost the King of Shu, a general, but also lost many soldiers and crab generals, and those officials turned their faces and refused to admit it.

Compared to the excited King Huai, King Mu looked calm, "The officials are all good judges of the situation, so it's not surprising that they repent temporarily."

"The crown prince must have put some eye drops in front of the father today, otherwise the father would not have severely punished so many officials at once, and they are all ours!" The emperor dealt with most of it in one day, and King Huai was quite heartbroken.

"There is also the King of Chu, long before the prince returned to Beijing, we gave eye drops to King Chu's son in front of the father, but the father has been delaying to deal with it. I thought the father was not clear-headed these days. As a result, as soon as the prince came back, the emperor rewarded the prince of Chu and his son."

"The son of the king of Chu has been dominating the land of Chu all the time, saying that he himself is the local emperor of Chu land, and all aspects are carried out in accordance with the emperor's standards. Even this father can bear it? And reward them father and son, what should I do?" Isn't it really sick and confused?"

"You think father is confused, but actually father is clear." Wang Mu played with his fingers, and said calmly: "Before we sued King Chu's son, father has not dealt with it. I guess he is waiting for the prince to return to Beijing. I plan to ask the prince about the situation, after all, the prince has gone to Chu this time."

King Huai: "The King of Chu has become the crown prince's lackey, and the crown prince will tell the truth. He must be covering up the son of the king of Chu."

King Mu: "The prince naturally spoke good words for King Chu and his son. On the one hand, the father was kept in the dark; Afraid of offending others, saying that he is not benevolent and unrighteous, he rewarded the king of Chu."

"This move is to prove to the world that he has not treated the vassal badly, nor will he punish the vassal for no reason. Everything is just what the king of Shu deserved."

Royal father, even if he is sick and confused, he is also shrewd.

"Let's not talk about that, it's okay that we didn't take his life when the prince returned to Beijing this time." King Huai clapped his hands regretfully, "It's Jiang Liangdi, our people are strictly guarding the inner and outer walls of Zhenjiang City. Or let her fly away."

"The key is Lao Qi who helped her escape from Zhenjiang. Lao Qi kept saying that he was tired of the intrigues in the court, and he only wanted to do his business. He rejected the olive branches offered by us and King Kang, but in the end, he helped the prince to send Jiang Liangdi. Back in Beijing, he doesn't want to participate in the government, he clearly looks down on us and wants to attach himself to the crown prince!"

They can buy officials from all over the country to murder the prince, and the prince's followers are all over the place.

With the two sides fighting, it is not impossible for the prince to escape from death.

But Jiang Liangdi was just a woman, and there were only dozens of people around Jiang Liangdi to escort her back to Beijing.

If Lao Qi didn't get involved, they would definitely catch Jiang Liangdi and use her to threaten the prince!

King Mu: "Since Lao Qi has become a princeling, we don't have to show mercy to him in the future."

"Alas, nothing has gone well recently." King Huai rubbed his brows tiredly, "Brother, you always said that you were not in a hurry when it came to fighting for the crown prince, but now the emperor is seriously ill, and the power of supervising the country has been taken away." Hand it over to the crown prince, if you don't rush to take measures, this world will soon belong to the crown prince!"

"There's no rush to compete for the heir. Before the royal father was in good health, it was even more urgent." Speaking of this, Mu Wang's usually warm eyes suddenly became dark, "Now that the royal father is seriously ill, we really have to Some measures have been taken, but we still need to wait for an opportunity."

An opportunity for him to win the heir apparent!

**
At the same time, the prince of the East Palace was sitting in the study, listening to Huang Dechang's report.

"Your Highness, during the days when you were not in Beijing, the Kangwang Party and the Muwang Party wantonly bought officials who were originally attached to us. The Kangwang Party is okay, if they can buy them, they will buy them, and if they can't buy them, they will give up."

Huang Dechang hunched over and reported the situation respectfully.

"Mu Wang's party is different, especially that King Huai, who is cruel and ruthless, and he will destroy the corners that cannot be dug. In the days when you are not in Beijing, he has killed three people who were loyal to us. officials, and killed many officials of the Kangwang Party.”

"As a result, many people who are unwilling to attach themselves to them are afraid, and they can only attach to them under pressure. However, now that you have returned to Beijing, there are fewer officials who are willing to attach to them. Presumably they will also restrain themselves."

His Highness had not been able to return to Beijing before. Those officials thought that His Highness would die outside. Most of the officials were willing to attach themselves to the Mu Wang Party. Only a few officials insisted on being loyal to His Highness.

Now most officials are unwilling to attach themselves to the Mu Wang Party, and even those who have already attached are beginning to favor His Highness the Crown Prince. It is impossible for the Mu Wang Party to kill all those officials.

Moreover, now that His Highness is in the capital, they have to think carefully about how to deal with the princelings.

But the Kangwang party, Kang Wang is far away in the western border, only the Ninth Prince is in the capital, I am afraid that the Kangwang party will suffer.

Heh, it is rumored that King Huai is cruel and King Mu is virtuous and tolerant.

Because King Mu has always been gentle and kind to others, no matter whether the prince is an internal or external courtier, or the servants and servants below have requests from him, as long as he can do it, he will lend a helping hand and never stand idly by.

According to him, King Mu was just doing superficial tricks, but he was actually a cruel master.

King Huai and King Mu have always been friends, so he doesn't believe that King Mu would not know when King Huai did those evil things?

Maybe, what King Huai did was ordered by King Mu!

It's just one singing a good face and the other singing a bad face.

Pei Xuanling: "Since they are trying so hard to buy our people, let's buy theirs too."

"What about officials who can't be won over? Shall we destroy them too?" In Huang Dechang's view, if the Mu Wang Party dared to kill princeling officials, they had to kill them back!

"." Hearing this, Pei Xuanling raised his head and looked at Huang Dechang sharply, "If the Mu Wang Party fails to win over the officials, they will get rid of them. If Gu is the same as them, wouldn't he be in the same category as them?"

"Your Highness said that it was a slave who wanted to go wrong. You and Mu Wangdang are not the same kind of people at all." Huang Dechang nodded repeatedly, and quickly changed his words: "Besides, as the prince, you now have the right to supervise the country. If you don't win over officials, they also want to submit to you."

"Not to mention that if you throw an olive branch at them, they will definitely join the princelings. It's not like Mu Wang's party, they are so laborious and unscrupulous to win over an official."

Pei Xuanling: "Remember, officials are for use, not for killing."

"Your servant will remember." Huang Dechang responded, "But those officials who were killed by Mu Wang's party, should that be the case?"

"Naturally, we can't let it go. King Mu's party killed the imperial court official. This matter must be reported to the emperor, but not now."

When he returned to Beijing today, he had already put eye drops on Mu Wangdang in front of his father, and his father also punished Mu Wangdang.

If he was in a hurry to report their impeachment to his father, he might arouse his disgust and feel that he wanted to take the opportunity to drive Mu Wang's party to a dead end.

And this kind of thing can only be handled by the emperor.

If he took revenge on Mu Wang's party in private, he might be turned against by Mu Wang's party, and he would not be able to tell why.

Pei Xuanling: "By the way, take some money from the warehouse, and take some time to visit those officials' homes."

Huang Dechang: "Yes."

Pei Xuanling: "There is also the land of Shu. You Feige wrote a letter and asked the disciples below to take all those Taoist temples, and then release all those women who were harmed. As for those Taoist priests, they will be killed!"

In the past, those Taoist temples had the backing of the king of Shu, but now the king of Shu has been demoted and taken to the capital for punishment.

And those mine owners were also ransacked and executed. At this time, it will be much easier to clear up those evil obstacles in the Taoist temple.

"Yes." Speaking of the land of Shu, Huang Dechang couldn't help thinking of the situation in which he escaped from death in the land of Shu, "This King of Shu now deserves what he deserved. When we were in the land of Shu, if Jiang Liangdi hadn't accidentally helped you avoid disaster, I'm afraid We will be planted in Shu."

Of course, he also intentionally wanted to help Jiang Liangdi win favor, "Oh, it was not easy for Jiang Liangdi on the way back to Beijing this time, and she was attacked by Mu Wang's party one after another."

"I asked you to talk about this?" Pei Xuanling interrupted Huang Dechang.

"The slave is talking too much, the slave deserves to die!" Huang Dechang slapped his mouth self-consciously.

This time he escorted Jiang Liangdi back to the palace safely and completed the task His Highness entrusted to him, His Highness didn't mention the unpleasant things before and ordered him as a slave as usual.

This made him feel that Jiang Liangdi was still very important in His Highness's heart, but there was some conflict between the young couple, and he wanted to resolve it.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Liangdi was mentioned, His Highness would be so disgusted.

"Your Highness, Concubine Ruan hosted a family banquet in our front yard, and all the concubines have arrived." At this moment, Xiao Quanzi came in to report.

"Understood." Pei Xuanling stood up and walked towards the hall.

"His Royal Highness." Seeing the prince appearing on the stage, all the concubines saluted together.

Pei Xuanling took a seat first, and said casually: "You don't have to be cautious about your own family banquet, let's all get up!"

The concubines: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Now that the princes had all appeared, Concubine Ruan asked the maids and eunuchs to start serving the dishes.

Every family banquet, the concubines' thoughts are not on the meal at all.

After all the dishes were served, Jiang Shishi was the only one who buried herself in eating.

The rest of the concubines either looked at the prince affectionately, or looked absent-minded.

Jiang Shishi was already a well-known foodie in the East Palace, so she stopped being restrained and ate with her stomach open.

While Jiang Shishi was concentrating on cooking, the concubines had already followed the old rules and began to present gifts to the prince to celebrate the prince's safe return to Beijing and the right to supervise the country.

By the way, you can also take the opportunity to invite pets.

After all, the crown prince has been away for several months, and it is definitely not enough to just rest at Su's side concubine for an afternoon.

Naturally, they have to rely on their own abilities to fight for the chance to serve in bed tonight.

As a concubine of the East Palace, Jiang Shishi also prepared a meaningful gift for the prince early on.

However, it was her turn that the high-ranking concubines had to give presents first.

First of all, Concubine Ruan said with a gentle smile on her face, "His Royal Highness, it has been very hard for you to patrol the water conservancy in various places. In my spare time, I made a painting of you inspecting the water conservancy to relieve the pain of lovesickness." .”

As soon as the voice fell, the maid next to Concubine Ruan opened a picture scroll.
