Donggong Zhangjiao

They were both concubines in the past, and when Yang met Fang Yun, she naturally didn't need to bow.

Occasionally, just make a scene and greet each other.

But Fang Yun is now a noble concubine, two levels higher than her concubine, so Yang naturally has to lower her head.

This was the first time that Fang Yun felt that Lin Chan's words were not so unpleasant.

But Yang didn't think so.

At this moment, she wanted to tear Lin Chan's face to pieces.

But now that she has just been released from the ban and has not yet been reset, Fang Yun is in the limelight and it is not appropriate to offend her, so even if her teeth break her, she has to swallow it together with the blood.

Therefore, after twitching the corners of his mouth slightly stiffly, he bowed respectfully to Fang Yun.

"My concubine, please pay your respects to Concubine Zhao."

"Get up." Fang Yun waved his hand and covered his lips with a handkerchief. There was a touch of sarcasm in his smile, "You are not well yet. You will go out to the banquet just after you are released from confinement. Don't be unable to hold on and faint later. It fell down and scared the guests.”

If Yang Pin hadn't put so much powder on her face, her gloomy expression would have been visible at this moment.

But at this time, I just felt that her face was getting a little stiffer.

"The noble concubine is worried too much. Although I am a little weak, I have improved a lot after taking care of her for a long time."

"Best."

Fang Yun snorted softly and turned around to talk to Song Lingyi.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and it was immediately clear what the relationship between Concubine Zhao, the most favored concubine in the palace, was with the other concubines in the harem.

In fact, if it were a banquet for the harem women, Fang Yun would not let Yang go so easily.

But because the Queen was hosting a banquet today with the ministers' family members outside, Fang Yun did not want to leave a domineering image among the major families in the capital.

People can have likes and dislikes, and it's normal to occasionally target people you hate, but if you behave too domineeringly and let onlookers remember, no one will dare to get close to you in the future.

Today is not a good time, just behave appropriately.

And Fang Yun's behavior made Yang Bin particularly embarrassed.

It took a long mental adjustment to stabilize my mood.

He turned his eyes to the crowd and took the lead in walking towards Princess Dun and his mother Ruan.

"Princess, Mrs. Lin."

Yang Bin put on a gentle and warm smile and took the initiative to say hello.

The mother and daughter were talking together, and when they heard her voice, they turned around and responded politely.

"I've met Empress Yang."

"I haven't seen the princess for a long time. It's really enviable to see the princess looking so good. How are you doing, little princess? Are you here for the banquet today?"

Concubine Yang behaved in a normal manner.

Princess Dun also smiled politely, "Your Majesty, I am worried that Jingyi is naughty. Today happens to be the day when she is learning the piano. The master was specially invited by the prince and it is not easy to take leave for the banquet, so he did not come."

"It is appropriate to focus on studies." Yang Bi nodded, and finally waved to Si Qi, "Bring the things here."

When Princess Dun and her mother Ruan were confused, Si Qi had already held an exquisite brocade box in front of them.

"I only have one son under my knees. I was pregnant some time ago. I thought I would have a daughter and enjoy the blessing of having a son and a daughter, but I didn't expect that I would be unlucky."

After taking the brocade box and handing it over, Yang Bin's voice was low, and her eyes were red when she talked about the miscarriage.

"Forget it, let's not mention it. The thing in this box is a twisted silk Ruyi necklace specially made by a craftsman from my mother's family. I don't have a daughter. I asked the eldest daughter to follow the emperor and call Princess Jingyi niece. This necklace is... Give it to the princess, and please don’t dislike it, princess."

Upon hearing this, Princess Dun quickly declined. "It's necessary. Although I express my heartfelt wishes for you, this bracelet is too valuable, and I would never dare to accept it. I accept it for Jing Yi because of your Majesty's wishes."

In this era of underdeveloped industry, jewelry was made entirely by hand. Even if the twisted wire bracelets were made of gold and silver, they were extremely complicated and expensive, let alone those made of jade.

Naturally, jade cannot be drawn and woven, so the entire bracelet is carved out.

The process is more difficult and the price is naturally more expensive.

But Yang Bin insisted and put the brocade box into Princess Dun's hands.

"I have already brought the things, so there is no reason to take them back. If the princess refuses to accept them, I may be suspicious. Is the princess dissatisfied that I am unlucky, so she refuses to accept them."

Her words were both soft and hard, and Princess Dun had no choice but to agree.

At this time, Yang Bin immediately pointed her smiling face at the mother of Princess Dun next to her, the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the Ruan family.

"I haven't spoken to Mrs. Lin in private. I'm really happy to have this opportunity to get close to each other today. In the future, my brother will take my wife's niece, and our Lin family and Yang family will be considered in-laws. "

"Last time, my brother went to visit me at home. He said that my wife likes orchids, especially Chunjianhuangmei. It just so happens that I have one in the palace. It's a good plant. It's just that it's past the flowering period now. But take it back and take good care of it. It will still bloom next year. Well, it’s not convenient to bring her to the banquet right now. When the lady leaves the palace later, I will order someone to send her to the carriage."

When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she thought that it was useless for her daughter to refuse just now, so she stopped making unnecessary struggles now.

Anyway, they are determined to give it away, so how can you just walk away on the spot and insist on accepting it?

Not to mention that this is the palace, and moreover, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Yang Concubine is demoted, she is still a concubine. At the moment, the female relatives of foreign ministers cannot be offended.

Taking a step back, it is true that Yang Chengyu is engaged to the daughter-in-law of Lin's second wife. The Yang and Lin families are also connected.

So Ruan only responded respectfully and said a few more polite words.

Of course, after accepting this gift, I had to listen to Yang Bin say a few more words.

As for Yang Bin's words, they are inseparable from the third prince and the Nanning Marquis.

They are all smart people. How could they not know that Yang Bin wanted to support the third prince together with Prince Dun's Mansion and the House of Hubu Shangshu.

Just a few symbolic words, that's all.

Although Yang Bin was not satisfied with their vague attitude, she couldn't keep pestering them.

Enough is enough.

So I turned around and went to talk to other ladies from high families.

All this fell in Yan Wei's eyes, and soon it reached Fang Yun's ears in a secluded place.

At that time, Song Lingyi was sitting with Fang Yun in the pavilion, feeding the pigeons and playing with them.

After hearing this, she laughed, "She is really anxious, she has won over the ministers, not to mention that the emperor is in his prime, just thirty years old, and the third prince is only three or four years old this year, so he is planning a plan. ?”

"She has always been very ambitious, and you didn't just know that today."

Fang Yun raised the corners of his lips slightly, grabbed a handful of pigeon food and threw it out, and saw the white pigeons outside immediately surrounding him.

"Look, for just one bite of food, you can earn so much, let alone be the only one in the world to be honored."

"But the Queen has five princes who are healthy and legitimate, and there are also Lu family assistants. Now the only prime minister in the court is the Queen's father, Duke Hua."

Song Lingyi played with a jade pendant and said calmly.

In her opinion, the third prince and Concubine Yang had no way to compete with the queen and fifth prince.

But after she finished speaking, Fang Yun did not respond in a hurry.

His gaze slowly retracted, and then turned to where the queen was sitting in the distance.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "The Queen is very good, and the Lu family is also very good, but there is a saying that prosperity will lead to decline, and if it is too full, it will suffer losses. When the late emperor was still alive, he was restricted by the Queen's mother's family, the Li family, for many years, which eventually led to tragedy. , If we don’t want to make the same mistakes now, the Lu family may have to give up something in the future.”
