Donggong Zhangjiao

When Pei Yao came to Yuzhang Palace at night, everyone in the harem stretched their necks to look.

Seeing that Yujia really stopped outside Yuzhang Palace, many people gritted their teeth angrily.

When the emperor comes, doesn't it mean that Concubine Zhao wants to regain his favor? Of course she will be angry.

After all, none of the newcomers has established a firm foothold yet.

In Zhongcui Palace, Wang Cainu came in from the outside in a hurry. As soon as she saw Qiu Baolin's face, she was furious.

"You don't know, the emperor just went to Yuzhang Palace. He said that the imperial concubine knelt in Baohua Palace for half a day this afternoon, chanting sutras and praying for the emperor. She also asked the mage for a talisman and put it in a handmade purse. Send it to the emperor, he must be soft-hearted!"

Listening to these words, Qiu Baolin had a look of helplessness on his face.

"Sister, sit down, I already know about this."

"You know and you're still so indifferent?!"

Wang Cainu's butt just touched the embroidery stool, and suddenly it bounced up again.

"According to what I said, you should quickly claim your illness and feel unwell, and invite the emperor to Zhongcui Palace to see you. Otherwise, if the emperor meets Concubine Zhao and rekindles his old love, he will still be able to enjoy your kindness. Son?"

When she said this, she immediately pulled Rong Xiu over and told her to go. She didn't see a trace of boredom flashing in Qiu Baolin's eyes.

"Sister, wait a minute!" Qiu Baolin stopped Wang Cainu's movements, "Sister, you are doing this for my own good. I know that, but if I send someone to invite the emperor now, he will definitely not be able to invite him. On the contrary, he will even cause trouble for the imperial concubine. Such disgust."

"How could this be possible?" Wang Cainu frowned, "How did you get sick now? Isn't it because Concubine Zhao ordered people to treat your diet harshly and starved you all your life? The emperor knew it in his heart, and he felt sorry for you. As for you, you are not feeling well right now, and when the Emperor looks at Concubine Zhao, he will think of your grievances, so he has to leave Concubine Zhao to see you."

What she said was succinct, but Qiu Baolin still refused and whispered.

"When our people go to Yuzhang Palace, they must be able to see the emperor. The emperor finally went to Yuzhang Palace. The imperial concubine must be watched closely by people. How can people from Zhongcui Palace be allowed to come close? Bai Bai If you don’t talk about it, you will be disgusted again.”

"Then, then just watch the emperor and the noble concubine rebuild their old relationship?"

Wang Cainv seemed displeased.

After all, Qiu Baolin's glory during this period made her life much easier.

After being reprimanded by the emperor in the imperial garden, she was neglected by the palace people for a long time. She has never thought about that kind of life.

Entering the palace is originally to enjoy the blessings of fine clothes and fine food.

As if sensing her thoughts, Qiu Baolin took her hand and whispered.

"The emperor will not forget me so soon, and the imperial concubine will not do it either. If the imperial concubine is favored now, she may deal with me again. Then I will ask the emperor to make the decision. Wouldn't it be more effective?"

"Yes, at that time the emperor will definitely feel that the imperial concubine has not corrected herself despite repeated admonitions, and will become even more disgusted with her!"

Wang Cainv nodded with bright eyes.

Qiu Baolin smiled and said, "Yes, so sister doesn't have to worry about me anymore. By the way, the dining room sent a cup of pigeon soup for dinner tonight. I don't like drinking it, so I was about to ask someone to send it to my sister. My sister is here just in time, so let’s take it back and drink it while it’s still hot.”

Hearing this, Wang Cainu's mind immediately wandered elsewhere.

After picking up the pigeon soup, he returned to his residence.

After she left, Qiu Baolin's expression turned cold.

Rong Xiu also curled her lips, "This Wang Cainu, Baolin called her sister several times, she really regarded herself as a high-ranking person. Every time she comes back to our place, she even eats and drinks without being ashamed."

"Okay, it's just a cup of soup. It makes my ears quiet. What's there to worry about? Besides, she's still useful." Qiu Baolin said coldly.

Hearing this, Rong Xiu immediately closed his mouth and nodded respectfully.

At that time, in the Yuzhang Palace, Concubine Zhao, who had finally regained her favor, was currently nestling in the emperor's arms, enjoying the service of wiping her hair from the emperor himself. "Look, Your Majesty, how is the color of your nails that I have dyed today?"

Fang Yun raised his jade hands and waved them in front of Pei Yao.

"You look good. Your hands are white. The dyed cinnamon pill makes your icy muscles and jade bones even more beautiful." Pei Yao curled his lips and finally said, "Did you really go to Baohua Hall and kneel for half a day today? I told you, do this Just show off, you are weak and cannot withstand kneeling like this. Let me see if your knees are injured later."

Today, when I heard Hong Zheng say that Concubine Zhao knelt in Baohua Hall for half a day, Pei Yao immediately felt distressed.

If I hadn't come to Yuzhang Palace, the second princess and the fourth prince were both there, and the two little interruptions would have never given me a chance to ask, and I wouldn't have waited until I took a bath before I cared.

Fang Yun raised his head and leaned back, his eyebrows curved.

"It doesn't matter, Yuan He has put two futons for me. They are very soft and can be used on both sides. It is also good to kneel down and pray for the emperor and the two children. The talisman is not for show. , Your Majesty, remember to wear it!"

Seeing the charming and lovely appearance of the woman in front of him, Pei Yao could not help but raise the curve of his lips even more.

He lowered his head and placed a kiss on the woman's forehead.

"Okay, I know your thoughts, and I must cherish them. It's just that you have to look at your knees. In the past, you would be bruised if you bumped them. I've been kneeling for a long time. I don't feel it today. I might feel uncomfortable when I get up tomorrow. I'm still crying. Someone brought some ointment, I'll apply some on it for you."

"Then I, my concubine, would rather be respectful than obey my orders."

Fang Yun pursed his lips and smiled.

After cleaning up and lying down, Pei Yao talked about something else.

"A message from Shangyang Kingdom has arrived in Kyoto, but their people are also cautious. My secret guards have been following them, fearing to arouse the enemy, so they haven't intercepted it yet."

"It's a coincidence that this letter came. I'm afraid that Concubine Yan got the news and she should take action again." Fang Yun said seriously, "This is an opportunity to catch her flaw."

Pei Yao nodded.

"Yes, everything around Concubine Yan has been normal during this period. I promoted her to the throne and moved her to the palace. Although I successfully put some people in, Concubine Yan is cautious. These people are only waiting on the periphery and haven't been noticed yet. What useful news.”

"Concubine Yan has always been cautious, but the more cautious she is, the more serious the news they want to hide is. I boldly guessed that it may be related to the emperor's safety. Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to ask her to enter the palace? It hasn’t been done for so long.”

Fang Jun said in a low voice.

This was naturally what Pei Yao had in mind, so Pei Yao nodded and said.

"Shangyang Kingdom is determined to be a traitor, and I'm afraid there will be another war in the future. In the past two years, Daqi's treasury has been enriched by looting corrupt officials and beating up noble families. In addition to the indemnity paid by Shangyang Kingdom, it has become richer."

"But I'm afraid Shangyang Kingdom has also been preparing." Fang Yun sighed lightly.

When Emperor Chengjing was on the throne, Daqi was in a state of chaos, but the old king of Shangyang Kingdom actually managed Shangyang Kingdom into a powerful country.

If you take the initiative to start a war, you must have abundant food and grass and strong soldiers and horses.

If it weren't for the failure of the heirs and the prince deliberately causing civil strife in order to seize power and ascend the throne, I am afraid that Da Qi would not have gained anything from the war between the two countries at that time.

Pei Yao took over a mess and slowly started to clean it up, but Lin Chen, the king of Shangyang Kingdom, had a good hand since he ascended the throne.

Moreover, if the opponent ascends the throne after a defeat, he will inevitably have to fight again in order to consolidate his status and reputation.

But Pei Yao will naturally not back down.

After all, as long as Shangyang Kingdom is defeated, his throne will be secure.

Fang Yun could guess it, and Pei Yao could naturally guess it, so he whispered.

"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and earth. Let's take care of Concubine Yan first."
