Queen's scheming

Chapter 436 Camellia Banquet ([-])
Prince Cheng's Mansion was originally a residence bestowed by the Empress Dowager, and it was right next to the palace, while Princess Yuexuan's other courtyard was built along the mountain, and what he wanted was the quietness of the mountain, so it was a little far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital. Far away, and it was winter again, Princess Qinya's chariot walked for nearly an hour before arriving at Princess Yuexuan's other courtyard, Wuxuezhai!

The chariot enters from the main entrance of Wuxuezhai, and stops in front of the Chuihua Gate, and transfers to a warm sedan chair, which is considered to have arrived at the place after turning around.

Princess Qinya was worried, so she didn't care about it, she just muttered something in her heart, she felt that Princess Yuexuan's Wu Xuezhai seemed a little too big, and she had been sitting in the warm sedan chair for so long, but she thought again , this Wuxue studio was originally awarded by the queen to Princess Yuexuan, so it probably couldn't be too shabby, so I didn't think about it any more.

When Princess Qinya got off the warm sedan chair, she felt that something was wrong. If it was a camellia feast, the front of this house was too quiet. There was a maidservant in green onion coat in front of her. Princess Qinya Suppressing his confusion, he walked calmly all the way.

After passing through Chaoshou verandah, the maid actually led herself to a main hall. Before Princess Qinya could ask her, the little maid sang her name, lifted the tulip-purple cotton curtain, and invited Princess Qinya to enter the hall.

Princess Qinya walked in, turned around the glazed flower-and-bird screen in front of her, and finally understood why she came here, because the person sitting first was not someone else, but Shen Qingyi who Gu Yiran had always been thinking about!
Princess Qinya bowed to Shen Qingyi, and met with An Qingyao before she could sit down safely.

An Qingyao seemed to know what Princess Qinya was thinking, so she took advantage of the time when the maid was serving tea, and said with a smile, "Princess Qinya, don't mind, the lady next to her is still in her head, the imperial concubine Duanjing rewarded you with thin noodles, come here in person I am inconvenient to host the banquet, so I will take a rest in the back hall first, and wait until it is time to have dinner there, and then I will go there. Coincidentally, the queen's empress is out on a tour in modest clothes, and the county is thinking, let Qinya The princess is coming to see you too!"

Hearing this, there is still something that Princess Qinya doesn't understand. Gu Yiran's idea has indeed come true. The Camellia Banquet is really to convince her. I only heard An Qingyao call herself Princess Qinya, not Princess Cheng, you will know!
Princess Qinya originally had a deep hatred with Gu Yiran. The reason why she can still sit here is because she wants Gu Yiran to pay a price, and this price is not death. Duke Zhen thought that he had taken revenge when the person next to him was disabled, but Princess Qinya didn't think so, that was a cowardly way of revenge!The real revenge is to prevent him from getting what he wants, and to burn what he has worked so hard to get!
Princess Qinya looked at Shen Qingyi with a smile and said: "What does my wife care about? Originally, my wife was impatient to deal with those wives, so it is reasonable to talk freely with the empress and princess, just like at the beginning In the Cihui Palace, there is no difference!"

An Qingyao smiled lightly, what Princess Qinya meant was that she still had her original intention, so things should go smoothly!

An Qingyao stood up, bowed to Shen Qing Yifu and said, "Qingyao also rested for a while, after all, Qingyao insisted on organizing this camellia banquet, if only the imperial concubine Duanjing was busy in front of her head It's Qingyao's fault, why don't you let Princess Qinya and the empress sit here for a while, and Qingyao go ahead and take a look."

Shen Qingyi nodded lightly, and An Qingyao was served by the maids to the main hall in the backyard, taking away all the maidservants in the back hall by the way.

Seeing that only Yuji was left in front of Shen Qingyi, Princess Qinya understood that Shen Qingyi wanted to talk to her alone, so she said softly: "Empress, please don't worry, these two maidservants in front of my wife are my father's servants." My dead warrior will never betray me!"

Shen Qingyi looked at the two maidservants behind Princess Qinya, nodded and said: "Han Qi Khan really loves her very much, and even helped the princess think about such things!"

Princess Qinya lowered her head slightly. Han Qi's father, emperor and queen mother treated her like jewels and treasures. Even though he made such a mistake at the beginning, he still did not give up on her. Over the years, the Han Qi Dynasty, the young Boxing gifts are sent every year, getting richer and richer every year, without interruption!
Princess Qinya smiled wryly: "It's a pity that those youthful days are gone forever!" If I had a choice, would I come to Dali again?Princess Qinya couldn't help asking herself.

Shen Qingyi sipped the tea lightly, and looked at Princess Qinya. She was obviously five or six years younger than her, but now her face was full of determination and sorrow. The days in Prince Cheng's Mansion were tormenting for Princess Qinya Bar!
Shen Qingyi couldn't help but think of Su Mama's words, that Princess Qinya had ordered several sets of clothes and jewelry in Suzhai, all of which were identical to her, except for those things that only belonged to the queen's ceremony, and the homely clothes beside her. It is almost fixed with jewelry!
Shen Qingyi understood even with her fingers, what is Princess Qinya doing?Princess Qinya's hatred for Gu Yiran is so deep, and she still needs to suppress her hatred, and pretend to be herself in front of Gu Yiran, how hard it takes!
"Not necessarily!" Shen Qingyi looked at Princess Qinya with a smile and said, "Perhaps in a few years, the princess will be able to return to Han Qi, and continue to live a life of peace and freedom."

Princess Qinya looked at Shen Qingyi incredulously, she was very clear about Gu Yiran's actions, Gu Yiran wanted to rebel, this crime, no matter whether it was in Han Qi or Dali, was a crime of confiscating one's family and destroying one's ancestors. As a concubine, even Duke Yang's mansion would not be spared. Princess Qinya never thought that she would be able to go back alive. She just wanted to die with Gu Yiran!
Princess Qinya shook her head, smiled brightly at Shen Qingyi, and said: "My wife understands what I have done, and also understands what the lord has done, I am afraid that I will never go back again, if the empress empress is merciful, I can let you After the minister's wife dies, it is the greatest kindness to be buried in her native land, and the minister's wife understands it!"

Shen Qingyi put down the teacup in her hand, pursed her lips and said, "Han Qi Khan and the princess love you so much, and your own younger brother, the Seventh Prince, is a sensible man. Could it be that they will not accept you?" No? I remember, Han Qi’s customs are not as conservative as Dali’s, so you should be able to go back!”

Princess Qinya was taken aback. If it was Han Qi Khan and the princess, she hoped that she could go back, but when that day came, who would be Han Qi's next Khan?It's fine if it's the seventh prince, he is his own younger brother, so he welcomes him, but how can the first prince and the third prince depend on him?The eldest prince and the third prince have been competing for the seat of Khan for many years, how could they watch the seventh younger brother, a weak man, become Han Qi's Khan?
Qinya shook her head, and said in a muffled voice: "My wife knows it well, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back again!"

Shen Qingyi said very firmly: "I said, if you can go back, you will definitely be able to go back, unless your father, queen mother and your own brother don't accept you!"

"What does the empress mean?" Qin Ya tightly held the handkerchief in her hand. If she could return to the vast grassland and continue to live a carefree life, it would be good. She hated Gu Yiran It's true, but it's not even for the sake of hating myself. If I can get revenge without burning everything, I am willing.

Shen Qingyi stared at Princess Qinya with a pair of dark eyes like a deep well, and said calmly: "This palace made it very clear that the Seventh Prince will be the next Han Qi Khan, and he is your own younger brother. You want to return to Han Qi, no one can stop you, have you forgotten your aunt's example? Didn't she return to Han Qi to live a good life after the death of the first emperor?"

"But my wife's situation is different from my aunt's!" Princess Qinya blurted out.

"It's no different, it's just that my palace and the emperor feel the same, and other people's opinions can't influence the thoughts of this palace and the emperor!" Shen Qingyi said calmly to Princess Qinya.

Sitting in the armchair with begonia pattern, Princess Qinya felt that she was shocked, and she reacted for a while before saying, "But the seventh brother can't take the seat of Khan, my eldest brother and third brother will definitely not Agreed. The empress doesn't know that the elder brother of the minister's wife is in charge of the general's seal, and the third brother is in charge of Han Qi's general affairs. The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. If he makes a move, he will lose his head or lose his life!"

Shen Qingyi picked up the teacup on the side as if nothing had happened, took a sip of the tea and said: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Seventh Prince is a serious descendant, no matter how powerful the First Prince and the Third Prince are, they are all A concubine who wants to ascend to the throne, the name is not right and the word is not right!"

"No, no, it's not like that! Back then, my wife's seventh younger brother was weak, so my father helped my elder brother and third elder brother to come out. My seventh younger brother was cut off from that seat since he was a child, and my mother and queen only I want my seventh brother to grow up safely, and I don't expect that seat!" Princess Qinya waved her hands again and again, feeling that Shen Qingyi's idea is really unbelievable!

Shen Qingyi glanced at Princess Qinya, and asked back: "According to what Princess Qinya saw, if either the First Prince or the Third Prince ascends to the throne, can the Seventh Prince, a legitimate prince, live a leisurely life? No dispute, It doesn't mean that the First Prince and the Third Prince feel that the Seventh Prince is no threat!"

Princess Qinya was silent for a moment, and she had to admit that Shen Qingyi's words were very reasonable, and she thought for a while before she said: "But Gu Yimeng, the concubine younger sister of Lord Cheng, is now the Seventh Prince's Concubine, and the empress is sure to let Gu Yimeng know that she is a concubine. Do you also obey the Queen's order?"

Shen Qingyi nodded in satisfaction. Princess Qinya is very smart, and quickly found the key to the problem. Shen Qingyi did not answer Princess Qinya's question, but asked instead: "Then, is Princess Qinya sure that the Seventh Prince follow your orders?"
