A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 120
"Sister, don't take Concubine Leng's words to heart. According to my sister, Miss Qianyue is a blessed person. It is said that 'blessed people do not fall into the land of no blessing'. Some things still depend on the emperor's will. It's just a word from the son, so it's still uncertain." Concubine Ming hesitated for a moment, but seeing the empress' expression was unhappy, she persuaded her in a gentle voice.

"Sister thinks I'm unhappy because of this?" The queen raised her eyebrows lightly.

"Isn't sister?" Concubine Ming was startled.

The queen shook her head, looking at the lotus in the mandarin duck pool, Concubine Ming also followed the queen's gaze, and saw a group of mandarin ducks playing around the lotus, she said with a smile: "These mandarin ducks are so cute."

"Sister Ming, did you only see the cuteness of the mandarin ducks? Did you not see anything else?" The queen smiled lightly, and without waiting for Concubine Ming to ask, she said, "This pool of mandarin ducks is like this palace, and the mandarin ducks in this pool are like us. Competing and playing every day is nothing more than self-entertainment, how do you know what kind of world the scenery outside the mandarin duck pool is?"

Concubine Ming's heart was shocked, she looked at the queen, lowered her voice, "Sister, what is the emperor like? Is it the lotus in this pond?"

"Your Majesty? Huh..." The Empress shook her head with a smile, "The Emperor is the moon that occasionally falls in this pool of mandarin ducks. You can see it, but you can't touch it. Even when you grow old, we won't be able to catch that moon."

Concubine Ming's complexion changed slightly, she turned her eyes and glanced around, only to find that there was no one else, her face was stained with a smear of injury, "Sister is right, this mandarin duck pool is like this imperial palace, and the mandarin ducks in this pool are like this palace. Just like us, the emperor is the moon that occasionally falls in this pool of mandarin ducks, we are trapped here for the rest of our lives, and the person who traps us will never be caught by us."

"Since this is the case, sister Ming, do you still think that I will be sad because Yue'er can't be a queen? This is just a cage. Because when the first emperor was born, there was a woman who was the first emperor's lifelong love. In the past hundred years, there have been several daughters born in Prince Yun's mansion. Since the first emperor, who is the emperor who is as infatuated as the first emperor? But it's just love and affection. The queen's position will end with me. It's not bad." The queen said slowly.

Concubine Ming was silent for a moment, then sighed: "According to this, if Miss Qianyue does not enter the palace, will she be truly blessed?"

"Yeah! I envy Yue'er. She doesn't know anything. She doesn't know etiquette. There is nothing wrong with it. There is at least one advantage. Maybe it can save me from locking the nine-fold palace gate. I always thought she was naughty before." I don’t listen to discipline, and I’m also annoyed because she doesn’t know how to learn and doesn’t behave like a lady. But now I suddenly don’t think so. If I could be like her back then, maybe I wouldn’t be sitting here waiting to wither and die of old age .” The queen said again.

"Sister, stop thinking like this, if the emperor knows about you..." Concubine Ming persuaded in a low voice.

"Your majesty? Huh!" The queen sneered, and turned to look at Concubine Ming, "Sister Ming, do you think you are happy? You have been favored for 20 years, and many people in this palace envy you, but do you think you are happy? ?”

Concubine Ming lowered her eyelashes, remained silent for a while, then shook her head.

"This is it! Even you feel unhappy, who else in this palace is happy? This is a golden house, and we are slowly waiting to be exhausted by it." The queen looked at the sky, "I It was destroyed, but I don’t want any daughters of the Rong Palace to be destroyed here.”

"Sister, the ancestral precepts of the first grandfather are not so easy to abolish. In my opinion, the emperor's attitude towards Miss Qianyue is very strange. And now that Prince Jing and Prince Ran are protecting each other, the emperor's thinking may be quite different from before. .”

"So what's the big difference? What the emperor only cares about is the imperial power." The queen seemed a little tired, and she didn't want to talk any more. She smiled at Concubine Ming: "Sister Ming still has hope. You have at least three daughters, and I have no daughters." No children." Once the words were uttered, it was indescribably desolate.

Concubine Ming's eyes were sour, "My sister still has me, as long as my sister is here, my sister will not be helpless."

The queen's complexion was slightly warmer, and the sharp eyes in the past showed a touch of softness, and she said guiltily: "If it wasn't for me, you would not have been taken into the palace and trapped in this cage for 20 years."

"Sister, don't talk about it, I volunteered back then. My sister saved me, and Zihan will never forget it. If there is no sister, where would I be? Now I have stolen every day of my life, and I am content." Concubine Ming Shake your head.

"Back then I sneaked out of the palace to save you. It was the greatest luck in my life, and marrying into the royal family was the greatest misfortune in my life. I have nothing else to ask for in this life. I only hope that Prince Yun's Mansion will be safe and sound in my lifetime, and I am satisfied." The queen said quietly.

"It's a pity that Prince Yun doesn't like Qing Wan. If Qing Wan can marry into Prince Yun's mansion, the emperor will love Qing Wan the most. Maybe he won't... It's a pity that Qing Wan is so ill now, let alone win Prince Yun's heart..." Concubine Ming said.

"Sister Ming, why don't you understand until now? Even if Qing Wan wins Mu Han's heart and marries into Prince Yun's mansion, will the Prince Yun's mansion be safe and sound?" The queen's voice was cold, "Why am I childless? Why are you childless? Why? Concubine Leng has no children? Why did the concubine of the fourth prince and the concubine of the crown prince die early? Why was the only talented mother of the seven princes in the royal family uprooted? Why didn’t the emperor promote his concubine all these years? Why did those young princes have no children? How much do you rely on? One thing after another over the years, sister Ming, how much you have heard and seen, is it not enough for you to understand? The emperor has no intentions, and the relationship between father and son will be used by him at any time. He What he wants is for the country to last forever, with the imperial power in one body, and the heir he wants must be penniless, resolute, resolute, and not controlled by any relatives."

Concubine Ming stood up in shock and looked at the queen in disbelief, "Sister..."

The queen stopped talking, and looked away at the Palace of the Holy Sun, "Qing Wan likes Mu Han, and I'm afraid it will be fruitless if she likes Mu Han for another ten years. You'd better find a way to let her stop here! So as not to delay the child's happiness, twist her The melons are never sweet. What is happiness, we are all people who have experienced it, you should know. Also, the sixth princess likes Jing Shizi, I am afraid it is also a delusion, if you don’t want to cause an unmanageable situation, you have to stop it in time. In fact, Princess Seven's illness has always been a heart disease. She witnessed the assassination in Wenbohou's Mansion back then, and it was a miracle that she survived. Find a chance to come to Rong Feng to let her meet. Rong Feng is Wenbohou's Mansion after all. It may be an opportunity for her to speak, and maybe she wakes up from the big dream."

"Sister said yes, I get it! These three daughters originally thought that Xiaoliu would make me feel more at ease, but I don't think she actually thinks about Jing Shizi. Even if she is a princess, how can she be worthy of Jing Shizi? Even if the emperor Intentionally pointing at the marriage, if Jing Shizi doesn't like it, it won't work." Concubine Ming was shocked for a long time before she sat down slowly and said worriedly: "What if the emperor allows Miss Qianyue to marry Rong Feng?"

"That would be even better! Although I haven't met Rong Feng yet, since he is a descendant of Wen Bohou's mansion, he is naturally not bad." The queen smiled, "Yue'er has been unpredictable since she was a child. , she always does unexpected things. This time the emperor probably didn't expect her to make such a fuss."

"Miss Qianyue used to be at odds with Qing Wan, but she was very good with Xiao Qi. Every time she came to the palace, she would go to see Xiao Qi, and she would also go to my palace for a sit-down. Now I see that child doesn't seem to know me. It seems like she didn't say a word when she saw me, and she hasn't been to Xiao Qi's place for a long time." Concubine Ming laughed, "Could it be that elder sister offended her and she hated me as well?"

"Probably so! She has always been weird, maybe she was really scared that day in the viewing garden. My father wanted to use the prince to test the emperor's mind, but he made me a villain. That little girl hated me for more than a month. Now that I have begged for that green warm jade from the emperor, I can't let her stay for a moment, so you really hate me." The queen said and laughed.

"After all, she is young, so she will always understand the painstaking efforts of her elder sister." Concubine Ming laughed.

"It's okay if you don't understand. I always remember my sister-in-law's instructions." The queen took a look at the sky, stood up and stood up, "It's noon, let's go back!"

Concubine Ming nodded and also stood up, the two of them got out of the mandarin duck pool, surrounded by a group of maids, nuns and eunuchs, and walked towards the palace.

After the group left, Yun Qianyue leaned out from behind a rockery, looked at the direction where the queen and concubine Ming were leaving, and frowned slightly.She originally planned to leave, but on a whim, she wanted to hear what these women had to say after she left, so she sneaked back and hid behind the rockery.Although the distance was far, she understood lip language and naturally heard everything they said.She reached out and rubbed her forehead, digested the information she heard, and walked towards the palace gate.
