The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 285

Hearing this, the queen said in a bit of embarrassment: "It's not impossible to ask Concubine Le to help, but only with Concubine Le's consent. How can I make decisions on behalf of Concubine Le!"

The Crown Princess choked when she heard the words, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak up. Xie Xie glanced at the Crown Princess, and then said cautiously: "The Queen, it's rare that the Crown Princess has such a heart, since the Le Concubine doesn't know what to say. No help, why don't you invite Mrs. Liu to enter the palace to handle the banquet instead of the princess's sister, Mrs. Liu is the mother of the princess's sister, not an outsider, this matter is left to Mrs. Liu, and the queen can rest assured."

When the queen heard the words, her mind moved. She knew very well that this side concubine Xie would not speak. If she spoke, it must be something important or have other hints. However, the queen did not immediately reply to Xie side concubine's words, but remained silent.

The Crown Princess did not expect that Concubine Xie would take the initiative to mention the matter of letting her mother enter the palace to start the banquet, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Mother, Xie Concubine's idea is also good, and I ask Mother to agree."

The Queen was waiting for the Crown Princess to speak, and finally she let go and said: "You have all asked me here, if I don't agree, it is too close and unkind, I will leave this matter to you and Mrs. Liu to handle it!"

Seeing that the queen breathed a sigh of relief, the princess was overjoyed, and quickly thanked her: "After thanking my mother, I will send someone to invite my mother into the palace to discuss the banquet."

"You can handle this matter yourself. Since I have left it to you to handle it, I won't ask any more questions." The queen smiled and waved her hand disapprovingly.

If the goal is achieved, the Crown Princess will naturally not stay for a long time. Since Side Concubine Xie wants to flatter her, let her take more shots. She will always find a chance to deal with her, and the decision is made. If the side concubine is with you, the son-in-law will leave first."

"Go, you are pregnant, you have to rest and rest, and don't run around if you have nothing to do!" The queen replied straightforwardly, still not forgetting to tell the princess to raise the baby quietly.

The Crown Princess complied in a perfunctory manner, and slowly exited Fenglin Hall while supporting the female officer's hand.

As soon as the crown princess left, the queen dismissed the maids and servants who were serving in the palace, and then said to side concubine Xie: "Why do you ask me to agree to the request of the crown princess!"

Concubine Xie lowered her eyes respectfully and replied: "The concubine thinks that the Crown Princess never does useless work, and it must be something that is beneficial to her, so she will ask the queen again and again."

When the queen heard the words, there was a look of doubt on her face: "Then can you guess what benefits this banquet will bring to the princess!"

Concubine Xie shook her head distressedly when she heard the words: "I beg your empress to forgive me, my concubine is stupid, I don't know what kind of benefits this matter will bring to the Crown Princess."

When the queen heard the words, she smiled and said: "I said before that I like smart people. You must have a way to figure out the princess's little thoughts."

This is tantamount to giving a death order to Concubine Xie in disguise. Concubine Xie was neither angry nor annoyed, she just responded gently: "Yes, this concubine will definitely find out the deep meaning of the Crown Princess, please rest assured, Queen Mother."

The Queen likes this kind of smart and obedient people the most. Xie Concubine's obedience made her feel very happy, so she said kindly: "Go, I am waiting for your good news."

Concubine Xie resigned and left Fenglin Hall, and Madam Yang waited for Concubine Xie to leave before she whispered to the queen: "Madam Queen, is Concubine Xie's words really worth trusting? The princess is not so thoughtful, otherwise And I won't always come to the empress queen to beg you to give her justice because of jealousy."

When the queen heard this, she smiled thoughtfully and said, "Nurse Yang, don't underestimate Concubine Xie. She is alone, and she has survived safely under the influence of various factions in the Eastern Palace until now, and she has also taken the position of concubine. This is enough to prove that This woman has a deep heart, currently she doesn't have any backing, only the prince and this palace can rely on, so she will obey what this palace says, such an obedient and smart chess piece, why abandon it!"

When Mother Yang heard the words, she secretly thought that the queen was far-sighted, so she hurriedly laughed and said: "The queen is far-sighted, and this servant admires it."

The queen smiled triumphantly when she heard the words: "I have been sitting in the palace of the harem for many years. If I don't have some skills, I am afraid that there will be no bones left by those women. These are the means of survival in the harem. It is a last resort." For that."

Nanny Yang married into Prince Zhongyi's mansion together with the queen, and stayed with the queen in Fenglin Palace. She knows the pain in the queen's heart best. Knowing that the queen remembered the past, Nanny Yang wisely stopped talking.

With the Queen's consent, the Crown Princess called Mrs. Liu into the palace, told Mrs. Liu about the banquet, and asked Mrs. Liu to start arranging the banquet.

In fact, it was just a small banquet to celebrate side concubine Xie's ascension to the throne, and it was sufficient to invite members of the royal family and the family members of ministers' families whom they had good friends to enter the palace to participate in the banquet.

The Crown Princess did not attend the banquet on the grounds that she was pregnant and needed rest. Mrs. Liu was worried about her daughter and wanted to accompany her, but after repeated persuasion by the Crown Princess, she finally went to the banquet.

At the banquet, side concubine Xie was naturally the protagonist. Because she had no background, she was promoted from concubine to side concubine in only one year, and she was also a celebrity in front of the queen, so there were naturally many people who fawned on her Of course, Concubine Xie knew in her heart that these people were all friends with the Crown Princess's natal family. They were clearly trying to curry favor with her, but in fact they wanted to entangle her so that she couldn't get away from her body and pay attention to other things.

The crown prince did not return to the East Palace after the early court, but went out of the palace. Li Yi ordered him to do some things, one of which was to go out of the palace. , I went to the post house and palace.

Li Meiying was reading in the dormitory of the palace. When Qing'er came to report and Li Dingkang asked to see her, she closed the book, got up and went to the side hall to receive Li Dingkang.

"Sister Xie, I heard that you returned to China. A few days ago, I was not feeling well. I have been resting on the couch. I will visit you in the palace in the future. I hope you don't mind." Li Dingkang is well aware of Li Meiying's methods, but as the saying goes He is a smiling face, so he treats each other with courtesy, and is sure that Li Sister will not lose face to him.

"Looking at my cousin's flushed face and high spirits, he must be in good health!" Li Sister-in-law smiled slightly and said in a friendly tone.

"Well, after recuperating for a while, it's all right now." This was just his excuse, Li Sister-in-law said this, and Li Dingkang naturally replied along the lines.

"I heard that there is a banquet in the palace today, and I can't attend it in spite of my current situation, but I heard that it's one of your cousin's Liangdi Jin side concubine. The imperial concubine held a celebration banquet." Li Meiying changed the subject calmly, and today's banquet is the highlight of what she wants to see, but her current situation is impossible anyway, but such a good Naturally, the opportunity should not be wasted, and Li Dingkang must be interested.
