Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 206

After the banquet, the empress took the concubines to the garden to enjoy the flowers, while looking for candidates for the concubine and side concubine for the Seventh Prince. Yiqing was able to follow behind the concubine of Qin, and she didn't let go of her guard. She was not too nervous, but throughout the afternoon, There are no longer any weird phenomena worthy of vigilance.

The queen took the seventh prince back to the palace, and the concubines also left and returned to the mansion one after another. Yiqing followed Princess Qin and left Zhao Wangfu after Princess Qi.

From an unnoticed angle in the outer courtyard of Prince Zhao's Mansion, there is a three-story pavilion, hidden behind several tall green trees. The windows of the pavilion are not open, but one can clearly see the pavilion from the carved window panes. All the movements at the gate of the palace.

Yuan Cong stood by the window with his hands behind his back, watching Yiqing follow Princess Qin into her car, surrounded by the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion and Marquis of Rongping's Mansion, and gradually drift away.

With Zhang Junlang's tense face, deep eyes, and a layer of resentment between his brows, he wandered upstairs alone, sighing: Xia Yiqing, Xia Yiqing, you and I are bosom friends!I was already tempted when I first met, blamed me for not turning my mind as fast as Zheng Jingyan, and fell for his tricks, and let him drag me away. In the end, by mistake, he was the one who married you!
I am not reconciled, I met by fate but missed it, I have never had such a big regret!

In Qin Wangfei's spacious and comfortable car, Yiqing and Qin Wangfei were separated by a small mahogany table, leaning on a big soft pillow, half lying down and talking.

"Is that woman really the maid of King Zhao's Mansion? Have you seen it clearly?" Princess Qin asked with her eyes slightly closed.

Yiqing replied: "The maidservants in Prince Zhao's residence are the same as other palaces. They are dressed in first-, second- and third-class dresses. That girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she wears third-class maid costumes. Now that I think about it, she walked upstairs. At that time, there were a few little maids standing on the side of the corridor waiting for orders and watching for refills of tea, and no one greeted her, um, it was a bit suspicious!"

A smile appeared on Princess Qin's lips: "This kind of thing often happens. Every princess brings her own maid with her, and if necessary, she can change into a set of clothes, and that's it. The one who goes up to answer you must not be the maid of Prince Zhao's Mansion!"

"Then whose family does she belong to? Is it the Shouwang Palace? I played the song 'Flying Fox' in the Shouwang Palace!"

"Didn't it spread? There are many people who love this elegant rhyme, and the music has been spread everywhere. Now not only in the palace, but also the top red girls in all the buildings in the capital can play it!"

Qin Wangfei looked up at Yiqing and said, "Fortunately, you are a smart person who can hold God. The person who has no intention of inviting you to 'reminiscing about the past' will never be the King of Shou! It is impossible for the person you are with the piano and flute to appear! Shou Wang is with all the kings, and he is inseparable. Who is he? If he really wants to meet you, he will definitely take into account all aspects and make comprehensive arrangements!"

Seeing that Yiqing was silent, Princess Qin couldn't help but narrowed her eyes: "You don't really hope that King Shou sent someone to invite you? Zhao said that you first met King Shou, and once made peace with King Shou Qin Xiao , King Shou liked you very much, but later he met Ah Yan, and Ah Yan married you home first, is that so?"

Yiqing was embarrassed, never thought that the King of Qin would gossip like this, and would automatically make up wild guesses!

The matter has passed, there is no need to whitewash anything, but it is not good to tell the truth, Yiqing can only say to Princess Qin: "It's not like that! I have never met King Shou alone! It's just that one day in the market, I saw King Shou I walked with Ah Yan, they argued with me about something, but it was just a one-time relationship, we didn’t know each other, and no one took it to heart! Later, Ah Yan and I became husband and wife parents I only met each other on the wedding night, no one likes the other first! In the attic, the servant girl pestered me to see the so-called old friend. I was scared to death, lest I be killed by someone, who cares who invited me? I will never dare to go against the order of the princess and meet anyone without authorization!"

"There is such a relationship between the three of you, no wonder Ah Yan doesn't want you to see King Shou!"

Qin Wangfei giggled: "I thought Ah Yan only loved another person, but now he treats you like this, obviously he likes you very much! He entrusted you to me, how could I let you have trouble? The noble lady upstairs at that time There are our people here, Mrs. Zhongyong, didn't she block Mrs. Linyanghou for you? If you want to go downstairs, someone will stop you, and you won't be able to get away!"

Yiqing lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Princess Wang, for your care!"

Secretly slandering: You will die if you made it so clear earlier?It makes me nervous, always afraid of being kidnapped!
Princess Qin caressed the beaded flowers on her temples, suppressed her smile, and said calmly: "Pretending to be an 'old friend' to invite you to the past, it should be the Wei Palace! Last time the Wei Palace held a flower banquet, and it was also the birthday of King Wei, ah Yan left Beijing to run that urgent errand, Ah Zhao and I went to the banquet at Wei Wang's mansion. During the banquet, King Shou drank too much, and Ah Zhao helped him to take a nap. As the master, King Wei naturally followed, but King Shou took advantage of it. Zuichao asked Ah Yan to accompany him, and he also said: "Otherwise call Xia Yiqing, I want her to see me and play with her...Flying Fox!" Wei Wang is so smart? I'm afraid he already thought about it at that time. Understand some of the mysteries! Therefore, it is Princess Wei and not Princess Qi who can use Shou Wang as a bait! Although it is just a small trick, the women in the inner courtyard are very terrifying. If you follow their ways, the consequences will be serious. It’s unimaginable! Among our sisters-in-law, Princess Wei is the most sinister, but Princess Qi! She has harmed many people, from members of the royal family to ministers’ wives and daughters, as long as she wants to do it, she can’t do it. Arrived! And behind her, there is the empress who is helping her to ward off disasters, no one can do anything to catch her! I just don’t know if Princess Qi is smart enough, does she have a pair of discerning eyes? She can understand the methods the empress uses on her!”

Yiqing looked at the cruel smile gradually blooming on Princess Qin's face, and said in her heart that she finally saw another Princess Qin. This one is the one who holds the power of life and death in the palace. A witty and capable housewife in the palace!And the smiling, gentle and honest Princess Qin on weekdays is just a façade for others to see!
"My lord, if the maid was sent by Princess Wei, then Madam Linyang and the next few invitations should be made by Princess Qi. They want to lure me so naturally, they have their own purpose, they want to trick me What did you say, or did you just hate me because of the confrontation and wanted to harm me?"

Princess Qin said: "All of them! Several family members of Ah Zhao's powerful men were killed by Princess Qi, and even a beautiful girl whom Ah Zhao loved very much was captured by Princess Qi for questioning and then killed. The concubine did it very carefully and covered it up very well, but Ah Zhao and the others found traces. Most of the women who were captured by her were coddled, and they couldn't help being frightened and couldn't bear the pain. It's an important matter, but King Qi's people can deduce many possibilities from some details, which will affect our side to some extent."

Yiqing felt a little scared when she thought about it: "Princess Zhao sent me a post for the first time, and you are here, too. If I refuse to come today, it would be rude! Next time there is such a flower feast, I won't go." ?terrible!"

Qin Wangfei smiled and said: "If someone is plotting, how can you prevent it for a while? As Mrs. Hou, you can't avoid showing up on various occasions. You must have some experience! How can you be timid? People saw the joke!"

After hearing this, Yiqing didn't understand what Princess Qin meant, so she could only express her gratitude for her teaching.

Qin Wangfei continued: "You don't have to worry today, there will be no accidents! I informed Zhao Wangfei and sent some hidden guards in. Even you and several other important family members must be protected! Let's Wangfu Lu joined the army and I talked about it. Although the family members are playing at the banquet, just look at how the other party behaves. The more impatient they are, the more they can reveal their thoughts - they want to find out all kinds of situations on our side, and they don't even have the smallest chance. Let it go! Now it seems that the people in Prince Qi's Mansion are the most anxious, and they all want to attack me! Hmph! Blind their eyes!"

Yiqing was taken aback for a moment, but held back her curiosity and didn't ask any questions. For some things, it's better not to know than to know!

Princess Qin was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "I just found out today that even the inner courtyard of our Prince Qin's mansion is not very clean! It's all because of the men's flirtatiousness. They think that any woman will be sincere if they think they are sympathetic to each other! Don't you know, except for those who get married and can share the joys and sorrows, the rest are just some seductresses who love vanity and covet wealth and enjoyment! When life and death are at stake, these seductions are unreliable!"

Yiqing lowered her head, not daring to answer Princess Qin's words, and remembered what Qiuxiang said in her mind: "It's about Prince Qin's heir, is it important or not?"

He also said: "The princess did not rush back to the mansion because of you, madam!"

Qiuxiang said it lightly, but Yiqing couldn't bear it, she thought she was incompetent, how could she be as important as Prince Qin's heir?
So I made up my mind to pretend to be honest, not to say a word, and to just listen silently.

Concubine Qin is not immune either. When it comes to concubines in the back house, no matter how well-bred and self-regulating she is, her expression still shows traces of resentment and anger from time to time. It was not until this time that Yiqing knew that Yuan Zhao, the king of Qin, was not only married to the concubine of Qin. There are a pair of concubine children, and four or five concubine children below, and there are as many as five or six concubines who are pregnant and waiting to give birth!

Yiqing clicked her tongue secretly, no wonder Princess Qin is not angry, if she manages such a family without even the slightest emotion, then she is a saint!

This also strengthens Yiqing's determination: find a way to dispel the seventh prince's intentions towards Yueqing!

Yue Qing is just the daughter of a sixth-rank official. For a large royal flower banquet like today, the noble ladies who can receive invitations are all daughters of fourth-rank officials and above, and those who are eligible to be selected as princesses, if It's not Miss Gonghou Xungui, at least she must be the daughter of a second-rank official, and her father is a third-rank and fourth-rank official. If the family is prominent, she can also become a side concubine. concubine!
Yiqing was disdainful in her heart, and slowly said that she was a wife and concubine, even if she was a princess, Leqing couldn't go!
There is only one reason. Leqing is the daughter of Pang Ruxue. Although influenced by Yiqing since she was a child, she has a bright temperament and loves to talk and laugh, but she is kind in nature, easy to soften her heart, and has a moment of courage, but she will never drive people to death. If she falls in a dark place like the back residence of the palace, and the concubine and concubine fight, she will not be able to fight against others no matter what!
