Resourceful beauty

Chapter 129 Unexpectedly
"Official Minister's Mansion, Prince Qi's Mansion..."

Seeing the back of Mrs. Gu leaving the Huaqing Palace, Concubine Lin muttered in her mouth that she had worked so hard to become a concubine, so she naturally knew that the front court and the rear palace were actually closely related. connected.

Therefore, Concubine Lin Gui didn't believe Madam Gu's words at all.

Even if Mrs. Gu is a loving mother and is willing to try hard for her son, is Mrs. Gu just sitting back and doing nothing?It can be seen from this that the Gu family still attaches great importance to this marriage.

However, Prince Qi's Mansion...

Concubine Lin Gui naturally guessed what the person on the golden throne thought about King Qi, otherwise, it has been two years since King Qi returned to the capital, why didn't anyone else propose marriage?That Princess Xuanyi is 14 years old this year, right?
After much deliberation, but still unable to understand the mystery, Concubine Lin Gui simply shook her head and put the matter aside.

"Let's go, go see Mr. Ming..."

Thinking of that pink and chubby little baby, Concubine Lin Gui felt that her heart softened into a ball of cotton, and when she thought that the child came out of the belly of a Ming noble who had not been in the palace for a long time, Concubine Lin Gui felt that she couldn't tell what it was. What's the taste.

She can be regarded as an old man beside the emperor. Although Rong Chong is not the first one in this palace, he is still in front. The emperor enters the harem more than ten times a month, but she does not have five or six times, but three or four times. There are always some, but it has been several years, but there is no movement in the stomach at all.

If you don't expect a prince, you can count on having a princess by your side for the rest of your life, but the current situation makes people feel desolate just thinking about it.

Thinking wildly all the way, Concubine Lin Gui felt a little heavy, but when she saw the third princess staring at her in a daze, pursing her lips as if aggrieved, Concubine Lin Gui suddenly figured it out: The honor and disgrace of the family is also Well, regardless of her great favor in the palace, she is nothing in front of her children, she would rather give up these, and she would have a child of her own.

So thinking, Madam Gu's reason for coming, Concubine Lin Guifei just treated it as gossip to Ming Guiren.

Qiu Shumin had told Ming Guiren about this a few days earlier, but because she was in confinement, she couldn't go to Huaqing Palace to find Concubine Lin Gui to sidestep her. Now Concubine Lin Guifei said it herself, which was exactly what Ming Guiren wanted.

"The empress is in this palace, but besides the queen empress, the most honorable place is, and even the Holy Majesty is very considerate of the empress, otherwise, how could Madam Gu ask for your favor?"

Complimenting the horse, he caught a glimpse of Concubine Lin's eyes and brows showing color, Ming Gui asked tentatively: "Then what does the empress mean?"

Lin Guifei stretched out her hand to tease the third princess, and responded with a smile: "If what they are asking for is someone else, I will just agree and give them this grace. But Prince Qi's Mansion..."

After hesitating for a while, Concubine Lin Gui didn't express her true thoughts, "Princess Xuanyi is the eldest daughter of the royal family. Her marriage must be decided by King Qi himself, or the Queen Mother or Empress Dowager should intervene, and it is not my turn to be married. Intervene. So, let’s find out what the empress thinks about it another day.”

"The empress is really quick-witted, and the concubine can't match it..."

Picking up the swaddle and putting it in Concubine Lin Gui's arms, seeing her smile even more, Ming Guiren said softly: "My concubine's humble opinion, I think this marriage is also very good, the empress might as well test her words in front of the Holy One, If the Holy Spirit has this intention, the Gu family will naturally be more grateful for the kindness of the empress when they look back."

"How to say?"

Hearing that there was something in Ming Guiren's words, Concubine Lin Gui looked back at her.

Ming nobleman smiled calmly, "King Qi held military power in the past, even though he is only training in the Northwest camp now, and it is no longer possible to lead troops into battle, but the contacts in his hands have accumulated over the years. In the capital, there are good people of the right age now. Erlang, the eldest son of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion counts as one, the second son of the Jingning Marquis Mansion counts as one, and the others are either married or young, and do not match Princess Xuanyi."

Concubine Lin Gui stared intently at the third princess in her arms, but her ears listened carefully.

"The empress's meaning, the empress naturally knows, otherwise, there will be no such incident in the palace. Jingning Hou has the military power in the south, so the concubine speculates that the Holy Majesty may not be willing Marquis Marquis Marriage. Therefore, it is not suitable for the only two candidates who can match Princess Xuanyi. Let's put it this way, everyone will be happy with a helpful and helpless marriage for Prince Qi's Mansion. The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries , His family's young master is always qualified to match the royal family's daughter, right?"

After organizing the rhetoric that Qiu Shumin taught him, the Ming nobleman still did not forget to look at Lin Guifei's expression.

Concubine Lin Gui remembered another thing.

After Fang Ruxuan was named princess last year, she rewarded [-] acres of yellow fields. For this matter, the chief eunuch Tang Zhongli of her own palace came to file a complaint. Isn't this matter implicated in Princess Xuanyi?

Concubine Lin Gui didn't know what had happened, and Tang Zhongli might have made Tang Zhongli come forward, and he might have asked Prince Anyuan Hou to come over and admit his mistake. This Princess Xuanyi must not be a light-hearted person.

However, with a father like King Qi, it's not surprising that Princess Xuanyi has such a temperament.

In this way, all the speculations about King Qi's mansion in the palace are true, does the emperor really not want to see King Qi, and doesn't want him to hold Da Yuan's military power?

Concubine Lin Gui secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and she took her heart to Ming Guiren's proposal.

After returning to Huaqing Palace to rest for a while, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to say that the emperor had turned over her signboard today. Concubine Lin Guifei was dressing up and thinking over and over again in her heart how to say this without showing any traces.

In the evening, Emperor Rui'an came out of Zhaoyang Hall, went to Yongshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and then came to Huaqing Palace.

After dinner, Concubine Lin took a bowl of tea with her own hands and handed it to Emperor Rui'an, while sitting beside him affectionately, talking about the cuteness of the third princess.

Wen Xianyin knew the elegant meaning, Emperor Rui'an smiled and said: "What, are you in a hurry?"

Concubine Lin pursed her red lips and said coquettishly: "The concubine has been with the emperor for several years, and now the knees are still empty, how can I not be in a hurry? Seeing that there will be another draft next year, when the time comes, the emperor will only see the newcomer smiling, but not the concubine. The old man cried."

"You……"

Helplessly shaking his head and laughing, Emperor Rui'an came up to Lin Guifei's ear and said something. Immediately, Concubine Lin gave Emperor Rui'an a shy look, "Your Majesty, you are used to bullying your concubines."

Even so, Emperor Rui'an's words still made Lin Guifei's heart flutter.

As soon as night fell, Huaqing Palace brought hot water into it. After taking a bath, Lin Guifei pulled Emperor Rui'an's belt, and the two of them sank into layers of veils.

After the cloud and rain passed, the little bird snuggled into Emperor Rui'an's arms, and Concubine Lin Gui asked softly, "Is the matter of Wanzhou resolved? Seeing the emperor worrying day and night, my heart aches."

Knowing that she was not interfering with the court affairs, Emperor Rui'an smiled and said: "Uncle Qi is a good means, but it has only taken a few days, and it has already improved. Now that the rainy season has passed, as long as it doesn't rain anymore, those festering dams will be regarded as Keep it, and let the local area pay close attention to repairs, and when the rainy season comes next year, things like this year will not happen."

"Then King Qi has made a great contribution this time."

Taking a peek at Emperor Rui'an's expression, seeing that there was nothing to see, Concubine Lin Gui smiled and said, "However, King Qi is the emperor's uncle, and these things can be regarded as his duty. The children of Prince Qi will be fine."

As if thinking of Fang Zhengjun, Emperor Rui'an had a little smile on his face, "Of course I want to reward you. I haven't seen you in a few years, but the son of Prince Qi really impressed me. He usually trains with Uncle Qi in the Northwest camp. I haven't seen him a few times, but during the trip to the palace, I found out that he has the same temper as Song Qian, who treats me very well."

"Then what does the emperor plan to reward Prince Qi's son?"

Concubine Lin Gui asked casually.

Thinking deeply, Emperor Rui'an said with a smile: "He is newly married, if he is allowed to train in the Northwest camp and come back once a month, then it will seem unreasonable to me. When Uncle Qi comes back, I plan to transfer him back Let him serve as the commander of the Nine City Army and Horse Division."

Concubine Lin Gui said with a smile: "The emperor is wise."

The topic seems to be over at this point. Seeing that Emperor Rui'an seemed to be tired, Concubine Lin Guifei hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The Princess Xuanyi of Prince Qi's Mansion is almost reaching her age. The concubine has met him several times. She is an intelligent and handsome girl, and I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry her."

This time, Emperor Rui'an didn't speak quickly.

Concubine Lin Guifei waited for a while, looked up at Emperor Rui'an and said with a smile: "Princess Sixteen and Princess Xuanyi have always been friends. The marriage of Princess Sixteen has been contemplated by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for a long time. The king loves this daughter very much, and he would not be willing to marry her away. The emperor might as well take this opportunity to choose a good husband-in-law for Princess Xuanyi in the capital, and forget King Qi's concern, isn't it? Icing on the cake?"

Thinking of the trivial news on his desk, Emperor Rui'an was not sure if someone begged Concubine Lin Gui to let her speak in front of him.

After hesitating for a while, Emperor Rui'an said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention, but this little girl Ruxuan is going to be a big girl soon? Then this marriage must be carefully chosen."

Concubine Lin Gui was overjoyed, and was about to talk about Gu Fu, when Emperor Rui'an changed the subject: "In the royal family, there seem to be very few princesses and princesses who are of marriageable age. You can’t be sloppy, you really have to choose carefully. Since you are the sons and daughters of the royal family, you have to be loyal to the royal family, how can you choose according to your preferences like ordinary people?”

Hearing this, it seems that the Holy Majesty has other plans?

Concubine Lin Gui was startled, and stopped what she was going to say.

A few days later, when Mrs. Gu entered the palace again, she learned what the emperor meant from Concubine Lin Gui.

When Fang Ruxuan learned about this, it was naturally from Princess Sixteen. When she heard it, Fang Ruxuan was really surprised: She always thought that no one came to propose marriage because those people were still waiting to see the attitude of the Holy Majesty towards her father. , everything was planned by that person in the Golden Luan Hall?

What can his own marriage make him plan for?
For the first time after returning to the capital, Fang Ruxuan felt a little uneasy. The feeling that her fate was in the hands of others made her feel that her eyes were full of unknown dangers.
