Resourceful beauty

Chapter 276 Defection
Within a few days, the candidate for the Nine Son-in-law was decided, and it really was Xing Ze.

Thinking of how relieved Lu Rufei must be, Fang Ruxuan secretly sighed for the pity of the world's parents, but at the same time, she was still guessing about the relationship between Lu Rufei and the Marquis of Chang'an, or the Marquis of Chang'an.

However, being cautious is another major characteristic of Concubine Lu. Whether it is Concubine Xi or an old person in the palace, when it comes to Concubine Lu, they all say that she is gentle and generous, and she has never said anything unpleasant. It may be difficult to see Lu Rufei's unknown side.

On the second day of February, when the dragon raised its head, the palace's decree for a marriage came down. King Yao ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select a suitable address in Shangyang City for Princess Nine to repair the Princess Mansion. The wedding date with Xing Ze was set in June of the next year. 28.

At that time, Xing Ze was only twenty years old, and the nine princesses had just reached the age of Ji, which was a good time.

Thinking that Lu Rufei has been planning for this for several years, Fang Ruxuan felt that Lu Rufei was an unfathomable person, and all her previous opinions were overturned.

"It seems that I haven't seen Concubine Fang Gui for a long time."

Bathed in the morning sun, Fang Ruxuan walked on the stone path in front of the imperial garden, turning her head and talking to Sangsan.

Sangshen thought for a while and said, "These days, apart from going to Fengming Palace to greet the Queen Mother every day, most of the time, Concubine Fanggui spends talking and playing cards with the Queen Mother in Shouchang Palace."

"Playing cards? Who else?"

Fang Ruxuan then asked.

"Concubine Lu Ruru and Princess Rui are also here. If Princess Rui is not here, it will be Concubine Liu Ning."

Responding to the news she inquired about, Sangshen saw with sharp eyes that Qing'er, who was beside Concubine Fang Gui, was coming from a distance.

Seeing that Qinger kept looking at her, Sangshen knew that she probably had something to say to herself.

After talking to Fang Ruxuan, the master and servant slowed down, and sure enough, Qing'er walked over quickly carrying a box, "My maidservant has seen the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess Wan'an."

After asking An to get up, seeing no one around, Qing'er said in a low voice: "The night before last, Concubine Fanggui went out with a glass of wine and came back after more than an hour. In the past two days, the servant overheard a few ears, Fanggui The concubine seems to be going to see His Royal Highness King Yong, and the meeting place is in Qi'an Hall."

Qi'an Hall is the palace where King Yong rested when he was in the palace.

Seeing what Fang Ruxuan was thinking, Qing'er said again: "The past few days, Concubine Fanggui is in a good mood, and she ordered Yuzaofang to make new jewelry for her and cut out a few new dresses. If it's a servant girl, it might be good. I am afraid that in a few days, she will meet His Highness King Yong again. It is inconvenient for servants to pass on news, so I hope the Crown Princess will pay more attention."

After finishing speaking, Qing'er leaned over and saluted, said "I will leave you, servant", then turned around and left quickly.

In the eyes of others, Qing'er just saw Fang Ruxuan here, and came over to ask for peace.

Taking a walk, thinking back to what Qing'er said just now, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help laughing: This woman's mind is really elusive.

The birth of the little prince last year was inauspicious, and because of being dumped, Concubine Fanggui hated King Yong to the bone, and even made an alliance with Fang Ruxuan, saying that she would be of more use in the future.

Now, seeing that her own son has become King Yong's eldest son, Concubine Fang Gui's thoughts are probably alive again, otherwise, how could there be such a proposal on New Year's Eve?

That being the case, from now on, Concubine Fang Gui can no longer be a friend who can benefit each other.

Fang Ruxuan thought so.

The next day when I went to Fengming Palace to pay my respects, Fang Ruxuan paid more attention to Concubine Fang Gui. Sure enough, Concubine Fang Gui, who is now the favorite concubine in the palace, although she still has the faint temperament of the past, she behaves like she is already. It is a gorgeous and beautiful appearance, which is not much better than that of Concubine Jing.

After asking An to leave Fengming Palace, Fang Ruxuan saw King Yong's side concubine enter the palace, and Concubine Fang was still talking to her with a smile, and after returning to the East Palace for a while, she listened to Sangsan's back and forth, saying that Concubine Fang had invited King Yong The side concubine went to Lanyue Pavilion to sit for a while.

What is she going to do?
Suspicious in her heart, Fang Ruxuan thought to herself while holding her son and gently patting him to sleep.

In the main hall of Lanyue Pavilion, King Yong's side concubine was also suspicious.

When Concubine Fanggui was still Concubine Fang, the two of them were just acquaintances when they met in the palace, and there was no friendship, but Concubine Fanggui's behavior today really made King Yong's side concubine feel a little uncertain.

"The side concubine is someone the Queen likes, and I am naturally willing to get close to her. That's why I made the abrupt move today. The princess won't blame me, right?"

Concubine Fang Gui said with a smile.

"I am terrified..."

Said softly, King Yong's side concubine looked indifferent, but in her heart, she gradually understood, and when she looked at Concubine Fanggui again, she couldn't help being a little closer.

Fanggui concubine's mother is more valuable than her son, although the little prince was born on an unauspicious day, but after all, with the words of King Yao, no one dared to speak out whether it was in the palace or Shangyang City.

In the future, after King Yao's hundred years, no matter who ascends to the throne, Concubine Fang Gui will not be able to escape the honor of being a concubine.

However, there is a big difference between a concubine who is ignored and a concubine who is remembered by the new king.

Today's concubine Fanggui is very holy, if she is willing to make good plans for King Yong in front of King Yao, and with the support of King Yong, Queen Zhou and the eldest princess, if it is King Yong who will ascend the throne in the future, then, Concubine Fang Gui's future dignity will be even more guaranteed.

However, even if Concubine Fanggui wanted to get close to Prince Yong's mansion, the candidate should be Princess Yong.

I was a little puzzled in my heart, but in an instant, thinking of my relationship with Queen Zhou, coupled with Princess Yong's cold and indifferent temperament, King Yong's side concubine was a little relieved.

Talking to Concubine Fang Gui again, the side concubine of King Yong lost the restraint just now and became a little more casual. Concubine Fang Gui felt a little secretly happy in her heart when she noticed it.

"I don't know how many concubines there are in Yongwang's mansion? And who is the most favored by Yongwang?"

Concubine Fang looked at King Yong's side concubine and asked.

"This……"

Concubine Fang's question is considered a private matter of Prince Yong's mansion. The side concubine of King Yong hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness likes to search for beauties, and now, besides the concubine and concubine, there are only two concubines who are famous in the mansion." , the rest of the people are just serving His Highness on weekdays."

people...

There was a slight sourness in her heart, but Concubine Fang Gui was not in a hurry to speak, waiting to know who King Yong liked.

The side concubine of King Yong raised her eyes to look at Concubine Fanggui, her voice became lower and lower, "Miss Qin, who just entered the mansion a few days ago, has been quite liked by His Highness recently."

In a word, Concubine Fang suddenly became happy again.

She has always known that King Yong likes the new and dislikes the old. In this way, whether it is the Concubine Yong or the side concubine of the King Yong, they have all been left behind by the King Yong. Now, only the newly recruited beauties can seduce/live in Yongwang. Wang Xin, then myself...

Feeling quite complacent, Concubine Fang looked at King Yong's side concubine with pity and said: "In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the side concubine gave birth to two young ladies for King Yong. In Prince Yong's mansion, except for Princess Yong , I am afraid that no one will be able to put pressure on the side concubine, so, just for the future, the side concubine should also make a good plan for herself."

Smiling wryly, the side concubine of King Yong remained silent for a while.

Concubine Fang put away her smile, lowered her voice and said softly: "What does the Queen do to Concubine Yong, and what to Concubine Side, does the Concubine not know?"

"However, the concubine is a concubine after all. Now, she has given birth to a legitimate son and has a young lady by her side. It can be regarded as having both sons and daughters. Even if the queen and empress do not like it, it may only be temporary."

King Yong's side concubine said tentatively.

Concubine Fang Gui smiled, "If it's just Concubine Yong, then naturally it doesn't matter. What if it's more than that in the future? The side concubine thinks that the Queen Mother will allow a lady from her mother's clan to take the concubine position?"

The side concubine of King Yong understood in a split second that the queen mother in Fanggui's words did not refer to the current queen mother of Shouchang Palace.

If the Queen Mother of Zhou becomes the Empress Dowager, she will only be one of the four concubines, just like Concubine Fang said, how can the Queen Mother of Zhou be reconciled?

At the beginning, King Yong married a young lady from the Yunfu to be Princess Yong. Everyone in Shangyang City knew how many days Queen Zhou and the eldest princess had treated King Yong coldly.

A heart was beating rapidly, and the side concubine of King Yong noticed that Concubine Fang Gui's eyes were full of encouragement.

"Unfortunately, I have no sons by my side..."

The side concubine of King Yong sighed a little lonely.

Concubine Fanggui snorted disdainfully in her heart, turned the agate-colored enamel armor on her fingers, and said with a soft smile: "Not now, it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. Besides, even if there is no one, doesn't Prince Yong's Mansion already have a son?" ? As long as the side concubine uses her brain more, there will always be a way."

The side concubine of King Yong looked up in surprise, but saw that Concubine Fang Gui didn't look at her at all, as if she was speaking to herself.

These words can be said to be heart-pounding. In her heart, the side concubine of King Yong became more and more sure of the purpose of Concubine Fanggui's meeting with her today.

Today, with her status as the side concubine of Prince Yong and her status in Prince Yong's mansion, if something happens to Princess Yong, it is easy for her to be brought upright. After all, she has the support of Queen Zhou behind her.

At that time, even if he did not give birth to a son, as long as he grasped the pair of children that Princess Yong gave birth to, it would be equivalent to his own.

If King Yong ascends to the throne, then he...

The more I think about it, the more excited the side concubine of King Yong is. The long-term suppression in Prince Yong's mansion and the endless bitterness in her heart seem to be nothing to worry about.

In the future, everything depends on the future.

Turning a blind eye to the fiery but forbearing gaze of King Yong's side concubine, and chatting a few more innocuous words, Fang Guifei sent someone to send Yong Wang's side concubine away.

Thinking of the things that were about to happen in Prince Yong's Mansion, the corners of Concubine Fanggui's lips curled up uncontrollably.

In the Hall of Xuanyi, Fang Ruxuan and Chu Yuan talked about the news they had learned from Qing'er, combined with the fact that King Yong's side concubine stayed in Lanyue Pavilion for nearly an hour, and said with some headaches: "Behind King Yong, there are queens and queens. Eldest princess, now, there is another noble concubine."

"There will be defections even on the battlefield, let alone in the harem. Aren't women the most complicated and changeable?"

After joking a few words, Chu Yuan said disapprovingly: "Concubine Fanggui is thinking about herself now, thinking that King Yong is in power, her own son is the eldest son of King Yong, and there is another son of the prince next to her, and the chances of winning are sure. But she never thought that if something happens, she will be the one who will end up the worst, so don't worry about it, let's just look at the future."
