Resourceful beauty

Chapter 284 Showing Loyalty

There was a dead silence in the inner hall. Looking at Concubine Fang Gui who was kneeling in front of her, the expression on Queen Zhou's face changed from resentment at the beginning to a faint smile gradually.

"Your concubine Fang, you know why I called you here so late, why?"

Queen Zhou asked with a smile.

Concubine Fanggui knelt with her back straight, and when she heard Queen Zhou's question, she raised her head to look at Queen Zhou and said, "I know that today is the fifteenth day, and it should be the day when the king came to Fengming Palace."

There seemed to be a blunt knife on the heart, and it hurt after being pulled again and again. Queen Zhou's eyes instantly gathered a heavy anger.

Concubine Fanggui leaned over and kowtowed, stood up again, and her words became humble, "The Queen forgives the sin, and the concubine knows her mistake. However, the concubine did not do anything, but sent desserts to the king, and accompanied The king talked for a while. Later, the king said that he was tired and wanted to rest for a while, so the concubine left."

Queen Zhou inquired about the affairs around King Yao several times, but Li Sheng kept his mouth shut. Gradually, Queen Zhou stopped thinking.

At this moment, Concubine Fanggui said so, Queen Zhou naturally felt that she was eloquent, but there was no evidence, and she could not refute it, so she just sneered and stared at Concubine Fanggui, "Concubine Fanggui thinks that this palace is so Is it easy to deal with?"

"The concubine is terrified..."

Concubine Fanggui looked at Queen Zhou with an innocent face, "I dare not lie to the Queen."

Concubine Fanggui left Qian'an Palace before Haishi. Although the first and fifteenth day of every month is the day when King Yao will go to Fengming Palace, if he doesn't come, I can't just blame Concubine Fanggui like this, otherwise , still not being laughed to death by Concubine Han Shu?
The dark air in her heart could not flare up at this moment, Queen Zhou only felt that she would be uncontrollable to do something in front of Concubine Fanggui's young and charming face again.

Impatiently waving her hands, Queen Zhou said coldly, "Kneel down."

Concubine Fang Gui remained motionless, for a while, she raised her head and said: "I have something to do, I want to talk to the empress, I hope the empress will turn her back."

At this moment, apart from Queen Zhou and Concubine Fang Gui, there are Shui Ling and Shui Xiu standing beside Queen Zhou. She knew that Shui Ling and Shui Xiu were people that Queen Zhou trusted, but Concubine Fang Gui still said so, and Queen Zhou couldn't help being suspicious. stand up.

Queen Zhou didn't say a word, Concubine Fang Gui knelt there with her head lowered, and the hall fell silent again.

After a while, Queen Zhou turned her head to look at Shui Ling, Shui Ling lowered her head, and the next moment, she and Shui Xiu left the main hall.

"Speak, I hope you can say something good, otherwise, you know my temper."

Queen Zhou said in a deep voice.

Concubine Fanggui took a deep breath, "Since the day I entered the palace, my servant has never had two hearts. In my eyes and in my heart, I only think of the queen as the master. I am very grateful, from now on, only the empress will follow. If you don’t believe me, I hope that the empress will see the concubine’s dedication and don’t be too harsh on the concubine.”

After finishing speaking, Concubine Fanggui looked up at Queen Zhou and said: "Concubine knows that she is soft-spoken, but concubine is willing to be a small pawn in the empress's hand, to do her part for empress and His Royal Highness Yong. I hope that in the future, the concubine and the little prince can live without any worries."

I thought she was going to argue again, but unexpectedly, when she said such a thing, Queen Zhou's expression froze, and her eyes became a little colder.

"The crown prince has already made a decision. You know, if your words are spread, it will be treasonous."

Queen Zhou said in a deep voice.

Concubine Fang Gui smiled, "Until the last moment, no one can say that the outcome is decided, can't they? Therefore, the best laugh is when you laugh at the end. I always believe this sentence."

As if seeing Concubine Fang for the first time, Queen Zhou sized her up from head to toe. After a while, she smiled gently and said, "Get up and sit down."

Concubine Fang Gui leaned over and kowtowed, a smile curled up on her lips.

When he got up again, his face was serious again, and he got up and sat in the armchair next to the queen of Zhou, Fang Guifei's soft voice slowly rang out in the hall.

"In terms of life experience, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's birth mother is a concubine, who in Yao Kingdom doesn't know that His Royal Highness Yong was raised by his mother's side since childhood? In this way, His Royal Highness Yong is a descendant, but His Highness the Crown Prince is not. In terms of reputation, King Yong His Highness has served in the Ministry of War for many years and has made a lot of achievements. However, His Highness the Crown Prince has not made any contribution to the Yao Kingdom. With just a clever mouth, he persuaded the king and several ministers to support him as the crown prince. The two agree Comparing with each other, the concubine thinks that people with discerning eyes know what they are doing."

"Since ancient times, the crown princes have been established and established. His Royal Highness King Yong has occupied both. What is lacking is the cunning of His Highness the Crown Prince. Therefore, the success or failure of the crown prince does not mean anything. The concubine feels that the current situation , to His Royal Highness King Yong, it is a good time for him to hide his strength and bide his time."

Said, Concubine Fang Gui looked at Queen Zhou with burning eyes.

"How to say?"

In fact, she understood somewhat in her heart, but Queen Zhou still asked, wanting to see what Concubine Fanggui was planning.

"Now, the king has delegated power, and His Royal Highness is in charge of the government. What does your empress think?"

Concubine Fang Gui didn't answer the question.

Queen Zhou frowned and said: "The harem is not allowed to engage in government affairs, my concubine Fang Gui is cautious."

Although it was a lesson, Concubine Fanggui didn't have a trace of panic, she smiled and continued: "It's just the crown prince, but he did what the king should do. Although the honor was given by the king, the risk in it is not the same. It is much greater than the honor he will receive in the future. If he does well, this is his duty as the crown prince, but if he does not do well..."

Without saying a word, Concubine Fang Gui looked at Queen Zhou, "The higher you climb, the harder you fall. In this case, His Royal Highness King Yong will not do anything wrong, and what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did The more you make, the more mistakes you make, isn't it in the best interest of His Royal Highness King Yong? Now, the empress understands what concubines mean?"

"I didn't realize that Concubine Fanggui also gave birth to a seven-apertured exquisite heart."

Praising softly, Queen Zhou found that the annoyance that had been pent up in her heart after hearing about the Prince's governance a few days ago seemed to dissipate like a cloud of smoke after listening to Concubine Fanggui's words at this moment.

"Your Majesty praises it absurdly. The concubine is also judging others by herself. She just wants to find a wise master for herself and the little prince, and for the future to be safe and smooth."

Concubine Fang Gui said modestly.

"I heard from the palace that you got close to the princess a few days ago. Why, isn't the East Palace a good way out?"

Queen Zhou asked suspiciously.

Concubine Fang Gui shook her head, "In terms of family background, Concubine Han Shu can't compare to you, the queen. In terms of status and prestige, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't compare to His Royal Highness Yong. The concubine asks herself, she is not so stupid. As for getting close to the princess and concubine, it is also because of the palace Now only the little prince and the prince of the East Palace are close in age."

In my heart, I will never admit that the Zhou family is not as good as the Han family. The first words of Concubine Fanggui made Queen Zhou feel a little happy. many.

"Are you showing your loyalty to me? Then, why should I believe you?"

Concubine Fang Gui's words seemed to have been prepared a long time ago. If I didn't call her here today, I'm afraid she would find an opportunity to come here. Queen Zhou suddenly became suspicious again.

Concubine Fanggui smiled calmly and said, "If your majesty doesn't believe it, my concubine can prove it to your majesty."

"how to prove?"

Queen Zhou asked.

Concubine Fanggui showed a trace of reluctance on her face, and after a while, she raised her head and looked directly at Queen Zhou and said: "If your empress does not believe in my concubine's loyalty, this concubine is willing to bring the little prince to Fengming Palace, and ask your empress to take care of him on your behalf." .On the day when His Royal Highness King Yong’s affairs are completed, the empress will return the little prince to the concubine.”

There are many concubines and concubines in the palace, but very few have children. Anyone who has a son and a half daughter is not only a support, but also a distraction from the lonely palace life. They are both mothers. Queen Zhou naturally knows that there is no mother who is willing to stay away. What's more, his own child is still a prince.

If it were ten or 20 years ago, Concubine Fang Gui was pregnant, and she might have encountered countless accidents, but now the few princes who are capable of seizing the heir are all adults, so Queen Zhou is also happy to have a few more in the palace. Children, let the royal heirs multiply.

However, the words of Concubine Fanggui undoubtedly convinced Queen Zhou a little more.

Taking a deep breath in her heart, Queen Zhou looked at Concubine Fanggui with disbelief, but saw that her eyes were firm, obviously, she had made up her mind.

After being silent for a while, Queen Zhou didn't answer Concubine Fanggui's words, but raised her eyes and asked her, "Then what can you do?"

Knowing that Queen Zhou had recognized her, Concubine Fanggui was overjoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face, "Concubines can't do any big things, and what they can do is to serve people with sex."

As she said that, Concubine Fang Gui showed a hint of shyness on her face, "Concubine will serve the king well, but once His Royal Highness King Yong has the ability to accomplish something, the day he is ready, the king will be powerless and have to abdicate On the day of letting Xian, the empress thinks, is it okay?"

"Bold..."

Caught off guard and drank, Queen Zhou looked at Concubine Fanggui with a face of shock, her chest also fluctuated quite a bit.

Queen Zhou naturally heard the meaning of Concubine Fang Gui's words clearly, and probably understood what she meant when she said "Israel matters to people". Queen Zhou was really surprised that the delicate and noble Fang could not match her.

"The concubine got carried away for a while and talked nonsense, and I ask the empress to forgive me."

Kneeling down on the ground and kowtowing, Concubine Fang stood up, and said to Queen Zhou: "It's getting late, and I will go back without delaying your mother's bedtime. If your mother has any orders, my concubine is always on call. The concubine resigns."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Fang Gui turned around and walked away gracefully.

Seeing the back of Concubine Fanggui leaving, Queen Zhou felt that her heart was ups and downs like turbulent waves, and in front of her, there seemed to be a huge wave coming towards her violently.
