Resourceful beauty

Chapter 319

"What did you say? Who did you listen to?"

In the inner hall of Lanyue Pavilion, Concubine Fang was holding Princess Sixteen and teasing her. After hearing Liu Shang's words, she stopped in surprise.

"Prince Yong's side concubine came to pay her respects to the queen mother and the queen. Not only did she bring the eldest lady and the second lady, but she also brought the young master. Right now, she is chatting and laughing with the queen mother in Shouchang Palace."

Responding to the words, Liu Shang carefully looked at Concubine Fang's expression, "Master, do you want to go to Shouchang Palace to greet the Queen Mother as well?"

"Go, of course..."

As she spoke decisively, Concubine Fang raised her voice and called the wet nurse, asking her to dress the Sixteenth Princess thicker.

After a cup of tea, a group of people have already left Lanyue Pavilion.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of Shouchang Palace. Seeing that there was another sedan chair parked there, she knew it belonged to King Yong's side concubine. Concubine Fang's heart was beating so fast.

Accompanied by the voice of the maidservant, Concubine Fang lowered her head and entered the Shouchang Palace along the raised curtain. With just one glance, she saw the child in the Empress Dowager Lou's arms.

The last time I saw him was last year's New Year's Eve. At that time, he was small and soft, sleeping in a swaddling baby, and he had grown so big in a year.

Feeling in her heart, Concubine Fang dared not be sloppy, stepped forward to salute the Empress Dowager Lou, and received the salute from the side concubine of King Yong, and then sat in the armchair next to the Empress Dowager Lou.

"Concubine Fang is here, quickly bring the little princess to Ai's house to have a look..."

Greeting warmly, the Queen Mother Lou did not forget to take a kumquat from the plate on the table and stuff it in Chu Xingzhao's hand, and put him on the soft couch beside him.

Seeing that the wet nurse was about to come forward, Concubine Fang glanced at her, took the sixteenth princess's swaddle and sent it to her personally.

The Queen Mother took over the baby, and Concubine Fang sat on the side of the soft couch and hugged Chu Xingzhao.

The child was very obedient, and he looked up. Although the expression on his face was a little alienated, he did not resist anyway, which was enough to make Concubine Fang very happy.

"This child is really good. I heard that he is now being raised by the concubine's side?"

Concubine Fang turned around and asked King Yong's side concubine.

The side concubine of King Yong nodded, "Yes, the princess is waking up less and less now, the main courtyard is full of the smell of medicine, and the two children are lively, I am afraid that they will be sick, and I am afraid that they will be arrested. Because of their temperament, His Highness ordered the concubine to take care of the two children first, and send her back to the main courtyard after the princess recovers in a few days."

When talking, Yong Wang's side concubine looked sad, but when mentioning the two children, she had a motherly and tender look, and when she finished speaking, she got a few words of praise from the Queen Mother Lou.

Concubine Fang couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard it.

Empress Dowager Lou doesn't like Queen Zhou, and she doesn't even like Zhongshan Hou's Mansion, but the side concubine of King Yong is the young lady of Zhongshan Hou's mansion, looking at it, Empress Dowager Lou doesn't seem to dislike it at all.

The words of King Yong's side concubine made Concubine Fang feel a little unclear.

What I said to her before, she also responded well at that time, why did Princess Yong become unconscious for longer and longer so quickly, and even the two children were moved to her courtyard?
Suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, Concubine Fang teased Chu Xingzhao with a smile.

The one-year-old and three-month-old child can only speak a few simple words, but just hugging him and looking at him at such a close distance, Concubine Fang felt like a handful of cotton was filled in her heart, and she couldn't help but be gentle , be more gentle.

After a while, it seemed a little familiar, Chu Xingzhao stretched out his hand, and stretched out the kumquat that he had been holding just now to Concubine Fang.

"Brother Zhao, this is for Concubine Fang to eat..."

On the side, the side concubine of King Yong said with a smile.

Seeing his serious appearance, all kinds of ups and downs surged into Concubine Fang's heart in an instant, and her eyes almost turned red all at once.

"What's going on here?"

The Empress Dowager Lou raised her eyes and noticed, and said suspiciously: "On the day of great joy, who will you show this look again? The children's family, and they have provoked you?"

When people are old, they always like to see the people around them happy. Concubine Fang's appearance naturally makes her complain.

But only Concubine Fang knew that she was crying with joy.

Quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, Concubine Fang confessed, "Forgive me, Queen Mother. Looking at Brother Zhao, I think of my two sons."

Now, the fourteenth prince is raised in Fengming Palace, and Concubine Fang can see it every time she goes back to pay her respects, but she doesn't feel that it is her own.

As for the other one, she took a look at it after she was born, and then carried her out of the palace to be buried. Every time Concubine Fang thought about it, her heart was filled with bitterness and hatred. These days, she didn't want to think about it anymore.

Therefore, seeing her real son in front of her eyes, Concubine Fang felt a little complicated in her heart.

The Empress Dowager Lou nodded understandingly, and persuaded kindly: "There is nothing wrong with the queen doing this. But, after all, it is your own, and you often go to see it. Can you still be alienated from you?"

As he said that, he handed over the sixteenth princess's swaddle in a somewhat dispirited manner.

Sighing in her heart, Concubine Fang had to put down Chu Xingzhao, took her daughter's baby and sat back in her original position.

After talking for a while, King Yong's side concubine got up and said goodbye, saying that she was going to Fengming Palace to pay her respects to Queen Zhou. return.

Seeing that King Yong's side concubine was about to leave, Concubine Fang also stood up and left Shouchang Palace with her daughter in her arms.

"Concubine Fang, do you want to go to Fengming Palace together?"

When walking out together, Yong Wang's side concubine asked.

Concubine Fang nodded, "Go and say hello to the queen, and by the way, also visit the fourteenth prince."

"Since that's the case, the concubine will leave Fengming Palace for a while, so she won't go to Lanyue Pavilion to greet the empress. She originally planned to go to Lanyue Pavilion to have a chat with the empress."

Concubine Fang's heart skipped a beat when King Yong's side concubine spoke of being intimate.

"Since that's the case, I'll go back to Lanyue Pavilion and wait for my side concubine. You can see the Fourteenth Prince even if you go to Fengming Palace every day to pay your respects."

Concubine Fang responded with a smile, turned around and got on the sedan chair.

The curtain of the sedan chair fell, covering the excitement on Concubine Fang's face, as well as the thoughtful eyes of Concubine Yong's side concubine.

More than half an hour later, King Yong's side concubine brought Chu Xingzhao to Lanyue Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Chu Xingzhao was warmly hugged by Concubine Fang and placed on the soft couch beside him. There were many toys piled up on the soft couch. Presumably, they were all prepared for the fourteenth prince in the past.

Seeing the side concubine of King Yong's eyes flickering over those toys, Concubine Fang smiled and said, "The House of Internal Affairs also sent a lot to the queen, so I put them all on hold. Brother Zhao is here today, and I happened to find them out and give them to you." He plays."

"I still have a heart."

The side concubine of King Yong smiled, turned her eyes, and picked up the tea bowl in front of her.

After talking about Concubine Yong for a while, seeing that the side concubine of Yong Wang spoke cryptically but looked unrepentant, Concubine Fang knew that Queen Zhou must have hinted at something.

"Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or a few days later. If it's early, maybe the side concubine can get her wish before the dragon raises her head. My palace should congratulate the side concubine."

Concubine Fang changed her tone.

The side concubine of King Yong was happy in her heart, but her face was slightly terrified, "Your Majesty, you are serious. Now, I don't know what's going on."

Seeing that she was unwilling to tell the truth to herself, Concubine Fang felt helpless, but she didn't show it on her face, she just kept teasing Chu Xingzhao.

When King Yong's side concubine was about to leave, Chu Xingzhao's face showed a little bit of reluctance.

The clear eyes that kept looking up at Concubine Fang almost melted Concubine Fang's heart.

Could it be that this is the blood relationship between mother and child who were pregnant in October?Even if he didn't know that his biological mother was him, how could he be so close and miss him in such a short period of time?
Thinking wildly in her heart, she saw King Yong's side concubine salute and took her nurse out of Lanyue Pavilion. Concubine Fang raised her voice to stop her, and under the hesitant eyes of King Yong's side concubine, she got up and entered the inner hall.

When she came out again, Concubine Fang held a small object in her hand.

The emerald emerald jade was carved into the shape of a little rabbit, which is so cute and naive.

Tie the net on Chu Xingzhao's belt, and seeing how he stretched out his hands to hold the little rabbit and couldn't put it down, Concubine Fang smiled and said to the side concubine of King Yong: "I hugged him at the New Year's Eve banquet last year, so I can see that I'm so happy." Gong and him are also destined. This thing, let him reward him, it can be regarded as a gift for meeting again today."

King Yong's side concubine bowed and saluted, "My concubine, on behalf of brother Zhao, thank you for your reward."

Her eyes followed Chu Xingzhao's figure, until the side concubine of King Yong and his party were no longer seen after they left the courtyard gate of Lanyue Pavilion, and then Concubine Fang reluctantly turned and returned to the inner hall.

In the carriage that slowly drove out of the palace, the expression of Prince Yong's side concubine was unprecedentedly solemn.

Taking Brother Zhao from the nurse's arms, carefully sizing up his eyebrows, the side concubine of King Yong was a little suspicious.

When he was in the palace, whenever he mentioned Concubine Fang, King Yong's expression was a little uncomfortable, and occasionally, he was a little impatient and irritable.

This should not have happened. After all, Concubine Fang is the favorite concubine of King Yao first. With the status of King Yong, there must be a trace of respect, but the side concubine of King Yong feels that King Yong doesn't seem to let Concubine Fang go at all. In my eyes, the appearance of "don't mention her in front of the Lord" seems to be that Concubine Fang is a concubine in Yongwang's mansion, a concubine who has lost her freshness after being favored/lucky, and is no longer liked by Yongwang.

Secondly, it is now clear that Concubine Fang is on King Yong's side. After all, Concubine Fang is in the palace, and she can be regarded as obeying Queen Zhou's words.

However, King Yong felt as if, even if Prince Yong's Mansion could not bring Concubine Fang any benefits, she could only choose to stand by Prince Yong's Mansion.

After all, what is there that I don't know?
Looking at Chu Xingzhao, who was playing with the little jade rabbit in his arms, and thinking about King Yong's attitude when he mentioned Concubine Fang, and Concubine Fang's performance today, Wang Yong's side concubine gradually had a feeling of being unkind to others. language guesses.

Perhaps, when she entered the palace today, she made the right decision to take Brother Zhao with her.

Or maybe, I can bring him into the palace a few more times. After a long time, Concubine Fang will always show her feet, right?

When the time comes, it will be uncertain who will take advantage of whom.

A faint smile appeared on the face of King Yong's side concubine.
