Resourceful beauty

Chapter 329
Prince Ping and Concubine Ping returned to Shangyang City on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and Concubine Fang came back together.

The next day was the Lantern Festival family banquet in the palace.

In the afternoon, Wu Xiuyan carried her daughter into the Hall of Xuanyi. In the inner hall, Fang Ruxuan changed clothes for Brother Ming, who had just taken a bath. When the little guy saw the baby in Wu Xiuyan's arms, he pointed to it and said, "Sister, younger sister……"

Wu Xiuyan immediately rolled her eyes with a smile, "It can be seen that my family Qianqian is a lucky one. At such a young age, Brother Ming is always thinking about her, and no one will bully her when she grows up."

Fang Ruxuan glanced at Wu Xiuyan resentfully, "Her father is King Ping, and her mother is Princess Ping, who would dare to bully her?"

Wu Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled, and came forward to put the baby on the warm couch. Over there, Brother Ming also anxiously called "sister", unwilling to sit on the bed.

Shaking her head and smiling, Fang Ruxuan's subordinates quickened their movements, dressed him, carried him over and put him on the soft couch.

"How is the father's health?"

Asking Brother Ming not to poke Qianqian's face with his fingers, Fang Ruxuan turned around and asked.

Wu Xiuyan nodded, "It's pretty good. Look, it seems to be a little more energetic than when I was in the palace."

There was something in her heart, she didn't know whether she should ask, Fang Ruxuan turned to ask: "Then why did Concubine Fang come back with you? Is it the father's intention?"

Picking up a piece of dessert and eating it, Wu Xiuyan almost choked with a smile when she heard Fang Ruxuan's question.

Wu Xiuyan hurriedly drank her saliva and followed suit, Wu Xiuyan laughed in a low voice: "In the palace, there are three nobles besides Concubine Fang. Concubine Fang probably feels that she has a high status and wants to hold it, so she made a lot of jokes. We On that day, after the king finished asking questions, she started asking questions from the queen mother's body, all the way to the young master and young lady of Prince Yong's mansion."

Fang Ruxuan seemed to have thought about why Concubine Fang was sent back, and a funny smile appeared on her face.

Wu Xiuyan continued: "A few days ago we said we would come back, and my father agreed. When I was having dinner with my father the evening before yesterday, Concubine Fang put on a posture of a favorite concubine, and asked us to return her and the king. He also said with a look of concern that he didn't know what happened to the fourteenth prince in Fengming Palace. The king was impatient to hear it, and immediately sent a message to ask her to come back to the palace. side, don’t leave her to serve.”

No need to think about it, at that time Concubine Fang must have looked aggrieved, but unfortunately, King Yao didn't follow her.

You have no jokes, and there is no change in what you say, so Concubine Fang can only go back to the palace in despair. I don't know how she faced Queen Zhou's blame when she went to Fengming Palace today.

Fang Ruxuan just felt extremely funny in her heart.

As the evening approached, Chu Yuan and King Heping came to the Hall of Xuanyi.

The four of them sat and talked for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, they got up together and headed towards Fengming Palace.

The Lantern Festival banquet was nothing more than that, unlike on New Year's Eve, foreign ministers and wives were invited, and only the concubines from the harem, as well as the princes, concubines and princesses attended the banquet.

When Fang Ruxuan arrived, she saw Concubine Yong holding Chu Xingming, sitting beside Queen Zhou and talking affectionately. On the other side, Concubine Fang looked up from time to time, and when she touched Queen Zhou's gaze, she dodged a little lowered his head.

After waiting for a while, a message came from Shouchang Palace that the Queen Mother was not feeling well, so Queen Zhou nodded and signaled for the banquet to begin.

Seemingly having learned about King Yao's situation from Concubine Fang, Queen Zhou never asked King Ping and Wu Xiuyan any more, and the banquet really became a veritable family banquet.

However, Fang Ruxuan felt a little sensitively that the side concubine of King Yong seemed to be waiting for someone or some news. During the period, she looked up from time to time outside the hall, and when she looked away, she would turn back to see what was happening inside the hall. No one noticed his actions, and he felt guilty.

Ben was still secretly wondering what would have caused King Yong's side concubine to behave like this. As the banquet drew to a close, Fang Ruxuan already knew the answer.

"Princess Yong is dead..."

A servant hurriedly stepped into the main hall, glanced cautiously at King Yong, and then whispered back to Queen Zhou.

"Dead? How did you die? When did it happen?"

As if she didn't expect such a thing to happen, Queen Zhou asked with a look of astonishment, and the hall that was still lively just now was suddenly silent.

"Returning to your empress, about half an hour ago, the people from Yun's residence who invited the imperial physician were still waiting at the gate of the palace. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yun came. Mrs. Yun is still outside waiting for an answer."

The person who came to deliver the message was the servant on duty at the gate of the inner palace, and his voice was still trembling at the moment, as if he felt a little terrified of encountering such an errand.

"Mrs. Xuanyun..."

After Queen Zhou finished speaking, the servant responded softly, turned around and trotted out.

After a cup of tea, Mrs. Yun, who was dressed in dark red and ordered to serve, entered the main hall with a sad face and tears in the corners of her eyes.

From the beginning to the end, King Yong and his side concubine sat there with their heads bowed like statues, as if they hadn't recovered from the shocking news.

"The courtiers have seen the queen, my lady, Wanan, I greet all the masters."

After bowing down to meet the ceremony, Mrs. Yun stood up again, Queen Zhou immediately gave her a seat, and asked about Princess Yong.

When she raised her head, her eyes flicked over King Yong's side concubine, and Mrs. Yun said in a sad voice: "It only took more than half a month to bring the princess back to Yunfu, and the imperial doctor and the doctor invited by the master will take care of them. During the day, the concubine has recovered a little bit, and the time of waking up is getting longer and longer. But today, the whole family gathered in the old lady's yard to eat Yuanxiao, but suddenly reported that the concubine was not well. The concubine is already unconscious, and even the imperial doctor said that medicine and stones are ignored."

Tears flowed down my cheeks. Madam Yun kept her head down from the beginning to the end when speaking, but her hands in the sleeves were clasped tightly together, as if she would not be able to control herself to pounce on someone's falsehood once they were loosened. The noodles are average.

"What's going on? Didn't it make sense, why suddenly..."

Queen Zhou was confused.

Mrs. Yun suddenly raised her head, "Madam, the little girl was killed by someone, and I hope the majesty will make the decision for the little girl, so don't let the person behind the scenes be spared."

"You said, Concubine Yong was killed by someone? Is there any evidence?"

Her heart skipped a beat, but Queen Zhou tried her best not to look at Prince Yong's side concubine, and only stared at Mrs. Yun with burning eyes and asked.

"The little girl took the medicine before she died, but at that time, it was not the time to take the medicine. My master said that he would torture the people who served the little girl, but before he could do it, a servant girl tried to die. If there is no strangeness in it, how can it make sense?"

There was no time to wipe away the tears. At this moment, Mrs. Yun had lost her usual dignified appearance. At first glance, one could only feel that she was a mother who had lost her daughter.

"After all, it is the princess who is recorded in the imperial ancestral record. How can she go there so vaguely? Madam Yun, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Seemingly relieved, the queen of Zhou promised in a deep voice, while raising her eyes to say that the banquet was over, and immediately Concubine Han and others got up to leave.

In an instant, in the main hall of Fengming Palace, only Queen Zhou, Mrs. Yun, King Yong and his side concubine were left.

When Mrs. Yun left the palace, it was close to the time of the palace ban, counting back and forth, she stayed in Fengming Palace for more than an hour.

Inside Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan looked at Chu Yuan who was smiling, and asked with a puzzled look: "What's wrong? Do you think something is wrong?"

"Do you think that the side concubine of King Yong can get what she wants?"

Chu Yuan turned around and asked Fang Ruxuan.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan lowered her head in thought, Chu Yuan shook her head, "Yunfu is not so easy to bully. Back then when King Yong asked to marry Miss Yunfu, if Yun Xiang agreed just because he was King Yong, then he would be underestimating him." Now, King Yong is still King Yong, but his daughter is just gone. Once King Yong takes power, even if his daughter has a noble posthumous title, what does that mean? So, this time, the Yunfu It’s not going to let it go.”

Speaking of this matter, it is natural that Prince Yong's side concubine is the most suspected. After all, Princess Yong is dead now, and Concubine Yong's son is raised under her knees.

King Yong's side concubine benefited the most, so I'm afraid normal people would think so.

Just looking at the attitude of the Yun Mansion years after the year, it can be seen that they are not as weak and deceitful as the side concubine of Yong Wang imagined, so the plan of the side concubine of Yong Wang is probably going to fail.

"At that time, I heard that Concubine Yong was taken back to Yunfu. Whether it was Concubine Yong's own awareness of something wrong, or Yunfu's last effort, I thought the result would be different, but I didn't expect it to be the same."

Speaking helplessly, Fang Ruxuan sighed: "Prince Yong's concubine is also a cunning concubine, and she has stretched her hands into the Yunfu. The maid who fell to the pillar and died probably has something to do with her."

"Since she can do it, she is sure that she will not expose herself. If the Yunfu starts from this, I am afraid that nothing will be found out. I reckon that the matter of Princess Yong will probably be left alone, but the Yunfu will Use this to reach a deal with King Yong, otherwise, his daughter would have died in vain."

Chu Yuan analyzed and said.

"Deal? What kind of transaction method? Could it be possible to send another lady from the Yunfu to become Prince Yong's successor concubine?"

Fang Ruxuan looked suspicious.

Shaking his head, Chu Yuan sighed and said: "After all, the Yun family will not let it go. Even if the mystery of Princess Yong's death can't be found out in the end, but the person who doubts them, even if only doubts, they There will also be a follower. Let's join in the fun and just watch the show."

Regardless of the plans of Queen Zhou and King Yong's side concubine, or the pressing force of Yunfu in the future, everything is based on the fact that King Yong will ascend to power. never mind.

Therefore, to Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan, it really wasn't a big deal that the future Concubine Yong would go crazy.
