The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 102 The Secret Plan (2)
Boqing handed the shredded paper to Aunt Cui, and said: "Queen Mother, put the shredded paper close to your nose and smell it carefully, you will find that there is a faint fragrance in the smell of ink, if the concubine guessed correctly, That should be the emperor’s usual ambergris.”

After receiving the shredded paper from Aunt Cui, the Empress Dowager sniffed it according to Boqing's words, and sure enough, as Boqing said, there was a faint smell, which was exactly the same as the incense used by Emperor Yuan every day, and she couldn't help being slightly fascinated. Framed his own son, really heard.

This emperor, this son, what is he thinking?
After regaining consciousness, seeing Baoqing still kneeling on the ground, she said angrily: "Aunt Cui, quickly help the girl up, the Ai family forgot, could it be that she also forgot."

Aunt Cui immediately laughed and said, "My maidservant sees the Queen Mother doting on Mrs. Zuoxiang as if she was doting on her own granddaughter. She thought you were enjoying the gift from her children and grandchildren, so don't dare to disturb you." stand up.

She caressed the hem of her skirt, and said with a smile: "To speak of unruly words, in the heart of the concubine, the queen mother is the same as the concubine's grandmother, and no one loves the concubine as much as the queen mother." The premise is that there is no Offend the interests of the royal family.

The two were joking with each other, the queen mother focused her attention, looked at the fickleness, and said dullly: "Why did the emperor do this?"

Boqing naturally understands why the emperor did this. One is to test whether his son has the heart to spy on the throne; Don’t dare to speculate on the holy will.”

"Girl, you are always cautious. Aijia doesn't make it difficult for you." The queen mother knew that she had scruples and dared not speak lightly. It was the performance of this duty that made the queen mother like it even more.

Deliberately hesitated for a while on a flimsy face, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I have a small suggestion. The sixth prince is away all the time. If there is no one in Beijing to take care of it, it will be fine. I think it should be done first. The prince accepts a concubine. When the sixth prince is not in Beijing, he can also take care of the sixth prince. What does the queen mother think?" After finishing speaking, she lowered her eyes and smiled coldly.

The hand of the Empress Dowager holding the teacup froze, she pondered for a moment and said: "It is true that we should recruit a concubine for Yi'er, but, except for your Zhaoyue, the Ai family has never seen him since his concubine left, yes Whose girl has thought about it. You have a suitable candidate in your mind. "

Seeing that the Queen Mother threw the question to her, Bo Qing hesitated and said, "I have someone in mind, and it is the most suitable concubine, but I am afraid that you will not like the Queen Mother too much."

"Who?"

The Queen Mother asked anxiously, and after thinking about it ruthlessly, she smiled and said, "It's Miss Yuyanhua from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

The queen mother was taken aback, and said: "Her conduct is too bad, what can I do?"

Bo Qing had expected that the Queen Mother would be like this, and slowly explained: "In terms of character, Miss Yu is indeed guilty, but if it is for the future of the prince, it is very important to use the title of a concubine in exchange for the long-term support of the Right Prime Minister." It's a good deal. The concubine's humble opinion, the Queen Mother forgives me."

Words, needless to say too much, point to point.

The Empress Dowager was a smart person, so she quickly saw the stakes, took a sip of tea and said, "I'm afraid this will arouse the emperor's suspicion of Yi'er even more."

"The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry about this. She just said that the Right Prime Minister has been away for many years and often worries about his family in Beijing, especially his daughter's marriage. In order to make the Right Prime Minister feel at ease, the Sixth Prince originally took his concubine's daughter as a concubine. Besides, Miss Yu is interested in the prince, there is nothing wrong with it." Seeing that the queen mother hesitated, Bo Qing immediately comforted her.

The queen mother still looked hesitant, and said worriedly: "Ai Jia, I'm still a little worried, what should I do if the Prime Minister disagrees."

After Boqing heard this, she couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Queen Mother, you really worry too much. Although Miss Yu came from a good family, but her mother's status is humble, unless she is matched with an official of the fourth or fifth rank, she can only be expected to sit in the royal family. If you are a small family, it is as decent and beautiful as being a concubine of the prince. Besides, Miss Yu is interested, so why not the Queen Mother is beautiful."

"The Ai family should consider the matter of concubines. The emperor just hit them with a sap just now. It is inappropriate to accept a concubine here immediately. After discussing it with Yi'er, we will make a decision." The queen mother was still undecided, Wan Ran reject.

Boqing smiled disapprovingly and said: "I don't care, it's just my humble opinion. It's just a matter of time, the Queen Mother has to hurry up, after all, the sixth prince is the leader of the army, and he can't leave the barracks for too long." Although the Queen Mother refused, she has already There is a [-]% to [-]% certainty that it will work.

I smiled coldly in my heart, Yu Yanhua, let's see how I can make your life worse than death.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xue has come to greet the Empress Dowager." Just as he was speaking, the eunuch outside the door came to announce.

Bo Qing immediately stood up and said: "Queen Mother, it's getting late, the concubine will leave first, and then enter the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother."

The queen mother raised her head and looked outside: "Chatting with you, the days passed so fast, before you know it, it is already this time, and the Ai family will not keep you. Aunt Cui, you send the wife of the Zuo Xiangfu for the Ai family, and then invite Concubine Xue come in."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Outside the main hall, Yun Xueer was walking in from the palace gate, and happened to meet Baoqing who was walking out of the hall.

Boqing saw that Yun Xueer had changed into a concubine's attire, and she couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly. It seemed that she was warned by someone yesterday, so she smiled inwardly, stopped and stood, and saluted with slightly sideways eyes: "Concubine Zuo Xiangfu Bo Sir, I have met Concubine Xue, good luck to you."

Yun Xueer looked at Bo Qing's clothes, and she couldn't help but said suspiciously: "So it's Mrs. Zuo Xiang." But she didn't let Bo Qing get up, but looked at Bo Qing and said coldly: "I heard that you are the one who objected to letting Zuo Xiang Miss Fu, marry the Sixth Prince."

It turned out that it was Feng Yunyi who was embracing the injustice, and the corners of his lips were flirtatiously raised, and he raised a hint of sarcasm: "Your Majesty, in a large audience, is embracing the injustice for the sixth prince, so you are not afraid that the wall has ears and implicates the sixth prince. If any gossip reaches the emperor's ears, just It’s not something that can be solved by changing clothes.”

Arrogant yesterday, stupid today, this woman will not live long.

Yun Xueer's complexion changed, and she couldn't help immediately looking at Aunt Cui who was standing next to her, feeling greatly unnatural.

Boqing narrowed her eyes, and said coldly: "Also, it's not that the concubine wants to oppose Zhaoyue's marriage to the Sixth Prince, but the concubine is just following the emperor's will. Are the words of Concubine Xue questioning the emperor's decision?"

The tone behind Boqing suddenly changed, showing a bit of sharpness, her eyes swept coldly, and came out with a cold air, Yun Xueer was horrified, and couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Avoiding the flinty gaze, Yun Xueer said in embarrassment: "I still want to greet the queen mother, so let's go first. Let's go." He greeted the accompanying maids and eunuchs, and quickly left the range of flirtatious sight.
