Chapter 141 Princess: No One's Younger Sister Is Poor

The result of the final discussion between Concubine Luo and Qin Shou was that they broke up unhappily.

Concubine Luo couldn't figure it out, this person hated her so much in the past, and wished that the two of them had nothing to do with each other, but later he could kill her coldly and seize the Xi's family, because he felt that she was hindering him.

This time, she took the initiative to reconcile and leave without hindering his great cause, but instead he flirted with her, as if there was an illusion that if the brown sugar got on it, it would not come off.

She was inexplicably irritable and impatient, but she couldn't tell where she was unhappy.

A few days later, she was planning to have another detailed talk with Qin Shou, when news came from the palace——

Feng Jinxiu, the first daughter of the Feng family, has a respectful and gentle personality, and is deeply favored by saints, so she is specially introduced into the palace, bestowed with Yuan characters, and sealed with Fangyi...

This news is no different from a boulder being thrown into the lake, causing a huge uproar in the capital, especially the four major families.

Except for the Sima family who was already on the emperor's side, the remaining three families, together with the Feng family, were all dizzy by this imperial decree.

Feng Jinxiu couldn't come back to her senses for a few days in a row. It wasn't until Gong'e, who came to pick her into the palace, began to teach her the rules with a straight face, that she had such a real feeling.

Concubine Luo was not surprised by this, she invited the daughter of the aristocratic family to come to the mansion that day on purpose to let the emperor's elder brother meet Feng Jinxiu first.

Among the four major families, the Feng family is actually the best to win over.

Since the merchants value profits, and only have wealth but no power, even if the Feng family has been an imperial merchant for many years, it is no different. Therefore, especially when the central palace is hanging in the air, Feng Jinxiu is called into the palace. The meaning is so profound that it has to make people think too much.

And the Feng family must fully support Feng Jinxiu, not to mention coveting the posthumous position, but being able to become a favorite concubine of a generation is also an extremely rare opportunity for the Feng family who are eager to gain power.

Therefore, the Feng family will not be easily wooed by other forces.

Of the four major families, the second is the Gu family, needless to say, the rest is the Shangguan family with a heavy hand.

Concubine Luo had discussed with the emperor's elder brother that before the queen mother returned to Beijing, she would stay on hold for the time being, so as to save Shangguan's family from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Concubine Luo has also heard that the old fox of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Ji, is present in the court these few days. No matter what happens in the court, he is always smiling and gentle, neither mixing nor provoking, and his demeanor is more loyal than anyone else. .

The situation in the capital slowed down a bit, and the rest could only be figured out by the emperor's breath. Concubine Luo also felt relieved. She heard that Qin Shou had left the palace in the past few days and was with Gong Gong. The king drank and had fun.

She frowned. In the past, Qin Shou and Prince Gong took advantage of the opportunity of sending her to Rongzhou to collude with each other, but now, she is not sure. Qin Shou, who must have remembered what happened in her previous life, and Prince Rong, who hadn't, still had a lot to do. Big difference.

Moreover, because of the Tian family's successive actions against the aristocratic family recently, she understands that the third king of Shun Ning and Gong, who is the hostage of the capital, is more or less impatient.

As for these three kings, they are still the uncles of Emperor Xi Chaosheng and Concubine Luo in name. When the first emperor was there, he was worried that the vassal kings would cause chaos, so he imprisoned these three kings in the capital and enfeoffed the land. Only women and children were left. One or two constraints.

The first emperor was originally a decisive and ruthless character, the reason why he didn't touch the three kings, but raised fish and meat, was just because he was too lazy to bear the crime of murdering his brother.

However, the first emperor didn't know that when he left, the three kings who had been dormant for many years were ready to move. In those few years, Xichao was young, the queen mother was regent, and a woman in the harem. It was at that time that he took the opportunity to win over the powerful ministers, and each worked his own way, and the ambition that had been hidden for many years came out again.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager also had some tricks, united the masses to check and balance, and insisted on fighting for a way out under the watchful eyes of the wolves.

In addition, Xi Chaosheng was born orthodox, not only the three kings, but also the vassal kings of Kyushu wanted to expose the rebellion. For a while, they were forced to have no natural excuses, and they were always afraid of each other.

After this, many years have passed, and now Xi Chaosheng is about to reach the age of Guan's personal administration, and the three kings can't sit still for a long time.

Concubine Luo thought for a while, she summoned Mingzhu, looked him up and down carefully, and just when Mingzhu felt nervous, she heard Concubine Luo say lightly, "I remember correctly, you used to be so cruel. He deserves the favor of Prince Gong and Uncle Huang."

Mingzhu didn't understand what Concubine Luo wanted to do, he knelt down shaking his long sleeves and said, "The little one has served Prince Gong for a few days, but after a few days, seeing the princess, the little one has only the princess in his heart and has no second thoughts. .”

Concubine Luo clasped her hands together, her long sleeves twitched slightly, "I don't believe in your loyalty, but since you are loyal, it's good, and it will save me a lot of talking."

Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, he felt that there was something in Concubine Luo's words, but he didn't understand.

Concubine Luo lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Since it's Prince Gong's old love, I think you will go back this time, he must be very happy..."

"Princess, please don't drive me away," Ming Zhu hurriedly interrupted Concubine Luo's words, and he kowtowed.

Concubine Luo was unmoved, she continued, "Such an interesting little servant, how can I be willing to drive you away, but I just want you to go to Prince Gong's mansion from time to time, if the emperor asks something, You tell the truth."

Ming Zhu took a peek at the princess, making sure he really didn't want to drive him away, so he rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I don't understand."

Concubine Luo glanced at him, she didn't know that this person was so stupid, she had to put the words on the table and speak clearly to understand.

She raised her eyebrows, "I just want you to go to Prince Gong's side. If you can get something out of Prince Gong, that's your skill. If the emperor wants to ask about my palace, you have to say something. There are two things to say, but if you go and come back, you have to report it to me."

Mingzhu nodded, "I have written it down, little one."

Concubine Luo smiled, satisfied, "Go down."

After Mingzhu retreated, Concubine Luo took the tea cup from Shouyang and took a sip. She narrowed her peach blossom eyes to hide the calculation in her eyes.

Shouyang watched Mingzhu retreat thoughtfully, and then she asked softly, "What is the princess trying to do? Knowing about Prince Gong's wolf ambitions, why did you let Mingzhu go to Prince Gong's side?"

Concubine Luo swallowed the tea in her mouth, pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "Isn't Prince Gong unable to sit still, he invites his son-in-law every day, doesn't he just want to do something? If so, I will give With this opportunity, and the suddenness of the assassination that night at Putuo Temple, I thought that the Shangguan family and the Sima family were not that stupid to do such a blatant thing, so it's not good."

Moreover, the villain who took her abducted at that time did not intend to kill her, but rather wanted to use her as a hostage to make the emperor's elder brother use her as a weapon.

Therefore, she was more suspicious of the Three Kings.

Speaking of the three kings, apart from Prince Gong, who she can touch right now, the rest of King Shun and King Ning, she can only suspect that there is some ambiguity between King Ning and the Queen Mother, and most likely, King Ning is probably Xi. Fu's biological father, as for King Shun, she knew nothing about it.

In the afternoon, Xi Fu finished her homework assigned by Shouyang and came to see Concubine Luo. She was happily eating her snacks, but she felt uncomfortable when she was stared at by Concubine Luo's inscrutable eyes.

Concubine Luo turned away the people around her, and then asked Xifu, "Do you know your own background?"

Since the day when Xifu was able to see the power of Great Yin clearly, she didn't treat her like a child. Xifu also has a lot of ideas about many things.

Xifu was holding a small plate of snacks, her eyes under her bangs were round and clear like crystal grapes, she nodded after she swallowed the snacks in her mouth.

Concubine Luo asked again, "Do you know who your biological father is?"

Xi Fu almost choked on this question, she tightened the plate in her hand, and said hesitantly, "I can guess."

That is to know.

In this way, Concubine Luo felt relieved, "Have you ever met?"

Shifu wrinkled her whole small face, and her childish childishness with baby fat was very cute, "He won't let me talk about it."

Concubine Luo raised her eyebrows, she actually touched her.

"How does it feel?" she asked again.

Xi Fu tilted her head to think for a while, and said carefully, "It's okay, it's not hot or cold, there's no emotion, it's just blood relationship."

Concubine Luo raised her eyes now, her attitude towards her biological daughter was exactly the same as that of the empress mother, just give birth and not raise, after all, Xifu was not born in anticipation, it was just a combination of interests.

Concubine Luo thought for a moment, looked at the handrail with her fingers and said, "As soon as the queen mother comes back, the Shangguan family and the three kings will be uprooted."

Xifu rolled her eyes and realized what Concubine Luo wanted to say. She unconsciously picked at the edge of the plate and thought for a long time before saying, "I'd better go see him, in case he still cares about something, it's shameless." The queen mother made a move, so she surrendered first?"

Concubine Luo sneered at Xifu's words, if the three kings were easy to dismiss, they wouldn't have passed so many years and still entrenched in the capital, staring at the palace.

However, she was also really curious about what the queen mother did back then to make King Ning, who was equally ambitious, turn around and support his elder brother, even ignoring her own ambitions for the time being.

She could only think about such things in her heart. If she really asked her mother, it would be a strange thing not to be beaten.

Xi Fu did what she said, and on the second day, Concubine Luo heard that she was going out with Liu Gong'e and her own chief guard.

Concubine Luo was not at ease, so she changed her clothes and went out with Xifu, of course she didn't make a big show, and went out from the side door of the princess mansion very cautiously.

Xifu only went to the biggest restaurant in the capital - Chunfenglou. As soon as she entered, the shopkeeper came up and welcomed her into the first room of Tianzi Restaurant on the third floor.

Concubine Luo knew this restaurant, and in fact the dishes here were not bad, but she saw that the shopkeeper was not curious about Xifu's identity, and also prepared the first restaurant in Tianzi, her eyes darkened in an instant.

Xifu didn't realize it, she held Concubine Luo intimately, and whispered in her ear, "Sister, let's go back after eating here, I heard that the roast duck taste here is unique in the capital .”

She already knew Xifu's inability to remember her mouth very well, so she gave her a cold look, but she didn't say she disagreed.

Xi Fu was grinning, she knew that her sister had a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, and was extremely arrogant, but actually she loved her quite a lot in her heart, just like in modern times.

The two of them entered the first room of the Tianzi Shop, and they were greeted with bursts of cool air. Concubine Luo took a closer look, and found that the room had been generously built with two icicles, so it was very cool in midsummer.

"It turns out that Mimi is here too." A deep voice suddenly sounded from the room. Concubine Luo and Xifu turned their heads, and saw behind twelve landscape screens, sitting in moon-white robes, the color of the lake. A middle-aged man with a white jade tassel.
