Chapter 286: They shouldn’t fight, right?
Ningshou Palace.
Before the arrival of the Empress Dowager, the greetings scene was always quiet. It was rare to hear the rustling sound of "discussion".
"Do you think she will come here again today?"
"Such a big thing happened to the prince. If she doesn't stay in Yuqing Palace to comfort the prince, will she go out?"
"It's hard to say. Her canonization ceremony has just been completed and it's a moment of pride. Why doesn't she come out?"
"It's really funny. If you were really proud, Long Live Lord wouldn't issue a decree of punishment at this time. Isn't this a slap in the face all at once?"
…
"Empress De Fei has arrived!"
As soon as Lu Pheasant stood behind Concubine De, he saw Concubine Hesheli holding a cup of tea and offering a toast to Concubine De: "Concubine, congratulations to Concubine De."
The rest of the words were hidden in the tea.
Concubine De glanced at Xi Concubine inexplicably but did not respond.
The people around him understood it clearly.
After the crown princess's canonization ceremony, logically speaking, she should have taken over the palace power from the first of the four concubines, no, now the first of the three concubines.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, a holy punishment came from Yuqing Palace.
Three of the people around the prince were executed and many others were imprisoned.
In this way, how could Shi, who was the crown prince's legitimate wife, not be affected and still be able to successfully take over the palace power as planned?
Since there is no hope for the Crown Princess, it seems natural for the other concubines who are preparing to seek refuge with the Imperial Concubine to say "congratulations".
Originally there were some concubines who wanted to follow suit, but seeing that Concubine De didn't even pay attention to the old man in the palace, they didn't dare to step forward to ask for trouble.
"The princess has arrived."
Shi came dressed in a Suzhou embroidered water lotus flag uniform. There were only Tongcao flowers of the same color on the two hairpins, and only third-class Dongzhu were clamped on the ears.
Seeing her dressed so plainly, everyone looked at each other with amusement in their eyes.
The Crown Princess knew what was going on and knew how to keep a low profile at this time.
Lu Pheasant saw everyone's thoughts in his eyes and bowed to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess sat opposite Concubine De, to the lower right of the Queen Mother.
After them are Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong and others.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
"Greetings to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed!"
"Everyone, get up."
The Empress Dowager looked around less than half a circle before saying, "Princess, are you here?"
"Greetings to Madam Huang!"
"Good boy, come here quickly!"
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has successfully completed your canonization ceremony, and now Yinreng has truly become a family."
No matter what time, Concubine Yi is the one who answers the question the fastest: "The Queen Mother is right. The Crown Prince is the legitimate heir of a country, and now that the Crown Princess has taken the throne, the Queen Mother can be relieved."
"Princess, why do you look so sober today?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "You are still young and can't wear red or flowers. Don't imitate us old ladies, we can't stand it."
"Quickly bring the pair of gold and jade bracelets from the Ai family's warehouse and give them to the Crown Princess."
"My granddaughter-in-law, thank you so much for the gift from Mama Huang."
"You kid, why are you being so polite to the Ai family?" The Queen Mother didn't realize that the atmosphere was wrong. She remembered something and said, "By the way, Concubine De, the Ai family heard that there is a shortage of people in the Yuqing Palace, so they have elected this year. You Then go and select the people on the list and select a few good ones to go to Yuqing Palace."
"It doesn't matter whether she is a show girl or a palace maid, let the crown prince follow her and hold her eyes together."
Many people around him opened their eyes wide.
The Empress Dowager rewarded her with a pair of gold coins, which was nothing, but she wanted to bring new people to the Yuqing Palace.
Obviously he didn't take the ones who were executed earlier seriously.
The most important thing is to let the Crown Princess take care of it together.
Could it be that they all guessed wrong?
Does the Emperor still intend to let the Crown Princess take power?
Regardless of the looks of the people around her, Concubine De naturally responded to the Queen Mother's instructions first: "I respectfully obey the Queen Mother's instructions."
The emperor ordered the people around the prince of Yuqing palace to be killed, but the empress dowager of Cining palace did not respond.
This means that the ancestors also knew it.
Now, the empress dowager came out again, still showing full care for the crown princess.
The prince's matter did not affect the prince's concubine, which made everyone confused for a moment.
In the summer, the Empress Dowager's spirits improved a lot. When the concubine was almost in good health, she carried Brother Sixteen to Ningshou Palace to show the Empress Dowager.
After some more chatting, the greetings were finally over.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
Only then did Concubine De invite Shi: "Princess, the Queen Mother told you and me to choose a beautiful girl together. Why don't we go to Yonghe Palace to discuss the regulations?"
The Crown Princess is naturally unstoppable.
The other concubines just looked at the two contenders for palace power and walked out together without incident.
Concubine Rong, the first person to eat melons, reacted immediately and wanted to follow her to watch the show.
Xi Concubine was a little unhappy. She didn't expect that she had offered a cup of tea in vain.
After all, she was an old man who entered the palace earlier than Concubine De, and she didn't say anything inappropriate. Concubine De didn't even give her face.
However, little Concubine Tong Jia was discerning, and after saluting Sifujin, she returned directly to Yongshou Palace.
The rest of the people who wanted to go to Yonghe Palace were also rejected.
Concubine De did not let anyone in.
Concubine Rong was at the door and didn't react for a moment.
Duan Concubine followed behind and said to Concubine Jing: "Are they really planning to fight inside?"
"No way?"
…
Concubine De, Crown Princess and Si Fujin, who were seriously discussing matters in Yonghe Palace, had no idea what was going on outside.
The concubines in the harem were still at a loss.
Not to mention the courtiers sandwiched between the emperor and the prince.
The big quarrel between the prince and Suo'etu soon became known to everyone.
Above the court, the emperor had a cold face.
The prince had a cold face.
Suo'etu also had a cold face.
Along with this, Nalan Mingzhu also had a cold face.
It is a great injustice that the eldest brother is still confined to the house.
Fourth elder brother invited himself out of the capital, but he was not there.
In the hall, the bachelor and several elder brothers pretended to be quails one after another.
I wish the emperor couldn't see him.
It's rare for the prince to be a bit tough for the sake of the people around him.
But at this time, if you still insist on following the emperor, is your brain not in good shape?
But the prince refused to even listen to Suo'etu's words. Who else could persuade him?
The emperor looked at the duck soup brought by the princess on the desk, especially in trance.
He had tried his best to deal with the matter, but the prince looked like he was resentful of the emperor.
On the surface, there was no resistance.
In private, I didn’t ask, I didn’t blame, I didn’t even make any statement.
how? Wouldn't he change?
The Crown Princess, on the other hand, is quite sensible and has repeatedly expressed condolences to his old father on behalf of the Crown Prince.
The Empress Dowager also followed the arrangement and prepared to send several more beautiful ladies to Yuqing Palace.
In this way, it is not considered to be a complete disgrace to Yuqing Palace.
It's just a deadlock at the moment. Do you want him, the emperor, to bow to his own son?
How unreasonable!
At this time, Liang Jiugong came in and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine De is here."
Even though Concubine De was the first among the concubines, she came to Qianqing Palace the least often.
In the past, Wu Yashi worked as an errand in the Qianqing Palace, and I think it has something to do with it.
The emperor didn't think about it carefully and just said: "Pass it in."
