Lan Ning and Jin Lingyi came into the palace to pay their respects to the queen.
Liang Xiaoying came out and said: "The Queen knows that you two are thinking about her, but she really can't be sad. It will be sad to mention it after we meet, so it would be better not to see each other. I ask the two princes and concubines to be considerate when the Queen is in a better mood. Now that you’ve calmed down a bit, I’ll invite you two to talk.”
Lan Ning and Jin Lingyi also said hurriedly: "We didn't sleep a wink all night even after we found out, let alone the Queen. Please forgive me more in front of the Queen, and please trouble the manager to convey my thoughts to the Queen. Please forgive me. Take care of yourself."
Liang Xiao also said: "I'm sure, you two go slowly."
The two came out of the Queen's Palace and arrived in front of the Furong Palace.
I happened to meet Wei Zhong.
Jin Lingyi smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Wei, where are you going?"
Wei Zhong bowed to say hello, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm going to send a message to the imperial prison. Our empress has gone to the imperial concubine's palace. You two can go to Tong'an palace!"
Lan Ning said with a smile: "I was talking to my sister on the way! I went to Tong'an Palace after paying my respects to my mother and concubine. This time it just happened, and it was even more lively when we were all together."
After saying that, he stopped going in and went to Tong'an Palace again.
Meeting Yu Guming head-on, Lan Ning asked with a smile: "Brother Ming, is it your turn to work today? I haven't seen you for a long time, and your fifth brother was still talking about you the day before yesterday!"
"Second sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, hello, I... I just finished my shift, and it's time to go... out of the palace." Yu Guming said.
"We're going to pay our respects to the concubine. Have you been there already?" Lan Ning asked.
Yu Guming nodded: "Fu Fei is here."
"Then go to your house! Your fifth brother originally wanted to treat you to a drink, but he was just afraid that he would be late again." Seeing Yu Guming go, Jin Lingyi whispered: "This Prince Yu is in every possible way Okay, it’s just a pity that I have a stutter. It shows that no one in the world is perfect.”
"This kid is kind, and everyone who knows him well will like him." Lan Ning said, "Even His Majesty relies heavily on him and trusts him. Based on this alone, many scheming people are not as good as him."
"Why don't you see His Majesty conferring a marriage to Prince Jade? I wonder which girl is lucky enough to marry him." Jin Lingyi said, "Not only is Prince Jade very good-looking, but also the Duke and the Princess are the same." Wait a minute, good guy.”
"I'm not afraid of making you laugh. The fifth prince has been worrying about Gu Ming's marriage in the past few years," Lan Ning said with a smile, "It's just that he hasn't met the right one."
The two of them came to Tong'an Palace while talking. Concubine Fu and Concubine Rong sat opposite each other and drank tea. Xue Hengzhao was also waiting in front of them.
"I told the concubine just now that you two are probably going to enter the palace today. Have you met the queen?"
"We went to Ronghua Palace first. Manager Liang Xiaoliang said that the Queen was too sad and didn't want to see her, so we asked him to tell her and came over here." Lan Ning said.
"The Yao family has really suffered a misfortune this time," Concubine Rong sighed, "I heard that Liang Jing ran away. This is really painful."
"I don't know how many days the mourning will last. The female family members don't need to be present on the first one or two days, but they should go on the third day anyway. Lingyi's wedding can be exempted, Lan Ning, don't forget it." Concubine Fu warned.
"My mother-in-law has told me that my daughter-in-law will remember it," Lan Ning said.
We talked some more and drank two cups of tea.
"It's rare that you two enter the palace, so let's have lunch here! It's a pity that it's a vegetarian meal." Concubine Rong liked these two granddaughter-in-laws very much.
Like Ma Feiyan and Yao Wanyi, she never left food.
Lan Ning and the other two thanked him and said, "We want to go for a walk in the garden and then come back to have a meal with our ancestors."
"Let's go, let's go! Young people have light legs and bright eyes. It's time to enjoy and stroll around." Rong Taifei said, "It's such a nice weather, don't stay indoors."
He also called Xue Hengzhao: "I know that you can always talk to each other, so you can go too! You don't have to wait here."
A few people came out and walked to Wanchun Garden. Lan Ning said to the maids who were following them: "There are not many people walking around in this garden today. You guys can walk around! But remember not to play around, don't Nonsense.”
Especially the two girls who followed Jin Lingyi into the palace were eager for this, so the four of them went shopping hand in hand.
Sister Lan Ning and Xue Hengzhao chose a remote pavilion here.
Lan Ning said: "Hengzhao, please sit down quickly. You always stand in front of the concubine. We don't need to pay attention to this between us."
Xue Hengzhao did not sit down, but smiled and said to Jin Lingyi, "I haven't congratulated the second prince's concubine yet! You came into the palace to greet me some time ago, but I was not in front of the concubine because I had something to do, so I couldn't see you."
"Don't be so polite. I don't like you to be like this." Jin Lingyi said, "My sister has told me that you are Lin'er's adoptive mother. She has long said that we are all sisters."
"I said the same thing. If there are outsiders in front of you, you have to pretend even if you can't help it." Lan Ning said with a smile, "It would be pedantic if we are just the ones who are so particular."
"Of course what the two princes and concubines say makes sense, but it's better to be careful here." Xue Hengzhao said, "Then please sit down on the steps in front of the pavilion. You must not sit on an equal footing with the two of you."
"Heng Zhao, who did you say was responsible for what happened to the Yao brothers?" Jin Lingyi asked Xue Heng Zhao.
"What do you think?" Xue Hengzhao asked with a smile, "Isn't it said that Liang Jingdong's hand is out there nowadays?"
"This doesn't make sense. Liang Jing must have fallen into a trap to act like this. The real person behind the scenes must have a grudge against the queen, so he came up with such a vicious plan." Jin Lingyi said, "Now the queen lets The second prince is going to search for Liang Jing to see if he can be found."
Xue Hengzhao and Lan Ning looked at each other calmly. Of course Lan Ning knew what was going on here.
But there are some things that Jin Lingyi still can't know.
"The second princess's opinion is very reasonable." Xue Hengzhao said, "In fact, if the queen and the Yao family were smarter, they should be able to guess who it is, but they are not willing to doubt that person from the beginning to the end."
"You mean... the Concubine Xian?" Jin Lingyi looked around and lowered his voice.
"Lingyi, why did you say that?" Lan Ning asked.
"The sixth prince was with the Yao brothers at that time. Why did the Yao brothers die unexpectedly, but the sixth prince was only slightly injured?" Jin Lingyi said, "If the sixth prince is lucky, God bless him. It’s just barely make sense.
But after thinking about it again, it would be in the greatest benefit to Concubine Xian and the Sixth Prince. The Yao brothers died, leaving only Yao Wanyi as an only daughter.
Concubine Xian is so good at winning over people, she is closer to Yao Wanyi than to her own daughter. Even if he knew that the queen did not mean to harm the two Yao brothers, it was still the queen's subordinates who did it.
The Yao family and his wife would unconsciously favor the sixth prince. "(End of chapter)
