Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 362
"Princess Qingning praised me, it's just an ordinary snack. As long as the princess likes it, if I knew that the princess would come, I would have prepared more exquisite snacks in advance." Bai Lan said with a faint smile.

He Qingning said with a smile: "Princess, you don't have to be polite, these are already very good. Qingning sees that the wontons are refreshing, and she knows that the princess is very accomplished in cooking."

"Princess Qingning praised it. If the princess likes it, she can come here to eat every day. The prince doesn't pay attention to these things, and he doesn't pick his mouth on weekdays. He rarely cooks many things, so the cooking is a little rusty." Bai Lan said with a smile.

He Qingning nodded: "If the princess says so, then Qingning will have no shame in coming to eat every day."

"It's good to come every day. If the princess can come, the house will be full of brilliance." Bai Lan said with a smile.

He Qingning said with a smile: "I didn't expect Princess Lanxin to be so approachable. Qingning heard that Princess Lanxin was originally from the Helian tribe. She was accepted as a righteous sister by the emperor by mistake. Because she has unique opinions on many things, she was accepted Feng Yipin Princess Huguo is also allowed to wear red and golden phoenix robes, Qingning thought that it would not be so easy to get along with..."

"Princess Qingning made a joke. We are all of the same status. We are all daughters of the tribe. Why are you being so polite? Besides, those are just jokes. I happened to hit the imperial brother's mind, so I have this rumor. But how can an ordinary woman have any unique insights?" Bai Lan said modestly.

He Qingning shook his head: "Then you have to be able to guess correctly. You still have a little bit of skill in this matter. You said that in the court, how many people can guess the emperor's mind? But the princess and the prince are Among them, Qing Ning is one of the few capable people, how could Qing Ning not come to learn from the scriptures? The prince and princess probably heard about it too. It smells good. If Concubine Ning can have the skills of a prince and princess, I'm afraid she won't be just a little Concubine Ning now."

"Princess Qingning is wrong. The queen mother was once a little jade concubine. It can be seen that any of these things are not as important as the emperor's heir. If the empress Ning can give birth to a prince in the future, then worry, there will be no Is it as good as a noble concubine's day?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

He Qingning smiled: "Of course what the prince said is correct, but Concubine Ning has an unspeakable secret. I'm afraid she won't be able to have an heir in this life."

"Princess Qingning means... Concubine Ning..." Bai Lan was a little surprised.

He Qingning nodded: "Concubine Ning can't conceive at all, her body is too cold, she can't conceive at all. If she offends the emperor again and again, then there will be no bright future."

"Princess Qingning is wrong. Don't forget that Concubine Ning and Concubine Yan are both daughters of the tribe, and Concubine Yan is nothing more than a concubine. Besides, can there be an heir and the emperor's favor? It doesn't matter. The first emperor also had a favorite concubine Rongfei, and he didn't give birth to a prince, so he also favored the sixth palace? Some things are not determined by whether you can have children." Feng Yong comforted with a smile.

He Qingning shook his head: "My lord's words are wrong. Although Concubine Rong doesn't have a prince, she has a princess. Besides, Concubine Rong still has the Dong family to help with things. Concubine Ning only relies on the Suhe clan. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the height of Concubine Rong."

"Princess Qingning, don't forget, the fate of Concubine Rong in the end, so sometimes, it is not necessarily a good thing to favor the sixth palace. Concubine Ning is arrogant, but she has never heard of being punished by the emperor. It is the ability of Concubine Ning. Everyone is the daughter of the tribe. Do you think Concubine Ning may surpass Concubine Yan by a lot? Even if you have children, you should pay attention to the trend of the tribe. As you said, Concubine Rong Having the Dong family in the previous dynasty is of course helpful. But Concubine Ning has only one Suhe tribe, and there are more than one tribe’s daughters in the palace. If the Suhe tribe has a great favor with us, that’s another story, but Now that it's like this, I'm afraid that when Concubine Ning has no heirs, she can only sit on an equal footing with Concubine Yan." Feng Yong's words clearly meant something.

When He Qingning heard Feng Yong's words, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

"Princess Qingning, don't worry. The holy favor is not determined by unilateral factors. These things also need to be handled by Concubine Ning herself. We outsiders can't be in a hurry. Even if Concubine Ning can't get pregnant, it's fine if she can get pregnant in the future. , the way to get along with husband and wife is the same, how can these be taught. Besides, it is not necessarily a good thing that the palace is full of obedient women. They must have their own characteristics and be different, so that they can have The effect of a hundred flowers blooming, isn't it? Don't worry, princess, with the good relationship between the Suhe clan and us, Concubine Ning, there will be no problem." Feng Yong still did not give up and continued to test.

When He Qingning heard this, he didn't say anything, and said calmly: "Since the prince has said so, Qingning will not make things difficult for the prince. Qingning also knows that the prince also has difficulties."

"It would be best if Princess Qingning understood. I am now responsible for many things in the palace and have contact with many empresses. I am sorry to explain many things too clearly. But since empress Ning herself cannot Now that we have children, it is better to look at the new mistress who has entered the palace and find a good relationship with him, which will be beneficial in the future. A mistress with a low status cannot raise his own children. When the time comes, Concubine Ning will Wouldn't it be nice to raise her on your behalf? Or Concubine Ning can look for a famous doctor outside, and maybe she can get Concubine Ning pregnant." Feng Yong suggested.

Feng Yong's approach was partly to sell personal favors, but also to give those beautiful women the opportunity to get close to the Suhe tribe and inquire about some information.

He Qingning nodded: "Your Majesty, this is a good idea, but these new masters may not be so easy to find. You also know that Concubine Ning's temper..."

"Concubine Ning has a straightforward temperament, and she is actually not difficult to get along with. The new mistresses who entered the palace this time are all the daughters of veteran officials. They come from a scholarly family, and everyone is well-educated, so they should not be difficult to get along with. Concubine Ning is really kind-hearted, those The young master will like it. Because of her identity as the daughter of an old minister, those young masters will not have high status. This matter should be what Concubine Ning wants." Feng Yong smiled with unclear meaning.

He Qingning said with a smile: "The prince is really considerate, no wonder the emperor likes it so much, if Concubine Ning can have half of the prince and princess, then Qingning will be thankful."

"Why does Princess Qingning do this? In fact, the emperor may not always like someone who is so considerate and gentle. There must be some other feelings, right? Since Concubine Ning is at a disadvantage in other aspects, it is better to use her strengths to avoid weaknesses and choose her own advantage." That's fine." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Looking at the two of them, He Qingning knew that there was nothing to ask here, so he prepared to leave: "Then Qingning will take my leave first, and it's getting late at night, so it's inconvenient to disturb the prince and princess."

Bai Lan nodded and told Zisu: "Zisu, go get something, pack these snacks, and bring them back to the princess to eat."

"You don't need to be so polite, let the princess and prince eat." He Qingning said with a smile.

Bai Lan shook her head: "It's okay, take it with you. The princess didn't eat during the banquet, and it's always good to pad her stomach. The things in the post station are relatively rough. If you eat too much, it's not good for your stomach."

"Thank you very much, princess." He Qingning was no longer polite.

Seeing the figure leaving with Qingning, Feng Yong remembered that time when she persuaded Wei Huaqing to promote Yan Ningzi.

"Raising a tiger is a problem? The emperor's description is flattering the humble minister. The humble minister is just a gangster. Whoever benefits the minister, the minister will belong to him. How can raising a tiger be a trouble? The emperor might as well worry about the greed of the humble minister. "

"No, you won't, if you are a greedy person, your life will not be like this now."

"Is the emperor's words contemptuous of this humble minister?"

"I have never looked down on King Huiwen. If I thought so, I wouldn't be talking to you here, would I?"

"Xiliang intends to ask for peace and send the princess to marry him. The emperor just confers a nobleman, isn't it a bit low?"

"I have just entered the palace, and I have already been promoted to a noble person. Xiliang is not a big tribe, so there is no need to be so grand as a concubine."

"No, isn't that what the emperor thinks in his heart? The old daughter of Xia Ge was named a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she was promoted to a noble concubine in a short time, in charge of Fengyin. And the princess of the Suhe family seems to be a concubine as soon as she enters the palace. I became a concubine. Although the Suhe tribe is a friendly country, shouldn't we be more tolerant when dealing with hostile tribes who take the initiative to show their favor?"

"Could it be that King Huiwen doesn't know why I treat Yan Gui like this?"

"It's all about High Priest Mu's pleading. However, everyone has love. Isn't the love many years ago enough for Priest Mu to plead? Besides, Priest Mu is Priest Mu, and the princess is a princess. They should be treated separately, shouldn't they?"

"Pleading? Isn't it a threat? I naturally know that we should treat each other separately. However, this concubine has no surrender to me. She shuts me out every day. Under such circumstances, there is no reason for me to want to be promoted. ?”

"The emperor's idea is wrong. Since Yan Guiren is like this, you should give her more love, so that she will find out that you are good, right?"

"When did King Huiwen become a great love saint? I don't even know."

"Isn't the outside world always rumored like this?"

"Okay, after talking so much, let me let you go and go back to court. As for the matter of going to court, we will talk about it at that time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"If you want to return to the imperial court to be an official, I can promise you, but tell me, Bai Lan, what are you going to do?"

"What does the emperor mean by this question? If the emperor asks Wei Chen as the king, then Wei Chen can only say that Bai Lan has been lost since she was a child, and Wei Chen doesn't know what to do. If the emperor still asks Wei Chen as he once did He asked me about his identity, but I had no choice but to ask the emperor, how did the emperor know that this person is not Bai Zhi, but Bai Lan?"

"Then I ask you this. She looks so similar. Are you going to take her back?"

"Your majesty, people are similar, trees are similar, what's wrong with that? It doesn't matter whether it's Bai Zhi, Bai Lan, or Junior Sister Lan Xin. They look similar. Is it wrong? I covered it up at the beginning, just to reduce trouble. .”

"If you say that, then I have nothing to say. But you have to know that Bai Lan's identity is a problem after all."

"I don't understand what the emperor said. Bailan has been lost for many years, even if there is a similar one, how can it be Bailan himself? There are not many Bai family members? It is impossible to test relatives with blood. Even if they look similar So what? If the emperor doesn't pursue the matter, no one will. Besides, if the emperor intends to find Bai Lan's fiancée among the people, how can there be no news until now? It can be seen that the emperor's position is for the one who belongs to his heart. People, not Bai Lan. As for the person next to Wei Chen, whether it is Bai Lan or Junior Sister Lan Xin, the emperor doesn't care at all, the emperor is just looking for a crime to arrest Wei Chen, is Wei Chen right?"

"You are still like this, do you know why, did I find you at the beginning?"

"Because of the minister, is it easy to handle?"

"No, it's because, even if you know, you will soon find a way to get some benefits from me. Such a person is better than that greedy one. It's not that I couldn't find someone to help me. To be honest, I found someone to help me. That's what you've taken a fancy to. Just like now, you didn't say anything, and you're still bargaining with me. But if it's someone else, it won't be like this, and maybe you'll even shout and kill. Don't worry, I don't care who is next to you. I won't be interested in keeping her by my side for a person who sees me and shouts to kill her."

"The emperor said that there is no way to deal with karma, do you think so? Maybe Junior Sister Lan Xin regards you as an enemy. But there is no way to do this. The emperor has always had some bad things outside in these years. Fame, maybe it's because of this reputation that Junior Sister Lan Xin misunderstood you."

"I just like people like you who don't speak so bluntly. I understand the truth in my heart, so what do I need from those who dare to speak out? If the ministers of the court and the central government can all understand, I won't have such a headache every day."

"What the emperor said seems to be saying that the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are not as good as the humble ministers. I just have one thing to ask the emperor. Is the emperor really not going to consider who will take the position of the empress?"

"In some positions, no one is worse than someone. It's like at the beginning, it was better to think that I had no hope than to think that I had hope. If I named a queen, what would the imperial concubine think? It's better not to have it, so that everyone can have a better future. Go for some."

"The emperor's words are correct, but the position of Concubine Xia is also special. The Phoenix seal is not just given casually, is it?"

"The favor of Mr. Xia Ge, who has power over the government and the public, deserves a phoenix seal, isn't it?"

"The emperor has far-sighted plans."
