The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

After returning to the Craftsmanship Division, Peng Deyun did not rush to arrange the palace fan. Instead, he sat alone in the room and repeatedly pondered the scenes in Jingyang Palace just now.

When he mentioned the prince's office, Concubine Chen sat up straight.

Later, he said that they should not rush along the way, so as not to bump into the nobles.

The nobles in the prince's office are naturally several highnesses in the palace.

And this doesn't have to be done quickly. In addition, the saying "slow work will produce careful work", in addition to the superficial meaning, I'm afraid it also means to take time to pay attention and look carefully.

Reading a few sentences together, it means that they are trying to find out about the movements of several His Highnesses.

Peng Deyun didn't know why Concubine Chen asked people to keep an eye on the princes, but he knew in his heart that whether this errand could be guessed was the first level of Concubine Chen's test, and whether it could be handled well was the second level.

In the entire palace, there are countless slaves who want to hug Jingyang Palace's thighs. You can't let anyone try to please you. Concubine Chen wants to take people under her wing, right?

It’s good to have tests! He has to do this thing neatly and beautifully so that he can give it to Concubine Chen as a certificate of surrender!

When Luo Yin entered the room, he happened to see an exciting smile on his master's face.

"Master, is today's matter done?"

"How can it be so easy?" Peng Deyun sneered: "It still depends on how well we do our errands!"

"Errand? You mean about the fan?"

"Come here."

A few days later, Luo Yin came to return.

After he finished reporting the news he had found out in the past few days, Peng Deyun asked: "How is the fan made?"

Luo Yin said: "You have given orders. The most important thing is not to be fast, but to do the work carefully and beautifully. That's why I only got six of them now."

"Put it in the box and go to Jingyang Palace."

···

In Jingyang Palace.

Peng Deyun carefully placed a three-layered red stationery box on the table, then opened the drawers layer by layer, and presented several palace fans on black velvet in front of Jiang Shiying.

"The two fans on the first floor have handles made of ivory. One of them has a lotus pattern carved on it, with a tapestry butterfly pattern as the fan surface. The fan surface is petal-shaped, and the fan pendant at the bottom is also the same. Ivory beads. The other one has Ruyi patterns carved on it and is equipped with light blue soft smoke as a fan. The fan is round and has dark blue tassels hanging from the bottom.

Second floor...

the third floor..."

After he finished introducing them one by one, Jiang Shiying nodded slightly: "The craftsman is attentive."

"If the empress likes it, it is the craftsman's blessing."

"Give me a seat, Qiu Yu, and pour Eunuch Peng a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Peng Deyun thanked you, sat on the stool, and then said, "I have nothing to repay your kindness to Your Majesty. I have some new things that I would like to tell Your Majesty. If I can make Your Majesty happy, I am also a slave." of creation."

Jiang Shiying leaned on the back of the chair, casually took out a fan from the box with her right hand, and shook it gently: "Let's talk and listen."

Peng Deyun said: "I heard that a few days ago, the third prince and the fourth prince, who have always been close to each other, had a quarrel in the study room."

"Why?"

Although this matter is not what Jiang Shiying is most concerned about now, it is indeed very new and has not been heard in her ears before.

"I don't know."

Jiang Shiying's right hand was still waving the fan regularly: "It's inevitable that there will be some quarrels between brothers. If you don't take action, it won't be a big deal."

"Your Majesty is right." Peng Deyun agreed, and then said: "When My Majesty mentioned the fight between brothers, I remembered that the eldest prince and the fifth prince had fought with each other more than once before. But these days, the two of them have fought each other. Your Highness seems to have changed his temper."

"Oh?"

"I heard that the fifth prince seldom follows the third prince and the fourth prince recently. Instead, he is by the side of the eldest prince every day. The two of them go in and out together. They are very close."

Jiang Shiying stopped moving her hands, and then said slowly: "Children are not certain. I will be good to you today, and I will be good to him tomorrow."

What he said was quite casual. But the slap on his right hand made Peng Deyun clearly perceive that what Concubine Chen wanted to know was most likely about the eldest prince and the fifth prince!

He considered it carefully and said: "Your Majesty is right, children are the most uncertain. Today, the two princes seem to have become one person, but there is no guarantee that one day they will conflict again if one of them is not dealt with."

He looked at Jiang Shiying's expression and said tentatively: "The people around the two princes must be carefully served and served, lest the two of them suddenly get into trouble one day, or if one of them is not attentive. , it won’t be good if it hurts your precious body.”

After he finished speaking, Jiang Shiying looked at him with a smile, and then said after a long while: "You are smart and know how to handle errands."

Peng Deyun was excited. Before he could react, he heard Jiang Shiying say again: "Qiu Yu, watch and reward!"

Peng Deyun took a thin purse from Qiu Yu's hand, stood up and saluted: "Thank you, my slave, for your appreciation!"

It doesn’t matter how much the things in your purse are worth; what matters is the meaning of the reward. Thinking of this, Peng Deyun felt his heart beat faster.

"Get up." Jiang Shiying shook the fan in her hand again: "Do you know what to do?"

"Don't worry, Madam, I know this!" As he spoke, he first made a one and then a five in his hand.

Jiang Shiying nodded gently: "You can go ahead."

"The slave retire."

After Peng Deyun retreated, Qiu Yu asked: "Why do you want people to stare at the eldest prince and the fifth prince?"

Jiang Shiying put the fan on the table and said, "I'm just curious."

On the day of the Ninth Prince's full moon banquet, she had guessed that the Fifth Prince was going to trick the First Prince.

It's just that more than ten days have passed and no incident has occurred. She estimated in her mind that the fifth prince might have to dig a big hole this time.

As for what this big hole is and whether she can take the opportunity to have a hand in it, she will have to wait and find out carefully.

Just then, the craftsman came over and put them to use.

If this Peng Deyun is useful, then of course it will be good. The queen, concubine and others have been operating in the palace for many years, so she should have her own manpower.

If Peng Deyun is a traitor in his heart or has insufficient means, then that's okay. After all, she said what she said, but she didn't arrange anything or assign anything.

As for how he guessed, that's all his own business. What does it have to do with her?

···

At this time, in Xianfu Palace.

The imperial concubine was sitting on the soft couch, holding a small bowl in her hand and feeding Princess Funing fish soup.

On the other side of the soft couch, the Ninth Prince was lying on it sleeping soundly, with Xianyun and the nanny watching over him carefully.

Only halfway through feeding the fish soup, he saw Xianyue entering the door. Judging from her face, she must have something important to report.
