The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

After Jia Lian returned to the mansion, Baoyu's fever had subsided, and because Xu Qingheng felt that Xu Qingheng had fallen asleep, he went back to the back building to rest.

When I woke up the next day, I heard from Wu'er that Jiamu and Xu Qingheng already knew about Yinglian's mother and daughter, and had sent people to send clothes and silver to Shuiyue Nunnery; at noon, I heard that King Beijing had personally gone to Lin's house to pay homage. Zhen Yinglian: In the evening, the affairs of the Zhou family came like a flood.

While Jia Lian was reading in the back building, he heard his nanny Li Madam under the shed outside tremblingly saying to Xu Qingheng, Yingchun, and Xiangyun: "It's amazing, Zhou's family is carrying the coffin outside like running water."

"Poor people must have something to hate, don't let their family offend people." Xiangyun commented that it had nothing to do with himself.

Nanny Li said: "People in the city say that the Zhou family snatched the Taoist priest from the Wu family. They all say that the Wu family knew what the Taoist priest was going to do, and they deliberately recruited the Taoist priest as a treasure to attract the Zhou family. grab it."

"No way, the daughters of the two families are both concubines in the palace. It is said that the two noble concubines have always been in harmony. How could they do such a thing?" Xu Qingheng asked.

Yingchun said worriedly: "Once you enter the palace gate as deep as the sea, you don't know what will happen to Tanchun in the future."

Nanny Li smiled and said: "Third Miss goes to the Fifth Emperor's Palace, and has nothing to do with those noble concubines."

"I'm afraid that neither of the two families will try to visit their relatives." Xiangyun said again.

Jia Lian put down the book in the room, pondering what Nanny Li said, it must have been released by the Zhou family, and read the book for a while, when it was time to eat, Xu Qingheng also talked about the Zhou family on the east kang.

"You said, are the Wu and Wu families going to tear each other apart this week?" Xu Qingheng asked.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Don't tear your face apart and ask the Zhou family to admit that their family has done something harmful to nature and reason, so that they attract enemies?"

Xu Qingheng held the chopsticks for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Yinglian's funeral, really don't want to take a look at it? Xianglian was confused for a while..."

"No, you can secretly set up an altar in my back building to worship her, and don't spoil my affairs," Jia Lian said.

Xu Qingheng smiled and agreed, and then said: "Sister-in-law Li's brother in the east seems to have had some conflicts with the people of the Zhongshun Palace. Yesterday, sister-in-law Li said that his brother has changed from the way he praised you when he mentioned it in the past two days. Instead, I slander you a few words, if you have a chance, talk to him, and if there is any misunderstanding, it will be fine."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's very unnecessary. He must have been instigated by the King of Beijing and listened to the words of the King of Beijing. It's going to rain, mother wants to marry, let him."

"...Did you ever cry for someone?" Xu Qingheng stared at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian looked up at her and saw her eyes were red and swollen, so she knew that she had cried for Yinglian. Now she stopped her chopsticks and held her hands in her sleeves to recall, and after a long time, she held her chopsticks again and said, "No."

"One weirdo." Xu Qingheng snorted, and said, "According to me, the two noble concubines Zhou and Wu are going to be embarrassed in the palace."

Jia Lian smiled nonchalantly, "Tanchun has entered the palace, I don't know when we will see each other again, and I will give her two precious things as a reminder."

"Hey."

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Xu Qingheng sent someone to give Tanchun and Fu Qiufang a pair of hair masks and two pieces of cloth.

Seven days later, two young eunuchs and a sedan chair were excluded from the palace, and Tanchun and Fu Qiufang, a master and a servant, were quietly brought into the palace; Aunt Zhao was locked up by Jia Zheng again because Tanchun was too ostentatious backyard.

In October, the Zhou family organized funerals arbitrarily, dyeing the whole city white.

At the end of the next month, I heard that Fu Qiufang, who had just entered the palace and was not very big, was met by today when she was paying her respects at the concubine Zhou. Today admired Fu Qiufang for her pretty appearance, gentle temperament, and humility, so she was named a genius. people.

After the news came out, Fu Shi immediately came to the door with generous gifts, even if Jia Lian asked him to wait in the front hall on purpose, he didn't seem annoyed.

After entering the outer study room, Fu Shi knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Lian who was feeding mynah with a silver spoon, and said, "Teacher is really the reborn parents of our brothers and sisters!"

Jia Lian put the spoon in Quanfu's hand who was holding the plate behind him, and said with a smile, "What does your sister have to do with me if she is a talented person?"

Fu Shi kowtowed, and said with a smile: "Why should the teacher be modest? If it wasn't for Concubine Zhou, how could my sister be a talented person? The Zhou family has no relationship with the students, but they have friendship with the teacher." People." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again and again, thankful that he worshiped Jia Lian in time.

"Get up, let others see the joke." Jia Lian gave him a little help.

"Yes, yes." Fu Shi quickly stood up, and showed Jia Lian one by one the gifts he had brought.

Jia Lian glanced lightly, and saw that Fu Shi had brought something that really fell in his favor. It turned out to be two plates of real gold and silver, and a pair of naive pugs.

Jia Lian took a puppy and hugged it in his arms, then took a snack from the plate held by Quanfu and fed it to the puppy.

Fu Shi saw that Jia Lian's mood was not showing, so he waited tremblingly for him to speak.

"If you have anything to say, tell me." Jia Lian spoke first.

Fu Shi hurriedly said, "The students have nothing to say."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I really have nothing to say? Didn't you want to ask why Uncle Xue's sister didn't move and your sister came first?"

Fu Shi sneered and said nothing, after Fu Qiufang became a talented person, Fu Shi was surprised and delighted, and also doubted about friendship, Jia Lian and Xue Pan had the deepest friendship, why Xue Baochai didn't move, his sister showed her face in front of today .

Jia Lian sat on the railing boldly, put the pug on his knees, and said eloquently: "I said before that your sister looks very similar to the eldest girl of Xue's family. But if you have a little self-knowledge, you will know that you are fundamentally different from me. Uncle Xue, the girls in your family can’t compare to the big girl in the Xue family in terms of self-cultivation and beauty. Let me tell you the truth, your sister is just an introduction. When I meet her today, I will always hear people mention that there is a girl who looks similar to your sister. Miss Xue, who is similar but better than your sister. After she has longed for it for a long time, Miss Xue comes out with her pipa half covered. In this way, Miss Xue is even more different in Jinshang's heart."

Fu Shi pursed his lips resentfully, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid my sister will be left behind after seeing the real Buddha."

"Fool!" Jia Lian sneered, "You don't know that you are glad that your sister resembles Miss Xue, and you even complained. If there is no Miss Xue, your sister will only be a flash in the pan. Where is the palace? What kind of women are there? If it is not extremely beautiful, How can a woman who is extremely intelligent stand out? Now that there is Miss Xue, if one person is separated from Jinshang, the other can reconcile it and make Jinshang remember the good of the other. In this way, the kindness of the two Pets can last longer."

The words were like enlightenment, and immediately made Fu Shi change his mind.

After Fu Shi got up, he slapped himself on the face and cursed: "This stupid thing, how dare you doubt the teacher. The Xue family girl is a god, and my sister is a clay Bodhisattva. If there is no Xue family girl, my sister would What is a clay bodhisattva? With Miss Xue, my younger sister can get incense to worship."

"Just figure it out." Jia Lian gently stroked the dog's head.In fact, he didn't do anything. All of this was presumably because Fang Wenhui hid his strength and bided his time, and pushed Xue Baochai and Fu Qiufang out with the help of Concubine Zhou and Wu's fighting spirit.

Now that Fu Shi had figured it out, he vowed again: "The student has been taught by the teacher before, and this time when someone comes to announce the good news, he will not dare to reward those eunuchs rashly, let alone make connections in a muddle-headed way. At home, he just pretends to be Don't ask about it."

"You've done a good job. If your powers reach the sky, Concubine Zhou would be stupid to support your sister." Jia Lian said again.

"Yes, students just listen to the teacher's orders."

"I'm tired, you step back."

"Yes." Fu Shi bowed his body and went out, out of the Rongguo Mansion, his face couldn't help showing color, suddenly thinking of Jia Lian's expression of calm and indiscriminate, he forced himself to suppress his joy, imitating Jia Lian's expression look.Passing by Jia Zheng's gate, I saw Jia Zheng standing in front of the gate looking around, and without getting off the horse, he just cupped his hands and called out to the teacher. , suddenly saw that the seal pasted on the door was gone, and several people dressed as eunuchs entered one after another.So he turned his horse's head and went to Rongguo Mansion again.

This time there was no need to pass it on, so the servants let him in.

Fu Shi rushed into Jia Lian's outer study and said in a fuss, "Teacher, the seal on the door of Ningguo's mansion is gone."

"It's long gone. I went to Tianxiang Tower to see it at the beginning of the month." Jia Lian frowned slightly. After Fu Shi left for a while, he still sat motionless and fed the dog.

Fu Shi hurriedly said, "A few eunuchs have gone in."

"Oh?" Jia Lian frowned, stood up and said, "Go and have a look, maybe the palace sold the house, I don't know."

"Hey." Fu Shi quickly bowed and took off the dog hair stuck to Jia Lian's clothes, and respectfully asked Jia Lian to go ahead.

It was very cold at this time, and the dust on the ground was blown up by the wind, making people unable to open their eyes.

Especially in front of the gate of the Ningguo Mansion, it was more like a desolate wild north wind blowing wildly and violently, making people's lips purple with cold.

Wrapped in a squirrel cloak, Jia Lian led Fu Shi to push open the gate of Ningguo Mansion, and saw a man squatting with his head curled up by the gatehouse watching them.

After carefully identifying it, before Jia Lian could see it clearly, the man ran to hug Jia Lian's feet and cried for his second uncle.

Fu Shi said with a stern face: "What, carefully stained my teacher's clothes."

"Second Uncle, it's me." The man raised his face.

"Brother Rong?" Jia Lian asked hesitantly.

"Second Uncle, you recognized me." Jia Rong said tearfully.

It's okay to see that his clothes are ragged, his handsome face is wrinkled and disfigured, if he stands with Jia Qiang, he looks as old as Jia Qiang's elders.

"Why are you here? Where's your father?" Jia Lian asked.

Jia Rong hurriedly wiped her face with her sleeves, and dragged her voice and said: "I don't know where my father is. I have been cleaning the toilet in the palace. I was cleaning the toilet early this morning. I heard someone call me out of the palace, saying I'm here to show the fifth prince the yard."

"Is this house given to the Fifth Prince?" Fu Shi asked, and he quietly covered his nose when he heard Jia Rong talk about cleaning the toilet.

Jia Rong smiled happily: "I heard that our aunt Tanchun has followed the fifth prince? That's great. When my aunt comes in, my nephew will be able to stand up."

Jia Lian rested his hands on the stove, seeing that Jia Rong's clothes were thin and shivering, so he handed the stove to him.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for the reward." Jia Rong said happily.

Jia Lian asked with a smile, "Which sent you out?" He somehow called a sinner who cleaned the toilet to see the mansion. This move would not only humiliate the fifth prince, but also humiliate Tanchun.

Jia Rong shook her head and said with a shy face: "Second uncle is sorry for my poor nephew, tell my mother to tell her to send someone to bring me some clothes and bedding, and to bring me food every day. Life here is really not human. !"

"Isn't it better than cleaning the toilet?" Jia Lian saw three eunuchs coming in with a bunch of keys from a distance, and bowed his hands to the eunuchs, and said with a smile, "Hi everyone, this is Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion next door, please." Everyone send my regards to Eunuch Dai Quan and Eunuch Chang Sheng."

The three eunuchs smiled perfunctorily.

One said: "We want to see Eunuch Dai Quan and Eunuch Chang Sheng, but we can't."

Another said: "Second Master Jia, we have to sweep the yard. Look..."

"I'll go out now." Jia Lian smiled, ignoring Jia Rong's pitiful eyes, and walked out.

"The poor prince's children have ended up as slaves." After leaving the door, Fu Shi sighed while looking at the tall archway.

Jia Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, and also looked at the memorial archway of Rongguo Mansion, beckoned Zhao Tianliang, and told him in a low voice: "Go to Chief Steward Dai and ask if there is anyone for the Fifth Prince Concubine. If Dai If the father-in-law says no, then you say that someone is eyeing the fifth prince's concubine's seat, and that person deliberately asked the sinner of the Jia family to come out of the palace to show the fifth prince the house, just waiting to humiliate Miss Tanchun in the future."

"Yes." Zhao Tianliang agreed and went.

Fu Shi was close, he listened to Jia Lian's words, his eyes rolled around, and he leaned closer and sighed softly: "As expected of a teacher, you can know autumn with a single leaf."

Jia Lian smiled and didn't say much.

Besides, Zhao Tianliang took Jia Lian's words and went straight to Dai Quan's house outside the palace. After waiting for a quarter of an hour in the foyer, he saw a sedan chair being brought up, and then Dai Quan got down from the sedan chair slightly drunk. .

"Whose house did Eunuch Dai go to for a wedding?" Zhao Tianliang hurriedly bowed to help.

Dai Quan laughed and said, "It's either the Zhou family or the Wu family, who else could it be?" Thinking of something, he said again: "By the way, you should go to the Fu's house to eat. I heard that the Fu family made your meal. The student of the second master of the family, and worshiped the second master of your family as a teacher again?"

Zhao Tianliang was taken aback, knowing that Dai Quan wouldn't ask such a question for no reason, it must be that after Fu Qiufang became a talented person, someone in the palace investigated, so he said angrily: "Yes, your old man didn't see Fu Shi The flattery in front of the second master, the complacency in front of the second master. The second master annoys him so much, yet wants to talk to him kindly."

"...but is there something difficult for Second Master Lian?" Dai Quan's drunkenness faded by two points.

Zhao Tianliang nonsense said: "There is no embarrassment, the second master is willing to associate with those who wait for the front and back? Even Fu Shi's younger sister entered the palace, it was the second master's last resort. I thought that the girl was beautiful Not very outstanding, entering the palace is just the life of a court lady, and she has fallen into the noble eyes of today."

Dai Quan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "That's right, your second master also has to do this because he is serving his superiors. It can be seen that the Xu family, the Li family, and the Yuan family brothers he has been with in the past are all good people who have learned good character. .”

Zhao Tianliang got closer and said in a low voice: "If there is anything up there, father-in-law must speak for our second master, don't make him feel wronged."

"Of course." Dai Quan took a breath, put his hands behind his back, thinking that Jia Lian is not a fool, and besides, he is very highly valued today, saying a few words for him can be regarded as a favor for Jia Lian, "Come here, What is it for?"

Zhao Tianliang smiled and said, "It's windy outside, so my father-in-law went into the room and sat down." So he helped Dai Quan into the room again, and seeing treasures from all over the world gathered in Dai Quan's room, he thought who did these respects, Looking at it, changing clothes for Dai Quan, he told Dai Quan what Jia Lian had said, fearing that Dai Quan would not understand, he told him what happened in Ningguo Mansion.

"Oh, I see." Dai Quan squinted his eyes and sat on the chair, sipping strong tea while nodding.

"Eunuch, do you really understand?"

Dai Quan sneered and said, "I don't think there are people in the court who can bypass our house to handle affairs." He also thought that that person was not Chang Sheng, but some daring inner eunuch who colluded with foreign officials.

Zhao Tianliang secretly thought that everyone can only see his own side of things, and after finishing the errands, he didn't leave, and asked: "I wonder if Miss Lin and Miss Xue in the palace are okay?"

When Dai Quan asked about Lin and Xue, he laughed loudly and said: "Miss Lin and Miss Xue are really rare ladies in the world! They have gone, and even the princess and princess have to stand aside in front of the empress dowager and concubine. The empress also cherished them very much. Two days ago, the palace was admiring daffodils. The empress dowager ordered them to compose poems. Miss Lin and Miss Xue's poems were evenly divided, and it was impossible to judge which one was better. The empress dowager asked them to write poems. His poems were passed on to today's critics. Today, Ms. Lin is judged to be the number one scholar, and Ms. Xue is the second place."

Zhao Tianliang smiled and said: "I'm afraid that the princess and princess are inconvenient to serve in front of the queen mother and concubine, so she deliberately let them go." After finishing speaking, he repeatedly conveyed Jia Lian's concern to Dai Quan, and then withdrew.

Dai Quan waited for Zhao Tianliang to leave, and the drunkenness completely dissipated. A pair of old eyes were fixed on the old birthday star on the teapot in the room. After a while, he immediately got up, put on his clothes and went out.

"Elder-in-law is not on duty tonight, do you still want to enter the palace?" Seeing that he was going out, the little girl hurriedly asked.

"Prepare an unused sedan chair, and go to Chang Sheng's mansion." Dai Quan said, and went out. When he reached the front yard, he saw a sedan chair with an unusual design and color had stopped. "Go through the back door."

"Yes."

The servants listened to what they said, and when Dai Quan got into the sedan chair, they carried him to Chang Sheng's house through the back door.

Chang Sheng had several small courtyards outside the palace, one of which was hidden in a deep alley, and he secretly raised one wife and four concubines in this small courtyard.

Seeing Dai Quan coming to the door suddenly, Chang Sheng was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, thinking how Dai Quan knew his whereabouts clearly, so he hurriedly ordered his wife and concubine to prepare a banquet, and chose a warm and gorgeous warm pavilion to invite Dai Quan eat wine.

After Dai Quan sat down with a cold face, he scolded: "You stupid thing, you only know how to guard against me, I don't know if someone is stepping on you and me."

Chang Sheng has always been close to Dai Quan, and Fang was wary of Dai Quan, but Dai Quan said that someone was coming to share power with them, so he hurriedly asked what happened.

Dai Quan then told about the affairs of Ningguo Mansion, "Then Jia Rong is a guilty person who should have died of old age in the palace. Who is so capable and dares to release him? And let him go back." Old house!"

Chang Sheng hurriedly stood up and poured wine for Dai Quan, apologizing, "It's because I didn't notice for a while, and someone took advantage of it."

Dai Quan sneered and said, "I'll give you three days to find out and deal with that man."

Chang Sheng held his breath, agreed no, and if he didn't agree, he didn't agree, so he also remained silent.

Dai Quan looked at Chang Sheng's expression carefully, and said in a cold voice: "At this moment, are you still going to fight against me? Are you two good? ?”

After thinking about it for a while, Chang Sheng realized the disadvantages of a three-legged confrontation, and hurriedly said: "Understood, within three days, I will deal with this matter."

Dai Quan calmed down, stopped drinking, rolled his eyes, looked at the Nuan Pavilion, and then got up to leave.

Dai Quan left, and Chang Sheng was impatient to pay attention to his wives and concubines. After sending them out, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking that Dai Quan could clearly know his whereabouts, and broke into a cold sweat; recalling Dai Quan's domineering expression , he trembled all over; thinking of someone daring to go over him, he sneered again and again.After thinking about it, he immediately changed into the clothes of the court chief and entered the palace in a sedan chair.

After entering the palace, Chang Sheng was suspicious, and instead of using his own people, he dispatched the little eunuch who was not often used to find out who transferred Jia Rong from the palace. I just feel that if Dai Quan knew that it was his adopted son Chang Xing who had betrayed him, he might laugh at him for his incompetence in teaching his son.

Unavoidably disturbing Chang Xing, Chang Sheng sent someone to check Chang Xing's latest contacts.

Within a day, someone came back and said: "Eunuch, Chang Xingxin often goes to Zhongshun Palace recently, because he often said that he was going to work for Eunuch, so he usually didn't pay attention."

Chang Sheng's eyelids twitched wildly, and he asked incredulously, "You really only went to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion?"

"In addition to Zhongshun Palace, I also went to Concubine Wu's house."

Chang Sheng pondered and said, "Has he ever praised any girl in front of the Queen Mother?"

"Elder-in-law is really clever. In the past two months, Chang Sheng has often praised Concubine Hui's niece from her natal family. It's strange, we all thought he was going to praise Concubine Wu's niece from her natal family, but who knew it was Concubine Zhuang Hui's niece."

"What's so strange about this? Concubine Zhou has a talented person. If Concubine Wu also finds a talented person, she will be inferior. If you lose in the palace, hold back; wait to win back outside the palace." "Chang Sheng was furious in his heart, and thought that Prince Zhongshun, Concubine Wu Gui, and Concubine Ji Hui wanted to plot against the fifth prince's marriage, so they just came to discuss with him, but they did it secretly without him, which is tolerable or unbearable.

"You are not allowed to leak any details about the investigation. After this matter is over, you will be our godson in the spring of next year."

"Thank you godfather for your kindness."

Chang Sheng waved his hand to tell the little eunuch to step back, and with a suffocated breath in his heart, he went to the palace where the Empress Dowager lives, wandered around outside the palace for a cup of tea, and then went to the Empress Dowager's side ruthlessly.Following the carved beams and painted buildings into the Empress Dowager's Palace, knowing that the Empress Dowager was taking a nap, she went to the ear room where Fang Wenhui lived.

When he got outside the door, Chang Sheng stopped and looked in through the screen window. Before he saw anything, he saw Fang Wenhui coming out.

"Eunuch Chang is here, it's really disappointing." Fang Wenhui said with a smile, wondering what the majestic manager came to find her in person.

Chang Sheng looked inside the door and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, Miss Xue, Miss Jia are inside?"

Fang Wenhui said with a smile: "Prince Concubine Bei Jing entered the palace, and the Empress invited them to accompany her to talk."

Chang Sheng smiled, and when he saw a court lady passing by, he raised his voice and said: "Although the Empress Dowager insists on being frugal, she should not be frugal in food, and I should persuade the Empress Dowager again."

Fang Wenhui agreed: "Yes." But he wondered what Chang Sheng came to find her for no reason.

After the maid left, Chang Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Do you know that Concubine Ji Hui's natal family has taken a fancy to the Fifth Prince?"

"Is there such a thing?" Fang Wenhui said hesitantly.

Chang Sheng said secretly again: "Let me advise you, you don't know what will happen in the future, once the queen mother leaves, you will have to count on the fifth prince for the rest of your life. You can't be aloof about the fifth prince's marriage." hang up."

Fang Wenhui smiled and said, "The Ji family is not bad, either."

"Where is it good? Our family has already inquired about the girl they want to tell the fifth prince. She is a domineering and rough girl. The most unsightly thing is that she is very jealous. This character has not been written yet. Then The girl intentionally trampled Miss Tanchun from the Jia family, and first asked Prince Zhongshun and Concubine Wu to intercede, and asked my godson to take Jia Rong, my elder brother from the Xianning Palace, to the fifth prince's residence."

"There is such a thing? A nephew called Tanchun—although she is separated from the clan, he is a servant in front of her. How can Tanchun hold his head up in the future?" Fang Wenhui still didn't understand what Chang Sheng meant, but his mouth was full Follow his words.

"That's right." Chang Sheng's voice became lower and lower, "Not only did she take care of the fifth prince's affairs before she was engaged, but the empress thought about it carefully. Concubine Hui also has a sixth prince under her knees. The fifth prince is now deeply favored by the emperor. How dare I imagine the future; if I become the brother-in-law of the sixth prince's natal family, in the future, I will only be able to carry the sedan chair for the sixth prince."

The corners of Fang Wenhui's eyes kept twitching, she raised her hand to hold the corners of her eyes, surprised how could Fei Sheng come to say these words to him, and said with a smile: "Why don't you dare to say it in the future, but maybe the sixth prince will carry the sedan chair for the fifth prince?"

Chang Sheng curled his lips and sneered: "It has always been only the weak of the natal family who stand up for the powerful of the natal family. I have never seen the opposite. Concubine Hui deliberately asked the fifth prince to help the sixth prince because she saw the fifth prince being favored. When the sixth prince comes up, does she still have the fifth prince in her eyes?"

"...Why did my father-in-law come to tell me these things out of the blue?" Fang Wenhui laughed again.

Chang Sheng sneered and said, "If it wasn't for their screw-up guy doing this sneaky thing behind my back, I wouldn't be impatient to intervene. Speaking of which, what should the empress do, let's think about it myself."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Fang Wenhui watched Chang Sheng go away, and saw a maid passing by, so she said to the maid in the room: "Turn around and tell Miss Lin and Miss Xue to persuade the Queen Mother so that no one is called again. Let's make irresponsible remarks." After saying that, he also went back to the room.

In the past few years, Fang Wenhui has been eating fast and praying with the Queen Mother, so the house is very deserted, not like the house of a woman her age.

After sitting for a long time, Fang Wenhui thought that Chang Sheng must be planning something when he came to tell her these things. Although she is not good at making decisions for the fifth prince, she should tell him to ask the fifth prince to accept her affection.So he ordered: "After the fifth prince finishes class, ask him to greet the queen mother and come over here, and tell me that I have a cough and are sick, and the symptoms are similar to those of the former concubine Qi."

In the past few years, Fang Wenhui wanted to discuss matters with the fifth prince, so he used the excuse of Qi Guifei's illness. If the fifth prince was like this, he also used the excuse of missing his mother to come to Fang Wenhui to talk through the screen.

Because of such things, there were only three or two incidents in a year, and the fifth prince was very close to Fang Wenhui when he was young, so no one dared to gossip.

In the evening, the Fifth Prince really came.

Fang Wenhui intentionally reduced her clothes in the past half a day in order to complete the show, and at this moment she really started coughing.

The fifth prince anxiously said outside the screen: "It's still a lie, is it true that Concubine Fang is really sick?"

"My illness doesn't matter. I came today because I have something important to tell you." Fang Wenhui coughed twice and said, "Today, Chang Sheng said that Concubine Ji Hui's niece from her natal family is going to marry you. What do you want?" How about next?"

The Fifth Prince hesitated, and asked hesitantly, "What do you think, Concubine Fang?"

Fang Wenhui heard what Chang Sheng said, and told the fifth prince one by one, "You must listen to Chang Sheng's words, but you must not believe them all. Whatever you want, I will only listen to you."

The fifth prince lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. First, he thought that it would be difficult for Fang Wenhui to think about him like this, and then he thought that there was no pie in the sky. He didn't want to be tied to the sixth prince and form a party before he showed his talents. Unless he was stupid to do it, he hesitated and said: "After the concubine mother left, the Qi family was cautious everywhere, lest they offend others. Even if I don't agree to this marriage, I'm afraid I can't refuse it. I can only watch the plan. The family succeeded step by step."

"Hey, as long as you don't agree, I will find a way to reject this marriage for you."

The Fifth Prince suddenly looked up at the figure behind the screen, and said with emotion: "Is Fang Concubine really willing to do this for me?"

"Ahem, I have received the favor of Concubine Qi, and I will never be able to repay you in my life. Besides, Concubine Qi entrusted you to me on her deathbed. Although I am soft-spoken, I will try my best to help you. Go, just pretend that you don't know that this matter is still the same. Read well."

"Yes." The fifth prince agreed, turned around to leave, turned around and bowed respectfully, and then left.

Fang Wenhui sat behind the screen, slightly clenched a fist with one hand, pondered for a while, and sent someone to invite the imperial physician.

After seeing the imperial physician, Lin, Xue, and Jia came back from the queen's place and visited her once; then Fu Qiufang hurried over in a newly tailored palace attire.

"I heard that the empress invited the imperial physician, so Qiufang hurriedly brought the new western medicine." Holding a bottle of medicine in her hand, Fu Qiufang handed the medicine to the maidservant, and sat by the bed to watch Fang Wenhui's face carefully.

Fang Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled, took Fang Wenhui's hand and asked, "Is Concubine Zhou okay?"

"The imperial concubine is very good, and she asked me to greet the empress."

Fang Wenhui said with a smile: "The imperial concubine is good, that's good." Gently twisted Fu Qiufang's hand.

Fu Qiufang understood, so she asked the maid who followed her to wait outside the room.

"Ma'am, do you have something to say?" Fu Qiufang owed her success to Fang Wenhui's planning. Seeing that she had something to say, she listened attentively.

Fang Wenhui said, "You're going back. Concubine Zhou Gui must ask me what I told you, so you can tell her that Chang Sheng said that Concubine Wu and Concubine Ji Hui secretly colluded to win over Chang Sheng's godson Chang Xing. Concubine Ji Hui's niece should be given to the fifth prince to be his concubine."

When Fu Qiufang heard the words Wu Guifei, she knew what Fang Wenhui meant, and hurriedly agreed. Seeing that it was getting late, and hearing people say that she had gone to Zhou Guifei's palace, she hurriedly said goodbye and hurried back to Zhou Guifei's palace. , dressed up a bit, and heard that Concubine Zhou ordered her to play chess with him today, so she passed.

After playing chess for about half an hour, he got up and drove back to Daming Palace.

She also felt that Fang Wenhui's fate was good, she served the queen mother well, and she didn't even see her face today. The last few times, I became a concubine from a beauty.

Fu Qiufang put down the chess pieces, walked to Concubine Zhou, covered her mouth and said exactly what Fang Wenhui said.

"Sure enough, the whole family is abusive! You just killed my brother, and then you come up with such an unsightly trick!" Concubine Zhou smashed her fists on the chessboard, but she thought that Concubine Wu would also like to imitate her. The handsome woman is all over the present, and it turns out that she secretly colluded with the concubine Hui who gave birth to a child, and planned to go to the prince.

"I'll see how they can do this!"
