Why are you so anxious?

After a short while, Princess Pingyang walked lightly with lotus steps, entered gracefully, and greeted Concubine Chen with a smile.Concubine Chen offered to sit down with a smile, and said: "In the past, there were not many people coming to my Changji Palace. I never thought that it would be so lively today, with an endless stream of guests coming and going."

Princess Pingyang apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is deeply favored by Your Majesty, so how could it be easy to be quiet. It's just that Your Majesty doesn't like to make noise in the past, so I dare not come here to bother you."

Concubine Chen smiled indifferently, and did not take Princess Pingyang's compliment seriously.But he responded to Pingyang with a few words neither salty nor light, neither too warm nor too rude.

Princess Pingyang has an exquisite mind, so she naturally understands that Concubine Chen has a grudge against the events of that day.Then he rolled his eyes and sighed softly: "People can't help themselves in the palace. Presumably the empress also understands the truth."

"Oh?" Concubine Chen glanced at Pingyang with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "This palace believes that no matter what the situation is, people must stick to their hearts. Don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small." No. Even if we women can’t live up to the words of a sage, we don’t need to step on other people’s heads to rise to the top. Does the princess think so?”

Princess Pingyang pondered for a moment, then pointedly said: "My daughter is young and ignorant, if I offend my mother by doing something wrong, I hope my mother will see that I am a junior, so don't blame me."

Concubine Chen smiled, and said softly: "Princess, why do you explain this, I can't understand it."

Concubine Chen stared at Princess Pingyang with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and Kuang has always been smart, how can she offend others? I am afraid that the princess is overwhelmed. I don't think the princess has offended anyone at all. It’s me. It’s just that they have different positions and have their own considerations.”

The implication is that different ways do not conspire with each other.There is no need for Princess Pingyang to come here to play tricks.

Seeing this, Princess Pingyang didn't say any more, she just stood up and confessed to Zhuang Lin and the two of them, and then asked to resign with a smile.

Looking at the back of Princess Pingyang who was leaving slowly, Mrs. Zhao asked a little confused: "Princess Pingyang left after saying a few inexplicable words with a white brow and a red face. What is her plan?"

Concubine Chen casually picked her fingernails, and said casually: "If you don't understand it, don't think about it. It's just soldiers coming to cover the water and soil. Guess what she's doing so much?"

After saying that, without waiting for Mrs. Zhao to ask more questions, she smiled and said, "Fei Yan is almost nineteen this year, can you talk about her in-law's family?"

Hearing this, Lin Feiyan couldn't help but blushed again.Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter lovingly, and said with a smile: "There are not ten pavilions, but eight or nine pavilions that the rich and powerful in Beijing have. There are a few that catch the eye, but when you think about it carefully, you don't like it in one way or another. Office. I think that we have never had to worry about marrying a daughter to control our Zhen Guo General’s Mansion, why not choose carefully. After all, it is a lifelong event for the daughter’s family.”

What was not said was that Concubine Chen wanted to get married that day, and General Zhen Guo's Mansion was also very willing, so intentionally or unintentionally, he pushed a lot of well-matched young talents.Most of the legitimate sons of these individual families are talented in literature, brave in martial arts, and have a strong family background. Even if they don't marry the General Zhen Guo's mansion, the dignitaries of the next family with daughters will still flock to them.After such a delay for two or three years, most of the young men who were considered a good match at the beginning were married and had children. Among the remaining ones, the Zhao family really couldn't choose one who was very proud.

But Zhao's not saying it doesn't mean that Concubine Chen doesn't know.Concubine Chen doesn't regret that she delayed her niece's lifelong event in a moment of anger.Concubine Chen wanted to make up for the fact that Zhao's mother and daughter were invited into the palace today.

Seeing her niece, whose face became more and more beautiful, and whose whole body was like a blooming flower, Concubine Chen smiled in relief, and asked Zhao Shi tentatively: "Sister-in-law, what do you think of the Third Prince?"

Zhao's heart skipped a beat.The third prince, Zhuang Jue, was born of Concubine Xian's Sun family, and his maternal ancestor was Sun Henian, a well-known scholar in Da Chu.Although his family had never served as an official in the court, no one in the Shilin knew that Sun Henian's reputation was really noble and elegant.

The most rare thing is that the third prince, Zhuang Jue, has the demeanor of his ancestors. He is the most understanding, honest, elegant, and disinterested in power.For so many years, he has devoted himself to landscapes and studied calligraphy and painting. He is also a well-known talent of Da Chu.In Zhao's view, if all external factors are discarded, it is actually more suitable for her daughter to marry such a person than Zhuang Lin.

Because of Zhuang Lin's limited status, he was bound to fall into a struggle for the heir.However, the third prince, Zhuang Jue, was able to remain neutral because of the support of his mother's family.In a safe and sound way, no matter what the future situation is, as long as Lin Feiyan can marry the third prince, she will not be able to escape the honor and wealth for a lifetime.Even if Zhuang Lin's success is on the verge of failure in the future, and the mansion of General Zhen Guo collapses, with Zhuang Jue's pure and kind nature, he will never force his wife to die.Therefore, if Lin Feiyan can really marry the third prince, it can be regarded as a guarantee of peace for the rest of her life.

Zhao was very satisfied, but also a little worried.But I don't know if Concubine Xian and the Sun family's temper that doesn't touch the harem can agree to this marriage?Besides——

"Our Feiyan is almost nineteen this year, and she is two or three years older than the third prince!"

Concubine Chen smiled and comforted when she heard the words: "But sister-in-law, don't worry about this, I'm here."

On the other side, Lin Feiyan was still so ashamed that she almost buried her head in her chest.And Zhuang Lin also felt that Concubine Chen's plan was very clever.Although the two of them never thought of forming cliques among the princes in the harem, they also didn't want Zhuang Zhou to win too many brothers to fight against them.For the current plan, it would be best if these princes who are about to grow up can manage their own affairs.

There is just one thing, if the marriage between the General Zhen Guo's Mansion and the third prince is really concluded, they still have to consider Emperor Yongqian's feelings and mood.

Concubine Chen said again, "Don't worry, I'm here. Your Majesty won't be suspicious of us, that's all."

When everyone heard the words, Fang stopped talking.Gossiping again, before the palace gate was locked, I got up and asked to resign, and I didn't need to go into details when I went to my own home.

That night, Emperor Yongqian favored Zhaoyuan and Tana who had recently entered the palace.For several days after that, Emperor Yongqian stayed in the Xuanting Hall at night.Suddenly, Tana was young and beautiful, with a bright personality, clear singing voice, enchanting dancing skills, and possessed scheming skills, but Emperor Yonggan, who had been serving in a few days, was very satisfied.Disregarding palace rules and etiquette, she was specially granted the title Shu.For a while, he was in the limelight in the harem, and his honor and favor attracted people's attention.

As a result, not only the young concubines in the palace are resentful and jealous, but even the empress and concubine Chen and other senior and honorable ones are quite upset.

Concubine Chen took advantage of the opportunity to take the loneliness in the palace as an excuse, and frequently walked around with several concubines and masters in the harem. Among them, Concubine Xian was the most gentle and quiet, and Concubine Chen got along best with her. In the past, they would meet every now and then to drink tea and enjoy flowers.Now Concubine Chen has plans in mind, so she goes even more diligently.

Concubine Chen inquired about the third prince inside and out, and said how her niece and daughter are so chaste and gentle.Concubine Xian Xiang Rijian had also heard about the appearance and talent of the eldest daughter of the General Zhen Guo's mansion, and she was quite tempted.However, he was concerned about Emperor Yongqian's attitude and the situation in the court, so he dared not let go easily.

Concubine Chen naturally took care of it again.Those who brought soup and water went to the Taiji Palace to ask about the health and wellness, but in fact they tried to test the marriage of the two families.Between the words, there was no need to cry and complain that since Zhuang Lin's wedding, the General Zhen Guo's Mansion had some estrangement from her because of Feiyan, and she also felt that she had missed her niece's lifelong event.It is so rare that he has to think about planning for his natal family and choose a better husband-in-law than Zhuang Lin for his niece and daughter.But in the whole world, except for the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, who can be stronger than Zhuang Lin and so on...

Emperor Yonggan was naturally very wary of Concubine Chen's proposal, but Concubine Chen had been with Emperor Yonggan for more than 20 years, and she really understood Emperor Yonggan's hobby and temperament. It is an excellent thing for the general's mansion to marry the third prince.So he couldn't help thinking about it.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, once the news spreads, and no one mentions it, the queen's lineage is the first to panic.Even Princess Pingyang played tricks on Emperor Yongqian every day, analyzing the pros and cons.Nao Nao suffered a series of storms, and for a while, Tana's limelight was overwhelmed by a lot.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and there was indeed news from the palace that Fei Yan, the eldest daughter of the General Zhen Guo's mansion, was the third concubine, and the Ministry of Rituals would take care of all matters, and she would get married in May of the next year.

For a while, the Zhen Guo General's Mansion became more and more popular.Officials of all sizes prepared generous gifts to congratulate and congratulate, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the Zhen Guo General's Mansion, which was full of people and guests.

Three or five days later, Emperor Yongqian decreed that Zhao Heng, the second son of the Zhao family in Linzi, would be his son-in-law, and he would marry Princess Pingyang in July next year.

The Zhao family in Linzi is one of the seven great families, and Emperor Yongqian's move, apart from intending to win over the family, is nothing more than an ordinary emperor's trade-off.

When Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou heard the will, they just smiled and dropped their hands.However, Concubine Chen was a little bit brooding, thinking that Princess Pingyang really had a good life, she really took advantage of the family of General Zhen Guo's family, and managed to secure a good marriage for herself.

Now let's think about Princess Pingyang's sudden visit to Changji Palace to ask An to make amends, I am afraid that Pingyang was already planning what happened today.She has seen through Emperor Yongqian's cool and arbitrary mind, and concluded that the General Zhen's Mansion will never delay the marriage negotiation with the third prince because of anything, so is she confident?

No matter what, Concubine Zhen really admires Princess Pingyang's ability to leverage her strength.It is estimated that she spent a lot of time talking in front of Emperor Yonggan, so that Emperor Yonggan felt that her marriage could check and balance the power of the General Zhenguo's mansion.

As time goes by, it's already August, and it's the [-]th Mid-Autumn Festival.Feasts and drinks are indispensable in the palace.Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin had been prepared for a long time, and they were half full in the mansion before Shi Shiran entered the palace.In this way, even if there are various unsatisfactory things about the wine at the palace banquet, the two of them will not be too hungry.
