After generally understanding the situation in the palace, Lin Yue got up and went back to the dormitory, and said lightly: "I'll take a nap first, and before I wake up, no one else is allowed to come in except Fengqi and Chu'er." ”"Yes, girl."
Fengqi has not yet gone down to the court, so take advantage of this time to make up for sleep, and you can go out of the palace with Fengqi in the afternoon.In the past few days, too many prominent people have come to the imperial capital, and Feng Qi knows what purpose these people are coming.However, it is better to see it for yourself than to hear from someone else.At this time, in another palace, the beautiful woman locked a pair of cigarette eyebrows tightly, and looked at her daughter sitting opposite her, with a dark expression on her face, "You mean to say that you didn't find anything useful?"
”This woman is Concubine Shu, a concubine who is second only to the Queen Mother in the harem and still holds some power in her hands.Although her daughter has been out of the cabinet for a few years, and she herself is over forty years old, there are almost no traces of time on her well-maintained face, and sitting with Princess Hanyue, they look more like a pair of sisters.The skin is fair and delicate, the eyes are big and bright, full of aura, and I always like to wear a white palace dress, which invisibly adds a bit of purity and dust-free temperament.From the outside, this is like a simple, kind and scheming girl.Anyone who stays with her will unconsciously let go of their guards and open their hearts to speak freely."
Yes, mother, but I'm not sure if this woman is wise or foolish, or if she's acting with me.If it is acting, then it can only be said that her acting skills are so perfect that people can't find the slightest flaw. ”Princess Hanyue nodded, her expression was a little strange, and after she finished her judgment, her tone paused slightly, and then pointed to her head hesitantly, "It could also be......
Here, there is something different about her, and our conversation may not be on the same line at all. ”For such a strange statement, Concubine Shu obviously needed to think about it in her heart, and after a while, she said, "You mean to say that you haven't seen through this girl yet?"
”"Yes."
Princess Hanyue nodded.Concubine Shu was silent for a moment, a slight smile slowly appeared on her face, and she said slowly: "It seems that ......
I need to meet this special girl in person. ”Han Yue didn't speak, obviously thinking that Concubine Shu should meet her."
It just so happens that it's the rose season, I'll go to the imperial dining room to make some rose cakes to entertain our special guest, Jin'er, you can run one more trip after noon, and invite her to come to my Fuyang Palace from time to time to gather and taste the pastries and flower tea I made myself."
Han Yue nodded, "Okay, mother." ”After a pause, he raised his lips and chuckled, and with a little coquettishness, "Linyue is really a good mouthful, as my mother's biological daughter, I rarely can eat the pastries made by my mother." ”Concubine Shu glanced at her when she heard this, "Don't have a conscience, when did the concubine miss your food and drink?"
Little white-eyed wolf. ”The two of them said one and answered, one scolded and one coquettish, and they both felt that this was a very easy thing.After chatting for a while, Princess Hanyue turned the topic to the Queen Mother, her expression was a little puzzled and a little dignified, "Mother, I don't understand, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Queen Mother and King Yu have lost power, and the Ouyang family behind the Queen Mother has also been suppressed by the emperor, it should be impossible to have a chance to turn over, why is the mother still so desperate to help them?"
”Concubine Shu only has a daughter under the knee of Princess Hanyue, and there is no son to compete for the throne, it stands to reason that in fact, there is no need to wade into the muddy waters of the Queen Mother and King Yu, anyway, as long as he keeps to himself, the emperor will not attack a female streamer.The emperor knew that the Dou family was instigated by King Yu but did not punish him, it can be seen that the emperor wants to give them a chance, as long as they keep a low profile in the future, there should be no more trouble.But once they continue to be with the Queen Mother, it is difficult to say whether the emperor will give them a second chance."
The concubine also knows that this is a bit risky, but you have to try everything."
Concubine Shu leaned back on the chair, sighed softly, and her delicate face was stained with a little self-deprecation, "Our mother and son have no backers in this cannibalistic deep palace, and any throne or military power has nothing to do with us, but we also have to survive, since we want to survive, we must be clear about our goals, we can't be confused, and the Queen Mother will not let us be confused." ”When their mother and daughter were talking, all the people in Fuyang Palace had already retreated, Han Yue got up and stepped forward, squatted in front of Concubine Shu, and thoughtfully began to rub her legs and ankles."
We have already chosen to stand on the side of the Queen Mother before, even if we want to withdraw now, it is unlikely, and what kind of temperament the emperor is, you don't know, he can't let go of anyone in his eyes at all, his temperament is perverse and withdrawn, and he is completely unpretentious to us concubines, do you expect him to treat us well?"
Han Yue was silent.The emperor has a cold and detached attitude towards his father, how can he treat his mother concubine, who has no blood relationship with him?
However, even if you don't treat it well, you should ......
It will not be wiped out."
Even if we don't stand with the Queen Mother, the emperor won't believe it."
Concubine Shu was pinched very comfortably, her eyes involuntarily half-squinted, and her voice became a little lazy unconsciously, "Moreover, there is another reason why I chose to cooperate with the Queen Mother." ”Princess Hanyue frowned slightly when she heard this, thinking of a certain possibility, she suddenly felt a little clear in her heart, "The mother concubine is for the third uncle?"
”Concubine Shu's maiden name is Jin and she is a merchant.In Fengcang, the status of the merchants is not low, but compared to the official eunuch's house, it cannot be compared at all.The Jin family's business in Fengcang is not small, and it is known as the three major gates of Fengcang together with the warriors who mainly feed horses in the north, and the Ming family who do jewelry and iron ore in Dongjun.Now in charge of the Jin family is the third elder of the Jin family, and the third brother of Concubine Shu, Jin Han.Concubine Shu nodded, "Yes, there is the Zhanjia Horse Farm in the north, and the Ming Family Iron Mine in the east, only the Jin family's business is completely unrelated to the war."
When the world is peaceful, the Jin family's business is naturally easy to do, but no one can say when the war will come, the Zhan family and the Ming family originally had close cooperation, once the war is triggered, the two of them will immediately become Feng Cang's humerus subjects, not to mention that they can make a lot of money, and their influence on the court is also self-evident. ”Han Yue listened quietly, she didn't know anything about business, so naturally she couldn't say anything.
