For the concubines in the Qilin Kingdom's harem this time, it's not that Qi Bao'er looked down upon them. Firstly, they have a thoughtful and considerate present, and secondly, Qi Bao'er has spies in the palace, so he knows that they are not capable of colluding with the court to plan anything.
In fact, a group of women are simply competing for the favor of one man.
Just to compete for favor, the thing that would be beneficial to Concubine Xian and An Guiren would naturally be to make Minmei, who had been favored recently, fall out of favor, or even be more ruthless, and use the time outside the palace to get rid of Minmei.
If you just want Minmei to fall out of favor, that's fine, that's just fighting in front of the emperor; but if it's the latter...
An Guiren doesn't matter, her family background is average, but she is a virtuous concubine. What a coincidence, Duke Dingguo is related to her by marriage.
Combined with what Liu Yuan shared, it is difficult not to think about whether Duke Dingguo's suggestion that the emperor come to the royal hunting ground in Mount Wutai was really just his own loyalty, or was it to cooperate with someone?
Qi Baoer frowned, and after a moment he ordered: "When you arrive, check the people everywhere to make sure that no outsiders can enter during the hunting period."
"yes."
"As for the rest, we'll just have to decide what to do when the time comes."
-
There is a palace built on the royal hunting ground on Mount Wutai, so the royal driver will naturally settle down first after arriving.
All officials and relatives from aristocratic families moved in according to the rules. Only the residence of the concubines in the harem was designated by the emperor.
Because of Liu Yuan's words, Qi Baoer paid special attention to the living arrangements of the five concubines during the settlement.
As expected, the Minmei was favored and was arranged to live in the Yuehua Palace next to the Qianyang Palace where the emperor lived; and the highest-ranking concubine among the five concubines was Lan Rong, who lived further away from the Yuehua Palace.
temple.
Not to mention, if we just talk about fighting for favor, the arrangement of this residence is enough for the wise concubine to get rid of the beauty.
etc.
Is the emperor really doting on sensitive beauties?
If he was a true favorite, how could he put him in such a position to face all the concubines and concubines in the harem?
Or...is the emperor really too old to care about this?
After Qi Bao'er moved backwards, Twelve approached like the wind.
"Let people keep an eye on Concubine Xian and Guiren An."
Twelve also heard Liu Yuan's words, and when he heard his master's instructions, he couldn't guess his master's true intention for a while.
"Master, do you want to protect Minmei?"
When did his master start thinking so much about the emperor?
Qi Baoer looked at him speechlessly, "Your master, am I sick?"
What kind of beauty is she trying to protect when she's full?
Is it appropriate for her to intervene in the fights between the concubines and concubines in the harem?
Besides, is she the one who is nosy?
"Don't worry about anything else, as long as they don't affect us."
clear.

As soon as Qi Baoer came out of the prince's palace, he saw Little Coconut waiting outside with a slightly anxious expression.
"What happened?"
"Sir, Prince Li and Princess Binghua are asking for a meeting. It seems something happened to Princess Binghua. They knew you were here with His Highness the Crown Prince, but they are still waiting in the courtyard."
Prince Li and Princess Binghua were not the rude people. If it wasn't really an emergency, they wouldn't have lingered on Qi Bao'er even though they knew something was wrong.
The eldest princess and the eldest son-in-law went on a sightseeing tour a few years ago. Apart from occasionally writing letters to the emperor to confirm that they had a good time, the couple had never seen each other in Beijing again.
….Prince Lijun entered the officialdom nine years ago after returning to Beijing from disaster relief in the south. After eight years of experience as a prefect, he became a prefect last year.
After Princess Binghua became the queen, she married the eldest son of Yangzhaohou Mansion and gave birth to a daughter the following year.
Um?
Yangzhao Houfu?
How does she feel that she has never heard of it?
Adjusted the memory.
Good guy, that's not the natal family of Zheng Xiangshu's sister-in-law.
Well, it seems that I have a new feud with her recently.
"Zhuowen's place, did the Ye family make trouble a while ago?"
"Replying to my lord, it is true that Mr. Zhuowen and his colleagues not only made better paper than the Zheng family's, but the price was also cheaper than that of the Zheng family's. Mr. Zhuowen also invented movable type printing and rented a shop in Beijing to open a bookstore.
Si, not only have many original copies printed and placed in it, but there are also many calligraphy books written by scholars."
Mentioning these, Little Coconut's face was filled with pride unconsciously, "In addition to selling the books in the bookstore, you can also borrow them. They are very popular among literati."
It is precisely because of this that the business of the bookstore opened by the Ye family was squeezed.
Zhuo Wen and the others did not go out in the name of Qi Bao'er. After checking, the Ye family found that the shopkeeper was just an unknown person, so they sent someone to follow him.
The first is to be on guard against someone behind the shopkeeper, and look for opportunities to find the person behind the shopkeeper before making other plans.
Second, if you are sure that there is no one behind the shopkeeper, find a place where there is no one and kill the shopkeeper.
After following him like this, he ‘followed’ him into Zhuangzi.
Coincidentally, the person who followed the shopkeeper that day was a minor character and did not know who the owner of the village was; the Zheng family had a prime minister, and the Ye family was a marquis. The servants who were already arrogant and accustomed did not think too much and wanted to burn down the village.
A few workshops, I thought I could go back and receive great merit.
How could Zhuo Wen and the others allow these servants to mess around?
He beat the man up and threw him out of the village.
They didn't care what Zhuo Wen did to Zhuo Wen after those people returned. After that, the Ye family naturally didn't dare to trouble Zhuo Wen and the others again, and the bookstore in Beijing was still open well.
Qi Baoer paused as he stepped into the courtyard, looking at the woman sitting at the stone table inside, he was a little afraid to recognize her.
Is this woman, who seems to have been bent down by life and whose face is full of sorrow, still the charming and lovely Princess Binghua in her memory?
Prince Li and Princess Binghua, who were sitting in silence facing each other, turned their heads when they heard the footsteps. Seeing that it was Qi Bao'er returning, both of them had a hint of joy on their faces.
However, I haven't seen him for many years, so I still feel a bit unfamiliar.
In addition, the aura that Qi Baoer exudes unconsciously now is very different from when he was a child in the past. In addition to the coercion of a spiritual cultivator with a fairy aura that people dare not blaspheme, there is also the aura of a high-ranking official.
momentum.
Prince Li and Princess Binghua both got up to greet the guests in a somewhat reserved manner.
"I've met Lord Qi."
"I've met Lord Qi."
As Qi Bao'er stepped in, he waved his hand and joked with a smile: "You are not a grown-up. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, you won't ignore me like this when we meet, right?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the little girl next to Princess Binghua, "This is Youle, right?"
The sign girl was so skinny and timid that she was hugging Princess Binghua's legs and hiding behind her. She didn't have the magnanimity of the eldest princess's granddaughter and daughter of the princess at all.
Qi Baoer's eyes were slightly cold.
How much grievance does this require?
No official lady with any status would be raised like this.
At the mention of her daughter, Princess Binghua's eyes immediately turned red and she hurriedly turned to cover up.
Prince Li also looked angry with sadness and distress, and sighed longly: "Sir, Binghua and I are here to beg you for our happiness."
