Xiuzhu was speechless by her question. After a while, she said: "As long as Li Jifeng is caught, he will be forced to tell the truth under severe punishment."
"If he doesn't say it, how do you want me to explain it in front of the emperor? Also, if the concubine bites you back, will you, Xiuzhu, bear the consequences?"
Xiuzhu broke into a cold sweat when she asked her question, lowered her head and said, "I'm not thoughtful, please forgive me, Master."
Xin Bin stared at her and said coldly: "Think carefully before doing anything, especially when dealing with your concubine. She is not a light-saving lamp."
After Xiuzhu agreed, Xiao Huazi said: "Master, if we can really find evidence of the affair between your concubine and Li Jifeng, you can use this to gain access to the queen's eyes, and you will be ranked as the fourth concubine just around the corner!"
Xin Bin fluffed her sleeves and stood up, looking in the direction of Yongshou Palace and said: "But before that, I must first get the youthful and immortal Taoism from the Wei family!" When she said the last sentence, her eyes flashed with greed.
The light, the youthfulness... were so exciting that she had to get it no matter what method she used.
"As for Li Jifeng... do you want me to inform your Excellency and ask him to keep an eye on it?" Xin Bin's father was originally the crown prince's eunuch, the minister in charge of the bodyguard, and the governor of the river. Although he had passed away many years ago, many members of his family were still in the court.
As an official in the middle, brother Xin Bin is in the second rank and has considerable influence in the capital. It is easy to keep an eye on a mere guard.
Concubine Xin thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's see how many shady things he and your concubine have to do, and follow the way to Yonghe Palace to keep an eye on some."
"Yonghe Palace?" Xiao Huazi said in surprise: "Forgive me for being stupid, why are you staring at Yonghe Palace?"
Xin Bin raised her lips slightly and said: "I just thought of something very interesting. If everything goes as I thought, not only can I join the Queen this time, but I can also kill two birds with one stone."
The snow has been falling for two whole days and has not stopped. Often, as soon as the palace officials have swept away the snow, it accumulates again in the blink of an eye. By the second day, nearly three inches of snow has accumulated.
On this day, Mrs. Ning was combing He Ke's hair. She felt hurt for He Ke. Yesterday, He Ke said that it hurt when grandma combed his hair, so she combed He Ke's hair herself.
After Ning tied up a small strand of hair for He Ke, she asked with concern: "Does this hurt?"
He Ke hugged a cloth tiger and grinned: "It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all when I comb it. Mom, can you help me comb it from now on?"
Ningshi said dotingly while combing her hair: "Okay, whatever He Ke says will be done. From now on, E Niang will help you comb your hair every day until you get married."
He Ke turned around and asked curiously: "What is getting married?"
Ning was about to speak when a voice beat her to the punch, "When you get married, you leave Huang Ama and E Niang, and live somewhere else from now on!"
"Eniang!" He Ke cheered, ran over with his calves and threw himself into Wei Jingxuan's arms. The latter picked her up, gently pinched her small nose and asked: "Have you been good these past few days? Have you been disobedient?
"
He Ke nodded vigorously and said in a sweet voice: "No, Er Chen listens to E Niang very much." As she said that, she said with some confusion: "Both of them are E Niang, how should Er Chen be divided?"
Wei Jingxuan smiled and said: "There is no need to separate them, they are both your mothers, and they both love you equally."
He Ke responded happily, and immediately hugged Wei Jingxuan's neck tightly and said, "Niang, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to leave my two Niangs and Huang Ama, but I don't want to!"
Wei Jingxuan was dumbfounded by what she said, and comforted her: "Okay, okay, I won't marry, and He Ke won't marry, that'll be alright."
After He Ke sat down again, Ning arranged the hair on the other side of her hair and tied a small goose-yellow flower on both sides, which conveyed a bright and lively meaning.
After ordering the palace servants to lead He Ke down, Mrs. Ning smiled and said, "The heavy snow has not stopped yet. Why did my sister come here? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Wei Jingxuan put on a faint smile and said: "I have nothing to do in the palace, why not come to my sister's place for a walk, see He Ke, and discuss the annual gifts to the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen in a few days.
." Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and in a few days, the New Year will come. According to the rules, the concubines will present new year gifts to Ling Ruo, Hongli, and Xianyue.
"Speaking of annual gifts, I also want to discuss with you. You said that they are given every year. Over the years, I have given them all with better meanings. I really can't think of anything new, but if I give them the same ones as before,
, and it doesn’t feel right, it’s really a headache.”
Wei Jingxuan lowered her head and fiddled with the beads on her sleeves, and said softly: "Actually, sister, it's okay. If I gave it a little wrong, I'm afraid I would be ridiculed again!"
Ning was a little surprised and said: "What's wrong? Your Majesty still doesn't care about you?"
Wei Jingxuan sighed and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter what the emperor does to me. I just feel sorry for He Jing. I haven't seen the emperor for many days. And the little princess, who has been born for so long, doesn't even have a decent name."
No, back
I don’t know how many people in the field are laughing at her.” At this point, her eyes were slightly red, and she choked: “It’s all because of me, a useless mother-in-law, who made them suffer. Fortunately, He Ke now has a sister who loves him, otherwise
, I’m afraid I’ll be wronged too.”
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Ning felt great pity and said: "Oh, it's true, Your Majesty. You obviously want to be harmonious and good, but he listens to the slander and misunderstands you. Otherwise... I will go and talk to the Emperor."
explain?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said sadly: "It's useless, the emperor will not listen to my sister's explanation at all. Instead, he will think that I am causing trouble and making the harem uneasy."
Ning said anxiously: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Why don't you tell me what to do?"
"I don't know either." As she spoke, she wiped away her tears and said, "With the Queen and Concubine Ying holding them down, I'm afraid it's useless for us to think about anything. I just hope that the Emperor can take care of the relationship between father and daughter. Come more often."
Look at He Jing and the two of you, and give the little princess a name earlier so that you don’t have to wrong the two children again."
Ning sighed and said: "I have such a pity for the parents in the world. It's really hard for you. You don't have to worry about He Ke. I will definitely treat her as my own and will not treat her poorly!"
"If I didn't trust my sister, I wouldn't have given He Ke to her to raise. With us caring for He Ke in the future, she will definitely be the happiest princess in the palace." After saying that, she smiled and said, "Sister, you better hurry up.
Help me think about the annual gifts. If I can please the emperor and the others, I can slightly change the current predicament."
"That's right. Don't be impatient. Let me think about it." After saying this, Ning thought for a while and said, "How about sending Ruyi as a gift? Ruyi, everything goes as you wish. This is the best intention.
