Chapter 355 Reconciliation is not as good as before
After Crown Princess Yi reported these "important matters", she left with the three ladies from the East Palace.
Only then did Concubine Shu Xin Ruozhi have time to report "trivial matters in the harem" to the Empress.
Wen Xiaotu saw Xin Ruozhi's sad face, and vaguely guessed that it might not be a trivial matter, so he asked the other concubines and other princes and princesses to retreat, and took Xin Ruozhi into the study to talk slowly.
Seeing that the queen had shunned the outsiders, Xin Ruozhi dared to speak: "I dare not hide anything from the queen. The things I want to report are related to the crown prince."
Wen Xiaotu nodded: "Just say it."
Xin Ruozhi sighed, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that after you left, the Crown Princess always went to the concubine's palace and always asked her for advice on how to deal with things in the harem..."
Wen Xiaotu frowned, "Can I ask you for advice on palace affairs?"
Xin Ruozhi nodded with a grimace, and then said hurriedly: "Of course, the Crown Princess didn't say that she wanted to help me share my worries. She just said that she was curious and wanted to ask. I... couldn't ignore her."
As a concubine, although she is an elder, in terms of status, she is no more noble than the crown princess.
Wen Xiaotu sighed, "If she was smart and clear, I would have asked her to follow her and learn from her." If the Yi family had the ability to take charge of affairs and assist in the harem, the crown princess would indeed be more legitimate than the concubine.
.
However, the Yi family couldn't even handle the small backyard of the East Palace, so how could Wen Xiaotu trust her to take care of the harem?
Although Concubine Shu is now called Associate Concubine, in many cases she is basically "in charge of palace affairs".
Xin Ruozhi then suggested: "How about you make a decree and ask the Crown Princess to learn from my concubine. If she can learn it successfully, I will be able to retire in peace."
Wen Xiaotu smiled bitterly: "Do you think she can do it?"
Xin Ruozhi was speechless for a moment, can a Crown Princess do that? It’s weird! Even a small Eastern Palace can cause such chaos. This Crown Princess is really not smart!
The Queen, the successor, is extremely tolerant towards the Crown Princess. She does not have to worry about morning and dusk, does not let concubines have sex, and does not interfere in the backyard of the East Palace! She is more tolerant than ordinary mothers-in-law!! This is simply burning incense.
What a wonderful mother-in-law!
However, looking at the tone of the Crown Princess just now, it is clear that she is very wary, suspicious, and wary of the Queen! She even wants to use the Queen to achieve her goals!
Xin Ruozhi sighed: "Fortunately, you did not agree to grant the title of Yanrong Liangdi to the Crown Princess just now. His Highness has already declined this matter. If you suddenly issued a decree to grant the title of Yanrong Liangdi, the Crown Prince would be upset.
."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned: "The prince declined? Why didn't he agree?!" It stands to reason that Xin Liangyuan has a good temperament, looks good, and gave birth to his eldest son, so she is indeed worthy of the position of Liangdi!
Xin Ruozhi said quickly: "It's not that His Highness the Crown Prince has any dissatisfaction with Yan Rong, it's that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to be biased and wants to treat the three good ladies equally." - This is naturally the best.
Wen Xiaotu cursed, this boy's heart has always been biased.
But at least it’s not too scumbag, “Before, in Peiping, in the letter from the prince’s family, he asked the emperor to give the emperor a name for his eldest grandson.”
After hearing this, Xin Ruozhi was a little surprised: "Seriously? Does the emperor agree?"
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "The emperor said that he would give me a name after he returns to Beijing."
Xin Ruozhi was overjoyed, "That's really great!" - Although the prince will definitely succeed to the throne in the future, he is not the emperor after all! If he can be named by the emperor, it will not only be a great blessing, but also show that the emperor has great regard for this eldest grandson.
Somewhat fond of it.
Wen Xiaotu asked again: "By the way, what happened to the two East Palace roommates? When did the prince accept them?" - He didn't even report it, uh... well, it seems that the emperor has said that this kind of thing
Don't bother her with things as big as sesame seeds and mung beans...
Xin Ruozhi hurriedly lowered her voice: "First, the Bai family was sent to the palace by Uncle Wen Yuan's house, that is, from Jiang Liangyuan's house. The Huang family in the back is the maid of the Crown Princess."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. She was not surprised that Jiang would do such a thing! But she didn't expect that the dignified Crown Princess would also come here?
Xin Ruozhi said: "That's why the prince accepted his mistake and reconciled with the princess the next day."
Wen Xiaotu's head was full of black lines, "Why is Yi doing this? If she really wants to reconcile with the prince, she can go there herself...ahem!"
With Yi's appearance, not many men can stand up to her, so why do we need to send out a maid as a dowry?!
Xin Ruozhi smiled: "The Empress is joking. At that time, the Bai family was quite favored. What is the status of the Crown Princess? How can she compete with a concubine for favor? Isn't that a surrender of status?"
Wen Xiaotu had a dark cloud on his face. Because he maintained his identity, he gave his husband a wife?! What is the logic of this?!
Bai family, Huang family, this is a pair of yellow and white things!
"Oh, the backyard of the East Palace will be very lively in the future!" Wen Xiaotu sighed.
Xin Ruozhi said with a smile: "There are only a few people here! His Royal Highness is not very romantic, not to mention that with this status, it is natural to have concubine Ruyun around, it is just a common thing."
Wen Xiaotu sweated, Xin Ruozhi, you are really experienced!
"I don't care what happens to the East Palace in the future." Wen Xiaotu waved his hands and said, Damn, it's just a mess, no one can deal with it!
Xin Ruozhi said sternly: "Your Majesty is the successor. There is really no need to worry about the affairs of the East Palace, and there is no need to ask too much. Whether the future will be good or bad depends on the Crown Princess's own luck."
Wen Xiaotu was silent for a moment, then asked: "The prince and the princess...are they really reconciled as before?" She really didn't understand the ancient way of getting along with husband and wife.
Xin Ruozhi smiled deeply: "Reconciliation is of course reconciliation. Ru...cough! Of course, compared with the past, it is still inferior." - almost shouted the word "as before"! It was so dangerous, almost disrespectful to the queen.
It’s over!
Xin Ruozhi added: "However, His Highness the Crown Prince cares most about his married wife. He spends half of the month sleeping in the Crown Princess's room."
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself that there was indeed no reconciliation as before. In the past, it was the turn of the other concubines on the days when it was inconvenient for the Yi family. Now, the concubines together can already share half of the cake.
In fact, even so, this is already quite flattering.
However, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
No wonder Yi's expression didn't look like a kindhearted one.
"I know what I'm doing." Wen Xiaotu waved his hand, "If there's nothing else, Concubine Shu will go back and rest."
Xin Ruozhi folded her crotch and said, "Yes, I am resigning." - I couldn't help but think that I was suing the Crown Princess... Who told her to be unreasonable, but the Queen was broad-minded and didn't even think about it?
Sorry, but obviously a little disappointed.
Originally, the emperor was dissatisfied with the crown prince, and the queen was quite disappointed. In addition, the relationship with the prince was not as good as before. If this continued, the crown prince's position would be in danger!
Xin Ruozhi exited Fengyi Palace, suddenly thinking of the deposed Queen Hu, she couldn't help but shudder, hoping that she was overthinking.
