Chapter 291: Testing each other and playing tricks
Xue Hengzhao pushed the problem to Liang Jing and returned to Fu Fei.
Concubine Fu asked her: "What did Liang Jing say? Has he taken over this matter?"
"General Manager Liang has nothing else to say," Xue Hengzhao said, "He is a rare smart person for the Queen. This matter was not done by the Queen. She did not want anything to go wrong in the Emperor's ceremony.
So anyone who does this will definitely disgust her. Besides, now we no longer have to hide for Concubine Xian, it’s time to push her out.
If Liang Jing refuses to take care of it, we will make the matter public and make it known to everyone, and they will eventually have to take over."
"Concubine Xian will definitely refuse to admit it," Concubine Fu said, "but let them be suspicious of each other! I can't always be a good person."
When the sun rose very high, Xue Hengzhao and others went to the warehouse to sort out the calligraphy and paintings.
Chi Su was delayed due to other matters and hurried back alone.
I happened to bump into Yu Guming on the way.
Chi Su hurriedly stopped to say hello. Seeing that no one was around, Yu Guming took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to her.
"This is... Granny Luo's prescription. She said... that it's best to treat winter diseases in the summer."
Although Yu Guming didn't say who it was for, Chi Su also understood that he specially gave it to Xue Heng.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of you soon." Chi Su agreed while tucking the cloth bag into her sleeves.
Thinking that Yu Guming must be thinking about Xue Hengzhao, but he didn't dare to see her because he had nothing important to do, so he said: "Hengzhao is doing well these days, and his appetite is even better than when spring first came."
"That...that's good." Yu Guming's face turned red, but his eyes became brighter.
Apparently, he was very happy to hear the news that Xue Heng Zhaoan was well.
"Does the prince have anything else to explain?" Chi Su asked.
"No." Yu Guming said briefly.
"Then the slave has resigned. The warehouse is busy, I have to help." Chi Su smiled at Yu Guming before continuing to walk north.
When I got to the back, I saw that everyone was busy, and Chi Su also hurriedly stepped forward.
I worked until noon, and only half of the work was done.
Everyone was tired, so the chief guard said: "Leave a few people to guard here, and the rest should go back to eat, and come back after taking a rest."
Xue Heng, Zhao Chisu and others then went back. Their breakfast was delivered to them, so they went into the house and washed their hands and ate the ready-made food directly.
After eating, Chi Sucai took out the medicine Yu Guming had brought and said, "This is what the prince asked me to give to you. He said it is for treating winter diseases in the summer."
Xue Hengzhao only glanced at it, nodded, and said nothing.
Yu Guming is a gentleman. He treats Xue Hengzhao well without any intention of repaying him, and he never entangles him.
Xue Hengzhao thought this was fine, since she was a person who never blamed herself.
In the Queen's Palace, Concubine Hui came over to chat.
The queen also knew why Concubine Hui came more frequently than usual these days.
However, she did not mention the sixth princess's marriage. Since it was someone else who wanted something from her, she still needed to hold it in check when it was time to take care of it.
What's more, this matter is just a casual favor to me, but to Concubine Hui and her daughter, it is a huge event.
Don't use the chess pieces brought to your door in vain, otherwise it will be a waste of natural resources.
Concubine Hui came for several days in a row and kept courting the queen. In the final analysis, it was just to keep her daughter by her side.
She couldn't bring it up rashly, for fear of upsetting the Queen.
But then I thought, if I didn't say it, I would inevitably have long nights and many dreams. If something went wrong, I would regret it immensely.
She originally thought of going to talk to Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian was currently in confinement and she couldn't see her. It would be another two months until Concubine Xian came out of the palace.
As for Liang Jing, who is always busy every day, she has not found a suitable opportunity.
"The flowers in the Queen's Palace are more energetic than those elsewhere." Concubine Hui praised, "The plants and trees are also spiritual. In the spring, the two pots of flowers you showed me to my concubine are the best in my palace."
Yes. This is also the blessing we have received from the Queen."
"What kind of blessing is there? These flowers and trees can be well cultivated as long as they are carefully raised." The Queen smiled and said, "People also say that raising flowers is good for giving birth to daughters. In fact, it is not possible for someone like me who cannot give birth to a daughter.
Good at growing flowers."
"Your Majesty is the goddess of flowers. How can she compare herself to ordinary people?" Concubine Hui said quickly, "It is enough for your Majesty to have a prince. For someone as unlucky as me, I can only have a daughter to relieve the desolate life under my knees."
Just a feeling.
However, daughters always have to get married, and in the final analysis, it is better to stay together less and stay apart more."
"No wonder you are sad, the Sixth Princess is about to propose a marriage." The Queen took a sip of tea and said slowly.
Concubine Hui's eyes were always fixed on the queen, not daring to miss even the smallest expression. She was careful and said with a smile on her face: "Queen, since we have finished talking here, then I will
I have the guts to beg you, can you marry the sixth girl nearby in the capital? We, mother and daughter, can see each other from time to time."
After Concubine Hui finished speaking, the Queen did not respond for a long time and did not even look at her.
It wasn't until the smile on Concubine Hui's face froze and her hands began to tremble slightly that she turned her gaze around.
The expression on his face was as easy-going as he had ever seen before, even with a hint of pity: "Sister, although I make the final decision on the marriages of the princes and princesses, the emperor is always above me.
To be honest, I also wanted to talk to His Majesty a few days ago to see what he meant?
Unexpectedly, before I could say anything, His Majesty mentioned the unrest at the border fortress, saying that the Sun-chasing King Chanyu was becoming more and more unruly, and that the border had already reported several incidents of Xiongnu going south to invade the border people.
Your Majesty couldn't help but think about how to stabilize the border. Even though you and I are women, we know that the Hun cavalry is the most difficult to deal with. They come and go without a trace, and it is not easy to fight them.
Besides, how can this matter of swordsmanship be tampered with? The emperor then talked about the past of the marriage, which was the most commonly used method since the Han and Tang Dynasties."
When Concubine Hui heard about it, she mentioned it to Xiongnu and Qinxin for a long time, and she didn't dare to breathe.
The queen smiled at her and said, "I heard the emperor say this, so I didn't dare to mention the sixth princess."
"Thank you so much for thinking about us, I think the marriage is a national matter and not something I, a harem woman, can discuss arbitrarily.
However, I think that even in marriages during the Han and Tang dynasties, it was often the daughters of the clan who were given the title of princess. In fact, there were not many true royal princesses.
Our building is now peaceful and peaceful, so we shouldn't ask a real princess to marry the Xiongnu to appease the Huns, right?" Concubine Hui was both expressing her attitude and testing.
"Having said that, the king Zhu Wang Shanyu was very ambitious that day. I heard that he also had the intention of getting married, but he had already threatened that if he wanted to marry, he would marry a real man." The queen said, "It's true.
If this is the case, if Your Majesty wants to agree to him, then only the Sixth Princess is the most suitable one."
