When the fifth master saw the fourth master, he smiled and said: "I scolded Lao Jiu for being careless just now. It's because the fourth brother doesn't care about him. Let's try someone else. With such a generous temper, what can the fourth brother do?"
Those who surrender live.”
While scolding Lao Jiu, he flattered Lao Si. Master Wu felt that he was really worried because of this younger brother. He had never said soft words in his life, and he had never said soft words to anyone for his own sake. Now for Lao
Nine, I said it instead.
The fourth master invited him to sit down. The two were brothers who were right next to each other. Together with the third son, they spent more time together.
They also understand each other's temperament better. Lao Wu is a good old man.
"Sit down." Fourth Master said, "Lao Jiu is indeed talented in certain things. If you can't do it yourself, no one will dare to speak to Huang Ama."
"Then the fourth brother has discovered his strengths." The fifth master bowed his hand. Didn't the eighth brother not show up?
"Don't worry, fourth brother, I know this well. Although Lao Jiu is confused, he is not confused yet."
A well-informed sentence is better than anything else. The implication is that if you have something to say, please speak up. We are definitely not causing trouble for you.
The fourth master smiled and pointed at the tea in the cup: "Try it, your fourth sister-in-law made it herself."
This is to understand the other party’s intention to surrender.
The two picked up the tea cups and reached a basic consensus.
On the other side, Master Jiu had to go into the palace to express his gratitude. At the gate of the palace, he happened to meet Shi Shi who was about to enter the palace.
One of them entered the outer court and the other entered the inner palace. After entering the palace gate, they should go their separate ways.
Fourteen said angrily: "Isn't this Ninth Brother? I haven't seen you for two days. Things are really different now."
Haven't we seen each other for just two days?
Master Jiu snorted, and the breath he exhaled turned into a large cloud of white mist.
It almost made Shi Shi's nose crooked with anger.
Master Jiu knew that the fourteenth man must be feeling uncomfortable. He had no intention of talking to him about anything now. He just said: "It's so cold. Stop grinding your teeth outside. After we leave the palace, let's go have a drink together."
It seemed to be explaining why he just snorted.
Looking at Lao Jiu's leaving figure, Fourteen curled his lips in disdain, "What's the air?" He didn't believe that his fourth brother could not care about his mother's face.
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De looked at her young son who was full of grievances and really wanted to slap him in the face.
With his bad temper, would the Fourth Dare put him in the Lifan Courtyard?
What kind of place is the Lifanyuan? Tell her, it's a place where you quarrel with those who want to take advantage. They want more, but the emperor wants to give less. With such quarrels, it's like bargaining with the vendors outside.
There is a truth. Except for Lao Jiu who can be embarrassed to argue with them about this cheap thing, which of the other elders has such patience? If they don't agree with each other, there will be too many things on their shoulders. Where is Lao Fourteen?
Are you a little angry? Ask him to go? It’s the fourth child who promised but he didn’t agree. Once trouble occurs in a place like this, it will be a big disaster.
Concubine De broke these truths into pieces and told them to Fourteen, "You only stand on your own side and always want to ask your fourth brother to give in to you, think about you, and provide for you!
Why don't you see your fourth brother's difficulties? He can pull anyone over, but he can't pull out his own brother openly. Don't you understand this in your heart, and that's why you have the idea to hang around behind Lao Ba?"
Concubine De's voice became even lower, "You see, Lao Ba pried Prince Zhi into the corner, and you had other thoughts. From the beginning to the end, you didn't have your own ideas. Did you?"
Fourteen knelt down and suddenly felt at a loss. It turned out that in the eyes of others, he looked like this. Even the empress in the palace could understand it, let alone others.
"You go back well and talk to your brother well. You have done your job well. Your fourth brother knows what he is doing." Concubine De waved her hands. She really didn't want to see this troublesome person. If she wasn't afraid that he would run out to look for her,
Fourth child, the two brothers are having a fight again, and she won't say so many taboo words.
Shi Shi kowtowed to Concubine De. He was thinking about what the empress said, maybe he was so shallow in the eyes of others and could see through it all at a glance.
So what does Lao Ba think of himself? What does the Emperor think of himself?
The more I think about it, the more scared I become. The more I think about it, the more frightened and uneasy I become.
As soon as I left Yonghe Palace, I saw Concubine Yi's sedan carriage coming this way.
Concubines like Concubine Yi are still different from those young concubines. He quickly stood on the side of the road, bowed down and said, "Yi'e Niang'an."
"It's fourteen. What? Come into the palace to pay your respects to your mother-in-law?" Concubine Yi smiled, "I'm going to talk to your mother-in-law now."
"That's just right, E Niang is bored alone." Shi Shi smiled and said, "Congratulations to Yi E Niang."
Yi Fei's eyes flashed, and she knew why Fourteen was here. She told her that this Fourteen was different from Lao Jiu. Although Lao Jiu was confused, he was close to Lao Wu. They also knew how close they were to each other. But
What about Fourteen? He is not a fool in front of anyone, not his own brother.
When I was young, I competed with Concubine De for the favor of the saint. This competition for favor was 30% true and 70% false. In the past, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong competed, but later on, she was not allowed to fight with Concubine De?
At that time, everyone thought that they had some sincerity from the emperor. However, as the children grew older and they were no longer young, they all gradually realized it.
Why are you still fighting so hard? Just keep quiet in the harem, and the sons will be in the front so that they won't be implicated. Which mother with a son doesn't do this?
If everyone is together and saying a few words to cheer each other up, that's certainly possible. But if they're fighting over each other, that's really not the case.
However, it is true that for no special reason, these concubines who have sons rarely meet each other. I am afraid that the emperor will overthink and think that they are secretly communicating with each other.
In the past few years, when Prince Zhi was in the limelight, Concubine Hui was naturally the most respected one. They had to be humble in everything.
The sons do not dare to challenge Prince Zhi outside, and mothers like them cannot hold back their sons.
Later, Prince Zhi fell, and Lao Ba came up. Because Lao Ba was raised in Concubine Hui's palace, no one dared to do anything to Concubine Hui. Only Concubine Hui took a step back. On the contrary, Concubine Liang's palace fawned over her.
There are more and more people.
When the fourth child was also granted the title of prince, more and more people went to Liangfei's palace. They all felt that they were only princes and had no chance of becoming the prince.
Behind Lao Jiu and Lao Ba, she is unwilling to flatter the good concubine. She really can't say no to face. After all, she still has Lao Wu. She can't drag Lao Wu into the water.
Besides, she really doesn't like Lao Ba.
The emperor was watching from above, and he no longer dared to pull Lao Jiu or ask him to hang around behind Lao Ba.
If you really do this, you are not doing it out of a loving mother's heart. Instead, you are trying to figure out the holy will and have ulterior motives.
Thinking of Lao Jiu, she sometimes felt so angry that her tooth ached.
Now that Lao Jiu understands it easily, he wants to take advantage of Lao Si. Is Lao Si so scheming?
Prince Zhi, the deposed prince, the third child, and the thirteenth child all fell one by one. But the fourth child was not far away from the others, so how come he not only did not fall, but became more and more favored by the emperor.
He dared to flirt with such a person. It was thanks to Lao Si's scheming and not to argue with him. Instead, he gave Lao Jiu a push.
She couldn't think about whether the fourth child would get greater benefits by doing this. She could only think about how they successfully removed the ninth child and gave him a decent job. She had to be grateful for that.
It was Lao Jiu who benefited, and she had to remember this favor.
It is not a shameful thing to lower one's head when visiting Concubine De.
I didn’t see that Lao Qi didn’t want to touch anyone, but did the concubines almost consider Concubine De’s Yonghe Palace as their own home?
What's the purpose of becoming a concubine? It's not just to find a helper for Lao Qi.
It's all for the sake of the children. She doesn't have to worry about the fifth child. Just because she is raised by the Queen Mother and can protect herself wisely, the wealth and honor of this generation are indispensable. Now she is also the king of the county, isn't she?
But Lao Jiu is still a bald brother. With the emperor here, it's okay. If the emperor is gone... I don't dare to think about it. If he is really reduced to an ordinary clan, he will suffocate himself to death.
Concubine De personally welcomed Concubine Yi in, and they sat down hand in hand.
"I just met Old Fourteen, why didn't I leave the child to eat?" Concubine Yi asked first.
Concubine De waved her hand and said, "We don't know who is the other. The fourth one on my side is the worry-free one, and the fifth one on your side is the sensible one. The ninth one is asking you to worry, and these fourteenth ones are even more worried than the ninth one. The children are all older now."
, is the emperor watching? Let’s just eat, drink, and be merry. Let them take care of the external matters. They say it’s not up to the mother to control the child. It’s not up to us to make the decision, so let’s be out of sight and out of mind.”
Nothing can be done accurately until the end. The emperor's thoughts are very difficult to guess. I used to love the deposed prince a lot, but what happened? I said he was deposed. Later, he fell in love with Prince Zhi. It was really good for him.
All good. In the end, she turned against her heart. Concubine Rong was pitiful. In the early years, she was also very favored by the saints. She gave birth to six children in ten years, and only raised Princess Rongxian and the third child. Rongxian lived in Mongolia.
It's not bad. The third child has never gone wrong. He suddenly took the blame. What did Concubine Rong say? She didn't do what she should have done. Looking at it, she seemed to be relieved. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, called the third child.
There is no chance to sink deeper.
What did the emperor do that everyone could have predicted?
Therefore, even if it is safe to look at the fourth child now, no one can tell until the end. If he really becomes the second Zhijun Wang, how will he deal with himself then.
Concubine Yi felt that she was here to bow to her. But Concubine De was frightened. She would never dare to accept it as a matter of course.
It was the emperor who used Lao Ninth, not Lao Si. This favor was a hot one for her.
Concubine Yi also knew what Concubine De meant. They called Concubine Cheng and Concubine Hui. They set up a stall and played mahjong.
Concubine Hui looked much older when she fell from the throne of Zhijun. But she really couldn't close the palace door and ignore anyone. She was as miserable as Coptis. She had to live her life as usual. She couldn't let the emperor feel that she had any resentment.
Heart.
Besides, she still has her grandson Hongyu to take care of.
Yi Fei thought for a moment, everyone said that the fourth child was cautious. Now after seeing Concubine De, she finally understood where the fourth child was cautious. (. )
