The Grand Princess

Chapter 142: rest

Fei Rou received a secret letter from Su Rongqing not a few days after Pei Wenxuan started arresting people. She glanced at Su Rongqing's secret letter, then frowned.

Cui Yulang was teaching Su Wang to draw. He seemed to be bored to see Concubine Rou, so he couldn't help but ask: "What annoyance did the empress encounter?"

"You said," Rou Fei hesitated and asked Cui Yulang, "Can you rest assured that Pei Wenxuan is doing things?"

When Cui Yulang got the answer, he quickly glanced at the letter in Rou Fei's hand, and probably guessed something. It should be someone who told Rou Fei that Pei Wenxuan's actions were incorrect. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, see the result. Isn’t that right? As long as Pei Wenxuan uses it well, what is the mother worried about?"

Concubine Rou did not speak, Cui Yulang took the boiling water from the side, poured it into the teapot, and slowly said, "Anyway, Pei Wenxuan is in the hands of Niang Niang. If he manages it well, she will use it. If it is not done well, she will send this person out. After all, he is not the person to supervise the department. Anyway, the people in the court have their own positions. The empress is now a family member." Cui Yulang poured the tea into the small tea bowl one by one, raised his eyes to Concubine Rou, and smiled slightly. "After all, someone can't bear it."

After listening to Cui Yulang's words, Concubine Rou thought for herself.

Pei Wenxuan and peace are inextricably linked, she couldn't believe it, but Su Rongqing was born in a family. Now that the reform of the imperial examination system clearly wants to weaken the family, can Su Rongqing believe it again?

"If you go back, please say to the Lord," Rou Fei raised her eyes to the person who was speaking, and said calmly, "My palace has her own thoughts, thank you for your reminder."

The person who spread the word got the word and immediately sent the news back to the Su Mansion.

Su Rongqing was drinking tea in the courtyard, listening to the news from Concubine Rou, his expression remained unchanged, watching the tea soup in the bowl.

The attendant Su Zhizhu beside him couldn't help frowning: "My son, Concubine Rou does not listen to advice like this, then..."

"It's okay."

Su Rongqing raised his hand to stop Su Zhizhu's words, held up the tea cup, and just asked, "Have you arranged for the northwest side?"

"arranged."

Su Zhizhu's voice was steady: "Everything is done as the adults ordered."

"Yeah." Su Rongqing nodded, her expression calm, "Then don't worry about it."

"But Empress Roucon..."

"She wants to die," Su Rongqing turned to look at Su Zhizhu, "Isn't it better?"

Su Zhizhu was stunned, Su Rongqing changed the question: "Who is the staff by her side today?"

Su Zhizhu heard the question, reacted, only said: "It's Cui Yulang."

"Let people stare at him." Su Rongqing took a sip of tea, "You don't need to do the rest."

Su Rongqing didn't bother, Pei Wenxuan took a leisurely time. After he helped Concubine Rou to send all the members of the Shangguan family to the Supervisory Department, Concubine Rou's reputation was unprecedentedly high in Huajing.

This imperial concubine of civilian origin, without fear of the nobles, asked for orders for the people. Suddenly, the fame of Concubine Rou and King Su rose, and the supporters of King Su vaguely began to appear in the countryside.

With prestige, Concubine Rou also started to stop, after all, she just wanted to eradicate dissidents, not really asking for her life.

At that time, people from all families kept coming to Suwang Mansion. The children of the family who looked down on her on weekdays all bowed to her, said good words, and the gold and silver treasures came in like flowing water. Although Roufei and Huale did not show up, But how much is difficult to control.

When they are in a good mood, they can't help but think about Pei Wenxuan, and think this person is indeed good.

Concubine Rou was thinking about how to stabilize Pei Wenxuan on her side. Hua Le thought for a while and couldn't help but said, "It's better to marry sister Wei to him."

After hearing this, Concubine Rou turned her head, her face was a little surprised.

Hua Le suddenly felt that he had said something wrong, and quickly said: "I was joking, don't punish me, the queen."

"What do you do to punish you?" Consort Rou thought for a while and couldn't help laughing. "I think you have a good idea."

Concubine Roux said, pondering: "If you can't marry a prince, it should be somewhat useful."

The arrogance of Concubine Rou's mother and daughter also fell into Li Rong's ears. Li Rong kept her feet in the house and regarded these things as a joy.

When Concubine Rou was favored, she told Li Ming that she was tired, so she avoided the gift of peace. It didn't matter if she didn't ask the queen. Not even the queen mother. Don’t say anything about the queen mother, but gave a ruler to Concubine Rou. Let the maid passing the message ask her: "Does the mother know how to measure?"

Let alone those who are rude to Shangguan, she still likes to show off. At the last palace banquet, she told everyone in front of everyone that the grapes prepared by the queen were not of good quality, and took the freshest grapes from the Western Regions to distribute to everyone on the spot.

It's easy to talk about national affairs between words and talk about current affairs, which makes everyone in the harem bored for a while.

Li Rong felt happy every day when she heard this. Jinglan followed Li Rong every day to listen to Rou Fei's affairs, but after a month or two, she felt that Rou Fei had changed.

She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "His Royal Highness, Concubine Rou is not a fool, and she has a good reputation in the palace for so many years. Why..."

Jinglan couldn't go on, but Li Rong laughed. She took the freshly washed grapes from the plate next to her, and slowly said, "Do you know the most terrifying thing about power?"

With that, Li Rong raised her head and looked at her with a smile: "When it corrodes people's hearts, the person who has been corroded so badly doesn't feel at all."

"Many people will suddenly have a little bit of power throughout their lives. Become a small official, earn a fortune, get a title on a gold list, and even take the top spot in a private school. These will make them suddenly fall into an illusion, in this illusion, they I will indulge my behavior, talk, and feel that everything is acceptable."

"So, the easiest way to destroy a person is to let her suddenly get something far beyond what she can get."

Li Rong pushed the grapes into her lips with her fingers. She looked at the butterflies flying not far away with a smile on her face: "You don't have to act, she will perish on her own."

Jinglan listened to Li Rong's words without saying a word. Li Rong swallowed the grapes in her mouth and was about to lie back. When she heard a message from someone at the door: "Your Highness, Master Pei's mother Wen is begging to see you."

Li Rong couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

What is Wen doing to see her now? Is it still impossible to chase and curse from Pei Mansion?

Although Li Rong is currently in a restricted state, the guards know that this is just a gesture, so although Li Rong cannot go out, others can come in at will.

Li Rong was silent for a while, and Jinglan cautiously said: "His Royal Highness, is it Xuan?"

This is Pei Wenxuan's mother. Naturally, she can't leave it outside. Li Rong nodded and said, "Then declare it."

With that said, Li Rong stood up and went to the main hall.

After arriving in the main hall, she saw Wen already sitting there.

When she met Li Rong, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, sitting sternly, trying to show some elders' calm posture, but felt a little short of breath.

When Li Rong came in, she carefully adjusted three sitting positions secretly, and finally found one she was satisfied with, and sat upright. After the two parties saw An and salute each other, Li Rong sat down and said with a smile: "Why did the old lady come here today?"

"His Royal Highness," Wen said with a sad expression, "I shouldn't have bothered you, but there are some things, I have to come over and understand."

Wen raised his head with a very serious expression, Li Rong nodded and said casually: "You said."

"Wen Xuan actually doesn't want to leave with you."

Wen first spoke and said this sentence, Li Rong smiled bitterly, without saying much, bowed his head and poured tea.

Wen thought that Li Rong gave up, and immediately said: "Wen Xuan, this kid, has never liked anything in particular. Only in the person of His Highness, I can see how he really likes a person. Your Highness, he actually I can't bear you."

"Yeah." Li Rong raised her head and said perfunctorily, "I know all of this. Does the old lady have anything to do with him?"

"I have to apologize for my son."

Wen said with some difficulty: "My son has been confused by a fox recently and hid a woman in the house."

Li Rong shook his hand, and Wen continued to gritted his teeth and said: "Fortunately, I found out early, and had a fierce fight with the woman, and persuaded her to get lost and sent the woman out early. But the woman is too real Shameless, I was all kicked out, still nostalgic for my son, and just wandering outside Pei's mansion when I have nothing to do. Now it is even more excessive!

Wen said that with righteous indignation, he took out a sheet of paper from his sleeve and said: "She dared to write a greeting card directly into the mansion and invite my son to see him in the heart of the lake! Tell me how shame she is !"

Li Rong was a little strange when she heard this.

She is the woman who lives in the mansion. Who is this woman who has been wandering outside and still writes greetings to the mansion?

"Old lady, is it convenient for me to read the greeting card?"

Li Rong stretched out his hand to make it clear. When Wen saw Li Rong wanted to take care of it, he quickly handed over the greeting note: "Look, it's this vixen."

Li Rong took the greeting from Wen and glanced hurriedly.

This greeting note was well-written, but the font was good. Li Rong read this greeting note casually, and saw the word "Hua" at the end of the greeting note.

Li Rong paused.

At this time, Pei Wenxuan, who was secretly discussing the next step with Li Chuan, couldn't help but sneezed severely.

Seeing Pei Wenxuan suddenly sneezing, Li Chuan couldn't help but said, "Why are you uncomfortable?"

Pei Wenxuan waved his hand: "It's okay, just keep talking."

With that, Pei Wenxuan continued with Li Chuan's words: "Lady Rou will probably give up another part of the students. She has already collected money from those people, and it is impossible to arrest them. In order to appease these students, she should be able to Make some promises."

"At that time, she won't let you negotiate with the students?" Li Chuan frowned, a little uneasy.

Pei Wenxuan smiled: "Of course she wants me to talk, but I have done so many things, so it's time for a rest."

"Then how are you going to rest?"

Li Chuan was a little strange, Pei Wenxuan smiled and looked outside the house: "Naturally go to a place where she can't get me to rest."
