The Grand Princess

Chapter 33: Rou Fei

Li Rong received Pei Wenxuan’s reply the next day. Li Rong took a look at the wedding gown he shook out. After thinking about it, she pulled out another drawing of the wedding gown and handed it to Jinglan: "He said, Embroider the phoenix piece."

Jinglan was stunned, and couldn't help saying: "Isn't Mr. Pei the one that I chose for the peony?"

"Actually, both are fine," Li Rong said with a clean hand, "I just use an elimination method."

With this, the maid next to her bowed her head and laughed. After the group of people had fun, Li Rong calculated the time. Her mother should be up, and she went to visit Weiyang Palace as usual.

Under normal circumstances, she had to visit the queen every day, but during these hours she was investigating and going to jail, but she had not seen her mother for a long time. She took the kerchief from the side and wiped her hands clean, then turned and led the people to Weiyang Palace.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace, I heard bursts of laughter from the women in Weiyang Palace. Li Rong smiled and entered the door, and saw almost all the concubines in the harem. Her mother, Shangguan Yue, was sitting in a high position, laughing with everyone. With.

"What funny things are all the empresses talking about, laughing so happy?"

Li Rong walked in, asked with a smile, and then saluted the queen seated in front of him: "I have seen my mother."

Then he turned his head and saluted the four noble concubines above: "I have seen you all empresses."

"It turns out that Xiaopingle is here," she just got up, a soft voice rang, Li Rong looked up, it was Rou Fei who was looking at her with a smile, "Sit down quickly."

The word "rou" is taken from her real name. Her real name is Xiao Rou. She is from an ordinary family. She entered the palace early when she was young and became a maid. Because of her agility, she served by Li Ming's side when she was young. It is said that Li Ming was not happy when he was the prince. Xiao Rou spent his teenage years in the cold palace with him, so that Li Ming has always had a strange feeling for Xiao Rou. Later when Li Ming was still the prince, Xiao Rou was married to a minister by the empress at the time, but not long after marrying, Li Ming became emperor. After a few years, the minister died at home due to illness. Xiao Rou first became a monk, and later met Li Ming in the temple. After the spring breeze, she returned to the palace, and she was honored and favored in the harem for decades.

With this ability, her appearance is naturally good. Now she is nearly half a hundred years old, but she is still very well maintained, and her charm still exists. Compared with the queen who is seven years younger than her, she is not inferior.

She is now the head of the four concubines, assisting the queen in taking care of the harem, and being sociable. When Li Rong came in, the queen did not speak, but she spoke first.

Li Rong smiled softly and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

The maid set up a small table recently under the queen's left hand. Li Rong sat down behind the small table. As soon as she took her seat, she heard Concubine from the top ask the queen: "I heard that Pingle's marriage has been decided recently, but is it serious?"

"The imperial decree of the marriage gift has been issued," Shangguan Yue said calmly, "It is Pei Wenxuan, the eldest son of the Pei family."

"Is it Pei Lizhi's son?" Rou Fei laughed. "I saw that child three or four years ago. She was indeed very handsome and peaceful." Rou Fei turned her head and looked at Li Rong. "I heard you are the same. The Yang family he checked together?"

"Niang Niang," Li Rong said gently, "I haven't married yet. If you say these are not appropriate, let's change the subject."

"Pingle is shy." Concubine Duan played round the field next to him, and looked up at Concubine Rou. "Look at sister Rou who is ashamed of the child. It's not our old things, you ask, who will take care of you?"

Concubine Rou raised a ball fan and laughed, and the hall suddenly burst into laughter. Li Rong took a few sips while holding the teacup, but said nothing.

After the concubine laughed for a while, the queen let her go away first, and Concubine Roux sat motionless. When everyone left, the queen turned her head and looked at Concubine Ju: "You have something to say?"

"I just want Pingle to help me."

Rou Fei smiled and looked at Li Rong: "Pingle used to like to be alone and not very close to other sisters and brothers. Now she is going to marry. During the last period of time, many younger sisters want to get along well with your sister. For a while, I listened to my sister's teaching, so I was thinking, or let Pingle take a period of time every day to regularly communicate with other princesses in the palace," said Roufei, turning her head to look at the queen, "Niang Niang What do you think?"

The queen frowned. She knew that Concubine Rou was not kind and was about to refuse, so she heard Li Rong say: "Okay."

Concubine Rou was taken aback for a moment, and Li Rong raised her eyes to look at Concubine Rou: "What kind of expression is this empress, do you think Pingle won't agree?"

"Why?" Rou Fei laughed, "I know that although Pingle may seem cold on weekdays, he actually has brothers and sisters in his heart."

"The mother said this," Li Rongjin fan tapped the palm of her hand, "As if I don't have any brothers or sisters in my heart on weekdays, what you said is really killing me."

Concubine Rou was stunned by Li Rong, her smile on her face was a little bit difficult, she could only turn her head to look at the queen and said, "Look at this child. He hasn't seen him for just two months, so clever teeth.

"I have been thinking about all my sisters in my heart," Li Rong picked up the tea cup and said softly, "There are many things that I want to teach them. I think Concubine Roux might as well organize it. I give lectures to my sisters for two hours a day. how is it?"

"Lecture?"

Concubine Rou was stunned: "What are you going to talk about?"

"The empress dowager is used to being enthusiastic about Buddhism. I talked about Buddhism to my sisters. I also have some daily behaviors, etiquette, and rituals to avoid making mistakes. I heard that Huale was playing in the yard some time ago. A maid?"

Hua Le is the eldest daughter of Concubine Rou, who is used to being arrogant. Concubine Rou's face changed a lot when she heard this, and she immediately said: "Is there such a thing?! Then you should be disciplined."

"Okay." Li Rong smiled, "Pingle will do it well if you have the words of a lady."

When Concubine Roux heard this, her heart suddenly became a little uneasy. Li Rong looked at the sky, and then said, "Concubine Roux wants to leave a meal?"

This is just to rush the guests, and Concubine Rou has finished what she should say, and stood up and said: "No, you are here for the empress, and I won't disturb the love between you two."

As Concubine Roux said, after a few greetings with the queen, she shook her fan and left.

Seeing that the queen was about to get up, Li Rong stepped forward to support her. The queen stood up supported by her, and she was rather dissatisfied: "What should you do before you come down? She obviously has no good intentions."

"Since she has bad intentions, can she allow me to refuse?"

Li Rong helped the queen to walk into the courtyard, and calmly said: "I shouldn't be right now. She wants to ask her father to blow her pillow breeze and talk about fostering sisterhood. The father is used to listening to her, and she will come down tomorrow if she is afraid of her will. Up."

"It's disgusting."

The queen frowned, showing her continued disgust. Li Rong chuckled, "So let's not take this dog and man to heart. You are the queen, the most noble woman in the world. Just be a queen. That woman wants me. To cultivate feelings, we should come down, and the father will still think that I am more reasonable."

"If she is..."

"She won't do it herself." Li Rong walked in the garden with the queen, and said slowly, "After so many years, don't you understand her methods? This time, let me cultivate relationships with several princesses. The opportunity for a princess to contact me, a few of them are silly, she doesn’t have to do it, someone will do it naturally."

"You all want to understand." The queen breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Li Rong's analysis. "Then you need to deal with it well."

"Do not worry."

Li Rong's voice was flat: "The things in the harem, don't just use a little trick, don't worry. In fact, we should be happy."

"What's the pleasure?" The queen looked sad, "I don't think there is anything to be happy about now."

"You have to think about it this way. If my marriage is of no value, Concubine Rou will not think of ways to destroy it. She is now asking me to trouble, and that can only prove one thing."

"What?" The queen turned her head, Li Rong laughed, "Pei Wenxuan is afraid that he will be promoted."

The queen was stunned. After a while, the queen sighed slightly: "You young children, the more I look at it, the more I can't understand it. You sent Chuan'er to the northwest. The first two months really scared me to death. On the one hand, I was afraid that Chuaner would have trouble on the battlefield, on the other hand, I was afraid that he could not do well in the northwest. His Majesty sent him off for this reason. I can only ask your uncle for help. After this tossing down, Shangguan family is really hurt. Chuan'er didn't get any credit, you are still very happy." The queen flushed her eyes, "I really want to doubt which Pei Wenxuan is on."

"Mother Queen," Li Rong raised her hand to embrace the Queen's shoulders, comforting her, "Don't worry. In fact, you should think, if you can't understand it, it would be better. This proves that the father is more difficult to understand. Shangguan It’s not a bad thing for the family to consume a little now. The queen has a very simple reason," Li Rong persuaded, "Hide the blade. When you kill, you can kill with one blow."

"Then you have to have a blade too."

The queen was a little anxious, but Li Rong didn't say a word, and went to the place to eat with the queen. The two sat down together. The queen handled hands in the copper basin, pouring her hands with water, and said: "This time, your uncle will help. Made a request."

"Ok?"

"He wants to send Ya'er into the palace."

Hearing this, Li Rong's hand movement stopped. The queen took the veil from the side and looked back at her: "Do you remember Ya'er? You saw it when you were young."

"Oh, remember."

Li Rong recovered and hurriedly said, "I remember she returned to Youzhou very early."

"I will come back to Beijing next month, and I will attend your wedding by the way." The queen chatted casually, "Chuan'er is not young anymore. I plan to choose him for his concubine next year. Now I am looking for some good candidates. The crown prince must be Ya'er, as for other good people, you can watch them too."

Li Rong did not speak, the queen took the chopsticks, and ate the meal and said: "After marrying Ya'er, I want to marry him four more side concubines, the side concubine candidates, the girl is not very important, the background is more important, please help Look, it's best to choose two generals from the house. Chuan'er has no military power in his hands and is always a weakness."

The queen chatted with Li Rong and ate at the same time.

Li Rong talked little in front of the queen, mostly the queen was talking. After a meal, the queen was also a little tired. She planned to take a nap, so Li Rong retired.

On the way back, she sat on the sedan chair, thinking about what the queen said.

In the last life, Li Chuan did marry Shangguanya, and then married four side concubines. Shangguanya was close to her and knew her when she was young. Later, she was separated because Shangguanya went to Youzhou and became a younger brother-in-law when she returned. Does not affect the relationship between the two.

The matter of marrying a side concubine has little effect on Shangguanya. She is a very strong-minded woman. She looks noble and glamorous on weekdays. When she is familiar with her, she opens her mouth and becomes the irritable eldest sister. Everything is family first, and the rest is self. Personal hobbies, drinking, playing chess and painting, have a very chic life.

When Li Chuan didn’t spoil her, Li Rong deliberately thought of a way for her, but Shangguanya looked at the inner account and waved her hand: “Don’t affect my back position, just give me a face. Yuan, if he weren't the emperor, who would take care of him patiently?"

A word blocked Li Rong back, but Li Rong also knew that Shangguanya was definitely not forced to smile. She is such a celebrity and temperament, it is probably really annoying to see Li Chuan.

But it didn't affect Shangguanya, which doesn't mean it didn't affect the others. The four side concubines fought back and forth, and at the end of the fight, two died, one became a monk, and the other one could think about it, staying with Shangguanya in the palace for half a lifetime.

In this way, no one had a good ending in the previous life.

Knowing that this is the result, do you have to follow the path to make everything happen again?

Li Rong tapped her hand with a fan, quietly thinking.

Qin Zhen really must not re-enter the palace, and even after that, it would be best if she and Li Chuan never meet again.

And Shangguanya...

Li Rong hesitated for a moment, but didn't know how to decide.

She took a deep breath, rolled up the curtain, and told Jinglan: "You send to the Shangguan Mansion. If Miss Shangguanya comes back, let someone report it immediately."

"Yes."

"Also," Li Rong thought for a while, "you ask Pei Wenxuan to write me a letter, which probably means to entrust the person delivering the letter to me, and ask me to go to a place where he and I can meet. He said he had something to give me. Then let him take that thing day by day and listen to my call at any time."

"Yes."

Jinglan came down.

After Li Rong ordered all this, she put down the curtain and leaned against the curtain to rest.

Pei Wenxuan’s letter was passed through the people in the princess mansion the next day. Pei Wenxuan’s letter contained a lot of things. Li Rong took a look at the letter he had written in accordance with her request and confirmed that the servant had understood that there was nothing wrong with the point. Put the letter on the body.

Then she opened Pei Wenxuan's letter and saw three sentences: "How to decide the wedding dress? Can you encounter tricky things? And, Your Highness is very rich."

Seeing this "His Royal Highness is very rich", Li Rong couldn't help but laugh. She took the letter away, looked at the miscellaneous other things that Pei Wenxuan had given her, and found that he counted her wealth and budget.

While looking at the list, Li Rong took the teacup from Jinglan. Jinglan looked at Li Rong's smile and couldn't help but say: "What is your Royal Highness looking at? You smile so happy?"

"Master Pei is still very capable."

Li Rong took a sip of tea while holding the cup with one hand, then put the tea cup down, and threw the accounts sent by Pei Wenxuan into the brazier used to burn the paper.

After washing, Li Rong got the news that Concubine Roux had already booked teaching locations for several princesses. Li Rong nodded and got up and found that Concubine Rou was set in the waterside pavilion of the Royal Garden.

"The empress said," the **** who led the way said, "the summer is hot and it is cool on the water pavilion, and it is great that your Highness is here to give a lecture with some princesses."

Li Rong responded and stepped into the water pavilion. As soon as she entered, she saw that her six sisters had already arrived.

Among the six younger sisters, the two younger sisters, Changle and Huale, are both in their senior years. Changle was born by the concubine Mei, one of the four noble concubines. He was a noble and well-loved concubine and was used to not dealing with Li Rong. Hua Le, the daughter of Concubine Roux, inherited Concubine Rou's usual smiling face, but in private, she was very violent. The remaining four princesses were less than fifteen years old, and they seemed to be just a few children. They were so different from Li Rong's age that they did not overlap.

After Li Rong entered, Chang Le turned around and looked over, and suddenly laughed: "Oh, sister is here."

Li Rong laughed: "You guys came early, sit down."

With that, Li Rong sat in the first place. After several princesses sat down one after another, Changle looked at Li Rong and said with a smile: "I heard that my sister was accused of marriage to the eldest son of Pei's son. My sister is used to being favored. The person who refers to the marriage must also be the proud son of heaven, and his identity is extraordinary?"

Li Rong did not speak, and opened the scroll in front of her: "Let’s recite the Diamond Sutra today."

"Why," Changle was happy when he saw Li Rong not answering, "Sister, what is there to say? Is Master Pei a member of the Central Committee? But he is also young, even if he is less than Su Shi Lang, he has at least a sixth rank Official Dangdang, right?"

"Changle," Li Rong looked up at her, and said gently, "Today's lecture, if you don't like it, sister can teach others."

"Oh?" Chang Le raised an eyebrow, "What else can my sister teach?"

"Jinglan, go to Weiyang Palace and invite Mother Si Zheng."

Jinglan got the words and took the order. Changle didn't understand, so she continued: "Sister, just talk about it."

"Chang Le," Hua Le hurriedly persuaded next to him, "I heard that Pei Wenxuan is an eighth-rank little official, please don't poke your sister's heart."

Li Rong didn't speak, but drank tea calmly.

After a while, an old woman followed Jinglan with a ruler in her hand, and after entering the house, she bowed to Li Rong.

"Your Highness."

"My palace was ordered to teach some princesses the rules of being princesses. I wanted to give lectures, but today it seems that some younger sisters have forgotten the basic rules of the palace. Let Madam Si Zheng teach you again."

Hearing this, everyone turned pale, and Li Rong turned to look at the younger princesses and said: "Changle and Huale are good at learning, and the other sisters are still young, so just let it go."

"Pingle, dare you!"

Changle patted the table, raised his hand and pointed at Li Rong. Li Rong smiled lightly and drank tea calmly: "Without respect, what kind of table does a princess take? Sister Si Zheng, what do you think?"

"Pop-mouth thugs."

"The palm of the mouth has the face of losing the heavens," Li Rong said lightly, "Tell me."

The person next to him did not dare to move, and Chang Le sneered: "I want to see who dares to move me today?"

"Who wouldn't dare to move you," Li Rong raised his eyes to look at the crowd, "Who is going to move in this palace. This palace is the eldest princess, who came to teach several princesses under the name of the soft concubine. Today this palace is a palace. Can the rules fail?!"

With that, Li Rong stood up abruptly, raised her finger to Chang Le, and said angrily: "Suppress her for me!"

As soon as the voice fell, Jinglan Jingmei rushed up, grabbed Changle, and the maid next to Changle wanted to rush up. Li Rong swept across and said coldly: "You can think about it. If you commit a crime, you will die."

Several maids were frightened, and Mother Si Zheng stepped forward, raising her hand mercilessly and hitting the palm of Changle with ten boards.

Chang Le screamed, Li Rong's expression was as calm as ever, and she only said: "When you are done, go out. I will also give lectures to other sisters."

As soon as the voice fell, there was the voice of the young man outside. After a while, the young man was stunned when he lifted the curtain.

Li Rong looked up and saw that he was a handsome man. He was wearing a black coat embroidered with golden birds and a single shirt inside. He held a small fan in his hand. He had a fringe similar to Su Rongqing. Su Rongqing did not have the madness.

Behind him stood Su Rongqing who was talking to him. When the curtain was rolled, Su Rongqing's smile did not disappear, the curtain was slowly pulled up, Su Rongqing's gaze naturally fell on Li Rong, the voice of speech stopped abruptly, and Li Rong quietly looked at each other. .

One stood and the other sat, and the two looked at each other. The black-clothed man next to him was the first to react, and knelt on the ground anxiously, and said loudly: "Weichen Su Ronghua and his fellow ministers have seen Your Highness!"

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Queen: "Rongrong, Concubine Roux wants you to participate in the palace fight, aren't you afraid?"

Li Rong: "What's so scary about going to kindergarten to hit children?"

Queen: "..."
