The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 157: Concubine (1)

If Jiang Ruan's intelligence is even incomparable to Li An, it will be an excellent help. Anyway, he wanted to win over the Jiang family and the Xia family, and marrying Jiang Ruan and Jiang Susu was no different. But now that Jiang Susu's reputation is ruined, Jiang Ruan is so smart... He thought of Jiang Ruan's young but charming face, his heart swayed, and he suddenly sighed comfortably.

If you can take it for your own use, if you can take it for your own use... He suddenly smiled, swept away the gloomy expression before, and said: "Get ready, I want to go to the palace to meet my mother and concubine."

It is not yet known who will win the game.

With green tiles and vermilion walls, and heavy curtains, the resplendent palace looks glamorous on the outside, but it is unknown how many bones are buried deep.

Simeng Hall is located in the southeast corner of the imperial palace, where the environment is quiet and adjacent to a large area of ​​peony gardens. The peony seeds sent from Luoyang by the emperor were specially handled by craftsmen and transplanted here. Every time the peony blooms, the peony garden is the most beautiful.

The one who lives here is one of the four concubines, the concubine Chen Guifei who is quite favored today, and the biological mother of the eighth prince.

When the emperor ascended the throne for the first time, his foundation was unstable. Concubine Chen's father held the military power and sent Concubine Chen to the palace to express his support for the emperor. For the emperor, the stability of the throne was guaranteed. The Chen family has a certain kindness with him, and Concubine Chen Guifei is gentle and graceful, beautiful and talented, she never competes with other beauties to be jealous, the emperor loves her aloofness the most, and she protects her intentionally or unintentionally. Concubine Chen Guifei gave birth to the eighth prince Ye Li, and the mother became the head of the four concubines all the way because of her son.

The empress gave birth to a prince, among the four concubines, the virtuous concubine gave birth to the fourth prince, the de concubine gave birth to the fifth prince, and the concubine Shu gave birth to the Princess Heyi.

All the courtiers know that the eighth prince Ye Li is intelligent and gentle, the fifth prince Ye Hua is loyal and courageous, the fourth prince Ye Lang is mediocre, and Princess Heyi is delicate and beautiful. The prince is mediocre and has no talent, and cannot be used for much. The fourth prince Ye Lang is kind but has no scheming. Now the wind is leaning towards Ye Li and Ye Hua. But the emperor has always treated Concubine Chen very well. Although Ye Hua is powerful, his mother Concubine De is not as favored as Concubine Chen.

The imperial court is full of turmoil, but the Dreaming Palace is warm and prosperous, as if it is far away from intrigue and jealousy, and there are only a lot of long time to dream a peaceful dream of missing the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

The white jade floor in the room is covered with a thick Persian wool blanket, which is slender and white plush, embedded with sparkling gemstones. The four maids in light white shirts all had delicate features and eyes, and stood quietly with their heads down. The breeze from outside lifted a corner of the curtain, just like the fairies above the Nine Heavens Palace.

The woman on the seat was tying her net seriously, Qianqianyu's hands were not painted with a little bit of Kodan, her nails exuded a faint pink luster, and Qianqianyu's fingers fluttered up and down flexibly. Unlike other women in this palace, this woman never seemed to have the slightest aura of aloofness. She bit off a piece of silk thread, revealing a fair and pretty face, with delicate and beautiful features, without any aggressiveness, but with a gentleness like water. It seems that she is not some unattainable noble concubine in the palace, but just a young girl in the boudoir of a certain family in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, clear, sweet, gentle, and graceful.

Jiang Susu's beauty is unparalleled, but there is a trace of deliberate element. This woman is not entirely the case, even in this nine-layered palace, there is a kind of tenderness and grace that is out of place. It is as soft as water carved into the bone.

There was a slight smile on the corner of her lips. If someone passed by at this moment, they would think that the scene in front of her had the same name as this hall, and it was just a romantic dream.

The curtain was lifted heavily, a figure walked in and said with a smile, "Mother Concubine."

Concubine Chen Guifei put down the lanyard in her hand, looked at the person who came, and suddenly smiled: "Why don't you ask someone to notify you."

Ye Li looked at the woman who was close at hand, and his restless heart slowly calmed down. Concubine Chen Guifei has a special magical power, it seems that no matter how complicated things in the world come to her, it is like this dense silk thread, which can always be easily straightened out and turned into colorful webs.

Ye Li said: "Concubine Mu, do you know about the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Concubine Chen Guifei paused slightly, and said, "I know."

The imperial palace is so big, so many palace people go in and out every day, even things that she doesn't want to know will come to her ears. Chen Guifei knew about the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she was not worried about Ye Li, and Ye Li was not depressed because of it. He said: "I would like to ask my concubine mother for a favor."

"What's the matter?" Concubine Chen Gui smiled slightly.

"I beg my concubine to persuade my father to give me a marriage with Miss Jiang's family." Ye Li said.

Concubine Chen Guifei had a gentle and calm expression, but she couldn't help being stunned when she heard his words, she frowned and said, "What?"

"Father and emperor have already begun to doubt my minister regarding the matter of the prime minister's mansion." Ye Li said, "Mother and concubine can't help you with this matter."

Concubine Chen is favored in the palace now. Apart from the relationship between Mrs. Chen and Concubine Chen's gentleness and restraint, the more important thing is that she is smarter than the other three concubines. The matter does not affect the emperor's decision. When the emperor came to the Hall of Dreams, he would always only have a wonderful dream. What the emperor likes is her non-competitive nature. If she presumptuously pleads for Ye Li or expresses a little bit of this kind of meaning, the king has been suspicious since ancient times, and I am afraid that she will never be as unconcerned as before. she.

Concubine Chen knew this, and Ye Li also knew this, so he would not easily ask Concubine Chen for help. He knew that even if the emperor had doubts about him, as long as Concubine Chen continued to favour, the emperor would not truly love him. give him up.

"The Jiang family is involved with the Xia family. Something happened to the prime minister's mansion, and the direction of the court changed. The servants have to stabilize their own power, and they have to show the relationship with the Xia family. If they act rashly, the father will also be suspicious. Mr. Jiang The young lady is not favored by the Jiang family, and by using her name, the emperor can relax his vigilance, but it will not cut off all contact with the Xia family."

Chen Guifei looked at Ye Li quietly: "Your Highness, you have not told the truth to me."

Ye Li's eyes froze, he knew that this concubine mother was always smart, otherwise why would she hold the position of the head of the four concubines so securely in the cannibalistic harem? The emperor knew that she must not have no intentions, but he was still willing to do so Favor her, this is her grasp of people's hearts.

In fact, Concubine Chen Gui also gave him a lot of advice on his way of winning the heir apparent, even the Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince who disappeared quietly in the palace were inseparable from Concubine Chen.

But so what, now those people have already become a handful of flowers under the peony flowers, but Concubine Chen's chair is more stable.

He thought about it: "Miss Jiang's family is not an ordinary person. The sudden collapse of the prime minister's mansion has a lot to do with her. Li An once reminded me that Jiang Ruan's mind is very human. If it is for help, it can be used. My son thinks , since she has a talent beyond the heavens, she may be worthy of use."
