Chapter 323

It was late at night, and the lights of the Jinling Imperial Palace were decreasing. Some palaces and buildings began to turn off the lights. Only the corridors, corridors, and watchtowers and turrets hung high with lanterns that never went out.

Qixiang Hall is the bedroom of Concubine Wei.

The Southern Tang was a small country, so it was impossible for the concubines in the Southern Tang harem to make up the huge number of four concubines, nine concubines, 27 concubines, and 81 concubines as in the real Tang Dynasty.

In Li Yu's harem, only Empress Zhou dotes on the harem alone. There are two concubines, one is Xianfei Jiang Yingxue, the other is Shufei Wei Huan, and there are two vacancies for noble concubine and concubine De.

But Huang Baoyi and Liuzhu are among the nine concubines, and Qiao Shi, Qiushui, and Yiai are just talented people and royal daughters, and they are not high in the rank of the harem.

Speaking of Concubine Wei Shu also has a lot of background, because she is the granddaughter of Wei Cen, Minister of Justice, and Wei Cen was very favored in Li Jing's dynasty. When Li Jing was still the prince, he was the prince of the East Palace to wash horses.After Li Jing ascended the throne, Wei Cen served in three of the six ministries and appointed his old cronies. Together with Chen Jue, Feng Yanji, Feng Yanlu, and Cha Wenhui, they were combined into the Five Ghosts of the Southern Tang Dynasty by the people of the Tang Dynasty. Lean for a while.

It was only after the loss of the thirteen prefectures in Jiangbei that Li Jing came to his senses and realized that the people of the Song Party had great ambitions and talents. They conquered Chu and Minyue twice, exhausting the soldiers and depleting the national treasury. Since then, the imperial court has been in a slump.

Therefore, in the later period of Li Jing's administration, he began to alienate the Song Party. These five ghosts suddenly fell out of favor, some died of illness, and some were reprimanded. The interests of many Jiangbei officials are not conducive to the balance of the various forces in the court, so Li Jing finally left a group of people from the Song Party who have not been cleaned up.

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he continued to use the people of the Song Party, but he also didn't want the people of the Sun Party to be dominant and difficult to control.

Concubine Wei Shu is 25 years old this year, and her appearance is quite pretty, but compared with Zhou Ehuang, she is still much inferior. Therefore, before the queen was healthy, Li Yu seldom visited Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian. Sleep in the hall.

"How's the news going?" Concubine Wei asked her close maid, confidant palace maid Luzhen.

The maid Luzhen said: "Hui Concubine Shu, Su Chen seems to have found out that someone poisoned the prince, and followed the clues, and found the eunuch Xiao Guizi, but Xiao Guizi has been silenced, and there is no proof for the time being."

Concubine Wei frowned, with a hint of apprehension on her face, and said in a cold tone: "The kid surnamed Su is really capable, and he was able to find out this step."

Lu Zhen asked worriedly: "Ms. Concubine Shu, the government has summoned the three divisions to interrogate the matter thoroughly, so what shall we do next?"

Concubine Wei played with Yu Ruyi in her hand, and said with a cold smile: "Do nothing, just wait and see what happens, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, that's all."

"Oh, good!" Luzhen nodded slightly, and said no more.

.........

Southern Tang Palace, Shuyu Palace.

Princess Yongning Li Zixuan is wearing a lavender skirt with lotus-colored narrow sleeves and a slender figure. She is already slim at the age of 16, and she is ready to marry in the pavilion at any time, ready to recruit a son-in-law.

Empress Dowager Zhong loved Yongning very much. Although she was not born by herself, the mother concubine Yongning died early, and she was raised by Empress Zhong for ten years since she was six years old, so her affection is also deep.

A few days ago, Empress Dowager Zhong was still joking with her, saying that Yongning was not too young and had reached the marriageable age, and planned to find a suitable champion or second place for her from next year's Jinshi and No. [-], Tanhua, etc. Recruited as a son-in-law.

Yong Ning was shy and reluctant, but in his heart he was eagerly looking forward to what his future husband-in-law would be like?

In the past, she thought that her husband-in-law was a capable man with all-round talents in civil and military affairs. No girl would want the man she married to be a wimp, but the specific appearance was all out of imagination.

However, since I read Su Chen's poems two months ago, and saw his legendary historical novels, as well as "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Story of the West Chamber" and other story books, I was completely attracted by the talent of Jiangzuo Sulang, whom I had never met before. Moved, even in the palace, I am looking forward to meeting each other one day.

Unexpectedly, the first meeting came so suddenly, Su Chen entered the palace to treat the empress and the prince, there were turmoil, every step of the way was against him, but Su Chen resolved them one by one, calm and wise in the face of danger, Yong Ning The princess felt that after getting along with him himself, she had renewed admiration.

Famous is not as good as meeting, Jiangzuo Sulang, worthy of the name.

Princess Yongjia came over and saw Yongning sitting at the table, propping her chin with one hand, with a strange expression on her face, as if she was laughing shyly.

"Sister Huang, what are you thinking, so preoccupied?"

Yongning came back to his senses and saw little Yongjia walking into her bedroom, he was a little surprised and said: "Yongjia, it's so late, why are you here?"

Yongjia came over, sat down at the table, and said nervously, "I saw the hanged eunuch this afternoon. In the bedroom, I slept alone. I closed my eyes and felt a little scared. I couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning. So, tonight Come and sleep with Miss Huang."

After Yongning heard the words, he stretched out his hand to caress Yongjia's blue hair, and said with a smile, "Okay, just stay with me, and have a companion."

"Hee hee, we haven't slept together for a long time!" Yong Jia laughed and sighed again: "Too many things have happened in the past two days, all related to this Su Chen, and I don't know if he can cure Queen Zhou and Xiao Zhongxuan !"

Yong Ning said firmly: "Yes, he is very powerful!"

"Is Huangjie so confident in him?" Yongjia was a little puzzled.

Yong Ning's eyes sparkled, and he said with great interest: "Poetry, medical skills, investigation of things, everything is proficient, isn't such a person amazing? It can no longer be described as a genius, he is simply a monster. You have seen the champions of the past. He is so versatile that he can't even write poems, let alone medical skills and knowledge of things."

"Oh, it's true!" Yong Jia seemed to be moved by the words of Huang Jie, and after thinking about it, he also recognized Jiang Zuo Su Lang.

The more Princess Yongning talked, the stronger the desire to see each other in her heart, she suddenly suggested: "He is currently in Zhongxuan's bedroom, staying up all night to guard, I heard that he was ambushed and killed on the way two days ago, and his body is already injured. The injury is treating Zhongxuan and the Empress, working day and night, it is really precious, how about... let's bring some cakes, go to reward him, and see if Zhongxuan's illness has flared up by the way?"

"Ah, send some pastries?" Yongjia pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, go over and have a look, and supervise what Su Chen is doing, whether he's being lazy."

Princess Yongning rolled her eyes at her sister, in her mind, Su Chen was not such a lazy person.

The sisters and princesses were very decisive, and they did what they said, and ordered the maid to prepare some high-quality pastries, and they were about to go to the second prince's bedroom.
