The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

Chapter 214 A Gentle Knife!

Concubine Jiao Xian still remembered the third prince's fourth birthday that year, when the third prince's biological mother, Zhang Jieyu, was in the holy favour.

The emperor ordered the queen to make arrangements, and the palace was celebrated.

Empress Nangong responded, showing no emotion on her face.

Concubine Jiao Xian thought, don't look at Empress Nangong's generosity, who would be happy with such an obvious partiality?

Every year on the prince's birthday, not to mention the grand celebration of the palace, even if the empress wants to set up a few tables of wine in her palace and invite a troupe, someone will write a letter of impeachment.

At this moment, Li Xiurong was the first to jump out to object,

"Your Majesty! Zhang Jieyu has won the Sacred Heart, so I dare not say more. However, the Third Prince is a concubine in the final analysis. In a wealthy family, let alone the premise of having a concubine, even if there is no concubine, he can't be so flamboyant. Don't be afraid that his blessings will be shallow and his life will be shortened!"

Li Xiurong's father was a second-class Jinshi back then, and the chief examiner that year was Empress Nangong's father Nangong Taifu, who was the Minister of Rites back then.

After all, Li Xiurong's father was a disciple of Grand Tutor Nangong.

Later, Li Xiurong's father started as a county magistrate and rose steadily, finally all the way to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and finally to the Crown Prince Shaobao.

Among them, there is Nangong Taifu's guidance and support.

Li Xiurong's entry into the palace was not only an arrangement of the family, but also for the purpose of entering the palace to help Empress Nangong.

Therefore, Li Xiurong is the Queen's best friend, even though he has no children, he has followed the Queen since entering the palace, and his rank at this time is much higher than Concubine Jiao Xian's.

There are many things that the queen is not convenient to say, so she will do it for her.

The queen's son is a legitimate son, and no one can compare.

However, everyone is a concubine, so extravagantly celebrating the third prince's birthday in a high-profile way, is he trying to tell the officials that the third prince can compete with the prince?
For example, Empress Nangong and Li Xiurong have been fascinated by their father and brother's reading and commenting on history since childhood, so naturally they have to think about it. Could it be that Zhang Jieyu is another Mrs. Qi?

"Li Xiurong! Don't lie!"

Concubine Han De interrupted Li Xiurong's dissatisfaction at the right time.

Turning around as if nothing happened, she said to Concubine Shangguan Shu,
"Sister Concubine Shu, how is Tong An doing recently? Why didn't you bring her out?"

Concubine Shangguan Shu, one of the four concubines, has Princess Tong'an, who is less than one year old.

The emperor gave him a name, and after giving some rewards, there is nothing else, and he is in a low mood at the moment.

The same child of the emperor, but because he gave birth to a daughter, he was so disliked.How can we deal with this situation calmly.

Moreover, for Concubine Shangguan Shu to be able to reach this position, her mind can be chaotic, but her mind must be clear.

Empress Nangong called everyone to discuss "birthday celebration" for the third prince, but she didn't call Zhang Jieyu, isn't it too strange?

What Concubine Shangguan Shu understood was that the empress depends on their attitude.

At this time, it's not enough to please both sides!
What's more, the emperor doesn't want to see his daughter, so he has to show his edge, otherwise, life in the palace will be difficult in the future.

Concubine Shangguan Shu sighed, stood up and bowed deeply to the queen,

"The concubine thinks this matter is not in accordance with the etiquette. There are rules for superiority and inferiority. The overall situation of the empress is the most important thing, but the concubine feels that this is a big matter. I hope that the empress dowager and empress dowager will report it before making plans."

The emperor was dazzled by love, but the two old women are still sober!
The queen was right in her arms, and said apologetically when she heard the words,

"Concubine Shu is right. I'm going to pay my respects to Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager. Is Concubine Shu free?"

Of course it is available!

Li Xiurong's rank is too low to go to the queen mother and the concubine to be a sounding board and a drummer!
In Chunhui Palace, the Empress suggested to Concubine Lu,

"The Holy Majesty loves his son very much, but it is easy to be criticized after all. I thought, the birthdays of the third prince and the second prince are only ten days apart. If we celebrate the birthdays of the two princes together, we can have fun together."

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress said to the Empress Dowager,

"In less than two months, Princess Tong'an is already one year old. After all, this is the first princess of the Holy Majesty, why not celebrate the princess together. In this way, it also compensates Concubine Shu for her years of hard work."

Concubine Shangguan Shu had been pregnant twice before due to her health, but she couldn't keep it.Moreover, it is very dangerous to give birth to Princess Tong'an this time. Fortunately, she was rescued by the imperial physician, and it may be difficult to give birth again in the future.

Empress Nangong's words comforted Concubine Shangguan Shu very much.

However, even with the persuasion of the Queen Mother and Concubine Lu, the emperor still said calmly,

"No need!"

Although the third prince's birthday was rushed, the emperor felt guilty and gave the third prince, mother and son many rewards.

More importantly, the status of Zhang Jieyu and the third prince has risen, and many people have tried their best to curry favor.

However, the emperor's words "no need" caused quite a stir in the harem.

Concubine Jiao Xian thought, maybe the emperor thought that the second prince was a man in his teens at that time, and he would be considered an adult soon after his hair was tied up.

And the third prince was at the top of the emperor's heart at that time, so naturally no one can compare.

Originally, because the emperor had few heirs, although the second prince was not as respected as the prince, nor as favored as the third prince, the difference would not be too great.

But since the emperor said "no need", the second prince's life has undergone a sharp change.

First of all, some people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to despise him and his biological mother Chen Meiren.

Later, it is said that there was also a case of tricking slaves and deceiving the master.

Concubine Jiao Xian, who was still Concubine Jiao at that time, didn't pay much attention to the second prince, but even though she herself was not beaten, scolded and bullied after entering the palace, she also saw a lot of supercilious looks.

When the emperor doesn't want to see you, no matter how cautious you are, how kind you are, how cautious you are, you can't avoid humiliation, suppression, attack, abuse, cynicism and even trampling and crushing!

The second prince later married his wife, He, and his side concubine, Zou, who were the top three in the Jiangnan and Beijing rich list respectively.

Is it really just for the sake of having a good time, getting drunk and dreaming?
Chen Zhuoxin told Concubine Jiao Xian that the second prince's Yue family, He's family, originally engaged in the silk and spice business, got involved in water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River!
While the Zou family was in the capital, in just a few years, they opened several new restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses.Is it just for the money?
Also, something went wrong when the fifth prince was assisting Qiu Wei in the Ministry of Rites. The second prince didn't try to force the minister of rites and the minister, but kept his eye on the fifth prince!
Should I pick the soft ones first, practice my skills, and then deal with the third and fourth princes?
In other words, for the elder prince, getting rid of one is one!
In this regard, the Second Prince is very similar to Concubine Jiao Xian.

Concubine Jiao Xian seldom does things like "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight".

Concubine Jiao Xian felt that as long as it was beneficial to herself, it didn't matter even if other people benefited.

Sit and wait, you can only make your opponent stronger and stronger!

Ji Yun asked Wen Shaokang to find two dogs they had raised and trained. One of the conditions was that they were big enough!

These dogs are all trained by Ji Jun with the "dog flute" for many days, and they are very obedient.

Moreover, Ji Jun remembered the connection between the "coach" and the "police dog" in his previous life.

Therefore, during the training, Wen Chuhui and the others were also allowed to participate, and each of them chose one or two dogs for one-on-one or one-on-two communication.

Everyone personally feeds the dogs they choose and takes care of their food and daily life. Over time, the dogs have developed trust and dependence on their owners, and they have more and more tacit understandings with their owners.

Wen Shaokang quickly found a relatively strong onion tube, slowly inserted it into the dog's anus, and poured some laxatives into the stomachs of the two dogs, and then wrapped the anus with silk cloth and stuffed it with dough , to prevent the liquid medicine from flowing out in a short time.

Then, Wen Shaokang brought the two dogs to Meilin and the second prince.

Wen Shaokang's eyes were delicate and innocent, and anyone who looked at them would be filled with tenderness.

Wen Shaokang made a deep bow to the two with a smile on his face,

"This beautiful sister, please calm down! This handsome brother, please calm down too! That's right, our young lady's shop was once poisoned, and Dali Temple has been involved in this matter! Therefore, I am worried about the outsiders. It is more cautious to eat food and be drugged, please be considerate."

Lumei is dissatisfied with authenticity,

"What? You said we would drug you?"

Wen Shaokang was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly,

"Sister, don't be angry, did you buy these foods or did you make them yourself? Oh, there are many shops with packaging and labels, they were bought! You can guarantee that no one is dissatisfied with one or several of these shops, So as to drug them? You said, if someone poisoned us, we recklessly ate what you sent us, and got poisoned! Do you think we will go to you or the shop to make a theory?"

Lvmei said confidently and confidently,

"Of course it's a store! We bought it from a store, but we didn't open it at all, and delivered it directly!"

Wen Chuhui shook his head in disapproval,
"You said that you didn't open it, we don't believe it! If someone with evil intentions puts medicine in this food and blames you, how can you prove your innocence?"

Lumei was momentarily at a loss for words.

Wen Shaokang continued to say in a calm manner,
"Would you like to see this? Please take out some of the food given to us and let our dog taste it. If there is nothing else, then we will be disrespectful. Just accept it first."

Wen Chuhui and Xu Ji saw that Shaokang came out of the room, and knew that it was under Ji Jun's instruction.

Xu Ji also said,

"We are also worried that Miss Hong will be used or framed by others. In the future, Miss Hong will create a estrangement with you in the Hou Mansion, so please forgive me."

Merlin said softly,
"It's okay."

So Meilin ordered Lumei to open the food box and let Wen Shaokang feed the two dogs.

Wen Shaokang, who was feeding the dog, secretly gave Xu Ji a wink, and Xu Ji quickly understood.

How many times has this been rehearsed!
Ji Yun said to Ji Min,

"You can't use force against the second prince, and you can't hurt them at the same time. If you can't let him and Meilin see each other, you have to make their first meeting extremely embarrassing and ruin the scenery!"

Ji Min is worried and authentic,
"What should I do?"

The old god Ji Jun is in the tunnel,

"To deal with the second prince, of course you have to use a gentle knife!"

Just imagine how romantic it would be for a domineering president to meet a beautiful sister in the hotel lobby, music hall, or some conference room, seaside town!
in case……

Eating and eating, Gouzi is a little irritable, but his stomach is actually bloated!
Xu Jidao,
"Oops, dogs probably don't like the smell!"

He walked over and pretended to stroke the dog's head, and then stroked the dog's fur.

Feeling and touching, when people are not paying attention, quietly take out the dough stuffed in the anus.

In an instant!
"Puff puff puff!"

Several streams of liquid sprayed out from the dog's anus, and it sprayed straight towards the second prince and the others!
Because Meilin and Lumei were in front of the dog, they escaped unharmed!
