The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 149 Kun'an's Conspiracy
That night, the emperor and empress held a family banquet, and all the concubines, princes, and princesses attended together. As the orphan adopted by the emperor and the empress' niece, county magistrate Yan Siyun formally integrated into the big royal family.

Fu Xuechen had nothing to do with it, but because of the special reason that he was ordered to live in Huanyuzhai to accompany and teach the county magistrate, he was allowed by the queen to sit with Yan Siyun at the palace banquet.

Fortunately, the focus of the palace banquet was basically on Yan Siyun, and her seat happened to be right next to Princess Zhiling's. Fu Xuechen was able to chat with Princess Zhiling occasionally, which relieved a little of the embarrassing feeling of being an outsider.

At the palace banquet, Emperor Yuan'an took advantage of the situation and announced his decision to tour the south in five days, ordering King Qin to supervise the country, the third prince Yunzhi to assist, the queen, concubine De, concubine Yi, concubine Yue, four princes, five princes, seven princes, etc. The prince, princess Zhiling, and Yan Siyun accompanied her, Fu Xuechen had no choice, she had to follow Yan Siyun wherever she went.

Fu Xuechen counted the days, and found that the emperor's southern tour would take two months at the earliest, and when the big guy returned to the capital after the southern tour, her three-month mission to accompany Yan Siyun would almost be over. This is simply a public funded tour. !As long as Yan Siyun does nothing, the burden on her will be extremely light.

But Yan Siyun looks delicate and naive, but has a good sense of proportion, much better than Little Swallow. It seems that he can't do such absurd things as snatching hydrangea, forcing marriage, or taking in a little orphan girl who sells her body to bury her father. After all the calculations, this trip became more and more worth looking forward to, and Fu Xuechen couldn't help feeling a little longing for the trip.

"What does this Yan Siyun mean?" Princess Zhiling suddenly whispered in Fu Xuechen's ear, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

Fu Xuechen came back to realize that Yan Siyun, who was toasting the elders and princes along the table, seemed to be drinking a little too much. She happened to be in front of the fourth prince Yunzhen, and smiled at him, With a red glow on her face, water dripping from her eyes, she yelled "Cousin is drinking", it was so ecstatic!
There seemed to be a hint of worry in Yunzhen's expression, and there was no nonsense, and he drank the wine in the glass with Yan Siyun straightforwardly, Yan Siyun smiled happily, and praised: "You are still a bold cousin! I like the straightforwardness of my cousin !"

After paying homage to the fourth prince, the next one is the fifth prince. Yan Siyun took the wine that the maid had refilled for her, just walked up to Yun Qi, and before he could speak, Yun Qi looked concerned and opened his mouth first: "Si Yun, If you drink too much of this wine, you will get drunk easily, please take care, I will drink this glass first! You can do whatever you want." After finishing speaking, he directly drank the wine in front of him.

Yan Siyun smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you, Your Highness Fifth!" Sure enough, he was obedient and only took a sip of his wine.

Both the Seventh Prince and Princess Zhiling were under sixteen and were not allowed to drink, so Yan Siyun skipped them and returned to their seats, clinked the rest of the wine with Fu Xuechen, finished all the toasts, and ended the round of toasting .

Princess Zhiling hummed lightly, she always felt that Yan Siyun was not a good person, but seeing that many elders were present at the palace banquet, she refrained from finding fault with the other party, and stayed quietly until the palace banquet Finish.

Yan Siyun's drinking capacity seems to be very light, on the way back to Huanyuzhai, her footsteps were trembling, if it wasn't for the support of the little maid, others would worry that she would fall to the ground.

Fu Xuechen frowned secretly in her heart. She discovered that Yan Siyun was very close to the fourth prince Yunzhen at the palace banquet. It was not only the kind of closeness that a younger sister had with a cousin, but also mixed with the affection and admiration of many women for the opposite sex. But what is a little puzzling is that Yan Siyun and the fifth prince were obviously more congenial when they were in the beast garden in the morning.

And what happened to the fifth prince?Could it be that such a prince who has always had eyes above his head really fell in love with Yan Siyun at first sight?Concubine De was also present at the palace banquet, and the Fifth Prince was able to make no secret of his affection for Yan Siyun.

Fu Xuechen shook her head, and stopped thinking about it if she couldn't figure it out, and it had nothing to do with her.

……

In the palace of Yihe, Concubine De, accompanied by Yunqi, had just returned to the palace to take her seat, when the maids brought wine and tea.

Concubine De didn't drink much, but it's a pity that she can drink only one cup, and she would get a headache after drinking a few more sips. After drinking a whole cup of anti-alcohol tea, she was able to recover, rubbed her temples and asked with a headache: "That county magistrate Yan Siyun What's the matter? Didn't you say that she is not difficult to please, and it is easy for her to like you? "

Yun Qi thought for a while and said: "Fourth brother is her cousin after all, and the empress is also present. It's not surprising that Si Yun wants to express her closeness to them, it's just that some of them use too much force!"

"I hope! I'm afraid that the empress would be happy for her to get closer with the fourth son. It just so happens that the fourth son still lacks a side concubine." Concubine De's lips twitched, and said: "Your only advantage is probably that the concubine is still a concubine." It's gone!"

"In the future, look for opportunities to get closer to Yan Siyun, and then tell her a little bit about the differences in the status of the main concubine and side concubine. I believe she will understand how to choose."

"I know!" Yun Qi smiled, and did not object to the plan to leave the position of concubine to Yan Siyun.

Speaking of which, Yan Siyun is not ugly, on the contrary, she looks gorgeous!But she still has a cute and naive personality, and her words and deeds are generous and refreshing, which is better than many traditional Chinese women who are gentle and elegant. Compared with Fu Xuechen who looks very smart and respectable, she is still a straight-hearted woman like Yan Siyun. rest assured.

Concubine De saw her son's attitude and nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good that you can accept such a woman as your concubine! That's the girl your father loves, and having her as your concubine It is more important than anything else to be able to say good things for you in front of your father naturally."

"Save it, son!" Yun Qi agreed.

Concubine De said again: "Girls are most afraid of being treated with sincerity, so don't play fake feelings and treat people like fools, you might as well treat her more sincerely, exchange sincerity for sincerity, sooner or later it will impress people."

Yun Qi nodded again and again: "My son has been taught!"

……

At the same moment, the atmosphere in Kun'an Palace was completely opposite.

After sending away Yunzhen and retreating all the maids in the palace, the empress's dignified and calm face suddenly broke down, and she knocked the sober tea in her hand heavily on the small table beside her, almost breaking the cup.

Mother Su was taken aback by her sudden movement, and quickly comforted her: "Mother! Calm down!"

"You have seen the palace banquet today!" The queen suppressed her anger: "What is Yan Siyun trying to do? What is she trying to do to Yunzhen? That look, that demeanor! If it wasn't for the public, she would pretend to be drunk and pass out in front of Yunzhen." Are you in Zhen's arms?"

"Mother, don't worry!" Mother Su said slowly, "Didn't you hear Yan Siyun call His Highness 'cousin'? After all, Qiang women are not as reserved and courteous as Han women in the Central Plains. Her attitude may not seem to her. No other meaning?"

"I'm not blind!" The queen snorted coldly, "Then Nizi is seducing Yunzhen so brightly!"

Su Momo hesitated and said, "It's just a side concubine..."

Before she could finish speaking, the empress immediately denied it: "This is absolutely impossible! Even concubines are not allowed!"

Su Momo said again: "Your Majesty, even if she really has that kind of thought, it's just wishful thinking! Your Highness's temperament slaves know that they won't fall in love with her kind of person!"

The queen sighed: "Mother, you think it's easy! With His Majesty's love for that girl, do you think she needs Yunzhen and also likes her? It is enough for her to like Yunzhen! Maybe she will be impulsive and run away at any time. Asking His Majesty for a marriage... Do you think His Majesty will refuse? It's just the position of side concubine, and it's more intimate, can this palace resist the order?"

Su Momo's expression became serious, and she also felt troublesome. Thinking back to the bits and pieces she saw at the palace banquet, she said: "Your maidservant, it seems that the Fifth Prince is particularly protective of County Lord Yan Siyun. Maybe you can consider pairing the two of them?"

The queen still shook her head: "Concubine De is not a worry-free person. If the fifth child is allowed to marry that girl, with His Majesty's love for that girl, there may be many things in the future. I must never let that girl marry her." Old five!"

Mother Su was in a dilemma: "Then why don't we give His Highness the position of side concubine first? Presumably His Majesty will also consider that the position of His Highness's side concubine has already been appointed, and he is not willing to let the county magistrate be wronged by His Highness." A concubine, right?"

"That's a way, but..." the queen frowned and said, "Even if Duke Li agrees to their conditions, only Chen Zijin will be appointed as the concubine of Yunzhen. In this haste, the other has to be decided. who?"

Su Momo said in a deep voice: "Mother, a few days ago, His Majesty just praised a person, saying that she is 'the beauty of Zhong Lingyu, the talent of Fengyi world'! This servant feels that to be so appreciated by His Majesty is better than others ah!"

The queen's brows stretched out: "You mean Fu Xuechen, the daughter of Lord Jingguo? That's right! This Duke Jingguo was only a prince before, but I have been negligent! Now he has been promoted to a noble due to meritorious service, and has become the new Duke of the Jin Dynasty. Then his prostitute is finally qualified to compete for the position of Yunzhen's side concubine!"

The more the queen thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible, and she was very happy: "That's right! He is a good candidate! The previous Duke Yasukuni won the trust of His Majesty. Although the current Duke Yasukuni is mediocre, fortunately, His Majesty still has more trust in him." , and has just made great achievements, but he is the new Duke of Jin who holds real power, if he can get his help, Yunzhen will be stable!"

On the contrary, Madam Su frowned and said: "But ma'am, the Fu family is also a family of martial arts, and they have always been neutral. Even if they don't support the second prince, they will not easily support us. The Duke of Li is a precedent. Winning them over as a prince and side concubine is quite difficult!"

The queen thought for a while: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to try it first, and listen to what conditions the other party offers."

Madam Su suddenly said, "It's difficult for His Highness to get in touch with the Duke of Liguo, but it's different for the Duke of Jingguo. She happens to be on the same tour as His Majesty's southern tour, and His Highness can visit Yan Siyun County in the name of brother and sister at any time." Lord, if His Highness can win the favor of the other party first... Wouldn't things be much easier with Duke Yasukuni's love for daughters?"

"You want Yunzhen to win over that little girl's affection?" The queen pondered for a moment, shaking her head endlessly: "The method is a good one! But do you think, according to Yunzhen's temperament, he will do so obediently?"

Su Momo tried hard to find a way, and managed to come up with an idea: "Your Majesty, Your Highness doesn't bother to plot against others, so don't ask His Highness to do it right away. Your Majesty can find a chance and tell His Highness without any trace that it has been decided. When he comes back from the southern tour, he will ask Uncle Guo to go to the Jingguo House to propose marriage, and make Ms. Fu the side concubine of His Highness."

The queen wondered: "What's the use of doing this?"

"Your Majesty, you have always been one-sided. Your Highness knows that, so before, your Majesty chose the little granddaughter from Qige's hometown as the main concubine, and Chen Zijin from the Duke of Li's family as the side concubine. Your Highness has no objection."

The queen sneered: "It's not that he has no objection, but he knows that he can't be the master of the marriage, so he can only listen to the arrangement of my palace, and simply don't resist! I don't know how to slander my palace!"

Su Momo followed with a slight smile and said: "Anyway, Madam, as long as you tell Your Highness that his last side concubine is the girl Xuechen from the Fu family, then in His Highness's heart, the girl from the Fu family will definitely be his future side concubine." After all, Niang Niang, you never lie, whoever decides is whoever you decide, and you never miss, don't you?"

"Huh?" The queen became interested: "Go on!"

Su Nanny's thoughts became more and more smooth: "Your Majesty, you think, this trip to the south will take at least two months, and in the eyes of His Highness, Miss Fu is his future side concubine. How do you think His Highness will feel? He Can you not care about Ms. Fu? Can you not protect her? Even if His Highness doesn't say anything, Ms. Fu is such a smart person, can't she feel it? Can't she not have a good impression of His Highness? When the time comes..."

The queen couldn't help laughing: "Nurse, sure enough, Jiang is old and hot, but you are still so clever, you can completely figure out people's hearts! It's really a good way! I know how to do it!"

"Well, then this palace still has to continue to show concern for Yan Siyun, so that Yunzhen can get along with her more in the name of a cousin, and encourage their cousins ​​to go out together. The chance to get in touch with the girl from home can also create a little trouble for them and enhance their relationship."

The queen imagined the situation at that time, and smiled: "With Yunzhen's temperament, knowing that his concubine position has been determined, it is useless no matter how much Yan Siyun admires him, he will definitely refuse, even if Yan Siyun's little It's useless for Nizi to go and beg His Majesty in a fit of anger, no matter how much His Majesty spoils her, he will first ask Yun Zhen about his wishes."

"If there is a concubine beside Yunzhen, maybe Yunzhen will follow His Majesty's decision, but if he has already identified the girl from the Fu family, he will not wrong Yan Siyun, and he will definitely reject His Majesty... No matter who he is How should I put it, that little girl is doomed to fail in the marriage!"

Su Momo smiled and said: "In this way, the empress only needs to prevent the county magistrate from switching to His Highness the Fifth Prince!"

The queen nodded: "How things will develop, let's wait and see! If that little girl tries to pester Yunzhen as we expected, let's ignore her for now, if that little girl has the intention to turn to the fifth child..."

After a pause, the queen's lips showed a trace of ruthlessness: "Forget it! Whatever she does, she will stay there this time on the southern tour! Don't ever think about coming back!"
