Donggong Zhangjiao

Hu Liangdi turned away, a little surprised by Concubine Yang's invitation.

But the other party has a high status, so she talked about this again. As a newcomer, she doesn't show face, isn't she blatantly hostile to others.

Then he nodded.

"It's a concubine's honor to be invited by the side concubine."

"Sister is really polite." Concubine Yang smiled, "We are all sisters, so my sister can call me elder sister. Calling me concubine seems natural."

Xie Shuren listened and nodded immediately.

"That's right, sister Yang's tea is delicious, and the dim sum is also excellent. Miss Yunqian is very skilled in cooking!"

After being mentioned, Yun Qian, who followed behind the two, also nodded with a smile.

When Hu Liangdi saw it, her eyes moved, she didn't say anything, she just smiled with her lips drawn together.

Not long after, the four of them went to Weiyang Pavilion together.

Concubine Yang arranged for the two to sit outside, and went to see the third son before returning.

The maids had already brought the refreshments, and after sitting down, they began to talk over the tea.

"I heard that my sister is good at horseback riding and archery. This time, I am envious of her heroic appearance when she goes hunting with His Highness this time," said Concubine Yang.

Hu Liangdi smiled, "The side concubine was born in Nanning Houfu, and she is also a general. This concubine's little skill is nothing in front of the side concubine."

Hearing her polite reply, the smile on Concubine Yang's lips paused for a moment, and then enlarged.

"My sister is flattering me. I was lazy when I was young. I only learned a little boxing and embroidered legs. It counts as physical fitness. I haven't practiced for many years, and I have long forgotten. I can ride horses, but not archery. After all, my sister is a tiger girl. "

"The concubine can only know these crude things. Unlike you, the side concubine, Wu Neng can discuss the art of war with His Highness, Wen can compose poems and songs, and can also take care of the affairs of the rear house for His Highness and the Crown Princess. After losing the third son, the concubine is really envious of the side concubine."

Hu Liangdi went back with another rainbow fart.

But the more polite she was, the more Concubine Yang knew that this meant alienation, so she stopped talking nonsense.

Instead, she said directly, "My sister is also a lady of the family, so it may not be impossible for me to do such a thing. In all honesty, I always thought that this other side concubine should belong to you, my sister."

"Yes, Hu Liangdi, you have a good background. Your elder brother is an official in the court and holds an important position. He has served His Highness a lot. Once you enter the palace, His Highness will value you. If you take time"

Yun Qian hesitated to speak beside her.

Xie Shuren, who had just taken a sip while holding the teacup, took up the conversation now.

"In time, sister Hu will definitely be the side concubine. If side concubine Fang hadn't become pregnant and happened to accompany His Royal Highness on an adventure, the Fang family has now become criminals. With such a natal family around, how could she be qualified?" Side concubine, even if you look at it now, she shouldn't be promoted even if her merits and demerits are balanced."

When she said this, Xie Shuren looked sincere, as if she was discussing the matter.

Hu Liangdi couldn't help but look at her more.

For nothing else, because she sounded like she was telling the truth.

But immediately Hu Liangdi withdrew her gaze, sighed lightly and said.

"I have only been in the palace for a short time and my qualifications are low. This kind of thing can also be said to be a matter of luck. Presumably I don't have that kind of luck. Concubine Fang Fang is pregnant now, and she is the celebrity in front of His Highness. Don't say these words. Moreover."

With this tone and appearance, it seems that he is depressed, but he has no choice but to accept the reality.

Concubine Yang glanced at her and nodded slightly.

"Yeah, she is favored now, and there is no one in the palace who will not let her go. Now that she has been promoted to the side concubine, when His Highness ascends the throne in the future, when he enters the harem, his status will not be low. It is really a step forward. , every step of the way in the future.”

Hu Liangdi only smiled wryly after hearing this.

He picked up the teacup and drank it, but didn't pick it up again.

Seeing this, Concubine Yang didn't say much, and greeted everyone to have some snacks.

After sitting in Weiyang Pavilion for more than half an hour, Hu Liangdi left.

Xie Shuren said happily after coming out with her.

"Side Concubine Yang is really a good person. Since entering the palace, she has treated me the best. She is like a real sister. She takes care of me for food and clothing. Sister Hu will come more in the future. Although Concubine Fang also looks at me She is gentle and gentle, but she always feels alienated, she doesn't seem to like getting close to people, and I don't know how Sister Song got close to her."

Hu Liangdi frowned slightly after listening to her words.

Pursing his lips, he still whispered.

"You're living with Song Shuren now, you'd better have a better relationship with her, Concubine Yang, after all, it's another courtyard."

"Don't worry, I know who treats me well, but it's you, Sister Hu, who was chosen by us to enter the palace together, and I sincerely persuade you." Xie Shuren's eyes were full of sincerity.

Hu Liangdi smiled, nodded and said nothing more.

The two soon separated at a fork in the road.

On the other side, Bi Luozhai.

Fang Yun was feeding the little fox with chicken with chopsticks, and Song Shuren was playing with the second girl on the soft bed next to him, and the two chatted casually.

Yan Wei quickly walked in from the outside, then said in a low voice.

"Side concubine, Hu Liangdi and Xie Shuren came out of the Weiyang Pavilion, and now they each went back to the courtyard, seeing Xie Shuren very happy, but Hu Liangdi's face is calm."

"Mr. Xie is a child at heart. Concubine Yang always takes care of her in terms of food and clothing. Now she treats her like a real sister with all her heart. I have reminded her many times euphemistically, but she doesn't seem to understand, so I am too lazy said."

Song Shuren's tone was a little helpless.

They are all people who have to live carefully. It is good to remind them with heart, but if you don't listen, there is nothing you can do.

Fang Yun hooked the corners of his lips.

"Mr. Yang is very good at buying people's hearts. It's not like you and I haven't seen it before. Mr. Xie is innocent when he says it sounds good, but he can't tell when it sounds bad."

"That's not true." Yan pursed his lips slightly, "But this servant is more worried that Weiyang Pavilion will be instigating Hu Liangdi."

One more enemy means more danger.

Qing Rong also nodded, "The side concubine is double now, she should be more careful, lest Hu Liangdi will be provoked into something bad and someone will take advantage of her."

"We can't control other people's thoughts, so we can only be more careful." Fang Yun handed her the chopsticks and wiped his hands, "Compared to this, I am surprised. Today He Liangdi was taught by His Highness, and her mother's family What did you do?"

Probably due to the recent influence of Pei Yao, Xia Yun is now more concerned about the affairs of the government.

Yuan He immediately stood up and said, "My servant just went to inquire, and said that it seems that someone bribed, followed He Liangdi's father's path, trying to curry favor with His Royal Highness, and some people said that His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, and He Liangdi's father will definitely not be just a soldier. The servant should be able to be promoted to a minister, so there are still people who want to be a certain official position."

Hearing this, Fang Yun laughed.

"Isn't this looking for death? When is it now, I dare to do this, because I want to wait for His Highness to wipe out these moths in one fell swoop before he ascends the throne."

"So Your Highness is angry today." Yuan He nodded, "I heard that the person who gave the bribe has already been dealt with, and Mr. He who took the bribe is probably worried now."

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, "Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, I don't have a family."

When she said this, everyone tacitly kept silent.

After all, Fang Hongshen is still in the big prison. He has already been sentenced to death, and the date of execution has not yet been set.

Fang Yun was concerned about the outside affairs, but Hu Liangdi was talking about Fang Yun.

Bearing back his mind full of worries, he returned to his residence, shunned the others, and then spoke to his close maid, Yue Tao.

"Look, now they want to use me as a weapon, they really think highly of me."
