Donggong Zhangjiao

As an accomplice of Lin Chan's regicide, Qiu Baolin has naturally been thrown into the cold palace and locked up.

Even though she didn't know Lin Chan's true intention, she still took the pill called Meigu even though she knew it was a love potion. This pill was enough to kill her.

But Pei Yao did not convict her of the death penalty. First of all, there were so many things piled up at that time that he had no time to take care of her, so he just locked her up. But now, he has reached other agreements with Lin Chan and almost forgot about Qiu Baolin. This person.

This is why Qiu Yao is still Baolin to this day, because Pei Yao didn't even specifically issue an edict to depose her as a commoner or anything like that.

So when Fang Yun heard Song Concubine mention it, he was not very interested, but he still asked along the way.

"What's the difference? If you enter the cold palace and don't have a good life, you will naturally change."

"If that's the case, why would I come here specifically to talk to you?" Concubine Song put down the tea cup, "I heard people say that Qiu Baolin's face is disfigured. It's not disfigurement, it's because he's getting older. It's because he was arrested. A month later, wrinkles began to appear on Qiu Baolin's face, and he was aging visibly to the naked eye, which was very scary. Now his figure is still the same as before, but his skin is like that of a woman in her seventies or eighties."

Hearing this, Fang Yun was slightly surprised, thought about it, and then said.

"Maybe it was caused by the pill that Lin Chan used to harm the emperor after he asked her to take it?"

"My concubine thinks so too. Where in the world can there be such a good thing, which can make your face glow as soon as you eat it? Sure enough, it all comes at a price. If you stop taking the medicine for a long time, it will backfire."

Concubine Song also felt so.

Fang Yun smiled, "It can be seen that there is no advantage in vain in this world, but speaking of it, the only one named Qiu in the harem now is Lan Liangyuan. I thought that the sisters of the Qiu family could have a fight. , I didn’t expect that this sister would be taken advantage of and dig her own grave first.”

"It's not like the empress doesn't know how difficult it is for a concubine from a lowly family to get ahead in this harem. Lan Liangyuan is a noble girl after all. Although Qiu Baolin has a good appearance, the emperor doesn't like it. It doesn’t work, if she wants to get ahead, she has to rely on others, and naturally it will be easy for her to become someone else’s pawn." Song Concubine said calmly.

Indeed, if Fang Yun had not followed Pei Yao before he ascended the throne, there were few people in the East Palace at that time, and she actively showed her use value, she might not be able to have this position now.

The lower the starting point, the more difficult it is to climb up.

The two talked for a while before Song Concubine left.

At this time, Yan Weicai came in and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to Xu Liangyuan's place for lunch."

"I know." Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and didn't care much, "Many people were selected in the scientific examinations years ago, and many of them entered the Hanlin Academy. Xu Liangyuan's father is in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, so the emperor will naturally go there."

No matter how much Pei Yao dotes on her, he can't keep her alone.

As an emperor, this is simply unrealistic.

That book of stories about two people for a lifetime is just a story to listen to.

It is enough for Fang Yun to be the person who shares the most favors from Pei Yao and obtains the greatest benefits he needs.

As for the emotional value, it cannot be said that he has no friendship with Pei Yao at all. After all, people are not grass and trees, and they can be ruthless. However, Fang Yun loves himself more and puts himself first in everything.

Although Yan Wei didn't understand why Fang Yun wasn't jealous, he didn't ask. He just bowed and went to do his own thing.

But Fang Yun could deal with it calmly, but some people couldn't.

For example, in the Yichun Palace, not to mention Wan Bin's inner affection for Pei Yao, there was no way to tolerate anyone approaching Pei Yao, and Lan Liangyuan was also extremely unhappy.

"Your Majesty goes to see Xu Yingyi more times now than I do." Lan Liangyuan said with a dark face.

Zhaoxia brought tea and comforted her softly.

"Liangyuan, please don't feel bad. Now Xu Liangyuan is on good terms with you, and she has always been the most obedient to you. As long as you ask, Xu Liangyuan will definitely help you. This is a good thing, and now Wanbi is treating you even more unkindly." Okay, you have to find a way to leave Yichun Palace. When Liangyuan first entered the palace, she was afraid of offending the empress who arranged her residence, so she did not take action. Now that it has been so long, she is not afraid of anyone gossiping anymore. "

Listening to Zhaoxia's words, Lan Liangyuan raised her hand and rubbed her temples. “Okay, let’s make some of Xu Liangyuan’s favorite snacks in the afternoon, and I’ll go see her.”

Zhaoxia responded and retreated.

In the next few days, Lan Liangyuan devoted herself to cultivating sisterhood with Xu Liangyuan.

In the past, she was afraid that Qiu Baolin, the beautiful girl from the tribe, was favored. Now Qiu Baolin not only made trouble for her, but also solved a concubine Yan and a Wang Cainv. Lan Liangyuan did not have to be distracted. Now she is only thinking about getting along with Xu Liangyuan. If you have a good relationship and can favor each other, you can get rid of the concubine as soon as possible.

After all, in this palace, Concubine Wan is now the one who tortures her the most.

However, in the past few days, Wanbi was in a very bad mood.

Lan Liangyuan sent a letter to his family earlier. As the immediate boss of Wanbi's brother, his father naturally wanted to stand up for his daughter.

She also hopes that her daughter can climb to the position of favorite concubine in the palace as soon as possible and support the family, right?

So these days, Hu Daixu has been scolded a lot for no reason, and he cannot carry out his official duties well.

He was not stupid, and after a little inquiry, he guessed why he was treated like this, and he was also annoyed, so he sent a message to the palace and informed Concubine Wan of the matter, asking Concubine Wan to be merciful and tolerant, and not to take it too personally. Lan Liangyuan.

Wanbi naturally nodded for her brother's future, but she also felt even more angry.

But she couldn't help it. Now she was raising the sixth princess, and she also relied on the sixth princess to get into the concubine position, but she was still not favored and could not provide any help to her brother.

Otherwise, it would be much easier to transfer his brother and get rid of the oppression of Lan Liangyuan's father.

But since we can't do it now, we can only endure it for the time being.

And Lan Liangyuan also saw Wanbi's restraint, so during this period of time, she joined forces with Xu Liangyuan to compete for favor.

If you want to say who earned this favor, it is naturally Fang Yun.

In this palace these days, apart from excluding the queen, Pei Yao is here with Xu Liangyuan, and the rest is here with Xu Liangyuan. Lan Liangyuan can only take a turn to sleep with her once a month, so it can only be said that she is not completely out of favor.

Fang Yun knew that this year, Pei Yao made up his mind to manage Daqi's internal politics.

Not only did he have full control over the personnel in the court, but also law, taxation, commerce, agriculture, etc. He wanted to quickly enrich Da Qi's treasury to support the future Northern Expedition to Shangyang Kingdom.

If you want to have a strong army and strong horses, you must forge sophisticated weapons and have enough food and grass to supply the army, all of which cost money.

The Hanlin Academy is a place for reserving and cultivating talents. While Pei Yao reused Xu Hanlin, he naturally couldn't forget to take good care of the daughter who was sent to the harem.

No matter how well Xu Liangyuan is fed and clothed in the palace, what outsiders can see and prove that she is doing well is her promotion and favor, so Pei Yao has to show it to the Xu family.

Knowing these things, Fang Yun would naturally not do anything to treat Xu Liangyuan as an enemy and suppress her.

Doing that would go against Pei Yao's thoughts. If he had the time, it would be better to show great consideration and understanding and capture the emperor's heart.

One is someone he has to pamper, and the other is someone he really likes and understands his last resort. Such a comparison makes Pei Yao feel even more guilty. He only feels that Fang Yun has to endure hardships for him.

Therefore, even if it was needed by the court, Xu Liangyuan would never be as favored as Fang Yun.

However, Fang Yun could sit still, but some people couldn't. (End of chapter)
