Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 216 Who doesn't want to climb up?

Back at the Princess Mansion, Bai Ping immediately went forward to take over Shen Ninghua's cloak, saw the smile on her face, and asked curiously: "Princess, but what fun happened in the palace?"

Shen Ninghua's eyes were green, and her smile deepened when she heard the words: "The empress wants to use the princess's dowry as an argument, but it's a pity that she won't be able to steal the chicken in the end. It is estimated that Xiao Qi will be firmly seated as the head of the House of Internal Affairs. gone."

"Then congratulate the son-in-law." Xiao Qi is Chu Junyi's manpower, and he controls the Department of Internal Affairs, which is also extremely beneficial to the princess.

Shen Ninghua nodded, turned to look at the door, and saw Chu Junyi striding in.

"Ninghua, you're back, are you okay?"

Thinking of the expression of these people when she entered the palace recently, Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed in her heart: "What can be the matter, Xiao Qi's matter is your order?"

Chu Junyi smiled: "The establishment of the Xiao family also cut off the influence of the Queen's Department of Internal Affairs. How could she be reconciled? Naturally, she wanted to grab the braids of the Department of Internal Affairs, but she did not expect that I told Xiao Qi earlier. , everything has been taken over smoothly, how can we let her succeed so easily?"

There was a smile in Shen Ninghua's eyes: "You have prepared well. This time the queen stumbled, it shouldn't be so easy to let it go. I am afraid that the wedding of the two princesses, An Ning and An Qing, will not be peaceful."

"Well, we still have to make preparations in advance. After all, there have been a lot of things recently. The emperor has also paid more attention to the two princesses, Baili Anning and Baili Anqing. If something happened to their wedding, the emperor might be furious. "

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes: "The empress is quite hostile to us now, and she looks like a thorn in her side. I don't know if she will plot against us at the wedding of the two princesses." If they ruin An Ning and Princess An Qing Not to mention Baili Qingcang's wedding, they themselves felt quite sorry for it, after all, a wedding is a major event in a woman's life.

Chu Junyi also frowned: "Although we have special identities, we are only going to watch the ceremony. There should be nothing wrong. I will ask people to pay more attention to it in the past few days. Don't relax your vigilance. No matter where you go, you can take it with you. Qingque must take it with her."

"Yes, I know."

In the Ningkun Palace, Fangxue carefully helped the queen wipe the wound on her palm, her eyes were full of worry: "Your Majesty, even if you are angry, you can't torture your body like this, it will take a few days for the wound to heal." .”

Zhao Huiying's face was cold, her brows were locked into a knot: "The emperor actually beat me by saying something today."

Fangxue paused in her hands, and accidentally poured out more of the medicine powder in her hand, causing Zhao Huiying to take a sharp breath of cold air in pain.

"hiss……"

"Ah, ma'am, forgive me!" Fang Xue knelt down with a plop, and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize.

Zhao Huiying took a breath, looked down at the wound on her palm, frowned and said, "Get up, you are an old man by Bengong's side, can Bengong punish you for such a trivial matter?"

"Your Majesty is magnanimous, and she has always treated her servants very well." Fang Xue didn't get up, and knelt on the ground directly, and continued to help Zhao Huiying clean up the wound on her hand, being extra careful.

"Fangxue, go and tell elder brother to leave the affairs of the Department of Internal Affairs alone for the time being."

"Yes, ma'am, but after all, the Department of Internal Affairs is in charge of many things in the harem. If you can't fully control it, you may have long nights and dreams."

"Why doesn't I know?" Zhao Huiying snorted coldly, "It's just that Xiao Qi is a member of the Xiao family, even if I am the queen, I can't touch him easily, unless he has made a huge mistake."

There was a report from the palace maid at the door: "Your Majesty, Princess Anqing is asking to see you."

"She's here?" A smile flashed in Zhao Huiying's eyes, and she waved her hand to ask Fangxue to pack up the medicine bottles and said, "Let her in."

Baili Anqing is wearing a light pink Suzhou embroidered skirt, the decoration on her head is extremely simple, with a faint smile on her face, it looks like a winter jasmine, although it can't be regarded as warm, but it is also quite delicate, elegant and full of vitality : "The son has seen the queen mother."

"Get up, why are you here?"

Baili Anqing raised his eyes and straightened his expression, then knelt down suddenly, and his knees fell heavily on the ground, making a muffled sound, which shows how solid the etiquette is: "I thank my mother for her kindness in protecting me today."

A satisfied smile appeared in Zhao Huiying's eyes: "Fangxue, why don't you help the princess up?"

Fang Xue hurried forward: "Princess, get up quickly."

Baili Anqing got up, with tears in his eyes, and quickly wiped it with a handkerchief: "The empress, the son and minister's biological mother came from a humble background, so I didn't dare to ask for the love of my father and empress. I wanted to marry an honest man to live a stable life. There will be fewer such things, but I didn't expect that the queen mother would still remember Erchen in her heart, and Erchen is very grateful."

Zhao Huiying signaled to Fangxue who was beside her, and the latter hurriedly brought the embroidered stool over and asked Baili Anqing to sit down.

After she sat still, Zhao Huiying smiled and said: "You girl, don't belittle yourself. Although your biological mother is only a noble person now, she may be promoted in the future. I am the empress, the aunt of all the princes and princesses. Naturally, I want to protect you."

Baili Anqing had a moved expression on his face: "Thank you, Empress, it's because I thought about it before."

Zhao Huiying turned her head, and Fangxue had already brought over a complete set of ruby ​​hair: "I said I would give it to you today, but I thought I'd send someone to deliver it to you, but you just came over, so just take it away."

As she spoke, she took a glazed hairpin inlaid with rubies, and carefully inserted it on her head: "Look, only you who are like flowers are worthy of such gorgeous jewelry."

Baili Anqing hurriedly knelt down: "My son, thank you, Queen Mother."

Seeing her movements, Zhao Huiying lowered her eyes in satisfaction, and once again took a pair of emerald jade and silk gilt ruby ​​bracelets for her to put on: "As a princess, you should enjoy these. It’s almost a few days before and after An Ning, prepare well for marriage, and if there is anything missing, send someone to tell this palace, and the queen mother will naturally take care of it for you.”

"Yes, my son once again thanked the queen mother for her kindness."

"Well, well, I'm tired too, Fangxue, send someone to take the princess back, it's cool at night, put on my mink cloak on An Qing, don't catch a cold."

"Yes, ma'am."

Baili Anqing exited the palace with a face full of gratitude.

Zhao Huiying raised the corners of her lips, her eyes were extremely satisfied.

Fangxue sent someone back, and when she saw her like this, she quickly smiled to make fun of her: "Your Majesty, all her painstaking efforts were finally not in vain."

A flash of light flashed in Zhao Huiying's eyes: "I've been in a position of being trampled by others. Now that I have an opportunity to climb up, how can I not do my best? As long as she is a good chess piece, I will not treat her badly."

"Yes, Your Majesty has a kind heart. There are only a dozen days until the wedding of the two princesses, but your Majesty already has plans?"

"In a few days it will be the Spring Festival, right?"

"Yes."

"Princess Zhaohua and her son-in-law are very close, and it has nothing to do with their private contact before. The two princesses are getting married soon, and it is okay to meet in private. The Spring Festival is approaching, so let them go out and relax. After all, they are married. It is not so convenient for people to go out again. Let the princess and the consort meet by taking this opportunity."

"Your Majesty, do you want to?"

Zhao Huiying looked at the winter jasmine on the table, and the smile on her lips deepened: "It's not easy for a woman. Once you don't meet your lover, the result will be a miserable life. I remember that Baili Anqing's son-in-law is Yang Ge's grandson." Yang Lin, right?"

"Exactly, the emperor personally bestowed the marriage. It is said that this Yang Bianxiu wanted to marry Princess An Ning at the beginning, but he was preempted by Qu Yi, the fourth-rank military general, so he obeyed the emperor's order to marry Princess An Qing."

"Well, young Mu Ai, let the people of Biyun Pavilion take action, and it is bound to let An Qing know Yang Lin's true face."

Fangxue was startled, and then she understood: "Your Majesty, you want Princess Anqing to retire?"

"Simply retiring the engagement is not enough, how could Shen Ninghua be involved in just retiring the engagement, come here..." Zhao Huiying lowered her eyes slightly, talked softly to Fang Xue for a while, and then curled up her lips.

Fang Xue nodded, and retreated respectfully.

Zhao Huiying glanced down at the wound on the palm of her hand, her face was full of gloom: Xia Jingyan, back then, if I could kill you, I could also kill your daughter. It is only because she is too much like you. , A thorn that can't get in, how can I tolerate it!

The Spring Festival is approaching, and on this day, the common people put on spring clothes and go to the countryside to play.

Two carriages were parked by the river bank. A maid in blue tripped over a footstool and respectfully helped a woman in a light green dress to get out of the carriage. The woman was wearing a veil so that her face could not be seen clearly, but only her delicate pair of Meiyu and Zhong Liuyuxiu's eyes made people stop in amazement.

The woman got out of the carriage, glanced around with her beautiful eyes, then turned to look at the carriage.Everyone followed her gaze, only to find that two more slender women got out of the car. Although they also wore veils, their elegance was still hard to conceal.

Many people secretly sighed in their hearts, it really is a feast for the eyes, such three beauties don't know whose son they are taking advantage of.

These three people are Shen Ninghua, Baili Anning, and Baili Anqing.

Qingque followed behind Shen Ninghua: "Miss, the private room on the second floor is ready."

"Well, An Ning, An Qing, let's go up and sit down first."

Life in the Linbin Building is full of excitement, and everyone stretches their heads to look across the river. On the river, a stage is built facing the water, surrounded by pink veils. Soon there will be dancers on stage to compete for the title of Yingchun Fairy .

Chu Junyi, who was dressed in blue, came up with a basket containing colored heads: "I have seen the two princesses."

"Lord Chu, you don't have to be polite."

Chu Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua, with a warm smile in his eyes, and put the basket over: "You asked me to prepare this, and I will bring it to you."

"En." Shen Ninghua nodded, looking at the freshly picked and pruned winter jasmine branches inside, "This year's winter jasmine blossoms are especially better."

Chu Junyi smiled: "The peach blossoms are about to bloom."

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, she nodded, and turned to look downstairs: there was already music playing on the stage.

Yang Lin and Qu Yi, dressed in fancy clothes, stepped into the Linbin building at the same time.
