Chapter 377 Crown Princess 41
De Fei was upset by the monkey-like looks from everyone, but she smiled softly and said:
"I slept too much yesterday afternoon, so I couldn't sleep at night. If I had known this, I wouldn't have slept so long at noon."
Everyone smiled in their hearts. What sleep? It was probably because he had lost his power in the palace and his mortal enemy had put him under house arrest, so he was feeling upset and couldn't sleep.
Everyone understood what was going on, but they also followed suit and said a few words of advice.
Concubine De was smiling the whole time, and her energy-maintaining skills were top-notch.
She took a sip of tea and secretly made a note in her heart that she would not let go the culprit, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi who was fanning herself with firewood.
She originally wanted to use little Concubine Tong as a stepping stone, but now, she would use them as the starting point.
The greetings were over and everyone left.
"Sister Defei, wait a minute."
Concubine De was walking in front when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
When she turned around, she found that it was Concubine Rong again. Her ghost was really lingering around.
"Sister Defei, let me go with you." Rongfei came over with a polite smile.
Defei was in an even worse mood. Although their palaces were close to each other, they never walked together in the past. But ever since she lost her power in the palace, Rongfei always made trouble for her.
"Will my sister be unhappy?"
Concubine Rong frowned slightly. Although her tone was clearly questioning, Concubine De felt that she was proud.
That's right. Rong Fei has been with His Majesty for so many years and gave birth to so many children, although several of them died. But she was indeed the most qualified. But when the four concubines were finally conferred titles, she was ranked ahead of Rong Fei. It was normal for Rong Fei to feel unhappy. Now that she has lost her palace power, shouldn't Rong Fei be the happiest?
Concubine De shook her head: "Of course not."
"Don't worry too much, sister. You have been with His Majesty for so many years. Sooner or later, you will have a share of the palace power." Rong Fei came close to De Fei and whispered to her.
Upon hearing this, Defei looked at Rongfei in surprise: "Sister Rongfei, don't you know that the power of the palace belongs to the Crown Princess..."
However, Concubine De seemed to have said something wrong, and quickly covered her mouth: "My sister said something out of turn, please don't take it to heart, but it's better for me to lose this palace power now, so as to avoid..."
At the end, she actually seemed somewhat relieved.
Rong Fei widened her eyes. What did this mean?
She immediately asked: "Sister, what does this mean?"
Concubine De was unwilling to say anything, she shook her head, but her eyes showed a little relief and pity: "Sister will know later."
On the way back, Concubine De changed the subject and talked about other things.
The two did not part until they reached a fork in the road.
Concubine De looked at Concubine Rong's back, and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.
Rong Fei didn't see it and returned to the palace, feeling uneasy.
"Tell me, what did Concubine De mean by that? She even mentioned the Crown Princess. What does the palace power have to do with the Crown Princess?"
The maid was also confused. Suddenly, she asked in a flash: "Master, will the power of the palace be handed over to the Crown Princess from now on?"
"How can it be!"
Rong Fei objected, but when she thought about how much His Majesty valued the Eastern Palace and that there was no one in charge in the harem, and the Crown Princess was the wife of the Crown Prince, wouldn't it be somewhat legitimate for her to be in charge?
If the Crown Prince can act as regent, why can't the Crown Princess take over the Phoenix Seal?
It seems that His Majesty can really do such a thing.
Rong Fei's eyes darkened, but she secretly tried to calm herself down.
She thought that instead of guessing here, it would be better to test the opinions of Concubine Yi and Concubine Tong.
Both of them hold power in the palace, and they are probably more anxious than her. What's more, one of them has the support of the Queen Mother, and the other is the Emperor's maternal cousin.
She would not be allowed to take the stage, and Concubine De, she did not believe that she was a simple person. That might be true, but how much truth there was, who knew.
-
Yonghe Palace.
After Concubine De came back, she drank the tea. The scapegoat in the palace was found, and action could also be taken against the Crown Princess.
"Have you found out what I asked you to find out before?"
Lily nodded: "Master, the only ones who can access the Crown Princess's private belongings are the four palace maids around her, Xiangyin, Xiangqian, Fuju and Fuyun."
"Xiang Yin and Xiang Qian followed the Crown Princess into the palace from the Guaerjia Mansion. They were born in a family, and the indentures of their entire family were in the hands of the Guaerjia clan. They were not easy to bribe, and they would not betray easily."
You can't contact this kind of people. If you do, you might find that they will sell them out.
She continued, "And Fu Ju and Fu Yun came from the palace. They used to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now they have become the confidants of the Crown Princess. I'm afraid it will be difficult..."
Concubine De didn't care: "The prince is handsome and high-spirited, and he is also the crown prince, powerful and influential. Lily, how many maids in Yuqing Palace do you think want to climb into the prince's bed and become his mistress..."
She smiled meaningfully: "If the Crown Princess is unwell, Fu Ju and Fu Yun are the Crown Princess's close associates, and they are also palace maids. They are not stunningly beautiful, but they are also pretty. They have too many opportunities."
There are so many benefits ahead. If they climb to the throne now, they will become concubines and queens when the prince ascends the throne in the future. How can they not be tempted by the good things of flying up the branches and becoming phoenixes? Once they are tempted, it is very easy for them to tamper with the menstrual belt.
Lily was stunned when she heard this. Concubine De didn't see it. Lily, who was massaging her shoulders from behind, suddenly touched her face. It seemed that her master climbed up like this. Her eyes moved slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
-
Undercurrents were surging in the palace. On the other side, Sheng Huan was selecting flower seeds in Jinxiu Residence and instructing the palace servants to build a flower stand.
After all, it's where you live, so you have to be more thoughtful and careful.
Then, as if he heard something, Sheng Huan's expression froze, as if he was disgusted.
This Concubine De is really a troublemaker. She is very annoying and always wants to do something.
Moreover, what is she doing as the Crown Princess? What is she doing as Yinreng? Although Yinreng looks gentle, he is actually very arrogant and picky about people. If a palace maid climbs into bed, Sheng Huan can imagine the fate of the palace maid. Unless Yinreng is also interested, the palace maid will not be well.
What's more, in Yuqing Palace, except for those who were short-sighted and were executed in the early days, no palace maid dared to climb into the bed in the past ten years. All the women in the East Palace were bestowed by Kangxi.
Of course, if Yinreng was really so desperate that he attacked the maids around her and didn't take her seriously, then...
Sheng Huan thought so, his eyes turned cold, and he could not expect that someone would be humane in the future. Somewhere in the palace, Yinreng suddenly felt cold and sneezed.
"Crown Princess, please have some tea." Fu Ju brought over the tea.
Sheng Huan nodded, took it, and treated Fu Ju as usual.
After all, Fu Ju and Fu Yun have been getting along with each other for these days, and they seem to be very loyal to her and are also smart people.
-
Martial arts training ground.
When the eldest prince heard the palace servants say that the prince had gone to the martial arts training ground to practice martial arts, he was so frightened that he ran over here immediately.
As soon as I came in, I saw Yinreng dancing with a spear.
He was vigorous and full of energy, and it seemed that his skills had greatly improved. It was obvious that he was more powerful than before.
The eldest prince secretly thought that this was not good. The prince was really despicable. It was bad enough that he suppressed him as the legitimate son, but now he was even trying to suppress him with force.
The eldest prince became more and more angry as he thought about it. He flew onto the stage and drew his spear: "Second brother, why don't we have a fight?"
When Yinreng saw the eldest prince appear, he put the gun behind his back. He was very puzzled as to what was wrong with the eldest prince and why he came over and delayed his improvement in physical and martial strength. However, he thought it would be good to have someone to practice with, and then he could let Chuhua see his results.
Yinreng stepped forward and pointed his spear:
"I will teach you."
