Luoshuanga turned his head to look at Lady Wen Yu's beautiful face. He did not answer but asked, "Did Qian Guipin offend you?"
Lady Wen Yu tilted her head and said, "What does Your Majesty think?" She kicked the ball back to him.
Luoshuanga lowered his eyes and looked back at the book. He said indifferently, "You are the one in charge of Yuxi Palace. Rewards and punishments will all be decided by you."
Lady Wen Yu stood up and bowed with her hands crossed. She thanked him and said, "Chenqie thanks Your Majesty." The horsetail whisk around her neck was removed.
Lady Wen Yu saw that she had achieved her goal and did not stay for long. She gracefully walked out. When she reached the door, she held onto the edge of the door and looked back with a smile. She said, "If Your Majesty feels lonely in the long night and sleeps alone, chenqie's Willow Palace will always welcome you." She was satisfied to see Liang Yu-an's face turn green in an instant. She covered her mouth and laughed loudly as she walked out.
As the laughter faded away, Luoshuanga threw down the book and asked, "How is Wen Lu Shi?"
Liang Yu-an bowed and said, "Her cheeks are red and swollen. Two of her teeth were knocked out. When she returns, the Wen family will be very angry."
Luoshuanga sneered and said, "The dignified wife of the clan leader was completely lost in the palace. How can they not be angry? Unfortunately, the Wen family only has the title of a first-rank general. The descendants of the clan are used to exchanging women for titles with the Wang family. They did not get any actual power. How can such a clan be considered one of the Five Distinguished Clans? It is ridiculous."
Liang Yu-an said, "The ancestors of the Wen Clan were cautious and conscientious. The civil and military officials had many achievements. The old concubines of the Wen Clan were also respectful and virtuous. It is a pity that the descendants did not live up to expectations."
Luoshuanga said, "Our Da Qing has been separated by these so-called Distinguished Clans for too long. Not only are the Four Great Clans and Five Distinguished Clans in the imperial court, even my harem is full of people from these clans. If there is a difference, they are all their disciples. They have blocked the poor people who have no family and no path out of Yan Jing. Da Qing's foundation is still good, but after a few generations, it will follow in Đại Việt's footsteps!"
Liang Yu-an comforted, "Your Majesty is far-sighted and wise. You will definitely be able to stabilize Da Qing's rivers and mountains."
Luoshuanga stood up and moved his shoulders and arms, saying, "Gong-gong, don't say these empty words. Lasting for thousands of years is but a wishful thinking. Gong-gong, you are someone who has been through this, so you know best. I only hope that when I am alive, I will be able to do more beneficial things for Da Qing and the people after me. I only hope that when the future generations evaluate me, they will not find fault with me." There was a hint of self-mockery in the end.
"Your Majesty has such a benevolent heart, the future generations are blessed." Liang Yu-an surrendered to this young emperor because of the young emperor's pure heart.
In the past, there were too many ambitious monarchs and monarchs. There were also too many arrogant and complacent founding monarchs. They all hoped that their dynasty could last a hundred generations, a thousand generations, or even ten thousand generations. However, none of them were as clear-headed as the young emperor. They only hoped to establish a foundation for Da Qing and the dynasty after Da Qing, and not fantasize about continuing Da Qing for thousands of years.
"Let's go back to the imperial study."
"Yes," Liang Yu-an turned and asked, "Where is your Majesty's dinner tonight?"
Luoshuanga walked in front, and without turning his head, he said, "The imperial study."
Lady Wen Yu returned to Liu Se Palace Hall in a good mood. Bai Suyan was already waiting there. When she saw her return, she came up to greet her, "Greetings to niangniang."
Lady Wen Yu was very happy. She spoke with a smile of exultation, "Meimei, why did you come? Is there something wrong?"
Bai Suyan looked at her glowing appearance and silently criticized: How much hatred does she have with the Wen family? How can she be so happy after dealing with Wen Lu shi?
She told Lady Wen Yu about the plan she and Empress Dowager Wang had decided on to deal with Yao Shilin. Lady Wen Yu sat down on the main seat and waved her hand, saying, "The Empress Dowager and meimei can decide. There is no need to ask ben gong. If there is anything you need, just let me know. Ben gong will cooperate fully."
Bai Suyan wanted to leave immediately, but when she thought of the words of Chun guipin and Liang guipin, she hesitated. Lady Wen Yu noticed and asked, "Meimei, is there anything else?"
Bai Suyan shook her head and said, "No, it's almost dinner time. I won't disturb niangniang." She bowed and withdrew.
"Meimei, take care."
Bai Suyan actually felt that she was very useless. She couldn't see through anyone in the palace. Everyone was not as simple as they looked on the surface. Everyone had their own secrets. Yaohua furen was one, Lady Wen Yu was one, and everyone else was one. Thinking about herself, she felt ridiculous. Wasn't she the same?
She couldn't see through others, and others may not be able to see through her. Thinking like this, her original depression was immediately swept away.
"Ben qie greets Consort Yan."
Halfway through, Bai Suyan's sedan chair was stopped. She lifted the curtain and saw Consort Jin, who had never spoken before, "No need for formalities. Consort Jin just came back from Ying Pin's place. You two sisters have a very good relationship. Compared to the Chen family's twins, you two are not inferior."
Consort Jin smiled cutely and said, "Thanks niangniang for the praise. Actually, Ben qie has always wanted to go to niangniang's place to pay respects one day. It would be good to accompany niangniang to talk and relieve your boredom."
These words were interesting. Bai Suyan put away her smile and said, "Does Consort Jin have something to say to ben gong?"
Consort Jin approached and said in a low voice, "Ben qie and Ying Pin have been together for a long time and found some interesting things. Does niangniang want to listen to Ben qie here?"
Bai Suyan raised an eyebrow and was very surprised, saying, "Then follow me."
"Ben qie obeys."
Beside Bai Suyan's Luan sedan was an embroidered concubine. She leisurely walked towards Shuangbo Palace. At the corner, Lan Guipin slowly walked out. Looking at them, her expression was secretive.
In this palace, betrayals and betrayals never stopped. Everyone wanted to be the one to catch the oriole, but at the same time, everyone was like a cicada in front of a praying mantis.
Bai Suyan didn't take Consort Jin back to Ying Hall. Instead, she changed the route to the Imperial Garden. She ordered someone to stop the sedan chair. Consort Jin went forward to support her jade arm and said with a sweet smile, "Niangniang, please be careful of your steps."
The two didn't immediately get to the main topic. They walked together for a while. Consort Jin also talked to Bai Suyan about the scenery in the Imperial Garden, "Niangniang, look. Knowing that you are coming, the thousand petal lotuses are all blooming. There is also the red platform over there.
Ah, niangniang, even though this Green Feather Festival is common, it actually gave birth to the twin lotus flowers. This is a good omen. Thanks to niangniang's wealth, Ben qie has the fortune to see the twin lotus flowers. "
Bai Suyan didn't speak. She pulled out a jade hairpin from her head. With a flip of her wrist, the jade hairpin shot out and pierced one of the twin lotus flowers. The other flower was undamaged and still stood tall and elegant.
"Niangniang is truly the daughter of a military and martial family. Ben qie admires this move," Consort Jin fawned while observing her body language, "But no matter how rare the twin flowers are, it's not as good as this jade hairpin. Niangniang, what do you think? "Niangniang."
Hearing her words, she was hinting that Lady Wen Yu would share one of the luan seals with her. Bai Suyan looked at her own fingers that weren't as delicate as those of a girl in the boudoir. She said: "Didn't you come to discuss the Ying pin with ben gong?"
Consort Jin's eyes turned and said: "Niangniang is wise. This Ying pin is not the same Ying pin. Has niangniang heard of Wang Ying 'er?"
Bai Suyan's face was tense, but inside, she was muttering: The Wang Family is a large family, but they didn't do things properly. Right now, even consort Jin knew that there was only Wang Ying 'er. She didn't know if the other people in the palace knew and were all laughing at the Wang Family.
"I've heard of her. She's a biaomei of Wang Pin. I heard that her health isn't very good. What, you don't want to tell ben gong that this Ying pin is Wang Ying 'er?"
"That's right," Consort Jin leaned closer, "This is all thanks to the title bestowed by Empress Dowager Wang. Pinqie just remembered. At the beginning, pinqie didn't want to believe it. After all, Shen Man 'er is pinqie's biaomei. After pinqie returned, pinqie tested Ying pin several times. Ying pin was able to answer everything, but her Wang Family overlooked one thing.
My Man 'er biaomei played with pinqie when she was young. One time, the road was slippery after the rain. In order to protect pinqie, she held pinqie and fell. Her arm was cut because of this. Pinqie was young and afraid of being scolded by adults, Man' er biaomei didn't tell the family and couldn't be treated in time. It left a scar on the inside of her forearm that couldn't be erased.
Of course, it's not good for a girl's body to have a scar. Aunt spent a lot of effort to make the scar on Man 'er biaomei's arm so faint that it couldn't be seen clearly. But if you look closely, you can still see it. But right now, Ying pin's forearm doesn't have this scar. So niangniang, who do you think the person who replaced Man' er biaomei is? "
"Perhaps Consort Jin is thinking too much. For the sake of the selection, it's possible that Shen daren and his wife spent a lot of money to get medicine for Ying pin. Besides, if the Wang Family really did such a stupid thing, how could they not know about Empress Dowager Wang? The Empress Dowager Wang is such a shrewd person. How could she openly bestow the 'Ying' character to Ying pin and announce that this is Wang Ying 'er? Wouldn't that be slapping her own family's face?"
Consort Jin said: "Then why does niangniang think the Wang Family abandoned Wang Pin? That day, you and I were both present. Wang Pin's defeat, her head palace maid betraying her. Other than Wang Pin herself, who else does niangniang think could order her palace maids to move? Also, Shun Guiren, a person you didn't care for, just happened to die there? "
Bai Suyan took back the hand that Consort Jin was holding. She said with a smile that wasn't a smile: "To put it bluntly, these are just your conjectures. There is no proof. Ben gong can't report to the Empress Dowager just because of your imagination and have her convict Ying pin?"
Consort Jin stilled. She lowered her feathered eyelashes and said: "Lowly concubine was frightened and misspoke. Niangniang, please punish."
"It's fine. You are young and are always afraid when encountering something like this," Bai Suyan patted her shoulder comfortingly, "If you really aren't sure, why don't you send a letter to have your father investigate? It's better than worrying yourself."
Consort Jin's eyes lit up. She curtsied and said: "Concubine thanks niangniang for the guidance. Concubine will go back and write a letter. Concubine won't disturb niangniang's mood of admiring the lotuses."
"Go."
They were all varieties of the lotus. Among them, the thousand-petaled lotus was the finest of the lotuses.
