Chapter 328 Meet Xia Yun
"My lord, please show me the way!"
"It's not impossible. Let's put it this way, you are from humble backgrounds. Even if I send you to the emperor, your status will not be much higher in the future. Besides, you are not young anymore, and you are not at the age of competing for favor. But according to your backgrounds, it’s not a problem to marry a magistrate or something, and you can be regarded as a well-matched family, don’t you think so?”
"Other things, I can't make the decision. Your parents have to agree to this marriage. But I have a good proposal, you can see if it works."
"Just follow the prince's orders."
"I heard that the prefect of Wenzhou and the prefect of Yongzhou have not married wives yet, and they are also of the right age, which is suitable for you. Moreover, Yin Jishan, the prefect of Wenzhou, is also a person with outstanding literary talent, and he is also suitable for you, but I don't know if you have any wives. This means. If you have this idea, I will ask the old prince to help you make peace, which can be regarded as fulfilling you. If you stay by my side until you are old enough to leave the palace, it will be delayed."
"Marriage of palace ladies...can the old prince also decide?"
"Even if you can't make the decision, you can still say a few words. But you have to remember, it is the prince who helped you, not me, you know? From now on, the official name of Hehuan Hemeng will not be used. If Once this is done, you will be the prefect's wives, and you can only be called Song Ziling and Song Zhuling, understand?"
"Then...then we...thank you, the prince first! The servants will never forget the prince's great kindness! If it is useful to the place, you can just say it, you are welcome!"
"You have to remember, it's not me who helped you, but the old prince who helped you. If you want to thank, thank the old prince, not me. I can't help you in my current situation. I'll give you a letter of divorce right away. It's just you guys, don't help that concubine Rong anymore, it's best to cut off contact. When your names are gone, Concubine Rong can't do anything to you. It's just, your father Naturally, your official luck is no better than when you were empresses."
"Of course we can't blame you. It's fine if we don't harm our father in this matter, let alone other things. Besides, father's temperament can't be the master of official fortune. If he can keep his official position, he will It’s pretty good, and we don’t dare to expect too much.”
Thinking of the past reunion, Feng Yong still didn't call those two people down.
Those two people knew that Feng Yong could find out their details, so they probably wouldn't do anything in the future.
Feng Yong took Bai Lan into the house and closed the door.
Feng Yong turned to Bai Lan and said, "Lan'er, there is something I need you to do."
"What's the matter?" Bai Lan was a little surprised, her identity was exposed, so how could she still have something to do?
Feng Yong said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just about Xia Ge's hometown."
"Mr. Xia Ge? I don't know Mr. Xia Ge." Bai Lan was a little surprised.
Feng Yong shook her head: "Of course I know you don't know Mr. Xia Ge, but only you can do this, not me."
"Then you go ahead." Bai Lan said with a smile.
Feng Yong said with a smile: "You go to visit Xia Ge's hometown. If Xia Ge doesn't know about Xia Qinghe's demotion, you can tell him. If he knows, you can tell him, don't keep thinking about what is going on in front of you. Benefits, everything has to be based on a long-term perspective. I advocate the draft because Wei Huaqing wants to use my mouth so much in his heart. I advocate the establishment of a queen, and I also pave the way for Xia Qinghe and Mr. Xia Ge. Xia Qinghe cannot become a queen. In the end, Wei Huaqing would be afraid that Xia Yun's meritorious deeds would overwhelm the Lord, and would take credit for himself. But if Qin Wanyi becomes the queen, not only will it not affect Xia Qinghe's love, but it will also reassure Wei Huaqing. I hope Xia Yun can think about it and persuade the other side to let Qin Yan go. "
"This... so, Mr. Xia Ge may not listen to me." Bai Lan hesitated.
Feng Yong shook her head: "Whether he listens or not, you are a princess now, he can't drive you out, if he drives you out, then his Xia family intends to rebel. So you just need to bring people and go get these Having said that, whether Xia Yun listens or not is his own problem. But I think Xia Yun is not a fool. Even if he doesn’t agree right away, he will think about it. When he thinks it through, he will naturally come to me of."
"Then why didn't you go?" Bai Lan was a little puzzled.
Feng Yong said with a smile: "I'm just a prince, he doesn't care about it at all. Besides, Xia Qinghe's dismissal has something to do with me. I went there. Do you think he will see me? You are a princess, he has to see you."
"Okay, then I'll go now." Bai Lan said with a smile.
Feng Yong nodded: "Remember, how many people there are and how many people you bring, the formation must be large and let everyone know. Don't be so plain, put on nicer and more gorgeous clothes and look like a princess. "
"Okay." After Bai Lan finished speaking, she left the room.
Bai Lan went back to her room and asked the maids to dress herself.
After a short wait, a woman in a beautiful dress came out.This woman is wearing a lake-colored golden branch thread Ye Guangling small jacket with a stand-up collar and a side-breasted skirt, a flower skirt with colorful embroidered butterfly patterns on a green background that drags the floor, and a general blue tulle with pinched teeth and branches intertwined with damask.Thick and soft thick hair, the head is coquettish and chic in a lingyun bun, and in the lightly curled temples is inserted a plate of beads, chrysanthemums and twigs of Vitex Huasheng. On her creamy skin, she wears a gold-plated water ripple bracelet, and her waist is tied with a flowered satin net sash. , with a purse embroidered with white cranes spreading its wings, and on her feet are embroidered sheepskin shoes in gold and cloud red, making her look flawless and dazzling.
Take a closer look, isn't this Bai Lan after makeup?
Bailan's makeup is exquisite, her skin is whiter than snow, and the rouge on her face is like a natural rosy color. It makes people feel just right, and it doesn't make people feel that the makeup is too heavy.
Bai Lan turned her head and told the maids: "You guys go with me, to Xia Ge's old mansion."
"Princess...why did you go to Xia Ge's old mansion?" one of the maids asked.
Bai Lan chuckled: "Where is this princess going, do I need to tell you why?"
Hearing these words, the maid kept silent.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw that the special carriage arranged by Feng Yong was resplendent and extremely gorgeous.
When Bai Lan saw it, she shook her head helplessly, feeling that Feng Yong was exaggerating too much.
The group arrived at the Xia Mansion soon, Bai Lan felt the sedan chair stop, and said in a low voice, "Go in and let me know."
It took a long time after the maid finished the report, and I saw a middle-aged man in a dark blue dress hurrying out of the mansion, followed by a group of house servants: "Cao Min Xia Yun, see Princess Lanxin."
Bai Lan chuckled lightly and stretched out her hand from the sedan chair. The maid quickly understood and asked someone to move the stool and helped Bai Lan down.
After Bai Lan came down, she smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xia Ge, please, I'm here. It's nothing serious. Mr. Xia Ge doesn't need to be so polite."
"Princess, you are welcome. You are the princess, and I am just a commoner. Naturally, I need to come out to greet you." Xia Yun was still very respectful.
Bai Lan said indifferently: "Old Xia Ge, let's go in and talk, standing at the door, I'm afraid it's not good."
As soon as the words fell, the maid helped Bai Lan in.
The servant of Xia Yun's family quickly led the way and brought Bai Lan to the front hall.
When Xia Yun sat down, Bai Lan said with a smile: "You guys go down first, Mr. Xia Ge and I have some private matters."
After all, everyone withdrew.
"I don't know what orders the princess has?" Xia Yun still looked very respectful.
Bai Lan took a sip of tea by herself, and said expressionlessly: "I know, you don't look down on me, I'm just the emperor's righteous sister, a fake princess. And you, the elder of the pavilion, have peaches and plums all over the world, so naturally look No. But, Mr. Xia Ge, I’m here today, but I have something to tell you.”
"Although the grass people don't know what the princess wants to say, they have guessed the slightest bit. I'm afraid the princess is going to tell the grass people about the concubine Xia being demoted and grounded, right? King Huiwen is really interesting. Let the concubine Xia be demoted and grounded here. Let the princess come over there, are you here to see a joke?" Seeing what Bai Lan said, Xia Yun was not so respectful.
Bai Lan shook her head: "Mr. Xia Ge, you have a rich family and a wealth of education, but you haven't raised a smart daughter."
"The grass people don't understand what the princess means by this." Xia Yun was a little angry when he heard this.
Bai Lan smiled: "What do you mean? Then I will discuss it with Mr. Xia Ge."
"The grass people are all ears." Xia Yun said coldly.
When Bai Lan heard this, she was not angry but smiled: "Although Concubine Xia is young and beautiful, she doesn't have the brains she should have. First of all, the news of the emperor's selection of the queen had just come out, so she couldn't wait to bring the prince there to question her, but she was bumped into by the emperor. As a result, She was demoted and banned. Secondly, it was not the prince who made the final decision on the selection of the queen. It was the emperor's idea. Concubine Xia couldn't understand this matter, and she was jealous. Thirdly, the empress was the one to choose the wife, so why? In this way, there will be no one else. After the establishment of the queen, Concubine Xia's love will not fade away, or even become more favored. Concubine Xia has never understood these things. Are you saying these three things, Concubine Xia is brainless? "
"It's a joke, the newcomer enters the palace, the harem is full, only the newcomer smiles, but the old one doesn't cry, how can she be loved forever? I'm afraid the princess didn't enter the palace, so I don't know how lonely the palace is." Xia Yun sneered.
Bai Lan smiled: "Of course I have never entered the palace. But Mr. Xia Ge, you must know that first of all, the emperor has no feelings for the queen. If he has feelings for the queen after entering the palace, it is impossible to establish a queen now. At this point, Concubine Xia In fact, he has already gained the upper hand. Secondly, the emperor does not trust the senior ministers. Xia Ge has a family full of old friends and disciples, and his disciples are all over the government and the public. If Concubine Xia is granted the title of concubine, the emperor will not be at ease. He is always worried that you will take the credit and be arrogant, and your achievements will eclipse the master. . But after the establishment of the queen, there will be no more doubts. In the end, true feelings never exist in the deep palace, no matter which emperor is the same, and this emperor is even more so. Whether it is Mr. Xia Ge or Concubine Xia, there is no doubt. You shouldn't be pinning your wealth, life, and family glory on non-existent feelings. The emperor's trust is more reliable. As long as Xia Ge's disciples worked hard in the previous dynasty, Concubine Xia made no mistakes, and the emperor trusted her, how could it be that Don’t you think that Concubine Xia is a person of great honor and favor?”
"It's easy for you to say, but can you guarantee that those beautiful girls who come in won't be favored by the emperor?" Xia Yun still didn't believe what Bai Lan said.
Bai Lan shook her head: "Old Xia Ge, I'm afraid you haven't entered the court for a long time, so you don't know the rules. Most of those beautiful women are the daughters of old ministers, and some are the sisters and relatives of the current ministers. Tell me, so many Compared with people, is there any woman whose status can surpass Concubine Xia? I still say the same thing, don't pin your wealth, life and family glory on non-existent feelings. Whose mother's family helped the emperor in the previous court? Many, isn't it natural for the emperor to favor whoever he is in the harem? You must know that our emperor is not the kind of fatuous emperor who wants beauties but not country."
"Then you are here now to persuade me? Then you succeeded." Xia Yun said lightly.
Bai Lan smiled: "I never use it to persuade you, I even don't need to talk to you about it. If you have more quarrels with the emperor, and the emperor takes this opportunity to get rid of you, maybe our prince can get some benefits. It's just that Ah, I think getting rid of you may not be all good for us, so I hope, Mr. Xia Ge, you can think about it clearly, whether it is necessary to fight to the death like this."
"It's a joke. King Huiwen is a king who stands side by side, and he and Lord Naluo are friends. How can I fight against you as a mediocre person? You think of me too much when you say this." Xia Yun sarcastically said.
Bai Lan nodded: "On the surface it is so, but in fact it is not. Mr. Xia Ge, we all know why you sent Concubine Xia into the palace. We just don't want your treasure to be treated like a grass by others. It is not good for you to fight against the queen. It is imperative to seal the queen. At this time, no matter how much the emperor likes the Xia family, he will first stand on the queen's side. This matter can not only sell a Giving favors to the empress, you can also play a show for the world to see, and even test Elder Xia Ge's loyalty. Therefore, regarding this matter, Elder Xia Ge, you must think clearly and don't act impulsively."
"Heh, does this king still want to be close friends with Duke Huguo?" Xia Yun said coldly.
Bai Lan smiled: "Mr. , but to protect yourself. You can pretend to be reluctant, but you have to know that the emperor needs a step down so that he can legitimately restore Concubine Xia, and the queen also needs a reason to stop her from targeting Concubine Xia openly or secretly. This matter is a good thing for you and Concubine Xia, and it is also a good thing that guarantees profit without loss. You have to know that it doesn’t matter how much the emperor loves Concubine Xia, the queen is the queen after all, and Qin Yan, but the queen My dear brother, if Qin Yan is really murdered, do you think Concubine Xia's life is really comfortable?"
