Chapter 258: Don’t raise tigers to cause trouble
Yuetao pouted, "Concubine Yang really treats people like fools. She praises Concubine Fang in every possible way and compares you with her. Isn't that just to instigate you to go against Concubine Fang?"
"Yes." Hu Liangdi lowered her eyes, "Xie Shuren didn't see such a simple plan. She really thought she was complaining about me. I'm afraid that what Xie said had been guided by Concubine Yang a long time ago."
During the primary election, Hu Liangdi and Xie Shuren lived together in the palace for a period of time. Unlike Xu Xiner who came in halfway, there was still some overlap between the two of them.
If it weren't for this intersection, Hu Liangdi wouldn't have reminded Xie Shuren of those words.
It's a pity that Xie Shuren is smart and didn't understand.
Yuetao poured a cup of tea and brought it over, "Liangdi doesn't need to worry about her. Such a person doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. It's not good to get close to her. She might be implicated one day."
"Of course I don't care about her, I'm not on my own path yet," Hu Liangdi said lightly.
Knowing what she was talking about, Yuetao sighed and didn't answer.
Hu Liangdi took a breath, but after all, there was still a little envy on her face.
"Mr. Fang is indeed very lucky. They say that those who survive a catastrophe will be blessed with a good future. I am afraid that her good luck will be the position of concubine. His Highness's promotion of her this time will determine her high position after entering the palace."
As for myself, I don’t know what position I can get.
Thinking of these things, Hu Liangdi felt sad that she didn't have much time to accumulate experience with Pei Yao, but at the same time she was glad that Pei Yao now had a clear future except for Prince Ming. Her family made the right bet.
Under the conflict, I felt irritable and couldn't help but raise my hand to rub my forehead.
At this time, I heard Yuetao whisper.
"Liangdi, what Concubine Yang said is actually quite reasonable. You don't want to be used as a gunman, but there are others in the backyard. I heard that He Liangdi and Concubine Fang have always been at odds with each other."
Hearing this, Hu Liangdi looked up at Yuetao, frowned and said nothing.
After a long while, he said, "Let me think about it, don't act rashly."
Yuetao nodded and said nothing more.
And in Weiyang Pavilion at that time.
After sending Hu Liangdi and Xie Shuren away, Concubine Yang became cold-faced.
Yun Qian waved her hand to ask someone to remove the handicap, then walked to Yang Fangfei, squatted down, and rubbed her legs herself.
"Don't be upset, concubine. There are very few people like Xie Shuren after all. Hu Liangdi is smarter, so it is expected that she will be difficult to persuade."
"It's secondary to say it or not. I see that Mrs. Hu has some plans, and I'm afraid that she will become the second Mr. Fang." Concubine Yang said solemnly.
Yun Qian thought for a while and said uncertainly, "But now it seems that His Highness is neither cold nor warm towards Hu Liangdi."
"That's now." Concubine Yang raised her chin and looked deeply, "What was Fang's identity when she entered the East Palace? Even Zhao Liangdi, who had fallen out of favor a long time ago, dared to step on her a few times, but what do you think about it now?"
After saying this, Yun Qian also looked serious.
If you think about it carefully, Hu Liangdi is better than Fang Yun in terms of appearance, her family background is even better, and she is also smart, so it may not be impossible.
Thinking of this, Yun Qian lowered her voice.
"It seems like this, Concubine, you can't let yourself be a tiger this time."
"As long as she can't give birth, a tiger is still a paper tiger. If I keep her as a paper tiger, she will be able to share more of Fang's favor for me and keep me in check. When the third son gets older, I will have to give birth to a healthy boy."
Concubine Yang raised her hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, a hint of irritation flashed across her face.
She accidentally gave birth to a premature baby unexpectedly, causing her third son, a boy, to become extremely weak, which was ultimately a setback in her heart.
Two or three days passed by.
Pei Yao was too busy to go to the backyard.
Fang Yun has been quite free these days. After the two troublemakers in the backyard, He Liangdi and Xu Xiner, were beaten by Pei Yao, they could no longer jump up and down, which was quite a relief.
People love to sleep when they have free time. Especially now in October, the weather is cold. As a pregnant woman, Fang Yun loves to take a nap even more.
No, when Pei Yao came over in the afternoon, Fang Yun had just gotten up.
With her hair disheveled, she was sitting by the couch, being put on shoes and socks by Qingrong.
Seeing Pei Yao come in, although he was not completely awake yet, his body still instinctively remembered to salute.
But before she could move, she was pushed back to sit down.
"Just woke up?" Pei Yao asked with a faint smile on his lips.
Seeing that her face was pink and dusty from sleep, she gently rubbed it with the back of her hand.
"Yes." Fang Yun nodded, lazily leaning towards his shoulder, half coquettishly, half jokingly, "Your Highness is here today, maybe he guessed that I asked someone to stew mutton in a pot tonight, right?"
Pei Yao pushed her long hair behind her ears and teased.
"Dang Gu has a dog nose like you?"
Ever since Fang Yun became pregnant, his nose has become more effective. Not long ago, Pei Yao had some roast duck for lunch at the Yamen. When he came back in the afternoon, Fang Yun could still smell the smell on his clothes.
That's what Pei Yao was teasing at that time.
This time, Fang Yun joked back after hearing this.
"I have a good nose, so Your Highness won't bring me a taste of something good that I ate outside."
As they joked with each other, the smile on Pei Yao's face became even brighter.
He raised his hand and scratched her nose.
"How can I miss you? Gu Jin'er really brought you some good things, Hong Zheng."
After giving instructions, Hong Zheng came in with a snack box, opened it and saw that it was a plate of steamed buns.
It looked very familiar. When Fang Yun took a whiff, his face showed a bit of surprise.
"Are these vegetable buns made by the Liu family's sister-in-law?"
"Don't call me sister-in-law. I have already arranged for Liu Qin to recognize you as my foster sister. In the future, you can also call them husband and wife as your foster father and mother."
Pei Yao was happy to see her and was in a good mood.
"Liu Qin heard from Gu that you wanted to eat this, so he asked his mother to make it. Today, he brought it back to Gu. He is also very willing to recognize the siblings."
Hearing these words, Fang Yun's eyebrows curled up and he said sweetly.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Is this the end?"
Pei Yao raised his eyebrows.
Fang Yun thought for a while, held his waist and lifted his belly up a little.
"The little one in my belly doesn't know how to salute yet. I thank my father for her!"
This move also made Pei Yao laugh.
"You're used to being funny. Okay, okay, get up and eat the steamed buns. I'm already overheated."
Fang Yun smiled, let him hold his hand, and went outside.
However, my hair hadn't been combed yet, so it wouldn't look good to wear it while eating, so I went to sit in front of the dressing table and simply combed it.
Pei Yao was sitting next to him, waiting in a quiet and harmonious manner.
But I didn't expect that I would only sit there for a while when I saw Fuxi hurriedly come in from outside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, there is someone coming from the palace. Concubine Chen said that the Emperor is vomiting blood. Please come over!"
"What's going on? I was fine this morning."
Pei Yao stood up and frowned.
Fuxi shook his head, "The imperial concubine doesn't know either. When she sent someone here, the imperial doctor was watching her."
Fang Yun had already tied up his hair and came over to hold Qingrong's hand.
"Your Highness, please go and take a look. This is no small matter. If there is anything, it's easy to make plans."
Vomiting blood cannot be ignored in this era of underdeveloped medical science.
If Emperor Chengjing dies, Pei Yao will really take over immediately.
Pei Yao glanced at Fang Yun and nodded.
"Don't worry when I'm gone. Take good care of yourself and eat the buns while they're hot."
"Um."
Fang Yun responded and watched him leave.
