Chapter 18: Working together to discuss the plan
The main hall of Yongshou Palace, with doors and windows open, and the spring light is plated on the silver-filled jade plum blossom bonsai, shining brightly. Every time I come in, I am fascinated by Mu Yanqing.
Facing the masters sitting upright, Cailian was about to talk about something big, and she didn't know who to ask. After all, the biggest one here was Xiaopin, and whispered: "Empress, master, don't you need to close the door?"
"No need." Qin Peiying replied coldly.
Yue Lan gave Mu Yanqing tea and added: "Don't worry, little master, let alone those who can approach the master, any palace servant who can get close to the main hall will be brought into the palace from the mansion and will never gossip."
Mu Yanqing couldn't help but admire the affairs of the General's Family. General Qin thought that it took a lot of effort to make his only daughter rest assured in the deep palace.
Many young actresses who have just emerged, the final collapse of the house was all due to the staff's reputation. So the team of their own small workshop is just a safe place!
"You said Concubine Yi wanted to use your hand to design Concubine Yao, so she would have a plan for the next step?" Qin Peiying was too lazy to lay the groundwork and looked at Mu Yanqing half-believingly.
"Empress, this, Concubine Yi hasn't said it yet. She just confessed to me that pushing me into the water that day caused me to almost die. It was the eunuch's fault for a moment. I hope I don't put it in my heart."
Qin Peiying laughed, feeling that the one who almost died of the lotus pond that Mu Yanqing said was not him, "You must have your own judgment in your heart, right?"
Mu Yanqing nodded, "Empress is smart, Concubine Yi obviously wanted to do something at the beginning. It was because I was a big life and was saved by a kind person, so I survived by luck."
Qin Peiying woke up and realized that the reason why Gu Ningchuan wanted to meet Mu Yanqing was here.
"Also, although Concubine Yi did not say it clearly..." Mu Yanqing paused, "But her next goal should be you."
Cailian's eyes were about to pop out. Before, she only knew that her master had a little amnesia, but now she seemed to be crazy. Is this just a casual statement?
Compared with Cailian, the other three masters and servants were calm. Mu Yanqing took a sip of tea and wanted to wait to see the response made by Xiaopin. According to Qin Peiying's style, Mu Yanqing actually expected it to be seven or eight points.
Qin Peiying just smiled contemptuously, "I am not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. She can do whatever insidious tricks. If she has enough skills, she can bring people in directly. I am the first to step forward and never fear war."
Sure enough, even if the daughter from the general's mansion is well versed in war, she does not know how to be feared by others. Mu Yanqing has experienced it personally that the war among women is never about making a clear sword and a spear.
"The Empress is bold and I admire you very much, but it is useless to be brave enough to face an opponent like Concubine Yi."
Qin Peiying turned cold, obviously unhappy but difficult to refute. Because what Mu Yanqing said was reasonable.
Aunt Rong understood Qin Peiying's arrogance and said, "If the little master has a clever plan to help, I will be grateful."
"It seems that the Empress has indeed a problem that has not been solved." Mu Yanqing knew that it was not suitable to show off his power at this time, so he kept serious. "If the concubine is right, Concubine Yi happened to take advantage of the Empress's difficult choice at this time. You are not willing to accept the emperor's marriage, nor do you want to come forward to persuade the family, right?"
Qin Peiying just lowered her head and was silent, her face darkened a little. Aunt Rong understood and said, "The little master is very thoughtful and said no badly. The Empress is here to persuade her for this matter today."
"As you said, Concubine Yi planned to bite this matter and continue to slander my Qin family for not being ordered by the king?" Qin Peiying was a little angry.
Yue Lan reacted first and said in confusion: "But master, this little bit of dirty water from the Yi family is obvious. I'm afraid that Concubine Yi's next move is not this."
Mu Yanqing nodded and asked directly: "Empress, please forgive me for offending me. Did General Zhou have ever had feelings for you?"
Concubine Xiao raised her head in an instant, first shocked, then reacted, and said in confusion: "Who told you what you said?"
Mu Yanqing thought for a while and said, "But, whether the Empress is still nostalgic or not is not the most important thing. What is important is that this matter was told by Concubine Yi."
Yue Lan understood and pointed out: "It turns out that they are going to use these old things to destroy the master's reputation by using the young general's refusal to marry?"
Qin Peiying slapped the table and said angrily: "What kind of dirty things are the Yi family? I have been in the palace for a few years. Apart from my parents, even my own brothers have never met her. How could she use such obscene things to frame me?"
Mu Yanqing said calmly: "Empress, no matter whether the past is true or false, with the current strength of the Yi family, it is not difficult to bribe a few people to make a sensation. What's more, depending on your reaction, what the Yi family can know is not groundless."
Qin Peiying raised her chin disapprovingly and said, "I am not afraid of the shadow slanting. Even if I come to the emperor, I am innocent and fearless."
Mu Yanqing has seen such things in the circle. He spread rumors and broke his legs, and he could not solve them by being upright.
"Empress, everyone's words can make money and destroy bones. This is not something you can solve by how brave you are. The truth is not the most important thing. What's important is that it will definitely leave a thorn in the king's heart. Even if you are not worried about your fall out of favor, aren't you worried about your father and brother who hold military power?"
Mu Yanqing guessed that the Qin family understood the emperor's increasing fear. General Zhou returned to his meritorious service and had no title. The emperor simply threw a marriage gift and put the people in the Qin family. Li Yuxuan is still easy to speak now, and before he issued an order, he wanted to persuade the heroes to detour, and everyone could be harmonious and everyone was very happy.
But if the Qin family is unwilling to do so, it will be difficult to deal with when the king becomes angry.
Qin Peiying couldn't sit still, and when she got up, her skirt was kicked in a mess. "Do you have to open the gate of my general's mansion and let the Yi family put a lot of people in it? What's the intention of Yi Guihua'an? It would be fine if the Empress didn't know how to believe it. Do you think Qin Peiying is a good lake?"
"It seems that the Queen has not been able to persuade you? Isn't you really going to persuade me?"
Qin Peiying made accusation with a dark face.
A little palace maid was coming in with the cut pastry. Aunt Rong stepped forward to take it first, whispered to her to guard the door, turned around and put the pastry in front of Mu Yanqing, and said kindly: "Since the little master is prepared like a god, he is willing to tell us Concubine Yi's instructions. I think it's because he has plans. I am stupid. I hope the little master is willing to give me some."
Qin Peiying realized it later, "Concubine Yi is at its peak, why are you sure that you will have a good result if you betray her and serve me?"
"The Empress misunderstood. What I can be sure of is that if I help Concubine Yi, the harem will soon be without Mu Yanqing. I can't be sure where the way to live is, at least I must not go to a dead end."
The Qin family did not ask more questions, and both sides were silent like tacit understanding. Mu Yanqing then said Dandan: "I am actually the same as the Empress."
Xiaopin looked at her, as if he was blaming her or approving her, and his expression was complicated.
Mu Yanqing swallowed a sip of tea, and was too lazy to sell it. Then he said his thoughts: "Empress, since Concubine Yi's family wants to take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. It not only solves the emperor's suspicion, but also puts the chess piece he has chosen into the general's mansion. The key to our solution to the problem is still on Concubine Yi. Since she has figured out how to use you and the general's mansion to not receive the favor next, we can use the tricks and let things ferment. And the more suspicious the emperor is, the more we are confident that we will turn things around."
Mu Yanqing has seen all kinds of marketing, black and red is also red, and black is a chance to turn things around. Some young actresses have tried their best to sell hot searches to do marketing, and have established various personalities, but things have been contrary to their wishes. In the end, they have gained popularity because of being hacked.
Qin Peiying is determined to be the queen of popularity in this issue.
Xiaopin only heard Mu Yanqing's idea of going upstream and was confident. He couldn't even feel suspicious for a moment, so he sat down next to Mu Yanqing, "You continue."
