The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 319

Hu Luanfei felt that it was impossible for a person to be completely ignored. Even if his presence was weak, he would be discovered inadvertently.

The jade ruyi is an example.

The two were about to leave for home, but the eunuch who had escorted her into the palace suddenly stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, we should go to the Cining Palace."

Hu Luanfei looked up at the sky and found that the sun was already high in the sky. It seemed like just a blink of an eye, but half a day had already passed?

Wait, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Since they were picking her up to take her to the Cining Palace to attend to her illness, why did they park the carriage on the long street of the Taiji Hall?

Hu Luanfei was puzzled, and Qi Siliao seemed to have the same idea and asked the eunuch, "The Cining Palace doesn't pass through this road, why did you park the car here?"

The eunuch replied respectfully: "The Queen Mother has ordered that Princess Zhan should go to see the Emperor first after entering the palace before returning to the Cining Palace."

"Why bother?"

"This...I don't know either."

Qi Siliao was suspicious and did not let go of Hu Luanfei's hand.

"Please get in the carriage, Princess..."

"No need." Qi Siliao led Hu Luan towards the Cining Palace, "I will personally take her there."

Along the way, Qi Siliao was still thinking.

So is Hu Luanfei.

She had always felt that Yu Guiji looked familiar, but she couldn't remember why. Yu Guiji's tearful face flashed through her mind, and she smiled, suddenly remembering that she had also cried so pitifully before...

"Yu Guiji's eyes are very similar to yours." Qi Siriao said this for no reason, causing Hu Luanfei to stop in his tracks.

Having said that, she seemed to know why Yu Guiji looked so familiar, and there seemed to be a thread in her mind pulling her where to go.

She bit her fingernails subconsciously and expressed her doubts: "Tell me, the Queen Mother asked me to go to Taiji Hall. Is it because I served Qi Sili before?"

"Maybe, maybe." He lowered his eyes, and a complex light surged in his dark eyes. "In recent days, Qi Sili has a special liking for Yu Guiji."

"No wonder. I said no one summoned me to the Taiji Palace. How dare those palace servants take the wrong path? So that's what they were planning."

Qi Sili had a special feeling for her. If he could not control himself and harassed her in front of Qi Siliao, the two brothers would become enemies. If the emperor was harmed, everyone in the Zhan Palace would die, and the empress dowager would reap the benefits, making it easier for her to control Qi Sili.

Killing two birds with one stone is indeed a good idea.

We arrived at the Cining Palace, and the maids were already waiting at the gate.

Qi Siliao accompanied Hu Luanfei to meet the Empress Dowager, paid his respects, drank tea, and then felt that the time was about up, so Qi Siliao prepared to leave.

"When the late emperor was your age, he already had several concubines. Liao'er cannot compare to your father." The Queen Mother said, pointing to the two pretty maids beside her, "They are of the right age. I will make the decision and grant them to you as concubines. You can learn from your father and have both sons and daughters."

Qi Siliao did not make any move, and the two maids were busy expressing their gratitude.

Hu Luanfei's deep eyes suddenly became dangerous. He glanced at Qi Siliao inconspicuously and said coldly, "They have already thanked you, why are you still standing there?"

His eyes darkened, and complex emotions surged in them. His cold and handsome face was now stained with anger. "I'm sorry, I can't accept this."

"Why, the person I chose is not good?" The Queen Mother's attitude changed quickly.

Qi Si Liao neither denied nor admitted, "I will not take concubines or maids in this life. I only have Luan Fei as my wife, which is enough for me."

The Queen Mother was disdainful, "If you tell others about this, they will make you laugh. How can a dignified war king hold his head high among his colleagues if he doesn't have three wives and four concubines?"

Qi Si Liao said: "A man should silence the gossips of others with his achievements, and secondly, win people over with his virtue, not by the number of women in the harem. Mother, I have made up my mind, please don't waste your efforts."

"What a beautiful lady..." The Queen Mother's eyes squinted slightly. The faces of the two maids turned pale instantly and they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"The fact that the War King refused to accept you two is enough to prove that you two have low character. The Cining Palace will never tolerate you. Someone, sell you out!"

"Please spare us, Queen Mother. We will do our best to serve the prince." Seeing that Qi Si Liao and the Queen Mother were not interested, the two placed their hopes on Hu Luan Fei, "Queen, please have mercy on us and save us."

The two of them kowtowed continuously, and soon their smooth and delicate foreheads turned red and traces of blood flowed out.

Hu Luanfei was fed up with helping others clean up the mess and glared at Qi Siriao fiercely, but he was also glaring at him. His sharp eagle eyes contained countless flames, as if saying: If you dare to be soft-hearted and take them in, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost.

The decision of life and death of these two people lies in her hands. She doesn't want to be a bad person, nor does she want them to become concubines in Qi Si Liao's backyard. She is very conflicted, but she can't bear to do it.

That's it.

Her "stare" quickly turned into a plea, "Please take it, the backyard of our palace is quite spacious..."

Qi Si Liao gritted his teeth and said, "You are so generous." He couldn't do anything to her, so he smiled and said, "I thank the princess for her magnanimity. Humph!"

He walked away, but the distance between them was too close, and his sleeve hit her face, causing her eyes to burn and she burst into tears.

"Hurry up and follow me." Hu Luanfei reminded the two kneeling people.

The two were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and quickly thanked him, then quickly followed Qi Siriao.

The Queen Mother nodded, very satisfied with Hu Luanfei's actions, "Liao'er is so lucky to have you."

Hu Luanfei's eyes were red, her heart was aching, and she felt very uncomfortable. However, she had to pretend to be the mistress of the house, "The Queen Mother is right. The prince has few children, so he should take in a few concubines to expand the palace. In the future, they can also fight in the battlefield like the prince to defend the country."

"It's good that you have such a magnanimous demeanor. I am tired, please follow me and leave first."

"Yes."

The nanny who led Hu Luanfei to retreat had been to the prince's mansion two days ago. Her attitude was not very good. As they walked, she reminded her in a bad mood that she was not allowed to enter and leave the Cining Palace at will when she had free time, nor was she allowed to break into the backyard of the Cining Palace, and she was not allowed to go to the Buddhist temple without permission.

Hu Luanfei secretly complained: Why did they ask her to come when there are so many rules?

That night, she was arranged to stay in a side hall of the East Garden, some distance away from the main hall. She was not allowed to go to the West Garden, saying that it was a forbidden area of ​​the Cining Palace, also known as the Side Garden and Cold Palace, where several palace maids who had made mistakes lived.

After Hu Luanfei had dinner, he served the empress dowager medicine and chatted with her for a long time about this and that. Then he was sent back to the East Garden.

Worried about his youngest son, he could not sleep until late at night. The moon was high in the sky outside the window, and the East Garden was so quiet that even the palace guards could not help but doze off.

Hu Luanfei climbed up the window at night and wandered around the East and West Gardens according to his memory during the day. Passing by the Buddhist hall, he heard the sound of flipping through books, and soon, he heard a few whispers.

Looking inside through the crack in the door, the empress dowager was kneeling on a cushion, her hands clasped together, three incense sticks pointed at her fingertips, kneeling and bowing very piously.

It's amazing, he's still praying to the gods in the middle of the night...

"Empress Dowager, the night is late, it's time to rest." A mellow male voice shattered Hu Luanfei's silent praise.

In front of the Buddha statue, there was a man with eight-pack abs and bronze skin that could be clearly seen even from a distance in the candlelight.

Why could she see so clearly? Because the man was only wearing a pair of underwear.
