Chapter 170, Cut Hu
Shi Fuyin followed Princess Yong'an to Shoukang Palace in a daze, sat in her side hall for a while, and then was sent back to Chuxiu Palace.
Not long after she came back, Xiahou Huanyan and others who were summoned by the Empress Dowager also came back.
"What's going on? Why did I hear that you also went to Shoukang Palace?"
Xiahou Huanyan looked at Shi Fuyin strangely.
Shi Fuyin nodded: "Princess Yong'an found me, and took me to her palace for a while."
Xiahou Huanyan's eyes widened: "How could Princess Yong'an know about you?"
Shi Fuyin shook her head. She entered the palace for the first time, and she didn't know any of the princes or princesses. She was also extremely puzzled when she was called by a princess to drink tea.
Xiahou Huanyan looked puzzled, but soon smiled in relief, and whispered to Shi Fuyin: "Maybe your brother did something."
Shi Fuyin was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
Xiahou Huanyan: "Don't you want to be selected? Think about it, in the entire palace, who would dare to rob someone from the empress dowager?"
At that time, Fuyinfu's heart came to him, and he figured out the key points immediately. It's just that the elder brother has only been in the palace for a few months, can he invite Princess Yong'an?
The scene of seeing Xiao Ziqing at the Plum Blossom Pavilion yesterday could not help but come to mind.
Xiahou Huanyan continued: "Your brother is quite capable. Because Princess Yong'an is relatively weak, she rarely appears in front of people. I don't know how he can invite her to come forward?"
Shi Fuyin quickly asked: "Why does Princess Yong'an live in Shoukang Palace?"
Xiahou Huanyan: "Princess Yong'an lost her biological mother when she was born, and she has been raised in the princess's house since then, until the empress dowager brought An Guogong into the palace. Maybe she wanted to find a playmate for An Guogong, so she took Princess Yongan Shoukang Palace."
"Originally after Duke Anguo moved out of the palace, Princess Yong'an should have returned to the princess' place. It is estimated that the Empress Dowager is used to being accompanied by Princess Yong'an. In addition, she is already old enough to be married in less than two years, so she has been staying in Shoukang Palace. .”
Shi Fuyin keenly discovered a problem: "An Guogong is not in good health, and Princess Yong'an is not in good health, they."
Xiahou Huanyan quickly stopped Shi Fuyin, signaling her not to talk about this topic.
Seeing Xiahou Huanyan's serious face, Shi Fuyin swallowed the words in her mouth.
Xiahou Huanyan said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about things in the palace casually."
Shi Fuyin nodded and didn't say much, but she couldn't stop thinking of Xiao Zi's thin body and Princess Yong'an's sick face in her mind.
As one of the most influential speakers in the harem, the Empress Dowager naturally attracted the attention of all parties in her words and deeds. As soon as she summoned the show girls, the list of show girls summoned appeared in the hands of all parties.
"Shi Fuyin's Wuchangbo Mansion is already dead, why would the Empress Dowager summon the girl from the Shi family?"
"When the third girl knows kung fu, the empress dowager probably also thought that with such a female family member in the backyard of An Guogong, she could protect the safety of An Guogong more."
"The Empress Dowager really wants to fall in love with Miss Shi San, then we have to let go. It's really unlucky, a prince in this palace, who has a crush on a woman, actually wants to give it up to that sick child Xiao Ziqing!"
Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager knew about Princess Anyong’s private invitation to Shoukang Palace by Shi Fuyin immediately: "Yong’an seldom goes out of Shoukang Palace, why would you want to invite a beautiful girl to come and talk?"
The Empress Dowager was silent for a while: "Ziqing and Yong'an are both sensible. They must have their own reasons for doing so. Since they don't want me to know, I have the right to pretend not to know."
The palace selection is on the first day of December, and as the day of the palace selection draws closer, the show girls are becoming more and more impatient. Even though the nuns strictly forbid them to go out of Chuxiu Palace privately, there are still many show girls walking around .
On the day before the palace election, there was a commotion.
"My God, Dongfang Yunrong has been assigned to the sixth prince."
"What?!"
Shi Fuyin and Xia Houhuan looked at each other face to face.
Xiahou Huanyan was somewhat dissatisfied because of Dongfang Changqing's refusal, and immediately snorted coldly: "Say one thing and do another, hypocrite."
When she saw it, Fuyin was puzzled and explained, "The Dongfang family has publicly stated that the women of the Dongfang family will not marry the royal family, and the men will not marry royal women."
"Now that Dongfang Yunrong has been assigned to the sixth prince, aren't they slapping themselves in the face?"
Shi Fuyin was not very interested in the affairs of these wealthy dukes, and did not talk much about them.
Dongfang Yunrong was accused of being the concubine of the sixth prince. This was beyond everyone's expectations, so that there was less discussion about the results of the palace election on the first day of December.
"The Duke of Ming Dynasty has always been a neutral royalist, and now they are mixed with the prince, how will they deal with themselves in the future?"
While everyone was discussing why the Duke of Ming Dynasty made such a wrong move, the Wuchang House was also silent because of Shi Fuyin's defeat and Shi Fuyue's accusation of serving as a servant for the Seventh Prince.
After Shi Fuyue was accused of handing over to the Seventh Prince, she was carried directly to the Seventh Prince's Mansion without even entering the door of the Bo's Mansion.
Because of this, the people in Wufang felt very complicated.
The selection of the prince's servant, who is in the same concubine's room, even if he wants to meet his family in the future, he has to ask the seventh prince's concubine for permission.
In the end, it was Mrs. Shi who spoke up and asked Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Fifth to prepare a dowry for Shi Fuyue.
During this period of time in the palace, Shi Fuyin's heart was always on the alert. After returning home, she relaxed: "Zeng Ruoyun was favored by the emperor, named a talent, and lived in the Palace of Yanxi Palace."
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Then the Zeng family will probably be very happy."
Shi Fuyin told Shi Fuxin in detail about the things she encountered in the palace: "I found that the battles inside the palace are more severe than those outside, just like the selection of the palace this time, it feels like it's a multi-party game result."
"The Duke of the Ming Dynasty has never been involved in disputes between princes, but this time Dongfang Yunrong was discovered to have a tryst with the sixth prince in the Imperial Garden. People have to wonder if Dongfang Yunrong has been tricked."
Shi Fuxin didn't pay attention to this: "Dongfang Yunrong pointed it out to the sixth prince, so what should Chu Yao do?" Before that, Chu Yao declared with great fanfare that he wanted to marry Dongfang Yunrong. "
Shi Fuyin shrugged her shoulders: "What else can I do? Although Chu Yao is also a child of the royal family, the father of the sixth prince is the emperor, so I can only swallow this breath obediently."
Shi Fuxin showed sympathy: "This poor child." She worked so hard to fight for the royal family, but now she is fine, the wife she liked was cut off.
Shi Fuyin didn't hear clearly: "What? Who is pitiful?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head: "No one is pitiful, I just think that no matter what time it is, people must love themselves first, and don't do stupid things like sacrificing themselves to illuminate others. It's not certain to repay this thing."
