Chapter 574 Paving the way

The prince thought that Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Dong Cui, and Mrs. Dong's young Mrs. Cui were all ill, so they must be unable to arrange his residence, but he was very satisfied when Dong Qingyue brought him into the elegant and quiet courtyard. You can see the care in the subtleties.

After Dong Qingyue and his party left, the crown prince held a fish food box and stood in front of the large water urn with a lotus lantern floating in the yard to feed the fish, and said with a smile: "The koi lotus lantern in the water urn, Mr. Dong doesn't seem to be so useful Elegant and elegant people..."

The smiling face of the prince was reflected on the swaying surface of the water urn, and the wind rustled the branches and leaves of the ancient trees, bringing with it bursts of very sad and misty piano sounds.

The prince raised his head and listened carefully.

Quan Yu, who was standing by the side, hurriedly said: "Return to Your Highness, I have sent someone to inquire about it, and said that it is because Mrs. Dong, Madam Dong, and Mrs. Dong Shao are unable to get up from the couch, so His Highness's residence is in Mr. Dong's residence." The two concubines took great pains to..."

"Hush!" Quan Yu, who hadn't finished the prince's conversation, made a gesture in a low voice, passed the fish food in his hand to Quan Yu, and followed the sound of the piano to step out of the courtyard.

Quan Yu held the fish food in his arms, turned his head and waved to the guards guarding the corridor, and a group of people followed the prince not far or near, following in the footsteps of the prince.

The sound of the piano was getting closer and closer, and the prince stopped by the lake.

In the octagonal pavilion in the lake, white veils fluttered and candles flickered. Under the bright yellow light, a slender woman in plain clothes was playing the piano with tears in her eyes. Those who wept sadly.

A maid was holding a black lacquer tray and was about to deliver hot tea to the Huxin Pavilion. When she saw the prince and his party standing by the lake, she was so frightened that she almost dropped the teapot in her hand. She knelt down and saluted tremblingly: "Damn it, slave! Don't you!" Knowing that His Royal Highness is here, please forgive me!"

The prince stared at the woman playing the qin in the pavilion and asked, "Who is playing the qin in the pavilion?"

"Back... back to His Royal Highness, it's our girl! Our girl missed her elder brother, so she found this secluded place to play the piano." The maid said.

"What's your girl's name?" the prince asked again.

"Back to His Royal Highness, our girl...is called Dong Tingzhi."

The prince nodded, looked deeply at the woman in the octagonal pavilion, and then turned and left.

The servant girl became more and more frightened, she knelt down and did not dare to make a sound, until the prince and his party walked away, the maidservant dared to raise her head, her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand up, and she didn't know if her girl's plan would work, if not... I'm afraid that if the old lady knows what happened today, she won't be able to tolerate their girls!

The prince's eyes were full of smiles, he didn't turn his head, he paused, thought for a while, raised his hand and hooked his fingers to Quan Yu who was following carefully behind him.

Quan Yu hurriedly stepped forward with small steps: "Your Highness, please order!"

"What did you just say? The Guna courtyard...was arranged by the two concubine daughters of the Dong residence? Master Dong...does he have concubine daughters?" the prince asked.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, I heard that she and the concubine of the ancestors of the Dong family used dirty means to harm the old lady Dong, so Mrs. Dong made a rule when she was alive... The status of the concubine of the Dong family is extremely low, and the birth of a concubine and a concubine is not good news! It’s okay for this concubine to say...a concubine, since she doesn’t leave her home all the year round, no one outside knows that Dong’s family still has a concubine!” Quan Yu said.

Having said that, the crown prince thought of Dong Qingping, the Minister of Dali Temple. If he hadn't been in Dadu, no one would have known that Dong Qingping had a concubine.

The prince was still worrying about Dong Qingyue's lack of a daughter before, so he could only rely on Bai Qingyan, but he never expected that someone would come to Dong's house as soon as he arrived.

The concubine arranged his residence, and naturally knew that he could hear the octagonal lake pavilion playing the piano...

The prince curled his lips into a smile, even though the concubine was not valued in the Dong family, she was Dong Qingyue's daughter after all, so it was somewhat useful, he took off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to Quan Yu: "Go... to the concubine of the Dong family. "

Quan Yu was startled, took the jade pendant and nodded in agreement.

Bai Qingyan had just finished taking a bath, and Chun Tao was carefully changing Bai Qingyan's ear, when she heard Wang Momo leading a group of powerful women and escorting someone directly into the upper room of Mrs. Dong.

Chuntao also heard the movement. After changing Bai Qingyan's medicine, she concentrated on changing Bai Qingyan's medicine, then picked up the water basin to go out, and asked, "Miss, do you want me to ask Mother Wang if I need help?"

Bai Qingyan combed her long hair against the dowry of yellow flowers and wood with her fingers, and said slowly: "If grandma needs it, she will definitely ask Grandma Wang to call. If grandma hasn't told us, don't inquire about it at will. This is not in the Bai family, and grandma is acting. I know it."

"Yes!" Chuntao didn't want to inquire about the Dong family's privacy, but just wanted to help. After all, Mrs. Dong was already sad and fell ill because of the death of her eldest grandson Dong Changlan.

Mrs. Dong went to the room.

Mrs. Dong sat under the flickering glazed lamp, looked coldly at Dong Tingzhi, who was full of horror and was gagged, and moved the agarwood Buddhist beads hanging on her wrist, with a calm expression: "Remember that year, grandma wanted to be with you and Choose one of Ting Yun to keep by your side, and when you planned to provoke Ting Yun and let her push you into the lake, what did grandma tell you?"

Dong Tingzhi was gagged, and could only whimper continuously, wanting to kneel forward to beg for mercy, but was firmly held down by the strong nanny, unable to move.

"Grandmother once told you that although your grandfather made strict rules for concubine daughters, you are still of your own blood, so these years, grandma never intentionally left you in the backyard and was not allowed to go out!" Mrs. Dong called Moving the Buddhist beads in her hand, "Grandmother also told your aunt and you that no matter what... I will make a good marriage for you in the future. I don't want to be rich and powerful, but I must have good character and a clean family style. Let you Go to Mrs. Zhengtou! I will never take the concubine's daughter for life to pave the way for my Dong family's future, and demean you for the rest of your life."

Dong Tingzhi cried and nodded.

"You are smart, but this smartness should be used in the righteous way." Madam Dong said solemnly, "You played the piano in the octagonal pavilion today, and you attracted the prince, not because you thought you were attractive and could make the prince fall in love at first sight. , but to let the prince know...Dong Qingyue's daughter has thoughts about the prince, if the prince wants to take your father in, he can take you by his side to serve him, right?"

Dong Tingzhi cried with her head down, she couldn't explain even though her mouth was gagged.

She admitted that what Mrs. Dong said was right, she was not willing to condescend to be the head wife of an ordinary family, if she could win the favor of the prince, as long as she was favored, the prince would succeed to the throne...she would ascend to the sky in one step.

Now she is relying on Dong's family to climb up to the crown prince, won't she repay Dong's family if she is favored in the future? Can't it be the Dong family's reliance?

After thinking about it, she felt that this was a chance to fight.

The third change, asking for a monthly pass!
