Chapter 4 The Pavilion is ruthless
On the fifth day of the first month of the lunar month, the princess returned to the door, and the second day happened to be the 60th birthday of the Duke of Fuguo, who was not only the father-in-law of the emperor, but also grew up with the emperor and fought in the north for the south of Dajing.

And Western Qin originally had a general who could be as famous as the Duke of Fuguo, but he died in the spring of this year, so the prince's wedding will have King Qi to congratulate him.
At the beginning of the morning, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Fuguo Gate, and the endless stream of guests could be seen in its status.
In the back garden of Fuguo Gong, the ladies of each family gathered together in twos and threes, Su Qingluan, Mei Ruohua, Qu Zitian and the maids chatted in a pavilion, because it was winter, the curtain was hung around the pavilion to block the cold, and there was a coquettish smile from time to time in the pavilion.
"Yumei, Yulan, you go and change two hand stoves. The palace maid beside Su Qingluan handed out two exquisite hand stoves, but it was Mei Ruohua and Qu Zitian's hand stoves that were cold.
In the pavilion, Su Qingluan supported his chin with one hand and lay on the stone table covered with a blanket, "I don't know when Cousin Yihua and Qingyuan will come back, they didn't rush back to the next wedding, and now my grandfather's birthday has not arrived." After speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and gently took a sip of sweet tea.
Mei Ruohua smiled, "This time, Yihua and the third prince were sent by His Majesty to inspect Jiangnan, and many matters may not be returned to Beijing until after the year." "Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, most of the grain in Dajing is produced in Jiangnan, but in recent years, the grain harvest has become less and less, and this year's war with Xiqin is tight, but the supply of grain and grass is not available. Autumn is the time of the grain harvest, how can there be no food?
When I checked the grain depot, I found that the grain stored in the grain depot was only 40% of the reported grain, and all of it was damp and moldy grain. Emperor Long Yan was furious, and immediately dismissed all the officials in charge of the grain depot from their posts, and pulled out the collusion between the ministers in Beijing and the officials in Jiangnan to swallow the grain and grass and sell it to others. The emperor thought of the war between Western Qin and Dajing, and the water and soil of Western Qin had always been inferior to that of Dajing, and the grain was often not enough for the people to eat. Therefore, although Western Qin has a general who can compete with the Auxiliary Guogong, it has always been the reason why Dajing's subordinates are defeated.
At that moment, the emperor sent the five princes and Mei Yihua to Jiangnan to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Qu Zitian also heard about this matter, and was about to speak, but heard someone outside approaching here, although Dajing did not say that women would not be allowed to interfere in politics, but she had just married the prince and discussed these things, so that people with a heart listened to it after all, so they stopped, and the people outside seemed to mention the prince and himself in the conversation, and Su Qingluan and Mei Ruohua naturally heard it. The three of them didn't speak for a while, quietly listening to what the people outside were saying.
The two palace maids guarding outside the pavilion went to exchange hands for Mei Ruohua and Quzi, and they had not yet returned, and there were heavy gauze curtains around the pavilion, so that people not far away thought that there was no one in the pavilion, so they spoke without scruples.
Three women in gorgeous clothes walked slowly from the stone path with a few maidservants, and one of them, a woman in a purple dress with a beautiful face, while twisting the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, gritted her teeth and said, "What kind of thing is she who is so good that she married the prince and became the crown princess! If it weren't for the fact that the prince had studied with her father since she was a child, and let her use fox tricks to seduce the prince, would she also be worthy of being the crown princess?"
And the two women who followed her were frightened when they heard the words of the woman in purple and hurriedly looked left and right, fortunately, this place was remote and no one passed by, otherwise her words just now would be enough to cure a charge of disrespecting the royal family. No matter how Qu Zitian said that he had married into the royal family and was a member of the royal family, the words of the woman in purple were very disrespectful!
The woman in purple saw that the two friends looked nervous, and said disdainfully, "Look at what scares you, what's so scary, Qu Zitian can still eat us?"
Seeing this, the woman in the blue dress on the left opened her mouth to persuade, "Oh, I said Ziyu, now that the wood is in the boat, Qu Zitian is already the crown princess, you don't have to be open-mouthed in the future." ”
"Yes," the woman in the blue dress on the other side also said, "In this world, there are many people in this world except for the prince and good men, I think the king of the Northern Qi Kai at the banquet that day is good, and he looks quite handsome!"
The woman in blue couldn't help but echo when she heard the mention of King Yuan, "Yes, that King Yuan is really handsome, and he is the best-looking man I have ever seen." ”
"I'm not uncommon to be a Yuan King", the woman in purple interrupted the words of the two of them and raised her legs and walked to the steps outside the pavilion, "Even if it is a side concubine for the prince, I will marry the prince, and then the Yuan King, my eyes kept looking at the widow and the eldest princess all night, it was really visionless, the widow who had lost her husband and child had into the man's pile since she was a child, and she was still holding it in the palm of her hand as a treasure, if it were me, I would have hanged my neck a long time ago, and I still have a living ......face."
"Shut up!"
"Presumptuous!"
Two voices came at the same time, making several people frightened, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the comer. Seeing the prince and the king of Yuan, Su Qingyu appeared on the other side of the stone path with anger on his face, looking at his face, the words of the few people just now were all listened to by them.
Just when a few people were frightened and froze in place, not knowing what to do, a plain white hand stretched out from behind the curtain, gently opened the curtain, and Su Qingluan, dressed in a big red phoenix palace dress, slowly appeared in front of the woman in purple, looking at her with a gentle smile on her stunning face. Behind her stood the crown princess, Qu Zi and Mei Yihua.
"Ahh
"Imperial sister?" The three princes didn't expect Su Qingluan to be in the pavilion, and they couldn't help but be even more annoyed with the stupid pig-like woman in front of them.
The crown prince and Su Qingyu walked quickly to the pavilion, while King Yuan looked at the scene in front of him with an inexplicable smile, not knowing how she would deal with such a situation.
"Prince. Qu Zitian and Mei Yihua bowed to the prince. and signaled to Su Qingyu the "Nine Emperor Princes"
"King Yuan. Su Qingluan and the three of them were a little surprised by King Yuan's appearance, but they didn't forget to nod their heads.
"The eldest princess, the crown princess, the princess. King Yuan humbly and politely returned the salute.
After Su Qingluan and the prince finished their polite exchanges, they turned their heads to look at the three who had already fallen to their knees in fright, "You are the second lady of Jiang Ge's hometown?"
"Yes......" The woman in blue who was mentioned by name stiffened.
"Are you the fifth lady of Liu Shangshu's family?" The other woman whose name was mentioned was also startled, and it seemed that she was going to cut them first.
"You two like King Yuan very much?" Su Qingluan's rose-colored mouth spit out such a sentence that he didn't want to do!
The two didn't expect Su Qingluan to ask like this, they were both stunned, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and the woman in Tsing Yi hurriedly said, "Don't dare, the courtiers don't like King Yuan." ”
The woman in blue was also busy saying, "No, no, the courtier just talked casually." ”
The two of them were busy as if they were going to marry him if they were going to marry him slowly, which made the corners of King Yuan's eyes twitch, and the woman in Dajing was also half-hearted, the one in green clothes, didn't you just praise King Ben for being quite handsome? And the one in blue clothes, didn't you say that King Ben is the most handsome man you have ever seen? Why did it change in this moment?
Su Qingluan ignored the wonderful expression on the face of King Yuan on the side, and said, "Then what are you still doing here, why don't you leave quickly!"
The two didn't expect Su Qingluan to let them go so easily, although they didn't say anything disrespectful to the royal family, but they came with the woman in purple. Usually you suffer from it, don't you?" Her Royal Highness Princess Xie. ”
Seeing the two of them and their respective maidservants almost crawling away from the gazebo that looked like a ghost gate in their eyes, the woman in purple turned pale and kept kowtowing, "The princess spares her life, spares her life, ...... spare her life"
When the prince saw the woman in purple who was still unashamed to speak so much, the anger in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. First of all, no matter if she insults Su Qingluan, she dares to slander the current crown princess's remarks, and she will be punished for the crime of disrespecting the royal family. It is very hateful that Su Qingluan dared to say such a thing.
Those were Su Qingluan's still bleeding wounds, the most painful and untouchable places for her, but they were said in such a deliberately insulting way, it was really not enough to die ten thousand times.
"It is really whimsical to say such a rebellious thing and dare to live. "The prince should put her to death," and he took her down and killed with a rod. ”
"Don't, I don't dare anymore, spare me, spare me. The woman in purple was so frightened that she kowtowed desperately on the ground, and in a moment the ground was red with blood.
King Yuan on the side also froze, he thought that the young Prince Dajing would let the young Prince Dajing put the woman in prison first, leaving it for the emperor or empress to decide, but he didn't want him to be killed with a cane when he opened his mouth. It seems that the eldest princess Su Qingluan is his reverse scale, sacrosanct. Perhaps, the Nine Emperor Princes attached more importance to this eldest princess than the crown prince, and that look was afraid that he was trying to suppress him from stepping forward and killing the woman in front of him with one palm now, although she really deserved to die.
"Prince, you accompany King Yuan to the front hall to sit down first, these little things, the imperial sister will solve them. Su Qingluan looked at this younger brother of a fellow mother, and said with a smile, "A dignified man, how can you be like a woman, don't let King Yuan see and laugh." ”
The prince was stunned for a moment, and instantly made her mean, he was the prince of a dignified country, but he still couldn't learn to be happy and angry, and his face was ashamed for a moment, and he hesitated, "Yes, the imperial sister taught me a lesson." He turned to King Yuan and smiled, "Let King Yuan see and smile, today is the birthday of the Duke of Fuguo, let's go to the front hall and sit for a while!"
King Yuan knew that this was a disguised way to drive him away, so he also said, nodded to Su Qingluan and the others, and said, "Then the king will leave." ”
"King Yuan walks slowly. Su Qingluan also politely replied.
Su Qingyu stood silently, obviously not planning to leave, Su Qingluan didn't speak, people who knew each other knew that this Nine Emperor Prince was basically Su Qingluan's shadow, if it weren't for the recent prince's wedding, the emperor ordered him to accompany the prince to receive foreign guests, he would have stayed three feet away from Su Qingluan's side at all times.
After the crown prince and King Yuan walked away, Mei Ruohua asked, "Luan'er, how do you plan to punish such a rebellious person?"
Qu Zitian is not easy to speak at this time, because she was the first to be insulted just now, if she speaks, it will make people think that she is angry, so don't say it.
Su Qingluan slowly walked down the steps and stood in front of the woman in purple, "Your grandfather is the head of the cabinet, and he has the important task of approving Zhou Zhang on behalf of his father, and your father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he did not discipline you well. It seems that both of them are in vain, this official, don't do it, what do you say?"
The woman in purple listened to Su Qingluan's words, and only felt like falling into an ice cave, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"I should have killed you with a rod according to what the prince said, but today is the birthday of the Duke of Fuguo, and it is not appropriate to see blood. As she spoke, Su Qingluan slowly walked in front of her, and the phoenix embroidered with gold thread in the big red palace costume emitted a charming halo in the sun, and as Su Qingluan walked, the phoenix seemed to come to life.
Just when the woman in purple thought that she could escape, Su Qingluan didn't say anything to play, "So you can live one more day, and at noon tomorrow, you will be killed with a cane." ”
The woman in purple collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, rolled her eyes, and fainted!
