Chapter 192: Fanning the Flames

As far as Liu Ting's heart is concerned, she really may not like An Shicheng to the point of not marrying a gentleman.

It can only be said that everything is made and made people.

She was almost a person who was about to become the queen, and her high heart was naturally very incomparable, but not only did she not become a queen in the end, but she was also disgusted by An Shicheng, and would rather marry a country girl than her.

This is a deep blow to Liu Ting, she is too conceited, how can she accept such a setback, so she gritted her teeth and rushed to get in front of An Shicheng and became close to An Shiping.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

An Shiping is a literati who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting on the surface, but he is also a child of the royal family, so he is naturally uncomfortable.

That's fine, but there is a girl who has been serving him since he was a child and is in love with him, and he has already taken the house earlier, and is waiting to marry a girl from a low-income family as a wife in the future.

In his previous life, he chose Qiu Yujuan.

Qiu Yujuan was provoked by the Song family and others, and Qiu Ruyi's sisters turned against each other, and lost to Qiu Ruyi in the competition for the family affairs of the Lu State Mansion.

It is also the fate of the two, when Qiu Yujuan was in the capital in this life, she attracted An Shiping's attention again, but this life is different from the previous life, Qiu Yujuan naturally will not go to solicit An Shiping, so she hurriedly returned to her hometown, An Shiping did not have to her, so she also put her hand away.

By the time An Shiping heard the news of Qiu Yujuan again, Qiu Yujuan was already the princess of the Liang Palace.

I don't want An Shiping to drink alcohol this day. Looking at the scenery of the garden, for some reason, I actually thought of Qiu Yujuan, and I couldn't help but praise her while taking advantage of the wine.

An Shiping's concubine was a well-behaved person, and she persuaded a few words of persuasion, but unfortunately Liu Ting was coming and listened to it.

She was having trouble with An Shiping these days, and at this time she thought that she was justified, so she stepped forward to ridicule the An brothers for their cheap bones. I only like to marry those country girls from low backgrounds. Especially An Shiping, who was even more outrageous, even more vainly remembered that his future sister-in-law was coming.

This pole went down, not only scolded An Shiping. even hit the Liang Wangfu, the Lu Guogong Mansion and the Anguo Mansion in succession. It was so frightened that the concubine's face turned white. An Shiping was also furious, and sneered: "My fair lady, the gentleman is good." I praised her a few words, and it wasn't a violation. But if you have a little benefit, An Shicheng will not have to beg the country girl of the Qiu family, you should have been my cousin-in-law at this time, you are so resentful of the Qiu family's daughter, aren't you still thinking of An Shicheng?"

In her previous life, An Shiping also used this handle to stimulate Qiu Yujuan, Qiu Yujuan was shy in the end, although she had never seen An Shicheng, and it was impossible for her to be emotional about An Shicheng, but she was seeking the family affairs of the Duke of Lu's mansion, and her own virtue was at a loss, so she didn't dare to talk back at this time, and she was trampled under the feet of the concubine.

But Liu Ting was not, she ignored it and wanted to beat her upside down, not to mention that she was just unwilling and not deeply rooted in her affection for An Shi, so when she heard her husband say this, she pounced on her and fought with An Shiping.

The girls and mothers-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to pull the frame, An Shiping's clothes had been torn a few times, fortunately his face was not injured, and it was easy to break free, An Shiping scolded "crazy", and walked out of the inner courtyard with a flick of his sleeves.

Liu Ting also felt bored, so she went back to the room to freshen up, looking at the face in the mirror was not as bright as before, and couldn't help but think that Qiu Ruyi, who she met by chance a few days ago, seemed to look better than before, and these days I have heard people mention Qiu Ruyi's infinite scenery.

Liu Ting secretly hated in her heart, why did she live so happily if she had such a hard life.

Liu Ting threw down the comb in her hand, thought about it a few times, and said, "Let people prepare the car, I want to go to the palace to see my aunt." ”

Coincidentally, Empress Dowager Liu has always had a rare time to spare, but today she had half a day of free time, and when she heard that Liu Ting asked to see her, she ordered someone to summon her into the palace.

After Liu Ting entered the hall, she saw her aunt leisurely pruning the flowers and plants, Liu Ting took two steps closely, stepped forward and saluted: "Ting'er has seen my aunt." ”

Empress Dowager Liu said with a smile while cutting flower branches: "Why do you have time to come to see your aunt today, the first few times I summoned you, you said that you couldn't get out, and I don't know what you are busy with." ”

It turned out that the Great Chu Dynasty should be prosperous, and this time the husband and young talents of the Jinshi were quite talented, and the Empress Dowager Liu hoped that the girls of the Liu family could marry her, so she summoned several Liu women into the palace.

Liu Ting has always been close to the Empress Dowager Liu, although she caused a lot of trouble for the family affairs of the Lu Guogong Mansion in the past, but with the passage of time, that matter is not a matter, and the Empress Dowager Liu let her enter the palace together.

Last time, many of Liu's daughters were married by the Empress Dowager Liu and the children of the An family, and in the past two years, there have been one or two girls who have grown up, but they don't look down on those poor scholars, so this time they only picked a few girls from Liu's side branches, Liu Ting came to suspect that they entered the palace with them, which damaged their identity and dignity, and then they also knew that entering the palace must be admonished by their aunt to abide by women's morals, and they were extremely reluctant to enter the palace, so they relied on their aunt's usual favor and found an excuse not to enter the palace, and compared with the glory of being summoned by the Queen Mother, daring to refuse the Queen Mother's summons and not being condemned is a really face-saving thing。

When asked at this time, Liu Ting smiled and said: "Ting'er doesn't dare to be with them, so they don't have to complain." ”

Empress Dowager Liu said curiously: "Why do they complain about you?"

Liu Ting sighed: "It's all because Ting'er was rash for a while, caused trouble, and made trouble with Qiu Ruyi, and even the entire Liu family was looked down upon, because of the dignity of the aunt and the military exploits of the uncles, they didn't hold their heads high wherever they went, but now they have to restrain their temperament and behave as a man, how can they not hate Ting'er in their hearts." ”

Empress Dowager Liu frowned, stopped the bamboo scissors in her hand, and said unhappily: "That matter has long passed, what are you doing with it." The Qiu family and the Lu Guogong Mansion will not dare to do this in front of people anymore, and they don't dare to be disrespectful when they see your sister on weekdays. ”

Liu Ting sighed lightly: "My aunt is the most noble person in the world, how do I know that there is no shortage of people in this world." If only Qiu Ruyi marries into the Lu Guo Mansion, it is nothing, and the daughters of the Qiu clan climbed to the Liang Wangfu and the Anguo Mansion respectively, plus this time there are several Jinshi in the Qiu family, such as today, everyone talks about this Qiu family is worthy of being a century-old family, it has only been silent for decades, and it will be revived in the near future, and it will become the first family in the world again. Therefore, now everyone in the capital only looks at one Qiu family, where can they see the Liu family. ”

When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, she glanced at Liu Ting carefully, there was a hint of majesty in her eyes, and she smiled lightly: "Ting'er is really different when she marries, and she dares to fool her aunt." ”

Liu Ting hurriedly said: "Ting'er has always revered her aunt, and she doesn't dare to be false in front of her aunt. ”

Empress Dowager Liu didn't believe it, and said: "You see Qiu Ruyi's life being sweet, and you are not convinced, so you come to make it bad." According to my aunt's opinion, you still put your mind on yourself and An Shiping, get along well with the relationship between the two, and give birth to a son as soon as possible, and you won't lose to anyone. ”

As soon as Liu Ting heard that she would "give birth to a son as soon as possible", the anger in her heart soared.

An Shiping no longer entered her house except for the night in the cave room, how could she give birth to a son.

It turned out that An Shiping and the concubine had a strong affection, and he promised to let the concubine give birth to the eldest son, but also to suppress Liu Ting's arrogance, and deliberately did it.

Although Liu Ting is arrogant, she is not stupid, after these days, she has long understood An Shiping's plan, and she can't help but spit on her husband in her heart.

If he is really a responsible person, why not abandon the eyes of the worldly people and marry that concubine as his wife?

He didn't dare to offend Liu, knowing that he was moral, he still married himself. It is necessary to know that there is a difference between wives and concubines, if it is someone else, it may be a cover, but he is not at the mercy of others, so the relationship between the two is getting more and more stiff.

Of course, all this was blamed by Liu Ting on An Shicheng and his wife.

I saw Liu Ting coquettishly saying to the Empress Dowager Liu: "Even if Ting'er brought private goods, it is also for the sake of the An family and the Liu family." Aunt, you think: Now the marriage of the three daughters of the Qiu family should not be underestimated, and the Lu Guogong Mansion is not enough, but it is connected to General Yuan, the Anguo Mansion and the Liang Wangfu, these three families can hold the military power and have great prestige in the army. Seeing that the children of the Qiu clan have won the jinshi, most of them are unmarried, as long as they have a good ranking in the palace examination this time, they can enter the Hanlin Academy, and decades later, they will be the ministers of the humerus of the central court, hello The Chinese ministers of the DPRK will not let go of these good son-in-law candidates? After coming and going, the Qiu clan actually connected with the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK, and at the critical moment, it became a trend of a hundred responses, and my aunt must not be on guard. ”

Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but be picked up by Liu Ting these days, and at this time she only smiled and said: "That's it, you will be alarmist, if you say this, in the future, the world will only know the Qiu family and not the emperor and the Liu family." You haven't been to the palace for a long time to play, but there are a lot of new scenery in the imperial garden, and my aunt still has some things to deal with here, so you go to play with the female official, and my aunt will be there in a while. ”

Liu Ting couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Aunt must take precautions, and don't let the Qiu family go on like this." ”

Empress Dowager Liu couldn't be entangled, so she had to say: "Come on, let's go, my aunt promises you, the palace will not raise any of the Qiu family's disciples, and frustrate Qiu Ruyi's pride, so that you can still be satisfied." ”

When Liu Ting heard this, she was satisfied with the palace people to play, leaving the Empress Dowager Liu there thoughtfully.

At this time, a little eunuch came to report: The emperor has woken up and asked the queen mother to come over.

Empress Dowager Liu hurriedly handed the bamboo scissors to the palace people around her and hurriedly went to see her son.

At this time, Emperor Changxing's spirit was acceptable, so he asked his mother to sit down and said straight to the point: "My son's body will not recover for a while, but I tried it in the palace early, and the heart of the people in the world is to be safe." At this time, a little eunuch came to report: The emperor has woken up, please ask the queen mother to come over.

Empress Dowager Liu hurriedly handed the bamboo scissors to the palace people around her and hurriedly went to see her son.

At this time, Emperor Changxing's spirit was acceptable, so he asked his mother to sit down and said straight to the point: "My son's body will not recover for a while, but I tried it in the palace early, and the heart of the people in the world is to be safe." (To be continued......)
