Chapter 3: The Turmoil
Zhou Yanan slept in the palace until he woke up naturally, and the life of rice worms who counted the money and counted the cramps in his hands soon came to an end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Xia Mei and Shen Mei met on the Jiuqu Bridge on a narrow road, they did not give in to each other.
And the fight began.
It is said that the two quarreled first. Shen Meiren was very excited, so she pointed at Xia Meiren with a jade slender onion branch. Xia Meiren's palace maid was anxious, so she pushed Shen Meiren away. Of course, Shen Meiren's palace maid can't see her master suffer. So, the palace maids started fighting.
Xia Meiren's mistake was that she only took one palace maid to visit the garden, while Shen Meiren brought two. So after a while, one of the palace maid's green satin shoes was trampled off, the hairpin was faded, and there were a few centipede-like scratches on her neck.
Xia Meiren was so angry for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she went up and slapped her ears wildly. Shen Meiren's two palace maids didn't dare to fight back, so they had to hide desperately while waiting for an opportunity to come up with Xia Meiren's palace maids.
Shen Meiren saw that her palace maid's arrogance suddenly went three points, and she was unilaterally beaten and scolded by Xia Meiren, so she didn't follow it, rolled up her sleeves and rushed up.
Whenever the literati of this dynasty talked about the "martial arts" between women, they often naively thought that it must be a glamorous and moving scene. What a twist of willow waist, soft and thick pink white belly, fleshy buttocks and buttocks, white legs, and some indescribable places.
If they were lucky enough to live in Lou Wangshu's era, they would find that if women didn't fight, they would have staged a full martial arts. Pulling hair, grabbing, pinching, tearing, biting...... Do anything. If Lou Wangshu goes to catch the traitor first, even if she is very self-contained, it will be difficult not to fight.
No matter how delicate the hibiscus noodles are, they will be hideous when they are clawed, and the fragrant cherry mouth will become vulgar once it is rude.
After this incident, the masters of the palace finally understood why Zhou Shizhong was a huge group of people every time he went out: fighting or scolding was extremely advantageous, this was one of them; second, he could ask for support when he entered, and he could block the scene when he retreated. The harem became popular, and it was fashionable to travel with all the palace people. For a while, the Imperial Garden was almost crowded. Of course, that's an afterthought.
Two beauties with golden branches and jade leaves fought in a group with the palace maids. The people in the palace soon knew. Concubine Zhang Shun and Concubine Xie Rou didn't dare to take care of it, for fear that they would be blamed for overstepping their authority if they didn't manage it well, and they would ask for a punishment; the Queen Mother only thought that there was no such thing, but she sent An Zhu, who was powerful next to her, to Qixiang Palace to send flowers.
An Zhu tactfully informed the intention. Zhou Yanan sighed, feeling that the Queen Mother was still in charge. She took the money from the palace, and she should take care of it.
When Zhou Yanan rushed to the Imperial Garden, he was thinking about whether he could ask Ling Heng for a bamboo banner with a few big characters embroidered on it:
Emotional disputes, find Zhou Yanan.
Slim down, find Zhou Yanan.
Infertility, look for Zhou Yanan.
She planned to have one eunuch carry a bamboo banner and another person to sing allegro and advertise for her.
Zhou Yanan didn't put much effort into separating the two, because Shen Meiren fell into the water. Xia Meiren probably suddenly felt that although she had won the beating, she was not easy to explain, so she was in a hurry, so she jumped into the water.
She is very smart, because Zhou Yanan really won't punish her again.
She can drink water, so she doesn't have to worry about her life.
When Zhou Yanan came over, she saw Shen Meiren struggling in the water, Xia Meiren was quietly hugging the bridge pillar, and their palace maid was still in a stunned state.
Without her command, the eunuch who knew the water jumped into the water and scooped up the two masters. Zhou Yanan led them to Wanchun Pavilion to change their clothes, and asked the reason.
The two masters trembled, one by one, still staring, with thick voices, like black-boned chickens, and their words were not clear.
Zhou Yanan thought to himself, these two people were all hung with colors, if they had scars, they couldn't stay in the palace to serve Ling Heng, so they had to winch their heads and send them to the nunnery. Therefore, I don't want to punish them.
Who would have expected that Shen Meiren would actually diagnose the happy pulse.
Zhou Yanan was very speechless about this.
Shen Meiren is so confused that she doesn't even know if she is pregnant, and she actually fights with Xia Meiren, and it is said that she is quite equal.
And Shen Meiren's dragon fetus inherited Shen Meiren's strong side: she was punched and kicked, and tossed in the water for a while, but the fetus was stable.
Zhou Yanan said to others, this child has a hard life, and Shen Meiren must be blessed in the future.
Xia Meiren is both envious and afraid.
Shen Meiren was pregnant with Ling Heng's first child on the throne, this kind of blessing was something that others could not envy, and she began to be glad that she only brought a palace maid, except for pushing Shen into the water, it did not hurt her roots. She is soft-spoken, but she can't afford to hurt the dragon fetus.
Shen Meiren fell asleep. Zhou Yanan didn't allow others to tell her about Ximai. This is because Shen Meiren is in a state of stress and is mentally stimulated. She had to calm down before she could tell her. Otherwise, she may not be physically able to cope with the re-stress.
Zhou Yanan did this with evidence. Ancient psychologists have found in their studies that when an animal adapts to a stressor, such as an electric shock, and introduces a new stressor, such as extreme cold, the animal dies quickly because the body's resources are so overused that it can no longer mobilize the body to defend against the new stressor. Here's what she just learned last night.
Zhou Yanan didn't want to see the happy event turn white.
Natsumi is very grateful. Because no matter whether Shen Meiren really doesn't know that she is happy, or pretends not to know, she can't use pregnancy as a raft anymore, saying that Xia Meiren caused her to have fetal gas, or Qiao Zhang is doing it, shouting that she is uncomfortable here and there. Even if he didn't name him, didn't others know that this was Xia Meiren's pot?
Xia Meiren asked herself, her skin has not been thick enough to a certain extent, and she can not blush and beat her heart in response to this silent accusation. Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched her face.
The imperial doctor whispered to Zhou Yanan that Shen Meiren's body was conceived about two months ago.
After speaking, he carefully looked at Zhou Yanan's face. Who is not a human spirit in the palace?
A sarcastic smile bloomed on Zhou Yanan's lips. From the perspective of others, they only thought that she was rejoicing that Shen Meiren was pregnant. She lowered her eyelids, and the Imperial Physician could not see the sorrow that flashed in her eyes.
Two months ago, not long after the death of the crown princess.
Sister, in order to give birth to this man, you don't even want your life.
Is it worth it?
Zhou Yanan didn't have time to think more about this issue, she had to rush to tell the Queen Mother and Ling Heng about Shen Meiren's pregnancy. She didn't say that the two beauties were jealous and made a big fight, but only said that the palace maid of Shen Meiren and the palace maid of Xia Meiren quarreled over a trivial matter. The two masters have also scolded now, and Shen Meiren has also been diagnosed with a two-month pregnancy.
There was a faint joy on the Queen Mother's face. Zhou Yanan knew that she was actually very happy in her heart. Zhou Hui is already the queen mother, and she no longer cares about political affairs, and teasing her grandson is the greatest pleasure of the rest of her life. She said a word of appreciation. An Zhu opened the box and found a two-foot Changqing white jade carved Guanyin. The queen mother bowed her head, so she asked someone to take it to open the light, and then send it to Shen Meiren.
Ling Heng showed a thoughtful expression. Zhou Yanan couldn't bear to stay alone with him for a moment now, so he found an excuse to leave.
After she returned to the palace, she drove all the people of Qixiang Palace out of the main hall, sat in the dark, and wept silently.
No one would know that she once respected Ling Heng as if she were her own father.
Zhou Yanan didn't see her sister Zhou Yin until she was five years old.
That day, Ling Heng took Zhou Yin to sneak out of the East Palace to play. The two ate and drank enough on the street, and Zhou Yin proposed to go to the place where he was born and raised.
Zhou Ren took the Zhang family to the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion for a banquet, and there was no one who could come forward to entertain the crown prince and the crown princess.
The subordinates of the Zhou Mansion welcomed the two uninvited guests in fear.
Zhou Yin didn't treat himself as a guest at all, and walked around at random, seeing that the house he lived in before his marriage had already changed to Zhang's daughter as the host. secretly slandered that the Zhang family dared to let a stinky female baby live in her house, and she was not afraid of losing her fortune.
The main house where her mother lived was occupied by the Zhang family without any suspense. Zhou Yin admired Zhang's heart very much, and he lived in the house he had lived in every day, and he didn't panic.
When she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that she had another sister.
Zhou Yin really has no feelings for this sister. She was married before Zhou Yanan was born, and she never hugged her once. So on a whim, I wanted to see what her sister looked like, and what she looked like.
Who would have thought that the girl hadn't seen it yet, but first saw a girl dressed as a demon with her waist crossed, standing on the threshold and scolding her mother-in-law.
Zhou Yin's face suddenly turned red.
Ling Heng grabbed her hand with lightning speed.
The girl boldly looked at Zhou and Ling, as if thinking about something, and finally left nonchalantly. She walked and turned back. Zhou Yin saw her holding her index finger in her mouth, and let out a "giggle" laugh. The golden ring she gave to Zhou Yanan was worn on the girl's body.
Zhou Yanan leaned on the half-new autumn fragrance pigmented brocade pillow to read a book. She has an ivory, delicate face, which is not always brighter and more beautiful than Zhou Yin.
Zhou Yin saw that her clothes fit well, she was the same as she was back then, and her complexion was good. It can be seen that Zhang's did not treat her sister badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But then, Zhou Yanan's skillful and immature flattery when he asked for peace deeply stung Zhou Yin.
Zhou Yin was favored when he was in his mother's house. After marrying into the prince's mansion, her family background, appearance, and character are all first-class, and she only feels that everything is as she wishes.
She naturally thought that her sister was like this, she could be willful, even if the sky fell, someone would carry her around.
Zhou Yin found that she was ridiculously wrong.
She immediately took Zhou Yanan back to the East Palace. Her Zhou Yin's sister, how can she look at other people's faces and beg for life.
Zhou Yanan has since become half of the master of the East Palace. Ling Heng and Zhou Yin have no children. He has always been true to his concubines, but regards Zhou Yanan as his own daughter. In less than half a year, Zhou Yanan took off her cowering appearance, and her words and deeds also returned to the coquettishness that a little girl of this age should have.
