Chapter Twenty-Four: Involuntarily

The crown prince's concubine Jiang Lu stayed in Zeqing Palace for four days, and there were more rumors in the harem, Jiang Guifei was angry and scolded a lot of palace people who chewed their tongues, which was a warning to their masters, so the harem was calm on the surface.

It's just that it's rare to have something to talk about to ridicule Jiang Guifei, and not everyone is afraid of the Jiang family and dare not mention it, such as Concubine Chen, who has been quite favored by the mother family recently,

"Sister Guifei really loves the prince's side concubine, and she has been in the palace for a long time, but she has never seen Sister Guifei stay in the palace with Princess Muyang."

At this time, Concubine Chen was sitting with Jiang Guifei, Concubine De Shuxian, the prince's side concubine, and Princess Muyang in the Agarwood Pavilion of Liqin Garden to enjoy the flowers and tea.

Princess Shen Xiaone lowered her head slightly, a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes, and when she looked up again, she smiled brightly, and obediently leaned on Jiang Guifei on the side.

"Mother Concubine ~ Concubine Chen, is it true? Sons and daughters don't follow. ”

looked at the crown prince's side concubine Jiang Luxian with a cold eye, Jiang Guifei turned to caress Princess Muyang's hand affectionately and said: "How can it, love is average, if you like to go into the palace to accompany your mother, you can come." ”

Today's Jiang Lu is still in high spirits on the day he first entered the palace, so he shrank in his chair and said to Princess Muyang with flattery:

"The princess is wrong to blame the concubine, the lady talks to me about you every day, let's not see each other."

Jiang Luxian was enthusiastic, and Princess Shen Xiaone of Muyang just smiled and did not answer.

Yes, a concubine is just a side concubine, how can Shen Xiaone, the concubine, look at it in her eyes.

Shen Xiaone's father Shen Zhibai is the second son of the Shen family who is an heirloom of poetry and books, although their second room is not as beautiful as the big house, and Shen Xiaone's father is not as good as the uncle who can drill the camp, but it is precisely because Shen Zhibai has not been involved in the open and secret battles in the court, and he spends more time pondering poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, but he is more literati than Shen Zhiwei, and he is arrogant and disdainful in his bones, not Shen Zhiwei's high pretend.

Shen Xiaone and Shen Xiaoshen, two cousins, had different yearning when they were children, compared to the cowardly Xiaoshen who only liked to tinker with those useless scrolls like his father, Shen Xiaone preferred the appearance of his uncle who could bend and stretch in the officialdom to fight for fame and fortune, which also led to Shen Xiaone's inheritance of his father Shen Zhibai's coldness and arrogance, but he was more tolerant and greedy of his uncle Shen Zhiwei.

This is probably also the characteristic of the families of civil officials who think very highly of themselves.

Speaking of which, it seems to deviate from the topic that Concubine Chen is going to talk about next, Concubine Chen is not in a hurry, she took a bite of sour plum, her eyebrows were slightly raised due to the sourness, and with a shallow smile, she looked at the scenery outside the pavilion casually, as if she was waiting for something.

The delicate petals of peonies, roses, and gardenias in the garden are stacked on top of each other; Vermilion red, upside-down golden bells, pansies are faintly fragrant; Hibiscus, acacia, lilies, and hollyhocks are in full bloom; Although the hosta, bellflower, half-branch lotus, and Lingxiao have not yet bloomed, they bloomed early in the hands of the royal florist. Birds sing and flowers are fragrant, insects and frogs are singing.

But all the noise and beauty in Liqin Garden are isolated outside the Agarwood Pavilion.

The scene in the pavilion was a little cold for a moment, and the concubine saw that Jiang Guifei's face was indifferent, and she thought about it and said: "I heard that the prince seems to have some contradictions with the princess these days, and if you want me to say that this princess is also true, don't you rely on the strong folk style of Saibei to not abide by the husband's outline." ”

Concubine Chen chuckled out at this time, attracted attention, and took Concubine Shu's words and said:

"It's also interesting for the newlywed Yan'er's little couple to be noisy, the prince is only afraid that he will not scold the princess these days, so he shouldn't forget to take the concubine back to the East Palace, right?"

This question is in the middle of Jiang Guifei's sore spot, now Jiang Luxian seems to have been abandoned by the East Palace here, four days, except for the first day Jiji Emperor sent two personal maids and daily necessities, the East Palace almost ignored Jiang Luxian, the prince did not come to pick up, Jiang Luxian lost his identity when he returned to the East Palace, and he will be looked down upon by everyone in the East Palace in the future.

Concubine Shu felt the burning eyes from Jiang Guifei's direction, and she couldn't wait to slap herself, but this slap was right in Concubine Chen's arms.

Pulling the sleeve of the concubine on her side, Concubine Shu looked at her, and Concubine Xian said softly: "Sister Guifei is happy with the prince's side concubine, according to what I think, His Royal Highness the prince must be happy." ”

If it doesn't hurt or itch, it won't help much at all, and it won't solve the trap laid by Concubine Chen.

Concubine Shu was worried about Concubine Xian's inaction, but at this time, she didn't dare to show the slightest, so she could only look at Concubine De for help.

The language is sharp and unguardable.

Jiang Guifei, who had already lost her patience, replied coldly: "The prince wants to take care of the deep affection between the palace and Aunt Lu Xian, and leave her for a few more days to accompany the palace, but after all, the newlywed, the palace is not good to keep domineering, and today Concubine Chen mentioned it, and the palace had to cut her love and let Lu Xian return to the East Palace." He turned to Nan Xun and instructed: "Tell Xian'er's maid to pack up her things, and someone will send Xian'er back." ”

After speaking, Jiang Guifei glanced at Concubine Chen with a sharp look, and her well-maintained appearance was a little hideously broken, and she said impatiently:

"Today's floral fragrance is very pungent, which makes the palace disgusting, so it's gone."

Concubine Chen hooked her lips and smiled indifferently, and left alone after that, and then the three concubines of De Shuxian dispersed, and only Jiang Luxian, Princess Muyang and Jiang Guifei remained in the pavilion.

Jiang Lu glimpsed Jiang Guifei's distorted face in her spare time, and she was very frightened, and she shrank into a ball more and more, intending to hide herself from being discovered, but she loved to dress in vulgar colors such as pink and emerald green, and it was difficult for people to ignore even in the garden at this time.

Raising his hand to sweep a plate of fruits to the ground, the melons and fruits rolled on the ground and slid into the lake, plopping and listening to the palpitations, Jiang Guifei shouted to Jiang Lu:

"Why do you want this palace to send you back in person?"

Jiang Lu was startled, and when he stood up, his steps were unsteady and oblique and he was about to fall, and the direction was towards Princess Muyang, if Princess Muyang took a hand, he would not fall and eat, Jiang Lu thought so.

At the moment when Jiang Luxian's thoughts flashed in his mind, Princess Muyang looked at the side of her body with cold eyes, and Jiang Luxian fell in response.

Embarrassment, humiliation, hatred.

In this way, Jiang Luxian and Princess Muyang formed a bond, and Jiang Luxian also began to desire power and status more urgently at this time, and the desire in her heart was like a raging fire, and she also burned this fire to the East Palace.
