Chapter 26 [Peony Disaster]
The Queen Mother likes peonies, especially loves the peony known as "after the flower" famous Wei Zi, the only pot of Wei Zi is specially instructed by the saint to be placed in the garden, surrounded by Shengdan furnace, Kunshan luminous, Ge Jin Zi, Zhao Fen, Erqiao, ice cover red stone, ink gold, pearl sand, Lantian jade, Hu Hong, bean green, drunken fairy peach foil, take the meaning of "the stars Gongchen", Jiang Lu is idle is a good eye, and suddenly picked the Wei Zi of the seven hundred leaves of flower flesh.
Concubine Chen exclaimed this sentence and stopped speaking, her purpose today has been half achieved, she never thought that the thousand taels of silver could put Jiang Guifei to death, she pointed out to the Empress Dowager Shen that this matter was just to bury a bane for Jiang Guifei, the real master of this matter is the saint, but what she expected was Jiang Luxian's genius stroke, which was an excellent prelude to the disaster that her aunt Jiang Guifei was about to face.
The needle drop in Yingchun Hall can be heard, Jiang Lu Xian knew that he had made a mistake again, his knees fell down weakly, the Queen Mother gasped and stared at Jiang Luxian, but ignored her and asked the prince first: "Zhen'er, what do you think should be done?"
The Empress Dowager's move is aimed at confirming the authenticity of the recent rumors of the deep affection between the crown prince and his side concubine, and what is a Wei Zi in the face of this major event? Not to mention that she doesn't have to be in front of everyone if she wants to toss Jiang Luxian, it is better to use this to explore the truth and truth, so as to find a good way for Xiao Shen to get back to the position of the crown princess.
Hearing the Queen Mother call herself, the prince hurriedly stood up from behind the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, bowed to the Queen Mother again, and said:
"Today is my grandmother's big day, don't be angry, Lu Xian is also a piece of filial piety, and my grandson hopes to forgive her. Seeing that Empress Dowager Shen frowned, she said: "But after all, she destroyed her grandmother's beloved things, and her grandson asked her to copy a thousand chapters of scriptures after returning to the palace to make up for her mistakes." ”
"Okay, well, in this case, you can take her out, and the people from all the provinces should also come, and the mourning family will rest for a while. "Empress Dowager Shen didn't believe that the prince suddenly liked Jiang Luxian, but the prince really maintained Jiang Luxian everywhere, and she didn't know if she could get into the eyes of the prince if she called Xiao Shen today. Empress Dowager Shen felt quite exhausted, and her spirit was not as good as when she was young, so she ordered to expel customers, and she really didn't want to see Jiang Luxian's face again.
The prince asked the eldest princess of Zhaoyang again, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang was happy to see her great-grandson and great-granddaughter-in-law mixing oil in honey, and she also had no grievances with Jiang Luxian such a child, except that Jiang Luxian was a little stupid and did not have any prejudice because she was a Jiang family, so she waved her hand to signal the two to go quickly, and called Xiao Weiyu to go out for a walk.
Concubine Chen knew that the two old men were going to talk privately, so she said goodbye in a witty manner, and the palace was clean.
Empress Dowager Shen raised her eyes when she heard that there was no sound around her, and she was facing the line of sight of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, and she heard Zhaoyang smile and said: "You have not grown at all, and now you are thinking about the children." ”
Suppressed, Empress Dowager Shen replied: "You don't have to look like this, although you are both an aunt and a great-grandmother, you have never been close to him over the years, the mourning family watched Chen'er grow up, watched him fall and get up again, don't you love more than you? ”
A few words were unhappily dispersed, but fortunately, it was the second half of the day, and there were cars and horses arriving outside the park one after another, and the Jujing Garden was full of people, and the dinner party slowly kicked off.
Qi Caicai also arrived at Jujing Garden at this time with Mrs. Shen Shangshu Shen and Shen Zhibai, the uncle of the second room, and when he came, he was safe, and when he got off the carriage, the palace maid stepped forward to pick him up, Qi Caicai enjoyed the scenery in the garden all the way and followed Mrs. Shen to the banquet to the Fang Palace, and Shen Zhiwei and Shen Zhibai were led in the other direction, probably to avoid the male and female guests from going to a bad etiquette.
When passing by the peony garden, Qi Caicai heard a familiar voice, it was the voice of Jiang Luxian who she hated to eat, but there was no one in sight, Mrs. Shen called her as an auditory hallucination, and left the fragrant flower garden.
The prince bent over and tied the many Wei Zi to the flower stems with black thread, Gu Xia stared at the wind everywhere, sweating anxiously, and it was not easy to urge the master, but he didn't understand why he wanted to help Concubine Jiang cover up, if the saint passed by here and found that the pot of Wei Zi was gone, wouldn't it be just right to take this opportunity to drive Concubine Jiang to Qingwu Palace!
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Gu Xia saw that Concubine Jiang who was thrown away by the prince was looking for them, and saw that the prince was picking up the pot Wei Zi ran over excitedly, Gu Xia was still struggling with whether to stop it, and Concubine Jiang fell on the road with a bang.
"Ouch, what kind of broken road is this, it tripped me to death, it hurts, Xianyun, can you help Xian'er get up?" Jiang Lu rubbed his knees and exclaimed delicately.
Gu Xia saw that the prince's hand moved when Concubine Jiang pounced, and then looked at the flat road, and said that Concubine Jiang was stupid, was she blind and couldn't see that the prince's attitude towards her was as cold as frost behind people?
Sure enough, after the prince accelerated and tied Wei Zi, he didn't even give Jiang Lu a look and walked away, it seemed that he had met a lady of a family, and there was a voice of greeting, Jiang Lu was about to speak, Gu Xia hurriedly persuaded: "Concubine Fang, do you want to provoke the saint to pay attention to this Wei Zi? What about the sycamore beside you? It's too late to change your clothes at this time, the banquet is about to start, you can follow His Highness quickly." ”
Jiang Lu held her mouth and silenced, thinking that it was the two sluts of Concubine Chen and Empress Dowager Shen who made her have a dislike for the prince, and she wanted to behave more and more at the banquet, so that those hooves who were plotting against the prince would weigh themselves clearly, Jiang Luxian now completely forgot all the wrong things he had done before, and even suspected that he might have really experienced the clouds and rain with the prince, and that child might really be the prince's, otherwise how could the prince take such care of her, this kind of false and real memory made Jiang Luxian unable to recognize himself.
Didn't wear the terrifying bronze mask anymore, the prince really became the focus, although there was a rumor in the capital that the prince was cured of eye disease, but still seeing is believing, so the wealthy family of the family was interested in the prince again, there are many people with their own daughters at this banquet, after all, if you can't become the princess, you may not be able to bump into Mrs. Hou and the princess, and Jiang Luxian, who has been domineering the prince and doesn't let people say a few words, has become a thorn in everyone's eyes.
Qi Caicai and Mrs. Shen were walking to the front of the Huifang Palace, and they watched the prince walking this way under the embrace of Jiang Luxian and many warblers and swallows.
Oh, he was relieved when she died, he didn't even wear a mask, at first she thought she knew how much of a secret he had, and felt close, but now she thinks about it all because of her hysteria, when did she really understand this man?
Don't open her face, Qi Caicai tried her best to swallow her sorrow, and pulled Mrs. Shen to the palace, Mrs. Shen also saw the situation outside, sighed lightly, who did the marriage matter accurately, patted the back of his daughter's hand, and helped each other into the door.
Outside the door, the prince seemed to feel something, but he never saw the figure he thought about day and night, and there was still a modest smile on his face, and Jiang Lu entered the hall from the other side.
