84 Guns and arrows
Because he expected that there would be this day, and he was ready to deal with it, when this day and this moment really came, Yuan Chun did not have any emotional ups and downs.
She smiled faintly, stood up and blessed Princess Yizhong: "Thank you for your care." It's just that the fifth sister-in-law didn't know that when our prince went to Jiangnan last year, he met a one-eyed Taoist priest with some magical powers. The Taoist priest said: My prince was born to clash with yin people, except for his wife and mother, if he is a little closer to other women......"
She told the lie made up by Shui Xiao in general: "...... The Taoist priest also said: Our prince has been weak and sick since he was a child, because he was served by the palace maid and grandmother...... Although this statement is very bizarre, this matter is related to the life of the prince, so it is better to be cautious. If that Taoist priest really has some magical powers, and what he said is true, but I only think about my own virtuous name, and get some irrelevant yin people to collide with the prince, wouldn't it be no different from murdering my husband? ”
Empress Shen had already known about Shui Xiao's set of rhetoric through the emperor, and at this time, when she heard Yuan Chun say it with such righteousness and awe-inspiring and unchanged face, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth slightly.
In addition to her, the harem concubines, princesses and princesses in the room were all dumbfounded.
Even Princess Xiaogong, who knew a little about the truth, didn't expect Yuan Chun to use this kind of rhetoric to cover up the truth, and couldn't help but curse in her stomach: It's really a thousand-year-old fox! Cunning has become fine! Jia Yingzhou dared to say this in public, he must have discussed it with Seventeen a long time ago, and he also got the permission of his father and queen mother, right? Alas, his own prince has made a thousand calculations, and it is too late to make trouble at this time.
For Yuan Chun, Princess Xiaogong's mood is very complicated.
On the one hand, Yuan Chun healed her birth injury, freed her from that state where life was worse than death, and allowed her to serve the prince again. She was grateful to Yuan Chun.
But on the other hand, Yuan Chun looked down on her biological son, which made Princess Xiaogong very dissatisfied.
Because of Yuan Chun's identity as a "person who meets immortals" and her medical skills, status in the palace and the favor she has received, Prince Xiaogong has always wanted Yuan Chun to marry his son, so as to increase his bargaining chips. But Prince Xiaogong instructed his wife and children to do everything possible, but he sent the overlord to bow hard, and in the end he still failed to let Shui Lan get Yuan Chun's permission to marry.
Every time Shui Lan was frustrated in front of Yuan Chun, Princess Xiaogong's dissatisfaction with Yuan Chun increased by one percent. She couldn't help but think: My son, what is wrong with his character, family background, appearance, and temperament? Why don't you look down on him? You're blind, aren't you?
This dissatisfaction diluted Princess Xiaogong's gratitude to Yuan Chun bit by bit.
Later, seeing that the soft one was no longer good, the Xiaogong Mansion also set some traps for Yuan Chun, wanting to ruin Yuan Chun's reputation first or cook raw rice and mature rice, so that Yuan Chun had to marry Shui Lan.
But Yuanchun is very alert, vigilant, and never afraid of offending people, no matter whether it is soft grinding or agitation, it doesn't work on her. In addition, the palace maids and the two female guards around her are also very effective, and the traps that the Xiaogong Mansion has painstakingly set have never caught Yuan Chun.
When she was invited to a banquet, she did not come seven or eight times out of ten, and when she came, she mixed with other people, and never acted alone. Yun Luo wanted to pull her aside to "whisper" and "look at strange things", but she was never fooled, and she was able to turn the people who "whispered" and "watched strange things" into a large group. So what else can be done?
Ask her to go over to check the pulse, and the palace maids around her are like shadows, and they can't be adjusted no matter how they are adjusted. What else does she say: "Nothing must be said to people!" There is nothing that these palace maids around me don't know, and I don't need to let them avoid it. ”
I want to get her drunk, have a romantic story like "losing her body after drinking", and then invite someone to watch. But she said that if she doesn't drink, she won't drink, and she can't get oil and salt!
The toaster said, "If you don't drink, don't you look down on me?" ”
She dared to reply: "Yes! I just look down on you! "I'm not afraid of the embarrassing scene at all, but it makes the people who want to pour her wine unable to get off the stage.
If someone tried to force her to drink, she would dare to knock over the cup.
Want to drug her...... This is a class door axe, right?! The people of the Xiaogong Palace's Mansion have not been so blind!
Yun Luo was very angry with her once, so he said angrily: "It's better to knock her out and throw her on Lan'er's bed!" ”
But this can only be angry words. The palace of filial piety wants to get married, not to make enemies. Even if they wanted to make a feud, they didn't have that chance, the palace maids and guards around Jia Yuanchun were simply maggots!
No matter how clever the trap is, people don't step into the trap at all, what is the way? There are many times when Princess Xiaogong feels that Jia Yuanchun doesn't look like a little girl at all, she is simply a thousand-year-old fox who has cultivated to perfection!
In the end, the Xiaogong Mansion had no choice but to watch Yuan Chun marry into the Zhaohui Palace.
Now that Jia Yuanchun is already married, and he is still married to Prince Zhaohui, then the Xiaogong Mansion has no choice but to readjust its strategy against Jia Yuanchun.
As an insider of Yuanchun's "rules of the division", Xiaogong Wangfu revealed the news to Yizhong Wangfu, and deliberately misled a little and used Yizhong Wangfu as a gunman.
Prince Yizhong thought that this was a good opportunity to deal with King Zhaohui, and after discussing with the princess, he decided to attack today.
or uncover the truth of Yuanchun's "rules of the master", and let people know that the famous Prince Zhaohui shamelessly became someone's "son-in-law". A son-in-law who also has the face to fight for the ancestors of the "mother's family"?
If Yuanchun does not admit the "rules of the master", he will put a hat of a jealous woman on her head. If Yuanchun couldn't resist the pressure and promised to take a concubine to King Zhaohui, it would not only separate the relationship between their husband and wife, but also question the authenticity of Jia Yuanchun's "rules of the teacher...... Then there are more articles to do!
But Princess Yizhong didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, Yuan Chun directly pushed the core of the problem to the "fate"!
This...... How else can this be done?!
Also, didn't his own prince say that the Jia family did not believe in Taoist priests, and once calculated the lives of two Taoist priests, so that the Taoist sect lost face in front of the emperor, and he was also secretly punished by the emperor? How could Jia Shi be so shameless to rectify the Taoist priest with his front foot, and use the words of the Taoist priest as a cover to excuse himself? ! It's so shameless!
Princess Yizhong stayed for a long time before she came back to her senses, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she smiled and said, "When did the seventeenth brother and sister become believers in the Daomen?" If I'm not mistaken, when the seventeenth brother and sister first entered the palace as female officials, they once ...... two Taoist priests, "Speaking of this, she deliberately half-concealed and didn't finish her words."
What happened to Jia Yingzhou with the two Taoist priests? People who don't know the truth of that incident back then are all curious.
"What happened to the two Taoist priests?" Yuan Chun Zhengse said, "Why didn't the fifth sister-in-law finish her words?" Back then, I was just a swagger and deceitful who debunked two Taoist priests. How did it get into the mouth of the fifth sister-in-law, as if I had some grudge with Daomen? ”
Yuan Chun refused to admit that the two Taoist priests were real Taoist priests back then!
Those two people are just liars, not Taoist priests, so I really don't have any grudges with the Taoist! I don't have any prejudice against Taoist priests! It is not surprising to believe some of the words of the Taoist priest!
Princess Yizhong still didn't give up and asked: "How do the seventeenth brothers and sisters know that the one-eyed Taoist priest is not a swagger?" ”
Yuan Chun smiled: "I haven't seen that one-eyed Taoist priest either." But my lord said that he was quite powerful, so I naturally believed in my lord! ”
As soon as the explanation came to an end, Yuan Chun directly counterattacked Princess Yizhong and diverted everyone's attention: "The fifth sister-in-law just talked about the issue of women's morality, and I also have something I want to ask the fifth sister-in-law: There is a lady in the Yizhong Palace's mansion who had a miscarriage at the end of last year, and last month, I heard that a concubine also had a miscarriage?" The fifth sister-in-law is also a person who has given birth to children, why don't you know that pregnant women are the most taboo to work? Those pregnant ladies and concubines in the house, don't ask the five sisters-in-law to come to make rules! I heard that there have been several children in the Yizhong Mansion who have had miscarriages and died in infancy over the years? Tsk, it's so hurtful! ”
She didn't want Princess Yizhong to hold on to the affairs of Zhaohui Palace, lest she tell the "rules of the master" by the way. Although she already had a way to deal with it, if she had a choice, she still didn't want to tell a lie too smoothly in front of the queen.
Yuan Chun's words directly hit the weakness of Princess Yizhong! It also made several other princesses dare not interject easily!
In the past few years, which royal palace has not had a miscarriage or a few children have died? Not to mention the open guns and hidden arrows in the palace, just with the weak physique of women in this era and the very low medical and health conditions, there will be many little lives who have no chance to be born and have no chance to grow up.
There are also some people who are not clear, but they are not stupid, and they have already seen that this war of words is not so simple - Princess Yizhong's purpose is unknown, and Princess Zhaohui's counterattack is sharp, and they are not easy to provoke! We outsiders, if we can't mix it, we won't mix it!
Mutilating the heir is a big crime, and Princess Yizhong must defend herself!
She turned around and knelt down to the queen: "Queen Mother, what do you see what the seventeenth brother and sister said?!" The daughter-in-law has always been strict with women's morality, and she couldn't be more generous to the prince's concubines! No matter which side concubine, wife, or concubine is pregnant, they have always been told to have good births, and they have never been asked to come to the front to set rules! Jia's wronged his daughter-in-law like this...... What kind of face does the daughter-in-law have to live? Hmmmm...... Mother, you have to be the master of your daughter-in-law......" After speaking, she began to wipe her tears.
Empress Shen smiled faintly: "Okay! Today's holiday, don't make yourself crying! This palace has never cared about those things in your house, and now it can't do anything for you. If you want me to say, you're also an eventful person! Seventeen do you have any side concubines and ladies, the emperor and the palace have their own plans, what kind of grievances are you ringing? You go down and wash your face first, and then come back to the table! ”
Princess Yizhong was very bored, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she used the excuse of washing her face and retreated to hide. After a while, when I re-entered the table, my face was a little sneering, and I didn't dare to say anything more!
Returning to Zhaohui Wangfu in the evening, Yuan Chun and Shui Xiao exchanged information about today's palace banquet.
Shui Xiao smiled: "It's almost the same over there!" Prince Yizhong squeezed me, and several ignorant horses and county kings also followed. Prince Yizhong also said that he would give me a few beauties...... Of course, in the end, I didn't let Prince Yizhong ask for any bargain! Hehe, Prince Yizhong was used as a gunman by King Xiaogong this time, I don't know if he can wake up and realize that he was fooled?! ”
Yuan Chun asked: "Then what do you think: Will Prince Yizhong wake up?" ”
"Hard to say!" Shui Xiao shook his head slightly, "My fifth brother has never been very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have been used as a gunman." However, sometimes there is a layer of paper between awakening and not awakening, and it is difficult to say whether and when this layer of paper will break! ”
Yuan Chun deeply felt that Shui Xiao's words made sense. How else is there a word for "epiphany"?
The two talked about the court situation for a while, and analyzed the current situation of King Yizhong, King Xiaogong, and King Zhaohui.
Then Yuan Chun said to Shui Xiao: "In one more day, your marriage leave will be over, and you will go to the court during the day." I don't have much to do during the day, I want to take my little sisters over and play with them. The second sister of the Lin family is studying medicine with me, and I don't want her homework to be wasted, so I want to investigate and give advice. You're okay with that, right? ”
"Nope. You are the princess, you can take whoever you want to play, you don't need to report anything to me. Shui Xiao played with one of Yuan Chun's plain hands, and said lightly, "In the Lotus Realm, women can also study, take imperial examinations, and be officials, right?" ”
Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him in surprise! This "Lotus World Customs", she didn't tell Shui Xiao! I didn't expect him to guess it himself.
"How did you guess?" She couldn't help but ask.
Shui Xiao said in his heart: Sure enough! He sighed slightly, a little regretful that she had never told him such an important custom! Is she afraid that she won't be able to accept it, or does she have other concerns?
"Even if your medical skills are passed down by the gods, your knowledge, vision, and bearing in other aspects are by no means beyond the possession of a boudoir woman. So I guess: you are a serious person who has gone to school, gone through things, and even walked the world. Looking at your daily behavior, you know how to hide your edge, and you are not a maverick person...... So I guessed: In the lotus world, it is normal and ordinary for women to study and walk the world. And since women can study and walk the world, isn't it natural for them to be able to take the imperial examination and become officials? ”
Yuan Chun listened to his analysis silently, and sighed secretly in his heart. The advantage of marrying a smart man is that you don't have to be so angry with a fish-lipped husband that you vomit blood. The downside is that if you don't want him to know something, it's not easy to hide it from him!
Alas, I don't know if one day, Shui Xiao guessed the truth of the "rules of the teacher" and "heaven's damnation"? However, even if he guessed, I wouldn't admit it easily! As long as he does not admit it: his guess can always be only a guess, unless he actually tests it.
"Did I guess right?" Shui Xiao asked her.
Yuan Chun sighed and buried his head in his arms: "Yes! ”
Shui Xiao stroked her hair: "The women over there can not only be ministers in the same hall as men, but also study in the same class, and they can be emperors, right?" ”
"Yes! Women in that world can study with men, take imperial examinations together, become officials together, and do business together...... Except in a few cases, what a man can do, a woman can do! ”
Yuan Chun smiled slightly sarcastically, and finally revealed a little emotion in his tone: "The women of that world live much more freely than the women of this world!" You don't have to be enclosed in four walls, and you can live by looking at men's faces every day. ”
Although there are also patriarchal poisons, although there are all kinds of unsatisfactory, but the women of that world have at least some of the right to choose!
Shui Xiao savored the emotions in her tone, and said softly, "That Yuan Yuan has come to this world...... Isn't it unaccustomed to it? ”
Yuan Chun's eyes were slightly red: "It's okay, I'm getting used to it slowly!" "Accepting the mission of the Shanyuan Fairy and coming to this world is also a choice I have made. I don't regret my choice, and I can take responsibility for my choice!
"What's the least accustomed?!" Shui Xiao hugged her a little tighter and hugged her silently.
"The least accustomed to......" Yuan Chun sighed slightly, thinking about what he was most unaccustomed to.
Is there no tampon? Don't have TV and internet? Don't you have all kinds of convenient transportation? Don't have WeChat, Weibo, QQ?
In fact, many inconveniences in life can be made up for with manpower, after all, she is wearing the body of the feudal privileged class. Socially singular, but also patient. What makes her most uncomfortable is that in this world, she must suppress her own nature in order to be able to be a maverick and not so much like being ghosted. What you want to do may not be able to do, what you want to say...... There's a lot that can't be said.
Because you can't say it, it gradually becomes a don't want to say it. I have nothing to say, and I feel so suffocated in my heart that it's really uncomfortable!
Thinking of this, Yuan Chun suddenly had an impulse in his heart, and wanted to say a big truth to Shui Xiao: "The most unaccustomed thing is: a woman in the lotus world can live like a person; And most of the women in this world ...... They all live like dogs! Like a dog raised by a man! ”
Shui Xiao didn't quite understand what she meant at first, but instinctively didn't ask her to explain the meaning of this sentence. He silently chewed on the meaning of his words, and gradually felt a cool air rise in his heart.
Is the difference between the two worlds so big?
"As long as I'm here, you'll never live like a dog!" He made a promise to Yuan Chun.
Yuan Chun kissed him: "Hmm! That's why I'm marrying you! ”
Shui Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Then why did you come to this world?" Is there any task? He had been curious about this question for a long time. Since I've said so much today, I might as well ask her about the purpose of her reincarnation, and see if there's a chance to help her.
Yuan Chun also thought, he had said so much, and he didn't care about revealing a little more, so he just asked him to help a little.
Then he said: "The fairy I met has some relationship with the Jia family...... The fairy sent me here to save the Jia family, as well as the Wang, Shi, Xue and my sisters, who are close to the Jia family! ”
"Save the Jia family?" Shui Xiao was really surprised! Do you want to save Wang, Shi, Xue and her sisters?
"Is there anything wrong with them?" He frowned slightly.
Yuan Chun said with a little sarcasm: "Those gentlemen of the Jia family! There are also relatives of Wang, Shi, and Xue, and there are few fuel-efficient lamps! Although my grandfather has been watching the people in the clan more closely in the past few years, those bastards are the best at making ghosts behind the back of their elders! If Your Highness has extra manpower, can you help me keep an eye on them? If they had done something, I could have known earlier and taught them a lesson. lest they become more and more lawless, and finally make the disaster of raiding their families and destroying their clans! ”
Shui Xiao was silent: "Since this is the case, I will arrange it!" ”
He had also heard some rumors about some things about the Jia family. But for the sake of Yuan Yuan's face, it is not easy for him to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Yue family. Now that Yuan Yuan has said so, he will naturally arrange for his eyeliner to keep an eye on these families, lest they cause trouble and bring Yuan Yuan down.
After Shui Xiao resumed his work, Yuan Chun sent people to pick up Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun, Yingchun and others.
Seeing Yuan Chun again, these little Lolitas are very happy. Yuan Chun wanted to check their homework, and they were not afraid at all, and they answered them fluently.
Yuan Chun made an appointment with them: every five days, he would pick them up to play, inspect everyone's homework by the way, and explain some difficulties.
The bad news: her great aunt is here!
All right! Yuan Chun was a little regretful and relieved at the same time: she was pregnant at the age of sixteen, which was too challenging for her psychological limit!
Within a few days, Min Guiren's mother celebrated her sixtieth birthday, and Yuan Chun also went to celebrate her birthday on behalf of Shui Xiao, who was busy with government affairs.
That morning, Shui Xiao said to Yuan Chun: "Mrs. Min is still easy-going, but Mrs. Min is not a smart person. When you go to celebrate your birthday, you can just follow the etiquette, and you don't have to be like Mrs. Min. ”
Yuan Chun smiled: "Okay! I remembered! "I thought: It's enough to have your words.
She went this time, and she also had a task set for herself: to dispel the idea of the Min family sending their daughter to Shui Xiao as a concubine.
The current head of the Min family is just a six-grade petty official in Taichang Temple, and most of the people who come and go are also the families of medium-sized eunuchs in the capital. As the highest-status greeting guest, Yuan Chun was naturally received ceremoniously, sat in the top position, and squeezed Mrs. Min to the side to sit.
Shui Xiao's three cousins visited Yuan Chun together.
Yuan Chun looked at Min Rou, and it was really a timid little girl. I don't know if she is like this by nature, or if she thought of something after seeing Yuan Chun, and she blushed before she spoke.
Mrs. Min was really eager to let Min Rou be a concubine for Shui Xiao. The first time they met, they praised Min Rou to Yuan Chun: "The soft girl is docile and not good at words, but she is better than her honest duty, and she doesn't have those twists and turns." Don't dislike her, princess! ”
Yuan Chun smiled: "What did Mrs. Min say?" Soft girl like this, I like it the most. "I gave a heavy greeting gift.
After the three girls of the Min family retreated, Mrs. Min tested Yuan Chun: "Princess, don't think I'm troublesome!" Now His Royal Highness Seventeen is also a prince, not to mention the side concubine, and there is not even a lady by his side. Those long-tongued women outside are all arranging the princess! If this matter is not easy to deal with, I am afraid that it will hinder the reputation of the princess, and even affect the reputation of the prince and the palace! ”
Yuan Chun smiled secretly, thinking that since you took the initiative to lead the topic to this, I will say it directly.
"Alas, the words of those long-tongued women can only be regarded as inaudible!" Yuan Chun sighed, "Mrs. Min doesn't know. Last year, when our prince was in Jiangnan, he once met a Taoist priest......"
She told Mrs. Min about Shui Xiao's "fate", and said: "During the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet, I also talked about this problem with the queen mother and sisters-in-law. But since the Taoist priest said that the prince and the yin people are in conflict, how dare I get some yin people to go to the mansion to attack the prince for the sake of my reputation? After all, the prince's life matters! ”
Mrs. Min was dumbfounded.
And it came to pass, while they were seated, that another noblewoman spoke of the marriage of her children.
Yuan Chun said in front of Mrs. Min: "It's good to match any kind of family!" But if there is a choice, it is best not to marry close relatives, otherwise it may be detrimental to the offspring...... "The harm of marriage between close relatives was publicized in public.
When he returned to the palace, Yuan Chun smiled at the corner of his mouth: Okay! The matter of the cousin of the Min family has been resolved.
