Let's say that after the Anjin sisters went to the park to play, the Zhao family was already a little tired of socializing with the officials and wives, and was thinking about how to find an opportunity to meet the second daughter Ruan Anzheng, so they received a summons from Concubine Zhao.

When the Ruan family sisters pinched each other, the Zhao family was playing chess with Concubine Zhao, who was dressed in plain clothes and green robes, in a small courtyard in a remote corner of the backyard of Huangzhuang.

After finishing a son, Concubine Zhao said with some interest: "Xi'er, I haven't seen you for many years, and your chess skills are wasted." ”

Zhao Shi was a little ashamed and said, "Auntie, I haven't practiced chess for many years. "She has raised her daughter and taken care of housework over the years, and she has long since rarely touched the piano and chess.

The Zhao family has not seen Concubine Zhao for many years. Back then, she refused to marry Jinshang, who was still the crown prince, and married the second son of the Ruan family, but it was against Concubine Zhao's wishes, and Concubine Zhao had no intention of embarrassing her, but she never wanted to see her.

Today, she inquired about Ruan Anzheng's news, but she was unexpectedly summoned by Concubine Zhao, and she was worried, I don't know if Concubine Zhao suddenly summoned her, whether she intended to lead Ruan Anzheng's marriage. Who knew that it came, but it just asked her to play chess with her, just like the daily routine of accompanying her in the palace seventeen years ago.

The Zhao family lost three sets repeatedly, Concubine Zhao was bored, and when she was about to get up and leave the table, a little palace maid hurriedly came over and whispered in the ear of Aunt Fan, the aunt in charge of Concubine Zhao, Aunt Fan's face changed suddenly, she walked in front of Concubine Zhao and whispered to her to explain the matter briefly.

Concubine Zhao sat back in her position after hearing this, her face was a little more interested, she raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look at Zhao and Ruan Anzheng with a smile, and said: "Just now, the palace maid came to report, the little county lord of the Second Prince's Mansion and the little girl of the Cheng'en Mansion had a quarrel with several young ladies of the Ruan family, and it is said that a young lady of the Ruan family was smashed on the head and fell to the ground and did not wake up." ”

Zhao stood up suddenly, his face changed suddenly, his fear was undoubtedly revealed, and he said, "Auntie." His eyes looked at Aunt Fan, who came to report on the side. And Ruan Anzheng, who was standing on the side, also lost blood on his face, and it turned white when he brushed it.

Before Zhao continued to speak, Concubine Zhao intercepted her words and shouted, "Xi'er, sit down." Then he turned his gaze to Aunt Fan and Ruan Anzheng and said, "Aunt Fan, you go and deal with it, and if necessary, bring people back here." Sister Zheng'er, you also go and take a look, don't be impulsive, just watch Aunt Fan act. ”

Seeing that Ruan Anzheng went out with Aunt Fan, the Zhao family still stood still, as if he wanted to go with him, but he didn't dare to really go against Concubine Zhao's wishes. Seeing her anxious and uneasy expression, Concubine Zhao smiled slightly sarcastically: "What, do you think you were more useful in the past than Aunt Fan in the past?" Why do you live more and more and go back, no wonder Sister Zheng was forced to this Cheng dù. Don't worry, it wasn't your daughter who was knocked out, it was just the Ruan family girl who came with her. ”

When Zhao heard this, his restless expression faded, but his face turned white again, and then he slowly turned red because of anger.

"Sit down," Concubine Zhao said to the Zhao family, and then turned her head sideways to the little palace maid who had come to report together but had not yet left, "You tell everything that has happened, including the expressions of the people, and don't miss anything." ”

The little palace maid understood, so she explained the cause of the incident, how everyone spoke and acted, and developed to the eldest princess Li Xiangjun smashed people with an inkstone, Ruan Anshu was smashed with Ruan Anmei, Li Xiangjun pulled out a hairpin and stabbed Ruan Anmei, An Jin bumped into Li Xiangjun, until An Jin stepped on Li Xiangjun's wrist, it was clear and clear, and it was like being on the scene.

Concubine Zhao was silent, but Zhao was so angry that she hated and felt distressed, and she couldn't wait to rush over immediately. She was originally the youngest daughter of the Shunguo Mansion, the niece of Concubine Zhao, she grew up like the stars holding the moon when she was young, although she has suffered some setbacks in recent years, but the youngest daughter of the eldest princess's mansion who is not very powerful, when she is angry, she still doesn't pay attention to it in her heart.

"Look, Xi'er, you are low-married, and you still see it this way, but you are relying on the fact that you are the concubine of the Zhao family of the Shunguo Mansion, and your mother will help you, and you feel that as long as your mother is there, she will be able to help you solve everything." Seeing that Zhao didn't seem to know what he was doing with this now, he was even more unconvinced, as if he was saying that what did this have to do with his mother?

Concubine Zhao slowly reached out and picked up a chess piece, touched it twice, and said with a slight sarcastic smile, "Without the identity of the Duchess of Shunguo, without your mother, you are going over now, are you letting the eldest princess blame you for being respectful and inferior?" Or let the Queen Mother dictate you to teach your daughter no way? Without your mother, how can you marry Sister Tan back to the Zhao family? Now let me stay with Sister Zheng? For so many years, you didn't give birth to a son, you didn't have your mother, not to mention that the dowry couldn't be kept, but I was afraid that someone would have gnawed away from the scum. As far as I know, what kind of upbringing and marriage of your daughters lacks the shadow of your mother? ”

Zhao's face turned red when he heard this, and he slowly sat back in his chair.

Concubine Zhao didn't stop, and continued: "It's your mother who has always maintained your so-called pride and backbone. But you see, now Sister Zheng'er's marriage has been so troubled, and she has been repeatedly insulted in person. You look, Sister Mei, Sister Tong, Sister Jin'er in the back, do you still want your mother to help you, please do this, please that? ”

"But your mother is already old, how many years can she protect your sisters? If your mother goes, hehe, the foreign family, the dealer is also your foreign family, but look at it, how do they treat you, how do they treat your sister?! ”

Zhao Shi palpitated when she heard this, and tears finally couldn't help but flow out slowly, she had her own pride, but her pride could not protect her daughter. She trembled and slowly knelt down, and whispered for a long time, "Auntie, aunt...... It was me who was wrong. also begged my aunt to call the shots for my sisters. ”

Concubine Zhao slowly put down the chess pieces, looked at the Zhao family, and said for a long time: "In this case, you lead Sister Ji home first, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, send it back to my palace with Sister Jin." ”

"Sister Jin'er," Zhao repeated in a low voice, looking up violently, "No, aunt, Sister Jin'er is so young...... "Sister Jin'er was forced to be helpless, but she didn't want her Sister Jin'er to have anything to do with the royal people.

"What do you think I'm letting her into the palace for?" Concubine Zhao shouted angrily, "Hmph, I will continue to educate you, and it will all be abolished." You heard it just now, Sister Jin directly knocked Li Xiangjun to the ground, and dared to step on Li Xiangjun's wrist, are you sure you can keep Sister Jin at home safely? ! A Li Xiangjun is nothing, is it not easy for the eldest princess, even if she is not powerful, to abolish a little girl who has no family background? What's more, because of the matter of Huaiwang, His Majesty has a lot of guilt towards the Empress Dowager Yuan, and many things are also turned a blind eye. ”

King Huai is the third son of Emperor Wen, but also the only son of the Empress Dowager Yuan, when the young monk was the prince of the prince when he went out hunting, he broke his leg in order to save the present, although he was treated by the imperial doctor, he was still lame, and later did not let King Huai stay in Beijing, or was sent to the fief of Guizhou early. Therefore, His Majesty is more tolerant of Empress Dowager Yuan today.

Seeing that Zhao's eyes were blank, Concubine Zhao's tone softened, and she sighed: "I know your heart, I thought that Sister Zheng was the best born among their sisters, so she caused so much right and wrong." But recently, I heard that Sister Jin'er is only nine years old, and she has faintly overshadowed her sisters, saying that she has a little shadow of me. ”

She sneered and continued, "Hehe, if that's the case, then it's nothing, but your mother is very worried and told me, where is it like me, it is clearly enough to be the first emperor and queen!" Have you seen the first emperor and the queen, what kind of appearance was it, how the first emperor and the king of Hanzhong were crazy for her, you must know some of it, do you think that generation of that look, you want to tie her to your side, can you tie it up? She's only nine years old now, but I've heard that Cheng Yi kid has already pushed his cousin into the water for her. ”

Zhao wanted to say something, opened his mouth to refute again, but couldn't say anything. Although she was still worried and anxious, she was still left at Concubine Zhao's place to wait for news.

And in the eyes of Concubine Zhao, Ruan Anjian, who will be peerless in the future, was taken out of the group beating scene with her hair scattered at this time. But it was the palace maids who were hidden in the dark in the imperial village and saw that the maids in the garden could not control the scene of the group beating, so they couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out and took both sides out, separated them and put them away, until the queen's palace maid appeared and invited both sides to a small courtyard near the south courtyard nearby.

When Aunt Fan and Ruan Anzheng arrived, the Ruan sisters had already been placed in a side room in the courtyard, and the girls described them as a little wolf, sitting around the only bed in the room, where Ruan Anshu was still unconscious. The wound on Ruan Anshu's head had been treated by a doctor and was bandaged with a white cloth tape, but he was still unconscious on the bed, and next to him sat Ruan Anmei, who was secretly weeping, and Ruan Anjian, who was silent.

An Geun sat on the edge of the bed at this time, her eyes were a little glazed, and she looked a little frightened. In fact, she was thinking about what was going on today, as for the potential risk of beating the eldest princess's youngest daughter Li Xiangjun, she was not worried, she could always come up with a way to deal with it.

An Jin felt that she must have provoked the god of decay recently, or that their sisters had caused the god of decay, how could they suddenly become magnificent after the peaceful life of the past two years?

Today, she beat Li Xiangjun with a ruthless foot, she was really aggrieved, why did anyone dare to come and show off their power in front of their sisters, and they could do whatever they wanted? Threatened, pushed down the river, disfigured, dialed one after another without waiting.

She knew that if this fight was fought, her reputation might have to be pungent and vicious under the spread of well-intentioned people, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and everyone who came to provoke her weighed whether they could afford it. Li Xiangjun dared to scold their sisters for bad their sisters' reputation, so she let her also feel the feeling of being rumored, presumably after this, the rumor that Li Xiangjun coveted her brother-in-law would be more popular than the portrait gossip of their sisters.
