"The old slave has seen the princess." Although the horse-faced grandmother said this, she still stood straight, and did not bend her knees.

Cai Wei didn't care either, and said with a smile: "In the past years in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion, there was Mama Lao's teaching, after all these years, Mama has not seen her age, and she still looks as tough as four years ago." ”

It turned out that this grandmother was none other than one of the several nurturing grandmothers assigned to her by the Empress Dowager Sun when Cai Wei was just elected as the princess more than four years ago.

Before Cai Wei got married, she had suffered a lot under the hands of Gui and Rong. However, after Mama Gui broke her leg inexplicably, Mama Ma and Mama Rong, who replaced her, were much more polite to Cai Wei, and they no longer dared to toss her in various ways like Mama Gui.

Mama Ma raised her eyelids and glanced at Cai Wei, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the princess." It stands to reason that the princess should go to Ciqing Palace first to ask the queen mother for peace, but the princess came unfortunately, the queen mother was unwell, so she avoided the princess's visit, and ordered the old slave to take the princess directly to the Changqiu Pavilion where you lived. ”

When Cai Wei heard this, she was right in the heart, and it was the best not to meet the old witch. She knew how jealous Empress Dowager Sun was of Prince Xianyide's family, although it seemed that Concubine Jin had temporarily persuaded her, but if she really met, she looked at her already bulging belly, in case she fainted, regardless of the overall situation, and had other thoughts, it would be troublesome.

However, it's an excuse to feel unwell or something, right? She didn't want to see Empress Dowager Sun, but she was afraid that people wouldn't want to see her.

Cai Wei tried to think about it from the perspective of Empress Dowager Sun, her emperor's son had passed away for almost a year, but he couldn't settle in the ground, and the only bloodline left by her son was a fool and couldn't inherit the throne. Therefore, no longer waiting to see the male members of Prince Xianyide's family, he had to adopt her younger brother Cheng Engong's Jianyì, so that Qin Fei could give birth to an heir, which was better than inheriting it under the name of his stupid grandson.

Empress Dowager Sun can agree to this, thinking that she is already aggrieved enough, and then she sees herself appearing in front of her with a belly, isn't that looking for abuse?

These thoughts were just a flash in Cai Wei's heart, and she said politely: "Since the Queen Mother's decree should obey her fate, please lead the way for me!" ”

Mama Ma still stood still, looking at the four maids standing behind Cai Wei, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, the princess has a decree, saying that the princess has just arrived in this Dali Palace, and I am afraid that you will not be used to it, so she specially sent several old people in the palace to wait for the princess, as for the few maids brought by the princess, they don't understand the rules of this palace, so naturally they can't enter the palace to wait for the princess." ”

The team of ladies led by the red lady was stopped outside the palace gate as early as possible, and at this time, only these four maids personally selected by Qin Fei were left with Cai Wei. Although he knew that as soon as he arrived at the Dali Palace, Empress Dowager Sun would definitely replace all the people around Cai Wei with hers, but he still carefully selected these four maids to take with her.

Because she had expected that Empress Dowager Sun would act like this, Cai Wei didn't have any emotion except for regret, so she calmly agreed, and let her four maids out of the palace without saying a word.

Mama Ma's face, which had always been rigid, did not show a smile until this time. "Jin Lian, Jin Ying, I haven't seen Princess Linchuan soon, you have to serve the princess well in the future, and you can't let the princess have a little mistake in this palace."

She finished shouting to the two palace maids behind her, and said to Cai Wei: "Princess, these two palace maids are the personal palace maids specially selected by the Queen Mother, as for the other people who serve, they are all waiting for you in Changqiu Pavilion!" Let's get over it! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Zhao Yifei on the side say, "It turns out that Sister Wei lives in Changqiu Pavilion?" Then we can go on a journey together! ”

"Could it be that Aunt Zhao, you also live in the palace?" Tsevinahan.

Yi Fei smiled proudly, "Alas! I didn't want to, but naturally I still wanted to live next to Xiangye. But who let a bunch of sluts in Nafu who have suffered from pink eye, jealous that I am pregnant with Xiangye's child, and want to harm our mother and son in a different way, it really can't make people live with peace of mind. ”

"Then you won't live in the palace all at once, right? With Sun Youxiang's financial resources, it is no problem to buy another ten houses in Dali for his favorite concubine to live in, and he actually let his concubine live in the palace in a grand manner, and then the palace, which is also the palace? Cai Wei said in her heart.

I have to say that Zhao Yifei has been fighting in the Sun Mansion for a few years, and her ability to observe faces and looks is much better than before, as if she knew what Cai Wei was thinking, and then showed off: "Originally, I thought that as long as I didn't live in the Prime Minister's Mansion,

"There is one more thing, if I say it, please sister, don't feel unbearable on your face." She said this, and then said to herself: "Actually, I didn't come to the gate of this palace to greet my sister, but the imperial doctor had to tell me every day to let me move around more, so that the fetus could be born well, so ah, I now have to walk around this palace every morning and evening, and it was a coincidence that I met my sister." ”

After all, this Dali Palace is just a temporary palace built in a hurry, how big can it be, with just a few words, their group has already walked to the Fulinxuan where Zhao Yifei lives.

Cai Wei saw that this courtyard was very neat and the location was not bad, so she couldn't help but secretly say: "It seems that this Empress Dowager Sun really loves her nephew enough, not only is she willing to take his concubine to the palace to raise, but the treatment looks good, at least compared with her, the real princess, it is almost nothing worse." ”

Zhao Yifei touched her stomach and said lazily: "I'm a little tired today, so I won't invite my sister to sit in, and now my sister also lives in this palace, and when I get bored one day, I will talk to my sister to relieve my boredom." ”

As early as eight hundred years ago, her rude actions were ignored by Cai Wei, let alone now? Cai Wei did what she said, and continued to follow Mama Ma to her Changqiu Pavilion.

After turning left and right for a while, he came to a small courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a total of eight people, four palace maids, and four eunuchs standing inside. Mama Ma gave an order, and these eight people saluted Cai Wei together.

"You slaves and maids give me a good listen, in the future, I will be born on an errand in this Changqiu Pavilion, and I will wait for the princess of Linchuan, if you are slippery and lazy, you will not be treated by the princess, carefully your skin, and look back at how the queen mother will punish you?"

After teaching the palace people, she turned her head to Cai Wei and said: "Please rest assured, the princess, there are old slaves guarding in this Changqiu Pavilion, and it is expected that they will not dare to do their best to be a good student, and they will never dare to snub the princess!" ”

The implication of this is that it is not enough to send ten people around her, and it is necessary to leave such a Zhenshan Tai Sui to watch her.

Although these people served her with some care, but the next day, Cai Wei realized that she was under house arrest in this small courtyard.

"If the princess wants to walk around, just walk around this courtyard a few times. I'm afraid it's not very convenient to walk around outside this Changqiu Pavilion. Mama Ma put her hands on her sleeves and said with a straight face.

"What's the inconvenience?" Cai Wei humbly asks for advice.

"Now in this palace, in addition to the Queen Mother, the current Shengshang and the Seven Princes, King Yingchuan and the concubine and the princess also live in the palace. This man and woman are very defensive, if the princess meets King Yingchuan in the palace, it is always inappropriate, and the princess is asked to raise the baby in this Changqiu Pavilion in the future, don't move around! ”

Cai Wei was speechless, why didn't Mama Ma take out this big truth when Zhao Yifei was wandering around in this palace? If you want to put her under house arrest, just say it, why bother with such a bad excuse. She is just a pregnant woman, can this Empress Dowager Sun be so strict with a pregnant woman who can't run?

However, although she couldn't go out, she couldn't stop someone from wanting to come to this Changqiu Pavilion to visit her, the princess.

The first person to visit was the concubine of King Yingchuan, Princess Cui, who is also the beloved daughter of Cui Zuoxiang.

Cai Wei doesn't think that she has a deep friendship with this concubine, people's hatred of her can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and the reason why Princess Cui can come to see her with dignity is probably what her father Cui Zuoxiang meant.

I heard that this group of civil and military ministers who had fled to Yunnan saw that someone was fighting against the Jin soldiers in front of them, and that Emperor Lin De was seriously ill, so they began to argue again about who should be appointed as the prince.

Since Cui Zuoxiang married his daughter to Qin Min, the king of Yingchuan, he is naturally a firm leader, but the Empress Dowager Sun is inclined to Qin Fei, the king of Linchuan, who has the blood of the Sun family. Moreover, Qin Fei is now fighting against the Jin soldiers and winning consecutive battles, and his reputation is growing, which makes many centrist ministers also a little optimistic about him.

The most important thing is that King Yingchuan has no children so far, and she, Princess Linchuan, is already pregnant, so it is no wonder that Princess Cui can't sit still and wants to come here to explore the truth.

But the door of this Changqiu Pavilion is not so easy to enter, Princess Cui came to the door with a bunch of gifts, but was blocked by Mama Ma outside the door, a sentence: "Princess Linchuan has been tired from the journey, and she has not been feeling well these days, and the imperial doctor instructed her to stay in bed to recuperate, and not to see any outsiders." And he sent her away.

He didn't even accept her gift, "The old slave now acts at the behest of Princess Zhou, without the consent of the princess, Princess Cui's generous gift, the old slave doesn't dare to accept it!" ”

After speaking, she "snapped" the gate directly in front of Princess Cui, so angry that Cui Qijun blushed, and returned to her own courtyard angrily, blocking her chest in one breath, and couldn't eat two meals in a row.

It was easy to spend the night, and it was only the next day that I lost some of my anger, but as soon as I took a bite of the porridge bowl, I was so angry by the news that I immediately smashed the bowl to the ground.

Why was she blocked out of the door by the dead old woman with a horse face when she went to Changqiu Pavilion, and ate a very loud closed door, but as soon as Emperor Sun Guifei went, why didn't she say that the Zhou family couldn't see guests, but was immediately welcomed in? It's so deceitful!

She only cared about being angry and indignant, but the old grandmother who brought her up since she was a child rolled her eyes and persuaded her: "The princess is quick to dissipate her anger, but don't be angry." The old slave had heard of it...... said that Emperor Sun Guifei didn't want to see Princess Linchuan in her heart, and she wanted to frame her several times before! ”

Cui Qi Junqi said: "What kind of holiday does Emperor Sun have with the Zhou family, so don't you want to see her?" ”

"Ahem!" The old lady coughed twice before saying: "I heard that Emperor Sun Guifei had promised each other a lifetime with the King of Linchuan when she was a girl before, but later, somehow, when she entered the palace to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, she was looked down upon by the saint, and she entered the palace by mistake and became the concubine of the saint." I heard that the king of Linchuan left Beijing because his beloved woman was robbed by his emperor's uncle. ”

It was the first time Cui Qijun heard such gossip secrets, and his eyes couldn't help but widen, "Could it be because of ......?" ”

"The princess is really smart, I heard that although the concubine of Emperor Sun favored the harem alone and gave birth to a prince to the saint, but in her heart, she still thought about His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan. Originally, if she hid such a woman's heart and didn't say it, no one would know. But didn't Princess Linchuan fall into the hands of the Fusang people before? As a result, in order to save Princess Zhou, King Linchuan didn't even care about the Jin people, so he directly transferred 10,000 huge ships, waved his troops to the East China Sea, surrounded the Fusang Kingdom, and forced them to hand over Princess Zhou. When the news reached Dali, I heard that Emperor Sun had a temper tantrum in her Changchun Palace for a month, and at this moment, who could not guess her careful thoughts? ”

Obviously, there were less than 1,000 warships surrounding Fusang at the beginning, but when they reached Yunnan, they became "10,000 giant ships".

Cui Qijun stared at a pair of round eyes, and listened to the old lady continue: "This woman, how can she not be jealous, princess, just look, now that this Emperor Sun and Concubine have come to the door, maybe there is something else to watch?" ”

In the end, she habitually glanced around, and then leaned into Cui Qijun's ear and whispered, "If Emperor Sun Guifei can deal with the Zhou family, then we won't have to worry about it anymore." ”
