Chapter 150: Yuehua Palace
The cat in Concubine Jingxian's arms was dedicated to a Taoist priest who had traveled all over the world four years ago. The cat's whole body hair is delicate and supple, white as snow, without a little variegation; One of the eyes is royal blue, the other is emerald green, like two brilliant gemstones, revealing arrogance in nobility.
But the important thing is not its beauty, but a mysterious rumor that has been endowed with it.
It is rumored that this cat has the ability to connect with the gods, and can see people before and after hundreds of years, as well as communicate with the deepest souls. It never shouts lightly, but whenever it opens its mouth, it is not an ordinary person, this person is either a king or a strong person, in short, he is a person who can change the trajectory of the times and subvert the pattern of the world, if it is not famous in history, it will be stinking for 10,000 years!
Since then, after the cat was raised on the side of Concubine Jingxian, except for the emperor who could hear it cry when he arrived in Xiyun Palace, he never opened his mouth for the rest of the people. This time, as soon as Xia Xue'er approached Concubine Jingxian's steps, the cat "meowed" and screamed, which was something that everyone didn't expect, can you not be frightened?
Mrs. Xia was terrified when she heard this, she didn't know if there was a mysterious power in the world, and no matter whether her daughter was a king or a strong man, whether she would go down in history or would be remembered for thousands of years, she only knew that it was not a good thing for her to let this almost divine cat open her voice!
Thinking about things in his heart, this long palace road doesn't feel like a long time.
After walking for nearly an hour, Aunt Yunxi said. Xia Xue'er raised her head and looked, three gilded plaques of "Yuehua Palace" were hung at the door, and a father-in-law pushed the door open, and the mother and daughter walked in with Aunt Yunxi.
Although Yuehua Palace is not the most gorgeous palace within the vermilion walls, it is the most comfortable one. Sun Guifei married into the palace as a side concubine when the emperor was still the prince, and the emperor loved each other and gave birth to the eldest prince. Because Sun Guifei is a native of Yangzhou, so this Yuehua Palace is built in imitation of the characteristics of the garden landscape and the nine curves, three steps and a small scene, ten steps and a big scene, warm in winter and cool in summer, so it can be said to be the most comfortable place in the palace.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, the door opened, and a maid with a peach wood tray in her hand stepped out, not wanting to run into the lady and concubine of the Marquis of Anguo who came to thank her, and almost bumped into it, so she hurriedly leaned over to salute. Xia Xue'er pretended to be inadvertently glanced at the objects in the tray, two colorful glass cups, and most of the steaming tea in them, both cups. It can be seen that before the arrival of the mother and daughter, there were guests in the palace this month. The tea was still hot, and it must have not been long since the people left, but Fang Cai didn't meet the rest of the people along the way, so it can be seen that the people Sun Guifei saw just now didn't want them to bump into each other.
After Xia Xue'er entered the hall, she lowered her head, and her eyes did not look around. As the mother bowed to the woman sitting on the top of the hall, it was not until she heard that Sun Guifei said to sit down that she thanked her, and her buttocks gently pressed against the chair, and her head was slightly flattened.
Aunt Yunxi stepped forward and said something in Sun Guifei's ear, and saw a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then frowned slightly, but when she looked at Xia Xue'er's mother and daughter, she regained her earlier nobility and elegance, and her smile was like coming out of a painting. Xia Xue'er was a little stupid. Sun Guifei is the same age as Mrs. Xia, and married into the palace at the age of fifteen, but beauties can always get preferential treatment from the years, and they can't bear to leave any traces on her face. It has been well maintained for decades, and it is not at all obvious that she is a woman in her forties with children!
There is no need to guess, what Aunt Fang Yunxi said must be the thing that met Concubine Jingxian on the road and provoked the magical cat in her arms to bark, although Xia Xue'er didn't believe in that kind of divine rumor, but I don't know if Concubine Sun Guifei would believe it?
I couldn't help but smile bitterly twice in my heart, I was really unsettled and rising again and again, and I was afraid that she would not be involved in the dispute over the heir in the future!
"Sister Jingxian's sister, the white cat, I wonder if the cat's barking scared you two?"
Sun Guifei didn't intend to pretend not to know, and almost immediately said it after learning the ins and outs of this matter. In this regard, Xia Xueer was a little curious, they were not familiar with each other, and it seemed unreasonable to be so frank.
"Back to the mother, the cat is docile, and the cry is not abrupt, so it does not frighten the courtiers and the little girl." Mrs. Xia stood up and gave a salute to thank the concubine for her concern.
Did it scare the two of them? In a word, double light, does it refer to the power that the legend gave to the white cat or is it just the sound of a cat?
She always felt that the former would be more likely.
The battle between Concubine Jingxian and Concubine Sun Guifei lasted in the palace for decades, whether it was an open dispute or a secret fight, the forces of the two sides rose and fell, but they always maintained a balance. Now that the fifth prince and the sixth prince are adults, the war between them is becoming more and more intense, and it is destined to be a death ending in the end.
As he grew older, His Majesty's energy was not as vigorous as before, and his body and bones were getting weaker and weaker year by year. The emperor has thirteen princes, but there is only one second prince, Mu Xuanling, but because the queen mother was pregnant with him, it was when the emperor was ambitious to seize power, **** was worried, did not think about tea and rice, and lacked qi and blood in the palace, so the second prince was born a person with an unsound mind, and the queen mother was injured because of this, and never gave birth to a prince again.
In addition, Mu Xuanting, the eldest prince who is most qualified to inherit the unification, died fifteen years ago, and there are seven of the remaining princes who have reached adulthood, and among them, only the third prince Mu Xuanyin, the fifth prince Mu Xuanqin, the sixth prince Mu Xuanlong and the eighth prince Mu Xuanhan have the ability to win the heir.
And in this battle for succession, Mu Xuanlong's opponents have their own merits, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
The biological mother of the third prince has passed away, and compared with the rest of the princes, although he has no maternal support, he is good at grasping people's hearts and holding real power in his hands; The eighth prince is the son of Concubine De, and his mother's family is a famous family in Jiangzhou, with strong strength, but he is slightly inferior in wisdom; The five princes are mediocre in ability, but they are the most favored by the emperor, and the mother concubine is also favored in the harem, occupying the innate good conditions.
Under such conditions, the support of the Marquis of Anguo is particularly important. Presumably, Sun Guifei also knew about the use of the prince for his son, but after all, compared to the military department, military power is more real! As a result, the daughter has undoubtedly become a sweetheart in the battle for succession.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia sighed in her heart.
