==Chapter 134==

In the quiet bedroom, only a sheepskin palace lamp remained in the corner, exuding a faint yellow light.

On the bed, the king of Chu looked up at the gauze tent on the top of the bed and fell into a memory from a long time ago.

“…… Empress Xiao is one of them, and my mother is also one of them. In fact, as early as when the Xiao family planned to let Empress Xiao enter the gate of the Wei Palace, they had already buried a secret chess, and that person was my mother's concubine. My mother has been raised by the Duchess of Anguo since she was ten years old, and she seems to be a serious daughter, but in fact she is never allowed to go out...... Later, there was an accident, and everyone in the house said that the mother concubine had disgraced the family and was ashamed, and she rarely showed her face in front of people. This situation lasted until Empress Xiao married into the Wei Palace, and the Xiao family proposed to let my mother concubine follow her, and it just so happened that my mother had not come to the door for so many years, so she naturally married in the past...... After Princess Wei died, things went as the Xiao family had planned......"

The king of Chu spoke in a steady tone, and he could hardly hear any of his feelings. Jiuniang listened quietly, this was the first time that the king of Chu had talked about this kind of thing in front of her, and there was something about him.

“…… The father and the emperor are very fond of the mother concubine, and they must not be compared with the first queen, but they are also the crown of the harem. But the concubine has never forgotten the mission given to her by the Xiao family, in fact, the concubine is not a fool, she understands many things, but for the Duchess of Anguo and Queen Xiao, she always gives in and backs down, and everything puts them first. It may also be that she has been raised by the Duchess of Anguo for a long time, and she has been hypnotized by her, I have seen A-Niang cry more than once, but after she cried, she was still so stubborn to fulfill the heavy responsibility that the daughter of the Xiao family should shoulder......"

"When I was a child, I actually complained a lot about my mother, why did I have to accept my fate so much. Later, I realized that in fact, A-Niang also had A-Niang's helplessness, Queen Xiao's means were too good, and all the connections that the Xiao family had operated in the palace for many years were in her hands, and A-Niang actually had nothing except the ridiculous favor given by her father. These favors are of no other use than to make enemies for her and make her the target of public criticism. She can only cling to Queen Xiao in exchange for our mother and son's ......"

King Chu suddenly sneered, and his voice was low: "It's just that she's too stupid, when others get what they want, she is useless, but becomes the biggest obstacle." Everyone in the harem knows that the father and the emperor favor A-Niang because of her face that looks like the first queen, when you have it, others don't, it becomes a sin. Although A-Niang's death was led by the Xiao family, others contributed to it......"

Therefore, Queen Xiao can reach her current status now, in fact, it is all through the use of Concubine Die? used a face that resembled the first queen to touch the heart of Emperor Chengyuan who missed the first queen, and then planned to share the favor step by step. When his goal is achieved, he treats the person he used in the first place as if he were a piece of.

After all, as the king of Chu said, you have it, but others don't, that's a sin. It's better to destroy it directly, everyone stands in the same www.biquge.info of the fun pavilion, and then they rely on their own means.

And Queen Xiao grew up with a thousand pets, how could she endure a woman who was inferior to herself everywhere on her head, and she even needed to rely on the cage to get some favor, I am afraid that she had endured Concubine Butterfly for a long time, and it was not until her position was stabilized that she gave a dead hand to Concubine Butterfly.

After the death of Concubine Die, the King of Chu returned to the name of Queen Xiao to raise, the King of Chu must have had a hard time when he was a child, otherwise he would not have resorted to that kind of means, and used his life to get a chance to get ahead. For so many years, he has been trembling and carefully trying to figure out Emperor Chengyuan's thoughts, and even did not hesitate to be a target for this.

How similar! If it is said that the Butterfly Concubine back then was a target who was set up by the Xiao family and Emperor Chengyuan, the same is true for the King of Chu now. And it's not just a target, it's also a knife cultivated by Emperor Chengyuan, a knife prepared for the prince.

How sad! Both mother and son are stand-ins for others, and one qiē only lives for others.

Therefore, the legs of the king of Chu must always be wasted, and it is good to have no heirs of his own. Once there is an omission, or the king of Chu shows undeserved ambitions, what awaits him is doom.

But all the qiē can be left out, and the king of Chu is also the son of Emperor Chengyuan......

Jiuniang has always understood the situation of King Chu, but it is only at this moment that she really feels the same way. At the same time, a sense of anger welled up in my heart.

Why? Why does a person save only for others, why should his own destiny be controlled by others, but he can't be the master?

Jiuniang finally understood why the King of Chu in his previous life was so persistent in that position, and he had spent countless scheming for this, being ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself, I am afraid that what he wanted most was not that position, but just a glimmer of life. The king of Chu is already in this position, if he can't get that position, no matter who gets the throne in the future, he will die the worst......

For the first time, Jiuniang took the initiative to approach King Chu's arms and grabbed his shirt tightly, but she didn't know what to say.

King Chu gently patted her back, slowly smoothed her long hair, and was silent.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, someone came from the Anguo Mansion and quietly took the maids away.

The one named Aunt Qian was kept, but Jiu Niang didn't put her by her side, but was still detained in that small courtyard. If she had already planned to tear her face with the Anguo Mansion before, she was even more determined at this time.

Anyway, now the Xiao family is begging her, and if they want to continue to be false or tear their faces, she will continue. Since the king of Chu is already in the position of a 'lonely person', she, a wife, can only accompany her.

At the same time, Jiu Niang has taken more strict precautions against the main courtyard, and the people around her are all very reassuring people, plus there are people under the King of Chu to help them inside and out, saying that it is an iron bucket, and it is not an exaggeration to splash water.

In fact, the palace of the king of Chu has always been an iron bucket to the outside, and the needle cannot be inserted, so many years, it is estimated that except for the people who were inserted by Emperor Chengyuan, others have probably not been allowed to enter its door.

Just when Jiuniang was in full swing, another incident happened, and the people below came to report that the people detained in the east courtyard were making a fuss again. This time it was not the Xiao family, but a few beautiful maids sent by the Zhao Wangfu through the wedding of the King of Chu, who were sent along with the congratulatory gifts, saying that they were afraid that the Chu Wangfu would not have enough manpower, but in fact, what was the real purpose of the other party, everyone knew it in their hearts.

Because it was sent by King Zhao, the people below didn't dare to dispose of it at will, so they reported it to Jiuniang.

Jiu Niang went to meet those people on purpose.

After seeing it, I found out that it was a beautiful maid, which was indeed the truth. These people are not good-looking, not under Jiu Niang, and they are more amorous, or coquettish, or pure, I am afraid that men will not be able to move their legs when they see it.

Jiu Niang didn't say anything on the spot, but turned her head and ordered someone to pack these people and send them back to King Zhao's mansion, and pointed out that Princess Chu was upset when she saw these people, and she didn't dare to accept the gift, so she returned it to King Zhao.

Although the people who went to send people away were a little surprised by the directness of Jiu Niang's words, in the end Jiu Niang was the master of the house, and they still did it truthfully.

With the reminders of these people, Jiuniang also remembered that the people sent by the Qi Mansion of the Chengwang Mansion had not been dealt with, so by the way, the people sent from the two mansions were also returned, and the same disposal was the same as that of Princess Zhao's beautiful maids.

All of a sudden, there was a storm on the ground in Chang'an City, and everyone was talking about the newly married princess of Chu who was a jealous woman. There are those who are surprised, and there are those who watch jokes, and it is not without jealous women, but as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, there are not many people who dare to be so evil.

Things have developed like this, Emperor Chengyuan can turn a blind eye, and the queen, as a mother-in-law, can't sit idly by.

He Luan issued an edict to summon Princess Chu into the palace.

For a while, many people's eyes were focused on this.

*

Several princes have built their own mansions, although Queen Xiao is as a mother-in-law, but as a daughter-in-law, the princesses do not need to go to the queen every morning and dusk to ask the queen for peace.

After all, it takes a long time to enter the palace, and no one has this time. Most of them go to the Luan Hall on the fifteenth day of the first month, and just go through the motions.

The day when Jiuniang entered the door happened to coincide, and it happened to be the sixteenth day, so there was no need to enter the palace for most of the month. Today is thirty, and tomorrow is the day when several princesses enter the palace to ask for peace, and Queen Xiao is so late to summon Jiuniang into the palace at this moment, everyone knows that this is probably for the things that have happened in the past few days.

The next day, the morning light was faint, Jiuniang got up early in the morning, and packed up and went to the palace.

All the way to Yong'an Gate, the carriage was stopped.

Today, the King of Chu did not enter the palace with Jiu Niang, she naturally couldn't take the convenience of the King of Chu directly to the inner court, but after leaving the Yong'an Gate, there was no chamberlain to arrange the frame, and Jiu Niang knew that this was Heluan Dian's side and wanted to give herself a dismount.

Jiu Niang was not surprised by this result, she had been ready to fight this tough battle long before.

In her previous life, she was also a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang has a lot of ways to make things difficult, although Jiuniang has suffered a lot of losses, but Mrs. Wang has not had the upper hand, in general, Jiuniang is quite experienced, and this point in front of her can not scare her.

Jiuniang led Xiaocui and Xiaocan all the way slowly, and there were many attendants who peeked at her.

I'm afraid that in a while, the matter of Princess Chu entering the palace on foot will be widely spread in the palace. Since no one will be aggrieved for her, who let Princess Chu lose the royal face without words and deeds, and she should be punished and punished.

Jiuniang has always been not bad, Xiaocui and Xiaocan know martial arts, so they are naturally not afraid of this journey. The three of them walked all the way, but they were steady, and they did not show any tiredness.

At this moment, a small carriage with a green curtain drove from behind.

Needless to say, this is a courtier or a female dependent of the noble family who has entered the palace, and the status is not low, otherwise he is not qualified to enter the palace by car.

The Qingwei car stopped beside Jiu Niang, and the curtain was lifted from the inside, revealing a beautiful face.

It was Meng Changxi.

She seemed to look at Jiu Niang in surprise, half-concealed her mouth, and said in surprise: "This is Princess Chu, how can she walk forward on foot, didn't the palace arrange a frame for you?" ”

Jiu Niang didn't speak, the little waiter who was in charge of guiding the way looked a little embarrassed, glanced at Jiu Niang, and after carefully saluting Meng Changxi, he went to the side to stand. In his heart, he was slandered, how could he have such an errand, and this Concubine Meng, who was too uninteresting, to ask such an embarrassing question.

Jiuniang raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Changxi, and nodded with a calm face: "Concubine Meng." ”

Meng Changxi rolled her eyes, and said: "The people in this palace are too disagreeable, they actually saw people putting dishes on their plates, it was freezing this day, and Princess Chu was delicate, but she couldn't just walk on foot." Although my car is not big, and I have a maid with me, but it can seat three people when it is crowded. ”

If Jiuniang agrees to take the car, she will become a first-class maid by Meng Changxi's side, if she doesn't get in the car, she will not be considerate of Concubine Meng's kindness, which will definitely be made a big fuss and add another stroke to Jiuniang's already bad reputation.

So Jiuniang was prepared, but she didn't care about this. This Meng Changxi is also a married person, but he has never been smart, and he will only play a few tricks when he plays tricks.

"Thank you Concubine Meng for your kindness, this princess understands it."

Jiu Niang dropped these words and walked forward.

The carriage slowly passed past them, and Meng Changxi's very aggrieved voice came from the car.

“…… I'm also kind, why does she have such an attitude......"

"Concubine Niangniang, don't be angry, this princess of Chu is an intolerable person, you see who doesn't talk about her outside now......" is another female voice, probably this person is the maid next to Meng Changxi.

This master and servant are a team to disgust Jiuniang.

Xiao Cui clenched her fist under her sleeve, but Jiu Niang patted her hand: "Okay, she just came to disgust people on purpose, if we get angry, wouldn't it just happen to be her wish." ”

When the little chamberlain who was accompanying him heard this, he shrank his neck slightly.

The wit between the nobles, inferior people like them have never dared to mix in, and judging from today's situation, I am afraid that there will be another good show in the palace.

The journey from Yong'anmen to the Inner Court is not short, it takes more than a quarter of an hour by car, and even longer on foot.

Jiu Niang had already measured it in her heart, so her pace had always been unhurried, very slow, but she did not show any fatigue.

Xiao Cui and the two know martial arts, and they also know how to preserve the body, do not be impatient when walking a long way, not only must their feet be steady, but their breathing should not be chaotic, once their breathing is chaotic, they will become more and more tired. It is attributed to the fact that Jiu Niang has practiced dance for a short period of time in both her lives, so she is well versed in the method of preserving the body.

After walking for more than half an hour, the gatehouse of the inner court could be seen in the distance.

Jiu Niang gathered the brocade and white fox fur-edged cloak on her body, and asked Xiao Cui to check her appearance before continuing to walk inside.

After walking for almost a cup of tea, I arrived at the Heluan Palace.

Jiu Niang stood under the pedestal under the main hall of the Heluan Palace, waiting for the palace people to go and report.

In the hall of Luan, it is very lively at this time.

After the concubines of the harem came to perform the morning ceremony, they were supposed to disperse, but today it was strange that they didn't leave. This said that the earth dragon in the Luan Hall burned really warmly, and stayed to drink tea with the queen's mother, and rubbed some heat by the way; The one who said that it was very boring to stay in his palace on weekdays, it was better to stay and have fun with his sisters and sisters, and finally held a tea party in the Heluan Palace, and the whole palace room was full of warblers and swallows.

Empress Xiao knew the thoughts of these concubines, but the left was only instigated by Concubine Liu, and the others were in the mood of joining in the fun. She made up her mind to give this disobedient 'daughter-in-law' a dismount, and she was not afraid of people coming to watch the play.

Not long after, Princess Zhao also came to greet the queen, followed by the two concubines on the side of King Qi, Princess Cheng and Concubine Cheng Shanshan arrived, and Princess Zhao also followed, which was really lively.

The big drama is about to start, some people set up the stage, some people cheer, and some people coax, so that it will be lively.

Unbelief?

You see the opening gong has already sounded.

Hearing that someone came to report that Princess Chu was waiting for a summons outside the palace, there was silence in the palace for a while, and then there was another sound of warblers and swallows.

Liu Guifei was rarely enthusiastic today, and pulled Queen Xiao to speak, the two of you say a word, while drinking tea, while playing a sharp edge, it is not cold. The two above are not cold, and the people below naturally dare not be cold. Everyone has their own opinions, chatting with acquaintances, talking about clothes and fabrics, talking about emerging jewelry patterns, and chatting about some children's scriptures.

When Empress Xiao heard the rumor, she glanced at Concubine Liu Guifei with a smile, and her eyebrows were not raised.

"Didn't you see that Bengong was talking to Concubine Liu? Make her wait. ”

The palace people who came to pass the word responded and retreated.

If there is one person in the whole hall who is restless, it is to become a princess.

After all, they have been sisters for many years, even if they are not close, they have lived under the same roof for many years. Xiao Sanniang couldn't see the edge in the meantime, but she wanted to listen to King Cheng's words, since King Cheng asked her to come, she naturally wanted to come.

I forgot to mention it, in fact, King Cheng didn't mention it, he stayed at Concubine Ruan's place all night last night, and only mentioned a few words to Princess Cheng during dinner this morning.

Princess Cheng knew that this was instigated by Concubine Ruan, and since Concubine Ruan entered the door, she and the other party have not dealt with each other much. In the end, everyone is beautiful, from a famous family, and the king is his cousin, and Concubine Ruan didn't toss out any flowers, but some small actions in private always make people feel blocked.

Xiao Sanniang has only been married into the Chengwang Mansion for half a year, and what she sees is thin.

Meng Changxi sat beside Princess Zhao with a smile, glanced at Princess Cheng, and said softly: "This is also from the Lanling Xiao family, and the concubine looks like a princess, and her words and deeds are all models for us, how can this princess of Chu be born......"

The rest of the words were not finished, but with the unexplained huh, everyone knew what she meant.

Princess Zhao Liu Wan has never seen Meng Changxi's style, but King Zhao has no choice but to spoil the other party, and this is Heluan Palace, she can't have a conflict with Meng Changxi in front of people, so she can only disdain it, but she thinks about how to clean up the other party when she goes back, so as to win back a city.

Princess Cheng was sitting precariously looking at the top place, as if she didn't realize it. Just because she doesn't talk doesn't mean that someone doesn't talk about it. Hearing this, Concubine Ruan, who was sitting beside her, covered her mouth and chuckled twice, and said, "Sister Meng, you are really joking, how can this princess of Chu be compared to our princess, the shell is the same, but it does not mean that the hull is the same." ”

Everyone understands the meaning of these words, but it is only clear that Princess Chu is a cheap maid.

So this person, don't look at the queue, just look at whether the interests are similar. This fish is looking for fish, shrimp, shrimp, turtle is looking for Wang Ba, if it weren't for Meng Changxi's big 'Zhao' word on the top of her head, and Ruan's concubine is the word 'Cheng', everyone would really think they were a family.

For the first time, Meng Changxi found that this Ruan Concubine was so pleasing to the eye, and she completely forgot that she was so angry with Ruan Mengling at the concubine selection banquet. And Ruan Mengling was also very proud, I wanted to slap you back then, but now you are the prince's concubine, and I am also the prince's concubine, what else do you look down on me, it's not that everyone sits together and talks together.

The two chatted very speculatively, and saw that there was a trend of drinking tea and chatting together after exchanging famous posts.

and outside the Luan Palace.

Under the corridor is a row of vermilion pillars, and outside the door stand two rows of palace ladies, all of whom are standing with their hands tied and holding their breath, and the entire vestibule is a little unusually quiet.

It's not a good day today, it's all this time, it's still gray, and it seems that the sun doesn't plan to show its face.

The wind was cold, and the wind was not strong, but it was digging into people's clothes. There is a chill in the air, and this chill is getting heavier, and experienced people know that it may be snowing.

If the first heavy snow of the year is completed, the coming year will be a good year with good wind and rain.

Jiu Niang calculated everything, but she didn't calculate that it might snow today.

Now she can only hope that Empress Xiao still has some face, and she doesn't want to be too stiff with King Chu. She didn't care about being tortured, but when she left this morning, King Chu said that she shouldn't play too much, otherwise he wouldn't mind taking her back personally.

In fact, this is all backwords, he just doesn't want her to suffer and suffer. But Jiuniang also figured it out, husband and wife were originally destined to be the same person, and since she became the princess of Chu, she always had to do something.

She can not move those people, and they can't get under her nose, but since she has entered this pool, she always has to muddy the water in the pool to take advantage of it.

A gust of wind blew, followed by tiny snow foam.

Before others found out, Xiaocui found out as soon as possible, she leaned towards Jiuniang slightly, and said in a low voice: "Princess, it's snowing." ”

Jiu Niang lowered her eyes and stood solemnly, and said softly: "It's nothing, what's the hurry, someone is more anxious than us." ”

……

This palace seems to be quite large, but in fact, all the news spreads quickly.

Especially Jiu Niang's entry into the palace this time attracted the attention of everyone, and the Qiē that happened in the Luan Hall was quickly spread everywhere.

East Palace, Hibiscus Hall.

Ruan Ling'er looked out the window with a worried face, not knowing what she was thinking.

A small palace man hurriedly ran in, "It's snowing outside." ”

Xiang'er reprimanded: "It's snowing, it's snowing, what's exciting." ”

Waving off the little palace man, Xiang'er came to Ruan Ling'er's side and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the slave knows that you are in a hurry, but you must be steady, we can't wade through the muddy water over there." Not to mention that we are already in a difficult situation now, even if you want to do something, you will not be famous. This queen wants to punish her daughter-in-law, that is, it will rain and can't stop it, except for today's majesty, who dares to say a word. ”

"......"

"The crown princess has been waiting to catch the pigtails of our Furong Palace, and at this time, you must not make a mistake and let her catch the handle. The slave knows that you are worried about the Nine Niangzi, but if you think about our situation before, it is not easy to get better. After all, Jiu Niangzi is the princess of Chu, and the queen mother just wants to punish her, and she won't do too much. ”

Ruan Ling'er's face turned pale, her dry white lips squirmed, and she still didn't say anything after all.

Life is gradually getting better here in the Furong Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to see her every once in a while...... What is relied on, she understands it in her heart, in fact, Xiang'er also understands it in her heart. It's just that I can't say it, and I don't dare to say it, especially after Jiuniang became the princess of Chu.

She didn't dare to dig deeper, so she could only pretend that nothing happened. But whether there is anything or not, she knows best in her heart.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?"

Xiang'er hesitated and said, "Your Highness is in the Dongnuan Pavilion." ”

Ruan Ling'er straightened the hem of her clothes and stood up: "Let's go find His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Mother-"

Ruan Ling'er hooked her lips and smiled, her smile was as shallow as the snowflakes floating outside, which melted before she landed. "Now that you know that our lives are getting better, we can't let go of such a good opportunity. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't been to the Furong Hall for a long time......"

The end of the intonation rises slightly, light and fluttering, as if a gust of wind blows, and it can be blown away.

Xiang'er's lips trembled and lowered her eyes.
