==Chapter 151==

When the incident happened, King Chu felt that something was not quite right.

At the beginning, the first thing he suspected was the prince, because no matter where he looked at it, the prince had this suspicion. made several gestures of goodwill in a row, so he was planning to make a face for his son in front of Emperor Chengyuan. The king of Chu is a realistic person, and the first thing he thinks about when he thinks about the problem is why the other party did this, and what are the benefits of doing so?

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, this is the nature of human beings. But his reason told him that the prince should not be such a person. It was precisely because of this hesitation that he did not make a conclusion on the spot, and ordered someone to investigate it again.

After checking and checking, many clues were found, and countless signs pointed to King Zhao and King Cheng. Of course, there are some small fish and shrimp in the whole thing, but those are not worth mentioning.

The king of Chu put everything together and thought about it, and almost connected the whole thing together.

It was probably the prince's strange appearance several times in a row, which aroused the suspicion of King Zhao and King Cheng. Just as he thought before, no one in this palace would be good to people for no reason, there must be some plan. So what is the prince plotting? First of all, the prince has no son, and his body is weakening day by day, and now except for Emperor Chengyuan, probably no one will think that the prince can give birth to an heir, so the prince is facing a huge problem, and he is desperate.

If ordinary people don't have heirs, there will be no more, anyway, if they enter the royal temple, there will be incense offerings. But the prince is not an ordinary person, he is the future prince of Daqi, how stubborn Emperor Chengyuan is, everyone knows, so it is natural that King Cheng and King Zhao think that the prince has the idea of succession.

Then King Cheng and King Zhao faced a problem, once the prince succeeded, what kind of drama would they sing? So they were in a hurry, and the two teamed up to set up this game.

Just like Jiu Niang thought, according to common sense, King Cheng and King Zhao would not do this, they would only try their best to avoid this incident, let alone publicize it with such fanfare, because once Emperor Chengyuan really moved this thought, there would be no room for turning around.

But these two people probably know that some things can't be avoided if they want to, so they did the opposite, and first started to publicize the matter, and roasted the crown prince Chu on the fire.

Of course, they are also gambling, betting on Emperor Chengyuan's stubbornness in the matter of the prince, and also gambling on Emperor Chengyuan's suspicion.

Jiu Niang, as a pillow person, can think of things, how could Emperor Chengyuan not think of it, of course he would not think that this matter was led by the prince. The king of Chu lost a pair of legs because of saving the prince, everyone knows that if the king of Chu has any thoughts and deliberately says something in the prince's ear, maybe the prince will really be soft-hearted as he wishes.

As a result, the king of Chu became a person with ill intentions and intentions to confuse the prince, with Emperor Chengyuan's attention to the prince, how could he sit idly by? !

Therefore, this bureau first pitted the king of Chu, and the pit was not light.

Of course, it's not just that, no matter whether the prince has the idea of succession or not, this matter has not happened yet, and everyone who has been publicized knows it, no matter how peaceful the prince is, he can't help but think about it. Wouldn't he think that the whole thing was planned by the king of Chu, in order to make it difficult for him to ride the tiger and succeed the eldest son of the king of Chu?

Although the means are old-fashioned, as long as they work, they are fine.

Once there is a gap between the prince and the king of Chu, the matter of succession will naturally not be resolved, even if there are still waves, but it also gives King Zhao a lot of room to turn around.

It's a no-brainer.

King Chu and King Cheng of Zhao have been fighting wits and courage for many years, but it is the first time they have suffered such a loss, and they have been splashed with a large basin of dirty water on their bodies, and they have nowhere to complain.

The day before yesterday, Emperor Chengyuan called the King of Chu into the palace and found an excuse to reprimand him, seemingly for other things, but in fact, the King of Chu knew very well what it was for. In the past two days, he and his subordinates were busy trying their best to resolve this crisis, but they didn't expect Jiuniang to hear the rumors and make such a fuss.

After listening to King Chu's analysis and speech, Jiu Niang's face was full of shame.

"The reason why I asked the people below to hide this matter from you is just because I am afraid that you will think too much and want to wait for the matter to tell you, but you still know. And you, you don't trust this king. King Chu charged.

Jiu Niang had already been very weak-hearted, thinking that she would be so stupid and fall for someone else's trick, but let her open her mouth to apologize to the King of Chu, and she felt that she couldn't get down with a breath in her heart.

I really can't blame her, if he hadn't hidden himself, how could he be cranky?! And if it weren't for the fact that he didn't like his son, how could he think that he wanted to pass his son away.

To put it bluntly, it's all his fault.

At this time, although Jiuniang felt a little unreasonable, she still couldn't pull her face to apologize to the King of Chu. The cautious Jiuniang in the past has long since disappeared, and she seems to feel that her son has been born, and her waist is stiff, and there is even a kind of nonsense that she deserves.

"You don't want to see our son so much, I, I will have this kind of thought, and you can't blame me." Jiu Niang retorted with red lips.

King Chu's face froze: "I didn't wait to see our son." ”

"You have."

"This king doesn't."

"You obviously have it, every time you see me hugging my son, you have a dark face. Which one is a father, looking at such a big fat boy, will it be your expression? The more Jiuniang spoke, the more she felt that she was right.

Xiao Mumu snuggled in his mother's arms, with baby blue eyes, looking at the man opposite in ignorance, and he had the same behavior, as well as a pair of big eyes. This made the King of Chu look like an accusation, and he couldn't help but have a hint of wolf bèi on his face.

Can he sue her that he actually ate his son's taste?

It definitely can't, so you can't admit it to death.

"You must be mistaken." The king of Chu said very calmly.

After a pause, he said: "As the saying goes, a loving mother is a strict father, this king is a new father, and he doesn't know how to get along with his children. And if this king is too soft in front of his son, how will he teach him in the future? ”

Well, this is indeed a reason, otherwise Jiu Niang would not have used this as an excuse to exonerate the King of Chu before.

"But—" Jiu Niangxi opened her lower lip.

"But what?" King Chu raised his eyebrows.

Jiu Niang cautiously peeked at his expression, and then said weakly: "Even if it's Father Yan, you can't always be like this, Mu Mu will think that you don't love him." ”

King Chu coughed and continued to keep his face solemn: "This king will pay attention in the future." ”

Jiuniang nodded, then lowered her head and grabbed Mu Mu's little hand to play, gave him a whole dress, and touched the diaper under his little buttocks, looking very busy.

King Chu's eyes flashed, and he said with a cold face: "You don't have anything to say to this king?" ”

Jiuniang raised her head, her face dazed: "What did you say?" ”

King Chu's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and Jiu Niang seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "Then how is this matter good?" Have you figured out a solution? "Very anxious.

King Chu glanced at her, "This king has also thought about it, on the cusp of this limelight, say more and make more mistakes, less words and fewer mistakes, anyway, we don't have that kind of mind, let him do it for the time being, don't worry." ”

"But my father's place—"

Indeed, Emperor Chengyuan is a big problem, and this is where King Chu has a headache. To explain, Emperor Chengyuan will think that he is a thief, and if he doesn't explain, he doesn't know what Emperor Chengyuan will do next.

Therefore, the king of Chu has suffered a bit of a big loss this time, and there are not people inside and outside, and the husband and wife have an awkward fight. If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between Jiuniang and King Chu was different, I really don't know what kind of chaos it is now.

"Can you go to the prince to explain?" Jiuniang hesitated.

The king of Chu was stunned: "If he doesn't have this kind of thought, this king will explain, what will he think?" If he really thinks like this, this king will find it clear and say......"

The following words, King Chu did not say, and Jiuniang also understood the meaning.

To put it bluntly, the king of Chu still doesn't trust the prince, and people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, especially in this case, it's really not that the so-called friendship can be smoothed out. Jiuniang couldn't help but hate King Zhao Cheng, these two people were too inferior.

"What can I do about this, I can't talk to the prince, and I can't explain to my father, is this a bad loss?"

Before the words fell, a sudden abdominal sound sounded.

Jiu Niang's face turned red suddenly, and the King of Chu glanced at her and said loudly, "Someone is coming." ”

Soon, Lian Zhi and Chang Shun walked in from outside, both of them looking worried, as if they were afraid that the two would make trouble again.

"Pass the meal."

King Chu and Jiu Niang didn't have dinner, so they used some together. After that, they took a bath, and the two rested.

The sweaty hot and firm texture was tightly pressed against the delicate and soft body, the king of Chu bowed his head and gnawed the soft red lips above and below, Jiuniang was blocked and couldn't breathe, and could only protest in a nasal voice......

The king of Chu turned over, hugged the person on his body, stroked the back of the other party, which was also sweaty, and pulled the long hair that was scattered on it into one piece.

Jiuniang crawled in the arms of the King of Chu, and it took a long time to regain her strength, the two were so close, it was not that this situation had not happened before, but it was the first time that she felt a kind of intimacy.

She stretched out her fingers and unconsciously drew circles on King Chu's chest, and whispered, "Husband, I'm sorry." ”

"Huh?"

"I shouldn't have distrusted you, never again."

"Hmm."

"But you have to be kind to your son in the future, don't hide anything from me, otherwise I will think more, and ......"

"Noise."

The king of Chu turned over and pressed it again.

Outside the house, Lianzhi and Xiaocui glanced at each other.

"Is this reconciliation?"

Xiao Cui nodded hesitantly.

"It's finally raining and the sky is clear."

*

I got up early in the morning and had breakfast, and after Jiuniang went to see her son, she went back to the house to change her clothes and makeup, and was ready to go to the palace to say goodbye.

As long as Empress Xiao doesn't die for a day, this invitation is indispensable, even if she makes a appearance, she has to do it. Fortunately, there are only so many times a month, and if she goes every day, Jiu Niang really doubts that she can stand it.

In the past few days, such a big thing has happened, and it will definitely not be calm when I enter the palace today. However, Jiuniang was mentally prepared, and she also discussed with the King of Chu last night, how to face it, she has her own charter.

After passing the Yong'an Gate, I got on the Qingwei car and arrived at the Heluan Hall all the way safely.

The whole process of asking for peace was very peaceful, and Queen Xiao was robbed of palace power since she was beaten, and she became much more honest, anyway, on the surface. Empress Xiao didn't stay with everyone, and after a few gossips, she let everyone retreat.

Out of the gate of Heluan Palace, in the past, Jiuniang would definitely say hello to Princess Cheng and leave, but King Zhao designed his own house like this, and now Jiuniang has no idea of wanting to live in harmony with each other. Although Xiao Sanniang is a sister of her own clan, in the final analysis, the positions of the two are opposite, and she may not be able to turn her face when she will turn her face, and she is too lazy to do drama again.

It's a pity that Jiu Niang's idea is good, but some people don't want to do what she wants.

"Princess Chu."

But it was Meng Changxi who stopped Jiuniang after beating him.

Jiu Niang stopped and turned her head to look at her, wanting to see what kind of moth she wanted to fix.

Meng Changxi approached Jiuniang in a few steps and said with a smile: "How are you doing lately?" I see that you are a little haggard, and lo and behold, there is a blue underneath your eye sockets. She looked pity and sympathy.

Jiu Niang raised her hand and touched the bottom of her eyes.

Can she say it's the result of barely sleeping last night? Why, if you want to see her jokes, it depends on whether she has the ability to do it!

"Is Concubine Meng concerned about this princess?" Jiuniang raised her eyebrows.

Meng Changxi smiled, her eyes meaningful, "Of course." After all, we are also concubines, if there are any difficulties, you might as well tell everyone about it, we will always help you. ”

Princess Zhao and Princess Cheng don't talk about it, Ruan Mengling likes this kind of scene very much, she has listened to some gossip recently, and naturally understands what Meng Changxi means by 'a little haggard'.

Just like most women's thoughts, no matter how advantageous it is, the child is always a piece of meat that falls from their body, and if a man is willing to do it, it does not mean that a woman is willing to do it. It must be for the sake of succession, Princess Chu and King Chu have a lot of trouble, otherwise Princess Chu, who has always been a special favorite, how could she be so haggard?

For a while, Ruan Mengling thought about it, wishing that Concubine Meng of Zhao Wangfu could say something more, so that she could be happy.

Ruan Mengling has wanted to see Xiao Jiuniang's jokes for a long time, she is also the daughter-in-law of the royal family, why is she Xiao Jiuniang the only pet in the special room, and if she is replaced, she will be alone every day. King Cheng didn't treat Ruan Mengling very well, although he didn't stop with her for the sake of his heirs, his cold attitude was also obvious.

Jiu Niang's eyes flashed sharply, and she smiled brightly, but the words in her mouth were very unkind.

"What is it difficult for this princess to tell you? Meng Changxi, who do you think you are, your face is inevitably too big. ”

Before Meng Changxi could refute, Ruan Mengling hurriedly interjected: "Princess Chu, why can't you understand the words, Concubine Meng wants to know how you feel, isn't it rumored recently that your son is going to be passed on to His Royal Highness the Prince, are you reluctant to give it up?" Do you feel comfortable? ”

Meng Changxi glared at Ruan Mengling incredulously.

Well, she admits that she does think that way. But to say it so clearly? This Ruan Mengling deserves to be a pig, no, pigs are smarter than her.

It's just that this is not the time to target Ruan Mengling, what makes Meng Changxi more concerned is Xiao Jiuniang's reaction. She shouldered the task of testing Xiao Jiuniang today, otherwise she would not have come to trouble the other party here.

Not only Meng Changxi was concerned, but even Princess Zhao and Princess Cheng on the side gathered their eyes, and the palace people waiting under the corridor of the Luan Palace also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what was going on.

As soon as Jiu Niang's heart snorted, she knew. On his face, he was like an enraged female beast, and suddenly jumped up, his willow eyebrows were raised, his eyes were fierce, and his slender fingers pointed directly at Meng Changxi's nose: "Concubine Meng called this princess in a cozy manner, just to see my jokes?" You say you look like a human, why are you so dirty? Are you a member of the Meng family, who didn't know that Queen Hui of filial piety, Huai Jin held Yu, virtuous and virtuous, and her conduct was a model for women, why did the Meng family have such an outlier as you! ”

After reprimanding Meng Changxi, she didn't give up, and turned her head to Ruan Mengling on the side: "And you, who told you that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to succeed my family Sheng'er?" ”

Ruan Mengling didn't expect Jiu Niang to be so aggressive, and she actually scolded Meng Changxi so red-faced that she couldn't speak. She has always been a bully who is afraid of the hard, and seeing that Jiu Niang is so fierce, she has long lost the freedom to see jokes at this time.

"This, this, that's what it's said out there......"

"Outside? Which outside? Who do you listen to? Let's go, you take me to find that person, I want to see who is so in broad daylight, with red lips and white teeth, sowing discord between my Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

This big hat was buttoned so that not only Meng Changxi's face turned pale, but even Ruan Mengling panicked.

Can Ruan Mengling tell Jiu Niang that she listened to the maids serving around her? Because this matter has already spread in King Cheng's Mansion, and he pulled out his maid, and he will inevitably pull out that King Cheng's Mansion is not strict in governing the family, and King Cheng will definitely not be able to spare her when the time comes.

For a while, Ruan Mengling secretly complained, she knew that she would hide on the side and watch the play, why bother to do this.

Over there, Jiu Niang was still angrily reprimanding: "This princess sues you, you have to be responsible when you say it, it just so happens that this is in the palace, let's go to the queen mother to comment, the queen mother doesn't make sense, and the father!" ”

and the palace people waiting outside the Luan Hall all made quail looks, obviously Queen Xiao was inside, and she must have known what happened outside the hall, but there was no movement at all.

One Meng Changxi and one Ruan Mengling, both of them were shocked by Jiu Niang's attitude. In other words, when ordinary people hear this, shouldn't they force the bitterness in their hearts and force a smile on their faces? It shouldn't be this reaction anyway! She's not afraid that things will get bigger? I also have to go to the queen and Emperor Chengyuan to judge!

Jiuniang is indeed not afraid of making a big fuss, if she is serious, she would like to do so. Last night, she and the King of Chu discussed it seriously, and it was not appropriate for the King of Chu to come forward for this kind of thing, but it did not mean that Jiuniang was not suitable to come forward.

Anyway, she is a woman, she is not sensible, she is reluctant to give up her son, so she simply makes trouble. Completely bring this matter to the surface, regardless of what Emperor Chengyuan and the crown prince think, anyway, the attitude of the Chu Palace's mansion is clear, and we don't want to pass our son out.

Jiu Niang just needed a raft, and the two idiots Meng Changxi and Ruan Mengling came out, but it was not as she wished.

Things are like this, Jiuniang is not afraid, anyway, she is reasonable, but it does not mean that Zhao Wangfu and Chengwangfu are not afraid. Princess Zhao and Princess Cheng, who were standing on the side watching the play, couldn't stand still and hurriedly walked over.

"Your Highness said that you are stupid, you still don't admit it, everyone is the same, you angered Princess Chu, don't you hurry up and apologize to Princess Chu!" Princess Cheng is a simple one, she has always had a good face in King Cheng's mansion, and King Cheng has always respected her, so she scolded Ruan Mengling, but there was no pressure at all.

"You are a habitual troublemaker, and your Highness favors you, this matter cannot be tolerated anyway, after returning home, I will show Your Highness, and Your Highness will deal with you." After speaking, Princess Zhao smiled apologetically at Jiu Niang, "Fifth brother and sister, you see, I didn't teach her well as a sister-in-law, I'll make a compensatory deal with you first, and you must not be angry." This matter is not a big deal, but it is just a small quarrel, where is the use of going to the father and the queen mother. ”

It was the first time that Jiuniang had seen Princess Zhao, who had always been silent, so good at talking, and she was also impressed. However, what she wants to achieve is achieved, and she doesn't have to be ugly.

She smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law should teach the concubines in the house well, the people below can't speak, but they will bring trouble to the master." Our Royal Highness and His Royal Highness King Zhao are brothers, so they naturally understand that they don't want to harm their brothers, but others don't see it that way, and people who don't know think that this matter was instigated by King Zhao's mansion, just to provoke the affection of our Chu Mansion and the East Palace. ”

Princess Zhao's face was pale, but she still smiled and said: "What the fifth brother and sister said is reasonable, and you also know my embarrassment, but don't worry, I will definitely show His Highness when I go back to this matter, and I will never whitewash the peace." "Between the words, I will not be favored, and there is a grievance in the house that is favored by the side concubine, and the expression is incisive and extreme.

Jiu Niang's eyes flashed, and she knew that this Princess Zhao was not a simple one, but this matter had nothing to do with her, and she wished that the more chaotic the Zhao Palace, the better.

So, he smiled and said, "This is the best, otherwise I won't tolerate it!" "There is still a sharp color between the eyebrows.

"Definitely, definitely." Princess Zhao pushed Meng Changxi, "Don't apologize to Princess Chu yet." ”

After Meng Changxi and Ruan Mengling endured the humiliation and apologized to Jiu Niang, Princess Zhao and Princess Cheng said a few good words, and Jiu Niang was over.

Looking at the back of Jiu Niang in the distance, Princess Zhao's face was dark and inexplicable, she glanced at Princess Cheng, and said lightly: "Your sister, it's not simple. ”

Princess Cheng forced a smile: "Really? I suddenly forgot one thing, and I still have to tell my mother, so I won't accompany you. After speaking, he hurriedly turned around and entered the Heluan Palace, and Ruan Mengling followed suit.

Princess Zhao glanced at her back, her eyes moved to Meng Changxi's body, and looked at her from top to bottom: "You go back and explain to Your Highness." ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Meng Changxi bit her lower lip tightly, clenched her hands under her sleeves, and stood firmly for a while before following closely.

*

"That's what she said? Do you really want to go to the queen and the father to judge? ”

After listening to the report of the people below, the prince was stunned, and then laughed.

The little chamberlain nodded, and danced excitedly: "That Princess Chu is really powerful, one person fights four people, and Princess Zhao becomes a princess speechless, so she can only apologize to her." ”

Futai walked over and slapped him: "Okay, let me say something, you're like singing a big show, don't get out of here." ”

The little chamberlain said 'hey', touched his head and ran away.

The prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the Chu Wangfu doesn't have this kind of thought, but there is a misunderstanding." ”

Just like the King of Chu had worried before, in this palace, no matter how pure his heart and good character are, he will inevitably think about it a lot. The rumors were rampant, and the prince also guessed whether it was the King of Chu who did something behind him. In the end, the prince was quite calm and waited for the following.

Now that this is coming, although it is not the attitude of the King of Chu, the Princess of Chu is enough to represent the attitude of the King of Chu.

Fu Tai looked at the prince, stopped talking, thought about it again and again, and said softly: "Actually, the slave maid thinks this method is not bad......"

This method naturally refers to the matter of succession.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's okay, not to mention what the father thinks, how the fifth brother and five siblings think, I like it but I don't have to get it in my hands." Look at this East Palace, it seems to be extremely rich, but in fact it is just a quagmire, so why involve innocent people again. ”

Futai wanted to say something, but the prince stretched out his hand to stop: "Don't mention this matter again, it's also a lonely thought, I knew it, but I didn't expect it to affect others again......"
