Chapter 84: The Old Story of the Palace Curtain (1)
Almost overnight, the reputation of the Nine Princesses among the people declined rapidly.
The people of the Zhou State still admired and respected Liu Heng, the great hero of Zhenguo, who was able to capture the monarch of the Soluo Kingdom alive to end the war for many years, so that the imperial court no longer needed to increase taxes, and so that his father, brothers, sons and nephews could return home from the battlefield.
Many people were grateful for his kindness, and even set up an immortal tablet for him at home.
And the ninth princess, who was the most favored by the emperor, dared to bully the only princess of the Zhenguo family in such a public manner, which can't help but make people imagine it again and again. The suspicions of various emperors who actually disliked and were afraid of Zhen Guogong began to spread around.
Secretly, most of the famous families in Beijing despise what the Ninth Princess did, and they all took the opportunity to make fun of her voice behind the scenes. In other words, in fact, the ninth princess likes to participate in the banquets of various families, and likes to put on music to be complimented, and if she doesn't like it, she will look for opportunities to bully people, which has already caused many people to be dissatisfied. It's just that because of her status as a royal princess, everyone doesn't dare to speak up. At this time, she finally kicked the iron plate, and the news that she was slapped in the face instead of being successful in bullying people is naturally exciting.
Today's emperors have spies everywhere and are well-informed, and many of them are known quickly. Not long after the incident, he received a secret report, embarrassing Liu Yue for the ninth princess, and Han Nitrile insisted on his opinion despite trying his best to stop it. Later, in the garden of King Qi, he knew everything about making a fool of himself in public.
At first, he just thought it was a child, and he didn't take it seriously.
When the public opinion in the capital blamed the Ninth Princess, and even many people secretly suspected that he couldn't suppress the news against Liu Heng, the emperor called someone to investigate again but didn't find out why, but inadvertently figured out that the reason why the Ninth Princess didn't like Liu Yue was only because of a set of jewelry. Today, he angrily dropped a white jade Kowloon cup that he likes to use. I was disappointed in this daughter who I had pampered since I was a child.
Jinshang directly issued an order to cancel the privilege of the ninth princess to go out of the palace to attend the banquet. also banned her feet and let her stay in her palace to think about it behind closed doors for half a year, which made the ninth princess thunder, and she couldn't believe it. She immediately wanted to rush out of her dormitory to find her father and ask her father how those eunuchs and palace maids dared to let her resist the decree. So he pulled, hugged, lifted, and coaxed her to calm her down without mentioning it.
Not only was the ninth princess grounded, but even Concubine Shu was implicated and reprimanded by the emperor.
The emperor thought that Concubine Shu had become more and more pampered and arrogant over the years, and this time it was good to take this opportunity to cold her for ten days and a half as a warning.
Yee On Palace.
After being reprimanded by the emperor, Concubine Shu threw a lot of furnishings and tea sets. She didn't blame her daughter, but blamed Liu Yue for all the faults. has been favored for many years, and the current emperor has not set up another queen, and almost all the palace power in the palace is in her hands. In this harem, she is alone, and she has long taken it for granted. She didn't hide it, and just sneered.
"That dead girl is so bad at a young age, and she has a good hand to draw a good painting, and she still tricks my Jiu'er that she has only learned a little. It's so hateful. Next time I'm going to summon her into the palace to take a look, how many tricks does she have? ”
Concubine Shu's words were quickly passed on as important information by the hidden stakes buried in the palace of Mumao Villa.
The person who was specially responsible for sorting out the intelligence did not dare to ignore it, and hurriedly passed the original words of this passage to Liu Heng and An Ruyi. The eldest lady is worried about the lady in power in the palace, if it doesn't attract attention, then what if there is a case? It is related to the safety of the eldest lady in the house, and no one dares to be careless.
Seeing the news coming out of the palace, An Ruyi was confused, shouting that she should not directly use her divine sense to lock Concubine Shu and give her a happy forget. Liu Heng also snorted coldly. But fortunately, he still had his senses, and quickly stopped An Ruyi.
As a cultivator, if he directly kills the lives of mortals, then the power of the thunder tribulation encountered during the future tribulation will increase many times, although with their current situation, it is really very slim to be able to cultivate to the tribulation, but the world is unpredictable, and he is not willing to bury a hidden danger for the future of the two of them.
"Lady don't be impatient, although it is happy like that, but it is too cheap for her, and it is not good for us."
Originally, he thought that the emperor's punishment for Concubine Shu's mother and daughter was enough, and he planned not to care about it anymore. But he really underestimated their stupidity. In that case, why should he show any mercy to their men?
"And what do you want to do?" An Ruyi pouted dissatisfiedly. I still want to attack their baby daughter, it's really a big dog's guts.
"Do you remember the girl we rescued?" Liu Heng smiled mysteriously.
“…… Well, is that the daughter of the Yang family? An Ruyi thought about it sideways, and said suspiciously: "What about Concubine Shu, what are you mentioning her for?" ”
"That's what Concubine Shu is talking about. In fact, you don't know that Concubine Shu will be favored for so many years thanks to her appearance. Liu Heng combed An Ruyi's long hair with his hand, and spoiled his face.
When getting along in private, An Ruyi was very impatient to comb her hair in a bun, most of them were directly scattered, or she simply held her hair and fixed it with a hairpin. One of Liu Heng's favorite things to do is to help her smooth her hair with her hands.
"To be a favorite concubine, of course, depends on her appearance, what's so strange about this?" An Ruyi had a natural expression, isn't this nonsense, isn't Concubine Shu favored by her looks or by her knowledge?
"There are many more beautiful women in the palace than Concubine Shu, although Concubine Shu is good-looking, but she is not the most beautiful, the biggest reason why she can be pampered for many years is actually that she has a deputy who looks three or four points similar to the current emperor's queen Yuan."
"Do you mean that Concubine Shu looks very similar to Empress Yuan, that is, the queen mother of King Qi?"
An Ruyi's eyes widened, she didn't collect much information about King Qi's biological mother, but she only had a rough understanding. People have been dead for so many years, why do she still need to understand so clearly. But it looks like she's missing something?
"Yes."
Since Liu Heng already knew that he could only stand on the side of King Qi in the future, and he had such a big help as Mumao Villa at hand, of course, he would thoroughly investigate all aspects of the Seven Princes. So it's normal to know more.
"Today's feelings for the Empress Yuan are very deep, so when the Empress Yuan died in order to give birth to the Seventh Prince, he will even be angry with his own son today. It's just that after all, it was the son of the woman he loved the most, so he couldn't really be ruthless and really ignore it. At that time, it seemed that he didn't care about him today, but in fact, he secretly sent a secret guard to protect him. Otherwise, how could the Seventh Prince have the opportunity to grow up safely in the cruel environment in the palace. ”
"When Yuan Hou went, he still suspected that someone was harming, but after a thorough investigation, it was really found that at least half of Yuan Hou's difficult birth was because of **. For this, the palace was completely bloodied once. All the people who were involved in the slightest bit were dealt with by Imajo, who was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Therefore, there are almost no people in the palace who still remember the appearance of the Empress Yuan back then. But there is a person in our Mumao Villa who has a deep memory of the Yuan Hou. ”
"Who is it?" An Ruyi was really curious.
