123, Defeat (word count 4000+)

The nurse couldn't help but say angrily: "Miss, the people of this Sheng family really don't know how to be polite, righteous and shameful, and they are still a scholarly family!" Sheng Xue saw that she hadn't said anything yet, and the nurse was already indignant. Ah Hua looked at the nurse suspiciously and asked, "Isn't it already separated?" Why is your skin still so thick? ”

"Isn't it because the master has been promoted, and the young lady has become a princess again?" The nurse's eyes revealed a strong disdain: "These people tend to be inflammatory, thinking about the face they treated the young lady in the past, they are afraid, this time to please our orchid garden, want to mend the relationship!" ”

Sheng Xue smiled coldly: "Scholarly family? A Pig Dog! She pinched the post and almost crushed it raw. The nurse looked at Sheng Xuejian with some hesitation and asked, "Miss, this post says that the fourth lady of the Sheng family will come to the door in person with gifts tomorrow, shall we see or not?" ”

"Daddy has just been promoted, and at this time they have already bowed their heads, if we don't agree, I'm afraid there will be bad rumors about Daddy, and the imperial history in the hands of the prime minister will also take the opportunity to ask for a copy. It's just a matter of meeting, and it's okay. Although she was not happy in her heart, Sheng Xue saw that she had agreed this time, but she had another idea in her heart.

When Shopkeeper Li came yesterday, he mentioned that the informant he had placed in the Sheng family reported that the idea of giving gifts was mentioned by the fourth lady. Sheng Xue thought that if Sifang really wanted to mend the relationship, he would not wait until now. If the fourth lady is really the prime minister's person, this time it must have a purpose. This gift giving is just the right way to verify the original speculation of Bai Zi's painting. Will her four aunts come out of the way?

When Ah Hua heard that Miss was still planning to meet her, she couldn't help but scold: "I really don't know shame, Miss is really a Bodhisattva." "Ah Hua can't understand the situation of the court, she naturally has that scale in her heart." Okay, don't talk about this annoying thing, tomorrow's New Year's banquet must be lively, how are the dishes that my father likes prepared? Ah Hua hurriedly replied: "It's been prepared for a long time, don't worry, Miss!" ”

"Did I get the longevity lock I let Xue Han give to him a few days ago?" Sheng Xue saw that her younger brother had a bad fate when he was born, and she loved him so much that she couldn't wait to pick all the stars in the sky to him. Therefore, Sheng Xuejian specially ordered someone to create a pure gold longevity lock and put it on his younger brother Sheng Xuehan.

Speaking of which, his younger brother Sheng Xuehan is also talented and intelligent. The other person only began to babble when he was a big month, and he could still speak coherently in sentences. When she heard her younger brother call herself "Sister", Sheng Xue was so happy and excited to see how happy she was. She had already made up her mind in her heart, even if it was for Sheng Xuehan's future. She also has to be in Shengjing, planning step by step, fearless of hardships and dangers!

The nurse brought up the gift list again: "Miss, this is the gift list, and there are colleagues and superiors who are familiar with the master." And the old man's friend, look at it, if there is anything missing. If there is a problem, the slave and maid will change it. ”

Sheng Xue saw that she took the gift list and looked at it carefully, and when she saw Lord He of the Ministry of Officials, she suddenly remembered the scene of that day, in order to make Lord He no longer have the idea of getting married, she did a little too much that day, and she still couldn't go away in her heart, so she raised her head and asked: "Lord He is my father's best friend." This gift is more heavier, I heard that Lord He's mother came in and was not in good health, so she added two hundred-year-old ginseng to it. ”

The Apocalypse is preparing for the New Year, and in this palace, preparations are naturally indispensable. The emperor specially decreed that this year's palace banquet will still let Lin Guifei co-manage the queen. Everyone knows the status of this Concubine Lin in the emperor's heart. There are also people who secretly cry out for the queen, when the queen is virtuous and virtuous, and the mother is the world. Whether it is appearance or talent, it is not under Lin Guifei. But the emperor just doesn't look at it, and it's also sighing.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh slightly. If she hadn't insisted on letting the daughter of Mrs. Song's family marry the emperor, maybe today's queen would be happier and more comfortable. It's just that it's too late to regret everything.

After the next dynasty. The chief eunuch accompanied the emperor, walking in the imperial garden, the snow was at the beginning of the day, the plum blossoms were blooming just right today, and although the barbarian matter was resolved, it failed to embarrass Prince Gong, but after all, the border was too peaceful for the New Year. It's also a comforting thing. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter, which attracted the emperor's attention.

"Who is this frolicking in the Imperial Garden? Why don't you take a look?! The chief eunuch looked at the emperor's expression, and loudly demolished a small eunuch to investigate. The emperor's heart suddenly moved, and he raised his hand and ordered: "You go quietly, see who it is, and then come back quietly." ”

The little eunuch nodded, and went quietly. Among the dense plum trees, the queen is facing the snowman with the eldest prince in a clearing, the queen picks the plum blossoms that bloom on the tree, and makes eyes for the snowman, her eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, obviously really happy, and her plain serious and cold face is full of vigor and vitality at the moment. The little eunuch had never seen such a bright and moving queen mother, and he was a little stunned.

It took him a long time before he remembered that he was going back to his life. Then he turned back in a panic and saw the emperor: "Back to the emperor, it is the queen mother who took His Royal Highness the eldest prince to build a snowman in the plum blossom forest." The slave had never seen the queen smile so much......" In the middle of speaking, the little eunuch's face turned pale, and he realized that his words were too much, so he quickly closed his mouth.

However, the emperor's curiosity was aroused by the little eunuch, and he made a gesture to let the eunuchs wait in place, and walked quietly by himself. Through the cover of plum blossoms, he saw a completely different queen. On weekdays, the queen always looks cold and high, and when she faces herself, she goes on a blind date, and he can't think of any other adjectives.

But today's queen amazed him. This person's smile and figure are clearly the lively and bright Song family eldest lady he saw in the Taifu Mansion when he was a teenager. It is clearly Song Jingmin who dares to instruct him to pick peaches, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is!

In fact, the emperor's heart for the queen was earlier than that of Concubine Lin. So when he was still the queen mother of the queen, when he asked him to marry the queen as the princess, he was happy in his heart. But since Lin Jingmin married into the palace, she has become the dignified and virtuous wooden man she is today. The emperor knew that there was already a person living in her heart.

No matter what method the emperor used, the queen was still the same. Since then, the emperor's heart for the queen has become cold.

Later, Lin Guifei entered the palace, and more concubines entered the palace, and the emperor had gradually forgotten the emotions of his youth, and his love for the queen had turned into a kind of hatred and unwillingness.

Unexpectedly, today's queen under the plum tree made the emperor excited again. He was about to step forward and build a snowman with them, but he hesitated as soon as he took a step.

At this time, the eldest prince looked at the queen with a smile and asked, "The queen mother is really idle." You still have time to build a snowman with the emperor~ This tomorrow is the palace banquet, and you are not busy with the queen mother? Unexpectedly, the queen sprinkled flower petals on the snowman's body, and said indifferently: "Concubine Lin is bent on the palace banquet and wants to behave well in front of His Majesty." She'll definitely be interested, let her be busy. Let's play ours! ”

When the emperor heard this, his expression darkened, and his women were busy currying favor with him, but what about the queen. I never had that thought of it at all. Looking at the queen's smile at this moment, the emperor became more and more angry. Lin Jingmin, how could your smile ever give me a penny?

On the morning of the second day, the ministers shouted long live to congratulate the New Year. The emperor also issued a holy decree above the court, giving the adult princes and princesses the title of house, and these adult princes and princesses will live in their own mansions outside the palace in the future. What is a little surprising is that the second prince, who has always been quite favored, obtained the title with the eldest prince this time. It's the same portion.

The eldest prince was named King Xian, and the second prince was named King Hui, and the two were of the same rank. And King Xian's mansion is closer to the palace than the second prince. Although the eldest prince is the eldest son, the status of this eldest son in the apocalypse is really not as good as that of the second prince. This time, the emperor made such a will, but the ministers couldn't figure it out.

After Lin Guifei in the palace heard the news, she was so frightened that she dropped the jade chopsticks in her hand: "How can this be?" Her expression turned cold and she immediately ordered: "Go and check if the emperor has been to the queen's palace in the past few days, by the way, the queen and the eldest prince have ever asked to see the emperor!" "Could it be that the queen and the eldest prince who have always had no intention of courting are pretending. At this time, the fox's tail was finally revealed?

Everyone didn't know the emperor's thoughts, and after the next dynasty, the emperor stayed in the upper study. He unfolded an old painting, and the person on it was depicted. It was the queen of her youth. At that time, she was still the eldest lady of the Taifu family, and she had a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, which made people fall in love at first sight.

The emperor sighed faintly, and gently stroked the cheek of the person in the painting: "Jingmin, after so many years, why do you still treat me like this?" You know. As long as you give me a glimmer of hope, I will ...... for you What are these mountains and rivers? But ......" went to the study, and there was a slight sigh in the air.

The eldest prince was in the queen's palace, with his head resting on the queen's lap and throwing pastries into his mouth with one hand. The queen's face was worried: "You won't be able to come to the palace often in the future." Although he was crowned king, the king of the county must ask for an edict at other times except for the specified time to enter the palace. You won't be able to eat the soup made by the queen mother every day. ”

"Don't be afraid, it's a big deal that Erchen will come in over the wall in the future. Or come in disguised as a eunuch! The eldest prince said this, with a full face

Make nothing of. "Anyway, my father's mind is not in the heart of his son."

"Stinky boy! Can't you have a little bit of talent, behave well, and when you are promoted to the prince, won't you be able to enter the palace to see the queen mother at any time? The queen was deliberately angry, twisting her brows and tugging at the eldest prince's ears. The eldest prince immediately wailed: "Queen Mother, tap it, I feel pain!" ”

"Humph! Do you know it hurts? You little debt collector! The queen was also distressed, and as soon as the emperor shouted that it hurt, the queen quickly let go. The emperor smiled shyly: "It's not that the queen mother doesn't know the attitude of the father towards his sons." Erchen has no intention of fighting between the two emperors and brothers, so why bother with himself? ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't know about you? Your talents and virtues are above cassia level, but your heart is not above the court at all. Heavy building, the queen mother can protect you for a while, but she can't protect you for a while. Regardless of whether you will have a party dispute with Huangfu Cassia in the future, the Queen Mother only hopes that you can have the power to protect yourself, do you understand? ”

"Erchen knows, and when that day comes, Erchen will be prepared." Huangfu Chonglou didn't want to listen to the queen mother's nagging, and fled from the queen's body. The queen looked at her beloved son and could only sigh slightly.

After the afternoon, the four ladies of the Sheng Mansion came to the Orchid Garden with generous gifts. The porter and the people who greeted them were all instructed by Sheng Xuejian, and they all treated each other politely, and they did not embarrass the fourth lady. When she arrived at the outer hall, Sheng Xue also got up with a smile to greet her, everything was the same as before, but the fourth lady's heart was slightly strange. She always felt that something was not right, but she couldn't say what was wrong.

Sheng Xue was very happy about the gift sent by Kong. The fourth lady took the opportunity to say: "There are also muffins made by me, your favorite food in the past, I specially made some for you to taste." By the way, I also brought a duanyan to the second brother. Sheng Xue saw a smile and nodded.

The two talked for a while, until the fourth lady left, Sheng Xue saw that she was very intimate with the fourth lady. As soon as the fourth lady left, Sheng Xue saw that she immediately invited Bai Zihua who was waiting in the back hall. Bai Zihua examined the things brought by the four ladies one by one. The subordinates also changed the clothes on Sheng Xuejian's body and handed them over to Bai Zihua for inspection.

Sure enough, a few small Gu worms were found in Sheng Xuejian's clothes, don't look at these Gu worms that seem ordinary, but in fact they are all deadly Gu worms. Bai Zihua immediately gave Sheng Xue a pulse, but fortunately, before seeing the fourth lady, she had already taken precautions, took the antidote pill, and also carried the sachet painted by Bai Zihua. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.

The nurse led the people to burn all the unclean things. The outer hall has also been cleaned up. That's just a little reassuring.

"It seems that the prime minister is ambitious and wants to let Miss you and Master Sheng accidentally die at home!" Bai Zihua gritted his teeth a little: "I didn't expect that Kong Shi was such a vicious person for the tiger!" ”

"My mother must have been killed by her! How can I make her better! Sheng Xue only felt that the blood around her body was coagulated, and when she saw those Gu worms with her own eyes, her heart was shocked, such a dangerous person, she actually believed it so much. It was her carelessness that cost her mother's life!

How can she forgive herself? She can't forgive!

Hongmei leaned over and asked, "Miss, what are you going to do?" Sheng Xue smiled coldly: "The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, if I don't die, the matter of the Kong family has been exposed." How could the prime minister keep her alive? If I don't use the knife, someone will naturally solve her! ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the orchid garden gathers together and is lively. On the second day, Prime Minister Lin Cheng's long-awaited movement did not happen. On the third day, the fourth wife of the Sheng family, Kong, died suddenly, and the cause of death was not investigated. (To be continued.) )
