Chapter Ninety-Five: Heavy Rain Stops People
The princess's face turned cold, and she actually threatened her with the prince.
"Lord, you still have the face to mention the prince, I'm really curious, a person from a big family, how can he be so uneducated, regardless of dignity and inferiority, and then I heard that you were born to a concubine, I just understood, a concubine, no wonder, I don't care about anything with you, I didn't lose my identity, or my father and queen mother, don't think that you are the daughter of the Zhou family, just forget your identity, you are just a concubine now, this palace has not yet you have the share to speak, the treatment you enjoy now is just for the sake of your meritorious pregnancy, it's a pity that some people are shameless. The princess's tone was very calm, but what she said was a sentence of interjection.
"Who says it's not, some people just can't recognize their identity, who is here now is not earlier than entering the palace, and actually showing off his might in front of us, don't want the prince to spoil you now, just treat yourself as a person, and don't look in the mirror." The concubines on the side were busy helping to echo, and there was an opportunity to step on Zhou Xiwan, so they naturally wouldn't miss it.
And Aunt Sun, who secretly formed an alliance with Zhou Xiwan, sat on the side and kept silent.
Zhou Xiwan's face was gloomy, and she clenched her fists tightly, her origin was her eternal pain.
"What's the matter, my princess said that you can't say two words, what kind of face do you put on me, it's really uneducated." The princess slapped the table angrily, she must beat Zhou Xiwan's arrogance.
"Princess, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry, but when the time comes, you will weigh the hearts of others, alas, it's really a bad world, and the person who was kicked out of the house by his father has also severed the father-daughter relationship. It can be seen that people who are virtuous and degraded, but they have not yet had a little shame, but they are still showing off their power here. The concubine hurried to persuade her.
"I'm fine, I'm in charge of such a big palace, no one has ever seen it, if I really care, I would have been angry to death, but it's not like everyone is like my sister, so I feel so relieved." The princess patted the concubine's hand and swept her cold eyes over the women in the hall. Hum. This room full of women, which one is aggressive, and in the end, she didn't all clean it up.
"Sit down" The princess hung Zhou Xiwan for a while before letting her sit down.
"Compared to the arrangements in the house these days. You know that, too. His Majesty and the Queen Mother will come to the house. Take care of yourselves, and don't show your face, if anyone dares to appear before His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Don't blame me for being polite, this is a major matter related to the prince, if anyone leaks, even if I am gracious, then you don't want to think about it, do you remember it? The princess looked at the crowd.
"Remember," the crowd responded.
"Princess, the princess asked the concubine to assist the princess in handling the reception of His Majesty and the queen's mother, and made a concubine in the house, and found that some flowers and plants in the garden still did not meet the requirements of the prince, and the prince wanted the palace to show a thrifty and not luxurious scene, but the flowers and plants planted in the garden are rare varieties, and now it has just entered spring, and some of the flowers in the flower room have moved out. Oh, it's the concubine who has a lot of mouths, and the flowers in the garden are all flowers that are the princess's favorite things, and the princess is naturally unwilling to cut her love. ”
Zhou Xiwan interjected, she was unhappy, she couldn't make others happy, since she dared to humiliate her, then she would pull out the princess's love, but she knew how much the princess liked those flowers.
The princess held the teacup in her hand, and her face was condensed.
"I really have a sharp tooth, okay, since you said it, this princess is naturally everything focused on the prince, the prince's affairs are the most important thing, my preferences are not important, Mama, tell me to go down and pull out all the flowers in the garden." The princess's face was very calm, as if it was not her favorite.
"The princess is virtuous, the princess knows, and he will pay more attention to the princess, presumably after the matter has passed, the princess will give the princess better tweed, and then the younger sister will be stained with the princess's light." A concubine complimented.
The princess smiled and glanced at Zhou Xiwan with disdain, the tricks Zhou Xiwan played were all leftovers from her play, fighting with her, it was not that she looked down on Zhou Xiwan, but Zhou Xiwan was too tender.
After the greeting was over, Zhou Xi walked out of the princess's room in a hurry.
The grandmother who was waiting outside hurriedly followed behind Zhou Xiwan and persuaded, "Master, don't be angry yet, the more angry you are now, the happier the princess and their sisters will be." ”
"How can I not be angry, I really hate my origin, let them humiliate me like this, what about the concubine, in the future, I must stand in the center of ten thousand people and accept everyone's worship." Zhou Xiwan swore secretly.
Mama didn't know how to persuade her.
"Sister Zhou, wait." Aunt Sun chased after her.
"You are still two years younger than me, then I will call you a sister, forgive my sister for talking too much, you really shouldn't have been the princess just now, the princess is arrogant, she loves face the most, and there are two Aunt Zhang who love to pat on the side Aunt Yu squeezed you on the side, how can you end up well, sister, you are smart, how long has it been, you have stood up in the house, who is this relying on, not the prince, as long as the prince cares about you, the prince gives you a head, why do you have to confront the princess head-on." Aunt Sun reminded secretly.
This week Xiwan still can't do it, she lost in two rounds, I hope Zhou Xiwan won't be pressed by the princess and can't raise her head, otherwise she won't have a good show, she is still waiting for Zhou Xiwan and the princess to fight in depth, she can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"I understand, I was careless this time." Zhou Xiwan calmed down, and knew that she was the one who took the initiative today, and she shouldn't deal with the princess head-on, she didn't have the strength now, just look at the people in the hall, and none of them spoke to her.
"It's good that my sister understands, take your time, let's not worry, you have this golden bump in your stomach, you don't want anything in the future, you are much better than me in this regard." Aunt Sun glanced at Zhou Xiwan, who had not yet raised her belly, full of envy.
I really can't remember this child, although she tried her best to drink tonic medicine secretly, and when the third prince came, she also made medicinal food for him, and she looked at the one who could conceive a son and a half daughter early, but unfortunately there was no movement for so long.
Zhou Xiwan touched her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and there was a smile on her face.
In front of the gate of the "Greeting Father, Queen and Mother", the three princes and princesses took the subordinates in the palace to greet the emperor and queen at the door.
"Hurry up. This day I just sat down with your mother and your house, and I just came to my son's house as an ordinary parent, and I didn't need so many rules. The Emperor waved his hand to get the two up, apparently in a good mood.
"Thank you, Father, Mother" The third prince got up and walked over to help his father, "Father, it's just right today, and my father should be out and walk around more, but it's a pity that my father is busy with state affairs." You can't leave the palace often. Sometimes the sons really hope that the father and the queen mother are like the fathers and mothers of ordinary people, so that the sons can take your second elder to live in the sons and daughters' mansions, so that the sons can do their filial piety and stay by your side at all times. Now, although I can see my father and queen mother when I enter the palace every day. But I still don't have enough time to spend with you. The third prince said with some sadness.
"I know your filial piety. Good boy, I and your queen mother are in good health now, so you don't need to worry too much. As long as you can help me deal with the government and share my worries, I will be very happy. The emperor said happily.
"Your Majesty, today I came to my son's house to sit down, I came to talk about family affairs, but I didn't come to talk about government affairs, today Your Majesty might as well put down the government and relax." The queen followed behind and reminded with a smile, and the third princess carefully caressed the queen and walked into the palace.
"Hahaha...... Okay, let's not talk about the government, but I heard that the third child likes to fight against some literati and scholars, and the scenery of the garden in this mansion belongs to you except for my palace. "The emperor was in a good mood and wanted to go to the garden.
"Father, the scenery in the garden used to be good, but now it's just ordinary, the son follows the father to help deal with the major affairs of the court, every year there are so many places affected by the disaster, everywhere needs money, the disaster happens, the father is very worried, the son hates himself for not being able to help the father and the emperor anything, so I have to start from myself, cut down on food and clothing, save money, in case of emergency, when the time is also a little caution of the son, before the son was young, only know to enjoy a luxurious life, I don't know how difficult it is for the father to fight the country and guard the country, now understood, hopefully it's not too late. The third prince looked at his father very sincerely, he had said these words many times in his heart, not too direct, but also full of feelings, but not too abundant, so as not to act fake, so as to make his father suspicious.
"Okay, good, my son has really grown up, and I know that it is not easy to guard the country, and I am very relieved." The emperor held his foot and looked this son up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
The queen and the third princess, who were standing behind the emperor and the third prince, glanced at each other, and both of them had smiles in their eyes.
The emperor and empress watched a scene carefully arranged by the three princes, and happily returned to the palace in the evening.
After returning to the palace, the emperor was obviously in a good mood, and said to the queen: "The third child has been really good during this time, and he has matured a lot, and he knows that it is not easy for me." ”
"This is all taught by Your Majesty, and besides, the children are also older, and it is time to share your worries for Your Majesty, and the concubines are very pleased that the children have grown up, so that Your Majesty does not have to be so tired." The Empress gave the Emperor a gentle squeeze on the shoulder.
"Or do you know to be considerate of me, the children have grown up, and I have grown old." The Emperor patted the Empress's hand.
"Your Majesty is not old, and the concubines are still looking forward to Your Majesty being able to walk hand in hand with the concubines for a hundred years, at that time it must be a good story between the emperor and the queen." The queen laughed.
"If I live to that time, I won't be blamed and die by my children, there are some things that I should see more before making a decision." The emperor said vaguely, but the queen also heard it, and thought about it in her heart, it seems that her son did a good job this time, so that His Majesty has thought about it.
Don't blame her for her mother's eccentricity, two sons, she favors the younger son the most, not how good the younger son is, but the younger son never disobeys her, and is very filial and obedient, they all say that a woman's life is longer than a man's, her current health is very good, in the future, His Majesty will definitely walk in front of her, she is naturally willing to be a comfortable queen mother, the next obedient emperor's son is much more important than a less obedient son, and she will be the most noble woman in her later years-
"It's raining heavily...... Frozen to death......" Jinxiu on the carriage looked at the heavy rain outside, and quickly lowered the curtains and complained.
"Don't complain, the guards and coachmen outside don't say anything, you are still yelling in the carriage, how do you let the family live." Zhou Xiya glanced at the splendid scenery, leaning in the carriage, the weather was fine when she was on the road in the morning, but it rained heavily in the afternoon, and it was menacing, and they had not yet arrived at the next place to stay, so they could only rush to the next place to stay, looking forward to hurrying to the next place where they could stay.
"Xiya, there is a village in front, let's go to the village to stay in the village for a while." Li Mu shouted outside the carriage.
Zhou Xiya hurriedly lifted the curtain to look out, looked at Li Mu who was riding on a horse in a robe, and shouted: "Why are you in the rain, hurry up and get into the carriage to avoid the rain." ”
"I still have to go to see the convoy behind, the rain is too heavy, the road is muddy, it's easy to get into it, I'll go to the back and have a look, you guys go over first." After speaking, Li Mu rode to the back, followed by a large caravan, which was full of goods.
"Miss, it's not easy to do business, it's raining heavily, and the goods should go or go." The cold wind blew in from the window, and Jinxiu unconsciously shrunk her neck.
"Yes, it's not easy to do anything," Zhou Xiya nodded.
Soon, they entered the village, Zhou Guangbi went in and talked to the people in the village, and found Li Zheng, Li Zheng saw too many people, so he arranged people to the ancestral hall in the village, the ancestral hall in the village is quite big, everyone is there to lay on the ground, the village is not rich, and the food is taken care of.
"Get off" Zhou Xiya got off the carriage, Jinxiu followed him with an umbrella, and the rain soaked the embroidered shoes, but at this time, it can't be tidy, and it's good not to drench the soup chicken.
"You guys go in first, I'll go see what's going on with Li Mu in the back." Zhou Guangbi came running over.
"Be careful, put on your robe." Zhou Xiya was not at ease to advise.
Seeing Zhou Guangbi running out of the ancestral hall, Zhou Xiya instructed the people who followed her, "I remember telling you to buy ginger, but I was afraid that I would get cold when it rained, so hurry up and boil ginger syrup to ward off the cold for everyone, and make some meat porridge for dinner, this warms the stomach, and makes cakes for those guards." ”
"Yes, miss, the slave will do it." Mama Liu nodded, and took them to find a place to cook.
This time, Zhou Xiya went out, not with Mama Zhou, but with Mama Liu, and let Mama Zhou keep an eye on things at home.
Zhou Xiya stood at the gate of the ancestral hall, looking at the heavy rain outside the door, and was a little anxious to see the people behind.
When she saw their convoy, Zhou Xiya breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted them.
At this time, Li Zheng's house in the village, Li Zheng had just returned to his house, hung his clothes at the door, and said with a smile to the guards guarding the door: "It's raining heavily today, and I stopped Gongzi in our village, you see, I don't have any preparations, I don't know what Gongzi wants to eat, I let my inside-in prepare?" ”
Yesterday there was a group of people in the village, everyone rode a tall horse, and at first glance he was a person of status, so he gave up his home and lived in a neighbor's house to make a living, this rich man was really generous, and he gave a lot of silver, so he was also dedicated.
Unexpectedly, another caravan came today, but there were too many people and it was raining heavily, so he couldn't arrange it. (To be continued......)
