Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pingyang
The royal family has never had any human affection to talk about, let alone sisterly affection, sibling affection, which is a ridiculous and extravagant thing for them.
Born in the royal family, they are already destined to be different from everyone else!
Princess Pingyang was born to the queen, and like Liu Wencheng, she is the main room, if it is in the people, Liu Zhang can only be a concubine, based on this reason, Princess Pingyang looks down on Liu Zhang in her bones.
Especially Liu Zhang's recent groveling to please Qiao Yue, so Princess Pingyang is even more unaccustomed to it.
She thinks that Liu Zhang has not only lost the royal people, but also lost her face, how can a dignified royal child be so humble to a woman who can't explain and understand the people.
For Princess Pingyang's sarcasm, Liu Zhang seemed very indifferent, she had no feelings for him, in fact, it just so happened that he had no reason to be good friends with her, Princess Pingyang didn't know, but he knew that in the past four months, the emperor had begun to weaken the military power of the protector of the country, what was it for, I am afraid that only a few people in the court could know the reason.
Twenty years ago, the Liu family's country was not as big as it is now, to be specific, it should be half smaller, and it has lived south of the Jiuping River for generations, facing each other across the river from Fanzi in the north, of course, there is always friction every year.
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongji, there was a great drought in the south, and there was a locust plague, which was really worse, the emperor Liu Hongji was addicted to lust, and he was already powerless to govern. Ten rooms and nine emptiness, there are civil uprisings in various places. The Liu family's country is in jeopardy.
Shang Xu was the general of the protector at the time, and first led the troops to quell the chaos. He also vigorously recruited soldiers and sent troops to the north of Hu State.
Of course, the purpose of sending troops was not to expand the territory, but to find a place to digest these strong laborers who were restless because of hunger, so there was this battle to the north that changed the fate of the Liu family.
This war was fought for a long time, and it continued until the Northern Hu Kingdom was already a little afraid of the Shun Dynasty, and the result was very good, under the personal leadership of Shang Xu. After a protracted war that lasted for three years, the Shun dynasty finally won the victory.
No one knows how many people died in this war, but what everyone knows is that in the end, Shun won and received a large number of cattle and sheep as compensation.
However, these Liu families never cared, because in this war without reason, the dead were their goal, and because of this war, the Liu family's country was finally stabilized.
Therefore, Shang Xu is a person who is a great favor to the Liu family. What's more important is that Liu Wude obtained the qualification to ascend the throne because of him, that is, Shang Xu came back, overrode the crowd, and asked Liu Hongji to change Liu Wude as the crown prince with a tough attitude.
Of course. This qualification is exchanged for interests, that is, the marriage on the political zhì, the story of Liu Wude and the businessman.
Of course. There is also the birth of the mighty Marquis Feng Chun in the back, sweeping Beihu. The territory of the Shun Dynasty was expanded by half, and then the steel city of Beiyuan was established between the Shun Dynasty and the Beihu Kingdom. It separates these two countries from each other.
Of course, this is all a later matter, expanding the territory and negotiating to save the Liu family are two different things, and they should not be confused.
Liu Zhang smiled and said with the same mockery: "It's better to make a fuss than some people climbing the wall all day long, how about it?" Look at your thick and leafy body, the things of the Tianxiu Palace are really a waste of good things on you! β
Yes, they were all born to Queen Taunggyi, but Liu Wencheng was born with graceful and graceful, handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and followed Liu Wude, and Princess Pingyang is really thick and leafy, with thick arms and legs, plus a big face, it is really not beautiful, even if the beautiful clothes are worn on her, in addition to wasting materials, there is also a kind of funny weirdness.
Of course, there are eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who whispered in private, saying that Princess Pingyang was Queen Taunggyi who had an affair with the national teacher in the Buddhist hall of the harem, which is why Princess Pingyang was born.
This rumor is actually very reliable, because Princess Pingyang's appearance can be seen at a glance that she is the daughter of Lao Wang next door, and she can't get along with Liu Wude.
A woman is still a woman, Liu Zhang directly used her appearance to satirize, where can Pingyang be calm, the two big eyebrows were twisted, and he said angrily: "Hmph... We'll see, there's always a time to catch your tail! β
After speaking, Princess Pingyang stomped her feet in the grass under her feet, and a bunch of bright chrysanthemums next to her were also trampled into mud by her feet, and she looked really angry.
Liu Zhang chuckled, he was very satisfied with the effect of this sentence.
This princess Pingyang is actually a fool and an idiot, and the whole palace is afraid of her, of course, not because she is afraid of her, but because she is afraid of the queen behind her, and even more afraid of the queen's background, so she generally avoids her.
On the other hand, everyone is not afraid of her, and the reason is very simple, just like Liu Zhang now, as long as it is critical to use her appearance to ridicule her, she can always have no more arguments, who calls him the daughter of the old king next door, and can only blame Queen Taunggyi for growing up like this, and can't blame others.
Princess Pingyang trampled on a lot of flowers, and even the grass green of a lot of chrysanthemum leaves was splashed on the shoulder of the stone road next to her, but she still hadn't stopped.
Liu Zhang was about to leave, thought about it and said, "Remember that more than four months ago, you seemed to have forcibly broken into the Tianxiu Palace?" β
Of course, this is not to blame Princess Pingyang, but after his careful consideration, he has made targeted words.
The reason is very simple, Qiao Yue is Feng Chun's biological son, this is something he knows, and Feng Chun is the real proprietor behind the Tianxiu Palace, this matter should always be thought about.
"What's going on?" Princess Pingyang looked sideways, "Isn't it a Tianxiu Palace?" What's the big deal, because the queen mother has already punished me for this matter, and my father has also punished me, what? Do you have to count them all over again?
Phew, the dog mongrel of the little palace girl, what qualifications do you have to teach me! Even in front of Feng Chun in front of the palace, I still don't deny that I did this thing, and this princess dares to do it! β
Liu Zhang was not annoyed at all because Pingyang said that he was a girl from the palace, but a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. handed over the silk that Qiao Yue had entrusted him to the Tianxiu Palace for consignment just now, and said, "How about looking at this female red?" Brother Huang knows that you like embroidery. It's the royal brother who has made amends to you, look at it. This flower didn't mess with you..."
As the saying goes, hit a stick and then give a date, which has always been the royal style of doing things.
As soon as she heard that there was a good embroidery, Princess Pingyang's heart moved, or why would she say that she was a fool and an idiot, the dignified princess was smiling because of a small silk silk.
She couldn't put it down and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, the embroidery is beautiful, this bamboo." This courtyard, as well as the scholars who are reading books in the corridor, are really embroidered vividly, even in the Tianxiu Palace, it is difficult to find such a good thing, and she will definitely like it when she returns to the queen mother! β
Liu Zhang bounced away the grass clippings on his body that he didn't know when, regardless of Princess Pingyang, who was still hanging on the silk, she followed the road outside the garden very freely, turned a few corners and disappeared.
Princess Pingyang couldn't put it down, looking at the silk in her hand. I don't know how long it took, but when I came back to my senses, I didn't see Liu Zhang.
She muttered: "I know how powerful this princess is, for the sake of the gift you gave, this princess will not be as knowledgeable as you!" β
She carefully folded the silk silk in her hand. When she put it in her sleeve and looked at the palace separated by the red wall, her face suddenly became unsightly.
The corners of his mouth pouted. Just as he was about to leave, the little eunuch who had just gone in to deliver the snacks happened to come out with the snacks that were already a little cold.
It's not osmanthus cake. It's not a common dessert in the palace, it looks very special. Some are round, some are boxy, but they are all wrapped in a piece of burnt yellow skin, and just looking at it can't help but make people want to swallow saliva.
"You stop..."
Princess Pingyang shouted commandingly, perhaps because of Qiao Yue's incomprehension of the woman who appeared in the palace out of thin air, or because the emperor had been running diligently this way during this time.
In short, she was very unhappy in her heart, how could Qiao Yue make the emperor so attentive, and even more unhappy because her appearance had taken up all the emperor's time except for the previous dynasty.
What made her even more unhappy was that some princes and princesses in the palace always wanted to get close to here with nothing to do, inquire about things here, and inquire about this village girl from the people, I heard that she used to make tofu, and she was a lowly vendor than the village girl.
Some time ago, I heard people in the palace say that Li Maoyuan, the county commander of Snow River City, was desperate to come and ask to see her, so he had been kneeling outside the palace for three days and three nights, but the emperor still did not agree.
The day before yesterday, Liu Wencheng's teacher Xing Yong was there, she climbed on the wall and saw that Xing Yong was still respectfully saluting, and what she said was too far away, and she didn't hear it clearly.
Yesterday, just yesterday, the imperial historian Wei Zheng also came, she saw it on the wall, Wei Zheng knelt down when he saw her, he looked very scared, as if he was still begging for something, all the qiΔ made Princess Pingyang very unhappy.
A village girl is just a small trader, how can he be qualified to enjoy so much aura!
Just because he looks like a goblin, isn't it amazing?
To put it bluntly, it's not about serving the old man's goods in bed, what's the big deal, and what's the use of being beautiful.
Seeing the dim sum on the eunuch's plate, Princess Pingyang had already thought a lot in her mind for a short time, in short, thinking about it, none of it was a pleasant thing.
Something is wrong there?
Maybe it's because Qiao Yue took up too much of Liu Wude's time, even if the emperor didn't go to Queen Taggyi for a night in the past four months, she was born as Queen Taunggyi's biological daughter, so she naturally wanted to complain about her biological mother.
"Why haven't I seen this kind of snack before?"
She took a piece in her hand and looked at it repeatedly, her voice clearly questioning.
The little eunuch hurriedly knelt in front of her, and said tremblingly: "The princess is angry, this is done in the imperial dining room, and the servants are only responsible for delivering things, not the hands and feet of the servants in private!" β
Yes, this is a very important question, as this eunuch said, if they do these good things in private and deliberately do not send them to Fengyi Palace, it will be a capital crime of beheading.
"The Imperial Dining Room?" Princess Pingyang's eyes widened, "I think they are too long, and they dare to open a small stove for this slut, and they haven't found the right person to make a sycophant!" β
"Hmph..."
She snorted. Of course, I was angry because such a good thing was sent to Qiao Yue, but it was not delivered to Fengyi Hall and her.
Put the fluffy snack in your mouth. She also wanted to taste what it was like to look good.
To her surprise, it was delicious! It's really delicious. It's too much to eat!
Fluffy and silky, it melts in your mouth, and the kind of fragrance that rushes straight to the brain and a faint creamy taste almost swallows your tongue.
Subconsciously, she took another piece from the plate and prepared to put it in her mouth, but she stopped abruptly halfway through.
"Hmph..."
With another cold snort, she looked resentfully at the palace separated by a red wall, and that resentment was much stronger than before.
The temper tantrum came up. He raised the snack in his hand high and was about to slam it down against the green brick on the ground, but he stopped halfway through the movement.
There was a muffled sound, and she kicked over the eunuch who was kneeling in front of her, and with this piece of pinched dim sum in her hand, she walked angrily towards the Fengyi Hall in the depths of the harem.
The meaning is already obvious, this new village girl must be cured, otherwise, the entire palace will become Qiao Yue's minions. How else can this be done?
It's only been a few days since she came, and the dog minions in the imperial dining room all knew that she had opened a small stove, and there was such a good thing that was not sent to the queen at all, so what else could it be?
The wind must not rise. Dezhi, this new village girl must be treated ruthlessly, otherwise she will not know about this deep palace. There is also a person named Queen!
β¦β¦
Princess Pingyang left, leaving with hatred.
Liu Zhang is gone. Leaving with a smile.
Then, of course, someone else came. The Jardine Palace, which is not remote, has never been really quiet, except for the normal people who come to visit, there are always some shrinking eunuchs hiding in various corners to find some reason to approach here.
β¦β¦
The chrysanthemums should be the last wave of the year, the leaves have fallen into bare branches, and the thin look looks like an old man with an old man, even if it is the palace, there is still some desolation when he sees such a scene.
The wind swept off the last yellow leaf on the tree, and the guards guarding the palace gate rubbed their hands and counted the time for the shift, and when the horse galloping out of the side gate of the palace disappeared from sight, the first snow of the year finally came.
The first snow is never big, very fine, not very white, with some shadows of wind and sand, and even slightly yellowish, so except for the cold, there is still no scenery to speak of.
Ahead of the East Gate, turn two streets to Baifu Street, the most interrupted shop in Baifu Street pΓΉ Li shopkeeper baked his hands on the charcoal stove, looked back at the increasingly scarce pedestrians on the street, and said to the busy little guy with a feather duster: "It's snowing, shut it down!" β
The newly repaired door of the store has not yet been smoothed, and it is always squeaky and ugly when closed, and the little guy endures the harsh sound and is about to close the door.
There was a neighing sound outside the door, and in the blink of an eye, the hand that had been tightly covered reached out through the crack in the door, and then the person said, "Is your young master in the store?" β
The little guy looked up, and the man was covered and wrapped tightly, and he saw two eyes that were very gloomy all over his body.
The shopkeeper who finished drying his hand came over, glanced at the token on this person's waist, and immediately said respectfully: "The young master is not here, if the official has anything to explain, the little old man can convey it on his behalf!" β
The tightly wrapped man took out a letter with sealing wax from his arms, handed it over and said, "Remember to hand it over to your young master!" β
With that, the man turned around and drowned in the snowstorm. (To be continued......)
