Chapter 15:77 The heart is cold

The fact that Princess Duanrong had no face for Empress Taishang soon spread throughout the entire autumn hunting team.

From the experience of the eldest princess Duanrong, he was forced by the emperor and sent to kiss, and finally struggled to survive on the grassland, and had a son, as a result, her husband was killed by her mother's family, and her son was also killed by her mother's family, and it was good that he didn't go crazy.

From the perspective of Daqi, even if Princess Duanrong is the concubine of the Emperor Taishang, he is not qualified to betray Daqi. Not to mention that his husband and son have different intentions, even if there is no disagreement, as long as that tribe threatens Daqi or moves troops, Daqi has the right to send the husband and son of Princess Duanrong to the guillotine. Not to mention, Princess Duanrong is just the concubine of the Emperor Taishang, and she is also a concubine whose reputation and virtue are quite questionable.

Almost everyone who knows the old story of Prince Yizhong back then knows that Her Royal Highness the princess swayed from side to side between several princes, and regarded the lives of her brothers as a matter of her own ladder to the top. Therefore, most of the old people who have experienced those things stay away from Princess Duanrong, and even the newcomers in the officialdom, who are well-informed, or who adhere to principles, will not have any contact with this princess.

Because the risk is too great.

Once Princess Duanrong did something, once she was found to have betrayed Daqi. As the daughter of the Emperor and the princess of Heqin, Princess Duanrong can still end up mourning after death, but his lackeys and henchmen will definitely not end well.

Not to mention that now, the eldest princess of Duanrong actually confronted the queen in public!

You must know that although Queen Taishang is a concubine, she is on the throne. But in the end, it is the mother-in-law of Princess Duanrong, and Princess Duanrong must maintain etiquette when facing Concubine Zhen, who is younger than him. Not to mention the queen of the queen's mother-in-law.

Therefore, the people in the entire autumn hunting team avoided Princess Duanrong.

On the contrary, it was Princess Duanrong herself, who seemed to not know that she was being avoided by others, and still ate and slept well every day, and when it was time to set the province in the morning and dusk, she would fix the province in the morning and dusk, even if the queen ignored him. As long as Empress Taishang didn't hit him on the head, he would treat it as if the collision had not happened that day.

The attitude of Princess Duanrong made many noble ladies scratch their heads.

This autumn hunt. In fact, there are not many female dependents who come. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the families of several prime ministers, Liang Jian's wife was the first to decline the invitation of Qiu Hunt in the name of her advanced age. Therefore. Several of Liang Jian's daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law were not in the autumn hunting team. This is true for most of the real power faction and the Qing school in the court. The ladies of these families came to hunt in the autumn. Hardly. Either the elders are old, or they are giving birth, or they are simply sick, and if they can't come anyway, they won't come. Looking at it, the female dependents on the autumn hunting ground, except for the Emperor Taishang and the current concubine, are the princesses, and they are not the same. It is the daughters of the four kings and eight princes.

The princess and the clan relatives or something can be counted, but the four kings and eight dukes. No, without Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu, the ladies who should now be called the families of the Four Kings and Six Dukes, their political vision is not very good.

In other words, the current family of the four kings and six princes, whether it is a man or a woman, has no political vision.

The Beijing Mansion is a special case.

When the current King of Beijing, Shui Rong, succeeded him, he was still young, but he was only eight or nine years old, and he could only rely on his mother, Princess Nanjing, to do everything. But this concubine also disappeared when she was eleven years old.

It can be said that from that time on, the military power of the Beijing Palace's palace was no longer in the hands of the King of Beijing. King Beijing was also interested, knowing that he could not be in charge of the army like his grandfather and father, so he simply raised some Qing guests at home, feasted and drank all day long, listened to operas, enjoyed flowers, visited the garden, and even raised a lot of pet concubines, pretending not to love power and beauty.

I have to say that King Beijing's actions are still very useful, at least the Emperor Taishang and the current emperor are still very kind to him on the surface, and they are often rewarded.

Therefore, although King Beijing has no actual power, in the eyes of the people below, he is the favored retainer of the Emperor Taishang and the emperor, and he is also a very small number of favored retainers who are both sides of the favor.

This also makes it possible that after the defeat of the Nan'an Palace, the Beijing Palaces have faintly become the leaders of the four palaces with different surnames.

This made Princess Beijing raise her eyebrows, but at the same time, she had a faint sense of crisis.

Now when the princess of Beijing marries into the Beijing Palace, Shui Rong is already an empty prince. It is said that this family affair was originally chosen by Shui Rong himself, and for this reason, Shui Rong also politely rejected the candidates proposed by the Emperor Taishang and the emperor. It can be said that Princess Beijing, who has just married into the Beijing Palace, is proud.

His mother's family is not weak, and King Beijing politely rejected the candidates of the Emperor Taishang and the current emperor for him, how many people in this world have such a deep and meaningful husband?

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

However, in three years, because Princess Beijing's stomach did not move, King Beijing began to take concubines. At the beginning, King Beijing still remembered that he couldn't bear to make Princess Beijing's face ugly, and all of them were concubines, although they were concubines, but the rules of the palace were that only the side concubines were serious side rooms, and those concubines were just a thing. Princess Beijing didn't take these concubines as a thing originally, but she just felt sour in her heart and sighed that her stomach was not angry.

I don't want to, those concubines were favored by King Beijing, and their hearts were big, so they actually joined forces and calculated on the head of Princess Beijing. Princess Beijing didn't watch out at that time, and was severely pitted. Even if the truth was revealed later, the concubines were gone, but King Beijing and Princess Beijing were separated from each other.

Over the years, Princess Beijing has not only had a group of concubines, but even the positions of several side concubines have been full. Those side concubines who have been born and raised, on the bright side, respect Princess Beijing as her sister, and there are no less jokes behind her back that Princess Beijing is a hen that does not lay eggs. The good marriage and good husband that Princess Beijing envied her sisters and friends back then have become a joke.

Princess Beijing thought that she was like this. But who would have thought that the Beijing Palace, which was previously pressed by the Dongping Palace, the Nan'an Palace, and the Xining Palace, would turn over and become the leader of the four families one day?

In the past, these three families had military power in their hands. So I can't look down on the Beijing Palace, which is a royal pug, and even the Princess of Beijing, in public. was also ridiculed by the female relatives of these three families. As a result, now these three families not only did not ridicule him, but began to curry favor openly and secretly, and even hinted that he went to the Empress Taishang and the queen to beg for mercy.

The first feeling in Princess Beijing's heart was not pride, but fear.

Princess Beijing knew that the upper authorities were afraid that they would have to clean up these three families, so the Dongping Palace, the Xining Palace, and the current Nan'anbo Mansion would be like this.

But Princess Beijing's maiden family itself is connected to these three families. He was born in the Ma family, the government of the country. She is the grandson of Ma Kui, the grandson of the ruling duke, and the niece of Ma Shang, the hereditary general of the Sanpin Weiyuan. His life experience is also similar to Shi Xiangyun, his parents died, and the title of the family was attacked by his uncle. His aunt married into the Dongping Palace, and is the younger daughter-in-law of the current king of Dongping County.

Relying on such a relationship, Princess Beijing still firmly pressed the side concubines who had been born and raised after losing her husband's heart.

Right now. Dongping Palace, Xining Palace, and Nan'anbo Mansion are going to be bad. So, what about the rest of the houses of the Four Kings and Eight Princes?

Princess Beijing was afraid.

He was afraid that after these bad luck, he would be affected, and he would be allowed to exist in name only in the Beijing Palace, and become a mascot and ornament.

With such a thought, Princess Beijing didn't want to offend anyone in the autumn hunting team. His idea is not to seek merit, but to seek no fault.

It's a pity. Whether it's Princess Zhongshun or Dongping Palace. It's impossible to let him go. These days, Princess Beijing's heart is bitter, she has no taste for anything she eats, and her whole person is full of sorrow, so she has to cheer up and be careful to flatter in front of the queen, so as not to offend people who should not be offended.

On the day when Princess Duanrong had a seizure in front of Empress Taishang, Princess Beijing knew that she didn't actually do her own business, and she knew that it was best for her not to get involved, but the situation at that time made Princess Beijing tremble.

He knew that he was forced to say that day out of desperation. But he also knew that King Zhongshun was his brother after all, and no matter how bad Princess Zhongshun was, he was also the royal daughter-in-law. But what are you? I'm afraid that someone will blame me for the events of that day.

With such thoughts, Princess Beijing couldn't eat or sleep well, and she was also haggard.

No, Princess Beijing had just gotten up on this day, asking the girl to groom and put on makeup to hide her haggard and pale look, when King Beijing suddenly broke in and said, "You all go down." ”

Princess Beijing's heart jumped, she hurriedly stood up, and said, "What's wrong with the prince, but others are angry with the prince?" ”

King Beijing walked quickly to his wife, grabbed his wife's arm, and said, "Say, what good things have you done these days!" ”

Princess Beijing was stunned for a moment, looked at King Beijing for a while, and suddenly said: "The prince hasn't been here for some days. How to ...... today"

King Beijing didn't wait for his wife to finish speaking, and squeezed Princess Beijing's arm fiercely, so painful that Princess Beijing couldn't help frowning.

"Do you know what this king is referring to? When is it, you still put on the shelf of the daughter of your four kings and eight princesses? Do you know what trouble you have caused this king? ”

Princess Beijing looked at her husband stunned, and after a long while, she said, "In your heart, I turned out to be such a person?" ”

King Beijing slammed his wife down on the bed, like a trapped beast, and turned around the tent a few times before he said, "You don't come to this set!" Sooner or later, something will happen to Dongping Palace, and so will your mother's family! You'd better be honest with me, and don't make trouble for me! ”

Princess Beijing said faintly: "Lord, it turns out that in your eyes, being a wife is such a person. I have been married to you for many years, and I admit that I am not at fault except for my children. But why doesn't the prince look at himself, how many times has the prince given his wife no face for those women? ”

"It's not that you're a vicious ......"

Princess Beijing suddenly laughed: "Evil for his wife? Lord Wang, when you say this, you are not sorry. As a wife, she is the wife you are marrying. As long as you occupy the name, as long as you are a wife, there is nothing wrong with it, no matter whose son is on the throne, the wife is the concubine of the Beijing Palace. Isn't that a plain fact? But for those concubines, isn't it a good deal to exchange a piece of meat that I don't know if it's a man or a woman for your pity? Only those who know how to blame their wives have no doubts about the motives of those women? ”

"Shut up! At this point, you still say that you have some of these things and don't. ”

Princess Beijing sat up slowly and said, "Why can't you say it as a wife?" Yes, he was pampered by his family when he was young, he was stupid and couldn't please people, but didn't the prince already know about this? The prince also said that he likes to be a wife and is innocent and unguarded. Let's ask, how can such a naΓ―ve and unguarded person harm others? Why didn't the prince say that it was those women who united to harm his wife? ”

"Enough! Is this the time to talk about this? You are also a young lady of everyone, and you should know what the situation is now. Be honest with me, and don't get me in trouble! ”

After King Beijing had a seizure, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Princess Beijing watched King Beijing leave in a daze, even though King Beijing had been gone for a long time, he was still in a daze at the curtain of the tent. After a long while, I heard Princess Beijing say faintly: "Lord, for many years, you have been pretending to be a princess, and you still think that you are a smart person for your wife. Now it seems that it is the wrong wife. As a wife, I don't know you at all, I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't know what you're planning behind your back. Lord, why don't you always live in peace and for your wife? DID YOU KNOW? It's because you have a wide range of friends that you will be suspected of forming a party by your superiors. ”

Princess Beijing's voice was very soft and soft, and only the two henchmen in the tent heard it.

Both girls kept their heads down and stared at the ground, wishing there was a hole in the ground for them to get into.

They didn't want to know anything about the relationship between King Beijing and Princess Beijing at all.

Princess Beijing sat on the bed for a while, seeing that the clothes on her body had been wrinkled by King Beijing, so she had to ask the girl to change her hairstyle and jewelry clothes, and then brought people out.

As a lady of the palace who has lost power, even if he is a princess, he is not qualified to be sick. Princess Beijing knew this very well. So after packing up, he still has to go out to socialize and flatter the queen.

At the moment when he stepped out of the tent, he saw Princess Duanrong standing at the door of the tent, and when he saw him come out, Princess Duanrong smiled slightly: "Princess Beijing, what a coincidence." Are you going to say hello to the Queen? What a coincidence. The palace is also going to visit the queen. Why don't we go the same way? ”

The cold sweat on Princess Beijing's back came out.

He knew that if he walked with Princess Duanrong, he was afraid that when he arrived in front of the queen, this rumor would fly all over the sky. (To be continued......)
