Chapter 59: The Princess's Sense of Crisis
The cold winter is coming, this year's snow is earlier than usual, the cold winter is coming, the snow covers the earth, and a white silver color is seen from a distance, adding another beautiful scenery to the cold winter.
Zuo Zhen is already three months pregnant, usually in order to avoid trouble, the upper body rarely goes out of her yard, it snows twice outside, the ground is slippery, and she dare not go out, only resting in the house, she really can't sit still and walks back and forth in the house, the first three months are the most critical, she is afraid that the child will have an accident, and she pays attention to the things around her.
Princess Hening and Aunt Liu's side have been quiet for two months, but Zuo Zhen dares to take it lightly, lest she not notice it for a while.
Besides, since Ouyang Lin learned that Zuo Zhen was pregnant, she came to accompany Zuo Zhen every day, but she no longer stayed overnight, which made Zuo Zhen feel unhappy for a while, but fortunately, she didn't go to her heart, she had to protect herself and her child.
If you really want to say that there is no movement, Princess Hening naturally knows Zuo Zhen's situation, although Princess Hening is younger, and she doesn't have too much time to learn those selfish methods in the house, Concubine Shu is a afraid of things, she doesn't dare to take the lead, and she can only be free-range for her daughter's country, but fortunately, she has a well-educated grandmother who can't see that something happens, so she doesn't think about it.
Princess Hening got married in a hurry, I don't know what to do, no matter how anxious Concubine Shu is, she can't catch up with her daughter again, so she has to find an old mother who knows things to follow her, once there is something, she can solve problems for her daughter, Princess Hening is not a arrogant person, on the surface she pretends to be anyone, but as her princess, there is no need to look at people's faces, so she is quite comfortable in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
There is Ouyang Lin shushing and asking for warmth from time to time, how can Ning and Gong see the person they admire can still separate their hearts and minds, and focus on Ouyang Lin, the two of them live their own little lives sweetly, as for Zuo Zhen, it is really not that she doesn't take Zuo Zhen seriously, but it is completely unnecessary.
Aunt Shui Yueju Liu was looking at the rare jewelry she had just sent, and saw that Wang Ma motioned for the maid in the room to go down. Keeping watch over the door is obviously something important.
"Madam, the young lady's side is as usual, and rarely goes out of the room." Wang Ma routinely made a daily ceremony, "There is nothing unusual about Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Oh. Zuo Zhen was afraid that someone would harm her child, so she chose to close the door, as for the princess, I think all her mind is on the horse master, and she has not yet made time to clean up Zuo Zhen. Aunt Liu took the hairpin ring in her hand and looked at it, and felt that the workmanship was good, and she remembered to find this one next time.
"It's been three months, and it's hard to start as soon as the days pass." Aunt Liu resented Zuo Zhen's previous pregnancy and miscarriage of the black cauldron on her, and now she seized the opportunity to come back without ambition.
"Ma'am, I'm afraid this is not right." When Mother Wang heard that Aunt Liu was doing something to Zuo Zhen, she was very uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Liu sneered: "Didn't you see the horse and don't take Zuo Zhen as a person." The fact that she is still staying in the princess's room at night when she is pregnant is enough to explain a qiē. ”
"But after all, that's the first little master in the house." Wang Ma was worried, "If it is discovered, it is not only the horse, I am afraid that even the prime minister will be furious." "If you really want to find out, Aunt Liu will not escape accountability.
"You understand." Aunt Liu didn't think Xu said: "I didn't say to do it myself, let's see, this time I don't need to rack my brains to do the trick of killing people with a knife." ”
"What do you mean, ma'am?" Wang Ma didn't understand it for a while.
"The princess is not a good match." Aunt Liu didn't plan to accompany her this time, even if the princess was not in a hurry, she was more anxious than the princess.
"Madame means the grandmother beside the princess." Wang Ma didn't quite understand. It's not about the princess, but why did he turn on the grandmother next to the princess, what is worth noting about an old slave.
"You don't understand this, the princess's status is noble and she occupies the position of a wife, how can she watch the eldest son be born." Aunt Liu is very lyrical in her heart, and this time it will definitely be done.
"It's just that the princess doesn't care about the past, and the royal family still has face." Aunt Liu hooked her lips and smiled, "It's not the right time for Zuo Zhen's child to come." Otherwise, the colt would not be cold and indifferent, and there would be no joy on his face. ”
Wang Ma understood now, and felt that Zuo Zhen was not worth it, "Is that lady going to push the princess before she makes a move?" ”
Aunt Liu smiled meaningfully and said: "Not before, but after the princess decided to dispose of Zuo Zhen, I only need to move my fingers a little to maximize the result." In the end, no one will blame me, the main lord is the princess, Zuo Zhen will not be treated fairly, the princess has only been in the palace for a short time, and such things abound in the big family. The fight between the wife and the concubine involves the face of the royal family, even if the lord wants to handle it impartially, it is impossible. ”
"And then there is the meaning of relying on the horse, I am afraid that I will not care about Zuo Zhen's life or death, the horse is the first person who wants to kill the child in Zuo Zhen's womb." Aunt Liu gloated, making Zuo Zhen proud, waiting for her to be sad.
After listening to Aunt Liu's words, Wang Ma knew that she didn't really want to start, but wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Aunt Liu didn't do anything terrifying, it was easy to say.
"The young lady is quite pitiful." Wang's mother insisted on a sentence, and she felt a little unbearable, since Zuo Zhen married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, incidents have occurred frequently, and she has lost another child, Ouyang Lin doesn't like her very much, she is not favored by her husband and cared for by her elders, she is really pitiful.
"She's pathetic." Aunt Liu chuckled: "My own father and mother are left alone, who will support her, blame her for her bad life, how did she marry Ouyang Lin, and now the position of the main room has also made Xian, and her life is not as comfortable as the concubines of ordinary people." ”
Wang Ma said in her heart that Zuo Zhen's parents were also ruthless, and for the compensation promised by the emperor, they turned a blind eye to their daughter's tragic situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and outsiders all said how good the Zuo family was, but they didn't know that this time they showed their true nature, and they didn't even care about their daughter's life and death for the sake of their career, and the world was just cold.
"Don't really think Zuo Zhen is pitiful, as the saying goes, it's not good, poor people must have something to hate." Aunt Liu is not a magnanimous lord, and she has already burned high incense if she didn't kill Zuo Zhen.
"Who let Zuo Zhen enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, open his mouth and close his mouth, the left is a left family, and the right is a left family, as if the Prime Minister's Mansion owes the Zuo family a lot of favors." Aunt Liu sneered in her heart, "When I entered the door, I made an accident, and I didn't know how to repent, and openly disobeyed the master, how can I say that the master is also an elder, no matter how powerful the officials of the Zuo family are, they can go to the prime minister of the first class of the dynasty, and they only blame her for not being able to see the reality clearly." thought that everyone would praise her, and she didn't weigh who she was, but now the status quo is already excellent. "Even if Aunt Liu is a little smart, she sees some things more clearly than anyone else.
"The young lady has no maiden family to rely on this time. I'm afraid it's hard to get through. Mother Wang withdrew her pity, thought about what Aunt Liu was going to do, and decided to think about it, don't go wrong at the bridge, there will be no possibility of regret at that time.
"It doesn't matter if she can survive it, this is fate." Aunt Liu said lightly, thinking about something else.
Seeing that Aunt Liu didn't say any more, Wang Ma withdrew and ordered her subordinates to set up lunch.
Aunt Liu was exactly what she expected, Princess Hening was indeed not in a hurry to deal with Zuo Zhen, but the grandmother beside her reminded her again and again. It's time to give Zuo Zhen a dismount.
"Mama's three urges and four urges are weird and annoying." Princess Hening was impatient to listen to Mama's nagging, especially Zuo Zhen's matter.
"The princess must not be negligent." Mama persuaded bitterly: "Don't underestimate Zuo Zhen, her father is not only Lord Zuo Wei, but also His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”
"How can I mention the eldest brother in a good way." Princess Hening frowned, "What does Zuo Zhen have to do with the eldest brother when she gives birth to a child?" ”
"The slave means. The Zuo family relies on the support of the eldest prince, and the Zuo family has a better reliance, threatening the status of the princess, and it is necessary to strike first. Mama explained.
Princess Hening was confused when she heard this, and blamed: "The children of the Zuo family are concubines, and they have nothing to do with the eldest brother, so don't want to pull those useless." The main palace headache that goes around and around. ”
Mama saw that Princess Hening didn't understand what she meant, and it was not a good thing for the princess to be too simple, "The slave maid said so, the eldest prince wants to win over the concubine and the entire prime minister's mansion behind the concubine, for the sake of the position above, and now he is competing with the second prince like fire and water." Zuo Zhen is Zuo Wei's daughter, Zuo Wei is the eldest prince's right-hand man, the eldest prince wants to use the Zuo family's family affairs to win over the prime minister, so there is this happy event, before leaving the palace, the concubine told her to be careful of the eldest prince lifting Zuo Zhen and Zuo Zhen's children. ”
"It's all between men. It doesn't have much to do with this palace. "Princess Hening has a big head when she hears about political affairs, and Mama's words are nonsense at all, and she has always been close to her right ear.
Mama wanted to say that the princess's marriage to the concubine had disrupted the prince's plan, and there was no one behind the princess to support her, Zuo Zhen really wanted to ask for the eldest prince for the child, and the eldest prince would definitely not hastily reveal it, with Zuo Zhen's mind must be to give the child a formal title, a concubine's name, the eldest prince in order to appease the Zuo family is very likely to agree, and forced the prime minister to give Zuo Zhen's child a son-in-law's name, because of the status of the eldest prince, the prime minister could not agree, and in the end it was not the princess who suffered.
Even if a concubine is a noble concubine, it is also a concubine, no matter how good it sounds on the surface, it will not change in essence, so why should the child born by the concubine compete for the position of the concubine, if the princess gives birth to a boy in the future, won't she be on an equal footing with the princess's concubine, how can it be done, how can the princess's noble status be trampled on by others.
"The princess listens to the slave." Mama didn't say anything else, only said that if Zuo Zhen was ruthless to ask the eldest prince, even if Zuo Zhen was now a concubine, the child would very likely compete with the concubine born to the princess in the future.
Princess Hening frowned after hearing this, and after thinking about it again and again, she felt that Mama's words were not alarmist, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"In your opinion, do you want to get rid of Zuo Zhen?" Princess Hening had a sense of crisis and immediately became serious.
"I don't need to, it's not a good time to do too much." Mama has long thought of countermeasures in her heart.
"You just need to scare and scare Zuo Zhen, it's best if the child has a miscarriage." Mama said: "The princess should also pay attention to it, conceive a child earlier, give birth to the eldest son, and then ask for a favor or something in front of the emperor, directly curb the thoughts in Zuo Zhen's heart, no one dares to come out to help the Zuo family, even if Lord Zuo has the compensation promised by the emperor in the morning, the slave thinks that Lord Zuo will not be willing to exchange it for Zuo Zhen's request, because everyone understands the big loss." ”
"So, how to scare Zuo Zhen so that others don't think that this palace is narrow and can't accommodate a concubine." Princess Hening is not a fool, in the case of deciding to do it, she must ensure that she is safe and not suspicious, so that she can maximize her benefits, otherwise it will be too much to gain by taking her.
"The princess is thinking about it." Mama secretly praised the princess for her lively brain, and the most important thing to calculate people is to clean themselves, even if some people suspect that they can't get evidence, it won't help.
Mama took two steps forward and leaned down to Princess Hening's ear. This is like this, and this is like this, and it is said that it is planned in advance.
Princess Hening frowned after hearing this, and decided to beat Zuo Zhen according to Mama's method, so that Zuo Zhen understood that it was her and Princess Ning who were in charge of this house.
Mama saw the princess nod. I was relieved, thinking that the princess could finally know the pros and cons and plan for herself.
On the second day, Princess Hening took her grandmother to the courtyard where Zuo Zhen now lives after lunch, and this is the first time she has come.
Yahuan, who was guarding the door, saw the group enter the courtyard gate at a glance, and saw that it was the princess who came, and hurriedly put down the work in hand and ran to report.
"Miss, the princess is here with someone." Yahuan looked flustered, afraid that the princess was looking for Zuo Zhen's bad luck here, and she was terrified.
"What is she here for?" Zuo Zhen was really shocked when she heard this, and she wondered very much.
"Miss. The princess is not good here. The nurse was worried about this, how could the good well water not interfere with the river water, how could she suddenly visit.
"Hmm." Zuo Zhen also thought in her heart, "Be careful." "There is a way to dodge it for a while, even if it dodges this time. There will be a next time.
When the maid in the courtyard saw the princess coming, she hurriedly bowed, and secretly said that today's battle would not be good.
Princess Hening walked into Zuo Zhen's house, found a place to sit down, raised her eyes to look at Zuo Zhen in front of her, and was waiting for Zuo Zhen to salute her.
"Princess Chitose." Zuo Zhen lowered her eyebrows and saluted, no matter how discordant the two were, they would not really put it on the surface. It makes people see the joke.
"Excuse me." Although Princess Hening exempted Zuo Zhen from the ceremony, she did not ask Zuo Zhen to sit down and reply.
Zuo Zhen knew that the princess was here to give herself a dismount, so she didn't say much, just listened, anyway, there were no good words left and right, as long as she passed this experience, she would be able to raise her baby with peace of mind in the future. It's not a grievance.
Princess Hening looked Zuo Zhen up and down, so that she couldn't talk about how stunning she was, but she still had a little color, which made the princess, who was also a woman, feel unhappy.
From top to bottom, his gaze fell to Zuo Zhen's lower abdomen, where the pony's baby was being conceived. Thinking that the child born by Zuo Zhen in the future would be unfavorable to her sister-in-law, she didn't have a good face on her face, but the princess's shelf still had to be held.
"I heard that you are pregnant, as a wife, it is natural to ask." Princess Hening glanced at Zuo Zhen lightly.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie cares." Zuo Zhen was another salute, and there was no emotion in his voice.
Princess Hening glanced at Zuo Zhen, and she was not angry to see Zuo Zhen so perfunctory, and the fire in her heart instantly rushed up, and her face changed and she couldn't care about the plan she had agreed with Mama before.
"Hmph, you have nothing to do in the palace, and you love to take care of the affairs of the concubine!" Princess Hening was very disgusted with Zuo Zhen in her heart.
If it weren't for Zuo Zhen's good fate, how could he marry Ouyang Lin at the beginning, if it weren't for Zuo Zhen's position as his wife, he wouldn't have left someone in the mansion as a concubine now, and promised the Zuo family a lot of benefits, and what is even more infuriating is that if Zuo's father had done something wrong, how could Zuo Zhen marry Ouyang Lin. Ouyang Lin is his own husband, how can he serve a husband with others, he is a princess of a country, and he has to take care of the face of the Zuo family when he marries a person, it is really unreasonable, if there is no Zuo Zhen in front, Ouyang Lin will love himself wholeheartedly, all the qiē should be his own, only there is one more Zuo Zhen, he can't be driven out and he has to be put under his nose to respond to himself, and now he is pretending in front of himself, do you really think that you can't move Zuo Zhen.
Princess Hening treats Zuo Zhen as an enemy completely, thinking that Zuo Zhen robbed her Ruyi Langjun, and she is pregnant at this time, isn't she just slapping herself in the face, who can swallow this breath.
Zuo Zhen didn't speak, and she didn't dare to speak, for fear of angering the princess, and saying even more ugly words was small, for fear of changing the law to toss herself, and spreading her anger on the child who had not yet taken shape.
"Since you are pregnant, let's take care of it and don't use your crooked brains, and try to peek at what you shouldn't have." Princess Hening has to maintain her demeanor no matter how angry she is, forcibly suppresses the anger in her heart, and speaks unhurriedly.
"Yes." Zuo Zhen's eyes flashed, and he responded respectfully.
"I heard that you were originally a flamboyant character, why did you become soft when you saw this palace?" Princess Hening couldn't see Zuo Zhen looking dead.
"Keep your own duty, don't commit it in the hands of this palace at that time, even if the horse opens his mouth to intercede at that time, it will be useless." Princess Hening wanted to belittle Zuo Zhen a few words, so that she had no face in front of many maids-in-law, but then she thought again and again that if she did this, she would care too much about Zuo Zhen, and for no reason people thought that she was a princess but had no tolerance for people, and it was not good for her reputation to spread outside, so she stopped her interest in rectifying Zuo Zhen, and knocked Zuo Zhen a few words according to what Mama said, and then got up and left.
