Silence spread on the waterfront platform in front of the Cool Temple.

Princess Changle quietly looked at Princess Duanrong without speaking, while Princess Duanrong comfortably picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

Of course, the eldest princess of Duanrong knew what Princess Changle and the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan thought of him, and in the eyes of the eldest princess Duanrong herself, his life was like a joke.

When he was a child, he was obviously a princess, but the favored palace maids and eunuchs dared to bully her behind her back, and it was even more common for her to be hungry or something.

So she wants to fight, fight for a way to live for herself. This is not because the girl surnamed Wang is bewitched, but he really wants to fight for a better future for himself.

He didn't want to live a life of being bullied by slaves all the time, so he chose to take refuge in Prince Lao Yizhong, so he chose to be friendly with the Wang daughter, not with the old Prince and Princess Yizhong, that is because the old Prince and Princess Yizhong have been his sister-in-law for so many years, but she has not helped him, and the Wang daughter at least said two good words for him.

However, his friendship with the daughter of the Wang family made him an outlier in the palace.

Obviously it wasn't his fault, he just wanted to live a good life, but he was disliked by his brothers and sisters, even his mother didn't agree with his approach, and his father even expressed his dissatisfaction with him in public.

When she was young, Princess Duanrong hated in her heart, hated those who bullied her, hated that his father had never cared about him, and hated his brothers and sisters for standing by and watching what happened to her, so he came together with the woman surnamed Wang. Even if he knew that this Wang girl was actually using him.

But just when his happiness was within reach, his father, his siblings struck him the deadliest blow, and they sent her to the prairie. and pro.

Looking at Changle on the other side, who had nightmares after being wronged a little bit and aroused the pity of the entire royal family, Princess Duanrong was as disgusting as swallowing a cockroach.

He is also a princess of Heqin, when he was married, the situation between Daqi and the grassland was even more difficult than now, and his experience was many times more tragic than this niece, didn't he climb out of the abyss by himself?

The world pities Princess Changle, who has ever pitied him?

Those people. People envy his scenery and his glory as a princess of the grassland, but behind his back, he is not laughing at him as a traitor to Daqi, or is he excluded? and even shielded his son-killing enemy!

The people of Daqi reject outsiders. The people on the grassland look down on the people of Daqi, even if he is the princess of Daqi, even if he gives birth to a prince for the grassland, even if he does so many things for the grassland. These people. These are his nominal relatives. On the surface, he is full of sympathy for his dead son, but he is not gloating in his heart.

His son was ostracized by the leaders of the grassland alliances on the grassland, and that was because he was the princess of Daqi; Back in Daqi, their mother and son were still isolated from that gate by the upper class of Daqi, and the reason was because they came from the grassland. Wherever they went, they were ostracized, except for the authority in their hands. They have nothing.

But even so, his son never complained. But at a very young age, he tried to hold up a piece of heaven for him with his shoulders.

Yes, this life of Princess Duanrong, the first twenty years of his life was a joke, and his son was his salvation, saving him from despair when he was about to fall into the abyss. It can be said that the first half of Princess Duanrong's life was for glory and wealth, but the second half of his life was for his son.

The only hope and the only light in his life is his son. After abandoning the definition of happiness in girlhood, Princess Duanrong, who has a son and everything, even thought that it would be good for him to guard her son for the rest of his life. As for the things that her son did behind his back, Princess Duanrong was also faintly aware of it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Princess Duanrong never expected that her son would die, in the hands of the Great Qi people.

Princess Duanrong didn't care about An Yuanwei, nor did she listen to what his son did in An Yuanwei, in his eyes, if his son killed An Yuanwei's mud legs, it would also be an honor for those mud legs. What made Princess Duanrong feel cold was that none of his parents, his brothers, and his sisters thought like this with him, and they all turned a blind eye to his son's death, and one by one only sighed a few words, and turned around to lament others.

Obviously, the murderer is in front of him, but his father dotes on his son-killer, his brother dotes on his son-killer, his sisters also dote on the murderer, and even his nephews and nieces are on the side of his son-killer.

The resentment in the heart of Princess Duanrong cannot be eliminated.

He hates.

He hated his son-killing enemy, and he also hated the Jia family behind the murderous enemy, and he hated this world even more.

She said to herself that since no one was in charge of him, then he would make his own decisions. He will avenge his son with his own hands.

So he's sitting here today.

In the past year, Princess Changle has protected his son-killing enemy very well, and with the help of his good royal brother, he can't get close at all. But today is different, because today is the first day of the general election, and it is also the first day of the sudden change of the identity of the other party. Even if there is Princess Changle to protect him, as long as he can operate it, the other party may become a member of the harem.

Princess Duanrong knew very well what it meant to be a harem.

In the harem, only the queen is the emperor's wife, and the rest, even if they are concubines, are just a more decent concubine. Although some women are very open-minded and think that as long as there is pampering, it is enough, but in the hearts of everyone in the palace, they actually know very well that pampering this kind of thing is actually the most ethereal, and only fame is real.

When the new concubine enters the palace, the position at the beginning is definitely not high, and he is stingy with his imperial brother's position, unless he really wants to use someone. For example, the original Li Guifei, otherwise, she raised a good son. It's just a concubine. Concubines who have no children, even if they are old qualifications, still don't even have a seat in the Zhaoyang Palace.

This is the fate of the harem.

As the younger sister of the current emperor, even if it is a half-sister, he is also the rightful eldest princess. If you want to frustrate a concubine with a low status, it is even easier.

The purpose of Princess Duanrong's coming to this North Palace was naturally to observe his murderous enemy Jia Qian. Of course, as the aunt and sister of this son-killing enemy, Jia Jiu and Jia Qing will not forget it.

Yes. Even if Princess Duanrong has great powers and is very decent in front of the Emperor, there are some things he still doesn't know. It's as if it was Jia Jiu and not Jia Qian who really went to the border. This top-secret news. In the court, the number of people who know is only the number of a slap. Even Princess Duanrong herself, what he could find out was that Princess Changle's life-saving benefactor was Jia Qian.

Of course, the eldest princess of Duanrong also knew very well that the three princesses in front of her, the eldest princess of Lanling, the eldest princess of Jiashan and the eldest princess of Changle, had reached an alliance and became the umbrella of the Jia family. If he wants revenge. Well, these three in front of you. Nature was the first obstacle he had to bring down.

When she saw the eldest princess of Jiashan, the eldest princess of Duanrong immediately remembered the scandal between the eldest princess of Jiashan and the son of the Yan family. He can also guess the thoughts of the eldest princess of Jiashan. However, Princess Duanrong didn't plan to provoke this sister at this time. Although it is said that as an elder sister, it is nothing to play her sister in words, but there is also the eldest princess of Lanling here. The eldest princess of Lanling has a higher background than him, her maternal family is powerful, whether she is knighted or favored, she is not inferior to him, and more importantly, the eldest princess of Lanling is the princess of the country, that is, the princess, even if the queen mother of the eldest princess of Lanling is raised by the concubine, it is not something he can provoke.

The eldest princess of Duanrong knew that if he used words to squeeze the eldest princess of Jiashan, the eldest princess of Lanling would definitely come forward. Therefore, if he can play majestic without attracting the squeeze of the eldest princess of Lanling, he can only show the majesty of the elders in front of Princess Changle.

Maybe it's not a wise choice, but, at least, it's able to paralyze the other side.

Princess Duanrong narrowed her eyes slightly, and quickly assessed the three opposite in her heart again.

Needless to say, Princess Changle is relatively young, and she is a junior, and she has experienced fewer things, otherwise she would not have been close to herself at the beginning. Although I have suffered losses and made progress, I lack heat after all. Moreover, the person he has to deal with is his savior after all, and he and he will eventually come to that point. Therefore, the relationship between them is also the most rigid and the least room for maneuver.

As for the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan, in the eyes of the eldest princess Duanrong, these two sisters are worthy of being the eldest princess who can live a nourishing life in the palace and can be favored by the emperor and the current emperor. Knowing that they had bad intentions, these two eldest princesses were still sitting there, with a dignified and graceful posture and a demure and elegant demeanor, and they looked like typical court ladies. It's hard to guess what they're thinking.

Since the eldest princess Duanrong has made a choice, she has chosen a straightforward approach, which can make people feel that he does not have much scheming, and he can also paralyze the enemy in a certain way.

"Changle, when you come back from the north, our aunt and nephew rarely see each other. You are resident in the palace and I live outside in the princess's mansion, so I don't have the opportunity to sit down and talk about it. ”

Princess Duanrong's words really stung Princess Changle. Princess Changle felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he remembered the stupidity at the beginning, and actually believed this woman who was not proud of Princess Daqi at all.

Princess Changle said: "The mother concubine of this palace left when she was very young in this palace, and no one around this palace will talk to this palace about the affairs of the mother concubine back then, even the two aunts here, for fear that this palace is too sad, and rarely mention the mother concubine in front of this palace." Although this palace is grateful for the hearts of the two aunts, this heart is always uneasy. It's you, who are close to the mother of the palace, and remember a lot of things about the mother of the palace. This palace is also very grateful, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that this palace's understanding of the mother concubine is still rare. ”

Princess Changle's words are very level. What he repeatedly emphasized was his longing for his mother and filial piety. Duanyi Guifei was gone when he was very young, so he missed his mother very much, and he emphasized his longing for his mother. But in the ears of others, it was Princess Duanrong who took advantage of his thoughts about his mother. After deceiving him into trust, he also hurt him.

Princess Changle's words didn't say a bad word about Princess Duanrong, but in the ears of others, Princess Duanrong became an extremely despicable person.

This is how the ladies of the court spoke. There are no dirty words at all throughout the text. But they will unknowingly set traps for each other. If talking to Princess Changle before his relatives can still make people feel the true love behind his words, then now, these words of Princess Changle will only make people feel that every word he says is true, and not a word is a lie, but it has dug a pit for Princess Duanrong in a solid manner.

Princess Duanrong immediately said: "The so-called mother-son connection is nothing more than that. Changle misses his mother like this. The same is true of Hongu's beloved son, who misses Hongu. Poor Bengong's beloved son, just borrowed the way to go home, and was killed on trumped-up charges. Hongu doesn't know who to find to take revenge. ”

Princess Changle said: "About my cousin, this palace has also heard about it. Speaking of which, Hongu is also very curious. Whether it is his aunt marrying the palace or his cousin coming home, An Yuanwei is not on the way. I even heard about it. My cousin had to walk more than 200 miles back to the tribe from An Yuanwei, and he also passed by a hostile tribe. Aunt Duanrong, I don't know if my niece is right? This made the niece wonder, why didn't the cousin take good care of the palace and didn't go home directly, but wandered around? If it weren't for my cousin taking away so many guards, this palace wouldn't have suffered that great crime. Did he forget that Bengong was a weak woman. My aunt is also a weak woman, can she? ”

Princess Duanrong felt that her son had died unjustly, but in the eyes of Princess Changle. If it weren't for the mother and son jumping up and down, there wouldn't be so many things at all.

If it weren't for Princess Duanrong's non-stop activities and constant lobbying of those ministers, there would be no harmony at all. Even Jia Jiu, who was only eight years old at the time, knew that being close was equivalent to a disguised enemy. Daqi is not the Daqi of more than 20 years ago, and there is no need to be close at all.

If it weren't for Princess Duanrong's non-stop activities, she wouldn't have made Daqi believe that Di Ren really yearned for Daqi.

Yes, in the eyes of Princess Changle, the Di people do yearn for Daqi, but their yearning is different from the yearning in the mouth of Princess Duanrong, they will not surrender to Daqi, on the contrary, they like to kill all the men of Daqi, burn down the houses of Daqi, and then graze on the land of Daqi.

Peace or something, it's all blown out by Princess Duanrong.

Princess Changle firmly believes that if it weren't for the time when Princess Duanrong's mother and son volunteered to act at the beginning, and persuaded the emperor, he would not have brought so many people in the end. As a result, before he got out of the territory of Daqi, the good son of Princess Duanrong took away half of the men and horses, and when he entered the grassland, Princess Duanrong left him and those palace female officials, and ran away with the remaining guards, leaving him with less than a hundred people.

Princess Changle firmly believes that if it weren't for the good deeds of Princess Duanrong and his son, he would not have ended up like that at all. Princess Duanrong hates the Jia family, hates the girls of the Jia family, and Princess Changle still hates Princess Duanrong's mother and son. In Princess Changle's opinion, the death of Princess Duanrong's son was self-inflicted. Princess Changle didn't hate those courtiers, nor did she hate the soldiers at the border, but she hated Princess Duanrong's mother and son.

If it weren't for the fact that Princess Duanrong's son was already dead, he would definitely design this man to die again.

The same goes for Princess Duanrong. If it weren't for a while, there would be no way to make this woman completely ruined and disappear forever, and Princess Changle would not want to be false with the other party.

The hatred in Princess Duanrong's heart, Princess Changle can see it clearly, but the hatred in Princess Changle's heart is known only to him. When Jia Jiu accompanies him, Princess Changle will not be plagued by nightmares, and when Jia Jiu is not by his side, Princess Changle will be immersed in darkness. was tormented by a nightmare once, and the hatred in Princess Changle's heart increased by one point.

He would never let go of Princess Duanrong.

Princess Duanrong lost her mouth for a while, and was grabbed by Princess Changle. And this crime is really very serious. The wedding envoy of Daqi around him, regardless of his duty, threw him aside, the princess of Heqin, the son of the eldest princess Duanrong is himself unfaithful to Daqi, plus regardless of his mother's safety, this is unfilial piety. Such an unfaithful and unfilial person, if he returns to Daqi, he will definitely be questioned.

Princess Changle's eyes clearly told Princess Duanrong: Your son died An Yuanwei, it was really cheap for him.

"You!"

Princess Duanrong was angry and hateful.

Just like every mother, children are the flesh and soul of the mother's heart, not to mention that Princess Duanrong only has such a son. Not to mention that his husband has a wife and a wife, and even his sons are not a few. The reason why the steppe men listened to him was entirely because of the orders of the tribal leader, and also because he had a son. Without a son, a daughter on the steppe is like a livestock.

Princess Duanrong knew very well that with the death of his son, his power in the grassland also disappeared. Even if Jia Jiu didn't sweep the entire grassland, he wouldn't be able to go back.

This is also the reason why he, the princess of the grassland, will stay in Daqi. There is no place for him on the grassland, and Daqi is still his maiden home.

What made Princess Duanrong even more desperate was that with the death of his son, his power on the grassland disappeared, and the honor and favor he could get in Daqi also dropped to the freezing point. Even if he figured out that Emperor Guò would avenge his son, what he got in exchange was just a rebuke and a grounding.

This is also the reason why the eldest princess of Duanrong is sitting here.

In addition to conspiracy methods, it is no longer possible for him to use the emperor to execute the girl of the Jia family.

was stabbed by Princess Changle fiercely, and Princess Duanrong remembered that her father was the emperor, and her brother was the current emperor, and she felt mediocre about herself, but this niece and daughter, although she had no mother and concubine, and after this great disaster, she was pitied by two kings and was more powerful than herself in the court.

Princess Duanrong was silent for a while, and said: "Changle, this palace knows that you have a good impression of the two girls of the Jia family, especially that Jia Junjun, who is strong in martial arts, even if Jia Junjun can have today, it is thanks to him that he has made it possible." However, he is the show girl this time. Changle, I'm afraid it's not good for you to stick to him like this, right? ”

Although this was said tactfully, it was really clear that Princess Changle and Jia Jiu were too close. After all, Jia Jiu is a show girl, even if she has not been selected, she is also the emperor's woman. If there is any scandal between Princess Changle and him, maybe the royal family will not execute Princess Changle, but it is okay to execute the daughter of a courtier.

Princess Changle glanced at Princess Duanrong coldly and replied, "I'm worried about you." However, both the father and the queen mother know about this matter. When the palace came back from the grassland, he couldn't sleep at night. Jia Xianjun is the life-saving benefactor of this palace, Jia Junjun is strong in martial arts, with their company, this palace can also sleep well. The father also said that the palace had suffered such a big disaster, and no one took care of him, and he was not at ease, and said that he would find a new mother concubine for the palace. ”

Princess Changle was not afraid of Princess Duanrong at all.

Grinding mirrors? Even if Princess Duanrong wanted to accuse him of grinding mirrors with Jia Jiu, he also had something to say.

Originally, it was also very difficult to distinguish between women whether they were grinding mirrors morally and ethically. Especially with him and Jia Jiu, it is even more difficult to explain. Jia Jiu is still perfect, and after he experienced those things, he became more and more disgusted with certain things. Even if he and Jia Jiu are accompanied day and night, they are just simply sleeping together. If this is mirror grinding, then more than half of the ladies in Daqi are grinding mirrors, not to mention the harem.

Moreover, in the court, it is more common for adoptive mothers to be younger than adoptive children. During the period of Emperor Taishang, there was a well-born and favored concubine, who entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and there was a seven-year-old princess by his side. If the emperor included the girl of the Jia family in the harem and then put himself under the other party's name, it would not be an uncommon thing at all.

In the court, age and seniority are not a problem, what matters is identity and holy will. The emperor wants to put the girl of the Jia family into the palace wall, which is the emperor's favor for the Jia family; The emperor wants to put his princess Changle under the name of the new concubine, which is also the emperor's consideration and favor, what does it have to do with outsiders?

The contempt in Princess Changle's eyes, Princess Duanrong saw it really. (To be continued......)
