Chapter 69: Palace's Scheming
The next day, it was the beginning of the new year on the first day of the first month.
Xiao Duo and Princess Duan got up early to clean up, put on court clothes,—— even if the husband and wife talked stiffly and collapsed last night, they still have to live their lives, especially if they enter the palace today.
Princess Duan watched the girls dress herself up, looked at the gorgeous people in the mirror, and only felt that under the beauty and complexity, there was a kind of emptiness that had been emptied, and her heart couldn't touch the ground.
The husband's ruthless words last night are vividly in my ears.
"Ling Jia, I'm already giving you a chance."
It means that the honor and decency of his wife in the future is his biggest bottom line. As for restoring the old piano and song, don't even think about it. He has already chilled his heart, he has withdrawn his affection, and he does not plan to give it to himself again in the future, so ......, who is his affection to give? Cousin?
Princess Duan felt that her heart was even more bitter than Coptis chinensis, and she was so bitter that she wanted to gag.
Yes, I blame myself for the gaffe.
should not be instigated by his mother in his illness, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, and regards his cousin, who has not yet become a climate, as a great enemy, and reveries that she is going to compete for his position as princess. That's it, but my mother still contributed to the decision, and Mu's mother intervened, and things gradually became uncontrollable and uncontrollable.
This is not my intention, why should I blame myself?
And I still don't understand, even if the prince is angry and annoyed. Then you can also take your cousin back and pamper her every day in the future? Why did you leave her in the Feng family? In this way, of course, she is slapping herself in the face and showing that she is a jealous woman who cannot tolerate others, but the reputation of the other Duan Wangfu and the prince is also not good.
What does the prince think? He is not a headstrong person, and he should not have made such a decision.
What is it for? Princess Duan pondered the possibilities.
"Have you packed it up?" Xiao Duo came in through the door.
The royal clothes of this dynasty are Xuanxuan and Xiaxiao, his face is cold, his eyes are sharp, the most lined black, and he wears a six-inch-long jade crown on his head, which adds a bit of majesty to him looking down on all beings. On the robe as red as a flame, the golden dragon embroidered with words soaring into the sky, with long beards and sharp claws, and dragon eyes dyed with vermilion, seemed to break free from the robe!
Whenever this happens, Princess Duan can't help but be afraid of her husband.
He is not only his husband, the father of his children, but also the noble and extraordinary prince of the dragon vein.
"Packed up." Princess Duan got up slowly, the court clothes were wide and luxurious, slightly bulky, and she couldn't lift her spirits to level her arms, and then said, "Lord, you can go out." ”
Xiao Duo looked at her dress, the phoenix hairpin was horizontal, the pearl was nine Zhai, and she was wearing a wide court dress woven with gold and embroidery, and her arms were slowly dangling, with a standard princess bearing.
He nodded with satisfaction to his wife, then went out and got into the carriage together.
After entering the palace, Xiao Duo went to the front, and under the guidance of the emperor, he worshiped heaven and earth with his brothers and ministers, and prayed for good weather in the new year. Princess Duan went to the harem, followed the concubines and concubines of each palace, and the princesses and concubines followed behind the Empress Dowager Qin for the ceremony.
After a long and cumbersome etiquette and rules, it was not over until most of the morning.
At the noon banquet, according to the arrangement of generations and so on, the ladies of each palace sat at several tables, and the princesses of each palace gathered around a table.
This is the most proud time of the year for the Empress Dowager Qin.
Think about it, as the daughter of an ordinary eunuch, she survived to the extreme, became the queen mother, and became the first person among the women in the harem. Whether it is a concubine from a wealthy family or a princess of a wealthy family, everyone has to stammer her and flatter her, tsk ......, not to mention how beautiful it feels.
Princess Duan's body has not fully recovered, and she is upset, so she has been sitting next to her silently.
But she didn't make a sound, but someone wanted her to make a sound.
"The sixth daughter-in-law." Princess Su turned her head, looked at her and smiled, "Why have you been sullen today?" I heard that after you gave birth to your brother, your health is not good, and now you can almost recuperate? ”
Princess Duan knew that the corners of her mouth were tricky and unforgiving, and she didn't dare to be contemptuous, so she hurriedly said: "Thank you for the care of the second imperial sister-in-law, it's much better." ”
Princess Su said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is a concubine Feng in your house, and there is a lady Feng in our house, the two of them were originally sisters born to a father, and they are even closer to our concubine." ”
Princess Duan's face changed slightly.
Princess Su, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, there must be no good words.
Among the royal concubines at this table, the crown princess is the most respected and noble, and she is the oldest. She relied on her identity and face, and was unwilling to get involved in the battle between the concubines, so she kept smiling and drinking tea, when she didn't hear it. And the youngest princess Qin, the banquet has not been held at this time, and she is having fun with the Empress Dowager Qin.
Therefore, there is only one Princess Ann left.
King An is a big mouth, Princess An seems to match her husband's pot lid, her mouth is also fast, and smart, she immediately picked up the conversation and asked: "I heard that Concubine Feng did not return to the house for the New Year, and spent the New Year in the Feng family, is this true?" ”
Princess Duan was furious in her heart, is it really true, don't you know the way? It's just to listen to yourself say it yourself, and then make good jokes for fun.
On the one hand, he hated Princess Su and Princess An for his ill intentions, and on the other hand, he hated her husband, and he fell into such an embarrassing situation!
Princess Duan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Can't be provoked, can't you hide? It's okay not to talk.
Who is Princess Kesu? just waited for her younger siblings to be embarrassed, so that she could show that she was generous and tolerant of the concubines of King Su's Mansion and would manage the back house. Therefore, seeing that Princess Duan was silent, she turned her head and talked to Princess An, and said with a smile: "Why don't you say that Concubine Feng is a blessed person." Think about it, after we people leave the cabinet, who will have the opportunity to celebrate the New Year in their parents' house? Hey, I'm so envious. ”
Princess An answered with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, won't you let you go back to your parents' house in the second year of junior high school tomorrow?" ”
Princess Su responded: "Yes." She glanced at Princess Duan leisurely, "By the way, when did your concubine Feng return home?" I don't have to go back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, so I have to go back to the third year of junior high school, right? I went back to the palace early, and when the time came, everyone would have a reunion and celebrate the Yuan Festival, which was just a lively and fragrant thing. ”
Princess Duan still smiled slightly and did not answer.
"Ouch." Princess Su was dissatisfied, "Sixth daughter-in-law, why did you become a stuffy gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth today?" My sister-in-law talked to you without saying a word for a long time. ”
The crown princess frowned, "Okay, you don't have to say a word." ”
Princess Duan gave her a grateful glance and nodded with a smile.
Princess Su reluctantly shut up.
The crown prince and King Su are brothers, and the crown princess and Princess Su are cousins, both from the Fan family. After the death of the eldest master of the Fan family, the title fell in the second room. Therefore, Princess Su is often a little unhappy, in the future, when her grandfather dies, her father will be the prince of Fuguo, and the princess is not as good as herself.
Therefore, I deeply hated that I was a few years younger than my cousin and did not marry the prince earlier!
Now that I saw my cousin come out again to "uphold justice" and put the princess's score, the boss was unhappy. Although he didn't dare to come openly and continued to ask Princess Duan, he still turned his head and talked to Princess An about his family routines, looking like he didn't care.
The crown princess's brows were almost invisible.
No rules! My cousin has been getting more and more arrogant lately.
She raised her eyes to look at Princess Duan, and said with a light smile: "Concubine is concubine, concubine is concubine, the so-called concubine is different, the young and the young are orderly, you are the wife, your brother is the eldest son, this is the best." Youyou said: "Some people, some things, just turn a blind eye and ignore it." ”
Princess Duan didn't answer easily, and smiled slightly.
Princess Su next to her was so angry that she almost vomited a mouthful of blood, where was her cousin persuading Princess Duan? It's clearly talking about yourself! said that his husband does not occupy the eldest son, he will be a younger brother all his life, and he will have to be subordinate to the prince for the rest of his life! I am a sister and a brother-in-law, so I naturally have to bow my head under her hands! ——
It's, it's really, it's infuriating.
Princess Su's health is not very good, it has been many years, and when she is a little angry, she really can't breathe.
Princess An saw that her face was wrong, and shouted twice, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law......" laughed secretly in her heart, since the title of the Fan family changed, the crown princess and Princess Su lost their balance and constraints, and gradually began to deal with each other.
The husband said that the more chaotic the brothers and concubines, the more they fight to the death, so that the benefits of Anwangfu can be shown.
Soon, the scene was chaotic as she wished-
Princess Su fainted.
Although it is unlucky, you have to send the doctor quickly!
Otherwise, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the death of a princess would be a big bad luck.
Now that it was a mess, the Empress Dowager Qin sent someone over to inquire, and the crown princess replied: "The second daughter-in-law has always been in poor health, but somehow, she was still talking well just now, and suddenly fainted." ”
Princess Duan also said: "Yes, I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao." ”
Empress Dowager Qin looked at Princess An and asked, "Do you know the Dao?" ”
"I don't know what to do." Princess An will not be unable to get along with the concubines on the bright side, she only looks surprised, "The concubine is talking to the second sister-in-law about the family routine, and for some reason, she can't breathe in one breath." ”
Empress Dowager Qin couldn't ask anything, and soon, the imperial doctor arrived.
Everyone carried Princess Su to the side hall, and it was to diagnose the pulse and prick the needle, although the tossing person turned on his horse, he did not let Princess Su die in the palace. However, being interrupted like this, the festive atmosphere inevitably faded, and everyone maintained a smile on their faces and reluctantly finished the banquet.
When she returned home, Princess Duan only felt that she was falling apart.
"The princess is tired today." The big girl Mu Xi came up to serve, took off her court clothes, took off the flower crown, and handed it to the little girl the same, then removed her makeup and cleansed her face, and changed into soft homely clothes, "The princess sits, I'll go and bring tea." ”
Princess Duan is indeed tired, tired.
In the palace, you have to face the resentment and coldness of your husband, as well as the dispute between concubines, and outside, none of the concubines are easy to get along with, but the mother's mother is not in tune,—— thinking about it, and there is no place to rely on.
She went to the next door, looked at the sleeping little prince lying in the cradle, put her hand on the swaddling clothes, looked at her son's white and sweet little face, and whispered: "My son, my mother can only rely on you in the future." ”
