After the crown of pets. In the palace, the peerless beauty who envied the women of the world was burned by the fire, and the fragrance of clothes and temples dissipated in an instant.

The carved fence jade building of Qionglou Yuyu represents the country. The Chaoyang Hall of the Mother Weiyi has also become a ruin, and the staggered and singing and dancing have been shattered overnight, and only the souls of the three thousand palace people are left to sing mourning all night.

This is the heaviest and most humiliating article in the history of the previous dynasty. Prelude to the Bell of the Nation.

Su Zihua saw Bai Ronghua's expression in a trance, and she was very distressed, she had infinite pity for this little sister who trusted her and was attached to her.

However, since the moment Bai Ronghua was appointed as the crown princess, she has no choice, if she wants to survive in the East Palace in peace and comfort, and become the queen of the world smoothly and safely, there are some things she must understand, and some feelings she must also give up.

Su Zihua was ruthless and continued, "You must know the following things. ”

She paused slightly, and her tone was calm without a trace of warmth, "Emperor Xuan died young, and there was only the crown prince under his knees, and the prince was born from Empress Xuan, and he was only three years old that year. King Cheng and King Rong each had their own thoughts, so they beheaded the prince on the charge of the son of evil, and later King Cheng and King Rong disagreed with each other, fought inwardly for several years, and the foundation of the court was in turmoil, which gave the grandfather of the Sheng Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

Bai Ronghua's whole body was weak, her body was shaky, she tried her best to suppress the trembling of her lips, and finally said, "Sister Zihua's vigilance, Sister Rong remembers it, I ...... I know ......"

Since the emperor had a serious illness twelve years ago, his body has always been a little weak, and he had already made the crown prince in charge of the country in the early years.

The crown prince Zhao Sui is twenty-three years old this year, the descendant of Empress Jiang, the only son of the emperor, and the best candidate for the next emperor of the Sheng Dynasty.

Bai Ronghua knew in her heart that becoming the crown princess of the East Palace was only the first step on her road to wealth and glory, and the queen of the Sheng Dynasty was her ultimate belonging.

But the virtuous queens of all dynasties and dynasties, the kings they serve, which is not the queen. There are three thousand palace beauties, the rain and dew are all wet, and the heirs are abundant? And those queens or concubines who won the emperor's favor alone, but few of them had a good end.

If it's just personal honor and disgrace, life and death, that's it.

Ke Gong. If you take a wrong step, you will not only break your bones, but also bring your family to your family.

Like the former Xuanhou......

After the death of Empress Xuan and the crown prince, her maiden family, the Luo clan in Hezhong, also suffered a catastrophe and was almost wiped out.

Bai Ronghua's eyes were sharp, her face had returned to calm, although her eyes were still full of sadness, but the corners of her lips overflowed with a chuckle, "I just read Emperor Min Cheng's Empress Su last night, there were so many queens in the previous dynasty, but Empress Su was the most praised by the historians." ”

She smiled softer, "She is docile and virtuous, dignified, does not ask about politics, is cautious in her words and deeds, persuades the king to be wet with rain and dew, not jealous or jealous, treat the concubine and the imperial heir well, and treat them as family." After her death, Emperor Min Cheng was grief-stricken and swore that he would only have one wife in this life and would never establish a queen again. Later, it was also her favorite son, King Ping, who inherited the throne. ”

It is clearly recorded in the history books that Emperor Min Cheng accepted hundreds of concubines in his life, and gave birth to a total of sixty-five children, and when he died, there were thirty adult sons, of which there were only three children of Queen Su, one princess and two princes.

It can be seen that Emperor Min Cheng is by no means an infatuated man, and the favor that Empress Su received when she was alive was also very limited, but she was a generation of virtuous queens praised by historians and the people, her son became the emperor, and her family was prosperous and rich for a long time.

Bai Ronghua thought that she would never be delusional again.

Su Zihua's heart was sour, and he wanted to comfort him a few more words, but when he saw that Bai Ronghua's eyes had faded away from sadness and became resolute and calm, he had no choice but to swallow the words in his heart.

She changed the subject and said, "Today is your birthday, don't think about it, while your sisters are here, it's only right to have a good time." Look, the five brothers and sisters seem to be very busy over there, and they don't know what they're playing, so let's go over and have a good time? ”

Bai Ronghua's face regained the innocence and liveliness of a girl, and she took Su Zihua's hand over, "What are you doing so lively, don't call me and Yuan Si's sister-in-law!" ”

Miss Shi Liu made up a round little face and said with a smile, "Yuan Wu's math problem is so interesting, Sister Rong, come quickly!" ”

Laughter resumed in Zhenlong Xuan for a while.

On the way back to General Zhenguo's mansion, the carriage swayed gently, revealing the shadow of the outside light from the curtain of the carriage, and the mottled light and shadow shone on Su Zihua's face, forming a cloudy and uncertain halo.

Cui Ling asked cautiously, "Isn't the fourth sister-in-law unhappy?" ”

Su Zihua looked up at her, as beautiful as a woman carved out of fine mutton fat and jade, looking at her with a worried face, her eyes full of kindness and apprehension.

She breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Where did you see that I wasn't happy?" ”

Cui Ling thought for a while, "You have something on your mind, you had it when you were in Zhenlong Xuan, and later, although you also played with us, you were always distracted, although you were smiling, but there was no smile in your eyes, only sadness and worry." ”

She paused and asked with some uncertainty, "Yes...... Is it because of Sister Rong? ”

Su Zihua's expression softened, and she nodded slightly, "I talked to Sister Rong about Empress Xuan just now. ”

"Empress Xuan?" Cui Ling's delicate and beautiful face was full of doubts, "Who is Empress Xuan?" ”

Su Zihua, who just felt that the fifth brother and sister had grown a little, couldn't help but hold his forehead, roughly told Xuanhou about it, and then said, "There is a library pavilion in the General's Mansion, just in front of the Dianjiang Hall, and most of the books in it are military books and historical records. Reading is a fun thing to do, so if you have time, you can check it out. ”

She paused slightly, "If you think these books are difficult to understand, I remember to look carefully, there are also some folk miscellaneous novels and Chichino biographies, although the authenticity needs to be investigated, but you can also understand the past folklore by reading some of them." ”

Seeing Cui Ling's frowns quietly climbing up her brows, she was still not discouraged, and continued to tempt, "Sitting in the well and watching the sky, you can only see a small world in front of you, don't the fifth brothers and sisters want to know what it looks like outside the place where we can see?" ”

She gently patted Cui Ling's shoulder, "Even if there are many taboos as a woman, there is no way to be there in person, but read and write more travelogue prose written by others, close your eyes and imagine, as if you have seen those scenery and folk customs." ”

Cui Ling is not interested in reading, but it is undeniable that Su Zihua's words did arouse her heart.

What is Shijie like outside? She began to be curious.

At this time, I suddenly heard Su Zihua on the side of the ear say quietly, "Sister Rong will definitely be in the future, but she is extremely rich, but she is destined to lose the ordinary fun that we ordinary people can easily get." No, it's not right to say this, the men of the Yuan family rarely take concubines, which is rare in the entire Sheng Dynasty, and it is fortunate for you and me to be able to marry into the Yuan family. ”

She said softly, "The love of husband and wife, although it is an ordinary warmth for ordinary people, but for many people, it is something that they can't even think about. The fifth brother is a kind, gentle and considerate man, he has you in his heart, loves you and respects you, it is your blessing, the fifth brother and sister should cherish it! ”
