The next morning, Su Wu, who had always been used to getting up early, got up early. After finishing dressing up, I saw that Xuanyuan Beichen was still lying on the bed and refused to get up.

As soon as she walked in, she was pulled closer to the bed by Xuanyuan Beichen, "Prince, you should get up and enter the palace with the concubine on the same side to say goodbye." She pushed him in the chest to no avail, but he clamped him tightly.

"What's the hurry, the palace is unwell today, and it is inconvenient to enter the palace." Want to push him away? She was so naïve

Su Wan's face was slightly gloomy, and she thought in annoyance: Open your eyes and talk nonsense, you were still alive last night.

At this time, the maidservant came in and said: "The slave and maid see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and the queen has sent someone to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace immediately." ”

"It's okay now, the concubine is in trouble." She whispered

"You have a good rest, I'll go to the palace first, and I'll take you out for a few days tomorrow." Xuanyuan Beichen kissed Su Wu affectionately, then got up and changed his clothes and entered the palace.

Jingqi Palace

As soon as Xuanyuan Beichen came in, he saw the side concubine standing behind the queen with tears in her eyes.

"See the father and the emperor, and the queen mother,"

The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Beichen with a serious expression and said, "Why did you come to ask for peace for a long time, I heard that you didn't go to Cuiwei Pavilion yesterday?"

Xuanyuan Beichen found a chair and sat down and said with a calm expression: "Back to my father, there are often fierce and cruel bandits in Yunzhi City who have come out to disturb the residents recently, and the local officials are powerless to resist. You also know that the crown princess is known as the princess among women, so Erchen went to Qiluan Hall yesterday to discuss countermeasures with the crown princess. ”

The emperor's face was much warmer.

The queen sneered again and again: "The countermeasure is to discuss the time, why does the prince want to discuss it in the cave room, is the prince not satisfied with this family business." This is called the side concubine's love. ”

"The queen mother's words are wrong, this palace is the prince of the country, and naturally the affairs of the people are important." Xuanyuan Beichen said coldly.

"Don't be angry, as long as the prince is good, the child doesn't matter." Seeing that the scene was so stiff, Xiao Shutong's eyes were slightly red, and Chu Chu said.

The queen mother took Xiao Shutong's little hand and said to the emperor with satisfaction: "Your Majesty, look~ is still the side concubine who is understanding." We can't be wronged. ”

"That's what the queen said. Come ~ reward the side concubine with 1,000 taels of gold and 100 bowls of bird's nest. ”

Concubine Lian stepped forward and thanked her with joy: "Thank you Emperor Longen,"

"Okay, you all go down, the emperor, you come to the imperial study with me." "Yes." Xuanyuan Beichen got up and stood up. Follow the emperor to the imperial study,

"Queen Mother, that boy will go back to the Prince's Mansion first."

The queen waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, this palace is also tired." ”

Xiao Shutong knelt down and walked out of the hall obediently.

Inside the Prince's Mansion

Inside the garden

"Fu Xuan, Rui Xuan, look at how well this peony blooms." Su Wan pointed to the white peony road not far away,

Fu Xuan, who was next to her, said with a smile: "Among the peonies, there is a white peony with a flower as white as jade, a round shape like a moon, and a particularly strong fragrance, which is a precious variety. Legend has it that it was made by a woman who was miserable. Once upon a time there was a woman named Bai Qing. Bai Qing's husband left early, leaving only her elderly in-laws at home. When the mother-in-law saw that her son had left, but she did not leave a son and a half daughter for the family, she came up with the idea that it had always been intolerable, so she asked Bai Qing to have sex with her father-in-law and leave an heir for the family. Bai Qing is the daughter of Zhenlie, and she would rather die than obey, and accidentally pushed her mother-in-law to the ground by mistake in the dispute, causing her mother-in-law to be injured and died. At this time, a street and two lines of discussion began, and finally the local officials thought that this woman was uneasy and lonely, and the red apricot came out of the wall. was bumped into by her in-laws and killed her mother-in-law. He was escorted to the court, beaten hard, and sentenced to death.

Poor Bai Qing had a death flag on his body, and when he was tied to the execution ground, he shouted that he was wronged, and mourned to his fathers and brothers in the street and two lines: "After I die, there are people who pity me for this hard-working woman, please bury my body on Lang Mountain, and don't forget the great grace under the nine springs!" After that, he turned his back and shouted, "Oh my God! Keep your eyes open! I am as white as a two-hearted person, and I have malicious intentions towards my mother-in-law, and after I die, I will become a stinky tree and grow on the grave; I have no two hearts, and after I die, let me become a peony with white flowers and grow on the grave. Keep your eyes open! ”

In the second year, a peony was born on Bai Qing's grave, blooming white as jade, emitting bursts of fragrance. People say that this white peony was changed by Bai Qing, who died of death. ”

After hearing this, Su Wan stepped forward to pick a peony flower, a hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes, and she snorted slightly coldly and said, "Send this flower to Cuiwei Pavilion." ”

"Yes." The maidservant respectfully took the white peony in Su Wan's hand, and then went to Cuiwei Pavilion.

Shen Ruixuan was stunned at this moment, "Boss, the story that Sister Xuan said doesn't mean that the white peony is the flower of chastity, why do you want to give it to the side concubine?" ”

Fu Xuan smiled lightly: "Silly girl, the white peony is the flower of Zhenlie, but don't forget, although Bai Qing is the daughter of Zhenlie, she is also a living widow." The concubine means to tell Concubine Fang that even if she marries into the prince's mansion, she is destined to be a living widow, and she had better keep to herself in the prince's mansion, otherwise even if there is nothing to do, the concubine will give her a crime. ”

"I see, but at first glance, the concubine on the other side is a vain and pretentious woman. The prince's vision should not be so bad. Shen Ruixuan laughed self-deprecatingly.

Su Yu smiled faintly, her lips hooked out of the unreachable drift, and the armor of the phoenix Kou Dan pulled a peony flower on her side and provoked it again, the phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the wisps flowed out a faint and charming silence.
