Chapter 3: The Palace
If Jiang Cailing first knew the children of the royal family, it should be the crown prince. When she was still an infant, she was often carried to the Cuiwei Hall to be kneaded by the queen's aunt, and the prince bore the brunt of it, treating this porcelain doll-like sister as a doll, and once threw her on the carpet. She hates the prince, and she guesses it comes from this.
Daddy always said that he didn't respect the prince enough, and he would suffer a big loss in the future. She stuck out her tongue, what about the prince? In the future, she will hide in the mountains and forests with that person, the sky is high and the water is wide and the emperor is far away, and no one is afraid. Thinking about it now, it's ridiculous.
This time the prince was defeated, but she felt pity for the unprecedented, and couldn't wait to get into his cell and pat him on the shoulder and said, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the days will be long in the future, who said that there is no chance of a comeback." The last thing she is afraid of in her life is to start all over again, but looking at the depressed prince, he is extremely disheartened, if he ends himself in the prison, the lives of more than 20 members of the Jiang family can only be buried together.
But after all, the prince listened to his father's words, and the earlier discussion made him cheer up. This time, he said to Shen Muchi, who came to interrogate, "This matter is the plan of one person in the palace, and the queen mother also went to report it, and the matter of forcing the palace has nothing to do with the Jiang family." β
The Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but Shen Muchi narrowed his eyes slightly, "You know that this is not the answer that my father wants. β
"But that's the truth." The prince said awe-inspiringly. Jiang Cailing's lips were slightly raised, and she was really teachable.
Things were no different from what she expected, the Queen Mother heard that this matter had nothing to do with the Jiang family and immediately put pressure on the emperor, and the ministers of the Jiang faction in the court also jointly tried to rescue Jiang Xiang. The Emperor imprisoned them for another ten days in the name of investigation, and only released them after no avail. The prince was not so lucky, and was demoted to a commoner and exiled to the border pass, and was not allowed to return to Beijing for life.
Cai Ling didn't know what happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was invited to the carriage of the Qin Palace's as soon as she walked out of the prison.
Later, I heard that although his father did not personally participate in the forced palace, he was accused of being an auxiliary prince and was demoted to Shu. She went to Shuzhong once when she was a child, although the mountain is steep, the air is very fresh and the stream is sweet, and there is a fat cat with black and white fur, its naΓ―ve state is extremely cute, she has always wanted to raise one in the backyard, and when drinking tea, just watching it nap can pass the time for half a day.
Shen Muchi didn't allow her to walk out of the courtyard gate for half a step. Qin Wangfu couldn't keep her, and He Yue was so good at holding her that she could easily fly off the wall. But that day, Shen Muchi suddenly came, and he didn't go into the house and only drank a cup of tea in the yard, leaving her enough time to hide He Yue. It wasn't until she hid her nervousness and walked out with a pretended smile that he slowly spoke: "If you want to leave, this king will naturally not stay." But you also know in your heart that they don't necessarily want you to follow. β
She frowned but still smiled, "What is Your Highness talking about, how can there be a father who doesn't want a daughter." After saying that, she looked at him for a moment with his smiling eyes, and she finally said dejectedly, "What should I do?" You let me go home, and I won't go to Shuzhong with me. β
He is right, how could my father want such a flamboyant person as her to follow her now in order to save his life, and the emperor wants her to marry Shen Muchi, is it really because of her blue heart, gentleness and virtuousness? It is nothing more than to put the most valuable person of the Jiang family under house arrest in Beijing. In the huge capital, the most suitable place is the Qin Palace. It's funny, the Jiang family has three sons-in-law and three concubines, and the person who makes the emperor mind the most is actually her a weak woman, is Jiang Men unfortunate or her luck?
Jiang Cailing sighed, "It's okay." I didn't want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I could always see the Baique Pavilion annoying in the room of Dongxi Building, so I bothered you in your mansion for a while, and when Your Highness was bored, I would buy a house next to the palace, and from then on you and I only need to be in harmony with our neighbors. She took the teapot from his hand and took it to the house to drink.
He Yue waited for a pillar of incense before leaving, and there was no one in the courtyard for a long time, and the guards outside the courtyard gate had changed from eight to two. For more than half a month, because she was quiet and quiet, the two of them suddenly disappeared, and she could walk around in King Qin's mansion at will.
That corner of the pond is very similar to that of Ziwei Palace, the same red railing of the nine-song corridor, the same white lotus and purple lotus, she leaned on the willow on the bank of the river to watch a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. At the end of September, the weather was slightly cool, and the close-fitting girl was called Manyun, and she draped a moon-white coat on her shoulders. She gathered her clothes, although the texture was soft but not as soft as Jiangnan silk, she glanced down and said indifferently, "This is not my clothes." "She loves bright colors, and she never has moon-white clothes.
"The girl is in a hurry to enter the house this time, and the house has no time to prepare suitable clothes for the girl, if the girl has anything to like, Manyun will inform the steward, is it good to buy tomorrow?" Manyun Road.
"I didn't mean that." Although she entered the mansion in a hurry, the dowry of several truckloads was sent to the Qin Palace's mansion many days earlier, and it would be forgivable if Shen Muchi coveted her a few boxes of jewelry, but her old clothes would also have to be detained. It seems that she is going to find an opportunity to talk to him.
"Biluo girl......" Manyun curtsied to the east. She raised her head to look in the direction of the passer, only to see that the person was wearing an emerald brocade Luo skirt, with light steps and swaying, the skirt was sent by the shopkeeper of the Cui Shirt Building two months ago, claiming that the fabric came from the Western Regions tribute, she has always disliked this skirt The waist is a little tight, and she can't imagine that it is still a little loose on Biluo's body. She has always envied Biluo Liu's waist, and now she is even more angry.
"Why are you wearing my clothes?" I couldn't help but question the rear to know that I had lost my bearing. In the past, Cai Qian often stole her jewelry and clothes, she turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, and sometimes laughed and teased, "You really look better than me in orange." β
"The girl doesn't know." Manyun pulled her sleeve and whispered, "These are all rewarded by the prince to Miss Biluo." β
"On what basis does he give my things to others?" Cai Ling said angrily.
"Lord Wang, he ......" Manyun didn't finish his sentence, and saw that Jiang Cailing was already riding on Biluo's body, and she looked at the thin but brute strength that came from nowhere to tear Biluo's dress to shreds. Biluo's entourage hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away, but only to hear her say coldly, "The man and this girl can give it to you!" Nothing else! β
Biluo cried all night after being humiliated, Shen Muchi accompanied him carefully, and heard that he later ordered someone to burn all those dowries, and gave Biluo several boxes of jewelry. Manyun said: "The girl and the prince have known each other since childhood, how can they not understand the prince's temperament, if you say a few good words, this matter will pass." Jiang Cailing only felt heartache for the picture of a hermit painting of flowers and birds in the box, which was obtained by looking for people everywhere, and now it has been burned!
Early the next morning, he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and without the expected anger and confinement, he only said coldly, "Jiang Cailing, you are jealous of this king, you know." But now that you are also a parasitic fence, is there any capital for jealousy? This king advises you to stay in the house honestly during this time, and not to wander around. He turned to leave, she threw out the teacup in the palm of her hand in a rage, he didn't turn his head back and only turned sideways slightly, the teacup fell to the corner of the wall and shattered, the sound of the clang caused the guards at the door to pour in, he didn't look at the teacup, and walked away.
It is rumored that the prince beat Jiang Xiang's daughter for Miss Biluo, and smashed a lot of furniture and supplies, warning him that if he dares to cross the rules again, he will not end well.
If he dares to do it, I will definitely set fire to this Qin Palace.
She was furious when she heard the rumors. But after all, it is under the fence, and it is not too late to settle accounts after the limelight has passed. She thought to herself.
