The successive turmoil caused by the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, except for a few people concerned, officials of the DPRK and China avoided talking about these matters, whether they were visiting relatives for the New Year or visiting relatives, or even never mentioned these matters. Even those imperial histories, relatives and friends respected them, even the colleagues who had attacked Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing's father and son with them.

This kind of treatment of being alienated or even isolated, several imperial historians are naturally flustered and not angry, and they are naturally hugging each other tightly at the moment, and at the same time, they hope that the person who gave them such an idea can come up with the next backhand.

And on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the back hand they had been waiting for finally came. Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, and this news, which was originally known only to a few people, was almost like a whirlwind, circulating throughout the capital, and the meaning of it shocked countless people.

Although the officialdom is calm for the time being, few people meet to discuss the news, but the common people do not have such a high consciousness. This kind of thing is not held accountable by the law, and the law cannot stop rumors, and there are countless people who whisper.

"Not just three in the same day! I heard that Dr. Zhang of Guozijian, the eldest lady of Zhao Guogong's Mansion and Princess Yongping, were born in the same place on the same day! Brother, you are older, what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of August in the tenth year of Yongchen? ”

"Hey, just ask me and I'm right! You were young at the time, so you didn't know that the Yeshu people rebelled on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole capital was in chaos, and it was hard to guarantee that something messy happened that day...... Then again, if three children are born on the same day, if they hold each other wrong...... Phew, brother, you just didn't say anything to me, and I forgot about it! ”

"Brother, don't be so taboo, there is no one else here! It is definitely impossible to mistake the child with the caution of the palace and the Zhao Guogong Mansion. If you want me to say, such a marriage with a huge difference in family background may be decided because of the fate of being born on the same day. But why Dr. Zhang and Miss Zhu? Maybe it's Princess Yongping and Dr. Zhang? ”

"Huh? It makes sense! I heard that when the emperor chose a son-in-law before, he wanted to choose two horses and two honor guests, but after the news came out in the end, there were only two horse and two honor guests, and Princess Yongping suddenly stopped marrying...... Could it be that the eldest lady of the Zhu family, who is more flying in and out than the princess and county lord, robbed the horse set by Princess Yongping in her early years? ”

When such rumors gradually flew into the mansions, and even the inner garden of the deep palace, the reactions of each family were completely different. In the mansion of Zhao Guogong, while the Guozijian had not yet opened, Zhang Shou came and went as usual, and Zhu Ying often went to visit the Wu family next door, and discussed how to renovate the Luwang Courtyard by the way.

And Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang didn't even forbid people to discuss this matter, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that it was possible to ban it on the surface, but in private, maybe the meeting would be more ruthless, since this is the case, it is better to ignore it.

Of course, the two of them had such an open-minded attitude, but it was because Zhu Ying's eyebrows danced back on the night of the first day of the first lunar month, and while conveying Ge Yong's clear attitude of maintenance, he also told them Zhang Shou's words with joy. Knowing that the children were really happy with each other, of course the two of them had nothing to worry about.

Compared with the stability and tranquility of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, in the Yonghe Palace of Concubine Yu in the palace, it was a genuine black cloud that overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it. Since the accident in the tenth year of Yongchen, the straightforward but stubborn Jiuniang escaped into Zhaoming Temple, but Concubine Yu has become taciturn from the previous bright and refreshing, which inevitably affected Princess Yongping.

Therefore, when the news came to Yonghe Palace, because Concubine Yu and Princess Yongping's mother and daughter had always been lenient, the two chamberlains and most of the palace people tacitly agreed to hide the news from them. But the paper can't contain the fire after all, first Princess Yongping heard the news at Princess Deyang because the palace maid said that she leaked her mouth, and then the concubine who came to visit pierced this layer of window paper to Concubine Yu.

When Princess Yongping came back, she saw her mother dressed in a royal blue suit, carrying a sword, and was heroic...... Or a murderous look. At that moment, she was accustomed to seeing her mother's sorrowful face and depressed, and she felt that she was in the wrong place.

Seeing her come back, several palace people who were originally blocking in front of Concubine Yu were relieved, and one of them hurriedly rushed towards her, knelt down and begged bitterly: "Princess, you must persuade Concubine Yu, she said...... She said she was going to Kunning Palace to seek justice! ”

"Mother, do you also think that the queen is fanning the flames behind her back and making waves?"

didn't look at the palace people who were so frightened that they were about to scatter, Princess Yongping stared at her mother, and then saw Concubine Yu smiling at her: "Mingyue, do you think I am really a bodhisattva who doesn't care about anything?" Who else will use this ridiculous trick except that woman? I've put up with her for so many years, and she's really treated me as a bully dough? ”

Concubine Yu shook her hand casually, and several palace people who originally stopped her fell around, and she flicked her sword lightly, and her face showed a sharp edge that she had never seen in these years: "I put up with her to let her, just to ask for a quiet and stable, to save the queen mother's displeasure, the emperor is troubled, she is becoming more and more powerful!" I've not cultivated myself all these years, but I just don't want to die and break the net! ”

"My son didn't teach her well, it was originally because she was crooked at the top and crooked, but now she is accusing you of having a problem with your life experience, she has that face!" How did the soldiers and horses of the Yeshu people be led to the temple where she and Jiu Niang made incense, and did she really have no guesses? You must know that the emperor and Zhu Jing, the Duke of Zhao, both temporarily accompanied them!

In the past, when there were palace attendants in Yonghe Palace who secretly talked about the queen, Concubine Yu would come forward to stop her, but now she openly accused the queen of being immoral, and those people below were naturally dumbfounded. And Princess Yongping couldn't help laughing after the initial accident, not to mention today's anger, even the previous grievances seemed to disappear.

Without thinking about it, she strode forward and held her mother's sword-holding hand tightly with both hands: "Mother, I know that you are for my injustice!" However, going to Kunning Palace like this, my father was embarrassed. Why don't you dance the sword in front of Yonghe Palace and show me? After so many years, in fact, I envy Zhu Ying the most is nothing else, it is she who is good at riding and archery and knows martial arts! Even if I learned, I didn't dare to use it! ”

Concubine Yu suddenly raised her eyebrows. She stared at Princess Yongping with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay!" But Yonghe Palace is too small, you go to change clothes, let's go to the Imperial Garden! I can't get used to some pampered flowers and plants, I can't get used to it for a long time! ”

When Princess Yongping came out in a riding outfit, and followed Concubine Yu out of the gate of Yonghe Palace with a sword in her hand, several palace people and chamberlains looked at each other for a moment, and the palace maid headed by the palace immediately hurried to Qianqing Palace.

At this time, I can only count on the emperor to persuade the mother who plans to make a big move!

Concubine Yu didn't hit Kunning Palace, and they, the people of Yonghe Palace, were relieved, but in the imperial garden, there was a cluster of precious peonies that the queen of Kunning Palace liked to be planted! If it was really according to Concubine Yu's tone just now, she broke the hearts of these queens, what was the difference between that and directly facing Kunning Palace?

The big palace maid of Yonghe Palace went to Qianqingmen to report the news, and after the emperor learned of Concubine Yu's abnormal behavior, he was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed out loud: "I thought that her temperament had become more and more peaceful over the years, but I didn't expect that the popularity was just pressed in the bottom of my heart." Don't worry that she will destroy the flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden, she is not a person who angers foreign objects! ”

"With that kung fu, she will definitely break the Kunning Gate first!"

That being said, the emperor stood up without even thinking about it. He had already guessed that Concubine Yu released these words, and at the same time made such a gesture, not really to smash the Kunning Gate, or to make a mess in the imperial garden, it was obviously to fish out the queen in the Kunning Palace. If he doesn't go now...... I'm probably going to have to face a big trouble when I turn around!

Sure enough, when the emperor arrived at the Imperial Garden, which he did not often go to on weekdays—after all, there were often concubines and palace people who liked to wait there and wait to meet him—he heard the shrill scolding of the queen at the door.

"Concubine Yu, you know that this top-grade crown Qunfang is mine, you still use a sword to chop branches and leaves, do you still have rules, what are your intentions?"

"It's true that this crown is a rare famous product in the imperial garden, but why does the queen say that it's yours? This flower is not planted in Kunning Palace, and the second has never hung a sign, saying that the queen owns, idlers retreat, I just took the bright moon to dance the sword here, is it possible to violate the palace rules? ”

Princess Yongping has never seen her, she has always been kind to others, and she is also a silent and patient mother in front of the queen, so she will have such a sharp and piercing side!

At that moment, she had been trying her best to learn from Concubine Yu, hoping to be more like Concubine Yu's daughter, she couldn't help but feel confused, and only felt that her consistent imitation was to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog, as if it was a joke.

The queen didn't expect that Concubine Yu, who had been guarding herself all these years, would dare to talk back to herself, and she was so angry that she trembled for a while: "Good Concubine Yu, such sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" This crown Qunfang is a tribute from other places, and the Queen Mother rewarded Kunning Palace, this matter is documented, how can you quibble! Where can you dance the sword, but you have to be in front of this crown of flowers, isn't this everywhere a proof? ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, the world from the people to the land, it is the emperor. Could it be that when you get to the palace, it's not the truth? Up and down the palace, even people and things, all belong to the emperor, how can there be private belongings? Otherwise, wouldn't the concubines in the palace be able to take the so-called private belongings to fund their mother's family? ”

Concubine Yu nodded unhurriedly, and when she saw that the queen's face was suddenly cold, she couldn't help but smile.

Over the years, the queen's family has obviously deteriorated, but she can still use money to subsidize the eldest prince, the eldest son of the emperor who is the most promising to enter the East Palace, where did the money come from? Isn't it that in the early years, the queen quietly sent those royal eunuchs, and the jewelry and even porcelain for the Kunning Palace were sent to her mother's family in the name of rewards, and then her mother's family mortgaged these things to buy property and operate for profit?

And Concubine Yu's words have not finished there: "As for the queen mother saying that I cut this crown full of branches and leaves, it will be even more funny, why don't you call a gardener to tell the difference, to see if this is the branch and leaf that the wind blows, or the branch and leaf that I cut with a sword?" Is it the branches and leaves on the other flowers and plants, or the branches and leaves on the crown of this queen mother? ”

The queen's face suddenly turned red. When she heard the news, she hurried over, but she didn't want to spend it, and took this opportunity to hit Concubine Yu again, that was the real purpose. But she never expected that she would fall into a trap!

Seeing the corners of Princess Yongping's mouth upturned behind Concubine Yu, as if she was ridiculing her for stealing chickens and rice, she was furious, where did she remember what taboos and restraints at the moment, but she didn't choose to say anything for a while.

"Good for you, a sharp mouth that turns black and white upside down! But no matter how clever you are, you can't hide it from me! Not to mention that you and the woman of the Zhu family, as well as the widow Zhang, gave birth on the same day, the life history of the three children was already entangled, it was the marriage contract announced by the Zhu family, and there was no marriage certificate at all, who knows what was going on! ”

"I know if you and the woman of the Zhu family are in order to survive for themselves, let Wen Po deliver you first, and kill Widow Zhang! Otherwise, how could the woman of the Zhu family agree to marry the arrogant and domineering Zhu Ying to a poor man like Zhang Shou! You are dragging Yongping's marriage hard, do you look at Zhang Shou well, and plan to take away this son-in-law, or let Yongping and Zhu Ying serve a husband together! ”

Concubine Yu deliberately came to this farce, just waiting for the queen to be carried away by anger and make a fuss. But she was obviously mentally prepared, and when she was really poked by her for the regret of the year, she was still furious.

New hatred and old hatred came to her heart, and she saw that Princess Yongping was so angry that she wanted to step forward to theorize, and suddenly waved her sword with her right hand to stop her. Seeing that the queen saw the pupils of the sharp blade in her hand shrink, she smiled and stepped forward slowly with her sword.

At this moment, the queen was suddenly frightened. She knew how unusual Concubine Yu was among the palace concubines, and she thought that in that desperate situation where she was almost certain to die, everyone could join forces with Mrs. Zhao Jiuniang and that Widow Zhang, and finally gave birth to a son safely, how could she be able to fight?

Almost subconsciously, she shouted, "Come on, come on!" Concubine Yu wants to assassinate the palace......"

Just when her voice was at its highest, a voice suddenly came: "Is it enough?" ”

When he heard the sound in front of the door, the emperor, who hurried over with his pace, glanced at the queen angrily, and when he saw Concubine Yu calmly accepting the sword and bowing on his knees, he reached out and snatched the sword angrily.

Looking down at it for a while, his anger increased even more, and then he glanced at the queen who seemed to be pinched by some invisible hand in his throat again, so he suddenly stopped his voice, and then said with a gloomy face: "Stab? Has the queen ever seen someone stab with a blunt sword that has never been sharpened? ”

He casually handed over the sword in his hand, and saw that the queen was so frightened that she took a step back, and she didn't dare to take it at all, and he was even more angry in his heart: "The events of the day, I remember that I once issued a ban on not talking about myself, the queen, as the lord of the six palaces, but you are open-mouthed, as if you are afraid that the outside world will not be fierce enough?" Moreover, every word is exactly the same as the rumors outside, Kunning Palace is well-informed! ”

Without waiting for the pale-faced queen to defend herself, he said lightly: "Come on, send the queen back to Kunning Palace!" ”
