Chapter 148: Discord
After Duanxiang returned to the dormitory, he was both aggrieved and sad, in the end, it was still a child's heart, and he couldn't control his emotions and cried as soon as he closed the door. No matter how much Shudie coaxes or persuades, it doesn't work.
"Princess, don't be sad, you're angry! Why don't you go and prepare dinner for you? You must be hungry, right? Shudie tried to divert Duanxiang's attention.
"Don't eat, don't eat, I won't eat! You get me out, don't bother me! Duan Xiang picked up a tea cup on the table, and smashed it at the book butterfly. The book butterfly fell backwards to dodge, accidentally tripped on the threshold, and was so frightened that she crawled out of the master's bedroom.
Shudie didn't dare to approach the dormitory anymore, so she had to sit in the courtyard. Not long after, she saw Miaoqing walking into the courtyard with a food box, and hurriedly greeted her.
"Auntie is here?" Shudie diligently took the food box from Miaoqing's hand.
"The princess is still throwing a tantrum?" As soon as Miaoqing saw that Shudie was kicked out, she knew that the princess must have lost her temper.
"Isn't it! It was useless for the slaves and maids to persuade them, and they refused to eat. Ask your aunt to help persuade the princess! Shudie only knelt down and pleaded.
"Haven't I come to bring food to the princess? The mother was reluctant to starve the princess. Saying that, Miaoqing came to the door of the dormitory and knocked on the door: "Princess, the mother has sent a slave to bring you dinner." You open the door and let the slave and maid in. ”
"Fuck off! I don't eat! With Duanxiang's roar, there was a crisp sound in the door, and another piece of porcelain was shattered.
"Princess, how can you skip dinner? If you don't take care of your body like this, your mother will feel distressed. Miao Qing still calmly persuaded.
"Where will the queen mother feel sorry for me? If she hurts me, how can she beat me so hard? Leave me alone, let me starve to death! Duan Xiang was angry and refused to open the door.
"Whether the mother hurts the princess or not, the princess knows best. Does the princess know that what you just said is really chilling to the mother? The princess is a sensible child, so don't do something worrying......" As soon as Miaoqing's words fell, the two doors in front of her opened, and Duan Xiang crossed the threshold with a cold face. Miao Qing smiled with relief: "The princess really understands things best, has she figured it out this time?" ”
Duan Xiang glanced at Miaoqing coldly, did not answer her words, nor did he let her into the house, but spared her and walked out on her own.
Before he could take a few steps, he heard Miaoqing's stern voice behind him: "Where are you going, princess?" ”
"Where is Princess Ben, can you take care of it?" Duan Xiang tugged at the corners of his mouth disdainfully. No matter how face-saving a slave is, he is also a slave after all, and he doesn't want to pose in front of her!
"Miaoqing can't take care of it, so the palace can't take care of it?" Feng Wu dragged her floor-length skirt into her daughter's yard.
"Slave maid see queen mother." Except for Duan Xiang, everyone in the courtyard knelt down to greet him. Duan Xiang looked at the palace people who were kneeling on the ground, only she and the queen mother stood opposite each other. The queen mother looked at her quietly, with anger, self-reproach, and disappointment in her unrepentant eyes...... Duanxiang's eyes were misty, and he slowly knelt down in the misty sight, and his voice trembled: "Erchen...... See Queen Mother. ”
"It's not too early, does Ruiyi still have to go out?" Feng Wu didn't tell him to be flat, and everyone knelt with Duanxiang.
"Tomorrow is Halloween, and Erchen wants to rehearse the show one last time." Duan Xiang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"The rehearsal program also needs to be full of food to have strength. Book Butterfly, help the princess go back to the house for dinner. "Feng Wu's order is beyond doubt.
Duan Xiang was dragged to the dormitory, and at the same time frequently looked back at Feng Wu. At the moment before entering the door, she finally protested loudly: "Queen Mother! You can't ......"
"Of course Hongu can!" Feng Wu waved her sleeves, and Shudie immediately pulled the princess closer to the house.
As soon as Duanxiang entered the dormitory, Feng Wu ordered someone to firmly guard the gate of the dormitory, and no one was allowed to let the princess go out without her order.
"Mother, is this appropriate? The slave is worried about hurting the relationship between you and the princess. Miao Qing faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Is our 12-year mother-daughter relationship still comparable to a drama that has known each other for two or three days? Joke! Feng Wu turned away, and Miao Qing quickly followed. Feng Wu was angry just now, but she calmed down after walking for a while, she stopped and instructed Miaoqing: "Isn't she going to rehearse?" Go and invite that play, and let them perform it in the side hall. I want to see what is so special about this play, which is worthy of Ruiyi's 'tea and dinner'! ”
"The slave obeys." Miaoqing ran all the way to Ning Xin Xiaozhu to please.
It didn't take long for Qi Qingwei to follow Miao Qing to Fengwu Palace.
"The grass people are all clear, knock to see the queen! Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! Qi Qingwei swallowed her saliva, and it was inevitable that she was a little nervous when she met the most noble woman in the world for the first time.
"Get up and talk. Bestow the seat. Feng Wu* sat on the main seat of the main hall, staring at the little people in the hall. Qi Qingwei Xie stood up and sat in a corner.
Miao Qing glanced coldly at the "culprit" who made the master, mother and daughter discordant, and presented Feng Wu with a cup of wolfberry chrysanthemum tea that cleared the liver and brightened the eyes, and by the way, she also put a cup on the table next to Qi Qingwei. Feng Wu took it but didn't drink it, but sniffed it under her nose, and she slowly said, "Although this tea is good, you can't drink it indiscriminately." Ordinary people drink it, and it does have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. However, if it is drunk by a person with yang deficiency constitution, it is easy to damage the righteous qi; People with a weak spleen and stomach can't even touch it. It can be seen that everything in the world has both good and bad sides, what does Master Qi think? ”
"What the queen mother said is extremely ......" Qi Qingwei stretched out her hand to the teacup, and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve instead.
"This palace looks like the head of the class is sweating a lot, and it's not hot this day, are you also a weak person?" Qi Qingwei didn't know how to answer, and Feng Wu didn't want him to answer, so he naturally continued his words: "Then it's better that you don't drink this wolfberry chrysanthemum tea." After speaking, he put the teacup on the table. Qi Qingwei trembled in fright, and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand.
"I don't know...... Why did the mother summon the villain? "Early death and early superbirth, Qi Qingwei simply faced the topic.
"It's nothing. I heard that you are teaching the princess how to play, and tomorrow the princess will perform a show to her father and the emperor needs a rehearsal, so I invite you to come and practice with her. It's not early, and the princess is her daughter's house, so it's not good to keep drilling into the next person's residence. What do you say, Master Qiban? Feng Wu highlighted the word "subordinate", and Ren Qi Qingwei should understand what she means if she pretends to be confused.
"Very, very." Qi Qingwei had nothing to argue, and he didn't dare to argue, so he had to pretend to be extremely humble. But who knows the unwillingness and hatred rolling in his heart at this moment!
Feng Wu ordered to invite Duan Xiang to come. After a while, Duanxiang reluctantly came to the main hall and was really taken aback when he saw Qi Qingwei also there!
"Mother, why is he here?" The moment he saw Qi Qingwei, Duanxiang had a feeling of being severely humiliated.
"Why can't he be here? Didn't you shout to practice, the queen mother helped you invite him, and you practiced in the side hall. Feng Wu paused, looked at Duan Xiang's indignant expression, and emphasized: "Practice as long as you want." ”
"In this way, do you want to thank the queen mother for thinking about her son?"
"Your filial piety to your father, how can the queen mother not support it? Without further ado, let's go to the side hall to rehearse, and if you need anything, tell Miaoqing, and she will be at the door. Feng Wu pretended to be tired and yawned: "This palace is also tired, so let's go and rest first." Practice well. With that, he left the main hall on his own.
The master left, but Miaoqing, who was a slave, did not accompany her, and she wanted to stay and monitor the princess's every move for the master. Miaoqing, who stood silently on the side, was tantamount to a huge humiliation for Duan Xiang and Qi Qingwei.
"Practice and practice! Qingwei, let's go! Duan Xiang's eyes turned red the moment he turned around. Qi Qingwei followed her to the side hall without saying a word.
In this situation, how can anyone really be in the mood to sing? Duan Xiang and Qi Qingwei sat on the chair and looked at each other. Looking at Duanxiang's dejected appearance, Qi Qingwei finally couldn't bear to break the silence first: "Princess, why don't we take it again?" ”
"Brother Qingwei, why don't you say that the queen mother doesn't understand me? I like to learn from you, what's wrong? Why did she deprive me of my liking? Duan Xiang cried as he spoke, venting all the grievances he had just endured.
Because she is the queen, she is your mother, and she is the most reckoned woman in the entire harem! Qi Qingwei shook his head, sighing in his heart but not breaking Duanxiang's innocence.
Duan Xiang seemed to think of something, and suddenly rushed to Qi Qingwei: "Brother Qingwei, you stay!" You and your troupe will stay in Yong'an City, don't go anywhere! I want to learn to sing from you all the time! ”
"Princess, don't laugh, how can a countryman like us stay in Kyoto? Even if they stay, the Diexiang class is a newcomer to the capital and has no support...... "Each place has its own sphere of influence and rules, which are not allowed to be destroyed by outsiders, and it is impossible for the Diexiang class, which has no roots in the north, to gain a firm foothold in the capital."
"Who says you're helpless? I'm your dependence! I am Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Dahan, for my sake, others dare to bully you? Duanxiang naively thought that she could become the backer of the Diexiang class, but he never thought that he would not be able to pass the level of his father and queen mother.
"My little princess, you have thought things too simply! Will your father, emperor and queen mother agree that Princess Dahan will be mixed up with the drama? It's true that you are a princess, but the rule of this world is that the princess has the final say? Qi Qingwei touched her hair comfortingly, and Duanxiang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes, although she is a princess, she can be said to have no real power. She is not like the queen mother who can be in charge of the harem, let alone the emperor who can rule the world like her father. To put it bluntly, she is nothing but the title of princess!
Power! Only the supreme power is the guarantee of doing what you want! Sometimes if you want to realize your own selfish desires, you have to rely on the power of those in power. Duan Xiang actually began to understand a little why there were always some officials in the DPRK and China who formed a party and ran a private business.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Duanxiang's mind, and he suddenly smiled brightly and mysteriously. She held Qi Qingwei's hand and said firmly, "I have a way!" ”
