Chapter 95, pretending to be pampered
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of my mouth, and I looked at him puzzled, "What, the prince doesn't like pear blossoms?" β
"Loved it...... Loved it! Zhao Rongxian gritted his teeth, and his eyes revealed obvious anger.
I smiled and continued to pretend that I didn't know, "Since you like it, then why is the prince so angry?" β
"White Joy!" He finally couldn't take it anymore, his hand grabbed my collar fiercely, word by word, "What the hell do you want to do?" β
What do I want to do?
What I want to do is probably save my life and save the Bai family.
But if you want to keep these, you must first keep your current wealth.
If you want to keep your current wealth, the most important thing is your heirs.
I looked at him calmly, the wind was light, "Didn't the concubine already say it?" The concubine body just hopes that our royal palace can have prosperous heirs. If the prince doesn't like pear blossoms, he will find a few more concubines in a few days, and you will see what you like. β
Zhao Rongxian didn't speak, he grabbed my collar tightly, and the strength in his hand became stronger and stronger.
The eyes that are usually full of affection are also covered with frost at the moment.
"You have to do this?" He closed his eyes, as if to suppress his anger.
I still maintained an innocent and calm mood, frowning at him, "What the prince is saying, the concubine can't understand." β
"Don't understand?" He sneered, his eyes full of disappointment, "I thought we had been through so much, you believe me." But now, I realize that you never believed me. β
I hung my head and didn't say anything more.
A long, long time ago, I believed in him.
But when there are more such things, it is no longer a matter of believing or not believing, but tired.
I feel too tired, I love Zhao Rongxian, it makes me feel so tired, if I only covet this royal wealth and just want to hold that monstrous power, maybe I won't be so tired at all.
In relationships, I have never been a generous woman.
I don't know if Zhao Rongxian is really as he said to Yunxiu, but I can see clearly how well he treats her.
He had told me that Yunxiu had indeed helped him a lot in the many years since I left.
A woman who has helped him, or rather, who has been through hardships with him, I don't believe he really has no feelings.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhao Rongxian didn't speak either.
The atmosphere in the room became oppressive and cold, and he kept looking at me, as if trying to get me to explain something.
But I still didn't say anything, just let him carry it, and sit on the bed like a puppet.
"Don't you just want a child? Do you think that you can be safe with a child in your hands! Yes! If you want, I'll give it to you! Zhao Rongxian let go and walked away.
That night, news came out from the South Courtyard, saying that Zhao Rongxian and Pear Blossom had made a big move.
When Pear Blossom came back the next day, there were still a lot of red marks on her neck, and it seemed that she had indeed slept last night.
She walked up to me with a shy face and bowed to me, "Pear blossom greets the princess." β
"Get up." I sat in the chair, and my heart ached, but my face still maintained the generosity and dignity that a princess should have.
Rika got up and stood very respectfully to the side.
I pointed to the chair next to me and motioned to her gently, "Sit down, don't stand, it's all a family from now on." β
When Pear Blossom heard this, she still stood in one place, not daring to move, "The princess rescued Pear Blossom from the fire pit, Pear Blossom will be the princess's slave in the future, and she will be the princess's slave for the rest of her life, and she will never dare to sit on an equal footing with the princess." β
is a person who understands the rules, and he is also a person who knows how to be grateful.
I smiled, kind and kind, "You went to bed last night, and you will be the prince's woman in the future, and when Princess Yunxiu enters the door, I will find an opportunity for the prince to give you a name." β
"What are you going to do, Mama Chen has already told you, right?"
"Don't worry, the princess, Pear Blossom will definitely conceive an heir as soon as possible." Rika nodded and said meekly.
I glanced at Pear Blossom, waved my hand and commanded her, "You were tired enough last night, go back and rest, I don't have to wait here." β
"Pear Blossom thanked the princess."
"Princess, why are you doing this?" As soon as Pear Blossom stepped out of the room, Mama Chen came over, she sighed, her eyes full of worry, "Look at what you are making trouble?" Isn't that unpleasant for yourself now? β
"Mama Chen, you can go down too, I want to be alone and be quiet." I closed my eyes, and my mood was very complicated.
Yes, Mama Chen is right.
I'm just making myself unhappy! I gave it to Zhao Rongxian, but when I saw the pear blossom at this time, I didn't feel very comfortable.
What if you're uncomfortable? As long as Pear Blossom can give birth to a child, it will be inherited to my name when the time comes, even if Zhao Rongxian has a wife and concubine next to him in the future, I will have a child by my side.
At this moment, I suddenly felt so sad.
In the past, if I had an opinion about Zhao Rongxian, I would ignore him. But now, I can't be tolerated as I used to be.
Otherwise, my ending, the ending of the Bai family, may be the same as in the previous life.
Thinking about it made me feel a little calmer.
In the next few days, I was still very generous, and I bought some clothes and rouge gouache for Pear Blossom, and told her what Zhao Rongxian's preferences were on weekdays.
Zhao Rongxian was the emperor after all, I took the initiative to give him away, and he was happy to accept it.
For the next five whole days, I let the pear blossom sleep every day, so happy.
It's just that this makes Princess Yunxiu a little unhappy.
In the afternoon, as soon as I woke up from my nap, Xiaorou, the little maid who was waiting next to Pear Blossom, ran into Qinghui Courtyard crying.
Before I could react, she fell to her knees with a pop, and immediately cried and cried, "Princess, save my master!" My master is about to let Princess Yunxiu beat her to death! β
"What? What's going on? I was shocked and hurriedly asked her, "What happened?" This is unprovoked, how could Princess Yunxiu want Lihua's life? β
Hearing this, Xiao Rou cried even more, "Today, my master wanted to go to the garden to pick some flowers and make some flower cakes for the princess, but he accidentally bumped into Princess Yunxiu." Princess Yunxiu said that my master assassinated her, and asked her entourage to arrest my master, saying that she wanted to kill my master with a cane. β
Hit? Assassination?
I've checked the life experience of Pear Blossom, an innocent family, a pair of parents are ordinary farmers, if it weren't for the younger brother in the family who was seriously ill, he wouldn't have been sold to the Qinglou, the family is an honest person, and it is an ordinary farmer who does his duty.
Princess Yunxiu's actions were clearly because of jealousy and deliberately finding fault.
"Where are the people now?" My face turned cold, and I immediately asked the maid.
The maid cried and cried, "Princess Yunxiu brought people back to the North Courtyard, saying that she would deal with them personally." β
"Mama Chen, call the guards in the mansion, and Liang Feng as well, let's go to the North Courtyard to get people."
"What for!" As soon as I arrived at the gate of the North Courtyard, I heard the screams of Pear Blossom, and before I entered the door, several of Princess Yunxiu's guards with knives pulled out their knives one after another, and the knives were generally bright and dangling towards me.
It seems that she wants to scare me away with that knife, but I am the fourth princess, and even if she is a princess, her guards are not qualified to do anything to me.
I waved my hand and called the palace guards as well.
The guards of the Zhou Kingdom were taken aback, and even more angrily reprimanded, "What do you want to do, this is the courtyard of the princess of the Zhou Kingdom, how can you idle people and others be allowed to break into it casually." β
"Open your dog's eyes and see that standing in front of you are the four princesses! She is the mistress of these four kings! Mama Chen immediately scolded the guards of the Zhou Kingdom, "Don't hurry up and get out of here!" β
When the guards of the Zhou Kingdom heard this, they were still arrogant, "We are the guards of the Zhou Kingdom, and we only obey our princess." β
Hehe, you can really speak! Doesn't this mean to tell me that they are envoys of the Zhou Kingdom, and it is disrespectful for me to be such a mean envoy to trespass into the princess's courtyard to their Zhou Kingdom?
I sneered and said solemnly, "But this is not the Zhou Kingdom, this is the Northern Dynasty." β
"You ......"
"You what you! You people in Zhou Kingdom are like this, and you don't know how to count etiquette? I interrupted him, lukewarm, "No matter how bad I am, I am also the wife of the four princes and the media, and I am the master mother of the four princes!" Why, your princess took my man, but she still didn't let me ask? You guards of the Zhou Kingdom still want to commit the following crimes and murder this princess? β
"Someone! Arrest all these people to this princess! β
As soon as I finished speaking, Liang Feng led the guards of the palace to surround them.
The guards of the Zhou State were dumbfounded, and the one who took the lead was even more furious, "We are the envoys of the Zhou Kingdom, and the mean envoys are ......"
"Shut up their mouths to this princess!" I interrupted him sharply and immediately ordered Liang Feng.
The guards of the Four Princes' Mansion were all carefully selected by Zhao Rongxian, and they all went to the battlefield with Zhao Rongxian, where could the guards of the Zhou Kingdom be opponents.
After a few moves, they were all taken down, and several people were tied together like twisted flowers, with rags stuffed in their mouths, and they all babbled, as if they were insulting me and intimidating me.
Those Zhou guards thought that they would be intimidated, and I considered that the peace between the two countries should also be taboo for them, but they did not know that their emperor would take the opportunity to start a war no matter what.
It's just that the war will be done as long as it doesn't start at this time.
"Do you think that you can intimidate this princess with the identity of an envoy?" I looked at them coldly and said lightly, "Do you think your emperor will really start a war for you guards?" β
"Even if your emperor loves the people like a son, he can't start a war for a few wicked people who molest maidservants in the palace and rob the people in the palace as envoys, right? It's not good to hear when it gets out! β
Hearing this, the Zhou State guards were stunned.
The babbling was even more violent, and it sounded like they were calling me a poisonous woman and saying that I framed them.
Yes, I framed them, but now they are all people from the Four Kings' Mansion, I am framed, who can testify to them?
I looked at them condescendingly and sneered, "Yes, I just framed you, but I just have to frame you, what can you do?" β
"Xiaorou, do they want to scare you?" I immediately asked the little maid next to me.
Xiaorou is a clever girl, when she heard me say this, she immediately wiped her tears and cried, "Yes, it's just a few of them, their master captured the pear blossom girl, and they still want to be a light slave, fortunately the princess arrived in time, otherwise the slave and maid ...... The slave and maid will not be able to live! β
She cried more and more, and cried more and more, as if she had been bullied by the guards.
The guards were completely dumbfounded.
"You guys, be honest, or I'll send you to Dali Temple!" When they heard me, the guards stopped calling.
They also know very well in their hearts why their master would arrest Pear Blossom, in the final analysis, they don't take advantage of it, and now they are on the territory of Da Zhou.
Maybe the envoys who escorted their masters were valuable, but the lives of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals were not an exaggeration.
Therefore, they no longer called.
"Put them in the woodhouse." After saying that, I went straight to the north courtyard.
At this moment, Princess Nayunxiu was sitting in the courtyard, with two maids standing on each side, both holding fruit and tea in their hands.
"Ah......h
At this moment, Rika Blossom's buttocks were almost blood-red, and the bright red blood completely soaked her clothes, and she couldn't see half of the original color.
Princess Yunxiu lay on the rattan chair and said loudly, "Fight!" Beat this princess to death! How dare you assassinate Princess Ben! β
"Stop!" Seeing that the board was about to fall on Rika again, I immediately shouted.
Princess Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, and when she saw me, she was surprised and annoyed at first, but quickly changed to a kind smile, got up and walked over and said, "Why does Sister Princess have time to come to me?" β
"What are you doing here? Why is it so cruel to Rika? "I pretended I didn't know.
A touch of unhappiness flashed in Princess Yunxiu's eyes, but she quickly calmed down again, pointed at Pear Blossom, who was already a little dying, and said angrily, "Sister Princess doesn't know, this slut, she actually wants to assassinate Princess Ben!" β
"Is there such a thing?" I feigned surprise.
Princess Yunxiu immediately swore an oath, "Exactly, I don't know who sent this assassin, this princess is interrogating!" β
Interrogate? This is clearly trying to take Rika's life for the reason of interrogation.
Before, I thought that Princess Yunxiu was naΓ―ve, but now it seems that I was wrong, the so-called naivety, I am afraid that it is all pretended. As for whether it's because of jealousy or something else, I don't know, but to say that Rika is an assassin is really deliberately wronged.
In the end, I bought the pear blossoms, and I also sent them to Zhao Rongxian, she is also an honest person, I can't just leave her alone if something happens.
Besides, right now, this Princess Yunxiu is attacking Pear Blossom, and next time she may have to find other reasons to attack me!
I swept the pear blossoms, pretending to be indifferent to the pear blossoms, but caring for Princess Yunxiu.
"Princess Yunxiu, it was really my negligence that such a thing happened to you in the Four Kings' Mansion! It is the negligence of our Four Princes' Mansion! I bought this girl some time ago, I thought she was an honest person, but she turned out to be an assassin! β
"Isn't it...... Princess Yunxiu looked angry, but the gaze in her eyes was clearly the pride after the conspiracy succeeded, pointing at Pear Blossom and scolding, "Today, you must let her know that it is ...... powerful"
"Yes, I must let her know that it is amazing!" I echoed her and raised my voice, "Come on, go to the official, and send this slut Pear Blossom to Dali Temple!" It is necessary to find out who is behind her! β
Hearing my words, Princess Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, she never imagined that I would think of sending people to Dali Temple.
I think she did this because she wanted to kill two birds with one stone, first, to say that Zhao Rongxian's current pet maid Pear Blossom assassinated her, and secondly, to bend in front of Zhao Rongxian and say that Pear Blossom was my mastermind.
But if this matter really makes trouble in Dali Temple, it will not be so easy.
Therefore, she will never let the report to the official.
Sure enough, she immediately stopped it again, and said meaningfully, "Sister Princess, this is not necessary, if this slanders others in order to protect herself, she will not be able to tell ten mouths when the time comes." β
Is she threatening me?
I pretended to be even more stupid, and said with a serious face, "Princess Yunxiu's words are wrong, you are the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom who came to make peace, and you are the hero of the peace between the two countries, and now that you have been assassinated, you must find out clearly!" β
As I spoke, I looked at her body again, and pretended to wonder, "Princess Yunxiu was assassinated, but where was the injury?" β
"No, Princess Ben hid quickly, and this thief didn't have time." Princess Yunxiu looked a little weak, and stumbled and said, "Sister Princess, I don't need to report this matter to the official, and I don't have any big problems, now I have only been in the Northern Dynasty for a long time." As soon as he arrived, he was confronted by the Assassins, who said that it would be an obstacle to peace between the two countries. β
Is it an obstacle to peace between the two countries? It's clearly afraid of scrutiny!
I frowned, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Princess Yunxiu, how can you say that?" Peace between the two countries is important, but if Princess Yunxiu doesn't even have her life, how can there be peace between these two countries? β
"Just in case of trouble, report to the official immediately!" Without waiting for Princess Yunxiu to speak, I immediately instructed Liang Feng again, "Lord Liang, please collect some evidence." β
"Princess Yunxiu, I don't know what this assassin used to commit murder? Which sect of kung fu is used! Princess Yunxiu, how did you dodge? β
I asked questions again and again, and Princess Yunxiu's face suddenly turned a little blue.
She stumbled, "This ...... The Assassin used...... Be...... Hey, my head hurts. Sister Princess, I may be a little unaccustomed to the soil, but I was shocked by this thief again, and now I am not very comfortable, I want to rest, and this matter will trouble Sister Princess. β
Immediately after saying this, she commanded her maidservant to help her into the house.
When it came to this, she also knew my intentions, so she had to let her go.
I wouldn't really report to the official, and immediately ordered Mama Chen and them to help the pear blossoms up.
Pear Blossom was beaten half to death, and she cried pitifully when she saw me, "Princess, you are finally here, Pear Blossom still thinks ...... I thought I was going to die. β
Seeing the pear blossom like this, I didn't know what to say for a while.
If I hadn't bought her, she wouldn't have had to suffer such a sin, although Pear Blossom is beautiful, it is not as important as those beauties given by the emperor before, which is why Mama Chen chose her.
If others bullied her, she would not be able to fight back at all, let alone Princess Yunxiu.
I patted her hand gently and comforted her gently, "It's okay." β
After a while, the doctor invited him and said that the pear blossom was fine, but he should pay attention to the wound and remember to clean and change the dressing in time.
"Princess, Pear Blossom said she wanted to see you." As soon as the doctor left, Mama Chen also walked out of Lihua's room, looking a little weird.
I was baffled by her look, but I was going to see Pear Blossom, so I just went in.
"Princess, please, please save the slave!" As soon as I entered the door, Rika struggled to get to her knees.
I hurriedly grabbed her and comforted her gently, "Rika, you don't have to worry, this won't happen in the future." β
"No, princess, it's the prince...... Lord, he never touched me at all. Pear Blossom lay on the bed, her pale little face was full of tears, and she sobbed lowly, "Lord Wang, he lets the slave and maid sleep on the couch next to him every day, and forces the slave and maid to make some movement, and the slave and maid can't sleep well every night." β
"The prince also asked the slave and maid to make some traces on their bodies, and the slaves and maids on their necks and bodies were all grabbed and pinched by themselves. The prince also didn't let the slave tell you, and the prince said that if the slave didn't do it, he would ...... sent the slave and maid back to Jiyue Tower. β
"But...... At present, Princess Yunxiu also wants the life of the slave, the princess, the slave wants to live, please, please save the slave. β
Zhao Rongxian: He hasn't touched pear blossoms?
If he doesn't want to touch it, why is he still tossing people so much? Who is he doing this on purpose?
Do it for me to see? But when he did this, he provoked Princess Yunxiu to kill Pear Blossom.
I was a little speechless for a moment, and I felt even more guilty.
Pear Blossom is an honest girl who has no city government and no family background, and now I have pushed her to such a target, which will inevitably make her persecuted.
Although I am a merchant, in the end, I have been relived for a lifetime, and I am still sitting in the position of this concubine, Princess Yunxiu just wants to harm me, and she does not dare to do it easily.
So she poured all her anger on Rika.
My mood was very complicated, I nodded and whispered to her, "Pear Blossom, don't be afraid, you won't die." After a while, the prince will come back, I will go to see her, and you will not have to go to the prince's house to serve in the future, if you want to, you can stay in my yard, if you want to go home, I can send you home. β
"Thank you, Princess......" Rika cried even more with tears in her eyes.
I comforted her with a few words, and two right-hand men took care of her.
After dinner, seeing that it was almost dark, I freshened up and went to the south courtyard.
When I entered the door, Zhao Rongxian was facing away from me, shaking a rattle in his hand, and when he heard the sound, he coldly ordered, "Go to the couch outside and make some noise, but don't make a noise now, wait until the king sleeps." β
He thought it was Pear Blossom coming?
He's funny, and he makes a noise, but only after he's asleep.
Isn't it obvious that he sleeps comfortably, but he just doesn't let the girl sleep?
"It's me......" I calmly walked in.
Zhao Rongxian stiffened slightly, and then turned his head to stare at me, as if he was a little panicked, but soon he regained his composure and asked me with a gloomy face, "Why are you here?" β
"If the prince doesn't like pear blossoms, if he doesn't let her serve, why torture people like this." I walked up to him, didn't even salute, and sat down on the stool next to me.
The corners of Zhao Rongxian's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and the smile was a little distorted, "Pear Blossom came to you to complain?" β
"Because of the prince's favor, Pear Blossom was almost tortured to death by Princess Yunxiu." I sent Pear Blossom over before, but I didn't want to make Zhao Rongxian pampered every day, let alone make such a big move.
Zhao Rongxian also knew very well that if this movement was too loud, Lihua would be jealous of others, not Princess Yunxiu, but Jiang Wan.
All...... Did he do it on purpose?
I looked up at him and asked again in a cold voice, "Did you do it on purpose?" β
"You're here to ask the sinner?" He asked me rhetorically.
Yes, I did come to ask about sin, but I can't say that, even though I have already asked about sin.
So I didn't speak......
Zhao Rongxian was even more unhappy when he saw that I didn't speak, he was almost angry, as if he had been holding back for a long time.
Suddenly, he slapped his palm on the table and said sharply, "Bai Huanxi, you are really good!" Give a concubine to your husband, your husband refuses to touch her, and you have to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt! β
"You tell me! What exactly do you want to do? β
"I want a child......" I said calmly, looking at him.
"Kid? If you want to have children so much, instead of spending time on others, you should think about how to please your husband and how to be more intimate with your husband! Before I could react, Zhao Rongxian suddenly scooped me up from the stool.
