Xu saw that my face was cold, and Zhao Rongxian simply stopped talking.

I was even more unhappy for a while by his attitude, "What is this doing, prince?" I won't talk about it halfway through, what? Want to take another side concubine? ”

Not to mention, if it is really a kiss, in addition to the prince, it is really Zhao Rongxian who is the most suitable.

After all, this Jiang Wan is just a side concubine, and I, the main concubine, are from a humble background, so I can't compare to a foreign princess.

If that foreign princess marries into the palace, maybe one day she will find a reason to reduce my side concubine to a concubine.

I looked at Zhao Rongxian coldly, very unhappy in my heart.

Zhao Rongxian paused, and opened his mouth again, "I was thinking, Bao Na Yunxiu Princess once, after all, she is also kind to me, if she has not disappeared this time, it will be difficult for Zhou Guo to start a war." You also know that not long ago, the Northern Dynasty was at war with other countries, and now its vitality is greatly damaged, and it is absolutely impossible to toss it anymore. ”

"So, I thought about it, when Princess Yunxiu arrives, let her live in the Four Princes' Mansion for the time being, and then find a reason to send her away when she arrives."

I can understand that Zhao Rongxian is trying to avoid war with Zhou State, sacrificing himself, and pretending to marry Princess Nayunxiu.

If he hadn't been hesitant in the first place, and hadn't mentioned his intersection with Princess Nayunxiu, even though I felt uncomfortable, I wouldn't have thought too much about it.

But his hesitant words also said that Princess Yunxiu had great kindness to the Northern Dynasty, or rather, to him, to him who became the emperor many years later.

This concern made me think elsewhere.

I suppressed my emotions and tried my best to squeeze out a smile, "What the prince means is to sacrifice the small self and achieve the big self, if the concubine body is not misunderstood, this is what it means, right?" ”

"Ah Huan, I promise you, after two years, our Northern Dynasty will recover its former vitality, and I will find a reason to send her away." Zhao Rongxian has been married to me for many years, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong with me.

But what can I say, he is for the country and the people, if I quarrel with him, it will seem that I don't know the general situation.

Besides, if I don't agree, will he listen to me?

I still had a smile on my face, pretending not to care, "Since the prince has decided, why bother asking the concubine again, besides, the concubine is a woman, and she doesn't understand such national affairs." ”

"Ah Huan ......"

"What kind of expression is this, Lord Wang? And what do you want to explain? Didn't the concubine body already say it, and the concubine body understood. Zhao Rongxian held my hand, as if he wanted to say something, but before he finished speaking, I interrupted again.

But this time, I didn't lose my temper like I used to, and I didn't push him away.

Calm down, even I was surprised.

Maybe it's because I don't love him as much as I used to, so I don't care as much as I used to.

Even if I cared, I wouldn't care if I was killed, and in the end I lost my life.

I don't have anything to say about what he will take a concubine for in the future, or if he falls in love with someone else.

Compared with those love and love in the past, I know very well that what I should care about most is my own fate and the fate of our Bai family. In this royal family, just with sincerity, you can't go far.

I think this is the first time I've been so hypocritical.

Xu was because I didn't make trouble, but Zhao Rongxian was surprised, he stared at me for a long time, and didn't say the last word, just held my hand tightly.

Yet that night, neither of us spoke to anyone.

Zhao Rongxian kept his eyes closed, lying on the bed and not moving, but I knew that he was not asleep at all, and if he was asleep, he would not be so motionless.

I didn't move either......

On the second day, when I woke up, Zhao Rongxian had disappeared, and he probably went to the palace.

I dressed as usual, and then applied powder and rouge, and did what I had to do.

At noon, the second princess came, and her face was not very good-looking.

As soon as I entered the door, he mysteriously pulled me into the house and sent all the subordinates down.

"Fourth brother and sister, have you heard that our Northern Dynasty had a truce with the Zhou State some time ago, and now we are preparing for peace between the two countries. Each of the two countries married a princess. The second princess looked out, lowered her voice to the lowest, and sighed, "Now that we are in the Northern Dynasty, the third sister and the fourth sister have reached the marriageable age, and I don't know who will be selected at that time, and the third sister and the fourth sister are crying today." ”

"It's also unavoidable." As a princess, this is the mission, just as Zhao Rongxian is a prince, this is also the mission.

Nowadays, there have been repeated wars between the Northern Dynasties and the Zhou State, but they have not reaped any benefits, and the wars between the two countries are always the people who suffer.

Speaking of which, I remember that I married the third princess in my last life, the daughter of Wei Guifei.

She was only thirteen years old when she got married, and she was supposed to go to get married seriously, but because Princess Yunxiu disappeared here, it didn't take long for the third princess to 'die of illness' in Zhou Kingdom.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little regretful, "No matter who it is, it's all hard." ”

Hearing this, the princess also sighed, "Isn't it?" You said that the third and fourth sisters are only thirteen years old, and whoever marries them is pitiful. ”

"By the way, fourth brother and sister, there is one more thing ......" The second princess coughed lightly twice and stammered, "That...... I listened to my father's tone yesterday, and it seems that ...... It was intended to let the princess of that Zhou Kingdom marry the fourth brother. ”

So, this is what the emperor meant?

If Princess Yunxiu hadn't disappeared in her previous life, she would still have fallen into Zhao Rongxian's mansion.

I was in a very complicated mood for a moment, I nodded, and I couldn't laugh anymore, "I already knew." ”

"You...... You know? ”

"Yesterday, the prince already told me about this. Come to think of it, many marriageable princes have already married, and when the prince married me from a humble background, he naturally wanted to pick a soft persimmon and pinch it. It is impossible for the Northern Dynasty to make a foreign princess a future queen, so ah, this kind of thing naturally can't fall on the crown prince's head. I shook my head and sighed, "I should be like this, and I can't say anything." ”

When the second princess heard this, she immediately showed a sympathetic look, and asked me gently, "The fourth brother and sister, what are you going to do?" ”

"What can you do? In the end, I am still a concubine, but when I am pregnant with an heir, my child is still the eldest son, even if it is a foreign princess? I am still the mistress of the palace. "I spoke indifferently, but I wasn't in a good mood.

"Princess......" I was saying when Mama Chen suddenly shouted outside the door.

I have already said that I have something to say with the second princess, so I told them not to come in and disturb them.

She is calling me outside the door right now, could it be that something is wrong?

"Come in." I immediately called out to her.

Mama Chen walked in cautiously and said in a low voice, "Princess, the emperor sent someone to pass the word, saying that the queen has been unwell recently, and she can't get any better, and invited the master of Qingyunguan, saying that she has attracted evil spirit, and you must have a blessed person to serve by her side for three months. ”

The queen is sick? No, hasn't the queen always been good?

Why did I suddenly get sick, and suddenly asked me to go into the palace to serve.

Isn't it...... The emperor thinks I'm in the way and wants to trick me into the palace and let me 'die of illness'?

For the sake of harmony, the emperor wants to kill me, the concubine, to make room for Princess Yunxiu?

Did Zhao Rongxian already know that if he didn't agree to make peace, the emperor would take my life?

He was afraid that I would be afraid, so he deliberately made up so many words to coax me, and then promised to marry Princess Yunxiu?

But even if he agreed, the emperor still wanted to get rid of me? After all, Yun Xiu is a princess of a country, how can she be a concubine?

Moreover, I had upset the emperor many times, almost hurting his self-esteem, and this time he not only showed his sincerity to Zhou Guo, but also found a valid reason to get rid of me.

Here, the queen's credit must be indispensable!

I was suddenly shocked, and I couldn't help but look at the second princess.

The second princess also realized something, her face turned pale, and she immediately asked Mama Chen, "Mama Chen, do you know where the fourth prince has gone?" Are people still in the palace now? ”

Mama Chen was slightly stunned, hurriedly went out again, and after a while, she entered the door again, "Back to the second princess, Gonggong Li, who passed the word, said that early this morning, the prince was sent by the emperor to the outside of the city, saying that there was something wrong with the canal project of the Ministry of Engineering, and let the prince keep an eye on it." ”
