"Children are fate, there is is icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Liu Xu said, "Don't be so pessimistic, this king will also let the best imperial doctor to condition your body, and there will be a day of recovery." ”

"I hope so. The smile on the corner of the third lady's mouth was even more bitter, "The concubine wanted to marry the prince at the age of thirteen, and since then I decided that I must give birth to the prince, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to do so far." The concubine is not afraid of hardship, and the concubine is not afraid of being wronged, but I am afraid that I will not be able to give anything to the prince!"

The third lady is obviously the one who has been hurt the most, but she doesn't mention how to make Liu Xu compensate for the injuries and grievances she has suffered, she just blindly feels that she can't stand Liu Xu, which makes Liu Xu feel even more unpleasant in her heart, and she pities her even more.

They grew up together, and the girl who was always delicate and always proud when she was a child married herself desperately, but she was still defeated by time after all. She is a jewel, and she is herself who makes her dusty, Liu Xu thinks about it, but these women around her can't stand any of them.

It's just that as the princess said, the interests of the back house are colluded, whether it is a higher position, or his favor, it is limited, since the limited will inevitably cause competition, and there is competition and scheming means, but the degree is just severe.

He himself was born into a royal family, and grew up in a royal family, how could he not know?

He couldn't ask others to come out of the mud without staining, because he couldn't do it himself, and in ten years he had done a lot of things that went against his former principles. How to maintain his original intention and maintain a kind heart, he is also constantly asking himself.

Although the third lady did not mention her grievances, Liu Xu could not ignore the compensation for her, and after spending the night here, the next day, the various treasures and supplements that were rewarded were like flowing water, and came to Qiongfang Courtyard.

Although the third lady is also happy, her current mood is very different from before, the previous ecstasy seems to have disappeared, and she is now more calm and indifferent.

Some people are happy and some are sad, and in the midst of the turmoil, they can never imagine what will happen in the next moment and what will happen tomorrow.

Just like the princess, she was still handling the affairs of the palace before yesterday, but now she is confined to Tongzhi Courtyard and has become a loser.

"Second Madam, she must be very happy now, right?" The princess's face was very calm, and she had accepted the fact of her current situation in a short period of time, without too much anger or loss, "For so many years, she has always wanted to completely control the palace, and she wants the position of this princess, and now she should get her wish, right?"

Qiu Lin silently accompanied the princess, her sister Qiu Tong had been sent to the Zhuangzi, she had just come to the palace, just accompanied by the princess's side, and encountered such a thing. However, she did not show any complaints from beginning to end, and has been silently accompanying the princess, which has increased the princess's trust in her.

"Since the prince has not finally spoken on this matter, the princess does not have to think in the worst direction. Qiu Lin said, "Even if things develop in the worst direction, but princess, the impermanence of life is a normal thing, people who are frustrated today may not be proud tomorrow, and people who are proud today may not be able to be proud forever." As long as you are alive, as long as you have a breath, you will still have a chance!

The princess raised her eyes and glanced at Qiu Lin, and said with a smile: "You are very combative." ”

"yes. When I was a child, my family was poor, and because I couldn't eat enough, my body was weak, and I was often bullied by other children in the village. But the slave and maid will never give up, as long as there is a chance, I will take revenge on those who have bullied the slave and maid!" Qiu Lin said, "The princess does not have to be discouraged, she just needs to wait for the opportunity." ”

Qiu Lin's words made the princess's heart feel a lot more relaxed, but she didn't have so much expectations for the future, mainly because she was sandwiched between the prince and Yun Guifei over the years, so she was physically and mentally exhausted, and now, her status has plummeted, and in the eyes of Yun Guifei, she is nothing, she shouldn't be persecuting herself, right?

"Good or bad, you can do it. The princess sighed faintly and smiled bitterly, "But I still can't let go of this resentment against the prince." I resented him so much, why did he marry me in the first place?"

In one night, the situation in the palace changed dramatically. Of course, only a few people know what happened, and most people only know that the princess has lost power. The second lady has made a comeback, and the third lady is not the one who was left out in the cold.

However, looking at this limelight, the momentum of the second lady is not something that other ladies can match, only Concubine Su can fight against her, but Concubine Su's temperament is too Buddhist, and the second lady in the palace will have the final say in the future.

For a while, the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, and for a while, the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, and this blow was blowing back and forth, but the second lady still won. However, the third lady who was involved became a complete victim.

Six days passed in a flash, and what to do with the princess did not come down, except for the princess being grounded and the palace, other treatments were very similar to the past.

It's another heavy snowfall, and here in the Wind Lotus Garden, it is decorated with this snow, which is even more chic. It's not that other places are festive because of the New Year, this place is always deserted, just like her master, in the Qi Wang's Mansion, as if it doesn't belong to this place.

"Good tea. Mo Ziyu took a sip of hot tea, the tea was fragrant, and his lips and teeth were fragrant, "This tea is the previous tea, but the taste seems to be a little different." ”

"I got a tea book and changed the way I boiled tea, so the taste was a little different from before, and I felt more mellow. Concubine Su said lightly, "If you like it, you can come and talk to me from time to time, and I'll cook it for you." ”

"In that case, you're welcome. Mo Ziyu smiled lightly, "I will definitely bother you from time to time in the future." ”

She put down the teacup, dropped a piece on the chessboard, glanced at her surroundings again, and said, "You are still quiet here, as if you will never be disturbed by the outside world." ”

"In fact, this is just a way for me to deceive myself. Concubine Su also followed, "I'm just a mortal, who in this world can really not be affected by things outside?"

"Does the princess still have a chance?" Mo Ziyu asked after thinking about the white chess pieces in his hand.

"Whether the princess has a chance or not depends on whether the prince is willing to give her this opportunity. Concubine Su said, "What does the prince say, he is both affectionate and ruthless. The woman he cares about, the woman he cares about, he will do everything he can to protect it. If it is an ordinary woman, it depends on their own lives. The prince is soft-hearted and hard-hearted, he may not want to live up to the people around him, but the reality makes him have to make some choices. ”

"The second lady has a chance, because she has a tough mother's family, as long as the second lady is alive, she will have a day to turn over. Concubine Su said, "But the princess is different, she doesn't have a strong maiden family, and she doesn't have a father and brother who have a smooth career, so she must always be cautious, and she can't let people hold the handle, or be patient all the time." She didn't hold back, she made a move, since she made a move, she must be sure of victory, but she failed, her situation can't tolerate her failure, even if the prince is willing to protect it, how can she protect it?"

She raised her eyes to look at Mo Ziyu and continued: "Get up and the situation of the princess, you and I may not encounter it in the future. We have no one behind us, only on our own, either we must be cautious, or we will win, and if we make a careless mistake, we will never recover. ”

Mo Ziyu also nodded: "The second lady should also take this opportunity to step on the princess completely." ”

She sighed and said, "Don't talk about her, tomorrow'er is the Lantern Festival, and the prince will be lively when she waits, let's go out for a walk." ”

He knows how to be playful, and these days he finally took advantage of Mr. Li's return to his hometown to visit relatives, and when he had a few days off, he was tinkering with a kite, wanting to fly into the sky, and he really didn't know how to have these strange ideas. Concubine Su said, but there was not much reproach in her expression, full of love, "Ming'er will wait, he has been talking for several days, you go out with him, I can rest assured." You watch him more tomorrow and don't let him get into trouble. ”

"Aren't you going? Mo Ziyu said, "Let's go together, it's also lively." ”

Concubine Su thought about it and nodded in response.

Inside the Tongzhi Hospital.

"Princess, look!" Qiu Lin carried a little rabbit lantern inside, "Is it pretty? ”

"It's so beautiful, but how do you think of making a lamp!"

"The princess forgot, it's the Lantern Festival on the face of Ming'er!"

"It's almost the Lantern Festival?" the princess's face was stunned for a moment, "Time flies so fast!"

While waiting for the result of being punished, the princess really felt as if there was a knife hanging above her head, which was very tormenting. Although it is said that the days are like years, she still expects Zhao Xu to come over in her heart, waiting and waiting, and feels that time flies quickly.

"Although we can't go out, we can still spend this festival by ourselves!" Qiu Lin smiled slightly, "No matter when, we can't get frustrated first." ”

"It's up to you how you want to live. The princess smiled, although the courtyard of Tongzhi is now full of gloomy clouds, but with her, there is a little more smell of fireworks, maybe because she just came to the palace, after all, I don't know that this deep mansion compound is still a place to eat people.

As he was talking, a maid outside reported: "Princess, the prince is here." As he spoke, there was a worry in his expression that could not be concealed.

"Lord Wang?" the princess's eyes wrinkled, "He's here?"

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly got up and prepared to go out, but in an instant, she sighed bitterly, lost her brilliance, and sat back in place.

After a while, Zhao Xu entered, dressed in black, with a somewhat serious expression.

"The concubine has seen the prince. The princess stood up and saluted, looking a little listless.

"Flatten. Liu Xu went straight over and sat down, "Everyone else, go out." ”

"Yes. The men all withdrew.

The princess didn't let Liu Xu make a pot of hot tea, but just walked up to Liu Xu and stood: "What does the prince plan to do with the concubine?"

Liu Xu raised his eyes to look at her, was silent for a moment, and asked, "What do you think will happen?"

"Actually, no matter what the prince wants to do with the concubine, it doesn't matter. The princess said, "Even if the prince wants to let go of the concubine, the second lady, the third lady, and the Yang family behind him will not allow it." Therefore, the prince doesn't have to worry about anything, the concubine has thought a lot about this matter, whether the concubine is wrong, the concubine is willing to bear the consequences, and it doesn't matter if she kills or is a prisoner. ”

The princess didn't look at Liu Xu when she spoke, but stared at Liu Xu's boots, which were a pair of brand-new Dengyun boots, she planned to make a pair of boots for the prince last year, but she was delayed by things halfway through, and she didn't finish it until now.

She thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, the concubine has made you a pair of boots, and there are still a few days of hard work, so can the prince wear them once?"

Liu Xu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect her to talk about this matter at this time.

"Leave it to the people of Xiufang, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself. Liu Xu said.

"Concubine, I just want to do something for the prince. The princess said, "The princess will fulfill the heart of the concubine." ”

"Hmm. Liu Xu nodded.

A faint smile finally appeared on the princess's face, and she said, "The prince can also say what to do with the concubine!"

"This king will play the father and the queen mother, and in the name of your childlessness, you have degraded the name of the princess, but you can still live in the palace in the name of your wife, but you will not be allowed to leave the Tongzhi Courtyard in the future. Liu Xu said.

"Thank you for saving some face for the concubine. The princess smiled bitterly, "The concubine has just said that no matter what the result, the concubine will be willing to accept it." This result is also quite good. ”

"Hmm. Liu Xu nodded, "This king once told you, no matter what, this king will forgive you once." Since you are married to the Qi Palace, the Qi Palaces will always have your place. ”

The princess sighed, walked to the side and sat down, tilted her head to look at Liu Xu, and asked, "The prince has always been a gentle person, the concubine body doesn't understand, why is the prince so alienated from the concubine?"

"Do you really not understand?" Liu Xu raised his eyes to look at the princess, and said lightly, "From the beginning when you and Yun Guifei got very close, from the beginning when you helped her install the inner palace little by little." ”

The princess's eyes suddenly widened, she looked at Liu Xu in surprise, and asked with trembling lips, "Does the prince know everything?"
