117, kicked far away
Mrs. Ji San was angry in her heart, and she wanted to kill the third princess to smash the third princess, who had a bad idea, but she had to listen to Gu Nian's words.
But when she thought of Ji Zhu'er's bloody appearance, she didn't want to let go of the third princess so easily.
The palace people in the palace saw that the queen mother was overwhelmed, so they hugged the queen mother's side, and there were only a few left around the third princess, and Mrs. Ji San took advantage of the time when they helped the third princess tidy up, broke free of Gu Nian's hand, pounced on the third princess, and did not hit her, but scratched her face, and in an instant, the third princess's face was scratched with a few blood marks.
For a while, only the mournful cry of the third princess was left in Yongfu Palace, "My face...... My face...... It hurts. ”
Gu Nian didn't expect Mrs. Ji San to pounce on her, seeing that the third princess's face and neck were scratched, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Ji San, "It's enough." If you go down any further, you'll ignore it. ”
When Mrs. Ji San came back to her senses, she was also shocked, and said to Gu Nian in a panic, "Will I die like this?" If I die, will you be able to take care of my family Zhu'er? ”
She probably felt that she was wrong, afraid that Gu Nian would think that the care she said was to go to the Jin Palace's mansion to be a concubine, so she waved her hand in a panic and said, "The care I said is not to let her be a concubine,"
"Her marriage has been almost said, if the family is not afraid that Zhu'er will offend the emperor, and still wants to marry, please ask the princess to be the next family member and marry Zhu'er."
As she spoke, Mrs. Ji San burst into tears. The family she told Zhu'er is also the son of an ordinary petty official, she doesn't want her daughter to enjoy the wealth and wealth, as long as her daughter is safe, happy, and happy with her husband and Shunshun for the rest of her life.
Gu Nian looked at Mrs. Ji San who was languishing with a smile, and only felt that she was really taking it for granted, she said, "Why didn't you think about this when you just went up to beat people, aren't you afraid that I will give Miss Ji to the prince as a concubine?" Anyway, if Miss Ji doesn't do it, there may be others in the future, so it is better to let Miss Ji occupy the position. ”
Mrs. Ji San's face changed greatly, but when she looked up, she saw a smile on Gu Nian's face.
Gu Nian stepped forward and took her hand, "Let's go, it's a mess here." ”
Seeing that the room was still in chaos, Mrs. Ji San followed Gu Nian out of the Yongfu Palace without touching the ground, and kept saying, "It doesn't matter, right?" ”
"What are you afraid of? There is me and the prince. Besides, let's take care of it. Gu Nian said.
I didn't take two steps when I saw the emperor's guard of honor in front of me coming over this way.
She pulled Mrs. Ji San to the side, and after a while, the emperor came over with a meager anger, followed by Xiao Yue, the prince, and Father-in-law Yu and others with a leisurely face.
Gu Nian hurriedly knelt down to salute the emperor, and Mrs. Ji San also knelt down, she only felt that it was worth it even if she died today.
Master Ji San is only a Liupintang official, although she can also enter the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but it is at the end of the list, don't say that you can see the face of the sky, the sky is cold, and it is already good if you don't freeze to death.
But today, she not only met the queen mother, but also beat the princess, and more importantly, saw the emperor's dragon face.
She knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, and it took a long time to hear the emperor's majestic voice, "Get up." ”
Gu Nian got up, and after Mrs. Ji San got up, she stood behind Gu Nian with her hands down.
"You just came out of the Queen Mother's palace? How did you hear that there was a mess in Yongfu Palace? Emperor Yongping asked.
Gu Nian glanced at Xiao Yue and saw that he nodded slightly, so he said vaguely, "Something is wrong." ”
Emperor Yongping said 'um', "Don't go yet, go with me and have a look, don't be afraid, I will make decisions for you." ”
Xiao Yue was originally standing behind Emperor Yongping, after the emperor left, he stood in place, beckoning to Gu Nian, and when Gu Nian stepped forward, he wanted to hold her hand, but was glared at by Gu Nian.
After all, this is in the palace, the emperor, and the crown prince are still ahead, so it's a bit unusual, right?
When she returned to Yongfu Palace again, the third princess was covering her face and crying, and the queen mother had also been helped up, tidying up her manners, and heard the eunuch's report, 'The emperor has arrived. ''The prince has arrived'.
The third princess covered her face and rushed to the emperor, "Father, you must be the master of your sons." ”
Her face was full of tears, although she covered her face with her hands, but the tears slid down, rolling the blood from the wound down, forming marks on her face, and the hair bun was scattered, which actually startled the emperor.
When he saw that it was the third princess, he asked in surprise, "Xin'er, why are you injured like this, have you called the imperial doctor?" ”
When the third princess saw Gu Nian standing beside Xiao Yue, she only felt a wave of anger rampaging through her chest, and her hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist.
She is the daughter of the royal family, but in the end she can't get the person she wants, and she has to give it to others, what is the reason.
She was unconvinced and unwilling.
In terms of family background, appearance, and talent, which one can't compare to Gu Nian, why would Xiao Yue rather marry her than himself.
She lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes covered the surging emotions under her eyes, and when she raised her eyes again, she pointed at Gu Nian and said, "Father, you must be the master of your sons, they are all princesses of Jin, and she led people to hurt her sons like this." ”
"Moreover, the imperial grandmother was also injured."
The emperor was shocked, hurriedly crossed the third princess, looked at the queen mother of the head, saw that her face was not very good, and stepped forward with concern, and said, "Queen Mother, are you okay?" ”
Empress Dowager Zhang has been immersed in the palace for many years, how can she underestimate it, she held her forehead and said weakly, "Emperor, the mourning family should move to the royal temple to live." ”
"In this palace, I don't know how to suffer next time."
"The mourning family has never suffered such a sin when they were palace concubines before, and when they come, their son is the emperor, and they have to suffer so many sins."
Empress Dowager Zhang sighed, Emperor Yongping just smiled, the Empress Dowager's words really contained countless temptations in her heart.
On the way here, Emperor Yongping had actually heard a report about what had just happened in the Yongfu Palace, he thought for a moment and said with a smile,
"What did the Queen Mother say? What's going on? How can I let you be wronged, what's going on with this hospital? Why hasn't any of the doctors come yet? This one and both are injured, why is it so slow? ”
Emperor Yongping said two innocuous words, and then turned the conversation to the imperial doctor.
While talking, a imperial doctor hurriedly came in, and Emperor Yongping asked them to quickly check the pulse of the queen mother and the third princess and see the injury.
After the doctor diagnosed and treated for a while, the queen mother was just angry, as long as she ate some prescriptions to clear her heart, it was enough, and the third princess's injury was a little bad.
I don't know how Mrs. Ji scratched it, the third princess's injury is more serious, and when the injury is healed, it will leave obvious scars.
When the third princess heard that she would have a scar, she suddenly didn't even know how to cry.
When Mrs. Ji heard that the imperial doctor said that the third princess would have a scar, her legs suddenly became frightened, and she knelt down, and the Empress Dowager Zhang said with a stiff face, "The third wife of Ji Fu was disobedient and beat the royal princess, Your Majesty, what do you say should be done?" ”
Mrs. Ji San didn't even dare to beg for mercy at the moment, and the prince stepped forward and said,
"Imperial grandmother, according to the law, it is not an exaggeration for Mrs. Ji San to sentence the capital like this, but in the end, Mrs. Ji San is excusable."
The implication is that if the third princess hadn't pleaded with the queen mother to give Ji Zhu'er to Xiao Yue as a side concubine, there would have been no such a thing.
The third princess looked at the prince with teary eyes, "Brother prince, who is your sister?" Feelings we are not born by a mother, you treat your sister like this? ”
Emperor Yongping suddenly sank his face, "Xin'er, it seems that my love is so lawless that you are lawless, a princess of a country, what do you say like a woman in the market, what about your rules and etiquette?" ”
"I didn't want to deal with you, but now I can't ask it, why do you care about your brother's backyard as a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, is this something you should care about?"
"Father-in-law Yu, all the people around Xin'er have been replaced, so many people who serve, why can't any of them admonish their master?"
The third princess was very aggrieved, obviously Gu Nian was not good, she brought someone into the palace and injured her like this, Gu Nian didn't say it, the ninth brother is the favorite of his father, he loves the house and Wu, and his father will not punish her much, but what about Mrs. Ji? This slut, the father does not punish her.
Instead, he had to change the people he served around him.
The third princess gritted her teeth, pushed away the palace maid who helped her with the medicine, stumbled out, and drank back from the palace maid who wanted to keep up, "Get out." ”
"Princess." The palace maids looked at her tremblingly, and the three princesses' originally beautiful faces looked extremely hideous at the moment because of the bloodstains, coupled with anger and distortion.
"Whoever dares to come up, Princess Ben will kill her." One sentence frightened everyone to freeze in place, and they knew that what the third princess said was not a joke.
The scorching sun was in the sky outside, and the heart of the third princess was also burning at the moment, wishing that there would be a storm to extinguish the evil fire in her heart.
Since she was a child, there is nothing she can't get, except Xiao Yue, only him, she works so hard, but she still can't get him.
Why!
The third princess hated it very much, hated Xiao Yue for being ruthless and unrighteous, and even more hated herself for being willing to fall, and the person who wanted to marry her was like a carp crossing the river, but she was planted on a man who didn't love her, and she was reluctant to let go.
The third princess's whimpering cry floated, and it was half loud before the crying stopped, she stood up and wiped her tears vigorously, and as the tears were wiped away, there was still fragility.
She stood up slowly, slowly and neatly dressed, since she couldn't forget it, if she couldn't get it, she would destroy it.
In Yongfu Palace, the emperor was talking to the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Ji San knelt on the ground, "Queen Mother, I know that you are a good person for Xiao Jiu's good, but in the end, you have done bad things with good intentions, if you summoned Mrs. Ji in to ask, it will not be like this." ”
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, although it is said that the people of the world are also the children of the queen mother, but there is no reason for one daughter to marry twice, right?"
"Since Miss Ji has already had a marriage contract, and there was such a scene at the palace gate, now there are rumors everywhere inside and outside the palace gate that Miss Ji is a chaste martyr, and in order to protect her name, the palace gate committed suicide."
"This is no longer a trivial matter, I can't suppress it even if I want to, just on the way to Yongfu Palace, how many officials have been impeached, I ......"
Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly felt that a basin of cold water had poured through her heart, and Empress Dowager Zhang was extremely disappointed, she waved her hand indiscriminately, covered her chest with her hand, and said that her heart hurt.
Emperor Yongping took pity on the Empress Dowager Zhang and reprimanded Mrs. Ji San, saying that she had no one in her eyes, and she was disobedient, so she asked her to reflect on herself at home, and at the same time prayed for the Queen Mother and the third princess.
Don't say three hundred times, it's a thousand times, Mrs. Ji San will copy it, you don't need to kill your head if you copy it, and your daughter doesn't have to be a concubine, you have to copy it!
When Gu Nian and Xiao Yue left, it was already a little dark, and both of them felt a little tired after tossing this day.
Xiao Yue held Gu Nian's hand, and the two did not take a sedan chair, but walked slowly on the palace road.
In the night in the distance, the lights and shadows were full of shadows, and the big red lanterns hanging on the palace wall were dimly lit, flashing with ambiguous orange-red light, sprinkled on the girl who slowly turned her head to stare at her.
The girl's face was veiled, adding to her an elusive beauty, embellished with eyes as bright as stars, as if they were about to melt people's hearts.
Such a night, such a scene, inexplicably arouses a wisp of indescribable feelings in people's hearts, and it is easy for men to be moved by this.
Sometimes men's hearts are as simple as that, men are mostly visual animals, in a specific period, a specific scene, a specific scene, suddenly their hearts are moved.
But for Xiao Yue, he is not a normal man.
Today's day is simply a disaster, first heard such a scene in the palace, and then Ji Zhu'er committed suicide, although Ji Zhu'er's matter was within his expectations, but in the end, he still felt tired.
Moreover, the woman on the tip of his heart was by his side at the moment, and her soft little hand was still in his hand. For the woman standing on the palace road and staring over, she felt that it was particularly an eyesore, and at the same time felt that a good dog was not in the way.
Although the prince of Jin has changed after marriage, his most advocating solution is still simple and rude, in the palace, killing people is not very good, then it can only be kicked.
He looked at Gu Nian soothingly, covered her eyes with his hand gently, and said softly, "Good, don't look, don't be afraid." ”
So, when the maiden Lianbu moved lightly in front of him, and he tried to make a move, the maiden spoke.
“…… Brother Jiu, it's clear that I was the one who touched you first......"
"Why, if you don't marry me, what's wrong with me......"
"In the past, I couldn't marry you, but now I'm broken, as long as you don't dislike it...... I don't ......"
Then, with a 'plop' and "ah", a figure fell in an arc to the base of the wall in the distance.
The people on the side, including Gu Nian, were stunned by Xiao Yue's crisp and neat kicking movements.
Xiao Yue casually looked at the third princess who was kicking to the ground and struggling to stand up, threw off the shoe that kicked the person, and coldly said to the dark behind her, "It's burned." ”
Gu Niangang wanted to say something, but saw Xiao Yue 'shh ”
Gu Nian glanced at him, saw the third princess struggling at the base of the wall, and whispered to the attendant who was already stunned on the side, "Why don't you bring the princess back?" It's called the Imperial Doctor. ”
Although Gu Nian was a little disgusted with the third princess in her heart, the words that the third princess said just now were heard clearly by the people present, as long as people with a little brain, they could hear the meaning of her words, the princess of a country was willing to commit to being a concubine.
The people serving around the third princess have just been replaced, and a few of the more daring ones have already circled around the third princess, while the others have moved their eyes to the man who seems to be calm, but is actually fierce.
They really want to save people, but they don't dare, the name of King Jin is not for fun.
However, fortunately, King Jin didn't say anything at this time, but acquiesced in the practice of those palace attendants, and asked them to carry the third princess who had already weakened her body back.
Cheng Guifei in Chaohui Palace heard that the third princess was kicked away by Xiao Yue, she was shocked and angry, and asked the third princess to be placed in the side hall of Chaohui Palace, her face was full of ruthlessness.
This is simply murder.
After Emperor Yongping received the news, he drove to Zhaohui Palace, and after Cheng Guifei gave the emperor a salute, Emperor Yongping asked her to be flat, but she didn't, but grabbed the corner of Emperor Yongping's dragon robe.
"Your Majesty, how can you say that Xin'er is a princess, Xiao Jiu hurt Xin'er like this, how can Xin'er marry in the future?"
Emperor Yongping saw that Cheng Guifei couldn't afford it, his face was gloomy, he lifted the corners of his robe, and sat on the couch.
The third princess was kicked by Xiao Yue like that, vomited a mouthful of blood, and the imperial doctor pricked her with a needle, so she woke up and turned around, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Cheng Guifei with red and swollen eyelids, and Emperor Yongping with a blue face, as if splashed with ink.
She shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "Father, mother...... Child......"
Emperor Yongping, who had a blue face, stared at the third princess coldly, for most of his life, he had never been so embarrassed, and the princess of a country actually said that she was going to be a concubine.
He pointed to the third princess, "You are really good, you princess, the royal face is really embarrassing for you." ”
The third princess knew that what she said was probably known by Emperor Yongping, she rolled out of bed, fell to her knees, her body covered with fine sweat, and her mind was blank.
Emperor Yongping said coldly, "Say, what is in your head?" ”
The third princess faced Emperor Yongping's cold face, and suddenly calmed down, she didn't cry or beg, looking at Emperor Yongping's eyes only unwillingly.
When Emperor Yongping saw her like this, he knew that she didn't realize her mistake at all, and he said angrily,
"You are now nineteen years old, you don't want to get married, I will keep you for a few more years, although you are a royal princess, you don't have to serve your in-laws, but in the end, you are married, it is better to be a daughter's family happy."
"Anyway, royal princess, I'm not afraid that no one will ask to marry, but what about you? It turned out to be such a dirty heart. ”
"I didn't see that you were so infatuated that you made such a shameless and embarrassing look, since you don't repent, you go to the royal temple to reflect, and then come out when you understand."
When Cheng Guifei heard this, she knelt in front of the emperor and cried, "Your Majesty, please spare Xin'er this time, you also said that she is now nineteen, and she will be locked up in the temple again, but it will be past the period of flower letters, what can I do when the time comes?" ”
Now is the right age, I really have to be locked up for a few years, but it's an old girl, unlike the eldest princess, the eldest princess is a dead horse, so she is alone, you can't call the third princess a man yet, just die alone, right?
The third princess said, "I just want to marry someone I like, is this too much to ask?" I am a princess, the daughter of my father, my father sits on the four seas, and the world is mighty, why can't I even satisfy such a small wish as a daughter? ”
"Xiao Jiu is unwilling to marry you, can you force it?"
"You are like this, don't talk about Xiao Jiu, even in the future, no man will be willing to marry you."
"It's also strange to me, knowing that your mother loves you too much, and still don't stop you, and cultivate your unscrupulous temperament now, you must know that even I can't do whatever I want."
"In this history, whoever does whatever he wants can only bring about his own destruction. Even the emperor is no exception. ”
Emperor Yongping's words were a bit serious, "Your fourth brother, he is the prince, he has done something wrong, and he also has to think about it behind closed doors in the palace, don't think that as a princess, you can act arbitrarily, you are wrong, very wrong." ”
"If you are like this, if you don't talk about others, I won't tolerate you."
He had promised that he would be kind to the royal people, his sons, and his daughters, but that was also if they did not make a mistake.
His woman, he won't want it, his friend's wife can't be bullied, for so many years, he hasn't had a draft, and he looks like a pampered concubine, but he never takes a step beyond Lei Chi.
He promised to continue these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and he did not allow anyone to threaten this imperial power, this country.
Emperor Yongping's gaze moved to the face of the third princess, and he did not allow anyone to destroy Yue'er's reputation.
Emperor Yongping's gaze made the third princess shudder, and she only listened to Emperor Yongping's cold words, "You don't have to recuperate in the palace, I sent the imperial doctor to accompany you, you will go to the imperial temple immediately, when you figure it out, send someone to tell me, I will let you out." ”
"If you don't practice well, then the next place you will go to is the Imperial Mausoleum, you know me, and you will do what you say."
Cheng Guifei was at the feet of Emperor Yongping, and she wanted to beg, but Emperor Yongping flicked her sleeves and said, "Shut up, I know that you love your daughter very much, but your love like this only hurts her." ”
"You think you're defending her, you're loving her, you're hurting her! You are the only person who she is like this. ”
Cheng Guifei's face was full of blood, and she almost fainted, "Your Majesty, even if Xin'er has a thousand mistakes, after all, she is your own flesh and blood, how can you bear to watch her suffer like that?" Will you spare her? ”
"The concubine will definitely look at her this time, don't let her mess around, she is still young and ignorant, so she will say something like that, after this time, she will definitely not dare to ...... again"
Emperor Yongping's face was pale, and his muscles were exposed, "If I don't ...... Without...... I have already imprisoned her in the imperial mausoleum, is she embarrassed to stay in this palace? I'm afraid that now, the news that she is willing to be a concubine has spread throughout the palace......"
Cheng Guifei half-opened her mouth, she had never seen such a Yongping Emperor, she fell to the ground, trembling.
Gu Nian learned a few days later that the third princess was not well injured, so she was sent to the royal temple by the emperor, and I heard that the place where the third princess was injured by Mrs. Ji San was really not better, and it would leave obvious scars in the future, and she was kicked by Xiao Yue, her whole body collapsed, her body was very weak, and she coughed from time to time, and sometimes even coughed up blood.
Gu Nian was very puzzled about the scar left by the third princess, it stands to reason that even if she was scratched, although the imperial doctor was a little late, it could be regarded as timely treatment...... Why do you have scars?
She told Xiao Yue this question, but she didn't expect him to frown and say, "If you want to say that disgusting person, the scar on his neck is already on the face of the emperor's uncle, or it will be a s......car on his face."
Kicked the third princess that day, Xiao Yue stepped on the white socks and came out of the palace, and when he came back, he burned the other shoe, even the pair of socks were burned, not only that, but also soaked in three basins of water, and finally the skin was rubbed red, and Gu Nian couldn't stand it, so he gave up.
It's just that he can't hear the words of the third princess anymore, as if it is a great insult to him.
After a long time, Gu Nian knew in Zhang Chunzi's mouth that on that day, Xiao Yue asked him to inadvertently sprinkle medicinal powder on Mrs. Ji San's paws......
Sure enough, it will be rewarded.
The queen mother in Yongfu Palace heard about the third princess, but she didn't say anything, and then the news of the queen mother's illness came out, and at the same time, Ji Zhu'er's suicide at the palace gate also spread quickly.
The queen mother was arbitrary, and gave the girl who was married and had children to the king of Jin as a side concubine, and the girl was a chaste martyr who refused to obey, so she committed suicide at the palace gate.
The folk rumors were boiling, and the court also paid attention to this time, and did not treat this matter as a trivial matter.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were the first to fold the fold, praised Ji Zhu'er's behavior, and proposed that the imperial court should issue a plaque to Ji Zhu'er.
However, there are also remnants of the British Duke and the Queen Mother, who refuted the Ministry of Rites, "Ji's daughter should be praised for such an act? This is clearly a disrespectful remark, which made the Queen Mother fall ill and commit suicide in fear of sin. ”
"If such behavior is to be commended, then in the future, the court will be in chaos, everyone can refute the emperor and make the queen mother angry, so what kind of system is there?"
"Why is the Ji girl so disrespectful?" The official of the Ministry of Rites asked.
The official moved his lips and couldn't speak, the daughter of the Ji family saw that the Queen Mother was to resign from the marriage, not deliberately, and she was specially angry with the Queen Mother.
He could only say, "The lower official didn't hear it with his own ears and didn't dare to assert it, but she was a woman who committed suicide at the gate of the palace and didn't respect the will of the court, where is the dignity of the court?" ”
The official of the Ministry of Rites replied, "If the dignity of the imperial court is to be maintained by taking away the marriage of people, then this dignity should not be maintained." ”
The words of the Ministry of Rites officials can be said to be very heavy, but the emperor did not reprimand, just listened and watched from above.
In the end, he said leisurely, "Just now there were many Aiqing who said that the behavior of the Ji family girl is not chaste, I understand it, since this is the case, then I will also make a will, if the young masters of the Aiqing family who have married have cousins, I can also give them to your son as concubines." ”
"Not only that, but I can also give them orders, and if the girls also commit suicide, I will also give them a plaque. What do you think? ”
Emperor Yongping was not angry, nor did he reprimand, as if he was discussing with the ministers, his tone was gentle, his attitude was leisurely, he saw that there was a quiet place below, and said,
"Even if you are Aiqing's biological daughters, you can also do this, I think most of them should have cousins."
Although those officials were the queen mother's party and were not purged in the British public incident, they had to maintain the dignity of the queen mother.
In the court, in addition to these voices, there were no other discordant voices, and at the same time, the emperor also took advantage of this incident to find out the last connections behind the queen mother.
Originally, such a thing was about the face of the heavenly family, and the queen mother was decent, so it should be controlled in a small range, and it should not even be taken to the court at the beginning, and it was solved in private.
But under the indulgence of the emperor, under the promotion of Xiao Yue and Gu Shi'an, it became a matter in the court, and everyone knew about it.
After this incident, the Queen Mother's fake illness also became a real illness.
After Gu Nian returned from the palace, she grabbed Zhang Chunzi over, and she looked at Zhang Chunzi who was dressed as a sweeper in Suiyuantang with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, your parents gave birth to you to the wrong gender, right? Why do you love pretending to be a woman so much? ”
"The murder disaster that I didn't say last time is that the world will drop a knife today, and I have to tell the concubine about it."
