"Miss, something is wrong! Something is wrong! The maid Jindai hurried into the room.

Jiang Xuerou put down the step shake in her hand and said lightly: "If Your Highness goes to which beauty again, don't come to tell me." "She's used to it, or it doesn't matter.

Soon after Chu Fusheng returned, she married into the East Palace, and at the same time entered the East Palace, along with a Liangdi and two Liangyuan. The crown prince Wei Yuanhui really liked her, and after the ceremony, he picked a red hijab, drank a glass of wine, untied his clothes, and wanted to spend a good night together.

Maybe it's because he's inexperienced, maybe he's too anxious, or maybe she's resisting in her heart, anyway, it's over before it starts. After that, Wei Yuanhui tried many times, but the little brother was depressed, and all of them ended in failure. It is said that the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and for him, it is a broken copper and iron.

The next night, Wei Yuanhui wanted to continue trying, but Jiang Xuerou politely refused and asked him to go see Liangdi. After Wei Yuanhui went, the little brother raised his eyebrows and showed his majesty. In the next two days, he went to the two Liangyuan again, and also rode the wind and waves and went straight to the sea. However, when he returned to Jiang Xuerou, it was the same again.

Gradually, he spent less time in Jiang Xuerou's house, even if he liked her again, but not being able to raise his head in front of her was always a big deal, which seriously hurt his self-esteem as a man. So, he went to see her during the day, and also consulted with her about some court affairs, and sometimes accompanied her to dinner, and then went to the other concubines' rooms.

However, Jiang Xuerou did not fight or grab, and those concubines were restless, and they changed their tricks to keep the prince by their side, so Wei Yuanhui had less time to come. Fortunately, Wei Yuanhui still valued her very much, handed over all the power of the East Palace to her, and warned those concubines that there was a difference between wives and concubines, don't think about wrongdoing, and forget your duty.

Therefore, Jiang Xuerou's life in the East Palace was also quite nourishing. As for not being favored, it is exactly what she wants, so that she can be a generous and good wife, treat every concubine well, and handle affairs equally.

But the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, she doesn't care, her dowry maids are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they all wish that she could give birth to her eldest son immediately. Jin Dai is one of them, as Miss's personal maid, she pays special attention to the Prince's movements and broadcasts to Miss in real time.

"Miss, you can't ...... like this" She was about to explain, when she saw Jiang Xuerou glaring at her dissatisfied, she hurriedly changed her words, "You can't misunderstand the slave maid like this, the news brought by the slave maid this time has nothing to do with His Highness." In fact, she had come to talk about the crown prince, so while exculpating herself, she quickly thought about the major gossip she had heard recently.

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"Miss Hui, I heard that something big happened in the Chu State, the King of Chu died, and the new monarch succeeded to the throne, I don't know if the king will take the opportunity to send troops to attack the Chu State."

"Really?" Jiang Xuerou stood up, "You go and inquire clearly, when did this happen?" Who is the new king of Chu! After getting married, she also kept the rules that should be observed, and she would not step out of the East Palace if she had nothing to do, even the incense on the fifteenth day of the first month was changed from Xiangguo Temple to Fuguang Temple in the palace, and it was all up to the maid to find out the news.

"Yes, the slave is going to investigate!" Jin Dai hurriedly ran out.

"Miss, sit down and let the slave shake the hairpin for you." The maid said carefully.

Jiang Xuerou sat down, thinking about such a big event, why Wei Yuanhui didn't tell her. I don't know which prince became the king of Chu, but I hope he is not a ruthless person and can spare his life without fighting or grabbing.

Half an hour later, Jin Dai came back: "Miss Hui, this incident happened ten days ago, yesterday the envoys of the Chu State arrived in Yicheng, and they were received by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Got it, prepare food for me." This Wei Yuanhui really doesn't take himself seriously anymore, and he didn't mention anything about such a big thing in front of her.

"By the way, where did His Highness go yesterday?"

Jin Dai saw that the young lady finally got her senses and immediately replied: "After the prince and the envoys had dinner, they were intercepted by Zheng Liangyuan as soon as they returned to the East Palace. ”

"This dead fox!"

Jin Dai smiled and said: "Miss, you are the first beauty of Daliang, those fox spirits together are not as good as you, as long as you work a little harder, are you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not come?" ”

"Go, go, go! Hurry up and get ready! Jiang Xuerou waved her hand impatiently, she was just dissatisfied that Wei Yuanhui had something to hide from her. If Wei Yuanhui really wanted to stay here, he didn't feel embarrassed, and she felt uncomfortable.

"Miss!"

"Why are you back again, lunch?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince's personal attendant is here."

"Pass it on." Jiang Xuerou said lazily.

"Slave see the princess."

"What kind of wind blew Wu Neiguan here today?" She quipped.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a servant to invite you to the flower hall for a while." Wu Neiguan replied honestly.

"You go back to the prince, I'll be there soon." She doesn't like to embarrass people.

"The slave is one step ahead, and the mother doesn't want His Highness to wait for a long time."

"It's probably not good to call me at this time." When Jiang Xuerou muttered, Shen'er had already approved a shawl for her, and she hurriedly went to the flower hall after adding a phoenix hairpin.

"I don't know what His Highness has to explain when he summons his concubine?"

"Xue Rou," Wei Yuanhui stepped forward and took her hand, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Lord Zhang, the envoy of the Chu State." ”

"Zhang Yuanhuai, a native of Chu, has seen the crown princess."

"Lord Zhang is polite."

Wei Yuanhui pulled her to the couch and knelt down, and then explained: "Master Zhang said that he wanted to see you, so I called you." ”

"Crown princess, before the official left, our king repeatedly instructed that the crown princess had a great favor to him in the past, and he must be thanked by the official in person."

She chuckled in her heart, was she kind in the past? Don't...... On his face, he said quietly: "The King of Chu is polite, please thank the King of Chu for me after I go back." ”

"The king ordered the subordinate to bring a gift, and if you want the subordinate to hand it over to the crown princess, you must hand it over to the crown princess." Zhang Yuanhuai took out a brocade box.

Jiang Xuerou took the brocade box and opened it, saw a porcelain flute lying inside, closed it and said, "Then thank you King Chu." It's just that I don't know much about a woman, and I hope that His Royal Highness can help the concubine give back a gift to the King of Chu. ”

Wei Yuanhui said with a smile: "It seems that the King of Chu is also a person who likes music and rhythm, and there is a music score here, so I ask Lord Zhang to bring it back and give it back to the King of Chu." ”

"Thank you, Crown Princess. The task of the lower officer has been completed, and he will retire first. ”

"Lord Zhang, please, I will send someone to send the score to the post house after a while."

"I didn't expect Chu Fusheng to become the king of Chu." Jiang Xuerou understood that Wei Yuanhui had always been obsessed with her past dealings with Chu Fusheng, so she didn't tell her. If it hadn't been for the envoy's insistence on seeing her, he might have planned to hide it from her all along. She knew that this kind of thing usually became darker and darker, and she didn't need to explain, as long as she made a look of indifference, so she even handed over the matter of returning the gift to Wei Yuanhui.

"I thought he was going to die on the road, and I didn't want to let him go shit luck."

"It may be that if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, but let a cowardly person like Chu Fusheng become the king, I am afraid that this Chu country will not be peaceful in the future."

"Wouldn't it be better, let him be proud for a few days first, and then my Daliang will be able to level the Chu State without spending a single soldier."

"That's great!" Jiang Xuerou stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Your Highness has lunch, why don't you go to Xuerou's side to sit down?" ”

"Okay, I haven't been with you for a long time."

In the afternoon, Wei Yuanhui sent someone to send the porcelain flute that was forgotten in the flower hall, Jiang Xuerou didn't even look at it, so she put it on the side. After taking a lunch break and sending all the palace people away, she picked up the porcelain flute and rubbed it carefully.

He once said that there is a kind of dolomite in the state of Chu, which is best made into porcelain, and if he has the opportunity, he will personally help her fire a porcelain flute. This porcelain flute is far less delicate than those tributes, and it stands to reason that it will not be used as a gift for diplomatic relations, so there is only one possibility, that is, he made it himself, and it can be vaguely seen through the patterns on it that it is from his handwriting.

"Fusheng, you don't yearn for the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, how can you become the king of Chu?" She couldn't help but be a little worried, King Chu had many sons, none of them were good stubble, would he be taken advantage of. After thinking about it, I felt that I was too worried, although he was indifferent to fame and fortune, he was also a transparent person, and he should be able to protect himself.

"Miss, the envoy of the State of Chu has already left Yicheng and returned to China this morning." Jin Dai spoke with great interest about the news from all over the place.

"In the future, don't tell me anything related to the Chu State again." What can I do if I know it, but it only adds to my worries, but it is better to turn a deaf ear and just think that he is doing well.

Flowers bloom in spring, lush leaves in summer, autumn wind sweeps leaves, and winter snow is a good year. Before she knew it, she had been the crown princess for three years.

In recent days, she has been in a state of panic and anxiety, always feeling that something big is going to happen. Wei Yuanhui goes out early and returns late every day, no longer goes to the concubine's side, and does not talk to her. In desperation, she summoned her father, Jiang Taiwei.

Jiang Taiwei stroked his beard and said, "Crown Princess, is there something wrong between you and the crown prince?" ”

"Why did my father say that?"

"Otherwise, how could the crown princess not know about such a big event?"

"Father, what happened?"

"The state of Chu united the six kingdoms of Han, Wei, Chen, Song, Zhou, and Jin to attack our Great Liang from all directions, and our Great Liang army could only defend it to the death, without the power to fight back."

"What! Wei Yuanhui didn't tell me about such a big thing! ”

"Crown princess, don't be rude!"

"How can he lose a big deal because of a small one? Did the king send his ministers to lobby? ”

"All countries have sent it, but the effect is not good, and I don't know what attractive conditions Chu State has given."

"Father, let Cheryl go!"

"Nonsense! How can the crown princess be a lobbyist, where do you put the prince's face? Besides, it's not up to you and me to do it! ”

"My daughter understands, when His Royal Highness comes back, my daughter will definitely admonish her."

She sat in the study and waited for Wei Yuanhui to come back, and after Wei Yuanhui knew her intention, he sneered: "Your old man is so capable, are you very proud?" You go to lobby, how to say, tell him about the gift of Zhou Gong? ”

"You ......," she was speechless.

"That's right, if I send you to the King of Chu and ask him to withdraw from the army, he should agree. It's just that you let me, the prince of Daliang, let me put my face on it! ”
