Chapter 182: Between Trade-offs
Concubine Lan's heart tightened, and she always felt that today's Concubine Shu was different from the past, and she seemed to know something in her words, so she dared to be so presumptuous to herself.
Tong scolded him lightly: "Concubine Shu, don't talk nonsense." ”
Such a soft admonition Concubine Shu naturally didn't take it seriously, but said to the Tong family very aggrievedly: "Queen Mother, this can't be blamed on the concubine." Concubine Lan stopped like this, and would rather spill the decoction to live up to King Jian's filial piety than dare to let the emperor take the medicine, as if she was afraid that this divine herb would poison the emperor. ”
She rolled her gaze and shot at Lan Guifei like a sharp sword.
"Guifei Niangniang's move, is she afraid that King Jian will poison the decoction? Or are you afraid that there is a problem with the essence and blood of His Royal Highness King Jian? ”
This statement can be described as unceremonious, Lan Guifei gasped, her heart was full of anger, she supported herself like the end of a strong crossbow, pointed at Concubine Shu and scolded: "Concubine Shu, you are presumptuous!" ”
Emperor Yuanhe's voice sounded, and he glanced at Concubine Shu lightly, but that gaze made Concubine Shu shrink.
"Concubine Shu, don't want to talk nonsense to annoy the concubine, and don't make amends to the concubine quickly."
Even if Concubine Shu was unconvinced, she didn't dare to openly resist the order, so she had to reluctantly say: "Concubine Niangniang forgives, you also know that my sister has always been so open-mouthed, so my sister shouldn't worry about me." ”
Concubine Lan was very angry, but before the word "you" came out, Emperor Yuan He had already spoken: "Okay, what kind of system is it to make noise in front of the juniors." ”
Concubine Lan is weak in the end, so she just takes advantage of the situation. If this was in the past, the little Concubine Shu she had never seen in her eyes treat her like this, and Concubine Lan would definitely not give up easily.
The two have been fighting for so many years, Concubine Shu naturally knows her temperament, and when she sees this, her eyes are fluttering, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.
Perhaps in the eyes of Emperor Yuan He, this is just a jealousy between concubines, making something out of nothing. But Concubine Shu's words were like thunder in Ji Sihong's ears, making him unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
knew that he shouldn't believe Concubine Shu's sowing discord, but the unreasonable and forceful obstruction of the concubine made him feel like he had been pierced in a thorn in his heart.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the King of Jian?"
De'an's voice suddenly woke up Ji Sihong, Ji Sihong raised his head to meet his father's deep gaze, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to hide, as if his thoughts and thoughts were all at a glance.
Emperor Yuanhe said: "Your filial piety has been understood, and I know what you think in your heart." At this moment, there are only you and my father and son in the hall, and you give me a word. Marrying the princess of Mingzhu as a concubine is really your heart's wish? ”
Ji Sihong couldn't react for a while, and when he was still worried, Emperor Yuan He said again: "If you really want to marry Yue Yao, you will deal with the Song family's funeral affairs when you go back, and Hugh will mention the matter of being buried with the rites of the concubine."
But if this is just your mother's meaning, and you don't have this intention, I will answer you, and you will not mention the matter of marrying Yueyao again. How is it? ”
How is it?
Ji Sihong's mind was a mess, and countless chaotic thoughts came one after another, the scolding and scolding of the concubine and the sorrow and resentment of the Song family. Finally, he closed his eyes and said in a dumb voice, "Erchen, I understand." ”
Liu Zongzhan waited at the door tremblingly, and finally waited for the master to come out, but his expression was gloomy, and he asked cautiously: "The emperor specially left the master inside, but what did he say?" ”
Ji Sihong was silent for a moment, and finally muttered, I don't know who he was talking to.
"That's it, it's just mourning after death, and it's useless. If she has a spirit in the sky, she must also hope that this king can rise to prominence...... I'm sorry for you in the end. ”
It was about the mercy of the heavenly father, and the palace was plain white, and it was gloomy for many days.
Although it is rare to see a few days of good sunshine in Japan in winter, the sky is indeed gloomy and tight, and the sky is overcast and hazy, as if the sediment is depressed in people's hearts, and it will collapse at any time.
Bai Yanran put down the book in her hand, and pressed her eyebrows as if she was a little sad. Zhu Ling stepped forward to add tea, and inadvertently glanced at it, just saw the content on it, and then lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.
It is a miscellaneous book that circulates in the market, and this page just talks about the negative man who enters the family, and after his parents-in-law go, he divorces his wife and occupies the family property with the fault of seven out of seven children, but instead marries the girl in the house and gives birth to two sons in a row.
Unexpectedly, before she died, she learned that the two sons born to the girl were not of her own blood, so she broke off the incense and ended up with hatred, which can be described as the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution was unpleasant. But the original wife has died of despair, which really makes people look depressed.
Su Xin opened the curtain and came in, holding a cup of pigeon soup in her hand, put it on the table and scooped a bowl out, and said: "This is specially sent by Mrs. to make up for Miss, Miss use some." ”
Bai Yanran stirred the crispy pigeon meat stewed in the bowl, looked at her unintentional appetite, and asked casually, "Is Aunt Tang okay?" ”
Su Xin sighed and said, "Mrs. Duan went back a few days ago, and Aunt Tang looked better, but she ......
It's just that it is said that Aunt Tang has only been to Lanyue Courtyard once in the days of confinement, and then he no longer goes, and often stays at Aunt Yang's. ”
Bai Yanran frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" I remember that in the past, my father favored Aunt Tang more, but now why was she suddenly left out in the cold? "Let's read the book
Su Xin leaned closer and said, "The slave maid saw that Yuxin looked haggard and really pitiful, so she said a word to her, and she suddenly cried with the slave and maid. said that Aunt Tang's belly was too big, and there were many terrible scars on her abdomen, which scared the old man, and he didn't want to spoil Aunt Tang anymore. ”
Bai Yanran had complicated feelings in her heart, and Su Xin couldn't help sighing: "Aunt Tang has a strong temperament, and she is determined to give birth to a little master." used to be so favored, but now he has lost his grace, and there is only one young lady under his knees.
Aunt Yang, who has always been competitive, gave birth to a son again, and she is still graceful and stable, I am afraid that she is uncomfortable, and even the life with a heart is not good, and I don't know what to do in the future. ”
Bai Yanran sighed: "It's really not easy for a woman, and when you reach your age, you have to leave home and get married." When you are not married, you are looking forward to marrying a good husband, and when you get married, you have to be busy getting pregnant, and when you are pregnant, you have to give birth to a son. ”
Su Xin stuffed the spoon that was resting on the edge of the bowl into Bai Yanran's hand again, and coaxed: "So Miss eat more and take care of your body to get pregnant, but don't let down Madame's hard work." ”
Zhu Ling pursed her lips and smiled, and went out without saying a word. Su Xin came back to her senses and didn't see Zhu Ling, and said to Bai Yanran: "Zhu Ling doesn't know what she is busy with these days, she always doesn't see anyone, doesn't she have a sweetheart?" ”
Bai Yanran teased: "You are allowed to have a concubine with Gu Fanglang, Zhu Ling is not bad in appearance, so naturally there are people who are courteous." ”
Su Xin muttered: "I thought that Zhu Ling was interested in the Xu guards beside His Royal Highness the Prince, could it be Lian Yue or Shan Xing?" ”
Bai Yanran listened to the little girl's muttering, laughing without saying a word, and quietly looked out the window in the direction of Zhu Ling's departure, with thoughtful eyes in her eyes.
There is a popular saying that the first seven souls refer to the fact that the soul of a deceased person will return to the place of death on the seventh day after death.
Today is the first seven days of Concubine Song, and when it gets dark, Zhu Rouyun becomes more and more uneasy. Although she had food and clothing secretly sent by Qian Wan'er in the past few days, she picked up firewood and came back to light the fire to keep warm, so she managed to survive.
But every night here is a torment, especially today, for fear that Concubine Song's soul will come back to her to ask for her life. Zhu Rouyun fell asleep early, but she never fell asleep because of her cranky thoughts.
Seeing that the night was getting deeper, Zhu Rouyun finally felt sleepy, but she heard a sudden "beep" sound outside, which startled her and suddenly woke up.
"Ahh
She shrank in the corner of the bed in a panic wrapped in the quilt, her face was pale, and she trembled and muttered, "It's not me, I didn't steal your hairpin, don't come to me." I don't, don't come to me......"
"Sister, sister?"
Zhu Rouyun came back to her senses suddenly, rushed out, and when she arrived at the dog cave, she heard Qian Wan'er's voice outside, tears falling down, she cried and begged: "Good sister, can you go and ask the prince?" When the hell will I be released? The side concubine's crested hairpin obviously didn't steal it, I didn't steal the hairpin, why should you wronged me......"
Zhu Rouyun broke down and cried, Qian Wan'er probably didn't know how to comfort her, and there was silence on the other side of the wall. After a long time, Zhu Rouyun put away her crying and asked tentatively, "Wan'er, are you still there?" ”
She was afraid that Qian Wan'er would ignore her, so she really had only one way to die. Fortunately, Qian Wan'er did not leave, and waited patiently for her to stop crying before she spoke: "Sister, I'm here." ”
After a pause, she said embarrassedly: "I tried to mention it to the prince a few times, but the prince ......."
Qian Wan'er's unfinished words were self-evident, and Zhirong on the side also said: "My aunt has been reprimanded by the prince because she has spoken for Aunt Zhu several times. Every time I come to send something to Aunt Zhu, I also sneak and venture to come, if the prince knows, even my aunt will be hanged. ”
Qian Wan'er whispered to reprimand Zhirong for being too talkative, but Zhu Rouyun was in a state of panic and despair.
"Lord, Lord, is he so ruthless, he doesn't care about his past feelings at all, and he is bent on the life of his concubine?"
There was silence for a moment, and then Qian Wan'er said quietly: "There is something that my sister doesn't know whether to talk about or not, and my sister is afraid that she will be sad when she hears it." ”
Zhu Rouyun smiled sadly and said, "So far, there is something I can't hear." ”
Qian Wan'er's voice was full of mystery, and said: "I got my sister's reminder last time, and my sister began to pay attention to the people in my sister's yard.
Sister, you said earlier that you are on guard, and you can't think of anyone else who can put the hairpin under your bed. I've always wondered who could steal the concubine's crested hairpin from under my nose.
But if that person is the prince himself, all the confusion can be solved. ”
Huan was already mentally prepared, Zhu Rouyun was still stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, and said in disbelief: "You mean, the person who framed me and wanted to put me to death is the prince?" No way, surely you are mistaken. ”
Qian Wan'er's voice came, with a demagogic meaning.
"I don't want to believe it, but there's no other explanation."
Zhu Rouyun was already six gods and no master, and asked in a hurry: "But, but why is this?" Why did the prince do this to me? ”
Qian Wan'er's voice was wrapped in the whistling wind in the winter night, which made Zhu Rouyun's heart chill.
"Yes, why did the prince treat his sister like this? Sister really doesn't know why? ”
