Chapter 22: The Crown Princess

Seeing that the palace banquet was about to start, Xia Yuke's heart was a little uneasy, after all, she had seen the methods of the crown princess and the concubines in the palace.

Feng Sui seemed to notice the subtle changes on this woman's face and the uneasiness in her heart, and looked down at her, as if to say that I promised to protect you.

Xia Yuke instantly felt a warm current surging into his heart. However, all this in front of her was taken into the eyes of Song Yao, the crown princess, although she couldn't see any displeasure on her face, but her fists were clenched tightly in her sleeves, and the nails left blood marks on her hands as if they were about to pierce the delicate skin.

The three of them each went back to their bedrooms, changed their dresses, and prepared to participate in tonight's palace banquet......

It was night, and a dull and slightly crisp bell rang, followed by young and beautiful dancers in gorgeous costumes, musicians and dancers who rang bells and chimes...... And who are the people sitting in the audience? The ministers of the third rank in the court, the families of the ministers of the first rank and above, the families of the princes and kings, and the ladies of the harem.

I only heard one sentence: "The emperor and queen have arrived!" ”

The singing and dancing stopped instantly, and everyone got up and crossed the attendance to form two lines and kneel down face-to-face, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Wan'an!" Then he lowered his head, and no one dared to move.

I only respectfully waited for the emperor and queen to hold hands and walked to the throne at the highest place of the table and sat down, and said lightly: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, give me a seat!" Then they all got up and walked to their respective places, knelt down on the cushions, and took their cups and drank them.

The singing and dancing continued......

"Sui'er and the two virtuous concubines not only solved the flood but also calmed the hearts of the people for the widow, and they really deserve to be the prince of my great seal, and they will definitely be competitive in the future. It is also the queen's good upbringing. The Emperor raised his cup and spoke to the Empress.

The queen didn't know that this "husband" Su Rili was the most disdainful of Feng Sui, and even thought about his eldest son first when he was famous and errands, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince was useless this time, it would be her turn to be on her Sui'er: "Your Majesty said that it was funny, although Sui'er grew up beside the concubine and was raised by the concubine, she is also Your Majesty's crown prince, Your Majesty's son!" If it is said that the concubines are well educated, it is better to say that it is the credit of His Majesty. ”

These words seem to be praise and depreciation, but they are secretly accusing him, the emperor, of changing his mind and not caring for his son, how could the emperor not understand her words, but this Sui'er is now deeply popular with the people, and he is also going to live on his face "um" and turned around.

When the queen saw this, she didn't say much, and turned to look at the prince.

I saw the prince and the two people in the family sitting in the first row of the column on the left side of the head, wearing a dark coat, the coat was only embroidered with gold thread on the waist is not a very big gold mang, although it is not bright enough, but the material is special to the royal family, it is naturally good, it looks fresh and refined, and it is also graceful and luxurious, I don't know when the cold face is more handsome.

Our crown princess is dressed in a gorgeous, bright yellow group with pink big-sleeved shirts, embroidered with gold thread with peony flowers, and gold ornaments on one end, which looks graceful and luxurious, but a little earthy...... And it's vulgar!

Xia Yuke pulled up a bun at random, leaving two locks of broken smooth hair on his face (which is what we often call bangs in modern times), and knew a jade hairpin and a tassel on his head. Dressed in a pale yellow Confucian skirt and light blue cedar, she looks fresh and refined under the simple spectrum, and her already handsome face makes people can't take their eyes off it.

When the queen saw this scene, she thought in her heart, this concubine is actually a sensible child, not as rude-brow as rumored, but indeed a person who can help Sui'er in things, no more than this princess, now it looks a little unpleasant, and she has heard of the trouble before, and she is more and more concerned about Xia Yuke.

The topic of the banquet never left the prince, and at first they all whispered about the prince, but Song Yao didn't care much, but the more she got to the back, the tighter Song Yao's hand pinched the cup, and the eyes that secretly looked at Xia Yuke were also poisonous......

Only she knew in her heart that she was jealous of Xia Yuke.

The banquet was over, and the three of them returned to the East Palace......

At this time, the painting screen walked in and said, "Miss, you don't feel at ease eating at dinner, right?" Do you want to ask the kitchenette to do something and send it over? ”

Xia Yuke twisted his head: "Forget it, I'm not very hungry yet, my appetite hasn't been very good recently, and I've eaten a little bit." ”

Huaping said helplessly: "Then I'll help you to walk in the yard." ”

Xia Yuke got up and said hello, and the two walked towards the courtyard......

Xia Yuke looked up at the sky, thinking what kind of ghost day this is! It's all to blame for this abominable crossing girl, without her, she wouldn't have experienced modern life, and she faced such a big crisis after wearing it back......

She really misses the air conditioning, WIFI, hot pot, and TV at home......

Thinking of this, she wanted to go out for a walk, to go out for a walk, to walk on the streets outside the palace, and to walk around the world outside the "cage".

She walked through Feng Sui's study, and when she saw that it was brightly lit, she wondered why this prince was still in the study so late? I just wanted to go in and have a look.

Feng Sui was also surprised, after marrying in for so long, Xia Yuke had sent a maid to invite him to the courtyard no matter how troublesome he had before, but now he came to the door by himself, and it was still this hour.

Xia Yuke walked up to Feng Sui and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, Wan'an!" ”

Feng Sui looked at the book and replied lightly: "No courtesy, why are you here?" ”

Xia Yuke replied: "The concubine wants to go out for a walk, and wants to walk on the street." ”

When Feng Sui heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you suddenly want to go out for a walk, didn't we just come back?" ”

Xia Yuke said: "The concubine wants to have a tough battle to fight in the future, but she just wants to go out and relax, and she wants to rationalize her thoughts and then give advice to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Feng Sui said: "When did Concubine Ai get her brains? ”

"It's okay, it's okay to go out for a walk, just bring three or two small guards to protect you."

When Xia Yuke heard this, he saluted Feng Sui like a flower in his heart and said, "I know, the concubine will go back first!" ”

Xia Yuke walked on the way back to the dormitory, although he was happy and proud in his heart, but he was also a question mark in his head. She didn't understand how the man who had threatened to kill herself and slashed at him suddenly seemed to be a different person, and even felt warm and gentle.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuke paused, don't he fall in love with me, patted his brain and immediately cleared this thought, he was really confused, how could he have this kind of thought, the two of us just used each other and took what we needed. Then he quickened his pace and walked towards the dormitory.

At noon the next day, Xia Yuke changed into a lotus pink skirt in the cabinet, put on a light blue tulle shirt with large sleeves, pulled a bun at will, and left the house with three or two small servants.

This dress is simple and elegant, if you don't know it, you look like a young lady from a scholarly family, but the previous crossing girl is a fine man, and the capital is full of trouble, she Xia Yuke doesn't know who in the city. Thinking about it, Xia Yuke covered his hair and walked into the sedan chair sadly......

After a while, they came to the Taoist temple outside the city, because Xia Yuke originally wanted to come out to relax, and didn't want to go to those noisy places, so she came here.

Puzzled, he asked, "Why did Miss think of coming here?" ”

Xia Yuke said: "What if I say I miss home? ”

The painting screen was even more puzzled: "The home is not far from the palace, and I will go back in a sedan chair, and it is okay for the young lady to go back and see when she is homesick!" ”

Xia Yuke said: "Now that I am married to the prince's concubine in the palace, how can I say that I will go out for a walk, not to mention that I am not talking about Xia Mansion." ”

The picture screen was puzzled: "Miss is really joking, if Xia Mansion is not Miss's home, then where is Miss's home?" ”

Xia Yuke replied: "You don't have to care, I'm just joking." ”

At this time, I only heard the sound of "stopping" in the forest, and two masked people dressed in black rushed out from inside, and noisily rushed towards Xia Yuke: "Demon girl, take your life!" ”

Xia Yuke was also shocked at this time, and shouted: "Help!" Someone stabbed the concubine! ”

At this time, the little maid didn't know what to do, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to bring the guards out, but when he went out, he was stopped by the princess because the palace guards were not enough, so where did the guards come from, today's casual people are just brought with them, where can they cope with this.

It was too late, it was fast, and at this moment, the sword of the black-clothed masked man stabbed into Xia Yuke's chest, Xia Yuke was also so frightened that he fell to the ground, avoiding this time, seeing the masked man stabbing the second sword at him, Xia Yuke couldn't avoid it, so he closed his eyes as if he was resigned to meet the sword.

only heard Duang's voice, and then roared: "Bold fanatic, dare to assassinate the lonely concubine!" If you don't take it down yet, you will have to interrogate it carefully when you return to the palace. ”

After saying this, he picked up Xia Yuke, brushed her messy broken hair, and said coldly: "Didn't Lone tell you to bring a guard to protect you?" Do you think Lone's words are farts? ”

Xia Yuke was also shocked, she was ready to meet death, she didn't think that anyone would save her at this moment, she was stunned for a while and said: "Is it the crown princess who said that the palace guards are not enough, and that the concubine is just going out to relax, so it is a bit of a fuss to use the East Palace guards?" left the guards in the palace, and the concubine thought that it didn't matter, and it didn't hurt to wear the plain clothes she wore on weekdays before she got married. It's the concubine's bad health. ”

Feng Sui said: "If you don't know this, you went to see the king of Hades early, how can you have the life to explain to the lonely poor mouth here?" ”

Xia Yuke said: "Yes, yes, the concubine knows, let's go back!" ”

Feng Sui turned around and explained to the guards accompanying him: "You don't need to bring it back to the palace, you can just deal with it." ”

The guards nodded and replied, "My subordinates know!" "I hit the nail on the head......

CHAPTER XXIII

On the way back to the house, the two of them did not take a sedan chair, but walked around on the road holding hands like ordinary couples, the purpose of this trip is to let everyone know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today has affection for the ploppy side concubine in their eyes, of course, to be precise, all this is for the Song family to see.

You must know that the Song family is in Fengsui, and they have long been like a thorn in their backs, and they are pre-pulled out and then ......

For Song Meiren's mother and son in the palace, Feng Sui was not hostile at first. Song Meiren has no desires and no desires, she has no intention of fighting in the palace, and she only hopes that Feng Jing will have a peaceful life, and she has nothing to think about. If the Song family is a peaceful and self-guarded person, it is better to intervene in this matter. Since Feng Jing was born, the Song family has started the idea of the throne, and forced this Song beauty to be a puppet mother. Needless to say, she is naturally good to Feng Jing, but there is always the Song family standing behind her.

The Song family has been entrenched in the court for a hundred years, and it has huge strength and power, and when the power is great, the ambition will naturally skyrocket, and the Song family has been trying in vain to control the government and the opposition, and control the government. It's not aimed at the Song family, and people are also staring at you.

If everyone in the Song family understands things, there is nothing over there, but the children of the Song family are all unscrupulous children. There are a little bullying of men and women in the capital, don't think about it, it must be someone from the Song family who did it, this is something that everyone in the capital knows, and everyone knows.

Thinking of this, Feng Sui thought of his mother again, who was the queen mother in the palace. Although this Song beauty only occupies the position of beauty, the Song family wants to protect her son Feng Jing on the throne, and then her mother will bring great glory to the Song family by virtue of her son, and ensure that the Song family will continue to be glorious for 10,000 years.

Xia Yuke also thought of this, and naturally knew whose hand it was to do today, but she was a woman and a concubine, so she couldn't ask the prince to do anything. He muttered, "What does Your Highness plan?" ”

Feng Sui saw her say this: "What do you mean? ”

Xia Yuke also said coldly: "His Royal Highness who said the concubine is naturally aware!" Why bother asking about concubines in reverse? ”

Feng Sui didn't expect Xia Yuke to talk to him in such a tone, not to mention that with his position as the crown prince, the concubine of the main palace, no one has talked to him like this since he was a child, except for his father and queen mother, so naturally he didn't dare. In an instant, his doubts and curiosity deepened about the woman in front of him.

Feng Sui: "The concubine is talking about the crown princess?" ”

Xia Yuke said coldly: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, the concubine is talking about the Song family." ”

Feng Sui was stunned, he didn't think that even when Ganzhou was flooded, Xia Yuke also borrowed from the picture in the book, and it was only a suggestion to gather the people's hearts in Ganzhou, so that a woman could have a pattern like himself raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and he couldn't think of it.

Then he said: "Lone understands what you mean, but it's not time yet, Lone won't let you be wronged all the time." ”

Xia Yuke didn't expect Feng Sui to say this: "The concubine knows!" ”

The two walked back to the East Palace from the outskirts of Beijing step by step......

In the evening, the two walked to the gate of the East Palace, and the princess had already heard that the two of them were walking back from the suburbs of Beijing hand in hand.
