Chapter 211: The Strange Woman on the Zhuangzi
This year may be the crown prince's crime Tai Sui, the former crown princess just had an accident, and then another major incident happened in mid-September.
The crown prince was deposed.
The prince was drunk in the palace and broke into Lan Guifei's palace by mistake, wanting to do something wrong, but thanks to Lan Guifei's maid breaking in, there was no scandal.
And on the same day, some officials have impeached Taidan, for example, he colluded with Chongyang Yuan Taishou Zhang Yan to pervert the law for bribes, poison the people, use the purchase of palace maids to buy and sell young girls, and connived at his subordinates to bully and bully women, occupy land and other crimes.
Lan Guifei couldn't bear this shame and humiliation, and hanged herself, but fortunately saved her in time to avoid death.
All kinds of crimes were added together, and the emperor was furious, and on the second day, he issued an edict to abolish the crown prince.
The queen and the crown princess took off their hairpins outside the Vientiane Palace for a day and a night, and the emperor was indifferent.
Now the prince is still imprisoned in the Imperial Division, and he has no intention of releasing it.
Jiao Niang was slightly stunned when she heard Lan Guifei, she only felt that the word "Lan" was familiar, and then remembered that Yang Liu was given a title soon after entering the palace, which is this Lan character.
I heard that the saint likes her very much, saying that she has an excellent temperament and is as elegant as an orchid.
didn't think that in just one year, she had gone from being the lowest-class waiter to becoming a fourth-grade concubine.
Jiao Niang looked at the pot of orchids next to the window lattice, and she didn't know whether she helped her or hurt her when she helped her.
Now that such a scandal has happened, although she is innocent and there is nothing wrong with her, she has always been in the gap between Yinghua and Emperor Jianyuan, I am afraid that even if Emperor Jianyuan will compensate her, she will never be favored again.
And the queen -
I'm afraid that her life in the harem will not be easy in the future.
"Jiao Niang. ”
Ying Che's call recalled Jiao Niang's thoughts, and a wide embrace came up behind her, "What do you think, I don't even know if this king is coming." ”
He kissed affectionately between the hair of the girl, "Clean up, let's go to the suburbs to live in Zhuangzi for a few days." ”
Jiao Niang was suspicious, turned to look at him, and said: "It's been too noisy in the court these days, go there to hide and be clean." ”
Now that the crown prince has been deposed, the forces of various princes have begun to move, and for a while, the voices of opposition to who is the prince in the court are continuous, the third prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the eleventh prince......
Among them, the three princes and the seventh princes have the highest voice.
But Ying Che thinks that it is better not to be too aggressive at this time, the prince has just been deposed, and the situation is turbulent, if anyone is bent on seeking the position of the prince at this time, it is inevitable that the old man will not be suspected of seizing the heir, and it will be considered to be a party for personal gain, and the upper and lower sides are colluding.
So a few days ago, he had secretly ordered those who supported him to stop their voices and not participate in the dispute for the crown prince.
And he also took leave to the court at this juncture, ready to take Jiao Niang Yu'er to go freely.
On the second day, the carriage of King Rui's mansion drove to the suburbs, far away from the rights and wrongs of the imperial court.
Ying Che knew that Jiao Niang had been thinking about her younger brother, and she greeted Yongchang Bofu a day in advance, and picked up Brother An the next day.
When I arrived that day, it was already late, and I went to sleep after gathering my good things, and I didn't have time to take a good look at Zhuangzi.
Jiao Niang got up early in the morning, and couldn't bear to wake up Yingche, so she quietly got dressed and walked out of the door, only taking Qiushuang and Wu Dan to make a round.
Everyone in Zhuangzi knew that it was a noble person from the palace, and they didn't dare to slack off, and they were respectful.
At this time, the autumn harvest has passed, and the fruits, vegetables and grains in the Zhuangzi field have been harvested, leaving only the seedlings everywhere and the clumps of corn stalks.
Jiao Niang walked to a small courtyard at the back, the small courtyard is not big, only one room, the yard is full of chickens, ducks and geese, there is a pigsty around the outside of the courtyard, there are three pigs in it, "mmmmmmmmmm" screaming, and smelly.
"It stinks, master, let's go. Wu Dan covered her nose, it wasn't that she was squeamish, the smell was too strong.
Jiao Niang nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, when she heard the door in the small courtyard open, and a woman came out, greeting Jiao Niang with a smile, "Since you are here, let's go in and sit inside." ”
Jiao Niang looked at her, a little strange, this person is not at all different from the other people in Zhuangzi, there is no restraint and awe in the face of her, but Jiao Niang is not half annoyed because of this, but feels that the other party is very kind.
She walked over, there were two big roosters in the yard, and when she saw Jiao Niang, she was a little scared, and the woman drank from the big rooster, and immediately wilted down and lowered her head to eat.
"Don't be afraid, with me, they won't dare to do anything to you. ”
The woman's face was the color of wheat, but the exposed half of her arms were white, and she knew at a glance that they had been dried for many years.
She was neither fat nor thin, of medium height, with a rectangular face, about fifty years old, with black and white hair, a flat bun, only two plain silver hairpins, and a pair of coral earrings.
His eyes fell on the scarlet earrings like acacia beans, and the girl froze, this pair of earrings was not cheap.
She smiled softly at the woman and said, "Are these all raised by the lady?"
She could see that the woman in front of her was not just a village woman doing farm work.
The woman squatted on the ground and rolled the grass neatly, rolled out a pot, and threw it on the ground, and saw that all the chickens, ducks, and geese were rushing up, but in a moment, they were all snatched up.
The woman smiled and wiped the sweat from her face, and said heartily: "Yes, feed a spring and autumn season, and when the weather cools down in a few days, you can kill and eat." If you can't eat it, put it in the ice cellar, and when you want to eat it, take out one. I personally fed them, and they are called fragrant when they are eaten. ”
After speaking, she suddenly covered her waist and said, "Oops", "It's not good, my waist is twisted." ”
Seeing this, Jiao Niang hurriedly asked Qiushuang to help the woman aside to rest, and after the woman sat down, she pointed to the forage, "My babies are still waiting to eat." ”
Qiushuang said kindly: "I will do this, and I will help you tie it." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.
The woman said, "Wait, let it go first, my pig is still waiting to eat, you go and feed me the pig." ”
Then he pointed to the goose that ran out and cried out, "My goose." Command Wordan, "Get my goose back." ”
"You old woman, you are too rude, let's feed you pigs and geese, you think you are the queen mother. The appearance of this command and that made Qiushuang very angry, crossed her waist, and said angrily.
"Autumn frost, don't be rude!" Jiao Niang scolded, "Go quickly." ”
Qiushuang was not convinced, "Master, you really listen to her." ”
"If you want to go, you will go. The lady glared at her.
Autumn Frost snorted and pouted to feed the pigs.
The woman instructed the lady again, "What are you still doing here stupidly, my babies are still waiting to eat, why don't you go and roll the grass quickly." ”
"Oh. In fact, Jiao Niang was also a little unhappy in her heart, but to help people to the end, although this woman was rude, but now she has a back injury, so she can't bear to leave her here and ignore her.
But how did Jiao Niang do this kind of thing, she has been fiddling for a long time, and she doesn't know how to start.
Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly heard Ying Che's voice floating into her ears as if it had fallen from the sky, "Nurse, you are embarrassing people here again." ”
