No. 121 Hui nobles
Princess Fuqing found that she really underestimated Hui Guiren in the past. Her gaze wandered around Hui Guiren's sallow, haggard face, and she laughed in her heart.
Hui Guiren's ability to respond like this shows that she is well aware of her current situation.
Princess Fuqing sat down slowly on the embroidery bench brought by the palace maid, and said in a homely manner: "The lord of Yonghe County invited the palace to go to her village today to enjoy the flowers, and the palace met your sister Miss Cui Er. According to this palace, Ling Mei's appearance is similar to that of the noble man, but her temperament is not very different. β
Hui Guiren didn't seem to hear Princess Fuqing's words, and he didn't even move his little thumb on the brocade quilt.
Princess Fuqing didn't think that her words could impress Hui Guiren, and said slowly: "This palace remembers that you entered the Yongwang Mansion with my mother, and it has been twenty years ago. Have you ever thought about going home to save your relatives? β
Hui Guiren suddenly opened her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled sarcastically: "I'm not even a ninth concubine, go back to the province to save relatives?" Does the princess think that His Majesty will agree? β
Without waiting for Princess Fuqing to answer, a miserable smile appeared on Hui Guiren's face, and she said self-deprecatingly: "If it weren't for the fact that I almost couldn't survive in February, Your Majesty probably wouldn't even have forgotten which way the door of the Linhua Hall was opened." β
Princess Fuqing raised her eyebrows, what did she think, she heard a hint of resentment in Hui Guiren's words.
"My father is in charge of all opportunities, and he only focuses on state affairs. But when I heard that you were sick, my father personally instructed Yin Yuanzheng to let the Tai Hospital stay on your side first. Noble, you are the biological mother of Yichang and Duanmin, and your father still remembers you in his heart. Princess Fuqing gently admonished.
"Managing all kinds of opportunities and dedicating oneself to national affairs?" Hui Guiren seemed to have heard a big joke, and he choked with laughter. After a while, Hui Guigui calmed down, and she sneered: "Why should the princess deceive herself. Your Majesty......"
"Your Majesty, who is the person in his heart? Doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess know? β
Looking at Hui Guiren's crazy expression, Princess Fuqing frowned, out of instinct, she didn't want Hui Guiren to say the rest of the words.
Princess Fuqing whispered, "What are you talking nonsense?" The Sixth Palace of the Father Emperor is vacant. You are the only concubine with a name in the harem. You yourself are not angry, and you live your life like this, but you resent your father for being ruthless and benevolent, don't you think you are ridiculous? β
"Ridiculous?" Hui Guiren was stunned, the water in her eyes flashed, she smiled desolately, and her voice was desolate: "The princess is right. I'm really ridiculous. When I was in the boudoir, I was not pleased with my mother; I entered the Yongwang Mansion with great expectations, but I found that my husband had the world in his heart, not to mention that I was a concubine, that is, the first princess Chen, and His Majesty had never taken it to heart. β
"If you know, it's good." Princess Fuqing coldly interrupted Hui Guiren's words, her eyes were as indifferent as snow: "Father and emperor have never been a person who loves children. If you want to force what doesn't belong to you, you can only suffer for yourself. β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you have everything, so naturally you don't have to ask for it. But I ...... But I have nothing. Two lines of hot tears slid down Hui Guiren's cheeks, and she pursed the corners of her mouth, and there was a sadness in her eyes that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.
That is the hero of the world that he admired when he was in the boudoir, with a noble identity and a noble character, even if he entered the Yongwang Mansion as a concubine, he also made himself feel full of sweetness.
But after entering the mansion, Hui Guigui realized how naΓ―ve his thoughts were. The main concubine Chen is very kind, mean and unkind, and the side concubine Lin is proud and dustless. These two women fight to the death in private, and often involve themselves in the fight between the two of them. But her husband turned a blind eye and never cared about any woman.
If...... If it goes on like this, if Your Majesty has always been hard-hearted, Hui Guiren thought, she would not have such a deep resentment.
However, the secret that was unintentionally broken planted a seed called jealousy in her heart, which made her unrestful day and night, made her heart twist like a knife, and finally, bit by bit, corroded her last sanity.
"What did you say?" Princess Fuqing's eyebrows twisted slightly. This Hui nobleman is a lot older, Yichang is about to get married, and she is still so naΓ―ve. I really don't know how Mrs. Cui raised her daughter!
"You live in the palace to call slaves and maids, brocade clothes and jade food, if you still have nothing, how should the women of the people live?"
"If there is an afterlife, I would rather be a commoner woman." Hui Guiren laughed miserably, and she said almost hysterically: "Your Royal Highness, do you know how difficult life is in this palace? Linhua Hall is like a cold palace, like a tomb. If I wasn't still gasping for breath, what difference would I have from a dead man? β
The most taboo words in the palace, Hui Guiren almost said them all over.
Princess Fuqing's eyes sneered, and the expression on her face showed a deep disdain.
"Aren't all those concubines of the first emperor staying up like this?! Bengong is too lazy to talk to you, Bengong asks you, do you know the green lotus next to the crown princess? β
Princess Fuqing originally wanted to test Hui Guiren, but this woman seemed to be crazy and said a bunch of nonsensical words, Princess Fuqing couldn't bear it!
"Green Lotus?" Hui Guiren seemed to be trying to recall who the green lotus in Princess Fuqing's words was? After a while, she chuckled and said, "Is it the palace maid with a long face, hanging eyebrows, and likes to wear green clothes?" It turned out that Her Royal Highness the princess was actually here for the green lotus. β
Princess Fuqing didn't expect Hui Guiren to admit happily, and she thought that Hui Guiren would directly deny knowing Lu He.
It seems that Hui Guiren is really sick! Princess Fuqing was too lazy to deal with a woman with a bad brain, and she said slowly: "Shouldn't the noble person explain why he is so familiar with the female official next to the crown princess?" β
"Explain? Doesn't Her Royal Highness already have an answer? What's the use of asking for my explanation? After Hui Guiren finished speaking, he closed his eyes, looking indifferent and didn't want to talk to Princess Fuqing anymore.
"Bring the green lotus." Princess Fuqing instructed Feng Ying, who was waiting outside the main hall.
During the period of time between Princess Fuqing and Hui Guiren, Lu He was hastily washed by the rough palace maid, and changed her into clean clothes, so that she dared to lead her to Linhua Hall to resume her life.
The green lotus was carried into the main hall by two eunuchs. Her tendons and tendons had all been broken, and even her face, which could be called delicate, looked extremely eerie because of the crisscrossing scars on her cheeks.
"Look up." Princess Fuqing commanded.
The little eunuch holding the green lotus pinched the green lotus's chin and forcibly lifted her face.
"Green lotus, this palace asks you, do you know Hui Guiren?" Princess Fuqing's words were a little careless and lazy.
Lu He was afraid that he would be dragged to the violent room to suffer again, and when he heard this, he nodded vigorously, and said with a crying voice: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the slave and the ghost are obsessed, and for a thousand taels of silver, this is the only way to report to the Hui nobles." β
"So, your original plan was to blame the East Palace, right?" Princess Fuqing thought that she had almost fallen for the tricks of these traitors, and her phoenix eyes were gloomy as if they could drip water.
"I don't understand what Her Highness the Princess is saying." Hui Guiren said coldly.
"Hui Guiren, this palace looks at the face of the two younger sisters and doesn't want to punish you. But if you want to be stubborn to the end, don't blame this palace for being ruthless. Princess Fuqing had an annoyed look on her face. She said to the interrupted Green Lotus, "Green Lotus, answer the question of this palace." β
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
After entering the riot room, Green Lotus learned that in this world, sometimes life is more terrible than death.
On the first day of entering the riot room, Green Lotus was tortured for only one hour and couldn't stand it, but no matter how she begged for mercy, those eunuchs didn't show any weakness as if they hadn't heard it.
Until...... It wasn't until the appearance of Princess Fuqing that Green Lotus ended the torture that made her unable to survive and die.
At this moment, in the face of Princess Fuqing's questioning, Lu He didn't dare to hide it at all, she hurriedly said: "The crown princess's biological father was robbed of the title by His Majesty and belittled to return to his hometown, and the crown princess's father was assassinated on the way back to his hometown. β
Princess Fuqing only thought that these things were arranged by the Chen family at first, and it turned out that they were all from the handiwork of the Hui nobles.
Such an assertive, cowardly and incompetent woman, who was almost killed by her own mother and sister, has such a deep city, so why does she drink poisonous decoction every day?
"Hui Guiren, how do you explain what Green Lotus said?" Princess Fuqing asked.
"Even if I have planted people in the East Palace, so what? Is it only the Crown Princess who is allowed to put her hand in my palace? Hui Guiren changed the cowardice on her face, and her radiant and dim eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you should know a thing or two about what the princess did to me back then, right? Now that I'm giving back to her niece, why not? β
Princess Fuqing bent her lips, which was a good reason. However, the smile on her face was like dew in the sun, and it disappeared in an instant.
Princess Fuqing shouted loudly: "Hui Guiren, then you arranged for the palace maids around you to peep at the emperor's traces, how do you explain?" β
Since you did such things, you have thought about the day when Your Majesty will find out about you. But she didn't expect that she would be exposed so quickly. It's just a day...... No, just a few hours, and I was exposed.
"What about Your Majesty? Your Majesty, he knows it all, right? When Hui Guiren said this, it was equivalent to confessing his sins.
"Did Your Majesty ask you to interrogate me?" Hui Guiren's dim eyes burst into a strange look, and she curled her lips and smiled: "No, Your Majesty doesn't know whether you are alive or dead now, otherwise it wouldn't be Your Royal Highness the Princess who appeared here." β
