Chapter 29: Rumors

"I'm no longer the Xun'er who is protected and spoiled by my mother all day long," Qiu Xun thought secretly, "I am now the princess, I must help King Qiong, I can't help him with advice, but the old lady can predict the future and protect King Qiong." ”

Qiu Xun is getting more and more sensitive.

She would go around the kitchen every meal to see if there was a reaction in her head.

In addition to the official affairs of the previous court, King Qiong has other banquets and guests, as long as it is convenient, the princess has to follow, but Qiu Xun never says much, and it will not affect the atmosphere of the scene, and over time, people are also used to King Qiong and the princess staying and flying. It also attracted a lot of jealousy and gossip from the princess's wife.

Seeing that the date of the emperor's appointment of the crown prince is getting closer and closer.

Empress Xie is also busy choosing concubines for the four princes every day.

Qiu Bohong's second daughter Qiu Yan has long been in love with the fourth prince, but she doesn't know who to ask to propose marriage to Queen Xie. Although the elder brother has a close relationship with the four princes, Qiu Heng has long seen that the four princes have no love for Qiu Yan, so he doesn't want to touch this nail and interfere in his sister's affairs.

Mrs. Shen saw her daughter's thoughts, so she discussed with Qiu Bohong to see who she could ask to propose marriage to Queen Xie.

"The fourth prince has no intention of his sister at all, mother, don't waste your efforts." Qiu Heng heard that her mother was discussing with Qiu Bohong about proposing marriage again, and tried to stop Aunt Shen.

"I don't believe it, although your sister can't be said to be alluring to the country and the city, she is also as beautiful as a flower, has a good temper, and is gentle and virtuous, where is she not worthy of the four princes." Aunt Shen said indignantly, "Even Qiu Xun's ugly girl has become a princess, why can't Qiu Yan be a princess." ”

In Qiu Bohong's eyes, there is only his son Qiu Heng, not to mention Qiu Xun, even Qiu Yan and Qiu Yin are just pawns that he can use to get promoted and make a fortune.

If his daughter Qiuyan can marry the fourth prince, she is likely to be the crown princess in the future, and then she may be the queen mother, how could he miss such a good thing.

"I think we can go and ask the princess." Qiu Bohong thought for a while and said, "The eldest princess is the concubine chosen by Queen Xie for the eldest prince, and she is also the niece and granddaughter of the queen's cousin. ”

Aunt Shen naturally liked it very much, and immediately brought a gift to visit the eldest princess.

The eldest princess had long heard that Aunt Shen was born poor, but she was stunned to force away the eldest lady Yun who had a good family background and became a genuine lady herself. I was able to meet today, although Aunt Shen was more than thirty and half, she still had charm, and she was charming and charming.

"Madam, the second princess is the daughter of the Qiu family and the sister of Qiu Yan, you can't go up the ready-made steps. But he came to me, an outsider, for help. Didn't you go a long way? The eldest princess took a sip of tea.

"The eldest princess doesn't know, the Yun clan doesn't abide by women's morals, and their mother and daughter have long been driven out of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion by my lord."

Aunt Shen said with a disdainful face.

"Ah, ma'am, be quiet." The eldest princess deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Madame, you should be careful when you speak in the future, now the Yun family is the queen of Dali, and Qiu Xun is also the princess of Prince Qiong, if others hear this, it will reach the ears of Prince Qiong, I am afraid that I will be implicated with you." ”

Aunt Shen also knew that she had missed her mouth, and said embarrassedly, "Thank you for the reminder, princess." ”

The eldest princess glanced at Aunt Shen, "This kind of thing needs evidence, and you can't talk nonsense without evidence." ”

"The eldest princess doesn't know, who didn't know that the Yun family was a famous big family, and there must be a reason for marrying her daughter to a poor person for no reason, my lord was also confused for a while, coveted the Yun family's property, abandoned me and Heng'er, and married the Yun family." Aunt Shen opened the topic, "I didn't expect that the Yun family gave birth to Qiu Xun in less than a month, and it was said that she was born prematurely." In a fit of rage, the old man went to me and cried.

"Oh, I see." The eldest princess said in her heart. Qiu Bohong is not a good thing, since he suspects that his wife does not abide by women's morals, why did he not divorce his wife at that time, but waited for the death of Master Yun and embezzled the family property before driving away the Yun mother and daughter. But that's not what I'm going to do, it's enough to have the previous words. The eldest princess was secretly proud.

"Madam, let's just talk about it, but don't let outsiders hear about it." The eldest princess pretended to be concerned and said, "As for your daughter's marriage, I will definitely try my best to say good things to the queen, you also know that these four princes are arrogant, don't blame me if they can't succeed." ”

"How dare you, it's too late for me to be grateful." Aunt Shen left the palace of the eldest prince with a thousand thanks.

The eldest princess sent Aunt Shen away, and she didn't have to work hard to come to the queen's bedroom.

"The eldest princess sees the queen mother." The eldest princess paid homage to the queen.

"Alright." Empress Xie said, "Let's be casual with your own family." ”

"Thank you, Mother." The eldest princess sat down in the lower seat.

"Princess-in-law, is there anything you have to do with me?"

"I'm going to have something to do, just to see the queen mother." The eldest princess said weakly, "How about the concubines that the queen mother chose for the four emperors in the past few days?" ”

"Hey, there are too many mentions from the officials, I have chosen to be dazzled." Empress Xie said.

"That's nature." The eldest princess hurriedly echoed and said, "The four princes are both talented and good-looking, and their appearance is extraordinary, who doesn't want to rush to marry the four princes." ”

"Your mouth is like honey." Queen Xie made the eldest princess happy, as beautiful as a flower.

"Isn't it, just the lady of the Marquis of Yongchang Mansion is looking for me. Let me help her second daughter, Qiu Yan, propose marriage. ”

"Ao, I heard that the second lady of the Qiu family is also beautiful, but although her mother is correct, she is not the main house." The queen shook her head.

"Yes, I'll just say, she's embarrassed to kiss the fourth prince like that." The eldest princess changed the subject, "She thought she was like King Qiong, and she could marry anyone." ”

"Yes, King Qiong ordered to take a wife, and he could only marry an ugly one." The queen said.

"Even if you're ugly, you're still an illegitimate child." The eldest princess whispered.

"What do you say?" The queen looked at the eldest princess strangely.

The eldest princess told the queen what Aunt Shen had said just now.

The queen frowned after hearing this, "I know it in my heart, don't go around saying it, after all, the Yun family is the queen of Dali, and if it is not passed on, it will lead to a dispute between the two countries." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The ministers retreated, and the emperor ordered King Qiong to go to the palace.

King Qiong came to the emperor's bedroom, and when he saw that the emperor's face was very heavy, he asked, "What is the matter with my father calling me?" ”

"At the beginning, knowing that you had the life of a wife, Qiu Bohong also married his daughter Qiu Xun to you, but it turned out that Qiu Xun was not his biological son." The emperor said angrily.

"Who said that?" King Joan asked angrily.

"This is what the prime minister's wife said herself." The emperor said sharply, "Back then, the Yun family had a lot of money, but they hurriedly married their daughter to Qiu Bohong, who had no money, and the Yun family gave birth to Qiu Xun in less than a month. ”

After listening to the emperor's words, King Qiong was angry, and said in his heart, you are a faint king, and you can also believe the words of the women who chew their tongues.

"In the future, Qiu Xun can only be in King Qiong's Mansion, and he can't go out of the gate of King Qiong's Mansion at will and ruin the royal reputation." The emperor pointed at King Qiong and said loudly, "After the four princes get married, I will choose a princess for you, and Qiu Xun will be the side room." ”

"Father." Without waiting for King Qiong to speak again, the emperor said, "You go back, and then you will resist the decree." ”

King Qiong returned to King Qiong's mansion angrily, and he didn't know how to tell Qiu Xun.

Qiu Xun saw that King Qiong's face was not good, and asked again and again, but King Qiong had no choice but to tell Qiu Xun about it.

Qiu is angry, and his little face is green. Okay, you emperor, the dispute in your palace, even if you come to me, you dare to frame me as a cheap mother. I'm going to get that long-mouthed slut out.

As soon as the day dawned, King Qiong opened his eyes and touched Qiu Xun next to him, but his hand was empty, and King Qiong sat up, "Xun'er." "No one answers. He hurriedly woke up Chunnuan Purple Butterfly, and both of them said they hadn't seen each other.

King Qiong was in a hurry, and Nie Tiancheng said that King Qiong's big white horse was gone. said that a little maid saw the princess coming to lead the horse in the early morning, because the princess had recently learned to ride a horse with General Nie, so she thought it was a horse training and didn't ask.

"Will something happen to the princess?" Nie Tiancheng asked worriedly.

"She went to Dali to find her mother to ask for evidence." King Joan said word by word.

"I'll chase the princess back immediately." Nie Tiancheng said.

"She's riding my warhorse, and any of you can catch up with her." King Qiong said helplessly.

Although spring is coming, the wind is still very cold, Xun'er sneaked away at night, must not have dressed herself thicker, and I don't know if she has enough silver, King Qiong was distressed for a while.

The disappearance of the princess of King Qiong's mansion on horseback soon spread throughout the palace, and the gossip was even more unbearable, and King Qiong only pretended to be confused and didn't hear it, but he was worried that Qiu Xun was restless.

Qiu Xun is day and night, all the way to the wild, soon arrived in Dali, saw the Yun family, did not make the Yun family distressed to death, Qiu Xun, who did not eat a few meals all the way, almost fainted in the arms of the Yun family, and his hair was messy.

After Qiu Xun fell asleep, he didn't care about saying a thoughtful word to his mother, so he told him how the emperor framed the Yun family. Yun was angry, "It must be Aunt Shen's tongue that has been passed to the palace." ”

The old emperor of Dali is gone.

Yun's family, gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable, the emperor of Dali is in the palm of his hand every day, as soon as he hears that someone has framed Yun's, he will immediately send troops. Qiu Xun hurriedly persuaded the old emperor, "Just scare and scare, don't use it for real." ”

Qiu Xun took the evidence from the Yun family and was about to leave immediately, but the Yun family couldn't keep her, and the old emperor was afraid of the Yun family's daughter, so he sent someone to escort Qiu Xun all the way.

Autumn search non-stop, day and night. It didn't take long to return to the capital.

When she arrived in the capital, Qiu Xun did not return to King Qiong's mansion, but went to an address given to her by the Yun family, not far from the capital, to give her the midwife's house, fortunately, the mother-in-law was still alive.

The next day, before the end of the early dynasty, there was a communiqué, and an envoy from Dali came.

The emperor summoned him, and not only King Qiong, but also the emperor was stunned.

I saw Qiu Xun walking in with two envoys from Dali.

Qiu Xun's hair and sideburns are messy, and his fleshy cheeks are obviously much thinner, but he is full of energy.
