Chapter 211: The performance of the diaphragm
And just here, the door of the hall finally opened, and Xu Yin, who had returned, slowly came in with the reorganized second prince.
Although Xu Ruyu said that he was very famous in the capital before, because of the drag of his body, most people envied and worshiped him, and gradually turned it into a joke.
Seeing that he was dressed so enthusiastically today, many people who came over began to have a faint mocking look on their faces.
However, after Su Jiao's encouragement, Xu Ruyu disdained their cynicism, and his face was filled with a decent smile, which made people unconsciously fall into it, so as to ignore the inconvenience on his legs, as if he seemed to have returned to the most respected era.
Su Jiao just watched Xu Ruyu quietly pass through the silence of the full hall, and was pushed to his main seat, and felt a burst of emotion in her heart.
"I heard that the last time His Majesty came, so far the second prince, the spirit of the whole person has changed, speaking of which, the second prince is really a poor person, with such a background and self-esteem, it has fallen to such a point, it is really embarrassing that the world is impermanent."
The last time Zhang Xinglin was in the suburbs, she pretended to be sick and couldn't participate because she wanted to sing a song, but she was also a person who witnessed it more than ten years ago, and she naturally knew much more things than others.
Hearing this, Su Jiao's eyebrows couldn't stand a pick, turned her head, and took advantage of the fact that no one was changing here, and asked in a low voice with the countess.
"I only heard that the second prince was a great figure at the beginning, but I don't know much, listen to the countess, you should have seen and understood some things at the beginning, why don't you talk to me?"
"Knowing is knowing, but this is all a palace secret, and it is generally inconvenient to talk to others." Zhang Xinglin had a mouth, and she said so, but her blazing eyes betrayed her plan to gossip with Su Jiao.
"But since Mrs. Xiao asked, then I'll tell you about it, you only promised me not to tell others."
"That's for sure." Su Jiao nodded violently, and the whole person was in good spirits.
"In fact, speaking of the second prince's biological mother, Lan Zhaoyi Liu, although she looks as weak as our family songs, her body and bones have always been good, and she was also the most favored by His Majesty at the beginning, she was gentle and knowledgeable, and she was once the most prestigious lady in our capital."
"It is also for these reasons that when she was pregnant with the second prince, His Majesty gave her a title. The word 'treat women' was originally another name for orchids in poetry books, which can also show her weight in His Majesty's heart. ”
The countess said, Su Jiao nodded busily, she didn't expect the emperor to be so decisive, and there were times when this tenderness and sweetness would be sultry.
"It's just that I didn't expect that it would be about three months old, but Lan Zhaoyi suddenly fell ill, and it was not good to take any medicine, and it was very difficult to even take the second prince to be born, and she almost had a difficult birth."
Speaking of this, the countess particularly lowered her voice, and Su Jiao hurriedly held her breath, "It is said that at that time, Lan Zhaoyi was assassinated because she was jealous, and the person who assassinated her was still the biological mother of the fourth prince, Concubine De. ”
Then the second prince was born, but Lan Zhaoyi fell ill and got up again in bed, and he couldn't only recuperate in his palace now. When the second prince was young, it was probably because the toxins brought in the womb had not yet attacked, so he looked at everything, but who expected that he would suddenly fall ill when he was at his peak, and His Majesty let him move to the royal palace in order to make him have a good life and recuperate. ”
"Concubine De harmed the person, so why was she able to give birth to the fourth prince later?" Su Jiao gently covered her mouth and nose with her hands, so as not to be noticed by her overly surprised expression.
The Countess waved her hand eagerly and excitedly, pulling Su Jiao's bodies and lowering them unconsciously.
"At first, I just suspected it, because the most likely thing to do was to fly, but there was no evidence, and then Concubine De also had a difficult birth when she gave birth to the fourth prince, and both mother and son died, which can also be regarded as retribution."
The countess's voice became smaller and quieter, causing Su Jiao to lower her posture as well. Hai Chaoyun saw their situation in the noble ladies in front of him, and couldn't help but squint his eyes quietly, and hurriedly came back to his senses, and specially provoked the topic to divert the attention of others from looking here.
"Oh my God!" Su Jiao covered her mouth and snorted softly, she thought that a plot like this kind of palace fight could only be seen in TV series, but she didn't expect that she still had a story that had really happened with her own ears.
It's also a pity that I didn't come at the right time, if it was more than ten years earlier, maybe I would be able to witness the historical picture of this group of harem women tearing each other apart.
"So, like a high-minded, graceful and elegant posture, in fact, there may be something behind it, so I don't like to talk to them very much," the countess smiled, and led Su Jiao to straighten up again.
"Fortunately, my daughters-in-law, nephews and daughters are not bad, talking to them on weekdays is enough to pass the time, I will tell Mrs. Xiao and you alone, you just listen, don't ask everywhere."
The Countess looks generous and informal on weekdays, but in fact her mind is equally delicate. Su Jiao nodded hurriedly, and it could be regarded as being able to understand that even if Xu Ruyu was unwilling, it was reasonable.
It's just that there is another thing that is very strange, Su Jiao's eyes gently twitched to the side, vaguely aware of something, "However, if Lan Zhaoyi was sick at the beginning, the second prince must not have been able to raise her by her side." Is it supposed to be the queen taking care of the second prince, since the queen is watching him, how could he suddenly induce the toxin brought out of the womb? ”
"Mrs. Xiao......" She agreed just now, but when she turned around, she asked out loud, Zhang Xinglin felt helpless for a while, and sighed faintly.
"That's it, in fact, it was about that time that the queen mother was still pregnant with the third prince, maybe it was to take care of the fetus, so she didn't have the time to take care of it so carefully. But it is also said that although the queen was specially selected to be the queen of the world, everyone can see her friendship with His Majesty, and it is common for her to be a little unhappy with the children of others. ”
"This is also true, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless." Su Jiao took a deep breath, she didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain if she asked so casually.
In her impression, she only knew that the emperor had fought in other small countries when he was young, but she didn't expect that there was such a great charm, and it was like the sincerity of the queen of a political marriage.
Su Jiao silently digested the latest information she had gotten, and didn't pay attention for a while, the second prince in front had already greeted the other ministers, and asked Xu Yi to clap his hands gently, and the whole hall was quiet again.
"Today, all the ministers came to attend the wedding banquet of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness specially arranged a song and dance, and invited all the adults to enjoy it slowly, and it must be fun tonight."
Xu Ruyu smiled very well, but this smile was too standard, and after revealing the enthusiasm on the surface, it only made people feel alienated.
Su Jiao turned her head silently as usual, watching those who were about to perform on stage come in one after another, but found that these people's costumes were actually in the style of the Japanese people, and the whole hall was suddenly in high spirits.
"Second Highness, this ......" The people next to him were not easy to talk to, and Shang Shang, who had always had a good relationship with other people and was the least threatening, helped to ask.
Xu Ruyu smiled lightly, "I know the doubts of your lords, but because my concubine is the lord of the Japanese country, although the envoys have a lot of trouble entering Beijing this time, but the people of the two countries are still looking forward to peaceful coexistence after all, this is also a little heart and expectation of His Royal Highness, I hope you don't have to worry too much, so that the ministers can also understand." ”
"Yes, thank you for the kindness and hard work of His Royal Highness, and the foreign minister will definitely tell Daze what he means when he goes back." As soon as Xu Ruyu's words landed, Yunosuke hurriedly stood up and agreed.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, it would have been difficult for people to discover his existence with the position he was sitting in.
Su Jiao looked over in a daze, and it was easy to find Yunosuke with a cramped face in the men's seat over there. Because a few days ago in the palace, the people in his own team suddenly rebelled, and the situation of Yunosuke who harmed him was also very embarrassing.
Now looking at Yunosuke's pitiful and aggrieved look, Su Jiao remembered the first time the two met, and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
"Haha." Su Jiao couldn't help laughing twice, and the countess next to her couldn't help laughing.
There is a song and harmony between Xu Ruyu and Younosuke, and the other ministers below are embarrassed to ask more questions. So this time, the people who performed the song and dance, one by one, wore masks, big fans, and wore their country's unique large-sleeved robes on stage, and since they couldn't see their faces clearly, the ministers below couldn't help but be a little worried.
The people of the Wa Kingdom have always been not very tall, and the people who do this kind of song and dance performances are often not taken seriously, so the performers of Qingyishui are about the same height as Su Jiao, or even a little shorter, but only one is slightly taller, and it is very conspicuous as if standing out from the crowd.
As soon as Su Jiao raised her eyes, she happened to meet the eyes of the tallest person who was looking for a position, the tall one was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly lowered his head, although Su Jiao felt a little strange, but after all, he didn't notice anything.
Then, with a strong exotic music, people who are used to listening to it are naturally happy, but most people still only feel drowsy, and it is better to talk to the people around them to be more lively.
At the same time, Xiao Huai'an's horse had also returned to the capital and reported the situation to the emperor.
The emperor specially called the queen to come over to listen to Xiao Huai'an's report, and it happened that the folds in his hand were all approved, the emperor nodded, and couldn't help but stand up.
