Chapter 180: Taifu Yang Qing's adopted daughter Zhilei is here!
Li Junqi looked at Tang Anxia quietly, his face was bright and beautiful, his eyes were incomparably deep, his angular cheeks were handsome and abnormal, his slender and graceful fingers gently slid over Tang Anxia's cheeks, and his tone was calm and warm: "Anxia, if you don't like Princess Fang and Zhilian to stay in the palace, tell this king directly and drive them out to find another way out." ”
Tang Anxia was slightly stunned, her smart eyes were like crystal beads, and a layer of fog gradually floated, and she felt in a trance that she couldn't see through Li Junqi's thoughts. Then he said firmly: "Your Highness, the concubines have not framed them, everything is the fault of the two of them, the concubines are just for self-protection, and have not taken the initiative to harm others." Does Your Highness believe the words of your concubine? ”
Li Junqi gently hooked the corners of his lips, and his smile was as bright as the morning sun outside the courtyard, which made people think about it, and he replied softly: "Of course, as long as it is you, this king will believe you." ”
"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, the concubines are not afraid, whether it is in the palace or Prince Wen's mansion, you can always find out the truth!" Tang Anxia didn't do anything, she categorically wouldn't admit it, but she never imagined that after so long, Meng Qi and Zhilian would bite back and join forces to trap her!
Li Junqi shook his head, glanced at the already cold meal on the table, and sighed: "How can this king not trust you?" This king has a soft spot for you, so he naturally trusts you. It's a pity that the food is cold, this king has to deal with some important things, if he comes back in the evening, he will accompany you well. ”
After that, Li Junqi got up and left slowly, and Tang Anxia blessed his thin and tall back: "Yes, the concubine sends off His Highness." ”
Seeing Li Junqi and Ziyu gradually walking away, the maidservants in the house began to clean up the remaining dishes on the table, Fang Yan came over and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing! Princess Zheng hasn't finished eating yet, so she dares to pick it up! ”
The maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave should be damned!" Please atone for the sins of the princess! ”
Tang Anxia glanced at her, and her tone was cold: "That's it, let's withdraw it, this princess doesn't like cold things." In the future, you must have the ability to do things, so as not to be scolded for no reason. ”
"Yes, yes, slave and maid are guilty!" The maidservant got up in a panic and hurriedly packed up......
Tang Anxia looked at her face, and felt more and more familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Raise your head and let this princess take a look." Tang Anxia suddenly ordered.
The maid was stunned for a moment, rubbed a pair of small hands nervously, slowly raised her head, lowered her eyebrows, and did not dare to look at Tang Anxia's eyes.
The maid was dressed in simple and simple clothes, with smart eyes on her sweet face, long eyelashes, a straight nose, and a ruddy mouth, and the whole person looked delicate and pure.
"Zhilei!? How could it be you!? "Tang Anxia finally recognized her!
When she was in Chuxiu Palace, Zhilei lived in the small courtyard on the north side, and Tang Anxia lived in the side hall on the west side, and the two of them rarely spoke, and when Jiang Rong admonished and taught, they stood relatively far away and were not familiar with it.
At that time, Zhilei wore heavy makeup and was dressed up all day long, like a butterfly, very beautiful. Her speech and demeanor are also full of unstoppable arrogance, and a concubine like Tang Anxia will not take it seriously.
Today's Zhilei is like two people, without powder, revealing her original appearance, her hair is simply coiled up, without any step shake and hairpin, and she is simple like the daughter of a rural villager. Wearing a gray maidservant dress, she looked haggard and very depressed.
Fang Yan heard Tang Anxia's surprise, and hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look, and said in surprise: "Zhilei!?" Is it really you!? You...... Aren't you the adopted daughter of Lord Yang Qing of Taifu Mansion? At the canonization ceremony of Chuxiu Palace that day, he was ordered by the queen to rush back to the Taifu Mansion! ”
Zhilei's face was red and white for a while, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, she replied with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: "Slave maid...... The slave maid did not become the concubine of the prince, and was driven away by the queen's mother, but she returned to the Taifu Mansion to be ridiculed, she was an adopted daughter, there was no blood relationship, and she lost the face of the Taifu, so that the Taifu became the laughing stock of others, and the housewife of the family was angry and embarrassed, making things difficult everywhere, and the slave and maid retreated step by step, thinking that relying on the Taifu Mansion could be regarded as having a home.
It's a pity that Lord Yang Qing was bewitched by Concubine Shu's mother, and he sneered at the slave maid, regardless of it, and he didn't love it as much as he once did. The master mother found an excuse, so she drove the slave and maid out of the house, and was not allowed to set foot in the Taifu Mansion for the rest of her life. In the end, it's an adopted daughter, don't throw it away like garbage, hehe...... Slaves and maids have nowhere to go, penniless, and homeless.
I wandered in the market for a long time, I don't know what to do, I grew up in the Taifu Mansion from childhood to adulthood, I haven't done drudgery, and I don't want to go to the Spring Rain Building to be a woman who receives guest officials, and I accidentally saw Prince Wen's Mansion recruiting new maids and slaves, so I hurriedly found a housekeeper to give it a try.
The housekeeper felt that the conditions of the slave and maid were good, and the appearance, figure, personality and temperament were not disgusting, so he arranged the slave and maid to serve in the main hall of the east hall. It's much better than a slave wandering around the imperial city, eating a meal without a meal, and starving all day long. ”
Tang Anxia quietly listened to Zhilei's story, and couldn't help but sigh for her The sadness of her life experience: "If you weren't impulsive at the beginning, the queen mother might not drive you away, it's a big deal to be a concubine for any prince, it's better than being a maid in the palace now." ”
"Slaves and maids don't dare to ask for extravagance, they just want to be able to live in peace and harmony in the palace." Zhilei Jiao blessed her body and replied.
Tang Anxia looked at her serious appearance, and seemed to have looked down on the gains and losses, and she also came out of the original predicament, and the whole person gave people a sense of tranquility. He promised: "That's it, I read that we have been in Chuxiu Palace together for many days, there has been no dispute or framing between you and me, you have a poor background, and you can stay in the palace and do things in the future."
In the future, if there is a good family, this princess will make the decision for you, and she will marry you to a family worthy of entrusting you for life, and she will not treat you badly, after all, you are a person from the Taifu Mansion, and you must marry decently. ”
"Slave, thank you for the grace of Princess Zheng!" Zhilei immediately knelt down, looking pious and moved.
Tang Anxia stretched out his hand to help her up: "Do things well." ”
Immediately, Fang Yan was called: "Go out for a walk with me." ”
The two of them were walking under a tree in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, Fang Yan glanced at no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Princess Zheng, do you really plan to stay Zhilei?" She is the one who was driven out of the Taifu Mansion! And the queen mother and Concubine Shu both said that this woman has bad intentions and unpredictable thoughts, and she is not a good stubble. We can't lure wolves into the house anymore and raise a traitor who eats inside and out! ”
Tang Anxia pulled the hanging willow branches and swayed, and said easily: "Naturally, I don't believe her, but I just got in the way of driving her away and hurt my face." After all, she has not harmed me so far, and if she is allowed to serve elsewhere, she will inevitably become resentful, and then join forces with the West Temple to deal with me.
It's better to envelop yourself first, and beware of her in the future, which will not hurt your face, as if I, the princess, are careful to exclude others, and will not give her the opportunity to hold a grudge against me. If she really does something shady and intends to harm me, we will kill her with one move, so that she will never be able to turn over. ”
After a pause, Tang Anxia's eyes were instantly cold and piercing, and her originally soft complexion became solemn and gloomy, gritting her teeth and saying word by word: "No, it's not that she doesn't turn over, but directly asks for her life, only if she dies can she be safe...... The two lowly maids in the west hall have killed me everywhere, and I forgave them for the sake of the overall situation.
I didn't expect these two to be unrepentant and ungrateful to dare to do this to me, slander me, slander me, and dare to sue His Highness! If he had killed the two of them at once, there would be no drama today!
I also softened my heart a little, my heart was kinder, and I really had to be ruthless with my enemies, leaving no room for trouble, and when she turned over in the future, I would not remember the kindness I forgave her once. A backbite is not good for me. ”
"Princess Zheng is very right! The slave maid never expected that Princess Fang and Zhilian would collude and treat you like this! Their methods of lying and fabricating are really more advanced than Miss Dai Rou! It's obviously harming others and hurting yourself, asking for your own hardships, but you don't admit it! It's ridiculous! Fang Yan couldn't get angry, and scolded angrily with the corners of her mouth.
Tang Anxia pulled down a branch with a hard force, his eyes were cold, he broke the branch into sections with both hands, threw it on the ground, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, since they took the initiative to declare war, they said that they didn't want to live safe and sound in the palace."
In that case, I don't have to be polite, I don't have to be soft-hearted, and I don't look ahead. I'm going to make the two of them pay the price, and I'm going to let them die a little better next time...... Zhilian is good to say, a slave maid, just find a reason to kill her.
Mengqi's death, I have to think about it, after all, she is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he was favored and promoted by the regent back then, and he has always been loyal to the palace, and now he protects His Royal Highness, and he is a loyal and good. Your Highness also has to take care of Xu Min's face, I can't make it difficult for Your Highness.
Therefore, Mengqi's death can't be done by herself, and she has to plot to let others kill her, just as she wants to use the queen to get rid of me. She never imagined that one day I would give her back the tricks I learned from her! I have to think about how I can kill her with one blow and let her die as she deserves. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Yan recalled the scene in the room just now, and couldn't help but show a worried look on her face: "Princess Zheng, did you say that His Royal Highness really believed us?" Mengqi and Zhilian said as if it were true, and they also put on a generous appearance of not caring, but we were furious, as if we had fallen for the trick, they deliberately provoked us! The slave was stupid at the time, and only reacted afterwards! ”
"Your Highness, he ......" Tang Anxia's mind came up with Li Junqi's appearance, his every move, the tone and look of his speech, suddenly, bitter sneer, "Your Highness understands me, and now I am still not the second lady of the Tang family."
If I really wanted to frame them, I would have done it. I love Your Highness, and a woman is jealous because of love, and Your Highness must understand. When he asked me again, he called himself 'this king', and he was obviously a little unfamiliar, but he still doubted it in his heart......"
Fang Yan immediately said anxiously: "Then do we want to explain clearly!" Send someone to find all the original witnesses, and explain the truth like His Highness! ”
"No need, the more you talk about it, the more Your Highness doesn't believe it, as if there are no three hundred taels of silver here, but you can't get abandoned. It's been a long time ago, His Highness wasn't in the Imperial City at that time, and he didn't know the situation at all, so let His Highness guess......"
Tang Anxia said lightly, her cold cheeks showed a touch of helplessness, and a trace of sadness faintly flashed in the depths of her clear eyes.
Before she changed, she would not hesitate to believe in Li Junqi, and Li Junqi would not hesitate to believe her.
When did they start to be suspicious?
Is it from Li Junqi that he decided to assist a generation of Ming monarchs to keep the glory of Prince Wen's Mansion and the peace of the General's Mansion? Standing in a higher position, having more power, has your mood changed?
Or did you find out that Princess Yue loved Li Junqi deeply, and even cherished the snow and fell in love with Li Junqi, and Mengqi was eyeing her, the opponents were too many and too powerful, and she felt inferior, and the strong sense of security that she once had was gradually destroyed?
A warm breeze blew, obviously it was a warm breeze in early summer, but Tang Anxia was so cold that he shrunk his neck and shivered: "Let's go back, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." ”
Not far away, Xixue stood in the bamboo pavilion in front of the guest room, staring at everything under the tree.
……
The market room.
Inside the carriage. Li Junqi quietly lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling crowd outside.
Ziyu couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, her handsome face leaned over, and asked loudly, "Your Highness, what happened to the princess just now?" ”
Li Junqi interrupted his questioning, and said with a heart like water: "It's already over, don't take it to heart, it's normal for women in the back house to intrigue, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt your life." We are the ministers of the previous dynasty, and our goal is very clear, to eradicate the enemy and assist the new emperor. As for the struggle between women, they have their own ways to solve it, as long as it does not affect our grand plan and hegemony, it is better to let it be foolish, or it is too boring and boring to be idle in the palace all day.
When I came back this time, the king saw that all the arrangements in the palace were in order, the subordinates who had originally excluded the princess had been reined in, and Aunt Yun was only responsible for serving me, and the other servants and maidservants were full of praise for the princess, and they were still talking privately about doing some small business to help the palace earn some silver......
The king knew at that time that a lot of things must have happened during the time he left the palace, which led to the phenomenon of harmony. Regardless of whether it is poisoned by the princess or not, the result is good, and the king is very satisfied, which is enough. This king chose to believe in the princess, the side princess lost, and the loser was a coward, so the king believed that she was framing others, it's as simple as that. ”
Ziyu was so shocked for a while that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, Li Junqi's growth was rapid, and he was originally very deep in the city, but now he has leapt to the point of being scheming.
Considering this matter, he actually analyzed it according to the pros and cons, not because he was affectionate and righteous to Princess Zheng, so he chose to believe it!?
