Chuxiu Palace.

Except for the dead Pei Shan, the nine show girls learned the etiquette in the palace and the rules of the concubines with Jiang Rong every day, and they were busy from morning to night, as if Pei Shan had never appeared.

Fang Yan sometimes sighed in Tang Anxia's ear: "Girl, people are really ruthless animals, you said that they knew that Pei Shan had died, but they could still adapt to life in the palace all day long as if nothing happened, and they were thinking about climbing up, don't they feel afraid of the murderer who really killed Pei Shan?" The other show girls, are they so at ease? ”

Tang Anxia smiled indifferently, her clear and deep eyes flowed, her eyes were full of brilliance, she said: "This palace is the world of deceit, and the people in the house still do not hesitate to stain their hands with blood in order to seek their own interests, let alone the palace." How can people who have seen gold, silver, jewelry, and power be willing to be ordinary? Willing to be a stepping stone for others? They are bound to step on countless people and climb higher. Not to mention the death of one person, even if it is ten or eight dead, as long as they are alive by themselves. ”

Yuhua is accustomed to it, after all, she and Aunt Li have been in the palace, and the masters they serve have also fallen victim to the harem battle, and they have been implicated because of this, so for Yuhua, the battle in Chuxiu Palace is nothing compared to the concubines competing for favor.

The news that the third lady of the General's Mansion was going to marry the prime minister soon spread to Chuxiu Palace.

At noon, after eating, Manwen shook his slender figure, walked in front of Tang Anxia and Tang Wanning, and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, do you two still have the leisure to taste dim sum here?" Also, your sister is going to marry my father, which is a great joy, can you not be happy? My father is really, there are a group of wives and concubines in the family, but he wants to marry again, the older he is, the more he likes the young girl's family, and he can't listen to it! ”

Without waiting for Tang Anxia to open her mouth to refute, Tang Wanning stood up first, picked at Danfengyan, who was the same as her mother, and sneered: "Hehe, that can only show that the prime minister is an old and indecent thing, marrying so many wives and concubines, and coveting my sister's beauty, it is really embarrassing, and the reputation of the prime minister has been mistaken in vain." ”

"You!?" Man Wen was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to hit Tang Wanning in the face.

However, her wrist was grabbed by Aunt Wang fiercely and she couldn't move at all.

Aunt Wang threw her arm aside, and Manwen almost fell, thanks to the handmaid's support.

Manwen was not convinced, straightened his waist and scolded: "Okay, you bold!" Even I dare to do it? I think you're getting impatient! Come! Get her out of the palace for me! ”

Tang Wan raised her face and looked at Man Wen arrogantly: "You dare!" She is my maid's maid, and it is only natural to protect me, and I will reward her for her work! ”

Man Wen gritted her teeth in anger, she wanted to sarcastically ridicule the daughter of the Tang family, but now she was laughed at by others, she stared at her round eyes, blushed and said: "What are you arrogant!?" A mere general's mansion, isn't it going to send my daughter to my father and curry favor with my father? And Tang Anxia, if it weren't for my father, he would have been able to save you? The queen is willing to let you go for the sake of the face of our Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

Tang Anxia put down the bamboo chopsticks unhurriedly, raised her eyelids and looked at Manwen indifferently, the corners of her mouth lightly provoked a mocking arc, and said calmly: "You are right, my sister married your father, it is your little mother, Wan Ning and I are your little sisters, please call us 'aunt' in the future, otherwise it will seem that you are the eldest daughter of a big family, and you don't understand the dignity of your concubine, so we are your elders, you are so presumptuous, isn't it embarrassing for the general's mansion?" ”

"You! You are shameless! ”

Man Wen was so angry that he stomped his feet, his lips trembled, and his fierce eyes spewed flames: "A martial artist of the Tang family, you are worthy of being the descendants of barbarians, I disdain to be in the same stream with you, so as not to lower my status!" Someone like you will be cleaned up! ”

Her eyes darkened, and she flicked away with uncontrollable rage.

Tang Anxia glanced at Tang Wanning, this was the first time that the two sisters supported each other to fight against outsiders, and they maintained the reputation of the Tang family, which can be described as a victory.

Tang Wanning also looked at Tang Anxia with abnormal eyes, it seemed that many years ago, when she was a child, she also regarded Tang Anxia as her most beloved sister, and that affection gradually rose in her heart, and she was inexplicably a little moved.

It's just that they have grown up and are no longer the sisters they used to be.

The next day, there were only three days left before the prime minister's wedding.

Chu Xiugong is learning the craft of female red, and Tang Anxia is embroidering a splendid picture of roses with a needle and a thread.

In front of the palace gate, there was a "queen arrived"!

Jiang Rong led everyone to stand up immediately and wait for the driver.

The chief eunuch Gao Li walked at the front and shouted to everyone: "Bow down!" ”

The people all over the courtyard knelt down and saluted: "See the queen mother!" ”

Tang Anxia felt uneasy in her heart, she had been thinking for the past few days, according to the tricks of her previous life, the day of the wedding was the day of the destruction of the General's Mansion, so how could she stop this battle between the front and back houses?

Racking my brains and staying awake all night, I couldn't find a good way.

The night before, Li Junqi sent someone to send a message in, saying that Songze and Duwei Haozhe had both started to act, and I was afraid that something big would happen, so that Tang Anxia Mingzhe could protect himself and not consider others.

Li Junqi didn't know that this big event was actually the destruction of the Tang family.

The queen's arrogant gaze swept around, and her tone was cold, mixed with a bit of majesty: "Get up, Aunt Jiang Rong, can they keep to themselves recently?" ”

Jiang Rong blessed her body: "Back to the queen's mother, the show girls carefully study the etiquette rules every day, and they don't dare to slack off." ”

The queen bowed slightly, paced back and forth in front of the show girl, and said in a reprimanding tone: "This is very good, there is no room for sand in the eyes of this palace, you all cheer up, there is still more than half a month left before the prince chooses a concubine, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, four books and five classics, female virtues, must be kept in mind, and the concubines of each palace will come to watch on that day, don't make a fool of yourself." ”

The show girls said in unison: "Yes, the courtiers remember the teachings of the queen." ”

The queen's steps stopped in front of Tang Anxia, and then walked to Tang Wanning's side, her smart eyes hidden cunning, and her eyebrows were light, giving people a sense of luxury.

Her scarlet lips opened: "You two pack up, leave Chuxiu Palace immediately, go back to the General's Mansion, and participate in the wedding ceremony of the Prime Minister and the third lady of the Tang family." Wait until the wedding feast is over, and then you will come back. ”

Tang Anxia lowered her eyes and immediately understood the queen's intentions, she and the prime minister really colluded to wipe out the Tang family and cut the grass to the roots.

Tang Wanning was completely unaware of the impending risk, and she respectfully blessed her body: "Yes, the courtiers will obey the will of the mother." ”

The queen's cold eyes turned to Tang Anxia, and she couldn't wait for her reply, she always felt uneasy, Liu Ye's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said coldly: "Tang Anxia, didn't you hear the words of this palace?" ”

Tang Anxia pretended to be stunned, and replied with low eyebrows: "Niangniang, the courtiers don't want to go back to the house, and they don't want to participate in the banquet of the Prime Minister and the Third Lady. ”

"Presumptuous!" The queen was furious, but she was suspicious in her heart, this girl shouldn't have heard any rumors!

Tang Anxia hurriedly knelt on her knees, kowtowed, and said: "Niangniang, the courtiers and the third lady of the Tang family are incompatible, when she was in the house, she framed me many times, did a lot of things that were sorry for me, and almost took my life, whether she married or not, she has nothing to do with the courtiers, let alone marrying the prime minister, even if she married into the palace, the courtiers will not go to congratulate!" ”

The queen hesitated, this reason is reasonable, maybe Tang Anxia didn't know about the emperor's secret decree, so she persuaded: "No matter what, the great joy of the General's Mansion, you have to go back." Your sister Tang Wanning has gone back, if you stay in the palace, you know that you and the third lady are not in harmony, I don't know, I think that I, the queen, are not benevolent enough! ”

Tang Anxia glanced at the silent Manwen, raised his face and replied confidently: "Manwen, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, can also stay in the palace, it is also a happy day, why can't I stay in the palace?" I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion also set up a banquet, and the whole house celebrated. ”

When Manwen heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "My father is marrying a concubine, why bother me?" ”

Seeing this, the queen thought in her heart that her goal was to let the two daughters of the Tang family return to the General's Mansion, so that they could easily catch them all, and it didn't matter if they sacrificed Manwen.

simply, his dignified face revealed the city mansion, and he said indifferently: "Manwen, Tang Anxia should go back to the mansion, you are the eldest daughter of the prime minister, and you really want to go back to have a look." Tang Wanning, Tang Anxia and Manwen, the three of them can leave Chuxiu Palace, and when the wedding day of the Prime Minister's Mansion is over, come back, and the three of you can retreat. ”

Tang Wanning and Manwen had thousands of reluctances in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey the queen, and blessed and said: "Yes, the courtiers obey the queen's will." ”

The queen looked at Tang Anxia again, waiting for the expected answer.

Tang Anxia lowered his eyes, exuding a sweet smell of bluegrass, if he left Chuxiu Palace, he might be able to find a way to rescue the General's Mansion.

So, she responded: "Yes, the courtiers are ready to leave the palace." ”

The queen suddenly remembered something, and said: "Your personal maidservants should also take it back with you, they are all from your mother's family, and it will be lively and lively when you go back together." ”

"Yes." The show girls replied.

On the way back, Tang Anxia had mixed feelings in her heart, she knew that in three days, the General's Mansion would face a catastrophe.

She fought alone, and now the wedding has become known to everyone, and hundreds of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are watching the play, and the prime minister and others have prepared swords, ready to slaughter the fat of the general's mansion at any time. Didn't the General's Mansion notice their actions? Maybe I noticed it, but I didn't imagine that it would be so serious that it would destroy the door.

Tang Anxia decided to test his father.

The first thing she did when she returned home was to go to Tang Zhentian's room and ask what was going on.

Tang Zhentian was studying the book of war with relish, Tang Anxia observed him closely, the years did not leave too many traces on his face, on the contrary, his eyebrows faded away from the immature atmosphere, and he became more mature and domineering.

Such a man, who died in the fire of the unjustified disaster, was loyal, but was slandered as a rebel, all because he and the prime minister could not be together, the prime minister wanted to eliminate dissidents and consolidate the position of the court.

"I've heard, you and Wanning have both returned home." Tang Zhentian raised his head and closed the book, his voice was thick.

Tang Anxia nodded: "Yes, the queen said that we should attend my sister's wedding, so she ordered us to leave Chuxiu Palace." I just don't know...... Do we still have a life to go back? ”

Tang Anxia was tempting, and the dark light under his eyes flickered with waves.

Tang Zhentian was stunned for a moment, although his face was calm and calm, as if he was an immovable Mount Tai, his tone was soaked in incomprehension: "Oh? What does this mean? Waiting for your sister's marriage to end, you and Wanning will go back to the palace to prepare for the selection of concubines, and there will be no delay. ”

Father had no idea!

Tang Anxia was very sure that his father was completely defenseless against the conspiracy of the prime minister and others.

"Father, everyone in the Tang family will gather in the General's Mansion that day, right?"

Tang Zhentian responded: "Yes." ”

Tang Anxia pursed her thin white lips, her eyes fluttered, and she secretly hidden, and proposed: "Father, daughter thinks that there are many people, and some unexpected situations will inevitably occur, so it is better to arrange for generals and soldiers in the army to protect the safety of the general's mansion, what do you think?" ”

Tang Zhentian said: "You have thought it through, and this is exactly what your father intended, after all, I have a bad heart for Prime Minister Lund, and it is impossible to fully trust it, I have already instructed my subordinate Haozhe to arrange, so that 1,000 elite soldiers and soldiers can be on call at any time, ambushed inside and outside the mansion, in case of a dangerous situation, you can ensure the safety of the general's mansion, you can rest assured, for my father I know it, how can I be calculated by the prime minister!" ”

Tang Anxia was speechless for a while.

The father took into account that there might be changes, and there might be strange things.

However, he did everything he could, but he didn't think that Du Wei Haozhe, who had been following him for many years and had always been by his side, was actually a complete traitor! Haozhe has long been loyal to the prime minister! Empty mouth and white teeth, even if he said this, his father would not believe it.

Simply, Tang Anxia found another reason, sighed and said, "Father, Haozhe is unreliable. His daughter died in the Chuxiu Palace a few days ago, and the queen recognized me as having murdered Pei Shan. He also arrested me and went to the Governor's Mansion, these things are vivid, how can he help us wholeheartedly? Although the queen mother claims to have found the real culprit and cleared my suspicion, but what happened in the middle, Haozhe knows it well, and he is no longer a loyal subordinate to you! What if, he still wants to avenge his daughter? ”

Tang Zhentian fell into deep thought, he has always been the affairs of the previous dynasty and the affairs of the back house, and he has always distinguished very clearly, and there has never been a mistake or confusion.

However, Haozhe is not necessarily such a person.

"That's it, I'll arrange an adjutant to do this, the newly promoted Adjutant Qian is upright, and I will leave the matter of arranging ambushes to him to prepare."

After that, Tang Zhentian looked at Tang Anxia in surprise and sighed: "You have grown up, and you are no longer the ignorant girl you were at the beginning, and you are very happy for your father." ”
