Boss Tao and Queen Tao, the brother and sister parted unhappily.

Empress Tao was annoyed.

In the past six months, the eldest brother has become less and less respectful to her.

A sweep of half the world on the side of the Qing monarch made the eldest brother a frightened bird.

Whenever there is a little trouble, he suspects that the Yellow Emperor wants to get rid of the Tao family.

"Hey......"

Empress Tao was tired.

Young Eunuch Mei said softly: "Niangniang, pay attention to take care of your body. ”

Empress Tao asked him, "Your Majesty hasn't been to Weiyang Palace for a few days?" ”

Young Eunuch Mei hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "I haven't been here for more than ten days. ”

"So long? Hongu didn't even notice it. ”

Young Eunuch Mei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has not gone to other concubines, and has been resting in Xingqing Palace these days. ”

Empress Tao lowered her head and smiled, "The war is not going well, the tax is halved, Your Majesty is in a depressed mood, and he is reluctant to come to the harem, these palaces are clear." I am afraid that the war in the south will not end for a while and a half. If the stalemate continues, the eldest brother's fears may come true. ”

"Mother, don't scare yourself." Young Eunuch Mei panicked.

Empress Tao raised her head suddenly, "It's really a critical juncture, in order to alleviate the war, do you guess Your Majesty will take the Tao family sacrifice flag?" ”

This......

Young Eunuch Mei didn't dare to say.

"It's okay for you to say it!" Empress Tao seemed extraordinarily calm.

Young Eunuch Mei whispered: "Your Majesty is kind, Niangniang may be too worried." ”

"Renhou?" Empress Tao seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke in the world, "Do you really think Your Majesty is benevolent?" ”

Young Eunuch Mei was silent.

Empress Tao laughed at herself, "The Xiao royal family has never had a benevolent person. No, the former 'Prince Zhangyi' is barely a benevolent person. It's a pity that in the royal family, benevolent people don't live long. ”

Young Eunuch Mei remained silent.

Empress Tao didn't expect him to be able to share the burden for herself, she said to herself: "The eldest brother is worried, this palace understands." Your Majesty is worried, and this palace also understands. But who really understands the idea of this palace? ”

"Niangniang is tired, do you want to rest for a while?" Young Eunuch Mei suggested cautiously.

Empress Tao rubbed her eyebrows, "It's an eventful time, and this palace can't rest." His Majesty was slow to affirm the position of prince, especially when the Tao family helped him kill the five princes and kings......"

Speaking of this, Queen Tao's brows furrowed, and her mood became more and more gloomy.

After a long time, she muttered to herself, "Maybe it's time to prepare for the worst." ”

When Young Eunuch Mei heard this, he trembled, his heart was terrified, but his face was as calm as ever.

He kept his head down, trying to lower his presence.

……

Boss Tao left the palace, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

The Tao family can carry the pot for Queen Tao, and can carry the pot for His Royal Highness the Third Prince, why should they carry the pot for Princess Dingtao.

Which onion is Princess Dingtao, in addition to causing trouble, it is also a trouble.

Tao Lao's atmosphere was not smooth, so he came up with a very damaging solution.

He instructed the steward beside him, "The weather is very cold, and Princess Dingtao is afraid that she hasn't eaten well and slept well these days." You, go to the market and pick an old hen, kill it, and give Princess Tao to send it. said that the official loved her and specially sent an old hen to make soup for her. ”

The steward looked confused, "Send it, send it, send the old hen, kill it?" ”

Boss Tao's eyes widened, "Didn't you hear what the official said, do you want to say it a second time?" ”

The steward shook his head again and again, "The little one will go to the market, select the old hen, kill it, and send it to Princess Tao." ”

"Remember, pick a fat old hen and send it."

"The little one understands."

The steward left in a hurry, carried out the orders of Boss Tao without discount, carried a plucked fat old hen to Princess Dingtao's mansion, and sent the gift to Princess Dingtao.

Knowing that her uncle sent someone to give gifts, Princess Dingtao was quite happy.

She thought that her uncle's gift was precious jewelry, or precious medicinal herbs, or other precious objects......

Until she opened the wooden box, a fat old hen, plucked and bare, appeared in her sight.

"Ah...... What the hell is this? ”

Dingtao was frightened by an old hen.

To be precise, she just opened her brain and came up with a list of ten thousand gifts, and she couldn't think of the old hen's head.

"This is definitely not a gift from my uncle, it must be you, a cheap slave, who is arrogant. Someone came, arrested him, and tortured him severely, who sent him to send this disgusting thing to this palace. ”

The steward of the Tao family shouted wronged, "Her Royal Highness the princess Mingjian, it is indeed my family's adult who ordered the little one to send an old hen to make up for the princess's body." My lord said that the weather is very cold, and Her Royal Highness the princess can't eat and sleep well these days, and this old hen is the heart of my lord, stewed soup, which is the most suitable for replenishment. ”

"Dare to quibble! Uncle feels sorry for this palace, how can he send an old hen. The huge princess's mansion, is there still a lack of this old hen? ”

"But the little one is telling the truth! If Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't believe it, you can ask a few guards who came to the princess's mansion with Xiao. They have seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears. ”

The steward of the Tao family was crying in his heart, and he knew that this errand was annoying.

I'm almost going to be tortured, so pitiful!

There are so many people who give gifts these days, who is more pitiful than him?

The princess's own capable subordinates went to inquire about the guards of the Tao family, and got the same statement as the steward.

It was Lord Tao who personally instructed to send a hen to Princess Tao.

Princess Dingtao looked confused and didn't understand at all, "What does my uncle mean by giving me a hen?" Who can solve the puzzle for Hongu? ”

The subordinates bowed their heads one after another, and no one dared to speak.

"Are you dumb when you speak?" Dingtao was furious, kicked over the small stool, and pointed to a maid, "You say, why did my uncle give me a hen?" ”

"The slave is stupid, please punish Your Highness!" The maid knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

The other subordinates followed suit, kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty.

Princess Dingtao's blood was surging, obviously angry.

She pointed to the steward of the Tao family and asked sharply, "You say, why did my uncle give an old hen to this palace?" ”

The steward of the Tao family looked confused, "The little one doesn't know!" The little one also wanted to ask, but the face of the adult in my family was very scary at that time, so I didn't dare to ask. ”

"I don't know if I ask three questions, get out, get out of the palace!"

If the steward of the Tao family is amnesty, get out of here.

No one can give Princess Tao an accurate answer.

What to do?

Dingtao immediately sent someone, "Go and invite the third brother!" ”

She doesn't understand the meaning of her uncle's gift, and the third brother must understand.

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, got the news and rushed to Princess Dingtao's mansion as soon as possible.

When Princess Dingtao saw her brother, she couldn't help crying, "Third brother, you're finally here." My uncle sent someone to bring me an old hen with plucking feathers, you see, this is it, what does it mean? When I saw this old hen, I felt sick to myself. If it weren't for you, I would have had the old hen thrown away. ”

Xiao Chengyi glanced at the old hen in the box, and he couldn't die anymore.

He looked away and stared at Princess Dingtao, "You really don't know the meaning of this gift from your uncle?" ”

Princess Dingtao was aggrieved, "If I knew, could I invite you to come?" ”

Xiao Chengyi sighed, "You really didn't understand such an obvious meaning." ”

Princess Dingtao was furious, "Third brother, can you stop selling Guanzi, you tell me first, what does your uncle mean." ”

Xiao Chengyi said solemnly: "Uncle sent you a good old hen, which means to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." ”

Princess Dingtao was stunned, shocked and stunned.

She shook her head again and again, "Third brother, did you misunderstand?" ”

Xiao Chengyi said with certainty: "I can't be wrong, I just kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." ”

"Why is that? Why did my uncle send a dead chicken, why did he kill a chicken to make an example of a monkey? "Dingtao has a lawsuit.

Xiao Chengyi frowned, "Obviously, my uncle already knows about you sending someone to assassinate Yan Yunge. Recently, my father and emperor made personnel transfers in the court, and more than half of the officials were involved in the Tao family. The Tao family suffered an unwarranted disaster because of you, and my uncle just sent someone to send a dead chicken, which was already extremely restrained. ”

Princess Dingtao's expression changed again and again, and she suddenly erupted, "Why do you put all the responsibility on my head? I sent someone to assassinate Yan Yunge, what does it have to do with my father's transfer of officials in the court? You're slandering! ”

Xiao Chengyi didn't expect Dingtao to react like this.

He was a little angry, "Then tell me, why did my father move the officials of the court at this time?" ”

"How do I know. Perhaps because of the stalemate in the south, his father was angry with the Tao family. ”

"What you say is reasonable, my father may be angry with the Tao family. But the cause of all this lies with you. If you hadn't sent someone to assassinate Yan Yunge, the matter would not be secret, and my father would not have angered the Tao family at this time. ”

Ding Tao smiled coldly, "So, you all think it's all my fault?" My uncle was angry with me and sent someone to send an old hen, did I deserve it? ”

Xiao Chengyi grimaced, "Aren't you wrong?" ”

Dingtao roared, "I was wrong! My biggest mistake was that I didn't kill Yan Yunge! ”

Xiao Chengyi looked helpless, "If you think so, that's it, I'll take this chicken away and dispose of it for you." Uncle's place, I'll go there myself. ”

Ding Tao looked angry and remained silent.

She can't pull her face, and she can't compensate the third brother.

She only felt aggrieved, not angry.

Yan Yunge provoked her by an outsider, forget it.

My uncle actually killed a chicken to make an example of a monkey, sent someone to send a chicken to warn her, and ridiculed her.

The attitude of her relatives made her very cold and angry.

In the past, she had never suffered such humiliation.

In the past, the Tao family was up and down, and no one followed her and spoiled her.

As soon as something happens, he turns his face.

Dare to send chickens and warn Her Royal Highness the princess.

Outrageous!

All of this is because of Yan Yunge.

Princess Dingtao picked up the teacup and smashed it down.

She and Yan Yunge are incompatible!
