Chapter 304: Out of Beijing
Only she is beautiful, and her figure is extremely enchanting, and in the entire harem, except for Concubine Chen, her appearance can be regarded as the second.
And she has been with Qi Jingheng for a very long time, and she has been married to Qi Jingheng in his mansion since he became the emperor, and she was also a good concubine at that time.
Before Concubine Chen entered the palace, she had always been the most favored one, and it was precisely because of her favor that after Qi Jingheng ascended the throne, she became the only concubine in the harem who gave birth to a prince.
And the prince she gave birth to is naturally the eldest son of today, Qi Xuanyu.
This child is also competitive, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, because he is grateful that she has been with him for so many years, so although Qi Jingheng no longer loves her now, the concubine position given to Concubine Hui is still not low, and the child can also be raised by her own side.
Now Qi Xuanyu is also three or four years old, but Qi Jingheng's harem has no second one besides this prince.
It's okay if other concubines give birth, but now it's the queen mother who is pregnant with the dragon heir, so if the child born is a girl, if it's a boy, it's the eldest son, and he firmly pressed Qi Xuanyu in terms of status.
It may be that she has been in a high position for a long time, and Concubine Hui has long lost her original simplicity and innocence, not to mention that Sheng Zhong is not there, and she has gradually aged and decrepitized.
Now she has already understood that the emperor's favor is all floating clouds, maybe it will be gone when it will be, but the child will not, the child will always be her own child.
After such a long time, she has become accustomed to the ability of those minions to bully others, because she is not favored, so those minions do not treat her as hard as they used to.
Fortunately, she has a child, and she is the only prince in the entire Beihuan Dynasty, for the sake of the little prince's face, no one dares to say no word to her.
But if the queen mother gives birth to a child, then everything will be different, and her emperor is no longer the only prince, then their status will definitely plummet.
It is with this thought that this person, who has been a mother for three or four years, finally extended his hand to other people's children.
She tried to murder the child in the queen's womb, but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and in the end she only wanted to get rid of this method.
After all, Concubine Hui spent a lot more time in the harem than the queen mother, and the queen mother had been unfavored in the past few years, but she had children by her side, so she naturally had more henchmen around her than the queen mother.
The people she planted in the queen's palace were originally just afraid that the queen would be jealous of her having a child and wanted to murder Qi Xuanyu, so she was on guard in advance.
I didn't expect the queen mother to start acting yet, so she came in handy now.
In fact, things are not without a trace, after all, the child in the queen's womb is the biggest threat to Qi Xuanyu's status, but Concubine Hui has always been a role in Qi Jingheng's mind.
He couldn't imagine it at all, but in the past few years, she has grown to such a ruthless and vicious state.
When the news was handed out from the palace, Lin Zuiliu was stunned, she had always thought that someone above the court had attacked the queen.
After all, she didn't know much about the emperor's harem, and she didn't expect that the murderer behind the scenes would be Concubine Hui.
She opened her mouth wide, turned her eyes to Liao Luan, who told her the news, and was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "Really? She is also too bold, this is the emperor's first concubine. How much he attaches importance to it, we can all see that she dares to ......"
Liao Luan has probably seen too much of this, and now his expression is only faint, "There are many such things in the family, but there are more harems, everyone has to find a way out for themselves, and they only distinguish between serious means and improper means." ”
This was said thoroughly, Lin Zuiliu rarely saw him look so indifferent, pursed his lips, and it was difficult to hide the sour meaning in his tone.
"So if you take a concubine in the future, will I have to do this?"
They were just discussing this matter, Liao Luan didn't expect that things would suddenly lead to him, he was stunned by this question, and then laughed a little.
Seeing that Lin Zuiliu seemed to really care about this problem, and the expression on his face was also a little sad, he withdrew his smile, reached out quite seriously, and dragged Lin Zuiliu over.
"Aliu." His tone was serious, and his face was also very serious, "I once promised you that you will be the only lady in my life, and what I have said in the past will always be counted now and in the future." ”
Lin Zuiliu was embarrassed to admit that he was really moved, born in ancient times, Liao Luan can have such a mind now, and he has fully expressed his love for himself.
Since he could make such a statement, Lin Zuiliu didn't want to dwell on this kind of boring question with him anymore, she lay on the table and sighed.
"I don't think it's really necessary, one day the queen will give birth to a prince, why should she ......"
Although she said that, Lin Zuiliu also understood a little bit in her heart why Concubine Hui did this.
It's nothing more than that her man is unreliable, and the person she wants to rely on most in the rest of her life has become a son.
This is also the sad thing about ancient women, their lives, after they got married in the prime of life, except for their husbands, they only had children.
If you marry well, it is equivalent to rebirth, if you marry badly, then the remaining half of your life will only be miserable, and there will be no happy days.
Her face flickered and darkened, and after so much time she had traveled here, she finally felt that the ancient times were really different from the free place where she lived.
"Don't worry." Liao Luan stretched out his hand, patted Lin Zuiliu's head, and comforted: "The emperor is a Ming monarch, and he will definitely solve this problem well." ”
"Am I afraid that this problem will not be solved? It has nothing to do with me. Lin Zuiliu stretched out her hand and patted her head, Liao Luan quickly retracted her hand, and then she successfully slapped her head this time.
She glared angrily at the happy Liao Luan, who was smiling to herself, reached out and rubbed her head, and sighed.
"Forget it, anyway, I have a lot of things to worry about myself, I don't have time to care about others, let the emperor worry about it himself." After speaking, Lin Zuiliu got up directly and shouted, "Cui He, come in and help me coil my hair." ”
She had her hair scattered when she was napping, and her hair was as long as her buttocks, but now she was wearing a white middle coat, looking like a female ghost.
Concubine Hui is just the daughter of a small official, just because she is full of honor, so Concubine Hui's family is also rising.
Her father's official position was promoted, and now he is also a four-grade member, and after this incident, the emperor acted vigorously and resolutely, directly removed her father's official position, and sent her into the cold palace, and the child was directly raised by Concubine Shugui.
Concubine Shu has been in the harem for so many years, and there is no movement in her stomach at all, and she is already depressed, so she will feel even more jealous and unbearable when she sees the queen's belly bulging.
Now that Qi Jingheng has raised Qi Xuanyu for her, it can be regarded as being able to comfort her temporarily.
Things in the palace here started vigorously and ended plainly, and no one in the entire capital really cared except for the concubine's own home.
Lin Zuiliu only heard that Concubine Hui finally couldn't bear it anymore after begging for a while, and committed suicide in the cold palace.
But this is already what happened later, and now Lin Zuiliu is picking out the clothes that Mrs. Liao wears when she goes out.
She had never gone out with an old man, and she only thought that if she was too young, she would look frivolous, but if she was too old-fashioned, it really didn't look good.
In the end, Liao Luan was determined to do things, and picked out a purple orchid long-sleeved skirt for her, the orchid is a symbol of nobility, and it is quite suitable to wear purple and show the delicate appearance of the little daughter.
Mrs. Liao is not used to riding in a carriage with the same person, although Lin Zuiliu thinks that she is making excuses, but she is also happy, so she is very happy to prepare two.
Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luan sat in the car in the back, and Mrs. Liao took Liu Ziying to sit in the car in front, which was still the one Mrs. Liao sat in when she came back from Luojun, so it looked quite luxurious.
However, it seems that the carriage behind it is simple and shabby, and there is no garden to visit on Suzaku Street, and if they went out to play, they would have to go to a farther place.
So everyone made an appointment in the other village of Pinghuai Hou's mansion.
Mrs. Pinghuai Hou is a merchant family with unlimited wealth, so there are many other villages, and the terrain is very good.
Although the place of Zhennan Wangfu itself is very good, but to be able to go to other people's villages, Yidong and Yichun still seem very excited, which attracted Lin Zuiliu to ridicule him.
This way walked directly for half an hour, and by the time everyone arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, Lin Zuiliu was already quite uncomfortable with back pain.
Yidong helped her get out of the carriage, and she immediately saw another old lady at the door of Zhuangzi.
This old lady looked graceful and luxurious, wearing an earthy brown lotus brocade robe, with her hair coiled high, and she looked very powerful.
"You're finally here, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon, and it's easy for you to come back." When the man saw Mrs. Liao, he hurriedly stepped forward to meet Mrs. Liao, and the two held hands and greeted each other for a while, looking at the relationship quite good.
"I didn't expect my grandmother to have such a good sister." Lin Zuiliu sighed and said, in her opinion, the old lady should be like this, and there are no sisters.
Liao Luan didn't have a good relationship with his grandmother, so he just nodded slightly. "I heard that the relationship is good, my grandmother's maiden family has a good relationship with the two families of Pinghuai Hou Taijun, and they have been playing together since childhood."
