Chapter 1: Drowning
The overwhelming feeling of suffocation made Tao Mingxi's consciousness wake up from the numbness, and a large mouthful of water choked in her lungs was spit out by external force, and at the same time, her closed eyes also opened suddenly.
"Princess! Princess, you're awake! ”
The slightly immature cry in his ears made Tao Mingxi's frightened brain gradually calm down, and after a while, it finally functioned normally.
Princess? She's in ...... Call yourself?
This thought made Tao Mingxi shocked, and she hurriedly gritted her teeth to support her body and looked around.
In front of her eyes, it was a plainly dressed little girl, and she was followed by two wet young men.
The three of them are all dressed in ancient costumes, and even they wear long skirts.
"You...... What did you just call me? ”
The little girl looked stunned, and said, "The king, the princess? ”
Tao Mingxi felt that he had a headache, a pain that went deep into his soul.
Didn't she drown, why did she still cross over?
Fortunately, she has always been easy to accept the reality, and if she comes, she will be safe, take a step and see one step at a time, maybe she shouldn't die?
"Take me back first."
The little girl nodded, looking a little dumbfounded.
Back in his small courtyard, Tao Mingxi looked around.
It's okay, although the furnishings are simple and plain, but at least it's a lot better than the ordinary people's homes I've seen on TV.
And the location is good, the environment is also very secluded, she likes it.
It can be seen that even if this princess is not favored, she is not treated harshly.
"Pearl, how could I be drowning?"
On the way back, she had already asked the little girl's name.
Pearls walked into the room, turned around and closed the door, and whispered, "Yes...... It's the side concubine and the third lady. ”
According to Zhu'er's description, the drowned princess was a poor child who had never been favored, a princess from Fuyang who came all the way from Fuyang and was ordered to marry the current fifth prince. The fifth princess was timid by nature, and marrying in a foreign country made her depressed, and she locked herself in the house all day long, and did not deal with people. When the concubines in the palace saw it, they moved their minds, thinking that if the five princesses died, they would have the opportunity to fight for the position of princess, anyway, now this princess is nothing, to put it mildly, it is to occupy the pit and not.
After figuring out the relationship between the characters, Tao Mingxi also knew what his current situation was, nothing more than that he was not treated by the prince and was hated by the concubines everywhere.
It's not a big problem, but it can still be dealt with.
"Go, call me all those side concubines and wives."
She learned from Zhu'er that Fuyang is a neutral country, although the national strength is not strong, it is a small country, but it is a hub between the three major countries, no matter which country it goes to, Fuyang is the only way to go, so the three big countries easily dare not offend her mother country.
It's easy to do in this way, let alone a mere prince, even the emperor doesn't dare to embarrass her, so if she teaches a few concubines, who dares to trouble her?
Zhu'er didn't know what her master's intentions were, but she still called everyone according to her wishes.
At first, Tao Mingxi thought that no matter how many concubines there were, it was impossible to exceed the number of one hand, right? Knowing that there were more than a dozen women with heavy makeup standing in the room, she realized that she was the third wife and four concubines who underestimated the ancients.
Gee...... With so many women, these five princes are not afraid of getting sick?
"Sister Princess, what is the matter with you coming to us?"
It was the side concubine Sun who was standing at the front who spoke, and Fang Zhu'er mentioned that she was one of the masterminds who designed to drown.
Looking at her, Tao Mingxi suddenly chuckled.
"I don't have a sister like you, every imperial heir of Fuyang Kingdom is registered, not just any cat or dog can claim to be my sister."
As soon as these words came out, the ladies who had always been at odds with the Sun family immediately covered their mouths and snickered.
Seeing this, Sun's original form was immediately revealed.
She glared fiercely, eager to devour Tao Mingxi alive.
"I called you sister because you were still sitting in the position of the princess, if you didn't have the identity of the princess, do you think you can still have a foothold in the palace!"
Tao Mingxi felt that this Sun family was really a little ridiculous, "Even if I am not a princess, I am still the fifth princess of Fuyang Kingdom." Why, do you want to see my power as the princess of Fuyang Kingdom? ”
Hearing this, Sun was stunned, but soon, she looked at Tao Mingxi fiercely again, and said, "You are just a victim of being sent out and kissed, and you are less alarmist." ”
"Really?" Tao Mingxi hooked his lips, "Then if I report the matter of your joint murder to the Fuyang envoy, what will be the consequences?" ”
"You!" When Sun heard this, his face turned white as soon as he brushed it.
Not only that, but the concubines behind him also changed their faces greatly, and they knelt down directly with some fear.
They were more or less aware of this matter, but they didn't get involved or stop it, and they always had the mentality of snipe and clam competing for fishermen's profits.
But who knows, not only did the princess not die, but her personality suddenly changed drastically, and she called them all over to be held accountable!
"Don't talk nonsense! How could we have murdered you! ”
Tao Mingxi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is it? Then I enjoyed the lotus in the Lake Pavilion, how could I fall into the water? Is it hard or I can't think of it myself? ”
Sun bit his lip and forced himself to compose.
She told herself that Tao Mingxi must have been just bluffing, and according to her previous temperament, most of this time was also the idea that the maid gave her behind her back.
Thinking of this, Sun immediately turned his gaze to Zhu'er.
Zhu'er felt the grim gaze and couldn't help but shudder.
"It must be you who is chewing your tongue behind your back! Come on, drag this dead girl out of my mouth and slap it! ”
"I'll see who dares to touch her!" Tao Mingxi snorted coldly, and his sharp gaze swept around the people present.
There was no sound, and no one dared to move.
Nonsense, this is the aura she has cultivated over the years.
I think that at the beginning, I relied on this momentum to subdue those felons in prison.
She was also once rated as an outstanding prison guard in Shuyang City and was commended by the Provincial Public Security Department!
"Come on, tie up the side concubine Sun, the third lady, and the sixth lady! Zhu'er, let someone go and inform Envoy Zhao. ”
Tao Mingxi gave an order, and the maids and mothers-in-law who originally followed these women couldn't help but look at each other, and finally unanimously decided to do what she said.
The Third Lady and the Sixth Lady remained silent from beginning to end, and the Sixth Lady even allowed them to tie her up very obediently when the two maids came to tie her up.
As for the Sun family, he naturally refused to give up.
"Why did you let people tie us up! When the prince comes back, he will definitely not let you go! ”
"Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it, after all, I haven't seen the prince since I married into the palace. It's still a blessing to drag the side concubine, so that I can meet the prince! ”
Tao Mingxi's words succeeded in making Sun shut up in anger.
But at this moment, Zhu'er, who was sent to ask for an envoy, suddenly turned back.
Behind him, there was a man.
