Chapter 42: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest

Seeing that the hour was approaching, it was not a solution for everyone to be so deadlocked, so Xiaoli took the opportunity to come out to play a round.

She saluted Shuangshuang first, and then blessed the rest of the female officials before she opened her mouth to persuade: "Niangniang is angry, according to the slave maid, your palace clothes today with a phoenix crown to go to the banquet are indeed brilliant, and the aunts are also acting on orders, whether they wear it or not, they can't make the decision." If you don't want to wear a phoenix crown today, then change to the crown princess's golden crown, anyway, your country is fragrant, and you look good in anything. ”

Xiao Li's mouth is really amazing, first she said all the good things in front of Shuangshuang, and cleverly said that this matter is the golden crown that Niangniang likes the princess more, in case the prince blames it afterwards, it is not the fault of these female officials, and the matter is over

Xiao Li saw that Shuangshuang's expression softened a little, and said to several female officials with a smile:

"A few aunts don't pestle, in case you really miss the time because of this little thing, you will really be beaten."

Seeing that what Xiaoli said was reasonable, everyone no longer insisted, and began to change their makeup.

Shuangshuang couldn't help but glance at the little pear next to him, chuckled lightly in his heart, and the corners of his eyes were slightly profound: This new little palace maid has great skills, sharp teeth and mouth, and has no scruples, she doesn't look like an ordinary palace maid at all, who sent it? What was the purpose of her visit to the Champs-Nord?

Shuangshuang thought a lot at once, and couldn't help frowning and worrying, and the whole heart was full of trouble.

She never expected that she had fallen into such a field, and some people regarded herself as a thorn in her side and wanted to get rid of it quickly. It seems that you can't be careless in the future, otherwise you will be plotted by someone if you are not careful, not to mention whether you can keep your position as the crown princess, I am afraid that even the Lu family will be implicated......

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, the courtiers of He Shou have entered the palace one after another with congratulatory gifts, and the birthday star, the crown prince Shen Mushi, is not in the East Palace, according to the palace rules, he has to go to the Yangxin Palace to ask Emperor Chu Wei for a banquet.

"Your Highness, do you want to send someone to urge the crown princess?"

Li Chuntang saw that the hour had come, and he still didn't see the figure of the crown princess, so he bowed down and respectfully asked Shen Mushi, who was sitting behind the desk.

Shen Mushi was lying on the desk and burying his head in writing, and he didn't even bother to raise his head when he was struggling to write, only to hear a faint and breezy sentence coming from behind the mountain of books:

"No need. If she can catch up, she won't have to go. ”

"Then the slave went to pass on the soft Jiao first?" Li Chuntang asked again.

Yangxin Palace is about two tea distances from the East Palace, today's departure time has been delayed, usually His Royal Highness is walking over to ask for peace, today's time is a little rushed, if you don't take the soft sedan chair, the iron will miss the hour.

"Not necessarily."

The corners of Shen Mushi's mouth tightened, he threw the pen in his hand into the pen holder, and without looking at Li Chuntang, he got up and paced towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

On the side of the North Champs, Shuangshuang's makeup and hair were finally done, and the hourglass in the hall rang twice, which meant that the time had delayed the time of the two incense sticks.

She was anxious, before she told Xiaoli to find a soft sedan chair to come over, who knew that she had not seen anyone for a long time, and now that the makeup has been done, she can finally set off, and she planned to walk to the East Palace without taking a sedan chair, and just stepped out of the palace gate, she saw several eunuchs hurriedly carrying a soft sedan chair.

Both of her lungs are about to explode: if she doesn't come early or late, she will come when she is leaving! What a coincidence!

She knew that there must be a cat in it, but at this time, she couldn't take care of the attack, and it was important to hurry, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and sat in a soft sedan chair, and told the palace people to run towards the Weiyang Hall quickly.

Shen Mushi slowly walked through the brocade garden, and there was a sound of small footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he couldn't help but slow down.

Little thing, finally caught up........

There was an imperceptible smile on Shen Mushi's face, and he was about to turn around when he heard Xiaoshuang's voice.

"Your Highness is waiting for me!"

When Xiaoshuang followed Shen Mu all the way, she saw that he was walking faster and faster, and her three-inch little golden lotus really couldn't keep up, so she had to call him out.

The smile on Shen Mushi's face disappeared instantly, he covered his hands, didn't turn around, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiaoshuang came to her panting, she waved her hand to signal the palace maid who was waiting to step back, she was very beautiful in a crimson palace dress, and her smile was like a begonia blooming in late winter, she first blessed her body and asked for peace, and then whispered to Shen Mushi:

"Today is His Royal Highness's birthday, according to the rules of the ancestors, the crown prince and the crown princess are going to ask the saint for peace, but now the hour is approaching, and there is still no shadow of the mother. In order to avoid the saint's blame, the concubine specially rushed over to meet the saint with His Royal Highness. ”

Shen Mushi glanced at Xiaoshuang, and his face suddenly turned cold.

The crimson clothes on Xiaoshuang's body are very similar to the palace dress of the crown princess, the wide sleeves and skirt are embroidered with gold-threaded mandarin ducks, and the head is wearing a precious manta butterfly flower and butterfly silver step, and Ling Bo jingles and sways vividly.

Xiaoshuang is just a concubine, not even a side concubine, she is not qualified to wear red palace clothes at all, especially Da Hong, and the countless Zhu Hai jewelry on her head has long exceeded the specifications of ordinary concubines. She walked around blatantly in this dress, attracting people's attention, which was really Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

"The crown princess wants you to come?"

Shen Mushi frowned and asked, his tone was flat and he couldn't hear anything abnormal.

"This ........"

Xiao Shuang frowned when she saw Shen Mu, and knew that he was unhappy, and she panicked all of a sudden.

For several months, His Royal Highness did not go to the North Champs, and rarely went to her palace, and even if he did, he only sat down and left.

The resentment in her heart is rolling like magma with nowhere to vent, and she is angry with the palace maid every day, and once she was almost bumped into by Shen Mushi, which scared her so much that she had no master, and hurriedly asked someone to drag the dying palace maid out and hide it.

After that, His Highness never came again, and she was dying.

Just when she was desperate, His Royal Highness's will came down, and he still ordered her to preside over the birthday banquet as in previous years, and allowed her to deploy a cadre of the East Palace at will.

She was ecstatic at the moment of receiving the order, although she was just a concubine, but the power was really in her hands, and the power was comparable to half of the masters of the East Palace!

The people below had told her that His Royal Highness did not allow the people of the Internal Affairs Office to send the warm niches and velvet quilts to the North Champs, and the specifications of food, clothing, housing and transportation were all supplied according to the identity of the concubine.

The crown princess lived miserably in the cold palace, the days were difficult, and after the winter solstice, she couldn't stand the cold, so she ran to the Sizhen Bureau every day to keep warm, regardless of her face, so that a group of minions of the Sizhen Bureau saw a big joke.

In order to please Xiaoshuang, the minions of Hanxian Hall added oil and vinegar one by one, fanning the flames and saying that the situation of the crown princess was extremely miserable, and they couldn't wait to go to the North Champs to collect the corpse immediately.

Xiaoshuang was very happy to hear these words, the worse Lu Shuangshuang's life was, the happier she became, and once she got carried away, making her mistakenly think that she was the same as before, and once again got rid of the woman who was in the way, and became the winner, so she was bold enough to take this opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest.

But today she found out that she was wrong, but Her Highness was angry with one piece of clothing, and it is conceivable that the people in it are the meat on the tip of His Highness's heart, and whoever moves will die.

The hatred in Xiaoshuang's heart spread like wildfire, and the nails in her palms dug into the flesh unconsciously as if she didn't feel pain.

"Take it off."

Shen Mushi said in a deep voice, with obvious anger in his tone.

"Your Highness, Xiaoshuang is a well-intentioned ......."

Xiaoshuang burst into tears, as if she had been wronged.

Shen Mushi began to get tired of seeing her like this, every time she didn't follow her, she would cry and cry so much, and everything else could be up to her, but this time, she was really too presumptuous.

"You're wearing a showmanship, and I don't know what to do. In addition to laughing at the black miasma of the East Palace of the Palace, if the mother concubine knows, she will directly drag you out and beat you to death with the palace rules, and when the time comes, even the Palace will not be able to protect you. ”

Shen Mushi's eyes swept sharply, and a pair of sharp eyes made Xiaoshuang tremble.

"Your Highness....... don't ........."

Xiaoshuang's face turned pale from Shen Mushi's words, and she knelt down towards Shen Mushi in panic.

She knelt on her knees and trembled, she just wanted to suppress Lu Shuangshuang's arrogance to wash away the shame of being left alone on the bed before.

She knew that this palace dress was an act of trespassing, and she did not hide her ambitions, people would not be destroyed for themselves, she just wanted to climb up.

But she forgot that she was a person from the East Palace, and if she made a mistake, Shen Mushi had no way to rule her, which was to discredit the East Palace.

Concubine Xian Niangniang longed for her to die, quietly and honestly hiding behind His Royal Highness may still be able to live, if she doesn't know whether to live or die to embarrass the prince and the East Palace, it is easy for Concubine Xian to enter the East Palace and kill her. In the past, the prince tried his best to protect her, and if even the prince is disgusted with him now, then she ........

Xiaoshuang was frightened when she thought of Concubine Xian's expression, and she couldn't help but feel afraid.

"Take it off now." Shen Mushi looked down at Xiao Shuang who was kneeling on the ground, and the expression on his face was still cold.

Shen Mushi has always known Xiaoshuang, and when she was most fond of her, she would occasionally give her some treatment as a wife, and she would sometimes be lawless and not know how to advance or retreat, but only in her own Hanxian Palace. Although she wanted a greater position of power, she was not so arrogant. If it weren't for someone provoking, how could he be so bold? Therefore, he did not punish her, but only reprimanded her a few words to make her retreat.

scolding her is also protecting her.

"Your Highness, this ........"

Xiaoshuang raised her head, looking embarrassed.

This palace dress was sent by her under the Si Zhen Bureau, and there was no size that suited her. In order to wear it, she wore a thin single dress and no other clothes, if she took off her single clothes now and walked all the way back to the East Palace, wouldn't her body be seen by those palace maids and eunuchs?

This is a great shame, how can we endure it?
