After the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhao Zixiu, the king of An, naturally had to go to his own fiefdom.

King An's fief was Tongzhou, Jizhou, and Huzhou, and finally he chose to build a new palace in Tongzhou and settled in Tongzhou.

"I didn't expect to go around and around, but I still went back to the same place." Concubine Yuwen Piaopiao stood in front of the canal wharf, she looked at Kyoto City, and then looked in the direction of Tongzhou.

She was sent to Tongzhou by her stepmother, and was taken back to Yuwen's house by her grandmother from Tongzhou and recorded in her uncle's name, and then she entered the palace as a concubine...... Decades have passed by in a hurry. Time has caused her grandmother to die, leaving her father and stepmother, whom she has always hated, and she herself is now back where she was.

"It's the son who is not filial." Zhao Zixiu said to her.

On the road to imperial power, Zhao Zixiu gave up by himself, so that his mother and concubine wanted to follow him away to the fiefdom. If Zhao Zixiu has no guilt in his heart, it is also false.

Hearing this, Concubine De smiled and patted her son's shoulder and said, "That's good!" The mourning family has been fighting for so long, but I am afraid that there will be no good end, and now this is excellent. ”

Unloading the complicated palace clothes, she is just an ordinary woman, and she naturally hopes to live a life of teasing her grandson.

In addition to Concubine De's feeling of going around and around, Yi Ruonan also has it! She didn't expect that she was desperately trying to escape from the place, but in the end she went back.

It is also fate, Yi Ruonan has already seen it a little.

She didn't come to Kyoto for a long time, and she stayed in the backyard of the palace for a long time after the draft. But even if it's just a backyard, she feels like she's on the battlefield! Now that he can return to Tongzhou again, without the temptation of the right in Kyoto, Yi Ruonan feels that he can live a stable life.

To be honest, she didn't really want to fight anymore, she was tired.

Since Hu Xuehui's tragic death, Yi Ruonan has understood that not all ants can shake elephants.

No matter what she talked about, she couldn't fight, and she didn't want to fight anymore.

Yi Ruonan said goodbye to the Yi family brothers and sisters who came to the pier to see each other, and sincerely asked them to take good care of themselves in Kyoto.

Zhu Qianqian invited Yi Xiangxiang aside and told her an unbelievable thing.

"Miaoqin, I sent someone to kill her." Zhu Qianqian was very calm when she said this, as if she had just stepped on an ant.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't speak, and she didn't ask Zhu Qianqian why. She didn't want to know so clearly, she didn't want to understand the darkness of human nature.

But Zhu Qianqian still told her by herself.

"I thought this would get you out of Kyoto, thinking that as long as I didn't have you in front of me, I would always be able to enter his heart. I didn't expect that I was still too arrogant after all, and in the end I could only kill Miaoqin in a hurry. ”

Some changes began to appear on her face, like self-deprecation, but also like heartache.

Yi Xiangxiang actually guessed that An Jinquan's marriage proposal would not be too complicated, because the method was too clumsy, and she didn't take into account that the saint would not sacrifice the noble girl so easily. It is because this person must not understand the link of interests between the so-called elites that he will use such useless force.

Because he guessed that the other party should not be big, and the clues were somewhat completely broken, Yi Xiangxiang did not continue to investigate at that time.

But she didn't expect that the answer was really simple, but the person behind the instigation turned out to be Zhu Qianqian.

Zhu Qianqian admires Zhao Zixiu, which naturally makes Yi Xiangxiang understand that the "he" she said refers to King An. According to the other party's meaning, he thought that King An loved her, so he wanted to get her away, which made Yi Xiangxiang sigh a little.

"You don't believe it, do you? Don't you believe he has you in his heart? Zhu Qianqian saw Yi Xiangxiang's thoughts.

Before Yi Xiangxiang could answer, Zhu Qianqian said angrily: "Because you don't understand!" ”

After she left these words, she got on the boat.

If you don't understand, you don't understand! What a fierce one! Yi Xiang Xiang belly slander.

The ship leaves the port and sets sail.

It was a rather quiet year for the Li Dynasty, and the departure of Zhao Zixiu, the king of An, to Tongzhou represented the consolidation of the new imperial power.

And Xu is afraid that the "three fires of the new official taking office" will burn him, and he has behaved peacefully inside and outside Kyoto this year.

Kyoto, where there is no feast, is very quiet, and even Yi Xiangxiang is detained in Yongleju. Lin was afraid that she would go out and make trouble, so he asked her very strictly to not go out of the door.

Yi Xiangxiang doesn't work against her mother, and she treats her very well in extraordinary times! And she also felt that Zhao Ziqian was uncertain, so it was better to keep a low profile and not hit his muzzle.

It's not just quiet, it's been a boring and long year.

Sheng Changhong and Yi Ruofu's wedding ceremony was originally scheduled for winter, but because it was still in the national mourning period, it had to be moved to the next day's spring.

Luo Minghao's father, Luo Fei, was promoted to Honglu Temple, and the Luo family also settled in Kyoto. Luo Minghao came to talk to Yi Xiangxiang every day when he was fine, and often collided with Luo Baohua. These two people are duck beaks, and the noise makes Yi Xiangxiang have a headache.

The Xiang family's business is also getting bigger and bigger with the secret help of Wuda Firm, and because the focus is gradually shifting to Kyoto, Xiang Yun is discussing with his parents to move the family.

Oh, he married his wife the year the Yi family entered Beijing, and Mrs. Xiang's family was also in business. Back then, the Yi family was busy with the matter of entering Beijing and did not go to the wedding banquet, but later Xiang Yun came to Kyoto for business and brought his wife here, and Yi Xiangxiang also met the sister-in-law. Sister-in-law Xiang speaks boldly, does things coolly, and has the demeanor of a boss's wife.

Ren Feihong and his wife Ling Min originally joined hands in the rivers and lakes to become a chivalrous couple, but later found out that Ling Nuxia was pregnant, so the two obediently returned to Renjiazhuang to raise the baby. Half a year ago, a letter came that he gave birth to a big fat boy.

Liu Fangfei still has no news, Yi Xiangxiang can be sure that if she didn't deliberately hide, something must have happened. Liu Yuanwai of the Liu family has also been looking for Liu Fangfei for the past two years, and when he occasionally came to Yi's house to ask if he had received the news, Yi Xiangxiang actually wanted to ask Liu Yuanwai about Liu Fangfei's biological mother, but in the end he still didn't find a suitable opportunity.

The Anwang Mansion in Tongzhou was built very quickly, and Anwang had already moved in with his wife and family.

Yi Ruonan sent a message that the newly built Anwang Mansion and the Yi Mansion in Tongzhou were only separated by a wall, and she often went back to her Nanfeng Residence to sit idly. She said that Princess An was generous and never embarrassed the concubines in the house. But despite this, Zhu Qianqian still dangled in the palace all day long. She can't get used to seeing that dead face, so she often fights with Zhu Qianqian! This reminded her of the time when she quarreled with her sisters in the past, and she was very nostalgic.

Yi Xiangxiang felt that Yi Ruonan had become softer, and she even guessed that Yi Ruonan deliberately went against Zhu Qianqian, also to divert her attention from Zhao Zixiu's infatuation.

Yi Ruofu felt that her sister was not so kind, and replied that she didn't kill people, and she had to pay for her life when she turned around.

So Yi Xiangxiang felt that Yi Ruofu had also become soft, although it was still a dead duck with a hard mouth.

Yi Ruonan is not as knowledgeable as Yi Ruofu, and when she replied again, she said that Le Qi and Zhou Jiaotou's daughter could already speak, and she always said "Miss" when she opened her mouth and closed her mouth. At first, Yi Ruonan was still puzzled, but later found out that Leqi always said "Miss said ......" and "Miss likes ...... the most" at every turn, so that the children followed suit.

Yi Xiangxiang felt that she had also become soft.

However, Yi Ruonan actually didn't say one more thing, that is, when she occasionally went back to Nanfeng Residence, she often saw His Royal Highness King An sitting in the courtyard of the former Yongle Residence, sometimes sitting all day.

After the beginning of spring, the first happy event of the Yi family was naturally Yi Ruofu's marriage.

Early in the morning, Yi Xiangxiang saw Mrs. Quanfu invited by the house enter the Fu Courtyard, and then saw her holding five-color silk threads and other tools to open Yi Ruofu's face. The movements were so neat that she really felt pain when she saw it.

Then Yi Ruofu was put on a big heavy makeup, and the white background was like a sadako, and Yi Xiangxiang was shocked. However, when Feng Guanxia was put on her body, she was able to suppress that whiteness, which surprised Yi Xiangxiang very much.

The bride fiddled with it, so she naturally waited for the groom's official to pick it up. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the room, everyone left the room one by one, leaving Yi Xiangxiang alone to talk to Yi Ruofu.

Yi Ruofu held Yi Xiangxiang's hand tightly and pinched the latter painfully.

Yi Xiangxiang inhaled and said: "It hurts, it hurts!" After patting Yi Ruofu to let go of her hand, she asked, "What?" Scared? ”

She saw Yi Ruofu's face with a look of apprehension and confusion, but she was worried!

"Who's who...... Who said I was scared! Yi Ruofu was still stiff-mouthed.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't argue with Yi Ruofu, but just comforted her: "Don't be afraid, if Sheng Changhong treats you badly, you will divorce him, and I will raise you when I come back in the future, it's not a big deal!" ”

Yi Ruofu wanted to cry without tears when she heard this, what did you call him off? The only rule of this dynasty is to divorce a wife or divorce, and I haven't heard of a husband yet! But when she thought about it seriously, she thought it was feasible, anyway, the eighth sister seemed to be very rich, and it was not impossible to come back to rub her food in the future.

Hehe, neither of them thought that Yi Xiangxiang was also going to get married!

"Done! If he treats me badly, I'll divorce him!" Yi Ruofu clenched her fists and said.

Yi Xiangxiang nodded with a "teachable child", and then took out a red cloth bag from somewhere, opened it and pulled out the contents of it.

"Come on, give you some things to keep around, I didn't put them on when the makeup was too conspicuous." She pulled them out one by one and continued: "Na, the rouge shop on East Street is not big, but because it sells all the goods of Wuda Firm, it is also quite profitable. And this is also from East Street, a jade shop, there are a lot of things in it that I have scavenged over the years, don't be defeated! Well, yes, there is also this suburban grange, I just bought it a while ago, don't you like flowers and plants, there is a flower field there, you can plant anything you want! And ......"

"Wait! What are you doing here? Yi Ruofu was a little confused.

"What can you do! Naturally, it's for you as a dowry! Yi Xiangxiang looked as she should be.

The dowry that the Huang family bought for Yi Ruofu looked rich on the surface, but in fact, there was nothing practical. If it weren't for the old lady Mo adding a copy, and the Lin family going to the public middle school to do a copy, it would be completely blind! But even so, Yi Xiangxiang still felt that she had to give Yi Ruofu more protection, after all, she would be a wife in the Sheng family in the future, and there would be a lot of subordinates to deal with, so she had to have money in her hands.

At this time, Shumei walked in with a small snack and happened to hear the conversation between her own young lady and the fifth lady. She also pondered that Miss Fifth must have been moved, and secretly muttered to herself that don't cry with makeup, after all, this is not yet time to cry and get married! Unexpectedly, when she looked at it, she found that Miss Five was very excited.

Yi Ruofu's eyes lit up a little, and she looked like a fan of money: "But what can I do if you give me these?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang didn't know Yi Ruofu's subtext, so she glanced at her and said, "The shopkeeper who takes care of the shop will also give it to you!" ”

So until the crying and marrying session, Yi Ruofu was still secretly laughing under the hijab. Later, I heard her sobbing a few times, but Yi Xiangxiang always felt that it was the sound of suffocating laughter.

In short, Yi Ruofu happily got married with the grange shop.

After Yi Ruofu got married, Yi Xiangxiang became even more boring. Fortunately, the national mourning period has passed, and she can also go out and play wildly. The business of Wuda Firm and Xile Building is thriving, and Mei Huan Yuan has reached the point of making money every day.

However, such a joyous day ended quickly, because soon after the beginning of spring, the civil and military officials played in the early dynasty.

Hundreds of officials admonished that "the harem cannot be left without an owner for a day", and the above table Emperor Zhao Ziqian should open the draft and recruit the harem! After sealing the military, stabilize the dynasty!

Since Zhao Ziqian ascended the throne, he has also been quite "dictatorial and authoritarian", and some of the hundreds of officials who admonished him were echoed speeches, and he felt that Zhao Ziqian would not adopt them. However, to their surprise, the Holy Lord Zhao Ziqian actually agreed to the open draft.

Undoubtedly, as the concubine of the Ministry of Shangshu, even if her appearance is ordinary, Yi Xiangxiang is also on the draft list. So when summer was approaching, she also entered the palace with the show girls to run for election.

However, she used a trick to make a birthmark on the inner calf of the evil spirit, and the first round was brushed off.

Yi Xiangxiang, who returned to Yifu, was very proud, she really thought about things too complicated before, and she was worried about the draft! The old lady saw that she looked ordinary, and there was a birthmark on her body, plus she hinted that she would give a lot of money, so she immediately brushed her off!

Yi Xiangxiang is quite happy about this! Ordinary looks are less trouble, if she grows into the face of her previous life, the old lady may not dare to brush her down!

Summer is getting deeper, and on this day when Yi Xiangxiang took Qingxuan and Shumeilang Street, those show girls have been in the palace for more than a month. Seeing that it is about to be the day when 50 people will be selected to leave the sign, it is the most lively in Kyoto, that is, who will be the queen! Many gambling houses in Kyoto City have even opened a gambling session for this purpose.

"I feel that Concubine Lin is more suitable to be the queen! After all, she came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is still the first beauty in Kyoto, and the saint will definitely choose Concubine Lin! ”

"Brother Tai doesn't know, this Kang Guifei is the cousin of the saint's childhood sweetheart, and the saint still has a deep relationship with Kang Guifei!"

When Yi Xiangxiang took Qingxuan and Shumei into the gambling house, she heard such a conversation.

There are all kinds of people in the gambling house, and there are even some female gamblers, but the three of Yi Xiangxiang's master and servant are not eye-catching. Except for some people who looked at the beautiful Qing Xuan more, they were almost like transparent people.

It can be seen that Kyoto is indeed a place for beautiful women, and even the attraction of Qingxuan is only two eyes! Yi Xiangxiang expressed great emotion.

"Miss...... Then who are we pressing! Shumei asked in a low voice.

Yi Xiangxiang shook her head and said that she was still thinking about it, after all, Lin Kang and both of them were possible. But she also felt that Zhao Ziqian was a rational person, and he might still lean towards the Lin family in the end, after all, the Kang family still had the Empress Dowager Xiao'an as a shield, and only by bringing up the Lin family could the power of the harem achieve checks and balances.

She quietly walked around the venue, and then took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets and took out the special gambling paper made by the gambling house, and suppressed Lin Zhimeng.

Because of the huge amount of money she put in, the dealer who was the owner also deliberately shouted out. So the surrounding gamblers came over and asked Yi Xiangxiang why she made this choice.

Yi Xiangxiang naturally couldn't say anything about the checks and balances of the front and harem, but said very seriously: "Lang is talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven!" ”

Most of the people around were pressed by Lin Zhimeng, and they echoed the words!

And after Yi Xiangxiang's master and servant left, Cheng Xi, who was wearing a crescent moon robe, entered the gambling house and pressed a name that no one expected, and the bet was 100,000 taels of gold.

It's a pity that Yi Xiangxiang had already left at that time and didn't know about it.

Seven days later, news came out in the palace that half of the fifty show girls who participated in the selection of the remaining cards were canonized.

When Yi Xiangxiang heard this, she was eating snacks in Yongle Ju, and she almost choked to death!

"Half? Other words...... Zhao Ziqian has twenty-five little wives waiting for him to sleep again? Yi Xiangxiang exclaimed.

In the past, there were many concubines selected by the saints, but probably because Yi Xiangxiang and those saints didn't know each other, so they didn't think there was anything. And now when I think of Zhao Ziqian, I always feel that it is too exaggerated!

Three thousand beauties, if this is really three thousand beauties, it will be very terrifying!

Tut-tut, no wonder everyone wants to be emperor! Yi Xiangxiang complained secretly.

When Lin heard Yi Xiangxiang's words so careless, he was so angry that he wanted to beat her: "You are a girl, can you be more restrained in your speech?" ”

She was really going to be by this daughter.

Yi Xiangxiang sat in the circle chair and crossed Erlang's legs and said indifferently: "Eh, mother, it's not like there are no outsiders!" Don't worry, I'm still very measured outside, and I will never talk nonsense! ”

Lin came over angrily and patted her leg and said, "You have to look like a girl at home!" ”

"Okay, good, I've got a look!" Yi Xiangxiang put her legs down very cooperatively, and then sat down with her mother.

Lin sat down in the circle chair on the other side, his brows were a little knotted, and finally he said it: "I have been attending banquets these days, and there are always my wife who have inquired about the child of the Mo family openly and secretly. They probably think that we are familiar with Zhaoxi, and they want to ask him if he has any plans to marry a wife! Eh, Zhaoxi is also pitiful, there is only such a master left in the Mo family now, and there is really no one who is in charge! I see that child is in love with you, you go back and ask? ”

Mo Zhaoxi was appointed by the first emperor as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and also gave him a land and mansion, which was in the name of Mo Zhaoxi, who had restored the Mo family.

The fact that Mo Zhaoxi was accidentally rescued by the Yi family at the foot of Qishan Mountain has gradually spread in Kyoto in the past two years. It was because everyone knew that Mo Zhaoxi and the Yi family were familiar with each other, so they listened to the tone of Mrs. Yi's Lin family. Although the Lin family didn't know the direct relationship between Huanxi Pavilion and her daughter, she thought that Huanxi Pavilion was her daughter's friend, and she knew that Mo Zhaoxi and Qing Xuan had both entered Huanxi Pavilion.

Yi Xiangxiang was a little uneasy when she heard this: "Mother, you just said that my eldest girl's family should be more restrained, so I asked Mo Zhaoxi to ask if he has any views on family affairs?" You can't do it! It was Qingxuan before, and now it's Mo Zhaoxi's! Qingxuan, I'm okay to say, what do I say about this Mo Zhaoxi? ”

She's not bad at saying it, she just doesn't know what to say!

Yi Ruofu opened her mouth because she liked Sheng Changhong, but whether it was Mo Zhaoxi or Qingxuan, if there was no one she liked, she didn't want to put any pressure on them.

Lin also felt that it was indeed not suitable, so he thought about it: "Then I'll mention it to your father and let him ask as an elder!" After all, he is now alone in Kyoto, and he still has to be helped by his elders. ”

She really sympathizes with Mo Zhaoxi, and she really wants to take care of him!

"Cheng, you can do it!" Yi Xiangxiang suddenly thought of the dragon girl, and thought of a group of single dogs in Huanxi Pavilion, and sighed a little in her heart.

It's all older youth! Huh!

Lin saw that his daughter was not very interested in getting married, so he told him: "Don't make trouble, there is a flower banquet in Jiang's Mansion tomorrow, you go with me!" ”

When she said this, she almost said directly, "There is a blind date banquet tomorrow, you go with me!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang also knew that it was time for her to put the blind date on the agenda, so she didn't disobey. After all, if you have to get married, you should also choose it!

But it's a pity that she didn't attend the wedding banquet in the end, because the next morning, a holy decree came from the palace.

The holy decree is a literary text, and the central idea is to canonize Yi Xiangxiang, the daughter of the Yi family, after Emperor Wu Zhao Ziqian!

This decree was like a thunderbolt that made most people dizzy! So in the city of Kyoto in the past two days, because of this holy decree, it was very lively, and almost half of the people were asking who Yi Xiangxiang was!

"Yi Xiangxiang? It's the eldest daughter of the official book! ”

"Eh! Doesn't it mean that she has no talent and no virtue? I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! ”

"Not really! I heard that she never stroked the piano and never recited poetry when she participated in the banquet! Isn't it just clumsy! ”

"Is it because of the outstanding appearance?"

"What, I've seen her! Looks ordinary! ”

"Then why did the Holy Lord choose her to be the queen?"

That's right, everyone is talking about one question, that is, "Why did the saint choose Yi Xiangxiang as the queen"!

In fact, not only everyone was puzzled, but the Yi family was also shocked, and Yi Xiangxiang even felt that it was a bolt from the blue!

Zhao Ziqian has a hole in his brain, right?

Is it pulling the Yi family to do the balance?

But the Yi family is just an upstart, and it is impossible to compete with the Kang family and the Lin family!

Yi Xiangxiang looked at her ordinary-looking self in the mirror, and finally summed up that Zhao Ziqian's brain was convulsive! She secretly made an appointment with Zhao Ziqian in the name of Huanxi Pavilion and wanted to ask clearly, but this girl actually refused!

Is this a duck on the shelf? Yi Xiangxiang is a little angry!

She wanted to resist the decree and disrespect, but she was worried that she would get into trouble if she offended Long Wei! In the end, I could only decide to go into the palace to take a look, at least to figure out what tricks Zhao Ziqian played.

Yi Xiang is fragrant, and Yi Xihu and Lin are also very melancholy! They were also surprised why their daughter became the queen! Although this position is noble, but his daughter looks so ordinary, how can her ordinary appearance cage the emperor's heart?

And the Lin family didn't want Yi Xiangxiang to enter the palace the most, she knew that it was a place where people eat people and didn't spit out bones, so she frowned with a long sigh for the past two days.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at her parents' melancholy face, so she could only comfort them in turn and say that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth!

Scold! Isn't it Gong Dou! I still don't believe I can't play! Yi Xiangxiang cheered herself up.
