Chapter 261: Another Concubine
Looking at the back of the child's gradual distancing, Du Xingyue can be regarded as knowing countless people, but this time her heartbeat is so strong that even her eyes are shy!
"Little sister, why do you look so fascinated?"
Du Xingyu came over and patted his sister's shoulder at some point, and looked at his sister in a daze with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing, by the way, sister, I'm still a little dissatisfied with the food in the restaurant, let's go to the back kitchen and talk to the chefs."
Du Xingyue came to her senses, quickly hid her subtle emotions, and the two of them went to the back kitchen to sort out the dishes together.
At this time, in the palace, although Yan Miaoyu was holding a fold in his hand, his mind was not here.
The words that Nan Angui said were still echoing in his mind, with the wealth of the Du family, if he let Prime Minister Li Cheng take the first step, it would be even more difficult to deal with later.
However, he really didn't expect that the position of the original emperor would be so difficult to do, and he also wanted to be like the King of Ease, ignoring things outside the window, and only taking care of his wife and children.
But now, in order to stabilize his position, he really has to keep accepting concubines, and he has long had enough of this behavior.
But there seems to be no better way to win the hearts of these ministers than this method.
On the other hand, he had already sent secret agents to inquire about the Du family's daughter.
Du Xingyue, the clever and gentle woman in the picture, has no smile and intelligence in her eyes.
Yan Miaoyu frowned, carefully looked at the woman in the picture scroll for a while, and could guess that this woman must be very shrewd in doing things on weekdays, if this kind of woman is in the harem, if she has some other thoughts, it may set off a bigger storm.
But if Du Shangqing really took refuge in the prime minister, it would be even more difficult to recover the matter.
"Gonggong Li, for this purpose, the youngest daughter of Du Shangqing's family is talented and beautiful. Enter the palace immediately and canonize Concubine Shu. ”
By the time this was even sent to the Du family, the Du family had already been blinded, and no one would have thought that the emperor would suddenly take a fancy to Du Xingyue.
The four words of entering the palace immediately made Du Xingyue never think of it, like a thunderbolt draped on her body, and her first reaction was to refuse.
Life in the palace is like a cage in the courtyard of the deep palace, and she has longed for freedom since she was a child
life, and also untethered.
Now if she really enters the palace as a concubine, I'm afraid she will definitely go crazy.
And at the moment of receiving the holy decree, the first person she thought of was actually Nan Gongzi, who had a relationship that day, she hesitated for a long time, and finally knelt in front of her father.
"Dad, my daughter doesn't want to be a princess at all, Dad, please ask the Holy Lord to take back the holy decree."
"Nonsense!"
Du Ziteng dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground, and stared angrily at the daughter of Pear Blossom with Rain kneeling in front of him, you must know who in this world does not want to be a concubine in the palace, and his own daughter dares to resist like this.
"I said, I won't enter the palace if I die!"
"Hmph, now that the decree has been concluded, it's not a question of whether you want it or not."
Du Ziteng roared angrily, he has always loved his little daughter very much, and he has always hoped that she can find a good husband.
is like a tiger, and the life of the concubines around the emperor may not be easy, but for the sake of the whole family, he can't let his daughter continue to mess around like this.
"Daddy!"
Although all the lotus flowers in the pond in the lotus house have fallen, small chrysanthemums have grown in the center of the courtyard, which makes people feel very happy.
Nan Angui took a book and read it in the courtyard for most of the day, and sometimes she would suddenly be in a daze when she looked at it.
"Mother, it's noon. What would you like to eat? I'll do it for you now. ”
Nan Angui put down the book in his hand, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I don't have any appetite lately, so it's better to drink some lotus root soup you cooked." ”
Xiao Ru responded, turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook a bowl of soup, and was about to serve it to Niangniang when she suddenly stopped.
She thought of what Baoqing said before, and gave her a month to complete the task, if she put poison in the soup of the queen mother now, she should not be discovered.
But these days, when she thought of returning to Tianxiang Pavilion, Xiao Ru's body couldn't help but tremble, she didn't want to go back to that hell on earth at all.
Although she is reluctant to be the queen, but people are always selfish, she wants to live well in this world for her sister, as long as she doesn't return to Tianxiang Pavilion, she can't take care of it so much.
Baoqing
The words sounded in my ears again, and I finally escaped from that hell, do you want to go back again? And his current martial arts can't be compared with those novices for a long time.
The cruelty of that place cannot be described in words, and the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to kill all the people and animals that are alive so that I can survive.
This life lasted for so many years, and just when she was about to lose her hold, suddenly the master took her out, and after taking her out, she and her sister were sent to a more painful place.
But right away, someone bought them. Since that day, she has been living with Nan An Gui, and she has already taken Nan An Gui from her relatives.
How can she do it? But Baoqing warned her word by word that if Niangniang didn't die, she would go back to that cruel place.
The hand had unconsciously touched the small bottle in the sleeve, took it out and looked at it for a while, there was still some unbearability in his heart, the master should not kill Niangniang, if she couldn't complete the task, she would definitely return to Tianxiang Pavilion.
That was the end of her life.
She can't die, she can't go back.
"Xiaoru, hasn't your lotus root soup been cooked yet? I'm going to starve to death. ”
Nan Angui chuckled and called her name, the two of them had long since lost any distinction between master and servant, and lived like sisters.
Xiao Ru was ruthless, and finally poured the contents of the bottle into the soup.
"It's already done."
She came to Nan Anzhuo with a soup bowl.
"Mother, please drink."
The smile on Nan Anzhuo's face did not diminish from beginning to end, she smiled and picked up the soup bowl, scooped it with a spoon, and lowered her head to prepare to drink.
Xiao Ru's eyes kept staring at the bowl of soup, feeling guilty in her heart.
The queen is that I am sorry for you, but for the sake of my own life, I am really sorry.
Nan Angui invited a spoonful of soup and gently blew the heat on it, only to see the smile on her face, and the incomparable trust in Xiaoru.
After a while, after confirming that the soup in the spoon was no longer hot, and just as she was about to open her mouth to drink, Xiaoru suddenly reached out and knocked the spoon off her hand.
