Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ex-Husband
Four Princes!
Sheng Hao!
The future prince of Great Qi, the future Emperor of Great Qi Emperor Jianwu!
Husband in a previous life!
This man had frightened her and made her afraid to approach. Later, in order to survive in the palace, she tried her best to attract his attention, and finally had the opportunity to serve him.
Fortunately, she only went to bed once and became pregnant.
After having a son, she had the capital to settle down in the palace.
Later, with her keen and delicate insight, she gradually figured out his temperament and acted deliberately to his liking. That's what really got into his eyes.
He was busy with court affairs, and he liked to take his close ministers out of the palace to hunt and play in his spare time, and he rarely set foot in the harem. It's only two or three times a month. One of them was always going to her Qionghua Palace.
The concubines in the palace were all hot-eyed and envious of her "favor".
Only she knows that the indifferent man only thinks about the peace of the domain, the chaos of the border pass, and the expansion of the territory. The many women in the harem have never been taken to heart by him.
He "looked at her differently", firstly, for the sake of the heir, to give her a little face as a biological mother. The second is because of her cautious interest and good at observing people's opinions.
He never really liked her.
It's not just her.
Of all the women in the harem, no one left a mark on his heart.
He died at the age of thirty-eight.
The concubines in the harem cried to death. In fact, who is really grief-stricken? She also pretended to cry for forty-nine days, but in fact, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The boulder that weighed on the top of the head was finally removed!
She no longer needs to kneel humbly at his feet, no longer need to try hard to figure out his mind, and no longer need to use her wrists to "fix her favor".
Her son sat in the dragon chair. She has no rival in the palace!
In the decades that followed, she lived quite comfortably. The shadow he left in her heart was fading and fading. She rarely thought of him.
After being reborn, her reunion with him was inevitable.
She has also made sufficient psychological preparations.
I didn't expect this moment to come so suddenly and so quickly!
……
When the girls heard the name of the four princes, they were all excited, and no one noticed the change in Xie Mingxi's expression in an instant.
In just a moment, Xie Mingxi had already pressed down the churning in his heart, and the smile on his face was as usual.
"Cousin Jinyue, is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince here today?" Xie Yunxi's bright eyes were shining, and his tone was faintly excited.
Princess Changping is twenty-four years old this year, and she has already left the palace to build a mansion and recruited a handsome and promising concubine.
Among the princes, the eldest second prince is sixteen years old and has begun to listen to the government. The three princes, the four princes, and the five princes all studied in Songzhu Academy and are also well-known.
The third prince is approachable, the fourth prince is indifferent, handsome, both civil and military, and the fifth prince is young and intelligent.
The Seventh Prince died young, and the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince were still young, all of whom were raised in the palace and rarely appeared in front of others.
The oldest girl was 12 years old, and the youngest was 10 years old. It is the age when the half-old is not very affectionate. When it comes to the famous four princes, the deer in their hearts is full of expectations.
Sheng Jinyue didn't expect the four princes to come today, and couldn't help but hesitate for a while.
The things that were originally agreed with my brother became a big trouble because of the sudden arrival of the four princes.
She and the fourth prince are cousins, and it doesn't hurt to meet in the garden. The girls here have different identities, so it is not so suitable to meet the four princes like this......
Li Xiangru unexpectedly took the initiative to open his mouth: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has a noble status, how dare we be abrupt at will." If His Highness comes down to the garden, we should avoid it. ”
Yin Xiaoxiao and the others glanced at each other, and each opened their mouths to agree.
Xie Mingxi's gaze swept over Li Xiangru's face and pulled the corners of his lips slightly.
Li Xiangru is still like in his previous life, he is the best at pretending and saying the wrong thing.
The person who wants to see the Four Princes the most is her!
The concubines in the palace, everyone wears masks, and their hearts are hidden tightly. One by one, they are affectionate to their common husbands to death, but in fact, they are hypocritical and pretendious.
Only Li Xiangru, the queen of the middle palace, truly loves her husband. Even before he died, he kept crying and crying, hoping to see him for the last time.
It's a pity that until the moment before closing his eyes, he didn't wait for the cold heart of the Son of Heaven.
But it was himself, and he personally gave her the last ride. watched her cry out the name of the Son of Heaven with tears streaming down her face, and then her eyes showed despair and pathos little by little, and finally closed her eyes with hatred.
is a lifelong enemy, and when he falls into such a fate, he feels sad in his eyes.
……
Sheng Jinyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "The eldest brother asked someone to pass the word, saying that he would come back in a while." We don't have to wait for him just yet! ”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Xiangru's eyes, but a self-contained smile appeared on his face.
Last year, she entered Cining Palace to congratulate Empress Dowager Li on her birthday, and she had seen the four princes from afar. At a glance, his heart swayed, and there was his shadow in his heart.
This year, she must be admitted to the top spot in Lianchi Academy!
She was born in a famous family, with the support of the Li family and the Empress Dowager Li behind her, and then she has a talent that is difficult for others to match, and she will definitely be selected as the princess in the future.
She is attached to him, and she is determined to win the position of the fourth princess!
Whoever stands in her way, she destroys!
Sheng Jinyue opened her mouth, and all the girls were a little lost. Xie Mingxi's mood did not improve.
She had a strong premonition!
The Four Princes will appear!
This hunch was quickly verified.
……
After a cup of tea, the girls walked to the pavilion. This pavilion is extremely spacious, and it is more than enough to set up a flower banquet inside. The maids waited for the young lady to sit at the table.
The cooking skills of the chefs in Huainan Wangfu are not bad. However, Xie Mingxi has been confused by Ye Qiuniang's exquisite cooking skills these days, and after eating a few bites at random, he put down his chopsticks.
Li Xiangru was also a little absent-minded, occasionally raised his head, his eyes quickly swept around, and then lowered his eyes in disappointment.
After the flower feast, the maids quickly cleaned up the pavilion and brought musical instruments such as guqin, flute, and chessboard, pen and ink. Even the utensils for throwing pots and playing have been prepared.
Sheng Jinyue deliberately suppressed Li Xiangru's limelight, and deliberately smiled: "Let's draw lots." In the order of the draw, how about performing one by one? ”
Li Xiangru's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled well.
Xie Yunxi coughed: "My wrist is weak, and I can't be ugly today." ”
Xie Mingxi took it leisurely: "Me too." ”
Xie Yunxi: "......"
Girls: "......"
Sheng Jinyue twitched the corners of her mouth, and replied with a little impatience: "You sisters just listen." After saying that, he asked people to come over with a sticker.
Li Xiangru just won the first one!
Sheng Jinyue secretly grinded her teeth and squeezed out a smile: "Sister Li, please first!" ”
Li Xiangru smiled slightly, got up suddenly, and sat down in front of the guqin. The slender fingers pressed on the strings, and before they could touch the qin, there was a sound of footsteps outside the gazebo.
Xie Mingxi's heart sank, and he quickly looked over.
I saw the four princes at a glance.
