After nightfall, King Qi was just about to go to bed, and there was a commotion in the Peony Pavilion where Jade Mingzhu lived, which alarmed King Qi and Concubine Lian!

Jade Mingzhu Bai Ling hung himself on the door of the Peony Pavilion!

Of course, she won't really die, and when King Qi arrived, she happened to have half a breath, mainly to let King Qi see her pitiful appearance!

Under the cry of Concubine Lian, and then looking at Yu Mingzhu's pitiful appearance, King Qi has been the closest to her since she was a child, and she is also the most reluctant to this eldest daughter in her heart, so he helplessly said that he would personally go to the Queen Mother to tell the Queen Mother about this matter of filial piety, and let her continue to wear linen and filial piety for Shangguan Xian, so that she can participate in the celebration banquet in the palace as the eldest princess from tomorrow.

But after hearing this, Yu Mingzhu still looked pitiful with tears in her eyes, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, of course Concubine Lian knew what she was thinking, because Yu Mingzhu had already told Concubine Lian what she was thinking. Therefore, on tonight's opportunity, the mother and daughter knelt in front of King Qi with pear blossoms and rain, begging King Qi to follow the example of Empress E's daughter Ying and give the poor Jade Pearl to Mu Lingzhi in marriage, even if she can't be a princess, she is willing to be wronged.

When King Qi heard this, his face was full of sadness, and he was a little afraid-

Anyone can marry, but he really doesn't dare to mess with this third prince!

And although King Qi's brain is confused, his eyes are not blind, Mu Lingzhi's love for Yu Ruyan is so strong, it seems that she is the only one in his heart, the two of them are like glue and sweet moments, how can they be willing to let Yu Mingzhu suddenly insert it!

King Qi was embarrassed: "Daughter, there are many good men in the world, you don't need to just look at the one in front of you, have you forgotten about the four princesses?" The father can rely on you for other things, but in this matter, the father is helpless. ”

Yu Mingzhu was anxious when she heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Although there are many men in the world, who can lead 50,000 elite soldiers to win an army of 400,000?" Father, the third highness likes the fifth sister, but because she is good-looking. But you see, I look so similar to my fifth sister, and there is no reason why Your Highness should not like me. ”

In order to persuade King Qi, Yu Mingzhu lowered her face for the first time, and took the initiative to talk about her resemblance to Yu Ruyan, and it was the first time she called her sister, she was really completely fascinated by Mu Lingzhi, and even the two things she hated the most were now the talk of the story.

Seeing that King Qi still shook his head and disagreed, Yu Mingzhu said again: "Father, our Great Qi has never been good at fighting, but in the past two years, Great Wei has been eyeing us, if there are three highnesses who have been escorting us, I think Great Wei will not dare to do anything to our Great Qi." ”

"Although the fifth sister has married him, my father himself also understands in his heart that her father's debt to the fifth sister over the years, she is a person who loves to hold grudges, what if she goes to Daliang with the Third Highness in the future, and no longer cares about the life or death of Daqi, she will not persuade His Royal Highness to contribute to Daqi again?"

"If there is a daughter by His Royal Highness's side, it is different, the daughter has been loved by her father since she was a child, and she is deeply favored by her father, if she marries into the palace, she will be nurtured day and night, so that His Royal Highness will share his worries about his father and the emperor, so that he will not avoid his father's worries!"

Jade Mingzhu persuaded King Qi to agree to her marriage to Mu Lingzhi with a lotus tongue. As soon as King Qi was told by her, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but think deeply-

He has always been unkind to his fifth daughter, and he can even be said to be vicious and ruthless.

When she was only two years old, she was thrown into the mountains by the slander of Yiyun Dao Chief, and almost died in the snake cave......

She was saved by the monks who traveled all over the world, and she was kept by her side for five or six years, until she was eight years old before she was brought back into the palace by the Queen Mother.

Over the years, she has lived in the small Hibiscus Sakura Palace, and it is rare to see her once a year.

Two years ago, rumors suddenly began to circulate that there was a jade girl among the princesses of Qi State, and the blood on her body could cure a hundred poisons, and then Da Liang suddenly proposed peace to Qi State, directly indicating that he wanted to marry a jade girl of Qi State.

King Qi didn't know that the jade girl of Qi was one of the princesses, but because he wanted to attach to the powerful Liang, the King of Qi didn't dare to disobey, but he was afraid that it was not the real jade girl who married in the past, and the cruel and cold-blooded famous Three Highnesses of the Liang would kill the princess who was close to him, so at that time, no one among the princesses was willing to marry to Daliang to die.

At the instigation of Concubine Lian, King Qi finally beat the fifth princess Yu Ruyan, who had been unknown and unpopular, to Daliang.

It wasn't until a month before the marriage that King Qi recruited this daughter, who had always been unwelcome, into the imperial study for the first time.

When Yu Ruyan was brought to him, King Qi was stunned for a moment.

For a long time, in King Qi's heart, the eldest princess Jade Pearl was the best-looking among the princesses, but when Yu Ruyan was brought to him, he was shocked to realize that his daughter, who had been in the cold in the deep palace, was the most beautiful one.

Although the two look very similar, the difference is in those eyes!

The eyes of the jade pearl are already very beautiful, transparent and bright like glass, and the eyes of the jade Ruyan are even more sparkling, such as the brightest spring light in the spring sprinkled on the surface of the sparkling lake, bright and moving, but also with infinite style, breathtaking!

But when these best eyes looked at him, they were cold, and even when he knelt down and begged him not to marry her to his relatives, there was unyielding and strong in his eyes.

In his definition, he thinks that a woman should be as graceful as water, delicate and moving when laughing, miserable and moving when crying, and must be soft when she should be soft, not like a hedgehog, erecting spikes all over her body at any time to defend desperately.

However, he didn't reflect on who gave her such a forbearant and stubborn personality as Yu Ruyan.

If she was like other princesses, she had lived in the care of her parents since she was a child, she had been cared for and loved since she was a child, she would not have been sad at a young age, and her eyes were cold!

As soon as he thought of Yu Ruyan's cold eyes when he looked at him, King Qi's expression moved, and he couldn't help but be moved by Yu Mingzhu's words.

He twisted his eyebrows and thought that if he sent two daughters who were like flowers and jade to marry Mu Lingzhi, then he would definitely respond to Daqi's needs in the future.

As long as he is there, are you still afraid that the country will not be protected?

In his heart, he already agreed with Yu Mingzhu's words, but he still hesitated on his face: "This matter is not all up to my father." You also know that the temperament of the three highnesses, even King Liang dares to be disobedient, how can he count his father's words? ”

Hearing King Qi's relief, Yu Mingzhu was so excited and happy that she couldn't do it, she said excitedly: "My daughter won't make it difficult for her father, as long as my father persuades the queen mother to ignore my business, and then mentions this matter a little in front of His Royal Highness." Otherwise, the daughter has her own ideas! ”

She didn't believe it, with her appearance and background, Mu Lingzhi didn't even dislike Yu Ruyan, and she didn't want her!

What's more, her mother, Concubine Lian, is the best at seducing men, and she knows best how to serve men to make men the most happy and comfortable. Otherwise, she would not have followed King Qi for decades, although she was old, she still won the young and tender concubines in the harem, and won the first favor of the harem, so that King Qi stayed in Chunlan Palace night and night and was reluctant to leave......

Therefore, Yu Mingzhu is convinced that as long as there is a chance for her to get close to Mu Lingzhi and live with him, she will definitely promote the skills of husband control and the joy of the bed taught by her mother concubine, so that Mu Lingzhi will be fascinated by her, and she will be completely inseparable from her!

Looking at the firmness and confidence in her eyes, King Qi said slowly: "In this way, my father can only help you get here, and the rest depends on your own efforts and creation!" ”

"Thank you, father!" Yu Mingzhu happily bowed down to thank her, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared in an instant, without a trace!

However, Yu Ruyan was unaware of Yu Mingzhu's conspiracy and ambition, and at that time, she and Mu Lingzhi returned to her own Hibiscus Sakura Palace hand in hand, looking at the ginkgo biloba of that tree, Mu Lingzhi smiled proudly at Yu Ruyan: "Look, husband, I not only have the battlefield, but even this pruning is very good!" Look, how beautifully this tree is pruned! ”

As soon as he said it, Yu Ruyan unconsciously remembered that day when he came here to find himself, and his heart was sweet, and he couldn't help but quip: "Yes, His Royal Highness, who is famous all over the world, is now a heartthrob, and I haven't seen those palace maids who see you one by one as if they have lost their souls, and they can't wait to eat you. ”

Mu Lingzhi was so amused by her that he laughed dumbly, and kissed her on the face in front of the palace people, and said proudly in her ear: "I can't snatch it in this life, no matter how good they are, there is a sultry little goblin who can fight you, I belong to you from the inside out, from the heart to the body, from the tip of the head to the heel, and others can't rob it." ”

Yu Ruyan blushed at the love words that came from his mouth, and couldn't help but look at him, and went back to the house with a crimson face.

Brother An had always been a little afraid of this cold-blooded highness who often had a cold face, and always felt that he was not easy to get along with. But these days, every time I see him, I can easily make my princess blush, and I see his doting on the princess with my own eyes, as well as those blushing love words, Brother An has broken his eyes from the beginning, I can't believe it, and now it is a habit!

Seeing the sweetness of the two of them, Brother An drove away the palace people who were crowded at the door and secretly wanted to watch the excitement, and said angrily: "Your Highness and the princess want to have a good rest, if you make any more noise with them, and then provoke Your Highness to be angry, you can not talk as well as the princess, and it is normal to reward you with a sword." ”

As soon as these words came out, those palace people were frightened and scattered, and they didn't dare to think anything wrong anymore.

The two entered the house, Yu Ruyan looked at the slightly simple and ordinary room, and said with guilt: "Before, my father arranged for you to live in Zihua Palace, which is the most luxurious and comfortable place in the palace, why don't you go and live there?" I'm simple and normal here, it's really ......"

"No matter how luxurious and comfortable a place is, it is in vain without you, and no matter how ordinary and simple a place is, it is heaven with you. Although I am a prince, I have been marching and fighting all year round, and I have long been accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open air, and no matter how hard I am, I will never be harder than when I am out on the march, so don't worry about me. Mu Lingzhi smiled and sat down on her boudoir, looking very comfortable.

Looking at the bed that was not spacious, Yu Ruyan thought for a while and said: "Your Highness can go to the room where Xiaodao lived before to sleep, this bed is too small, it is good to sleep with me alone, if you let Your Highness also sleep in a crowded room, it will ......"

"Now, you still want me to stay alone in the empty room, don't even think about it, even if you make a bunk, I want to sleep with you!" Before Yu Ruyan's words could be spoken, Mu Lingzhi had already refused, and lay down on the bed, refusing to get up again.

Yu Ruyan stood there helplessly, but there was nothing she could do about him.

beckoned her to pass, Yu Ruyan was pulled down by him and fell on the bed before she could stand still, Mu Lingzhi rolled over, and she was already pressed under her.

Looking at his appearance, and thinking of the last time in the bath, the wounds on Mu Lingzhi's body were torn open in several places due to the fierce action, which made her heart ache. Since then, Yu Ruyan has stayed away from him, and he is afraid that if he can't restrain himself, he will tear open the wound on his body that he had finally scabbed over. couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Your Highness, your injuries are not healed yet." If you want to sleep here, I'll sleep in the next room. ”

Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Mu Lingzhi would agree, but in a hurry, he took off his clothes in front of her and said: "Look at it, along the way, it has already been almost good, and it won't crack again, you-just become a husband!" ”

Before she could refute, Yu Ruyan's mouth was blocked by Mu Lingzhi's fiery kiss, and his charming voice whispered in her ear: "Lady, for the sake of five children, we can work harder!" ”

The curtains rolled, the red candles flickered, and the strong affection made the moon outside the window blush and hide behind the treetops......

In July, the weather in the south was hot, and the air was steaming, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to distribute ice cubes to each palace and hall, and it was the first time this year that the palace received ice cubes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Watching the palace people carry the cool ice cubes into the house, Yu Ruyan asked Brother An: "Go to my mother's place to have a look, does her Yaochun Palace have a share of ice cubes to relieve the heat?" If not......" She was about to say that she would send her Shu Concubine here, but when she thought of Mu Lingzhi's heat last night and didn't sleep well all night, she couldn't help but pause for the rest of her words.

Jinying Palace is located in a remote place in the west of the palace, the poisonous sun of the day is from morning to night, and when the west is sunburned, the heat of the day is all stuffy in the house, the most stuffy and unbearable, Mu Lingzhi only stayed for one night, and a lot of prickly heat grew on his body, although he didn't say it, but Yu Ruyan knew that he must not have slept well last night.

The country of Qi is located in the south, and the summer season is long and hot, so the palace can't supply ice cubes to relieve the heat every year.

In previous years, most of the ice cubes in the palace were sent to Chunlan Palace, and the remaining half would be distributed to other Niangniang Palaces in the palace, such as the Jade Ruyan Jinying Palace and Shu Concubine's Yaochun Palace, which could not look forward to a piece of ice, and this year's these are only because of Mu Lingzhi here.

"Send the ice cubes to the concubine's Yaochun Palace." Yu Ruyan's swallowed words were said by Mu Lingzhi, he came in from outside, heard Yu Ruyan's words, and actually guessed her thoughts and difficulties, and took the initiative to say it for her.

Hearing him call Shu Concubine 'Mother Concubine', Yu Ruyan's heart was shocked, very shocked.

Because Concubine Shu was only born as a palace maid, and her position was also low, she was never welcomed in the palace, and she was not even qualified to come out to be visited by Mu Lingzhi, who was the prince.

I thought that Mu Lingzhi didn't keep her mother concubine in mind at all, but I didn't expect him to call Shu Concubine, who was from a humble background, 'mother concubine', like this, and took the initiative to send the ice cubes that cooled down!

Listening to Mu Lingzhi's instructions, the people in the Internal Affairs Office were a little embarrassed: "Your Highness Qiqi, these ice cubes are specially separated from the example of Chunlan Palace by Concubine Lotus and the eldest princess of Chunlan Palace and given to His Royal Highness ......for summer vacation."

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's expression was slightly cold-

Yes, how could she have forgotten that her father had already re-given the power of the harem to Concubine Lian, so all the affairs of the palace had to go through her hands, and these precious and rare ice cubes were naturally arranged by her, but it still made sense to hang the name of Concubine Lian, why did she have to deliberately explain that it was the eldest princess Yu Mingzhu's intentions? !

Thinking of the rumors she heard as soon as she returned to the palace, Yu Ruyan's eyes flashed, and her heart was already clear-

Yes, Shangguan Xianzhong died in his own house in an unknown way, and Yu Mingzhu didn't have to marry a dumb cripple after all, but she is nineteen years old this year, and she must be in a hurry to find a concubine to marry again.

Over the years, the hatred between Yu Mingzhu and Yu Ruyan is innumerable, and she has been fighting with Yu Mingzhu for so long, how can she not understand Yu Mingzhu's personality-

She doesn't bother to pay attention to those who are useless to her, but those who are useful to her want to get it at all costs.

As far as she arrived, there was no doubt that she was over nineteen years old, and after Shangguan Xianzhong's death, she was already anxious to fall in love with the next family for herself, and this next family was Mu Lingzhi!

"Oh, I didn't expect these ice cubes to be a piece of the heart of the mother and the eldest princess." The moment Yu Ruyan pondered, Mu Lingzhi had already spoken coldly.

His cool eyes casually swept over the people in the Internal Affairs Mansion, and said casually: "Dare to ask, what grade or above is this harem worthy of - such a precious ice cube?!" ”

The people of the Internal Affairs Office were swept away by his unclear eyes, and they didn't feel a chill on their bodies, and hurriedly bowed respectfully and replied: "Your Highness, because of the scarcity of ice cubes this year, only the concubines above the concubine position of the Queen Mother will be allocated ice cubes, and the rest will not be, oh, Wu Zhaoyi of Chunwu Palace also has ice cubes because she is pregnant." ”

"What about the princesses? Since the eldest princess has ice cubes available, why don't the five princesses, who are princesses of Heshuo, have to rely on the eldest princess's grace and reward, what is the reason? ”

Mu Lingzhi lay down on the recliner leisurely, and said in a casual but cold tone: "Could it be that you are used to bullying her and ignoring her, the princess of Heshuo?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several palace people on errand in the Internal Affairs Office were so frightened that they knelt down, their whole bodies trembled, and they didn't even dare to shout.

In fact, over the years, the treatment of the eldest princess Jade Mingzhu is different from that of other princesses, everyone has become accustomed to it, one is that King Qi loves her the most, and the other is that her mother is favored, and her mother's maiden power is also extraordinary, so in addition to her mother Concubine Lian in the palace, even Concubine Li and all the concubines are respectful to her, no one dares to contradict her for half a point, she can use ice cubes, it is really normal.

Mu Lingzhi said this, no one dared to criticize half a sentence in previous years, but now when he asked, the people in the Internal Affairs Office were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to reply to him, and they felt that it was wrong.

In the end, the eunuch stepped forward in a cold sweat and replied: "It's the little ones who are not in charge of their duties and have forgotten the five princesses......

"Since you didn't do your job properly and neglected the errand of the Hibiscus Sakura Palace, then, now that it's so hot here, what are you going to do?" Mu Lingzhi didn't tell them to get up, the soft sword in his waist was pulled out in time, he took his index finger and leisurely flicked the sword body, and the sound of 'Zheng Zheng' was heard in the ears of several kneeling people, like a life-urging bell, and they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground one by one holding their heads.

"Well, I'll give you an idea—"

"It's easy to reduce the heat, a few of you go to fetch water and splash it along the courtyard of the palace wall of the Hibiscus Sakura Palace, so that the heat around it will be dispersed, and the house will be cool."

When the people in the Internal Affairs Office heard this, they were immediately miserable.

The original shallow well in the Hibiscus Sakura Palace had long since dried up, and if you wanted to fetch water, you had to go to the well far ahead. On this hot day, carry water and walk so far, and although this Hibiscus Sakura Palace is not big, it is not easy to splash all the wet, and a few people suddenly eat Coptis chinensis like a dumb person, and they dare not say anything if they are bitter, so they have to respond only to the promise, and they dare not refute half a sentence.

"Wait!"

Just as they were about to go out, Mu Lingzhi stopped them again, pointed to the roof and said, "This roof is the most heat-absorbing, don't forget to climb up and pour water on the roof!" Go ahead. ”

The fathers-in-law of the Internal Affairs Mansion went down with a bitter face, and Mu Lingyi swept away the evil anger just now, took Yu Ruyan's hand and said with a smile: "Go, send ice cubes to the concubine!" ”

When Yu Ruyan heard that he was going to send ice cubes to Concubine Shu in person, she was shocked and said: "Your Highness, just let your subordinates do these things, you don't have to work hard, and besides, the concubine is ...... I can't afford it! ”

"Why can't you afford it?" Mu Lingzhi took her hand and walked out disapprerovingly, saying, "I have to thank my mother in person for giving birth to such a good daughter." In the future, if you marry Daliang with me, it will be rare to see her again, and while she is still in Qi now, you should accompany her more and honor her. ”

Looking at the man in front of him in a daze, Yu Ruyan's heart surged with a warm current, and she no longer had any worries, and happily took him to see her mother, who was also worried about missing day and night.

After cleaning up a little, let the palace people carry the ice cubes and the two of them went to the Yaochun Palace together, and went out of the palace gate to see those people from the Internal Affairs Mansion sweating all over their bodies and busy carrying water back and forth, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but quip: "Your Highness, originally Concubine Lian asked people to send ice cubes in order to get in touch with you, and you, not only did you not appreciate it, but also punished the people she sent, didn't you slap Concubine Lian's face like this?" ”

"Huh." Mu Lingzhi sneered indifferently: "These ice cubes are just what you deserve, they bully you, don't give it to you, and use it as a favor, are you stupid in this palace?" ”

He looked coldly at those palace people who were so tired that they collapsed, and said with a cold eye: "Over the years, I know all the hardships you have suffered in the hands of this mother and daughter, and I have heard about your mother's tesuji being picked, I have heard about it, I didn't pick the mother and daughter's tesuji to give your father and emperor face, and I still hope that I will give them a good face!" ”

"So, today is just a warning to them, if they dare to provoke you again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yu Ruyan's guess was right, after Concubine Lian and Jade Mingzhu got the news, they were shocked, they never expected that their hearts would be treated like this by Mu Lingzhi!

But Yu Mingzhu only thought that all this was caused by Yu Ruyan's instigation in front of Mu Lingzhi, so how could she be willing to let go of Mu Lingzhi like this!
