Chapter 162: Sinking

In Fenghua Palace, Princess Yixing dressed up early in the morning and rushed over early to greet Empress Dowager Li.

"The princess came early, the queen mother just combed her hair" Mama Xu saw Princess Yixing, and was busy smiling and saluting, and then said with a smile on her face.

"Can I get in?" After all, she is not a mother-in-law, although in front of outsiders on weekdays, Empress Dowager Li treats her very well, but Princess Yixing knows that Empress Dowager Li is just a superficial reputation, she is just a gentle and virtuous Queen Mother, in fact, Princess Yixing sneered in her heart.

In the past two days, everyone in the palace said that she was blessed with a good "queen mother", in order to choose a horse for her, she spared no effort, she spared no effort, she just thought about herself. However, what she wants, what she wants, she will never give up so easily.

"What did Her Highness the Princess say?" Mama Xu was busy smiling, "Come in, the Queen Mother was still thinking about it just now."

"Thank you Mama Xu" Princess Yixing was busy agreeing, and walked elegantly towards Empress Dowager Li's bedroom, she knew since she was a child that she was a princess, she should be dignified and gentle, and her demeanor was all over the place - from childhood to adulthood, she reminded herself so deliberately that she was kind and angry on weekdays, and everyone liked it.

It's just that all this seems to fall in the eyes of Emperor Yinxi, it's all for nothing, Princess Yixing feels that no matter how good she is, compared with Yang Xi, she is scum.

Yang Xi, who was originally the least favored by the first emperor, finally stood out and became His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom? To tell the truth, when the holy decree came out, Princess Yixing didn't believe it at all, why did the first emperor pass on the throne to Yang Xi, instead of Yang Hui, who had always been favored by the first emperor? Inside, there's definitely something wrong with this.

She remembered very well that when the holy decree came out, Empress Dowager Li was so angry that her face changed on the spot, and she even smashed the teacup in her hand on the ground regardless of everyone in front of her.

However, she didn't understand why Empress Dowager Li later supported Yang Xi's accession to the throne? And she retreated from the Qianhe Temple? Princess Yixing thought about it, that is, there was only one question, what handle did Empress Dowager Li have in the hands of Yang Xi, causing him to have to retreat.

It's just that she really can't understand that Empress Dowager Li's maiden family is a dignified Zhou State Official's Ministry of Shangshu, which has been operating in the court for many years, coupled with the deliberate support of the original emperor, which has led to the Li family being comparable to the ordinary rich and noble families in the capital, and has even caught up with the prime minister Zhang family. No, because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Li, the Li family today is no longer comparable to the Zhang family.

While thinking about it, Princess Yixing had already walked into the queen mother's bedroom.

Empress Dowager Li had already gotten up, an old lady was carefully combing Empress Dowager Li's long hair, Princess Yixing hurriedly walked up, squatted down and saluted: "I've seen the queen mother"

"Hmm" Empress Dowager Li agreed, and said with a smile, "You came early, have you had breakfast?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, Erchen has already had breakfast," Princess Yixing agreed obediently.

"You sit down for a while, and wait for the mourning family to talk to you," Empress Dowager Li said with a smile.

"Okay" Princess Yixing agreed obediently, and then, sat down on a small stool not far from the Empress Dowager Li, looked up and looked up at the old grandmother combing the hair of the Empress Dowager Li, there is no fat powder on weekdays, Empress Dowager Li's face, the skin is obviously relaxed, plus it has been covered by cosmetics for a long time, the skin is slightly yellow, dull, and the corners of her eyes are also a little frowned, and even, Princess Yixing did not deliberately look at it, you can clearly feel that the Empress Dowager Li is old.

Yes, she is already the queen mother, not the original concubine, and she is in her prime.

Princess Yixing recognized that the old lady who combed Empress Dowager Li's hair at the 'door' was surnamed Wang - it seems that not long after Empress Dowager Li entered the palace, she had combed her hair at the 'door', and her technique was skillful, and now, she was holding an ivory comb in her hand and combing Empress Dowager Li's hair little by little......

A hint of surprise flashed in Princess Yixing's eyes, she didn't seem to have a trace of white hair when she looked at Empress Dowager Li on weekdays, but now, she clearly saw that Empress Dowager Li's head had one or two silver-white 'colors'.

Later, she understood the reason, that Mama Wang, carefully picked up the white hair, cut off the white hair almost imperceptibly, and hid it in the sleeve.

That's right, Princess Yixing can see clearly, there is a very, very small pair of scissors hidden in Mama Wang's sleeve, the scissors are indeed small, but it is enough to cut one or two gray hairs.

Watching Mama Wang tie the hair of the Empress Dowager Li, and then put on the expensive jewelry, although she has not yet put on makeup, the Empress Dowager Li seems to have returned to her usual radiance.

"Your skills are getting better and better" Empress Dowager Li looked in the mirror, very satisfied, and nodded at Mama Wang, Mama Wang was busy and retreated, she was a smart person, knowing that Empress Dowager Li and Princess Yixing had something to say, so she quickly combed Empress Dowager Li's hair and immediately retreated.

"Xiaowan, do you think the mourning family is beautiful?" Empress Dowager Li asked suddenly.

"The queen mother is the best-looking in the world" Yixing hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to support Empress Dowager Li and smiled.

"You little mouth, it's so sweet" Empress Dowager Li shook her head, and let Yixing help her sit down on the chair, then sighed, "The mourning family is old, from the noble concubine to the queen mother, I can still be old, do you think the mourning family doesn't know, just now Aunt Wang quietly cut off the mourning family's white hair and hid it?" ”

"Ah......" Princess Yixing stammered, it turned out that Empress Dowager Li knew everything?

"You're going to be old sooner or later, it's not unusual" Empress Dowager Li took Princess Yixing's hand, 'touched' her white and delicate fingers, and sighed, "I think when the mourning family entered the palace, it wasn't as old as you, at that time, the mourning family also had a dream, this entry into the palace, it was a concubine, and after marrying a first-class man in the world, what was there not to be satisfied with?" But in this palace, sometimes it's really not so easy to stay. At that time, people said that the mourning family was deeply favored, and even the queen was not as beautiful as me, and the mourning family was very proud at that time, and even forgot who he was. ”

"The Queen Mother?" Princess Yixing's face was full of suspicion, at this time, what did Empress Dowager Li do to tell her this?

"In this palace, everything else can be forgotten, but there is one thing that must not be forgotten," Empress Dowager Li said this, and a cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes, "That is, you must not forget your identity." What kind of identity you should be, you can only say what you say, do what you do, and you must not transgress it. ”

"Yes" Princess Shifting Star was secretly a little scared, and hurriedly bowed her head in agreement.

"The title of this princess of yours was begged by the mourning family to be canonized by the first emperor back then" Empress Dowager Li said again, "The mourning family is not a ruthless person, since you helped the mourning family back then, the mourning family also knows, so you wait to go to the Qingmei Garden today, take a good look at those prospective horses, pick a good man, and live from now on."

"Queen Mother......" Princess Yixing suddenly had a feeling of 'touching' her mind.

"Don't you understand what the mourning family means?" Empress Dowager Li's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Princess Yixing was taken aback, she had been afraid of Empress Dowager Li since she was a child, even better than her biological mother, as for the first queen, there was nothing to be afraid of, after all, everyone knew that the first queen was generous, and she would never worry about anything with a child, otherwise, with the means of the first queen, it would not be possible for the Empress Dowager Li to give birth to a prince, which would affect the future.

"Although you and Hui'er are brother and sister, you are also older, and it would be better for you to go less in the future to invite the Moon Palace" Empress Dowager Li said again.

"Yes" Princess Yixing agreed again, in addition to agreeing, what else could she say, how could she hide her little bit of thought from the 'shrewd' Empress Dowager Li?

She grew up with Yang Hui, just when she was a child, waiting for her to get older and begin to understand personnel, Yang Hui is such a suave prince, her heart is a little moved.

She knew they couldn't, but she couldn't control her heart—and then they sank all the way...... Now, there are already several side concubines around the dignified princess, but he has not officially married the princess, but one day, he will marry the princess and enter the 'door', and she, the princess, will officially choose a horse today.

Why is this happening, and why is she a princess? Or rather, why should he be the prince? If not, how good would it be? Thinking of this, Princess Shifting Star smiled sarcastically.

Empress Dowager Li is afraid of the reputation of the princess of the moon, so she naturally wants to prevent her from 'befriending' with Yang Hui again, otherwise, once something 'gets out', it will come out in the future, the princess and the princess**, she will naturally lose face, but she is afraid that the reputation of the princess will not be very good.

"Wait for the mourning family to accompany you to the Qingmei Garden, there is still a good show to be staged today" Empress Dowager Li thought of her today's 'fine' color arrangement, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile - it's hers, it's hers after all, and no one can escape.

"What's the show?" Princess Shifting Stars asked, puzzled.

"Just wait and see" Empress Dowager Li sneered, no one in this palace dared to give her a 'look', she wanted to avenge Keqi, she wanted to snatch everything that should have belonged to her.

"When the matter is completed, I won't treat you badly" Empress Dowager Li patted Princess Yixing's hand, which was considered to comfort her. After the matter is completed, she also needs someone to accept the management together, and when the time comes, Princess Yixing is the best candidate, originally she was optimistic about Keqi, but she didn't expect that Li Keqi would be assassinated and killed when she entered the palace.

Thinking of Li Keqi, Empress Dowager Li's heart ached faintly. And until now, she has not found the murderer, and the only evidence is the skinned puppy......

She also did this thing back then, but she put it in the brocade quilt of Yang Xi's biological mother, Mrs. Miaoyun, and successfully made that fox no longer favored. And now, he actually uses the same method? Is this a warning to her?
