Chapter 260: The Cold Years Shaped Like a Cold Palace
Since Jiao Niang fell out of favor, she said that she couldn't get sick, and there were many people who laughed at her outside, after all, many people heard the prince competing with her for favor that night, and some people heard the slap.
"She didn't think that she would have this day, when she first came in, it's been three years, and I should be tired of changing me to the prince. The teasing outside the wall was loud, as if it was deliberate, and it rushed through the nine-foot-high wall into the ears of the lady.
"Now she can hide in the house and stay, who has the prince beaten for so many years, she is still the first, how can she still have a face. ”
"Playing petty with the prince, she is too self-conscious, I really think that the prince treats her as a treasure, but she is spoiled for a few more days, and she forgets what her surname is, and she forgets how many catties and taels she has. ”
This voice is sharp like a noise that cuts through the glass, as soon as I hear it, it is Wang Ji, before Jiao Niang entered the house, Ying Che liked to go to her the most, originally thought that she could be promoted from Ji to a concubine, but as soon as Jiao Niang entered the house, Ying Che would never go to her again, and her promotion road had become delusional, so she had long resented Jiao Niang in her heart.
Qing Huan stood under the tree, listening to their conversation, her hands trembled angrily, Jiao Niang glanced at her indifferently, and then raised her voice: "Mrs. Ben doesn't know how many catties and taels she has, but she knows how many catties and taels you two have, although I have been demoted, I am also above you." It just so happens that Mrs. Ben's board has been useless for a long time, and I wonder if you two can lend me your ass to use, so I can practice whether the board is still strong. ”
A timid person was immediately afraid, "Sister, let's go quickly." ”
"What are you afraid of? She has fallen out of favor, and she doesn't even have the right to be the assistant in the back house, what else can she do with us?" Wang Ji was still shouting.
The first person to speak lowered his voice, "Have you forgotten that she killed people in her courtyard?" ”
The two people on the other side of the wall were finally afraid, so they listened to the grass squirping, and the footsteps gradually drifted away, and finally there was no sound.
It's all straw bales, Jiao Niang sneered, ignored it anymore, and looked down at the book.
Today's Guan Ju Pavilion is like a cold palace, quiet as if a needle can be heard on the ground, everyone is listless and energetic.
These people have followed Jiao Niang all the way, and they have also experienced Jiao Niang's fall from grace, but I thought that the prince would still change his mind in a few days, and I didn't want it to be more than a month, and the prince left that day and never came.
Fortunately, there is a small county lord here, and the people outside dare not be harsh, otherwise they will be deducted regardless of what they eat.
It's just that they are a little strange, why is it that for so long, the master looks calm, is it that he is dead to the prince?
Mrs. Zhou came over occasionally, and also persuaded Jiao Niang, bowed her head, and coaxed the prince. But Jiao Niang just smiled and said nothing, unmoved.
That is, Sister Yu'er suddenly came to her one day and asked her, what is called falling out of favor, Jiao Niang's face immediately sank, and warned everyone in Guan Ju Pavilion not to chew the root of their tongue in front of the little county lord, otherwise they would be killed and thrown out.
And so the days passed, like a brocade slowly spread out on the ground, until the dog days came out, and it was the middle of July.
These days, Jiao Niang has never stepped out of the Guan Ju Pavilion, as if this courtyard is isolated from the world, and from time to time there will be news in her ears that Ying Che has visited the princess several times, and Helena is dancing in front of Ying Che in revealing clothes.
Every time this happens, Qing Huan is worried that Jiao Niang will think too much, and can't help but say a few words of comfort, but Jiao Niang has always been expressionless, neither angry nor sad, as if Ying Che has nothing to do with her anymore.
Since she got married, she has been busy every day and has no time to study hard, and this rare opportunity allows her to calm down and study history books.
Most of the history books are men's stories, and occasionally some women are recorded, except for the Empress Dowager Xuan, Empress Lu, Empress Dowager Dou, and Emperor Wu, which have far-reaching significance to history, the rest are the romantic anecdotes of the Zhao Feiyan sisters.
But these words that record women all emphasize that women can only be famous for a hundred years if they have power, otherwise, few are not notorious.
Jiao Niang sighed slightly, and was heard by Wu Dan, who was fanning her, Wu Dan asked with a surprised face, "What's wrong with the master?"
Look at her book, she is turning to the article "Changmen Fu", although she doesn't read much, but she follows Jiao Niang's ears and eyes, and also knows that this "Changmen Fu" is written by Sima Xiangru by Chen Ajiao, the first queen of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ajiao has been beaten into the cold palace at that time.
Chen Ajiao fell out of favor because of Wei Zifu, and now Jiao Niang also fell out of favor because of a woman, how similar the history is.
Wu Dan directly covered the book, Jiao Niang raised her eyes and stared at her in confusion, Wu Dan said: "Reading too many books hurts your eyes, and the master should not be bothered by the stories of his predecessors." ”
Jiao Niang put the book aside and smiled, "Okay, listen to you." ”
......
Ying Che came to Guan Ju Pavilion again on the tenth day after the beginning of autumn, the autumn tiger will stay hot in this season, the sun is shining, Qiu Shuang and Wu Dan move the bedding to the sun to the sun, from time to time with a big beat to hit a dozen, there will be dust vigorous, fine pieces like Venus flying.
Jiao Niang sat in the room playing the piano, looking out through the window, the green leaves were lush, the flowers were fresh, Sister Yu was jumping around in the yard chasing people to play, the baby's laughter was crisp and pleasant, and people couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths when they listened.
was singing a sentence "I am going to the past and twilight, eating and drinking and forgetting people", I saw the door opened, and Wang Zhan, who had not been seen for a long time, trotted in.
Jiao Niang's eyes lit up, and she immediately got up and walked out, her eyes staring at his face, burning.
The corners of Wang Zhan's mouth grinned to the sideburns, and with this look, Jiao Niang's heart that had been hanging for many days finally relaxed, "It's done?"
Wang Zhan was so excited that he couldn't speak, nodded straight, and said happily for a while: "It's done." ”
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and Jiao Niang smiled and didn't say anything, looking mysterious, and only asked, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince is still in the palace at the moment, the saint is furious, and all the princes are kneeling outside the Vientiane Palace and waiting. The prince asked the slave to inform the mother, so that the mother could rest assured. "He still calls him a mother.
The bright smile on Jiao Niang's face couldn't be contained, she pulled her handkerchief and said happily: "When will the prince come back?"
"Oops. Wang Zhan frowned, "It's hard to say, I'm just afraid and I have to wait." ”
Jiao Niang nodded, smiled and asked Qing Huan to take out the silver purse in her bedside table, and said, "During this time, my father-in-law has worked hard to take care of the prince. ”
Wang Zhan smiled embarrassedly, "Niangniang said that, but it was a minion." Catch the purse with both hands, "But the slave of Niangniang's reward is accepted, yo, Niangniang is a rich reward." ”
Jiao Niang smiled and said: "Such a good thing naturally needs to be rewarded, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy." ”
