In the early morning of summer, the gentle wind brings a hint of coolness. Especially sitting by the lake full of lotus flowers, looking at the lotus leaves like a blue plate, holding the crystal clear morning dew, that feeling is really excellent.

It's a pity that the people who want to see are disappointed, Cen Mu Ning took a sip of hot tea, and it was boring.

"Say hello to the Queen." Ziyang dressed up carefully, and when he appeared in front of Cen Muning, the disgust in his eyes was not completely gone. "The queen is really in good spirits. Let people set up refreshments here, enjoy flowers and tea, and be leisurely. ”

"The princess is also very interested, and she gets up early in the morning to enter the palace to talk to the palace." Cen Mooning looked at her outfit carefully, and smiled warmly: "Look at the princess like this, she is carefully dressed." It shows how much the princess cares about today's audience. I think the princess already knows what she's up to. ”

"Yes." Princess Ziyang sighed faintly: "As a princess of the royal family, I didn't expect such a day." Ke Chun's sister's marriage was arranged by my mother. Even though she has someone she loves deeply, she finally married her current forehead. I'm afraid the queen doesn't know yet, my sister went to the nunnery to recuperate, and she went to visit once. I heard that my sister was not lightly ill, so I was in a hurry to take a concubine, saying that I wanted to inherit the family lineage. When my sister found out about this, I was afraid that she would get sicker. ”

"Princess Ziyang mentioned this at this time, I don't know what she wants to imply?" Cen Muning looked at her suspiciously, but she couldn't figure out her thoughts.

"I'm just the most useless daughter of the queen mother. Now that the queen mother has passed away, my brother has become the deposed emperor again. Brother Jiu has allowed me to live until now and gave me a place to live outside the palace, and I am already very grateful. Ziyang frowned, his eyes flashed with coldness: "I hate you, I hate you for being able to transform from a little princess to the queen of the dynasty." Hate your presence for breaking everything I have. After you killed my mother, you brought down my imperial brother, and you helped Brother Jiu destroy everything I had step by step. Now, Brother Nine wants to use me to entrap your uncle's family...... And in order to survive, for the sake of glory and wealth, I can only obey! ”

"Don't say you're so miserable." Cen Muning ate a candied fruit: "The emperor just asked the palace to ask your mind." I didn't ask this palace to persuade you to nod. ”

"Huh." Ziyang Rao smiled: "Do you think what you said is not ridiculous?" What qualifications do I have to refuse. Today, everything I have is given by your husband. If he doesn't want to give, I'm not going to die. On that day, I had an argument with you, and you know what he said to me? ”

Cen Mu Ning remembered the events of that day, and it was over. What did she say to Zhuang Chen, she really didn't think much about it.

"Brother Jiu said to me, if you are safe, you will be able to live. Otherwise, there is probably no trace of me on the genealogy of the royal family. Ziyang smiled and smiled, and tears fell. I have never tried to live such a humble life. What's the difference between me and a lost dog now. I can only wag my tail and beg for mercy in exchange for food and hope of living. If you are not satisfied at all, I can disappear from this world as if I had never been there. Your hearts are so ruthless. ”

In the past few days when the Queen Mother was in a coma, Princess Ziyang did not enter the palace again. It turned out that Zhuang Chenchen said such heavy words, so it was no wonder that she was frightened. "Everyone has their own destiny, and since you were born, you have enjoyed many blessings that others cannot bear in several lifetimes."

"So I'm supposed to pay it back myself?" Ziyang sneered: "I'm just myself now." But in order to survive, I have to use my body to please the men of your Chu family. I have to be his wife, his woman, and bear children for your Chu family. Holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son, what a good story. But you know better than anyone that I have no affection for him, only that I have to accept my fate. ”

"You can not nod." Cen Muning thought to herself, I still wish you were far away from the Chu family.

"May I?" Ziyang smiled very coldly: "As long as I dare to resist, I will end up more miserable than death." My queen mother has died, and my brother has died. In this world, there is not even one who feels sorry for me. If I don't plan for myself, will I let you trample on it? ”

I still remember when I first saw her, she was so proud and proud. Even Princess Ke Chun on the side was compared to the arrogance raised by her noble background.

Now the princess Ziyang in front of her is like a pot of charcoal fire that has been extinguished. The dark muddy soup is only cold, and it is difficult to rekindle.

"Okay, this palace will tell the emperor, you are willing." Cen Mu Ning looked at her eyes, and the thin layer of mist seemed to be unable to blow away even the wind. ”

"Then should I thank the Queen Mother for her grace?" Ziyang bit her lip and looked at her eyes sadly. "It's just that I'm curious, does the queen really want me to be the daughter-in-law of the Chu family? Can't you see through Brother Jiu's mind? He simply wants to use me to restrain the Chu family, a family affair on the surface, in the final analysis, is just a means of checks and balances. ”

Of course, Cen Muning can see it, but she, like Ziyang, has no choice.

She smiled slightly, and said quietly: "God-given good fate, naturally you have fate." Princess Kechun's marriage may not be happy enough, but this palace hopes that Princess Ziyang will be comfortable and safe in your future days. ”

"Ho!" Ziyang chuckled lightly and walked up to her: "Empress, why don't you live for your own glory." You are afraid of offending the emperor, and in the end you will have nothing like me. ”

"Nope." Cen Mu Ning shook his head: "I'm different from you." You'll have nothing, I won't. ”

"The queen is too conceited." Ziyang sneered: "You know where Brother Jiu's heart is, you won't have a solid life anymore." ”

"How do you know that Hongu doesn't know?" Cen Muning looked at her full of grief and indignation, but helpless, and said with deep eyes: "But no matter what, it's fine." In the future, you will become the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, I don't ask you to do much for the Chu family, but I ask you to let go of the past and live a good life. If you do, you won't have to worry about having nothing. The cousin of this palace is a responsible person, and he will definitely treat you well. ”

Ziyang saluted her, and the moment she bowed her head, tears fell from her eyes. "Once upon a time, it was you who asked the lord of the palace to say goodbye. Now it is the lord of the palace who salutes you. Feng Shui takes turns, and who knows what will happen next? ”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Cen Mooning picked up the tea at hand and drank it slowly. I don't know what kind of mood my cousin will have when he learns about this.

"Why does the princess have to wronged herself like this, if you really refuse to nod, the emperor can't force you to marry." Su Duo's eyes were red, and her voice was crying, which made people feel uncomfortable when they looked at it.

"Suduo, you are the only one I can trust by my side now." Ziyang lowered his voice and said softly: "The Cen family was almost killed by her father that day, and she was able to survive because she made a wise decision to marry Brother Jiu." Now, my situation is no different from that of her day, I was forced by my relatives, and even so, marrying into the Chu family is also my hope to live. ”

Su Duo seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but gasp: "The princess wants to avenge the queen mother and the emperor?" ”

"Natural." Ziyang looked into the distance, and those crape myrtles were blooming very well. "Plum blossoms in the harsh winter, crape myrtle blooms in the scorching heat, but as long as you live, you naturally have its reason. This princess can bend and stretch, and for revenge, she can endure any hardship. ”

"But ......"

"I know what you're going to say." Ziyang looked at her sad face and couldn't help but smile: "The queen just doesn't want me to enter the Chu Mansion." So I have to pretend to be reluctant, even disgusted, and resentful. Only then will she facilitate this for me. As long as I enter the Chu Mansion and see the opportunity, I will definitely try to make the emperor destroy the Chu family. There is a rift between the emperor and the queen, do you think the queen can still live under the rule of the ninth brother? ”

"The princess is really scheming." Su Duo was a lot relieved: "It's just that I want to wronged you to marry that reckless man in Chu Mansion, God really has no eyes." ”

"It's all fate." Ziyang said with tears in her eyes: "When the queen mother wanted to marry me to someone else, I stubbornly refused. I prefer to stay with the queen mother. If my mother had chosen a husband for me at that time, this would not be the case now. But I don't regret it. If the person I marry can't help me and help me get revenge, what's the use of him? It's better than now. ”

She said no more, looked up at the sky, and said, "Let's go." I don't want to stay here any longer. ”

When Cen Muning came to Qingxuan Palace, Zhuang Xianchen had already gone down to the court.

Seeing her dressed up, his eyes were slightly gentle: "Have you seen Ziyang?" ”

"Yes." While Cen Mu Ning saluted, she smiled and said, "Princess Ziyang can best share the emperor's worries, she is willing." ”

"Very good." Zhuang Chenchen was not surprised at all. "Wait for your cousin's triumphant return, and I will marry them."

Cen Mu Ning nodded slightly, and was about to say something, when he saw Ruan Er coming out of the tea room, still holding the tea cup in his hand.

"Say hello to the emperor and queen." Ruan Er's knees bowed, and her expression was slightly embarrassed: "The concubine didn't know that Niangniang was coming, so she only prepared a cup of tea." I'm going to cook tea for my mother. ”

"No need." Cen Muning saluted Zhuang Chen: "The princess is married, and the concubines must prepare the items used in accordance with the palace rules. After all, this is the first time that the emperor has given marriage after he ascended the throne, and everything he needs must not be missing, so it is better to prepare early. ”

"Hmm." Zhuang Chenchen agreed: "It is related to the face of the royal family and the Chu family, you just have to prepare well." ”

"The concubine retired." The moment Cen Muning turned around, she clearly saw Zhuang Yinchen's hand holding Ruan Er's wrist. His movements are so familiar, but what he holds is replaced by someone else.

Quietly coming out of the Qingxuan Palace, Cen Muning stepped on the brick floor one by one, feeling a little uncomfortable.

At this time, she felt that she was a bit of a queen.

The queen, if she doesn't suppress the concubines, she will only be attacked by them again and again.
