Chapter 169: King Chen, Don't Bully My Cousin
Chu Lixue looked as white as smoke, this guy really didn't know whether to live or die, he dared to run in front of her to show off his might, and he didn't know where she got her confidence.
"Bai Ruyan, what the concubine wants to do has nothing to do with you, and the prince doesn't blame the concubine for anything? Which green onion are you, dare to come to my Xiaoxiang Pavilion to spread wild, if you know what's interesting, get out by yourself, otherwise, the concubine will let you out. ”
"Don't think that you are the princess so arrogant, I am the niece of the Queen Mother, if it weren't for my young age, today's queen of the middle palace would be me, and even you would have to salute when you see me." Bai Ruyan said proudly.
When she entered the palace a few days ago, she happened to hear what the Queen Mother said to her father outside the Queen Mother's palace, in fact, she was originally very unwilling, why she is also a concubine, her appearance and talent are far more than the one in Qingluan Palace, why is the other party the queen, and she is the side concubine.
In the past, she was a little ignorant of the truth, and even if she had resentment in her heart, she only felt wronged, but now that she knows, then she must work hard to climb to the highest position.
"Concubine Fang, let's go, or the prince will come back later......"
I just listened, snapped, and the little maid hadn't finished her words, and she was slapped back by a slap that was as white as smoke. When she arrived, the little girl didn't dare to say anything, but just knelt on the ground and waited for her master to vent all her anger.
Chu Lixue glanced at the little girl who was kneeling on the ground lightly, and didn't say a word, hum, this is acting for herself, knowing that there has been a lot of movement on Yayuan's side recently, and she is controlled in her yard again, and she can't get any news, it seems that she wants to put eyeliner next to her.
Fortunately, more than half of the project on the side of Yayuan has been completed, and the rest of the project, even if it is seen, will not be suspicious.
In the court, the emperor also heard about this incident, and he already had doubts in his heart, thinking who Princess Nachen was, she really wanted to go out of the house to go around, why should she be afraid of the wall? It's not that this King Chen has any ideas, it's just an excuse to say so, but he actually wants to hide something.
"King Chen, your princess, I still know, she is not a troublemaker, how can she climb the wall of her own courtyard, can you give me a reasonable explanation?" The emperor took a good time.
Although he is not a qualified emperor, after all, he was born in the royal family and has lived in the strife of the court since he was a child, so he naturally does not easily believe in one person or one thing.
What's more, the princess Chen he knew was smart and clever, if there was really something that he couldn't see, he would have asked the guards around her to twist people to Jingzhao Mansion, so why quarrel with people on his own wall. This is really not what she used to do.
Hearing the emperor ask this, King Ning and Shangguan Tianyu glanced at each other without revealing a trace, how should this be said to be good? Princess Chen's style in the past is indeed not like this, is it possible to say that she is evil?
"Your Majesty, this matter is to blame the ministers, a few days ago the princess personally cooked for me to make a plate of chopped pepper fish head, but the pepper was too much, I just said, it was too spicy, there was no umami of the fish, who knows, she actually poured a pot of fish, even the soup with ingredients from my head, so, I grounded her in her yard, if she dared to run out, I would break the legs of the three girls in her house. The princess felt sorry for the well-known people, in order to prevent her maidservant, she really didn't go out, and you have all heard about the aftermath, and I really don't want this kind of thing to happen again, after all, the princess is beautiful, and I don't want to provoke the bold prodigal son to make trouble outside my house. ”
After finishing speaking, all the ministers covered their lips and chuckled, they thought that the famous King Chen was afraid of his wife, if this happened to them, they would have divorced their wives a long time ago, and it was a simple thing to pass with a grounding.
The Emperor laughed, "This is the princess's temper, such a thing does seem to be something she can do, and it is true."
It's hard for you, you have to endure such a fierce wife, I don't know what happened to the side concubine Bai in your house? ”
"She's always in her own yard and sometimes goes to the princess for trouble." King Chen said lightly.
Doesn't the emperor just want to know how chaotic his mansion is, the princess is domineering, and the white smoke is not a good stubble, these two people are together, it's strange if they don't turn the palace upside down, since the emperor hopes so much that the palace of the king of Chen will not be peaceful, then their husband and wife will do as he wishes.
"Oh? The trouble for the white concubine to find the princess? Then she is going to be unlucky, the princess is not so easy to mess with as ordinary women, but you want a bowl of water to be level, you can't protect her in everything because you like the princess, no matter what Concubine Bai says, she is my cousin, I don't allow you to bully her. ”
Hmph, it turned out that he was waiting for him here, it seems that Bai Ruyan has really been delivering news to the palace, otherwise how could the matter of him building the courtyard wall reach the emperor's ears so quickly, even if she is grounded in her own courtyard, she can pass the news out, and she really underestimated that Bai Ruyan.
"What did the emperor say, Concubine Bai has food and clothing in the house, but the minister has never treated her badly, why did he bully her." King Chen is so tidy.
This woman was originally a fine work that you forced into him, and she could eat and drink well, which was already the tolerance of their husband and wife, otherwise, Bai Ruyan's fate would be the same as Bai Bingyu.
Bai Bingyu was pushed into the tiger cage because he violated his own scales, this is called self-inflicted sin and cannot live, he just fulfilled her.
"Naturally, you didn't treat her badly in terms of food and clothing, but after she entered the house, you never spent the night in her room, and let her stay alone in the empty room all day long, isn't it bullying her?"
"Your Majesty, the minister is already a treacherous person, the minister has told the world that he will never accept a concubine in this life, but the emperor insisted on stuffing his cousin into the palace of King Chen, which made the princess and the minister have a little estrangement, if the minister stays in the white concubine's room, what will the princess do, the minister is really unimaginable." King Chen said coldly.
Hearing this, the emperor's face sank, this is accusing him in public, isn't it? If he was given two women, he was still so dissatisfied, if he had given it to others, he would have been thanked a thousand times, and who would be so full of complaints like him.
When the ministers heard King Chen say this, they were also surprised, it was really inappropriate to openly contradict the emperor like this in the court, and now the emperor is counting on King Chen for everything, otherwise when everything is smooth, the emperor will definitely get rid of it quickly. Thinking of this, many courtiers felt sorry for King Chen.
"Your Majesty, King Chen has married the side concubine according to his will, as for the emotional matter, it can't be forced, if the white side concubine can't touch King Chen's heart, it's better to give her a marriage match as soon as possible while she is still young, it's better than staying alone in the empty house." King Ning said in a deep voice.
When Emperor Fang mentioned the matter of adding the courtyard wall of the palace, he felt strange, the courtyard wall was the inside of the courtyard that was added first, and the craftsmen were all built by the people of the Cold Moon Palace, and he also felt very strange about how the news walked.
But now the emperor is forcing King Chen to have sex with Concubine Bai as soon as possible, isn't this deliberately destroying the relationship between husband and wife? This emperor is really doing things more and more excessively, and the golden whip given to him by the first emperor may soon come in handy.
"King Ning, I also hope that King Chen's Mansion will spread as soon as possible, this Princess Chen has been in the palace for more than two years, and she has not given birth to a boy and a girl to King Chen, and I am also concerned about King Chen's heirs." The emperor was full of jokes.
Hmph, don't you want to pinch King Chen's weakness when you care about the issue of heirs? Now that Princess Chen's status is noble, and there is the support of Yaowanggu and Murong Villa behind her, she can't hurt her easily at all, caring about the heirs is just an excuse, if you want to catch a child, it is naturally much easier than catching an adult, and the emperor's mind is already obvious.
"Your Majesty, it's hard to say about the heirs, the old minister thinks that the emperor should have a few more concubines, now there are only three princesses in the emperor's harem, and there is no prince, and the emperor will be a hundred years later, the emperor will ...... "King Ning is not easy to mess with, since you said the problem of the heir, then lead the trouble to him."
Hearing this, the emperor's face was displeased, isn't this scolding him for being incompetent? There are so many concubines who don't have sons, is it simply implying that they are destined to cut off their children and grandchildren? There have been rumors before that he has not obtained the right throne, so God has not given him a prince so far, although he has daughters, he only has three young daughters, and most of the other children have been stillborn or lost in various accidents.
Thinking of this, in fact, he also has a lot of helplessness, the queen is jealous, and does not allow other concubines to give birth to the prince one step ahead of her, in order to consolidate her position, she killed the concubines, and plotted to kill the emperor's heir, he knows all this, but he is helpless, even his own mother has said that the prince must be born to the queen, that is to say, if the Bai family wants to prosper forever, it will definitely let someone with the blood of the Bai family ascend the throne as the emperor.
"King Ning, I'm talking about King Chen, how did you get involved with me, I'm still young, it's not difficult to give birth to a prince, not to mention that now my favorite concubine Rou is pregnant, maybe she will give me a prince." The emperor said with joy on his face.
When he learned that Concubine Rou was pregnant, he was surprised and delighted, and he vowed to let him be born safely. Moreover, Concubine Rou is also a member of the Bai family, although she is said to be an illegitimate daughter, but after all, she also has the blood of the Bai family on her body, and she is happy to see his mother.
"The emperor also said, the emperor is still young, so Princess Chen and King Chen are still young, now Princess Chen herself is a child, how can she be a good mother, as an uncle Wang, the minister hopes that she will be more mature and can have children, not to mention, now Princess Chen has done a lot of business for the treasury, if she is now allowed to have children at home with her husband and children, then Beichen's treasury will lose a lot of taxes." King Ning raised his eyebrows and said.
King Ning really knows the emperor too well, and there is nothing more important in his heart than his throne and money, especially now, his treasury is empty, and he urgently needs a lot of silver to replenish, otherwise, the salaries of the officers and soldiers will not be distributed. Thinking of this, the emperor didn't defend himself, and he no longer mentioned the matter of letting King Chen favor the side concubine, and he felt that King Ning seemed to be on the side today, and Uncle Wang, who had been neutral, chose King Chen's side, which was not good news.
