Chapter 174: Midorihime

Although it is noon, the sun is scorching, but the octagonal pavilion named Liubi is like a waterfall on the silver, flying straight down, rumbling into the lake outside the pavilion. The water curtain seems to separate the sight from the sound, and at the same time, it also separates the seasons - it is the height of summer outside the pavilion, but the pavilion is like autumn.

The crown princess was wearing a wide-sleeved deep robe, lying on the couch on her side, her temples were half-dissolved, scattered on the multi-treasure 'jade' pillow, a piece of crows and crows, from the eyes of the 'waiter' and 'woman' standing on the side of the couch, it seemed to bloom a black 'colored' mandala behind her head, making the always bright and fresh princess seem to have some touching meaning.

It's just that those who serve the princess know that the princess, who can be called the model of the 'woman' of the great Lianggui, pursues the beauty of the bright 'glamorous', and the most hated by others to praise herself are these four words, so the 'servant' and 'woman' only dare to think about it in their hearts, and they dare not 'revea' it on their faces.

In fact, the crown princess didn't pay attention to the thoughts of her subordinates at this moment, she was enthusiastically holding a jade pole and teasing a green feather parrot on the incense table next to the couch.

This parrot has a red head with a golden beak and a blue tail, and one foot is tied to a shelf by a thin gold chain, but it still flutters its wings from time to time to want to fly, and it looks wild. The jade rod reached out to it, and it was unceremoniously pecked!

The crown princess always "pulled" the jade rod away when it pecked, so that the "girl" saw it, and said with a smile: "If the mother likes it, why don't you take it out and let people specialize in the 'door' to teach a few auspicious and beautiful words?" ”

"Just have fun." The crown princess smiled casually, but put down the jade pole and said leisurely, "Besides, the so-called auspicious and beautiful words, is it interesting to listen to the empty 'hole' and 'hole'?" If you want to listen, it's still the real good news to listen to the 'spirit' God! ”

The envoy said with a smile: "The maid looks at the mother who is getting younger and younger in the past two days, this is a real thing." ”

"Well, that's good news." When the crown princess heard this, she subconsciously 'touched' her face, smiled unconsciously, and said, "But that's all the good news, at most I will reward you with a cup of tea." Beside it, there is no more. ”

"Niangniang doesn't have to reward the maid with anything, as long as the maid smiles, the maid is happier than the gold and silver mountains." The 'woman' laughed.

The crown princess hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and said: "I love to hear this - I won't reward you with anything in the future, just smile and get it all, what a good thing?" In other words, can the monthly case also be deducted? ”

The 'girl' covered her mouth with her sleeve, sighed, and said angrily: "What a noble person is Niangniang, and she still has to worry about money with her maid for a few months?" Then he laughed again, "But it's nothing if you don't give it, the maid turned back to the county king and the county princess and said, sure that the county king and the county princess will make up for the maid - lest the maid think of the monthly money and neglect to serve the mother, so that the mother can't go well!" ”

She smiled and said, "So, if the mother doesn't give it, the prince and the princess will give it to the maid." Who called the prince of the county and the princess of the county to be filial? ”

"Alas, I was disheartened by what you said, I thought I thought of a way to save money, but I didn't want to, but it didn't work." The crown princess said with a smile.

The 'girl' said angrily: "Niangniang loves to bully people!" What's the point of bullying a servant all day long? The servants are all so obedient. Her eyes were 'waves', and she said with a smile, "Look, the maid has been idle since the summer, why don't you talk to someone else?" ”

"Who do you say you will change?" The crown princess pointed to the orchid 'flower', nodded on the side of the snow cheeks, seemed to think for a moment, and said with a smile, "Understood-it seems that Midorihime is still outside?" How long have you been on your knees? An hour, right? I should be awake too...... Let her in. ”

The 'girl' smiled and said: "Niang Niang is kind-hearted, but the maid has heard of it, this green Ji Min 'girl' was born, before entering the East Palace, but she is very capable of working, only an hour, this Cuiwei Mountain is so cool that I am afraid that the light of the wind is not enough for her!" And she also thought well, just knelt in the closest place to the pavilion, and the water droplets hit her body, and the maid took a look, half of her clothes were soaked, but it was even cooler." Besides, her face is unlucky, and the maid doesn't want her to come to the mother to be unlucky, the maid is talking about the Yongcheng Hou Shizi 'woman', this prince 'woman' and a pair of twins on her knees, looking at it is pleasing to the eye, and the maid feels that it is good to look at a few more times. ”

"It's okay if your clothes are wet, it's as hot as today, won't it dry when you go to the sun for a while? As for the first age, it's too late. The crown princess said lazily, "Okay, call Lu Ji in, Feng Nu will bring the crane slave over later, don't let them bump into each other and spoil their interest." ”

The 'girl' hurriedly said: "It's the maid who was negligent, and only wanted to ask Lu Ji to wait a while, but he forgot that the county king was going to bring Xiao Shizi today." ”

After a while, he rushed over to see the princess before noon, but because the princess's close 'attendants' insisted that the princess go to sleep, it was not appropriate to disturb, so she had to kneel outside and pray, and the green queen who had been brought in until now was brought in.

Although Lu Ji has no serious name in the East Palace, her name has been thunderous in Xianping - born in a cold "door", her posture is not bad, and she fell in love with the young prince Tang Ang outside the palace at first sight, and the prince even once rebelled against the emperor for her, and refused to marry the crown princess Mu Shi, who was personally chosen by Queen Chunyu.

It wasn't until Queen Chun Yu was furious and asked Tang Ang to make a choice between the position of the crown prince and marrying Mu as the crown princess, that Tang Ang was defeated. Because of this, Queen Chunyu was extremely disgusted with Green Ji, so disgusted that although she failed to become a crown princess, she was resolutely not allowed to have a title such as a side concubine or a child.

But even so, the prince still loves her very much, not only withstanding the pressure of Empress Chunyu, but also letting her give birth to her eldest son, King Yanchang County, before the crown princess, and even the support for King Yanchang County over the years has almost reached the point of exhaustion.

However, although this incident touched many young 'girls' in the boudoir who were ignorant of the world, the reputation of Green Ji in the court and the opposition was not very good. First, there is a queen Chunyu in this dynasty, a queen who favors a wife without asking about indiscriminateness, and is very taboo about spoiling concubines and destroying wives - not to mention that Confucian orthodoxy does not approve of spoiling concubines and killing wives!

Second, the harmony of the emperor and queen and the harmony of husband and wife are all signs of prosperity, and if you can pamper the concubine and 'serve' the concubine, that is, the internal concubine will be "chaotic".

Like Lu Ji, after instigating the prince to rebel against the emperor before entering the East Palace, she has long been marked as a future 'adulterous' concubine by some stubborn courtiers, and her reputation for being a red face and a troubled woman in 'private' is also stable.

It's just that although Green Ji does have a good appearance, it is too much to say that she is red-faced.

Chu Chu pitifully came in, Chu Chu pitifully knelt in front of the crown princess 'girl' Zi Wangzhi is about twenty years old, with a pretty melon seed face, curved eyebrows, big apricot eyes, slightly frowning eyebrows at the moment, apricot eyes 'desire' flowing, looking more and more lovable.

- It's beautiful, but it's only a little better than ordinary beauties, and according to Da Liang's current preference for flamboyant and bright beauty, it's not as good as the crown princess. Not to mention comparing it with a real 'color' like Zhuo Zhaojie.

Anyone who has seen Midorihime is surprised why the prince has been pampering her and protecting her for decades, and even loves the house and Wu to the point of desperately wanting the eldest son of the two to ascend to the throne, could it be that these two are really a long-cherished marriage?

Mu Shi also considered this problem when she married into the East Palace, but after having the King of Zhending, she didn't bother to think about it. At this moment, I was thinking about sending Lu Ji away quickly to see my son and eldest grandson, so I didn't have the heart to think about it, so I knelt down and asked bluntly: "What do you have to say when I take a break?" ”

Green Ji knows that the princess doesn't like herself - in fact, the princess not only doesn't like Green Ji, but also doesn't like the prince, before the birth of the king of Zhending County, the princess also covered up her dislike for the prince, since there is the king of Zhending County, the princess is too lazy to deal with the prince, the princess has Chun Yu Queen to rely on, Emperor Xianping listened to the words of the queen, and has always thought that this daughter-in-law 'woman' is virtuous, humble and generous, and can be a model for the imperial daughter-in-law.

The emperor and queen are full of praise for the crown princess, the princess acts without leakage, and it is not easy for the prince to find her trouble, not to mention Lu Ji, she is a person who has long understood the methods of the crown princess, and at this moment she said cautiously: "Niangniang, the concubine has just received the news, Zhennu is not doing well in Lingnan now, and she begs the mother to be gracious......

Before she finished speaking, the crown princess had already frowned and shouted, "It's ridiculous! The exile of Tang Cheng is the will of the father and the queen mother! What does it have to do with me?! You asked me to be gracious, do you mean that I instigated this matter? Let's not say that I have never dared to speak out about the government without authorization, just say how wise my father and mother are, how can I be such a person who will listen to the provocative words of my daughter-in-law and 'wife'?! ”

The crown princess took a few cases and said angrily, "Or in your mind, the father and the queen mother are such people?!" ”

Lu Ji knew that the crown princess was good at rhetoric, and she was far from being able to reach it, so she came to intercede at this moment, but she didn't dare to fight-for-tat, so she only cried and said: "How dare you concubine?" It's the concubine who is stupid and said the wrong thing......"

"Since you know stupidity, you don't come to me." The crown princess said politely, "I don't have to teach my maid here!" ”

The princess's dowry envoy 'girl' said with a smile on the side: "Niangniang, let's put out the fire, although the maid is not sensitive, but the rules are still known, and the appearance of the green queen is not daring to learn." ”

"!" Listening to the humiliation of the master and servant, Lu Ji was silent for a short time, and suddenly shouted fiercely, rushed to the crown princess, and begged mournfully, "The concubine begged for a mother!" The concubine is just such two sons! Before the Ning family's big house was exiled to Jiannan, it was still rich, but because of the miasma, it was calculated, and only the widow and weak son were left in the house to return to Chang'an! Jenu he ......"

The crown princess asked calmly: "Did you all hear it?" ”

The dowry envoy's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she nodded: "Green Ji is crying so loudly that it's hard for the servants to hear it." ”

"Let's slap my mouth first." The crown princess said slowly, "Last year, due to the matter of the brother of the Marquis of Yongcheng, my father was sick for a while, and now I still tell my mother first, and then decide whether to tell my father!" It's just that I'm always the crown princess now, and it's hard to ignore the affairs of the East Palace! ”

The dowry envoy 'woman' sighed: "There is such a person in our East Palace, it is really embarrassing for the mother!" ”

While speaking, there was already a messenger 'woman' who stepped forward to take a piece of bamboo to 'want' to do it, but when Lu Ji saw this, she suddenly 'pulled' a long hairpin from her sleeve and turned it upside down, pressed it against her throat, and shouted: "Niang Niang doesn't like me, what kind of ability is it to take my son out of anger?!" I don't have to do it today, I just want to say one thing, my mother doesn't allow me, so why don't I ask for 'sex' to die here?! It's just that the mother can afford the wrath of His Royal Highness the Prince?! ”

"That's my thing." The crown princess did not panic at all, and happily stroked the long hair that fell in front of her chest, and said, "Besides, you are not even a son, Tang Yuan and Tang Cheng, you can also be called a son?!" ”

"You!" Midorihime trembled slightly with anger, but as if she had thought of something, she sneered and said, "You are just saying this in front of people, and you are taking advantage of it verbally - how many years has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not been to you?" You're jealous of me, aren't you? So you instigated your son to go against Baonu everywhere, and last year you tried to get Zhennu to go to Lingnan! Even Zhennu was exiled to Lingnan and did not let him go, and sent people to disturb him so that he sent letters back three times and twice to cry...... Aren't you just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snubbed you and made you only a princess who exists in name only, so you can't get along with our mother and son by all means? ”

She raised her chin high and said contemptuously, "But even so? In the end, the throne was passed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first! Now with the emperor and queen, you can bully us until the next day......"

Before Midori finished speaking, the princess's dowry envoy 'girl' suddenly stepped over, and in her unbelievable gaze, she raised her hand lightly and slapped it neatly!

The handmaiden who served the princess was not small, and Midori was delicate, and she was slapped by her and fell to the ground!

"Is it true that everyone is like you, without the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, even a dog in this palace is not as good?" made the 'female' spit on Lu Ji, and sneered, "Niang Niang is a serious royal daughter-in-law appointed by the queen and registered by the emperor, what are you, a plaything!" It's that the person who is in love with you is the prince, and Chenguang has grown a little longer, and a plaything is a plaything, and he actually said that our mother would be jealous of you? ! Your face, could it be that the city wall is ramparts?! ”
